I think you should consider combining this with shatter victim theory as well. The books also introduce the concept that in order for a sole to rest, you need to “put together” the objects the soul haunt. Its easier for the other souls since they haunt their respective animatronics, but the crying child Haunts an entire pizzeria. So basicly im proposing that in order for a sole to rest, you need two things: the sole to be in a happy memory, and the objects it haunts to be put together. I believe you absolutely nailed down the story line, but in the end of Fnaf world, the puppet guides mike how to “put together” Dave’s objects.
@@CandiBuunny also a detail you forgot to mention out, the reason Cassidy can communicate with Dave better and enter his mind is because Cassidy haunts golden Freddy and Dave probably has a part of him inside golden Freddy (his head to be more accurate lol)
This idea is further supported by the puppet saying that the “*pieces* are in place” for Dave to rest, which hints that she had to orchestrate multiple things in order for Dave to rest. The only thing I truly don’t get is why is the puppet being represented by the Freddy plush…
@@fashvr9961if you mean the glitched Fredbear, I think it’s just she’s not actually in Dave’s mind and is basically hacking into the “game” and Fredbear being the guide for the player on their “adventure” meant they’d be talking with him a lot, so he was the best way to communicate with Cassidy.
@@thepixelman4776 actually now when thinking about it. In fnaf 4 through the intire game the person speaking to Dave through fredbear (probably William) had a yellow text, but in the last scene, the text shifted to a brighter yellow, indicating that a new character is talking through fredbear. Further supporting the idea that the I will put you back together is being said by someone else, the puppet
You see if you just put whatever letters you want into the Foxy grid and then pick every third letter then write them BACKWARDS it spells out jerubadinka!!! And falafel logically follows of course
I'm thinking this more and more each video of yours I watch: honestly, you have what it takes to become one of the next big FNAF theorists, like Fuhnaff, Ryetoast, ID's Fantasy, etc. The research, editing, writing and voiceover are immaculate, and your theories are insanely good. All you need now is growing recognition, and I'm sure it's on its way!
Thank you! This is so kind! Of course growth is awesome but I am SO happy with the views I'm getting right now! I never imagined I'd be this big after only 15 videos!
22:05 This just makes me picture the vengeful spirit standing at the edge of the lake, flipping OMC the middle finger, and diving backwards into the lake
I don’t remember where I first saw the theory, but something that fits neatly here is that the Fredbear plush is Cassidy. Not as in they posses it, but that it’s a representation of them observing Dave’s memories spiritually pre-happiest day.
I wholeheartedly agree with this, though I think the recurrent crying that comes along with Golden Freddy in The Week Before and the Happiest Day kid wearing a Golden Freddy mask suggest that Dave is certainly a possessor of Golden Freddy alongside his agony haunting the Fazbear locations
Between HyperDroid figuring Dave's name and you figuring out the full story of FNAF world (and it's strangest ending) I think this year has been full of justice for CC and his story I once heard the theory that OMC is supposed to be Mike and while I don't think that theory applies past the first arc, i think it's an interesting angle for Fnaf World in that the last obstacle to Dave's happiest memory is the Mike he keeps in his mind. Maybe he victim blamed Dave when he was bullying him so Mike became associated with "consequences" and it feels right that the last thing Cassidy has to do is say "f*ck you" to Mike and dive in. On some level, someone needed to stand up for the crying child even as Mike regrets what he did so disobeying the Mike of Dave's mind is a neat idea to me. (I think RyeToast did a video on that interpretation of OMCif you're curious) Thank you for the video and looking forward to more of your work
People pointed out in the last Happiest Day video that if OMC is Mike, it's really cool that he's fishing in the lake the memory is in, seemingly trying himself
the fnaf lore is a lot about parallels, this at some point made me think of how much Cassie cares about Gregory (who lets be honest is sooo cc coated )
lol i posted this and then you explained the falling part and like theirs another instance of someone falling with no end and assuming frebby Greg and Vanessa are together the happy end is there too. but its 2.22 am i might just be delulu
Wowza thanks for the shoutout!! I had already written a reference to one of your vids in my new Sister Location video, but now I feel like I'm a copycat 😂. Really liked this video - I always enjoy trying to figure out what the hell Dave is up to in any of the games. But that all being said... I can't believe you beat me to my Jarebedinkafalafel CC name reveal video. Smh
You got me on a google rabbit hole. Apparently the average person makes 15-30 gallons of tears a YEAR?? But some of them are the tears that keep your eyes lubricated that we don't think of as tears and some of them are the tears that come when you have an irritant in your eye. And you make less as you age. Wack.
@@CandiBuunny He's crying because he misses his sister or something, Elizabeth might have been the only person who truly brought joy to David during his 7 years of being Human.
The longer I look at Crying Child's haircut the more I question if the Mimic is Wiliams first attempt at trying to bring back his son, and his agony is the key to everything happening in the series kicking off.
Can't believe I found another person who thinks the same thing. Thanks to John Fuhnaff revealing that the Steel Wool era of FNAF has been taking heavy inspiration from the Silver Eyes trilogy, I wonder if the Mimic was to William for his dead son as Circus Baby (before being taken by Afton) was to Henry for his dead daughter.
Not impossible, but if SOTM does take place in 1979, then the mimic should predate Dave’s death and I assume would have some agony already . He could’ve retroactively attempted to make him into that though; I’ve thrown around the idea that he did the same with Baby and Henry partly or entirely built her.
hi again!! incredible video, as always! i recently found a reddit post talking about how Fredbear’s song “The Secret Ingredient Is You,” as named in The Week Before, could be a hint telling us that the crying child is the cakes in the happiest day minigames, which while i dont get the original reasoning, i made my own, being that after the vengeful spirit found cc’s happiest memory, cc went to each of the mci kids and gave them their own happiest day, since he finally knew how. it kinda relies on believing in shattervictim and that the vengeful spirit isnt the spirit inside golden freddy, but i follow both of those currently so ive no qualms with it. keep up the awesome work!!
That is such a sweet theory! My first reaction to the song name was thinking of it more like the recipe for immortality/possession. The secret ingredient is the soul of a victim to make remnant sort of?
love this theory honestly, lots of moving parts but it's very satisfying, and makes great use of that fnaf world screen (where they're at the tv) since it's been so confusing for the longest time, i remember people debating whether it was people or an angel with wings lmao
I like the way you've presented this. A lot of people have been commenting on FNAF World and Dave's subconscious being healed. I would like to think that the Vengeful Spirit is trying to help Dave, but I think it's only adding to the fuel that VS has for Afton. And that the VS cannot fully avenge themselves and the others, Dave included, if Dave is holding him back from it. Despite what happened in Dave's life, he still loves his father. It's possible Dave may have thought William's spring locking was enough punishment. But the VS didn't see it that way. And every time the VS attempts to punish William, Dave prevents them from doing it. So the VS decides that they have to free themselves from yet another Afton. Because as long as Dave is in there, there is no retribution. So he goes and tries to set Dave free. And once the VS does this, there's nothing holding it back from carrying out it's punishment on William completely.
Amazing theory. First crying child narrative I've heard that seems really convincing, and from the only fnaf-tuber who has me laughing out loud multiple times per video. Can't wait for that next one. I'm sure I'll find something to disagree with in it.
