So what do YOU think this all means?

[@nakaimckenzie5784]

what if he chained up and threw the golden freddy suit into a lake? I mean do we ever see for sure the physical suit?

[@PheivAlive]

I think it could all be metaphorical... Vengeful spirit is chained to the freddys franchise and cannot escape the living world, hence the chains wrapped around golden freddy type stuff. The submerging in water could be symbolic of the spirit giving up/accepting these metaphorical chains, and choosing to go even farther from resting in order to confront someone who is still alive/get revenge, or perhaps prevent someone else from ending up like them.

[@thedoctor2415]

What if its the idea of golden freddy being ensarred in agony and rage, maybe the red sea is red because of the countless victims effected by williams action, and going back in represents reliving that trama bringing your friends with you to torcher william even though they want to be released and free from that pain. I always saw the blob as an interesting tie in for UCN cause it makes since as far as why are their characters in UCN missing or seemly irrlevent and whos mind are they being pulled from williams or cassidys, but i think i was thinking about it wrong, what if those animatronic parts making up the blob play into the roster form in UCN all the cursed children and their agony that little remnant left after happiest day, because something had to be left behind in order for their souls to move on i think after the souls left do to happiest day and henry the only one left was cassidy and with all that anger and rage left inside them they use that agony and the agony of their friends to "put themselves back together" as the blob and torchure william. Even in the book about the man in room 108 "or whichever room" its only 1 soul vs another instead of the conglomerate vs the one, which i personally think is a fight william could never win.

[@syweb2]

18:25 The novels have William claim that when you get Springlocked, your lungs get punctured and you drown in your own blood. That may be relevant - Cassidy was Springlocked in Fredbear, and drowned inside of it.

[@John_Railcannon]

Also, it is notable that, at least for William, the springlock failure was specifically caused by moisture

[@Oli6906]

I really like Sire Squawks's interpretation of Cassidy being springlocked in the Fredbear suit by William. And I believe in the Silver Eyes it says that springlock victims drown in their own blood. Maybe that is where Cassidy drowned?

[@eleanorflynn7772]

That ties into the lake being red!!

[@AshyMuted]

That could be where the chain symbolism comes in, too. Her body would have essentially been bound to the suit, she's chained to Golden Freddy and being the Vengeful Spirit. She doesn't give up because she's incapable of doing so. She isn't haunting the suit, she's more like Springtrap, but she only died the one time.

[@0bscurity]

I really think Cassidy drowned in their own blood after being stuffed. It isn't shown that the Cassidy was stuffed by the puppet in the mini-game, besides appearing briefly. So, I think William stuffed them in the Fredbear suit, causing the suit to go off and pierce Cassidy's body, probably their lungs or something connected to it for the drowning stuff. Cassidy would then be really mad at William for that, and that also explains how they drowned. I think the OMC lakes and other (possibly also OMC) red lakes are connected to the drowning motif and is telling us it was in them drowning in their own blood.

[@thekingslayer2178]

I also think this could explain Puppetstuffed if you believe that. Charlie stuffed the other kids because she saw that Cassidy got stuffed and began moving.

In UCN, there's even a clip of golden freddy twitching, similar to the way springtrap twitched in the fnaf 3 trailer. Obviously the twitching is just representing her being restless, but it is interesting how she's moving in the same way as someone else who died in a springlock suit.

[@KazanaAoi]

I actually think this makes a lot of sense- I bet you William was trying to Kidnap the kid, maybe she was the first, stuffed her in the springlock suit then went back to work to ease any suspicions- But Cassidy was crying and her tears triggered the springlocks, piercing the lungs but not outright killing her due to her childlike size, from where she just gradually drowned over the course of hours resenting the man who shoved her in the suit... And William only discovered her death at the end of the work day, long after she had passed in agonizing gasping solitude.

Boy, that description of the Fall Fest fire safety hazards eerily reminds me of the real tragedy that happened at the Haunted Castle attraction in New Jersey. (TW Death) . Haunted Castle was a late 70s attraction at Six Flags Great Adventure that was originally meant to be temporary (like Fall Fest), but due to popularity was never taken down. However, it was also never really brought up to code for a permanent attraction, escaping code inspectors' attention because of these origins. It consisted of multiple trailers decorated with highly flammable materials like foam rubber, fabrics, and plywood. And because this was the days before cell phone flashlights, teens going through the dark attraction would use lighters while walking through the halls. While it had SOME fire safety features, they did not install sprinklers, and all other precautions were either vandalized and not replaced or were rendered unusable in other ways that went unnoticed. So on May 11, 1984 (one year after 1983), one of the foam pads caught fire from one of these lighters and quickly spread. 14 escaped, but 8 teens were trapped inside and burned to death, while 7 others sustained injuries. Just sort of reminds you that the horrors of Freddy's might be laughably unsafe , but there are real tragedies out there caused by negligence, making Freddy's just a little more believable.

[@gaminganimators7000]

Why specify 1984 is after 1983?

[@Limomon]

@@gaminganimators7000 I'm guessing they wanted to strengthen the believability of a similar accident happening with Fazbear Entertainment by drawing attention to the time frame. Like "these things happened in the 80s, around the time we assume the Fall Fest fire happened". It's a testament to how safety standards were looser/less cared for in the past, especially by corporations. Parallels to real life events don't prove anything, yes, but they can be inspirations for writing, so I get why the original poster mentioned it.

