#yes I’m making an au for the afton family leave me alone

[animationismycomfort]

hey guys I have a serious question here

and everyone knows to answer a serious question is through POLLS

so



[oc-x-canon-chaos]

Finally making an intro post. Hi

Sup. I’m a cringey little weirdo and I like Vocaloid, as you can tell from my profile picture. I am autistic and rely on imagining fictional characters to help me handle tough stuff in my life. Keep that in mind if you talk to me.

I do not tolerate ship discourse. I don’t care if you’re pro or anti, if I don’t like the ship, I’m blocking you. Im curating my experience, and my experience says no to basically every popular ship. If you don’t like that, this isn’t the blog for you, the only ship stuff I’m reblogging is me x my F/O. I think “pro ship” people are childish and immature, so if you unironically call yourself that, leave me alone and touch grass, but I’ve also had people say I’m a bad person for self shipping with a video game villain, so like. Extremists on either side DNI. I will block you. Fyi, I WILL block and report adults who self ship with minors. ESPECIALLY if the character isn’t aged up. I know there’s nuance to aging up characters if they naturally sue over the course of their story or whatever, but if the character is a kid and your s/I is an adult it grosses me out and it’s creepy af.

I also block people whose self ships are purposefully abusive. It feels like you’re romanticizing abuse and idc if it’s a coping mechanism, it makes me uncomfortable and I’m controlling MY experience. I’m fine with “sharing” F/Os, as long as you aren’t shaming my headcannons while you do it. I’m not gatekeeping Megurine Luka from everyone ever, I just don’t want to get harassed because you don’t like the pet name I think she’d use for me. Im a polyselfshipper, so all the fictional characters I’m “dating” are with me at the same time. Right now, I only have two romantic F/Os, and they aren’t dating each other. Most of my F/Os are platonic or familial. If I’m posting about an underage character, assume they’re my imaginary adopted child. I’m not being gross about them, I promise. I love interacting in reblog games! I might make some of my own!

My F/Os include:

Megurine Luka. She’s a romantic/queerplatonic partner of mine, and she’s very sweet. I imagine she’s with me to help when I’m in a crowded situation or experiencing anxiety— she is an idol, after all, and she’s used to crowds!

Springtrap. Yes, that Springtrap. He’s a queerplatonic/romantic partner. He’s here to make me feel like I have someone strong and scary on my side, to defend me. On the other side, I show him how to be a person again, by taking care of my needs. It’s a real “I can fix him” situation.

Hatsune Miku. She’s a platonic/best friend F/O. She helps with my self esteem, and makes me feel a loved and appreciated. Also, she’s Miku. There are no cons of imaginary best friend Miku.

Elizabeth Afton. Before anyone gets concerned, she is a familial F/O. I see her as my adopted kid. She helps me feel like I can protect and care for someone, and that I’m not irresponsible enough to let her get Circus Baby’d.

Withered Chica! She’s like my daughter and I love her so much. I think the official lore is that me and Springtrap adopted her (in my self ship AU, he’s separate from William, he just has his soul, so he wasn’t technically responsible for that happening to her)

Kaai Yuki. She’s another fictional adopted child of mine. I want to keep her safe!

Lacey from Lacey’s games. She’s another adopted kid F/O, I just want her to have a happy life, and imagine I rescued her and am helping her grow up and move through her trauma.

Mr. Plant and Argos from the World of Mr. Plant! They’re platonic/friend F/Os. I just like to imagine that I’m hanging out with them in the Void.

Gumi. she’s Gumi.

Howl (from howl’s moving castle). we have chemistry but we aren’t, like, together or anything, I just like thinking about him. I guess he’s my celebrity crush F/O!

There are a few others, but these are my main F/Os!

Some images that remind me of them ⬇️

[princess-of-the-corner]

Okay we've dropped into FNAF lore and I'm making a sort-of-AU type thing where I'm slapping together stuff I like into a semi-comprehensive narrative.

This is mostly kind of like. A story /based on/ the events of series rather than me trying to keep each and every incident if that makes sense? Some games do not quite fit and overall I'm condensing some other stuff. And yes you can tell that I liked 'Silver Eyes' and 'Security Breach' best.

