Introducing a new Smiling Critters AU: The Rebirth AU!

Hello, everyone! This is an AU that has been swimming around in my head for the past month or so, and I'm pleased to reveal it all to you now!

The premise of this AU is that the world of Smiling Critters (which I've dubbed "Critter Valley") is an afterlife, of sorts.

You see, once in a blue moon, a child or teenager will tragically die. But instead of being gone for good, something special about these individuals allow them to be reincarnated in Critter Valley as an anthropomorphic animal. This is where the Smiling/Nightmare Critters come from.

And you can tell they're different because no other Critter in Critter Valley wears a pendant.

However, it's the deaths themselves, the circumstances surrounding them, and even the human's personalities, that have a hand in shaping not only what animal they become, but also their abilities! (Yes, the gas is almost exclusively a CatNap thing. Everyone else gains a completely unique ability that relates to them)

*[Allister is the demonstration because he's my favorite :)]*

Let me know if you want to see more of this AU, because I have plenty more to reveal later down the line!

The idea of animatronic dinosaurs in the FNAF Universe was something I've thought up of since 2022, and it's only now that I remembered them. So I figured, "Why the hell not? Polish them up and finally reveal them for the community to see!"

If you're wondering why they look less like animatronics and more like actual animals, it's because I ultimately decided to go with the more felt, rubbery suits, like the suits in MCM, rather than the foam or plastic seen in the other animatronics.

We have:

Tex the T-Rex

Tracy the Triceratops

Sturm the Spinosaurus

Foxtrot the Dromaeosaurus (NOT a Velociraptor)

Blight the Dilophosaurus

Shield the Stegosaurus

Tulip the Parasaurolophus

Ivory the Allosaurus

Apollo the Apatosaurus

Gigas the Giganotosaurus (I REALLY like the Jurassic World Dominion design for the Giga lol)

Thorn the Therizinosaurus

Crash the Pachycephalosaurus

Apex the Dimetrodon

Jet the Pteranodon

Cactus the Ceratosaurus (In case you couldn't tell, he has a snaggletooth)

And Blade the Carnotaurus

\*(I should mention: Tracy, Tulip, Ivory, and Thorn are female. The rest are all male. Also, them having the same eye color is just an indicator that they're possessed.)\*

In addition, rather than inhabiting an enclosed restaurant/Pizzaplex-esque complex, these guys' establishment is an open theme park, filled with a bunch of attractions (most of which are themed around the mascots), gift shops, food and drink areas, a stage for the mascots' live shows, etc. The rival company who made them clearly went all-out.

As one last point, after the recent rise of the trend that is "Draw This in Your Style", I'm putting these fellas up for that challenge. If you want to draw these bad boys/girls and their ghosts in your style, you're more than welcome to! The rules are pretty simple: The color of the kids' clothes match the color of the mascot they're supposed to be. You don't have to draw ALL of them if you don't want to, either. And it would be great if you could add the u/ in my username so that I can see what you've done.

Other than that, do whatever you want! If you want to pose them, go right ahead! (God knows I can't do that nearly as well as some of you can) If you want to make them proper FNAF-style animatronics, be my guest!

I really hope you like these guys! I know my younger self sure has.

Yes, this was drawn by Solar0819 himself, via commission, who I want to give a MASSIVE thank you for making this. Seriously, this looks SICK!
