Work Text:
FNaF 1 was start of it all. Michael Afton being the night guard for 1, SL, and Pizza Simulator. Paycheck slips are proof of that, as well as him actually talking in end of SL, while his father walks past Frights. Jeremy switching with Mike in FNaF 2 maybe? Seems that way. Bonnie and Freddy's dead children died together, as shown on newspaper clips and gravestones with same font.
With Will dead and trapped in boarded up safe room, Henry takes over FNaF 2, making the animatronics even? He did make Funtime Chica in UCN, that was his creation, as well the others possibly but Will stole those and took credit. Even modified them to be killer team working together. Reading the main FNaF Books states exactly that. As well FNaF World's cutscene. The Toys have parts from the original gang, thus causing those to be possessed by the original dead kids. Very much how Andrew from the FNaF Books has spread himself to other objects, to terrify others. Jake having to collect all of them to reduce accidents, and possible death. The gang in FNaF 1 most likely got same parts from originals as well, seeing how they're clearly out for blood and mistake Mike for his father. Like those in SL have.
At this point, there's a chain of Fazbear's pizzarias all over Utah. Like Chuck E Cheese, there's more than one Freddy's. By 3rd game, Henry is now the night guard. He probably got several calls about nightguards being attacked at night or maybe he got a feeling this tragedy wasn't over yet. Whatever the case, he wanted to burn it down. The fire in Pizza Simulator, and seeing both the Toys and Older gang in hallucinations, tells me and many others, this is Henry Emily. Michael got fed lies by his own father. Telling him to deactivate the animatronics and take them apart, as the only way to set them free. Henry on the other hand, might have the SL blueprints and knows only boiling temperatures can set the spirits free from their walking coffins. Only real animatronic waltzing about, is William in Springbonnie suit. Who has been dead for 30-40 years, and guy has been in zombie mode for that long. No windows, no people, nothing but a small room with no exit. Of course he ain't going to be coherent for some time.
Scott puts realism into all of his games, it's all fictional but Crying Child sideways as he gets bitten? Side of our skulls, is our weakest point. Paper checks with certain amount of pay, dated back then years ago. Small companies branching out all over, cutting corners to keep up the financial expense. Mentioned above on William being in a small room for so long, that's psychological torture right there. Anyone can google up what occurs in one's mind, when that happens. Springbonnie suit going gold to this nasty rotting green with awful smell of a corpse. Crying Child losing his frontal lobe means he's replaying hellish nightmares over, over and over again. Another easy thing to google up.
In the 4th game, we are given insight of Crying Child and his better half. More so CC. He's being abused, just like his siblings have. By each other and by William Afton as well. FNaF Books has it where Elizabeth, Afton's daughter, shares with us about her history with her father smacking her around. Mike and Liz want their father's approval and attention, by any means necessary. Mike bullies his little brother, be cause for some really strange reason, he is the center of Willam's attention. Elizabeth defies her father's warnings and gets killed by Circus Baby, now even more crazed to get his fatherly love. Mike, after killing his little brother by using Fredbear, he's now in desperate state to redeem himself in his father's eyes and goes over to SL, to save his sister. He fails, gets killed and roams Utah as a conscious zombie.
Back to CC, he possibly knows what is going on. With the murders, probably suspects his own father. Probably saw his own sister getting killed by Circus Baby. He got his own Lonely Freddy but as plush toy of Fredbear, thus how Will keeps watch over his own son, and it was never in a protective parental way. Or even worse yet, the room his brother trapped him in. He saw black haired little girl in Fredbear's torso. Very much like the fright books themselves tells us in one of their stories. That little girl with black hair, Cassidy, she shows up in the main FNaF Books and 4th game, as Nightmare. Other little girl sharing these wild scary stories about animatronics coming alive in night, seeing his father put a mascot head on another, possibly knowing how his sister died. All adds up to why Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare have series of sharp teeth on their stomachs. For the others, his mind without rational thought, making up murderous animatronics that are designed with an appearance to kill. He's fighting back in a way, Cassidy as Nightmare, wants a new friend and ally.
