#Burning Bridges {William Afton}

[funtxmequeen]

@behindslaughter liked for a starter.

Foxy hadn't seen her creator too many times since her activation. At least, not to her recollection. She wasn't one much for words around him yet, at least not unless spoken to, which on its own was atypical for her. Still, she has to wonder why he's here in Funtime Auditorium right now.

[charlieslowartsies]

hellooo might i pester a director's cut of the dynamics about Suits of KGA? :>

Yeee ofc I shall do my best to explain this bc it is a weird concept but a fun one lmao

A few short comments to start: I had not quite hammered out the details and finalities of Suits until around Ghost Strings, and even that was near the end.

Nightmare's coveting of Fredbear pushed me to really cement the concept of Suits into place.

Fredbear is rare and an exception, he's incredibly powerful but burns through Souls and eats away at his Suit by accident. Even clever Marionette is unsure the specifics as to why Goldy is so devastatingly horrible without trying to be, but the lure of his abilities and powers draws many to wanting to have him for themselves, even if it will kill them. (Marion wonders if shards of Arthur and Henry are what changed Fredbear into what he is today.)

It became a 'thing' out of strange necessity when I asked myself 'what if Mike Schmidt made a "deal with the Devil"?' in that he agreed to protect the restaurant and Marion gave him Goldy. Mike Schmidt was always planned to hold onto Fredbear's spirit since the start of London Bridge.

The haunted, powerful and spooky powers of Suits was created to do two things for the kga plot: Explain the first game's cardinal rule of "no endos without an outer, protective casing" and explore further why Golden Freddy/Fredbear was more spirit/apparition than actual thing in the first game, and why he talked all jumbled up.

Mike Schmidt has been protecting/guarding the Remains of Fredbear's spirit as much as Goldy looks out for his Suit/the rest of the animatronics/the restaurant.

I had no plans to separate those two until around Last Shift/Security Breach was released...then Ideas Happened when I saw Glamrock Freddy >3

The baseline thing to remember with Suits in the KGA is: Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse.

OK now into deeper stuff:

In the diner, a 'suit' was originally just the straight forward idea of 'human wears animal mascot fur suit to entertain kiddos, and give the other Animatronic alongside them a guided force so their programming stayed on task.'

This carried into the Toy's restaurant, as they especially needed some human intervention to avoid wandering off during open hours. (The Toys were never haunted, never really given as much TLC by their coworkers, and developed differently than the older and possessed original four and the two original models.)

After the Crying Child started haunting the Marionette, William Afton noticed it and began trying to replicate what he called Reanimation. It didn't go as planned, obviously, as the Marionette was not human over night, and he didn't understand the concept and, of course, it was Wrong, to try and cheat death. His youngest was an angry, sad, and out of control spirit filled with anguish and wrath and unmoored. But he was powerful, and wanted his father's love even in death, and Marion's ability to Give Life started growing.

The Suit partnership involves one animatronic and one human soul. The easiest ones are, of course, a human dying and their Soul being anchored down into the Animatronic. It's both Blessing and Curse, sometimes leaning one way or the other depending on the two individuals fused together.

An Animatronic can survive after their human soul is allowed to move on to rest, but they retain the humanity they developed from their now lost Soul, even if they begin breaking down. The original four had AIs that were progressing along by the time Afton stuffed their children into them, small personalities that grew as the spirits of their kids took hold and clung to them for comfort/safety.

This is something I didn't explore/detail well and I wish I had back in Devil's Spine: Concerning the original four, they grew from Max's teachings but also grew due to the whims of their Souls.

Freddy's child was a little leader, wanting to protect and keep safe and be in charge. Chica's girl wanted comfort, wanted her mother, and Chica became very comforting, but fiercely protective and not afraid to show it. Bonnie's girl had her throat slit, she had no voice in death so Bonnie spoke for both of them, leading him to be chatty and pointed and animated.

Foxy had a teenager in him before the other 3 had their kids, and he tends to be the more independent thinker of the lot, often able to be more realistic and accept things out of his control, but prone to temper issues when he's hurting.

The deeper a bond that grows between the Animatronic and it's Soul, the stronger their powers. Sometimes the outer 'Suit' is the Animatronic, sometimes its the human. For example, Scraptrap is technically Max Afton's Suit, being the toughest and most protective outer shell. Mike Schmidt is Fredbear's Suit, as he's out more and Fredbear has no outer casing anymore to thrive in, as it rotted away years ago and was stripped for parts as mentioned in Lies Within.

