#sb's face was fun to design as well

BOO PONY JUMPSCARE!!!!!

[bionicboxes]

whoo, some of the ArcadeQuest AU designs done! little story summary below:

Freddy and his Companion, a TALKI bot named Gregory, are sent on a mission to find five keys scattered across time and space to stop an ancient evil from destroying these universes. Along the way, they must help the residents of these parallel worlds defeat minions of this great evil in order to obtain the keys needed to fully defeat it.

or at least, that's what they believe. As the 'Glamrock' crew meets odd individuals that tell them of an older evil they once defeated, things start to become hazy, and reality as the believe it to be starts to fall apart. But the evil they face is all too real, and someone really does need their help. History loves to repeat, and its up to the Glamrocks, with guidance from those who experienced said history, to put a stop to it.

ArcadeQuest is based on an AU/Theory idea I had revolving the arcade machines in the game; Said theory being that like Princess Quest frees Vanny from control once completed; the Balloon World, Feeding Frenzy, and Monty Golf arcades were supposed to free their respective animatronics from the Mimic's control early in development for SB before being scrapped. To be clear, that's entirely speculation on my end, just trying to find a practical answer to their odd inclusion.

Each of the Glamrock's worlds are somewhat based on their arcade and/or location in the pizzaplex (especially with Roxy and Freddy whom don't have an arcade).

Its really just for me to have some good fun with all of the animatronics I've come to love over the years. Just about every animatronic will have some sort of appearance, albeit the ones with the most major roles are the SB characters, the FNaF 1 crew, Puppet, Springtrap, and Ennard. Potentially Baby as well, AQ isn't a fully finished AU by any means haha.

One Piece Chapter Discussion (Chapter 1124)

After having Oden with Denjiro and some rowdy kids, Yamato saves a person from being kidnapped on the way to Kuri. I’m not totally sure who the kidnapper could be. My first instinct is to say it’s Holdem, the lion SMILE user from the Wano arc. That’s because in the Volume 99, SBS, as translated here by Artur Library of Ohara, , Oda mentions how Holdem is his favourite SMILE user as his desire to draw Holdem was what led to the creation of SMILE users as a concept, with Holdem’s design being inspired by a childhood mech anime Oda used to watch. The other favourites of Speed and Hamlet could also be contenders or it could just be a inconsequential nobody but the blacked out silhouette makes it seem like it’s someone we know. It could be someone higher up the chain but I feel like a large portion of those people are still in the prisoner mines in Udon. Anyway, I wonder where Yamato’s cover story is leading to as Oda did mention that Wano still had a part to play near its end. Is it setting that up? Is it trying to give us closure on such a big arc? Or is it more like showing that the world continues to chug along? With that said, catch the discussion on the chapter itself under the cut!

Me and a friend are kinda obsessed with Big News Morgans to the point of making way out there theories about him. Like is he really selfish or is he actually some kind of secret double agent for the revolutionaries? And why does he have one of the few flying ships in the series? Also he’s not a mink so he just keeps his hybrid form up all the time? Safe to say, a lot of questions about him, and this appearance does paint him more as a sensationalist, kinda like a J. Jonah Jameson at his worst. But his empty threats towards Vivi are also pretty endearing. He has no idea how to deal with her and Vivi just steamrolls over him. It’s so great to see Vivi in this light again where she shows what she brought to the Strawhats. She can be diplomatic, sure, like when she made Luffy back down at Drum Island, but she also has a streak of hotheadedness that goes so well with the Strawhats streak of not accepting less than ideal status quo’s. Also speaking of Drum Island we see a Wapol that’s also kinda strangely grown on me. Oda’s got this extraordinary ability to make even the most hateable people incredibly well liked. Anyone remember Boa’s Heel-Face Turn? But getting back to Vivi, she’s just gone through the death of her father and like how the Strawhats were debating after going to her when they saw the headlines at the beginning of Egghead, she also has to consider what the truths are about the egghead situation.

Gosh, a crying Sentomaru rowing away from a broken Egghead just breaks my heart. I hope we see him again and that he gets a good ending. Kizaru here also reminds me of Garp at Marineford as we once again see people’s beliefs clashing with their duty in service of the institution of the World Government. I’m not sure if Kizaru will be redeemed or not but I can see this instance hardening his heart until he sees Lilith and whatever she has planned about the Vegapunk’s not being dead. I’ve also recently gotten into the Like a Dragon series with Yakuza 0 and Kizaru and Akainu’s relationship feels a lot like how the lieutenants there refer to each other as Kyodai and whatnot.

I really love this trio of Jinbei, Zoro and Franky interacting as it shows off all of their personalities. Franky’s always been about positivity so he tries to see the silver lining, highlighting how wild it is that they survived so much. Zoro’s always the one to voice the harsh truths as well as have high expectations for Luffy so he just comes out and says what he’s thinking. And Jinbei framed in the middle also shows off his role as the level-headed one, balancing different perspectives and keeping everyone on the right track. 

It’s also really fun to see small moments like this with the crew. Them in a giant’s couch with a giant shield hanging over them and Ussop working away at some Vegapunk tech. A lot of the times Oda uses that diminishing three panel ending to show the passage of time to the next event but in some cases like Luffy telling Sabo and Ace his real dream, Oda uses it to hide what’s happening and being revealed, opting for a more organic reveal in the future.

I believe that’s what happening here too, with Lilith explaining how all the Vegapunk’s are actually alive. At the very least Luffy learns enough to be cheered up enough for that great double spread celebration. One Piece, Oda and many of us, myself included live for these moments in One Piece where they finally get to celebrate after an arc. And with Elbaf looking like the final arc this could be the last time we see such a celebration before the end. I also love the small panel of Zoro being told that Luffy’s back to his normal self. A small moment but it adds so much. Also who could that silhouetted figure be? I feel like there’s three candidates. Starting from the least likely but most obvious, it could be Shanks. The giants were with him before Egghead and it could be that they’re bringing Luffy back to him. It would be a wild start to Elbaf to have Shanks demand the hat back. Two, it could be the prince of the Giants, Loki. This ones a little out of left field but it would make sense for the setting and could be a cool introduction. Though, most likely, the mystery figure is probably Scopper Gaban, the third most important crew member on Roger’s ship after Roger himself and Rayleigh. There’s been a long running theory that points out that Roger’s crew basically divide up Luffy’s journey into equal quarters, with Shanks at the start, Crocus a quarter of the way there, Rayleigh halfway through and now possibly Scopper right before the ending quarter. But regardless of who it is, Elbaf awaits! I can’t wait for this final era of One Piece to begin. It’s kind of bittersweet finally making it this far after it got introduced in Little Garden all the way back. Here’s to a great final arc!

Having so much fun with sb ruin, we haven't run into ANY major glitches never mind game breaking ones, and we've just done the new daycare section. Spoilers if you haven't got that far and want to play it, but I had some thoughts about Eclipse.

Now eclipse is something that's been in the fandom for a while, I think before even the balloon boy game was found, but it's never really been canon? I don't think the name ever appeared in game, but previously the only depiction of some secret third personality in the daycare attendant was the strange purple glitch in the minigame that revealed a red black glowing sun face with red eyes. It was all very threatening and spooky, and you are in a horror game after all (supposedly), so of course people imagined eclipse to be some ultra terrifying final line of defence for the daycare or the pizzaplex as a whole. Tall. Aggressive. Clever. Comes with a whole colour change to match, the way sun and moon do.

But ruin showed a completely different Eclipse! He (they? It?) was clear of mind (mostly, he was convinced the plex was running as normal), kind, and safe! He even gently dropped cassie off outside the play area! Even sun in sb physically threw us out in fury lmao. His eyes glowed different colours, his ARMS glowed different colours (that would have been so cool in sb), he had the rays and cap at the same time!

