#since the point is their designs link back to the animatronic they're designed for

[monty-glasses-roxy]

* I'd post a page with all of them on and anyone that wants to play would comment, reblog or send an ask with their guesses. I'd then make another post that tags whoever made guesses (obviously can't do that with anon guesses) with the answers after a day or two, with some more information on each of them.

Could alternatively post each horse picture individually and have a poll under it for guesses? I dunno, if enough people want to play, I'll poll for how I do it too lmao

I was thinking of doing two pages that are the same, except one has them all tacked up (with the saddles and stuff on) while the other doesn't. Like a hard mode and an easy mode for the game, ya know?

I'm gonna try and rope some Discord friends in on this anyway, so this poll is just to see if anyone else would want to play btw

(Also no guarantee I'll ever actually get around to doing this but I live in hope)

Let's Talk About Sun and Moon

I've been itching to share all my thoughts & theories on the Daycare Attendant ever since I first played SB. With MattPat's latest video reacting to Fuhnaff's recent Ruin theory, I could no longer contain my silence. It's obvious Steel Wool is pointing us back to Sister Location, or more specifically Circus Baby's Pizzaria. I think we'll find that the daycare attendant has been here all along. Below are a few key things I want to open discussions with the DCA fandom. Buckle up friends, and grab a snack or 3, because this is a long one. Let me know your likes, let me know your dislikes. (FYI general disclaimer that I bummed all these pictures from Google and that spoilers ARE contained below)

Personally, my theory is the DCA is an old funtime/toy animatronic from Cirus Baby's Pizzaria that was repurposed for one reason or another and brought to the PizzaPlex. Let's go over some of the reasons why:

Does the Daycare attendant fit with the Glamrock animatronics?

No. Not even a little. The Glamrocks are synonymous with neon signs, rock n roll, and 80s-early 90s vibes. Sun and Moon are based off of the naturally occurring satellites we see in the sky on the daily. Most FNAF theorist tends to unanimously state they simply "don't know what to do with the daycare attendant." It's understandable. They don't really flow with the rest of the SB cast animatronics.

You know who I think they do mesh with though? Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy, and Bellora. While one could argue they are not an exact fit, they certainly fit the circus designs far better than the Glamrocks. Sun with his striped pants, bells, ribbons, and poofy collar certainly give him more of a clown-like look (dare I even suggest, they look like a jester, Mimic fans?)

I've also always felt that Moon's speech patterns model Funtime Freddy's more than the Glamrocks or even Suns. They sound like preselected lines he's been programmed to say, rather than cohesive sentences most of the time with limited vocabulary usage, not unlike the lines delivered by the withered, Funtime, and Toy animatronics in Ultimate Custom Night. Phrases that sound innocent, but with the given inflection, they're obvious threats. Kellen Goff, the overly amazing voice actor for both the DCA, and Funtime Freddy stated once in an interview that the audition description for FF was "a voice that children would love, but adults would hate/fear." He nails that with Freddy, but, I think his performance with Moon warrants that description somewhat as well.

Another circus link I want to point out is this little devil right here:

Ballon Boy. He too blends in with the circus theme. It's also worth mentioning the arcade machine hidden within the DCA's room is Balloon World. Where in-game versions of Sun and Moon watch over any poor soul attempting to complete this flappy bird ripoff. Has anyone ever noticed that the arcade cabinet, and the game's home screen you start on, display a carnival tent?

Further, Kids Cove is linked to the daycare- the floor map shows us the shore of Kids Cove flows into the daycare, which flows to a flowery hilltop where the DCA's castle room sits. A pirate version of Foxy is the featured animatronic of Kid's Cove. In fact, every character cut-out you need to flash with the FazCam to access the DCA's room is a member of the original four: Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy.

The DCA lore from Bobbiedots states the DCA was "an old stage animatronic" NOT specifically from the FazBear theater. Of course, no one can deny the FazBear theater is absolutely pointing us toward them being meant to be performing there. The artwork of the daycare has the FazTheater in the "sky" per the scenery, there's a sun framing the entrance banner, and Moon's patterns decorate the door. Additionally, both the comedy and tragedy masks line the banner.

Could it be they are older animatronics meant to be retrofitted and added to the lineup but were instead reprogrammed as the Daycare Attendant last minute or, were they performing an old throwback routine from their original pizzeria for a time before they were reprogrammeed? Or was it always the FazBear Theater from the get-go? I feel all these scenarios are somewhat plausible.

Sun/Moon make more rudimentary machine sounds than the other animatronics in SB. It's hard to describe the glamrocks and the endos just sound smoother, like well-oiled machines. While Sun's movements are fluid and the sounds he produces are rhythmic, he sounds more like a clock or wind-up toy than anything else. Moon flat-out squeaks- a LOT. Like he hasn't been oiled in years. (Admittedly, this could just be a subtle attempt by Steel Wool to help you deal with Moon during the generator section. It's dark as crap, and you CAN hear Moon coming far sooner than you see him.) You can listen to isolated sounds of Sun's mechanisms on the FNAF Wiki and you can hear Moon on any SB playthrough. I think their cable might also be considered rudimentary compared to the glamrocks as well, but, this is also a personal opinion that doesn't really have any evidence to back it up.

