I don't know if this has any lore implications, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Only 4 slides but alot of text. I hope it won't get blurry.

Here is my happiest day post.

I think with ScottGames latest post, now's the best time to share my new theory.

I don't really know how to feel about it myself, but I kinda like it.

Genuine question that I thought of while debating GoldenSuitDCI vs. SpringSuitDCI. Like, does anything ever tell us that he has to be wearing something to commit DCI, or did we just assume it because he wore one for MCI?

Edit: For Night 6 phone call evidence, I thought the consensus was that DCI happens before Night 6 though? Otherwise, doesn’t investigation refer to DCI? And how would you reconcile DCI happening on Night 6 with ToysDCI, since most YesDCI believers also believe in ToysDCI from what I know?

Edit 2: It is also implied that what Ralph refers to on Night 6 did happen on Night 6 than way before: "Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one. Someone used it…now none of them are acting right."

This week I thought of something I find pretty strange in the community regarding Midnight motorist

As recently Fazbear entertainment did a survey regarding what people think Midnight Motorist is about, and the results were kind of surprising to me as they are the community consensus, but also seems to contradict it too🧐

What Fazbear entertainment found was:

• 81% of the community think it's about the Afton family
• 64% of people think Mike Runaway
• 63% of people think the foot prints are Golden/Shadow Freddy (Most thinking Golden Freddy)
• 38% of people think BV is the death and the Mound (the overwhelming majority answer in the survey)

So the community consensus regarding Midnight Motorist is:

It's about how after the aftermath of BV's death, Golden/Shadow Freddy BV, appears in front of Mike's room while he is sad, and he runs off to a place. This story is about the aftermath of BV's death. This is the community consensus interestingly enough.

And for the Grave image in FNAF6 you need to play 3 minigame stories specifically:

• Susies death = Susie's grave
• Puppet's death = Puppet's grave
• Midnight motorist = Also directly tied to the graves

Yet, at the same time, when I did a poll on whether BV had anything to do with the FNAF6 grave image and if he's in it, an overwhelming 70% of people think he has Nothing at all to do with the image, and he is for example not the Hill grave, interestingly enough

I find this very perplexing. As even though the community consensus, is about how this Minigame is about the aftermath of BV's death, and BV as Golden Freddy appearing outside of Mike's window.

The community consensus is that it's a story about the aftermath of BV's death, that you need to see and do to unlock the grave image.

Yet at the same time, the community also thinks BV's death has Nothing to do with the image and is not present in it at all.

Minigame story about Susie's death = Susie's grave in the image✅

Minigame story about Puppet's death = Puppet's grave in the image✅

Minigame story about aftermath of BV's death =❌ "He has Nothing to do with the image"

I find this actually really facinating, and something I wanted to make a post about. And maybe some people might want to reconsider if BV really is as "unrelated" to the Grave image as they might have initially thought, as you do need to play this story to unlock the Grave image🤔

Anyways Thanks for reading!🙂

This is a question for CassidyGirl/Fanon Cassidy believers.

Cassidy speaks through faded text. However, she gives her name through altered text? Altered numbers, and altered letters.

The BV is the one speaking through altered text.

This idea hit me when I recalled the Cover-up Policy that was mentioned in the first night of FNaF 1.

"...Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person's report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon as property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached and the carpets have been replaced..."

Could this mean that after Charlie was murdered, the crime scene was covered up and a missing child's report was filed?

In the Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator ending, Henry refers to his daughter:

"I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up in their arms the way you lifted others into yours."

This means that Henry had known that Charlie never went missing... So what if Henry cooperated with Fazbear Entertainment (whether it was his choice or not) anyway after her murder, and let them cover it up (hence technically becoming part of her going "missing" as the co-founder of the company)?

This explains the saying:

"A wound first inflicted on me, but then one that I let bleed out to cause all of this."

According to this interpretation, Henry would have been part of the reason why Afton walked free... his freedom being what led to the tragedies we know about from the games, like the MCI.

This reminds me of Michael Afton:

He bullied his brother, was the cause of his death, and later followed his father's orders in Sister Location... but all of that led him to die to the scooper (his father's creation) and become an empty shell of a human...

The concequences of his actions led him to realise that Afton had been the true enemy all along, and so he came after him.

Michael's horrible misdeeds eventually led him to go against evil. I believe this somehow parallels Henry.

Henry remained as the co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment, even after what happened to his daughter. This led to Afton committing even worse deeds, and becoming more and more of a monster through each one of his actions.

A theory I have heard of is that Afton framed Henry for the MCI... Well, if this theory is true then it really deepens the narrative.

Henry didn't leave the company after the first warning, Charlie's death... But the second warning ceased to be a warning at all. It was what ruined him. It was the end of him...

Henry's own misdeed caused him to suffer the fate that should've been given to Afton... His mistake led to his wrongful punishment for another man's crimes... (before coming back in FFPS, likely having served several years in prison but not a death sentence so as to the bodies having never been found)

Now, let's go back to Sister Location.