But others in the story would call Max Scrap's 'Suit' as well, the term flip-flops as needed between the bond.

Mike and Goldy's bond is strong from power/force/intent on both their ends. Fredbear is old. And he's gotten Angry over the decades. Mike wanted nothing more than to Live, he didn't want his body and heart to give out on him before he was ready. He was so desperate to survive the nights, their bond kept him a walking dead man who passed for living so well, minus the two heartbeats.

Max and Scraptrap's bond is deep from years of Togetherness. Scraptrap had no personality programming, just a blank slate of an AI that was given to a dead kid who had lost his family, his home, and his life in one terrible year.

The Crying Child's flashlight can forcibly draw out Souls or even unravel Suits.

Suits develop in different ways that are unique to the bond, as seen by Mike and Gold being able to Switch, or Max and Scrap being able to both be functional at the same time with no issues to one another.

The Suits can be healthy or toxic partnerships, they're always codependent it just depends in what way, and what choices the Suits make.

Springtrap and William Afton being the biggest example of what goes wrong when a Suit's powers are used for evil/wrong-doing, obviously. Circus Baby and Henrietta being an example of an Animtronic swallowing a human Soul until nothing remains. Mike and Goldy being a case of "Everything's fine" and then it's discovered Mike has been dead for years. Max and Scrap being a showcase for attachment issues, Max willing to die (again) if he can't be with Scrap, and Scrap willing to murder without hesitancy if someone threatens Max (although thankfully by the time we meet him in Last Shift, he's clearly been taught otherwise.)

I think I've rambled enough ^^; its 1am and i gotta get some sleep lol

[blood-and-pizza]

If Funtime Freddy isn't evil then what's he like?

I am so glad you asked!

Funtime Freddy, while not a killer in my AU, is still kind of a dick, at least initially. He's been hurt by a lot of human adults over his many years of existence, and betrayed by certain animatronics who saw HIM as the problem, so he doesn't really trust anybody. Dude is traumatized. So, in order to get back at everyone around him, he's this huge gadfly who purposefully annoys, pranks, teases, and bullies people to get a rise out of them. He is a sadist. He'd never kill anyone, nor would he seriously hurt them, but he's perfectly content to be a huge pain in the ass. Bon Bon is his partner-in-crime, though he's okay to do mischief with or without him.

It's when Melissa Pomene is hired to the estate that Funtime Freddy shifts his focus onto her as a potential new victim to harass. Though Melissa is new, he doesn't trust her not to hurt him too, as most human adults are the same to him, so he think it's better to strike first as a warning.

He didn't expect to enjoy her reactions to his antics as much as he did.

He also didn't expect her to purposefully seek out his company, repeatedly, even after he'd been such a jerk.

It's at this point Funfred develops a soft spot for Melissa, and there's a shift in his character. He's following her around more, and bothering everyone else less. He feels happier, like when he was first built, and can't explain why. He starts fewer arguments with others, and generally becomes more agreeable.

He experiences a relapse in behavior when he notices how close Melissa is getting with Glamrock Freddy. For a brief while, he's back to burning bridges. He's yelling at people more, even threatening them. Even Bon Bon is unsettled by it. Melissa confronts Funfred, only for him to say something to her he instantly regrets. Melissa breaks down in tears and runs away. Funfred realizes he's fucked up real bad and becomes incredibly depressed, withdrawing from everyone and moping in his room, sometimes even without Bon Bon.

Things get better once Funfred apologizes and makes amends with Melissa, as it leads to him and Glamrock Freddy agreeing to both date her. This newly-formed polycule directly results in Funfred being noticeably happier. He's nicer to the other animatronics, and to the maintenance team. In fact, the only person he really still hates is William Afton. As a result, others around Funfred become nicer to him. They get to know him better. He's making friends, and he learns to trust them. Old grudges and arguments he's had are settled and resolved. Even when the polycule changes and Monty is added as Melissa's third dating partner, Funfred is doing miles better than before. He's still a sadistic smartass sometimes, and he absolutely is smarter than you if you're human, but he's mostly a fun-loving party bear who loves making people happy.

