hobie brown telling us what he doesn’t believe in but showing us what he does believe in.
he doesn’t believe in labels, the government, calling himself a hero, consistency, the lot.
but he believes in miles. he believes in being able to chose your own path, in being an individual, in helping others. he believes in the personal idea of what is good rather than the big paintbrush of The Greater Good.
which is a fantastic way of characterizing him. because words still hold weight, but you need action to back it all up
I don’t think Dionysus was raised as a girl for his protection. I think he was raised as a girl because they didn’t know better. Then one day he told them all he was not a girl. All of the mad women of the mountains who raised and loved him and would be his first maenads rushed to hug him and kiss the crown of his head. Hermaphroditus told him how proud they were that he knew himself. Silenus lied and said he had seen this coming for some time. The world paused for a moment for him but it did not change around him. The creeks babbled and the birds sang and the gentle rains of Nysa beat down upon the trees. His girlhood was in the past tense very suddenly and his boyhood stretched out in front of him.
about two feet, Priapus inherited that from somewhere
so there’s a lot of speculation whether or not they’re gonna have mike be michael or not in the fnaf movie. and so far even i thought it was pretty unlikely considering the little things we’ve been shown. but now that the full trailers been revealed there’s something that caught my eye. and maybe i’m puling a matpat here and over analyzing one little frame but. just hear me out alright. so in the little snippet we see of a phone call between mike and william, it’s pretty normal and well, there’s nothing to show that they know each other. clearly mike doesn’t know who he’s talking to, he just wants a job.
and honestly for me i was losing hope that they were gonna have mike be revealed to be michael. since initially i thought this was just them confirming that he’s not since, surely if he was michael then he’d recognize his fathers voice? but. that might not be the case.
my theory/speculation for the route they’re going (again, emphasis on the theory i’m not saying this is 100% canon) is that it’s heavily implied there’s going to be SOME kind of flashback with mike as a young teenager, since a boy was cast and listed as “young mike” too. and this information about his character given back when casting for the roles were announced.
“riddled with guilt over a tragedy in his past” which only further strengthens the possibility of a flashback to the bite of 83 where michael pranked his brother and inadvertently caused his death. it’s the aftermath of this event with determines how this theory could work. either, william and his wife divorced shortly after, and his wife got custody of mike - they married into another family, the schmidt’s. this could lead to abby either being his step-sister or his half-sister.
OR. mike was taken away from william either because of the bite or because the police were heavily suspicious that william was responsible for the missing children. he was put into the system and adopted by - again - the schmidt’s. and the reason he doesn’t remember anything is because the trauma and the guilt from the bite of 83 and the death of his little brother caused him to heavily repress those memories and in turn, a lot of others (william) without realizing.
so mike doesn’t recognize william’s voice here. but william?
this is the frame that caught me here. his expression, the subtle smile on his face. the gears are turning in his head, something clicked.
what if william was keeping tabs on mike this whole time? and he carefully plotted to ensure he got the job at freddy’s. for reasons unknown. maybe he just wanted to mess with him, make him remember everything he repressed from his childhood - he’s trying to get him to remember by bringing him back to the place where it all started. he remembers his son, but mike doesn’t remember his father.
BUT that’s just me i’m a little insane. anyway i needed to make this post and write down my thoughts or i’d explode.
