A quick note but I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better after my surgery and recovering at a pretty good pace! Not 100% yet, but definitely on the mend. ^_^
During the Fazbear Civil war of ‘93, Candy Cadet was awarded a Purple Heart and promoted to Glucose General. He spent his retired days in a care facility, telling tales of the horrors of war to children who wanted lemon drops.
Imagine being a child at Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria, seeing Candy Cadet, depositing a quarter, getting some candy, and then it tells you the most disturbing story, then just deactivates.
and then an airhorn as a sweet finisher (I know its not exclusive to candy cadet nor even diegetic to fnaf but I always found it funny that even with the story, the minigame finishes with an airhorn)
And it's never happened to anyone else there so nobody believes you and eventually you're gaslit into thinking you made it all up, but every so often whenever you visit you'd swear you heard him finishing a story to some other kid, only it's not quite the same story you must've made up, so you don't put too much stock in it...
Scott realized how invested people were in solving the lore and decided to prolong it as long as possible. If he tells the story right away, people might be done with it, and he loses his audience. He also is just writing it as he goes..
@@BenjaminBox i think he doesn't want to show the lore because when people see it, they finally realize that the series is poorly written, so scott looses credibility as a writter
@@dopeydoughnut6334 The Silver Eyes was ok as a standalone story. But the sequels to that book on the other hand shows that Scott isn’t a very good writer or really plans ahead (even with Kira still co-writing the sequels with him). Sure, the robot twist was there from the beginning but it wasn’t well executed and really opens a lot of plot holes. Not to mention now human robot theories are everywhere in the fandom and I’m so tired of seeing them.
I will give Candy Cadet this. When he shows up, the atmosphere of the game really takes a turn. Even if it is just for a moment, he does a good job having the player question what exactly is going on in whatever game they are playing.
As much as the mimic might be a lil controversial to say the least, at least with Candy Cadet (and other aspects of ruin) it as an excellent build up to its reveal
If I'm remembering one of the TetraBitGaming Ruin Cut Content videos right, Candy Cadet's story originally would have said the woods were full of dangerous animals, and in an earlier version of the map you would have to pass by the original fnaf 1 gang after Candy Cadet's room. What does this add to the conversation... nothing. Just a fun fact
Actually... that DOES add somethign to the conversation: specifically, it adds that the story being told by Candy Cadet might actually be about Ruin's protag. Similarly, in Pizzaria Simulator you get a story that could be referring to Henry's plan to burn all the animatronics (unknowingly binding their remnant all together into a single form). Perhaps what we should be taking from this is that Candy Cadet is predicting the future by examining stories it knows?
Candy Cadet is representative of FNAF as a whole. A vague mess of ideas that has potential to be a good story but refuses to give any concrete answers, and as a result, we're only left with fan theories that vary so wildly from each other that I wouldn't blame anyone for saying that FNAF doesn't have a story. There's an ancient rule in storytelling call "Show, Don't Tell" that dictates that it's better to show what's going on in your story so the audience can be properly hooked, and doing the opposite, "Tell, Don't Show", isn't going to be nearly as effective since the audience likely won't feel the impact of anything that happens. Candy Cadet however, and by extension FNAF as a whole, take that a few steps backward by opting for a new rule. "Imply, Never Tell". You can't say anything in FNAF is absolute. You can only hint at it otherwise people will get upset. Well, I'd argue that people are already upset by that rule by now. Bendy proved this by opting for that same rule in Ink Machine, and players weren't exactly thrilled. Then Dark Revival came out and went with the "Show, Don't Tell" rule, and everyone was much happier. TLDR; I'm tired of the vagueness of FNAF. I don't want inklings of what could be a story for others to finish writing because Scott is either lazy or too scared to upset anyone. I want a REAL story that means something.
Yeah, the vagueness has really only damaged the franchise. The lore hints are so unclear and open to interpretation that we can't even concretely establish many important events.It's like someone threw a 100 somewhat related loose ends and expected us to tie it up for them. Like you said the games follow the, "Tell, Don't show" policy. And even when it tells, it's never clear about it. It just gets frustrating after some time. Honestly, I would love prequel games of FNAF that go back cover individual stories of fan-favorite characters in detail. That they SHOW the horrific things these characters and people around have gone through.
The issue was only further agrovated when all of the methods to make what little is shown questionable became fixtures. So even the little we did see now can easily just not be real.
I wish that for the 10th anniversary this year they just gave us a short game that definitely clears up the first four games or the core events like the MCI and CC incident. I'm also tired of relying on the books for lore that's not even consistent, it should be available in the games. I have a hard time believing that Into The Pit is going to clear up certain events and the names associated with them. I know Scott didn't expect FNAF to become such a sensation so maybe he didn't really think too much about the lore, but it's been 10 years and we got a crazy amount of games and books, there's no way they don't have a timeline of events figured out, we need SOME answers. I still don't know what Toy Chica missing her beak means and that was one of if not the first direct hint we got that then led to the Dream Theory, but now with all the sci-fi stuff and the scary gas thing they put in nothing makes sense, they over complicated it for the sake of building up mystery while we still don't have a timeline or confirmed names.
My thoughts EXACTLY 👏 !! While I do enjoy theorizing and types of analysis content like this video, FNAF absolutely suffers from a lack of concrete details. I feel like Scott had the right idea intially, but he, and now Steel Wool, seem to either be too afraid to reveal truths about the series, OR (and I feel this is HIGHLY likely) are keeping the status quo because they know that theorizing is a huge part of the appeal to FNAF, and therefore is what will make them the most money. That's how they get away with releasing unfinished games like Security Breach 😑 .
I've been a major supporter of the idea that Henry is much guiltier than the paragon he gets depicted as. He talks about Afton's crimes as if they were something he *allowed to happen.* I like to think that the three stories are, in some way, explanations of just how the murders affected him. The idea that he knew Afton would do it, and that he let him. The idea that Afton had broken in and taken the lives of those he tried to protect. The idea that his efforts to save them only ensured their deaths. Why were they killed at Freddy's? Of course, the security puppet would never let them be taken elsewhere. He had, effectively, locked them in that building with a man who he knew was dangerous. Why did he have the Afton Schematics. How did he get them. *That isn't something you just stumble across, why does he know how they work.*
The fact that he does nothing with William Afton when he become Springtrap instead of bring him to justice make me question his moral. Doesn't help that he doesn't even talk to Michael about his father before PS.
Decillionth! May I have a reward? I want…a Krabby Patty! Candy Cadet: Now I will tell you a story. There was a sponge who lived in a pinnacle under the sea.
I wonder if scotts iffyness on book cannon is him not remembering lore he wrote for games and the books, mixing them together Also realizing scott has no idea how snakes work
Honestly, I’ve always nursed a bit of a grudge against Candy Cadet simply for being yet another non-commital way of delivering us information in a sea of others. I get it, that vaugeness is part of the fun, but there’s a point where there’s too much non-commital information in this franchise. At some point we need something, anything we can hold onto. It’s like we’re building a card tower with a mix of yu-gi-oh, playing, and tarot cards not wanting to fit together really, and we’re not even sure if these are actually playing cards or maybe lego bricks. Imagine if, instead of candy cadet to deliver this information, we got the Player/michael’s notebook, and each night we’d be able to read more entries. Sure, it’s still technically not firm, due to an unreliable narrator, but it’s a far more clear and reliable source than the confusing ramblings of a glorified gumball machine. Not to mention it would give some characterization to a character (Michael or the Player) that desperately needs it. I dunno about you, but that feels like a much more clean and fitting way to deliver the information.
Same. I also hate that he's the main evidence for the Missing Children = Molten Freddy theory, because of the existence of the scrapped Animatronic 01 and just...wanting the Funtimes to be their own thing. I don't think the theory actually holds up, but it's so prevalent because otherwise, you have to acknowledge that the Missing Children are repeatedly brought-up, but don't exist in Pizz Sim.
@@diarawisteria2218 He isn't the main evidence for that. Henry's speech in the Insanity Ending is the main evidence for it, since he is obviously referring to "Follow Me" when he says William "led them there AGAIN" and "overpowered them AGAIN", and then at the end of it, he says he needs to "call them all back, together in one place". He does not pivot from talking about the MCI before saying it. And where could they be? Molten Freddy, the one described as having the most remnant out of everyone present. "Fascinating... what they have become". Oh, and there's also Fourth Closet, coming out after FFPS and showing William literally extracting remnant from a melted amalgamation of the Classics' endoskeletons and then injecting it into Funtime Freddy and giving it life for the first time. He also says repeatedly that they now serve a "greater purpose", an important turn of phrase considering Henry says in FFPS that the MCI are "now set to *new purpose* and used in ways I never thought imaginable." Oh, and Help Wanted shows the endos of the Classics burning in a furnace. Candy Cadet may as well not even be a factor. The virgin Candy Cadet vs. the chad FFPS/Fourth Closet/Help Wanted triple whammy. lol
Tbh for the Ruin story, it could be about mental growth, rather than physical growth from aging. Like, considering that at the end of SB Vanessa escapes Glitchtrap's control, that'd mean there's a pretty huge mental growth on her part between that and HW/Ruin, even in that short of a timespan. But yeah, I think in times like these, we must remember Mr. Hippo's wise words, sometimes a story is just a story. I mean, it does seem to apply perfectly in that context. Anyways, great vid as always, and glad you're feeling better!
The mom could've been the Mxes program, too. It warned Cassie to the best of its ability and tried to stop her, but she still went through with following "Gregory".
5:16 i think its afton yes, by the fact that afton wanted a "family" in silver eyes, he pretty much makes it obvious that the animatronics with children souls are his "family" but in william's mind, the burglar was henry, but the kind man and the burglar are william afton in reality but as i said, william think its henry's fault, so he places the burglar as henry
I’m predicting candy Cadet will probably be in into the pit the game and drop the mimic backstory exposition to Oswald finally killing the Henry Edwin parallel argument. (please)
I predict he'll be there but then we'll get a backstory that's so close to Mimic's AND someone else's that we'll never know who the heck it's about. XD
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 gonna to confirm my mimic and pittrap fusion theory, which is what creates glitch trap and why he has the MCI kids memories in VR 2 but not actually William🥱 (joke or is it)
The kitten story to me matched how our boy william had this snake within him (his desire to murder and experiment) that he couldn’t get rid of, at random one of his children got murked by his snake, which was manifested in his animatronics, it wasn’t literally left open but it was in some senses an eventuality that his machines would murder his children as he warned them but never truly put the snake away to stop this from happening in essence allowing it to happen. In his guilt he put her back together in baby.
Huh, Pizzaria Simulator/UCN Candy Cadet has a different head then the Ruin/Help Wanted 2 Candy Cadet(s), Pizzaria Simulator has only a visor with flashing lights, whereas the other (two?) has the lights around the entire circumference of the head. (Another difference is the lack of those four large obvious screwhead/boltheads)
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Honestly, I think too many theorists take that opinion about too many of the differences between FNAF games (especially Help Wanted 1 forward), but Candy Cadet is the most likely for it to be true. (Though the horror that would flow through the theorist community if none of the differences were redesigns would be facinating.)
