Vanessa Shelly x Reader
Word count: 5,996
A/N: A month passed since the premiere, and I have been head over heels in love with Vanessa Shelly ever since. The cliffhanger ending she had made me wanna cry, so let's fantasize and hope she is fine 🥹 I tried to make it as short as I could but got carried away.
Warnings: Just fluff, except for mentions of Vanessa's terrible childhood and William Afton's acts.
After everything that happened, Vanessa was still in a vulnerable situation where she needed to be taken care of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Without meaning to, you often overheard the brother of the girl you babysited, saying that they were going to visit Vanessa in the hospital after school. You didn't want to pry. It was none of your business, and maybe it was a delicate situation to talk about.
However, all that curiosity was assuaged when, as you were cooking something simple for Abby after picking her up from school, you heard the front door open.
You ran to check, ready to punch whoever dared to break in, but let out a sigh of relief when you noticed it was Mike.
"Oh, Mike, did something come up?" You inquired, noting that it was 3:41 in the afternoon, and he was usually back by 7:30 at night.
Before your question could be answered, he opened the door wider, ushering a tall, blonde woman into the house. Just two seconds was enough for you to be mesmerized by such beauty; she had no makeup on and it suited her perfectly, each one of her eyes possessed a wonderful green iris, and her lips were pink and... gorgeous.
"Oh... hello, it's a pleasure..." You hesitated. Your cheeks were burning as you were determined to fix your eyes on anything around but her, and you hoped you could attribute your nervousness to your null ability to socialize, and not to the fact that you were wonderstruck before such a sight.
"Vanessa! You've been discharged!" Abby's excited, boisterous voice interrupted you, and she ran to her to hug her tightly.
"Hey, hey, take it easy," Mike gently called her out. "She's still in a delicate condition."
The blonde girl didn't seem to mind the fact that Abby had thrown herself into her arms, and with a smile, she hugged her tightly.
Awkwardly, you watched the scene, not knowing what to do.
You didn't want to interrupt this beautiful moment they were having, as you knew it was something big. During all the time you took care of Abby, there wasn't a day where you didn't hear the mention of Vanessa, and when she would wake up from the coma, and then, when would she be discharged from the hospital.
But you also wanted to introduce yourself so you wouldn't embarrass yourself by standing there with a smile on your face that indicated you didn't know what to do.
So, you finally opted for the first option. You waited for the right moment to come for you to kindly greet the famous Vanessa appropriately.
Vanessa lifted her gaze and directed it towards you. That's it. You had her attention. You had to act wisely to make these seconds worth it.
"Hi, I'm Vanessa," she introduced herself, walking towards you, extending her hand in a polite manner. "You're the new babysitter, I assume," you were very surprised by her formality, and while you didn't expect her to greet you with a warm hug, the lack of casualness reminded you that you were a stranger, and perhaps this was how she behaved with strangers.
"I'm (Y/N)," you introduced yourself, respecting that boundary she imposed. You took her hand and shook it firmly.
She smiled kindly, "Nice to meet you, (Y/N)," she replied.
From that day on, every morning, you had a little alone time with Vanessa, as Mike went to work and Abby went to school. She would wake up around nine in the morning, and there was nothing you looked forward to more than seeing her sleepy face, her hair slightly disheveled, and her raspy voice saying good morning to you.
You would gladly prepare breakfast for both of you, and let her help you with, say, flipping pancakes or pouring drinks.
On the first day, her hand shook, which made her growl in frustration, and she apologized multiple times for making a mess, almost on the verge of tears. Still, you comforted her, insisting that she did a good job, and you showed her how it wasn't a big deal, for you didn't even take five minutes to clean up.
The next day, she refused to help you, afraid that the same thing would happen. You managed to convince her by telling her you would make sandwiches, which only involved spreading and placing. With a wrinkled nose and a broad smile, she proudly exclaimed that she completed her task.
And so, little by little, by asking for her help in the kitchen at breakfast or at lunch with Abby after school, she began to recover from the aftermath of waking up from her coma.
Although she barely spoke to you beyond jovial topics when you guys were alone together, somehow, your connection transcended words.
You could feel it when she would shyly sit next to you on the couch when you watched TV, or when she saw you reading, and she would pick up another book and sit down to read it next to you, and then look for the right moment to exchange opinions.
She felt more at ease when Abby was at home, and you were grateful that her affection for the little girl allowed you to get to know that side of her, that protective side that was also eager to have fun.
"You're cheating, Vanessa!" Abby exclaimed, and you let out a mock gasp of indignation at the younger girl's accusation.
"That's not true," Vanessa exclaimed, as she laughed.
"Of course it is. Don't think I didn't see how you held the tower so it wouldn't fall!" Abby responded.
"Oh, shame on you," you seconded, shaking your head, manifesting disappointment.
Vanessa had spent all this time at Mike's house, where she slept in his room, and he slept on the couch. You personally felt that she was perfectly capable of looking out for herself again and moving back on her own again, but you preferred not to mention anything about it. Perhaps there were emotional issues that caused her to not want to be alone, and this might remain a mystery to you.
Her progress was becoming more and more noticeable. These days, there was almost no problem anymore, and both you and Abby knew it, so it was only fair to reprimand her if she cheated.
"Oh, come on, I think we should change the rules," she laughed, this time admitting that she did, indeed, cheat. "Be that as it may, the point is to get a block out and keep the tower from falling, so what do you say?" She continued and looked at both of you with hopeful eyes.
You couldn't help it, you always succumbed to those beautiful eyes. Vanessa just looking at you in any way, shape or form was enough to make you succumb to her charms.
"Of course! Why not?" you said with a smile that showed how mesmerized you were by her.
"Hey, no!" Abby countered. "The rules are to remove a block with one hand. If it falls, we start over."
"Well, but where's the fun in following the rules?" You argued and earned an accusatory look from the blonde. "I mean, I mean! Only in board games!" You corrected yourself, knowing full well that those were not very wise words to say in front of a former police officer. That was the only thing she revealed to you that she used to be a police officer who mostly worked during the evenings.
Vanessa laughed at your nervousness, but she continued the main topic's purpose, "Yeah, come on, Abby, don't you want to see if this tower would ever become the tallest and most awesome tower in the world?"
Abby scoffed.
"Fine!" She agreed, and both you and Vanessa exchanged a victorious smile.
That day didn't seem to go beyond the ordinary. You played Jenga, and then Abby decided to go to her room to draw some pictures. Normally, when Abby left you both alone, you would engage in the aforementioned activities, like reading or watching a movie, and Vanessa would join you.
"Would you like to go out with me?"
You heard that question so suddenly, you paused the movie and looked at her with a puzzled look.
"Excuse me?" You said softly. You didn't want to overdo your reaction too much to cause insecurity or regret in her.
"No, no, I mean... not in that way... it's just that..." she hesitated, and you were a little disappointed to hear that it wasn't that way she meant it.
A fair amount of time had passed so that every thought you had consisted of every little characteristic that made up the woman next to you. After spending a whole day with her, the few hours you were in the solitude of your apartment, all you could think about was how much you longed for her presence, and how would her lips would feel as they crashed into yours as you shared a passionate, loving kiss.
Vanessa considered your silence as an invitation to continue, "Since I've been discharged, it's been a month and a week, and I haven't left here. With you, I haven't shared enough to get to know you well. I mean... it's not that I don't like spending those mornings with you... it's just that.... I'd like to go out... and take advantage of the outing for us to get to know each other... uh... yeah..." she explained shyly, looking down at her hands as she played with her fingers.
You laughed softly.
"Sure, where would you like to go?" You asked.
Yes, maybe it wasn't a date, but she was the one who had the initiative to go and propose an outing. That was more than enough for you to be assured that she really liked you, even if she didn't express it completely.
Uncertain about whether this outing would answer all the questions you had, you decided not to have expectations and appreciate the fact that she chose you for this activity. You learned to embrace the fragment of Vanessa bestowed upon you, and to also blindly embrace the mystery as a part of her being.
"You know this place, Freddy's Fazbear Pizza?"
You knew that place. And you knew why it had closed. Just seeing how neglected it looked on the outside, and the heartshattering story behind its shutdown gave you chills. You didn't understand what did it have to do with what you and the blonde were previously discussing.
"Ehh, I know it's been closed for almost a decade. Did they reopen it, or...?" You inquired.
"No, but I know a way in," she said, as if it was the most normal thing in the world for her to enter that scary place just for fun. "I need to go check it out, but don't worry, I know you'll like it."
Vanessa couldn't drive, and she seemed to be counting on you to take her there. Maybe she loved to visit these kinds of scary abandoned places, and you couldn't refuse to grant that wish, given the fact that she hasn't been out for five weeks, and wasn't even in the comfort of her home.
So, on Saturday, you arrived at the time you agreed upon. You were happy to spend time with Vanessa, but you were also anxious about what kind of activity awaited you. You weren't too excited about going at eight o'clock in the evening and then heading to a pizza place that has been abandoned for about two decades.
However, when you saw Vanessa, with that eager smile and her face lit up, any kind of doubt was dispelled. Not because it was something different, it was going to be a bad thing. Maybe you'd even end up agreeing with her, and you'd end up liking whatever idea she had.
First, you headed to a drive thru, and Vanessa insisted on paying for the food. You bought a large pizza with cheese edges, a two-liter soda, and some cheese sticks for appetizers.
She gave you directions to the place, and once you got there, you swallowed hard and took a deep breath. Not enough for her to notice. The last thing you wanted was for her to cancel the plans, plans she was too excited to carry out.
You entered through the main entrance, for which she had a key. The first thing you encountered was an archway that said "Welcome" at the top, and then you got a full view of what used to be the restaurant area.
There were some tables scattered throughout the room and others were stacked together. The room also had a stage, but a red curtain covered it. You knew that behind it, there were what used to be the main attraction; the animatronics.
The only thing you hoped for was that she would not...
"I'm going to turn up the voltage levers, you'll see how well they still work," Vanessa commented after noticing your gaze on the covered stage, leaving the pizza and soda on one of the tables.
"Uh, no, no, no... I don't think it's necessary...-"
"Come on, you'll love it!" she insisted, and you didn't have time to refute further when all the lights came on.
You covered your ears as you heard an eighties song playing at a defeaning volume. It was too loud for a place that had a lot of echo, and that was very empty. The whole vibe of the place felt... off.
Along with the lights coming on, the curtain opened, showing those animatronics moving to the beat of the music. These looked very disturbing, and you could swear that somehow, they were looking at you.
Or maybe it was the fact that your nerves were already on edge and it wasn't helped by the noise and those creppy things moving.
"Are you okay?" Vanessa asked, almost shouting for you to hear her over the music.
"Yeah, it's just kind of loud music," you replied, slowly removing your hands from your ears to adjust yourself to the noise.
Watching such an action, she took your hands and pulled you to her, "Come, let's dance," she proposed, and looked towards the stage, almost as if she was waiting for something to happen.
You asked her what was wrong, but she brushed it off.
"Do you know this song?" She asked, lifting your arm for you to do a spin, which you did with a chuckle.
"Yes, Talking In Your Sleep," you replied, looking up into her green eyes. "My dad usually plays eighties songs nonstop all the time."
"Oh, really?" She said with a small smile. "Do you have a good relationship with your father?"
"Mhm," you nodded. "Of course, in every kind of relationship there are arguments, but in general, my family and I relate very well."
Vanessa's eyes fluttered with a trace of melancholy. Even if it was brief, it was enough for you to catch the attention.
She proceeded to pull you closer, and instead of grabbing your arms, she held on to your waist tighter. Rather than making questions to engage with the subject, you chose to provide supportive silence.
She gently leaned to your height, and rested her chin on your head, displaying a hint of vulnerability. She actually drew you in a little closer, her embrace turning into a quiet cry for comfort.
The song stopped, and the animatronics returned to their positions from before. She let out a giggle and took your hand, leading you to the table where you had left your food and drink.
"Please," she used a fake elegant tone, as she pulled the chair for you to sit down.
"Oh, what a gentlewoman," you commented, sitting down in the chair, making her laugh.
Your eyes followed her as she took about two steps towards the chair in front of you, and subsequently, she let out a sigh to look into your eyes.
"You're really lucky, you know that?" She spoke, opening the pizza box and gesturing with her head for you to take the first slice.
"Hm?" You said, having already forgotten the previous conversation due to being too distracted appreciating her face, her eyes, her gestures.
"Having a good relationship with your family," she reminded you and took her slice once you took yours.
You were in awe. You loved how she wrinkled her nose to take the first bite, and her cheeks puffed out slightly as she chewed.
"You're right," you agreed. You weren't going to deny that too much could happen within the family environment, too many traumas that shifted through generations. You were lucky that your parents broke the chain long before they had you and really prepared emotionally for when you came along. "Not everyone is so lucky, and I wish that wasn't the case. I wish every child could have something like this because that's what they deserve," you continued. "No child deserves to be burdened with the unresolved problems of adults, and no child deserves to feel insecure in front of figures who should be protective."
Vanessa watched you with eyes of sadness, and you didn't know if it was because her way of thinking matched yours or because she herself had been through an unpleasant situation during her childhood... or both.
You heard a robotic sound, and noticed that the bear animatronic turned its head in your direction and blinked twice, with its eyebrows turned upwards.
You jumped slightly, and shivers invaded your body, "Oh, don't tell me they glitch and move on their own," you laughed nervously. Vanessa abandoned her previous expression to laugh softly with you.
