memory loss
1st page w/o text under da cut cuz the text is lowkey ugly
Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
Our Journey So Far When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Thanks to your incredible kindness, we’ve reached 19,800 out of 30,000. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now: 🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us. 😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment. 💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 might not seem like much, but it could mean a meal, clean water, or a tiny bit of hope for my family.

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude, Mosab and Family ❤️
I used to believe that home was a place. Now, I know that home is the people who love you.
But what happens when war takes those people away?
My name is Naser, and I am writing this because I have no other choice. I lost my mother and sister in an attack. Our family home was destroyed. My brothers and I were forced to flee, leaving behind everything we had ever known.
For the second time, we have been displaced, wandering from place to place, hoping to find safety. But safety feels impossible when you have nothing left.
💡 Yet, I still believe in kindness. I still believe that there are people in this world who care.
I still believe that my brothers and I can build a future—but we need your help.
🌍 What We Need We need a place to live. We need education. We need hope.
Your donation can help us rebuild our lives. It can help me pursue my education, help my brothers achieve their dreams, and help us heal from this unimaginable loss.
❤️ If you believe in kindness, please consider donating. And if you can’t, please share this post. Someone out there might be able to help.

"So everything was just sitting here?"
"Oh yeah, the place was real dirty when we came in. We just threw a new coat of paint on things and ran with it."
"And what happened to all the stuff from Gen 2?" "We were able to retrofit some of the assets… The animatronics at this location are actually retrofitted from old models- and all the excess stuff, either got sold or is in storage, we got a warehouse in town."
Happy birthday, Freddy! 🎂
design explanations under the cut vvv
The main four nightmares take inspiration from the book versions of the wild things, mostly in terms of proportions and poses. They're meant to evoke the kind of puppets William used to make for children's TV before Freddy's, with those glowing eyes from the movie. His Freddles are three little mechanized bears with drums, which they make a real racket with. Mike has nicknamed them Alvin, Simon, and Theodore because he doesn't like them.
Nightmare Balloon boy is a puppet of Mike himself when he was younger, accompanied by a little plush rabbit that was probably a prototype for Spring Bonnie before he was scaled up to be a suit, I don't know yet. Nightmare Mangle is based on those piles of clothes that look like figures at night, also a bit of inspiration from Rosco (Hello Puppets). Her many limbs are surplus puppet parts.
Nightmarrione is the only one who doesn't fit the theme, and that's because William didn't make this guy! It made itself. :)

