The Crying Child: The Shattered Soul || FNaF Theory

- Over the years, I have tackled this topic multiple times, but I think with this answer I'm pretty confident. This video is all about the crying child and trying to solve what happened to him following the events of FNaF 4.
As for how the missing children connect to the bite victim, could the children he sees on the way home from fredbears in fnaf 4 be the missing children? The girl with the toy chica has a red bow and pink shirt like susie. Also the Toy Chica minigame in Fnaf 3 brings Susie to the Happiest day party. The laughing kid on the floor im pretty sure is the Freddy bully so ignore him. That leaves 4 children. Balloon kid, toy chica girl, pigtail girl and finger trap boy. There are also 4 children who join the happiest day party. Some of these kids even say "see you at the party!" but they never show up on night 5...but they do for happiest day, a recreation of that very party. Food for thought.
@williamcollis455 that laughing kid is indeed the Freddy bully.
You make a great observation because those children outside have references to the minigames of fnaf 3, and the children even appear in the opposite order you have to play those games in.
Balloon kid -- BB's Air Adventure
Toy chica kid -- Chica's Party World
Pigtail girl -- Stage 01
Plushtrap kid -- RWQ's minigame
William may care about his kids.I think it’s pretty clear that William is very clearly disturbed so he could “love” at least CC and Elizabeth in a weird,broken,twisted way.
In The Silver Eyes, he says that he's finally experienced "love" in reference to his pride in causing the MCI to possess the FNAF1 animatronics. He's later shown to have been abusive towards Elizabeth, his only child in the books.
If he did love them I think it was more as objects/tools than as people
Literally every piece of media that shows him interacting with his children shows he doesn't give a shit about them though
Not to mention he's consistently portrayed as pure evil
@@Autumn_Actually Which is just feel... Strange a little bit... If we take The Character Encyclopedia with a face value....
For those who don't know (Spoiler Warning for the Encyclopedia... That has been out for years....)
Elizabeth Afton is stated to be "a spoiled child".... If we take this information to the face value then.... We can conclude William abused and spoiled Elizabeth simultaneously.... (Which sounds like what he would do, TBH.)
@@Z_User-d5e that actually implies he was putting her through a cycle of abuse. he abuses Elizabeth, then spoils her to make her "forget" or ignore the abusive incident, then abuses her again and the cycle continues. this makes her obedient to him through fear and keeps her with a "positive" view of him. (it's a pretty simplified explanation, but I think my point is clear)
Very Interesting! I am very much a Goldenvictim person, but I've been considering adding Shattervictim for a good bit now.
I also Agree William isn't the final speaker, but I do have a comment about the 11:15 bit. It's more likely the Plushbear is Charlotte for ALL nights imo.
It's represented as Plushbear in the scene, and references lines only plushbear would know. "I'm still here" (Ending) "Don't be Scared, i am here with you" (Intro) "These are my friends" "We are still your friends" and so on. Also, consider that it's in BV's mindscape. The voice hes hearing he is perceiving as the Plushbear, as if to him it's the same voice. As to why it's a different text color, I'll just quote from my own videos script.
"The reason it’s different on Night 6 is that the Puppet as Plushbear and the Puppet as the Puppet should be seen as two separate roles. Everything before the last cutscene is the Puppet being Plushbear in that role. That final cutscene is the Puppet speaking as himself, with Plushbear in the scene representing him, so it’s a different color, representing the Puppet as himself."
Just wanted to give my thoughts there. I also disagree with Goldenduo and MCI85, but I really like this presentation for Shattervictim! Helped me understand it a whole lot more.
12/10 thumbnail one of my favorites from your videos ❤
For the bite victim dying earlier than the MCI, we do know that he was alive in the hospital for SOME amount of time, if we allow that the gameplay nights are not concurrent with the minigames (as the hospital easter eggs can occur before the bite), so he could have lived for a few years before passing. In fact, this could have been the incident that incites William to kill more children.
13:17 That’s clearly Mike’s drawing of Nightmare, not CC’s. Mike writes and draws in red pen and CC can only alter text.
Im aware that its Mike's drawing, my point is that the question being near that drawing indicates that he DID go through the nightmares
@ Oh that makes sense.
I don't hate the theory but I do think it's needlessly complicated. If you just remove the shattering part it works better and you don't need to explain how Dave attached to the 4 MCI victims. Let me explain:
Dave dies in 1983. For his happiest day to be complete he needs a part with his friends. Charlotte and the 4 MCI Victims. (I don't think Dave knew Cassidy as I'll explain in a minute.) Charlotte and the MCI then die. I think Afton kills Charlotte because of Henry but then goes to kill the 4 MCI kid's because they were Dave's friends. Then he kills Cassidy just cause. (This could add to the reasons why they are the one you shouldn't have killed if you believe she is.) Cassidy wasn't one of Dave's friends, Afton. just wanted to kill them.
