UCN Roster of 2024

Probably the last time I am ever gonna draw this, so I thought why not go out with a bang and this time include pretty much every mainline pre-steel wool character, hah! ...It cost me 6 months of my life I'm never getting back....still worth it lol. Anyway here are some close-ups!

And here are my previous rosters! All ordered chronologically!

So...after drawing this stupid thing a total of 7 times now...I think its fair to say that its time to retire this yearly redraw, and give it the rest it deserves. I will forever be grateful for having it go from a fun thing I drew when I was bored to a short-lived yearly redraw that helped me track my art progression. Cya on the flipside!

[idsfantasy]

I know the theory by dual process theory is being one of the most heavily accepted theories now, but would be ok if just outright rejected it do to how much I’ve grown to love the character of Cassidy?

Tbh I don't believe it personally for a whole bunch of reasons, so I'd say yeah lol

As interesting as their theory is, its foundational evidence tends to be either incorrect (Golden Freddy did not have face plates, and as such could not have been the SL springlock suit. Bonnie may be able to have his entire face lifted off but that is definitely not the same thing and not even the same line of animatronics as Fredbear. Additionally, the Golden Freddy we see in UCN looks pretty much exactly like FNAF 1 Golden Freddy and doesn't have the purple accessories needed to be Fredbear as they claim) or very easily countered (Michael Afton has a British accent and was not killed by William. The Vengeful Spirit has an American accent and very specifically is the one William should not have killed, probably because if he hadn't killed them he wouldn't have ended up in UCN. Additionally, if the name Cassidy belonged to the Crying Child, why would the faded text spirit be writing "my name" to point to the clues? After all, the altered text in the word search does ask "what is your name" so it would make sense for the other spirit to respond by pointing to letters in the word search instead of altering it like CC)

Anyway yeah. Just cuz something is popular doesn't mean you should feel bad for not believing it, and you may just actually be right

THEM PLAYING FNAF⌇ft. ghost, soap, alejandro, price, gaz, and rudy

notes;; no i will not elaborate. here are my silly little headcanons of 141/ghost team playing fnaf <33

GHOST

• he’s actually determined to beat the damn game, doesn’t keep up with the game lore

• doesn’t even feel bothered the slightest by the jumpscares

• he enjoys playing fnaf 4 and ucn beating 50/20 mode

• when playing ucn 50/20, he’d check all cameras, death coin funtime foxy, close doors, put freddy mask, check vents, save power, all of that shit in less than 1.5 seconds

• gets intrigued by springtrap because of his design

• sympathizes with c.c./evan when he sees the cutscenes and the minigames in fnaf 4

SOAP

• he definitely gets jumpscared after focusing so hard on trying to make it through the night

• gets very frustrated and competitive when ghost manages to make it to 6am with no sweat

• is very creeped out by all the animatronic designs except for foxy from fnaf 2, who is his favorite

• doesn’t know much about the lore either, all he knows is that the animatronics are possessed by 5 murdered children

• when he played sister location for the first time with ghost, it suddenly became his favorite out of the rest of the games because of the storyline

• he’d rather play all the games with ghost more than playing alone

ALEJANDRO

• yeah he can’t play any of the games for shit, doesn’t gaf about lore either

• starts cursing when he gets jumpscared by 1am, rudy has to walk him through it

• is flabbergasted when he finds out about el chip in ucn

• thinks all the animatronics are ugly as shit

• he’s not even scared about the game, he just doesn’t know how to make it through the nights and it frustrates him

• as he plays more because of rudy, overtime he’ll eventually start to like the game and find it fun

PRICE

• doesn’t know shit about the game, only played because gaz showed him

• would probably keep the doors closed the whole time in fnaf 1 and then gets confused when his power runs out

• also thinks the animatronics are ugly as shit, gets mad when gaz points at freddy and says “thats you”

• would probably think this is a kids game, gaz doesnt mention to him the dark lore and storyline

