GO SET YOUR NOTIFICATIONS ON FOR THE CTR CHARITY CREATOR TOURNAMENT!!!! kzfaq.infoKzPzgaIhkbw?feature=share Do you have any answers for how "Its time for all of us to rest" to be interpreted differently? Let me know! Timestamps: Timestamps: 00:00 Preheating 00:55 What is the mimic? 04:24 Did Gregory and Vanessa create MXES? 05:42 CHARITY TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCEMENT 06:30 Did Cassie's Dad create MXES? 08:50 How old is the MXES machine? 10:10 What ACTUALLY Happened in FNAF 6? 13:26 What does MXES stand for? Why was it made?

I think the reason why Roxy comes to save Cassie is because just before MXES is disabled it sees her and calls the nearest animatronic Roxy. However this time she is no longer hostile

I think Rye is a mimic. He has to be either petting a cat or holding freddy pillow pet. IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

Man these more controversial theories are always my favorite, really gets the cogs turning, and brings up some really insane points. Super solid theory, the scooper correlation, and the fact lefty is never burned such a solid theory.

I wonder if they’ll be more dlc’s to answer any unanswered questions from the base game.

You haven't lost it, I think you're totally right. From the second I heard, "I'm thinking this is where Henry was..." it all clicked for me. I knew exactly where the video was going, and I loved it. Great job.

4:13 Mimic? It mimiced once. Its been locked in a room, a concrete room. A room filled with suits, and suits make it mimic

Controversial? those are all the best theories

I am hoping that with Help Wanted 2, Steelwool finally finds their footing with the storytelling of these games. Despite how vague Scott has been with the lore in this franchise, every game he made had a somewhat clear story. FNAF 1-3 had you as a security officer trying to get through the week. FNAF 4 had you as a kid fighting demons in their bedroom, and it tells the story of a scared kid who's life is ended by their own brother in their worse nightmare. Sister Location made it clear that you were there to find something or someone your father asked you to, and how in the end you were going to go back to your father. Pizzeria Simulator was the continuation of that story, you finding a place to lure your father in and sacrifice yourself to put an end to all this, and Ultimate Custom Night was a simulation of the hell your father was in after Pizzeria Simulator. Even Help Wanted, though the lightest in story compared to most of the previous ones, still had something - you were a beta tester, tasked to test this game, and in the end you are tricked into giving your consciousness away to a virus in the system, a virus that had infected people's minds before yours. My point is, though the overarching story of the franchise is nebulous at best, every game has had a story that reached a conclusion that made sense. Security Breach and Ruin, however, give me the feeling that Steelwool has forgotten that they need to tell a cohesive story with each game and not just sink a bunch of easter eggs and lore hints and book references into the games and call it a day. Security Breach was the first game in this franchise that I know all the endings and yet I have no idea what happened. Even the simple premise "little kid got stuck on the Pizzaplex and is being hunted down by animatronics" is surrounded by misteries that leave the situation more confusing and frustrating than the previous games. I never asked why the heck was someone going to work as a security guard in a place so rundown as FNAF 1 - I've worked minimum wage, I know the struggle lol. I never asked why the beta tester was testing the game in the first place. With SB, they present things in a way that already makes little to no sense. Why is this kid already inside Freddy? Why is he hiding from a security guard when he's already stabilished to not be where he should be and his need to leave? Why are the animatronics hunting him down? (why didn't we hear about the disappearances BEFORE the ending of the game?) None of this should be information that is ONLY FOUND in the books. The people who just pick the game up to play should have at least some sense of what's going on without having to do homework to understand the story of a freaking game. Ruin seemed to be a step in the right direction, but the fact that the antagonist is seemingly NEVER REFERENCED IN THE BASE GAME OR ANY OTHER GAME makes it all wrong again. The climax of your game and the ending shouldn't be a compilation of "who are you? What is this? What is happening?" with no ounce of explanation in game to make it make sense for those who are just playing the games. It leaves the players feeling hollow and unsatisfied. Even the insanity that was Sister Location left you with some explanations: "oh, THAT'S WHY he's purple!" "Oh, that's who he is and why he was actually here!" Even if they don't make sense under scrutiny, they make enough sense for the player to feel like his investment in the story wasn't useless.

