I've been getting kinda down recently about the FNAF fandom honestly. As much as I love it dearly, a lot of people have been abandoning it. I can totally understand though, but it makes me wonder how long this will last.
The FNAF fandom exploded overnight and came outta nowhere, and it's been massive ever since. It has put a lot of pressure the fandom leaders, including Rebornica, who has renounced the fandom entirely. And other people have just gotten tired of certain areas of the fandom, and then decide to leave it altogether. And this is right on the forefront of FNAF3 being released, which I am hugely excited for!
But can such a fandom last forever? What will be come of it.... what will become of us... what will become of me? What happens if it dies? Sure, there are other fandoms, but FNAF has brought me close to so many people, and I've made so many friends, and it has turned my life 100% for the better.
Your kind words, love and encouragement to me and each other have really helped restore my faith in humanity. I'm not as cynical and pessimistic as much anymore in all aspects of my daily life. I have more patience for people and circumstances. I can only hope that I have managed to touch your lives in some way as well... all because of Five Nights at Freddy's.
But the more people who turn away from FNAF, and more time that goes on, how will we survive? What will become of our friendships?
I guess that I've been kinda scared about my incredibly fast rise to "fame" on DeviantArt. Even today, I now have over 750 watchers, and it is still increasing 25 people per day. All of whom I am eternally grateful and appreciative.
But I still can't figure out why. Is it just because of FNAF? And when will it end? The more people who watch me, the more I'm afraid that I'm going to lose the people closest to me. Of course, some of my great friends on here are brand new watchers... that's not what I mean. I guess I'm having trouble really understanding what is going on and what I'm feeling today.. this is all happening so fast.
But one day... it's going to happen. People have to stop watching me eventually. And I'm honestly scared for that day. I know that I will never be alone because of all you wonderful people... but still, I am having trouble simply trying to wrap my head around this number of watchers. It's just a number. But I can't stop thinking about it. I don't care about pageviews or anything else... just watchers. Because each and every one of those numbers is a person, just like me. So I can't stop thinking about it.
I have never been popular or well liked before in my 28 years, especially going through grade school. So why all of a sudden now? I never really wanted to be popular, as I am shy and introverted.
And all these watchers...... I mean, all of these people see me as someone they look up to in some way or another, right? So, that makes me a leader??? But I don't know how to be a leader!!! I just wanted to be a nice guy who spread cheer and encouragement around, and to make a couple of good friends. As I watch the other leaders of the FNAF fandom fall one by one.... I'm afraid to suffer a similar fate.
I see people on here saying that they've had enough of FNAF, and since it's pretty much all I have time for anymore, I'm afraid to smother my friends with it (if not now, inevitably in the future). I have so many more ideas for SFM renders, since I'm just getting started, and I have many ideas for animations and GIFs of my very own. And of course, there's no end to chat icons to create... but honestly, I feel like enough is going to be enough one day. I guess I just don't know, I'll have to figure it out.
But I don't want to lose you, any of you..........
I guess I just want you all to know that people do care about you. Sure, out of the thousands of people here on DA, and the hundreds of friends watching me... what is just one person? Surely, I'd never notice just one less watcher, one less friend. But you would be wrong. What I'm going through now, me.... a cynical, emotionless Spock, who has learned to not feel pain or sadness from 28 years of life....... this is what happens when you commit DA suicide. Heck, suicide of any kind. People care about and love you, and it just destroys your friends when you call it quits.
But I understand that things can be hard, but I just wish that I could have been there to prevent this. My goal here, again, is to be a good friend... to be all you need. And I have failed. And I feel terrible about it.

At last... I suddenly had my motivation back. I knew what I had to do. Hence, this picture was created. It has many different meanings, the empty chair... the rose.... the Chica plush...
But what is going to happen if stuff like this keeps continuing?? The fandom is going to destroy itself, and I'm going to lose my friends, one by one. Until I'm back to being just as alone as ever.
I URGE you guys.... please, take care of each other, don't let bullies win. Do whatever you can for your friends when they are hurting or being attacked. I get SO many journals across my notifications about people hurting, people who need friends. There's only so much I can do, I need help. I need you guys to be leaders and don't sit idly by. And certainly.... if any of you reading this has been one of the bullies, haters, or just plain downers, hear my words.
The Five Nights at Freddy's fandom is MORE than large enough for us all, big enough for us to explore and develop our own niche. If you don't like or agree with what someone else is doing, writing, drawing... well leave them alone. Do your own thing, and let them be. Otherwise, you will destroy everything we love about FNAF, DA, and life.
