#and when he does it’s in the fredbear plush

[metamatronic]

probably no one cares about this but me, but if anyone was ever curious about michael’s apartment layout, here it is. i use this for reference in the comics, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

[gamerphobe]

i know we all love michael afton, and like i get it, i love him too, but sometimes it really feels like the fnaf fandom cares sooo much about sadboy michael being the saddest boy of all time that they pretend other characters had better lives just so michael seems sadder by comparison

objectively i think elizabeth and the crying child get the worst of this, but especially elizabeth. theres this persistent idea that elizabeth was williams favorite and beautiful angel and he loved and doted on her so much while poor poor mike got nothing. so often i see the dynamic put forward that william was physically abusive but only towards michael. which is ridiculous for a lot of reasons, but especially because we only see william get physical with any of his kids once, and its when he hits elizabeth in the silver eyes.

obviously, the silver eyes is a different continuity. whatever. its still canon, so the things it tells us about the general world and characters still applies. and it outright shows william as an abusive and neglectful father to His Daughter. and EVEN if you want to completely disregard the books, william obviously didnt “love” elizabeth enough in the games to not want to electrocute and experiment on her when he 100% knew she was possessing circus baby. elizabeth was a means to an end to him the same way michael was. he didnt even love her enough to properly keep an eye on her even though he knew she wanted to see a robot that would kill her. if william cared about elizabeth half as much as people pretend he does she would still be alive, because he wouldve put half a mind towards keeping her safe

+ cc is in a similar boat. william had a million chances to be a decent father and try to step in between cc and michael before things went too far. the bite happened at ccs birthday party, literally all william had to do was show up to his own sons birthday and he could have stepped in but he didnt. like, we all know william was using the fredbear plush to keep an eye on cc, so theres no doubt he knew the kid was being bullied. and not only does he do nothing about it, he also 1) actively feeds into ccs fears about the animatronics 2) still makes him go to the establishment housing the animatronics hes terrified of

and the way william talks about them. “you are broken” “i will put you back together” like william views his kids as objects. broken things he can fix. these are not words said by a loving parent

and its not even just the aftons! henry is no where near as horrible as william is—i Am Not suggesting henry was abusive—but he also wasnt a great dad! building a robot to watch your daughter instead of watching your daughter yourself does not make you a good parent! henry loves charlotte, but the emilys were not some perfect family with no issues.

obviouslyyy michael suffered a ton and was a victim no one is saying he wasnt but i promiseee that does not have to come at the cost of pretending no one else was a victim too. things are just as if not more interesting if you acknowlede other characters guys i promise i promise

Sitting On Your Lap 🤭

Imagine you're taller than the others and you pulled them into your lap for comfort. You could be human or animatronic.

Freddy 🐻: The sheer moment you're free from your duties, you wait for Freddy in his green room. The guy is a busy man, so prepare yourself. Sometimes you'd pull off your escapade for a spontaneous meet-and-greet with the kids. So far the staff believe it. However, once you spot the guy waving at you from miles away, you grin. The green room is the only place for cuddles. Freddy always thought your height was remarkable; the only one who could match you was DJ Music Man. We all know Fredbear is the cuddler of the two of you, but you get your chances to coddle him. Your thighs are so plush, making it a great cushion as Freddy says. You two chat about the day while you cuddle.

Chica 🐔: Absolutely LOVES being held by you. She's the shortest, so it's easier to spoon her. You can place her on your lap and that's it. Braid it, comb it, play with her hair and she'll chirp happily. Loves sleeping on your thighs, but not as much as your boobs. They're so soft! She'll always initiate cuddles, but you'll always be the big spoon, except when she wants to spoon you. Now you have a personal jetpack. Cuddles happen either in the green room, Mazercise, or at your attraction (you choose). Also, expect lots of piggyback rides. 

Monty 🐊: Jealous of your height, but secretly thinks it's so hot. Physical affection is your love language, so you both share lots of synthetic skin-to-skin contact. Monty's hands are all over you as much as yours on him. Cuddles only happen in the green room and sometimes in Gator Golf when you two make out in the darkest corners. Oh btw all cuddles turn into makeout sessions eventually. Monty loves your plush thighs; he'll use them as stress balls whenever something irks him. He'll also stuff his face into your breasts and tease your nipples just to rouse you.

Roxy 🐺: Also jealous of your height. My god, does she hate that she likes your height? Her fingers twitch and jolt with anger, just thinking about tearing up your legs, maybe even squeezing them in the process. Real romantic huh? Eventually, she'll fall for you the softer way, removing the envy from her system by demolishing kids at the raceway. Lap sitting only happens in her green room, especially when she styling. The cushion of her chair was flaccid and tearing up, but management refused to get her a new one. Now she doesn't have to worry. She has you. And it's a win-win: you get to feel Roxy on top of you and she gets a comfortable seat.

Sun 🌞: You're so huggable! UH! He just wants to squeeze all day! Whoever built you gave you the softest synthetic flesh ever. Cuddles and lap sitting anywhere in the daycare. Crafting, chatting, any excuse to sit on your lap; he finally gets the chance to feel what it's like to be one of the kids on his lap. Whenever Sun's on low battery, you become his favorite pillow, resting his head on your thighs happily. Tuck him in and hum a lullaby; he loves it (you and moon tie for best singer, even though you're the only ones he's heard.) Sometimes you offer him a massage; there's no real muscle to soothe, but the sensation is nice. Automatically melts to your touch. 

Moon 🌚: He's familiar with DJ's height, but he's not familiar with the unexpected cuddles. A hug behind the back scared the gigabytes out of him. He didn't realize the major height difference until you did that. He's never felt small before. An angy growl emits from his voicebox. Get off! But after you brush past the hostility, you see the softer Moon come out. He's heard about how you are with Sun and his naptime routine and he maybe kinda sorta NOT desperately want you to do the same. The lunar bot soon cozies up against your chest underneath a few blankets with your gentle hand scratching his scalp.

Too small on a stage not meant for them.

Day 5!!! Prompt - Five

Technically there's six but the twins count for Golden... so 5 animatronics?

Not my best vision for a piece and definitely not my best execution, but I'm a week behind (oops! Life hits hard what can I say)

Not my best work but we continue!! Maybe I'll redraw it someday, wasn't feeling too hot with the background and didn't really enjoy drawing the characters too much, but it was decent overall haha.

Gahhh lore lore lore below, lots of text you may not want to read

(Maybe not so) Miniature lore time!

TW!!! Mentions of CHILD DEATH.