Here we go:

Starting at the beginning: Henry Emily and William Afton team up to create 'Fredbear's Family Diner'. Both have their own little families. Henry has a wife and two kids, twins Charlie and Sammy. William has his own wife and three kids, Michael, Elizabeth, and Evan.

They create the Springlock Suits. Though Henry is the main robotics engineer while William is the more business-side of the duo, both have skill in that field.

At some point, for various reasons, William kidnaps and kills Sammy. Not sure why yet. It might be jealousy of Henry becoming more 'the face of the company', maybe his own marriage is falling apart, and also given later stuff, he might just be a little not right and gave into that 'child killer' urge. He does manage to keep that urge to just Sammy though. For now.

William is not suspected of the murder, and gets away with it. It's assumed that Sammy's killer must have been some rando who came by the diner to grab any child they could get, and is probably long gone.

Distraught, Henry's wife leaves him and their remaining child. Henry and the Aftons move from New Harmony to Hurricane. Both work on making the new restaurant, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Both have their own workshops, which the kids have been in, but Henry made the animatronics currently in the restaurant. Afton is mostly making other ones but.... killing one kid already.... he starts to make upgrades to the animatronics that could let him get away with it again.

Despite their parents knowing each other, their kids are barely aware of each other. The Afton kids are all different ages, with Michael and Evan both being a few years older/younger than Charlie. Elizabeth is closest in age, but both have their own classmates at school that they end up getting along with. So they don't talk much.

At some point, The Bite happens. Michael, in being a bratty older sibling teasing Evan about being a crybaby, shoves him close to an animatronic and.... well. Ya know. Evan initially survives, but later dies in the hospital. Though everyone is horrified, it's labeled an accident and the restaurant stays open.

Elizabeth, missing her little brother and feeling ignored by everyone else because they're focusing on their own grief, sneaks into her father's workshop despite how he always told her to never go in alone. Predictably, as the animatronics were made to kidnap/kill kids for William, she dies to one when their 'this child is alone' program kicks in.

Officially, Elizabeth is the first 'missing child'. Though William finds out what happened, he can't say 'yeah she went into my hidden workshop of murder animatronics'. So he says she must have run away from home, and is now lost! (Michael might also find out, but is sworn to secrecy and doesn't tell anyone out of fear and guilt.)

William goes off the deep end and goes back to killing children directly instead of using the planned animatronics. Five children die and are stuffed in the animatronic suits, hoping to shift suspicion to Henry. The bodies are eventually found when they begin rotting in the suits.

Both Henry and William are questioned, but they are released for current lack of evidence. The cops would be investigating them more later.

Knowing he'll be caught if the cops search his home, William skips town. Henry realizes that William was definitely behind this, and is also who killed Sammy. Full of grief and guilt over having been friends with William and inadvertently helping him, Henry commits suicide.

Henry's sister Jen gains custody of Charlie, taking the child away from Hurricane. William's wife, though cleared of suspicion, files for divorce and leaves Hurricane with Michael.

At some point in the next decade, William does come back to Hurricane and tries to get into the old restaurant. He does, is cornered by the Ghosts, and hides in the Springlock Bonnie suit and gets fucked up when it malfunctions. He manages to survive.

Ten years after the spree in the Pizzeria, Charlie comes back to Hurricane. The events of Silver Eyes happens, with her meeting her old friends, them breaking into the restaurant, the animatronics being haunted and trying to kill them out of fear until they recognize their old friends, William showing up and getting killed by the Springlocks.

Charlie, having inherited her father's interest in robotics and not quite satisfied with how things ended, decides to go all in. Recreating her father's vision of Freddy Fazbear's without a murderous co-owner. Even using parts from the old animatronics to create new ones in their image.

She soon discovers that all Spirits are still there. Both the kids, and William Afton.

Charlie pauses her business for a bit discusses options with anyone with knowledge of Ghosts, and does what she can to balance things out. She makes sure the kids' Spirits know that she will do everything in her power to keep more kids from suffering the same fate, and that appeases them enough to move on from possessing the Animatronics.

