#i'd like to think that gregory took as much from henry too

[rebelpapermaker]

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring of modern FNAF theories:

Michael is the rogue indie developer.

Hear me out:

There is a clear divide right now in the FNAF games: games sanctioned by Fazbear Inc (Help Wanted, the racing game) and the games that came before. Help Wanted is supposed to be a VR recreation of those early games, right? But where are the details? They'll reference little things, inside jokes, but they won't go over the actual plots of these games, the biggest example being Sister Location and Pizza Sim. They have to change those plots completely, turning Sister Location into a more standard FNAF experience and Pizza Sim into a minigame.

Maybe we've been looking at "Michael is the protagonist of FNAF" the wrong way, although I do think he is a character we play as in each of the first six games; maybe the story of FNAF is initially told to us by Michael through these unsanctioned games, including all the gory details that only he could possibly know. Who else could possibly be around who knows not only the details of the multiple bite incidents, but what happens to Michael in Sister Location, as well as pizza sim- and for that matter, FNAF 4 with its intricate nightmare scenario.

"how could Michael have made the games if he got scooped?"

Canonically, remnant heals the body. I agree with everyone that purple zombie Mike is way more fun, but the cutscenes with ennard wearing Mike around actively tell us this: when ennard leaves, it forces its way out his mouth- why not leave through the gaping hole it entered in? Unless that hole was closed up now. Mike turning purple could be from the constant bruising being puppeted around by a robot would give you, faster than the remnant could possibly repair it.

Also, zombie learning to code to share a company's dirty secrets is pretty fucking funny.

"Michael died at the end of pizza sim"

I think that's a convenient thing for Michael to imply, with several reasons why he chose to. Number one, if Fazbear Inc is actively trying to find the person exposing the company for its past, telling them one of their major suspects is dead could be helpful. Number two, why were we told in the game that a way out was planned for us? We are explicitly told a way out exists, and then once we get to security breach, we see that the tangle is running around- something that shouldn't be possible. There is the possibility that the tangle found the way out, but consider the more compelling option: Michael took the way out, and the consequence of that was monsters escaping. And once again, it's Michael's fault, though not on purpose, that the horrors continue. Michael should have stayed, and that regret is reflected in the game. Everything would have come to an end if he had.

The wall code in the sister location room in security breach is also a big hint to me. Clearly we're supposed to associate that room with Michael. I've heard many theories on who could have written the wall code; none of them make much sense combined with Michael's room. They make sense on their own, but we have to take where the code is placed into account too!

I do think that if this theory is true, robot Gregory is also true, but that's a very long other post lol. And ultimately I have no fucking idea if this is right!! This is FNAF, we may never know, but might as well toss another idea out there.

(it's also been pointed out that glamrock Freddy's manner of speaking, if we're going to compare it to characters we've heard talk, is much closer to Henry, both character and speech pattern-wise. We don't hear much from Michael, granted, but combined with the comments we see him make in the logbook, he doesn't match Freddy's demeanor very well. There's also AI in there of course, but I think it's worth noting)

hi, im the anon who sent the kate/edwina and featherington heir casting leak! lol i have no one to discuss bridgerton w/ so i thought i'd ask you! what do you think of future seasons combining stories? i was surprised s1 was just book 1, i was sure when they announced the series for netflix it would be 4 seasons w/ 2 love stories per season but apparently they want 6/7 seasons overall!

2/4 - sheffield anon continue- a leak for the royal borough of maidenhead and winsdor from the production design team for a planning permit for sets stated they plan to film for 5 more years for 6/7 more installments. i don't know what they mean but im guessing a combo of full seasons and maybe specials like downton abbey did because 5 years isn't enough for 6/7 full seasons as s1 took 9 months to film/9 months for Post Production. what bridgerton stories would you want combined in future seasons?

3/4 - sheffield anon conti- i think s2 will probs just be anthony x kate, along w/ a large role for edwina and her journey to find love + a bunch of new/expanded characters we're probs not even thinking of! like s1 had Will/Alice, Lord Granville who was briefly mentioned in book 3 when Sophie lied to lady Bridgerton and said her mom worked for them!! i did a re-read and nearly screamed, i wonder if the Granvilles will play a part in Sophie x Benedict's story in the show!

4/4 - sheffield anon conti- i saw someone on tumblr say s3 just being benedict seems too little story so it would be nice to add Fran's first marriage and courtship w/ a hint of Micheal at the very end (like s1 cameo of sir phillip!). i think that would be a great idea personally and s4 being pen x colin and whatever they choose for eloise would be perfect imo. by the time they get to greg & hyan they could simply be shorter seasons or movies. it'll be so cute to see them all grown up!

feel free to hop in this inbox anytime, nonny, that’s what it’s here for !

I was suprised that season one was just one book too, mostly because of netflix’s track record with cancelling shows. that being said, i think that covid has really made them take a different look at their service especially bc while cable shows have taken longer to come out, they’ve had new content much quicker. 

i definitely think it would be smart to at least have sophie & benedict meet at the masquerade somewhere in anthony & kate’s season? only because they can pik up from that & it’ll make more sense when season three comes around bc they won’t have to explain why it’s two years later . Also i think it’d definitely be interesting to see how they incorporate the entire Granville/Grenville story into Benny & Sophie’s story because of their interactions in season one and especially the entire Benny/Henry dynamic ! also frannie & john do meet around the time that benny & sophie are doing their thing so that’s another way they could probably condense at least some of fran’s season ( although fran def deserves an entire season bc she’s always the left out bridgerton sibling & also her and michael’s story is so intense & full of things that shouldn’t be left out ? ) I think you’re right if anything they would combine pen / eloise’s seasons if only bc of the bond they both share & the one that colin kind of comes into ( and bc they’re books are set like 2 weeks apart lmao ) . BUT i’m really hoping they actually get to gregory/hyacinth’s stories even if they do have to combine them. They are the chaos twins ! :)
