Freddy Krueger angst headcanons

boy do I have so many ideas.

-Freddy had nightmares about his past(I wrote a story about on Tumblr about it).

-Freddy has parental issues.Billy n Stu talk about their issues with Freddy togther.

-When Freddy feels a flashback coming on(if he ever does),he would make sure the people die in it,and if he can't he goes to people who he trusts for comfort.

-Although Freddy usually has a tough persona,he does have emotions(he probably won't admit it but okay) and he does cry at times(albeit rarely).He'll just laugh it off.

-He wasn't one to flinch at pain as a child,since he hurt himself to like it.So he enjoys pain,it's the emotional part that gets him.

-Freddy was a loner back then before he met Billy n Stu.

-If he is dating or in love with you or if he trusts you,it'll take a while for him to explain his problems to you because well,he can't trust anyone.(No one was there for him to trust).

-No kids.Worried about how it'll be like the Katherine situation.

-Make fun of him and he'll kill you,if he doesn't want to kill you,he'll avoid you,like probably at all costs,if he's in a bad mood.If he's in his usual mood,he'll joke along with you.

(Pt.1 is over for now)

September 12- Happy Kruger Day from 2023!!

Late to post because I accidentally Drafted this Repost :’)

Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger

Here me out, at a narrative standpoint, remake Freddy would've been fine if THEY KEPT THE DAMN ALTERNATIVE ENDING AS THE TRUE ENDING. Nancy not only overcoming her trauma against Fred but burning him again in the process was the only redeeming quality in that remake instead of a cheap cutthroat death smh.

Overall yeah, not the best Freddy Krueger I guess, Jackie Earle Haley is still a good actor though.

The Nightmare.

I don't know if I ever said how much I love this handsome man? He took care that l fell in love with that cruel bastard named Frederick Charles Krueger as I watched ANOS secretly at the age of 12 for the first time! I think nobody would have been able to portray Freddy the way Robert did. Robert Barton Englund made me a horror movie fan. I am a proud and loyal second generation Robert Englund fan.

Long story short...I love you Robert Englund 😍

[freddys-brat]

I'd absolutely play that game!

What A Dangerous Game

Don’t ask, I just felt like writing some human Freddy

Human Freddy x Reader

You stood at the window of the local coffee shop and stared into the crowd. It was rush hour around this time, and you had come here just about every day to get your caffeine fix to perk you up for the rest of the day, but of course, you had started to notice a man who wasn’t familiar to you, and you couldn’t help but eye him up whenever he stopped in. Soon, you were aware of his scheduled days to stop into the shop, and you had made sure you were around to see him.

He hadn’t taken notice of you, which was a good thing, yet it still made you feel saddened by the thought. ‘How weird would he think I was, watching him all the time?’ you wondered to yourself. You shook away the sinking feeling in your stomach and walked into the shop, managing to get into the line right behind him. He was taller up close, though shorter than the average man around town, but it didn’t bother you in the slightest. His scent was intoxicating too, you noted. 

Your eyes widened at the thought of sniffing him, what was wrong with you?! You cleared your throat and straightened your posture, and that’s when he turned to you with a slightly confused expression. You were in panic mode now, not knowing why he’d even want to look at you.

“Did you need something?” he asked with a honeyed voice, his face conveying kindness.

“Um, what?” you replied in confusion.

“Oh,” he chuckled and gave you such a beautiful smile, “I had assumed since you had cleared your throat, maybe I had invaded your space or something. My apologies.” 

You looked up at him and couldn’t even string two words together when you noticed his smile, all you did was offer him a nervous laugh. 

“I’ve seen you in here before if I’m not mistaken,” he said.

Oh shit, he has seen you, oh no. “Oh, uh, yeah. I always come here, it’s my usual hangout,” you replied with a shaky voice. You felt your stomach flipping as your nerves were almost fried. He was speaking to you, how crazy was that?

He stepped up to the counter and ordered his drink, so naturally, you listened in to see what it was that he always seemed to get. A tall black coffee, two sugars, and two creams. You smiled as you made the mental image, hoping to buy him that coffee one day. 

After being handed the steaming cup, he turned to you and gave you a wink. “Nice talking to you,” he said softly. 

