Hey can anyone help reccomend a good website/app for making simple (free) timelines? I've tried a couple but the ones I've found are all cluttered with unnecessary graphics :/

[mo0l]

i find it sorta funny that people shit on mascot horror, its not like if the genre wasnt popular the people making these games would be making super good horror games instead,,, and say what u will abt fnaf, it may be overblown and stuff by now of course but fnaf 2 in particular is like GOAT af,,, also that new game thats getting some buzz, Shipwrecked 64,,, its not even rly mascot horror but it shares some stylistic similarities to it and it looks fucking awesome, i think people need to not completely write off mascot horror, even tho, yes admittedly, poppys playhouse, garten of banban, baldis basics, bendy etc etc are all garbage

[gemharvest]

Scrapping this sketch bc it does notttt match the layout properly at all but I think the perspective on the main stage looks kinda cool so like. Lookie.

(Known) Maps in Five Nights at Freddy’s

[inkperch]

Oh my fucking god its the vents.

Cassies line about how "it's like an oven!" made me fucking realisr-

The weird,, somewhat nonsensical rooms full of fire sat beneath fnaf6 are the vents we play in, the "labyrinth of sights and sounds, a maze with no exits."

We put the 'scrapped' animatronics and had our own office in the damn basement, how did it take me this long to put together-

FNaF DBD Chapter Speculation

Characters and Cosmetics

As we're sure you've heard, FNaF is coming to DBD after YEARS of being requested! We thought it'd be fun to look at who the potential characters coming to the game could be, and their cosmetics as well (that's the real fun part).

First, who do we think is gonna be added to the game?

Considering this crossover didn't get green lit until the success of the movie, we're gonna say it's all movie based.

Safest bet is:

Killer- The Yellow Rabbit

Survivors- Mike and Vanessa

They make the most sense, they're the main antagonist and protagonists of the movie respectively. Obviously excluding Abby, but we doubt they'd ever add her. There are no little kid survivors in DBD.

Now onto potential cosmetics!

This is mainly just stuff we'd like to see based on previous games as there isn't much cosmetic options present in the movie. Mixing the games and the movie is a smart idea to entice and excite fans of the franchise anyway!

The Yellow Rabbit:

Springtrap

Alright this one was obvious. Of course they're gonna do this. How could they not?

Freddy Fazbear

It is an interesting dilemma that the name sake of the franchise is so unimportant. So it wouldn't be surprising if Freddy got a skin. The skins are still canon to the Entity's realm as well, so fret not.

Clown Springtrap

Probably his most iconic costume from the AR game! But maybe we are biased, clown characters are always the best.

Mike Schmidt:

Game accurate purple shirt

You know the look, look at that pelvic thrust!

PURPLE GUY?!

In the same vein we got the iconic guy who is purple but isn't actually purple guy.

Foxy Bully

The event that started it all. Maybe? Probably not actually. But it certainly was a messy event! Both for the lore and William's business!

Vanessa Afton Shelly:

Ok just gonna put in now that we are extremely biased for Vanessa. Besides the DCA, she is our favorite character from the games and movie! Security Breach was an amazing concept that was unfortunately executed poorly. It's a shame Vanessa and Vanny never really got their chance to shine.

Game Accurate Security Guard

Game Vanessa, what more is there to say? White girl jumpscare!

Vanny

Now it'd be hard to give her the full suit, players would think she's a killer. But maybe they could give her a mask, similar to Cassie's in Ruin. This mask would just be a head only accessory. Mainly meant to go on the game accurate outfit.

Rainbow Hair And Pronouns

In the AR game when Vanessa was going by "Ness" she was described as having rainbow hair streaks. It is a shame this was never in the game. Please girl, come slay. Kill that old man William with your pronouns, hair dye, and definitely lesbianism.

Charlie Emily:

Another separate character costume. Charlie was the very first female protagonist in the FNaF franchise and really the first in depth fleshed out character we ever got. So fuck of course she deserves a spot! The original novel trilogy is what led to so much of the lore we have today. Sure the novels had their weird moments, but Charlie was a stand out amazing character. We miss novel Charlie, this would be a great way to bring her back!

