(I haven't read the books yet be nice to me about how outrageously wrong this half-joke headcanon is.)
If I HAVE to include Edwin Murray in my FNaF AU, then i'm making him Trans.
Don't "oh it was the 80s" me. Lgbtq+ people still existed in the 80s.
Don't "but he had a bio kid with a woman!!" Me either. There's a mimicking robot advanced enough that they had to lock it in its parents basement. Edwin and his wife can have a bio kid.
I don't think my Drowned Girl design is super accurate, but she IS super cool. So here's her Gacha design.
The lore is that she's. Like. An amalgamation of Cassidy, Charlie, and Angel (Williams sister, an OC).
Technically she's Cassidy, but her general appearance is from Angel, and the brown hair I THINK is in the photo in the story is from Charlie!!
I'll draw her eventually because she has this kind of. Drippy wet tarish(??) Texture thing going on and that's pretty cool. But not right now I don't wanna.
YOU GET IT.
I don't have much to add since you basically said anything I could've.
CassidyBonnie... BVGoldenFreddy... CharlieMCI(ish)...
This is kind of off topic, but it was always kind of confusing to me that Charlie WASN'T connected to the MCI (at least not clearly). She died at the same place OR at a place with the same owners. You THINK they'd connect her to the MCI then (unless she just. Wasn't reported missing or something. Idk. Maybe they DO mention her disappearance being connected to the MCI somewhere and I just missed it).
ANYWAYS you. You get it.
would the masses hate me if i said I prefer cassidy being bonnie like she is in the novels and bite victim being golden freddy
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
Anytime I think my art, writing, or video sucks, I just remember the monstrosity that is AI "art" and the people who make it, and I feel a lot better, because at least I'm putting in some effort and not letting a Machine to do it for me.

Elizabeth deserves a new dad the whole world and a cupcake, therefore I have adopted her. She is my daughter now.
🌿 My Name is Rola, and This is My Story 🌿
I never thought I would be writing this. I never thought I would be begging for help just to keep my children warm, just to feed them one more meal. But here I am, reaching out to you, because I have no other choice.
My name is Rola. I am a mother of two beautiful children, and before October 7th, we had a life filled with love and laughter. We had a home. My children had their own room, filled with their toys and drawings. We would sit together on our balcony, drinking coffee in the early morning light. We had dreams, just like any other family.
But in an instant, it was all gone.
A missile struck. The earth shook beneath us. The air filled with dust and fire. My husband and son ran, stumbling over each other in terror. I stood frozen, the ringing in my ears drowning out my own screams. Our home was shattered—windows blown out, doors ripped from their hinges. And when I looked outside, our neighbor’s house, a place that once echoed with children's laughter, was nothing but rubble and ash.
That was just the beginning.
The bombs never stopped. Every night, I held my children close as the sky rained fire. The sound of explosions mixed with the cries of mothers searching for their babies in the darkness. I covered my children, whispering words of comfort, but how do you comfort a child who is terrified of dying in their sleep?
We had to leave. We walked away from everything—our home, our memories, the warmth of our life before. My children left behind their favorite toys, their books, their safe space. Now, we have nothing.
No home.
No food.
No clean water.
No way out.
I went to buy sugar the other day. It cost $20 for just a kilo. Food is disappearing, and the little that remains is impossible to afford. Every day, I fight to find just enough to keep my children alive.
I am exhausted. I am scared. I need your help.
I never imagined I would have to beg for my family’s survival. But today, I am.
Please, if you are reading this, help us. Help me save my children. Help us find shelter, food, a way to rebuild even a small piece of the life we lost. If we ever have the chance to leave, we need support. If we are forced to stay, we need a home again.
Every donation matters. Every share helps. Every voice that speaks for us keeps hope alive.
💚 Please donate if you can. Share our story. Help us survive. 💚