I’ve always liked (in a tragic way) that unlike the other spirits, Dave isn’t vengeful and doesn’t seem to really attack us in any way (at least I like to think). In fact, he doesn’t have any goal at all; he doesn’t know how to move on and is helplessly stuck roaming the place he hates (either by GoldenDuo wheres he’s blind and can’t move or your theory that he’s in the pizzerias sometimes moving things). This is kinda what I always figured was the reason he seemed to disappear as the series went on. Sad thing is, he didn’t have many friends, seemingly little family (and even then they all disappear too), and him being killed on accident by bullies, he wouldn’t be held in the same regard as the MCI kids. Even on a meta level we just learned his name. Granted, that’s also kinda a mercy since that means he doesn’t become a killer robot ghost bear and he gets to move on without being set on fire. Idk if I had a point, less a theory and more why how I’ve thought of CC as a character and why he seems to disappear from the narrative. Great video as usual.👍
I love this video so much! David deserves his own videos like these and I'm all here for it! I'm so glad you brought up how Michael never hated David because its true, he never did! I know I left a long comment on your FNAF world video discussing this and other things regarding the brothers, but it feels really nice having more people understand that Michael nor David never hated each other, despite what happened with them back in 1983. Family is powerful and FNAF shows that beautifully with the Afton children. Despite William being a horrible person and father, the siblings had each other and their bond stayed strong until FNAF 6. Michael not only worked for every Freddy's location to atone for what he did to David and save him from his agony, but he did the same for Elizabeth. It makes sense to me that Mike would go down to the bunker on his own free will, even if William told him to. He got himself scooped on purpose because he knew it would help put Elizabeth back together, to free her. Michael has been shown to do absolutely anything for his loved ones, his younger siblings. I do believe part of him still loves his father, but only because they're father and son, nothing else. Michael did what William never could, free those trapped in a limbo of agony, intentional or not. It was intentional for him to free Elizabeth and David, but not the other kids. I like this since it shows Mike has his flaws with thinking and his obsession was only focused on atoning for his mistakes as a teenager to his younger siblings, particularly David. Even so, Michael isn't a bad person, far from it. If he truly hated Dave and Elizabeth, he wouldn't actively seek them when working at Freddy's and going down to the bunker of hell his father left for him. The narrative of FNAF 1-6 and FNAF world is truly one of my favorites in all of gaming and I'm glad you covered it with how David fits into each game. I agree he possesses the buildings and not any object in particular; it was his agony and memories that possessed the very hell he went through everyday. Lastly, I know I said this before, but the fact David's happiest memory is him spending quality time with Mike and Elizabeth says everything. It touches my heart every time and it shows how much he loves and cares about his siblings. He never hated Michael for what he did to him, of course it was painful and he felt betrayed at the time, but he learned to forgive and accept the happy memories he had with him. Its so powerful; I love it so much.
Oh man I love the parallel of Mike sacrificing himself and letting himself get scooped to save those with soul, likely thinking it would kill him compared to his cowardly father getting springlocked in an attempt to save himself from the spirits. Love the Mike appreciation post!
If Cassidy really is the fnaf world player then it is really interesting the lengths they went through to let Dave rest, while taking the decision never to rest themselves and instead haunt Afton for eternity. Maybe helping Dave only made their hate stronger.
My main problem with the Happiest Day minigame is we only see the 4 MCI kids presumably (I mean, I guess they could technically be the bullies if you really wanted to go there), Charlotte, 5 unknowns in the back who we don't see pass on (DCI?), and Dave himself. Cassidy isn't there and that always annoyed me. Same goes for Micheal and Elizabeth to a degree. Is Dave representing both of them as Golden Freddy? And if Dave doesn't process Golden Freddy way is he depicted as Golden Freddy? Could this actually be Cassidys' Happiest Day? But no this is Daves Happiest Day as the minigame is a mirror to FNAF 4 day time minigames. But if that is Dave's Happiest Day then what is the Happiest Day we see in FNAF World?
I agree that Dave haunted the places because his agony was all over the place and in every item, and Garrett does the same thing in the movie. But I think he was in Sister Location, or at least in the schematics for Funtime Freddy, not sure if his corpse was still inside of Freddy at the time the game took place. Also I don't think Afton experimented on Dave, the experiments started after Dave died. Much like in the books, remnant/agony powers the animatronics and gives them "life", so he needed constant supply of agony to keep Freddy and later Baby "alive". Great Video though, subbed :)
Your explanation of FNAF 4’s gameplay makes the Nightmare Fredbear drawing the logbook make so much sense. It explains why Mike would have seen it AND why he would’ve felt compelled to draw it on that page. It just feels so right.
Now i don't mean to toot my own horn buuuut... Hearing you talk about how the puppet could assume the form of glitched fredbear cus the puppet has more weird supernatural knowledge makes me feel like i actually helped with the theory haha. Also! I adore this video :)
Wholly unrelated to the actually theory but at 13:54 FNaF, funnily enough, actually has an instance of calling something a "____ Sandwich" in the way you were saying, with the "Cassie Sandwich," joke in Ruin (about Cassie almost being crushed between a wall and an elevator), which in itself is referencing the "Jill Sandwich" line from Resident Evil.
What if the reason the Vengeful Spirit can't move on in UCN is some kind of consequence of glitching too deep in FNAF World? In a way, they sacrificed their own happiness to make sure one of the other victims got theirs, and now all that's left is their hate
This is a really satisfying way of tying Dave’s story together, great video! I think the only thing I'm wondering is when the fear experiments would have taken place, and why Afton would have wanted to do it to his own son, but I’m sure there’s an answer out there somewhere lol 2:12 FOXY.EXE MENTION YEAAAAA :D
This video is now my canon, bravo!, i cannot belive how well this actually fits with everything, it just makes so much sense, plz don’t ever quit making videos,
@@CandiBuunny if u need a good theory video idea in the future, could always do a debate video on if stichline games is canon or not because of the into the pit game, I personally believe that the into the pit game and all the fazbear frights books are in universe products that fazbear used to help cover up the rumors leading up to help wanted, which is how certain characters later on end up on security breach arcades, that’s my opinion tho, would love to hear your thoughts on all of it!
hehe i agree with you fully! Im not sure if you mentioned this cause i listen to these theories in the background while doing stuff but on the vengeful spirit drowning themself to find the good memory - i remember seeing a ryetoast video where they bring up loads of recent drowning symbolism around golden freddy [like the AR skin, the garggled voice of nightmare fredbear or someone i think in UCN and something in secrets of the mimic's teasers sorrt for my bad memory hehe] and i feel like those could all contribute to the idea that the vengeful spirit is the fnaf world player given everything you said! Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are quickly becoming my favorite theorist. Up there with NotRealName NotAtAll and IDs Fantasy. You have quality and fresh takes and present them with such enthusiasm and passion it’s hard not to be convinced. Plus seeing sploffer representation in the theory community is great. I think your take on fnaf world is very convincing! I think it’s important to understand that the game being played is from the perspective of the vengeful spirit and that it’s a way of bridging the spirit and real world for Dave and Mike. I like the idea of needing a happy day and using the scene after the red lake for that. The only thing I’m not convinced on is that it takes place in the mind of Dave, even if the map looks like a brain! Anyways. Good work and I’m excited to see your other theories!
I think that's the most (and only) satisfying take on FNaF 4 I've heard that featured Mike as the protagonist. Using the movie as a reading guide (which according to Matthew Lillard is basically the point of the movie) connection to his lost brother and being able to dreamscape is basically Mike's motivation for spending Five Nights at Freddy's AT ALL.
