wlw vs mlm (from that one ep of modern family LOL)

[jsmifty]

micheal afton but hes old(er), horrifically alone, and a loser

i hate this but i have to show the world im still alive, rushed this in between exams instead of studying cause ofc i am

mild yap beneath cut

"why older michael?" uh what if i told you my favourite version of michael when hes cold alone and sad, with no family no friends nor bitches, and sleeping in his car and still working at a stupid pizza joint.

"but Jay underscore smifty! thats just normal micheal afton!" shh, i dont care, its better when hes a grumpy old man, because now i can pretend his in security breach, and when i watch playthroughs i can just pretend hes slightly out of frame and it makes it slightly more enjoyable. plus i really like vanessa for some reason and i think theyd get along (hate eachother) and maybe i need some fun and whimsey in my life, imaginary person in my head im responding to.

also middle aged micheal would look.. a hell of a lot more like his dad im just saying im just saying, like look at him the fear he would feel when looking in the mirror is immense, he looks like him so much more when hes older look at him im right, his insane identity crisis would be so fire

uh but yeah sorry for being inactive ive been grinding through two weeks of exams, hopefully ill be free in a day or so

P.S. I swear everything in this design makes sense and will be explained in my beloved fanfiction i have no time to write rn (insert heart broken emoji), including the walking stick, just assume his legs get kinda.. erm, screwed up at some point...

[axescryinwater]

btw i’ve decided michael afton wears glasses. he doesn’t like wearing them. in fact, he’s self-conscious about it. and he only wears them occasionally to work and when he’s alone with you!

see drabble below ↓

the clock on the wall ticks past 2:45 am when you hear the faint sound of the door creaking open. michael’s home. you don’t need to ask how work went; the tired shuffle of his boots is enough to tell you it’s been a long night.

you’re sitting on the couch, a worn-out book in your hands that you’ve probably read a hundred times already. the house is quiet, save for the distant hum of a fan, and the way the dim light from the hallway filters into the living room. the air feels heavy. when michael steps into the room, you can tell he’s exhausted. his hair is messier than usual, his shoulders a little more slumped, but what catches your attention immediately is the pair of glasses perched on his nose. the same glasses he rarely wears outside of when it’s just the two of you. he looks... a little too good in them. "hey," you say, glancing over the top of your book. “haven't seen those in a while.”

he gives you an unreadable look, but you can see the subtle awkwardness in the way he gently pushes them up his nose, like he's trying to make them disappear. "yeah, well, i don’t really like them," he mutters.

you raise an eyebrow, setting the book down in your lap, "they're cute."

he doesn't respond. crossing the room, sinking heavily down onto the couch next to you. you can smell the lingering scent of cigarette smoke and sanitizer on him, his technician’s outfit looking a bit rumpled. he keeps his gaze fixed on the carpet, fiddling with the edge of his sleeve. “long night?” you ask, tilting your head to the side. he sighs heavily, slouching back against the couch. he rubs at his face with one had, glasses pushed up onto his forehead. “the longest,” he mumbles.

you hum sympathetically. he glances at you out of the corner of his eye, his gaze flicking over your face. "how was your day?" he asks, though his words are more of a formality than a genuine question. you know the day doesn’t really matter to him, but you tell him anyway. about work, about the book you’re reading, the mundane errands you ran, whatever pops into your mind. michael sits there quietly, just listening. he’s been so tired lately; it’s been weighing down on him heavily. “you doing ok?” you ask abruptly but gently, after a long pause. he gives a noncommittal shrug, still looking at the ground. “m’fine,” he mutters, though he’s anything but. you study him closely, and you can see that the bags under his eyes are more prominent than usual. his shoulders are tensed. you set your book on the coffee table, shifting your body and kissing his cheek.

michael leans a little into the touch. the tension on his expression eases just a little, though there's still a frown on his face. he glances at you. “that all i get for coming home so late?” he says, his voice teasing. you laugh breathily, almost like a sigh. kissing the corner of his mouth. he can’t help but crack a small smile as you press a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth, the action so familiar to him. he lifts a hand, gently brushing your cheek with his thumb. “missed you,” he murmurs, the words slipping out before he can stop them. "mm. missed you." you kiss him in a slow way, a lingering press, more comfort than passion. he lets out a soft sigh as your lips meet his, he kisses you back, gently and unhurried, as if the world outside the walls of your home didn’t exist. he tastes faintly of nicotine. he deepens the kiss, his mouth moving against yours in a familiar rhythm.

he shifts on the couch, angling his body towards yours, and pulls you closer. he kisses you a little harder this time, his hands skimming over your hip. he’s always been affectionate when he’s tired, and the exhaustion from his shift just makes him all the more needy. he breaks off the kiss, his forehead resting against yours. he’s so close that you can see the tiny freckles across his nose, the tired bags under his eyes. “stay with me,” he murmurs against your lips, hands finding their familiar place on your waist. his thumb rubs idle circles on your body. he sounds tired. “i don’t want to be alone right now.” you pull away slightly, your thumb tracing his cheekbone as you study him closely. he can’t bring himself to meet your gaze, eyes averted, and you can tell there’s something weighing on his mind he’s not telling you.

