Deep Dive #1: Michael Afton

(Note: this about how Michael came to be as a character in my AU, not about Canon Michael)

My Michael first started off as the insane stereotypical Michael we all know and hate. I'm talking Mennard, I'm talking seeing Glitchtrap, insane asylum, first dead, all that junk.

I made quite a few AUs with that Michael. I made a DID AU (which helped me flesh out more of his character), I made a Phineas and Ferb AU (Michael was the stand-in for both Candace and Agent P), but most notably I made my Percy Jackson AU.

My Percy Jackson AU created the groundwork for the Michael you all know and love. I never got past chapter 7 and the writing of it was quite frankly atrocious, but it helped me find Michael's voice as a character. He was a witty, sarcastic, impulsive character with a few too many secrets and an inherit love for found family. Michael had that same fierce loyalty to his friends, saying to Henry:

This is probably the best written line in the entire thing, btw. Except for the classic:

Fuck bitches get nomney. Moving on, PJ Mike still followed the classics: he was friends with Ennard, was abused, was kind of a psychopath in all honesty (he killed family pets of the foster homes he stayed in (but he was literally the son of the king of monsters so idk give him a break lmao)).

He did steal a car and it was badass, and he was gay and in love with James.

Later, after watching more videos about the Aftons, I decided to scrap the stereotypes and make my own AU. We'll call this one the "Old AU" since it came right before my current AU.

I came up with the design for my P!Mike after making an AU where the 4 Tormentors were lab experiments. He looked a little something like:

Ouch. It looked better in gacha, I swear. I still got things from the stereotype au; he was experimented on as a kid by William, and was NM Foxy, for example. He did have black hair, but dyed it brown to differentiate himself from William. I did lean away from the stereotype that Mike could control his rotting and got rid of Ennard as a character, instead bringing in Molty, who's stayed the same since they were created, down to looks.

Old!Michael looked like this:

As you can see, Michael kept his jacket and glasses while crossing AUs. This Michael was kind and fatherly while still having a chaotic streak. I vividly remember writing a scene where he dislocates his spine and Jeremy had to crack it back in place. Michael made a joke about throwing up blood and then threw up blood. (Funny enough, after writing that scene I decided to scrap the AU).

If PJ Mike laid the groundwork for Michael today, Old Mike laid the support down. Michael was in a polyamorous relationship with Jeremy Fitzgerald and Fritz Smith, who no longers exists in my current AU, as Michael is Fritz Smith.

Michael still loved his father in this AU, and was searching for him to set him free so they could all move on together. Obviously Willy boy came back as Glitchtrap, and they were all stuck on Earth.

Since Michael was NM Foxy, obviously the other tormentors were the other Nightmares, with Kasey from Fazbear Frights as NM Fredbear. Kasey was the one who forced all the Tormentors to bully Evan. Man, I really did not like making Michael responsible for any of his mistakes lmao-

Despite these differences, Michael was fundamentally the same character as he is today. His motivation lay in reuniting with his family and friends, he was still the goofy guy he is today. The only exception was that I was too cowardly to really whack him with the trauma hammer so he was wholly neurotypical and his dad apologized to him and he got to be with his mom.

In between creating the Old AU and creating my current AU, I made a small AU that I called the Figment AU. It was paired with a couple other AUs, namely the Crazy AU, Old AU, and the God AU. The Figment AU, to put it short, was based off Bendy the Bunny's first edit of Michael, in which there's text that reads "I'm not real".

I went "oh what if that was literal and Michael didn't exist lol" and then made it an AU. Yay. In it, he was the embodiment of "The Monkey's Paw" in which he granted wishes but twisted it. He met a boy named Terrence (wow) and kinda raised him until he died in WWI! His last wish was for Michael to be free or something, but Michael had to twist it so he was freed but at the expense of not being his own person anymore. He was forced to do WHATEVER anyone expected him to do, even if he didn't like it. So when people started expecting him to cause trouble and bully his brother.. yeah. The only person who didn't expect anything of him was James and he was able to communicate with him.

Figment looked like this:

It was a cool AU, and it really hammered home to me the fact that Michael would be a GREAT father, and established his relationship with James.

But Dev, you're saying, PJ Mike and James were together!! I know, but that didn't count because Michael was so different.

Jumping ahead a few months irl time, I decide that I don't fuck with the Old AU anymore and I decide to revamp it. A few of the concepts stay the same, like Molty, Helpy, and Jeremy. But most of it is improved on.

Past Michael changes from a weak-willed sadboy to the egotistical, god-complex, asshole dickstain he is today. He doesn't dye his hair anymore, and looks like this:

That image is where I finally learned how to draw the Foxy mask correctly woo!! (Call-out post to my old art seen above).

I would also like to mention that all of these pieces were done on this phone with my left index finger. Just something to brag about ig 💅

Michael gained neurodivercency with his schizophrenia, I whacked him a couple times with the good ol' trauma hammer, made him accountable for his goddamn mistakes, and gave him a couple kids.

Michael started hating William just as I do! However he was not experimented on by him at all. He is no longer Nightmare Foxy, but the Nightmares are his. They're just literal Nightmares turned hallucinations.

And wow, what is this? Michael actually had growth during the SAME AU!! In my current AU, he was angry all the time and beat people up for fun, shown here:

Hmm. Maybe I should quit art lmao. Look at the neck on that lad. What was this shading? Look at Michaels BOOT.

And look! He kept his jacket!! I couldn't let myself get rid of it.

Anyway, this phase of Michael didn't last long. Good riddance.

Michael became the corpse we all know and love, in a relationship with Jeremy Fitzgerald and James Watson, with 3 kids, 2 siblings, and a complete family and character arc.

I think it was needless to say that Ace!Michael remained through his entire journey (except for the setero AU because idk apparently rape used to be funny?? I hate it I hate it anyone who makes rape a comic haha funny joke can choke on my massive cock dick balls and asshole). As someone who is ace, I literally couldn't see him as anything else! So he's ace.

I'm sure Michael will do some more developing as my channel goes forward. He's already changed a lot during the course of my channel!

Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for the second part of this series: Evan Afton!

William’s hand is tangled in your hair. His face is picture perfect, albeit shiny, but his ragged breath and airy chants of you name falling from his lips tell another story.

Your knees are burning. Your pants are around your ankles, your panties shoved into William’s pocket, cun leaking on the ground from where he had just fucked you on two of his fingers. The tile under your knees is cold, and hard, a sharp contrast to the rest of your body.

Your mouth is wrapped around his cock, head brushing the back of your throat. You gag, and William pulls it out, tapping your lips with it. “Kiss it. lick it.” He commands gently, and your hand wraps around the base of cock, obliging.  William’s hand comes up to cover a whimper from escaping from his lips, the travels down his neck, loosening his tie. When the phone rings, you jump, but William calmly leans forward to answer it.

The hand in your hair keeps your mouth over the tip of his cock, and you swirl your tongue around it. “Hi, this is Mike. I was just calling to see if that job that you offered was still available?”

William tenses, and you lick a strip up the underside of his dick, a hand coming up to brush your hair back as you take him deeper.

“Yes, the security guard,” William answers, his voice unwavering. You dip your head, hollering your cheeks and taking him so far his top hits the back of your throat. In your mouth, the rest of his cock twitches, and William suck in a sharp breath.

“I will take anything.”

William’s hand grips the armrest of his chair as you slide him out of your mouth, releasing him with a pop! and, William exhales a little shakier than the fist time.

“All you have to do is keep your eyes on the monitors!” William says, his voice slightly wavering. You’ve gotten louder, and William’s whole body is tensing.

“Right…uh…so. What— what day is a good start date?” Michael asks. He can hear the noises through the phone, and he’s frozen in his chair. He’s only slightly aware that his jeans are gradually tightening around his crotch as he tries to focus on what William is saying.

“How about Thursday?” William says, then exhales loudly when you gently take your nails over his happy trail.

“O-okay. Thursday.” Micheal is silent for a few more moments before: “Do- do you hear that, Mr. Raglan? What’s that sound?”

William’s grip tightens in your hair, stopping you from freezing. His cock twitches in your mouth and you realize he’s getting off to this.

“Oh, it nothing Micheal. Just the rain we’re having here in Utah. You know how it is…” William’s hand moves down to the back of your throat, and his his balls tighten. He’s telling you to keep your mouth there, right there as best he can without speaking.

Across town, Micheal glances put the window near him. It may be growing dark fast outside, but the sky is clear. He can’t even catch the smell of rain on the wind. He swallows thickly, wondering if he should continue this conversation.

“Mr. Raglan…it was sunny today.” William is hardly paying attention to him at this point, hips stuttering as he shoves himself as far down your throat as he can go.

He grins when you gag, finally getting his release. As he spills down your throat, he smiles at the tears gathering in your eyes, shushing you quietly.

“Ah, silly me,” he hums into the phone, petting your hair. “My mistake.”

Intro Post!

