i still think colin and michael are probably heading for a breakup but it makes me sad because i like them together. michael is hot and he's rich* and he teases colin about his shitty driving and he's well-dressed and he comes to sam's restaurant to celebrate the team even though he doesn't care about football and he's understanding about colin being closeted and he's very very hot. colin deserves someone like that
*i'm assuming that was michael's house in the first scene since colin gets dressed in clothes that were on the floor from last night. also he travels to dubai and only rich people do that

I'd love to see y/n making Halloween treats with the slashers from the prompt list!!!
Slashers Making Halloween Treats with You
October 2023 Halloween Prompt List
A/N: Thank you for this request! My inbox is still open and empty so feel free to send in more requests (with or without the prompts)!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Freddy Krueger
This man literally takes nothing seriously
The moment you step away from the counter, the fun pretzel treats are now wiggling fingers
Your immediate glare silences Freddy's laughs as he finally changes them back
"You're no fun"
Doesn't really help you with the process
Not because he doesn't want to, but because you refuse to let him
He doesn't want to take off his glove and would probably set the place ablaze somehow
So he's left to just watch
But he doesn't mind
He comes up behind you a lot and holds you close, peeking over your shoulder
Steals a few tastes of chocolate here and there
Will also make whatever spatulas or cups you need appear right beside you
Occasionally it's a severed head, but it wouldn't be Freddy without some dumb scares
He might not be much help in the kitchen, but he'll gladly lend a hand in tasting everything
Just don't leave him unintended
He has literally no self control
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Michael Myers
Michael may not seem like the type, but he does have a bit of a sweet tooth
Halloween is clearly his favorite time of year, and it wouldn't make much sense for him to not like the occasional sugary treat
So of course, you had to take advantage of this
He doesn't really understand what you're doing (kitchen stuff isn't his thing)
It's honestly kind of cute how he just follows you around like a lost puppy, only doing what you ask of him
He'll hand you whatever supplies you need
Doesn't touch any of the food though
Wants to leave the house a couple of times, but you don't let him
Eventually decides on sitting in a chair and watching you
Will only actually help you if it involves using a knife
He doesn't enjoy doing things he's not good at, but using a blade is something he feels confident with
Honestly, anything that involves the use of a sharp object is something he'd rather do (he thinks you're too clumsy)
Just tell him and he'll do it, and he'll do it well too
You have him taste some of the ingredients along the way
He shows no reaction, but he secretly loves it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jason Voorhees
Despite everything, Jason is still a bit of a child at heart
He doesn’t really eat, but he’s happy to be there with you (and he makes an exception here and there)
He’s very eager to help you in the kitchen!
All you have to do is ask and he’s there
It reminds him of what he and his mother used to do when he was younger
Would rather build each treat together than do it separately
This takes a lot more time, but he’s happy to spend all night doing it if it’s by your side
Loves when you give him a small kiss or a bump of your hip as you reach around him
Holds each cookie with such gentleness that you’d think it was alive
Gets all pouty if he accidentally makes a mess
But a small smile is all it takes for him to pep up again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thomas Hewitt
The occasional piece of candy would be handed out during this time of year, but actual baked goods were rare for him
So when you brought up the idea of making some treats, Thomas was almost a bit confused
But any activity with you was quality time in his book, so he agreed
He's not much of a chef since his job is mainly to catch the food, but he tries his best
All the measuring and cooking is solely up to you, but the decorating is something he's eager for
The occasional frosting boop ends up on your nose
And sugar has somehow found its way all over the floor and table
But Thomas's excitement makes up for it all
He's not much of an artist, but they'll all taste the same
Definitely wants to lick out the bowl before you have a chance to wash it
But he's happy to help you clean after everything is done
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bubba Sawyer
This man has the biggest sweet tooth ever
Immediately jumps on the chance to make some Halloween treats with you
He not only likes sweets, but he also enjoys the process of making them
Is a bit too eager to help and ends up just throwing flour and sugar into the bowl before measuring them
Will probably need to give him a lollipop or something to calm him down a bit
Hands you all the ingredients you need
Doesn't know the difference between a 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup though
He ends up eating a good amount of the batter while you were washing your hands
So your full-sized cake was going to need to be resized
You end up settling on making cake pops
Bubba has a lot of fun rolling the dough into little balls and dipping them into the icing
He ends up getting food all over his clothing and has to change before they're done
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brahms Heelshire
It was actually his idea to make some treats in the first place
You were feeling a bit bummed that you couldn't do the normal fall things you used to do since Brahms hates leaving the house
He tried to make up for it by recommending the spooky activity
You were excited and decided to get started that night
Brahms would probably burn down the house if you tried to bake anything, so you settled on some rice krispie treats instead
He stayed by your side the entire time, but wasn't really much help until the mixing part
He jumped at the chance to stick his hand in the marshmallowy mess
However, he also tried everything in his power to eat it before you had even added the food coloring
You basically had to threaten to not sleep in bed with him that night for him to stop
Ends up adding too much food coloring
And still finds a way to eat some of treat when your back was turned
This resulted in the making of just one rice krispie treat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norman Bates
He loves the idea and wants to make it into a date night
He lights some candles and gets the record player going
Norman isn't one for sugary sweets, but he does enjoy pie during this cooler weather
He also knows his way around the kitchen pretty well so of course he already has the recipe memorized
Wants to make everything from scratch (the filling, the crust, all of it)
Shows you the correct way to knead the dough and will stand behind you to guide your hands
Rewards you with small kisses on the forehead
Once the pies are in the oven, he takes you by the hand and dances a bit to the music while you wait
You both end up cooking an entire dinner to go along with the pies
They honestly came out delicious and the night was absolutely perfect for you two
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Billy Loomis
Billy is a decent cook, he just lacks motivation
But he agrees to the idea as long as they can be Ghostface themed (you couldn't expect anything less honestly)
Will do most of the work making the batter and letting you lick the spoon
Gives you kisses in between each task
He leaves the decorating up to you though, since art isn't really his forte
He also doesn't want to get colored icing on his clothes
Of course, you have to have a scary movie playing in the background
Helps you clean up if you ask him to
Holds you to his chest while you try to work, completely distracting you the whole time
Sweet kisses along your neck
The occasional compliment in your ear
He's having a much better time than he had originally thought
Once they're done, you both have trouble waiting and immediately cut into them
The brownies are shared on the couch during your horror movie marathon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stu Macher
So this isn't the first time you guys tried to make some treats
Cookies, cupcakes, and candies have all been attempted before only to fail
Mostly Stu's fault to be honest
He burnt pretty much everything
So you finally decided to go with the complete opposite
Milkshakes!
He sneaks a few spoonfuls of ice cream before you guys start
Spills milk on the floor and on your shirt a couple times
But the enthusiasm is there
Has a fun Halloween playlist going on in the background as well
His favorite part is rolling the glasses around in the sprinkles
Dumps half the container in his mouth first though and stains his lips black
Tries to kiss you despite your giggling protests
By the time you guys finally finish decorating the shakes, the ice cream has pretty much melted down
But they still taste great
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eric Draven
Anything that feels like normal domestic living is a win in Eric's book
He honestly looks forward to the task all week and even comes home super early that night so you two can spend time together
But of course, he somehow manages to choose the most decoratively challenging treat he possibly could
Lights some candles and leaves the window cracked, letting the cool fall air inside
Hums while he mixes ingredients together, giving you a warm smile whenever he catches your eye
Doesn't even let one drip of batter fall onto the counter
He is somehow that skilled
Wraps his arms around you and sways back and forth while you work
You leave all the bone decorating to him though
Eric is incredibly artistic, and he somehow pulls off everything he tries for the first time
The treats end up coming out just like the picture
You end the night taking turns feeding each other the little treats

How do you think the bear timeline works? I thought Carmy was in NY the whole time pre-s1, but then he was in Copenhagen and in 2×06 I don't think he'd been to New York yet (..is that what the conversation w Michelle was about..) idk. I'm making it up in my head as I go along
i'm not sure dude-- tbh part of me is thinking that the writers are winging this part rather than having a fully planned out backstory? there was the slight retcon of only a few people knowing michael was doing drugs this season i think (as shown by 2x06 but i don't 100% remember how it went because i was so stressed), so i think they're mainly focused on the emotive aspects rather than having a timeline that makes 100% sense.. as someone who also is bad with time and cares about the broad strokes of things i don't really mind (i had to fact check a timeline the other day and it was so bad lmao)
i think someone way back in s1 times made a rough timeline of what kind of happened, but they also noted it doesn't quite make sense or something because of michael's death? either way, s2 does throw a few wrenches in guesses for the timeline-- carmy definitely spent some time in copenhagen, at least a few months-- with luca, i think you can connect a few dots to realize the chef luca was talking about was carmy, especially with the photo in chef terry's hallway showing them both being in the kitchen at the same time, which means carmy did spend some time in chicago in fancy restaurants rather than just heading fast to nyc, or maybe moved back and forth. but i doubt that option because donna was like i had to BEG you to come home?
