Each person in the room being a different part of the fandom was nice. I could tell Artists, Cosplayers, Theorists, let's players, and musicians. This just feels like a love letter to the fandom and I love it so much.
If anyone's curious which is which: 1:41 Musician (DamWantsToJam) 1:43 Theorist (TheodoreLawrence13) 1:46 Cosplayer (Alex) 1:50 Let's Player (ChEaTcOdEY) 1:52 Artist (JULIA_CAT08)
Its funny how this song, is not only about FNAF but about what all the kids around 2014 were watching and what they are doing now, and IRONICALLY the MV is done in a 80s Style.
this song feels like a love letter to fandoms in general, games and shows that helped us grow when we were kids, we now repay with costumes, lore dives, fan songs and fanart, and general publicity, keeping those series alive.
I love the characters are all named and even have their own specialty in fandom. Julia - Artist Dam (Damien?) - Musician Codey (Codie?) - Gamer/ Modder Theodore - Storyteller/ Theorist Alex - Cosplayer A great cast of characters. Hope they become regular characters.
its also funny how they each defeated the animatronic Julia showing freddy a saucy art theodore using chicas canonical fear of wet signs Dam fnf blasting bonnie away alex scaring foxy of with a nightmare foxy cosplay and then there was chalk using the old retro atari aesthetic of the 6 og games to control the animatronics
What is better about theodore being the theorist is the fact that he is the son of the news reporter from a songus amongus. I guess the lore hunting is a family heritage
I LOVE this one!! So much story packed into one video! Also, the beat and the lyrics are top notch! Once again, honored to be a part of what is rapidly becoming a legendary TH-cam channel! “They had care Bears, we had bear scares.” 😂🖤🐻
I know that most likely no one is going to see this, but I really like how the students make sure to include the professor and help him with the game, and celebrating with him when he helps them beat the game (and also giving him suggestions for games to look into). It can get missed with the music, but I think that part of the music video (their welcoming him into their community) is my favorite. I hope one day I can feel comfortable putting myself out there and finding a community for my favorite games and media like that.
Its sometimes hard and other times easier but trust me when i say that you will find those who enjoy the games you like as much as you do even if they might not admit it 😊
I like that part too, i just started getting into fnaf, and i know i'm hella late, but it helps when people are welcoming, and help you figure it out, and don't laugh at you for being late to the fandom, or at your struggles.
List of indies at 3:31: -Hollow Knight -Cuphead -Celeste -Undertale/Deltarune -Night in the Woods -Friday Night Funkin’ -OneShot -Little Nightmares -Doki Doki Literature Club -Inscryption -Disco Elysium -Iron Lung -Bendy and the Ink Machine -Slay the Princess -Hades -Five Nights at Freddy’s
@@SugarPunk420 Not just childhood, most of these released during my 20s and I still recognized all but OneShot, Iron Lung and Bendy and have played most of the others.
This song is first one that feels like a story that just so happens to be a song, which I love because the story telling is out of the park for once instead of just being another funny parody song which is refreshing.
@@HotdoggerYT pretty sure all the kids are Chalkeaters Originals BUT.... I'm pretty sure that: Alex (cosplay kid), Julia (artist kid) and Damian (musician) all originate specifically from this song. Theo (the theorist) first cameo'd in "Roll out the Fallout" (and I,m fairly sure he was as I thought the actual FNAF Kids tease of that song) and Codey (gamer kid) first appeared as the star of "Lock me up". Of note is the fact that this might be the actual first time we actually get his name since the Chalkeaters AU wasn't born yet. Also.... in Julia and Codey's cases, names aren't actually confirmed but extrapolated from the Video call screen names.
That’s a really sweet and catchy song. I like how it shows the charm of the fandoms and how it’s important to share your love to something with others instead of keeping it to yourself like Professor Chalk, who in the end stepped out of his fear and pride to realize how much good stuff he can enjoy and make bonds with people while doing it.
@SuperOctolingInklingSplatoon yeah back in the day gamers were bullied if anyone outside of their own fandoms found out they played games so the older generation had this real fear of being ostracized that they hesitate to share their involvement in fandoms
@@paracame8162it's funny how now I enjoy going out with some gamer-themed shirts with controller on chest so everyone know I'm a gamer and won't be surprised about my messed hair lol (tho I remain well-mannered so cashiers and others seems friendly enough)
Doubly so; it also showed how the crew came to value Chalk's contributions too, the rest of them were ignoring the exhibits or being bored, outside of Damien, who seemed to be actually paying attention. And in the end, it's Professor Chalk's realization of "oh, hey, an Atari 2600." that EASILY turned them fighting the animatronics on their head as Chalk effortlessly about-faces the animatronics using the very thing that codes all of the secrets in the franchise; 2600/ZX Spectrum era arcadey games. A beautiful imagery of "You'ld be surprised what you'll learn when you look over your garden wall"
I like how this song has good animation and lore too! I think that when Chalk was little, he was lonely and played old games by himself (which explains how he is kind of scared of newer Game Trends). But his students decided to help him overcome the fear by showing him FNAF. He was scared to play it at first but his students encouraged him to play it so he did. He ended up liking it and wanted to play more games, so his students game him the list at the end. The students basically showed Chalk it’s ok to be afraid but if you try something you might like it. Cant wait for the next song! 😁
@@djamtz Mood, I was terrified of 1, little scared at 2… It took until World dropped for me to actually try out the series, and now I’ve taken a shining to it!
Fun Fact: the dates that are on the calendar at 1:40 are the release dates for this video, the FNAF movie, Help Wanted, FNAF WORLD, and of course, FNAF 1.
I love the underlying message of this song. How for a lot of older internet users the FNAF craze seems strange, but once you look deeper you realize that its for younger kids what the likes of MLP, Minecraft and such were for us. These things can be enjoyed on their own, yes, but they're often much better enjoyed with the community.
@@redpanda6497 You do know Gabriel Brown's history, right? That line in the song was an obvious nod to how he really got started in the greater internet sphere. Same with Living Tombstone.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding a bit or maybe I’m just crazy. The first season of mlp came out in 2010, the full release of Minecraft came out in 2011, and of course the OG FNAF just turned 10, so I feel like these things came out close enough to capture the hearts and minds of the same group of kids (myself included, especially since I was a little late to the party on the first two). The overall message that things are better enjoyed together resonates deeply tho :)
This made me cry a bit. Just the idea that a fandom is a place for all kinds of creative people to collaborate and express themselves in a safe environment is beautiful and something not many people outside of those fandoms acknowledge. Of course there is no perfect fandom but most of its not cringe, its just sincere
I was definitely a FNAF kid when I was younger, but i've kinda grown out of it. And honestly, that's okay. Interests change and evolve over time. One of the most important things i've learned is that fandoms (for the most part) are created because the product itself is good. Fandoms can create a lot of noise that distorts the original product, so it's important to cut past that noise and see it for yourself.
here's a list of all of the codes i've found so far! let me know if i missed any! 0:15 +RS/+ on the arcade cabinet 0:30 +CHALK+ on the top left when it flashes white 0:33 +WHE+ on the TV on the floor 0:58 +701I+ on the base of the fan 1:09 +R3F+ on the camera display 1:18 +THE+ on a box in the background 1:24 +ASY&+ on the phone 1:41 +EATE+ on a poster above the computer 1:48 +ANT+ on the sewing machine 1:50 +FUNC+ on the laptop 2:03 +0ME+ on the chair 3:14 +FE+ on the computer in the mini game
No wonder he was so confident with Fallout, the first Fallout game released in 1997 and the first Legend of Zelda game (figure shown at 2:14) was released in 1986, giving an 11 year gap from the look of him as a child he is about 6-7 meaning he'd be 17-18 by the time Fallout came out meaning he would also be in the age target for the game and would thus be caught up in it, unlike FNAF which released in 2014 or Among Us in 2020.
The snes could still play the nes games. So 90s kids grew up with 80s games. Hell, my brother and I had my dad’s Atari and played asteroids when we were very, very little.
@@zerotodona1495 No it can’t. I remember hearing that people thought the SNES was a scam because it couldn’t play their NES games and needed to buy more games.
5 AM at Freddy's has the crowbar to the knees, while DSaF and AUCFNaFT both have jokes about attacking the animatronics' shins. That whole area is really the weak point of their design IG.
It genuinely means so much to me to see something like this… people HATE the FNaF fandom, and Bronies, and Furries, and Minecraft TH-camrs, even the Undertale fandom… And of COURSE there are bad parts! Every fandom has their extremists and their illegal Rule34, hell, so do golf clubs and religion and EVERYTHING in life. it’s bad stuff out there, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. These fandoms and embracing the cringe of it when I was 10-13 made a part of me I’ll never let go of. Fanfiction is what started me writing, fanart was what started me drawing. Doing things out of passion helps you be sure it’s what you really wanna do for your life- maybe off and on or in the background while I focus on a proper full time job, but I will NEVER stop creating! And it’s because of these fandoms.
@@djamtz what do you mean “except furries”? Like 95% of furries are just children who draw Disney-inspired OCs. I know because I’ve been in the furry fandom since I was 11 years old and I’m now a grown-ass woman. Sure, there are some who are creeps or criminals, but just like my original comment said: “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water” The Undertale fandom is full of pedophiles. Online multiplayer games are desperately racist. The FNaF fandom is full of beastiality. All organized religion has fearmongering. The furry community is full of neurodivergent and queer people who support each other, who were drawn to this fandom because of shared bigotry and hatred. Like any public group that is founded on vulnerability they have predators in them who want to take advantage of that, but that will ALWAYS happen. Should we just… not ever be genuine? Not ever be vulnerable? Not ever try to connect over shared experiences? It’s called Rule34 because it’s a natural rule of the internet: “if it EXISTS then people have sexualized it” Well… furries exist. People sexualized it. It’s not shocking, and it’s no reason to call them exempt.
The line "We've all been reared on hollow stares, They had carebears we had bear scares" Is so real because in the same way adults are nostalgic for the 80's/90's, WE were literally DEFINED by fnaf, and undertale, and dozens of other games that lit the fire that propelled us down this rabbit hole even all these years later. THATS why this song has such a retro theme. They were the 80's kids, sure, but we were, and ARE, the fnaf kids. More specifically, fnaf's kids. We might've been born too early for floating cars, but I think what we got is arguably just as precious. Thank you, fnaf, and all the games you inspired. Thank you for existing.
@@Silverdenn we have the tech, a car is roughly the same shape and size as a helicopter so i don't see why we can't do it. the only problem is that if you want such a machine to be as common as cars are, you would have to put up with the catastrophic results of a crash.
@@jamjar1726 bro hovertech and using an unstable supersized fan spinning at ridiculous speed is not the same thing, we dont have it cause we're not advanced enough and cause its way too much energy to be practical, even with your helicoptercar idea.
ребят - это легендарно! собрать и включить все моменты фнафа за 10 лет, пригласить ТАКУЮ команду, создать крутую анимацию и добавить в неё всяких мемов -- это просто великолепно! спасибо вам за такую добротную песню и ностальгию по былым временам. (когда досмотрел до конца, пустил слезу🤣)
This actually made me cry. I was 7 when the first game came out and I became a fan when my older sister showed me Markiplier playing the third game one night. It's crazy to think that I've spent more of my life as a FNaF fan that not. It's really such an amazing community - even if we do get a bit quirky at night - and has had an immensely positive impact on my life. Keep up the good work everyone!
@@auroraofclanborealis It breaks my mind what a difference an approximate half decade makes. When I was 7 I was still using windows XP, TH-cam was still a *relatively* new thing (the UI used to suck real bad), Pokémon Platinum and LittleBigPlanet were my games of the year, and Obama just got into office.
@@DannyVass I get what you mean. When I was 7 I hadn't even heard of TH-cam, Pokemon Emerald and Paper Mario TTYD were my GOTYs, and I guess this one little website for Harvard students called "TheFacebook" launched. I'm only 27 but I feel like a grandpa.
This is so true, I've been in the fandom since the fnaf 2 teasers and stuff came out (i think I was like 7 or 8 too) and never left this community, and the line "Yeah just like us when we were twelve" hit me unethically hard.
Just under ten years after The Living Tombstone made FNAF music popular, The Chalkeaters makes a song celebrating the FNAF fandom--It's been a wild decade, but you know--It's also been pretty fun at times!
I listened to this song 20 times before the animation came out, but when the animation came out, I got a double dose of ecstasy. I think this video is really cool because it shows the relationship between Professor Chalk and his students. It's so cute :3
I love the characterisation of all the kids!! For those who wants to know who’s who, Codey, the gamer, wearing green, I think his design is a callback to their quarantine song! Alex, the cosplayer, wearing blue Julia, the artist, wearing red Theo, the theorist, wearing purple Damien, the musician, wearing brown
if I had a nickle everytime MatPat sang "hello,hello?" in a fnaf 10 year anniversary song, I would have two nickles which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice
Welcome to FNAF-land Chalkeaters! While I find it doesn’t have the same gaming prestige of some of the classic franchises, the community is something special! Plus I think this last year between the release of the movie, the celebrating of the 10th anniversary, and the announcement of the collab with Dead by Daylight, their biggest collab yet, I think it’s pretty clear that FNAF’s here to stay. Can’t wait to add this song to my FNAF playlist.
If I had a nickel every time Matpat voiced the Phone guy in an indie FNAF musical production, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's crazy that it happened twice, right? Jokes aside, good stuff right there. Always nice to see a new Chalkeaters production.
