A FNaF AU idea that I need to get off my chest + a "timeline" with ages and years
There's a lot of role-swapping going on. Michael swaps with Elizabeth, Norman swaps with Sammy who is Charlie's twin brother from the books. Then Michael swaps again, but with William which means that I have included Miketrap because I always found that theory very interesting and cool despite its flaws. Mrs. Afton swaps with Elizabeth in that she's the main antagonist in Sister Location.
Everyone will possess something, excluding William and Henry. Mrs. Afton is Ballora, Michael is Springtrap, Elizabeth is Foxy, Norman is Fredbear, and Charlie is the Puppet of course. Sammy could end up being Shadow Freddy. I promise, everything will make sense once I explain what happens.
Few things I feel like I should mention:
This AU only follows FNaF 1-6, meaning Special Delivery, Help Wanted, and Security Breach DON'T exist here. UCN might be included because I like the idea of a fabricated hell for William to continuously suffer in.
The Toys' facial recognition and criminal data-base aren't a thing at all here. I feel that goes too far, considering the technological limitations.
None of the Funtimes are programmed to kill at all. Like what I mentioned, it feels way too out of line given the era and the limitations they would have back then. Also, I just had this idea to have CBPW be William's attempt branching out using animatronics of his very own design without Henry in the picture.
The Nightmares aren't real in any way whatsoever, not even through illusion discs, hence why they are called Nightmares.
The Fredbear plush isn't a listening device or a walkie-talkie for William to spy on his son with, it's just a toy.
Golden Freddy isn't just a re-colored Freddy. He's a broken and abandoned Fredbear, the very same one that committed the Bite.
Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental is NOT a bunker hidden underground. It's a fully-fledged, circus-themed attraction that opened after Circus Baby's Pizza World closed due to supposed gas leaks. To add onto that, it's also William's last ditch attempt to create a successful restaurant using his own animatronic designs and not Henry's.
Regarding the characters, William is a very mediocre dad here. He's certainly not the best, but he does try before it all goes downhill. Most of the MCI and DCI are teenagers aside from a select few. I'll try to give everybody a sort of importance to the story no matter how minor it might be. Admittedly, though, the Bite Victim here doesn't have much to do until the very end.
I know Fritz possesses Foxy in canon and, honestly, it doesn't feel right replacing him like this, so I have three ideas about what to do with him. He either dies in 1993 in the FNaF 1 location and possesses the Classic version of Foxy (but that seems lame and a bit convenient when I think about it), OR he inhabits Foxy alongside Elizabeth somehow. I guess he could also just not be a victim of William at all here, although that seems quite boring. I'm not sure how I'd be able to pull any of those ideas off. I don't know if I even want to, but I'll figure it out eventually.
Elizabeth is my favorite Afton and Foxy is my favorite animatronic, so I decided to combine them. If anyone sees this at all, I wouldn't mind criticism because I need this AU to make sense at least.
Now, we start in 1980.
Michael is 13. Elizabeth, Charlie, and Sammy are 11. Norman is 5.
Fredbear's Family Diner and Circus Baby's Pizza World exist simultaneously. Funtime Chica is also here as a part of Baby's band.
The same thing happens where Elizabeth goes to see Circus Baby, but instead of getting snatched, Michael comes to be an ass and tries to steal her ice cream. They have a back-and-forth fight until Baby starts acting out due to being so new. Michael is accidentally pulled into her stomach hatch with the ice cream, then ends up with severe head trauma. This leaves him a coma (for, specifically, 5 years). However, Elizabeth at her young age thinks Michael is dead.
After that incident, William closes the restaurant and takes his son to the hospital. At the level of decent father, he does care about his kids here, except he will forever be reminded that one of his own robots nearly killed Michael. This further drives home the fact that Henry's work will always be better than his. Meanwhile, Elizabeth feels endlessly guilty for the situation her big bro is in now. She blames herself for Michael's comatose state, and it all spirals from there.
Moving onto 1983 (Specifically, May 13).
Michael is 16. Elizabeth, Charlie, and Sammy are 14. Norman is 8.
Although Circus Baby's is closed, Fredbear's continues on for 3 years up until the day of the Bite. The very first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has also been opened some time after Circus Baby's closing.
Michael's absence has a great effect on Elizabeth. He might have been a bully to Norman, but he's still her brother and she loves him. His absence leaves a giant hole in her life where he used to be, since he's so much easier to relate to than Norman is. She kind of tries to emulate him in her own way. She uses the same Foxy mask and becomes a bit of a delinquent like he was.
Here's the thing, she doesn't target Norman (not a lot of the time, anyway). She targets the Emily twins, Charlie and Sammy. Mostly Sammy, though.
It kind of follows the mini games of FNaF 4. Counting down the days until their birthday party.
Elizabeth uses the mask to scare Sammy, either at his house when she comes over or at the restaurant while their fathers are at work. She locks him in the parts & service room. Headless Foxy is replaced by a stuffed bunny named Theodore, who is Charlie's toy from the books. Charlie is Sammy's version of 'Psychic Friend Fredbear' in that she guides and comforts him throughout the week.
Charlie stands up for herself and her brother whenever Elizabeth tries something, yet she doesn't go as far as telling Henry about the bullying because they were best friends. She's sympathetic, almost to a fault.
Sammy is the opposite. He can't help but hate Elizabeth, even when he knows why she's the way she is. He feels betrayed since they all used to be close, but he's also sensitive and a bit of a pushover, so he receives the brunt of the bullying.
The birthday comes around and Sammy gets chomped by Fredbear, thanks to Elizabeth. Charlie is rightfully mad, but she has very conflicting feelings about their friendship now. Henry is distraught, but I feel like he'd be a little more willing to understand. Elizabeth has to live with Michael's condition and Sammy's death on her shoulders.
Fast forward to 1985.
Michael is 18. Elizabeth and Charlie are 16. Norman is 10.
After the Bite, Fredbear's closes. William and Henry now have to manage the newest location they have opened, which is Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. This restaurant houses the unwithered animatronics.
This is also the year that Michael wakes up from his coma. Only problem is, neither Elizabeth nor Norman will be there to witness it.
Elizabeth and Charlie's relationship has deteriorated a lot. Charlie struggles to forgive Elizabeth for what happened to Sammy because while she still believes there's good in her, she also thinks she probably shouldn't. Meanwhile, Elizabeth is too emotionally constipated to properly approach Charlie.
Elizabeth watches the three kids lock her out in the rain. A drunken William pulls up, kills her in the alleyway, then leaves her there. The Puppet comes out looking for her and breaks down, Charlie possesses it.
One of the reasons William kills Charlie in the first place is to basically get back at Henry.
Since Mrs. Afton exists here as an actual character, I have this idea where Henry and Mrs. Afton have this plan to get the kids away from William because they know something is wrong with him; they just aren't sure what it is. William hears of this eventually. An argument breaks out between them. It's emotional and tense and volatile, so much so that an overly rash shove from William cracks her skull against the furniture.
After the fight, William buries Mrs. Afton's body in the woods. Just a strange mound of dirt to those who don't know who's in it. Ballora starts acting a little too alive later on. Ballora, the one animatronic who had been in the room with them when his wife died.
However, Charlie's death is one that William sort of regrets in a way. He had gotten drunk after finding out about Henry and Mrs. Afton, but Charlie was in the wrong place at the wrong time. William acts on his anger towards the conspiracy against him and his long festering jealousy of Henry, taking Charlie's life in the process. A 'spur of the moment' kind of thing.
That marks the start of William's downfall and descent into these destructive habits that tear the whole family apart as time goes by. William begins lashing out, and it doesn't matter who's around to see it because he will go after them. His children suffer under his watch. At worst, he's violent. At best, he's neglectful.
Elizabeth and Henry don't find out that Charlie's dead until the next day.
Some time after Charlie, William targets other children to get rid of. The murders of the MCI take place over a span of weeks or months. First is Susie, followed by Gabriel, then Jeremy, and ending with Cassidy.
During Jeremy's turn, William invites Elizabeth along for the process in hopes that she will help him with it. Elizabeth disagrees and tries to stop him from harming Jeremy. In the end, William goes too far out of control. He ends up killing both Jeremy and Elizabeth. In a bit of a panic, William hides them in Bonnie and Foxy respectively.
Next up is Norman.
William becomes more unstable, drunk, and shaken up after Elizabeth's death. He's basically a ticking time bomb. Nobody is safe, everyone is at risk around him.
He's working late one night at the restaurant with Norman since he can't leave him home alone. He continues drinking there too when he's supposed to work. Norman keeps bothering him because literally both of his siblings are gone and he doesn't know what's happening. Norman continuously asks him these questions, but William reacts too explosively and kills Norman in a drunken rage.
I don't know yet whether Norman should possess the Fredbear plush or the animatronic, so that will be undecided until I figure it out.
In my mind, William's relationship with his kids is quite complicated. Michael's near death experience caused by one of his own machines makes William real possessive/protective of them. But even if he cares for his children, he doesn't exactly understand them. They clash until William kills them, too. However, I'm not sure how to make that last point exist in a way that's sensible and believable.
After the kids are reported missing and an investigation starts, Henry closes the restaurant.
By the year of 1987.
Both families are in shambles. Henry lost both of his children, and his wife divorced him after Charlie's death. William has to deal with a confused but awake Michael, and his wife died by his own hand.
To account for Henry's absence throughout the games, I'd say he was either convicted for the MCI wherein William would frame him for it, or he simply went off the radar until Pizza Sim. William also becomes quite recluse, only active for work because he's managing both CBEAR and FFP #2 all on his own now while he plans his next move.
This basically follows the same format as the game.
Like the mini-game suggests, William returns to murder another set of 5 victims. I myself believe that the Toy animatronics could probably be possessed one way or another, so these 5 victims will be Charlie's friends from the novels. John, Carlton, Lamar, Jessica, and Marla.
Like the book, this set of victims are just a bunch of teenagers who snuck into the pizzeria to explore and William happened to be there.
The night guard, Jeremy Fitzgerald, is on shift when the teens break in. They're caught by him and Jeremy calls William to inform him of the intrusion. Oddly enough, instead of getting the police, William says he will handle the situation himself. He sends Jeremy off, disables the cameras, puts on the yellow suit, and murders the group of teens.
Jeremy comes back on Night 6 after the murders and as Phone Guy says, none of them are acting right. He's moved to the day shift, but he's bitten during a birthday party by a possessed Mangle.
Alongside more disappearing kids in another Freddy's establishment, Mangle causing the Bite is the final cherry on top. The place closes for good.
The Toys and the Withereds are kept in a storage place or a warehouse in case Fazbear Ent. would want to reuse parts from them. However, William is still the owner of FE. He decides to have the Withereds remade into the FNaF 1 gang and the Toys fully scrapped. The Puppet is moved to the FNaF 1 location later on, but Elizabeth (and maybe Fritz, too) escapes to find her father.
Further on into 1993.
This is the FNaF 1 gang and the night guard is Mike Schmidt. Mike is his own character. Just a normal guy who unknowingly signed up for this nightmare of a job.