Here's my take. William had three children(Michael, Elisabeth and Dave). Elisabeth died around the age 5-6 years old, becoming Circus Baby. After Elisabeth's death, William grew fearful, his golden child, the perfect son Dave would die, he feared Dave would do his sister's mistake. So William in his own twisted loving way, began creating the nightmares, to ensure Dave wouldn't go near the animatronics. But the nightmares made Dave fearful and traumatized him, and Michael feeling ignored began seeking his father's attention. So he bullied his brother, knowing that crybaby would tell daddy, meaning Michael got his father's attention. One day Michael went too far, it was his brother's birthday and William was busy, so Michael was left to look after Dave. Michael was infuriated by this, he would rather hang out with his friends, he didn't want to look out for that crybaby. So Michael deviced a plan, he would go to Fazbear's Diner, with his brother, so he could be with his buddies. As they arrived, Dave was crying and screaming, because he didn't want to be near his nightmares. But this just made Michael and his friends, torment him, by deciding he should kiss Fredbear. Dave died that day, because his bullies took him too close. After Dave's death his soul was spread across the pizzaria, including into Fredbear(later known as Golden Freddy), his soul torn and he began haunting a bit of everything. Michael in the meanwhile, didn't simply get away with juvenile. His father was furious over the golden son's death, so he chose to torture Michael, by modifying the fear experiment(this is FNAF 4), making him see not only horrorfying monsters. But he was also forced to sleep in his dead brother's bedroom, which had things like medical gear put in it, to remind Michael of what he did. As the years pass by and kids disappear, we reach 1987. It's the day DCI take place. This day a girl is lured into the backrooms and stuffed into Golden Freddy, getting springlocked to death. Cassidy's soul posses Golden Freddy and she's not alone, there's another, a crying boy. She ask for his name, he don't remember, she ask him questions about his life and he answer the best he can. He remember a toy, a brother, and a few other tiny details, but he don't know his dead and he doesn't know why, but for some reason he's scared. Cassidy and Dave quickly form a friendship, with Cassidy being a sort of protective sister to Dave. It's the 7th night, the toys have been ruled for termination. But this night someone new has shown up, the last few days William have had strange dreams and he feel a connection to the pizzaria, so he goes there as a nightguard, and for some reason the animatronics are aggressive, they know he killed them and want revenge. So he does the only logical thing. He tear them apart, one by one, they die again. And Cassidy being beyond the suit, because her spirit wasn't torn apart, leaves Golden Freddy uniting the others with her. The spirits hunt down William and he runs into the backroom, putting on Springtrap. But Cassidy recognise him and release the springlock mecanism. But William doesn't die, he continue to suffer in that suit for 35 years. 5 years has passed and while Michael have had quite the reunion with his sister. Cassidy has been busy, helping the puppet gather and put the souls back together. And this is when FNAF 1 takes place, Michael is hunting down the animatronics to bring them peace and have gotten the nightguard job in Freddy's pizza place. The first 6 nights he study them and learns the horrorfying truth is among them, because Cassidy begins communicating with Michael. And on the 7th night Michael destroyes the animatronics to free them, burning down the pizzaria. But three souls can't find peace. The next 30 years Michael is on the hunt for his father, it's time to end this, by killing the monster behind the slaughter. And that's when a set of visions, tell him to get a job at Fazbear's Fright. The first night everything seem normal and nothing really happens, except he can sense Cassidy and Charlie(the Puppet) is present. Because Cassidy and Charlie are busy making the final arrangement to bring the last soul peace, it's time for Dave to join the others. The next few nights while they set up the rest, with the help of the shadows of their souls, Michael has a confrontation with his father. Eventually it's night 4 and it's time to get the final piece to Dave's peace, Michael, so Charlie show herself to Michael and guide him to help Dave find peace. It's a long journey as Cassidy travel into Dave's soul, looking for that one good memory, but with the help of Charlie and Michael, they succeed, finding a memory from before Elisabeth's death, before any of this happened and Dave finally find peace. Cassidy, Michael and Charlie after saving Dave goes each their own way. As Cassidy keep an eye on William waiting for him to die. Charlie loses her purpous and eventually gets kidnapped by her father. And Michael he goes on the hunt for the Ennard, thinking he killed William. One day they will reunite, but for now years will pass by, as Henry slowly realise the truth of what happened. This is of course just my conclusion, I don't claim to know anything. This is purely built on realistic theories I've heard, with strong evidence, according TO ME. Anyways thanks for reading and have a great day everyone.
That "I predicted that a year ago" bit from gravity falls has lived rent free in my brain since the episode first aired, so appreciate its inclusion here
You always come in clutch with your uploads whenever I need to either take a seemingly long trips or have to do a something where I can just play and listen to your videos and keep me entertained. Thank you
I really like this video and the idea of jerabudinka falafel possessing the fnaf location instead of what is usually commonly accepted as him also possessing golden Freddy
I like to believe Dave is vengeful on Michael and making him experience the nightmares, downright getting involved in hunting Mike as nightmare fredbear or nightmare or both.
Further supported by in the story (dittophobia), rory is being haunted by only the 4 nightmares meaning the experiment only included n.freddy,bonnie,Chica and foxy, nightmare fredbear and nightmare are entirely new special to Michael , we could say nightmare fredbear is a creation of Michael's own imagination but then why would nightmare exist, why would Michael fear anything more than the machine his brother died in, that's where I believe dave is involved he is Nightmare that's the only explanation I can think of to nightmare beeing translucent and having a brain
Idk for some reason, even after what happened, I just always felt like Dave was the kind of person that wouldn’t hate Mike for it, at least not to the point of trying to kill him. He did at least hear the apology. I admit though that really could just be influence from that DAgames song back in the day that’s a duet with Mike and CC. Man that thing aged well with further story.😅 Either way, it seems like he may have changed his mind after the logbook I think? Or maybe World came first? 🤔
@thepixelman4776 well at some point up until fnaf 1 cc is confirmed to be aggressive in "the week before" he kills phone guy himself (in one of the possinle endings) so he's definitely mad, also by being nightmare he's not killing Michael just torturing him when he's asleep alongside the other nightmares making Michael experience the horrible life Dave had when he was alive
Oooo I never considered that cc is haunting the building and things inside said building. I like it. It makes it so the vengeful spirit can be in golden freddy without having to go the 2 spirit route (because I have personally never liked that theory) Also the sonic fandub reference had me laughing my ass off. I love that sound bite soooo much
Girl idk how this isn’t your full time job yet you put in 2000% into every single video. You are so smart and so funny, these videos are fantastic and I hope you can continue making these I highly enjoy them. I’m sure I’m not the only one who believes this when I say you belong with the popular kids
Seeing a Fnaf theorist with such credible sources, accurate information, and a well-rounded, un-biased attitude is so refreshing for a community that has spent a lot of it's time in speculative territory. I've already subscribed and am binge watching these videos, and MAN does the quality of each and every video show, the editing, the scripting, the visuals and clips and references- truly, every video is a joy to watch. keep up the great work Candi!
Unfortunately, I don't think the happy ending of 3 is canon, so there's a possibility Sobbing Subteen is still out there. Shattered across who knows what sort of ancient memorabilia, structures or - by the time of Security Breach, buildings on top of older buildings with the ghosts of decades intermingling together like a sea of the lost and damned. And if the spirit can linger even as objects suffer the affects of Weathering, then maybe even the soil that the paper plates and bloody floor tiles become carry Little Guy's essence into the earth of Hurricane, Utah itself. And the further he spreads across possibly the entire city like Silent Hill, the more fragmented his thoughts and memories could become.
I always love seeing the variety of FNaF Theorists that have been gaining popularity more recently like RyeToast, Fuhnaff, IDsFantasy, HyperDroid, and now you! I’m excited to see what you have in store, all of your theories have been super solid so far :D
5:46 You can see browser tabs! In the spirit of fnaf, lets do some theorizing: When reading off the script and recording the audio, you also recorded the video too. So your audio came with the visuals of the script google doc you were reading off while recording the audio. When doing a "zooming out" effect on the fnaf 4 IV drip image, your actually just shrinking the image. But The image was shrunken too much, revealing the visuals of voice recording, the google doc (and the browser bar obviously). The only hole in this theory is, why in the world would you keep that video clip on the timeline through the entire editing prosses? The video and audio were linked, but you know you can unlink them and delete them individually, right? D: tell me if im wrong btw!
