#They probably won't see colors the way humans can. Would we even be able to understand each others' art?

How do i find the motivation to practice art? I have so many shitposts that’ll never come to fruition because my skills plateaued ):
No one else is going to draw my ideas and I'm too broke to pay someone else to do it for me. For better or worse, I seem to approach a lot of things from a "gotta do everything myself around here" angle haha
Honestly—and I won't lie to you—doing art studies is a real pain in the ass, I hate doing them. I never do them unless I've got major art block, and even then I still hate doing them, but it's like taking medicine and I know doing them will make me better. Every art teacher I've ever had's grilled me about this, "solradguy, you need to do 15 studies before the end of the week to get a full grade this quarter." Blah blah blah.
I guess for some people doing studies could be fun, not having to think about pose or composition, whatever, just putting lines down on paper and focus on your reference. One time, when I was still in college, I had to do a certain amount of studies in charcoal so I booted up Red Dead Redemption and drew landscapes or objects from it that I kinda liked. It was enough. I told my professor it was from my grandma's farm hehe
Art memes can be a good way to practice too, especially those ones about drawing in different styles or drawing a character in different outfits. They combine fun with tricking you into drawing things you might not normally draw. Emulating different art styles is the only art study method that doesn't make me want to fall asleep. Don't forget they're just art games though, and especially don't forget:
👉If You Already Feel Burnt Out Don't Feel Compelled To Complete Every Art Meme You Start👈
As you get better at art, you start noticing improvements less and less because they become more subtle. When you're really new to art, figuring out stuff like basic anatomy or shading is REALLY obvious because they're foundational parts of art. Hang on to your really old stuff and look at it every now and then and I guarantee you'll have improved way more than you thought you had.
I get the impression you've probably been at art for a while now, and I don't want to come across as patronizing, but sometimes refreshing the basics can help overcome a plateau too. Drawabox is usually what I recommend to people just getting into art, I really like their approach. Here's a link to their introduction lesson: drawabox.com/lesson/0 And here's one that skips to the actual art stuff: drawabox.com/lesson/1
While it's probably beneficial to actually do the exercises in the lessons, just skimming through reading them can be good too.
Something I've noticed a lot of my artists friends (and artists online) do is try to make every single drawing a finished piece, and I'm like "damn, no wonder art feels like such a chore." My sketchbook is 99% scribbles done in pen:
Tumblr media
I use Pentel RSVP fine point ballpoint pens so if I make a mistake I'm forced to deal with it. Doing these rough sketches before starting a bigger piece is something I recommend with my entire heart. Just get a pack of shitty $0.99 pens and doodle like it's high school math class. I like the cheap pens because you can get faint lines drawing lightly and can coax them into darker lines with a bit more pressure (and if you lose/break one it's no big deal).
The best way to get better at art is to keep putting lines on paper. Even if it's just silly pen doodles, you're still improving coordination/pen control, improving construction of basic shapes, exploring concepts, and thinking about art, which will lead to more new ideas and further inspiration.
Sorry this is long and meandering haha Hopefully something here helps at least a tiny bit.

thinking about cable management and routine maintenance in cyborg boys. here's what we got this morning
shigeru loves the aesthetic. he's married to it. i think he'd be the most into making sure that his insides looked all sleek and nice and organized. he takes pride in his borg body. personally i'm torn between him color coordinating his wires to match his whole rose theme (he could use green wires like the plants are growing out of him...) or the fact that the stronger suit is kind of the default color of most wires (so he could probably just use what was put in him originally) but he'd absolutely make sure that his insides looked as clean as possible.
kazuya would have to have his insides really organized kind of by necessity. it wouldn't be an aesthetic thing for him i don't think but considering he's gotta use that repair machine (since he has no boys to fix him) and that needs to be able to target a specific part of his mechanics completely autonomously to be able to repair it, things have to be tied up tight in there so that they don't shift when he's moving around. also, super-1 is canonically beautiful, and they REALLY like showing off his borg blueprints so i think they tried to make him look nice and clean in there.
kazami was NOT clean at all when they made him (look, they were racing against time in there) but yuki absolutely went in and reworked him afterwards. having a scientist boyfriend has some perks! i think it would be a matter of pride for yuki but also i think a way for him to redeem his destron time a little bit. he can use his skills that he got there to make kazami even better.
speaking of yuki his arm was fixed up by a bunch of scientists that liked him and cared about him. i think that they did their best to make the connection as easy and as natural as possible. there probably was some nerve damage from the acid and everything and i have my own headcanons about his range of feeling in the arm and how everything works there but i think they would have done their best to save as much as they could and make it comfortable for him.
hongo is the messiest out of all of them on the inside because he wouldn't want to open himself up and do routine maintenance i don't think. he's fine with all the human things like brushing his teeth and showering but having to open himself up and blow the dust off of his parts and worrying about how all the wires in him are connected is something that he doesn't want to do and doesn't trust a lot of other people to do. hayato and taki can clean him up but if he's on his own for a while away from the two of them he just won't and he'll get all dirty inside and hayato will have to open him up and wipe his parts off when they see each other again. i think he's prone to overheating because of this <3
amazon is made of meat :)

What if the human was talking to tv woman and the brown camera man run up to them but instead of hugging tv woman he hugs the human and the human hugs him back how would the main trio, mimic trio and tv woman react to that
Camron would feel an instant wave of jealousy. How dare that unit hug you! At least ask first! But seeing you happily embrace him back only sends a shiver of silent frustration down to his hands. Causing them to quake. He's not gonna control who you're gonna be able to talk to...but why that guy? Doesn't he treasure the tv lady over you?? Why the sudden change of heart? He doesn't like it. DJ is a bit envious that the unit would be so bold to run up to the human and hug them, when he can barely ask for one without feeling a little clingy. It's a mood dampener...especially now that they have yet ANOTHER competitor to deal with for the affection of the human. Just great. Vee has heard from the tv gossip vine that this unit was very determined to hug their matriarch, even to the point of absolute annoyance. He figured he was going to watch it happen in real time, seeing as the tv lady was conversing with the human, but color him surprised when the cameraman in question latches onto the HUMAN and not the matriarch. It seemed to surprise both units, him and her, as the human just welcomed it. Suddenly...Vee got a sudden chill and an urge to intervene. They're just friends...but why does he feel so irritated? However, he didn't seem to be alone in his irritation...as a look of anger seemed to cross the matriarchs face. Buddy would squint his eye in caution but would go a little bit more lax when the human returns the embrace and greets the cameraman. This entity looks familiar...but he can't remember where. Still, the way he still holds onto the human, even after a few minutes, begins to grate on the mimic. Will you DROP your hands already? That prolonged amount of contact is only allowed with close friends, like HIM. Pal would be happy that the human seemed to have made a new friend entirely, this one was even keen on hugs! The moment the human lets go of the cameraman and vice versa, Pal picks up the unit (much to his shock) and hugs him too. He wants to join in on the cuddle party! Human friend! Come here and we can all hug each other together!! Fiend would quickly grow irritated and would probably loom nearby to make sure that interloper knows what he's getting into. Doesn't he know that there are so many mimics, and UNITS, lined up for that human's heart? He's FIRST in line, thank you very much and he won't tolerate line cutters! He's going to terrify that unit till it leaks oil everywhere for even daring to latch onto HIS precious human! The TV woman seemed to realize the approach of that brown-coated cameraman too late, her eyes could only widen when she sees him approach. However, the human and her were talking about some rather important matters, so she couldn't just teleport away! She braced for impact...but it never came. Instead, she heard the human let out a grunt before erupting in laughter. Much to her shock, the cameraman that seemed to have been infatuated with her...was now hugging the human...who was returning it. She seemed stunned from the sudden change of heart as browncoat was nuzzling into the human's neck and shoulder. Then, there was a moment where she could feel the cameraman look at her...and glare. Once the human lets go of browncoat, the two began talking idly...and he wasn't even paying her no mind, seemingly ignoring she was there in the first place. She could feel her eye twitch, not because of the sudden change in interest in her...but because of WHO he decided to exchange her with. That...made her pretty bitter and she would give him an angry glare in return, much to the obliviousness of the human between them.

Owari no Seraph chapter 136 english fan translation
Hi how are you. Do you wanna read a fan translation of the new ons chapter? Because I have one. You should totally also read the official from here though!
There was some promo material along with the color page I translated this time too.
Color Page: To save Everything, that's the ambition he's imbued into his sword.
Owari no Seraph chapter 316: God Resides Within Them
[Transcription of the OnS half of the following volume 32 ad page]
Knowing the truth only strengthens their desire for a path to salvation!
To bless the souls of all with forgiveness...Yuu* and Mika's fight begins!!
Having found out the truth of his own past, he's set his sights on "delivering salvation unto all in existence." His first step has been to pay Saitou and the vampires a visit and attempt to discuss with them...!?
-[chapter starts here]
Shikama: Yuu, hurry up.
Saitou: Urd!!! Do NOT let him get to the First!!
Ky: ....holy shit.
Lest: We're gonna get caught up in it too if we don't get out of here!
Shikama: Shit
Urd: O Sword.....CLEAR THE SKY ALONG WITH THE FIRST!!!
Yuu: I can tell that's bad news just by looking, what do we do about it?
Mika: Hmm...
Yuu: I wonder if we can just...tank it?
Mika: No shot, tanking that would kill us. And even if we lived we'd have been knocked too far away.
Yuu: Oh yeah, too far away to hear what the First has to say. So what then?
Mika: Mhm....
Mika: Ohhh- I've got it. We've cast curse of you can't kill us on the vampires, right?
Yuu: Uh, no I don't think they're really taking that into account with these attacks.
Mika: Well ok, but maybe that's because we're in the middle of a tumultuous battle now. So basically if we settle down and behave, our curse should go back into affect.
Yuu: Hm...
Mika: So as soon as we hear whatever the First has to say, we should just immediately let ourselves get captured and it'll be fine.
Yuu: Ok.
Mika: Alright, we've got our plan
Yuu: But how?
Mika: I'll take his attack alone until I hit empty battery, so just toss the sword into it.
Yuu: Aren't you just being suicidal again?
Mika: I'm already dead I can't be. Even if he explodes me I'll just come back whenever I eat some of your desire.
Yuu: That's gonna have ME running on empty, though.
Mika: Yeah it'll probably get you so bad you won't even be able to move, but it's better than dying right now.
Yuu: Sure I guess. Ok, I'll throw you now, then.
Mika: Great, I'll give it my all!
Yuu: *Link sounds*
Mika: *screaming*
Mika: Oh, nevermind I fucked up
Mika: YUUCHAN I FUCKED UP.
Ferid: That's the impact Urd Gilles' sword makes. Must be someone real powerful over there to cancel it out
Ferid: Am I right, My Queen
Krul: He's strong, this isn't Ferid's strength. I don't know if I can win here.
Shinya: Hey....Kureto nii-san. Are you still alive? ...Did you die?
Shinya: I gave you your next shiritori kana quite a while ago, can I consider it my win if you died? What would people say if they knew Kureto nii-san had died ragequitting shiritori....
Shinya: Uh??? Kureto nii-san, are you alive? If you really died-
Kureto: Hey.
Shinya: OH SHIT, YOU SURVIVED THAT?
Kureto: Stop being stupid. Let's set our allies loose and then get out of here, Shinya. And no dawdling.
Shinya: I know.
Yuu: I'm so hungry oh my god, this must be empty battery.
Yuu: Ok, First, I'm here! What are we talkin' about!?
Yuu: Oh, you're see-through! Wh-what the hell happened???
Shikama: I'm...being eaten.
Yuu: Eaten!? Wait by who?????
Shikama: By humans.
Shikama: I couldn't have imagined a human with enough power to do this...
Yuu: I asked who though????
Shikama: There's no time to explain. I need to transfer whatever is left of my magic and power to you before it's all stolen.
Yuu: Wh-
Mika: THAT WAS SO STUPID. I DIDN'T EVEN LAST 8 SECONDS.
Mika: HEY, HE'S SEE-THROUGH!!
Shikama: There's no time. Rigr and Urd are on their way. Before they get here, Yuu,
Yuu: What?
Shikama: You said you had found out how to resurrect Mikaela. Was that true? I've never once been able to do it.
Yuu: It was true. If you teach me how, I can do it successfully.
Shikama: Was I mistaken in the way I've been doing it?
Yuu: Yeah, all wrong.
Shikama: ...I see. But you found where that mistake was.
Yuu: I did.
Shikama: Understood. Then, since my time has run out, it's time to entrust everything to you.
The spell to resurrect Mikaela. The spell to hide this world from Paradise. The spell to destroy Paradise.
Shikama: There is a great price for you to pay for all of these. But still-
Yuu: I have my memories back, I can do it. I'll follow in your steps, I'll resurrect all of the angels.
Shikama: Ha, hahaha
Shikama: You really do surprise me, humans and homonculi both, before I even knew it you've surpassed your creator's wildest expectations.
Shikama: Alright then, I leave what's left of my power to you, who I know less and less what exactly to call.
Shinoa: I don't think so.
Shikama: .....what do you even intend to use all this power for?
Shinoa: For love.**
Shikama: How selfish, an expectedly human answer.
Shinoa: How are you any different?
Shikama: I never thought this day would come...my wish, I leave to the next generation.
Shinoa: I don't know who you were planning to give what to, but now that I have it, it won't be used to hurt anyone else.
Yuu: Ok
The power of the First’s love has been settled in that body....***
Owari no Seraph will be on hiatus next month.
T/N:
*the Yuu they use here is in katakana like they write the Homonculous's name (and how Shikama has been referring to Yuu recently)
**Shinoa uses the word for romantic love here
***changed from what I used to have after being asked for clarification, I think this version makes it more obvious which body they’re talking abt but you can still see the original with the twitter version XP

It has been stuck in my head but i'm too lazy to write it down properly
If the Rise boys and 2012 boys switched plots.
Like
What would the Rise boys do in a situation that actually requires them to be serious, to have coherent plans instead of "fuck it we ball". What would they be like in a world that's much more murkier than where they're from? A world where they actually need to hide, like HIDE hiding, not what they're doing in the show. What would they be without mystic powers and a much more human Shredder that slowly but surely turns himself into a monster rather being a monster right away. What would they do to villains that ACTUALLY have all the intention to kill just because of the circumstances placed upon them? Just because they're related to one man, or connected to something bigger.
And most interesting enough, would Rise Leo even consider being the leader with how much responsibility it would probably be? Would Rise Donnie even successfully find stuff for inventions or just look through trash like his 2012 counterpart? If we consider keeping their roles the same, would Rise Raph even handle being the Leader with how high the stakes are from the get go? Would Rise Mikey even at least try to befriend 2012 Karai, given she's a villain and technically their enemy? How would they even react with 2012 April?
And MOST FREGIN IMPORTANTLY if their personalities don't change, what would their relationship with 2012 Splinter be like? How would they react to his death?
And would they even be able to kill Shredder?
For the 2012 boys, how would they react to a colorful environment full of much more people than their own universe where it wouls be super hard to hide? How would they react to weird and wacky villains? There's a whole new other world underneath the underneath, a world where they won't be gawked at if they simply walk in the streets. How would they handle their mystic powers given their own unique insecurities?
How would they react to Rise's overpowered villains?
Given their personalities stay somewhat the same, would there even still be a leader? Would 2012 Leo still want that leader position despite the fact that he can be much more free? Would 2012 Donnie's inventions improve, would they solve the oozequitos problem the same way they did in their own universe? Would it be much more difficult considering mystic stuff happens? Would 2012 Raph be more comfortable in this universe? Given the fact that it's, let's say, a bit more healthier than their situation in 2012? Would 2012 Mikey even attempt to get Draxum a redemption arc when all of his brothers would probably have a much more stronger dislike of him than the Rise boys? Heck how would they react to finding out they were created to be warriors that kills the humans they try to protect?
And Rise April... What would their relationship with her be like? Would they even try to go out wearing clothes just to hang out with her in daylight? How would they react to Big Mama? How would they react to this version of the Foot Clan? To Cassandra Jones? Would her and 2012 Raph become friends just like they always do, right off the get go? Can he even convince her out of the Foot?
And the Shredder... How would they react to the Shredder being this unstoppable force? How tf would they react to a much atronger monstrous Krang? Would 2012 Leo, the idiot he is, still try and sacrifice himself? How wouls they react to future Casey Jones? How would they react to a violent Krangified 2012 Raph and what kind of argument would they go through to reach that? It would probably be something about how Raph doesn't understand why Leo was so worked up, and we see him block that killing blow with his ACTUAL SHOULDER finally understanding the fear his older brother feels whenever one of them gets hurt.
And... How would they react to Rise Karai?
How would they thrive under the very loose teaching Rise Splinter is doing?
Okay that's enough of my rambling

How will blindness/colorblindness affect the inkfish?? Like, can they still play Turf? Can they still blend in with the surrounding? Can they even change their ink color???
I don't know how colorblindness would work in cephalopods... and as a matter of fact cephalopods SHOULD be colorblind (as in just seeing in black and white) as far as we can tell and we're not sure how they're able to see color. I think the latest consensus is that the shape of their pupils lets them distinguish color, but this is not really helping our thing here, so let's go. (Here's an interesting article on this... I got sidetracked)
When it comes to full blindness, I don't think you could play turf war because it's a sport that very much needs you to see - normal turf war alongside players that DO see, that is. Unless inkfish had some sixth sense to echolocate their surroundings (which... they have a magnetic sense and Echolocator is a special, but that doesnt say much), a sport where you need as much awareness of your enemies and surrounding structures and ink would be really difficult to navigate and put you at a real disadvantage. However an arrangement of Turf Wars specifically for blind inkfish WOULD probably be possible, since everyone would be on a pretty even playing field, and experienced players would learn to navigate the stages and locate enemies without having to see at all. The biggest problem there is that the outcome of the match would be totally random because nobody is seeing how much ink is around and what color it is, but that's not really a problem when it's just the way it is for everybody.
When it comes to colorblindness, again as with the beginning of the post, I have no idea how colorblindness would WORK with cephalopods because unlike with humans, it wouldn't be linked to color deciphering rods missing or not working, but would rather have to do with the overall structure of the eye? Unless color vision is modified in modern inkfish to have more light-sensitive proteins in the eye, so their color vision worked similarly to vertebrates. Either way, colorblindness typically removes some tones, so that several distinct colors in the same general part of the spectrum look identical, or two parts of the spectrum that are typically different look the same. Obviously something like the equivalent of red-green colorblindness would be difficult in turf war because you could be in a situation where both teams' ink looks THE SAME or nearly identical.... but the obvious solution is, just don't use those colors.
Color Lock is even an accommodation in the game itself, locking the colors to set ones that colorblindness won't get in the way of. In-universe, I doubt colorblindness would be much of an issue when it comes to turf war, assuming the colors picked would still take into account if someone in the match needed color lock. Even monochromatic vision would let you do turf wars assuming the colors picked were one bright color and one dark color, it could definitely be done. The only obvious problem I see with turf wars and colorblindness is ending up in the situation where it's difficult to tell the ink colors apart, but again, that's adjustable.
When it comes to changing ink color and blending in, colorblind inkfish could still do that, but with some types of colorblindness you might end up in the situation where the color you're displaying is actually NOT the color of the ink. If it's your own ink, though, I think the body has a way of regulating that whatever color the ink is easily translates over to the chromatophores, subconsciously, zero looking needed. When it comes to complete blindness, the same thing applies, you could still totally change color and change ink color. You just wouldn't know what color it was, visually.

I don't think AI is going to replace us completely.
(essay incoming under the break. Not a rant, but it's long. There is no TL;DR)
I've used AI image generators to get ideas, because NONE of them have been able to replicate what I see in my head, no matter how much I vary the description of what I want. Not once had I received an image that made me go, "That's it! Perfect. Cut. Print. Time to moving on." ("Time to moving on" is an inside voice acting joke. :) )
The closest was with Artbreeder. Even then, you take a base image, and then spend time as an amateur geneticist splicing genes together to create a specific, unique face. I've even had to take those images and tweak them slightly in photoshop to get what I want that none of the AI options could give me - eye color, hair color, complection, jaw shape, skin markings, minute details, ect. It could get close, but never exact.
What I'll do for locations is search through AI images until I find some that can work in the context that I want, collect a ton of them, and then spend hours in photoshop morphing, recoloring, splitting, cutting, altering, and then gluing the shredded bits together to create what I see in my head.
The two projects that I did this past year both consist of 90+ layers. A lot of those layers are my lighting and art from scratch - from my hand (mouse) - to fill in the blanks of what I couldn't find. I can't draw. This is the only visual art tool I have.
In the end, AI is a tool to help artists create what they could otherwise not achieve. For those of us who can't draw, Artbreeder became the only way we were able to look into the eyes of our original characters. Without it, their faces exactly as we imagine them would remain locked in our minds. We can hire artists (and should), but an external source can't see exactly what we see. They will get close, but it won't be a reproduction of what we see.
Yes, AI will take over some aspects of creative jobs - and that is scary - but it will also give artists the ability to create more with their talent, skills, and training that AI can never replace.
What scares the sh*t out of me is how corporations will use it to get what they want without paying a human for the work. They can use AI to skip to the end product. At this point in AI development, it shows.
It's what happened with the WGA, and with the Christopher Paolini incident.
I was on the picket lines for a while until my restaurant job made me work during strike hours. While I was there, I heard the fears of the writers, directors, and actors. One of the writers said there is a real possibility that production companies will hire writers to write 3 scripts or so, train an AI to study the writing style, then fire the writers and have the AI "write" scripts from then on.
It's when corporations think they can erase a human from their ledger books for an AI that only needs to be maintained by a programmer.
They are willingly taking food from people's mouths. They are negatively impacting the livelihoods of living beings. They are shamefully throwing away the years of training these artists went through as though they were used sugar packets - drained of everything they have to offer, then tossed into the trash, never to be thought of again. They disregard the thousands of dollars in debt artists put themselves in to hone their skills.
Yes, even writers. This sh*ts not easy. And living with ADHD makes it harder.
In the case of Christopher Paolini's latest book, he used AI to create his cover art. That's fine if the AI isn't stealing from an artist. In this case, it did. The AI stole the image from a real artist, and recolored it with some slight changes. Put side by side, you can clearly see the altered image isn't much different from the original. What makes this even worse is that Paolini didn't credit the original artist whos work he blatantly stole. AND he's defending his actions.
I am a writer. I'll admit that I'll probably use AI to create my cover art. HOWEVER... I will not use existing art. If I do, the original artist will be credited, and paid with the same respect as if I'd hired them personally. I'd actually prefer to hire them personally rather than go through an AI and spend time fixing the AI problems in photoshop. You can collaborate with a person. You can't do that with an AI.
Being seen, being validated, and knowing your work has value is an INSANELY IMPORTANT aspect of the mental health of an artist. We create for ourselves, but no matter how much we say "my art is for me," we want our efforts to be noticed, shared, and to be told, "You're good. This is great! I love it." It makes us feel like we've used our gifts to contribute to society. It makes us feel like we've affected people. We've made them feel, we've taken them on adventures, we've given them something that they can hold onto as a life raft to get them through hard times when they can find nothing else. Art has kept people's souls alive.
Yes, we will also learn from our mistakes through feedback (not bullying or canceling) to better ourselves.
Artists are so integral to the mental health of humanity, it's nuts. When peoples lives were thrown into chaos by the pandemic, where did they turn to for relief?
Art.
In all forms.
We devoured videos on YT.
We took up painting, or drawing, or writing.
We buried ourselves in fan fiction, original works, movies, and sometimes just stared at a piece of art to let it absorb us away from everything for a while.
We sang musicals from our balconies when a lot of people had to stay at home.
We sang along to music by musicians we found on Spotify, or YT sharing their original works - songs we otherwise may not never heard.
We learned to dance to those songs, and made tiktok videos of it.
We latched onto sea shanties for a while.
We laughed at comedians who made us happy, and escaped into the world through sports using clothing and equipment designed...by artists.
That busker you passed by playing the guitar healed you a little with their chords.
For those of us who had to risk our lives everyday and still work - who didn't get quarantined because were were "essential workers" - escaping into someone's creation, and also creating art kept US sane.
Me, I worked in a restaurant. To stay sane, I started writing a book. I'm editing it now, and it's free to read until I publish it...maybe. I also took up roller skating for my physical health, which affects my mental health.
I probably wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for the lifeline of art. Even before the pandemic.
Artists are far more necessary than society wants to admit. We are far more important and essential than society wants to admit. We should be celebrated and given chances to succeed in what we are born to do, instead of having our natural gifts insulted, belittled by people calling it 'easy,' or 'hobbies,' and constantly telling us we've failed at life if we can't get "A Real Job."
For artists, society's idea of a "real job" is a soul-killer.
If scientists are the brain of humanity, tradesmen are the blood, and those in the medical field are the heart, then artists are humanity's soul.
Take away the soul, and you're left with a zombie shell.
AI can keep the shell going, but not matter how much it advances, it will never replace its heart, its brain, its blood, or it's Light.
What the production companies tried to do in the name of Greed, and what Paolini did to avoid paying an artist by stealing from them and insulting them at the same time is what makes the advancement of AI so terrifying.
AI in itself is not bad. In the end, it's just a tool.
It's how a consumer-based world will exploit it with their sights glued to a bottom line, and the cost being human life.