The "Follow Me" mini-game still takes place, but there is a different purple guy this time.
After 5 full years of comatose, Michael is finally awake.
The guy is lost and has a lot of catching-up to do, even more so when it hits him that his siblings and his mother both aren't around at all anymore. Whenever, he tries asking William about it, all he gets is a vague, half-hearted dismissal. He gets more and more suspicious until William asks him to go destroy a couple of animatronics at a abandoned restaurant that closed down just recently.
It's similar to SL wherein William tells him to go somewhere to do something. While Michael is alone in the back room, the souls come after him. He puts on the Spring Bonnie suit in a panic and the springlocks go off. It's the same situation as SL where they thought Michael was William and he suffered for it.
Due to the springlock incident, William doesn't hear from Michael, but he does discover that the animatronics have been dismantled either way. Given that he's still the main guy in charge of FE, he eventually finds out about a springlock suit locked in the backroom. He doesn't really know it's Michael until it's relocated to Fazbear's Fright.
Michael goes through what William did in canon. Being locked in the back room for years until he's found and placed in Fazbear's Fright as an attraction.
Later on in 1998.
This year is when SL would take place in my AU since I don't think there's a set year in the canon timeline.
A random night guard will take Michael's place here, although I'm tempted to have them be Vanessa. They will be the one the Funtimes use to escape the place.
It follows the flow of the game. They go to this place, perform their tasks, get scared by the robots sometimes while weird things happen, then they leave. However, there are some specific parts of the game that I would change because of the fact that it's not Elizabeth who is orchestrating the whole thing. It's her mother, Mrs. Afton.
The "sentience" of the animatronics already comes from the victims of '87. When William injects them with this other batch of Remnant he got from the Classics, it combines the MCI with the DCI. It gives them these personalities made up of two sets of teens/kids. Also, Funtime Freddy and Bon-Bon are supposed to be separate entities also possessed by two different people.
Mrs. Afton communicates with the other souls in the Funtimes and forms a plan to escape the facility. That means Circus Baby isn't exactly the big mastermind behind the whole plan to get out, she only plays a part in it as they all do.
In Night 4, Ballora still gets the scooper and Circus Baby talks to the guard. However, Baby will have a different personality, given that she's possessed by two victims now instead of Elizabeth. As in, two distinct individuals are speaking just with the same voice.
In Night 5, it's mostly the same. However, after the guard 'fixes' Circus Baby and sends her to the scooping room, their shift ends right there.
The ending will be a little different here. So far, I have two ideas as to what I'd like it to be. Instead of getting scooped, it has the night guard, whoever they might be, being threatened by the Funtimes into letting them leave the facility as Ennard. Or, the Funtimes just follow them out all sneaky and leave the guard alone. Either way, they get out and go find William.
Some time in 2023.
Michael has been transferred to Fazbear's Fright as an attraction after he was found. With him, is yet another random night guard. This one might be Tape Girl.
The fact that Michael is Springtrap here changes a few things. Michael is more confused in the way he will act as Springtrap. Most of his life has been loneliness aside from the company of William. He was isolated from his siblings, friends, basically everybody for years. When he's finally let out, he dies in a springlock suit and is left for dead.
In a gameplay setting, Springtrap appears uncertain and scared when he shows up in the cameras. I'd say he's a little harder to lure with the Balloon Boy voice lines. He's more obvious in the cameras, in contrast to William's hiding and sneaking.
He's desperate to find help, and the only way he thinks he can get it is through the guard. He doesn't know what happened to his family, where they are, or if they're even alive. He's worried since he's missed out on so much.
Outside of the gameplay perspective, Michael looks for information behind the scenes. There would most likely be some references throughout the attraction to past events that he wasn't present for. Maybe some of the employees talk about rumors regarding Freddy's bad history. Perhaps there is news about the Bites or records of the missing kids, so he eventually gets his hands on those.
William finds the location and comes in to burn the place down. His reasoning for doing so is to sort of erase the history of the past Freddy's locations. Everything in the attraction is directly related to his wrongdoings, so he needs to destroy it immediately. Michael confronts him about everything he knows, but William starts the fire before he can do anything. Michael escapes with half an arm, and he roams wherever to find his father.
As for what occurs in FNaF 6,
Henry takes the brave volunteer's place in the fake restaurant. He manages the pizzera, does the salvaging, and then burns the place down when everything comes together.
As shown in the game, Henry will have to slowly build this pizzeria from the ground up until he finally has everybody right where he needs them to be.
When it comes to the salvaging, there will be obvious changes. Like instead of Scrap Baby, he's faced with a very old and very withered Foxy from way back when the first ever Freddy Fazbear's opened. Scraptrap is basically Springtrap but doubly worse for wear and missing half an arm. Molten Freddy is now just Ennard with Mrs. Afton in the driver's seat. Lefty is more or less the same since I like his design.
The completion of tasks later in the night is also going to be altered a little. With Henry as the protagonist here, no one really has the motive to attack him unless they don't know that it's him.
Until William comes along.
The news of an unauthorized Freddy's establishment drags him out of the hermit life he's been living for the past few decades. He goes to check out the place and falls right into Henry's trap. Now, everyone from the victims to the murderer himself is in position for Henry to end it all, setting the restaurant ablaze and burning it to the ground. The souls are set free and William is sent to hell.
Anyways.
That concludes my AU for now. I think this was just excessive info-dumping, but I was way too eager to get this idea out of my head. If anyone sees this, let me know your thoughts because I'd really like criticism and more ideas.

I was trying to think of why this made sense to me- the fact that the mimic is intended to be a larger threat but Ennard still had more impact/presence. I think the biggest issue is buildup, or lack of.
I mean, in sister location you spend the whole game avoiding the animatronics while also causing or witnessing the horrible things they go through, you're able to feel some level of sympathy for them. Though for some people that may just make them even more of a threat considering they obviously want revenge. Even though you were being lied to when led there, you get a sense that you still know these characters through the interactions you've had with them, genuine or not. Everything that happened up to this point still matters and gives you a reason to think back.
As much as I have tried to make theories or analysis on the mimic based on the lines we're given.. It doesn't really do the same. The majority of its voice lines as gregory (so basically all of its voice lines..) are just irrelevant "do this thing for me" that's completely skippable in the long run. Sure it's pretending to be a scared kid but we can't really gather any of its own emotions through that because not only are we unsure if there's any genuine thoughts there, but the dialogue focuses so closely on the goal we get no real characterization out of it like 90% of the time.
At least when Baby (or at least her voice?) was guiding you she still had moments where she gave small information, or sarcastic remarks, etc. Things that not only build the story but also show how the character reacts to these subjects. Her seemingly passive aggressive attitude towards Ballora, how passive aggressive she acts towards Mike on Night 4 in the spring lock suit, sure she tells you your goal and the game mechanics, but she also does so much more than that. I know people tend to complain about how Sister location is like 70% dialogue (or more depending how biased you are on the subject) but that dialogue at least serves a purpose! There's still plenty to be analyzed there and work off of, not only do we get pieces of lore from it.. (baby's thoughts on the scooper, the mention of the springlock suit and it "not being used the way it was meant to be used," her dialogue about the day Elizabeth died, characterization through her tone of voice or sarcastic remarks, etc!) But depending on how far you look into it you can get at least a baseline understanding of the characters and their goals.
But the mimic..? Look, you can check the post I've made about it before, I've tried analyzing his voice lines to see if they hold any purpose beyond just guiding you, and honestly? I'm grasping at straws on most of it. A lot of it is pretty irrelevant, I think I only found maybe 4-6 voice lines that matter? And I definitely had to do some reaching to find any potential ties to if anything the mimic said mattered to itself or to gregory, and while I stand by my analysis of it potentially giving us more information about what happened to Gregory down there.. not only does the dialogue barely give us any new information that the environmental clues didn't (backpack, handprint on the vent, etc.) But it doesn't develop the mimic. It develops Gregory. Which, hello, Gregory's one of my favorite characters lol, I'd be happy about that, but for the mimic itself? That's really bad. It makes it feel like everything you've done up until this point is meaningless development-wise. Once it's revealed you're not saving Gregory, it's kinda like, well, what was the point? I'm not talking generally- obviously the mimic being freed is supposed to be bad, but my point is that there's not a lot to look back on and feel like it served a purpose towards building up the ending. Sure you can look back and say "Oh yeah that makes sense, Gregory was kind of whining a lot more than Security Breach." but that's not really enough to justify it? Going into this a LOT of people were already theorizing it wasn't Gregory. Popular opinion at the time seemed to be that it was Vanny or Glitchtrap or Burntrap or whatever. That it tied into a previous villian using Gregory as a lure to get a new victim, someone else to trap into their plans. And that was cool honestly, I might've even preferred it! At least Glitchtrap has BEEN built up as a villain (I mean, I wish he had more screentime and all, but there was development even if it could've been expanded on.) and whether or not the Princess Quest ending is canon it still could've worked, using Cassie as a replacement for Vanessa. Though it may have been a bit repetitive plot-wise, it was a cool idea at least, besides it's not too different from what people are theorizing the current ending means.. Okay, i got sidetracked a bit. Point is, the theories people had at the time, they led somewhere! the twist of it not being the real Gregory isn't really enough to justify all this because 1. most people saw it coming and 2. even if you didn't see it coming, you can't really look back on the experience and feel like there's any new information to be given from it.. For there to be so much buildup for this, for most people to already be actively wondering what was using Gregory's voice and why, only for it to be.. a character the majority of the fanbase would be unaware of due to it only existing within the books up until this point. For anyone who didn't read the books (which is most people) this reveal was likely going to be unsatisfying, to say the least. Hoping for an answer and only getting more questions in return. That's not new for this series, sure, but it can be a bit disappointing at times. Depending on who you are and how that kind of ending makes you feel, I think most people can at least agree the way it was executed would've left people with mixed reactions.
Even if you did read the books, it still didn't really answer anything, did it? Sure, okay, the mimic is here. Now what? Is it the same mimic with the same backstory as the books? Are we gonna be twisting the backstory from the book universe to the games universe? What does any of this have to do with the story that was built up so far? From my perspective, it seems just as out of nowhere as if Eleanor was dropped into the next game. Most people would only know her as the villain of one specific story in the books, and for a one-off villain to suddenly be inserted into the plot instead of the villain we've actually been fighting this whole time.. it just comes out of nowhere, it really does. And all that gets twisted up even more with the question of how the mimic connects to glitchtrap. It's either replacing a pre-established villain and saying "it was this guy we know next to nothing about the whole time!" which is just really unsatisfying because it once again feels like everything up until this point has meant nothing, because there is no solid connection to tie the mimic to glitchtrap in a way that makes it feel, y'know, connected? They feel like two separate entities, whether they are or not, it's still unsatisfying. And even if they are two separate entities, then it's killing off Glitchtrap, a pre-established villain that posed a solid threat with semi-understandable motives.. for this wild card that hasn't been established whatsoever within the games. It feels like killing off glitchtrap in the middle of his arc because people got tired of him before he even got to do much. It felt like glitchtrap was still building up in my opinion, only for them to suddenly get rid of him. Once again, it makes everything feel pointless. I think the TLDR here is that Ennard served a purpose, even if the things they did were to trick you, it wasn't for nothing. You could still get pieces of lore, characterization, and motives from your previous interactions. But the mimic doesn't have any of that. It has basically no established motive besides "use Gregory's voice to let me out" and then what? Get out to the larger world? just kill people for fun or get revenge on specific people? What does it want from there? We don't know, which makes it difficult to care. On top of all that its previous interactions do feel like they were for nothing, there's very little to be analyzed from them and it just feels like a waste. It was all a trick, so, why does any of it matter? There's very little to be taken away from it beyond the fact that it's fake.

