Broke: Dear Evan Hansen Woke: Allegedly Evan Afton

I think the worst thing about FNaF is, not the dozen or so murdered children but actually, that afton is British and in Utah

I’m sorry but as an elementary school teacher I have never vibed more with a person more than “I came home, dissociated for 6 hours so hard I’m still dressed for work, and then did a deep dive into something stupid”

Astounding how blood and mucus were leaking out of robots in a place kids went missing and nobody checked the robots.

over an hour of content and i never even mentioned the third love of my life, the sun robot they gave anxiety for some reason

"Lore Dumps from Non-Fans" is the kind of Outsider Art I enjoy the most.

Just imagine realizing your teacher didn’t go home and grade your assignments, no. She went home and talked about Five Nights at Freddy’s for an hour. Honestly… best teacher ever if she was my teacher

I watched this with my autistic nephew and mom to give her an idea of what fnaf was about. She’s totally confused, but my nephew kept making me pause it to let me know that ‘Haley is right’. He was thoroughly delighted about your anti-William Afton stance and gave us all a solemn nod of praise when we asked for a review once we finished watching. So thank you for being entertaining and also helping this auntie figure out my boy’s current special interest.

Some clearing up about the bite of 87: 1) Jeremy was actually the security guard we play as in the first four nights of FNAF 2! He gets moved to the day shift before the last night, and gets chomped then (by, we assume, Mangle). 2) the reason the bite of 87 was such a big deal was because the bite of 87 was initially what we now call the bite of 83, which was when allegedly-Evan died. Scott ended up retconning 87 for 83 bc it worked better for the timeline, and made it so instead of a child being bit in 87, it was a security guard, which led to the closing of the Fnaf 2 Pizzeria.

I think my favorite small detail in this franchise is the reason that the animatronics are so aggressive towards Micheal in the games is because *he looks like William* The animatronics are directly targeting him because they think he is the one who killed them

For some reason I always assumed FNAF took place in New Jersey. I have no idea why but that’s where my brain went.

"Jonbenet Ramsey ARG" is not a string of words i'd ever thought i'd hear and yet here we are lol

as a fnaf fan. the lore just seems so normal because im desensitised but seeing someone freak out over it all is. enlightening.

I love listening to people with ADHD explain things, just discovered it's even better when they only had one hour to find out the topic they're explaining lol

Personally, I like to think that the reason William killed Henry's daughter is because Fredbear killed Evan. Michael, being a teenager horrified of what he just did, might have put the blame entirely on the animatronic. Since Henry made Fredbear, William simply assumed he was behind it.

"Golden Freddy is a girlboss" is the best sentence I've ever heard in regards to this series

Something about the camera angle makes me feel like I'm tied up in a chair while you patiently explain FNAF lore in a slightly manic tone. I love it. More please

The idea of Vanessa putting William Afton/Glitchtrap's consciousness inside his corpse as a form of malicious compliance in response to his brainwashing of her is honestly kind of hilarious. (William Afton's Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day part 2 - AI edition!)

You are mostly correct! However the bite of 83 happens, Evan dies and THEN William kills Charlotte in revenge because he blames Henry for Evans death. He kills Charlotte by luring her out by herself and then killing her, the puppet comes out and Charlotte possesses the puppet. Which helps explain the Henry monolog :)

43:44 I thought everyone agreed that was Micheal, I'm pretty sure every night guard was Micheal trying to fix what his dad did. Every game ends with you being fired for messing with the robots (to try to free the kids) and stinking (because you're a rotten corpse). FNAF 3 ends with him setting the building on fire to try to get rid of William once and for all.

Haley unapologetically defending Michael Afton is probably why youtube recommended me this channel. Subbed

Gotta say, as someone who is absolutely obsessed with fnaf, this is mostly correct!!! The only things that are incorrect is Jeremy whats-his-face was a employee, not a child And, severely unfortunately, Clara is basically confirmed to be Ballora, due to a scene in security breach that depicted the afton family (as colored on and decrepit staff bots) at a table eating dinner, including circus baby Elizabeth, headless Evan, big brother Michael, suit wearing William, and Momma Ballora Everything else missed are minor details, like the other guy named Jeremy that glitchtrap drove crazy and made slice his own face off Overall, i loved this video and it was a joy to watch!!!