• stays too long lurking on the cameras, actually gets scared when he flips it off and immediately gets jumpscared

• the best thing he did so far is close the door preventing chica from getting in

GAZ

• he definitely knows his lore and most of the fnaf timeline from watching matpat’s theories

• his favorite games from the franchise would be fnaf 4 and sister location, least favorite is security breach

• does some commentary and talks to himself whenever he plays, also likes to make fun of the animatronics for not catching him

• his favorite animatronics would be funtime foxy because of their design and golden freddy because of their lore

• sadly he can’t beat 50/20 on ucn unlike ghost, he’s tried several times but he just can’t

• has enjoyed playing fnaf dlc and other fanmade games like the joy of creation and dayshift at freddy’s

RUDY

• he knows everything about fnaf including the entire lore but is actually too scared to play it

• instead he watches coryxkenshin and markiplier playing all the fnaf games and fanmade games

• his favorite animatronics are springtrap, foxy, and toy bonnie

• he unironically listens to fnaf songs, has a whole playlist. his favorite fnaf songs would be “got no time” and “stay calm”

• secretly likes security breach, not just because its the least scariest but because of glamrock freddy and roxanne wolf

• can only manage to play the first two games because of the nostalgia from his middle school fnaf phase

[instaquarius]

"Why do I hear boss music?" POV

You're WIlliam Afton/Frisk/the Player after another Genocide run/murdering all the children

----------------------------------

So I've kind of claimed Cassidy as the 'Chara' but of FNAF instead of Undertale LMAO

cuz how similar they both are (cuz of genocide/events of FNAF 7/UCN)

With the fact both of them just kinda refuse to stay dead in a way?? (Or pass on and go to heaven or whatever and let things be)

Chara because of their determination mixing with Frisks’ (and personal headcanon because chara can’t rest cuz worried about the monsters still trapped underground/wanting them to go to the surface)

Cassidy just STRAIGHT UP being too angry/vengeful to let her soul rest (which, fair enough honestly) no matter how many times in game, everyone tries to exorcise her soul by burning away the remnant (the number 1 way to get rid of souls that still linger after death in the FNAF universe) she refuses to stay gone cuz Cassidy wants to make William Afton suffer for killing her and the other children (and succeeds over and over again in UCN) By FNAF 6 essentially every single soul possessing the robots including micheal afton and henry emily was supposed to burn in a final fire to send whatever souls that remained to the afterlife etc

I assume Cassidy was either among them, or HER soul was supposed to go in FNAF 3 (but she still lingered someway) and in FNAF 7/UCN we p much play as William Afton in purgatory or limbo in a sense being tortured for all eternity by all the souls he killed in the past and the true ending of that game if you beat 50/20 mode is seeing Golden Freddy in the void with both eyes glowing (symbolizing there's still a soul left posssessing the robot) twitching, meaning its Cassidy who sent William to purgatory/his own personal hell to torture forever cuz she's still pissed and won't let herself nor william's souls rest in peace)

And yeah- that shit reminded me of how kinda in the true genocide run after killing every single monster in the underground including Flowey, how Chara will just keep you the player/frisk in the void forever (i guess technically to torture for all eternity????? either by forcing you to watch as Chara destroys the whole ass world/timeline altogether with one knife swing, OR if you even attempt to do a Pacifist run after Genocide, it's implied chara just kinda kills all the monsters and humans on the surface anyways by fully possessing Frisks' body, to show the player there's consequences to their actions)

And basically makes it so the only way to get the happy ending again is to delete literally every single save file and everything undertale related from your computer, including the game itself and redownload

cuz a True Reset Chara still remembers your genocide run and they'll still block you from seeing the monsters be happy on the surface and stuff so like- thats why I wanted to draw them together tbh

They're both too fucking angry/determined to stay dead lmao

[melanodis]

Wait which one is Absolution au again

its more of an offshoot of garden of afton au with a similar premise but entirely different plot. it takes place during ucn where charlie decides she's tired of the afterlife and drags william on an adventure to try to fix his past mistakes and hope it could create a timeline where they aren't completely miserable. being forced to babysit a 9 foot tall sock monkey that can maul you. the only thing that they can't really fix is charlie and evan's deaths since she can't bring them back to before she died.