But why? What reason was eclipse programmed? In the daycare, there wouldn't have been any reason for him.

Well, there's the theory that sun and moon weren't originally created for the daycare, at least not solely. Instead, it's highly possible that they were made for the theatre next door.

Why? Well, for one, their design. Sun and moon are dressed like jesters, with bright colours and stripes, baggy trousers, curled toe slippers, and bells and ribbons on every limb. They bob and move in a way designed to jingle, with very long and articulate joints, even their head has a huge range of motion compared to the other animatronics. In fact, pretty much everything BUT their face is very expressive. It's as if they were designed to be seen at a distance. Exposed wires on the back of their head too, something none of the other animatronics have (being grabbed and hugged and climbed by kids all day, that's dangerous! To both them and the animatronics!)

The theatre, too, is designed and fitted for live performances. Though it is mostly a movie theatre now with a giant screen, there was still that badly programmed staff bot comedian (both in the game setting and its actual coding lmao) and the entire backstage area with dressing rooms, abandoned set pieces and undressed endos. The sun and moon faces are the theatre masks of joy and sorrow at its entrance. It's very likely sun and moon were originally intended to be the main actors, playing both villain and hero roles and saving the company a LOT of money in the long run, not paying for lead actors every day.

So what does this have to do with eclipse?

In the daycare, his presence makes little sense, but as a theatre performer, it would have been invaluable. Instead of making the character unbalanced in one direction, eclipse could have served as narrator, ringmaster, ambassador, he would have been the one bowing after a show, the one talking to parents, handing out flyers and merch, all the stuff you need to front that kind of show.

For one, it puts sun and moon on equal levels as all their marketing does, rather than sun being pretty much the sole worker. It allows them to act and be seen as two parts of a whole, rather than sun (and his evil counterpart). Eclipse is unbothered by changes in light, moving from the bright spotlights that crippled moon into total darkness that overrode dun in sb. From a production standpoint, eclipse is ideal to work with, the best parts of sun and moon.

But why sell one lot of merch when you could sell two? Make it a set?

And when they were repurposed to the daycare attendant, there wasn't much use for a third personality at all. Maybe behind the curtains, down in parts and services, maybe some niche situations. But without merch, without need, with the animatronic still in use, common knowledge of the eclipse program dissipated like mist.

All except for sun and moon and one broken arcade machine.

What's the backstory behind the Monty in Wonderland AU?

Ifffff you're meaning how it came to be, well…I can explain that real quick, but I'm sure you're probably meaning moreso the story of the Au a bit?

Or a 3rd option that eludes me…

Anywho, I shall be answering the first two above! And Hopefully you are prepared for a bit of a ramble here! ^-^

Monty In Wonderland or MIW came to be because of an ask to do with pocket dimension JDCAU (the asks apply to canon of the AU but are initially happening in tandem from a separate pocket dimension, fun stuff!) But because of lil lore tidbits on that Moon I had a lovely question from FriskHeart to do with 'Alice in Wonderland'

And this lead to some silly banter in response from the beans on how Moon kinda acts like Cheshire with how he messes with Monty when they joke together and a silly comment about the idea of 'Monty In Wonderland' sounding silly

A good few of my DCA au's have little ties to JDCAU or others but…that is neither here nor now is it? :3

Butttt….that lil ask sparked my creation of turning a silly originally one of comment into an Au!

As for the Au itself…

Welllllll….I can't say I have a ton planned out just yet, a lot of loose ideas and bits and bobs kinda thing atm (I find it easier to plot out Au's that have a heavier basis in Canon…case and points being JDCAU, LSAU, CTAMK and to an extend J-TOL)

I do plan to have a good mix of both Fnaf SB canon and the original 'Alice in Wonderland' so i need to do some planning on all that to merge it nicely but also put my own twists and headcanons in as well of course ;3

I have a handful of characters roughly figured out and the medium tho so that's a start! ^-^

Writing with occasional illustrations (much like the original books, this lets me show of pretty (in my opinion at least…) designs and scenes but gives me the flow of 'nonsensical' writing that actually makes sense but sounds like it doesn't

Monty (as the AU title suggests) replaces Alice, he's still an animatronic, still the same metal gator man except for the fact he is in a…old fashioned child's dress that will NOT come off, it is way to snug and SHOULD rip but its just...stuck. And he has no clue where he is or what's going on, things feel familiar but not, familiar faces that look….more organic the he's used to seeing.

Everyone's more…animalistic and fantastical and what is WITH the old timey clothes, we're not in the 80's aesthetics anymore and its really throwing him for a loop here.

And what's more the Moon here…or the one that's LIKE his friend Moon 'Cheshire' is reallll sassy, much like Moon is but dialed up to a 11 (man…what a jerk they are) and Monty can't seem to wrap his head around anything in the place or what is and isn't real, all he knows is he needs to find a way to get through the strange 'land of nonsense' and get back to the plex where things are NORMAL again…more or less normal at least as a pizza plex with sentient animatronics can be at least.

[star-going-supernova]

Well, last time was quite the emotional journey, but this time around, we have a much more .... frightful villain to discuss. That’s right, it’s time for my design of Gotham’s Master of Fear, Marcus “Moon” Crane AKA The Scarecrow! Hie design is a mixture of the burlap sack designs of Scarecrow’s in the past, combined with the court jester like look of Moon in Security Breach. He has the big hat like Scarecrow in the animated series, but it also has a little jingle bell on the end like Moon’s hat in the game. He wears simple burlap pants and long-sleeved shirts, with an alternating moon white and dark blue color scheme, with a common theme of moons and stars patterned on the clothing, particularly with the pants. He has a burlap face mask, similar in design to the Arkham Asylum game Scarecrow, but with glowing red eyes, and a large pale yellow crescent moon stitched over half the mask. He wears stark white gloves, the right hand of which has needles poking out of it like Scarecrow in Arkham Knight. He has the pointy jester shoes that Moon wears in SB, and for fun, I say we give him a scythe to complete the look. And there you have it, Moon as Scarecrow, don’t know when I’ll have his origin chapter done, but I hope that it’s as spine chilling as the villain himself. Till next time!

Delightfully nightmare-inducing! The red eyes and needles poking out of his glove combo sounds like something straight out of a spooky horror movie. I can also imagine hiding in the dark streets and hearing that jingle bell approaching rapidly, and it's awful in the best way!

[miiilowo]

I like security breach for the potential it had. I hate it for what it turned out to be lol

So many cool things removed and so many plot holes or just inconvenient things like the security passes. Just really rushed and yadda yadda (The security bots screaming in your face was really really really annoying)

Thank god for fan fiction tho. Those writers got my back and have made lore that’s way more interesting than what we got in SB

Also I know this has nothing to do with fnaf but I thought I might as well ask since I’m here! What is ultrakill? Also have you heard of the Callisto Protocol? If so what do ya think of it?

i generally dislike pretty much everything security breach has to offer, which is rather unfortunate. i think on a superficial level the designs are sick, especially sun specifically, but even the glamrocks dont feel like fnaf characters. it deviates too much from what the series actual IS for me. i do think itd be cool if they capitalized on the potential of making it a sort of liminal space-it IS the perfect setting-but they just. didnt. which is disappointing

I have never heard of callisto protocol, but looking over it for a few moments has definitely intrigued me. ill probably forget about it unless markiplier plays it or something so i hope he does lmao

as for ultrakill!!!!!! its an indie release, high speed movement shooter, gets compared to doom VERY frequently. if youre familiar with doom, it should help to know it makes doom eternal feel incredibly slow. then crank it down to sexy stylized 'ps1' graphics add gay sex with the angel and thats ultrakill

as much as i love doom, it kind of feels wrong to compare them. they are both set in hell and you have to kill demons, but aside from that + the genre, they are very different things. i havent been able to play a whole lot of ultrakill myself because my laptop ABSOLUTELY cannot run it but what i HAVE experienced has been very fun even if i keep getting my ass kicked. the devs are pretty in-touch with the fanbase and there is so much content fed to us you would never get from other shit its insane. like. theres something beautiful and also very funny about a game existing within what is considered i feel to be a very masculine, 'gamer'y genre but also being almost explicitly homosexual and having officially licensed body pillow cases of male characters illustrated by a gay trans guy

More headcanons

There is 100% art of Bonnie holding a Fizzy Faz reminding kids and employees to stay hydrated.