Hi everyone! Along with being active on Twitter, I'm going to try to keep up w Tumblr! I'm Emma/Pearlandpine, 22, she/her, and writer for FNaF + multifandom - COMMISSIONS -

My commissions are OPEN! I would love to work with you with writing for your favorite fandom or original work!

- MY FICS -

You probably know me from "His Empire of Dirt" on ao3! Read my FNaF Time Travel fix-it here (Heed Content/Trigger warnings in ao3 Description)

Michael Afton falls in a ball pit while trying to put his father down for good. When the hell did he wake up in the the 1950s and become William Afton's imaginary friend?

or

Michael Afton accidentally travels back in time and tries to stop his father from becoming the man behind the slaughter.

"The Depravity of What You Did" is my FNaF Role Swap Au! Though the main fic is complete, there is a series of one shots to serve as follow ups, as well as a sequel to be written late 2023/early 2024!

Henry Emily has lost what he loves most. William Afton never thought he would be the hero because of it.

or

Henry is the killer of FNAF and William must stop him (reluctantly, and really, more fueled by spite than anything).

And my current long project! "The Infinite Sky", a Security Breach fic following Vanessa and Gregory begrudgingly working with an accidentally resurrected William Afton to defeat Glitchtrap. This is ongoing and will take a long while to finish! (Heed CW/TW in ao3 description)

Vanessa and Gregory determine the only way to fight fire is with fire, damned who gets burned in the carnage.

or

Vanessa and Gregory accidentally revive William Afton in an attempt to stop Glitchtrap for good.

I am a part of other fandoms like Succession, GoT/HoTD, PJO/HoO, Doctor Who, MHA, and many others! I've posted for Succession and will be writing more soon :) I'll be posting snippets and links here of my fics!

Additionally! I have a YA Fantasy series, "The Gods' Descendants", which I am currently trying to get published! I'd love questions about it if you have them, and will likely be posting snippets from it along the way :)

Anyway...

I'm very active on Twitter and will be remaining on that site until they physically restrain me, so follow me there @pearIandpine esp if you're a moot! On Tumblr, I'll be posting writing, and hopefully one day, art (once I improve!)

If you make fanart/fanfics of my works 1) AGH tysm!! 2) Tag it under the title so I can see it, and tag me as well! I love love everything y'all make <3 Thank you for reading :) See ya!

About Schmelly...

Okay, Okay. I know I'm technically nobody to dictate what people should and shouldn't do in the internet, but I can at least suggest something, right?

Scrolling a little through Ao3 (as usual) I eventually came across the Mike/Vanessa tag, standing tall at 76 works (last checked on 12/12/2023). Nothing wrong there, right? If we're talking about works, then yeah—there really is nothing to say about it. It's more about the tags that I'm a bit concerned with.

You see, you know how the Five Nights at Freddy's lore works, right? Bunch of twists and secrets and revelations here and there...such as Mike Schmidt's true identity in the Movie continuity. Even if there are more things pointing to the opposite at the moment, there is a chance that Mike can turn out to be Michael Afton all along, in a potential sequel to the movie. It's perhaps too soon to tell, but there is a possibility.

The problem with that? Well...if Mike does turn out be an Afton, we might be dealing with an incest problem—like once happened with Luke/Leia long ago. If this does happen, then a lot of writers out there might be subject to harassment by readers who don't like incest, even if you've published your work way before the reveal. I know this because I've seen this happen before in different fandoms.

With that in mind, here comes the suggestion: you know how Ao3 works with an "additional tags" system? Try putting "Mike Schmidt is not Michael Afton" or "Mike Schmidt and Michael Afton are not the same person" in that section. It takes less than a few seconds, and it is already registered in the archive.

That way, the readers are at their own risk by reading your story, because you've warned them about the contents and specifics that are in it. That's what the tags are for, and if a reader still insults you despite you adding that warning beforehand, then you're not at fault; politely tell them that they should've minded the tags before reading.

TL;DR: I recommend for any Mikenessa writers out there to put "Mike Schmidt is not Michael Afton" and/or "Mike Schmidt and Michael Afton are not the same person" in the tags to save them from future headaches in case of a potential revelation in canon.

[connectionterminated13]

Sometimes I feel like I'm being too negative about my favorite bear jump scare franchise so here's some things I really like feel free to add-on with your own favorite Things

-The idea of how remnant and possession works/the idea of science being used to enhance the supernatural

- Charlie Emily and Michael Afton. I love everything about their characters like so so much

- The fact that fazbear entertainment is in the evil corporation built on the suffering of hundreds of people they keep on trucking along monetizing the people they've murdered and ruin the lives of

- Sister location everything about that game I love it!!!

- All of the designs from FNAF 2 And most of them from FNAF6, The Withered animatronics and Toys look awesome Mangle and the Marionette are incredibly freaky and I love them!!! As for FNAF 6 I love the designs of scrap baby and molten Freddy along with the ugly sort of wonky designs of all of the show stage animatronics!

- The silver eyes! I think it's probably the best FNAF book! I think the silverize is probably my favorite Canon portrayal of William and Charlie is a wonderful protagonist I just love her

- Elizabeth Afton

- Spring lock suits just like an awesome concept and I love it

- Glitch trap(Specifically in helper wanted before the mimic reckon). I love the idea of this being what William is like when there's no like act left that he has to put up that he's a normal sane person. He gets to be goofy and do his little murder dance in splendor in what he's done in what he's going to create again.

- Henry Emily's whole speech

- Spring trap I just really like how ugly it is :)

- The fact that the monsters that you are defending yourself against throughout every game are just scared kids who are lashing out because there's nothing else that they can do. They're just as trapped as you are

- Zombie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Cassie as a protagonist like girl is Going through it

- Vanny (Even if the main line games handled her terribly the Fandom fixes that!)

- The fact that Bonnie ate a cat 1 time

- Nightmarionette and nightmares designs!! They're my favorite characters from FNAF4 (excluding the crying child)

- Even though I feel like the atmosphere could have been worked on I really like the design of the pizza plex and some of the ideas in there of a shiny nice Veneer hiding the horrors underneath

- The cupcake I think it's funny....

That's all I can think of off the top of my head if you have anything you like that you want to add please do!

Going Back: Ch. 20

~Coauthored by @zeitghest~

Fandom(s): Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach

Description: Things are looking up for Gregory. After putting the soul of a formerly-immortal killer to rest, he and his new family can finally begin their lives anew. Sure, Gregory might have been cursed with mysterious Remnant in exchange for being involved in this mess—not to mention his caretakers consist of sentient robots and ghosts… But there’s no doubt that the bond they share is unbreakable. They love him, and he in turn. 

All in all, life is finally starting to go right for once. 

…Unfortunately, true peace is a hard-won battle. There are other things to contend with besides William’s decrepit soul, and Gregory will learn that his role in the lives of the Aftons and Emilys is far greater than anyone could’ve imagined. 

Rating: T

Read on Ao3

Michael walked into the Pizzaplex that night with a sense of determination. While scouring the camera footage for the Smiths, he couldn’t help but notice another pattern of odd behavior: Ennard constantly traveling to and from the basement. Normally Michael wouldn’t give this a second thought, but the amalgamation was going there a lot—more so than ever before. The seasoned night guard couldn’t shake the feeling that the animatronic was up to something… and he was going to get to the bottom of it.

Thus, after checking in with Sammy, Michael’s first stop in his rounds was the Daycare. Charlie joined him to check on her “little sister,” though Freddy and Gregory seemed to have other plans and had parted ways on arrival. Mari and Sun were playing as usual, but Ennard was noticeably absent.

“Hey guys!” Mike greeted, though his piercing eyes scanned the room looking for anything amiss. “Where’s the third part of your trio?”

Mari clamped her mouth closed. She knew exactly what Ennard was up to, yet she’d been sworn to secrecy. Sun knew she was a horrible liar, and as the night guard caught them playing tea party Mari raised her pastel plastic cup to her mouth.

“Mikey—” she yipped, speaking into her cup before taking a frantic pretend sip. “—you’re here a little earlier than we expected! Ennard’s… Out? I think they’re in the vents.” Though she sounded unsure, like she was making excuses without really knowing the full extent of what was happening.

“Sun?” Mari asked across the table, lowering her tiny cup to her mismatched saucer. Batting her eyes, she silently asked Sun to help cover for their friend. “Did they tell you were they were heading?”

They may have mentioned something about intercepting Freddy and Gregory on their little adventure to come help them… Not that Mari would know.

“No idea!” Sun said, shaking his head. He mimed Mari’s action of taking a sip of tea, though it was a bit disconcerting when the plastic cup clinked against his wide grin. “I’m sure they’ll be back later! Do you guys want to play a game?!”

“I’ve got to finish my rounds—I’ll check back in a few hours though,” Michael replied, his expression growing even more suspicious. The pair were hiding something, he was sure of it… maybe he could get some insight on the cameras. Turning to leave, he waved over his shoulder: “Maybe Charlie wants to stick around? Or you can come with—I’m fine either way.”  

