** Comparing the characters to the "Weaver Canon" versions of themselves also reveals this trope applies to traits from those versions of the animatronics. For example, in the Weaver verse, Bonnie/Withered Bonnie was female and Toy Bonnie was male, distinguished by their purple and blue colors, respectively. In the Roommates verse, both of the Toy Bonnie analogues are female and Bonworth is based on a male Bonnie. Likewise, Bonita has many of the personality traits of "Weaver Bonnie", but the latter's {{yandere}}-esque obsession with Mike most closely manifests as Bonbon's "humie" fetishism.

* AnArmAndALeg: Unlike in the canon [=FNaF=] 'verse, Jeremy's humanitronics don't try to stuff people into too-tight exosuits. Instead, they see the indigenous PettingZooPeople as automatons with "unlicensed extraneous parts" and seek to "purify them" by removing them. This entails lopping off ears, feet, and possibly hands, [[FlayedAlive peeling off the skin]] and [[FacialHorror carving faces into a more human-like shape]] by, for example, chopping off snouts and beaks.
* DarkIsEvil[=/=]DarkIsNotEvil: Zigzagged between the two when Mike meets Darky for the first time in chapter 27. Although Bonita insists that he has programming glitches that make him the ''most'' dangerous of the humanitronics, when Mike meets him, he actually sounds surprisingly rational: in contrast to the ObliviouslyEvil Fritzine, he talks to them in a friendly manner, seemingly completely aware that they're same sort of people he interacts with during the day, warning them that Jeremy isn't happy about the disappearance of Safety Schmidt, and then goes on his way.

* ManChild: This is pretty much the defining trait of the denizens of 87-A -- Peanut, Goose, Bonbon and Magnifera. The character sheet lists them as "The Careless Friends", and Mike himself notes they live disgustingly laidback lifestyles, given one of them is blind and needs help.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: This is the root-cause behind all of Mike's {{Plot Mandated Friendship Failure}}s, and even when it doesn't go that far, he still has a tendency to unwittingly upset the other residents with his comments.

'''Roommates: Memoirs of the Hairless Ape''' is a long-running ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' AlternateUniverseFic written by Pokemaniacal (not [[Blog/{{Pokemaniacal}} that one]]) in collaboration with and based on works by Creator/TheWeaver, who also provides illustrations.
Told in SecondPersonNarration owing to its origin as an idea on the Website/ImageBoards, it tells the story of you, average guy Mike Schmidt. You're not doing so hot. You're overweight, down on your luck after a work-related injury and living on the street just before the story begins, but at least you have your pride and a sense of basic decency. Did we mention that you're the only human in this WorldOfFunnyAnimals and everyone thinks you're some sort of shaved chimp? Since beggars can't be choosers, you jump at the first offer of a home you get. You just didn't count on the type of roommates you would be getting, exactly. But don't worry. They have a place for you.
Formerly housed on Pastebin, it is being migrated to Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn one chapter at a time, and can be seen [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11250126?view_full_work=true here]]. Note that it's marked NSFW, for violence.
