    This reminds me of something Markiplier noted when he first played SL. When he saw Ennard, he commented how the wires that coil around its legs reminded him of the Puppet's stripes, and that their masks were kinda similar. I never gave it much thought, but when you realize that Ennard was pulling the strings on night 5, kind of like how the Puppet was depicted as a leader to the animatronics in FNaF 2, it adds another layer to Charlotte and Elizabeth's relationship in the narrative.

    Just something to point out. Just as Charlie was able to freely control the puppet because it had no programming and she could do and act how she wanted, scrap baby also is free from the ai baby programming that was keeping her from being "free". And Charlie is the one who ends up in lefty being trapped and not being able to act how she wants to

    The puppet does have some programming as in being calmed by the sound produced by the music boxes we see and responding to the signal from the bracelets given to the children, Otherwise it would have never been caught/lured by Lefty. Scrap Baby has had no AI in it since Micheal removed the chip in SL withe Elizabeth taking full control over Baby sometime after said SL ended.

    I think a particular element that seems so overlooked most of the time is the likelihood that, since William and Henry were good friends ((presumably)), that it was likely that Charlie was friends with Will's kids, and probably thought of him as an uncle or something. So imagine how tragic that probably was for her to be locked outside, see William approaching her, probably ran to him in tears to ask him to unlock the door for her, and he just stabs her. Imagine those last moments of her life being a sudden shift of sadness to relief to horror as she dies and watches William walk away from her coldly. 🥺

    This is a pretty compelling take. I like the idea of Baby as a deliberate counterpart to the Puppet - it fits pretty well with how evil and terrible she's made out to be by Desk Guy, and with her manipulative nature in Sister Location. Some people talk about that like it's purely out of a desperate desire to leave the bunker, but I think it makes more sense as a tactic to gain sympathy from Mike - which is what a perverse version of the Puppet would be designed to do.

    Elizabeth really is a tragic mirror image of Charlie. A daughter of one of the co-founders of Fredbear's unfairly and horribly killed and then condemned to haunt her father's creation. But unlike Charlie who had Henry's love for at least 3 years Elizabeth has either had William being a flat-out abusive father like he is in the Fourth Closet or been brainwashed to accept his incredibly warped idea of 'love.' These 2 are honestly contenders for my favourite characters just because I think as characters they are two of the most well defined. Hopefully the series can actually allow these 2 poor girls to rest in peace.

    In a way, it really is a reflection of the abuse of children. After all, what is killing a child if not one of the worst forms of abuse of all? And between all abused children, you'll see a pattern. If they see how they've been abused, they'll learn from it, and try to be everything their abuser wasn't. If they don't... they may emulate it. They'll think that's how the world *is,* and sure it was painful and harsh but that's how it must be, and how they should be too if they want to keep up. It is in children's nature to learn, but they must be taught how to grow. Henry, despite being a broken man, is portrayed as growing. But William never does. He learns, but doesn't grow. Elizabeth learned, but only Charlie ever grew.

    Dude, I absolutely L O V E the character work you're doing for the kids: Cassidy, Charlie, Elizabeth... I am actually growing more and more attached to these wandering spirits each video! They feel like actual kids now, characters improving, descending into darkness, having arcs... you turn the story of FNAF into an *actual story* and I adore it. It feels gripping in a fresh way. I am actually caring for the story because of these characters that I'm envisioning. I'm pretty sad this wasn't tried for the core four: I'd have loved them to have developed as a family instead of "animals". Have these four bestial animatronics actually be four kids that found each other and, under their ringleader's caring tutelage, support each other in their ultimate goal of freedom and hate only to grow past the hate as they hold on to it, killing and killing without caring who it is, maybe even after their success... until they finally realize it is for naught. They don't need more death: they need peace... and for that, *they need each other.* *ALL OF THEM... including the BV and Cassidy.*

Like, the part of her that became Scrap Baby wanted to show that she was the "best" for William's plans... hence the crown. Makes that part of Henry's speech in Pizza Simulator hit that much harder... Like he knows William... and realized what he tried to do by that point. He doesn't know if Elizabeth still remembers her name... because this is all that's really left of her... Chilling.