Oh, but I forgot to mention. No matter what point we are in during Fazbear Estate's timeline, Funfred is always, ALWAYS good with kids. He loves human kids, or animatronic kids like BB and JJ. He's super-sweet and funny with them, able to get on their levels and match their energies with ease... of course, he usually needs Bon Bon's help for when he needs a softer touch, but that's never been a problem! Funfred is actually able to relate to children and gain their trust better than most human adults... something parents at birthday parties definitely noticed and accused Funfred of being "creepy" for. Funfred, however, is totally innocent. He treats all children with kindness, respect, love, and solidarity, sometimes more than a child's own parents do. And the parents Funfred dealt with? Tended to be really shitty.

I would love to go into greater detail about Funfred's relationships with Melissa, Monty, and Glamfred in a separate post, because honestly, this post is long enough as it is.

[fictionkinfessions]

I never thought I'd say this, but I will yell it until the entire world hears me. I miss you, William Afton. I miss being your first friend, your best mate, your son. I miss being each other's shelter from the bombs (they won't come back) and the monsters (look, there's nothing there) and the fathers who beat us (bloody burn him, then.) I miss having a shoulder to cry on, having someone to pull me up to the bridge, having someone to tell me to be brave and be kind and be decent. I miss helping you with your brain (it was always so b-i-t-t-e-r but that wasn't your fault), getting high in the living room, talking about classes and work and the diner, just being and being happy and wanting to live. I miss you, Will. I miss you, Dad. I miss our friends too, but I miss you most of all. Promise.

-Your Michael.

BET

HABIT HEADCANONS

As we all know Habit is literally the embodiment of Man’s intrusive thoughts, HE ATE A BABY

But when it comes to possessing Evan he’s sickly sweet with him. Always having food stocked, healing him from injuries that either Habit caused or Evan did to himself.

The “man” has no pity whatsoever, like none. Even if he lets you go it’s in his interests not yours. He wants to see the world burn to nothing and remake hell with the clay of ashes and tears.

Yes we see him send Noah back to his dimension in “The bridge to nowhere” but not because he felt bad for the wet rat. He knew that something ten times worse was planned for him.

HABIT is a man of trade. Literal trading. He won’t do anything for you unless he gets something out of it. Big demands for a demon that’s shorter than 5’4.

Speaking of which, notice how his height is nearly never brought up? Evan and HABIT share that, do not make fun of Lil’ demon man’s height. While Evan would probably just poke fun back at you HABIT will hack a limb (or two) off.

Keep in mind that this demon brags about making a man’s legs dance in front of him while he bled to death, bro does not care at all.

One thing I like to headcanon for him is that he doesn’t like coffee, yeah I know that’s random. but this is HABIT we’re talking about. The only thing that gets offered is tea in his house.

Actually hates Wendy’s, only goes there because his human needs nom noms to live.

I wouldn’t say he has friends, more like reluctant alliances. Like I said further up, everything is 50/50 (kinda) to him. If you serve any type of purpose for him then he'll see you as a "friend". This could mean any type of purpose though, so be careful with what you offer to him.

I like to headcanon that he actually loves the FNAF franchise also, and while people first think that he'd go for Bonnie, but this man is William Afton all the way.

He's a sickly sweet man, he'd offer wine to the dying to keep them alive for a little longer. If he was a kinnie he'd kin Chucky for shits and giggles.

I’m bored and wanna rant on different Slenderverse characters, but no clue who I should do

Habit would be very tempting

But we need more MlAndersen0

More FNAF AU - Designs

Mike was tan as a teen, as we all know, and he gets that from his mother, who’s a third or fourth generation Italian-American. He tans quickly, and burns rather than peels. After CC’s death, he stayed indoors, resulting in a much paler skin tone, only serving more to make him look like his father. His eyes are a much more concentrated blue than his father’s, and are very pretty. Mike has freckles, mostly on the tops of his shoulders and arms, but they trickle down to the outside of his thighs too, and his shoulder blades. He does have a few on his face, but they’re mostly on his forehead and right cheekbone. His skin tone shifts over his body, areas that crease a lot tend to be more tan, while his chest, thighs, and stomach are more pale. Mike’s hands are larger, like his dad’s, but more delicate, despite their callouses from working with animatronics and doing odd jobs. Mike has a broad build that he inherited from his maternal great-aunt, much like CC. His height is rather similar to William’s, he just looks better proportioned than his father does. Mike has a scar below his left kneecap from falling down some stairs when he was a kid.

