Why the Toys are NOT Haunted by the MCI | FNAF Theory

[@3DOARDC]

I agree with this theory, and the Phone Guy's statement "someone used a suit, a yellow one" and "now none of them are acting right" should already confirm it.

[@jeremymorris345]

Problem, this doesn't happen till the last night and toys are clearly haunted before that. We also have nothing suggesting the DCI were stuffed so why would Afton wearing a Springlock suits make the Toys act haunted?

[@zombiekillo61704]

@@jeremymorris345 Then it means they're not haunted, they're just trying to find the adult and Jeremy most likely has a criminal record and that's why the Toys are hostile. The eyes thing could be nothing more then gameplay design for the first 6 nights and officially get haunted on the 7th night

[@jeremymorris345]

@@zombiekillo61704 No, they are most definitely haunted because of the spare parts. The Toys wouldn't react to William as Springbonnie otherwise. As the DCI wasn't killed by Afton using it.

It also explains why mangle is haunted during Save Them as she would have had the most spare parts.

@@jeremymorris345 Then how do you explain the bodies in the "Follow Me" Mini Game?

[@jeremymorris345]

@@zombiekillo61704 Well, there are no bodies in Follow Me. I'm assuming you mean the spirits. That's pretty simple. The Toys are scraped post FNAF 2, and the Withereds are reworked for FNAF 1. We know from FNAF 2 that the Withereds use an Endo 02 model, but we see in the Help Wanted that the Follow Me Endoskeleton are 01 models. This means that the Toys and Withereds Endoskeleton would have been remade into Endo 01s. Follow Me then happens, and those Endo 01s are burned for the Funtimes. Meanwhile, the shells of the Follow Me animatronics are still in FNAF 1 couple that with the fact that The Week Before suggests that the whole building is haunted, then that explains why the souls can be there. The shells of the Toys and Follow Me Animatronics would be brought to and eventually burned in FNAF 3s fire and then brought to the Pizzaplex.

Animatronics in the games: Remember Afton killing them and want revenge on him Animatronics in the movie and books: DON'T remember Afton killing them and see him as their friend and also doing his bitting

[@Glitchxiety]

It also applies to the games

[@Sivanot]

The kids in the games almost explicitly don't remember. We know that spirits dont remember until their bodies are found, and the children in the animatronics, somehow, weren't found. Charlotte explicitly says that all of the others are like animals. She's aware because her body was found easily in the alleyway.

[@itsrickyschannel.]

Its actually a lot more similar of a plot than you think: In both cases, the children are being manipulated and they dont fully remember who killed them. In the games, they cant make Heads or Tails on what William Afton looks like, so they assume anyone sporting a nightguard uniform as the same dude. As with the gameplay, its groundhog day for them. In the movie, as you said Afton manipulates them to "do his bidding", possibly under the assumption that he told them that anyone else besides him is manipulating them. In the film, when Mike asks the child taking on Golden Freddy to know what happened to his brother, the child retorts effectively asking "what's in it for us?". Afton has amnipulated them into believing he is the safe one and any other adult is somehow the enemy. Its a sort of in between with the games and film being a similar plot and an inversion of eachother at the same time.

All the details about the SAVE THEM minigame, so peoole know exactly everything about it: - Withered Freddy's the playable character. - you're supposed to follow the Puppet to Save Them. - You find out that you're trying to save kids, but they're already dead. - White shapes are littered throughout the restaurant. What these are is unexplained. - There's several pools of blood in the minigame in various rooms. - Golden Freddy can show up sometimes. - Purple guy can show up sometimes aswell, and he will charge you, ending the minigame. - Mangle's moving on their own. The toys aren't. - Purple guy's sprite is details to have a golden-like object on his chest, assumed to be a badge. - There's an absolute lack of people in the minigame. - Withered Freddy's moving. He's only shown to do this at night. Now, here's my theory of what this minigame is telling fully: It establishes a "who", "when", and "where". "Who" was the Purple guy, as he's present. "When" was when he was working his Night shifts, noted by his badge in his sprite and the lack of people. "Where" was in the FNAF 2 pizzeria. Just like that, the story unmuddies itself: The DCI happened a week before your shifts. Purple guy complains that the animatronics are aggresive and is transferred to dayshift. Your shift starts, but the toys are now possessed. The Police start on their investigation by night 3. Purple guy is found out and fired soon after, so a dayshift slot opens. By Night 6 everyone figures it out, the next week the Bite of 87 happens. A pretty solid series of events if you ask me.

[@Glitchxiety]

Aside from him being fired, I think he booked it once they catch onto him or the toys becoming more aggressive. I agree with this.

A second set of murders is never implied to have occurred and, ngl, it would be comically terrible storytelling if it did. None of these victims are ever even alluded to in any other game, not even the one where Henry gathers everything and everyone in one location to end everything once and for all, no mention of any more than five dead kids. We get gravestones with names, but not for these extra five kids, what would be implied if they existed is that they were there for one game and then just never came back. Even beyond that, 11 dead kids is way too much, there is no reason to take the focus away from the main victims to create a whole new set of victims that do nothing but needlessly double the body count just to explain why some of the characters are more aggressive

@@crypt5129 Rescue The Children literally referenced them in ITPG? Have you not heard the fnaf 2 phone calls? And the DCI are much so background characters while the MCI + Charlie are main characters.

[@crypt5129]

@SharolaidArchived Idk shit about ITPG so I'll grant you that maybe one game that came out a lot later and may not even be canon referenced the possibility of an extra five victims, sure. Maybe you're right here and I'm framing it poorly, but this doesn't seem substantial to me The fnaf 2 phone calls don't imply a second incident, he's talking about the first incident. The rumors are based on events like the death of the puppet (and probably retconned to include the bite of 83). There's no indication that this has happened before, just somehow the same exact number of kids died and no one explicitly mentioned it ever Again, bad storytelling. Five random kids show up to explain something that could be explained in a much easier and more narratively-satisfying and coherent manner, a manner that aligns with everything else we see in the series, and then they're immediately gone, never to be mentioned again? There's no reason for that nor is there any substantial evidence for it beyond nitpicking of noncanon and/or dubiously canon material

It’s either that or another set of children go missing which I don’t think will happen. William is already springlocked and locked in the storage room so there can’t be any murders happening at that point.