There's also art/cutouts of Bonnie getting flustered, embarrassed, frustrated, or angies, and he blushes purple. Obviously this can't happen to the animatronic.

Bonnie cannot play the drums! He's either too fast or too slow, and he doesn't know which drums make which sound.

In addition to Bonnie playing bass, he was also a backup vocalist- his voice is designed to harmonize with Freddy's, more specifically upper harmonies.

Bonnie loves, loves, LOVES anything multichrome.

Bonnie's favorite non-fazbear song is We Built This City by Starship.

Bonnie absolutely loves decorating for special events/holidays, such as Christmas, Halloween, etc. He just gets so excited once he's officially allowed to decorate for holidays.

Bonnie is designed to tune his bass and Chica's guitar- that's actually part of what the sensitive ears are for. Since Monty is designed for drums, he is not capable of this.

Bonnie has merchandise of all his friends just because why not. The only exception is Monty, and that is solely because he only knew Monty for a month before the attack.

Bonnie is very careful to not eat or drink with the damages- he isn't sure if it would cause complications, and he doesn't want to make things more difficult.

Bonnie's favorite flavor of Fizzy Faz is a tie between Blue Raspberry and Black Cherry. He likes things sour, but not too sour.

His favorite cake flavor is chocolate with chocolate icing. I feel like everyone has a favorite cake flavor.

Much like how Freddy can't connect to the main network at the start of SB, Bonnie can't connect to anything either. Most of the wires that were ripped out were replaced, but those ones were not.

Bonnie had two different cutouts in Monty Golf in two separate locations. One was next to Roxy, and he was backing off with a nervous chuckle. The other was him all pouty and frustrated with a purple tint across his face. Incidentally, Bonnie sucks at mini golf- he knows this and accepts this, it's still fun after all.

Incidentally, Bonnie loves Monty Golf. The music that plays there is super cool, in his opinion, and he thinks it's fitting of Monty's character, and the aesthetics are really cool as well. He considers it a very great edition to the Pizzaplex.

Bonnie is notorious for his hugs- yes he gives really great, firm hugs, but when he's excited, his strength gets away from him and he often needs to be reminded to not accidentally crush his friends.

Speaking of excited, when Bonnie is super duper excited, he tends to bounce on his heels a lot or maybe clap a little, in edition to his tail wagging. He also tends to clap when he's laughing super hard.

[butchtoads]

Rambling about the new you//tooz merch under readmore. Hope this works, haven't tried to insert one on mobile before.

don't like most of you/tooz's (splitting so this doesn't pop up in someone's search results, I'm not looking to debate w strangers rn) merch (not a fan of the expressions, face shape, how the proportions look in that particular style), but I do think their merch of non human characters can be pretty good sometimes.

I found out they released new FNAF pins either today or the last few days? Idk. But I did snag those. The sb ones are my favorites of the two sets, though the purple guy one got a good chuckle out of me. Still no official daycare attendant merch outside of The Shirt and the security breach collectors exclusive plush, but there is a wet floor bot pin that I'm amused by. Of that set Roxanne's, Monty's, and Vanny's are my favorites though. The poses are fun and creative! I appreciate that they aren't using the same pose for all of their Vanny merch.

As for the OG fnaf pin bundle I would say the purple guy, golden Freddy, and og Freddy are my favs (purple guy being the top fav of the set by a longshot though). I'm usually very picky about where glitter is used on enamel pins. I was surprised that they decided to use glitter for the golden Freddy pin but I actually don't hate it? Maybe non glitter wouldve been more accurate but with the design choice they made for the pin I think it works. I only hope the sample image is how the final product will be as far as the glitter dispersal goes, I cannot STAND when glitter is just a few flecks here and there when used on pins. It just looks really bad and detracts from the design. Imo, if you're using glitter, it needs to be put on there so it looks full, not sparse. Sometimes the glitter chosen doesn't match the backing enamel color and it comes off as discordant visually. They matched the glitter perfectly here. Purple guys pose and expression are just fun in a terrible bastard kind of way. I appreciate it. As for og Freddy, I just think it's really cute and well done.

Helper pt. 3

word count: 7262

Fandom: FNAF Security Breach Pairing: Sundrop/Moondrop x Female!Reader Pronouns: She/Her Relationship: Romantic  Occupation: Daycare Helper Ability: Animatronic Moon Jellyfish

The character was modelled after a moon jellyfish, so they are an oceanic type animatronic that mostly resided in the daycare to assist when needed within the pizza plex. The appearance they adorn is that of a tall woman and the animalistic part of her design would be, other than a human-like face, they would have a large bell (the blob of a jellyfish is called a bell or hood) on top of their head that would act as a large hat, and attached to the underside of the bell are the tentacles and stingers. They are not stingers, they help the character locate children and feel for their surroundings. The bell on top of their head also glows in the dark.

Keys:

[F/N]: Female Name  [B/C]: Base Color  [S/C]: Secondary Color  [F/C]: Favorite Color  [E/C]: Eye Color

Warnings: spoilers to those who haven’t seen fnaf sb.

“Helper” pt. 1, pt. 2

“[F/N]~” said woman chuckled softly at the sing song voice coming from the child that sat in her lap, hearing the child trail her name off while leaning backwards so they could look up at her. [F/N] hums in response, placing her hand on their back and pushing them up gently so they wouldn’t fall “You’re not exactly… alive, right?” this question caught her off guard, she wasn’t really expecting to hear those words come out of a six year olds mouth, but she nods her head.

“If you mean I’m not exactly a human, then yes.” the child nods their head, looking forward and letting [F/N] brush their hair “Why do you ask? Does me not being a human make you uncomfortable?” she halts in her brushing once more when the child turned around.

“Nah uh! I like you, I like you a whole lot!” they exclaim as they hug her, she pats their back just as they pull themselves off her “It’s just that my mama told me that machines are incapable of falling in love.” [F/N]’s mood dampens a little, her hand caressing the small child’s back.

��Well… I wouldn’t say she’s wrong.” the child now tilts their head to the side in confusion.

“But aren’t you and Mister Sunny in love?” this question caused her to flinch, her internal fans starting up when she started overheating “Mister Moon as well! Sometimes, when you put us to sleep, I see you two acting like how my mama and papa act. I think it’s very romantic~” [F/N] pressed her lips into a thin line, her hand now beginning to fan her face.

“Don’t you know when people are being intimate it’s only right to give them privacy and not peek?” this caused the child to giggle, she then presses her hand onto her forehead, shaking it lightly “Goodness child, I would appreciate it if you would look in the other direction in the future.”

“Hehe, no promises.” [F/N] playfully rolls her eyes under her eyelids before beginning to tickle their stomach, their laughter was enough to get Sundrop’s attention and he came skipping over.

“Hey, hey, hey! How’s my favourite lady? Are you guys having fun over here?” a few of the children that were following Sundrop came over and started playing with [F/N], a few draping themselves over her shoulders and others settling themselves in her lap, the remaining few were playing with her hair and hat.

