☆ He/Him, Bun/Bunself ☆. I am William Afton real. Currently NOT speeding down the highway. Every single father's worst nightmare. Pfp made by @Miiilowo
☆ Hi :3 my name is William (Alternatively Will) and this is my blog centered around Fnaf. I don't really think I have a gender, I'm just me but He/Him is alright, Bun works too. Age is obscure to me, I sometimes think I'm older then I am and some days I don't think I have an age at all.
☆ Stuff you'll find here: art of mine, things related to my Fnaf aus and creations I make. I may reblog things aswell but I get a bit nervous about all that.
☆ Most of the things I like are centered around Fredbear's Family Diner and Fnaf but I do also like: 80s Movies and many other fandoms, but everything is mostly William Afton, Fredbear's Family Diner and Willry.
☆ With the mentioning of Willry, I will say now I am quite fond of the ship, if you're not, I suggest maybe not viewing this account in it's entirety.
god imagine ur living ur life and then this 6'4 british dude who looks like he robbed the costume closet of a glam rock band just waltzes into town and starts a business with his fursona at the helm
One of the things I feel is unexplored in fanf fanfic is the idea Henry was a terrible person beyond being neglectful and psssive. Like an actual asshole on par with William. Because largely of what we know of Henry is ethier filtered due to Henry's grief, trough robot Charlie (who obviously be more biased to her dad) and the fact that ANYONE can look 100 times better than William Afton
For sake of the argument, I will try not to bring up SOTM until the end
Firstly, novels, which is arguably the most we get of Henry personality. Now, it's practically known at this point, Henry ditched his wife and Sammy Emily because of his grief of losing Charlie. Tragic. But, what i feel get glossed over is the fact Henry prefers Charlie over sammy so much, Henry abandoned him and made a robo Charlie. Oh, and proceed to tell robot Charlie that SAMMY was the one who got kidnapped and died. That alone is disturbing. Oh and when he get ephinany that robot charlie isn't real Charlie, so he just proceed to off himself. Like with no thought about his OTHER living child.
"Okay, but Sammy is implied to be non canonical", yes, but the novels are essentially aus, thus, it's what Henry is capable of.
Also, while I do understand it comes from a level of greif, but making adolescent, teen and adult versions of your dead three year old daughter is... weird, to be say the least. Also, how he proceed to off himself thus leaving robot charlie, traumatized, unaware of her true nature, and no viable way to grow up beyond teen stage. Also, forcing your single, older sister in an akaward position where she had to raise robo Charlie, and effectively force her to raise this child.
Fnaf 6, is tricky, as one Mike might have wanted to die anyway, but it would not matter as Henry effectively left us no choice
Basically, the idea repeated here is Henry tends to ,accidentally or not, rob people of choice, but he is more passive. Whether it's robbing robot charlie her chance to grow up, sammy of having a relationship with his dad, aunt jen having choice over the charlie custody thing or letting Mike burn. Hell, even his novel death, stabbed by a robot he made, is a weird way, to symbolically rob his own agency in death.
Now this is stretching over headcanon territory
Firstly, Henry is implied in every iriteration he is the robot guy, at least in the beginning of the company. Which makes sotm more sinster. After all, Henry is the tech guy, and while William is doing business, it's likely Henry did the commission. Also, here's something. William afton is surprisingly not trusted by edwin, but Henry is. Which goes angainst pre established lore in games, books and even the movies, that William looked more generally trustworthy than Henry. Therefore, I think Henry played more active role in edwin downfall.
Edwin was warned beforehand that fazbears was not to be trusted in business by his father, so it's likely this was the reason edwin was distant with William. Enter Henry, the equally weird, shadowy robot guy of the company. It's likely Henry let down edwin gaurd because how similar they were.
watching fnaf theories is awesome especially when im not paying attention until i snap my head up to look at the screen when either william or henry are mentioned. i've Pavloved myself
I was playing a FNaF game on roblox a couple weeks ago which ultimately ended in like 5 people accusing me of "clanking" practically every FNaF character in existence, but it's okay because the Henry roleplayer said this:
I saw people posting their 'Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream' islands and while I haven't managed to get the full game yet (complications with Nintendo *cough* they stole my money and won't refund me *cough*), I still thought I'd show my island.
These photos are from my first island (before I resetted it)
Freaks I tell you, Freaks.
Henry looking pathetic, as usual.

These photos are from the new island
They're scarily accurate to how my William and Henry actually are 😭
Henry, you can't say that.
Genuinely what is wrong with him. I thought he was dead when I checked in on him and he was just on the floor like that.