[iamtotallyfineokay]

A new game?

-

Hey guys, I decided to change the idea for a bit. In one of my last posts, I mentioned my idea of Yandere FNAF UCN. In another previous post, I also said my how Yandere UCN is just Ultimate Custom Night slowly becoming Ultra Custom Night, while the robots practically simp for reader dangerously. However, I realised how it might not be appropriate, as the creator of Ultra Custom Night would probably not want their game being used for x reader fanfics with the storyline of Left4Dead Lovesick FNAF edition in an office. So I tried to change it! Instead there is a FNAF fangame I made up in my head based off the FNAF community’s stuff, like fanmade animatronics and fangame characters for example. I’m still building the plot, so please ‘bear‘ with me. Enjoy!

-

You are (Name). You work as a small streamer online, with you gaining an adequate amount of subscribers and followers on Twitch and Tumblr, due to the FNAF content that you created. People like you for your SFM and Blender animations and your occasional FNAF memes. You even made fanmade FNAF merch which was pretty good. You recently requested your followers what FNAF games they want to see you play. Some of them began requesting games like Five Nights at Candy’s, Dormitabis or Animators’ Hell. Others stick to requesting original games like Pizzeria Simulator, FNAF World, and Security Breach. You then start playing the games your followers requested the next day on Twitch.

As you finish your run on Ultra Custom Night, you cross it off the list of requested games that your followers asked you to play. However, there was one odd request you were curious about. This request mentioned a game called The Last Terminal at Freddy’s, which you went on to find on Gamejolt in your free time. However, it didn’t exist(?), only having a Page Not Found screen on your computer.

However, according to the anonymous requester, they proclaimed that, like Ultra Custom Night, this new fangame has a lot of animatronics as well as new mechanics. The requester said, in a nutshell after that, the game is just if the whole community stuffed FNAF games, fangames, book and fanmade animatronics, all put into one game that is programmed and formatted like Ultimate Custom Night. They even mentioned that if The Last Terminal at Freddy’s was compared to Ultra Custom Night, UltraCN would be only about a percent of the content that The Last Terminal at Freddy’s has, as animatronics far and wide across the FNAF community are out in it, with the original FNAF animatronics, to the FNAF AR skins and animatronic variants, to wonderful fanmade animatronic variants, to even the smallest things like the FNAF easters eggs, loading screens and such.

Even though you were excited for it, there were other followers that responded to that requests, saying that the game is probably not real, it will be cancelled, or it might cause problems like lag or a virus being installed. You, however, like the naive Let’s Play player you are, had faith and waited for this new fangame, since the anonymous requester stated that the release date is around tomorrow, late at night, the time after you streamed your playthroughs of FNAF games. As you say goodbye to your followers while you shut off the stream, you were excited! A new fangame is coming! You then go to sleep, before waking up the next day, preparing a small meal, and going to Gamejolt to check on your computer to see if it’s there.

It was! It was released around midnight, showing impressive small leaks that weren’t enough to reveal much of its contents but just enough to show small gameplay clips and pics, with one image displaying a roster with instead a width of 15 characters! You grew giddy, straight to opening the game in the process. You then dive in blind as the first thing that pops up is a title screen reminding you of the formatting of the Animators’ Hell title screen. 6 animatronics take up each side of the screen revealing a middle showing the title of the game ‘The Last Terminal at Freddy’s’. You then notice that whenever 5 to 10 seconds has passed, a random animatronic on the title screen will be replaced by another one that isn’t on it. You then press the ‘Enter’ button on the screen. The roster was huge. It seemed like it never ended no matter how far you scrolled down your mouse down. It was always filled with only roster posters of animatronics taking up the screen. You saw a setting where cheats can be turned on, where there is no system to worry about running your run, and a system where you can’t die. You turn on these cheats, set the animatronics’ AI to one, and dive into your run. After that, you were met with piles of jumpscares frame by frame, before having to purposefully ending the night by turning your oxygen mask system off.