"Yes, they move all the time," she confirmed. "Nothing to worry about. You're safe here. Believe me, I wouldn't bring you here if I knew you weren't."
It was kind of scary and unusual to walk into an abandoned pizza parlor, turn on the power and sit down to eat in the parlor of it, especially with those robots whose gaze you felt hovering over you for some reason.
However, you decided to believe her, it's not like those animatronics are possessed by spirits or anything. And in any case, you had to fear the living ones. But of course, you had a badass cop next to you. You were safe.
So you were determined to appreciate the beauty that this moment offered. You were alone with her. There was no noise of third parties intervening, and above all, the blonde was happy.
"Do those Arcade games still work?" you spoke with a mischievous grin, directing your gaze towards said area.
Vanessa nodded eagerly.
"Yes! Sometimes you have to hit them, but.... do you want to try?" She proposed, her eyes shining in that peculiar way that you knew from then on, you'd do anything to see them sparkling.
Once you nodded eagerly, both of you ran to the Arcade. This had almost all the classic games from the 80s, most of which you played when you were a kid, so you were hoping to remember even a little bit and get back in practice to be a competent opponent.
"Just so we're clear, I will show no mercy," Vanessa said, settling on the second Pac-Man game next to you.
"Neither will the eight-year-old me," You laughed asyou placed your hand on the lever that would control the movements. "However, current me is begging for you to show mercy," you added, nudging her playfully.
"Oh, did someone lose practice?" She asked in an amused tone, but it was also not her intention to make fun of you or tease you any more than necessary.
"Kinda," you shrugged shyly.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll take it slow. You're lucky I'm in a good mood today," she joked and pressed the start button as soon as you signaled you were ready.
At first, you had trouble remembering how to be a pro at these games, and even with Vanessa evidently losing on purpose so you wouldn't feel bad, you failed to reach a more or less decent record. But since you had faith that it would happen, you slowly started to remember all those years where you rode your bike to the Arcades with your friends and spent all your coins on hours and hours on games like these.
So, you got your practice back, and it was a matter of about half an hour before the real fun began. Vanessa began to show how tough she was at these games, and you showed her what you were made of too.
You were proud to observe her improvement. The blonde went from growing frustrated with unintentionally dropping something due to the trembling of her hands, to showing great skill and firmness in wanting to beat you in this competition that had been created between you.
You weren't even aware of the fact that it was almost midnight. If it weren't for the fact that Vanessa saw out of the corner of her eye the hands of the clock on the wall about to meet at the number 12, you would have sworn it had barely been ten minutes.
"I think we have to go," Vanessa said, once your game screen projected a "Game Over," indicating that she had beaten you once again.
"Yeah, I guess," you replied softly, looking up at her face that was slightly illuminated by the screen and the neon lights decorating the wall.
You picked up the pizza box that had three pieces left over and the bottle of soda that was half full. In front of you were the animatronics. The night would have been completely perfect except that these things terrified you, as they occasionally moved on their own, or sometimes you felt their heads turn in your direction. Vanessa constantly offered you comfort and told you that it happened all the time, and eventually, you managed to get distracted.
A month after this peculiar visit, Vanessa moved back to her apartment, which was farther away than Mike's house was from you. But even no matter if she lived twenty minutes or twenty hours away, you would've never failed to show up every Saturday to go to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza together.
You both adopted the tradition of visiting this abandoned place that gradually began to feel as if it was regaining its liveliness and coziness. The atmosphere ceased to feel heavy, your fear was replaced by excitement every time you entered, and even those animatronics started growing on you. You realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. They were just robots connected to a bunch of wires, and the darkness would go away once one of you took care of turning on the power.
Saturdays weren't the only day you looked forward to, of course.
When she went back to work, and notified you that she would make a stop to check on you and Abby in, say, forty minutes, it was forty minutes you longed for them to come to an end. Oh, you remember how you almost fainted when you saw her in that uniform for the first time. Your jaw dropped to the floor, and you had no choice but to tell her as calmly as possible that she looked great.
And when she had her day off, she would always call you to notify you that she wanted to spend it with you, whether it was at her apartment watching sitcoms, or getting together for a casual dinner at a restaurant. The plans tended to be spontaneous most of the time.
And if you opted to go out, you always made it half the time if you managed to convince her to drive her cop car at full speed, and the times she refused, you were also happy to go on the way listening to music with her.
Your heart pounded with unstoppable force as your emotions blossomed intensely towards her. Her presence eclipsed everything around you, and every minute without seeing her was a torturous countdown to the next encounter. Even your conversations with friends and family revolved around the blonde occupying your thoughts. No matter what they were talking about, in one way or another, you ended up bringing her up.
From Abby, you found out that every time Vanessa visited her and Mike, it was the same case. The little girl seemed a little tired of never getting a break from either you or Vanessa mentioning each other. And she was a smart girl, she knew what was going on. The only obstacle that kept you and the blonde from going any further was the fear that it wasn't reciprocated, even if it was more obvious that it indeed was.
One day, you were surprised to receive a call from Mike for dinner at his house. At first, you thought he was actually asking you to come to his house to make dinner, since he wasn't the best cook and you didn't interact with him outside of work hours. However, you had heard correctly, he invited you to his house for dinner.
When you arrived, Vanessa's police car was parked next to Mike's, and you immediately felt the familiar butterflies in your stomach whenever she was around. Oh, you hadn't even seen her and already you felt the thrill of excitement take over you considerably.
You rang the doorbell, and Mike opened the door
Even though he was right in front of you, the first thing you saw was the blonde sitting at the table, stuffing her mouth with a hamburger.
She looked up, and when she met your glanced, she widened her eyes and quickly set the food aside, straightening up and wiping herself with a napkin. That action made you laugh too hard.
"I'm sorry," she apologized, her mouth still a little full. "I'm really hungry, and Mike bought some delicious burgers."
You brushed it off with a smile, "Don't worry, you looked adorable."
A slight blush invaded her cheeks. You preferred to believe that this was simply because she wasn't used to receiving compliments. Her reserved nature showed it.
"Come on, sit down," Mike invited you with a half smile. "I ordered enough burgers and fries for all of us."
You watched him with an arched eyebrow and a puzzled expression but agreed to follow his lead and subsequently sat down next to Vanessa.
"Hi, Abs," you greeted the girl, who was sitting on the other side next to Vanessa.
"Hi," she replied simply as she ate fries on top of the paper that previously wrapped her hamburger.
You grabbed a burger from the bag and some fries, and a can of soda that was sitting cold on the table, ready and waiting to be taken. You began by eating in silence, but it was getting a little desperate as time went on.
"What's the reason for this meeting?" you asked curiously, and also to break the ice.
"Well, it's Abby's last day of school," Mike replied. You had been so absent lately, almost in the clouds, that you completely forgot that summer break had arrived.
"Oh!" You exclaimed. "That's right! Congratulations, Abs!"
"So, I wanted to have a get-together with the people most important to me, to celebrate," Abby continued, and you pouted, followed by a brief 'Awww'.
The night had gone wonderfully, filled with laughter and exchange of anecdotes, most coming from Abby, being about how she got in trouble every time she gave a bully their comeuppance or how she began to make friends after many months staying in isolation.
As dinner came to an end, you and Vanessa said goodbye to Mike and Abby, thanking them for the invitation. It was 10 p.m., still early for you. Normally, your outings alone with her ended at around 1 a.m., so you could perfectly well continue on your own if she wished.
Vanessa seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"Do you want to walk around the neighborhood?" She offered gently. Perhaps it was an unusual thing to do at that hour. However, the blonde was wearing her uniform and was armed. Nothing could happen.
"Are you on the clock?" You asked, not wanting such a thing to be an inconvenience or cause for scolding.
She shrugged, "If they don't call me through the Walkie Talkie, I am not," she chuckled.
Vanessa didn't want to stray too far during the walk, so in case she was called, she could easily return to her car and drive to where she was needed.
A comfortable silence had fallen this time, until she spoke first, "Those burgers were delicious, don't you think?"
You laughed, "Yeah, I didn't know that place," you commented, looking down, concentrating on how the pavement moved slowly as you took steps.
"It's a new local business that opened. I go there sometimes. They have really good burritos and milkshakes," she replied. "I'll take you there one of these days. On me."
"Only if next time it's on me."
"On one condition," she replied. Such a statement made you look up quickly.
"That you let me pick you up..." she took a deep breath. "And if it's a date."
And that was the sentence you never expected to hear. That was the moment you never expected to witness. Vanessa seemed to feel the same way you did, it was now a fact and not a fantasy that existed in your wildest dreams.
"Those are two conditions," you didn't know why you said that, maybe to bring a little humor and that way mitigate the nerves that quickly spread through your body, like an electric current passing through your veins.
"Yes," she murmured, as she let out a slight chuckle. "It's silly, please forget I asked you that question."
"Vanessa, I do want to go on a date with you,"
She let out a sigh, and that's when you realized that she had been holding her breath maybe since she proposed her two conditions to you.
To which you agreed. She picked you up punctually at the established time in her regular car. Her hair was down in beautiful waves that showed off her peculiar golden color, and her outfit was composed of a knee-length coat, mom jeans, and a shirt tucked into it. She looked incredibly beautiful. You couldn't believe you were on a date with such a gorgeous woman.
Despite already possessing the title of date, this outing was no different from the others. Deep topics never touched on personal matters, somehow remaining a mystery beyond what each chose to reveal.
That changed drastically when you noticed that she began to dissociate for a moment after you brought up a topic that didn't seem to be of impact. It was only about a stuffed rabbit you had for five years of your childhood.
"Are you okay? Did I say something wrong...?" you asked, concerned palpable all over your face.
"Look, (Y/N), I like you very much," she replied, and as much as you were happy to hear such a thing, you dreaded hearing the next sentence. "I don't know what you want right now, but I do want a serious relationship. I'd rather say this before there are misunderstandings. I need to know, so I'm sure if I reveal to you every aspect of myself, or if I should back off."
"I do want something serious with you," you were quick to reply. The girl next to you was too wonderful a being to settle for only the superficial or the banal. No, you were willing to love Vanessa. "Time will make me start to love you. And there is no turning back now."
She let out a deep breath, "If you want to leave after what I'm about to tell you, I'll understand."
You took her hand across the table and squeezed it in a ressuring manner.
"The disappearance of the children, at the pizzeria. My father is the owner, and he was also responsible," she confessed, looking down at her plate, fear preventing her from meeting your gaze.
Those words hit you like a bucket of cold water on your head. The fact that she frequented that place despite its closure, the connection she seemed to have with it, it all made sense. She seemed to want to cling to what might have been if not for her father's heinous acts, which filled her with overwhelming guilt. You could see it in her eyes.
And since you still had your hand holding hers, you gently rubbed your thumb to bring her comfort, somehow telling her you were still there.
"The first time I tried to stop him, he found a way to bring Vanny back afloat," just mentioning that name made her muscles tense.
"Vanny?" you repeated. As much as you wanted to avoid questions and let her go at her own pace, you were struck by what she said.
"That part of me that's able to endure what he did," she explained. "And that's willing to do what he wants. It's not me, it's complicated..."
"I understand," you nodded. You didn't want her to feel the need to explain further.
"Anyway, he manages to put this mask on me and that's how he's kept me from stopping him all these years," she continued, and her eyes began to water. "I thought I was useless at stopping him, that is, until Mike and Abby needed my help, and they gave me the strength to finally defeat him."
You listened intently to every word, and even if you didn't respond verbally, you provided constant caresses on her hand to let her know everything that words perhaps couldn't describe at once. "I'm here, I will never leave you" was the main thing you sought to convey.
You knew that night that Vanessa was not only conformed by the woman in front of you, but also by a little wounded girl who had to grow up very fast, and had to create her mechanisms to be able to face the terrible childhood she had to live.
Her father did not leave the children alone even after their death and manipulated them to contribute to committing more abominations, just as he did with Vanessa. But we all hit rock bottom sooner or later, and she was finally able to end a nightmare that lasted for decades.
She did it for those missing children, for that little girl who still lived inside her, and for all the children she saved. You understood then that behind her previous coma state was the ultimate act of bravery, and why her connection to Mike and Abby was so sacred.
Vanessa revealed all that to you with the intention of letting you know ahead of time who you were about to get emotionally involved with, and that way, you still had time to decide whether to leave or stay. And for not a split second did you dare to doubt that your decision was the latter.
"I am willing to love you for how you are and for how you were. I will love that part of you that had to face what you couldn't, and I will love that little girl who lives inside you and deserves to heal. I will love you, a survivor who has so much to live for."
She went into your arms, and cried what was evidently stuck for years. You did your best to bring as much comfort as possible both to her and to every version of her that needed it just as much.
It only remains to say that you kept your promise. You showed her in a thousand ways, every day, that if you were willing to love her, you were going to get it no matter how complicated or challenging it might be. It wasn't all easy, but there was no better reward than the fact that your now wife has finally forgiven herself, living the life she deserved, and you were part of it.