"Man about town William Afton" Now I'm picturing him as Rick Diggins and honestly the suit and top hat feels right

As an aside, an interesting thing is that Glamrock Freddy may only be non-homicidal because Gregory is a child. The haunted animatronics did adult murders because they were trying to protect kids, not just because of their PTSD about having been murdered.

Your pain at trying not to sound like a psycho explaining how you absolutely agree that child murder is bad is such a mood.

I love fnaf lore cause it's just so out of left field. Like, look at that jumpscare game, it has a bunch of dead kids, and is set in the 80s, and in Hurricane Utah, oh wait there's possession, and immortality????, purgatory is a canonical place in the games, oh no we're going full meta and digital, oh wait there's also a bunch of books with different stories, like a timetraveling ballpit and vore and mpreg??????

What you’re missing regarding the Bite of ‘87 is that Jeremy wasn’t a random kid. He was the new nightguard, and was attacked because he was mistaken for William

I know she’s talking about terrible serial murders in a horror video game series, but damn if Haley’s voice isn’t just incredibly soothing

As someone else who has a strange second-hand love/hate relationship with this series, I feel so validated right now. Also, as someone from Utah, I too am just as baffled to see it included in... anything. Much less the child murder robot series.

27:54 Funny enough, Molten Freddy (who is basically like the leftovers of the Funtime amalgamation) literally says _"what a big family reunion"_

No joke, I watch this video at least once a week. Usually twice. It is, hands down, one of my absolute favorite videos on the internet and it never fails to make my day better when I come back and rewatch. Half the views are probably mine.

As the FNAF equivalent of a cantankerous old man who yells at the kids to get off my lawn and who complains about how "back in MY day people thought there were two Purple Guys and that Mangle's noise was police radio chatter", I approve of this video

from what i understand of this franchise, "criticizing Security Breach for its lore additions" is a vital part of any FNAF lore deep dive

Every time she says "Utah" like she can't believe that's the word coming out of her mouth it just kills me 🤣

I have never played fnaf and know almost nothing about it apart from this video, so this may not be 100% correct lore but this is now my cannon.

Michael Afton’s self-possession reminds me of an idea I had for a movie when I was younger. The premise was basically Dead Heat meets The Crow meets the Possession of Hannah Grace. A woman would possess her own corpse to avenge her own death, and as the movie went on the more rotten and destroyed her body would become. Haven’t got a title yet.

The sheer delight in your voice when you talk about William getting springlocked

i am so glad that you loved henry and his monologue as much as the rest of the fanbase. also yes it was SUPPOSED to basically end there, the afton/henry/purple guy storyline was gonna be wrapped up there are and scott/the fanbase was ready to move on. butttt then some big money companies were like “let’s make more games” and Scott was like “lol okay but im out bye guys” so now it’s kinda… just a mess that won’t stop haha.

the worst part of the fnaf timeline is that we dont know the first death. it couldve been charlie, elizabeth, evan, or the kid that possesses chica

I'd assume over the past year SOMEONE pointed this out, but I don't see it: The whole reason Vanessa becomes Vanny is that during the playtest, Glitchtrap slowly learned to "infect" living people. Vanessa wasn't the only one he did this to, but she's the one we've actually seen directly.

Everyone: "The books are a separate Canon from the games, so we won't use those." Matpat: *looks around nervously

as a long term FNAF fan this was an absolute joy to watch. I'm genuinely impressed that you were able to get all this together in one hour of research?? like obviously it's not all 100% there but you know that and that's not the point. this was incredibly entertaining, and very well done

1. Thank you for making me fall down the fnaf lore Rabbit hole 2. I've downloaded this video for easy replay 3. 'It's called The Scooper. It *scoops*' lives rent free in my head

a lot of people, me included, think "evan" dies before charlie, which is what motivated william - drunken rage and jealousy of henry's family. also, judging by the imdb page for the upcoming movie and a few social media posts made by the cast, "evan"'s name is likely actually "garret"

I only ever watched Wendigoon's retelling of the story before (in which he pointed out that it is more his own interpretation of the story and not necessarily accurate) and he explained that William killed Charlie after Evan died and he accidentally killed Elizabeth, which caused Henry to kick him out of business and William wanting revenge for that. The fact that, canonically, there is NO REASON William started murdering children is incredibly hilarious XD.

this is my third watchthrough of this over the past year and i think that my takeaway is that fnaf is a masterclass in everything that the good place wanted to and successfully did avoid becoming: nightmarish, convoluted, and confusing as hell

“A ghost possessing a zombie” is such a cool idea I can’t believe it’s in Five Nights at Freddy’s

Seeing someone who hasn’t been immersed in this lore for years react to it is wild. Like yeah William Afton killed a whole bunch of kids for… immortality or something? And theorists tend to be more focused on what kids went in what robots than how fucked up that is

as a long time fnaf fan i adore this video more than life itself. you truly captured the complete bafflement and "what the hell was scott thinking" energy that the entire fandom has been having for a decade.