Pulling out my super awesome theory on why Henry used the suicide-bot in the novels because it’s getting brought up again (🧵):
It’s never stated WHY Henry used the suicide-bot specifically as a way of taking his life, but I believe he used it to imitate Afton (through the use of illusion discs) murdering him to help make the process of offing himself easier/‘less self-inflicted.’ >
The deal with the big ass knife:
- Starting off with the comically huge knife attached to the bot’s arm, I need to talk about it.
- William’s main weapon of choice has ALWAYS been a large kind of knife, as seen in both movies (when attacking Vanessa and when chasing down Charlotte), the novels (specifically when killing Officer Dunn) and even more exaggerated in the DBD collab where Springtrap/the Yellow Rabbit uses a huge pizza knife as his weapon.
- Even how the bot kills Henry by stabbing him is such a specific detail, embracing him before using the knife, his death painfully slow and dragged out as he bleeds out. Henry specifically made it to replicate something similar to a murder rather than giving himself a quick and painless death.
Henry is hesitant about killing himself:
- This is evident in both the books and the games (and maybe the movie if you squint), but Henry is generally wary of the idea of killing himself.
- In the novels, the suicide-bot was built in Henry’s workshop slowly overtime, meaning he gave himself a lot of time to think about it; he was still using the Charlie-bots while he was making it (why Charlie remembers it so clearly) and he kept it in clear view. The idea had been in his mind for a long while.
- In the Insanity Ending of Pizza Sim, after Henry voices his griefs about the MCI and William, he says that he could simply just “make himself…sleep.” He’s still an active suicide risk, he still thinks about doing it, but he just can’t.
- The whole idea of making an animatronic to kill him instead of just using any other way was BECAUSE he was so uneasy about it being by his own hand, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He’s a cowardly person in general damnit !!
- He can’t even say it out loud, he has to refer to it as ‘sleeping’ and even that he sounds hesitant about.
His known use of the illusion discs to replicate people:
- He made 4 robot replicas of Charlie in the trilogy, spanning from her being a kid all the way to adulthood to deal with the grief that came with her death.
- To help convince himself, he used the illusion discs to make the Charlie-bots appear as if they were real, living people, smoothing out their robotic faults.
- What’s stopping him from using the illusion discs again to help him through offing himself, projecting an illusion of William upon the endoskeleton so that he can go the same way his daughter did; by the hand of his old partner instead of his own.
- And while not portrayed in the graphic novels, the bot wears a weeping mask, which would contribute to creating an even more believable illusion.
The SILVER EYES:
- The bot’s most notable feature is it’s silver eyes (its literally the name of the book), it’s focused on so much and such a specific detail that it’d be weird if it wasn’t an intentional choice in some way.
- William (as Dave Miller in the novels) is described as having GREY and lifeless eyes and he’s also shown to have it in the graphic novels. This same grey is also seen in the Fruity Maze mini game within the Spring Bonnie head.
- YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE HAS GREY. LIFELESS. EYES.
Henry is known to take things too far:
- I think it’s safe to say that creating a whole animatronic programmed to walk towards and stab you is a little extra, but for Henry it can seem almost plausible.
- Henrys described as being dramatic, always having a way of overdoing whatever he did (this foreshadowed the Charlie-bots, how Henry went all the way just to get his daughter back).
- This could also apply back to the suicide-bot and using it to replicate a murder just so he could get around his own cowardice when taking his life.
William’s relevance in Henry’s life:
- I could go on for ages about how obsessive and codependent these two are about each other. It’s no secret that they were weird about each other ok.
- William’s whole deal in the novels is that he can’t replicate Henry’s love for his work so he has to go torment Charlie and friends to see what made her so special, he does NOT stop talking about Henry in the novels. Henry too, he made mentions of Afton in his suicide note (TFC), his private tapes (Insanity Ending) and in his final speech (Burn Ending), where he partially talks about William.
- Of course William would be the one Henry would choose for his suicide-bot. The only person who ever stuck around for him, praised and admired his work, helped to make his dreams become reality be the same person to take it all away in one swift motion.
…And that’s all I’ve got to support my silly ramblings, thank you for reading lol
I think it’s also worth mentioning that this idea isnt new or anything, I simply just wanted to expand upon it since I think it’s such a cool concept.
Also also this is like. Baby’s first theory… and excuse to talk about Henry… again… be nice please 😭
at this point "lets kill them" is just like a normal part of my vocabulary i kep forgetting most people think its not normal to say that to everything?
