*Breaks down the door with my foot. Cue me throwing on a pair of shades and sliding right into your blog.*

*Pointing, while screaming at the top of my lungs*

WHAT ‼️

IS ‼️

UP ‼️

NAFFECLIPSE ECLIPSED GANG ‼️‼️‼️

The chronically online Instagram user…/hj

The one who makes those meme comps…

FANDOM has finally arrived to TUMBLR 😎😎😎

Party rocking in the house tonight frfr. Someone start the celebratory music STAT ‼️

Now after waiting since 2021 I shall lurk and invade, making my way, my presence known in the DCA Tumblr community. I have been perceiving Naff for the longest time since bUT I shall not stop there.

I shall go around and appreciate more of my favorite creators from this community and you shall NOT ‼️

I repeat. Shall NOT ‼️ Stop me in my silly quest. Or with my silly commentary.

>:)

Now Naff.

:)

<3333

Lovely lovely Naff you.

I can make my silly comments known to you properly about your lovely fics and AU ideas 🙌

I have been perceiving your blog since my dear friend who helped me create those posts told me that you had one. I’ve been around since your MerMay oneshots. I have been here, when the Sleuth Jesters series was new and I’ve been loving. LOVING. Your work since then

You’re an excellent writer! I love your writing style so much, you put so much life and care into the characters you write. I can close my eyes and daydream about what they look like, what they’re doing, like I’m watching a movie about them.

Sleuth Jesters series? Smh. That is mentally a Netflix TV series in my head with bonus features behind the scenes 🫣

Cryptid Sightings series? Meep’s design of the boys pops up in my brain, and it’s in full 3D playing on the big movie cinema screen in my brain. Popcorn and everything 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

All of your other fics too work the same way, I can genuinely imagine them getting an adaptation of sorts/srs

Naff the Eclipsed Squared you are truly goated.

Every time you write something, I go unhinged. I devour on all of the words like multiple Mukbangs back to back. I blend them like a nice milkshake to drink. Idc how many words there are Naff. I feast well on reading whatever is provided anyways >:0

Now farewell…Eclipsed gang. Farewell MB!Clip simps and everyone alike. I shall continue now in my goofy ahhh appreciation for my fav content creators in this community.

Naff I am throwing flowers, coins, chocolates, hearts at your doorstep and whatever else you will enjoy. Take it all.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💗💗💗💗💗💗‼️‼️‼️

*Now cue me running out of your broken down door.*

*I shall perceive Bean next mwahahaha*

AHHHH HI HELLO I'M MELTING!!! YOU'RE SO SWEET EEEEEEEEEE!!!! You're here, Fandom! You're so sweet and I'm melting at every word, ahhh! Welcome to Tumblr!!!

[mintchocolateteacats]

I have had so much fun this MerMay finding new and beautiful DCA mermaid fanfiction. (Shout out to "What the tide Keeps" by Cipher_the_Sidhe. "Sub Celestial" by RandomDoodlesIDK two more delightful fics I found for the 1st time this MerMay 2024.

I would love to hear any new DCA mermaid fic gems you have found if anyone was interested in sharing 🙂

Also, does anyone know of a DCA mermaid fic featuring Sun/Moon as one entity that switches due to something (light, time of day, depth etc)? I have read sooo many lovely ones, but haven't stumbled across this yet

Edit: omg I found one!!! A Flood Tide of Sunshine and Stars by NaffEclipse. An excellent one shot that has sun and moon being the same sentient aquatic mer and changing/swapping based on external/environmental triggers.

[celticwolfie]

Welcome in!

Hey there! I might as well make something to let you all know a few more things about me and my blog here in this little post. At least I hope it won’t be too long of a post. Anyway, you can call me Celtic, Cel, Wolfie or Woofs.  I really don’t mind. I am a writer and I occasionally draw. The creative things I do would be in the #celtic writes and #Celtic draws Tags respectively. Also, please don’t be afraid to send in any asks or anything! I love hearing from people! I just am a bit awkward. 

Current hyperfixation: The DCA fandom (FNAF Security Breach) 

My current writings: 

Crimson Skies

Summary:  “Sun and Moon has hunted someone who is more fight than flight. Little do they know that this small turn of events initiated a bigger chain of events to happen.“

Info on the fic: My personal Vampire AU fic with a bit lot of fantasy twists in it. Even though the fic focuses mostly on the reader’s interactions with Sun and Moon, you will meet the rest of the cast sometime in the fic.  Tags related to the fic/au: #Crimson Skies