So I changed things around a bit to see what I like. Andrew IS in this AU (a character from the stitchwraith(did I spell that right?) which clued us into how Golden Freddy functions) and he's the twin brother of Cassidy. He takes the form of the vengeful spirit while Cassidy will resemble more of Charlie's role (sorta forgiving, protector, but not giver of life, that stays with the puppet.) Andrew and Cassidy were killed within moments of each other, still deciding how (debating on going with the springlock theory or not).

Anyway, Gabriel takes the spot as the oldest of the group, around 14. Jeremy is 8, Fritz 7, and Susie 5. Andrew and Cassidy hang around 12-ish.

A lot of their story is driven by Andrew, Cassidy, and Gabriel. (Bear trio yay!) They try to make plans, finding ways to free themselves, and 'get to heaven', but nothing truly works. They try killing night guards to see if their murderer is one, but they can't tell who it is (due to the spring bonnie suit), and all it results in is a bunch of children with blood on their hands. The youngest 3 truly don't understand. All they do is follow the orders from the "big kids". Blah blah blah story details, there's a lot of dialogue of them just talking. I mean, it's all they can do. Sometimes Gabriel will figure out one of the TVs and manage to turn on cartoons for them to watch, and they've even managed hide and seek a couple times.

blah blah blah more more more

Anyway they find CC's soul in the Fredbear plush. Don't know if I brought something like this up before, because I may have accidentally lied, but this was a detail I put in. CC actually dies during the bite of 83' with the plushy in his arms, and paired with the agony infused into it during FNAF 4, he latches onto it instead of onto Fredbear. Add in his reality altering abilities (as proved by the survival logbook text being altered and blah blah blah, watch God Victim theory, it has some points I use here). As I said, they find the plush with CC's soul. (His name is Eli in this universe, named after Elizabeth because he was born post Elizabeth's death. Times are changed around a LOT) They talk to CC, he's sobbing like 24/7, somehow they come to the conclusion about the happiest day thing, and they send Cassidy in (she wanted to) somehow??? Anyway that's how fnaf world ends up happening. Whole storyline everything blah blah blah, achieves happiest day (different than in the canon game but yk).

Once they learn happiest day they manage to use it(?) on everyone, not exactly the most peak storytelling, I know, but I'm working around it. I still need to actually read the stitchwraith (can't spell wahhh)

And they find heaven.

Most of them.

Andrew stays. He wants revenge. He needs someone to suffer for their actions. And Cassidy can't leave until he does. "Once we find him." He says, "Once he's suffered."

He didn't truly know how long that would take.

blah blah blah blah blah. omg ucn. Yeah that's Andrew. He finds a way to separate himself and Cassidy.

He's alone. "Not held back anymore."

UCN goes on woop woop.

uhmmmmmm

ikr peak storytelling.

then??? idk?? I'll make choices when they make more sense. A little tired lmbo. I'll start catching up this time I promiseeeeeeee. Gonna do smaller pieces to stop eating up time. This piece was SUCH a time eater!!! Should not have taken that long but I've been working on it for like 3 days (70% of that time was just me on my phone but we do not talk about that)

Anyway, sleep well, take my subpar effort, and have a good night! Stay simpin yall

(warnings for eye contact, potential eyestrain (for the images themselves), references to bullying between siblings and death/child death (for the design facts))

The Afton Kids!! (from 1980-1983)

fun design notes:

Michael also goes by Mike and Mikey, but most people close to him call him Mickey. (aka I Forgot To Put The Other Nicknames On There)

'83 Mike's shirt says "ALL BITE". he tried to look/act really tough.

yes, '80 Mike's wearing Foxy Merch.

you'll notice that both Mike and Liz have two things in common: 1) two bits of their hair stand up on top of their heads like bunny ears, and 2) the bunny teeth. They Both Get That From William.

Liz, much like her father, likes rabbits a whole lot. granted, William also likes hares, but y'know.

'83 Liz's hairstyle is somewhat meant to resemble bunny ears.

Cassidy really likes plushies. he likes all toys, but he loves plushies.

yes he has a pacifier. Be Nice To Him.

slightly projecting, but Cass doesn't really like wearing shoes too often. so that does mean he runs around in socks most of the time.

'80 Cassidy just kinda. didn't get changed out of pajamas too often. hence it being his main outfit.

Gabi and Mimi (yes, the missing children) were Cass' best friends before they "disappeared." Gabi used to call him "Osito."

Mike got really mean circa Late 1980 (context: Charlie died, David "disappeared"/died, then his mom died in a car accident). part of it had to do with people just kinda...expecting him to move on while he was dealing with All Of That. so when he sees people offering Cassidy comfort and not expecting him to "toughen up"...well, he wasn't happy. so he started taking out a lot of grief and anger on Cassidy, including calling him "Crybaby." this is obviously not an excuse for Mike's behavior, merely showing his..."logic," i guess?

now...why was Cassidy crying so much? uh, long story short: witnessed his father (in costume) kill a kid (David). due to his father being in the costume, however, Cassidy thought the animatronic did it.

the nail polish is from Liz. he likes it, though :]

due to how the Blurred Lenses animatronics work, The Bite wasn't as bad as it would (potentially) be canonically. it was still dangerous + caused damage, though (partially due to the springlocks). just luckily not fatal in this case.

finally made a design of the Fredbear Plush i like. the yellow in its eyes aren't from light reflecting off, btw :) (< aka That Plushie Is Haunted As Fuck)

Mike made Cassidy the bear mask for Halloween because Cass was still subconscious about his scar + eye. it's why he only wore it on that side.

Cassidy dressing up as a ghost for Halloween is...awfully ironic. considering Events That Are About To Happen.

anyway!! tag time:

More lore about TPP! FORD

As night guard,ford using Stanley as the name.This not only refers to his brother but also Stanley who works at the circus baby and rental whose identity is basically used by Ford several times.

Ford loves gamble, he basically makes money with that (Sometimes he really thinks he should stop.but he does it again)

During his adventures in Michael's dimension he got several nicknames from several people.

° Cassidy calls him "big brain" and sometimes "smart guy", but she often uses "big brain" as a nickname.

° Henry call him hex Dexter after They know each other

° Mike always calls him stanford and sometimes more formally. But he also calls him "smart guy" a few times.

° Some of the people he had conned called him "finger felon" or "vile vertuoso"

° Police often call him "lucky larcenist." With all the things he does.

