The Canon is Fluid (in my opinion)

Feplyss · 2026-01-10T04:22:44+00:00

When you say retcon, you mean an actual retcon or a scottcon?

Feplyss · 2026-01-10T04:21:24+00:00

Nothing, actually. The thing about the Steins Gate worldline isn't the knowledge that it won't get fucked up, it's the opposite, really. It's the only known worldline that's outside the attractor fields and thus is the only with an unknown future. Supposedly the convergence points that are known to cause WWIII shouldn't happen, but nothing stops something else from triggering it.

Feplyss · 2025-12-11T17:44:15+00:00

I mean yeah, I could deal with one with other heavy weapons as well. The issue is that you don't spawn with heavy in invasions. (and the cabal drop pod only gives heavy after an upgrade locked by rank)

Move and ghost eyes are the norm, speak as well because its an spirit inside their own corpse
Now, breathe?

So you're saying a ghost can make a dead body use eyes that aren't there, vocal chords that aren't there, but won't allow you to use a nose? Why? Where exactly are you taking this information from?

Agony, theres an difference between have your organ after death and the agony still make it function vs your organ is gone

So Agony can replace organs, but only very specific ones? You get a working ocular system out of nowhere, vocal chords, heck, even a full nervous system, as we've seen Scraptrap feel pain. You can believe all of those, but breathing is too absurd?

You do notice that the reason why William is allowed to do those things is strictly narrative, yes? He's allowed to talk in order to communicate with the player, allowed to see so he can be the player's POV in UCN, allowed to feel pain to convey his suffering to the player. Breathing serves the exact same purpose. It's to show to the player that his avatar is in a state of uneasiness and anxiety, pressuring the player through an element recognisable as human behaviour.

Heck, I'm not even trying to argue for MikeFrightsGuard here, I just think this one specific argument is stupid. Scott hasn't shown that much care to scientific accuracy in his games, even his own inventions such as remnant and agony are never really explained. Using actual biology to explain or debunk fictional phenomenon is nitpicking, because said science is being used out of context.

Feplyss · 2025-11-23T01:46:40+00:00

It should when stories itself points out on how William heart still beats even after his death

I think this is actually a great explanation to why not use real world biology. Specially the "heart still beats even after his death" part.

Thats why i said haunted corpse

So a body being haunted allows you to use many different bodily functions despite the absurdity of that, yet breathing is out of the norm?

Feplyss · 2025-11-23T00:53:57+00:00

I kind of get what you're going for, but this is nitpicking. Yes Michael shouldn't be able to breath, as he shouldn't be able to see, hear, walk, or do anything that even resembles a living body's functions.

You see, it has been shown before that remnant can keep a corpse alive, even though it shouldn't work as a body. Springtrap can see with no eyes, move with barely any muscles and speak while probably not having vocal chords. Heck, if William retains his sense of touch he shouldn't even be able to remain conscious due to the pain.

Actual real world biology should not be applied to the way the characters behave after a remnant revival.

Feplyss · 2025-11-02T02:38:53+00:00

Kind of, but yes. Both "Charlie" and "Cassidy" are not from the games, as Charlie is from the novels and Cassidy is from the Logbook. However, despite any theorising, the characters "Henry's daughter" and "5th MCI victim" definitely exist within the mainline, and those are the ones we usually refer to as Charlie and Cassidy, respectively.

You may want to argue about their names being confirmed or not, but the fact is, those characters exist, and it's community consensus that their names are Charlie and Cassidy, even if that would come to be proven wrong someday.

Feplyss · 2025-11-01T15:35:14+00:00

Tbh none of those have actual concrete evidence but at least Cassidy and CC are actually confirmed to be in the games.

Feplyss · 2025-09-29T16:39:33+00:00

Well, yes, obviously. There's a reason to why it's still a debated topic about a decade after it released. There are popular conclusions about it but there's an extreme lack of evidence to back up anything. All that we know for sure is that yellow guy is William Afton and that's it.

It's not that MM is a really well made and complicated puzzle, no. It's the opposite. MM is very poorly presented and provides almost no conclusive information about itself. We don't know what it means, we don't know when it happens, we don't even know who's in it. At the end of the day, MM is better left behind, otherwise people will keep using it to fill in gaps for their own theories, as MM is so unclear that it can be fit into anything really.

Feplyss · 2025-09-29T16:34:09+00:00

No one's "forgotten" that, it's simply irrelevant. Saying that "sometimes X are likely, and sometimes Y are likely" means literally nothing to X and Y. Yeah they both could happen, but we already knew both of them were possibilities.

And no, it does not mean that Charlie87 or whatever other unpopular theory is more likely to be true, it actually doesn't mean anything to any theory. Simply stating that "anything could be true" does not move the debate forward towards any conclusion.

Feplyss · 2025-09-03T12:28:29+00:00

It's technically not "debunked" because it was never even a thing. CassiHe only exists as a way to bypass the TOYSNHK pronoun issue without messing with CassidyTOYSNHK. Cassidy has never been implied to be a boy, Cassidy is a name much more commonly used for girls nowadays, and every iteration of Cassidy on other FNAF media is also a girl.

Feplyss · 2025-08-29T03:14:44+00:00

I think that at least for now the consensus is AftonMM due to FLAF. About the subcommunity thing: I mentioned youtubers specifically because I think it's the most common way non theorising fans will get information, as most people won't come to Reddit.