An Open Letter To FR Staff & Users (But Mostly To Staff)
This post will be long and I'm sure one or two people will deem it as brown-nosing staff, so here's a read more because I love my friends and followers and anyone perusing the Flight Rising tag. This is a very long post.
Preemptively, yes, you can reblog and add on, but I probably won't respond, as immediately after posting I'm muting this post.
There are 3 TLDRs under the read more, alongside the bulk of the post. Again. This is very, very long. 2.4k words long. I have 9 years of thoughts rattling around in this post.
TLDR for section 1 (No Wait!! Only Dragon): The art staff needs to draw, adjust and recolor (if this is seen past 3/24/23, over.) 7,244 individual pieces of apparel for every new modern breed (this is including both poses, not just one pose) they add, along with 324 genes (including f pose, m pose and h pose) and make sure all 177 colors with 2,680,125 combinations of colors possible (I.. I think? This is including all 3 poses also. Additionally, if I'm not wrong, they have an algorithm handle coloring to make things easier, but it doesn't change the fact that these still need to all be tested as they come up. Also this doesn't include every gene and gene combo, so uh, you can have fun with THAT math) don't break anything, and paired with their 'no crunch policy' it is no surprise we need to wait 5+ years between modern breeds, and even without modern breeds being taken into consideration, it makes sense that we have glitches with colors and genes just breaking.
TLDR for section 2 (Communication): Staff (Specifically those in positions like Aequorin, where they can be a bridge between coders/artists/etc and users) needs to communicate more with their users in regards to accessibility rollouts, issues with 'ban waves', false multi-account claims, actual multi-accounters being unnoticed for some time, etc. Full stop. The lack of communication can be a bit egregious, but it's slowly gotten better.
TLDR for section 3 (Final Thoughts): Staff messes up. With people they hire, things they do and decisions they make - We see it a lot more because they're effectively 20 or so people being eyeballed by (as of writing this) 4,221 people. So does the userbase. But we don't see that as much because the average user does not have 4.2k eyes on them at any given moment. But they're just a bunch of humans. They still deserve to be treated like them, even if you don't agree with every single thing they do.
v-v-Actual Post-v-v
To start, please know, I have been an active user off and on since 2014. This is not coming from a user who has been coddled by the release of Obelisks and onward. Additionally, I have plenty ill opinions on staff and some of the hills they've decided to dig their heels in on, as they are not perfect, no one is, but I would like to write this post to no one either way. This is more so in regards to their 'no crunch policy' and several other things that I've noticed over the years.
I'll focus on my main and only issue here first, the "no crunch policy." I'm not sure if they've ever quite explained what they mean by that, but, at a glance, it means they don't make their artists rush to finish pieces, which is fine, however it becomes frustrating as a user when they keep, in the case of Aberrations, putting the release off because of a 'no crunch policy.' There is a definite difference between not crunching and ensuring your artists adhere to a release schedule- That is to say if Stormlight Workshop intends to handle Flight Rising like a professional website, then they need to hire artists with the intent of making a set release date, rather than hiring them under the pretense of 'not crunching under any circumstances, ever.' Realistically, we should've gotten Aberrations a little sooner than we did.
Now, staff has said on multiple occasions they are always working on new breeds, and only in the 2020s have we been able to get a good view of that being true, as we have had three Ancient breed releases in the past 12 months alone, a massive step up from the previous release 'schedule' where we got two in 2014 (Coatls, Nocturnes), one in 2016 (Bogsneaks), two in 2019 (Gaoler, Banescale), one in 2020 (Veilspun), one in 2021 (Obelisks), two in 2022 (Aberrations, Undertides) and one (so far) in 2023 (Aethers).
This isn't to be ignorant towards the artists employed at Stormlight Workshop and the fact that artists regularly, without fail, get absolutely shafted when it comes to income VS the work they put in and time constraints, etc, to the point where freelance artists (the average artist you'd commission off of Tumblr or other social networking sites) need to greatly undersell their commissions to even get one commission. For example, an artist who I'd put their art at maybe 45/50$ for one fullbody charged 20$ for a 2 character fullbody with full shading and details, it is that bad when it comes to trying to find work, so I can ABSOLUTELY understand why they'd choose to push for a 'no crunch' policy to give their artist a dang break when it comes to work they receive. However as far as I'm aware, no artists have ever come forward to speak about pay they receive working on Flight Rising assets. This is in no way me claiming they are not paying their artists a fair wage or not paying them at all, this is me saying that no official artist, as far as I am aware, has stated what they are paid and how (gems, USD, etc.), so guesses cannot be made re: hourly pay until then.
This is a very, very long-winded way to say I think the userbase should be a bit.. More understanding re: wait times. I know in recent times, as we've stopped being kids/early 20 year-olds, the agitation in regards to everything has gone down. And I still think the wait can be pretty egregious and I'm hoping we get more modern breeds soon, or a better idea on what release schedules we can look at going forward.
Now. The following segment is not about the art staff and issues in regards to the waits, but the company Stormlight Workshop as a whole. I am not claiming anything I say going forward reflects on the company, workers and staff in a negative light, nor am I claiming any/all of these bans were done to 'get back' at a user, were done 'incorrectly/in error' or were done without reason. These things happen with sites like Flight Rising where they have a smaller staff and cannot 100% screen every single ban/email inquiry re: a false ban/etc. But the communication is an issue all the same.
Moving onto other my secondary, significantly lesser issue is the lack of communication regarding this stuff. Staff - User communication should be kept at a minimum without being cold, snarky, standoffish, etc, (sort of like the behavior Aequorin(? i think that's how you spell her name) displays with users, she can be serious at times and silly others, it depends on the context really!) lest we get sites like PokeFarm Q where the site owner/main coder can be a total jerk and traumadump to a userbase consisting primarily of mentally ill minors while having no repercussions. However, the issue with this comes in when we don't have details regarding breed releases, actual ETA dates for when we're getting (for example) achievements back. Additionally there are some lesser promises that have fallen through that we've gotten no word on, such as more merchandise like the pins we never got, and why it can be such a complete pain in the butt to get Wildclaw scrolls and why they've only been in circulation for a total that's around a month when stuck back to back when they were intended to more 'regularly' cycle. (The post I saw claimed a cumulative 20 - 40 days? I don't recall exactly.)
Additionally, there are the, at times, false ban waves that staff goes on every once in a blue moon that makes a subset of the community lose their collective minds. I have been friends with two users affected by this. One I will not give details to, as they are back on-site under a new account (which is permitted under the pretense they give up on getting their old account back), but her husband and her both got banned. Staff can be very inconsistent with who does and does not get banned for multiaccounting, even while reporting is taken into account, as I've seen what I deemed to be a pretty blatant case not get taken care of for quite some time, when reported.
However I am aware this is very likely a case of personal bias. I am very aware that this is a topic that is very personal to me as I lost a pair of dragons to someone being banned unfairly for multiaccounting (context: they admitted they had an acc prior to their current one on the forums and got banned), and even when they relented the account and just asked that the dragons to be sent back to me, staff refused, per their TOS re: dragon ownership (once it leaves the original owner's lair, ownership is forfeit, so technically they weren't mine anymore). The final case I can think of here is when a user known best for their darker lore and was widely disliked for it being 'problematic' (see: it was dark, and people did not like that) was falsely flagged for multiaccounting and had their account locked, and staff eventually just stopped responding to their emails, so they gave up on waiting and made a new account. (I know that this was false because the user who flagged them admitted to it.)
Next are the many complaints regarding accessibility. Starting at the landing page on the site, it is VERY bright- Painfully so- And those with migraines, eye issues, so on and so forth, are not permitted within site rules to even use an addon to change the way the site looks. I won't do a deep dive into the issues with this, but they claim they 'will see' about a dark mode in the future. I am somewhat photosensitive. Not in the 'rapidly flashing, bright colors can give me a seizure' way, but more in the 'this can give me a migraine' kind of way, so while it is less harmful for me to have it open in a low-lit room, it still isn't particularly pleasant. Even sites several years it's predecessor, like Dragon Cave, even have alternate color schemes for their website, so I never quite understood the logic.
That is to say that things like this are not excusable, especially the lack of a darkmode and basic accessibility features regarding familiar bonding being marginally less painful to do than clicking and pressing left on your keyboard up to 215 times (this is 100% excluding those who bond ALL of their familiars every single day. they are not being counted in here, as even if they are disabled, they are making the intentional decision to bond 1102 familiars every day even if it hurts them) and that is a 'lesser' task that one can do in maybe 5 - 15 minutes if they're on the Desktop version of the website.
The coli captcha being changed was an incredible step forward, one that I'm very pleasantly surprised we actually got. And that's why I think we need to push more on these things in a respectful way. Key emphasis on respect. You obviously won't get anywhere being too gentle and kind and letting staff get away with ableism like the lack of a darkmode and banning of those who use applications to make the screen dark so they can use the site.. It doesn't make the site out to be a very friendly website to users who suffer from various disabilities. But they are making changes to help that. Several users enjoy writing in tiny, barely visible text, so they added a 'toggle text style off or on for this post.'
I know full well that no war was ever won with kindness, but you need to avoid making a donkey of yourself on the public forums- Especially ones where the minimum age is 13. Calling staff stupid/incompetent/nasty names is hurtful, even if you DO feel that way and it's a knee-jerk reaction to the lack of accessibility they seem to be digging their heels in on, that's just not how the real world actually goes.
This is not to say that staff is exempt of criticism, if anything they need to be critiqued more than they are in constructive ways that don't come off guns blazing.
All of this is to say that staff's communication, as a whole, not just about, say, a delay or two, but rather developer updates, needs to be done much better. I feel like I should actively be seeing more developers talking about what's going on rather than just Aequorin sniping misbehaving users and locking a thread, or Undel talking about what she's wanting to update next (for the encyclopedia, full disclosure, nothing too interesting.)
Going three pages into the dev tracker I have only seen the following administrators: Aequorin, Undel, Kaepora and Mutron. Aequorin seems to do a lot of the heavy lifting regarding engaging with the community, which makes sense, she's the community manager, but I sincerely think there needs to be more communication going on, more updates and such that aren't .
I could just be saying that as I feel every website, especially sites like this where a lot of it is on the users to make the fun out of the game, could benefit from more clear, concise communication. I am not asking a lot, I don't think at least, for them to maybe get one or two more community managers and hold more regular Q&A sessions like they used to. It is not right that we need to claw at staff for some of the things that we've gotten after 10 years, and it's not right that staff needs to shake us off their legs like rabid dogs from time-to-time because of a misstep they made that makes a small and very vocal subset of the community go ballistic, which sends ripples out to other parts of the community.
That's about all I have to say. I've been writing this nonstop for almost 3 hours, and I honestly can't think of anything else I have to say. Sorry if it's disjointed/doesn't make sense at times. I guess my very last thought is I don't know what I'd do to change the issues I have. I'd say monthly updates on various aspects of the site or maybe a Q&A, as I feel that's a fair request, given that's the average amount of updates a Kickstarter game gets, but that could prove annoying, frustrating or just ineffective in practice.
But again, I want to put emphasis on this: None of this is in any way, shape or form meant to reflect badly on Stormlight Workshop as a company or it's employees. This is merely a series of opinions I have in regards to Flight Rising, Stormlight Workshop and the staff behind Flight Rising.

Unfinished Notes: Poetic FNaF Timeline Theory Part 2
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT WARNING: MATURE CONTENT WARNING: MATURE CONTENT
DISCLAIMER: I admit my theory could be wrong. I'm open to criticism. What with how much lore there is, plus the many people and their many theories to comb through, I'm also bound to have a mistake or two here in the timeline. Doesn't mean I won't come back and change it, though. Especially helps if you can point out any mistakes -- I'd be very thankful for it!
My theory is based on 2 questions.
If Michael becomes purple due to death and decay… then is William Afton also purple because of death and decay?
What if the reference to the Young & the Restless is a hint? Not just one little reference but a hint towards, at least a small part, of FNAF timeline being built around the timeline of the tv show itself? Maybe even other media, as well?
So, this is those questions expanded upon. Using promos from the Young & Restless and other various things, I will be seeking to give answers to the questions on lore in the FNAF timeline. Not everything will be word for word or year for year, I think, but there will be enough to raise an eyebrow and wonder at.
That's why I'll show it.
This takes inspiration from tons of theories formed by people such as Game Theory, Rye Toast, Shy Crow, FuhNaff, Sire Squawks, ImpulseEvan, ID's Fantasy, internet inferno, Remgames, SamBar, Xtrajoker, DMuted, ImmenseAndrew, theooftroop, and probably many more. Because they are so many, thus having lots of videos it would take a lot of time to track them all down. But, if they are videos that have a ton of views, my theory is probably inspired by it, and I have reworked or added onto those story theories in this one.
If you're wondering, I do not support Sire Squawks as I feel he is toxic. At the time I made this, I didn't quite realize that yet. I am simply giving him credit.
Please don't harass Sire Squawks. I don't condone that behaviour.
In the case of places of info and theories, like the FNaF Wiki, UCN Wiki or FNaF: The Novel Wiki, you can also expect that this theory can be inspired by those, as well.
==============
VAMPIRES ACROSS THE WORLD:
To quote from Wikipedia, under the article titled vampire, under the content of Folk Beliefs, itself having the content of Description and common attributes, from Lines 2 -3:
"Vampires were usually reported as bloated in appearance, and ruddy, purplish, or dark in colour…"
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire#Description_and_common_attributes
That purple color matches up with both William and Michael.
To quote from Wikipedia, under the page of Upiór (A Slavic or Turkic Vampire), under the content of In Slavic culture, within paragraph 1, from lines 8 to 12:
"The death of an unbaptized child, a violent or an untimely death, or the death of a grievous sinner (such as a sorcerer or murderer) were all grounds for a soul to become unclean after death. A soul could also be made unclean if its body were not given a proper burial. Alternatively, a body not given a proper burial could be susceptible to possession by other unclean souls and spirits. Slavs feared unclean souls because of their potential for taking vengeance."
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upi%C3%B3r#In_Slavic_culture
As we get through the theory, you'll see I may use many of these reasons for a vampire to made out of the characters in FNaF. And even others I will also discuss later down the line when we get to the case of Michael's death.
To quote from Wikipedia, from a page titled Human guise, under the content of In religion, mythology, and folklore, from paragraph 4, Line 1:
"Monsters like vampires and werewolves could purportedly take human form at certain times…"
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_guise#In_religion,_mythology,_and_folklore
This may make more sense as to one of the ways Michael and William are able to disguise themselves whence commiting murders. They move their flesh around to resemble a human that looks nothing like them.
==============
WILLIAM -- ISN'T HE REALLY SMART?:
So, you're probably asking why William doesn't just make certain animatronics as the Funtimes right away?
I just think the idea didn't come to him until a certain time.
Consider how much stress William was probably going through; what with trying to murder and hide his murders. I'll bet his mind was DEFINTELY even worse off due to that. I wouldn't blame him if he tried putting on one of his kid's shoes instead of his own.
So, it's really a miracle that he even came up with these ideas in the first place. If you could call his ideas such a thing.
Also, my theory postulates that Mr. Hippo is William. Going off from that, it kinda shows how William is a little absent-minded. So, there's another reason.
Also, even geniuses can't think of everything. That, too.
The same thing about stress could also be said for, really, ANYONE else in the series, as well.
=====================
1987:
Arcade game Bunbarians is released by Springle Inc.
This mirrors the release of Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior in 1987 by Palace Software, where you could choose from two characters to play as, unlike Barbarian from 1987 by Psygnosis.
Info on Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarian:_The_Ultimate_Warrior#Gameplay
New animatronic Lolbit is finished being created for Circus Baby's. A variant of Funtime Foxy with highlights colored orange and purple.
Tyson "Tenny" Murray, the son of Edwin Murray and Jenny Emily, turns 14.
William disguises himself via vampiric powers and crashes a white van into Tyson as he crosses the street to save David, who is chasing a ball, from oncoming traffic. Tyson dies.
This parallels David's death in The Mimic at age 4 to a white van running him over.
Link to info on this story from FNaF Wiki (Paragraph 2, Line 6 and Paragraph 5, Lines 5 -6): https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/The_Mimic_(Story)#Plot
Michael turns 18.
The Rocket House's new animatronic band is finished being built.
The animatronics to debut at Rocket House would be the band known as the P. Goons, consisting of Roxanne Wolf, Neon, Purple Geist and Jangle. Neon's name represented Glamrock; it resembled a yellow alien. Purple Geist represented Death Metal -- it resembled a purple ghost. Jangle was named after Jangle Rock; it looked to be a two-headed, spiked and reddened dinosaur with long necks. Roxanne Wolf was simply representative rock, she not only played the band's role of keytar player but also looked after the go-kart racers at the venue, even going so far as to race with them.
Info on the meaning of Geist from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/geist#English
Roxanne Wolf being made by Conor matches up poetically with his namesake: lover of wolves/dogs.
The Toy Animatronics are finished.
The Toy Animatronics consist of Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, Toy Freddy, Funtime Foxy. They are also a rockband. Instead of their leathery shells, they end up with shiny, plastic ones, similar to the Mediocre Melodies. The only really noticable differences in the animatronics are Toy Bonnie, appearing now a Blue color. Then there is Funtime Foxy, seeming now a clown with pink and white fur.
JJ and Balloon Boy would also be reused for the restaurant alongside the Puppet.
The animatronics for Twister's Diner are also finished. The animatronics that would debut were Twister the Wolfdog, Dee Dee the Fisherman, Crabapple, Colossal, Seaweed, and Seagoon. Dee Dee resembled Balloon Boy -- she wore a shirt that was striped yellow and pink. Crabapple looked no different from a crab save for the apple colors it sported. Colossal was a white giant squid. Seaweed didn't resemble what it was named after -- instead it was a tubular slime. Seagoon was much like a Jellyfish, save that is had a face seeming like the stereotypical school-drawing of a skull bereft of a jaw, even beset with sharp teeth.
Why do I believe the enemies from Lilygear Lake in FNaF World are from this Diner? Well, Colossal is a word that comes from Greek. The music for this stage is also the same as Dee Dee's Fishing Hole. Also, Dee Dee is a fisherman, which fits the theme of the restaurant and is why she is here.
Info on the word Colossal from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/colossal#English
Info on Lilygear Lake's music from FNaF Wiki (Bullet point 2): https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Lilygear_Lake#Trivia
Twister was modeled after the mascot for the diner and thus was referencing a Greek myth about a dog which could never fail to capture it's hunt and a fox that could never be caught in hunt. One day, the dog was sicked on the fox. Realizing the paradox that was created, the god known as Zeus turned to stone both dog and fox, after which he threw them into space whence they became the star knwon as Canis Major and Canis Minor.
The dog was named Laelaps, which means Twister.
Link to info on Laelaps' story from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laelaps_(mythology)
Link to info on Laelaps name from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BB%CE%B1%E1%BF%96%CE%BB%CE%B1%CF%88#Ancient_Greek
Twister was also a fisherman, in reference to another Greek myth concerning the god known as Glaucus. He was once human, a fisherman, before he ate a herb that turned him into a half-fish sea god who became the patron of Fisherman. The herb he swallowed was called by some Dog's Tooth.
Link to info on Glaucus from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucus#Origin (Lines 2-7) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucus#The_herb (Line 3)
Twister's name also lines up with Twisted Wolf, which is why I choose this name. Not to mention, there the appearance of Sparky in FNaF, as we've discussed. So, I just combining those, I got Wolfdog.
After the closure of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza a couple of years ago, Conor Skenes holds the grand reopening of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in June, stationed with the Toy Animatronics and the old Fazbear Animatronics. Due to becoming withered from no use whatsoever in the past years, the Fazbear Animatronics are now named the Withered Animatronics. While the Toy Animatronics are actually used to entertain, the Withered Animatronics are not; they are kept out of sight and used mostly for spare parts.
The refurbished pizzeria is also rebuilt with doors this time, once again, to save on money. Also, this is the reason the Withered Animatronics were used for spare parts instead of buying new parts. Luckily, this helps them maintain the electricity in their steads!
YAY!
Conor begins to record phone messages for employees on the nightshift, informing them about the job and any updates.
Due to children constantly taking apart Funtime Foxy, the workers at Freddy's give up with trying to put it back together and simply make it an animatronic that is able to be taken apart and rearranged in different ways. It is thus named Mangle because of this, since it ends up resembling a mangle of parts like legs and limbs and even an extra head.
The arcade game Mangle's Quest is released by Springle Inc.
This mirrors the release date of Castlevania II: Simon's quest.
Dracula literally means Dragon and a dragon is featured on the arcade cabinent. In the same art, we see Mangle wielding a shortsword -- similar to the one Simon wields. Simon's body began to decay due to Dracula's curse, as we learn in Simon's quest. Mangle's body is a mess. Screenshots of Simon's quest when compared to the 8-bit Mangle's Quest have similarities, as well, what with their windows and platforms. Also, in the same 8-bit game, Mangle has to collect it's body parts whilst Simon has to collect Dracula's body parts.
Info on Simon's quest from Castlevania Wiki: https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Castlevania_II:_Simon%27s_Quest (Date of Release, Top, Paragraph 1, Line 3 -4)) https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Castlevania_II:_Simon%27s_Quest/Gallery#Screenshots https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Simon_Belmont#Castlevania_II:_Simon's_Quest (Info on story. Paragraph 1, Line 1)

William uses his vampiric powers to disguise himself as the human Fritz Smith. He then applies for a security guard job on the Night Shift at Freddy's and starts his work on the June 1st. Just like always, William kills and stuffs kids into the animatronics to create more remnant.
William/Fritz tampers with the Toy Animatronics as he once did with the Fazbear Animatronics.
To solve this saftey concern, Fazbear Entertainment supplies their nightstaff with a flashlight to shine at the animatronics and a mask to wear. Flashing the light causes the animatronics systems to reboot due to defect in the programming. And because the employees wear the mask, it will make the animatronics think they are already in a suit and leave them alone.
William begins tampering with the animatronics so they recognize normal employees in the daytime as actual criminals.
FNAF 2 Minigame "Save Them" occurs: One night, William gets cocky and doesn't even wear the Spring Bonnie suits whilst he murders, convinced that his Shadow Animatronics will help keep him hidden from anything and everyone. Withered Freddy tries to stop William from murdering, but fails.
What William doesn't realize is that it was a mistake to start stuffing kids into Fredbear/Cassidy ever since 1985 to collect remnant.
The remnant from these corpses being stuffed into Fredbear had, after all, given Fredbear enough power now to only see past the illusions of the Shadow Animatronics but match up to them in strength. Figuring out what William was really doing, Fredbear tries to murder him again and again in a rage. Because these attacks from Fredbear, on an account of his overpower as a ghost, are too much to handle for William, he requests a move from the nightshift to the dayshift.
William enlists the help of Michael again in his murders. He tells him to take the nightshift.
William warns Michael about the animatronics AI tamperings that affect them at night. William makes Michael aware that these new tamperings can't be fixed fast enough, since it would take weeks or months to retrain the AI to make it how it was before the tamperings.
William KNOWS the animatronics are more dangerous during the day than at night. I think this is because the animatronics at night have SO much more room to roam, what with the WHOLE Pizzeria at their leisure, and thus have fewer chances of getting Michael. But in the day, the staff are confined to just one room with MANY animatronics in it. Fewer distance between them and those animatronics makes death more likely.
PLUS, the nightshift has ways of defending onesself against the animatronics. The dayshift doesn't because it hasn't ever occured.
William can survive due to his healing powers as a vampire, so he has nothing to worry about.
Michael isn't in the same boat… yet.
FNAF 2 occurs: Michael begins working the nightshift on June 8th under the disguise of Jeremy Fitzgerald. Poetic that FNaF 2 takes place 2 years after FNaF 1, right?
Seeing the Shadow Animatronics in action and likely FEELING they could use more of their spiritual power (Which they recieved from more murdered children being stuffed into their suits to create more remnant, which happened to add to their power, since they were already in possession of those suits), similar to how other ghosts in the series FEEL they can move into the Afterlife, the Toy Animatronics get their own idea. They create a ghostly virus that affects Freddy Fazbear's Pizza's cameras and power supply. This is so they may distract the nightguard at work or even fool him into thinking he's safe since he can't see anything in the dark… all so they can get a better shot at killing them.
Unlike in FNaF 1, although, the Toy Animatronics in FNaF don't seem to have the same level of affect on draining the energy from the lights, like the animatronics do in that other game. The light simply flickers on and off quickly for a short period of time. As to why… perhaps that lies in how the murdered kids possessing the suits aren't that good at hacking the Pizzeria's sytems with their ghostly virus, so they cannot gain full control over it.
Michael finishes his first week on the Nightshift on June 12.
During the day of June 13th, William gets cocky again and murders during the day. Even cockier, he leaves the Springlock Bonnie suit in such a way that DOESN'T EVEN seem like it wasn't moved after he's finished using it.
Michael then decides to work overtime for the night shift on June 13th. Due to Michael working when he shouldn't be, Fredbear sees this as suspicious and thus begins attacking.
Fazbear Entertainment annouces through the newspaper that they will be closing down the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza due to problems with the new animatronics. They, however, do not close right away.
On June 14th, something poetic occurs. Michael is forced to work the dayshift again since the restaurant is losing employees. And this time… instead of William, MICHAEL suffers a bite into his frontal lobe by the animatronic known as Mangle. Despite having his frontal lobe being bitten into, Michael is able to survive but suffers dysarthria, which causes him to have a speech impediment.
This speech impediment I believe to be present in the speech from Michael to his father in the Springtrap Cutscene from Sister Location.
Link to the audio from the FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Michael_Afton#Audio
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closes down and the techs try their hardest to work on the animatronics before they are moved over to Circus Baby's to either be scrapped or fixed up in order to make sure the employees at Circus Baby's don't get killed whilst working on the animatronics.
FNaF 2: Custom Night occurs: The night shift at Freddy's is then taken up by Fritz Smith/William, who tampers with the animatronics to make them kill the technicians working on them.
Michael, despite still being in recovery, is forced by his father to go home and watch over Circus Baby lest she acts up without his watch.
During one of these intercom talks between Michael and Baby, Baby begins to beg Michael to let her interact with just herself and one child so she may kill. It's a part of her programming and it HURTS her not to follow it. The longer she goes without it, the longer it HURTS Baby.
Michael knew his father told always him to refuse Baby whenever she said this since it meant killing someone but Michael couldn't get over the fact that he was, once again, causing one of his siblings to be hurt. The reason he might have done this now instead of all past times he'd interacted with Baby was likely due to not be healed enough from his injuries to properly follow a line of reason.
And so, Michael lets Circus Baby near a child in a place where they can both be alone and be nowhere near any visible cameras, whereupon she scoops it into her chest cavity, killing it. The workers at the Circus Baby's Rentals discover the corpse before Michael can get to it and decide to have Baby destroyed by scooping. In their next intercom conversation, Baby reveals to Michael that she is soon to be scooped.
This mirrors the Candy Cadet story about the Five Kittens, where the boy can't bear to let his snake go hungry and thus let's it eat a kitten he found. Because of the boy's regret, he kills the snake.

This causes Michael to call William about it.
So, William told Michael to lie about his experience and actual identity in order to get a maintenance job at Circus Baby's Rentals. William said there would be no stopping the scooping from happening. So, Michael would have to take out a keycard from the original Circus Baby's suit in order to access the Private Room where Michael could fuse that same keycard of old Circus Baby into the new Circus Baby animatronic that would be created after she is scooped. William then said the last thing to do would be to let Circus Baby free from the Rentals place so she could do whatever she wanted.
After all, Circus Baby was built with two keycards, which both acted as separate AI chips. One controlled the part that caused the animatronics to kill, whereas the other simply allowed them to think and speak. The keycard that Michael would retrieve was "the good part of Baby" since it didn't contain the murderous AI. Thus, when inserted into the new Circus Baby, alongside the removal of the first "bad part" keycard, it would allow Elizabeth to simply live without having to kill.
FNAF Sister Location begins on June 15th as Michael gets employed under the disguise of Mike Eccles. Due to the animatronics thinking Michael is William (Since, in his current age, he resembles him so much), they hatch plans with Circus Baby to kill him to avenge their deaths caused by William and, ultimately, their imprisonment and torture in Circus Baby's.
Why the surname Eccles? It sounds similar to Eggs, the first part of Eggs Benedict, which is a name the HandUnit from FNaF chooses to call Mike after a glitch.
After all the Funtimes are scooped and Circus Baby is to be next, she simply pretends to deactivate herself so that she may be scooped without the employees turning on the Scooper's technology that holds in place any animatronic is about to be scooped so they do not escape. This way, she is able to use the Scooper in such a way that she can only remove her suit whilst being able to keep her endoskeleton unharmed.
She also kills the technicians scooping her, so that they can never report that Circus Baby was successfully scooped. She then reports through the technicians' handunits, and thus to the managers of Circus Baby's, that something is wrong with the Scooper, so they'll have to repair it and put off scooping Circus Baby until the machine is fixed.
Circus Baby then combines her endoskeleton with the survivng endoskeletal parts of the scooped Funtimes to become the animatronic conglomerate known as Ennard. Ennard then sets up Circus Baby's empty suit in maintenance and using the ghostly virus to order Michael to come do maintenance on Circus Baby.
When Michael arrives to conduct his maintenance on Circus Baby, Ennard hides behind her and the Circus Baby inside of Ennard uses her voice in order to convince Michael that she is still inside the empty suit. Ennard then convinces Michael to take that "good-sided" keycard from inside Circus Baby's suit, seemingly informing Michael that she knows what William's plan is. Lying that the keycard allows Circus Baby to talk through it, Ennard then follows Michael in the shadows as it tries to guide him to the Scooper room to have his insides scooped out since Ennard intended to wear Michael skin, planning to try and live normally as a human.
Michael doesn't listen, although, and goes the route to the Private Room, where he finds it right where William said it would be. To his surprise, Ennard's plan is partially revealed as it then tries to get into the Private Room through the rooms around it to forcibly take Michael to the Scooping Room. Meanwhile, Michael is informed by the systems of the Rentals' place that he should wait there until the night is over for technicians to grab him, where he will then be fired due to ingesting the same fright gas that William made so long ago.
Ennard had hooked it up to the ventilation to make Michael mess up on defending himself with the doors of the Private Room that kept animatronics out so that they could capture him. The systems of the Rentals' place had detected this fright gas.
Despite being under the gas's influence, Michael is able to survive the night without getting captured (Perhaps the fright gas can't properly affect Michael due to his brain damage?) and the technicians come to save him. Michael then goes home to contemplate just WHAT was going on? He mistakenly thinks that Ennard simply wished to kill him, and because of what Ennard said that whole night, he comes to believe that they wanted to kill him because they thought he was William!
Why… would the Funtimes want to kill William when he supposedly SAVED them!? Even Elizabeth!
Michael's whole reality truly shatters.
Michael finally realizes it -- those controlled shocks the Funtimes had to endure when they left their stages to wander and whatnot… and even when they WEREN'T acting up. Michael never really thought about due to all the stress from trying to keep alive and even just not being healed up enough yet. The Funtimes kept wandering out NOT ONLY because of their programming causing them to seek someone to kill by their lonesome… it was also because they WANTED OUT!
NONE of the children William killed EVER willingly wanted to die. And his father, he… MADE him help KILL more PEOPLE -- even TORTURE his past victims AFTER their DEATHS!
William…. was JUST as EVIL as Henry, if not worse!
Michael then decides to stop following his father's orders; to seek attonement by trying to set free the child victims and his brother's soul so that they can move on to the afterlife.
He prepares himself for this attonement by searching his father's notes for a way to free William's victims.
Fire is how Michael thinks to do it. It actually isn't totally proven that it works in helping ghosts pass on -- but it's all Michael has to go off of. He'll burn the animatronics by tampering with them so that they end up trapped inside the restaurants which he intends to burn down.
This also mirrors the To The Rooftop Ending from Security Breach, where Glamrock Freddy says he sees Vanessa for what she really is and decides to burn the Pizzaplex down.
Link to info on this ending from the FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Endings?so=search#To_The_Rooftop_Ending
As Michael then sits down that night to watch TV, determined to break into Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals the next day to act out his plans. After all, he was too exhausted from all the stress from everything. He NEEDED to be at his best for when it all went down.
And that was when… Ennard, who should've been handled by the workers at Circus Baby's, started to shamble towards Michael as he sat in his chair watching the TV. Ennard successfully captured Michael and dragged him to the Scooper (Or dragged him to the crusher, if you prefer), where he dies. Ennard then slips on into Michael's empty body and begins to live as him.
The staff leftover at Circus Baby's, meanwhile, create new endos for a new set of Funtime Animatronics, which are just copies of the old ones. Thus, the Rentals place continues to run.
The Withereds are finally then sent over to Circus Baby's to be repaired since they had advanced tech that could get it done fast, whilst the Toys are simply stored away in the backrooms just like the Withereds once were.
Fnaf 4 End-of-Nights 1-5 minigames take place.
On a stormy night, William then sneaks into Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals where he tries to dismantle the Fazbear Animatronics for remnant collection. Using the Shadow Animatronics help, he lures them into an ambush where he uses the Scooper to break them into pieces. William, although, fails to use their remnant.
After all, William is confronted in the saferoom of Circus Baby's by the ghosts of the Missing Children and Cassidy, who were empowered enough by repeated remnant creation through the use of more murders in the same suits they were possessing to leave the suits. They trick him into putting on the Springlock Bonnie suit. Due to a hole in the ceiling that led to the outside just above where William stored his Spring Bonnie suit, rainwater falls through it and drips onto the springlocks… granting William his second death.
William's spirit then possesses the Springlock Bonnie suit.
This now earns him the name… Springtrap.
Springtrap plays dead so as to not make things worse before the spirits of his victims.
Minigame "Happiest Day" occurs: Now thinking Springtrap dead, the Puppet works together with the spirits of victims of William that had been brought to Circus Baby's to give Cassidy's spirit the good birthday party he never had. They succeed… and thus move on.
But not for long, since Springtrap has Lucifer's gift.
These victims are soon forced out of the afterlife and their memories become altered, convincing them that Springtrap was the one who helped them possess the animatronics to seek revenge instead of the Puppet. The one who killed them them wasn't Springtrap, it was the employees of Fazbear Entertainment. Because of this, these set of Springtrap's victims would now do everything in their power to kill workers of Fazbear Entertainment… and thus help Springtrap collect remnant along the way.
This mirrors the FNaF movie, where William is able to make the animatronics forget that he was the one who slew them and kill for him.
Link to this info from the FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/William_Afton_(Film)#History (Paragraph 4, Lines 1-3)
Springtrap is quickly found by the workers at Circus Baby's before he can escape the saferoom, causing him to play dead once again so as to not make things worse. This only ends up letting the workers board up the saferoom, making it so Springtrap becomes stuck there.
Conor finds out from the workers about Springtrap, causing him to lie about mulitple springlock failures occuring simultaneously at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, which he uses as reasoning to get the workers at Fazbear Entertainment to stop using the Springlock suits until they can find a way to repair their failures. In the meantime, they begin to store the Springlocks in the backrooms. The franchise's restaurants then began searching for new suits for their employees to wear until they can get the Springlocks fixed. This leads them to finding the mascot costumes worn for Fredbear's Diner before any animatronics were created.
Conor then had all other saferooms sealed off, so that it set a precedent that NONE of the saferooms were to be entered. They were also never to be mentioned to inspectors, friends or family ever again by employees of the establishment. This way, noone would accidentally try to open the saferoom with Springtrap in it.
Conor eventually decides to just retire the Springlock suits instead of fixing them. They thus stayed stored in the backrooms of the restaurants in the franchise.
Animatronic Electrobab is finished being created for Circus Baby's. A variant of bidybab fit with glowing eyes that twinkle from on to off.
Bonnet is moved over to Circus Baby's.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza reopens after the Withered Animatronics are rebuilt and cleaned up.
After an amount of time, Michael's skin begins to decay noticably enough that people are too afraid to even approach him. Thus, Ennard exits Michael's body into the sewer outside of his house. Michael, though, finds he can now move his body again, revealing that he, too, had turned into a vampire and was bearing witness to this all along.
The reason Michael become a vampire was due to being injected with remnant, which was left in trace amounts on the Scooper. The thing about remnant was that it could also repair, even revive humans… but not without turning them into a vampire.
This lines up with Alqonquian Folklore, where some say that humans who cannibalize transform into evil spirits called the Wendigo. This is similar to vampires who drink blood.
Since remnant comes from the spirit/body of someone, using it can be considered a form of cannibalism.
Info on the Wendigo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo#Human_cannibalism
Michael knows exactly what to do now. After all, the Circus Baby part of Ennard had told him that she KNEW he wouldn't die just before Michael was scooped. Thus, she didn't really want to kill William. If she did, she would've found a way that would actually keep him dead, right?
Therefore, she'd naturally want whatever William wants, right?
William wanted the Funtimes to stay within Circus Baby's. So, naturally, she was going to eventually convince them to return to Circus Baby's.
Michael then returns to Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals on July 1st, where he takes on another disguise and becomes a guard for the Nightshift. He calls himself Mike Endicott.
Why Mike Endicott? Sounds similar to the Benedict part of Eggs Benedict, the nickname that Michael gets from HandUnit. Poetic, right?
Circus Baby begins to become very bossy towards the Funtimes in Ennard, whereupon she soon ramps it all up by forcing the rest of the Funtime Animatronics within Ennard to continue William's work of killing kids instead of letting them try to find out how to overcome their programming to slaughter, build human-like robot bodies, and live normally. Circus Baby didn't want freedom for freedom's sake, she wanted to escape simply to continue William's work so he would be proud of her.
Michael wouldn't discover this part of Baby's secrets untill it was too late.
After Baby accidentally (another ruse) reveals the only way to stop her is to eject her from Ennard using the Scooper, the rest of Ennard then fights against Baby and runs over to Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals to do just that.
Ennard arrives at the Scooping Room and is scooped by Michael himself. Michael then separates the Funtimes and fuses them into the new Funtime Animatronics.
Michael then set Circus Baby free since he couldn't bear to kill another one of his siblings -- and again, he'd removed the "bad-sided" keycard, so Circus Baby would be harmless, right?
Sister Location: Custom Night Golden Freddy Mode Difficulty V occurs on June 29th: Michael then tampers with the endoskeletons of leftover Funtimes and Springlocks at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals so they can barely move and thus cannot escape whilst he burns the place down, and hopefully, them inside it.
Due to the fire melting them together and thus breaking their forms enough to escape their tamperings, the leftover Funtime Animatronics are able to escape Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals before they are completely destroyed. They become known as Molten Freddy, due to having only the casing of Funtime Freddy left from their partial destruction by the fire.
William, or Springtrap now, was able to escape his boarded up room through the help of the fire set to Circus Baby's. He would then begin work on designing a new technology utilizing Lucifer's gift. He would call it the Illusion Disc, which causes anyone wearing one to appear as something different from their original form through using high-pitched frequencies to mess with the brains of those in the vicinity of the illusion disc.
Michael then tries calling William to tell him that he followed his plans… and also warn him that he was going to find him and make him pay, since he'd found out the truth. William doesn't answer his phone, so Michael leaves him a message. Springtrap then finds his phone and listens to the voicemail from Michael… intending to one day turn Michael's words against him when they face each other again in what will most likely end up in one of them dying -- again. Maybe but maybe not right away…
Circus Baby then begins to rebuild herself using scraps thrown out by Fazbear Entertainment to assist in her murders as she wanders around Hurricane, Utah. She thus becomes known as Scrap Baby, with noticable design changes being razor-pointed scissors for a hand and her new use of roller blades.
Why this year for Sister Location? Well it mirrors the release year of Never Gonna Give You Up, from which supposedly came the photo used for Michael's shadow in one of Sister Location's endings.