After that, you tried some fun challenges like ‘Candy’s Franchise’, where only FNAC 1, 2, and 3 animatronics are turned on, ‘Malhare’s Invasion’, where Springbonnie and his related variants hunt you down, and ‘Hot, Hot, Hot!’, where you mostly try to make your temperature as cold as possible, trying to prevent any fire-related animatronic come into the office to kill you. You were having a lot of fun in this. So when you checked the time, you were surprised it was getting pretty late. You also realised you didn’t turn on your camera to record this. Oh well, you can do it tomorrow on stream, it’s not like you played much of it anyway. You left the game, shut down your computer, then went on the rest of your day, although you can’t help but have a small gut feeling something strange might happen, so you try to shrug it off.

A bright flash of light awoke these haunting robotic mascots in a jolt like a shock. All they now see is black. Then, a dozen random animatronics see a face through bright mist against a dark background, while the rest stayed in their blinded state. A new player? Odd. The last time they were turned on was when a darkened figure tapped something in front of them, before all of them seeing black. However, they decide to stay put, though some of them were having a glitching effect after certain time intervals, before being swapped with another animatronic. This new face seems to have a jumpy, positive expression. Curiosity gets ahold of them. Let’s see who you are.

Numerous surprises await. You seemed quite happy to be in their presence, chuckling at certain animatronics who you adore secretly, complimenting the mechanics of others, while whole-heartedly just playing the game. This is new. It’s like facing childish innocence in an adult form, all grown-up while being jolly. The positive reaction they could get from players before you were the occasional comment of how this game is only a bit good while lacking content that could improve it.

This fun lasted so long they even forget time went on. To them it’s was hours and hours of fun, but to you, it was just only a few. Then there it was again. You greeted them goodbye, before pressing something in the corner and them seeing black. Oh.

Oh.

Oh well.

That’s sad.

It seems good things don’t last very long.

And it was quite tiring to be trapped in here after a ghost child named ‘Cassidy’ and a wicked old ghoul named ‘William’, battled each other and fought and fought and fought, only to eventually trap each other in this hell.

There were whispers of the vengeful spirit Cassidy hurling insults and blames onto William while the now-turned murder ghost himself sweared under his breath that the fault and outcast of this place was the golden girl who was given a second change at life and a deep hatred for William.

Each hour, these two fought and fought, until their voices crack and choke, broken from the constant negative words hurling at each other. However, a new player came in. A new one. A vessel. One so sweet that one could have their teeth rot in an instant if this new player becomes a candy.

Cassidy and William, putting their foul arguments aside, now went to their own companions about how a new potential vessel will be there now. A vessel of a perfect, self-imagined future, with good use, with Cassidy having a plan of the destruction of William Afton himself, not caring an ounce for the other animatronics stuck in this game, while William imagines a day where he will shred and kill and burn his future victims to the ground, after getting rid of the golden girl herself first. -

Charlie: But Cassidy, isn’t this a bit too much? Your spirit has reached a state of mind where vengeance takes over your thoughts and feelings.

Cassidy: But Charlie! Look at this! We are trapped in this stupid place because he was the man who started it all! If we get our hands on that person, we will be able to rest, or even better, end Afton himself!

-

William: Baby, my daughter, I display a deed for you. I seem to have found an appropriate vessel. One that’s so naive that they probably won’t realise they are being controlled. All we need to do, is request Malhare for the help of controlling this vessel, and we will continue the reign of hurt and fright!

Baby (from the books): Of course, sir! May a reign of newfound terror be shown through a new vessel. Shall we start it when this little one comes on again?

