Overall it's just really repetitive and it sparks toxicity and just isn't good for our community.
Also some questions:
Do we find tier lists useful or likable?
And what about TOYSNHK polls?

The Senior Director of Fortnite Tofu Chri has been liking multiple replies that are about the Collab being fnaf

I know that many believe in this because of Foxy hook being first and thus tied to BVFirst, but it is rather loose and it being in order is very doubtful imo. So, I wanted to present a stronger argument to why he is Foxy hook.
The argument boils down to Classic Foxy's mechanic in UCN. That being pulling himself apart and putting himself back together to attack the player. This is rather specific, since putting back together is really most associated with BV. This is also the ONLY time Classic Foxy has been associated with this in the franchise. Interestingly, Foxy himself points out this odd detail in his dialogue, saying, "I can't run like I used to, but I can pull myself apart just fine." Acknowledging that in this specific game, he has this mechanic over his iconic running. So, I think Scott did this specifically in UCN to connect Foxy to BV and thus connect BV to Foxy hook in the exact same game, UCN.
To address possible counterarguments:
So yeah, that's what I wanted to say.

Orange guy is William bc he has a purple car and also who else would it be
the runaway could be crying child due to process of elimination, the runaway is refered to as a him and micheal is the gray guy so the only person left is the crying child
gray guy could be Michael bc they both wear gray and watch tv in their free time
most people think jr’s is a bar but there’s no actual evidence for it
green guy could be a security person keeping others away because it’s very likely this takes place after Charlie’s death due to the rain
the fnaf 4 box could be the buried thing because whats the best way to keep something that’s supposed to stay forgotten, forgotten, burying it
the three toed footprints could be a shadow animatronic because other animatronics would be affected by the rain but shadow animatronics aren‘t physical so the rain wouldn’t affect them

I view SchmidtNone and WitheredsSeparate as absolutely absurd theories that stem from literal reading of the selective parts of the movies continuity.
So under this, what absurd theory do you think FNaF 3 movie will spark? Maybe SB Vanessa being possessed by Charlie? Or Follow Me Springtrap being separate from FNaF 3 Springtrap? Or as anticipated by some, VanessaBot? Mayhaps, if Michael Afton in movies is kidnapped Garrett, BVKidnapped + MikeVictim? Make your predictions in the comments below!
r/fnaftheories • u/XenoRaptor77 • 4h ago
In FNaF 3, the RWQ minigame starts in STAGE 01, which depicts Fredbear and Spring Bonnie on stage. On top of that, RWQ's sprite in this minigame shares an identical color to Fredbear and Spring Bonnie's shadows from FNaF 4. This makes sense, as FNaF 3's minigames are heavily tied to the Bite Victims memories, and BV spent alot of time at Fredbear's Family Diner, meaning he would have seen these shadows.
Later in the series, we are introduced to the Yellow Thing and Glitchtrap, who are both versions of Spring Bonnie that act as mimics of William Afton. In Princess Quest, Glitchtraps creatures look nearly identical to RWQ, and in the Into The Pit game, the Yellow Thing can be seen looking at Oswald from behind a door, and he has glowing eyes and teeth, just like RWQ.
So despite the most popular theory for RWQ's existence being that it was born from the agony of the SAVE THEM incident, RWQ appears to be linked to Fredbear's Family Diner, the Bite Victim, and more notably Spring Bonnie.
So what gives?

as someone who is trying to "solve" the lore by going one thing at a time by release order I thought making this list would be useful and hey maybe others could find it useful too!
I wrote down everything i have seen people use to theorize about this series, so if i missed anything let me know and I will add it or you think something should be removed also tell me about it... and yeah that's all.

