I just found out that Vanessa had loose hair in the book.

I had to draw this.

My favorite thing is how the fnaf movie novel exposed Mike’s big ol’ crush on Vanessa. He really said I have no idea what she’s talking about but she’s so pretty and she smells like apples. :)

Honestly? I'm not surprised the FNAF movie is delayed.

They're DEFINETLY struggling to come up with a plot for the next movie. They planned to make three movies if the first went well, but they didn't really leave themselves much room for a sequel.

What do I mean by that? Well...

• The driving conflict of the first movie, that got Mike to work at Freddy's in the first place, was the custody battle with aunt Jane. But they fucking killed her off. (In the movie, it seems like it's possible she still may be alive, but in the book it's pretty much confirmed she's dead.) Abby sees her "lying in a puddle of ketchup" or something when golden freddy comes to get her. And I have a direct quote from Mike.

"You know," he said, "I think my aunt has finally decided to move on." I mean... she kind of did, Mike thought. (Pg 317)

• Oh, and also in the book, it's said Mike gets a nice new job as a contractor after the events at Freddy's, so it's not like they can pull the "Mike can't find a job so he HAS to work at another Freddy's location!" thing again.

• AND, they resolved his storyline with Garrett. He's found the killer, and watched him die. (Even if we know he's not dead). Mike realized Abby is much more important than his dead brother and he no longer torments himself with thoughts of Garrett... so I don't think he'd go poking around in another Freddy's location to "figure out what happened". He knows what happened. And he's finally over it.

• It seems like they TRIED to give themselves something to work with in the end credits. You know, the "C O M E F I N D M E". But honestly? It's not all that helpful. There's no clear way to tell who it's addressed to or who it's from. Everyone seems to agree it's Garrett speaking to Mike as the puppett, but honestly? That doesn't make sense to me.

• I've already explained that I don't think Mike is interested in learning more about his brother's death. He knows who killed him, and watched that man die. Mike is as "at peace" as he's ever going to get. Besides, I don't think Garrett is the puppett!! At all!!

• In the movie, Mike says he feels closer to Garrett at Freddy's. I think that means his soul is LITERALLY there, in THAT Freddy's location. Why else would he say that? Just because there are ghosts there killed by the same man? Also, in the novel, Mike literally sees Garrett's ghost in the pizzeria and it leads him to Springtrap. Finally, the "It's me" messages that keep appearing near Mike. Who else would be writing that shit? It's not just a little Easter egg for the audience. It has to be someone Mike knows. Garrett. (Also I think there's a strong argument to be made that Garrett is co-posessing Golden Freddy with the little blonde boy)

• SO THEN, WHO IS SAYING "COME FIND ME," AND WHO ARE THEY TALKING TO?

Honestly? No clue. But I think there are a few interesting directions they could take things.

1) From Mike's dad, to Mike.

In the movie they sort of imply Mike's dad offed himself, but in the book they reveal he just walked out on them. So he's still out there somewhere, and they could totally reveal he had some kind of connection to Freddy's and William, and it would explain why William drove all the way to goddamn Nebraska to kidnap some random ass kid.

2) From springtrap, to some unfortunate soul dumb enough to set him free

In the games, he was locked away in a bricked off room for like 30 years before being set free, but I don't think these movies are going to have that big of a time skip. Probably a year at most. So I could see the next movie starting with some idiot freeing springtrap.

3) Okay yeah I cant think of anything else.

And I know I'm not a professional screenplay writer but those bitches are anxiously struggling too!! In every interview where Josh Hutcherson (Mike) has been asked about a sequel, he says they're still trying to figure out the story. No shit!! They didn't give themselves anything to work with.

• So basically, Mike has absolutely no reason to go back to another Freddy's location, and the little secret message at the end is almost too vague to be useful.

So, what DID they leave themselves to work with in the next movie? What plot points remain unresolved?

• For one thing, they didn't even give William a fucking motive for killing kids. Or for luring security guards to their deaths. This version of him seems to have a much better understanding of remnant and possession that his game counterpart, but there's no reason given for that either. In the game, he does it all for his dead son. He wants to "fix" him. But they didn't set up any hints to that in the first movie. Mike talked to Vanessa about HIS dead brother, so I feel like if the whole "dead son" thing was the case, she would have mentioned she lost a sibling too.

• Or maybe William would have brought it up at the end when he was getting mad at Vanessa. The "mess YOU created!!" scene. He probably would have said something like, "You know why we have to do this, Vanessa." But he didn't. There's literally no known motive, and it'll be kind of hard to set one up without any breadcrumbs left in the previous movie.

• Mike was TOTALLY falling for Vanessa in the books. Yeah, I know, a lot of people feel FNAF isn't a place for romance, and SCHMELLY isn't a very popular ship... but that doesn't change the face he almost kissed her in the novel. (Also in the book she threw his EMPTY PILL BOTTLE into the river, didn't actually toss bro's meds! So she's a little more likeable!)

