FNAF 4 - WHO Put the Crying Child BACK TOGETHER (FNAF Theory) 

Pretty much lol

Charlie is a troll.

Became your fears.

Shes 3 she doesnt understand 😭

@@Valentinothepissbabyboi true lmao.

I'm glad it does :D

@@IDsFantasy no it was his dad speaking to him I think

​​@@IDsFantasy In Sister Location the Fredbear plush is revealed to have a speaker in it and the FNAF 4 house map is also there the only person could be William Afton because he used the underground storage space to store the Funtime animatronics.

​@@trhben what does the storage of the animatronics have to do with anything

@@dragonslayeralex3316Well it's revealed that FNaF 4's animatronics were worked on by William Afton to torture the Crying Child in his last days.

Yeahhhh o7

Crying Child: *goes to heaven* The Puppet: DID I SAY DO TO THE LIGHT?!

She's just a sad kid she doesn't know!! 😢

Lol

Puppet: "you ARE fredbear now"

@@MariaMartinez-rn5fzcrying child: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO *crying sound intensifies*”

@@That_0ne_Anti-zoo Puppet: "Your gonna like that you're fredbear since it's too late to switch your animatronic now."

I think he is as well, but with the darker yellow text throughout the rest of the game

@@IDsFantasy yeah, good point

@@IDsFantasy yes but later on there is one mini game in Pizza sim. that we play as William but he’s not purple but instead he’s the same colored yellow as within that text. So actually it is William talking to his son, telling him he will put him into or turn him into an animatronic (as seen in some of the books, and the fact that some of his remnant is in golden Freddy) ^w^

​@@phantasmicjenny8829 different house

@@ender01o66 then who’s house is it? Also we know that the “person” that’s sitting in the chair in the “living room most likely” I Mitchell because of the Sister Location (at the end of each night he goes home a watches tv) so if that’s not the same house, then who is it?

Pfft

Scott schizophrenic confirmed?

Aka scotts house

⁠​⁠@@boiissus2843Scottzophrenia

Its easy to find out

Neat!

Nice theory

Older comment so sorry, but this is something I was thinking about recently because it adds a potentially depressing new layer to FNAF3’s minigames, like CC thought his dad would be able to help his friends without realizing he’s the reason they’re dead.

@@madamplatypus313 i kinda implied that the PG Death Shadow Freddy is Cassidy, not Evan/CC

Pfft dang lol

Lol 😂

Matpat:I-....the lore makes sense...i shouldn't argue if it makes sense...

Brutal

I love how y'all are believing a 30 second video over a guy who spent over a decade studying this lore. Just throwing it out there. Not a bad theory though.

Yeahhh pretty much o7

I got serious Omori flashbacks...

Omori flashback

*chuckles in Omori*

OMORI FANS ASSEMBLE!

It's a fun time lol

Remember when there were the Purple and Pink Guy (from the FANF 2 minigames) as separate entities?

That doesn’t easily happen in game development, scott would have hex codes memorised for each character

@@fletcher2421that argument doesn’t work when scott literally has done the same thing with pink and purple guy.

@@TreJohnson03 those are completely different sprites in different minigames

Wow.

Ah, I see XD

Oh ok

💀💀

Your pfp made me read it in my head with Aoyama’s voice 😂😂

Congratulations you made matpat waste years of his life

I think William is talking through the plush in the rest of the game, but I don't think it's him in this particular instance. To me it seems more likely he's the one manipulating CC into being scared of the restaurant so he doesn't end up spilling whatever he saw. If the text color were the same, I'd think it was William, but as it stands, I think "put back together" is just referring to the whole spirit-animatronic thing in both instances. I'm not opposed though. Either way I think the plushies are representative lol Thank you for commenting!

@@IDsFantasy now its just up to finding who said it now lol

Who tf is Liz

But doesn't he start thr monologue saying; "Father, its me, Michael..."

@@_just_daniel_ hes talking about elizabeth

Could be parallels potentially!

Yep! And even then, green could be the Puppet's rather than Charlie's speech :D

I'm glad I could point it out! I might elaborate more on it in the future. Thank you!