Parting Gift
You love Mike, but he's jaded.
Mike Schmidt x GN! Reader
A/N: Something for my FNAF fans! I’ve been watching too much HBO and wanted to write angst, so this fic features a realistic Mike Schmidt. This features hints of Vanessa x Mike, but also his emotional problems in general. We love him, but I don’t think its controversial to say that being in a relationship with him would be difficult... 
Please read my other Mike works if this isn’t your kind of thing! 
Set post movie.

You never went inside. 
As a detective, you weren’t oblivious to the irony of it all. You’d been to hospitals thousands of times; speaking to suspects, injured colleagues or even to address the dreaded ‘call’, and yet the thought of watching Mike and Abby leave handmade cards at Vanessa “Shelly’s” bedside made you violently ill.  
You knew everything that had gone down at the defunct Freddy Fazbear’s, and it had plagued you to no end. Though Abby and Mike’s relationship had certainly turned for the better, you were angry, frustrated at the fact that he’d been hurt, not only from being physically punted across the room, but the fact he’d had to stare his brother’s killer in the eye, virtually powerless to it all. Even more so, you were pissed that Vanessa had become a factor in your lives. 
You’d only been dating Mike for just under a year, meeting him in a rather cliched manner at a donut stand in the mall. An exchange of numbers turned into casual check-ins, which soon evolved into a relationship – or at least parts of one. It was no secret that Mike was guarded; letting you in, but not too close enough to get overly attached. At first, it felt like you were made for each other – you felt a similar way about you line of work, and how you operated with people because of it – but closer towards those crucial few months of the new year it had begun to grow tedious. 
You weren’t expecting a whirlwind, all-consuming romance, but it certainly wasn’t supposed to feel like this; with days of missed calls, unexplained outbursts and erectile dysfunction making being with him feel like a chore. Some days, you wondered why you’d even bothered asking for his number. Most days, you wondered why he’d responded at all. 
Deep down, you knew none of this was his fault. He'd been fighting to survive since he was a teenager, and it was only inevitable that he’d develop issues. Being a detective meant you were all the more receptive to them, understanding the nuances of why people became the way that they were, and it was painfully clear to you why Mike had changed since the incident. 
He and Vanessa were both conjoined, victims of William Afton in their own ways, yet both bound by blood. You’d been there when he’d stopped on the way home to visit her, listening from the outside as you supervised Abby. Why couldn’t you all go in? It wasn’t as if it were a particularly gory scene; it merely looked like she was sleeping. Why had he made you all wait? 
“Vanessa, I don’t know if… you can hear any of this, but, um… I’m having a hard time just processing everything that happened. 
But you were there for me and Abby when it mattered the most. 
And I don’t think that either of us would be here today if it weren’t for you. 
So… So get better. And we’ll be here when you wake up.” 
The words were as clear as day. Hadn’t you been there for them? Tried to give Abby a sense of a stable life? Tried to help with bills? Offering to send him to counselling? Why had it taken a near fatal murder attempt for Mike to wake up? 
Now, with all the fallout, you were all left with far more questions than answers…and this time you didn’t have the energy to try and solve them. 
“Abby’s sleeping,” you announced, poking your head through the door. Mike was rummaging around his room, trying to prepare himself for work in the morning – a menial task for some, but strangely methodical to him in the moment. He didn’t answer. 
“Abby’s sleeping,” you repeated, and he perked up, a flustered smile tugging at the corner of his lips.  
“Oh...” he said, clearing his throat. “Thanks. I guess I lost track of time…” 
“Yeah.” you mumbled, leaning against the doorframe, clearly waiting for something…you just didn’t know what. 
“Thanks —“ he said after a moment of silence, his soft brown eyes gazing into your own. You could see him nervously gnawing on the inside of of his cheek. “—For helping. I really do appreciate it. I’m not trying to seem like a douche, there’s just been a lot on my mind recently.” 
“I’m not surprised,” you hummed, strolling into the room. “But it’s been bugging you for a while now. Don’t you want to…you know…talk to someone?” 
Mike paused and cocked his head. 
“Like a therapist?” 
“That would be a good option,” you hummed, trying not to dance around the subject. “Or you can speak to me. I won’t even psychoanalyse you, I could just listen, y’know?” 
He bit his lip again, this time glancing down at the floor before back at you. You couldn’t quite make out what he was thinking, but he was certainly showing signs of restraint. Restraint. It seemed to be the defining word in your relationship.  
“…I don’t think you’d understand.” 
“Oh, but Vanessa would, right?” 
He flinched at your raised voice, and glanced nervously down the hall. 
“That’s not what I meant —“ 
“Then what do you mean, Mike?” you huffed, crossing your arms. “You met her a month ago, whilst I’ve known you for a year! You’ve never once given me as much grace as you have her. Ever!” 
“I had a lot on my plate, okay? It wasn’t easy.” 
“I know that! But I was there for you. I watched you pick up those prescriptions, I tried to be a role model to Abby, to help take the load off all those payments, and I got nothing!” you yelled. “I wasn’t asking for a mile, but you didn’t even give me an inch.” 
Mike didn’t respond, instead he ran a hand through his hair, pushing the stray strands away from his face before he rubbed his eyes. 
“How is it that you can mend every relationship you have except the one you willingly chose to be in?” You said, voice wavering as you watched him sink into the bed. It was his natural response; life was crushing and had done so many times, but his lack of fight was extremely telling. He could stand off with a serial killer and haunted animatronics, but not muster a few words to  reassure his partner? 
He was just too complicated for you to understand. 
“I’m sorry…” he mumbled, shaking his head absentmindedly before looking up at you. “Maybe I didn’t think this through…” 
You knew what that meant, and even though you’d been anticipating it – even manifesting it yourself – it didn’t make the blow any easier. Sighing, you steadied your week knees by sitting on the bed next to Mike, grasping at the bedsheets as you stared blankly around the room. For once, it felt like you were both in the same page. 
“I love you,” he said, breaking the tension. You glanced at him, taking in the fact that his eyes were welling with tears and jaw clenched, and you could tell that he meant it. “I really did, y’know? I tried.” 
You nodded, rubbing at your cheeks anxiously before kissing him. His lips were slightly chapped, but you didn’t mind, losing yourself in the way he drew you into his body with you hands, clinging onto you as he made a desperate plea to attempt to reach out to you for a final time.  
Before you knew it, you back was against the mattress, and Mike was on-top of you, hurriedly pulling down his sweatpants before doing the same to you. As your lower torso lay exposed, he pressed a kiss to your stomach, making his way around your belly button and down towards your privates. Shutting your eyes, you wondered what your relationship could’ve been if every time felt like this; electric and passionate…with intent. 
Once he’d slipped his boxers to the side, you gave his erect cock a few languid strokes before inserting him into you, letting out a broken moan as he adjusted to being inside of you. Mike’s eyes fluttered shut as he sighed, and you remembered just how beautiful he looked in his (rare) moments of bliss.  
He stabilised himself on his forearms as he watched you, rolling his hips as he explored your hole, searching for that all-important sweet spot. The room may have been dimly lit; the darkness of night encroaching upon the walls, but he could see you all too clearly. It pained him that he hadn’t before – no, he had, but he didn’t know how to express it – and wondered just how much different things would’ve been had he not met Vanessa, hell, had he not attacked that man that fateful day. He knew some things had changed for the better, some for the worst, and some that only time would tell – and he had a sneaking suspicion that you fell into the latter. 
His mind was hell, but it felt like heaven to be inside you.  
Leaning down, he placed a sloppy kiss to your lips before moving to your neck, groaning as you ran your fingers through his hair and whispered sweet nothings into his ear. 
“Mike...” you moaned. “You’re so good to me...” 
‘For me’ was left unuttered.  
“Please...” you begged; your words almost inaudible over the creaking of his bedframe, and his heavy thighs slapping against your own as he rutted into you. “Cum for me. I need it...” 
Mike nodded, damp strands of his fringe glued to his forehead as he pushed into you a final time, his legs trembling as he came. It was unfathomable that in the heat of his pleasure – the best orgasm you’d had together – he wanted to cry. Breathlessly, you held him as he rode off his high, so tightly that you thought you might’ve pierced his skin, before you spoke your final words into the night. 
“I love you too...” you whispered. “I’m sorry...for everything.” 
You were gone before sunrise.

