#Well he wasn't called GlitchTRAP for nothing

[wonderfull-star]

Many people find Glammike theory strange, but for me personally it makes sense. You will say: "But in Fnaf 6 all the souls were freed, including Michael!" But why couldn't some people think that his soul was never able to "free itself" and he remained in the burnt and already abandoned pizzeria. Perhaps Michael later found out that part of William was still "alive" and that's why he wanted to somehow prevent all this. And as you understand, Michael decided to do this by possessing the very first person who "found him" - Glamrock Freddy.

Heh, I REALLY all this time thought Glitchtrap was William escaping from his "personal Hell"! (That would mean that William canonically wins in the UCN). And you know what? I STILL THINK SO

And so because of all these two guesses of mine, this theory doesn't seem so crazy at all.

Fazbear Entertainment and their role as a villain

When we talk about Fnaf villains we usually think of William, Eleanor or Mimic because of how important they are to the franchise. On the one hand, William was the one who started the tragedies with the objective of being immortal, experimenting and killing children in the process. While on the other Eleanor killed in cold blood, enjoying such a heinous act and causing the souls of her victims to be trapped in an agonizing loop, wanting them to be like this so he could feed on her suffering. Finally there is Mimic, who is ironically the most "human" of all since at the beginning he was not bad but Edwin's bad learning and mistreatment of him made him become a being that kills in horrible ways but at the same time remembers. from his past and wants to start a family.

But we rarely stop to reflect that this company is also a villain and that its actions are just as bad as the others. That's why I decided to make this post to rate all this and give theories about this company.

From the first moment the foundation was laid for us that it was a company that did not take care of its employees in the mythical call of Fnaf 1. In addition to establishing its second peculiarity: its love for money conquers everything. From underpaying his employees to reopening after children disappeared in his restaurant. Apart from wanting to cover up everything by saying that nothing happens when it really does.

In the next games we would see more examples of these traits but the strong part comes after Fnaf 6. Regardless of whether people like it or thought it was nonsense (this is said now that it is known that Henry's plan did not work), We cannot deny the great weight that this game has. Henry wanted to put an end to all the suffering that William had generated and, although he did not succeed, he did set the pieces for William to end up dead in the Fazbear Frights. Everything was already over, there would be no more deaths but those from Fazbear Entertainment arrived and they did not want to leave everything like this, causing the plan to fail.

Help Wanted is without a doubt one of the worst things they did and they literally laughed at all the misfortunes of the past. They tried to hire Steve to design the games, and when he refused, they forced him into an illusion, which is completely unethical. The next thing they did was "report" him for defamation so that people would believe that what he says in his games is false and thus be able to clean up his image and finally they created Help Wanted itself. This virtual reality game was the cause of the death of one of the workers and the mental control of another.

First, it should be said that Fazbear really wanted to release the game, so they put pressure on the first development team who had to work tirelessly to get it done in a very short time. To speed up the process, Fazbear would give them circuit boards to scan, one of which was from Mimic. The first team was totally unaware of how dangerous it was, but Fazbear was very knowledgeable about this and gave them absolutely the same. We know that they know this because it is not the first time they have done something like this with this program since they had previously used it to create a version of Mimic 1 called Mimic 2 that would save them a lot of work since by imitating the behavior of the other animatronics They wouldn't have to program them. This project was a failure but that didn't stop them from using it a second time.

This program was implemented bringing back a dangerous villain again, Mimic who now had the appearance of a rabbit and would be called Glitchtrap. Jeremy, who was the game's beta teaser at the time, would be the one who encountered it and began to suffer the consequences of being exposed to this virus. Leaving aside how bad he had it during all his test sessions, we have that Fazbear Entertainment was the cause of his death. Well, not exactly. It wasn't them who killed him but Glitchtrap but there is a possibility that Jeremy would have become another follower of Mimic if it hadn't been for Fazbear's threat of dismissal. Mimic was smart and instead of letting him go and alert his companions, he finished him off in a horrible way.

A curious fact is the fact that tape girl said that she was not going to fire him because of his poor performance or anything like that but because he saw something. This totally confirms that Fazbear was aware of Glitchtrap's existence (I highlight this because it is never mentioned that Fazbear knows that this is Mimic's appearance, or well, maybe they knew and it was even worse since he had created an independent entity to the that the programmers used to make the models and on top of that it now seemed to be able to move and act in a dangerous way, so much so that it was considered a virus)

Who knows. What we can say is that they knew perfectly well about this and did nothing and on top of that they tried to fire Jeremy to silence him in some way.

After Jeremy's death and Tape Girl's failure to put an end to the virus, Vanessa would arrive, who this time would be controlled by it. It is also worth noting that in the terms of conditions that they barely let you read it says that they are not responsible for any accidental transfer of digital consciousness, again pointing out that they knew how dangerous it was and that they wanted to clean their hands of this.