Like the Mediocre Melodies, Candy Cadet has definitely earned his place in the fandom as both Meme Fuel and a source of Lore (through implications) but I'm kinda over his cryptic with a twinge of EdgeLord characterization. Although, I was also annoyed when he was used as an Exposition spewer in Ruin and HW2 so maybe I'm just never satisfied, LMAO. That being said, The Woman and The Keys story is one of my favorite things from the franchise and I won't take its impact away from him and I like the Letting Go interpretation you shared with us. I still think it's about Charlie and her naivety blended with determination to Save Them led to more harm being done (but she learned! She grew up in the Afterlife like she didn't get to and learned, at least according to Sire Squawks!) but new ideas and Theories are always welcome. Overall, I just keep Mr. Hippo's gentle Roast of Theorists and Occam's Razor in mind when it comes to him and keep it moving.
Candy Cadet is honestly one of my favourites. I love the design, the goofy voice, and the weirdly dark vague story hints. I remember getting one around when Pizza Sim came out late at night not knowing what he was or did, and being so confused as to what just left that little robot's head.
The Ruin and HW2 stories could have another meaning if you take out the genders; someone being lured into letting a monster out of the basement? Cassie being lured down by the mimic. Someone returning to slay someone who tried to slay them, being tricked into walking right back into their clutches? Could be the HW2 protag, whether you believe it to be Cassie's dad, previous programmer Jeremy, or some other near-victim of something related to Fazbear Entertainment (especially considering the files suggesting that we were supposed to be following voice logs from Vanessa throughout the game). I also heard someone theorize that the Pizza Sim stories are all meant to imply that the five missing children souls are all in Molten Freddy, basically hammering it in that 5 Became 1. Though it does seem a bit weird that you would need three stories to make the same point.
the hw2 one could also be about michael, getting tricked into being scooped in sister location, left with a permanent scar as literal purple guy, then getting lured by henry into the pizza sim location, a LITERAL OVEN
Molten MCI also doesn't make sense chronologically. Because, WHEN William would have made them into the Funtimes ? He destroyed the FNAF 1 Gang. The Toys aren't there and the OG are on stage so it has to be FNAF 1 restaurant. So for the theory to be true, he must have made them into the Funtimes around FNAF 1... But Michael would had already been scooped by now since he was already fired for his "odor" back in FNAF 2. So William couldn't made them into the Funtimes since they already escaped years before.
@@ultimate-phenix I think I always assumed that the bad odor in fnaf1 came from tampering with the animatronics filled with decaying corpses? If not just entirely made up to try and fire Mike legitimately. And as with many things in the series, there's no way to know if the closed Freddy's location that the hand unit mentioned is the Security Puppet Freddy's or the Fnaf1 Freddy's. Also, the theory I heard regarding Molten MCI uses Henry's log from the Insanity ending of Pizza Sim as a way to describe what happened: Afton using "his old tricks" to lure the animatronics off their stage (potentially what the purple Freddy is meant to represent, which makes more sense to me personally than Shadow Freddy luring the animatronics to their doom) so he can dismantle them as close to the hidden room as possible, taking their remnant (in other words, the souls of the MCI kids) and "setting them to new purpose" by using them to power the funtimes. There's no indication that the fnaf 3 mini games all happen in one night, after all, he could've been going back over the course of weeks. Not to mention the more recently found endos in the furnace in Help Wanted alluding to Molten MCI, too. "Are they (the kids?) still aware? I hope not." It's not a perfect explanation, it doesn't explain why the spirits were able to scare Afton into the springlock suit if they were stuck inside the funtimes, but if nothing else I could see that being what Scott was trying to imply at the time of Pizza Sim. And theories don't have to be perfect, y'know? The way the storytelling of this series goes, we're probably never going to know the one definitive answer, so why not just have fun with it?
@@ultimate-phenix I also like NimoClancey's way of viewing it where 1-3 and 4-Pizza Sim are their own separate trilogies, which I'm sure isn't what Scott intended at all, but it alleviates some of the pressure of trying to tie absolutely everything into one another. 😅
@@SpikyEaredPichu96 I still think it doesn't work, not only because of the spirits presence but also because of the Security Logbook. If you don't know, it was released just before FFPS (NotRealName talked about it in her Logbook Chica video) and it's the origin of some of the most accepted theories like Golden Duo, the name of "Cassidy" for the Golden Freddy Spirit or just the idea that Mike Schmidt IS Michael Afton. Well, in this logbook, Mike canonically is responding to a survey made by Faz Ent in order to work for them. He used his nickname "Mike" so we can assume it was around FNAF 1. And he already did some reference to SL like the fact he would prefer money AND ABSOLUTELY NOT Exotic butter. So FNAF 1 Mike was already scooped and even if William destroying the bots can happen between nights... The fact is that we see their remains on the floor every time so no one has repaired them. So, since all of them were in working order during FNAF 1, William could only have destroyed them AFTER Mike's shift; But... In the end... I think you're right. Theories doesn't have to be "perfect". And Scott isn't the best writer so it's possible he really wanted to tell us Molten MCI was canon and just never thought of the inconsistencies on the timeline. He did write the games as it goes and never had a clear plan after all... It's just that I saw so many people being almost dogmatic about Molten MCI that I overreact when the conversation is about it. But yeah, as long as everyone understands that 70% of the "canon" is just the fanon that shouts the loudest, yeah, let's just go with our own interpretation and have fun. I may have been to adamant and I'm sorry about it.
That has to be the most threatening "Candy. Candy. Candy." I have ever heard. Anyway I'm going to pick this guy up and shake him aggressively until he gives me a straight answer. And then fix him up because being ruined for two games in a row seems like a disservice to his goober-ness. The pizza with fries and mozzarella sticks does sound good though, but I'm not paying $50 for that.
I think it's possible that Candy Cadet was made by Fazbear Entertainment to cover up the events of the past by telling stories that are 1:1 opposite versions of the events that actually did happen. For example, in the keys story, instead of it being a women, it's a young child (since the spirits are children, not adults), and the key, or "piece," are split into five, five "pieces." This ends up saving five children, at the expense of one, the Crying Child. When read like this, it seems to be a variation of ShatterVictim. I figured this'd make more sense. As for the HW2 story, it seems to be about Glitchtrap, who was lured Vanny and trapped by the one they're working for. Glitchtrap was said to have only a fraction of their code remaining, so, instead of being a young girl who aged, they'd be a fully grown entity that was stripped down into a small piece. They young boy would be a grown woman, Vanny, who leads Glitchtrap into a trap, as we see in HW2's ending, with the old witch being a young boy, most likely being TOYSNHK, or whoever the Nightmarionne imagery belongs to, who Vanny works for. That's just a barely in-depth example of two of the stories, I figured it'd be a pretty interesting angle to look at.
I haven't watched the video but the title and the tumbnail is very promissing edit: i watched the video and YES candy cadet's stories always felt somehow weird. Like they fit the stories in-game but there was just something either extra or missing. "Is this detail important? Is this just added to make the story sound more real? is this story about this event or the other one?" I kinda felt like he was theory bait to keep fans busy after fnaf 6 until scott figured out where the series should go from there
7:10 One thing to note is that the snake is only said to eat one kitten, with no repetition of the action claimed or implied, only that time passed. Snakes don't eat very frequently, only once every several days, so that one kitten would sustain it for a weak. Plus, the boy is only said to put THE kitten together, being the single one that was eaten.
But that would be even more confusing. It would mean it follows the same 5 becomes 1 format but one becomes one. I think more likely it IS the same 5 becomes 1 and that Scott wasn't thinking of how often snakes eat, as it's not a literal snake, it's a metaphorical one.
i dont think Candy Cadet is meant to be taken too literally. I think we're only supposed to take the general idea from it. the Pizza Sim stories are 5 things becoming 1 thing. i think it's referring Molten Freddy. Who is the present day version of the original 5 kids being killed... or at least what's left of them in the present day (present as of Pizza Sim) as the other remnants of the 5 children have since passed on. Molten Freddy being all that's left. The ruin story is about being tricked by a familiar voice. foreshadowing that Gregory... wasn't Gregory. And the Help Wanted 2 story, if generalized, is simply someone who was fooled once, is fooled again with a different tactic. which i think is probably a reference to the fact that help wanted 2 ends with the player character being taken by the AR world... just like what happened to Vanessa in help wanted 1. i think that story is a bit more meta in the fact that we have the potential to do the same mistake we did in the first game with the 2nd game. which of course is doomed to happen anyway cus ruin proves the bad ending is the true ending. i think that's what Candy Cedet's HW2 story is all about. as for the last story... i have no idea XD honestly that one showed up out of left field... but to generalize it... a group of people missing out on something and died because of it... who knows... maybe it's another meta jab at the community XD
By the way candy Cadet story about the the man burying the child in the knock at the door is talking about molten Freddy because one of molten Freddy’s lines is “ knock, knock I’m here” Molten MC as weird as it is most likely true
@@azimuddin1890 that’s the entire plot of sister location William splits the kids into Funtime Freddy Funtime foxy bonbon,ballora with Cassidy creating yendo Michael creates ennard he put 5 things together
@@Sonicmid I mean, I still feel like it’s a stretch in the games. Because we don’t see that happening, we need the Charlotte (Web) novel trilogy to think that. I get that, but still I don’t agree.
With the woman and the 5 keys, I agree with it probably being about charlie, but I wonder if it meant that she could of brought one kid back like baby presumably did for Michael. For the ruin story, it works for Gregory being the mother and Cassie the little boy too The young woman and witch I read as Cassie's dad, if he's hw1 Jeremy- his first escape being with surviving the guillotine slicer but left with a scar but dies the second time
Considering it is about a key to freedom, it could be that she could have brought piece to any one of them if she focussed on it, but she tried helping everyone and only ended up trapping them in the end.
It's cool to see someone taking this angle, rather than the "We SoLvEd FnAf" route, but no hate to those creators either, it's just refreshing to find something different! Thanks for the vids!
10:33 if I recall correctly candy cadet was planed to be a threat in unc as he appeared in the og line up Scott teased tho I can’t find why he was cut or what he would’ve done. 19:25 im sorry wth you can’t just say something like that and expect no back up questions. First off why was a cat on (I assume) your windshield? Was it your cat or a stray, and where you driving threw a flower field in spring to get said windshield covers in pollen? My god I’m so confused and I’d greatly appreciate backstory
I live in the middle of the woods and the tree pollen is atrocious. XD I also have outdoor cats- strays that I've been feeding and homing- and they constantly sleep on my car. I really need to buy a car cover, lol.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 oh I see but do you have a garage you can keep the car in? I imagine that work better then a car cover. But thank you for the explanation
Based on how the kids/animatronics viewed William in the FNAF movie, the first story could be game William’s version of events that he told the kids before they turned on him
I just though of a solution to the key problem 1) save the children 2 create a mold of the exit key 3) exit the room with all the children 4) profit :D
I'm glad your surgery went well and you're recovering okay! I love your content and I always watch your new videos when I see them. My only note, which I hope doesn't come off too nitpicky, is that you say "perchance" when the word is "penchant" - I've noticed it in a couple of videos. "He has a penchant for doing that." Perchance is used more like "Could you do this for me, perchance?"
Anyone else notice that in ruin some worker just decided to re-design candy cadet even thought HE WAS LITTERALLY BURNED 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: in 8 hours, IT GOT A HEART
I was watching this, and I asked myself the silly little question of “How did Ruined Candy Cadet get where he is?” Little did I know this would lead to me realizing that Security Breach shows the vent system FNaF 6 takes place in is BELOW the Pizza Place, a detail I have never thought about at all and I have so many questions but it is past midnight and I am too tired to answer them myself.