He walked off, leaving you in a daze as you ordered your usual and stood off to the side. Your eyes followed him as he walked out the door and down the street, seeing him disappear as he rounded a corner. ‘You idiot,’ you scolded yourself. You could have said ANYTHING to him now that you finally had the chance, instead, you blew it. Great job.

You take your coffee and leave the shop, standing outside in the bright sunlight, not wanting to leave just yet, but also wanting to just go home and sulk about the whole situation. As you began to make your walk home, your mind swirled with thoughts of him as you pictured his face and those beautiful bright eyes of his. They held a bit of mystery and you liked that about him.

You had crossed the street and gotten halfway down the block when you had noticed the familiar sweater and leather beige jacket in the distance. He was holding hands with a small girl, her hair up in pigtails as she skipped alongside him and laughed. 

Your heart sank; he had a kid, which possibly led to having a wife. Nothing hurt worse than finding out you had absolutely no shot at all. But the mere thought of him had always made you feel so light, it was all so conflicting now. You made it home and considered not going back to the shop again when he would.

As much as you hated yourself for it, you once again showed up at the coffee shop and sat in the corner sipping on your coffee, waiting just to see him, even if you stopped yourself from talking to him. You should have stayed away, he’s taken and probably happily so, but you couldn’t control yourself as your eyes immediately went to the door and watched him walk in. 

You longed to speak with him again and to smile and laugh without guilt, but your stomach dropped as the image of him hand in hand with the little girl. But there was no harm if you just spoke to him, right? You sighed as you waged a battle with yourself in your chair, your grasp around the coffee cup tightening little by little. If you remained there, he wouldn’t know you were in the shop and he’d leave, so maybe you wouldn’t have to even face him again. 

As you sat there trying to convince yourself to just let it go, that’s when he walked up to you with two coffees in hand and looked down at you with a curious grin.

“Seems like someone is completely lost in thought,” he mused as he took the seat opposite of you and placed one of the cups on the small table that sat in between. “I got you a coffee, hope you don’t mind.”

You looked up at him and smiled, feeling almost to the point of tears. “Thank you, you didn’t have to do that,” you said meekly and placed your now empty cup beside you. “I appreciate it though.”

“Not a problem, I figured you could use the caffeine. You seemed a little out of it today, everything alright?”

With a sigh, you fought the urge to spill out all of your thoughts, but you just looked at him and offered a small smile. “Just a lot on my mind, nothing too serious.” You reached for the cup he bought you as his hand met yours, your eyes quickly meeting his.

“I’m always around if you ever need to talk. I’m Freddy, by the way.”

“A pleasure, I’m Y/N,”

“I’d like to see you more, would you want to have dinner sometime?”

Your mind reeled so quickly and almost stuttered out loud. What about his wife? There wasn’t anyone with him that day besides the child, so maybe it was just him and his daughter, so you hoped that they were separated.

You were playing a dangerous game.

Complete Monstober Day 1: Freddy Kreuger

October is a month for horror and monsters, but this year, I'm putting up (for one day of each month) a different kind of monster: the Complete Monster!

Here's a Complete Monster as defined by TV Tropes:

The Complete Monster is the most depraved of all characters; a villain utterly lacking in redeeming features. Trying to put a value on the evilness of a Complete Monster is like calculating the credit score of Bill Gates: it's a moot point.

Or, anyway, that is how the character is presented in the story. The character is a bad guy, full stop. The author has not taken the character through any actions toward redemption, or at least any that stuck.

The Complete Monster can be recognized by these signs:

The character is truly heinous by the standards of the story, which makes no attempt to present the character in any positive way.

The character's terribleness is played seriously at all times, evoking fear, revulsion and hatred from the other characters in the story.

They are completely devoid of altruistic qualities. They show no regret for their crimes.

(More information can be found here, here, and here.)

