The Disturbing Origin Of The Mimic In FNAF

[@MusiciansRule07]

None of this would've happened if Edwin just hired a Nanny. A HUMAN Nanny. Given that he was Fazbear Entertainment's main Cash Cow, getting him in touch with a reputable agency would've been so. EASY. But, I guess like there are selectively useful police departments and federal agencies in FNAF, I guess Nannies are very rare. Or he could've just used a punching bag instead of The Mimic to unleash his grief and rage. No wonder Edwin's last words (or rather last scribbles) were I'M SORRY!

[@dumbly-stupid]

Well knowing Fazbear entertainment he probably couldn't afford a nanny

[@aerth6946]

They couldn't afford jackshit, man. Their home was literally a factory and Edwin was treated like an ant by Fazbear Inc.

18:07 small note, He wasn’t thinking about his son here. He mentioned the head in particular being what caused so much fear in him, and how it was “even more reminiscent of the one that haunted him.” He also says “it was happening *again*” alluding to the idea that there was some event in the past with a certain white tiger which was traumatic for him and the mere sight of the tiger was a huge red flag.

[@calinmik429]

​@@sxerralzve2739Here are some of your answers: I'm not 100% sure on this since i have never read GGY yet, but Gregory (atleast in SB) was under Glitchtrap's influence and Glitchtrap controlled him to do terrible stuff, and Glitchtrap is itself a part of the Mimic 1 program, and this is how The mimic has Gregory's Voice. Gregory is still alive in Ruin as in the elevator ending the real Gregory talks, and this is confirmed to be the real gregory by game files. I expect that Gregory is not controlled by Glitchtrap anymore as of help wanted 2 you destroy Glitchtrap.

@@terrifytee no offense, but I think he’s a very dumb antagonist. He’s nothing more than a glorified coffee machine. He can’t do anything original or on its own. He’s pretty much only limited to his programming. The only reason he’s evil is because he’s mimicking William Afton and is mimicking Edwin violent behavior.

As someone that has never watched a full fnaf lore breakdown, I’m searching for a complete fnaf history on your channel or something like it 😭 this was amazing dude

[@adarkdreamproductionawesom6127]

What i haven't seen people talk about is that the possible early forms of the mimic was most likely in FNAF 2, when a endo skeleton randomly appears next to the puppets box. I think it would be strange to add the mimic only in the recent games. In Fnaf 4 i can see the mimic being nightmare, as its one of the weirdest characters that doesnt really show up anywhere else. It almost mimics Fred bear except for the golden fur and jumpscare. Sl i can see the mimic being Baby, seeing workers enter the costumes it tried to mimic them by scooping and getting into micheal.

[@mr.sundialsunday]

16:00 bro I swear he sounded like an animatronic, dude… The Mimic is speaking to us

[@estebanelizondo7856]

Based on how the mimic is described as burnt with rabbit ears. Maybe the mimic was used as springbonnie's endo and this whole time springtrap was the mimic replicating aftons behaviors.

[@JncID10T]

There’s also 0 reason whatsoever for it to learn to lure and manipulate anyone…because it hasn’t had yo actually do that ever so….they never had to manipulate and trick or hunt the mimic…it doesn’t even know it’s there for him…and there’s like no reason at all that it learned one bad behavior and then only did the bad things for the rest of its existence….pretty horrible storytelling to me honestly

[@elijah6189]

It's mimicking Afton specifically

[@elijah6189]

It's also not horrible storytelling and you'll understand it if you read the books

[@elijah6189]

Also The reason it does bad things flow the rest of its existence is again because it watched child murder

[@MattieGracia]

​@@JncID10T learning programs do that: learn. There were no fail-safes or guidelines for the programming because the negatives were not necessary to think of considering it was a nanny bot. Edwin wouldn't even begin to imagine losing his child or for anybody to teach it to hurt others. There's also a deeper layer of neglect from Edwin's part, possibly due to his status as a single father and a widower. It's not horrible storytelling, you just don't get the nuance and that's okay.

