FNAF: Security Breach SOLVED! - Mimic Explained + Summary (Five Nights at Freddy's Timeline Theory)

[@HyperDroid]

I will admit, the Blob is frustrating lore-wise so I'm not even sold on the theory I'm proposing, but for now that's the safe-bet, considering Glamrock Freddy claims it's his "friends" in the Blob and "THEY'RE so angry" which is saying it's a group of people - which for now the MCI's are the only real "group" we know... not really sure, but hope we get new information soon! More UPDATED Timeline w/ Help Wanted, FNAF AR, Security Breach, Ruin and the Tales from the Pizzaplex books: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2rapo2CbMaAf7M But eitherway, hope you enjoyed and SUBSCRIBE if you're new! :D

[@thatfnafboy2656]

I don’t really like it because the hole security breach game was based of the Afton family I would feel weird add the mimic like that I do like how it’s used but I don’t like the burntrap mimic thing it doesn’t work if glitch trap was dictated how would that connect to burntrap I liked your old theory on burntrap but idk

[@SubZero-hs9xc]

​​@@thatfnafboy2656 personally i think The Mimic is tryng to mimic also Williams family. That why the service robots in the room And Vanessa and Gregory, he is tryng to re create

[@tomkubus]

Great video but I think you have something wrong, the storyteller happens around a year or 2 before fnaf SB, as it's after things like happs, but before things like ggy, and entomnhas confirmed that with the leaks all of that calendar calculation is pure bs, and just a coincidence as it's impossible timeline wise, wise SB happening 2028 at the latest

[@lucashampton6269]

All things considered, this is much more satisfying for the whole series. It lets FNAF6 still be an ending while the Mimic learns to emulate the evil things that Afton did. Which is a story point I would have much preferred over "Somehow, William returned."

[@Epsicronics]

Yeah can you imagine in like 3 more games if this was the case? William just returns as a sentient pile of god damn ash

[@izzytheartist4710]

The mimic is just steel wool obsessing over the past of tge franchise 😂

[@Megalaglag]

Exactly, it’s better because it shows that FNAF6 worked. The new fnaf games are now just out of a loose end that Henry didn’t plan for

[@pesterian41]

[@captainswagger2838]

A random robot that goes back ages lore wise but never appears is suddenly the big bad seems bit less satisfying than if afton was able to come back because of the vengeful spirit keeping him alive like that one story from the older books.

[@OldDeadAcct44]

Standing ovation. This is excellent. If true, this is big, and reveals Cawthon’s got the ability to stitch together a narrative. “Trust the process.” I also absolutely love how you’ve built up some smaller channels toward the end. MatPat’s gonna have a fit. Just when he thinks he’s out, they pull him back in! 😂

[@tonnentonie2767]

I liked matpats ultimate timeline,for once he didn't spend 10min of the video doing intro, selling us something, making bad jokes,etc. No, just straight to the point and the animation was cool. But the timeline just doesn't hold up to all the new theories.

[@jaredlewis3001]

Well then this aged well considering the e ending we got

[@incogtiino]

As cool as the theory and the concept of Mimic is, I'm getting a little sour to the fact we just keep getting lore in books released separately to the actual games. Like the routine of them making a game and then later half "explaining it" through books is just not as fulfilling as having it play out in the actual games. I hope the Mimic is at least explored in the DLC

[@Skibbutz]

That's steel wools fault for cutting the whole story out of security breach.

[@synettech5800]

I like the idea of the mimic, parallels can be drawn between the parent and child in the mimic story, and Henry and Charlie in The Silver Eyes novels, the parent building animatronics to play with kids. It also makes me think of the line from Elizabeth "Why won't you let me play with her? Didn't you make her just for me?"

[@adammartinez8061]

If This Mimic is the new villain of FNAF…….This just makes the Afton Boss Fight in Security Breach more eerie and creepier….The ambience really adds to it……..wondering who is this new threat? What is this new threat? It also makes you wonder what next? What’s the mimics next move after the Afton Boss Fight?

[@DjDeadpig]

Good theory, but I swear knowing this series, Scott and Steelwool will probably come up with an even more insane story.

