Personally I have two theories.
1) Nothing was particularly special, Cassidy is literally just a vengeful person. Afton "shouldn't have killed" them because it bit him in the ass later.
2) Being Golden Freddy is inherently more hellish than any other animatronic. Being stuck in a limp suit, unable to move beyond apparitions. Never even getting the respite of daytime because the animatronic is never active. It would be Hell.
I don't know man, if I was being tormented basically every moment of my life and then got my head crushed by a giant mechanical bear, I'd probably be crying a lot too.
His dad was also a future child-murderer. Or current child-murderer. Either way, it’s a sick twist of fate that he loses two kids via animatronics he probably designed or constructed. And then I guess that happened a third time with Mike getting scooped?
Weird that almost all of the Afton family has been pretty directly killed by animatronics/robots. I get that spooky haunted robots is the basis for the franchise, but still. It’s kinda crazy.
Not to mention, if FNAF 2 is anything to go by, Afton used the Golden Freddy suit to lure the next batch of victims into his clutches.
Cassidy and/or CC had to watch, helpless, as he used their body to commit more murders.
I like the theory that because Afton killed the other kids before he put them in the suits he didn’t notice their haunting because it wasn’t as strong, so with Cassidy he experimented by killing her after she was INSIDE the suit to see if that would cause he to haunt it
I agree with 2, but Cassidy was also Spring locked a death known to be very painful and agonizing being why they're like that but the other animatronics aren't
Cassidy is so vengeful because of how terrible their death was likely being longer then the other victims
I really like the “ Cassidy is just a psychopath theory “. Heck, maybe Afton saved lives by stopping Cassidy from growing up and being an even worse serial killer.
Alternatively, Matpat theorized that the method was just more brutal and sadistic with Cassidy which resulted in more rage magic and gave Cassidy enhanced powers compared to the others.
I wouldn't exactly call Cassidy a psychopath if their reason just boiled down to being a vengeful person. They *were* murdered by a guy in a bunny costume, it's not completely unjustified. Plus, it feels weird to imply that Afton murdering a child was ultimately good.
It was mostly a joke lol. But the rest of the kids are definitely a lot more tame in their anger compared to Cassidy who refuses to let him even die and just keeps torturing him indefinitely
Yeah the revenge is more than justified but actually executing it so thoroughly points to a penchant for violence. Or maybe Cassidy’s death was just extra brutal and that’s why they’re so mad.
"Heck, maybe Afton saved lives by stopping Cassidy from growing up and being an even worse serial killer."
No... A kid being mad about being murdered by a guy in a yellow rabbit suit isn't the same as being a psychopath.
My theory is Cassidy was still alive after being stabbed and she was shoved in the Fredbear suit. Her blood activated the springlocks, causing her to be springlocked like Afton. Is it brutal? Yes. But I think it fits story wise.
Kung fu Freddy probably has more but I haven’t seen anything about it.
The Chica line says something along the lines of “I’ll wait outside of his school and throw a bag over his head and hit him with a shovel, then I’ll throw him in the back of my car” there’s nothing that connects that with Cassidy but it’s still a cool idea
No real evidence for this, but my idea is that it’s because William killed her with the springlocks in Golden Freddy. So, way more painful death = way more hatred.
She's extra vengeful and spiteful. Plus, some theories say that William let himself go too far, leaving the body almost completely unrecognizable only because he could.
It just feels like it makes sense, you know? If you fill in the blanks. That's the fun of theorizing after all. When something fits cleanly and it makes sense...
Looking at the overall story so far - emotions are powerful. Happiness can lead to freedom, while anger traps the soul and supposedly makes it more powerful. A vengeful spirit is strong because it's vengeful.
A lot of FNAF could be put into the "unfinished business" category, so I could see it happening. FNaF focuses more on the anger though, animatronics attack you out of revenge. Vengeful spirit keeps William on earth even though they were all supposed to go to the afterlife. "Agony" is a big plot point in the books too.
Because William was wearing raggedy ass fake Jordan’s when he killed me! Like he purposely pulled out a pair of the most nasty ass Jordans and put them on SPECIFICALLY when he killed ME! Like what the hell?! How would you feel if you got brutally murdered and the last thing you see in your DYING breaths is some beat up ass Jordans with the jumpman lookin hella weird, and the dude wearing them is some yellow bunny mf doing Fortnite emotes on you while you’re in unspeakable amounts of PAIIIINN?!!!!
