  I kinda believe that Matpat always realized that Scott Cawthon just made things up as he went, and that that was why he continued to make Fnaf theories. Matpat basically got to become the unofficial lead storywriter for the series whenever he made a video Scott liked.

  Scott Cawthon would be an absolute chad if he would just admit he doesn't care about a cohesive lore and story and just designs his games based on what he thinks is cool.

  I like how Toby Fox used the power of friendship to create a game about the power of friendship. Now he's making a game about dreams with the power of That One Dream

  Absolutely fucking hilarious how two of the most recognized games in modern history are works of divine intervention and a fever dream

  the fact that Toby considered Undertale a stepping stone towards creating Deltarune makes me incredibly hopeful of the game's future. Imagine creating one of the most influential narrative-based videogames of all time just because you wanted to prove to yourself that you could create a game based on a dream you had.

  I always thought that FNaF has what I like to call Schrodinger's Lore. Scott makes implications about the lore, looks at how the fandom reacts at what he intended, and based on the reception he changes it up.

  Your point about Toy Chicas beak being a retcon is made even funnier buy the fact that, the only context in which the mini games Chicas beak being missing being reverent is dream theory. Which Is a theory that was explicitly retconned by Scott

  I think it's really funny that after Scott was like "God, please. Use me, help me find my way" he went and made the Child Murder Jump Scare Game. Like that's objectively hilarious

  To be fair to Scott, about 2/3rds of the games were supposed to be the last game.

  Toby fox is an inspired storyteller, game designer, and musician who works to create something he wants.<br>Scott Cawthon is an experienced environment crafter who&apos;s setpieces got misinterpreted as story beats, and he just rolled with it.

  I don’t think anyone fully understands how complicated FNAF is now. To fully grasp this, I’m gonna say one single sentence that still continues to be baffling how this is a plot point worth discussing: Are the first 4 games cannon?

  &quot;There are no holes in the plot&quot;<br>My guy, your plot makes a spider&apos;s web look like a fallout shelter.
