something about vanessa afton

do you think she joined the police force as an act of defiance? to protect people, save children, one day maybe even take down her father? or was it an act of loyalty? did her father make her join? did he raise her to forever be his human shield?

the way he talks to her makes it seem as if she has been under his thumb the whole time, completely loyal until the last minute (“you had one job, keep him in the dark and kill him if he gets too close”). is she an officer so she can cover for him? how long has he been hiding behind his own daughter to protect the place he’s so “sentimental” over?

is she the one that hides the bodies? when did it start? how much of a role did she play in the killings? how long has she been cleaning up the blood that should be on his hands? when did it start to stain hers?

something about a little girl watching as her toy closet, her favourite restaurant, her life becomes a graveyard of kids her age. did he kill them so he didn’t have to kill her? in the end, did it even matter when he tried to kill her the moment she fought back?

does she visit the restaurant every night to cover up any mistakes bodies, or to pay her respects? she got so angry at mike when he left the door open, even when he didn’t know the truth of the restaurant. he just thinks she’s overly sentimental, like william, but she didn’t see it as a break-in. she saw it as a desecration.

how long has she stared into the eyes of the animatronics her younger self used to stare at in amazement, knowing what they are and what they’re capable of? has she ever felt a stab of irrational jealousy, knowing even after what her father did to these children they still see him as a friend, their hands don’t shake when he comes near, he calls them children when vanessa hasn’t been allowed to be a child since she found out what he had done? they get to stay young and naive forever, while she grows older and is never able to forget.

because even though she joined the police force to protect her father, she’s a trained emt. she knows where the first aid kit is. she knows where the nearest outpost with the right medical equipment to survive an animatronic attack is. some part of her hopes that just once, she’ll get there before it’s too late.

i really hope we get more lore about her in the next movie. i want to know more about her childhood, when she learned the truth and how it changed her. i know a lot of people aren’t fans of the change with william’s kids, but i think its a really interesting re contextualisation of the dynamics we were already familiar with!

William and the color purple.

Love the fact that William being associated with the color purple actually has meaning to it.

Like yeah purple has also something to do with shadows in 8-bit games but when it comes to William wearing purple, there’s a reason why he’s only being represented in that one color (besides the fact that he’s supposed to represent a shadowy figure which would explain why he physically looks purple in the games).

Like any color, purple can represent many themes and topics. For its positive, it represents royalty, luxury, the encouragement of self-knowledge and an air of mystery and the supernatural.

It’s all fine and dandy until we get to see what it’s negative represents.

When we think about the color purple’s negative meanings, we have conceit, pomposity and mourning which that last one would only be caused by death.

Now we are completely aware of what mourning and death mean and could all agree on attributing these two to William given the fact that he has a habit of spreading these two like a wildfire on a constant basis.

But what about conceit and pomposity? What do those two mean?

Conceit and Pomposity are synonyms to each other and both mean believing you are better than everyone else, having a super-sized self-confidence.

If we take off any kind of positive meanings of the color and only take the negative points, then we pretty much get William in a nutshell or rather his book counterpart (his game counterpart is also perfectly being described by the color but the books have been able to show more of his personality).

Book William Afton considers himself to be a genius, a scientist who found the answer for immortality. He shows to have a high opinion of himself and sees everyone else as a liability, a nuisance or simply doesn’t think they’re capable of understanding what he seeks (ex: Elizabeth, robot Charlie’s friends, etc.). The man has barely any sympathy or compassion for anyone who dies by his hands or by the animatronics and believes he alone is the only one who will not get wiped out by them because he believes he’s above anyone else. He also spreads around death and mourning due to his egotistical views and only cares about getting what he wants from the deaths (which are the remnants he collects from the kids) he committed.

So purple is legitimately William’s color due to the way that he thinks, behaves and, least we do not forget, his looks due to the fact that he mostly stays in the shadows.

