Golden Freddy Theory
- We are all familiar with the infamous - WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87!? (Sorry just had to put this joke here) Bite of 83 where the Crying Child was lifted up into Fredbear's mouth by his older brother; Michael and his friends which resulted in Fredbear crushing C.C's skull.
- I always did find it strange that in the sprite we can also see his neck was caught in the bite. It makes me wonder could it be connected to Golden Freddy's actions throughout the games? I used Google to look up the damage it would cause to his neck to further support my theory. According to Google A.I. Mode: "The violent downward force would tear the ligaments and muscles holding skull to the spine, resulting in atlanto-occipital dislocation (internal decapitation)". Now with this newfound information let's look at Golden Freddy's actions throughout the games.
- In the first game we notice that his HEAD is in the freddy poster when he's in the office and jumpscares us his face is against the screen (head related jumpscare). In the second game his floating giant HEAD is in the hallway and when kills us via office or hallway his HEAD flies straight towards the screen. Now the fascinating thing that happens in "Five Nights at Freddy's: Ultimate Custom Night" when you only select Withered Golden Freddy with his aggression at a 1 with nobody else. Then buy the death coin and use it on him once he appears in your office he transforms into Fredbear whom this time around seems to physically harm us, he violently shakes the screen while simultaneously seemingly biting Afton. In the game over screen you can decode/reverse what he was trying to say. Translated he said: "Let's find a suit that's right for you" Further implying that he does indeed physically kill us while in the other games he appears as a illusion and speculated to kill you internally via cardiac arrest/heart attack. I believe this very jumpscare is a manifestation of Crying Child's physical internal state as well as his memories being wiped.
- However it isn't a Golden Freddy Theory without both characters being explained so in regards to Cassidy I believe the theory he/she was springlocked by William Afton, many people thought that Cassidy was decapitated, but with my theory I'll prove to you why it makes more sense the way I explain it. For one, Crying Child died in a hospital far away from Fredbear's Family Diner in the logbook where he communicated with Cassidy after death he doesn't remember who he was, or what happened because he is a lost spirit who died peacefully after flatlining from his coma. As explained by the logbook he also can't see most likely due to the damage he sustained to his brain stem and vision. However Cassidy can see, retains absolute control of Golden Freddy. Why? Simply because Cassidy is inside the suit physically since their springlocked/just stuffed (it can work either way) While Crying Child's spirit resides in the suit.
- Cassidy makes the suit very supernatural due to her anger against Afton and probably says the phrase "IT'S ME to possibly serve as crying child's realization or something to remind Michael what happened to him but as stated he can't see so he won't even know if the player is Michael so it's likely Cassidy again to haunt the nightguards who he/she think is Afton to serve as a "burning reminder of him/your misdeeds".
- Now let's look at the other duo Jake and Andrew, Jake can see and move the Stitchwraith while Andrew can't see and remains stuck in his thoughts but his anger/vendetta against Afton makes the Stitchwraith supernatural by killing anyone they touch. Which parallels with the Golden Duo, Jake has complete control of the Stitchwraith like Cassidy, he can see through the eyes of the animatronic like Cassidy, while Andrew is blind like Crying Child and doesn't have complete control over their vessel but Andrew and Cassidy's rage causes the animatronic to have lethal powers. With this theory the Golden Freddy head can also be an example of said powers but I believe it could just be an illusion symbolism of the brutality of C.C's death glaring at the night guard's face as it kills them. This concludes my hypothesis.
