Actually, I remember hearing a unique take on Midnight Motorist from Good Idea Bad Idea pointing out that the roads are not how they're supposed to be in America. The driver's lane in Midnight Motorist is on the left for some reason. As Scott probably just hired some cool voice actor, the Midnight Motorist detail probably doesn't mean anything, however it's still an interesting coincidence
That is interesting. I never noticed that detail, and I guess I didn't watch that video, but it's very interesting that they drive on the opposite side. It does make it more interesting that there's more British or not American things in the series.
Finally people are recognizing GiBi’s videos more. His big theory video has 4 million views yet the entire fnaf UA-cam community has just collectively ignored all of it for some reason and I’ve seen no acknowledgement of it anywhere.
@@molamola9723 REAL WHAT THE FUCK THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING
I know I saw one of their videos and remember liking it, but Tbh, I don't remember what was in the video since I watched waaaaay too much fnaf content, so I'll have to take a second look
I heard that Scott didn't specify an accent for William, just wanting him to sound like a snake oil salesman, and the voice actor decided to give William a British accent because of the trope of British evil geniuses, and then the other Aftons were made to be British just to match William.
And Afton's voice in the Security Breach trailers actually isn't British, which might have been a retcon.
I heard that too, of course, after I went a bit crazy trying to fit this square into a round hole, but I still feel there has to be an in-universe explanation for it.
As for afton in the trailer, I wasn't sure if that was canon since we never heard him in the actual game. Cut contet makes theorizing confusing cause some people think it's cut for a reason, and others use it as evidence even though it's cut. I try to lean towards not using cut content if I can, but it's still a good rebuttal to my argument.
Counter point: I was born in Ireland, grew up in Ireland, my mother is Irish, and I went to public school, yet since my Dad's from the US I have an American accent.
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean the Afton kids _weren't_ homeschooled, but it does show it's certainly possible for them to get their accents solely from their dad
Great point. Counter counterpoint... I got nothing, lol, but that is really interesting. I would've guessed you would've had some hybrid accent. I guess I didn't fully understand how accents develop from my research.
@@TerminalError Fair. I do have some friends to who've lived here their whole lives but have foreign parents, and they have sort of a hybrid accent, but yea from what ik your accent does depend on your parents a lot more than your peers
well counter-counter point, my mom's mom is english and her dad is irish and they emigrated to america to have their children who all have american accents
@@rowandunning6877 Oh yea ofc it's very much possible, dare I say likely, that your accent will develop according to your environment. My point was more-so that it's at least possible for you to inherit your accent from one/both of your parents too
It's just possible for this to happen. American-born children with at least 1 immigrant parent are able to pick up on the parent's accent, and if it doesn't go away by age 12, it'll stay for the rest of their life, with minimal changes. The best example I have for a more realistic version of what the Afton kids would sound like has to be F1NN5TER's accent; they've been accused of being American more often than not, and even I thought they were until I actually sat down and listened lol 😂 In my opinion, the Afton kids having their father's accent is not only possible (and common in first-generation immigrant households; hispanics, anyone?), but it's also a really smart design choice. It tells the audience that whoever is speaking must be an Afton, since they have a British accent like William. Oh, and I feel like I should mention that Utah has the highest population of Brits out of all 50 of the states. The Aftons were most definitely not black sheep, especially in Hurricane.
All good points! I know the real work explanation for the accent is because the voice actor apparently went for a stereotypical evil sounding voice (like old twirling mustache evil), and that led to him making afton British. This then helps to identify an afton from the accent, which is a pretty nice design, in my opinion.
I personally haven't watched much of F1NN5TER, but I could tell there was some accent, but I assumed it was an American accent, just one from somewhere I'm not from.
Also kinda wild that of all the states, Utah has a high British population. I would've assumed New York or California due to them having the "big cities."
I accept that into my headcanon. Fits with his generally cold calculated demeanor & the (maybe) separation of Vanny's parents as told by the therapist tapes
I'm glad you like the theory, and you're adding it to your headcannon! Also, I guess it could give more of an explanation for Vanny in the story.
I've looked into this same topic, and have come to the conclusion the answer goes back to Utah and the state's history, as it has one of the highest British population of any state in the US. Hurricane, UT is even pronounced Her-Ah-Kun influenced by the liverpudlian accent, this is cause many early settlers of Utah were immigrants hailing from the British Isles. So we can trace William and his kids accents back to when the first British families immigrated to Utah and settled towns in Washington County.
holy shit i actually didn't know this (besides the pronounciation bit--knew that one lol) thank u !!
