william afton headcanons 'n stuffz :^)
. after the divorce of william and his wife, william wasn't necessarily adverse to the idea of remarrying... it just wasn't his first priority out of all of his priorities.
. the divorce with his ex wife was rough, and messy. so getting into a relationship right afterwards was just a tiring idea.
. william isnt exactly easily attracted to people either. so when he learns that henry hired another mechanic, it just gained an eye roll from him. i mean, why would they NEED another mechanic? william thinks hes perfectly fine.
. hes whipped the moment he finds you elbows deep inside of fredbear's chest, complimenting his impressive use of hydraulics and automated clockwork movements.
. he basically assigned you as his assistant from there on, i mean, it was pretty impressive that you even knew how animatronics worked.
. dont tell william but you probably worked at a showbiz pizza before fredbear's. you just wanted to be apart of something. . . more lol.
. you and william would constantly swap ideas. you were the one who actually told william how to make the hydraulics less... loud. considering they animatronics were VERY hissy. william begrudgingly took the advice.
. william is kinda awkward and doesnt understand that staring is bad so dont be surprised if you just feel him staring at you for abnormally long periods of time, just for you to turn over and have him give you a nice toothy smile.
. doesnt really know how to ask you out. he has to consult with henry for weeks and then freaks out on henry for giving him advice because he's sooo perfect [sarcastic tone here]
. don't let him introduce you to the kids because then he might subconsciously guilt trip you into not leaving him 😭 hes a natural manipulator dont mind him.
. dont get married to him he'll spend millions of dollars on a fancy wedding at some big venue out of the town and will probably invite his ex wife as a "fuck you". (she'll come. dont tell william but you and his ex wife might just become best friends. if he finds out he might freak)
. he is like a middle school girl and probably has millions of doodles of you and him kissing in his journal thats meant for animatronic design and note taking in really chalky crayon 😭
. has at least (1) unused animatronic design based on you and definitely didnt draw springbonnie kissing it why would he do that
. william is Not good at showing physical affection. he thinks its kinda weird. you have to initate it, he won't. his love language is more gift giving and acts of "service" (i would say quality time too, but he probably shuts himself in his office constantly so theres not much quality time there!)
. he gets pissy VERY easily. hes either the sarcastic type of angry or the verbally violent type of angry, depends on his day.
. you have to calm him down so that he doesnt borderline verbally abuse his kids ☹️ ... he isnt very nice to them. you notice this quickly.
. it takes michael a VERY long time to get used to you. like abnormally long. he just kinda isnt used to the concept of having another parent, because even when his mom was still with them... she was pretty distant.
. evan is the most attached to you. he NEEDS a caretaker figure desperately and will latch on however possible.
. elizabeth is just happy to have someone to have tea parties with :^) she isnt the most self aware tbh. too hyperfixated on her clowns and parties to really notice the tenseness around the family.
. welcome to the dysfunctional afton family hopefully you can make it less dysfunctional! woohoo.
