#he advertised as friend for kids who came to the pizzaplex with just their parents

The brain worms won tonight 😔

The more I think about the scenario where Y/N is a children’s author, the more interesting possibilities come to light. Most prominently, it provides the opportunity for a little “role reversal” in their interactions with the Daycare attendants.

A lot of times fanfic authors/artists tend to portray their Y/Ns as having at least basic knowledge of Fazbear Entertainment Industries, if not Sun and Moon specifically, but with a Y/N who is a children’s book author? There is a high probability they would already know who they are through reading their works to the kids—especially Moon, if he was using them as bedtime stories for naptime. And even if this Y/N was using a pseudonym or something, you know how there is often an author’s photo in the back of books (maybe not so much for picture books, but let’s just pretend for the sake of this scenario—or assume that Y/N has also dabbled into some longer works which would use them)? Sun and Moon would definitely be able to use that for facial recognition purposes.

So what I’m saying is—it is entirely possible for Sun, and especially Moon, since he would probably be the one doing the most reading of Y/N’s works in this scenario, to be complete fanboys of author!Y/N, and be the ones more hesitant to interact and approach, or be nervous about deeper interactions and wondering if they were coming off as “creepy,” or worrying that Y/N’s friendliness and possible flirtations were just them putting on a persona as part of their work.

Also, I just find it funny to imagine a Glitchtrap-infested Moon basically just bluescreening and snapping out of murder-mode in the face of how big of a fan he is of Y/N’s work. Even funnier is imagining that Y/N also wrote novels that weren’t so much “child focused,” so even Vanny and William Afton himself were fans of their work.

The whole plan breaks down via the power of fandom. Subsequent chases are more of the rabid fanboy variety as Moon/Vanny tries to get Y/N’s autograph.

…It does also open up the possibility for one of them to try and enact some sort of Stephen King’s Misery situation on them, but I kind of prefer the funny option more.

And I’ve also thought of a few ideas for children’s books Y/N could write as part of their commission for the Pizzaplex—the generic “all the animatronics are friends and go on adventure” stuff, sure, but also things like:

-the animatronics don’t want to listen to listen to Sun and Moon when it comes to the importance of cleaning, but soon learn its value after they can’t find Moon’s beloved hat after Freddy’s birthday party because they’ve let the house get too messy.

-Sun and Moon list the pros and cons of their preferred time of day, one of the major cons being that their sibling is not around during the day/night respectively.

-a child tells their parent about how much fun the Superstar Daycare is via detailing a typical day’s schedule (also acts as one of the more blatant forms of advertising)

-Sun teaches kids about the weather

-Moon teaches kids about basic astronomy and the phases of the moon (points out how Sun/the sun is a literal “super star”

-Moon teaches kids about basic safety/security

-Moon thinks there is an intruder in the pizzaplex, but it just turns out to be a racoon (or whatever animal is the mascot of Fazbear’s rival entertainment industry, because I’m sure they have one)

-Probably one of the books would be specifically about fire safety, in a sort of ironic nod to those endings where the pizzaplex gets caught on fire.

-also probably some sort of cutesy ghost story for a Halloween book, which also has… interesting implications considering what all has gone down at various Fazbear locations

Finally, I feel like this Y/N would totally get the chance to deck Burntrap in the face. At least once. Whether this is because third time was not the charm when it came to trying to defeat him with fire, or just as a prelude to that event.

Possibly even unrelated to Gregory, and including the “William is a fanboy” thing from above. Like… before the events of Security Breach Y/N, for some reason, gets clearance to explore the Pizzaplex—probably for inspirational purposes/they got lost trying to find the VIP lounge or something—and finds themself down in the area he is hanging out in. He wakes up, starts to go in for the kill but is stunned into a fanboy daze when he recognizes them, and Y/N’s fight or flight response mashes the “fight” button and they punch him hard enough to knock him over before they turn tail and get the heck out of dodge. William is then either too stunned to do anything other than go back into standby mode/actually got knocked down so hard he got unplugged and has to await Vanny to come rescue him and set him back up.

Maybe the punching and disconnection combined with the fanboyness actually gets his soul to literally and finally leave his body, and everyone gets freed from the virus.

Fandom literally saving the day right there.

Meanwhile Y/N pretends none of that happened, other than to possibly use the experience as inspiration fodder for a new horror story.