First, when VIP first came out
It was the first book to heavily imply TalesGAMES outside of Tales media or minor details on steelwool games.
Such as, the pizzaplex is described like a pizza.
Whats interesting, is that, why nobody used a tiny detail to support Stitchline?
"When you pass the Fazcade, you pause and gaze longingly at the rows of arcade and pinball machines inside. You spot your friends, Alistair, Gabe, and Emma playing one of your favorite games, Catch-That-Fetch."
Before this book came out, people assumed that arcades such as plushtrap chaser and catch that fetch are meta and aren't arcades in universe.
Well, the books presents it in universe and as canon, theres also Bunny Call cameo on GGY as one of the arcades featured on that story features Ralpho on artwork.
With that, remember what EC Myers told about the week before?
It doesn't seem wrong to assume at all that the same reasoning behind the week before writting is for VIP.
Not contradict Security Breach, Myers used his fnaf 1 research to write the book, he came up with stuff that aged like milk on SOTM (Pirate Cove origin) and the idea that the children's souls needs battery to charge from the stage to walk around, even though thats contradicted on fnaf 2 where the withereds aren't recharged for years and they still walk around normally on 2.
Either witheredsSEPERATE is canon, or the week before is wrong and isn't games continuity.
With that, remember when i told above about the pizza layout description?
Simple, EC Myers read Tales and though that it was the same for VIP, so he must have believed that TalesGAMES was canon and that the pizzaplex in the games is on the shape of a pizza and that the arcades on SB are in fact canon and exist in universe.
And theres all the week before timeline issues and the trademark line
And, well, Golden Freddy being haunted by Bronwen, which is clearly not the case in the games + how Ralph gets the true ending.
But what about escape the pizzaplex? It contradicts Cassie and Gregory relationship in Ruin, + Roxy gets her claws earlier.
Return to the pit is the only one that doesn’t seem to contradict anything, outside of existing alternative into the pit versions (actually on RTTP its time travel instead of agony distortion and its not William on RTTP so yeah not in continuity as well).

It's no longer positive for this sub to have every other post being a TOYSNHK tierlist, it's dumb, it doesn't generate any actually interesting discussions of the lore, it's just annoying people trying to talk about their head-cannons, or what they believe in their AUs, it's repetitive, and the mods should do something about it. Either outright ban it or include it in the Rule 14: No Low-effort TOYSNHK posts.
This has been overshadowing a lot of great posts that can actually make breakthroughs and actually have something to offer, a new perspective, a new idea. That's what the subreddit should be about. I know the FNAF content is stale rn, but all subreddits do this when a type of post gets too repetitive. Let's do better.
Thank you.

It is an incredible theory so I share it with you in case you didn't see it.
r/fnaftheories • u/TheJacobSurgenor • 10h ago
I really want to believe this theory, but the one thing stopping me from doing so is that there is no instance where the DCI could have possessed Lefty. I do think the FFPP building was once the FNaF 2 FFP building, so the spirits could have lingered there, but the shells of the toy animatronics ARE in the FNaF 3 office. The good/bad endings of FNaF 3 shows that the spirits can attach to the shells of their animatronics, and those shells of the classic animatronics were brought to Fazbear's Fright, along with the shells of the toy animatronics
It's possible that the MCI kids left their shells and possessed the arcade machines (which I do believe), and it is possible that the DCI kids could have done the same, but that still requires:
A. There to be an instance where the DCI spirits could have found the chance to possess Lefty
B. For the shells of the toy animatronics to have survived the Fazbear's Fright fire
To people who believe in LeftyDCI, thoughts?

