#the idea of gregory being cc just doesn’t make sense

[phoenixkaptain]

I keep thinking about how often Glamrock Freddy refers to the other animatronics as his friends. And, when he’s talking at the end, he says his friends are there.

This line sticks out to me because Michael never refers to the animatronics as his friends. Nor does he refer to the other kids as his friends. Henry certainly doesn’t consider the animatronics or the kids to be his friends.

The two characters who refer to any other characters as their friends are Charlie and the Crying Child. And Charlie isn’t what I’m focusing on here.

The Crying Child is the only other character in the entire franchise who refers to the animatronics as his friends. Freddy referring to them as his friends feels pointed, especially since Roxy and Monty and Chica don’t refer to each other as friends (as far as I recall).

But also, in the popular theory that the Crying Child is one of two animatronics possessing Golden Freddy, he is the less aggressive one. He’s the one who just hangs out, while his partner does murder and stuff. So Freddy acting primarily as his programming wants him to makes sense, because the Crying Child is a much more passive entity. A much more passive entity who would definitely be more likely to step in only when he senses that his father is trying to take control of Glamrock Freddy back.

“But what about Freddy knowing so much about the security rooms?”

Golden Freddy is always there. He’s always in front of you in the first game, you just can’t always see him. He would know how to work the security rooms. He’s seen it.

But, it also fits in that Golden Freddy and Glamrock Freddy are both G. Freddy.

But what about Gregory?

Well, who do we know who dislikes animatronics? Who do we know who stands up to animatronics on a near nightly basis? Who do we know who would be a bit exasperated to find a Mr. Hippo magnet? Who do we know to be someone who has only ever possessed a form resembling a human?

Michael.

That’s right, I think that Gregory is more similar to Michael. Especially in terms of personality. Gregory and Michael are the only characters (aside from William, and we know where William is) to have a motive to destroy animatronics, and the malice to do so.

“Then why doesn’t Gregory understand the security room?”

Dude, Michael has to have a Phone Guy tell him how to use his own security system in every game. Like, come on, I don’t think it’s that unreasonable.

But anyway, the point of this post is that I think a great twist would be that Gregory was meant to be possessed by the Crying Child, only to get the wrong spirit. Thus why he’s actively running away from Vanessa at the beginning. Thus why he can figure out how to do “maintenance” on the animatronics so quickly (he has experience). Thus why he can figure out the security rooms so quickly (with help).

It was meant to be the Crying Child, and that’s why Vanessa is so upset. He isn’t acting like the Crying Child. He isn’t acting right, he isn’t acting the way he should be. She didn’t expect him to run from her. Which would make sense if she expected the Crying Child, whose go-to response to stress is sobbing on the floor.

But I think Crying Child did possess an animatronic. The only animatronic he’s used to possessing. Freddy. He’s passive, he lets Freddy’s programming do what it wants and only really responds to much at the end of the game, when he needs to.

This is a stupid theory, and I accept that, but something about the idea of William trying to get his sweet little crybaby son back, only to accidentally revive his hellion, is extremely funny. Like Baby trying to revive William, only to accidentally revive William’s hellion.

Michael just has a habit of living on, even as people (his father) are practically begging him not to. And Crying Child has a history of possessing animatronics but not letting anybody know about it precisely because he just passively lets it do whatever. It all makes sense in my head. Of course there are parts that don’t add up, but can’t it be enough that the theory is amusing?

This doesn’t make much sense but it makes a lot of sense to me so umm)

Ok so obviously I MUST combined my interests, so here is my ideas and art of the fnaf animatronics and their respective character of which possessed them matched with the shadow knights in mcd. So I think the general principle is the similar, the children in fnaf are killed and ‘reborn’ to possess the animatronics where they attempted to kill the night guard. (The reasons for this are because they think he’s William afton in the first games, it gets more complicated in the further games like baby trying to escape), as in mcd the sks are killed and then are reborn more literally to serve a purpose to the shadow lord and his power. Both William and the shadow lord do this for power;the shadow lord to expand his army and such and William also for power/ramnant/immortality (for the most part). They both do it sorta to make their creations of the sks and the animatronics.

