In preparation for the rewrite please read (warning will go at beginning of chapter one)
Hello, hello! Before you dive into this fic I first want to thank everyone for sticking with my indecisive ass for so long. There have been many changes made throughout this fic and several rewrites and plot changes and new characters popping up that I got a little overwhelmed. This is going to be a massive project and I'm a one man band.
There is going to be content in here that coincides with the usual fnaf lore but I am also heavily inspired by Stephen King. This means there is going to be gore, visceral, horror elements and awful characters that you will want to punch. There are going to be characters that may make you go what the fuck because of their actions and pasts but I want to make it clear that I do not condone or support any of those actions. There are going to be characters with skewed perceptions on the world and since this is set in the UK, despite it being a future setting, you will find mindsets very similar to our current era. This includes out of date thinking, classism, poverty, living cost crisis (which will make more sense beyond just the AI element of this fic when I dive into more of the worldbuilding)
You, the reader, are a guy in his twenties. The main difference between this rewrite is you are already made aware of your origins and spiralled. BUT you only find out the details through the little glimpses you get in a dreamscape. My job as a writer is to try and be as accurate as possible. This means there are going to be disorders and numerous mental illnesses explained/explored throughout this project, I will heavily research into these of course, however if there is anything I've said that is incorrect please correct me. I know this is quite a heavy authors note and fics are usually fun and light â trust me there's a lot in here too don't worry about that â but this is also a project I'm making to challenge myself.
This is going to be the only warning you get. There is laughter and moments that will make you swoon for some of the characters, but there will be a lot of political talk and crazy lore and worldbuilding that could possibly get confusing the further we go in. Hopefully, there will be a few moments where you'll cry and if there is I will buy us a whole fucking tub of ice cream so we can cry together because I assure you writing those scenes hurt me just as much as they're going to hurt you lmao.
The setting for this is post-war and as such poverty, alcoholism, classism and everything that follows media with this topic is going to be included. There is a new country on planet Earth, a recently established one. They are the ones that started a war with the UK, particularly targeting poorer areas to invoke unrest amongst the population. This entire fic is based around the town I've grown up in and the reader is what it is like having completely different, more educated views than adults who never really continued their education past highschool.
The reader is also a pessimist and has a very negative outlook on life so please keep this in mind as you read this fic. He's a very blunt, no nonsense guy just stating things how it is in an effort to not spiral and dive into the difficult what-ifs of his own identity.
To give you a better idea of what this fic is going to be about allow me to create a list:
Interesting dynamics between characters who are similar in personalities but have entirely different viewpoints.
Polar opposite characters
Who were you before? Where are you? Oh god you're spiralling again and again and again andâ
Cults
My take on the spiritual realm
You are a baby witch in this btw, I'm talking tarot cards, runes, the whole shebang.
Government corruption/ Fazco corruption
Mysteries, puzzles, secrets to uncover
A shit ton of foreshadowing
Difficult topics (Depression, wars, famine, poverty, suicide, self harm, alcoholism, PTSD, lack of disabled access in the park â just because technology has advanced doesn't mean humanity's mindset has.)
Miscommunication
A bit of unreliable narrator (I intend on exploring some character's pov's with very different outlooks on the world. Something they assume is simply being a person/something they were wired to do will come across as something extravagant to someone else. This will be explored)
Grief
Character death
Sun and Moon WILL appear as separate animatronics whenever they decide the timing is right. I won't lie to you, half of these characters write themselves.
Simpery from the get go from some animatronics as soon as they lay their eyes on the reader.
Oh and I've changed the setting a bit so not only is it futuristic but it's got a little hint of sci-fi/space exploration in there.
In other words you are in for a very long ride. We have around twenty something animatronics to introduce and that's without the human characters. I will try and draw them but art isn't one of my better strengths. Please bear with any slow updates/hiatuses â this is not the only big project I'm working on. Hope you got your magnifying glass, ice cream and tissues ready.
Enjoy~
