Shadow Freddy

I’m very new to the lore, so big apologies if I sound stupid, but why the hell does Fazbear Entertainment need so many variants of their animatronics?? It makes sense with stuff like the toys because they’re kid-ified redesigns of the original cast, but I’m talking about stuff like Fredbear and Freddy, Freddy Fazbear’s pizza was opened not too long after Fredbear's Family Diner and the two were operating at the same time? Why do they need to different versions of what is essentially the same character? Wouldn’t it just confuse kids about if Freddy is different than Fredbear? And on top of that, why do they need some random recolors of them? Like seriously, there’s Fredbear, Freddy, Golden Freddy and Shadow Freddy, is there any reason for this many versions? Especially with Shadow Freddy, why do they seriously need a creepy purple version of him? Are they trying deliberately to scare away the kids? This would be even worse if Shadow Bonnie actually exists in-universe

Incase you didn't see it during the anniversary

He may be done but there's so much more I need to do. I feel like giving up...

Hi I am Icanfigureoutaname and I make Paranoid Theories.

So about the Purple guy killing before The bite of 83 being wrong but I think it is right (for the theory only)

So I may be wrong but, it may not be a kid and just an adult, after Willam saw the weakness of his own child he decide to k*ll children instead as it would be easier to hide b*ody and is easily more likely to trust in strangers, shadow Freddy can be a young man or woman that he k*lled and then st*ffed in one of the Fredbear animations trying to make the head of b*dy fit so no one would be suspicious, but I guess he wasn't to good at hiding it, so he had to change the new victims ages to be easier to hide after he made the deed.

But this is just me being paranoid so yea, don't take this too seriously but remember that's just a theory a Paranoid Theory! (Thanks for reading)!

So, as we all know, “Follow Me” is a very important part of the lore. Now, this is me spitballing off of an idea I had doing dishes, but what if we went about it wrong? Ever since I think about 2017, we’ve (or some part of the community has) believed that Crying Child [Henceforth ‘CC’] is Shadow Freddy, as some form of spirit. Now while this does have some credibility, maybe we’ve thought about it wrong? What if it’s not CC, but how the AI perceived William. Now this does sound crazy, as Williams always had the Spring Bonnie suit. I know that. However, if that was the case then why would the spirits leave if William wore the spring Bonnie suit? They clearly know he wears it within the final FNAF 3 mini game, and for the sake of the “theory” we’re gonna rule out that they see him put on the suit, thus shattering any doubt they would have had. I propose that William, in some form or fashion, managed to create some glitch within the AI system to create a purple, his signature coulor, bear to control and study the AI? I mean if they don’t realize he’s there he can study them. We know that he, in some form, understands that the spirits possessed the suits. He needed a way to get close, but he couldn’t. His solution? Something the robots wouldn’t trust. We know that, in FNAF 1, the robots see you as a robot endoskeleton without a suit. Maybe William tampered with them and made them perceive him as a robot?

This all sounded a lot better in my head, and again this is literally a shower thought I had just now, and it’s got more holes than Swiss cheese, I know. If anything, it’s something to laugh at.

Took me a bit

I predict that William will be a back as Springtrap but he won’t be alone. The first movie had a lot of similarities with The Silver Eyes so I think the second movie will share similarities with The Twisted Ones, so Springtrap is the main antagonist and is backed by a team of other animatronics (though the stakes will be higher this time since the Toy animatronics are there too). So who will the other animatronics be I predict they will be the spare animatronics possessed by the people who were stuffed in them. This actually makes sense even from a logical situation, Afton has been springlocked and lost all of his minions and there conveniently are 3 souls freshly possessing animatronics, their confused, probably scared, and probably wanting revenge, perfect targets for manipulation. Though I think Max/Shadow Freddy will probably end up siding with the protagonists in the end.

The classic animatronics will be back as well now withered and no longer threats since they have no reason to be aggressive towards the main characters anymore. This is also similar to the Twisted Ones, like the Twisted Ones they would also probably have some sort of fight scene with the villains. Because of their role in the story they’d probably show up towards the 3 act.

The movie will probably end with a fire.

So what do you think?

(Yeah, this is a stylized version.)

AND!

A NEW AU!

“The demented Animatronics”.

Each of them will have phobias incorporated into them, and the story would be…

”Gregory escapes the pizzaplex, and saw everything. The scrapped foxy and bonnie, the originals, EVERYTHING. He returns to his house after a few years, but starts witnessing hallucinations of his favorite (and least favorite) animatronics.”

Alright! So, you may give me suggestions in the comments and whatnot, might add em :D

Hey thanks for sticking around, have a picture of my cat and dog on my bed! :)

I think that they may be either springlock victims or agony-although from what I do not know. Perhaps them being springlocked employees is true-after all, we are told that there were multiple simultaneous springlock suit failures, but...the shadow animatronics aren't physical beings. Perhaps the agony that came from their deaths reformed to create Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie, or perhaps it was one of Afton's experiments. But this isn't about my theories. It's about yours. Go on, my children, and dazzle me!