We're starting with this bad boy, Freddy Krueger! Here's his entry for the original continuity:

Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger is the dream-invading ghost of a child murderer, who seeks to continue killing. In life, he kept missing children's pictures of his victims in a scrapbook and posed as an unassuming, caring father before his wife discovered the truth; he then murders his wife with no hesitation. When he got off on a technicality, the people of Springwood lynched Freddy, at which point he makes a bargain with demonic forces to become, in his own words, "what nightmares are made of". He uses his newfound powers to find increasingly creative ways to torture and murder his dozens of victims for his own amusement by using their primal fears against them, all the while cracking sick jokes; afterwards, he harvests the souls of his victims and keeps them in a hellish state within his body to draw their power. By the time of The Final Nightmare, Freddy's body count was in the hundreds, reducing Springwood to a child's graveyard and driving the adults into madness. He goes on to taunt a girl by appearing as her sexually abusive father, and even attempts to murder his own daughter Kathryn upon reuniting with her. Freddy makes it clear to Kathryn of his intent to continue his killing spree across the world until he runs out of victims, declaring "every town has an Elm Street." Freddy is one of the few Slasher Movie killers with a distinct and talkative personality, and has always simply been a sadistic monster who extends his victims' suffering for its own sake.

It's Fictional Throwdown Friday!

This Week's Fighters...

William Afton vs Freddy Krueger!

Conditions:

Composite versions of both characters from every continuity and source, including books, video games, crossovers, and other non-canonical materials.

Scenario:

After William inadvertently kills a child that Freddy had been terrorizing and torturing for months now, Freddy pulls him into the dream world to punish him for stealing his kill.

Analysis: Freddy Krueger

Nightmares. Ghost stories your mind tells you as you stir helplessly in bed. Horrible, nonsensical visions formed from mismatched memories and miscellaneous fears. It's the one kind of fleeting terror that is unique to every human being, formed from the minds that they haunt. We're all very lucky they don't mean anything. That we can just get up in the morning and forget all about them. But for the poor kids living on Elm Street in Springwood, Ohio, it's entirely possible that you'll never wake up.

Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger was, by all appearances, a normal, happy family man with a steady job as a power plant technician. Underneath that fascade, Freddy was a callous, sadistic, gleefully brutal child murderer who spent his free time luring elements kids to the boiler room of his plant and... well... killing them was the least of it by the time he was done. With a body count in the double digits, Freddy would earn the title of the Soringwood Slasher, inspiring fear and terror all across Elm Street. When a technicality in court allows Freddy to walk free, the parents of Elm Street team up take him doing, burning his lair to the ground to end his killing spree.

In his last moments, three Dream Demons who ruled the Dream World appeared to Freddy, offering him immortality and absolute power over the Dream World in exchange for Freddy spreading as much chaos and death as he could. Freddy, of course, happily agreed, dedicating his after life to claiming vengeance on his killers and causing as much death as possible. He would attack the kids he couldn't kill in the one place their parents couldn't save them: their dreams.

1, 2, Freddy's coming for you...

As the new master of dreams, Freddy has complete control over the Dream World, and is capable of manipulating its reality to kill his victims in the real world. Freddy can transmute his victims into paper, motorcycles, or bugs, create entire planets made of trash and an entire universe full of stars, throw houses into space with telekinesis, take on any form he wishes, trap his victims in time loops, duplicate himself as many times as he wants, and even pull out your veins to puppet you around like strings. If you can think of it, Freddy can probably do it. As a being of nightmares that feeds on fear and a general massive prick, Freddy relishes in tormenting his victims in creative ways with their worst fears. As such, he can access his victim's minds to draw out their fears, allowing him to mind control people, erase memories, create hallucinations, alter people's perceptions and senses, and even possess you to go on a killing spree in the real world.

So, how do you beat a Slasher whose powers are "Yes"? Home field advantage. If a victim manages to get their hands on Freddy before waking up, they can pull him into the real world. However, this isn't the trump card you might think it is. True, Freddy is now just a rare cooked serial killer with a knife glove rather than a reality warping God, but he's still undead. He's durable enough to survive being set on fire, blown up, and slashed to ribbons and tough enough to go toe to toe with Jason Voorhees. That and, when you kill him, he's just gonna go right back to the Dream World. At most, he'll be out of commission for awhile, though you could hypothetically trap him in the real world to keep him from ever returning. Surprisingly, no one's ever tried that, so we don't have any reason to believe it wouldn't work...

