I just noticed that the Plushtrap Kid and the Laughing Kid from FNaF 4 minigames have the same text colour. I think that this is similar to how Jeremy and Gabriel have the same font for the names on their graves. Another thing to add is that the Plushtrap Kid has obvious connections to Bonnie and the Laughing Kid has nearly the same sprite as the Freddy Bully. This makes me think that Jeremy and Gabriel might be Plushtrap Kid and Laughing Kid respectively.

Side note: one of the FNaF 1 newspapers mentions two kids being lured into the safe room. The phrasing there makes it seem like the two were lured together. I wonder if that could also relate to Jeremy and Gabriel. If the gravestone order from Help Wanted 2 is the death order this could also be used as a piece of evidence as the two die one after the other.

Side note number two: this might be a stretch but in the FNaF 3 trailer we see a greenish yellow text colour(the same as Plushtrap Kid's text colour) that says "we have a place for him" and "he will come back, he always does". This made me think that the plan of spring-locking William was Jeremy's and he took inspiration from his Finger trap Spring Bonnie Plushie.

[Sadly this theory works only if we ignore all the reasons he's a David/BV recreation]

​

There are a few pieces of visual evidence and narrative evidence for this theory

​

It is theorised that Gregory got freed from Glitchtrap because someone beat the Balloon World arcade machine which I linked to another usage of Balloon Boy imagery in Security Breach — the StaffBotFamily where Mike is represented with Balloon Boy

​

Next I looked into the way we get into the room with the arcade machine — it is through a secret door with an advertisement for a movie about Foxy — mike's favourite character

​

Another piece of Mike imagery in security breach is the recreation of his room from Sister Location. The cypher on the wall is someone describing what Gregory does in the gameplay of Security Breach which suggests that he used to use this room

​

Next are some evidence from the story itself!

​

Gregory was released from Glitchtrap which could parallel the way Mike opened his eyes to his father's evil.

​

(Stretch) Gregory is accompanied by Freddy — if we consider Gregory the recreation of Mike then Freddy might be a parallel for Henry, afterall Henry is a character in the franchise most associated with Freddy the same way William is a character associated with Bonnie.

​

(Based on another theory) I theorise that the next FNaF game is going to be a sort of recreation of Sister Location's story where Cassy will be playing the role of Elizabeth and we as Gregory will have to save her. If my theory is correct Gregory would definitely be a perfect parallel for Mike in such story.

​

I would like to ask you for help in creating this theory — maybe you can find some evidence that I've missed. But if not help I would want to know your rating for this theory on a scale from "no this doesn't work at all" to "kinda makes sense" to "this is definitely true" and anything between these options. I hope I will make it further than the first one!

I believe the building from FNaF 3 is the building where the Mediocre Melodies were used.

As you see Stan took whatever he could and one of those things could be a layout of a building — specifically the one we can see in FNaF 3 and now recently(and weirdly) in SotM.

The reason it is specifically the Mediocre Melodies establishment is because they are owned by STAN's budget tech!

Another piece of evidence is the kids in the happiest day minigame wearing the Mediocre Melodies masks.

And the most important part is how this changes the lore: It doesn't.

I propose a theory that Elizabeth Afton's soul was split but not among the Funtimes, instead it was split inside of parts of Circus Baby herself.

Basic idea of the theory: part of Elizabeth's soul is in Circus Baby's body and the other is haunting the program. This theory is made to explain why Baby's personality constantly swings from calm to aggressive, especially if we compare the personalities of Circus Baby and Scrap Baby in their UCN voice lines.

The idea is that the animatronic Circus Baby's personality was supposed to resemble Elizabeth's, that's why she says that William made Baby for her. Circus Baby's personality is supposed to be obedient to its creator the same way Elizabeth is obedient to her father but it is supposed to be like a bratty kid the way Elizabeth doesn't always seem to follow her father's rules.

The theory posits, that Circus Baby was made using the Mimic but as we know the Mimic often creates a caricature of a character rather than someone with a personality. Just like that the Mimic turned Elizabeth's obedience into giving William full control of Circus Baby making her follow his commands. And on the other hand mimic gave Circus Baby Elizabeth's brattiness times a hundred turning Circus Baby into a full on aggressive murder robot.

[The "M" in this theory's name stands for Mimic]

This theory makes the timeline go like this:

1. Elizabeth dies to Baby.

2. Elizabeth's soul is split putting the part of her that is loyal to her father with the part of Baby that wants to kill and putting the part of Elizabeth that is bratty with the part of Baby that listens to William.

3. Michael separates those parts by taking Circus Baby's chip out, making her lose the part that does as told to and is a little brat like a child.

4. Michael thinks he put his sister back together, when in reality he divided her into two.

5. The part that wants to murder and wants to make her father proud becomes Scrap Baby but then gets burnt and disappears.

6. The chip, containing the other half of Elizabeth and the other half of Baby, is found and is probably now somewhere waiting to be used as a plot twist in The Modern FNaF Era.