[@blazichaos7181]

In their defense, mimic is pretty on-line, if not MORE tame then a lot of fan theories or even previous lore. Robot designed to mimick actions, it's infused with pain from a despairing father, witnesses the MCI and so starts mimicking said psychopathic/murderous behaviors (possibly spurred on more by the infused agony). Now people scan its circuit board because of its mimicking properties and its running rampant on the digital side. There's a decently solid through line of the story based on mimics mimicking properties. Bear in mind we're comparing this to things like, fan theories of 3 robot kids running around the place. Hell, id argue its a HELL of a lot more tamer than things like the fourth closet, with its nonsense like androids that can bleed and eat and sound illusion disks. I dont doubt it will get more insane, just that this is actually not THAT insane (compared to newer FNAF lore)

[@Majjiick]

I like the ideas of the Mimic and stuff but my main issue is it should of been told to us more in the games. I got into FNaF for the games and hidden lore they had so you can piece together the story, not reading some books to find it out.

[@Skibbutz]

That's steel wools fault for fucking up security breach so much. These books were delayed so give steel wool time to finish security breach, but they just cut everything and released a broken game.

[@CaelumRoxas]

This is literally the best and most well thought out timeline of events perfectly describing how the Mimic fits into the story. Great work! I really hope more people who question the Mimic sees this. Also, when it comes to the Blob, my theory is the Blob is made from the agony of the passed on souls after the events of FNaF 6, most specifically starting off with the agony left behind after Scrap Baby, Molten Freddy, and Lefty passed on, since we see the Blob reside exclusively in the Pizza Place. And it's possible that it's trying to collect and steal from the exhibits in the Pizza Plex, as the old animatronic parts stolen too contain agony from previous souls to have passed on throughout the FNaF timeline. The Blob is literally just a pure physical manifestation of agony that was left behind by all the souls of William's victims after they have all finally moved on and is just growing more and more into pure unbridled animalistic rage. Which is why it gets extremely angry at the sight of the Mimic, thinking it's William. Both Mimic and Blob are replicas of the murderer and the victims. I may be entirely wrong and I could be sounding crazy for this theory, but that's all I have for now in all honestly. My best guess is that eventually they'll reveal mind blowing information about the Blob through Tales from the Pizzaplex just as they did with GGY, The Storyteller, and The Mimic. Also, I personally don't mind the rest of the story for Security Breach being revealed through the books, and it's saddening that people just don't wish to accept that, leaving their questions to never be answered.

[@iranfire9355]

I'm following the books and i agree with your timeline, but there are some things i want to say. vanessa and gregory resemble afton's kids a lot, greg's look does match both david and the crying child(in the encyclopedia's art they even share the bandaids). this is why i think gregory and vanessa could have been chosen by mimic to recreate afton's family, maybe the staff bot family table is hinting that. I think that most likely gregory was infected by mimic when he played the balloon world arcade, it's a hidden minigame so it needs to have some relevance, and there are two of them, one of those is directly next to the mimic in the bossfight's office, pushing even further the connection to it being so glitched up and maybe directly controlled by mimic, there's also a bag message that informs us the arcade was previously somewhere else and not in the daycare attendant's room, thus meaning it used to be accessible and playable by the public. about the wall code, the shifting between edwin's speech about the mimic and then the player is not a problem in my eyes, maybe edwin, when he was dying, wrote it in hope fore someone to find out about the mimic and stop him; and the reason details like "crouch and shoot(with the fazerblast) are so precise about the gameplay is to help us understand the message is for the player. Now, the fact that it's in michael's room still bugs me, i just can't find a connection, but i think the room itself is just symbolic, and not actually there in the pizzaplex. I think the staff bot silo is real however, and i like your interpretation about the three styles of writing for three people, but i think it could also be that all the notes were written by the mimic, which was at some point in that room, and he remained there long enough to develop a better writing, from writing in bynary code, to completely readable words, narratively this could also give more personality to the mimic, making him no just a copy cat, but a robot that is genuenly becoming sentient and is developing two sides: mimicing david(as you pointed out, even as burntrap he still hold the plush) and mimicing afton(one note may be read as "you are afton family"). he could also have been the one to assemble the staff bot afton family table, and the one who disassebled the numerous nightare staff bots in the room. talking about nightmare, i'm surprised you didn't mention nightmarionne in the timeline, i think it's very likely that the puppet's agony is hunting the pizzaplex, the numerous puppet plushies and the staff bot hint that, and the nest of it seems to be the silo room, the doors are literaly called charliedoor in the files, i think that in some way(not necessarily physically) the mimic is "talking" to nightmarionne in some of the notes; but some suggest this other person might also be the ruin girl(becouse the chica shrine in the first part of chica's bossfight has some post-its of the mimic as well) or vanny. lastly about glamrock freddy, there are many hints that suggest he's possessed, and from a narrative point it makes completely sense, his role in the story is just too important to be just like the other bots. Initially i thought it was michael but now, seeing how every character we thought came back revealed be actual new characters(burntrap,gregory,vanessa), i'm starting to thing that freddy might be someone else, and i think he could be edwin; edwin is a very important character, a tragic one also, but his death in the storyteller felt very sad, however if he possessed freddy, he would have his opportunity to redeem himself helping gregory, which resembles his son(the same way many think mike is redeeming himself helping a kid that looks like the crying child), this would also explain why in the final bossfight he precisely calls the mimic "he"(and this is pointed out by gregory), showing he recognizes the mimic. i've seen people suggesting freddy could be the crying child becouse how he acts in the storyteller, but i think the reason of him acting so differently from the freddy we know was to show how he still wasn't possessed(and also i feel like bringing back CC would be even worse then bringing back afton, he should just rest with the other kids). Anyway great video as always, keep it up.