She makes sure William can't possess them either. The original Springlock suit is destroyed, and future Animatronics have more and more stuff added to them. Some is Magic embedded in their coding, to keep William from possessing them directly. Other stuff is there to make sure children would be safe from any other sketchy fucks trying to harm them.

Now for what Michael did after he and his mom left: She tried to raise him like a normal kid. But he was traumatized as hell by everything that happened, and believed it was his fault. That it was his responsibility to stop it from happening again. Obvs his mother didn't let him go investigate things, scared that he'd be a bit too much like his father.

But once Michael is an adult, she can't stop him. So he starts looking into things, trying to find his father to finish this. And one place he looks is his father's old workshop in Hurricane.

The animatronics are still active, automated systems keeping them repaired. But 'Circus Baby' is the only one with a consciousness because of Elizabeth. She's... a little crazy as she only had the other (not possessed) Animatronics for company. And she doesn't recognize Michael, because it's been over a decade and he was like 10 when she last saw him while now he's in his early 20s.

Circus Baby recreates herself as Ennard, and uses his body to roam. But this doesn't last long because his body begins to rot. Michael is still also possessing his own body, the two kind of fighting for control.

They realize they need help, because this isn't going to work long-term. Elizabeth still wants to stick around, feeling guilty for killing Michael and cursing him to being this. Michael himself is still feeling guilty for everything, and wants to find their father to end it.

Somehow, they end up finding out about Charlie. Which leads to them trying to meet her. Explaining who they are and what they are is difficult, but she understands. She very much understands.

Though Charlie would prefer if they moved on, as they're dead, she understands them sticking around. So she does what she can to make them more functional. Creating animatronics that are specifically for them to possess, but look much more normal than the other ones she made.

And they do stick around. Elizabeth has knowledge and skill picked up from being stuck in her father's lab for years, so she helps maintain the other Animatronics. Michael is head of security. Always looking for any kind of dangers to the children. Whether it be from William's Ghost itself, from other people who would cause harm, or just making sure the kids themselves can't cause harm. (Makes sure that if another kid sticks their head in an animatronic, it will shut down before hurting them)

Though they do hire other staff at Freddy’s. Some workers come and go, but the one that sticks with them is a security guard. Jimothy ‘Phone Guy’ Deacon. He was skeptical of some things the others said and did, but he knows better now. He might not have asked for all the details, but he knows that if the other three tell him to do something, he better fuckin do it. 

Over the next while, they keep doing what they doing. Charlie and Elizabeth working on the animatronics themselves, with Michael as Security.

The business grows. From a small restaurant to the giant pizzaplex. And there are some... unexpected side effects. Such as some of the Animatronics coming to life for real.

Now, the smaller bots? The security ones and the janitors and the like? Those are still robots.

But the ones Charlie has put her all into? The ones who still have a few parts salvaged from the originals that she saw as Family? Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy? The ones she would later make like Roxy and Monty? Those ones become Real.

At some point, Charlie and Michael talk. Michael confesses how he feels like everything is his fault. He accidentally killed his little brother, which made Elizabeth sneak into the lab and get killed too, and that triggered their father to murder other children.

Charlie gets real quiet, before telling him about Sammy. How William had already killed before anything Michael did. How Elizabeth died because the animatronics were designed to kill kids, and had been made before Evan's death.

It's not his fault. Yeah, he did something stupid. But nothing that happened after was his fault.

Eventually, despite everything, we get to Security Breach where we have the Pizzaplex and all the animatronics and these three. They've been doing great on keeping William's Spirit from possessing the Animatronics.

However, they forgot about him possessing people. To be fair, so did his crusty ass for a wile.

He gets through to Vanessa. Possessing her to either directly kidnap kids, and hacking into the animatronics to drop their anti-possession firewalls to do it that way.

Vanessa has no clue she thinks she's just blacking out sometimes. She doesn't think it's connected because it's not like 'oh I black out and a kid is gone' she is just getting blackouts and there doesn't seem to be a trigger to it. So while she mentions it to her bosses in case it becomes a health hazard, no one connects the dots.