“We’re just talking, sunbite, ain’t that right?” the child covers their mouth, trying to contain their laughter.  “Must be a good conversation if y’all are laughing this much!” [F/N] noticed that most of the children were distracted amongst themselves, except for the one child that started it all, so she covered their eyes with one of their hands before reaching forward to cup his cheek and turn his face towards her so she could press and kiss to his cheek “Uwah— what was that for?” he asks, pressing his hand to his cheek while flustered.

“Just showing you that I love you.” the moment she dropped her hand from the child’s eyes, they noticed how lovey dovey they were acting again. They were pretty sure that if none of them were there, they would act even more affectionate, telling by how [F/N] held Sundrop’s smaller hand in her own and was gently caressing his knuckles before the both of them lace their fingers together.

“Oh, stop it, starshine. The children are still here…” she just giggles, her head perked up when a notification went off in her head.

“Oh, it seems like it’s nap time.” she starts to laugh when Sundrop pouted “Don’t worry, you’ll be back before you know it. Nap time only lasts an hour or so. And besides, it’s Moony’s turn.” she kisses the backside of her hand, when she lets go, she couldn’t help but blush a little when he pressed his own lips to where she kissed him.

“Alright, let’s round up all the children.”

“They’re not cattle, Sunny.” this caused them both to laugh. Of course there were the few children who didn’t want to settle down for nap time, but after being promised a snack time right after nap time was enough to get them to comply. [F/N] gives Sundrop a kiss on the forehead and coos sweet nothings into his ear to calm himself down, it always did hurt sometimes when the two would switch, but it’s been getting better. She was in the middle of playing a lullaby when the lights turned off and Moon appeared, she didn’t hesitate to welcome him with a kiss, to which he leaned into the affection before the two of them went to work.

Moondrop watched [F/N], watching as she sung beautifully to the sleeping children, he now come to love nap time. Children were a nightmare, especially the rowdy ones and those that just downright refused to sleep because they still had so much energy, but [F/N] made his job so much easier, and he even go to spend time with the animatronic woman that stilled his usually cold mechanical heart. He flinched slightly when he felt a stare so he looked down and saw the same young child smirking slightly at him, wriggling their eyebrows at him when they noticed the way he was staring at her. That child had a pillow thrown at them for that, causing them to laugh but shushed immediately when he leaned down and glared lightly at them.

“Silence child, and go to sleep. I want some time with her, so if you know what’s good for you, you’ll go to sleep and not speak a word.” they nod their head and zip their lips before rolling onto their side and closing their eyes to sleep, he nods his head as he stands up straight “Good.” he keeps his eyes on them for a second longer before skipping over to her.

“Are you done over there, Moony?” she giggles softly when he draped himself over her shoulder, leaning his cheek into hers.

“Yeah, they’re all sleeping soundly. Now it’s our alone time.” she giggles again, face turning a slight shade of red as he takes her hands a pulls her away from the nap area.

“Hehe, what are you doing, moonlight?” he leads her to the centre of the daycare and tells her not to move, he then proceeds to move everything out of the way until everything is clear. He then hurriedly returns to her and when he he reached her, he took a bow, one hand behind his back while the other was outstretched to her.

“Would you do me this honour and sharing a dance with me?” he raised his head and watched as her eyes opened, emotions swirled in those gorgeous galaxy like eyes and it was making him fall in love all over again, she then laughs and takes his hand.

“It would be my pleasure.” her other hand lays in his other hand and soon they were standing close together, however, she tilts her head in confusion when Moondrop was staring up at her “What's the matter?” he frowns slightly.

“… sometimes I forget how tall you are.” she snorts.

“That’s your concern?” she looks down at him and watches as he tries to think of a solution, his face then lights up when he got an idea and he snapped his fingers. He slips from her grip once more, raising a finger to tell her to wait once more and watch, and so she does. She holds her arms together and watched in mild confusion when he called down his cable and clipped it to his back, she slowly raised her head and laughed quietly to herself, covering her mouth with her hand when she understood what he was doing “Really?” he now hovered in front of her, one arm to his back while the other was outstretched to hers once more.

“May I?” she shakes her head but takes his hand.

“You may.” his already permanent smile grew as he held her close, now looking down at her, despite the fact it was the cable that was giving him that advantage. A melody started playing out of him and together the two of them slow danced around the daycare, she was giggling every so often because it was her that was leading them around but he would often twirl her around, what she loved the most was when he dipped her, hand firmly on her back and hand to hold her up and her hair and the strings of her bell hat was hanging beneath her and touching the ground, one leg kicked up as well.

“Have I ever told you how much I love you?” she looks up at him, her galaxy like eyes staring in his void black ones, she then snorts as he pulls her back up and so she let her head rest on his chest, hearing the gears in his body turn as she hummed softly.

“There isn’t a single day that doesn’t go by and I’m not deeply in love with you— with you both.” she looks up at him “I can’t be more happy that I was made to be yours.” he stares down at her before he starts laughing wholeheartedly, dipping her once more but this time he was leaning down, laughing into her neck.

“You have no idea how much this means to Sundrop and I!” she starts laughing with him, arms wrapped around his neck. When he pulled her up, he made sure to hold her tight as he lifted her off the ground and twirled her around and together the two of them danced for the rest of nap time until it was over “I’ll see you again soon, my love.” she giggles, giving him a final smooth until the lights turned back on, and when she pulled away, she as met with Sundrop.

“Hello, sunbite.” he giggles, cupping his cheek and waving his hand.

“Hello~” she rolled her eyes with a chuckle then went back to gathering snacks for the children while Sundrop woke them up, for the rest of the time until closing, [F/N] was monitoring the energy drained children and keeping them entertained with bracelet making while Sundrop was playing around with the more energised children.

“Miss [F/N]! Look at my bracelet.” a young girl cheered, rushing up to the animatronic woman and holding out the bracelet “How does it look?” she carefully takes the bracelet into her larger hands and inspects, the girl looks up at her with a nervous look before a bright smile washed onto her face when [F/N] smiled at her.

“It’s wonderful. You have a natural gift for jewellery making.” she takes the young girls hand and ties the bracelet around her wrist then gently kissed the top of her hand “It would greatly please me if you could teach me.”

“Y-Yes, certainly!” [F/N] already had numerous programs on jewellery making and various other programs, but having children teaching her in exchange was always nice. [F/N] made two friendship bracelets by the time the young girl made her second, the ones she made were themed after Sundrop and Moondrop and she couldn’t help but smile at her accomplishments “Are you going to give those to Mister Sun and Mister Moon?” she nods.

“Indeed, do you think they’ll like it?”  “Of course! They were made by none other than you, Miss [F/N]!” she nods once more, that light flush rising to her cheeks. [F/N] watched her stand to her feet and rush off, she was going to question what she was doing but giggled to herself when the girl grabbed Sundrop by his hand and was dragging him over to where she was sitting “Mister Sun, Mister Sun! Miss [F/N] has something to give you!”

“Something for me? Daw, you shouldn’t have!” she holds her hand out to him and he places his in hers, she then proceeds to tie the sun themed friendship bracelet around his wrist, being careful around about the bells around his wrist as well, but when it was done, he pulled the bracelet close to his face to inspect it.

“What do you think? I made matching ones for you and Moon.” she says, revealing the second one so he could see one that looked similar to his but was themed after Moon “Do you like it?” Sundrop let’s out a squeal of sorts as he stares at it before clapping his hands.

“Absolutely, and I believe Moon will like the one you give him.” she hums at that, holding the one she made for Moondrop in her hand.

“I do hope so.” time flew by so quickly that it was already the end of the day and parents were coming to pick up their young ones, it was Sundrop’s turn to start cleaning while [F/N] was there to monitor the guardians that were there to pick up the children. There have been a few incidences where complete strangers would try and take one of the children, but they never got far with her and Sundrop there to stop them, but that is a story for another time.

