I hate matpat because he admitted to not playing the games he makes theories on. like?? that’s his job and he can’t even do it right??? he lacks reading comprehension skills, like I swear he does
oh you don't have to swear, he does. fully. i'm not into hollow knight personally, but last time a post of mine critiquing his theories blew up, i got a lot of notes saying that his hollow theory (or at least one of them? idk if he's done more) is wildly despised within the community because it's apparently debunked in like. literally the first cutscene or something.
i've said this before, but it's kind of a weird line between "he does not have media comprehension skills" and "he DOES realize these things, he just doesn't give a shit and will say anything to make his theory make sense". for example, something i do know well: fnaf. in his like, "final timeline" or whatever the fuck, he creates an entire narrative about elizabeth and the funtimes being LATE in the timeline, taking place after the crying child's death. however, in that very video, he points out the OVERWHELMING amount of evidence that the crying child witnessed elizabeth's death, from the nightmares having stomachs on their mouths (elizabeth was scooped through baby's stomach) to the fact that the game constantly tells the crying child to "remember what he saw" or something loosely along those lines. he is AWARE of the fact that these things exist within the text, however, he has this fucking superiority complex that it doesn't matter, because HIS theory is CLEARLY right, these very important lore texts must've just been bullshit.

I keep thinking about how often Glamrock Freddy refers to the other animatronics as his friends. And, when he’s talking at the end, he says his friends are there.
This line sticks out to me because Michael never refers to the animatronics as his friends. Nor does he refer to the other kids as his friends. Henry certainly doesn’t consider the animatronics or the kids to be his friends.
The two characters who refer to any other characters as their friends are Charlie and the Crying Child. And Charlie isn’t what I’m focusing on here.
The Crying Child is the only other character in the entire franchise who refers to the animatronics as his friends. Freddy referring to them as his friends feels pointed, especially since Roxy and Monty and Chica don’t refer to each other as friends (as far as I recall).
But also, in the popular theory that the Crying Child is one of two animatronics possessing Golden Freddy, he is the less aggressive one. He’s the one who just hangs out, while his partner does murder and stuff. So Freddy acting primarily as his programming wants him to makes sense, because the Crying Child is a much more passive entity. A much more passive entity who would definitely be more likely to step in only when he senses that his father is trying to take control of Glamrock Freddy back.
“But what about Freddy knowing so much about the security rooms?”
Golden Freddy is always there. He’s always in front of you in the first game, you just can’t always see him. He would know how to work the security rooms. He’s seen it.
But, it also fits in that Golden Freddy and Glamrock Freddy are both G. Freddy.
But what about Gregory?
Well, who do we know who dislikes animatronics? Who do we know who stands up to animatronics on a near nightly basis? Who do we know who would be a bit exasperated to find a Mr. Hippo magnet? Who do we know to be someone who has only ever possessed a form resembling a human?
Michael.
That’s right, I think that Gregory is more similar to Michael. Especially in terms of personality. Gregory and Michael are the only characters (aside from William, and we know where William is) to have a motive to destroy animatronics, and the malice to do so.
“Then why doesn’t Gregory understand the security room?”
Dude, Michael has to have a Phone Guy tell him how to use his own security system in every game. Like, come on, I don’t think it’s that unreasonable.
But anyway, the point of this post is that I think a great twist would be that Gregory was meant to be possessed by the Crying Child, only to get the wrong spirit. Thus why he’s actively running away from Vanessa at the beginning. Thus why he can figure out how to do “maintenance” on the animatronics so quickly (he has experience). Thus why he can figure out the security rooms so quickly (with help).
It was meant to be the Crying Child, and that’s why Vanessa is so upset. He isn’t acting like the Crying Child. He isn’t acting right, he isn’t acting the way he should be. She didn’t expect him to run from her. Which would make sense if she expected the Crying Child, whose go-to response to stress is sobbing on the floor.
But I think Crying Child did possess an animatronic. The only animatronic he’s used to possessing. Freddy. He’s passive, he lets Freddy’s programming do what it wants and only really responds to much at the end of the game, when he needs to.
This is a stupid theory, and I accept that, but something about the idea of William trying to get his sweet little crybaby son back, only to accidentally revive his hellion, is extremely funny. Like Baby trying to revive William, only to accidentally revive William’s hellion.
Michael just has a habit of living on, even as people (his father) are practically begging him not to. And Crying Child has a history of possessing animatronics but not letting anybody know about it precisely because he just passively lets it do whatever. It all makes sense in my head. Of course there are parts that don’t add up, but can’t it be enough that the theory is amusing?

HW2 Theory
So, I've noticed a few people talking about how Candy Cadet's story in Help Wanted 2 might relate to Cassie's father, and I just realized a way it might connect if Cassie's Dad is the Bonnie Mask Bully/Jeremy from FNAF 2
Spoilers for Help Wanted 2 under cut
So, in the story, Candy Cadet says that "The woman escaped before she was thrown into the oven, but she would have a scar for the rest of her life."
In FNAF 2, before the bite of '87 happened, Phone guy says this:
"What on earth are you doing there, uh didn’t you get the memo, uh, the place is closed down, uh, at least for a while. Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one, someone used it...now none of them (the animatronics) are acting right."
"Uh we have one more event scheduled for tomorrow, a birthday. You’ll be on day shift, wear your uniform, stay close to the animatronics, make sure they don’t hurt anyone okay."
The animatronics not acting right after this results in the bite, with Jeremy surviving, but most likely having a scar. The 'witch' in this case was William, possibly messing with the animatronics to cause another bite and attack one of the people responsible for his son's death.
Now, why would Jeremy be working at Fazbear Entertainment, or even come back after the bite? Well, if he was friends with Michael, perhaps he wanted to help him investigate what the Hell was going on with the animatronics/what happened to William/what William did. Especially if my theory/headcanon is right that Bonnie Mask and Cassidy were siblings.
Now of course, Candy Cadet's story could refer to Vanessa, but it doesn't make sense in context of HW2. In the secret ending, she (as Vanny) destroys glitchtrap, so the phrase "the witch would finally have her meal" doesn't exactly fit, at least to me. Whereas the player/Cassie's dad gets attacked by the Staff Bots at the end and turned into the Maskbot.
Now, how would Jeremy be lured back to the Pizzaplex? We know he was a game tester in Help Wanted 1, plus as well as knowing Cassie and Gregory were friends prior to SB, and knowing Gregory had been possessed/brainwashed by Glitchtrap at some point, it's not unlikely that Glitchtrap could have used Gregory to lure Jeremy back.
(This works whether Glitchtrap is Afton or the Mimic, due to the Mimic is well, mimicing William. Still wanting revenge on those who killed CC/Evan.)
But that's just my theory on all of this.