Now, Charlie, Elizabeth and Michael are fucking panicking. They're trying to figure out who is doing what, and are being vigilant as hell. But checking the security guards they already did rigorous background checks on before hiring? Not a thought in their minds.

But they have caught the animatronics acting a little strange. So they know it's definitely William's involvement but how?

They know if they shut down, William will disappear and they won't get to the bottom of it. Michael is more active during the day, keeping an eye on anyone and anything that is suspicious. Charlie and Elizabeth make something up about the animatronics needing repairs, and drag Bonnie and Foxy to their own lab to try and see what it is that William is using to get in.

The animatronics don't remember much, but are trying to help(just like Canon Glamrock Freddy). At least until William takes over again.

Meanwhile, we get to the night with Gregory.

Gregory showed up during the day, but Vanny/Possessed Vanessa grabbed him. He did manage to escape and hide in Freddy, but he's trapped in the Pizzaplex until morning(Almost said 'until dawn' lmao wrong game!)

The night switches between when it's Vanessa or Vanny looking for him. As during the one part where Vanessa catches him, she just takes him to the office. That's actually Vanessa when she's not possessed and is just doing her job and is frustrated that another kid might have disappeared and that whoever did it might still be in the building. She's trying to help. Obvs, Vanny is not.

The other animatronics are currently possessed, but Freddy isn't. This is because the earlier glitch had him reboot. Specifically, rebooting to an earlier version that has it's firewalls still put up.

Instead of wrecking the other animatronics, Gregory and Freddy have to kinda fight them a little until they can hack back and reboot their systems. Then they join the party.

Now the finale would have to be a clusterfuck of. Uh. Preforming an exorcism on Vanessa. Bonus for Charlie, Elizabeth, and Michael realizing that William was working through a /human/ and sprinting back to investigate and finding Gregory and the animatronics.

So Vanessa is fucking horrified but even Gregory knows it wasn't her fault. Everyone else is just like 'welcome to the family'. To both of them tbh. Ceremonial burning of the Vanny costume.

Literally adopting Gregory happens when someone tries to ask about where he is and who his parents are. And he just. Yeah doesn't have anyone(or anyone he does have is worth risking death by animatronics). Charlie is the most mentally okay of all of them(and. Ya know. Only three of them are legally 'alive',) so hey new baby!

Post-game would involve family shenanigans, with the adults looking into 1.) anti-possession on Humans, and 2,) ways to get rid of William's Spirit for good.

Sick

Summary: William didn't understand why Henry was rushing out the door with Michael tucked under his arm. He did understand one thing though: he never felt more sick in his life.

Tw: lots of cursing from Henry in the start, self-hatred, self-harm, mentions of the desire to puke, thoughts of suicide, kinda panic attack but not detailed, knife, child death mention, child murder mention, very bad time for Willy man (tell me if i miss any please)

Notes: it's been a while since I've written a vent fic but here we be with Willy as my target. There is no read more as I'm on mobile sorry ! This is from Will's pov also and he thinks he's in the right so be wary

This is taking place after Will has killed Elizabeth and Charlie and Henry figured out what he was doing. He is not excused for his actions; what he did was fucked up. I merely wanted to write a quick vent thing and thought why not share more info about my au while I'm at it (it's not edited a lot so it might be messy btw). Also for those who don't know Will and Henry are husbands

Also: Charlie and Elizabeth are the only victims so far and since they're only mentioned, i didn't tag them (same with michael given he's there like twice with no development)

---

Slam.

"Henry. Henry ! Where are you going !?"

"Where the fuck do you think ? Away from you !"

"I-I don't understand-"

Henry had just slammed shut another car door, finishing in securing the few valuables and Michael he swiped from the house in his silent rampage before whipping his head towards Will. Will flinched back having never seen such rage in his husband's eyes before. He even subconsciously began to press himself into the still open front door's frame as Henry stomped his way towards Will's own shaking frame.

"How dare you," Henry spat, a finger close to jabbing Will's chest, "How fucking dare you say that after what you did."