I've heard that theory, but to me it makes more sense for William to be the speaker with the darker yellow text given that seems to come from the plush itself and there's the walkie talk by the plush in Sister Location. Plus there isn't much evidence that CC got turned into a robot kid as of FNAF 4, and I think if he was in Security Breach, it's not the same robot from way back when with how similar Gregory's silhouette is to one of the missing people on the newspaper Thank you for commenting :D

@@IDsFantasy Don’t know if you’ll see this, but I just thought of this while reading your comment. What if William is both voices for the golden Freddy/ Fredbear plush? William would likely change his voice when speaking through the plush so his son wouldn’t know his dad was talking to him. This allows for William to have a different text when he talks about putting the crying child back together, since he would likely be there talking to his son and not using the plush. A little parallel to this would be the story “The Real Jake” from Fazbear Frights #6. I believe Jakes dad changed his voice when taking through plush, allowing his son to differentiate the plush voice from his dad’s voice. Just a little thought.

There’s a also a Fred bear plush speaker in fang sister location

Yeah XD

i think its safe to assume that with the damage done to his head, he would have had to not been in a coma for too long, before dying from blood loss and/or brain damage. but i do think it would help if there was a clue or something on how long a soul can be left before being able to be possesses, as thats a big factor too.

@@contorts He was in hospital with an IV drip as shown by the FNaF 4 easter egg, so I don't think blood loss would have been his direct cause of death. He could potentially have suffered irreversible brain damage leading to his permanent comatosed state. Given Michael had a chance to say sorry before the flatline is heard, it leads me to believe his plug was pulled once recovery was deemed impossible.

@@Omentallic i forgot to consider the IV, pills, and flowers. so your probably right on eliminating blood loss as a factor. so most likely he died from the severe damage done to his head.

Yep!

Yeah, that's what I've heard as well. I think it's William during the rest of the game based on the Fredbear plush with a walkie talkie in SL, but Charlie in this scene with the difference in text color :D

Im pretty sure it’s William talking to him before he died in the hospital at the end of his coma

​@@EvaTheFennecFox I agree. I think CC is the first death so this being the spark to make William the killer he became really makes a lot of sense for why he was even putting the bodies in suits to begin with. Like, he could've hid them anywhere else and throughout the games (at least what we can see from him) he isn't afraid and infact seems to know exactly how they work and what he is doing.

​@@cpt.bigbrain5954I agree :)

@@IDsFantasyI don’t think it’s Charlie because Charlie would’ve still been alive at this point, and she didn’t die until a little bit after CC’s death.

Grey is established to be Mike's dialogue color, and I'm not sure why his friends would be there

That's cute!

@@IDsFantasy it's pretty old but it still holds up I'd say I found a Playlist should be one of the episodes it was a series ru-vid.com/group/PLF44ulWkYPOMbmet3EenPtn6PgzRRCRKc

For anyone curious it's called springaling and I can only describe it as a sitcom about springtrap being trapped in fazbear frights with Charlie/phantom puppet?

Since there are a few characters who share text colors in the game like you said, I don't take that too seriously. To me what seems important is that the text color is different than the rest of the times the plush seems to speak. I don't really see how she would be able to put CC back together and all 😅

@@IDsFantasy I think the kids with colored masks in hapiest day represent the kids from fnaf 4 who did say they will come but did not, connecting each one to another the pigtails girl would be the orenge mask kid who is actually the sits the closest to the main table with mci and perhaps crying child as the happiest day is perhaps representing the fnaf 4 birthday, in fnaf world we are setting up clock which represents the fnaf 3 minigames so that we could put cc back togather, so happiest day has confections to the phrase, it is possible that she could have helped set up the hapiest day for cc

​​@@IDsFantasy Ah wow I totally forgot they shared the same color id, but I never noticed or come across anyone point out that 2 characters that are for sure different(green shirt kids) share the same dialogue color. Two people can have the same voice, but one person having two voices does seem like the one thing we can say for sure. That really changes a lot. Ooooo I'm guessing ur theory springtime is that the FNAF 4 kids maybe the FNAF 3 happiest day party table kids. I dunno about pigtail girl specifically setting up happiest day, as the only connection is a shared dialogue color, which multiple characters can have. However we for sure know the toys did help out though, and they may be the save them kids, who maybe the FNAF 4 kids like suspicious similarities such as balloon kid resembling bb, and a girl is playing with toy animatronics. The party may be bv's as well, as it takes place in a layout of fredbear's but backwards, and the logbook faded text says "the party was for you" to presumably the altered text who may be bite victim.

