No but Blueycapsules volume one is such a good tone setter for the rest of the comic. Like the very first few parts are absurd and strange, but establishes SO MUCH before it really gets into the meat of the story. Spoilers for volume one if you haven't read it (which you SHOULD go read it what are you doing).

Part One (Meet The Family Guys) establishes the Afton family, establishes that William Afton is an absolutely HORRIBLE father (making his kids scoop out bread, the standing hour thing, the way he's treating them), that he killed Charlie, and that Liz has a strange shadow form that can kinda know the future.

Part Two (Charlie's Epic Wacky Funeral) establishes Vincent and Scott and their dynamics with William. It elaborates a bit on Liz's shadow form, briefly introduces Henry and Sammy, and establishes that Charlie's soul is in the Puppet. On top of all that, it gives William that line about strangulation being one of the worst ways to die, which hits way harder when you read it after Volume Three. Then Part Two Point Five (Welfare Visit King) establishes Henry further, as well as showing us his INCREDIBLY toxic relationship with William.

Up to this point, the comic has been pretty much the opposite of serious. It's been wacky absurd comedy. But Part Three (Now This Is Charlie 2.0) is where you start to realize that there's way more to this comic than first meets the eye. It establishes that Henry builds robots, it further reinforces William and Henry's dynamic, it's where CC, Michael, and Elizabeth's dynamics are really established, and most importantly, it establishes a LOT of stuff with Michael - Michael bullying CC, CC trying to tell Michael that William killed Charlie, Michael blowing up at him and being honestly pretty cruel.

Then Vincent calling William establishes more of Vincent's character (and kinda Scott's too if you squint), further establishes the twins' dynamic, establishes them having a kind of ahoge twin telepathy (blueycapsules is buckwild please read it), and establishes WHY William killed Charlie - because he saw her as dead weight. Purely selfish reasons.

The leadup to the party shows the events of FNAF 4 (minus the gameplay) really shows us more of CC and Michael's INCREDIBLY toxic dynamic. It shows us the extent of Michael's bullying and just how BAD he was, it shows us that the Fredbear plushie can talk to CC, it shows us just how scared CC is of the animatronics and William, and it establishes that the animatronics have consciousnesses before the missing children's incident happens. And it establishes all that in five pages, might I add.

A great thing about the leadup is that if you don't know all the lore (or at least stuff about FNAF 4), you're intrigued by this party that it's leading up to. But if you know about FNAF stuff, you just feel dread. You know what's coming.

Then comes part four. The party. This is really where Blueycapsules shows its true colors.

It starts off fairly silly, with Fredbear smoking weed and William Afton being William Afton, and it's honestly really funny. But then it shifts to CC, and the dread sets in again. Now Michael's got his friends, and they're helping to bully CC, being really fucking cruel. By this point, you know all you need to know, and yet the comic keeps establishing stuff. Specifically, Michael is desperate for his father's attention. After shoving CC into Fredbear's mouth, he takes off his mask and yells "FATHER! COME LOOK!" Like this comic just doesn't slow down oh my god

(One of my personal favorite panels from before the bite is CC crying on the ground, surrounded by the bullies, as the music blares in the background. It feels so... horrific.)

This is another example of it being great whether or not you know anything about FNAF. If you don't know anything about FNAF, you're somewhat on edge, and the tension is increasing with stuff like Elizabeth saying "You're gonna do something you regret" and CC being shoved in Fredbear's mouth.

But if you DO know the lore of FNAF, you just feel this dread. You've seen this cutscene before. You know what's about to happen.

And then it does.

The Bite Of 83 is where the reality of what this comic is fully hits you. It's bloody, it's horrific, it's heartbreaking, it's just incredible. That page where everyone rushing to help CC and the panels are going on and Michael is just standing there, not moving... It's just amazing.

And then CC officially dies, William tells Michael he's proud of him for committing child murder, it's dark and heartbreaking and it just fucking hurts.

And then it gets a bit more lighthearted with Elizabeth and Susie becoming friends, and it's sweet! It's adorable! But still, there's a dark undertone. You know Susie won't survive. You know this can't last. And that's a theme through a lot of the comic - it's a tragedy. You know how it all ends.

