WHAT IS MEMENTO MORI ABOUT?

Memento Mori goes into themes of neurodivergency, loneliness, and the intersection between them as a major thing and arguably the most important underlying plot line underneath your typical FNAF SB plot. At the very least it's important to me.

It takes place in the year 2031, with the PizzaPlex having opened in 2025, two years after a canon-divergent FFPS. It's connected to my currently very under construction humanized FNAF1-FFPS AU, All Those Nights.

It starts off when Vanna, a woman who is tired of being nobody and determined to be remembered, sets her sights on the PizzaPlex to try and cause some loud, flashy tragedy that will make her stick in people's memory. With the help of her girlfriend, Anne, who she's known since she was a child and reunited with as an adult, since Vanna faked her death in her teenage years. Anne has a hatred for people and a disillusionment with the world around her, but also holds a sense of morality she tries to bury.

Vanna could have had some morals, but thanks to her past with street violence, she is very desensitized to her own horrible actions and much more ready to go through with this. She has a playful, friendly demeanor that hides horrendous anger issues caused by emotional dysregulation, buried self-hatred, and a sort of spite towards a world where she never fit in.

So, the PizzaPlex.

Through the course of six months, Vanna and Anne hack the Glamrocks one by one, and kill several people to try and fulfill Vanna's goal.

The events of FNAF SB proper follow primarily Glam as the protagonist, with Vivianne as a sort of second POV, as they try to survive, figure out what's happening, and save everyone, while also trying to find Vivianne's sister, who got stuck here with her.

There's also some side plots! Such as...

-Gala, Monty and Roxy slowly coming to realize that what's going on here isn't what they're being led to believe, only to be fully stripped of their free will to ensure they stay in line, something that happened to Melody a while before the events of the plot.

-Sol's initial attempts to get back to safety when they know everything's dangerous, from which they shift focus upon running into Melody, realizing something's wrong, and trying to find a way to help him.

-Luna being a looming presence through most of these plot lines, being just... different. In reality, it's Vanna keeping things in check, while Luna's stuck in the back of his own body, spectating.

-And Vanna and Anne's attempts to get everything back on track as Vanna starts to lose her temper and speed towards her own doom.

There's some doodle comics about Memento Mori floating around my blog, I may link those later.

WHAT IS SECURITY IS IN PLACE ABOUT?

So this AU started as a "yes, and..." bit with a mutual about a FNAF SB dating sim. It's not actually super romance focused but I'm telling you this because the way the story is set up and stuff like the theming surrounding this AU's Vanny makes more sense in that context.

So, the year is 2005, owing to the timeskip between FNAF1 and FNAF3 being cut some.

The PizzaPlex, opened in 2003, has moved on from the horrors of the past. Or most people think that, anyways. Raglan, a king of coping healthily with grief, pulled a small funny move, and designed nearly all the Glamrocks after people from the past.

Astrifer is designed after Henry Emily.

Noctifer is designed after William Afton.

Taiyo and Tsuki are designed after the Puppet, and, in turn, Charlie Emily.

Sally is designed after Susie Beck.

Rox is designed after the Mangle.

Stellifer is exempt from this and an outlier in that. He probably was just bought from a different location and redesigned a bit.

Most people don't notice, or don't care enough to think too hard about it.

Valentine Lovett, the now adult younger sister of Susie Beck, isn't most people.

Valentine is a very sweet and cheerful woman who keeps up such a sickeningly pretty, lovely appearance. In actuality, she is a very disturbed individual whose life was ruined by her sister's death, as her parents couldn't cope with it and traumatized her even further by projecting Susie on her.

Valentine is someone incredibly obsessive and who struggles to come to terms with reality, and she sees the Glamrocks as a revival of people who should have stayed dead. So she's decided she's gonna be the one to make them truly gone. She's also a terrifyingly skilled stalker.

The story is divided into several "routes", with highly differing story lines. However, each character has their route jointed with another, and while the character you pick will mostly be the focus, the events will follow a roughly similar progression for both of those characters.

So, routes:

NIGHT GUARD: Astrifer - Nessa (Hacked: Noctifer, Tsuki)

STAGE CREW: Noctifer - Stellifer (Hacked: The opposite of who you pick. If you pick Noctifer, Stellifer will get hacked, and viceversa)

KITCHEN: Sally - Rox (Hacked: Rox)

DAYCARE: Tsuki - Taiyo (Hacked: Tsuki)

HEARTBREAKER: Valentine (Hacked: Noctifer, Tsuki, Rox, Stellifer, Sally)

ABOUT THE HEARTBREAKER ROUTE...

It is possible to choose Valentine within the story of SiiP. A sort of New Game+ possibility where Bernadette has the chance to meet Valentine early and bond with her first.

This isn't an "I can fix her" story path, however, it's a "She will make you worse" one.

Bernadette is someone who would very much do anything for a person they care about. At the beginning here, when they heard of Valentine's motivations, they thought she had a bit of a point.

So, they decided to help her.

I typically dub this story path's Bernadette either Darling or Heartbreaker, and the story follows their plunge into a full-on corruption arc that lands them as a true, full villain by the end of it, perhaps to an even greater degree than Valentine.

They carefully work their way into ensuring they don't get attached to anyone other than Valentine, manipulate the characters they normally would have bonded with and make them believe they're their friend, ready, at any time needed, to betray each and every one of them for their own gain.