Wait wait they noticed BLOOD and MUCUS coming out of the robots and nobody thought "Hey maybe we should check that"

Fun fact about dying to a springlock suit, you don't just get inhaled by all the mechanical parts in there, but your lungs get punctured and you end up drowning in your own blood :]

This is probably like 80% correct which is like at least 20% more correct than I’d be able to explain. Also very very funny thank you Haley

I think it’s heavily implied that Clara/Mrs. Afton committed suicide after losing a custody battle with William. Vanessa in SB/HW shares a lot of similarities with Elizabeth to the point where she’s got to be a parallel of some sort, and we know that her mom killed herself after losing custody of Vanessa due to Vanessa’s dad, Bill, manipulating the courts. There was also a little staffbot family setup in the Pizzaplex that was very much meant to represent the Afton family (mother dressed like Ballora, sister dressed like Circus Baby, a brother with no head and brother wearing an employee uniform) where there’s some dialogue between the wife and husband about her leaving him. So, likely, Clara got fed up with Willy after a bit and divorced him, after which he then manipulated the courts into giving him full custody over all of his children, leading Clara to kill herself. It’s a possibility that the mysterious buried mound is her grave.

something funny and interesting i've been pondering since getting into fnaf lore is the similarities between fandom culture and theology. a bunch of people look at these source materials and pick apart the details and debate about what details mean, timelines for when each piece of text takes place, what pieces of text are canon, and come up with their own theories about what the text is trying to say about our world/life/etc

I didn’t know how much I needed a fun elementary school teacher to explain FNAF to me, but here we are!

It was the "Anger issues. ON THE BIG CROCODILE?!" that got me

The fact that you said you were making stuff up to better suit the timeline in your head is so real, making a fnaf timeline is honestly nothing more than writing fanfic (from my personal experience)

Cassidy's insisting she's "the one you should not have killed" always gets me. Like the other dozen or so children were okay to brutalize

Honestly, nothing makes me happy the same way as watching someone taking a crack at the lore for vibes rather than answers. ...and then you called Cassidy a girlboss, and I was shown true bliss💀

I have had longer conversations about jeremy fitzgerald with a friend than you did research on this timeline, im pleasantly suprised how well you captured the insane vibes of fnaf. And i laughed so fucking much

as teacher currently hyperfixating on fnaf lore and rewatching this i don't think you understand how relatable you are

How have I just discovered this channel! It's so good! As for your Fnaf knowledge, it's great aside from the fact that William does have a reason to have killed Henry's daughter, since Evan is actually killed by the yellow Freddy spring lock suit that Henry had a hand in building, so he wanted revenge and decided to kill Charlotte in retaliation.

I was impressed with how much you got correct tbh, the only thing that was just so wrong was that Jeremy from the bite of 1987 was not in fact a child but a security guard which is why he got bitten. Loved listening to you though, very enjoyable video keep it up girl

i had youtube on autoplay and i fell asleep as you were describing the characters in ice age 5 and woke up as you were describing all the characters burning to death in a restaurant and i gotta tell you, that took me on quite an emotional journey at 9 in the morning

i think one of the reasons Cassidy was so mad (apart from being murdered) was that she was stuffed in the Golden Fredbear suit while it was still in its mascot form. Because the mechanics were spring locked out of place for someone to wear it was essentially a ragdoll. So cassidy has been possessing Fredbear for however long while being completely unable to move that’s also why a popular GIF of Golden Fredbear is him sitting on the floor convulsing

"and why did Clara marry William? What did she see in him?"...Well, according to my 10y/o self's 50k words blogspot self-insert fanfiction - a lot.

“My condolences to the WhatsHisFace estate” is my new favorite line ever

William: All around me are familiar Aftons Worn out Aftons, Worn out Aftons Right infro- I'M BACK IN THE FUCKING RABBIT AGAIN! OH MY GOD I'M SO SICK!