[@jeremymorris345]

Ya, I'm gonna have to disagree. For one, we see that Afton doesn't use the Springlock suit during the DCI. He is walking around plain as day, when animatronics can still get him, in his guard uniform that the animatronics don't like. The whole idea of Afton in the Yellow Suit setting them off comes from our last day on the job. If this line is referring to the DCI, no one would know this as Afton would like to erase the tapes of it, and the cops don't find it until the last day of the investigation. Phone Guy also says, "We had a spare suit in the back," meaning the Springlock suit was there until right before the final night. This means Afton would have grabbed the suit sometime before the nightguard shift on the penultimate night and set off the animatronics. However, the toys are clearly possessed way before this point. As for the book evidence. We are basically told in Fazbear Frights, "metal haunted, put metal in new thing, that thing haunted." No willingness is required, as Jake clearly wasn't willing to possess the Stichwraith. He didn't even know he was going in it. As for the whole soul splitting thing, do I like it? No, but it's a thing. We know from Help Wanted that Afton took the original 4 Endos for the Funtimes, and yet the souls are still in the FNAF 1 building, potentially because the shells are still there. Or they possessed the building as implied by the Week Before.

[@Glitchxiety]

This is fair. But I think the point of the yellow suit can easily be suggested after it he gained the kids trust and killed them, he took it off. The DCI had to have happened at night given the bodies are lying around and that can't happen during the day so the murders happen the week before Jeremy takes the position. Explaining their possession by that point. I don't think he would have taken the suit from the location as they would have caught onto him because he would have been the only guy to have worked the night shift at the time, they would have known he took it. Just as he might have left Spring Bonnie in the safe room after the MCI occurred (not sure about that one though). I think the phone calls detail the progression of the investigation with night 6 being where they might have found something to suggest something did happen at the location or perhaps as you said, someone wore the suit for some reason despite the suits no longer meant to be used and it further triggered the animatronics. I prefer thinking it was the former option.

[@Glitchxiety]

Why would he take it off? Honestly, idk it's weird

[@jeremymorris345]

@@Glitchxiety The problem with the DCI is we literally know nothing. Did Afton use a Springlock? It's unclear as Phone Guy's wording of "had" makes it seem like the suit is no longer there and therefore moved recently before the call. Unless Afton used it twice. How did the kids get there? Did Afton stuff them, or did he leave them like Charlie. (Probably the ladder considered he literally couldn't stuff something into the already broken Mangle unless Save Them is the day after, but then how was the body not discovered?) Puppet is the reason the OGs became possessed. Did she do it again, and if she did why do we never learn about these kids? I think my best possible explanation goes as follows. Afton lures 5 or 6 kids (Unclear) to FNAF 2 potentially while wearing Springbonnie (as the Golden Freddy in this location likely still has a body, I say this location as we know multiple Springlock suits exists.) He leaves the body around the location like Charlie to see what happens. However, while doing this he notices that Mangle already seems haunted. (Mangle moves during Save Them and considering she is the most broken, she likely took the most parts from Foxy making them the possessed). Puppet refused to make the DCI possess the Toys so Afton puts Springbonnie away (if he used it). Cleans up the bodies and finishes his shift. He works the dayshift until he realizes the location is going to close down. He steals Springbonnie and brings it to Sister Location so he can have it. This not only explains why Phone Guys says we "had" a suit in the back but also explains the FNAF 3 phone call explaining that Springbonnie has been moved. (I'm a personal believer in 1987 Springlock Retirement not 1985 as there is a lot evidence between FNAF 2 and 3 that support it). The week before explains that FNAF 2 and 1 are the same location so he brings Springbonnie back and preform Follow Me.

[@damkylan3]

​@@jeremymorris345 "why do we never learn about these kids" Because they were an early idea that didn't jive with Scott's later plot. Hell, the MCI are the main crux of the story, and we barely know anything about them other than Susie. This is not a contradiction to anything we know. Why would he take Spring Bonnie out... and then bring him back? He doesn't use Spring Bonnie during Follow Me until the ghosts chase him, which obviously wasn't in his cards, so what purpose does that serve to the story that isn't accomplished by it just being in the back? And by "Sister Location", do you mean Pizza World or Entertainment+Rentals? Because either way, it doesn't work. "We had a suit in the back" is synonymous with "we've HAD a suit in the back the whole time". That's why he says someone used it. If it was gone, he'd say someone stole it. But he knows it's been used either because it's been "noticeably moved" like in FNAF3 (which also implies it's still there), or it's covered in blood or something in the back.

[@micopen6719]

I think it's inherently flawed to take into consideration what Scott was thinking during early development, specifically in 1 & 2, before there was any real connected story thread planned beyond "A murderer killed kids at an animatronic pizzeria". At least, not in the same theory where you use later ideas and concepts from the series. It has to be allowed that retcons are going to happen in a series this long and with a writer working more on inspiration than planning around the beginning of the series. I don't fully know about Molten MCI or the books, and I recognize that may hamper my ability to analyze this topic in some people's eyes. The idea that 'a golden suit was used, and now they aren't acting right', completely works, in its vague phrasing, for him manipulating them to take on the new vessels using the suit. Of course that was originally supposed to imply new murders, but it was never fully explicitly stated, and then completely dropped. In his recent interview, Scott mentioned that he sometimes leaves things vague so that he can come back to them later when the real answers come to him, and the fact that it's vague (originally partially for the spooky mystery) but then never once again are the other murders touched on, makes me believe that no other murders happened. That's the real world writing explanation, now for in universe. In Fnaf 2, William is working without equipment, posing as a day security guard, and depending on how you read the timeline and series, still with a primitive understanding of the rules of remnant/possession. We also know it's not terribly difficult to tamper with animatronics, as at least two security guards do it successfully and then get fired for it. Therefore, it is entirely possible for him to be the one incorporating extra parts, or trying to awaken the parts put into the Toys by using the suit, thus making the souls of the children awaken, like to play with kids, but mistrust security guards. I could give a more in-depth defense of the MCI-Toys, but that's going to take more research than a comment I don't even know people are going to read or not. If people want a more full analysis and presentation of the theory, I'll actually go rewatch Gibi's massive video, and the new 24hour one by the guy who solved the Foxy Grid. Also, I have to bring it up every time FNaF2 is talked about. Chica did the bite of '87. Why did the toy Chica have a removable beak? Because it's a designed in safety feature. Who of the fast is famous for eating (and therefore biting) stuff? Chica, who's common creepy trait is gluttony. And of course... "Where's my beak? Lodged in your forehead, of course." Scott has been trying to hint at Chica being the one to do the bite of '87 since the stream that solidified dream theory, and people continue to attribute it to Mangle because... Dog?

[@Glitchxiety]

Scott goes back and gives explanations to things from the past via the books and now the movies. He tends to later go back to expand on things and offer explanations to things, he doesn't tend to retroactively retcon previously established things from previous games. Having the MCI haunt the toys would retcon pretty much the entirety of fnaf 2 as there is a clear 2nd set of victims in that game and a core part of that story is about that incident.

