• I’m confused on this.

  I believe Moon is the only animatronic in SB that can kill you even when you’re hiding in Freddy’s chest cavity? Is that a glitch, or intentional? submitted by /u/Worth-Chocolate3553 to r/fivenightsatfreddys [link] [comments]

• Afton's Romanticization: A fandom epidemic (Long text)

  ❗ Afton’s Romanticization: A Fandom Epidemic Let’s be honest — the romanticization of William Afton is one of the most frustrating, confusing, and harmful trends in the FNaF fandom. It’s enough to make creators, AU writers, and even fangame developers feel discouraged. And for what? A character who’s always been shown as irredeemably evil? This post is not to shame anyone who has a harmless headcanon or simply enjoys the drama. But if you believe that Afton has a noble heart, or that he loved his children and just made "bad choices," then this is for you. No Redemption Arc — Not Then, Not Now. Since 2014, Scott Cawthon has never presented William Afton as a kind, regretful, or even remotely humane figure. Quite the opposite, the more time passes, the worse he becomes. From the games to the books, every addition to the lore shows him spiraling deeper into monstrous cruelty. Yet somehow, people still try to inject "noble motivations" into his actions. Some used to say: "He wanted to bring Crying Child back!" as if this made him less of a monster. Then The Tales from the Pizzaplex and Edwin Murray’s story came along, revealing Afton as manipulative and selfish long before any murders took place. He was never a tragic dad. He was always rotten. 💔 The “Elizabeth Was His Favorite” Myth Let’s talk about the fanon claim that Elizabeth was his favorite child. Why? Because she was the youngest? Because she was a girl? There is not a single canon scene where William shows affection toward her, no tenderness, no compliments, not even a basic fatherly gesture. In The Fourth Closet, he slaps her across the face when she tries to show him a drawing. In Sister Location, her death is indirectly his fault, and he never expresses guilt or sorrow. Instead, he uses her soul to power one of his machines. That’s not love. That’s exploitation. Some say, "But he warned her about Circus Baby!" that’s not care. That’s control. His warnings were shallow, vague, and emotionally manipulative at best. It’s just as plausible that he wanted her death to happen "by accident", or at least didn’t care if it did, he only cared that his creation was frustrated. 🧸... Michael and Crying Child: Also Pawns The fandom often claims that Michael suffered abuse and was the "least favorite." But canon doesn’t clearly support this. In fact, Crying Child and Elizabeth seem to be the ones most directly harmed — either emotionally or physically — by Afton’s neglect and manipulation. It’s time to realize: Afton doesn’t have favorites. He doesn’t love. He only values people as long as they’re useful. 💔The Real Nature of William Afton Here’s where many people miss the mark: William Afton is not written as mentally ill. He’s not a diagnosed psychopath. He’s not a victim of trauma. He’s not some comic relief serial killer from the 80s. He is something much darker. He is a man who fully understands right from wrong, and deliberately chooses evil. That’s what makes him so terrifying. He has the capacity for empathy, guilt, and morality, but he actively rejects it all. Not because he’s broken, but because he doesn’t care. He wants to harm, deceive, manipulate, and destroy. And that, in itself, is far worse than being a "crazy killer." Tools, Not Loved Ones 💔 William doesn’t love his children. He doesn’t love anyone. What he loves is control. What he values is usefulness. As long as someone can serve his goals, they’re kept alive. The moment they fail, they’re disposable. You can even see this in the FNaF movie, where Vanessa turns against him... and he immediately stabs her. There’s no nobility. No softness. No heart of gold buried deep down. Only cruelty. Final Thoughts 🖤 So if you're writing an AU, a fanfic, or just trying to understand the lore, keep this in mind: William Afton is not misunderstood. He is not tragic. He is not loving. He is evil by choice. And that is what makes him such a chilling, unforgettable villain. Let the fiction be dark. Let the canon speak louder than the fanon. If you’ve read this far, thank you. Let’s stop sugarcoating monsters. 🍬 You are free to agree, disagree, discuss. submitted by /u/Halletking to r/fivenightsatfreddys [link] [comments]