Notes I have after watching the movie again:
- When Mike was telling Vanessa about Garrett, she kept looking away, not even saying anything like “I’m sorry for your loss.” She seems to have known that her dad was responsible by her actions, but did she find out before that moment, or did she only just realize what the connection was when Mike told her the story?
- Abby specifically said it was Golden Freddy who told her what happened to Garrett, so he somehow knows the specifics of what happened. When he told her this is uncertain.
- Vanessa stared at the picture of the children and the yellow rabbit in one scene, and I wonder if it was her who drew it, or perhaps GF? It would have to be someone who knows that the kids were playing with Spring Bonnie.
- Vanessa knows that Mike can change what happened in his dreams. Did she have some sort of dream experience when she was there? Or does she understand the feeling of wishing she could go back in time and change something from her past?
- GF is actively changing Mike’s dream and he knows what Mike wants, despite what he says to the kids. How does GF know what he’s thinking?
- Golden Freddy never attacked Mike in his dream, only the other children.
- It’s left ambiguous whether Aunt Jane died in the movie. If GF left her alive, did he do that on purpose? If so, did he do it because he didn’t want to kill her for personal reasons, or because she was Abby’s family? Would he have spared Mike’s life if the other children hadn’t been there to handle him?
- Vanessa showed up exactly when Mike was about to die. How did she know Mike was in danger? Did someone warn her? Was she hanging out there and heard him pounding on the door?
- GF disappears after Abby gets into the building and isn’t there to attack Abby. He leaves just as she’s about to be taken hostage by the other kids. Why wasn’t he forced to help like the other kids?
- When Vanessa shot William, she looked upset that she did, like it pained her to hurt him. She wasn’t really afraid, she was sad that her dad put her in the position where she had no choice but to hurt him.
- At the end, when the spotlights were turned on the picture and Afton, how did they point in the right direction? Mike flipped the breaker to turned the lights back on, but the spotlights came on at specific times. Did Golden Freddy turn the lights on? The lights seemed to work the same way as they did when the ghosts were manipulating them.
- Afton actually cried in pain when the GF ghost was watching, even reaching out for help. He let his guard down in front of this one child, while before he’d held it in to try and remain in control. Did the pain become too much to hide, or did he show weakness on purpose?
- GF kept on staring as Afton writhed in pain, not even smiling at his torment, only shutting the door without a word, without a hint of emotion or breaking eye contact.
- Vanessa is only listed in the credits by her first name, not even the last name Shelly.

have you ever thought about how movie Mike Schmidt never actually got a chance to process what happened to Garrett?
He spent years torturing himself, forcing himself to remember his brother's kidnapping in the hope that his brither was alive and could be saved.
And then, he finally found out what happened-- not exactly what happened, not how it happened, or even WHY; why William chose to kill, or why GARRETT was one of the kids chosen.
All those years desperately believing and hoping that his brother was alive, and then "i killed your brother, and now I kill you."
And Mike, at least not a screen, didn't get a chance. Not to be angry that after all those years of hoping, and he learns that his brother is dead, has been dead that whole time, nothing left to be saved. Not a chance to grieve having that hope viciously ripped away from him. Not a scene of Mike going to bed, only to stare up at the poster of Nebraksa, realize it's meaningless, debate tearing it down entirely now that he knows Garrett can't be saved.
Don't get me wrong, Mike deciding to let Garrett and his past go so he doesn't tear himself apart and lose Abby was a good thing.
But it happened so quickly. There was no resolution to his history with Garrett, neither plot-wise nor more personally in terms of his life. There wasn't even a second for him to wonder if perhaps Garrett is possessing an animatronic somewhere, as would have likely been the natural conclusion for him to turn to.
I don't think Mike putting Garrett behind him like he did in the movie was as healthy as he thought. He didn't want to lose Abby by being so obsessed with Garrett, so he shut Garrett out of his mind entirely-- he overcorrected without resolving, processing, or dealing with any of his feelings, I think.
What do you think? Do you see things differently?

WHAT THE FUCK. OKAY,‼️‼️‼️‼️ I ACTUALLY DIDNT RLY RHINK OT THAT ....
ough. Poor poor Mike, he's just. Such a bundle of nerves, he never gets a chance to fully understand the weight. He's so fucking impulsive
He wants to know. He wants to have time for himself, but he just doesn't. He has Abby. He wants to make sure that Vanessa is okay(she's related to the bastard who killed his brother, who else knows what she's been thru)
OUGH.......
He wants to understand.
His mind is just crowded
He is thinking so much
Abby is the priority. Take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her.
take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her
take care of her.
It's all Abby, she's here. She's here with him physically.
take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her take care of her.
First: His mind is set on finding what happened to Garrett. The next, he totally forgets about Garrett. He doesn't think about it, because he's had for years. (but sometimes his mind secretly thinks more about it. where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? where is he? / Is she like the others? Ah! What nonsense! It's been years & Garrett would love to sleep and just rest: he's still out there he's still out there he's still out there he's still out there HE HAS TO he's still out there he's still out there he's still out there he's still out there HE HAS TO he's still out there he's still out there HE HAS TO he's still out there he's still out there)
"I killed your brother, now I kill you". What the fuck? And he had no time to react. He was kicked away(kicked on his stomach? On his face?), and didnt have ANY TIME for himself to process it all
Abby's here. Vanessa is bleeding out. Oh God, she's bleeding out. The animatronics are getting closer. What do they want now? Mr Raglan is the man who killed his brother (is he?). He's getting pinched & poked with metal spikes. How is he..... calm?? HOW IS CALM? JUST HOW!? WHY? WHY IS HE LIKE THIS?
What the hell does he mean— OH FUCK, he needs to see if Abby is okay! Vanessa too. Vanessa better not be dead after they all went thru (Mike might feel selfish for this.. but he wants her to live, because if she were to die he would feel part of himself dead as well; Mike sees himself in her, and Vanessa sees herself in Mike. He just knows it. They are from the same coin. He doesn't want to empty again)

FNaF Movie Ramble
Long story short, I really like the movie, I really like Mike, Vanessa, and Abby, and I want them to be happy.
There be spoilers beyond this point.
I love the little found family that started forming between Vanessa with Mike and Abby. I know it hasn't gone anywhere yet, but we all know the signs. Please, Mr. Cawthon, let Vanessa take on an older sister/mother figure role like Mike.
I love how Mike has a roundabout way of talking when he's being emotional. He doesn't just say, "I love you," or, "Thank you," to Abby and Vanessa respectively, he rambles and goes on whole tangents about why he feels that way and it works. It works so good. And I am also talking about game Mike.
I love how William was handled. I was surprised he didn't get a lot of screen time, but it works. William is a behind-the-scenes guy. It's not until he comes on stage, front and center, that you realize what he's been doing this whole time. And the scenes he is in, he kinda steals the show. I didn't expect William to have an outburst near the end when the animatronics started turning on him, but of course he would. In his eyes, he made them better than they were ever going to be alive, and not even seconds ago, they considered him a friend. And the sheer confidence of this man to put the Spring Bonnie head back on while actively being spring locked is insane. (Anyone else think William may have forced Vanessa to learn how to treat wounds for whenever he had issues with the spring lock suit?)
William giving a young Vanessa the toys from his victims makes me wonder if game William did the same. Of course, when game William started killing, his kids were long since dead, but still. Imagine, Michael going into his siblings' rooms that aren't touched unless they're being cleaned, and he starts seeing these toys that don't belong to Elizabeth and Evan, but they look like toys they'd like. At first, Michael ignores it, thinking he just didn't notice it at first, even though he knows. He knows everything that's supposed to be in that room and he knows those toys aren't supposed to be there. Eventually, he asks William and he just says he bought them 'cause they reminded him of Ev and Liz. It doesn't 100% work for Mike, but it works enough, so he leaves it alone. After all, people celebrate a passed loved one's birthday, so why wouldn't they get gifts too? Even if they just stay in their old rooms. Then one day, Michael randomly gets a gift from William. I can't think of anything better, so let's just say a cassette tape for his Walkman. It's a tape that Michael would actually listen to, and it's relatively new, so Michael's confused why it's just the tape and no case, but since a gift means a good day, he doesn't question it. At least, not out loud anyway.
I wonder what happened to Aunt Jane. I know she was most likely killed by Golden Freddy, but there's a chance Mike brought her to the hospital and neither him or Abby are visiting 'cause neither of them like her. Imagine your niece and nephew visiting the hospital almost every day, but to see someone who is borderline a stranger to them and not you. I'm absolutely "making" a game counterpart to Aunt Jane, though. She's William's younger sister and she's almost as vile and manipulative. Just not keen on murder. Directly, anyway. Though in the games, she wouldn't have a trigger to want to get rid of someone like she does in the movie, but if she did have one, she'd be willing to kill. Maybe she could talk William into it. She still smells like cigarettes and is the reason the Afton kids hate the smell.
I initially thought Garrett was Abby's imaginary friend, but--save for the fact that it was essentially deconfirmed--it wouldn't make sense for Garrett to haunt his sister and not his brother who he would've known was kind of losing his mind from the trauma of his kidnapping. In any case, I'm currently going with the theory that Garrett is the Puppet and the one behind the "Come find me." message at the end of the credits. We'll see.
Since FNaF 2 is a prequel, I wonder if the FNaF 2 movie will also be a prequel. And if so, will Jeremiah be our protag? I know he was probably just a reference to Jeremy Fitzgerald and nothing more, but if he's not, then game Jeremiah and game Mike are work buddies. And if he is movie Jeremy Fitzgerald, I wonder if he wanted the dream theory book Mike has because he also had weird dreams while working at Freddy's. Maybe. Maybe not.
Tutorial Lady/VHS Lady/Kim and Phone Guy are totally married and their kids are Phone Dude and Tape Girl.
I know Mike being an Afton is basically impossible now, but if another twist is Mike and Vanessa are twins or related in some way, and Mike was given up while Vanessa was kept, I'd be 110% down. Then it'd be found family in the most literal sense. It doesn't 100% work, sure, but it'd be neat. (Imagine recognizing the son you gave up 'cause you recognized his last name 'cause you killed his brother.)
In any case, I really love this movie, and I want Mike, Vanessa, and Abby to be happy. Family dynamic, please, Mr. Cawthon.