[@Ideataster]

I'll admit, I am not entirely convinced the "DCI" is a thing really. Since it's from the perspective of the haunted animatronics and with how, at the time, Scott wasn't using the minigames as a literal representation of the environment. It's something that only exists purely in the minigame having those bodies and nowhere else is it ever mentioned. Considering the MCI is the core thread of everything in the series, it seems very strange that a second major murder event is never addressed even one time outside of the minigame.

[@Glitchxiety]

The phone calls in 2 heavily suggest another set of kids did die there. There wouldn't be an investigation there if something wasn't up. The difference with this one is that it happened at night when the place was closed before Jeremy started working there. So they didn't even know something happened there until the end of the game.

[@micopen6719]

​@@GlitchxietyJust because something is up doesn't necessarily mean it's child murder. If anything can be learned from the books, it's that Fazbear is always up to illegal unsafe nonsense. Also, given the timing, the drama could be that the disgraced old owner of Fazbear who was implicated but never charged in child abductions 2 years ago was working at the new location.

@@micopen6719 "...whatever is happening out there, and however tragic it may be has nothing to do with our establishment" Something is currently going on. It's not just memories of the MCI and rumors of the night guard. And the only event we see is the DCI, wherein we are tasked to "Save Them", to which he responds "You can't" when he stops Freddy. At that point, you either accept the DCI happened, or you ignore plain and simple evidence for no reason other than headcanon.

[@King_ArthurJr]

I think Remnant is often overcomplicated. Remnant is just FNaF's scientific name for a "soul," a ghost. So saying that Scott did not have any of this in mind during FNaF2 is just not true. Allow me to explain my stance. Leading up to FNaF2, we're given a teaser of Withered and Toy Bonnie captioned "something borrowed, something new." It is plainly stating that the Toys have borrowed something from the Withereds, to create something new. Borrowed parts to create new life. I don't think it can be interpreted in any other way. But I hear you, what was the point of the DCI? Well, the DCI didn't happen until late into Jeremy's week. On Night 6, Phone Guy states "Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one, someone used it... NOW none of them are acting right." Notice how he mentioned that whatever happened with William happened at this point, and it has NOW caused the animatronics to go crazy. Crazier than usual. They were haunted already, but something has set them off. The purpose of the second string of murders is not to give some bs excuse to bring the other animatronics to life, it was to show why the animatronics were so angry. They tried to SAVE THEM, a new set of kids. They tried to stop this from happening again. But they couldn't. This made all of the animatronics very angry to the point they caused the Bite of 87 and got the location shut down. But what about everything The Silver Eyes said? You see, TSE is a universe where there is no Puppet, and so the kids are led and manipulated by William Afton himself. The Fourth Closet is a conclusion to that story where they have to be un-brainwashed. Making that the final goal and hence the plot point. That goal is not applicable in the games. They very much do not like William each and every time they see him. So in conclusion, what do I think happened? I think that the Toys are completely made using recycled parts from the haunted MCI endos. We know that these parts were not used for simple repairs because the location has not been open for even a month. It wasn't a few gears, the Toys were BUILT from the MCI parts. (And we know what Fetch's battery being put into the Stitchwraith did. No need for willing detachment, that is just the full part being used.) This caused the Toys to be possessed by the MCI, which is something William took notice of after murdering the DCI. Instead of repeating his usual murderer thing in Freddy's #3, his next move is to recreate that accident. He discovers Remnant, and experiments with it, creating something BETTER than the accident. Utilizing heat, and his own creations to create the superior-in-every-way Funtime's. Remnant was not something invented for Sister Location. Sister Location is a scientific recreation of FNaF2's accident. A direct explanation, and the perfect way to reintroduce the MCI post-FNaF3.

[@Glitchxiety]

Before I begin, I wanted to reassure you that this is not intended to be rude so if this comes off like that, that is not the intention. Scott did not have the full concept of everything planned out. Remnant is ghosts yes I agree. He did not however, have the idea of soul splitting and the full mechanics of souls in fnaf in mind at that time hence why the DCI exist. The DCI happens the week before. It happens at night as bodies are lying around the establishment. This cannot happen in Jeremy's week as, he is working there at that time. Plus as there is an investigation going on during Jeremy's week. There is nothing to investigate on unless something happened. Yes it set them off. Someone wearing a yellow suit would remind them of what happened so they went even crazier potentially. Or they found out that someone wore the suit and whatever happened caused them to act different which becomes progressively noticeable throughout the game. The MCI also don't seem to remember the yellow rabbit killed them as explained by the books and the movie so that triggering them doesn't make all too much sense. Before you say that also wasn't planned at the time. No, Scott gave an explanation for the animatronics behaviors. This would be an expansion, an elaboration. The DCI not haunting the toys would be a retcon. Scott goes back to explain how things work, happened and operate in the series with future releases. However, this change would render the DCI completely redundant in their own game as the animatronics still attack guards without provocation in fnaf 1 and TWB. Save them is referring to saving the lives of the kids yes. As William says they can't because they are already dead. This can be seen in the other minigames depicting the MCI, Charlie's death. Charlie's death specifically spells out save him. It's a form of irony in both because we can't save them They are dead. They go on to haunt the animatronics. Why would each minigame show the deaths of kids, Charlie = Puppet, MCI = Classics and GGGL = Charlie's and the MCI's bond for this other minigame to show dead kids with new animatronics for that to not be why they are haunted? They are under the influence of William in the games too, the same stuff from the other continuities can be applied to the games and we have been told this multiple times in different official sources in the franchise. The Puppet is in the movies yet the kids are still under his influence. TWB has a reference to TTO which the animatronics follow a path to Ralph's house to get Coppelia which the Twisted Ones do to kidnap Charlie and are also under Afton's influence. Phone guy says that the Withereds are used for parts, implying they use parts to add and repair the toys. The Withereds would have a lot more missing parts if they were completely used to build the toys. "They've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics. Uh, facial recognition, advanced mobility...". They wouldn't need to spend a fortune on these new animatronics if they were built from the originals imo. Also about Fetch's battery, that was what Andrew possessed so him being added to a new endo like that works, I explained this in the video. William already knew about remnant form the early parts of the timeline. If remnant is just ghosts then he knew about it since Charlie's death. I see what you mean with the last part but that wouldn't be an accident as the parts were added deliberately to the toys. Even if the effect wasn't intended to be soul transfer. Sorry if this came off as rude, I just wanted to explain this a bit more. Thanks for the comment and watching.