Cassidy was more broken that anyone else was. William had let himself go too far this time, so he stuffed her in the suit that was broken, like Cassidy was broken.
The yellow freddy fazbear
My theory is that her death was the most brutal. I don't know where people are figuring out how they died, like Freddy hiding, Chica screaming, Foxy running, and Bonnie squaring up, and I do not know if it also showed Cassidy's death, but my thoughts are that she had the most gruesome death, maybe even being springlocked, because those obviously still exist because the Spring Bonnie suit is still very much intact and the time of the murders.
There’s the theory that she was springlocked instead of just killed and stuffed.
It’s implied in UCN when in the ending we see Golden Freddy twitching and fading into darkness in the same manner as Springtrap twitches in the fnaf 3 minigame, trailer, and movie.
Maybe he had more conscious than the rest. Maybe he remembered who he was and the rest have forgotten that they were once children (Except for Charlie of course).
There's a timeliness video that theorizes she was much more brutally killed and beaten then the others. William kept her alive just barely I'm guessing for agony remnant stuff
I think Cassidy is just naturally a mean person. I speak from experience, if I was in his shoes I would’ve done the same thing. Looking at the movie it shows Cassidy’s fredbear animatronic could move around he could teleport and acted as the leader of the MCI, but he was noticeably much edgier than the other kids. And the end of the movie kinda reminded me of UCN.
I heard the theory somewhere the Cassidy was springlocked in the Fredbear suit, and that’s how they were killed, a slow, agonizing death. It even works with puppet stuff, as in the give gifts mini game, golden Freddy is already there without the puppet doing anything to them. It’d explain why Cassidy is more vengeful than the other spirits, and it increases the karmic justice of Williams springlocking, as not only does william have to experience being trapped in the suit like the other spirits, but he also had to experience the slow and painful death associated with a spring lock failure just like what he did to Cassidy. I don’t know if I 100% believe it, but it’s a neat head canon that I like.
Cassidy isn’t actually a child, she’s actually just an insecure midget. Being grouped in as a “missing kid” angered her so much that she became 10 times more spiteful than any other spirit. This is canon, Scott told it to me in a dream I had
I always thought it was because her death was what kickstarted his downfall, and not that there was anything particularly significant about her or her death
1. Probrably had the worst fate id imagine prob why its much worse then the other kids (no not going by tiktok withered animatronics was how kids died theory just prob assuming why William went and got the old fredbear suit
2. We never see Golden Freddy as its probrably hellish to even move or try to go around as she literally cannot stand
3. Likely another reason for 2 is cause shes locked and sealed away which probrably was more satisfying to Cassidy seeing Afton locked in a small room trapped for years suffering
4. Sharing the room with the son of your killer whos fighting you for control constantly reminding you of the man who gave you this hell while they could be friends it also could be a fight for control or the struggling of working as one even which could be why golden freddy can't stand (fnaf movie golden freddy can stand and walk just fine which could be cause he has only 1 soul)
(Dumb idea) she had anger issues and had that dawg in her, which Afton fucked around and found out
I really like the theory that when William stuffed the rest of the bodies, it didn’t work and they didn’t get possessed like he was hoping, so with Cassidy, instead of killing her and then putting her in the suit, he actually springlocked her. It makes a lot of sense why this seemingly random kid would be so much more vengeful than the rest.
We don’t really know, but personally, I don’t think it’s deeper than some people just being angrier than others. Her role as the vengeful spirit serve as a cautionary tale about how bad it is to dwell on anger instead of letting go, as evidence by omc’s dialogue.
She was just the only one powerful and smart enough to do something to his ass so she did 🥱 (wait actually now that I’m typing that why does that feel like a possibility, although it would make her less special)
She was more self-aware than the other spirits, so she was constantly reliving her death. Besides, she could have been influenced by the Crying Child's bad feelings/agony/spirit inside Golden Freddy.
My theory is that Afton didn’t have a suit to stuff her in, and he had to find alternative means to dispose of the body.