    It's very interesting that Afton's family maps PERFECTLY onto a narcissistic parent family. Whether or not Afton cared about his children is a separate issue, he might have had SOME empathy but it was definitely covered up by his narcissistic tendencies. Perhaps he saw them as nothing more than trophies or perhaps he did love them in his own way but couldn't get over his own flaws But think about it Elizabeth is the Golden Child, the perfect child that William tries to model after himself, the favourite (Though she can also work as the abandoned child) The Crying Child is the forgotten child (though in this case William seems to somewhat care about him with the psychic friend fredbear) (and he also can work as a favourite) And Mike is the black sheep of the family. This is a story of someone so high on his own farts that he cannot get over a tragedy, not necessarily because he cares (though he might a bit), but because this tragedy is a hit to his ego. He blames everyone around him but not himself for being an absent shitty father and turns even more monstrous as he cannot accept that sometimes accidents just happen and that it wasn't anyone's fault. He turns against his best friend because of his own ego and jealousy.

    I do 100% agree with the character analysis of Charlie and Lizzy. Spot on! I always got the impression that despite being dead at like kindergarten level one continued to 'grow up' as a soul and one held on to a toxic childhood. The next part is a tad controversial, so I apologize ahead of time. Puppet did stuff the second group, and William observed. At least datamining the SAVE THEM minigame makes it really look that way. There are already blood spills on and in some of the toys, and it looks like- due to cut parent and open child functions- we were supposed to watch the stuffing during the minigame. Probably too graphic and got cut late. I don't agree that Charlie was killed at Freddy's. I think it was Fredbears, the same allyway as the FNaF 6 pizzeria and the building Henry owned. I have a few points as to why but they wouldn't hold up in court so whatever. William went back because he is a serial killer. He isn't a sympathetic bad guy and until we as a fandom let that go we are going to look at the data with a skewed biased. The movie hammered down the dynamic set up by TSE. Henry is the sympathetic villian.

    What if Elizabeth and Charlie, when they were still children, were kinda frienemies to each other even then? Since their fathers worked together so much, they had to have met at some point at the restaurant or on a playdate or something. Perhaps Elizabeth was a brat who’d tease Charlie a lot and would tell on her father to get out of trouble, and Charlie was one of those kids who’d try and save bugs from getting squished and include other kids in their games. Ik the Puppet and Baby have no connection to each other, but it’d be a cool parallel and explanation for their personalities

    Commenting for the sweet algorithm juice! I always seem to learn something new when it comes to these videos. I never made that connection between Charlie and Elizabeth's deaths! Nor did I think about the idea of Elizabeth becoming so unhinged and mentally broken that she WANTS to become Baby. I never liked how Baby seemingly had a character shift and completely changed her goals in FFPS just for the sake of having another enemy. And all the explanations and theories as to why this change happened never made sense to me and felt tacky. But not only did you manage to explain it in a way that makes sense, but also gave me a new, unnerving, and tragic perspective on Scrap Baby. Now I'm just going to feel sad and heartbroken when looking at her. Poor Liz. I don't have anything else to say about the rest of the video other than it was great! Though when you brought up William getting jealous and bitter over Henry's perfect family and daughter it made a little theory pop into my head. We have a good idea of what the Afton Family's dynamic is like. Michael's the hated one, CC is the one that's neglected, and Elizabeth is the golden child. What if the reason why William treats Elizabeth better (at least for his standards) than his two son's is because he never wanted a son? He wanted a daughter just like Henry? And he was bitter that it took 3 attempts to finally have one? Or maybe he had Elizabeth BECAUSE of seeing Henry's loving family and wanted a daughter of his own? Just a thought. I do hope that one day we can have a full timeline video that combines all of these theories. Make a little movie or documentary type thing. I think the reason why I've been loving these theories so much is because they actually go in depth with FNaF's story. Looking at parallels, connections, running themes, ect. Whenever the question of "why does X thing happen" pop ups, you actually think "why X thing happens AND what it adds to the narrative" instead of just "here's why X thing happens." You think with good media literacy. I love that. Common Sire Squawks W.

