  • There are many forms of evil in the FNAF series, but how exactly are they connected? Nightmarionne and Nightmare have a lot of similarities, the shadow animatronics are still a huge mystery and recent stories in the book series' give us insight on William Afton's evil, manifested.

    I love how this explanation would also be a callback to the fact that Mightmarionne's mask fits a bit strangely over it's bulky head; It's simply a mask for this shadowy, tendrilly entity that presents itself as a fearful reflection!

I had a theory post-SB that the reason we didn't see the Afton Amalgamation in SB was because it hadn't formed yet. The Blob would establish contact with Afton (Burntrap Ending), something would happen and the two would merge, resulting in the birth of the Afton Amalgamation, also coincidentally referred to as The Agony!

      2. he did not explained how Stitchwairth was created and how two spirits ended up inside of him. he simply said "Stitch has two spirit so Goldie has two spirits". the thing is, that we got a detailed explanation how two spirits were in it. Doctor Phinias put Simon's head and Fetch's battery on the endoskeleton, Simon and Fetch were already possessed by Jake and Andrew. with "forgetting" this explanation, he can create a good parallel and compression between goldie and stitch.

    The buildings themselves also do a great job at showing how shadows and darkness portray evil and death in the series. In FNaF 1, all the hallways and backgrounds end in a pitch black darkness. The kitchen is represented as a dark void on the camera. In FNaF 2, the entrances for the animatronics are dark voids, symbolizing death. Mechanical parts run up the walls like black tentacles. In FNaF 3, black residue stains the walls and pretty much everything around you. The phantom animatronics are stained with the same residue. And then FNaF 4 has the real portrayals of death, Nightmarionette and Nightmare. Both dark beings who don’t violently jumpscare you like the other animatronics, but instead stare at you with a single frame. Sister Location is littered mechanical lines similar to FNaF 2, along with how dark the entire place is. Many story points are shown by shadows. Such as the dead mechanics. Scott definitely did an amazing job showing the dark evil that lurks in the buildings.

  • @tinaherr3856
    @tinaherr3856 Před rokem +70

    I like this theory. Though, I have a theory of my own about Agony beings. That is, not all (sapient) entities made from it are evil/cause more suffering. It goes all the way back to the original book trilogy, so spoilers! Be warned, it is a long one.
    I believe that Charlie (specifically in the Silver Eyes trilogy) is an Agony being. In the last book, the Fourth Closet, it is revealed by Baby that Charlie isn't a human, but a robot created by Henry. What is interesting is that she isn't possessed by a spirit, like the animitronics. (This, by the way, makes book Afton interested in her in the first place)
    In the big reveal, when Baby is explaining everything to Charlie and taking her on a flashback trip, she says something interesting. (In reference to the first form of Charlie) Baby says that Henry "Cried into it, bled into it, he poured his grief over it".
    Now, that sounds like agony and human suffering if I have ever heard it. And since Charlie isn't possessed by a spirit, this line leads me to believe that she was instead brought to life with Agony.
    What's more, I know that Scott had the idea of Agony in his head when Maki this series. In the first book, the Silver Eyes, Charlie and her friends have an interesting conversation. They talk about memories, emotions lingering after an event.
    *" 'I don't know, sometimes I have little moments where it's like there's something I forgot, something I regret, or that I'm happy about, or something that makes me want to cry, but it's only there for a split second. Then it's gone. Maybe we're all shedding our fear and regret and hope everywhere we go, and we're catching traces of people we've never met.' "*
    Now, emotions having and effect on the environment? That sounds exactly like Agony. Plus, in the epilogue where we are first introduced to Agony, Dr. Phineas Taggart mentions that other emotions gave an effect, though Agony is *much* more powerful.

    I always liked the shadow animatronics. At some point, I realized that their mysteries are not actually supposed to be unraveled but are instead supposed to be up for interpretation.(When I say this, I mean that this is how they are integrated into the series. Idk if Scott literally intended it.)
    My take on it is that they are the imprint of William's malicious nature in what he was doing at the Fnaf 2 location. Shadow Freddy is just a temporary mirage, but Shadow Bonnie is much more permanent, probably because William obviously spent more time fooling around with the Golden Bonnie-animatronic than the Golden Freddy-one. If it is powered through another soul or is a fully independant(which has additional theories in the fanbase, but it is largely irrelevant), Shadow Bonnie decided to take the form of Toy Bonnie because it is closer to what the character would want to be, a happy bunny to play. It stayed there for decades together with the spirits, to the point where it is just as abandoned and tired as them. While not directly shown, the minigame-events of Fnaf 3 also allow this pseudo-entity to rest, as it helped heal the wounds that the murders originally inflicted. It is later temporarily called back to assist in UCN, but it is noticably more passive than before due to no longer being negatively bound, only darkening the room.
    And Special delivery is...eh, idk. Yeah, I apologize, I got nothing with my personal interpretation, I just don't like this "Shadow Remnant"-thing. Though I guess it was sorta unavoidable with remnant being introduced to the games by Pizzeria Simulator, considering the Shadow Animatronics were the closest conceptual things to remnant and agony in the original trilogy.

