Precisely why I will forever say fnaf3 was the perfect ending to the original story (if anyone asks: i don't consider fnaf 4 to be an ending, it is a prequel, that finally explained the why the purple guy even became a thing perfectly, in my eyes fnaf 4 complements fnaf 3's ending even more because it makes me hate the purple guy even more which makes the fnaf3 ending even more satisfying.)

@@EighmyLupin pizza sim was a pathetic joke of an ending, not only is it just fnaf 3 again, it created what are quite literally the most boring characters of this franchise with the most clunkyest introductions I've ever seen in my life, ever.

[@Gova_01]

I've always thought that Springbonnie was actually just called Bonnie, with the first name being used by the employees to talk about the suit with spring locks. Fredbear was replaced with Freddy due to the accident. But Springbonnie was never related directly to the accident, so they just changed the color of the suit without much rebranding. By the time the name of Springbonnie was tainted with Afton legacy, most people probably forgot about him or they don't consider them the same character anymore.

[@xspranp7649]

FNAF 4 has a child calling him Spring Bonnie, which confirms that Spring Bonnie was infact his mascot name.

[@ChaoticCooper]

@xspranp7649 In FNaF 4, the new Bonnie was already created, so no, that would mean he was also just nicknamed that to customers

[@MobDraws69]

[@Shift_Salt]

I feel like the "Male, female?" thing was generally just a gag about the Bonnie line since some debated OG Bonnie based on the name and then Toy Bonnie seeming more cutesy also had people wondering. Mangle ain't the only one with that history in the fandom.

Also fitting considering the other animatronics straight up jump at you and scream; like angry tantrum-throwing toddlers, as they’re possessed by dead kids that want their revenge, whereas Springtrap’s jumpscares in FNAF 3 are slow and a lot more calm, as he’s possessed by a full grown man that, although way more mature, has sinister intentions.

Into the pit kind of sounds like it might go the same way.

@@peytonmac1131 Into the pit is its own thing like the rest of the fazbear fright's stories. So it's not in the same vein as them bringing characters back. Besides the whole thing about the kids, a lot of the characters in the story are exclusive to the story.

Yes!!! As he's my favorite character, I'd love to see that. He's a fan favorite so im sure everyone else would like it too. Maybe in the fnaf 2 movie December of 2025, we'll get some much needed backstory and flashbacks. Though,, the original Afton family isn't really present in the movie universe sadly, it still could give us some answers

[@Bonk-sf1wm]

When you think about it, it's like springbonnie got his revenge. William used him to appeal to kids, hide his identity and true personality, and then relied on him for protection from the ghosts. In a way, springbonnie turned on him when he was needed the most and from then on became a physical representation of William's mind: rotten, twisted, disturbing. When William hunts you in fnaf 3, he can't pretend to be a cute friendly character anymore, or even an innocent man. He has to evade your defenses if he wants to get you. And becoming springtrap has robbed William of almost all his humanity. Also, an interesting detail I noticed is that when springtrap attacks from the left, his eyes widen and look you over very briefly. I wonder if it's expression of excitement and thrill, or if it's applied to modern lore, surprise when he recognises Michael or Henry.

[@jackbrassington3489]

I think what make Bonnie unique is that he’s a bunny animatronic not possessed by William. He’s a free agent who can vibe with Freddy and a the gang.

[@Zaxon_Rapial]

You know I see people joking about how Springbonnie is just his fursona but there is some truth to the statement. I know some furries that act completely differently when they wear their fursuit just out of the confidence boost they get. While I'm not one for fursuiting myself, I do get the same feeling when I start writing. Of course with that said the whole concept of not knowing who is under that costume is pretty disturbing... if only that wasn't true in the real world.... Anyway a personal theory I have is that Afton used springbonnie as a form of escapism which eventually got to his head with the success he got from the restaurant. He genuinely believed that people loved him and because of this his ego shot through the roof. Of course when he starting offing kids and got away with it, it just confirmed everything he thought about himself, he was unstoppable. Of course that left him with one desire, to become springbonnie and we all know how that turned out. I view it like a wish from a monkey's paw. Of course that is just me mostly head canoning, but I personally believe it is a far better story then the whole, vengeful father thing people try to stick William as. I genuinely believe that Afton would be a great character if they leaned more into the idea that he is obsessed with the character he's made and wants others to feel the same way he does. To never struggle or face hardship. Maybe even be the family he always wanted, not the broken and divided one he has already. But what do I know. I'm just a furry.