This was some true sleuthing! And you’re absolutely right I record my whole browser on my Google doc as I read my script. I keep them linked through the editing so that I can quickly find a section if I need to skip around by seeing what page I’m on in the script! I can’t believe I missed this on my final watch through but I was pretty rushed towards the end! I pass my detective hat off to you
I agree with almost all of this tbh, connects very well to shatter victim too which as a theory is just becoming more and more convincing to me. Dave being put through the fear experiments and knowing the nightmare animatronics might also be further evidence to “do you still have dreams” being answered by “I’m scared” (if that even still needs proof lol), since he recognises the animatronic Mike drew on that page from them. Would make sense for him to get scared seeing the things that traumatised him.
I jave a theory on how the big retcon from fnaf 4 is abt the box being the memories of CC and in fnaf 3 instead of the good ending aka happiest day happening its the bad ending. Because like what rye toast says mike cant do nothing right 😂. So instead he burns the whole place down as a last resort. But fails. Somethings are best left forgotten.
I watched The Unwithered Truth video prior to watching this and I swear every obscure video being done by other youtubers like hyperdroid's video are just following what I watched.
Each character in FNAF has a sort of vengeance. Most characters are vengeful towards William, while Dave is either vengeful towards Michael or vengeful towards both William and Michael. Does Dave know that the Psychic Friend Fredbear(s) are just nannycams/daddycams? Maybe. I never really liked how people call PFF as if its just 1 plush, when really its multiple plushies scattered around the Afton household and neighbourhood. The Week Before suggests that Dave is either possessing Golden Freddy or is at least possessing the top half, which contradicts him saying "I cant see" in the logbook, which might not even be related to how he and Cassidy might possess Golden Freddy. What if the possession of Golden Freddy between David and Cassidy is actually more like Octodad co-op mode instead of how it is in the Stitchwraith Stingers? "I cant see" may be referring to how Dave cant see while haunting/interacting with the logbook. Maybe Dave got stuffed inside Golden Freddy/Fredbear by William back in 1983 in an attempt to somehow bring him back to life and continue using him for his bidding. I imagine Dave was a Daddy's Boy considering how he obeys William in FNAF 4, which could make make him Williams "favorite" child, or at least his "favorite" son (which he most likely was) Another thing about Golden Freddy in The Week Before: He seems to harbour the souls of multiple people (adults) including Bronwen. My theory as to why he, or she, or they do this is because they might know about agony, or at least know how to gain paranormal powers. Remnant is permanent, Agony is temporary, Agony runs out.
You are genuinely my new favourite fnaf theorist, you are so well spoken and make every video a truly enjoyable experience, you are a blessing to the theorist community
Your theory is really good and i like it a lot! I really love your enthusiasm about it :D I just found your channel an now i have to bingewatch all your old Videos
definitely want to parrot a sentiment I saw in another comment, but this is unbelievably quality theorizing you've been putting on display. i'm intending to create my own channel here soon, and this is exactly the quality control i'd want for my theories and video structuring!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I have learned a lot myself from watching how other theorists do their footage/sound effects/transitions/scripting. I hope you start your channel and really enjoy the process!
i wish i had something more thoughtful to say than "this is such a cool theory", but man. this is such a cool theory. it's satisfying from a narrative perspective AND has evidence to back it up. always look forward to a new upload from you.
Actually amazing video and I loves the jokes, can't wait for more!! The only thing that doesn't sit right with me as it is now is the masks in the Happiest Day scene. There's some confusion for me about why Dave would get that (Golden Freddy?) mask in the end. I'm sitting on this comment and I have a lot of ideas about this because of you mentioning Dave might haunt the buildings, but Im curious to see where you take this
Even if Dave doesn't possess Golden Freddy the animatronic, he's still very thematically tied to the character because it's his Plushie-Best-Imaginary-Nannycam-Friend and because it's the animatronic that bit him
Huh... I wasn't expecting a video on a series about murderous robot animals and child murder to give me comfort, but the story you've told of moving on and finding peace managed it.
This theory's characterization of the VS also makes sense for UCN, bc you make VS to be more dutiful rather than emotional, they stay behind to torture afton not bc they're salty abt their death, but as justicd for CC, their close friend, "the one you shouldn't have killed" is VS recognizing their own competence in soul-mind manipulating rather than just being upset, they were after all the key to springlocking William, setting up Michael in Frights, the VS is just an unusually capable ghost.
I think you should consider combining this with shatter victim theory as well. The books also introduce the concept that in order for a sole to rest, you need to “put together” the objects the soul haunt. Its easier for the other souls since they haunt their respective animatronics, but the crying child
Haunts an entire pizzeria. So basicly im proposing that in order for a sole to rest, you need two things: the sole to be in a happy memory, and the objects it haunts to be put together. I believe you absolutely nailed down the story line, but in the end of Fnaf world, the puppet guides mike how to “put together” Dave’s objects.
Ooohhh woah hold up that works really really well.
@@CandiBuunny also a detail you forgot to mention out, the reason Cassidy can communicate with Dave better and enter his mind is because Cassidy haunts golden Freddy and Dave probably has a part of him inside golden Freddy (his head to be more accurate lol)
This idea is further supported by the puppet saying that the “*pieces* are in place” for Dave to rest, which hints that she had to orchestrate multiple things in order for Dave to rest.
The only thing I truly don’t get is why is the puppet being represented by the Freddy plush…
@@fashvr9961if you mean the glitched Fredbear, I think it’s just she’s not actually in Dave’s mind and is basically hacking into the “game” and Fredbear being the guide for the player on their “adventure” meant they’d be talking with him a lot, so he was the best way to communicate with Cassidy.
@@thepixelman4776 actually now when thinking about it. In fnaf 4 through the intire game the person speaking to Dave through fredbear (probably William) had a yellow text, but in the last scene, the text shifted to a brighter yellow, indicating that a new character is talking through fredbear. Further supporting the idea that the I will put you back together is being said by someone else, the puppet
"Pranking him so hard he died" was a truly poetic way to put the bite

Lmfao.
It's absolutely my headcanon that the crying child's name is Jerrabedinkafalafel now, I'm convinced.
3:36 finally some jerubadinka falafel represent!!!! Ive been calling him this forever!!!
jerubadinka falafel just makes the most thematic sense with the story we currently have
You see if you just put whatever letters you want into the Foxy grid and then pick every third letter then write them BACKWARDS it spells out jerubadinka!!! And falafel logically follows of course
@@CandiBuunny I wonder if that is actually what happens.
I'm thinking this more and more each video of yours I watch: honestly, you have what it takes to become one of the next big FNAF theorists, like Fuhnaff, Ryetoast, ID's Fantasy, etc. The research, editing, writing and voiceover are immaculate, and your theories are insanely good. All you need now is growing recognition, and I'm sure it's on its way!
Thank you! This is so kind! Of course growth is awesome but I am SO happy with the views I'm getting right now! I never imagined I'd be this big after only 15 videos!
YEAH!!! No I totally agree these people are sleeping on Candi!!! So smart so funny
My thoughts exactly!
The crying child is the friends we made along the way
3:22 i love that in the spiff gameplay, one of the messages you can see in chat is "i think i lost my balls"
Gotta love out of context Spiff chat messages.