No, the real trick to beating Freddy Krueger is not to fear him. Freddy's power depends on how many people know of and fear him specifically. In his early years, Freddy could disappear entirely if his victims told him to piss off and stopped being afraid. He can even be banished to Hell completely if everyone believes he's dead and gone for good. But, over the years, Freddy has found ways to mitigate this trick. He's possessed his victim's bodies to go on killing sprees in the real world, resurrected serial killers from Hell to kill in his name, and drawn power from that absorbed souls of his victims to negate his reliance on fear. After ten years of killing, Freddy has killed and absorbed the souls of every child in Springwood, giving him enough power to potentially merge both the Dream World, an entire parallel reality, and the real world together into one reality. However, this method has a price. If Freddy sees his own reflection after devouring countless souls, they'll tear him apart from within, potentially destroying him permanently if he doesn't have enough fear to come back from.

Over his long after life, Freddy has had countless run ins with numerous other supernatural beings. He's fought the unkillable legend Jason Voorhees, faced off against the groovy zombie killer Ash Williams, defeated the Dream Warriors, a group of victims that trained their control over their dreams to turn the tables on Freddy, and even starred in a Mortal Kombat tournament against fellow universe busting characters, such as the realm conquering Shao Khan. Dead By Daylight's The Entity, a being whose reach spans the entire multiverse, saw Freddy as such a threat that it felt the need to nerf his powers before taking him on as a servant. In one such run in with Ash Williams, Freddy was able to graft the Necronomicon to his skin, granting himself all his reality warping powers even in the real world and allowing him to reshape the universe to his whims.

Freddy's power is so vast, even the fourth wall can't save you from it. Freddy frequently breaks the fourth wall and serves as a narrator to the audience on his own Goosebumps style TV Show. Yes, Nightmare on Elm Street has a TV Show. It's actually not that bad. Better than Friday the 13th's tv show at least. At least it remembered to have the actual franchise face in the show.

Beyond that, Freddy can even exit his own movies to kill the actors and writers that created him. See, Freddy Krueger the fictional character is actually just the host of an ancient demon out to slaughter mankind. Once the franchise ends and the story of Freddy is over, it'll be able to enter the real world to kill us all.

On that note, the latest Nightmare on Elm Street movie was back in 2010 so... I guess we're all dead now. Sorry if this is how you found out. Freddy Krueger controlling our universe would explain a few things, at least.

For as unstoppable as all of this sounds, Krueger does have some crippling weaknesses. First of all, his cockiness and sadism frequently bite him in the ass. On more than one occasion, Freddy has let his victims escape or even turn the tables because he was too busy dicking around. Within the scope of New Nightmare, Freddy can be recontained by simply writing another story about him to leave him trapped until that story ends. And when fused with the Necronomicon, Freddy will be fighting under a ticking clock, as the Dream Demons will view this as a betrayal of their deal and eventually come to strip Freddy of all his demonic powers, leaving him a mortal man once again.

3, 4, better lock your door...

Because Freddy Krueger is coming for you. Are you afraid?

Analysis: William Afton

Imagine it is your child's birthday. They've just turned twelve and you want to do something special for them, so you take them to their favorite place in the entire world: Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A place for kids and grown ups alike, where they can eat all the pizza they want and watch all their favorite characters dance and sing on stage.

But then you lose track of them for a minute. A stranger lures them into some forgotten backroom, and you never see them again. Imagine never knowing what happened to them, where they went, whether they're even alive. Imagine all the pain of a family broken family, the Agony of a dead child whose body is never found, multiplied by ever Fazbear and Fredbear and Sister Location that's ever been built since the 80s. Decades of disappearances, a mountain of broken lives, and hundreds of children who never got to have a childhood.

William Afton is the physical embodiment of that Agony. Metaphorically and eventually, very literally.

William Afton was once a humble restaurant owner and gadgeteer genius who co-founded Fredbear's Family Diner alongside his best friend Henry Emily. The franchise found modest success in the early 1980s in the state of Hurricane, Utah, but it all came crashing down when William's oldest son, Michael, inadvertently murdered his youngest son, (presumably named) Evan. It's... debatable how William reacted to this. Some say his actions thereafter were inspired by desperate grief. Others say he was driven by nothing but pure scientific curiosity. Regardless, William found himself... inspired by his youngest child's death... and the Fazbear franchise chain would never be the same after that...