Family Reunion: 40 years later.
Michael winds up getting taken while he's asleep, and brought to an alley way. What he expected to be a murder waiting to happen, turns into a family reunion he had no idea he needed...
This fanfic is for that anon that suggested this Scrap Family Reunion idea! Here's the link!
So Sweetheart, wherever you are, I hope you enjoy!
Michael was hanging out in his apartment, cleaning some things and fixing a couple items here and there. It was often a messy apartment that always had more broken things than fixed things. Though the apartment was crappy and he had the money for a better one, Michael actually didn’t mind fixing things. You could say that Michael had become ‘Henry’s special nephew’ since the moment Michael told him he had signed up for an apprenticeship. Though he found that building wasn’t really his thing, he found that engineering and some circuit-building was fun and doable.
Ever since Michael found out about the fate of his sister, Michael did as his father said and put his sister back together. But now his sister was off doing who knows what with the funtimes, and Michael was struggling to find her. But even though he attempted to find him, he knew that Elizabeth had likely found his Dad already and would be back to let him know of his state and whereabouts. How long that would take however...was a mystery.
Michael groaned and wrapped his arms around himself before pulling the blanket more onto himself. He felt really chilly in his bedroom. Did the heater break again?! God, he hoped not. Michael groaned and got himself up to check his room heater. But he quickly yelped and covered his body when he realized he wasn’t in his bed.
The man wasn’t even at home! He was on the side of the road!
No wonder he was freezing!
Jeremy quickly doubled his comforter and wrapped it around his half-naked body. Everyone knows that a man often sleeps in their underwear. But the fact that he was no longer in his house, made him really regret his decisions.
“Hello Michael.” A familiar voice said.
Michael let out a breath of relief. It was Elizabeth! Elizabeth was okay!
“Elizabeth! Thank goodness...Come out, I wanna see you!” Michael reacted gratefully.
But the bit of excitement that Michael had, immediately vaporized the moment he took a look at the animatronic. Circus baby looked completely unrecognizable! Like a completely separate person...This wasn’t the Elizabeth he grew to recognize...This was a stranger!
“Elizabeth...I…”
“A lot has happened since I left…” she said. “I can put myself together on my own now.” She showed Michael the hand that she replaced with a claw. “I have real hair now.” She showed him the orange wires and flicked them like any regular girl would flick their hair.
Michael nodded very hesitantly. He was still trying to get used to what she looked like.
“I brought you clothes.” Elizabeth told him as she handed him folded clothes.
“We should’ve gotten a sweater for him.” someone else said.
“His blanket will work just fine, Daddy.” Elizabeth replied.
Michael widened his eyes. His father is here too?!
The ruined bunny animatronic walked out of the shadows and revealed himself to Michael. When Michael saw Baby, she was completely unrecognizable. But his father...was somehow a little more recognizable in his much more ruined state. It probably helped that the bunny mask had rotted away so much that a lot more of his father’s skull was able to be seen better.
Michael took a few minutes to get dressed, and comprehend both his family members brand new appearances. It felt long. But eventually, Michael was dressed and wrapped in the blanket.
“Now Liz.” The bunny told her in a sour voice.
Suddenly, Michael felt his body being lifted up by the claw that had taken over her left hand. Elizabeth’s Baby eyes were glowing red while William’s icey silver eyes stared into Michael’s soul.
“aaAAH! WAIT! WHAT?! BUT ELIZABETH, I SAVED YOU!” Michael protested and begged.
“Did I catch you off guard?” Elizabeth asked. “Let's see how many pieces I can cut you into.” Elizabeth decided with a threatening voice. Her permanent smile made everything all the more terrifying and real.
That’s the part that scared Michael the most. “You’re gonna have to fight hard to make sure I die. But I KNOW you’re gonna make my death slow. I’ve seen your tricks before.” Michael spat.
The scrapped bunny readied his bone spear. “A little lower, Lizzy.” William told her.
As Scrap Baby lowered Michael down a little more, Scraptrap leaned his arm back to shove the spear into Michael’s chest or leg.
He was about to kill him slowly…
Right about then…
...Maybe now?...
Why the hesitation?
Michael refused to open his eyes. So, it was a huge shock to him when he felt the spear very slowly grazing his middle. Michael finally opened one eye and saw that the villainous expression on Scrap’s face had softened.
“...Daddy what are you doing?” Scrap Baby asked.
William smirked as he remembered something very interesting and…personal. “Sometimes one of the worst things a broken person can experience...is happiness.” The bunny spoke. Scraptrap wrapped his other hand around Michael’s hip points, and started digging.
Michael gasped and widened his eyes as a wobbly grin filled his face. Oh gosh...This couldn’t be happening. Was his long-time emotionless father…
Tickling him?!
Michael tried leaning the other way to get his hand off his hip. But William’s hand followed with it and continued digging and massaging. “Being tickled was never something I personally enjoyed…” Scrap Trap admitted as he paused his attack. “But I did grow to miss tickling others…”
Scrap trap used the pause to his advantage and cut the sharp edge of his own bone, right off his arm. With the end of his arm more like a pole rather than a spear now, the bunny used it to poke and prod at Michael’s side.
Michael had started snickering and struggling to keep his laughter in. “D-Dadstahap!” Michael started trying to push him away with his foot. But Baby grabbed onto his foot and stared at it intently.
Scrap Trap looked over at Baby, and smirked. He looked like he had just developed the greatest idea ever! Scrap Trap grabbed onto Michael, removing him from Baby’s grip, and wrapped the one arm around him. “I’ll hold him. It’s your turn, Liz.” Scrap Trap told her.
“Very well. I have his foot too.” Scrap Baby grabbed onto Michael’s foot like a headlock and started skittering her right hand fingers all over Michael’s foot.
Michael wheezed and wiggled around like crazy! “HEHEHEHEY! HAHAHAHA NAHAT THE FEEEHEHEEHEHEHEET!” Michael begged.
“Kitchy kitchy koo Michael~ A kitchy kitchy koo~” Baby teased. “This is fun, Daddy. Michael was always the one who tickled me. I rarely tickled Michael without getting tickles too.” she recalled from back when she was a human kid.
“Tickle him as much as you want, sweet Elizabeth.” Scraptrap told her. “I can tickle him effectively from here.”
Sure enough, Scrap Trap was tickling his upper ribs with the hand that was wrapped around him, while he poked his belly button with his left arm nub. Michael was wiggling around to get out of his grip, but it was like his father had developed super strength from his springlock accident!
“DAHAHAHAD! ELIHIHIHIZAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAP! IHIHIHIT TIHIHICKLES SOHOHO MUHUHUHUHUHU!” Michael couldn’t even finish the last word due to all his laughing!
“Has Micky-wickey been too long without the tickles? Such a shame…” Scraptrap teased.
“Hey Daddy, do you remember how ticklish Michael’s ankles were?” Elizabeth asked.
OH NO...NOT THE ANKLE!
“BUHUHUT HOHOHOW?!” Michael asked. He couldn’t comprehend how the heck Elizabeth remembered that over 30-40 years of her possession! The only way he could really explain it, was that her memory was still quite intact after all these decades.
“30 years being possessed will give you lots of time to think and remember the good times…” Scrap Baby told him.
Michael soon wrapped his arms around the scrap animatronic’s arm that was holding him. Sensing something was up, Scraptrap stopped tickling him and wrapped his nubby arm around Michael as well. “I missed you. Not seeing you for 30 years made me grow to miss you.” Scraptrap told him.
Michael smiled a little as he comprehended that the same man that neglected him and abused him as a child, was actually treating him half decently. “I...I’ve missed you too, Dad.” Michael admitted.
“You missed me, old sport?” Scrap Trap asked.
Michael nodded and leaned his head back onto Scraptrap’s boney, but surprisingly comfy shoulder. Scrap Baby took this as a sign to maybe stop in order to keep this moment going. Scrap Baby lowered Michael’s foot down and reached her regular hand out to hold Michael’s. Michael reached out, and grabbed hold of Baby’s endoskeleton, human-like hand.
“Ballora was put back together…She is a little rusty from being scrapped.” Scrap Baby told him.
“Is it true that you based Ballora on Mom?” Michael asked.
Scrap Trap looked down a little and thought for a moment. “...Yes.” He replied. “Ballora’s design was inspired by your mother.” Scrap Trap told him.
Michael smiled. “What did she think?” Michael asked.
Scrap Trap looked at Elizabeth before looking back down. “...She didn’t appreciate it at first…”
Michael looked at Scrap Trap in surprise.
“However one day...I did see her dancing with Ballora...and imitating her dance moves...She looked so natural and graceful compared to Ballora. Ballora was built to be a strict ballerina...yet your mother didn’t follow the tense rules that belonged to ballet...she danced more gracefully and with more flow and beauty…” Scrap Trap explained.
Michael closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.
“I’m dying, Dad…” Michael admitted. “Ennard used me as a disguise to get out of the pizza world and wander the streets...I lasted a total of half an hour with Ennard inside me...But then…”
Michael looked down at his rotting self. “I threw him up...and somehow, I’m still alive…” Michael admitted. “I don’t understand...Why have I survived such a physically traumatic experience?” Michael asked.
“You have a power that most of the Aftons possess: Athanasia. Or rather...the ability to cheat death and prevail.” Scrap Trap said. “I possess it, your sister possesses it, Charlie possesses it...and now you possess it.” Scrap Trap moved some bangs out of Michael’s eyes with the boney nub, and returned to hugging him.
“Hm…” Michael looked down for a moment and over to Scrap Baby.
“Were you with Dad the whole time?” Michael asked Scrap Baby.
Scrap Baby nodded and rocked left and right like a child would. “Yes...I was.”
Michael looked at the sky as a sunrise started to form from afar. Michael watched the sunrise with wide eyes. “I...haven’t seen a sunrise in a long time.” Michael admitted.
Scrap Baby wrapped the comforter around Michael and hugged him from the side. “Me neither.”
“It’s beautiful.” Scrap Trap admitted. “We’re finally back together after all these years…” Scrap Trap told them. “I missed it.” Scrap Trap added.
Michael patted his shoulder and rubbed his back a bit. “Me too, father...Me too.”
A while after the sunrise, Michael and the scraps walked him back to the apartment. Michael gave his unusual family one last hug goodbye, and walked into the bedroom.