I really like how this represents people who became fnaf fans as children and after 10 years they’re all grown up but still enjoy fnaf and have basically become experts, each one of the five children (five children holy shit fnaf reference??) represent a different part of the fandom, artists, musicians, let’s players, cosplayers and theorisers. This is a masterpiece and really out of the box compared to other fnaf fan songs
This is amazing how they are building lore on top of making excellent music and clips! The evolution of Professor Chalk realizing he's doing the same as the people who made him close his passions to the world, it's just so relatable man!
also the fact that the 5 students represent each a side of a fandom (the gamer, the musician, the artist, the cosplayer and the theory guy) makes them work so great as a group!
1:41 the music makers 1:43 the theorists 1:46 the costplayers 1:50 the gamers 1:52 the artists I LOVE SOOOO MUCH HOW THIS SONG SHOWS THE ENTIRE FNAF FANDOM
Really enjoyed the cast being bored of phone guy, and also just downright masters at countering Freddy and Co. just showing how experienced they are with the series
The Guy learning to play piano by FNAF Synthesia songs really brought me back since I did exactly the same when learning to play FNAF songs. The song is catchy and sounds pleasant to the ear. And the way it's filled with typical things that people in fandoms do is just - great.
This song hits deep for me, I’ve always lived under the pressure that playing video games would make me lonely and with no friends, or at least that’s what my parents told me, to a point I ended believing that and kept my hobbie as a secret to anyone, and nowdays I see this communities and famdoms with such passion and beauty. Now I’m 23 and I feel (and I am honestly) too old for those things, it really makes me wonder how would I be today as a person if I had held to my true love for just a little bit longer… Thanks Chalkeaters and everyone involved for this beautiful song!
2:50 An FNF reference was definitely NOT one of the things I expected to see in a Chalkeaters FNAF song, but it's always cool to see someone normally outside the fandom appreciate it! ALSO HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THE BITS OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS HIDDEN THROUGHOUT, WHAT DO THEY MEAN
As someone who never really cared one way or another about FNAF, man. I expected the song to be good, but the narrative angle they went with on this one is just so cool, and perfectly fitting. It's easy to get focused on the bad sides of fandom online, don't get full on celebrations of the good sides like this very often. This song just screams community, in so many little ways, it's great.
This deserves more virality, it's literally a love letter to all the fans of fnaf and other fandoms, those who grew up with this, all those “weird kids” who were around before all this was popular. I really got nostalgic for this, it touched my heart and not to mention the animation which is out of this world. Incredible work!💗💗💗💗
Got to say... Me, being SUCH a FNaF-fanatic to the point, where I was asked to be a LORE CONSULTANT for the whole production, is definitely a highlight of MY LIFE! It was a pleasure working with so many talented people, who were forced to listen to my insane deep-dives about any innocuous topic... I was on a mission to make EVERY FNaF-fan happy, and, I think, I've succeeded... Just so you know, if there is any easter egg, callback or FNaF-reference, that you might think were unintentional... No, they aren't... We've put them there! Deliberately! Just for you! And there could've been more, trust me, I had plans... But you can't keep polishing something forever... This was a year in the making, and looking from inside, I cannot emphasise this enough, how much care, attention and love was put by every member of the team into this... I am sincerely grateful for this wonderful opportunity to show to the whole fandom, how much I love every last piece of it...
Hey! 😅 I Found (possibly) a hidden message or code. Here are the time stamps and the bits i found (I most probably missed some so I would appreciate if somebody comented) 0:14 +.RS/+ the arcade 0:30 +CHALK+ in the flash (not my finding) 0:34 +WHE+ tv screen 0:35 +lowercase+ info pops up (top right corner) 0:59 +7O1I+ under the Fan 1:10 +R3F+ top left camera 1:17 +THE+ the pink box 1:24 +ASY&+ the phone 1:42 +EATE+ Chart at the top 1:47 +ANT+ the sewing machine 1:51 +FUNC+ the laptop 2:03 +0ME+ the chair 3:13 +FE+ the 8-bit monitor the channel commented +lowercase is your friend+ I would also love if we could discuss and try to find out what it means because so far I have no idea. 😜
0:52 I think that's a missed opportunity to say "Three thousand nights were spend like this" Instead of a thoudand. Since Fnaf is 10 years old it would be a nice touch.
Ru Прям песня до слёз, действительно вспоминаешь как сидел смотрел теории, анимации, музыку по фнафу… я действительно рад тому что я тогда на просторах ютуба увидел первую песню The Living Tombstone по фнаф, я помню как смотрел каждый ролик кула и Винди, помню как смотрел Рэгдейз, помню как смотрел моды по фнафу для Гариз мода и Майнкрафта, помню все те прекрасные анимации, как я рисовал этих персонажей, как я постоянно играл в первые 3 части на телефоне, как пытался играть мои любимые песни по фнаф на пианино, как я каждый день проверял сайт Скотта, как выпрашивал у родителей денег на плюшевые игрушки анимотроников, а какие были фан игры!!! Я и вправду пережил во фнафе тысячи ночей. Фнаф изменил мой жизнь, я благодарен Скотту за то что он создал что то такое великое, СПАСИБО СКОТ КОУТОН, Я СЧАСТЛИВ ТОМУ ЧТО Я РЕБЁНОК ФНАФА!!!(и я ни капельки не жалею о том что я после фнафа не мог тогда спать) En The song brings tears to your eyes, you really remember how you sat and watched theories, animations, music on fnaf... I'm really glad that I saw the first song The Living Tombstone on fnaf on TH-cam back then, I remember watching every video of Cool and Windy (Russian fnaf theoris), I remember watching Ragdays (Russian FNAF series with black humor in Garis mod), I remember watching fnaf mods for Garis Mod and Minecraft, I remember all those wonderful animations, how I drew these characters, how I constantly played the first 3 parts on my phone, how I tried to play my favorite fnaf songs on the piano, how I checked Scott's website every day, how I begged my parents for money for plush toys of the animatronics, and what fun games there were!!! I really experienced thousands of nights in fnaf. Fnaf changed my life, I am grateful to Scott for creating something so great, THANK YOU SCOTT CAWTON, I AM HAPPY THAT I AM A FNAF CHILD!!! (and I do not regret at all that I could not sleep after Fnaf) P.S. Sorry for grammatical errors, English is not my native language, I am writing through a translator
Aww, the acceptance you found was perfect. I've been a FNAF fan since the first game (I was already 24, yeesh), digested fan games, songs and of course, theories. It's easy to feel like you'll never catch up with the new brains, but we have to remember, we're closer to Scott Cawthon's generation, and he made this game! We can learn from each other.
Love the collection of miscellaneous references like “crowbar to the knee” for Piemations, a little Friday Night Funkin at 2:49, even just a bit of MatPat Phone Guy or even all the smaller details to other videos and even just other pop culture references
Lyrics : Just a little bit, just a little bit longer Like a little kid, I don't feel I belong here With a bit of grit till the break of dawn we're withering a bit, just a little bit I've never been a fan Of indie horror trend Made to fit a modern kids' attention span They don't need open worlds They chose a tiny cage They theorize a lore Out of a single page A little trip I planned To make them understand Show 'em Kojima and Romero's work firsthand But as I looked away They found a new display And three exhibits perished on a stage I heard something creeping in vents behind the walls The music box sings out of tune (Just a little bit, just a little bit longer) The kid are all gone, I see nothing here at all But somethings pulls my hand So that's the end My time ran out so soon! Calm down, you're doing really well Yeah just like us when we were twelve Hold this flashlight, it's gonna help a little bit Just a little bit A thousand nights we spent like this So just hang tight, and it's a breeze Just focus on the fan and breathe A little bit longer We are the kids of the FNAF Their shiny teeth are not enough May Foxy make you wanna barf a little bit Just a little bit We've all been reared on hollow stares You had carebears we had bear scares So it is them who should beware For a little bit longer (Just a little bit, just a little bit longer)x2 He-Hello? Hello hello? Yeah some exhibits tend to wonder outside their case Hello hello? I know, I know It might be creepy, but you're not gonna die, I guess Er.. they're pretty slow, so just stay low Keep cameras on and avoid the stress... SKIP Oh, won't you shut it? We know it by heart It's kinda obvious what you've been doing here from the start 10 years we spent on Reddit, MatPatting this metal zoo Got Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Freddy, the pattern is nothing new Man, this is just pathetic, you better hide in a suit Cause no one puts you back together in The Chalkeaters' AU! FNAF made us who we are, and we made it something more Bringing games, music, art, and debating on the lore Markiplier lit this fire, Tombstone shook it to the core, So you kiss your fazz goodbye, we're your bite of '24! Did I become an old man who yells at clouds That my insecurities formed? This kid was too proud, and the crowd just seemed too loud He welcomed no one to his world So, are there beautiful fandoms all around? I feel I've been missing a ton (Just a little bit, just a little bit longer) Do bronies make art? Should I maybe try Minecraft? Got so much to do My research's due By the next Comic Con We are the kids of the FNAF Their shiny teeth are not enough Their loud breathing makes us laugh A little bit Just a little bit And every second of the way You know we too can play this game Throw in your custom nights and days For forever and longer We are the kids of the FNAF Their shiny teeth are not enough Their loud breathing makes us laugh A little bit Just a little bit We've all been reared on hollow stares They had carebears we had bear scares So it is you who should beware For forever and longer (Just a little bit, just a little bit longer Like a little kid, I don't feel I belong here) For forever and longer (With a bit of grit till the break of dawn we're withering a bit, just a little bit longer) For forever and longer (Just a little bit, just a little bit longer Like a little kid, I don't feel I belong here) For forever and longer (With a bit of grit till the break of dawn we're withering a bit, just a little bit longer) For forever and longer (Just a little bit, just a little bit longer Like a little kid, I don't feel I belong here With a bit of grit till the break of dawn we're withering a bit, just a little bit)
the living tombstone was one of the first nerdcore creators (at least that i know of) so the shook it to the core line has 2 meanings they have a lot of banger songs and their most popular song is Five Nights at Freddy's 1 Song with 369mil views and their second most popular song is Five Nights at Freddy's 2 Song with 330mil views so they have been a super important part of helping grow Five Nights at Freddy's
Saw a video of TLT performing live the other day. The performance was somewhat mid but the crowd was into it and brought the energy. Was actually fun to watch.
Their work is widely remembered in the FNAF fnadom. Their FNAF 2 song is a widely circulating meme, and their 1st FNAF song made it into the credits of the FNAF movie; along with just now having an orchestral version uploaded on their channel. While their other works are not as well known, they are far from forgotten.
Being someone who thoroughly enjoyed this game and the community. I think this represents what FnaF really is. It's not a game. Not a vision. It's a concept, an ideal. Most importantly, a community. Scott made a game that he thought was scary, and we made it into something absolutely horrifying in some cases(Talking about you FnaF Plus. Giving me nightmares for weeks) Though Steelwool tried it's best to stop us from improving, redesigning, and making this franchise better than it ever has been. You can't stop an ideal, you can try. But an ideal can't, and never will be stopped. That's the beauty of the FnaF community. Creativity, story, everything about this community is what makes it great.
This can literally only be described as a love letter to an entire generation, a community raised by chessboard patterned floors and banging of metallic parts against a closed door. Artists, musicians, youtubers, cosplayers, theorizers, fans... everyone! So thank you for this ode to the kids of the FNAF and a reminder that it's never too late to explore these gems!
I like how even though Codey isn't as prevalent in the different sides of the fandom, he's in fact the most fundamental part in it; how would artists, writers, theorists or cosplayers make their art without the let's players' showcase of the games themselves? Not only that, but he's literally the one keeping them alive while they snoop around in the security room lmao
Я как-то задавал себе вопрос на днях "Какая лучшая песня у The Chalkeaters?", и мог точно сказать "Они все одинаково классные, со своими идеями, приколами и отличным звуком", но после этой... я будто преисполнился. Переслушал раз 30 если не больше (за 2 дня): мотив, смысл, текст, идея, анимация, персонажи (дизайн, характеры и особенности персонажей), пасхалочки и мемы - ВСЕ просто на высоте, хотя я ДАЛЕКО не фанат FNAF. Есть в этом песне что-то реально высокое - что обычная инди игра может максимально сплотить людей на создания именно что СОВМЕСТНОГО творческого контента для реализации своего потенциала, что в сумме дает невероятную фанбазу и преданность казалось бы для сшитой кое-как по началу игре про оживших роботов - что буквально олицетворяет строчку "FNAF сделал нас теми, кто мы есть, и мы превратили его в нечто большее" Особенно на фоне этого грустно звучат слова профессора про "не хотел никого пускать в свой мир", т.к. на протяжении всех его прошлых видео (кроме наверное Roll the Fallout), он всегда участвовал один, как бы отстранённый от остального фандома игр, которые были в песнях. Возможно я могу ошибаться, но кажется что для профессора (до этой песни) игры были исключительно только играми, которые могут быть проработанные, с открытым миром и кучей возможностей, или которые изменили игровую индустрию своими механиками и нововведениями (0:14, 0:18-0:23). Для него было огромным разочарованием и упущением факт, что фандом может изменить даже самую посредственную игру до интернет-игрового-феномена, что фанаты меняют игру в лучшую сторону. Самое забавное, что я далеко не являюсь фанатом FNAF. Я знал только основы сюжета про души детей в роботах и фиолетовом человеке и воспоминания, как я играл на телефоне в 1-ую, 2-ую и 3-ию часть.
Anyone else noticing the codes that keep appearing on the screens, like R3F at 1:10 and various others, I sense a secret here but I’m not smart enough for it
1:59 this feels so personal, Since I was a kid I was always bullyied to the point of not having friends and I ended up taking refuge in old video games and music, Until i recently made friends and i was a bit encouraged to meet more people
It took an hour, but I solved the Easter egg code! So fun to have a bunch of hidden components throughout the song Spolier/ hint below! "Where fantasy & fun come to life"
This is so cute, and yeah 100% feel the case of "this fandom isnt for me and its kinda weird but when I was a kid my interests were weird too so who am I to look down on them for enjoying [ ] now" also the sound is so good shout out all who worked on this

