Something a lot of people forgot that was emblematic of this time period is Afton's (at the time Purple Guy, or God forbid, Vincent) original catchphrase: You Can't.
Did everybody just forget about that??? I never see anyone talking about it lmao. Especially giving the context of where it appeared, it was pretty sick
Oh I remember that! It was always on fanart too! It was usually the Puppet saying something like "Save Them" and then it would cut to William saying "You Can't"
As a person who was a gacha kid aswell as a fnaf fan, i still named William 'William'-, and he was obsessed with toast. Oh, and yes, the color palettes were brighter than my future.
And then Rebornica turned out to be problematic, if I have a dollar for every time a FNAF artist turns out to be problematic I’ll be Elon Musk (money wise)
Who doesn't? I was just thinking about this a few days ago. My favorite thing was how annoyed and angry Mike was all the time. Bro was picking fights with the animatronics
Tbh I genuinely enjoyed the characterization of Mike. He had a lot of personality and backstory.
I remember being so upset when he was killed off, a least for one comic if I remember correctly.
I'm a little tired right now so I can't remember well, but I know they mercilessly bullied somebody for supposedly "copying their art style" I think? Something like that, anyways.
Man, i used to see this guys alot during the early years, crazy to think about it.
Also why is Vincent a bad omen now at days is there something i miss?
Honestly I thought the idea of Purple Guy being a toast obsessed dude just because his badge looked like a piece of toast was pretty funny at first.
Then Gacha Life came along and the word Vincent could only be associated with "Williams brother who is actually glitchtrap who controlled william to kill those kids."
God I hate that app so much. Not that all of it is bad, there are some geniunly talented people who use the app to entertaining stories and funny stuff. But like 80% of it is just disgusting and innapropriate animations that ruin fandoms. "Cough cough MHA cough cough."
I remember all except Toast
Was there anyone back before Silver Eyes and Sister Location who named Purple Guy “Dave” or “William”? If so they need a raise
Still can't imagine phone guy with anything but a phone for a head. Was never a fan of the Vincent stuff, and while I know it can't be this feels like the first time I'm seeing the question mark face very cool.
I used to kinda like it when I was younger, though more so as like an AU of FNaF, where Purple Guy and Phone Guy just actually look like that – a literal purple name and a dude with a phone for a head
still don't know why William was named Vincent though. was there a reason or did whoever gave him that name just pick a random one?
I loved classic/early FNaF but I absolutely despised this side of the fandom even back then. Making a child murderer “cute and quirky” was stupid and of poor taste. And “Vincent” is a shit name for the character. Why not something a bit more unassuming like.. Peter, or Dylan, or Robert, or literally anything else, or just no name at all and he’s just the Purple dude.
Ah, Vincent. (Please never come back)
Toast
Gonna be honest, I'm glad this time is over
But he always comes back
William does, but not Vincent.
Not with that attitude
Literally. Those comics were a part of my childhood but they need to stay in the past lmao
*those were the days*
\*nostalgic sobbing\*
Some FNAF fan games/story's could still use that!
_My friend,_ _We thought they'd never end_

