GO READ THE TIME TRAVELERS BEAR BY @puhpandas IF YOU LIKE AFTON FAMILY AND FLASHLIGHT DUO!!!

[puhpandas]

I adore how you write michael (specifically in time travelers bear, hes sooo silly<33/pos) like hes mean. He is sad. He is a little stupid. He wants that skater soo bad. He has beef with a 12 year old. Peak character writing

LOL thank you so much. most time travel fics had Michael as the protag so it was his adult self returning back in time so he already had his character development, but in mine Michael was still in his "I would accidentally kill my brother era" so like. hes a little bit stupid yeah. and he didnt just have a switch flipped in his brain. theres no remnant lore shenanigans of his adult self transporting in his mind or whatever hes just a kid realizing he made a mistake but still being that kid who was a bully a few months ago

I have had this idea since september (since before the first tttb animatic i made, actually) and while its unfinished, i am super happy i waited to start this one because its much more polished than the first. eventually it will be finished!!!! i have hope!!!!!1

but for now! Have this. Designs and fic belong to @puhpandas (altho i gave the aftons the moles i have on my designs because i like drawing funny dots)

GO READ THE TIME TRAVELERS BEAR ON AO3!!!!!!

song is kyokan

putting this in the tags was dumb so im taking it out (and making it more coherent 😭):

this is about tttb if im honest ,:) so im gonna reference it in this

“but reese how are they a good team?” they arent i just like them and think theyd blow up another pizzeria together.

BUT I DO HAVE THOUGHTS

like, picture this. charlie is a menace we know this and lizzie kind of is too but u take the afton brothers and now youve got evan whos rlly smart and then greg whos resourceful and smart and pretty observant and then mike who brings seemingly nothing to the table. but i digress. in the games we know he's pretty good at simple problem solving and all that, and we know he can be careful. on top of that, he's incredibly good at following directions and is most of the time fit to carry them out. now is comparing teen michael to adult michael fair or equal? no. BUT. Michael is strong, he may not be incredibly smart but hes not stupid. and above all he DOES care for his family and is passionate about this. except he aslo just doesnt apply himself to the rabbit hunters (which makes sense and is one of the things i picked up on in his characterization pretty quickly.) even when it comes to helping out with simpler things like comfort. for example, Charlie, Lizzie, AND Evan all rushed to comfort greg after he got out of the pizzeria after blowing it up. michael did not. which makes sense! not only does he not like greg much, he also just isnt a comforting prescance for greg. and when evan was panicking over cassidy and all that, michael only offered minimal comfort(? we dont know what he said so idk) until greg could come and comfort evan. he does not apply himself. i feel like im rambling in circles im sorry but like,,, mike is fast, he's strong, hes observant, and hes smart, but he doesnt use any of that. charlie is quick and smart and resourceful. Lizzie is also smart and quick, greg is incredibly resourceful and observant and good with plans and quick decisions. evan is good with quick thinking and emotional support, and hes smart too. theyre all smart im just talking myself in a circle. but michaels skills just havent been there because he doesnt show them. he just kinda sulks and does what hes told to. which fits his character a lot. he doesnt like the name rabbit hunters, he doesnt like greg, hes nervous around evan, and while hes MUCH closer with them, he still argues a lot with charlie and lizzie.

im just saying if he applied more of himself and put himself more into the team, he could do a lot.

and ik that greg doesnt let him make decisions bc hes not the MOST trustworthy, he could still do things

ANYWAYS I COULD BE 100% WRONG ABOUT THIS IM JUST THROWING WORDS AROUND ATP

arcadefox is such a duo. they hate each other but they have no clue how awesome of a team theyd be