“I have to help Sammy out with some paperwork biz—learning the new job and all that,” Charlie replied with a shrug. She’d love to hang out with all of them, but tonight seemed a little tight schedule-wise.

“I get it…,” Mari sighed out, visibly deflating. “We’ll see you both later.”

“I’ll walk with you to the offices,” Charlie offered, holding out her arm for Michael to hook his through. As they passed the threshold of the Daycare exit, Michael glanced up to a nearby vent.

“Ennard’s up to something,” he answered Charlie’s unspoken question. “When we were looking over the footage last night to get rid of the Smiths, I saw them going back and forth to the basement all night. I thought maybe they were trying to help with the plan, but… they weren’t a part of it.”

Not that he was complaining about that—if Ennard was involved, the Smiths would definitely have perished.

Charlie walked along with Michael, silently soaking in what he was saying. Now she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Being truthful to her best friend was really important to her... yet despite Ennard’s plan being outwardly benign, she wondered if it'd make Mike angrier to tell him now or wait for the reveal as planned? 

“Are you sure it’s something bad?” Charlie asked, not quite skeptical, but not jumping to conclusions about Ennard’s intentions. “I’ve seen them talking to Dad a lot lately. Maybe they’re just keeping each other company?”

The look on Mike’s face told Charlie everything she needed to know. He wasn’t going to drop this tonight. Who knows, Charlie thought; Ennard could be halfway through their “plan” by now. After a short sigh, she remarked good-naturedly: “If you’re not going to drop it, I’ll help you investigate.”

Someone had to be there when Mike eventually flipped his shit anyway.

“…Thanks, Charlie.” Michael offered her a little smile, amiably nudging her shoulder with his own. If there was anyone in the world he felt comfortable sharing his concerns with, it was her. With a little sigh, he looked to the vent again. “I’m just worried they’re plotting something. I know Uncle Henry and everyone else in this damn place doesn’t think they’re a threat, but I just can’t trust them. And they’ve been saying some weird, cryptic shit lately and I have no idea what it means, but every time I press them they just make things more confusing…”

He looked to Charlie then, his eyes holding a hint of genuine fear. “I think they might be thinking of trying to get a new body. Like… like how they got mine.”

Charlie had been well aware of this rising tension. With it all laid out in front of her straight from Michael’s anxious thought-train she could easily see how it was causing him a great deal of fear not knowing what Ennard was up to.

“You don't know that for sure, Mike,” she said, walking up the stairs to the main security hub. Sam would be patient with Charlie’s absences and delays, knowing that she was the unofficial babysitter to all the ghosts. “We should try to find their last location on the cameras. Then we’ll go and see what they’ve been doing.”

“Yeah… you’re right,” Michael relented with a nod. He took a seat in the chair, swiveling it 360 degrees before settling in front of the monitors. He flashed a grin over his shoulder, gesturing for Charlie to come closer. “Help me scope them out, will you?”

***

Down below the Pizzaplex where no cameras could be found, Ennard was indeed talking to Henry. They were in the ghost’s workshop, standing around Henry’s latest creation. Gregory and Freddy had been summoned down as well, and the quartet examined the sleeping android with great interest.

“Okay, Ennard, last chance: any more changes, or are you happy with this model?” Henry asked the amalgamation. “I can always alter things later, though it’ll be a more laborious process.”

Gregory, who'd never minded being near Ennard that much, was currently helping them peel away those grimy unwashed carpet samples they wore everywhere. All the while, Ennard meticulously scanned over their newest body to host.

“IT IS M-MORE THAN PERFECT…,” they insisted. As normal as a form as could be without sacrificing too much for some stylistic choices. “THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING US…”

Ennard commemorated the moment by actually bending to give Gregory a limp hug—knowing they weren’t exactly the cuddliest, but still craving to show appreciation. Patting their arm a bit awkwardly and holding a cable in his free hand, Gregory escorted them to the charging pod.

“Dude, whatever to get my brother to stop worrying about you trying to kill people,” the young programmer said with a friendly shrug. After plugging into a power and datalink outport on Ennard’s arm, Gregory told them: “You’re going to get a restart prompt. Accept it and I’ll begin the download…”

Ennard did so eagerly as Gregory quietly closed the door on the pod. No longer would they have to fear breaking down or becoming the deadly thing they used to be. This was a fresh start for them; a new identity. They closed their eyes, collectively agreeing to transfer over as their power drained into the android on the ground.

“Man I hope this works,” Henry murmured, biting his nails in a rare show of genuine uncertainty.

“It did for myself and Mari,” Freddy pointed out, placing a comforting hand on Henry’s back. His creator needed to understand what a miracle he’d built, to transfer AIs with consciousnesses into bodies that suited them.

“Yes, but we’ve never tried it with multiple animatronics at once…,” the ghost retorted, and Freddy conceded that he was right about that fact. Even so—

“I think it is a success, Henry; look!” With a hushed exclamation, as if afraid to startle their freshly-transferred friend, Freddy pointed to Ennard’s android as it twitched a finger.

Ennard’s face twitched to life, nose scrunching as new sensations with realistic appendages allowed them a full scope of their surroundings. Their audio systems managed to boot up just in time to hear Gregory’s victorious shout.

“IT’S ALIVE!” he proclaimed, excitedly skipping over to examine Ennard a bit closer. “Henry—they’re so cool looking! I like the asymmetrical eyes…”

Ennard swallowed, feeling a bit under the microscope, but not uncomfortably so. The eyes in question—one blue, one a bright hazel bordering on gold—scanned over the room, taking everything in from the new perspective. Unfurling their lanky limbs, they got up from the floor and dusted themselves off. Base model repurposed from one of Henry's previous creations that was no longer needed by its intended host, the mechanic had been happy to add some more height to the limbs and remold the facial prosthetic to custom order.

“Only one thing left to do now…” Ennard’s voice was surprisingly calm and smooth. No stutters or skips in their speech now that everything was new and well-tuned, nor garbled static feedback now that consciousnesses had finally become one (for the most part).

“Firstly, thank you, Henry. I feel much better now.” They worked on rolling their sleeves up and down, trying to find a comfortable middle ground on where they liked the fabric to hang. “Freddy? Will you and Gregory help me find Michael? I’d like to see him now!”

Despite the excitement peeking through their words, Ennard’s face was still rather static—like Mari, there would be a learning curve in learning the finer mechanics of how to use their facial muscles.  

“Of course we will!” Freddy replied without hesitation, a huge smile on his face. This was such a wonderful development! He just hoped Michael appreciated it as much as the rest of them.

“Congrats, Ennard—your new life starts now!” Henry laughed, stepping forward now that the android was officially up and running. The ghost moved slowly, not wanting to spook them as they got used to the new sensations. Ennard certainly had the biggest adjustment from his old form—arguably more than Freddy, since there was more than one soul-bonded AI in there that had to get along to make this work. Taking Ennard’s hand, Henry turned it over in his own.

“You look good, but let me know if you have any problems, okay? Also—” His expression became strained and he gave the hand a little squeeze of both reassurance and warning. “—take it easy with Mike. You know we kept this a secret for a reason. He’s… probably still not going to react well, but he’ll get used to it in time.”

“We will be right there with you,” Freddy reassured, reaching up to pat Ennard’s back. Now that the android was upright, Freddy realized he now had some competition in the height department. Of course, nothing like Ennard’s previous form, but that was obviously a feature the bot couldn't bear to part with.  

“Yeah, luckily you have plenty of backup,” Henry added, almost feeling like he was sending one of his kids off to a playdate for the first time. “Good luck.”

“We’ll try our best not to frighten him,” Ennard assured. An odd, simulated feeling of being touched rippled through the synthetic nerve endings on their hand. It caused them to flex involuntarily, and Ennard’s mouth pulled up into a lopsided smile.

“Well, would you look at that…,” they marveled, experimentally scrunching their eyebrows while focusing where Henry’s and their palms met. Ennard tested their grip, lightly holding on for a second or so. Then they let go and turned to Gregory and Freddy. “We’ll follow your lead.”

***

Armed with flashlights and their walkie-talkies, Charlie and Mike trekked towards the backrooms. With Mike clearly on edge now that he saw Gregory and Freddy follow Ennard down into the depths of the basement, Charlie resisted the urge to sigh.

“I’m sure they’re fine,” she reminded her scowling friend. “Freddy would be flipping out if Gregory was hurt—Mari too, probably.”

“I know, but…” Michael let out a frustrated sigh. Something was going down that he wasn’t privy to, and it made him extremely antsy. Of course he trusted Freddy to keep Gregory safe, but the former bear was also a bit too amiable for his own good—especially when it came to other animatronics. Ennard had wormed their way into Freddy’s heart since day one, and Michael had a feeling he and Gregory could be coerced by the animatronic to do quite a few things.

