logical error cassie's fnaf spin + timeline stuff

i love her so much thank you @hearts4ggy and @viarayy01-blog for enabling me

also holy shit this is going under a read more. it's like 1300+ words oops

okay okay cassie got into fazco history first, and that was because she was pretty much drowning in the place from a young age. her dad worked there so she was at the daycare all the time, she met all the bots, when she was a little older she was allowed to watch her dad work on repairs in parts and service. the tech fascinated her from a very young age, and sometimes she would even be allowed to take apart scrap parts to see how they work! she's seen everything from wet floor bots to even freddy being fixed! she wasn't really supposed to be back there, but no one was gonna tattle, and she was super respectful of the tools and projects - never broke a thing, never stole anything, never got hurt. (her dad has his own workshop at home for personal projects, so she's had safety precautions around mechanical equipment absolutely drilled into her brain.)

so anyways, she of course cant exactly pin down when her special interest was sparked, but she was pretty young. originally it was just the differences in models over the years - the endos, the types of casing, the pros and cons of fur casing vs plastic vs metal, the variations between the different endoskeletons and how that changed what they could do (she was especially fascinated by just how different these models could wind up - circus baby's pizza world endoskeletons are WILDLY different from any of the others, what's up with that? ohh, those were made by the other co-founder, so all the other ones were mostly made by the other guy? maybe that's why they teamed up..)

while the models and tech stuff was her initial fascination, looking into all this, and especially trying to find knowledge on the elusive springlock suits and how they actually worked (seriously, they only ever made two?? the things she'd do to get ahold of one of those bad boys! even just the blueprints!), she came across article after article about mysterious disappearances around the place. suspected murders. horrific injuries. animatronics acting wrong.

one of the founders being accused of luring away and murdering children in the establishment, and then stuffing their corpses into suits.

what?

so she digs deeper! finds an old series of games by an indie game developer - stark crowthorne? there are eight main games and several spin-offs. (actually, she's played some of these spin-offs. the freddy in space games - aren't there some machines of those in the arcades at the plex? just who is this guy? AND he made flipside? she LOVES flipside!!!) she gets super, super into the fnaf games. some stuff in them lines up with real-life events - the murders, the shutdown of fredbear's, jr's, and pizza world.. and fazbear frights burning down - that all actually happened. the details tend to be either super vague, especially in the first two games, super embellished (surely someone would've noticed and reported a walking corpse, right? how did he even stay alive after that?), or it was just outright fantastical (you expect me to believe there's molten metal that the souls of dead children latched onto? you expect me to believe a dude injected himself with it just to be immortal??)

...but a lot of it seems to be based on real events. and this guy was hired by fazco for other projects, after he had already made these games..... and the more recent disappearances..

she's not quite old enough at that point - nor does she have enough information to piece everything together, but she does have a conspiracy board to put all her thoughts down on. her dad has absolutely listened to her talk about it before, but he was so lost the whole time. which, fair. she was like eleven and explained things poorly and he couldn't even begin know what was going on.

additional things before i move on to the timeline:

the indie developer stark crowthorne made every game, excluding security breach (it and ruin just don't exist).

flipside is what im calling fnaf world. in this world it was originally part of the fnaf series and called fnaf world, but the fans basically ignored it and fazco bought it, renamed it flipside, and slapped their new cutesy rpg on arcade machines.

fazbear frights burnt down BEFORE the games were made

help wanted is different. like, multiple minigames are just gone. have you seen the mobile port? that's what i'm using as my basis for the "official" final game, since the actual full length one was a beta tester version in-universe. unfortunately for me, the last time the wiki for it was updated there was a lot of stuff that we didn't know, so i'll just have to do my best (or buy the game myself, lol)

TIMELINE TIME BABEYYY

okay it's definitely a rough timeline, but

fredbears and circus baby's pizza world were planned to be open at the same time.

pizza world was shut down day one, while fredbear's was still open. elizabeth was the first death.

the bite later happens at fredbear's, on the crying child's birthday in 1983. fredbear's closes shortly after. the crying child was the second death.

jr's was opened at some point, and ran side by side with fredbear's until it closed.

jr's is the fnaf 2 location, and also where the missing children's incident took place.

the suits they were stuffed into originated from fredbear's, and are the same ones as in the fnaf 1 location.

charlie is murdered outside of jr's. this sparks an investigation. william is detained briefly, but let go due to lack of evidence.

jr's closed in 1987 after the second bite. mangle is the one who bit someone, in part due to their programming being really messed up due to their condition. the bite victim survives.

after the place is abandoned, william goes back and dies in the spring bonnie suit. the saferooms are ordered to be sealed in all locations.