Honestly, the timeline and "burntrap" stuff feels 100% accurat. Everything else is notable at best. I just think this is for explaining what we actually see in Security Breach and maybe sorting out the timeline. You did great work mate, great job

[@Lemfern]

BTW about the post it room, i think mimic wrote mostly, he's basically a child because he mimicked David or even "worse" he's david, he got his soul when david died, or a piece of him. David or David side of mimic could have wrotten all of it. and what makes it more thought i can feel it can be talking about what Edwin did to him he could feel the pain, that's why Mimic does the David death pose he's feeling, suffering, his daddy is hurting him

[@akiiscool]

thats sad

[@42_violets]

I can't believe we were so stupid, it was obvious since the launch of Security Breach that a character we never knew existed created a program that was never mentioned that ran an animatronic we never saw which has been a part of this franchise the entire time, was the villain all along! God we really dropped the ball on this one, everyone. Great video! As upset as I may be about some story telling decisions in the franchise, you really did a wonderful job at working what we now know about the mimic into a coherent and satisfying story that sets up Security Breach. A pleasure to watch!

[@flickyfkosstitcher8547]

21:41 That's the accessories used for creating games on the Atari 2600 system, specifically the various games seen in cutscenes and arcade machines througout the franchise. For example, the car driving along the highway in Midnight Motorist is essentially just Grand Prix on the Atari 2600, down to the exact same speed meter and lap counter being used in both games.

[@jjrobotnik]

This actually explains the endo 01/02 in fnaf one and two their mimics endo 02 even mimics the others in going in the vents

[@Takejiro24]

Huh. Neat. Didn't even think about them.

[@ollieswabey3129]

There are just so many possibilities for the origins of the post it room. I don’t know which one to think about as the right answer because you make them all seem such likely answers.

[@Patchric]

Reasons I haven’t been fully sold on the mimic being Burntrap/glitchtrap 1: how would the mimic influence Vanny to follow it. with Afton being glitchtrap I always imagined that the glitchtrap virus was paranormal and wasn’t just Afton mind uploaded as a virus. The mimic has agony from being abused but I don’t see that translating to becoming brainwashing abilities. 2: How does Burntrap have human flesh and bone if it’s the mimic? The name “Burntrap” also implies that it was there during the fire that Henry created. But that doesn’t make sense with the mimic as we know it wasn’t there. 3: this would mean that Williams story would just end with him being trapped in a purgatory created by Cassidy. As far as we know Cassidy is still torturing William and hasn’t stopped. That would be a very weird place to leave those two characters as Cassidy would never have the ability to pass on to the afterlife. “Leave the demon to his demons rest your own soul” I would love to hear other peoples opinion and proof that I’m missing something. For some reason it seems more likely that the mimic is actually Vanny and it copied Vanessa’s personality instead and glitchtrap found the mimic and took control of it.

