Timeline: Main AU

(This is going to be VERY long, so skip through if you don’t want to go through all of it)

1979: Fredbear’s Family Diner opens. The main attraction is Fredbear and Funbun, two springlock suits.

June 26, 1983: Freddy Fazbear’s opens. The Fazbear Four and the Puppet are there.

July 14, 1983: Michelle Brooks goes missing in the forest next to an unknown Freddy’s sister location.

July 30, 1983: Henry Emily removes William Afton from ownership of Freddy Fazbear’s, over concerns of Michelle’s disappearance and child abuse suspicions.

August 5, 1983: Charlotte Emily is found dead outside of Freddy’s, the murderer is unknown. Shadow Freddy is formed.

August 28, 1983: The Bite of ‘83. Evan Afton dies in the hospital 6 hours after Michael Afton, Jeremy Fritzgerald, Fernando Smith, and James Jackson pulled a prank on him. Fredbear’s closes and the springlock suites are retired.

June 26, 1985: Five children, Susie Denver, Fritz Ortiz, Gabriel and Jeremy Jackson, and Cassidy Li, go missing at Freddy’s. Henry Emily is arrested as the main suspect, but no evidence is found. The Puppet gives life to four, one hangs on for vengeance.

August 7, 1985: Freddy’s closes due to health concerns about the animatronics, which have been smelling awful and have been oozing gunk for the past few weeks. On the last day Freddy’s is open, someone tries to break in. After that, Fazbear entertainment assigns a day and a night guard to every location after.

August 19, 1985: Circus Baby’s Pizza World is opened. It is open for one day before closing due to a gas leak. Two children are reported missing after, May Jackson and Elizabeth Afton.

May 12, 1987: Two new Freddy locations are opened, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and Circus Baby’s Rental and Entertainment. For the next few weeks, the technicians and night guards are reporting weird animatronic behavior. At Circus Baby’s, the old Funtimes from the last Baby’s are trying to kill technicians, and have succeeded with a few. At the new Freddy’s, the night guard is saying that the animatronics are trying to hurt him, but they seem afraid of him too. No one takes any of them seriously, except Scotty Brooks, an employee at Freddy’s.

May 19-24, 1987: Michael Afton, under the alias of “Eggs Benedict”, becomes a technician to find more about his sister’s disappearance at the urging of his father. After 5 nights of working and near-death experiences, Michael is tricked into being scooped by Ennard, an amalgamation of the Funtime animatronics. Ennard then uses Michael’s body as a skin suit to blend in with humans.

May 30, 1987: William Afton, the night guard at Freddy’s and the man behind the slaughter himself, kills 5 kids again. This time the kids are found. These kids then possess the new Toy animatronics and Balloon Boy. The day guard, Clay Burke, leaves the job due to the grief of losing his son to the murders. Afton then takes the dayshift.

May 31, 1987: After a week of inhabiting his body, Michael ejects Ennard out of his body. Michael is somehow still alive, despite being a decomposing corpse. He goes into hiding because of his appearance.

June 1-6, 1987: Jeremy Fritzgerald is hired as the new night guard. For the next 6 nights, 9 possessed animatronics, 2 shadows, and an angry ghost try to kill him. Due to the murders, Freddy’s will be closing soon. The day guard leaves out of nowhere one day, and Jeremy is primed to be the day guard for the last day. Jeremy asks his girlfriend best friend, Fritz Smith (formerly Fernando), to be the night guard for one night, and she agrees.

June 7, 1987: At the last event at Freddy’s, the birthday of Jason Sánchez, Jeremy is bitten by Toy Foxy, or Marla Sánchez “The Mangle”. He loses his frontal lobe, but lives. Fritz Smith goes to the last nightshift, and attempts to fix the animatronics by tampering with them, but this just makes them more aggressive. Fazbear Entertainment then bans her from ever getting a job at any Freddy's forever.