° bill Still using "sixer, IQ, brainiac" but on certain occasions when he with Cassidy,Bill calls him "the princess's knight" or "sunflower stem" or just "stem". (Sunflower is symbol or zodiac for mike and Cassidy)

Ford is always anxious whenever Cassidy is not in his dreams. He sometimes panics because of it. Until finally Mike gives him his Fredbear plush (Which of course he has fixed up to look like golden freddy) and says that it's mini version of Cassidy

Stanford really hate William, not only his relationship with Bill but also what William did to Schmidt family

Ford really had no interest in anything other than his research.(Bill has traumatized him enough)

After returning to his dimension with the Schmidt family, the first thing he does is go to Utah to check on Freddy's. Which when he gets there, it really stresses him out.

Ford believes on the kids But he really doesn't want to involve them with the portal and rift stuff. He still sends Mabel to get the unicorn hair, but with Cassidy with her

Ford Writing everything about remnant and agony that he learned in journal 4

Like Michael, Ford likes to write in his logbook, some of the things are rather unimportant, but some of the things also concern his feelings for Stanley and other little things he likes that he can't write in his other journal.

Also some Henry and ford conversation:

Henry : I thought he was my best friend... So there's no way he would betray me....

Ford : I understand that feeling hen...

Henry : You think burning the place down is a good idea?

Ford : hell yeah!

Okay the Vanessa David connection anon here its more movieverse Nessa and gameverse CC but a good amount of it can apply to gameverse Van too besides the obvious (abusive dads named Bill, hospital, treated like shit by the fandom)

so like they're both the Afton children that got the most pushed down by William. Mike was decently openly rebellious, Liz got spoiled, etc while they're the most like... neglected is the best word I'm thinking of rn but it's not the best descriptor like Mike got to bully his little bro with basically free reign, he was forced to have a birthday party at Fredbear's when he clearly didn't want to, she was railroaded into becoming a cop to COVER UP HIS CRIMES and (seemingly) still lived with him well into her adulthood. They both know not to fight or stand up to William because the times they did ended badly

David is associated with Golden Freddy while Vanny is associated with Springtrap (<- mutual representatives of the failures of Fazbear Ent. (<- Delusional))

David if he lived just like mathematically would had the most time with William while Mike A fucks off to the oil fields or whatever and Elizabeth gets to go to Governor school (<- thing we have here in Septic Tank Land) and Vanessa basically had her entire adult life trimmed and walled off by William (<- read in MatPat voice)

princess quest Cassidy connection (she saved them of both 🥲)

Vanessa finally found the strength to disobey when presented with Mike the manlet and Abby while David finally had a strength and power with Cassidy in Golden Freddy (<- STRAW GRASPING)

If Steel Wool bite on Vanessa reclaiming Vanny it could have paralleled David in Golden Freddy because like he was terrified of Fredbear (it literally fucking killed him) but eventually used it as a vessel to get back at the world (and by extensive to Mike and William) and like she was doing that with Gregory and Freddy('s head) and David did with Cassidy (and the shitter cass wannabes THAT WILL NEVER BE HER)

Does like any of this make any sense ? 😭

nodsnods, nodsnods... i can see the vision, yeah! though i can't believe you missed the obvious parallel in hw1's spring bonnie plush and psychic friend fredbear (smh my head). it's kinda easy to forget, but it's (a mysterious, teleporting) spring who guides you through pizza party... where you literally start in the fnaf4 bedroom. just like you start in the bedroom in princess quest. ;)

(someday. i will wrap my head around fnaf4. someday.) (pq1 gif is from this post of mine. i already had to replay pizza party for this okay i am NOT adding more hours to my sb playtime)

i think vanessa gets compared to michael or elizabeth a lot (for obvious reasons), but i've personally always seen her as representative of all the afton kids combined -- elizabeth's bitter despair (and struggle between girlhood and adulthood), michael's hot-and-cold self-esteem, bv's role as the imperfect martyr, etc etc. the parts emphasised diverge depending on the path you choose, but they're all there, which is what i mean when i say that vanessa is afton's heir in the ways that matter: she's the lonely child who saw too much and the daughter who was never good enough and the one who keeps coming back. and this is how they were able to slot her into the movieverse so neatly without changing like, anything about her besides the vanny thing! you can consolidate all of the afton children into her and it fits and i think that's Neat.

also shut the fuck up there's no way governor school is real, you're shitting m--

what is WRONG with you people.

AGA Goldie and Foxy parallel to FNAF Michael Afton and Evan (C.C.) Afton (Part 2)

Now for AGA Goldie and Foxy.

Throughout the Ask Goldie Anything series, Foxy is one of the tormentors to Goldie. Sure it’s due to how Goldie would cause mischief around the pizzeria, not to mention the bite of ‘87 that he caused, there are times where he does it without reason. I mean, he literally didn’t trust Goldie just because Freddy told him not to on a piece of paper while the bear was trying to be friendly with him.

Another example is in Part 5: Party Pooper. Goldie was only trying to attend the party but Foxy insteads locked him in the backroom. This seems similar to the FNAF 4 Night 4 minigame in which Evan is seen locked in a backroom presumably by his older brother.

In Ask Goldie Anything Part 3, when Foxy was about to throw Goldie outside, he started making fun of Goldie for crying at his harsh words. That seems similar to how Michael would make fun of his own brother’s tears despite being the cause for them.

Admittedly, Goldie doesn’t really share much in common with Evan. However, as mentioned above, he was tormented by Foxy. However, in the series, Goldie is also shown to have his own plush toy version of himself. A plush toy that’s similar to the Fredbear that Evan had.

And of course, there is the bite of ‘87. While Evan’s bite happened in ‘83, the bite in AGA involves a child rather than an employee. Also, Goldie has a complicated relationship with Freddy, which could also be seen as Evan’s relationship with Michael. Also, well his world's Golden Freddy, the same one that Evan is associated with as seen by the poster view in FNAF 6 Pizza Simulation.

Once again, this is mostly a coincidental relationship, but it’s funny to think about how AGA Foxy and Goldie are almost like FNAF Michael and Evan when they were alive. Anyways, I wonder what you all think about this. Feel free to write your thoughts.