This just makes me picture the vengeful spirit standing at the edge of the lake, flipping OMC the middle finger, and diving backwards into the lake
I don’t remember where I first saw the theory, but something that fits neatly here is that the Fredbear plush is Cassidy. Not as in they posses it, but that it’s a representation of them observing Dave’s memories spiritually pre-happiest day.
I wholeheartedly agree with this, though I think the recurrent crying that comes along with Golden Freddy in The Week Before and the Happiest Day kid wearing a Golden Freddy mask suggest that Dave is certainly a possessor of Golden Freddy alongside his agony haunting the Fazbear locations
I agree, he died in that animatronic so it makes a lot of sense a part of him will be in golden Freddy, matches with the shatter victim theory
Very good point!
Between HyperDroid figuring Dave's name and you figuring out the full story of FNAF world (and it's strangest ending) I think this year has been full of justice for CC and his story
I once heard the theory that OMC is supposed to be Mike and while I don't think that theory applies past the first arc, i think it's an interesting angle for Fnaf World in that the last obstacle to Dave's happiest memory is the Mike he keeps in his mind. Maybe he victim blamed Dave when he was bullying him so Mike became associated with "consequences" and it feels right that the last thing Cassidy has to do is say "f*ck you" to Mike and dive in. On some level, someone needed to stand up for the crying child even as Mike regrets what he did so disobeying the Mike of Dave's mind is a neat idea to me. (I think RyeToast did a video on that interpretation of OMCif you're curious)
Thank you for the video and looking forward to more of your work
People pointed out in the last Happiest Day video that if OMC is Mike, it's really cool that he's fishing in the lake the memory is in, seemingly trying himself
the fnaf lore is a lot about parallels, this at some point made me think of how much Cassie cares about Gregory (who lets be honest is sooo cc coated )
lol i posted this and then you explained the falling part and like theirs another instance of someone falling with no end and assuming frebby Greg and Vanessa are together the happy end is there too. but its 2.22 am i might just be delulu
Also not to mention how many time Cassie just randomly falls in Ruin lol
Wowza thanks for the shoutout!! I had already written a reference to one of your vids in my new Sister Location video, but now I feel like I'm a copycat 😂.
Really liked this video - I always enjoy trying to figure out what the hell Dave is up to in any of the games.
But that all being said... I can't believe you beat me to my Jarebedinkafalafel CC name reveal video. Smh
I'm SO EXCITED FOR YOU NEXT VID the QUALITY EDITING oh my gosh
We need the science behind how he's always crying, surely he'd run out of the materials for tears eventually
You got me on a google rabbit hole. Apparently the average person makes 15-30 gallons of tears a YEAR?? But some of them are the tears that keep your eyes lubricated that we don't think of as tears and some of them are the tears that come when you have an irritant in your eye. And you make less as you age. Wack.
@@CandiBuunny He's crying because he misses his sister or something, Elizabeth might have been the only person who truly brought joy to David during his 7 years of being Human.
The longer I look at Crying Child's haircut the more I question if the Mimic is Wiliams first attempt at trying to bring back his son, and his agony is the key to everything happening in the series kicking off.
Can't believe I found another person who thinks the same thing. Thanks to John Fuhnaff revealing that the Steel Wool era of FNAF has been taking heavy inspiration from the Silver Eyes trilogy, I wonder if the Mimic was to William for his dead son as Circus Baby (before being taken by Afton) was to Henry for his dead daughter.
Not impossible, but if SOTM does take place in 1979, then the mimic should predate Dave’s death and I assume would have some agony already . He could’ve retroactively attempted to make him into that though; I’ve thrown around the idea that he did the same with Baby and Henry partly or entirely built her.
hi again!! incredible video, as always! i recently found a reddit post talking about how Fredbear’s song “The Secret Ingredient Is You,” as named in The Week Before, could be a hint telling us that the crying child is the cakes in the happiest day minigames, which while i dont get the original reasoning, i made my own, being that after the vengeful spirit found cc’s happiest memory, cc went to each of the mci kids and gave them their own happiest day, since he finally knew how. it kinda relies on believing in shattervictim and that the vengeful spirit isnt the spirit inside golden freddy, but i follow both of those currently so ive no qualms with it. keep up the awesome work!!
That is such a sweet theory! My first reaction to the song name was thinking of it more like the recipe for immortality/possession. The secret ingredient is the soul of a victim to make remnant sort of?
love this theory honestly, lots of moving parts but it's very satisfying, and makes great use of that fnaf world screen (where they're at the tv) since it's been so confusing for the longest time, i remember people debating whether it was people or an angel with wings lmao
I asked a non-fnaf friend what it looked like and they said "hmm three grey lumps in front of a colorful box" and I was like dang it they're right
I like the way you've presented this. A lot of people have been commenting on FNAF World and Dave's subconscious being healed. I would like to think that the Vengeful Spirit is trying to help Dave, but I think it's only adding to the fuel that VS has for Afton. And that the VS cannot fully avenge themselves and the others, Dave included, if Dave is holding him back from it. Despite what happened in Dave's life, he still loves his father. It's possible Dave may have thought William's spring locking was enough punishment. But the VS didn't see it that way. And every time the VS attempts to punish William, Dave prevents them from doing it. So the VS decides that they have to free themselves from yet another Afton. Because as long as Dave is in there, there is no retribution. So he goes and tries to set Dave free. And once the VS does this, there's nothing holding it back from carrying out it's punishment on William completely.
I like this more nuanced reading of the VS - they have compassion for the other spirits but their ultimate motivation is revenge
Amazing theory. First crying child narrative I've heard that seems really convincing, and from the only fnaf-tuber who has me laughing out loud multiple times per video. Can't wait for that next one. I'm sure I'll find something to disagree with in it.
Aww thank you 😊
3:52 hey Spigg! I shall commence the :plink: vasion.
plinK!!!
plink
Plink
maybe Afton is the mustard man in the side game, cause the Spring Bonnie is yellow! So hes Afton as purple and Spring Bonnie as yellow?
I’ve always liked (in a tragic way) that unlike the other spirits, Dave isn’t vengeful and doesn’t seem to really attack us in any way (at least I like to think). In fact, he doesn’t have any goal at all; he doesn’t know how to move on and is helplessly stuck roaming the place he hates (either by GoldenDuo wheres he’s blind and can’t move or your theory that he’s in the pizzerias sometimes moving things).
This is kinda what I always figured was the reason he seemed to disappear as the series went on. Sad thing is, he didn’t have many friends, seemingly little family (and even then they all disappear too), and him being killed on accident by bullies, he wouldn’t be held in the same regard as the MCI kids. Even on a meta level we just learned his name. Granted, that’s also kinda a mercy since that means he doesn’t become a killer robot ghost bear and he gets to move on without being set on fire.
Idk if I had a point, less a theory and more why how I’ve thought of CC as a character and why he seems to disappear from the narrative. Great video as usual.👍
I love this video so much! David deserves his own videos like these and I'm all here for it! I'm so glad you brought up how Michael never hated David because its true, he never did! I know I left a long comment on your FNAF world video discussing this and other things regarding the brothers, but it feels really nice having more people understand that Michael nor David never hated each other, despite what happened with them back in 1983. Family is powerful and FNAF shows that beautifully with the Afton children. Despite William being a horrible person and father, the siblings had each other and their bond stayed strong until FNAF 6. Michael not only worked for every Freddy's location to atone for what he did to David and save him from his agony, but he did the same for Elizabeth. It makes sense to me that Mike would go down to the bunker on his own free will, even if William told him to. He got himself scooped on purpose because he knew it would help put Elizabeth back together, to free her.