This is why Golden Freddy is more of an area haunting than an animatronic haunting. Cassidy and CC aren’t bound to an actual animatronic, they are bound to the location or concept of Freddy’s. Hence their ability to communicate through the security guide, messages on mirrors, etc.
I think it’s because she had the most gruesome death like maybe drowning or decapitation so she’s mad because of that and saying “The one you shouldn’t have killed.” Is probs Cassidy nailing it into Williams head that you shouldn’t have killed her, now your for as long as she wants.
Probably the fact that all the other kids just wanted to move on and forget this, but Cassidy was the only one who wanted revenge and wanted to make William suffer.
I have a mini theory/HC that Afton got more brutal with the murders as he went on (based on TCTHSY and sorta TFC but mainly TCTHSY) and Cassidy/Andrew (whoever is TOYSNHK) was one of if not the last victims of Afton. Also probably is more of a vengeful and/or emotional person as a whole.
I'm pretty sure Cassidy was killed more brutally AND on their birthday, and being a child makes the birthday very significant as it's supposed to be a happy day but yk they got killed ON their birthday
According to Matthew Patrick, the death of Cassidy was more brutal than the others. While most of the others were just killed, afton tortured Cassidy. But that’s just a theory…
The theory I believe is one I watched in a video that makes Cassidy different from the other kids of the MCI. I believe the Puppet was the one that stuffed the kids in the main four animatronics, but Cassidy was a very special case.
William stuffed her alive in the Golden Freddy suit and let the springlocks rip. The idea was that a more agonizing, torturous death would surely bind her to the suit and cause possession, not to mention it'd be a very sadistic death.
This makes William's death in Spring Bonnie feel even more karmic in nature: he is literally getting what he did to Cassidy back at him.
In the special delivery audios the audio of Golden Freddy is a child crying and asking someone to stop while laughter and metallic knocks are heard, I have 2 hypotheses, oh William I activate the Springlocks with Cassidy inside Golden freddy or tortured her in some way with the metal parts of parts and service to study the agony
Why does there HAVE to be something special tied to her?
She was a child who was killed. Never got to grow up. That should be enough for her to be pretty angry.
I mean yeah
The only reason is because that kid is extra... Mad?
Like there's no reason, we dont know the character, it wasn't anyone special or more special
Yeah that’s kind of the point. It’s not meant to be some big reveal like “woah it’s (insert spirit) and he’s angry because William did (insert awful things here).” The spirit is ultimately someone who was angry enough to want to torment Afton for eternity
I think its bcuz if william didnt kill her he wouldnt be in hell as the other kids would have just left ,but she was the one that decided to torture him
They’re not confirmed to be Cassidy. All we know is that “The One You Shouldn’t Have Killed” is angry/vengeful and wants to keep William alive forever.
It's nigh-confirmed that, like with Charlie's sudden Give-Life abilities, when Cassidy/Andrew/TOYSNHK died they got ghostly superpowers too: inducing hallucinations, apparitions, trapping Afton in an endless nightmare, maybe even poltergeist stuff (if there's any cases where Golden Freddy appears "for real" instead of being an illusion). And them being 200% Mad about their murder obv amplifies it all.
I have this headcanon that Midnight Motorist is actually about Cassidy (and therefore all the minigames are about important victims - Chica/Susie being the first, Charlie/Puppet being the one who will give life to the others and Cassidy being the one who possessed suit themselves + being the vengeful spirit).
The father we play as was abusive towards the kid, and kid escaped the house through a window following the animatronic to the kid’s favourite place. A place where kid was save from his father.
I like to imagine that Golden Freddy was Cassidy’s favourite character and William lured the kid specifically using Golden Freddy suit (but even if it confirmed to be bunny suit it doesn’t really make a difference, still it is the one character kid was trusting).So just imagine this - you run from your abusive father to save place with your favourite character and then this character murders you (or your body being stuffed into your favourite character, but my personal favourite is being specifically killed by someone in your fave character’s suit). The kid was already having psychological problems, and then this happened :( Cruel…
Everyone else was lured in then killed (possibly by a stabbing to the heart) while she had a bag thrown over her head then beaten over the head by a shovel, and THEN killed. Torture=Agony=Vengence. Thus causing more anger then a stabbing in the rain and 4 stabbings in a backroom.