​@@Glitchxiety Nah nah not rude at all. I was worried mine might come off that way as well so I'm glad we can be chill. And I mean yeah that's really compelling and I can see myself leaning either way. The main thing for me tho is the whole "something borrowed, something new" teaser. This teaser always confused me as a kid because of the DCI (and I guess it still does). I've always been a DCI believer growing up, and have never been able to interpret what this could be referring to. But when the DCI seemingly never returned at all, in FNaF3 or onwards, despite the Toys always making cameos, that struck me as odd. Why do those guys never get a Happiest Day or Help Wanted Gravestones or a Frights story or anything at all? I can definitely see it being the case, it just feels off. I'd freaking love it if MoltenDCI was true but I'm pretty sure that's debunked several times over. But what's got me so interested in the topic is the movie. I feel like if the movie is going to be able to answer anything it'll be this, and I'm excited to see it. Whichever way it leans.

The teaser images saying “something borrowed, something new” are just nursery rhymes, they don’t really mean anything about the Withereds using parts only spare. And the toy animatronics have been pretty irrelevant after FNAF 2, so safe to say that the DCI actually possessed the toys. They were freed after Fazbear Entertainment scrapped them which scrapping involves fire so the DCI’s remnant was burned and destroyed. Especially the secret easter egg in Chica’s party where there’s five crying cupcakes and one of them follows Toy Chica, which could represent the DCI soul possessing her. Hopefully the movie goes for the Toys DCI route because there’s a good possibility that they can appear.

[@Glitchxiety]

@King_ArthurJr when I was ToyMCI, the teaser felt like it heavily implied their souls were in them. I think they were either released after they were scrapped or were released in fnaf 3’s fire as their shells are at the location. Hoping the movie can answer the questions about the toys and going it's not AI stuff because oh boy will there be problems.

7:47 THIS part is why I'm against MoltenMCI. Most think William did HALF of Follow me, used them for the funtimes, then went back AGAIN (For some reason) and died on the 5th night minigame. I think it's more like how the fourth closet tells it. 1. William powers the funtimes (games imply Funtimes are kidnapping Machines. The 4th closet even has Baby do this) 2. William keeps the spirits in line. (4th closet has William appear as Spring Bonnie, result of post-springtrap, I assume.....And the games probably use Controlled shocks to Domesticate the spirits) 2.5. Domestication can force ANYONE to comply after enough time. (Give me remnant or get SHOCKED. And having them in the funtimes bypasses him shocking the Very broken classic endos, which is NEVER hinted at, while "kidnapped kids = Game Funtime spirits" IS, like TFC and count the ways. BURNING the classic endo for soul transfer is, but SHOCKING them for it isn't. "SHOCKING = COMPLIANCE" IS too.) 3. The spirits are split across multiple funtimes. 4. A human trial is performed, and the spirits start coming back together (Carlton + the MCI spirits in TFC, and Mike + Ennard in the games) 5. William TRIES to get more remnant from OTHER kids. (In TFC, he tries to use one of the kids kidnapped by Baby/the funtimes, while the games are obviously gonna be the MCI in Follow me) 6. The MCI kids attack and "kill" William. 7:53 + 9:38 Also TFC makes it clear not much is required for a spirit to possess another object, in terms of the parts they possess. If it took LOTS of parts, then the amalgamation WOULDN'T be able to power at least 5, maybe more, animatronics in TFC and STILL look whole. (Freddy, Foxy, and about 3 of the mini clown robots. And 6-7 TYPES of animatronics in the games (Main 3 (excluding Baby), MULTIPLE Minirenas, MULTIPLE Biddybabs, maybe even Lolbit and Yenndo, etc)

[@jeremymorris345]

We know from the games, that the Funtimes were likely never used as after Elizabeth got killed they stored in the underground location. And while Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals exists, we don't have any confirmation that it actually was used to kill kids. Compare that to MoltenMCI where we do have evidence. William tears down the animatronics to grab the endoskeletons. (He returns on the 5 night to grab Springbonnie as he thinks that suit has power over the spirits, which is why he hides in it during Follow Me). Help Wanted shows the 4 original Endoskeleton in a burner in the FNAF SL location. Molten Freddy kicks out Baby because they don't want to follow her because she is loyal to Afton. Behavior that would fit the MCI Victims. And keep in mind a random kids killed by the Funtimes wouldn't know about Afton as the whole storing them alive thing didn't work with Elizabeth. And lastly, FNAF 6 is literally all about bringing everyone together (except Golden Freddy) to burn the remnant out of them. And the MCI wouldn't be there without Molten Freddy.

[@Adriethyl]

The big thing that annoys me about the Toys being possessed by MCI/DCI/whatever is that the Toys are eventually scrapped by Fazbear Ent., not William or anyone else, since he was presumably already fired when they get scrapped. The books don't necessarily mean anything either, but yes, remnant wasn't even a concept during FNaF2. _(This does bring up a "Ship of Theseus" of sorts on how many parts you'd need to replace before the animatronic isn't haunted anymore lmao)_

[@Cross_Corp64]

So… let me get this straight: The Toys can’t be possessed by half of the MCI because it’s not the same remnant energy from the same Endos from the Withereds? I feel like that’s how Scott is analyzing the rules of possession. It’s mainly that the Withereds’ shells were used to upgrade the Toy animatronics. But instead, William commits another murder group to see if the Puppet would give life to them, but it didn’t work. I feel like the DCI’s role is William attempting to do another MCI and see if the Puppet would stuff their corpses into the Toys. Under PuppetStuff & WillStuff, William stuffed Cassidy to hide their body which led Cassidy to get Springlocked, later the Puppet learns from that and helps the core 4 by stuffing their bodies in the animatronics. Later on, William is concerned as to why the bodies weren’t found and goes into disguise to see if another attempt works. So in 1987, William does it again but the Puppet doesn’t stuff them because Charlie learned from her mistakes. Now this pushes William to believe that his victims are haunting Freddy’s. And my idea is that the DCI possesses the Toys but are connected with the Withereds, and they start following the MCI to try to kill any adult based on what they remembered before death. But… I want to throw out the theory called “MoltenAugment” and it’s a theory where both DCI and MCI possess the Funtimes and William built the Funtimes Post-FNAF2. So under this theory, William melts down the Toys to see how the Funtimes would do their bidding, but he needs his Spring Bonnie suit to have full control- and we know what happened. Overall, I would list out theory details about the DCI, but I wish they were brought back again to flesh them out. Maybe a Week Before FNAF 2 Interactive Novel would be a nice idea. After all, good video

[@Glitchxiety]

It's not got to do with remnant energy, it's got to do with the MCI not wanting their souls to be broken and haunt the toys. Which is why I believe William melts down the MCI to warp their memories and their souls to allow for this process to work. I don't think adding parts alone would do the trick. The Withereds weren't used to upgrade the toys, more rather they were used as spare parts from the Withereds incase something went wrong with the toys. If anything, they attempted the upgrade the Withereds before abandoning the project because they were "too ugly". As for PuppetStuff, many sources of media out right say William stuffed the kids with FNAF 1's newspapers saying blood and mucus came out of the animatronics before The Puppet was even a character. Which is why I don't think The Puppet stuffed anyone. Well, I believe Elizabeth died before the MCI so the Funtimes would have already existed. But man I wish the DCI had more relevance. Thank you for watching and commenting!