Each person in the room being a different part of the fandom was nice. I could tell Artists, Cosplayers, Theorists, let's players, and musicians. This just feels like a love letter to the fandom and I love it so much.
But overall, they were the same - FNAF Kids.
Yeah, I'm aware I ruined it. Sorry.
Yo thats really cool
I love how therists based on Dawko, and he beats chica same as in UCN where he beated 50/20
If anyone's curious which is which:
1:41 Musician (DamWantsToJam)
1:43 Theorist (TheodoreLawrence13)
1:46 Cosplayer (Alex)
1:50 Let's Player (ChEaTcOdEY)
1:52 Artist (JULIA_CAT08)
I'm guessing let's players was the one with the mask flipping through the cams? Honestly, made me think more of max moders.
Its funny how this song, is not only about FNAF but about what all the kids around 2014 were watching and what they are doing now, and IRONICALLY the MV is done in a 80s Style.
Most of FNAF took place in 80s ?

I know that most likely no one is going to see this, but I really like how the students make sure to include the professor and help him with the game, and celebrating with him when he helps them beat the game (and also giving him suggestions for games to look into). It can get missed with the music, but I think that part of the music video (their welcoming him into their community) is my favorite. I hope one day I can feel comfortable putting myself out there and finding a community for my favorite games and media like that.
Its sometimes hard and other times easier but trust me when i say that you will find those who enjoy the games you like as much as you do even if they might not admit it 😊
İ hope. And I hope I can lose the little shyness I have from being so new to FNaF. I had to write this to feel better😞 (İ started with movie😅)
I like that part too, i just started getting into fnaf, and i know i'm hella late, but it helps when people are welcoming, and help you figure it out, and don't laugh at you for being late to the fandom, or at your struggles.

