WHO GAVE THEM MECHS

Michael Afton's desperate desire to be saved never really went away.

It started when he was small. He didn't even know what he was missing– he didn't have the context for that– but the aching hole in his chest that grew with every moment of normal, necessary nurturing he was denied hurt, and he wanted it to go away.

As he got older, he understood bits of it. He wanted to be hugged and asked about his day like Charlie was; he wanted someone to ask what was wrong when he cried like he saw on TV. He wanted his dad to look happy to see him.

When Evan was born, even as Michael was steadily growing to dislike being touched, he was jealous of how often the baby was held. He knew it was stupid; he knew babies needed to be held, but something about it still hurt. He imagined what it might feel like to be picked up, since it never happened anymore.

He was only six years old.

As Michael got older, and things at home got scarier, his mindset shifted. He stopped wanting things to change, and instead wanted someone to take him away.

He daydreamed about being rescued. He daydreamed about being stranded on a faraway island, and whoever lived there taking him in as one of their own. He daydreamed about some tragedy befalling his father, and of being taken in by someone else.

That last one made him feel guilty.

His dreams settled in that state. The theme persisted throughout his life.

They sometimes twisted after the Bite. Sometimes, he'd imagine that his rescuers would hurt him; punish him for what he'd done. He'd turn on the news to see another disappearance, and some part of him hoped that he would be next.

At its core, though, all he wanted was to be taken away; taken out of that house that was empty and cold and filled with broken glass.

He grew up, he moved out.

His daydreams remained the same.

In his apartment, he'd sit and imagine someone coming in the night to take him away from his dad's house.

In the security office– as he watched the clock and locked Bonnie out for a third time– he imagined someone waiting for him outside, asking why he'd been out so late and offering to drive him home.

(He'd save them. Nobody could save him, but he could save them.)

(They could have saved him. Countless people could have saved him.)

(Nobody wanted to.)

With the scooper staring him in the face, he humored the idea of someone barging in and demanding to know why he would do something so reckless, so stupid.

They'd pull him out of the way.

They'd take him home.

They'd wipe the blood off his chin and tell him that everything was going to be okay.

When he opened the pizzeria, Mike pretended that Henry's recordings were just that: somebody saving him. Henry had sometimes been the face in his dreams, but it had hurt too much to imagine other times. After all, Henry had never believed him.

Did he believe him now?

And, as the office burned, he turned his head to the doorway. Smoke filled his lungs, and, if he squinted just right, maybe, maybe he'd see someone show up to save him.

Nobody ever did.

Day 13: favorite fnaf 4 character, love this little dude. Never thought the phrase "Tomorrow is another day" would affect me as much as it does.

I relate to the crying child a little too much I think. Older siblings and parental figures be wack.

[torngreyshirt]

GAHHHH💕💕 I love this so much, I’ve actually had the idea that Michael could be a flying fox and would wrap his wings around Evan as he held him and Evan would be a little bunny or a bear cub

Have you considered the winged beans being sleepy together? Just like, Micheal surrounding the two with his big bro wings, Gregory sprawled out and floppy, and Evan's lil baby wings fluttering while he dreams

Just a thought

Comfiest place on earth

GAHHHH💞 I’ve drawn something so similar, makes me want to finish it

What i’ve always wanted from these two

[torngreyshirt]

speaking as if the Springdad AU was a trilogy of movies, the beginning of the second one would have this vibe. The family is already used to a domestic routine. Waking up early, taking Mike to school, working from home while taking care of Evan (I still think Will would be working in the field of programming, no animatonics included), house chores, etc.

[torngreyshirt]

William actually sleeping is the real jumpscare in the Afton house (except he has to deal with the kids acting like this so even then he barely gets the zzz)

[torngreyshirt]

I made a headcanon not long ago that Helpy is CC possessed Fredbear who was modified by Michael

[torngreyshirt]

I know it makes no sense narratively and it’s just the fact that I’ve grown up adoring anthro characters but every time I see a lil doodle of like the Afton family and William is a rabbit and Michael is a fox and Evan is a tiny bear cub I’m like.. hrmm ..yes pls.

There’s a lot of potential for it. Especially for one of the cosy AUs where nothing bad happens and everyone lets the characters rest and be happy.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’m tempted to draw some but like.

Rabbit William’s ears twitching as he pinpoints the exact location Michael is trying to get away with some Bullshit, or finding Evan where he’s hidden and crying

Thumping to get his kids attention when it’s time for them to stop playing and go home

I also just love the juxtaposition of a large, intimidating bunny and two small lil predators with sharp claws and teeth hiding behind him.

Fox Mike would get into the absolute worst trouble. He’d definitely climb up places and then get stuck and need to be rescued, and of course not learn his lesson. Foxes also make the most hilarious horrible giggles and screeches. He would be so obnoxious.

Tiny bear cub Evan being extremely shy but extremely cute and curious. Tiny bear doing a big yawn. Incredibly boopable and huggable. Probably kind of oblivious to the fact that he has claws and teeth just like Michael. Elizabeth would want to carry him around everywhere like a big plush but he’d be too heavy for her. I love him.

I also like bear Henry. And Charlie would be cute as a bear cub too now that I think about it. She would absolutely cuddle Evan and absolutely snarl at Michael if he’s tried something. The Puppet was always extremely protective, after all.

I’ve seen an AU that I thought was really cute, where the world was partly humans and partly anthros and the kids were adopted, which is why everyone was a different species. I think it was called springdad?

[torngreyshirt]

Littol bunny Evan… I imagine he’s still very shy and sensitive. His fur is a chocolate brown to go with his hair

I LOVE the idea of Evan being a little bear cub🥺 so so much but I gotta figure out how to draw bears, but I think he’d be very sweet as a bunny too because I love bunnies and they’re comforting. You can just pick him up and hold him💕

Michael Afton fox!!

Still love my art even though I barely finish anything😭 so I’m just posting my sketches too since I make those the most

Still love the idea of an au where they are animals! And Michael is a fox-like animal, and I’m tryna decide and figure out which style I like better? The toony or more realistic?……I probably will finish this but I just take forever to, I’d of course post the finished one, and it’ll have more fnaf vibes to it

┆ ❝ He removes one of the earpieces from the Walkman and places it in Evan’s ear, letting him hear the music he’s listening to, a classic 80’s rock song as he runs a gentle hand through his hair, as if trying to comfort his little brother without words. ❞

[The Song: ‘Shout’ by Tears for Fears]

An au where Michael is more protective over Evan than anything else - I know I need to finish this!!