[raccoon-in-a-dumpster]

tell me ... about william.... fun facts maybe? or how he copes after getting springlocked?

ok so we all know he's lactose intolerant and has an alcohol addiction. he does cocaine sometimes. yes. yes with henry.

he has a faggoty little walk. swingin his hips around. think of the feminine or snooty walk styles in the sims 4 (just made this up)

putting cameras and shit in the fredbear plush genuinely didn't come from a bad place. he just wanted to keep an eye on his new baby boy, afterall, his wife was dealing with michael and elizabeth, why not lighten the load a little?

he's very loud and showey and eccentric. mentally ill theater kid style.

he kinda hated how he looked post-springlock (the scars weren't the problem. it was the weight loss that irked him. he could feel his bones thru his body. very uncomfortable. also he was cold 99% of the time)

FUCKASS SILVERY EYES. whiteboy stare.

he's soo materialistic he NEEDS the next big thing

VERY market savvy too. he probably bought stocks and made a good profit off of those.

he could prolly sell time to a clock honestly

BANJO PLAYER. he did it to get money with henry. good singer too :)

bunny themed EVERYTHING. bunny lamps. bunny pens. bunny telephone. bunny paintings. bunny porcelain figures. bunny plates. bunny cups. bunny.

not the artist of the duo but he can draw

he wanted ti be in the circus when he was little..

ECHOLALIA EXTRORDINARE!!!

he has a union jack outside his house hanging parallel to the american flag.

he has sooo many fun patterned suits and ties...

hyperopia boy. he has reading glasses for that.

ADHD.

he wants henry to pull his teeth out honestly.

he's bisexual. genderqueer. and nonebiney. he has no biney.

homophobic :(

he is so sad and pathetic post springlock he's in pain all the time and weaning off opiates. his hair is always greasy and he gets these bad pains (esp in his limbs, since that's where the wounds run deepest) and honestly the sprnglocks might've ruptured his appendix. cause fuck him. his skin is thin and his hair isn't as nice as it used to be. he recovers some of that but his skin always seems just a bit too pale sometimes. smile just a bit too wide for how sharp his body is. he probably would be unable to go on a modern day plane for awhile after the springlocks. metal detectors and whatnot. he broke a lot of bones. those bills. man.

HELLO MOOTS AND VARIOUS FNAF FANS!!! I PRESENT TO YOU: MY FNAF AU CONTENT!

It’s been a little while in the making, lol, but I’m happy to share with y’all my ramblings! Details under the read more.

I have two main AUs for FNAF currently, but I don’t want to make this post twice as long as it least is, so I’m just going to be going over the one I’ve made the most content for: The Golden Trio! (No, not the Harry Potter trio.)

The Golden Trio AU starts out exactly like regular FNAF, with all the FNAF lore we know and love, but diverges around 2000 in the games timeline.

Henry Emily goes back to the original Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza location, and tucked in a corner, he finds an old Fredbear springlock suit. He’s too tired that night to think straight, and knee-deep in tainted nostalgia, so he does the least sensible thing someone would do in that situation: he puts it on.

You can guess whether that goes well.

On the bright side, at least Cassidy and David (the Crying Child) have adult supervision now!

Most of this AU is just flipping between Funny Ghost Kid Shenanigans and Crushing Henry Angst. Willry is implied.

Art references below! Some of them are almost a year old— I need to update them, lol.

Cassidy! I HC them at about 11 when they died.

Dave! He possessed the Fredbear plush in this AU, which was then put into the Fredbear animatronic itself. He died at about 9 in this AU, and I’m playing around with saint/martyr symbology for him.

Henry! I must admit to being the #1 Sad Henry Enjoyer Of All Time. my sproinkle

And, of course, Fredbear himself! Henry is the only one able to control the animatronic while in machine mode. (This design is pretty old, but it’s the most comprehensive ref sheet I have for the suit.)

I’ve actually been thinking about making an askblog for this AU, so lmk if you’re interested in that! I have a lot of ideas for Trio interactions :).

The Afton Family = Funtimes theory

We know William was a terrible father. But what if. What if he saw Charlie's possession of The Puppet and decided to recreate it. What if he engineered the deaths of his children? Because in his twisted logic "if Henry's kid can do it, then so can my children"

CC and Elizabeth were his test subjects for remnant before he went for a more personal experiment.

To me William being cold and cruel to his children works. Their loss of life is tragic, but all for a greater purpose and in his arrogance he thinks he can just bring them back to life in animatronic form to live for eternity, unbroken. I mean purposefully arranging "accidents" isn't out of the realm of possibilities considering the nightmare gas.

To me his plan was to build The Funtimes modeled for and after his family. Ballora was for Mrs Afton, Circus Baby was for Elizabeth, Funtime Freddy was for The Crying Child and Funtime Foxy was for Michael. And considering William's plan in TFC was to transfer his remains into an immortal body. So it's my theory that William would've eventually had a Funtime Spring Bonnie built and had his remnant extracted and put into Funtime Spring Bonnie and live eternal with his family.

Circus Baby was made for Elizabeth and she became Circus Baby.

Mrs Afton does not exist(good job, Scott) sadly, but a lot of the fans theorize that Ballora was modeled after her and became Ballora, especially with Ballora's voice lines.

“Why do you hide inside your walls, when there is music in my halls; All I see is an empty room, no more joy, an empty tomb;

It's my theory that Mrs Afton either committed suicide, died in an accident or William killed her and then she became Ballora.

William sent Michael down Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental to die and for Michael to posses Funtime Foxy. But Elizabeth had over plans...

As for how CC can be Funtime Freddy? Well Molten MCI. Perhaps CC's soul became the dominant soul in Funtime Freddy. Also notice FF's fixation on "Birthday boy" and  because he was attached to his Fredbear plush and died in fredbear’s jaw. Funtime freddy even has a plush in his hand which can be seen as a representation of the crybaby’s attachment to his plushs and also William who was a bunny spoke through his plush and if you pay attention to Molten Freddy's voicelines "One big happy family" "Together again" I mean it's not impossible for CC to be Funtime Freddy, certainly better than not doing anything with him after FNAF 4.

William's goal in the games was to became immortal, but also to bring his family back as the Funtime Animatronics. Mrs Afton would become Ballora, Elizabeth as Baby obviously, CC as Funtime Freddy and once Michael is killed, he would become Funtime Foxy. And they would live forever as the Funtimes, eternal and killing together as a family unbroken!

Some questions about the Roleshift AU

How did William die? How did the people around him feel about his death?

Does Sammy possess the puppet? Is Charlie Shadow Bonnie/Shadow Freddy? Or do they possess different animatronics?

What is Cassidy's motivation for killing Elizabeth?

What is Jessie's motivation for killing children?

What is Elizabeth's relationship towards Baby? Is she still a big fan of her? If not, what animatronic does she like?

I'm assuming that the reason Michael is killed by Baby and not Foxy is because Baby is one that kills him in the regular timeline. But why does Michael hold a baby plush? Is he not a fan of Foxy?

Do the events of the Charlie Trilogy happen in this AU? Are they (Jessica, Carlton, Lamar, etc.) swapped with anybody?

Are the MCI swapped with anybody?

