Something i feel like doesn't get touched upon: Henry is aware he's a fictional character. This was confirmed by Dogman himself on several occasions.

But there's a catch: Unlike other self-aware characters, Henry actively hides this from the player, as he knows we would try to stop him.

He makes it sound like his 'ultimate goal' is removing the shackles of mortality from humankind to foul the player, who doesn't know he's self-aware and could fully buy it. But that's not his end goal.

Major hints towards this:

"Once enough souls are collected, i will have a substantial number of souls to produce the machine that i have hoped to build from day one. A machine that can sucessfully take an adult male from our realm to another, and back again. Soon, i aim to no longer be in this realm at all." - Tape 5 (JOY4)

Henry talks about gathering souls to build a machine to escape Dayshift at Freddy's, however he words his goals in such a way that you could interpret "ascending to another realm" as him surpassing his own mortality, but that's actually just a small step on his plan: First, he finds a way to become immortal so that he has unlimited time living, THEN he starts researching ways to enter the real world (in this case, through a machine).

DSAF 3 Legacy ending - through the entire route, Henry slowly strips away the player's control over Jack. The explanation for this is that Miller has a passive aura (his influence, HIS LEGACY) that can corrupt people all while he's still in the void, which you can with see with Legacy Jack:

In dsaf 1, Dave convinces him to join him. At this point Jack just wants to mess around with him while having some fun to boot. He's like "Yeah we can do that, why not". He's not evil (yet), he just wants to goof around.

In dsaf 2, Henry's influence starts seeping in: Legacy gets more and more malicious as the route goes on BUT there's still a small fragment of his humanity in him: Dave mentions that Jack looks genuinely sad after Peter's speech, showing that it affected him and maybe even led him to reflect on his actions, showing that Legacy isn't an near emotionless monster (...yet...).

By the end of Dsaf 3, Miller's influence has degraded Jack to merely a vessel, with no free-will nor conscience (we, the player, are Jack's conscience since he doesn't have a soul. Gonna elaborate more on that in a minute); He straight up BLOCKS US from choosing a dialogue option that could ruin his plans; At this point, Henry has more control over the player character than we do, and that leads up to the most symbolical moment of Henry's self awareness:

At the end of the route, once Henry has full control of Jacktrap, the first thing he does is cut ALL contact with the player and make himself untraceable. He does this by crashing the game and deleting the save file, but he's still somewhere in your device, secretly researching a way out through his vessel while you are literally unable to find him. We can't find or control Jack, they're both just... Gone.

Worth mentioning that hes also immortal so he has all the time in the world to accomplish his goal and no oposition. HE WON.

Some other minor hints:

This poster that can appear on the Flipside.

"This universe is critically misunderstood" - tape 1 (JOY1)

Aware that the universe doesn't restrict itself solely to the game.

"My influence... the culmination of my being... I leaked into your world. Go ahead, let me DIE. I'll be back. I always COME BACK!" - DSAF 3 Good Ending

"your world" refers to irl, he's saying that the evil that exists and can harm real people is part of him.

After someone asked on reddit about what happens after the Dsaf 3 Evil ending, Dogman himself replied "Henry probably does some DDLC type-shit and tries to become real" (i couldn't find the comment itself but i swear it was real i'm not going insane)

An topic i always wanted to ramble about: How Dee's death (Deeath) went down

It's actually a LOT more elaborated than you would think; There's multiple cutscenes and small lore tidbits that add so much more to it. I'll contextualize what was going on first:

June XX, 1973 - Henry killed 2 kids at Fredbear's Family Diner, leading them to possess the Spring Freddy and Spring Bonnie suits (i believe it happened on june 19th, as that would make it less than a week before y'know what); He then convinces William to help him get rid of the evidence (this is BEFORE he was lobotomized, back when he still had a moral compass and acted as a fairly normal person. This detail is gonna be insanely important so keep it in mind). Worth noting that the robots aren't agressive, likely because the fat iguana knew how to keep them controlled by exploiting their fear.

June XX, 1973 (june 20-21th is where i think it makes the most sense) - Henry's original plan was to rig Will's Springbonnie suit and then frame him as the murderer but William Fucking Afton always comes back HOWEVER this was even better for Henry as it made Willy a perfect labrat to Miller's research… That's a topic for another day though.

Afternoon June 23, 1973 - Jack leaves Dee at the Diner for her 6th birthday and goes home, buries his dead dog and then drinks 'till he passes out.

6 pm june 23 - The party's over, the restaurant is closing down, almost everyone went home and now Dee is left alone. Henry sees this as a opportunity to kill a third kid so he uses the Spring Freddy suit to lure her into an employees-only room (not the saferoom; likely the maintenance room as this was before cameras where put everywhere)... except Dee actually tries to fight back. Henry does injury her but he's playing it safe, not taking any chances that she might set off his springlocks.

After a few minutes of unsucessfully trying to kill her, Henry instead leaves her locked and bleeding out in that room and tells William about the situation, asking for his help. Willie hesitates and even tells Henry "Why can't you do it yourself?" to which Henry replies "She keeps struggling". He then forces Dave to do it.

Reminder: he HAD morals, THIS is the moment that they get shattered. He wasn't just hesitating, he was crying his eyeballs out. Hell, i think part of the reason flipside Dee forgave him fairly easily is because she saw the sheer agony he was in because he HAD to do it. this deeply traumatized him, Davetrap freaks out in the evil ending when Jack brings up Dee because THIS is what broke William and turned him into Dave; It was his first kill, what led to him questioning Henry's ethics and ultimately getting lobotomized. Deep down he WANTS to redeem himself but his devotion to his "father figure" - the closest person to him - prevents him from doing so.

When Jack got there, She was still alive. He was THIS close to saving her and yet... he couldn't. (Also the reason Dee must have been at the maintenance/backstage is because Jack died in the saferoom and she wasn't there, at least not initially)

When he was dying in the spring freddy suit, he SAW Henry carry Dee's corpse and put it in the SpringBonnie suit (it's literally her hair style; also the focus of that cutscene is showing why Blackjack attacked Henry, and it's because of what he did to him and his family: first, it shows Jack bleeding out in the saferoom, then Peter dying wearing the Rat springlock costume and finally the scene we're talking about, which Blackjack seems the most pissed off about, like out of the three deaths this was the one that hurt him the most).

Henry kept Dee's body in the springbonnie suit until he finished building the puppet. A explanation i seen why is when they left her without a vessel her ghost started haunting the Diner, trying to do whatever she could to expose/draw attention to Henry and Dave, like possessing objects to signal that there was something wrong, maybe even trying to point out to incriminating evidence. Henry notices this and starts building a vessel for her so that he can control what she does with controlled shocks and even shutting down the metal/eletronics parts in the puppet so that she's unable to do anything. since there's no spare costumes, he temporarily puts her in the springbonnie to prevent any further troubles since he knows how to deal with the possessed robots/costumes.

TL;DR: Dee's death is basically THE moment the lore revolves around; it's essential to Jack, Dave, Henry, Blackjack and (obviously) Dee's characters, adding so much depth to them just from how they were impacted by it.

Just wanted to lore ramble and i don't think anyone ever went in depth into this as i just did so… Thanks for coming into TED talk (:

Actually scratch that, it's more like 99%. And a fair bit of trans Dave as well. Love those idiots