“Thank you again for taking good care of our child, we appreciate it.” [F/N] nods her head.

“It is our duty to take care of the children, and besides, he was a dear to have around.” she cooed softly while caressing the young boys cheek with the back of her hand, the boy giggled and leaned into her affection before being pulled away by his mother.

“Yes, well, we must get going now. Come on now.” 

“Aw, but mum! I wanna say bye to Miss [F/N].”

“No buts! Off we go.” he pouts as he’s ushered away but he makes the effort to take a quick glance back towards her to wave her goodbye, she smiled at the gesture and waves goodbye. It was obvious that some parents hated the fact that their children adored both her and Sun/Moon over them at times, telling by how a young child would cling to the both of them begging not stay, but of course, they’re not allowed to keep the children there for long.

“I swear, my son’s birthday was ruined tonight.” she heard a mother complain from afar while handing over another child to their guardian.

“Yeah, I wasn’t there to see the performance, but I heard that Freddy had a malfunction and collapsed during his performance.” her eyes shot open and she turned towards the gossiping mothers.

‘Freddy collapsed?’ she thought, that sounded impossible. Freddy has the most daily maintenance out of all the animatronics because he is the face and star of the Mega Pizza Plex, so she couldn’t accept the fact that he had a simple malfunction during his performance.

“Miss [F/N]?” she lets out a soft gasp then glanced down to see the young boy she was holding in her arms looking up at her in concern “Are you alright?” she blinks owlishly at him before closing her eyes and smiling at him.

“Why I’m alright, thank you for worrying about me.” she says, leaning down to place him on the ground, she grimaced a little when the boy still looked worried but simply gave him a light push on the back to get him to go to his father that was waiting for him “You better get going, we’re closing soon and your father is waiting.” she stands up straight and waves him goodbye and though he was hesitant, he hurried over to his father, holding his hand and waving her goodbye.

“See you again, Miss [F/N]!” she nods and watched them disappear, unbeknownst to herself, the grip on her hands grew tight to the point she could feel herself dent.

“I hope to see your faces soon!” [F/N] exclaimed happily as she waved the last family goodbye, she looked side to side in search for anyone else before turning on her heel and speed walking over to where Sundrop was, who had his back to her as he was at the table that had the equipment for the bracelet making “Sunny, darling! I need a favor of you.” she says, not noticing the way he hid the things on the table when she approached.

“Oh, starshine! What can I do for you?”

“Do you mind holding down the fort for me? I just heard that Freddy isn’t feeling well, and I thought I could check up on him. I hope you don’t mind.” she thought that he would disagree, he never liked them being so apart, so guess how surprised she was with how easily Sundrop agreed with her.

“You're absolutely right, sunbite! You’re such a good friend to worry about your other friends, so go on right ahead and pay that big ole teddy bear a visit just to see if he’s doing alright!” he says, going to so far as to pushing her out.

“A—Are you sure?” she questions, glancing back at him and being mindful of her step as not to tumble over “I’m not being troublesome, am I?” she adds, now out the door and holding it open to look at him, to which he shakes his head.

“Not at all! We got this, so go say hi to Freddy for us!” she pulls her hands back when he quite literally slammed the door in her face, she stares blankly at it for a couple seconds before snapping out of it, leaning backwards in confusion.

“… well, I didn’t expect that.” she stands there a second longer until she turned on her heel and made her way towards Rockstar Row, leaving Sundrop and Moondrop in the daycare.

“I didn’t expect her wanting to leave, but we’ll take her absence as our opportunity to make her a gift.” he cheers as he returns to the table, Moondrop nodded his head within their shared mind.

“There’s not a moment to lose!”

[with [f/n]]

“Look, mummy! Look, it’s the Daycare Assistant!” [F/N] heard a couple of the children call out, to which she greeted a few of the leaving guests before picking up the pace so she could see Freddy without having to see Vanessa. It was strongly advised that they didn’t roam around while the Pizza Plex was in the middle of closing, but she was just a little bit too anxious. She waved at the last child she saw then hopped into the elevator in the Atrium and pressed the floor to take her to Rockstar Row, she crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the ground a little impatiently. Finally the doors opened to the floor she needed and she stepped out, she glanced around and saw a couple Security and Caution Bots, greeting them with a wave before something caught her eye. Glancing over, she briefly saw the door to Freddy’s room open then close.

“How odd.” she muttered but shrugged her shoulders, she’ll see soon enough, she approached his door and it automatically opened as she approached it “Freddy!”

“Aahh!” she rolled her eyes when he screamed, what caught her attention was when she saw him quickly close his chest cavity, he turned around and saw [F/N] and quickly that panicked look disappeared and he raised his hand “Oh! Why hello there, [F/N]! What brings you here? You’re usually helping Sundrop clean up the Daycare at this time.” he fidgeted under her watchful eyes, hands carefully caressing his chest, she then sighed as she shook her head.

“I’m here to see you.” his head perked up.

“Me? What for?” she scoffed, taking a step forward and grabbing him by his forearms.

“I heard you malfunctioned and collapsed during your performance.” his eyes widened.

“How did you know?” she huffs.

“World travels fast amongst complaining parents.” she then shrugs, she sighs and caresses his arm with her thumbs “What I don’t understand is why YOU of all animatronics malfunctioned. Monty I understand, even Roxanne and Chica dearest, but you? Management takes extra care of you, so I’m confused as to why you malfunctioned.” she raised a brow when he slowly slipped out of her grip, his hands now holding her forearms.

“All I can say is that it was a simple slip up on my end, I thank you for your concern, friend, but I must rest.”  he retracts his arms and holds them “I haven’t fully recharged yet, and I feel awfully tired.” her head perks up and soon nods.

“Oh, yes! Forgive me, I’ll leave you to charge! I need to head back to the Daycare, I feel awful for leaving Sunny on his own to clean. You know how children can be, such a pain to clean up after at times.” he nods his head, pumping his fist.

“That must be a hassle, so you better get to it.” she nods, patting his arm and turning to leave but stopped when Freddy called out to her “But before you go… was a child missing from the Daycare any time today?” this caused her to pause, he watched her look up as her AI looked through the data of each child that attended the daycare that day.

“No. I did a thorough headcount and there wasn’t a single head missing.” she approaches him once more “May I ask why?” he noticed her move her eyes from his face and down to his chest cavity, poking it, he immediately raised his hands to cover his chest and turned away.

“No, was just wondering, is all.” she knew he was lying to her, but he must have a reason as to why, so she just let out a deep sigh as she shook her head.

“Alright, I’ll leave you to it.” she gives him a hug, holding tight before letting go and leaving him alone. Unbeknownst to her, he let out a breath of relief as his chest cavity opened up to reveal the missing head he was talking about, the young boy named Gregory that was hiding in his chest cavity the moment she stepped in.

“She’s gone now, superstar.” Gregory lets out a exaggerated sigh.

“Dang, that was a close one!” he exclaims, he rushes over to the window and saw her walking into the elevator doors “Who is she? I think I’ve heard of her, but I’ve never seen her before.” Freddy approached Gregory from behind and glances through the window to see the elevator doors closing just as he approached.

“She is the Daycare Assistant, she helps the Daycare Attendant care for the daycare. She is a wonderful friend, and I believe you would like her a lot, she is very fond of children and cares for them as if they were her own.” Gregory scoffed, throwing his head back as he rolled his eyes.

“If she could even have children, that is.” he waves his hand “She’s still just a machine, so she can’t exactly conceive a child.”

“W-Well, it’s that thought that counts, is it not?” he just shakes his head.