Does Jessie still smoke weed?

How is Cassidy killed by Fredbear? Is Fredbear built with child-killing features, much like Baby? If so, how did Henry not notice? If not, how did Cassidy's head make contact with Fredbear's mouth?

How does Henry feel about Jessie trying to fill in for William? Why is Jessie trying to fill in for William anyways? We know that Cassidy's mom still has custody over her son in your regular AU, so does Michael's mom have custody over her son in the Roleshift AU?

THESE ARE A LOT OF VERY GOOD QUESTIONS

1. I'm not fully sure how William died yet but tbh knowing him I wouldn't be surprised if he got into a car accident while drunk. Mr Drives-down-the-wrong-side-of-the-highway-at-200-mph

2. Everyone feels awful and sad about it, since no one had a reason to hate him yet. I think the people it hardest were Henry, Jess, and Elizabeth

3. Yes and yes! Sammy is the puppet and Charlie is shadow bonnie/freddy. Tbh I also associate Charlie with bunnies like I do Sammy so it still fits. I have some thoughts about changing the puppets design in this au to fit Sammy more though

4. Similar to Liz's motivations for killing Mike in the main timeline! He mistook her for Jess due to them looking similar, and killed her both out of desire for revenge and to try and escape (I'm not entirely sure how yet, since I have liz's death as CC biting her face off rather than her being scooped (；・∀・) maybe he just manually rips her open and digs his way inside?) I'll go more indepth into why he wants revenge when answering the later question abt him and Jess--

5. Jess knows about remnant and is trying to figure it out! She has William's old journals, and since he's known about remnant a long time, there's details in them about creating it (just not from/for humans. William spent a lot of his life experimenting on animals before main timeline Will hyped himself up enough to kill a person). It's also a great way to relieve stress (and then get More stress from the fact you have to hide the fact you killed children)

6. I think she likes Baby a lot still, it being made for her and all, but as she got into her teen years she felt the need to "grow up" and start acting like she doesn't

7. I think Mike doesn't actually like Baby very much. His plushie was a hand me down Liz basically forced on him (and-- like how fredbear plush acts to CC in my main timeline comic-- the plush follows him around even when he tries to leave it places). Liz bullying her baby brother via inducing gender dysphoria by making him carry around a girly baby doll is wild. I think he does still like Foxy though (also, I think in this au, Baby and Co are the animatronics that stick around for the public while the fazgang gets the sister location trapped underground treatment, so the foxy Mike is more familiar with would be funtime foxy!)

8. They could, but that would be a second timeline split off from the one I've been drawing so far (which is a shift of the roles in my game timeline)! I think if I were to do a roleshift for the Charlie trilogy, I'd just shift some of the roles of the friend group around! For example: Marla -> John -> Jessica -> Carlton -> Lamar -> Marla (I'm not sure this is the order I'd ACTUALLY shift things though. I have to put more thought into that).

9. Hmmm I'm not sure... I don't have a lot of character laid out for the missing kids in general (it's definitely something I should think more about, it's just hard for me to get super attached to any of them). If I do end up having the funtime animatronics fully swap places with the fazgang I'll have to think about how that works and what changes I would make to certain characters >_> (looking at ballora mostly... don't want to saddle a child with that kind of body)

10. Absolutely lmao it's a staple of her character to me. She tries harder to hide it what with the kids around though

11. I've thought about this a little and I think maayaybbeee... instead of CC getting his head bit, he crawled inside of Fredbear gregory-style and got springlocked? Maybe he knew he wasn't supposed to be alone w Fredbear, heard Jess coming, panicked, and tried hiding. I do think Fredbear was made with child killing features, but Jess made them less noticeable or found ways to explain them (which-- William actually has explanations for the child killing stuff in the funtimes in my main timeline!! He explains the voice copying as a means for fun party tricks, and the space made to hold captured kids is explained by the biddybabs and minireenas being able to crawl inside and pop out for little acts)

12. Henry feels sorry for Jess and understands why she feels the need to try and fill William's shoes, but he can't help but feel annoyed and pitied by it. She can't replace William and he doesn't want her to. Jess tries to fill William's place because she feels like she has to. I think she feels guilty for his death for whatever reason, like somehow there was this butterfly affect where he wouldn't have died if they hadn't gotten married maybe. I think it makes a little sense, since they both liked getting high and drunk and stuff together. Maybe she feels like since they enabled each other, it's partially her fault that William ended up dying. A lot of her actions stem from her missing William and feeling bad about his death

13. In the main timeline, Marina (Mike's mom) and William technically both have custody over Mike, in that if he wanted to he could choose to stay with either of them, it's just that Mike feels like he can be more of himself in hurricane than he could living with his mom and grandma so he chose to stay there. I think this carries over to the roleshift au. Marina and William's mom both keep in touch with Jess and I imagine Marina has offered to take Mike home after William's death but Jess feels responsible for him so she's like "noo it's okay I love having Mike around and anyway his friends are all here I think moving him back to the UK would just make him upsetttt" and Marinas like "sick awesome yay" (marina and main-timeline-Jess are in the absent mothers club together). I think in the roleshift timeline Clara (CC's mom) still has shared custody of him. She was very very angry when Jess "lost" him

Thank you for all your questions!! And anyone can feel free to share their thoughts for things that are currently less defined!!!

[corpseybun-old]

Ight Mikevictim au is a go. Thanks to @ars3n1ck (lmk if you dont want me pinging you in the future) for giving me the confidence to actually post this lmao

It's June 21th, 1983, and 8 year old Michael Afton has only 5 days until his amazing epic birthday party at Fredbear's Family Diner. His father has been setting up his party, so he's been incredibly busy. Michael's brother uses this as an opportunity to bully the absolute shit out of him, and it culminates with him shoving his younger brother into Fredbear's mouth during his party and nearly killing him.

The poor birthday boy is rushed to the hospital immediately. Ambulances take him, his brother, and William to the hospital. William doesn't even acknowledge that his older child is in the room with him even after they get to the hospital. He's way too focused on Michael to care.

Michael's been in a coma since the bite, and it takes months of him being watched by medical staff (and William) until he finally wakes up.

He isn't immediately allowed home, he still has lots of recovery to do. He's finally dispatched from the hospital on March 12th, 1984, and he notices a distinct lack of his older brother when he and William arrive home. William brushes it off, explains that he went to summer camp. Michael realizes as soon as he realizes what day/year it actually is that it isn't even summer yet, he tries to question William more but can't get the words out right. He ends up crying because honestly dude who wouldn't he was in a coma for 9 months and now everything is wrong💀 Entire ass family member just missing when he gets back yeah man I'd be sobbing too.