That's all we've got for character and cosmetic ideas! We assume the map(s) will just be an indoor pizzeria layout of some kind. But as someone who fucking hates indoor DBD maps it'll be a pipe dream they add an outdoor Fall Fest map to tease The Secret Of the Mimic. That'll never happen though so ignore that and chug salt.

[butchsophiewalten]

notable things from the update so far:

- the camera screen above shows the same area as "birthday" picture from charles's page

- the one below shows the lobby in front of the much-hyped poker maze (i think?)

- white box thing (?) in the right bottom corner

- name tag/plate behind the drink cup with "Bunny" and the letters C and H (i assume), which could hint at both CHris and CHarles. i want to lean towards charles since he is rumored to play a big role in twf4 but chris is always hiding around the corner here so anything is possible.

- the fact that we now have a security guard character, with the setup very much reminiscent of the classic FNAF security office (the plushie, the posters, the drink) which is clearly the afformentioned "CH-" character

- lots of questions about the yellow poster with the uhhh drumstick things on the far right of the screen.

Lol, a lot of this is basically what I was going to say in a post this morning!

For anyone who didn't see last night: the main page of Findjackwalten updated!

On it we see this:

With the top left screen playing a filtered version of the minisode from last month.

You're right that the top right screen is showing the same room as on the /0714-74 page!

We're also seen this room one other time, in Martin's twitter banner from June of last year:

Looking at the map of Bon's Burgers we get from the Bon's Burgers Commercial, I think its safe to say the hallway in these images is "Corridor A"

The location visible on the bottom screen we're also seen before, in a teaser provided by Martin to Instagram user Waltenews:

As well as in Martin's current Twitter banner:

But a problem I'm running into here is that I have no idea where this room is. Identifying features I'm looking for on the Bon's Burgers map is a med-large square or rectangular room with a door to the right side of the wall, and a table opposite the door (not completely necessary to be there -- the table may just not be marked on the map). The only room I think even resembles this in layout is the Employee area leading into the Backstage, which makes no sense because this room is obviously public-facing.

The only real clue I can gather is that this room appears to have a door in it with a sign hung on it, one that I would have to assume reads something like "Employees Only", considering it appears to be a metal door with handle instead of an open curtain like we've seen for public areas?

If that is an employee door, this could possibly be Corridor B?? even though I doubt it. The only thing that leads me to say that is the door layout being roughly correct, if we assume the curtained door leads to the censored area on the Bon's Burgers map? It being the location of the poker maze doesn't make no sense, but the room's layout isn't exactly consistent with anything we can see on the Bon's Burgers map, so it confuses me. Maybe there's something obvious I'm missing here.

About our mystery "CH" security guard character here, if we're meant to interpret the presence of the minisode on the screen as indication that the Local 57 spotlight on the mystery of Bon's Burgers already exists and has aired/is airing, then Charles would be long dead already. Which I think gives us a good idea of who this CH actually is...

Which begs the question as to why there's security cameras monitoring the inside of Bon's Burgers even after the restaurant's closure, if that really is what we're meant to glean from this. It also makes me wonder where this office building is, if the Bon's Burgers building is shut down and unused, and we've never seen or heard of this room in K-9 before. Maybe it's in the warehouse we've heard of? Or even some unknown 4th location?

This weird white box in the corner is interesting to me, too. Whatever it is, it's being obscured here on purpose. This corner of the image is the only one to have this weird shadowy vignette.

This yellow poster on the side is really killing me, too. Especially in how the "drumsticks" so obviously have Something written on them that is just illegible.

Lots and lots of interesting stuff happening in this FJW update...

[idsfantasy]

Concerning the ever infamous Midnight Motorist, for the dirt pile portion, saw someone on Twitter point out that the ground of said pile was lighter in color to the black mostly used. On closer inspection, the light portion covers 3/4 of the area and is mostly rectangular with the exception being the entrance to it. Basically, I'm wondering, instead of focusing on the dirt pile (though I think its still important) the key to solving that aspect lies in the layout out the pile is in? Like, maybe it connects to a past map of FNAF or blueprint? FNAF6 is meant to tie up all loose ends and clear doubt, so perhaps that layout is meant to be Scott's vague hint of trying to clear up something location wise?