[at the daycare]

“Sunbite, darling?” [F/N] pushes the door to the daycare open and peeked her head inside, she was a little impressed that Sundrop cleaned up the daycare thoroughly while she was gone, but now she was a little concerned because she couldn’t see him “I’m back, Sunny!” she called out once again, her shoulders slumped, however, when she didn’t get an answer. She entered the daycare, placing her hands on her hips and was ready to call out to him again but gasped when he hung from above her, upside down and a wide smile on his face.

“You’re back, starshine! Welcome!” she smiles softly, nodding her head.

“I’m back.” he rights himself but made sure he was still hanging in front of her, hands behind his back as his hands held something “Sunbite?” he giggles softly, legs kicking gently in front of him.

“I have a surprise for you.” he muses, waving his finger around then pointed at her face.

“Aw~ how sweet.”  “Close your eyes…” he trailed off when he realised her eyes were already closed, how she saw without her eyes being open, he’ll never know… but whatever! “Well, um… make sure you can’t see!” she chuckles and covers her eyes with her hands.

“Alright, okay.” she heard him muttering to himself, probably talking with Moondrop, something then jingled in front of her that made her tilt her head.

“You can open your eyes now!” she does so by removing her hands from her face then opening her eyes, and there she saw a necklace Sundrop and Moondrop had made that was themed after her but had sun and moon beads mixed into it as well with her name “Moony and I made this for you, we hope you like it!” she takes it into her hands and inspects it closely, she then laughs softly and holds it closely.

“I love it, you two, I love it very much!” she gives them both a big smile and holds it out to them “Put it on for me?” they didn’t hesitate to swipe it from her, she removes her hat and moves her hair so they wouldn’t have trouble putting it on, and when they did, she grabbed a miniature mirror to look at it. She was made and styled in the Victorian era, so it didn’t match her at all, but she loved it nonetheless “It’s perfect.” Sundrop claps his hands.

“Terrific! We’re glad that you love it.” she continues to admire it before putting the mirror down and offering her hand to them.

“Hows about we call it a night? My battery is finally catching up to me and I desperately need to charge.” Sundrop nods his head.

“Oh, absolutely! We get to cuddle!” she chuckles at that, she wraps her arms around Sundrop’s waist and he lifts them over to their now shared room. She enters first and takes her place by the charging port, when Sundrop enters, he turned into Moondrop because the lights were off and he approached her.

“Can I get my gift?” she giggles.

“Of course.” she takes out the one she made for him and puts it on his other wrist, he marvels at them both before pulling her into a hug and together the three of them look at their matching jewellery “Now we all match.” she nods her head, nuzzling her nose against his head.

“We do.” she sits on her knees and one of the stingers attached to her hat slithered over to the charging port, she pats her lap and Moondrop didn’t hesitate to rest his head on her lap so they could snooze together.

“I’ll see you in the morning?” he smiles, nodding his head.

“Yes, and we’ll see you.” and with that, the moment that stinger plugged into the charging port, her system shut down and she was in charging mode. He takes a deep breath, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face plate into her lap, but not without taking one final glance at his and Sundrop’s bracelets. He couldn’t contain his bashful smile as he fell asleep in her lap, neither of the two unaware of the events that were going to take place throughout the night.

[an hour later]

EMERGENCY WAKE UP CALL.

DAYCARE LIGHTS OFF.

BOUNCER MODE… ACTIVATED.

PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS… DEACTIVATED.

[F/N]’s eyes opened, her system booting up at an hour they weren’t supposed too. When she was on recharge mode, it would take several hours for her to reach fully charged mode where she can last a few days without having to enter a charging station. But she had woken up from her slumber way to early, and the only reason that were to happen was when the daycare lights turned off at a time they weren’t supposed to… or if Moondrop was running amok, something like that hasn’t happened in the longest time. Similar to DJMM, Parts and Service installed a Bouncer Mode into her system that would activate when unruly guests make a scene, but it was used to subdue Moondrop when the staff couldn’t handle him.

“Sunny…?” she murmured out first, the stinger that connected itself to the plug disconnecting and returning to her as she slowly stood up and scanned the area for the animatronic “Moony? Where are you?” she closed her hand into a fist and grimaced when she felt her initial strength to take down animatronics like Monty was activated… something must be wrong, that restraint was activated for a reason. She exits their tent and noticed the lights in the daycare were indeed off, she looks at the time and was confused to see that the hourly mark for the power to convert to the charging stations hadn’t hit yet. With that in mind, she stepped out onto the balcony and looked around, only to hear Moon’s sinister chuckle.

“Naughty, naughty~ bad children must be punished.” her eyes immediately flew open as she slammed her hands onto the railing of the balcony, leaning over to see that he was chasing around a little boy who was frantically going through the playground and making a mess to distract him.

“Please! Just leave me alone!” her eyes locked onto the child and scanned him quickly before he disappeared into the playground while Moondrop cleaned up the mess he made.

CHECKING GUEST LIST… UNKNOWN.

CHECKING DAYCARE REGISTER… UNKNOWN.

CHECKING LOST AND FOUND… UNKNOWN.

CALCULATED RESULTS… LOST CHILD.

“Lost child?” she questioned, soon the conversation with Freddy came back to mind when he asked her if she was missing a child. She rolls her fingers along the railing, hearing it tap against the metal, but that child was completely unknown. There was no data of him anywhere, she shakes her head, that doesn’t matter that very moment, Moondrop was acting far more aggressive than he usually is and she was afraid he was going to do something neither of them were going to like. She calls down the cable just as she jumped over the railing, grabbing it and allowing it to lower her to the ground, she was careful to quietly land on the ground, as not to alert Moondrop of her presence.

“Dang it, where are those stupid generators?” Gregory hisses to himself, getting lost in the playground yet again “Why the heck are generators even in a children’s playground? Talk about a hazard.” he freezes up when he heard the bells on Moondrop’s costume jingle, oh god, he was crawling around in the playground as well.

“Where are you? Children aren’t allowed to stay after hours.” he pressed his back against the wall, covering his mouth to quiet his breathing but the beating in his heart beat so loudly it was giving him away “Come out, come out, wherever you are~” oh god did he want to just curl up into a ball and disappear, a small whimper escaped his lips when he saw Moondrop’s fingers appear around the corner of the wall. There was nowhere for him to go, he was trapped and that freak was going to get him. He closed his eyes and was ready for his life to flash before his eyes but they suddenly shot open when Moondrop let out a yelp, he looked over and saw that Moondrop was gone.

“H-Huh?” wiping away the stray tears, he looked around the corner and his eyes widened to see the same animatronic jellyfish that came to Freddy’s room holding Moondrop as if he were a cat.

“Moony? What are you doing playing around in the playground? You know that’s only designed for children, and don’t you remember the last time you went in there?” she giggles fondly at the memory, remembering how his limbs got stuck and he was screeching at her not to look “You know I can’t fit in there, so color me surprised when I had to yank you out of there.” yup, that’s what happened. The moment she saw the opportunity to grab him through one of the openings, she leaned in and pulled him out before he could see the young boy.

“You don’t understand, starshine. There’s a child!” he exclaims, throwing his arms up, to which she rolls her eyes while nodding her head.

“Right…” he sighed when he knew she didn’t believe him “Remember the last time you said that? And when we checked to see what it was it, it was only Roxanne and Montgomery playing tricks on you. Perhaps they’re doing it again.” he pouts as she lowers him down, she giggles to herself when he crossed his arms and started to sulk.

“I’m telling you, there’s a boy running around.” she smiles fondly at him, placing her hands on his shoulders and giving them a light squeeze, her eyes then went over to where Moondrop was and there she saw the boy. He flinched backwards and was going to hide but paused when he saw her jerking her head to her left, her stingers raising up and pointing in the same direction. He was confused at first but looked in the direction and there he saw another generator, she gave him a look of reassurance but quickly looked away when Moondrop looked at her.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but the last time we jumped to conclusions… we were barely let off with a warning.” this caused his shoulders to slump, she then turned him towards their room and gestures to it “Why don’t we go back to sleep? Perhaps you’re just anxious to see the children again that your AI is playing tricks with you.” with his back to the boy, Gregory peeked his head out from the play structure and his face lit up when her stingers pointed out all the generators, saving him the trouble of actually finding them.