[@peytonmac1131]

Doesn't even have to be fur suits. Just see how people act in VR games like VRChat. Being around people, but having that anonymity is a great confidence booster.

The spring Bonnie found in help wanted it’s another reason why I hate the mimic twist so much every time I tell someone that the mimic was not planned they act like I’m crazy when the game has hints like this.

I feel this. Also, the mimic is. Never explained in the games themselves either?? It's a problem created by the books, because if you don't read the books, there are really no hints or confirmation as to what the mimic actually is. I watched a whole playthrough of Ruin but haven't read the books past the first series, so when people in this fandom bring up the mimic in their conversation, I'm left to feel like I missed something important.

[@ladypangaea4801]

Imagine being a kid that loved going to Fredbear's and whose favourite character was Spring Bonnie. It'd be so depressing to learn about the murders and how the character's reputation of Fredbear's trusty friend became tarnished. Even if the company managed to cover up some things, there'd still be people spreading rumors about what really happened (like we see in FNAF 4). It would really make you second guess buying that super rare vintage Spring Bonnie plushie off of Ebay.

[@wendigo_gamer_9662]

To be honest if Spring bonnie were in UCN i think a voice line of his after he has killed the player would go something like this: "You took EVERYTHING from me, how about i return the favor!"

[@christophergirardi8145]

And it uses Afton's "bonnie voice" the voice he probably used when he and Henry entertained the kids. Hinting at the path not chosen of being a big name in entertainment had William not lost his son and killed Charlotte.

after you mentioned william having a alter ego inside the suit this made me remind about something, william to springbonnie is like how jekyll is to hyde, because in the original version of the story from the books, jekyll and hyde are the same people and not two different personalities, jekyll only used hyde to do things he didn't have courage to do before, until it latter backfired on him

[@Gabriel_KRTT]

Honestly, the way the Afton acts with the suit reminds me of how Michael Myers acts when it comes to his mask in the modern movies.

[@maroonai]

(the movie is obviously a separate continuity but) the kids calling him The Yellow Rabbit (which i adore) implies Spring Bonnie was already discontinued at the time of the incident, like the kids don't know who he is. of course it's also possible that that's just his name in that universe but i strongly doubt it.

[@ChaoticCooper]

My theory on Springbonnie's name is that he was simply just Bonnie until Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was made with the new blue Bonnie. So afterwards, he was just nicknamed Springbonnie (likely by the company/higher ups) to seperate the 2 characters. It'd be odd to reference the springlocks in the name of a character, so this makes the most sense.

[@jose_rgu]

I always thought that Springbonnie was possibly referencing the Easter bunny, basically the same name but with a little twist since Easter takes place in Spring

[@xspranp7649]

He's called Spring Bonnie by customers too, look at the FNAF 4 NPCS.

[@ChaoticCooper]

@xspranp7649 FNaF 4 takes place when Fazbear band was already created, ofc. So that means he was also nicknamed that to the public.

[@EpikTopW]

My headcanon is that William's old suit was burnt in the FNAF 3 fire and he had to find another Springbonnie suit just to give his mangled corpse something more to hold itself together. It explains the different withering and different body shape, because this was likely an older suit.

[@luceliorodrigues7504]

My head canon is that "Spring" in Springbonnie refeers to the season. The bunny of the spring!

[@Luna_nasar]

Silver eyes is by far my favorite portrayal of affton. I like how his motivation isn't loss or somthing like the games but that he's just genuinely a sick and twisted envious individual. He's a completely dif char in the games.

Very happy to see some springbonnie appreciation, as he's my favorite character The only sad part is that his whole character trait is being a suit for William, the poor guy doesn't even have a personality :(

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

God, if Springbonnie ever gained consciousness as it's own animatronic, and fused with William the same way in canon, he really would be the first victim. Being used as a serial killer suit but unable to stop it because of your rudimentary programming, used to kill the kids you were meant to entertain and be friends with. Horrible. Honestly, same with Fredbear and the bite, gaining his own consciousness as soon as the bite happens, separate from the child but completely unable to fathom what had happened. Regardless of if Fredbear had the crying child's exact consciousness or had his own like Baby did with Elizabeth. If Henry made William that jealous from making animatronics that had heart and love in them, with potentially all a little soul and emotion, then the potential of SpringBonnie and Fredbear having memories or consciousness is legitimate possibility. Especially with the Mimic being potentially from even before Fredbears, even if rudimentary it's still a soul of sorts. Robots have the same memories as people, and agony can make the shadows potentially, so like there's several hints to souls and life being in humans, animals, plants, literal blobs of shapeshifting emotion, and robots in this franchise. I love how both off the wall and existential the series is, even in the implications that are basically glossed over every game with just enough answers to keep us hooked. They got a system going, like the Pokemon Company's three year cycle and steadily changing creature design conventions.

