I think the saddest part about it all is that even in the end, Michael chose to die in the same place as his father. As they both burn into ashes and disintegrate into the air I can't help but wonder what Michael thought of his father at that moment just before their demise. I can imagine it probably wasn't a very positive review of the man-turn-monster, but at the same time I feel like Michael would've blamed himself for everything, even now towards the end, he still thinks it's his fault. For it was him who started it all.

All this rage, all this misery, it was a mistake that spiralled out of control.

So Michael can blame his father for a lot of things, rightfully so too. Yet the one thing he wouldn't blame his father for is if William hated him. If William's hatred for him was so vitriol that it may transcend death then so be it. Like father like son.

"I wanted you to hate me so you'd know I was still there. I wanted you to hate me."

“Sooo how did u figure it out??”

“oh haha i was playing fnaf and wanted to be michael really bad and realized i was trans”

Michael makes me SO insane actually. The way William IS the mask but Michael wears the mask. The prey animal (bunny) holding the predator (fox) under his thumb. The same way the rest of the world probably saw them, with William as a charming businessman and Michael as his disgraced son who killed his own brother. But Michael has so much more to him beneath the mask, while William is his truest self AS Springbonnie, or rather as Springtrap.

William in OP's art only saying he is his son cause he's killed someone. Like a mocking way of asking "are you happy now? You got the attention you wanted so much". Even when Michael is acknowledged by William, he's only seen as the guilty son of a murderer. Michael gets to be both the scapegoat and sacrificial lamb. The scapegoat for what's wrong with the family, the reason it all fell apart and the reason William Afton supposedly fell into grief and killed more. And the sacrificial lamb to make up for his father's crimes, by dying and giving up his own flesh and skin as a part of a larger game.