I could probably add a few more minor things, but I think I've given us all quite enough to chew on for now. I know I've failed to mention Eclipse this entire time. Without any additional lore, it's hard for me to decide whether he's the original version of Sun and Moon, or a brand new addition. Obviously, a lot of my theories here are either supported or thrown out the window based on which one is true. I'm okay with letting that lie for now until we (hopefully) get a more concrete answer from Scott or Steel Wool.

It seems like we'll be getting a Sun-based story in Tales #8 so I'm eagerly awaiting to see if that completely disproves my ideas, or gives them any merit. I certainly don't think I have them 100% figured out, but, I think the limited amount of lore regarding the origins of the DCA means Steel Wool's hiding something. I'm eager to hear everyone's thoughts! Thanks for coming to my Sun/Moon TED talk.

I Will Put You Back Together

In Fnaf Security Breach there are alot of hints towards the Bite Victim being somewhat active during the events of Security Breach, which many of these hints implying he's possesing some sort of AI. Matpat took this as meaning Gregory was a robot clone of the Crying Child/Bite Victim, but I think that another familliar face in the game might be our ghost host.

I present to you...

"I Will Put You Back Together" - a Security Breach theory

You may be wondering, if the Bite Victim isn't Gregory then where IS he? Well, I have reason to believe a certain marionette might be our prime candidate to host a restless spirit.

Nightmarionne.

Evidence

•Recurring Character

Throughout the past few games we have seen ALOT of Nightmarionne, first appearing as a non canon character in fnaf 4 only to become canon in UCN and appear ever since (except in Fnaf AR). Now, considering this character has gotten so much seemingly unwarranted focus I've decided to dig deeper and see why this may be. In Fnaf VR Help Wanted Nightmarionne's level is set in the Fnaf 4 bedroom, which means that he's now canonically associated with the Afton household out of the gate. He also seems to have been created by Afton thanks to his UCN dialogue. If we look back at my previous theories I proposed the idea that Nightmare is a representation of William Afton from Michael's point of view, and considering Nightmarionne started as a reskin of Nightmare I think Nightmarionne must be linked to a member of the afton family too.

•Design Choices

Throughout the series we've seen many versions of the Security Puppet that Charlotte Emily possessed, with the Puppet starting out with no tear stains, and then gaining tear stains (and glowing eyes in the fnaf 2 jumpscare) once possesed, only to lose them after fnaf 6 when Charlie was freed. (We can see the mask on The Blob and the tears are missing) if we look at Nightmarionne we quickly notice that they also have tear stains and glowing eyes, the two signs of possession from Charlie. This suggests that Nightmarionne is possesed.

•Must Actually Exist

In Help Wanted it is stated by Tape Girl that the dev team scanned in old circuit boards and animatronic parts to recreate the old characters as accurately as possible, in order for them to add Nightmarionne this way they'd need to have access to Nightmarionne parts, meaning Nightmarionne must have been an actual Puppet that was created at some point. I think perhaps Nightmarionne is the result of the ending line of fnaf 4; "I will put you back together." A line William Afton said to the Bite Victim. This could mean Charlie's death happened way sooner than we thought and also be the inspiration for the Puppet approach. William likely noticed Charlie possessing the Security Puppet and tried to recreate the "miracle" with his own son. Though It's also possible that he tried the Circus Baby's Pizza World plan first AND THEN killed Charlie and saw her possess the Puppet, using it as a base to work from. I think he may have thought he was unsuccessful, hiding Nightmarionne away in shame like he did Circus Baby. Or maybe he thought he WAS successful and hid Nightmarionne away exactly like he hid Baby. Perhaps Nightmarionne is what was in the box?

•How'd he get to the Pizzaplex?

This is a point I'm not entirely sure about, but it's possible that Afton had Vanny do experiments in the sewers with the staffbots to try and make them a vessel for the Bite Victim, explaining why they're all altered to look like his original host. It's also possible the possession is what caused the change. We know William no longer felt any shame after meeting Scrap Baby so he may have wanted his other loyal child to be one of his new partners after Liz kicked the bucket. We know one thing for sure, it worked. The post-it notes and Afton Family dinner table prove that Bite Victim was in that silo at some point. (There are also a ton of Nightmarionne plushies around the pizzaplex, one being collectible, this further cements his presence.)

Plushie proof:

Extra

The door leading to the collectible Nightmarionne plush has a painting of the bed from fnaf 4 further cementing the connection of the Aftons and Nightmarionne.

Flaws

How Nightmarionne got from Help Wanted/it's old body to the Pizzaplex is kinds unclear and hard to explain other than Vanny sneaking back to steal his parts

The Nightmare Staffbots have "in your dreams" written on them, implying that Nightmarionne is a nightmare. Though it could also be the Bite Victim taunting William and rejecting his offer to help him.

Nightmarionne has always acted aggressively in every incarnation of him which doesn't fit the Bite Victims personality very well, though this could just be him lashing out like the majority of the possesed bots, maybe even intentionally because of the suffering he went through before his death? He could be bitter and spiteful.
