fnaf theory that i stole bc im evil

heyyyy guys whats up

so guess who fell way deeper into their fnaf obsession..? MEEEE

so i watched a bunch of videos abt lore and it made me notice something interesting, but i got this idea from someone else i just wrote into it. also idk if many people talk or have talked about it bc i haven’t been deep in fnaf lore in a while lol

and the theory is…

fnaf 4 does NOT take place in 1983. the minigames that show the crying child's story DO take place in 1983 but the gameplay takes place much later.

in fnaf sister location, in the office, if you look at the cams you will notice that behind the map that you are in, it shows other areas. these areas perfectly resemble the areas we are in during fnaf 4. this could mean that we are in an area different from the house during fnaf 4 gameplay.

furthermore, in the fnaf 4 minigames, the room that we can assume is the crying child's room does not resemble the room we play in at all. it has the same drawer, but it does not have the same layout, objects, or setup at all. this could also mean that we are not in the crying child's room during gameplay, although you could argue that we play as the older brother in fnaf 4 (which would derail this entire theory so please don't lol)

another factor that should be considered is the fact that if we are playing as the crying child, that would imply that the funtimes were created before 1983. this wouldn't make much sense because one, william had no motive to create killer robots, two, the funtimes are much more advanced than fredbear and springbonnie, and three, if the funtimes were created before 1983, how come neither fredbear or springbonnie OR any of the fnaf 1 animatronics have killer traps inside? (if anyone has a counterargument to this point especially PLZ spill)

its basically proven that fnaf 4 does not take place in the house and another thing to prove that is the hallucinogenic gas being pumped into the room.

and you can believe that we still play as the crying child and william just decided to force him into a bunker at night, but again, how and why?

so to summarize, if this is true it means:

the creation of the funtimes occurs after 1983 and after the creation of fredbear, springbonnie, and the fnaf 1 animatronics

we do not play as an afton in fnaf 4

we do not play in 1983 during fnaf 4

william afton still has possible motives for creating the funtime animatronics

if this is not true it means:

the creation of the funtimes occur before 1983 and before or somewhere between the creation of fredbear, springbonnie, and the fnaf 1 animatronics

we play as an afton in fnaf 4

we play in 1983 during fnaf 4

william afton does not have clear motives for creating the funtime animatronics (unless more is revealed in secret of the mimic)

and maybe im just DUMB, so if u have anything that disproves this PLZ tell me!!! ok byeeee
