(BTW, Haven't posted in a while. May or may not continue in the future. I'm lazy š)
Hi! thank you so much for coming on here! I have a youtube account by the same name if you want to check that out! Here I will post about my au for FNAF, and probably will post some art/fanart here! Every one is aloud here, and will fit in here! Exept if you support m.a.p.s, incest, pedipholia. that stuff.
Ok, so umā¦ idk how to do a good pinned post? I go by she/her, and I generally donāt like to post a lot? Please donāt be gross, as I will block people if they make me uncomfortable. I generally donāt reblog ANYTHING, unless I want to add to a post I made myself, as I am stubborn and stuck in my ways, and I havenāt reposted for so longā¦ Also, I prefer to be a passive observer, but I would like to post more :)
Oh! And I like to use emoticons :D

Au Funfacts
Ok, so I want to share with you guysā¦ essentially my au funfacts? Idk how else to explain it, but it's essentially some small little things that are good to keep in mind for my au. Youāll get what I mean once I get into the examples
So, letās get into the funfacts!
1. Golden siblings and Toysnhk
In my au, Cassidy and Andrew are siblings, with Cassidy being the older sister by 2 years, and Andrew being the younger brother. This is because they have slightly similar appearances (Black hair), and fufill a similar role in the games vs books. And also because I want to. I have my own personal plan of how their deaths work. So, Cassidy dies in the mci, in 1985. Andrew dies a few years later in the dci, 1987. So now Andrew will forever be the same age as his older sister.
In regards of Toysnhk, the answer is a bit complicated. Yes, Cassidy is toysnhk/ the vengeful spirit, but both her and Andrew created ultimate custom night. Let me explain. In this au, both Cassidy and Andrew created and are keeping William in ucn. However, they both do very different things. Cassidy torments William herself, making him see the animatronics, and essentially play ucn. Andrew keeps William in a state so that he can experience ucn, keeping him stuck in the weird death comba thing referenced in āThe man in room 1280ā. This is because they both seem like they hate William and want to torture him, and since they both exist (mashup of games and books) it feels weird to include one but not the other. Also, I would imagine ucn takes A LOT of effort, so itās easier to delegate tasks. And also I want to.
But if both Cassidy and Andrew are making ucn, then why is Cassidy Toysnhk? Glad you asked. Well for one itās āThe ONE you should not have killedā so it canāt be both of them. And the in universe explaination is that they partially view William killing Cassidy to have lead to Andrews death. If Cassidy wasnāt killed in the mci, then she wouldāve probably been around to stop Andrew from dying in the dci (him not being alone, stopping him from wandering off on his own, etc)
2. Vanny is not Vannesa, and weird stasis chambers.
I think I touched on this in my big āAu explanationā post, but Vanny is not Vanessa. The main reason is because before security breach came out, everyone was theorising who Vanny was. I was on the side that āVanny isnāt Vanessaā... mainly because I saw a merch statue of the two together, and I just didnāt like the idea of it. So I added my own headcannons, and made her be merged with a different 2 characters. But once security breach came out, it turned out that Vanny WAS Vanessa. However, I got attached to my version of Vanny, and didnāt want to change it. Now, even though 90% of my old au is inaccurate and outdated, I am still attached to this headcannoned version of Vanny, so Iām keeping it. Itās my au, I can be canon divergent if I want to.
Vannyās true identity is completely different from Vanessa, but there is a watsonian reason why Vanny looks like Vanessa. If Vanny gets unmasked, itās to frame her and get away scott free. She does this by using illusion disks to look like Vanessa, if slightly off. She (under the guide of glitchtrap) would use illusion disks a lot, in order toā¦ idk, do generally mindcontrolled things? She would use them to disguise every part of herself so that she couldnāt get found out. Her facial structure, her age, her race, her gender, everything.Ā
Now who is Vanny, actually? Well, sheās both the chica bully from Fnaf 4, and Maria Rodriguez from step closer. The reason that sheās Maria is because step closer is my favourite fazbear frights book (for some reasonā¦) and I wanted to put more importance on the side characters. Also probably some other reasons, but I forgot them. But wait- you might ask. Didnāt you say that Pete, at the age of 16, died in 1985? Wouldnāt Maria be the same age? And security breach is in the 2030ās. How old is Vanny?! And the answer to that isā¦ William sucks.