Michael has been shown to do absolutely anything for his loved ones, his younger siblings. I do believe part of him still loves his father, but only because they're father and son, nothing else. Michael did what William never could, free those trapped in a limbo of agony, intentional or not. It was intentional for him to free Elizabeth and David, but not the other kids. I like this since it shows Mike has his flaws with thinking and his obsession was only focused on atoning for his mistakes as a teenager to his younger siblings, particularly David. Even so, Michael isn't a bad person, far from it. If he truly hated Dave and Elizabeth, he wouldn't actively seek them when working at Freddy's and going down to the bunker of hell his father left for him. The narrative of FNAF 1-6 and FNAF world is truly one of my favorites in all of gaming and I'm glad you covered it with how David fits into each game. I agree he possesses the buildings and not any object in particular; it was his agony and memories that possessed the very hell he went through everyday.
Lastly, I know I said this before, but the fact David's happiest memory is him spending quality time with Mike and Elizabeth says everything. It touches my heart every time and it shows how much he loves and cares about his siblings. He never hated Michael for what he did to him, of course it was painful and he felt betrayed at the time, but he learned to forgive and accept the happy memories he had with him. Its so powerful; I love it so much.
Oh man I love the parallel of Mike sacrificing himself and letting himself get scooped to save those with soul, likely thinking it would kill him compared to his cowardly father getting springlocked in an attempt to save himself from the spirits. Love the Mike appreciation post!
@@CandiBuunny thank you so much!!! I appreciate you reading!
If Cassidy really is the fnaf world player then it is really interesting the lengths they went through to let Dave rest, while taking the decision never to rest themselves and instead haunt Afton for eternity. Maybe helping Dave only made their hate stronger.
My main problem with the Happiest Day minigame is we only see the 4 MCI kids presumably (I mean, I guess they could technically be the bullies if you really wanted to go there), Charlotte, 5 unknowns in the back who we don't see pass on (DCI?), and Dave himself. Cassidy isn't there and that always annoyed me. Same goes for Micheal and Elizabeth to a degree. Is Dave representing both of them as Golden Freddy?
And if Dave doesn't process Golden Freddy way is he depicted as Golden Freddy? Could this actually be Cassidys' Happiest Day? But no this is Daves Happiest Day as the minigame is a mirror to FNAF 4 day time minigames. But if that is Dave's Happiest Day then what is the Happiest Day we see in FNAF World?
I agree that Dave haunted the places because his agony was all over the place and in every item, and Garrett does the same thing in the movie.
But I think he was in Sister Location, or at least in the schematics for Funtime Freddy, not sure if his corpse was still inside of Freddy at the time the game took place.
Also I don't think Afton experimented on Dave, the experiments started after Dave died. Much like in the books, remnant/agony powers the animatronics and gives them "life", so he needed constant supply of agony to keep Freddy and later Baby "alive".
Great Video though, subbed :)
Thank you!! (For subbing and your thoughts!)
Your explanation of FNAF 4’s gameplay makes the Nightmare Fredbear drawing the logbook make so much sense. It explains why Mike would have seen it AND why he would’ve felt compelled to draw it on that page. It just feels so right.
Thinking of CC being dragged around to differnet fazbear locations just reminds me of the “IM BACK IN THE F***KING BUILDING AGAIN” bit from snapcube 😭
13:22 i am a simple girl. i hear the snapcube sonic fandub, i subscribe (also your theories are genuinely so intriguing keep up the good work!!!)
Now i don't mean to toot my own horn buuuut... Hearing you talk about how the puppet could assume the form of glitched fredbear cus the puppet has more weird supernatural knowledge makes me feel like i actually helped with the theory haha. Also! I adore this video :)
My theory is that Dave is kinda haunting Mike. So the nighttime game play are Mike’s nightmares that Dave is causing.
jerubadinka falafel caught me of guard💀
Back for a re-watch, and I gotta say I love the "Save Dave Trio" as a thing
After watching this, my cat will forever be nicknamed "Jerebedinka falafel"
This is one of the best theory’s I’ve seen about FNAF world and just CC’s story in a bit! I can’t believe I haven’t found your channel sooner
Wholly unrelated to the actually theory but at 13:54 FNaF, funnily enough, actually has an instance of calling something a "____ Sandwich" in the way you were saying, with the "Cassie Sandwich," joke in Ruin (about Cassie almost being crushed between a wall and an elevator), which in itself is referencing the "Jill Sandwich" line from Resident Evil.
Vengeful Spirit helps Crying Child rest their soul but not their own.
Bro needs to help themselves too...
C.C. haunting the building itself just pushes us toward all locations being built in the same place and I quite like that.
u always r dropping thw most bombshell theories that somehow makes so much sense this is kind of canon to me now wait
What if the reason the Vengeful Spirit can't move on in UCN is some kind of consequence of glitching too deep in FNAF World? In a way, they sacrificed their own happiness to make sure one of the other victims got theirs, and now all that's left is their hate
"c.c stands for crying child and now case closed"
Coolest sentence ever from a fnaf theory
😎
25:12 nightmare freddy my favorite himbo
Since he has no confirmed name, I've been calling him Cliffton for years.
(And all my friends hate it)
This is a really satisfying way of tying Dave’s story together, great video! I think the only thing I'm wondering is when the fear experiments would have taken place, and why Afton would have wanted to do it to his own son, but I’m sure there’s an answer out there somewhere lol
2:12 FOXY.EXE MENTION YEAAAAA :D
Ruin feels sort of like an expansion pack, like in the old days. It's pretty hefty for a modern DLC.
This video is now my canon, bravo!, i cannot belive how well this actually fits with everything, it just makes so much sense, plz don’t ever quit making videos,
Thank you!! So glad you liked it!! 😊
@@CandiBuunny if u need a good theory video idea in the future, could always do a debate video on if stichline games is canon or not because of the into the pit game, I personally believe that the into the pit game and all the fazbear frights books are in universe products that fazbear used to help cover up the rumors leading up to help wanted, which is how certain characters later on end up on security breach arcades, that’s my opinion tho, would love to hear your thoughts on all of it!
You have got to be one of the best and most comprehensive fnaf theorists
"i will put you back together".
And he did.
11:22 He’s in the walls… he’s in the fucking walls!!!
hehe i agree with you fully! Im not sure if you mentioned this cause i listen to these theories in the background while doing stuff but on the vengeful spirit drowning themself to find the good memory - i remember seeing a ryetoast video where they bring up loads of recent drowning symbolism around golden freddy [like the AR skin, the garggled voice of nightmare fredbear or someone i think in UCN and something in secrets of the mimic's teasers sorrt for my bad memory hehe] and i feel like those could all contribute to the idea that the vengeful spirit is the fnaf world player given everything you said! Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
candi bunny my beloved
13:23 did a double take when I heard this reference lol. Also…THE MIMIIIIC
THE MIMIIIC!!
Imagine if Fnaf world is Dave's magicant like in Earthbound Magicant is Ness's mind and has people he met through his life
You are quickly becoming my favorite theorist. Up there with NotRealName NotAtAll and IDs Fantasy. You have quality and fresh takes and present them with such enthusiasm and passion it’s hard not to be convinced. Plus seeing sploffer representation in the theory community is great.
I think your take on fnaf world is very convincing! I think it’s important to understand that the game being played is from the perspective of the vengeful spirit and that it’s a way of bridging the spirit and real world for Dave and Mike. I like the idea of needing a happy day and using the scene after the red lake for that. The only thing I’m not convinced on is that it takes place in the mind of Dave, even if the map looks like a brain! Anyways. Good work and I’m excited to see your other theories!
Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying and thank you for the encouragement!!