    Something about Nightmarion, the fact they're black and white unlike the puppet who has some colours like red and blue. My theory on how they exist is just that the crying child saw a prototype of the puppet. The time line checks out pretty well because at this point it's likely Williams already killed Charlotte but Henry hasn't had time to build the full puppet so he may have seen it unpainted or semi painted and that's why it's missing it's colours. It's minor but it could explain how it could be feasible cannon.

    About Nightmarione. I think that Nightmarione is deaths original shape, but she took nightmare's shape(animatronic) because animatronics scared Evan. Also why is nightmarione so simple? In my opinion, that is because it is easier to change shape if your original shape is not that complex. Also. Her name in SB is NIGHTMARE plush, aluding it is Nightmare(animatronic Nightmare not like dream nightmare haha)

    With how you described The Shadow, do you personally believe that it (being a representation of William's evil) was Eleanor herself or was she just another form it took? It never clicked with me that it could manifest into many different forms like you referenced. I always had the hunch The Shadow was only another way of Eleanor disguising herself. If so, then what other book stories do you believe The Shadow was present? Happy 2023 by the way!

    Since agony based entities have been integrated in the fnaf games with nightmarionne and the shadow animatronics, perhaps nightmare is an agony based entity too.
    perhaps he was created when c.c got bitten by fredbear, and instead of possessing fredbear it materialized itself in his dreams, this would also explain why it's a recoloured version of fredbear as it's the source of c.c agony.

    Another thing connecting Nightmarionne and Nightmare is reflection of the Puppet in Pizzeria Simulator. In that game, the Puppet is trapped inside of Lefty, a black bear animatronic. In Fnaf 4, Nightmarionne takes the place of Nightmare, a black bear animatronic. It's not the same relationship between each puppet, but it's still the same general idea of each pair being one and the same.

    I don’t think Nightmarionne is supposed to make sense in the games, or have some kind of rational canon explanation. It fills the spot of death symbolically appearing everywhere in the series. It is simply the opposer to the giver of life. I feel like this outlook on Nightmarionne makes it feel much more obscure and insidious. This isn’t one of William Afton’s strange creations, it’s just death in every corner, every wall, every nook and cranny.

  • @thefnafstory
    @thefnafstory Před rokem +1

    This thing came into my mind and somethings from your last video convinced me that NightMarionne might just be the Games version of the adult Charlie bot from the book trilogy. And shadow Freddy/nightmare and shadow Bonnie are the games version of Eleanor. So if Nightmarionne is nightmare, then he might explain on why he is still around because no matter where William goes, death will always follow him also there lines are almost a clear match.
    Nightmare: the shadow frears me
    NightMarionne: this is a nightmare that you won’t wake from
    Nightmare: I will vomit you back to reveal your horror.
    Nightmarionne: The nightmare is just beginning
    Nightmare: I am here to claim, what is left of you
    Nightmarionne: let’s taste death again and again and again.
    Nightmare: you will not be spared, you will not be saved
    Nightmarionne: this time, Death can not save you
    Nightmare: I am your wickedness, made of flesh
    Nightmarrione: I am the fearful reflection of what you have created
    So yeah I agree that Eleanor shooting black tentacles out of her mouth is a call back to NightMarionne’s tentacles. And this citrate killing people that they bleed black tears out of their eyes. Implieds two things one It proves that William created the shadows in the shadows originated from him because he was part of the stitchwarth until he got pulled out in part six. And two. The tears thing was he meant to tell us that the thing in the The Epilogues is supposed to be a parallel to the puppet. Finally I believe that this video has been telling us that shadow Freddy has been following us everywhere.

  • @zebrolightshow7224
    @zebrolightshow7224 Před rokem +2

    I do have a miner theory of my own that Nightmarionne is less of a manifestation of death, and more of Williams personal demon/sleep paralysis demon. Mainly because of how he speaks about death in UCN
    “Let’s taste death again and again and again.”
    “This time death cannot save you.”
    That last one kind of confirms that Nightmarionne isn’t death since he speaks about death as if it was a separate entity. Also, your point about why it makes sense for William to see Nightmarionne in UCN is also part of my theory. We can assume that William was probably a bit afraid of the puppet, since Charlie’s spirit is in there guiding the other spirits. It would make sense in Williams personal hell for him to see a dark, nightmarish form of the one who caused his first death in fnaf 3. It’s even possible that William could have had nightmares of the puppet before his death. Again, William was probably scared of the puppet because he knew she was “pulling the strings”. Idk, what do you think of my theory?
    Edit: Another line form Nightmarionne to add to my theory
    “I am the fearful reflection of what you have created.”

