ONE MORE NIGHT FNAF AU CHARACTERS - THE SUIT - Part 1

Above is the SpringBonnie suit from my FNAF AU/rewrite called "ONE MORE NIGHT".

More info under the cut!

This is the first of many posts showing off some of the characters designs. I will talk more about the AU itself in other posts, however since this is the first I might as well give a basic rundown, it will be at the bottom of this post. William Afton himself will get his own post but this is just about his suit.

Anyway. This is the SpringBonnie suit from my FNAF rewrite!

I never really liked the completely butt naked suits, it always looked really weird to me. Generally when i draw the other animatronics I stick to the basic canon design (without the clothes), but with Springbonnie I realllyyyy prefer the design with some clothing over the top. idk why, it just makes him look siller.

Also if those things are being worn, I can imagine they're stinking hot during the summer, and I know the three piece suit is probably no better for keeping cool but at least he looks cool while dying of heatstroke. :)

There is also an animatronic version version of the suit of course!

Axe > Knife

The suit (SpringBonnie) was made as a suprise gift for William for the opening (By Henry Emily).

The suit has two varients. The summer varient, and the other one. Specifically in the hotter seasons, the suit is only worn with the head, paws and feet + usually a purple suit.

The other version, is the full suit, which covers the full body (is featured in the small doodle to the left). The full suit sometimes features a bowtie, or an undercoat (just to decorate it a little). And you'd be suprised by how quickly it can be put on. William got springlocked in this version specifically.

When specifically William wears the suit, his hair being too long, pokes out from underneath the head of the suit. It sometimes gets tangled in the springlocks! This makes it difficult to take off, ESPECIALLY if the springlocks are released.

Some more art of him (all a bit old):

---------------------------------------------------

The rewrite, which will be uploaded to Ao3, is split into 4 to 5 parts (it will be put into an folder on Ao3 to make it more organized). The timeline follows off canon for the most part, however most of the events have been organized into a specific timeline. The order of the games specifically that I am following is below.

(if the text is unreadable: FNAF 4 → FNAF 2 + Sister Location → FNAF 1 → FNAF 3 → FNAF 6)

PART ONE is centred before the main six games, and overlaps FNAF 4. It is centred around Henry Emily and William Afton (and their families) during the early stages of their animatronic making endeavours.

The other 3-4 parts have been planned out but I won't talk about them that much right now.

The AU leans a lot more on the characters, their motivations, and their relationships with other characters. It focuses more on telling the story in full than in hints, like the games do.

It is likely not going to be completely accurate to canon, so if the timeline changes with new FNAF releases then big whomp I've already made a timeline and I'm not touching that thing again.

If anyone wants like, a clearer rundown of what the fic is about if you are interested please feel free to comment or go on my asks i really appreciate any interest shown in this project, its annoyingly important to me LMAO

IF YOU READ THIS FAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! like I yap so much, and this is me holding back and ive already written wayyyy to much for a singular tumblr post :( but yeah

If you'd like to see a specific character from FNAF in my AU/Rewrite, feel free to ask!!!!!!!

[goremet-chef]

still have no idea if sotf is just a really really long hyperfixation (its been like HALF A YEAR NOW) or if its actually a special interest now i CANNOT TELL

im thinkin like right. it? I DONT KNOW cuz im not particularly? this s what gets me, im not even focused on it all the time. im really in my cod shit rn but the way it occupies the space in my brain reminds me of my other special interests and how they are just. theyre like a constant force, a constant presence. a solid foundation for the other interests to play

THATS HOW IT FEELS its like no matter i was hyperfixated on atsv and now im fixated on COD men but like. throughout ALL of it, sons of the forest has just been a constant string of thought that i keep coming back to

IDK we'll see even some of my most intense and love filled fixations ended sooner than this so im. IM UNSURE

but considering??? i have a little over 12 sons of the forest ocs and if you consider my other fan character stats, thats only like. THATS A LOT FOR ME? i have been ?? ive made about 30+ SOTF drawings, my entire toyhouse art tab is just full of sotf things i never get this motivated to draw anything i love!!! unless its something real intense. like FNAF. which is my biggest baddest sp/in, you feel me??