Also I had this idea of what if the springbonnie programming could temporarily take over and causes springtrap to act like how the animatronic was made to be.

[@BasicallyBaconSandvichIV]

Considering it's quite likely that eithet William made the suit or the suit was made for him, it seems that Spring Bonnie was doomed from the start in universe as well. Quite tragic really.

[@auintus4619]

5:20 Something tickled my brain here. The original Jekyll and Hyde, if I recall correctly, was similar. The potion didn't bring about a split personality, it just gave Jekyll a disguise in which to be his worst self. And then the conclusion was somewhat similar, being trapped in the form they used to escape the consequences of their actions, albeit in extremely different ways. Probably completely unrelated, but I thought I'd mention.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

William does elaborate on the whole 'risking it with the springlocks' thing in TSE, to be fair. When he's monologuing to Carlton about how he survived the unsurvivable (and given he's described as having lost most of his weight since and seeming kind of dead when not interacting with someone, maybe he did die in that suit and just kept his body running through possession or something), he explains that a suit left to the elements for years will indeed trip on a hair-trigger, much like that mentioned in FNaF 3, but one kept maintained - such as William's own golden Bonnie suit, there - is fairly safe. And, indeed, he takes hits and moves a lot but the locks remain firmly locked, which makes more sense than the ramblings in 3 for an item that is going to be worn by a dancing performer around hyperactive children in a place serving food and drink. The suits described in 3 are likely quite run-down, given new people are having to be trained for this regardless, hence their significantly heightened danger. Charlie has to reach in and manually open one of the locks, which seems to trip the whole thing by a sort of rube-goldberg-esque system in the joints or something, which makes a bit of sense given the joints do need to lock together properly. The main stupidity is making these locks spring-loaded to begin with. The crank working both ways would've sufficed.

[@lilypaigeham]

SpringBonnie and Fredbear along with the Puppet are my favorite animatronics, they just have such a nice cozy vibe to them

[@Adriethyl]

I appreciate the Dayshift style Phone Guy. Also, I always figured Spring Bonnie was just an employee moniker to denote that particular version and later Purble Bonnie being a rebrand alongside Freddy, so I'd say modern (purple/blue) Bonnie is technically a different character but shares the same name with William's Fursona.

[@prufan]

I would honestly love to see Spring Bonnie get the Security Breach treatment in the future, as in he's actually got a sentient AI and personality. One that's friendly and kind.

[@blackops9696]

I think the apperance of Glitchtrap is the earliest design of Spring Bonnie. It is most likely what the "temporary costumes" that phone dude was referring to in FNAF 3. Before the animotronics and springlockes were implemented into the Fazbear company.

[@reesearmstrong912]

He is such an underrated character, and one of my favorites

[@wafagdplqs4421]

To me, it's so interesting to realize fans only consider Spring Bonnie as William Afton. When you say "Spring Bonnie", often you will just refer to William Afton using the suit (mainly to bait unsuspecting kids) and not the actual character. Because we know VERY little of Spring Bonnie, as its sheer existence consists of an "unwithered" version of Springtrap. He's just a shell, a husk for William to put on. Ironically enough, Afton *became* Spring Bonnie and not the verse. Although like you said, it's probably something he would enjoy...

William actually came up with Spring Bonnie himself (meaning that Spring Bonnie was His original character), so as the insane person he is it would make more sense as for him to literally see himself as Spring Bonnie, like: it's not: William is real and Spring Bonnie is the discuss. But more of/like: William is the discuss and Spring Bonnie is real. Also there were multiple spring lock suits so maybe we will actually see Spring Bonnie again. But this is why I love Fredbear and SpringBonnie so much, there's so much to them and so many opportunities and theories and speculations about them, 2 characters who were meant to be best friends for life but became worst enemy's for life because of there suits wearer's.

I want to leave some kind of clever comment, but i can't think of much. But I'm always excited to see these character/animatronic focused videos

[@skyenight-by8yh]

I honestly liked the animatronic better than the killer. 😅 Mainly because of their lore in the Fredbear’s Family Diner.