that's a good point about michelle's conversation. it did confuse me a bit because i was going into it thinking that carmy already had a place there. and donna mentioned she had to beg him to come. and carmy was already like 'would it kill you to respond' so i also thought he's already in nyc, but i think it's still a bit inconclusive.... my initial thought was that michelle was offering a place where he could be with others who weren't insane for a bit lol. but idk. if that was what michelle was offering i doubt carmy would've taken her up on it because he's so determined to be so self reliant it's detrimental to himself

I was rereading your wumptober 2022 book on AO3, and i read the Brother AU fight snippet and omg you broke me.
They were awful to each other but i need to know how it ends. Do they make up? Does one of them crash and the other realises their mistake?? It wont leave my mindd🥺
I do remember answering this, but it might have been in an ask and I cannot for the life of me fully remember the idea I had for it 😭
So here's a new one and the one I'm going with!
Michael tries to talk to them both. He hates seeing them hurting but he knows they're both stubborn pricks and he can't talk sense into them. He does consider calling their siter to get her to knock their heads together, but he doesn't. Mainly because Daniel points out that "We're adults. We'll figure this out when we're ready. We both said shitty things and hurt each other, we have to be the ones to fix it but right now I just want to choke the cunt, so let us cool off"
So Michael does.
And then Lando crashes, and he doesn't answer on the radio. The race is redflagged and Michael is there when they tell Daniel that Lando isn't answering and sees the fear in his friends eyes, hears the panic when they let him on the coms to try talk to Lando and doesn't get a response. He's also there to catch Daniel when the other sags when they see Lando getting out of the car, all fine and well and walking on his own.
It's a long red flag, long enough for Lando to get back to the garage and try explain that his radio broke in the crash but he doesn't get much out before Daniel is hugging him tight and calling him a cunt and then Lando is clinging to him too because the adrenline is wearing off, and he's a little shook up but he's okay and his brother is hugging him.
They both know they need to talk, but right now they just need to hug and need the reassurance. Later that night, Michael gets a text to come for dinner in Dans room, and is relieved to see both brothers looking lighter than they have in weeks and he knows they've fixed whatever it was betweent them and talked about it

Stories From Fazbear's Timeline
So, when I was rambling on Twitter some hours ago. I realized and I was stupid to not notice this long ago. Many of my Stories From Fazbear's stories were indeed deleted even when I reblogged them to this blog. Because when you press the keep reading option, it doesn't work because it said it doesn't exist.
Which really sucks. But I had posted the timeline onto another site. So, just in case something happens. I'm going to copy and paste the timeline. This was for an AU I hyped up and posted the timeline. Something I was very passionate. It was basically my own reimaging and, in a way, my movie adaptation of the FNAF saga. It took months to make, and I had made draft stories. But alias, many of those stories are now sadly gone because I deleted my FNAF blog.
I was very proud of this AU. I teared up at some of the little stories I wrote. Yet I question if I should call this my best work. But I was just proud (And I had help when making it) to make it because I...am likely still a long time FNAF fan. I wanted to make my own take on the series that still fit many of the games and honor them. But also, make a timeline that makes sense with some changes.
But alias, I was young, and it's from two years ago. Yet it says a lot I remember this AU of mine fondly. Even though at this point, there feels like there's no need for it. Including with the FNAF movie out. This stuff is basically in the past. But it was a great effort I did during the time of quarantine when COVID was still a major thing.
Anyway, here's the timeline, unedited.
1977: Fredbear's Family Diner is opened. Owned by Henry Emily and William Afton.
Throughout ever since the start of Fredbear's. Caroline Emily, Henry's wife plays a mute character named Ms. Marionette. That is part of the cast of characters.
1979: The franchise is expanded into Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Introducing more animatronic characters.
Fazbear Entertainment is born.
Caroline even at Fazbear's, plays the character of Ms. Marionette as well. She is one of the reasons why the restaurants become successful. With the major other reasons being the animatronics themselves. Including the food and entertainment.
Yet during all of these years. Despite being happily married to Joanna and her supporting the business as well. Even though she has a job as a dancer. Ever since he met Caroline. William feels this sort of sexual frustration whenever he’s with her. Mainly admiring her. Despite William considers his wife number 1.
September 1983: Henry also decides to risk the idea of letting other employees use the Springlock suits. But it sadly results in the deaths of Barry and Jack. Two trusted employees who had been working at Fredbear’s since the start. Despite taking their corpses out and paying for their funerals, Evan Afton see’s them die. This happens at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria.
Because of this, few employees are allowed to wear the suits. With Henry and William mainly using them.
Evan develops a fear of the animatronics. Thinking they ate the employees. But even before this, Evan didn’t socialize much with other kids. Imagining the Fredbear plush as his friend, along with seeing the plushies of the other Fazbear characters as his friends.
Due to the incident with Jack and Barry. People start making crazy rumors about Fredbear’s.
In October 1983. Michael Afton bullies his younger brother and puts him in Fredbear's mouth. But it results in Fredbear crushing Evan’s head. With everyone there to witness it, including William.
The next few weeks is what forever changes the course of Fazbear's forever.
- During the weeks his brother is in the hospital. Michael wants to punish himself after witnessing what he had did to his brother. He begins having intense nightmares. Putting himself in his brothers place and being attacked and killed by his brother's, "Friends".
Soon his nightmares slowly end when he finally must accept that his brother will die. The nightmares soon start to cease. But they still happen at times.
- Traumatized, enraged and wanting to get even with his partner in the business. William plans to kidnap Charlie and hide her to scare Henry. To make him feel his pain. In the end, Henry would pay a ransom. But this instead results in Caroline going into the bathroom first and noticing a man in a Spring Bonnie costume. His plan changes, William kidnaps her instead. For weeks, Caroline is missing, taken captive by someone she doesn’t know. She was kidnapped during a Halloween party.
Evan’s in the hospital, while Caroline is a captive somewhere. For possibly three weeks. Though William tries to take care of her. Despite cuddling with her, playing music while she’s stuck in a box, and whatever other things.
But learning that his son will die anyway. Along with learning Caroline’s ‘Bruja’ heritage, meaning witch. William accepts the ransom money. Yet because of how he treated Caroline, William kills her anyway. In a way, because of three weeks. Her death was drawn out.
William leaves a clue to Henry of where his wife is at after the ransom is paid. Which results in Henry finding a large chest with two locks, revealing Caroline’s corpse with the words, “ALL YOUR FAULT” carved on her stomach.
Due to the tragedies with William's youngest son, two employees of his, and the unsolved murder of his wife. Henry decides to retire Fredbear's as a whole. Making a PSA that the characters have retired. Which include Fredbear, Spring Bonnie, and Ms. Marionette.
But because of these events, Caroline becomes the Puppet, Barry becomes Shadow Freddy, and Jack becomes Shadow Bonnie.
Yet Caroline died near the same time Evan’s plug was pulled by William. Given permission by the doctors and his wife. Feeling sorry for the young boy. Caroline wants to put the boy back together. Resulting in him becoming the first half of Golden Freddy.
