    Great video man! And honestly good point about a lot of the details in FNAF being bluff bait. Like you said, the more details you add at the beginning for no reason, the more you can pull from later on in the franchise and make it seem like you had it planned all along. I see that a lot in FNAF storytelling.

    Could also explain why Afton kills even more kids. He simply snaps in grief. His son dies, then he kills Charlie for revenge, and at that point, he's psychotic and just starts killing random kids because if he can't have his kid, then nobody else should enjoy their kids either in some twisted logic of an insane person. Meanwhile, he's doing experiments with infusing souls into animatronics in some effort to bring his son back or somesuch. It's a much better explanation than "MUWAHAHAHA I'M EVIL FOR NO REASON!"

He killed Charlie in 83. And the missing kids before Elizabeth died. However the reason he killed the kids according to the books was for immorality. Its also said in the books he is highly jealous of Henry. Police finding papers he wrote about his hatred to near worship of Henry.

    I think that Scott writes with loose ideas and then when people get confused about certain parts or a big interest is generated in a particular character he just expands on those ideas and changes things to fit. It works because it's so loose. Kind of reminds me of a d&d game almost. The problem though is after a while it becomes harder and harder to stack those loose ideas and course correct because the narrative inevitably becomes very convoluted and harder to keep track of.

    This makes total sense! Also a side note: Why would William drink if his life is presumably going well? It’s because he just lost his youngest son not too long ago. He begins to drink and lash out at Micheal because William claims that it’s Micheal’s fault (which I don’t blame him for that, Micheal was kinda the guy throwing him into the ol’ chomper.). William, in a drunken rage over his son’s death and possible hatred for the company, since it was the robots that the company made that did his son in, kills a child outside of Fredbear’s to either take out his rage on another child without being caught, or to experiment with bringing people back to life.

    This theory does really work! There might also be an explanation as to why do Michael and Mrs. Afton have the similar text colors. What I think is that it represents Michael being more alike his mother personality-wise. He might physically look more like his father William Afton but his character is very different from William's, which can be explained by that Mrs. Afton was the one to take care of him most of his childhood. The fact that Michael feels strong guilt about what he did to his younger brother also might prove that because if Michael's personality was also much alike William's he'd have never felt that much guilt, strong enough for him to go out of his way to break the window just to visit his brother's grave. While Michael feels guilt about what he did, William doesn't feel anything about him killing Charlie which would then lead to him go after the other children as well. It also seems like she might've died rather than divorced, judging by that she has no hair in the midnight motorist cutscene and I think it's a common knowledge about what kind of disease would make a person go bald. Michael retains his mother's personality after Mrs. Afton passing away which can be seen by him in the later games as he goes to find Elizabeth Afton as baby, as he sits through the night shifts in the restaurants while supposedly trying to solve the crimes because not only he wants to make up for his mistake but also fix what his father did. In the end even if we take the theory that Glamrock Freddy in Security Breach represents the soul of Michael Afton for granted we may see how much caring he is about Gregory, being like a caring parent to that boy which Mrs. Afton really was as well to her own children and to Michael in particular. That may work even more perfectly if we consider Vanessa representing Elizabeth's soul, and if William was the one to take care of her in her childhood before she was kilked by Baby that would've made her being much like William personality-wise while supposedly being more like her mother in appearance.

Clara constantly needling Vlad to take care of baby = William needing to take responsibility for the murders. Vlad denying the baby is his = William denying him killing despite its obvious he’s the one who did it. The nursery and working the graveyard shift, that his pay will be docked = Police spending a week investigating to find out what happened to SAVE THEM kids.

And just as OP here said in the comments, about William not acknowledging Micheal as his own child, must've caused a spark of hatred and jealously from Micheal to the Crying Child. Like, your close parental figure left/died(?). Your other parental figure doesn't even see you as his own kid and you have no other parental figure to help you with your grief of losing your closer parental figure. Oh and that neglectful parental figure of yours loves your siblings more than you. I can see why he ended that way but it's definitely not an excuse for him to bully his younger sibling.

    My guess is this is a certain period of time after C.C’s burial. If he went “off to that place again”, that likely means it’s a semi-regular occurrence for him. I’m willing to bet this takes place a long while after C.C’s burial. Several weeks to a couple months perhaps? Maybe even a year or so? This would also explain why William isn’t allowed at Jr’s. He’s miserable, become an alcoholic over the period of time from C.C’s death, and went there long enough to be known regular and at some point cause a situation so severe it resulted in him permanently being kicked from what we can only assume is a bar. Perhaps it’s the anniversary of C.C’s death, or maybe this is a regular thing for William and Micheal? Either, it likely takes place sometime after the burial.