Now I do believe that Dave and Cassidy do end up end attaching to Michael. I believe Cassidy attaches to him during FNAF 2 or 1 and Dave during Sister Location. Cassidy attaches via Michaels interaction with Golden Freddy and Dave via his interaction with the Fredbear Plushie. (I don't think it makes scene for Dave to possess Fredbear as he didn't die next to Fredbear, he died next to the plushie that we know is possessed in someway.)
At this point Charlotte starts doing everyone's Happiest Days. I believe the FNAF 3 Minigames aren't nessissarily setting up Dave's Happiest Day, I think those are the MCI Victims' Happiest Days. Reliving the memories of the last time they saw there friend Dave before his death. Then once they are free, they can help Dave by showing up to his Happiest Day, his party. Cassidy isn't there because she didn't know Dave and wasn't need for him to move on.
In addition I think the Happiest Day we see in FNAF World is Micheals Happiest Day after which takes place when all 3, Micheal, Dave, and Elizabeth rest.
I dub this "Party" Victim as the party was for him.
That completely ignores the "I will put you back together part." The shattering really isnt that complicated, and it makes complete sense since interacting with each memory frees a missing child
@@ImpulseEvan37 I see "I will put you back together" more as having to put the memories back with the children and giving them their Happiest Day.
Plus, I haven't really seen a solid explanation for why Crying Child is shattered or how they get connected to the rest.
That doesnt really have anything to do with putting the bite victim himself back together. And I gave a couple explanations for why it would happen in the video and I think they work well
@@ImpulseEvan37 But it does, though. Putting the child back together with their lost memories would constitute the phrase, "Put you back together."
That would still indicate the memories are attached to those kids
The putting back together makes sense as well when thinking of candy cadet story.
She had the key to free the CC but tried to free everyone.
Which was the pieces soul of cc as memories & mini ganes
This is a really good theory, well done with all these connections.
Okay hold up! I do think Soul Shattering is a cool concept. BUT there’s definitely some questionable things about it. I’ll start with my most obvious problem. HOW did the BV gets shattered? The bite? I found that a bit odd. Look at how Andrew got shattered. His makes sense. Because while he was in William body. The body itself exploded into goo and got on multiple different Fazbear items. That goo comes from both Andrew and William containing their essence so they both got shattered into pieces. But the BV is different. He got and bite and died. But the only place where any of essence could have gone would be in FredBear. It’s not like his blood went all over the place and got stuck on a lot of different things. That’s the only way this Shatter Theory could work. Maybe someone put his blood on the other places. This could work. But who would do that and why would they?
there is another way: shedding your memories
@ Why would CC shed his memories tho?
I mean… I talked about that in the video lol
He shed his tears with the four neighborhood children, spreading his agony with them and they keep a piece of his soul even after he and they die. They become the missing children.
@@ImpulseEvan37 No offense, but you explain in the most complex way possible. I heard someone once said, if you need that much complexity to make a theory fit. It’s might not be true.
(Sorry for bad English) I am exploding all over my screen because of this theory
Greta video! I’m pretty much in agreement with everything you’ve said when it comes to crying child and where his spirit ended up. I genuinely think it’s some weird mix between Shattervictim and memoryvictim.
My only thing would be there has to be more involvement with Cassidy. I mean why else would she be asking crying child questions within the logbook if she didn’t have something to do with FNAF World? With that being said I do believe Charlie definitely is the mastermind of some sorts to this, so I’m not so sure what’s really going on.
Regardless all of this makes more sense than William being the final speaker in FNAF 4 lmao.
Cassidy is likely the player character in FNaF world
Human liquid and agony also spread onto people/object.
When CC gets bitten, blood/soul juice would go on Mike
Excellent video! I’ve been a fnaf fan since before fnaf 2 and I never understood shattervictim until now lol
The backing track is a banger. Been bobbing along the whole time.
Cassidy is the glitch bear
She absolutely is not lol
Why couldn't Cassidy be glitch bear?@@ImpulseEvan37
Cassidy is probably the player character of FNaF World's Clock Route
Candi Buunny on YT theorized this in one of her videos
@@Shadowdev5055 because Cassidy isn’t the final speaker and the glitchbear is
@@ImpulseEvan37 ok...