LONG ASS COMMENT WARNING: Candy Cadet revels a major problem with Fnaf's story since arguably even fnaf 2s release, but has been getting more and more of a problem since then. It never really gives a direct answer. Think about it, even now, we STILL don't know who did the bite of 87, we STILL don't know the crying child's name, and we STILL don't know what's in the box, and we'll probably never know the definitive answer to any of these questions. All we can really do is try and do Sherlock Holmes level guesswork to try and come up with an answer that MIGHT, keyword MIGHT, be correct. "Oh, well it's PROBABLY mangle", "Well, It MIGHT be Evan", "I mean, MAYBE it's the puppet". We can only really go off with a bunch of maybe's, probably's, and might's. I think the worst has to come from help wanted 2. In the first help wanted, there was "tape girl" who was a basic exposition character to explain the origins of glitchtrap and explains what his deal is while also giving basic story info (I.E how help wanted was a game made to help freddys image, etc) , however, in help wanted 2? No tapes, no explanation, no story info, no dice. A lot of stuff just kind of "happens" in help wanted 2 and your just left their to kind of just "guess" what's even going on. Who where playing as, what the endings mean, what vanny's deal is, not a damn thing. It's a mystery, with no clues to find, or rather, their are a few clues to find, you just need to get the books to find them, and even that is becoming harder to decipher as time goes on. Of course, I'm not saying we need everything spelled out, one of the reasons fnaf got so big was in part due to the mystery of the first game after all, but it just becomes frustrating when if feels like every single plot point has 5-6 cryptic hints that only vaguely gesture towards it, and about 2-3 of them are complete dead ends. Again, it's a mystery, with no clues to find.
CC's name and the Bite of 87 are wholly unimportant. Nothing is lost by leaving those open. The box is not literal, it's a metaphor, emphasis on the "meta". Scott already told us what's inside. The "pieces put together", referring to the pieces of FNAF4's original story we didn't discover at the time. So what are the pieces? The building blocks of Happiest Day, and CC being the one to end it all and free the souls. CC's memories directly tie to FNAF3's minigames, and it is through his memories and actions that Happiest Day happens at all. All hinted at in 4, but revealed in FNAF World. There's also the fact that the older brother is the one having the dreams (most likely originally Michael Schmidt, to tie things back to FNAF1), as hinted at in 4 before it was just revealed to us in the logbook. Though, it's hard to tell what the significance (if any) of these nightmares was originally, before the story changed. Speaking of which, Scott once said the contents of the box changed. Again, it's not a physical thing. It's because SL and FFPS exist, expanding and completely changing the original story, where the room in FNAF4 is now an experiment chamber (doesn't change anything about the events of FNAF4, though, contrary to popular belief), the killer is now William Afton, the brother is Michael Afton, and Happiest Day didn't completely fix the problem. Which is why the digital map layout in FFPS during Henry's final speech looks like a box. It's the end of the original story. All the pieces necessary to end this have finally been brought together. And that's why the box hasn't been brought up since. We're done with it. This is not to say that Scott's not at fault, or that his brand of storytelling isn't a massive headache. lol But I do think this matter is effectively closed at this point. After all, the original box was 100% a product of its time that Scott seems to have regretted doing anyway, according to the interview. It's not gonna solve anything anymore. We could legit just forget it and it won't matter. Scott certainly seems to follow that logic. But as far as its original purpose goes, and keeping in accordance with all the future reveals that came out after the fact, there's pretty much no other explanation than what I have outlined above.
The second story could be about William as the boy, and a metaphor for his research/curiosity/urge to kill. William doesn't want to give up that curiosity, because the secrets it might crack open could be amazing, but he can't bring himself to choose a victim. Ultimately, he just *goes* for it and kills whatever kid he kills. But he feels bad afterwards, and either tries to put the body back where it died at Freddy's (remember that "nothing was ever proven in court" thing from HW1?), and that just keeps happening until he goes through all five victims.
Candy Cadet probably has the mimic 01 programming which makes his ruin funnier because he’s basically exposing himself. Also under glitchMXES mimic is trying to stop mimic His greatest enemy is himself
Further along and a new thought... If Candy Cadet is being programmed with these "Stories" who and why are two Questions you really need to answer before you take his words for anything.
Maybe I’m just projecting or reaching here, but I feel like your most recent FNAF videos have more of a cynical approach. I really noticed it in your “what makes you so special?” Video. Maybe I’m just noticing you being more critical than before, or I’m just hoping someone isn’t taking FNAF seriously like me. I believe Candy Cadet is like one of those pictures everyone is supposed interpret, but nobody is right. He adds fuel to the fire, but that fire is raging uncontrollably and burning down the structure, not providing any light or heat.
Oh no. It's more that I've been on a similar train of thought. The 'What Makes you Special' video was one directly broken off of the Baby script because it was too long, and this one was a follow up to the Ruin stuff I trackled in there. It's less me being more cynical and instead me doing a string of videos with the same topic in mind. XD Though the next one, the Box one, is surprisingly not cynical. It's more of a 'what could've been in the box?' take with me clarifying what I think was actually in the box. Though I am working on another script too, so we'll see which gets done first!
I suspect the FFPS Candy Cadet is a meta reference to Scott's frustrations over trying to reconcile the fragmented lore up to that point. But in Security Breach and its sequels, CC is there to shed light on the events leading up to the game. So in Ruin is tells how Gregory was lured down to the Mimic when it impersonated Vanessa. HW2's Candy Cadet clears up the confusion about who the protagonist is. It's the same exact protagonist from HW1 lol. Vanessa/Vanny had escaped the oven aka the chamber Glitchtrap locked her soul in, then came back and found herself trapped yet again in the mask.
I can kinda draw the conclusion that he’s referring to the plot to pizzeria simulator. The whole plot is gathering all the victims into one place to finally lay them to rest in one mass grave. He’s not telling stories, he’s warning us of our demise.
Tbh, I think the end of the first story is about Henry and the Pizza Sim itself, because he lured everyone to the pizzeria (their coffin), where they become one thing after the burning.
@@Wizardjones69 Tbh, I don't even know what exactly he is. He doesn't seem to be possessed, but how could he get new stories after the burning? He could be under influence of the memories of the dead children on Pizza Sim, but it doesn't make a lot of sense for SB and HW2. I wouldn't be surprised if the next book series presents something that can explain it better, although it definitely wasn't Scott original intent.
NotRealName, not every story has to have significance, y'know? Sometimes, uh... y'know, sometimes, a story's just a story. You try to read into every little thing, and find meaning in everything anyone says, you'll just drive yourself crazy. I had a friend do it once, wasn't pretty.
If anyone remembers Identity V's Melodas Estate Investigation/Stormy Night Surprise event, you'll remember that the characters told stories. I feel like the Candy Cadet stories are like that. They vaguely parallel each of the characters with a fantasy story, but remember: the monstrous bird was the woman telling the story about the girl that got ate by the bird. That's how I take these stories. Especially the Ruin and HW2 stories. Cassie is probably the basement monster, and Vanessa is 100% the witch (we even see the 'witch' get her meal in the PQ4 ending, with Vanny crushing glitchtrap). Also, the kittens might not be kids, but security guards. It's about Henry letting William keep hiring night gaurds, despite knowing that they will die. He lets William hire a guard, the guard dies. Though this may also be about Michael and the Fazbear's Frights guard, as the story of the woman with the keys is an oddly prophetic parallel to Henry burning everything at the end of FNAF 6. But the keys story may likely be about Micheal burning down Fazbear's Frights horror attraction, believing it to be the way to free the kids, only resulting in that not being the means to their freedom and the kids being stuck or free being based on the minigames, not the fire. The story about the man adopting fivr kids is more likely about Charlotte. She kept the dead kids safe after the location closed, but William broke in and destroyed the animatronics. Charlotte probably made molten Freddy or the amalgam.
I've said something like I'm about to say, elsewhere before, probably with more words and more evidence, I'ma try and make this briefer, and possibly less compelling as a result. (spoilers, it wasn't brief) but the tl-dr, would be, To look at Help wanted 2 and ruin's cadet stories, with inclusion of hypnotism. - I personally think and feel like they can be fully locked down, with that one linch pin included Nessie, Fnaf AR - Searches up Compliance and Self-Compliance - Clearly at this time she is still "Reluctant Follower" - Our Previous alias of her. This is the "Growing up" portion of the story, in my opinion, Making Security Breach Vanny the experience woman who was consumed by the witch, and Player Vanessa who tested help wanted 1, the younger version of her. In the Patient logs. Patient 46 is seen in the pizzaplex, many times. Patient 46 is believed to be getting MANIPULATED, by someone, at least, the Techs think that... the like, Sixth? therapist thinks Patient 46 is the one who is MANIPULATING and LURING someone else... And in one of the images presented, is a hard-to-tell image, is that.. bunny ears? BEFORE this. Patient 71 said "she's needed elsewhere now.. thank you" - Convenient. "Dr Rabbit" GGY, Greg / Gregory, making Therapists and counselors disappear. Vanny speaking to Patient 46. "Manipulation and luring" All these, and Cadet's stories for HW2 and Ruin. They all fit together, if the linch pin is Hypnosis. Nessie, under follow of Glitchtrap, Searches up how to make Vanessa more compliant. Learns Hypnosis. Finds Gregory, Somewhere. Hypnotizes him into the Alias "Dr Rabbit" Dr Rabbit, a "doctor" Helps Vanessa battle the witch. "Compartmentalizing" the scar left by Glitchtrap.. Except SIKE- reality is actually the reverse. Patient 46 is actually Manipulating Vanessa into a more vulnerable state, The Oven closes. And Glitchtrap consumes the woman's psyche. "I'm needed elsewhere now" With Vanessa largely defeated, Vanny transfers to the Pizzaplex, And Speaks with Dr Rabbit. Before the events of Security Breach, Both of them are working on projects to bring about Glitchtrap to the physical plane. Personally. I think since Gregory would not yet have had Glitchtrap "embedded magically" in the same way as Vanessa did, I think "Dr Rabbit" has frequent reapplications of hypnosis, new orders from the serial bun... Until one day. Where we add in Ruin's Cadet to the mix. The mimic. Likely, Vanny planned to use the Mimic as the vessel but never got to that point, never got to "be burntrap" the "Lullaby" would be a trigger phrase to re-trance Gregory. The "monster" learns the Lullaby, and sings the lullaby, and the kid hears the lullaby - Emphasis on lullaby, not the woman's voice, which I believe, gives more credibility to it being hypnotism, rather than "oh no, mom is in the basement even though I know she went out for food!" The mimic doesn't understand this, though, Only the Lullaby, And Gregory in a trance, Goes to and opens the door "Trance" being an almost "sleep like" state. And the mimic, Not knowing what this is, Doesn't give any proper orders, nor release him from the trance-state to carry out those suggestions or orders. I personally think, That Gregory follows the mimic for a little while before the trance gets broken forcefully. And Since its broken, and not released, its not effective in recapturing him. Which Is why Vanny actually has to chase us all night as opposed to just for a little bit. And I think the sticky note room, would be "the basement" where the monster was kept - The doors don't open on the other side, and Vanny chases us pretty hard up till those doors. Its possible she hadn't even realized in Security breach, that the Mimic wasn't in the room anymore. hence chasing up till then, and not wanting to "let the monster out" by accident by continuing to follow us. Does any of this ramble make sense? I hope it does but not confident it will. See though that if we linch pin hypnosis into the mix, they all kinda feel like they fall together pretty nicely? It gives an explanation to patient 46 "manipulation" or "Manipulating someone else" It gives an explanation to GGY's alias "Dr Rabbit" It gives an explanation to Gregory (Player) having borderline brainless no clue about Plex operations, yet is somehow in places he shouldn't be able to get to with his level of cluelessness. It gives an explanation for how Nessie uses "Self compliance" and "Compliance in human subjects" It can be connected to the "lullaby" - which induces "sleep" (or trance, a sleep like state), that can also "lure" into doing something, cluelessly. It fits in timeline with patient 46 being seen doing hacker-y things in the pizzaplex, and then, patient 71 later saying she's needed elsewere now and then, later, Patient 46 is reported as "being manipulated and lured somewhere" or instead "is manipulating someone else" and there's "the other person, who is that? are those bunny ears?" Another Possible explanation of GGY's Actions in the book, the "Robotic" like actions, Can be attributed to "Trance" and hypnotized actions, like an almost "autopilot" like action, rather than "actually robotic" Even the "mother goes to get food" can be given a meaning if its hypnotism, with the hideouts Vanny used, Or, with Vanessa 'going to work' during the day as security chief - Either she can be bringing food back to the hideouts, which can be the cabin in the woods, or "bringing home the bacon" so to say, working. It gives a believable way to include "the boy at the mouth of the forest" who would "help" fight the witch, only to instead be what ultimately 'destroys' the woman's chance of fighting back. and, like said, its an excuse with a stereotypical association, that the hypnotized often do not remember the trance-like portion, and sometimes, don't even remember parts of what happened while carrying out the hypnotized orders. - An excuse for why Patient 46, seems to be GGY / Greg / Dr Rabbit, and that seems to be Our Gregory - and why Gregory doesn't act like he knows anything about the Pizzaplex... like.. He almost knows LESS than a regular patron of the plex would know, and somehow is in deeper than any of them would ever be. How Confusing of an existence he is. Cassie knows more about the An excuse for how the mimic and Gregory can encounter each other more than one time, and for the mimic to have been released, and yet, not free as Cassie frees them a second time. As for Who traps them the second time? well. The Ruined plex seems to have started being restored or demolished. And Cassie's Dad (assumed) seems to have gone down to complete PQ4. And seemed to be the one Obsessed with PQ 1 and 2, maybe 3, and the tools to free the Mimic involve the tools he would use, So, Assumed, He or the team with him, trap the mimic, could be before breach, could be after. - Since the way the place looks, looks like it could be either, or - Could imply, both, but 'finishing' after. As for any cadet story prior to Help wanted? Possibly isolated to only pre-breach? Possibly intended to be more vague than solvable? not sure. I think I've thrown my hat at it before too, but can't recall what at this moment.