Their sprits linger around Fazbear’s.
William’s motives were rage, jealousy, and lust. After Caroline’s death. His slow descent into sadism begins. Even though he tried to move on from the events.
But also with Caroline gone, who was considered the, “Soul” of Fazbear Entertainment. Who gave Henry good advice and was supportive. Without her at Henry’s side, Fazbear Entertainment would never be the same again after her death.
1986: With only Freddy's operating, and trying to move on from the tragedy of three years ago. But over the time, William soon learns he seems to enjoy sadism. Which results in him planning to use the Freddy’s in Hurricane as his personal killing grounds. Preying on the children that go there.
Over the course of June, four children go missing. But with the Springlock suits put away. William has to use the replacement costume instead.
In order. Susie Evans(Chica), Benjamin Allen(Bonnie), Lynn Davis(Foxy), and Gabriel Brooks(Freddy). He lures them into the back, likely the safe room or the back room.
William decides to hide the corpses in the animatronic characters just in case. Because of William’s defiling of the animatronics and hiding the corpses in there. The animatronics become possessed by the children.
Caroline is shocked, horrified, and angered by the same man who kidnapped and drawn out her death is now killing children at her family’s own restaurant. She takes care of the children’s spirits. Acting as if she were their own mother. But she is overzealous, which results in her and her, ‘Children’ trying to find the man responsible for their deaths.
Near the end of June, the animatronics start smelling like reanimated corpses. Confused and realizing he had not fixed his animatronics in a long time, Henry decides to open them. He is shocked when he discovers the corpses. Horrified and not knowing what to do, Henry tells William what he had found and asks for advice. William’s advice is not to reveal the corpses to the police. And that Henry needs to be a man and not a coward. Because if he Henry tells the police of what he had found, Freddy Fazbear’s may likely never open again.
Due to William’s successful manipulative advice, Henry decides to take the bodies and bury them behind his house. Believing incinerating their bodies is disrespectful and horrifying. But he wants to give them proper burials.
Because of these events, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is closed. But not retired forever. Henry plans to make better animatronics that can keep the children safe. Resulting in the origin of the Toy Animatronics.
But due to Henry wanting to keep going despite the horrible events. His own sister disowns him and takes Charlie to live with her. Along with angry mobs forming against the restaurant and Henry’s attitude against the parents and police. Telling them to fuck off in a way. Which confuses and saddens people close to him. Such as Clay Burke and his wife. But especially Henry’s own sister, Jennifer.
Because of his wife’s demise and discovering the children’s corpses, Henry finally loses his faith in humanity. He becomes a gray figure who runs Fazbear Entertainment with an iron fist. Seeing nearly all of his employees as likely suspects of whoever killed his wife and the children. Not caring who really dies or not.
Taking William’s advice to heart to sweep problems under the rug. Yet somehow...there is still parts of Henry’s humanity within him. Such as being gentle with children. Including making sure the food is good and enjoyable. And maintaining some nice relationships with certain people.
But the man that opened Fredbear’s and Freddy’s was no more. All that was left was a man who didn’t care anymore, and filled with rage. Who lived in his house all alone. He was hated by all, but he didn’t care.
For William, he only rejoiced that his soul brother got all the attention. With no one caught for the missing children’s case, and people assuming it was Henry who likely killed the children.
Especially even if Fazbear’s did truly fall. He could always go back to just being his wife’s accountant as always. As she still made a lot of money. With many not knowing who he was. William can perfectly get away with his crimes. With the added bonus of making Henry feel pain that the person who took his wife and the children was still out there.
October 1986: Development of the Toy Animatronics begins. Which are based upon some toys Fazbear Entertainment had made. With William helping out in case. Luckily for Fazbear Entertainment. Other sister locations are opened.
June 1987: After having drunken sex with a random man, Jennifer Emily gives birth to Derek.
October 23rd 1987: The new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is introduced to the public. Featuring the Toy Animatronics. The restaurant is opened for a few short weeks.
The animatronics have facial recognition systems to locate any predators in the restaurant. They are an achievement in animatronic making.
Despite the risky possibility, William decides to murder children again.
During the same week William begins to murder again, Jeremy Fitzgerald is hired for the nightshift.
One of the victims is Cassidy Taylor, Jeremy’s girlfriend, who is watching the kids. She is caught by William and is saved to be killed for last when he kills the other children first. She is put in a old Fredbear springlock suit, which William sets to go, off killing her.
Compared to the last murders, William begins to get messy. He lures children with the Spring Bonnie costume again. He can't stuff the children again, so he takes their corpses and dumps them in a garbage dump, resulting in them getting found and the spirits passing on.
But Cassidy, was later found by police in the suit. Despite the others moving on, she didn’t. Because she’s furious with what William did. Now Cassidy shares Golden Freddy with Evan.
When Jeremy finds out what happens to Cassidy, he is traumatized and distraught by what happened to her.
Just in case, William messes with the system of the Toy Animatronics, to make sure they see adults as a criminal and not recognize him.
During Elizabeth’s fifth birthday party, Jeremy is bitten on the head by Mangle. Resulting in the, "Bite Of 87" and destroying the reputation of Freddy Fazbear's even more. But Jeremy survives. The only reason why Jeremy didn’t really defend himself is after Cassidy’s death, he just felt nothing anymore except guilt. With the idea that he feels suicidal and responsible for her and the children’s deaths. Which is why he still kept going to Freddy’s, because he didn’t care.
The Toy Animatronics are scrapped, with the older models kept to be refurbished. Due to almost being caught, William has to think of how he can kill children again. With his experience on working on animatronics with Henry, he begins planning to make his own.
During Jeremy’s recovery in the hospital while he’s in a coma. He goes through a nightmarish adventure in his own head. Haunted by his experience at Freddy’s, and blaming himself for Cassidy’s death. Remembering his time working at Freddy’s and other things. But with the help of Caroline, Cassidy is able to go into Jeremy’s mind and tells him it wasn’t his fault. Finally putting Jeremy’s guilt to rest and wake up from his coma.
Because of dying in the older Fredbear suit, she is now the second half of Golden Freddy with Evan. She is more angry than Evan considering the circumstances of her death. Which Caroline didn’t want to happen.
1988: Afton Robotics becomes a subdivision of Fazbear Entertainment. With Henry still being the main CEO.
1989: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is opened again in Hurricane. With Henry taking parts of the Toy Animatronics and combing them with the originals, completely redesigning them.
During these years, because of the, “Bite Of 87″. The animatronics can’t walk during the day time. So the nightshift is kept open. Sometimes other employees, Henry, or Phone Guy take the shift. Sometimes a guard will get killed, which will result in Henry hiding the corpse. Possibly buried behind his house. Most employees would quit.
November 1993: After years of development, William finally reveals the Funtime Animatronics to the public. With the intention to open a new sister location named, “Circus Baby’s Pizza World”.
Convincing Henry and the board that the claws and holes in the animatronics chests are to surprise the children with ice cream and other birthday goodies. William is able to put them out in public after they are deemed safe.
Before Circus Baby’s is opened, in Hurricane, Foxy is beaten by enraged customer with a crowbar. A person who just simply wanted to tarnish Fazbear’s considering how Henry ran things. He is arrested but soon let go. Because of the damage, Foxy at times is out of order, or he will work at times.
Because of this, William gets drunk to celebrate this news and sleeps with Joanna. Thinking he’s just joking at first, but she slowly realizes as what her drunk husband is saying is true. That he killed her best friend Caroline, the money he got was her ransom, not from a casino. Including that he was responsible for killing all of those children in those two cases.
Joanna decides to secretly pack up her belongings first while Elizabeth is out with friends. William notices this and she says she is gonna take Elizabeth on a business trip with her. But he realizes what she is doing after she reveals what she heard from him while he was drunk. This results in him keeping Joanna hostage in a secret compartment of theirs in the basement. With William telling a returning Elizabeth is that her mother is on a tour, while Joanna cries knowing her daughter is now in the care of a monster. Despite he warned her that if she doesn’t keep quiet, he’ll sadly make their daughter join her in the room too.