"Please, I don't-"

"I know what you did, William. Don't even try to lie to me, you goddamn snake !" He lingered only a second longer before quickly walking back to the car as if Will's presence alone would infect him with some horrid disease.

Right as he opened the driver side door, he looked Will in the eye and said with a dead tone, "You disgust me, Afton."

The final slam of the door did nothing to help Will's messy mind. He felt he couldn't move at all as he stared at the car setting itself into motion. His eyes burned and chest hurt and seeing his little Michael stare back at him with such tearful eyes made him feel like he was collapsing.

Will wasn't sure how long he stared at the empty driveway wishing he'd wake up any second now. Deep down he knew he couldn't be dreaming as the prickling pain in his hands and face from the freezing air grew worse every passing minute. He finally slowly stumbled back into the quiet home when he couldn't tell if his shaking body was from his crumbling mind or the cold. Numb, twitchy hands struggled to properly close the door before what just occured finally sunk in.

He collapsed.

Then.

He screamed.

It wasn't of anger but of anguish as he felt the tears he tried to keep at bay, rush down and burn his cheeks. Nothing made sense.

What did he do wrong ? Why was Henry so upset ? Why did Henry take Michael like that and leave him all alone ?? Everything he did was for them ??? He didn't understand ??? Wh y ????

Was it because he didn't have an answer ? He just needed more time ! Science required time and experiments ! He didn't want to take Eli and Charlie ! But he had to ! He had to make his family whole again ! He was just doing what no one else would do. He was making things right.

So why did Henry look at him with such disgust ?

He felt sick. His brain seemed to scream at him that he needed to throw up despite his body denying so. He wasn't gagging at all but he clutched at his stomach at the seemingly ever increasing desire to empty its contents. The bad needed to come out. He needed to get. It. Out.

He barely even registered that his body was moving as his thoughts raced and clashed desperate to find an answer to the swirling questions and stomach's desires. His feet dragged themselves to the kitchen, and his jittering hand grasped at the first knife it could manage to pry from the block resting on the counter.

He'd make things rights. Yes yes. He could still make it better ! He didn't have his answers but he'd do this for Henry. To make him happy. Just as Henry always wanted especially in the past months.

The knife stung a bit as it slid across his scarred wrist but it was merely a shallow cut. Not deep enough. The knife was reset once more and he could feel the greater pressure he placed upon it but it didn't move.

He stood like that for several long seconds but he couldn't do it. He was too scared. A great frustration welled inside his body at this apparent weakness. How could he make his family happy and whole again if he couldn't even do something as simple as this ?

He threw the knife down with as much force as he could but it didn't sate the ever increasing need for destruction now bubbling under his skin. Scarred hands tangled themselves in his hair that fell on his shoulders and upper back; it was greasy and unwashed like the rest of him. The feeling only made him feel sicker. Weaker.

Before he knew it, his hands scrambled for the scissors from the knife block. He had to relieve the feeling in his stomach before he actually puked and showed how pitiful he was.

Snip. Snip. Snip

He should be using a mirror, but he didn't care at this point. He needed it off and he need it off now. The blades swept wherever they pleased and were constantly in motion, taking out any of the offending strands in its way.

It honestly didn't take long before he deemed the problem taken care of even if it felt like hours had passed. It wasn't too short if he had to guess, nothing too close to the scalp at least, but his hair hadn't been this short since his college days. The same scarred hands ran through the uneven locks, collecting loose cut strands in their exploration of what he had done.

The destructive feelings from before began to quiet down; trembling body collapsing in the mess of hair and small spatters of blood.

He'd fix this yes. But he'll do it through his work. Henry was just upset at the lack of an answer is all so he'll give him an answer. He'll run so many test. He'll gain so much data. Then he'll come back and they'll be happy again. It has to work. It has to.

Despite his resolve and the feeling of his body slumping to the cold floor from exhaustion...

He still felt sick.

[For y'alls consideration... I propose an atla au]

"Mike, we really shouldn't be down here..."