Solstice

Summary: “ You were young when the Pizzaplex was starting with their construction. Now that you've grown up, gone to college and been through a couple of hoops from things out of your own control, including a severe accident, and you've landed neck deep in financial issues. Stumbling blindly as you go, you've decided to move back home and try at least to apply as a mechanic for The Pizzaplex. Please mind the tags. serious topics will be brought up in later chapters, I'll try to warn ahead of time. ” 

Info on the fic: After a life changing accident the reader (Y/N) applies and gets the job at the Pizza Plex. They now work as a mechanic and general technician for the Pizza Plex. However, they have new issues that arise when they start their job there. The reader is an amputee with prosthetics. With the miracle of robotics and the fact that technology has advanced so far, the reader has a robotic arm. Just like in the summary mentions, there are serious topics that will be brought up as the fic goes on. The reader has their own issues, while also trying to help the animatronics around them.  Tags related to the fic/au: #Solstice

To Be Hunted Summary: “ You are a lone werewolf that had been accepted in to this small farming community. Everything was fine and peaceful until a vampire rolls in. After taking care of the threat, two hunters are called in. Now you need to balance finding out what vampires want and trying to keep the hunters at a distance. The questions is, are you going to be successful?” Info on the fic: Careful with the tags. There is descriptions of violence and minor character deaths. Sun and Moon are more likely going to appear in chapter two after to being called to take care of the situation in the town. However, there is a much bigger plot that is about to happen if the reader (y/n) isn’t able to put a stop to it.  Tags related to the fic/au: #To Be Hunted, #Hunter au  Growing Pains Summary: “ It was going to be a normal fishing trip. Just a normal hike to the secluded river beach and maybe relax while listening to the forest waking up around you. However, that isn't how things go for you and now you managed to gain the attention of a legendary creature. Now everything seems to be turned on its head. Hopefully, you can adapt to it quickly enough and help these living legends out as their world is starting to shrink around them.” Info on the fic: My merMay fic that went a bit longer than I expected. Sun and Moon are based off lake sturgeons that have seasonal migrating patterns. There is more to them than that though and the reader is in the middle of more than just a new world being introduced to them.  Tags related to the fic/au: #Growing Pains, #merfic, #fishyfic Lion Au (Also know as the Lion King Au) Information of the AU: Sun and Moon were raised in a pride along with the rest of their family, a few are ocs to make the au work. Everything was fine until a larger rival pride invaded their home land, challenged their oldest brother for not only the land but the rest of their pride members. To keep everyone safe, Eclipse left the pride. After the quality of life for the celestial pride started to decline a year after, Sun and Moon left. Moving to a more Nomadic nature as the seasons change and flood their dry season den. But things don’t stay the same as the receive word that their other brothers are still alive in a different land. Tags related to the AU: #lion au #lion king au, #lion Sun, #lion Moon.

Just to let you all know! I love receiving questions about my fics and in general. So feel free and ask a few questions! I also do post crumbs every now and then under the tag #crumbs so it is easier for you all to see them. 

Also I hope you all are having a lovely day! ^-^

[bam-stroker]

I loved your chapter of Mermay for DCA! Loved how attentive Moon was for Sun and how YN just came to accepting both Mers as caring creatures towards each other to where they started interacting (one sided maybe) but for some normalcy. It's sweet that they were so affectionate when reunited. I loved all of it! Thank you for sharing your work! I hope creativity and inspiration stay by your side ❤️

:')

Thank you so much!! I really enjoyed getting to write the things I would find endearing. Also I was like hmm I don't want them to be clown fish but… mayhaps they have little clown horn honks of love instead

[luckyyyduckyyy]

Oooh! A BATIM AU sounds like it could be a fun time!

I haven't been keeping up with ask blogs for a longgg time, (Undertale had me in a chokehold in middle school - I'm in college now lmao) so I can't be much help with that aspect, butttt what I'll put here will be from what I've personally observed from the DCA fandom itself, and from a writer and artist perspective. :)

Hope this will be some help! It's alright if ya don't take all that I suggest, they're all just my opinions in the end - Your AU can be made and handled however you'd like!

Memorable/unique design:

I know not all ask blogs use visuals to answer asks, but having at least a character reference sheet Pinned or easily accessible will get people more interested in the characters they're interacting with.

Especially since this is an AU, something that'll make Sun and Moon stand out from cannon and look separate from each other will get people interested! Looking at characters from BATIM they're usually dressed pretty simply, with their shape language doing most of the talking while the clothes/accessories imply their role.

So, if you want to do a simple design, you have a lottt of free wiggle room! A lot of people do tend to enjoy complicated designs too, and if you want to do one you totally have room to as well - just remember to have a focal point in mind! (Usually it's the face, but it can be an important element of the outfit too.)