“Maybe you’re right. The children have only recently started liking me again.” she smacks his arm, moving from time to time to block his view of Gregory as they continued to talk.

“They’ve always liked you, my love, they’re only shy.” she caresses his cheek and kisses his forehead “Now let’s go back and cuddle.” he giggles at that.

“Hehe, I like that idea for mu—” he was cut off when they both heard something fall, turning their heads, there they saw Gregory had accidentally tripped over a chair after he was staring at the two of them acting lovey dovey “So I wasn’t making it up!” he exclaims as starts making his way over to him, Gregory did not hesitate to pick himself up and run over to the other playground to get the last two generators.

“Ah, please! I don’t even want to be here!”

“Moon, what are you doing?!” [F/N] shouts as she chases after Moon, ducking down to avoid hitting a few of the obstacles in her way while Moon easily manoeuvred around them and was getting closer to Gregory “Moon! Stop right this instant!”

“Sorry, sweetheart, but no can do.” Gregory crawled into the playground and Moon was right behind him, [F/N] tried to grab him but she failed when he just slipped out of her reach and she couldn’t crawl in after him. She cursed under his lips, taking a step back and using her enhanced eyes to see through the dark and locate where both Moon and Gregory were in the playground.

“Moondrop, I swear if you hurt that boy you’re never going to hear the end of it from me!” she shouts, she managed to find Gregory and saw that he was backed into a corner after getting one of the two generators and Moon was hot on his tail “I will NEVER forgive you if you do anything to that boy, Moondrop! I swear on it!” this caused Moon to stutter in his movements, momentarily freezing in place, she took that opportunity to rush over to where Gregory was and pull him out of the playground instead.

“Hey! What’s wrong with that guy?!” she shook her head.

“I should be the one asking you that.” she whispered “My Moony doesn’t act like that, much less threaten a child and refuse to listen to me.” Gregory noticed black tears swell in her eyes as she stared at where Moon was before turning away and finding the last generator, however, she was tackled to the ground and evidently dropped Gregory.

“[F/N], dearest, hand over the child while I’m being nice.” she looked back and Moon and saw he was holding her by her waist, she glared at him as she pushed herself on her back.

“When my moonlight is being nice, he doesn’t threaten me!” she shouts and proceeds to kick him off, this time, she was going to keep Moon distracted while Gregory climbed into the playground to get the last generator “Little boy, if you climb in through the slide at the back, you’ll find the last generator!”

“The last in the back? Got it!” he quickly did as she said and followed her directions, her ears perked up when she heard a wire so she looked back and saw Moon connected the cable to his back and was planning on flying over her and after Gregory.

“Oh no you don’t!” she exclaims, kneeling down then jumping up and grabbing him by his waist. The cable wasn’t able to handle the weight and snapped, causing them both to fall to the ground. Moon gets up immediately and tries to get to Gregory once more but couldn’t when [F/N] picking him up, arms wrapping around his arms and his torso, keeping him apprehended “Moon, don’t make me break you.” he lets out a grunt when he felt her tighten her grip, his metal body starting to dent a little.

“I know you can, but I know you won’t. You love me too much to do that.” he feels her loosen her grip so he was going to slip out of her grip but suddenly she tightened her grip once more, making it impossible for him to free himself.

“True, but unfortunately for you, my system is telling me to do everything in my power to stop you from doing something stupid.” he glances back at her and saw that her iris’ were red instead of white “My feelings for you will be suppressed until you are under control.” finally, Gregory managed to get the last generator and the lights were switched back on. You glanced around then took a look at Moon only to see that he switched back to Sundrop, she lets out a sigh of relief and loosen her grip but hugs him instead.

“[F/N]? What are you doing awake? You’re supposed to be asleep.” she shook her head and buried her face into his neck.

“You and Moony were gone so I got worried…” they heard a creek so they turn and see Gregory trying to leave, now this set Sundrop off and stomped over to Gregory, [F/N] following behind him to make sure he didn’t do anything.

“Rule breaker, rule breaker!” he shouts, picking Gregory up and carrying him out of the daycare “You are BANNED from the daycare!” he adds, dropping him on the ground, [F/N] peeks her head out from behind him and waves Gregory goodbye.

“Have a good night, little boy.” she says.

“Security alert, security alert! Woo, woo, woo!” she pulls a face, looking down at him as they both retreat back into the daycare, him slamming the door behind him for good measure.

“Was that necessary?” he stomps his foot, crossing his arms.

“Absolutely!”

Headcanon:

watching him angrily write down BANNED in all caps on a wide white piece of paper was very entertaining.

several BANNED signs.

she couldn’t help but laugh that he seriously banned the boy from the daycare.

he told her not to laugh.

he also asked her to draw “angry eyebrows” and a “frown” on his face to display his anger.

she told him he was being over dramatic.

he told her she needed to take this seriously.

he then proceeded to cry to her that he just wanted to look after the boy but he turned the lights off and brought out moon.

she asked him if there was something wrong with moon because he was acting off.

he went silent.

she decided not to pry.

now, when the lights would go out and moon was lurking about searching for gregory, she would not be too far behind to keep moon under control.

when freddy and gregory were in the elevator and frantically pushing the buttons to get the elevator to close, [f/n] appeared and tackled him to the ground.

this had happened on several occasions, but it was very effective.

when [f/n] found gregory and freddy on their own, gregory, no matter how many times he was saved by her, was still just a little wary of her.

could you blame him? his life is literally on the line and the only one he can trust that moment was freddy.

he calmed down when [f/n] broke down crying about how that wasn’t her moon.

her moon was calm and kind, sure he was stern, but he would never hurt children no matter WHAT they do.

she even showed them the necklace they both made.

freddy let her cry into his shoulder and pat her back to calm her down.

now-

when freddy needed to charge, [f/n] would take over monitoring gregory.

she was a walking nightlight and you could see her from far away, she was also big so he could easily hide behind her.

if he was tired, they would find a place to rest and she would hide him under his bell hat and he would be out like a light.

a thing gregory also noticed was that where she was, none of the security bots would come over to where she was.

she said that the security bots won’t monitor the area where she is because she was more then enough to handle the situation that was happening there.

the same cannot be said for the animatronics.

that didn’t mean she didn’t bodyslam monty when he chased after gregory.

he forever stuck to her side.

[f/n] and freddy: the overprotective parents that will fight you on site if you dare hurt their child.

[gallexy-cat]

And here we have Sun and Moon from Fnaf SB as cats! Because I am just all over the place with the fandoms I'm drawing.

But these actually turned out pretty good! I think I'm happier with Sunrises design, but I like both. I do think I made these a little complicated to draw over and over, but oh well! And I know his name is Sundrop--at least I think, idk what his canon name is anymore--but I like calling him Sunrise because it makes for a nice contract with Moondrop. Sun and Moon, Rise and Drop..... Anyways

I meant for the fluff on Sun's face to mimic the rays in his original design, and the darker spots and lines are for the different parts of his outfit. And the colors are split pretty obviously to look like the original design, just with some wavy lines thrown in to make it look more dynamic or smth, idk really know what I'm doing. Same goes for Moon, though I also gave him the blue gradient that is on his arms, just toned it down a bit because a bright blue cat looked weird

The different eyes on Moondrop were inspired heavily by @bamsara version of Moon, which is very feral and fun go look at their stuff, its great

And why are they cats, you may ask? Because I can't draw them normally. I tried. I can't. So... Cats

Anyways, hope you all like this! I might do the main band sometime too, we'll see if I get around to it :p Likes and reblogs are appreciated!