[@wynterwolfrose228]

I KNEW IT REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING!!!!!!!!

[@trulyunknowable]

One thing that has stood out to me recently is how similar the names Cassie and Cassidy are. I know theres the whole meme about MatPat and "Gregory is a robot rebuilt version of the Crying Child" but that draws a connection between the two spirits in Golden Freddy's suit and the two children inside the Pizzaplex

[@GwynnDdu]

I never noticed how similar their names are, that's really interesting

[@CazzyVR]

I noticed but I think that's just a Name Choice. I think SteelWool is moving away from the Paranormal Side... or at least telling a different story not involving the old Characters... eventually they have to die...

[@themoocow7718]

It’s pretty neat. The new generation dealing with what old ones did. Cassidy passed down the whole stop Springtrap thing, to Cassie’s father, and Gregory destroy a ton of animatronics, even though CC was terrified of them.

[@monkeyfan250]

there is something i want to add to this. the animatronics and Vanny all seems to see Gregory, yet no one mentions why his stuff was left in the basement when cassie got there, and 2) no one mentions what Freddy meant when he told Gregory that he isn't in the registry(your guest profile is unknown to me) could that have hinted that he was dead at that point, since well he is a complete resemblance to the crying child. would that make the crying child Gregory Afton? even in the papers he was one of the 6 children missing, if gregory did escape and survived, why would the papers still consider him missing, wouldn't he be considered found at that point? notice how quite literally nothing after security breach mentions Gregory, except cassie who was tricked by the mimic, mimicking his voice?

[@kiracomments-chca2747]

@@monkeyfan250: Yeah! That's what I was thinking too! But one more thing. Just because one is on the missing papers, it doesn't always mean they are dead. It just means they haven't been found yet, but I do think that Gregory COULD be dead. So many possibilities with an evolving story 😅

[@edifiedermine9247]

In the silver eyes when William is explaining what happens during a springlock failure, he specifically mentions your lungs filling with your own blood until you *drown* in it. Maybe that’s why the lake is red in fnaf world and ruin, and that’s how Cassidy “drowned”. It might have been a springlock failure. She was put into the suit, and died from the springlocks.

I mean, coo theoey, but... Don't we already know how Cassidy died? High School Chica tells us this in UCN, which everyone agreed was brutally violent compared to the others she mentioned killing before. She is supposed to be a parallel to Afton, so we have a bit of background on why Cassidy is so vengeful, and is the one he should not have killed. Though really they all shouldn't have been killed...

[@edifiedermine9247]

@@longfishy yes, also a valid theory

[@kiracomments-chca2747]

@@longfishy: It's just a theory. A GAME THEORY! We will all see once the next two games come out, but rn, I have a feeling that they're telling us Cassidy died in Fredbear before William's children died. Something must've happened for him to make the Funtimes for Baby to kill Elisabeth and FredBear to kill CC which is why a lot of ppl put SL before FNAF 1 and 2 even happen. Actually, I don't think the suit itself killed CC because of some tears. I think that Cassidy killed CC instead because she couldn't move which is why Golden Freddy is also slumped over in FNAF 1, 2 and 3 and she needed some help to move it. Maybe even over time her agony and maybe even CC's agony helped with moving the suit which is why we see it "move" the way it does.

[@theforgottenscribe]

While a lot of people have pointed out that Cassidy's drowning could've been via drowning through internal bleeding (a dry drowning, I think it's called, bc there isn't any water involved technically), I wanna elaborate on it. Because I think there's a lot to suggest that Cassidy wasn't killed prior to being stuffed, but rather killed via being stuffed. There's that one Fazbear Frights story about kids being lured to a fazbear suit and pulled inside of it. There's the fact Cassidy is so vengeful, implying a lot of agony was experienced by them. Especially if you consider that Cassidy was killed last: first they're lured into a room full of dead kids in suits and then they're stuffed (or alternatively, like Afton later, attempted to escape his reach by hiding in the Golden suit only for the spring locks to be activated). There's the fact that Golden Freddy is limp and listless in FNAF 1, in a pose reminiscent of the sprinlocked William without the twitching. Cassidy may not have died right away, given the fact there's the candy cadet story about a key to saving one life. Near fatal injuries are survivable, even if the chances are extremely slim in most cases. There's also the notion that the drowning iconography could be purely symbolic. It's possible that for Cassidy, their afterlife feels like they're constantly drowning. They're, after all, stuck. Tethered. Held beneath the surface that is release. In fact, I think that might be very likely. 'Leave the demon to his demons, rest your own soul.' To escape Old Man Consequences, you have to drown. I think drowning might be symbolic of Cassidy chosing to chase their murderer again and again, refusing to let go or rest. And I don't think these ideas need be mutually exclusive to one another. I think they can run concurrently.

[@loganentertainment1814]

Another thing to point out is that the photo booth in FNAF AR, where you can take pictures of your FNAF AR skins, there are filters that you can add. The very last one has a red curtain with a wooden sign that reads, “Come one come all, the Fazbear circus”. I even have proof of it in the community section of my channel to prove it.

My thoughts: The Puppet, Cassie and Baby are much more alive because their deaths and suit "injection" are a lot closer in happening. In the give life events the children already look like ghost/skeletons. However, the Puppet was right after she died and Baby was right as she died. So that leaves the vengeful spirit Cassie to most likely have actually died in the suit.