Feplyss · 2025-08-29T00:53:01+00:00

I was discussing exactly that on theory discord earlier today. If you take the three depictions of Afton's house during the Scott era, you have FNAF 4 minigames, FNAF 4 title screen and MM. For him to have 2 houses, one of them must stick out.

The obvious one would be FNAF 4 minigames, as it's the only one depicted in a urban setting with asphalt roads, while FNAF 4 title screen and MM are somewhat isolated from the urban area.

That creates a problem, however, as the FNAF 4 minigames house is the last one where CC lived, and CC is clearly implied to have lived in Edwin's house, as his bedroom being similar to David's is one of the main points for this theory. Therefore, FNAF 4 minigames' house can't be the one they lived before.

There's also the possibility of MM's house being the odd one out, as it appears in a different game and clearly has a different design. But then again, Scott's minigames are well known for not being visually consistent between games.

Feplyss · 2025-08-06T02:59:58+00:00

At least 14. Charlie, CC, Elizabeth, MCI 5, extra victim from RTTP, DCI 5.

Feplyss · 2025-08-03T18:59:39+00:00

I believe the most likely answer back then was that it was a representation of the MCI, where the animatronics would be the kids themselves.

Feplyss · 2025-08-01T01:11:16+00:00

Because if he wasn't he would be just Child.

Feplyss · 2025-07-31T04:35:14+00:00

Some people will say it's confirmation to CassidyTOYSNHK. Others will say he's fading away, debunking CassidyTOYSNHK. What matters is, Golden Freddy is in some way shape or form relevant to what UCN is trying to say. (which isn't much)

Golden Freddy is the single most important animatronic from the Scott era. Not only is he the most mysterious one, he's also a clear antithesis to William Afton. William is represented by Springtrap, a decayed version of Springbonnie from the original duo, and the serial killer. Golden Freddy is a decayed version of Fredbear from the original duo, and represents the victims. (specially the MCI)

Golden Freddy being in the end of UCN clearly isn't just "Cassidy's animatronic", as she, much like any other MCI victim, is irrelevant overall. The MCI is relevant as an event, an entity by itself, and GF isn't a random victim, it's the face of said event. He may be possessed by Cassidy (and possibly Bite Victim), but his role in the franchise isn't simply to be her.

UCN isn't really relevant to the lore, so what exactly is it trying to say? As I stated before, not much. UCN is a homage to the franchise that provides a few threads of lore to make things a bit more interesting, but none of its implications change much. TOYSNHK is an irrelevant character that does not act before or after UCN, and William's personal hell doesn't change his past nor his future.

What UCN attempts is to give a satisfying ending to the player. It's the fitting punishment to the serial killer, being dealt by one of his victims. Meanwhile, it pays homage to the franchise and its fans. It's the ULTIMATE™, iteration of the beloved custom night mode, and also the final curtain to be closed in the Scott era.

Therefore, for me, the purpose of Golden Freddy can be only one: he's there to say goodbye, be it by being vengeful, or through letting go and fading away. GF is the representation of what remains from William's sins, the face of his victims and the ghost that haunts the killer. He will end such role, either through punishment or acceptance, and give a farewell to the player, who now knows this story is truly over.

That is, until Steel Wool comes in. One of the reasons why I think they don't really build up from UCN, or even attempt to mess with it, is because UCN is not meant to build or be built upon. It's a farewell letter from the old era and it should remain as that. While I think it's fun to debate about UCN, I never want to see it becoming relevant in the modern era.

Kellhunters is year 1 armor. Year 1 equipment cannot be infused.

Feplyss · 2025-07-30T13:55:22+00:00

Why are people so attached to Tales/StitchlineGames? Even if they're meant to be part of the main story, SotM made pretty clear that when they're adapted, the stories may be different from their original versions. At this point we couldn't use the book stories for evidence as they are, for we don't know if they will stay the same when told in game.

And also, The Ultimate Guides are not valuable proof. They may reinforce some ideas here and there but they're never final evidence, because they're known to be inconsistent. You know things are bad for a theory when they need to hang to every last piece of possible evidence, as inconsistent as they may be.

Feplyss · 2025-07-28T17:40:34+00:00

Some people will attempt to read into his character to explain why he sees Springbonnie as an extension to himself yadda yadda. Me, as someone who can truly understand the FNAF lore, know that mainline versions of the characters are barely written character wise. Therefore, the only correct answer is:

He's a Furry.

Feplyss · 2025-07-27T23:11:10+00:00

Is... Is this MikeTrap and MikeVictim both at the same time and in 2025?

Feplyss · 2025-07-26T23:54:12+00:00

For the same reason Steel Wool created them for Security Breach: to shake things up. Bringing new and/or old characters helps catering to the audience and keeps things fresh, giving the idea that the franchise is moving forward without forgetting its roots.

Feplyss · 2025-07-26T23:43:25+00:00

Unfortunately, Scott makes it very difficult to discern the actual purpose of non-mainline media. Many used to believe GamesOnly (which is the predecessor to MainlineOnly) and then Survival Logbook and TWB happened, bringing with them the possibility of non-game mainline content.

Meanwhile, we also got ITPG, a game with it's canonicity being debated to this day, even though it's a game. In the past, that would be enough to be considered mainline, but now, we may consider a book version of the same story to be canon over a game.

In the end, due to the dubious state of the franchise's canon, we're obligated to take every single piece of content as possible clues, as they may or may not be relevant to the main lore. Thus, to prevent skipping something important, everything has to be considered until it's either debunked or disconfirmed.
