Been a follower/silent viewer on my alt for awhile but- God your rant about the discourse surrounding lore is REAL I posted my first ever FNaF lore video with a jokey/clickbait title just last week about how Matpat was wrong about something (but clarified it wasn’t an attack in the actual video and was done solely to feature memey art a mutual made of me in front of a projector with “Matpat is wrong” on the screen) and even though 90% of the whole video was me just summarizing things from the books and games and how some things overlapped/connected, not even making any serious claims or outlandish theories, I’ve gotten several comments putting down and even challenging/pushing against some of what I said if not just putting ME down in general. With some even bringing up stories from the next Tales book I’d stated in video to have only read Dittophobia leaks from since it’s not released in the states yet.

One thing I wanna mention about the Brazil ending is that it’s entirely possible that Cassie died and is living a “fake afterlife” of sorts in the Vanny mask. In one of the Tales from the Pizzaplex stories, Under Construction, a girl named Maya sneaks into an unfinished VR booth and ends up having the VR booth simulate her life for over a year. In another story, Cleithrophobia, It’s shown the VR booth is smoking, so it’s likely something went catastrophically wrong and killed Maya in the VR. Maya even tries to die in the simulation, but can’t. A similar thing could have happened to Cassie in the Brazil ending, She puts on the Vanny Mask, Mimic kills her, and the mask simulates what should be her life from that point on, with Gregory free and happy. This doesn’t really account for the panicked breathing though. Just something to think about.

I'm on Team Mimic Did It but I won't completely ignore the idea that Gregory could've done it. He's been shown to be a by any means necessary type of person and after learning about what really happened to Vanessa, he'd take that attitude up again. If he had to choose between saving one person and saving many people, including himself? Yeah. Not to mention that FNAF always has to have an element of tragedy to it. Having Gregory kill one of his few friends, kill Cassie who showed him so much loyalty because of just how they met in the first place is pretty damned tragic. I think Steel Wool is waiting on the fandom's overall reaction to decide what to do next with Cassie's fate. They used the fandom's reaction to help put together Ruin so it makes sense that they'd do it again.

Because the princess quest ending seems to be the one thats hinted at being the actual canon ending, that means that Gregory would have never went down that elevator in the burntrap ending in the first place. Which means it was no ones fault the elevator dropped. If you recall, Freddy said that the elevator looks to only be capable of making one trip down, and if Gregory never used the elevator that means when Cassie went down the first time, that was it, she used her one trip.

My guess for why theorizing has gotten so rotten could be because of how confusing the story has gotten, then when someone finally has an idea people like, and someone else has another idea, they don’t wanna hear it because that means they’ll have to rethink everything again. I also think it could just be people taking the story more seriously than they used to. Back when all we needed to figure out was who murdered some children and when he did it. Now it’s us trying to figure out stuff like how this world works, when certain restaurants opened and closed, character’s personal issues, and still having to figure out which characters are which, but having it be a lot less clear, and a lot more confusing and contrived.

From what I can guess, Yellow eyed Helpi seems to be a Mimic software attached to the original Helpi software, but partially separated from the physical Mimic. So it kind of has its own mind despite gaslighting for the same goals, so it can argue with the physical Mimic as it's own being while kind of being attached by a base code. Sort of like the Glamrock except probably less unique overall.

So why would he all of a sudden change his mind and just drop the elevator on her? Plus, he literally said he wasn’t at the Pizzaplex. So yes, I do think that it was the Mimic who dropped the Elevator.

Vanessa is the one who sends Gregory to the first of Patient 46 and her tapes. Which means on some level, she knows him. Second. Gregory is brainwashed by the Storyteller, which means GGY/Glitchtrap probably blocked out the knowledge after the Glitch at the beginning of Security Breach. So, Gregory is GGY until the beginning of the base game. Gregory dropped the Elevator to bait the Mimic away so The Mimic wouldn't try to turn him back into GGY. The Mimic will go down inside of the shaft instead of up now, to get Cassie, their injured victim. And we don't know for sure Gregory isn't nearby. And finally, the VANNI network implants you with a wireless device in your brain which allows the Mimic to hear and track you. Gregory has one because he was GGY. Which means if the MIMIC or it's software gets near Gregory, They can literally hack his brain.