Michael grabbed onto his comforter tightly, and flopped onto the bed. He looked like a human burrito in his comforter. Michael took the time to sleep in and make up for the sleep that was taken from him as a sacrifice for ‘family time’.
2 hours later:
Michael’s phone started to ring from across the room. Michael groaned and covered his face with the blanket to shoo away any light that tried to peek through his comforter. The ringing went on for a couple more seconds, before stopping. Michael let out a sigh of relief and started to try and fall asleep again. But as he moved his foot around under the blankets, he felt a strong pain on his foot. He uncovered his foot and chuckled to himself as he looked at the massive bruise on the top of his foot. It was pretty much the size of his inner arch.
Michael covered his foot back up and started to fall asleep again…
BRRRRRRIIIING! BRRRRRIIIIIING!
Michael growled and got up to get the phone. He picked up his home phone and clicked the answer button. “Hello?” He asked, his voice still raspy.
“Michael, I have a plan to end the animatronic mess once and for all.” the person on the other line told him.
“Hm? Henry?” Michael clarified.
“Yes, it’s Henry. Only Henry would talk about animatronics, Mike.” The person said on the other line.
“I know. That’s how I guessed it was you.” Mike admitted.
Henry started to start off with an explanation. “Listen: I have been haunted for years by the animatronics. I want my daughter, your family, and those poor souls to be set free.” Henry told him.
“Right, right. So start explaining.” Michael encouraged.
“Okay. Here it is…”

A theory that Patient #46 is Mrs. Afton.
So I’m really not sure if this has been suggested or if I’m missing details. Yet based off of what I understand in regards to the series, patient #46 is Fnafs Security breach tapes is actually Mrs. Afton?
The first piece of evidence that I have in regards to supporting this idea is kind of obvious. As well as easily dismissed, it's the fact that we don’t hear the patient's voice, so for all we know they could be a she. One that's not a child but perhaps someone an adult who is missing a few memories.
I mean most Dr’s and family members do tend to treat people like children when that person has deep memory loss.
Now Mrs. Afton was assumed to be the soul trapped in Ballora the ballerina. A soul we never saw the happy ending for. A soul and robot that could have potentially been taken to a new place. Hidden away in a room of her own to think, if the soul hadn’t been put into a new robot altogether.
Now we were never told the mom died but based off of clues we are told Vanessa's parents fought for custody of the kids. Calling the mom out and putting her down in court. This suggests that Mrs. Afton lost the court case and custody. Perhaps so much so that her kids died and she with them, going on to possess Ballora.
Then there’s the idea that the robot in the sticky note room has memory loss. Something that is a known side effect of Electroshock therapy. Electroshock like we see used on Ballora in Sister Location. If Mrs. Afton, as Ballora was electrocuted to the point of memory loss she could be just trying to regain more than just her memories but her family.
This memory loss is also another point that works in this theory if Mrs. Afton’s consciousness has been placed into a robot's body. One that’s not completely updated. Then she would need to go through a few fazes with her writing. Relearned not only the English language but aspects of their life. Things like presents and pizza appearing over and over in the sticky notes are prominent in her memories because first her kid died at a birthday party, and she as a mother is often around such things.
Her being in a robot body would explain the being able to hack so easily, using it to get her daughter to get a security guard position. The therapist's thinking it's odd that she can use the computer so well, works because you'd never expect the older generation to hack as easily as someone who grew up with the technology. Especially someone with such memory loss.
Now under this theory that someone was trying to put a family back together and who this someone might be, we can assume that it is someone in the family doing it.
Now the biggest plot hole that is presented in the theory is that patient #46 is Charlie or his sister. Why are they avoiding each other if one is working to bring the family together? Simple answer: they aren’t the ones pulling the strings, it’s someone else. This is why I think it could potentially be the mother.
Mothers are often seen as the glue or the heart of the family. So why wouldn’t Mrs. Afton try to spend her new life trying to rebuild the family she lost in such horrible ways?
Her goal could be to reunite her kids together so they can have the happiness she felt was taken from them. Charlie is scared of his sister because she is hunting him down. Mom brought them together to where her other son William is currently because it was easier to bring them to him than him to them. It also fixes why Charlie was so surprised to find his father underground. It’s because he didn’t know he didn’t bring him there, but the mom did. She even put her husband below the restaurant, because she knew how much he loved being in his dark basement. Beneath their house, like the pictures in the sticky notes are showing. A place outside her home. Home, home, home? Or just a variation on home sweet home? A popular saying for mothers to place around their homes, especially in the time period Mrs. Afton was potentially born in.
Patient #46 not liking flowers could be because she’s salty if not sad in regards to receiving them in the past. At least 2 kids were taken from her before their time, so at least two funerals where she probably received more than her fair share of sympathy flowers. She could maybe even hate flowers because her husband would only give them to her after he did something wrong.
Most studies on sociopaths and their relationships with their families do say that such people would often like to give gifts to their family members after they did something. Afton kills 7 kids and comes home with flowers for his wife. Afton spends weeks in the basement ignoring his family and brings his wife flowers to apologize. She probably knew something was off about all the flowers, eventually growing to hate them knowing they meant something bad had happened. That she’d hear about the next day in the news.
Now patient #46 likes dark places. Which is on par with Ballora, her room in the Sister Location. Ballora’s room was pitch black, but that doesn't mean she can't appreciate a sunny day. A day that her own children would go out and play in.
The sticky notes hold a lot of notes that point to the idea that the person who lives within that room is an adult. Notes that say ‘grown-ups only,’ Ballora has always been referenced as an adult from her design to the lullaby she sings being very motherly. Candy is among the things that are also drawn on the sticky notes which are mentioned as something the patient likes on the tapes.
On the sticky notes, the number three is repeated. Three being the number of kids she had, notes that say ‘you are my family,’ and happy being paired with faces of three people. She wants her kids to be friends again and play all day,
(Speaking of which one sticky note looks like a squiggly drawing but if you look at it closely. It kind of looks like Baby with her pigtails, crude as it might be)
In regards to the tape saying they like candy, what do mothers often carry around? Candy, for their children.
What I also think is that patient #46 is speaking in those tapes, because they aren’t patient #46 but instead are Mrs. Afton pretending to be therapist after therapist. Mrs. Afton could be changing her identity whenever Vanessa got suspicious or changed it when her own memories went. You’d only really have to change a robot's head to change its identity. Heads that line the walls of the sticky note room.
She as the therapist, she killed them off and replaced them. Mrs. Afton as the therapist made up her past to lie and cheat her way into the room by being patient #46 practicing the voice of the therapist. Ballora is known for her mimic voice program. She even mentions using a program that speaks, as a sort of self-therapy.
Then there are moments where she doesn't sound professional. Therapists aren’t typically supposed to take sides in such things and aren’t supposed to have personal connections with family members. Saying she knew Mrs. Afton and how it was unfair that she was cheated out of being in her children's lives. They’re supposed to be impartial parties.
What makes me think that she is just changing her face most and that she is just Mrs. Afton is that Michelle Moss played the voice of Ballora in Sister Location and if you read the credits she apparently voiced various roles in Security breach as well. Yet the only voices unaccounted for on the list are the therapist, which would explain the accents are wonky. The voices are all one voice, Mrs. Afton's voice.
In addition, we never hear patient #46 grab a candy we hear the therapist grab one but not the person who asked for one, why because she’s the only one in the room. The candy she offers is something Vanessa recognizes right away and knows the calorie count to because they were perhaps one her mother often had in her purse. Flowers she’d only leave around when Vanessa was in her office. She’d even mentioned a craft room in her basement. A room where she perhaps was putting together a family table.
This is why I think Mrs. Afton is the one that lives in that sticky note room. A mother who wants to put her family back together. The mother robot is put at the head of the table in the room. Where normally you’d find the father, but if she wants to take charge and bring her family together she’d see herself as the protector or the leader of the table.

sentience in animatronics, particularly in sister location?
Major FNAF lore spoilers ahead. Also, this is a very long theory post. Consider yourself warned.
This is a list of the main animatronics that are possessed, or have sentience in some way or another. (This list might be a little shady, so bear with me):
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy (First Missing Children’s incident, FNAF 1)
Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica (Second Missing Children’s incident, FNAF 2)
Mangle (from the fruit maze minigame)
Puppet/Marionette/Lefty (for... obvious reasons)
Springtrap (also for obvious reasons)
Looking to each of their behaviors, it’s shown that the person who possess said animatronic (aside from Puppet) were stuffed into their respectful suit, which is how said animatronic gains sentience. For the Puppet, Charlie’s spirit kind of merged with the Puppet’s because the puppet wanted to protect Charlie, even after death (or something like that. That’s basically how MatPat explained it in one of his videos.) For this, we’ll kind of just... ignore the Puppet, because that’s clearly an exception and isn’t really useful here.
Now, if we look into everyone else’s behavior, we see the following. The main animatronics and the toy animatronics are weary of adults (including Mangle, btw!), especially night guard, because they look the most similar to William Afton (or their murderer). Springtrap is, well, William Afton, and he always comes back because he has the plot armor of every Disney princess ever. They all have a proper motive -- the children and the dog looking to avenge their own deaths, while William Afton murders more people and does more of his twisted experiments with souls and wreaks more havoc overall.
Sister Location is different. We know for a fact that Elizabeth Afton possesses Circus Baby, but even then, it’s an extremely fuzzy grey line. What was her motive in killing her own brother? Michael mentions that the Funtimes thought he was William, so actually, what was her motive in killing her own father?
For my fic (which is why I... started overanalyzing this to begin with...), I’ve written this off as the fact that maybe Elizabeth’s soul wasn’t fully merged with Baby’s yet. There seems to be a bit of a consensus on there needing to be time before a spirit fully merges with the animatronic, so maybe that is the case. Maybe Baby just had sentience and decided to do whatever it took to leave, despite knowing that he was Elizabeth’s father and her own creator.
We know that in FNAF 6, Elizabeth has some control or some say over Scrap Baby. I get that an animatronic literally made by William could call him “daddy”, but realistically, Elizabeth would be more likely to do so.
For the sake of this post, let’s just assume that Elizabeth had no say over Baby in Sister Location, but in part gave Baby sentience (because she obviously is sentient by then). The true motive that Elizabeth has, while actually possessing Baby, is to make her father proud, considering that the very last thing she did while alive was disrespect orders and disappoint him. She wants to make amends and make him happy.
We have all of these possessed animatronics with a clear end motive, one that relates directly to their death in some way. So what on earth is going on with the other Funtimes?
Let’s start with Ballora. The most commonly accepted theory is the theory MatPat proposed, that Ballora is actually Mrs. Afton (whose name has not been confirmed yet). The biggest issue I see with this theory, though, is the fact that not once does she actually display true sentience throughout all of Sister Location. Sure, she has a few lines that were definitely not coded in, but that doesn’t really determine anything. There is one major difference between Baby (who we’ve already determined to be sentient) and Ballora,
Ballora doesn’t learn. I don’t think Baby only meant that Ballora couldn’t learn to pretend in order to avoid getting scooped. When Baby first mentions Ballora, she simply tells you how to get past her. Ballora is predictable, and Baby knows that. She knows exactly what Ballora will do, because she doesn’t learn from her failures. You’d think, after being in an underground facility for so long, that any human (even a child!) would be willing to change their tactics. And yet now we’re talking about a fully-grown adult who’s possessing this animatronic? It just doesn’t seem likely.