William would vow to "put (his son) back together" and begin studying the supernatural substance known as Remnant. Think of it as a mixture of your soul and the memories people had of you when you were alive. William even went so far as to believe Remnant could be used to achive immortality. To the end of studying this substance, William would invent his new Funtime line of sentient animatronics and loan them out to locations all over the country, secretly programming them to abduct and murder children when no one was around so he could study the Remnant they produced. Tellingly, when his own daughter was killed by his creations, William left her soul to haunt his animatronics, leaving her behind to be tortured by his employees with "controlled shocks". If William ever did have a sympathetic motive, it was swiftly slipping in his quest for immortality.

Law enforcement would catch up to William once he started to do the dirty work himself, but he was able to hide the evidence and bodies well enough that he couldn't be convicted, so the ghosts of his victims would do the job for them. William would his in his old Spring Bonnie suit to escape his pursuers, the same outfit that he used to lure children away, which would then crush him to death within its spring lock mechanisms. From there, William would return as the undead monstrosity Springtrap, always coming back to slaughter children anew.

Even when he was alive, William Afton was a living nightmare. He was smart enough to build sentient child killing robots in the 1980s and cunning enough to get away with his crimes and escape legal retribution. Even when he was alive, William could rip the possessed Fazbear animatronics apart with his bare hands and the Springlock suit he's now stuck in has shown to be bullet proof.

Moreover, William has spent years studying the ethereal substance of Remnant in order to understand its effects. With it, he could create illusion disks, devices that could allow him to create hallucinations. In life, he was able to use the device to make a girl hallucinate the death of her pet dog in a video game she's playing and in death, William can freely use his Remnant to create the illusory Phantom Animatronics, which are even powerful enough to tamper with machinery. Some of his illusions are so powerful that they've successfully tricked children into growing old and dying within his laboratory because they were convinced there was no escape, unaware that they weren't in their own homes anymore and that they weren't kids anymore. This is revealed to be the actual premise for the main gameplay of FNAF 4 as revealed in the Tales of the Pizzaplex books. The Twisted Eyes continuity, meanwhile, establishes that simple exposure to Remnant can allow a person to see the dead and even regenerate from getting their head caved in.

The Fazbear Frights continuity goes into more detail about how Remnant works and details the specific type of Remnant Afton uses. More specifically, Agony. The type of Remnant that a being made of Remnant operates on is dependent on the emotions associated with them. As an unrepentant child killer, the sheer amount of evil, death, and pain Afton spread on his life has turned him into something no longer even resembling a human being. He's become a physical embodiment of Agony, a being made of pure human suffering.

Agony in particular is the most powerful type of Remnant out there, making Afton one of those most powerful supernatural beings in existence. Lesser forms of Remnant are powerful enough to create storms that span for miles, with Agony having flat out reality warping effects. William created so much Agony when he was alive that the memory of his atrocities created Agony avatars of himself. The Spring Bonnie creature from Into The Pit, for instance, lurks in a time traveling ball pit that serves as a portal to the afterlife and is capable of replacing its prey in the real world with no one the wiser. Another manifestation was capable of feeding off a man's hatred to... make.... him.... pregnant.... with a little baby Springtrap... that proceeded to rip him apart from the inside out.

...A-hem! While these entities are established to independent of William, they were passively created by his Agony, so he should be capable of using their same powers. Agony beings have been shown to bring inanimate objects to life, gradually transmute people into trash or bubble gum without them noticing, drive people to suicide, and even swap souls to steal a person's body. William himself has been shown to steal people's souls with a touch, escape being trapped in a nightmare within his own rotting body after months of torment from a vengeful spirit, and absorb all of the beings his Agony created into himself to become a giant 14 ft tall mecha Kaiju that would rampage across the city.

Fazbear Frights gets fucking insane guys, you have no idea....

That isn't that insane when you consider Agony is fueled by Zero Point Energy. A single light bulb of which can boil ever ocean on Earth. So, yes, William Afton is a continent buster.