-

These prideful spirits and trapped animatronics are torn in a constant state of acceptance and anger. However, a bigger tear will form, as one’s desires can get in the way of things. Cassidy might not see the destruction of the man who murdered her, while the murderer himself, might not see another drop of blood again. The animatronics might gain awareness slowly, while the other spirits watch from the side the chaos that they foresee and partake in. Maybe the spirits of the angered victim and the murderer might change their plans, though their results might turn out far more gruesome than before. But overall, the main thing you will notice is a fate for our dear (Name) that will not end very well for them.

OKAY THAT WAS LONGER THAN WHAT I PLANNED TO WRITE. But I hope you guys enjoyed it. This was longer than what I expected.

[random-lil-illing]

in honour of the fact that i am still somewhat (?) into dead poets society despite being hyperfixated on fnaf now, have some headcanons about the dead poets and co reactions to fnaf lore.

i just know meeks and pitts would be fnaf fans - meeks, being a fan since the WEEK the first game came out, while pitts got into it around sister location. they just both have different ideas of the lore - pitts would get it from matpat and meeks would get it from first hand sources and gibi's good idea bad idea - meaning meeks can only recount the lore up until UCN, and pitts can keep going until the latest fnaf game. they both still manage to talk for the same amount of time, somehow

ginny would ALSO be a die-hard fnaf fan (being into the games since fnaf 3 - fnaf 4), but like... seasonally. as in, her hyperfixations usually last 2-6 months, and has her fnaf hyperfixation about 1-3 times a year (literally me). knows the basic storyline of fnaf 1-7 and knows some parts of the games after that, but she needs to routinely check the fnaf lore presentation that she, meeks, and pittsie made together to catch up on the details. still she would be up by the fnaf presentation board with meeks and pitts for moral support and to input information about external references (e.g: things the characters/games were based off of)

they'd try SO hard to explain the lore to the rest of the dead poets, but since they're both telling different stories they're all confused to some degree.

todd would be struggling to keep up with both versions of the lore but he'd absolutely LOVE the premise of the games and beg meeks and pitts to help him get into fnaf and other horror games like it (like batim/batdr). he loves horror movies the most but i think he'd be an avid enjoyer of horror games with insane plot too. he wouldn't be as caught up on the lore as meeksie and pittsie but he'd try his best. i feel like his favourite character would be the puppet because of her very poetic (?)/tragic demise and afterlife.

charlie would have no idea what's going on, despite having heard of fnaf before - no matter how many diagrams and references meeks and pitts include the fnaf lore is just way too convoluted (too many dates/two different versions) for them and none of the information retains in their head (mood). that's not to say they're not having fun though - they love all the animatronics and shit and are extremely supportive of this interest despite not understanding a single thing. their favourite character would probably be some variation of foxy (most likely mangle or funtime foxy)

neil wouldn't get a single thing either and he'd be... mildly disturbed by all the murder and dark themes in the game because i think he wouldn't like horror themes that much (plus its his first time learning about fnaf - he had VERY restricted internet access), but he'd still support meeks and pitts (and, later on, todd) throughout their whole explanations. he still thinks it's interesting and LOVES the tragedy of all the characters, especially character like michael and charlie. i think he'd be able to grasp the concept of remnant pretty easily, but the whole 'sharing parts = technically possesing other animatronics' thing would mess with him a little. his favourite character would be michael just because of how TRAGIC and pathetic the guy is

knox would be like neil in the way that he's a little freaked out by the whole thing but tries (key word: tries) to be supportive. he'd heard of fnaf before but he never imagined it to be this complex/bloody. also you know when people judge horror protagonists for doing something stupid? yeah, he'd 100% do that to characters like michael/henry/gregory and everyone else would be like "it's a FICTIONAL, HORROR, VIDEO GAME for a reason, knox!!" would have a hard time with all the lore, but somehow is able to keep track of all the characters. i think he would like phone dude or phone guy best because. i don't know actually i think he just finds them silly (/pos)