Ok ok, hereās the actual explanation. William does a lot of human experiments, to do a ton of things, mostly figure out remnant. He created the funtimes to capture kids so that he could experiment on them. He killed the Mci kids to experiment with possession/remnant/what ever. He created the lonely freddyās to hypnotise kidsā¦ probably for experimentation (I will talk about it later). So William likes experimentation. So at one point he wants to do more experiments (Post ā87) and who else to test it on but some teens/young adults that he REALLY hates. Like, perhaps, the teens who killed his youngest son in ā83? Keeping them in stasis chambers, never aging.
Thatās the watsonian explanation. The doylist explanation is that I didnāt think about it, and had to find a reason for it to make sense, but it would work for the characters. I (among with many others) hold the headcannon that Bonnie bully (who is Jeremy in my au) is Cassieās dad. The tormentors (- Mike, because heās already dead at that point in my au, and also Williams son) would be āreleasedā at different times, so they would all be different ages by at different times. Idk, it is how it is.Ā Ā Ā
3. A dozen or so people missingā¦ Alec, what are you doing here?
So, as stated above, and in my long explanation post, William created the Lonely Freddyās, in order to do experiments and whatever else he does. The lonely freddyās were designed to body swap with kids, and pretend to be them until William needed them. Then William would send some sort of signal, and all the Lonely Freddyās would go to a location that he chose, like some sort of warehouse or something, so William could experiment with/on them. And thatās exactly what happens. A couple or so months after Alec got swapped, dozens of people, mostly kids, but some adults and teens as well, mysterously vanished in the middle of the night. These people were all swapped with lonely freddyās. This is kinda inspired by the 2025 movie āweaponsā exept I havenāt actually watched it, and they donāt naruto run.Ā
The incident is not linked to Fazbears, because no one actually went missing at fazbears, and no one would have any reason to think fazbears was involved in this incident. Even though ALL of the missing people did go to Freddy Fazbears Pizza at some point, the times the people wouldāve gotten swapped could be months, or maybe even a few years after going. Itās like if a dozen people went missing and someone says that itās mcdonalds fault because all the missing people went to mcdonalds at least once in the last 2 years. No one would believe them, or even come to that conclusion at all, so itās not linked.Ā
This is the reason why Alec also is able to meet Toby. On that night, a lonely freddy that swapped with a fazbear employee (because that happened) collected all of the ālonely freddyā robots in order for the other half of Williamās experiments, and Alec was able to slip though the cracks, and stay at the pizzeria.
So Alecās family gets to experience the loss of their child, just a few months late š
4. The nightmares and who they belong toā¦ -ishĀ
The Fnaf 4 nightmares belong to both Michael afton and Cc (Crying Child). Now, how does that work? We know that Michael experienced the nightmares because of the security logbook. Paraphrasing here, but there is some writing in the book that says ādo you get nightmaresā and Michael draws nightmare fredbear (or nightmare, but itās just lineart). We know Mike draws this because the things that he writes/draws is in red pen, and the drawingās in red pen. So, Michael experienced the nightmares. But it feels wrong for Cc to not experience them at all. So they both experience the nightmare animatronics. Cc as actual real nightmares and Michaelā¦
Itās theorised that William made some sort of nightmare experiment chamber. Because in sister location, there are cameras of the fnaf 4 house, in ucn one of the nightmares says āThis time, there is more than an illusion to fearā and āI have been made of flesh, by the one you should not have killedā (Again paraphrasing), so they werenāt real before. Also apparently dittophobia has some evidence, but I havenāt read it. The point is, in my au William made nightmare experiments that Michael had to go through, parrelling what Cc experienced in his dreams.
I have WAY more funfacts, and extra things in my au, but Iāve only done 4 so far, and the post is already this long. I would love to do a part 2 at some point, but these are just some things in my au. I hope you guys enjoyed!
The inspiration for this doodle is because in the ultimate guide and the graphic novel, for some reason heās blond??!! Even though in the story heās described as having āDark hairā so brown or black
Also, I just HATE the ultimate guide and graphic novelās depiction of Pete. HEāS SO UGLY WHY??!!!