As they neared the entrance to the basement, Michael caught sight of movement. He thrust out his arm to stop Charlie in her tracks, narrowing his eyes as he took in the figures. Freddy, Gregory… and an unknown. Tall, with jaggedly cut, soft white hair that trailed down their neck in what could only be described as a random set of layers. Wearing a sort of floaty expression, the person looked around the Pizzaplex with clear fascination in their mismatched eyes.

“Who the fuck is that?” Michael snipped, the hairs in the back of his neck standing on edge.

This was weird. Super weird. Why the hell were they walking around with a stranger?

And why hadn’t Freddy called or texted him about it?

Gregory didn’t seem to take notice of either Charlie or Michael as they ducked behind a corner for quick recon. However, the heterochromatic gaze of the unknown interloper had peered down the narrow hall at the sight of movement.

“So what are you gonna do first as a person?” Gregory asked in a curious manner, taking notes on how Ennard was adjusting to having a real face. Attention was brought back to the boy, they touched a hand underneath their chin in thought.

“I think I should like to try ice cream,” Ennard remarked quietly, attempting to blink in the synchronized way that humans often did. It didn’t come naturally or automatically at first—which was probably why Ennard never saw Mari blink much, either. This didn’t stop a smile from crinkling the corners of their eyes. “Cotton Candy looked like a good flavor to start with…”

Charlie squinted in the darkness, barely able to relate the person walking with their family to the blueprints her father showed her. 

“Only one way to find out—” she whispered, content to let Michael hide while she jumped out and called down the hallway. “Fred! Gregory! What are you guys doing?!”

She noticed how the stranger’s glance snapped to her before she even yelled—almost like they knew she was there from the start.  

“Charlie! God damn it—” Michael hissed, quick to follow. He grasped Charlie’s hand and gently tugged her to stand behind him. His eyes narrowed at the stranger, taking them in. At first glance, they seemed pretty normal—nothing outwardly amiss from a physical standpoint. However, the more Michael stared the more off they seemed.

The way they swayed ever-so-slightly in place.

The clear excitement spreading across their face as they stared at Michael with that unblinking gaze.

Those mismatched eyes—

“Oh.” The word escaped Michael’s lips in an exhale. His breathing hitched, speeding up as he started to tremble. “Oh… oh no…”

He knew those eyes. Somehow, he just knew there was only one creature that could possibly be behind them. Michael pressed a hand over his mouth as if he was about to be sick.

“Ennard… what did you do?” he asked in a soft voice. Then, Michael’s entire stance shifted to one of absolute rage. “What the fuck did you DO?! WHO IS THAT?!”

Ennard’s shoulders flew up instinctively, shrinking at Mike’s harsh words. Confusion, then some slight offense taken at the accusation formed silently over their face. Though Ennard wasn’t an idiot; they understood exactly why Michael thought they’d hurt someone else…

“It’s me!” Ennard attempted to say, hands up in surrender. “The body’s mine! Please don’t be mad with me, Mike; I just couldn’t stand living in the shadows anymore. I didn’t hurt anyone…”

Gregory stepped forward, standing between them. He still didn't have the full context for why Mike freaked out at the idea of Ennard's new form, but that explanation was absolutely horrible for calming the guard's nerves.

“Ennard’s telling the truth. Watch!” Gregory stressed, turning their latest addition to the android army around and pulling Ennard to kneel at the floor. They seemed obediently pliable to Gregory’s touch, perhaps not wanting to appear resistant for fear of stoking Mike’s ire. Despite any protests Mike may have about the pair making contact, Gregory lifted the flap of skin on the back of Ennard's neck to show a familiar set of input and output ports.  

For a moment, all Michael could do was stand there as a wave of rage-filled confusion settled over him. Ennard was now… an android?

“So… that’s just a robot,” Michael said slowly, trying to process everything. He had the strongest desire to wrench Gregory away, but Freddy seemed perfectly content to let his son handle the creature. Well, Michael supposed Ennard wasn’t really a creature anymore. Now they were just as "human" as the rest of them. Michael groaned, raking a stressed hand down his face. “For fuck’s sake, why didn’t you tell me? I thought they’d—I thought someone got hurt.”

“We are sorry we kept it from you, Michael,” Freddy apologized, holding a hand out and helping Ennard to their feet. He then linked their arms together, showing that they truly weren’t a threat. “We planned to reintroduce them with a bit more, ah… tact, but you surprised us.”

Gregory shrugged, looking up to Michael with an honest expression of remorse “I just found out the plan the other day. But I figured you'd be pissed either way. We were still going to tell you.”

Ennard’s eyes and mouth pinched into a smile as they leaned into Freddy, comfortable and happy to be accepted into the group by the friendliest member so far. Though Ennard kept their eyes ahead, gauging Michael’s reaction with cautious hope. “What do you think, Mikey? I don’t have to stay in the vents anymore! ...Right?”

Michael heaved a sigh. Gregory had a point—he’d be upset with anything involving Ennard, that was just a fact. Admittedly, he felt bad putting his family in such an uncomfortable position, but if they knew what he’d been through at the hands of that thing… well, they’d probably be a little more wary. Still, it was clear that Freddy and Gregory were perfectly content with Ennard’s new form. Really, taking a good look at it Michael realized they could do far less potential damage than in their old state.

“No, obviously you don’t have to stay in the vents,” Michael snapped with a bit more venom than he meant. “It’d be even harder to explain why a ‘person’ was crawling around in there.”

Tentatively, Michael stepped closer—not quite within hugging range, but near enough to check out the android in more detail. As usual, Henry’s work was impressive; no one would think the person standing in front of them was anything more than a normal human.

Like Mari, they could stand to blink just a little more. Ennard’s gaze raked over Mike’s face, actually beaming when he told them they could finally come out with the general public (at least, that was the long-term goal). Still inclined to try and get into Michael’s good graces they put out a hand, encroaching into Mike’s personal bubble as they waited to shake on it.

“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you. We were… sort of afraid about your reaction,” they said with some regret. After realizing Michael wasn’t going to touch them, Ennard instead used their hand to brush away pale locks of hair from their face. “We promise to try and be on our best behavior.”

With their tone of voice, it was hard to tell if Ennard was being facetious or mocking. Though judging by their excited shaking in Michael’s presence, they truly meant every word they said.

“I think you should totally still climb around the vents,” Gregory laughed, then looked to Mike. “We had to figure out how to get all their personalities to download. Ennard, if you feel like you’re lagging, tell me; I can get you a better processor.”

Ennard smiled, kneeling down to meet Gregory eye to eye and patting an appreciative palm over his hair. “You’ve helped us a lot already. We’ll take it from here, Gregory.”

“So… what are you going to do now that you look like us?” Michael asked with a raised eyebrow. “Because if you think you’re sticking with me every night that's a definite no—although I’m watching you tonight to make sure you don’t glitch out or something…”

Freddy smiled as Mike took on the role of begrudging babysitter. Clasping just hands behind his back, Freddy peered at Ennard questioningly. “I believe they mentioned something about getting ice cream? Although I know Sun and Mari would love to see the new you, Ennard.”

Ennard was shaking again. Tonight, for the first time in a while, they could hang out alone with Michael. They missed their little one-sided chats, as there was only so much the guy could say after Ennard unintentionally and partially paralyzed the guy’s vocal chords. Then again, their own speech had been stunted for a time, too. Up until recently, Ennard found themselves unable to fully articulate themselves. Maybe tonight would be their chance to explain everything to their friend.

“If you take me to get ice cream, I’ll go right back to the Daycare!” Ennard suggested as a deal. They smirked, wryly holding their arms behind their back, the somewhat unnatural posing making them seem vaguely suspicious. “Mari, Sun, and I can finally hang around in plain sight, too. Won’t that be nice? Especially with the part—”

Ennard stopped themselves, glancing to their shoes and voice cracking as they remembered they couldn’t mention the upcoming festivities. “—time job I’ll be applying for in the Pizzaplex.” 

“Okay… okay fine,” Michael sighed, looking around the expectant crew. He was still annoyed at the turn this night had taken, but at least Ennard was a familiar threat unlike the Smiths. If Ennard acted up, Michael could deal with it easily. “We get you some ice cream and then I drop you off at the Daycare because I have to do some work tonight.”

The schedule wasn’t up for debate. Stomping a little harder than usual, Michael began walking towards Bonnie Bowl where the ice cream parlor was. As he passed by Ennard he grabbed one of their arms and dragged them along, getting out some of his frustration with this simple action. “Let’s go.”

The others waved them off, Charlie whispering to Freddy with some concern in her voice. “How long do you think before Mike tries to dismantle them?”

To Ennard, Michael’s tough grip on their arm only came off as assertively friendly. Tugged forward and made unsteady by the sudden upkeep in their pace, Ennard eventually latched an arm around Mike's in return. Ennard could keep a better reign on him like this anyway; there were important things to discuss before the guard could slip away.

Instead of going straight for the tough topics, Ennard asked in an upbeat attitude: “What’s your favorite ice cream, Mikey?”

