here's a fun shizzlepost- crudpost?- for y'all pressspaceforasurprise Allow me to tell you all a tragic tale from my past. I was but a wee little child when, at my poorly-funded smelly elementary school, word began to spread of an obscure indie game known as..."Five Nights at Freddy's." I, being the inquisitive little idiot that I was, asked my older sibling if they had heard anything about it. They confirmed that they had played it, and started telling me all about the game. About the animatronics, the backstory, the atmosphere.... I was H O R R I F I E D . Like seriously, my sibling actually thinks that the reason I hate horror now is because I may have trauma from my childhood revolving around FNaF Anyway, for an ENTIRE YEAR after that, I was so ####### terrified of this #### game that I would literally refuse to go to bed after midnight or wake up before 6:00 AM because I was THAT scared of the animatronics. I seriously thought I was going to wake up in the middle of the night, look out my window, and see Freddy Fazbear at my door. Things got even worse when one day in school, somebody left a PNG of said Freddy Fazbear on the desktop of a computer. I happened to use that computer, and the image upset me so much that I asked my teacher how I could delete it from the computer. When they asked why, I got so freaked out that they literally sent me TO THE PRINCIPAL to explain why I wanted to delete the image. And do you know what the principal did? HE CALLED MY FREAKING MOTHER, AT WORK, AND TOLD HER TO COME TO THE SCHOOL. My mom thought I fainted or something but nope I just started crying at an image of a poorly rendered CGI animatronic bear on my computer screen :/ So anyway needless to say I absolutely DESPISED FNaF for YEARS afterward, and I would go out of my way to avoid anything to do with it When I would search up games on Roblox, I covered my eyes so I didn't see anything about FNAF One of my friends really liked drawing the characters in it, and I actually asked them if they could not do that when I was around (yeah i kinda sucked but this was like 7 or 8 years ago so cut me some slack) Only in the past few years did I finally stop hating the game and trying to avoid it. And then. Just yesterday. I did what I had long thought to be impossible. I WATCHED MARKIPLIER PLAY THE ENTIRE SERIES. YES I DID IT ARE YOU PROUD OF ME Honestly nobody cares except me but it makes for a funny story so None of the music in the project belongs to me