(I added an extra image from the graphic novel because the blond-er pic of Pete isā¦ fineā¦ I guess. I have less hatred for it than the actual graphic novel)
Uhh, thanks for sticking around for my anger (ą“¦ąµą“¦ą“æĖįĖ)
Iām going to create a new tag fnaf that Iāll put under all my specific au posts. That way if I hypothetically want to post about something fnaf related, but not in my au, I have that option :)
This tag will still apply, even when not everything in a specific post is exactly what happened, becauseā¦ I like doodle-ing. And it could still bring characterisation, even if it didnāt actually happen (wow, Iām really over thinking this)
This is basically just the name of my au
And the tag is #FazGang Au ā®
Note, even though the name of the au is Fazbear Frights related, and my Fnaf posts so far are mainly Frights related, this will just be the name of my ENTIRE Fnaf au. This means that tag will be used when I post about the Games and Novel Trilogy when it applies to my au. As I think(?) I mentioned in my big au post, my au is a combination of the games, trilogy, and frights series. I just really like the frights series. So, just letting you guys know š
Iāll be putting the tag on my old posts :)
(Also when I say āGangā, I mean in a casual group way. The reason I chose gang is because it sounds nicer. I may change it in the future if I feel like it š¤·āāļø)
Ok, so Iām not sure if Iāve been hiding it well (or at all, for that matter) but Pete from step closer, is my favourite Fazbears frights characters, and one of my top favourite fnaf characters in general. Idk why, he just is.
Because heās my favourite, I wanted to share some doodles of him that I had in my sketchbook!
This isnāt ALL of them, becauseā¦ I donāt want to, and Iāll also be excluding the 20 THOUSAND drawings that are just his floating face, because even though itās fun to draw, they all look the exact same. Soā¦ enjoy?
And hereās the reference sheet that I put onto my artfight!
Yippee!!
(Btw, the reason why some are so blurry is because I screenshotted them from a BIG document where I put my character designs, so I can remember them)
ok, so Iāll probably delete this post later, but I was just wondering if this was a scam or official tumblr things. The numbers at the end seem too random to be official, thereās only like, 3 other posts, and I found out about it because I was tagged in the comment section.
Got inspired by Reed being more popular in the Fazbear frights tag, and him being more popular, so I added some doodles I did of him for it!
So I got inspired by the 'Reed has Moral OCD' headcanon by @orcatstra, so I did some doodles of him... either having it or something similar? (Idk what was going through my head, I drew this a couple of days ago)
(Sorry that the images are so big, I dunno how to resize images)
Ok, so people who know the breaking wheel story may be like '...Why is Julius being nice to Reed?' And I do actually have an answer that is canon to my au!
So I imagine that a couple of weeks after their deaths, that's when our frights gang find them, and get pretty sick of their arguing/fighting/hatred-of-each-other. They form a truce with each other, agreeing that fighting all the time is pretty usless and a detriment to the team, or something like that. Not those exact words.
Their relationship goes from enemies (while alive) -> HATRED, THEY HATE EACH OTHER (right after their deaths) -> Shaky truce (After they join the fazgang) -> something? where they are mean and snarky, but can sometimes get along -> Frenimes -> friends that are mean to each other but in a friend way
And their relationship continues from then.
ALSO, this is a very very gradual thing. They die in 2027/2028, and get to the friends point at around 2033-2035, so at the very least 5 years.
Above is a doodle from... a good couple of weeks ago? A while at least. It shows how pre-death(s), Reed was much more scared of Julius, cowardly, and letting Juluis get away with bullying him (Literally canon), as TBW events is a break from the norm, and the one time he stands up for himself.
After their death(s) however, Reed is much less willing to put up with Julius being an A-hole. This is due to ghosts not really being able to feel pain, so Julius doesn't really have anything to threaten Reed with (Other than their shared possession exosuit, but Julius is in that too) and also due to the fact Reed is DONE with dealing with Julius 24/7 and he's at the end of his rope, and probably Reed being mad at Julius for killing him (despite his guilt for it).
Oh, the context to the bread one specifically is a not-really-canon-but-could-be-canon-in-the-right-circumstances situation, where because the teens have illusion disks to 'Be alive', they have to do typical alive things, like eat. Because they are going from place to place, with no adults, home, or job, they are essentially homeless. That sometimes makes them resort to stealing things, like bread. Reed is feeling ultra guilty, worrying a ton.
(Also, sorry if I somehow depict OCD or other mental illnesses badly. I want to do my best to depict them with accuracy and kindness. I didn't go into depth with them here, but it is important to me.)
This probably isnāt the best promoting, but it is something?
Iām doing Artfight this year! I have 2 of my ocās which I love dearlyā¦ and havenāt posted about. I do want to add Pete step closer, but Iāve been so busy that I havenāt had the time.
