problems. those you believe, answer more questions than you ask or join. hanging pieces of evidence in a narrative and satisfying way Am I trying to solve the story?

Yes, am I doing it by asking really extreme and exaggerated questions, analyzing very specific details too closely and, most of the time, making connections between concepts that are probably not connected at all, absolutely yes, that affects the country, the area Theoretical can include complete and utter confusion, a deeper appreciation for your favorite franchises, fun stories to share with friends, a head full of random facts to help you in life. and disillusionment about human existence and its own place in the universe enter at your own risk disclaimers aside theorycrafting is a difficult needle to thread a good theory is one that has enough evidence to support it but not as much evidence that to be basically a known fact requires extrapolation, thinking beyond the things we're given, but not so far as to exaggerate or make unfounded claims and all that while maintaining a satisfying story, a story that stays true to the franchise you're in. speaking without being afraid to take that known story in new, often riskier directions, in many ways, elaborating theories is like writing fan fiction, you know, with more evidence and less aggressive hugs, much less aggressive hugs than some of the fan fiction. fictions I've seen.

I've been exposed over the years anyway, the reason I say all this now is that the current theory is, how do I put it, is one of the most flexible, like there are some theories that are solid as a rock, there is really solid evidence. in the game and is backed by things the developers or creators have said and there are others that require a little more creative license where the connections are there but may require you to squint a little or just have fun with it . and the journey continues and this episode is one of those theories because today we dive once again into the world of the fazbear scary series quest book 2 that you saw last time i mentioned that this quest was recently released on ISM, Well, if I'm being honest, it feels a lot less connected to the series than the first, the connections to the main story are definitely a little shaky, meanwhile, this one introduces us to a lot of new things, a smartphone-powered animatronic dog named fetch tiny free.

To me, the traveling versions of Freddy Fazbear called the lone Freddy's a little weird. Each story in the first book felt very connected to establish characters, from golden bunny outfits to a shape-shifting baby to a funny Freddy, so why was this the second book and doing so many new things? It felt like a pretty extreme change in tone, especially considering Scott had just posted about how these books would fill in some of the blanks of the past, so I thought about it and considered what blanks of the past this one might be trying to fill. strange collection of stories. fill something clicked I think there's a chance that one of the new inclusions in this book is actually something we've known about for a long time, a strange character who has confused us and blocked our theories for years.

I think there's a chance that a chance he brings to lonesome Freddy's may actually be the true identity of the naff fours' psychic friend Fred Bear, remember that stuffed animal from fanat 4 with the living eyes that followed your movements as you You walked through the room that spoke to you in the streets and disguised itself as a flower, which could really read the innermost thoughts of the crying child. I think that guy was some sort of Lone Freddy doll, but to really understand why I think these two are connected, let's start with the story of Lone Freddy to quickly summarize the story a little more. details than last time because now the details really matter for the theory, Alec is an angry teenager who is upset because his younger sister, Hazel, receives the loving affection of all their parents because she is practically perfect in every way, so that Hazel, out of nowhere, begins to be.

She's too nice to Alec and she wants to join him in making his parents miserable. He doesn't trust her. He suspects she's up to something and so he concocts a plan to expose her for being a spoiled brat at her upcoming birthday party, which happens at Don't you know that at the local Freddy Fazbear's pizza she planned it? Well, it's not particularly good and if I have to criticize this story for anything it's that the mechanics of how it all works is a little confusing, so stay with me here at Freddy's. They have a booth with a lot of money, you know, those transparent boxes with fans that throw all these tickets around you and you try to grab them and you leave with whatever you can catch in the booth and in the booth there is a special ticket that allows you to win the jackpot at the restaurant a yard crafty basically a big crafty doll with extra hooks swinging action is fine, so it looks like Hazel really wants to win the crafty yargh, so Alex sabotages our chances by drawing the special winning ticket before her. enters, except she wins by some strange magical and inexplicable miracle, the ticket ends up in her hair and the sly doll wins, the twist is that she didn't want to win it for herself, she wanted to win it for Alec, you see, Alex.

He secretly loves Freddy's Pizzeria, but never gets to celebrate his birthday there, and of all the characters he loves most, Foxy, he even pretends to be Yargh Foxy around the house when no one is looking, but when Hazel tries to give it to him as a sign of friendship. as a way to try and finally make him happy, all it does is anger him once again, outmatched by his perfect sister, Alec loses control, breaks the crafty doll and runs off to the warehouse crying, once there, he encounters a lonely Freddy doll, a free little one. -Roaming version of everyone's favorite bear, the bear hypnotizes him and then switches bodies with him, leaving Alex's consciousness forever trapped in the tacos'

body

and an AI with his face wanders freely without his family knowing, so forgive me for the detailed plot description, but I needed to get it.