[retros-artandstuff]

i wish i could settle on a fandom tbh

since i had a week off from school ive devided to do what anyone would do with that freetime and ✨consume media✨

but naturally thats left me hopping from fandom to fandom

like, ive finally watched the fnaf movie which has brought back my love for the fandom, secret life is still up and running, my hamilton obession keeps coming and going in waves, ive watched scott pilgrim and loved it (the movie, im still working on the show), i finally finished all of kaguya-sama (love is war) including the movie, and now im starting madoka magica. and as if that wasnt enough, i still wanna catch up with qsmp which is going to take awhile considering the lengths of most vods.

this should be fine, but i find that im more motivated when im focused on one fandom. i have more ideas and i actually feel like making fanart. but now that i have more things that im obsessed with, i find that obsession being divided amongst fandoms and its just... idk weird? im less motivated, which is weird because youd think that liking more things would give you more ideas. and when i do feel like making art, once i open the file or pick uo the pencil, i find that my mind has gone blank and i have no ideas.

idk these are just some thoughts ive been having xP

[kandulce]

💗 >.> (you dont have to answer if you dont want to!)

okay unfiltered thoughts GO

my first 'recent' introduction to iz, as of last may. ever since ur fic(s) ive been in this screaming void of wonderful people with awesome theories and art, so thank u for the introduction there <3

ur unique sense of humor is addictive and very fun to interact with! and ur ideas for the iz x fnaf au are very cool! I wish you all the inspiration and motivation for your recent Solar Lunacy kick with the writing and the comics! they all look really fun!

with the blook pak fic theres this one scene that i absoutely CANNOt get out of my head; the one where zim has his emo vamp angst moment then LAUNCHES the sugar packet out into a field of wheat. and in the distance a tiny speck launches up and nabs it. seriously, since october fkdshlkh

and then ofcourse. the paklet au. i think what i like most are the little arcs each story has. like scooby do except a little more anxty and gory. the forest one is still a favorite, as dib and zim's dynamic is set up in a really fun and captivating way! the mirror one is another favorite as it intorduces more of zim's personal issues that have to do with space :OO. Im really excited to see more characters and whatever wild shit they get up to next! I will forever miss dear football, but i think i can cope with the little irken and her vortian dad <3

[miiilowo]

ok but just to let you know- you are 100% not alone. fnaf is like never leaving me. it has become such a big part of who i am now. honestly its kinda amazing

yeah!!!!!!!!!

fnaf was my first ever fandom and its what introduced me to online spaces and it got me watching youtube and whatnot <3 im VERY glad it did id rather die than end up being on straight tiktok or something

it immediately thrust me into more ..i guess alt??? communities (edgy teenagers in 2015 w invader sim pfps) and i ended up learning about LGBT stuff. because of fnaf. shoved me into a whole new world that id continue to fester in for years and years and still havent left. it illustrated to me that i love horror as well, and its weird to think i used to never consume scary content because thats like a HUUUUUGE part of who i am now

most importantly though it got me really into art. like, id been drawing before then, but going on youtube and seeing fnaf speedpaints made me wanna get good at it. it motivated me to take it seriously. whenever i make speedpaints nowadays i think fondly about how proud little 9 year old me would be of me lmao

i dont really have any negative memories associated with it. theres a very specific emotion i feel when consuming old fnaf content (namely fan songs i used to listen to) that i cannot really begin to describe. its not quite nostalgia, its not quite happiness, and i literally only ever feel it when im lookin at old fnaf shit. It's the emotion i felt consistently when i was into fnaf for the first time back in 2015 and ive coined it "The Fnaf Emotion" because i literally never feel it outside of fnaf. i know one other person whos experienced this but i dont know if theres anybody else. please. someone help me find a word for this shit

even ignoring that i just......i dunno man, its good! the idea was original, and scott cawthon poured his whole heart and soul into these games. it definitely shows. i miss him. i might criticize the new entries in the series pretty aggressively but its entirely because i love the franchise so much that i have high standards for it. it means a lot to me and i really want it to continue being good

fnaf basically set me on course to be the person that i am today and i 100% believe that without it my life would be entirely different. its like the biggest example of the butterfly effect in my life that i can think of its fucking insane

[snazzamazing]

Most of you have noticed already but there has been a huge lack of me posting recently. I have been having one of the most toughest artist times for a while. I've in this mood where I would be having major art block bit lots of motivation at the same time. When those two moods combine into one, it just makes one big mess of chaotic emotions. It's been going on for a long time. I'm stuck with my art at the moment. I'm just going to come clean and say it but doing art lately has been feeling like a tight and complicated stressful schedule for me. For months and months I've been having a mindset where I feel like I NEED to be posting constantly because I fear that if I dont, people would leave me. I fear that my account would just die and that my content wouldn't be relevant anymore. I hate that feeling. My art has been seeming like it's only meant to be posted to show that I'm active. My text posts or me answering questions now made me realize that I'm not even doing those for fun anymore! I'm only posting them to let people know that I'm still here. It really does seem like I'm working for some big company and that I have to post my work constantly and have to make sure it's all coming out perfectly, and its stressful. Now this is nobody's fault, this is just how I feel now.