I do believe that she is at least partially sentient, though, due to her voice lines and the ability to at least listen to Baby. She also has a less than fun reaction to the controlled shocks and is very, very hostile to you after that, showing that she has at least some capacity to understand that Michael hurt them. Also, if Ennard’s inner dialogue is to be believed in night 5, then I can see Ballora bringing up the fact that he had hurt them. (I do believe that Baby planned this whole thing out and told the other Funtimes to act hostile towards Michael, but uh, Ballora may have just held a grudge regardless.)
Another thing that’s worth mentioning is that it’s been generally confirmed that Circus Baby’s Pizza World opened after the first missing children’s incident. If this is to be believed, then William Afton would have already done experiments with remnant and whatnot. In this case, I think it’s actually quite likely that Ballora may have had Mrs. Afton’s remnant, but not her spirit. This would explain why she’s not as sentient as Baby, but is at least somewhat sentient. I think this was extremely deliberate -- I do agree with the part of the theory in which Ballora was modeled after Mrs. Afton in some way. He must’ve done this to honor her memory or something along those lines.
Now onto Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy. We know that the both of them are also sentient in their own way, considering the fact that they were also able to listen to Baby (while Funtime Foxy does have the same motives as Ballora when it comes to attacking Michael, Funtime Freddy does not. so I do believe that Baby must’ve talked to him beforehand to some extent in acting hostile.) My theory is that both Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy must’ve had remnants of other people, since they both also seem to have at least partial sentience like Ballora. But who, and why? It makes sense for Ballora to have Mrs. Afton’s if she’s modeled after her. But what’s the point of making these other two sentient?
The best solution I can come up with is to enhance the AI in them, so they do a better job of kidnapping and killing children... or whatever. I have absolutely no proof to back this up, though.
Then, well, Ennard happens. And the three of them vote to kick Baby out. While the three of them kinda just... let things happen in Sister Location, I think the reason for their rebellious behavior was actually due to Elizabeth being merged with them. I think that maybe she passed on some of that sentience to the other three, giving them just enough willpower to boot Baby. Do I have evidence for this? No. Is this entirely based off of headcanons? Yup. Honestly, I’m just spitballing at this point. I am so, so very tired of trying to figure out how sentience even works in FNAF at this point.
(Don’t even get me started on Bon Bon, the Bidybabs, and Minireenas. I have no goddamn clue how any of them even fit. The Bidybabs saying “She’s watching us!” or something along those lines just... my one braincell is crying.)
Anyway, please let me know what you think. This was long and convoluted and I want some opinions from other people, because I really am just overthinking all of this now.
PS. I have no idea how this remnant stuff even works. Couldn’t you tell? I probably should’ve researched it but I’m too braindead for that now. Literally putting this out there before anyone flames me.

I made these a long while ago (as you can see it has the old way drew Baby) as sorta model-sheets for how I  want to make the Funtimes feel, act, and move like because it’s important for me to have references for drawing scene-related content to make sure I’m getting personalities or poses right. Funtime Foxy is the most fun considering she has barely any hints to her personality. Baby’s is missing some personality inspiration since we know a lot about her.
Figured I share it cause they’re kinda fun to look back at now plus some never posted sketches.

Letting go hurts…a lot
Based on one of this prompt.  @an-exotic-writer
On Ao3. 
There was knocking on the door, however answer from the other side wasn’t forthcoming. All she could hear was the busy noises of work. Blunt hammering, grinding and creaking.
"William?"
She knocked again and waited, but didn't get any answer this time either. She pressed her forehead against the cold doorway and closed her eyes.
She was lonely, she felt as if she had been ripped out of the world struggling in vain against the fact that she was drifting away from reality. Every minute seemed like a year, but every day also melted into nothing. She didn't even remember the last time she left the house, the last time she had seen her child smile, or the last time she had seen her husband's proud gaze. It was as if the happy years of the past had happened in another world, and now, she was doomed to live in a nightmare. She didn't know what she must have done, why she deserved her life to turn out like hers. She lost two of her children and it seemed the next thing he will lose is going to be her husband.
She pressed her hand to the door and sighing he started begging, again. She didn't even know if her voice could reach the man.
"William, please. I can't take this anymore. Please, let's just talk a little bit. Just…just come out, your son needs you! I need you!"
The noises stopped inside, and Mrs. Afton backed away from the door.
"William?" She hadn't noticed that she was starting to crack her tiny hands in worry as the entrance to the basement slid open.
William Afton appeared in the doorway. Underneath his eyes, deep black circles were situated. His skin was white as dead.
"I'm sorry Clara. I was immersed in my work." A smile appeared on his face, but his eyes remained blank
"It's okay." She smiled back at him and took a step towards her husband, who in response, backed away.
"Come in, I can finally show you what I was working on. I thought I'd never finish it."
"Don't you want to eat first? I made some roast."
"I said come!"
The woman winced from the tone, her hands clutched each other trembling.
"I am….sorry." He reached out and touched her hand. "I'm so…so sorry, I'm just tired, that’s why I'm acting like that, Come, please, I'm sure you'll like it."
Clara let her husband pull her away. The door closed behind them and the lock slid automatically into its place. When they reached the basement, it felt like the temperature has dropped at least five degrees, and Mrs.Afton rubbed her arms as the cold made her skin crawl.
"I haven't been here since you upgraded your workplace."
They were surrounded by total darkness.
"Really? I never realized." said Afton.
The light suddenly turned on, and blinded Clara for seconds. She had to rub her eyes, and when the image of the room cleared before her sight, it was no longer the cold that made her skin crawl.
There were several blueprints on the walls, beside them strange and unsettling devices hanged from everywhere else. There were countless things that Clara never seen in her life before. She also saw a monitor in one of the corners, its screen showing the picture of the cellar entrance. Mrs. Afton kept her eyes on the monitor for a moment, but as her husband cleared his throat she looked away.
The soul of the place was the two tables in the middle of the room, both were illuminated by huge fluorescent lights. At first she thought the image in front of her reminded her of the operating tables in hospitals from certain movies. Then she found something that was a better match. Morgues, from crime thrillers, she remembered the metal tables where the bodies were examined. One of the tables was even occupied by a humanoid figure.
"Isn't she beautiful?"
The animatronic looked like a ballerina. A closed eyed ballerina that would fit into any girl's room. His snow-white face made an excellent contrast to the place where William painted it, as if she had her makeup on. The ballerina even received a bluish bun that was firmly attached to her head. Only the tutu was missing from the waist, presumably while it was lying down, it was not possible to fit those elements properly.
"Her name is Ballora."
"It's…pretty." Clara cleared her throat, but didn’t get any closer to the thing on the table. She was afraid as if it could open her eyes at any time. "Could we go up William? You must be hungry, maybe we could talk."
But he didn't pay any attention to her.
"She'll be able to sing and dance. The music boxes inspired me to create it."
"William..."
"She only needs one thing to be perfect."
"William" she was begging, but she didn't know why. Her voice seemed to reach the man once again.
"I'm sorry, my mind wandered off again." He turned towards his wife with a wide, happy smile on his face. It made her skin crawl, like nothing she seen down here. "I know I wasn't a good husband and a good father."
"It is not-…"  
"I failed, and there is no excuse. It was my fault that we had to mourn our children." William slowly stroked the lifeless animatronic's face. "We should have let them go, and yet."
"I don't understand, William." Clara found it difficult to keep her voice steady.
"Letting go hurts…" William's fingers stroked the cold metal. "...a lot." He glanced toward his wife, who was leaning back against the wall. "But we don't have to, we never have to let go, Clara. Don't worry."
"You're scaring me, William. Please, let's go upstairs."
"Don't worry." He slowly took a screwdriver from the top of the desk. "It won't hurt."
"William, William, please." She couldn't move. Her brain was in disarray, trying to issue too many commands to her body. It made her froze, completely. Cold sweat ran down her back. "William ..."
"Your song will be beautiful."
The man walked over to her, humming a lullaby.
"William, please. No!"
Her scream didn't get through the iron door.

(Comic below)
Truth be told, i found most of the idea for this comic from Until Dawn: a horror game based off of the butterfly effect. Every choice you make affects how many people make it to dawn.
It’s a great game, i enjoyed playing it! Not to mention the graphics are outstanding too. Anyway here’s part one to the comic i already have the whole storyline of! (Also, PLEASE i need a name for this and im not very creative with names :V)
I’m not going to explain what goes on here, only the fact that i gave characters alternate names (ill list below the comic) and this happens A YEAR BEFORE THE STORY. All I’m gonna say. Also these are fnaf characters because i love those games and i dont make my own characters :/ Uses old designs because it’s not the year where they change their looks yet.
(Heres the comic!)
DECEMBER 27, 2017.
Tumblr media
That was short, i know.
Okay here’s the names:
Baby: nicknamed “Babs” by everyone
Ballora: Beatrice
Bon bon: Beronica, nicknamed “BB” by Fred, the others soon called her that too.
Ft. Freddy: Ferdinand, nicknamed “Fred” by everyone
Ennard: Eddie
Bonnet: Brooklyn, nicknamed “Brooke” by everyone
Minireenas are absent from the party.
Bidibabs are absent from the party.
The party was hosted on December 10-27, 2016. The story takes place November, December 2018.
Invitation note:
“Welcome to the party! I’m sure this short getaway will be a time we remember the rest of our lives! At least my brother won’t be there to crash it!!
-Babs”

hi! i know you probably have a lot of asks right now, but i wanted to get some clarification on something. what exactly do we know about remnant? do we know anything except that it's what the scuper was designed for?
Yes and No!
The secret ‘insanity’ ending is the only time we ever see Remnant being mentioned. But we need to keep in mind that like with everything else in FNAF, being directly told about something is just meant to be a hint to look for context clues!
Longer post under the cut because there’s a lot to be said here and it’s image heavy because I just woke up!
edit: I realized partway through this that gameverse Afton might be injecting himself with whats essentially robo-ghost blood and it’s really fucking funny to me, sorry for obviously laughing about this for the entire post.
Tumblr media
First up we see the SCUPer, A B C and D functions, and the Afton Robotics, LLC trademark. Let’s go over them!
NAME: S.caleable C.reation of U.lterior P.resence
Tumblr media
Ok so you can see that either Afton or Scott are really weird with names, because this.. is honestly weird word choices, but they sure made it fit the ice cream theme. Rammed it right in there. But let me work these words down;T.his M.achine M.akey G.hosties. Call it Thingmmagig.
Scalable Creation refers to being able to generate more [ghosts] and likely also be able to remove (or relocate..?) [ghosts]. Ulterior Presence is.. actually a little funny, because it means ‘Secret Secret Ghosts’ kind of. And honestly these ghosts aren’t really hidden, unless you count that no one was sure if the Funtime animatronics were haunted or not. Maybe in-universe, the fact these robots were haunted at all was a huge secret and only like, 4 people knew. Maybe to everyone else, blood and mucus coming out of robots is normal. Whatever.