Maybe. I don't really know what significance that would be though. Something to think about at least.

Why Henry's Completion Ending monologue still gives me chills

CONTENT WARNING: Mentions of child murder and suicide

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator released in December 2017 and was packed full of lore. From Candy Cadet's stories, to the Scooper blueprints, to the Fruity Maze minigame and even to the still unsolved Midnight Motorist gameplay, there was a lot to discover and unpack. However, today I don't feel like doing any lore solving or theorising, instead I'd like to simply explain why I love Henry's Completion Ending Speech. I will be directly quoting the important points, but if you need a refresher you can find the whole thing here. One last thing before I begin, I think it's important to remember that when listening to the speech for the first time, players weren't certain on who was speaking. Although Henry was an established character in the books and we were aware of William having a business partner, Henry's name in the games wasn't proven until PJ Heywood, the VA for Michael and William Afton, confirmed it to be Henry on Dawko's The FNAF Show. For talking sake, I want to approach and evaluate the speech from the angle of listening to it for the first time without the foresight or context we now have.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Connection terminated. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name.."

Henry's opening line is Incredibly effective for two main reasons:

Firstly, this was a pretty important name reveal. Although we already knew that William Afton's daughter had been killed by Circus Baby, and was therefore the spirit possessing her, we did not know her name. Considering the character's lore importance, her name being revealed was a big moment for fans.

Secondly, although we didn't know who exactly was talking, calling out Elizabeth's name made it clear that this was someone important. Someone with connections to the Afton Family.

So, with a single line of dialogue there are two major pieces of information being conveyed to the player. That's what I think makes this such a strong opening.

"I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although you have indeed been called. You have all been called here into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize."

Moving on, Henry begins explaining that the restaurant is really a maze and the map that we've been staring at throughout the office gameplay suddenly appears, except I think this time it seems a lot more... ominous. The thing is, FNAF6 is a pretty overwhelming game. There's so much constantly happening in each gameplay section that there's a pretty limited amount of brainpower one can put into analysing the layout too much. It's only at this moment that players have the opportunity to really weigh up the implications. I think this was done really well. This moment allows for the paranoia to peak as the reality sets in: there's no escape. We still don't know who is talking and therefore have no idea the motivations behind his plan. It's a scary realisation and just fills this moment with so much dread and anxiety.

"I am remaining as well. I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away, as the agony of every tragedy should."

Now, this is where the speech begins to shift in tone. As the listener, your nerves begin to subside as you realise that, although you still don't know this character, you start to realise their intentions.

The last line here has always stuck with me for how beautifully written it is. I think it goes a long way to show exactly how Henry feels about everything that has happened over the years. He's fed up and wants to bring an end to this sad and tragic story.

"And to you monsters trapped in the corridors, be still and give up your spirits. They don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more, waiting for you after the smoke clears."

Hearing Henry refer to the animatronics as "monsters" is really intriguing to me because it means that, although he views them as alive, there is a separation between them and the child souls that inhabit them. It's sad, in my opinion, because I can only image that there was a time where he was proud of the animatronics. A lot of them were his own creations and they brought joy to a lot of children out there, but ultimately they had become unrecognisable to him. He veiws them as evil. Extensions of his ex-business partner and his wrongdoings. Ultimately, though, I think it's sweet to know that he imagines the children's spirits being able to move onto something better.

"Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend."

Honestly, I'm not sure this line needs much explaining. I think I'd be hard-pressed to find a single FNAF fan that didn't have goosebumps hearing it for the first time. There's something so chilling listening to Henry refer to William Afton as "old friend" while we watch his rotten corpse and soul burn in the fire that Henry has started. This is also where we begin to learn who is speaking to us.

"My daughter, if you can hear me… I'm sorry on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours… I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest; for you, and for those you have carried in your arms."

These lines say a lot about who Henry was and again highlight his intentions. While I love hearing him speak directly to Charlie, I think the way he also mentions the other children says a lot more about his character. Yes, he's doing this for himself and Charlie, but he's also doing this for them. He isn't selfish or self-serving. While he may not have known the other children, he still takes the time to mention that this is as much for them as it is for himself and his daughter.

