Dave has found an "alternative way to make money," but for some reason Jack isn't too happy about it.

Albus: "Jeanie... are you really trying to work on Christmas?"
Jeanie: *nervous giggle* "N-no, of course not! I just--wanted to know if anyone was hungry!"
Phil: "Give it a rest, Al. Old habits and all that."

What do you think of the headcannon I see a lot that Vanny/Vanessa is an Afton? Like Micheal or Williams daughter or something like that
its good if its done well but i'm not really into it. kinda like how in the movie that although vanessa is an afton, mike isn't. i just can't picture those two being related lol. but also there's something about how freddy's— as a franchise, as some long persisting horror story— keeps drawing other people in. willingly or not.
#ask#fnaf#oh i love getting asks its fun. feel free to send more hehe#but yeah 'vanessa afton' can be good but i don't vibe w it that much#to me the aftons are like. an urban myth or something. a sidestory to the freddy franchise buried amidst the more eye catching murders#even though we the fans know the insane stuff that actually went down#those truly dedicated may connect dots but will never get the full picture#and this whole mystery is what keep drawing in people. the new victims to be added to its bloody legacy#got a lil too dramatic but yeah. that's it for me

The final stage
This turn of events is not canon! I'm more than sure that at this rate, Jack will ruin his eyesight. And… he'll need glasses… you know. Poor Dave seems to have a PTSD attack.

So, we finally got a trailer for the new FNAF game- Secret of The Mimic- around a week ago, and I've seen quite a lot of people hating on it. And for unfair reasons at that.
A lot of people have been saying that it doesn't feel like FNAF, and that it can't be called a FNAF game if Freddy isn't there. But that's just plain wrong.
FNAF was never about Freddy. It was never about any of the animatronics. At its core, FNAF was about the tragedies William Afton commited and how it affected everybody. It was about the Afton family.
And now? It still is. William Afton might be gone, yes, but his impact is not. The Mimic acted as him, and wanted to continue his legacy. Even though William is gone, his heinous acts will continue.
There are still so many loose ends surrounding the Afton family, and I think that Secret of The Mimic will give us some answers. It'll give us a look into the past, further than ever before. We will be in a time before any of the murders most likely.
Secret of The Mimic will give us answers. It'll clear things up. And maybe it means that we'll find get a better timeline for the deaths and the restaurants.
Either way, I have a feeling that Secret of The Mimic will end up being very important. And it'll still be a true FNAF game, people just misunderstand what a FNAF game is. We'll still be getting hunted by (an) animatronic(s), we just aren't stuck in an office. Then again, that also wasn't the case in Sister Location.
And maybe Freddy isn't there, but he doesn't need to be. Like how The Legend Of Zelda isn't really about Zelda, FNAF isn't about Freddy.
(And this is without mentioning how similar Edwin is to both William and Henry in a way. But that's for another time... if you guys are interested...)