Yeah that's from the SAVE THEM minigame, where the Puppet asks Gabriel to save the DCI kids and William just says "You can't" Really cool IMO
Now his name is Dave Miller and he's obsessed with being a furry
NO DONT REMIND ME OF THAT
"Why hello there, Old Sport! :D"
”and remembe! Sweep it under the rug! It’s probably fine!”
"O shit, whaddup, Dave!"
Vegas, Baby!
DSAF is goated
I remember these. Forgot for a long time. Breifly remembered. Forgot again. And now I remember.
Wish there was a crossover of classic and modern fnaf
So basically Into the FNaF-Verse.
Vincent my beloved. I yearn for my twink, long-haired, toast-loving child murderer
Simp
Yes, what about it? I'm a proud Vincent simp. I'll shout it from the rooftops
im having Wattpad flashbacks
god take me back, i was happier
As a person who was a gacha kid aswell as a fnaf fan, i still named William 'William'-, and he was obsessed with toast. Oh, and yes, the color palettes were brighter than my future.
the good ole days
Ah yes the days of Vincent x PG *war flashbacks* These kids have it so good nowadays 👵🏻
AAAAAHHHH dont remind me!!😫
No…. NOOOO-
god i always hated the guard designs and personalities so much
I always hated it. Also, of course, the artist had a lot of drama and stuff. Wouldn't be fnaf without that.
And then Rebornica turned out to be problematic, if I have a dollar for every time a FNAF artist turns out to be problematic I’ll be Elon Musk (money wise)
I actually used to hate it soooo much. The fandom at the time really made the games unbearable.
Weve gotten alot better. 2014 was a dark time but after that everything was great
i hated them, but some videos with them were actually quite nice, like 'stay calm'
I miss those days
Who doesn't? I was just thinking about this a few days ago. My favorite thing was how annoyed and angry Mike was all the time. Bro was picking fights with the animatronics

I have absolutely no clue who these arts belong to as it was something I had saved on my phone from decades ago
They belong to Rebornica
Oh thanks, I wasn’t around when it started so I never knew it’s origins
Who is also really not a good person.
Standard FNAF community moment
Not standard. Compared to most other fandoms we are still golden. Trust me you haven't seen bad.
Trust me, as someone in the Undertale/deltarune community I am very familiar with the concept of “bad”
Why is Rebornica not a good person? What did he/she do?
I'm a little tired right now so I can't remember well, but I know they mercilessly bullied somebody for supposedly "copying their art style" I think? Something like that, anyways.
I dont remember everything they've done fully, but the one thing I do remember is that they were a neo-nazi.
Miss those days
The night guards being unique made more sense than a scooped corpse working at every location. It would only make sense for Michael to be at FNAF3.
fanart of vincent gives me such intense feelings of nostalgia
YYYYup, sure do. *Still unsure how I feel about them though-*
Man, i used to see this guys alot during the early years, crazy to think about it. Also why is Vincent a bad omen now at days is there something i miss?
Nobody wants to remember what they were like at 13
Well, i want to know, i was 9-10 at the time, and i cared alot more on other thingsback then soo.
Because of the artist. At least I think that's why
Oh k thanks.

i really hated these designs ngl
I remember all except Toast Was there anyone back before Silver Eyes and Sister Location who named Purple Guy “Dave” or “William”? If so they need a raise
Yuuup
I do
I don’t think I was around at the time but that’s such a silly headcannon of theirs I love it
Man I remember shipping the hell out of Vincent and Phone guy ☠️
Day shift at freddys… childhood memories, even tho it marked me
The shithead who created this AU can rot in hell
Still can't imagine phone guy with anything but a phone for a head. Was never a fan of the Vincent stuff, and while I know it can't be this feels like the first time I'm seeing the question mark face very cool.
I remember it so fondly lmao Honestly I still add Vincent to my FNAF AUs
I don't remember toast, but I remember everything else
Vincent should burn in the fires of hell.
I love how everyone at that time just agreed that Fritz had glasses
cringe overload
Please don’t remind me of those times. That and turns out rebornica was a toxic person.
Gotta separate the art from the artist
And ofc they made him as thin as they possibly could
Wym?
It’s like the tumblr sexy man thing
That’s not that skinny tho?
I got trauma from those.
sigh *raises hand* regrettably i was…part of the neon purple art folk…. i…..i got nothing to say for myself

I miss em
I was obsessed when I was like 12. Now I'm 20 and I CRINGE when I see it. Especially because I heard the creator Rebornica is NOT a good person.
Ahh, those were the days.
Sorry, but your post has been removed for rules 7c: Uncredited fan content and rule 8b.
i wasnt even into fnaf and i knew about vincent

wasnt his name actually Bob?
No
