I 100% am all in on the mascot costumes theory. It feels obvious considering the Tales Epilogues. What's really exciting is that we'll see his spider form since one of the costumes is an octopus, and the book implies he's taken that form before. I've been team Glitchbear for ages and I'm so happy someone else thinks that'll be his final outfit. The only other option (imo) is Tiger Rock since his head is installed into the Storyteller. But that was probably just Mimic1 manipulating Burrows to give him that form.
I actually think we'll play as Afton in SotM, after Dawkos stream...I think MM is set in the year 1978. This is the year The mimic story happens, and the year suggested by the fuzzy dice in FLAF (or 87 but MurrayCo disproves that). There's gotta be a reason Scott's only giving us an answer now.
@at_witts_end3470 Help Wanted 2 is one of my favourite entries in the franchise (despite me to date still never doing a video on it lmfao) so I was never going to be upset about getting more HW2 content rather than SOTM. I'm also definitely very TalesGames and FrightsGames (to an extent) but as much as I love theorising, I wouldn't mind being wrong or anything. The part that's exciting about Tiger Rock for me isn't just "Oh I was right" but more "Oh damn they might actually lean into books content more". One of the most rewarding things about getting into a franchise like this is when a reference from a more obscure piece of media appears and actually knowing what it's calling back to. For me, with how hated the books are (and how much I actually surprisingly enjoyed them!) I felt the #1 thing I wanted was for some of that content to return at some point. Seeing a Tiger Rock Plush very much opens that door and I'm super excited to see how many new callbacks get added to the games in the future. As for playing as William in SOTM, that would be super cool ngl! One of my favourite lore pieces from Ultimate Custom Night was the realisation that you were playing as William so I'd definitely be down to see his perspective of things from the start. It could honestly make an extremely impactful twist-reveal if the game masked who you were at the end. Idk maybe I'm just too attached to twist endings hahaha.
So the teaser was for HW2, but it confirmed TalesGames so....We won???

You shouldn't jump the gun just because Tiger rock is in the game doesn't mean that it's confirmed