"Vanessa and Mike grinned at each other, and Mike felt something zing inside of him. It was a palpable 'wow' feeling that was much more intense than his casual appreciation of her beauty. And the zing felt like it was going both ways. The look Vanessa was giving Mike was one he hadn't ever seen before... not directed at him anyway. Her reciprocation of his feelings was so strong that he felt himself leaning toward her." (pg 186)

(They didn't kiss though, Vanessa blushed and looked away and changed the subject.) Still... now they have to address their little romantic subplot in the next movie as well.

• Vanessa. Just as a character. There's a lot to work with there. Personally, I think it would be interesting to use her coma to tell a story. You know, have her flashback to there's childhood with William and at Freddy's. (Honestly if they don't do that they're dumb and missing a huge opportunity. Why else put her in the goddamn coma?)

• Also, in the novel, they heavily implied she's... a robot? Apparently, her eyes drastically change color and Mike notes she flips from "girl mode" to "cop mode" on a dime. In the movie she just looked bipolar.

"Yeah Abby, let's use the tables for the fort! 😄"

"Mike if you bring her here again I will SHOOT YOU. 🤬"

• But yeah apparently she's a robot. A robot so convincing that even hospital nurses and doctors can't tell. With no explanation for how William could have built that. Or why there's a photo of her and William where she's clearly a child. Did he build a child robot that grew up into an adult woman robot? Or did he build two robots? Or did child Vanessa die and he replaced her with a robot? Who knows!

"Mike watched, mesmerized, as Vanessa's irises deepened noticeably in hue. They went from their usual soft, almost greyish-blue to a deeper indigo. The shift was so pronounced it almost looked computer-generated. It was also enormously disquieting. Mike felt like he was watching a human turn into..." (pg 184)

• So for the next move, Mike has no motive to go visit Freddy's, William has no motive in general, and Vanessa is a robot. The script practically writes itself, am I right??

And then there's the way Scott Cawthon likes to incorporate fan feedback into all of his projects.

(Ex: People complained FNAF 3 wasn't scary, so he made FNAF 4 horrifying)

• I have no doubt he's going to incorporate the fanbase's favorite characters into the next movie. (Ness, Doug, Maxine, Jeremy) Which honestly just complicates the plot further, adding more stipulations to the script.

• Bringing Ness back would be easy? Mike and Abby could have a scene in the diner, I guess, but it's also sort of unnecessary, and I'm not sure MatPat would agree to another cameo. He's retired.

• Bringing Doug back would be more complicated. He's aunt Jane's lawyer... but they fuckin' killed her off. So. Doug is not needed.

• Jeremy could come back? Maybe? He's really a background character... It's not stated whether or not Mike was friends with him outside work, or kept in touch with him after being fired.

• Maxine is a lot more complicated. The actress who plays her, Kathryn Sterling, said herself that she was originally supposed to have a bigger role in the film but it got trimmed down. And THEN there's the way she was stuffed into a purple Freddy suit, which a lot of fans theorize is supposed to be Shadow Freddy. On her TikTok, she basically confirms this, hinting to her character coming back in the next movie and being more important.

So in the next movie...

1) Mike has to somehow have to end up tangled back into Freddy Fazbullshit even though he has NO desire to... (Remember the way he looked at Abby when she asked if they could visit them??)

2) They have to reveal or at least hint towards Vanessa being a robot

3) Mike & Vanessa romance subplot??

4) William needs a fucking motive for killing people

5) The audience needs to be able to tell who "come find me" was said by AND who it was directed towards

6) Bonus points if they can cram in more youtuber cameos & beloved characters from the last movie like Jeremy and Doug

--------------------------------------------------

So yeah. It's a lot to consider when writing. And the clock is ticking, because kids, especially little kids like Garrett's actor, grow up FAST. And ghost kids aren't supposed to grow up. Ghost kids are supposed to be dead.

I do want to say though, that despite the plot holes, I LOVE the FNAF movie. I've watched it 20+ times. It's genuinely one of my comfort movies. I'm excited for the next movie, but I'm also sort of expecting it to be late 2025 before we get to see it.

Scott is notoriously picky. He turned down, like, 8 scripts for the first movie before settling on the Mike storyline. I don't mind waiting, especially considering how difficult this next movie is gonna be to write. Also if you read this whole rant?? Damn?? Kiss me on the mouth rn.

So apparently Mike and Vanessa might be canon in the FNaF movie novel, and if you’re happy about it then yay this is such a good day for you, but personally, I am devastated.