[@GendoRokabundi]

This makes a lot of sense in terms of the give gifts/give life mini game, and the relative levels of awareness/sentience the various animatronics show. If we go with Cassidy = Golden Freddy = Vengeful Spirit, then dying inside Golden Freddy makes sense, with the drowning being a case of drowning in her own blood or perhaps a case of ‘dry drowning’. Based on the original newspaper clippings, Cassidy would have been one of two children simultaneously lured by William as the final two. It’s likely she is literally “the one you should not have killed” because she was never part of the plan. If William is somehow motivated by the bite of ‘83, it makes (twisted) sense that he would basically create effigies of the 4 masked bullies. Cassidy was a random plus one and William had to act fast. So likely he did something to incapacitate Cassidy so he could deal with the fourth child in a manner similar to the others. He may have gagged her to keep her quiet until he had time, or even stuffed her in the Golden Freddy costume while she was still alive, both things that could have lead to some form of asphyxiation. With the way the series likes to echo itself, we don’t see how William handled Golden Freddy when he was dismantling the others. It would be fitting if the process of taking out Golden Freddy was similarly drowning themed. Alternatively, he never actually bothered with Golden Freddy, but Cassidy driving William into the Spring Bonnie suit is the parallel instead. William dies like she did, comes back like she did, and like the first time, it is her that ruins his plan. He probably wouldn’t have been ‘caught’ on tape if not for Cassidy. His luring one child at a time seemed to be going unnoticed. [he would put a similar rule in place for Circus Baby, never deal with two kids at once]. It’s also an interesting contrast of drowning vs burning. Perhaps Cassidy’s ability to keep William alive “no matter how many times they burn us” is tied to her drowning.

[@BonusDuckie]

I don't know about you Rye but a whole circus full of still moving on fire animatronics and fursuits running around on flames sounds like a pretty traumatic experience to me

[@kiracomments-chca2747]

Exactly what I was thinking 😅

[@mylam658]

I think this theory may be likely. Cassidy's corpse (assuming it's their's) not appearing until the end of the FNAF 2 "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame, always felt like to me implied that maybe they weren't killed in the saferoom. And it isn't exactly uncharacteristic of William to go after a child outside the pizzaria, as now seen in the movie. So perhaps Cassidy was kidnapped and drowned in a lake by William. But the major counter evidence for that idea is the news clippings in FNAF 1 that talk about FIVE kids getting lured in and killed. Unless you want the fifth kid in that situation to be Andrew (which is an idea I don't really like myself tbh). It would also beg the question of how they ended up as Golden Freddy, if they weren't killed in a Freddy's.

[@vaevvolfz]

adding onto the counter, Cassidy still needs to possess Golden Freddy in some way, that just doesn't really work out if she was drowned in a lake with the whole proximity=possession thing, and the argument for Garrett can be that he was the first victim and seperate from MCI.

[@mylam658]

@@vaevvolfz Yeah this has a lot of problems the more you add more things into account. Another suggestion I've seen in the comments here is that maybe they drowned in their own blood in the suit they were stuffed into.

[@macintoshhjball4686]

(dumb speculation i don’t normally theory craft) i think it may still possible for william to kidnap then kill kids outside the pizzeria. Now i know the movie has its own separate timeline butttt the fact that william went out of his way to kidnap garret then kill him (which we don’t know where he was killed tho and the mystery with GF being a blonde boy but his face is taped over the first child) could have some similarities or rules that may apply to the games

[@NotUlpoadingAnything]

As a lot of other people in the comments have pointed out, Cassidy probably drowned in her own blood from the spring lock failure. On pg. 269 of The Silver Eyes, William explains to Carlton, "Your vocal cords will be severed, and your lungs will fill up with your own blood until you drown in it."

[@NeonliteMC]

I have a theory: the reason the lake is red as opposed to, well, normal lake colours is because it could symbolize that William Drowned cassidy in their own Blood by springlocking them into golden Freddy while they were still alive. My two main reasons why I say this is because in chapter 9 of the silver eyes novel, Dave aka William Afton literally sais: "You'll try to scream but you'll be unable to: your vocal cords will be severed and your lungs will fill with your own blood until you drown in it" when describing what springlocking feels like. This also works out very nicely because without the ability to vocalize, nobody would be able to hear Cassidy's torment throughout the rest of the building. It also makes me think that similar to william in the fnaf 3 minigame, a Springlocked Cassidy would reatain conciousness for some time, perhaps even long enough to witness William remove the golden bonnie disguised he lured the missing children into the back room with, and thus becaome directly vengful to him, solidifying Cassidy's / Golden Freddy's role as the leader of the souls dring the games. but hey, That's just my Theory My Gayme theory

[@AirQuotes2962]

I can only really think of one thing for the whole drowning Cassidy thing. Obviously there's the whole 'drowning in her own blood springlock failure' theory which I also think is true, but other than that there is one other thing. We know that Old Man Consequences was trying to convince Cassidy to end things (Leave the demon to his demons and all that). So, if Afton did escape and/or Cassidy chose to let him pass on, I could see Old Man Consequences trying to force her to move on when she wished to return to the world. Maybe he attempted to drown her in the infamous lake, wrapping her in chains, but she broke out and managed to flee into the digital world, becoming the Princess. I know it's unlikely, but it's the only explanation I can think of (and honestly, it's one I really like).

