[@lauren9040]

I know everyone likes to laugh at Sophie’s ridiculous fear tolerance, but I also think it has something to do with the pills. Either she convinces herself the things she’s seeing are her hallucinations, or they make her forget (specifically things related to her trauma) which explains the 180 in her mood the next day.

[@bntrs]

I actually think that's one of the main problems with this series - the way the dialogue is written everyone speaks exactly the same and in too much detail for it to sound remotely natural I'm not an expert so I can't really explain it properly but a lot of the word choices are odd for spoken dialogue

My personal guess is that the pills suppress emotions, and she's being shown these so she can associate this memories with just a scary event and no parental ties to these events so she can't really feel any anger or hatred towards Felix.

[@cet1r1z1ne]

@@vanilla5643 I thought that her message was either before or shortly after she was put into the animatronic, therefore not yet giving her enough time to starve unless her stomach was already ruined. I just figured since Rosie was dismembered before being put in Sha, it'd make sense if Susan had things removed/cut down to size as well in order to fit into the Banny animatronic. Banny seems to have a pretty small waist, after all. I could be wrong tho

[@tacoman487]

@@cet1r1z1ne possible but unlikely. Remember that the animatronics are quite large compared to a person and it seems that rosemary is a bit shorter than average. she would fit with minimal damage.

[@nutsandbees]

@@plasticwalnut7650 I deadass expected him to just suddenly drop a "you dumb bitch" line at that moment tbh

[@kiera6326]

I think a massive part of Susan’s suffering lies in her humiliation. As well as being the smartest, she’s probably also physically the strongest, and therefore maintains a bit of muscle which she’d take pride in i.e: “The MIGHTY rabbit needs to get out.” To then starve to death, and be forced to waste away into nothingness whilst being trapped inside a machine SHE built and knows all of the inner workings of as well as manually put it together and be locked inside a goddamn room, and literally all she needs to do is open the door, would be pretty sore for her. I think Bon and Banny’s relationship is possibly indicative of Jack and Susan’s relationship in general. I headcanon that they don’t like each other.

[@colorblockpoprocks6973]

@@kiera6326 I love that theory, and it makes so much sense! It's certainly more than simply dramatic irony that the brains behind the animatronics would be forced into the dumbest one by her employer and murderer. There had to have been jealousy or spite behind the murder. I have a feeling that Felix felt perpetually inferior in the business he had opened with Jack. (Cuz iirc he was just tagging along with Jack as a partner and Jack was the one who really wanted the business.) And I think he took out that frustration on Susan when her knowledge allowed her to see through his attempts to cover his tracks.

[@kiera6326]

@@colorblockpoprocks6973 YES that definitely resonates! Felix’s inferiority in general seems to be what makes him an awful person. His vulnerability is something to pity, especially with the ear lack of help he was given during his alcoholism, but the cowardice that shines through as a result of that really makes me hate him, even if he’s not necessarily as villainous as people like to see him, and it’s pretty understandable why he reacted the way he did after such a gigantic mistake. But once he’s passed that stage and knows he has all the chess pieces in his hands, he’s pretty much God of BSI, especially with Jack gone. You would never survive with Felix as your employer. He’d be like Scrooge (interestingly enough) behind a friendly and honest front. And that makes him hate-able. It’s also worth thinking about how much Susan especially would have pissed him off. She was a goner anyway whether she did or she didn’t, but he couldn’t fire her, as she possibly had some rights to the animatronics and that could result in a whole legal battle and attention brought to the animatronics that he had to avoid. He also _couldn’t_ fire her in a way that wouldn’t make her laugh in his face- what other engineer could build machines like that in 1974. She’s irreplaceable, and I think he possibly only realised that after she was gone. The idea to open a new restaurant was in my opinion, a front, as they had nobody to build animatronics like before, and it was the most convenient way to keep the facility caretakers for asking questions about their job. I think Jack and Felix probably resented Susan because of her ability to do the thing that kept them from achieving what they’d wanted for so long- building the damn things. Some of it might have been 70s misogyny. Maybe homophobia. Maybe it’s the competitiveness between them. All of it’s speculation though, there absolutely no canon basis for it. But oh yeah, her death was personal. Regardless of which one of them was actually responsible for it. When you also think about the shadow man being present, watching Rosemary get stuffed etc… you can’t tell me he also wasn’t watching Susan, through a camera maybe, just to make sure she was actually still there and would know when she was dead. I also refuse to believe that there just weren’t any shows with Banny over the next few weeks either. You can just imagine the awful, jerky movements, the panic on stage with all the kids laughing. “The rabbit needs to get the manager’s attention,” is one of the most chilling lines imo