But that's not even discussing the most powerful iteration of Afton... FNAF World.

Within FNAF World, Purple Guy goes on a quest with all other FNAF Characters to kill Scott Cawtheon, Animdude himself, the creator of the entire FNAF Multiverse. FNAF has 4 different continues in total, including the mainline games, the Silver Eyes, Fazbear Frights, and the Movie, equating to four alternate realities Scott has created. Tellingly, William's most powerful attack, Slasher, hits hard enough to nearly obliterate Animdude in one hit.

With William's FNAF World moveset, he csn bolster his speed, transmute enemies into weaker enemies, and summon mechanical helpers, Chips and Bytes, to aide him in combat. These mechanical critters can protect Afton with forcefields, land instant kill attacks, and protect William from attacks that enduce instant death, among many others.

But, ultimately, William's most powerful tool is his willpower. He Always Comes Back, regardless of what his thrown at him. William has escaped being trapped inside of never ending nightmares by Golden Freddy and Andrew, survived Fazbear Frights burning down on top of him, and beat Ultimate Custom Night. As a being made of Agony, William will always return. He's achieved his goal of immortality and now seeks nothing more than to cause death and chaos.

William started out as the Man Behind the Slaughter, but now he's graduated into something far worse.

Throwdown Theme:

Throwdown Breakdown:

This..... is a complicated one....

Both of these characters can so freely manipulate time and travel through time that speed is effectively irrelevant, but power is a bit more complicated. Both characters can scale up to universal creation and merging feats, such as Animdude creating the FNAF World universe and Freddy having complete reality altering control over the Dream World, an entire universe parallel to our own. In Krueger's corner, crossovers make his universe busting levels of power more consistent, such as from scaling to Shao Kahn, who can merge Realms together, and The Entity, who created a universe sized realm for its killers to hunt in, whereas Afton really only has FNAF World to stand on for universal. Boiling all the worlds oceans is impressive, but Freddy creating planets or becoming the moon easily surpass it. Not that this really matters in a composite scenario.

Both characters have the abilities that can feasibly end this contest instantly. Freddy's are fairly obvious, due to his reality warping nature. Even in Fazbear Frights, where William is the physical embodiment of agony, Afton doesn't have the same special immortality Krueger has, though some of his Agony would still remain to create more monsters after his death. Freddy could very easily rip Afton apart with his worst fears, read his mind to figure out Remnant's weakness to fire and burn him to a crisp, or trap him in a time loop of Ultimate Custom Night 2.0. But, Afton has some ways around Krueger's immortality. Both characters, for instance, can win by transmuting their opponents into harmless critters or messing around with their mind.

Take William's illusions, for instance. They're so effective and powerful that children never realize they're growing old and dying while being tormented by the Nightmare Animatronics. Freddy for all of his power has never shown a resistance to any mind altering attacks or illusions, let alone ones this powerful. His ability to go "lol no" to the problem and will it away relies on him realizing there's a problem at all. If William makes him think he's trapped in an endless nightmare that his powers can't free him from, he's gonna stay there. William's transmutation ability, manly the Hocus Pocus power from FNAF World, nullifies all of an enemy's abilities by turning them into a weaker enemy with none of their original powers. This is something we know for a fact would work on Krueger, because it's how he's died in two seperate continuities where he's been permanently killed. Being transformed back into an ordinary man. Both of which involved Ash Williams, for some reason.

Freddy Krueger definitely has a lot more experience under his belt than Afton. He's been slaughtering people in their dreams for over 10 years now and he's fought against other supernatural beings, such as Jason Voorhees, Ash Williams, and the Mortal Kombat cast. Afton, in most canons, spends most of his time as Springtrap imprisoned somehow and what few fights he gets into have him get dunked on. Such as how the Puppet just straight up one hit killed him in his kaiju form in Fazbear Frights, or how Golden Freddy and Andrew trapped him in a prolonged nightmare for months in two different canons. Sure, he eventually escaped, but there's no guarantee Freddy would give him that chance. He's just as likely to shove you in a Bugs Bunny trap as he is to turn your skin inside out.