The demon using William's fear to taunt him sounds funny at the same time scary

  • @mrarkham4476
    @mrarkham4476 Před 10 měsíci

    Shadows are a bit weird but this is what the main case seems to be.
    The Shadows were formed from the missing kids incident and they are left over Agony that took form. Agony is fuled by Negative emotions. Rage, suffering, evil, pain etc. So the Shadows were made from the suffering of the children and they are the Agony of them. As we know Agony is what gives characters power so the Shadows are definitely powerful characters in the verse.
    Another thing to add. Nightmare and Shadow Freddy are the same. Nightmare in UCN says to william "I am your wickedness, made of flesh." This is Nightmare explaining 2 things. As we know Shadow Freddy was formed from Williams misdeeds from the MCI. This also means that Nightmares agony power is fueld by Aftons evil deeds. Nightmare could possibly be the games version of Eleanor. But anyways the Shadows, Nightmare, and Nightmarione are all very mysterious but powerful entities within the lore. And Shadow Freddy in the encyclopedia was hinted to play an important role is the series.

  • @asdadd6304
    @asdadd6304 Před rokem

    I like the idea of Agony being representative of evil, but I’m not sure if Nightmarionne is pure agony/ evil death entity. The shadowy tendrils of Nightmarionne aren’t pure black, but have the signature white stripes of the puppet, and even if that’s flimsy evidence, the wires in Security Breach are the same. It’s my personal belief that Nightmarionne is “the fearful reflection of what you [William Afton] have created”, or the reflection of the puppet made from agony, possibly the combination of Charlie’s last remnant and her remaining agony.

  • @c1tylights782
    @c1tylights782 Před 10 měsíci

    I think Nightmarionne and Nightmare are the same, since death tries to take the most horrifying form possible. In the crying child's case, Fredbear was the thing that he was most afraid of/killed him, so it would make sense for the shadow entity to take Fredbear's form as Nightmare.
    But William Afton wasn't scared of Fredbear, he was scared of the puppet which is why the shadow entity takes the Nightmarionne form.
    This is confirmed by the UCL death voice line: "I am the fearful reflection of what you have created", meaning it's the scarier version of what he created (the puppet).
    Nightmare/Nightmarionne appear on the extra FNAF 4 night, due to the crying child's agony and suffering. It's the regular animatronics the first few nights, because he's scared, but on the 5th, he gets bitten and all his nightmares turn into the thing that bit him. The next night is when the crying child dies, and the shadow entity is death itself coming to pick him up.
    It also explains why Shadow Freddy lured the children in the FNAF 3 minigames to Afton, it was a form of the shadow entity formed by William's evil.

  • @MatteoPicone-yy7pk
    @MatteoPicone-yy7pk Před 6 měsíci

    I have a theory that nightmarionne is an entity made of all the agony of william's victims, this would explain why in ucn he says that he's a fearful rappresentation of his creations, he is the living embodiment of the agony william created, which is also why he resembles the puppet as the spirit possessing the puppet was william first victim.
    Also in the books it's said that agony give life, even if simple to the object containing it, so nightmarionne even if it's entirely made of agony must be related to an object, and it'd clearly his mask.
    I also like to think that when the puppet broke down during the day charlie died, henry scrapped some materials when he was fixing it, and these included his mask,
    that mask would later became alive thanks to the agony contained in it, creating nightmarionne, however it's also important to note that nightmarionne isn't savage like the other agony based entities and seems to be more rational, so Perhaps it started as a smaller entity which grew to his current size gradually as it was assimilating agony.

    With everything being haunted by agony that takes up people’s memories, this could mean that the remnant used to make the animatronics possessed was not made by someone’s soul, but someone’s pain. These animatronics came to life literally by someone’s suffering. It could also be why golden freddy and the puppet are particularly powerful, as the suffered the worst.
    The child that died to the golden freddy was tormented by his brother, forced into the robot, something he feared immensely, and perished with an intense mix of fear and anger, being spiteful to his brother for putting him through so much.
    And we all know how the puppet gets possessed, clutching the body of a young girl that was betrayed by the others and murdered by a twisted and cruel man.
    If this is true, the dead never actually possessed anything, just the pain and suffering they left behind, finding shelter in the objects around it. Micheal was never truly haunted by his brother, but the feelings that he had to him.
    It could also explain why, even after afton’s death, the animatronics were still possessed, as pain if the past never dies off.
    Also having agony hold memories might also be why some of the animatronics would act the way they do.
    I suppose, if anything, this theory can put those at ease that those poor kids are no longer suffering, as they left their torment behind.
