#(i.c) all is hell; headcanons

[ william doesn’t know about the moon landing btw. yes he was alive && in college when it happened. he was otherwise occupied that year and never got round to reading the news. or socialising outside his tiny circle. or paying attention to anything he doesn’t specifically care about. aka space ]

[ fucked up afton family thoughts number 1!!! william always celebrated michael’s birthday — but only ever in the diner. even when the diner shut down, william had a spare set of keys, opened it back up just for his oldest son’s special day. it was the place he killed evan, after all: in his mind, it’s the perfect place to remind michael that even on his birthday he has blood on his hands. ]

[ thinking all the time about how it was most likely henry who sealed william in the safe room after what happened . going insane about it constantly ]

talking about some of my ucn verses for this blog ^_^!!

ONE. regular old ucn!! william is stuck in the office night in and night out, unable to escape from his fate. he spends eternity in there until he’s able to escape as glit.chtrap / bu.rntrap and continue causing chaos.

TWO. regular ucn but with a twist ! at night william faces down animatronics & agony… but in the daytime, the vengeful spirit has expanded her little realm to include houses, twisted replicas of the living world william once knew. it’s painful for both of them honestly: especially when william meets false versions of familiar faces…

THREE. this can combine with either of the above tbh & it’s the verse i speak about in my carrd ! william is completely unaware of glitc.htrap & his other variations — the malhare is specifically designed to bring its creator back and unite ITS invulnerability, bur.ntrap’s physical body, and william’s mind into one being again. so when that succeeds, and william is transported to a physical body out of ucn…. he’s pleased ofc !! but also INCREDIBLY fucked up. paranoid, jumpy, erratic, and full of conflicting emotions. this is my favorite verse to think about hskdhd

FOUR. similar to above but instead, william ends up in a random body and it has nothing to do with vanessa or his other forms !! this links either to time travel or to a verse where he inhabits one of the other animatronics / a human body that allows him to interact with the pizzaplex in some way. same personality as above … maybe more determined to right wrongs and avoid ending back up in ucn!!

More tba most likely but that’s it for now :D

[ i cant stop thinking about the william & henry conflict in my headcanons of the lore. around 1985-7, william & henry have a horrible awful terrible year together where henry walks in on william’s second round of killing, but for whatever reason finds he can’t report william to the authorities. whether because he convinces himself william is really a good man at heart and can be reasoned with, or because william blackmails him, or because despite everything henry cannot report his old best friend to the authorities, they end up in this weird horrible “ relationship ” where every so often william shows up with his experiments and spends days-weeks with henry again. ]

[ henry, of course, hates him for it. and hates himself too, most of all. ]

[ in my headcanon, it’s part of the reason henry knows so much about the animatronics / remnant to destroy them with fire … and also part of the reason he is the one who finds william, agonised in the springlock suit, and simply seals up the room. ]

[ he’s had enough of william’s madness to last him a lifetime, and this is the only way henry feels he can absolve himself of the guilt he feels over being part of it. ]

drop your top 10 fnaf songs now pls

didn’t know if you meant actual fan songs or songs i associate with fnaf so i did five of each!! i could speak about all of these songs for hours so i WON’T but if you’re curious pls ask ^_^

1. I CAN’T FIX YOU / THE LIVING TOMBSTONE

OKAY THIS SONG GETS ME. You’ve been mourning your loss here and that’s grinding my gears, how can a human lose their self control? There’s nothing left to make you whole GETS ME. I LOVE Circus Baby & her story and everything about her so this song drives me wild already (unless i’ve interpreted it wrong and it’s not about baby in which case. oops!). the fact she’s speaking to william here and how frustrating it is for her that he’s MOURNING while his hands are covered in blood (her blood). this is such a bitter sad song and it makes me crazy so have some more lyrics that make me insane!

You oversaturate your world with nothing but machines. You might make everyone happy, but you’re dead inside, just like me. And now we’re here at a standstill — I wonder if you feel the kind of pain that puts your insides out (that’s something I know all about).