cameron would be... very disturbed and concerned for their friends' mental health, is absolutely horrified when meeks explains, in excruciating detail, the whole scooped michael fiasco (she provides scientific input and talk about how it would FEEL for michael in that moment). he wouldn't outright tell anyone that he thinks the whole game is terrifying but everyone would know anyway - still, they keep up with the lore surprisingly well for someone who if horrified by the game, they're only out-bested by todd and ginny (as well as meeksie and pittsie, of course). his favourite character would be elizabeth because he sort of relates to her

chris wouldn't be horrified at all by the game and find it mildly interesting even, but would still definitely be confused by the lore (it's a lot of information - even i can't retain it all that well), and it's not really their style of game anyway. they still show support for the people interested in fnaf and attempts to add her own interpretations during the conversation, even if they end up being wrong. accidentally gets hyperfixated on the toy animatronics and continuosly asks ginny to tell her about them so she can be interested in them properly (her favourite is mangle - they affectionately call it their sick, stray puppy)

meeks would be the one that had to explain the lore to mr keating because she wrote about the tragedy of charlie emily in one of her essays and mr keating didn't know who that was and asked about it. she spends the entirety of lunch and her free period to explain the entirety of the fnaf lore to mr keating. mr keating is mildly concerned about meeks' mental health/well-being and considers calling her mom, but sees how eager meeks is talking about the lore and decides against it. finds the concept very interesting after a while and loves the poetic implications of remnant/william's motivations and all of that. he off-handedly makes a fnaf reference in class a couple days later and all the fnaf fans, and the kids who aren't really fans but know of/about the game just quietly stare at him and each other in horror, trying to figure out who snitched to mr keating about fnaf while meeks tries to sink into the floor

bonus!!

some other teacher (like mr mcallister) walks by the dead poets discussing fnaf lore at an especially gruesome part (more specifically, the bite of '83) and is, understandably, very disturbed and concerned, especially at the way they talk about it so casually. at the next teachers' hangout he brings it up and mr keating just laughs and goes "ah yes, the bite of '83. i remember that." meaning he remembers when meeks told him about it. everyone else thinks this means that the bite of '83 actually happened and the dead poets are just?? casually talking/laughing about an event like that?? it's eventually cleared up somehow but yeah. they nearly end up involving parents before they clear it all up

sorry that it's so long, but i could NOT get this idea out of my head and i needed to write it all down.

It is because of you specifically that im on board with the whole Michael is the vengeful soul thing but when i talk to other people about it It makes less sense to them. Every one seems to think its one of the kids. but i know the truth

imma be real i have no idea how "oh, the vengeful spirit is DEFINITELY the golden freddy kid" became so ingrained in fandom to the point where it's considered canon. i haven't seen like, any evidence to suggest that that can't be easily explained away.

"there's a lot of golden freddy in ucn" yeah man he's the cool creepy ghost easter egg from game 1. also heavily likely to be the animatronic that killed cc so yeah his image would be fucking with afton(s) in hell. "we get cassidy's name in the logbook" ok so we know that's a ghost name that doesn't say anything about the vengeful spirit; heck, her name was used for the bonnie possessor in the novel trilogy, while golden freddy was a wholly different kid. speaking of wholly different kids, andrew is literally a completely different kid possessing a completely different animatronic in a completely different timeline, i dont think we can use him as a "gotcha," that's supporting evidence at best. "vengeful little girls are fun" ok well you got me there that's completely valid actually

the current state of fnaf lore is so frustrating because theyve lost sight of a story in favor of throwing out new mysterious(and stupid) things for theory fodder. i thought they actually did pretty good with ruin cause i thought the mimic could be connected into burntrap and keep the shambles of the rest of the series intact (ucn n whatnot) but what the hell is fear gas. ALSO SISTER LOCATION AFTER FNAF1?????????? DUDE????????? they cant decide if they want evil for the sake of evil or evil because of circumstances so they try to do both and fail miserably at it and its really sad