"This ends for all of us. End communication."

These last two lines may be simple, but I personally think they're perfect. Henry is attempting to end everything. His own guilt, William's evil, the suffering of all the children. All of these objectives are of equal importance, for the sake of everybody and everything, it all must stop. And who knows, Maybe in Henry's final moments he was still and quiet, reflecting on it all. Maybe he was given one last chance to speak with his daughter Charlie and tell her he loved her one final time. I think it's up to you to decided what your own headcannon is. Regardless, Henry's last lines prove that he was a good and honest man. He cared about it all, not just the parts that affected him or his life. He was doing what he thought had to be done to bring this story to a close once and for all. His monologue is, in my opinion, some of the best content across the entirety of FNAF. The writing is phenomenal and the performance given by Dave Steele is incredible. It's simply something I'll never forget.

Hello, me and 2 of my friends who are studying game creation would love to make a game based on you Phobia au Five Nights at Freddys animatronics. Before ANYTHING is made we would like to have your blessing on the project, we would obviously give tremendous amounts of credit to your detailed and horrendously terrifying designs in any way you like. If you do not allow us to use your designs, there will be no fuss on our part. I would

Have you know we have no work under our belt. I am going to be working on the models, another with be coding and map layout and the last with be story elements and voice acing. Feel free to respond whenever you like and I would just like to say, your work has been a inspiration for me for a long time :)

This is a copy and paste from my Reddit account, this is my first time using Tumblr. The reason I'm reaching you here is due to your current activity on it compared to Twitter and reddit. Have a good day and respond whenever possible

If you want to make it, go for it. Just know that. I haven't been into fnaf for a long time and thus haven't worked on that au for. a while. and I don't really have interest in it anymore.

[msdrprofessorjessica]

Alchemists Apathy now that I think about it has a lot of horror attractions, since I decided to make fangames canon in the background. Since there's a lot, I feel like I should talk about some of them.

Of course, there is Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction. Just like canon Fnaf it opens up in the year 2023. I think this one would be a mix between the games map layout and the map layout of the Fazbear Frights story "What We Found", along with some other pieces from fan material. I would imagine the attractions (there's a total of three working animatronics) would be behind locked gates and would try and break out to scare the visitors of Fazbear's Fright. William views Fazbear's Fright as his kingdom. The first place he was taken to when taken out of the safe room, the place where he could show off his immortality to the world. He was a little sad when it burned down but shrugged it off almost immediately when he realized he was no longer trapped and free to roam the world. The other attractions burned and were set free from their prisons. Michael was found collapsed over a pile of rubble and was rushed to the hospital after he was found.

Fredbear's Fright, the attraction belonging to the game of the same name, was a 2013 location owned by FunFrights Inc in after thirty years had passed from the original Fredbear's Family Diner closing down. The people at FunFrights were massive fans of the Fredbear character and wanted to see Fredbear tower over others in a horror attraction. They gathered some old Fredbear and Spring Bonnie characters from the short lived Fredbear's Family Diner chains as well as a Prototype Endoskeleton and a Scrapped Mouse character that looked very similar to a rat animatronic appearing around the 70's. The rat character was a mascot suit stuffed onto an endoskeleton. This place closed down after The Prototype went crazy. It's said that an animatronic version of the mouse mascot suit and The Prototype come from a bunker, but no one has ever found this bunker, and FunFrights Inc said they found it at an old Fazbear Entertainment Storage facility.

The final one I am going to talk about is a place simply called "FredFear's". It was a very small horror attraction opened up after Fazbear's Fright burnt to the ground, in fact it opened up the same year. It was a location down in Ohio that had a poorly made Freddy suit named "FredFear". It was the weirdest location ever and supposedly got a second location with very little info. No one knows anything about the second location or the first, other than it existed. Supposedly one patron went to the location when it opened and said that FredFear just walked around and said "Boo" in a robotic voice, almost akin to Microsoft Sam but not being quite like Microsoft Sam. Another patron had a similar experience, interviews with her stated that "it sounded like a TikTok text to speech voice" before walking away and leaving somewhere else. A night guard was hired but no one has heard from that guy since FredFear's. Some people don't believe FredFear's exists but it's a real location, made by real people. In Ohio. The FredFear animatronic itself hasn't been seen since the mythical second location.