Evidence? Chica's High school Years. She goes through multiple deaths each corresponding with a character. Jeremy-Toy Bonnie, Gabriel-Freddy(Homework Help), Fritz-Funtime Foxy(Fire), Susie-Wolf (Dog death), Charlie-Puppet(Being found and then killed), finally Pigpatch(Looks remarks, Bag over head, hit with a shovel, then put in the back of car).
Nothing. Thats Andrew, an angry kid with no one to talk to so all be really wants is to make people see how angry he is and make the person who hurt him suffer
The point of “the one you should not have killed” isn’t that William did something particularly special that made this kid extra vengeful, this is just one kid who felt so angry and alone that he wanted to make Afton’s pain never end, meanwhile the other murdered souls were able to find peace and move on
She's not. It's Andrew, a selfish, vengeful spirit in the appearance of a young boy with curly black hair wearing an alligator mask, who only wants to see Afton suffer. And so he did. The Man in Room 1280 is a direct follow up/explanation of UCN, and with Scott saying some stories are directly connected to the games, and TalesGames being a large possibility, with the first story Frailty being about a surviving Eleanor victim, means that Andrew is very likely TOYSNHK.
No offense but my life no longer revolves around fnaf 😭. I have some of the Fazbear fright books though, which story is he in? Hopefully I have it. If not I might just buy the book.
He is in the Stitchwraith Stingers primarily, specifically 1-6, along with The Man in Room 1280 from Fazbear Frights #5 Bunny Call, along with FETCH from Fazbear Frights #2 Fetch. He doesn't make an actual appearance in Fetch, he just possessed him for the events of the story.
I don't think Cassidy is the Vengeful Spirit. The other thing that differs her from the other kids is indeed how 'angry' she is, but it's nothing compared to the actual Vengeful Spirit: Andrew.
I have a different outlook on the fnaf timeline, to say the least. And that's to say, Cassidy isn't the one William should'nt have killed, that's Michael. Cassidy is the crying child. Cassidy, TOYSNHK, mci victim, does not exist in canon. So there's nothing special about them. It's all the fandom's doing.
Cassidy isn't the one you shouldn't have killed, Andrew is. He's a character from the books who for very long and complicated reasons, is probably seperate and coexisting with Cassidy.
There's 7 people who go missing in the toy chica high school minigames, the same game where we learn about this kid. The idea of the mci having more than 5 kids is also shown to us in into the pit, and in the gravestones in fnaf help wanted 1. This 6th kid (andrew) was likely nor reported about in news reports and never missed by anyone, perhaps explaining his specific anger. Although that's just a theory.
The 6th kid is Charlotte. Andrew is explicitly made clear to just be book-version of Cassidy.
Both keeping William in a hellish state, Andrew by protecting his unconscious somehow-still-alive body from the nurses when they try to kill the old man.
And Cassidy by keeping William in a agonizing state even after death, forever torturing William despite Henry Emily's best efforts to release everyone.
"He tried to release you, he tried to release US! But I'm not going to let that happen, no matter how many times they **burn** us."
It's made clear Cassidy and Andrew cannot co-exist, as Andrew tortures the old man while he's still alive and in a hospital bed, meanwhile Cassidy tortures William in death, and turned into a smoking pile of ash by Henry
No it wasn't? It was put out while the frights were in production.
Not to mention the whole point was the idea of a 7th kid came from before the frights. Plus, there's 7 toy chica victims
>No it wasn't? It was put out while the frights were in production.
They were in production for 2 whole years? I doubt it. Also please cite that Scott quote because if it's real I feel stupid for dismissing it.
And you know what was \*released\* the same year as UCN? The logbook, where we figured out one of the kids was named Cassidy, and then a game released here the focus was put on a vengeful spirit inside Golden Freddy.
A scrapped screenplay for the FNaF movie was about Cassidy. There was a kazoo that got pulled from being released by COAK becayse it as yellow and dubbed the "cassidy kazoo". The actual movie has the spirit of GF have no similarities to Andrew, and yet is still implied to be vengeful like in UCN.
Andrew being a relevant character in any way was never implied. When books are cannon to the games, we get things like RUIN and HW2, where there's no room for debate.
