im just thinking what if mike schmidt is the son of the movie's equivalent of henry emily. i had this thought on the way home from the movie at like. 10 pm so at the time it was incoherrent, but im going to expand on it here.
point 1- garrett played a similar role to charlie emily, in that despite being watched over they were both killed by william afton.
p2- in the flashbacks, its very obvious that the entire family is in a place away from society. they're literally in a forest. it wouldn't make sense for william of all people to be there if he wasn't close to the family.
p3- the books and the game mirror eachother, so there is a chance that schmidt could be another fake name, one william recognized because, again, he was a family friend.
p4-what happens when your kid goes missing? idk probaly witness protection or an urge to seperate yourself from the incident, both reasons for the name change.
p5-(kinds joke reason) abby rhymes with charlie and looks similar to her (brown hair, brown eyes)
p6-i argue that abby also took on the role of the puppet/charlie at the end of the movie. she didn't necessarily give them life, not like what was done in the game, she shoeed them how they died. she reminded the children of the life they had before, and of who really took it. by doing that, in a way, she gave them that life back. she gave them their real personality back, one not influenced by william. she cut them from his influence, she gave them the gift (the picture) and it gave them life (their memories)
p7- in the movie, mike says his father 'couldnt deal with it' and left after his mother died. yk what that sounds similar to? book henry emily killing himself in despair. maybe mike's dad is alive maybe he's dead, we dont know. but it is similar enough, an act of completely removing himself from the equation.
p8-book henry has a sister named jen, yk what name that sounds like? jane. who was mike and abby's aunt, and we dont know which parent she was related to.
p9-'but wouldn't mike know about the pizzaria if william was a family friend?' honestly, probably. but theres also a high chance that he wouldnt. if the family lived in nebraska, (which im pretty sure they did) they wouldn't have a need to go to utah, not even for a friend's restaurant. sure, he might know that his dad's friend had a restaurant, but not that it had animatronics or anything. the family probaly moved to utah after garrett's disappearance and after freddy's closed down.
p10-'wouldn't mike know vanessa? theyre similar in age' if they didnt live in the same state, probaly not. william in the movie was a, suprise suprise, shitty father, even foregoing the stabbing of his kid. i doubt hed care enough to take her with him on like. a short out of state trip.
p11(edit)- in the books aunt jane was killed by evil charlie to get to charlie, yk what that sounds like? the animatronics killing aunt jen to get to charlie
p12(edit)-the words at the end of the movie say 'come find me' and the music playong at the end is the puppets song so i think garrett is the puppet which is. again. an emily thing
p13(edit)- mikes dad looks like a mechanic shown in the training videos [cough henry emily cough]
if i think of anything else ill add it but anywys this is why i think the schmidts in the movie are the emilys equivalent. also check out the notes on this post because theres a lot of replies n reblogs that support my theory

My first thought when I heard that movie William kidnapped garret was “why the fuck was William camping” and the thought that anyone thought any differently never even came to me

Okay so fnaf movie au where William's not a child murderer, Freddy's is still open and Mike has a job working the dayshift
based on art by @aqualish007 (amazing art btw <3)
Basically it's 2000, Mike's taking care of his siblings (Garret, 14 and Abby, 10) and he's fallen on hard times financially. So one day he calls up a family friend, William Afton, to apply for a job at his pizzeria. Mike and his siblings have known William and his daughter, Vanessa, ever since a family camping trip they went on in Nebraska. William, of course, is enthusiastic that Mike's looking for work at his restaurant, and he's hired immediately.
The restaurant in question is named Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
Mike works a bunch of jobs on the dayshift, helping whenever needed. His main job is to work the showtime for the animatronics, though William insists that he also performs on occasion. Mike uses a yellow bear suit that matches William's yellow rabbit.
Most days, Vannessa babysits Mike's siblings while he works, but when Vannessa's busy at school getting her engineering degree, he brings the kids to work with him. Abby loves Freddy's. She sticks with her 'Uncle Will' throughout the day. Garret, however, stays away from the little kids and colorful animal robots, preferring to stick to the arcade. William gives him free tokens for each machine, so it works out.
(Still not sure what happened to Mike's parents but uhh)

FNAF Movie Spoilers-
Is Garret Ballon Boy?
Like Balloon is sentient with no apparent explanation- the animatronics are possessed by the ghosts of murdered children so what about this creepy figurine which is the first haunted thing Mike encounters?
Also the only haunted thing that didn’t attack him-
something that really stands out to me is the balloons and propeller hat- when we last saw Garret he was holding a prop plane toy.
