Ok something a little different for this post!! I’ve been thinking about the daycare a lot so I thought it would be nice to share some of my headcanons while I have a moment!!
Im working on a complete rewrite of my fnaf au so some things listed here may not be kept for my au in future when I talk about it but you guys are more than happy to take some of these ideas for yourself!!
cw/tw for mentions of period blood in one so incase anyone doesn’t like talks about periods n such this is your sign to just be a bit cautious if you decide to proceed. I’ll colour the headcanon talking about it in italics and bolded like this so that it’s easily spotable and avoidable!
• In my au, Ive made it so that Sun and Moon are actually named after their candies and their full names are Mr Sunrise Day and Mr Moondrop Night
• Sun and Moon are commonly nicknamed Rise and Droppy by the staff and not long after opening, the kids caught on and so anywhere that isn’t promotional material for the two uses the names Rise and Droppy
• They’re actually two separate animatronics, the company backstory for them being that they’re best friends with Droppy having a love for astrology and Rise loving the beach hence their names and the theme of the daycare. The reason why the switch happens in game is because Rise is scared of the dark and refuses to be active during the night despite having a love for the stars like Droppy so when the lights go out, Droppy takes over so that Rise doesn’t have to be scared whilst looking after the kids after dark
• Droppy taking over for Rise actually happens every now and again when the power goes out. He ends up needing to reactivate the power via the generators which are normally hidden during the day but are accessible when power shuts down. How that works is that the generators are inside the play structures but shut off via extra walls in the play structures so that the kids can’t access them. When the power goes out, since those extra walls are connected to the power, they lift up which gives Droppy access to the generators
• Despite how some may think, Droppy is actually very hyperactive with the kids and loves interacting with them. A lot of the older kids find refuge in him, it getting to the point where if a kid gets their period for the first time, they’ll most likely ask for Droppy to help them out. Droppy is good friends with Roxanne and Chica so he knows more than what he and Rise were programmed with and swiftly takes the kid to a staff bathroom where they have showers if the kid wants to clean up. The entire time Droppy will be standing by the curtain guarding it so no one can walk in on the kid while Droppy tells a security guard to get some clothes for the kid from Glamrock Gifts. The price for the clothes isn’t charged to the kid and sometimes, if their shoes are in really bad condition, when the kid is comfortable to go back outside again, Droppy will take them to Glamrock Gifts so they can pick out a new pair of shoes. Droppy will also let them choose one of three things for being so brave getting through all they’ve been through! Their options are a plush of their choice, a ton of tickets from the arcade to use on redeeming prizes or a free song request for to use at DJ Music Man’s booth! He does the same for anyone who has already had their first period but had it come unexpectedly during their visit due to the ages allowed in the daycare being 0-13, a section for the older teens (14-19) being next to the section we go in game.
• To get to the older teens section, called Pirate Club to fit with the theme of Kids Cove, all you need to do is to walk into the main area where the gold Rise and Droppy statue is, go right so you’re heading towards where you sign in, and a double door will be there behind the stands the workers use to sign in kids. To be allowed inside, your guest profile will be checked by Staff to make sure you’re old enough to be inside. If you’re there for a birthday party and you’re 13 turning 14, even if the party is a few days before your birthday, staff will still let you in because you’re close enough to being 14 that you can get in.
• Along with their being the two areas of the daycare and the little shop, in both sections there’s a cafe. In the younger kids area, the cafe serves mainly coffees and treats for the parents/careers to have but there’s also a few sweets and drinks along with Sunrise candies and Moondrop lollies if a guardian wants to buy their kid a drink and snack as well. In the older teens area, it’s like a Starbucks mixed with a candy shop and an ice-cream parlour. There’s iced coffees, hot coffees, candies, ice creams, sherbet- anything you want, they probably have it. Due to the kids being older and being able to make decisions of their own whilst being responsible, all the drinks come in limited edition cups exclusive to Pirate Club. You get a choice of your cup being ceramic or hard plastic, and if you want a different kind of drink to the one you got earlier, all you have to do is hand over your collectable cup and your order and they’ll clean your cup and serve you your drink in it. It saves the staff handing out more cups, and saves you carrying like 6 around at the end of the day. If you want to collect them all though to bring back at a later date, that’s also an option! The Pirate Club’s cafe, also known as Davey Jone’s Beach Locker, is extremely flexible since the staff are attendants just like Rise and Droppy called Shell and Ocean!
• Shell and Ocean were twins made to run Pirate Club so that the kids who wanted to interact with animatronics could do so with two who were especially designed for their age group and area. Shell and Ocean, unlike Rise and Droppy, are actually very in tune with the latest news about celebrities, video games, politics and a variety of other topics due to the age group of Pirate Club being much older than the daycare. Shell and Ocean are programmed to help the kids with study if they need it, lots of uni students actually being allowed to use Pirate Club’s study area for their own study time if needed via a special pass.
• Pirate Club, as mentioned previously has a study area and cafe. It also has a play room just smaller than the daycare’s and a dimly lit room made up for pillows, blankets and plushies called The Pillowfort made for anyone who’s nervous or having a panic attack or anyone who just needs a moment alone or in silence to be able to relax properly without a parent hassling them to hurry up or being in a loud environment. It’s a nice area to break away from the loud and flashy environment of the pizzaplex and is also used by animatronics and staff as well!! The room is quite big, so it’s a way to wrap yourself up in your own little nook or cranny and have some time to yourself. Sometimes upon request, you can even have Shell or Ocean hold you/cuddle you while you’re in there if you want a friend nearby for some comfort.
And that’s it for now!! I’ll come back with some drawings of Rise, Droppy, Shell and Ocean once I get my computer back tomorrow so you guys can see how they look!! Also, to those of you with asks still in the inbox I promise I haven’t forgotten about you!! I just wanted to share some of my own headcanons in a separate post- your submissions will be answered soon!! Thank you for all your patience 💜
I hope you guys enjoyed these headcanons!!