Yeah it’s beyond frustrating. They have so many options like you said and they consistently pick the worst ones. Ruin did feel good to me, very put together! It felt shocking in a good way, like an ending that was shocking because it made more sense in a way we hadn’t thought of. But the rest just makes me angry 😭 FEAR GAS MAKES NO SENSE. I’m of the belief he loves his kids because that is infinitely more interesting than “hehe evil”

How did FNAF and the surrounding community impact you when you were young? Were you with it from the very beginning?

Would you guys be surprised if I said it was FNaF and Minecraft that first got me into writing?

The year was 2015. FNaF 3 was still on its way, and I was a 11-12 year-old gremlin who loved reading. I remember searching for sites to post books and coming across a little place called Nyah! Fanfiction, a brazilian portuguese space for... Well. Fanfic. And I made my little account in there and started reading TONS of fanfiction, including, of course, FNaF.

That's when I came across a little story where we could send in our own OCs to be characters in there. It was being updated every day and I think it was sitting at chapter 3 when I first read it. Me, being super excited, immediately commented and told the author how much I LOVED that thing, and submitted my OCs. It wasnt long until me, the author and other readers formed an actual and genuine friend group! We were all tweens who loved writing, and I believe I would have never got too far into writing if it wasnt for our friendship!

We are still friends to this day, despite falling out with some of the og group members, and these beautiful weirdos I call friends all know about the things I have been doing in this Tumblr! FNaF made me meet some of my best friends for life, and hopefully one day we'll all be able to meet IRL and be silly together.

The fan theories, fanart and the community present during the FNaF 1-6 era forever shaped me, and I cannot thank the existence of this weird game with an infuriatingly confusing story enough. I may not be as close with the community as I once was but I'll forever cherish it.

Also for the love of God why the fuck did they bring William back after UCN. Why. It was the PERFECT ending and they BROUGHT HIM BACK–

I'm sorry if you've gotten this kind of info already, but one of the points you used in that video about Burntrap/Glitchtrap being Afton was him saying "I always come back," which you claim is something the Mimic wouldn't know, but it did know that. Fnaf 6 is shown to be a game in universe just like the rest of them.

Glitchtrap is likely a different branch of the Mimic1 code specifically designated for copying William long term.

There's also a line in Special Delivery. Luis says that Vanessa searched up "How to induce compliance in human subjects" which not only implies that what's possessing her isn't human in any way, but it's something that William would never need to do given that he's a master manipulator.

As for the memory plushies, those likely either come from the Mimic giving you the data it got about them from the VR game, or it's Glitchtrap giving you your own memories that you lost to place you in a vulnerable position given that those memories are likely traumatic ones.

We saw how Afton died anyway, his Agony and Remnant was cleansed by the Puppet in Fazbear's Fright's. There would be nothing left to bring him back. The Princess is going after the monster copying the murderer, not the murderer himself.

Also I'm like 90% sure that the devs of Security Breach thought that Burntrap was supposed to be Afton. I recall Baz saying once when he met Scott at the fnaf movie set that there was a miscommunication involving one of the games endings.

Sorry if this is a mess. Just thought all this was worth pointing out. Have a good one.

The video for those interested:

I don't think that Mimic was plugged into Pizzeria Simulator like it theoretically would have been into Help Wanted. It's possible I guess, but I still think it doesn't make sense for it to latch onto that line, or know what William heard in UCN.

When would that designation have been made and by whom? It wouldn't have been for Help Wanted based on Tape Girl's descriptions nor Mr. Burrows's.

Technically there are other things you can try to induce compliance in. A dog or other pet for example. "Human subjects" just specifies the search. Not to mention, it wouldn't necessarily be literally Glitchtrap doing the searching. Vanessa was talking to computers in AR, and we hear her talking to Glitchtrap in the og HW. He manipulated her mind to make her listen to him, but I think that was more Vanessa looking something up in order to do what Glitchtrap asked her to.