Hi
Is alex the first character on the channel? Where does she come from? ITS SO CONFUSING
@@HotdoggerYT pretty sure all the kids are Chalkeaters Originals BUT.... I'm pretty sure that: Alex (cosplay kid), Julia (artist kid) and Damian (musician) all originate specifically from this song. Theo (the theorist) first cameo'd in "Roll out the Fallout" (and I,m fairly sure he was as I thought the actual FNAF Kids tease of that song) and Codey (gamer kid) first appeared as the star of "Lock me up". Of note is the fact that this might be the actual first time we actually get his name since the Chalkeaters AU wasn't born yet.
Also.... in Julia and Codey's cases, names aren't actually confirmed but extrapolated from the Video call screen names.
I'm always excited for a song when I see you're in it, OR3O!
That’s a really sweet and catchy song. I like how it shows the charm of the fandoms and how it’s important to share your love to something with others instead of keeping it to yourself like Professor Chalk, who in the end stepped out of his fear and pride to realize how much good stuff he can enjoy and make bonds with people while doing it.
@SuperOctolingInklingSplatoon yeah back in the day gamers were bullied if anyone outside of their own fandoms found out they played games so the older generation had this real fear of being ostracized that they hesitate to share their involvement in fandoms
Honestly there was so much more hidden behind a song in just a couple of seconds it's surprising
@@paracame8162it's funny how now I enjoy going out with some gamer-themed shirts with controller on chest so everyone know I'm a gamer and won't be surprised about my messed hair lol (tho I remain well-mannered so cashiers and others seems friendly enough)
Tbh the animation was good but i wouldnt call the song catchy
Doubly so; it also showed how the crew came to value Chalk's contributions too, the rest of them were ignoring the exhibits or being bored, outside of Damien, who seemed to be actually paying attention. And in the end, it's Professor Chalk's realization of "oh, hey, an Atari 2600." that EASILY turned them fighting the animatronics on their head as Chalk effortlessly about-faces the animatronics using the very thing that codes all of the secrets in the franchise; 2600/ZX Spectrum era arcadey games.
A beautiful imagery of "You'ld be surprised what you'll learn when you look over your garden wall"
3:21 did anybody else realize that the guy with the mask is the guy from the quarantine song they made???!
Roll out the fall out 00:29
The girl in the background
I like how this song has good animation and lore too! I think that when Chalk was little, he was lonely and played old games by himself (which explains how he is kind of scared of newer Game Trends). But his students decided to help him overcome the fear by showing him FNAF. He was scared to play it at first but his students encouraged him to play it so he did. He ended up liking it and wanted to play more games, so his students game him the list at the end. The students basically showed Chalk it’s ok to be afraid but if you try something you might like it. Cant wait for the next song! 😁
Reminds me that when FNAF was out, I was creeped out and was still disinterested but since summer 2018, I have found a nice liking to FNAF.

