I don't have a problem with the Toy designs existing before 87. I always read it as they were originally toy designs, based loosely on the original animatronics, and when they tried to reboot the franchise in 87 they used the existing toy designs. The Toy animatronics were built in 87, but the actual toys they were based on date back to the Freddy's craze of 83.

Honestly nice take on Michael, I think it’s probably not intended but when we just consider the games ties it into a nice bow. Since before CN we literally had no idea Cassidy even existed at the time. And If we think of it as a neat and tidy story, Mike is the best candidate because we already knew he had a justifiable grudge. Cassidy was nice because she explains Golden Freddy’s aggression but she does come out of no where from a writing perspective, so story wise Mike is better to explain it.

It would be the same as how we know who Henry is in the game but we technically don't know the name right? It also kinda explains why golden Freddy was so strong able to actually teleport and cause hallucinations.

I think obeying William's order to look for Elizabeth in SL was the condition for Michael's being released from his FNAF 4 "punishment" and William hoped seeing Michael would trigger Elizabeth's memories.

There's nothing the animatronics can do to Michael worse than what he's already gone through. He's the perfect nemesis for his father.

@@stevehenby I think you're underestimating why Scott didn't make it one of William's children and some random kid. Thats the whole point. Cassidy was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, targeted and used by a monster. Her death was unfair. Her life - full of potential- cut short because some creep killed her to be immortal. So, in that same sense of unfairness, she gives Afton exactly what he wanted: to live in an eternal torture chamber. She is rightly angry and has been clinging onto that anger for decades. I think Scott definitely undersold the idea by not giving the victims of William's crimes any characterisation. But Michael doing the torturing makes no sense. He wasn't killed by William, not directly. His invention killed him but Michael could have told his dad to fuck off after Night 1 in FNAF: SL. Next, Michael had spent DECADES cleaning up his father's mess and would no doubt just be too tired to spend his time in the afterlife by killing his dad over and over again. Crying Child wasn't killed by his Dad, it was Henry's invention and Michael's bullying that killed him. If anything, his dad was desperately trying to save him.

@@grandempressvicky6387 i am wondering though if the crying child was in his own limbo hell being stuck in and haunting one of the machines that not only was he terrified of but that also ended his life and blamed his father for making them and wanted to show/give his father a taste of what that hell was like by creating a hell that just repeats what William Afton was terrified of and making him relive it over and over again with no reprieve. If you think about it, crying child was terrified to even go near much less into the animatronic and then had to spend his afterlife trapped in it. I am also sure he was praying his parents would save him from his Michael's prank and when they didn't and just showed the machine of his nightmares that he was trapped inside into a room alone to rot I bet he started wanting to dish out revenge.

yeah I think the idea of it being Mike visiting the hospital is perfect. I've mostly only watch matpats theories which has started to feel less and less cohesive with the book reliance. Everything's getting very crossed and if FNAF 4 is meant to have had all the clues for the box but got missed then I do agree this timeline needs to be game based. The kids going to a FNAF location makes no sense as by that point Elizabeth and Crying child are gone and Mike is guilty for killing his own brother accidentally. I can't believe that never occured to me, I only ever saw it as not making sense and being more likely a kid was running away from their scary ass serial killer dad. Plus giving Afton better motivations then just wanting to kill. It's beautiful

@Cakes The only issue, is why is a Hospital called "Jr's"? It seems more likely that it's a bar or another faz location. Kinda like how you have Weeny Hut Jr and SUPER Weeny Hut Jr.(you better enjoy that SpongeBob reference) The fact that it's the same purple car, purple guy, it's still raining just like the night charlie was killed in the alley. It's definitely supposed to be "late that night" after he killed Charlie. There us the whole argument for if there are really 2 "missing kids incidents" or just 1. The articles from FNAF 1 say the killer was caught and convicted. So what if "JRs" is just the front of building he just killed Charlie at? Here's a guy caught and convicted and eventually released, showing up to a child's pizza restaurant the same night a kid was killed. The very crime he committed. Hence why you're told "you shouldn't be here" when trying to enter. Now I'm not a full expert on the Lore so there's probably huge holes in this next theory... What if it's just another FNAF Timeline issue? What if the story was (supposed) to be: crying child gets bit and dies. In a fot of rage and sadness, afton kills Charlie? Kind of a "my kid is gone while yours gets to live" moment of psychosis. Then, "Later That Night", it's afton going back to the restaurant his son was bit at? But that would rely on the assumption that it's just another issue of times and dates not making sense and being changed.