[@doltishiowa8577]

One thing that can be some supporting evidence that the sister location characters may have been around in Fall Fest is the sister location 8bit mini game. The reason I bring up the mini game is the fact that in the mini game baby is giving cupcake to kids outside. Unlike every other mini game, the sister location one is the only one that shows it’s outside (I know that FNAF 4 shows the crying child outside, but that’s beside the point). The mini game is supposed to show how Elizabeth died before the opening of circus baby’s pizza world, but why would baby be outside, unless it was done in some sort of outside event. I know this theory isn’t perfect because it may contradict the gas leak that happened at circus baby’s, but this is just some food for thought when thinking how far back the stuff from sister location could have been in the timeline.

Security Breach and the newer games have TONS of Ultimate Custom Night references, (which the mimic would not know about just saying) like OMC being labeled in Help Wanted2’s Princess Quest ending. There could be evidence that maybe Cassidy or the Agony of her is still left at the PizzaPlex.

Really enjoyed the video! Lots of stuff to chew on. Cassidy being the one William shouldn't have killed combined with this information makes me wonder about the circumstances. It could be a much more tragic start to the killings, a fire starts and a william not yet corrupted by agony tries to save a child by putting them into the golden Freddy suit and putting it into the dunk tank. It should have enough oxygen to outlast the flames, and will give her the strength to pull herself to safety afterwards. Unfortunate William never learns what springlocks do when wet until decades later. Later, at the hospital william regains consciousness - and learns that instead of sacrificing his life to save cassidy, he miraculously survived while she seemingly disappeared. Now corrupted by agony, the force which saved his life, William investigates what he would come to call 'remnant'. It can posess robots, keep people alive, and with the agony's influence he isn't as moral a man as he used to be. If my wild conjecture follows, it would make mike and william foils. It also ties up the immortal and restless, William obviously doesn't care for Mike, seeing as he sends mike to his death in the bunker; but Mike and William both manage to come back from death with remnant - although different governing emotions. Agony may be the most powerful, but Mike's guilt is negative enough to shine through.

[@kiracomments-chca2747]

YEAH! HOLY SHT! That would make so much sense!!! In the Fall Fest she ends up drowning in the tank and in her own blood due to the springlocks which is why there's a red lake. She drowned in two ways basically. I always thought that William could've been good, but some kid's death made him become the way he is now because of what happened. Her death made him like this either due to the agony from her and attached to him or because he saw that her death made Golden Freddy look more alive and started on his experiments with the Funtimes and so on!

[@GameJam230]

If you think about it, Vanny IS deeply related to some kind of fall festival, due to the end of Curse of Dreadbear depicting the Vanny mask under the maze in the bunker. So, a game about said fall fest may depict the original creation/possession of Vanessa, while also giving us history on the circus animatronics. Combine this information with the fact that we've almost never really *seen* the golden freddy suit, only spectral projections of it, and the red lake below the pizza plex connecting back to Cassidy, a game about the fall fest may depict the drowning of Cassidy occured at a fall fest years back. Even further evidenced by the old character suits assumed to be from fall fest which are ALSO near the red lake. Maybe it's possible that the golden freddy suit was down here at some point.

[@tdmediums]

18:27 it could simply be that she was the most brutal of all the killings, which would obviously leave a "pool of red" but another theory i've heard being used recently is the idea that she was springlocked. In the books afton describes a failure as being extremely painful and that your lungs would fill with blood as you drown in your own blood

[@ebthebluealt]

I think cassidy was killed by being put into the golden freddy springlock suit, then thrown into some body water, activating the water sensitive springlocks, and causing her to suffer an excruciating death. Both drowned and pierced by springlocks simultaneously. It would tie both the death by water evidence and parallel her and the spirits kill william with by activating the springlocks with water.

I'm going to go in a little of a rant if you don't mind, and take a little more metaphorical aproach. 1: Golden Freddy and Pixel freddy obviusly represent Cassidy.

As we see Golden Freddy chained + Pixel Freddy becomes trapped the moment he steps into the water. 3: I was wondering for a while what the lake could represent, but I ultimately landed on... The History of Fazbear Entertainment... Look, I know it's a strech, but think for a moment. Cassidy could be searching for something, whenever she's looking for Afton, or just some answers (Maybe why he did what he did, or something like that.), she goes deeper and deeper with no real results, until she finds the lake. The OMC tries to warn her, to leave it be and rest her soul, but she doesn't do that. And as we see, she falls down the lake... Forever. We litteraly see her fall up until our game crashes. And when we look at her current states (the Grand Escape GF, the Drowned girl, and maybe the Princess?) It kindof makes sence. She stumbled upon the source of all the information she needs. So I have two explonations for her current aggresion: a) She found the answer she was looking for, and it made her either go crazy, or make her extremely pissed off (or both.) b) She cannot find the information she's seaching for and it's making her go crazy (As she feels that the answer has to be there somewhere.) Anyway, rant over, sorry for wasting your time with my crazy theories... 😅

[@verdantmistral442]

A dunk tank @ Fall Fest. If Fazbear's is involved maybe there was an animatronic dunk tank. Dunk the mascot. What if a person was locked inside a Springlock Suit was put in the dunk tank? If you couldn't escape the suit, you'd be dunked. What happens to springlocks when they get wet?

