#ultimately you can use whatever pronouns you want for them! im not trying to police anyone on what they can and cant use

while I respect your head-canon, doesn't sun and moon have a gender already? aren't they referred as males in many media? because I'm getting so many mixed messages

oooh, this is actually something i've wanted to talk about for a while!!!

so! something really interesting about the daycare attendant is how inconsistent their pronouns (and even their gender) have been across all sorts of media

to start: in the games (both security breach and ruin), the daycare attendant is only ever referred to with it/its pronouns. freddy uses these pronouns for them in sb, so it was theorized for a little bit that maybe this is because he just didn't like them (for some reason), but then once ruin came along and these pronouns were used for them again, it seems like that's just the pronouns they're referred to with!

but here's where our first inconsistency is! because their voice actor, kellen goff, is a man. so that means the daycare attendant has a masc sounding voice, and i believe this is where the majority of people get the he/him pronouns from. (also, their in game file names are called "sunman" and "moonman" respectively, so that's another little thing that points towards them being boys.)

(one last thing to mention about the games is the gendered bathrooms in security breach, which has moon as the mascot for the daycare's men's bathroom, and sun as the mascot for the daycare's women's bathrooms... just a fun thing to mention)

however, that's not the end of it! they're also in a couple books too.

starting with the guidebooks: the afk "security breach files" guidebook uses it/its, while the fnaf encyclopedia uses he/him for both. (but considering the amount of errors this book has i'd actually take that info with a grain of salt).

and in the two "tales of the pizzaplex" stories they're mentioned in, which are "the bobbiedots part 1" and "somniphobia", i believe they're referred to with it/its too? but i don't own the books so correct me if im wrong :p

one final "official" source to mention is all their youtooz merch, which actually uses they/them to refer to both of them, not just the two of them together! which is pretty interesting too

when it comes to online communities though... the majority of fans just use he/him for the dca, because they're typically just perceived as male due to their voice! (though i've heard that before the games release a couple people thought sun was female?) but overall they're widely perceived as masculine, so i can understand the confusion... but i hope this post was able to teach you something!

and before i end this, here's a video someone else did about this subject too!! if you're interested in hearing a little bit more about it...

if there's any other prominent media i should mention, let me know in the notes and i'll add it onto this post :]

#my post #ask #daycare attendant #i've gotten a few (not hateful!!) comments about the pronoun stuff so i figure it's a good time to make this post #ultimately you can use whatever pronouns you want for them! im not trying to police anyone on what they can and cant use #especially since they dont actually have a confirmed gender #but if someone else online is using pronouns other than he/him for the dca dont be disrespectful or anything ok? #and if anyone sends me hate for this im blocking you lol
