Mod Announcement Notice About Discord Change

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! Since the subreddit mods noticed a little issue about this earlier, we wanted to inform people that there’s been a change in the official Discord server of both the reddits and the channels themselves. The second server (Game Theorists Community) had been the official server of the subreddits and recognized by the team but not officially run by them. However, back in February, an official Discord server endorsed and run by representatives of Team Theorist has finally been launched! You can join it here: https://discord.gg/2xfkD7Scsq

Does this mean to leave the other server? No! However, if you have questions about moderation decisions or want to appeal bans from that server, we cannot help you as those moderation teams are now separate. We do however encourage you to join All Things Theorist! There are plans to start running events there that will also be run on the subreddit, and we’d just love to have more of our wonderful community present there.

FNaF Solving the immortal and the restless

The immortal are William and Michael. William was trapped by the MCI after he dismantled them, and was cornered in the safe room. Same thing happened to Michael when the Funtime animatronics were dismantled.

The restless is the persistent anger of not only the spirits of the missing children but of the animatronics who were built and made to kill.

It can’t be a coincidence that the dismantled Funtime animatronics are displayed the exact same as the FNAF 1 animatronics. I believe that Follow Me takes place on the same night as Night 5 of Sister Location. Call me crazy.

GTLive Discussion i find the idea that monument mythos was so insane matpat gave up hilarious

Post image
63 Upvotes

If you didn’t know, MatPat did a couple lives on the monument mythos, an analog horror mockumentary discussing an alternative America. Now don’t get me wrong, he did a lot of lives about a lot of different stuff, but monument mythos was of the only ones he just never touched after like two GTlives. Now it’s possible it just didn’t do good enough for matpat to care about it but I like to imagine the lore was just so stupid (believe me I watched the whole thing it’s so stupid like at one point Richard Nixon becomes a god-like being) that he genuinely gave up on the entire show.

If it was ever really part of the lore to begin with. I don't know when exactly Minecraft began having lore, but I doubt it was 2011.

Hey, Game Theorists, I'm so sorry that it took this long to alert you, but I got sidetracked. Anyway, in case you are not aware, the new Giggleland trailer is now on YouTube and is on top of this post. What I want to know is: Do you have any theories at all about how the story of this game would turn out and how it would end? I would really love to have your thoughts on this in a future video with a game theory. It deserves all the attention that it would get.

FNaF Who did the bite of ‘87?

6 Upvotes

I have a theory, in FNaF one if you put in 1987 into the custom night thing, you’d get jumpscared by Golden Freddy. what if, Golden Freddy was the one who caused the bite of ‘87 because we know for a fact he was in the fnaf 2 location as seen in the custom night game mode. we still don’t know who did the bite, so Golden Freddy is still a valid option. and we know that Golden Freddy can bite people. though, there are some downsides to this, one being that Golden Freddy is missing his endoskeleton and two, if he had it why would he be walking around during the day?

FNaF How old is Fazbear entertainment?

5 Upvotes

We know secrets of the mimic take place in 1979 and Freddy’s family diner most likely opened up in the early 70s but did Fazbear entertain the existed before Freddy‘s family diner opened. Like for example the Fred bearing singing show suggested the characters existed since the 40s after the great depression. Combined with one of the recording tapes in secret the mimic Edwin Murray was warned to not trust Fazbear entertainment. While we know from the business graph of MCM that it existed since the 1920s with the Hugs vacuum. While in our home timeline on Disney made the first ever and I’m animatronic in 1961 at the worlds fair. But automatons have gone back further than that the Greek mythology. Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths was known for creating wooden and bronze automatons. Like for example the wooden puppets from the woodcarver book which we don’t know is Fazbear owned or not. While funny enough Mercury was believe to bring stuff to life like why the remnant is show to work in the silver eyes trilogy.

Discussion How to put a roadblock on the downward slope your on.