@@gdeveloper3309 yeah. I actually thought about something even more, what if the table kids possessed the animatronics we play in mini games? The color of kids cloths from the happiest day match the color of clothes of kids from different minigames. Which may help connect which kids possessed who, this actually would connect green crocodile mask kid with golden freddy… which kinda matches with the books where the revengeful spirit wears a green crocodile mask. This is all just a theory of course

She really do? I mean, she tells us? But I'm pretty sure that the animatronics started to be possesed when William killed Charlotte or when Crying Child died so that was about 1983, I think that crying Child was the first kid to posses an animatronic

Thank you! I'm glad you like it :D

I don't think so, especially with this scene being so important. That would be funny though

Thanks! Will do

I think it's William during the darker yellow portions where the plush is being more manipulative, but the color change to light yellow and the more soothing dialogue make me think that the light yellow is someone else, and since Charlie is shown to have to ability, it makes sense to me for it to be her :D Thank you! I will do my best to keep it up :D

Thank you! To be fair, I've been doing this for a much shorter time than MatPat so I'm not surprised I don't get as much attention, but I'm glad you enjoy my content!

Why would he call himself his son's friend? I think he's more likely the dark yellow text

Thank you!

I see where you're coming from and somewhat agree, but the thing is to me it makes much more sense if William is the dark yellow throughout the rest of the game based on the plush having a walkie talkie in SL, and I don't see why the text color would change to a light yellow if it's still William

I think William is the one speaking during the rest of the game, so with the change in text color, I think it's a change in speaker, but that's a neat interpretation as well

There are actually two other characters who share a text color (green), so I personally don't think it's her

Yep

That's an neat idea. My thought was that it came from Mike's experience in FNAF 1 where Foxy does get more aggressive as the nights go on, but that could possibly play a role as well with how other parts of Mike's memories make there way into the nights. Thank you for commenting!

@@IDsFantasy oh that could play a role. Most definitely. I mean FNAF 4 is time-stamped before FNAF 1 I think so that makes perfect sense

Yeah, the mini games are definitely 83. They do seem to be flashbacks being had post-FNAF 1 thought what with the animatronics having similar designs and behavior and Phone Guy's Night 1 call being in the ambiance. There's probably a variety of factors going into things tbh XD

Yep lol

Yeah. The reason I don't think it's her in this scene is there are two other characters who share a text color

Thank you! I do think Cassidy is in Golden Freddy, but since both The Silver Eyes and Fazbear Frights have her death in 1985, I don't think she would be at play as of the time this happens, but eventually she and CC would both be in Golden Freddy I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you for commenting :D

​@@IDsFantasy that must have been akward.

Possibly, though given the way William in the novel trilogy acts and the general way he's characterized, I find it likely he's more selfish than that Thank you for commenting :D

To be fair, William tries to kill Micheal several times and even knows it's him in FNAF 6. If gregbot were to be true, burn trap tried to kill bv as well. Springtrap probably didn't have much to do with freeing the spirits, but i think you may be talking about shadow bonnie. Since William was alive in FNAF 2, and shadow Bonnie was present as well, it follows that they are separate entities. As well Mike, the most likely candidate for FNAF 3 guard, did most of setting up happiest day. Williams character still is very evil, even later on in the franchise, and never even shows remorse. I probably think william probably doesn't have any remorse.

As well, William in the novels and faz frights, most likely doesn't have bite victim as a child, making his motivation probably not bringing his dead son back to life.

Yep

XD

I genuinely believe that Golden Freddy is possessed by both so

I'm glad it does! Tbh I would believe the speaker to be William if not for the change in text color. Plus there isn't much to indicate William would have that skill himself. Why not do that with Elizabeth in that case after all, you know? Though a quick glance at my Security Breach theories will show I definitely enjoy robot kids/people, so I do think stuff like that is involved later down the line lol