[@rickisnothome]

Burntrap as of the Official Character Encyclopedia is a non cannon title

[@Andreabr77]

Agree with you. I am not quite convinced too about the mimic stuff. And most of it is for faul of the paranormal stuff. If the Mimic is literally just an AI program created to copy Afton how does he has the supernatural ability to take control over people's mind. And how does Burntrap have the supernatural ability to hack Freddy just by touching a computer. A thing that would not be possible I'd the mimic is literally just an endoskeloton. Also Cassidy is not tormenting William anymore! She is in princess quest!!! And if she is not in UCN tormenting William, but instead inside a game, this also implies that William might have escaped inside fnaf Vr. That is why cassidy is there to follow him. In the frights is shown that William was still alive but he could not literally die beacuse the Vengful spirit attached himself to his soul. The same thing easily happened in the games and William might have found a way to escape trough the game. Also if Glitchtrap is the mimic, and everything he says are the things that he hears and mimic, how did he in the princess quest minigame said the line "I always come back". He would have never had the chance to hear Afton say that and then mimic it. Also you can see in the SB ending, that Burntrap is surrounded by purple fog and his eyes are pitch black with purple pupils, even if in the books they were described as white. Then the color purple is highly associated with Afton more than the mimic and all the shadowy fog surrounding him and the various purple textures on his body implies that, Even if Burntrap body is composed by the Mimic, Afton is obiouvsly possessing it. Also the thing about his arm, wich looks like he's holding a plushie looks really dumb to me. In fnaf 6 Scraptrap didn't have his arm, so the fact that Burntrap is keeping his arm could just be a sign of weakness.Thus would also explain his supernatural powers. Also the Fnaf books have never been a full replacement for the characters on the game considering that the 80% of the fnaf community don't even read the books. They were most of times created to solve a bunche lore pieces and give us evidences for plot holes. But revealing an entirely new character and his entire story In the books do not looks a good move to me. The majority of people still to these days do not even know who the mimic is. So to me, the possibility for Afton being both Glitchtrap and Burntrap is higher than the mimic. Although there is something that still disturbs me, the sticky note room wich seem to be highly connected to the mimic. So in the end is still possible that Glitchtrap is really the mimic ( a thing that I still can't see without having any paranormal elements in it ) but when he attaches Afton body to himself, he also carries with himself Afton spirit. Wich makes a lot of sense. I do think that the mimic played some role in SB but not in the big way a lot of people are interpreting it.

[@HartsyProtzy]

I’ve been waiting for a concise breakdown of these recent mimic revelations and this video really did a very good job! The mimic story is genuinely pretty cool and is a example of how compelling stories in this universe can be when well written

[@jxstmxlly3664]

[@Swouse72]

Does this mimic theory also confirm the random endo skeleton we see in the vents sometimes in fnaf 2 as being a mimic? I have not heard anyone really talk about the reason for it, but if it is a mimic then it makes perfect sense as it would just be mimicking the other animatronics

[@nazhaserydi3249]

Yeah, that makes so much sense! But I don't think so because The Mimic it's like a Glamrock Endo

[@nazhaserydi3249]

That endo appears in front of Puppet's box sometimes too

[@skippyshy6791]

I can not describe how badly I want this theory to be true. The idea of a new villain not being human at all in origin and not connected to the afton or Emily family directly is much needed. Honestly I was never a fan of glitch trap but the idea that glitch trap is not afton’s agony but is instead an animatronic filled with a “random” persons agony that is mimicing afton’s actions which is then in the other animatronics is so much scarier. I feel like this is a good direction for the series to go in. Transitioning the focus of the horror from the human now back to the animatronics themselves. Ahhh it gives me the goosebumps just thinking about. Pls steelwoal pls have this be true (and also actually put hints of this in the game so we can experience the villian in their true glory)

[@BelleVEX]

I think at this point, it's going to have to be accepted that these pizzaplex books are confirming/telling what's going on. I'd say think about the puppet a bit more. There are far too many references to it for it to be overlooked. Great vid!