Love your theory here. I've personally never interpreted Henry's speech as him dying in the fire as well. I've always thought when he's said he was nearby, he was just observing from a safe distance to oversee and make sure everything does burn and everything does end. Which leads into him saying "This ends for all of us" how I have always interpreted that is that he's made sure and for certain Baby, MF and Afton are gone for good, they have ended and therefore for Henry that brings him peace of mind because he knows it has ended, ending it for him, if that makes sense. I feel that quote is saying that everything is done now and he can rest, in a literal sense, knowing it has all ended and not rest in the sense of dying. I've never seen that as him saying he's going to die with it all as well. Basically like saying this is the final straw and he's going to make sure nothing more can come of this, which he does and ends the suffering and because of this he can live the rest of his life knowing no one else can be harmed and everyone is freed. That's how I've always interpreted it, maybe this is helpful to hear another way of seeing it? Regardless love your theories!

That "ohhh..." at 10:08 feels so satisfying, you can really see the pieces just click together near perfectly for the theory

Really interesting theory! I think the only problem with Marionnette not burning with the others is the fact that the burned mask is on the Tangle (Blob) body. Then again, it have no cry marks, maybe before he burned down everyone he already had sucessfully removed Charlie spirit from inside the Marionnette(?), it is very weird that this place have another scooper just ready to be used. And we never really see her face inside Lefty (that I recall). Also there is Baby's original face on Tangle that only Scott knows how that ended up there instead of Scrap Baby's face lol edit: also Funtime Freddy's face instead of whatever was left of him on Pizzaria Simulator..

I hate that theorists have to post their thoughts, knowing a lot of people will hate it. These weren't controversial, They genuinely made sense. As always, keep up the great work my man👍

I feel like the theories that shake things up and force you to look at things differently are the best kind, even if someone doesn't agree with them. I thought this was super interesting- and can I just say that I really loved what you did with the music? I love editing like that, where things are shown in sync. Really awesome video all around!

I always find it funny how Rye almost always has a cat on him when he records or streams. Your cats love the attention.

1: The idea of scooping the puppet remnant into the mimic fits with the scooper blueprints being in the FNAF 6 insanity ending. 2: Rest does not have to mean death (resting in peace). The Christian-based interpretation is that “rest” is when the pains and sadness of the world do not affect you because you understand that God (your FATHER who art in heaven) loves you and will take care of you. This could be a metaphor for puppet/Henry’s new relationship.

I love how you synced up the music with the displays of evidence,honestly made me laugh,I don't know why though?

Any theory feel controversial now with Ruin out. I just being patient until we get more conclusive answers and looking at theories for fun.

Absolutely amazing Ryetoast, as always! I was really caught back by how much sense everything made, and I think mayb this was Steelwool wanted!

Another great theory you made! Love them all!

Very good theory I have no nitpicks. love your content! ❤

That MXES reveal was so good! I love this theory. Edit: Hey, I just thought of something. Maybe Charlie escaped from the robot as she believed her father was doing something wrong. And she escaped into the pizzaplex and later into Roxy. That's why AR Roxy is green and addresses herself as we, and reactivated despite being deactivated. What do you think, Mr. Toast?

If this theory is anywhere close to being correct then this would mean that henry would have killed micheal without knowing if he wanted to be released, but then decided to notdo the same for himself.

This is such a cool theory! It's a really interesting take on MXES and even if it isn't true it's still nice to think about, love your theories!