    I always thought that the person who ran away was Micheal, I'm pretty sure cc wouldn't do such thing Also, I have the theory that old man consequence is Henry Emily, and the "bear"(which represents golden freddy) who drowns in the lake is Cassidy. basically the minigame is when Cassidy "left William to the demons" and sets her soul free, and the things that Henry said were an advice for Cassidy, "let the demon (William) to his demons, rest your own soul". Also, if you speed up the soundtrack of the old man consequences secret minigame, you can hear William screaming Henry and Mike's name, asking for help.

    Oh shoot I didn't even realise this theory barely used details from the books as evidence until you said so at the end, that's honestly pretty commendable, and I agree they are a bit of a crutch at this point in the theory scene. This was really well constructed and I was fully with you the whole way through. The TV thing did make me think ok where is this going but it actually works in the context that this theory proposes, in a rather narratively sound way too. I was always a believer that the person in the chair wasn't Michael, but this video provides a solid explanation for a very plausible answer. Love it.

    Maybe it's Michael some time after the bite accident because he does look a little older, assuming CC was "put back together" and now stays in the FnaF 4 house which is different from the layout of the house next to Fredbears, and the nightmares are literally just nightmares, while the days before the party are flashbacks to before the bite, before CC was put back together. So it makes sense Micheal would be sympathetic to CC since it wad an accident. Also I think the patch of dirt in midnight motorist is the secret entrance to the elevator that leads to the sister location. It is underground afterall, but it could also be CCs human remains.

    There is one big issue with your theory. The survival logbook says otherwise and that CC has been gone for a while. We see Cassidy talk to the bite victim through out the book, asking him questions like "does he still talk to you?" near a drawing of the fredbear plush, or "do you remember your name?" and "The party was for you." The crying child responds to Cassidy and it's made pretty clear that he does not remember anything about his previous life and is basically stuck in a limbo between life and death, an endless pitch black void where he can hear the voices of dead people and living people.

    I honestly just came back to FNaF1-FNaFWorld to try and look at it from the new perspective (I wish I also read FF), and I forgot how confusing it is. Back in the 2017 I've thought about the idea of CC being Michael, and since then I gave it all my trust But at one point we had a really long night debate with a group of friend after Matpat's "CC = Sammy Emily" theory, and I realized that there's always something in the francshise that completely contradicts almost anything. And if it doesn't, then there's a thousand ways to interpret it. I think FNaF unironically needs a reboot. I would love to see Steelwool or someone else make a smaller location for a bigger story, like Family Diner. It could tell a lot about everything! Love your idea! I think it is still possible that this and FNaF 4 gameplay are separated events because there's things for me to believe FNaF 4 happens in between FNaF 1 nights. I also think Michael was more afraid of Nightmare. He has a visible endoskeleton feet that would leave the same footprints, and he does kinda appear to follow Michael, both in FNaF 2 and 3 (and arguably SL)! It honestly leaves more questions to think about, but whatever

That would explain the no hair and Mrs. Afton being absent from the series! This would explain a downward spiral of William in the series. He just lost his kid to the brother who put him in the jaws of Fred-bear. His wife suffering from a severe illness that eventually led to her death. Not to mention that he just killed charlotte which was his first kill ever recorded in the series.his wife wouldn’t divorce him at that point it just doesn’t make sense. From this point in the timeline everyone’s prospective is that Williams business is thriving. This would also add to the ballora is Mrs. Afton. William would go onto take her remnant and inject it into ballora causing the animatronic to become possessed.