[@blazichaos7181]

Honestly, I really like the idea of the Mimic, because similar to the agony theory of the blob, it puts aftons actual soul to... "rest" (see ultimate custom night). He's off the table. He's dead, but like any good twisted villain his legacy lives on. Its feels like an interesting version of the "serial killer copycat/cult" that some people theorised way back about the CEO/Vanny, its gives this kind of twisted phantom of purple guy. I do have some issues with it though, 1. the whole "they were actually at the pizza place's" thing, comes off as a "soft" retcon to fit them in, not actually changing anything, just inserting them in with no evidence from the games (to be fair theres no way in hell scott thought of mimic since the first or even 6th game). And 2. edward is a bit of a strange one in being a sudden "third player" (if not as important) robot making club along with William and Henry, could it be a metaphor for Henry? Maybe but it doesn't fit well, espically how edwards kid dies, just too far removed from Charlies death. And 3. I know this was basically agreed on long before, espically with GGY but it really is sad that it is NEEDED now to red the books to understand the game. 3.5. I guess you could feel said that this isn't actually william afton and is a entirely new villain, but to be fair, a lot of people were going "ugh, him AGAIN?" so kinda catch 22 there. I also dont think the mimic was in the post-it room, theres simply too much that doesn't make sense for me, compared to say for example, the charlie/robot kid theory. The name of the room is Charlie door and the post it notes of parties work a lot better for that, espically if its two people trying to communicate with eachother.

[@vincentmiller3607]

But how does the Mimic know William's signature catchphrase "I always come back" if it's just mimicking him through the information it received about the MCI and his past?

[@Andreabr77]

EXACTLY

[@moringlory23]

I think why we still have so many holes and missing information is due to the cut content from Security Breach. Originally we were gonna have 5 nights to explore the Mega Pizzaplex but that was cut. Vanessa played a bigger role but that was cut as well. The books are trying to fill in the gaps, but without those missing elements, we'll never get the clearest picture as the lore stands currently. I think the Blob was meant to build itself over the course of us playing the game. We would have heard more about children going missing over those 5 nights, maybe finding clues like the post-it room. But unless Steelwool drops or a modder adds all the cut content back, we'll never know.

[@GhostRose6500]

I like the idea and the concept of the Mimic, but my main issue is that it now seems to be behind everything we see in Security Breach. If this is the case it looks like the franchise is steering away from ghost stories and is now headed towards AI becoming sentient and finding purpose or whatever, and it makes the Blob and anything Puppet related like the Staff Bots and the Princess the only things considered haunted. Whatever the Mimic is, ot thinks it’s Afton now, that’s for sure. Now it is trying to succeed where Afton failed and be a better Afton William ever was.

[@skelebonez1349]

In all fairness this was where it’s always steering towards, it was steering more toward sci fi partiallt because it’s what Scott’s more into than those ghost stories. But who knows that could be easily integrated soemhow. For me while as amazing as this is, the big issue for me is more so how fnaf SB presented it with a narrative that should’ve made more sense than just “escape the mall” for a giant place like this.

[@plushdragonteddy]

i mean, the robot was given agony when it was strangled (or at least that’s implied), so it could still be a ghost in a way. still, it’s clearly mimicking william and not acting of its own free will(iam), so i suppose whether or not it’s actually super spooky and haunted inside won’t make a difference.

[@GhostRose6500]

True, SL was the catalyst for the sci fi side of Fnaf, and the books welcomed the concept of artificial souls into this franchise. Security Breach was a bit too big to be clean but they still could have done way more with it. No hate though, I like SB.

[@GhostRose6500]

I see your point, but I just can’t help how Burntrap was still portrayed to us as William’s digital soul haunting an improved version of his body in a way. Also I’ve been thinking about it all day and thought maybe the Mimic really is a ghost in some way. You know how the Endo skeletons in Fnaf 1 and 2 and how they move around? This maybe a stretch but they could be earlier forms of the Mimic, moving through the halls and vents, copying what the animatronics were doing, and it hasn’t attacked us because it didn’t see the other robots attack us yet.

[@plushdragonteddy]

@@GhostRose6500 god you’re right, someone haunting their own body is a rly cool concept lol. also, the endo idea is so neat !! i could totally see that being the case. i can’t imagine mimic was in the plan from that early on, but it’s really cool that the lore still fits!

Sounds like Mimic drew and wrote everything in the room from memory - so a possibly insane decades old AI that ran the full springtrap program at some point wrote stuff on the wall using it creator's code.