I honestly don't have it as fleshed out from there. Foxybro is living alone, he got kicked out by William sometime during Mike's coma, and I like to think he tries desperately to get custody of his little brother the second he turns 18. He does not want him around William anymore after he realizes what he did😭😭

MCI happens a couple months after Mike gets home, it happens on his birthday bc I love giving him trauma and also bc I like to think William saw those masked bully kids (minus Foxybro) when working his shift at the diner and something in him just snapped.

William doesn't end up killing any of the bullies, he can't take on multiple teenagers, so instead he ends up killing some random kid after they get conveniently locked outside when Will's on his smoke break. I can't decide if this is Charlie or not, but either way, they go on to possess the puppet.

This is William's first taste of killing, and oh my god, does he go crazy stupid from the adrenaline rush. Ends up leading a kid to their death that same night after he gets back in the Spring Bonnie suit. Stuffs 'em in Chica.

I don't have the dates for the other 3 missing kids planned out yet, but William pulls the same Spring Bonnie saferoom lure trick on them, too.

Eventually Foxybro finds out what happened and puts everything together bc he knows his dad only let's himself wear Spring Bonnie. This is when he actually starts trying to get custody of Mike. God forbid his own little brother ends up being the next missing kid.

3 dead kids later and he manages to get temporary custody of him because William gets jailed. Just as the two of them are settling into things William gets released because of a lack of evidence.

Skip forward idk how long and William's taking Michael out of Hurricane. He already was so close to being found out, it doesn't help that Foxybro actually knows he did it, so one night he tells Mike to grab his stuff and they flee the town right then and there. They're on the road for a while. They bounce from place to place and don't stay in one area for too long (mainly bc William can't help himself and eventually kills someone in like every place they stop at💀). Michael only really had time to bring one of his plush friends, so he brings his Fredbear plush (I call it Friendbear so I don't confuse it with the actual robot lmfao) with him. William puts a walkie-talkie in it so he can spy on his son when he's away killing people ,and* so he can talk to him while he's away. Mike doesn't know it's his dad. He just thinks it's Friendbear talking more than usual.

Then I really don't have it planned out from there, like at all in the slightest. But yeah, that's uh 'bout it so far.

Also, yeah, I don't have a name for Foxybro if it wasn't painfully obvious enough lmfao. Might stick the whole "no one knows this kids name" thing that cannon bite victim has going on with him orrrrrr I might cook up a fitting name later. I don't have names for the missing kids either, tbh and I have no idea how to fit any of the games other than 4 into this properly, lol. Maybe Foxybro works at places? Would definitely not be using the Mike Schmidt name, though lmfao I'm not pulling a Scott here, no double names💀 Maybe he's taking all the minimum wage night jobs so he can save up for court fees? I have no idea how Sister Location would fit into this. Also ngl I'm very tempted to say William doesn't even own Fredbears or any Freddy's joint for that matter in the au because the idea of the killer just being some guy scares me personally way more then "ohhhh evil owner uses his business to kill kids ahh", lol. Might not even keep any of the Afton family's names, honestly, because this au started way, way, way before Will himself even had a name, and I know I had some stupid ass name made up for the killer so I could just reuse that.

[daandyli0n]

alright besties, prepare yourselves.

it's time for:

Why I Personally Believe That The MCI + Charlie's Death Happened PRE-1983

(tl;dr - there's things from Fnaf 4 that have been haunting me for years, i don't really like the books (for several reasons), and i actually think it would make MORE sense if the MCI + Charlie were the first deaths)

alright. let me lay out things in order here:

Number 1: "But...we already have a death year, it's 1985!"

okay...let me put this as simply as i can:

first off, The Novels: these are the books where Charlie's a robot. along with other weird shit.

second, Into The Pit: not only is the Incident described completely differently, it's. The Fazbear Frights books. there's a lot of shit in there that, while some of it may connect to the games, i'd personally argue that most of it doesn't. Need I Point To Fazgoo?

also: the books and games are supposed to be separate universes to my knowledge. while events and things may line up, not everything is gonna be exactly the same.

ALSO ALSO: in the movies, the year is 1987. the death year is 1987. if that's not some evidence for the MCI year potentially being inconsistent by universe, then i don't know what is. Why Would They Make The Movie's MCI Year Different When They Could've Confirmed It?

Number 2: The Weirdness Of The Fredbear Plush

before i hear anyone say "But It's William Speaking Through A Walkie-Talkie!" please just listen to me on this

while i do agree that this has a lot of evidence behind it...there are still things that William speaking through the plushie just...doesn't really explain. to me, anyway.

for example...why does it seem to teleport? specifically stuff like it Being A Flower and suddenly ending up in the sewers.

also...this thing seems to know more about CC than i think William would like. logically be able to know, even if he was using the plush to spy on him. plus...we SEE William in the Fnaf 4 minigames...helping someone into a suit. we see nothing like a walkie-talkie with him, and if he were trying to keep an eye on CC...why aren't we shown that? he seems more concerned with helping another employee than keeping an eye on his son. also, if William's trying to keep CC away from animatronics to keep him safe, as is the common belief with this theory...why would he tell his son to go run past the animatronics to find help? especially if he's, y'know....RIGHT THERE??

also...you know what CC's running away from? someone in a springlock suit. and whoever is talking to him specifically says something along the lines of "You know what will happen if he catches you!" which....why would William say that? why would William imply that something bad's gonna happen to CC if CC gets caught by that guy? when, for all we know (and is most likely), he's just doing his job?

unless, of course...whoever is talking to CC was "caught" by someone in a springlock suit and then hurt/killed afterwards, and they're trying to make sure that the same fate doesn't befall him, too.

i also saw a guy mention this in a theory, but...we also don't see the plushie in this scene at all. which could also imply that it's not a walkie-talkie or anything, but maybe a spirit.

also, the final cutscene of Fnaf 4: one thing that never made sense to me was the "WE are still your friends" comment. if this is William...for one thing, if it WAS William the whole time...he's also been telling his son this whole time that his older brother, Michael, hates him. if the 'We' he's referring to is him and Michael...then we already have a problem. but the 'We' he's referring to also can't be CC's other plushies; William can't see into CC's mind, and thus can't know what's going in CC's last moments. he doesn't know that CC is watching his plushies fade into darkness, how could he?

so...who do i think is speaking through the plush? long story short; whoever the Golden Freddy/Fredbear MCI kid is.

heck, if you wanna argue that the SLIGHTLY different text colors for Fredbear in the final cutscene mean that someone else is talking, i can still explain it! that's Charlie. think about it, it would still make sense if it were her! she's the one who 'gave life' to the other kids, and that's effectively what the speaker in that cutscene is promising CC.

also, if the plushies represent the other MCI kids, as this theory implies...this means that CC probably knew them all before they died. making his comment about his plushies, "These are my friends," that much more depressing.

this also gives a potential explanation for "What [CC] saw"...but we'll get there in a bit.

