ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog
DANSE MACABRE!
I'd argue that Cassidy and Charlie don't get very much either, BUT that's a rant for a separate post. The point here is that yes. I agree.
FNaF has a MAJOR problem with just... making characters to help move the plot forward then throw out. The MCI and DCI are the most major examples of course.
They exist so the main plot can happen, and they don't do anything else major after that, but even FNaFs more developed characters get this treatment.
We get a weird amount of information on Michael Brooks from the Silver Eyes Trilogy only for him to be... thrown out right after. Seriously, we get this kids FULL name, appearance, parents names, goal, animatronic he possesses, friends, etc, only for him to not be used again after the Silver Eyes Trilogy. (hes maybe used again in the movie but my point still stands)
Or ANDREW on the opposite side of the spectrum. He just shows up out of nowhere to be at LEAST a TOYNSHK stand in (or maybe TOYSNHK himself, not gonna argue over that here). We know nothing beyond "alligator mask and curly black hair". We get to know a little before they throw him out of the story and he never comes up again.
For modern FNaF, I do think Steel Wool WANTS to treat the characters better, Gregory and Cassie are good characters and I really like them, but game Vanessa got cut so much she hardly feels like a character at times (they butchered my girl...).
Like I know the movie gets hate for the characters being "shallow", but i got a better grasp of movie Vanessas personality in the first movie than i have on game Vanessas personality. (mostly to the fault of me not understanding anything in Security Breach probably, but also those damn cuts.)
I agree with the idea that there should've been short stories for all of the MCI. Fazbear's Frights is like a collection of creepypastas and I love it for that, but I'd rather have a story about Gabriel or Jeremy then a story about Matpat x Springtrap mpreg or fazgoo.
Like most of the minor books characters get more development than the games characters, that's insane. Why do we know that Heather Anders from The New Kid has two little sisters, but not what Fritz's last name is?
The only characters with development are Elizabeth/Circus Baby (until they massacred her in Pizza Sim...), Michael, and William. Everyone else is there ONLY for the plot, and even then these 3 are usually only there for the plot too.
FNaF makes too many characters to fill roles other characters can (I love you Andrew but at least 5 other characters could've took your role and it would've made more sense), and then throw them out because the plot doesn't need them anymore.
I love FNaF SO MUCH, always will, but it has a massive problem with "making characters for the plot because why not". Like at least give the poor DCI names come on. Glad it's getting better though, even if Vanessa got butchered in the cuts...
Something that really bothers me with FNaF is how Scott doesn't really develop many of the MCI kids properly, it's honestly kind of upsetting, everyone but Susie feels like a stepping stone of a character.
I wish Scott would give grace to the MCI kids and hell maybe even these DCI kids that probably exist but we don't even know for sure?? it just feels depressing how a lot of the MCI are treated in the series, I really wish they were all given motivations, goals and personality like Charlie and Cassidy in the logbook.
I honestly think Scott should've written short stories about every MCI victim, like I want to know about these kid's lives before death and actually show that these kids were living breathing human beings and not just a number.
Scott kind of has an issue with making nearly all of his characters plot devices for the story, they kinda just go from a to b with nothing in between a lot of the times.
Something I really enjoy about Steel Wool is that they seemingly actually want to develop their characters, like Vanny had so much content until it was cut, Gregory and Cassie have a lot of character and I don't know if thats SW or Scott or both, but I enjoy it so much more and actually care about these characters because there's something to care about! I just wish it was the case for the MCI kids aswell
The Jeremy's talking (and their designs).
Why did my old Jeremy look like Andrew hello??
Never kill yourself ever cause good things can happen and there is hope in the world.
Was thinking about the FNaF DBD collab and ended up getting an idea for my FNaF AU.
Will probably put this idea in my UndecidedAU if I use the idea. I think this fits that AU the most (TOYSNHK being Williams kid and all in that AU).
I am making this post on behalf of my friend, @hashembadr. Hashem is #102 on @gazavetters’ spreadsheet.
Hashem is currently raising money for his family in Gaza. There are 26 people in his group, including himself. 13 of them are children between the ages of 3 to 16. Among these children is Hashem’s neice, Suhaam, who is 9 years old.
Suhaam was injured on October 22, 2023 and had to have surgery on her left arm. Due to the war and repeated displacement, she was not able to receive follow up treatment or rest as needed. Now, her arm has healed badly and she needs a revision surgery. She experiences pain and has trouble moving it. She has trouble holding toys. It is possible she may lose the arm if she does not get this surgery soon.
GoFundMe takes a 2% commission from donations, and the transfer fees to Gaza take another 30% off of that reduced number. In order to pay for his neice’s surgery, Hashem will need to raise $5,920. ($4,700 for the operation and treatment, plus $111 for the GFM commission fee, plus another $1,110 is the price of transferring the amount to Gaza 30% for the transfer fee.)
A large portion of the current GFM funds (about £6,000, give or take) were used to pay for two replacement tents after the three they were living in were destroyed by shrapnel in an attack, a bed and mattress for Suhaam, and daily living expenses. (I have tracked those expenses here, but the links are broken because tumblr terminated Hashem’s old blog.) As such, the GFM must reach £11,000 for Suhaam to get her surgery.
Hashem is a good friend and we have been chatting almost daily (when he has internet) for months now. There isn’t much I can do for him except to make his voice louder. Please share this post and donate if you are able! Tagging for reach below!

I have now had someone tell me the Withered animatronics CANONCICALLY become the Rockstar animatronics and I am. So confused now. Because in all my years of FNaF I have NEVER heard anyone but them say that. So now I'm just wondering if I missed something somehow. Help??
so the usa is in a constitutional crisis rn— the Supreme Court has ordered the trump administration 9-0 to bring kilmar abrego garcia (an innocent and legal man kidnapped and wrongfully deported to CECOT in el salvador) and the trump administration is refusing. instead, trump asked the president of el salv to build more facilities bc maybe “homegrown” = american born criminals will be next. CECOT does NOT let prisoners out. they sleep on metal beds with no padding. their heads are shaved. they are beaten. on google satellite people uncovered a massive red looking puddle outside one of the buildings and the location has since been blurred / made unavailable. they either don’t want to bring kilmar abrego garcia back bc of what he will share from the experience…. or they can’t.
and remember — the SUPREME COURT has ordered at vote of NINE to zero for trump to bring him back and he is refusing.
Women are too smart to work at freddys/j.
Seriously though we DO need more Female employees in the FNaF games, even if its just OCs.
why are there no female employees in the FNAF games apart from Vanessa. genuine question. There’s plenty of female protagonists in the books but 2 in the games and one doesn’t even work at Freddy’s 😭 this is why I praise anyone who makes female employee ocs
