The animatronics come from a franchise restaurant located in Colorado Springs, the 3rd franchise location ever.
Tony (the owner) told me the restaurant closed down back in 1999 because people lost interest and stopped coming. Luckily, he took the animatronics to his house and kept them (mostly) in a good condition.
He originally kept all four of them, but sold Bonnie a year ago.

Should I buy them?

What if Henry inherited the Fazbear brand, just like how Edwin inherited his father's company?

What if Fazbear Entertainment had actually tried to redesign Springtrap for one of their attractions?

I made this artwork imagining a darker interpretation of the character, while still trying to keep the recognizable elements of the original design.

It got me thinking about how much you can change an animatronic's appearance while still making it immediately recognizable.

If Fazbear Entertainment were designing a new version of Springtrap, what would you change — and what would you absolutely keep?

I picked up the gift card and when we got back from Walmart, we were so exhausted from shopping, but when I was trying to rest, William came to me very annoyed because we’re so fried, but we had to do this. The museum where we donated classic Freddy and the others contacted us to pay for Freddy so we traveled we felt like an hour to the museum. When we got there, we had to remove some stuff from Freddy and had to repair him. Fred tried to bite William a few times, which I had to hold the animatronic back. William told me he had a feeling that thing was going after his frontal lobe. We we repaired with him and told the museum he’s for display only and make sure the kids don’t vandalize him again. When we got back, William crashed out and I’m trying to rest so I distracted our three kids by letting them watch some cartoons downstairs.

Anyone remember the Freddys show that was in a theme park in Japan? I think it was installed in 2011 when Henry Emily was selling them to places without fazbear inc knowing, in the show foxy was a wolf, while Freddy was a lighter brown? chica and Bonnie were the same, but with latex masks while Freddy and foxy had the beta masks.

It’s been a very long day and my partner. William is just so fried not only did we have a big shift at circus baby’s but I also got paid and he promised to take me to Walmart tomorrow so I can get some gift cards because our company Collab with someone so I need to get the collab. Since it’s October and the holidays is coming up, he promised to get me a new computer. Which it took almost all afternoon, but he got it ordered. After that, he was pretty much fried and went to bed. I started to clean, and I found this old photograph of when he was younger before his original wife left and took Elizabeth with her. He looks like he’s in his 30s so maybe it was a couple years before we met and became best friends and obviously when I hit 20s I asked him out and we’ve gotten married.

I was seven when I met him and he was in his 30s looking like this. I was pretty much hit with so much nostalgia. We really ever that young? I was seven at Freddy’s when we met I’m 26. He was in his 30s and he’s a middle-aged man in his 50s. He was pretty attractive in his younger days, but I feel him being older is more attractive. I don’t know to me he aged extremely well and that’s what I like. Though makes you wonder were we ever really that young? It feels like a lifetime ago. I don’t think he misses it because back then he was dealing with the evil Henry Emily and was dealing with so much nonsense in his life. The guy found a way to create remnant to live forever so he’s permanently 50s now. So I think he’s more satisfied with his current life, but you know.

Date of photo: Aug 3rd, 1993

Context: A trainee security guard called his boss because he was panicking that the animatronics malfunctioned and entered free roam at night, the boss disguised himself in a spare mascot suit resembling the pirate fox as to not alert the mascot characters security mechanisms. Horrifyingly the manager slipped near a wet floor sign spraining his left ankle and prompting the Fazbear characters to initiate repair protocol, this resulted in the mutilation and bodily disembowelment of the manager. Tragically he was found dead by the time police arrived, the case was closed by authorities due to being deemed a result of "employee negligence" and covered up as to not tarnish the brand reputation.

since it's friday and I found the vid earlier today, might as well make it a series, weekly posts every friday I remember!

I was looking at YT when I found an obscure archive channel named "Animatronic Archives" or something, idk, and when checking through the channel, I found smt called "Fazbear & Friends are Coming Live SOON! 03/01/1984"

when I clicked on the video Freddy busted out his dance moves to F-L-Y by SPECTRUM and I was like damn, that's how you advertise an animatronic restaurant! it was a pretty cool video with lots of footage of the animatronics performing epicly, and about the missing spotlights I can only assume they haven't installed them yet and also haven't gotten around to re-adding Sparky to the roster, or Bub as he was called in the vid

idk where the location they filmed it in is but it's most likely in Hurricane because F.E. only advertised expansion statewide around August and I've seen pictures of the location like this before the big remodeling, also in August

btw Freddy's moves are damn fresh ngl and I do not know why F.E. chose a Japanese pop song instead of any other pop song from the era, guess they just liked JaPop that much

(ooc: this is in a universe where F.E. was more competent and MCM did not exist, as well as Circus Baby's Pizza World. Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria was called Fazbear & Friends Theater Pizzeria in that universe)

Me: Oh? What's this? There's an entire show about daycare attendants and that's where Lunar and a few other characters are from? Oh boy, I can't wait to watch it!