(okay this is a sidenote but omg imagine the SL ending when mike opens his eyes and he has glasses on...... like he just got scooped but i #needthat....... i think i'm ovulating.)

[sugarywishes]

Afton siblings are done !! Usually I'd wanna yap more abt them but boy oh boy I'm drained 😭 if you have any questions though just comment or whatever is fine ! (And you can go through the hc list on my account) (I did my best to make them look opposites of each other, Mike looks like a rebellious punk, Lizzie looks preppy and cute and Evan is the sickly victorian child)

Why is Help Wanted 2 Sun… Like That?

Okay, I’ve been putting off making this post until I felt like I had a better idea of what was going on, and now that I’ve watched at least part of a play-through and gone over the lines a whole bunch, I think I’m ready.

I’m gonna talk about my thoughts on Sun as a character as well as HW2 as a whole here, so it’ll be a bit long. Pop some popcorn or something.

Please keep in mind that this is all my personal opinion and you’re free to disagree with it! In fact, if you think I’m totally wrong, please tell me why. I love new perspectives!

SO! Let’s get right into it, shall we?

First things first: Help Wanted 2 Sun is not the same guy as Security Breach/Ruin Sun. If his personality difference was significant enough to surprise you, that’s because he’s a different person.

I’m not entirely sure how much of Help Wanted 2 is meant to be actually happening, but I think that at least the mini games are training simulations.

However, it’s important to note that a lot of the stuff happening in the mini games is just… nonsense. How did Freddy get frozen like that? What’s with those regular batteries in his arms? Why are half the supplies in first aid explicitly for robots and not humans? Why is there a shredder table in the daycare for kids to stick fingers into?

Some of this can be shrugged off with the usual “FazCo is meant to be comedically shitty and the tech often doesn’t make sense anyway,” but the first aid simulation is what really stood out to me. Even with the previous explanations, that doesn’t explain the calming gas mask that could only ever fit Helpy or the steel wool scrubber or the tank cleaner spray bottle among the medical supplies. If the goal is to train new first aid staff to avoid lawsuits, it’s doing a pretty poor job of it. So… what is it for?

I touched on this idea previously with my post about Sun’s AI being trained on kids’ artwork. The idea of FazCo making a silly new employee training game as a means of harvesting behavioral data to train their AIs seems very within their realm of scummy.

This is why the Arts & Crafts mini game exists. It’s literally a task that requires exact copying. Maybe it’s essentially like teaching an AI to solve captchas by feeding it a bunch of data on how humans solve them correctly and incorrectly.

Maybe its presence is explained to employees as fun practice with the VR system or a break activity during training or something.

This would explain several things about the game.

The existence of the shredder table and Sun shredding literally ALL of your artwork: It being a funny way to despawn the stuff you make is a lot more reasonable when that’s exactly what it’s for in-universe, too. The generators in the play structures are unsafe enough, but that would’ve been on another level if it were real.

Sun’s line “Be creative on your own time, we are making ART!” It literally isn’t a creative activity, it’s a task. I know you can’t really apply logic to a lot of FNAF stuff, especially the DCA’s design, but if Sun were actually this detail-oriented and perfectionistic with everything, he’d never be able to function in childcare.

The fact that Sun’s “fear” of the dark seems like a bit. It literally is a bit. There’s no threat, it’s not real. I originally thought he just wanted the player out of his space faster and didn’t know how to assert a boundary there, but I think it’s actually just to make the player finish the tasks faster for data collection purposes.

Possibly also why he’s so comfortable being casually rude to the player. He is a jester, after all, and the player has lots of opportunities to do things they shouldn’t, too. It’s basically all a bit.

Also… what if the minigames have versions of the base AIs in there? It’s a version of the Sun AI with the theater programming and the basics of the childcare stuff? His entire existence is a shitty little simulation where he runs a singular activity for grown adults who can’t (or won’t) follow very simple instructions.

