What do the Ghosts Do in the FNAF Timeline?! | Freddy Fazbear Pizza Podcast

“What do the ghost do in the FNAF timeline?” I’ll tell you they just sit around and do absolutely nothing until they find a fur suit that fits their personal vibe

I CANT Michael just is just a girl failure: he’s tortured by his dad and William is like “ok if you can do this ONE thing for me I’ll let you go” and Micheal fails TWICE AND THEN JUST FREAKING DIES

[@georgelongcoal1117]

Nah, this is slander, if we go by his speech, he kinda succeeded. He put her back together, just like he asked him to do. And then he gets killed steps away his own freedom, being the vehicle for the other souls to escape. Quite ironic thinking about it. In using Michael's body to escape the bunker, not only did they attain freedom, Michael was freed from his father's control.

[@Days_long_past]

He fails at dying BTW And then like 25 years-ish later he fails at burning Afton The only time someone could say he fully succeeded(at least in this timeline) is FNAF 6 Yk cuz he was sucidal, so they blocked off the exit that William would've used after him during the planning stages

[@coolbean9880]

except he girlfailed at dying and instead just kinda girlrotted away

[@jonstrunonbro1169]

43:10 damn I love this idea. I imagine Henry would stick around to see what the fire accomplished before subjecting his daughter to the same fate. She has the most whole soul left, unlike the other 3 walking train wreaks.

[@burtonthegrape9217]

I love that someone brought up the flowers, I brought that up when ruin came out and nobody talked about it lol The Scooper in Ruin I don't think is the same thing as SL Scooper, two things the Nitrogen used to purify and strengthen metal, that was not present in the SL room and the Scooper in Ruin does not have the Remnant reservoir , so I think that the Scooper in Ruin is an improved version of the old SL Scooper, I was talking about it with someone in the Discord and they brought up how after Williams death how Metal making advanced and that with the idea that all of the locations in that town are connected via tunnels lead me to believe that Faz Ent found Williams secrets and wanted to recreate his work and that the SOTM factory is under where Cassie falls at.

[@alextracy3510]

you cooked

[@jeremymorris345]

28:46 I think "It's me" is the children trying to remember who they are, but they keep forgetting.

[@Maxolotl124]

On the topic of Henry getting framed, i was a big proponent of that theory for a long time, but its now kind of occurred to me... We see William use a lot of fake names across fnaf media, and he clearly was pretending to be someone he wasn't during fnaf 2, but why would do that if Henry got framed? Why would he sneak around through life under false identities if he fully got away with it? How sure are we that he DIDN'T get convicted, and somehow escaped prior to sentencing? Sure, a person convicted of killing five children typically wouldn't be out on bond, but maybe he had an insane plea deal or something, or maybe he didn't and just somehow managed to break out from confinement before he could get sent to a real prison. Im not married to this idea, but I thought it was worth pointing out

[@zoda778]

"I can't believe I made that joke in 2024" oh bestie do I have news for you

[@thedarkdevil1661]

26:33 ORRRR, like how Jake invades memories in Frights to make their final/worst memories into happy ones, SOMEONE is invading CC's final memories (taking on the form of the plush) in order to morph it into Happiest Day. I think Psychic Friend Fredbear is NOT the original plush. I think a spirit (I think it's cassidy, as she seems to know about CC's memories in the logbook. Other evidence implies she plays Jake's role, but for CC.) Is invading CC's memories. And is taking on the form of something already in the memories that's the closest to it's physical form. (Cassidy takes on the form of the Yellow Bear Plush that's closest to CC)

[@stegozelosaurus7250]

i feel like psychic friend Fredbear could be both William monitoring and an imaginary friend? like little dude just heard his plushie talk and even when he didn't have it, he imagined it there to hang around him, hence it being in the sewers and flowers and stuff. I don't see why that can't be the case, even as a purely retroactive interpretation

[@pandasroc9992]

I really like that you talk about the process of making videos and the struggles of being a KZbinr. I think a lot of people don't realize how much work goes into making content for this platform, so it's nice to hear about those kinds of things. It also makes you feel really down to Earth and relatable which is a big part of why I enjoy your channel so much. Thank you for all the work you do. :)

[@davidsparling4395]

The mangled molten MCI souls rejecting Circus Baby from Ennard because she wasn’t ‘one of them’, and them potentially resenting her for being more ‘whole’ and preserved than them…makes a lot of sense. Or as much sense as anything in this franchise.

[@MorningDusk7734]

I’m working under the idea that Henry is Edwin’s unknowing successor. Edwin creates all the early stuff, Mimic, Springlock suits, and Baby, but has a moment of clarity when he created Baby, but she unalives him (and that’s who we see in FNaF World). William, now without his star engineer, brings in Henry to co-found Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and recreates Edwin’s motivation by unaliving Charlotte.

[@Flaaffity]

It feels like the characters that are more in control KNEW they were dying when they were killed. Cassidy being spring locked knew what was happening, when William attacked puppet girl knew she was being killed. Dave knew (or felt like) fred bear was going to kill him.The MCI needed help to possess things because they didn't realize they were being killed. Now with adults it seems like either they don't possess stuff or it takes agony for them to possess stuff. Both William and Mike had to go through some messed up stuff to survive their incidents.