I didn't know this either! Makes sense, though, with how hurricane is pronounced.
it's actually because the actor for William tried to do a trickster shady guy that sells you some haunted item in a store that once you come back to is gone type tone/voice, so he did a British accent,
Damn I really like that theory. Perhaps even more than mine.
I think there might be a more interesting, practical, Doyelist answer to why they are British that starts with the "cool voice over." After that is established, it's an easy and clear way to establish that "this person is an afton" in a series that doesn't have a lot of those.
So you think the aftons are British to easily distinguish them from other character? That's an interesting idea! I'm not sure if I agree with that, but I might be biased, lol. But I do think that's very interesting and I like the thought! Thanks for sharing!
I personally think it was a design choice. If all the Aftons have a British accent, then you know if its an Afton talking.
Like with Elizabeth speaking in Sister Location. A lot of people heard the accent, and with it being British like William in that part where he speaks to the board of directors, they then were able to work out that she is also an Afton.
I dont really think there's anything too massive behind it other than just a way to easily tell with just their voice who's an Afton and who isn't.
That's a very interesting theory. Someone else also said the same thing, and while I don't think it's true, I do like the theory and think it holds some weight.
couldn't focuse once vivaldis winter started playing. an absolute BANGER. Also this is. sorandom but this video reminds me of how during midnight motorist we drive on the left side of the road
Lmao, maybe I should play that music more then. Also you're the second person to point out the cars drive on the other side which is really interesting cause I've never noticed it until today and I don't think any theorist I've watch has mentioned it.
The issue I have with the Ballora thing is what if there was no mom to begin with? The kids could have been adopted, and Ballora needing to be Mrs. Afton is very convenient just to answer who she is since she's the only animatronic like her (besides baby)
Oh also I feel the pain of having black clothing with a white animal, lint rollers don't work
I was considering this too for a bit. I think I didn't go through with making a theory on it because I went a bit insane and forgot adoption is an option and resorted immediately to "they're all robot kids." Might have to re visit the theory now that I'm getting proper sleep, lol.
Also, yes, the fur is really bad. My apartment's washing machine also sucks so everything is sprinkled white fur forevermore.
Michel is highlighted to look exactly like William, which rules out him being adopted, there's no way those two things aren't mutually exclusive, ergo there has to be a mother somewhere in all this. And I refuse to throw out the "animatronic person" thing at this like the crutch it is.@@TerminalError
That's true, idk how I always forget they look alike. Also, I don't think robot people is a cruch. Maybe my particular theory where they all are robots sucks but I don't mind the idea of someone in the franchise being a robot
@@prosecutorwalton WDYM they look alike? We have like only 1 cannonical shot of Michael and it's a black outline from the end of SL. We don't have a representation of either of the characters physically so we don't know how similar they really are. William has been shown as nothing but either a rotting corpse or "why he ourple"
Maybe but i do think its also possible for William and his kids to just go sometimes back and fourth from the uk to the us and vise versa i mean i am dutch italian myself and i was born raised in the netherlands but my father is italian and i sometimes go to italy with him and my sister so Maybe its a similar story for William and his kids
I was thinking that too, and then I thought that maybe William wouldn't be able to make time for these trips. At this point in William's life, he's co running fredbears Family Diner and Freddy fazbears pizza. He also might be working on starting Circus Baby's restaurant at this point, and he has to make time for his hobby of killing kids. I still think the uk trips are possible but are unlikely unless William has REALLY good time management skills.
I think this theory is headed in the right direction and that the idea of them not being in school for experiments is very good. But I don't think any of them are put into chambers. It might have something to do with the sound illusion discs. In SL, we see the FNAF 4 house through the camera's. This implies that the house is very much real. This house (with Mrs. Afton gone), William could do whatever he wanted, like you said. It's possible that the FNAF 4 player, not the crying child but during the nights, could indeed be a collection of all 3 kids. Or maybe only 2. Elizabeth is dead by then so... Maybe the Crying Child is there during the first 5 nights and then on the 5th night, William filled with rage, experimented on Michael. Who knows?
Hell yeah! I'm glad you liked the theory!