Sister Location is storytelling how Michael dies. How William surveillances his own youngest son and talks to him thru Fredbear plush. Circus Baby killing the only daughter, how the funtimes function and kill. With Fredbear plush, we see Jake got Simon by his dad and nurse. How his dad overseas in war, can talk to his son using a voice modifier thru Simon toy and pretend to be a child. He was keeping tabs on his own son, and hopes to cheer him up. Helping the boy fight his cancer off. It's the very opposite with Fredbear plush and Crying Child. William is paranoid about his child knowing everything, and saw everything going on with CC. The bullying, and exact moment of when he died. Will did not seem to care in the slightest about his own kids, we know this about Elizabeth for certain. And at the end, where Fredbear plush states we're still your friends, we'll put you back together? He was hearing his older brother I like to think. Or maybe it was his father. William Afton is the biggest dick ever, soon as it was discovered that he physically abused his kids, even mentally and possibly verbally, I disliked the bastard instantly. As a survivor myself, I was extremely bias in that..
FNaF World is Crying Child's imagination of sorts. Circus Baby and Fredbear telling us to collect clocks to buy some time, put him back together to help. Gather everyone up to work together in this effort to save CC.
In Pizza Simulator, we're playing as Michael Afton once again and for the last time possibly. Henry himself has built a new pizzaria, with new equipment bought, even using a machine to produce noise to act as kids screaming in joy and other noises. The whole place is a maze, a labyrinth of sights, and smells. We seen the layout, it's all vents with small rooms attached. There was no way in or out. It all a fabric illusion Henry made to lure and trick the remaining animatronics, even forcing his daughter in by Lefty. Michael knows, does as he is told and survives each night. The lawsuit papers, the customers we never see or really ever hear, getting the machines and animatronics, setting up the place? All of that was for show. It's called Pizza SIMULATOR for that reason. Reading the lawsuit papers is obvious, they're ridiculous and hilarious to read. Henry setting the entire place on fire, seeing the blueprints, how Henry himself tells us this wasn't as real as we might think, all states this was burial ground built for, and to trap murderous animatronics. To kill himself and end Michael's suffering, Henry never wants another innocent soul to step into Freddy's. Even as we order cups, and other useless items. We can't order pickles but we can build the place on the computer and plays arcade games, like it's The Sims. Yet we never get out of the chair, we are doing everything via computer. Only time we get out of that tiny room, is when we're checking off the scrapped animatronics.
William heard the calling, a device possibly, that signals each animatronic with a built in tracker or something, telling them they must return to the source of said device. This kind of thing, if you think about it, is to prevent thief. Very much like how if we misplace our phone, laptop, carkeys, car or anything of that sort. We have a way to track where it is, the location of it and go after it. It's how police can track our phones, or find where our car is by driver's license plates. That's a bit of realism right there as well. Another thing to add, is the sounds. Henry knows these animatronics are drawn to children. Their sounds more specifically. Because of his time in FNaF 3, he knows that fire works in setting the souls free, children's noises lures them in. If pizza simulator was an actual setup of a pizzeria, it would've looked like what we got in FNaF 1, 2, 3, 4 and Sister location. Where we sit in a chair, and/or walk door to door.
UCN is self explanatory. Cassidy and Crying Child work together to bring everyone involved, with them to Hell, to torment William Afton. The melodies, and few other non-possessed beings are Cassidy's and Crying Child's roleplaying fictional characters. Their own muses with made up personalities and backstories.
Lastly for now, Security Breach. That is tying into the Fright Books a bit. William Afton, part of himself, is coming back. Like Molten Freddy, he's an amalgamation of parts to make this grotesque bunny monster. 3rd Jeremy or maybe same one from FNaF 2, fought against Glitchtrap from Help Wanted, and lost. Using the paper slicer to his own face. Vanny/Vanessa accepted William, losing some control of herself. Glitchtrap isn't in full control but he is using what he knows best: Fear. To get some control over her. She isn't rich, she can do 3D models in blender and IT programming. She is leading Luis on, working as a nightguard in the new Freddy's and abusing the system in AR, Help Wanted and now Security Breach. Her suit is patchwork, as I stated, she isn't rich. She isn't related to Aftons at all, she is in her early 20s. It's been well over 40-50s years now, William has been dead for a very long time. Unless he's one those that freezes their own sperm in a hospital, it is extremely unlikely. Vanny could've lied as well, to land a job, about the last name.
