Anyway. Mike regaining a sense of bodily autonomy after years of trauma and being given the impression that he's not allowed to have boundaries or make choices.

Haircuts, piercings. He can change how he looks, if he wants. Nobody can stop him. He can lock his door, and people have to knock rather than just barging in. No one can make him lie for them, or force him to lie to himself until he gets confused about what really happened. People can't touch him without asking. Nobody is allowed to go rifling through his belongings without permission.

#smth cathartic about him slowly learning that his body is his own #honestly i feel like i'm still trying to hammer that into my own brain #idk it's just powerful to think of him being able to actually express that he does or doesn't want something when like #the way i write him he had reached a point before where he would just freeze. to come back from that? #to be able to say 'i want to make this change for how i look' or 'i don't like people touching my face' etc #it's. idk. proud of the theoretical concept of that much improvement ig #fnaf #michael afton #cw abuse