I am LOVING this recent wave of fnaf videos that I've been seeing on my home page and you, my friend, have now piqued my interest
I think that's the most (and only) satisfying take on FNaF 4 I've heard that featured Mike as the protagonist.
Using the movie as a reading guide (which according to Matthew Lillard is basically the point of the movie) connection to his lost brother and being able to dreamscape is basically Mike's motivation for spending Five Nights at Freddy's AT ALL.
Here's my take.
William had three children(Michael, Elisabeth and Dave). Elisabeth died around the age 5-6 years old, becoming Circus Baby. After Elisabeth's death, William grew fearful, his golden child, the perfect son Dave would die, he feared Dave would do his sister's mistake. So William in his own twisted loving way, began creating the nightmares, to ensure Dave wouldn't go near the animatronics. But the nightmares made Dave fearful and traumatized him, and Michael feeling ignored began seeking his father's attention. So he bullied his brother, knowing that crybaby would tell daddy, meaning Michael got his father's attention. One day Michael went too far, it was his brother's birthday and William was busy, so Michael was left to look after Dave. Michael was infuriated by this, he would rather hang out with his friends, he didn't want to look out for that crybaby. So Michael deviced a plan, he would go to Fazbear's Diner, with his brother, so he could be with his buddies. As they arrived, Dave was crying and screaming, because he didn't want to be near his nightmares. But this just made Michael and his friends, torment him, by deciding he should kiss Fredbear. Dave died that day, because his bullies took him too close.
After Dave's death his soul was spread across the pizzaria, including into Fredbear(later known as Golden Freddy), his soul torn and he began haunting a bit of everything. Michael in the meanwhile, didn't simply get away with juvenile. His father was furious over the golden son's death, so he chose to torture Michael, by modifying the fear experiment(this is FNAF 4), making him see not only horrorfying monsters. But he was also forced to sleep in his dead brother's bedroom, which had things like medical gear put in it, to remind Michael of what he did. As the years pass by and kids disappear, we reach 1987.
It's the day DCI take place. This day a girl is lured into the backrooms and stuffed into Golden Freddy, getting springlocked to death. Cassidy's soul posses Golden Freddy and she's not alone, there's another, a crying boy. She ask for his name, he don't remember, she ask him questions about his life and he answer the best he can. He remember a toy, a brother, and a few other tiny details, but he don't know his dead and he doesn't know why, but for some reason he's scared. Cassidy and Dave quickly form a friendship, with Cassidy being a sort of protective sister to Dave.
It's the 7th night, the toys have been ruled for termination. But this night someone new has shown up, the last few days William have had strange dreams and he feel a connection to the pizzaria, so he goes there as a nightguard, and for some reason the animatronics are aggressive, they know he killed them and want revenge. So he does the only logical thing. He tear them apart, one by one, they die again. And Cassidy being beyond the suit, because her spirit wasn't torn apart, leaves Golden Freddy uniting the others with her. The spirits hunt down William and he runs into the backroom, putting on Springtrap. But Cassidy recognise him and release the springlock mecanism. But William doesn't die, he continue to suffer in that suit for 35 years.
5 years has passed and while Michael have had quite the reunion with his sister. Cassidy has been busy, helping the puppet gather and put the souls back together. And this is when FNAF 1 takes place, Michael is hunting down the animatronics to bring them peace and have gotten the nightguard job in Freddy's pizza place. The first 6 nights he study them and learns the horrorfying truth is among them, because Cassidy begins communicating with Michael. And on the 7th night Michael destroyes the animatronics to free them, burning down the pizzaria. But three souls can't find peace.
The next 30 years Michael is on the hunt for his father, it's time to end this, by killing the monster behind the slaughter. And that's when a set of visions, tell him to get a job at Fazbear's Fright. The first night everything seem normal and nothing really happens, except he can sense Cassidy and Charlie(the Puppet) is present. Because Cassidy and Charlie are busy making the final arrangement to bring the last soul peace, it's time for Dave to join the others. The next few nights while they set up the rest, with the help of the shadows of their souls, Michael has a confrontation with his father. Eventually it's night 4 and it's time to get the final piece to Dave's peace, Michael, so Charlie show herself to Michael and guide him to help Dave find peace. It's a long journey as Cassidy travel into Dave's soul, looking for that one good memory, but with the help of Charlie and Michael, they succeed, finding a memory from before Elisabeth's death, before any of this happened and Dave finally find peace.
Cassidy, Michael and Charlie after saving Dave goes each their own way. As Cassidy keep an eye on William waiting for him to die. Charlie loses her purpous and eventually gets kidnapped by her father. And Michael he goes on the hunt for the Ennard, thinking he killed William. One day they will reunite, but for now years will pass by, as Henry slowly realise the truth of what happened.
This is of course just my conclusion, I don't claim to know anything. This is purely built on realistic theories I've heard, with strong evidence, according TO ME.
Anyways thanks for reading and have a great day everyone.
This was a wonderful read! I love the whole story. It's got evidence. It's got narrative. It's got style
That "I predicted that a year ago" bit from gravity falls has lived rent free in my brain since the episode first aired, so appreciate its inclusion here
You always come in clutch with your uploads whenever I need to either take a seemingly long trips or have to do a something where I can just play and listen to your videos and keep me entertained. Thank you
13:20 This is perhaps the hardest I've ever laughed to a fnaf theory video. Incredible.
fnaf world is a return to form for scott and one of his BEST rpg's, although The Desolate Hope is really good
I really like this video and the idea of jerabudinka falafel possessing the fnaf location instead of what is usually commonly accepted as him also possessing golden Freddy
YES CC = jerabudinka falafel is gaining traction!! If anyone uses this name in someone else's comments they're going to be SO confused
I like to believe Dave is vengeful on Michael and making him experience the nightmares, downright getting involved in hunting Mike as nightmare fredbear or nightmare or both.
I find it plausible
Ooo that is such a cool take!
Further supported by in the story (dittophobia), rory is being haunted by only the 4 nightmares meaning the experiment only included n.freddy,bonnie,Chica and foxy, nightmare fredbear and nightmare are entirely new special to Michael , we could say nightmare fredbear is a creation of Michael's own imagination but then why would nightmare exist, why would Michael fear anything more than the machine his brother died in, that's where I believe dave is involved he is Nightmare that's the only explanation I can think of to nightmare beeing translucent and having a brain
Idk for some reason, even after what happened, I just always felt like Dave was the kind of person that wouldn’t hate Mike for it, at least not to the point of trying to kill him. He did at least hear the apology.
I admit though that really could just be influence from that DAgames song back in the day that’s a duet with Mike and CC. Man that thing aged well with further story.😅
Either way, it seems like he may have changed his mind after the logbook I think? Or maybe World came first? 🤔
@thepixelman4776 well at some point up until fnaf 1 cc is confirmed to be aggressive in "the week before" he kills phone guy himself (in one of the possinle endings) so he's definitely mad, also by being nightmare he's not killing Michael just torturing him when he's asleep alongside the other nightmares making Michael experience the horrible life Dave had when he was alive
This made me cry... beautiful theory
Oooo I never considered that cc is haunting the building and things inside said building. I like it. It makes it so the vengeful spirit can be in golden freddy without having to go the 2 spirit route (because I have personally never liked that theory)
Also the sonic fandub reference had me laughing my ass off. I love that sound bite soooo much
Girl idk how this isn’t your full time job yet you put in 2000% into every single video. You are so smart and so funny, these videos are fantastic and I hope you can continue making these I highly enjoy them. I’m sure I’m not the only one who believes this when I say you belong with the popular kids
This was so kindly put thank you so much
@@CandiBuunny absolutely dude you deserve it and i genuinely mean every word
Seeing a Fnaf theorist with such credible sources, accurate information, and a well-rounded, un-biased attitude is so refreshing for a community that has spent a lot of it's time in speculative territory. I've already subscribed and am binge watching these videos, and MAN does the quality of each and every video show, the editing, the scripting, the visuals and clips and references- truly, every video is a joy to watch. keep up the great work Candi!
keep up the great work Candi!! you’re killing it 🩷
Unfortunately, I don't think the happy ending of 3 is canon, so there's a possibility Sobbing Subteen is still out there. Shattered across who knows what sort of ancient memorabilia, structures or - by the time of Security Breach, buildings on top of older buildings with the ghosts of decades intermingling together like a sea of the lost and damned. And if the spirit can linger even as objects suffer the affects of Weathering, then maybe even the soil that the paper plates and bloody floor tiles become carry Little Guy's essence into the earth of Hurricane, Utah itself. And the further he spreads across possibly the entire city like Silent Hill, the more fragmented his thoughts and memories could become.
