kathy (possibly going on hiatus)

°•♡ what is my blog about?

♡ I'm an artist and a writer!

♡ I mainly post about Five Nights at Freddy's since it's my special interest of 10+ years and the only thing I really like talking about due to that, lol! I also talk a lot about Springtrap as I consider myself his biggest fan (he's another special interest of mine)!

♡ I'm currently in the process of making dedicated posts related to my FNaF au, which is a huge passion project of mine!

♡ I also occasionally post about my other interests! I love finding others who share my casual interests, so interacting is heavily encouraged in that case!

♡ I'm also a selfshipper and have a side blog entirely dedicated to it: @xxheartsprings

*Already existing mutuals who also romantically selfship with Springtrap are still okay to interact!

°•♡ boundaries

♡ If you want to become closer to me, please read all of these!

♡ What I'm like as a person:

• I love bonding with others over shared interests! If I notice you have the same interests as me, it's very likely that I'll end up following you back if you follow me!

• I do feel differently about special interests than casual ones, where I get protective and jealous about them a lot more easily. I don't mind casual fans of them or people who also have them as a favorite thing (please interact if this is you btw!), the only thing that bothers me is when people call themselves the biggest fan of my special interests (especially Springtrap, a character who means literally everything to me). Of course they're still allowed to say they are, and I know they're most likely not serious, but my brain automatically views something like that as a challenge, and I will block over it so I don't have to see it. I really wish I wasn't this sensitive, but it is what it is and I really do apologize for that.

• I tend to take a while to respond back to comments, asks, or dms, mainly because I'm scripting a response. But sometimes I just don't have a good answer. So please don't be offended if my answers seem repetitive or if I don't answer back at all! I'm really trying my best. 😭

• I love attention. I really appreciate reblogs and comments more than likes!

• I preach a lot about self-love and self-confidence.

• I do not believe in cringe culture whatsoever. I will happily be the most self-indulgent person ever and be loud and proud about it.

♡ Things I'll always be okay with:

• Tags in reblog games.

• Spam likes/reblogs.

• Asks, especially about my interests.

• Strictly sfw fanart/headcanons of my ocs and sonas.

♡ Things I'm okay with ONLY under certain conditions:

• Art trades, only with mutuals.

• Talking about nsfw (specifically sexual) topics. Both of my blogs are sfw (nonsexual content), and I'd only be okay with talking about them with close adult mutuals in dms.

♡ Things I'm NOT okay with:

• Making nsfw comments under my art, especially if they're about my ocs or sonas. It makes me really uncomfortable, and I only want to be the one to do that.

• Talking about real-life romance/sex (I'm aroace romance/sex repulsed). I'm only okay with talking about selfships and ficto relationships.

• Bringing up popular selfshippers/fans of Springtrap around me. There are quite a few that I know about and I know a decent amount of the FNaF fandom does too. If you know about them, please do not talk about them with me, their popularity makes me extremely insecure about my own ship and makes me feel like it isn't valid or like it will just get ditched because it's less popular. I have them all blocked for that reason, I will genuinely have a panic attack if I see or hear about their content. Absolutely no hate to them whatsoever, and I wish I didn't feel this way. So please be kind to me, I don't want to be hurt over this. :,]

• Bringing up Twitter around me. That app deeply traumatized me and honestly left a permanent scar on my internet experience as a whole, and I'm trying my best to move past it. I do not want to go into detail about anything that happened, and I honestly hope I end up being completely forgotten on there. I have panic attacks whenever I remember it, so please don't bring it up around me.

• Accidentally posting/saying something that makes you uncomfortable or upset. If this happens, please communicate with me and I'll try my best to make sure it doesn't happen again.

°•♡ before you follow

♡ All art posted on here is sfw, as in nonsexual content. However, some of my art does contain sensitive topics, mainly:

• Gore and body horror

• Nonsexual nudity

• Bright/eyesore colors

• Yelling and/or hurtful words (/not targeted, only in vent comics related to my personal life!)

♡ If this is the case, it will be tagged and there will be a cut before showing it.

