The VANNI Network being on the flip side to explain teleportation like in Monty section makes a lot of sense. Even somewhat explains the protag of HW2 being trapped and what Princess Quest/UCN are.
It seems that the Flipside is the afterlife or at least seriously connected to the afterlife.
Btw, I have a William Afton theory if you’d be interested in hearing it out
To me, the flipside feels like an artificial purgatory, we know that it's all coding from what the characters talk about, so I feel like it has to be the victims trapped within code, remnant, or something that one of the characters constructed for them. And I'd love to hear your afton theory!
@@AustinTatious02 Considering you're the only FNAF theorist I've heard connect VANNI to the Flipside, I hope to see that as a video one day!
As for my William theory... bear with me, it's really vibes based and incredibly long.
The Setup:
Fallfest had canonical appearances in 1970 and 1983
The FNAF 4 house can be seen on a hill overlooking the Fallfest 1983
A car that has purple aesthetics similar to the purple car of Midnight Motorist and Later That Night is there
Fallfest (as of 1983) seems to be a Carnival consisting of a barn (HW1 and HW2), a Carousal (HW2), and a Shooting Gallery (HW2)
Mystic Hippo and Carnie also fit the carnival theme (as fortune tellers were popular in carnivals and carnies... well, obvious), and both have Henry's animatronic hinged design.
Adjacently, several of the subtitles mention a 'Carnival Nurse' as well in the Patch game of HW2
Glitchtrap seems to be a handsewn costume that is implied to be William Afton's first official Spring Bonnie costume
Fredbear singing show was a thing in 1930's, with a dancing bear that would be around in Carnivals
Mrs. Afton has never been seen in-game or stories, barring the STAFF bot recreation in Security Breach (where she sits at the head of the table and William Afton looks like he's dressed as a carnival ring master), and possibly is represented by Clara in Immortal and the Restless, as well as maybe Balora.
Balora has the appearance of a Ballet Dancer, who also did tight-rope stunts in circuses and carnivals.
Clara sets her and Vlad's house on fire when she grows sick of Vlad's lies
The fire that hits the Carousal starts at the barn of Fallfest 1983 (and may be tied to the Shooting Gallery also going up in flames)
Charlie and Crying Child are both implied to have died in 1983
William Afton is British (I promise this will matter)
The Theory:
In 1930's USA, Fallfest has become a yearly tradition in Hurricane, Utah, headed by an average midwestern family who were popular in the town. This Fallfest included Fredbear, the dancing bear. This carnival would take place on their family farm, and included games in their own barn.
Fallfest was being run by Mrs. Afton’s family (before she was an Afton, so I refer to her as Clara for convenience) for generations, possibly since the 1930’s with the Fredbear singing show, with her also doing ballet tight-rope performances (assuming she's based on Ballora).
Henry Emily was working as an engineer for the carnival attractions, likely creating Carny and Mystic Hippo, alongside the musical melodies and Fazband.
William Afton was a British man who immigrated to the US to pursue the entertainment industry (hence why all his children grew up with British accents). He would help Henry create the characters of the musical melodies, mascot outfits, pring Bonnie and Fredbear, and the Fazbear characters (who we see eventually play at Fallfest 1983 according to the HW2 crane game).
Which comes to Carnival Nurse. It’s interesting that she is... well, a carnival nurse, in the Pizzeria Simulator location. In a game mode that has carnival themed characters (Lefty is just reskinned Carnie, Pig Patch is a musical melody member of the Carnival, and Scrapbaby is a clown, and we know that William Afton built two businesses based on circuses).
It’s also interesting that we don’t actually know what William Afton was doing in the UK before he moved to the US. I say he came to the US because he wanted to enter the entertainment industry… but what if that wasn’t what he was doing before?
Gibi postulates that William Afton only thought about the mysteries of the human body after studying yoga gurus that were mentioned in FNAF 1 in hidden sounds, which is where he learned about the idea of combining metal and flesh for remnant. I don’t disagree… but I think William has ALWAYS been interested in the human body.
What if he was a medical professional in the Uk and used his talents here? Because, beyond working as a Mascot performer and businessman with Henry and Clara, William could possibly have been a nurse or doctor AT the Fallfest Carnival.
It makes a certain amount of sense for how he became a genius with experimenting on children, not just in stuffing them into suits, but in creating technology that targets their minds (nightmare experiments) and in trying to recreate human physiology (Sister Location faces we see in the main room). We always assumed his experiments started with his own kids, but what if he actually took an interest in the kids whom Helpy represents?