The unused lines specifically refer to the memories as belonging to "it", not the player, so I doubt that would be the case, and where in the VR game would it have specifically gotten the data for all 5 MCI kids and Charlie? Why would they be called its memories if they weren't actually Glitchtrap's memories. Who's code remains if the "his code" isn't William's?

If you're referring to William getting dumped in the lake at the end of the Frights epilogues, there are quite a few reasons I think Frights and Stitchline are a separate continuity from the game timeline. Why would the Princess be around to find out about a copycat and care? He's not the one who she's mad at in that case.

I personally recall a misquote/misattribution of some sort that spread around on that topic. I'll need the timestamped video to confirm that preferably, but in any case, I highly doubt Scott didn't even glance at Burntrap's design before release to notice that something was wrong, and as I mentioned in my video, if Steel Wool was trying to correct things and connect the Mimic to Burntrap, they would have at least made the two have more visual connection than a hand that isn't even actually identical and was already reused from a nightmare animatronic.

While I see where you're coming from, I don't think any of those points negate the evidence I have in the video that you didn't address, though the video was long so I understand why you wouldn't bring it all up. Either way though, I personally think it makes a lot more sense from both an evidence, narrative, and storytelling perspective for Burntrap to be William. Totally cool if you believe differently though! I hope you have a good day as well :D

FNAF MOVIE SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!!

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!

i gotta rant about this because autism and such, okay so, it was AMAZING. everything was just so good and also some lore implications are... interesting. vanessa being williams daughter and there being no hint of mike being related to him is... something. very "the baby isnt mine" reminiscent. also dont act like i didnt see garrett wearing that crying child striped shirt. matpat cameo was so devious,,, the fucking fort building montage and the shot with them all lying under it????? actually fucking sublime??????? pure cinema perfection???? also golden freddys human child version resembling the one you should not have killed's ucn picture.. also SPARKY THE FUCKING DOG???????????? SPARKY THE FUCKINGN DOG?????????????????????? LIKE YOU CANNOT. BRO. also the fucking dream theory book like WHAT DO YOU MEAN SCOTT WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? WHAT ARE YOU COOKING SCOTT?? WHAT GREATER LORE IMPLICATIONS DOES THIS INTERPRETATION OF ""DREAM THEORY"" HAVE SCOTT????? GOING INTO YOUR DREAMS TRYING TO REMEMBER EVERY LITTLE DETAIL???? LIKE OKAY SCOTT????????? like, what was with the new animatronic parts they showed too, that clown springlock suit thing def hinting towards the whole circus thing yaknow,, matthew lillard actually slaying as william, the i always come back had my brother and i fucking uproarious and rambunctious not to even fucking MENTION the SPRINGLOCK SCENE. GOD. SPRINGLOCK SCENE MY FUCKING BELOVED???? i SO DESPERATELY NEEDED TO SEE THAT MAN BLEED AND MOAN AND ITS WHAT I FUCKIN GOT.. the little character moments with the animatronics are all so fanservicey and campy and i fucking loved all of them. the balloon boy jumpscare at the start i fucking GASPED. uuuauuauughh head so full of thoughts.. ALSO THE ACTUAL FUCKING CHERRY ON TOP WHEN THE LIVING TOMBSTONE STARTED PLAYING. ITS LIKE I ASCENDED TO HEAVEN. MY BROTHER SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS AND WAS CRYING. I WAS SO CLOSE TO TEARS. please, every little reference and nod had me freaking the fuck out, though i think after being such a long time fan of the series i have earned the right to be a mildly unpleasant theatregoer. if you arent a huge fnaf fan you might not like the movie very much as the plot is a little wacky at times but if you are a fan of the series you HAVE to see it. it was also great to see how many local fnaf fans there are and i cant wait for any more fnaf movies ;o;
