this is out of chronological order (of creation) now- but this piece is the only tfbf art i've posted on my main. this is a sort of self-respost, then. It's still one of my favorites.
This "scene" wouldn'tve been in the toys era and definitely not in the fredear's/circus baby's era, because they're not children here and Goldie would be withered if they were in the location with the toys. This is probably set around the very last location to pop up in the au, based on the fnaf 1 location.
I just thought this'd be cute, tbh. everyone was supposed to be plushies but then I made them sentient for some reason so I guess she's just holding chibi versions of the others.
woah..... HUMAN OCS in MY FNAF AU? it's more likely than you think./silly
but anyway. This is Dante, and Samuel. The art here is supposed to be focused on Dante, but i'll be talking about both Dante and Samuel.
Dante is the security guard for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (the final location)- and also was for fredbears way back when too. After he was injured for a reason only known to him shortly before Fredbear's was shut down, he took lots of time away from the franchise to recuperate. Then years later, when Freddy Fazbear's opened, he inexplicably applied for the security guard job opening. Heaven knows why such a flighty, paranoid man would want to come back to the very place of his nightmares again- especially after the whole incident he endured... But it seemed like something- or... maybe someone? Convinced him. That despite his fear of the place and it's robots, maybe a different fear of something else was driving him.
okay and I GUESS i have to address the elephant in the room.../silly
The purple corpse on the left is not this AU's variant of Michael Afton, but more-so it's William. Samuel, is this AU's "William stand-in"- which means Dante is the brother of the worst character in the au!/silly Samuel wasn't born purple. Just like Michael in fnaf, he was scooped by Ennard and turned into a purple zombie. It was their ultimate revenge on their creator and tormentor.
Samuel was mentioned in past posts before. Not by name though- not until now. Samuel was there from the very start of the timeline. He started as the mechanic for Fredbears and steadily became the root of all the agony and trauma across the entire story. Now, I could describe everything he does over the course of the timeline, but it wouldn't be fun to just spill it all out right here!... of course, if there's any questions asked about him, ill be happy to answer though :) I just won't guarantee i'll give you the exact response you're looking for every time...