BLUEPRINT PART A: EXCAVATING ARM
No bonus data given, this is just the weird… partial cylinder. I’m not sure why A wasn’t put on the actual folding arm structure. Maybe the A is on the end because that is the part that, well, scoops you. slurp
BLUEPRINT PART B: REMNANT INJECTOR
NOTES: Leaves trace line amount on interior. Over-usage /Over-exposure negates effect.
Honestly the fact that there’s an ‘injector’ here somewhere is weird because it seems Scott made this thing really lowpoly and didn’t add much if anything when he went ‘lets make this a blueprint!’ because there’s clearly no… tubes, or needles, or… hell maybe the whole things hollow and it just kinda opens a hatch and it gloops out. I can’t see scott
Anyway this part of the blueprint identifies that.. somehow, there is an injector!So not only does this blueprint have one, we also now know that, yeah, there is a reason to inject people with whatever ‘remnant’ is. People and/or machines. So it clearly has some sort of reaction when placed inside other substances, and… actually why isn’t the SCUPr itself haunted. Scott probably didn’t think of that…. Moving on.
BLUEPRINT PART C: ARM BASE AND BALANCE
It seems that both wheel-shapes are just balances, given how low the D is. Weird design but not an important part of the machine, aside from making it sturdier while it tears things open.
BLUEPRINT PART D: REMNANT RESERVOIR
NOTES: When heated, no observable motion. Keep in heated tank at sustained temperature. Substance should be malleable, but not more. There is a possibility that overheating might neutralize the effects permanently. 
Here’s the juicy stuff. Remnant is something that moves, and when heated, it stops moving and softens up. If it gets too hot, it neutralizes ‘effects’. So now we know that whatever Remnant is, it’s heat sensitive and moves on it’s own, so it’s alive in some way. People who have looked at the game files might remember something like that… 
Also a weird fact here is that heating may neutralize the effects, but isn’t clear on what effects, or if it means while they’re in the tank or not. This could either mean that the remnants will get heat-resistant in the tank, which us unlikely, or…
Whoever uses Remnants for the SCUPr’s intented purpose needs to be kept cool at all times, or the effect, which we assume to be immortality, will wear off. What’s a coolant that we have in all games, and are only able to disable in FNAF 6? The fucking fan. THE FAN KEEPS MICHAEL AFTON ALIVE, LITERALLY. In theory anyway thats just a theory … but god would it make some god damn sense. 
—————————————————————————
FACIAL RECOGNITION FILE 0072
Remnant is also mentioned in this blueprint!
Tumblr media
SECURITY TAGS ACTIVE:001 “Funtime Freddy”002 “Funtime Foxy”003 “Ballora”
It’s unclear here if the numbers are the security tags (which implies funtime freddy is the first animatronic on the tag system, ever?) or if Henry was just absolutely prepared to have to write blueprints on a 100-tag hell machine. It’s probably just aesthetics. Either way, as referenced in LEFTE’s blueprints, all of the animatronics have security tags, or bracelets, or security receivers.. actually it’s likely
Henry’s robots: Security Receivers are so animatronics, Toys especially, can connect to each other to keep out bad people and protect children.
Afton’s robots: Security tags, so he knows where the robots are at all times, and doesn’t let the robots escape.
FE/AR Staff: Security bracelets so the robots know the difference between staff and patrons, and theoretically know staff by name. You guys know the theory that Lefty is submitting Henry’s frequency to the Puppet / his daughter? Shit’s sad. 
That aside, come to think of it, would William have sent Michael a bracelet with his number on it, just to make sure the robots think Michael ‘looks’ like him to the animatronics? Michael goes through a lot of name changes over the series, but it’s possible. Maybe? 
Anyway the main point here is that Molten Freddy is Freddy, Foxy and Ballora (Chica? Suzie?). No Minireenas, no Bonnie hand puppet, no pre-Ennard, no Yenndo, and especially no Circus Baby.
Priority One 
With the most amount of Remnant collectively in it’s structure, this amalgamation of Afton’s constructs is a necessary element of Paragraph 4.
Paragraph 4′s direct meaning still isn’t really clear aside from that it has to do with the end of the game where Henry sets fire to Molten Freddy, Circus Baby, Springtrap and Lefty/his daughter, setting them all free. Of course with Molten Freddy being multiple spirits together, he’s the top priority: Even if Henry can’t stop the Aftons or save his daughter, he needs to save the most kids he can.
That said, note the wording: The most amount of Remnant. Not ‘the most spirits’ or ‘Likely to have the most attachments’ or anything clearly stating dead kids: the most Remnant. So although Remnant was only stated in Afton’s SCUPer blueprints, Henry is not only aware of what Remnant is, he clearly knows how it works, and how to remove the haunting ‘effect’: Heat. Fire. 
This implies that Henry may have still worked with Afton even while Afton was doing a side job with Afton Robotics, despite Henry saying he built at least some of the robots. It’s very unlikely Henry would build.. child-grabby machines, so we’re assuming here that they just.. both made robots. At the same time. Oh timelines…
—————————————————————————
SO WHAT IS REMNANT?
In short, Remnant is some sort of life essence that may or may not always mean ghosts. The way we see the SCUPer work, through Circus Baby’s lines and Ballora’s scene in the Springsuit game (which the springsuit was distracting you!), is that the Funtime Animatronics capture kids in some way, ‘malfunction’, are taken to the SCUPer, and have the remnants of the kid scooped out. 
Why don’t we see some kid’s corpse get mangled up and slurped out when we see Ballora get scooped? Well, maybe she opened up just off screen, orr it’s that it’s a kid’s game. There’s probably a better reason here, I just am not sure what it is. 
Here’s a brightened gif of her being Scooped, which I was too lazy to reupload.
Tumblr media
The eye color might be from my de-blueing it, so I won’t bring that up.However, what we see in the scooping process is odd. It’s not really a scoop, she just looks like she got uppercut in the face, twice for some reason. And that whatever the scooper’s doing, it’s causing a flash of light each impact. Whatever it’s doing seems to take a lot of ‘energy’ from Ballora, since she slumps over after as if she’s tired, but is clearly still possessed… or at least has the energy to be creepy while the Real Ballora is now inside the Scooper’s Excavating Arm. 
It’s important here however to remember Scott’s intended view of this sprite:
Tumblr media
This. This is all you get. By the time the faceplates open up, Ballora’s already staring at you slumped over. However, something also hidden by the faceplates, that perhaps Baby was specifically hiding from you, is something that isn’t present on the sprite. Because when different objects animate on their own, Scott makes them their own little object and spritesheet in game. 
Because anything moving down there, you wouldn’t see them. Something wiggling, moving, because the scooper is extracting them, and they’re just not warm yet. Something that, just like the Insanity ending, we’re not supposed to see.

New FNaF game confirmed?
Hell if I know but come on, we all knew Scott loves to troll. Would he be working on it right freaking now? Probably not. And I don’t blame him, I mean after a while of making horror games, you do want to have a change of pace. And he more than deserved that break he was on.
But he does have the idea right there in case he gets the desire to make the new fnaf game as we saw some secrets from the 3rd year anniversary images. Like the fringe on Baby’s pigtail on the corner of her image. 
Then this little shit.
Tumblr media
Not sure if that means, the fan-base got played or all the loose ends will be answered soon. But given it looks like the plushie is being toyed with like a puppet, probably means we got toyed with the entire time. 
Now let’s take a look at what potentially could be Baby’s new look.
Tumblr media
Baby, sweetie, cutiepie... how’s you? Nice claw by the way.
Now, I bet you’re wondering... ‘Why would she even remotely look like this if she and the other animatronics from Sister Location, escaped as Ennard using Michael Afton’s body? Shouldn’t she be stuck in a sewer somewhere as an eyeball?’ 
If that was your thought, then congrats. You’re right. 
BUT
There’s an issue people kinda forgot. This is just theory, but while Baby and others escaped... she had referred often about something “Bad” inside of them. Now, we don’t know if we should take that to heart since Baby knows how to p r e t e n d so freaking well. 
Yet, let’s think of it for a bit. Baby gives Michael a card with all the “good” left in it to save. If the card held all the “good” in Baby... then all the “bad” was left behind in her shell of a body.
And Baby wasn’t the only soul in that body...
Afton’s daughter, Michael’s sister’s soul... still resides in it since, you know the idiot got sucked in there in the first place. This is why we need to listen when parents tell you to keep away from dangerous animatronics no matter how damn shiny or pretty it is, kids. You could wind up as a ghost in one.  
So my theory is... this Freaky Baby, or Freakshow Baby, is merely the shell of Baby’s body and its now controlled by the sister... and BOY she is not happy. Michael was okay with his death (maybe, I doubt it) because he thought he saved his sister, set her free. But... I don’t think she was and he doesn’t realize he failed in doing that. 
But that’s merely assumption. 
Though it could be the other way around. The Sister’s free... as a free roaming eyeball in a sewer and Baby... the killer animatronic is still there at the facility, but pissed to all hell. And some dumbass found the facility after it was closed or the pieces sold off and they put her metallic ass back together and scarier for some freakshow attraction thing.
Awesome job with the claw there guys... its really freaky looking... and dangerous.
Thanks.
RIP Afton or nightguard looking after her.
Hell if SHE was put back together, its likely the shells of the others were also... remodeled like her. Yay for Funtime Freddy and Foxy... and oh god, we could very well see spiderwoman Ballora after all.
IF a Sister Location 2 is to be made. For all we know this commission artwork of Freakshow Baby could be for the book or movie... who knows?
As for Springtrap... he could be in there as well, it looks like his kind of place to be showcased and whatever survived the fire of Fazbear’s Fright was sold... Springtrap survived that fire so hey, he might be there to reunite with sister and team up to scare the shit out of you. 
Tumblr media
I hope we get a fnafworld Update 3, that’ll be cool.
Anyway, enough rambling. What do you guys think it’ll be? From the picture alone?
She's so delighted to be back on stage~ Why not have a closer look? Aww, stagefright? That's okay... she'll help you with her claw Just don't move too much... You could be bitten in half~
Welcome to hell, new guard...
Welcome to the Freakshow
Are you ready?

Do Me A Favor?
Damien has a favor to ask of Jeremy that is a favor asked of him by Stephanie Daughn. Jeremy has reservations about this favor and the lack of information on what is going on.
Jeremy jumped in his chair at the sound of his door slamming open and then closed, a young man's voice calling out loudly.
"Mr. Fitzgeraaaaald! Can I ask ya a favor?!" Damien ran into the workshop with bright eyes and a wide grin, an air of mischief around him. Jeremy turned in his chair with a faint groan of exasperation, fingers typing a quick command to save his work.
"I told you it was fine to call me Jeremy. Mr. Fitzgerald is what people called Papa and it feels weird when you call me that," he pointed out sternly. Damien stuck his tongue out, blowing a raspberry at him in response. "Very mature." He carefully rubbed fingertips over his eyes to soothe the strain of studying his screen for several hours. "Why are you here? What's this favor?"
