Are remnant and souls 100% the same thing? As in, could remnant be something that is produced by the ghosts possessing the animatronics, and not the souls themselves? Ok, I'm making no sense. Let me explain.
So, remnant = soul metal, not gonna contest that, I'm more so saying remnant =/= souls. A common understanding I see is that if something has remnant, it's haunted. I don't think that is necessarily the case, I think that it's like... I have a venn diagram to explain.
I have reasoning, don't worry. First, I feel it explains a few details and makes the endings of 3 & 6 more satisfying with the rest of the story, but I'll get to that. Second, I do have some proof, although it is mostly just bending the evidence to my desire... yeah, this is very much not scientifically sound.
Anyway, the only real information I know of that relates directly to remnant is the scooper diagram
It is generally accepted that this means that heating remnant destroys it permanently, but all this says is it might destroy its effects. Meaning it loses its ability to animate things.
What this idea makes me wonder is if the reason William keeps coming back is that he doesn't want to move on? The scooper's note simply says that heat may destroy the effects of remnant, but if remnant and souls are separate things (and we have no reason to think they're the same), and haunted objects produce remnant (as all the animatronics having remnant seems to suggest), then why would high temperature make the ghosts move on? Have we ever been given reason to believe heat affects souls?
Maybe the real way to make a soul move on, is to help it find peace, then burn the remnant... like fnaf 3's good ending.
If we assume the good ending is canon (because unless it was retconned, why wouldn't it be?), then the missing kids - who aren't theorized to still be around at all in the recent games - would have moved on, and their remnant destroyed, fully ending their story. A satisfying end for them, minus Cassidy, who stuck around, maybe going with William to keep track of him?
That idea assumes that the missing kids aren't in Ennard/Molten Freddy/the Funtimes, though. Simply because I don't think they are. I think their remnant is, William may have extracted some of it before destroying the OG band, or if there are kids who went missing in '87, maybe they're haunting the Funtimes? I don't know, I'm fairly certain the Funtimes are in no way haunted by the '85 kids. It just makes no sense logistically. Either way, that remnant is destroyed in the fnaf 6 fire, the kids are out of the game from now on.
Cool? Cool. Fnaf 6 fire, the big finale... well not really.
It is possible that fire does make a spirit move on. Which sounds super contradictory, but hear me out. Maybe the fnaf 6 fire made the spirits move on because they told it would, but it wasn't hot enough to destroy the remnant. That... makes the most sense here, I think. It would explain why we see versions of these characters, but they don't seem aware. It's because they're simply a remnant of them.
It's possible certain characters didn't move on (Mike, he had both a thermometer and experience with this, could have realized it wasn't hot enough), but I think most did. (I am neutral on the glammike theory, btw. Simply pointing out these two theories are not contradictory, I am unaware of any modern theory that would contradict this one (Glitchtrap is remnant & AI with this theory btw, we know remnant can affect humans so...))
This was meant to just be a silly headcanon I came up with to smooth out some issues that have been bothering me, but I've been writing this for an hour, and I have fully convinced myself, oh no.

oh please share your thoughts on titans curse percabeth.... we'd love to hear them
okay one thing about the titans curse is that it is the thematic turning point of the entire series. prior to the titans curse, pjo treated its topics seriously, but tlt and som both have a.. lightness to them. more comedic. just dipping our toes in. no one dies.
but ttc is remarkably different from the previous two. darker. set in winter to function as a true middle-point. characters begin to die. percy declares himself the child of the prophecy. this is when things begin to actually happen.
and one of the things that start happening is: annabeth and percys relationship starts tipping into one more overtly romantic.
while i enjoy established relationships, in stories, i really enjoy that bit beforehand. the implication it brings. annabeth is gone for the majority of the titans curse, but the whole book is defined by percys love for her, both platonically and in a way that even he only begins to realize is romantic. the new seriousness of the book also leads to moments that are more charged.
i love botl/tlo percabeth and their messy love triangle yuri and broiling hate and loyalty they think cant be acted on because someones going to end up dead, and i love they do get together! i had their underwater kiss as my phone background for like a year!
but their relationship in the titans curse - especially after they meet again, having both held up the world - just has such a new, melancholy feel to it. one of my favorite pjo quotes comes from the titans curse, and it really encapsulates why i like their dynamic in it so much better than i did here:
"So I took her hand, and I don't know what everybody else heard, but to me it sounded like a slow dance: a little sad but maybe a little hopeful, too."