I see where you're coming from but this doesn't really line-up. Mimic has to have been trapped in the costume room for as long as the MXES program has been a thing (or at least as long as the security system has been a thing), since part of what that program does is keep the costume room locked with a metal door. If Mimic was free to walk around the underground area before that and could go around disabling security nodes, there's no reason to keep that room closed, since there was nothing in it at that point. Not to mention that this would be before the vent collapsed, meaning there would just be another easy entry into that place. Henry designing MXES originally and then Cassie's dad creating the security nodes and The Entity doesn't really make sense, since the security nodes and The Entity ARE MXES. This wouldn't be re-purposing the program, it would just be making a completely new thing. Not to mention Gregory directly tells us it was originally made with the purpose of keeping Mimic down there. The MXES room being where Henry stayed also seems unlikely since we have a far better candidate for that: the Burntrap office room. It's where the buttons to set the building on fire are. And as for there only being three burner rooms: we know from FFPS that the animatronics weren't in those rooms during the fire, they were in the vent maze. So it's not like this was supposed to be one room for each bot or something like that. As for what those rooms actually are? Not sure, maybe just something to test the fire mechanisms and make sure everything would go according to plan, I really don't know.

Burntrap is not the mimic because of burntrap’s purple eyes and mimic has a different endo than Burntrap. Also the recharge station is closed meaning Burntrap is still in there. But that’s just a theory a Fnaf theory!

I think this theory has brought some VERY important peices into the light, but they're still out of place. Very intriguing observation with the burn rooms and the motifs of nightmarrione. We're another large step closer to putting something together here me thinks.

Just to add more credence to this theory, even if Charlie was burned, and Henry wasn’t because all he said was that he was remaining nearby plus the lack of burners in his room, remnant is shown to hold the soul even in liquid state, so he could be using a modified scooper, which he found at circus babies rentals(if you believe the theory that the Fnaf six diner is just Fred bears re-purposed) in order to inject the mimic, which he creates or repairs with the leftover parts from the animatronics in the pizzeria, with Charlie’s remnant.

It's always good when rye starts with "this may be my most controversial one yet"

Has anyone considered that the deactivated nodes in the room before the mimic are connected to the ones we deactivated up in the Pizzaplex? If we count how many nodes are down there and how many we deactivate up above we could see if it's the same number.

6:15 My Mother used to work for Meals on Wheels. Until she fell delivering, she went on ice carrying all the bags of food. That combined with her own weight. It broke her hip. So I'll definitely have to be. There fir this charity event. It's absolutely awful that she had such an accident. But the service still deserves a spotlight and I'm glad to see it.

I’m so happy you’re doing a charity stream for meals on wheels! A friend of mine makes the meals that are delivered by meals on wheels in our area. My grandpa used to get them before he had to move to assisted living. Thousands of people rely on getting those meals every day. You’re doing a wonderful thing by donating to them!

It is an interesting theory, specially the part where henry makes the mxes, but rewatching the fnaf 6 ending again after watching this theory kinda makes me feel that Henry wouldnt want to bring his daughter back. He knows she has gone through too much and just wants to end it all for everyone's sake. Henry trying to do the same thing as Afton which brought so much pain and suffering to himself just seems, not right. The part where "maybe this is where Henry was sitting in fnaf6 ending" really did give me an adrenaline rush, thats just so cool if it really is that place, but I dont think Henry would do somethin like bringing Charlie back to life after seeing how much destruction, pain and sorrow it brought when Afton tried to do it. He just wanted to end it all in fnaf 6, that is what I think. But what happened to puppet and lefty in that fire, you are right, we dont know for sure what happened to them. But I think Henry did want to burn puppet too to rest her.

This theory goes so well with johns one of the sb games paralleling the trilogy and I love it.