Link to my profile (Hopefully the link is correct)
An art gifting game
Iāll add the extraā¦ drawing pizazz later (Maybe)
EDIT: I did it! Posted Pete onto artfight! Yippee!
EDIT.2: I added a character profile sheet finally! Hip Hip Horray! (For some reason, it was a journey and a half to get it on hereĀÆ\_ą² _ą² _/ĀÆ)
Ok, so I think I want to explain the basis of my au. I will delve into the basic concept, kinda the timeline because thatās pretty important, and major facts for this to make sense.
This discusses some points of the Fnaf timeline (I would probably make a seperate post maybe of just the timeline and the order of events), remnant and possession mechanics. This is kinda a generally confusing time? But so is most of fnaf, so š¤·āāļø
Letās get into it!
(Btw! Under the cut is extremly long and includes fnaf spoliers for... most fnaf things?)
So, my au combines the fnaf games, book trilogy, and fazbear frights into one existing universe, though I will mostly focus on the frights books probably. (I will say, I havenāt read the frights books after Gumdrop Angel, so any of those characters wonāt be in my au)
The concept surrounding the frights characters, and the main part of the au (?) is that the dead, or bad ending teens, come together and form a group, in the same vein as scooby doo, or like the creepypasta fandom?, in order to deal with general fazbear weirdness and have friends/found family.Ā
Their group started due to the stitchwraith meeting the first 2 members, and over the next couple of decades collecting more members like cats
Talking about the first 2 members, letās go into the order that our members joined/died!
Members:Ā
The first to die in our timeline (Frights characters) is Toby Billingās Hide-and-seek. He dies in 1983, after the bite, not in Hurricane. HeĀ is placed very early in the timeline due to Fazbears pizzeria being in its high, so pre-mci (which in my au is 1985). Shadow Bonnie exists due to time travel ballpit weirdness that Iām unsure if Iāll dive into. Due to soul possession weirdness, Tobyās soul is stuck being a shadow creature, like shadow Bonnie. He spent most of his time alone, trying his best to play the arcade games at night. Untilā¦
Our second character in our group is only a year later in 1984, at the same location as Toby. Surprising!
Alec Shelly Lonely Freddy (That last name isnāt canon, but I did choose it for a reason!). After being stuck in the dumpster for a couple of months, his situation changes one night. An employee comes in and starts taking all the Lonely Freddys/other kids away. Luckily, Alec is able to slip through the cracks and be stuck at the location, where he eventually meets Toby, and they hang out for a small while in a random room. It takes place in 1984 because Freddys is at its hight, AND I have a reason for the Lonely Freddys being made. William Afton made the body swapping toys at around the same time, and for the same purpose as the funtimes. Both of these animatronics were to seem innocent at first, and then get kids to do experiments on. But just because the Lonely Freddys were made at the same time, doesnāt mean itās at the same time.
This is when our group officially starts being a group
The stitchwaith who absolutely didnāt time travel to the past for this exact purpose because I imagine in Fnaf time travel works if you did something in the past it causes the future (Terminator rules), why would you ever think that- goes to the location housing Toby and Alec and forms the group, essentially telling them to go on missions and that kind of stuff. On one of these missions we meetā¦
Pete Dinglewood Step closer in 1985, pre-mci. This takes place in 1985 because Freddys is open and thriving, Pete and Chuckās mother is INCREDIBLY overprotective and would never allow them to go to Freddys if there were missing kids, and a certain side character in Step closer is the same in a very major game event, but weāll hop into that later. Point is, Pete after being hit by a truck and getting his eye and arm stolen, seems find his soul stuck in his dead body and canāt move on.Ā
This is because in my interpretation, the curse was to make Pete EXPERIENCE losing his eye and arm. If Pete lost his arm and eye, then died, he would be able to move on to the afterlife perfectly fine. However, due to him dying before he could experience ābecoming a pirateā the curse was like wait no- and shoved Peteās soul back into his body to see the doctors stealing his body parts. BUT, you canāt just shove a soul into a body and then a couple hours later being like thanks for your time, you can go now no, thatās not how it works (In my au). So Peteās soul is now stuck in his dead body. Donāt worry about the corpse rotting like our resident Michael however, the curseā¦ Idk didnāt let the body rot because you canāt be a zombie AND a pirate, thatās too many clashing demographics. The only time the curse was good.