As does a guilt ridden teenager going to the hospital to visit his brother.

I always find it a bit sad that some potentially big parts of the story are never really talked about in lore stuff. *Afton Robotics* being a separate entity to Fazbear Entertainment has a lot of lore potential. combined with the fact that the underground workshop/bunker thing that is owned by afton robotics has a lot of human-like or doll/marionette designs, and very few animal ones, while the pizzeria's we see have almost exclusively animal designs with only a handful more human like designs. There's also 'Chica's Party World' and 'Circus Baby's Pizza World' as unseen locations which are related to the Afton Robotics workshop. Also, it's never really said what type of company Fazbear Entertainment is. Everyone just assumes it's purely a pizzeria chain, and while that could be true, it's not really necessary to be true. Considering that they had full animated TV shows, and a LOT of toys, and the fact that the FNAF 2 location supposedly was really popular despite having been closed down for a long time and only just reopened. I find it highly unlikely to be a small but popular local restaurant. Could be an entertainment company that has a few physical locations after it's brand (like Disneyworld, or plenty of other big entertainment studio's that have themeparks), 'Chica's Party World' might not even have been a restaurant.

Then, in the UCN cutscenes, Chica mentions something about running over someone's dog, and Mangle is loosely referred to as a dog. In addition, in FNAF 2, Mangle has no voice lines. Maybe Mangle was an early experiment of Afton's? Edit: It was Toy Chica, not regular Chica. She said she would say that someone ran over the wolf's dog in order to get him to come to her house.

But I really like this video for how it interprets William Afton. I think this video does a great job at managing to join the two characterizations of Purple Guy, the pre-SL "Unrepentant serial killer who mows kids down" guy with the post-SL "Loving father who's a mad scientist" guy. Him starting his killings as revenge and then it becoming about reviving Crying Child after he notices the possessions is a smart look. I'm also fully convinced now that FNAF 4 is Michael Afton's dreams based on that detail of the FNAF 1 phone call being played in reverse, and this is the best answer I've ever seen for the FNAF 1 newspapers saying that someone was convicted for the murders, that being Henry who William framed. I think this video is stellar, and is a very good look at the series from relatively fresh eyes by trying to escape the books and just looks at them with as blind an eye as possible.

Michael being "The One You Should Not Have Killed" (TOYSHNK for short) is definitely a unique theory that I can't recall hearing before haha, but there was one thing that stuck out to me when you were explaining it, and that was you saying Golden Freddy twitching away was Michael showing him "this is what you did" basically with his "greatest crime" (which I can assume you're talking about Crying Child's bite), but we know that was ENTIRELY Michael's fault and his doing, and you said earlier on that Fredbear was HENRY's creation (so William killed his daughter for that reason etc.) So William didn't do anything to cause the Bite itself and couldn't have prevented it because he didn't even make the suit (so it's not like his regret/"crime" is making it or anything) although I can see how you're putting it all together, to me that Golden Freddy cutscene is the thing that sort of breaks the Michael being TOYSNHK but everything else in this video I could agree with or at least see where you're coming from haha, great video! :)