Already at the Pizzaplex you can highlight several things they did. One of the most serious was once again the cover-up of all the deaths that occurred during the years that the shopping center was open. Or there is also the fact that in the story Pressure Fazbear creates an attraction that recreates Fnaf 3, which is a complete spit on the anguish that Hudson felt in What we found. Or well, the fact that in Security Breach there are no human workers but Staff bots that replace them when there were before. The latter was done to save all the salaries that had to be paid to the employees. This did not happen overnight and the first indication of this was seen in The Storyteller when Burrows wants to use that attraction to save the salary of those who invented the stories that were then told to the public. Which was a big mistake because Mimic would end up taking complete control of the Pizzaplex.

But what I think is the most serious thing they did for me is build the Pizzaplex on top of Fnaf 6 and try to make a museum of that place. As I have said before Fnaf 6, whether you like it or not, has a great weight and feeling and that they used that as a museum signifying what the place means is simply despicable.

Finally, mention something that is more of a theory and that is that it is believed that Fazbear Entertainment has taken over William's research and uses it for its own benefit. This may be backed up by the scooper that we see in Ruin and that has the company logo or simply the fact that the story Dittophoboia is in the Tales from The Pizzaplex when it has nothing to do with this place. His reason for being in this saga is to give a clue that Fazbear is using what was seen in this story in the story Help Wanted to cause those hallucinations in Steve.

That's it for this post pointing out everything that Fazbear Entertainment has done and why that makes them another villain. Before I leave, I say that what has been said here is my opinion and that if you don't share it, nothing happens, we each have our own opinion and that's okay. In addition to saying that I did not include stories of the Fazbear Frights since I do not believe that the deaths in these are the fault of the company but rather Eleanor's.

Vivian's potential headcanon reactions to the losses gregory could endure, whether it's straight up death, controlled by glitchtrap, or stuffed into, and probably possessing an prototype animatronic(as well as interactions with him, when he's possessing said prototype animatronic)

You really up and asked for angst with a side of tears, eh? It's okay though. As long as you ask, I will deliver! Probably won't go into too much detail but I'll put as much as I can For the most part. Man, I hope I'm doing this right.

Trigger Warning for Child Death and FazEnt still being a shady business!!

Gregory Dies

She knew something was up when Freddy came cradling Gregory's limp body. Vivi opens her mouth to ask: "Is Gregory going to be okay?" but Freddy speaks before she can: "I'm terribly sorry... I couldn't save him this time..."

But she still denies it. She reaches for Gregory's hand and squeezes it, hoping to elicit some kind of response from him. Nothing. Vivi begins to cry over her fallen friend. She was usually good at helping fellow children? How did she fail him this time?

Glamrock Freddy kneels down to her level and rests a hand on her shoulder: "If it makes you feel any better, there is still one last thing we can do for him."

Together, they sneak away to find a proper burial site for him. They couldn't save him from death but at least his spirit can rest easy. But Vivi hasn't been the same since. She always understood the concept of death but now she thinks about the fragility of life whenever she sees children. Hopefully, no one else will be cruel enough to just take that away from them. She'll make sure of it this time.

Controlled by Glitchtrap

Vivi may not be the brightest but she had a feeling something was off about Gregory when he showed up grinning from ear to ear. That smile wasn't his. "Gregory, you okay?" she asked. "Oh, don't worry about me. I'm perfectly fine."

Though she took his answer initially, she couldn't get over how... different he was. In fact, everything is different all of a sudden. The animatronics and STAFF bots don't seem to care that he's just wandering the Pizzaplex anymore. In fact, he doesn't care about trying to leave as soon as possible.

It wasn't until he spoke about wanting to stay in the Pizzaplex forever and bring other children to join him too. "You're not Gregory!" Vivi blurts out.

He tries to convince her otherwise but it only further proved her suspicions. She knows it isn't him. They may have only been together for a little bit but it was enough for to pick up on what Gregory's like. Vivi didn't want to hurt him at first she saw him taking out that remote. The one they used to dismantle animatronics.

In a panic, she pushes him against the wall with enough force that she knocks him out cold. But was he freed? She didn't know for sure. She calls on Freddy and traps Gregory in his chest compartment. They have a new mission. To free Gregory from Glitchtrap's possession somehow.

Gregory Possesses an Animatronic

At first, she had no idea where he was when she entered the room. All she saw were three prototype animatronics that hadn't yet been completed, just left to collect dust in Parts and Services. The animatronics in question weren't much bigger than she was. They were making Glamrock counterparts for the Fazbear Kidz, an animatronic attraction they had in another Freddy Fazbear's location.

Vivi almost passed them by like she always did until one of them cried out: "No, wait! I'm over here!"

The voice sounded different but the speech patterns were familiar. Vivi approached the animatronics. That was when she noticed the bear animatronic had blood leaking out of it and it looked like there was something other than a endoskeleton on the inside.

"Vivi!" It cried out again. "It's me, Gregory!"

"Gregory? Why are you still here?"

He goes into detail about how he did manage to escape but with Glamrock Freddy dismantled and nowhere else to go, he didn't get too far and it didn't take long to find him. Hearing all of this fills Vivi with deja vu. For some reason, she felt like she's been in this situation before.

