    The Bonnie mask is the mask Jeremy had when he was under Glitchtrap's control. It's not a coincidence that Vanny was told by Glitchtrap to make a mask and Tape girl brings up a mask. Jeremy is definitely not dead because if there is one thing that's consistent in FNAF is that if a character is not said to be dead, then they aren't dead.

    I love that one of the biggest debates in the overall fandom post HW2 is "which Jeremy is it?" instead of where in the timeline the game is or just how William Afton keeps coming back post UCN. It's a nice change of pace from the usual chaos that accompanies each new release in the franchise. ID proposed it's Paper Slicer Jeremy who survived trying to take his own life via face removal but Rye came up with one hell of a Theory suggesting that it's Jeremy Fitzgerald who recovered enough from The Bite of 87 to become Cassie's Dad and a top tier Fazbear Technician. Of the 2 excellent Theories, I think Paper Slicer Jeremy is more likely given the Candy Cadet story mentioning someone being scarred physically for life but I'd love it if it was Jeremy Fitzgerald who had his own Quest for post Bite of 83 redemption ala Michael Afton but ultimately failed. I think Jeremy got bamboozled by both Vanny and either Glitchtrap or the Mimic so either ending works. I guess Steel Wool is waiting for the overall fandom's feelings about what they came up with before going forward with the narrative.

    A key point to remember is that the Glamrocks are blind to anyone wearing the Vanny mask. Roxy would either not see us at all or would attack us when we aren't wearing the mask. So that tells me that during the minigames we are remote-controlling a Staffbot. And I'm leaning towards the identity of the player to be the Bonnie-masked bully from FNAF4. I mean, the Bonnie mask we find is for the original Bonnie, right? He's blocked out those memories, which is why he says "this looks familiar" when he finds the mask in PQ4. This is his redemption story, perhaps. And who knows, he probably is Cassie's dad too. Just tie all the loose threads together, why not. Maybe he's not the bully, maybe the original Jeremy from the MCI was his older brother and maybe he was too young to remember when Jeremy disappeared. Now he has to "remember Jeremy".

    I don't think it's a coincidence that in Ruin, we see through the Vanni mask the Princess Quest sword in the real world stabbed into the arcade cabinet (the non-princess quest game world, you know what I mean), and in HW2 (most likely set before Ruin) we get to use the PQ sword in the 'real world' in a sense. I'm beginning to think we, the HW2 player, left that sword in the arcade cabinet

    Great Vid! The Fazbear building sandwich is an intriguing idea and not out of Fnaf’s repertoire of goofy concepts. But I don’t particularly agree with the explanation of Sister location’s part in HW2
    Personally, I think how and why SL is shown in HW2 is because it’s the accumulated memories of our player character, having to relive it over and over again as we rot inside Mask Bot. So our player character could likely be around during SL, Pizza Sim, and Security Breach, and with the Bonnie Bro/Jeremy theory that includes a few more games. I think that Cassie’s Dad, most likely being the player character, was around longer in the fazbear franchise than we thought. And it would make complete sense that he was at sister location as if Bonnie Bro is correct, he’d be the same age range as Michael who was also in Sister Location.

    I mean you say that but when you consider HW1 having the “Fall fest of 83’”, Security breach having Multiple Fredbear posters, Ruin having a 70’s Fredbear cut out, and HW2 having “Fallfest 1970”, I don’t see why that wouldn’t be the case

It really feels like it’s specifically trying to push stuff from the 70’s-80’s with all the Fallfest stuff, Fredbear drawings, 80’s Merch that Cassie’s dad collects, and a Classic Bonnie mask that was also in Ruin with a fox mask (that’s always been tied to mike) and no other masks.

    10000% agree that GameDev jeremy was either killed or influenced by Glitchtrap, maybe even both (what i most agree with), but one connection that is usually overlooked is that Tape Girl's story about Jeremy tells us that he began complaining about and reporting the weird things happening in the game and, imo, parallels to the night guard that phone guy mentions in fnaf2 that "was complaining about.... conditions" and ended up getting dealt with bc he was reporting to the killer

    I’ve gotta say I like the idea that Cassie’s dad is Jeremy from HW1, I’ve always had a huge problem with the idea that her dad was Bonnie bully for multiple reasons.
    1) The age, since Bonnie bully would’ve most likely been in his mid 60s during the events of SB and Ruin meaning he would’ve been old enough to be Cassie’s grandfather, yes people can have kids at that age but it’s still very uncommon.
    2) Cassie’s dad‘s favorite animatronic is Bonnie, which I feel like wouldn’t make any sense if he was Bonnie bully because I feel like after the bite of 83 he wouldn’t like Bonnie anymore since I feel like Bonnie would be a constant reminder of what happened.
    3) As you stated earlier this HW2 to has no references to FNAF4 the same game Bonnie bully appeared in, HW2 isn’t even FNAF4 themed its theme after SL.
    4) If he really was Bonnie bully or even Jeremy Fitzgerald, it would make no sense for him to continue to let Cassie go to the Pizzaplex after Bonnie is decommissioned by most likely Monty. Since he would have firsthand experience witnessing an animatronic seemingly malfunction and hurting people(One of which ended up causing the death of CC and if he really is Jeremy Fitzgerald then he was possibly the bite of 87 victim), so it would make no sense for him to let Cassie keep returning after that incident out of fear that an animatronic could end up malfunction near her and end up attacking her.