Re: Mimic co-conspirator, I feel like a likely candidate for this character role would be the Blob/Tangle. They were near the Mimic's area in the basegame, and are near the place where Cassie finds the Roxie Talkie in Ruin. Similar to Helpi, they are also a Funtime Freddy derived characters, and so it would kind of make sense for them to overtake Helpi. Not sure why they wouldn't just break the Mimic out, considering they might just be the physically second strongest character currently around, but I guess their partnership might be based on mimic-takeover and the mimic might not trust its own abilities enough to risk being in a room with them (which seems sensible given how easy it was to knock Freddy and Vanessa "out of it"). Alternatively, depending on how much the mimic is into not breaking keyfabe (which appears to be 'very') mimic might have already been starting to copy Gregory, and Gregory wouldn't go near the Blob, because the Blob is a living monument to heavy machinery related fetal workplace incidents. This would also sort of explain why it keeps roasting the mimic, as if it has any amount of sapience it must probably have recognized that the mimic is a bit of a goofy goober and gotten tired of its overly convoluted ideas, and could be how the strange teleportation nonsense happens, as the Blob is filled with magic pain juice. Furthermore, this adds the rather funny possibility that when Helpi says "I did this and that to the Antivirus", Tangle was just slinking into some random place and aggressively typing away at a physical keyboard. Ultimately, I am not sure if this is true whatsoever, but it fits well enough to me, so I'll keep it as a headcanon until one of the sequels refutes it.

The mimic program (glitchtrap) reuniting with its physical self was really interesting how they combated when wanting to take the credit to momentarily banishing MXES. Poor Cassie has the virus implanted in her since that’s what the virus did in the beginning of the game the moment we got the mask. I think the only way of officially defeating the virus is to destroy the mask since it’s locked out the pizzaplex system.

I think the details of the Brazil ending can still be interesting. The ending of Brazil showed someone breaking from reality and getting an absurdly schmaltzy happy ending... so what we see in the Brazil ending is, in theory, something that Cassie would consider to be a happy ending. So while I don't think the ending is real, I think every element of it is probably something that Cassie knows and feels very comfortable with. So that might mean that, as well as having met Gregory, she's also met Vanessa and Frelpy (yes, I'm going with that).

I feel like the reason that theorizing has become such a toxic waste land at times is because of just how vague the story of FNAF has become (likely intentionally). In the earlier days of FNAF there were mysteries but it was still grounded in many known facts, so the theories really just filled in gaps rather than telling the full story for the game. However now we know so little for sure that every theory in a way feels like a different story to tell, so people tell the story that they think works best and don't really want to hear another version. Additionally, I've noticed a trend of going back into the 1-6 era of the story and theorizing about things that change that part of the story which will anger people who already like the original story. Another is also there's a category of theories now that just don't matter, like who killed Bonnie. It does nothing to know so who cares? Who is the CEO of Fazbear now? Well all we need to know for the story is what they do so that doesn't really matter either. This means that there is more room for head canons which get people VERY upset if that is challenged. And to go off of that with my final point is that many theories now deal with characters that have personalities, so if something happens to them it becomes a war between people who love and people who hate the character (*COUGH* if Monty murdered Bonnie *COUGH*). So yeah that's my analysis on what theorizing has become way less fun