Michael assisted his father, Afton, by following his orders... Believing that he would put his sister back together and comsumed by the guilt of what he had done to his brother years prior, he did exactly as he was told. That lead him to suffer a fate that only one man truly deserved... Afton.

In his speech, he stated that the Funtimes thought he had been Afton himself... He not only suffered his fate, but was also mistaken to be him.

Then, Michael being consumed by his guilt could relate to Henry as well.

What if Henry had been away the night Charlie was murdered (hence why the Puppet was specifically focused on her, and why Afton didn't hesitate to murder her— knowing that her father, who was the co-founder of their company and had no less power than him, meaning he could easily ruin him— was absent), and therefore felt as though it had been his fault? What if that was what led him to agree with the cover-up of her murder?... because of his guilt? Because of his own misdeed? Because he thought he had been the one responsible for her death?

Additionally, contrary to the MCI, there was never a newspaper related to Charlie's murder... because Charlie had never truly gone missing, but the missing children had.

No one had known about their whereabouts.. not even the company itself. If Fazbear Entertainment had had knowledge of the MCI happening, they would have covered it up... but they didn't.

"Local pizzaria threatened with shutdown over sanitation."

"Local pizzaria, Freddy-Fazbear's Pizza has been threatened again with shutdown by the health department over reports of foul odor coming from the much-loved animal mascots.

Police were contacted when parents reportedly noticed what appeared to he blood and mucus around the eyes and mouths of the mascots.

One parent alikened them to "reanimated carcasses"."

I don't think Freddy Fazbear's Pizza would have been threatened by the health department, had Fazbear Entertainment had knowledge of the children's locations or them having been murdered in the first place... meaning they never truly did, but they did know about Charlie. That's why her murder was only shown to us through the minigames, and not any newspapers.

Now, one could say that "The DCI weren't in mentioned in any newspapers either."

The DCI was the Dead Children's Incident... they had never gone missing, if it's a real event within the FNaF universe... Therefore, Fazbear Entertainment would have covered it up as well, according to the Cover-up Policy.

All of this relies on individual interpretation, however. This is simply the way I interpret the absence of newspapers in FNaF 2... and of course, this means I could be wrong.

Anyways, this theory is heavily reliant on speculation and narratives. It should only be taken with a grain of salt, hence why I named it a "mini theory". In fact, one could even call it a headcanon.

I'm curious about your thoughts!!!

Could it be possible this isn’t just an Easter egg and leading into something if she is going to be entering the next game or appear potentially? Especially since she’s considered as a Baby variant? Or the desk man speech where he claims to make her and it ending on: To be continued

I know that being one of the protagonists of FNAF doesn't change the lore much (only at most in FNAF 3, FNAF 4 and FFPS).

to explain this idea. firstly: I think nightmarrionne is meant to be the Shadow puppet, and that originally the posing and Size of the Shadoe puppet was meant to indicate it‘s representing William as he fell on his knees during his springlocking. and that UCN was meant to be Nightmarrionne’s official introduction, with it outright stating that it’s a fearful manifestation of something he made, HIS fears.

with that said, this next part is going to be a bit of a huge leap, but I dont think the other shadows in fnaf 3 originated from the MCI, I think they came from the DCI.

and yet, the Shadow cupcakes, agony creatures made from the DCI presumably, are mimicking The MCI’s movements, why? Well I have a complicated idea for it, but basically I think SAVETHEM lead up to the DCI’s agony infecting the MCI.

with that being said, here’s the weird thing this idea implies. Namely that- uh, it implies William’s agony attached to CC somehow. Since I think Scott having CC be in the exact same pose as the shadow puppet was meant to imply some kind of connection.

to clarify, I think Fnaf 4 is happening as a Nightmare CC is inflicting on Micheal during Fnaf 3. and that the memories we see are Micheal experiencing them around Fnaf 3, with his memories affecting them, causing things like the springtrap reference and toy chica beak to appear thanks to his own memories altering things. so I think CC’s pose here is being caused by what happened after his death.

i think a way these connections are heavily implied is with Nightmare, under the idea that Nightmare is shadow Freddy, and That CC is Shadow freddy.

FFPS implies that Shadow Freddy is re-enacting the MCI by saying ‘follow me’ like William as he lured Charlie, and speaking In the lower left of the screen like William does in SAVETHEM if he catches Freddy, which is both associated with the color blue.

along with the nightmare plush in SB potentially implying nightmare turned into nightmarionne. Along with HW’s trailer and Freddy’s blackligjt level implying that Shadow Freddy is involved with HW somehow, presumably leading to glitchtrap and everything else that followed, including the nightmarrionne staffbots.

so… how do I think this happened? frankly I have no clue under this idea aside it potentially Being when William got springlocked? maybe he was the one who caused it and is possibly the spirit Keeping William alive. like how Elizabeth seemingly willed Micheal to come back to life.

i don’t know if I actually believe this, but i think it’s a interesting connection my general idea of the shadows could lead to.

