EDIT: Okay, I renamed one of my pets Balloon Boy ❤️ Plus he's one of those with the weird December 31, 1969, birthdays, so that's nice. He's my zapper pet at the moment, so I still am looking for ideas of what he should be; plus I might still make a Puppet pet at some point...so I still want suggestions :D
--
I can't believe I'm getting into this fandom -X-; Too scared to play the games, couldn't sleep last night just because of reading the wiki... and yet, here I am!
Anyway, I wanted some advice on pet choices :3 I either want a pet based on Balloon Boy or the Puppet. Which one should I get? Don't want to do both because pet slots are expense-o :( I like the Puppet slightly better, but Balloon Boy would fit in better with my other balloon-themed pets and my reputation around here :P
I also can't decide on what species and color either should be. I have a lot of ideas for the Puppet, hardly any for BB.
Puppet ideas
- the closest color match with the streaks through the eyes, one empty eye, Waradors are sort of puppets
- Puppet is sort of a jack-in-the-box; jacks-in-the-box are freaking terrifying
- obviously
- is an actual animatronic
BB ideas
- tantrum-throwing doesn't fit BB, but I don't really have other ideas :(
- maybe...? I just want a chibi Ghostly :| I guess I could do an overlay for him in more appropriate colors.
Other suggestions for him are appreciated!
I'm not sure if I was looking at the right picture, but it seems to me that the puppet actually looks more like ghostly than warador. How about choosing the chibi ghostly for the puppet?

-laughs- FNaF is terrifyingly wonderful, I love all the backstories and lore that the creator made too.
I've never played the games myself (I play like, pokemon, but otherwise not so much).. have you considered watching some let's plays for them? There's a ton of LPers who've done these videos (toooooons), but one of the msot well known/hilarious to watch would be Markiplier.
I don't have much in opinion of BB or Puppet (I'd personally probably make one of Chica because of all the cupcakes on subeta lol, or the purple guy just because so much speculation-- but that's just me and I like freaky stuff -laughs-) but I do definitely agree BB seems like a fit for your own personal tastes (ie: balloons!)
Here's a few pet ideas for BB that could work maybe!
(Big eyes, looks super happy, only missing the color red!, round like a balloon)
(It wants your soouuullll!)
(Big eyes, looks happy)
(EXACT SAME EXPRESSION OF TERRIFYING HAPPINESS??)
In FNAF3, BB is horribly burned and has white eyes. Pretty perfect for a Nightmare pet.
I feel like any Steamwork pet would better suit Springtrap, but alas, someone else thought of it before me and already got the name.
EDIT: Also, def. voting a Twilight Ghostly for Puppet.
please send me any/all and so I can keep them safe
Yep, the puppet has a white mask (or head... I dunno which XD) so he does look more like a Ghostly :3 Ghostlies are my favorite pets, so that would be a good choice!
I tried playing the free demo of fnaf2 tonight and... it's not too scary, but I got too stressed out! Having to keep up with so many things at once... reminds me of real life XD So I don't think I'll play them. I did watch one of Markiplier's videos of the mini games though and enjoyed it :D And yeah, I mostly play Pokemon and Kirby, when I play anything.
And Chica is my favorite of the animal animatronics (and oh God I love the cupcake XD), so I thought of making a gold Lain or Mallarchy of her! But she's not as intriguing to me as the other two characters. I reallly like the nostalgic Bumbus for BB, so I might go that route! I could always do an overlay on his profile to change the color or add the beanie and balloon :3
googles fnaf3 BB ...yep, gonna have nightmares now. Geez he was just generically creepy in 2, but that's just terrifying. A nightmare pet would definitely suit! I like the twilight Ghostly for the Puppet too; again an overlay could add details.
And oh man, a Steamwork Kanis would be a perfect Springtrap.
Fair warning, it's his jump animation.
please send me any/all and so I can keep them safe
Gaaaaah. Eh, he doesn't have his balloon there... maybe if I give him one of mine he will go away >X<
