Rules on @/let-me-be-surprised.
Verse One- Main. Freddy, in my portrayal, isnât possessed; he hangs out with his three friends, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy on the daily, performing and scaring the night guard because itâs fun!
*Note about portrayal:
Freddy and the others, in this canon-divergent AU of sorts, are, again, not possessed, but they have the thinking skills of adults, pain sensors, can blush, cry, make realistic facial expressions, have longer fur/feathers, etc. Theyâre still animatronics⌠just not, ya know. They donât have humans stuffed into their bodies.

- Freddy is gay, but closeted. He has an intense, very strong fear of ridicule and rejection, however, and therefore hasnât told any of his friends; heâs very much in love with Bonnie. Additionally, Freddy also fears that, if the kids that come to the place were to find out about his orientation, they would also reject it.
- Terrible self-esteem, impostor syndrome, and he cares about others to a fault, often finding himself exhausted for âsome reasonâ because he usually doesnât realize that neglecting himself in favor of everyone else first- others are always first- will do that.
- In my AU, the animatronics are able to eat and drink (even though they donât feel hunger or thirst), can smell and taste things, etc. Freddy and the other three have maintenance checks every Wednesday night when the establishment closes. The employees, frankly, find it gross and irritating to remove the metal âstomachâ compartment and dispose of whatever the animatronic has consumed. Rightfully so tbh.
- They can also cry, blush, and even faint if their system overheats or malfunctions in equivalence with humansâ overstimulation. It just doesnât happen as easily as it can for us; for Freddy, heâs the most prone to overheating and/or fainting because the animatronics have internal mechanisms that serve as a nervous system or what-have-you. This is because he usually becomes âworked-upâ the fastest, overloading his stress sensors and causing a temporary shutdown of his system.
- When he becomes nervous, his ears will move and angle around more without him doing it consciously, and if heâs actually scared, theyâll flatten against his head, and one of his ears will continually twitch in an uncontrollable ânervous ticâ of sorts.
- True to the nature of cartoon bears, Freddyâs fur is very soft, especially around his cheeks and ears. Plus, the children love receiving hugs from him! Itâs one of his favorite parts of having either birthday parties or just daytime visits to the pizzeria!
- Heâs become pretty good at balancing cake (or just pizza plates, etc) on his flat palm over time, and the youngest of the children often giggle and cheer because they think itâs cool; Freddy does it for that very reason, puffing his chest and sometimes sneaking a fake mustache from the back room before he does this, speaking in a funny Italian accent. The kids LOVE that part!
- The deep belly laugh heâs famous for in the games isnât actually his natural laugh- itâs done during onstage banter and performances for comedic purposes. The music box inside was designed, in this verse, to comfort children who are, for whatever reasons, frightened/sad/generally upset; if a child is upset, Freddy can often detect it if he isnât preoccupied, and heâll make his way over to help by sitting down with the child, making his eyes glow on and off (but not flicker), and, if the child wishes, put an arm around or hug them. The tune is quite handy in these cases!