Might be looking into scary visuals too much but I recently learned that when police sketches are made for missing persons, they exaggerate features and make them uncanny because it triggers something in our mind that makes it more rememberable in our mind that allows us to better retroactively remember seeing the unaltered face or remember the poster in the future

[@justinburchette]

Yeah, that's true and it's why police sketches of missing persons freak me out so much 😐 I always reference this one girl any time someone brings this up, and I can't ever remember what her name is... but anyway in the police "sketch" of her (pretty sure it's not a hand drawn sketch but rather like a computer... drawn... image? I'm sorry I have no idea what to call it) they made her look _so scary_ - at least to me. They like _reeaaally_ narrowed her face / mouth area and purposely made her look like a chipmunk because (like you said) they were exaggerating how she actually looked irl; and it worked, she was eventually found but sadly she was already dead I believe when they finally found her... 😢 Like I said, I can't remember her name... she's been in a few videos about this topic (off hand I remember she's in a Lazy Masquerade video on this subject) - but I'm sure you could find it if you *really* wanted. Irl, I remember she was blonde and pretty young like maybe early 20's or so... but that police sketch picture though 😱 it's just so damn scary 😭 Sorry for the long reply 🙂

I watched the Robert Stack Unsolved Mysteries series as a kid and his original composite haunted me up until a few years before he was identified, and I wouldn't be surprised if the uncanny nature of that composite is what led to his eventual identification. In the years prior to when he was identified, I saw a lot of forums and chat boards where his case would pop up just because it stuck out in people's minds. And eventually someone recognized him, and within a year or two, he got his name back. The uncanny sketches, at least in terms of does, does seem to work in some capacity.

*Edit to my previous post:* I broke down and looked up the video because I felt bad for not remembering her name... which is Jenny Gamez (spelled according to the videos subtitles.) She was from Cottage Grove, Oregon- and she was only 19 years old when she was murdered 😔 I'm gonna give some more information now, just in case anyone is interested (or maybe just curious) about her case. *Warning:* Do *not* read the rest of this if you are sensitive to- or just would rather not hear about- horrible acts of violence against women; just a fair warning (also this is _really_ long... so, yeah, I'm sorry about that 😐) ~ She was actually the first of *two* bodies that the police found stuffed inside a suitcase (to clarify, that is two *separate* suitcases- each containing *one* body- found on two *separate* occasions) along a highway in Wisconsin; both were female. Only half of her was inside, and she was terribly decomposed... that's so sad 😔 The reconstruction image- creepy as it is- was actually enough to be noticed by her foster mother; and so that, along with her dental records, is how she was *finally* identified- over a year after her murder. The other victims name is Laura Simonson- 37 years old, from Farmington, Minnesota. As far as I know, Laura was *not* a Jane Doe like Jenny was; apparently, the police were able to identify Laura fairly quickly. Steven Zelich, a former cop (😒), was found guilty of their murders. I believe he was sentenced to life w/o the possibility of parole. ~ Sorry for the novel length comment lol. There is obviously more detail to her story (as well as some other Missing Persons cases) in the video- so I would encourage anyone who is interested to give it a watch & go from there! 🙂 *Source:* Lazy Masquerade: "4 Shocking & Disturbing Mysteries, SOLVED AT LAST!"