So I do realize "chamber" was a bit of an over exaggeration of what the kids are put into, but my current interpretation of the Lore is that the kids are put into a fake home for the tests. I don't think it's to the extreme that the books describe it (doors drawn on the wall, speaker with running water sounds, fake refrigerator, etc) but I don't think this is the real afton house. I only think this because the sister location map shows the main fnaf 4 layout in the top right, and the plushtrap minigame in the bottom left. So either the aftons have a very large house with a really weird layout, or they are 2 separate experiments the William set up.
Also, I have heard a similar interpretation of who we play as in fnaf 4, and it makes a lot of sense. If we play as cc the first few nights, it would give him the fears we see towards the animatronics in the minigames, and if we play as Micheal in the last few nights where nightmare fredbear shows up, that can be looked at as a punishment for Micheal due to him getting cc killed.
I agree! It would also explain the house when CC is roaming around when we aren't in the night portion of the game.Possibly the real Afton house?@@TerminalError
That I'm a little hesitant to say. On the one hand, including the house, the road leading to fredbears, fredbears, and other kids seems unlikely, but on the other hand, that's all still included on the map as well. I want to say the house is real because it'll make things easier, but I don't think we can rule out it all being some elaborate experiment.
But I'm just gonna assume it's the real house because having all that be set up for some experiment seems like a lot of work.
Bro started with a meme Theory and ended cooking one of the best modern FNaF Theories
Sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of eyes...
You're not wrong. It's a big reason why I try watching a lot of different theorists. Someone else's perspective might hold the key or, at the very least, look at the problem in a different way and make me think a little differently about the problem.
@@TerminalError Yeah and then there's the Twitter users who immediately dismiss it as BS for no reason 😂
I think they dismiss things like this because it's either a very small detail and think it doesn't matter it the larger timeline or it conflicts with what they believe the timeline is.
I think it is more accurate to say that they have an accent because William may have gone to other countries and may have started to gain his accent through that. The reason I think he may have been going to other places is because he may have been getting special equipment/resources that are not found where he lives. When he got children they may have gained the accent from him like you said. I don’t think this is very likely compared to other theories but that’s just what I think.
The only problem I have with this theory is I don't see William having the time to travel after starting Freddy's or fredbears. Fredbears starts and from fnaf 4 we see that William is helping someone into a suit and filling in for the day guard. Adding on starting the Freddy's location, attempting to start Circus baby's, taking care of 3 kids, and having a serial killer hobby, on top of any other responsibilities we don't know about and im suprised the guy can even sleep tbh. But it's not a bad theory, and I'm sure there's a reason that could make my argument for it invalid.
Or another easy option, Scott wanted for the Afton family to have British accent because is a cool detail, but didn't thought any further in how it could be realistically possible. Not that he "just si happened to hire British voice actors" by mere coincidence, because if you only put it that way of course you made it sound like what you are putting in the table could be true
I personally don't think Scott put no thought into who voiced the aftons. To me, it doesn't make sense that he puts all the thought and effort into the story of fnaf and then drops the ball when it comes to the voices of the characters when them coming from a different country could drastically change how we know the story.
@@TerminalError I didn't said he put no though on it, I just said he possible didn't think on it as much as others want to believe
I would still disagree. Scott puts a lot of thought into the series, and I wouldn't expect his choice in voice actors and actresses to be any less important than let's say the color of text used to tell which character is speaking.
@@TerminalError the voices as as important as any other stylistic choice in the characters designs, to characterize them and tell us about the vibe Scott wants to give us for each of them, like making Afton Purple, giving Michael a fox mask, giving Elizabeth a pink shirt and a bow, they do are important I'm no saying otherwise, but is not as important to solve massive plot holes that we didn't knew for years. In any work of fiction there are a lot of superficial reasons why someone would give a certain accent to their character and you don't need to think that deep to figure out what could they be.