2. AFTON FAMILY / APANGRYPIGGY

i mean you KNOW my obsession with the afton family. you KNOW how bad it is. switching between each of the afton children and william (WHERE IS MRS AFTON. WHERE IS SHE. WHERE’S THE LOML) is such an interesting take on the song and you already know that the family is my main point of interest in the lore !!! also the chorus just SLAPS: all stay strong, we live eternally! all is well in the afton family vs lives, they fell to pure insanity! all is hell in the afton family is good ok. like i am a simple person with simple pleasures. a good bit of lyrical contrast is one of them ^_^

3. DRAWN TO THE BITTER / DHEUSTA

HENRY AND WILLIAM SONG. HENRY AND WILLIAM SONG. WHAT’S NOT TO BE OBSESSED WITH. if those other two songs weren’t so good then this would be ranked higher tbh!!! i am a SUCKER for this song and also for the pre to post diner era. to me it sounds like it’s from william’s perspective too as he reminisces on the past (a loss of precious life, a part of me died inside that night) and that makes it so much better for me…. the tragedy unfolding through the verses while the chorus drills home how inevitable the events were always going to be … tragedy is drawn to the bitter and william is the most bitter one out there :’)

4. FIVE MORE NIGHTS / JT MUSIC

fun fact!!! i heard this song before five long nights and i love them both. this one slips by into being in my favorite five list though. just a good old fashioned low lore song and it makes me so damn hyped and reminds me of the core of the franchise. the edits i see to this part of the song — did you listen to the vision you saw? as the clock keeps ticking we’ll be giving you more — do you remember the original four? take a look at us now, ‘cause our condition is poor! we were left to decay in this dark troubled place… — fucking rock ok. like all of them. this song is a bop idc

5. BELOW THE SURFACE / GRIFFINILLA

first fnaf song i ever heard so it holds a special place in my heart :3 also because sl is one of my fav games (that im gonna be playing on stream later most likely YAYY)!! his voice means to deceive you, my voice just wants to lead you. i used to squint a little at the line built without purpose because well . they WERE built with purpose. but in my understanding of the lore, these ones were the first to be built for purposes OTHER than fun/family etc, so they lack an innocent purpose so i get that part of the song now agdkhd. also who can resist exotic butters as the outro huh. c good song, v catchy, it’s gonna be stuck in my head all day now !

—

1. NO SURPRISES / RADIOHEAD

another afton family insp. song, by which i mean i loop this while writing anything remotely sad about the franchise and cry endlessly over them!!! I’m probably gonna do an ACTUAL line by line analysis of this and how it relates to my will & mike writing, but have a few for now: a job that slowly kills you (both mike & will), you look so tired and unhappy (the job destroying who william once was), i’ll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide, no alarms and no surprises (see last bits of analysis), this is my final fate (both of them, father and son, facing painful ends at the hands of animatronics). and then of course we have such a pretty house and such a pretty garden no alarms and no surprises (get me out of here) because so MUCH of the toxicity in the household was so insidious. a carbon monoxide death. william’s effect on the rest of the family poisoned them slowly and michael was resigned to it for so much of his life (no alarms and no surprises) but inwardly wanted out so BAD (get me out of here). this song fucking destroys me!

2. THE MIND ELECTRIC / CHONNY JASH

a cassidy song in my mind. especially this version! really does well at highlighting the bitterness and hatred she feels for william. “this creature hardly resembles a man, my logic is the absolute, his pity parties simply harm these chances at an apt repute esteemed regard in place of mockery” like YES!!! read him!!! have more that’s just SO fitting for the dynamic of these two:

3. KISS ME, SON OF GOD / THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS

4. SICK ON SEVENTH STREET / SARAH & THE SAFE WORD

5. THE DEAD COME TALKING / ROE KAPARA

[runelocked]

how would william feel if he knew about the fandom songs (going full meta for this one)

one third amused, one third indignant, one third narcissistically pleased. it’s surreal for him to think about people actually making songs about everything that he’s done and everything that has happened, in that way of ‘this is so bizarre so i’m going to laugh’ but at the same time he’s outraged by some of the songs (i hope you die in a fire is the WORST).

and of course it strokes his ego to no end — living forever doesn’t quite feel as good when he’s not being REMEMBERED forever too, and this sure is a way to keep his name in people’s minds!!