I do think that William is overall smarter however. He's a scientific genius whose been studying Remnant for years. He invented sentient animatronics before Tickle Me Elmo was invented. To his credit, Krueger has been rules lawyering his way around the limitations of his own powers for a long time... it's just that those plans tend to backfire in the long run. Such as his idea to bring Jason Voorhees back from hell, only for Jason to not stop killing once he wasn't needed anymore.

The biggest showing of this difference in how they spent their mortal lives. Freddy only got away with murder due to a bureaucratic fuck up. Afton got away with it due to being smart enough to hide the evidence, with no bodies around to convict him with.

Similarly, both of them tend to screw themselves over with their own bloodlust, which has, in some canons, even resulted in their deaths. Take William being led into Henry's death trap with the promises of more children to burn or getting killed by the ghosts of his victims because he felt the need to rip them apart. Krueger, however, lets his cockiness get the better of him even against other supernatural beings. He dicked around fighting Jason Voorhees in the Dream World and wound up having to fight him in the real world. Or the time he played around with the powers of the Necronomicon too long and got all his powers taken away at the last second before he could kill the heroes. For all his faults, Afton knew to tread carefully against other supernatural opponents, carefully luring and ambushing the animatronics for example, so I could see him going for the kill first. Buuuuut, that could just as easily work against him. If Afton tries to steal Freddy's stolen souls, then Krueger could see him as a threat and deep fry him on the spot.

All of William's advantages here have come at slight margins, and they're against an opponent who is far more experienced, versatile, and creative than he is. It really could go either way depending on who does what. The thing that juuuuuuuust gives me enough confidence to cast a verdict here is their metafictional fuckery.

Afton's fourth wall breaking is better than Krueger's. Freddy relies on the story he's in coming to an end to escape and even when he got that chance, he didn't succeed to killing his own author. In fact, New Nightmare establishes Freddy is quite weak to metafiction because its an adequate way to keep him contained. Compare to William who did successfully kill his own author and survived the complete collapse of his reality in doing so. If the battle does go to meta territory, than William has the edge due to being able to actually breach those boundaries under his own power, without being actively contained by it like Krueger is.

This might be the one instance in which a character lost because they were composited. Combining all the Kruegers gave Afton the weaknesses he'd be able to exploit to win. It made Freddy specifically weak to fourth wall breaks, gave him a time limit due to the Necronomicon, and established a fatal weakness to Afton's ability to transmute people. Oh, and Freddy still uses the power glove while William's in VR, just for the final nail. FNAF does what Ninten-don't, I guess.

This is a narrow verdict that could easily swing the other way depending on who does what and when, but, by a hare, Afton is my last bet.

Just be glad William's win conditions didn't involve getting Freddy pregnant.

This Throwdown's Winner is...

William Afton!

Theory

Aight so,yall ever think about that one scene in scream where there was the janitor?AND HE LOOKED LIKE FREDDY(but with long hair?)

That gives me a new theory for the Craven boys AU.Here it is:

-One of Freddy's jobs before working at the BRT,he was a janitor at Woodsboro High.Not many children talked with him because he was known as creepy? However,in this AU Billy and Stu have interacted with him before and make good friends with him.Hell they even go off in lunchtime to talk with Fred for advice,or maybe murder shit.Sometimes they all watch movies together too.

-However Fred had to leave and go back to Springwood for a better job.This led to Stu and Billy being saddened about Freddy leaving,since they could be their real selves with him.Years later,Freddy's Dead(pun intended) and is now the Dream Demon people fear,Stu and Billy are either dead or alive (I havent got to that part yet.)

-Anyway,it took some time for the three to realize,"Oh damn you're the janitor/you're the kids that I used to hang out with." and then they all get together and kill.If they're dead,they just hang out in the Dream World with Freddy cuz WHERE THE FUCK CAN THEY GO?(Billy can go to reflections,I guess).However if they're alive,they either bring Freddy into the real world or they sleep,being bitches until they gotta wake up.

-Then they meet the other slashers,and now they all live in a house filled to the brim with murderers.Hooray(we're all dead.)

Are you hiding something in your hair?