June 8, 1987: Circus Baby’s EAR closes due to the lack of animatronics. After the experience at Circus Baby’s and everything with the other Freddy’s, Michael pieces together that his father was the one responsible for everything. He then vows to find him.

Summer of 1993: Fazbear Entertainment tries one more time with Freddy’s, and creates a third location. Scotty Brooks, who has been recording everything that happened to the Fazbear brand, volunteers to be the night guard after the animatronics go through 4 of them. He goes through a few weeks before being killed by HER. He left some recordings on the phone in the office to help the next poor chap. In comes Michael Afton, or Mike Schmidt. He completes his 6 nights with the help from Brooks. But he keeps on getting IT’S ME messages from the old Fredbear suit in the safe room. On his 7th night, he tinkers with the animatronics, hoping that it will set the children free. It didn’t. After a hard night, Fazbear Entertainment fires and bans him from Freddy’s. Soon after they close due to no one wanting to go to a restaurant that has been tied to these horrible events.

Early Fall of 1993: Michael Afton has horrible nightmares that range 6 nights. These are caused by two figures from his past. William Afton breaks into the closed Freddy’s and destroys the four main animatronics. The souls from the animatronics chase him down and he is driven into the old Funbun suit, the suit that he lured the children and killed them in. He puts it on to scare them off, but the moist and moldy state of the suit and the rapid movement sets the springlocks off, killing him. His body lays there for a long time before the entire building is closed off.

2012: Michael adopts a girl named Vanessa.

Spring of 2015: Fazbear’s Frights is in development, and Jamie Jackson (formally James), applies for the Fright guard job. While Frights is being set up, the springlocked Afton terrorizes them for 4 nights, and on their 6th night on the job, they call in Michael who comes over to confront his father. They both decide to set the place on fire and blame it on faulty wiring. Fazbear’s Frights burns, but Afton survives.

Summer of 2015: Henry Emily contacts Michael, and they form a plan to end the nightmares for good. Henry lures Lefty, who holds the Puppet(Charlie) and Golden Bonnie(Michelle), Scrap Baby, who was Circus Baby(Elizabeth), Molten Freddy, who holds the MC, the DC, and Funtime Freddy (May Jackson), and Springtrap(William Afton). They lure them all there and burn the place to the ground, taking themselves with them. All of them pass on except William and Cassidy Li(Golden Freddy).

Fall of 2015: Cassidy traps William in a personal hell between life and death, killing him over and over again with his own creations. Meanwhile, Fazbear Entertainment tries to pick itself up by making games poking fun at the events in the past. They collect the old, burned animatronics, and load in their old hardware. And on one of hardwares is a remnant of William’s soul. By loading him into their coding, William escapes Cassidy’s hell. The Puppet and the other MC pitch in to give Cassidy her Happiest Day, and she finally passed on.

Spring of 2026: After having financial success with the games, Fazbear Entertainment makes a VR game to top off their success. In the development, William Afton infects the code and becomes Glitchtrap. Jeremy Fritzgerald Jr. becomes a victim of his mind control as he tries to take over his body, and eventually tries to kill himself after Glitchtrap tries to invade his body. Glitchtrap abandons him, not wanting to take such a risk, and that’s when Tanya Jackson(Tape girl) comes into play. She discoverers Glitchtrap in the game and tries to tell Fazbear Entertainment, but they brush it off. Tanya makes tapes to warn other beta testers of Glitchtrap, but through those tapes Glitchtrap manages to trap her soul in a Freddy suit in the game, sending her body into a coma. Glitchtrap attempts to possess her body, but it just has her sent to a mental hospital. The next beta tester, Vanessa Afton, finds the tapes and gets a grip on what is the deal with the game. Glitchtrap instead of just taking over body, infects her mind and starts to turn her towards his ways. Vanessa traps in a Bonnie plush, but still hears and sees him everywhere.

Early Summer of 2026: The Special Delivery emails. Vanessa loses herself to Glitchtrap’s influence and becomes “Vanny”.

