🌲Welcome to FNAF: Into the Unknown's official blog! My name is Anima and I'm the creator of this faztastic AU! The amazing _gabbybolt2.0 from Instagram created this outstanding logo for the AU! Huge shoutout to them! I'd also like to take a moment to thank @thepurringcatfish for the gorgeous banner art based on pride month! It was a pleasure working with both of these talented artists when making the AU a reality. 🌲What is FNAF: Into the Unknown?🌲
FNAF: Into the Unknown is a FNAF AU that’s based on my personal take of the FNAF storyline. This AU is how I would write the FNAF story if it was hypothetically me instead of Scott Cawthon. Not only that, but this AU is connected to my main story, Anima Sola, which I have information about on my main blog @animaarts11 if you want all the details.
Essentially, FNAF ITU is a part of my oc/self insert’s main story, the second arc to be exact. I decided to tackle FNAF ITU first because of my autistic special interest in FNAF after FNAF: Into the Pit released last year. I’ve always been a FNAF fan since the beginning, when Vincent was all over the internet and people thought phone guy was William Afton. I have years of experience with the lore and thanks to my special interest of FNAF since last year, I delved deep into the fnaf theory community to get all different kinds of perspectives for my AU. FNAF ITU is all the theories I personally believe in combined with my own headcanons and what we know 100% for the story (which let’s be honest, is very little).
FNAF ITU is my main passion project right now, which ties into my giant project, Anima Sola, my original story. I highly recommend reading my Anima Sola post to understand why FNAF ITU connects to the Anima Sola storyline. Lastly, I created FNAF ITU to represent my selfship/soulbond with Michael Afton. It’s a love letter to both Michael as a character and FNAF as a franchise that I love so deeply. This was stated on my Anima Sola post, but my self insert is her own separate character from me, despite her being a self insertion. Her story is her own and is separate from my personal relationship with Michael. You can still enjoy the AU if you don’t believe in selfshipping, soulbonding, any of that yume stuff.
🌲What is the plot?🌲 (taken from my A03)
After dreaming of a magical place where fantasy and fun come to life, Aja is tasked with traveling to Hurricane, Utah, to see what her premonition was trying to tell her. As a trained psychic user who can travel to different dimensions, Aja must find out why fate brought her to the world of Five Night’s At Freddy’s. With many secrets, Aja dives into the unknown, where her entire world changes forever. Journey with Aja as she discovers her true purpose for coming to the FNAF universe, learning and growing as she travels deeper into the code.
Aja Cross is the main protagonist of FNAF ITU. She journeyed from her previous universe after dreaming of Fredbear’s Family Diner. She eventually comes across Michael, David (c.c) and the other bullies on her first day, which changes her life forever. Aja Cross and Michael Afton are the main pairing of FNAF ITU; however, Jeremike is also present. That’s all I can say without spoilers haha. Aja and Michael’s ship name is called Foxtrot, which is based on the dance move of the same name. Take that as you will 😉
I will warn you, FNAF ITU has multiple themes that can make someone uncomfortable, such as abuse (child, physical, mental/psychological), sexual assault/assault (implied and shown) and descriptive details of violence. If you aren’t comfortable with these topics, please refrain from reading FNAF ITU.
🌲That’s all for the introduction post! Please check out my Anima Sola post for more details if you want to know the full picture of FNAF ITU’s connection to Aja’s main story. The link to the AU is in this post if you want to read it! There’s currently 6 chapters out, with 7 in the works. I try to update periodically, but with how chaotic the world is right now, I’m trying my best. My instagram is no longer active, but I’ll do my best to use this blog as the main source of information for the AU.
Thank you for reading and if you decide to invest yourself into the AU!