What is very ironic however, is that his creations are part of the positive purple group since one of them talks about creativity which in William’s case would lead to the supernatural and is also a part of purple’s positive meanings. His actions (molding the animatronics) represented a positive aspect of purple but then lead to become a negative one after what he had done to the five missing children.

Okay, so now I've JUST NOTICED the weight set in Mike's room, from that gifset. That clearly he wasn't prepared to sell to pay bills or anything. Coupled with the push-ups he apparently does after he wakes up...boy was concerned with being Strong.

Or maybe just doing a lot of cardio - so he could run faster :(:(:(

But then I noticed in a recent moodboard for Mike that in that picture from his childhood, with Garret and his parents, he's doing a 'strongman'/flexing pose...so was that always him? And feeling like he didn't protect Garrett just turned it up to eleven?

#many thoughts #from his sad life :(#mike schmidt #garrett schmidt #fnaf meta #fnaf movie spoilers

You know if you really think about it, gen z preteens latching onto a series about corporate apathy and greed enabling the ongoing slaughter of children actually makes a weird kind of sense.

Hope this clears it up

Anyway I’m going to ramble excruciatingly under the cut

Some of these are just me having a bit of fun, case and point, the Jack-o-animatronics: I don’t really consider them to be real entities but they fit so nicely with the desolation I couldn’t resist. If they were in any way tangible I’d stick them in with the dark as they’re still technically nightmares. I guess.

I’ve already talked abt Mike, but I wanna defend my Evan classification as well; you could argue that Evan would be better for the end or the dark, I think hunt works better (in general I think this series is hunt/stranger coded) because that’s what haunts every aspect of his life. He never feels safe and is always being watched.

Returning to my having-a-bit-o-fun clause: do I really think that characters become avatars for different entities over time, i.e. Evan is hunt when he’s alive then buried when he’s Golden Freddy? No —I picture it more like certain entities marking them throughout their lives, like Jon and Martin. I classified them by the entity that dominated their life at that time. Example: when Jon was a child, I’d put him under the web, when he’s an adult, I’d put him under the eye.

Idk if I need to defend the toy animatronic classification here. I don’t personally think they’re haunted, so their purpose is to hunt down and kill Afton. Nuff said

Notice how Funtime Freddy and Foxy are in hunt while Baby and Ballora are in the stranger! Interesting! Same with the toy animatronics, I don’t consider them to be haunted, more like driven by some other desire to kill. Side note: the funtimes are my favorite animatronics and SL is best game. Moving on.

I feel like flesh mangle is self explanatory, but i just wanna caveat that I consider them 50/50 flesh/hunt with the rest of the toys.

Spiral is all the hallucination animatronics, which is why phantom mangle is here but the rest are not because, again, I don’t consider the toy animatronics to be haunted. I consider these ghosts of soulless beings.

Nothing for corruption! Sad. The only thing I could think of was that purple mold Springtrap from special delivery, but like hell I’m bringing those non-canon assholes into this. This is complicated enough as is.

Again, the eye is kinda a goof, if anything I’d say that it’s an object with fear power, like Annabel’s camera or Jon’s tapes. I think it’s actually pretty fitting with the way it literally stalks Evan through the story. I take it back it’s not a goof I’m a genius.

The blob is so stupid. I almost hate to acknowledge it. It goes into the vast because it’s canon universe existence is that it’s the melded forms of all the animatronics ever I guess? Including chica and other animatronics that weren’t at the fnaf 6 location when it burned WHATEVER I’m not getting into it— it’s a writhing screaming mass of murdered souls it’s going under vast.

