#currently thinking about the springlocks releasing on Michael (not very quickly or efficiently tho‚ since the mechanisms are old

Suggestion for that idea of Michael hiding inside a Fredbear suit: Combine them. Evan is nice. Or he seems nice. At first. There is a slow horrible realization for Michael and the reader that this poor boy isn't okay. Evan finally has his brother's attention, finally has a brother who says he loves him and apologizes and Evan *refuses* to let Michael leave him again. ("The springlocks only hurt for a moment. Then we can friends forever.")
(post to which anon is referring)
OH that is so mean, i LOVE it
just like,, Evan's been isolated and alone for years with nothing but his own pain and fear. Then, finally, someone finds him, someone sees him! Not only that, but this person is his brother; his brother is empathizing with him and treating him kindly after years of Evan believing he wasn't worthy of such a thing, hence Michael's tormenting and Evan's eventual death.
Saying that Evan "isn't okay" to me implies one of two things: 1) that Evan has still been carrying around the emotional trauma that Michael's abuse scarred him with and thus is emotionally "not okay", or 2) like the other animatronics, Evan's spirit has been twisted into something that, if not outright malicious, then doesn't understand the reality around him or the consequences of his own actions and is liable to (accidentally) kill, and is therefore psychologically "not okay."
But either interpretation could easily loop back around to "Evan spent a long time in his very short life being tormented and abused and quite possibly believing he deserved it, and now that he's been shown a single ounce of kindness from someone he loves, he is NOT letting that kindness escape no matter the cost."