[@rando.girl.jess03]

Tbh I always did like spring bonnie I just love the design it's one of my favorites from the series :)

[@Maikaz]

Scott said there is a lore reason why Springtrap and Scraptrap look so differently. I just wonder if he has dropped the reason why in one of the books or somewhere in the games and we just don't see it.

[@kirbyridingyoshi28]

People have pointed out that the Spring Bonnie in the cover for Return To The Pit looks like Scraptrap, so it's possible we'll get an explanation there

[@diddykitty746]

If he actually said that idk what I'll do. When FNaF 6 came out I started being Very Wrong about the new additions to the FNaF lore, even buying into Miketrap and thinking that Mike was FNaF 3 Springtrap and William was Scraptrap. All because of Scraptrap's design being so inconsistent. If he explains that bad character design by saying "lore reasons"... Might just start making things up tbh and not caring about the lore

[@peytonmac1131]

I'm starting to think Scott can't remember the lore either, it's so confusing. He's probably just making things up and hoping someone else will make a theory that he can use.

[@cyl_genderfluid-furry]

Joshua Graham surviving being covered in pitch, set on fire, and thrown into the grand canyon, is an *INFINITELY* more realistic non-death than William Afton's survival of atleast one springlock failure.

[@ReeceConnor.]

Hopefully one day the legend which is the idea that we’ll actually get a Fredbear’s game eventually which will put are favourite yellow rabbit in the spotlight he truly deserves 💛💜💛💜

[@jdw1483]

I think spring Bonnie is not another Bonnie variant I think it is a separate character in fact spring Bonnie came before Bonnie. Like how fredbear and Freddie are two separate characters they're just both bears

[@captainet2457]

My honest thoughts on SpringBonnie: He’s a pretty cool dude with a really cool design and his lore.. That’s pretty much it on the games :/ I wish he had more screentime in the games. He was really only in the fnaf 3 and 4 minigames. (I prefer the fnaf 3 8-bit sprite) But, the Novel is what really made me love SpringBonnie. Thanks to Dave he made the SpringBonnie really cool like stealthy and crafty. The springlock failure was also really cool especially in the novels. Oh yeah, Fnaf world SpringBonnie. I haven’t unlocked him yet because, I just started Fnaf world. But, he does sound very powerful and his design is pretty cool. The movie was pretty cool but, I wished Springbonnie had a lot more screentime. Maybe, a memory of the mci? (I don’t wanna see it in 8-bit. I want to see kids missing by a rabbit man) I’m not really gonna talk about Springtrap or ScrapTrap. But, I will talk about Glitchtrap. And not gonna lie, the glitchtrap design would look strange. I much prefer the generic yellow rabbit. And I would like GlitchTrap to be his own instead of just “springBonnie.” Finally, I’m gonna talk about SpringBonnie from into the pit. For the first FF antagonist, he’s a really good villain. I really like that he was disguised as Oswald dad. I don’t know why he didn’t chase Oswald when he want back to Jeff’s. He got defeated by being hung in the play set. Oh yeah, people didn’t springBonnie. But, what is the origin of SpringBonnie from this story. But, first of all the hall pit. The ball pit is just memory’s of FF protagonists. What about the ball pit in the “into the pit? Well, I personally believe that was Andrews old memory and he died there by SpringBonnie. Anyways, SpringBonnie might just be made of Agony of some kind. Possibly Andrew? Overall, SpringBonnie is a great character who doesn’t actually have that much screentime. Hopefully, we’ll get more appearance of him. (Yes, the suit itself not Springtrap or Nut head)

[@Yourlocalmess24]

The moment I saw this video in my recommended I audibly said “ooh!” and tapped on it right away. Great vid as always!

[@loganisanerd5566]

I do like thinking Spring Bonnie wasn't strictly male, but that's a personal bias and more of a headcannon. Bonnie is a name meaning "pretty" so that also fits a more effeminate persona.

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

Thank you for the Luigi's Mansion shoutout. Like it literally looks exactly like a Portrait ghost. Reminds me of the horrific Luigi Game Over in the beta version of the first game if only by association with the full game and the portrait connection.

[@piercelindenberg6842]

I’m pretty sure Afton’s Pizzeria Simulator suit was a replacement for Spring Bonnie instead of a reboot design. Remember, Spring Bonnie still had the programming to follow sounds without William’s control. He’d probably want to remove that weakness. The FNAF6 suit is also less bulky and can fit into smaller spaces. I’m not certain, but I like the theory since it would also explain how Springtrap could be walking around on the Special Delivery app while Afton is buried under the Pizzaplex.