    Great video. Last week while my whole family, myself included, were sick as dogs with a stomache bug, and I spent a day and a half in bed, and the whole time my brain was fixated on the issue of midnight motorist. The explanations all fell into one of two categories: 1. Mustard Man is William and person in room is crying child. The problem here is that it makes the whole mini game pointless. It gives us absolutely no new or even interesting information. We already know William is a controlling father and crying child has a fixation on a specific place. What would be the point of making midnight motorist if the scene it contained didn't say anything? 2. Just the opposite. A theory so wild and out of left field and completely speculative that there's no plausible way it fits alongside the other fnaf 6 easter eggs, which are all fairly close to known source material. I buy almost everything you say which is very gratifying since the mystery has bugged me for so long, as I've never considered it "solved". My big reservation is that the theory is predicated on the assumption that Mustard Man is William Afton. Everyone's identity in the theory is projected off of that presumption, and that presumption is based solely off of what? The car? and that's it? Meanwhile, I frankly just don't quite buy William Afton as a drunk getting kicked out of a bar and bullying his kids. Even as Scraptrap, decades later, most of that being twisted as a permanently tortured spirit grafted to a series of bear traps that resemble a bunny, William's dialogue is reserved, intelligent, and...... patient. "What a deceptive calling. I knew it was a lie the moment I heard it, obviously. But it is intriguing nonetheless." As a tortured spirit zombie walking in a bunny robot, he's still calm and collected enough to recognize a trap, analyze it, walk into the trap on purpose, and mess with the person trying to trap him. Presumably before becoming Springtrap, Afton was even *more* calm and collected. The drunk driver kicked out of a bar to go home and argue with the kids just..... doesn't strike me as in character. Remember, this quote was written for the same game as midnight motorist, so this is how Scott thought of William at that time. That said I think this is far and away the best theory I've ever heard on the subject. It fits, contributes to backstory which is what fruity maze did in the same game, and isn't so wild and out there that it would require three games of its own to explore. Thanks for the work.

    Pretty cool but I just got a couple o nitpicks: -Nightmare fredbear if u look really closely has 4 toes, the footprints have 3 toes, heck it would make more sense for it to be N. Chica outside because she has 3 toes. A lot of people also point to the shadows as being a possibility. Maybe it is just N. Fredbear and a toe washed away in the rain, who knows. If I were you and I wanted to choose a yellow bear I would've went with golden freddy, cuz he's maybe fredbear, has 3 toes, and his phantom freddy form in fnaf 3 as mike's hallucination walking past the window would be a nice tie in. -Depending on who you think fredbear plush is, most people think its charlie, then charlie would already be dead by this point, as she may have died before fnaf 4 83 and possess the fredplush (perhaps) if you believe in charlie plush, it would date this to be prior to fnaf 4 83 -BV died in a hospital, so it would be kind of strange for them to just bury him in the deep forest with not even a tombstone, instead of a graveyard like in fnaf 6. -The dialog do be close to fredplush and bv, but if we were going to have to choose between couch person = bv, fredplush, and micheal, we'd go with micheal because the other two wouldn't make much sense given the context, and the dialog is more gray than white like bv's and fredplush is. -At timestamp 5:07, we can probably deduce that runaway kid's "rough day" probably wasn't having to bury the bite victim in the dirt pile, because the runaway kid has "ran off to that place again", meaning the dirt pile was probably more than a day old, unless that same day Mike ran off to the grave. These I guess would be explanation stuff for the stuff you brought up about the characters, but character personalities are kinda up for interpretation and not really hard evidence based: -The couch person being sympathetic is strange for micheal at this point, as when bv was alive he was mean. Micheal does do cruel pranks, however probably not as bad as william potentially beating his kids. Micheal, even being the meanie he is at this point, probably wouldn't go tell his dad he wants to beat up bv together as his beatings may be real severe and probably still loves bv as family. William only seems to be angry at the run away kid because he doesn't beat up the couch person though. -The bravery of the runaway kid does seem to not align with bv, however bv does at one point try to run towards the exit at fredbears (although fails). Also, this being before fnaf 4 83, could mean that BV is crying the way that he is now, because of "what he saw", perhaps sometime after he ran off. Maybe this could've triggered a change in micheal as well, making fun of how now bv is scared of the animatronics and acts like such a baby. -Micheal's motivation is really trippy here also... Micheal supposedly ran off to go to bv's grave pile because he was having a rough day as he just lost his brother and he was burried. I don't wanna be that guy but I think Micheal is over reacting. BV died in a hospital, I'd assume he would've been around when bv was being burried and that Mike also could visit any time in the day but instead chooses to break a window in the middle of the night, and also it would seem strange for william keep mike from visiting bv's grave with N. Fredbear outside, unless fredbear is a guilt thing william put. Thanks for reading my essay I subscribe u

    Well in Williams history it is a wound first inflicted on Henry. But not the first incident in the series. Also his motives were settled, until he sees the security puppet alive and tries to recreate it, causing the rest of the series. Fnaf 2’s phone guy confirms the company knows about the Puppet’s sentience “it’s always thinking and it can go anywhere”. If he could get Charlotte to walk again, why can’t he get his son too? I mean why would he be so specifically obsessed with remnant by making the funtimes if he had no motive related to it? Shouldn’t he just keep killing kids randomly? Why is there is so much lore built around the scooper and how it works and affects movement and life if Remnant wasn’t important to William and Henry? If Williams goal wasn’t to control how something comes back to life, then sister location becomes pointless. I feel like William only really makes sense when he’s a psychopath obsessed with trying to get his son to come back, and after he sees it can be done with Charlotte never stops trying to get it to happen the way he wants.