ANYWAYS (can you tell Pete might be my favourite) Pete manages to not lose any other body parts, and finds himself in a back alley, where Toby and Alec (wow, we havenāt seen them in a while!) find him. They stick together and become close friends together, until our next contestant, quite later.
2008-2009, in Hurricane Utah, we meetā¦
Devon Blaine Marks The new kid. This takes place a lot later than our other stories, due to Freddys actually being abandoned and closed. 2009, because the Twilight movies are referenced by Kelsey (You may be wondering why I take into account twilight movies into the timeline placement and not the fact that cellphones/ texting exist in the previous stories? But shhh, Iāll talk about it later). It takes place in HURRICANE specifically, because of our pal Golden Freddy.Ā
Freddy Fazbears pizzaria is a big food chain, with having locations across the American state. Fredbears family diner, is a small restaurant only in the town of hurricane. Fredbears family diner is the only location with our 2 yellow friends. Spring Bonnie, and Fredbear. After the bite of ā83, our spring lock suits get moved to the Freddys location in the same town, where Fredbear becomes Golden Freddy. There is only one Golden Freddy.
Some additional info that may be helpful. This takes place before into the pit, due to Jeffs not existing.
So, the new kid in this au is in hurricane. Our Fazfrights gang, Toby, Alec and Pete were investigating some railroad tracks due to a certainā¦ big bird, with black feathers, being there in some years prior. For some reason or another, they go to the Freddys location and get to meet a newly dead Devon. Yay! Another person to the team!
Our next member of our team is a girl. Finally! Millie Fitzsimmons count the ways. This is the first story that Iām actually not fully sure what year it should be. Definitely post 2009, and pre-2017 forā¦ reasons. But around this era. This also takes place in hurricane because Funtime Freddy, and Circus baby rentals in general, probably werenāt state wide, because their main location closed the day of its opening. Anyways, Millie joins the team! (Sorry Millie fans for being brief with this oneā¦)
Why it takes place after the Fnaf 6 fire is due to Circus baby. More specifically, a factor from the novels. We all know circus baby right? Clown themed animatronic that has red pigtails and colour scheme, whose eyes turn from blue to green due. Whoās someone else with this similar description? Yup, Eleanor. In my au, Eleanor is the same robot as Circus baby, after Elizabethās soul has left and itās just remnant. Now you may say āoh but Eleanor is really skinny! They canāt be the same!ā And this is where the novels play in. In the 3rd Fnaf novel, Circus baby shows up as a skinnier version of herself, that can transform between the game version, and a more humanoid proportioned version. This āskinny babyā is an altered version of Eleanor. āWhat do you mean by the remnant of baby?ā ā¦put a pin in that.Ā
So far we have Toby, Alec, Pete, Devon, Millie, and Sarah. Our next 2 friends are a 2 for one deal, and so far, the last 2 in our fazbear frights gang (we will be able to move on soon!)
These 2 members join in the late 2020 (donāt remember the exact year, I think itās written down somewhere where I canāt access it right now) pre-pizzaplex and FINALLY arenāt from Hurricane! Drumroll for Reed and Julius, the breaking wheel! These 2 members join after our frights gang hear about a walking exoskeleton with some pulverised corpses in it! Joy! This takes place pre-pizzaplex specifically is because this fact helps link this story to the fazbear brand.
The mega pizzaplex in this universe was created fairly quickly, within a couple of years. This is because fazbear entertainment, being the scummy brand it is, doesnāt want to pay workers to build the giant mall. So, they use exoskeletons, as they are stronger than people, donāt need to get paid, can work 24/7, and canāt sue if they get damaged. How does this relate to the breaking wheel? Well, one of Juliusās parents (probably his father) works with fazbear entertainment, to help build/create the animatronics. Juliusās fatherās involvement with these exoskeletons helped inspire Julius for his OWN exoskeleton.Ā
So, thatās all of the fazbear frights main members and when they join, other than the stitchwraith, which I may delve into later!
Extra expanded knowledge:
Alecās last name
Shelly is Alecās last name. This is because I love making characters related to each other. So, I made a certain blond, green eyed woman be Hazel (Alecās sister)ās daughter from the future. That woman being Vanessa security breach. Now, in the games, we donāt get a canonical last name, so I based Vanessaās last name on the fake (? I havenāt watched the movies) name from the movie. The movies arenāt canonical to my au, but it was a neat starting point.