Hello Rye, I loved the theory of the timeline, it really put the Afton storyline in one neat bowtie, and I agree with about 90% of what you've built so far. However, there are a few things that I want to discuss if ever you see them: [I REALLY hope this comes to your attention] FNAF 2 happens AFTER Sister Location: -For starters, we need to take into account the fact that Michael is a possessed corpse by the time of FNAF 1 searching for his father, and this is supported by the "Foul Odor" and "Tampering with the animatronics" in his pink slip. Why is this important? In FNAF 2 there is a separate character in the custom night called Fritz Smith that is also fired for the same reasons of odor and tampering. This can't just be a coincidence, the best reasoning for this has to be Michael starting his quest to find William Afton as far back as FNAF 2. -I think this could also be a contradiction that makes Sister Location occur before FNAF 2 instead of after, because you've mentioned the Dead Child Incident leading to the situation that leads to Afton creating the Funtime Animatronics, and I cannot think of any other way for the Funtimes to be created except the Follow Me minigames of FNAF 3 which only throws both our theories off. Cassidy/Golden Freddy is One You Should Not Have Killed and not Michael: -Even without the books and the whole two spirit Golden Freddy theory, I still think whoever is in the soul of Golden Freddy is the one keeping Afton in hell and not Michael. For one, the Golden Freddy cutscene at the end of UCN is too important to be regarded as simply a reminder by Michael as the two characters aren't connected strongly enough. Besides, I think Michael would have been happy to pass on into the afterlife with all the freed souls now that his suffering could end, and I just don't believe the death trap motive isn't strong enough since Michael was fruitful in his efforts for finding Elizabeth. -This is another thing people forgot to mention as well that in UCN after some jumpscares you will see the face of a strange child when you brighten the screen. That child could not have been there for no reason unless it was the malevolent spirit. Aside from that, you also hear the child's voice with the Mediocre Melodies and Michael as full grown undead adult could not have made that type of whisper. -Next, the Fredbear jumpscare when you D-coin Golden Freddy. This confirms that Fredbear and Golden Freddy are in fact the same animatronic, a springlock suit stuck in an unmoving state based on its slumped position. Since GF is such, I'd be vengeful too if the Puppet put me into the one animatronic that had no movement like the others and could only interact with the night guard as a spirit or with hallucinations. -Finally, the fifth spirit in FNAF 3. If it is true that the Happiest Day Minigame was made for the Crying Child, and the four other kids are of Freddy Bonnie Chica and Foxy, then that's only their souls that move on. Unfortunately, this mean's that the Vengeful Spirit's soul was NOT put to rest by Charlie, leaving it alone to torment William for eternity. The Bite of 87: -Also I know this is a minor event now and unimportant to the Afton timeline but it would be wise to include Jeremy FItzgerald as the FNAF 2 guard and how with evidence presented he proceeds to be the Bite of 87 victim Phone Guy mentions in FNAF 1, however I think this is still important to be added because it is a consequence of the Dead Child Incident, where we know two things from this: 1. Phone Guy becomes the night guard after Jeremy is switched to the day shift and will be the night guard until his untimely death in FNAF 1. 2. Jeremy being changed to the day shift means the already possessed toy animatronics had a familiar target to attack plus the suspicion towards all adults. -I think this animatronic was Mangle, and this isn't just because of the whole frontal lobe biting jumpscare that everyone is talking about, but actually a detail that one of your other commenters mentioned in the previous video. Mangle was the only other active animatronic on the night of the dead child incident, meaning she likely saw the killer as well being purple guy in the process of dismantling Withered Freddy. Mangle would be the most likely to attack an unsuspecting adult if they believed Jeremy to be William especially as a security guard.

Maybe the face when he dies is CC. And also the fact that Fredbear shows up after trying to kill GF is tied to the fact above that Michael reminds Afton of the Bite of '83 and where it all started. Heck, it might be that Michael communicates with Cassidy, keeping both of them in the suit and the hell and using these informations against Afton. The Survival Logbook is proof that Cassidy is talking to Michael.

i get why people would think SL takes place BEFORE FNAF 2, but i don't think it's the case.. you see, "Tempering with animatronics and Odor" probably is just a joke SC did for the Custom Night (because you can select which dificulty you want to play, 0/20.. Odor would be because the player stink after beating 20/20 modes), to me it makes more sense for SL to take place AFTER FNAF 1, because it would explain why William Afton was destroying the FNAF 1 animatronics, to melt and use for parts for the Funtimes (also it would make Elizabeth born in 83 and it would be enough time for her to grow up a bit and be killed by Baby.. There's a teaser in Special Delivery of Mangle with a background being of a baby, because there's a crib there.. similar to FNAF 4)

I do think the idea of the Michael being the vengeful spirit keeping William trapped makes a lot of sense. The only thing I would say doesn't necessarily line up is the age of the person. The vengeful spirit is stated to be a young boy or a young girl- it needs to work as either, but YOUNG is specifically designated. I don't think Michael is very young based on what we've seen. Also, I do think narratively that the reason why there are some inconsistencies between FNaF 4 and the other games is likely due to the fact that the game was probably intended originally to show that everything was likely all a dream. I know Scott has gone away from whatever he was originally planning the story of FNaF 4 to be, but I do wish we could have at least known what his original intention was.

Toy versions like Mangle and what we see elsewhere. And a Springtrap that you can accidentally get your fingers pinched inside of.