During this time, William tries to get Joanna to understand what he did, to possibly forgive him. But she is more horrified by his reasoning for what he did. Such as his intense hatred for Michael and Henry, wanting to leave Elizabeth’s innocence out of it, and thinking they would be okay with him killing children. Especially by the fact she and her daughter were his impulse control.
During the opening day of Circus Baby’s, Elizabeth is sadly killed by Circus Baby. Resulting in William closing the restaurant and saying it was due to the leaks. But also during this, Joanna escapes the room.
She tries to escape and find her daughter. But she goes into his workshop and discovers what the Funtime Animatronics are supposed to be since they were brought back to their house. Discovering things such as the Spring Bonnie costume, and soon what’s inside Circus Baby. William then discovers her, which results in her telling him he killed their daughter.
In a struggle, and William trying to push her off of him. Joanna is sadly impaled by Ballora who was being worked on. Now Joanna dies in William’s arms.
Because of this, William throws Joanna’s car away. Along with William soon starting Circus Baby’s Entertainment And Rental. Putting out a PSA that a rental service is much better. But also because of supposed gas leaks that William made up about.
The sudden disappearance of Joanna and Elizabeth spooks people. But even with no proof, people start thinking, mainly Henry start believing William may of been the one who killed the children.
At this point, William has truly lost EVERYTHING. While slowly disowning his eldest son back then. He soon starts blaming everything on Michael and Henry. Now with his daughter and wife gone. Who to him were his impulse control. With the memory of Evan slowly gone from his mind.
Unknown to everyone, Circus Baby and Ballora are possessed by Elizabeth and Joanna.
June 1996: Michael Afton takes on the name of Mike Schmidt to work at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
The 10th anniversary of the first murders at Freddy’s takes place. With Charlie and her friends returning to Hurricane to honor their memory.
For three years, William had thought to himself whether he should just finally kill himself. With now Fazbear Entertainment and even his own sub division losing more money as the years gone by.
William finally decides to snap. Resulting in him returning to Hurricane. With no Joanna and Elizabeth to hold him back. He returns to inflict more pain on the people or Hurricane, mainly Charlie.
During the week, Charlie meets Michael for the first time in years. But as the missing children’s parents start being murdered. She starts to think Michael may be the one killing them. Remembering parts of her past with him that he had issues. But to her surprise, William kidnaps her and plans to make everyone feel fear of her going missing. Including to kill many others such as her friends and father before killing her.
As the police and her friends try to search for Charlie. Mike is working at Freddy’s and learns what’s going on and wants to help if he can. But during all of this, Jessica and Marla are kidnapped by William as well, but not killing them.
The original missing children’s parents are killed, officer Dunn, other police officers, while Clay is very injured and his wife is taken hostage at one point. Along with John soon finding Charlie, but is beaten to death by William with a crowbar in front of her.
But during the situation where Clay is injured and officers are killed. Henry had join Clay to find Charlie. This results in Henry and William having a fight to the death. Which results in William nearly killing Henry. But Will decides to let him live because he thinks killing Charlie before killing him first will make him suffer more. Which saddens Henry as he hears Charlie’s muffled cries for help.
In an event, Mike soon finds Charlie and the others. All while taking place at Freddy’s. Which results in Mike, Charlie, and others trying to survive the animatronics and William. Who is also destroying the animatronics one by one.
But to everyone’s surprise, the spirits of the children and Caroline rise, which horrifies William. Thinking the old Spring Bonnie springlock suit will protect him. He holds Charlie hostage again to keep them away. But to his surprise, Charlie activates the suit, killing William inside. After this, everyone decides to just simply leave.
Despite their killer finally being killed, Caroline and the children don’t move on sadly. As the years had gone by, mainly seeing William dying opened her eyes. She starts to see the errors of what she had done. Terrified of the possibility because of guards they have killed. That her children may never move on and may burn in Hell instead.
During the middle of the night, Henry has recovered the night before and discovers William's corpse. But instead of reporting it to the police. He decides to board up the safe room to make William suffer and to never be found. Saying, "Good Riddance" to his former partner and the man he considered his brother.
Despite officers going to investigate. They can’t find the safe room. With Henry denying having to do anything with what happened. Due to the safe room being hidden well and the restaurant being closed for some time. William’s body is never recovered.
November 1997: The 10th anniversary for the 2nd missing children’s case happens. With Michael, Charlie, and others attending their memorial. But as that happens, Michael soon starts hearing his mother's voice in his head. Telling him to go Circus Baby's Entertainment And Rental to help them.
Michael still taking on the name Mike Schmidt, goes to work for Circus Baby's. Hoping to understand why the voice wanted him to go there. But now things have gotten complicated. With Circus Baby speaking to him and seems to recognize him.
During Michael's work week. Joanna wants Michael to free her and his sister. But Elizabeth desperately wants to be free. She comes up with a more disastrous plan. To use Michael's corpse as a disguise to get them out. But Joanna refuses to join in.
It’s a spiritual fight between a mother and a daughter. But to Joanna’s dismay, Elizabeth gets the better of her, due to being so scared and just wanting to be free from their torment.
During all of this, Charlie wants to investigate what happened in 1987. She goes to find Jeremy Fitzgerald and interviews him of what he knows. Revealing what sort of memories he had, despite being disabled. Soon she learns the Toy Animatronics soon went into the development of the Funtime Animatronics. Which leads her into what’s going on with Michael.
With Elizabeth holding more power over her mother, she uses all of the Funtime Animatronics to merge into Ennard. Yet even during this, Elizabeth and Joanna struggle to fight over who’s in control.
On his fifth night, Ennard tries attacking Michael. During his fight for survival, Michael is sadly killed. But because of this, Elizabeth feels guilt over killing her own older brother, realizing what she had done. But to Ennard’s surprise, the Puppet arrives to the facility. It is revealed Caroline had discovered where Joanna and Elizabeth were at. Lending a hand to help them be freed. By giving Joanna telepathy to speak to her oldest son.
Being so tired of death, she uses her, ‘Bruja’ magic to be able to heal Michael and bring him back to life.
Ennard leaves Michael with Charlie, who takes care of him. Now Ennard is free, living out in the Hurricane wilderness. But afterwards, Henry soon learns what the Funtime Animatronics were for. He feels incredibly guilty to learn this is what William made. Despite the difficulty, he tries his best to rearrange their systems so they don’t kill anyone.
Afterwards, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in Hurricane finally closes down. Even though Fazbear Entertainment is still going with other restaurants in America. Including Circus Baby’s Entertainment And Rental.
2003: Henry finally kills himself by using the Fredbear animatronic that crushed Evan’s head to crush his own. He is found the next morning, and everyone finds out. Fazbear Entertainment has lost their main CEO, yet they still go on.
But due to his anger at William, and enraged of innocents being hurt by sinners. Henry possesses the Fredbear animatronic to roam around Hurricane and anywhere else. To punish the guilty. Whether they are serial killers, rapists, traffickers, or anyone else. He sadly becomes judge, jury, and executioner.
As the years go on, he is known as the, “Bearman” by the locals. A cryptid in the likes of Bigfoot, the Dover Demon, Lizard Man, and any other creatures that are mainly known as myth and legends. Despite the obvious killings of the guilty.
He never resorts to hurting the innocent. Yet because of the unsolvable killings, this makes people terrified of what this creature is. With some who may of seen him just petrified by the sight of him. The other reasons why Henry is also doing this because he feels he is just as much as a monster as William was. That this is his time to repent. But also the hopeful possibility, that just maybe, just maybe. If he kills enough or keeps going. Caroline may come back.
Henry has become what the children had become. But sadly more worse. And he knows what he is doing.
After his corpse is found by Clay and other police officers, he goes into Henry’s house and finds his journal. Revealing where the original missing children are at. Their bodies are buried with their parents.
During these years after 1996. Despite having support from Jessica(Who’s relationship becomes stronger when doing their own personal therapy), Carlton, and others. Because of the events with William in 1996, and her father finally being dead. Charlie is sadly scarred by the events. Which led to mental problems, trauma, and seclusion. Even having breakdowns that would make people she dated retreat from her.
