So back in 2016 little 5 year old me was scrolling on the family PC looking for any slop but then I saw one of my favorite YouTubers DanTDM posted a video about this game called Five Nights At Freddy’s: Sister Location.

Now I had seen him play FNAF before but I never got into but I decided to click on it, and I got so scared that I couldn’t sleep that night (Lol), but something deep awakened in me, a deep love for horror and FNAF

So there I was waiting everyday for a new Sister Location upload from DanTDM, I started watching the fan animations and GMOD videos. I couldn’t help but become invested and I can’t recall the HUNDREDS of times my parents would look at the YouTube history and I would get into trouble, but no matter what I ALWAYS went back to FNAF

I remember during Covid 9 year old me BINGED Gacha, GMOD, Game Theory, Minecraft FNAF videos, and tried to find any FNAF Roblox games because I couldn’t play the actual games

I remember sneaking my laptop in a room and staying up till like 3AM watching Kreekcraft the day Security Breach released, and arguing with my older brother who hated FNAF and thought it sucked

I remember getting my first phone in 2022 for my birthday, and that night I pulled my first all nighter watching a dub of FNAF Graphic Novels and J Gems interview series.

I remember in 2023 moving out of my childhood house and the night before leaving I saw the first FNAF Movie trailer and got excited and watching the VR State of play for HW2. Staying up and watching HW2 and Ruin, and my parents still didn’t like me liking FNAF so I stayed up late watching FNAF Movie 1 on my phone the DAY it came out (I had to use my sisters account)

I remember in 2024 taking a break from FNAF in general, but then in 2025 when SOTM released (I didn’t even know about it) I immediately got back in and loved the game! Later that year I found r/fnaftheories and became a FNAF theorist when Ticket to Fun released, and not liking FNAF Movie 2 so much lol

And then this year I’ve met many great friends in theorizing and became a moderator in this subreddit! I’ve had a blast being active on Reddit and am glad I got back into FNAF.

So that’s been the highlights of my FNAF 10 year journey and I covered like 1% of it, but ultimately I’ve LOVED this franchised, it’s my childhood and I remember loving every moment of being a FNAF fan. It’s been a great journey and I look forward to the future!

(Side note: This was inspired by Puzzleheadeds post and I realized it was 10 years since Sister Location)

So in SOTM, there is a family of Flowers which has a Dad, a Mother, a rebellious kid, a cheerful kid, and a baby. Now I've seen the interpretation for this is that it's telling us the Aftons were a normal family before Bo83 and that the grief broke William (WillFlawedCare and WillGrief), but I don't buy this explanation. In SOTM, William destroyed everything Edwin worked for and used Henry as a Puppet (Lol), showing he was a jerk before Bo83. Moreso in the Cheerful kids' hospital room, the dad is still cheerful, etc.

There are many problems with this interpretation, and I think it's because the flowers are showing us how William views his family or how he thinks they should be (WillTwistedCare). Let me explain.

The Dad Flower:

So the Dad flower in SOTM is a yellow cheerful Dad who loves his family, the reason he is William and is yellow is that throughout the entire franchise, whenever we see William or how he views himself as yellow, which means good and hope. In MM, when we play as William, we see how he views himself as yellow, because he is a narcissist who views himself better than he actually is. Purple represents evil in FNAF, but he doesn't see himself that way but everyone else does. Moreso, his fursona is yellow.

It's why he also views himself as a loving dad who puts on a front for his abusive to his family, just like most abusive narcissists do. The family represents how he views himself and his family. The only other thing I could think of is that his mustache is the same one as Henry's, which could represent his jealousy and wanting to do better than Henry.

The Cheerful Kid Flower:

So I believe FlowerAftons, but a huge problem is this damn Flower. He is obviously supposed to represent BV under FlowerAftons, but why is he so happy? It's a huge hole and doesn't make much sense, but I think it's supposed to show how William viewed BV during his final days alive. During this time, William had BV under control and manipulation through the Fredbear plush, and he never bothered him or got in his way, which is why the kid flower is so happy. William views him as the perfect son, who doesn't rebel and doesn't whine to him, who can easily be manipulated, which is also why he is cheerful in the hospital. William never understood the pain and suffering he went through and ignored it.

Rebellious, Mother, and Baby Flowers:

The rebellious flower is supposed to represent Mike, William always thought he was immature and childish, which is why he has only two teeth compared to BV's full teeth. showing Williams disdain towards him. Baby Flower and Mother flowers very obviously represent Elizabeth and Mrs Afton

I mainly made this post because I really like FlowersAfton, but wanted to try and fix its problems. Let me know what you think.