Late Summer of 2026: Security Breach.

A page from my notes

I know I been keeping that good sweet content from y’all so today I offer some pieces from my notes doc regarding Retrograde. 

Kid Jeremy, the one who was stuffed inside Bonnie, is Mitchie’s younger brother. She had a similar relationship to him as Michael did with Cassidy, but Jeremy wasn’t really a crybaby.  After his death, Mitchie becomes extra bitter. At this point she’s become friends with Michael again but she’s much much angrier and destructive than she used to be. Less cocky and more I wish everyone around me was dead. When rumors start spreading that Henry killed the kids, she latches onto the story immediately, believing him to be the killer and tormenting the already traumatized man through vandalism of all sorts. But no one can prove Henry did it so she wants to investigate

Vanny is also an important character. I know she hasn’t really had all that much of a fnaf canon character development but I adore the current fanon versions of her. I won’t give away too much but let’s just say William’s a little busy being stuck at Springtrap at Freddy’s and needs someone to be his eyes and ears and ensure his son doesn’t remember and ruin his plans again. 

Mike does have a best friend who’s name I tossed around for a while, debating if I wanted to name him after a canon character or not. He’s the one who suggests Mike get the job at Freddy’s as he worked there and knew they needed some security. I decided it’s straight up just gonna be Nathan Sharp’s character from the fnaf musical. His name will be Nate, he will be emo as heck, and I love him.

I really want to find a way to put Stanley from Fazbear Frights into the story because I also love him v v much. Most likely he will have been a friend of Michael’s, a technician working at Circus Baby’s. And we all know what the Funtimes like to do to technicians.

It’s hard to get my ideas across visually as I’m still learning art and wouldn’t consider myself great at it just yet. The best I can give when describing Mike is that he looks younger than he should but in some ways much much older. The scar on his stomach is very deep, the skin kind of folds over itself. The scars on his face, specifically the one on the side of his face are very jagged and I really don’t know how to describe it better asdfg. In his age, he looks like William and when he’s angry, he REALLY looks like William. He always has the faint scent of a car shop, that just hint of rubber and metal and grease.

Mike’s headaches when he remembers things have similar symptoms to migraines. They’re stronger depending on how much he remembers at any given time. The pain is more centered at the front of his head and around his eyes. Generally he carries around painpills as a just incase.

A major plot point is that anyone who gets involved with the Afton family or tries to research the background of the family in any sort of way, goes absolutely insane. That’s what happened to many of the officers who worked on cases regarding the place (The Bites, the Missing Children Incident, etc.) It’s also in some ways what happened to Vanessa. If someone doesn’t go insane, they generally end up dead.

Clay knows exactly who William Afton is and that’s all I’ll say about that.

Also if you guys ever have specific questions you want answered, my ask box should (?) be open!!

FNAF: The Twisted Ones “Liveblogging”/Notes

Finished TTO last night! I was talking in a chat group about everything as I went through the chapters, so I’ve copy/pasted my thoughts below for those who want to know my opinions/notes (may not be super coherent/grammatically sound).

Book continues to imply William was immortal in TSE, as Charlie outright states you couldn't survive springlocks going off

oh yeah, there's also a continuity error I think? because Charlie remembers Dave showing off his scars, but he only showed them to carlton. he had the spring bonnie suit on when interacting with Charlie, so she only saw the ones on his neck

as a side note, Charlie spends several pages talking about how bad zombie movies are and now I want her to chew out michael

there's this other weird line where it mentions Charlie can feel john's pulse through his thumb

TTO's been good so far, but there's this conversation at the beginning that's like "knock his socks off" and Charlie's like "I don't know what that means" ....is that not a thing? because that's not an uncommon expression

there's this great line about Jessica asking Charlie if she's gonna give springtrap a foot massage and like someone needs to draw that

might publish a theory about it later, but I think ennard was sort of blocking Michael's ability to possess himself? then once they leave he returns and starts to heal, which is why white eyed purple guy's color gets lighter over time

oh, and more implications henry's house is connected to whatever the AU CBEAR is: the foundation is leaning as if nothing's underneath of it, and there's a hidden underground room with a metal section that's similar to the one she felt Sammy was behind (who parallels the sister)