Even after in 1997 with her mother telling her she’s proud to have her as a daughter. And that her death wasn’t her fault.
2014: Derek Emily now with a surname Anderson, takes control of Fazbear Entertainment as the only willing relative to Henry to take over. He makes a false promise to bring joy back into Freddy Fazbear’s again.
October 2019: Fazbear's Fright is soon to be opened. Katherine Grady takes on the job to watch the place before it opens. Who was encouraged by one of her best friends, Millie Fitzsimmons to take the job. The first night is a breeze. Until Alan The Phone Dude and crew find an actual animatronic. Which is actually Springtrap.
Fazbear’s Fright is now an anchor for the dead. With William being found, and the spirits of Caroline and the children being there. Caroline thinks this is the chance to fully destroy William and possibly free her children and herself.
But what makes it an anchor of the dead. This is the location Mike worked at in 1996. But also the location of where the original murders had happened. Now it had been redesigned and messed with.
Unknown to Katherine and others. Fazbear’s Fright is part of this initiative by Fazbear Entertainment led by Derek to make a mockery of the rumors of Freddy’s. Including to make good PR for upcoming projects. Such as the development of a new mall.
Katherine wants to find out more about Fazbear's. With the help of Betty Burke and her son. She soon finds Michael Afton AKA Mike Schmidt. Who physically still looks like he's in his 20's and near being 30. With an ID saying he was born in 1993.
This also results in them finding Charlie. Who is highly against Fazbear's Fright. Who is still suffering from trauma endured in 1996. Amusingly, her first interaction with Charlie is Kathy first breaking into her house. With Charlie taking her captive because she thinks she’s a burglar.
With Caroline/The Puppet informing the three of them to burn down the attraction. During one night, the three try to burn it down. But Springtrap is aware of what is going on. He is enraged to see his eldest son who is still alive. Along with Charlie as well.
After a fight to the death between Springtrap and Michael. Along with Charlie and Katherine aiding Michael. The attraction is burned down.
Michael, Katherine, and Charlie escape with their lives. With the building destroyed and most of their animatronic bodies finally being burned, the children can finally go to Heaven. Which surprises but fills Caroline with joy. But to her surprise, she senses William is somehow not destroyed. Despite to her children’s dismay of her not joining them, she promises them she’ll join them soon. But that she needs to take care of something before she fully moves on.
But while all of this was happening. Derek has been setting up a special project. Considering several Freddy’s around the country aren’t doing well. He has been preparing the Fazbear Funtime Service. A project in which animatronics are delivered to people’s actual houses.
On November 25th 2019, the Fazbear Funtime Service is launched. Amazingly and due to the surprise of COVID-19 spreading into America. The service becomes more successful than it was meant to be.
The construction of the Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizza Plex starts.
2020: The Fazbear Funtime Service goes on. But for some reason, a virus gets into the systems, and causes the animatronics to go berserk. During this, Vanessa now taking on the name Vanny starts enacting acts of violence and anarchy among Hurricane. With Carlton trying to investigate.
Ever since Fazbear’s Fright, Vanny has known Springtrap and overtime. She has been helping him. Including having the help of another employee named Matt.
To Derek’s surprise, Tanya discovers the reason behind Fazbear’s Frights and tries to tell Charlie and whoever else about what misdeeds Derek has been doing.
During those three years. Katherine and Michael slowly begin a relationship. That went from friendship to something more intimate. But unknown to Katherine, Michael keeps up the act that was a late son William had. Yet Charlie and others soon start to notice. Despite they have nothing against Michael. They insist he needs to tell the truth of who he is and how old he actually.
Including Charlie and Jessica fully embrace an intimate relationship as well.
Throughout 2020, Caroline tries to right her own wrongs by becoming mainly a Pacifist. A being that keeps to herself, hiding among people, trying to help innocents if she can. But never killing anyone again. Along with searching for William if she can ever find him. Luckily for her, she puts on a hooded cloak to hide most of herself.
Springtrap now in hiding, tries to live out whatever this life that is his now. Killing whoever that is in his way. Trying to look like a homeless man with an old hooded jacket, and a disposable face mask. Killing whoever is in his way, or whoever angers him.
Ever since 1997, Ennard now simply grown apart as Scrap Ballora and Scrap Baby, wander the wilderness as well. Sadly not having any purpose. But with Joanna possibly trying to follow in her best friends footsteps of protecting the innocent. But also simply not wanting to be separated from her daughter.
2021: Endgame.
After the events that happened at the Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizza Plex. Along with finally learning more about the stories of ‘Bearman’ killing the guilty that are kidnapping or harming the innocent. But also reading that there are similarities with a certain bear she knew from Fredbear’s Family Diner.
There are also sightings of a Puppet in a hooded cloak, two old worn down Funtime Animatronics, and finally, what appears to be a tall man in a worn out hoodie. Yet for some reason looks like an undead animatronic rabbit.
But also for some time, her parents graves looks like it has been visited by something at certain nights. Leaving large bear like footprints, and little claw marks on her mothers gravestone. As if the visitor was possibly hugging it.
It also helps there have been at times, a certain ‘Bearman’ has watched her from time to time. Including her finding out the same Fredbear animatronic that had crushed Evan’s head had disappeared two decades ago. Which shocks her as she realizes the horrifying possibility of what happened after reading the last few pages of her father’s journal of how he wanted to punish people like William if he can after his suicide.
Charlie takes over Fazbear Entertainment after Derek is caught for his misdeeds. She goes back to Fredbear’s Family Diner and has help to plan something.
Tired from the pain and suffering. But also horrified by the idea William is still out there. Along with even Joanna, Elizabeth, her mother, and even her father. All of the children have moved on...but not them.
During this as well, she soon learns her mother’s secret heritage which explains the hauntings even more now. That she was mainly a good witch.
She wants it to end. All in one place. With the building being reconstructed, her taking a Rockstar Freddy and remaking it. Along with researching her mothers heritage and possibly using it for this situation.
Operation: Rapture is at hand.

Cold. That was the first thing that Olivia’s brain processed.
Still with her eyes closed, she buried herself more into the duvet, while her arm blindly reached for the furnace in human form that she calls boyfriend. However, as soon as her arm was only met with cold sheets, her eyes shot open.
Blinking the sleep away, she sat up on the bed, searching for the infamous red clock resting on Ashton’s bedside table that was supposed to look like a vintage alarm clock. Olivia had ordered it online at an auction website a couple of years back, as a gift for his 23rd birthday, since it was something he had mentioned multiple times prior that he was looking for, but still hadn't found. But when it finally came in (two weeks after the due date), it looked nothing like the picture she saw on the website. Feeling beyond frustrated, she wanted to send it back immediately and ask for a refund and maybe leave a not so polite review on the seller's page. But Ashton stopped her right away, laughing like the situation was absolutely hilarious to him, while saying, 'I like it, it’s quirky'. So, the clock stayed and found a home right next to him in their room.
Some days, however, she would wake up at some ungodly hour because of the blaring noise of the only ringtone the clock had. But whatever annoyance she could feel towards the object, it always vanished as soon as she felt Ashton's lips gently touching her face in a good morning kiss before he would get up to start his day, leaving her to catch some more hours of well deserved sleep.
As the furthest from a morning person as a touring musician could possibly be, Olivia had always feared that living under the same roof as Ashton would turn her into an early bird like him, but she's thankful that it never happened (not that he needs to know about that).
When she sees the red clock, she smiles at the sudden but welcome memories of them flooding her foggy brain, but frowns slightly when she realizes it reads 12:13 pm. Ashton rarely lets her sleep past 10 am.