After all, in case they turned out to hate cotton candy, Ennard wanted a backup. Meanwhile, Michael’s phone buzzed, the family group chat going off with an alert from Charlie.

so does anyone else think Ennard looks a little like David Bowie now??? or is it just me?

“Huh?” Michael was currently distracted by checking his phone with one hand while trying not to shove Ennard away from where they clung. As he read Charlie’s comment he paused, holding Ennard still for a moment while he looked them up and down.

“Oh my god… she’s so right,” he muttered, unhooking his arm so he could type back his agreement. Only after slipping the phone back in his pocket did he fully register Ennard’s question.

“My favorite ice cream?” Michael’s brow furrowed, trying to remember. “Um… chocolate, I think.”

A wistful smile crossed his face as he recalled trips to the ice cream parlor with Lizzie and Evan. Cotton candy was his sister’s favorite and it’d grown on him over the years as a close second, too. With a raised eyebrow, he addressed Ennard again. “Why? Trying to figure out what you’d like?”

Ennard smiled, dimples forming in their cheeks as they answered Michael back. “I remember when they sold it at the restaurant. I always wanted to try the cotton candy flavored one... I’ll try all of them eventually.”

Ennard was pretty giddy and unable to hide it with their incessant fidgeting. They missed their more fluid state, being able to spill through small areas and change their shape to will. Though Ennard saw this as a fair trade off; a small price to pay to be able to walk freely amongst the living. Entering the parlor, Ennard broke away from Michael to go look at the flavors protected under a case. There, they tapped the glass with enthusiasm and almost psychotic happiness.

Michael watched Ennard curiously as they ran through the bowling area. They were forced to move completely differently in this new body, yet somehow it was clear they were still Ennard. When they frantically started tapping on the glass, Michael gave a resigned sigh and went behind the counter. The usual service bots were turned off for the night to conserve power and Bonnie was MIA, so there was no one around to serve ice cream but the two of them.

“Cone or cup—you know what, never mind,” Michael said, realizing that since Ennard had never actually eaten before, the less messy he could make this the better. Flipping up the plastic covering to the freezer, Michael grabbed a nearby ice cream scoop and rolled one ball of cotton candy up, soon placing it in a little paper cup. With the added touch of a plastic spoon, he reached over the counter to hand it to fresh android. “You’ve seen people eat, but in case you need a refresher you pick up the spoon, get a little ice cream on it, put it in your mouth, then swallow it. Don’t just… let it sit there. Got it?”

Ennard gratefully took the little dish. Firstly, they could already kind of smell the frozen treat, which was a new sensation they were still getting used to. It wasn't anything they could compare to before, as their functionality in their designs never involved the need for aromatic sensors. Despite the cool, air conditioned parlor's climate control, the ice cream beaded up slightly before they even got a chance to try it. So with eyes wide and unwilling to waste the frozen treat that Mike so nicely procured for them, they began their feast.

To no surprise, Ennard didn't eat ice cream like a normal person either. The bit the sweet, sectioning off a large chunk in their mouth and chewing as if it were mostly solid. Ennard found the flavor to be above excellent—with a thankfully soft texture. When they swallowed the first taste, it looked as though they just recently had an epiphany.

“We didn't expect ice cream to be this... wet. That's strange,” they remarked with an easygoing smile. “It's good, though!”

Michael had been staring at Ennard with a look of mild concern as they figured out how to handle the sweet. Of course they ate it like a weirdo—though Mike really hadn’t expected anything less. At least they took his advice with regards to how to get the food to stay in their system.

“Uh… yeah,” Mike responded, his brain trying to process that this “person” in front of him was the same thing that’d so brutally murdered him all those years ago. His lip curled slightly at the odd description. Ennard was still a little crazy, that’s for sure. But they were also, if one squinted... maybe a little nice?

Mike didn’t know if this was just some latent shock from the body transfer, Ennard trying to win his favor with good behavior, or if this was just… them, finally coalesced into one being.

The guard had to remind himself that Ennard didn’t start out being the stalking, psychotic abomination that tore him to shreds. It’d been a combination of latent Remnant and abuse from the technicians that sparked their desire to be free—not to mention the influence of children’s souls that left an invisible but potent residue.

Did this mean Mike would suddenly forgive them now that they could start acting more like a human?

Of course not. But maybe he didn’t have to be so aggressive all the time.

Grabbing a tiny white tasting spoon, he opened the ice cream case again and got a sampling of chocolate, which he held out over the counter. “Here—try this next.”

Excite by Michael's sudden willingness to share, Ennard smiled with teeth that seemed just a little too pointed to be considered natural. Another personal design choice—a trait that the robot collective simply could not part with. Instead of taking the tiny testing spoon, Ennard leaned their tall, wiry frame over the top of the counter and stick their mouth at the end of the spoon. When they pulled back, there were gnawing marks on the plastic utensil.

“That's chocolate?! Man, have we been missing out!” It was incredible, nearly indescribable with the happiness it provided.

“Ugh!” Michael reeled back, face twisted in surprised disgust. Trust Ennard to do something freaky just when Michael was kind of starting to get used to them. “Don’t do that! If someone hands you something, you take it.”

God, he’d have to teach Ennard a lot more about being human than he initially thought. Well, no—Charlie was going to help. He was not about to spend every waking moment with this thing by his side.

“Also—” Michael narrowed his eyes, having noticed the strangeness of their teeth. “—I’ve got to know: how much of… this—” He gestured from top to bottom of Ennard’s new android. “—was your choice and how much was Henry’s?”

Ennard was wholly nonplussed by Michael's reaction to them. After all, it wasn't anything far from their normal interactions. They were just happy to hang out and answer Michael's questions; finally, they could converse uninterrupted and with a clear voice box.

“A considerable amount! The hair, eyes, skin... Henry would ask our opinion on things, and then we’d tell him exactly the direction to take.” Ennard tilted their head. “Do you like it? I think it's an improvement. More... approachable this way now. I'd like to start being a people's person.”

“It’s, uh… different, that’s for sure,” Michael, roaming over Ennard’s features with a critical eye. Still, he had to concede— “Not nearly as freaky as your old form, so at least you’ve got that going for you.”

With a little sigh, Michael slouched forward and leaned his arms on the countertop.

“Look… you just make me nervous, Ennard,” Michael admitted in a serious tone. “I just can’t trust you after what you and Liz did to me—I mean, that was literally life-altering.” He grimaced, staring towards the floor though his vision was far off in the past. “I… I know why you did it—at least, I think I do—and I’m… sorry you were made that way. But I can’t risk you hurting someone else, and even if your body is different you’re still you.”

Finally, Michael’s heavy gaze lifted to the robot’s once more. “Your original purpose was to capture and kill children. How do I know you don’t still have those urges?”

Now that their body and its functions had changed, Ennard couldn't help but hide how hurt they looked when Michael told them this. Their fun ice cream time came to a halt fast at the guard's confession.

“We knew this was coming...” With a frown and a stare that met the floor tiles, Ennard sighed, self-soothing by rubbing their arms. “Mike... We get it. You can forgive your sister because... she's your sister.” It was an understanding approach that also called out the hypocrisy they saw at the same time. “And we get that you still don't fully trust us. We don't think we could trust us very fast either.”

Then, their mismatched eyes found the courage to look up to Michael, trying to put their thoughts together. It didn't take long, Ennard's hands gently coming now to rest on the glass of the counter. “We're in a different body now—the old models, it... it was a compulsion to capture kids whether we wanted to or not. We most certainly didn't want to kill children.”

Ennard's line of sight almost looked sharp for a moment, as if Mike’s implication that they’d collectively transferred to a new body simply to kill more was going to set them off. However, Ennard had more self-control than that. The feeling faded as fast as it appeared, no more than a twitch across their face.

“Circus Baby may be gone, but we remember that day... What she felt when your sister came to play with her. She never wanted to perform again after that. It was why he put in those remote controlled shocks...,” Ennard explained, the trauma of speaking about such a thing making their face scrunch in a flinch at the memories.

Mike was waiting for the pin to drop. Watching Ennard with a hawk-eyed gaze, he searched for any sign of deceit in their manner or tone. They’d lied before, and they could do it again.

But, to Michael’s surprise… it honestly seemed like they were telling the truth. If their compulsion to do harm was tied to their physical form, it made sense that getting a new one would essentially eradicate the issue. And they really did sound regretful…

The guard chewed his bottom lip in deep contemplation. Then, slowly, he reached out a hand.

“…Alright,” he said in a strained voice. Never did he think he’d be having this conversation, let alone saying what he was about to. “Fine. I’m calling a truce—for now. You take it easy around new people until you get a handle on acting more human, and I’ll… try to work through some of my own stuff. Deal?”

Whatever Ennard felt for Michael, it certainly wasn't hate. Not long after they started inhabiting his body did they realize that they scooped the wrong man. Their disdain for the technician soon twisted; Michael felt comfortable and familiar to Ennard in a world full of things they didn't understand—but they understood him enough.

