My reasoning is the FNaF 2 minigames. In most of the FNaF 2 minigames, there's a phrase being spelled, like "SAVE HIM," "HELP THEM," and "SAVE THEM." The only minigame where this doesn't occur is Foxy Go Go Go, the minigame that shows the MCI kids' corpses. And all the minigames where a phrase is being spelled have the Puppet be present in some way; "SAVE HIM" shows the Puppet's death, "HELP THEM" shows the Puppet giving life to the MCI kids, and "SAVE THEM" shows the Puppet moving around the FNaF 2 location. But in Foxy Go Go Go, it's just buzzing; Probably because the Puppet isn't present, which could be because Charlie hasn't died yet.

Now, despite that, I don't believe Charlie87; Because I find the idea of Charlie dying in the same week as the DCI to be incredibly weird and convoluted, and also because I believe GGGLBodies, the theory that Give Gifts Give Life is the Puppet showing the MCI kids their bodies, and if Charlie died in 1987, she probably wouldn't be able to because Fazbear Entertainment disposed of the bodies, as we clearly don't see the corpses in the Withereds in gameplay.

Mostly because I looked at it on the FNaF theory wiki and found it has only three problems, at least as listed on the wiki. Also, it's just extremely narratively satisfying for Mike to watch over a kid who looks like the brother he killed.

I feel a lot of people don't think about this theory because they pair it with GregBot, and all the other theories MatPat made when he was probably smoking.

I used to be a HEAVY ShatterVictim believer in 2023, but now I barely even think about it; But I look at ShatterBeth, think it has good enough evidence, and believe it.

I feel there's a lot of contradictory evidence as to what the Fredbear plush is. There are the haunted eyes and teleportation, leading you to believe it has to be a spirit possessing a plushie, but then Sister Location implies it's a tool of surveillance, which does not explain the haunted eyes and teleportation; It also raises a question: If WillPlush is true, then HOW did Scott expect us to know that at the time of FNaF 4, even though FNaF 4 implies it is haunted, when FNaF 4 was supposed to be the last game?

I know I talked about this in a post asking what people think is the most confusing mystery of FNaF 4, but I wanna talk about the Fredbear plush specifically, so I can see other people's opinions.

I find it weird how Charlie originally died in 1982 in the novels, before it was changed to 1983, and died in 1982 in the movie, and some pieces of source code in teasers to FNaF 4 are ciphered into 1982.

Just what is so significant about it? It can't be the year Charlie died, cause she died at Freddy's, which opened in 1983. I feel we're given so little as to what makes this year significant.

The theory that he also used the Fredbear suit is called TwoSuitsMCI. I don't know anyone who believes it, but I think it's a cool, niche take, even if I don't believe it.

Personally, I think it's the Fredbear plush, because there's so much contradictory evidence as to what he is. He has haunted eyes and teleports around, implying the Fredbear plush is possessed, but Sister Location implies he's a tool of surveillance by William; And my problem with Sister Location implying it's a tool of survelience is that it raises a question: If FNaF 4 was meant to be the last game, how did Scott expect us to conclude the Fredbear plush is a tool of surveillence when the game implies it's haunted?

I really don't know the purpose behind putting his paycheck in Ticket to Fun if he's just a random guy.

I wanna know so I can know if FNaF 4 was trying to answer or clarify any of them.

I know whatever answers I get are probably gonna vary depending on what theories people believe.

We know Dream Theory was never true, so please don't say Dream Theory.

I'm a MikeNeutral believer, and I mostly see MikeHero believers throughout the FNaF fandom in general. Personally, not only does MikeNeutral have good evidence imo, but I just LIKE protagonists that aren't exactly morally good or evil.

I don't believe either is canon, but I wanna know which would make more sense, unless that's highly debated.

Cause I gotta say, it'd be kinda funny if William wasn't only experimenting on kids with nightmare gas, but also making them go through the freaking Truman show.

I know there are a bunch of other options, but these are the two most likely to me.

For Sister Location, I say there's a lot of evidence through all the Chica stuff we've been getting; We got Chica's Party World finally being revealed in Secret of the Mimic, there's that Chica's Secret Party thing; I feel it makes sense for it to be teasing a Sister Location 2 that takes place at Chica's Party World because Sister Location was the game that even revealed its existence.

But FNaF World 2 would be amazing, so it's also possible, especially since Scott has shown interest in making another FNaF World game.

I don't believe Andrew is in the games, but it's easier and more fun to theorize about other continuities' stories than about what they add to the games, so I'm doing this.

So Into the Pit showcases 6 MCI kids ("Half a dozen" and 6 corpses in the game), and since Andrew is introduced as a kid whom William killed, it's logical to assume that Andrew is the 6th MCI kid. (I haven't read the books for myself, so I don't know if William actually killed Andrew or if Andrew just hates him)

But then, The New Kid implies Andrew is in Golden Freddy, with the corpse with black curly hair, and since we believe the 5th MCI kid is in Golden Freddy, that would mean Andrew is the 5th MCI kid. But then we would have to answer who this 6th kid is.

I feel like the comments are gonna have a lot of debate, because I don't know if we're given any info on Andrew's past.

This is a follow-up to my previous post, where I said I didn't really like theories that bring characters that come from the books into the games. I saw all the comments, and while some agreed with me, most disagreed. After looking at all the comments that disagreed with me, I've concluded that I'm a larping chud.

I had the wrong mindset: It wasn't claiming a book character exists in the games, then figuring out a role for them, it's figuring out a role, then claiming they exist in the games; There's more stuff to these theories, but this is the one I misinterpreted and got wrong.

Basically, this is sort of an apology to those who believe any book character is in the games. I'm sorry for hating on a theory you like. I'm fine with the idea of Andrew, or any other character from the books, being in the games now, and I'm gonna try not to be disrespectful to any other theories anymore.

If you think this post in unecessary, you're probably right, as no one probably cared, but I'm still making it anyway.

I have two main reasons: one is that there's nothing really suggesting their existence if we look at JUST the games, and the other is that you would have to answer what role they have or what they do. For Andrew, I understand, cause he fills a similar role to TOYSNHK in UCN, but for OTHER book characters, it's just hard to get an idea of what they even DO. Like, oh, you want Michael Brooks or Sammy Emily to be in the games? Name ONE thing they do.

Edit: Guys, I am referring to characters that COME FROM the books. Please stop mentioning William, Henry, and Charlie.

Edit 2: I've concluded that I'm wrong, and I feel like a chud now. I already made a post about it.

I found a FNaF theory on the FNaF theories wiki called MikeCassidy, which is that Michael Afton is somehow Cassidy, and I seriously went "Who the actual fuck?"

Because for me, it's the idea of Michael only being the protagonist of SL and FFPS, and no other games. I LIKE the idea, but there is just so much evidence that proves MichaelFNaF1, and that causes a domino effect that proves he's the protagonist of the other games.