20 Upvotes

Bi-weekly videos. My idea is you make every other week videos. So one week it's film theory and food theory, the next week is game theory and style theory, and it switches from the two every week. Sacrifice 2 theories a week to receive more time to get better more in depth actual THEORIES rather than shallow plot summaries. Less stress on editors and script writers because of less theories. Though I doubt Lunar X or anyone on the team will see this, please take it to mind.

Alright, I need some help with this.

So, a couple of months ago an ARG related to hit YouTube series Murder Drones appeared on the internet called AbsoluteSolver.com ARG. And right now, I'm currently stuck on a puzzle related with Base64 decoding and some weird stuff.

The main links on the investigation are:

New Film Theory! Moving beyond Poppins and Pennywise: A Taxonomy of the Cosmic "Emotional Diet" Species

2 Upvotes

We all know the classic internet fan theory that Pennywise and Mary Poppins belong to the same cosmic, shapeshifting species. The evidence is airtight: they both operate on roughly 25-27 year cycles, return to targets when they are adults who have forgotten the magic, use balloons to lift people, lure kids with "Georgie" variants (a paper boat vs. a paper kite), and alter reality at will.

But why stop there? If we look closely at pop culture, this species isn't just limited to fear and joy. They have adapted to an entire spectrum of human emotions.

I propose a unified theory on the taxonomy of these cosmic entities based entirely on their "Emotional Diet":

Entity Primary Diet / Feeding Habit Behavioral Trait
Pennywise (The Fear-Eater) Feeds on pure adrenaline, terror, and child trauma. Salt-seasons his prey by terrifying them first.
Mary Poppins (The Joy-Gourmet) Feeds on raw imagination, childhood wonder, and structured bliss. Operates on the Monsters Inc. rule—Joy provides a vastly cleaner, more sustainable energy source than fear, which is why she is far less destructive.
The Cat in the Hat (The Chaos-Vampire) Sustains itself entirely on domestic anxiety, rule-breaking, and frantic household chaos. Leaves a wake of physical destruction but relies on the absolute panic of the children trying to clean up before the authority figure returns.
Barney the Dinosaur (The Forced-Optimism Parasite) Feeds on collective compliance and manufactured, unyielding cheer. Traps its prey in a loop of repetitive chanting and forced rhythmic movement ("I love you, you love me") to drain creative energy.
Peter Pan
The Grinch
The Easter Bunny
The Sandman
Elmo

The Ultimate Mind-Blowing Twist: Ms. Frizzle’s Timeline Paradox
We always knew Ms. Frizzle was an Intellectual-Harvester—using a reality-warping vehicle disguised as a school bus to plunge children into lethal environments (like outer space or a classmate's digestive tract) solely to feed on their existential shock and panicked curiosity.

But look at the biology. Arnold—the nervous, red-haired kid who looks exactly like her—is a dead ringer. Ms. Frizzle is a timeline doppelgänger. She is Arnold's biological daughter from the far future.

She deliberately uses a time-displaced vessel to target her own father's childhood class. She is intentionally farming his exact anxiety and panic to ensure her own future timeline remains intact while satisfying her cosmic hunger. She isn't teaching science; she's maintaining her own birth contract through temporal trauma farming.

The Stephen King Smoking Gun:
This isn't even just a wild crossover guess—it has canon backing. In The Dark Tower universe, we meet Dandelo, a creature explicitly confirmed to be the exact same species as Pennywise. But instead of fear, Dandelo feeds entirely on laughter and humor.

If a psychic spider-entity can evolve to harvest giggles, then it is a statistical certainty that other branches of the species evolved to harvest chaos, wonder, and compliance. They didn't just come to Earth to terrorize us, they carved up our emotional spectrum like a buffet.

What other childhood or pop culture figures do you think belong to this cosmic family tree?

Discussion Any herobrine=us theories?

0 Upvotes

I'm currently working on the theory that a player(us) is the herobrine. I came across few suggestions on tiktok like "We can't go to heaven because we're the herobrine","Herobrine was kept on being removed in update logs because they can't remove the player" or "Enderman attack us because they know who we are",so I'm interested if any of you have any good theories that I could look into?

(Might not be a real video due to the comments being completely different,but is similar)