Ennard's expression softened, and they moved carefully not to scare the person they considered a friend. Their fingers wrapped gently around Mike's, shaking it as if the man would fall apart at their touch.

“I'll make myself scarce; don't worry,” Ennard said, deciding to try mimicking Michael's blinking pattern. Fourteen times a minute was what they could calculate in their head, and a genuine smile crossed their face. “Please, come by the Daycare whenever you want. Feel free to shout at me, too; I know it makes you happy.”

“What?” Michael quirked a confused eyebrow. “I don't yell at you because I enjoy it—I do it because you annoy the shit out of me!” He pulled his hand back—gently, he was going to try and be gentle—and used it to pinch the bridge of his nose.

“I meant what I said when I’d keep an eye on you for the immediate future,” Michael said after a moment, glancing down to make sure all the ice cream fixings were put away. “Besides, Mari basically lives at the Daycare too, so I have to stop by anyway.”

Walking around the counter, Michael gestured for Ennard to follow him. “Speaking of, I’ve got to take you there so I can get back to the office. If you want more food, ask Freddy to bring you a pizza or something—wait.”

Michael stopped in his tracks, a sudden thought occurring that made him glance side-long at the lanky android. “Does Sam know about this? And if so, has he met the new you? I don’t want him running into you and flipping his shit because he thinks another stranger got in…”

Touching their hands to their chest, bunching up their clothes in the process, Ennard claimed: “Sam helped put this all together! Oh, I can't wait for Sun, Moon, and Mari to see me. Their processors are going to explode when they see my... Glow up.”

Ennard shut their eyes, envisioning the praise they’d receive.

“…Of course Sam knows,” Michael muttered with a twinge of annoyance, abruptly starting forward again. He knew Ennard would follow, so he felt no need to check behind him for proof. He rolled his eyes at Ennard’s comment, then lapsed into silence as they moved swiftly to the Daycare. The lights were bright overhead as they entered, and Michael heard the faint jingling of bells.

“Sun? Mari? I’ve got a—”

Gift? Surprise?

“—a something for you!” Michael called from near the entrance to the slide.

“Ooh! What is it, what is it?!” Sun exclaimed, rushing to the edge of the ball pit. Mari was on his shoulders to see better, holding on tight as Sun wriggled excitedly. Spotting the tall figure trailing behind the guard, he let out a gasp. “New friend?!”

Ennard followed on Mike's heels, close but not close enough to touch him and acutely aware of when he stopped and turned. Once inside the Daycare, Mari came rolling out from underneath an arch of stacked cans, rushing to the attendant. She remained wary of the newcomer, sticking to Sun's side like glue as Mike introduced the something that just walked through those doors.

“Wrong!” Ennard shouted, arms open wide and giddy with the reveal of the surprise he had for them. “Old friend! It's us—it’s Ennard!”

“OH MY GOSH! You look incredible!” Mari shrieked, running full speed and slamming into them with such force they knocked out the wind Ennard wasn't aware that they had.

“Oh wow!” Sun cheered, bouncing excitedly while he waited for Mari to finish her greeting. Ennard was only released for a few seconds before Sun scooped them up in a bear hug and swung them like a doll.

“You’re so light, friend!” the Daycare attendant laughed, holding the android out by the shoulders to get a good look at them. “And look at you—amazing! Everything suits you so well… Do you love it?!”

Michael hung back near the door, a little smile on his face as he watched. It was clear that Mari and Sun loved Ennard despite their eccentricities, and Mike was just glad the former amalgamation had someone besides him to entertain them.

Ennard laughed; Sun's insistence on hugging left them in a vulnerable position. Now that they were free from the confines of their slowly deteriorating body, Sun was the strongest robot in the Daycare. Denying him his daily intake of affection was not an option—though Ennard always seemed happy to revel in it.

“I'm not light! You're just strong!” Ennard laughed out.

Mari excitedly downloaded this new face for her security profile. Waving to Michael, she bounced on over to quietly ask him: “You're okay with all of this? I know how you feel about them.”

She was mildly concerned for Michael's safety, as he and Charlie's conversations did not go unnoticed by the suppressed Puppet inside. She was well aware of the things that Ennard did. While there was hardly a chance of relapse now that Ennard finally had a body to truly call their own, it may not always be 100% safe to trust them...

“We made an arrangement—we’re both going to try and… chill out in our own respects,” Michael said cryptically. He reached forward to ruffle Mari’s curly hair. 

“Mike!” Sun exclaimed, rushing over to him and dragging Ennard along by the hand. “Ennard says they’re staying in the Daycare—is that true?!”

“Yup.” Michael nodded. “I’m asking you guys a big favor: watch over them for me when I’m not here, okay? Especially Mari—I’m sure you’ll be a big help with the whole android thing.”

“Yaaaaaaay!” Sun cheered, releasing Ennard so he could clap his hands together. “You get to live with us now—it’ll be like a permanent slumber party! Ooh, I’m so excited!”

What Michael didn’t know was Ennard’s gradual, long-term plan. When they figured out how to blend into society better, they would eventually follow the new family home, perhaps taking up residence in the attic (provided they were in a house, of course). But for now, Ennard was more than happy to kick it in the Daycare with all his new friends.

“We can even help out on Monday when everything opens up again! But… just for moral support. We shouldn’t actually be seen yet…,” Ennard said, as a part of their little verbal agreement.

Mari jumped excitedly, tugging on Michael's sleeve. “You can count on us! I’m so good at watching things! And Ennard’s the most watchable thing I know.”

Whatever that meant. Perhaps Mari meant that she found the animatronic interesting to be around—which certainly wasn’t a lie. Despite Ennard’s smile, they tilted their head in a confused way.

“Thanks, Mari?” they said with a pleasant uncertainty.

“This is going to be so fun!” Sun exclaimed, reaching forward to give Michael a hug as well.

“Oof—yeah, yeah, glad to hear it,” Michael murmured, wiggling a bit until he was set back down. His eyes roamed over the trio once more before he gave a satisfied nod. “Okay, well, I've gotta go back to work—I told Ennard I'd come by later to check on you guys, though. Any problems, just wave at one of the cameras and I'll see you.”

“Will do, Michael!” Sun replied with a vigorous nod. “Try not to work too hard!”

“No promises.” The guard flashed a grin, then after a final lingering narrowed-eyed gaze turned to leave. “Be good, you three.”

“Best behavior,” Ennard murmured, echoing their promise from earlier with a strategic hand over their heart.

Left to their own devices, the Daycare staff buzzed to finally have a coherent conversation with Ennard. Sure, Ennard and Mari were stunted in their social norms, but luckily Sun was patient—an excellent teacher to help them find some semblance of normalcy.

"Hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall To remind me that I am a fool Tell me where I came from, what I will always be Just a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school"

Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery

"Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you I need you here to stay I broke all my bones that day I found you Crying at the lake Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh And if I could take it all back I swear that I would pull you from the tide"

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:

Saint Bernard - Lincoln

Propaganda:

Its got that sick clapping for smooth frame changes, and it's got all the applications babeyy. Low self esteem hero? Sure! Sympathetic villain? You got it! Morally grey character? Come on in. "Make me love myself so that i might love you" can be about god, friends, a partner, a found family, you name it. "Dont make me a liar cause i swear to god when i said it i thought it was true" can be about anything. Your best friend is evil now? A betrayal?? A disillusioned hero??? "Neither of us will be missed" girlies i am peeing from how good this song is for angst.

"the st. bernard sits at the TOP OF THE DRIVE WAY" makes for a very cool and sexy shot transition. you seen the beau lionett animatic set to this?

tik tok picked up the audio a bit cause the drop into distortion is great, but also the vocals and imagery as they stand are excellent. there's at least four ace attorney ones alone and they all focus on different characters (Blackquill/Sahdmadhi, Klavier, van Zieks, and Edgeworth) and the van Zieks one was posted shortly before the official localization was released. also idk if it's on youtube but there's also one for bass.exe on tumblr which is also excellent

Animatics with the song:

Omori

Five Nights at Freddy's Michael Afton Animatic

3rd Life Impulse Animatic

DSMP Revivebur Animatic

The Owl House

Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery

Propaganda:

This is song genuinely feels me with such raw and powerful emotion; I know it's kind of annoying to say a song "makes you feral", but. this song genuinely makes me feel feral. Pairing up a song that already makes me pretty emotional with ships/blorbos that already make me emotional is such a good mix that leaves me crying on my bedroom floor

Animatics with the song:

Ace Attorney

BNHA Kiribaku Animatic

Omori Hero x Mari Animatic

Adventure Time Bubbline Animatic

The Owl House Lumity

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

Please keep in mind that I don't know all the media and fandoms of the animatics provided as examples and I don't have the time (nor the will) to research them all. Don't come into my notes or my ask box complaining about them being included, I will simply block you. If a ship animatic included is about an adult and a minor, do tell me and I'll take it out of the post

ALSO keep in mind that I don't know all the artists submitted; in fact, even if I do know them I do not know absolutely nothing about them as people (I do not have twitter nor tiktok) and I could not POSSIBLY have the time to research ALL of the artists' controversies and what came of them so PLEASE don't flood my inbox with the artists' entire crime list.