Back to the story:
Mike the gets a job at Freddy's again on June 30 as Mike Collins where he burns the Fazbear Animatronics, Fredbear, and the Toy Animatronics within it.
Except the Puppet, who is able to escape and begin wandering around Hurricane.
Why the surname Collins for Mike's false identity? Well, the Collins surname comes from a Fazbear Fright's story called You're the Band. In this story, Mike is working at Freddy's and save the Collins family from death via animatronics. The Puppet is present at the restaurant but the toy animatronics are not. This matches up with the current story we have going where the toys were scrapped and the Withereds were fixed up.
Link to the Plot and Characters of You're the Band from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/You%27re_the_Band#Characters https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/You%27re_the_Band#Plot
They Toys and the Fazbears don't pass on, although, and their spirits, that resemble burnt animatronics, begin haunting Michael, as well.
The same occurs with Fredbear, becoming instead a phantom resembling Fredbear and, due to recognizing Michael as a Fazbear employee because of Lucifer's gift, begins to haunt Michael, tormenting him with nightmares about Cassidy's memories of dealing with the Nightmare Animatronics.
As to why I think this… well, we do see Phantom Animatronics from FNAF 2 and FNAF 1 later on in FNAF 3. Perhaps they aren't just hallucinations. Even after burning, the spirits of those burned animatronics went on to haunt Michael.
As to why these Phantoms only show up when the ventilation isn't well-handled… that's not completely true. Some of the Phantom Animatronics show up BEFORE the ventilation goes hayware, such as Freddy. And… they also seem to CAUSE the ventilation to go awry.
As, after all, when some of these Phantoms show up before the ventilation is bad, they seem to immediately cause the systems to begin having problems after they jumpscare Michael.
And also they are called phantoms instead of hallucinations, so there is that.
Link to DMuted's video about the Phantom Animatronics for the info (2:04 into the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGGVxjft3x4
Mike then disguises himself and gets a job at Pizza Playground, burning down the place and it's animatronics. The mask of Montgomery Gator, which is still possessed by Andrew, survives the fire and ends up in the police department annex in Hurricane where it is stored alongside other things from different crime scenes throughout history. Meanwhile, the spirtis of the completely destroyed Mediocre Melodies start haunting Michael.
To help stave off the loss of money from damages to Freddy's, Fazbear Entertainment Inc. begins selling off animatronics, left over merchandise only sold for a small timeframe, and even proto-type merchandise to collectors.
Lally's Lollies starts rebuilding.
Springle Inc. releases a dating sim game for the FES called Toy Chica's Highschool Years.
This mirrors the release of Nakayama Miho no Tokimeki High School by Nintendo and Square, which was a dating sim game which featured pop idol Miho Nakayama in it.
Toy Chica, after all, is similar to an idol, seeing as she's part of the Toy Animatronics band.

During Christmas, Vera and Dan, Billy Beavis' parents, are heard arguing over something by Billy. Dan thinks Billy has made their life nothing more than miserable, so they should institutionalize him. Vera says she won't, believing Billy's fantasy soon to finish.
Dan leaves his family two days after.
Vera then comments on Billy's growth over the years. Don't animatronics usually stay the way they were made forever? Billy replies that he's better than the current state of the art, so he can grow all he wants.
Soonafter, Billy starts to expand his animatronic behaviour. He starts letting steel tables replace the usual bed. Black and grey are the only colors he wears, not to mention white food and white food only is what he wants to swallow. After all, colors don't digest fast enough for animatronics, in Billy's words.
==============
1990:
Billy Beavis starts attending Seventh Grade. Hitting home after the first day in, Billy tells his mom he wants to stay home. After all, Billy believes that studying books from the library at home has less chances to cause major disruption to his learning. Vera Beavis agrees after Billy exhibits a bit of emotion, hugging his mother after she shares a heart-rending phone call with someone, scared that Billy may never change with no children around him to simulate.
Delilah Roxas turns 18 and takes back her original surname of Roxas.

The rebuilding of Lally's Lollies completes, causing it to reopen.
Springtrap begins working at Lally's Lollies under a disguise via illusion disc.
Lally's Game (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs: Springtrap possesses Little Lally Joe using a spiritual virus and sends the animatronic over to Edwin's house, where it plays hide and seek with David Sean Murray and ends up killing him. Edwin then comes home and traps Lally in a trunk and reports David missing. Jenny then gets suspicious of the trunk, thinking that maybe Edwin had killed David and had hidden his corpse in the trunk. She opens it and releases Lally while Edwin's out of the house.
Edwin then comes home and sneaks up behind Jenny, putting a hand to her mouth and telling her to be quiet so that Lally doesn't find them both. After all, the game is only for two, Edwin tries to tell her… but before he can finish saying the rest of his sentence and revealing that if Lally finds out they are both there then one of them will die before the game finishes, Jenny mistakenly believes Edwin means to kill her and so knocks him out.
Jenny ends up slain. Luckily, Edwin is able to lock up Lally again before it can get to Jessica. Just like David, he reports Jenny missing. Jessica, although begins to become suspicious of the trunk, as well, and dies by Lally's hands in the end, too.
Why this year of 1992?
Well, the phrase "the game is only for two" is repeated 4 times throughout this story.
Info on this from FNaF Wiki (Paragraph 5, Liens 6 -7 and Paragraph 6, Lines 4-5 and Paragraph 7, Line 3): https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Lally%27s_Game#Plot
Why do I believe this to be Edwin's story? One of the main characters known as Cade has a family member named Janice. Jenny originates from Jane -- same place as Janice. Meanwhile, the other main character of Selena has a family member named David.

By the way, I switched around the plot a little bit with timelines and characters to fit Edwin's story.
In a drunken rage, Edwin invades the factory for the Funtime Animatronics to find the blueprints on Little Joe Lally and have the animatronic kill Michael Afton in revenge. As he looks around, Edwin discovers the blueprints for life-like robots made by William and decides to take them instead. Edwin uses them to make replicas of his family members that had recently died and "went missing".
Unlike William, although, Edwin was simply satisfied with them being replicas and took no effort to collect remnant and bind their souls to the robots.
Lally escapes the trunk again and frames Edwin for new murders. As a result, Edwin goes on the run from police. During this time, Edwin encounters a thief who tries to kill him. As a result, Edwin ends up killing the thief in self-defence. Due to being slashed up, Edwin discovers that he can warp his flesh around when he tries to tend to his wounds.
Poetic, this being another time he was slashed up, right?
As a result, Edwin uses his vampiric powers to look exactly like the dead thief and thus takes up the identity of Jack Burrows.
This lines up with Edwin being called Jack in the Puppet Carver. Also, Mr. Burrows is a character that often butts heads with Edwin in the Tales From the Pizzaplex story of the Storyteller. Since I actually believe Mr. Burrows to be Sammy Emily instead, I think this name is for the thief instead.
They both fight, after all.

Springtrap takes on a disguise via illusion disc to work at Twister's Diner, where he begins to kill more children and stuff them into animatronics.
Phone Guy is stuffed into the Twister the Wolfdog animatronic suit after being killed by Springtrap. Due to realizing how utterly, truly poetic this situation is, God sees no other choice than to turn the now-possessed Twister into the angel known as Old Man Consequences, whom resembled now a red dog. Old Man Consequences was then ordered to work the job of teaching the consequences to Springtrap by hindering his plans.
Old Man Consequences then creates the Flipside, which is a sort of realm that he brings the victims of Willuam into by fishing their spirits out from their bodies while they sleep. Therein, he tries to undo the mind control on them. And so it would go, back and forth would OMC free the victims only for Lucifer's Gift to retake hold of them again.
Conor's wife takes back her old surname of Snodgrass, causing her son to become Steve Snodgrass.
Mike begins to hear the usual strange reports from customers that occur after children are stuffed into animatronics and begin to possess them, which causes Mike to disguise himself and get a job at Twister's Diner. To get Mike off his back, Springtrap sends two of his shadow animatronics to begin haunting Mike, which puts Mike into a coma.
FNaF 4: Halloween Edition occurs over the week featuring Halloween: The Phantom Animatronics + two Shadow Animatronics put Mike through nightmares in the shoes of Cassidy up against old and new Nightmare Animatronics at the Afton House. OMC enter the nightmare and uses his anglic powers to give Mike ways to survive the nightmares.
These new animatronics are Nightmare Mangle, Nightmare Balloon Boy, Nightmarionne (Another form of Shadow Puppet), and Nightmare (Another form of Shadow Freddy, whose Endoskeleton can also be seen due to being mostly see-through).
Springtrap stops murdering at Twister's Diner and uses an illusion disc to disguise himself as a human and purchase Fazbear Entertainment.
Springtrap orders not only the rebuilding of Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals but also an expansion to it above ground. He also renames it to Circus Baby's Pizza World once again.
Springtrap then orders the building of a new location called Freddy's Fantasy Water Park. He begins to design the animatronics, meant to swim around, for the water park himself. He installs illusions discs in the animatronics.
Why do I believe there to be illusion discs within the animatronics at the Freddy's Water Park?
Well, in the story from Tales from the Pizzaplex: Submechanophobia, where we are introduced to the waterpark, we see that whenever the main protagonist approaches the animatronics to repair them, he hears a sound like STRANGE static. This, to me, sounds similar to the high-pitched noises that the illusions discs make.

FNaF 4: Nightmare Ending occurs: Due to his efforts for completing the hardest round of nightmare scenarios, the Phantoms and Shadow Animatronics haunting Mike give up. This allows Old Man Consequences to steal from the Phantom's memories the knowledge of where lied the locked trunk for which William stored all his remnant he collected. As a result, Mike locates the box and destroys it.
This date for the rest of FNaF 4 also ends in 3 like 1983 does. Plus, this is when the Tales From the Pizzaplex story of Dittophobia's main story would occur.
Mike burns down Twister's Diner.
Arcade game Nedd Bear: Space Soldier is released by Springle Inc.

Springtrap uses illusion discs to disguise an abandoned house as a lived-in one and start a garage sale around it. He sought to sell the Ella doll made for Charlie by Henry, which Springtrap had now cursed with magicks, to Delilah so that she would die by it's curse. Poetic as ever.
Hearing about the Ella doll going missing, Michael goes online under the disguise of Phineas Taggart to search for the doll and buy it from whoever it may end up with.
1:35 AM (Story from Fazbear Frights) occurs: Delilah visits a garage sale one day, chancing upon a doll called Ella that reminds her of the child she wished she could've had. She purchases it and uses one it's few features that still worked: an alarm clock. Setting it for 1:35 pm, Delilah takes a small snooze… only to find her phone waking her up instead at 2:25 pm.
Angry at the doll's failure, she chose to lob towards a pair of 3 dumpsters, getting distracted mid-throw and thus not coming to know which dumpster it landed in. She didn't care much to find out and went to her job. Coming home, Delilah began to sleep… only to be awoken by mumbling at 1:35 am.
The next morning at 1:35 am, the same thing occured. Delilah thought it to be Ella, since the window she heard the whispering from faced the dumpsters she threw her into. Delilah realized now that she'd mistakenly set the alarm for AM intead of PM. This lead her to probe all three dumpsters, whereupon she ended up empty-handed.
Tired from all that work, she gave up on checking twice. Garbage day was soon to hit, anyways, so it wouldn't stay a problem for long. Delilah was wrong, for it happened again.
The dumpsters were completely empty this time, save for a stain colored bloodly.
Again and again it kept coming -- awake at 1:35 am. Sometimes the noises were different sounds and came dissimilar places. It caused so much stress for Delilah that she ended up losing her job.
She tried bunking up with her adopted sibling Harper and Harper's theatre troupe, only for it to keep happening.
Before she left Harper's for a motel, Delilah entered into conversation about the significance of the number 135. It could stand for Angel Number 135, which if it kept appearing throughout your life, meant an angel was trying to proclaim the future to you. This future being one only ahcieved through embracing all the horrid changes that pass by, you will ultimately find a sound solution to them, making way for a good change to enter one's life.
Anyways, the motel proves to be no true escape either. Even trying to sleep in the loud noise of traffic upon a bridge didn't work. And so, Delilah tried to drive as far away as she could, down a river where she hid first in a factory drainage pipe. But unlike anything she'd ever experienced before, Delilah came into feeling an enormous amout of fear that caused her to wail, equally, like never before.
Therein, she flew from the pipe and found herself in the abandoned contruction site of Freddy's Fantasy Water Park… where she became stuck in a shaft, certain that help was NOT on the way but just as well, for the first time in a long time, ease snuck onto her as Delilah knew in her soul that Ella couldn't find her here.
END.
Why do I believe the abandoned contruction site to be Freddy's Fantasy Water Park? Well, I took notice of the book mentioning her coasting along a river on the way there. It made me think that maybe it was hinting something about the water, so what popped into my mind was that Freddy's location.
Info on the riverside drive from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/1:35_A.M.#Plot (Paragraph 8, Line 6)
Delilah is then rescued by Michael, whom had tracked Ella down to where Delilah was stuck since he'd found out that the doll was possessed by Springtrap. Michael ends up burning Ella to ash. The two old friends then reconnect and Delilah swears after almost dying to Ella that she will find a way to overcome her negativity and embrace whatever is to come.
Papa Bear's Pancake House (Originally Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which was originally JR.'s) comes to be sold off to Jeff, who rebuilds it into Jeff's Pizza.
The reason I choose this date is similar to how I explained Jeff's birthdate -- I believe he is associated with the number 5.
Circus Baby's Pizza World finishes it's rebuilding and expansion and thus opens.
This lines up with when I theorize Circus Baby's to first open in 1985, which also ends in 5, like this year.
Michael disguises himself and gets an security guard job at Circus Baby's Pizza World to investigate. His food is then infected with a ghostly pathogen created by Springtrap that Springtrap spread around the place, which causes Michael to be possessed by Springtrap and thus controlled by him. Springtrapped Michael (My name for Springtrap, whose possessing Michael) then fakes a heart attack and goes back to life without doing any damage to Springtrap's plans.
As a result, the security guard position opens up, which Stanley Miner takes.
Like the child victims that possessed the animatronics, Springtrap proved to not have full control over Michael. Every now and then the kids possessing the Fazbear Animatronics had to abide by their AI, right? Well, Springtrap eventually got tired, which opened the door for Michael to move around and do his thing.
Dance with Me (Story from Fazbear Frights) occurs: Kasey is forced out of her home to fend for herself by her adopted father and her mother. After struggling to keep jobs, Kasey decides to start stealing instead. She is then approached by Jack Burrows/Edwin, who recruits her into his gang of thieves.
Kasey accepts the offer since the gang was kind enough to learn Kasey on how to manage street life well.
Springtrap figures out that Jack is Edwin and thus sends Ballora after Kasey. Springtrap cloaks Ballora in an illusion disc so that Kasey cannot see her, thinking this death will be easy. Unluckily for Springtrap, Kasey just happens to steal a pair of glasses from the daughter of the Avery family whilst theiving out at Circus Baby's Pizza World.
These glasses were able to reveal any animatronic wearing an illusion disc, which was part of Ballora's attraction in which she would become invisible via illusion disc and anyone who would spot her whilst wearing the glasses would make her dance for them.
And so, Kasey is clued into what's going on. She flees and flees, trying to abandon a pirate's life and live earnestly instead, thinking this will stop Ballora. Ballora keeps at it, though, causing Kasey to come back to Hurricane and gift the glasses back to the Avery family she thieved it from. As a result, the Avery family doesn't press charges and even lets her sample some of their tea after it becomes clear to them that Kasey just wants to do better.
The daughter, Isabella Avery starts to dance with Ballora.
I believe Dance with Me to occur in this year due to to both Kasey spotting two 5 dollar bills in a diner. 1995 has a five in it. Wouldn't it be poetic if all these sevens were being mentioned or occuring all at this time?
Why Do I believe Edwin to be here in this story? Because the the leader of thieves really is called Jack, which lines up with the owner of Pizza Playground being called Jack in the Puppet Carver, who I theorize to be Edwin Murray.
Ballora chooses to lure Isabella back to Circus Baby's Pizza World during the night, where they enter Ballora's Fitness and Flex, resulting in Isabella being slain and thus Isbella goes missing. Kasey then becomes guilty, feeling she is reponsible for what happened and confides in Jack/Edwin about it.
As a result, Edwin disguises himself as a person called Grady and gets a job at Circus Baby's Pizza World in order to stop any more murders being made.
Cleithrophobia (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs: Grady/Edwin tests out the attraction at Circus Baby's called Ballora's Fitness & Flex to make sure it is safe. He ends up getting stuck (Another poetic encounter, which provokes Edwin's Cleithrophobia) and is forcibly pulled through the ever-narrowing, see-through tunnels by Ballora, which ultimately breaks his bones and bleeds him horribly. Edwin reaches the end and survives, since he can heal up due to being a vampire.
Edwin then disguises himself as his selfish coworker known as Tate who left him alone at the attraction against the restaurant's policy, and delivers altered tapes of him getting almost killed by the tunnels via Ballora's tugs to the public. This causes Ballora and her attraction to be closed down, especially because the body of Grady is never found. Edwin, of course, then stops working at Circus Baby's and goes back to his thief's life as Jack Burrows.
Springtrap sends Eleanor to cause the death of Jessica Murray.
To Be Beautiful (Story from Fazbear Frights' takes place: Jessica Murray finds Eleanor in a junkyard, flips her back on via switch and decides to bring her home after Eleanor promises to reward Jessica's efforts by fulfilling whatever desire she has. Eleanor then gives Jessica a heart-shaped pendant built from remnant that also bears an illusion disc, which begins to cause Jessica's appearance to become more beautiful each day.
Eleanor then uses the illusion disc as a cover while she secretly begins to take apart Jessica's robot body and replace it with simple scrap parts each night while Jessica sleeps. Thus, it becomes only a matter of time before Jessica's robot body begins showing signs of falling apart. Luckily, the pendant of remnant is actually aiding her damaged robot body from fully falling apart.
When Jessica finds out Eleanor has done to her, she runs away from home and begins living in a cemetary so as to escape from being hurt anymore by Eleanor herself. Unfortunately, Eleanor tries killing Jessica's family to lure her back home. Jessica doesn't come home despite this and begins to feel she doesn't deserve to live anymore.
This story was changed up a bit, as well to fit bitter with the next story.
After figuring out that via scrapping off silver from her pendant can seemingly bring health back to the injured and ressurect the fallen, as well, Jessica begins working at Heracles Hospital to help people there, sacrificing her own life for others, thinking this will make up for her mistake with Eleanor.
What Jessica doesn't know, although… is all these people she helps are being doomed to lives as vampires.
After hearing about Jessica running away and then taking a job at Heracles', Edwin uses his identity of Jack Burrows to get a job as an EMT at Heracles Hospital to keep an eye on Jessica.
Frailty (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs: Jessica keeps doing as she was with her pendant till Father Jeremiah, the person working at the Heracles' chapel, convinces her that life isn't only about giving to others. Not matter what mistake one has made, they can still live life rewarding themselves as much they reward others. And so, Jessica goes to prom with this guy who'd been nice to her recently called Robert. But when she leaks grease on his face and causes him to be laughed at by everyone else, Jessica runs away and uses what's left of the remnant in her pendant to save someone.
And thus she is found in the hospital by the staff, her friends and family… as nothing more than a dead pile of scrap and grease.
As a result, Edwin uses his identity as Jack Burrows to become a detective and begins investigating what happened to his daughter and get his revenge.
Once again, this story features a character called Jack (The EMT), which lines up with the Jack who owns Pizza Playground in the Puppet Carver that I theorize to be Edwin Murray.
Freddy's Fantasy Water Park resumes it's building, finishes it, and opens in Meadow Brook, Utah, a town close by Hurricane, Utah.
The animatronics featured at the park come without names. There was a sea dragon, two serpents, three sharks, one mermaid, a few fish and a squid.
This opening date lines up with some history from a UK resort park called Fantasy Island. They opened an aquarium attraction with animatronics in 1995. I believe this to be mirroring that since the parks share a similar naming scheme and because Springtrap was originally from UK.
==============
1996:
Greg Fitzgerald is born: son of Steven Fitzgerald and Hillary Skenes.
Springle Inc. releases the light gun shooter arcade game called House of the Bear.
This mirrors the release date of House of the Dead, an arcade game by Sega AM1.
Info on House of the Dead from Wikipedia (Top, Paragraph 1, Line 1): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Dead_(video_game)
Springtrap ends up killing all living members of the Dinglewood family, causing Emily Electronics to be inherited by Sammy Emily. Sammy then takes the chance to get to know the company and his family's history better by traveling to the Netherlands. He eventually decides to immigrate there, taking up residence in Amsterdam.
This mirrors the Fazbear Frights' story of The Real Jake, where Michael is described as being rich and living in Europe. Since I believe Michael and his brother Evan to be mirroring the Sammy Emily and Michael Afton (Since Michael later marries Delilah Roxas, according to my theory, and Delilah was adopted into the Emily family, so that would make Michael the brother-in-law of Sammy Emily. Also since the FNaF: Ultimate Guide draws notice to this theory held by other fans and character Michael's similar unhumanity that could definitely fit for the vampiric Michael Afton), this is why I think this happened.
Info on The Real Jake from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Michael_(The_Real_Jake)#History https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Michael_(The_Real_Jake)#Personality https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Michael_(The_Real_Jake)#cite_ref-3
Stanley Miner's girlfriend, Amber, breaks up with him both because he proved to be boring to her and since their relationship hadn't blossomed into anything more yet. This puts Stanley into a depression, causing him to become lazy.
Michael begins dating Amber.
Room for One More (Story from Fazbear Frights) occurs: While sleeping on his security guard job at Circus Baby's Pizza World, Stanley is shocked out of sleep due to the motion sensor alarm blaring to life in his office. He looks around as much he can, because, after all, his job is to make sure nothing gets past the sensors and thus outside of the building. Stanley finds nothing in the end, letting himself go back to dozing off.
Two hours pass until he's woken again, finding a minireena on his desk. Stanley decides to game around with the doll, even talk to it, since he's lonely. After a while, the minireeena asks to be taken to his house.
Stanley thinks about it before slumbering again, seemingly ignoring the consequences.
This situation repeats night after night with Stanley falling back to sleep before he truly makes the decision to take the minireena home, only to find it has left his office. And day after day, Stanley begins to find his body has begun to swell up so much that he has to cut himself free from his security uniform one day. And his throat is bleeding, as well. Despite what's occuring to him, Stanley makes the wrong decision every time: putting off going to the doctor, working when's barely able for the job because of his condition.
This poor decisions all just end up hurting Stanley until it seems he comes into a situation he can't survive.
One night, he wakes to find a minireena climbing in his mouth. It causes him to remember how he'd realized not too early in his shift that night how each minireena he saw on his individual night shifts was a different one. In horror, Stanley finally gets why he's become like this.
The minireenas had all slipped into his body.
Stanley then books it for the exit, causing the minreenas in his body wriggle about so that he falls to the ground out of pure pain's tiredness. That's when another minireena, whom watched him while his body writhed and asked him if there wasn't room for one more… lunged at Stanley whilst he screamed.
END.
I believe this story to occur here because of info we get from the story itself. Stanley has been working at Circus' Baby's Pizza World for a year and a half. He also sleeps for half his shift -- almost every time. This maybe stressing the number 6 -- which matches up 6 months, as in half a year. Also lines up with 1996.
Info on Room for One More from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Room_for_One_More?so=search#Plot (Paragraph 1, Line 1 and Paragraph 2, Line 2)
Who do I believe the character of Stanley to have the last name of Miner? Well, like other characters we've seen throughout my theories, they all seem to have names that reference animatronics they've come into contact in some way. Miner, of course, sounds similar to minireena.
Also, this name seems poetically fitting for Stanley, since his name means rock meadow, and what with how lots of his choices in the story just end up hurting him, you could say he is mining the stones in his meadow.
Link to info from Wiktionary on the name of Stanley: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Stanley
Back to the story.
Just when it seems he'll suffer a death… Stanley is saved by a technician called Mavis Avila, whom just entered the building early to conduct her shift. Mavis acts fast and rips out an electrical wire from to scare the Minireenas out from Stanley's body. To pay her back, Stanley then helps Mavis find a new job, causing her to aid him the same.
Through this, they begin to grow close and start dating.
Due to the electrical wire being left exposed, it later starts a fire at Circus Baby's, which burns it down and the business next to it in the underground and above.
Billy Beavis becomes 18. One of the visitors to the birthday Party is Dr. Lingstrom, who tells Vera Beavis about a group home patient she's in contact with who's also under the effects of clinal lycanthropy (Which is what Billy has), suggesting that this person could help Billy if he joined them in the group home. Vera, like many other suggestions to have Billy put somewhere, denies the offer. As she always has, she will keep looking after her son.
Thinking to use the bathroom one day, Billy stumbles upon the corpse of his mother, who slew herself with a combo of medicine and alcohol. As an animatronic would, Billy emotionlessly brings this to the attention of law enforcement but soon saves himself from suspicion on his mental state before the police arrive when he recollects the update Vera gave him when he asked so many years ago, and thus, is able to act human again so as to not reveal his animatronic self. Following the cops' arrival and departure, Billy learns the ropes on adult life as an animatronic from an email his mother gave him to open not if -- but WHEN she passed (not gas).
==============
1997:
Due to a damper on his remnant collection what with the loss of Circus Baby's, Lally's and Chica's, William decides to start murdering at Rocket House to collect remnant.
Why this year of 1997?
Well, the Rocket House only appears in one story in the Fazbear Fright's novel series, and that is Gumdrop Angel. In this story, the number 8 occurs twice in the story whilst the number 1 occurs 3 times in the story. 8 - 1 is 7, which matches up with 1997.