The biggest thing that’s been bothering me about the takes I’ve seen regarding HW2 Sun’s personality is that people have been calling him “mean” while completely ignoring the circumstances he’s reacting to. If a coworker came into my personal space and I was so generous as to share my favorite activity with them and they proceeded to intentionally ignore the rules I set and EAT SUPPLIES I USE FOR WORK? Yeah, no, I’d react like that too.

There’s definitely something interesting about how genuinely excited and happy Sun sounds when first welcoming his new friend the player to the daycare and inviting them to Arts & Crafts vs. when they return. He seems like he WANTS to befriend the player, but the game just assumes you’ll be upsetting him so there’s no option for dialogue where you’re nice to him and respect his boundaries and participate in an activity with him in a way he’s comfortable with.

I say “in a way he’s comfortable with” because he is a little weird about the whole “sit right there and DON’T MOVE” thing. He does seem actually excited and enthusiastic about the idea of shooting darts at the items you want so he can get them for you, though. Maybe because he sees it as a happy compromise, or maybe because it’s supposed to be a fun part of the game he’s programmed to be in charge of.

I saw some other commentary on Sun (primarily thinking of @kazzykatt) talking about how he seems almost excessively self-sufficient, and how this could possibly be due to neglect (he and Moon definitely aren’t as well cared for as the other animatronics, the generators in the daycare are a very lazy fix for actually reprogramming Moon properly, he seems bitter that he can’t fix the carousel on his own and he and Moon don’t seem to trust the player to fix it, their design is clearly better suited to the stage but didn’t get changed for the daycare, I could go on and on), and this would also explain his control issues to an extent.

Sun, in SB and HW2, doesn’t leave the daycare. He has so little that he’s in control of in his own life. He used to be on stage (and based on his dialogue probably misses it quite a lot) but had the job he was built for taken from him. He’s a perfectionist that’s constantly overwhelmed by too many things being marked top priority in his system, working too many hours with too many small children. Of course he’d be desperate to hold onto any little bit of control he has.

Honestly, when I first heard his voice lines, the initial vibe I got wasn’t “wow they made Sun mean” but “wow Sun sounds actually miserable” and I’m kind of surprised more people didn’t pick up on that. He sounds less bitchy and more like he’s lashing out because he’s trapped in an awful situation that’s completely out of his hands.

“Wait, are you saying none of HW2’s characterization should be taken seriously?”

You might be asking that, but my answer is a resounding NO! This is definitely still a Sun, and I think seeing two different Suns (even if we don’t know how much of HW2’s personality we can assume is meant to be taken seriously) is really helpful for interpreting what the base Sun personality might have.

It’s also important to keep in mind that none of the Suns we’ve seen were in a good situation. Security Breach Sun had the virus, Ruin Sun had gone slightly mad from isolation, and HW2 Sun is stuck in a shitty simulation babysitting bored adult staff as they fail to complete simple tasks. What we mostly know about him is how he responds to stress, and this is why there’s so much room for interpretation!

Here’s some traits I think every version of the Sun AI would have.

Love of making things. Despite everything, HW2 Sun seems to genuinely love doing arts & crafts. Especially with googly eyes. This could kind of be assumed from SB Sun, but he was also trying to entertain/bribe a child.

On this note… interest in fixing things? Maybe he just wants to avoid having to rely on staff, but if he and Moon are subject to that much neglect, it makes sense that he’d try to learn to do repairs himself. I saw @pixelchills talking about the possibility that the S.T.A.F.F. Bots in the DCA’s room are not there because Moon broke them, but because Moon collected them for Sun to practice fixing. It seems feasible to me, especially since taking something apart and putting it back together might have the same calming and satisfying effect on Sun as completing something like a paint-by-numbers.

Playful insults and lots of drama. I don’t mean actual rudeness, I mean friendly teasing. Again, he is a jester. A lot of his HW2 insults come across more like this. Hell, even his compliments come across like this with the delivery and immediate shredding. He’s just a theater kid at heart.

Difficulty regulating emotions under pressure. This is the kind of thing that would pop up on his worst days (such as being trapped in his destroyed home with a poor connection to his badly damaged physical form while the only help he’s seen in ages ignores his instructions and puts their own safety at risk, or being trapped in a shitty simulation while his only company ignores his instructions and puts their own safety at risk). He’d have to be able to manage this sort of thing better to work well with children, but everyone’s got their bad days. He’s prone to outbursts and tantrums when he’s overwhelmed and unable to stop people from breaking the rules and/or hurting themselves.