FINALLY, PEOPLE REALIZE WHAT REAL LOGIC IS!!!!!!

[@KirbyFan-h9y]

Great video I believe the toys are possessed by the DCI kids however, there is one exception that I do believe this theory applies to Mangle Mangle in Fnaf 2 is really strange in save them mini game one of the few animatronics that are moving. The only ones moving are W. Freddy, puppet and golden Freddy and the DCI just seemed to happen hence “save them” freddy could’ve saved them since the DCI at night (the week before basically confirms this the phone guy saying kids were dared/challenge to go to Freddy’s to prove their bravery) So the toys haven’t been possessed yet but mangle is moving and they are aware as their Sprite is called “ he was here” but why? Well as dislike The theory originally I have come to believe it and agree with it. Mangle is possessed by Susie’s dead dog. Not only does mangle act like a dog, but there Ar voice lines have dog like behavior as well. Infact in the voice lines there seems to be two different personalities When this the first came my biggest question was how? The dog died before mangle became an animatronic and back in 2017 there wasn’t any MCI 1985 yet (I do think Funtime foxy and bb are a part of 1985 but That’s besides the point) But things have become much more clearer than I do. Think I know how they’re possessed by the dog. Not only do I think mangle is possessed by the dog? I believe the cupcake is too. I thought originally the cupcakes aggressiveness/sentience was a movie exclusive thing however As the week before and into the pit the game confirmed the cupcake is also sentient in the game continuity In the into the pit sketchbook the cupcake is stated to growl and bite people like a dog and Chica seems to care a lot about it Now how can the does the dog possessed both the cupcake and mangle This is where the reuse parts/spare parts theory comes in mangle is a take apart put back together attraction. The company treats them as such and goes along with it. The kids had to get their parts from somewhere and that somewhere is the withered I FE was using parts from the withered animatronics for mangle I believe mangle 2nd head is the cupcake. Never see Withered cupcake in the game I believe the cupcakes parts were used for the animatronic. Some people believe the head was a parrot, but as we see from worlds fixed design of them, they don’t have any parrot/companion. But the endo head is a endo 02 Well that would be a problem if it weren’t for another theory that’s basically confirmed at this point retrofit theory The classic animatronics were upgraded for the new location but scrapped, which is why they look like the withered Phone guy says all of the animatronics were retrofitted. the cupcake is also an animatronic. so they would have a new Endo. So basically mangle is possessed by the dog because of the cupcake Now how the dog possessed the animatronic is strange But I think there are 2 options 1. There soul attaches to Susie and joins her when she dies. 2. The cupcake is possessed by the memory of the dog/wanted for them maybe Final question would be what happens to the 5th DCI kid and I think this is pretty simple (that into the pit mini game basically confirmed that there’s 6) The 5th kid most likely possesses JJ The DCI are (forgive my language) a parallel to the MCI kids The 4 possess an animatronic that attacks during the main game while the 5th one possesses as a secret that a recolor of another character Also see a blood splatter under the table in save them So the five DCI kids possess toy Freddy toy chica, toy bonnie, BB and JJ Imo Anyways keep making great videos.

Thank you for the donation. Again you don't have to lol but thank you. I don't think the cupcake or Mangle are possessed by Susie's dog. I think Mangle is just possessed by the DCI kid in the room with them in the minigame. The Cupcake is just an extension of Susie's spirit and I think if anything, it takes on the memory of her dog but it essentially has a part of Susie's soul in it. In the movie William says "wake up children" and Bonnie and Freddy wake up with the Cupcake being apart of Chica presumably shows it is just an extension of Susie's soul. But that's just me. Again thank you for the donation and thank you for watching.

[@damkylan3]

16:40 Not quite, since the Puppet is most likely not in control, and is asleep in there. Lefty attacks because noise risks waking her up, and is silencing it, hence the "Shhhh". Its violence is also semi-addressed by the note in its blueprints about its behavior being unpredictable upon its suit sealing the Puppet inside.

[@micopen6719]

Also, this is a random unrelated theory, but I've been wanting to write it down somewhere so this seems like it might as well be a place to do that. I think it's possible to read Nightmarione as Mike's spirit in UCN. It would explain why Nightmarione is on the cover. Lots of characters in UCN are coded to specific characters, like Old Man Consequences being Henry, Nightmare Fredbear being David (and Cassidy?), and Baby being Elizabeth, and Charlie being the Marionette. It's clearly a part of the storytelling of the game. Well, basically, this comes from a thing I heard one time, where supposedly Scott said everything but the Nightmarione mode in FNaF4 is canon, but Nightmarione has appeared in later games, so what is it noncanon to? Well, upon some consideration, it's clear to me that Nightmarione is part of Mike's nightmares he's having in the lead up to FNaF3, since he was there to experience the Marionette in FNaF2. There was never a Nightmarione Dear Experiment, or whatever the memories of FNaF4 are of, they are purely a creation of Mike's nightmares. This also answers the question of where is Mike in UCN, and actually puts him on the cover of the game, and also... Mike would know where to block your mouse, being familiar with the gameplay. It's either that, or his consciousness is just contributing the animes, as TV Watcher is one of his 3 character traits.

[@I_Pizza]

Good video! Even though some quotes were really long, I’m glag that you used specific ones to back up these points. I do have a few points of disagreement. 10:33 I feel this quote answers your question of why he doesnt just put parts into the Funtimes. The Funtimes have completely different parts compared to the regular Endos, but by turning the parts into remnant, Afton could theoretically inject it into both the Funtimes and pretty much anything else he wants, including humans. This gives him the control he desires without having to compromise his animatronic designs. Imo, you could argue there may be an element of ego at play, where Afton would want to enhance his own creations and tear down Henry’s. 12:28 I’m not sure this is the case in the games? In FM, they leave Spring Bonnie to die in the back room, it plays out similarly to how the blonde kid leaves William to die in the closet in the film. 16:04 I think its worth noting that only the head of Simon is added to the endo. This could potentially explain why his memories are all janky? Maybe a piece of him was left behind in the rest of the doll? Not to mention, Simon is haunted before Jake dies, I’d say he’s more comparable to the haunted chair or mirror Taggart has. The main memory that’s latched on Simon is one of Jake being a normal boy, hence why he’s confused when he recalls thinking about being reborn. In theory, if parts of the withereds/classics were put into the toys, this could explain why they’re weird around all adults and they don’t remember exactly who did the DCI. Otherwise, the Toys are acting forgetful for kind of no reason? In TWB, we learn the Classics have a grudge against Ralph because he’s been there so long and always gets to leave. We also see the MCI leave Afton to die as I mentioned earlier, seems like they remember the Yellow Rabbit killing them. I’m not sure why the DCI haunting the toys would suddenly forget who their killer is or what he even looks like, especially Mangle who, as you mentioned, is named “he was here” and were assuming is already haunted when William is still there. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe “he was here” refers to Golden Freddy instead, since he can teleport into that room.

