“The name’s Freddy Fazbear, and Ah welcome ya to our home. Play nice. Get ta know us (about). Read them rules down below... Don’t break any of ‘em.”
A multi-muse blog dedicated to a heavily canon-divergent depiction of the animatronics from the Five Nights at Freddy’s series. We primarily focus on Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Foxy, and Chica in this blog - however, many other characters can make an appearance, such as Evan Afton, Fredbear, and more recently, GlamRock Bonnie.

Blog Rules
- This blog is private - which means I will only interact with mutuals. If the @surveillancebunny follows you, then I would be happy to interact.
- IMs open to mutuals for plotting. I love starters and greetings - but I also love plotting.
Standard RP Etiquette
- No godmodding, power playing, blahblah...
- Romance Shipping is kinda iffy for me. There’s only one ship with the animatronics that I’m down for, and I generally prefer to discuss it with established RP partners.
No. Smut.
- For me, Platonic love all the way! I love developing friendships, sibling relationships, parent child, uncle aunt, weird cousin, so on! Happy acquaintances are also great with me too. :) Let’s plot it out.
- I reserve the right to accept or reject anons/asks/starter requests. Usually won’t reject ‘em though. Sometimes I like to take my time with a really good ask to make sure my answer is just right, so don’t get discouraged if I take while!
- Saying it again; no sexual content on this blog whatsoever.
- Do not reblog my Headcanons/Roleplays.
Triggers
- Be warned that this blog will touch on darker subjects; murder, death, lots of angst, violence. I will do my best to tag, but specific triggers might slip by the wayside. If you have a trigger that seems to commonly come up in this fandom, feel free to send an ask recommending a tag.
Go ahead and like this post if you’ve read the rules. (Not required, it just makes me smile!)
Bonnie is... a bit of a paradox for me to draw. He’s a rabbit, sure - but also bulky and boxy (to a degree that his human counterpart is always on the chunky side). He’s neurotic, but usually looks lazy or sleepy. He’s supposed to look cute-ish, yet also unsettling and uncanny. His ears are big - but frankly, they’re normally out of the way, and easily dismissible. Ultimately... He’s also supposed to be menacing and intimidating - yet of course, I can never quite nail that last descriptor...
I feel as if I am always missing some type of key characterization when I draw my Bonnie... But the more I draw him, the more he just comes out like this.
This is mostly why I avoid having a lot of art of the OG’s. They just... take on a different shape in my style. I feel as if other artists can make their designs recognizable even they look nothing like the originals - I did not achieve this yet, unfortunately. There would really be no way of telling that MY Bonnie is from FNaF.
(Maybe it’ll help when I add the bowtie)
hey there can I talk to you about your cars extended warranty
All things considered... Bonnie probably became my favorite animatronic to write in any situation. Freddy is a close second - but he is situational. I need the right type of RP partner and/or setting for him to properly shine, otherwise his subtleties simply go unnoticed and his portrayal turns generic. Bonnie, however... I can write him in any scenario. Any place, any time, any character, I’m comfortable with adding to his backstory on the fly, and am confident in knowing how to portray him each step of the way.
So it’s a real bummer that drawing him doesn’t come as naturally to me. XD
an eyeroll and more grumbling ; what else did he expect from that long-eared scamp ? surely not a direct answer , oho no , bonnie had to keep it vague and it’s wasting his time ! regardless that he was not doing much to begin with–
before the sour fox could tell off the rabbit once more , the mention of freddy and chica knabs his attention like a vessel abruptly hitting shore . foxy’s loose jaw swings as his head jerks toward the rabbit’s voice . ack ! curiosity AND greed ! his one of many weaknesses ! no way that ol ’ bear and chicken gettin’ to whatever bonnie had to show first !
“ a- avast ye , bonnie ! i’m comin’ ! ” hook , line , and sinker . curtains are ripped open and the distant sound of metal hitting the checkered floor indicates the pirate fox is closing in , and fast .
bad decision .
there’s a wall of red at the entrance of the cove , a wall that is certainly NOT supposed to be there . it was actually pretty impressive , considering that it was made solely out of plastic cups and by blocky animatronic fingers .
of course , foxy has no time to appreciate the spectacle , and only learns this AFTER he SMASHES through said wall – red cups go EVERYWHERE . the stunned fox practically slips trying to slow down his momentum .
“ … this means war . ”
For a few, irritating seconds, Bonnie wasn’t sure if the trick had worked... They were dangerously close to mini tantrum at this point. How dare Foxy not heed his call this instant! The large animatronic softly shuffled in place, resisting the distinct urge to stomp his feet, break something, or clean something...
Bonnie’s impatience nearly ruined everything, as he was about to give the fox a piece of his mind- until he heard the shout, frozen with his snout open. “...oh!”
And then, it happened.
A wonderful, horrendous chaos of cups exploding absolutely everywhere !!! Along with the mess came a symphony of bop bop bops from each individual plastic cup bouncing off every known surface. Bonnie was definitely covered in cups - both ears having cups hanging from his ears, but he didn’t care about the chaos or the mess. Only the humor.
“ Hahahahahhahaha! That was perfect !!! “ Bonnie was absolutely shameless as he laughed openly at the prank victim - though he did have the sense to back away to the nearest doorway, “ Dunno what you’re talkin’ about! Those are clearly all your cups. I mean, “ The snarky rabbit smirked at him, “ They’re red, like you are. “
The simple humor seemed to be a riot to Bonnie tonight. Far better than the boring alternative of doing nothing all night!
A gasp sounded from the chick as she whirled around to see Freddy, on his feet and gazing down at her. She stood straight back up with a smile on her face, giving him a friendly wave in greeting.
“Oh hi Freddy! You startled me for a second there,” she laughs, “I was just visiting you guys again so you don’t feel so lonely. I don’t know if anybody else knows how boring it is back here.”
Chica bent down to pick up her prop cupcake. “I just hate that you’re left out of the fun outside. So, I’ve been coming back here every so often to make it easier.” She holds it in an offering of friendship, that infectious smile never leaving her beak.
Freddy looked rather impassive as he stood there. Dirty optics were half-lidded as they focused on her, and his slightly-loose jaw didn’t move as his voice box roughly rang out in reply. “...w-w-... Well, ain’ that mighty sweet of ya.” He hummed, intrigued by the supposed sweetness of this new animatronic. The bear didn’t have the heart to tell her that she was wasting her time.
“...w-w-w... We appreciate the notion, but...” What excuse would appease the other? “...b-b-b... best not ta leave the children unattended!” ...Truth be told, he didn’t want to drag the sweet bot down with them. This was her time, and he’d be remiss if she ran into any trouble...
The cupcake was offered, and for a second, Freddy just... stared at it. He didn’t smile (or maybe he was already smiling? The loose jaw made it difficult to tell), but was gazing at the cupcake with immense approval as he took the friendship offering. “...Thank you... ...How’s about we visit yer stage in the evenin’?”
On Anon or not, send “Plot:” + describe something you really want to RP with my muse or something you want to see my muse do (if it’s to/with another RPer, list their username) and I’ll rate it:

((11. Are there some things you dislike about how the show/series/etc. portray the character you have picked up? If so, what?))

Mmmm... Honestly, it's hard for me to get critical here. I prefer to avoid taking the games too seriously or being too critical of them - most of my love for this fandom honestly comes from other fandom creations! (Seriously, the art freakin ROCKS)
So I really had to wrack my brain here... Because, gawsh, I kinda love my darlings, so what could I possibly complain about??...
I guess... the voices for the OG gang are my biggest tiff. Just haven't heard one I liked... Not to mention that we don't get the chance to hear 'em! FnaF AR is the closest I can get. Actually, all the sounds the animatronics make in general in FnaF 1 seem very awkward and unfitting to me. I can never quite fit Freddy's laugh to the actual animatronic - however, I can forgive that for the sake of uncanniness as the bots CAN make odd sounds. But even their footsteps never quite made sense to me...
Maybe I'm just too attached to the voices I imagine for my gang.
It's not really a worthy complaint though, since Security Breach did a great job addressing sounds! My dislike really is just a nitpick...
(viviskull) 2. How did you get into this franchise/fandom?
/ / / / / / @viviskull asked...
... Good question. ... I have... no idea!
I don't remember how, who, where, why, or even when, but at some point I found some amazing art and fanfiction for Five Night's at Freddy's, and... I became h o o k e d . I don't even know why this happened, there had been no major game release at the time. I had grown tired of the game theory video's... Truthfully, FnaF kinda came out of no where and hit me like a damn truck.
Two months after reading every single FnaF fanfic I could find, I began searching for RP partners online to write with. Five months later, I turned to Tumblr... The rest is history.
The ultimate draw of this fandom is really the characters I invented, and the setting. There is something inherently fascinating to me about sentient machine life trying to find it's way in the world within the most unlikely body while encountering the most tragic events. Further combining this notion with found family themes ... and unhealthy toxic coping mechanisms.
By now, these guys have all become major comfort characters to me.
& .˚ found family prompts. ( it is a very loved dynamic so here are some memes to go wild with it. these are mainly fluff, supportive and some emotional ones. to reverse the action prompts, send ( prompt ) + )

Bonnie was waiting eagerly, blocky teeth exposed in a big, excited grin. Any second now - Foxy would either sprint into a chaos of cups and clumsiness or be baffled by the pyramid trapping him within the cove. Whether he’d be baffled, angry, or even just amazed - the rabbit was eager to see the other’s reaction. He won’t admit how long it took, but it took quite awhile to set up this pyramid...
...So one could easily imagine how his grin crumbled at Foxy’s initial answer. The entire point of the joke depended on the stubborn pirate getting off his arse and seeing this ridiculously fun creation - but no. The damned vulpine decided to be lazy today.
Honestly, Bonnie felt as if he would never truly understand Foxy’s moods...
“ W- Wh... “ It almost sounded more like a whine rather than an attempt at a word. For a few seconds, Bonnie didn’t know what to do, quickly becoming outraged and, frankly, feeling a tirade of complaints about to hit - But then, he went still as Foxy cut in once more, proving that curiosity was going to be Bonnie’s best tool right now. His blocky grin returned, paws rubbing together like they always did when he thought he was being clever. “ Oooh it’s something really cool, Foxy. Honestly- I can’t even explain it! You just have to see! It’s right out here, too- “
Then, another ‘brilliant’ idea struck the rabbit, attempting to make the fox competitive in order to further urge him out of his cove, “ If you don’t want to see... I guess I will just have to get Chica and Freddy then... “