    Do you think that lefty could be a refurbished carnie? This is a very long shot, im talkin 100 yard foot kick, but its just some fun thoughts that could conjure up something in the community.
    If you look at burnt carnie's model you can just barely see that his right eye is more withered. You may have to squint. But say that at that time his right eye got replaced because it was the most damaged of the two, after decades of collecting dust and rotting away, the untouched eye could have decayed to the point of becoming black. As Henry repared carnie to become lefty, the orginal eye may have stayed or been replaced with a new black eye for a unique touch.
    A more realistic approach could be the lefty's design is INSPIRED by his burnt orginal. The eye rotted eye i just mentioned could have inspired the black eye detail.
    One specific character of that I think could drive home this theory is the color. Burnt carnie is a muted brown with white char accents. But if you were to scrape all of burnt plastic off, you be left with a black tarnished metal. Notice that lefty is not solid black, but a metalic, gun metal black.
    I think it is possibe that lefty is either a repaired version of carnie, with it's new design based on the chared scraps of the original, or lefty was a completely different animatronic who's build was inspired by the remains of his counterpart.
    By the location of Fazer Blast and hint we see, I think that carnie was most likely a part of Fall Fest(most likely the 1970 event) if so, do you think it's possible that carnie was one of Henry's first animatronics. That was a whole decade before our first look at fredbears.
    Whether or not Fredbear's opened before 1983. I highly doubt that it was an establishment before 1970. I noticed that there is no sign of Freddy’s or Fredbear's on the poster. Which leads me to believe that this fall fest may have predated everything.
    The running theory is that the mediocre melodies were his first animatronics, made to rip off Freddy’s fame. But being that we see an animatronic a decade before that, that closely resembles one of his final animatronics. It really seems that carnie could be his first.
    Here's some food for thought. Henry has been deemed a copycat in the early timeline for the mediocre melodies. But if he made his first BEAR animatronic at a children's theme event in 1970, is he really the copycat? If William stole the idea and made Fredbear's, and Fredbear's became as big as it did. No one would bat an eye at a small carnival with a simple bear animatronic.
    I don't know if I like this idea, but I'm just throwing everything I got to see what sticks. Is it possible that William set the carnival on fire to one, prevent it from becoming more successful. And two, to take that idea and reuse it for himself. I don't think he was pure evil at this point, or really evil at all. But it's still just a thought.
    I don't really think that lefty is a remade carnie. I think it's possible that the design could have been inspired by the withered design. But I doubt that they put that much thought into a connection like that.
    I am pretty confident, though, that carnie was most likely the first and that Henry was never really the copycat. But more so, tried to reclaim the ideas stolen from him later on after William's fame.

    Candy Cadet is talking about our player character, not Vanessa. I also understand that Bonnie Bro may seem like a leap, but consider the message "remember Jeremy" in HW1. We have 'e-mails' Jeremy, Paper Cutter Jeremy, Bite '87 Jeremy and MCI Jeremy. But what if there are FEWER Jeremys in the FNAF universe then 3? What if there's only two? What if Cassie is named in memory of Cassidy? The local girl who went missing the same time Jeremy went missing? What if the connection between Cassie and Cassidy is simply that Cassie's parents remember Cassidy... And now the voice, the voice in the virtual world, is taunting Cassie's father to... Remember Jeremy. What if Cassie's Father worked on the VR game, when the voice started this? Remember Jeremy... Remember Jeremy... While I believe Glitchtrap is there, in VR, notice it never speaks to us effectively; Glitchtrap only finds an effective way to speak through Helpi in Ruin; HW2 shows us that it "found" Helpy in the VR's / AR's data but still couldn't be as direct as it is in ruin... Now, consider this; who is only in your dreams? Who is "hiding" around the pizzaplex and able to haunt your nightmares? Remember, Jeremy.

    One thing I'd like to add are some of the cut Vanny dialogue, specifically "You are the last" and "It kept you for a reason". "You are the last" is referring to the fact that Jeremy is the last follower of Glitchtrap. Gregory and Vanessa are free. I think "It kept you for a reason" suggests that Jeremy was Glitchtrap's backup plan incase he were to be weakened like in the SB PQ ending. As we see in Ruin, Glitchtrap was able to use Jeremy to give Cassie the VANNI mask as his last effort.