Incredibly interesting theory - and your editor deserves a raise/bonus this was fantastically done 😂

If Henry was trying to put his daughter back together, and taking a page from Willy's Book, that would explain why there is a new and improved scooper

I’m not sure if I agree with the theory as a whole, but I did find the discussion on MXES being built by Cassie’s father to be interesting. In general with the theories about FNAF I do think there is a slight over reliance on valence materials to construct a story, so I think working with what this game has given will yield a stronger answer to what the is happening. I think suggesting that Cassie’s father built the MXES security system makes sense through the angle that the character itself does look like Bonnie and that the system itself behaves like how a security system should behave rather that it being tainted like many of the other characters (implying that a more neutral character may have built the system). Additionally, the game explicitly ties connections between the common staff and Bonnie through the yellow bots; this could be understood as an indirect connection from common staff to MXES. Why would the common staff be working on a security system? Beyond the general need for one in a massive plaza full of children, the staff in these games do seem like they’re under threat; they’re being replaced by staff bots from the first game and with the story example from the book in mind, they could be physically harassed / killed by the bots too. MXES could be understood then as being a guardian system built by a new character to protect the interests of the common people. Thematically this makes sense to me. This game is about a rogue, misaligned AI trying to gain greater power to complete its mission. If the theory that Cassie’s father is a creator of the MXES system, it makes sense why she would be targeted by the Mimic. She is clearly knowledgeable of the Pizza Plex and understands how to use the tools to free it from its cage - through her father doesn’t need to be the creator of the MXES system for that to be true, it would also reinforce the reason why Cassie is of particular interest. On a bit of a further tangent - jumping a bit more into speculation, Bonnie and Cassie’s father could be a dark mirror of the relationship between Roxy and Cassie. In the same way Roxy’s attachment to Cassie compelled her to fight the Mimic, maybe Bonnie did the same but ultimately suffered worse for it. In this version of events I would speculate that Bonnie was the animatronic that sacrificed himself for the staff by locking it in the cave, turning Bonnie into a martyr which inspired the creation of MXES. Just something to consider. All of this was written just as an idea, not an argument or theory. I think from a story telling perspective this is what makes sense to me with the presented information in the DLC and doesn’t rely on the other parts of the timeline to make sense.

I think this theory is very interesting and has been one of my favorite newer theories. With how complicated new fnaf lore is getting with mind control and AI systems and mimics, it's nice to have a good old "I will put you back together" theory

"I will be remaining aswell, i am nearby" seemed pretty indicative that hes ready to die too

5:35 I personally believe them to be Security Nodes that haven't been activated at all yet.

but hey its just a theory... A GAME THEORY! thanks for watching

Haven't seen the vid yet but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the Glamrock Bonnie megacollab you organized and did most of the work in

I think it's definitely interesting that the scooper we see in Ruin takes the soul from the mimic, where the scup from SL was shown to inject remnant into the machines. Interesting take on the "puppet never burns" theory. My guess personally is that Henry never does finish his work on integrating Charlie's soul into the animatronic he creates. I think it was FNAF world where Henry died by Baby's hands? "Everybody please stay in your seat" or something like that? Either way, the fact that there is a scooper in the room suggests Henry is not just aware of the SCUP machine, but maybe he even went down to SL himself or had someone go down there for him to retrieve the specific documents. 2023 and 2035 are only 12 years apart so it's not very unlikely that (what I suspect to have been) Hand Unit's faulty code (which gave birth to glitchtrap) also infected the animatronic Henry was working on. After all, it did have a computer with active access to the areas above, in the pizzeria, so for it to also (albeit indirectly) connect to burntrap's pod, or even higher up the rest of the pizzaplex's wiring, wouldn't be too far fetched. The only gripe I have is that the security nodes are in the virtual world which I doubt Cassie's dad had access to, which indicates that Vanessa is the one that created the nodes. Yes Cassie's dad could've made the bunny, but that's a bit weird that Henry created the MXES machine itself, then Cassie's dad modified it to fit the bunny, then Vanessa used the VANNI mask to further cement the mimic into the basement.

the thought that M in MXES being Marionette is almost as crazy as finding out that DS stands for dual screen for the first time

I've never went against a theory so much as it now, first, sure i do think this MXES was older but i don't think the SCUP was made by Henry because it is way advanced than he previously did and the design looks it was based on William's and also, Henry said it's time to rest so my guess is, he wanted 3 things: put at rest the whole group of souls, get Afton burn in hell (as a matter in fact we never knew how he was going to do that since every soul that has been released went to the equivalent of heaven and only Cassidy put William in a hell of her own design helped by the fire) and TAKE CHARLIE'S PLACE. We know Charlie is gone, the mask of puppet has no more tears so she's gone but Henry was the partner of a psychopath so i don't think he got sloppy, he needed a back up plan which could explain why the nightmare version of the puppet is there.