Oh my gosh Sobbing Subteen LOL
totally not me crying over this
I always love seeing the variety of FNaF Theorists that have been gaining popularity more recently like RyeToast, Fuhnaff, IDsFantasy, HyperDroid, and now you! I’m excited to see what you have in store, all of your theories have been super solid so far :D
Can’t wait for felafel to catch on
Here's a wild idea but what if the crying child possesses Michael? Just a random thought.
5:46 You can see browser tabs! In the spirit of fnaf, lets do some theorizing: When reading off the script and recording the audio, you also recorded the video too. So your audio came with the visuals of the script google doc you were reading off while recording the audio. When doing a "zooming out" effect on the fnaf 4 IV drip image, your actually just shrinking the image. But The image was shrunken too much, revealing the visuals of voice recording, the google doc (and the browser bar obviously). The only hole in this theory is, why in the world would you keep that video clip on the timeline through the entire editing prosses? The video and audio were linked, but you know you can unlink them and delete them individually, right? D: tell me if im wrong btw!
This was some true sleuthing! And you’re absolutely right I record my whole browser on my Google doc as I read my script. I keep them linked through the editing so that I can quickly find a section if I need to skip around by seeing what page I’m on in the script! I can’t believe I missed this on my final watch through but I was pretty rushed towards the end! I pass my detective hat off to you
I knew I had to watch this when I noticed the carmen sandiago reference
I agree with almost all of this tbh, connects very well to shatter victim too which as a theory is just becoming more and more convincing to me.
Dave being put through the fear experiments and knowing the nightmare animatronics might also be further evidence to “do you still have dreams” being answered by “I’m scared” (if that even still needs proof lol), since he recognises the animatronic Mike drew on that page from them. Would make sense for him to get scared seeing the things that traumatised him.
I jave a theory on how the big retcon from fnaf 4 is abt the box being the memories of CC and in fnaf 3 instead of the good ending aka happiest day happening its the bad ending. Because like what rye toast says mike cant do nothing right 😂. So instead he burns the whole place down as a last resort. But fails. Somethings are best left forgotten.
I watched The Unwithered Truth video prior to watching this and I swear every obscure video being done by other youtubers like hyperdroid's video are just following what I watched.
Each character in FNAF has a sort of vengeance. Most characters are vengeful towards William, while Dave is either vengeful towards Michael or vengeful towards both William and Michael.
Does Dave know that the Psychic Friend Fredbear(s) are just nannycams/daddycams? Maybe.
I never really liked how people call PFF as if its just 1 plush, when really its multiple plushies scattered around the Afton household and neighbourhood.
The Week Before suggests that Dave is either possessing Golden Freddy or is at least possessing the top half, which contradicts him saying "I cant see" in the logbook, which might not even be related to how he and Cassidy might possess Golden Freddy.
What if the possession of Golden Freddy between David and Cassidy is actually more like Octodad co-op mode instead of how it is in the Stitchwraith Stingers? "I cant see" may be referring to how Dave cant see while haunting/interacting with the logbook.
Maybe Dave got stuffed inside Golden Freddy/Fredbear by William back in 1983 in an attempt to somehow bring him back to life and continue using him for his bidding. I imagine Dave was a Daddy's Boy considering how he obeys William in FNAF 4, which could make make him Williams "favorite" child, or at least his "favorite" son (which he most likely was)
Another thing about Golden Freddy in The Week Before: He seems to harbour the souls of multiple people (adults) including Bronwen. My theory as to why he, or she, or they do this is because they might know about agony, or at least know how to gain paranormal powers. Remnant is permanent, Agony is temporary, Agony runs out.
Great theory and I love the Octodad reference 😂
You are genuinely my new favourite fnaf theorist, you are so well spoken and make every video a truly enjoyable experience, you are a blessing to the theorist community
Oh my goodness thank you so much!! This is incredibly kind!!
- 🍬🍬🍬
its a holiday everytime you post i love you sm!!!!!!
Aaa I just found you channel and I love how happy you sound while talking about the theories!
Thank you!! 🍬🍬🍬
Your theory is really good and i like it a lot! I really love your enthusiasm about it :D
I just found your channel an now i have to bingewatch all your old Videos
Great job, nicely articulated n very well put together.
great video, very well written and a lot of great references lmao
Sarah 1 and Sarah 2 can be the bread, but the sandwich is named after me lol
for the first time fnaf would makes sense to me
My main takeaway is that “Jill Sandwich” from Resident Evil is the greatest joke ever told.
definitely want to parrot a sentiment I saw in another comment, but this is unbelievably quality theorizing you've been putting on display. i'm intending to create my own channel here soon, and this is exactly the quality control i'd want for my theories and video structuring!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I have learned a lot myself from watching how other theorists do their footage/sound effects/transitions/scripting. I hope you start your channel and really enjoy the process!
Michael: cc do you love me i am trying to save you from this place please show me your face so i can stop this goose chase.
Oh my god this makes a hell of a lot more sense, its all coming together
I cant believe it. You’re so amazing theorizing!!!
another top tier video Candi!
i wish i had something more thoughtful to say than "this is such a cool theory", but man. this is such a cool theory. it's satisfying from a narrative perspective AND has evidence to back it up. always look forward to a new upload from you.
I feel that! I was wishing I had more creative ways of saying "this comment was kind and made me smile" and I defaulted to just typing "
I have not watched a proper FNAF theory in years up until I found this channel. Good stuff.
Actually amazing video and I loves the jokes, can't wait for more!!
The only thing that doesn't sit right with me as it is now is the masks in the Happiest Day scene. There's some confusion for me about why Dave would get that (Golden Freddy?) mask in the end. I'm sitting on this comment and I have a lot of ideas about this because of you mentioning Dave might haunt the buildings, but Im curious to see where you take this
Even if Dave doesn't possess Golden Freddy the animatronic, he's still very thematically tied to the character because it's his Plushie-Best-Imaginary-Nannycam-Friend and because it's the animatronic that bit him
Huh... I wasn't expecting a video on a series about murderous robot animals and child murder to give me comfort, but the story you've told of moving on and finding peace managed it.
I’m really liking this! Gonna binge some videos now lol. U got a new subscriber
Aw thank you 😊 Hope you like the others!!
This theory's characterization of the VS also makes sense for UCN, bc you make VS to be more dutiful rather than emotional, they stay behind to torture afton not bc they're salty abt their death, but as justicd for CC, their close friend, "the one you shouldn't have killed" is VS recognizing their own competence in soul-mind manipulating rather than just being upset, they were after all the key to springlocking William, setting up Michael in Frights, the VS is just an unusually capable ghost.
I love this! They're vengeful for their own death sure but also angry on behalf of their friends