THE FUCKING FNAF MOVIE !!!!!
ALRIGHT SO HUGE MASSIVE FNAF MOVIE SPOILERS, I JUST WANNA RANT ABT THE MOVIE BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST GOT HOME FROM WATCHING IT, ALR YOUVE BEEN WARNED, ENJOY <3
general funny theatre moments:
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD /POS
alright so first thing i wanna say is that there were several moments where the theatre LOST THEIR SHIT
the first moment was when matpat. basically you here his voice before you see him, and the SECOND his face was showed everyone was just yelling "OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD" and then he said the "its just a theory" line is everyone lost it again JHKFSD
and then the second moment was when they played the FUCKING LIVING TOMBSTONE FNAF SONG. LIKE THE SONG
THE WHOLE THEATRE LITERALLY CHEERED AND CLAPPED AND FUCKING LOST IT THAT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD
LITERALLY I HEARD AND FUCKING INTRO FREDDY LAUGH AND ME AND MY BROTHER WENT APESHIT
also during the scene where the babysitter gets bit
when she was investigating freddys teeth
my brother joking leaned over and was like "was that the bite of 87 :OOOOOO"
AND THEN HER ASS GOT CHOMPED
AND WE BOTH JUST STARTED LAUGHING OUR ASSES OFF CAUSE HE WAS LIKE "OH SHIT I WAS JOKING JKFHSDJKH"
Positives !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKAY MY LIKE MY FAVORITE THING EVER
WAS THE FACT THAT THEY LEANED INTO THE CHILDISH GHOST ASPECT
like this is the first time in canon material we really see them delving more into the fact that they really are just lost and scared Dead Children
like the fact that they showed how they truly were just robo children, like building a huge blanket fort, tickling abby, the fact that they brought up how the ghosts understand pictures more, like the end scene where mike is like "show them what really happened" and abby draws a little crayon scene of afton killing the kids
like in alot of fanon stuff people love going into that
but this is the first time in canon shit that we see them just. being kids
and i thought that was genuinely so fucking cool
like the blanket fort scene was honestly adorable, if a little out of place
THE FUCKING ANIMATRONICS WERE GORGEOUS
LIKE HOLY FUCKING THEY WERE AMAZING
THEY WERE SO FUCKING SMOOTH
WE GET SO MANY CLOSEUPS ON THEM YET THEY LOOK NOTHING BUT PERFECT
THEIR MOVEMENTS WERE VERY SMOOTH AND FLOWY
AND THEY JUST LOOKED FUCKING MAGNIFICIENT
LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY WERE IN DEPTH ON SCREEN I WAS JUST BOGGLED BY HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY WERE
ALSO EVERYONES ACTING WAS SO GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!
ik some people were a little on edge with fucking PEETA MELLARK being mike
but MAN did he pop his pussy during this movie omfg
AND THE KIDS WERE ALL AMAZING AS WELL
abby and the freddy ghost kid were WONDERFUL
plus matthew lillard obviously played insane Very Well
I HONESTLY LOVED THE REOCCURING BB TOY BIT FHJKSDJHK
where like it kept showing up in places and then mike would just like turn it around and put it in timeout
AND THEN THE END CREDIT SCENE WHERE IT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF CORY KENSHINS CHARACTER SDFJKHJHKFLS
THE SCENE WHEN THE ASSHOLES BREAK IN WAS D O P E DUDE
LIKE THE DUDE GETTIN KILLED BY CUPCAKE IN THE FRIDGE
AND THEN THE OTHER DUDE RUNNING AND DYING BY BONNIE IN THE CLOSET
AND ALSO JFHSDKHJKFSD
the part where the main guy watches them on the cams and sees bonnie and chica just chillin by the vent
and then chica just leeaaaannsssssss down and puts cupcake in the vent
and then just both just >:( at the camera
AND THE RED EYES !!!!!!!!!!!
IDK IF THEY JUST. FIXED THEM AFTER THE TRAILER, OR IF SMTH ABT THE TRAILER JUST MADE THEM LOOK WORSE
BUT ACTUALLY IN PRACTICE THEY WERE GREAT
VERY mild negatives
i only really have two Actual gripes with certain choices
the anti-climatic springlock scene, and the choice to make vanessa the afton and not mike
like for the springlock failure scene, in all iterations of it, its always an instant thing
like in that one minigame scene, you hear them creak for a sec, and then they ALL chomp at once and he screams
but in the movie it was just kinda gradual which ig they had to do??
like how all the major death scenes were either off screen or like,,,,, shadows
which ig i understand bc they didnt wanna make it too exclusive by going all the way to r rated
but yeah in like all iterations of the springlock failure scene its always smth wet triggers in, and then bam they all go off, like theres springlocks EVERYWHERE like those fuckers puncture EVERYTHING
i mean we get like some close ups of them cutting into his stomach but like
still wouldve liked a more Instantaneous springlock scene
my only other real gripe with it was the choice to make vanessa the afton and not mike
really the choice to include her at All was odd to me like ever since the cast list came out
like just,,,,,,, chronologically why is she here (but hey when has fnaf ever liked its timelines
ANYWAY
the choice to COMPLETELY change mikes story by giving him the like dead little brother and alive little sister and like
someone actually pointed out a really good point where it was like
why did afton kidnap a kid from some random ass family at a campsite????
like the whole point was that stealing kids from the pizzeria was convenient, so why go all the way out to some forest in nebraska to kill a kid
but back to vanessa, like i understand how in the books there was the vanessa a., so obviously everyone thought that stood for afton, and even when she was in security breach people thought she was an afton
i just think the choice to make Her aftons kid, and make MIKE FUCKIGN SCHMIDT have zero relation to him was just Very Odd
---------
BUT ANYWAY. STRANGE STORY DECISIONS ASIDE THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT FUCKING MOVIE. THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER THEATRE HORROR EXPERIENCE, AND GODDAMN WAS IT WORTH IT. FNAF HAS BEEN SUCH A GENUINELY HUGE PART OF MY LIFE SINCE PROBABLY WAY YOUNGER THAN IT SHOULDVE BEEN, BUT SO MUCH OF IT HAS BROUGHT ME TO BE WHO I AM TODAY AND JUST. HGRHGHRGHGRHGHGRHGRGHHGRGHRGH
ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK :D

JUST SAW THE FNAF MOVIE AND OMG
If any fans are still on the fence about seeing it, DO IT (long as you're fine with a bit of blood and flashing lights)
You will not regret it, so many references and the acting is amazing!
Spoilers underneath cuz i gotta scream about the specifics:
This will be chaos because I am typing as I think but enjoy my ranting
Now I feel bad about bashing Mike for bringing Abby there in the first place- (still dumb that he fell asleep with her there and having a whole minute of being willing to give up his sister, but I'll give him a pass on that)
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WITH VANESSA! I'm happy she made the right choice in the end but I KNEW something was going on!
But the gasp I gasped at the reveal lol (Also her holding the brother's toy in the photo was double gasp)
Also is it bad I was smiling the whole scene of the people breaking in being attacked? Karma ig
Also that girl following a random child and getting THAT close to an animatronics mouth? No wonder you got Bite-of-87-ed
Ik it went south but that whole scene of them making the fort with the animatronics was so cute AHHHHH
Also can't be upset that her aunt died, i mean- calling Abby mentally ill because she likes drawing and talking to supposed imaginary friends? THAT'S what you call it?
I was really worried when the animatronics went all evil on Abby, but the reveal of Will being behind it was great
As someone who watched dubs of the original SIlver Eyes trilogy, I appreciated the references at the end
Also, WILL GETTING SPRINGLOCKED AT THE END! When we were going in to the theater i remarked about how i hoped it would happen!
Carl getting to attack people was funny to me, same with the Balloon Boy figurine randomly popping up lol
MATPAT CAMEO! "That's just a theory" He said the thing!
"I always come back" Yeah ik you do but let the children have a win for once g o d
That's all I have for now, might think of other things to scream about, idk
Overall the movie was great, it was so great to sit in a theater with other people getting excited about similar things with me and share this interest with my girlfriend