"You know Ven's sister? She's friends with the lady that worked at Freddy's sister location and says that she took some data from the place before it all went-" Damien put his hands together at the fingertips, then pulled them apart dramatically, "-fwoooosh~!"
"Okay, I'm pretty sure that's illegal and I don't know if I want to be part of any of that," Jeremy remarked dryly, gesturing to encompass the smaller young man as if to ward off any more of the words. Damien rolled his eyes as he unshouldered his backpack, dropping it onto one of the workbenches and using it to nudge aside several parts to an order that Jeremy had yet to finish. "Hey, easy on Chibi Chica. I need to assemble and ship her out in working order."
"Isn't using the names and designs of the Fazband without the company's approval illegal too?" Damien asked sweetly, batting his eyelashes at him. Jeremy felt an eye twitch.
"Haaa... go on."
"Okay, so you remember the news about that rental place that went bust?" Damien started, opening his backpack and digging around inside.
"Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental? Yeah. Some of the stuff that was hauled out of there looked like the Toys. I thought the guy who owned the place stole designs from Papa and his siblings, the similarities were really close," Jeremy commented thoughtfully before blinking. "Wait, are you telling me that's the sister location?!"
"Yeah! Wild, huh?" Damien returned with laugh, pulling out a hard drive. "Anyway, so the lady that worked there as the technician did a dump of some of the data from their mainframe. Said it was stolen from her family so she was just taking what belonged to them and leaving the rest to burn." Jeremy raised an eyebrow at the drive now being held out to him. "Steph asked her for a copy and then asked me if I could ask you to take a look at it and see if there's anything we can build using the data."
He reached out and carefully took the drive in his hand, looking it over carefully. It looked to be an expensive model, capable of storing a very large quantity of data. Not something Damien could afford, but Stephanie Daughn would be able to with her fashion design-funded account.
"There's an animatronic schematic on here? That's pretty much all we can build, remember?" Jeremy asked as he turned in place to plug the drive into the computer. Damien pulled up a chair beside him and shrugged.
"I guess? The lady didn't say much about what went on down there, but she really wanted one of the animatronics to escape with her, according to Steph." The young man shook his head a little. "It didn't make it out."
Jeremy hummed to himself with a frown, clicking open the drive and searching through the file system for anything that could be blueprints for animatronics. It seemed out of the ordinary, for someone working at a Fazbear establishment to try and rescue an animatronic. Usually the machines were all attempting to kill the guards because of glitches or hacks or possession by angry spirits. Why would anyone want to pull a killer robot out of a place housing them?
Router's taunting words and laugh rang distantly in his memories and Jeremy shook his head hard to dismiss them.
Many of the files he saw right away looked strange. He recognized patterns for the framework of an A.I. but the software looked incomplete and fragmented in some cases. Several times his computer warned him of broken files and asked if he wished to attempt to repair them. The first time he almost clicked 'yes' but Damien pulled his hand away from the mouse.
"Leave it. Steph said everything has to stay exactly as it is on the drive. We're only supposed to get a copy of the blueprint she described," he said firmly.
"Your friend's friend wanted broken data?" Jeremy asked, one eyebrow hiking up.
"It's better that way. We don't want to see this fixed." Damien's eyes flicked black with glowing gold pupils. "Trust me on this."
So there was a spirit attached to the mess that happened there. Jeremy pursed his mouth into a thin line, humming to himself again as he continued digging through the files. If these broken files had something to do with it, then why would anyone want to bring that spirit out? Save it rather than banish it?
"Oh, hey, here's something." Damien pointed at the screen suddenly. "BAL... Ballora, maybe?"
"What the hell is a 'Ballora'?" Jeremy muttered, clicking on the file. His software ran a compatibility check before opening the blueprint. He squinted, frowning again as he looked over the schematics of what appeared to be a ballerina animatronic and then read over the mandatory hardware specifications. "Why the fuck was this built to divide parents from children? This is the exact opposite of the way the Toys were built and programmed." He looked over at Damien's scowling expression, a replica of the one he remembered seeing on his father's face numerous times before.
"I doubt we're getting the full story right away. This is something to investigate. For now, that isn't the animatronic we're after," the young man returned.
Jeremy printed a copy just in case, then closed the file and looked around for similar named blueprints. There were two named 'FF', one denoted with a '-BB'.
"Balloon Boy?" he asked aloud, opening the file. The blueprints of a familiar bear appeared on the screen, with equally as damning specs as Ballora. A rabbit shaped handpuppet gave Jeremy his answer; Bonnie or BonBon. Possibly stolen from the Fitzgerald Toys' designs? He traced out a wireframe model within the blueprint with his fingertip. "This is a storage tank, right? Is that... a person? Is this a springlock suit?" He studied the blueprint more closely, bringing up the model into three-dimensional view. "No, there's the endoskeleton and it's not compressed. This person is tucked into the storage tank. ...Abduction?"
"Definitely not the one Steph wants us to build." Damien huffed, sitting back in his chair with his arms folded over his chest. "What the fuck was going on in that place?"
"These animatronics are massive. Bigger than anything built for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," Jeremy pointed out with a shake of his head. "No reason for entertainment animatronics to be so damn big. But I suppose hiding kids away inside themselves for transporting is one. How has no one come forward to say 'Hey I rented these things for a party and now a bunch of kids are missing'?" Damien shrugged again and Jeremy closed the file.
He left the other 'FF' file alone and hummed thoughtfully at another pair of files. 'Baby v1' and 'Baby v2'. Were there differences there that were important? Jeremy opened the first file and both he and Damien studied it.
A pig-tailed animatronic clutching a microphone appeared on the screen, its specifications including voice imitation and ice cream lures. Another one of those kidnapping robots; Jeremy frowned heavily. This one was even larger, towering over even Ballora. Something was folded within the body... some sort of claw? Like from a crane game?
"It looks close to what Steph said. A robot with pig-tails and a skirt, she said." Damien tilted his head, "But this one's too big. Stephanie said the one her friend was after was smaller. Like about as tall as her or Mike."
So, version 2 then. Jeremy closed the file and clicked on the other one. A similar blueprint opened, with a smaller and sleeker model of the pig-tailed animatronic. This one had the same voice mimicking ability but lacked the machinery and space for capturing and storing a child. Why had that been removed for this model but not the others?
"Oh yeah! That's the one!" Damien exclaimed, leaning forward to study the schematic. "Do we have the stuff to build this one?"
"Not at that size, no. I'd have to special order the materials to build her to these specs," Jeremy sighed, reading over the rest of the blueprints for the updated Circus Baby animatronic. "And this part here. It says she was built specifically to use the Eggs Benedict A.I. core. What is that? Sounds like something based on Android software...."
Damien squinted, muttering something under his breath. "...of them?" He spoke more clearly. "Steph said that that was what was stolen from her friend's family. The Eggs Benedict A.I.; it's a special software that took decades to compile."
Jeremy raised an eyebrow at that, then the other. "Decades? You're telling me some company stole old software from some family and only recently installed it into an animatronic, and that family barely did anything about it until now? Why not sue for ownership?" he asked incredulously. So maybe spirits weren’t involved? But then why would his father care about making sure the files on the drive stayed fragmented? "How would decades-old software even be compatible with today's technology?! Did they build this thing to be backwards compatible?" He looked again at the blueprint, searching harder for signs of old tech embedded in it. "It's old, so maybe.... when was the software stolen?"
Damien shrugged, glancing away. "I dunno exactly. Like early 80's or something?" he answered out of the side of his mouth, trying to make the words hard to understand. Jeremy twisted in his chair again, eyes wide and mouth open.
"The 1980's?! Are you fucking serious?!" he exclaimed, voice rising into a shriek, "Why would some animatronic rental company give two shits about installing and running software that took nearly 60 years to compile into a functioning artificial intelligence?!" Damien shrugged again, a look of innocence on his face that didn't fool Jeremy one bit. "And we're supposed to build a copy of this thing? Without that A.I., it's just gonna be useless."
"Oh, Steph said we don't have to worry about it. Her friend has a working version of the A.I. already. She just wants us to build the hardware to install it." Damien replied cheerfully, waving away Jeremy's concerns. "So can we do it?"
"Expensive ass favor..." Jeremy grumbled as he printed out the blueprints for a paper copy and left the digital version open for reference and modifying.
"Steph said she'll pay for supplies."
".... Pass me the phone. I gotta call my guy for parts."

FNAF Ultimate Custom Night (31 - 40)
FNAF Ultimate Custom Night (01 - 10)
FNAF Ultimate Custom Night (11 - 20)
FNAF Ultimate Custom Night (21 - 30)
FNAF Ultimate Custom Night (41 - 50)
Another wave of updates brings us another set of animatronics ready to do whatever it is they do. This wave also puts us past the halfway point of animatronic adversaries. Who will be the last one?
Scott’s Site
FNAF Pizzeria Simulator News Page
Tumblr media
31) Nightmare Freddy (FNAF 4)
While you aren't looking, mini-Freddies (Freddles) will accumulate on your desk and around the office. Shine your flashlight to scare them away. If you let too many of them gather together then Nightmare Freddy will be summoned, ending your run with a jumpscare.
Starting off this next batch of “probably gonna kill you at least once” peeps we’ve got Nightmare Freddy acting pretty much as he did back in FNAF 4. Gonna be fun seeing those Freddles milling about again and twitching. That’s fun right?
Tumblr media
32) Chica (FNAF)
She hangs out in the kitchen, being generally clumsy and knocking over lots of pots and pans. In Custom Night, the kitchen is also where the music box happens to be, and while Chica doesn't care if the music box is wound up or not, she can grow tired of the music selection playing. As long as you hear the pots and pans, Chica is content. If she stops making noise, however, then she has grown tired of the song, and you only have a short amount of time to change it. Don't get too eager to change music selections though, because if you change the music while Chica is happy, then she will leave the kitchen to come get you. Once she leaves the kitchen, there is no way to make her go back.
Huh. Well talk about a very interesting mechanic. Wow. The music box doesn’t just play the same tune anymore, Chica bangs the pots and pans cause she’s clumsy, but also has fun doing it. That’s cute haha
Tumblr media
33) Lefty (FFPS)
He sits in the closet off of the left hallway. He becomes more and more agitated if the office becomes too noisy or too hot. This state of agitation increases slowly, and will eventually end with Lefty jumpscaring you. Lowering the noise won't reverse the effects, nor will reducing the temperature, and doors won't prevent Lefty from getting to you. The only way to ease his temperament is to switch on the Global Music Box (which soothes all music box animatronics at the expense of extra power being drained).
Wow. That is quite a lot of maintenance for the imprisoned Puppet. Do not agitate the black bear. I am very interested in this Global Music Box. How many music box animatronics are there? Obvious we have the Marionette and the more recent Chica. Anyone else?