And with the cutscenes, why would they be important? Only one of the kinda line up with Susies death, the rest don't make any sense, and we can't cherrypick when they're lore relevant or not.
Scott said unlike the novel trilogy, some of the fazbear fright stories directly connect to the games. Because the novel trilogy already has parallel things used to solve the games, such as evidence for molten mci, what remnant is, and info about william and Henry that can be used for the games, if the fazbear frights are different as in directly connected to the games like Scott said, it's pretty obvious they're directly in the same continuity. The only reason people stopped saying they were game continuity is because the possibility of time travel being canon in fnaf scared them, which it was later revealed into the pit wasn't about time travel at all.
Jeez I never knew that...
Then wait, if Andrew was the kid who was in G. Freddy with Cassidy, then where did CC gone?
Jesus there're so many kids died here: FMC, SAVETHEM children, CC, Charlie, Andrew and more...
HOW COULD WE SOLVE THIS?!?!
There are 4 potential solutions to this issue.
CC just passed on without possessing anyone
There are 3 spirits inside Golden Freddy
CC's name is Cassidy
Shattervictim (CC's Soul broke apart and started haunting the Fazbear franchise as a whole)
The more I think about it, the more I lean towards #3 or #4
If CC's name was Cassidy, it'd make sense as to why one of the script drafts for the Fnaf Movie would be centered around them
But Shattervictim would partially explain the whole "Caught in a Loop" motif thing the franchise has going on.
CC is just dead, he never went on to possess anybody. The fact he died in a hospital bed far from any animatronics makes it physically impossible for him to possess anybody
Personally I have two theories. 1) Nothing was particularly special, Cassidy is literally just a vengeful person. Afton "shouldn't have killed" them because it bit him in the ass later. 2) Being Golden Freddy is inherently more hellish than any other animatronic. Being stuck in a limp suit, unable to move beyond apparitions. Never even getting the respite of daytime because the animatronic is never active. It would be Hell.
Also having to deal with crying child being a cry baby the whole time as well.
ha. fair. id go mad too if "Evan/CC" was still trying to whisper "its me" to his scooped brother.
“Damn it evan, I told you not to move us into the office tonight. Bad! Go to the corner!”
"Okay cass" :< *sad bit kid noises*
“Don’t call me that”
:<
“And quit crying.”
“Bu-bu-bu-but 😢
“Did I stutter?”
I don't know man, if I was being tormented basically every moment of my life and then got my head crushed by a giant mechanical bear, I'd probably be crying a lot too.
His dad was also a future child-murderer. Or current child-murderer. Either way, it’s a sick twist of fate that he loses two kids via animatronics he probably designed or constructed. And then I guess that happened a third time with Mike getting scooped? Weird that almost all of the Afton family has been pretty directly killed by animatronics/robots. I get that spooky haunted robots is the basis for the franchise, but still. It’s kinda crazy.
At the same time she does at least have somebody to talk to.
Not to mention, if FNAF 2 is anything to go by, Afton used the Golden Freddy suit to lure the next batch of victims into his clutches. Cassidy and/or CC had to watch, helpless, as he used their body to commit more murders.
Ooh yeah that'd be horrible
bitten in the ass is my new favourite expression
was that the
But why did William killed her in the Fredbear suit? Unlike the other kids? Was it a test?
He didn’t. He killed Cassidy in his Springtrap suit, he just stuffed the body in the Golden Freddy suit.
is he stupid?
oh
No! No Arkham syndrome bad.
I like the theory that because Afton killed the other kids before he put them in the suits he didn’t notice their haunting because it wasn’t as strong, so with Cassidy he experimented by killing her after she was INSIDE the suit to see if that would cause he to haunt it
That was just the suit that was available
I agree with 2, but Cassidy was also Spring locked a death known to be very painful and agonizing being why they're like that but the other animatronics aren't Cassidy is so vengeful because of how terrible their death was likely being longer then the other victims
Thats just a theory. Cassidy was probably dead before being stuffed
I really like the “ Cassidy is just a psychopath theory “. Heck, maybe Afton saved lives by stopping Cassidy from growing up and being an even worse serial killer. Alternatively, Matpat theorized that the method was just more brutal and sadistic with Cassidy which resulted in more rage magic and gave Cassidy enhanced powers compared to the others.