I've been meaning to answer this!! Sorry it took me so long.
So when I say hilariously bad, I mean in like its objectively a bad horror movie but it is also really fun and enjoyable. It may have been the wrong phrasing really. Maybe enjoyably bad would have been better.
I really enjoyed the Fnaf movie!! It was a lot of fun and I loved how the animatronics looked. As a Fnaf fan (though only recently, I wasnt there for the big boom) I enjoyed all of the references. While the decision to make the animatronics more sympathetic and child like was unexpected I actually really enjoyed it!
Matthew Lillard was definately a highlight, even if he wasnt there a lot and I actually really enjoyed Mike's character and his relationship with Abby.
Also the animation on the cupcake was fucking hilarious, that mf was just flying around and going ham on people's limbs. Why did it look like that.
The opening music was absolutely banger and the animation was a great reference to the games. I enjoyed that a lot.
The sets where really awesome, I loved what they did with the lighting in the pizzeria and did I say the animatronics looked awesome? They looked awesome. They looked just like the game counterparts and the way they movied looked so accurate and ough, I love costumes. Spring trap looked fucking awesome too, I really enjoyed art direction in the movie.
But, it is still critically a bad movie, there were quite a few problems that I noticed. The pacing was off in a lot of places. While I liked the scene of the characters playing with the animatronics, it went for far too long and I found myself sitting there wondering when they were going to move on. There also definately should have been more Afton, not just because I like Matthew Lillard in the role but because it felt like spring trap was kind of shoehorned in at the end because they needed that final scene. If you knew nothing about Fnaf or the fact that Lillard was supposed to be Afton, you probably would have no idea he was actually the killer. I feel like there should have been more scenes of Mike and Afton interacting that included hints to who he really is.
I really hated Vanessa. She felt so unnecessary, contradictory and was just kind of annoying. She was apparently supposed to be keeping Mike in the dark but I didnt get that from her at all? Like she was constantly giving him lore, telling him to keep Abby away from the Pizzeria and was just overall helping him? She was also just far too familiar and friendly when they first met it just came off as, is annoying the right word? It definately felt weird. I understand she wanted to try and expose her father, but her actions, I dunno they didn't reflect that all that well? I was never really sure what her motivations were. The fact that she was a cop was so unnecessary too, why did she need to be a police officer? It was never used in any meaningful way. Also she just throws Mike's medication into the river!! Who does that!! She also felt shoehorned in for the sake of having an adult female lead that could be a possible love interest in another movie. Her character could have been so much better and she feels like wasted potential. Maybe I'll make a post about how I would rewrite her...
The whole Aunt trying to take Abby away also felt unnecessary. It doesnt get enough focus on it to feel like an actual threat and it really didn't need to be there. Mike could have just been a struggling guy who had to take the night shift to put dinner on their table. Abby still could have needed to come with him some nights. I honestly dont know why that plot point was in the movie tbh. The plot with the babysitter spying on them was even more pointless and if you wanted a scene where people break into the pizzeria there could have been a better way of doing it. Maybe one of Abby's schoolmates' siblings overhears her talking about the pizzeria decides that would be a great place to vandalize idk.
Mike's dream theory stuff was actually really interesting and cool! I really enjoyed that, but I wish it was focused on more. Maybe it would have been better in a different movie where it was the focus, rather than more of a side thing to the animatronics. The dream stuff did also shelve any use of the cameras in the pizzeria, which upset me because the cams are one of the key elements of the fnaf games. But instead he was just sleeping through scenes where they could have been used. The dreams also could have been a good use to hint at Afton being the killer if it was used a little bit better.
Lastly and most importantly, the movie was not scary. I know it was supposed to be for younger audiences, but still. For a movie based on a game about avoiding getting jumpscared, there were barely any of them! Funnily enough the scariest part of the movie was balloon boy, the jumpscare. I also just didnt feel tense at all? Maybe that was just me.
Despite all of this though, the movie was still enjoyable. It was a movie that I liked! The problems didnt take too much from my viewing experience and as I said I loved the references to the games. The final scene where Afton is getting Fnaf 3ed was fucking awesome! I loved how they incorporated that into the movie! Also he said 'I'll always come back.' Which was very good. Mat Pat was a nice cameo to see too! Loved the theory man. I wish that cassette girl said 'The animatronics do get a little quirky at night.' Though. ALSO THE MARRIONETTE CRUMBS IN THE END CREDITS?? I LOVE MARRIONETTE!!
Enjoyably bad definately reflects how I felt about the movie more than hilariously bad. It was a good bad movie 6/10.

What I expected from the FNAF movie, based off the trailers as well as what patchwork information I know from the games, in no particular order:
(Spoilers ahead, beware!)
At least one scene recreating the first FNAF's gameplay and atmosphere, with Mike in the office watching the cameras and managing the security doors and power while the animatronics recreate their various game poses on the cameras
Vanessa turning out to secretly be the bad guy, or at least have her evil alter ego Vanny pop up
Freddy's Toreador March
Foxy's hallway run
The animatronics to the be able to move quickly and smoothly, much as they do in the games
Matthew Lillard being a fantastic Springtrap, with a lot of suspense building up to his appearance and a brutal, bloody springlock scene
For either the animatronics to terrorize Abby, or for her to befriend them in secret without Mike's knowledge
Onscreen ghost children meaning we actually get to know the kids and their personalities and even their names
For the film to either take itself completely seriously given the horror and tragedy of the game's core concept and its bleak, tense atmosphere, or for the film to pull a M3GAN and go the self-aware dark horror comedy route, leaning fully into the more campy aspect of its concept while still delivering fun scares and an attempt at a genuinely meaningful message
A Markiplier cameo, or at least a nod to "the king of Five Nights at Freddy's"
What I got instead:
Little to no recreation of the original FNAF's gameplay and atmosphere; only the opening scene, the break-in sequence, and the climax really end up "feeling" like FNAF to me, but only in vague bits and pieces
Vanessa actually being a good guy with a surprisingly sympathetic and compelling storyline, even as she suffers from bad writing such as refusing to communicate properly with Mike or still inexplicably going along with Afton's murders despite her obvious horror
Literally no Toreador March despite it being blasted all over the trailers
Foxy inexplicably teleporting down the hallway
Foxy also being the absolutely most gosh-darn adorable of the animatronics
The animatronics portrayed as stiff, slow, heavy, and downright awkward, which makes one wonder how they are fast or sneaky enough to catch and kill nightguards
Matthew Lillard being a fantastic Springtrap, who literally just pops up out of nowhere during the climax with minimal build up, and a rather tame and underwhelming springlock sequence compared to FNAF 3, but my goodness Lillard just straights up eats this role alive and is easily the best part of the film
Mike not only just straight up immediately catching Abby befriending the animatronics, with little to no fanfare from the narrative, but also having a bizarre underreaction to the whole thing, like the very next day he only mildly uncomfortably asks Abby to talk to the giant animatronics possessed by dead kids about their missing brother, as if that's in any way shape or form an actually normal conversation to have
The ghost children/animatronics' story, and the sheer horror and tragedy of it, being shoved aside in favor of Mike's obsession with finding out who abducted his brother, all taking place in boring and repetitive dream sequences in a random forest; except for the Golden Freddy child, none of the other children even speak; Mike talking to the ghost kids and getting to know them, even connecting with them over the loss of his brother (who was even taken by Afton just like them!) could have been a genuinely intriguing and emotional plot, but the narrative doesn't seem to care about the children/animatronics as characters and Mike, for some bizarre reason, doesn't even seem effected by the kids being taken just like Garrett, even when he learns they were all taken by the same man, and it all just ends up feeling completely pointless and tacked on by the film ends
(And I say all this as someone who strongly prefers the fanfic-y "sentient animatronics" over the canon "possessed animatronics")
Finally, a minimal, underwhelming plot with a tone and structure that veered all over the place, letting me feel the sweet, nostalgic feeling of reading a fanfiction written by a teenager who doesn't understand how the real, adult world works: like, why are the goons attacking during the day, the exact time when Mike wouldn't be held accountable since he's off-duty? Why isn't Mike in jail after beating up that dad at his old job? What in the world happened with Aunt Jane's body? Did no one wonder where the heck Max went? Why did Vanessa help Abby and the animatronics build that fort and then immediately threaten to shoot Mike for letting Abby befriend the animatronics? Why does Afton do literally anything he does, especially with the big change-up to the Afton family dynamic? Why does literally no one actually REACT to the fact that the animatronics are possessed and that Abby and Mike can talk to dead people?!
No Markiplier :(
Surprisingly good soundtrack

AHHHHHHHH YOU FINALLY WATCHED IT!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO DUMP ALL MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE! Ok so i would like to say i LOVE the cameos that movie is filled with. Like the youtubers who helped made Fnaf mainstream, the references to fnaf history in the fandom like Sparky’s diner referencing the made up animatronic people were talking about back in the olden days, MATPAT’S ICONIC CATCHPHARSE, and just a lot of stuff from the Fnaf fandom that’s just THERE in the movie. The whole time i was in the theatre, everytime i see an easter egg from something in the franchise as a whole, i would like go “HEY THAT BOOK IS REFERENCING DREAM THEORY” or “HEY THAT SPRINGLOCK SUIT LOOK QUITE SIMILAR TO CIRCUS BABY!” (The springlock suit is actually a reference to Ella from the books but if i remembered correctly, Ella herself had some connection to Circus Baby? I might be wrong but there’s that) It was fun seeing those easter eggs and feels rewarding to recognize it.
I love how the animatronics looked exactly the same as they looked in the games, whoever made them are incredible. Like omg they are actually there and have you seen Dawko’s video visiting the set? They were so expressive and just there. They just straight up came out of the games and are now in real life, i dont think i can ever get over my astonishment of the animatronics.
Now the plot, I honestly love the plot. A bit simple? Sorta but it made sense. It was perfect for newcomers to watch it without prior knowledge of fnaf but familiar enough that old fans enjoy it as well. The characters were amazing. I love Mike and Abby’s relationship as we see how much both of them mean to each other like the fact Mike will do anything to protect his sister and Abby adding Mike to her drawings most of the time, their interactions are just so cute and god i love it. Then we have Vanessa which was an unexpected surprise since we meet her in Security Breach but it was a weIcome surprise. Throughout the movie, i keep questioning how the hell does a police officer know so much about an old pizzaria, like sure she may be a super fan but that explanation didint satisfy me but then it turns out she’s William Afton daugther and my jaw was dropped. No wonder she knew so much about it and no wonder she was so weird to Mike about it. She was trying to protect him. But with her being in a coma now, my mind cant help but remember the “I will put you back together” scene. Ik William isnt there but yk, for some reason i think she’s going to have nightmares that are just Fnaf 4.
I also love the fact that the movie show that the animatronics are more than killing machines but children. The fort scene was honestly my favourite, at first it was funny because yk we have 4 clunky animatronics, 2 tired adults, and a very excited child trying their best to make a fort, funny stuff are absolutely going to happened and i laughed when Bonnie fell and just gave a thumbs up to show he’s okay. But then we get to see them laying down in their fort and i just saw 4 kids. 4 kids getting to actually be kids. Something they havent been since their deaths and the once what was funny became bittersweet. It just shows how tragic their death was and later we get to find out how their unknowingly working with the man behind their slaugther? It’s just sad.
Also what do you think of the plot holes they leave behind? Like what are the connection between Abby and the ghost children, we know she’s been drawing them way before Mike ever started working at the pizzaria? Could it be because she’s the puppet’s sister since there’s been theory that Garret is the puppet. The first one to be killed. And i actually believe that might be true with all the evidence we have but can that explain about Abby’s connection to the kids? No. Then there’s like the question about did anyone noticed the crooks that Aunt Jane hired dissapearance? Vanessa probably covered it up but im not too sure. Also wth did Mike do with his Aunts body? Im sure questions will arise for what happened to her in the neighborhood. But nevetheless Im sure that these answers will be answered in the sequel which we’ll see i guess.
Now how i think the brothers feel about the movie? Lucifer and Ik probably sympathise with Mike because the former is basically a single father taking care of his 6 children and the latter seeing her father in him. Mammon will have nightmares to the point that he scared to turn the lights off. Beel may or may not have second thoughts eating a cupcake after seeing Carl brutually murdering people (why the hell does the cupcake have a high body count than the others????). The rest is basically what you drew.
Ok so i still have more things to say but for now that is all. What do you think of the movie? Did it meet your expectations for it? Did your friend who went into this blind now interested in fnaf? Have you tried explaining the lore to him? I would like to know your thoughts! Have a nice day/night!
- 🐧 anon
i had a great time watching it!! i didn't really notice the plot holes until i thought about it afterward, it was a brilliant romp and i think that's just what the fnaf movie needed to be
i was surprised that the emotional beats of mike's plot hit as well as they did, actually! i think bc the games aren't as much of a personal story, it's quite new to see this sort of things directly from a character's perspective. i think hutcherson's performance really made it tbh, mike's story would not have worked if not for his perpetual stressed sogginess
the cupcake was KILLING me this whole movie. why are you so mad!! that shot where it's mauling the dude's face off and chica just turns around and smiles at the other guy like ">:) i'm gonna get ya" was so funny
honestly my main complaint is just that i would've liked to see the animatronics go insane mode more... the pillow fort scene and Everything about bonnie was the cutest thing i've ever seen but also those kids deserve to go feral (though i have to say the cupcake being the one to trigger the springlocks was a masterstroke and so so funny)
we were all absolutely floored by max getting straight up BISECTED. shout out to jo for immediately hollering "WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87" (also she was the only one who caught the ella reference with the suit they were going to stuff abby into)
title sequence was incredible... loved the homage to the terrible pixel art in the games (music was also a absolute banger). OH YEAH when matpat showed up we all went silent out of shock except for james (the one who didn't know fnaf before) who went "ooh hello sailor-" and was promptly drowned out by me yelling "MATTHEW????? (satan and levi would be absolutely rioting over that scene)
in terms of theories... i'm not caught up on the popular ones but i do like the idea that mike is swapped over to being an emily (with vanessa sort of taking a similar role to the original mike afton) also james (did half a nursing degree) was hollering at vanessa immediately going near-death mode from what he said was a stab wound of the "inconsequential in the grand scheme of things" degree
i said something after the movie about how "oh it's such a shame markiplier couldn't do the film, he would've done a great job as the guy getting killed at the start" ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT APPARENTLY THAT WAS HIS INTENDED ROLE i'm psychic (what was with the spinning razor freddy mask though?? is william doing that?? is he sending people to the pizzeria to stick his spinny razor masks on them??)
i was drinking my tea when matthew lillard said The Line and could not participate in the revelry afterwards because i choked and started coughing for about two minutes straight.. kind of ruined the dramatic tension but someone had already started cackling at abby's drawing so really i'm not to blame
though the way they use kids' drawings within the narrative is genuinely great, and the twist with how they turn the animatronics against afton is super clever! i am also a firm believer in the fact that afton drew that original one himself and he's just SO bad at art
all in all!! really liked it! the cast's performances was great, the references were excellent, the inexplicable balloon boy jumpscares were perfect, and i WISH i could hug the animatronics so bad