Charlie and Jessica are so fucking gay in this chapter. or maybe not gay if Charlie's Sammy but w/e

"She was brave, even when she didn't want to be, and that meant more than whatever notion of romance John was entertaining" like they're not even hiding it

oh, and another hint to the Bitten Child's "pieces" being in the box from 4, as Charlie has that sudden trip-out feeling like she's locked in a small box

the dialogue is amazing, especially the "I think Charlie's doing something stupid" line

also, Charlie getting taken in the bedroom is the thing most similar to FNAF 4, and it's not her house. considering the implications in canon that the minigame house is henry's and the gameplay house is afton's it lends to a nice parallel

also, more implications that Sammy's in whatever the AU version of CBEAR is

also also, I feel like the wolf might show up In the new game (as like not a twisted animatronic). Charlie specially says it's not from Freddy's and it's afton's creation, and seeing as the new game's probably a sequel to SL it'll deal with afton's shit again

fucking springtrap in this, I love this bastard

I fucking love how he says he can see through the twisted's eyes and control them. that is creepy as fuck, especially knowing he was watching Charlie the entire time

and fucking Charlie driving a stake into the fucker vampire style while he just smiles. dude, what the fuck

also how he strokes her cheek and Charlie's just like

only thing I thought was off was how Charlie actually got him to double over just by ribbing the guy. though the guy with a literal endo through him would be more durable

he can also still have concussions apparently judging by his pupil going wonky

'oh no my animatronics can't go through water SIKE THEY'RE WATER AND FIRE PROOF FUCK YOU'

the narration was a bit weird too, like it mentioned him smiling. how the fuck does he smile/frown with a costume on. do they just mean he's like smiling with his eyes or

uh, what else.... can't decide if the animatronics showing up was stupid or awesome. basically it's the MOTHERFUCKING T-REX BITCHES

I also love chica and bonnie ganging up on twisted bonnie together. "bonnie, afton didn't make up a fucked up version of me, can I kill yours?' "sure thing buddy"

clay keeping the animatronics in his basement was awesome, but it's also just this

I would not want fucking golden freddy in my basement. I don't care if it's just a kid in this AU and not related to the bite I would've shipped it off to Alaska let them deal with it

also shadow freddy pops up, and considering Michael once again failed to do shit I'm assuming that was also Michael, much like how golden and shadow freddy seem to be the same entity just a different color in canon

especially because he's the only one who would give a shit about leading the gang over there instead of just beating the shit out of things

not sure what the fuck was up with aunt jen there. did she like... die at some point? because she appears right the fuck out of nowhere and seems very unconcerned with the collapsing building

also, not sure where the hurricane thing came from - my copy very specifically states that it was a tornado that fucked shit up, which actually makes, you know, sense

afton has a brown rabbit animatronic so I'm pretty sure his fursona's a rabbit just like we theorized

oh yeah, and clay fucking shoots springtrap, which is awesome, even if it doesn't do shit

can we not do the “oh no the entire group’s gonna die and they’re going out with dignity“ thing again? we already did it in the last book, we know they’re gonna be fine

Overall, it isn't, like, perfect, but I still like it, and I think it's much better than TSE. There’s some major suspense here - I spoiled myself on everything, and I still felt tension when the action was going on.

I’d say its biggest problem is that FNAF is a game about children's show animatronics trying to kill you because they're haunted - but here, the animatronics trying to kill you aren't haunted, the haunted animatronics don't want to kill you, and the only pizzeria is trippy as fuck, so it doesn't feel all that much like FNAF.

But overall, it was enjoyable for an AU. 8/10