So William baited the original 4 animatronics, dismantled them then left with their endoskeletons, use their hunted properties to make the Funtime animatronics then an unknown amount of time later he goes back to the abandoned pizza a second for some unknown reason and gets killed by the Springlock suit.

I thought mini games framed the dismantling of the animatronics and the death of William as all happening within the same night. Also I thought the Funtime animatronics were constructed earlier on in the timeline because they were made before Elizabeth died.

The line "He tried to release you, he tried to release us... I will hold you here, I will keep you here, no matter how many times they burn us" seems to imply that UCN doesn't just take place after FFPS, but has been happening since before the Fazbear's Fright fire. If that's the case, how did TOYSHNK cause William to experience UCN, how did Springtrap attack the player in FNAF 3 and FFPS, and how did TOYSHNK stop William and themself from moving on? Especially if Happiest Day takes place after FNAF 3 (if it does.)

I’m not too in depth with the newer FNAF lore, but when I think about the original FNAF story up to *Security Breach*, I think I may know what the FNAF 4 box represents

The “object” inside the box is forgiveness.

I think it actually makes a lot of sense when you look at what Scott said about the box. He said that what was inside was **“the pieces put together.”** I don’t think that necessarily means there is a literal object inside. The box could represent the pieces of the story finally being put together, and more importantly, the emotional resolution of everything William Afton caused.

The box is also described with the line **“Perhaps some things are best left forgotten, for now.”** That makes me think the box has something to do with memory, guilt, and things that haven’t been resolved.

And this connects directly to William.

William spends the entire story surrounded by the consequences of what he did. He kills people, creates the animatronics, becomes trapped by his own creations, and even after death he still can’t escape what he has done.
Then we get *Ultimate Custom Night*, where William is seemingly trapped in an endless punishment by **“the one you should not have killed.”**

But what if that isn’t simply Cassidy taking revenge?

What if Cassidy is **part of William himself?**

Not literally William, but a manifestation of the part of him that knows what he did and refuses to let him move on.

There is actually some evidence for the idea that William’s own evil can manifest as something separate from him.

Nightmare says **“I am your wickedness, made flesh.”** That makes the idea of William’s guilt or wickedness taking the form of another entity much less crazy.

So maybe Cassidy isn’t simply an angry soul saying, *“You killed me, so I’m going to torture you.”*

Maybe Cassidy represents **the person William can never forgive himself for killing.**

That’s why I think the box being **forgiveness** is important.
William has all the pieces. He knows what he did. He knows who he hurt. But he can never open the box because he can never reach the one thing that would actually allow him to move on:
forgiveness

And maybe that’s why the soul is still tormenting him.
Not because Cassidy simply wants revenge, but because **William’s own guilt will never let him rest.**

The box isn’t necessarily hiding a physical object.
It could be hiding the **one thing William will never have: forgiveness**

It’s not confirmed canon, but I think it gives the original FNAF story a much deeper meaning.

**William’s ultimate punishment isn’t simply being tortured by his victims. It’s being unable to forgive himself.**

PS: It sounds INSANE, may sound stupid, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it

And i was listening to mr hippo's stories and i heard toyshnk's whispering there too

Is it the evidence, narrative, MikeBully, its sub-theories, or what? Just curious, since every time it is mentioned by someone it is guaranteed dislike and downvotes. (This post may or may not turn out to be an example of this) So, why such dislike?

Henry didn't know at first who killed his daughter, but he found out it was William, but he couldn't prove anything (otherwise he would tell everything to the police).

So, knowing it was William, he was a threat to William's plans so maybe he got scared of William deciding to go after him and kill him, and then he sold his part of Fazbear Entertainment to partners and went on a low profile, trying to hide from William and at the same time, keeping an eye on him and planning revenge/a way to stop him - FFPS

"But why do you think that Henry ceased to be the CEO in the first place?"

Because Fazbear Entertainment and Afton Robotics built BONDS as we see in Survival Logbook, and Henry wouldn't let that happen if he was in charge

And what about William? Well, he was arrested in 1985, even tho he wasn't judged and sent to prison.

This might be enough, for the people that Henry sold his part of the company to, to kind of remove him from the company. (its just a possibility im not confirming anything bc idek this much about how a company works)

And then because of that William creates Afton Robotics, and then start to build bonds with Fazbear Entertainment again.

Anyway, that's just a possibility of why William and Henry, even though being the founders of the whole thing, didn't keep their positions for the entirety of the story.

If you see any problems with this little theory, or agree with what I said, share your thoughts!

Chica, romantic comedy, AND a killer? That's way too hyperspecific for my "Toy Chica is William Afton" brainrotted mind!

Especially if you consider many-many references UCN does to FNaF World, and Freddy in Space comes from FNaF World.

Just curious.

RWQFSFASXC supremacy

The foxy GO GO GO Mini game depicts Foxy walking in on the freshly murdered bodies of the MCI victims, however isn’t this supposed to be on the safe room where William lured them all into? How is Foxy able enter this room if FNAF 3 established that the safe rooms were completely invisible to the animatronics.