    About the cake bear thing, I don't understand why some people believe that he is Fredbear. As of now, it is widely accepted that Golden Freddy is the same character as Fredbear, and Golden Freddy can be found in the Save Them minigame as an Easter egg. The color palette of "Cake Bear" is the same as Freddy's in the same minigame, not Golden Freddy, which is entirely yellow, there is no confirmed location where both Fredbear and Freddy were present as mascots, which suggests that the restaurant where Charlotte died was Freddy's, not Fredbear's.

    Problem number 1: Afton being out before Freddy's 0. I don't think that would have happened until after Charlie, and my reasoning for that is that Charlie is his only murder that doesn't take place in the pizzeria. William knew enough to block off the security puppet's box before acting (presumably to avoid being recorded) and because Bonnie is part of the core of the OG animatronics, something I don't think Henry would have done if, for some reason, he threw William out, given William's obvious affinity for Bonnie. I think that at best there's not enough information to make a determination on whether William Afton was 'out' or not yet and at worst, his understanding of the security measures of the location and his intentional circumvention of them indicates William was still an insider at Freddy's 0. With Freddy's 0 NOT closing because Charlie was murdered OFF the premises, this leaves william free to study the Puppet and learn about Remnant and murder IN the restaurant later. Problem number 2: Asserting that Charlie is 3 years old or so is kiiiinda without evidence. I think it's far more likely she's closer to 7-10, given the general age of pizzeria guests and the fact that she had a social circle of children who locked her out of the building while laughing at her. That doesn't generally happen to 3 year olds. I'm still not entirely sold on the 5 keys story necessarily relating to Charlie (Especially since the game as shown indicates Cassidy didn't need her help) My best guess about the keys story would be that it's a parallel to William actually. When given the choice to use the remnant to perhaps bring his daughter back, he might have actually thought about doing it before ultimately deciding he'd rather study the MCI and her. There's a lot of possibilities, including that that passage HAS no direct parallel, that Cassidy could be the one in question who could help someone rise but chooses instead to keep everyone trapped torturing william, etc. etc. Problem number 3: If we're actively introducing more murders into the series, rather than assuming the child-shape inside Funtime Freddy is actually just the storage tank for kidnapped children, then we run into a problem with MoltenMCI, as there's potentially more children we don't know about that are in the funtimes. That can open up a number of possibilitieiffs, sure, but it can also open up some problems as well. William returning to destroy the animatronics later could be any number of things if he's in the business of making his own remnant this early on. Though I don't see a reason why William would risk going into obviously dangerous circumstances when he could just wait a bit for the Rental Service to do the job for him, especially if Baby (proof of concept that she is) demonstrates that that's exactly what he was going for at this point in the timeline to begin with. To be fair though, this would solve the problem of Soul Splitting, but leaves us with the 'five things become one' as a parallel only for new kids who were in the funtimes. You are correct that the rationale is strange, especially the idea of William trying to create another ringleader, when there's very little way he could establish that causal link beyond the puppet bringing them to life. It would make MORE sense if you were to discuss William trying to use Baby to force a new batch of murdered kids to come to life, but that THAT didn't work, so he resorts to the SCUP and the old remnant from his previous victims, but then why the child containment unit? Ultimately, the best theory we have for this is that William took the previous remnant for experimental purposes, figured out some of how it worked, then outfitted the funtimes to attempt to acquire more remnant. That's the most logical timeline. Problem number 4: It doesn't really make sense for Cassidy to be setting up the Happiest Day if Charlie's gonna be the host. Narratively it doesn't make sense for Cassidy to end what Charlie started, especially since in the end Cassidy is the one who decides not to move on and to try to torture Slick Willy. Charlie is the only spirit, Narratively, with the wherewithal + motivation to try to get them all to move on. Cassidy has the wherewithal, but not the motivation as they want to continue hunting Afton who's not *dead* at this point. the MCI lack enough agency and (if MoltenMCI is to be believed) this won't even help them since they're all split up (IMO, Happiest Day is the strongest piece of evidence AGAINST MoltenMCI, assuming we're not doing soul-splitting or duplication, it just doesn't fit the timeline). Charlie is the only still whole spirit with the mentality for moving on. Charlie is the only spirit who can possibly be trying to make this end at that point. Also her mask floating slower to the ground at the end is a clear indication that she's seeing this to the end. She's making sure to be the last one out and thus she has some control over this. That's not to say I'm negative on this theory overall, I just think we disagree on SOME of the FINER points. Still, very good take, as always.