We don’t actually have any solid proof this grey pixel man is Henry but that’s how I’m gonna interpret him for my purposes. (Don’t get me…fucking stated…on how these games delivery bits of lore….so stupid…) Henry’s going under lonely because he lost his daughter and the tragedy of that consumed his life. (bluh bluh but in the books it says he has a son and wife— I do not care about the books 🔪)

I’m kinda using the stranger classification for all the characters with intense identity issues? Can I also tangent about something else that bothers me? I do not believe that Ballora is haunted with Mrs. Aftons ghost. I say I don’t believe because I acknowledge that this is the reality the canon wants us to believe, but can we stop for just a second and ask where this fact is presented?? I have no idea if it’s in the books. I don’t care about the books. As near as I can tell the only piece of in game confirmation is the Easter egg in security breach where the Ballora-looking staffbot is sitting at the Afton table. That’s IT!!! How fucking insulting is that, like you’re such a discarded piece of set dressing that your murder and dismemberment aren’t even worth bringing up. I can’t understand making this canon it makes no fucking sense, so like throughout all of sister location Mrs. Afton just had nothing to say to her son or her daughter and THEN in ultimate custom night she still has nothing to say to her husband like I’m not asking for a monologue but why bother canonizing it at this point

Sorry I just had a moment of clarity and became hyper aware of where I am and what I’m doing *shudders*

Anyway, I’m gonna summarize my whole beef with this headcanon: Baby and Ballora aren’t haunted by the spirits of Elizabeth and Mrs. Afton, rather I think they’re metaphocally haunted by their memory. Like, we can’t really speak for Ballora but Baby talks at length about the incident with Elizabeth, the only child she ever killed. You could say her distress was all a ploy to gain Mikes trust, and I think that’s probably mostly true, but I really feel like she’s been down here all these years just thinking about it, going over it again and again. Why did that happen? Especially poignant if you pair it with the idea that William might have assumed Elizabeth haunted her after this and spoke to her as such. I just think it’s a much more compelling narrative to have a sentient robot (we know she’s always been completely sentient even before she killed Elizabeth because she describes details of her life from before the incident) be haunted by an action she had no control over, and then an identity thrust upon her that she didn’t understand or want. Pretending to be Elizabeth may have even been a coping mechanism she learned, being the only thing that would make William stop torturing her.

Since this is already as long as it is, another tangent: I like to image that William tried to meld his wife and Ballora together, and with her last dying breath she told him to fuck off and spat in his face, then faded away to the Christian afterlife, which is canon in all Scott’s Games games.

Glamrock Freddy also gets to go here for his intense canon identity issues. This is also the reason I’m not down with the mike-possesses-Glamrock-Freddy theory, I think it cheapens his character. “I am not me” is a much more powerful line for a robot who’s struggling with this identity he had no say in than the ghost of Michael Afton like, idk trying to disown himself?

I’m still very unsure about putting the main four under slaughter instead of hunt or stranger. My reasoning here is that they’re compelled towards senseless violence because they came from senseless violence and are now cursed to perpetuate it. Shrug. They could fall under a lot of categories.

Buried Golden Freddy is one I feel pretty passionate about. Trapped, confined, cannot move or communicate. Literally locked away to bury the Fazbear troubled past.

Also I’m not acknowledging Cassidy. Possibly the worst introduced piece of lore. If she has to exist why not have her haunt one of the other main four animatronics, it makes no sense for her to be in golden freddy, like William started killing kids and just decided to stuff one of their bodies in the incredibly emotionally significant one that ruined his life? Why? Also the game that “proves” her existance, UCN, when referring the “the one you should not have killed” they use he pronouns. It just makes sense for it to be Evan, like narratively and with the lore already presented. Like I’ve seen some people quibble like “but the newspaper clippings said five kids went missing” yea and the fifth kid could have been Charlie! This isn’t a loose end, there’s no reason to introduce a character like this and furthermore *just imagine me fading into static here*

The dark is pretty self explanatory: all the nightmares go here. Whether you consider them tangible animatronics used to scare Evan or literally just nightmares, I think theyre pretty clearly entities of the dark. Sun and Moon are here too —at first I put them in the stranger cuz they also sorta have an identity thing going on, plus, literally clowns, but someone on insta (I think it was awacatin but i can’t remember and i dont know how to check!!) mentioned they’d be good with dark which is actually so much better. Like their whole think is lights on/lights off like the dark kinda runs their lives.