I've always leaned towards the Gregory dropping the elevator idea. Some people say it would be cruel or out of character for him. Since he isn't under anyone's control like he was in GGY. But I personally think Gregory(despite all of the cuts that happened in game) shows that while he is still caring, he's also able to lie and manipulate to get the outcome he wants. Despite thinking that Freddy is his friend, he blatantly lies about harming people he considers to be his friends to his face and then brushes it off as unimportant. Now, do I think that Gregory is wrong for doing this? No. They are attempting to harm him and destroying them prevents them from harming him. However, Freddy also states that there's something unusual going on and that they don't normally act like this. Implying to Gregory that they could possibly be under thr control of something or experiencing some kind of glitch that alters their personality. Despite that, Gregory kinda just brushes past it and says they're "getting what they deserve". A lot of fanon interpretations seem to be based on two extremes. That Gregory is a sunny cinnamon roll who could literally do nothing wrong or that he's a heartless, manipulative person who does whatever he has to do to survive. I don't think either extreme is who Gregory is. I think he cares about people and genuinely wants to help out where he thinks he can(like when he doesn't want to leave because it will mean more kids might go missing). But I also think that there are some darker elements to his character and moments where he puts himself first and is open to lying or manipulation to get what he wants. He's not a sunshine cinnamon roll. But he's not a monster either. He has layers. And I hope they do more with him. Especially since Cassie thinks he(or he may actually have) betrayed her and Roxy(or the Mimic) is now stuck down there with her. There are many ways this plotline could go.

Exactly I hope it was Gregory as I would also cause the story to have a beat continuation as vanny teams up with the mimic for revenge and if a future game is that carnival place I just hope it’s a theme park and all old animatronics are there but Cassie and the mimic have the animatronics there to tear the place down and hunt Gregory but now making them do it by force but have it be due to friendship. Also I maybe would add Cassie dad being down there from the matpat theory as it makes sense for him to be the kid in the Bonnie mask in fnaf 4 and then the whole technician route he went down due to the bite of 83. But Cassie her dad the mimic and other animatronics from the pizzaplex team up to get revenge and try to ruin the name of fazbear entertainment and free the animatronics and let them live human lives. Also I like the idea of Gregory being a bit of a duck adding some character

While I agree that Gregory definitely has the capability to do some things that are outlandish, I don’t think he had an actual reason to drop Cassie down the elevator shaft, thus I don’t think he did it. Why would Gregory willingly betray and hurt (and potentially kill) his best friend when she was about to escape the Mimic, just because there’s a CHANCE the Mimic will follow her out? Gregory obviously has proven he can decommission other animatronics. With the help of Vanessa, even if Mimic managed to get out the same way Cassie would’ve if she didn’t get dropped, I would think they would be able to stop him pretty easily. And I think Gregory would’ve realized that. Plus, everyone completely ignores the fact that Gregory isn’t in the Pizzaplex, at all. So how would he have even made the elevator fall? Not trying to be passive aggressive, but I don’t think Gregory learned magic after he escaped in Security Breach that lets him teleport into the Pizza Plex and all the way down to where Cassie and The Mimic were to cut the cables holding the elevator up, lmao.

I swear mimic is body switching. The more and more I look at the connections in the books to the games the more I am convinced that Gregory got trapped inside the mimic like Alec and the lonely freddy. They made it a point again and again in Fazbear Frights that body switching with an animatronic is not only possible but probable. Tales from the pizzaplex has focused on the manipulation of perception (like the Vanni mask and the tiger rock story) which definitely shows up in ruin. The books obviously have an effect on the games if mimic exists at all within ruin and the frights and tales books make it very clear. I think Gregory never made it out of the sinkhole.

I'd be curious to know if when you deactivate every wet floor bot and got see glamrock bonnie with disabled eyes instead of yellow eyes, if it might make yellow eye helpi stop appearing. since we almost for sure know that MXES is a security system that is running off of bonnie's code, trying to stop Cassie and protect the holding place of The Mimic, then what if Helpi is a less aggressive tool that MXES/Bonnie could be also trying to use in tandem, it meshes well with the fact Helpi never directly addresses there is a threat unless it's immediately threatening to himself and how Greggory can supposedly help helpi by updating the code, as he could possibly be at the MXES secutiy computer at that time. (Gregory actually could have been in the pizza plex until the very end?) this isn't a new thing where things pretend to be friends in this series, as well as helpi/ helpy, or hand unit almost never directly address any real threats, even Freddy has a hard time doing so at first. the other thing that's weird is the way you acquire the vanni mask, it's given a by a mask/map bot who also has ears, and he seems perfectly poised to give it to you, a set up from the start...intresting

