Thread by @CathuresArt

Time for a huge thread on Sammy using the slides we used in our Sammy video on YT. It's one of my favourite FNAF theories even if almost no one else but shock and I are on board with it.

There's more in depth discussion on the video ofc, twitter is restrictive. 🧵1/30

The first point was a place where I found myself going ...oh no. Freddy in Space. There was a startling part of this game that got mostly overlooked. 🧵2/30

The "secret" ending of Freddy in Space is where we save Freddy's son, but to do so you have to forsake the rewards of the game. It was intentional that we forget about Freddy's son.

🧵3/30

We first encountered the concept of twins in the silver eyes trilogy. In those books we find that Sammy is the younger twin.

🧵4/30

In the same trilogy, we see Henry showing BOTH twins the dangers of the springlocks and warning them not to play with them.

🧵5/30

The twin in FNAF 4 outside of Freddy's holding a plushie tells us their daddy warned them it was a finger trap as we saw previously.

🧵6/30

The bow wearing twin has a set of toys which are in fact the toy animatronics.

🧵7/30

The other twin has a heart on their chest (have you ever considered Nightmarionne looks like it has open ribs?) and has a SB toy. Does he end up with a SB trapped figure as a plaything later?

The twins perfectly overlay.
🧵8/30

The twins are intended to match one another though are set apart from the other kids and appear to have prototype or unreleased toys at this point in time.

🧵9/30

From these factors I surmise that these twins are Sammy and Charlotte who would have access to unreleased Fazbears items.

🧵10/30

Now I'll go over some of the frights stories as these are important to henry's twins. This relies on the stories as trying to tell us something rather than straight literal.

🧵11/30

The beginning and end scenes of a book are incredibly important to an author, and the silver eyes gives this important space up to a shared moment where Charlotte and Henry see a crow. This is relevant, even if it seems a simple memory.
🧵12/30

Crows once again feature at the EVEN MORE important capstone end scene of the entire trilogy. We see the crow once again as it flies off into the sky. We hear crows in various games too, both HW and HW2 for instance.

🧵13/30

In the new kid, Afton-analogue Devon is with his friend Mick and kills a crow right in front of him without empathy just to win a game they are playing. Mick is horrified.

🧵14/30

Things escalate to Devon killing a kid and forcing Mick to help him cover it up. As they discuss their choices, two crows discuss their fate.

🧵15/30

Blackbird specifically discusses crows and ravens and settles on blackbirds as "a little smaller" but still scary. If the crow is charlotte, perhaps her little brother might be the blackbird?

🧵16/30

We see clear connections between Blackbird as a story and the vengeful spirit's dialogue that we hear through the mediocre melodies. The blackbird never lets you rest, nor does the vengeful spirit.

🧵17/30

Sam sees himself as a transformed agony creature in the mirror and sees how changed that he is. But ultimately he is pleased, because the individual he is going to torment will "regret his dark secrets" when he sees it. Sammy chooses a form that echoes his sister.

🧵18/30

The blackbird as a creature stalks those with dark secrets and Nole understands this, he also understands that he deserves it. He fears that the blackbird was going to take him to hell, a fear William demonstrates in the Man in room 1280

🧵19/30

Sam makes an incredibly cryptic statement that is never explained at the end of blackbird where he confesses to "bullying one of his bullies."

I think Sammy VENGEFULLY did the same thing.

🧵20/30

When discussing the setting for the blackbird's torment they specifically discuss basically the entire premise of FNAF 4 as an ideal place to torment the protagonist.

We see nightmarionne in the bedroom in FNAF 4.

🧵21/30

There are shared elements in the appearance of nightmare, nightmarionne and shadow freddy. Shadow freddy appears as an echo of GF, Nightmare appears as an echo of Fredbear, Nightmarionne IS nightmare and is labelled interchangeably.
🧵22/30

The story being told at the start of The New Kid (ignore the blackbird area header) to the class to scare them by Devon involves two twins being eaten by a location.

🧵23/30

There are constant references to twins throughout the short stories. A LOT OF THEM. More than there reasonably would be in an anthology. Some of them even echo lines from the games. They are often geniuses and often threatening.

🧵24/30

As you can see in the previous tweet, Pickle is the Sammy equivalent in the breaking wheel as the son of a genius father who excels at robotics. We see the pickles bring happiness in fnaf 6 too. Mike and the aftons could be assumed associated with EB

🧵25/30

Sammy is associated with conspiracies with Sammy-analog characters often suspecting that people around him are robots.

Maybe he's right in the larger FNAF canon lol. Especially with his sister.

🧵26/30

Sammy is bullied in the breaking wheel by a character who is incredibly coded as William (he makes an exosuit robot that backfires and traps him)

🧵27/30

The same bullying happens to Sammy-analog characters in other stories, with Sam (he's sam in both Somniphobia and Blackbird lol) being picked on.

🧵28/30

We get a strong impression that Sammy, wherever he is is a nerd. We see it in most representations of the character. If we overlap these characters we can get a hint of what traits might actually be present in the canon.

🧵29/30

We constantly loop back to the concept of Sammy as a vengeful figure, aligning him with what is possibly the vengeful spirit. We discuss this more in our cupcake video.

🧵29/30

I have SO MUCH MORE I could talk about here, but twitter already tried to cut my thread off at 25 tweets. But yes. Sammy is a really interesting character and I like him and its completely Shockburnt's fault for inflicting this knowledge upon me. Thanks for reading.