William’s hair is a darker brown than Mike’s, and his eyes are grey-blue, with some concentrated blue pigment at the edge of his pupil and the outward edge of his iris. He is also very pale, unhealthily so. This turned more sallow after his wife’s death. William has long, spindly fingers that are also rather large to match the size of his hand, but especially at the fingertips. William is, of course, a very gangly motherfucker. He gets it from his uncle and aunt, who both towered over their family members, much like William would later on.

Mrs. Afton is a third or fourth generation Italian-American, with strawberry blonde hair and vivid green eyes. Her hair color was a result of her parents being blonde and redhaired, the latter of which skipped over to Eli. Mrs. Afton has long, delicate fingers, which helps her play her instrument of choice (still not sure which one). She has a slightly smaller frame than her parent, either mother or father, and is rather lithe. She’s also shorter than William by at least a few inches.

CC got either slightly darker hair than Mike, or slightly lighter hair. He has heterochromia, one eye being hazel, which he inherited from his maternal great-grandparent, either grandmother or grandfather, I haven’t decided yet, and the other being a light blue. He has a light skin tone, which isn’t as pale as William’s, but is still a stark contrast to his mother’s. CC never got to grow up enough to see what his hands would end up looking like, but they were rather small, with one or two crooked fingers from an accident with a car door. CC inherited his maternal great-aunt’s broad build, which wasn’t apparent as a child, but would’ve grown more obvious as he got older.

Elizabeth has flaming red hair, and green eyes that she inherited from her mother. She has William’s skin tone for the most part, but it shifts throughout her body. She also has freckles, the majority of which are across the bridge of her nose. Eli would’ve grown up to have hands that mostly matched her mom’s, but with the bigger fingertips of her dad, and slightly spindly. Elizabeth has a smaller build than everyone else, partially due to age, but partially inherited from her either maternal or paternal grandparent, or maybe great-grandparent, who had a love for dance and wanted to pursue a career in dancing, but was unable to. Maybe they got to do so later in life. (<Changed! Marianne comes from a family of dancers, and Elizabeth inherited her frame from the women born to the family)

Henry has light brown hair, and light skin. His hair is literally like, corduroy coat type color, if you know what I’m talking about. His eyes are brown most likely. He has a rather stocky build, like, kinda dad bod? But also not? Like, slimmer. But he’s built stocky and if he were to plant his feet where he was standing no one could get him to move. I just realized that I unintentionally designed him to mirror Fredbear. He’s either several inches shorter or taller than William. He’s got big hands. Most things about this man are big. After Charlie’s death and William’s disappearance, he slims down a lot. This is because I’m in love with the idea of a big burly man like Henry working on animatronics and enveloping both his kids and William’s kids in ginormous bear hugs. He absolutely used to drag them around. Like, kids hanging on him everywhere, one grabbing onto his arm, another on his back with their arms around his neck (probably Michael), and yet more kids holding onto his side and leg, forcing him to drag them along the ground, with the last kid having their body fully wrapped around his other leg. I’m in love with that idea, but I also adore the slimmer Henry I see a lot of. Henry has a mustache I think, probably ends up shaving it off after the MCs and Mrs. Afton die.

Charlie has much darker hair than her father, but noticeably lighter than William. She has either a somewhat darker skin tone, or a light skin tone. Either way, her skin tone is probably a bit darker than her dad’s. Her eyes are probably green. I’d like to think that Charlie inherited a good bit of her father’s larger build. Imagining a short, stocky little girl toddling around fills my heart with joy. She would’ve had smaller, scarred hands if she had grown up. Her hand scars would’ve been mostly across her palm and the edges of her hand, over turning onto the top of her hand. Many of these would’ve come from childhood whoopsies, but many of the larger ones would’ve come from tinkering with scraps and eventually learning with her father.

Sammy looks a lot like his twin sister, but there are some differences, mainly their eyes. Sammy has heterochromia, his right eye being brown, coming from his father, and his right eye being the same green as Charlie’s eyes.

Judgement Day

Michael Afton Mike Schmidt (& Edgar Bridges at the end-)

Word Count: 596

Warnings: Arson, infidelity mention, poor relationship with father mentions, implied child death.

“Tonight is the night your debt will be paid,” Michael spoke to himself as he doused Fazbear’s Fright with gasoline, not an inch of ground or wall left uncovered. He had worked there for the past week, having finally tracked down his father, plotting his revenge and the freedom of other souls trapped in this accursed place.