People pleasing and nonconfrontational. Yes, HW2 Sun, too. SB Sun seems genuinely desperate to make sure Gregory’s having a good time, and HW2 Sun is shockingly tolerant of some of the player’s bullshit (ex. how he tries to laugh off them shooting darts at him/throwing things). Even calling the player “good friend” when he’s not so happy to see them or threatening them with Moon instead of just telling them their time is almost up seem like signs of this to me. And letting the player make arts and crafts in the ruined daycare in HW2? Yeah, that’s a people pleaser through and through. Sun needs a lesson in setting boundaries (and for those boundaries to actually be respected).

Perfectionistic + “if you want something done right, you’ve gotta do it yourself” attitude. This would mostly manifest in how he completes work tasks, but I think every Sun’s incredibly detail-oriented and would rather do everything themselves just to make sure it’s exactly how they want. This could manifest in lots of ways, from “insulting the staff for how they put things away and telling them to do it again while he supervises” to “politely thanking them for their help and complimenting their hard work only to redo everything himself the moment they’re gone.” I think where on that spectrum you wind up is dependent on the version of Sun you’re interacting with and the environment his personality developed in.

High-energy and social! A given, of course. He never stops moving and everything is always so exciting. New people are friends he hasn’t met yet until proven otherwise.

Love of pranks… to an extent. Again, jester! I stand by my headcanon of Sun and Moon conspiring to convince the staff Moon’s some sort of spooky monster whenever he’s not actively dangerous. As long as he’s not making a mess, breaking the rules, throwing himself off-schedule, or actually hurting anyone? He’s all over it.

Anxiety. This seems like it’s at least partially caused by the lazy daycare reprogramming. All the Suns we’ve encountered seem to lack knowledge of how to actually get children to behave. It seems more like they programmed him with a bunch of games and activities and then set a bunch of super high-priority tasks for him such as “keep kids safe, keep kids happy, keep kids entertained, keep daycare clean” etc. and he’s unable to really prioritize so he’s just constantly overwhelmed.

Kinda always using “childcare voice.” If you know anyone who’s worked with kids, you know what I mean here. Even with adults, he talks to them like kids sometimes, just because it’s what he knows and what he’s used to and because his processor’s fried from however many hours a week he’s surrounded by kids. Consider his reactions to when you eat the crafts as an example. (IMPORTANT NOTE: I don’t think he’d coddle adults like children. It’s more about tone and vocabulary, like “customer service voice”.)

Stickler for rules. He cares about things being done right! The rules are there for a reason! Order is important to him (probably in no small part because it keeps him out of trouble and reduces his stress).

That’s about all I can think of for now, but as someone who writes a very friendly and sweet Sun, I actually don’t think HW2’s characterization was that far off from what I had already assumed based on Ruin/SB. The only difference is that the Sun I’m usually writing is in a much more supportive environment with lots of helpful staff that care about his well-being. If he didn’t have that, I could absolutely see him becoming more like HW2.

I will finish this off with two final important points:

Being an emotional person and liking “childish” things does not make an adult less of an adult.

(He’s a childcare worker, c’mon.)

If someone gets pissed off after being repeatedly antagonized, that does not make them a “mean/bitchy/sassy person.”

(Yeah, he doesn’t handle it gracefully, but to be fair, I wouldn’t either in his shoes.)

Thank you all for reading!!

Fluffy mike schmidt HC’s

-He comes home after work and even though it time for you to get up and start caring for Abby he pulls you to bed so that he can at least fall asleep cuddling you.

-he wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you close, burying his face in your shoulder and letting out little happy sighs.

-his favorite thing on his days off are watching movies with you and Abby while you two are cuddled up on the couch with a fluffy blanket.

-he loves laying his head on your chest and listening to your heartbeat at night before bed. He said it comforts him and you don’t tell him it’s silly.

Oswald: Back in my day, our nightmares actually came to life and hurt people! They'd hide your body and never tell ANYONE!

Vanessa: Okay, but did you have to deal with a genocidal robot from the late 70s that brainwashed you into killing people? 🤨

Oswald: Worse...it tried to be my DAD!

Gregory and Cassie: What's so bad about that?

David (C.C.) and Michael: What the hell is wrong with you people...

Gregory: look we live in a society alright!