6:38 This doesn't make sense, the story shows that only 1 cat died and the rest survived (I've been wanting to record this for 2 weeks but I don't understand the message of this story, the only thing I could think of was a connection with TBo83) but it doesn't make much sense either
The second to last story is about venesda I think.. here is a theory .. Vanessa grew up during the original freddies witnessed the murders and knew who it was ..she never said a word grew up became the game tester now older and more confident to try and make amends got put under the glitch trap virus and became vanny. ..she got away from the witch one to get eaten in the end ....but hey that's just a ....mattpatt is gonna sue me
Re: help wanted 2, was Vanessa maybe an original Freddy's kid? She escaped Afton's original spree, but was understandably left with a scar, and then having grown up wanted to face her demons- did William do anything notable that might make her think he was still around? Or did she just hear about how shady FE was and got involved? Either way, the oven door shut on her. Only missing thread is the little boy that lured her
Wait, the "kind man" was worried about "someone breaking into "one of their five homes." Candy cadet is warping the story. The kids' adoption was actually five kidnappings. There weren't five orphanages that housed one orphan each. There were five abductions of children who weren't orphans. The "burgler" was probably somebody who came to free the children. And somewhere in the untold part of the story, the kids were killed and put into suits. The kind man interprets the destruction of the machines as his own children being murdered. And he melts the machines together.
Hey, just a quick hint for the "figurative key" part. The "she" is actually refering to baby, and the "melting the keys to save them" refers to molten freddy. Molten freddy has the souls of 5 victims, and they were convinced to merged based on baby's suggestion that it would make freedom easier.
if you switch the genders around in the monster in the basement story, it sounds like Elizabeth and baby's story. A father tells his daughter not to go into the basement, and the monster lures the daughter into it, and kills her. Baby being such a manipulative character I feel like the monster learning the lullaby could symbolize baby's manipulation.
Candy Cadet is really just bait from the writers to lure in theorists to fill in the gaps of their story. They then pick and choose the ideas the like the most to make canon...if they remember to that is.
Looking back this now knowing Michael was the Crying child Candy Cadet makes a bit more sense The Crying Child considered the 5 main animatronics as his friends, as in people he cared for
Could be because they rebuilt the model, as Candy Cadet only had the flat clickteam ones. Or like a Springtrap/Scraptrap situation where they're supposed to be the same character but they're different looking.
Hmm... What if Vanessa was an attempted victim of Williams, who got away? That would be her escaping the oven, only to come back later as an adult. It's just a small thing. I also have no clue what the time between these ganes is so idk.
now i shall tell you a story. a story of a person who became obsessed with a candy dispenser and its secrets. that person longed to know the dispenser's secrets or if it had any at all, so they broke it until it could no longer perform its task and beat it further. the person finally found all the secrets of the broken candy dispenser, and in turn all the candy turned sour. that person, fed up with the candy dispenser, turned to leave. as a thank you for ending its torment, the candy dispenser gifted the person a crisp five dollar bill that was just five one dollar bills taped together and therefore completely worthless. the person was pleased and moved on to greener pastures, and the candy tasted sweet again.
21:36 I think that story is about the FNAF 6 gang, the family is known as Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, Scraptrap and Lefty. The meal is known as the kids. Their opportunity that they missed as to kill the kids and they missed that bc it was a trap that Henry and Michael set up. And they died due to the fire. So that story is talking about FNAF 6 ending.
I've always interpreted the key story as someone failing to save one because they wanted to save 5, about how sometimes too much compassion is bad, a short explanation tho
This unrelated to the topic of the video, but I really appreciate that your video is segmented into specific parts. So many videos I watch are either not at all, or when they are the segments don’t make any sense and are just labeled in chapters.
I kinda wanna think this thing is possessed Or programmed with knowledge that I just wanna understand this wierd thing, and it barely makes any sense! Oh hey, this goober gives candy! :D
After cross-referencing all of his stories, I've noticed a reoccurring quality to them - not every inch of each story is reflective of the events they're alluding to. There are placeholder elements in each one that are essentially red herrings. After cutting out certain elements from each story, each one ends up nigh-perfectly reflecting an event that actually occurred in the canon. So they're stories for people who are already in the know of what they mean - the only people who know what to cut out and interpret in the first place. Or, at least that's the intent. Which means they're probably not stories that provide new information and more stories that make you think; "Wait, why does this random candy dispenser robot know about that?" It's sort of in the same vein as the fruit punch and lemonade clowns occasionally threatening to cut your throat, it's an attempt to unnerve and perplex, as well as to give Candy Cadet his own character as a being who knows things he has no right knowing. The only times he gives information on something that we 'shouldn't' already know is in Ruin when he talks about the Mimic.
The problem with Candy Cadet is that, in a game where lore is hidden EVERYWHERE, I don't like that it's hidden in a robot that tells stories... Is a take? It's one I don't get, but the video was entertaining regardless~! Kinda wanna see more now.
I meant less that it's only hidden in a robot and more that there's story details we should be seeing, and we shouldn't have the only plot details delivered through the robot, you know? And thank you!
So my take on the Help Wanted 2 story, at least for the Vanessa angle, is this. Vanessa likely is an Afton or Afton Parallel. Considering Micheal would have been old father or grandpa age, maybe a cousin or something that shared an abusive household cycle... Tangents aside, Vanessa as a little girl could have been scarred by her father mentally, making her have daddy issues and obey under threat of grave consequences. As she became an adult and got taken over partially by Glitchtrap, which itself was a mimicry of Afton himself (also no doubt an abusive dad), so Vanessa obeyed but still fought control. Gregory, being a small boy into video games, and likely someone who before Security Breach had a family (because how would he become Patient 46 without a parent having a connection with FE?) and probably got his brain more thoroughly hacked by Glitchtrap. Then he helped the Mimic take over Vanessa the rest of the way, and then Gregory somehow got released from control or both have an alter ego. After SB, Vanessa adopts Gregory and the rest is basically history. Also, it could be Cassie's Dad/Bonnie Bro. He may be an old dad but men can have kids when they're basically 80 so it's not impossible. He was probably one of the employees who was killed by Gregory, and was scarred for life from Fredbear's (or even the bite of 87 if anyone goes by that logic). If Bonniebro was a technician he likely was in similar situations as Micheal except with less actual idea of what was happening. Plus with the Fall fest situation, it makes sense that if William wanted to cheap out on fire hazard prevention in the Circus, Bonniebro likely was the laser tag kid along with the other bullies. (while Crying Child would have been the kid on the Ferris Wheel as we read in the survival Logbook.) And (both) attractions, as well as every other thing at Fall fest caught fire. Bonniebro, Micheal, the bullies, Crying Child, and more were likely traumatized by such a massive burndown of Fallfest, with Fredbear's, Freddy's, Circus Baby's, and more all just compiling trauma for everyone around.

During the Fazbear Civil war of ‘93, Candy Cadet was awarded a Purple Heart and promoted to Glucose General.
He spent his retired days in a care facility, telling tales of the horrors of war to children who wanted lemon drops.
Comment approved
Ngl better story in this comment than in the actual games
It specifically has to be lemon drops tho, any other candies he just gives away for free
Imagine being a child at Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria, seeing Candy Cadet, depositing a quarter, getting some candy, and then it tells you the most disturbing story, then just deactivates.
Fucked up story time is the spice of life
and then an airhorn as a sweet finisher (I know its not exclusive to candy cadet nor even diegetic to fnaf but I always found it funny that even with the story, the minigame finishes with an airhorn)
I was thinking about that
How would that work in a Pizzeria 🤔
You expect to get traumatized by an animatronic with teeth, but no, it's the glorified gumball machine that does it.
And it's never happened to anyone else there so nobody believes you and eventually you're gaslit into thinking you made it all up, but every so often whenever you visit you'd swear you heard him finishing a story to some other kid, only it's not quite the same story you must've made up, so you don't put too much stock in it...
Maybe Candy Cadet is like Mr. Hippo telling us that some stories are just stories that don't have a specific meaning? 🤔
Candy Candet:🤖😊🍬
Candy Candets stories:💀
Would it be weird if candy was just talking about the box the whole time?
candy cadet is basically the personification of the biggest problem from the series: mystery for the sake of a mystery
Scott realized how invested people were in solving the lore and decided to prolong it as long as possible. If he tells the story right away, people might be done with it, and he loses his audience. He also is just writing it as he goes..
yeah he's good at making the mystery,but sucks at revealing them
@@BenjaminBox i think he doesn't want to show the lore because when people see it, they finally realize that the series is poorly written, so scott looses credibility as a writter
@@Wizardjones69I mean I think he lost whatever credibility he had as a writer a long time ago.
@@dopeydoughnut6334 The Silver Eyes was ok as a standalone story. But the sequels to that book on the other hand shows that Scott isn’t a very good writer or really plans ahead (even with Kira still co-writing the sequels with him). Sure, the robot twist was there from the beginning but it wasn’t well executed and really opens a lot of plot holes. Not to mention now human robot theories are everywhere in the fandom and I’m so tired of seeing them.