♡ I do still make nsfw content, but only on Bluesky on an alt account. If you see art on there that has a signature with the username springmalfunction.bsky.social, it's mine! All I ask is that you please do not share it anywhere, and especially not on here.

♡ I do not allow reposts of my art on any site.

♡ I do not allow any usage of art containing my ocs or sonas, such as using it for pfps or edits.

♡ I do not take commissions, and it's unlikely that I ever will.

♡ I do not take requests unless I make a post specifically asking for them.

♡ I'm only open to art trades with mutuals, and I'm open pretty much all the time. Just send me a message if you want to set one up.

So, I wasn't planning on coming back until August, but honestly... I don't even know anymore. I feel like I can't be on social media without just being super upset and panicky for no reason. I'm actually shaking typing this out right now and I don't even know why. I wanna say it's social anxiety but I don't think that counts because it's not like I was always like this. I have full on panic attacks just thinking about being on the internet. I don't know what's wrong with me when I used to not be like this.

Another reason why I haven't been active is because this month in general hasn't been kind to me (neither was last year's July, feels like July is just a cursed month for me lmao). I have to somehow get out of my house and find a new place to live, I cannot stand it here anymore. I'm literally not allowed to do anything, have anything, feel anything, say anything without my parents feeling personally attacked by it for some reason and accusing me of "starting an argument." I literally got kicked out of my room at the start of the month and I just retreated to our rotting, mold infested basement for a few days. I didn't wanna come back up just to be a disappointment to them. I fucking hate it here, I'm seriously so sick and tired of never being allowed to do anything and always being around people who seem to be unable to take no for an answer. I honestly can't wait to go back to school because at least I'll be away from them and I'll get to be around my friends who actually care about me and my boundaries and feelings.

I swear it's always whenever I think I'm doing better, then suddenly I fall back into severe depressive episodes like I did last year, the year before, etc. I always talk about how I love myself and that I think I'm perfect as is, but in reality I don't know how true that is. I'm extremely fragile and get hurt way too easily, but I always pretend that I'm okay. The only reason I have such an ego is because I'm deeply insecure and sensitive, and I hate being that way. For someone who's such an advocate for being yourself and ignoring what other people think about you... I sure as hell have a hard time ignoring and am constantly worrying about everything and feeling like I'm not actually cared about, lmao.

I honestly think part of the reason why being on the internet makes me upset has to do with the way I was acting on the internet in 2024/2025, where I was posting really annoying and hurtful shit, and I was genuinely acting like an asshole and really needed to be humbled (which I thankfully was), and even though I'm no longer like this, I'm still extremely upset that I was like this at all. All I can do is look back on all that with regret, but it's not like it matters because I can't change what already happened. For some reason, I'm struggling to move on from it. I still just feel so terrible about the way I was treating people, even if it wasn't to them directly (meaning I wasn't bothering individual people, I was just posting shit on my public account, which honestly doesn't matter because people can still see that).

I guess I just wish I didn't have such a constant need to be perfect all the time and never make mistakes. Every time I accidentally do something wrong, I feel such an intense amount of shame and guilt, and then I feel like I'm not allowed to be sorry because "I wouldn't have done it in the first place if I was actually sorry." But I don't think it's a bad thing if other people make mistakes, because obviously that's a normal thing. Yet for some reason I'm an exception, if I'm not perfect all the time I'm just a failure and I'm weak for feeling sad about it.

Okay so, I think my favorite headcanon that I have for him is that he's a lot more of a living creature than just being a corpse in a robot. After the springlock failure, William's body gets fused with Spring Bonnie on like a biological level, he's not just fused with the springlocks, but the actual Spring Bonnie suit has become his new actual skin and flesh, all of this being caused by paranormal stuff like agony/remnant and reanimation and all that. William's soul is still there ofc, he basically just has a new body. If you touched him, the suit would feel like actual skin.

I lowkey have so many more headcanons more based on his canon self, but specifically regarding my reimagined version of him in my FNAF 3 au (which is also the version of him that I selfship with lol)... I have WAY too much to say about him 😭

Alright so, in my au, he's kind of a reformed villain/anti-hero type character (not entirely tho, he's just kind of less murderous lmao), after he dies from the springlock failure and is left in the saferoom for 21 years, he basically wakes up with amnesia and William Afton is a past life for him. He now only has fleeting memories from his life as William (also barely even remembers that name), he's become disconnected from it and he one main goal, to find out what exactly he is. All he really knows is that this is the highest form of superiority he has ever been, and he's something that William could've only dreamt to be. He also doesn't like being called William Afton because it makes him sound lesser than what he is now, which is Springtrap.