I'm watching fnaf through perfectly legal means, and I kinda want to liveblog it, but I also don't want to have to put a spoiler warning while doing it, so I'm just gonna talk under a readmore and put the whole thing in a single post
This is probably be the first blood already. I wonder if that's phone guy
Is it too early for someone to say it's bite of 87ing time and bite of 87 all over the place?
I wonder if they got actual children to draw the children's drawings
Holy shit an opening credits scene I haven't seen one of those since I took my dad to watch James Bond no time to die
Ooh that guy was reading a book on game theory I wonder if that's an easter egg to nod at MattPat
Oh that's Mike!
My mistake it's a book on Dream Theory. I think that was an easter egg too though, there was a theory that fnaf 4 was just a nightmare for a while
Well someone is in trouble
Ok the game Michael chased the job on purpose to hunt find his brother's soul, so this is already a pretty big departure from the source
I wonder if that Abby is gonna end up becoming puppet. It would be tragic, but better than the crying child
Is he trying to lucid dream?
Nope
I wonder if this Michael's dad is not gonna be the William Afton of the games
Wow this Jane is a massive bitch
Oh that Steve guy must be the new phone guy
Ngl I might have studied the games lore a little too intensely
Well that's omnious why was there a tape with his name on
Aw fuck the first jumpscare got me
No no no no get back to the room
This guy thinks he's Gregory to wander around and face the animatronics
There they are
Oh great it's still haunted haunted
Did that kid trip at the same time he did? Does this mean anything?
Matthew Patrick!!!!
HE SAID IT!
Oh what a traitor
Poor Doug free him he's trying very very hard to not do anything
Dude wake up you need to witness this
Oh the it's me in the mirror. And Foxy or whatever
Vanessa? What the heck is she doing here? Well as long as she stays away from bunnies ot should be fine
Vanessa tgat is not what you had just said but I'll forgive it because we're finally getting some animatronic action
Her lack of professionalism broke the animatronics. Freddy says if she's legally untouchable she's morally unfuckable
Wait if the place gets trashed out of his shift thats not his problem. Plus he had a witness of how things were when he left
Ok this deaths are pretty goofy but it's a pg13 movie so I guess they have to be
Chica and Bonnie were somehow so cunty when they looked at the camera after sending the cupcake like yas girlies
Wait I just remembered this is happening during the day. Are this animatronics opposite to the game? Peaceful at night and hostile during day?
Girl you went there to commit a crime don't follow the child
WhAs tHAt ThE BIte oF 87?!!!
Oh right Mike's family drama I almost forgot
Well at least it seems this Mike still likes cartoons
Is she... giving him a chance to speak? Maybe she's not as much of a cop as I thought
Oh so he was trying to repeat that dream
Maybe William was kidnapping kids to save the mom instead of the crying child (I forgot his name)
No do not take the child to the job you fool
Well the children are already possessing the animatronics so there must already be a Puppet
That fucking Baloon Boy again
No girl stop do not aproach animatronics
At least he understood it fast
Do not say that to a ghost you idiot
Awww this scene was cute.
Ooh the thick plotens
Abby is such a child "I've been talking with ghosts all this time, can I have some soup?"
Vanessa acts like she has genre awareness and she's trying really hard to keep it lighthearted
Shit don't tell me that's Circus Baby we do not need her in this story
Vanessa did it ever occur to you that people might do what you want if you just tell them whats going on
Idk who that pharmaceus farmastist doofrsmith doctor degree was but I'm pretty sure it was a cameo
You can't really say "they're gone" to a bunch of ghosts
Wow the ghosts are also a bunch of assholes
Did Abby stay in her room all day? She must be starving.
Oh no... look back Jane... oh well
Dude don't take an unnacompained child
Vanessa what are you doing here. This ain't cute anymore
Oh!
Dude stop rizzing up the exposition dump go do something
I wonder if we'll get beakless Chica. Just once. Just for me
No do not go in the ball pit it's not worth it
Springtrap!
Holy shit he's still alive inside the costume?
🥳officer down🥳
Oh this is a nice slow and painful death
I wonder if in the end we're gonna find out that Garret is Puppet. Unless that suit they tried to put Abby in was Puppet

So, I’ve seen a lot of discourse around the Fnaf movie and I thought I’d give my own thoughts on the movie and talk about a few things.
//Spoilers for the Fnaf movie!! If you haven’t seen it and don’t want spoilers, please avoid this!! (And maybe come back later if you have)//
I went to go see the movie on the 25th, the first night it came out and I enjoyed it. 6/10. I liked a lot of things in the movie. William Afton, Spring Bonnie, the animatronics, the costumes, the set, the designs, and the music. That was all incredible. Some of the scenes were amazing and I loved them so much. To name a few: Spring Bonnies scene and Williams reveal, just the animatronics scenes, the 8 bit digital intro, the spring lock scene.
But I was feeling a little bummed about the change in lore and there was some of the aspects of the movie that I wasn’t sure about and whether I liked them or not. I liked the movie but I didn’t think it was groundbreaking or amazing. I wasn’t sure I loved it.
But I had time to mull it over and decided that I was wrong. I realised the reason why I hadn’t liked the movie so much was because I was so stuck on the lore change and wanting the movie to be exactly the same as the game. I had gone to see the movie with that expectation and no wonder I felt bummed, because that’s what I was focused on. That’s where I went wrong.
So I decided to out those thoughts out of the way. Now I knew how the movie was going to go and that it didn’t follow the lore so closely, I decided to try and welcome the new changes.
With this in mind, I decided to watch it again and my opinion did change. Before I had just liked it. This time I loved it! A 9/10, amazing! The jumps scares and scare factor still didn’t scare me, but I don’t care, because to me, Fnaf was only ever scary when I was a kid, now I realise that I don’t get scared easily by things like that anymore, so I wasn’t expecting to be scared this time around. And I don’t mind the lack of real gore, because Fnaf was never really all that gorey anyway, so I don’t know why people were expecting it.
The lore changes, I actually began to like. Because I realised that in the first game anyway, what the first movie was mostly about with some aspects of the others, the game never stated a link between Michael Schmidt and Michael Afton, that came later and I think that’s what people forget about. Even if it doesn’t turn out that Williams is Mikes dad, I don’t think it really makes much of a difference except for the familial aspect.
The use of Abbie was great, I liked her.
Things that I wasn’t so sure about in the movie the first time around, I actually like now.
I wasn’t very fond of Vanessa at first and her use, the first time around, but I like her more and I like that William is now her dad. Vanessa is a great addition to the cast and new lore and it gives her a motivation if a security breach movie is ever made, that her father messed her up so much that she ended up just like him in the end.
The somewhat wholesome fort scene. I know that’s causing a lot of hate towards the movie, because people believe that the animatronics need to be scary and that’s that. But people forget that the animatronics are haunted by kids. Literal children! Thinking that way makes the scene more bittersweet in a way and a little eerie and sad, than just wholesome. I also love how they keep bringing up that fact that they are kids throughout the movie. That after each death and murder from then, you are reminded that these are just kids, which actually adds to the scary factor of the deaths because they are done by actual kids! It also makes them sad and heartbreaking because William had messed them up so much that this is what’s normal for them.
The repeated dream scenes were a little annoying at first, but now I get it. It showcases the desperation of Mike to find out what happened. That each time, he’s desperate to find out who took his brother, to change what happened. It’s shows just how messed up Mike was from loosing Garrett.
Now another scenes I’ve seen that had caused a lot of dislike, is the final nail in the coffin for William, the picture scene. At first I kind of thought it was a cop out, a cheap and easy idea. But combined with my thinking and seeing the movie again, I think it was actually done in the best way. Many times in the movie, it is stated that children communicate through pictures (I’m not sure why people keep saying it came out of nowhere, because it’s literally said about 3 times!) and to bring it up yet again! The animatronics are kids! The way the picture of Spring Bonnie and the kids holding hands is ripped off the wall and replaced by Abbies picture of Spring Bonnie killing the kid’s, the way the animatronics remember their deaths and how it was William that killed them is actually an amazing scene and I really really like it (the echoed screams of the children are actually chilling). In this scene it’s not just Mike isn’t just finding out the truth about what happens to his brother, the kids are too.
I think what holds a lot of people back from liking the movie is because they are so stuck on the complete original lore and the changes that have been made. You’ve just got to let that go and welcome the changes, because there was never any promises that the movie was going to be the same as the game and the first game had been out for more than a decade, so of course Scott probably had some thoughts and wanted to change some things. It’s like looking back at an old drawing you’ve made and think of all the things you could have done differently. And the confirmation of having a movie was so long ago, that people will have had secure expectations for the movie and opinions of how they’d imagined it to be and how they wanted it to go. And none of the movie adaptations of games that I’ve seen, ever are exactly like the games. Sonic wasn’t. Mario wasn’t. Detective Pikachu wasn’t. And that’s completely okay, because they don’t have to be and just because they aren’t, doesn’t make the movies bad.
I love both Sonic movies and am so excited for the third. I love the Mario movie. I love Detective Pikachu. And now I love the Fnaf movie. All because of their changes and the mixture of the original lore.
I’m not saying you have to like the Fnaf movie. You can have your own opinions. But if the changes from the lore is what’s holding you back from liking it. Don’t let it. Because you are just holding yourself back from something you’d might actually come to like. Accept the changes and give it another try and you may find that you like that more than you’d thought.
So yeah, that’s my very long review/rant/ whatever this is (it’s literally over a thousand words, jeez. Guess that’s what I get for being a fanfic writer). It’s probably somewhat messy as it’s just a word vomit, straight from my mind to the here.
I hope this can maybe change some of your minds about the movie. If not, that’s okay too.
I am excited for the next one as I hear that it’s already been confirmed as they’ve made enough money from the first to continue. And I might watch the movie a third time before it leaves the cinemas ;)

