Introducing my OC Mandy, and my OC x canon ship with Mike! I'm so glad to finally get to talk about them. I think about them every day, but it's taken me so long to finally get this post together. I'm honestly having to swallow a lot of cringe just to post it lol.

I've been debating how much about their story I want to reveal, because I have a fic coming where all of it will unfold and I don't want to spoil everything! But it's going to be a while before she's even introduced to begin with.

As on overview of the relationship, it's very much an "opposites attract" situation - a bit of a good girl and bad boy thing. But Mandy was deeply unhappy and Mike was deeply damaged, so a lot of it is an act they put on and not entirely reflective of how they felt inside. Through each other, they found out a lot more about their authentic selves. Mandy learned through Mike how much fun there was if you lived for yourself and didn't always listen to what everyone says. Mike learned through Mandy how to slow down and let himself be loved, and she gave him a type of trust and intimacy he'd never had before. They were very very good for each other and balance each other so well.

Here is some shit with Mandy and Mike I had commissioned months ago but never posted because I guess I thought it was too cringe. Not the art, just me as a 20 year old obsessed with an OC x canon ship. The art is amazing, by Kaizeen01 and hegaii on vgen respectively.

IT'S HAPPENING

I have added Elizabeth to Tomodachi Life!

One of the first things she did was have a hiccup fit that she was unable to stop. The game gave me the option to help her myself or bring someone else. I decided there was someone better suited for that job than me.

Big brother Mike will always come to the rescue. Granted, I don't know exactly what he did. It sounded like he was working on something with mechanical parts when the screen went black. I guess he put her back together, just like I asked him to.

After this they immediately started some sort of motivational work out session.

Liz is really hyper and quirky. I'm not sure if it's her personality or if the game actually accounts for the behavioral differences between children and adults. So far Liz is the youngest on the island, with her being 11 and everyone else being 18. Here she is looking around with a flashlight and watching ants crawl around. She also wanted to play red light green light.

I introduced Liz to Mandy, and she overwhelmed her with yapping about batteries. That being said, the two of them seem to get along really well. I feel that it won't be long before she's shipping Mandy and Mike.

Playing with my touys

Giggling at how lore accurate this is. When she had a crush on him but they'd never properly met she started always sitting near him when in the same room pretending to do something else when she was actually just watching and listening to him like a little weirdo.

Idek know what this is. I was like. Girl. What the hell are you doing. But he fucking ate it up lmfaoooo.

Sometimes people find Mandy being a Mormon funny and I mean yeah as much as Mike hated most of the LDS chuds he was forced to share air with he didn't exactly expect to fall in love with one either. But that mainly happened because I was going for the opposites attract from the get go. So when creating her I was envisioning good girl, well behaved, repressed in several areas, and she was going to be just Baptist or Catholic or something because a lot of people like that who feel really guilty about everything they do come from religious backgrounds. But then I remembered we were in Utah and I was like fuck it why not. Fun way to explore the environment when I start writing. The downside is that I'm learning things about these guys that I could've gone my whole life not knowing.

A friend of mine from another fandom who also likes FNAF wanted to know about Mike and Mandy and I told him the basic stuff that I've posted publicly about, and mentioned that the more detailed and dramatic things I've only told to people and friends in DMS who wanted to know (and how those details got two of them hooked on Mandmike like a drug). And he asked "so does she know what happened to him?" and I said "I'll explain this in the morning because I'm about to fall asleep." Anyways I just spent over an hour typing out the overview of this love story, and for that I had to include a lot of my interpretation of what happens to him between FNAF 4 and Sister Location as well so part of that story is just Mike Afton spiraling further and further into despair.

And I realized it's crazy how much of this story I have fleshed out and planned, but just haven't written as a fic yet. And like, it reminded me of how big this fic is projected to be. Like this will be the biggest fic I've ever written if I see it through, I see it being a few years worth of work. Which, like I said before, I need you guys to keep me in line on that especially if I start to stray lmao.

But anyways, since I did just type all that out, it means I can copy and paste it into a google doc about their story and clean it up, so anyone who is like "idc about spoilers just give me all the drama" can know.

Going insane due to lack of people to talk to about Mike and Mandy but never posting about them on tumblr because I don't want to spoil my fic and I feel cringe and annoying but it's gonna be like 10 years before she's even introduced in my fic probably since I'm miserably slow because bipolar adhd chronic pain college and laziness and procrastination. I know OC x canon people already have a hard time in fandoms so I'm not special or anything and I'm probably overly upset right now since I just woke up and my meds haven't kicked in but I hate it a loooooot.