[@wademarlinggilpin977]

You know I used to like your timeline the most, but I feel like the correct answer is somewhere between yours, matpat's, and fuhnaff's. I'm glad this community is growing and not attacking people for having different opinions anymore

[@Shakkael]

46:55 Well the in-universe idea was so good it worked in real universe Imagine the company meeting and that one guy getting raise because his marketing stunt worked so good it influenced alternate reality

[@Elementroar]

I always find it funny how we freely accept that a boneless floppy purple human meat suit walks around with the power of a ghost, who is somehow able to apply for a job by Pizza Simulator. Like is the ghost solid enough to not make the floppy meat suit fingers dial a phone? Either 📱 or ☎️ is quite a feat.

[@AnJelloGames]

I enjoy FNAF being about the supernatural vs AI. The pizzerias being more of a haunted establishment was always fascinating to me. Enjoyed the topic a lot!

[@v1ct0rygames32]

based on the cut emails, Special Delivery happens during the Pizzaplex era, due to there being mentions of a user under the name '_Pizzaplex' (who is 100% Gregory under the control of Glitchtrap). furthermore, SD happens in September of a year, then in the "fourth quarter of the year" (likely either October or November), Vanessa transfers to the Pizzaplex, the third therapist goes missing, then about two months after that, GGY happens

[@phoneguy4637]

FNaF is pretty much full of ghosts and spirits... it's spirited away, so to speak.

[@spectraphantom5870]

[@fridakristensson7129]

It was probably filmed in 2024, still fun though

[@lillydear95]

I really love the theories that OMC is Michael (or even Henry). The idea that this “wise” and possibly old man lets golden Freddy/cassidy know “leave the demon to his demons” as like a “hey look I spent a lot of time trying to bring him to justice and it’s going to hurt you so much more than it’ll ever change him. So save yourself and let him keep hurting himself instead” is so so good. I love that idea. That someone close to William looks at this child who is so angry and says please take my advice, he’s not worth it. It makes William seem so pathetic rather than this god I’m sure he sees himself as or this huge monster his victims see him as.

[@GJames-Legend101]

Things I think. 1. I think when Molten MCI Happens Charlie/Puppet is somewhere looking for the MCI Victims. 2. I think during fnaf 1 the Missing kids aren’t fully aware that their possessing the Animatronics and that when their looking for the Nightguard that’s them trying to reach out but it never goes as they intend. 3. I think Cassidy it’s possible that Cassidy has been Following and Haunting William since she died. 4. I think when a Ghost Possesses a animatronic it’s like 2 minds in 1 body, 1 mind is the Ghost and the other is the Animatronics Programming and either the 2 of them battle for control or somehow merge. 5. In fnaf 1 it’s said that the animatronics will stuff you in a suit so maybe the reason they try to kill you is because they want to make you one of them. 6. I think much like the Shining Hotel the Pizzerias are haunted by the Agony of the Tragedy’s.

[@actuallyaveryniceguy1771]

One thing that bothers me about the current consensus is that, in midnight motorist, when you look at the broken window, there are no glass shards outside, which would imply that the window was broken by someone standing outside. It might just be an oversight by Scott but I think it is something to keep in mind.

[@tonimariemoore1844]

Here’s a suggestion. Based on the fazbear frights books about susie, we know that susie doesn’t necessarily haunt Chica but she follows Chica, the two of them seem to be separate in some way. This can also be somewhat seen in the fnaf movie, the children show up as ghosts and the animatronics are also there. Now I don’t think this is the case for all the animatronics maybe some of them like the puppet for example are genuinely fully possessed by the children. But from what I’ve seen the only ones that seem to be haunting the animatronics are the ones that were directly killed with or next to the animatronics themselves. (Cassidy and Charlie). We know that some of the children were not killed in the suits or died near the suits like the crying child. We also know that Susie gets taken back to a place during the night, which we also know is when the animatronics seem to be active and free roaming. So could it be a possibility that when you’re seeing “ITS ME” it is actually the crying child trying to directly connect to Michael, and just like Susie trying to connect to her sister and is not fully possessing Chica, maybe the crying child is trying to do the same thing, as can be seen in the security logbook with “ITS ME” within the book Michael owned. Just a suggestion ❤️ love your videos Rye 😊

[@tropezando]

Ghosts are there for yellow usagi-chan/purple truck-kun to isekai them into the afterlife and a fursuit, until Puppet gives them the birthday gifts of Life, happy, and jumpscare. Also you can mine them for rare ore!

[@demonscrawl]

Nice one man! keep doing the things your doing!

[@regulargoat7259]

Super random question that just came to mind. If molten freddy is the missing childrens incident spirits except for the vengeful spirit/golden freddy spirit like a lot of people claim, why would they return for pizza sim? It makes sense that charlie and the aftons would be lured there, but the mci spirits are said in The Week Before to have simply wanted to escape. Why would they willingly return to their prison?