[@mrmeteor64]

Now I am thinking about speed racer destroying William Afton and it’s wonderful.

[@phobiaanimations]

17:04 *Absolutely this* I have hardly ever seen anyone talk about how incredibly insane Glitchtrap is. I guess some people don't like to go deep down into the lore, but (in my opinion it's Afton, you can think it's mimic, I don't really care), he's the most menacing and demented version of Afton like ever, hot take but he creeps me out more than Springtrap. I might write a whole paragraph here but, how he's described in the books.. Wowie. He's very very violent, and only sees his victims as playtoys to mess with their brains and gut their mind from the inside out. Also his voice lines are extremely strange, and felt like I was watching a ring tape. He locks you inside a room, and the way TapeGirl (Vivian in my head cannon), described Jeremy being almost numb and a walking "zombie" if you will, he tortures your mind endlessly with horrendous nightmares and forces you to do things you don't want to do. That being said, Glitchtrap is so so so terrifying.

[@SansINess53]

william went through many phases, like trying to become a father but ending up as a narcissist and trying to make money but ending up killing children or even becoming a furry.

Dude the comics reminds me of the old TF2 comics

[@captainet2457]

SpringBonnie is pretty popular in the fandom though. (Then again, a lot of people are popular)

[@BunnyDudette.]

Idk, he tends to get overshadowed by SpringTrap, ScrapTrap, and William, (and ever-so-often, GlitchTrap).

[@captainet2457]

@@BunnyDudette. Springtrap and Willam, definitely. Scrap nut and glitchtrap. I disagree with. Only thing people talk with Nut head is his design and how dirty he was done. While, the fandom loves SpringBonnie because he killed kids and got springlocked plus, the novel. I’m guessing, he’s not AS popular as glitchtrap because of the whole HW craze and the is GlitchTrap=mimic=BurnTrap, or one or none. Either way, he doesn’t get overshadowed. And he’s not underrated either. Just perfectly rated

[@seasonembrace3624]

Finding out that FNAF's main antagonist is named William a couple years back made me uncomfortable since my first name is also William since this dude be a serial killer yikes. But I think he's an interesting character plus Purple is my favorite color and his SpringTrap design is cool stuff.

[@user-cq5up3uu5l]

you only find this out NOW? 😂 but fr tho, i think you should be proud, he is a really interesting and well loved character, personally id find it super cool if i knew one of my friends was named william, funny, but cool

[@dejinnthedjinn5311]

Run little fawn Before all hope disappears Run little fawn The golden hare is here -Battington, the Case of Edward Morris I really like the Spring Bonnie redesign and rename from Battington. Especially with how it looks like what if Glitchtrap looked more like an animatronic and not just a suit.

I didn't think I'd be hearing "Speed Racer's eyelashes" in this video but we're here now and I'm glad about that.

[@HoldenDude123]

I heard someone say that maybe a reason for Scraptrap looking different was that he added pieces from Golden Freddy, to maybe help with mobility, and that could be how Cassidy got connected to him for UCN

[@Wizardjones69]

The vengeful spirit attached himself in afton right after he suffered the springlock failure, so it cant be cassidy, because she and the others gone "somewhere" at the end of follow me

[@username5155]

It’s my headcanon that the reason Afton used the Spring Bonnie suit is because “Bonnie does not abide by the rules of time, space, or physics” (Real quote) and so Afton used that to always come back.

[@rexyht2697]

Something strange about these animatronics is that they aren't alive they don't matter the "characters" that the animatronics represent are just costumes there personality can change or an endo could replace the possessed endo for freddy and no children would notice.

[@CharlieWilson1987]

Hey! I know you don't really do much Dsaf stuff anymore, but I REALLY love it and would love to see another video on it! I've been trying to put together a complete timeline, but it gets tricky with all the tragic backstories, audio logs and computer files. Anyway, love your vids! 💜🧡

[@Rune000]

I’m glad you made a video of springbonnie, he’s underrated as he is actually everywhere when william is involved, springbonnie is actually my 4th favorite animatronic

[@lysseva]

This one was a really awesome video and really gives a whole new perspective on the whole Afton story and situation. Even I forget about Spring Bonnie but the character actually really adds a lot of context to the whole series from this perspective.