All of this is because Alex's story, curiously enough, coincides quite a bit with what we see happening to the crying boy in the forest of Snaf. Now I don't think Alec is the crying boy in any way. There are too many differences here, but I wanted to point out how similar they are. these two stories are because the parallels seem intentional, they seem to invite us to compare these two stories, so let's do exactly that as infinite because there is a countdown to a birthday party at Freddy's at the end of the week, although in this case it is a sister's party and not him talking about a sister Alex, Hazel's younger sister is described as cute and perfect, with much emphasis on her green eyes and curly yellow hair, an important physical description considering Elizabeth the girl who would pass to be possesses the baby and who we assume is the crying younger sister who owns this room in Finn, a four is also blonde with green eyes, in fact eye color is mentioned a lot, unusually, throughout of Freddie's lonely story.

Quotes like this. Alec had never noticed the The bear's eyes before had always been this blue and again his eyes were as blue and deep as an ocean trench, more than 13 times our eyes in this story rated by their color, which is worth noting. Considering that a lot of the other short stories so far in Fear of Fazbear have had pretty sparse character descriptions, but this one, for some reason, really chooses to emphasize the fact that Alec and Hazel have green eyes and that loner Freddy has green eyes. blues, which if you have an obsessive level of knowledge of the series should ring a bell.

Some alarm bells in the sister location, eye color was so important that I made a whole theory about it when the sister location came out, where the animatronic baby had blue eyes until he took Elizabeth and his eyes turned green and here we have something. Quote from the story that happened very similar. Alex stared into lonely Freddy's blue eyes, eyes that had burned his soul, and searched for his own answers, but she only came away with more questions because the bear's blue eyes had suddenly turned. a light green and a quote and again in this quote all Alec could see was the bear as its new green eyes bore into him so we have a group, a sister and some eyes but obviously there has to be more Alec when His plan fails. he runs off to hide in the storage room crying similar to the crying boy being locked in the storage room by a for and overall Alec is just a grumpy, moody boy which is similar to our crying boy and secretly hates Freddy Fazbears Salic in the book.

He loves the restaurant and its characters, but he also hates it because he can only go when it's for his sister, which makes him bitter and angry for being there. He is very much like the mixed feelings that the crying boy has for the restaurants he clearly likes the franchise. I mean, he has all the toys in his room and yet, well, he's there, he's clearly miserable, we're not exactly sure why, but he has mixed feelings about this franchise, as do I, who can relate to the hashtag . I feel seen as a crying child, but for me one.

One of the most revealing connections between this story and the game is the yargh foxy toy when hazel tries to give the toy to alec alec gets scared and rips his arm off the toy, it's a small detail that immediately made me think of the foxy that is on the crying boy's phone a room fills a cunning stuffed animal with a very specific characteristic a characteristic that has never ever been explained his head was torn off so we have too cunning stuffed animals both with a

body

part torn off somehow in possession of a boy who loves and hates Freddy's who ends up locked in a warehouse crying, attends a birthday party and has a sister with green eyes and blonde hair; it's just a strangely specific series of parallels that are almost so precise that they're inviting us.

Comparing them is actually a bit strange. Alec in this story is almost like a fusion of the crying boy and his brother. He's the crying kid for all the reasons we just talked about, but also the big brother because, well, he's a bad big brother. his sister and his favorite character are so sneaky that he pretends to be sneaky around the house just like we see his older brother doing to torment the crying boy in Finn f4 again, it's not exactly the same, there are a lot of differences between these two. scenarios where there are a lot of parallel details almost like alternate universe versions of roughly the same series of events, so what does all this have to do with psychic friend fredbear?

Well, I think all these parallels with f4 are intentional, what they are drawing. lines between the two stories that invite us to compare them and when you do, it becomes deniable that psychic friend fredbear is a lonely

freddy

to understand why let's start with the book this is how

freddy

is first described quote he was a strange name for a toy but the strangest parts were harder to define the bear was rigid almost at attention his eyes were staring at the stage but alec had the strangest feeling that he was still looking at him in quotes so a little freddy toy with eyes looking at you while moving around the room definitely sounds like what a psychic friend does as we wander through the four mini-games.

His white eyes simply move with us wherever we go. They also tell us that lone Freddy can roam freely to follow us. the kids around again explain why he appears on practically every fanat screen for minigames. It is literally designed to be a moving surveillance camera. I mean, maybe he can't disguise himself as a flower or whatever, butjust chalk that up to Scott's artistic license, later in the story we are told what Lonesome Freddy's purpose is. Date again at Freddy Fazbear's. We believe no child should have to experience the wonder and delight of Freddy Fazbear's family pizzeria just using patented technology and a touch of Freddy Fazbear's Magic Freddy will learn all about your child's favorite things like a true friend and Gigi approached to his mother.

Is it just me or lonely Freddy? Some like the cure for the unwanted child. It is a mechanical last resort like no other. wants to play with this child so here is a machine that will make him end of quote this is a device specifically designed to become a friend to sad and lonely children children like the forest crying child children like Alec and in a line again drawing parallels between the two stories we get this quote. If there had ever been a child who would have been forced on a lonely Freddy at a birthday party, it would have been Alec.

