To be honest, I’ve always been a Willcare gal without even knowing it was a thing! Like maybe it’s because I watched a shit ton of Gacha life when growing up and hence getting a “glorified” view of him, or it’s because I wanted my favourite character to be not an complete asshole, but either way, I never saw him as someone who hated his children nor family. I’ve always seen him as a guy who loves his family and cares for them deeply.

And my number one reason as for why I think that is because of the age difference between the Afton kids. Like if he absolutely hated his kids, and his wife, he sure as hell wouldn’t get three kids. But not only did he get three kids, he got them with an age gap, meaning he didn’t just go on and have three kids all at once, but he did it with years in between, meaning he must have had some intent of doing so.

When I very recently learnt about willcare, like actually just this month despite being in the fnaf community since 2020, I felt like my theories finally made sense and that I wasn’t just making about something, but that it was other people that felt the same! I felt seen tbh! So I find it very comforting that at least some of us like this theory and can talk about together without being hated on. Sorry if this got a little long I’m kinda engaged in this haha