I caught that too, LOL
Im blind when?
The irony applies to the chalkeaters and tombstone too
I love the underlying message of this song. How for a lot of older internet users the FNAF craze seems strange, but once you look deeper you realize that its for younger kids what the likes of MLP, Minecraft and such were for us. These things can be enjoyed on their own, yes, but they're often much better enjoyed with the community.
I disagree. Comparing FNAF to My little pony is a bit weird.
@@redpanda6497 You do know Gabriel Brown's history, right? That line in the song was an obvious nod to how he really got started in the greater internet sphere. Same with Living Tombstone.
Same with us :)
Maybe I’m misunderstanding a bit or maybe I’m just crazy. The first season of mlp came out in 2010, the full release of Minecraft came out in 2011, and of course the OG FNAF just turned 10, so I feel like these things came out close enough to capture the hearts and minds of the same group of kids (myself included, especially since I was a little late to the party on the first two). The overall message that things are better enjoyed together resonates deeply tho :)
@@DannyVass the first season of MLP did NOT came in 2010, it's an 80's franchise, the first season of MLP:FiM did came out in 2010
This made me cry a bit. Just the idea that a fandom is a place for all kinds of creative people to collaborate and express themselves in a safe environment is beautiful and something not many people outside of those fandoms acknowledge.
Of course there is no perfect fandom but most of its not cringe, its just sincere
One of the many gifts of the internet
It might be cringe sometimes, but there's nothing really wrong about it.
Let's just all embrace our cringiness.
@@MFGhostly don't kill the part of yourself that is cringe, kill the part that cringes
Yeah, definitely made me tear up a little, too. Hell of a colab.
@@carmelwolf129exactly this
I was definitely a FNAF kid when I was younger, but i've kinda grown out of it. And honestly, that's okay. Interests change and evolve over time. One of the most important things i've learned is that fandoms (for the most part) are created because the product itself is good. Fandoms can create a lot of noise that distorts the original product, so it's important to cut past that noise and see it for yourself.
🤙 🤙 🤙 Determinism is Freedom 🤙
Okay, I absolutely love how all the FNAF kids were kind and supportive, just coaching and reassuring him and saying he was doing great.