Web gets the SB subset of glitchtrap/Vanessa/vanny —I think the webs pretty good for mind control stuff already but then its also like. Computers/interweb/bugs/viruses etc Big evil plan type of characters, lying in wait, putting everything into its place to get the desired result etc. And then Lefty gets to be here cuz its a device for capturing, luring, tricking, secrets, etc etc etc.

William again could go a lot of different ways. Someone else on insta (again no idea who sorry!!) mentioned it be pretty satisfying to put him in the slaughter (cuz you know, the man behind the slaughter) but I dont really think violence was what drove him, I think it was an obsession with death and a need to control it. My personal interpretation of him is that he was partially driven mad by the loss of his son and then daughter, hating the weak helpless feeling it left him with, hating feeling vulnerable, so he tries to overcome it to, like, literally beat death. It’s not so much that he wants to bring his son back to life (though I think he does) it’s that he wants to nullify death as a concept completely. And through those means, becomes an avatar who cannot die. Ergo, all the traps go here (except glitchtrap, which I don’t really think is imbued with Williams soul or whatever? Cuz how could it be that doesn’t really make sense. I prefer the more esoteric explanation of just like, an inanimate non-living object becoming possessed and malevolent just because of the evil fearful entity it was born from.)

Charlie/Marionette also gets put here because of her deathless powers. I like to think, like Georgie, she got made into a death avatar against her will. Just through the act of being killed by a death avatar but being too stubborn to succumb to her fate. I think also, the reason she possesses her animatronic longer than the others, withstanding the fire etc is because she’s not actually haunting her suit the way the others are. Like, the others are haunting their suits because Charlie helped them and they’re literally hidden in the suits bodies, but Charlie isn’t inside the puppet (there’s literally no way, the puppet is too small to hide a body inside) she’s more like merged with it? And then also the phantoms. Deathless creatures without bodies haunting you and driving you insane. Pretty cut and dry.

So, uh, I hope that clears it up.

It is 12:30 in October 28th, and I just finished watching the fnaf movie and, as routine, I feel an urge to infodump :)

SPOILERS FOR FNAF MOVIE UNDER CUT!!!! Everyone who also watched it remember to correctly tag so that ppl can block it!!!

Really recommend to watch first cause it was nice to watch :) even if not PEAK storytelling IMO IMO IN MY FIRST IMPRESSION OPINION DONT JUMP ME

Ok so it was odd??? A lot of the lore kinda got messed up in translation, but I can’t help but feel so grateful anyways???

Ngl I would’ve probs shit on the movie if it wasn’t for my friend who, in a convo, mentioned how sad he was that everyone hated the red eyes cause “we’ve been waiting so long, why does it matter they got red eyes?”

Bc of this I gave it a shot, and it was not bad.

I was scared of how it’d turn out just bc the fnaf lore is SO much that even SCOTT HIMSELF doesn’t know where we at, but for the amount of info they were dealing with, they decided to kinda maneuver in their own iteration of it (imo) which wasn’t completely hate-able and I think it was a pretty good course of action

I liked references to the og lore (

-Vanessa’s coma at the end

- how foxy is the most OUT TO GETCHA

- the afton death scene was PEAK IMOOO “I always come back” like mk girll 💅

- also the whole set was actually fire

- telephone guy even if he wasn’t red ;(

- constant mention of exoskeletons and spring trap mechanisms

- BALLOON BOY THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY MADE ME JUMP

- ITS ME WRITTEN IN THE WINDOW YESSSSSSSAAAAA

- the children inside the suits detail had me like YESSS

- funky electricity

- BALLPIT SCENEEE

- the bite even if it was her whole ass fucking torso

- the cupcake cool

- Vanessa inclusion and her relation to afton

- etc other things I can’t remember)

ALSO MATPAT CAMEO????? HELLO???????? ITS JUST A THEORY???? I also found out my brother does not know who he is and that was SAD. It’s ok ima show him tmrrow :D

Also also the effort put into the ACTUAL ANIMATRONICS, I was actually so shocked I was so ready to just accept it was all gonna be sfx and green ppl but they actually BUILT it, and that materialization just made it that much better for me like watching it and realizing wo man this is insanee

Just thinking how it was such a tiny project and then it just BOOM and here we are???? Omaiga. It rlly motivates u to get out there, no?

