The whole Elliot Ludwig podcast is a surprise and creepy thing to note. Elliot may not be the man he seems. And yet, I still wonder what this all means, did Elliot actually do it? Or was it a set up?

It was only half-true, Elliot was never blamed, the dead boy is actually the family member he lost so he blamed himself for his death:

I believe that Elliot is a good man, a family man at heart. And from his speech, he really sounds like a good guy. He wanted to make children happy, feel loved and find a place for them to belong.

I know people are already suspecting that Elliot front image of being a "perfect-family-man" is a lie to hide who he truly is, and the podcast about a dead boy in his bedroom stuffed into a duffle bag is raising some eyebrows. But, I still have a feeling that Elliot isn't at fault here.

We all know that Elliot got divorced in the 1930s, then in the 1960s a tragic family death pushed Elliot to his lowest. We never get to hear who died, many speculated it was Elliot's daughter who became the Poppy doll. But I don't think so.

I think I now know who died and what happened to them, I believe the family member Elliot lost is the boy found inside the duffle bag.

Now, I know there isn't any evidence to back this theory up, but work with me. I think that the whole podcast of Elliot being blamed and suspected for the boy's death is a lie, he was never blamed for it.

Remember, we heard the podcast when the Protagonist was dreaming after inhaling the Red Smoke and there's been some signs that the reverse audio we heard was the Protagonist talking to themselves for not being at the factory during The Hour of Joy and they came back because of survivor's guilt.

So I imagine that the podcast is Elliot's nightmare, his fear of being responsible for his lost and blaming himself for not saving the boy or being blamed for it.

I know this is a long stretch, but it's just a theory and I hope we get to know more of this in the next chapter.

The crime was just a set-up to keep the public occupied so the company can continue the experiments without getting any attention:

Now this one is I think is likely to be true. For all we know, Elliot made Playtime Co. to make toys for children to be happy. But then the experiments start to happen, in a VHS tape in Project: Playtime, Harley Sawyer (aka the Doctor/ the founder of the Bigger Body Initiative) said that people who starting to see things they shouldn't and lawsuits are coming in and out. So he propose the BBI to make giant toys to work for them.

I feel like after the whole program was in full swing, the public are starting to notice something fishy. Like the Catnap Recall, a news reporter talks about the concerns parents have about the Catnap toy because their kids start to have violent nightmares. So Playtime Co. recalled the Catnap toys, but damage was already done and I believe this became a slight problem for Playtime Co.

The company had to think up a way for the public to calm down and stay away from suspicion. And they came up with a plan.

Framing and making Elliot Ludwig, the Founder of Playtime Co. look like a sick psycho, hiding beneath his friendly-face is something worse.

I believe that Harley or Leith or someone killed a orphan boy at Playcare, took some of their bones and organs out, put him in a duffle bag then placed him inside Elliot's bedroom in his home.

And this seemed to work, with the public distracted by the new discovery of Elliot, Playtime Co. gets away with the experiments.

Elliot did kill a child, but he wasn't sick, he did it so Playtime Co. can shut down and stop the experiments:

This is a very long stretch, I know. But I think it be very unique if Elliot had no idea about the experiments and slowly overtime, he starts to notice something suspicious going on.

I imagine he investigated around for a bit, (like Rowan Stoll from the ARG) and found out about the Bigger Body Initiative. Imagine how horrified Elliot was, realizing the company was doing cruel experiments on orphans and turning them into toys. The complete opposite of what he originally wanted.

And perhaps he learned what happened to employees who knew or tried to expose Playtime Co. for it's experiments, getting killed off. And he tried to think up a good plan, any ways for him to expose the truth. But none seem to work, he knows he would end up dead, even if he was the CEO of Playtime, they could always replace him.

So, he did something he knew he would regret forever.

Killing a child inside his house.

I think Elliot did this because he knew if he did something horrible, the company would have taken some affect and perhaps it'll shut down due to the bad reputation.

And so he did it, he killed a young boy, had some of his skeleton and organs gone and stuff him into a duffle bag and placed it in his bedroom.

That's why Playtime Co. said they'll try and prove his innocents and keep his name on the brand. And I wouldn't be surprise if afterward they killed Elliot for spilling it out or turning him into a toy.

After relistening to Sleep Well by CG5, I remembered that there are two things that don't make sense about Poppy specifically, one of those things possibly being able to be explained with Project Playtime but I digress.

Putting aside the question as to whether Poppy is really trying to help the player or not, two things stand out to me

1. She has been in the glass case for a loooong time. How on Earth did she know about the Hour of Joy? She was presumably the first successful toy Playtime Co. ever produced, so Elliot Ludwig probably kept her in her glorified golden cage for decades.

Yes, when playing as a monster in Project Playtime you are able to hear the Prototype (presumably) talk to you in the beginning, so that could explain as to why she knew about the Hour of Joy. But that then again begs the question if the Prototype can consciously exclude certain toys from its communication when it chooses to communicate to more than one toy at a time, since running all of its monologs like a TED talk for everyone to hear would enable the opposing toys to sabotage its plans.

2. Speaking of Poppy's glass case, Chapter 3 confirmed that the toys need food to sustain themselves. If Poppy has been locked in that case for decades, how did she survive? Eating unlucky bugs that somehow managed to crawl inside? I highly doubt it.

Unless she is the only (to date known) toy that doesn't need sustenance because Poppy something something immortality I don't know she's special can't you tell, she should have been long dead. I really hope Mob Entertainment has a good explanation for that one, otherwise I'll be miffed.

And it sucks fr that this whole thing came from a man who had a good heart and good intentions only for things to go bad and sour.