This is likely drawing from the Novels, as she DID die when she was 3 years old there... even if the timeline for that gets REALLY messy, with several stated ages being pretty far off from that.

And another at 1979, or 1982 instead of 83. >That doesn't generally happen to 3 year olds. I mean, children ARE assholes, i could see a bunch of 8~ year olds or younger tormenting a 3 year old they barely know, especially if they know she's the owner's daughter. I will note as well: Personally, i'm FOR the Soul Splitting. One half of the MCI goes into the Funtimes after FNAF 1 closes, the other stays within the shells, going through Happiest Day in FNAF 3 thanks to the Puppet (who's physically there for that purpose, possibly even uttering that UCN line at him during FNAF 3's events? It WOULD fit perfectly) This would also explain Happiest Day better, it WOULD still be Canon, and it'd still explain why the Puppet is last, they arent done yet, while the others (4 kids + CC) finally rest. It'd certainly disorient them, and lead towards the Funtime Half going feral practically, but i imagine they'd still be largely people-like when split in two...

    @@higueraft571 It seems more like a stretch to me that the Security Pupper would be blocked in the first place, given the restaurant was recovering from the death of one of its founders' children on the property.and the security pupper was a measure put in place to prevent further problems. William knew his way around the security, as was evidenced in many future and current events. Drawing Charlie's age from the novels seems like a folley to me, and furthermore, asserting Charlie died in 1980-1983 asserts that her death is before the bite of '83, which doesn't make sense of the security puppet. Assuming she was born in 1979, she couldn't really have been less than 4, but given her propensity for rational thought, and that she looks the same as the other kids who locked her out in all depictions of the scene, I'd wager she's probably between, as stated before 7-10. 6 would be the youngest I'd go, ans 12 would be the oldest. Given that William was likely stewing in his grief for some time, given the general state of michael and the family by the point of 'later that night', I don't think it happened quite as close together as you seem to think it did. The evidence of the games contradicts the novels in this regard. I also don't think 8 year olds locking a 3 year old out is all that likely, especially since, as stated, they all looked exactly the same in every depiction. I think it's not unreasonable to assume the funtimes are powered by some of the eenergy of the MCI, but that it's not so much a 'soul' as the leftover mass of living hatred, The souls have moved on by 6. I don't think that splitting is quite right as a term. It took power from the originals, without actually being the same as a soul. This would also explain the Agony vs Remnant thing. Agony is the physical power left over from the violent deaths, where Remnant wold be the literal soul, and be able to move on when it likes. Not only would this explain the feral behabvior, but it wouldalso indicate that happiest day works withontimes or the Puppet's actual achievement during happiest day, which would be invalid if only part of the souls were put to rest.

Charlie must have been killed after the bite victim . this explains not only the puppet, but the fact that Wiliam wants to kill Charlie in the first place. The book timeline for charlie doesn't fit with the game timeline for charlie for many reasons. Agony and Remnant may be book terms, ut they can adequately explain the split without carrying any of the rest of the book context into the story. Otherwise, to me, happiest day doesn't make sense, as it distinctly does show the puppet moving on.

It's a fresh soul gaslit into thinking it is :V >as it distinctly does show the puppet moving on. Much, much slower than others seemingly. It stands out like a sore thumb. >Agony and Remnant may be book terms, ut they can adequately explain the split without carrying any of the rest of the book context into the story. In my theory anyways: Agony and Love are *components* of Remnant. To give a rough visual diagram: Agony ??? ??? v v v Dark Remnant V Remnant (The Soul) ^ Light Remnant ^ ^ ^ Love ??? ??? Agony and Love are the strongest types of their Remnants, as mentioned by Phineas Taggart. Agony can survive the transfer from person to object on it's own, is the only known one that can. Love (as Taggart names it) presumably is what Dr Talbert was researching, and incorrectly named it just "Remnant", possessing regenerative properties potentially. I suspect Agony not only can survive, but can act as a conduit/line to allow the other flavors to pass through as well safely. You can apply this directly to Book Charlie, actually. Henry *literally* pours his love and agony into the Ella doll, and creates a brand new soul from it. AR also reinforces that there's two flavors, as it has you stuff both into animatronics. If any entity's a pure being of Agony, i'd have to say it's the Shadows specifically. As for why the MCI kids would be acting so feral? It's not even anything Agony or Remnant related exactly. They've basically had their minds scrambled, split, rearranged, and mixed together and such, while also being left to their own minds for nearly *50* years if SB is in 2035. The books DO reinforce the idea that the dead can and will forget over time, and that they need the "pieces put together" sometimes. In the novels, it'd only be around 8-9 years after their deaths and they already forgot William killed them, and who they are/began believing they're the characters. Not to mention Blob sucking up globs of Remnant from GOD knows where, that'd only be diluting them further. Or, simply put/a tl;dr, "Spiritual Alzheimer's". Some like William and Cassidy are capable of surviving/remembering MUCH better than others. (this is partially speculation though, they havent been blended yet, or gone through half the shit the MCI kids did)