No wonder he was so confident with Fallout, the first Fallout game released in 1997 and the first Legend of Zelda game (figure shown at 2:14) was released in 1986, giving an 11 year gap from the look of him as a child he is about 6-7 meaning he'd be 17-18 by the time Fallout came out meaning he would also be in the age target for the game and would thus be caught up in it, unlike FNAF which released in 2014 or Among Us in 2020.
Alternatively, he could have been a little younger and just gotten a copy of Zelda years after its original launch.
The snes could still play the nes games. So 90s kids grew up with 80s games. Hell, my brother and I had my dad’s Atari and played asteroids when we were very, very little.

It genuinely means so much to me to see something like this… people HATE the FNaF fandom, and Bronies, and Furries, and Minecraft TH-camrs, even the Undertale fandom…
And of COURSE there are bad parts! Every fandom has their extremists and their illegal Rule34, hell, so do golf clubs and religion and EVERYTHING in life. it’s bad stuff out there, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. These fandoms and embracing the cringe of it when I was 10-13 made a part of me I’ll never let go of. Fanfiction is what started me writing, fanart was what started me drawing. Doing things out of passion helps you be sure it’s what you really wanna do for your life- maybe off and on or in the background while I focus on a proper full time job, but I will NEVER stop creating! And it’s because of these fandoms.
Except furries, you`re right! Although maybe it`s true, it`s a good cringe instead of a bad one
@@djamtz what do you mean “except furries”? Like 95% of furries are just children who draw Disney-inspired OCs. I know because I’ve been in the furry fandom since I was 11 years old and I’m now a grown-ass woman. Sure, there are some who are creeps or criminals, but just like my original comment said: “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water”
The Undertale fandom is full of pedophiles.
Online multiplayer games are desperately racist.
The FNaF fandom is full of beastiality.
All organized religion has fearmongering.
The furry community is full of neurodivergent and queer people who support each other, who were drawn to this fandom because of shared bigotry and hatred. Like any public group that is founded on vulnerability they have predators in them who want to take advantage of that, but that will ALWAYS happen. Should we just… not ever be genuine? Not ever be vulnerable? Not ever try to connect over shared experiences?
It’s called Rule34 because it’s a natural rule of the internet: “if it EXISTS then people have sexualized it”
Well… furries exist. People sexualized it. It’s not shocking, and it’s no reason to call them exempt.
@@djamtz welcome to the club pal

The line "We've all been reared on hollow stares, They had carebears we had bear scares" Is so real because in the same way adults are nostalgic for the 80's/90's, WE were literally DEFINED by fnaf, and undertale, and dozens of other games that lit the fire that propelled us down this rabbit hole even all these years later. THATS why this song has such a retro theme. They were the 80's kids, sure, but we were, and ARE, the fnaf kids. More specifically, fnaf's kids.
We might've been born too early for floating cars, but I think what we got is arguably just as precious. Thank you, fnaf, and all the games you inspired. Thank you for existing.

This actually made me cry. I was 7 when the first game came out and I became a fan when my older sister showed me Markiplier playing the third game one night. It's crazy to think that I've spent more of my life as a FNaF fan that not. It's really such an amazing community - even if we do get a bit quirky at night - and has had an immensely positive impact on my life. Keep up the good work everyone!
@@auroraofclanborealis It breaks my mind what a difference an approximate half decade makes. When I was 7 I was still using windows XP, TH-cam was still a *relatively* new thing (the UI used to suck real bad), Pokémon Platinum and LittleBigPlanet were my games of the year, and Obama just got into office.
@@DannyVass I get what you mean. When I was 7 I hadn't even heard of TH-cam, Pokemon Emerald and Paper Mario TTYD were my GOTYs, and I guess this one little website for Harvard students called "TheFacebook" launched. I'm only 27 but I feel like a grandpa.
This is so true, I've been in the fandom since the fnaf 2 teasers and stuff came out (i think I was like 7 or 8 too) and never left this community, and the line "Yeah just like us when we were twelve" hit me unethically hard.

Welcome to FNAF-land Chalkeaters! While I find it doesn’t have the same gaming prestige of some of the classic franchises, the community is something special! Plus I think this last year between the release of the movie, the celebrating of the 10th anniversary, and the announcement of the collab with Dead by Daylight, their biggest collab yet, I think it’s pretty clear that FNAF’s here to stay. Can’t wait to add this song to my FNAF playlist.

