My favorite part about the Charlie Trilogy is the fact that, while the “Charlie was a robot” reveal _seems_ like something the writers came up with between books 2 and 3 as a way to resolve an unsolvable cliffhanger, rereading them makes it clear that that twist- or something like it- was planned the whole time. There are tons of moments from the first two books that hint towards it: Charlie saying that it feels like her early childhood memories belong to someone else; the unexplained markings on her dad’s workshop floor that turn out to be where the camera that recorded her “memories” was mounted; William looking shocked and describing Charlie as someTHING special (rather than someONE special) when he first gets a good look at her; the fake blood found at the scene of William’s “death” (which can’t be his doing since he really did bleed from the springlocks)… the list goes on. The reveal may not make perfect sense logically, but it was absolutely prepared in advance.

This hammers home my belief that FNAF should've never tried to directly cater to a children's audience despite revolving around child murder.

I think it was possibly from people younger than me like 11-12 when FNaF first came out whereas I was like 18 at the time of FNaF's first release. So, to me, Afton was ALWAYS an Eloquent Edgy Knock-off Joker. I think the books portrayed him perfectly, down to even how he was drawn in the first graphic novel. The first time I saw it, my initial reaction was, "YES! This is exactly what I thought Afton would look like!" Because, to me (an adult at the time of Afton's reveal in the FNaF games), child killers aren't spooky silent bloodthirsty killers akin to Jack the Ripper. Child killers in my mind at the time of Afton's introduction were pathetic individuals too weak and scrawny to attack anybody their own age. But I could see how somebody younger would have gotten the perception of Afton as this dark and mysterious spooky killer man.

Also that one scene earlier in the book where Matt was trying to steal Jason's date during the double date, I kept cracking up during that scene because I couldn't pronounce the Italian words. I was such a giggly mess that I accidentally said "It wasn't, it was GARY" in the most disgusted MatPat impression I could and ended up wheezing at myself after the fact.

I think the angel one could have been improved if instead of Angel eating the gum drop. The step-sister eats it in front of Angel to tease her during an argument after the party. The story then changes to the perspective of the sister who notices a strange rash on her skin the day after. Thinking that angel might know something about this since Angel is a fan of fazbear (maybe it's revealed in her thoughts that she only wanted a party there to spite Angel), she demands that Angel helps her. Angel seemingly agrees to help her and suggests that they go check the restaurant to find out the ingredients of the candy. The sister notices that Angel is acting strangely more complaint, but passes it off as Angel finally "understanding her place". This however is just a rouse as Angel ditches her while they were inside of fazbears, and she proceeds to get lost and she gets put into a box. The POV Then switches to Angel a few months later, at her birthday party at Fazbears, her stepfather now treating her better with the disappearance of his daughter leaving him with no one to spoil but Angel. The giant gummy candy lady is then presented and it shares a faint semblance to the step-sister. When Angel receives the gumdrop, she proceeds to give it to her step father as a thank you gift for the party. "Oh Thank you for the gumdrop, Angel" the father says before ploping the candy into his mouth.

[@JoyOfCreativeService]

And one last thing, I got the novel trilogy from the library the first time I read it, and I had to wait like 2 weeks in between TTO and TFC, and in that time, I was actually able to predict (and have my boyfriend confirm that I was right) that Not Charlie was an endoskeleton with an illusion chip in it. So I think that was good foreshadowing/setup that they did. I didn't like Dance With Me though. Ballora just wasn't threatening at all. Like yeah, she was going to be a criminal forever, but there weren't any police or anything that was chasing her or even mentioned as a threat to her continuing to be a criminal. (Okay so this wasn't one last thing) I really liked Coming Home. Specifically, I really liked the part where the mom is reading Samantha the book about the sad ghost going to live with a bunch of other ghosts so it can be a happy ghost, which is where the title's double meaning comes from. However, the storybook also calls the other ghosts "the ghost's family" or something like that, which would seem odd because the other ghosts are seemingly random ghosts and not the ghost's actual family, but I believe it's a callback to Dave referring to the animatronics as his family, and him calling the day they died "their happiest day" all the way back in The Silver Eyes, which I think is really cool.