@@IDsFantasy *Warning I have written a lot* *Relevant* 1. I've actually been trying to place as much evidence as possible into a single cohesive story. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself, but I understood the color change as William normally using a speaker in a nanny cam/stuffed toy, and then the final scene being him in person, next to the crying child's bed. The wording works for both, if somewhat more for the Puppet. *Irelevant* 2. Also, in the hopes of this getting featured in a video or short, I'd like to point something out that I don't think anyone else had mentioned before. The older brother's skin darkens slightly between his first and last scenes, and his eyes start glowing. Just like Michael from Sister Location. Also, two out of three of his friends have glowing eyes. I interpreted this as William's motive. Just like Henry with Charlie, something happened and William put the older brother back together. The timeline I'm writing includes testing on others before using his kid, keeping his wife "silent" when she finds out (Ballora), and wishing for his family to be immortal. I interpreted him as loving his family, but going to far. Okay, so there's a little, nay, a lot of creative interpretation, but a man who was driven to murder out of loss, then attempted to rectify his sins (fnaf 3 cutscenes), leading to his death, haunted by his guilty murders, regretting them but would do it a thousand times over to bring his children back to him. That sounds better to me than "unknown motive" and it explains his fear of the ghosts. Sorry for rambling. Edit: I'm gonna keep rambling. I'm listing somewhere close to 6 to 8 theories that line up with what you said and fit like puzzle pieces. 3. As for the robot children, the books have Charlie, but the games have Michael, Gregory, and possibly Vanessa/Vanny, if you interpret the "reunion" ending that way. I thought that William knew how to make a realistic masculine robot, with all the normal human features that we don't normally think robots can do, but he was stumped on those features for a girl, explaining why Baby wasn't replaced by the time S.L happened, or the older brother didn die related to the animatronics at all, so he could be reborn in a body meant for him. 3.5 As writing this, I realized that Fazgoo could have been a test of that "biological features" sort of thing. Yes, my timeline can interpret the non-novel books finally! 4. I also thought the crying child was Cassidy, despite the feminine name clashing with the child's pronoun used by the brother being "he," but that's really the only person who could be the soul in G. Freddy. 4.5 Again, I just realized, fnaf 4, when the crying child saw his dad placing a suit on what was presumed to be another employee, and when he was locked in the closet, there was a brown tuft of what looked like hair. Could that be Cassidy? 4.5.5 *WAIT!* Her death would mean he still has a motive. He is trying to see if he can transport a soul from one body to another! He is trying to free Elizabeth, give her a proper body, the child version of Vanessa! 5. Vanessa being a robot would explain why William hacked her as Glitchtrap as well. I thought that he could slightly reprogram the older brother, who I think is Michael, to be mean to the crying child. He could have done the same thing to her. But that leaves the final tape in the V.R. game. Unless someone else helped her with the tapes, and she made that last one to keep suspicion off of her while she figured out how to get rid of her old partner. Glitchtrap could also leave a sort of copy to stay with the tapes for whoever finds them, but the copy is literally just him waving. 6. Speaking of getting rid of her partner, while I am yet to read the A.R. game's emails, having her use Glitchtrap to release a bunch of animatronics to hunt down and kill all who were involved with the V.R. game would explain why the A.R. game exists at all, and it would kill that partner I mentioned before. 6.5 just for fun, let's solve Mangle's gender. Mangle is a dog. Other than Ennard, no robot has more than one soul in it. I think. Ennard was made to carry multiple souls out of S.L. at the same time, so one murder per robot. Mangle can split in two in the V.R. game. Ennard, with more than one soul, also does this. They removed Baby, so to split, a robot would need 2+ souls. This is not solid evidence, as Mangle does it in the V.R. Title only, a game within a game where someone could've simply said "that looks like a fun challenge," but it is the only real evidence. Two bodies needs two souls. Two souls, one death. The dog was pregnant with puppies, explaining how it could spit in two. It also explains why in fnaf 2, Mangle could be in your room and not kill you. The puppies don't want revenge, so they don't want to kill. The mother has to take control to attack. Again, I'm sorry for rambling.

XD nice lol Yeah, I don't think Charlie is literally possessing the plush, since the plush in the room in SL hints more to William being the reason behind it's weird behavior, but it makes sense that the lighter yellow would be someone who has the capability to link souls to animatronics. It's kinda funny how things can come full circle lol

There are a couple reused colors for other characters, but I think it's the fact that it's different than the original plush that's significant in this instance

Yep lol

Interesting

Ooooo yeah!

Ayyyy, nice!

Thanks XD

@@IDsFantasy genuine

o7

I'm glad :D

More or less yeah, but there's something else to it as well. In Fazbear Frights, there's a character who works at the FNAF 3 location who isn't Mike, and when he's brought to the location, he starts having hallucinations of his past. My theory is that Remnant can be twisted to make stuff like that happen since Remnant is often linked to memories Thank you :D

Wa?!

GASP

Do you want to know what just occurred to me!

William Afton is Thanos! It’s the grape family reunion!