alr security breach with a reader who's fast and knows everything about the pizzaplex because I studied the pizzaplex outta ✨lore✨

Much like the speedruns but this reader is running around and doing some glitches to troll

✧ FNAF: SECURITY BREACH

✧ feat. Freddy, Chica, Monty, Roxy, Sun, Moon

warnings : None

note : Unfortunately, real life people can't glitch so instead the reader is glitching electronics to get into places one normally shouldn't be able to. Anyway, the reader is put into Gregory's shoes for this and is basically speedrunning it.

✧ GLAMROCK FREDDY

He's.. kind of relieved, actually. He knows the map is confusing, and since you know the area so well, he has trust that you'll do better than someone who doesn't know the area. He is confused about how you get into places without a proper security pass, but at least you don't have to be in a lot of danger by going into places like the security officers!

✧ GLAMROCK CHICA

Oh, oh! You would be wonderful at her maze game, with how good you're doing with the map. She herself has a very good navigation skills, and she's oddly eager to see who knows the place better. She's strangely friendly with you. Though she does wonder how she never notices you going to the security offices, but still passing into closed areas..

✧ ROXANNE WOLF

What in the world?? Part of why Roxy was given her special eyes is because she's horrible with directions, despite having a built in map. She thinks you're somehow like Chica, in that sense. She does find you annoying though. Seriously, why do you insist on being so slippery all the damn time?

✧ MONTGOMERY GATOR

Doesn't even really notice what you're doing. He's too busy trying to catch you, jumping around as you find some weird escape he never even knew excited– Oh wait, this is actually sort of fun. Monty gets a thrill from the chase, so he's very excited, almost like a dog, when you're able to perfectly run away from him. It leaves him a challenge, and he loves challenges.

✧ SUNDROP

Oh, another friend— Where did they go!? He is very confused over how easily you get away from him, and how well you know the playground. Sometimes, he's still confused over the layout of his own daycare, you handle it so easily. But he makes it a game to find you, and for you to find him. You're so fast, so let's see exactly how fast? He does have a built in timer, after all.

✧ MOONDROP

He doesn't like how easily you avoid him. He's used to being better at navigating the Pizzaplex compared to the others. But he is observant, and he can easily tell where you go to escape. He tries to copy what you do, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But the better you are, the better he is. He does have some affection for you, influenced by Sun who thinks you're very charming.

REVERSAL OF THE HEART.

PAIRING;; Toji Fushiguro/reader

TAGS/WARNINGS;; afab!reader, angst, slow-burn, guilt

WC;; 1k+

SUMMARY;; Toji struggles to move on in his second marriage.

NOTES;; This is inspired by the way Pomegranates and Death has been written by @suna-reversed It is a beautifully written piece of work, along with their other writings, of course. Also I’m listening to an FNAF playlist while writing this???? Um???? So kudos to The Living Tombstone for uh…playing a key role?

Layout

PART ONE.

Daffodils; New Beginnings

Toji Fushiguro was still grieving on the day of your wedding night. Seeing your cheerful expression slightly dim as he saw the picture of the Fushiguro family: Toji, Megumi and her. He knew it was not your fault, it lay more within him for trying to replace the void in his heart with another woman who seemed to harbor some amount of affection for him. Stupid, he called himself, for he could have married a rich heiress without any strings attached, he knew how far his looks carried and he only needed somebody who could take care of his son after he was gone. Yet, your simple and honest actions gravitated him closer to you, as part of him ached for the way his first wife saw him.

He knew it was pointless, trying to find her in you. His feelings for you were like a discordant melody, as he struggled to map every part of your face in fear that you would leave the same way that she did, and the hatred he felt; how dare you replace her? How could you possibly replace her?

And guilt. How did he possibly think this was going to work? His eyes glancing towards wedding rings he found in jewelry stores before his gaze returned to the band over his finger, neglected and alone. He knew all this was merely a selfish act to satisfy his own numbness, and partially to concede to the demands of the Zenins, who he had finally returned to, though not for long.