Step closerās side game character
So, who is this side character who was at a major game event. Introducing Maria Rodriguez, Peteās friend/crush, who happened to wear a certain accessoryā¦ that her friends also woreā¦ in 1983.Ā
Thatās right, in my au Maria is the Chica bully! (And someone else, but weāll get to that soon) After the bite, she moved to a nearby town with her family that some of her other relatives live in. I imagine she already knows Pete, due to him saying they meet in 6th grade.
Now who is this other character that I merged with Maria? Well in order for the timeline to make sense I will add some backstory.
William Afton is a bitā¦ not in the best headspace, who got incredibly angry at the āhooligansā who helped kill his son. So, he found them when they were older and kinda kidnapped them to do experiments or something. Point is, the age a lot slower (I know this doesnāt make much sense and Iām reaching, but I do have something to reach for, so). Afterā¦ that, Maria finds herself working for fazbear entertainment, specifically in the Vr departmentā¦
In this universe, vanny isnāt Vanessa, itās Maria.Ā
I know that it makes sense if Vanny is Vanessa, but I came up with this part of the old au BEFORE the security breach game came out and I really donāt want to change it.
Cellphones
So, how are there cellphones/texting in the 1980s? I came up with a new piece of technology that could actually hypothetically be supported by canon evidence. That is the A-phone (instead of IPhone, haha, Iām funny). This is a kinda primitive IPhone, with mainly just calls and texting created by Afton robotics, just around Hurricane. I created this new APhone because the fact that there are phones is WAY less timeline breaking than popular Freddys locations being open past the 80s. So, whatās the ācanon evidenceā? Fetch. In the Fetch story there is a robot dog called, well, fetch. And fetch is a Freddys robot, from the 80s, that can connect to Gregās phone. Itās not explained in story WHY it can do this, other than to be creepy I guess, but there should be an ACTUAL reason why it can do this. Insert the APhone. I can definitely imagine Fazbear Entertainment making a product (an animatronic dog) that you need a much more expensive product in order to make work (a phone). It could also be an incentive to get the phone. āGet the Aphone and youāll be able to get your very own animatronic dog!ā
Train tracks
In a lot of Fazbear frights stories, there are train tracks. My headcannon/au thing is that all of these train tracks are the same. And I established that the new kid, which has these train tracks, takes place in hurricane, so these stories also take place in hurricane Utah. These stories include Out of stock, 1:35am, the new kid, and blackbird (from memoryā¦ that might change)
KelseyĀ
So, whatās the deal with Kelsey? He is indeed a ghost like the ending implies, and what everyone thinks he is, but I added a unique spin to him. So, commonly in the fnaf/frights fandom, Kelsey is depicted as being ANOTHER soul in the Golden Freddy suit, but often times Devon is too. Makes sense, he died by the suit. Thatās neat and cool, but if Kelsey is a vengeful ghost and is doing this too other kids, wouldnāt there be a TON of extra golden Freddy kids e we never see? Thatās a lot, and not neat. It could be due to my previously mentioned āthere is only one golden Freddy suitā which I still think is true, but I also donāt want Kelsey to be an evil character. I want him to be on the slightly better side of the morality spectrum (and shipping warning, I ship him and Devon as like an enemies to friends lovers slow burn thing, and Kelsey intending to murder Devon kinda harshes the vibe).
So, my version of Kelsey is that he is a ghost that seeks out loner kids (possibly because those are the type of people he hung out with when he was alive?) that possibly have some morality issues, and dies in front of them as a test of character to see if they come clean and then heāll make things better, or at the very least to traumatise them so they donāt do anything like that again (complicated explanation but eh). Devon however, is where things go wrong. None of the kids Kelsey traumatise are supposed to DIE, but Freddys always finds a way to kill more kids.Ā
Illusion disks/Ghost rules
In my 2 previous posts before this, I brefly mentioned illusion disks. I will go into more depth of how I personally interpret how they work in canon, so thatās how theyāll work in my au. Illusion disks seem to emit a high pitch sound, so high you canāt hear it with the average human ear, that tricks the brains senses into experience something that isnāt there. This is used in the Fnaf trilogy, more obviously on skinny baby into looking like an older charlie, but I also think subtly in the first book, as SPOLIERS (But also if you didnāt know this, why are you reading this far down?) our charlie we know is a robot, but in the silver eye she bleeds. The illusions disks trick the senses into seeing and smelling blood instead ofā¦ Idk, oil? The illusion disks are like really effective placebos, that still work even when you know itās a placebo.
