Explaining FNAF: Hurricane Pt. 1: Before the Storm

Having special interests in FNAF and human nature (especially its oddities) can apparently have adverse effects on a subject. The subject being me.

(Warning, there's a lot)

I have autism, the kind where I get super invested in a niche and can never let it go for just about years on end. My niche is William Afton and his family which has been combined with my trivial knowledge of mental health, mental conditions, neurodivergence, history, storytelling, psychology, etc. to create this conglomerate clusterfuck that is the Hurricane AU.

The alternate universe at its core focuses on the father-son dynamic between Michael and his father William. There are six parts to the Afton Family arc:

Wild Cat

Before the Storm

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria

Freddy's Emporium

and Reunion

I'll infodump about Before the Storm because that's the first one I mentally created and what I have the most art of.

The lore aspect of FNAF isn't apparent at the moment, that will come later on after the characters are properly introduced with all of their flaws, quirks, positives, negatives, and before the catalyst of the whole plot kicks off, starting from 1980 and ending in 1983. This introduction/rising action section has been dubbed what it is called because Hurricane, Utah and I'm a smartass.

Everything in the Hurricane AU happens very slowly at first and when it kicks off, it shoots like a fucking rocket. It's the small details that have the biggest impact for this first section in order for the rest of the story to make sense, especially why things happen the way they do.

Let me introduce you to the family,

Michael Afton:

Oh, yeah, he's a teenager. Cocky, argumentative, confrontational, and the main character of the entire AU. Before the Storm follows him through his upper teenage years: 15 - 18 (fifteen to eighteen). This guy can fit so much resentment in him. He's also inherently kind, artistic, and stubborn in both a good way and a bad one. His mom left with his baby sister when he was thirteen (13) years old and noticeably hasn't been the same since then. Highly embarrassed of what's left of his family (especially his effeminate, odd, and immature father) plus lack of at-home attention has led to a lot of stunts. He's by no means a hateful person, but he doesn't have the ability to express his unhappiness in a proactive way.

Evan Afton:

A rambunctious elementary school kid. As Michael's kid brother, it's his duty to annoy the shit out of him, and as William's middle child, make him fear for his son's life at times. He isn't careful, so accidents happen a lot with him, see the road rash scars on face, arm, and leg. Through his section he's 7 - 10 (seven to ten) years old, and deals a lot with school, peer, and at-home stress, but he's a generally happy child. He isn't without his quirks, Evan is loud, mean, destructive, and likes to deal with his problems very physically (he's a fighter). Evan deals with night terrors every so often, has some twitches and tics, and by god does he have a temper.

Elizabeth Afton:

Lizzie is far more used to privilege and a quiet home, coming from an estate in London, living with her mother for the six (6) years of her life, but the first summer over to Utah in 1980 led to the interesting discovery that she could be loud, messy, and by her mother's terms, 'un-ladylike'. She provides an outside perspective into a household that has music constantly playing, an argument or fight always happening, and a mess somewhere. She's highly energetic, imaginative, and friendly. Michael had no problem sharing his loud and argumentative nature with her, making her a handful when she comes around.

And William Afton:

Co-owner of Fredbear's Family Diner and Fazbear Entertainment immigrated from London, William has a lot of loves: his children, Henry and his mind, creating whatever he can figure out, and rabbits to name a few. He feels everything with a fierce intensity, and he'll express the intensity. That's typically where problems arise. Especially between him and Michael. Their arguments are usually about not understanding the other. William is a troubled individual, but he does his best to make good choices, but he slips in his decision-making very often. He's chaotic, spiteful, intelligent, energetic, and kinda funny to watch per Michael and Henry's fair opinion. He's fairly young, 32 (thirty-two) years old circa 1980, and at times, acts like a child himself.

Before the Storm has a soap opera feel because the main plot hasn't started, but there's still a lot of backstories to explore and character dynamics to introduce before they're whiplashed by tragedy. The section is treated as a control for what is going to change in on-coming parts. I also just wanted something that felt good with all of the rest being angst.

A tragedy as big as losing a child can take over lives, (especially in a sudden accident) and the family in Before the Storm are the lives that it took. So, this part is an inside view into what exactly was lost.

Feel free to ask me questions; encouraged, really, I love to talk about it. A lot.

WOW OKAY THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT ON THE FIRST ONE OMG DHDJJDJD

I plan on writing them for the whole Afton family sooooooooooo

!! Crying Child Headcanons !!

The fredbear toy was the only gift he ever received and he treasured it so much

It went everywhere with him, to dinner, to school, to bed, etc. They were never seen apart

He vented to it a lot, especially after one of Michael's torments or a scary encounter with an animatronic

Elizabeth would help emotionally support him, trying to teach him to stand up against Michael. He loved (and feared) Michael way too much to ever actually retaliate but appreciated Elizabeth's words nonetheless

He kinda gives me old soul energy, like the type that would just sit in nature and be so at peace when he was alone

His throat starts to close up when he tries not to cry, to the point it feels like he can't breathe, and his face gets all red before he eventually just bursts in tears

Played dolls a lot with Elizabeth, happily following wherever she wanted to take the story as to avoid unnecessary conflict

They tried to get Michael to join a lot, it never worked

William saw the bite of '83 happen through the camera eyes in CC's fredbear toy after CC dropped it

Even as a ghost, he doesn't blame Michael for long. Of course, he's upset, but slowly learns to forgive as he sees Michael trying to repent for their dad's sins his whole life

Sat in the animatronic workshop as a SUPER young kid, watching William and Henry work, smiling and giggling whenever he was given attention

Michael and William taught him to be afraid of animatronics so he eventually stopped hanging out in that room but he still had fond memories of the place

Sleeps in a fetal position, fredbear toy held tightly in his arms the entire night

Drew fredbear a lot, eagerly showing his entire family every single time (typically in crayon)

Always wanted a pet of some kind (he wasn't picky about what animal exactly, even a mouse would do)

Once he saw his dad kill, he felt so conflicted

He loved his dad dearly, so to see him do something like that multiple times rattled him to his core

Probably was a little fearful of Cassidy and how aggressive she was

Before his soul was free, he begged and tried to convince Cassidy to move on with him, but she was too stubborn and he ended up hesitantly leaving alone

Rocking and hiding under objects such as tables helps calm him down whenever a panic attack creeps up on him

Ran to Elizabeth crying whenever Michael was being mean and slept in her room when he would get nightmares

Would wait for his dad to come home like a puppy

One of his fondest memories was when Michael was in a good mood and allowed Elizabeth and him to play with his hair

They all got along well when they were in a good mood (until Michael thought they did something stupid, in which case the cute moment is now over)

That wraps up CC's headcanons!

Elizabeth will be next, then William!! I'm actually having lots of fun posting these.

I also want to post romantic headcanons for Michael, I think it would be neat.

I might post some art as well sometime since I've been drawing the Afton family a lot lately! Especially Michael. They're really inspiring for art <3