Yeah XD

@@IDsFantasy XD

Thank you! I'm glad my content helps

I guess, but while I agree the dark yellow is William, that would make the color change pretty pointless. Why bother showing a change in voice color it's the same voice, when every other time there's a color change, it's because someone new is speaking, you know?

Where does Henry say it? And technically Mike also says it in SL. I think the phrase is just used to connect what's being done tbh There isn't any yellow text that appears when Baby is announced in FNAF World, so I'm not sure what you're talking about? And the yellow text that does say the line in World doesn't really fit to be William. Not to mention William makes much more sense as the dark yellow in FNAF 4 than the light yellow, so I'd be surprised if it was him. I could maybe see Henry, but not William

My question is why he would call himself CC's friend and who the dark yellow would be

🤝 (If you saw the previous comment, I got people's usernames mixed up since they're really similar, sorry about that XD)

@@IDsFantasy (it’s alright it happens lol.) Also but the unanswered question is why did Charlotte help the crying child and promised to put him back together?

Probably the same reason as for the other kids as implied by Henry. She wants to help

@@IDsFantasy yeah that would make a lot of sense since it is in her nature to help the unfortunate. Or it could be that Charlotte and the crying child probably had a good relationship with each other when they were alive.

I somewhat agree, though to me it makes more sense for him to be the dark yellow speaker, as such leaving the light yellow open to be Charlie :D

XD

The issue is, to me, William makes much more sense as the dark yellow text throughout the rest of the game

​@@IDsFantasy but why would all the animatronics be there, if the MCI happened in 1985, and the Bite happened in 1983..?

No problem!

Very possibly lol

@@IDsFantasy Charlie and Michael are my two favorite characters in FNAF. I always thought Charlie had the most tragic backstory being bullied locked out in the cold dark rain, and then getting murdered by someone she thought she could trust I can't just help feeling so bad for her. Meanwhile Michael has one of the greatest redemption arcs of all time, starting off as a bully tormenting his little brother to trying to right his father's wrongs, and being the brother to Gregory that he should have been to Crying Child if he is Glamrock Freddy.

Absolutely valid. They're some of my favorites as well. Their stories are engaging and it's just so cool!

@@IDsFantasy who do you think set the FNAF 3 fire? Some say it was Michael, some say it was Henry, some say it was Charlotte, and some say it was William himself.

I think it was Michael given that Springtrap/the FNAF 3 location shows up in Sister Location after Michael's speech

Thank you!!!

Yep

Thank you :D

Yep. I think that's what's going on with the dark yellow text, not the light yellow

Fair XD

Ok lol

XD thanks

I think I may have solved the answer to what’s the point of the FNAF Survival Logbook?… if anyone else is asking? Red Ink/penmanship - Mike/Michael Faded Text - Charlie/Charlotte/future Marionette secretly Hided Text Responses - Cassidy Afton/C.C. AKA “Crying Child”/Spirit of Golden Freddy/Fredbear The Conversation happening in the Logbook isn’t between C.C. and Cassidy? ITS BETWEEN CHARLOTTE {pre-Marionette} AND THE CRYING CHILD {aka CASSIDY AFTON}!?!

Pfft yep

Hah yeahhhh poor kid

I remember MatPat suggesting that, but my issue at that point is why would the text color change since William seems to be the one speaking throughout the rest of the game, and how would he get to Golden Freddy without outside help because his body was in the hospital based on other hints in FNAF 4?

Thanks for watching lol

I'm glad!

Exactly

Thank you!!!

Valid lol

Neat!

Yep. I think that's the dark yellow text

Nice!

Thank you!

I think William makes more sense as the dark yellow. It would be a bit weird if he called himself his son's friend lol As for similarity to Mike, Mike's is grey so I'm not sure what you're talking about

@@IDsFantasy weird... last time i saw it it was kind of gold-ish, may have misremembered that part

The animatronic itself? It wouldn't be possessed at this point in time. If anything, I think nightmare Fredbear got the line due to this event

Yep!

Pfft

o7

Meh, no real effort was ever shown from William to do this and in the books he is a terrible father.

@@MimDe yeahbut that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his kids.he’s just a bad person at heart but still loves em(kinda)

@@koolbrayden21 He literally tries to kill Michael in FNAF 6, knowing it was him. Not to mention that he sent him to SL to a place full of robots created to kill.

@@MimDehe blamed micheal for the death of the crying child and resented him.plus he’s a phycopath so murder isn’t big to him