Controversial take but. Fnaf is the closest we have gotten to 2010s/2020s equvalient of Bionicle. Yes, even more than Hero Factory, Ninjago, Chima, Lego Monkie Kid, Rebel Nature, Greg Farshtey's "Legacy", Xenoblade Chronicles, that one indie adventure game inspired by Bionicle, Ascending Depths and all those Afterman spiritual successors Bionicle fans have tried to make in the past few years. Yes, even more than those obscure cult classic JRPGs I have compared Bionicle to in the past.
Because Bionicle and Fnaf both:
Started relatively simple with a strongly effective unique premise at the center before gradually expanding into a sprawling narrative
Caught the audiences attention by presenting a captivating mystery from the get go that drove curiosity and intrigue
Because of the above, the community is heavily based on theorycrafting and speculation, with many fans trying to figure out the mystery of the story.
Are surprisingly storydriven in mediums/genres generally not associated with stories
Became popular overnight, creating a sort of cultural zeitgeist
Were a last-ditch effort by their creators who at time were struggling financically (Bioncle was released at the height of Legos dark/dork era, while Fnaf was Scott Cawthons last attempt at making a game before opting out of the industry)
Have (one of) their creator be relatively actively engaged with the community, interacting with the fans much to their fans amusement and frustration.
Pretty much were among the fiction that popularized the "lore" as a concept.
Get retconned and coursecorrected to hell and back, but not to the extent fans may think.
Experienced gradual tonal and genre-shift from one genre with scifi elements to more full on scifi.
As years went on, the unique appeal of the series (tropical island high fantasy for Bionicle, horror for Fnaf) were diluted because of aforementioned genre-shift to the point some people hate the later era and vastly prefer the earlier years.
In addition the mystery elements were diluted either answering everything or by complicating the story.
Heavily rely their storytelling on supplemental material on their later years, especially books.
Cryptic and vague at times to the point of frustrating
Have a main villain whose portrayal changed from simple to more complicated mastermind. Both main villains also had initially their name hidden, before their true name was revealed later on.
In spite of having its appeal be in its robot-characters, plotdriven instead of character driven
Also gradually drove away from the characters center of the appeal (Toa/the main four animatronics) to those who were involved in the origins of the story.
Had a satisfying ending (Journeys End/Pizza Sim), but still continued past that, including elements that the fans hate.
These post ending content had the main antagonist be a deeply lore-important impersonator who made the lore more complicated than it should be (Velika/Mimic)
Have a pseudo soft reboot people have...very mixed to negative feelings on (Bara Magna for Bionicle, Steel Wool era for Fnaf)
Have a fictional element act as a central mcguffin of the story (Protodermis and Remnant/Agony respectively) which is frustratingly vague and poorly explained.
Have a rather dedicated transformative fandom who make new additions to the larger mythos, or expand on the pre-existing lore. The creators actively support this, and have even endorsed fancreations or made some fan-elements official.
The creators simutaneously plan everything ahead and are a hack. At the same time
There are probably more but those are the ones I think of at the top of my head

Lowkey been really fucking obsessed with the Fazbear Toddler Fun analog horror series for days now and I hate it cause it is utterly phenomenal in ways that just look goofy af to anyone who isn't incredibly in tune both with authentic recreation of niche video game visual tropes and the narrative significance of the Five Night's at Fredsy's chronology.
The final sequence of the last episode has unparalleled levels of attention to detail in replicating every ounce of old edutainment game tomfoolery, and to top it off it does not even stumble for a second in using that to tear the game's in-universe existence and the protagonist apart.
Cause its not just the period accuracy of IRL video games but the timeline of in-universe Freddy's locations and rebrands. Like it's actually a choice that the characters are based around the FNAF2 location cast, just with Foxy as well likely cause he was so iconic and The Mangle (adorably adapted as "Funtime", Foxy's little sister) wouldn't cut it. You can actually assume this is a late 90s game in context of being after the brands peak in the 80s, or honestly if you're weird like me you always got a very 90s vibe from the Toy Animatronics and assume this game was in tandem with THAT rebrand. OK OK BUT EIRHER WAY. The game as a vapid attempt at a rebrand borrows its cues from the most dramatic and vapid canon rebrand, and it makes every call back to the original tragedy sting so much more.
FNAF2's location has always been one of the furthest away from the Bite of '83 and original MCI, with the FNAF1 location existing more directly in its shadow cause it's where the story was first told even if it's ironically furthest from it. The sort of grunge and shoddiness that defines the atmosphere of the other tragedies is not present there, and its abysmally short run (canonically was only open for weeks as every other returant was assumedly for years) gives it a certain innocence and purity to it. The Toy Animatronics did not have the time to accumulate that physical and metaphorical rot which pervades the brand through the felt animatronics. They were literally retired and revived to carry the legacy of that pain, but the Toys were a genuine - and short-lived - attempt to almost fully separate.
But this all to fucking say - when the ghost of the crying child uses the games stupid little movie maker to tell the story of his death, and when he snaps the misshapen model of Fredbear atop the shiny new Toy Freddy on that stage... it's fr. It's so fr. It's so "how dare you think you can escape..." how dare you think you can run from that past while tracking prints - while not truly letting go.
It gets SO WELL at that angle of corporate whitewashing and greed that is the ONE THEME in FNAF, to the point I can (almost) forgive it for its demonization if Michael. Because he ties into it to. Oh you think it's just cute and a little messed up that they tried to overwrite the tragedy of my death? You think it's just a spooky little game to come back here, to this complete mockery and erasure of my pain? The way that you said you were sorry but I knew you never were? Like fucking christ man.
The magic of obtuse storytelling methods is how they can thread together odd symbolism and ideas into a story in a way something straightforward cannot. Stories of haunting are fascinating because it allows for the expression of harsh and terrible emotions through manipulation of symbols, and I love when internet horror takes that to the umpteenth level in the found footage/found game subgenre by twisting those symbols of the truly light and unassuming in media even when it's goofy af.
When you're dealing with death of children at a bootleg Chuck E Cheese you're most realistically going to get a Chuck E Cheese style haunting, but the point is to embrace that. Find the perversity of something that is supposed to be so light and childish being forced to bare a heavy, meaningful pain. For a model of a crusty dancing bear in a CG point and click game to be the most chilling graphic imaginable.