Here's some AUs that I think have successful designs if you want some inspiration (Mix of simple and complicated!): GITM/Ghost In The Machine, Pluck Your Heartstrings, Harpy AU, Candy AU, Sleuth Jesters, LDR/Love Death Rollerskates, and any Mer/Mermay design honestly lol

(There are definitely many many mannnny more great designs out there, these are just off the top of my head!)

Specialized Stylization: (completely art based advice - you can skip if not relevant :) )

If you DO plan on answering asks with art/visuals, sometimes half of the appeal is just an artist's style! Don't be afraid to add your own flavor of shape language or color into it. Not only to make it your own, but to convey what kind of personalities/characters the audience is interacting with.

If you were to draw Bendy for example, maybe his small form would look round and cartoony, clean, have highlights, maybe even hints of blue in the ink black of his body. Then if you were to draw his brute/demon form, maybe the overall shape is more jagged and made of straight/scratchy lines that come to a point. The color could be pure black and dull or have hints of a red undertones. Even doing a slight background change (color, shading type, overall scene) between the two forms gives off different tones - I imagine even doing these slight differences can indirectly direct asks to point in ways you'd want them to go!

(I think it would be especially effective if you're planning on going into the horror aspect of both BATIM and FNAF. CREEPY BOIS!)

Mixed Plot Relevance:

This is more my personal tastes on crossover AUs and writing, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt!

In things like Crossovers, a reason as to why the characters are in this world and how their story has changed is a big deal. Wether it be that Sun and Moon got taken over by the ink as animatronics or that they were born from the ink can change the story and it's relevance to each other's worlds significantly. The best part about crossover AUs, in my opinion, is finding out how much of the story leans into the included franchises!

You could completely make it a BATIM world and just include the FNAF characters who would have an alternative background that spawn them from the ink machine or replace characters from BATIM. You could make it a FNAF based world and have the BATIM world bleed into it, almost like some sort of corruption. Any which way, it's a fascinating time to figure out how they'd all blend together and is certainly a good mystery for the audience. People love seeing iconic characters come up unexpectedly, or expectedly but having a postponed reveal - finding out everyone's roles in a new universe can really flesh out the world your characters live in!

You don't need a ton of characters though, even just mentioning their existence and relationships from time to time can be enough!

(Bonus points if you have special designs for them too, since more characters mean more for people to latch onto. I interact mostly with the art side of DCA Tumblr, so from that perspective, having characters for people to draw will give more chances of artists interacting :) )

Thats all I got! Hopefully you can take something away from this, and good luck with the ask blog!!! ^^

HELLO! I'm a sorta newer creator here and id like to know if anyone could give me some pointers on a AU I'm working on where Sundrop and Moondrop are in the Bendy And The Ink Machine universe! I would like to kno what could make this au more appealing and it will be a Ask blog so please if you want wanna see more of this give me a follow! Anyways thank you for your time!

7. What’s your favorite au?

oooh there are so many good oooooones. but man. i think i’m pretty basic - i LOVE just, any mermay/mermaid/siren au i come across. like i cannot get ENOUGH OF IT. it’s actually what i have a fic in the works for wbehsjdksk tho i haven’t touched it in….a HOT bit;;; been doing more art than writing ^^;;

9. What do you think of the dca’s canon appearance? Scary? Cute? Something else?

tbh first time i saw them i was like. i hate this with every fiber of my being. mostly because i somehow foRgOT that fnaf was like, you know, a horror game?????? ahdhsjsk

but now i look at them and i’m like!!! SCRUNKLY!!!!! like tbh the more i see biblically accurate sun and moon the fonder of them i am. i think i DO prefer biblically accurate sun, tho, because with no pupils his eyes look a lil bigger? poor moon’s tiny dot eyes 😔

11. be honest: if you had to pick only one, sun or moon?

hhhh;;;; listen. listen i love them both. so fuckin much. but i would pick moon;;;; like, i think i would absolutely not survive the encounter especially if it’s more like canon moon. but i’m not making this decision with logic i’m making it with my heart. and that’s my fuckin blorbo <3

12. thoughts on eclipse?

I LOVE HIM AAAAAH

so when i first got into the dca stuff, i didn’t really care about eclipse at all. i was like “oh those are some cool designs, the idea of sun n moon becoming eclipse is kinda neat” but he was just kinda. There. to me

but tHEN i found all these wonderful aus, and fics, and art, and also finally designed my own version of him for funsies, and like!!! fUCK!!! i love him so much he is just a feral little scrunkly that makes me heart flutter <3

i DO want to spend some time actually figuring out how my eclipse like, acts?? i think he’s very feral. just a little gremlin of a man. we’ll see how it goes :D

thanks so much for the asks y’all!!!! sorry it took me so long to answer them agdhsjakd i’ve been busy at work! 😭😭😭