Candy Cadet's the kinda guy to tell you a story about a chicken who went on a mouse-killing spree, which is an obscure parallel to WW2💀
I mean, have you seen chickens? They'll peck each other to death, those bitches are evil
To quote DSAF3 "Don't ask for cryptic stories from a candy robot." Or something to that extent.
Correction he says, "Don't come to your candy dispenser robot in your pizzeria for whimsical parables. Or life advice."
I will give Candy Cadet this. When he shows up, the atmosphere of the game really takes a turn. Even if it is just for a moment, he does a good job having the player question what exactly is going on in whatever game they are playing.
As much as the mimic might be a lil controversial to say the least, at least with Candy Cadet (and other aspects of ruin) it as an excellent build up to its reveal
he’s just a matpat standin. that’s all he ever was.
More like MatPat (and theorycrafter in general) bait.
If I'm remembering one of the TetraBitGaming Ruin Cut Content videos right, Candy Cadet's story originally would have said the woods were full of dangerous animals, and in an earlier version of the map you would have to pass by the original fnaf 1 gang after Candy Cadet's room.
What does this add to the conversation... nothing. Just a fun fact
Actually... that DOES add somethign to the conversation: specifically, it adds that the story being told by Candy Cadet might actually be about Ruin's protag. Similarly, in Pizzaria Simulator you get a story that could be referring to Henry's plan to burn all the animatronics (unknowingly binding their remnant all together into a single form).
Perhaps what we should be taking from this is that Candy Cadet is predicting the future by examining stories it knows?
The problem with candy cadet is that he doesn't actually give any candy.
He did, right before he tells you a story in Pizzeria Simulator, a candy comes out of him. (You can see it at 0:49 )
also at 2:34
I mean, he does when fully stocked, 99% of the time in Pizzeria Simulator he gives you candy
Candy Cadet is representative of FNAF as a whole. A vague mess of ideas that has potential to be a good story but refuses to give any concrete answers, and as a result, we're only left with fan theories that vary so wildly from each other that I wouldn't blame anyone for saying that FNAF doesn't have a story. There's an ancient rule in storytelling call "Show, Don't Tell" that dictates that it's better to show what's going on in your story so the audience can be properly hooked, and doing the opposite, "Tell, Don't Show", isn't going to be nearly as effective since the audience likely won't feel the impact of anything that happens. Candy Cadet however, and by extension FNAF as a whole, take that a few steps backward by opting for a new rule. "Imply, Never Tell". You can't say anything in FNAF is absolute. You can only hint at it otherwise people will get upset. Well, I'd argue that people are already upset by that rule by now. Bendy proved this by opting for that same rule in Ink Machine, and players weren't exactly thrilled. Then Dark Revival came out and went with the "Show, Don't Tell" rule, and everyone was much happier. TLDR; I'm tired of the vagueness of FNAF. I don't want inklings of what could be a story for others to finish writing because Scott is either lazy or too scared to upset anyone. I want a REAL story that means something.
Yeah, the vagueness has really only damaged the franchise.
The lore hints are so unclear and open to interpretation that we can't even concretely establish many important events.It's like someone threw a 100 somewhat related loose ends and expected us to tie it up for them.
Like you said the games follow the, "Tell, Don't show" policy. And even when it tells, it's never clear about it. It just gets frustrating after some time.
Honestly, I would love prequel games of FNAF that go back cover individual stories of fan-favorite characters in detail. That they SHOW the horrific things these characters and people around have gone through.
The issue was only further agrovated when all of the methods to make what little is shown questionable became fixtures. So even the little we did see now can easily just not be real.
I wish that for the 10th anniversary this year they just gave us a short game that definitely clears up the first four games or the core events like the MCI and CC incident. I'm also tired of relying on the books for lore that's not even consistent, it should be available in the games. I have a hard time believing that Into The Pit is going to clear up certain events and the names associated with them. I know Scott didn't expect FNAF to become such a sensation so maybe he didn't really think too much about the lore, but it's been 10 years and we got a crazy amount of games and books, there's no way they don't have a timeline of events figured out, we need SOME answers. I still don't know what Toy Chica missing her beak means and that was one of if not the first direct hint we got that then led to the Dream Theory, but now with all the sci-fi stuff and the scary gas thing they put in nothing makes sense, they over complicated it for the sake of building up mystery while we still don't have a timeline or confirmed names.
My thoughts EXACTLY 👏 !! While I do enjoy theorizing and types of analysis content like this video, FNAF absolutely suffers from a lack of concrete details. I feel like Scott had the right idea intially, but he, and now Steel Wool, seem to either be too afraid to reveal truths about the series, OR (and I feel this is HIGHLY likely) are keeping the status quo because they know that theorizing is a huge part of the appeal to FNAF, and therefore is what will make them the most money. That's how they get away with releasing unfinished games like Security Breach 😑 .
he's not too lazy or too scared, he can't do it because despite doing this for 10 years his writing skills have not improved even a little
I've been a major supporter of the idea that Henry is much guiltier than the paragon he gets depicted as.
He talks about Afton's crimes as if they were something he *allowed to happen.*
I like to think that the three stories are, in some way, explanations of just how the murders affected him.
The idea that he knew Afton would do it, and that he let him. The idea that Afton had broken in and taken the lives of those he tried to protect. The idea that his efforts to save them only ensured their deaths.
Why were they killed at Freddy's? Of course, the security puppet would never let them be taken elsewhere. He had, effectively, locked them in that building with a man who he knew was dangerous.
Why did he have the Afton Schematics. How did he get them. *That isn't something you just stumble across, why does he know how they work.*
The fact that he does nothing with William Afton when he become Springtrap instead of bring him to justice make me question his moral. Doesn't help that he doesn't even talk to Michael about his father before PS.

Dude I’d put in a coin to get a steak, heck yeah! 😂

Honestly, I’ve always nursed a bit of a grudge against Candy Cadet simply for being yet another non-commital way of delivering us information in a sea of others.
I get it, that vaugeness is part of the fun, but there’s a point where there’s too much non-commital information in this franchise. At some point we need something, anything we can hold onto. It’s like we’re building a card tower with a mix of yu-gi-oh, playing, and tarot cards not wanting to fit together really, and we’re not even sure if these are actually playing cards or maybe lego bricks.
Imagine if, instead of candy cadet to deliver this information, we got the Player/michael’s notebook, and each night we’d be able to read more entries. Sure, it’s still technically not firm, due to an unreliable narrator, but it’s a far more clear and reliable source than the confusing ramblings of a glorified gumball machine. Not to mention it would give some characterization to a character (Michael or the Player) that desperately needs it. I dunno about you, but that feels like a much more clean and fitting way to deliver the information.
Same. I also hate that he's the main evidence for the Missing Children = Molten Freddy theory, because of the existence of the scrapped Animatronic 01 and just...wanting the Funtimes to be their own thing. I don't think the theory actually holds up, but it's so prevalent because otherwise, you have to acknowledge that the Missing Children are repeatedly brought-up, but don't exist in Pizz Sim.
@@diarawisteria2218 He isn't the main evidence for that. Henry's speech in the Insanity Ending is the main evidence for it, since he is obviously referring to "Follow Me" when he says William "led them there AGAIN" and "overpowered them AGAIN", and then at the end of it, he says he needs to "call them all back, together in one place". He does not pivot from talking about the MCI before saying it. And where could they be? Molten Freddy, the one described as having the most remnant out of everyone present. "Fascinating... what they have become".
Oh, and there's also Fourth Closet, coming out after FFPS and showing William literally extracting remnant from a melted amalgamation of the Classics' endoskeletons and then injecting it into Funtime Freddy and giving it life for the first time. He also says repeatedly that they now serve a "greater purpose", an important turn of phrase considering Henry says in FFPS that the MCI are "now set to *new purpose* and used in ways I never thought imaginable."
Oh, and Help Wanted shows the endos of the Classics burning in a furnace.
Candy Cadet may as well not even be a factor. The virgin Candy Cadet vs. the chad FFPS/Fourth Closet/Help Wanted triple whammy. lol
Agreed. They've tried to hard to make the game mysterious, that it feels like there's just questions with no answers.
Tbh for the Ruin story, it could be about mental growth, rather than physical growth from aging. Like, considering that at the end of SB Vanessa escapes Glitchtrap's control, that'd mean there's a pretty huge mental growth on her part between that and HW/Ruin, even in that short of a timespan.
But yeah, I think in times like these, we must remember Mr. Hippo's wise words, sometimes a story is just a story. I mean, it does seem to apply perfectly in that context.
Anyways, great vid as always, and glad you're feeling better!
Please be nice to my child. He is perfect and precious. Lovely little man.
The mom could've been the Mxes program, too. It warned Cassie to the best of its ability and tried to stop her, but she still went through with following "Gregory".
5:16
i think its afton yes, by the fact that afton wanted a "family"
in silver eyes, he pretty much makes it obvious that the animatronics with children souls are his "family"
but in william's mind, the burglar was henry, but the kind man and the burglar are william afton in reality
but as i said, william think its henry's fault, so he places the burglar as henry
I honestly never paid attention to him that much, but he was always a somewhat enigma to me in the franchise.
Ironic, I know. 😅
I’m predicting candy Cadet will probably be in into the pit the game and drop the mimic backstory exposition to Oswald finally killing the Henry Edwin parallel argument.
(please)
I predict he'll be there but then we'll get a backstory that's so close to Mimic's AND someone else's that we'll never know who the heck it's about. XD
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 gonna to confirm my mimic and pittrap fusion theory, which is what creates glitch trap and why he has the MCI kids memories in VR 2 but not actually William🥱 (joke or is it)
Candy Cadet is where Willy has been the entire time, trust me.
Candy Cadet design is the best one in the entire franchise
Change my mind
Finally someone that gets it
Objection: mangle
The kitten story to me matched how our boy william had this snake within him (his desire to murder and experiment) that he couldn’t get rid of, at random one of his children got murked by his snake, which was manifested in his animatronics, it wasn’t literally left open but it was in some senses an eventuality that his machines would murder his children as he warned them but never truly put the snake away to stop this from happening in essence allowing it to happen. In his guilt he put her back together in baby.
Huh, Pizzaria Simulator/UCN Candy Cadet has a different head then the Ruin/Help Wanted 2 Candy Cadet(s), Pizzaria Simulator has only a visor with flashing lights, whereas the other (two?) has the lights around the entire circumference of the head. (Another difference is the lack of those four large obvious screwhead/boltheads)
I noticed that! But I think it's more just an updated model than a totally different character.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Honestly, I think too many theorists take that opinion about too many of the differences between FNAF games (especially Help Wanted 1 forward), but Candy Cadet is the most likely for it to be true. (Though the horror that would flow through the theorist community if none of the differences were redesigns would be facinating.)
@@QuestionDeca below his left wheel, it says prototype
Like the Mediocre Melodies, Candy Cadet has definitely earned his place in the fandom as both Meme Fuel and a source of Lore (through implications) but I'm kinda over his cryptic with a twinge of EdgeLord characterization. Although, I was also annoyed when he was used as an Exposition spewer in Ruin and HW2 so maybe I'm just never satisfied, LMAO. That being said, The Woman and The Keys story is one of my favorite things from the franchise and I won't take its impact away from him and I like the Letting Go interpretation you shared with us. I still think it's about Charlie and her naivety blended with determination to Save Them led to more harm being done (but she learned! She grew up in the Afterlife like she didn't get to and learned, at least according to Sire Squawks!) but new ideas and Theories are always welcome. Overall, I just keep Mr. Hippo's gentle Roast of Theorists and Occam's Razor in mind when it comes to him and keep it moving.
