tw: talk of abuse in fiction
I feel like a lot of people forget that the Sister Location animatronics aren't actually cold, merciless killers. Yeah, Circus Baby is manipulative and can be cold at times, Funtime Freddy is extremely chaotic and aggressive towards staff members, etc.
But they're not like that because they WANT to be.
Those animatronics were forcefully programmed to be killers whether they liked it or not, and if they tried to fight back or go against it, they would be shocked and/or scooped as punishment, which, according to a lot of context clues, genuinely hurts them a LOT. They're basically tortured. And when they DO attack, based off how Circus Baby describes it, it's against their will, they have no control over when their programming kicks in.
Not only that but they all have their own consciousness, even though many of them aren't even possessed, they have their OWN consciousness, they can feel things, they have emotions, they have fears, they are alive.
(Example: The fact Circus Baby knows the scooper hurts and that Ballora is scared of the scooper, likely because of the pain it causes. Plus how Circus Baby describes Elizabeth's death has clear remorse and emotion.)
Which means not only was Afton abusing them and forcing them to do his bidding, he likely purposefully made it so they could feel pain and feel remorse just to add to his sadistic pleasure.
They don't WANT to hurt anyone, they're scared and desperate to escape. They attack Michael because they think he's William, they scooped him because they were just so desperate and so terrified of what they were capable of and the further abuse they could endure had they not left.
Even Funtime Freddy seems to only attack purposefully when he feels threatened, and he's the aggressive one. Like idk about you guys but if I was him and had two technicians who had a history of abusing me trying to take out my power module, which is essentially his heart, I'd be pretty defensive too.
Are some of their actions morally grey if not completely in the wrong? Yes.
Do they do those things out of a place of malice?
Not really.
They're not merciless killers, they're just as much of victims as Michael, Elizabeth, and anyone else who died at their hands.
------------------------
Obviously no hate to anyone who sees their actions differently, this is just my personal take on them. I've never really seen them as evil, just extremely abused and broken.
Also this doesn't include Count The Ways Funtime Freddy or Eleanor since those characters are NOT the same FunFred and Circus Baby we see in SL.

GUYS,,,THE FULL RENDER OF ENNARD FROM THE UCN POSTER HAS BEEN FOUND. ON A GAME THEORY VIDEO. (And more of the Funtime Foxy one that was also used for the character guide)
(Yes ofc I drew and cut out an eyebrow for him)
I don't think you know how long I was looking for that render lmao. So I did my best to cut it out from the video. (With added brow)
Now I wanna know where matpat got these renders. Is Scott like giving him a secret supply of pngs to use for his stuff???
I saw one game icr make ref sheets of their character models with all the details you could imagine for cosplayers. Could you imagine how convenient a fnaf one would be? Then I wouldn't have to go around scraping for slightly different angles and MAYBE a side shot if I'm lucky.

I can do something special, did you know that? I can make ice cream, although I only did it once.
I really wanted to recreate that one ice-cream scene in pixel art. Its probably hard to tell but I tried to fix a weird discrepancy between how the scene is shown in the minigame vs how baby describes it. baby says she was on stage in a small room while the 8bit graphics show her outside walking around. I assume this is just for the sake of having a playable minigame and we should take babys wording as canon, but I decided maybe the background shown in the minigame was how the walls were painted in her pizzeria.

Yes I'm still alive.
⚠ THIS IS NOT A SHIP: DNI IF YOU SHIP THEM. ⚠
Anyways here's some more FNAF: Count The Ways fanart because goddammit Funtime Freddy and Millie deserved so much better. Had Funtime Freddy been able to break away from Eleanor's control or his Afton Robotics programming or whatever was making him so violent, him and Millie probably would have been best friends.
So anyways to combat how sad that story is HAVE SOME HAPPY VIBES.

I forgot I made this render of Ennard. I'd use sfm more often if it didn't freeze my whole PC loading a background.
I put the filter I use for my drawings on these ones.
EDIT: SOME ANALYSIS FOR YOU!!