The injured ones who were sent to his medical tent. The carnival nurse voice lines are very interesting, because they are all easy ways for William to pick up unsuspecting children to experiment on.
What is even more damning is that these injured children actually stop being “injured” at some point: general neglect, parental neglect, and “unclassified trauma”. What does THAT mean? Unclassified trauma???
What I think it means is that William slowly went from treating injured children to grabbing and sedating any child who was vulnerable with the 1970’s equivalent of the gas mask we see in Help Wanted 2, possibly just outright grabbing a kid who was alone in the case of “unclassified trauma”. Possibly as his Spring Bonnie mascot character… But why?
I don't believe it was to murder them. There has never been any mention of murders or disappearances at Fallfest. The only real notoriety seems to be that in 1983, the Fallfest Carnival burned down (which I believe may have been Mrs. Afton's doing, possibly by accident, based on Clara from Immortal and the Restless + the fire seeming to start from the barn in HW2 when you zoom out of the carousel).
No, what I believe is that William was using these children for something that would haunt (pun intended) the franchise for decades to come: Human Emotion and Reality. We know from the Silver Eyes Novels and the Tales from the Pizzaplex Novels that each iteration of William Afton has a focus on messing with the mental faculties of human beings.
The Silver Eyes has the Sound Illusion Discs, devices built to use sound to mess with the information that the human brain receives. Tales from the Pizzaplex has Nightmare Gas, some kind of gaseous concoction that creates terrifying illusions that alter the appearance of not only one's surroundings, but their own body as well.
Even the recent Steelwool games has a focus on the VR/AR (possibly flipside) reality network, where phones for Special Delivery and VR/AR masks can allow people to see a remnant and a fake reality (or possibly what it truly looks like under the surface).
And while it's might not directly be William's creation - though HW1 DLC seems to have Vanessa conversing with William/Mimic/Glitchtrap/All of the above - it is most certainly a Fazbear creation, and we know they like to crib things from Henry and William's designs (see: stomach hatches and Nightmarionette).
And we know from the original Scotts games that Micheal Afton (and possibly the Crying Child) were forced to endure Nightmare Experiments from William himself. Alright, so William was always some evil asshole who was obsessed with fear and tormenting children?
Well, no. Not the fear part at least. I often think back to the Fredbear suit telling William in a mocking tone about, 'There was more fantasy and fun where I came from!', which reminded me of the Fazbear company slogan: 'Where fantasy and fun, come to life!'
I do think that William as a serial killer wanted to bring the fantasy aspect to life, but William the performer? Someone who wanted his family and friends to thrive in the business world? I believe that William Afton was using these children - injured and not - as a means of trying to figure out how to artificially create happiness. If he could harness Fun and make it so that every child was a return, then he would conquer the entertainment industry.
Insane? Absolutely. In character? Probably!
William Afton likely had some inspiration of Diary of a Yogi - which I mentioned in part 2 of the theory - and could have believed in the concept of actual 'life-force', which means that emotion (Fun and later Fear... or Agony) was a manipulatable source he could access.
It's even possible that while the above - him wanting to pull a Monster Inc on Fun to build up the Fazbear business - isn't completely correct... I do think it's true that he would use these "injured" children to study life-force in order to bring back the Crying Child.
The same child that died in the same year of Fallfest 1983, the same year that the Carnival Burned down, just like Clara burned down Vlad's house. The same Carnival that had IT'S ME hidden inside the Barn, almost as if a spirit was gaining strength and wanting to be found... and everything went wrong.
@@ridtom6055 You make alot of interesting points when it comes to the helpy minigames, Williams wife having ties to the carnival, and the 1983 fire. But to think of William being the founder of the 30s is a bit hard for me to wrap my head around because then that means if he moved to hurricane when he was let's say 20, then it makes him 75 in 1985 when the MCI is slated to happen. Which isn't impossible, but it does seem a bit more improbable. I think the theory is good though, I just think there might be more to fallfest than we've been given information on. But I would be delighted to see Mrs. Afton play a role into what happened there
@@AustinTatious02 I don’t think William made the Fallfest in the 30’s, I think Fallfest and Freddy were already a thing before William showed up from the UK in the 70’s.
Just clarifying that I think he married into his Wife’s business of running the festival, possibly all starting as a carnival nurse/mascot designer
@@ridtom6055 ohhhh got you that makes more sense
Enjoyed the video
I'm so glad to hear that!