I loved them pushing the boundaries of where the animatronics could go w golden Freddy, even if he got me SO confused lore wise like wait y r u here? same for the weird kill freddy mask like hello???

IT MADE ME SO HAPPY HAVING THE TOMBSTONE SONG THEREEEEE YIPEEEEE

Music wise it was so cool too like it was pretty preppy and happy like kids parties and even in normal scenes (e.g. him picking up sleeping pills) it kept the mood up

I didn’t like the career dude being afton, but he was suspicious and i knew smth was gonna happen so ig not out of the blue, but I do like how it kinda went full circle

I am still confused abt Vanessa, but not overly so it’s ok

I actually cried when Abby and the animatronics became friends I was so happy, it got taken away but alas it is fnaf :)

We love the undiagnosed PTSD of the characters

I was bummed when it didn’t close out w the scene where the animatronic heads where no longer have a light behind them (meaning they’ve moved on) I honestly think it would’ve been such a COOL way to close it out but I was not the producer and maybe they plan to continue it??? Continue the curse of too much lore??? That’d be hilarious actually

I’m sad abt how dirty michael gets done through most of the movie like hes just doing his best stopppp

It’s just first impressions, and I’m VERY outdated w the lore, but I like ranting and tumble lets me so I do it :) lmk ur thoughts too!!!!

My contribution to the Weekly DCA Magma!

Went from 'what if I drew Eclipse" to "what if I worked on my Lord Elipse!AU design" to "you have been in the magma for 10 hours go to bed". There's things I'd like to change, I want something a bit different for his design than my 'default' DCA, and I'm still not certain about the drips from his crown. But it was a lot of fun!

(If you're wondering 'shit how did you do that in _Magma_: soft eraser at about half opacity and density, soft pen also at half opacity and density, hard pen at full opacity and density. go back and forth between them to get smoother edges. use the lineart as part of the highlights. for the metal i looked up a tutorial)

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.

The Fredbear animatronic was going through its programmed routine when it bit down on Crying Child's head. Who's to say it stopped there? Did it keep moving? Did it turn its head side-to-side, shaking CC's limp body like a rabbit in a hound's jaws? Did it finally open its mouth again and drop his body at his brother's feet? Did William see all of this while shoving his way in slow motion through a panicking crowd?

ok thinking about how Michael is both introduced into the story in a mask and (presumably) leaves it in a different one & how that not only shows how much he changed but also how the way he wanted to be perceived changed

Because the first time we see him it's in the foxy mask which has a ton of (potential) symbolism on its own bc like

There's the whole predator animal(bear)Henry vs prey animal(rabbit) William dynamic and Michael starts out as the fox

Which on the one hand is mainly known for being tricky and self-interested, it's not clear yet who's side he'll end up on, as a child he's only concerned for himself.

At the same time though, what are foxes mainly known for hunting?

Rabbits.

Even this early on, Michael hates his father and wants to act out and rebel even if he doesn't know why yet. It's only later on though, only after he's clearly been betrayed by William and gotten scooped that he's definitively on Henry's side with a bear mask and character of his own

Then there's the appearance of the mask itself contrasted with the later one in fnaf 6. While the foxy mask was bright red, toothy, and clearly meant to be intimidating, the polar bear mask is the most placid harmless face imaginable.

And like this character who in his first instance was a child trying to scare other children by making himself look big and threatening ends up choosing a mask to look as approachable as possible and hide a rotting torn up body that would probably scare the snot out of anyone at first glance. I just can't let go of that.

The Afton kids adoption theory is very dumb. Here’s why.

I never understood the logic behind thinking that William adopted Michael, Elizabeth and the Crying Child for experimenting on them.

