Fish in a Birdcage [Caleb Hyles] - Cover (Lyrics) - YouTube

This makes me think of CC and William (brainrot of them is thanks to @lets-ignore-that & @rongrii . I still I have that art in my head)

Making me think of like. Writing smth similar to this song, but with C.C and William ,,,,

I also learned smth from the comments of this video!!!

"Sirens used to be harpies, but they lost their wings and fell in the sea." –> and I related that to C.C somewhat being a good swimmer/his tears being the ocean("cry me a river"? More like "cry me an ocean"). And well. CC used to be a normal kid in a way

“Rabbit's kit”

Evan is stuck inside his room. It's light outside, but he's been locked inside his room again. He weeps again. ‘a normal morning...’ he thinks with grief. But he's not alone.

His good friend Fredbear is here!! So he's not alone, he can ask why but he never gets an answer. So maybe he can just talk about it to him? (I'm a fish inside a birdcage...)

He hears laughing against his door. Fredbear soon speaks up, but Evan doesn't know what he said.. (My brother always sings me songs)

Fredbear sighs, “What did he do this time?” his voice is gruff yet whimsical sounding? He sometimes sounds just like Father, though. “...He locked you in your room again.” He says as a matter-of-factly, no room for fighting or saying "yes" or "no"(Evan rarely lies though! He would never lie to Fredbear). “Don't be scared... I am here with you.” (With his beak, he tries to soothe me... He makes me feel that I belong.)

(He has a wild imagination..) Evan tries to blink his tears away, but they always keep on falling down his face. So he stops his useless way of protesting against his tears. Fredbear doesn't need to be lied to. And Evan can never lie when it's Fredbear. His best friend, the only person who believes in him. (And tells me things that may be true)

Evan only nods, Fredbear hums a silent "good". (Like there's a world where I can take flight!) “This will end, I'll make sure of that. And then? You can fly like the angel you were destined to be. You'll fly away from those frightful jaws of that demented fox.” Fredbear sounds so fatherly, so kind, so loving. Evan smiles, Fredbear always knows how to comfort him.

The end? He sounded mean, and angry. He always calls Mikey, a "demented fox". And over time, Evan starts to believe it. So Evan just nods again.. there's no way he'll lie to his best friend, or ever go against him. Fredbear is always right in the end. (Where I can freely move...)

He hears his door get knocked on. He jumps, while he goes to hug Fredbear. His doorknob twists and turns. “It's only me.” He mistakes that voice for Fredbear, so he smiles wide again and goes towards the man(while wiping his tears away, and when the door opens), to hug him.

The man allows him to hug him. Father is always kind to me. Father goes to pick me up (So carry me from these walls, Brother of mine. Show me the world, outside). Evan only smiles wider, and goes to hug his father's neck (It has to be true, I'm counting on you)

Father only chuckles. (to be my wings and my eyes)

Evan is outside his house now, “Go and play with the others. Come back at 2, son.” Father says with some affection. Evan only nods back, and says “yes father!”. He runs off to his his close circle of friends ‘oh, that's right...’ he thinks dejectedly, as he slows down to walk to a tree that always has a yellow bird on it's branches.

The yellow bird looks pretty. He wonders how he'll look if he was like Springbonnie, a rabbit. (As I breathe into our silence) Would he also be gold colored? With green eyes too? Or would he have blue eyes? And some reds and dark blues on his bowtie and hat? Or would he be more fished based? Like those sea monkeys he sees on the telly sometimes? (There's a voice that comforts me)

“...What do you want to talk about, angel?” Fredbear is speaking again! “oh!” Evan is just surprised, Fredbear chuckles. (It's a voice of understanding, it's the voice of empathy...) “..ummm... Just thinking of how it'll be like to be like Bonnie.. could I look just like him, or be something so different? Like those sea monkeys!” Evan tells Fredbear with a smile.

(Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips) Fredbear chuckles again. “.. You'll make for a great bunny, angel.” Evan lightly laughs. Fredbear always knows how to make me feel happy (We feel each rock so differently)

“You think so?” Evan asked giddy, he is genuinely curious. He wants to know why! “Because, you already are.” Fredbear answers, in his common cryptic way, but Evan doesn't mind. Evan sometimes understands what he tries to say, so he doesn't need to say more!

(You gave me more than I could ask for)

It's 2. He goes back to his house, hugging Fredbear close to his chest, Father is at the door. (Indistinguishability)

Evan hugs his Father again. Evan likes to hug people, especially his family. But Father let's him hug him, and Evan is okay with that. He loves his Father, anyways! (So carry me from these walls) Father lifts him up again, brings them back inside the house, and closes the door (Brother of mine, show me the world outside)

Evan is brought to the living room, Father turns on the telly, Evan hugs his plush much closer to his chest, while Father sets Evan down onto the couch. (It has to be true.)

Is his favorite movie being played? He looks up to Father with ‘puppy’-like eyes. Father only softly scoffs. A small smile shows itself on Father's face. Evan sways himself as he gets giddy for his favorite movie. (I'm counting on you. To be my wings and eyes) Evan smiles widely, and goes back to look at the telly.

(So carry me, from these walls. Brother of mine, show me the world outside)

Fredbear speaks again: “This is a safe place. This is a sanctuary.” He way of saying, “you're safe, angel.”

Evan's smile is still on his face but everything else is not the same. It also has no color. Is he being delusional? “...Father is always the best!” Evan says, as he sways himself again.

Cassidy has had enough.

“Evan. Stop.” Cassidy says angrily.

“...It has to be true...” Evan sings back.

(I'm counting on you)

Evan stops his swaying, his smile falters, as he moves his hands to his face. They are webbed, like he's a fish. He finds blood almost everywhere on his tiny body. His skin seems to shine, and it makes the dried blood look shiny.

He places his webbed hands on his chest, where he slightly feels fur? He feels fluffy. He doesn't understand it. But he likes it? He doesn't know.

(To be my wings and my eyes)

He just wishes it never ended like this. And that Father never became like the way he is...

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