This is the most fun I have had watching FNAF lore. It feels like we’re gossiping about the town loons.

Imma be real, this is probably the best time i have ever had watching a fnaf timeline video

It’s literally “FUCK this one town in Utah SPECIFICALLY”

Either Ms afton plays an important role in the plot later on or FNAF, written by a mormon man, takes place in a mormon state and the wife doesn't have a role and we all just all experienced the culture.

Me: "Parasocial relationships are so fucking stupid." Haley: "I'm a kindergarten teacher with a beautiful personality and an obvious love for learning including learning about pop culture stuff!" Me: "....I love you."

there mustve just been nothing else in utah for all those customers to keep coming back

Cassidy is and will forever be my favorite closely followed by Charlie. Not only does Cassidy not give a flying fuck about what Afton’s reasons were, she actively tortures Afton in UCN which is a girlboss move. Fun Cassidy Facts (allegedly): - Cassidy is the soul haunting GF of course, but it is believed she is roomates with Evan. In my opinion its not that Evan’s rememant is attached to the GF suit, but instead in the plush toy from FNAF 4 which has been stuffed into GF at some point. This is mostly because the way remenant works would make the endo only able to accept 1 soul. - Cassidy’s name was revealed in a crossword from a book Michael Afton is believed to have been reading, and she seems to have been talking to Evan. - Cassidy doesn’t show up in Pizza Sim so her Remenant has not been burned (remenant disappears at high enough temperatures, hence Henry burning everyone lol). - She is the ring master of UCN because she’s just angrier than everyone else. The other kids are following Charlie at this point and it doesn’t seem like they want anything to do with UCN, but have instead been trapped by Cassidy. I think withered bonnie has a voice-line where he’s like, ‘I know you’re trapped and perhaps I am as well’. Which give the impression that the 4 + Charlie are trapped there against their will. - She’s referred to as, “the one you should not have killed” multiple times. - There’s a theory that she either the one playing Fnaf World and learning about what happened, or she’s talking to Michael who is playing. But they’re both talking to Evan it seems. I personally think she’s the one playing because of the interaction with Old Man Consequences. More fun facts/theories: - Remenant can be divided up, and that is what is moving the minirinas (I think). - The second incident of child murders doesn’t end in possession of the toy animatronics (as people thought), it seems William was trying to research remnant with the second batch of child murders and failed to haunt more animatronics. - Remember how I said that remenant can split up, well thats what we think is moving the rest of the animatronics. Since parts from the old animatronics were used to build the toy forms. - Springlocks lock when they come into contact with water hence Evan’s crying wasn’t doing him any favors when he got chomped. - It is believed Susie’s (Chica) dog is possessing Mangle hence its more animalistic nature. - The Chica animatronic wasn’t originally part of the Fazbear cast and instead from a previous franchise which Fazbear entertainment bought. Which seems to be why the animatronic side of Chica in UCN states, “I am the First, I have seen everything.” This of course cannot be Susie since she was in fact not the first, that was Charlie. So the idea that it is the animatronic stating she’s seen all the murders makes sense because Chica as a character and animatronic did indeed exist before all the others. - The Scooper functions not only as a express endoskeleton remover, but a remenant injector. - This injection function is the reason Baby says, “You will not die” because remenant has “healing” properties as seen in the book series. So not only did Michael see and was conscious for the hole scooping and skin suit situation, but when they left him he was still alive and very necrotized. He has been slowly healing because of the remenant up until his death in Pizza Sim. - Its also believed that Michael would’ve been able to see the ghosts of the 5 and Charlie because the remenant he was injected with was assumed to be a mix of all of theirs. The whole seeing of ghosts is shown in the exact same incident where it is revealed remenant can heal since the dude was talking with the kids. - It seems that Baby was booted from Ennard because 1 shes the murderers daughter (and the animatronics in sister location are injected with the remenant of all the kids he murdered), but she was also incredibly bossy. They were likely chill with Baby the AI and when Michael removes it and Elizabeth (William sympathizers extraordinaire) took over they don’t like her anymore. - The happiest day was likely meant to help the kids including Charlie to rest in peace, but Cassidy the angriest girl refuses to join in and eventually drags everyone into her torture of Afton. Hence why all the og animatronics and puppet are all like “we’re not afraid” “we’re trapped as well” and the whole ‘I don’t like you and I won’t forgive you but I want to rest’ deal from Charlie. I think Evan might be the only one who isn’t involved with Ucn. Even Henrys there as Old Man Consequences and he’s trying to convince Cassidy to give it up and let everyone rest. - The animatronics in Security Breach aren’t haunted through remenant (only molten freddy and Afton in the basment are) the glamrock robots are just that robots with corrupted AI. Though the corruption is indeed fishy since it is Afton fucking with everything from beyond the grave as an AI. I personally think OG Afton is still in UCN, unfortunately for the children - Cassidy included - who are unable to rest. Hopefully Cassidy gets what she needs so she can sleep. Word vomit ended, I do have more and I still probably got a lot wrong (I’ve been in the fandom since the first game and I get different theories confused sometimes.) Again Cassidy will forever be my favorite lol. She’s just such a absolutely rage filled child who through sheer force of will is jerking souls around like it’s no issue.