We get back to the Aftons, and it returns to angst. The guilt has hit Michael over everything, and he hates himself. And William thinks it doesn't matter. He thinks Michael's just being dramatic. It's fucking rage inducing, and does an incredible job at showing you what a fucking horrible person he is.

After that, it somewhat returns to comedy. Somewhat. The tone is still different - the angst is still there. Sure, there's hilarious moments like the incredible MacDonaldses panel, but that doesn't make it a super comedy comic like before. There's little details that would have been funny without the angst, but because we got the angst it just hurts. Hell, even gags from volume one hurt way way more with this recontextualization.

And from there, that's the tone of the comic. It's funny, there's still a lot of absurd comedy, there's sweet moments, there's heartwarming moments, there's hilarious moments. But compared to the beginning of Volume One, it's less funny and more sad. If you read Blueycapsules, you know what the rest of the comic is gonna be like - juggling absurd comedy, sweet moments, and an absolutely heartbreaking story. And it juggles it incredibly well.

And I just wanna say - all of that stuff established before the Bite? None of it was told to us. It was all just shown - the characters, the details, the dynamics, all of us was shown. And a lot of it was shown through jokes. And yet it still works so well.

Just. How is this comic so good man

Can we talk about how the iconic Mr. Lillard went out of his way to have the same cadence Scott Cawthon does as Phone Guy when he's pretending to be the counselor? The pauses and "uhhhh"s were so perfect like I immediately understood what he was going for. Amazing.

MICHAEL AFTON

FNAF belongs to Scott Cawthon and credited @chloesimaginationthings

[heart-of-the-morningstar]

I’m gonna write this down now so I can look like an absolute genius later (or look like a clown, but at least I said it with my full chest!)

❌ Spoilers for the FNAF Movie below! ❌

Ok, I might be huffing hopium here, but in my heart of hearts I STILL think Mike Schmidt is Mike Afton. If (or when) they make a sequel, there’s a way they can reveal this

So the most obvious thing from this movie is when Mike is in “Steve’s” office, and when “Steve” is reading Mike’s name out loud from his résumé, he stops mid-sentence. He looks at Mike for a weird amount of time, almost studying him, before completely changing the subject. There’s no way in hell “Steve” recognizes Mike from when he saw him as a kid when he kidnapped his brother Garrett 10+ ago, no chance. Also why would he go to Nebraska (unclear where the movie takes place, but let’s assume Utah because of the books) to kidnap a random kid and just drive off? Here’s what I think is going on…(also I’m gonna call him William from now on cuz we all know lol)

William fingered out that Mike is his son during that interview. My theory is that at some point, William was married and him and his wife have a son named Mike. And for one reason or another, they got divorced. This is when Mike was too young to really remember which is why he doesn’t recognize William during their meeting. Mike’s mom gains custody of Mike and remarries, she marries Mr. Schmidt. They have a child together, Garrett. Sometime after the divorce, William adopts a child, trying to cope after losing his only son. He adopts Vanessa.

William finds out about his ex-wife having another kid. He wants to cause her pain and suffering for leaving him. He follows the Schmidt’s and takes Garrett during the camping trip. Unable to handle the pain, Mike’s mom takes her own life, leaving Mike and his stepdad. Mr. Schmidt marries a little later to another woman, and she has a daughter named Abby. Sometime after this, both Mr. Schmidt and his new wife die, leaving Mike to care for Abby.

Vanessa owed William so much, he had adopted her while she had suffered in an orphanage for years. She would do anything he told her, even if it meant covering up his crimes. Years later, realizing what she was doing was wrong, she left her father and became a police officer, hoping to stop people like her father as she had failed to stop him.

Here’s another thing. Scott Cawthon knows that the fans are obsessed with the lore of FNAF. I think he knew he could make more movies, this isn’t going to be a one and done deal. Plus, he had his hand on this project every step of the way, he wouldn’t agree to anything that he didn’t want to happen in the story. Mike being William’s some is CRUCIAL to the story of FNAF (at least in the games). I think he’s trying to fake us out, you know how he loves to troll the fans!

Again, this is just a theory (A GAME THEORY lol), but I don’t think the idea of Mike being an Afton is dead just yet. Hoping and praying so I can look incredibly smart if or when the sequel drops 🙏🏻