[@Glitchxiety]

I think the reasons for melting the souls can have multiple reasons. Yes melting them does make it easier to add them as is backed up TFC, however, I do think taking them apart and melting them affects their memories which is why they see William as the yellow rabbit and not William himself. In FM, they see him enter the suit so they would know Spring Bonnie isn't there friend in that instance. Yes, the head is added, it's why I also provided some screenshots of quotes from Epilogue 3 towards the end as I made that mistake. I think what you're talking about is imo Jake's connection with Simon causing it. Similar to how CC's fear might have helped bring the Fredbear plush to "life" if that's what happened with it. Few things here, the kids in the games do not remember the yellow rabbit killing them and they don't even know they died. They have to trust the yellow rabbit for MoltenMCI to even work and them not being as aware is implied by Charlie in UCN. "The others are like animals but I am very aware". Sprints are just forgetful after they died, its a constant throughout the franchise. They might not know what he looks like if he used a suit to kill them like Golden Freddy if Spring Bonnie wasn't at the location or he just used Spring Bonnie. Or they saw who killed them so they remember or they act aggressive towards staff because they know an adult killed them and they know they were killed as they saw their bodies. The MCI don't even seem to know they are dead which again is reflected with Susie in TFC, not remember if William took her to see her dog. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

There are many unanswered questions, for example, according to the story, FNAF 2 is before FNAF 1, but the withered animatronics are corrupted versions of the originals, if the withereds existed first, how could they be corrupted? Or why aren't there broken versions of the toy animatronics in the first game?

[@Glitchxiety]

The withereds are from a freddy’s location from 1985 where the missing childrens incident took place, becoming haunted. These characters from that location had the same look as the classics from fnaf 1. They look different because the company retrofitted them with newer technology and looks until they abandoned the project leaving them for spare parts to use as they were “too ugly”. The toys were scrapped and never used at fnaf 1 as said in fnaf 2 night 6 newspaper.

[@Ozeglion]

I haven’t seen the video yet (probably will tomorrow) But the ”DCI” incident is, through the phone calls, implied to have happened during the week that Jeremy works there Thing is, the animatronics are after him starting day 1, which means that they’re possessed before the incident occurs, and I believe the only logical option is for the fragments of the MCI spirits having ended up in the Toys in order for this to work Again, as I haven’t watched the video yet, I don’t know if you counter any of this or not

[@Glitchxiety]

The only real time the DCI can happen is at night and before Jeremy's week as 1) the bodies are lying around the building 2) if it was a during the day people would know it was William who did it 3) William is wearing a security badge from the looks of things which implies he is working as the security guard. Hope you enjoy the video when you watch it :)

[@rasmusjensen6962]

Great video. I honestly only have one problem, and that’s the DCI. I simply do not belive it explains the toy animatronics. I don't belive DCI, because of night 1. Ralph first mention rumors on night 3, which seem odd, especially because children dying would likely immediately have shut down the restaurant. So it's more likely something happened day 3, starting the rumors. Thereby it leaves the question: why is the toys attacking us on night 1? The DCI simply doesn't make sense, because it doesn't explain Toy Bonnie and Toy Chicka. Since dead children would have shut down the restaurant for a few days. Now I do agree the ToyMCI theory isn't the most solid either, but if FunTimeMCI is what happened, then the ToyMCI likely is also the case. The thing about the ToyMCI is it explain night 1, even if melting metal likely would have destroyed the remnant. Then this can explain why the restaurant was running until the DCI at night 3, even though the toy animatronics are clearly haunted. But lets assume neither of these two theories are the case. Then what can cause it? I do admit something supernatural is controlling them, because Ralph imply Mangle has a habit of crawling on the roof. I have a possible 3rd option. We know Cassidy is extremely powerful, heck, she even create a hell. So it could be assumed, the same goes for Charlie. Now hear me out, because considering what Cassidy and Andrew and the Stichray can do. It could be considered that a fully conscious spirit, like Charlie might be able to control the toys, from afar. I know it's a far stretch, but considering Charlie (who doesn't hate us, as long we don't stay in her way), is trying to kill us. It would make sense for her to have a motive. And considering we are keeping her locked in a box, preventing her from saving the MCI victims. I think the motive is pretty clear. And again considering what the others can do, it does make sense, if Charlie somehow control the toys and are using them to get rid of a persistent problem(us). This is of course just my thoughts. Thanks for reading. I wish you a great day.