Candy Cadet is honestly one of my favourites. I love the design, the goofy voice, and the weirdly dark vague story hints. I remember getting one around when Pizza Sim came out late at night not knowing what he was or did, and being so confused as to what just left that little robot's head.
As much as i love candy cadet his stories are confusing as hell
There's something oddly comforting about Cadet's TTS voice...
Kinda crazy that the 8-Bit mini games were the clearest FNAF ever got about telling it’s lore… AND THAT WAS ALREADY VAUGE AS HELL!!!
The Ruin and HW2 stories could have another meaning if you take out the genders; someone being lured into letting a monster out of the basement? Cassie being lured down by the mimic. Someone returning to slay someone who tried to slay them, being tricked into walking right back into their clutches? Could be the HW2 protag, whether you believe it to be Cassie's dad, previous programmer Jeremy, or some other near-victim of something related to Fazbear Entertainment (especially considering the files suggesting that we were supposed to be following voice logs from Vanessa throughout the game).
I also heard someone theorize that the Pizza Sim stories are all meant to imply that the five missing children souls are all in Molten Freddy, basically hammering it in that 5 Became 1. Though it does seem a bit weird that you would need three stories to make the same point.
the hw2 one could also be about michael, getting tricked into being scooped in sister location, left with a permanent scar as literal purple guy, then getting lured by henry into the pizza sim location, a LITERAL OVEN
Molten MCI also doesn't make sense chronologically. Because, WHEN William would have made them into the Funtimes ? He destroyed the FNAF 1 Gang. The Toys aren't there and the OG are on stage so it has to be FNAF 1 restaurant.
So for the theory to be true, he must have made them into the Funtimes around FNAF 1... But Michael would had already been scooped by now since he was already fired for his "odor" back in FNAF 2. So William couldn't made them into the Funtimes since they already escaped years before.
@@ultimate-phenix I think I always assumed that the bad odor in fnaf1 came from tampering with the animatronics filled with decaying corpses? If not just entirely made up to try and fire Mike legitimately. And as with many things in the series, there's no way to know if the closed Freddy's location that the hand unit mentioned is the Security Puppet Freddy's or the Fnaf1 Freddy's.
Also, the theory I heard regarding Molten MCI uses Henry's log from the Insanity ending of Pizza Sim as a way to describe what happened: Afton using "his old tricks" to lure the animatronics off their stage (potentially what the purple Freddy is meant to represent, which makes more sense to me personally than Shadow Freddy luring the animatronics to their doom) so he can dismantle them as close to the hidden room as possible, taking their remnant (in other words, the souls of the MCI kids) and "setting them to new purpose" by using them to power the funtimes. There's no indication that the fnaf 3 mini games all happen in one night, after all, he could've been going back over the course of weeks. Not to mention the more recently found endos in the furnace in Help Wanted alluding to Molten MCI, too.
"Are they (the kids?) still aware? I hope not."
It's not a perfect explanation, it doesn't explain why the spirits were able to scare Afton into the springlock suit if they were stuck inside the funtimes, but if nothing else I could see that being what Scott was trying to imply at the time of Pizza Sim. And theories don't have to be perfect, y'know? The way the storytelling of this series goes, we're probably never going to know the one definitive answer, so why not just have fun with it?
@@ultimate-phenix I also like NimoClancey's way of viewing it where 1-3 and 4-Pizza Sim are their own separate trilogies, which I'm sure isn't what Scott intended at all, but it alleviates some of the pressure of trying to tie absolutely everything into one another. 😅
@@SpikyEaredPichu96 I still think it doesn't work, not only because of the spirits presence but also because of the Security Logbook.
If you don't know, it was released just before FFPS (NotRealName talked about it in her Logbook Chica video) and it's the origin of some of the most accepted theories like Golden Duo, the name of "Cassidy" for the Golden Freddy Spirit or just the idea that Mike Schmidt IS Michael Afton.
Well, in this logbook, Mike canonically is responding to a survey made by Faz Ent in order to work for them. He used his nickname "Mike" so we can assume it was around FNAF 1. And he already did some reference to SL like the fact he would prefer money AND ABSOLUTELY NOT Exotic butter.
So FNAF 1 Mike was already scooped and even if William destroying the bots can happen between nights... The fact is that we see their remains on the floor every time so no one has repaired them. So, since all of them were in working order during FNAF 1, William could only have destroyed them AFTER Mike's shift;
But... In the end... I think you're right. Theories doesn't have to be "perfect". And Scott isn't the best writer so it's possible he really wanted to tell us Molten MCI was canon and just never thought of the inconsistencies on the timeline. He did write the games as it goes and never had a clear plan after all...
It's just that I saw so many people being almost dogmatic about Molten MCI that I overreact when the conversation is about it. But yeah, as long as everyone understands that 70% of the "canon" is just the fanon that shouts the loudest, yeah, let's just go with our own interpretation and have fun.
I may have been to adamant and I'm sorry about it.
That has to be the most threatening "Candy. Candy. Candy." I have ever heard. Anyway I'm going to pick this guy up and shake him aggressively until he gives me a straight answer. And then fix him up because being ruined for two games in a row seems like a disservice to his goober-ness.
The pizza with fries and mozzarella sticks does sound good though, but I'm not paying $50 for that.
I think it's possible that Candy Cadet was made by Fazbear Entertainment to cover up the events of the past by telling stories that are 1:1 opposite versions of the events that actually did happen.
For example, in the keys story, instead of it being a women, it's a young child (since the spirits are children, not adults), and the key, or "piece," are split into five, five "pieces."
This ends up saving five children, at the expense of one, the Crying Child.
When read like this, it seems to be a variation of ShatterVictim.
I figured this'd make more sense.
As for the HW2 story, it seems to be about Glitchtrap, who was lured Vanny and trapped by the one they're working for.
Glitchtrap was said to have only a fraction of their code remaining, so, instead of being a young girl who aged, they'd be a fully grown entity that was stripped down into a small piece.
They young boy would be a grown woman, Vanny, who leads Glitchtrap into a trap, as we see in HW2's ending, with the old witch being a young boy, most likely being TOYSNHK, or whoever the Nightmarionne imagery belongs to, who Vanny works for.
That's just a barely in-depth example of two of the stories, I figured it'd be a pretty interesting angle to look at.
Everytime Fnaf has cryptic lore, my life shortens by one year. I am a ghost now.
I haven't watched the video but the title and the tumbnail is very promissing
edit: i watched the video and YES candy cadet's stories always felt somehow weird. Like they fit the stories in-game but there was just something either extra or missing. "Is this detail important? Is this just added to make the story sound more real? is this story about this event or the other one?"
I kinda felt like he was theory bait to keep fans busy after fnaf 6 until scott figured out where the series should go from there
7:10 One thing to note is that the snake is only said to eat one kitten, with no repetition of the action claimed or implied, only that time passed. Snakes don't eat very frequently, only once every several days, so that one kitten would sustain it for a weak. Plus, the boy is only said to put THE kitten together, being the single one that was eaten.
But that would be even more confusing. It would mean it follows the same 5 becomes 1 format but one becomes one. I think more likely it IS the same 5 becomes 1 and that Scott wasn't thinking of how often snakes eat, as it's not a literal snake, it's a metaphorical one.
I'm so glad you're feeling better after your surgery ❤
i dont think Candy Cadet is meant to be taken too literally. I think we're only supposed to take the general idea from it. the Pizza Sim stories are 5 things becoming 1 thing. i think it's referring Molten Freddy. Who is the present day version of the original 5 kids being killed... or at least what's left of them in the present day (present as of Pizza Sim) as the other remnants of the 5 children have since passed on. Molten Freddy being all that's left.
The ruin story is about being tricked by a familiar voice. foreshadowing that Gregory... wasn't Gregory.
And the Help Wanted 2 story, if generalized, is simply someone who was fooled once, is fooled again with a different tactic. which i think is probably a reference to the fact that help wanted 2 ends with the player character being taken by the AR world... just like what happened to Vanessa in help wanted 1. i think that story is a bit more meta in the fact that we have the potential to do the same mistake we did in the first game with the 2nd game. which of course is doomed to happen anyway cus ruin proves the bad ending is the true ending. i think that's what Candy Cedet's HW2 story is all about.
as for the last story... i have no idea XD honestly that one showed up out of left field... but to generalize it... a group of people missing out on something and died because of it... who knows... maybe it's another meta jab at the community XD
By the way candy Cadet story about the the man burying the child in the knock at the door is talking about molten Freddy because one of molten Freddy’s lines is
“ knock, knock I’m here”
Molten MC as weird as it is most likely true
Personally, I disagree, the stories aren’t about how a bad person put five things together, it’s a good guy trying to do, well good.
@@azimuddin1890 that’s cause the good guy is Michael
@@Sonicmid
Does that mean it’s Aubergine Man Jr (Michael Schmidty) putting five things together?
@@azimuddin1890 that’s the entire plot of sister location
William splits the kids into Funtime Freddy Funtime foxy bonbon,ballora with Cassidy creating yendo
Michael creates ennard he put 5 things together
@@Sonicmid
I mean, I still feel like it’s a stretch in the games. Because we don’t see that happening, we need the Charlotte (Web) novel trilogy to think that.
I get that, but still I don’t agree.
candy cadet the lore keeper and the most sweet thing in the whole series
With the woman and the 5 keys, I agree with it probably being about charlie, but I wonder if it meant that she could of brought one kid back like baby presumably did for Michael.
For the ruin story, it works for Gregory being the mother and Cassie the little boy too
The young woman and witch I read as Cassie's dad, if he's hw1 Jeremy- his first escape being with surviving the guillotine slicer but left with a scar but dies the second time
Considering it is about a key to freedom, it could be that she could have brought piece to any one of them if she focussed on it, but she tried helping everyone and only ended up trapping them in the end.
I've been so excited for this! Glad you're feeling better!
It's cool to see someone taking this angle, rather than the "We SoLvEd FnAf" route, but no hate to those creators either, it's just refreshing to find something different!
Thanks for the vids!
10:33 if I recall correctly candy cadet was planed to be a threat in unc as he appeared in the og line up Scott teased tho I can’t find why he was cut or what he would’ve done.
19:25 im sorry wth you can’t just say something like that and expect no back up questions. First off why was a cat on (I assume) your windshield? Was it your cat or a stray, and where you driving threw a flower field in spring to get said windshield covers in pollen? My god I’m so confused and I’d greatly appreciate backstory
I live in the middle of the woods and the tree pollen is atrocious. XD I also have outdoor cats- strays that I've been feeding and homing- and they constantly sleep on my car. I really need to buy a car cover, lol.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 oh I see but do you have a garage you can keep the car in? I imagine that work better then a car cover. But thank you for the explanation
Based on how the kids/animatronics viewed William in the FNAF movie, the first story could be game William’s version of events that he told the kids before they turned on him
I just though of a solution to the key problem
1) save the children
2 create a mold of the exit key
3) exit the room with all the children
4) profit :D
I'm glad your surgery went well and you're recovering okay! I love your content and I always watch your new videos when I see them. My only note, which I hope doesn't come off too nitpicky, is that you say "perchance" when the word is "penchant" - I've noticed it in a couple of videos. "He has a penchant for doing that." Perchance is used more like "Could you do this for me, perchance?"
Let's go, new video! Also, I just realised candy cadet uses the generic male text to speech.
