    The most common alternative theory to the ball pit being a time machine is that the ball pit is a reservoir full of the Agony of William Afton's victims so Oswald is immersed in the memories and PitBonnie is a demon made of Agony that wants Oswald and his loved ones to join the reservoir. But that's just a...you know the rest, LMAO! I just suspend my disbelief with FNAF now because the ideas are just too wild for me to think deeply about.

      @@eiscreme3116 In a weird way, I kind of get the impression that it's meant to be both.
      A strange sort of agony/remnant fueled time travel, in which PitBonnie (a strange manifestation of Agony) attempts to commit murders in the past.
      There's no way for PitBonnie to be Afton, and the good ending seems to support it being some sort of Agony manifestation - but like you mentioned, there is definitely actual time travel happening, as we see with the broken door or the rat that we take from the past.

    Hi! Big fan of the vids you make! Something important to note is that the Ballpit has been explained
    TLDR: The BallPit is a memory realm made through Remnant
    at the end of each Fazbear Frights book is a series of epilogues called the 'Stitchwraith Stingers'
    these are an ongoing story that connect to only some of the Frights stories with one of the main ones being Into the Pit
    If you read through the epilogues (mainly the later ones), it's revealed that the Ballpit contains TONS of a substance called 'Remnant'
    Remnant is what it sounds like- its the remnants, whatever was left over, from something that is or was alive
    Powerful Emotions and Memories can both lead to Remnant manifesting
    Remnant has the ability to infect something and make it almost real and alive again, although a bit different-
    Side Track:
    bring in Eleanor, the main antagonist from the Frights story 'To Be Beautiful', and twist antagonist of thee Stitchwraith Stingers
    Eleanor has a special heart shaped pendant made of Remnant (Remnant infused metal turned into the pendant)- this Pendant is able to cause a supernatural faccade on its wearer
    in 'To Be Beautiful', Eleanor slowly dismembers a girl while she sleeps day after day- the girl does not notice because she is wearing the Pendant, making her body seem normal- once the pendant is removed, the girl crumbles into a pile of trash, meanwhile Eleanor steals back the pendant and she gains the appearance of the girl
    Later on in the Stitchwraith Stingers- it is revealed through going inside the Ballpit, that it is filled with the remnant of Eleanor's previous victims (dead and alive)
    this allows our main protagonist, Detective Larson, to travel through the memories of each victim, letting him interact with the world, but it never changes what really happens
    Conclusion:
    The BallPit is full of remnant, we do not really timetravel- we visit a memory, the memory of the Missing Children's incident, a source of Agony (a very powerful kind of Remnant)
    PitBonnie is not Afton and he is not our Dad, PitBonnie is a manifestation of Remnant, a demon comprised of Memories- PitBonnie is what Afton is seen as, a Monster
    How is PitBonnie seen as Afton's dad?: see 'To Be Beautiful', Remnant is able to mask physical appearance through a memory (how does PitBonnie know how to drive? Memories)
    Extra Facts + ITP Game Spoilers:
    The Stitchwraith, 'Count the Ways', 'To Be Beautiful', and 'Fetch', all appear in the Into The Pit game- this means that the Stitchwraith Stinger Epilogues and stories connected, are canon to the ITP game and mainline timeline
    Memories are a big theme within the Frights Epilogues, its very much worth reading them in order to understand Remnant and how the BallPit works
    things like the MCI victims being killed in a party room, as well as other differences, are explained through the BallPit being a memory realm- it does not change or retcon anything
    the Memory Realm cannot affect anything in the real world unless that thing is physically brought there (usually)

    I wonder if we are adding rules to a scenario where they dont apply;
    Its not the grandfather paradox, because nothing happened to his dad before the current Oswald did what he did.
    (If my dad got kidnapped tomorrow, I would still exist.)
    Its only if he was kidnapped before the trigger (entering the ball pit), then its a causality issue.
    Instead its more of an elaborate kidnapping
    Pittrap taking Oswalds dad out of the present into the past, then using tech to look like him [insert posivility of Mind Illusion Disc here]
    Oswald then works to get his dad free from the past and take him back to the present.
    The ball pit is a stationary object, that allows Oswald to go back to the past, but time moves at the same rate as ours (you can't go from Day 4 to Night 1 in the past).
    TLDR;
    The method of the dad-napping isn't creating a paradox by itself, nor do the actions of the past seemingly change the world to a problematic state.
    (We burn that pizzaria when we get there)

