Im trying to work on a gif avatar but after I have made it 100x100 and under 55k, it looks badly compressed which is a shame so have uploaded the larger version for now
I wonder if there is a better way to make gif animations?
I'm hoping to open up for commissions on maybe doing custom avatars like this once I iron out all the bugs :)

If it's close to the size limit, try using an image optimizer/compressor to get it down under the limit. If it's far away from the size limit, try dropping the bitplane depth from 8 to 7 (or more) or manually optimize the palette to get better compression. Last resort, try smoothing out the images to remove noise (solid colors compress better).
Try a lower color count, and maybe disable dithering. Banding won't be noticeable on the brief flashy frames. There's over a hundred unique colors on the staticy frames, and that's really just black and white and a few shades of grey.
Also there's a lot of noise below the eyes when he blinks. You could remove that frame-by-frame, since nothing really changes.

Okay ... I actually jumped a bit. THEN I found the "FNAF" in the title line. x///P
Impressive outcome. And yes, unfortunately the web has some evil ways to display an actual successful and detailed gif like some garbage content at times.
If it doesn't hurt your art piece too much, try to reduce the colours from 256 to about 100-128. It helps in most of my cases, at least, but I bet you already tried heaven and hell yourself, hm? :'P

There are hacks to pull off true color or techniques for higher-than-256-color with GIF but I'm *pretty* sure FA's engine would shit the bed trying to display one. Are you using unique palettes instead of web palette? Unique palettes per frame? A hand-optimized and applied per frame palette? Bug FA to support MNG?
You could always try using http://gfycat.com/ , though I'm not sure if FA accepts this file type.
oh I just remembered where I've seen this type of effect, Static X black and white song, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OgH3B49_E4