Afton being happy with being Springtrap does make a certain amount of sense to me, it was the suit he always wore when killing, he had some kind of obsession specifically with Golden Bonnie, and it was the suit he ran to for safety from the souls of the slain children. But it is a little odd that he's otherwise functioning pretty normally while being a mangled corpse in a springlock suit, so it could be more interesting having him lose himself to his fury and madness being forced to suffer in pain eternally as the suit he loves is constantly trying to crush him.

It also doesn’t cool down much at nights. I just found it strange to say the trilogy is in a desert but not actually treat it like one.

Basically, the books were originally a way for Scott to explore a more story-oriented way of telling the lore so they were originally intended to be separate from the games. However, the newer games after fnaf 6 definitely follow the original silver eyes series way closer than you'd expect. The pizzaplex stories actually set up the plot in the new DLC ruin in its epilogues. I suspect that the new movie coming out will also draw heavily from the silver eyes series. So the books were originally an experiment that later played a bigger role in the overall franchise.

Plus it adds new characters to the franchise instead of making variations of the main 4 we already know which is really fresh.

I’ll say this about the way they took Springtrap in Twisted Ones, actually: While the execution is undoubtedly not the best, I feel like him being weirdly joyous about his fate is if nothing else, quite disturbing. Like, think about it: him dying in that suit and suffering and stuff IS a fitting end to such a horrible killer… except it wasn’t the end at all. What should have been it was instead only the very beginning of something very special. And to take all of that irony, all of that justice, and spit in its face and say “fuck you, I am on cloud nine” feels to me like embracing that beginning. Not to mention, when a villain is as masochistic as he is sadistic, it becomes very, VERY hard to figure out a way to deal with him, doesn’t it? What doesn’t kill him makes him stronger and all that. Eh, maybe I just have a soft spot for villains who simply cannot be affected by anything the heroes do unless it’s truly fatal, villains who approach the most serious and terrifying things as if it’s all one massive game and they’re just having fun. Actually on that note, it makes even more sense for a story about the corrupted image of a restaurant experience “where fantasy and fun come to life” to have a villain that embodies the sense of fantasy and fun gone terribly wrong. I do agree that the execution is still not the greatest though

[@LoreSeamstress]

Here's a great question no one behind these books seems to have asked: what does the Fazbear company *want*? In the games they never do anything more outright evil than covering up and making light of all the murders that keep happening. Circus baby's entire nonsense was afton's fault. He made things work that way, and everyone just kinda had to clean up after his mess while keeping maulings to a minimum. Freddy Fazbear, the company trying to save face in a shitty way, is not the company in these books. This is Freddy Fazbear, the company that is actively creating products that kill kids, and sometimes outright killing them. Lonely Freddy being discarded after the swap is too perfectly timed to be coincidental, and they actively murdered angel by feeding her to the other children. But what the fuck is the point? Agony and remnant and legacy can only explain so much aimless destruction. This is something else. They just haven't decided what that something else is and it bothers me.

[@creekkid42]