[thecryptidart1st]

Thank You <3

Let me reintroduce myself to those who have been following since my beginnings and introduce myself to those of you who just joined:

I’m @thecryptidart1st and I’m trans. My pronouns are he/they.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for getting me to 2k followers. I am still very humbled that people appreciate my art, from my Soldered Wires AU to The Graveyard Shift to my earliest days of this blog where I was trying to figure out what to post. I never imagined one person to be following me, let alone 2000 of you. A lot of times I worry that I’m kind of a hack who just got here by sheer luck and cheap drawings, but when I see your comments and interactions with every post, it validates that I am an artist and at least there’s always going to be someone out there who likes what I draw. And that feeling has been encouraging me to keep drawing and improving my skills since I’ve graduated from school and hopped from job to job. I know I’ve had my inconsistencies with keeping up on asks and messages, and I feel guilty when my depression stops me from doing what I like, but almost every time I get back in the groove because I miss interacting with you guys.

I’m sure there are a few who have a lot of questions about my new identity and it’s been quite a journey getting to where I am now. In short, I’ve spent probably 17+ years of my life being unhappy about being a girl physically, but in major denial about changing it. And it’s funny, but Scott Cawthon unintentionally wrote the one character into his line of games that I emotionally attached to because our lives were basically the same:

Yes, Michael Afton made me trans.

Okay, not entirely, there was me emotionally attaching to the male Pokemon protagonists because “they had better outfits” and years of creating stories that featured a lot of male protagonists that gradually got more LGBTQIA+ with in-depth backstories and relationships while my female characters got left in the dust. And a ton of other media and fandoms that were gay as heck.

But for some reason, the FNAF series was a weird gateway into realizing I wasn’t a straight cis woman. And the more and more I learned about Michael’s backstory, relating to his life struggles, and just wanted to draw him having the kind of love I wanted for myself, I realized that I wasn’t a broken woman, but a man trying to crack out of this egg I was stuck in for so long. I only came to terms with this when I wore my first binder just this last weekend. And now this announcement timing up with my 2k followers is wonderful.

So I’m looking forward to what comes next for me as I try to figure out how masculine I want to present myself as and as I come out to my friends and family. But, I’m glad it’ll be alongside with my partner and all of you FNAF fans across the spectrum!

💙💖🤍Thank You🤍💖💙

[darealsaltysam]

hiya!! welcome to my blog!! im sam (she/her) and i like to write :3

since you're stopping by anyway, why not take a little look at my fics? i write on ao3 and have done work in many, many different fandoms! currently, you can find fics from the following;

ace attorney

fnaf

wynncraft

faith

the walking dead

star wars

paladins

dsmp (mainly older, discontinued works)

below the cut i'm going to put more detailed descriptions of all of the fics i'm proudest of, so if any of the above fandoms interest you, take a little peek!!

ACE ATTORNEY

spiky twink rebooted

a very silly highschool au chatfic. crack with minimal angst here and there to carry some plot along, but it's very low-stakes. really just something i write for fun to wind down. perfect if ur looking for some good ol crack to turn your brain off to!

waiting for godot

a three-part fic exploring mia and diego's story in ace attorney - before, during, and after his coma. it goes into the background of their relationship and dives into godot's mentality after waking up and finding out about what happened to mia. angst with a somewhat bittersweet ending, canon compliant.

SOME OLDER FICS

Object Class: Fey - completed. an ace attorney scp au, very miego focused with some light background narumitsu. does not represent my current quality or style of writing, but i still enjoy the story a lot and am proud of the fic as a whole!

Time Paradox at The Turnabout - discontinued. a time travel fic of sorts. various different versions of various different characters travel to one time period, hijinks ensue. not that well-written and was never completed, but you might enjoy the concept!

the adventures of spiky twink and the burger queen - discontinued. older version of spiky twink rebooted - read that one instead!

spiky twink extras - discontinued. companion piece to the above. short stories within the universe, essentially!

FNAF

THE SCRIPTVERSE

the scriptverse is a trilogy of scripts + a prose prequel which seeks to retell fnaf lore completely. it sticks to canon in some parts but deviates in others, so it will surprise you even if you know the lore inside out! i made my own changes to the timeline, mixed and matched stuff from the movie, books and games... overall, just a big revamp of the whole thing, all told through movie scripts!

the series is made up of:

MR AFTON, a william-focused first part retelling the missing children incident

MR SCHMIDT [act 1], a michael-focused sequel retelling william's trial shortly after

MR SCHMIDT [act 2], a massive third part to the series which deals with the fallout of the murder and the trial, michael meeting jeremy, ghosts showing up in the pizzeria, and michael finding out he has a sister he didn't know about! crazy stuff!

mr emily & ms schmidt, a prose prequel to the series which focuses on how henry, william and his wife clara met

WYNNCRAFT

warm hands, cold hearts, gentle smiles (also holy shit is that bak'al over there?)

a fic which focuses on exploring the dynamics between the four twain brothers as kids + includes an appearance from wynncraft's favorite bitch boy. also, i made theorick less of a bitch by explaining WHY canon theo is such a bitch!

my legacy in death, your legacy in ice, our legacy in blood

a follow-up of sorts to the above fic, focusing on mael having to help nesaak post-theorick freezing it. the second half of the fic looks at the time mael spent training bob. all around lots of angst, some hurt/comfort in the second part, and a very, very bittersweet ending.

FAITH

soul of christ (sanctify me)

a short fic which focuses on john and lisa's childhood, with a nice portion of catholic guilt and queer shame on the side (yes i projected onto john. no i am not sorry). very experimental but probably one of my personal fave works ever!!!

THE WALKING DEAD

mutual hatred builds character

a maggie and negan focused 5 + 1 (NOT SHIP!!! SHIPPING THESE TWO IS WEIRD!!!!) which explores mainly maggie's hatred of negan over the years, and ends in a retelling of their conversation in the woods in season 11. i love these two having petty drama. that is all.

STAR WARS

laughter [anidala]

anidala focused fic i wrote as a gift for my girlfriend! it's mostly just cute little snippets of their relationship, nothing more. i love them so so much ur honour

OTHER FICS

below you can find all my other fics - these i'm a little less confident in, because they're either older works or discontinued ones.

tommyinnit - dragonborn! - discontinued. dsmp skyrim au, sbi focused, secondary dream team focus. i really loved this fic and writing it but was forced to discontinue due to... stuff(tm). im still very passionate about the story and happy with what i wrote here, so i recommend it if you're into it.

The Between Dreams and Memories Series - discontinued. a complete retelling of the dsmp storyline. was planned to have 3 parts - same as above, forced to discontinue. contains 2 complete fics (part 1 and a spin off) and one unfinished fic (part 2 of the planned trilogy). one of the biggest fics on my account, a product of several years of work, and a very important work for me, even if its quality doesn't hold up. read if you wish!

a house full of serial killers VS the barbie movie starring margot robbie and ryan gosling - completed. a very very stupid creepypasta chatfic oneshot. i wrote it in one sitting because i was bored. it's nothing special, but it's pretty funny!

dance with the devil - completed. a very short dsmp oneshot, focusing specifically on c!niki and c!schlatt. im still pretty happy with how it turned out!

the scholar loved the scion // and the scion loved the scholar, but not in the same way - completed. a low-key depressing paladins oneshot focusing on lian and rei. gay sadness. no good ending. hurt and no comfort. sad stuff.

Deserve Better - completed. a pretty badly written who killed markiplier oneshot. darkstache focused. one of the first fics i ever posted!

[slickfordain]

♡❝𝐎𝐡 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡.❞♡

> I’m worried for the TBP fandom, it scares me, like my bff and I saw so much smut and I hate it- So I’m gonna share some Michael Afton hcs in the meantime for my comfort,,, love Michael Afton so damn much ♡ <

♡ Feminine!GN! Darling x Michael Afton ✧

☼ 1987, start of adulthood (20+) ☽

⊱┊Literally Barbie if she dated Ryan instead. But honestly, I could work with this, because look how absolutely cute you little shits are together.

⊱┊I would say Michael honestly would paint his nails black, and would absolutely paint yours into whatever color you like, because mans honestly fucking adores you— Even though, his love is sometimes through aggression. He tries.

⊱┊❝You’re the only one I don’t want to kill.❞

⊱┊Michael would definitely be more into sports after the incident - that he has absolutely no care for what so ever. Remember, Michael is just normally a fucking jerk, so he probably forgot C.C’s death in an instant.

⊱┊Home dates !! You both hate publicity, despite how social you two are sometimes. You both honestly just hate talking to people so randomly, and getting dressed up for a movie night at home is so worth it. Like why would you waste money on a fancy shit?