You have such a unique way of telling theories ! Love it

I think we can pretty surely say that charlie’s dad is integral to figuring everything out. What I at least got from the plushies is this theme of abandonment from a father figure. It’s the neglection of charlie/elizabeth that lead to their demise. Daughters failed by their fathers. I think that maybe that could be what’s being alluded too.

mimic? it mimic once. they locked it in a room. a costume room. the costume caused it to mimic. mimic?

I enjoyed this theory SO MUCH! You're editing is getting so good and the buildup through the video is just exciting! 👌

I kinda want this franchise to go back to having "haunted" stuff and more mystery instead of trying to explain and tie everything to a logic, tech or something related to AI.

I like this theory a lot! There are a few issues with it, something that comes to mind is part of Henry's speech: "And to you, my brave volunteer [...] I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well," This language implies to me at least, that Henry wanted to be taken by the fire as well, "This place will not be remembered," even by him. From a story telling stand point there is a possibility that upon seeing his daughter again, he decided he just couldn't go through with it? Especially if he found a way to "save" her. I don't know, lots of interesting things to think about!

I love that you always says lets bake ourselfs a theory! I love baking❤🥹 Your Fnaf theorys are the best!🫶

Oh my god that is one of the best theories I have seen man and I loved your Livestream man and can I have some ideas ?

This makes a lot of sense. Everyone on the theory community has been so focused on the afton family but the books and games put a lot more emphasis on Henry and his counterparts. I'm starting to wonder if Afton was involved at all in the murders or if it was all just Henry's machines getting out of hand.

The ways you bring in the music upon realized Henry and continuing to follow it with your theory! That must have been fun to edit 😅

this is kinda getting into "Gregory is a robot" levels of theorycraft

i remember there was a time where we used to have to sit around refreshing the game theory page for quality fnaf theories, what a wonderful time to be a fnaf fan with all of these intriguing theories and connections being made by so many creators!

Hi Ryetoat love ur vids 🎉❤

thank you rye when i am having a bad day i watch your videos and between the video itself and the cat's presence, it always helps a lot :) hope you are well

The mimic didn't mimic Gregory's voice, he played back lines Gregory said during security breach just cut up in some places and stuck back together. I don't think Gregory and Vanessa have the know how to professionally cement off a door. That had to have been done way before the mimic was put in there, and it makes no sense that it couldn't escape through the vent since it can change its body shape if you believe that part of the story

My one issue with the 'only 3 rooms' problem is that those rooms don't, in any way, appear to connect to a room that resembles the PS Office. There's only one vent shaft to the Gregory Bossfight Room that Monty crawls through.

people on twitter should mind their business lol, I loved this theory :) The fact that there are only three burning rooms could actually be really telling... I love the attention to detail and environment steel wool is putting into these games!

You are so calm and composed, and take things at a different standpoint. Very well spoken with consistent speed, and that cute loaf you always pet is dope. Keep it up toast!

I really enjoy your take on theories! That’s what people need to understand that these are THEORIES and not fully canon. However way it goes, I’m just excited for Help Wanted 2 and to FINALLY get some concluding answers. Even if it gives the community a strong base to theorize on! Great video and really enjoy your editing style! I will say I like the idea of Lefty never burning since the Puppet is my favorite FNAF character!

this theory is absolutely INSANE and i love it. I love watching the communities theories grow and everyone working together. This is an amazing theory.❤

These theories that are deemed controversial get me so excited and are always some of my favorites. This has definitely come to one of my favorite theories.