Gathering all her strength and will, she rises up from the bed, smoothly picking up a grey wool sweatshirt from the chair (way too baggy on her slim body, but it smells like him), pulling it over her head and relishing on the soft material warming up her body. Making her way to the door and calmly going down the stairs, she can’t help but stop for a minute to admire the picture frames on their walls, one in particular catches her attention – probably one of the most prized pictures and memories they had. It felt older than it actually is, but it was around 4 years ago, she's sure – a little while after the two of them met. The picture was of their group of friends that still remains the same: Ashton and his best friend, Luke; Olivia, her best friend, Calum and their old hometown friend, turned into Calum’s new friend at college, turned into everyone’s friend, Michael; and her then newly band members, Suki, Eli and Ravi. Together, their group was the life of the party through all their college years, and it showed by the big smiles and drinks in hands they all had in the picture. It was a very special night, the first time Olivia’s little band played for the public – for a small audience sure, but it was a wonderful night nonetheless. What a long road it had been since that night.
Her nostalgic thoughts were interrupted by a shiver that went through her whole body, and it made her realize how oddly cold the whole house was, not only their bedroom. Which, granted, it was November in New York and the weather was just getting colder, but that’s exactly why Ashton always made sure to keep the house warm enough. As much as she loved the chilly season, the warm weather always reminded him of his hometown, and who was she to deny him that?
The smell of fresh made coffee could be sensed even before she reached the kitchen. Arriving there, the curly haired woman still found no signs of her boyfriend, so she went straight after the coffee maker pot sitting on the far left corner of the cream marble counter. Smiling softly at the tons of memories of Ashton's sleepy figure making their favorite beverage, she reached for a coffee mug on the cupboard on top of the counter and poured the remainder of the hot liquid on it (it's her favorite mug, if she must choose – it was a gift from a fan, and it had printed on it a collage of the pictures of her and Ashton that were posted on social media through their first year of relationship).
Moving to the glass doors that lead to the mini garden they cultivate, she didn't have to open them to spot the 6-feet-tall man sitting on a bench outside, looking oddly small in his oversized clothes, coffee mug tightly held between strong hands. Something about his figure made Olivia frown, however: he was staring with an unwavering look at her small but eye-catching pot of yellow daffodils that were almost as much of a pet to them as Stitch at this point. Sensing that there’s something definitely off about his semblance, she made a mental note to talk to him and find out what’s wrong later. So she goes back to the kitchen, knowing that he might need this quiet and private moment for himself.
She lost count of the minutes that went by (couldn't have been more than five) before she hears the garden's door opening and closing, and then his bare feet are dragging his brawny body to her. Except, he goes over to the sink, walking right through her, not showing any sign that he even saw her hunched figure over the counter table in the middle of the room.
Alright, someone's in a mood.
Olivia tries to swallow the annoyance already bubbling inside her – he knows how much she hates to be ignored, no matter how mad he might be – by trying to think of what she can say that won't piss him off. This is always a hard feat to accomplish when Ashton gets in these moods, but there’s a reason for them to work so well together.
“I missed my favorite body heater when I woke up,” she says in her best sweet voice, knowing how quickly his resolve crumbles when he hears that voice.
Still, no reaction.
That settles a worry at the pit of her stomach, because Ashton is never like this. Even when he's not in the mood to talk, he always gives some kind of reaction to her words; it doesn't matter how small, just enough to make her feel acknowledged.
When he's finished washing his mug and the few scattered dishes across the sink – she noticed that he already had lunch, if the lone plate in the drying rack is anything to go by –, he dries his hand in a towel, turns around and throws it on top of the same counter Olivia was leaning up against. Once again, he walks away not even sparing her a look.
Indignant, she leaves the now empty coffee mug on top of the table and follows him as he walks up the stairs, any determination to not aggravate his mood now well gone.
“Hey! In case you didn't notice, I'm right here. Whatever got you in this sour mood, I'm certainly not to blame, so can you stop being a child now and talk to me?!”
Ashton just keeps walking – more like sluggishly dragging his body – until he reaches their bedroom and suddenly stops just merely two feet inside the room, looking around with vacant eyes; like he was expecting to see something that wasn't there.
“Okay, that's really mature of you. Are you planning on ignoring me all day then?” Olivia questions exasperated, staring angrily at the back of his neck, where the condor tattoo lives – her favorite of his, but that sight doesn't bring her any peace today like it usually does.
Her glare only breaks when she hears the familiar sound of dog tags swaying on her right side. Shifting her gaze to the direction of the sound, Olivia notices Stitch, their small, black & white French bulldog – who she thought was outside in the garden – slowly trudging his way from around the bed until he stops at Ashton's feet, looking up at one of his humans with sad eyes. That realization only makes the worry in her stomach grow uncomfortably.
“Hi buddy,” Ashton's voice cracks a bit from the lack of use, but he smiles softly at the sweet dog, and crouches down to pet him.
Olivia can't help but gasp as she notices three things all at once that leave her overwhelmed: first, how she didn't even notice Stitch was in the room when she woke up – which never ever happens, in fact, most days he wakes her up whenever he deems her bedtime as finished and can't ever contain his excitement when she finally gets up; second, how the windows blinds are closed, which, again, rarely occurs under their roof, not if Ashton can help it. And third, how sad and melancholic the whole scene in front of her is – how sad and melancholic Ashton is. Pointless to say by now – that's also a very rare occasion.
A chill creeps up Olivia's spine, putting her body into high alert and also serving as a reminder of how everything looks out of place today. Trying to keep her head from spiraling down way too soon, she wraps her arms around herself and crouches down beside her two favorite boys, trying once more.
“Ash? Can you hear me?” even with her throat closing, she softly asks, purposefully putting her face in Ashton's point of view. Her only answer is the low whispers he's letting out to Stitch, while cradling the tiny dog in his arms, spreading gentle kisses on his head.
“I know, bud, I know. I miss her too,” is the only whisper she could understand and immediately wishes she hadn't. The weak wail that comes from Stitch's throat seems to fit perfectly with how the three of them feel.
Ashton then looks up and for a couple of seconds, and Olivia can swear he’s staring right into her eyes. But when he shows no reaction, she knows he’s just staring ahead and not at her, with that look that says there’s too much going on inside his head. She feels the urge to embrace him and get him to talk about whatever is on his mind, so they can share that weight like they always do, but when Ashton gets up from the ground and settles on the bed with Stitch, Olivia can physically feel the crack in her heart caused by the feeling she’s left with.
While Ashton is pulling the duvet over him and the dog, with clearly no intentions of getting up anytime soon, Olivia stands up on her feet with a new-found determination – she needs to figure out what the hell is going on.
This nightmare had to be just that, right? Nothing but a very vivid dream – she's had those before. Scary sure, but they always go away, and soon enough she's back into Ashton's arms, with Stitch jumping on the bed ready to lick their faces off. She just needs to wake herself up from whatever fucked up dream this is – right?
She's running down the stairs this time, frantically in search of something, of what exactly, she doesn’t know – but she knows she needs an answer. The more she looks for something, the more desperate she gets, not knowing what to look for. Then suddenly, something catches her eyes.
The white and blue calendar that's held up by magnets on the side of the fridge. She knows their calendar is red and yellow. They got it from their favorite flower market. Slowly, as if scared of what it might be there – “It's just a calendar, for fucks sake” – she approaches the damn thing. Upon inspection, she deems it as a normal calendar – she really doesn't know what she was expecting – until.
She knows what's wrong with it now.
It's November. She knows it, because the Asian and last leg of her first world tour is about to begin November 21st, eleven days from today. Right after Mike's birthday, she knows this.
Then why does the calendar say today is January 14th?
☆ ☆ ☆
Ashton woke up with a jolt. He quickly sat up, frightening the little Frenchie that was asleep right next to him on the bed. Trying to make sense of his surroundings, he roughly rubbed his face to get some sleep off of it and soon reached for the dog that was staring at him with sleepy but sad eyes. Ashton is sure Stitch understands far more than a dog is supposed to understand about their current situation.
The room is covered in shadows, almost pitch black, but he can see the sunlight even through the thick dark grey blinds covering up the windows. Ashton knows he won't be able to sleep again at that moment, so he gets up from the bed – much slower than he used to. His heartbeat is still out of control because of the nightmare that woke him up, but he can't bother to pay attention to it when Stitch is softly wailing beside him. Ashton lets out a ghost of a smile when the dog rests his head on his right upper thigh, looking up at him with an expression Ashton knows all too well.