Freddy's reaction to his gf getting one of those shitty sexualized female freddy costume as a joke and wearing it?

This is a priceless ask and I’m happy you sent this in 😂👌🏻

Freddy knew your favorite time of year was Halloween, and all you could talk about leading up to the big day was what costume you were going to wear. You had changed your mind over a dozen times, each one being more expensive or extravagant than the last, but he knew better than to call you on your bullshit. He nodded his head when you said you were finally set on a costume for the big day, and you punched him in the arm for barely listening. “Then I guess you’re not interested in seeing me in it,” you remarked with sass.“I mean, I’d rather see you in nothing at all, but-”That warranted another punch, but all he did was laugh at your feeble attempt to injure him. “Fine, I won’t tell you.” The next day was Halloween, and you had excitedly hurried to your closet and found your costume for the year, your eyes gleaming with mischief as you set it down on your bed and began to prepare your makeup. You knew there would be a 50/50 chance that your boyfriend would either absolutely despise it or find it hilarious, but either way, you were committed to wearing it. As the day winded down, you kept on your costume and made sure to fall asleep wearing it, and then you appeared in the familiar boiler room setting. With a proud smile, you walked along to meet Freddy, and once he caught sight of you, silence took over. He stared at you while he took in your costume: the overly long sweater dress, tears here and there among the collar and dangerously close to the chest, the black sheer tights with the rips across the thighs, your lace-up boots, and the damn replica plastic glove. “You have GOT to be kidding me,” he scoffed, but then suddenly you were greeted with a fit of laughter. What he found amusing is that they actually made shit like that for people to wear. The costume idea itself was entertaining, but dressing up as a slasher was even funnier. His eyes wandered over your chest and your legs, which were rather exposed. He was still chuckling to himself as he walked closer, getting in a really good look at the costume you sported. They did a good job on it, he’d give them that, but the way it clung to your body was something he appreciated more than the costume itself. “So you don’t like it?” you asked with q smile. “I honestly thought you would since you’re so self-absorbed.” “I never said I didn’t like it,” Freddy purred as he walked behind you, pressing himself against your back, “but right now, you need to take it off.”

One fleeting moment

Glen Lantz x Male Reader

“Shirt and tie.” Y/N smiled brightly at Glen. “You must be turning heads left and right.”

“Something tells me you didn't come to the police station to flirt with the sheriff,” Glen said.

“I wish this was my way of trying to rekindle our high school spark, but it's not.” Y/N looks Glen in the eye. The boy next door, literally. The first and only boy that Y/N has ever loved. The boy who was almost killed by Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger. The Bastard son of 100 maniacs.

This was the hardest thing Y/N was going to ask of Glen, but he had to ask him. Kristen and the other Elm Street kids’ lives depended on it. Almost like he was reading his, Glen looked a bit nervous. “He’s back, isn't he? Freddy's back.”

Y/N bit down on his lower lip. He never expected to face that monster again, and he was probably a fool for assuming that Freddy was dead and gone, but that wasn't the truth at all. He was back and stronger than before. “Yes, he is. I don't expect you to help Nancy and me, Glen, but I need you to talk to my father and find out where Freddy's bones were hidden. It's the only way to stop him, and hopefully, it will stay that way.”

“Y/N I–”

The sound of Y/N’s pager beeping cut Glen off as Y/N glanced down and looked at the message. It was from Nancy. They were going into the dream world to rescue Joey and help Kristen.

“I have to go,” Y/N turned to leave, but stopped and turned back to Glen. “If I don't make it back, Glen. Take care of the kids and Nancy for me.”

“Y/N, what are you saying?”

Instead of answering, Y/N grabbed Glen’s face and pulled him close as he placed a hard kiss onto his lips, as he poured everything into it. Teenage love, lust, passion, all of it. Y/N pulled away from Glen and turned back and called over his shoulder. “I love you, Glen,” he ran out of the police station.

Glen was still shocked by the kiss as he stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the glass doors. He traced his lips with his fingers, feeling Y/N’s lips still lingering on his. “I love you too, Y/N,” Glen whispered to himself. If only he knew that he’d never get the chance to tell Y/N that, as he would die protecting his sister and Kristen from Freddy.