MET tidbits from the preview of the expanded edition of the MET artbook:

(Text version, in case it’s useful to anyone. Some of this is known info)

Early concepts of Zaeed toyed with him having an artificial leg as a result of a battle injury, as well as a robo-dog companion, but neither idea was taken past phase one. The leg would have been part of his asymmetrical look, but prosthetics are difficult when applied to movement in games; if Zaeed limped, the expense of a whole new walking animation would have been required 

Concepts of potential breathers for Zaeed were inspired by a welding helmet and a hockey mask, for intimidation. Concepts for his appearance explored various headgears, but ultimately headgear obscured the aged look they were aiming for with his face

They wanted his armor to look like a scavenger had pieced it together out of scrap

In ME3 the Shadow Broker’s ship is found on a planet which rotates very slowly, creating a hot side and a cold side and extreme storms on the narrow stripe in-between. To withstand the blazing sun, the rear of the ship was designed with a massive shield

The original idea for the ship was that Shepard would be able to climb around on the exterior. They created artificial canyons along the ship for the player to explore. They also wanted the exterior to have a sense of movement, which is why they added details like antennas

ME3 MP required tight contained levels that allowed players to have engaging battles regardless of playstyle. Many MP concepts were exciting ideas that hadn’t fit into the main game. Repurposing them allowed artists to return to some of their favorite ideas and develop them further

B(if)tek & Artificial: 1996-2003

The turn of the millennium sparked fears globally of a technological fallout: computers would crash at the changing of a ’99 to a ’00, security systems would fail, the world’s nuclear stockpile would be triggered. The impending panic of inaccurate ordering of automated dating in digital systems spread its fear far and wide and came to be known as the Y2K bug.

On the underside of the world, in Australia, where most things arrive late, distorted or totally different to their original form, there were two women embracing analog and digital technologies in all their glory. Nicole Skeltys and Kate Crawford were better known as B(if)tek, a pioneering electro-femme outfit. Feminism with a wink and a bleep. Ladytron before Ladytron. Nicole’s eccentric solo project was Artificial - Hillbilly House - as she likes to call it.

River Yarra speaks to Nicole about her time as B(if)tek and Artificial paired with a 1hr mélange of the two womens’ music.

•••

River Yarra: I read somewhere that B(if)tek started in Canberra (1.) Can you tell me how that came about? Wikipedia says B(if)tek’s debut album “Sub-Vocal Theme Park” was released on Geekgirl, but wasn’t it on a German psy-trance label? Who is Geekgirl and what was your relation to them?

Nicole Skeltys: In 1996, when Kate and I realised our late night noodlings with analogue machines in my garage in Canberra had accidently produced enough material for an album, we approached our friend Rosie Cross to help us with the costs of pressing and promoting the CD. Rosie Cross was a digital feminist pioneer, she had set up the first on-line e-zine/site/blog for women into tech & tech related arts called Geekgirl. So Subvocal Theme Park was released in Australia thanks to her support and encouragement.  But seems like it was only a few weeks after that, that we got contacted by a German trance label called Nephilim who wanted to release the CD in Germany and Europe. So we agreed to that too.  To this day, I still don’t know how they found out about our obscure independent antipodean release. But I’m glad they did, because Subvocal got a cult following in Europe, and even just a few years ago, it reappeared at top of the electronic charts in Hungary!

RY: Most of your associated acts from the turn of the millennium seem to be males. At that time, were there any other female identifying musicians in your circles?

NS: We were (and I still am) a member of a seminal electronic arts collective in Australia called Clan Analogue.  It was (is) a collective of artists - mostly electronic musicians - who support each other and release own material, put on our own events etc. Yes, there were very few women doing electronic music production & performance back then, we were certainly the most successful in Australia at the time.  But Clan had/has some great women artists & DJs like Sobriquet, Lush Puppy, Bass Bitch, Charlotte Wittingham (in Telemetry Orchestra), Cindi Drennan (in Tesseract). It was only after we’d released our second album 2020 in 1999, that Ladytron hit the scene - and are still going strong today.  I sometimes quip that ‘we were Ladytron before there was Ladytron’.

RY: What do you feel your experiences in the music industry were stacked against your male counterparts?

NS: Because we surrounded ourselves with - and often chose to perform with our friends in the electronic arts community, particularly Clan Analogue, there was a political awareness and aesthetic & intellectual support for what we were doing.  We also had a lot of fun taking the piss out of feminine stereotypes in live performances - we used to dress up as nurses, space-age airline stewardesses, geishas, girl guides etc  and hop around on stage.  So that all worked well for us, but when we stepped outside of that cognoscenti electronica world, we sometimes came face to face with the reality of male dominated rock.  We were one of the support acts for the 1999 Beastie Boys Australian tour, but the first night we appeared on stage in nurses outfits, we got harassed and leered at by the mass of 'right to party’ boys in the front row who didn’t get us (or indeed what the Beastie Boys then stood for).  So we dressed in 'normal’ clothes for the rest of the tour.

RY: In your 2020 album, were you imagining what the future might hold and how close are we to your predictions?

NS: Ha ha! I was asked that last week in an interview for a forthcoming documentary about Australian electronica in the 20th century.  And my response was/is - if you look at the cover of 2020, you see a lovely girl against a retro-futurist 'life in space’ background, looking at her smart watch/ gadget - possibly for inspiration. And I can guarantee, that we are on track to next year looking EXACTLY like that.  Not only that, but back in 1999, there was no 2020 - but very soon, there will be.  How spooky is that?  We were always ahead of our time…

RY: Your 3 albums are all quite different while still retaining the same analog vision. What influenced your genres and what did the change between them look like?

NS: Subvocal was just a glorious outcome of innocent noodlings and experimentation in a Canberra garage, dark, brooding, cinematic, a bit magical.  Canberra feels pretty remote, and we used to play a lot in our own forest parties late at night, so perhaps the music reflects some of that atmosphere. 2020 was more upbeat, perhaps reflecting the fact that by then we were in demand to play at clubs, raves and festival dance stages across the country. Our final album Frequencies Will Move Together was quite heavily influenced by Boards of Canada at the time, and we also had the pleasure of asking some of our local and international friends (like Monolake) to do remixes for the 2nd album in this double album release - thanks to a generous grant from the Australia Council.

RY: You played some live performances on SBS (2.) and won an ARIA (3.) for best dance record in ’99 How did that arise? - In the same year’s hottest 100 the only dance song in the top 10 was Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You”

NS: Yes, we were on TV a fair bit from about 1999 - 2001 - including Saturday morning Video Hits show, which was kind of the Australian equivalent of Top of The Pops! We were nominated for best dance act that year, but didn’t win.  However, that inspired us to set up own own awards to reward artists who were genuinely pushing the aesthetic boundaries, taking risks and had a political conscience. The WINK awards ran for 3 years, and were funded from our own pockets, with some equipment & venue support from the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.  We gave away cash prizes, had a proper ceremonies with hundreds of attendees, & provided each lucky winner with custom made lightbox awards designed by a local craftsman. We got entries from all around the world.  That is one of my proudest achievements, it was rewarding artists for all the right reasons (as opposed to just being commercially successful which is the mainstream music industry’s only criteria of worth), and it made a lot of people very happy.one hour show in March to the theme of women, feminism, and women’s rights…

Canberra (Lands of the Ngunnawal people) is the capital city of Australia. It was decided as such after a bitter feud between the two established metropolitan areas of Australia - Melbourne (Birrarunga - Lands of the Kulin nations); situated on the south eastern coast, and Sydney (Lands of the Eora nation); the eastern coast-  couldn’t agree on which city would best suit the capital. Thus they picked somewhere in the middle.