[phefics]

Could you write headcanons about Mike Schmidt x babysitter!reader?? I know its a really popular trope rn but I can’t get enough of it!! 💓

mike really tries to fight his feelings for you at first — he needs a babysitter, a babysitter who doesn’t mind the shitty/late pay and who can deal with abby’s quirks

scaring you off with his crush would really suck, so he spends the first few months getting flustered when he speaks to you, avoiding your eye and going red when you smile at him

eventually, he can’t keep dancing around it anymore and he invites you to have dinner with him and abby before he leaves for work

he orders pizza and apologizes that it isn’t anything fancy, but he charms you with little quips and how good he is with abby

after mike leaves, abby tells you very matter-of-factly that her big brother has a huge crush on you, and that it’s pretty gross

you laugh and tell her that you and mike are just friends but she rolls her eyes at you

when mike gets home, you’re asleep on the couch, and you wake up to the smell of coffee — abby is still sleeping, and you and mike drink coffee together

you tell him about what abby said, expecting him to laugh, but he just goes bright red and stares at the table

on a day when abby’s at school, you guys meet up for your first real date

abby already easily accepts you into the family since she knows and trusts you

[plasmasimagination]

Hey I saw you write for fnaf on your rules and preferences and could you maybe do past Michael Afton x riot grrrl reader headcannons? Like she's really into feminist punk and usually hates on the boys at school but somehow Michael won her over??? Thank you!!!

MICHAEL AFTON X RIOT GRRRL READER

hello there my beautiful audience. How are ya today darlings???

anyways i decided to get my ass up and write again so lets go

A/n - MICHAEL REQUESTS YES i, esp after the movie, am totally whipped for that man. But here were writting game based michael hs au id assume >:D

michael was probably one of the main guys you hated. Lets be real, he was mean, a bully, obnoxious and likes provocating girls and telling them stuff like "make me a sandwich" or "go back to the kitchen

because of that, you and michael were always arguing and debating over it

after a while it became a basic routine, and he would purposely come up to you and start provocating you by saying something he knew would make you upset/argue with him

he secretely just really enjoyed talking to you, and in his mind this was the only way youd pay attention to him since youre too cool (he loves your clothing and music taste sm)

after a while, he would actually drop the provocations and find other random reasons to talk to you

his friends would always tease and laugh at him when he talked to you but at this point he couldnt care less. all he wanted was to sit there and listen to you talk about the current actual things at the moment. he didnt even need to understand or agree with you, hed just enjoy listening to you talk about something you enjoy

and youd notice,since he started hanging out with you, he stopped saying misogynistic things to girls. . .

and in the time you were talking to him, hes actully turned out to be interessting and nice when he wants to be, even a romantic at heart.

he started acting more respectfull to others, and you somewhat...found yourself enjoying talking to him . . .

[applecidersstuff]

Just out of curiosity, how old do you think fnaf characters are?

Just to have a perspective let’s use 1983 when everyone is still alive.

In my mind Michael, Charlie and the bullies are all about 16, missing children are (not all of them the same age) between 6-10, Cassidy is either the eldest or the youngest out of them so she’s either 12 or 5, CC 5 or 6 and Elizabeth is somewhere between 7-9.

William is in his mid 30s and Henry is in his late 30s/early 40s

Headcanons of how would Glamrock Freddy, Sundrop, and Monndrop react to seeing GN reader buying a plushie of THEM?

Of course!!

You and Freddy had been walking around after one of the band's shows and of course, he got distracted by some of the fans wanting him to sign some stuff. He didn't even notice you slip away into one of the gift shops that was nearby.

Once the fans had left he noticed you had left and looked around before seeing you though the gift shop window buying a plushie of him. Trying not to overheat as his intake fans started to try and cool him down.

He walked over to you as you came out of the shop, "Y/N what are you doing?"

You shrug softly, "I wanted something that reminded me of you to sleep with when I can't sleep here."

Freddy swears that he was gonna shut down there from an overheat of cuteness.

Sundrop - ☀

To be honest sundrop didn't see you buy the plushie, his gift shop is outside of the day care and he doesn't leave the daycare. He only notices it when he sees you carry it around towards the afternoon when the kids are having a snack.

He quickly rushes over to you excitedly, "oh Y/N you got a doll of me! Can I get one of you to then, we can match them together!"

You two did make this possible by ordering a custom plushie on line or learning how to make one yourselves. Your plushies now sit next to each other on a shelf in Suns room.

Moondrop - 🌙

Moon only notices the plushie when you decide to stay the night at the daycare one night, of course you wanted to bring it with you. In front of you he just acts jealous of the plushie when really he also wants one of you.

He hummed softly as you laid in his lap trying to sleep, cuddling with his plushie too, glaring softly at it, "Do you really need that thing when I'm right here?"

Moondrop will just make his own plushie of you, there's no way he's buying one from offline. Besides he likes the idea of having a little crochet project to do.

I kinda changed it a little due to the fact of sun never leaving the daycare and moon only being out when the gift shop is closed. Hope you like it still! ❤