    What if PitTrap had an illusion disk.
    (I think that the boock was written around the same time as the novels.) That could explain why Oswald on the book sees PitTrap but everyone else his dad. The disk makes them see what they think they should see.
    But it is interesting that when Oswald calls his mum that there is something wrong with his dad, she sees him perfectly fine. If someone in my family told me that something is wrong with a very close family member, I would think of maby a shift in his personality, maby he is ill (assuming a kid called). I would think of something unusual and when i would get home I would see PitTrap as I imagined the person would be - something is wrong.
    But in the novels the illusion disks do what they want. Causeing the same hallucinations to different people. Making the animatronics look friendly to ALL customers. (Why don't some of them see monsters - animatronics ate creepy and people should imagine how they look before seeing them). What is with the cameras when they take pictures of a object with a illusion disk. (Why didn't it caused issues with taking photos with the animatronics.) ...🤔

    • @justjuniorjaw

  • @ciboria1

    The only time ITP uses causality is for its good effect; bringing an unused item from the past to the present to solve a puzzle.
    Springtrap didnt "become" Oswalds dad (as in didnt rewrite the timeline), he simply dad-napped him and took his place in the present while the OG dad is stuck in the past.
    Unless the younger (pre-game) Dad got hurt/would not be able to become the man who then had a son named Oswald, its not a paradox.
    Imagine if Back to The Future was Biff yoinking Marty's dad from the present, putting on a costume to look like him; Marty would not disappear from that.
    Because he's already born and an independent individual from his dad.

  • @MrAppleSalad

    It can't be a dream, Pit Bonnie bites Oswald's arm at the end of the game / story and in both instances his dad notices it and comments on it. In the game there's also an ending where Pit Bonnie kills Jeff, so it's clearly not dreamt up by Oswald. It's more likely that the ball pit is where Afton hid one of the bodies of the kids he killed, and now the pit is filled with spirit juices that latch to Oswald when he jumps inside. He lives through the memories of the kids that suffered at the hands of Afton, and Pit Bonnie is a child's interpretation of the monster that killed them.

  • @philipharwood5201
    @philipharwood5201 2 місяці тому

    My theory for how Springtrap becomes Oswalds dad is that when Springtrap drags his dad into the ball pit, from Springtraps perspective any amount of time occurred within the ball pit. And as such Springtrap would have an endless amount of prep time. Whether that be turning Oswald's dad into a robot, uses an illusion disc or whatever. And then once he's done, Springtrap emerge from the ball pit at the exact point he first enters, where Oswald pulls him out. However when Oswald enters the ball pit, he enters at a time before Springtrap even left. Which also explains why Springtrap seeming exists in both 1985 and the future simultaneously. And after Oswald rescues his dad, Springtrap never manages to fulfil his plan and thus the Springtrap from the future ceases to exist, and everything returns to normal... besides the broken Springtrap tangled up in the ball pit ropes lol. But, I hope my explanation makes sense, and i explained it well

  • @Niko__01

    This is more a logical or philosophical argument, but I've always liked the argument for time travel (I forget the name for it) that, if you go back in time, you can't really change anything, like killing your father, because if you do that... it's the past, it already happened. Anything you go back in time to do, you already did, you just don't know it until you go back in time and do it.
    You can't alter the past, except in the ways that you already have because the past already happened. If you went back to the past, anything you did there already happened in relation to the present.

    Wouldn't a simpler explanation be; Ballpit = temporal shortcut to Freddy's in 1985?
    It only starts working as the fridge upon Oswalds first trip
    Each trip is temporally locked between present - 1985
    (Time passes at the same time, minute by minute. Or at least within the same day/night cycle)
    We dont need to include Many Worlds Interpretation, because its not relevant in the setting. (As far as we know with the evidence presented in-game):
    - We dont suddenly see the kids we saved as adults in present day
    - The mill is shut down in present, but brand new in the past.
    - We only need branching timelines if butterfly effects occur
    Oswald is simply a time tourist as far as we know.

  • @Doddser

    I disagree with your interpretation of the grandfather paradox as related to Into the Pit. The Pit Monster's actions do not prevent Oswald from having entered the ballpit in the first place. Oswald goes in, Oswald comes out, his dad gets kidnapped and replaced by the Pit Monster, and then Oswald eventually rescues his father. Nothing about that is nonlinear. If the Pit Monster had somehow replaced his dad as a child and then became Oswald's dad as a result, THAT might mean it was a grandfather paradox, but as it stands all the events that play out between the three characters occur linearly.
    If we removed time travel entirely and just said the ballpit took you to another location, the same events could occur. The Pit Monster is just somehow tricking people into THINKING he's Oswald's dad, but he's not somehow cosmically replaced him throughout time. Other people can't see him as a yellow bunny, only Oswald can.
    I think it's pretty hilarious that your interpretation involves countless people thinking that a big bunny man with sharp teeth is just totally normal.