ISLANDERS : THE SEVEN RULING VILLAGER CLANS
—————————————
CLAN #01 : PLAINS
The common folk of the Grassland Plains Biome. They're a simple people, probably the most common and well-known villagers you'll encounter while exploring Caeloria. They have harvest festivals, public gatherings in central markets, and tell stories around the campfire. Their economy is made up of skilled farmers, traders, and builders. They produce and export grains, livestock, and crafted goods which vary on the profession. They rely on Iron Titans and rudimentary fortifications but distrust weapons (although some villagers like blacksmiths do create weapons for trading with people more open to violence.) Their villages are made up of homes with the timber-framed architecture style, wooden roofs, and are usually surrounded by small farms.
CLAN #02 : DESERT
The inhabitants of the Desert Biomes. They are not as simple as the Plainsmen, and their culture is more focused on keeping a holy life, alongside securing a safe trip into the Afterlife. They do daily prayers to honor the sun, moon, and the passage of time itself, alongside intricate funeral ceremonies and rituals to ensure safe passage into the Afterlife. Their economy is famous for their trade caravans, glasswork, pottery, and exotic spices. While they also have Iron Titans, they use dynamite traps to protect their sacred temples and religious sanctuaries. The villages are made up of Sandstone, with domed roofs to regulate temperature, often built around oases and river beds.
CLAN #03 : JUNGLE
The hunters that reside within jungle biomes. Unlike most villager clans, they're a militaristic civilization, focused mainly on hunting. They have daily ritual dances at sunrise and sunset, large hunting trips usually consisting of "packs", and a variety of face paint representing their roles in society, or, for a hunter; their achievements and rank in hunting. They're a people skilled in herbal medicine, dye-making, and the creation of weapons. Instead of living on the ground like most villagers, these hunters live in wooden treehouses interconnected by bridges to maintain high ground advantage during hunting. They use the vines of the trees to climb up and down. While they have their own variant of the Iron Titans, they also rely on boobie traps and ambushes from multiple packs as defense mechanisms.
CLAN #04 : SAVANNA
Savanna Villagers are the second most welcoming villagers of Caeloria, and similar to the Plains Villagers, they rely on community, tradition, and peace. The main thing that separates them from the Plainsmen is their belief in astrology. They believe that the stars guide their fate, and a lot of their traditions revolve around astrology. Stargazing ceremonies, seasonal festivals aligned with celestial events (basically just.. holidays) and storytelling under the stars. Their economy is constructed of skilled weavers and artisans, known for intricate carving, cloth-dyeing, and crafting of jewelry, usually having a celestial theme. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture that as much as I could with the designs, as the concept came after they were already done. They're also expert animal handlers, known for domesticating and breeding fast horses for both companionship and a good defense mechanism, aside from the Iron Titans, ofcourse. Their villages are usually made up of terracotta or mud blocks, shaped in the style of mud-and-tatch huts. I also like to think that in-game there would be a massive baobab tree in the center of the village, which would lead in an Iron Titan attack if it were destroyed by a player.
CLAN #05 : SWAMP
These guys are the black sheep of Villager society, even if per say the Jungle Clan's hunting traditions are questioned by the rest of village society, at least they keep their hunting trips tame! These guys are a full-on cult, the most controversial of the clans. Their traditions are rather questionable; they make blood sacrifices to some kind of "Spirit of The Swamp" some mystical natural energy they seem to try and appease. New members of the cult must craft their own ceremonial mask from the remains of a hunted beast, believed to bind them spiritually to the creature and grant them its strength. This is basically my in-universe reason for why certain things like skeleton heads, creeper heads, dragon heads, etc. can be collected. Maybe if this were a mod of some sorts you'd need some kind of mob skull to not get attacked while exploring the swamp? Idk. Every twenty years or so, a great hunt is held for a "cursed beast," often the last of a dying species, as they believe such creatures hold the most potent spiritual energy. We know the Sniffers are nearly extinct, maybe these villagers are related to that in some way. Hell, when we play the game, the Sniffer could be the beast they are out to hunt. Their economy is built on potion-making, fungus cultivation, and fishing. They lack Iron Titans for defense, instead relying on hunting and camouflage techniques, their houses themselves are designed to camouflage with the bog's trees. They're also oomfies with the Witches. With all this world-building done you'd be surprised to find out that these are actually my least favorite of the seven villager variants in-game.
CLAN #06 : TAIGA
Considering the last two yap-fests, I have a lot less to say about the Taiga Villagers. They're a people who value trust, loyalty, strategy, and honor. They live in communal spruce wood long houses, typically working inside. They tend to train inside, meditating and having communal prayers inside of huts, circling around the campfire. Some also go out and meditate in the cold to test their endurance during full moons, which doubles as an opportunity to hunt for resources. Their economy is built on their massive supply of wood, meat, natural herbal remedies, and leather skins. They have Iron Titans that protect them from wild animals and Pillagers. They're strong allies with the Plainsmen, alongside the Desert and Savanna Tribes. Their strongest ally, however...
CLAN #07 : TUNDRA
A group of small tribes that are master survivalists. They believe in community, honor, and strategy. They're the strongest ally to the Taiga Clan, and vice versa. They also don't mind trading with the Desert Clan. These cold and reserved people live within reinforced wooden cabins, often remaining inside at all times unless it is necessary to go out hunting. They trade seafood, wool, and rarer gems such as emeralds, gold, and even diamonds. They also trade large supplies of wood. That's all I really have to say about them!
And that's all seven Villager clans redesigned and expanded upon!! I hope they came out looking decent lmfao
Rainbow friends redesign!!