[@RedPhoenix81401]

Regarding the Mimics origin that we’ll see in Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of The Mimic I 100% believe the game’s origin will definitely go in a slightly different direction then the books for example I don’t think Edwin is involved in the game’s continuity I wouldn’t be surprised if Steel Wool switches things up and makes The Mimic a creation from Henry

What I think is coming in Secret of The Mimic is that more interesting things will be revealed to us as well as important things about Mimic, although judging by the title "secret of the mimic" it is about a SECRET that we DON'T know about Mimic.

[@polka_dot]

it would be a huge shocker That burn trap becomes our friend however, it would be cool and cruel first few reasons reason 1. William Afton as you have seen was not apart of the mimics creation so William was a separate entity it was weird that the mimic was being graded by a program that looked way too similar to spring trap so this could mean 2 things that spring traps story had been put to rest thus puting to rest the old childrens souls and a new villain has been made or William realizing that there was someone or something more powerful than himself tried to keep it sealed away while protesting Gregory who is now down Stairs I wonder if William cam to life chasing Gregory not to try and hurt him but try and harm him Gregory looks a lot like his own son the crying child so this would make sense as for vanny it might have been controlled by the mimic instead of glitch trap or the mask probably was being controlled somewhere down the line and Vanessa realized this and created a complex code and a gard rabbit and locking the key away for good we could understand this because Vanessa was really just William's daughter or I would say one of first children as seen in the movie so it would make sense that William would have a hand in helping us to save his own daughter and to protect someone who reminds him of his own son as for the mimic once it's vanquished the game might end and well let's just say the ending is way to obvious or could be unexpected but at last when the mimic is destroyed and everything goes with it

Edwyn is "Legally Distinct Henry". Is Burrows "Legally Distinct William Afton"? (I don't think he is. I think Real-Afton is dead.) The Mimik1 virus in the Glamrocks, Story Teller and other animatronics is straight off of Edwyn's computer, not copied from Mimik, as he is in the clown costume, locked behind the concrete wall, and FazEnt does not know about him. Which means the mimik program Glamrocks and other endoskeletons are running must be distinct from Mimik, running the same code but having learned different behaviors. So, how and when does Mimik gain control over the other animatronics? The idea of having scanned circuitry from Springtrap/Burntrap does not work out, if you take that all the pre-VR "FNaF Games" are NDA-circumventing altered versions of events, conjured up by a disgruntled game developer. There never was a man named Henry and there never was a man named William Afton, or Michael Afton. There never was a Springtrap getting possessed by a serial killer. Also, where do Glitchtrap and Vanni come from? They are not aspects of Mimik, otherwise why would Vanni have locked Mimik behind the security nodes? Uncorrupted Chicka was apparently programmed to fight against Mimik and keep him contained. Is that her real FazEnt programming or is that a program installed by Vanni? If FazEnt doesn't know about Mimik behind the concrete wall, then all the "uncorrupted" Glamrocks would have been corrupted by Vanni to contain Mimik, but Mimik managed to override the corruption with its own corruption and uncorrupting them would only remove the Mimik corruption while keeping the Vanni corruption intact? If so, why did decorrupted Freddy oppose Vanni? Are Freddy and Gregory on the side of Mimik? Is only Gregory on the side of Mimik and Freddy is unwitting in the matter? Is Vanni still Vanni? The uploaded personality that was Glitchtrap stopped being Glitchtrap and became Vanni after the coppying into Vanessa was complete. What did Vanni evolve into after having completed the copying process into Vanessa's father at the end of HW2? I am certain, there never was any Remnant and Agony, no Ghosts possessing animatronics, no evil murderer turning into the immortal Springtrap demon. There never was a man named William Afton. But there was somebody who somehow got his brain digitised and turned into Glitchtrap. Is the true body of that man who got digitsed dead? Or is the process of Brain Dubbing survivable and there now is a digital version and a flesh version of him? Digitsing a brain and copying it onto a blank harddrive or animatronic is one thing, but how did it after that develop the means to copy itself into a human body that already contained a personality? Have there actually been the missing and dead children incidents? If so, what happened really to them? Since they clearly have not really been turned into Ghosts, Remnant and Agony, that was just a altered retelling invented for the Games. Maybe they are victims of the Real-Afton kidnapping kids for his Brain Dubbing research? If there were no MCI and DCI outside the Games, then are they just a legally distinct, NDA-circumventing retelling of the disappearance of the employees that got dismantled by Mimik?
