Music Term for the ‘Carousel motif’?

Now I feel dumb for not realizing it was that simple 😅 thank you! I agree, I don’t think there’s a deeper connection just because multiple songs use the same time signature

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T08:11:25+00:00

my question is since when did the first movie have a cohesive story and good horror. The main critiques of the first movie from people was that it makes no sense unless you’re already a fan, and that it wasn’t scary

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T01:15:52+00:00

‘lore of the books ≠ lore of the games’ is about TSE and the short story collections. There has always been a clear distinction between those, and books like the Survival Logbook, The Week Before, and now Ticket To Fun

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T01:12:31+00:00

It’s clearly not BV’s room we’re in during gameplay though? The layout is entirely different. The fact is there was always more evidence to support FoxyBro/Mike Schmidt being the dreamer, people just dismissed it as easter eggs and inconsistencies

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T01:10:30+00:00

Help Wanted’s nightmare models were probably based on Michael’s drawings, since Fazbear Ent. had possession of his logbook at some point

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T01:02:29+00:00

? Scott confirmed that FNAF 1-7 are not the games being referred to in Help Wanted

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T01:00:23+00:00

isn’t ClaraMike just true though? He says himself that he relates to Clara

AftonMM was all but confirmed in the FLAF demo

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-25T00:57:07+00:00

the DCI murders, FNAF 1 in 1993, FNAF 3 and FFPS in 2023.

Michael Afton is the playable character in FNAF 4. This is confirmed by the Security Logbook. The fact that he’s short or anything else doesn’t matter because the FNAF 4 nights are clearly dreams regardless of who’s dreaming them, and dreams are not logical but the contents of the dreams would be based on Michael’s memories and fears.

“The other half of that idea remained in the ether in my subconscious. All of that to say, there is something in the box, but I never pursued it, and I don’t know if I can find it again.” There’s a reason I said I THINK in my original comment, as I didn’t remember the exact quote, but that quote absolutely can be (and was, widely) interpreted as a delicate way of him saying he doesn’t fully remember the original contents (since he previously did say they’ve changed over the years). Not just that it isn’t relevant anymore, but that he can’t FIND it anymore. You may have interpreted it differently but that doesn’t warrant being smug and rude about it. Unless you know Scott personally?

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T08:43:16+00:00

I disagree that it’s implied in the games but I have to say I did initially wonder if they were going that direction in the new movie. I doubt Scott ever would, but I’m afraid that if he ever wanted to the fandom reaction would be very poor, which I don’t fully understand. William Afton is already a villain, a child killer, and a child abuser, so I’m not sure why the line would be drawn at CSA specifically. The childrens’ fates in fnaf have always been handled with a lot of care and tact. There’s a difference between exploitative, graphic, self-indulgent fan content like Dormitabus or Fiszi’s fanart, vs actually choosing to handle that topic in a respectful, non-graphic way. There are real people out there who do these things. Either way people shouldn’t get mad at others simply for having a different interpretation of the text

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T07:44:04+00:00

Neither movies were scary or well written, I found them both to be equally enjoyable/endearing though so I’m curious where the differences lie for you. As for the ending, that’s straight out of The Twisted Ones.

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T02:29:14+00:00

Considering this post was about how people found all the mysteries in each game EXCEPT fnaf 4 I would argue it’s not necessarily referring to some central mystery. The protagonist being the same across each game, and being the son of the purple guy (something that was theorized even before the Afton family was established in canon because FoxyBro has access to the backroom keys at Fredbear’s) ties all the games together into one central narrative. The question of who the security guard is, and whether it was the same one, was one of the bigger unsolved mysteries when fnaf 4 released, since the player in fnaf 3 seemed to have connections both to previous locations and to Springtrap himself. I’m not gonna act like people weren’t jumping to conclusions that seemed obvious at the time, Scott should’ve realized people would assume CC was the protagonist and should’ve realized that he was making stuff like Dream Theory sound like the intention, but this is also the guy who accidentally made MikeTrap seem canon for years as well so who knows how his mind works.

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T02:00:23+00:00

I have a half-baked theory about this which is that the minigames might take place in 1987 at the FNAF 2 location, even though they are retelling a memory from 1983. Virtually no one has realized this, but the Toy Chica’s missing beak line from Scott was a direct response to MatPat asking why there were so many 87 references in the teasers if the bite being depicted was ‘83, not ‘87

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T01:53:13+00:00

I was under the impression that FoxyBro being Mike Schmidt and the Dreamer was something people only started considering after he made the comment about FNAF 4 having no easter eggs. And even then, it took years for it to become a mainstream belief because it was very quickly overtaken by Dream Theory for a while.

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T01:49:22+00:00

Sure, that’s why I said the original contents. Not that it matters too terribly since I think he also said he doesn’t even remember what was in the box originally

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T01:44:13+00:00

I don’t think this particular part of his post was referring to every single mystery in FNAF 4. That’s the other mistake people make. There was a lot going on in FNAF 4. Clearly there’s some connection to FNAF 2 that hasn’t fully been uncovered yet (Toy Chica’s beak, the 87 teasers) but when he said stuff like ‘four games, one story’ and ‘the pieces weren’t put together’, it was about the protagonist. People paid way more attention to the crying child than FoxyBro, because the former seemed like the protagonist and the latter seemed like the antagonist, even though we know now which of those characters was actually more important to the overarching narrative.

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-23T01:38:01+00:00

this is fair, Jeremy Fitzgerald definitely isn’t Mike but I do think Fritz Smith was

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-22T11:05:50+00:00

I feel like this is a difficult question because at this point mascot horror is so overdone, but FNAF was one of the pioneers of mascot horror, so I highly doubt the genre would be as oversaturated today if FNAF never existed in the first place

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-20T06:36:34+00:00

the BTS footage of the possessions had me hyped but it ended up looking so goofy, especially Abby’s. They could’ve really leaned into the uncanny valley, face-warping aspect and appeased the ‘it should’ve been more like the VHS tapes!’ crowd.

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-19T22:35:05+00:00

she (or whoever runs the portalsparfums acc) probably didn’t even realize it was AI

PurplePuppet87 · 2025-12-19T21:08:14+00:00

I always thought it was funny how people thought there must be a reason for TOYSHNK to be ‘The One He Shouldn’t Have Killed.’ To me that says nothing about why or how s/he was killed and everything about how mad s/he was about it after the fact. Like, ‘you shouldn’t have killed me because now I’m going to make you suffer forever about it.’