But only if the “players” know that going in and don’t have to keep banging their heads into a wall again and again…for almost 10 whole YEARS just to MAYBE figure out the storyline.

And here I was, thinking the mimic being on a tree that covers the pizzaplex meant that it was like a representation of the puppet, with the nightmarione-like cables that can be found being like roots around the pizzaplex, but it doesn't start with legs, as far as I know. On the other hand in charlie's death it seems like it reacts to charlie's death, like it already had thoughts, looking for her once it sees she's out and trying to find her, so it could be like the mimic seeing the things william has done, but this theory is just better (tbf as i have never played the games or read the books cuz tho i like lore i hate horror it's not like i expect my theories to be good XD)

[@MORNINGSTAR_PRODUCTIONS]

Could the mimic have written all of the post its and the increasing intelligence could be it learning? If we say the puppet is haunting the pizza plex, what if she’s talking to the mimic? The drawing of the girl being Charlie? The “it was for me” sounds very crying child which Charlie would’ve known about? If this was before Vanny started making the mimic into Afton surely it’s still fairly innocent- as in hasn’t had aftons programming yet. Charlie would’ve also been drawn to the agony?

[@official_wonnie]

6:10 Dawko may have found that spot for schematics, it's after you first help Freddy attach his head back in Maintenance where Gregory tells Freddy all about his friends having special attachments to aid them in their respectful jobs like Roxy's Eyes, Chica's Voicebox and Monty's Claws. on the wall are three schematics. These were probably hinted out because they would be endgame Freddy upgrades.

[@terrapinboy01]

Amazing video, but I’m a bit confused on the timeline. With the books it implies SB is set in 2029, it even matches a calendar in the game. Though there’s a photo frame in the game with the year 2035, also matching the calendar. So by 40 years is it rounding up to like 45?

[@BloodySkullx]

I still don't know how much we can trust the books without a clear and cut, 'They're apart of the lore', from Scott. I also doubt it was their plan all along to put the actual information into the books instead of the games due to the deadlines and having to cut all that content out. I'm still skeptical but lets be honest they were on a time crunch and sure they maybe used ideas left over for the books or maybe they didn't. All I know is that nothing will ever be 100% figured out. Love the theory but lets not conflate the books without a definite word from scott that they're 100% connected.

[@Skibbutz]

We litterally have a clear and cut "they're a part of the lore" from scott. In fact we have *Two* "The series will launch with five books, each containing three different short stories with unique characters and plot lines, *some connected directly to the games* , and some not" - a quote from scott cawthon announcing the fazbear frights books. In the first Tales book *Which are confirmed to be canon to the games* we get the story "Frailty", this story is a direct sequel to the frights story "To Be Beautiful" When the Tales from the Pizzaplex was first announced, they came along with a description which told us they were "Set in the same universe as the newest game" Now before you get worried that things like "Fazgoo" or "Fetustrap" are canon to the games. Don't worry, they're not. The only Frights stories which are canon to the games are the Stitchwraith Epilogues and the stories connected directly to them. (For reference this means the stories that are canon are: All Into the Pits stories Fetch Out Of Stock 1:35 am Step closer Dance With Me TMIR1280 All of Blackbirds stories The Epilogues And All of the Tales from the Pizzaplex)

Well,i think that burntrap and glitchtrap are Still William afton,its the safest thing to Say in the present, in the future things can Change but its more safe to Say they are William, or, Another good possibility : burntrap as the mimic endoskeleton and William possess it, só the mimic and William can coexist togheder by William controlling and possessing the mimic AI

18:11 all my friends could be a reference to the missing children/spirits maybe? One for the Puppet, two for the spirits in Golden Freddy, and four more for the main band. The numbers add up. And the Mimic has theoretically been around since FNAF 2--in fact, in FNAF 2, it only appears after the Puppet has left her box, meaning it probably lives in the box too. In fact, I think it witnessed the actual MCI at the FNAF 2 location. Edit: Of course, this means the Mimic wouldn't be writing those notes with his family. I honestly think the post-it notes were only written by two people, one being the Mimic and the other possibly being Jeremy. There's a whole fat theory out there about Jeremy in the Pizzaplex but I can't bother to find it right now lol.

The silver eyes also mentions March 13 being the twins birthday, explaining the party references. Also anyone else notice the hashes on the post-its matching the security logbook?