I've always felt that Felix is a coward and that is the catalyst for his actions. He hid the bodies because he feared the repercussions. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed Jack after Jack found out about his kids, hid his body in Bon, and thus began the cycle of death. Jack is most likely putting his face in videos as a threat to Felix and is killing his family as a means of letting them join him (or he may not be totally aware of what's happened and has good intentions behind making them "beautiful"). Either way, Bon is coming for Sophie and Felix. Just my opinion, love this story.

[@sunniwithani]

My exact thoughts while watching this! Can always count on you for a good take. My only deviation is that Jack may be doing the killing instead, with Felix facilitating it to ‘feed’ Jack or give him company (the ‘rabbit is starving’ line made me wonder if there is a cannibalistic component in keeping these animatronics ‘alive’).

[@abloodcorpse3318]

This is something I've noticed but I've never seen anyone point out. Considering the end of tape three mixed with the scene of Sha covered in blood screaming, I feel like I can assume Jack is alive, like Rosemary, and has been forced to watch as he kills people with his own hands, and be unable to stop himself. I think the scene at the end of tape three is when he finally is back in control and is realizing what he did to his wife, right in front of his child as well.

[@Paraster]

Rewatching this video, I'm getting the feeling that The Walten Files is going for an overarching theme of trauma and memories. Felix succumbs to alcoholism, admits to having trouble remembering past events relating to it, and later tries to purge any trace of Jack Walten from the company's history--possibly in an attempt to suppress his own trauma tied to the Walten family. Sophie has had her memories suppressed by pills (possibly thanks to Felix's influence), but an unknown force is actively trying to get her to remember.It's implied that this will be key to her putting an end to all this death, or at least saving her own life. I think by the end, we'll be getting a message about how trying to suppress and forget the past will only hurt you in the long run, and that properly moving on is the key to true healing.

I'm willing to bet that the silhouette that appears next to the employees only door after Rosemary gets shoved into Sha is Sophie, who was the caretaker at the time (possibly to investigate her father's old company to find out what happened to him). I don't think she lured her mother backstage: it was just a coincidence that she walked in at that time. It was probably Bon, and Rosie was probably a nickname Jack gave to Rosemary. Sophie likely stumbled onto Bon stuffing her mother's dismembered corpse into Sha (edit: either that or she actively witnessed the murder, and "Sophie, where am I" were Rosemary's last words before she was killed), traumatizing her so bad that someone gave her pills that help her forget that, the deaths of her siblings, and her father's disappearance. A psychiatrist, or maybe Kranken. A psychiatrist hired by Kranken? Whoever it was, they decided that her forgetting everything was the best solution. Bunnyfarm seems to be the result of either her siblings or Rosemary intentionally trying to make her remember. Maybe they want vengeance and she's the only way they can get it.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

My interpretation is moreso that she's tangentially involved in creating the circumstances of the deaths: so she was the one who spoke but out of excitement, only to see her mother torn to pieces and put into an animatronic and being compelled to clean up afterwards because it's pretty much a given that she's never going to be believed. "I know where he is!" and "I made them Beautiful. I don't know how, but I did," are probably quite literal in their original context, but through the framing we're shown and her own issues with feelings of personal guilt, vague recollection of the events themselves, and the proximity to each of the original victims, they're twisted to confirm her feelings of survivors guilt.

[@rocketiermaster7498]

One thing I'll mention, is it probably wasn't Jack who lured Rosemary into the back given that, in the phone call, he calls her "Rose", not "Rosie". My current theory, is Felix reprogrammed Bon to be aggressive to the people he believes would know too much or want to investigate the disappearances. Jack obviously was the one who knew that Ed and Molly were with Felix. Susan would likely know something was wrong with the animatronics, and could even discover one of the bodies, if she tried to tinker with them. We don't really know much about Charles, so it's hard to say what he would have known. Rosemary was looking into her husband's disappearance (though why she wasn't worried about her kids is interesting), and then Sophie likely witnessed her mom's death, or maybe found her mom's body in Sha. It's possible, since the people communicate through the animatronics given the mention of Ashley still screaming from inside Billy, that Sha said "Sophie, where am I?" to her, and that lead to Sophie investigating further, which lead to the traumatic discovery.