Man just wanted his child back. But you can't fuck around with the dead and surly you cant fuck around making humanoid toys either so 🤷🏾‍♀️.

[testedcatdraws]

I'm hearing no one talking about the radio thing of Elliot Ludwig having that dead child in his estate.

Like, missing organs, WTF? Did Elliot kill the child? Did someone frame him? If he killed the child why would he do that? If someone framed him then why would they? Who is this child? Who is this child's parents?

Funni Cassidy FNAF Mascot Horror Au Idea

After the events of UCN, PQ 1-3, SB and SB:R. Cassidy still hasn’t rested but Afton has been taken care of to the point she looked up 80 fangames to give him animatronics out the wazoo.

While that’s running she looks around the world (Cause Ghost logic) and sees locations with history just as dark or even Darker than Fazbear industries. Upon this she looks for the main culprit in those locations. When it turns out most of them have solved themselves or have someone in process of dealing with it (I.e: Sjsm Protag setting all the souls free including Spooky, The Prototype taking everyone out during the hour of Joy with the other toys, Audrey now in control of Joey’s Cycle, etc) She starts offering her services to tie up Loose ends.

This is essentially the “Cassidy become a loose end Solver door to door Salesgirl” or the “Cassidy Finishing Business Au”

Some ideas include Her going to the Smiling Critters cartoon to expel Theodores leftover spirit from it cause apparently the animation studio is still up and running but kids are getting scared and traumatized from the show like the “episode” from Mob entertainments YouTube. So she inserts herself into the show and Keeping the Princess quest theme going she makes a bear form called I dunno Princess Goldiebear or something and when she fixes the show the animation studio makes merchandise off this new character.

If you can’t tell I have thought about this for far too long. And yes I’m using She/her for Cassidy cause it feels like it fits more. Also I have a small theory the “He is the one you should not of killed.” Is her talking about Evan/CC and she’s doing this mainly for revenge but also for his retribution ok byyyeeee

So we all know Theodore is catnap, but who were the other toys when they were....human?

I HC that Huggy Wuggy is Elliott Ludwig

[hiwelcometothemonstersancturary]

there's 238190 people i need to message back but my brain hasn't been working for days, here's a sketch of a ludwig family photo, taken after the prototype/elliot realized some things abt himself. they wanted to cheer him up a bit

[roseidiot]

Y'aaall.. I know that I was supposed to post abt TADC right now, but hear me out-

This is CatNap..right? So, that's him in his other form, and I was like "Hey, let's give him a nickname!" Because why not?

In my AU, his name will be DollNap instead, because of his body shape that looks more like a doll/Ragdoll/Voodoo doll..he took some skin from DogDay, Hoppy Hopscotch, Bubba, KickinChicken, and PickyPiggy. And Bobby and CraftyCorn are alive in my AU but they are not in the playcare, due to them finding a way out to escape from CatNap, and CatNap was looking for them around the playcare in hope that he could find them, but that happened long time ago now, and the bitch still won't give up-

And Elliott Ludwig is basically alive due to the experiments on him, and once you meet him, you'll find that his hand looks more like the prototype's, because Elliott managed to kill the prototype by a way that I don't even know, and took his hand and placed it with his. Not to mention, the toys in the factory respects him in the highest levels possible because he's a father figure to them, especially CatNap, but CatNap got betrayed along with Huggy and Mommy by Elliott because of what they did in the factory and all the deaths they caused, which is something that Poppy is worried about for reasons. And "The hour of joy" tape explains what I mean.

Anyways hope you have a nice day☀/afternoon/night🌙

POPPY THEORY

Okay, so you know how Elliot Ludwig is constantly talking about how his favorite thing in the world is children's smiles? Like he goes on about it, and it's even in his introductory tape to PlayCare?

.....Why are the Smiling Critters called the Smiling Critters?

I mean yeah, no duh, they have massive fucking smiles, but in-universe, why did Playtime Co. make these things? Was it in Elliot's memory?

If that's the case, then that strengthens the idea that Elliot Ludwig is the Prototype, and makes CatNap and even more tragic character.

Think about it. If Elliot really is the Prototype, then it would be a slap in the fucking face for him to find out that they just released a line of toys called "The Smiling Critters" when he KNOWS about the Bigger Bodies Initiative. And, in his efforts to stay true to himself and help one of the kids escape with himself, he gets him NEARLY KILLED, TORTURED, AND TURNED INTO A BIGGER BODY. On top of that, one that is constantly smiling.

Wouldn't that be fucked up or what.

That, and the opening cartoon. I've seen a couple people point out now that the cartoon could be a depiction of what the children were going through during the Hour of Joy, which strengthens the idea of the Smiling Critters being directly linked to smiling children as an ironic nod to Elliot Ludwig, and just a slap in the fucking face for him.

Man.

[endeenderman]

The biggest disappointment of 2024 so far is the fact that I found out that in Poppy Playtime kids cannot take home the toy that they made with the "make a friend" machine... 😭

[ask-playtimeco]

To Elliot Ludwig,

Is there any LGBTQ+ employees in Playtime Co? Like any gays, lesbians, transgenders or asexuals?

THE DOCTOR.

My headcannon design of Harley Sawyer from Poppy Playtime. Like this post if you hate his freak ass. :)

[zinnie-zoloft]

I went to catholic school which means I uncontrollably obsess over religious imagery and metaphors

Like… CatNap worshipping the Prototype, the player being called Angel, DogDay hanging in a crucifixion pose, Ludwig playing god and attempting to create a sanctuary while finding the secret to eternal life

Is this anything?

[scarletgemstone]