Could the voice we hear in the first trailers for SB have been removed due to it no longer actually being the real Springtrap? Or maybe they were a different voice and that was too much information before the books

That's likely the voice of Mimic. If it was William, it makes little sense to recast him with a different voice actor entirely at this point.

[@CaptainRickey]

I actually prefer the mimic as compared to the idea that Afton "somehow" was able to recreate himself digitally. But so many details in the game don't line up with the idea that the angry spirits of the past have moved on. Why is Vanessa here at all if it's not because she's an Elizabeth-replacement? (Just bringing the Afton virus isn't strong enough of a reason, considering that they could've just taken up a position at the bottom and be anonymous) Why are there nightmare plushies all over the place, why are the cables striped black and white, why is the door to the post-it note room called CharlieDoor, why are the staffbots downstairs looking like nightmare versions of their upstairs counterparts if it isn't Charlie controlling a bunch of smaller elements to the pizzaplex? Why is Glamrock Freddy giving this monologue about him not being himself in the final moments of the game, if it isn't him being Michael (or even Henry tbh, although I don't personally think it's the case)? Why is the bite of 83's minigame seemingly recreated with staffbots, why does Gregory hold a partially bitten off Freddy Popsicle, why does Gregory look like crying child, if it isn't him being a reborn (or rebuilt) version of the crying child? Why is the Afton family IN THAT POST-IT NOTE ROOM??? and for god's sake, why is the mother suddenly in the picture? Not even just there but at the head of the table? Who revived the company in the first place? Why is the building built over the old pizzeria? If you're really strapped for cash just bulldoze it all down and start over, no? Also what's with the whole "2035" that's listed in SB? Is that not when SB occurs? Or are they just making things up now about 6 years into the future?

[@haidynsworld3820]

I have a theory that the events of VR Help Wanted took place before security breach because it's mentioned in the game that we play as a beta tester named Vanessa and as far as I'm concerned there is only one Vanessa in the FNAF universe the Vanessa insecurity breach so my theory is that William Afton was looking for any way to return into a physical form and that's when he found Vanessa can you tell control of Vanessa's mind and turned her into his puppet and after that was done Vanessa landed a job as a security guard for Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza Plex a location built over the top of afton's final resting place the pizzeria he burned up inside back in Pizzeria simulator making the mega Pizza Plex the ideal location for the third phase of afton's diabolical plan to transfer from a trapped soul in Fazbear's software systems to a physical entity within an animatronic host once more

[@pajis_xd]

I Just want to know one thing Afton died in fnaf 6 and became trapped in a purgatory (UCN) and later during HW and SB this Mimic character simply learns About him, takes on his appearance and goes on with its day? Is this right? And is Afton actually dead since fnaf 6 ? Thats what I want a simple yes or no answer to I guess I was right 😂

[@Sing87eh]

Yes afton is dead

[@marcgid1174]

I like all of it, especially with the idea of the mimic replacing Afton but back again, but couldn’t it be possible that the mimic program might have first appeared in the original Endo skeletons and that’s how it saw everything? I think that would make a mimic, feel a lot more personal, and integral to the story as it was there at the very beginning, and it would make it feel less shoehorned. However, my major problem with this is more so from just my own perspective but I can’t say I’m happy with the idea of a totally new and random character being the reason for everything within security breach. I do want a new characters but I still want to feel like that there is some continuity between the story and the last saga, other than the fact that it’s just the name fazbear.

[@fazbearentertainmentincorp1258]

@@creeperboom9813 i don’t think that. I believe that most stories of the TFTPP books are in the continuity of the games, except for Frailty, B7 and Help Wanted. Edwin and Henry are 2 seperate Characters. Both obviously very important. But by this point i believe that Henry is gone. So is Edwin, when he died in the Storyteller tree. The only one i still think is here is William, possibly Charlie (not as a Human robot) and maybe some of the MCI and DCI, but thats it. As for Mimic (both the Mimic1 Program and Mimic Endo) i think they do exist and are both being used to some extent by William (as Glitchtrap), and if you think about it, it would be an incredible Asset to William, as, he can use the program (which functions as sort-of a Hive Mind) to the Entire Pizzaplex, and like that he can control everything easier. And the endo is still a Murder machine that can be, to some extent, “fed” on Agony.