    I like this theory. I always assumed Charlie leaned toward being protective because that was what the puppet was programmed to do; (It was made to protect kids, it still responds to the music box like programmed to, and is lured into Lefty based on the Puppet's programming). I figured Charlie was more capable of reasoning because the puppet had a more advanced Ai, capable of tracking the wristbands throughout 3D space, even into the alley outside apparently; contrasting the Band, which have relatively simple directives related to their performance. But this video did made me consider that its electronics might have fried in the rain and never been fixed, leaving just Charlie (and possibly some residual artificial mental impulses).

I still prefer the idea that Baby is the one in control (Mostly because of how confusing Elizabeth becoming a psychotic murder is, at least the MCI kids have an excuse) and it still serves as a foil to how Charlie and the puppet’s possession works, Charlie controls the body of the Puppet but Elizabeth is just the thing that makes Baby more dangerous.

    On the memory thing around the 9 minute mark, it also seems like remembering what happened is only a trait in the more aware and powerful victims. Charlie remembers what happened, Cassidy remembers what happened, Elizabeth remembers what happened in her own incident, Fritz might somewhat remember (at least enough to not trust the mask in FNAF 2), and everyone else has little to no memory of the MCI or their life pre possession and equally minimal power. Not exactly relevant, but I figured it was worth bringing up.

    I think it falls more from the novels, since there is no puppet, they have to make a reason for it why the mci stuck inside the animatronics through the warped version of their Happiest day. Susie gives example that the spring bonnie helped her find her puppet, meaning she doesn't remember dying by the hands of william, but lead her to her puppy which and why they don't trust adult as William explained it, adults be taking them away from their happiest day. The Movie also plays on this, while not fully showing exactly they have memories, but they do see the rabbit as their friend which means they had to have some happiest memory to trust him till Abby reminds them he was their murderer. But this is also depends what Fnaf 2 gonna be as Garrett might be the puppet and he isn't a child protector like Charlotte so it's gonna be a different route. The games are bit tricky, Puppet giving them life, but UCN puppet says "The others are like animals" meaning they aren't fully self aware, but are aware enough to know "night guard is bad" hence why they attack you in fnaf 1 & 2. My curious question in all this is why Charlotte and Cassidy were given powers to do things while William and Elizabeth didn't

The house is in a gloomy, heavily forested, fairly isolated area taking place during a stormy night which constrasts to the bright, sunny, vibrant neighborhood seen in FNAF 4 minigames. It seemed thematically and environmentally opposing to convey the current state of the Aftons from how they used to be (fairly normal if slightly dysfunctional family to being full on depressed and falling apart) following a death in the family. I hope that makes sense.

    I feel like baby is truley confused. If you compare the original animatronics to baby, the originals were likley confused, but had a goal. Baby's only goal was to be freed from the sl bunker. After that and ennard split up, baby didn't know what to do. She didn't have an easy way to be freed. So when she was called to ffps location that was the next inherent thing to do. Essentially I really don't think baby nessisarily has evil intentions, but moreso gone insane, as well as helping after her goal is met. I personally belive baby was fully aware that Michael was the one they were controlling as ennard. However when they leave she doesn't have any real motive to hate Michael, so she "gives him the will" to not die, as she should have 0 negative feeling twoards mike, so she makes sure he dosnt die undeservedly.