Now this is important. One of the strangest things about psychic friend Fred Bear in the game. It was his knowledge of the innermost thoughts of the crying boy saying things like remember what you saw and he hates you, it's all the reason I started calling him psychic friend Fred Bear in the first place the toys the knowledge of what was going on inside the boy's head was just amazing just one of the many strange things about this character one of the many strange things about this character that gets an explanation through the behavior of lone Freddy in the story the bear approaches like in the warehouse and starts to ask questions questions that are starting to get serious quote from the book I've been waiting for you friend the bear said we should be best friends it's a stuffed animal Alec told himself it's a stuffed toy what's your favorite color my favorite color It's green what's your favorite food zanya so the Bears' questions took a different turn what would you do if they asked you to hurt someone you love?

I felt like the bear was reaching its goal. soft plush paw into his soul and extracting the answers he kept most hidden and did it effortlessly, so lonely Freddy is a teddy bear designed to act as a surveillance camera for children, follow him, talk to the sad and loners and then extract information from them to become their friend before eventually swapping bodies with them. I mean each and every one of those details - the whole body swapping is something we see psychic friend Fredbear do - but there's one last detail I have. Not included yet, the Freddys are controlled by a man who works in a private office.

Quote again, the party planner turned a dial on his hip. He clipped the walkie-talkie and pressed his finger against his earphones. Someone can't, Daryl, to do just one. Freddy demo Daryl Rumburak the fact that there is someone behind the scenes controlling these devices in the book is a direct callback to the secret private room from the sister location where there were surveillance cameras watching the end with the password 1983 was in that room where we saw a psychic friend, Fred Bear, for the first and only time in a non-8-bit environment. There, on the desk, was a small stuffed animal with its little white surveillance eyes and a walkie-talkie right next to it, coinciding with this scene from the movie. book, there you have it folks, psychic friend Fred Bear's official name is just Freddy, it's not that fun, but yeah, it's easier for me to type, so that's a plus, it's a camera system controlled by someone hidden in a rear surveillance room. who has the ability to walk and talk and maybe even hypnotize and change bodies, now the question that remains is who was controlling him in fanat because I mean, it seems like the obvious answer here should be William Afton writes who else would be doing it. but the bigger question is why would he be doing all this just to watch what we assume is his own son and then, in the world of the books, the question is if all this isn't so.

No, it seems like the employees don't really know. the true nature of these robots, is this an AI wandering around or was this a normal lonely Freddie swapped for one with body snatching abilities? That seems like the most likely scenario considering that in story number three, out of print, the stuffed trap hunter is swapped out. an evil guy with human body parts, so maybe William Afton or some of his people in this book universe are slowly pushing evil and Mitrano out into the world to run their little test cases too, since I'm finishing up my discussion on look here for something else. so you can chew at Hazel's birthday party there is a girl named Charlotte a girl who shares a name with the boy who we know owns the puppet a girl who in this story is allergic to chocolate and accidentally eats some and then passes the el rest of the party vomiting, could this really give us an explanation for why Charlotte in the games would end up outside the party, outside the restaurant, when we see her dressed as fans before she is finally killed and turned into a puppet?

It may just be a thought I was throwing it out into the universe for everyone to pick apart, but with the quest out of the way, it's time to look ahead because, according to the descriptions, books number four and

five

coming out later this year seem to contain The most important story reveals the act in the description of book four, we see that one of the main characters will have the name Suzie if she also has a dog. Suzie will almost certainly be confirmed as our fruity maze girl and our first victim, the one who continues to possess girl.

We also know that one of the four stories in the book will be about Pete and his younger brother, who fight over their parents' divorce and become victims of a horrible curse. Two brothers with divorced parents who have some blood curse on their family, it seems like they could be another substitute for our crying boy and our brother Foxy who get caught up in the cycle of serial murders that their father started decades before and then goes on. to the description quote from book number

five

in room 1280. of Herakles hospital, something evil is keeping a man alive, a man with horrible burns all over his body and an iron will to live, he looks a lot like our good friend William or it could be the aftermath of the fantastic restaurant Seas on fire with that being the last book in the scary fazbear series, I would expect one to tie up a lot of different loose ends, speaking of loose ends, by the way, I hate it, that's why this sample to get rid of the narrative loose ends to tie them up, put them neatly. and organized back on the shelf so you know what I really appreciate is that it has no loose ends wireless earbuds without wires means no nasty tangles which in turn means less stress and it's a very stressful time right now so i will take less stress anywhere i can get it and if you want to get some high quality headphones without stress and i recommend our sponsor for today's episode let's be honest we are all stuck in tight spaces these days which makes privacy a difficult to get if you want to listen to a video in private it is difficult because there is always someone around if you want to listen to music while you exercise in your room there is someone there trying to work and your music bothers you, at times like this we have a quality set of headphones It really helps you hear what you want as loud as you want and at the same time be respectful of everyone around you and the everyday rake.
