I have no idea what I'm doing ever actually

Whether or not William died before or after FNAF 1 has been a topic of hot debate in the FNAF community for a while, but I think there's a lot that people miss when talking about the topic. So if you're interested in a half hour analysis of the evidence and theories, I've got just the video for you!

FNAF Henry and his totally normal partner William Afton

as a writer, it’s very important that you know this: whenever you tell yourself “this will only be one-chapter-long” that is a lie. your brain is lying to you. it won’t, in fact, be just a short one-shot

Considering Burntrap originally was never supposed to move, and the Mimic (as much as we know if) had never attempted another massive attack like he did in Ruin since SOTM (close to 60 years till given more info), do you think Burntrap makes M2 more hostile? Like how it makes FNAF animatronics hostile to see or even hear Dave Diller or Afton in Silver Eyes and Twisted Ones? Cause Bonnie sees Dave one time and they all go crazy, and John mentains his name one time and they're all ready to crack some bones

My personal theory on why Burntrap wasn't supposed to move was because I think he was originally meant to be a more spiritual entity along the lines of Golden Freddy or the White Tiger in SOTM, with the purpose being to hint that William was still at play in a spiritual way, even if his body was badly damaged. That would explain why he'd be not moving and be described as looking like a decayed movie prop you'd see in the corners, since Golden Freddy and White Tiger just sit/stand there menacingly.

I think the reason the Mimic didn't pull anything until Ruin is because MXES was keeping it contained + through Glitchtrap, William was functionally the one in control until Glitchtrap got yeeted, allowing M2 to move in. With the Silver Eyes, the reason the animatronics got hostile was because they were possessed by William's victims, so they have that connection. M2 could have some history with William (seeing as William presumably knew about it and for all we know stuff did happen during that 50-60 year timeframe), but I don't know if it would inspire the same reaction.

It's a neat idea though!

While it's a pretty popular theory that FNAF 1 takes place before William Afton got springlocked, there's a rather interesting piece of evidence from FNAF World of all games that actually implies otherwise!

Would You Love Me If I Was A Box?

Faced with the possibility that their friends are emotionally degrading to a just as simplified state as their physical bodies currently are, Elita and her team are desperate for clues to what's going on and if there's anything they can do to fix things. But unfortunately, not everything can go to plan.

Cybertronian POV of Box AU Oplita

Based on this:

[idsfantasy]

As a note, yes Elita is partially in Optimus's lane here. Partially to make sure she doesn't accidentally block the other lane next to her so people can pass without being nervous about it, partially because she loves him and wants to be close to him. She's got better spacial awareness than human drivers so it's fine 😌

Cybertronian POV of Box AU Oplita

Based on this:

[idsfantasy]

TFP x TFO AU where the Orion Pax Arc happens, and rather than getting his memories reset back to shortly before he was named Prime by the counsel (notably not made an actual Prime by receiving the Matrix, which happened later), Optimus's memories get reset back to when he first got his transformation cog, since that would be a relatively equivalent position of 'not a Prime but associated enough to count' cuz the cog came from one of the Primes.

As such, Orion doesn't know about Megatron dropping him off a cliff or killing Sentinel, though he does know what Sentinel did and that D-16 was VERY upset about it/blamed Orion for them finding out, so Megatron is able to do his whole thing about blaming the war on someone other than himself and convince OP to come with him. Maybe he blames Bee or something like 'oh there's actually a really good reason he was sentenced to sub-level 50 because he was actually an evil mastermind and used the happy, talkativeness as a front'.

Anyway, Orion goes with Megs, but the thing is, even though Orion snuck into the archives and messed around with the files, he doesn't have the decoding/archiving skillset that TFP Orion had, so having Orion decode the Iacon database wouldn't make as much sense. But you know what the Decepticons do need that they spend a lot of time doing on Earth that Orion Pax at the point in time of his memories had spent most of his life doing?

Mining.

So instead of locking Orion in a room and having him guarded there, he tells them that on this new planet, they need energon badly, so for now Orion needs to help in the mines. Conveniently for Megatron, this also means that there will always be other Decepticons present to monitor Orion and make sure he doesn't get into trouble.

Nevermind the fact that the reason Orion got into trouble in the first place was specifically to prove cogless bots (which he no longer is anyway) were capable of more than just mining, and Orion is well aware that something is wrong with his friend. His last memory before waking up with D/Megatron in that cave and fleeing through the groundbridge was D-16 ranting at him just before they got their cogs, and now Megatron's eyes are red. Not to mention, D-16 of all people would know just how much Orion hated being forced to mine, and now here he is, dumping Orion into a mine on an alien planet with no one he knows and no way to contact anyone else.

He wants to trust his friend, but he can tell he's not being told something, and he only gets more suspicious when the Autobots break into the mine (whether to rescue him directly or to get energon and just happen to also find him mining in the process. Soundwave doesn't get the chance to groundbridge Arcee away cuz Orion wasn't cooped up in a room on the Nemesis), and he recognizes Arcee as a fellow former-cogless bot fighting for the Autobots, which he figures wouldn't really make sense. He knows Arcee and she seemed happy to see him and also sad and also not evil? But Megatron shows up and the Autobots have to retreat. Meanwhile Megatron seems really angry and EXTREMELY insistent that Orion just mine, and that that's his role in the Decepticon army.

And that causes something in Orion's conviction to trust his best friend to break. So as soon as he's given the opportunity, Orion does what he does best and sneaks back onto the Nemesis to look for answers, and oh boy does he not like what he finds

Some Box AU world building stuff, there are technically 3 different time measurement systems in use in all the chapters of the fic that different characters are more likely to use.

There's the TFO Cybertronian time system including cycles, days (based on Cybertron's planetary rotation), and seconds, since those are the time units used in the movie, and those are the ones Elita primarily defaults to in the fic since she's been stationed on Cybertron for so long.

The second (though technically first in appearance) is the more commonly used system in the fandom including vorns, joors, groons, kliks, etc. This time measurement system isn't actually from Cybertron in the Box AU, but rather is an intergalactic time measurement standard that Cybertron only started implementing after reconnecting with the wider intergalactic community under Optimus Prime's reign. Optimus and the members of the Ark crew mostly used this system pre-Earth due to traveling through space for as long as they had, where the Cybertronian time measurements wouldn't be as standard. Elita also uses vorn occasionally to stress greater lengths of time, since a vorn is longer than a cycle.

The third is the standard Earth-based time scale, which has some terminology in common with the Cybertronian time scale, including days and seconds, since they have about the same meaning (planetary rotation and brief moment of time), though the time units aren't exactly identical in duration. After having been on Earth for a while, the bots there primarily use Earth-based time units when interacting with humans or when using the terms for the units of time that are shared with the Cybertronian system, and all three systems interchangeably when speaking with other Cybertronians

Not a FNAF related question but I've been wanting to get into the theorizing side of the fandom too and I was wondering how you edit your videos? Specifically how do you make your avatar react, is it all recorded at once or do you record your voice first and then edit it somehow to have the avatar react?

I record the voice and have a bunch of pose/expression PNGs I swap between as necessary

do you think the nightmares were experiments, if so, were they cause of the dittophobia gas or the trilogy illusion disks?

Nightmare hallucination gas experiments that William performed on CC, who then forced them onto Michael through memory share nightmares