I really like how this represents people who became fnaf fans as children and after 10 years they’re all grown up but still enjoy fnaf and have basically become experts, each one of the five children (five children holy shit fnaf reference??) represent a different part of the fandom, artists, musicians, let’s players, cosplayers and theorisers.
This is a masterpiece and really out of the box compared to other fnaf fan songs
Yep, exactly. Also it's cool that it shows that anyone can join a fandom and that you shouldn't be embarrassed for being in one.

also the fact that the 5 students represent each a side of a fandom (the gamer, the musician, the artist, the cosplayer and the theory guy) makes them work so great as a group!

The Guy learning to play piano by FNAF Synthesia songs really brought me back since I did exactly the same when learning to play FNAF songs.
The song is catchy and sounds pleasant to the ear. And the way it's filled with typical things that people in fandoms do is just - great.
This song hits deep for me, I’ve always lived under the pressure that playing video games would make me lonely and with no friends, or at least that’s what my parents told me, to a point I ended believing that and kept my hobbie as a secret to anyone, and nowdays I see this communities and famdoms with such passion and beauty. Now I’m 23 and I feel (and I am honestly) too old for those things, it really makes me wonder how would I be today as a person if I had held to my true love for just a little bit longer…
Thanks Chalkeaters and everyone involved for this beautiful song!
2:50 An FNF reference was definitely NOT one of the things I expected to see in a Chalkeaters FNAF song, but it's always cool to see someone normally outside the fandom appreciate it!

As someone who never really cared one way or another about FNAF, man. I expected the song to be good, but the narrative angle they went with on this one is just so cool, and perfectly fitting. It's easy to get focused on the bad sides of fandom online, don't get full on celebrations of the good sides like this very often. This song just screams community, in so many little ways, it's great.
This deserves more virality, it's literally a love letter to all the fans of fnaf and other fandoms, those who grew up with this, all those “weird kids” who were around before all this was popular. I really got nostalgic for this, it touched my heart and not to mention the animation which is out of this world. Incredible work!💗💗💗💗
Got to say...
Me, being SUCH a FNaF-fanatic to the point, where I was asked to be a LORE CONSULTANT for the whole production, is definitely a highlight of MY LIFE!
It was a pleasure working with so many talented people, who were forced to listen to my insane deep-dives about any innocuous topic... I was on a mission to make EVERY FNaF-fan happy, and, I think, I've succeeded...
Just so you know, if there is any easter egg, callback or FNaF-reference, that you might think were unintentional... No, they aren't... We've put them there! Deliberately! Just for you! And there could've been more, trust me, I had plans... But you can't keep polishing something forever...
This was a year in the making, and looking from inside, I cannot emphasise this enough, how much care, attention and love was put by every member of the team into this... I am sincerely grateful for this wonderful opportunity to show to the whole fandom, how much I love every last piece of it...

Прям песня до слёз, действительно вспоминаешь как сидел смотрел теории, анимации, музыку по фнафу… я действительно рад тому что я тогда на просторах ютуба увидел первую песню The Living Tombstone по фнаф, я помню как смотрел каждый ролик кула и Винди, помню как смотрел Рэгдейз, помню как смотрел моды по фнафу для Гариз мода и Майнкрафта, помню все те прекрасные анимации, как я рисовал этих персонажей, как я постоянно играл в первые 3 части на телефоне, как пытался играть мои любимые песни по фнаф на пианино, как я каждый день проверял сайт Скотта, как выпрашивал у родителей денег на плюшевые игрушки анимотроников, а какие были фан игры!!! Я и вправду пережил во фнафе тысячи ночей. Фнаф изменил мой жизнь, я благодарен Скотту за то что он создал что то такое великое, СПАСИБО СКОТ КОУТОН, Я СЧАСТЛИВ ТОМУ ЧТО Я РЕБЁНОК ФНАФА!!!(и я ни капельки не жалею о том что я после фнафа не мог тогда спать)

The song brings tears to your eyes, you really remember how you sat and watched theories, animations, music on fnaf... I'm really glad that I saw the first song The Living Tombstone on fnaf on TH-cam back then, I remember watching every video of Cool and Windy (Russian fnaf theoris), I remember watching Ragdays (Russian FNAF series with black humor in Garis mod), I remember watching fnaf mods for Garis Mod and Minecraft, I remember all those wonderful animations, how I drew these characters, how I constantly played the first 3 parts on my phone, how I tried to play my favorite fnaf songs on the piano, how I checked Scott's website every day, how I begged my parents for money for plush toys of the animatronics, and what fun games there were!!! I really experienced thousands of nights in fnaf. Fnaf changed my life, I am grateful to Scott for creating something so great, THANK YOU SCOTT CAWTON, I AM HAPPY THAT I AM A FNAF CHILD!!! (and I do not regret at all that I could not sleep after Fnaf)

Aww, the acceptance you found was perfect. I've been a FNAF fan since the first game (I was already 24, yeesh), digested fan games, songs and of course, theories. It's easy to feel like you'll never catch up with the new brains, but we have to remember, we're closer to Scott Cawthon's generation, and he made this game! We can learn from each other.
Love the collection of miscellaneous references like “crowbar to the knee” for Piemations, a little Friday Night Funkin at 2:49, even just a bit of MatPat Phone Guy or even all the smaller details to other videos and even just other pop culture references