7:30 It can just be explained as the Toy animatronics are newer than the Toy designs. The toys, especially being plastic and simple, may have just been made as merchandise. Then, after the Bite incident, they decided to use those successful designs which weren't as closely associated with the incident. Or, the toy designs already existed. Just the new Toys in the game are new. 7:50 That doesn't mean FNaF 4 was real. Just the location. 8:15 Again, no reason to think it's crazy that there are multiples. 9:35 There's nothing to gleam with him calling it "some yellow suit" rather than "springlock suit". If it was a commonly used tech, he'd feel no need to call it by its specific technical name. If it was not commonly used and he *didn't* know the technical name, he would still call it that, since that's just the literally just the physical description of it. All this tells us, is that specific suite wasn't particularly special individually.

I see the logic in Michael being the vengeful spirit, especially with no mention of Cassidy in the games, but I do still like it being Cassidy - that every dead child has their own story and Cassidy was unable to act until their spirit was released at the end of FNAF6. But now they are free to act in the afterlife, they take the reins and enact decades of hatred upon Afton. I think Cassidy's torture is so brutal *because* they didn't even have autonomy inside the Golden Freddy suit. They just sat there for decades, doing nothing, losing their mind and getting angrier at William as time marched on. And I think there's no better person to torture Afton in the afterlife that someone both he and the narrative views as inconsequential - a previously nameless child who was murdered.

CB says on Night 5 The cameras are watching.” Baby calls Ennard “Ballora.” In fnaf6 Molten Freddy’s blueprint the fun times have security tags on them. Which was likely used by William to track the funtimes cause they constantly escaped. “I have been out before.” - CB “They always put us back, when we look like this. But if we look like you. Then we would have somewhere to go.” - CB In fake ending “We won’t be able to try again.” - Ennard In fnaf4 I’m pretty sure Nightmare has an ambulance siren in his jumpscare. While Nightmare Fredbear has older brother laugh which was the last thing BV heard before being rushed to the hospital.

You've convinced me Mike is a valid contender for UCN's "the one you should not have killed". I'm still tempted by the idea that if it's Cassidy then Midnight Motorist is probably their father, who is too drunk to realize the broken window and foot prints indicate Afton lured the child away (in the cloth Help Wanted yellow suit). However, your point of Mike not just passing on, but participating in UCN seems really tangible. I've also thought it would be strange if Henry just passes on; like why are dead children proven to haunt, but we just assume these three adult men have the ability to just pass on? Even if Henry did nothing wrong, he is probably bitter like Mike would be; assuming one passes and one is stuck or simply both pass is a little silly. You're doing a good job at shaking up the narrative and I think that's what the "spirit" of this type of story telling is all about; creating a mystery that needs lots of different perspectives to eventually put it all together.

I find it weird having Sister Location taking place before FNAF 1 since the FNAF 6 audio with Henry describes the events of William luring the animatronics and taking them apart in the fnaf 3 mini games. This coupled with the candy cadet stories of melting 5 souls together implies that the animatronic parts of the mci was melted into remnant and inserted into the funtimes (except Baby) AFTER fnaf 1. This places sister location events after fnaf 1. Also Michael is confirmed to be the fnaf 3 security guard by the sister location ending. Since Michael experiences hallucinations of fnaf 2 and fnaf 1 animatronics, we can deduce that he is the security guard (at least for night 6) of fnaf 2. The fnaf 2 and 1 guards get fired for the same reasons implying that it was the same security guard which further supports that Michael is security guard for at least the first three games. It seems in general that Michael is the person we play as for every single fnaf game (except for the majority of fnaf 2). My theory is that after the DCI in the FNAF 2 location (which is what causes the lockdown), the owners tried contacting the original owners of fredbears family diner which would be William and/or Henry. Michael could have been made aware of Williams murders through this contacting and he begins to investigate. Therefore he starts investigating the fnaf 2 location in the custom night (night 7).

Also, it's likely that the Sister Location and BB animatronics were from William's failed business before they became what they are now, but with the death of William's daughter it had to be shut down and that's how they both become partners. But William was angry because Henry was more successful and was given most, if not all, of the credit for both their work and possible jealous that Henry and Charlie got along so well as a family while William's family was running on fumes after Elizabeth died, William did leave his children alone afterward and there still has to be a reason why William didn't want his children to go to the FNAF location.

The only reason I hesitate is I think he needs a compelling reason to build the funtimes, because the funtimes are specifically built to kidnap and kill children. So there needs to be a really good reason for him to do that in my opinion
@forkalamari6093 Жыл бұрын
Good theory! I personally think that Fredbears is the first location, and Charlie does since William wanted Henry to feel the same pain he did. He got a rush out of it so he killed 5 more, which he melted down to turn into the Funtimes after the merge. I ALSO think that he discovered remnant before the FNaF 1 MCI, just because he also needed another, better reason (pronounced “excuse”) for killing imo. However I do think that SL takes place after FNaF 3 and 4. Maybe the protagonist in that game is Michael and the MINIGAME protagonist is CC/Evan?