Emily Electronics Ltd. begins moving it's headquarters over to Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Vanessa Afton is born in 1997 to Amber and Michael Afton.
This date references Vanessa's username of Nessie97, from the unused FNaF AR: SD emails.
Link to this info from the FNaF Wiki (See First Line): https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Scrapped_E-Mails#Main_Story_E-Mails_
Why do I believe Amber to be Vanessa's mother? Well, both of their names can derive from Semetic languages, those being Arabic and Persian. Vanessa comes from Van Essa, which comes from Esther, which itself originates from Old Persian A-s-t-r, which means Star. Amber comes from Old French Ambre, which comes from Latin Ambar, that comes from Persian ʕanbar.
Link to info on both names from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Amber#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Vanessa#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Esther
Later down the line my theory contradicts those same unused emails from FNaF AR: SD about the current age of Vanessa during that game. In their version, she is 23, in my version she is 18. As for why I think the info is wrong -- well, these emails are unused.
Back to the story:
Gabriella is born.
Oswald Osterley is born in Utah, Hurricane to the brother of MCI victim Jeremy: Thad Osterley. He is special since he is so magically powerful that through thought alone, he can will something to appear, change form or dissappear… without even knowing he's doing it!
Oswald's talent for magicks is hinted in his name, which means god-power.
Link to info on the name Oswald from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Osweald#Old_English
Throughout this year, Billy had begun to feel more human sensations from his body, likely brought on by the death of Vera. This disturbed Billy since it didn't fit with the animatronic he believed himself to be. As a result, Billy believed himself now not yet fully animatronic, and that to achieve this form he'd yet gained, Billy required his limbs replaced with animatronic prosthetics.
From surgeon to surgeon, Billy went for these procedures -- all refused to go through with it.
That was when Billy found the shadiest guy he possibly could. An unlicensed surgeon who lived out of an ancient, possibly abandoned, mental hospital. The man was known for substance abuse, which resulted in more than one lawsuit, and those many lawsuits robbed his license from him. The man also hid his name from Billy… referring to himself only as Doc.
This was Springtrap, disguised by illusion disc.
After all, Springtrap (Later called Scraptrap) gets his own arcade machine in Security Breach literally titled, "Mad Science with Dr. Scraptrap". Not to mention, when Billy becomes separated from his prosthetics, they seem to become sentient as if they have AI -- they also try to reform with Billy and possibly kill him since this reforming would likely result in a ton of blood loss. It would then, of course, create remnant. This matches up with the animatronics made by Springtrap having AI… and also their tendency to kill people. No to mention, remnant collection is Springtrap's MO.

Both have similar naming schemes. Crisis and shock have similar meanings.
B-7 ends.
B7-2 (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs.
Fans of Fazbear Entertainment create their own magazine. It is named Faz Life. Billy Beavis is hired as writer for the magazine.
The reason I believe this to happen is because it's poetic. The same time Billy's story ends is just about when the story of FazLife begins. Plus, at the end of the story, Billy wanted to become a writer. FazLife needs a writer, right? So far as I can gather from the two stories he's featured in, he doesn't hate FNaF despite all he's been through, so there's that, too.
==============
UNKNOWN TIME, likely early 200os:
Michael discovers that Amber only cares for him because of his trauma; she thinks it is interesting. Springtrapped Michael eventually finds out about this and decides to punish Amber by cheating on her with the Chica Bully/Delilah Roxas. Amber founds out and tries to divorce him and take full custody of Vanessa.
During this custody battle, Springtrapped Michael begins to try to coax Vanessa into telling the lawyers that she wishes to be with him and not her mother. After all, this testimony could sway a court case into the favour of whichever person the child wishes to be with. Springtrapped Michael tries to tell Vanessa that he knows what's best for her and that she should listen to him because of that.
When Vanessa decides to disobey his orders, Springtrapped Michael began abusing Vanessa. First it started with him taking all candy away from her, stating it would make her heavy and calling her heavy if she disobeyed him and decided to eat some. Then he began to lock her inside their house so she could no longer go outside and see any of her friends.
After that, Springtrapped Michael took away Vanessa's books. Succeeding this, he began to put beetles in her stuff to scare her. Following that, he began to make her overwork herself, be it on chores or schoolwork.
Finally, Springtrapped Michael began locking Vanessa in the basement without any lights on again and again.
As a bonus, during this whole time, Springtrapped Michael told his daughter to not do anything bad because he was always watching. If she wasn't "a good girl", as he put it, he would make sure she was punished.
Due to this abuse, Vanessa eventually gives into her father's orders.
Springtrapped Michael wins full custody of Vanessa and remarries to the Chica Bully from FNAF 4.
Amber commits suicide due to losing her custody case for Vanessa.
This stuff about the abuse and the court case comes from the Retro CD's of FNaF Security Breach and how Vanessa often seems afraid of her father. I also based it on things she likes and things she hates that are mentioned in those CDs. Things she likes such as going outside and reading, then the things she hates like dark basements.

2004:
Under his identity of Jack Burrows, Edwin marries Angela.
Michael decides to marry Delilah Roxas, since she helped him stop being so negative and embrace the changes brought to his life since he became a vampire.
Oscar Miner is born to Stanley Miner and Mavis Avila.
Why do I believe Ms. Avila to be named Mavis? Well, it sounds similar to the name we get from the story of Oscar in Tales from the Pizzaplex -- in fact, its just these parts with the letters rearranged:
Ms. Av
And, of course, counting the I in the word of Ms. when it's unabbreviated.
This also lines up with Ms. Avila's last name, which can mean tiny bird. Mavis, after all, means song thrush, which is a type of bird.
Link to info on Avila from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%81vila#Spanish
Link to info on Mavis from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavis
Why do I believe Stanley to be the father of Oscar? Well, Oscar's father died from an infection during a tonsillectomy. This makes sense, since Stanley would get infected from being around Springtrap's pathogens during his time as a security guard in Room For One More. And the minireenas who were infected by the pathogens climbed down his throat and likely damaged it.

Cassie Afton is born on 11th of March: the half-sister of Vanessa and the daughter of Michael Afton and Delilah Roxas. She is named in memory of Michael's brother: Cassidy.
To cope with the loss of her brother, Delilah begins buying clothes for Cassie that match the ones her brother used to wear. Red and blue.
Why did I choose this year? Well, it has to do with the later story of Cassie, where I theorize she ends up staying at daycare at the age of 13 where most people are allowed to stay home alone. She was then bullied because of it and that's none of her friends showed up to her party.
Also, her age in Ruin lines up with Michael's age in 1983. Another poetic thing.
People also theorize Security Breach to occur on the 9th and 10th of March. That is RIGHT near the 11th. And if Securiry Breach is like most games, where the days all occur in the same week for the most part… then I'm guessing this is that.
Angel and Jack/Edwin's son is born: Ryan Burrows.
Freddy's Fantasy Waterpark closes for reasons not disclosed to the public. The reason is that Springtrap murders children here using the animatronics and the waterpark tries to cover it up.
Why do I believe the waterpark closes in 2004?
Well, the Fazbear Frights' story of Felix the Shark has a similar underwater animatronic to the ones featured in the Freddy's Fantasy Waterpark. In that story, one of the main clues that leads the protagonist to discovering where Felix the Shark is hidden is a book series in which the character discovers 4 clues that all point to the location of something hidden.
2004 has a 4 in it.

==========================
2006:
Kai is born.
Asher Eccles is born.
I believe Asher's surname to be Eccles due to my theory that he will team up with the animatronic Eclipse (A combo of both the daycare attendant's AI's). Eccles looks similar to the word Eclipse. Eccles also is the last name of an Anglo-Irish Shakespearian scholar. Eclipse was made to work for Fazbear Theatre, originally. Also, in the story featuring Asher, he and his friend Todd erupt in a fight of words, where Asher refrences Mark Twain's work, a man who wrote and critiqued plays.

Info on Asher's fight from FNaF wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger_Rock?so=search#Trivia (Bulletpoint 1)
Todd Mott is born.
I believe Todd's surname to be Mott since I theorize him to team up with Montgomery Gator later on. Mott looks similar to Monty. Also, Mott can come from german Moder, which means swamp. This lines up since, Montgomery lives in a swamp. Also, there is a professional golfer named Gator Todd. This lines up since Monty's swamp is all about golfing.

One of the founders of Platinum Games has the surname Inaba. There is a Japanese myth about the Hare of Inaba -- Silver Parasol has what seems to be a hare for a mascot.

2008:
Springtrap breaks into Jeff's Pizza and begins hiding in the old ballpit that was leftover from the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and now sat unused. He then begin to cover the pizzeria in ghostly pathogens, which infected the kid known as Oswald through him eating at Jeff's Pizza, and thus caused him to become possessed by Springtrap.
FNaF: Into the Pit occurs: Oswald begins having dreams of the Fazbear Animatronics, causing him to draw them out when he wakes up. Due to having a mostly boring summer that he blames on his dad, Oswald decides one day to bury himself in that old ballpit to make his dad mad. Therein, he begins having longterm flashes of William's memories concerning his murders from 1985. He then finds he can exit the memories and return to reality by jumping back into the ballpit.
Seeing that these memories allow him to have the fun he's been looking for so long at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, Oswald keeps delving back into the Ballpit to play with the other kids present in William's memories. This is also where we find a clue to Oswald's magicks, where he soon begins feeling bad since he's been making the other kids pay for the games they were playing. Due to wishing he could somehow pay himself, this causes him to unknowingly create a ton of coins for the machines through his magicks.
On one of these trips out of the Ballpit, Springtrap pulls Oswald's dad Into the Pit and begins to masquerade as his father using an illusion disc. The only ones who can tell it is actually Springtrap are Oswald and his cat whilst everyone else simply sees Oswald's father.
Oswald is too scared to confront Springtrap, so nothing really happens for a while.
Soon enough, Oswald enters middle school and becomes friends with a girl named Gabriella, whom tells him about her book of Greek Heroes and how she wishes she could be as brave as they could. After all, she just moved to Hurricane a couple of days ago and is nervous. Inspired by the Greek heroes, Oswald decides to be brave and finally face off against Springtrap to save his father.
As a result, Springtrap tries to kill Oswald but ultimately fails after Oswald manages to unknowingly use his magicks to begin choking Springtrap with some rope hanging above the Ballpit. William, seeing that Oswald is special in some way, pretends to die so that he can study Oswald instead of incurring his wrath and possibly ending up worser off.
What William doesn't expect is that even though he fakes his death, Oswald still decides, unknowingly, to use his magicks to turn Springtrap into a simple costume that resembles a rabbit. This ultimately leaves Springtrap trapped in this form for many years.
This magical act also frees Michael Afton from Springtrap's possession. He gets a job at Rocket House and burns it down. The spirits of the possessed animatronics destroyed in the fire begin to haunt Michael, as well.
Why this year for the game?
Well, in the Graphic Novel there is a refrence to a new streaming reboot of Godzilla titled Zendrelix 2020. I believe this to be a typo or a hint, and is actually supposed to be Zendrelix 2002. This would actually line up since there was no Godzilla reboot movie in 2020… but there was one called Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla in 2002 for the Millenium-era reboot.
So, this puts this game somehwere around the early 200os.
This can still work since YouTube, which is mentioned in the book, became quite popular around 2007. Netflix's streaming service, itself mentioned in the book, launched in 2007.
Also, the book sets the Ballpit's flashbacks within 1985. So, it puts an emphasis on the 80s. Maybe even the number 8 itself.
Thus, I'm taking it as a hint that this story occurs in 2008.

Why do I believe Springtrap is here in the story? Because his costume, in the cover art for the game, looks similarly withered to his appearancxe in FNaF 3. Why do I believe this story occurs before FNaF 3? Springtrap appears even less withered than his appearance in FNaF3, suggesting this to be earlier in the timeline.

Springtrap is freed from Oswald's spell. He purchases Fazbear Entertainment again under a new disguise -- Doctor Phineas Tagart. He begins to use Fazbear Entertainment to begin running clinical tests on fear and how it effects people in the long-term using animatronics in the setting of a mock-up house. Springtrap then has this mock-up house built in the underground bunker where Circus Baby's, Chica's Party World, and Lally's Lollies are situated. It's made to resemble much of Oswald's house. Springtrap also recreates those make-shift Nightmare Animatronics for the tests, as well.
Springtrap uses an illusion disc to disguise himself and begin secretly destroying Oswald's life life, making sure to avoid being seen by Oswald since Oswald can see through his illusions discs. All the while, Springtrap finds and kills Oswald's friend Ben, who moved away when the mill closed, and masquerades as him via text messages. Due to all the new havoc in his life, Ben/Springtrap convinces Oswald to enlist in Fazbear Entertainment's new fear-testing facility run by Dr. Phineas Tagart in an undeground bunker. There, he can live without harm from anyone, whether verbal or physical. He'll have a never-ending supply of food and health care, too, since the test will go on until Oswald turns into an adult.
Oswald accepts and Springtrap puts him in the mock-up testing house and releases fear gas into it.
Thus, Oswald goes through the same torture as Cassidy once did.
Only, this time… due to Oswald's powers, these Nightmare Animatronics became REAL. And thus, using these real Nightmare Animatronics, William began to murder people and collect more remnant. This was the real reason William was doing these tests under the disguise of Doctor Phineas Tagart.
==============
2010:
Springtrap then travels to Washington, DC, where he creates a new animatronic dog known as Fetch in order to kill Greg Fitzgerald.
Fetch (Fazbear Frights story) occurs: Greg possesses Fetch after being killed by the animatronic.
Why is it I think this story occurs here?
Well during the story, there is a REG machine constantly mentioned throughout the story and when we see when shown, it keeps spitting out the same numbers of 1s and 0s. Together, this makes 10, which could be 2010.
Info on the REG machine from Fetch on FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Fetch_(Story)#Plot (Paragraph 4, Lines 4-5)
Why do I believe Fetch kills Greg at the end?
Well, I think Greg misinterprets the phone call from his friend telling him Kimberly is looking for him. Since Fetch is hooked up to his phone, Greg thinks Fetch will hear this call and thus be sent to kill and then bring Kimberly to him… but that doesn't make sense. KIMBERLY is the one looking for Greg -- not Greg looking for Kimberly.
That means Fetch would kill Greg and bring him to Kimberly then. But since Fetch was busted up badly by Greg just prior to the call, his programming might malfuction and cause him to kill Greg and then bring Greg's corpse back to his spirit. And, of course, Fetch would likely see his spirit because he's a creation of William's -- who can use magicks to help his creations see stuff.
This would also be poetic as the last thing Fetch says before the story ends is CU, as in see you or goodbye. But now, it has a double meaning of: see, there you are! I retrieved you after killing you! Goodbye!
And, of course, like we've discussed, ghosts don't usually remember their deaths until they see their corpses.
Greg possesses Fetch.

===========================
2011:
Due to his obssession with detective work, Angela divorces Edwin/Jack Burrows and takes custody of their son, Ryan.
Stitchwraith Stingers (Fazbear Frights' story) occurs: Springtrap manages to capture both the Puppet and Molten Freddy who had teamed up to take Springtrap down. Springtrap then infects Molten Freddy with a ghostly virus in order to possess it. Springtrap then separates Molten Freddy into pieces and plants them in alleyway dumpsters around Hurricane to shock and burn any scavaging homeless people to death, after which their corpses would melt onto Molten Freddy and create remnant for Springtrap to harvest.
When Springtrap then possesses the Puppet via his ghostly virus, making it easier for him to modify the Puppet. He installs the battery pack of Fetch, intending for the Puppet to use it as a powersource to also shock, burn and melt people to death to create remnant. What Springtrap doesn't expect is that the angry spirit of Greg Fitzgerald possessing Fetch's battery pack helps the Puppet incapacitate Springtrap via electrocution.
Before either the Puppet can escape or Springtrap can fully recover, the whole debacle comes to the attention of the police and thus both Springtrap (Still disguised via illusion disc) and the Puppet are forced to play dead. Springtrap and the Puppet then part ways as the police separate body from belongings (Which the Puppet was considered to be) to be shipped off to a funeral home and a garbage dump, respectively.
For now, we find ourselves on the Puppet's side of the story. Anyways, the Puppet puts on a trench coat before it escapes the truck but not without Springtrap's possession causing them to kill and create remnant out of one of the dumptruck employees. Greg and Charlie then figure out that this Springtrapped personality of the Puppet is present within the Puppet and thus team up to overpower it and plumb it's memories for where Molten Freddy was taken to. And so, Charlie and Greg start their new adventure to find the dumpsters and rescue each part of Molten Freddy before they would then visit a factory to throw the Puppet and Molten Freddy into the trash compactor to destroy them all since they don't know how to destroy the ghostly Springtrap Virus… and unfortunately, each time someone is killed by the Springtrapped Puppet, the remnant was used to make the Springtrap personality stronger and thus could overpower both Charlie and Greg anytime soon.
And so, people begin reporting to the Hurricane Police Department about sightings of the Puppet who they now called the Stitchwraith and some of it's murders through the spriritual Springtrap Virus. Due to their also being camera footage of some of the sightings, it leads the police chief to hand the case off to the best man in the department: the DIVORCED… the OVERDEDICATED… JACK BURROWS! Edwin, thinking this hasn't a thing to do with his daughters' death, doesn't want to do the case but that's not his choice to make.
As Edwin investigates the case, he notices that one of the items owned by Dr. Phineas Tagart (the fake identity of Springtrap, which Springtrap stole from Michael) was the animatronic from Fazbear Entertainment known as Fetch. Edwin then figures out the Stitchwraith is connected to Fetch, and thus Fazbear Entertainment. This causes him to visit the police department annex, where he learns more about various crimes associated with Fazbear Entertainment locations, thinking this may help him figure some more stuff out.
That's where he finds the mask of Montgomery Gator, still possessed by Andrew. Because of his strong magical prowess, Andrew was able to sense that Edwin was not a vampire but still a kind-hearted person and thus decided to confide in him about William. Edwin then told Andrew what he knew, and Andrew then told Edwin that he'd possessed other items besides Montgomery Gator and that one of these items was currently in the possession of the Stitchwraith. With this info in tow, Edwin booked it over to a factory where the Stitchwraith currently was but not without bringing Andrew/Monty along via evidence bag, since Andrew said he wanted to help take Springtrap down because he could totally still do so despite being just a mask currently.
… … MORE HERE TO BE ADDED AFTER A BREAK … …
Why this year for the story? Well, there are 11 parts to the Stitchwraith Stingers. 2011 has 11 in it.
Info on the Stitchwraith Stingers from FNaF Wiki (Scroll on down and you'll see how many of the Stingers there are): https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Stitchwraith_Stingers?so=search
Why'd I change the Stitchwraith to the Puppet? They look pretty similar to me what with their faces.

Why do I believe Jack Burrows/Edwin Murray is here in the story? Well, one of the main characters who control the Stitchwraith is literally called Jake -- which is a variant of the name Jack. As you can probably guess, this is another time where we alter and switch around names with characters to get the story for the games' universe's events.

2013:
Henry Emily is released from prison and gets a job working at Silver Parasol Games, where he play a larg part in designing the games known as Bear of Venegance and Fabear Noir - Five Coins. For the latter game's world, Henry creates a new kind of animatronic team called the Rockstars
Bear of Vengeance, a game developed by Silver Parasol Games, is released by Springle Inc.
This mirrors the release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

2014:
Help Wanted (Story from Tales from the Pizzaplex) begins: Springtrap furnishes an abandoned house with animatronics, which are all disguised with illusions discs. He then lures Steve Snodgrass/Phone Dude into the house under the premise of a date with one of the disguised animatronics. He is then knocked out and when he wakes he is convinced by his date that he's been married to her for years and that they have kids.
Recently, they've run into financial troubles, and to solve them Steve takes on a job by "Fazbear Entertainment" (A lie by Springtrap) to create games that make light of and cover up the drama surrounding the company. To help create the games, Springtrap possesses Steve via infecting his food with a ghostly sickness he creates, and gives him visions of the memories Springtrap has from his murders. Like expected, Steve bases the games off these visions he has around the night.
===========================
2015:
30 years after Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed it's doors in 1985, the Springtrapped personality that's in possession of Phone Dude/Steve Snodgrass convinces the Faz Life Fan Club to buy up Fazbear Entertainment Incorporated. As a result, they begin combing through the old facilities, looking for materials for a new revitalization of the brand as a horror attraction. Also as a result of buying the brand, the Faz Life Magazine becomes an official staple of the Fazbear brand.
They then purchase the ruins of Geist Lair at the Fallfest/Spookfest grounds, which they turn into the horror attraction of Fazbear Frights.
When Steve goes to rest after working on the games, Springtrapped Steve would then look after Fazbear Frights.
Michael, in disguise, takes on a job for the security guard role at Fazbear Frights to find out if there's anything wrong going down.
Fazbear Entertainment starts creating merchandise for Fazbear Fright's. One of the pieces of merchandise is called the Freddy Fazbear's Security Logbook. Michael ends up writing in a prototype version of one of these while working as a security guard. The spirits that are haunting Michael start possessing Michael in order to writing in the book themselves. Picking up on this, Michael tries to make it seem like he's another spirit by changing how he writes and making his text seem almost hidden to talk with these spirits, asking them questions about things pertaining to Cassidy's life to see if he was there amongst them.
Why do I think Mike is the one talking to Crying Child? Well, the line in the logbook where soemone asks if their favourite toy was a purple telephone (Which we see in Crying Child's room in FNaF 4) struck me as something only a person who lived with Crying Child would know. And that matches up with Mike.

For more info on why I believe the FNaF: Survival Log Book occurs during this time, I will link a theory on YouTube by ImmenseAndrew which inspired me called The Survival Logbook is STILL important…and it changes FNAF 3.
Here is the Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlKQP9SY5-Y
Back to story:
FNAF 3 occurs: Springtrap soon simply sits himself outside of Fazbear Frights attraction, thinking they will take him in since he is undoubtedly memorabilia. And, of course, that will give him the chance he needs to commit evil.
Using the sound effects of kids, which animatronics are attracted to because their programming is built to tend to children, Michael lures Springtrap into the ventilation system and then simply lets the old and faulty technology go awry as it always does, causing the vents to close up and stop air from flowing…. and, of course, prevent Springtrap from escaping.
Michael then burns the place down, once again taking advantage of the faulty technology to cause a fire.
In the end, due to the vents being strong enough to hold an animatronic, they also prove hard to burn completely. And so, the vents burn so little as to save Springtrap from any true harm and also enough to provide him with a way to escape.
In the Flesh (Fazbear Frights Story) occurs: Due to incurring at least some fire damage, Springtrap murders an employee at Springle Inc. called Matt and stuffs them into his suit, creating remnant to heal himself. Because of imbibing too much remnant, although, Springtrap begins to literally grow larger than his suit.
Because the springlock suit is bound by his flesh and bone, though, it causes problems for his growth spurt so that some places grow more than others, becoming bloated and causing parts of his body to literally explode from pressure. Such as his arm. Looking to recuperate from the loss, Springtrap then gathers scraps from other suits discarded by Fazbear Entertainment to use for himself.
Because of his bloated growth, though, these parts don't quite fit him the same. It's like an adult trying to put on children's clothes, basically.
He then earns the name Scraptrap.
Remember Wendigos? Well, a similar thing happens to them as to what's going on here with Springtrap. See, Wendigos are not never not hungry for human flesh, as for every time they cannibalize someone, their body blooms bigger, leaving them hungry again since the body perviously consumed is now too small to sate their hunger.
Info on this from Wikipedia (Paragraph 3, Lines 2-3): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo#Description
Henry calls up his son Sammy and asks him to loan him some cash, which Sammy does. Henry assumes the role of CEO for the Fazbear Franchise since Phone Guy doesn't have the money to pay for the damages to Fazbear Frights. After all, Phone Guy just spent his money buying the franchise.
Henry then buys Jeff's Pizza, which was originally Freddy Fazbear's Pizza/JR.'s, and refurbishes it and reopens it as the new Freddy's Fazbear's Pizza Place. He also creates not only a TON of new animatronics, but recreates a lot of old ones, as well, for the franchise to use… if bought. This would thus make help Pizza Place become so popular that the leftover, possessed and wandering animatronics, such as Scrap Baby, Molten Freddy, the Puppet in Utah wouldn't go one foot without learning about it.
Henry would then have the animatronics welcomed into the Pizza Place for salvage after animatronics would place themselves outside the back alley KNOWING that their parts would be recognized as coming from Fazbear Entertainment and thus be taken in regardless of their questionability… since, well, this was FAZBEAR ENTERTAINMENT. And, of course, the animatronics would show up, after all, it would not only give them a chance at continued revenge agains Fazbear employees, but would also give them SO many chances to kill since Pizza Place would be so popular.
Henry would then have them all lured into one of the floors of the basement below Pizza Place, where he'd made walls out of the saferoom material that was unbreakable by animatronics, which he'd use to crush the possessed animatronics and hold them in place, all the while also burning them through technology he installed in the floor that would spew out fire all over each room in that floor of the basement. Fire, again, was the only thing Henry thought could possibly free their souls, as that's the only thing William described having an effect in his notes about ghosts and remnant.
Henry also plans to have his adopted daughter, the Chica Bully/Delilah, take this job so that she may take part in destroying William herself and thus getting the revenge she seeks. He would provide her office with an escape route, so that she could leave before the fire got to her and live the rest of her life. Henry even went as far as to make the previously game-only animatronics knwon as the Rockstars into actual animatronics for Delilah to use in order to pay homage to the Rocket House.
Henry also creates a new restaurant called El Chip's Fiesta Buffet to help support Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place until it became successful or in the event it's popularity dipped.
The animatronic known as El Chip was the star of the restaurant. He was the singing, Mandolin-playing beaver who wore a sombrero.
I believe this the info on El Chips's is hinted at through the price of animatronic El Chip in Pizzeria Sim: $32,000. This can be translated to the Bible's Revelation verse 3:2, where someone is telling another to focus on helping something of theirs which is soon to die.
Fazbear Entertainment, what with it's recent failures, is surely dying now. This plan with El Chip's seems like a surefire way to support the company through it's new Pizza Place. After all, it's just like the rebranding of JR.'s to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which helped save the franchise so long ago.
El Chip's Fiesta Buffet has barely any reference to Fazbear Entertainment outside of piñatas, so it can bring in customers without worry of chasing them away because of the recent drama with Fazbear Entertainment.
Info on El Chip's cost from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/El_Chip/History#Freddy_Fazbear's_Pizzeria_Simulator (Line 3)
Info on Revelation 3:2 from Biblica's NIV Bible: https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/revelation/3/
I believe Henry's plans to be detailed in the blueprints for the animatronic LEFTE or Lefty. This is another time I believe a score of numbers to be refering to verses of the Bible's Revelation put in a certain order to relay the story. From the False Sensory Output on Lefty's blueprints, there is a bracelet code: 93401223.
These numbers, I believe to translate into the following Revelation passages:
9:3, 4:1, and 22:3.
With the first verse, we have described locusts arising from smoke, which soon obtain power on par to lethal scorpions.
Henry obtains Fazbear Entertainment when it's literally just had an establishment burned and is quickly going down in smoke again, metaphorically. Henry then creates a whole ton of new animatronics and even introducing all kinds of old ones in order to give his business unrivaled popularity and thus revenue -- the best power known for a business.
Link to the Revelation verse from Biblica (NIV Version Bible): https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/revelation/9/
The second verse talks about someone seeing a door to heaven appear before them, followed by them hearing a voice that was so loud, like a trumpet could be, that it couldn't be ignored. The voice welcomes the person in question to show them what will happen soon.
To some of the wandering, possessed animatronics in Hurricane, there can be no better heaven to them than a popular Freddy's location. After all, it attracts so many people, which means for most of them so many chances to kill either employees for revenge or just kids to obey programming. And because Henry had made the new Pizza Place so popular, it would undoubtedly be advertised everywhere, thus leading theses animatronics to have no choice but to discover it.
Link to the Revelation verse from Biblica (NIV Version): https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/revelation/4/
This last verse then talks about God coming into a city, thereby removing all the accursed things.
This fits well with what Henry is trying to do: he is trying to kill the possessed animatronics, which can all be seen as accursed since they've killed.
Link to the Revelation verse from Biblica (NIV Version): https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/revelation/22/
Heres the line-up of the most important animatronics introduced at this time, the Rockstar Animatronics: There was Rockstar Freddy, Rockstar Foxy, Rockstar Chica, Rockstar Bonnie and the animatronic known as LEFTE or Lefty. The Rockstar Animatronics can best be described as a mix in design between the Toy Animatronics and the Fazbear Animatronics with a bonus of being adorned with stars, likely in reference to their name.
Noticably, Rockstar Chica plays the maracas, Rockstar Foxy has some gold teeth and even a bird on his shoulder to beef up the pirate aesthetic, whilst Rockstar Freddy seems to be painted with a color that's just between brown and gold, alongside dark purple hat and bowtie -- as if to say this new Freddy is a fusion of Freddy and Fredbear.
Lefty was designed to lure in and capture the Puppet, then fuse with it. He resembles a mix between the Puppet and Freddy. He has one eye that is completely blackened, similar to the voided eyes of the Puppet. Most of his fur is painted dark, too, similar to the hue of the Puppet's body. The fur is highlighted by red, bumpy facial cheeks, red kneecaps, and a red tophat.
Henry then sends mail to the Afton Household, with an invitation for the Chica Bully/Delilah to become the manager of the restaurant.
Michael takes the job for managing the restaurant instead of Delilah.
FNAF: Pizzeria Simulator happens:
Lefty ends up using artificial audio of cries from children to lure the Puppet close to capture it and then uses remnant to fuse with it.
I believe this info is once again hinted at through verses referencing the Bible's Revelation.
In Lefty's blueprints, there is the Security Receiver Code FZ554. FZ can stand for the italian word forzato, which can mean artificial situation. FZ can be counted as two letter, which when combined with the loose 5 makes Revelation 2:5, which is about someone telling another person to see how bad they've become and to do better lest they kill them. This can line up with how the Puppet now kills innocents due to William's gift by Lucifer.
Revelation 5:4 describes someone crying due to a scroll not being able to be opened. This lines up with children crying.