Vanny and Vanessa being the same person, it's possible William Afton has been endlessly working on a way to get full control over the girl. Vanny is Glitchtrap in control, insanity prevails. While Vanessa is fighting back, as the night guard. Or Vanny is trying to pull the curtains over the boy's eyes and act like a guardian. Being in full control of herself but forever deathly afraid of William Afton.
I've worked on this all day, FNaF isn't all that confusing to be honest.. I'll add more to this when I get back on. You'll know I've worked on it when I've done [Updated XX/XX/XX] below.

Okay so Vanessa is Vanny, All of the games from 2014 to 2018 have been just that: A series of games made by Scott.
Tape girl in Help Wanted said so herself and HandUnit
Tape 13
“They lied to us. They lied to all of us. They told us that the whole point of this VR game was to undo the bad PR done by a rogue indie game developer, who supposedly made up a bunch of crazy stories that tarnished the brand. But that’s not true at all! In their haste to develop this VR game and clear their name, they sent us some things I don’t think they intended us to see. Such as a hard drive containing e-mails between Fazbear Entertainment and a certain indie developer. Fazbear Entertainment hired the game developer. Those indie games were designed to conceal and make light of what happened. This isn’t just an attempt to rebrand. It’s an elaborate cover-up. A campaign to discredit everything.”
Basically, Help Wanted and Security Breach are the real events going on in Utah of FNaF Verse. Everything before that was speculation, fabric of one man's imagination gone wild with what's told by Henry Emily or someone else of the old Fazbear company.
Cassidy is in Security Breach, She's the yellow princess. Not sure what's going on there, yellow princess is suppose to be Vanessa but maybe Will somehow got the little girl latched onto Vanessa to make Vanny? Again, this is Nightmare from FNaF 4, Cassidy. She's causing nightmares and keeping Will alive to make him comatose, suffering eternally. If Will somehow passed Cassidy off like hotpotato, Vanessa gets no sleep, as the new book title states: Somniphobia. I hope not, poor girl suffered enough just dealing with Will's bs..
Security Breach also takes place in 2035 year. Covid is a thing in that verse, and using umodel to look into game files. We know Cassidy was present in the game, as well her actual name. Chica's face in one quest game might be connected to that. She, Susan, was the first one to die as pre words from UCN. Cassidy mightve not far off to get killed next. Another thing is we got CC's name as well. Norman Afton. In Help Wanted's files, again using Umodel, they named it 'NormanBedroom' and never changed it anything else. Since we got ALL of their names, I'd like to remind y'all to never attack others if they wanna name their CC Evan, or Michael. None of us knew what CC's name was, nor his better half: Nightmare's. Treesicle knew, they figured out the security book that Michael doodled in. Mike was chatting with Cassidy possibly. We didn't know whom was Cassidy however, not yet back then anyway.
I feel like I'm missing something, and I would go into with SB but others have made solid points, and I think you guys should give them a listen

Mimic is canon. Henry did it, he killed William Afton for real, I hope in Pizza Simulator. Mimic been an idea or around far back as FNaF World. Which is 2016. Glitchtrap is one of those Mimics. Explains why he copies Tape Girl's voice to speak to us. It was the only voice, he used. Tape Girl is possibly dead, due to this. Cassidy is left by herself, but she's trying hard to prevent murders. She was helping Vanessa out as the Princess. None or much of the original children that died first, never moved on? The blob, being in control by Funtime Freddy, got several other walking coffins of the others but that was obvious. Mimic and Fazbear Ent are the threats now. William Afton has retired finally by force. Michael Afton is gone with his father. I'll have to keep reading the books. How did Gregory get caught up in this, William latched onto him? We didn't get much info on OMC either. Replaying the games might help, like FNaF World, Norman's imagination gone wild that included the Mimic. FNaF is very wide open. I love that about the franchise.

Mimic and/or Prototype killed Glamrock Bonnie. I'd like to know more about what happened to lead up to that. Some think Vanessa as Vanny caused that. It's likely due to her control over the glamrocks. With the notes we get. Vanessa sooing away an officer over a call about a child. Bonnie called them as some theorize. Playing ruin gives us direct answers to Prototype being the target, when collecting Bonnie theme items.