Number 3: The Pigtail Girl Dialogue's Been Haunting Me

let me start out with what the Pigtail Girl Dialogue is, for those unaware:

"You'd better watch out! I hear they come to life at night. And if you die, they hide your body and never tell anyone. Why do you look so worried? See you at the party! Ha ha ha!" (< you'll understand what the bolded part is for later, trust me)

i've seen a couple of different explanations for this:

one is that she's referring to springlock suits, specifically that the kids saw people being helped into the suits and that this is where the rumors started.

another is that she's referring to a springlock failure, and that the "hiding bodies" part is referring to the company covering it up.

but here's the thing...neither of these would explain how the "come to life at night" part of the rumor started. because these would've likely been things witnessed during the day.

like, i've seen no one bring up this whole thing at all. there's not a lot of explanations i've seen that explain what PG could be referencing with this that are more satisfying than her referencing the animatronics moving around and killing guards post-MCI. like?? why do people not talk about this??

Number 4: "But isn't Afton's motive-?" SHUT.

FIRST OFF, WE DON'T TECHNICALLY KNOW WHAT AFTON'S ACTUAL MOTIVE IS. WE'VE HAD TO GUESS WHAT IT IS.

like!! in the Novels, i don't think it's fully explained what Afton's motive for Charlie's murder was. maybe it was, but i've never heard it.

in the games, we're not even given too much indication of a potential motive for Afton. we just have to guess it was the Bite of '83, and it was either his grief or desire to bring his son from the dead that motivated him (at least at first).

i've only really seen it recently where theorists seem to finally be bringing up that perhaps William was just...always fucked up. maybe he never needed a reason, he just did it because he could.

heck, some people have headcanoned that William was just drunk and pissed off the night that Charlie died, and i've seen it range from William accidentally hit her while drunk driving and that's what killed her, to William just being in a drunken rage that night and he just. killed her, maybe before he even realized what he'd done. maybe he was pissed at Henry, who the fuck knows.

long story short, no, we technically don't have a clear motive for William.

Number 5: "But how could Fredbear's still be open? Wouldn't the suits still be in use? How did no one find the body?"

okay, hear me out:

William Moved The Body Somewhere Else.

like...we've got implications that the GF MCI kid might've been springlocked and killed (Fredbear's twitching in UCN is...incredibly similar to Springtrap's twitching in Fnaf 3. both in the trailer and in the minigame where he gets springlocked).

so it's a possibility that William springlocked the kid and then dumped the body somewhere else.

other thing that points to this: the empty suit that either seems to have wires or hair sticking out. i think Dual Process Theory pointed out that if these were wires, then we would've also seen them on the Springbonnie suit that William was helping the employees into. so of course, that then points those things sticking out being hairs.

also, the Fredbear MCI kid's death always seems to be implied to be different somehow. in the "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame, the fifth kid isn't seen until the end, where they teleport in from seemingly nowhere. it's almost like, for some reason, the fifth kid wasn't there with the other kids at Freddy's, and they had died somewhere else, but were connected to the MCI anyway due to the similarities in their case.

Number 6: "But the Faz-Tokens-" S H U T.

i actually have another way to explain why the tokens would say 1983! and this is actually an idea i got from a friend of mine when we talked about it irl.

the idea is that Freddy's didn't necessarily open in 1983, but that 1983 is when the company specifically was founded.

my friend said that it could've been a thing where Freddy's didn't have their own personal tokens for the arcade at the time, but once they got enough money and Fazbear Entertainment as a company was created in 1983, then they could make these little custom tokens.

so long story short: the tokens have another potential explanation.

Number 7: Other Reasons For This Version Of The Timeline To Make Sense

the MCI is always described as taking place "many years ago," or treated like it's been quite a while since they happened. even in Fnaf 2, Phone Guy just says says that they left the "old place" to rot for "quite a while," but...that's still vague. why not make it more specific in the games? why not put dates on the newspapers?

i am of the opinion that the newspaper articles we see in Fnaf 1 are all close in date, considering that the first two mention the MCI and the third mentions the blood and mucus...but i think that the fourth newspaper article was printed later than the others. specifically, that one was written when the original location closed in 1985. why do i think this? because the final newspaper refers to the MCI as taking place "many years ago." but why would it not be about the closure of the Fnaf 1 location? well, a couple of reasons:

for one, the newspaper immediately before it references the whole "blood and mucus" thing. normally, i'd think that this was just the kids doing paranormal stuff to get someone to find/discover their bodies...but it also mentions mucus. blood by itself is one thing, that can be written off as something paranormal. blood and mucus implies that this is from where the bodies were starting to decay a little bit. at the time when Fnaf 1 was taking place, the blood would've dried a long time ago, and likely any mucus, too. and we see nothing like Paranormal Blood-Leakage in Fnaf 1, so i'm taking this as a sign that this newspaper was written around the time of the initial incident.

another thing is that if the other three articles are all about the MCI at around the time it happened...wouldn't it be odd for there to just be an article amongst them that's much closer to present time than the others?

so yeah, long story short: the MCI happening pre-1983 even fits with how the Incident is described in canon as being "many years ago."

Finally, All Together Now:

here's the timeline with this thing -

at some point, pre-1983 (perhaps a year or two before), William was driving home from a bar, incredibly drunk. for reasons that aren't entirely clear, Charlie is locked outside of either of Freddy's or Fredbear's, depending on where you think the Puppet was at the time. William kills Charlie while he's drunk, either by accidentally hitting her/running her over, or by getting out and killing her. she is left/dumped in the alley afterwards and then goes on to possess the Puppet, who crawled outside to find her.

after this, for unclear reasons, William kills again, first killing four children at Freddy's (potentially unbeknownst to him, friends of his youngest son), before killing a fifth at Fredbear's by springlocking them.

however, his youngest son ended up witnessing this murder, and it traumatized him (maybe William had been in the suit, and that's why CC only seems traumatized by the animatronics specifically. he not only witnessed one of his friends getting springlocked, but he saw another animatronic responsible for the murder) (< yes, this is the thing i was implying earlier)

^ whether William was aware of this is up to you.

