Sooo... I officially made a Tumblr for my Circus AU of Friday Night Funkin! I had this AU Idea since middle/late March. Tbh I really wanted to make this AU into a mod, but oh the long process. QwQ
`--·🌟°🎪°🌟·--´
This AU takes place in an alternate universe where FNF characters are all a part of a traveling circus. They all quit their normal lives to dedicate them into entertainment. They are called the 'Dearest Family Circus' because the circus idea was made possible by Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest. Some appear on stage with their own acts. Some share the spotlight with others. And some... don't even appear on stage. They often perform on Friday nights (aka their most expensive performance nights.) They perform at least 2 or 3 nights, then they travel long distances through a train. I will update more about this AU overtime!
Boyfriend is a traveling magician. He was in many other circuses, but he quit the past circuses because they accused his magic tricks of being 'fake." His magic tricks are no cliches. His tricks are meant to be lighthearted and beyond the ordinary. In the previous Circuses he's been to, he was abused, both verbally and physically.
Girlfriend is a Liontamer of this circus. She always loved animals, so she refuses to pick up a whip for lion taming. She had been in circus performances since she was eight-- Lions had always been her thing. (And yes instead of sitting on the speakers, she sits on a lion.) Of course In her earlier performances, she was attacked by a lion, but the pain didn't stop her from what she loved. Girlfriend is, infact, destined to own the Circus someday when her dad and his wife retire.
Daddy Dearest is the Ringmaster of the Circus. It was his idea to start the Circus along with Mommy Mearest. They were such a poor couple until they started the Circus. Him and his wife started the circus 5 years before Girlfriend was born. He had met Mommy Mearest when they were preteens. They had a dream for years that they'll own a place of their own.
Mommy Mearest is a aerialist. She accidentally gave birth to Girlfriend in the middle of a Circus practice before a performance. This was a reason for delaying and/or canceling a performance. Back on topic, Mommy Mearest is in multiple acts. She can flex her whole body and do acrobatics such as aerial silks and aerial hoops. While pregnant with Girlfriend, Mearest either had to be in minor acts, or sit out the entire show.
Skid and Pump are a trapeze duo. They can rely on each other to not fall. Skid and Pump wanted to run away to the Circus due to grief of the deaths of Pump's parents and Skid's dad. It was until Skid's mom, Lila, didn't want the children to run away to the Circus alone. Lila was struggling with financial problems. She was behind on bills and on the brink of eviction from their home. So she quits her normal life and runs away with them.
Pico is a human cannonball. Since guns are prohibited on circus premises by law, he "becomes" the bullet and is a human cannonball. He often picks on Boyfriend before performances or during practices. Him and boyfriend met in Elementary school when the shooting at his school happened.
Monster (commonly known as the Lemon Demon) is a circus freak. He is invulnerable to pain. He can stick sharp objects through him without injury. He is used as one of those "freaks of nature" and is a freakshow.
Senpai tecnically controls the carnival games and rides outside of the Circus. From the ring toss and balloon darts to the ferris wheel 🎡and the carousel 🎠 , he does it all. He says "Everybody's a winner!" Once in a while during performances, he'll pass out foods like cotton candy. He'll even work backstage when he's not busy. Senpai is infact possessed by Spirit with a red tattoo on his left collar bone as punishment for dating the Ringmaster's daughter at one point.
Tankman is the Strongman of the Circus. His real name is still John in this AU. He can lift up to 2-3 tons. Which means he can lift up an elephant or two. Tankman prefers to be alone most of the time. He is quite solitude.
That's all the Images I have for now! Here's some more insights of my AU:
-Tankman is a strongman. (Thank you, @cjs-51703 for the idea btw!)
-I will be also adding some mod characters in this AU as well.
-I MAY also be adding other characters from other franchises such as Spooky Month and Pico's School.
Enjoy!
