Thoughts for your consideration: a Michael who's so unused to being treated like a person that he has no idea at all how to respond to people being kind or comforting or even just. Acknowledging that he has thoughts and feelings?

Ik this sounds like an angsty concept but it's intended to be the start of things that are happy for him. Like he's given the chance to have positive interactions with someone (ghosts? henry? does he manage to secure a standard human friend somehow? fuckin helpy?) and yea he short circuits in the short term but in the long term he's way better for it and kind of learns from experience how he can express his own feelings and things which allows him to feel less isolated

#imagine how inherently isolating his whole situation is. like even if he was emotionally stable #(which he's definitely not when i write him)#he is chasing down his serial killer dad and trying to release the trapped souls of kids stuck in animatronics #including his sister who went missing when he was just a kid and the brother he himself killed #like. who the fuck do you even talk to about that.#i don't think the afton family would've been religious but maybe he just traumadumps to a catholic priest in a confessional #since they're not supposed to disclose anything and he wouldn't have to ever see them again #unlike a therapist who would immediately assume he's experiencing psychosis #anyway this was originally gonna be abt scooped mike and the inherent dehumanization of rotting alive but #with his background i can see him being like this even as a kid honestly #fnaf #mike's stuff #michael afton #writing process blogging
