Matpat is still trying to figure it all out.

    Having a not well-known name on the internet (SammfeatBlueheart), I became a fan back in 2014, drew lots of arts around 2015-16, and finally left the fandom in 2017 due to my adulting struggles and dealing with other fans with art requests and drama. But it's really nice to see the franchise evolved in a great way and now that we have a movie that is rumored since 2015. I might come back drawing art about it? IDK. But for now, I don't think so due to adulting life is so hard and dealing with a lot of responsibilities makes it way harder. It feels like I'm not working for myself at all. As always, Flatlife vids amaze me. They help me know a lot of things since I'm always interested about evolutions of things.

    Fun Fact: Some people might know this but In FNaF 2, Jeremy (the Bite of 87 Victim) who People said he was 'The Scout' from 'Team Fortress 2.' In the lore (In the Comics) when Scout dies and Comes back to life, God said "I'll see you in December 4th, 1987.' Which was the same year Jeremy died in FNaF 2, And Scout's real name is Jeremy. I don't know how TF2 has got into the FNaF Timeline...