I like to look back at some really old posts/art of mine to remember what it was like to feel more free. I miss the feeling of not caring about people's opinions on my interests. I miss the feeling of posting whatever I wanted and posting whenever I wanted. I want to go back to that and I am for sure going to work hard on getting back to that. I've honestly have been so scared to post art now. I miss posting about ships I like, about stupid comics, about my silly fnaf ideas, about my other interests but people's judgments and opinions all of a sudden matter to me now. It has started being that way ever since my account started getting bigger and bigger. I would get attacked for bringing up a thing I like or a thing I'm into and it really scared me and made me not want to share my opinions or interests ever again. I absolutely despised constantly having that feeling. That all ends now. I want to be down to earth with everyone because ya know, I'm human too.

Okay now let's talk about what I wanna do with my art. My art has been feeling repetitive and bland to me. I dont want that. For the past time I would mention stuff like "posting this soon!" Or "get ready for a new post Tomorrow!" And then never post it ever. Why? Because plans dont work out all the time. I only post art I'm satisfied with so if my art takes forever to post or just gets cancelled on posting then that's that. I do feel bad, but I'd rather have art up that makes me happy too. The fnaf 2 art I said that I was gonna post? Yeah, not happening. It's not turning out as I wanted so sorry for missing out on the fnaf 2 anniversary:(

Speaking of fnaf, I am still going to continue drawing it. But I've been wanting to draw other content too for the longest time. The reason why I dont post other content more is because nobody is interested in it. It doesnt get as much attention as my fnaf art. That used to not bother me but the thing is I cant keep doing fnaf content forever so I care now. I want to post more about my ocs and their wacky world. I want to post about other fandoms, even fandoms that I'm not even into! I have been dging to post overwatch but held back on that because the whole blizzard controversy happened and I was scared that people would hate me to post overwatch at such a bad timing like that. I've been into overwatch for years and have been wanting to post art about it but didnt because I was very self conscious on my human style. But now that I figured it out, things went all over the place. For those of you who dont know, I've also had an overwatch blog years ago but deleted it later cause I didnt like how the blog turned out. I am going to post overwatch art in the future cause ive enjoyed the game for years now. What blizzard did was terrible and I'm not on board with it so please dont hate me, I just really like the OW characters. ANYWAY, I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK AND RANTED OFF TRACK BUT YEAH. I WANT TO EXPAND MY ART A LITTLE.

And last thing. I've said it before, but I HATE feeling like my art has to be on a schedule where theres deadlines and where I have to post constantly. I'm having mini burnouts. So to all those people who sent messages about me not posting anymore or about my account dying, I want to let you know that my account is still alive and will have posts. Please understand that if I am taking forever to post something new, I am trying to figure things out. I am trying to figure out time management for school and art. I am trying to figure out things on my art style. I am trying to figure out new ideas for big projects I wanna do. I am trying to figure myself out and I dont need to be rushed. I am an artist and I am free to do what I want and post whenever I want. Art is for fun and for stressing myself out.

THERE, THERE I FINALLY RANTED IT ALL OUT. It was an extremely long rant, but I really needed to get it off my chest. Again, nobody is at fault here and nobody is forcing my wack behavior to be like this, it's just some thoughts I need to get out of my head. You are all important and matter to me so I have to be honest with everyone. I cant keep hiding away. I'm just some teen wacko girl that wants to draw characters and be friends with you cool weirdos :)

Love you all💖

Edit: I am so sorry if my rant made no sense and is all over the place or if it somehow upset people, that wasnt my intent. Its 2am and I'm all panicky so I had to rant sO THAT I CAN SLEEP

[clownkiwi]

so, after having finished the sweatbox documentary and processing everything i’ve just witnessed, i’ve come to learn something and yearn something (putting a keep reading here because this is a long post)

the creative process is actually a lot of fun!!!

for the longest while, i considered classes like math & social studies to be my favorite classes when i was in high school. but now that i’m in college, i can say without a doubt that my favorite class would have to be creative writing

i think creative writing is my favorite class to take because my senior year of high school was the one where i was the most creative. i was constantly drawing, constantly making new characters, new lore, new stories, i was so, so creative then. so many things to get inspired by, and i believe that was the time when i started work on my webcomic superlove.

and now i yearn back to those days. those were like, my most exciting days i can confidently say. i was going into my own person & identity, i was creatively fulfilled because i didnt have as many classes then (besides like creative classes), thus i had more time to work on fleshing out my characters, my stories, and even working on the first draft for the first issue. from january 2019-may 2019, i had been working on the first issue of superlove, and i couldnt have been anymore happier and fulfilled then.

of course, i lose my lil notebook which had all of my work in it, and then i started to lose the creative energy to get back into superlove. dont get me wrong, i still LOVE LOVE LOVE superlove, and hey!!! i even found it, so i could start working on it again. but also, im now too anxious to getting back into superlove because i havent worked on this webcomic, on these stories, with these characters that i loved so much in such a long time. and i thought i could get back into the groove of it with superlove mini, which were like, short comedic comics i made for my colleges newspaper. but, i kinda stopped when the pandemic hit, because i just lost all my creative juices then. and of course, im currently not part of my colleges newspaper anymore, because im pretty sure its not gonna b a thing for this semester?? or even for the next semester.