William disposes of the body so that nobody who used the suit would find them.

however, the fifth MCI kid would not just haunt the suit like the others. they possessed the Fredbear plush to communicate with their friend and keep him safe...hopefully.

fast forward to the Fnaf 4 minigames: Michael bullies his brother, and CC is faced with constant reminders of the loss of his friends, with rumors spreading about the animatronics at Freddy's coming to life at night and killing guards, only for the deaths to be covered up by the company. all the while, the spirit of one of his friends watches over him.

then Michael fucks up, leaving CC in the hospital.

in his coma, either the spirit of the Fredbear MCI kid or Charlie come to him, promising to help him. as Michael tearfully apologizes to his dying brother, CC is comforted by being told that his friends still care for him, that they're still there. and the spirit talking to him promises to put him back together. in the only way they know how to.

he flatlines, but goes on to possess Fredbear with the MCI kid.

anyway, that's just my thoughts on Pre-1983 MCI, at least in the canon games. this ain't about my Rewrite.

( @that-darn-clown and @hello-there-world incase either of y'all want to see this :] )

MAD QUEEN

- A Five Nights at Freddy’s Elseworld -

————————————————————

The incident that should have killed Elizabeth Afton in 1980 when she was 8 only crippled her left arm beyond repair. She lived, and eventually grew up to inherit her father’s company, Afton Robotics Inc., and continue his monstrous legacy.

With her father, now Springtrap, she searches for the spirit of her little brother Evan to bring him home, but her twin brother Michael refuses to let that happen.

————————————————————

Some things canon to this Elseworld:

Michael and Elizabeth (Lizzy) are twins in this AU. She initially dies in 1980 at 8 years old, and Michael is 10-ish in 1983, when Evan dies. (Recycled idea from Freddy & Friends, my main FNAF AU)

It’s partially inspired by the old theory that Elizabeth was speaking through the Fredbear plush to Evan in the FNAF 4 ending, promising “I will put you back together.” Because of this, it is Lizzy’s goal to fulfill her’s and her father’s desires and bring Evan back from the dead.

William trains her to be the next head of Afton Robotics, and she continued his legacy after he was spring-locked. They concluded their experiments and completed his new body years ago, and now they’re on the search for his spirit, nowhere to be found. He’s hiding from them.

On this note, Android Theory is partially canon here, but not in its entirety. They’ve built an android body for Evan so that they can “revive” him, but they need his soul to do so. So no, there is no android Evan running around.

She never kills anyone directly, but I imagine she either reopens Circus Baby’s Pizza World or creates the Twisted ones for experimentation (or both). One thing’s for sure: she’s just as psychotic as her father. That’s why Evan doesn’t want to be found. He knows they’re monsters.

GoldenDuo is for sure canon to this, but in a different way. Instead of the two spirits inhabiting Golden Freddy, Evan isn’t tethered to any specific character (not even Shadow Freddy). However, Evan tends to cling to Cassidy because she’s his friend, and Cassidy protects him from the rest of his family, including Michael (though she still has an ego that only a child can have).

Michael has a… complicated relationship with his family. William and Lizzy are convinced that he hates them, just like he hated Evan, but they never saw—they refused to see—that he loved Evan as much as anyone else in that family. He wants to love them too, but they won’t let him. They hate him.

Michael does NOT get scooped in this AU. Because Elizabeth is still alive, there is no reason for Michael to be sent to Sister Location.

Elizabeth doesn’t hate Circus Baby for what happened because she knows it was an accident. It was supposed to be anyone else, and she was unlucky enough to be the one kid that was alone. Michael has some distaste from her not seeing it the same way with him.

Evan used to hate Michael, but Charlie (The Puppet) eventually helped him realize that Michael was a good person, and wanted to help Evan more than anything in the world. So Evan revealed himself to Michael, and they both worked together to put an end to his father’s sick game.

Lastly, this is NOT canon to Freddy & Friends (my main FNAF AU). This is a sort of “what if” on the OG FNAF timeline, with a few of my own takes in there (with the help of a friend). If you wanna do something with this—make fan art, fanfics, animations—go right on ahead. This was just me writing these ideas down and seeing how they flow.

Be sure to give credit if you do anything with it, though.

Canon Event - The Night of the Fire:

March 16, 2007, Michael sets fire to an Afton Robotics warehouse where Springtrap and Evan’s new body are being kept, but not without interference from Elizabeth. She almost kills him, holding him at gunpoint, but she realizes that she has some semblance of a heart after all. They both escape the burning building together.

Michael and Elizabeth have a heart to heart outside as they watch the building burn: Elizabeth learns that Michael never hated them. He’s always loved them, and wanted nothing more than to be her brother, but they refused him; it was easier to believe that he meant to kill Evan than to believe it was an accident. Learning this, Elizabeth’s view of Michael shifted into something kinder.

Springtrap (who escaped the fire before it got bad) meets them back there. Michael tells them both that Evan doesn’t want to be found. He saw what their father did, and was horrified. Evan sees them as monsters. Elizabeth realizes that it’s true, but Springtrap starts laughing with pure joy, now that he knows that Golden Freddy was the only suit in the room when he did what he did. He now knows how to find Evan now but, Elizabeth finally realizes how much of a monster her father is.

William doesn’t actually care about what Evan wants, and he never did. He only cared about how Evan made him feel—Evan was his favorite child, and he only gave the twins attention when they were useful. William only cares about himself, and it’s only now that Elizabeth sees that. All she ever was to him was a tool to help him get what he wants.

Elizabeth on the other hand DOES care about Evan. He was her brother, and she loved playing with him. He was the light of the family, and the twins knew that better than anyone. Her whole plan for him hinged on him never having to learn what she and her father did to bring him back, but he knew the whole time. She was heartbroken, ashamed of what she had done—what she became in order to please her father.

Springtrap and Michael start fighting, just like they used to. But this time, it’s the last straw. Elizabeth tries to stop him, but Springtrap backhands her across the cheek, and he throws Michael back into the fire as the building explodes, forcing Elizabeth to watch her brother scream in pain as the fire begins to consume him. Filled with rage, she punches Springtrap in the face, shattering the prosthetic arm that he made for her. Springtrap abandons her, coming to realize that he no longer needs her.

Michael would have been dead if Evan didn’t convince Cassidy to save him. Michael had severe third degree burns across most of his body, but he survived. Afterwards, Mike is treated by a nurse friend of Elizabeth’s (gay?) in her home because Michael hates hospitals (they bring back bad memories).

Michael and Elizabeth now work together to bring their father down once and for all, helping the other spirits find their happiest day.