Darling started out not as certain of this, but slowly came to realize they enjoy the thrill of being in control, and started to become a cruel, malicious and silver-tongued person. They still love Valentine deeply, but it's hard for them to truly extend that care to anyone else.

They become the closest SiiP has to a Mimic variant, and this story path leads to SiiP's own version of Security Breach within lore, which would be a lot more focused on mind games and the fear of not knowing who or what you can trust.

There's a Ruin DLC side AU spanning off of it too, but that's in the works.

BOB AU Teaser!

What was more dangerous?

The world or the people that resided in it?

Mars would have to say the world, with it's harsh weather and wild animals there was nothing that really scared her more.

The two girls, no matter how unalike they were, never planned for the end of the world. Marleen Finch and Samantha Jackson must navigate a treacherous world filled with danger and uncertainty.

But amidst the mayhem and peril, they find unexpected hope reminding them of the beauty of life even in the face of certain death.

Have you ever wondered where are all the BOB AU's?

Comic test. Something about forgiveness, and making the wrong choice because you were trying to do the right thing. Transcript because some of the pages are hard to read on purpose Page 1 "Luna": So? Are you finally here to make amends? Glam: ...What? "Luna": Cut the bullshit. Page 2 "Luna": I really could hate you, Freddy. "Luna": But I'm willing to forgive everything... "Luna": If you'll just come with me! Page 3 "Luna": You've made the right choice, Freddy. I'm glad. Glam: You don't usually just call me "Freddy"... "Luna": You don't usually call me anything other than Moondrop. Glam: Right. I'm sorry. "Luna": It's okay. "Luna": You'll be forgiven soon.

(Does this count as Memento Mori spoilers? I haven't decided if it'll be fully canon yet, to be honest.)

Memento Mori AU

Jax HCs

Another post of my head canon drabbles of my boy, Jax, this time with my Greek AU or also called Memento Mori. Cause yea, brain’s been rotting over Thief!Jax in this au for awhile today. (Also some mentions of Tune’s oc, Rio.)

Jax still finds a hard time believing that a god of the greek pantheon, let alone Death was interested in the male. Sometimes he’d be sitting there for hours with a bottle of alcohol at his side, and having such difficulties wrapping his head around it. In the end, it is what it is and Jax’s not hallucinating.

Jax is extremely fond of Death!Rio’s wings and has the urge to touch them sometimes but he restrains himself from following said intrusive thoughts, because he’d assume a small request would be disrespectful to ask from a higher being such as the god of death.

After Jax died and was sent to the underworld, Sparrow now enjoys his time in the realm of the dead by exploring the grand corridors of the palace or the city in the underworld, sometimes taking a stroll out in the woods or the dead fields to keep himself busy and entertained when Rio’s not home.

Jax still has whatever precious valuables of his in the underworld when he died, his friends buried him amongst Sparrow’s treasures he’s collected over the years allowing him to take them all with him as offerings or gifts from the boys.

Sparrow’s created the habit of stashing all his precious golden valuables into a stone crypt he has kept in Rio’s room, when Death’s not around and leaves Jax to his own devices, he sometimes pops open the stone crypt to lie around in his gold. Strangely he finds it comfy in there so Rio sometimes comes back home to finding Jax passed out whilst buried in his riches.

Sparrow is a fucking shorty in Death’s eyes.

Gods or Goddesses are fucking tall because they’re considered as higher beings and their height tends to range from 8’0” or higher than that, Death’s height overwhelms the Sparrow sometimes whenever Rio is relentlessly teasing the mortal and he sometimes feels a tiny bit giddy when Rio picks him up.

Guitars were never invented as an instrument in this time period so Jax learned how to play the pan flute and usually plays whatever tunes when he’s out chilling in the grassy fields outside of the city of the dead.

Jax likes to fall asleep in Rio’s arms with his wings wrapped around the Sparrow’s small frame, it gives a sense of safety for the former thief and Death just feels oddly the warmest thing he’s touched.

The dead of the underworld don’t know that they’re dead, they believe themselves to still be alive so they continue roaming the city and other places in this dark realm. Strangely, they crave and are attracted to the warmth belonging to the living. Whenever a living soul travels down into the underworld, the dead would be swarming that person. In this case Jax has the same mannerisms like all the dead people of the underworld. To the living, Death’s touch would be cold, but to the dead, Jax is almost attracted to him like a moth to a flame. Ever since he died Sparrow was just craving for Rio’s warmth whenever he came home and would immediately go to hug the deity and nuzzle his face in Death’s robes to bask in his body heat.

Sometimes Jax happens to somehow find a warm spot on the floor whenever he’s out wandering the corridors of the dark palace and would lay down on the floor to curl up on that warm spot, there’s some chances where he’d unexpectedly pass out in that spot.

When Rio offered the dead mortal his first taste of the sweet nectar of the gods, Sparrow was immediately hooked and got absolutely wasted within one or two cups. Rio’s had the treat of seeing Jax acting all dramatic and silly whilst drunk that day.

I dont think i have ever really went too in depth about my au- but the Memento Mori au is heavily inspired by The Looking Glass Wars written by Frank Beddor, Little Nightmares (mostly in the abstracted characters design), Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland, and the Saw movies! It leans heavily into dark fantasy tropes and is heavily dependent on its themes of tragedy and loss! I haven't had much time to focus on writing, but im still drawing stuff for it!

As an apology for my inactivity, I have this wip design of gangle from my au!
