Common misconceptions about the Hour of Joy and Catnap
One thing I've seen everywhere is that people are saying Catnap killed the children during the Hour of Joy. We actually have confirmation he was one of the ones that made sure they were safe. He was the one to lock Miss Delight away from the orphans, whether by his own actions or orders from the prototype. Evidence of this is found in the Miss Delight VHS tape. But their goal was to kill the adults who hurt and experimented on them, and to make sure the children weren't being experimented on anymore.
We actually still have no idea what happened to the children in Playcare. If they're still alive or escaped or died, we have no idea.
The other misconception isn't so much a misconception but lack of confirmation and a popular theory becoming what people believe. That Catnap killed all of the Smiling Critters. We actually have no idea how they died (or if they are all dead) besides Catnap and Dogday, and we have no idea if any of them decided to participate in the Hour of Joy or not. We know that Catnap will kill or torture heretics (*cough* Dogday) but if any of the other Smiling Critters went along with the carnage then Catnap wouldn't have been the one to kill them.
We know that even mascots against the prototype participated in the Hour of Joy via Kissy Missy, and the only one we know of that didn't is Poppy because she was locked in her case. I'm not saying that every toy was killing adults but the likelihood of at least a couple Smiling Critters doing something violent during the Hour of Joy is quite high. And if we base everything off of the cardboard cutouts then I'd put my money on Picky Piggy and Craftycorn as they both insinuate doing violent acts. Especially Picky Piggy which sound like she ate 3 of the other Critters, Kickin Chicken, Bubba Bubbaphant, and Craftycorn.
The other Critters fates are harder to figure out besides Kickin Chicken. It sounds like he was killed for trying to escape. Bobby Bearhug is perhaps the hardest only saying that she is so lost and alone. Hoppy Hopscotch sound like she was trying to jump somewhere and maybe try to escape. She could also be interpreted in another way and she might have forced people to jump to death, like the scientists probably forced her in experiments. Bubba is interesting because it sounds like he is actually talking to the player, saying that he remembers us. And what he remembers about us is just screaming. In other words nothing about how he died but interesting theories about who we are playing as.
I don't think it was just Catnap against all the Critters, as they were all being experimented on and locked in cages. They went through the same trauma and I'm sure multiple of them wanted to be free from Playtime Co.
All the fates of the smiling critters are unknown, even if they are really dead (which I think that most are dead with maybe one still around). We have no idea how long DogDay was trapped and if he actually knows what happened to the other critters. Did Catnap tell him everyone was dead? Did he see everyone die? Did he see some die and then assume the rest when he only saw Catnap after a while? We can only theorize, so to say Catnap killed them all or that none of the Smiling Critters participated in the Hour of Joy are just theories. Not fact.
Last thing isn't a misconception just a theory I want to put out there. That Catnap wasn't originally as skinny and bony as he is the Capter 3. I genuinely think we see so many bones because he's starving. Food is dwindling and I would be surprised if he kills toys for his shrine rather than to eat him sometimes.

what we’re your three fav looks? You didn’t say in the tags lol if you don’t want to answer that’s fine lol
Oh hi, hello, no bother at all, I would love to tell you.
Ahem. AHEM. Let’s begin.
Nashville. Look, let’s be clear here, he’s wearing black jeans and you don’t UNDERSTAND but this is just perfect to me. Not only is this an LTWT reference, but there’s actually further thought behind it (outlined in this great 2022 post) and I loved that it was carried into FITFWT. And like… have you seen him? I died that day. I am a ghost.
LA. I love this jacket, I would wear this jacket, and he’s wearing black jeans (I have a type, sue me) but… when he dramatically stripped off right before 505 to reveal that mesh/transparent tank — Melted. Devastated. If these feel like before and after shots, it’s CAUSE THEY ARE (before and after my soul left my body)
And last but never least it’s… NY. Cause of course it is. There’s very little explanation needed here but imma gonna give it to you anyway. I spent an unhealthy amount of time deciding between NY burgundy-prada-baby with those ‘wreck me’ shades, and Troutdale’s-football-shirt-smug-but-modest fit cause I have a deep affection for the shades and you know what… I have zero shame when I say Troutdale felt like his previous AFHF look, and NY looked like he’d ruin my life. So. No competition.