    ​@@siresquawks with that remnant stuff I think it's safe to say it'd make more sense as Immortality or just some basic "mad science" stuff (as in no motivation again), because William does NOT care for his kids at all, he is an abusive person Crying Child, not only does he spy on him, but after he discovers remnant via the funtimes, we see no attempt to bring him back at all, he just moves on to the other random kids - we also see in every FNAF 4 minigame Crying Child crying, and we only see William just keep doing his job and not caring at all, but also (possibly) leaves him trapped in the storage room Michael, if we assume he's the FNAF 3 and 6 player, he is aggressively trying to kill him Elizabeth, he is the most abusive towards (at least in the books) he slaps her constantly to the point this happens: "'Am I not enough?' she asked softly.'No, your not," He said firmly, looking away." - not to mention that he sent Michael down to "put her back together" which means it's entirely possible William knew that Elizabeth possessed Baby, so for the entire time Entertainment and Rentals was open, he not only leaves her down there and doesn't try to help, but also would allow random technicians to electrocute his daughter because he cares about her...? He also denies her wishes to go see Circus Baby who he's told is made just for her - which is a giant lie in itself - which is just because he's a bad father, if you look at the blueprints for Circus Baby she's the only animatronic who has an emergency stop feature, meaning he could've done that easily just so she could finally see Baby I thought he cared for his kids and that's the whole reason the story unfolds how it does too, but as soon as I shared that I immedately got told why it's the complete opposite, so I remember the reasons vividly, and it proves he doesn't care, there is no timeline (even in the books where anything can happen) where he does

    Yeah but a lot of events are subjective. Baby clearly cares about her dad enough to want to “make him proud”, and he took the effort to at least say not to go near baby (which is more than Silver Eyes William would). Not to mention in its own way, Psychic Friend Fredbear is his way of keeping the Bite Victim safe, though in a serial killer control freak kind of way. And based on the fact that the Fnaf 4 nights are mirrored from Michael’s Fnaf 1 experiences, Michael’s connection to Nightmare Fredbear, and that William took Psychic friend Fredbear down with him into the secret room (implying that the Bite Victim is no longer alive, meaning he should still have it), it seems more like the secret room was made to keep track of and control Michael, who is a trouble maker who killed his younger brother. Not to mention he basically sends Michael to his death for the events of sister location, implying William’s hatred is almost squarely focused on Michael in the game’s continuity. And there’s the Vanessa Divorce story in Security Breach, where it’s mentioned she was manipulated by her dad to swing the custody battle in “Bill’s” Favor. Now why Vanessa seems to be Elizabeth could be any number of reasons, but point is, this implies that William still wanted custody of his kids. Game William is a psychopath who wants control over everything in his life after his youngest son died. Interestingly, Baby’s shock button is the only one in the game to seemingly not work all the time. It works on night 1, but not night 2 onwards. And hand unit specifically tries to get you to not go to her room for maintenance, implying that the fundamentals of the facility are biased in her favor. William definitely isn’t a good parent, but he’s not just an asshole like the novel version. There are rules and behavior patterns shown in the series.

    I don’t think Scott is changing the meaning, or adding meaning where it isn’t there. I’m pretty sure he’s just telling the same story from different perspectives. Scott’s problem is that, after showing both sides, he wants his fandom to meet it in the middle, and they never do. So instead of leaving it as is, he just retells the story in a new game. He’s been doing this ever since Fnaf 2. He does change things as he goes along, but each lore change could be an active effort to tell the same emotional story in a more clear way. Edit: this is why he wrote all of those books in the first place. Think about it, it’s the same three themes explored in each book. The books are there to spell out the emotional aspect of this story. It’s not straight-forward, because emotions aren’t either.