Lyrics :
Just a little bit, just a little bit longer
Like a little kid, I don't feel I belong here
With a bit of grit till the break of dawn we're
withering a bit, just a little bit
I've never been a fan
Of indie horror trend
Made to fit a modern kids' attention span
They don't need open worlds
They chose a tiny cage
They theorize a lore
Out of a single page
A little trip I planned
To make them understand
Show 'em Kojima and Romero's work firsthand
But as I looked away
They found a new display
And three exhibits perished on a stage
I heard something creeping
in vents behind the walls
The music box sings out of tune
(Just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
The kid are all gone,
I see nothing here at all
But somethings pulls my hand
So that's the end
My time ran out so soon!
Calm down, you're doing really well
Yeah just like us when we were twelve
Hold this flashlight, it's gonna help a little bit
Just a little bit
A thousand nights we spent like this
So just hang tight, and it's a breeze
Just focus on the fan and breathe
A little bit longer
We are the kids of the FNAF
Their shiny teeth are not enough
May Foxy make you wanna barf a little bit
Just a little bit
We've all been reared on hollow stares
You had carebears we had bear scares
So it is them who should beware
For a little bit longer
(Just a little bit, just a little bit longer)x2
He-Hello? Hello hello?
Yeah some exhibits tend to wonder
outside their case
Hello hello? I know, I know
It might be creepy,
but you're not gonna die, I guess
Er.. they're pretty slow, so just stay low
Keep cameras on and avoid the stress...
SKIP
Oh, won't you shut it?
We know it by heart
It's kinda obvious
what you've been doing
here from the start
10 years we spent on Reddit,
MatPatting this metal zoo
Got Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Freddy,
the pattern is nothing new
Man, this is just pathetic,
you better hide in a suit
Cause no one puts you back together
in The Chalkeaters' AU!
FNAF made us who we are,
and we made it something more
Bringing games, music, art,
and debating on the lore
Markiplier lit this fire,
Tombstone shook it to the core,
So you kiss your fazz goodbye,
we're your bite of '24!
Did I become an old man who yells at clouds
That my insecurities formed?
This kid was too proud,
and the crowd just seemed too loud
He welcomed no one to his world
So, are there beautiful fandoms all around?
I feel I've been missing a ton
(Just a little bit, just a little bit longer)
Do bronies make art?
Should I maybe try Minecraft?
Got so much to do
My research's due
By the next Comic Con
We are the kids of the FNAF
Their shiny teeth are not enough
Their loud breathing makes us laugh
A little bit
Just a little bit
And every second of the way
You know we too can play this game
Throw in your custom nights and days
For forever and longer
We are the kids of the FNAF
Their shiny teeth are not enough
Their loud breathing makes us laugh
A little bit
Just a little bit
We've all been reared on hollow stares

For forever and longer
(Just a little bit, just a little bit longer
Like a little kid, I don't feel I belong here)

I only listened to her
Me before: come on, let's hear this hit.
Me after: it's my favorite song along with roll out the fallout.
I like Must Have Been the Wind, One More Pull and Crushing 30's the best. But I will add this to my list all the same.
furrymon... BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS GOOD I SWEAR
At this point Black Gryphon is just a member of the Chalkeaters XD
(Not an insult, he's great.)
The irony of line where Professor Chalk thinks to explore the brony fandom when he is literally voiced by one of the pillar Brony musicians.
"markiplier lit this fire tombstone shook it to the core" goes hard can't believe someone still remembers the living tombstone
Oh god you made me feel old
the living tombstone was one of the first nerdcore creators (at least that i know of) so the shook it to the core line has 2 meanings they have a lot of banger songs and their most popular song is Five Nights at Freddy's 1 Song with 369mil views and their second most popular song is Five Nights at Freddy's 2 Song with 330mil views so they have been a super important part of helping grow Five Nights at Freddy's
@@larrychilders6599 same tbh the first fnaf game came out almost 10 years ago (no joke)
Saw a video of TLT performing live the other day. The performance was somewhat mid but the crowd was into it and brought the energy. Was actually fun to watch.
Their work is widely remembered in the FNAF fnadom. Their FNAF 2 song is a widely circulating meme, and their 1st FNAF song made it into the credits of the FNAF movie; along with just now having an orchestral version uploaded on their channel. While their other works are not as well known, they are far from forgotten.
i love how matpat is absoloutley everywhere in collabs now, this is amazing
Being someone who thoroughly enjoyed this game and the community. I think this represents what FnaF really is. It's not a game. Not a vision. It's a concept, an ideal. Most importantly, a community. Scott made a game that he thought was scary, and we made it into something absolutely horrifying in some cases(Talking about you FnaF Plus. Giving me nightmares for weeks) Though Steelwool tried it's best to stop us from improving, redesigning, and making this franchise better than it ever has been. You can't stop an ideal, you can try. But an ideal can't, and never will be stopped. That's the beauty of the FnaF community. Creativity, story, everything about this community is what makes it great.
This can literally only be described as a love letter to an entire generation, a community raised by chessboard patterned floors and banging of metallic parts against a closed door. Artists, musicians, youtubers, cosplayers, theorizers, fans... everyone! So thank you for this ode to the kids of the FNAF and a reminder that it's never too late to explore these gems!
New song from the legends
My favourite part 2:34 😂😂😂Freddy is forever traumatized

YAAAA!!!!!
Oh my god
I knew I wasn't just hearing things!
I like how even though Codey isn't as prevalent in the different sides of the fandom, he's in fact the most fundamental part in it; how would artists, writers, theorists or cosplayers make their art without the let's players' showcase of the games themselves? Not only that, but he's literally the one keeping them alive while they snoop around in the security room lmao
Я как-то задавал себе вопрос на днях "Какая лучшая песня у The Chalkeaters?", и мог точно сказать "Они все одинаково классные, со своими идеями, приколами и отличным звуком", но после этой... я будто преисполнился.
Переслушал раз 30 если не больше (за 2 дня): мотив, смысл, текст, идея, анимация, персонажи (дизайн, характеры и особенности персонажей), пасхалочки и мемы - ВСЕ просто на высоте, хотя я ДАЛЕКО не фанат FNAF.
Есть в этом песне что-то реально высокое - что обычная инди игра может максимально сплотить людей на создания именно что СОВМЕСТНОГО творческого контента для реализации своего потенциала, что в сумме дает невероятную фанбазу и преданность казалось бы для сшитой кое-как по началу игре про оживших роботов - что буквально олицетворяет строчку "FNAF сделал нас теми, кто мы есть, и мы превратили его в нечто большее"
Особенно на фоне этого грустно звучат слова профессора про "не хотел никого пускать в свой мир", т.к. на протяжении всех его прошлых видео (кроме наверное Roll the Fallout), он всегда участвовал один, как бы отстранённый от остального фандома игр, которые были в песнях.
Возможно я могу ошибаться, но кажется что для профессора (до этой песни) игры были исключительно только играми, которые могут быть проработанные, с открытым миром и кучей возможностей, или которые изменили игровую индустрию своими механиками и нововведениями (0:14, 0:18-0:23). Для него было огромным разочарованием и упущением факт, что фандом может изменить даже самую посредственную игру до интернет-игрового-феномена, что фанаты меняют игру в лучшую сторону.
Самое забавное, что я далеко не являюсь фанатом FNAF. Я знал только основы сюжета про души детей в роботах и фиолетовом человеке и воспоминания, как я играл на телефоне в 1-ую, 2-ую и 3-ию часть.
Ну, есть как минимум песня про among us и там насколько помню он как раз опять же со студентами взаимодействовал(правда по итогу свихнулся)