I always come back
I do love this theory Evan, and I do think Shattervictim is true, but I agree with RyeToast’s interpretation of Shattervictim, and I do still think William was the final speaker in FNAF 4, and the different color text is him using his own voice, and for the first 5 nights, he used a Fredbear impression, and Charlie probably heard William say that so that’s why she said it in FNAF World, and I do still think Dave was the first to die, not Charlie, and Michael was the one who went through the Nightmare Experiment, as they were recreations of Dave’s own nightmares due to Michael bullying him, and William wanting to experiment further with fear created the chamber and the illusion disc’s (I really don’t like the whole “fear gas” thing, that’s a little bit too Scarecrow like for William to do) and just as William was about to place Dave in that chamber, the bite happened, and William in his own mind “punished” Michael by putting him in those chambers. As for William saying that, I think that he saw the bite not as a accident, but an inconvenience and he only saw his kids as a way to keep up with appearances and to eventually pass on the Fazbear franchise to. And as for William killing Charlie, it could be that he saw Fredbear’s getting closed, his dream being destroyed, and his son’s death as all Henry’s fault, and the whole “William being jealous thing in TSE” as well, and he went to Freddy’s (as that’s where I think Charlie died) and killed her outside one rainy night on October 31st 1983, and I also think that’s when Midnight Motorist happens as well, and Michael was the runaway running to his brothers own grave in the middle of the woods (as in the FLAF demo, we saw that the mound of dirt is box like, so it has to be a grave) and William would place him back in the Nightmare Experiment chamber to further punish him into submission so he could control him to do his bidding. And I think I ramble on enough Evan, so sorry you have to read a block of text, but still as I said at the start, I do love your theory
I don't understand ShatterVictim, too complex, but I loved listening to you yapping (like always), and it somehow makes nonsensical sense with unlogical logic, so... yes.
I used to believe GoldenVictim but I believe shattervictim nowz
So a part of BV’s soul being in Golden Freddy makes sense.
I agree with your points, great job. I have another interpretation though and I feel it can fit just as nicely.
Basically the same as your theory but it can be that it's possessed by Dave and we are seeing his memories before he died with the Puppet speaking out to Dave with the plush he possesses in those memories. .
Think about it, at the end we immediately hear Dave on his death bed implying he was there the whole time.
William spying on CC is 100% confirmed via Sister Location and The Real Jake and who would be dead at that point to possess Phycic Friend Fredbear beside Charlie so it must be this option.
The MCI kids were trapped in a false memory in the Novels so why can't CC be living his memories over and over again.
William could be the final speaker and glitch bear if after charile death and her possession the puppet William will know about possession and apartments his son to put his spirit back together and the whole point of FNAF world is William putting BV memories pieces along with his shatter soul to the MCI kids and making him whole again
Love the theory,shadow Freddy and Eleanor idk I think they’re the same but just different entities in places like a version of two people who exist in different eras saying this because how they both function and work other than aftons evil is eh,but other than that like it,the
And here's where i continue to spread my personal smoking gun when it comes to shattervictim:
Molten freddy's voicelines
Go listen to them with both moltenmci and shattervictim in mind
It's literally the crying child
Shyly thanking the others for letting him join the party which also serves as a reference to both his own party and happiest day
Reacting with joy upon seeing michael "oh, what a pleasant surprise!" "together again!"
That second one is even a pun on the fact that he's literally together again after shattering
"One big happy family!"
The others in pizzeria simulator are michael, elizabeth, william and charlie and henry who the aftons were no doubt very close to before everything went to shit
Molten freddy is the only odd one out and yet the game goes out of its way to have him proclaim that he's part of the family
Because he is
Also, i accept that charlie makes way more sense as glitchbear but i will continue to hold onto my delusion that she's cassidy because i've been a filthy cassidy x crying child shipper for such a long time and i refuse to let go!!
This idea is probably not the best and well-thought-out one.But what if the crying children in the fnaf 3 Mini games are pieces of the Crying child's soul
For a little bit more contacts the reason I thought of this mini theory It's because all of them look Identical and it could give a new meaning To all of the kids at the Table Kind of like the puppet is putting the pieces of his soul back together so he can move on To the afterlife I know it's not really Well thought out But I thought I would mention it
Personally I think the bite victim is just Shadow Freddy.Hear me out.We have two characters linked to Fredbear (SF and GF).Golden Freddy is aggressive and vengeful,like Cassidy.The other is passive and docile,which suits the character of the bite victim.There are also parallels between BV and SF like the broken jaw,the lack of aggression,SF sitting in parts and services evokes BV crying in the supply closet!
@@Trainman-fx9oe I could see BV = Shadow Freddy. It gives even more context to the Fnaf 3 Follow Me games. Because you can interpret that in done interesting ways if you use that theory. One example is CC is working under his Dads orders to lure the other animatronics to be destroyed. I like that honestly. Since it mirrors Circus Baby and Elizabeth relationship with William. In all honesty CC doesn’t a reason to be against his Dad. If William was kind to him or manipulate him in his younger years.
@@sleepylmguy9968 I guess maybe that would be BV’s character arc:Having to learn and accept that the only person he thought cared about him was a sick monster who never really loved him and Michael (the bully who killed him) was the one who really loved him.
the crying child… nightmare GAS… the SHARTtered victim… heh… it’s been fart theory this whole time
NO!-
I was the first.I have seen everything.
I think if you need to over explain every single thing in the entire story to make your theory even slightly possible, it might just not be true.
I think your theory is cool. But it simply doesn't hold strong evidence. There's too many random coincidences and too many maybe's for this theory to work. But still great video.
Was that your first time swearing in a YT video?
Not even close to the first time lol