[@Carx0nGacha]

Adding onto @LionPKrono theory, it could’ve also drawn her to springlock William, wanting to see him getting a taste of his own medicine…. blood! Which would be what he would probably taste, hence “ drowning in their own blood. “ Just a thought :)

[@protomechanics]

I think we need to talk more about how golden Freddy’s main mechanic in AR is to MIMIC the other animatronics attacks!!

[@Cedar-fc6to]

I like the connection to the story "Drowning". When I read it it seemed a little too disconnected, like who is the girl in the water and why would she pull others in with her. Her being (the) vengeful (spirit) would kinda explain that.

[@BoliVic96]

It is also worth mentioning that the walls in the dark circus appear to be striped following the color pallete of balloon boy, further proving that he is from that era.

Sonic adventure 2 battle and the pumpkin hill level music. Awesome choice.

[@inconveniencestore_]

I think this explains why Cassidy is the most aggressive of them all. He went further than he'd ever gone before. I dont think he immediately killed Cassidy once in the suit. It's been shown in the novels that you can survive quite some time if holding still before you mess up and get springlocked. I think he stuffed her, kept her there until nightfall, and then took her to a lake right next to the pizzeria where nobody could see, chained her for good measure so that she couldn't remove the suit from herself, and threw her in. He watched her drown. It would explain why she has no physical animatronic form. It's not in the restaurant. It was in the lake, where nobody would think to check. Who would be stupid enough to hide a child's body in a lake a few steps from a pizzeria in the middle of nowhere anyways, its the most populated place and wouldn't make sense to hide there. So that's what he did. At least in my opinion. She's more aggressive because her death wasn't just strange and horrific, it was slow, dreadful, and over the top.

[@inconveniencestore_]

And the reason I think the lake would be close enough to achieve that without being caught by anyone is that, in Ruin the destroyed underground pizzeria which is somewhat assumed to have been a fredbear's or early Freddy's far before your time owning it and in that same game, that lake is not difficult to get to from there at all. Especially when you consider the early freddys and fredbears locations were local and small, secluded in small parking lots in the woods easily missed without a sign out front. I personally think it makes a lot of sense but I'm not the end all be all.

[@samgonzalez8662]

Drowning seems like a pretty Agonizing way to die

[@Li-rh1bv]

It would be pretty cool to see an earlier Fall Fest, mostly because I think it would be great to get Steel Wool’s interpretations of the Afton kids. Fall Fest 1983 did have the Afton House in the background, so it’s likely they attended before they all died. And I mean hey, we did get a lot of hints about Cassie’s dad possibly being the Bonnie mask kid. Getting to see Michael and His Boys(tm) in 3D would be pretty cool!

[@sofhi12]

[@captain_chocolate]

I'm seeing a lot of theories about drowning in her own blood and uf you think about it that would make sense of why the lake is red. Blood is red.

[@thinkontron2581]

For further evidence, in ultimate custom night if you use a death coin on golden Freddy, you get jumpscared by freadbear and hear some muffled noise that almost makes it sound like he’s under water

[@caralegal6435]

Finally someone is talking about Fnaf AR

[@emmalemmadingdong69]

It doesn't surprise me that there is missed lore. FNAF is known for using the next game to fill holes or clarify things. It's obvious the circus stuff is important but no-one paid attention to it when it was released in AR (and rightly so) so it's been rehashed in the later games.

[@CrispyInsomniac]

god i love great theories that make me think! great video :) having Golden Freddy wrapped in chains in more than one place/game feels very significant. I'm more drawn to that than any drowning theme, it feels like it makes more sense. Golden Freddy being the one that keeps UTC going, forever; chained to Afton, to any FNAF thing. trapped. caged. unable to break free. but that was also their choice. maybe in this timeline, Golden Freddy is a force to be held back at all costs? maybe because Golden Freddy has always had the most hatred? power? Glam Rock Freddy breaks free of his chains, in a way. maybe the chains on Golden Freddy are there to hold them back and restrain them, played off as a trick? it's interesting to think about.

[@annticlimactic]

I FEEL SO VINDICATED! I have been saying this for YEARS. Dark circus is the answer, thank you for covering it!

[@ThisIsntFine]

I wonder if he had her stuffed in golden Freddy but took her out and tossed her in a lake. Because unlike the others he wasnt "proud" of this one and didn't want to be reminded of her anymore. Later to be replaced with the crying child. That could explain how two souls got into the suit. Another fold could be that she wasn't actually fully dead and drowned chained up after being brutally beaten. So the suit doesn't have her remnant but her angony only. It probably wasn't his usually MO and might not have realized he hadn't finished her. I suspect she was beaten rather than stabbed with a knife.

[@DreamingNightmares]

The Dark Circus has always been my favourite set of skins. The skins generally were the part of FNAF AR that I'm going to miss the most. I remember Magician mangle being revealed and then everyone comparing them to Sans because of the telekinesis and that glowing blue eye.