Also, relooking at the evidence I provided, I think the IV bag/vase of flowers can be explained by what matpat said in his latest theory, which is further supported that those objects appear out of nowhere randomly when you turn to the bed (indicative that it's an illusion, though the logistics of that seem weird, so maybe a hallucination). Further evidence for the pov being michael is the crying child room =/= the fnaf 4 game room (though i'm pretty sure cartography in the games is a bit screwed up lmao, at least the main details seem to be very absent (two doors, bed away from door, no closet etc.)). Couter-point to this (and thus evidence for dream theory) is what fingertrap (very clearly mirroring springtrap) as well as chica's missing beak (called out by scott, so very clearly representing fnaf 2) are doing in a cutscene of the past. So you could be right, idk.

    Do you think this clip and the opening screen / gameplay from FNAF4 suggest Afton always, literally, had animatronics around the house? Because I feel like the events of FNAF4 aren't just dreams, but memories of things actually being around the house.

    All I know is that its 80’s music playing in that mini game. But I fully agree with this. Mike is strong enough to break that glass window and run out. But the steps of the animatronic throw me off. Ooooor. The other window is CC room and when Mike saw the animatronic in the window and bam. Busted window.

    To put the nail on the coffin to confirm this (if you hate using the books for theories dont read this comment): On the 8th Fazbear Frights book Gumdrop Angel, the third story called What We Found is about Hudson, who in his childhood got abused by his father, and now has found a job as a night guard at a place named Fazbear Frights, which is the FNaF 3 location. During one of his night shifts, he sees an animatronic, Springtrap. During another night shift (or the same, I really don't remember the story that much), Springtrap starts attacking him, while either Springtrap says things that Hudson's father used to say, or Hudson is imagining Springtrap saying things that his father used to say. Because Springtrap is William Afton, and in the story Springtrap is saying things Hudson's father used to say when abusing Hudson, to me that feels like a parallelism with William and Michael, and if in the story Hudson is kind of like Mike, and Hudson got abused, that probably means that Michael was abused by his father.

    I remember just before FNAF 4 released (might've been just after), Scott said he'd only done one real retcon and that he didn't like the idea of retconning things willy-nilly. It seems a bit strange that he would now admit to 'retconning things all the time'.

    There was an idea awhile ago that William killed Henry’s daughter because Henry knew how to infuse animatronics with remnant or some sort of life or had a theory about doing so and then when Williams kids died he asked Henry for help and when Henry said no he took his kid away so he’d be more willing to do it or would do something that William would be able to replicate I know it probably doesn’t fit with the lore cause nothing does but I thought it was a fun thought to add

    I'd like to propose a question, are you actually Michael in FNAF 4? It would explain the fact that Nightmare Fredbear haunts him outside his window (and in my theory) in his dreams, and other references to FNAF 4 in other games it's the memory of what he did to his brother fucking with him and giving him the nightmares of the Nightmares idk

    The Nightmares also attack with very similar patterns to the FNAF1 animatronics. Also, you can hear a backwards version of a phone guy message at random points during the nightmare. We're definitely Michael in FNAF4. The timeline is the only question. What little signs there are seem to point to during the events of FNAF1. Perhaps Michael is being influenced by his brother. If there's any truth to the idea that William was messing with the CC's head as well and making him see these things, then maybe CC is showing Michael what happened to him, and that's what truly starts off Michael's journey into discovering what his father has done. But that's just me, as I'm of the firm belief that the FNAF1 location was Michael's first job (Jeremy and Fritz are just Jeremy and Fritz), and SL came later.

    "The Shadow fears me" is NMF's most-interesting line _by far_ and I've questioned its meaning for a while now. I tried to make it work for Shadow Freddy/Bonnie, since that's the most literal association we have with the word 'shadow', but it... doesn't really make sense.

    Tbh I always thought that "he's had a rough day" line was Will's thoughts, and that Mike is the couch guy (based off the solid evidence that Mike likes watching TV in SL lol) and explains why Will can't interact with Mike any further during the minigame. Mike's had a rough day, Will's going to leave him alone. 🤷‍♂️

    Fuhnaff mentioned about the glass scraps on Security Breach which made me rethink this Midnight Motorist. I don't agree that someone went out from the inside but rather something from the outside went inside the house. Why? If you check the back of the house, there's no glasses below the window out of the house. If you break the window from the inside, the glasses would be outside. If you break glass outside, glass shards would be inside the house. Question. Do you see any glass outside the house in midnight motorist? No? Then that meant someone from the outside went inside that house.