Is In Loving Memory related to Freddy & Friends?
I've actually been getting asked this question a lot ever since I announced the In Loving Memory series. I wasn't going to say anything until Volume 1 released to keep it a surprise, but I'm now coming to the realization that might not be the greatest idea. So instead of keeping this question in the dark until the entirety of Volume 1 is finished, I'm gonna provide clarification on the subject now:
They're not just related. In Loving Memory IS the new Freddy & Friends.
--------------------------------------
Click "Keep reading" for the full details, and what's gonna happen to the Freddy & Friends Tumblr.
--------------------------------------
However, they USED to be two separate AUs...
When I was first creating the idea for In Loving Memory, I made the decision to cross over the Freddy & Friends lore into it in order to make the worldbuilding easier on myself. The functionality of the animatronics, the functions of the pizzeria, among other things. The only things that were really different were the characters and overarching story.
But as I kept on writing it, I realized that doing both In Loving Memory and Freddy & Friends would be really confusing with so much overlapping lore. It would be pointless to do both, since what I planned to release video-wise for F&F wasn't too different from what I wanted to do with ILM.
Additionally, I've been working on Freddy & Friends since I was 11 years-old. The idea of that AU is almost ten years old. And ever since then, the story has gone through many, many, MANY changes. But with all the things that I wanted to incorporate (one such complication being Sister Location existing on the timeline), there were only so many stories I could tell without the timeline becoming crowded. Frankly, the whole thing was quite the cluster-fuck with so many plot holes and character motives that I just couldn't make sense of. Too many hard questions for the writer (me) to find an answer to. Ultimately, what I had feared came to pass: I had done the same thing that Scott did, just with better writing and just as much confusion.
When I started on ILM, I realized that I liked that story MUCH better.
It has a distinct beginning, middle, and end. Without the plot of the games past FNAF 4, it was a much simpler story with better characterization and a clearer plot. And, unlike F&F, I had a clear direction with how I wanted to present it.
And so, with a heavy heart, I reworked F&F into the new AU that I was making. Afterwards, I was led into calling it "In Loving Memory", named after the title sequence theme I had composed for F&F. ;)
The Freddy & Friends label isn't dead, however. Freddy & Friends is canonically a side story that happens within the In Loving Memory AU, and will have more of a focus on the spirits of the children within the animatronics, as opposed to the rest of the series, which is focused on Mike. As of right now, I'm not sure what format that story would be told in. I just know that the events themselves are canon.
So essentially, yes. Freddy & Friends as it once was is technically cancelled. However, I don't like to think about it like that. I like to think that, after almost a decade of residing in my head, we are FINALLY working on the first episode of Freddy & Friends.
Only now, it's going under a different tile. =)
But wait, what's gonna happen to the Freddy & Friends Tumblr?
In all likelihood, I'm going to archive it. I feel like I've released too much content on there and allowed people to delve too deep into that story to simply convert it into the ILM Tumblr.
However, best case scenario, I'm going to rebrand it under a label called Freddy & Friends: Legacy, which is an archive of all the scrapped and unused content of the F&F AU prior to the current draft. There, I can stop being so secretive about its story and lore and give y'all the whole scoop of what I had originally intended. =)
As for the In Loving Memory Tumblr, I'm not sure how much I'm going to carry over. I'm not sure if I'll still have Henry answer questions over on there (I'm characterizing him a little differently). I also styled the original Tumblr to act as a forum that would have existed in the real world. That doesn't really feel right to carry over into In Loving Memory as a Tumblr page, but if you guys really want it, I can probably work something out along those lines.
I hope this clears up any confusion you had on where the series stands