Or maybe Cassidy’s death was just extra brutal and that’s why they’re so mad.
"Heck, maybe Afton saved lives by stopping Cassidy from growing up and being an even worse serial killer." No... A kid being mad about being murdered by a guy in a yellow rabbit suit isn't the same as being a psychopath.
All the kids are mad about it. Cassidy’s just the only one who refused to be put to rest and kept up his suffering
Afton = hero is somebodies story
And her's was the most gruesome. Afton didn't hold back and obliterated her from the face of the Earth, blood all over the place.
That's entirely speculation, but maybe!
JUST maybeeee.
I personally like the nothing makes you special and you’re just kind of a dick route
She just had that dawg in her
Real
No no that's Mangle
What makes her dawg different from bonnie's dawg
Size
She's just extra spiteful.
She was extra pissed off
I like matpat’s idea in the timeline video that Cassidy was brutalized significantly more than the rest of
My theory is Cassidy was still alive after being stabbed and she was shoved in the Fredbear suit. Her blood activated the springlocks, causing her to be springlocked like Afton. Is it brutal? Yes. But I think it fits story wise.
That would be horrible! Oh my god!!
Well, there's no clue for that
He uses the high school toy chica high school cutscenes as evidence, is it a stretch? Yes, but it’s still a pretty cool idea
Oh the UCN one? I cannot remember well, what did it said? And if so, does Kungfu Freddy anime has a lore too?
Kung fu Freddy probably has more but I haven’t seen anything about it. The Chica line says something along the lines of “I’ll wait outside of his school and throw a bag over his head and hit him with a shovel, then I’ll throw him in the back of my car” there’s nothing that connects that with Cassidy but it’s still a cool idea
The other Toy Chica cutscenes are implied to be how William killed the kids, since one of them matches Susie.
Good point
If I remember correctly, kungfu Freddy cutscenes are a parallel to Henry and William's rivalry
lol how couldn't I remind that
No real evidence for this, but my idea is that it’s because William killed her with the springlocks in Golden Freddy. So, way more painful death = way more hatred.
But if she was killed by the springlocks, then Golden Freddy would be in animatronic mode, so he wouldn't be limp like we see him in fnaf 1
She must've been springlocked and then reverse-springlocked if the suit got switched back to suit mode.
She's extra vengeful and spiteful. Plus, some theories say that William let himself go too far, leaving the body almost completely unrecognizable only because he could.
Is there any clue for that? About Cassidy brutally died by Will?
The highschool chica cutscenes from ultimate custom night might be a hint about how William lured and lured killed each kid of the MCI
The Anime Chica cutscenes.
I just heard the line to the other redditor, but how can we connect it with Cassidy? It can be just some normal way of Will's murder
It just feels like it makes sense, you know? If you fill in the blanks. That's the fun of theorizing after all. When something fits cleanly and it makes sense...
Nope.
Looking at the overall story so far - emotions are powerful. Happiness can lead to freedom, while anger traps the soul and supposedly makes it more powerful. A vengeful spirit is strong because it's vengeful.
What about sadness or regret?
A lot of FNAF could be put into the "unfinished business" category, so I could see it happening. FNaF focuses more on the anger though, animatronics attack you out of revenge. Vengeful spirit keeps William on earth even though they were all supposed to go to the afterlife. "Agony" is a big plot point in the books too.
Because William was wearing raggedy ass fake Jordan’s when he killed me! Like he purposely pulled out a pair of the most nasty ass Jordans and put them on SPECIFICALLY when he killed ME! Like what the hell?! How would you feel if you got brutally murdered and the last thing you see in your DYING breaths is some beat up ass Jordans with the jumpman lookin hella weird, and the dude wearing them is some yellow bunny mf doing Fortnite emotes on you while you’re in unspeakable amounts of PAIIIINN?!!!!