Anyways that probably didn’t make sense so now I am going to make even less sense.

I matched each of the sks to the fnaf animatronics and who possessed them based on story but also like vibes lmao

GENE-bonnie

so this is less about Jeremy and more bonnie the character animatronic himself. Springbonnie was an early iteration of bonnie, who was then used in fnaf 3 as springtrap from William afton. I think of this is that bonnie as a character as been used by William to kill Micheal, is like gene being a helper to the shadow lord for his overall aim. (This probably sounds like a massive reach but it makes sense to me)

FRED BEAR- Laurence

Ok I half chose this because I think it’s a little funny lol but also because again as a character of Freddy fazbear (not Gabriel) , he has evolved to become glam rock Freddy who helps Gregory compared to the others animatronics do not obviously, the other animatronics are not presumably not possessed or anything so they are programmed to attack Gregory, this is to me similar to how the zombie sks are like.

He goes against Vanessa and what not like Laurence rebelling against the shadow lord. To get into it further, to go with the theory that glam rock Fred is possessed by crying child , it’s similar to me how Laurence doesn’t want people to suffer the way he did, he says himself that he ‘doesn’t like seeing people being forced to do things’, he wants to protect like CC does for Gregory if we’re going based on that theory.

CIRCUS BABY (Elizabeth Afton)- sasha

I can get more into circus baby’s personality since she speaks a lot lol. She is cold and unnerving similar to Sasha but Elizabethan and Sasha pre skification were both presumably kind and caring. Both circus baby and Sasha are slightly grey, circus baby helps Mike through the whole thing until she attacks him at the end, Sasha is similar in her actions, she is somewhat against aphmau as she ‘is close but not too close’ with gene (obviously changed by him alternating her memories) but is also ok with her (and Laurence) she doesn’t really try and do anything against her later on tbh. This isn’t the strongest comparison since the two scenarios are much different but they give me the same vibe lol

FOXY- Zenix

Literally I have no explanation for this other than it just fits to me, if you go with the foxy as the bite of 87’ culprit, it could link to how infamous the zenix absorbing sks is like the bite of 87 is. Foxy is somewhat different to the other animatronic as he isn’t backed off by the mask, it makes him seem a little more powerful and versatile, like how zenix is very powerful in the nether and has alternate means of getting what he wants, he isn’t swayed by the shadow lord you know.

(Will try to post Sasha and laur art soon)

PUPPET (Charlotte)- vylad

This one makes the most sense to me so buckle in >:)

Ok for Charlotte doesn’t Henry speech to her sound like something garroth would say about vylad ? Or at least I section of it. All of the animatronics here have passed children possessed in them, but I think Charlotte died relates most of vylad she is ‘shut out and left to die’, the details around vylad’s death is vague but it’s implied that it’s similar to that, he was betrayed and died and then left to be tortured in the nether. (Also Charlie’s death is in the cake mini game lol)

The puppet although seen to be sadistic, Charlie is described as having a nature to ‘protect the innocent’ (shown in the way she as puppet set the souls free) vylad is shown to do this with levin and overall has a thoughtful and caring ideas (burning the books to protect the villages, helping Laurence etc). Although, he is not completely innocent, it is similar to me that vylad is good in his true self like Charlie is, although does bad things from becoming a sk like Charlie becoming the puppet. Like foxy, the puppet is not changed by the Freddy mask, she has retained her own thoughts and is seemingly more sentient like how vylad is unchanged by the shadow lord. If we’re going with the charlotte is the Freddy plush in fnaf 4 and that she is trying to help CC after her experiences with the animatronics and what not its similar to how vylad helps Laurence after his experiences as a sk (hahaha linking together Freddy as laur).