The Mimic was trapped pre FNAF 6, people are overlooking the fact that the workers went to all the Fazbear related locations before FNAF 3 to sell stuff for auction and to decorate Fazbear Frights. It literally was only there for 5 days, the first day was just preparing the location and it never opened meaning all the stuff, they was still being put in and Henry/Michael would buy all he can from said auction to set his plan into action which would include the Mimic. Meaning the Pizzaplex was in the early stages in planning which would make sense as the whole point of Fazbear Frights was to capitalise on the rumours and history of FNAF while also covering up the murders which is also exactly what HW and the Pizzaplex was made to do.

fantastic theory as always rye, i always love how share ur loaves with us almost every video

An amazing video as always! This whole part was genius 11:14 I laughed every time with the timing with the music I’d like to leave a small opinion/constructive criticism though: recently I’ve been having to watch videos with headphones again due to my sound sensitivity in daily life getting worse and worse to the point I’m constantly wearing noise cancelling headphones. That same sensitivity is why I’m making thus. It took me a while to get through this video from when it was posted until now because the beeping in the bg of the song at the beginning both distracted me and triggered a part of that sensitivity since it was all I could hear and focus on If you could please consider things like this in the future when choosing songs for bg music I’d really appreciate it. Either way I’ll still be here to support the channel best i can ❤️

Considering that we are talking about a game about a lot of weird concepts, nothing is controversial in my opinion. Specially because the devs don't want to clarify anything, they know since the beginning that this kind of theory/speculation is what keeps the franchise so relevant. If they explain the story, it's over. 😂

“I think Henry was in this room” Man this is one of my favorite things about fnaf, a group of friends finding something and things starting to slide together.

istg i could practically hear the lightbulb appear over my head when FuhNaff said the room could have been where henry was XD these types of theories are my favorite; absolutely absurd but at the same time so plausible

Can we stop with Charliebots please

Even if it's wrong, great theory!

4:08, hearing you talk about how the mimic was stuck in a room for years just kinda reminds me of springtrap. I mean they were both stuck in a room (for the mimic presumably years) for a long time.

Damn , this theory is so refreshing, everyone seems to theorize (insert character here) is a robot, this gives context to fnaf 6 and it opens room to theorize about Henry and the Puppet's future , and the Puppet was trapped in a box just like MXES

I love this theory! When I saw the chonky M.X.E.S. computer and I realised how old it was, I immediately thought that Henry must have built it. Because our count of computer tech geniuses from that area in fnaf history is two. Henry and perhaps William. I say perhaps because I always figured Willy for more of a furry, and businessman. And who learned most of what he knew from Henry. Or at least less technically capable than Henry. It's like in the books. I read the comic-trilogy and in there it almost looks like he sees Henry as a challenge to surpass. One which he fails to surpass time and time again. Lining that up with the fact that ol' Willy was probably still removing his endo, and patching up his suit by the time this was likely built, it kinda HAS to be Henry, doesn't it? So I think this theory makes near perfect sense. Just a little ironing out the holes with a little bit of evidence and speculation.

Ok, hear me out on this one, cause it's absolutely wild. In the room before we meet the Mimic, there are propane tanks, which presumably were used by Henry to burn everyone in FNAF 6. Another name for people named Henry is Hank. Now, where have we heard of a Hank that has a fondness for and uses propane a lot? That's right, Mike Judge's popular adult animated series, King of the Hill. When does King of the Hill take place? In the 90's and early 2000's. Have you ever thought that it was odd that in the show, Bobby barely ages? That's because he's a robot. We see Hank building all manner of things throughout the series, including a wooden puppet of Bobby. We also know that Hank has a narrow urethra, and had been told he would never have a child. Hank built Bobby, AKA the Mimic, as a way to replace the son he would never have. We see very little of the timeline of FNAF in between FNAF 1 and FNAF 3, presumably in the late 90's up through the 2000's. I think it's pretty clear that King of the Hill is the story of what happened in those years, and that the games that take place from FNAF 3 onward are continuations of that story. But hey, that's just a theory. (Please understand that this is a joke and not meant to insult anyone.)