[@v.v365]

Here’s an even bigger stretch than any you make in this video: what if Cassidy did die by drowning, and that’s the death that was seen as more cruel than the rest, aka the origin of “The One You Should Not Have Killed” cuz it produced so much more Agony than the other kids’ deaths, producing a much more Vengeful Spirit, but the way this death happened was that William Afton was ritualistically recreating a Fall Fest scenario in an attempt to put pieces of his past back together and sorta fix tragedies that may have happened, since we know Afton’s all about putting things back together, and all this lengthy explanation is for my idea that Afton may have set up a Fall Fest like how Glitchtrap set up a “birthday party” in that one bad end of Help Wanted, and there could’ve been a dunk tank or a tub for bobbing for apples where he may have drowned Cassidy

[@guts60]

Ballora is your classic stereotypical Gypsy mixed with a ballerina. You often find Gypsy-themed attractions at carnivals and cheap festivals. Why she’s a ballerina? Fazbear decided it was best to rebrand the original Ballora design to be more like a ballerina in order to not be accused of any bigotry Circus Baby is a clown. She sings, dances, whatever you need her to do as a clown should do. Even her name, “Baby”, isn’t a name you’d typically expect on anyone except some sort of clown. Funtime Freddy is meant to be a puppeteer performer with BonBon. A ventriloquist, in other words. Another thing you’d find at a carnival or festival. He has the goofy voice and the ability to alter his voice itself to do different impressions… and lure kids. Funtime Foxy is hard at first. What would be their purpose? Well we get our answer in UCN. Funtime Foxy is a sort of announcer and show runner. Just listen to their voice, they sound like an old radio host. They’d walk up on stage, say “up next is the Jaw-Dropping Act of Ballora Ballerina! Return at 5 o’clock to witness the act!”

[@bigde8538]

Only place I can think in the restaurant where Cassidy could have been drowned is the toilet, and if I was swirlied to death, I think I would be a pretty vengeful spirit too

[@angelic428]

Is there anyway that this maybe just is to support that everything that happened and the “games” by the indie devs were so spooky and supernatural to 1. cover up the real tragedies and 2. out of ignorance. What if at the older Fall Fest, a lot of people or maybe kids died in the fire, explaining the reoccurrence of fires in the pre-modern installments. Maybe it was the mask quartet w Jeremy and Mike. Maybe the MCI was done during fallfest, and maybe Cassidy happened to be drowned. Again, its not like the original in-games timeline and lore didnt happen and didnt all line up, but this is almost the “true real world events” outside of those games’ inaccurate lore/story (despite SB, Ruin, Help Wanted etc. being our in-universe games). Idk, food for thought.

In RUIN, when going into the Servers section, you can se a giant Freddy laying on the ground right below all the corridors you walk through. Maybe another reference to Golden Freddy drowning?

[@gege2126]

Having Cassidy die differently from the other kids would make sense as to why she often stands as the odd one out, also it being a more “violent” death (whether it’s drowning or a spring lock thing) would add as to why she seems to be more vengeful and powerful than the others Though I will say idk how this would give credence to the “one you shouldn’t have killed” statements since it seems more like “you messed around and now you’re finding out” than as to a clue of what makes her so different

[@ImInYourWalls877]

Having her death be a springlock failure would contradict the fact she’s in the party chairs in ITP, plus she aint TOYSHNk, Andrew is.

[@vaevvolfz]

​@@ImInYourWalls877ITP is a warped memory.

[@AGremlinNamedAshton]

there is a thing in carnivals called a dunk tank. you throw tennis balls at a target and if you throw hard enough the chair/beam you sit on will fall over and you get dunked. usually they are deep enough for an adult to land in it without injury, and also fully submerge a child (or an adult if they are sitting/crouched, which they will be given the chair falling). I haven't been to a carnival where they let you in if you couldn't swim/weren't an employee, but Afton could have had someway to bend the rules. I agree that Scott has been rather avoidant on the specifics of the children's murder but have we considered the vengeful spirit as an accident? Maybe she was just some random kid they let in because it was seventies and looser safety laws, she got stuck when the chair popped up/hit her head/no one saw she was to short to stand and be above the water, and then she drowned. It could have easily been a mistake under that context, even though someone would have seen this some of the dunk tanks aren't designed so you can get out of them easily (a lot have a tall clear door above the water line, often with a padlock). Maybe it really was just an honest mistake, it could have even happened backstage as a test if she could handle it or if the machine worked. She could be in golden freddy as a way to hide the body while they (William or henry and William) figure out what to do and her vengefulness comes from her family likely being lied to so the show/company could go on, as well as her body being hidden. I know this is out there and probably controversial, I'm not saying I believe it though, just that I think it should be considered. I totally get if Scott didn't plan on this because it is to graphic but some people might be okay with the description given it was accidental not intentional. this could also place her as the first kill timeline wise, being the one that gave william the idea of using suits as hiding places. Possibly even giving her guilt that her death caused others to be killed (because of the suit thing), which gives another reason she is the one he shouldn't have killed. Maybe she thinks if she didn't die the others wouldn't have died, it's dark but she could blame herself and that could be why she is so set on torturing will. Lastly, I know this was supper long so I really hope you read this RyeToast, I get if you don't respond or mention it in a video like you have with other comment theories but it would mean a lot to me if you did! Sincerely, a huge nerd. Edit: okay I'm sorry just this last thing, I think the quote is "something something the one you shouldn't have killed" which doesn't state intentional killing just a death that was not of natural causes, supporting my increasingly crazy theory Edit two: what if William set the place on fire on purpose (maybe he was jealous henry's attractions got more attention maybe something else, lets just say he started the fire) what if Cassidy drowned trying to save herself? there could have been a lake, (or previously stated dunk tank) and she drowned on accident trying to escape the fire, but still blamed William for it because he started the fire, then covered up her death

[@42_violets]

This is probably bonkers. A child that may have drowned in the games could be the child that William murdered outside in the rain, maybe broke her neck and left her to drown in a puddle. But that doesn't make sense, I thought, that's Charlie, not Cassidy. Are we 100% certain that Charlie exists in the game timeline? Could it be the case that Cassidy and Charlie have always been counterparts across the timelines? And I'm actually asking here, I'm not sure what our evidence is that Charlie exists. If Charlie doesn't exist, that would confuse the distinction between Golden Freddy and the Puppet. And maybe cast a new light on Lefty in the alley, posed just like Golden Freddy, with the Puppet inside. Does that mean that the Puppet has been inside a Freddy suit before? Again this is completely out there, wild theory.