"Relax, Scottie, I made sure we wouldn't be followed!" Mike assured his twin as they walked down the corridor, path dimly illuminated by the fire that sparked from Mike's palm. "This'll be great, just trust me!"

"The last time you said 'just trust me', Father nearly banished us." Scott snarked, staying close to the other while he observed the walls around them. Stone carvings lined each wall, a level of detail that almost made the prince stop to admire them... if they weren't currently trespassing. "And if that was over a simple prank, imagine what he'll do of he catches us in the Fire Sage's Sanctuary!"

"He won't find out, alright? Besides, even it he does..." Mike trailed off, finding themselves in front of a large metal door. "... He'll understand why we're doing this."

"The Fire Lord will understand why his own family went behind his back to snoop through sacred documents." Scott's voice dripped with sarcasm, and he stepped to the door. He carefully reached for some of the handles and gave it a light tug, sighing when it refused to budge "Oh darn, it's locked, can we go now?"

Mike rolled his eyes, pulling a key from his pocket and waving it in front if Scott before inserting it into the lock on the door.

"... You stole the keys to the archives."

"I prefer the term 'borrowed'."

"Prince Michael David Afton!" Scott yelled, only to cut himself off and glance around nervously, afraid to make too much noise. "... We're going to be killed for this, I hope you know that."

"You didn't have to accompany me, you know. You can turn around and leave at any point." Mike smirked, knowing Scott was too stubborn to admit he was going to stick with Mike no matter what. Satisfied with shutting the other up, he pushed the door open. "The ends justify the means, as they say."

"... Michael, that's not- that's not a statement of fact, that's a legitimate argument surrounding the morality of horrendous actions taken by-"

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Mike huffed, waking a hand dismissively as he entered the archives. Hundreds of books and scrolls surrounded them, but only one was what Mike was looking for. "Listen, the next Avatar is to be born of the Fire Nation, right? So if anyone knows who it is, it'd be the Sages!"

"Mike..." Scott sighed, folding his arms in unease "I know Father wants to hunt down the Avatar, but... tradition states that the Avatar isn't announced until their 16th birthday-"

"I know how the tradition works, dumb-dumb." He poked his brother on the forehead, trying to ease the obvious tension a bit "But if we can find and track down the Avatar and bring them to our Father, then we'll be heroes!" Mike grinned, the thought alone shooting waves of exhilaration between him before he went back to digging through certain files "And if the Avatar isn't even 16 yet, then they'll be easy to take on!"

"Mike, we're not even 16 yet."

"Yes, yes, but we're different! We were trained in combat ever since we were little kids, unlike most commoners!" He was about to go on with his plans, but gasped in surprise when finding a specific scroll, sealed with the Sages' insignia and displaying symbols representing all four elements. "Oh, this is definitely it."

"Mike, let's maybe think about this for a second." Scott placed a firm hand on his shoulder to stop him before he could go any further "If we unseal that, there's no going back. And just because the next Avatar is Fire Nation... that could be anywhere! What if they're in an Earth Kingdom colony? Not exactly a hop skip and jump from here! And- And what if it's only a name, how can we track them down?!"

"Then we'll use our resources to our advantage!" Mike reassured, patting Scott's hand to try and calm him. "We have connections, we'll be alright, and we'll be heroes to the entire Fire Nation! Father will be so proud of us, doesn't that sound amazing?! So what if we break a rule or two, it's for the greater good of our people!"

... Scott sighed "I... I suppose. It's just... I have a bad feeling about this, but... I trust you, bro. Whatever you do... I'm with you."

Mike grinned, another wave of energy coursing through him now that he finally got his brother on his side. "You! Are! The! Best!!!" He paused only to give a quick hug to the other prince, then pulled away, quickly undoing the seal on the scroll "Alright, the next Avatar should be..."

It took a moment before the words seemed to register. There was a short paragraph explaining the Avatar Cycle, but below that was the name of the next Avatar and the date they would turn 16. Mike's eyes scanned the name, unsure if what he was seeing was real or not, before the realization slowly sunk in. Had his veins turned to ice? That's what it felt like, along with the heavy dread he felt pooling in his stomach.

This... had to be a dream. There's no way...