“C'mon you little ravenous creature, let's feed you,” the bulldog excitedly jumps to the ground, already running his way down the stairs, not even waiting for Ashton to get up.
That gets a real smile out of him, but it vanishes as soon as he glances at the alarm clock on his bedside table. It reads 5:13 am, nothing out of the ordinary for him. But that small and inoffensive clock, with its red paint peeling off, holds a lot of memories for him. Memories that two months ago would bring joy to his heart, but now he almost wants to throw the object across the room.
It was a stupid thing, really. He had been wanting a vintage alarm clock and Olivia got one for his birthday. But the product they received was definitely not the one she bought, and if he's being honest, he didn't like it as much as he made out to. But seeing her so excited in the weeks before it arrived, and how disappointed she was when it did, he couldn't help but try his best to make her smile that luminous smile again. It's part of his nature by now.
That's also the reason why he lets her think that he doesn't notice when she wakes up at some ungodly hour (her words, not his) along with him, because of the annoying and only sound the alarm clock is able to produce. He always leaves soft kisses in every inch of bare skin he can find on her sleeping figure, so she goes back to the dream land and doesn't wake up before 10 am. No one wants to deal with that kind of bad humor, not even him.
As much as he likes being a morning person and absolutely enjoys her company in the mornings, he knows she'll take any and every extra hour of sleep she can get before starting the day. And that's why he loves that she's so stubborn that his early bird tendencies never got to her – he knows she feared that this would happen when they moved in together, but he met her like this, fell for her like this. He wouldn't change a single thing about her.
Ashton drags himself out of the bed, wincing slightly at how cold the wooden floors are under his bare feet. He doesn't bother putting some socks on, or a sweater – the cold weather in the house is uncharacteristically comforting to him. Nothing feels warm without her anyway.
While descending the stairs, he mentally curses himself for not being strong enough to look past the picture frames on the wall. One in particular catches his eyes – a picture from the night of Olivia's first concert with her band. The memories of that night are still painfully vivid in his mind: the laughter among their group that eventually infected everyone at the pub, Suki and Luke's first kiss and the silly smile that didn't leave his best friend's face all night, the standing ovation Olivia got after her three-songs set, and her captivating and breathtaking smile that made him realize right then and there, while watching her sway to the music, that he was definitely falling in love with her and there was nothing he could do to stop it – not that he wanted to.
So many memories held up on that wall, in the relatively short time since they met, that he can't help but wonder if that's all they'll get in this lifetime.
Ashton is abruptly taken out of his thoughts by Stitch's barks coming from the bottom of the stairs. He quickly jogs down the few steps left and goes straight after the dog's food in the kitchen's cabinet. After Stitch starts to happily devour his breakfast, Ashton goes to make his coffee, doing enough for two people like he always does, since Calum drops by most days for a chat or to drop Duke before going to work. Although all three of them know he just can't bother to make food for himself in the morning, while Ashton is the group's elected chef. Ashton always says he just needs a boyfriend – Olivia says Calum already has one who makes him breakfast every day.
He grabs an apple from the fridge and makes his way outside to their garden. Even though a lot of their memories took place there, the garden is the only space in the house where he doesn't feel like suffocating all the time. At least here, he can breathe some fresh air and look at the sky when he's feeling overwhelmed – which is basically all he's been doing for about a month now.
Yet, a lot of the garden has Olivia's name written all over.
He remembers vividly the day she came home after spending two weeks in LA doing some pocket shows, with a pack of daffodil seeds and the largest smile. She excitedly told him that a friend gifted it to her when she mentioned the little garden they were planning to build together at their new house. The friend told Olivia that daffodils symbolize rebirth and new beginnings, so as the good lover of symbolism that she is, Olivia loved the idea of having those flowers to symbolize their new beginning.
Ashton, on the other hand, wasn't a fan of the flowers at first – he just didn't see the appeal to them. But nonetheless, he indulged her, letting Olivia plant the seeds near the bench they used to sit during the quiet and unrushed afternoons, so they could admire the sunset, and she could happily look at the daffodils.
Pointless to say – the damn flowers grew on him.
Now, however, looking at them without Olivia and her contagious joy next to him, they were back to be as dull as they were before, if not more so.
Still lost inside his head without any sense of how much time went by since he sat down, Ashton doesn't hear the front door closing, and doesn't notice that he's no longer the only person inside the house until someone sits next to him on the bench. Yet, he doesn't show any sign of acknowledgement to them.
A few minutes go by before either of them speaks up.
“Luke said you didn't go to see her yesterday,” Calum starts softly, not wanting to disturb the calmness of the morning.
Ashton takes a few seconds to respond, “No point in doing that.” The black haired man licks his lips while thinking carefully about his next words.
“You know staying inside this house all day by yourself won't help either,” Calum turns his head to his left and takes a good look at Ashton's uncharacteristically hunched over figure, and immediately thinks that anyone can tell this man is not himself anymore. His second thought is that Olivia would hate seeing him like this.
“And what exactly do you expect me to do? Move on with my life like nothing happened? Like I'm not slowly and painfully losing the love of my life? Just because it’s easy for you doesn't mean it's easy for me.”
Calum closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He knows Ashton doesn't mean it, it's the anger and frustration talking. He knows it. Doesn't make it sting any less.
“I'm not telling you to move on with your life, because that's far from what I'm doing, and I certainly don't expect you to do it. I'm just saying you need to occupy your mind or else–”
“I'll go insane? Think it's a bit too late for that,” Ashton interrupts with a bitter tone that doesn't belong to his usual chirpy voice.
“You know it's not,” Calum sighs and drinks the rest of his coffee, moving his body slightly, so he's facing the blonde man, “I got a job interview for you at that school you talked about so much last summer, the principal said you can go any day this week. I went ahead and sent her your resume as well as explained everything that she needs to know about Olivia, so you don't have to. You just gotta put on some decent clothes and show up.” he sees Ashton's face softening a little and takes it as a victory. A few beats go by and then, “Maybe take a shower too. That's gonna make you feel better.” Calum leans in closer to his friend's personal space and takes a sniff, causing Ashton to deflect from him slightly, but not to push him away – another small win.
“Definitely take a shower, you stink. When was the last time your hair saw shampoo?”
“Fuck off,” is Ashton's only reply to the younger man's inquest. But Calum can see a smile creeping up on the blonde's face, which brings out a smile of his own.
“I'll send you all the details later today,” he checks the hour on the watch on his wrist and gets up, “Just please, Ash, go. I can't lose you too.”
Calum gently lays a hand on Ashton's shoulder and squeezes a little. The man doesn't look up, but gives a curt nod to his friend, who's satisfied enough. Calum stops on the threshold of the garden glass doors to give some kisses to Stitch – who came to make Ashton company as soon as he finished his food –, and then he puts the coffee mug on the dishwater. And soon enough, he's on his way out of the door. But not before snatching a tangerine from the fridge.
Ashton is left by himself once again. As he hears the sound of the front door closing, he thinks that this might be his life from now on. Just him and Stitch, trying their hardest to make it through another miserable day without the love of their lives. While everyone else comes by just to make sure he's still breathing. Breathing, maybe, but alive?
Swallowing the tears, he looks up at the sky. It's a deep, beautiful mix of orange, pink and blue, but he knows that it won't last long and soon the rain will be pouring down. He thinks about how much Olivia loves the rain.
God, he needs to pull himself together. She would hate to see him like this. Maybe he should take Calum's offer after all, he really needs to occupy his mind.
Making a mental note to thank Calum later, and also to apologize for how rude he was to him this morning, Ashton slowly gets up from the bench to put his mug on the sink and makes his way to the living room, with the small dog loyally following his every step. He puts on some cartoon that for once doesn't remind him of her (she always lovingly made fun of him for still watching those) and cuddles with Stitch on the couch. He can take a shower later.