Anyone else notice that in ruin some worker just decided to re-design candy cadet even thought HE WAS LITTERALLY BURNED 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: in 8 hours, IT GOT A HEART
I was watching this, and I asked myself the silly little question of “How did Ruined Candy Cadet get where he is?” Little did I know this would lead to me realizing that Security Breach shows the vent system FNaF 6 takes place in is BELOW the Pizza Place, a detail I have never thought about at all and I have so many questions but it is past midnight and I am too tired to answer them myself.
my dumbass saw the fnaf sl micheal outline and thought it was chonny jash's pfp
LONG ASS COMMENT WARNING:
Candy Cadet revels a major problem with Fnaf's story since arguably even fnaf 2s release, but has been getting more and more of a problem since then. It never really gives a direct answer. Think about it, even now, we STILL don't know who did the bite of 87, we STILL don't know the crying child's name, and we STILL don't know what's in the box, and we'll probably never know the definitive answer to any of these questions. All we can really do is try and do Sherlock Holmes level guesswork to try and come up with an answer that MIGHT, keyword MIGHT, be correct. "Oh, well it's PROBABLY mangle", "Well, It MIGHT be Evan", "I mean, MAYBE it's the puppet". We can only really go off with a bunch of maybe's, probably's, and might's. I think the worst has to come from help wanted 2. In the first help wanted, there was "tape girl" who was a basic exposition character to explain the origins of glitchtrap and explains what his deal is while also giving basic story info (I.E how help wanted was a game made to help freddys image, etc) , however, in help wanted 2? No tapes, no explanation, no story info, no dice. A lot of stuff just kind of "happens" in help wanted 2 and your just left their to kind of just "guess" what's even going on. Who where playing as, what the endings mean, what vanny's deal is, not a damn thing. It's a mystery, with no clues to find, or rather, their are a few clues to find, you just need to get the books to find them, and even that is becoming harder to decipher as time goes on. Of course, I'm not saying we need everything spelled out, one of the reasons fnaf got so big was in part due to the mystery of the first game after all, but it just becomes frustrating when if feels like every single plot point has 5-6 cryptic hints that only vaguely gesture towards it, and about 2-3 of them are complete dead ends. Again, it's a mystery, with no clues to find.
CC's name and the Bite of 87 are wholly unimportant. Nothing is lost by leaving those open. The box is not literal, it's a metaphor, emphasis on the "meta". Scott already told us what's inside. The "pieces put together", referring to the pieces of FNAF4's original story we didn't discover at the time.
So what are the pieces? The building blocks of Happiest Day, and CC being the one to end it all and free the souls. CC's memories directly tie to FNAF3's minigames, and it is through his memories and actions that Happiest Day happens at all. All hinted at in 4, but revealed in FNAF World. There's also the fact that the older brother is the one having the dreams (most likely originally Michael Schmidt, to tie things back to FNAF1), as hinted at in 4 before it was just revealed to us in the logbook. Though, it's hard to tell what the significance (if any) of these nightmares was originally, before the story changed.
Speaking of which, Scott once said the contents of the box changed. Again, it's not a physical thing. It's because SL and FFPS exist, expanding and completely changing the original story, where the room in FNAF4 is now an experiment chamber (doesn't change anything about the events of FNAF4, though, contrary to popular belief), the killer is now William Afton, the brother is Michael Afton, and Happiest Day didn't completely fix the problem. Which is why the digital map layout in FFPS during Henry's final speech looks like a box. It's the end of the original story. All the pieces necessary to end this have finally been brought together. And that's why the box hasn't been brought up since. We're done with it.
This is not to say that Scott's not at fault, or that his brand of storytelling isn't a massive headache. lol But I do think this matter is effectively closed at this point. After all, the original box was 100% a product of its time that Scott seems to have regretted doing anyway, according to the interview. It's not gonna solve anything anymore. We could legit just forget it and it won't matter. Scott certainly seems to follow that logic. But as far as its original purpose goes, and keeping in accordance with all the future reveals that came out after the fact, there's pretty much no other explanation than what I have outlined above.
The second story could be about William as the boy, and a metaphor for his research/curiosity/urge to kill. William doesn't want to give up that curiosity, because the secrets it might crack open could be amazing, but he can't bring himself to choose a victim. Ultimately, he just *goes* for it and kills whatever kid he kills. But he feels bad afterwards, and either tries to put the body back where it died at Freddy's (remember that "nothing was ever proven in court" thing from HW1?), and that just keeps happening until he goes through all five victims.
Candy Cadet probably has the mimic 01 programming which makes his ruin funnier because he’s basically exposing himself.
Also under glitchMXES mimic is trying to stop mimic
His greatest enemy is himself
Candy Cadet:"Be careful, an evil robot is down here."
Mimic:"Brother, why!?"
Candy Cadet:"We are siblings but I'm one of the good guys, deal with it."
Further along and a new thought... If Candy Cadet is being programmed with these "Stories" who and why are two Questions you really need to answer before you take his words for anything.
The mimic
OH HECK YEAH! I'm early to the video about Candy Cadet!
Candy Cadet has one of my favourite designs

@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Yay, thanks! ^v^
The main reason I am watching your videos is that I like your voice, but I enjoy the fnaf conent as well.
Thank you kindly! 😊
Maybe I’m just projecting or reaching here, but I feel like your most recent FNAF videos have more of a cynical approach. I really noticed it in your “what makes you so special?” Video. Maybe I’m just noticing you being more critical than before, or I’m just hoping someone isn’t taking FNAF seriously like me.
I believe Candy Cadet is like one of those pictures everyone is supposed interpret, but nobody is right. He adds fuel to the fire, but that fire is raging uncontrollably and burning down the structure, not providing any light or heat.
Oh no. It's more that I've been on a similar train of thought. The 'What Makes you Special' video was one directly broken off of the Baby script because it was too long, and this one was a follow up to the Ruin stuff I trackled in there. It's less me being more cynical and instead me doing a string of videos with the same topic in mind. XD
Though the next one, the Box one, is surprisingly not cynical. It's more of a 'what could've been in the box?' take with me clarifying what I think was actually in the box. Though I am working on another script too, so we'll see which gets done first!
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Okay, so I was just projecting then >.
I suspect the FFPS Candy Cadet is a meta reference to Scott's frustrations over trying to reconcile the fragmented lore up to that point. But in Security Breach and its sequels, CC is there to shed light on the events leading up to the game. So in Ruin is tells how Gregory was lured down to the Mimic when it impersonated Vanessa. HW2's Candy Cadet clears up the confusion about who the protagonist is. It's the same exact protagonist from HW1 lol. Vanessa/Vanny had escaped the oven aka the chamber Glitchtrap locked her soul in, then came back and found herself trapped yet again in the mask.
I can kinda draw the conclusion that he’s referring to the plot to pizzeria simulator.
The whole plot is gathering all the victims into one place to finally lay them to rest in one mass grave. He’s not telling stories, he’s warning us of our demise.
My head cannon is that Jeremy is the woman, and he has the scar from his previous dealing with Glitchtrap (the witch)
Tbh, I think the end of the first story is about Henry and the Pizza Sim itself, because he lured everyone to the pizzeria (their coffin), where they become one thing after the burning.
but we talk with candy cadet before that happens, candy cadet cannot predict the future, right????????
@@Wizardjones69 Tbh, I don't even know what exactly he is. He doesn't seem to be possessed, but how could he get new stories after the burning? He could be under influence of the memories of the dead children on Pizza Sim, but it doesn't make a lot of sense for SB and HW2. I wouldn't be surprised if the next book series presents something that can explain it better, although it definitely wasn't Scott original intent.
NotRealName, not every story has to have significance, y'know? Sometimes, uh... y'know, sometimes, a story's just a story. You try to read into every little thing, and find meaning in everything anyone says, you'll just drive yourself crazy. I had a friend do it once, wasn't pretty.
My favorite interpretation of the third story is that its about afton, in an attempt to put his son back together, he ensures the deaths of 5 kids
If anyone remembers Identity V's Melodas Estate Investigation/Stormy Night Surprise event, you'll remember that the characters told stories. I feel like the Candy Cadet stories are like that. They vaguely parallel each of the characters with a fantasy story, but remember: the monstrous bird was the woman telling the story about the girl that got ate by the bird.
That's how I take these stories. Especially the Ruin and HW2 stories. Cassie is probably the basement monster, and Vanessa is 100% the witch (we even see the 'witch' get her meal in the PQ4 ending, with Vanny crushing glitchtrap).
Also, the kittens might not be kids, but security guards. It's about Henry letting William keep hiring night gaurds, despite knowing that they will die. He lets William hire a guard, the guard dies. Though this may also be about Michael and the Fazbear's Frights guard, as the story of the woman with the keys is an oddly prophetic parallel to Henry burning everything at the end of FNAF 6. But the keys story may likely be about Micheal burning down Fazbear's Frights horror attraction, believing it to be the way to free the kids, only resulting in that not being the means to their freedom and the kids being stuck or free being based on the minigames, not the fire.
The story about the man adopting fivr kids is more likely about Charlotte. She kept the dead kids safe after the location closed, but William broke in and destroyed the animatronics. Charlotte probably made molten Freddy or the amalgam.
I've said something like I'm about to say, elsewhere before, probably with more words and more evidence, I'ma try and make this briefer, and possibly less compelling as a result. (spoilers, it wasn't brief)
but the tl-dr, would be, To look at Help wanted 2 and ruin's cadet stories, with inclusion of hypnotism. - I personally think and feel like they can be fully locked down, with that one linch pin included
Nessie, Fnaf AR - Searches up Compliance and Self-Compliance - Clearly at this time she is still "Reluctant Follower" - Our Previous alias of her.
This is the "Growing up" portion of the story, in my opinion, Making Security Breach Vanny the experience woman who was consumed by the witch, and Player Vanessa who tested help wanted 1, the younger version of her.
In the Patient logs.
Patient 46 is seen in the pizzaplex, many times.
Patient 46 is believed to be getting MANIPULATED, by someone, at least, the Techs think that... the like, Sixth? therapist thinks Patient 46 is the one who is MANIPULATING and LURING someone else... And in one of the images presented, is a hard-to-tell image, is that.. bunny ears?
BEFORE this. Patient 71 said "she's needed elsewhere now.. thank you" - Convenient.
"Dr Rabbit" GGY, Greg / Gregory, making Therapists and counselors disappear.
Vanny speaking to Patient 46.
"Manipulation and luring"
All these, and Cadet's stories for HW2 and Ruin.
They all fit together, if the linch pin is Hypnosis.
Nessie, under follow of Glitchtrap, Searches up how to make Vanessa more compliant. Learns Hypnosis.
Finds Gregory, Somewhere. Hypnotizes him into the Alias "Dr Rabbit"
Dr Rabbit, a "doctor" Helps Vanessa battle the witch. "Compartmentalizing" the scar left by Glitchtrap.. Except SIKE- reality is actually the reverse. Patient 46 is actually Manipulating Vanessa into a more vulnerable state, The Oven closes. And Glitchtrap consumes the woman's psyche.
"I'm needed elsewhere now"
With Vanessa largely defeated, Vanny transfers to the Pizzaplex, And Speaks with Dr Rabbit.
Before the events of Security Breach, Both of them are working on projects to bring about Glitchtrap to the physical plane. Personally. I think since Gregory would not yet have had Glitchtrap "embedded magically" in the same way as Vanessa did, I think "Dr Rabbit" has frequent reapplications of hypnosis, new orders from the serial bun... Until one day.
Where we add in Ruin's Cadet to the mix. The mimic. Likely, Vanny planned to use the Mimic as the vessel but never got to that point, never got to "be burntrap"
the "Lullaby" would be a trigger phrase to re-trance Gregory.