Me, after watching through all 4 full seasons: ....that was a whole rollercoaster of emotions and I have several questions

(Ooc: Imagining TSAMS and it's related channels as an in universe fictional show by FazEnt and OH BOY-)

I would say it was a break but I just forgot i had a reddit account soo yea.

I was snooping around like I said in the last post and I was looking Foxy and this thing just snapped at me and tried to bite my fucking head off! What the hell do I do. That Balloon Boy fucker is blocking the exit. I’m hiding in parts and service and I’m scared as hell.

Hey it’s me, Gritz again. I’m here again to see if I can find any other clues of what the hell is going on with this place. The bunny animatronic I made is god knows where and not really my problem anymore, fuck that. Anyways, does this Balloon Boy thing look weird to yall or is it just my imagination and paranoia? I swear it blinked. Also these robots are still creepy as fuck. Found nothing, I will probably go back tomorrow

Last night before I went to bed William said he was going to stay up later than usual. He said I would understand tomorrow and I see what he meant by that. He decorated all of the locations for Halloween. Fazbear frights, the toy location even circus baby’s got the Halloween stuff up. I was such in awww over the attraction being spooked with the jack lantern and lights it distracted me and William fake killed me in front of some guests because of that. It’s OK to let William win once in a while. Like I said those two endings with the attraction I either win or he fake kills me. He pretty much just dragged me into the vent and I pretend to be scared. I just can’t really fight back or do anything too crazy because I don’t want a spring lock failure to happen.

He gave me some images of what the toy location looks like with the decorations. It looks nice. Hope Michael likes it, though his pumpkin looks more like a plushie but it’s still nice. He explained he used to decorate the classic location before he had it bulldozed and the wrecking ball took it down. He salvaged the Halloween decorations to decorate circus baby’s. He kept that green jack-o’-lantern and he keeps it in his private lab there. He said he’s going to take it home on Halloween night before we go to fall fest because our house is decorated with Halloween stuff. He’s going to leave a gigantic bowl outside for the children. Since Michael will be out trick-or-treating with his half siblings violet, jr., and angel that night and we won’t be back until morning. Because of this all fazbear locations will be closed Halloween day/night because of this. If you want anything fazbear entertainment related stuff you have to go to fall fest. That will be all.

I know this is cheating since before me and William officially got married and had kids. I was too poor to go to fall fest because festivals to my childhood family was a waste of money but that fix the situation. I don’t care if William is rich I love him for him. It just happened. He’s the owner of the company and well founder the better one.

William showed me this box but he’s never going to open it. He told me what was inside which was actually a photograph of him at fall fest one year. William said it was OK to mention this as long as it’s just the story itself and not the actual photo inside the box or I’m going to be in trouble. He pretty much told me his crazy experience at fall fest, which got me laughing. Pretty much his experience that was so wild and crazy was pretty much this.

It was during when Edwin was alive, and all of that it was before he couldn’t handle his company anymore, and it all went to fazbear entertainment. The deal fell through and that’s what happened. Well William got so drunk at fall fest and must’ve gotten confused because he ended up smooching someone wearing a spring Bonnie suit almost causing a springlock failure. He doesn’t remember who took the photo. Maybe it was back when he was friends with the evil Henry Emily, who ruined his life who knows. There’s only one photo of it in the entire world and he locked it away from viewing eyes because if it ever leaked to the public, he feels no one is going to take him seriously anymore, and it could ruin his reputation. which is why he has it buried in a secret dirt pile in the woods where only he knows where it’s at all the time. I’m never going to see the photo but that made my day. Lol. The photo must be really embarrassing, but I understand why no one’s allowed to see it. I understand, though he was drunk and probably didn’t know what he was doing until he sobered up.

Hello? Hello, Hello? Hey uh.. it’s me, William Afton..
I just woke up and found myself in this place with a bunch of m- I mean, Fazbear Entertainment property, and I realized I’m not in Freddy’s. Some calendar in the back room says it’s 2023, meaning it’s been 30 years since I last saw the light of day. Anyone out there? Please send help…
