Firstly I wanted to say why I chose to put SL before 4 is because it makes more narrative sense for Michael to prove he is trying to help putting his sister back together and figuring out William’s evil intentions in the springtrap ending of SL and then he fights the manifestation of William’s wickedness mixed with fear from his young brother and conquer the fears that is Nightmare, then in Fnaf 3 the Crumpled Freddy suit represents Nightmare defeated.

Anyways about the original question I asked. So I think the latter is better for 2 reasons. 1. is that in the logbook, the nightmares are said to be recent. 2. is the “Night 0” mentioned by Phone Dude on Night 1 of Fnaf 3. He says, “welcome back to another night. I promise you things will be a lot more interesting this time” implying Michael was there before, left after not finding what he was looking for (probably midway through his night, I don’t know, this part doesn’t really matter) and taking however long of a break before coming back for Fnaf 3 to start taking place so we can just put the 8 nightmares of Fnaf 4 in between “Night 0” and Fnaf 3, night 1.

I believe it was also used briefly for a second or two in the Ai Rundown video as the player was entering the neighbor’s house.

More evidence is that Charlotte Emily doesn’t die at age 3 like she did in the novel continuity. She is clearly older than 3 years old in the Security Puppet mini-game, specifically like somewhere between 7-9 years old.

Now both game continuity and novel continuity are parallels of course, having their similarities and differences. In the novels, she died at Fredbear’s Family Diner but in the games, she died at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. However, the MCI is still occurring in 1985 for both continuities. So there is a chance that she was born in 1980 in the games just like in the novels. And if that is true, then there is no way that Charlie83 is true because here she isn’t 3 when she dies like she was there in the novels.

If she’s not born in 1980 in the game continuity then that allows you to dismiss ever I’ve just said.

Let me know when you think she was born in the games?

In my last post I said that the DCI isn’t canon and said that the bodies and blood just represent the MCI being lost. And while they still could be, I feel that the scattered bodies was meant to either be because William removed the bodies from the withered animatronics or Fazbear Entertainment did (though I don’t know why they would risk having the bodies be seen by the customers).

I mean still there is always the chance because under retrofit theory, the bodies would’ve been found so who knows but as someone pointed out in my previous post, they said that there was a party room with a table with a pool of blood underneath it. This is when I changed my mind… about if the bodies and blood were real. I still don’t think the DCI existed. Maybe when the bodies were moved out of the suits, whoever moved them got one to touch the table but then it had to be removed because of the blood that got on it? I do however think that the 6th pool of blood is actually representing Charlie because there are 6 and this oneis under the Puppet’s music box.

I don’t know. I think the DCI is kinda pointless for the greater story because they are never brought up again and people already believe it because they know the toy animatronics are possessed but they ignore the fact that Phone Guy gives us the answer to that and that being the toys use parts from the withereds, and that also explains why the retrofitted models of the original gang are withered in the first place. When it comes to Scott the puzzle maker he usually tries to clear things up in later games if some misconceptions are made and Fnaf 3’s happiest day does even include the DCI. In the Scott Cawthon era of the series, the children that the story is mainly about is the MCI kids and Charlie, the others just being Afton’s children, the Dave the Bite Victim and Elizabeth.

Anyways that is it. I would question why the company didn’t call the police to report the MCI bodies since they have the proof they need to get Afton arrested but whatever. It’s Fazbear Entertainment we’re talking about so it wouldn’t be the first time they hid bodies and evidence right? There is also Mangle who is moving, but I’ve questioned enough. Perhaps since she is using parts from withered foxy, it means he is more aggressive than the other toys because Foxy has always been the most aggressive of his gang.