@@RyeToast well, Baby does explain to us how she lost control and couldn't stop herself from killing Elisabeth. If she was designed to kill kids then she would know that was what she was made for. If she was designed to kill kids then why Elisabeth instead of all the other kids, that's honestly the question I see no one asking, why Elisabeth of all people. Also, Elisabeth's possession of Baby has to be the reason why Circus Baby's Pizzaria shut down, so how can William be partners with Henry and run his own restaurant at the same time otherwise.

@@forkalamari6093 I agree, but we see William leave the scene after Charlie dies, so there has to be some repercussions from that happening to the restaurant.

Now there is the possibility that he's fired for odor for messing with the animatronics since they stink, not because he's been scooped

3:06-3:33 Yeah; I Agree with Matpat's Newest theories about the Founding of Fazbear Entertainment INC(Not to be confused with Fazbear Entertainment LLC; As Founded by Elizabeth Afton); But Honestly. . . a More Understandable Catalyst for William to Start Killing; would be the Bite of 83; If that was the Catalyst that Was the Start of William's Transformation into a Monster; Angry at Henry's Design for KILLING HIS SON; He wanted Revenge against his Co-worker; so Since HENRY'S Creation ended up killing HIS son; He Decided to take it out on His Co-worker's Daughter so that Henry would know how it felt to lose his child; and Since he had YET to discover Remnant at this Point; IMMORTALITY was NOT what was on His Mind when He Killed Charlie; It was REVENGE against the Man who Created the Machine that killed HIS son!!

Having Michael being the one you should not have killed makes sense with what you were saying. However, in sister location he isn't angry with his father. He was confused how he was alive in the first place. Plus the thing he got scooped with was the remnant INJECTOR. So what if the spirit of golden freddy or some other animatronic was injected into Michael. That would explain how he would still be alive but confused about it. This would also explain why he gets golden freddy hallucinations during the games.

Only problem I have with this timeline is that I don't buy the idea of William starting the FNaF 1 location, since the FNaF 1 animatronics don't have characteristics of William's robots (like not having five fingers in each hand and four toes in each foot, unlike the Funtime animatronics that are obviously made by William) Maybe the FNaF 1 location was just Fazbear Entertainment trying one last time to ressurrect the franchise, like the end of night 5 in FNaF 2 said, and William just comes back to the FNaF 1 location after it closes Edit: I hope you can understand lol

***Almost 60k ?? Rye, I know you don't know me & I'm just another internet person, but I gotta say I'm really really proud. You have done an amazing job keeping up with your growth, keeping your content in YOUR style & really challenging some FNAF things that I think have just always been assumed as "canon" . Stoked to see that you're getting sponsors too, I still remember your first one (Thanks Morgan & Morgan haha), and the fact this has continued is awesome. Your sponsor segments are engaging, unique, tie into that un-easy horror vibe & really show your personality. Can't wait till your charity stream. Money is a bit tight for me at the moment, I've finished work for the year and don't start back coaching gymnastics until the beginning of the school year (Feb in New Zealand), but Ill donate what I can, I'll be there watching & share with anyone I know who is into FNAF!

I think I know when the DCI takes place. In the first Fazbear Frights book (I know this video is completely opposed to them but, y'know), titled "Into the Pit," Ozzie goes back in time through a time travelling ball pit to 1985. A man in a yellow bunny suit then ushers him into another room, five victims on display. I believe that this is the DCI, meaning that it takes place in 1985.

About the second one, I think that the SisterLocation's map is actually a representation of how Afton connected his house with his "weird basement"; I mean: the maps on sister location about fnaf4 are not literal, but "simplified" or "intended" for making us to understand that Afton was watching out after "his family", and I would asume he was locking after the CryingChild; just because of the freadbear plushie we find on slocation's secret room. p.d.: I can not write in simple sentences, that's why I didn't pass the first exam jajajaj

The alternative explanation for the SL springlock suit 'not used, or at least not how it was meant to be used' could be that rather than being worn by a Freddy's worker, it was used expressly for killing someone by having the springlocks compress. In fnaf 3, phone guy says that the suits will be discontinued after 'multiple and simultaneous springlock failures' This could also be the identities of shadow Freddy and shadow bonny who were strongly thought to be springlock victims
