I tried to do something new with this one, but I think I didn't do a good job with it. I thought a turtleneck would go well with his personality more, being a closed off and harsh individual.
Over the past week, I have had two – maybe thee – headcanons I would like to share publicly. Idk if these are good or not, but they're just silly things I thought about while away.
I will be writing a lot so here's a read more divider for the sake of y'all 😭
1) I feel like everyone who was killed and turned into a puppet for the exhibit experiences a "memory attack."
Basically, out of nowhere, someone could remember who they were before going into the exhibit, meeting Mr. Clown, and then how they died. This makes the person having it feel very existential, and it sort of looks like a panic attack.
Everyone experiences the memory attack differently. I feel like Ms. Stretch would be the most reserved, and either Jack or Mr. Floaty are the most violent with theirs.
2) In my headcanon, I feel like Jack was a troublesome child when he was alive. You can say the term rascal fits him. But after getting turned into a Jack in the Box, he became a vengeful spirit, hence why he's so different from the rest.
I took a lot of the toy's symbolism into consideration whenever writing this headcanon. Jack in the Boxes are usually a symbol for happiness and childhood. However, it also holds the title of mischievous behaviors and evil.
I'm second guessing this headcanon, but maybe I can work on it more in the future.
3) I feel like if, hypothetically, at the end of the game, the player is now one of the exhibit puppets, we would heavily be music box themed related.
The music box is a heavy motif in the game. It plays in the beginning and plays during the power shut off. We can also interact with it by turning it off or breaking it.
Maybe we are connected to the music box in some way, and because of that connection, we are a clown that is in the form of a music box. I don't know how to word things please excuse my confusing way of words 😭
TL;DR:
1) Everyone who has died in the exhibit has these episodes called "memory attacks."
2) Jack was a rascal when alive, but when he died he is a vengeful spirit.
3) If going by the notion that we are dead at the end of the game, we will be a music box related exhibit.
