Oh boy who would've predicted this-

These two(or technically now three) dorks have had me in a chokehold since 2021 and it is not going to end anytime soon(if ever-)

"Snowy, what the hell is this"

OH BOY IM GLAD YOU ASKED

These two freaks are Sun and Moon from Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach! Or I guess more formally known as the Daycare Attendant, or DCA for short.

Originally being stationed in the Fazbear Theatre, they were repurposed to look after small children because I guess the theatre wasn't working or something, who knows, it's FazCo.

The way they work is that this singular robot body has two individual minds that pilot it, and whichever one controls the body depends on the light level. Sun comes out when it's bright, Moon comes out when it's dark.

Canonically, Moon was supposed to be removed from the body and basically erased because he'd be too scary for the kids, as he was programmed to be a villain character in the plays ans such. Eventually they just didn't even bother and installed generators so Sun would always be active.

But I'm ignoring most of that because it messes with my headcanon and I will not apologize for it. It's more fun.

"Okay, but why do you care"

Okay gonna be real on main right now, I know how cringe and embarassing of me to do on the internet-

I don't have a perfect explanation, to be honest. I don't know how or why but these guys just do it for me. I don't know if it's the jester aesthetics(which I could go an a whole other tangent about), the sun and moon(celestial bodies I mean) themes, how silly and eccentric they are combined with how severe their situation really is when you look deeper. Also the fact that yes, they were made to take care of others and they are good at what they do, but that's not all there is to them.

There's SO MUCH MORE to these two nerds.

Also just the fact that they're so unapologetically goofy and enjoy things like art and whatever the hell gymnastics Moon does, compared to how unbearably MEAN the world has gotten recently, specifically in fandom/online spaces.

Like, we're basically in an era where liking anything unironically is cringe and weird, and everyone has to be a nonchalant, unsympathetic, hollow shell of a person all the time in order to not get harassed, doxxed, or worse by random strangers.

It's kind of sad.

On a slightly less deep and depressing note, they just make me smile.

Little random things like Moon's raspy gremlin giggles and Sun's little "okay?" in his HW2 dialogue when he's explaining how the arts and crafts minigame works.

Of course, Kellen Goff did an amazing job bringing the boys to life with his acting!

Another interesting thing to note- Kellen Goff said he sorta based his characterization of Sun and Moon off of his own autism, and a lot of people that like these two are also neurodivergent in some fashion. And I have SEVERAL neurodivergent friends that insist I have ADHD at LEAST.

This might just be fueling that fire, I dunno.

What's also super interesting about these two is the fact that they're NOT two-dimensional. They don't just have one trait that makes up their entire character. Sun is super anxious in Security Breach and Ruin, and genuinely seems like a sweet guy trying to keep everyone else safe from his other half. Meanwhile in Help Wanted 2 he will call you bad to your face and say that he might just let Moon kill you because you suck at paint by number.

Moon is actually less well-rounded considering how little dialogue he's gotten(sad), but it is implied that he can also be sassy and while he was made to be a villain on the stage, he WAS good with kids at one point. Cassie, the protagonist of the Ruin DLC, says she never slept better than the time she was with Moon in the daycare.

also i wanna kiss them on their dumb flat faces but you knew that already