"It's not so bad," Vivi tries to assure him. Through Dread Unit's guidance, she managed to complete the animatronic and free Gregory though it didn't do much to cheer him up.

"Not so bad? That bunny lady ruined my life! Now I'm stuck here forever!" It took a while for Gregory to come to terms with his new life but Vivi was there to comfort him throughout all of it. FazEnt being FazEnt, the disposed of his human body and acted like the disappearances never happened.

Vivi became his closest friend after that, staying by his side as much as she could as he grows accustomed to his new life at the Pizzaplex. Even when the prototypes were completed and finally made their debut, Gregory and Vivi remained close.

That's as much as I can do for now. I'll probably add more if you ask.

Well, UCN is just Hell for William while he's chilling in hospice care (not joking) so really NOTHING is supposed to make sense about it. I mean, Springtrap AND Scraptrap are there torturing WILLIAM, like that's already a lot of things that can't coexist. But they all serve their purpose.

Springtrap reminds him of his own mortality

Baby reminds him of his failure as a father

Maybe Scraptrap reminds him of the futility of his attempts to escape, how meaningless his every action has become.

Let's say Scraptrap IS a decoy, just for a moment. He's referred to as Afton in the game. Everyone already knows what's become of William... so why does he need to be explicitly named NOW? He doesn't, unless there's room for uncertainty on whether or not it's truly him. And why would he need to reassure everyone that it's still him if the spirits had it right? (Re: "You may not recognize me at first, but I assure you, it's still me") He wouldn't HAVE to constantly confirm his identity if there was 100% certainty that it was HIM, right? Springtrap didn't need to assert his identity, Glitchtrap didn't need to either. So why would Scraptrap, the most off model continuation we've EVER been given, feel the need to make himself known as William Afton?

Harkening back to a previous post I made, let's assume William parted with just enough remnant to make this decoy feel more authentic. We already know the children act on emotion rather than facts (re: Michael). If they felt even the vaugest SUGGESTION of William Afton in the building, they've already proven to act with blind aggression, regardless of if it's actually him or not. This little bit of remnant would work remarkably well at fooling the children...

But Henry is smarter than that.

Henry wasn't as easily moved by his emotions like the children were. He needed more assurance that he had William in the building. So William gave him that assurance in the only way he could:

His voice.

There's no reason to believe Henry knew what Springtrap looked like, so it didnt matter what Scraptrap looked like either, so long as it was believable. But Scraptrap looks... fresh. Too fresh for a man who rotted away in a back room for thirty years and went through a fire and building collapse. Not to mention the suit itself isn't even close to the same size and shape as Springtrap, or even the original Spring Bonnie suit. And theres... bones in there. Springtrap didn't have any bone left, just whatever scraps of flesh the remnant managed to keep alive.

And what about Dark Springtrap from Sister Location? That showed a remarkable change in appearance to the suit due to the fnaf 3 fire, but it was still identifiable as Springtrap

Why would Scraptrap change so drastically? And how could he do it in such a short amount of time? How could William possibly HAVE the time and resources to do so when he's preparing to become Glitchtrap? He's only one man, he CANT achieve all of this while STILL buying into Henry's little game.

And that's just another thing: he KNOWS the pizza simulator is a trap, he ACKNOWLEDGES this. Why would he follow Henry's call if he knew it was a lie? Getting caught is NOT something William wants, it's not something he can afford at this point in time anyway. Then again... it's a perfect opportunity to get rid of Henry, and attempt to get rid of the spirits all in one go if Henry goes through with it, yeah? But Henry isn't going to spring it without William there.

There's a benefit to William if they all believe he's there, but there's a huge con to him being there himself. Idk about you, but a decoy pleases everyone's needs in this situation, wouldn't you say? The children get to feel William's presence and become blinded by rage, Henry finds comfort in hearing a familiar voice in the building before he destroys it "once and for all", and William finds satisfaction in watching it all go up in flames from the outside.

But of course, nothing ever goes entirely to plan right? It was all for nothing, and now William is in hell for just a moment. Despite his best efforts, he's found himself surrounded by vengeful spirits again.

If Springtrap is his mortality, his biggest fear... Scraptrap serves no purpose if he's truly William Afton. But if Scraptrap was an attempt at an escape, a failed one at that, thats something worth blowing back into William's face.

What better way to torment a man like William Afton than to remind him that he failed? That his efforts were for nothing? That no matter what he did, it still lead him back to them.

*sees ask recommendations*

*leans in slowly*

Do you have a Scraptrap AU to show off? Or a fun headcanon for him? I’m genuinely curious.

I never really focused on Scraptrap too much, just in general, and my whole reasoning for it was simply because I was suspicious of him from the start.

I don't think he's actually an Afton, there's too much Wrong with him for him to be a worse for wear version of Springtrap, too much that just doesn't add up

And I wouldn't ever put it past William to send a decoy of himself into a place he knew was a trap from the start
