My favourite FNaF character having same birthday month as me sounds so peak. Would be even more peak if its evidence pointed towards May 20 but alas it points to May 6-7. But hey, at least it's a funny number though, and I still have the power of headcanons :)

Totally no particular reason for paranthesis or capitalizing btw, just normal question.

Erm technically the definition of CassidyVictim does not deny that Cassidy as the fifth victim and girl exists separately, it's just most popular interpretations.

Pros:

• Explains why both Faded & Altered give name Cassidy
• Scott always reuses names in FNaF so it makes sense
• Another MemoryVictim victory
• Isn't two Cassidy's a better ship than Cassidy x some other name?

This lore is so cooked, wdym 10 hours of yappery on what we can't answer💔

Please read ShatterBeth page on the wiki just in case you don't know what "putting Elizabeth back together" means.

Most WillCare proponents always bring up that William wanted to put Elizabeth back together, and that's why he sent Elizabeth back together. While this makes sense at first, there is ONE thing that people always overlook in this:

WHY exactly is Elizabeth shattered? She got killed by Baby and was inside of her, there is zero reason for her to be in other Funtimes... the answer is simple. William experimented on her to see how "brokenness" of soul works after that happened to Crying Child (which presumably happened because his death circumstances were unique unlike all other kids). Think about it: all MCI kids got into their respective suits where they were stuffed and were never split until... oh. William came. I think pretty much everyone knows how MoltenMCI goes, but one aspect that people probably forget is that William somehow got only part of the Remnant of each MCI kid out of four (yes I don't believe Golden Freddy was dismantled but that doesn't really matter here), the other part remained in the suits (these are the spirits that block William's way in final Follow Me minigame). This means he has the ability to soul split. And now this makes perfect sense.

Now, some of you may heavily object: "But he told her to not go near Baby! This shows love! He clearly wouldn't experiment on her!" And I'll give you even more: since he was aware Elizabeth was shattered, shocking Baby can also be dismissed because he knew it wasn't Elizabeth. However, there is one thing that everyone tends to overlook... William gives ZERO crap about Elizabeth in FFPS. NONE. Scrap Baby is in the same building, same vents, and he knows others in the building as he is "fascinated" by "what they have become". (Note: Elizabeth herself clearly doesn't know William is Scraptrap, she thinks he's the manager, so that's not a counter argument against William knowing) The line itself refers either to Funtimes, MCI inside Funtimes, Elizabeth with one of those or all three: either way, it clearly shows he recognizes Funtimes/MCI even in such a state, so he would surely recognize his daughter and that she is put back together as he is observing what others have become like. You would expect a loving dad that had his goal to put back together his child out of grief to be so happy, excited, or at the very least talk to or about her... but no. William has zero lines about her. Heck, he even tells Michael that killing him is bittersweet but fitting, and implies that he expected better from him upon defeating Michael.

Best case, as I said earlier, he mentions her in "fascinating, what they have become" alongside with others, which... unironically aligns with him viewing her as experiment, supporting my point.

I don't think he planned Elizabeth's death and I do think he cared about her, but albeit as a tool (WillTwistedCare, my beloved). He most likely liked how she is loyal and fanatically loves him, but there is one thing: she disobeyed his direct order he repeated several times and went to Circus Baby. I think this coldened his attitude to her after he learnt that. This is consistent with Michael: in FNaF 3, (presumably) Mike doesn't burn the place until Night 6, but he fights his father with audio lures. Will very clearly dislikes that and considers him directly disobeying, hence why he attacks in FNaF 3. He also fights back in FFPS. Aforementioned William's line can also imply that: it's "fitting" because he is grounding his brat for disobedience. Of course, Elizabeth didn't exactly fight him, hence why he isn't so aggressive to her as to Michael and only simply coldened to her. That's why he simply decided to use this incident for Remnant study purposes while it happened anyways.

So yeah, that's the idea I came up with a bit before I starting writing this. Especially came up with this because I vaguely recalled that the ShatterBeth page says that it happened either due to William experimenting with her soul or she just split between Funtimes herself and... like, only one option makes sense here given how possession works in this canon.

Credit to Sadguy6734 on Fandom who made it here, I just wanted to share her meme cuz I found it funny.

All of these are real theories btw (CassidyVictim, PuppetCassidy, MikeCassidyBot, FoxyBroCassidy)

Also, Mr. Hippo lowkenuinely describes all these TOYSNHK debates here ngl ngl

Especially since Altered asks "WHO ARE YOU" and "WHAT IS YOUR NAME" in the search puzzle itself.

There was also another description of William other than what is on photos, iirc from Charlie, that he was always looked down upon by everyone but I'm too lazy to find it.

Anyways, just a thought I had that under WillFlawedCare, where he tries to "toughen up" Crying Child. Since Crying Child’s bullying by Michael, other bullies and even neighborhood kids sounds very similar to William's hinted past in the novels, maybe the reason William doesn't simply protect him is because sooner or later CC will have to be on his own, without William, and his situation will be just like Will's. So instead of direct intervention he attempts to simply guide him as Fredbear Plush and help him toughen up, so in the future he can stand up to himself and avoid the pain in life William had.

So Novels might be used to support WillFlawedCare when you look at it right :> Especially if you consider that it’s probably the only hint at William’s own trauma (except OriginMM), so it’s very likely Games William shares it as well.