The prodigal son. Not that his parents had been waiting for him to return or anything. They had long passed since he had turned 20. Nobody was truly waiting for him back at the Zenin estate, except for perhaps his cousin Naoya Zenin, who was now in his late teens, cocky and arrogant as ever, but seemed to be curious about him. The twins mercifully paid little attention to him.

Not that he cared. Toji was drowning too deep in his miserable state to care. He dimly registered your presence, light and frail amongst the suffocating atmosphere of the Zenin estate, ignoring the stares of the clan members in order to focus on his wellbeing. You would call out his name softly, and would rarely get a verbal reply. Slowly the one sided conversations reduced to nothing, and you settled for being beside him for the time being, waiting.

Hyacinth; Loneliness

Sometimes you catch Toji glaring at you. Sometimes he does too, watching your expression slowly, but surely wilt as you notice. Your head weighed down by the weight of rejection, confusion clear in your eyes: What had you done to deserve this?

You sleep in different rooms.

It should not come across as a surprise, but it certainly did to the other clan members. You felt slightly bitter about it, for you thought it seemed rather obvious from the way Toji moved forward, you trailing behind him, a quiet presence which Toji occasionally paid attention to. Perhaps they knew, and just felt pleasure in rubbing salt in the wounds. Toji mainly ignored the older clan members, indulging in his cousins’ questions with curt, clipped answers. You lingered beside him, in case the questions were intrusive, or personal. Luckily, they were not regarding you or Toji’s first wife, mostly questions about Toji’s work, and how Megumi was doing.

Oh.

Poor Megumi. Megumi who demanded to see his mother. Megumi who threw tantrums when you tended to him, saying that it was not the same. Megumi who accused you of stealing his dad and taking away his mother.

Toji said nothing to comfort him. He remained in his detached, dazed state, paying little attention to his son.

Camellia; Longing

“My wife. Where is she?” Toji demanded coldly, glaring at the rest of the clan members. Naobito stared at him, before his expression relaxed into the usual, unamused one.

“Your wife?” He sneered mockingly. “As if we would care to know which whore you picked up before you arrived at the Zenin estate.”

“Fushiguro-san.” Toji turned to see you soundlessly walking across the hallway towards you. Your gentle smiles had slowly wilted over time, leaving you with a solemn expression with hints of concern towards his frigid demeanor. He almost laughs. Wife? The woman did not even refer to him by his name.

“We are leaving. Wake Megumi up.” He tells you, and you gently nod. You had not heard Nabito’s words, but you did notice Naoya’s gaze. He seemed to think you had, and seemed to be daring you to say anything out of line.

“Good evening, Naoya-san.” Is your only answer to that. As you respectfully bow in front of him, greeting the other members in the same manner. They appear to be confused, and do not say anything in reply, some of the members giving you a quiet nod as affirmation. You turn around and leave, hearing Toji’s heavy footsteps move past you towards a different room in the house. His expression was unreadable, but you hope that you have not fallen out of his favor.

“Are you angry at me?” His wife asks. Toji does not reply, instead focusing more on packing their things. The question still remained in the air, her voice uncharacteristically loud amongst the heavy silence. His son did not protest much, seemingly immune to his quiet anger radiating throughout the room. However, what he did do was get up, wordlessly leaving the toys which he had gathered into a pile, and quietly make his way towards her.

“…” Megumi did not consider her to be his new mother yet. He still did think that the woman had stolen his real family away, taken away the days of peace and happiness. But nobody offered any comfort which the boy needed; the clan members who were family he knew little about, a family of abusers who had ruined Toji’s life and only sought after his son because of his Cursed Energy. He did not approach Toji, who seemed far too huge and intimidating and angry.

He did not know what to call her, so he only extended his arms, looking up at her, hoping that she would understand.

And she did. Toji saw you place the folds of clothes inside one of the suitcases before your attention swiveled to Megumi. Truth was, that you had been waiting for this. Waiting for the boy to reach out to you. You offer him a faint smile, and Megumi visibly relaxes, before he lets you pick him up, cradle him to your chest, kissing his forehead. Toji watched, as you took his son in your lap, like he was your own, and continue to pack.

His son was already starting to move on, while all he could do was watch.