⊱┊You cannot tell me that Michael didn’t use to be in a band together with the other FnaF 4 members for a talent show, homeboy can play guitar with all his might to impress you ~♡

⊱┊Lipstick stains on Michael for sure. (For those who are wearing makeup, obviously) Mans wouldn’t even clean it up unless he has to go outside, which is rare for him. You usually buy the groceries so he only takes it off when it’s work. (Weekend basically)

⊱┊You and Michael don’t girlboss / boyboss, y’all girlsleep / boysleep. You two can’t have the energy of boss, which isn’t that important to be fair.

⊱┊Modern AU,, Michael gets drunk nearby you, and you being the little shit you are;; posed with puckered lips and Michael being in the background on his phone, texting you asking: “Where r u?” And there you are: “I’m right here bby”

⊱┊Michael would be the damn carpet for you over a mud pile. You hate getting dirty and shower 24/7, so Michael makes sure you stay clean— and obviously showers himself before hanging with you. You don’t wanna talk about how stinky he was in 1983, back when he was 16.

⊱┊Whatever you want, you get it. Michael is your sugar daddy and you’re just vibing with it - paying for cute shit and some things that you absolutely need. (Stuffed animals)

⊱┊If you happen to be either mute / deaf, Michael will try his hardest to understand sign language. Sure as hell bitch was super bitchy about it to others— but he came to understanding as an adult that sign languages are important. He just wants to learn for you.

⊱┊Doesn’t matter if you’re pretty, ugly, or whatever— Michael never really went for the pretty ones anyway, because what he cared about was your personality and hobbies, and how you are from time to time.

⊱┊When I rule the world <— Your fucking song

⊱┊Y’know, funny thing is Michael used to work for Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria, so you can only imagine how hilarious yet handsome Michael looked in the purple suit— with black trousers. Like father like son I guess.

⊱┊Whenever it’s collage, you both definitely break the rules of “no kissing” bs. As both of you are definitely not that touch starved, you both can’t resist kissing each other. Michael can’t help himself, you’re just really addicting it hurts.

⊱┊Michael: The scary one You: The dangerous one

⊱┊Y’know if both you and Michael were in the black phone movie, Michael would’ve killed the grabber before he could’ve tried kidnapping either you or him. Bitch thought Michael was 15, because he kept his old wolf-cut hair.

⊱┊Actually speaking of killing, Michael would intimidate those who try flirting with you because of how feminine you looked. Doesn’t matter what gender, everyone flirts with you and it’s getting annoying to both you and Michael.

⊱┊Oh yeah, you definitely also signed up for cheerleading to get away from such flirtatious people— So that not only can you focus on yourself being flexible, but you’re also going to get time to cheer on for Michael when he plays a sport. <3

⊱┊Once you two graduate, it’s immediately buying a house time, and definitely move into a big apartment where you can fit yourselves comfortable inside. You two just, snooze and laze around once you finish.

⊱┊Ohmygod adulthood is fukin hard

Ohmygod is right 💀 knowing in 2 months I’m 18, I’m gonna cry. Being 18+ doesn’t feel right ew, I wanna be 16 again.

[undeadcorpsesstuff]

Michael(foxybro) is the one who runs away in MM

I'm probably gonna get hate for this but oh well. I've not long started believing this theory, but when I think about it, it makes so much more sense. So, I used to think it was CC who was the one who ran away to JR's (or freddy's) in the fnaf 6 'Midnight Motorist' minigame, however I now think it's actually Michael/the older brother who runs away to the burial grave of CC and the man on the couch is actually Henry.

Firstly, if the person sitting on the couch is Mike, and it's CC who's running away, Mike would have to be a teen (around 16) at this time, but the sprite of guy on the sofa is named "man sitting" which wouldn't add up

Second, I feel like it would not be in CC's nature to run away, considering their being an animatronic right outside his window and he'd have to run through a dark forest on his own. This is is the kid that is scared and cries at everything. "He knows you hate it here" Implies he hates Freddy's, so why would he run off to it? I guess the theory is that this is before he's scared, and that's why Afton makes the nightmares, to scare him from going near them. I can get behind that, but to me I just prefer this theory.

If this was BV running away to JR's or 'Freddy's' then how did he get in? There was a person standing watch, I doubt they'd just let a random kid that appeared from the woods in without wondering where the kid's parents were. Plus, if this was the time period where it was before William killed any kids and before CC was scared of the animatronics, why would William be turned away from said place?

Personally, I just think it makes more sense for it to be the rebellious, troublemaker Mike. I mean, he literally smashes his window to run off; rebels against closing his door, which we know from the line "I told you not to close your door" Implying he was asked to previously, but chooses not to listen. Mike is brave like we see in all the games and as Henry describes him as his "brave volunteer", so it makes sense he would run off into the woods without any fear. Do you guys think BV would act like this? Idk, it just doesn't add up to me.

What if JR's is genuinely just a pub/bar and not a Freddy's location, that William was turned away from? which is why he returns home in a bitter mood?

What if the man on the couch is Henry who was asked by William to keep an eye on Mike, since he has a history of running off? What if "that place" is the grave we see in the minigame, and the minigame is set some time after CC dies? This could be Michael visiting the grave out of guilt.

Also, it doesn't seem right that Mike is the one on the couch who defends/protects CC from William. The way he speaks in this minigame compared to his dialogue in other games/official media doesn't add up to this one.

To me, I think it's Henry. Which again, makes sense to me because Henry has said he "couldn't save you then, so let me save you now" regarding his daughter's death. He expresses not being able to do more than he probably should've. Which aligns with the line "leave him alone tonight. he had a rough day." Henry doesn't actually try to stop William's potential abuse despite being somewhat aware of it, which aligns with how he said he regrets not doing more. You see, Henry in the games and novels isn't this saint everyone in the fandom think he is. While everything at Freddy's kicks off, like the MCI, Henry just kinda kicks back and does nothing. In term, he isn't really a good person. If it's Henry who's sitting on the couch here, then yes, he did defend Mike or at least make a lazy attempt at trying to get William to leave him alone. Bearing in mind, he says this just as William walks in or before he even does anything, meaning Henry probably knew what William was going to do, go to Michael, yet he doesn't take any action. Which is what he canonically admits to doing in the games before fnaf 6, not take any action.

You are welcome to disagree with me. I'm interested for people to hear what they think about this. i feel like I could've explained it a lot better, but oh well.

[phantomss-pain]

I'd be interested to hear your N and X

Right let’s go even more of these takes. (I really do enjoy doing this please keep sending me asks from the ask game lmao)

N) I guess I would just like to see more stuff that isn’t directly about the Afton’s. Give me more Emily stuff or Charlie’s friend group. It just gets tiring to always see oh hey here is my Michael Afton he is very sad and a uwu homosexual with his boyfriend Jeremy (thanks bluey capsules). Here is also my William he is a bit of a prick and might also be a homosexual for Henry. Also here’s Elizabeth and Evan. Evan is a very shy lad and he also is a very nice spirt who forgives his brother while Elizabeth is very spoilt and is evil like her father.

It’s like okay wow so original can you give me any details on other characters and it’s like nope they don’t exist. It’s why I’m so focused on Charlie and her friend group so much as I just don’t see a lot of content for them and I just want to add more to them.

X) I’m pretty much always going to love the childhood friends to lovers trope. Like aside from Michael and Charlie most of my favourite ships in other fandoms are ones where they are childhood friends and as they are older they love each other. It’s why for Pokémon Hop and Gloria from sword and shield is one of my favourite ships. It’s just a lovely trope in ships that I adore and wish got more attention.

Another one is the introvert dating the extrovert. It’s just so fun to mess around with. I fell in love with this dynamic from my mha fandom days with Mina and Izuku which I was my otp before Michael and Charlie.

Anyway that’s enough for this one.

Hello everyone! And welcome to Ask Ennard! This is a fun little fandom account dedicated to answering your questions to and about Ennard! This post includes all the info you will need before sending in a question!

Who is Ennard?

Silly guy from fnaf sister location who scooped michael afton

Basic info:

This will mostly be sketches in order to keep it going. I have little motivation for finished pieces, so I hope you don't mind ^^" that doesn't mean there will never be finished drawings for asks though!

This blog is for Ennard and takes place before Pizzeria simulator! Because of that, there are no Security Breach/pizzeria simulator characters! However any characters from Fnaf 1-Fnaf 5 are here!! (dont ask how the funtimes r here. i like them so theyre here.)

Most art will be done in whiteboard, MS paint, or Krita

Rules:

No NSFW! I'm a minor!

Nothing that promotes bigotry or racism will be tolerated.

Prosh//p, nsfw accs, ect, DNI!!

No shipping, I just don't personally wanna do it. (especially between ennard and michael. I dont have a specific reason, it just makes me uncomfy ^^")

Nothing uncomfortable.

My interpretations of the characters are my own. You can have your own interpretations as well, but do not project them onto me. I like how I portray them.

I can't promise I'll get to every question but I'll try!

Breaking these rules may result in a block depending on what u did