Like what makes people think that he took the time of his day to file adoption papers, buy scholarly books, toys, essentials like toothbrushes and clothes and extra food to feed them if the man absolutely despises kids????

People are trying to justify him having kids without putting Mrs. Afton in the picture and that is a load of crap. Just because that woman isn’t around and her name hasn’t been revealed to us, doesn’t mean William adopted three random kids to experiment on them. If he really wanted to experiment on kids without having to go through all the paperwork and human growth process, he would have simply kidnapped three children and kept them in his office. That’s it.

Like, think about it for a second.

The idea of William adopting kids is such a far-fetched theory that it makes William look completely out of character. If he adopted Michael to experiment on him, why would he willingly let him have friends (aka C.C’s bullies) and go outside?

If he adopted Elizabeth to experiment on her, why would he not let her get close to Baby but let other kids get closer?

If he adopted C.C to experiment on him, why would he warn him through the golden Freddy plushie to be wary of his surroundings and promise him that he’ll put him back together?

Also, the idea of the Afton children being humanoid robots (like the Charlie from the Silver Eyes book trilogy) doesn’t make any sense either since we see C.C’s head almost getting crushed to death by Fredbear (before he eventually dies from it), Elizabeth’s whole body getting squashed inside of Baby’s and Michael’s organs and insides getting scooped by Ennard.

But let’s say the Afton children weren’t robots or weren’t being adopted by William to get tested on and used. Let’s say, that William genuinely wanted kids but wasn’t able to get into a relationship with anyone due to him being off-putting (no joke he was described as being a very odd man in the books). If that was true, then how could it have been possible for Michael to have said that the Funtimes mistook him for William if he was only his adoptive son? The Funtimes didn’t know who Michael was at first but once they took a good look at him, they genuinely thought he was his father. If he got adopted by him, then that line of his would have never existed. Since Sister Location confirmed to us that Michael was biologically related to William, that detail also helps us to confirm that C.C is also related to William due to Micheal and C.C having some physical similarities like their iconic brown hair and their skin colour (grown-up Michael’s skin becomes more similar to C.C’s). As for Elizabeth, she has the same accent as her father and oldest brother which confirms that she got her looks from her mother (their accents are very important for this part since they all live in Hurricane Utah so the chances of finding other british accents in the 1980s in that area is very improbable).

The adoption theory is literally one of the worst fnaf theories I have ever heard in the entire community. And that is saying a lot if you’ve been a fan since 2014.

The man simply got married, divorced his wife after the bite of 83 and got to keep his remaining kids due to having won the lawsuit against his wife. (Proof of the lawsuit scene was in the Security Breach retro CDs if you don’t remember) .

It’s as easy as that. William never adopted for experimentations. If he did, his energy and time being wasted on three experiments wouldn’t have made sense if all he wanted from them was remnant. William also never adopted for the faint of heart since his children got his and his wife’s looks. And finally, William never built his children because their deaths proved they were actual humans.

There were no indications, proof or evidence in the games and books that suggested the Afton children were adopted by William. If anything, there were much more to say about the children being biologically related to him rather than the opposite. This theory had way too many plot holes and more questions than answers that it might as well just turn itself into a headcanon for the fans to enjoy.

#the fact that this theory only gives more proof that Mrs Afton is canon is amazing #since the people who made the theory tried to prove that she wasn’t real #of all my years of being in the fandom I have not once heard of this theory circulating around until this year #im not joking I literally just heard of this theory during this exact month that I’m writing this #but then apparently I checked Reddit and this theory has been talked about for OVER 5 YEARS AGO WHAT THE HELL-#fnaf william afton #fnaf william #fnaf #fnaf afton #fnaf aftons #five nights at freddy's #afton #william afton #michael afton #elizabeth afton #crying child #the crying child #evan afton #fnaf meta #fnaf michael afton #fnaf elizabeth afton #fnaf evan afton #fnaf evan #fnaf micheal #fnaf elizabeth #fnaf afton family #fnaf rant #fnaf books #fnaf games #fnaf theory