Parallels I noticed between Elizabeth and the Golden Freddy kid in the FNAF movie (plus my own ideas and interpretations):

- Coerces someone into trusting them and then trying to kill them (GF taking Abby to get turned into an animatronic and Baby scooping Michael to wear his skin)

- Both GF and Baby coerce people based on incorrect information (Baby thinks Michael is William and GF thinks Abby is becoming part of their “family” because of William controlling the kids, or I have another idea that GF might be trying to bring Abby back to the pizzeria so she can break William’s hold on the kids but I’ll elaborate on that some other time)

- Kills/attacks the main character’s aunt and leaves her on the floor (whether or not Aunt Jane is dead we don’t know for sure) like Baby does in The Fourth Closet with Aunt Jen (plus the Aunt Jane/Aunt Jen thing)

- Assuming that GF is William’s son and Vanessa’s brother, this would be a reverse of Sister Location. In the games, it’s the son who survives to adulthood and has to do his father’s bidding, while the daughter had been killed as a child and stuck in an animatronic. In the movie, the daughter survives and the son dies and becomes the leading spirit.

- Both Elizabeth and GF seems to have more authority over the other animatronics, both being the ones who really speak to the main characters directly.

- It’s possible that GF mistook Abby for Vanessa, seeing as her outfit on the first night she was there she wore the same pink top and blue pants combination that Vanessa wore in the photo with her father, which could parallel how Baby mistook Michael for William

Bonus Thoughts: I have a theory/hypothesis that the GF kid might actually be Michael, or this universe’s stand in for him. Instead of it being the idea that the Aftons and the Emilys switched kids, what if instead the kids in each family switched roles, like the brother (Garrett) being killed and turned into the Puppet instead of the sister (Charlie) like in the games (plus Mike being like the older brother who feels guilty for his brother’s death, and the novel said in chapter 1 that he felt like he was the problem in the family even before Garrett went missing, and then being related to Henry would be great). It would make a neat spin on things to see Vanessa as this world’s Elizabeth and her trying to free her brother, just like Michael did for his sister in the games. Whether a horrible fate will befall her like Michael had I don’t know we’ll just have to see for ourselves when the next movie comes out.

!! HEAR ME OUT ON WILLIAM W A CURLY HAIR READER !!

– William Afton headcanons featuring a curly haired reader

🧣:: Reader has no gender, so it can be read as a m!m, m!f, m!nb fanfiction! <3

– William is obsessed with your hair, he has never been this close to someone with your curvature before.

– It wasn't very common for him to see people with curly hair in the UK, and neither in Utah, so seeing your hair was an awakening for him.

– He doesn't know anything about curly hair, but he's willing to listen to you talk about how you style your hair

– He doesn't know how to stroke your hair, so you'll have to teach him.

– Once William knows how to stroke it properly, he will do it as often as possible, he loves your hair

– He likes to twirl your curls around his fingers

– He's obsessed with the thought of your future children having the same hair as yours

– He likes to do your hair, he's a little afraid of hurting you, as his calloused hands are too heavy for this type of task, but he tries his best to be gentle

– He really doesn't like it when strangers touch your hair.

– If you think about having braids, dreads or something like that, William would be super supportive, even though he doesn't understand anything about it. After all, he likes to see you happy.

i think my favorite novel addition has to be that the actual reason the ceiling just starts to collapse at the end is because his ass was screaming so damn loud💀

#absolutely incredible. true power /j #also i learned the word 'yowl' today :) #like at first i thought it's misspelled 'howl' but no this is a word. #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf movie #fnaf movie novel #william afton #steve raglan #this is kind of unintentional comedy gold but also. the fact that he canonically DOES have a breaking point- #-where he just starts yelling nonstop is gonna be useful for my whump fic😊

[sotogalmo]

(Let me preface this with I’m only on chapter 8 of the book but-)

The novelization seems to imply that Mike put Abby into the Development Center after their mom died and he wishes that something like that was available for him when he was 12

*head in hands*

Flipped through the fnaf movie novel and saw this quote

Gotta love that sass, you can just feel it radiating off the page

#fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf movie #fnaf movie novel

[schmidtsbf]

related to this post, there’s a lot of things they leave out in the books that are in the movies.

Mike looked up from the glass, and he saw his mom set down the milk carton and sit across from him. She smiled at him and lifted both arms to join hands with Garret and Mike's dad. At the same time, Garret and Mike's dad took Mike's hands. Joined, the family bowed their heads.

Mike blinked, and he was back in the present. Mike reached for Abby's hand, and she took it. Sharing a brief smile, they bowed their heads and closed their eyes. Abby spoke. "Thanks for this food... and everything else. Amen."

chapter 25 (pg. 322)

I was only scrolling through through the page because I accidentally opened to it (I’m still in chapter 6 lmao) but reading it made me have an emotional BREAKDOWN.

Mike had also described in the movie, the scene where he’s outside his house talking with Vanessa about that ‘perfect family moment’.

In that part in the page, Mike is remembering when he had a family. A happy one before it was broken apart by tragedy and loss. How after years of struggling, after the Freddy’s incident, he gets the chance to be happy again, to reenact, relive this moment in present time with Abby, one of the few, if not only, reason(s) he’s still up and going. He can experience joy with a family member like he before with his other family members, before being practically alone to suffer and stress.