The "monster" learns the Lullaby, and sings the lullaby, and the kid hears the lullaby - Emphasis on lullaby, not the woman's voice, which I believe, gives more credibility to it being hypnotism, rather than "oh no, mom is in the basement even though I know she went out for food!"
The mimic doesn't understand this, though, Only the Lullaby, And Gregory in a trance, Goes to and opens the door
"Trance" being an almost "sleep like" state.
And the mimic, Not knowing what this is, Doesn't give any proper orders, nor release him from the trance-state to carry out those suggestions or orders.
I personally think, That Gregory follows the mimic for a little while before the trance gets broken forcefully. And Since its broken, and not released, its not effective in recapturing him. Which Is why Vanny actually has to chase us all night as opposed to just for a little bit.
And I think the sticky note room, would be "the basement" where the monster was kept - The doors don't open on the other side, and Vanny chases us pretty hard up till those doors. Its possible she hadn't even realized in Security breach, that the Mimic wasn't in the room anymore. hence chasing up till then, and not wanting to "let the monster out" by accident by continuing to follow us.
Does any of this ramble make sense? I hope it does but not confident it will.
See though that if we linch pin hypnosis into the mix, they all kinda feel like they fall together pretty nicely?
It gives an explanation to patient 46 "manipulation" or "Manipulating someone else"
It gives an explanation to GGY's alias "Dr Rabbit"
It gives an explanation to Gregory (Player) having borderline brainless no clue about Plex operations, yet is somehow in places he shouldn't be able to get to with his level of cluelessness.
It gives an explanation for how Nessie uses "Self compliance" and "Compliance in human subjects"
It can be connected to the "lullaby" - which induces "sleep" (or trance, a sleep like state), that can also "lure" into doing something, cluelessly.
It fits in timeline with patient 46 being seen doing hacker-y things in the pizzaplex, and then, patient 71 later saying she's needed elsewere now and then, later, Patient 46 is reported as "being manipulated and lured somewhere" or instead "is manipulating someone else" and there's "the other person, who is that? are those bunny ears?"
Another Possible explanation of GGY's Actions in the book, the "Robotic" like actions, Can be attributed to "Trance" and hypnotized actions, like an almost "autopilot" like action, rather than "actually robotic"
Even the "mother goes to get food" can be given a meaning if its hypnotism, with the hideouts Vanny used, Or, with Vanessa 'going to work' during the day as security chief - Either she can be bringing food back to the hideouts, which can be the cabin in the woods, or "bringing home the bacon" so to say, working.
It gives a believable way to include "the boy at the mouth of the forest" who would "help" fight the witch, only to instead be what ultimately 'destroys' the woman's chance of fighting back.
and, like said, its an excuse with a stereotypical association, that the hypnotized often do not remember the trance-like portion, and sometimes, don't even remember parts of what happened while carrying out the hypnotized orders.
- An excuse for why Patient 46, seems to be GGY / Greg / Dr Rabbit, and that seems to be Our Gregory - and why Gregory doesn't act like he knows anything about the Pizzaplex... like.. He almost knows LESS than a regular patron of the plex would know, and somehow is in deeper than any of them would ever be. How Confusing of an existence he is. Cassie knows more about the
An excuse for how the mimic and Gregory can encounter each other more than one time, and for the mimic to have been released, and yet, not free as Cassie frees them a second time.
As for Who traps them the second time? well. The Ruined plex seems to have started being restored or demolished. And Cassie's Dad (assumed) seems to have gone down to complete PQ4. And seemed to be the one Obsessed with PQ 1 and 2, maybe 3, and the tools to free the Mimic involve the tools he would use, So, Assumed, He or the team with him, trap the mimic, could be before breach, could be after. - Since the way the place looks, looks like it could be either, or - Could imply, both, but 'finishing' after.
As for any cadet story prior to Help wanted? Possibly isolated to only pre-breach? Possibly intended to be more vague than solvable? not sure. I think I've thrown my hat at it before too, but can't recall what at this moment.
6:38 This doesn't make sense, the story shows that only 1 cat died and the rest survived (I've been wanting to record this for 2 weeks but I don't understand the message of this story, the only thing I could think of was a connection with TBo83) but it doesn't make much sense either
The second to last story is about venesda I think.. here is a theory .. Vanessa grew up during the original freddies witnessed the murders and knew who it was ..she never said a word grew up became the game tester now older and more confident to try and make amends got put under the glitch trap virus and became vanny. ..she got away from the witch one to get eaten in the end ....but hey that's just a ....mattpatt is gonna sue me
Re: help wanted 2, was Vanessa maybe an original Freddy's kid? She escaped Afton's original spree, but was understandably left with a scar, and then having grown up wanted to face her demons- did William do anything notable that might make her think he was still around? Or did she just hear about how shady FE was and got involved? Either way, the oven door shut on her. Only missing thread is the little boy that lured her
Wait, the "kind man" was worried about "someone breaking into "one of their five homes."
Candy cadet is warping the story. The kids' adoption was actually five kidnappings.
There weren't five orphanages that housed one orphan each. There were five abductions of children who weren't orphans.
The "burgler" was probably somebody who came to free the children. And somewhere in the untold part of the story, the kids were killed and put into suits.
The kind man interprets the destruction of the machines as his own children being murdered. And he melts the machines together.
Hey, just a quick hint for the "figurative key" part. The "she" is actually refering to baby, and the "melting the keys to save them" refers to molten freddy. Molten freddy has the souls of 5 victims, and they were convinced to merged based on baby's suggestion that it would make freedom easier.
4:15 You Can't Just Say Perchance
if you switch the genders around in the monster in the basement story, it sounds like Elizabeth and baby's story. A father tells his daughter not to go into the basement, and the monster lures the daughter into it, and kills her. Baby being such a manipulative character I feel like the monster learning the lullaby could symbolize baby's manipulation.
Candy Cadet is really just bait from the writers to lure in theorists to fill in the gaps of their story.
They then pick and choose the ideas the like the most to make canon...if they remember to that is.
Dude, why did they change his design when moving him to Ruin? He looks so much better in Pizza Sim. (I'm not talking about him being damaged).
Looking back this now knowing Michael was the Crying child Candy Cadet makes a bit more sense
The Crying Child considered the 5 main animatronics as his friends, as in people he cared for
Hear me out... WHAT IF... We're looking at the wrong Henry? 😮
What if the real Henry is big, green, metal, and has a number 3 on his tender? 🤨🤔
Any one notice that the head and claws of FNAF 6 candy cadet and ruin candy cadet are different
Could be because they rebuilt the model, as Candy Cadet only had the flat clickteam ones. Or like a Springtrap/Scraptrap situation where they're supposed to be the same character but they're different looking.
Hmm... What if Vanessa was an attempted victim of Williams, who got away? That would be her escaping the oven, only to come back later as an adult.
It's just a small thing. I also have no clue what the time between these ganes is so idk.
now i shall tell you a story. a story of a person who became obsessed with a candy dispenser and its secrets. that person longed to know the dispenser's secrets or if it had any at all, so they broke it until it could no longer perform its task and beat it further. the person finally found all the secrets of the broken candy dispenser, and in turn all the candy turned sour. that person, fed up with the candy dispenser, turned to leave. as a thank you for ending its torment, the candy dispenser gifted the person a crisp five dollar bill that was just five one dollar bills taped together and therefore completely worthless. the person was pleased and moved on to greener pastures, and the candy tasted sweet again.
21:36 I think that story is about the FNAF 6 gang, the family is known as Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, Scraptrap and Lefty. The meal is known as the kids. Their opportunity that they missed as to kill the kids and they missed that bc it was a trap that Henry and Michael set up. And they died due to the fire. So that story is talking about FNAF 6 ending.
I've always interpreted the key story as someone failing to save one because they wanted to save 5, about how sometimes too much compassion is bad, a short explanation tho
This unrelated to the topic of the video, but I really appreciate that your video is segmented into specific parts. So many videos I watch are either not at all, or when they are the segments don’t make any sense and are just labeled in chapters.
I kinda wanna think this thing is possessed
Or programmed with knowledge that
I just wanna understand this wierd thing, and it barely makes any sense!
Oh hey, this goober gives candy! :D
Toy Bonnie wants you to make a video about him because his star is fizzling out 😢
Mango 😱😢😡🙁😒😶🌫️😓
I imagine Henry used the fnaf 1 animatronics to make lefty
So lefty mci
There only was one kitten killed though, am I missing something?
My favorite part of FNAF lore is that Michael canonically bought him
5:20
Tit mouse
Thats a new one I havent heard before
After cross-referencing all of his stories, I've noticed a reoccurring quality to them - not every inch of each story is reflective of the events they're alluding to.
There are placeholder elements in each one that are essentially red herrings. After cutting out certain elements from each story, each one ends up nigh-perfectly reflecting an event that actually occurred in the canon. So they're stories for people who are already in the know of what they mean - the only people who know what to cut out and interpret in the first place. Or, at least that's the intent.
Which means they're probably not stories that provide new information and more stories that make you think; "Wait, why does this random candy dispenser robot know about that?" It's sort of in the same vein as the fruit punch and lemonade clowns occasionally threatening to cut your throat, it's an attempt to unnerve and perplex, as well as to give Candy Cadet his own character as a being who knows things he has no right knowing. The only times he gives information on something that we 'shouldn't' already know is in Ruin when he talks about the Mimic.
The problem with Candy Cadet is that, in a game where lore is hidden EVERYWHERE, I don't like that it's hidden in a robot that tells stories... Is a take? It's one I don't get, but the video was entertaining regardless~! Kinda wanna see more now.
I meant less that it's only hidden in a robot and more that there's story details we should be seeing, and we shouldn't have the only plot details delivered through the robot, you know?
And thank you!
So my take on the Help Wanted 2 story, at least for the Vanessa angle, is this.
Vanessa likely is an Afton or Afton Parallel. Considering Micheal would have been old father or grandpa age, maybe a cousin or something that shared an abusive household cycle... Tangents aside, Vanessa as a little girl could have been scarred by her father mentally, making her have daddy issues and obey under threat of grave consequences. As she became an adult and got taken over partially by Glitchtrap, which itself was a mimicry of Afton himself (also no doubt an abusive dad), so Vanessa obeyed but still fought control. Gregory, being a small boy into video games, and likely someone who before Security Breach had a family (because how would he become Patient 46 without a parent having a connection with FE?) and probably got his brain more thoroughly hacked by Glitchtrap. Then he helped the Mimic take over Vanessa the rest of the way, and then Gregory somehow got released from control or both have an alter ego. After SB, Vanessa adopts Gregory and the rest is basically history. Also, it could be Cassie's Dad/Bonnie Bro. He may be an old dad but men can have kids when they're basically 80 so it's not impossible. He was probably one of the employees who was killed by Gregory, and was scarred for life from Fredbear's (or even the bite of 87 if anyone goes by that logic). If Bonniebro was a technician he likely was in similar situations as Micheal except with less actual idea of what was happening. Plus with the Fall fest situation, it makes sense that if William wanted to cheap out on fire hazard prevention in the Circus, Bonniebro likely was the laser tag kid along with the other bullies. (while Crying Child would have been the kid on the Ferris Wheel as we read in the survival Logbook.) And (both) attractions, as well as every other thing at Fall fest caught fire. Bonniebro, Micheal, the bullies, Crying Child, and more were likely traumatized by such a massive burndown of Fallfest, with Fredbear's, Freddy's, Circus Baby's, and more all just compiling trauma for everyone around.
they really nerfed his model btw the head looks totally different