[@CM-hx5dp]

Fnaf 6, Henry/tape guy makes it clear that it is his kid who died out in the rain, and then possessed the puppet. The puppet and the vengeful spirit/cassidy are two different characters

[@OmegaXYT]

Thought I'd just point it out, the name of Sister Location is Circus Baby Entertainment and Rentals. They rent the Funtimes out to parties and events and by the looks of it, FallFest is included in that.

[@MasterHand4444]

That wild ending with the crazy connections felt like a retro fnaf theory in the best way possible. So, so endlessly cool how many little details can be connected in this series

[@MinusFever]

This is very circus themed and recently the the mimic has revealed to be a circus character, and in fnaf help wanted 2 there was lots of circus themed areas. It is definitely connected.

[@Alkeeros]

As much as I think Scott is generally making stuff up as he goes along and is willing to retcon something at a moment's notice... It's really interesting how he can have all of these connecting details and callbacks. Did he expect William to survive UCN? No way. Has he (or the universe) found an interesting way to deal with Cassidy's spirit if William has somehow survived and/or has someone trying to bring him back

[@Lightman0359]

I think that bathtub in Fall Fest is either an apple bobbing tank or grab the duck game [like the one in FNaF6] those are usually played in barrels or animal food/water troughs.

[@CarRadio572]

It seems like a lot of people assume Cassidy died of a spring-lock failure. Maybe they are just guessing based on the fact she haunts a spring-lock animatronic. That genuinely sounds worse than drowning especially if it takes longer.

[@dudeofdudes]

I think the explanation of the bear with chains and drowning is that Cassidy is drowning in the desire to make sure william suffers. She would rather be held down to william to make him suffer rather than give up her ghost and rest in peace

[@Dj-bt4yp]

TJIS IS MY FAVORITE RYETOAST THEORY EVER

[@frefty87]

The fall fest event and the thought of the funtime animatronics being a part of it could make sense. Cause didn't they say that Circus baby's pizza world closed down due to a gas leak? And the fact that fallfest kept depicting a fire had happened..? I mean they said in the sister location gas leak message that the building went for sale and no mentions of a fire. But it's still a strong coincidence at that.

[@katragland6028]

I actually really like the explanation of Cassidy being drowned by William. All this time we knew that Cassidy’s death was different, more gruesome in some manner. So I always imagined a Jack the Ripper style of “he lost control and mutilated her beyond recognition” but drowning still carry’s that image of going too far and drowning a little girl but not going crazy on her with a knife. I might add this to my own personal head canons about the lore until we get some more proof towards that theory.

[@mod11235]

i appreciate the content warning gameplay in the back (and sonic, or special the liver)

[@brycejohnson1480]

We know that the Crying Child dies outside of fall fest, meaning that Afton is on the hunt for vengeance during the first Fall Fest. "Circus" may very well be the story of the MCI

[@milkyweetjuh]

the only thing i can add.. is that the springlock suit malfunctions because of water inside the building. What if there was a leak and Cassidy drowned because of said leak?

[@Bigddalt]

Do you think that lefty could be a refurbished carnie? This is a very long shot, im talkin 100 yard football kick, but it's just some fun thoughts that could conjure up something in the community. If you look at burnt carnie's model, you can just barely see that his right eye is more withered. You may have to squint. But say that at that time his right eye got replaced because it was the most damaged of the two, after decades of collecting dust and rotting away, the untouched eye could have decayed to the point of becoming black. As Henry repared carnie to become lefty, the original eye may have stayed or been replaced with a new black eye for a unique touch. A more realistic approach could be the lefty's design is INSPIRED by his burnt orginal. The eye rotted eye i just mentioned could have inspired the black eye detail. One specific character of that I think could drive home this theory is the color. Burnt carnie is a muted brown with white char accents. But if you were to scrape all of burnt plastic off, you be left with a black tarnished metal. Notice that lefty is not solid black, but a metalic, gun metal black. I think it is possibe that lefty is either a repaired version of carnie, with it's new design based on the chared scraps of the original, or lefty was a completely different animatronic who's build was inspired by the remains of his counterpart. By the location of Fazer Blast and hint we see, I think that carnie was most likely a part of Fall Fest(most likely the 1970 event) if so, do you think it's possible that carnie was one of Henry's first animatronics. That was a whole decade before our first look at fredbears. Whether or not Fredbear's opened before 1983. I highly doubt that it was an establishment before 1970. I noticed that there is no sign of Freddy’s or Fredbear's on the poster. Which leads me to believe that this fall fest may have predated everything. The running theory is that the mediocre melodies were his first animatronics, made to rip off Freddy’s fame. But being that we see an animatronic a decade before that, that closely resembles one of his final animatronics. It really seems that carnie could be his first. Here's some food for thought. Henry has been deemed a copycat in the early timeline for the mediocre melodies. But if he made his first BEAR animatronic at a children's theme event in 1970, is he really the copycat? If William stole the idea and made Fredbear's, and Fredbear's became as big as it did. No one would bat an eye at a small carnival with a simple bear animatronic. I don't know if I like this idea, but I'm just throwing everything I got to see what sticks. Is it possible that William set the carnival on fire to one, preventing it from becoming more successful. And two, to take that idea and reuse it for himself. I don't think he was pure evil at this point, or really evil at all. But it's still just a thought. I don't really think that lefty is a remade carnie. I think it's possible that the design could have been inspired by the withered design. But I doubt that they put that much thought into a connection like that. I am pretty confident, though, that carnie was most likely the first and that Henry was never really the copycat. But more so, tried to reclaim the ideas stolen from him later on after William's fame.