"... Michael?" Scott chimed in, unease at how suddenly-quiet his brother became. He placed a hand on his shoulder once more, trying to decipher what made him go from excited to... this in a matter of moments. "What's wrong? What does it say...?" He leaned over the brunette's shoulder just enough to read the scroll, eyes briefly scanning the page before- "... Oh."

The name on the scroll was Michael's.

"... This can't be real." Mike tried to breathe, feeling like air was being sucked out of his lungs as the panic set in. "Father wants to..." He couldn't even bring himself to add 'to capture and even kill the Avatar' to that sentence, making his anxiety spike further "B-But if he's... And I'm going to be the... Then- Then what's he going to do to me- I-I don't-"

Scott eventually found his voice again after his own wave of shock passed "Michael, hey, listen to me." He took the scroll, focusing on steadying his breathing before holding his hand out "Give me your hand."

Mike looked up, eyes wide at the other "What are you-"

"I'm not a bender and I need your fire, so please give me your hand."

Mike heistated, but nodded, holding his hand out and sparking a small flame from his palm.

Scott quickly grabbed him by the underside of his hand, careful not to accidentally burn himself, then held the scroll over the flame, nodding in satisfaction as the paper took fire.

This only spiked Mike's panic once again "What are you doing-?!"

"Covering our tracks. The less people know, the better." Scott took a steadying breath, now placing his hand over Mike's palm to smother the small flame out.

"... How are you so calm?!"

"Oh trust me, I'm having a panic attack as we speak, I'm just shutting down so it doesn't look like that!" He laughed dryly, thinly veiling his own anxiety as his thoughts raced. "... If Father finds out, I-I don't know what he'll do."

This only made Mike worse "I-I'm his son, surely he-he'll understand and not try to hurt me, right?!"

"... I don't know." Scott cast his gaze to the floor, answering honestly. "Father can be... Difficult. I-I can't guarantee he'll choose his family over his conquest..." ... His gaze then hardened, meeting Michael's eyes once more "But I will."

"What do you mean...?" Mike cocked his head, trying to quell the heart pounding in his chest.

"I mean we're going to run away to make sure you're safe."

The Fourth Closet Liveblog: Chapters 5-8

This liveblog: Throwing theories at the wall has proven surprisingly effective for this series

Chapter 5

I hate to say it, but I wonder if the thing on the table is actual-Charlie? Springtrap did say he wanted something from her, and that she was “something special”...

“if I had stayed with him a little longer” you’d be dead too dumbass

Not-Charlie isn’t Charlie, but thinks she is. William says he took Actual-Charlie, and John notes that her robot designs look like his. If anyone was raised/brainwashed/whatever by him, it was Actual-Charlie. So weirdly enough, Not-Charlie is actually Charlie, but not Actual-Charlie. is this book confusing enough for you yet

I’m guessing “it has a maximum range” is referring to whatever device is snapping photos of them. It can only do so while they’re in-range.

oh cool, Henry’s stabbing-robot is in Aunt Jen’s closet. that’s totally normal

heh, actual-Charlie’s in a box. If she’s actually Sammy, IE the Bitten Child in 4, then that’s an excellent parallel to the box containing his pieces.

I FUCKING TOLD YOU YOU COULDN’T TRUST NOT-CHARLIE. NOW LOOK WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED

Chapter 6

haha, not-charlie’s a robot, fucking called it. And the disks explain how she looks like a person, which was the only thing that was confusing me about that theory

this also means Sammy’s not a girl (I’m assuming), which explains why he’s being raised as a boy in FNAF 4

unfortunately the explanation makes no sense: you can’t “emit a frequency” that would mess up film - photographs work by exposing light to light sensitive material, sounds ain’t gonna do shit to it. but it’s sci-fi logic, I’ll give it a pass

“I don’t even believe in hauntings and those things were haunted” yes thank you Jessica for your contribution

yeah, let’s just leave the comatose girl alone. this is a good idea

Chapter 7

I was already doubting it, but this confirms that the guy with the cane isn’t Henry. Seems like it would be William, but William’s springtrapped, and he’s too un-Michael like to be Michael.