This is just something I've though of now, but I personally think that the glitchtrap virus was trying to free the mimic and that the mimic almost escaped before the pizzaplex was destroyed. I'm not sure what stopped it from escaping while the pizzaplex was open, but anyways. After the pizzaplex was destroyed, I think that someone realised that the mimic kept almost escaping and broke in to block the mimic in with the concrete, and made the security nodes and M.X.E.S system after the pizzaplex was destroyed, which my admittedly weak evidence is that ruined Roxy is one of the security nodes, which is turned off by using the faz-wrench in her eye socket, which had to be added after security breach as you could see in security breach that her eye sockets were empty. To sum it up, I think that someone or something came into the pizzaplex after it was destroyed to block in the mimic and made the M.X.E.S system and the security nodes to stop people from letting the mimic out. My evidence is that Roxy was modified to be a security node after the events of security breach. I'm not sure if this was the general consensus among the community or what weight it would hold, but I just wanted to share my ideas. Also I wrote this before watching the video

While the idea that Henry was the one that made MXES isn’t a bad one, why would he make MXES into a rabbit, which is what William is usually associated with, and why would the Security and Child Nodes be in the modern Pizzaplex if MXES is an old security system? I do like the idea that MXES stands for Marionette Experiment Enshroudment System, but it’s hard to say exactly. 🤔 I do hope we’ll see MXES again, because he’s my favorite character in Ruin.

My thoughts on the mimic from a comment i posted on a superhorrorbro's fnaf videos: "I don't think the mimic and Glitchtrap are the same. Gregory says that the mimic has been imprisoned down there for a "long time" and doesn't refer to MXES has something he made, more like something he heard of. What i think happened was that the mimic was created a long time ago but then locked away once it started to replicate violent behavior. Then Henry used the plot of land to build the FNAF 6 location (perhaps not knowing of the monster below). Then Fazbear Entertainment used the same plot to build the Pizzaplex, rediscovering the mimic and trying to work with it, even scaning it into the VR game (which created Glitchtrap). But when they figured out that it was to dangerous the locked it away again in the same place and added MXES for extra security and stole back the circuit boards sent to scan into the vr game (being to late by then). Just like in the books they put the mimic1 program in everything, like the animatronics and probably the Blob (which is probably the game version of the Storyteller)."

To be honest, when Henry said "All of us can now rest" it was for different reasons. The animatronics sure would be able to go on to the afterlife, but Henry himself can finally rest from what he had done... not to kill himself but to just finally be done with the entire situation and move on with his life.

Mimic? It mimicked once, they locked him in a room, a dark room, a dark room with costumes, and costumes makes it mimic.

This is my favorite theory I’ve heard about Ruin ! Fantastic job !

damn i love this one, i put this video on to watch in the bg while i work, but as it went on i had to pause my work to pay full attention cause it got so intriguing

10:23 "If there is a really old piece of technology in this pizzeria, it would make sense it was Henry who was the one who made it" 10:37 "We need to take a look at FNAF 6 and compare it . . ." Those lines made me think.. We have general information on how everyone was lured to the FNAF 6 location. We know that MXES can alert the pizzaplex animatronics to a location so.... it may not align perfectly, but what if it was originally the system that assured everyone was lured to the pizzeria? If we go with the idea that Cassie's dad, or really anyone, updated it for use with security measures in the pizzaplex, then we could assume that the luring code was repurposed as the security alerting code!

Nice theory! I really hope we get some answers later this year

This is the first I’ve heard of/noticed there’s a vent connecting the two rooms where Gregory’s backpack is. Definitely makes a lot more sense with how the Mimic got a hold of a walkie talkie with that info, so interesting! OMG?! THE COLLAB FOR CHARITY?!?! IM SO EXCITED

I believe the first half of the theory, but not the put Charlie back together. I'd say the Scooper was made to be able to remove an animatronic from a costume by force like Afton's scooper, but a lot more efficient, maybe to remove the marionette from L.E.F.T.E. so he could truly be with his daughter once more.