[@thoughtteaanna6052]

Maybe the drowning is symbolic of the transformation that trapped souls are undergoing. Evidently, the princess in princess quest isn't a specific person, the princess is an avatar that represents different trapped souls. I think when a trapped soul thinks they're strong enough to take on William, they become the new torch bearer in the fight against William to help others escape. Unfortunately, some princesses seem to have lost the fight against William. Perhaps as some princesses get stronger, they don't seem to realize that the line between them and William becomes very blurry. Sooner or later, they're fully consumed by vengeance and probably get absorbed by the blob. That is what the blob is, a collection of souls warped by wrath and consumed by agony, they don't even remember who they were. Each time we see drowning, it could be a reference to a princess having lost a battle with William, so who really knows how many trapped souls are in the blob (we can count masks and parts on it but it can be way more than whatever it visible). Maybe that's why the blob tries to attack/absorb gregory en route to the Afton ending of Security Breach when he's not hidden within Glamrock Freddy. The blob's purpose is to absorb princesses consumed by their vengeance. That begs the question, even though the Security Breach William ending isn't canon, does gregory harbor a vengeful soul? Is that why he led Cassie to the PizzaPlex in Ruin? Gregory is the wizard's apprentice after all.

[@alien.astronaut]

Random thoughts that won’t lead anywhere but just want to get out there. And yes I know they’re crazy. -Cassidy could’ve been lured away and drowned in a forest, near a campsite. -if there’s any connection to Drowning and Cassidy. How would William drown her in a bathtub? (If the story is taken literally to her). Probably with him adopting her for experiments or whatnot etc, something happened idk, and then playing the grieving father card cause people outside don’t know any better.

[@aliaz30]

I see a lot of people suggesting the theory that she drowned in her own blood while getting stuffed in golden freddy but I think we are lacking more evidence for that. One thing that came to my mind is Fnaf 6, in pizzeria simulator when we play fruity maze we can assume that we see how William lured Sussie, the thing is that puts the game itself fruity maze at the same time and place as the missing children's incident, so what about the other attractions? Maybe they are part of the original attractions when the incident happened, so when we are talking about Cassidy possibly being drowned, there is another attraction that involves water, the duck pond that we see in Fnaf 6, so what if her death was a lot more violent and sudden, not premeditated like the others but in a fit of rage, of extreme violence, and that left a mark on Cassidy's spirit. Just an interesting thought.

[@KumaNoire]

I recently submitted a hypothesis to FuhNaff, and I'd be interested to hear Rye's thoughts on this. What if Cassidy is the game version of Charlotte Emily? If what Rye said about the vengeful spirit being drowned is true, then we have a good precedence since we know Henry's daughter was game-ended outside of a Freddy's location in the rain. There are a couple of ideas of how you could connect these as well. Since it was raining, maybe there was a deep enough puddle, and William drowned her. If we need to connect the red lake in some way, maybe blunt force trauma to the head where she could potentially see her own blood pool before she died or she was stabbed in some part of her front half since we only saw her back due to how she was laying in the mini-game as the security puppet.

[@JXAChambers]

Well, pizza kitchens have have some awfully big sinks. I always felt that Cassidy was an accomplice to the murders, and William killed her to keep things quiet.

[@acola224]

Rye, the connection between the red lake/forest area in ruin's underground cavern and Old Man Consequences is so thought provoking!! Ah!

[@cloudydrawsart]

Honestly, I think FallFest is one of the earliest killings by William. I think Afton Robotics or whatever William's company at the time was called, rented out party and fair related equipment,similar to them renting out the cirus baby related things, and whilst he could torture his own son, Mike, for the death of the crying child, and I don't imagine he'd not blame the other bullies as well, what better way to stage an accident then a fire at a carnival in a maze. And that's what I think the pile in midnight motorist might be, the remains of the fire of the carnival. Of course a probably drunk William would visit the scene of one of his potential first kills. I think midnight motorist is also William leaving from ending Charlie, going to revel in his deeds before going home to torture the remaining cause of the death of his son, Mike. Obviously its more complicated then that but that's roughly what I think happened at fall fest

There’s something innately uncomfortable about the 70’s circus costumed mascots in the Mimic’s lair. Pre-1980’s costumes in general are uncanny in a scary way. I could easily see how original 1970/ resurrected Fall Fest plot line for a new game could be scary.