i think haley whipjack is my favorite person on the internet

I have watched this fucking video 4 times. I am ON MY FIFTH. and it makes me laugh hysterically every. Single. Time.

i love everything about this video, especially how casually you talk. it makes this video so much more fun to watch rather than me just frantically trying to pay attention to all the lore. this is amazing :)))

"it's called the scooper. it scoops?" fucking sent me

it's incredible how much of this franchise's lore is lowkey hypothetical and decided by the fans

17:38 William Afton Thought Process: Ah Yes, small space in this robot design. IT MUST BE FILLED. Adults can't fit in there though... *cranes head to stare at the children in his establishment*

The topic of your videos are so unpredictable. It's amazing.

I use to know so much about the FNAF lore, then, like marvel movies, I missed 1 game, now I haven’t been able to catch up and just fell out of the fandom. Thank you for this video, hopefully now I can make some sense of everything

There’s a theory that the animatronics (at least a in the first game) are after the security guard because the security guard (who goes by “Mike Schmidt”) is probably Michael Afton, who also probably resembles his dad, who killed the vengeful spirits that are in the killer robots. Most people seem to somewhat agree that the robots are mistaking Michael for William so they’re attacking him, and the security guard only keeps coming back every night because he’s emotionally invested in this whole situation, so Mike is going back every night to figure out what the heck is going on

the thing is like did the animatronics not STINK for them to like, investigate. whyd it take blood leaking. it was a food place and no one wondered why it STANK.

He murdered Charlie, for suspected jealousy as he thought that Henry deserved to lose a child after the death of his child Elizabeth due to Circus Baby

"woman discovers Cawthon didn't plan the lore"

I never would have guessed "deadpan Ms Frizzle" would be my favorite type of video essayist but...

i love how you just ignored fnaf 4 honestly you are so real for that

For those who don’t know the name Evan (crying child allegedly ) was found in a colouring book… 😅 Welcome to FNAF🎉

Henry Emily had ONE thing (the Fazbear IP) and by GOD he was going to use it

I didn’t realize they'd built the Mega-Pizza Palace on the burnt out remnants of a haunted 1980's Pizza Shop. Who does that?

This should be a regular thing. Non-fan has an hour to research the lore of a series and give an entire summary for the class. Like a journal club but for pop culture.

Clara Afton returning to England to plant a garden is now as much canon to me as anything else in this franchise, perhaps more.

i genuinely love this so much. you had me laughing more or less the entire way through. it's so great to hear someone new-ish to the lore love Michael and hate William as much as most of us do!! also, if no one's commented about this yet, i think it's confirmed that (allegedly) Evan possesses Golden Freddy alongside Cassidy. also also never going to call crying child anything but (allegedly) Evan now

Loved it! Ive never played/ watched lets plays of these games so I came into this with even less knowledge than you did, and this whole thing was WILD. I dont think anyone else could have pulled this off/ made me want to watch an hour of FNAF lore but youre hella funny and have a really good voice to listen to. Cant wait for Arc 8!

I’m pretty sure she put Glitchtrap in Burntrap because that’s where William’s soul was. And his mind did not like being soulless. Like, the angry child was torturing his soul inside the suit, she didn’t pull him out.

I'm in the category 'knows about the early stuff via Markiplier'

if i found my teachers youtube and it was this, they’d be my favorite teacher

Omg!! A more obscure deep lore dive might be d20's a crown of candy. Just a quick 10minuite video trying to describe the plot without mentioning the food part