I think many of these stylistic choices have Lore significance, however. Like Mike's foxy mask coming from the torn foxy plush in CCs room and him jumping out from behind furniture to scare him being a direct nod to foxy jumping out of the closet. And yes, while this singular piece of evidence doesn't absolutely change the understanding of fnaf, it does give more context to the entire at large. From Williams' accent, we can say that he's an immigrant, but giving the kids accents when they are growing up in Utah tells a side of the story I don't see any theorists talk about.
good theory
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Ok hear me out this is gunna suck but it's true. Scott Cawthon is a cannon character in the fnaf universe as of fnaf world and more officially in help wanted 1. That is 100% confirmed no arguments can be made they even show his picture and everything. They claim that he was a rouge indie developer spreading lies based on the rumors and folklore around the town. They then hired him to make the helpwanted1 experience and used him to help cover up things he showed that were false and some things that were at least based in truth. Fnaf 1-6 are all videogames that are in the Fnaf universe. THIS is why so many things have parallels and mixed up or approximate details between the games the movie and the books. The reason the lore in the games contradicts itself from 1-6 alone is not only because Scott IRL was making it up as he goes along but so was rouge indie Scott. But he kept the 1-6 games "cannon" to the game's universe, however this makes the continuity of the games and the books different up until stuff went 3D for the games. I imagine most of the lore we can actually verify to any degree is what information the public had actual access to from real people in the world like Henry and Michael if they even existed as we knew them and if those are their names. But other than that the games were just theories the fnaf universe agreed on put into playable form. I know I get it, it sucks we all loved fnaf 6's ending we all loved Michael's speech and adore William's snake oil salesman voice but that's the problem. Why was all the Afton family British? And then suddenly not British? Why was baby built by henry in the books but William built it in the games? Why does the movie seem to have the family members all switched around from the games? The dates and events don't even line up half the time. And the reason? William was cunning and sly. He stole everything from everyone he could to feed his God-Complex ego and it worked. Every invention every Date every Detail even henry's own children were twisted and under his control in such a way that even the public eye thought he was smarter than he actually was. Looking back as if the 1-6 games are an in universe parallel to the real fnaf universe makes waaaay more sense than I want it to but it fits. Every time someone takes Revenge in this series it makes shit worse. So why did the perfection of fnaf6 suddenly not happen in security breach? Because Henry Failed and the world thought he died a heroic death along with Michael as Vengeful Heros. That's not what happens and it never was. Henry was arguably crazier than William at a time according to the books just the shit with the robot daughters alone was insane. Go back through everything ALL of it even Fnaf World and keep in mind that everything we think we "know" about old Fnaf is ALL parallels to a truth that nobody knows all of yet not even in the fnaf universe.
So, I think a lot of theorists currently have some version of this theory in their understanding of current fnaf. Rye toast likes to say that if anything from help wanted 1 forward conflicts with the previous Lore, then the new Lore is what we work with.
I personally think something pretty similar. We should work with what we have until something in the future changes the Lore, but I don't think that means fnaf 1-6 can be looked at as inconsistent and unreliable. As tape girl says, fazbear hires Scott to cover up the real-life tragedies. While the games are confusing, there doesn't seem to be many contradicting things. Now, looking across all of fnaf, that's a different story, because the books can't even keep the same consistency with themselves.
Now the thing with Scott throwing himself into the Lore that's confusing to me is how much of what he's done is canon. The real world has games, books, and a movie, but the games and books both make it seem like the indie developer only worked on games, and not all the games we have either. To my knowledge, the books and games only reference Scott making fnaf 1-4, leaving the in game world canonisity of sister location and pizza Sim up for debate.
Nevertheless, this is a very interesting take on the current fnaf Lore, and I definitely think we'll get some more references to the old Lore not being true.
Edit: Neo Nobody actually put out a video that seems to cover this topic (I'm currently watching it now, you should too if you havent already), and Scott has apparently said that he isn't cannon to the Lore. While it is a picture of him and he describes the person as an indie game dev, he has stated that it isn't canonically him. I don't think this disproves what you were saying, but I just thought I should note it since I just finished the original response and then started watching this video covering the same topic.
Solving failures LoL 😂😂😂😂
they are British cuz PJ Heywood did a British accent for William, the rest are British so the player knows when an Afton is speaking, this is stated outright on Dawko' interview with PJ Heywood
also Freddbear, Witherd Chica & Bonnie, all of the Toys, all of the Classics, all of the Nightmares, & all of the Funtimes except for the Bidybab are not British that carpet bombs the entire timeline into being in America
That would explain why people keep commenting that. I still feel like there needs to be an in-universe explanation for the accents, but I do like that they did it to distinguish the aftons from other speakers.
Also, I hope I didn't make it sound like I think the games take place outside of the US because I know they take place in Utah.
