I’ll be honest, this book is literally the holy bible of solving the FNAF lore for good. I want to acknowledge that the expansions are important for sure, but it’s crazy that the FNAF 1 designs were the OG designs in the lore. I could see this being that in 1983-1985, the OGs were just like their OG selves but they have detailed elements from the Withereds, like the characters having buttons for example. With what’s given in The Week Before, I feel like that Fazbear Entertainment is wanting to go back to nostalgia since the Endo-02s caused a lot problems and that it took several years for William to have Circus Baby’s to be attached to the Freddy’s location mainly to use the Pizzerias as bait for victims. With the expansions given in this book (and the Party room in the book), I think that Into the Pit’s Jeff’s location was expanded after it was digged out by Phone Dude. And because of this, I have a feeling that the FNAF 2 location is the same location as FNAF 1. And with the ventilations being part of the pizzeria, it makes me believe that William was a career counselor who had Freddy’s under his control with connecting the place to Circus Baby’s so that he can research how the animatronics behave in the night. I might have the feeling that the animatronics were used to kill people so that they won’t go snooping around for William’s crimes, and Bronwen is a good highlight for this after all. And with the Puppet’s whereabouts, I assume Willy made a steel box that’ll imprison her so that he can pull the strings on the kids, and in FNAF 2, it feels like Puppet was helping the animatronics to avenge their tragedies. While in TWB and FNAF 1, William is abusing them to kill not just adults, but also gaslight the kids to meet their doom. And if Puppet was in control, she might’ve had control over Golden Freddy (given his hostile and uncanny attitude). But due to BV heavily being part of Goldie, I think it’s that he’s attached to Shadow Freddy and they follow Mike and William wherever they go. So they now haunt Freddy’s since Willy is toying around with that location. But given the “It’s me” is occurring throughout this book makes me believe that without Puppet, Golden Freddy is truly vengeful and skillful with attacking Nightguards. I feel like that it’s BV being the hostile one, with Cassidy trying to communicate to Ralph and is wanting him to know that William is going to Coppelia next. And since Bronwen was stuffed in Goldie, I think Cassidy used Bronwen’s remnant to talk to Ralph on trying to stop Afton and save Coppelia from his devious plans. I could see this as Cassidy manipulating Ralph and is writing the It’s Me signs to imply it’s “The One you should not have killed” My reasoning is that Cassidy is way more skillful on handling memories and remnant and has the capability to use those to torture people with that agony, it’s why she fits right in as Vengeful Spirit (imo), but it also explains why Puppet needs to be around to protect the victims. And then there’s the Bites. With the Bite of 87, people are now saying that Withered Foxy did the Bite since one of the pages say that “Foxy didn’t bit any kids” which indicates he had bitten an adult. However, I’m kinda leaning towards Mangle and it’s because Foxy is a broken animatronic, both TSE and ITP implied he was Out of Order during the MCI and this leads me to believe he couldn’t work and his parts started making Mangle so fragile enough for her to snap and bite a person for the same pain Foxy had (so it’s kind of the remnant parts being taken). And with the Bite happening on the Dayshift, it’s possible that it was pointing to Mangle as the suspect. And I have the feeling that the employees made up the Flashlight defense since Foxy isn’t used to lights and they’ll assume Mangle is as well. And don’t forget, Ralph calls Mangle a “Foxy” And then we get to the meat of it all: Coppelia’s timeline and its effects on FNAF 1’s placement. It seems to imply she was born when Ralph got hired, which puts TWB around 1994-1995 if she was born around 1983. But since this is Ralph, he’s basically having a hard time remembering things since he’s going through a mental breakdown through his Nightshift and it makes me think that we should take a bag of powder from Ralph’s pov for lore. I might say Coppelia was born around 1981 and that Ralph got his job around 1983 and Coppelia had her 7th birthday around 1988 (which is probably when Freddy’s opens) and this’ll make her 11 in TWB, but this book implies her birthday is shortly after November, so she’ll turn 12 after November. Thus, I’m still a FNAF1-1993 believer. On the side note, Coppelia’s name has a wild meaning to it. The name origins is about a doll-like ballerina named Coppelia who was built by Dr. Coppelius. Franz ends up falling in love with the doll only to find out in Coppelius’s house that she’s a doll. Later on, Coppelius kidnaps Franz and ends up using him to try to bring his doll to life, not until Franz’s fiancee Swanhilda hides in the doll and fools Coppélius, which made Coppelius realizes she’s just a doll. Franz and Swanhilda then got married. With that recap over with, I have a feeling that this name was either intentional or just something to choose for new names. I feel like this is reflecting TWB’s plot and probably Ballora as well, there’s also another story called “The Sandman” which shares a similar story to the Coppélia story. With my theory about Coppelia, I see it as William is trying to get Ralph to go through trauma with the hostile spirits, use Bronwen as bait, and abduct Coppelia to kill her and use her as a lab rat to experiment on the Funtimes. With this idea, I feel like that Ballora exists as a beautiful creature Willy made that’ll be his “perfect” wife by using peoples’ remnant since he lacks heart towards the Funtimes. I kinda imagine this to be that Mrs. Afton could’ve been rebuilt as Ballora by Afton and Afton wants more victims to keep on torturing his family and his victims to have animatronics as his perfect family while being used as killer minions for him. This could also line up with Ballora’s lyrics and UCN lines on William wanting her wife to be more perfect than before by doing terrible things for the process to control her (and it’s possible she had most control over the family before the Bite). And that’s my whole hour essay on my speculation about The Week Before! Whew, holy Yappachino! Anyways, I loved the analysis video. Feel free to disagree with me 👍
I recommend checking out checking out a video from a guy called the unwithered truth as not only does he have an interesting take on the date but also his video is well made in general.
first
As someone who has gone very in depth with this book I’m curious what you found I might have missed or if you found everything I did
I’ll be honest, this book is literally the holy bible of solving the FNAF lore for good.
I want to acknowledge that the expansions are important for sure, but it’s crazy that the FNAF 1 designs were the OG designs in the lore.
