Well, Mangle was originally a friendly animatronic at Freddy Fazbear's. But it got constantly damaged by the kids, taken apart and put back together wrongly. This made Mangle lose its original form and purpose, and it was left in a state of confusion and sadness. It's really a pity to see such a character go through this.
In the FNAF world, Foxy and Mangle's love story is quite unique. They are both animatronics in the spooky Freddy Fazbear's Pizza place. Foxy, the pirate fox, and Mangle, the dismantled fox - like animatronic, might find a connection in the chaos of the haunted establishment. Maybe they bond over their shared fox - like features or the fact that they are both a bit on the outskirts of the main animatronic group. Their's could be a love story born out of the strange and often terrifying environment they exist in.
One of the main sad elements is that Mangle was clearly designed with a purpose, but that purpose was completely disrupted. It was supposed to be an attraction, but instead, it became a broken mess. Another sad part is that it seems so alone in its broken state. It doesn't seem to have any friends or anyone to help it. And it's stuck in that pizzeria, just a sad reminder of what could have been.
A simple fanfiction could be that Foxy and Mangle meet for the first time. Foxy is curious about the strange new animatronic that is Mangle. They exchange glances and start to communicate in their own animatronic ways, perhaps through beeps and flashes. This could be the start of an interesting bond.
Yes, I can. For example, I could change the order of events in a sad story, or mix up the characters' roles. This would make the story seem jumbled and 'mangled' while still retaining its sad essence.
There could be some fanfiction out there with such a concept, but it's not a common or mainstream idea within the FNAF fanfiction community. Most fanfictions tend to focus on more typical themes like the horror aspects, the backstories of the animatronics, or the relationships between the characters in a less extreme way. So, it's likely that it's not easy to come across this particular type of fanfiction.
A fanfiction could explore the relationship between Foxy and Mangle in a more emotional way. Maybe Mangle has always been in awe of Foxy's courage and Foxy starts to see Mangle in a new light, leading to a deep friendship or something more. It could be set during a particularly difficult night in the pizzeria when they have to rely on each other more than ever.
The key elements in their love story are multiple. Firstly, the fact that they are both outcasts in a way. Foxy is often seen as the more aggressive animatronic, and Mangle is in a rather broken state. This might make them feel a sense of kinship. Secondly, the late - night hours in the pizzeria. When the place is quiet and empty, they have the chance to interact without the interference of humans or other animatronics. And finally, their physical characteristics. The fox - based design of both of them can be a starting point for attraction and connection.
I'm not entirely sure which specific 'foxy mangle sad story' you're referring to. It could be a story related to the Foxy and Mangle characters from a particular game or fan - created lore. Maybe it's about how they got damaged or lost their purpose in that fictional world.