For as long as Michael Valerie Afton had lived, his relationship with his father had been less than favorable. When he was a child, William was “too busy” to spend much time with him. And as a teenager, he was flat-out ignored. He acted out in those years, craving, needing some kind of reaction, attention. But it was always Elizabeth who managed to capture William’s time. Michael held no resentment toward her, it wasn’t her fault… in fact, he had gone looking for her when she disappeared and his dreams told him something wasn’t right.

He was severely injured from that incident, but alive enough. If he dropped dead tonight, at least he’d go out knowing he might have rid the world of a cockroach among men. He covered the last of the grounds and stood back, taking the box of matches from his coat pocket. Without hesitation, he struck one of the matches and tossed it onto the gasoline, backing away as the flames rose and entirely engulfed the building within minutes.

“Here lies William Smith Afton’s supposedly immortal soul. The king is dead, long live the queen.” Michael’s bandaged hand went to the photo of his mother in his pocket, the only thing he had left of her. She lived… a life. Not necessarily a happy one, and died of old age. She tried her best for her children, especially after William ran off with a man from work… none of them saw it coming. Valerie was shocked, Michael was as angry as he was before, and Elizabeth didn’t really understand.

He didn’t realize he was shaking with rage until a scream brought him back to reality. Over the roar of the fire, William’s howls and cries for a savior could just barely be heard. Michael began to laugh at William’s pain, a mad sound that didn’t match his demeanor at all.

“This is what you get, you sick son of a bitch!” Michael shouted triumphantly at the smoldering building. He watched as white orbs floated away from the building… the other souls. “Be free!” He called after them.

His laughter died down as he spun in a circle on the cold, hard dirt. Winter was just around the corner, he was lucky to get this done before a snowfall could ruin things. He sucked in a breath as relieved tears rolled down his cheeks. He spat on the ground, gave Fazbear’s Fright a last glance, before walking away. He’d walk for miles, unsure of where he was going… until he’d come to a diner by the time morning rolled around. He’d eat and check-in at a motel, just for the day… he sure as hell needed the rest… his accomplishment didn’t feel real.

Fazbear’s Fright burns to the ground! A new local attraction based on an ancient pizzeria chain has burned down overnight. Authorities have not ruled out foul play, but at the moment have come to the conclusion of faulty wiring and lowgrade ventilation. Very little was found at the scene. The few items that survived the fire will be put up for auction in the coming week.

“We will be reunited once more, bunny.~” / “I will not let you get off so easy, William.”

[sprinqlockdarc]

"I want to make him regret some of his decisions." Its an admission that he's not entirely proud of, but its also not a lie. There's some of a lie in there, but Henry's one of the few men capable of making Afton feel a mixture of contempt and a twinge of regret. He k n o w s that he could make Henry's work a thousand times better, but he also knows how proud the other man is. Fuck. He knows how proud he is, and he understands where Henry's coming from.

He pauses, then turns his attention to Michael again before he readjusts something on the endoskeleton. The whirring stops, and he almost feels the animatronic locking eyes with him. "While we did have a falling out, I don't want his restaurant to entirely fail." He sighs, attention again falling on Toy Foxy.

William notices the similarities between Toy Foxy and Funtime Foxy, and something stirs within him. "Henry's plan is to put Toy Foxy in a room where children play, but the animatronic suit isn't sturdy." The potential for a lawsuit almost makes him reconsider helping figure out the good substitutes for the plastic, but some part of him considers Henry a friend.

"There's a fine line to walk, when you work with others," he says, motioning for Michael to remove his hands from Toy Freddy. William closes the animatronic up, gently wiping the oil from the suit itself. "Don't ever endear yourself to them more than you have to, but don't burn every bridge when you have a falling out."

This is Afton's olive branch.

That's how he is depicted throughout most of popular folklore and bistrious. Hes not known as the incredibly sexy vampire William Afton hes known for the couple years he spent as a blood sucking rabbit creature... He hates it. Yes glad the Fae are mostly dead (They died out after most people stopped believing in making stupid deals with them and getting cursed)

Vampire painters are hard to find and I think William has personally burned every vampire bridge. His ex-wife talked about how much he sucked in all of the vampire parties and hes no longer invited to him...

No he was born before the Roman Empire invaded England like only a couple years. He got to see England form as a concept..

I think Michael was born in the late 15th century and Evan/Elizabeth in the 16th. Also Jeremy finding out that Michael is like 300. years old

Deep down you know that William wants to abandon Utah and buy like a big spooky castle where he can be spooky and terrorize an entire small European village.