Our fazbear frights protagonists, not immediately, probably in the mid 2010ās, get these Illusion disks in order to blend into everyday life more. Now, a majority of our Fazbear frights group are just souls, with a couple in unique circumstances (Pete and Alec). So, the way I imagine souls work in my universe, is that when they arenāt possessing something (weāll get into possession soon) they are kinda just wandering souls, and they have their normal typical form. This is where they canāt interact with anything so they pass through walls, etc, and arenāt visible to the average alive person. Their other form that they can take, which is quite difficult and energy draining, so souls dont typically take this form, is where they are visible and CAN interact with things. This is the form William saw the MCI kids in right before he got spring trapped.
For souls possessing animatronics/other things, the soul is either actively in control of the animatronic, where they are in a first person POV from the animatronic, or they arenāt. Typically when they arenāt, this is because they are stuck with another soul (or remnant, weāll get to it) and the other one is in control. When they arenāt in control, but still possessing something, they kinda live in a floating black void with nothing there (unless there are more souls, where they are also there) or they have the option to wander. Wandering allows them to leave the animatronic, but they can only go a couple of feet away from it, so they canāt go home or anything. If a soul particularly doesnāt want to be possessing an animatronic, if they try REALLY hard, they can break the connection between them and what theyāre possessing, and then itās effectively like they arenāt possessing anything. Imagine itās like their connection to their animatronic is a shackle on their leg, and if they put a lot of energy and struggle into it, they can break that shackle. This is VERY VERY difficult and energy draining, so it only typically works with people who are older (Sorry MCI kids) and who really want to. Devon did this with golden freddy before he met any of the souls in it, and Reed and Juilius probably did it later, because possessing an endoskelleton with someone you hate who killed you, and not being able to do anything when the other is in control, is not a great time.Ā
To get back on track with illusion disks, our dead teens turn into their solid soul form, THEN put their illusion disk on. Because of how the illusion disk works, it also affects the souls. The illusions disks are used to typically trick people into thinking they look like your average alive teen. Because it also affects the soul, it makes it seem to themselves that they are alive, even when they definitely know they arenāt. Since it affects the souls senses, it essentially traps the soul into staying physical and able to interact with things, because alive people can interact with things!
If the soul is like a switch, then the illusion disk makes the switch jam in the āstaying physicalā mode.Ā
Now, some of the souls who have missing body parts, eg arms, have to wear prosthetics under their illusion disk (Particularly Pete and Alec). This is because of how the illusion disks work. Yes, the illusion disks trick all senses into experiencing something else, including the souls, so they should be able to interact with things, but there is one flaw in this model. Physical items, like walls, cups, tables, etc, donāt have senses and therefore canāt be tricked. So what? You may be thinking, they have the ability to interact with things because theyāre solid, what does it matter if theyāre ātrickedā? Iām glad you asked! If a soul put on an illusion disk to show that they have, lets say, an arm, the soul will feel like they have an arm. Theyāll see it, feel it, etc. BUT, if they try to use that not real arm to pick up, say a cup, their arm wouldnāt be able to pick up the cup. It would go straight through, like a video game clipping issue. This is because even if everyone thinks they have an arm, there is no actual arm to pick up said cup. So, if the souls are missing a body part and they want their illusion disk version to have that body part, they have to have a prosthetic underneath to be able to interact with things normally.
Previously in this section, I mentioned that Pete and Alec work slightly differently than everyone else. For Pete, in the step closer section ages ago, I explained how I imagine his curse works, and that the pirate curse made Pete stuck in his body, so heās possessing it just like an animatronic. Because itās a human body however, and not an animatronic, combined with the fact that the curse really wedged Petes soul into it, Pete canāt get his soul out of his body at all. So, his Illusion disk would have to go straight onto his body and not his soul.
Alec is in quite a unique circumstance, even compaired to Pete. Everyone else has a dead soul, because they died, theyāre dead. But not Alec. He just got bodyswapped with a lonely freddy, it didnāt kill him. Because heās not technically dead, his soul works with the body like it would if he was just living normally. Normally, you canāt just detach your soul from your body and walk around, so Alec canāt either. So he has to wear the illusion disk right on what heās possessing, as well as something else. I mentioned the clipping issue and why a soul would have to wear a prosthetic to properly wear an illusion disk, and the issue is most prevalent on Alec. If the illusion disk projected his normal human height, Alec would effectively see out of his knees, and most things would pass through him, which is not good. How he looks as a human could be shrunk down to his Lonely Freddy height, but Alec doesnāt want that. Soā¦ Alec gets a mech suit.