a couple years later, the fnaf 1 location - just "freddy fazbear's pizza" opens with the newly repaired and cleaned up old models from fredbear's.

phone guy dies. they are shut down by the health department.

mike gets scooped, ennard is freed, and mike is officially on the path of suffering. this all happens at some point between freddy's being shut down and fazbear frights opening.

nothing else of note (that i can think of) happens prior to fazbear frights, which opens in 2017.

fnaf games begin to come out. all are released the same day as their real life counterparts, offset by three years.

prior only to fnaf 6's release, the events of 6 take place.

the vr title begins to be worked on. jeremy dies, tape girl ???, and vanessa gets glitchtrapped. (she's actually not even old enough to drink at this point. she's like eighteen.)

vr releases on the date of the mobile release.

another leap, pizzaplex opens like five years later in 2028. in that time, vanny makes her suit.

vanessa gets a job at the pizzaplex as the only night a security guard. takes night shifts.

whatever the hell goes down in ggy happens in between the plex opening and security breach. i unfortunately don't know enough about it to pinpoint anything more specific. but cassie's birthday where no one showed up happens during this time.

gregory accidentally frees himself from glitchtrap. that night, the events of security breach take place. the ending achieved is princess quest.

ruin takes place a couple years after, on cassies birthday.

additional info two <3

the crying child is cassidy/the vengeful spirit. they are not separate people.

charlie is the fifth in the missing children's incident. her corpse is the only one found, however it was days later. hence why the kids were still "missing". she wasn't the first killed, but she had a lot of emotion attached to her death, especially since she knew will. so she was the first to latch onto an animatronic. funnily enough.. susie actually was the first.

cassie knew ggy, not gregory :)

[walking-fnaf-encyclopedia]

does logical error interact with circus baby/elizabeth? how does that go? does she learn abount the scoopening?

also michael, both adult and teen, how does she interact with him?

(me asking about michael who wouldve thunk it)

Circus Baby/Elizabeth is!! Something!!!

Well, okay. Cassie doesn't reallyyyy meet them at the same time.. She meets Circus Baby first. They have a little.. chat. Being an already-sentient robot by the time Cassie comes along, she offers some.. advice to Cassie. (funnily enough, this inspired me to write Another Fucking Fic so now I have to try not to spoil )

As for Elizabeth, Cassie meets her shortly before the would-be death of her brother Cassidy. The two don't really become friends (unfortunately), because Cassie's gotten older through her travels. That also means Cassie doesn't get to deck teen Mike for trying to feed his brother to an animatronic 'cause she's older than him now, but it does have a really intense withering glare that does keep Mike and his friends clear of Cassidy. (That and Elizabeth saying she's gonna tell their father if he does anything to Ci on his birthday. They're both puppyguarding Cassidy lol)

That kinda covers her interacting with teen mike, and she doesn't really come across an opportunity to interact with adult Mike, honestly. I don't think she'd be the biggest fan, though. I've joked about Cassie and Mike following similar paths, but really, Mike's reasoning is more selfish. He blames himself for everything and ruins his life over it trying to fix things and get closure. Cassie just wants to make things better with this wild opportunity it got, armed with the immense knowledge from it's long-time spinterest.

[walking-fnaf-encyclopedia]

this is literally all of my au cassies lmao

[walking-fnaf-encyclopedia]

i have ideas for a few things in logical error (how time travel/time itself theoretically works being the biggest spoiler) BUT is anyone interested in details on logical error cassies fazco history special interest.

[walking-fnaf-encyclopedia]

DOES CASSIE TIME TRAVEL WITH THE BALLPIT OR WITH HER MASK?

ALSO WHAT TIME PERIOD DOES SHE TRAVEL TO

IS THE VANNI NETWORK FUNCTIONAL THERE??

(IM SO EXCITED OMGGMGMGM I LOVE HER SO MUCH)

TUMBLR DIDNT NOTFY ME OF UR ASK UEUE

cassie time travels with her mask! her first few times aren't on purpose, there's seemingly a glitch in the "rescue" system that's supposed to keep the user from winding up out of bounds. later she learns to exploit this glitch to travel intentionally!

she travels to multiple different time periods! her first travel winds up with her in 1987 though!

the vanni network is functional there! helpi has an algorithm for detecting walls and such and basically recreates the world around cassie in ar. additionally, helpi can set up ways to open up blocked paths in the ar world, similar to what cassie does in the daycare section! this only matters if there are blocked off areas cassie wants or needs to visit, though :3 I ALSO LOVE LOGICAL ERROR CASSIE SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE LOVES HER AS MUCH AS ME