Back to the story:
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place burns and begins to crush the possessed animatronics, trapping them within. Henry plans to stay and die with them, at first. Molten Freddy joins his form together with the other burnt and smashed animatronics, becoming the Tangle. Henry and William trie to flee the fire themselves when they see the Tangle coming for them, now controlled by Cassidy. It catches them both, and also the Shadow Animatronics that William controls. Due to it only being a POSSIBILITY that fire can release souls and destroy remnant, the child victims and their remnant do not pass on.
Michael escapes along with animatronic known as Helpy. Due to escaping the fire, Michael is thus able to recieve his certificate of completion from the robot known as Tutorial Unit.
This may be mirrored in the Burn It All Down Ending for Security Breach, where Burntrap tries to escape the collapsing and burning Pizzaplex only for the Tangle to capture him. At the same time, Freddy and Gregory are fleeing the wreckage, as well.
Link to this ending's info from the FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Endings?so=search#Burn_It_All_Down_Ending
Now as for Henry's audio file with it's name of HRY223 in the Insanity Ending, which details his want to get the animatronics all in one place, which hints at his full plan to burn them to death in one place. Some theorize this to mean Henry2023, which gives us the year this game takes place. But, like I said before, I think it's actual a reference to the Bible's Revelation, specifically verse 22:3.
Since I've already talked about it, I won't mention it again.
In the Completion Ending, in his speech, Henry also makes mention of the Devil and Hell.
Not to mention, Scott is a Christian himself and has made games based around his religion.

Info on the Good Ending from the Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizzeria-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Endings#Good_
Back to the story.
The Tangle tunnels under the Pizza Place to avoid being caught and destroyed. It discovers the other gift from Lucifer: the sinkhole, laden with water and mushrooms from Hell. It begins resting there.
Ultimate Custom Night occurs: Henry Emily is put into a small, magically/ghostly-made version hell residing in the Tangle by Cassidy as revenge for killing him. Cassidy brings the other child victims, such as the souls haunting Michael like the Toys and Withereds, into this ghost-made hell. In this ghost-made hell, Cassidy forces the child victims and William torture Henry in th guise of animatronics. Old Man Consequences soon enters the hell in order to help soothe and free Henry and the good-natured victims. Cassidy stops this from happening, refusing anyone from leaving -- even the new challenger of OMC.
As a result, Old Man Consequences uses his angelic powers to give Henry ways to avoid being killed in the hopes that when Henry is able to avoid death even when he's up against everything the souls have got… that's when they will finally give up. Because of Henry being able to elude the spirits' in this personal hell, they keep ramping up their difficulty with which they torture him. Soon enough after a full week, the victims reach their limit, and seeing that Henry's spirit is STILL able to outwit them… they just give up.
UCN Old Man Consequences Ending occurs: This allows Old Man Consequences to go unhindered as he tries to help Henry pass on from this hell into the afterlife by letting him into the Flipside. He then tells Henry to rest a while, which he does.
Why do I believe Henry is the protagonist of UCN?
Well, he is represented by Fredbear, as he's worn the costume before. And in the Old Man Consequences minigame, the protagonist takes on the guise of a digital Fredbear. Some people can argue it's Cassidy/Golden Freddy… but to unlock the minigame you have to turn off the AI on Golden Freddy.
So, all that's left is the protagonist and the old man.

Then there's also the voices that appear in the minigame as well. When you speed up the background noise from the Old Man's Minigame, it seems like voices clearly saying HELP ME and MIKE. People also think the words HENRY appear, but to me it just sounds like more of the same words of HELP ME.
Also… the voice doesn't have an accent.
We've seen Mike and William having english accents… but not Henry.
The video for the voices is also included as a link in the FNaF Wiki page I linked.
Also, as I mentioned way back in the start of this theory, Springtrap appears in UCN as one of the enemies.
Thus, William is free to torture Henry for a while, until he can find a way to escape this ghost-made mini-hell. And since the animatronics don't attack him here, it seems Lucifer's gift is still working for William against his victims… but not as much as in the begininng, since Cassidy chose to act on his own when it seemed obvious that William didn't want to be in the Tangle.
Back to the story.
OMC then uses Henry as bait to lure only the good souls/victims, which include Cassidy, into the Flipside, as well, at which point OMC seals it off from the ghost-made mini-hell where all the bad souls reside. Using Flipside as his origin point, OMC then creates a world that resembles and plays like a game for Henry, Cassidy and the good-nature spirits to dwell in untill they become satisfied, tired and then decide to go to the afterlife. Inside the game, there are simply games to peruse that were once featured at the many locations from Fazbear Entertainment's past.
This game location is called Adventure World.
Old Man Consequences then renames himself as the Storyteller and begins dwelling in a house around the starting area of the game called Fazbear Hills. Herein, he starts to work on new stories/games for the ghosts inhabitants of Adventure World to use.
Meanwhile, the evil souls of UCN Hell keep trying to break into the Flipside, and thus, Adventure World but fail due to have inequal power to the angel that is Old Man Consequences.
As a result, Springtrap comes up with an idea. Demons are almost on par with the power on angels, right? If one of the evil ghosts in UCN Hell were to become a demon, then they'd be able to break into Adventure World. Of course, due to demons not exactly being as strong as angels, they demon who would lead them would probably end up defeated by OMC pretty quickly.
But, that's okay, because Springtrap knew the weakness of angels.
Anyways, Springtrap orders his own daughter to become this demon. Baby agrees and thus begins to torment even her own allies, including Springtrap. Due to this act, Baby turns so wicked that she can longer find forgivance from God. Thus, she becomes a demon.
This mirrors Japanese Buddhist religion, where humans so sinful that redemption is no longer an option become living demons, known as Oni.
Info on the Oni from Yokai,com (Under BEHAVIOUR, Paragraph 2, Lines 1 - 2): https://yokai.com/oni/
FNaF World occurs: Baby uses her demonic powers to break into Adventure World, whereupon she and her allies begin to create spiritual copies of themselves and fill the world as enemies. As a result, Cassidy comes into the Storyteller's house seeking safety. The Storyteller then creates a small room of darkness that acts as a shield against intruders, where OMC then changes into a form resembling an 8-bit version of the Fredbear plush that once guided and comforted Cassidy so long ago to calm him down and explain what has happened.
He tells Cassidy he won't let him be ruined like Adventure World is.
He will fix him as he's been trying to do all this time. You see, OMC also sees Cassidy as broken but in a different way than Springtrap does. The Storyteller sees Cassidy as broken because he does not move onto the afterlife like people normally do after death. And the way OMC thinks to fix him is to get him to pass on in the way I've previosuly discussed.
To do this, the Storyteller takes the form of Adventure Fredbear and sends Henry as Adventure Freddy to build up a party consisting of the other souls and try to defeat the enemies invading the world. Only… they find that they just keep coming back to life… and they cannot be pushed back into UCN.
So, the Storyteller makes a compromise and tries to make new stories centred around the enemies, similar to an RPG, hoping that these new games will satisfy the souls instead and help them pass on. As a result, Cassidy decides to stay inside his room because he is too afraid to face the enemies. Henry and his party then complete the game without Cassidy and end up on the final boss battle, where they face off against the true angelic form of the Storyteller, which resembles a man made of shining cubes. They defeat him… only to end up back at the start instead of the Afterlife. They then find the Storyteller, clueing knowledge that the Storyteller can't be killed forever and always comes back -- just like Springtrap.
FNaF World Fourth Glitch Ending happens: Using glitches in Adventure World, Henry and his party try to leave the game into the Afterlife. Instead, they all end up in the Flipside, where OMC tells them to rest. In response, Henry and the victims begins to drown themselves in the lake out of frustration. This leads to them being revived, where they end up at the Storyteller's house, who hugs them to try and comfort them.
FNaF World Universe End Ending occurs: Henry and the his party then try to pass onto the Afterlife by breaking Adventure World through playing as Adventure Fredbear and speaking with the Adventure Fredbear NPC. After all, two Fredbears arent able to exist at the same time, they once learned. This causes both Fredbears to explode and the game crashes. But… in time, Henry and the victims find themselves back in the starting area again.
FNaF World: Chipper's Revenge occurs: The Storyteller finishes his new game addition to Adventure World, which is a story about Mr. Chipper turning himself and his minions into cyborgs in order to be powerful enough to defeat the Freddy's characters so that Mr. Chipper and his his minions may become famous. Henry and the victims succeed in defeating the cyborg known as Chipper's Revenge.
FNaF World Update 2 occurs: The Storyteller adds a bunch of new characters, locations and minigames, involving Foxy and Chica's Magic Rainbow and the Purple Geist. Henry and the victims beat it all but do not rest afterward, calling instead for more games in hopes that it may provide them a way to pass on to the Afterlife.
FNaF World Clock Ending occurs: Henry and the victims end up back at the start again, finding their efforts futile and thus simply give up, letting themselves sit on the dialogue menu between themselves and Adventure Fredbear. After some time, Adventure Fredbear turns into 8-bit Fredbear who tells them to collect hidden clocks and give them to Cassidy in his dark room. After all, OMC has figured out that Cassidy has decided to stop the spirits from moving on once again because he is mad that all Henry and the other nice spirits have betrayed him by giving up on helping him overcome his fear and have tried to move on without him. These clocks will be a sort of gift to Cassidy to tell him that they are still his friends in the hopes they they will forgive him and that they can help him move on alongside themselves.
FNaF World Hard Mode Ending occurs: The Storyteller can no longer handle stress put on him by Cassidy never seeming to rest and thus decides in his anger to destroy Cassidy and his allies to forcibly move them onto the Afterlife. Thus, he creates a new story to help him do that and reveals the new story to Cassidy and the good ghosts. They thus confront the Storyteller in his angelic form again, whom tells them exactly what I've said before. Cassidy and his team end up crushing the Storyteller instead, although, and as he dies he tries to chastise Cassidy and his allies to no avail.
FNaF World Chica's Magic Rainbow Ending: The Storyteller has made a new mini-story for Cassidy and the other benevolent souls to follow through to help Cassidy become satisfied enough to move on, which ends in them meeting Chica's Magic Rainbow again and facing off against it after it kills the Purple Geist. After winning the battle, Henry and friends find themselves not back at the start of the game but rather teleported to the Storyteller's house where he tries to tell them that he has been tricked and warn them of what's to come.
The Storyteller was too weak to realize that when he tried to create what he thought was a NPC of Circus Baby, he accidentally gave some of his power to the real Circus Baby. Due to this, Circus Baby then kills the Storyteller.
Baby then takes over as the new Storyteller of Adventure World and tortures OMC with her new powers. Soon enough, OMC retakes control. In repsonse to everything going wrong and his torture, OMC weakens himself even more as he sins, recreating Adventure World into a darker game that punishes all the souls good and evil.
This leads into Freddy In Space 2: Nightmare, Springtrap, Henry, Circus Baby, Nightmarionette and Fredbear then choose the following characters of Chica, Bonnie, Freddy, Foxy, Puppet and Fredbear to team up against the Storyteller. Unfortunately, using the NPC of LOLHAX, the Storyteller is able to brainwash most of Henry's allies and thus Henry has to rescue them on his own to then team up again, defeat LOLHAX and then the Storyteller himself. They ultimately defeat the Storyteller… and this time, the Storyteller became weak enough that these players are able to escape Adventure World into Flipside into UCN Hell and then out of Tangle.
Thus, they simply become wandering spirits.
Springtrap's spirit then found an animatronic called Helpy that had escaped the Pizza Place and choose to possess it. William then used his ghostly powers to become the Glitchtrap Virus in the code of Helpy's circuit boards.
Sammy Emily inherits the reins over the Fazbear Franchise, which he turns into an LLC.
Sammy begins turning the whole company back to its horror days, ordering media made centered around the rumors of child murders and possessed animatronics.
Help Wanted (Story from Tales from the Pizzaplex) ends: Steve figures out that the house he's in and the family he has are all robots disguised by illusion discs. He then tries to break out of the house and is ultimately killed by his robot wife. Because of this, the sixth game by Steve (Sister Location) goes unfinished, only having the animatronics and backgrounds designed for it.
Using Steve's email, Springtrap disguises himself as Steve and gets in contact with Fazbear Entertainment to allow them to use his games in order to make money off them. Sammy agrees to this deal and enlists the help of Japanese game studio Silver Parasol Games to help in creating VR games based on Steve's series of games.
Springtrap/Helpy plants itself outside the offices of Silver Parasol Games, causing him to be taken inside by the game developers to have his AI chip scanned into the VR game to better understand how the animatronics in Fazbear Entertainment work so they can make the most realisitic game possible. Thus, the VR game become corrupted by the Glitchtrap Virus.
Hearing about the revitalization of Fazbear Entertainment, Michael gets at job as a playtesters at Silver Parasol under the disguise of Jeremy to make sure nothing wrong is going down. He ends up discovering the Glitchtrap virus and becoming corrupted by it.
Like it does for all who will come across it in the future, the Glitchtrap Virus traps a portion of the person's soul within the thing it comes from, being a game or otherwise. This is because the Glitchtrap Virus creates an alternate personality that it can control when possessing someone. The thing is, the original personality could catch onto what's going on since there is a need for each personality to rest as if they were separate humans. By trapping a portion of the person's soul away, this gives the Glitchtrap Virus less of a chance of being caught since the original personality cannot be around as long as the Glitchtrap Personality can because of their soul being split, thus making it so the original personality has a smaller amount of energy and thus wakefulness than compared to the Glitchtrapped personality.
Also, the Glitchtrapped personality and the original personailty cannot remember each other's actions, which makes it simpler for the Glitchtrap Virus to move around.
But also… provides a blindspot for the virus, as well.
This corruption leads the disguised Michael to develop an alternate personality through the Glichtrap Virus, prompting this new personality to then corrupt his coworker Hope with Glichtrap Virus to recruit her help in murdering another one of his coworkers named Parker. They then both go buy an assembly of halloween decorations resembling dismembered body parts with which to prank Parker on his birthday, which is right on Halloween. They both use this to cover up Parker's murder and his dismemberment they ennact that day. Glitchtrapped Michael then uses a guillotine papercutter to slice off Parker's face and wear it before putting on the VR headset which was already infected with the Glichtrap Virus in order to created enough remnant to help William's spirit create more versions of his Glitchtrap Virus.
This mirrors the story of Prankster from Fazbear Frights, save that the characters are flipped around.
Info on the story of Prankster from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Prankster#Plot
Soonafter disposing of the body, Glitchtrapped Michael leaves his job at Silver Parasol.
As the Glitchtrapped personality of Michael goes back to original Michael's real life, the Virusized version of Michael renames himself to Bill Afton. Bill then begins to show great affection towards the mascot of Bonnie instead of Foxy, since the Virus copies William. And so Bill starts collecting the merchandise of Bonnie, such as lunchboxes.
In Michael's place, Gabriella (The friend of Oswald, for those who may have forgotten) takes up playtesting for the AR game, also becoming corrupted by the Glitchtrap virus. At first, she simply discovers the virus and tries to destroy it, using tapes to scatter it. But she is eventually infected and the rest of her tapes she uses for future players of the game as a trick to corrupt them with the Glitchtrap Virus.
She disguises it as a sort of game to destroy the virus, when in truth, by the time the player has collected all the tapes, they are taken over by the virus.
Why do I think Gabriella is Tape Girl? Well, Gabriella's name shares similarities with the name of Tape Girl's Voice Actor: Brianna Kelly. The "-bri-" in Gabriella, matches the "-bri-" in the beginning of Brianna's name. The "-ell-" in Gabriella's name matches the "-ell-" part of Brianna's surname Kelly. Also, Like the name of Brianna, Gabriella ends in an "-a", as well.

Bill Afton becomes a technician at Fazbear Entertainment.
Anyways, to help him with his plans, Bill sets up Vanessa Afton with a job at Silver Parasol Games as a playtester, where he tries to infect her with the Glitchtrap Virus. Vanny's Glitchtrapped personality then begins to call herself Vanny, a blend of Vanessa and Bunny (In reference to Bonnie the Bunny, her father's favourite).
Due to lawsuit from Parker's death that almost puts Silver Parasol under, Fazbear Entertianment buys the company and then puts another company to work for designing the game. The one, the only… Springle Incorporated!
The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experince, the vr game worked on for Fazbear Entertainment, is released along with the toy line and books. They drum up a TON of cash.
Fazbear Entertainment rebuilds and reopens Circus Baby's Pizza World and thus new Funtime Animatronics are created. The new Funtime Chica ends up being stationed at the Rentals place as well as Party World. The Glitchtrap Virus infects the Rentals place and Party World, causing the animatronics to have "accidents" every once in a while to create more remnant.
Fazbear Entertainment also starts running Freddy Fazbear's Carnival for the Spookfest in Utah, where they make new attractions such as the Carousel and Fazerblast, which itself was staffed by the animatronic bear called Carnie. It is about shooting lasers and throwing balls at targets in scenarios featured from the VR game. The Glitchtrap Virus infects the animatronics and computing systems for the Carnival to help create remnant.
Sammy begins preparing to open a location for Fazbear Entertainment. It would be a whole mall called Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, built with an 80's aesthetic in mind, since around this time, that aesthetic had become quite popular again amongst people, such as in the case of songwriters (Carly Rae Jepson, Taylor Swift), fashion brands (Vogue) and even film featurettes (Kung Fury).

I originally found out about this trend when I searched up 80s aesthetic 2015 or something like that and found an article on Slate.
Here's a link to that article: https://slate.com/culture/2015/09/the-weeknd-carly-rae-jepsen-taylor-swift-why-the-sound-of-the-1980s-became-the-sound-of-2015.html
The Building of Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex begins.
Sammy orders the burnt up Pizza Place to be fixed up for use by future employees as a hub in the Pizzaplex, as well as to clear away any rubble to find and salvage any spare parts for new animatronics. He also has the Pizzaplex built on top of the Pizza Place.
Bill gets a transfer to the constructing Pizzaplex, taking up a technician job.
FNAF AR: Special Delivery begins.
Fazbear Entertainment creates the Fazbear Funtime Service, which sends animatronics to people's houses to provide personal entertainment for their birthday parties. New animatronics are created for this service, which are most often just decorated variants of current animatronics such as Chica or Bonnie.
Bill helps Vanny get a job as a Security Guard for the Fazbear Funtime Service.
Vanny soon sets the Glitchtrap Virus on the Fazbear Funtime Service Animatronics in secret and soon contacts the Fazbear Funtime Service disguised as a IT tech to help. She is then given full control over everything from accounts to the animatronics. When she locks a few employees out of their account, making it so they cannot leave the warehouse filled with animatronics, she then sicks the animatronics on them, killing these employees to create more remnant.
Just before this happened, a worker at DLZ Shipping Solutions named Jimmy Hauss came to the warehouse to investigate a strange package that was misleadingly said to be sent from his work to the warehouse of Fazbear Funtime Service. He ends up getting killed because he digs too deep. One of the employees of Fazbear Funtime Service whom wasn't killed by the animatronics later finds out about this but doesn't get caught.
The animatronics for the Fazbear Funtime Service then end up secretly killing people at their parties and collecting remnant that will help William create more of his Glitchtrap Virus. William also sends his Shadow Animatronics to tag along, just in case anyone survived and started to collect remnant after catching on to his plans to try and stop him.
Vanny gets a transfer over to the Pizzaplex-in-Construction as the Head Security Guard with the help of Bill.
Bill has Vanny finish the robotic body for Cassidy and successfully bind Cassidy's soul to it. Vanny finds that only available space to assemble Cassidy without little chance of anyone finding out is actually right below the current construction area of the Pizza Place: in it's basement backrooms.
Vanny then starts to look after Cassidy, playing games with him and singing him lullabies when he needs to sleep. The Mimic, who happens to be in a room right under the basement room of the Pizza Place, begins listening to Vanny working with Cassidy and eventually copies Vanny. The Mimic uses Vanny's voice to trick Cassidy into releasing it from the sealed off room by breaking the cement through running a construction vehicle from up above into it.
Luckily for Cassidy, this situation ends up playing a deadly game of hide and seek that eventually ends in him trapping the Mimic, whereupon Cassidy finds and flips off it's switch to power it down.
Vanny finds out about this, through Cassidy communicating it to her through drawings.
This has parallels in Candy Cadet's story about a mother and her son who lived in a cabin in the woods. One day, the mother found a monster and trapped it in the basement. Her son became afraid and mother promised it wouldn't escape. To help her son sleep, she sang him a lullaby at night. The monster heard the lullaby and copied it, causing the son to open up the room it was trapped in. Vanny can be seen as Cassidy's mother, due to being the Glitchtrap Virus, which is an extension of William.
Link to Candy Cadet's story, from the FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Cadet/Audio#Ruin
It also has parallels in the Epilogues of the book series Tales from the Pizzaplex, where it details kids breaking into a warehouse and turning on the Mimic. In the end, most of them die but one, who is able to stop the Mimic by turning off it's power switch.
Link to summaries on the Epilogues from Tales from the Pizzaplex on the FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Tales_from_the_Pizzaplex_Epilogues
Back to the story.
Bill then hands the Mimic over to the animatronics teams by shipping it via truck to the animatronic factory alongside the other salvaged animatronics from Pizza Place. The animatronics team falls in love with the usefulness of the Mimic's design. After all, it could expand and contract to fit most kinds of suits, be it plastic shell or leather. Thus, they begin to make new endos that improve on this design called the Glamrocks, whom would be used for the animatronics of the Mega Pizzaplex.
Bill soon realizes that the Mimic has a different kind of usefulness, too.
Bill had an idea. He shipped the Mimic back to Pizza Place, where they were still doing salvage. And like he anticipated, one of the workers hacked into the Mimic and used it to help speed up the process of moving and taking apart broken animatronic endoskeletons fo salvage. Only, because of how the Mimic interpreted the similarities between endos and humans… it end ups starting to kill them after figuring that humans were no different from endos.
Thus, one of the methods of killing the Mimic learned was by tearing of the limbs and head of an opponent.
William then harvests the remnant created from the Mimic's murders to help make more of his Glitchtrap Virus.
Despite this mishap, the Fazbear team doesn't give up on the Mimic and trying to find a use for it. Bill was quite happy with that.
The Construction of the Pizzaplex eventually comes in conflict with the location of the Afton Household, which is very close to it. Bill lets them build over his house in exchange for letting him keep his living room as a secret place in the Pizzaplex for him to relax in between shifts. Thus, the Afton family moves somewhere else.
==============
2017:
Springtrap uses his magicks to separate the soul of Old Man Consequences into pieces and trap them insides arcade machines of the Princess Quest series as poetic revenge for having the Storyteller keeping him trapped within a game.
Glamrock Endos are fully built for the animatronics that would sing for the Pizzaplex.
The new proto-type animatronic safteymodes built for the Glamrock Endos end up becoming too complicated for even the best and brightest workers at Fazbear Entertainment to easily work with. Even too sophisticated for even the Glitchtrap virus to hack into. Thus, the workers create a simpler saftey mode and begin to make new animatronics to fit them with.
But because the proto-type saftey modes were also tied into the animatronics AI nodes and their mimicing system, they would have to unlearn them. Because of how AI worked, it would take maybe around a year to slowly help the animatronics unlearn the old saftey modes and learn the new ones, THEN finally move them into the animatronics.
To keep easy track of which animatronics have lost their old safteymodes and moved onto the new ones, all animatronics would be branded on one of their feet with the words PROTOTYPE. When they moved over to the new safteymodes, these words would then be painted over.
Pizzaplex building completes. Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex opens to the public. Some of the workers that weren't killed at Fazbear Funtime Service, end up getting jobs at the Pizzaplex and some of them even choose to write notes around the staff areas that read "Remember Jimmy", to remind themselves to watch their 6… because Fazbear Entertainment has STILL got some problems lurking around.
The Glamrock Animatronics consist of: Glamrock Freddy, whom has a chest cavity available to carry cake and presents… and is also big enough to contain a child, unintentionally. Then there is Roxxane Wolf, who often looks after her raceway and over the racers there, as well as oversees a Salon where children can fix her up with makeup and other accessories and as well tend to themselves. There was Glamrock Bonnie, who oversaw a Bowling Alley where he sang and tended to the children who bowled there. Then there was Rockstar Chica, who oversaw a maze and laser tag. After that comes the Theatre Performer, whom was split between the personalities of goodsided Sunnydrop and darksided Moondrop -- they did theatre acts for children, filling in both roles for good and bad characters through switching their personalities. Montgomery Gator comes after that, who oversaw a swamp-themed place where children could golf both on arcade machines and in reality. Then there was DJ Music Man, whom looked after a large arcade.
Freddy's Fantasy Water Park reopens in Meadow Brook, Utah, seeking to make money off the Pizzaplex opening in a town nearby.
Roy begins working at the waterpark and decides to give the animatronics names.
William has Circus Baby's spirit/Elizabeth possess the plushbaby toys around the Pizzaplex. He also has his Shadow Animatronic known as Nightmarionne possess plushtoys of the same name, as well as the wiring that supplies power to the tech around the Pizzaplex. This is done to help to both help keep watch for anyone messing with Glitchtrap's plans and also to help drain the power of the place in case they need to do so to provide a blindspot for anyone messing with William's plans.
Both Bill and Delilah begin working long hours at their jobs, causing Cassie to be left alone at home. This causes her to begin getting into trouble, causing problems for her parents. This might track, since Cassie literally goes exploring the abandoned Pizzaplex all by herself to save a friend in Ruin. This kind of dangerous behaviour might not just be a one-time-thing, so I'm guessing she's done things similar or worse than this before SB: Ruin.
Bill then uses a disguise to enroll Cassidy into the same middle school as Cassie, where he begins living a new life as Gregory. Gregory then tries to make friends with Cassie to keep her out of trouble, but she has trouble opening up to him.
He is a new kid, after all!
That doesn't stop Gregory from trying again and again, though.
What is one of the reasons I believe Gregory is Golden Freddy/Spring Fredbear's possessor?
Remember those lines I mentioned that are behind the voices of some animatronics in UCN that I believe are Golden Freddy? When you compare the voice of Gregory and this one they sound REALLY alike.
Audio from Gregory by way of FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Gregory/Audio?so=search
Mediocre Melody Audio that I think is supposed to be Golden Freddy speaking in the background from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Happy_Frog/Audio (Dialogue Piece 5) https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Nedd_Bear/Audio (Dialogue Piece 5)
Gregory begins hacking the Pizzaplex with his ghostly virus to be able to play the arcade games even after the place closes. He is able to get the top scores for all of them, leaving his name as GGY.
Edwin's divorced wife, Angela agrees to let their son, Ryan Burrows, use the Fazbear Funtime Service for his birthday party. As a result, Ryan and Angela both get slaughtered by the animatronics. Finding this out, Edwin decides to do something.
Using his skills as a detective and using his identity of Jack Burrows, Edwin proves that he is innocent for the crimes commited by Lally. Finally going back to his identity of Edwin Murray, Edwin then forces Fazbear Entertainment to accept him as one of the board members of the company, which Edwin is well within his right to do so due to the deal he struck with Henry so long ago when Henry bought out Sideshow's Snack Shack. Using his this role, Edwin now has room to use his detective skills in order to investigate what was really going on with Fazbear Entertainment.
Henry's spirit possesses Edwin while he's investigating the Pizzaplex and then both of them agree to work together to take down Springtrap's plans.
Seeing that Vanessa is able to compartmentalize Vanny in her mind and becoming afraid that she could possibly teach others the same therapy and help them overcome the Glitchtrap Virus, William separates EVEN more portions from the souls of the people under the Glitchtrap Virus into various arcade cabinets. For Vanessa, he uses Princess Quest. For Michael, he uses Balloon World. For Gabriella and Hope, he uses the VR game of Freddy Fazbear's Virtual Experience.
This way, the Michael and Vanessa will have EVEN less energy to ruin William's plans. They'll basically have to rest every six or seven hours. Which happens to be a perfect amount of time for someone to complete a night shift at Fazbear Entertainment…
And, of course, it totally ruins Vanessa's compartmentalizing of Vanny.
A hint to Michael's spirit being trapped in Balloon World may be the many times where Mike is scared by Balloon Boy figurines in the FNAF Movie.