Thanks for reading all these so I don't have to! A couple of insights from the publishing world (I'm an agented children's illustrator, author and graphic novelist). All of the FNAF books are likely ghost written and work for hire. The way work for hire books usually work, is that the publisher provides parameters and themes for the book, and then the author has pretty much free reign. So, this is just speculation, but I would guess there is a master list of themes and some sort of lore bible that is given to the authors, then they can pick what they want to write about. That's how you end up with stories that are so similar. It depends on the what sort of deal Scott made with Scholastic, but it's likely he isn't involved with each individual story. That goes especially true for the graphic novels. Graphic novelists in general are criminally underpaid, often times getting less than $100 per page. It would definitely be scholastic working with the artists, and not Scott. Even in cases where there is an author and an illustrator, it's pretty rare for the author to work directly with the artist (though not impossible). I would guess that the fazbear frights gn's were work for hire, meaning the artists got a flat rate and no royalties. This is pretty common when working on IP's from what I know. So, I would bet money that those artists were paid a pretty low amount and had a reeeally tight turn around time. It's possible they're less established artists who need the money and are willing to take those kinds of jobs. For reference, graphic novels usually take 1 to 3 years to produce, often times more. Considering that the first Frights prose book came out in 2019, and the GN collection started in 2022, I'm not sure when the book got announced, but that doesn't leave much time for a gn to be made. So yeah, it's a shame that they couldn't have made better comics, especially since Scholastic could definitely afford it. Most likely, Scott sold the graphic novel rights when ever he made his deal with Scholastic, and he likely has very little if any control over the graphic novels. It's possible that like with the silver eyes trilogy, after they see that the fanbase is there to buy them, the budget will go up. Also, all that being said, I am SO CURIOUS how the ghost writing for these books works. Considering how integral the books have become to the lore, did Scott plan it all out for them? Is there a lore bible on a Scholastic server some where, with a mountain of NDA's to protect it? Or did it start out vague and the poor ghost writers were let loose, unconscious of the fact that they are toying with the sanity of a huge fanbase? DID Scott have a hand in springtrap mpreg?? I'd give anything to find out.

[@garlicgoat259]

As a avid reader, this amount of books from a rather interesting franchise sounds like a fun week of reading to me.

One issue you didn't mention was the Twisted Animatronics not looking like the way the book describes them. Myself and Nick-0f-Time are doing our best to make their non-illusion and illusion form look accurate, and its sad that the artist had to use the art the official artist drew. Also upon further digging, the artist mentioned that when she had to draw the Twisted characters, she got the bare minimum of a description, so can't really fault the og, but I'd expect better for the graphic novel. Edit: Just to give an understanding, the non-illusion forms have a gelatinous-looking casing around the endoskeleton that forms the animatronic's look, once the illusion discs turn on, it's a fuzzy mess, it's described as fur but not quite in some instances, like TV static.

The comic adaptations of the novels in general suffer from glaring inaccuracies. These can lead to issues such as panels taking place at the wrong time of day or someone wearing the wrong clothing, or more egregious examples such as incorrect character portrayals (Henry's seppuku machine being depicted as Endo-02 with an oversized kitchen knife is a hilarious example of this) or just straight making stuff up that wasn't there. All in all, the way these graphic novels were handled was rather poor. Not only was the resulting quality very bad and rushed (took until the third one for the linework/coloring to become passable and the issue of same face to be somewhat resolved), but the first come serve choice of (an inexperienced in this case) artist did not help either. Someone like Churilla would have been much better suited to making an actual horror comic than Pinky. Even the presence of lighting would have made a substantial difference as seen in the tryouts versus what was published. All in all, the comics are not the optimal way to exprience the story. Audio narration and letting your own imagination run wild will always be better and more immersive than anything someone can impose on your mind. Especially since it might as well overwrite your original memory of how you imagined everything once you actually look at it.

I love how everytime you make a reference to murder here, someone explodes, especially when there's a momentary pause before the boom.

Love her!

[@Amethyst786]

@thatonepokemonwhateveritwa8371 That's nice, outta curiosity. How do you love her, like do you love her channel, or do you have a parasocial relationship with her. Because if it's the parasocial relationship, then that's bad, but if it isn't, then that's fine, so which is it then? I'm just curious cause your message is a little vague and doesn't tell me to what extent or how you love her. Like for me, I like her channel, and if I ever meet her irl (which I have not, but if I did), I'd think she'd be a pretty nice person, and fun to hang out with, so long as you don't dig too deep into her past. And yeah, but I don't know how it is for you, it might be that, but I'm not sure, but anyways that's all I have to say and I hope you and I have great days! 😊💙💜❤️😁

[@Jojo-he8qi]

The fact that you managed to explain the story of the fourth closet and therefore the original thrilogy, in an understandable way is baffling to me. Good job man👍

[@Cy_an1d3]

Watching this in an near future where we know the FNAF movie release date is absolutely delightful.