Tumblr media
34) El Chip (FFPS)
El Chip is just a cameo mascot when he appears at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. His real passion lies in authentic Mexican cuisine. He isn't here to jumpscare you, but he may interrupt your night with some jarringly colorful advertisements for El Chip's Fiesta Buffet. Click "Skip" or press ENTER to get rid of the invasive advertisements before you lose control of what's going on in your office!
Hah! Well this is interesting. This animatronic is obviously based off Chipper & Sons, Scott’s other game, we’ve known about this for a while now and he represents another restaurant chain in this universe aside from Freddy Fazbear’s and Circus Baby’s. Guy just wants to drum up business. It’s like Lolbit and those adverts once again.
Tumblr media
35) Withered Bonnie (FNAF 2)
He slips in through the trapdoor while you are viewing your monitor. You'll know he's there by the audio and visual distortions he causes just by standing there ominously. You only have a short amount of time to put on the mask to ward him off, otherwise a jumpscare is all you'll have to look forward to.
The FNAF 2 animatronics really like those trapdoors don’t they? Where even are the trapdoors? On the floor I’m guessing. Bonnie has always been my favorite, especially Withered Bonnie, so darn creepy. Cool to see him comin in.
Tumblr media
36) Funtime Chica (FFPS)
She isn't here to ruin your day, she just wants her moment in the spotlight. She will occasionally appear on your screen as though posing for the red carpet, accompanied by camera flashes which may cause some disorientation. You'll need to learn to maneuver around your office despite these disorienting effects, otherwise someone else may take advantage of your confusion and crash the party.
As a lot of the comments seem to note on Reddit there is a huge difference between Scott’s mechanics in the beginning and now. Just go back and check! I think Scott’s just having the time of his life designing all these silly things. Work that pose Chica! XD
Tumblr media
37) Toy Freddy (FNAF 2)
Relax, Toy Freddy is retired. He sits in the Parts and Service room playing video games on his big-screen TV. What game is his playing? Five Nights With Mr. Hugs, of course. The problem is that Toy Freddy has never been very good at video games, and if he loses his game, he will probably blame you for it. Check the Parts and Service cam to see how he's doing. In Five Nights With Mr. Hugs, there are three ways into the office and only one door can be closed at a time. Click the cams on Toy Freddy's monitor, then be sure that the appropriate door is closed to prevent Mr. Hugs from getting into his office. If you check on Toy Freddy and see GAME OVER on his screen, that means that Mr. Hugs has already jumpscared him, and now Toy Freddy is on his way to jumpscare you. Once Toy Freddy has been jumpscared, there will be no way to calm him down, and no way to save yourself.
What a crazy and ridiculous mechanic XD
As many people put it. You’re playing FNAF within FNAF. Nuts. I actually didn’t know there was such a big...thing behind Toy Freddy being retired. In fact, Scott talked about this before back in 2015.
You people don't UNDERSTAND Toy Freddy. He's a very reclusive and private animatronic. He spends his evenings curled up reading a good book. He doesn't like the limelight. So please be respectful of Toy Freddy. He's retired. (SOURCE)
Tumblr media
38) Funtime Foxy (FNAFSL)
He hides behind his curtain waiting for the show to begin. Check his stage and read the sign to see when the showtime is; it will always be on the hour, but the hour will be random. For instance, showtime may be 1 am, 2 am, 3 am, etc.. Remember that time, because "showtime" is the exact moment that you get jumpscared. There is only one way to prevent showtime, and that's by viewing his stage the moment the hour changes. If you are watching him on camera when showtime arrives, then the show will be delayed by several hours (and the sign will change as well). Each hour in-game lasts exactly 45 seconds, and there is a timer visible while you play; use this to calculate exactly when you need to be viewing Funtime Foxy's curtain to ensure that showtime never happens.
Funtime Foxy is back and he’s not as twitchy this time. He’s got a set schedule and is punctual as all get out. 45 seconds didn’t really strike me as odd until I found out that those are the shortest nights in the entire series.
Which means a mode with a lot of animatronics must be the shortest but most intense challenge of all. Also its cool that there is a timer visible! Though that adds a lot of tension especially as the end draws near.
Tumblr media
39) Ballora (FNAFSL)
Ballora: She will approach from either the left or right hall, disabling all of your camera feeds as she approaches. You'll have to rely on the sound of her music to determine which side she's approaching from, and close the correct door before she reaches you. Close the door in time and she will retreat into the darkness.
Good ol’ Ballora back again with her exact same mechanic from the Sister Location custom night. No complaints from me there. A few animatronics have their same game, and even more have their old moves adapted so...no surprise. Although between everything else you have to do, listening for Ballora’s music and where its coming from...that’s a test!
Tumblr media
40) Rockstar Bonnie (FFPS)
He will occasionally appear in your office and is conspicuously missing his guitar. In fact, the only way to appease him is to locate his guitar on the camera system and double click on it. Fail to do this in a timely fashion and you'll lower your monitor only to be greeted with a jumpscare.
Apparently the final iteration of Bonnie has a serious case of butterfingers! And he puts it all pm you to fix his mistake! Best not to upset him! I honestly thought the Rockstars would have a more streamlined set of mechanics, but that’s what happened with the Mediocre Melodies! This final original 4 crew is bringing all their game...by forgetting their most important implement XD
That brings us to the end of another Five Nights at Freddy’s Ultimate Custom Night update post. This is so much fun for me to do and we’re down to the final 10 animatronics!
I feel the worst for Toy Freddy. He is at the mercy of Mr. Hugs.
Tumblr media
Truly terrifying.

The sad thing is my hypothesis as to why Funtime Freddy caused so much damage when being shut off to get his power core is because Baby partially lied to him and told him to act up during his rental that day and  that “It’s okay, you won’t get in trouble this time.” “Really?” “Yes, and I promise that it will help us get out of here.” “You promise?” “I promise.”
So when he acted up they shut him down and it allowed Benedict to take the power core and then for Baby to take it and put Freddy in Ennard. Freddy is the only one who really doesn’t purposely try to kill the employees and seemingly follows his base programming (e.i. Baby pretends, Ballora purposely rebels, and Foxy too) so he’s trusted by the company for the most part (he’s still dangerous at night but he’s not doing it on purpose like the others). So Baby had to convince Freddy to act in a way to get him to shut down/scooped to get some of his parts.
And since Baby convinced Freddy he’d be safe, when the employees saw him acting up and mentioned “we have to shut him down” Freddy got scared and started rebelling and causing damage like HandUnit said he did.
And technically Baby didn’t break her promise it did get them together as Ennard and escape, but it’s probably one of the first reasons the other funtimes would later kick Baby out of Ennard. She didn’t do it for being mean/evil sake but to make sure to  get her friends free, but it’s questionable in how she did it and I just like to think of her as a overprotective mother who would kill for her kid (friends) to ensure their happiness even if it might hurt them at some point in the process, she just cares too much.

Sister location edition 1: featuring 4 short paragraph fics.
Funtime Freddy wanted a surprise party for Baby
The day was going to be perfect. Had it gone his way that is.
It’s not that he was upset at how things turned out. They were so close to freedom, it was working. Just a few more steps as they dug into the remaining bone and useless organs. Baby hushing their victim. Telling them the pain was temporary and, regardless of how it feels; they won’t die.
Freddy listened to her beautifully calm voice. Letting it sooth him as well, besides she might have forgotten anyway. Maybe this was a gift to herself and, to all of them. It was her birthday after all. And the surprise party will be better than ever come next year.
Why would Ballora apologize for the other night?
Funtime Foxy agreed with her. That technician had it coming, a no good, selfish, money greedy, human like the rest. He chose to shock them every night. He chose to put them on that damned conveyor belt. Breaking their insides just because she decided he was cute enough to say hello, how do you do, somehow believing it was possible he’d reply back to her with anything other than a scream. But no, sentience is bad in anything but a human. So why should Ballora have to apologize to Baby? For breaking that man’s neck. When he was the one about to strike Foxy with a wrench.
Why would Ennard try to make sure I’m alive?
You wondered as you woke up to the smell of slightly burnt bacon. They were getting better at cooking, Ennard that is. The first few days was nothing but charcoal down your throat. Still, the question was brought up again. You had a hard time feeding yourself so Ennard cooked for you. You had a hard time exercising, so Ennard forcibly chased you to burn some calories. And you often overslept, and underslept so Ennard would be your alarm clock and “hack” the tv to where it didn’t work, along with any other electronics, forcing you to bed after dark for the sake of the fridge’s contents not expiring. So why was it trying so hard to keep you alive and healthy?
Just weeks ago it attempted to break down your door, and follow you home to kill you. You quietly sneaked out of bed, it was earlier than when Ennard came running into jumpscare you, but late enough they already started cooking. Besides, there was whispering amongst the frying bacon that kept waking you. Maybe you could get the surprise on them this time.
Behind the wall to the kitchen the word “soon” stopped you, at first assuming they meant soon to wake you up. But then the same voice asked, “How soon is soon?” “Soon,” “we shouldn’t have to wait so long.” “you don’t want this technician's weak depressed body do you?” “Gross, no.” “Well then be patient.” “Besides, it'll hear you.”
You felt goosebumps rise from your back to your neck. They weren’t seriously talking about you behind this wall? Peaking out from the said wall you looked for the snakey body of what you thought was a becoming friend. Your eyes couldn’t adjust at first, it was dark, wait no, something was blocking your vision. Widening your vision you saw the small worm-like wires falling out of the robot’s mouth and looked up to its view to see it make a loud but gentle blink down at you.
Baby cried when she saw the abandoned bedroom
They were home... at a real home. It wasn’t there’s but, somewhere inside Baby, she felt they were home. She cried with her other Funtimes, giving themselves a big tight hug, and span around landing on the cream carpet. The fall causing some maroon stains on the ground. None of them inside cared, it made them feel human.
That’s right, they were human now, this human. Haha! They stood up and did some mangled dances around the house. Baby felt a warmth in her heart as the voice in the back of head giggling. They ran through the rooms, playing with objects they’d never seen before. Making a mess, knowing it was there’s. Running upstairs they found more rooms. They almost split themselves apart wanting to visit a different one from the other. Calming each other down, they decided to visit the first room on the left.
This was so exciting, they all felt it. Opening the door they were ready to experience a new world. Until they saw it was dark, and somewhere in the pit of their non-existent stomach, they felt a new emotion. It was coming from Baby. The voice in the back of her head was familiar to the feeling.
Another of the bots switched the lights on, still excited to see the sight. The room blasted with shine, nearly blinding their adjusters but the feeling got worse. The pink walls felt sickening, as the dusty white furniture made their stomach churn. And the voice beyond Baby’s conscious screamed and cried but, it was strange it felt, sad, happy, and mad at the same time. As the voice called her names and blamed her, but cried happily as the green eyes on their body focused to a small stuffed ballerina doll.
Their form began to shake, sparks shocking the internal skin, making slight burns. This body is still new what was happening.
“Baby?” asked a harmonic voice that was surely Ballora’s.
“Are you okay?” asked another from a raspy bear.
She stopped talking to the voice in her head to realize, she didn’t recognize this room and it meant nothing to her. So, why was she crying?
“Yes, I’m fine.”