6:14 Disagree here, Remnant was not *COINED* at the time (that came many years later), but the mechanics/essence of it were most certainly in place/on Scott's mind, even as far back as FNAF 1. The Possession concept seems to rely heavily on the same sort that creates a "Haunted Car" that seems to drive itself with nobody inside (often due to the driver dying in a crash or such, or a Murder), a product of a tragic accident. Also, Autobiography of a Yogi has QUITE a few fingerprints of Remnant scattered throughout, if one were to read through it, i know there was a video that went through it in heavy detail as well... And, of course, FNAF 3 as well. The Endos were split from the Shells, yet the Shells DO contain a spirit. Same with Golden Freddy, a suit whose Endo seems to be partially or even completely removed, yet still Haunted. 7:40 Doesnt Fetch from Frights post a bit of a problem in this case, considering it's battery is taken out and shoved in a brand new Endo? Unfortunately Phineas Taggart likely doesnt have any relation to Andrew OR Jake in this instance, unlike the similar situation in the Novels with MoltenMCI. 9:44 The most likely answer seems to be "He didnt HAVE to, but this is the best way to get as much/as complete of a batch of Remnant as possible". The stuff's in REALLY limited supply, practically worth more than gold, and shoving 4-ish kids worth of Soul Soup into 4(5?) different robots doesnt leave too much room to poke around with any extra material :V The Spare Parts certainly WOULD work presumably, but nowhere near as well as transplanting the ENTIRE thing, at once, considering it'd be a much more complete/"intact" specimen, and there'd be no reason to only settle for half-measures. As for the Heating: I believe this is simply the BEST way to inject (Raw) Remnant into an object, not the ONLY way. While it may not be the best example, i believe the Ella doll in the Novels is a decent example? The one that later became "Charlie" with a few premade Memories inserted to Complete her... And maybe Michael at the end of SL, possibly? It seems likely this is similar to the situation in Portal. It's stated that ground Moonrock is an excellent Conductor for Portals, which led to people believing EVERY portal surface in the game is Moonrock, even in places it makes 0 sense (such as portal surfaces in the 40s and 50s, before the Moon Landing had ever occurred, and before the purchase of said Moonrocks in the 80s). When Cave had only stated that it's an excellent one, compared to others (such as standard Concrete). Back to FNAF, another thought: Heat could simply *bypass* that "willingness", as well. Because remember, it effectively puts them to sleep/knocks them out. It'd be rather difficult to consent if you're not awake, especially if the Metal's been melted away/you're in a much more Reactive state... 14:10 This... really isnt *that* relevant? Like, of course it doesnt have to be *William* doing it, the company KNOWS about it, Phone guy even states they just use the Withereds for spare parts after their renovation plan fell through in favor of the Toys. The Withereds have parts that the Toys can use, and the FazEnt Employees are going to cut corners by doing as such, it seems :V >Lefty I kind of disagree with this. It seems clear the Puppet is NOT possessing Lefty (as, while they're contained, they're not one connected body really), and we've even seen a more extreme version of this scenario with William. He CANNOT override the Suit's programming, no matter how hard he tries. Same for the MCI kids either (they cannot enter the saferoom. And William cannot leave the saferoom, OR resist the children's calls due to Spring Bonnie's programming). I'd hazard a guess Lefty is POSSIBLY just an AI? Considering the Hazard Risk, likely one cobbled together solely to capture/shock the Puppet and little more :V (of note, said Shocks/Controlled Shocks would be another instance of the "Heat Coma" that Remnant experiences, being unable to act/falling asleep when applies to them.)

[@Glitchxiety]

Thanks for the comment but I do have to address some things. - I don't think the concept of splitting souls (at least like we see with the Funtimes) was a thing on Scott's mind at this time because he was more spontaneous at this time in the franchise. So yeah the ideas of remnant were there early one, the full concept of how it worked I don't think was fleshed out in his mind at the time of fnaf 2. - Golden Freddy does have at least part of his endo in the suit, the suit is just in suit mode as it's a springlock and no one has reason to turn on the performer mode for a character that will not be used. Spirits can haunt things other than metal of course. I'm just saying that metals are the best and perfect conductors for the emotional energies of the sprits. - At the time of FNAF 3, it was going to be the last game so I think the spirits were there in FNAF 3 however, as the series progressed it's possible that they aren't even there due to Sister Location and MoltenMCI. If anything, NOW the agony attached to the suits is what is in the building, of which Afton can control to create the Phantoms. Regardless of the modern lore, it's possible the spirits here at the time were just the spirits and such as the plot of SL wasn't planned then. - I addressed the Fetch thing in the video. Andrew possessed the battery pack of Fetch, not the WHOLE animatronic. In Andrew's case the vessel was just added to the endo. Jake on the other hand is more or a problem which given his first time in the endo, I think he became more conscious with in it. It is a bit of a problem with the theory yes, but there are other reasons as to why the MCI would not haunted the toys as presented in the video. - Yeah that's fair. The heating and injecting of the molten metal would be the most efficient way of adding them however, given some of the details and descriptions from TFC, I think there are more reasons as to why he did what he did. Melting them would warp their memories and perceptions allowing William to trick them into moving in the Funtimes which is also seen as he doesn't need the yellow rabbit any more. They still need to be willing to part way with a part of themselves. Which is why I don't think adding spare parts alone would work. - The Ella doll is a little different. 1) It isn't a soul like the MCI are so ig that makes a difference and 2) it is essentially the vessel which contains a part of Henry and who Charlie is in novels. - It doesn't put them to sleep, they are awake throughout the process as they can feel pain and are scared of the fire. - The point here is that they trust the yellow rabbit so if anyone is going to do it its going to only be William. They are only willing to part ways with a part of themselves, if they want to and trust the person doing so. At the time of fnaf 2 the spring locks are decommissioned (and maybe Spring Bonnie is locked in the MCI location one too) and as such I don't think anyone apart from William and Phone Guy working there would know how to use them. Also, why would a technician use a spring lock suit to work on the Withereds and toys? - No Lefty is not possessed by The Puppet but The Puppet can control Lefty to an extent given they attack Mike and tell us to "shhhh". However, yes you are right the animatronics programing takes precedence of the animatronic if the animatronic enacts on it program but in William's case, he can control the suit. But when he hears a child, the suit goes to it despite what he wants. Anyway, that's it. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@Afton-ph9uw]

My theory is that BOTH the DCI and MCI possesses the toys. Ralph first says that the DCI are rumors and the reason the toys attack is because they weren’t given a proper night mode. But that is most likely a coverup because Ralph says extremely similar things in Fnaf1 despite him lying and knowing why. I am also a firm believer in Molten DCI and Molten MCI because I think William collected remnant from the toys, which has both MCI and DCI according to me. And collects more remnant from the 4 animatronics that has the MCI in them. The Toys are the complete opposite from the Funtimes. The toys try to help protect children and the Funtimes lure and capture children. I also believe that the Funtimes are ALSO possessed by their personal victims. Meaning I personally think Molten Freddy is a big ol Blob with lots and lots of remnant because it contains the souls of the MCI, DCI, and the Funtime victims. You can also visually see Remnant leaking out of Molten Freddy, it kinda looks like blood, but it’s most likely remnant mercury that is molten because of how angry the souls are in Molten Freddy, so they literally become Molten and melt remnant because of their anger. Molten Freddy could also be molten because of Fnaf3. Assuming that Molten Freddy is the manifestation of the Fnaf3 bad ending, Fnaf3 also ends with a fire, which could be why he’s Molten

[@Glitchxiety]

To me, the toys are haunted by the time we start our work week as they start moving night 1. Toy Chica has the same eyes the animatronics have when they are possessed. The only real time William could commit the DCI is when he was working the nightshift as he can't lure the kids to the back room in FNAF 2 as there isn't a safe room as they were locked up and abandoned after the MCI. He is also wearing a badge in the Save Them minigame implying this is happening when he is on his shift, the nightshift. As for MoltenDCI, while it would be cool, FNAF 6 implies it's just the MCI as we are not given names for the DCI and the 5 things become one line from Candy Cadet imo. Thanks for commenting and watching :D

[@RaisinHook]

the Toys could feasibly not be haunted, it would require the most blatant retcon ever turning the Withereds smelling and bleeding into a complete red herring and the animatronics were just falling apart

The withereds were haunted before fnaf 2. With the MCI occurring in 1985, the toys would be haunted by the set of victims from the fnaf 2 establishment

I just realised this but THEY PUT JEREMY ON THE DAYSHIFT AFTER HE JUST FINISHED THE NIGHT SHIFT. Can they do that legally?