Also back to the anatomy/biology stuff (which is my favorite thing to talk about tbh), like I mentioned he's more organic than robotic, and the only thing that remains of William's body is basically just his internal organs which are in different stages of decomp/regen, and the only ones fully regenerated are his most vital ones (heart, lungs, spinal cord + brain + nerves). They're really the only ones he needs since he no longer has normal biological functions like hunger and thirst (the only one he has is sleep), and the reason for that is because he's also a supernatural/immortal entity and his energy source is also supernatural. He still has robotic qualities and is still affected by Spring Bonnie's programming, especially because it's glitchy and broken, so like automatically going towards noises and things like that, but also sometimes breaking out in spasms of pre-recorded movements and voicelines that are out of his control. (May or may not have taken inspo from j-gems' "The Interviewed" series on YouTube for that last part cuz Springtrap also does that and I thought it was cool lol... and it's also one of my fav fanmade FNAF series ^^)

Also no because a while ago I started this thing where I wrote about what I think his anatomy and physiology is like, and I wrote it in a similar style/tone to an autopsy report (funny because he's not exactly dead... but not exactly alive either), and this is lowkey motivating me to finish it ngl 😭😭

And he is absolutely soft and fluffy like an actual fursuit!! Except he's only like that after he gets physically restored to a better state, so that he isn't a walking biohazard and can efficiently be a part of the attraction lmao. Also, I think because he's been dead and rotting for so long, the scent of a rotting body probably would've stopped after a while, so I think he would have more of a mold/mildew/earth scent. But then after being cleaned he probably just smells like cleaning products lol. But yeah, he's very soft and fluffy and definitely huggable when he wants to be 🥹🩷 also, my alternate version of Fazbear's Fright is a pretty successful place and he pretty much just lives there and performs like an actual animatronic during operating hours lol!!!

Also yes he does still have a British accent lol!! Except he sounds quieter than his canon self because his vocal cords are too decayed for him to talk for really long periods of time, though they are actively healing somewhat. He does also project his voice for performances, so in that case he'd sound more like his canon self, but he can't do that super often. Anyways I will always be a British Afton truther so ofc my au Springy gets to keep the accent 🙏

As for personality... he's very showman-like and lives for the attention he gets at the attraction, and he acts all high and mighty. But at the same time, despite the tough act he puts on, he's easily softened and he hates that he's like that, that's why he puts on a front. (Even if he believes he's perfect...) If you actually complimented him, he'd get very flustered and probably act like he hates it. He's also extremely clingy due to being deprived of touch for so long. Very ironic because he believes he's above that kind of thing, but he absolutely melts into a puddle over any ounce of affection, and he's awful at hiding it. He's also still very fascinated by the supernatural as he always has been ^^

And the way he acts around Kathy (my s/i), he always has to be near her in some way, literally superglued to her side pretty much. He definitely doesn't like to be separated from her for too long. He practically worships her and thinks of her as his goddess, absolute perfection (like himself), both admiring and slightly jealous of her. (Jealous, mainly because she has a lot more knowledge on the supernatural than he does, since paranormal investigation is her career after all).

He also isn't as assertive over her as you'd probably expect from him, he respects her too highly, but he also likes that she has a similar personality to him, and he likes that she stands her ground, it gives him a challenge and he likes the thrill. I feel like he would be like that exclusively with the people he finds interesting as a form of affection lol. (She totally also bosses him around. Tfw your wife makes you fold under zero pressure 😭.) But he's definitely very sweet with her and showers her in compliments, because he wants her to see that she's perfection. He's also really into cheesy pet names, like "beloved," "darling," "angel," and "my lady." Also, he writes letters for her, partially because of his limited ability to talk, and partially because he has so much adoration to give to her that writing is way easier. 🥺💞💞