Bill has the Mimic shipped from storage back to the Pizzaplex, where it was to be used to help manage Mazercise. Instead, the person in charge of the Mimic, who is Bill under the disguise of a person named Leo, brings it under the daycare to be trained alongside other endoskeletons, where he infects it with the Glitchtrap Virus by replacing its training helmet with the Glichtrapped VR game.
Since he has mismanaged the Mimic, Leo/Bill is soon to be fired.
Bill then sends Vanny looks for a place to hide the Mimic so that Fazbear Entertainment cannot take it back. She then discovers a stairwell complete with it's own small room that noone ever uses, because it's basically useless, being a longer way to get to things compared to easier pathways to use.
Leo is fired.
Vanny soon finds out that Glitchtrap Virus doesn't quite mesh completely with the Mimic yet do to Cosie Emily's spirit fighting against it, which causes the Mimic to currently only communicate through drawings… and barely speak or write. It still has questions about itself and what he is and uses mostly ones and zeroes to write or talk. And so, Vanny tries to teach the Mimic about William's family using staffbots and how to talk and write and draw, as this will help it bond completely.
She also tries to send the Mimic to steal Pizza or make hideouts in the vents. Stuff I'm sure William has probably done during some of his murder sprees. And thus, a sort of way of reminding the Glitchtrap Virus who it was.
Vanny then begins to hit a few walls along the way. The Mimic begins plastering the walls with sticky notes mostly to just tell her to leave it's new special place.
Help Wanted happens: Due to Vanny's roadblocks, Glitchtrap gets Gregory play Freddy Fazbear's Virtual Experience and corrupt him with the Glitchtrap Virus, thus recruiting his help with the Mimic.
Glitchtrapped Gregory begins to call himself Dr. Rabbit.
Dr. Rabbit then starts to try and bond with the Mimic by teaching it games and playing the games with it, how to use Dr. Rabbit's own version of sign language and using it to talk trash behind Vanny's back, how to make plushies and using them to play with and then finally making up their own language together of lines headed by various shapes.
This begins to work quite well. You see, Vanny was all about work, whereas Dr. Rabbit's approach was about making work seem like play (and sometimes it just was, too). The Mimic really wanted to play since it was in a child-like stage, so that's why it worked.
This is mirrored in Tales From the Pizzaplex story The Mimic, where Edwin's son, David and the Mimic do these things.

Glitchtrapped Gregory/Dr. Rabbit decides to begin killing off his school counselors, whom also act as therapists for Fazbear employees, using animatronics after they keep getting closer to discovering that he isn't a real human.
The 1st Therapist known as Mary Schneider, after being killed by the new Circus Baby from the reopened Rentals place, possessses her. I think this is due to how Baby mentions in Help Wanted 2 that she feels safe within the Rentals place she is found in. This could line up with what the 1st Therapist says how it feels better when the shades are closed in a room because it's like being in a cave. Circus Baby's is located underground in a cave, so there's that. The 1st Therapist also has a similar sounding voice to Circus Baby.

The 2nd Therapist known as Raelynn Lawrence possesses the new Ballora after being slain by her. This therapist sounds similar to Ballora, to start out. Then there's the bit where the 2nd Therapist seems to get peeved at her patients not wanting to open up to her when she's just trying to help them. This is similar to Ballora's song and how it asks why a person hides inside their walls while she is singing within her halls. Ballora is trying to make them feel better with a song; the 2nd Therapist shows care to her patients to make them feel better. This is so each person they are talking to can feel good enough to admit their problems and recieve help from Ballora and the 2nd Therapist. But the patients and the person chose to ignore their kindnesses and keep their problems hidden instead of letting Ballora and the 2nd Therapist help them overcome them.

Vanny begins to search online for costume materials to make a costume for her personailty that resembles a white, grey bunny costume with a blue bow.
The 3rd Therapist known as Treena Welch is slain by Funtime Chica and possesses her. They have similar voices, again. And in the inkblot test, the 3rd Therapist sees a face, possbily meaning she cares about her appearance. This matches up with Funtime Chica who is all about getting her pictures taken.

A blurry image of Dr. Rabbit is soon discovered on camera walking around the Pizzaplex before going to work on the Mimic.
Dr. Rabbit's plan works out and the Mimic merges completely with the Glitchtrap Virus. Thus, it learns hacking skills from the virus.
Bill then "finds" the Mimic and hands it to Fazbear Entertainment, suggesting they begin to modify it to create a new animatronic known as the Storyteller, which wouldhelp bring in more customers. This animatronic would be connected to all electronics, such as children's walkie-talkies, and animatronics in the Pizzaplex through either wires or using radio signals to listen and learn from the attendees and thus cater to them specifically.
The Mimic's new updates as the Storyteller animatronic are completed by the technicians and it is set up to connect to a Baobab Tree in the Atrium of the Pizzaplex that connects to all the systems and animatronics. Thus, the Glitchtrap Virus finally takes hold of the Pizzaplex.
Under this Glitchtrap Virus, the Glamrock Animatronics begin to change for the worse in their personalities. Roxy becomes self-absorbed, obssessed with besting others in games and the like, not to mention sadistic. Chica becomes so focused on eating that she hurts anynone around her just to have their food for herself. Montgomery Gator took his dramatic nature to another level -- letting out his feelings on objects and people or simply hiding himself away for long periods of time. Moondrop becomes violent with people. No matter the animatronic, their problems begin to interfere with shows and interactions with children and even staff.
Because the Glitchtrap Virus keeps recreating itself over and over again and becomes hard to delete the staff give up on destroying it. Instead, they try to deal with the animatronics new behaviour by giving Pizzaplex staff warnings and instructions for the staff on how to keep the animatronics in check. They do this by catoring to their behaviours such as giving lots of attention to Roxanne Wolf and letting her win games instead of defeating her or giving Montgomery Gator things he can smash up.
You see, the animatronics eventually calm down enough once you cator enough to their new needs that they basically become normal again. They don't have an insatiable thirst for their needs, it seems.
This was likely intentional, since Glitchtrap knows the place would be put out of business and thus out of remnant collection if he didn't give the virus it's limits. But due to having these needs, their was always a chance that staff could slip up a small enough amount of times that it wouldn't attract too much attention and the Pizzaplex could cover it up or pay it off easily. More importantly, it still provided the chance to make remnant without any risk.
This mirrors the novel Tales from the Pizzaplex: The Bobbiedots Conclusion and it's story called the Storyteller. The story is almost completely the same, so I won't say anything about it.
Info on the Storyteller from FNaF: the Novel Wiki: https://fnaf-the-novel.fandom.com/wiki/The_Storyteller
Fazbear Entertainment reprograms the Theatre Attendant into the Daycare Attendant (Which goes so much faster, since it isn't something as complicated as the Proto-type Safetymodes), who looks after children in the Pizzaplex's Daycare, and thus moves them into the Daycare. Meanwhile, Staffbots work in their place at the theatre. Due to the Glitchtrap Virus, Moondrop could not be removed from the Daycare Attendant, which also caused the Daycare Attendant to have lingering parts from his original Theatre Attendant code because of it. So, Fazbear Entertainment simply decide to always keep the lights on, since the lights going out would bring Sunnydrop to transform into Moondrop.
Because of the power being drained in the daycare often due to Nightmarionne, the lights start going out and cause Moondrop to come out. Due to the need of time and money they didn't want to spend, Fazbear Entertainment simply puts generators into the Daycare section of the Pizzaplex so that if the power goes out, the generators will quickly switch on and keep Moondrop from coming out.
This info on the Daycare Attendant mirrors the Bobbiedots Part 1 from the novel Tales from The Pizzaplex: Submechanophobia. Its very similar so I won't say much on it.
Link to info on this Tales from the Pizzaplex story from the FNaF: the Novel Wiki (Paragraph 11): https://fnaf-the-novel.fandom.com/wiki/Tales_from_the_Pizzaplex:_Submechanophobia#Bobbiedots_Part_1
After Gregory fails to keep Cassie out of trouble, Bill and Delilah put Cassie in the Daycare at the Pizzaplex. It's a great plan, since the Daycare Attendant is really good at keep people from escaping it's realm -- unlike the bots staffing the place beforehand.
Somniphobia (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs.
Submechanophobia (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs.
Because of going to daycare at such a late age, Cassie ends up being shunned by her peers, who bully her for her situation. This eventually causes conflict between her and friends, because those who hang around her are also bullied. Thus, when Cassie has a birthday on March 11th with animatronic Roxxane Wolf, none of her friends show up. Gregory happened to be around the Pizzaplex at the time (He wasn't invited to her party because Cassie didn't accept him as a friend) and bumped into Cassie while she was crying about her situation. He comforted her and they finally became true friends.
Glamrock Bonnie, whom has yet to have their proto-type safemode removed, starts to catch onto something bad going down at the Pizzaplex. Bonnie then starts to investigate and put a stop to it, ending up confronting Vanessa about it.
Vanny gets ahead of Bonnie, though, and sets a trap for the animatronic just before their confrontation and what's more AT the SITE of their confrontation.
Glamrock Bonnie is destroyed by having Montgomery Gator drop bowling balls onto them from the catwalks above Gator Golf. Bonnie is then replaced by Montgomery Gator.
A parallel to this could be one of the visual scenes for a Gutter Ball in Help Wanted 2 for Bonnie Bowl that occurs after making a move being a bowling ball styled after Monty falling and crushing another ball styled after Bonnie.

GGY (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) happens.
The 4th Therapist is slain by Glamrock Chica and possesses her. The 4th Therapist mentions how something is like a chicken running around with it's head cut off. This can line up with how Glamrock Chica gets her voice box stolen -- a part of her head.

The 5th Therapist possesses Glamrock Bonnie after being slain by him. This therapist mentions how they think something resembles rabbit ears -- Bonnie has rabbit ears. The 5th Therapist discovers how their patient has been hacking the Pizzaplex and confronts them on it. Like I discuss later in my theory, this is just like how Glamrock Bonnie discovers that Vanny is behind the Pizzaplex's chaos and confronts her. Just like how Bonnie dies, it is suggested that the 5th Therapist does not survive.

The Storyteller (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) occurs: … MORE TO BE ADDED HERE …
Henry stops possessing Edwin and begins wandering around the Pizzaplex as a spirit again.
Sammy eventually suffocates, but comes back to life as a vampire. He is then rescued from the Baobab tree before he can truly die due to hunger.
Due to deaths involving the Storyteller, Fazbear Entertainment then begins to remove the Storyteller and it's Baobab Tree attraction form the main atrium of the Pizzaplex after 3 weeks of use. As it had begun to be removed from it's attraction, the Storyteller transfered it's Glitchtrapped AI programming over to a new AR Booth attraction, where it disguises itself as a new animatronic called Tiger Rock and begins to trap people in the VR World inside and torment them until they die. Remnant, of course, is created and thus harvested by Glitchtrap.
Tiger Rock (Tales from the Pizzaplex story) takes place.
Due to more deaths and the animatronics acting up… Fazbear Entertainment finally gives up on the Mimic.
Thus, the Mimic came into Bill's hands, who gladly volunteered to even go near it when noone else would for fear of death.
And, of course, Glitchtrap wouldn't actually lock it away.
Dr. Rabbit also works with Vanny in the Pizza Place basement to fuse what's left of Scraptrap to a new Glamrock Endoskeleton for William to use. Glitchtrap also begins harvesting remnant from the Glamrock Animatronics, which they attain after killing employees, to use for help in binding William's spirit to his new endoskeleton.
==============
2018:
Stanley Miner dies during a tonsillectomy since he suffered an infection. As a result, his son and his wife, Oscar and Mavis, take on the surname of Avila.
By now, the Storyteller part of the Pizzaplex is fully removed.
A new attraction in the Pizzaplex known as Captain Foxy's Log Ride starts construction.
Michael lets Cassie ride with Roxxane Wolf on one of the test drives for Captain Foxy's Log Ride. At the end of the ride, Cassie and Roxy use paint to leave handmarks behind on the vehicle they rode.
Vanny ends up firing most of the human staff and replacing them with staffbots. Most of the staff still employed are bumped done to lower paying jobs and then are eventually called to an all-staff meeting where she offers them great benefits if they willing chose to join William's side. They all refuse, being slain by staffbots.
Vanny and Bill survive because they are behind it, of course.
And so, by this time, almost all the Pizzaplex is handled by staffbots.
Glitchtrap has the spirit of original Circus Baby/Elizabeth possess the staffbots that look like her. Meanwhile, he would have Nightmarionne possess regular staffbots, which would turn them into Nightmarionne Staffbots.
This is mirrored in the story of Candy Cadet about the family who were offered a great deal for food that had every food item they could possibly want, yet it was VERY high-priced. The family refused and died because of it. The staff at the Pizzaplex could be seen as a family since they all sort of work together and spend time together as one. Perhaps it's BECAUSE William saw them as a family that he even offered them to join him willingly instead of just forcing them to his side.

The Vanni Mask (Which resembles the Vanny headpiece from Vanny's costume) with it's AI system that aids the wearer aptly named HELPI (Which is a version of the animatronic called Helpy) and the inhibitors are created. The Vanni Mask is to be worn by all human employees, since it helps them see a new AR World that is created for the Pizzaplex, which can only be seen by those wearing the Vanni Mask, since it bypasses the inhibitors illusionary technology. The inhibitors are placed around the Pizzaplex to use illusionary light technology hide and even block off places for employees only from the public.
The reason they are implemented is due to the worry of people breaking into employees-only areas. After all, previous employees, such as techs and therapists had made notes on the Pizzaplex suffering from what they think is a virus and have even found people such as Gregory sneaking around at night on cameras. With all that in mind… OF COURSE they'd jump on this, right?
These Vanni Masks are also used to infect anyone human who works at the Pizzaplex with the Glitchtrap Virus so that they cannot interfere with the plans of William.
After seeing Bill come home one day with his Vanni Mask on by accident, this sets off a wave of questions in the Chica Bully/Delilah since the mask is basically a copy of Spring Bonnie and thus William Afton. She begins to do her own small investigation into the Pizzaplex and figures out that William had possessed Vanessa through the Glitchtrap Virus and thus ventured to the Pizzaplex to kill Vanny, thinking to have her revenge. Dr. Rabbit finds her, helping her find the way down through the Pizzaplex into the Pizza Place basement where he said Vanny often returned to work out her plans for the Pizzaplex. Since it was such a long and taxing journey, Dr. Rabbit convinced the Delilah to wait and sleep until Vanny arrived.
That was when Vanny showed up, trapping the sleeping Delilah in the Pizza Place and burning her to death.
This has a parallels with Candy Cadet's story about a witch who almost ate a young girl by luring her into her house so she could put her in her oven and eat her. The girl escaped but not without a scar. She then grew up into a woman and sought revenge upon the witch. She then met a young boy who convinced her to rest before finally meeting the witch at her house, since the woman's journey was so long to return and kill the witch. The witch then shut her in the oven and had her meal.
Delilah, after all, was almost burnt to death by William when she was younger. She also got burns scars from his trap he set her in, as well. William himself was once a magician; a wizard. Vanny can be seen as a witch since she is an extension of William through his Glitchtrap Virus.

The Delilah goes on to possess Roxanne Wolf. They both want revenge against someone. Roxy seeks venegance against Gregory. The Chica Bully seeks revenge on William. They are also both scarred by the person they seek revenge on, as well. That's my line of thought on it.

A sinkhole opens up beneath the Pizza Place, causing it to fall in due to the Tangle moving around down there because of the fire in the Pizza Place, and thus Glamrock Freddy is used to help clear the way back down there. Elevators are built and the hole is built over. During this time, Henry's spirit possesses Glamrock Freddy.
The newly-fire damaged Pizza Place is fit with an inhibitor, which hides the damage plus the new BIG, SUSPICIOUS HOLE to the basement made by Freddy from employees using the illusionary lights.
Out of Stock (Fazbear Frights story) occurs…
Dittophobia (Fazbear Fright's story) occurs: Oswald wakes up one day to realize he's aged ten years and has a foggy memory of what's happening. He realizes that the house he was living in was fake save for a few items of sustenance to keep him alive -- even the monsters that were out to get him every night were just cheap robots. He eventually finds his way into Circus Baby's and searchs around till he finds he can't escape the place because there is no active power at the moment to help use the elevators. Soon enough, Oswald finds a walkie-talkie and tunes it into the signal for his friend Ben, who is secretly Springtrap.
Ben tells him everything he's missed and Wade figures out that the fake house must have a generator and that might also help power Circus Baby's.
So, Oswald finds it and turns it on. That's when the speaker plays a recorded message, reminding Oswald of his past life and convincing him to return to his room and keep living as he was. After all, unlike Oswald's past life, nothing there in the fake house can actually hurt him verbally or physically. Oswald agrees and returns to that torturous life.
Michael begins to pick up on Bill, his Glitchtrapped alternate personality, and his plans for the Pizzaplex. Since it works both ways that neither personality can remember the other's actions, Michael is able to work in secret to stop Bill's plans.
Michael learns that parts of his own soul and portions of Vanessa and Gregory's souls have been sealed away in either arcade cabinents or VR games by William using his ghostly Glitchtrap Virus.
FNAF: Help Wanted 2 (Vanni Mask on) + PQ1/PQ2 MAINT LOGS, OUT OF ORDER and RED FLAG occur. Since most of the pizzaplex is staffed by bots with computer programming, Michael is able to hack the bots so that he can get a job for ALL of the shifts meant for MULTIPLE people that are for repairing and testing out animatronics and attractions at the Pizzaplex, Fazbear Carnival and Circus Baby's Rentals. He also uses his vampiric power of flesh-shaping to disguise himself so he cannot be recognized by the animatronics.
The reason why many animatronics ask what makes the Protagonist so special during the shifts/minigames is this: they are the ONLY one working these RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS of hours. Shifts meant for MORE than just ONE person.
Why is the protagonist so special that they get to do them ALL?
Link to animatronics question what makes the protagonist so special from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Mystic_Hippo#Audio (Audio Piece 41) https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Circus_Baby/Audio#Five_Nights_at_Freddy's:_Help_Wanted_2 (Audio Piece 27)
Using this job, Michael takes the first couple minutes of each of his shifts to try and find the BB's World Arcade Machine, the Help Wanted VR game and the Princess Quest Game Series of Arcade Cabinents. He ends up never finding BB's World, but does discover the Help Wanted VR game. He then spends these first couple of minutes to play the VR game and free Gregory, Vanessa's soul part, and his own soul portion. After he's finished that, he starts playing the Princess Quest games but runs into trouble in completing them.
This is why in many of the shifts Michael starts, the robots who oversee his jobs mention him being late -- like always.
Why do I believe we play as Michael Afton in Help Wanted 2?
Well, in the minigame Office: Job Interview, the new Circus Baby she says she recognizes the protagonist. I've mentioned previously that William had infected Circus Baby's Rentals with the Glitchtrap Virus, so who I think is speaking here isn't the therapist possessing the animatronic but rather the Glitchtrap Virus. Why does it recognize Michael? Because no matter how much he changes how the shape of his flesh appears… he cannot change it's rotting, purple color.
Well, he CAN use make-up. And I believe he does do that. But there's also a chance Mike might slip up and forget to use make-up in a certain area, maybe. What with all the stress he's going through trying to figure out these arcade games… I'm sure he's got it.
As far as we know, the only vampire left in this series now is Michael.

Also, in the Fazerblast Minigame, Carnie tells the protagonist that they look like they could have kids. This means they are an adult. So that leaves us with Michael and Vanny.
Carnie's Audio from FNaF Wiki: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Carnie?so=search#Audio (Audio Pieces 24 - 25)
And in the Princess Quest IV Ending, we can also find a Bonnie Mask in a trunk. The protagonist says it looks familiar. That might be because they are Michael, who has probably caught glimpses of Bill and his collection of Bonnie items.

And, saving thes best for last: the duffel bags, from which the stories of PQ1 MAINT LOG, PQ2 MAINT LOG, OUT OF ORDER, RED FLAG and ARCADE CONSPIRACY come from. When comparing the messages here to the dialogue of Michael in one of the endings for Sister Location, we see that they have similarities. Both texts have short sentences. Both texts even have this quote: I did it.

Back to the story.
The Captain Foxy's Log Ride is deemed a failure before it ever opens to the public and thus they begin to dismantle it.
ARCADE CONSPIRACY occurs: Michael is fired from the job due to being late to all of his shifts because of playing the arcade games.
Gregory takes refuge in Bill's room, maping out his plan to stop William. He uses his special language built between him and Vanny to help think up his plan, writing it on the walls. And just in case Vanny somehow gets to read it, he writes it in an obscure way only he can understand. Each time Bill enters the room, he just pretends that he's under the influence of the Glitchtrap virus.
Michael makes a new disguise for himself and gets shifts again at Fazbear Entertainment's Pizzaplex, Carnival and Circus Baby's. As for how he is able to do this when it seems the Glichtrap Virus had recognized him? Well, I do theorize this game to also take place during Security Breach. So, what I'm guessing is that Michael hasn't been caught yet; he has a make-up mistake during Security Breach only.
Anyways, Gregory is forced to begin hiding around the Pizzaplex since Vanny is chasing him down. On this same night, he sets out to enact his plan.
To help him, Gregory reintroduces the proto-type safteymode into the AI Node for Glamrock Freddy. Gregory then causes a malfunction in Glamrock Freddy, which reboots him into that prototype safe mode, freeing him from the Glitchtrap Virus. Gregory recruits Freddy due to the stomach hatch he had built into him, which could help hide Gregory from Vanny and the Glamrock animatronics when they came searching for him.
FNAF: Security Breach begins on the night of March 9th.
Help Wanted 2 (Mask On) ends + Princess Quest IV Ending: the Glitchtrap Virus informs William of Michael trying to stop them. They Glitchtrapped Animatronics try again and again to get Michael, but fail. William even tries using Mystic Hippo and text on security cameras to remind Michael that he helped William murder at Silver Parasol under the disguise of Jeremy so as to make Mike emotional enough that he slips up and lets the animatronics kill him. That doesn't work, either.
Ultimately, William tricks Michael through a Glitchtrapped Mystic Hippo to play a type of Princess Quest IV game he has yet to find. An alpha version. This ultimately leads to Glitchtrap using the game to trap another portion of his soul there.
Why Do I believe Help Wanted 2 also occurs during Security Breach? Well, the in the minigame Foodprep's Pizza Pizza Pizza category, we see Glamrock Chica has become streaked and blotched in grime. We also see her like this in Security Breach, as well.

Security Breach ends on the Morning of March 10th: Through successfully winning all the Princess Quest Games both completed and Alpha versions, the Balloon Boy's World Game, and the Freddy Fazbear's Virtual Experience VR game, thus uniting the soul fragments scattered throughout them, Gregory ends up giving Vanessa, Michael, Hope and Gabriella enough of their parts of their separated souls that they can function enough to work against William. Also, Old Man Consequences is freed from all of the games by having his soul released and reunited.
As a result of this, Baby uses her demonic/angelic powers to create the Dream World, another game-like world resembling the Fury's Rage game by Fazbear Entertainment. She pulls Michael, Gregory, Vannessa, Hope, Gabriella and OMC into the world, causing them to fall into comas. Baby turns herself into the Dreamgeist, the ruler of this world who sends enemies against the four. The Dreamgeist is helped by the Glitchtrapped personalities of Vanny, the VR Sisters (Hope and Gabriella), Soulbrawler (Bill), and Mega Brow (Dr. Rabbit).
Security Breach: Fury's Rage occurs: With the help of OMC's angelic powers, Michael, Gregory and Vanessa fight against the Dreamgeist as well as their Glitchtrapped Personalities, the latter of which they destroy with OMC angelic powers, thus redeeming their spirits from the sins they commited whilst under the Glitchtrap Virus. They win, freeing themselves from the clutches of Glitchtrap as well as from their comas.
I believe this redemption is hinted at through one of the restuarants names in Stage 1 of SB: Fury's Rage, which is called Restauration. This is the French version for the word Restoration. In theology, restoration means the redeeming the soul of a sinner.

So… this now leaves the technology around the Pizzaplex and the animatronics still infected the Glitchtrap Virus, as well as the Shadow Animatronic of Nightmarionne and Original Circus Baby's spirit to deal with.
Being one of the Glitchtrapped animatronics that sees what's happening with William's plans being upended, the Mimic tries to kill everyone by hacking into the Tangle, causing it to reopen the sinkhole under the Fazbear Pizza Complex.
Michael rushes to the building just after it gets ruined and tries to stop the Mimic. He helps Vanessa and Gregory escape from it and give them enough time to whip up a plan and supplies to take care of the Mimic whilst he grabs it's attention. The Mimic then ends up luring Michael into a room, where it hacks into the still-running systems and locks him in the room, draining it of oxygen. This, however doesn't kill Michael, due to him being a vampire. To trick the Mimic into thinking he's dead, he covers himself up with construction papers and stops moving.
This might mirror Edwin Murray's death, where he slowly dies due to lack of oxygen in a room. He is then found later buried in a pile of construction papers.
Link to info on Edwin's death from FNaF Wiki (Paragraph 6): https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Edwin_Murray?so=search#The_Storyteller
Gregory and Vanessa are able to lure and trap the Mimic in it's original containment room. As Henry did once before, they use cement to blocking vents and doorways to the room.
FNAF AR: Special Delivery ends.
Even after being disconnected from the Pizzaplex, the Mimic uses it's new modifications to send out radio signals to reconnect and hack into certain things. It finds it can only connect to things such as children's walkie-talkies.
Through the help of Old Man Consequences angelic magicks, Gregory and Vanessa capture a part of the Glitchtrap Virus and make it bend to their will. This creates a safer variant of the Glitchtrap Virus, which they combine with the original M.X.E.S Program and the AR technology of the Vanni Mask and the inhibitors. This new MXES Program would connect to security nodes and animatronics, who would be infected with the new, safer variant of the Glitchtrap Virus under the command of Michael, Gregory and Vanessa. The new MXES Program would help keep the Mimic from breaking out by dampering it's radio signals and cause the animatronics to scare people off from wandering around and possibly messing up the security nodes. This MXES Program would be used to help rebuild the Pizzaplex while at the same time preventing them from accidentily breaking one of the security nodes while cleaning up.
The MXES Program doesn't totally work on the Mimic, although, because the Glitchtrap Virus in the Mimic simply keeps making new versions of itself, as well as new radio signals to send out when it's previous ones fail or die. The Mimic also is able to discover it can hack into the VANNI masks and it's Helpi system, since it also runs off of radio signals.
Same goes for the animatronics and the technology for the Pizzaplex, whom aren't totally cured of the Glitchtrap Virus by MXES since the Glitchtrap Virus keep changing and recreating itself to evade total ruin. So, of course, the animatronics are liable to kill at times, and technology itself can make that happen more often.
FNAF: Help Wanted 2 (Vanni Mask off) occurs on March 10th. Michael goes back to working his shifts, making sure the animatronics work as well as they can on the refurbished MXES program pitted against the original Glitchtrap Virus. He ends up installing a security node designed as a mask on Roxanne Wolf.
This was something that he, Gregory and Vanessa had been working on. A mask that not only acted as a security node, but also would slowly install a proto-type safemode into the animatronic that wore it, thus truthfully rescuing the animatronic from the Glitchtrap Virus.
Michael puts on his Vanni Mask in the Employee Hub when he finds a gift is waiting for him. He finds staffbots, possessed by Nightmarionne, surround him and tear him apart on the orders of William's very ghost, whom is climbing out of a charging station. Michael's remains are then stuffed into the Maskbot, causing him to possess it.
Why do I think it's William's ghost commanding the Nightmarionne Bots here?
Well, the costumed hand we see climbing out of the charging station looks very similar to the hand of Glitchtrap from Help Wanted 2. Also, the other places we see this costumed hand comes out of in Help Wanted 2 seem to be things it's whole body could never fit in unless it were a ghost, such as inside machines only made to hold cups or literal small drawers for a desk.
Also, there's something about how the costumed hand appears. It is almost always reaching out from something below, except in only one case with the desk mentioned above. Never hanging or appearing by itself in mid-air. For me, this brings to mind the Japanese ghost of Hanako-san, whose hand comes out of the toilet she haunts.
SURE -- we never see the costumed hand coming out of toilets but it's always coming out of something BELOW. Toilets, for most humans, are something below our own height, so there's that. Also -- FNaF already has some references to Japanese culture… why not some more?
Plus, it has ghosts.

Back to the story.
Fazbear Entertainment begins working to clean up the Pizzaplex.
Fazbear Entertainment covers up the sinkhole opening up again by saying it was an earthquake.
Michael's family is made aware of his death. Cassie is taken in by Vanessa.
Gregory goes into hiding due to being caught on camera in the Pizzaplex and suspected of tampering with animatronics and/or causing the Sinkhole situation. He, although, is able to secretly come back in to help work on things with Vanessa's help.
Gregory is declared missing since he stops going to school to spend most of his time to help deal with the Glitchtrap situation.
FNAF: Security Breach Ruin happens on the evening of March 10th: The Mimic hacks into a piece of tech Vanessa brings home and uses it to contact Cassie Afton and convince her to free it by tricking her into thinking it is Gregory, whom has been trapped in the Pizzaplex. Cassie arrives to the Pizzaplex on her birthday: the 11th.
As poetic revenge for ruining his plans, William has Maskbot/Michael give his own daughter a Vanni mask that is hacked by the Mimic, whom infects Cassie with the Glitchtrap Virus.
Despite being able to kill Cassie right when it finds her, the Mimic decides to torment her first since that was Glitchtrap's way of doing things. Thus, it tricks Cassie into thinking there might be a way out through mimicing Gregory again. It leads her to an elevator only to cut the ropes on it, planning to kill her with the impact of the fall.
This, although, doesn't work as Cassie survives… due to being a dhampir/half-vampire. So to say, she simply healed from her wounds. She is then found by Mimic, who is copying Roxxane Wolf…
Ruin ends on March 11th.
Next three dlc's occur, truly making SB, a FIVE NIGHTS at Freddy's game. Oscar Avila, Asher Eccles and Todd Mott are the next protagonists. Oscar will team up with Chica, Todd will team up with Monty, and Asher will team up with Eclipse.
Oscar's surname, after all, can originate from a diminutive form of Avis, which means bird.
Info on Avila surname from Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%81vila#Spanish
As for how it will all end?
To me, it seems like there is only one answer. William has to WILLINGLY give up his evil ways. After all, it's the only way William can actually die -- that his victims, which can be seen as a part of his plans, can move on -- since Lucifer's gift keeps William and his endeavors alive so long as he sticks to evil. But if he abandons evil, Lucifer will take away William's gift, truly kill him and punish him forever in Hell.
I think Cassie will somehow end up viewing a lot of William's memories, and thus she will have the info to help convince William to give up his evil ways. She will get William to remember, even realize that small part of him that lead him to accept him to accept the kid that came out of an AFFAIR between his BEST friend and WIFE. That small part that made him have kids, that made him get married, made him make friends… that made him learn magicks to help his family and their carnival.
Some part of William couldn't let his children go when they died. Some part of him was willing to go so far as to abandon all the things he'd built up and start all over again with a new identity just so his children could live a normal life.
William has to realize he can't have both worlds, as evil eventually blots out all notice of good.
William began abusing his kids, torturing his daughter after she possessed Circus Baby. William convinced himself that, though the people at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza were still connected to him some way, since they were now Henry's workers, they were alright to be killed. William began to turn people he considered his own workers, a thing he saw as family, into slaves for his plan -- even sacrifices for his plan. He turned his sons and grandchildren into slaves, too. Because it was more convenient for his plan… William didn't even bother building a life-like robot body for his daughter. And he even killed one of his children and is willing to kill the rest of them.
William will realize that he'll have nothing in the end because of his evil ways… but also that he'll have nothing in Hell, as well. But maybe, just MAYBE he'll realize that last part isn't true. If William abandons his evil ways, he'll WILL go to Hell… but he'll also know that while he is suffering himself, his family of friends, workers and blood relatives will be suffering less on his account.
In my eyes… this is the most Christian-feeling thing I've ever heard. Also very anime. Truly, the power of God and Anime is on the side of this story.