[@SeekerOfComfyness]

If crying child is also in there maybe he was drawn to his family

[@regulargoat7259]

@ that would require the crying child/dave to 1) have not moved on yet and 2) be in there with them. The consensus is that the Help Wanted furnace only shows 4 endos, with golden freddy missing. If Dave is possessing golden freddy, that causes issues.

[@SeekerOfComfyness]

@@regulargoat7259 Under shattervictim he would still be there albeit incomplete though

[@regulargoat7259]

@@SeekerOfComfyness yeah, but also under shattervictim if he's not whole happiest day cant happen no?

[@SeekerOfComfyness]

@@regulargoat7259 Yeah but that could just mean that he's put together completely during or after the fire of pizzeria simulator in whatever ghost realm the ghost kids ended up in I think that's the interpretation ryetoast goes with if i remember correctly

[@Taro_Yanada]

Okay, I have two things to say here: 1) Return to the Pit cannot happen before FNAF 3. Above all things in the book, one of the most consistent things is it's placement. When the characters age, the book says they're "in their 40's," not that they ARE 40. And there's also the mention of TikTok, which was created in September 2017, so the story would happen at summer of 2018 earliest. However, the most known version of TikTok (the one that was merged with Musical.ly) was made in August 2018, so I would rather put it in summer 2019, which checks with the ITP game calendar. And, if I'm correct, you believe FNAF 3 is in 2015, which would mean the book would happen AFTER FNAF 3, not before. 2) About Elizabeth's shattering. No. It'd be really silly from Scott to use THE LINE from FNAF 4, in a game he explicitly made to clearify on FNAF 4 LORE, and it not having anything to see with it. The ONLY situation in which it is brought up EVER in the series (in FNAF 4, in The Fourth Closet, in Frights...) is when a spirit is shattered. Nowhere else. And what do you do in SL? Put all the animatronics together in one. And it is only then when Elizabeth talks, and when she differenciates herself from Baby. She's split among the Funtimes because the employees, using the Scooper to destroy and re-build the animatronics unwisely, end-up injecting Remnant of Baby into the rest of the Funtimes! Great video anyway!

@ no I’m choosing to believe this, it’s the funniest option to have the pivotal game with info about the mimic to release 22 years after the demo

[@jaeg6988]

what if the fnaf 4 minigames are agony-induced replications in michael's head while he's in the torture chamber thingy? I feel like william could just be trying to emotionally drain michael and be like "look how you teased and tormented your brother. and then you killed him bc youre a big ol meanie. youre a monster!!!" or something like that. william doesnt care about that stuff himself, but he knows michael probably does, so he uses michael's sense of guilt against him. literally just to mentally torture michael and show him once again why william believes he is just an evil child and deserves to be abused. that could explain why theres weird shit like fredbears head in the flower or hiding in the sewer. assuming that fredbear plush was a monitoring tool for william to watch over dave/evan (whateva), he probably saw everything michael did to make fun of him. he probably wanted to show michael that he saw everything and that he knows the depth of michaels mental abuse toward dave. that explains why we see fredbear in such weird spots. he wasnt actually there, but william induced agony hallucinations in michaels head to make it seem like the plush was in flowers or in the sewers. its like he was trying to say "i have eyes everywhere and i caught your ass in 4k." maybe im crazy. idk, just a thought!

I really hope FNAF fans aren't going to get weird with numbers and release dates. A bunch of GTA fans have been doing it and it turns out, if people convince themselves that a number means something, and tell everyone on the Internet that it's going to mean something... and then it doesn't... they tend to take it out on everyone else.

[@flickyfkosstitcher8547]

I said it before and I'll say it again, using the number of Henry's audio log as a date is dumb as heck; it has four variables, which are determined by Geography. The most obvious are the US versions, February 23rd and February 2023, due the series being set in Utah; but the former could easily be swapped out for the international March 22nd, and the latter would be read as March 2022 in places like Japan.

wat if mike put himself back in the nightmares by truning that gas on just like i the book fnaf tales from the pizzaplex b7-2 because in fnaf sister location he look he now about the gas

[@FariddBC]

because he look he now about the rome and in sister loction the game never say that nights end at 6 am at least not all of them so that make me think that he separated form the nghtmares but he chose to put them back but the difrent form the book is mike can control the gas so he can finsh his job and he pot hemislf in just because he cant forget hemislf

and there is a chanse that sister loction share some nights he finsh his job then retrun to the rome and the nightmares start

I've heard it over and over, but I still don't buy the HRY223 = 2023 idea. I'm not even saying FNaF3 doesn't take place in 2023. But 223 is NOT a way anyone would write 2023. And why would Henry only have one log for the entire year? So it's definitely not the reason that Henry used 223, because that makes no sense. So you're saying Scott made it 223 because if you squint it's like 2023 but without the 0, right? I don't buy it. If you want an alternative explanation that isn't just "Scott needed a number, 223 is a number," how's this: it's the number of logs. Henry's been planning this for years, so let's give it a 3-digit number to show that he's made lots of logs. 100-something? Nah, bigger: 200-something. OK, so hit the '2' key three times; boom, 3-digit number that's 200-something. …OK but "222" looks weird, just add 1 so it looks a little bit more random. 223.