Not half an hour goes by, he falls asleep and has a good dream for a change. He dreams of the days he spent with Olivia in the Philippines last February, right before her first world tour started. Some of the most magical days of their lives – surrounded by delicious food, a whole new culture to learn about and the warmth of the sun. Infinite counted days full of love and passion, where they were the only people in the world.
Even his subconscious knows to hold on to that brief moment of happiness, because he might never live that again.

Hiyo!
For everyone new here, welcome! Glad to have you here. Hope you enjoy your stay!
For everyone who's been here for a while, Y'ALL ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN.
Yep, this is part two of why I hate Glee so much.
Let's get it. (If there's anything I forgot to mention, go ahead and add them on in the comments or reblogs.)
Obligatory TW: This contains subject matter that may be triggering for some audiences. The following post contains homophobia, biphobia, ableism, underage drinking, faking a pregnancy to manipulate a partner into staying with them, teachers being creepy towards students, mentioned past child m0l3stati0n and invalidation of the victim's trauma, statutory r@pe (between teachers and students), pr3datory behavior....you get the picture.
If anything mentioned above is triggering for you in any way, again, feel free to scroll past this and consume media that's safe for you.
Gentle reminder: This is all my opinion. This is my take on specific moments in the show, plus evidence to back everything up. Not asking for anyone to agree with me or anything.
***If you like the show, good for you. I couldn't care less. As long as you're not out hurting people, I don't care. Live your life.***
Sit back, relax, grab some snacks and drinks, and let's get to this thing.
How about I talk about Artie for a few minutes? He's a character I have a ton of issues with. Not because he as a character is disabled. That has nothing to do with why I have issues with Artie. The issues there have to do with his actor, who I'll get to in a minute. It's because everything Artie says that's considered problematic is excused and/or ignored simply because of his disability. They only focus on the fact that Artie requires a wheelchair to get around and nothing else. Honestly, it feels like they pity him and praise him just for being in a wheelchair. While he has had some rough times in the show, it doesn't change that he's no better than anyone and he's just as bad.
There are physically disabled actors who play roles of physically disabled characters and they never make it about how they require a wheelchair, a walker, or any other equipment to get around. An example of a physically disabled actor off the top of my head would be Michael Patrick Thornton. He plays Dr. Gabriel Fife on a show called Private Practice, which nobody mentions the chair and his character is a lot more than his disability.
Kevin McHale, Artie's actor, is an able-bodied actor who was cast as a physically disabled character who requires a wheelchair to get around. The way that Glee portrayed disabled characters in general was inaccurate, extremely unrealistic (i.e., Artie joining the football team and then being told that his wheelchair would be a safety risk....like, don't you have sports made for disabled people at that school? Because disabled sports teams do exist.), the storylines with Artie made no sense (i.e., his whole backstory, how he was the lead dancer in one episode and was never mentioned again), and it was offensive. There is a term for this that I didn't even know, and it's called "cr1pface". Basically, that's when able-bodied actors are cast as physically disabled characters. This is a reoccurring theme in live-action media and it's gross.
Glee could cast a Down's Syndrome girl JUST FINE. That's great. Love that. YET THEY COULDN'T BOTHER TO CAST A PHYSICALLY DISABLED ACTOR FOR THE ROLE OF A PHYSICALLY DISABLED CHARACTER. SPECIFICALLY A YOUNG PHYSICALLY DISABLED ACTOR. Because I very rarely see them in live-action media, if at all.
There are more physically disabled characters in cartoons than in live-action media. At least younger physically disabled characters. My point about how younger physically disabled characters need more representation in live-action media still stands. Just in GENERAL, y'all.
Artie isn't all innocent. Here are some screenshots of him sex-shaming Mary Sue and Blaine (a.k.a., Diet Br3nd0n Ur!3) for them not being close in their rendition of West Side Story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hey, ummm....news flash, this isn't what directors would actually require their actors to do, let alone request them to do. Unless a director is putting together an on-stage production that has anything to do with sex, they wouldn't do this. (I'm mainly talking about stage productions here, not movie productions. Movie productions are a little different in that aspect.) Also....why would a director who's supposed to be Mary Sue's and Diet Br3nd0n Ur!3's friend ASK FOR THIS? YOUR PLAY WILL NOT SUFFER IF THERE'S NO SEX WHATSOEVER. YOUR PLAY WILL BE FINE.
(I mean it this time. This is your last chance to scroll past this post, click off, whatever you gotta do. This next scene contains mentioned child m0l3stati0n and invalidation of the victim's trauma.)
I want to bring your attention to this scene:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the nail in the coffin for me to lose any respect I had for Artie left...which I didn't have much of, to begin with.
Ryder confides in the Glee Club about he was m0l3st3d by an older woman as a child. The older woman was HIS BABYSITTER. A person who was being paid to watch over him by his parents. An eleven year old child...just children in general CANNOT CONSENT to s3x.
(By the way, pedos, this is your daily, unfriendly reminder that your attraction to children is disgusting. Pedo apologists, the fact that you justify pedos being attracted to children is also disgusting. Get professional help. NOTHING can justify grown adults being romantically and/or sexually attracted to children. Stay the fuck away from kids. Pedos and pedo apologists will NEVER be welcome here.)
He didn't ask to be m0l3st3d as an eleven year old boy by a babysitter. When it's an eleven year old girl who gets m0l3st3d by her babysitter who just so happens to be an older man, people are more sympathetic towards the girl and condemn the man. Rightfully so. On the contrary, if it's an eleven year old boy who gets m0l3st3d by his babysitter who happens to be an older woman (like Ryder), people congratulate the boy, tell him he's "lucky", and they don't take what he went through seriously. Why? Because men are expected to ALWAYS want to have s3x, women are pretty much always assumed to be asexual and s3x-repulsed....you get my point. Men don't always want to have s3x. Women actually have s3x drives! SHOCKER.
Artie's response to Ryder telling him that he was literally m0l3st3d AS A FUCKING CHILD makes me SO angry, and I'm about to tell you WHY. They play it off as Artie being naïve and not knowing any better...ALL BECAUSE HE'S PHYSICALLY DISABLED. THEY TREAT IT AS IF HE'S MENTALLY DISABLED TOO, WHICH I CAN'T RECALL IF THEY HAVE EVER DISCUSSED THIS ANYWHERE IN THE SHOW. Seriously? Can you stop pitying and infantilizing disabled people who use wheelchairs to get around all because they use a fucking wheelchair? Naïveté is one thing (this is ONLY IF Artie GENUINELY DIDN'T KNOW anything about m0l3stati0n), but you know, they could've used this moment to teach him about m0l3stati0n and how it fucking affects people. Someone could have CALLED ARTIE OUT because he said something extremely fucked up DIRECTLY TO A VICTIM OF CHILD M0L3STATI0N! But nooooo! Apparently boys can't be victims of m0l3stati0n, according to the dumbasses plaguing the fucking planet, so I guess fuck the THOUSANDS of Boy Scouts who were m0l3st3d by their scout masters since 1944, right? /s
ENOUGH SAID. Let's move on.
The second character in this part I really wanted to get to is Mr. William Schuester, or Mr. Schue for short. Good GOD, this teacher...if I can even call him one at this point, is a terrible person and creepy as all hell. I will call Mr. Schue "Mr. Pr3dat0r" because he's a disgusting waste of splooge who should be in jail.
We can talk about how Mr. Pr3dat0r doesn't have any friends his own age (except for his fiancée, who faked a pregnancy to get him to stay with her), he was literally in the boys' locker room spying on Gary Stu (Finn) WHILE HE WAS IN THE FUCKING SHOWER because he was singing, blackmailed Gary Stu into joining the Glee Club™️ by planting drugs, he has put on racist costumes on quite a few occasions in the show, encouraged his students to twerk to the song "Blurred Lines", and got off on two of his students shaking their asses to the song "River Deep, Mountain High". He's fucking gross. I'll put down the screenshots as evidence so you can see what I'm talking about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

Mr. Pr3dat0r shouldn't be a teacher. I don't think I need to elaborate more. These pictures say enough.