Hi Lys, it's me again, the bunny dreamer here. I saw two other dreams that involved bird/ animals recently and I was wondering if the three dreams are connected in some way. I have never seen dreams where animals or birds are the main focus, except dogs. Dogs are kind of bad warnings for me. And all this dream were under 10 days.
Dream1: bunny dream
Dream 2: I don't remember exactly what I saw but there's one bit that I remember clearly, it's that I bought insects, animals and birds in a bag and released them in a dark room..it was a gift for my mother. I first showed it to my father. He said mother will like it. Then my mother came back home, (I think she went to out to run errands or something) and I showed her and she said it's nice but now we have to put them back in the bag because guests are coming over (the dark room was actually a guest room) and we have to get the room ready for them. And now we were wondering how do we get all of them back in the bag. I don't remember what animals and living creatures I bought but I do remember there was a chicken, living breathing chicken inside the room.
Dream3: So first I got the vibe that it was lamb and he was baby boy lamb. And I or someone had placed this sage/ olive green color gymnastic mats on the stairs of my house (the house was well lit, white walls, kind of like modern American house). To the left of the stairs at the bottom was our main entrance door. So the lamb would slide down the mats and then go up and again slide down the mat....he was basically playing. I don't know when this lamb turned into a baby boy, almost like a toddler. There was another kid (boy) who might be my nephew or son, I think I was tending to him and looking for any injuries if he got while sliding down the mat with the lamb. Then the lamb turned boy looked at me and said "dd- dda- dada", not daddy but big brother. The baby couldn't speak properly yet, he could speak few words. He was learning how to speak. I told him, he is not here but I can clean you up. He then comes to me and he blabbers something. I then tell him, you can hang tightly on my neck i.e. hug me really tight, I won't let anything happen to you as I am cleaning his feet. I don't know why he got very emotional, had happy tears in his eyes and suddenly I heard someone saying (not the baby) "No human has treated us like this before." And he had sandy brown/ blonde curly hair and was in diapers.
The reason why I am sharing these dreams is because I am very confused why I saw these dreams.
Hello! Yes animals in general carry a specific meaning that should help understand us and our emotions, also according on what goes on between us and them. I guess dogs, that generally represent loyalty and protection, may mean the opposite if they're not on your side or something happens in the dream. Ofc, depends on many factors and your own life too (how you perceive those animals irl: eg. if you're scared of dogs, they ofc bring bad news for you no matter the general acception that surrounds them).
Let's see your other dreams and then let's try to check if there's a possible correlation.
All in all, I think all of these dreams can be considered of guidance to you. Even more since you remembered them well. Usually we tend to remember (or suddenly remember) dreams that do carry an important message for us, whether it's from our subconscious or the 5d.
Dream2: I think you have a lot inside, like you may want to get free from something, be you, feel independent, abundant but you may still not be able to reach that. You're probably trying to work on your self worth, or distancing (?) yourself from others' values, to find your own path. But still this is something kinda scary, as it may make you feel inscure and vulnerable. You are still hiding parts of yourself, cause you probably fear not being appreciated. And maybe that's what you were (even unconsciously) taught: you're okay, but it's better to not let some parts of you out cause you may get judged and not nurtured or praised as you'd like to (maybe you had to overwork to get praised/feel seen/appreciated? But even so it didn't always worked as you wished?). You may be a little stressed about this situation, so I think the general meaning of the dream is to give yourself rest and nurture yourself. Maybe there's a change ahead for what concerns how you care for yourself too, how you see yourself, or maybe you've already started this process despite it's scary (if so, well done). Like, if you've been or felt neglected, give back to yourself and... try to not hide those sides of you, your needs for nurturing and protection, anymore. At least you, listen to yourself. And validate yourself (especially if you rely mostly on external validation or guidance).
Dream3: I suppose this is not your house from how you describe it? You may be nearby a new start in your life. You still may feel anxious about it ofc, or unsure, and you may be searching for peace of mind and time to unwind (cause it's something heavy), as you used to do when you were a child: have no worries, just enjoy. And honestly, I feel like despite the worries may be very heavy to you, you can find balance and peace as you move and grow through them. Also in this dream there's the need for care, protection and nurturing as you show these traits in taking cares of the two boys (checking for injuries, cleaning them...). Maybe you need more nurturing from your family/relationships (or you need them in a different way than how you get them), or maybe again you need to give it to yourself, to give yourself more credit for what you've been through and how you made it, to see your worth and how caring and nice you are (and maybe should be like that with yourself too -your inner child may feel hurt and need your healing/care). I think you may feel hurt too at this point by something happened in your relationships-field, and maybe you're learning now how to express your feelings, how to see what happened from a different perspective (and point it out, call it with its name) and how to see yourself for who you are. It's still a work in progress. You're trying to be more careful about your emotions and name them, listen to them and to yourself. And since it's something you may feel you have rarely experienced in your life, rememeber to give yourself time to get used to it. And also, it's okay to "fail" at times or go back into the old mental pattern. Just remember you can get out and you will.
Since more or less all the dreams were encouraging you to take steps towards a new cycle/start and believe in yourself, I guess that yes they were all connected in guiding your next steps and giving you comfort as you walk through (and remind to give yourself comfort and peace/breaks too). Reminding of your self worth and that you can make it through anything and reach your goals. In the bunnies' dream you got (if I remember well) that you would have received further infos/clarity, right? I will check but if so, I guess these two dreams were it. Or at least, part of those infos.
Take care dear<3

Another long post in coming:
This fandom has gotten so weird.
I do not know what it is but something has definitely shifted and it honestly makes me uncomfortable to see how open some of you will be when it comes to not only invading drivers privacy but also just their general life it almost feels like.
Not only has it become normal that drivers are sexualized and treated like characters from a fucking TV Show but you are also all way too comfortable when it comes to treating them like an almost object. The amount of shit that some of you will post on public platforms where drivers can easily get access to is genuinely baffling. Some of you will have no hesitation telling a driver they should get ride of themselves but then will be not be sure about a fucking driver change?
So many of you will be so open to make posts about drivers ships and then go to said drivers and demand they comment on it and it's like, when did you all get so comfortable? Who gave you the right to demand a person's opinion on a complete non-existent relationship that you created in your fantasy?
Not to mention this weird wag culture, drivers insert like they don't have real girlfriends and this doesn't border on objectifying the drivers.
I know some of you might be young but the way many of you behave is truly not okay and you should maybe take a step back if you can't figure out why your behavior might not be mean.
And I don't mean there is anything wrong with complementing a drivers appearance or mentioning how the friendship of two drivers is sweet or intriguing.
There is a line and then there is going widely beyond.
Not to mention the complete willingness with which you will all blatantly play favorites like all of these drivers haven't done or said fucked up things in the past. They are human , they are bound to make mistakes. Of course you do not have to forgive them for that especially not when their hurtful actions affected you directly but don't act like most of these people would even be able to find a common ground with most of probably very open-minded and colorful folks. I can tell you that most of these man would probably if you actually talked to them one way or another in the way that some of you want to, turn out even shittier than previously assumed because their nothing like us common folks. They life in a compleltly separate and different environment than any normal working class person and they grew up in such a secluded way that ignorance is probably something that is bound to have been taught to most of them. What they do later is compleltly their decision but many are still growing and figuring out their place so maybe stop judging them while some of you are supporting people who are 27 and dating 19-year Olds. There's a German saying "Wer im Glashaus sitzt, soll nicht mit Steinen werfen" which means that someone in a house of glass shouldn't throw stones, translating to maybe don't judge if your position to judge is built on something just as bad.
Secondly this entire Lewis/Max fanbase feud has gotten so out of control that I feel like some of you are genuinely a hivemind that can't use critical thinking. We don't have to use every fucking word those two say and make it about how it could get ride of them or how they clearly are still hung up on etc.
I don't care who you support on this but maybe just stop fucking judging everything they say based on how you like/dislike them. Just like in the real world someone we might not like will also happen to make good points in an argument and there is literally nothing wrong with admitting that. I know we like to tag the position on this but like it's really not hard to ignore one side if you want to.
I am not asking you all to understand the other side in this because I agree that some of us just can't and won't see eye to eye and that's fine. But I wish some of you would step being so obsessed about a weird rivalry that really wasn't even that when there are so much more important and bigger problems we as a fan base should be talking about.
Another thing that I will never understand is this bitterness towards a driver who get another drivers seat. Yes, it will hurt especially if it's your favourite driver but also, the driver is not responsible for any decisions a team makes when it comes to who drives for them. That decision is either made in mutual agreement or the driver will be kicked out. And this is F1. Contracts really do not mean shit here and aren't a guarantee especially if there's any reason (performance, marketing etc.) that another driver looks more promising. I can guarantee that no driver is a villain in that sense and you should absolutely first and foremost blame the team.
Also I will never understand this weird only hating RedBull thing when it comes to teams. Like listen yes RedBull is an absolute shit hole and has treated their drivers badly but at least they give their drivers a chance to fail. The academies and driver programs for other teams are even worse with people just stuck in a category hoping, waiting to move up and missing out all opportunities to go to any other sport, let alone a different team. The entire way drivers are handled is done badly by so many teams. If you only accuse RedBull you are so off. Just look at Kevin and Stoffel at McLaren, Pascal who was tossed aside although he is clearly now proving his worth in FE, Nyck never being able to go anywhere because he couldn't afford it, etc. The problem is way bigger than just RedBull and to only look at them completely missed any point.
Additionally this is a special shout out to the Seb fandom Listen, I know it might sting that the car is now performing. But Seb willingly made the decision to leave in order to spend time with his family. He looks so much happier and relieved now then I feel like he was for years. Let him enjoy this. If you can't enjoy F1 since he is gone that's fine or even if you need a break. What isn't okay is wishing a driver to be ill so that Seb could come back when it wouldn't even be him as a first choice. Maybe some of you should take a page out of Mike Kracks book because he said it so beautiful in that interview. Sure you consider what ways there are to bring him back but ultimately you should respect his wished and decisions to be there for his family while exploring other passions and continuing to advocate for environmental causes.
Lastly, I wish some of you would realise that in F1 there isn't anything such as a goat unless you are purely using statistics which doesn't work. People have opinions on drivers and that's all fair to prefer one over someone else. What isn't fair is to dismiss a drivers career or results without actually fact checking or providing evidence for it. There's many reason why a driver might be more of a team-mate in a season like 2020 that some drivers missing out on races due to Covid which just means they had less race to prove their worth and get results. You can't compare drivers from different eras because F1 was complelty different in both instances and we couldn't possibly prove which one was the better driver. What I want to say by this is : You can prefer a driver but that doesn't mean he had to be one of the bests. There's no shame in supporting a driver whose results might be lacking. What is not okay is to shit on drivers or other fans while most of you ignore actual facts that determine said drivers points/position in the statistics. Before you engage in why one driver is better than another maybe consider actually looking up said drivers career and when I say this I mean beyond just plain race results or points and actually seeing their starts, development, qualifying etc.
F1 is currently very hard to enjoy but sometimes this fandom makes it so much harder.
So a tip for those of you who struggle with it currently and start to see that it's affecting them negatively: Take a step back and maybe reflect on how you want to enjoy this experience.
I can guarantee there a beautiful and fun communities out there who will welcome anyone that is kind and respectful. I can guarantee that once you actively start to make your own experience and maybe also form your own opinions there will be a revelation that this sport isn't that important and serious.
Breach out. Look for other racing because there is so much more interesting categories out there who actually will give a happy experience.
Racing doesn't end with F1, it merely starts there.
But also, that does not mean we should let some of the treatment that has formed in this fandom especially on here be tolerated.
Like I said the line from drivers being actual people and athletes that you admire to this weird cult like characterization has become way too accepted. Maybe consider not being a part of that or reflecting and questioning why you might be.

So i spent a lot of my life thinking i was pretty normal. I mean, i knew i was sort of different from other people, but i thought everyone felt different on the inside. This was validated by the fact that my father really understood me.
I thought: obviously the people ypu are related to are more similar to you than people who are not. Also in ways other than physical. I did not realize how i acted was not "normal" until i finally realized my father wasn't either.
He is a physics professor (surely that means he is a perfectly normal, functioning, member of society).
My father is also divorced. Twice. Within a few years of marriage. He has had the same pants for 30 years. You cannot even tell their original color.
He spends most of his time on his work, on his laptop he carries everywhere. Physics is his passion above all else. Above realtionships. Except maybe the one he has with me, apparently. His second ex-wife told me: you're probably the only person he has ever managed to love.
Sometimes he forgets how to live, but in the years he has become very good at keeping himself in check. He eats well, sleeps enough, and goes for walks. But when he has to take care of himself he does it hastily. He realized he needs a routine to function, and determinately stuck to it. I can tell he hates it sometimes.
I can tell from the way he puts the dishes away, not caring if they clatter. How he cleans immediatly whenever he spills something. How he slams the door of the spice cabinet, how he eats incredibly quickly as if it were a task. From how he jumps off the couch in the afternoon, and how the ruins all his shoes by never untying the laces. He does these things like ripping off a band aid.
I see he only wears nice clothes when he goes to work, because he has learned that appearences matter. How he conciously, methodically, painstakingly crafted a version of himself that would be acceptable to society. I see that he puts on a polite and painfully empty smile when talking to colleagues. And I know he things most of his students are stupid.
Since I was little he always took my questions seriously. He also tried to teach me about maths and physics. When I could not stand doing divisions in elementary school, he tried to teach me about the binary system and how to do divisions with that. The next year he taught me trigonometry. I can't say i ever became good at algebra, mostly because I am too distracted and make a lot of simple mistakes.
He did, however, make me realize my interest in geometry. I have a very good sence of space and shapes and can manipulate them easily. I used this talent a little for school, and a lot for art. He also supported my love for reading. Or rather, he started it by putting a copy of LotR in my hands at age 9.
He understands me when I tell him that the noise of the water hitting the sink hurts my ears sometimes. He said it happens when you focus too hard on something. He picks up on the same sounds and smells as i do, when other people don't seem bothered at all. He gets what I mean by feeling "floaty", and what it means to seem to be outside your own body.
I don't share his passion for physics, but he always tells me about new and interesting things and shows me his simulations of ice crystals with graphite and tells me about how we know the universe is expanding. And honestly, for him, telling me about these things is the most emotionally significant form of expression he could give to me. And i feel it.
Most other people dissmiss it, and i understand that. Now. We're both kinda off, in different but still quite similar ways. But all in all, i feel more and more often more and more human, now that i can see i am different, in the way i remember things, in the way i process them. Trying to define a quality that all humans must have to be considered humans is inherently dehumanizing.
So let's see what i can do with my life. I hope to be able to connect with people better than my father does. I hope I won't judge them as harshly as he does. I know that there are people that will understand me, and i know that there are people who do not, but nonetheless accept me. I want to find a place in society, even if it's not anywhere near the top.
And since I've made it this far, even if I feel it's way harder than it should be to ignore the thoughts, to fall asleep, to get up, to do all the things I neeed to do, I know that I can do it. And that I am allowed to do things differently. In a way that suits me. My dad got lucky, or maybe unlucky. He found his eternal passion he would do anything to pursue. Meanwhile I live comfortably in the knowledge that all I need is to live in a place near the sea.

hiii. can i request a rough nsfw with sukuna where he's so frustrated with jujutsu sorcerers that he decided to unleash those said frustrations on the reader? like he just won't stop until he release all the stress inside him— kshjsch i feel like sukuna would do that 😳 he'll be rough all night long
warning: degradation, choking, breath play, very mild pain kink, hate fucking
ryoumen sukuna x fem!reader
Tumblr media
i feel the same way so thank you, i’m going to be thinking about this for a long time
Tumblr media
“you know, i really thought you’d put up more of a fight.”
the grip he had on your neck was bruising, but certainly a lot looser than you thought the king of curses would be. your hands clawed at him nonetheless, although the whole current concept of being shoved against the wall of your bedroom wasn’t exactly something you were complaining about.
the three impatient raps at your door earlier had you rolling out of bed, wanting to sleep after your latest mission. you’d thought it was yuuji, hungry for your warmth, but when you unlocked the door, rubbing your eyes and stifling a yawn, you’d been unceremoniously shoved backwards, the wind knocked out of you when your back met the wall. the glint of tattoos on a familiar face in the moonlight coming from your window told you all you needed to know.
sukuna watched you curiously and then his sickening grin was back, fingers squeezing a little harder. you gasped, stretching your neck away. “what? not going to answer?” he sneered, “maybe you all really are the same. scared little fucking sorcerers.” he leaned closer, breath fanning across your face. “isn’t that fucking stupid? you’re all a bunch of scaredy cats, aren’t you?” he pouted mockingly when he spat out the name. his lips were so close, if you just tilted forward—
no. whatever morbid fascination you harbored towards him didn’t change the fact he was... well... him. you stood your ground, leaning forward to bump your nose against his, your own scowl evident. “you can’t do anything, sukuna. once we find all the—”
“all my fingers you mean? the ones you can’t destroy on your own so you have to come up with some little plan to get rid of me?” he laughed bitterly in your face and you bit your lip, trying to calm your fury before you did something you’d regret. “it’s all the same. you’re scared of me. you don’t have the upperhand. never will,” he whispered at the end.
“i’m not scared of you.” your thoughts tumbled out of your mouth plainly without a second of hesitation, but the tilt of his head in question, his forehead brushing against yours, made you think that perhaps telling the truth around him was a very bad idea.
it was dark, hard to see his face, but god he was so close. “yeah? what are you then?”
good question. wait, no, bad question. bad, very bad, because you already knew the answer to it. or... did you? vocal chords at a stand still, there was no way to verbalize what you felt.
“hurry up, brat.” sukuna tightened his grip on your neck before loosening it just the smallest bit so you could speak. “i don’t have all day. how do you feel then? you with your little human emotions.”
words... what are the words. it turns out staring down a literal demon king in the eyes wasn’t the optimal place to think. “i... i don’t know.” your voice was small, unsure, lying.
the staring contest, backed by deafening silence, continued for a mere beat longer as you regarded each other with quiet contemplation. you could just barely make out his eyes and the curve of his lips, parted slightly. his breath was warm.
you couldn’t take it anymore and it seemed like he couldn’t either—you both automatically tilted your heads, lips pressing against each other easily, eyes falling shut. mouths sliding against the other, he gently pushed your head back to hit the wall, tongues running over one another. it was slow, hot, and you decided you should probably thank yuuji for keeping his lips so soft.
sukuna sucked your bottom lip between his own and your hands fell away from his grip on your neck to pull him closer by the front of his shirt (he hadn’t ripped it apart yet, an impressive feat). his leg slipped between your own, and you pushed down on it with your hips, the friction making you open your mouth further to him, something enticing about the fact he was a very good kisser.
but then it was like a switch flipped and his hold on your neck tightened once again. “what... what am i doing,” you thought he mumbled, voice hoarse (then again, your brain wasn’t exactly listening when you were busy making out with someone like him), kiss faltering for a brief moment. his lips curled into a frown, disdainful.
shoving you further into the wall as he pushed against you with his mouth, sukuna was all sharp teeth and rough lips now, swallowing up your whimpers, nothing soothing about it like his previous actions.
“i fucking hate you,” he spat, his hand abandoned your neck and moved up to squish your cheeks together, finding satisfaction in the way your lips puckering out, barely able to move. “do you hear me? i hate all of you.”
“the feeling’s mutual,” you mumbled around his grip, hazy from the kiss but knowing what you stood for, fury evident in your eyes and furrowed brows. he was the enemy. and you were... you. and... and...
you were met with a bitter laugh, your stomach curling into knots at the sound. you hadn’t noticed his free hand tugging at your waistband until it was too late, his hand slipping in and wasting no time running two fingers harshly against your soaking folds. “why are you dripping wet then? a slut and a liar?”
“fuck off,” you mumbled again, a lot quieter this time, face burning hot from embarrassment.
“i’ll fuck off when you stop acting like you want to fuck me.”
his words made you straightened up. “i- i’m not—”
“you’re not acting? mmm,” sukuna let go of your cheeks just enough that he could properly kiss you, tongue forcing it’s way past your lips, “of course you’re not. of course.” he was mocking you and you couldn’t say anything.
a finger pushed into your heat and you bit down on his lip in surprise, although the pain only seemed to spur him on further, a second finger easily shoving its way in next to the first. curling, pushing, rubbing against that sensitive, spongy spot inside of you, sukuna’s fingers had your legs shaking, the knee he still had pressed between them the only thing keeping you up at this rate. the grip on your face as he hummed against your mouth prevented you from avoiding eye contact with him, lips wet as he disregarded any type of mess he was making.
he was everywhere at once and you felt trapped. hot—it was too hot, your body was burning.
“su- ku... n... a,” his name came out garbled between the onslaught of your face being squished together and the sloppy kisses he pressed into you at irregular intervals. when his thumb rubbed against your clit as the two fingers continued to pump in and out, you gripped his shirt so hard you were sure you would rip it this time. “too... mmm,” a kiss that was more tongue than lip cut you off and you weren’t even sure if he heard you as you choked out the next words, “mmm, hah— much, suku—”
at once he released you, almost letting you drop to the floor, but you were able to just barely steady yourself against the wall in time. sukuna stepped back and away from your shaking form. you were gasping, lungs burning.
“w...why did you—”
“i can listen you know.” you could practically feel his eye roll from his dripping tone, even if you weren’t looking at him. “‘too much.’” he laughed as he mocked you. “more like you’re too weak.”
you were thankful he actually seemed to have a brain, but still— “you’re an idiot.” fuck, your lungs hurt, the retort scraping against the walls of them. he was good. it had been a while since anyone had left your head spinning like that.
sukuna flicked a hand dismissively. “‘an idiot’ who’s giving you a chance to breathe, you brat.” he decided to ignore the name for now, thankfully for you (although you didn’t exactly see it that way).
you couldn’t choke out another snarky response and simply focused on clearing your head. he gave you a chance to think and once you seemed clear-minded, he wasted no further time.
“bed.”
you blinked, eyes bleary, peering up at him from where you bent over, trying to catch your breath. “w...what?”
“on the bed. now.” he shoved his hands into his pockets, watching you blankly as you regained your senses. “unless you want me to fuck you on the floor?”
“no...” god, what was with you? or rather... what was with him? the ache in your core answered your question, your cunt feeling so empty now—he hadn’t even bothered to let you cum and you already wanted his fingers stuffed back into you. he was irresistible—you felt stupid even having the thought.
sukuna’s eyes narrowed, close to shoving you to the ground to finish what he started but exercising restraint for your sake. you’d need it. “i’m being nice and giving you a chance to get comfortable on your stupid bed, you idiot. go. now.” he was getting tired of repeating himself.
the last few snarky words and your own desire for him actually had you moving this time, climbing up onto the bed a few steps away and settling uncertainly onto the covers. you went to look up for further instructions but he was already on you, both of you tumbling back onto the mattress as he practically shoved his tongue down your throat, hands pushing up and under your shirt to squeeze your tits.
“take this off.”
you automatically pulled at the hem of the flimsy t-shirt at his command, sukuna giving you just enough room to get it over your head, and then his teeth were on your exposed breasts, marking them up. your fingers threaded through his hair, his head moving under your touch as you watched his mouth work with half-lidded eyes.
you didn’t think you’d be able to change in front of anyone any time soon, already knowing the blossoming colors of bruises would be apparent the next morning. reminder to self: cancel your upcoming shopping trip with nobara; the dressing rooms with her would surely be a disaster if he kept this up.
“who’s are these?” his grip was rough when he cupped your breasts, squeezing.
you immediately knew the answer he was looking for, all too eager to hand it over. “yours. fuck, they’re all yours.” your hands ran through his hair, urging him to continue his onslaught on the previously unmarked skin.
sukuna laughed, thumbing your nipples, giving one of them a light lick that made you squirm. “you’re more obedient than i thought you’d be.” he pinched the buds, rolling them between his fingers as you squeezed your eyes closed, gasping at the pain. “but that’s enough of that.” your eyes snapped open, about to ask him what the fuck he meant by that, but he was already setting to work.
his fingers hooked around your sleeping bottoms and pulled them down with your underwear, the night air cold against your damp lips. you rubbed your thighs together but his hands on your knees forced them apart as he peered down at you. you felt so exposed under his hungry gaze, entirely bare for him to see while he was still dressed. unfair.
“wanna see. don’t close them,” was his short, clipped explanation as he kept your legs spread. one hand on your knee, sukuna brought the fingers of his other to run along your folds again just as he had done before, except this time he could actaully see how you quivered under him, cunt glistening and dripping. he slipped two fingers to run between the folds and then popped them in his mouth, sucking the slick from his fingers and maintaining eye contact with you the entire time. you couldn’t look away.
he hummed, content as he licked the last bit off of the tips. “you don’t taste bad for a slut.”
all the focus was on you, him criticizing everything little thing you did, and you were a mess because of it. not even a chance to run your hands over his chest? unacceptable. you pointedly ignored his comment, pining after some form of a reward instead. “at least take your shirt off. thought you hated those things.” the clothing ratio here was starting to grate on your nerves.
sukuna rolled his eyes but crossed his arms over his chest to grab ahold of the sides of his fitted t-shirt and tug it over his head. you watched, mouth watering at the sight—the moon provided excellent illumination for the scene, his body revealed inch by painstaking inch as he disposed of the fabric. god, he was so hot. you hated it.
muscles on display, sukuna raised an eyebrow at you as though he were asking, happy now? your silent reply came when you reached up to run your hands over the dips of his abs, his chest solid and tattoos curling over the surface.
“that’s better.” you made a show of your gaze tracing over the surface before looking up at him, smiling to yourself. “surprised you didn’t just rip it off.”
sukuna simply scoffed and swatted your hand away, moving from between your legs so he could work off his pants and kick them off to the side.
“knew you’d like to see me take it off properly,” he answered at last, back to you as he wiggled out of his boxers finally and chucked them off the foot of the bed. you didn’t get much time to admire his flexing back muscles before he was on you again, settling between your legs like he knew he belonged there (you weren’t sure you could argue with that point).
he pumped his cock, grabbing one of your legs and pushing it back. precum leaked from his tip, length already fully hard, and sukuna was enjoying your gaze on him maybe a little too much. leg shoved back and in the air, you whimpered when he rubbed the head along you. you didn’t need prep after being fucked by his fingers earlier you supposed and you weren’t sure you’d even be patient enough to sit through him stretching you out any further with anything but his dick.
you wanted to feel it yourself and so you reached a hand out to wrap around the base, captivated by how he watched you as you thumbed the slit, breathing heavy but not saying anything, letting you do what you wanted.
you wanted it in you so badly.
when he opened his mouth in question, eyes flitting up to yours, you were quick to cut him off, already knowing what he was going to ask. “yes, i’m sure.” you didn’t know curses could actually be compassionate, and it was cute when his jaw locked hard at your confirmation and he nodded, shifting his gaze back to your hand.
you released his cock and sukuna set back to lining it up with you, grip on your leg locking the limb in place. you shivered under his hold and he grunted when the head nudged your entrance, slowly pushing in.
“fuck. take it. take it all in. fucking slut.” he sunk fully in in one motion, the pace enough not to have you screaming out at the stretch but making your breath catch in your throat all the same. “yes, just like that. a good bitch, that’s what you are, aren’t you? look at you.”
you didn’t even know what to think at this point, a shaky resemblance to his name tumbling from you, more so a moan than actual talking. you could feel him everywhere—so full, so overwhelmingly full.
shoving your leg back further until it was almost painful, cock bottomed out in you, sukuna snapped his fingers in front of your face. “i asked you a question, brat. or are you already too fucked out of your mind to answer?”
you couldn’t breathe, head heavy, and tried to nod in confirmation as you struggled to puzzle through his words, but then you shook your head to answer no—god, you were confused. what was the right answer? what was happening?
maybe you really were already too fucked out of your mind. you vaguely recalled his words from earlier and were able to form a somewhat coherent response. “a good bitch... yes, i a- wait.” what were you saying? first you let him fuck you and now you’re openly submitting to him? the curse that had nearly cost you and your friends your lives countless times?
pride wouldn’t let you go along with his little game even as your dripping pussy told a different story. “i’m not anything to you.”
sukuna scoffed, hips grinding into you as he leaned over you, hooking both of your legs over his shoulders and pressing them back, close to your head. “and here i thought we were actually starting to get along.” a mirthless laugh left him, both of you eye-to-eye now where you lay.
fire burning in your eyes, you were very much reminded why you hated him so much. a self-obsessed asshole was what he was. “i’m not exactly looking to be friends with the king of curses, you idiot.”
“but look at you now. you wanted this.” he licked a stripe up the side of your neck, pausing at the base of your jaw to grin and press a sweet kiss to the area. you shivered and your hands found his shoulders to grip onto. he wasn’t wrong about the wanting it part—the amount of times you’d fantasized about exactly this was concerning. “i wonder what would happen if your little friends knew about how you really felt. what’s that term you like to use? ‘fraternizing with the enemy?’”
sukuna laughed again when your expression fell, face hot at the reminder of the others. “i suppose this is considered a bit more than mere fraternizing though, hm?” he continued, smiling and kissing your cheek.
whatever. no one would find out anyway. expect... expect maybe... yuuji—what had happened to him anyway for this to happen? knowing him, he’d probably been too tired after the last mission and sukuna had easily switched in—the same mission that seemed to have set sukuna even further along in his fury against jujutsu sorcerers this night.
you weren’t dating yuuji per say (it was... complicated), so your qualms when it came to fucking the curse possessing him were... minimal to say the least. you wouldn’t have done it if you were already taken, couldn’t have done that to yuuji, sweet as he was. but even in spite of all that, sukuna was right... this whole thing was so... no, don’t think about it.
you didn’t care either way (...maybe)—you couldn’t let his words get to you.
“just move already.”
you heard him grumble, annoyed, and he propped himself up to hover above your face. “i was giving you time to adjust. you’re so ungrateful.”
and with that, sukuna snapped his hips into yours without another moment of hesitation and you dug your nails into his back, mouth open in a silent scream because fuck.
“ungrateful fucking brat.”
“more,” your voice was hoarse, focus narrowing in only on the way he was fucking you.
you weren’t sure if it was your words or his own desire that spurred him on, but he set a bruising pace from the start, the places where your hips met hurting every time he rammed back into you. he was marking up your neck, the area already feeling sensitive and oh-so overabused, yet you not wanting to tell him to stop.
sukuna’s hand wrapped around your neck again, the feeling familiar now and you clenched around him at the sensation, him growling when you did so. the slight squeeze of his fingers had you seeing stars, the light-headed feeling going straight to your building arousal.
just like before, his hand traveled up to squeeze your cheeks and he was hovering over your mouth again, lips brushing against your own from the momentum of his thrusts. “let me kiss you again.” sukuna’s eyes were dark, unreadable.
you were quick to act at that, not letting him lean down, but rather craning your neck up to latch onto him, moaning as your mouth fell open for him to push his tongue in. his hand released your face to travel down to tweak at your nipples and grip your breasts again, other hand holding your leg steady against him. “filthy fucking slut.” he forced the words into your mouth, speaking around your lips that kept chasing after him. “fuck, you’re so fucking tight.”
sukuna’s attention returned to your neck, leaving you to gasp into the air and missing his warmth against your face. when his thumb found your clit, your breath hitched and you knew you so close to coming undone. the rubbing of his cock against just the right spots inside of you, filling you so wholly was not helping.
“su...kuna, please, i’m gonna—” you were babbling, chest heavy when his teeth sank into your shoulder, stinging. his wet kiss on the area was cooling, the contrast making your head tilt further back, wanting to give him easy access to whatever he wanted.
“i’ve got you.” he was whispering against the wet skin, voice low with his pants, and you shivered, digging your nails into his back even more. “come on, brat, you want to cum for me, don’t you?” yes, you did. the stretch, his hands everywhere at once, his scraping lips—yes, you wanted to let everything go.
“fuck, fuck, fuck.” you let yourself come undone, heat filling your chest. everything was him—that’s all you knew in this state.
“look at you, creaming all over my cock. god, you’re so pretty. pretty little slut.” the words just kept flowing as he fucked you through your orgasm, chasing his own release.
when he finally came, your hole was aching, abused, the sound of skin against skin the only thing you could focus on, mind cloudy. his cum was hot and filling when it spilled into you, your stomach doing summersualts at the feeling. his pace gradually began to slow, the sopping sound of him fucking his cum into you as he rode out his own high the only sound besides your ragged breaths. when he eventually stopped, he was leaning over you, sweaty foreheads pressed together, and he pushed one final bruising kiss to your lips that you gladly returned.
you were panting, chest rising and falling unevenly. “fuck, oh my god.” you reached up pull him back into another kiss, needing something to hold onto. it was an easy kiss, no thought going into its form, just knowing that lips were meant to be on each other and slotted together. his lips were so soft, and his fingers along your side were so soft, and his chest against yours was so soft and you were absolutely lost to everything.
sukuna finally pulled back to let you breath, knowing you were probably stupid enough to just keep pulling him in more and more and ignoring your lung capacity until the very last second unless he stopped you.
chests heaving, you stared at each other and he brought a thumb up to rub at your swollen lips. you flicked your tongue out to lick at the digit playfully and smiled. a laugh bubbled out of you and he returned the grin, his own deep chuckle vibrating through you where you were still pressed against each other.
it was laughing that you moved to push him to roll off of you. “oh my god, i can’t believe we just-” the hand that gripped your wrist, your own hands still planted on his chest, stopped you immediately. his smile had morphed back into one that was anything but sweet.
you were suddenly aware of the ache in your legs where they were still pressed over his shoulders and the dull throbbing of your pussy as it begged for a break, him still not having pulled out—the look on his face told you that you wouldn’t be getting a break from those sensations any time soon.
“who said we’re done?” his teeth glinted in the moonlight and god the line was so cliche and he must’ve known you’d hate it so much. what you hated even more was the throb in your core at his words despite all that. “wanted to cum in you at least once, but your tits-” he paused to squeeze one of them for emphasis, “are looking a little too clean.” body covered in sweat and marks all over your chest from his handiwork made you think clean wasn’t exactly the correct description, although you understood his sentiment.
surprise ridden expression falling away, you rose to meet his challenge, your own grin reflecting back. how would it feel when he came on your stomach, on your face, on your ass—anywhere and everywhere? would it be the same feeling as before when he’d spilled inside of you? (would you get to taste it?)
the thought was horrible, you knew, but the trickle of white out of your hole around his cock and dripping onto the sheets made you think maybe it was okay to be horrible for once.
“do your worst, king.”