[@Full.Circuit.Thrills]

I think a lot of people forget that the calls are pre-recorded. The ones in Fnaf 2 are actually obviously pre-recorded. There are two main clues. Clue 1: Night 1 call “hello and welcome to your new SUMMER job”, however the pay-check is dated November. Clue 2: Night 6 call “we have one more event scheduled for tomorrow, a birthday”. What do we see in the party rooms and the game room? Happy birthday banners. This is why the Toys are somewhat hostile before night 6, it’s simply all happened before we play. Plus the reason the banners were never removed was because it was the final event, they just closed up shop and left. Of course I could be wrong but this is what I believe. Either way, I’m pretty sure being put on a day shift immediately after a night shift is pretty illegal yeah haha

[@Glitchxiety]

@Full.Circuit.Thrills night 6 cannot be pre-recorded as it is directed at us because we are not meant to be there. The place is closed down.

[@ClownManJames]

just a note against this is an interpretation of the toy chica in fnaf 4. Toy chica presumbably only starts taking off her beak after she gets possessed, and in the fnaf 4 minigames the toy chica doll is missing its beak symolising possesion and the doll is owned by a blond girl with her arms sticking outwards, just like withered chica. I think that the toy chica doll is a clue that the toys are controled by the withereds.

[@Glitchxiety]

The beak isn't really a sign of possession as the indicator for us at the time was the black eyes with white pupils which Toy Chica has in 2 and not the figure in 4. The beak could just come off. With 4, Scott turned it into a lore clue. There are theories as to why this is replicated with the animatronic such as CC's memoires influencing things throughout the series or the girl in 4 haunts Toy Chica.

It's so odd. How the conversation has changed so much in FNAF. What was once a mysterious story of ghosts and possession and... well... authentic mystery is now a discussion on the mechanics of a fictional element with artificial mystery. The difference to me being that an authentic mystery can be solved without the author's input. A lot of FNAF lore and content requires answers from the dev to be truly solved otherwise its conjecture. Not saying either are inherently good or bad or that one never existed in the story. But at this point, if the owners dropped it and never did anything with it again, despite multiple stories supposed to be the end, despite hours, years in total or longer if you added up all the videos and writings and more about this, books, a movie. All of it and if it stopped now, it would be debated and likely never solved.

As I consume all of the media and ponder about it, it's somewhat simple for me to understand the series (not a dig at you for that btw).

[@nikodemoniko2148]

I've known all my life that the Toys are possessed by other souls - this can be deduced from the mini-games and from the words of Phone Guy. I thought everyone knew that. Of course I don't want to offend anyone, I just considered it fact for the last 10 years, not speculation or theory. I haven't watched the movie yet, but I assume that you think that Toys are possessed by the souls from the murder that took place a few days before FNAF 2

[@SUSMAN69420]

Why does no one get it? The toy animatronics aren't haunted at all. They never were. There weren't multiple sets of murders. Scott put bodies in the minigames to show that purple guy killed kids and stuffed them into the suits. The reason the toy animatronics suddenly become aggressive toward the stuff and adults is because William Afton intentionally tampered with the facial recognition systems, just like phone guy said. The tampering caused them to become dangerous and unstable, setting up the bite of '87 for mangle. After the bite, the place closed down and the toys were scrapped. The withereds were refurbished into their fnaf 1 forms and relocated to the new pizzeria after its construction was finished.

[@sunnyano]

"Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one. Someone used it…now none of them are acting right." I think it is very valid to think that William killed this new set of victims with one of the two main springlock suits. If it is meant to represent the MCI kids, then why would Phone Guy assume that the Toy Animatronics are actually acting that way because someone used the suit? They didn't exist in 1985, so it has to be in 87. And with this in mind, the Save Them minigame seems a lot more like a new set of murders than an representation of the first one Besides, Foxy Go Go Go! Already exists to represent the MCI, why would we need two representations of the same event? (In different places as well, Save Them even has the Toy Animatronics on stage. As for Foxy Go Go Go, it has the Pirate Cove, which should tell us that this isn't the Fnaf 2 location)

Either I’m completely wrong(likely), or Mangle was possessed by Susie’s dog and the others weren’t possessed at all(which is another common theory). Scott made FNAF 2 a few months after he made FNAF 1, so he didn’t have anything past that on his mind at that point. I think he made the minigames figurative and symbolic rather than literal. I think he just wanted to show that the withered animatronics were possessed(the dead kids were slumped the same way the withered were slumped) and he tried to show the MCI in several different ways. Mangle probably wasn’t supposed to be possessed originally, but later Scott came up with the Susie and her dog story and went with that.

The toy animatronics are possessed by the same MCI victims since they're being repaired with parts from the withereds this much has been explicitly confirmed regardless of whatever book nonsense you cite, the books aren't even canon. There is no second incident, that's why we only ever see five gravestones (and the puppet). Henry tries to end everything by burning all of the animatronics, including Molten Freddy who Henry explicitly states houses all of the MCI victims, and yet an extra five children are never once mentioned in this game or in any other game. We never see them, they never get set free in any of the games, they're never once spoken about, not even a hint to there being an extra five kids. It's the same five kids being tormented over and over in different forms. That's why the same five dead kids pushing William to become Springtrap and live on through an animatronic body like he made them was fitting, the same five kids that have been victimized over and over were able to victimize their killer, it wouldn't be nearly as fitting if he had an extra five victims that just existed off-screen somewhere and had no part in his demise and were just never brought up. Fnaf 2 takes place during the incident, or like sometime afterward since they would've all had to have been possessed (the puppet gave them life btw, not William like you kept claiming), the rumors revolved around incidents like the death of Charlie (idr if that's her name in the games or just the books, Henry's daughter, the puppet). There is no reason to think that there was a second set of murders, and even if there was initially supposed to be, it's been retconned at this point Side note, did we ever find out wtf is up with Balloon Boy?

Dead bodies need something to attach to, to begin with. These bodies are not inside or near enough animatronics, unlike nearly all cases of possession. The Classics worked because they were brutally shoved inside the Animatronics, died in there, and rotted in there. There was PLENTY of close contact/opportunity to possess them. Simply not KNOWING every detail of a mechanic that only the Writer knows at the moment doesnt mean it's a Retcon, when it acts differently from your own personal Assumption. A Retcon is directly contradicting established/provided lore. eg, if something states that "The MCI occurred on August 10th", which would directly contradict/retcon the "June 26th" date provided in FNAF 1.