I think that Gregory most likely did drop the elevator as evidence against it people use is asking “How can he drop the elevator from afar?” But to me that’s not valid I mean he could somehow get another walkie talkie connected but not able to connect to the elevator. Additionally I don’t think they have that much range, I mean the Roxy talkie is bugging out a lot while playing probably due to the distance from the surface level to the underground. So it only makes sense for Gregory to be close to the elevator and all as when he’s talking it’s very clear. Additionally I don’t think mimic would be able to use the elevator speakers due to not using the pa speakers in the pizzaplex or any time earlier. Before anyone mentions the security system stopping him he would of had time from its deactivation and Cassie getting in the elevator to cut it down. Points about the power box also don’t make sense as he would of unplugged it to make it fall and have him climb up the wall or wires. Finally why would there even be access to cut the elevator wires from the area of the prisoner? It would obviously be on the outside of the containment area as if they somehow get in it you cut the wire traping them.

Force the help to come down there with her, then it can grab BOTH of them at once... And if it wants to escape? It has at least *three* possible methods: - Go back, use the Elevator Car Cassie came from. - Pry open the door, get through the smashed elevator, climb up the shaft. - Go back, get into the elevator's shaft, and climb up. What Greggory did: - Kills Cassie, a potential ally against the Mimic. - Merely slows the Mimic for a few minutes more, it WILL still escape. - Throws away a good chance to possibly kill or damage the Mimic further, not allowing *it* to get in the Elevator and get pancaked instead of Cassie.

I genuinely believe Helpi is more than meets the eye - with his chronic glitches, they look similar to the corruption Afton manifests, and while you could say; ‘well it may just be because the whole Plex is under disarray after Afton’s reign & his AI is probably still littered with some malware’ I like to believe Helpi could be him manifested as another chance at life - as we never see him die in the ending, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he transported to the virtual realm again(as it’s what he’s known for, 4th times the charm ig). Even if that’s just a little theory, it adds more to his funky little character. I’m glad we got to see more of Helpi this time ‘round.

I like to believe that Helpi the liar is glitchtrap and Grimic is obviously the regular Mimic.

It makes sense that if Glitchtrap is alive (which makes sense since he is a virus, he likely has other hosts both in hardware and people) then he would want the mimic free. One reason he could want to release mimic is because the mimic may be his intended next host or maybe the mimic could be a sort of smokescreen to disguise his presence. I also really like the idea of these two teaming up and I hope this is the way they go.

I made a theory a bit ago about the Brazil ending where I guessed that Gregory, Vanessa, and Helpy are supposed to represent Mimic, Vanny, and Glitchtrap respectfully. Mimic as Gregory is easy, Mimic spends the entire game pretending to be Gregory, but the other two are a bit harder, namely in that Glitchtrap and Vanny are both gone as of the princess quest ending, but maybe not. Originally my logic for Helpy being Glitchtrap was just that Helpi was controlled by Mimic and Glitchtrap is the digital form of Mimic, but then I thought about a detail in ruin I thought was odd, but might have a good reason to be there. There is rabbit imagery all over the Pizzaplex that wasn't there in base Security Breach, namely in Mask Bot and the wind-up music men. It must be there for a reason, and even if who could've done it in-universe is hard to figure out the out-of-universe reason is more important. The rabbit imagery in base Security Breach was all there because of Glitchtrap, who is the Mimic1 program uploaded into the entire Pizzaplex, meaning it is possibly even separate from Mimic at this point. Glitchtrap is the only thing connecting Mimic to rabbits, so I think the rabbit imagery is there to give the idea of Glitchtrap not being as dead as we thought. Vanny being there is even harder to prove, as Vanny was the name given to Vanessa under Glitchtrap's control, and Vanessa was freed. I haven't read the books, and it's been a while since I've watched a video about any of them but the most recent, but I do recall one book confirming Gregory to be Patient 46, and yet in-game he recalls none of it (as far as I'm aware). That almost directly states that being under the control of Glitchtrap gives you an alternate personality with its own set of memories that takes over to do Glitchtrap's bidding. I have no evidence for this idea, it's just a thought, but what if freeing Vanessa somehow meant that the Vanny alternate personality was trapped in the system (or it's just Mimic/Glitchtrap remembering Vanny and doing what it does best, which is more likely now that I think about it more. But if I'm right about my initial idea, it would mean that Vanny could return in some way while also having Vanessa be around. This isn't even speculation, it's just a fun idea, but one possible idea is a bare endoskeleton wearing the Vanny mask. It's still not Vanny's potential, but that potential is long gone, so it's as good of an idea as any (that's a lie Vanny as she was in Security Breach was an idea and look what that did to her)). (Come to think of it, was it ever confirmed that Glitchtrap was defeated in the princess quest ending? All we saw in that ending was a scream from the Glitchtrap box, then Vanessa was no longer Vanny, and the STAFF bots were lying dead on the ground for some reason. It is possible that all that did was separate Vanny from Vanessa. Again, I have no evidence for this, it's just a thought)