I think this is a great theory. First off, kudos to you for figuring out what MXES stands for. Second, I’ve also theorized that Henry is alive. He says in that speech that he’s near by. I think he wasn’t in the building when it burned. He was close by to see it get burned, not inside it. Third, when you pointed out that we don’t see lefty getting burned changes everything. All he wants to do is save her. He wouldn’t want to get rid of any possible chance of having her back. I think Henry making MXES makes sense. I mean Lefty is also an acronym for what it’s supposed to do. Lure Encapsulate Fuse Transport. I know you mentioned that you are confused about what Henry means when he tells his daughter it’s time to rest. I think maybe it’s way of telling her to stop and let him finish everything to relieve her of pain and anger possibly. Either way, amazing theory. ❤

I still din't understand why Cassie's dad matters; he could be just a staff of Fazbear's and he doesn't affect the lore.

"Time for all of us to rest" might've been 'now that afton and friends are dealt with, you don't have to work anymore' and he was hoping she'd naturally move on, maybe fearing burning her would damn her soul.

Wow, I didn't consider Henry at all before, but that does make some sense!

something worth noting about this idea that Henry didn't die and only burnt the three you mentioned. i listened to the insanity ending more closely than i have in the past, and while it's main point seems to be about molten mci and explaining follow me, one thing stood out to me; not once in him detailing his plan, does he mention Lefty capturing Charlie. granted, he doesn't mention the plan of burning both Elizabeth or William, but, the main point of him detailing his plan is about the missing children, that seems to be what he cares about. it could be he was expecting all the children to just be in different animatronics, but was surprised to find only four instead of six, and the children all being stuck inside one, so it might've been a change of his original plan before he ended up discovering both Aftons. idk, worth looking into.

In the off chance the scooper ending puts Charlie into the mimic that brings a whole bunch of questions for the future since Charlie is strictly only violent when children’s lives are thought to be in danger

My main issue with this is that literally in Tales the Mimic is sent to the Pizza Place not the Pizzaplex. The Pizza Place is still above ground and the Pizzaplex is still under construction. Another thing is why study the Mimic if his code is literally in the hands of Fazbear Entertainment, being a previous owner he should be able to get his hands on that code.

Being honest, I don’t like the whole Baby/Mimic and Charlie/MXES theory, but it seems that’s where the story is going, at least as a “parallel”.

11:57 I think when Henry said "It's time for all of us to rest." he meant it as in burning and freeing Scraptrap, Scrap Baby, and Molten Freddy while for Lefty, he meant it as to finally try to get their lives back again, that he could make Charlie a nearly perfect body for her to live in and they could both go back to living their old lives all those years ago, that she could rest now and never have to worry about the MCI souls anymore. I think that's what Henry meant if this theory is true, btw this is an amazing theory Ryetoast, keep it up!

I have a thought about MXES. It is sometimes a technique for cyber security to use older machines, because they were harder to hack. They have less background processes to create holes, they have less processing power making newer programs not capable of working correctly, and even speak a different hardware language making it harder to interface with their processors. It would seem MXES is being used like that. It interfaces with the AR network but the AR network can't really interface back with it. You need the Fazwrench to do anything with it. You can't remotely hack the system, you need to physically hack the system. The AR nodes are most likely points where MXES interfaces with the AR network and your closing them... sort of like reverse hacking. Like how cyber security has you disable ports that aren't being used. You're blocking the security mainframe from being able to interface with the AR network by closing the ports it talks through. This might also explain how Helpie is able to temporarily shut down the avatar. You've already closed the ports to the mainframe but rhe avatar is just a program running from the AR system's memory and not the original instance running from the MXES itself. So Helpie probably is functionally just ending the process thread now that MXES is no longer connected. CtrlAltDel End Task.

I love your background! Have you considered hiding the wires? It would be next level then