I've been asking this question since 2016, where the FUCK is my video? Jk but seriously, I've always thought that the Afton's had recently moved to Utah recently due to the youngest of the Afton's having a British accent, which made the timeline very rough to pinpoint for me since the Afton's had to have moved to the US long ago enough to open a restaurant, but recently enough that their 6ish year old still has an accent from their country, but the idea of them being homeschooled makes it a lot easier since no public schools means less interruptions to their accent development. I also thought that maybe Elizabeth has a hybrid of a transatlantic accent and a British accent due to the times she'd be born in, and living with a British family, but even then the transatlantic accent was dying out by the 1980's. The last option I thought of was that in the FNAF universe, British accents were just super common in the western states like Utah, or that the transatlantic accent evolved into being a British accent rather than dying out. Any of these possibilities could work, but I do think it would've been cool if William himself only had a British accent, giving him this "man who traveled to the US to live the American dream" whole shtick and have everyone else in the family have American accents. Hoping one day we'll get an answer as to why they're bri'ish
It's always kind of bothered me too but I think I like manh others just sort of accepted they were British and threw the question away until Ludwig and a few other content creators made some comments about them being British.
I also thought for a bit it was possible for the afton kids to be born in the uk if William kept visiting his old home, but visiting and living are completely different and I don't think the kids would get such a thick accent from just visiting. Plus, with William working on fredbears, Freddy's, and Circus Baby's, I doubt he would have much time to visit the uk, especially when factoring in his hobby of killing kids.
I feel like it's possible for us to get an answer, especially if we get a game involving Fall Fest, but I also think because it's such a small detail, steel wool mightve forgot themselves since I don't think burntrap has an accent in the security breach trailer (assuming that is in fact burntrap speaking and that it's still canon).
Imagine if right when matpat retires a new fnaf game relases
I could definitely see Scott throwing something together over the past few months just to release something for matpats retirement
@@TerminalError Ultimate Scott move
i'm sorry i can't focus on anything being said here i just keep thinking about how you saluted at 1:18 and i tried to do the same and simply can't bend that way. are you double jointed or am i just incredibly inflexible??
I dont think im double jointed, lol. I did just ask someone else to do it to see and they couldn't do it so I might just be super flexible
elizabeth is shown to go to kindergarten though
Is she? I didn't know that. When is that shown?
@@TerminalError In The Fourth Closet, there is a flashback scene where Elizabeth's obsession with Baby begins.
At the beginning of it, she is bringing an art project she made in kindergarten to William, who at first ignores, then hits her. He then turns away, and works on Baby.
It then cuts to Elizabeth copying Baby's makeup on her own face, having stolen lipstick from her Teacher's purse
Well, the books are in their own continuity that's separate from the games. They are very similar to one another but aren't the same. Like the character Sammy in the books is never mentioned in the games, so it's most likely he does not exist in that continuity.
Due to that, I think the games don't have her going to school, or if she does, she gets pulled out pretty quickly. But as matpat says, that's just a theory, a game theory, so I could be wrong about it.
@@TerminalError Fair enough. I just wanted to bring up something that goes against the Homeschooled theory
That's also fair. Everyone's interpretation of the timeline will be different depending on which stories you pull inspiration from. I'd love to hear other theories as to why they have the accents in universe and not just "it makes it easier to identify if they are an afton."
WASH YOUR JACKET 😭
edit: cool vid 👍
The washers in my apartment are awful. Plus, it seems like my cats KNOW when my clothes are clean and I need them to stay clean.
Also, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hyper Droid's link hasn't appeared yet, are you sure it is a public project?
As far as I'm aware, yes. I also haven't heard much from the progress of the project, so they might just have a lot of submissions from creators that they are sorting and editing
@@TerminalError Dude that new video got you a whole new wave of popularity!
I know. It's hard to keep up with comments right now. But things will probably calm down here soon.
@@TerminalError Maybe quitting your job and working full time on FNAF Isn't as far as we thought it would be ;)
Lint Roller
Yes thank you
I feel like Afton doesn’t HAVE children, biologically, anyways
So are you thinking they are adopted or that he created them somehow? Like robots or something
Considering the fact Michael directly states that the funtimes confused him with William means he looks like him, and dont pull the “they confuse everyone with William!1!1!1!” because for the other games they thought the guard was an endo, means he’s William’s biological son, William just doesnt want to admit it just like how Vlad said the child wasnt his in mike’s favorite show.
I'm not sure if the animatronics actually think you're an endo or not. Fazbear likes covering up the truth and blaming the animatronics actions on faulty code could just be a way for them to not get sued if someone actually gets hurt.