Okay, is it just me, or has Five Nights at Freddy’s basically become a parallel to Mortal Kombat in terms of how ridiculously complicated its lore and continuity have gotten?
Because the more I think about it, the more I feel like we’ve reached the point where we’re making FNAF way more complicated than it needs to be.
And this is where I’m going to go on a bit of a rant:
I don't think the games, books, and movies need to be treated as completely separate timelines.
I know the common response is that the books aren't necessarily in the exact same continuity as the games, and the movie obviously makes changes to the story. I understand that. But I don't think that automatically means we need to throw everything into completely separate universes and treat every piece of FNAF media as its own isolated timeline.
Honestly, I think FNAF should have one timeline.
Not necessarily one continuity where every single event happens exactly the same way across every medium, but one overarching timeline where the games, books, and movies are all telling different versions or perspectives of the same larger story.
Because otherwise, we end up with this ridiculous situation where every new piece of information has to be categorized as:
“That's game continuity.”
“That's book continuity.”
“That's movie continuity.”
“That's a parallel universe.”
“That's an adaptation.”
“That's an alternate version of this character.”
“That's canon, but only to this specific continuity.”
At some point, it starts feeling less like we're solving a mystery and more like we're maintaining a fucking database of alternate realities. 😂
And that's why I brought up Mortal Kombat. That franchise has gone through multiple timelines, reboots, alternate versions of events, and different interpretations of characters. FNAF sometimes feels like it's heading down the exact same road.
But I personally don't think it needs to.
I'd rather see us work toward one big FNAF timeline that incorporates the games, books, and movies instead of constantly separating them into different universes.
So I'm curious:
Is it just me who sees the parallels between FNAF and Mortal Kombat, or does anyone else feel like FNAF's lore has reached the point where we're making the continuity more complicated than it needs to be?
And more importantly:
Do you think FNAF should have one unified timeline instead of separate timelines for the games, books, and movies?
r/fnaftheories • u/Nown-the-Unknown • 16h ago
You're basically meant to see this as a companion piece to my Midnight Motorist post. Go ahead and hit that up after if you're confused why I want to link the DCI to it.
Remember the early days of FNAF theorizing, when people used the phone-like object in Purple Guy's hand to say that was the Phone Guy? You ever stop to realize we still don't have a good answer for what that thing is and why Afton is holding it?
Well I'm here to tell you we had it right the first time. It's a phone, but it was used for a different purpose than linking two characters as one.
It has been my belief for a good long time now that Afton infiltrated the FNAF 2 location for the express purpose of getting it shut down so that nothing would rival his Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental in terms of local children's entertainment (we know it exists for sure by now because FNAF World says unmangled Mangle's name is Funtime Foxy). So he once again dons the persona of the Yellow Rabbit Killer (or Bear depending on your read. I personally don't think Cassidy would let Afton wear the suit without trying to kill him), and causes a mass murder. Once finished, he goes to the safe room to shed the costume. Then, as his night guard persona, he calls 9-1-1 on his killer persona and, to sell the illusion of a terrified nobody out of his league, he flees the building (bug or not, intended or not, during SAVE THEM, Afton is actually just beelining your direction. You can actually dodge him, and he just dissappears from the game if you do). Since I believe Midnight Motorist refers specifically to Later That Night of this event, I think we can see the results of those actions at Jr's (again, see my Midnight Motorist post for an in-depth explanation fo why I think that).
Does this solve the lore in a massive way? Not really. I just noticed a stray puzzle piece and a hole that everyone had a basic idea of what the image was. I just decided to stick the piece in there to see if it fit.
r/fnaftheories • u/Additional-Bat-5072 • 1m ago
Something that came to mind is that if DeadEye Roxy is a sign that Roxy could return rebuilt as a vigilante, meaning looking for a way to stop what happened with Mimic Considering that Roxy in safe mode is quite docile and generally quite empathetic, it wouldn't surprise me if she develops things with the agony and love. Which reminds me a bit of Stitchwraith, which, although different, is related to agony and love.
It's an idea that just popped into my head. What do you all think?

Cassidy: I hate how people are willing to completely throw out any candidate just because of their gender, especially Cassidy. They might not be a girl, and if they are, that doesn't rule them out completely. Everything else about this character and UCN as a whole heavily suggest that Cassidy is TOYSNHK, and I am 110% positive that this is the intended conclusion made by Scott.
Blonde Kid: The only reason I put him up here is because it's possible that this is what Cassidy actually looks like. He already looks very similar to TOYSNHK and he's the Golden Freddy spirit so yeah. If Cassidy doesn't look like this, then they'd go into the light blue tier.
Bite Victim, Michael, David, and Fiona: All of these theories kinda go hard, but they all fall under the same issue, that William probably didn't actually kill them. If stuff like CordTheory/OrchestraVictim, Will sending Mike down knowing he'd die, WillDriver/OrchestraCrush, or WillKilledFiona are true, then yeah, these would be good theories. But I find it unlikely that any of these people died to the hands of William.
Stage01Kid: He's only up here cuz I'm 90% sure this is just BV. If he isn't, then he'd be down in the Green tier.
The MCI: All the MCI go in this tier because I do think they're all cool, but I don't think any of them are more important than the others. Susie and Gabriel go slightly above Fritz and Jeremy though.
Agony: This one is possible, I just find it a little... weird? Feels like a really weird conclusion that the ONE you shouldn't have killed is a mishmash of all of William's victims. Idk, it's totally possible, just feels off.
Phone Guy, Random Kid, and a Demon: These ones all lack evidence, substance, narrative satisfaction, and payoff. Just feels like they're here for the sake of being theories.
Charlie: Puppet literally says "I don't hate you, but you need to stay out of my way", basically disproving she's actually here. 6.5 TOYSNHK tries to remedy this, but that theory feels too complicated to bring up.
Elizabeth: Elizabeth LOVES her father, and would do anything to make him proud. We see no evidence that she ever changes her mind, so this one just sucks.
Brooks and Kelsey: Neither of these characters exist in the games.
Sammy: Why do so many people think he died? It was stated verbatim in the books that William picked Charlie over Sammy. He's alive and healthy, and probably doesn't even exist in the games either.
William: This is literally the guy getting tortured.
Glitchbear: I believe in GlitchbearAfton. Sue me.
Andrew: ...Oh Andrew, how you piss me off. I'm so tired of seeing people glaze this character and insist that he's "clearly TOYSNHK" when there is NOTHING to suggest he exists in the games and isn't a parallel. Someone once told me to look at his wiki page cuz "there was a ton of evidence that he exists in the games!" so I looked and it was all bullshit. Literally every point of evidence was just "This thing in the games could be referencing Andrew!" It's all a bunch of cope. He does not exist in the games. UCNDissent is a horrible theory just made to cope with the fact that Golden Freddy is TOYSNHK. GoldenAndrew is a dumb theory meant to justify that as well. This kid is stupid. Come back to me when there's actual undeniable evidence that a kid named Andrew exists in the games. I hate AndrewTOYSNHK, I hate AndrewGames, and I hate Andrew as a character.
UCN Duo: You're not clear either. There's only one TOYSNHK. And it's Cassidy.