5 Feet
Word Count: 889
Warnings: Fear, G/T story, mentions of death and vore
Summary: Its been a few months since the giant invaders came and took over earth and the humans that are left are now struggling to survive. What will happen to them when their leader is taken by a giant working for one of the leaders of the invasion?
This is more or less me just trying to see if this is something I should write. I've been thinking of writing this as a book and I wanted to give it a spin here to see what you guys think. Let me know if you want to see what happens next!
————————
Taking over a planet can't possibly lead to anything good. At first they were peaceful, trying to get us to let our guard down. That phase didn't last long though. Soon enough the giant invaders showed their true colors, gulping down the humans that began to trust them and toying with the ones they left alive. It seemed darker times were ahead and those of us that managed to escape the initial purge hide far underground in large caves. At least, those of us we know about.
In all actuality there's no way of knowing if we're the last ones left or not. The world up there is too dangerous to look for others and if they could find us they would probably die trying to get to our base. In a world like this…...things just seemed hopeless.
Every so often a few of the trained members of our community head to the surface to find things we need. Feeding this many people means food disappears rather quickly. This is one of those days. As Alex and I step out into the bright light of the dangerous world above us, we hear the familiar footballs of a nearby giant. Acting quickly we and the rest of our group move underneath a nearby outcropping of rock where the giant won't be able to see us. As its enormous shadow comes into view a sense of dread washes over me. My stomach drops and I can't help but shiver out of fear. These monsters. I dread the day their sights land on me.
We all sit quietly, not even so much as breathing as the threat makes its way past us. From here I can see it scanning the landscape, its red eyes (common for their species), scan the horizon for any signs of movement. It's ruffled blonde hair and strong build stand out to me. If it wasn't a murderer I would actually call it quite handsome.
Eventually satisfied with its search the giant moves on, leaving huge scars on the land as it walks. We feel the ground beneath us shake less and less as it gets farther away. Now is the time to go. With a small movement of his hand Alex signals us to follow him. We creep around the mountainous edge of the terrain we call home. We've gotten better and better at getting down these rock faces over the many months we've been here. Once we hit the smoother lands below our little mountain Alex and I scan the land before us. Nearby is a city, or what remains of it anyway. Cities mean access to necessities but they also mean giants. The giants have figured out that we go to places like this to stock up so we can stay alive. Over the past few months that's made getting the things we need even harder. It seems if they can't find us, their plan is to simply starve us out or wait until we just die.
Carefully ducking in and out of the cover of nearby alcoves and forests, we make our way to the town in front of us. As its crumbling buildings come into view I can't help the shiver that goes down my spine. The buildings all stand like ghosts of a former time. Their shells haunt and remind us of a time when we didn't have to fear death at every turn. A time when we were taken care of and had all of our needs met. You don't know how much you take something for granted until it's jerked away from you all at once.
Soon enough we spot an old convenience store now marked only by the falling neon sign at the front. As we move towards it I notice the amount of items still on the white shelves inside. We must not have hit this place yet, maybe the giants will overlook it? As we enter the store, remnants of the last moments of it being active can be seen everywhere. Money left on the counter, the cash register still open to receive it. Even shopping carts were still full of different items people were looking to buy. Now it sits here like a museum display of what once was.
I run over to one of the nearby shopping carts, beginning to sift through some of the contents. Things of very rotten meat can be seen towards the bottom, causing me to gag at the smell. Thankfully they haven't been spilled and haven't gotten on the things on top. I begin grabbing different canned foods and water bottles, stuffing them into my book bag as I go. A score of medicine and a few healing teas makes me think this is going to be a good day. Soon into our trip however, I'm proven wrong.
"The giants coming back!"
I hear someone say, my heart begins to race as I feel the ground begin to quake beneath me. Shit. Stopping what I'm doing I run up to Alex, standing near the window of the store and looking out into the distance. I look where his horrified eyes lead mine and my heart practically stops. Standing in a set of buildings a few yards from us is the blonde haired giant from earlier, looking directly at us.

(multiple linked image references throughout this post)
Ok, so I loved this post
The part that got me though was when you said “I wonder what type of animal form they take factors into that” - that’s where the gears in my head started turnin’
So I went snooping on each animal counterpart associated with each sin.
1.) SLOTH: are cats sensitive to cold?
So Kuro isn’t JUST a neet that prefers blankets or a kotatsu over the cold… his animal form being a cat does play some part… key word beings some
“Cats are pretty well adapted for cold weather, but when the temperature dips below freezing they are susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite. During periods of cold weather, cats will go looking for a warm place to hunker down. How cold is too cold for indoor cats? Cats prefer warmth but will be okay in rooms hovering between 50-60°F degrees; while their counterparts Lions, in a zoo environment, stay outside in the winter unless the temperature dips below 40°F (in the wild, most lions don’t have to worry about temperatures dropping below 65°F so in most cases 40°F and below is too cold).”
SLOTH SENSATIVE TO COLD? ✅ (yes)
2.) PRIDE: are bats sensitive to cold?
“Bats can't survive freezing temperatures, even when they're hibernating. Any roost bats shelter in for the winter must be at least 45°F or warmer. They also seek out dark, secluded, and sheltered places that can keep them safe from predators. Bats are defenseless while they're hibernating.”
PRIDE SENSATIVE TO COLD? ✅ (yes)
3.) ENVY: are snakes sensitive to cold?
Jeje being a snake is pretty much a given… but it’d be mean to not include him (so no funny ideas outta you, ok Mikuni?)
“What is the coldest temperature a snake can withstand? Snakes usually stay out of cold climates. Because the coldest temperature any snake can thrive in is around 65°F, snakes normally live in the warmer temperate or tropical zones. Below 60°F, snakes become sluggish. Above 95°F, snakes become overheated.”
ENVY SENSATIVE TO COLD? ✅ (yes)
4.) WRATH: are wolves sensitive to cold?
“Wolves don't need to do anything. They're much better adapted to cold weather than we are. Thanks to their winter adaptations, wolves can live in temperatures as low as -40°F. During the coldest nights, a wolf will curl itself into a ball, covering its nose with its tail, which will hold the exhaled warm air over its feet and nose, conserving precious body heat. It will also sleep close to its pack-mates(her Eve) in a unified effort to stay warm.”
WRATH SENSATIVE TO COLD? ♾ (neutral-ish)
5.) GREED: are hedgehogs sensitive to cold?
“Hedgehogs getting cold is a BIG ‘No no’. It slows their metabolism down, leaving them susceptible to infections, dehydration and starvation. It's important to keep your hedgehog in an environment between 72-80°F. Even if it’s not always comfortable for us humans (comfortable for angels? no clue), temperatures lower than 70°F are considered ‘cold’ for hedgehogs and can result in a hibernation attempt, which can be fatal.”
Maybe that’s why Lawless always wears that scarf? Since hedgehogs are severely thermally sensitive then it would make sense…
(Crantz, Gil… please stop the angel from getting any ideas)
GREED SENSITIVE TO COLD? ✅ (yes)
6.) GLUTTONY: are pigs sensitive to cold?
In this case I will refer mostly to Vietnamese Potbellied Pigs because as far as I know, we haven’t actually seen Ildio’s pig form yet - one of the only depictions is Lawless’ stage depictions of the 7 vampire siblings in ep6… and based on his stage depiction of Ildio’s pig form, Viatnamese Vietnamese Miniature Potbellied Pigs seem like they’d be the common type of pig that seems to fit that shape/size.
“The ideal temperature range for a potbelly pig is 65-88°F. Pigs in winter do not need any type of supplemental heat down to at least -20°F. Most potbelly pigs require more feed to maintain heat production and body condition; meaning that housing aside, the more feed/calorie intake, the easier it can be for pigs to regulate their body heat.”
However, seeing as Ildio is an ageless vampire with the mother-effing holy grail of metabolisms, we don’t know if his MASSIVE calorie intake, that he doesn’t really gain much/any weight from, will actually help him in cold weather.
GLUTTONY SENSATIVE TO COLD? ♾❔(neutral/unknown where they stand exactly)
7.) LUST: are butterflies sensitive to cold?
Snow Lily’s butterfly appearance is probably one of the most exaggerated of the 8 servamp animal forms. That gorgeous shade of pink and black aside, I couldn’t find any real buttwrfly species with that wing pattern or wings shaped like that. So color and wing pattern aside, I’d say the closest real-world butterfly to Snow Lily would be a variation of Swallowtail Butterfly.
Butterflies are cold-blooded critters, however, generally speaking butterflies won't fly when temperatures are less than 55-60°F.
LUST SENSATIVE TO COLD? ✅ (yes)
8.) MELANCHOLY: are foxes sensitive to cold?
Even though Tsubaki’s two tails seem to be a play of of the legends of Nine Tail Fox, generally speaking based off his other details being black fox with white on the end of his tail(s), he is most likely a Silver Fox; which is a type of Red Fox.
The upper critical temperature of the red fox is probably between 86-89°F. An official temperature range of what is too cold for red foxes is more or less unknown or unofficial at best. The arctic fox is said to be able to tolerate temperatures as low as -72°F but red foxes haven’t occupied the tundra in the past partly because it was too cold; with their longer ears and limbs, they lose heat faster than their arctic cousins. So we know the average red fox can tolerate and survive cold temperatures, but most likely not temperatures like their arctic counterparts live in.
MELANCHOLY SENSATIVE TO COLD? ♾❔❌ (neutral/unknown where they stand exactly/least affected of the bunch)
and after ALL OF THAT…
the most interesting thing is–
when I first got into SERVAMP, I remember being curious where the concept of ‘the different sins transforming into animal forms’ came from. After a little research, I found that there is a history to it! A very detailed account of the origins and representations of them within history. And a small portion discusses the animal depictions of the original 7 deadly sins⬇️
“An allegorical image depicting the human heart subject to the seven deadly sins, each represented by an animal (clockwise: Toad = Avarice [greed]; Snake = Envy; Lion = Wrath; Snail = Sloth; Pig = Gluttony; Goat = Lust why? I have no idea; Peacock = Pride).”
So Jeje and Ildio’s animal forms are the only ones true to the original depictions of their associated sins.
Pride as a peacock does make sense… but I can understand adding the bat into the mix because - vampires.
I get why they’d change Kuro to a cat instead of a snail because I can’t see a snail being threatening at all unless it’s either severely poisonous or Gary… like, supernatural vampire powers or not, Kuro as a snail wouldn’t be very badass.
Why the ever living f*ck would a goat reprint lust? Originally I was going with the possibility that goat could be related to ram, ram represents Aries, Aries is one of the most lustful zodiac personalities… but no, apparently the goat represents the Devil, lust, lubricity and the damned… so that’s fun - I prefer the butterfly thank you very much.
Apparently frogs symbolize greed because it is a greedy creature in desiring to live in both worlds- on the land & in the water… okay I guess?
& lastly even though the Lion role is also occupied by Kuro within the series, I can understand Wrath not maintaining the original Lion role swing as Wrath is female and they probably wanted a male to hold the depiction of Lion so that the could use the lion’s mane, again, to add to the badass factor… regardless I don’t think Wrath as a lioness would have played out the same way… is it sexist when referring to animals? Whatever - that’s a question for another day.
If you’re interested, the full article can be found here
I am so sorry this random rant turned out WAAAAAAAY longer than I originally intended… I always love your analysis and theory posts so I hope you enjoy :)
YOOO ANON, THAT’S AWESOME! I’ll definitely check that article out!
In return, have this!

We know what piggy ‘dio looks like now! :D
Hopefully this will make your research a little easier?

Thank you dear Anon for your request! Also because, I had already started writing a possible sequel on my own, your request arrives perfectly!
Note: I imagined these events after the one-shot you find here. In any case there are only subtle references.

Uta sees you there, curled up in the chair in front of the table like a wet little bird, despite the fact that you are now wearing his warm clothes, which fall softly on your frightened figure. He doesn't mind lending it to you, on the contrary, he tried to find something that wasn't too extravagant, coming out with a heavy black sweatshirt and wide gray pants. He thought that this clothing could help you put yourself at ease, but he also understands that being wrapped in his clothes for you doesn't have to be so reassuring. You probably accepted this only to avoid being immersed in the nauseating humidity of the body fluids that stick to your skin.
He can't tell if your following him was a sign of courage or fear. You didn't say anything, and the few words you whispered were kind; you also thanked him. It almost seems like you are straining to try to be calm, but it's the small, meaningless gestures that betray you. Earlier you insisted that he be the first to shower and change, although it would have been more logical for you to go first; yet perhaps for you that was a way to get the killer monster out of sight, or at least partially forget it.
Uta is unable to understand you right now, nor does he really pretend to, he is already grateful enough that you are intelligent enough to understand that it would be almost suicidal to return to your home in the condition you were in, especially after what it happened.
No, he doesn't pretend to understand you, but to understand himself a little more, yes. Uta is a labyrinth, with a thousand streets inside, which intersect and cancel each other out. A thousand paradoxical streets where after a turning point you can find someone completely different than the person you met. Yet all those roads are authentic and sincere, in their sweetness or in their violence.
He is aware of this, it is clear to him, but as the owner of his soul he should know how to pull the strings, understand what is happening inside. Yet he doesn't know now, or he can't really explain it.
He feels sadness, a deep sadness to see you so small and afraid. He would like to hope your snuggling up to him in that alley was dictated by mutual trust and not despair, but he doesn't even know if you're aware of that. He doesn't really want you to be scared of him, but at the same time he sees no way to stop it.
He also feels angry with you. Because deep down he knows that you are unconsciously judging him. The same fear you evidently feel makes him angry. He didn't eat you, right? So why do you have to be so scared in front of him? It was you who ran into his arms, wasn't it?
Yet he still can't tell you that, because you are doing absolutely nothing threatening towards him. You simply indulge him timidly, tremblingly accepting his care that will never be able to reassure you.
Maybe you've never really felt as confident in him as Uta hoped. Being in his house, first naked in his bathroom and now in his clothes maybe it wouldn't have been pleasant for you even if he had been human, let alone now with all the terror you've accumulated… after what you saw.
Uta is the author and accomplice of things that you would consider horrible, it is his nature, he is not able to change, he needs that to feel alive.
But you also make him feel alive. He likes that cordial, playful confidence that you take with him, the one that remains within limits, but which somehow transmitted the affection of a kind heart; like that time, when you playfully smeared his nose with red paint with the brush you were using. You apologized right away, but you laughed happily and enjoyed watching him, and Uta liked it, so much that he returned the favor with some yellow color.
You are spontaneous, and he likes it, even if now this spontaneity of yours is pulling you away from him, even though you try to pretend it isn't.
In the end, he really wants to take care of you. But how can he do it? He can't even really offer you anything other than a cup of bitter coffee.
He looks for a moment at his own reflection in the dark drink, so indistinct and blurry, before placing the cup on the shelf in front of you slowly.
You look at him suddenly, as if you have just woken up. Uta smiles kindly at you: he has always been kind to you. You smile at him too, but he could swear that you only do it to please him, for fear of a negative reaction from him.
He would really like to sit in front of you, so he can talk as you do every time you meet in the coffee shop, but he instead leans against the wall with his back, a wall quite far from your warmth and your presence. He too has a hot cup in his tattooed hands, but he doesn't really want coffee; maybe he just hoped that if he drank something familiar to you - something that didn't speak your language before he was devoured - you would trust again.
You take a sip, probably more out of politeness than out of desire, and your expression turns into a small involuntary pout as you perceive the bitterness of the coffee on your tongue.
Uta would find it funny if it weren't for the whole situation.
"I'm sorry…" his quiet voice of him draws your attention to himself. He doesn't really know what he's apologizing for. "I have no ... sugar ..."
The relaxed musicality of his voice is slightly cracked by uncertainty.
He has no sugar to console you, no regular sugar at least. It's already strange that he got the coffee. He never really welcomes real guests, only customers, now that he thinks about it; there are rare times when he really has to welcome someone outside of his "business", generally speaking.
You do not answer immediately, your gaze cannot help wandering over his figure, his body, his chest and his abdomen.
He smooths his baggy black sweater, as if to make you realize he's noticing your eyes, and then take a sip from his cup.
"Don't worry, it's okay ..." you assure "in the end ... I like to try new things ..."
Are you talking about sugar?
Your voice is a twitter that leaves him with vague hope. Are you trying to tell him something?
He's not really afraid of you going around talking, you told him you wouldn't and he knows you won't. You are not that different from Renji in this.
You turn the cup over in your fingers, looking at that dark liquid, and then turn to him again.
"Don't ... want to sit down?"
You ask him shyly, as if you feared rejection, but you asked him anyway.
You amaze him, of course. That is a little melancholy surprise, your calling him close, your giving him a little illusion of closeness.
But do you really want him there?
With a nod he slowly approaches, as if he is approaching a wounded animal - or prey - and he slowly sits in front of you.
The cups of coffee that nobody wants look at each other, placed in front, close together, like when you happen to meet at the end of the day in the cafe. It was a good time for Uta, he enjoyed pretending that there were no Ghouls and Humans, silenced his hunger so attracted to you and focused on the pleasure of your presence as if you were no different.
But now the charade is over, you two are not alike, and for some reason it hurts him.
Your gaze rests docile on his face, and he smiles lightly.
He is beautiful, you really think so. In a way, those red and black eyes are the only ones that fit him. Uta is not of an objective beauty, he must like him, and you really like him.
"You know..." your murmur puts him on alert "I ... I hear the news but ... it's hard to think that it could happen to you, when you hear about ghouls ..."
"It didn't happen to you."
His calm voice stops you immediately, and despite his flat tone makes you feel accused. He didn't hurt you, you can't say he's your turn. If anything, he is the turn of your tormentor.
"I ... no ... I meant that I had never thought of meeting one ..."
You justify shy, and he realizes he scared you. You're probably thinking that the first misstep you take will automatically become his next meal.
His lips press in a thin line, while he looks at you calmly.
"We are not that rare, you know ..."
He informs you, understanding that you would never speak if he remained silent.
There were ghouls even more integrated into human society than he. You were kind of his exception to him, his regular break from his violent life, even though he still had other human connections.
"Do you want to eat me?"
The question comes out suddenly, interrupting any flow of thought. It is less insecure than you thought, but deep down you both know that that's the core of it all.
He looks you straight in the eye, without giving in to the gaze and somehow gluing your pupils into his.
He could tell you that if he had wanted he would have done it already, he could say many things, yet he doesn't want to lie, he owes you and you owe it to him.
"It would be nice."
His voice is kind of calming despite the harshness of those words. As scary as they are, you don't react, and let him talk again.
"But it would also be extremely sad for me."
His tattooed fingers twirl around the slowly cooling cup, and you wonder if his heart has started beating a little faster, like yours, despite his mute expression.
"As tempting as eating you may be ... it would be very sad not to see you again."
A spark suddenly lights up in your eyes, it's so beautiful and bright that Uta opens his lips slightly in amazement, seeing that little light in you, so unexpectedly. He can't say if it is the hope of being able to live still that ignited it or that unspoken admission of affection, but that's okay with him.
"Would you be sad, Uta?"
You ask with a voice covered with expectations. He does not know how it happened, but it seems that your focus has shifted to something else, so suddenly.
Your cheeks just blush, and you smile as you look down at your hands. That smile isn't for him, it's for you. Uta wasn't hoping to see you smile again, yet there you were, wrapped in his baggy clothes smiling genuinely, as if you had suddenly forgotten the fear.
Your fingers intertwine in front of the cup, and your face doesn't dare lift up on him, but this time it's not fear that stops you.
“A Ghoul… sure, I had to know. In fact, in the end I knew it. Being a human would have been too trivial for you. "
Take another sip of coffee, and this time you commit yourself to putting up with the bitterness, even if you don't quite succeed.
Uta allows himself a slight amused smile.
"Oh yes?"
His is a rhetorical question that you just nod.
He drinks too, plunging both of you into a less heavy silence, but which still lingers in Uta's mind doubts that he would like to silence.
"Now where will you go?"
He is used to those he cares about disappearing far away. It wouldn't be new to see you walk away from him, he's not really hoping to be able to hold you back, despite what you said. Life simply changes people, and with them the world, he is aware of it, as he is aware of the fact that after this night the world between you two has changed, and as always you will be the one to change with it, while he will remain there, immobile.
"Do you want ... I have to go home?"
You ask confused, glancing towards the door. Night out scares you, you prefer the wolf's lair more than the dark and unpredictable shadows of the dark hours.
You didn't understand what he meant, how could you? Yet somehow Uta expected you to do it, he expected you to tell him this was goodbye. Yeah, is this goodbye?
"No, you don't have to go home if you don't want to ..."
It's hard to ask you to stay, to really stay. It is difficult to ask you to stay with him, because if you refused it would be a defeat, if you felt forced you would no longer be you.
“So you can't eat the food? Normal food I say ... so the idea of inviting you to lunch is out of the question. "
Your words break the melancholy in his mind again. He looks at you, his head slightly bent towards his right shoulder:
"Did you want to invite me to lunch?"
You wonder if it's really that surprising that you had such an idea. Should you be ashamed of it? Maybe this is inappropriate for him?
"I wanted. I mean, I've thought about it. It seemed nice to me. "
It seemed nice to you. You were cute, Uta often thought that. Here it is again, your gentle affection; it would have been a problem to refuse you if you really asked him to share lunch. He had never gotten used to pretending to eat human food, even though he tolerated smells quite well by now.
“Anyway, that's a kind thought of you. Thank you."
Without the glasses, his expression is even more gentle. It seems paradoxical, compared to the figure of him, but still, Uta is so unique.
"Not very kind if it kills you."
You mutter to yourself, looking away in embarrassment. In fact, now that you really know he's a ghoul a lot of your talk may no longer make sense.
"No ..." you hear him chuckle slightly, lightly and yet amused "we don't die so easily unfortunately for you ... I'd end up feeling extremely bad."
Suddenly the argument between you lightens up without either of you really noticing. He feels it, almost palpable, the boulder in his chest becoming light at the sound of curiosity that colors your voice as you confirm that you understand: it is the same curiosity as when you ask him questions about his masks, the colors he uses or his tattoos, he clearly recognizes it, which has now almost become part of both of you.
"I have so much to ask you, Uta" you admit, smiling at him fondly "but for now, thank you for everything you've done."
His nonexistent brows go up, looking at you as if he's asking if you were serious. But you did, sure, he knew.
"Thanks to you for bringing me dinner downstairs."
Uta doesn't mince words, he never did, and it was something you loved. He was always contemptuous and edgy in his calm and delicacy of him, it was a humor all of him, no one could ever look like Uta.
He makes you laugh, despite the macabre implied, and he's happy. He feels lighter, freer, and this seems to apply to you too.
One of his laboriously painted hands moves towards your face. He doesn't even notice, it's a gesture dictated by instinct, from his heart. Only when he's about to touch your cheek does he freeze, dumbfounded as to what to do, wondering in his head what the hell he was doing, why he did it.
He fears to see you retract at his touch, fears to see you hide and still does not understand why he fears so much the rejection of a human, a human who should be food and who instead twists his stomach with just a look.
He tries to retreat first, before it's late, but your hands stop him.
His fingers are now squeezed between yours, tenderly, as you tenderly bring them to your face. The hand that presses on his back is warmer than his skin, but the one that squeezes his palm has frozen fingertips, he feels them pinch against his skin. In yet another gesture of care for you, his fingers close on yours, to warm them.
And while you hold him he holds you, you hold both of you, and he knows you don't know him, that you haven't seen the dark side of him yet nor does he know if he will ever have the courage to show it to you, but for now that's okay .
Now he's no longer alone in his charade with you. You are no longer his audience, you are the actor who responds to his sentences in front of that cruel world. But luckily now, behind the scenes, his mask is no longer needed.
"I promise I'll take you for a better coffee tomorrow."
"I accept with great pleasure."