JUST FISNISHE DWTACHING FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS FILM AT CINEMA. BOY
IM SO GIDDY
SPOILERS OF COURSE!!!
IM so glad [atleast in my country] its classified as thriller it does wonders because its just clearly not horror. Its like Goofy 80s horror film and I love it. It still got some mystery [well to people who already know the game snot that much but theres still some sliver of it]. Idk i cant classify it as any genre
BUT FUCK IT I HAD FUN!!!! THATS WHAT I HOPED FOR!!!
The beggining and end were the best, middle atill was okay for me still fun :] I didnt expect Cute moments with the animatronics it was so goofy and I dig it <4
And!!! Im glad that vanessa wasnt just the love interest! I dont think it even was implied that either mike or vannessa fell in love with eachother actually. Hell for me, who knows most of the fnaf story, she was most of the mystery! Sure her plot was predictable but I think it DID make sense in the movie so its really enough for me. Tho she really has a lot going on and it would have been nice to see more of her past! Or to see that in the future?
Also its so funny to me how the plot with jane ended with her just getting fucking killed lmao
AND IM SO SO GLAD WILLIAM DYING IN SPRINGLOCKS HAPPENED. I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE IT. SURE IT WASNT WOAH SO GORY BUT IT WAS THERE AND THE PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD IMO!
also hehe william really didnt give a fuck about anyone I dig that actually
Also all the references/easter eggs were fun!!
Also lmao when I realized that waiter guy was matpat. I whezeed.hes here
Love how our hate for baloon boy got acknowledged as a gag
AND WHEN THE CREDITS ROLLED. THEY PLAYED THE FIRST FNAF FAN SONG. BOY SO MANY OF US IN THE CINEMA CHEERED
To conclude: as a fnaf fan I had fun!!! Really I think my expectations have been met I didnt expect a stellar film and yeah its no that but I had fun!!
Objectively? Yeah of course its not a great thriller. Average I would say. The plot is still holding together but no tense atmosphere is really there. Characters were fun, not woah complex but fun and acting was neat! I quite enjoyed the soundtrack of this film :] a lot of 'emotional' moments didnt hit it for me but hey im still glad mike and Abby are happy
Honestly I just think there isnt exactly a good film genre for this film? Maybe im just not knowledgable enough? But it doesnt feel right to say its thriller. And its also not right to say its comedy for me
Its just. A fun movie. Nothing stellar but fun and I wasnt bored!
Okay no this si not gonna be exactly related to the movie but
IM FUCKING SERIOUS WHEN I SAY I FUCKING LOST FEEL IN MY FINGER NERVES AFTER CLAPPING AT THE SPRINGLOCKS SCENE WHEN WILLIAM AFTON SAID HIS FUCKING THING. EVERYONE WAS CLAPPING AND CHEERING AT THAT POINT TOO I THINK
Just in general love how we all in that cinema at some points had the same reactions dhdhds
Everytime afton showed up I was laughing in mischief
It was awesome to watch it on a premiere day :]

GUESS WHO JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE FNAF MOVIE WITH FRIENDS. ME MFS. I made sure to set my bar very low to not get dissapointed and im sure that helped but it was genuinely good. A solid 8.8/10. LEMME BULLET POINT SOME THOUGHTS (absolutely no order to them). Spoilers below the cut.
i LOVE how they kept mikes last name hidden to keep us wondering is the s was a red herring or not
the whole internal conflict with mac aidyryyfuejd
also the aunt deserved to die she can go fuck herself
the repeated dream sequence RAH
WHEN VANESSA = ELIZABETH WAS REVEALED. WHAT DID I SAY. I WAS RIGHT. (everybody was freaking out)
i wish the springlock scene was as bloody and agressive as in the game but it was fine
the whole theatre freaked out when matpat and cory popped up. BUT THATS JUST A THEORY.
baloon boy was still annoying as FUCK in the movie. was not expecting to see that lil shit
ngl the whole friendship thing worked out pretty well ish
VANESSA IS SO FINE
the scene where they built the fort though was giving TOGETHER WE ARE FNAF. but no yeah it rlly showed how their still just kids.
as soon as the credits started the whole theatre started clapping. VERY AGRESSIVELY (my group may have started it bcs the living tombstone fanatic among us heard the sone)
my group freaked out when we saw 6:00 am at the start
when the springtrap suit came into view we were all like naaah
then he said the line and like- the entire theatre was like HOLY SHIT
i need to get my theorist brain wracking at this
also why was the first security gaurd so memeable
like he got me laughing
also the fact its like foxy has some personal ass grudge being the one always attacking is how it felt when you play the game
i wish we had phone guy :(
and mike afton cause i need my decaying boy
its not perfect but in general im happy
theres a lot of serious topics dealt in it too so thats nice
im so curious on this code eveyone is talking abt cause i left the theatre before that
anw we got it gang. after SO MANY YEARS

Man, i am falling in love with your Vanessa desing the more i see it😭🤚
But honestly, just saw the post talking about your au and Gregory in general, plus the tags to it. When i first read the part of Vanessa being Jeremy's niece a while back i honestly loved that
On one of my own aus, i make so that Vanessa has that type of uncle and niece relationship cuz tbh, i totally see it and i love it (wont say which one bc i know some folks who follow me sees your posts and i aint giving spoilers to any of them)
And seeing someone actually do it makes me...sorta happy tbh. And the reason for her to even be involved in all of this, makes me even more interested :>
And i really like the cyborg idea for Gregory, it feels like an in-between option for the war of "he's a robot! No he's a human!" I like it XD
Plus, i feel like at this point in time it would be a thing, especially with how the animatronics feel so advanced ya know? Not too far ahead from the current future, but not to close either, it's fun and makes sense
I do wonder how it'll go from here tho, especially in whether you will choose between one of the endings from the game with your own spin, or make a completely new one. All in all, I'd love to see more of it!
I'm a sucker for found family coming together from trying to find the mystery of their past/lost family. It has a nice bittersweet tone to it, and it seems to lead that way here (ofc if it isn't, i'll still enjoy the au bc the idea itself is really cool)
Oh and i saw the part of Elisabeth, love it, its nice ro have more of her bc your Elizabeth has become my all time favourite😭💞💞.
And I love all the afton siblings tbh, and Michael and Evan have been my favourite sibling duo, but you somehow made me love Lizzy and Mike so much more-
Anyways, i kinda rambled here- i just really liked the au and wanted to share my thoughts 😅
AHHH THANK YOUUU!!
As for my Help Wanted and Security Breach au, its actually a continuation of my fnaf au in general.
After Michael's suicide with Henry and the burning of the Pizzeria, Jeremy leaves as a broken man now in the possession of Glamrock Freddy and the Glamrock blueprints Michael left behind. The trauma and the survivor's guilt has made him barely the person he used to be, and he sells the Glamrocks to a man. He doesn't want anything to do with them. Cut to Vanessa though, and he loves her very much, she brings light to his life once again and all seems to be well.
He's approached by Fazbears entertainment years later. They tell him, that as a survivor of those events, they want him to test their "educational" game (Help Wanted). Ignoring the fact that the game is a complete mockery of what he's been through, he focuses more on the anomaly he spots.
He disappears not long after and this is when Vanessa comes in. The officers put his investigation on hold and Vanessa take matter in her own hands. She finds out about the game, collects the tapes, gets possessed by Malhare etc...
This is where the au falls apart a bit because anything after that moment is just little snippets of lore and scenes.
Malhare's role is very important though. To the whole thing.
Malhare isn't William. He's this projection of Will, born out of spite and that's meant to store his memories. His only purpose is to help resurrect Burntrap (aka the actual William) which he will then perish if successful. He's not supposed to be sentient, or make his own choices. He can only calculate outcomes and steer the person or thing he's possessing into doing things that will be beneficial for his goal. Malhare, just like any virus, spreads. There's no one version of him. However Vanessa's version of Malhare somehow manages to become sentient. Sentient enough that he realizes that he will die if he succeeds in his mission. Sentient enough that he has emotions. And sentient enough that he can make his own decisions. So when the time comes and Gregory enters the bottom of the Pizzaplex, he has a change of heart because in typically William or William adjacent fashion, he's scared of death. So he saves Gregory from the other versions of Malhare and corrupted systems that roam the Pizzaplex.
Now I should also preface that Vanessa and Malhare share their body, but anytime Malhare takes front, her eyes glow purple and she develops incredible agility and more physical strength (this is Vanny). Malhare can't front for long though.
Anyways, Vanny saves Gregory and they flee the Pizzaplex with Glamrock Freddy. They go to Luis' apartment for shelter for the day and Vanessa finally opens up about her situation. Now Vanessa is a wanted woman with a bounty on her hear, Malhare is cast away from his own kind, Luis can't return bc he helped Vanessa, everybody is after Gregory and Freddy is tagging along to protect Gregory.
Next step is to find Jeremy.