[@J3tr0cks]

The fact that the victims were still alive after each attack and left to slowly die inside the suits, paralysed and starving with no one to hear their screams, is the most horrific thing about this series in my opinion. I honestly think Rosemary getting dismembered was probably the “nicest” death out of all of them, because at least she probably died relatively quickly.

[@Seraphic2004]

Quickly...people reported screams, so she lasted alive for a while

[@sadlittlehero]

[@Ravonaa]

@@kiera6326 Rosemary’s death was the quickest, yeah, but that doesn’t mean she had it the nicest. Her attack is probably the worst one as others were mangled/beaten to death, while she was literally torn to pieces. But then again if the theory that Bon is Jack is true, his “affection” has been really fucked up.

[@kiera6326]

@@Ravonaa Yeah. It’s really quite difficult to argue who had it worse since the way they die can be at times drastically different. I suppose if just depends on what resonates most with the viewer. I suppose it could be argued that Ashley had it the worst too, since it was her face that was ripped apart which is more sensitive than anywhere else in your body especially your eyes, and she lost both of hers. Regardless I think the fact that they’re trapped perpetually in this state of incomprehensible pain after their death is really the worst thing about the entire thing

[@teapartypenguin1353]

Ashley's death really seemed to have awoken some sort of primal fear in me.

Also, remember that in the other bonus tapes they say that the victims try to actively seek help and vengeance via analog logs, this meaning that they "possess" the tapes and insert the creepy segments to tell Sophie and the audience that something is wrong and they want to be heard. In this case, all of the mortal victims (except Charles, who has changed things but hasn't manifested a lot so far) are expressing that they want people to know the victims and make Sophie remember the things that happened to her family and relatives. And Jack wants to make Felix responsible for what he's done.

I think it makes more sense than the idea that Sophie led her mother into Bon's trap.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on Sha saying, "turn on the lights" repeatedly. My theory on what exactly happened to Rosemary is that Felix was backstage, led her around with a flashlight (or turning on lights), and then turned it off when they got to the storage room again. She started crying for him to turn on the lights, but he was getting behind her to aim the light at Bon from behind her- so that when the light hit him, the first thing he saw was Rosemary. Hearing boise from the back, Sophie possibly went back to see what was going on, using a lighter since her flashlight was possibly missing- and saw what was happening to her mother. But since the lighter was faint compared to the flashlight, and he was distracted with Rosemary, Bon didn't notice the light and hence, Sophie is still alive.

[@niiknook]

holy shit thats a great theory! and it makes sense too /gen

[@jeetin8594]

I also think that the “where am I Sophie?” Could have been after she was already stuffed into the animatronic. Maybe sha saw Sophie back there but sha isn’t programmed to kill like bon is. She must have been terrified and confused and she saw her daughter so she asked where she was.

[@boarfaceswinejaw4516]

also notice how increasingly frustrated sha sounds as she wants the lights turned on before being suddenly cut off mid sentence.

Something I love about the Walten Files (besides also being FNAF but with a coherent and understandable story) Is that it focuses on the characters, rather than the spoopy possessed animatronics (which are still terrifying). It's a very tragic story, especially with episode 4 focusing on the individual characters dealing with Felix's mistake, ESPECIALLY with how Felix is portrayed.

I made a horrifying realization... Bon is outside of the k9 facility now. Brain was killed OUTSIDE by Bon. Sophie playing the bunnyfarm game was ~5 days AFTER Brian was killed. This makes the message that Sophie saw in the game of them seeing her soon, more threatening. The Sha finding Sophie’s player character in the forest during hide-n-seek could be foreshadowing. Stay away from the forest Sophie! Bon is outside hunting down Sophie now.