Ok, so itās not literally a mech suit, but it is a metal endo skeleton that he can control, made with proper human proportions.
Remnant
Ok, so, Iām not going to delve into how its created, because honestly I havenāt put too much thought into it, and Iām tired, so Iām not going to explain how it comes into existence. What I AM going to explain is how it works here. If itās put into an animatronic, it essentially give the animatronic itās own independent soul, that didnāt come from killing kids. This includes having feelings and wants, having a non-preprogramed personality, and being able to take the wheel of the body if a soul is inside it. It works as its own independent soul. This was put into the funtimes and why theyāreā¦ like that. The most prominent example is funtime freddy, especially in count the ways. Since the funtimes have remnant, circus baby would have remnant too. Once Elizabeth has been fired (heh) from circus/scrap baby, that remnant becomes eleanor. Because I want it too.Ā
Last remarks
Wow, I say now, so, due, however, and because A LOT in this. Sorry about that. This post has taken me a WHILE to write, taking hours across a few days, and at this very point, the word count is 3951. Jeez. Well, if youāve made it this far, I canāt thank you enough. This isnāt even everything from the au, but it should hopefully be a comprehensive understanding of my au. A future post might be the timeline, and I might be comfortable enough to post doodles in the future, even relating to my non-fnaf interests, but idk. I like being a passive observer. I hope this was understandable and interesting to read. Thank you so much!!
Also, I probably canāt add all the tags I want, so Iāll do it by the characters names first, then if thereās space, the stories theyāre from :)
This has not been proof readā¦ letās hope no major mistakes!
Ok, so I just wanted to thank everyone who interacted with my previous video post! It brings me so much joy when I see that someone interacted with my post!
I still donāt fully know if Iāll be a super regular poster, but I did want to show all you guys my character designs for the Fazbear frights characters, because I just realised that you guys wouldnāt really know whoās who, especially without colour, so Iāll show my designs for everyone (I have designs for!)
(BTW, most of these are just floating heads, because I like drawing heads the most, and I feel like thatās a good way to get their design)
ALSO! SPOLIERS!
(Also, read the alt text if you want some extra design notes) (Don't be concerned that they have no mouth in some drawings, I'm too lazy to add it sometimes)
Most of these are either pre-death, or with illusion disks to look normal
Pete Dinglewood -Step closer (Stupid name):
Alec - Lonely Freddy:
Toby Billings - Hide and seek:
Devon Marks - The New Kid:
Sarah - To be Beautiful:
Millie Fitzsimmons - Count the ways:
Reed - The breaking wheel:
Julius - The breaking wheel:
And now, some more characters I have designs for, but might not show up as often (Not saying that everyone above will show up all the time either)
Kelsey - The new kid:
Nole Markham - Blackbird:
Oswald - Into the pit:
Now I do have more designs for more of the characters, but thatās it for now! I will just say one more thingā¦
The basics of my au, without going into to much depth, is that the fazbear frights stories take place in the same universe as the games, and the teens who had bad ends to their stories, come together and try to sort out the weirdness going on with Fazbears, while going on adventures on the way (Scooby doo style)

So... I haven't posted in like... 5 years. BUT, because I made this video in my spare time, and the Fazbear frights community has just been SO nice and welcoming, and kind of brought back to life? I decided to post this video.
I should also mention. Because I have grown and matured in the FIVE YEARS (hehe, five nights at freddys) since I last posted, I have changed my personal fnaf au significantly, so any posts in the past won't be really accurate at all (I just threw as many complicated things together into a complicated smoothie just to make it complicated so I seemed smart. It wasn't). Also, they are old posts.
I may, or may not in the future make a post about the au? (This video would be in continuity with the au, but you don't really need it to understand the silly video?) I quite like my time as being a passive viewer, and not having the pressure to post anything. So it's a maybe if I talk about it in the future. (I also do like other things other than Fnaf, btw)
If this is the only thing I post, thanks for watching and being such a nice community š
Now the story behind it, I have been watching game theorys videos of it, and a theory on there, is, what if Gregory was an animatronic? And I really like that personally, so, fanart tho shall be.
and yes, I did it in real life, and had to take a pic with my not very clean camera. sue me.