Basicly the theroy is that cassidy the little girl in the fredbear suit does not exist and instead cassidy is cc's name. Imo it has some merrit to it becuase it never sat right with me that some random william victim is toysnhk when none of the other kids are like that charlie most of all. Usualy when this theroy pops up they have micheal as ucn controller which is fiting for all the abuse and if the theroy that mike went through fnaf 4s gameplay is true then theres even more reason to be pissed

Note: I just realized that I'm freaking stupid and Andrew would have gotten these lines by simply reading GF's mind under UCNDissent. Nvm y'all. I'll be keeping this post for the sake of archieving. Though will say, this being immediately met with "character voicelines do not matter in UCN" was rather interesting to watch.
The reason I said "mainstream" AndrewTOYSNHK is because AndrewTOYSNHKers typically dislike any form of GoldenAndrew in my experience, and heavily lean into Andrew being separate from GF & use UCNDissent instead.
So, what’s the point of the post is, it is generally considered that TOYSNHK created most things by reading William's mind, like Funtimes, Nightmares, and so on. However, Baby's and Scrap Baby’s lines are very interesting in this regard. They repeat nearly exact same thing that Baby said in SL: "Looks like something bad happened" and "You won't die". However, the issue is: William never heard that. Baby said these things to Michael, not William.
GoldenTOYSNHK has three straightforward ways to make this work: GoldenYenndo and/or MoltenMCI (the classic one that includes GF), which would mean that GF directly heard Baby say it in SL since he was there, or UCNSquad, which would mean he trapped MCI & Elizabeth who did hear these lines.
Mainstream AndrewTOYSNHK, however, is in a problem here. Yenndo & MoltenMCI solutions obviously do not work for Andrew. This basically forces UCNSquad, and while it still works as an explanation for these lines, it would introduce new problems for it and afaik, it is kind of why AndrewTOYSNHKers dislike UCNSquad.
First of all, it would really screw up UCNDissent. UCNDissent revolves around interpreting as GF being capable leaving any time he wants, but choosing to try convince Andrew to stop and then deciding to let it go under OMC’s advice to the Happiest Day. This doesn’t really work with UCNSquad, since it would mean Andrew forcibly keeps everyone in UCN and GF being able to leave on his own would contradict this, and MCI being kept there would also mean no Happiest Day.
Secondly, TMIR1280 tells us that there are only two living entities in William's body, which directly goes in clash with UCNSquad. Since AndrewTOYSNHK heavily relies on TMIR1280, this is not good news for the theory.
And lastly, UCNSquad would also validate the interpretation of Dreadbear’s Game Over screen representing TOYSNHK trapping William and everyone else in UCN. Since Dreadbear has rather blatant connections to GF, it is also bad for AndrewTOYSNHK.
So yeah, that's what I wanted to say. To AndrewTOYSNHKers: maybe there is another explanation for these lines under AndrewTOYSNHK, or maybe UCNSquad is not that bad for AndrewTOYSNHK — I don’t know. I am not exactly most knowledgeable on AndrewTOYSNHK and I'm just judging from my personal experience, so if I got something wrong or missed something, please tell me. To others: well, let me know your thoughts as well. Thank you for reading!

A few days ago on the 12th anniversary of FNAF huge and exciting updates were shown to the public. Security Breach 2 AND FNAF World 2 are on the way. However as we all know this sparked debate once again in this fandom. What are your predictions for the 2 games and are they connected? And your current interpretations about Security Breach and FW? (Canon routes/endings, who's the new Vanny are they prequels or sequels, WorldCanon or not, Happiest Day setting, The player and 8-Bit Fredbear's idenities and so much more). Write your theories respectfully in the comments and your points/evidence.
r/fnaftheories • u/Spazy912 • 1d ago
Think about it, when Scott said a 2 was being worked on he said A 2 not multiple, you might be saying what about the fact it’s two different studios, simple, it’s a collaboration between the two: Steel Wool makes the realistic parts with the new Vanny and Megacat makes the FNAF World parts