though i was happy to introduce everyone to chloe & lauren, and from what i’ve been told people do like them both, which i’m glad!!! because that’s what superlove is gonna be entirely focused on, their relationship.

but now its been so long since, i havent really had the energy to create anything new, or even the inspiration or willpower to do anything new. this year had been terrible with emotionally taxing breakups, drama that happens here and there, and of course, with the energy that 2020 radiated as well. im very lucky whenever i do pick up my pen and tablet & start & finish a new drawing on my laptop. i still have pieces on here that i’ve only started & haven’t finished yet. hell, ive had ideas that i want to put to paper, but i’ve never got the motivation to yet.

which is why i got happy & excited to work on my friends fnaf au!!! it was alot of fun coming up with great ideas, bouncing off of each others ideas, piggybacking off of our own ideas, bringing stronger ideas & characterizations to the table, its just been so much fun!!! but, because of streaming (which, ive been able to get creative with, but at a lesser extent) and school (and the anxiety thats been permeating from school), i haven’t really been able to draw anything. i think the last thing i’ve drawn outside of my sonas & art for streams would have to be like, my nightmarensona & my friends fnaf au protag

idk, ig i just miss the creative process alot and wish i could work on a creative project im interested in and confident in and wont lose energy for is all

[golden-teddie]

I’m a little nervous about posting this here coz its going to be quite a bit of personal stuff being said, and I know that sort of thing is frowned upon so I apologise but this is something ive wanted to get off my chest for a while now so here goes.

I’m going to admit… These past few months have been the best in my entire life and I am the happiest I ever have been for years.

About 6-7 months ago, I was extremely miserable and listless, no confidence in myself, no confidence in my art; i actually hated drawing coz i was so demotivated, and drained of energy because of the dead end job I was in at the time. I didn’t even want to get out of bed half the time, that’s how crappy I felt.

But now I’m a lot more positive about things , have much better self confidence, I’m hell of a lot more happier with my art and actually WANT to draw, and i have a job that has a promising future and it never gets boring once. I have a few people/groups to thank for this and I’m going to list them below with reasons why (going clockwise from the drawing but saving the actual first one of them til last :P)

1. FNAF fandom - Now some of you may groan at this, but this was the first ‘proper’ fandom i was in back when it was super popular, and it was real good fun and i felt accepted! Most of them are lovely people and its got some pretty sweet artwork.

2. Jacksepticeye - This loveable Irish bean is so energetic and positive regardless of how he feels and i respect him so much for that and his content is always entertaining and keeps me company sometimes when I’m home alone or finishing work early, kind of tried to ‘adopt’ his mentality from him (in terms of being more positive not screaming at games lol) The community for the majority is super nice and friendly almost all the time too!

3. Itsmellslikehonor and his fans/subs - This awesome guy is really cool Youtuber, despite being mainly FNAF related and GMOD content, but he always finds time play with his fans and subs on GMOD and that’s really awesome, and its so much fun! It keeps me company whenever I feel lonely at night too, takes my mind off things. If you’re a BIG FNAF or GMOD fan I’d recommend subscribing to him :)

4. FinestElite, Pocket-the-time-lord, and Xiamtheferret - These amazing artists are the main reason I took up drawing again, their individual and unique art styles are so inspiring and motivating and they’re all really nice people too, go follow them if you’re not familiar with them already! FinestElite is both on Tumblr and FA (his FA is FinneyFox though I believe) Pocket-the-time-lord has Tumblr as well, and Twitter (by the name @lpsoneill) and Xiamtheferret has FA (don’t know about anywhere else)

And finally, each and every single person on the Amino groups I’m a part of, specifically the Furry Amino. The communities are so welcoming and supportive, and everyone’s art and I MEAN everyone’s is really good and inspiring to look at! When I made my first post about requests on the Furry Amino I was seriously shocked and completely overwhelmed over the amount of responses I got within a day of posting it, I wasn’t even expecting to get 1 person asking let alone 10-20! And the compliments I got from people really made me feel like my art mattered and it’s given me the encouragement I needed to draw at a more consistent basis.

To wrap this all up, I don’t think I can ever say this enough; Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Each and every single person/group I’ve mentioned mean the absolute world to me for getting my life to a point to where I’m actually happy with it. Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

(Well done if you read this whole thing xD sorry i know it’s a bit rambly and some of you may think “ew. A furry.” especially in the JSE, ISLH and FNAF communities, but I wanted to make sure I voiced my sincere and genuine thanks to everyone <3 Thank you for reading and I hope you have a lovely rest of your day/evening/whatever)