He just doesn't have the means nor the mentality of murder that Funtime Freddy had. It's always been an interesting little detail, that he sort of feels like a non-threatening Funtime Freddy, bringing back a fan favorite for a few extra points.

there's one thing that all grand youtube theorists keep overlooking, but some viewers just pointed out: there are TWO elevators. the one Cassie used to get down to the underground lair and the one that Mimic destroys. knowing that, shouldn't we wonder the following: WHY DID GREGORY NOT LEAD CASSIE BACK TO "HER" ELEVATOR??? WHY DID HE LEAD HER TO THE WRONG ONE??? and I think the answer is clear: because it wasn't Gregory from the beginning. IF it had been Gregory, he had known the layout of the underground lairs und could have easily lead Cassie back to her elevator while making the Mimic losing track of her.

Wow, who thought a cute lil guy like Helpi can not be as trustworthy as he seems! Amazing vid as always, NotRealName! Keep up the great work!!❤️❤️❤️

A bit off topic, but I think Ruin missed a great opportunity to add into the theme of trust. It would've been both cool and creepy af, if Afton could also have tried to 'help' Cassie, whilst also trying to compete with the mimic and escape himself. It would've shown something similar to how he lured his victims way back before he got springlocked and add in an equally creepy antagonist. And because fnaf is supposed to be a horror game at it's core, I'd actually make a bad ending the Canon ending, restarting the cycle.

Would've said that Mimic and Glitchtrap are two different entities, while coming from the same source. Glitchtrap had to get some help as MXES was interfering too much.

Another piece of evidence towards Evil Helpi not being The Mimic is that when Cassie's going through a bunch of portals M.X.E.S rushes her but then gets interrupted after which Helpi says he saved her but then Grimic butts in saying he helped in a not so friendly tone, what I think this implies is that they both saw an immediate emergency and individually rushed to save Cassie, Grimic saw Helpi who's responsible for putting his best way out of there in danger taking credit and spiteful as he is couldn't not speak up despite doing so making his lies even less believable, cause up to that point and even after Grimic stays mostly consistent in the lie of not knowing where Cassie is (she always tells him her location before he starts guiding her through that location), If Cassie wasn't panicking then Grimic's completely unnecessary remark would've ruined his whole plan and I don't think he would've risked all his credibility arguing against himself.

Oh oh about the Radio being in Mimics room Gregory and Vanessa could have used it to lure the Mimic into that room. Gregory also left behind a backpack belong to him in the MXES room

Actually, that's a really good point!

Given that in the walkway (where MXES is temporarily banished) Helpy and fake Gregory seem to bicker a bit, the two are probably different entities. And since the only pure digital villain in recent times is Glitchtrap, I believe that he is the evil Helpy. Regardless of whether he is a program based on the Mimic or not, he still could have reason to screw people over and help release murderous robots

I feel like the yellow eyed helpie isn't THE mimic (unless it was able to duplicate its programming and put it in the system, birthing it's own twin that later becomes it's own entity? But why wouldn't the mimic just do that itself?) Because they argue. It feels like a lot of fans are forgetting about the whole *haunted* aspect of things. Can it be the vengeful spirit? It would totally want to mess with the remains of glitchtrap (which I think blue genie bunny is the remains of, just reprogrammed to be an antivirus, based on the iconic head tilt hand wave) and the vengeful spirit is kind of a jerk in the books... just a thought
