🔥 you know. you know.

send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

ahem…. fuck the mimic theories and fuck the current state of f.naf twitter and the way people act about it in general oh my GODDD

… edit this got long enough for me to need a read more LMAO

for anyone who isn’t aware ( stay that way you’re better off ) like we unfortunately are lmao the tftpp books are bringing in a new wave of theories about the mimic ( an.. endoskeleton?? programmed to mimic human behavior ) and its possible involvement in security breach… what i’m talking about here is mainly the claims that actually the mimic IS what we refer to as both glitchtrap and burntrap. it’s… honestly not even the theories themselves that i dislike so much as the way people have started acting about them??

i’m not exactly a fan of the idea that this out of left field character who is not hinted towards in the games AT ALL is actually what’s behind everything post ffps primarily because no matter how long they’ve been dropping those crumbs in the book, it is simply a bad writing choice to me to have your supposed main antagonist rely on supplementary material that is NOT well integrated into your main media at all. it’s different than things like, say revealing william and henry’s names in books or the logbook being used to support theories, because they are already characters that had sufficient evidence for their involvement in the games. no matter how much the books have influenced the game’s timeline before, i just don’t think this specifically is really that great of writing ( “it’s f.naf it’s all bad writing? okay and i can critique it JDKDHF ).

and that’s what really gets me: specifically f.naf twitter right now is RAMPANT with people jumping to conclusions and dragging people through the mud for having the audacity to? not agree with them? first of all, a lot of it feels like a GIANT misinterpretation because people seem to think that those who are doubtful of the mimic change think that glitch/burntrap is actually william afton fully resurrected from the dead. i don’t, i never have, to me glitch has ALWAYS been some sort of force created in order to act like william, something that is NOT actually william’s soul but is undoubtedly influenced by his past presence ( of course this doesn’t apply to people especially in the rpc who do portray it as actually william, rp is even more “do what you want who cares” to me JDKDJF ). no one is saying that they want william’s soul back and kicking, but people will constantly dismiss doubts about mimic with “you were complaining about william coming back but now that he’s not it’s an issue.” the theory is still shaky at best ( relying on the mimic potentially witnessing the mci and copying william which is why it exists as burntrap— the mimic’s behavior doesn’t match up with this enough to prove anything ) and it’s made even worse by only a few people posting concrete information and the rest just making baseless claims about proof that isn’t actually there.

i … got carried away lmao but overall what’s annoying me is the fact that it seems like the general fanbase is leaving NO room to disagree or not like a writing choice without straight up being aggressive towards them. obviously don’t be an asshole IN people’s theories, but if someone is just expressing what they think? that is NOT grounds for harassment?? there is NO NEED to act like someone is personally betraying you just because they have a different interpretation or critique of the text. it’s just so wild to witness this when it comes to a series that has ALWAYS been about different interpretations coexisting… let people talk about how their opinions without belittling them for “just being angry that the story’s not what they expected”

i leave with this