He mentions Henry figured out remnant, which could point to him using it on himself, hence him being alive and young-sounding in FFPS

hey hey hey don’t be mean to your nice robot assistant. I hope she stabs you by the end of this for that

my only issue here is didn’t these chips make John extremely ill in TTO? I’ll just assume this is a more advanced version or something idk

I love the mirror conversation tbh

that was honestly really tense, I dig it

not sure why she doesn’t have scars (or maybe she does and they’re hidden under her clothes), but it’s pretty obvious she has remnant. she’s probably so tired because of the energy being used to heal her wounds (Michael probably only stands up quickly because there was a period between him dying and Ennard leaving him, which is when he was regaining energy). She’s probably fine (as fine as Charlie can be), she just needs rest

yes, john, beat the shit out of what everything thinks is a normal girl in a public restaurant. great fucking plan, five stars

oh, and good job letting her know you have charlie, who is still unprotected in your apartment, dumbass

you see if william made sex robots with this tech instead of killing ones he’d be a billionaire by now

shoutout to Scott for not trying to have a woman running in high heels

not-charlie is just as much of a lesbian as actual-charlie is

what the fuck did Jessica even scream at. what was even her plan to begin with for that matter

Chapter 8

thank goodness jessica did’t die, she’s one of the best damn characters in these books

“a father’s disappointment and a daughter’s desperation” william and elizabeth, I’m guessing?

sounds like Not-Charlie was jealous of William paying all of his attention to Elizabeth instead of her

“your father was a piece of goddamn shit” “shut the fuck up bitch”

oh, I see. Elizabeth is controlling Not-Charlie as well as Baby, like she was controlling the other Funtimes in SL

aww, sweetie. I’m gonna hug elizabeth. I don’t care if she kills me she’s getting a hug

AU where jessica opens the door, sees Springtrap, and then just slams it closed again

oooooh my god william you are the biggest fucking ham I have ever seen. I’m gonna assume his dancing looked like this

uh-oh! how un-fortun-ate! oh-oh! 

okay no, that scene needs to be explained better. what the actual hell kind of big lipped alligator moment was that

huh, so the figure was william. wonder why he didn’t remove the suit in FFPS. not access to the equipment he needed maybe?

sucks to be you william. maybe don’t kill children next time you piece of limp broccoli

is the one on the table... Henry? William says he killed it before, and it recognized his voice...

wait, the fake blood wasn’t william’s? who else even bled in TSE? Charlie was bleeding at one point I think, but why would she have fake blood? even if she had remnant, william just said you still bleed with it. and why did the police not realize william’s actual blood was on the ground as well? I am so fucking confused

“there is nothing in the world that I care less about than your pain” is the best line in the entire series right there

wait, not-charlie straight up is baby? huh, I did... not get that impression from her description. wasn’t she super thin with a single split down the middle, more like Ballora?

wait, so the pins are to create the illusion? but why didn’t she have them extended when she was Charlie then?

“my only accomplishment is making something that could walk” well when you put it that way it sounds like you are a waste of a human being doesn’t it

we’ve seen your hell william. it involves a hippo speaking for 3 straight minutes about sourdough bread. you have a right to be scared

“no, that’s science fiction” WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ROBOTS POSSESSED BY DEAD CHILDREN VIA SOUL GLUE HERE. YOU KNOW, REAL LIFE

DON’T YOU DARE YELL AT ELIZABETH

where the fuck did baby find a pair of gloves that fit over her giant hands

also, it’s nice to see that Afton does have children in this AU. people were arguing he didn’t because of his lines in TSE, but that’s probably his reason for killing in canon. he wants a supernatural family of his own making, not his family

so the table thing is molten freddy? not sure how that works given that Baby and FT Freddy are still here

hmm, still not sure what he’s doing. he gets the remnant, but that only keeps him in his body. kids get his flesh, which... doesn’t seem like it’s doing anything?

you ever notice how the TSE universe is like, super dark compared to the canon one. turns out it was actually a good thing the bite happened

in conclusion: fuck william and fuck his pain