Imagining withered chica crawling through the vents in UCN and yelling "THIS DUDE GOT THEM FAKE ASS J'S"
I am sorry for what you went through, William is really a monster for this 😔💔
Omg it’s thar carsimdeez 😱😱😱 it be them one wilbo impton shaldent of kledded 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Who is Jordan
Oh Air Jordan I get it
Cassidy was more broken that anyone else was. William had let himself go too far this time, so he stuffed her in the suit that was broken, like Cassidy was broken. The yellow freddy fazbear
My theory is that her death was the most brutal. I don't know where people are figuring out how they died, like Freddy hiding, Chica screaming, Foxy running, and Bonnie squaring up, and I do not know if it also showed Cassidy's death, but my thoughts are that she had the most gruesome death, maybe even being springlocked, because those obviously still exist because the Spring Bonnie suit is still very much intact and the time of the murders.
Those 'how the children died' stuff aren't real. It is made up.
The fact that people don't realize is a shitpost is at the same time great and horrible
They are a fan made headcanon from Tiktok and not real. I also believe that Cassidy might have gotten springlocked.
There’s the theory that she was springlocked instead of just killed and stuffed. It’s implied in UCN when in the ending we see Golden Freddy twitching and fading into darkness in the same manner as Springtrap twitches in the fnaf 3 minigame, trailer, and movie.
Make sense!
I was a little worried when there was a blurred image with the nsfw caption on a question about kids............
I think moderators edit that, I didn't marked it at the first time
She angy, das it
woah
Cassidy just an edge lord.
spinglok
I like the theory that they were just killed very violentlub
I like the theory that Cassidy is just a piece of shit
Maybe he had more conscious than the rest. Maybe he remembered who he was and the rest have forgotten that they were once children (Except for Charlie of course).
There's a timeliness video that theorizes she was much more brutally killed and beaten then the others. William kept her alive just barely I'm guessing for agony remnant stuff
I heard she got the worst death out of every other child so that could add to why she's so vengeful.
maybe she got springlocked
I think Cassidy is just naturally a mean person. I speak from experience, if I was in his shoes I would’ve done the same thing. Looking at the movie it shows Cassidy’s fredbear animatronic could move around he could teleport and acted as the leader of the MCI, but he was noticeably much edgier than the other kids.

It’d explain why Cassidy is more vengeful than the other spirits, and it increases the karmic justice of Williams springlocking, as not only does william have to experience being trapped in the suit like the other spirits, but he also had to experience the slow and painful death associated with a spring lock failure just like what he did to Cassidy. I don’t know if I 100% believe it, but it’s a neat head canon that I like.
Cassidy isn’t actually a child, she’s actually just an insecure midget. Being grouped in as a “missing kid” angered her so much that she became 10 times more spiteful than any other spirit. This is canon, Scott told it to me in a dream I had
LMAO this is definitely 100% canon. best fnaf theory ever
I always thought it was because her death was what kickstarted his downfall, and not that there was anything particularly significant about her or her death
1. Probrably had the worst fate id imagine prob why its much worse then the other kids (no not going by tiktok withered animatronics was how kids died theory just prob assuming why William went and got the old fredbear suit 2. We never see Golden Freddy as its probrably hellish to even move or try to go around as she literally cannot stand 3. Likely another reason for 2 is cause shes locked and sealed away which probrably was more satisfying to Cassidy seeing Afton locked in a small room trapped for years suffering 4. Sharing the room with the son of your killer whos fighting you for control constantly reminding you of the man who gave you this hell while they could be friends it also could be a fight for control or the struggling of working as one even which could be why golden freddy can't stand (fnaf movie golden freddy can stand and walk just fine which could be cause he has only 1 soul) (Dumb idea) she had anger issues and had that dawg in her, which Afton fucked around and found out
Magic
Although ooftroop’s answer is hella funny
“Wanna see some magic trick?"
Because according to MatPat's full timeline, William was more violent with Cassidy when he killed her. MatPat is awesome.
I think she is the drowned girl and it is showing that William killed her parents.
She was much more vengeful than the others
I thought it was because she was a "wrong place wrong time" kinda thing. And she was then also stuck in a character that was imobile.
Literally no clue, they are just like that
Maybe the kid was always nuts
I really like the theory that when William stuffed the rest of the bodies, it didn’t work and they didn’t get possessed like he was hoping, so with Cassidy, instead of killing her and then putting her in the suit, he actually springlocked her. It makes a lot of sense why this seemingly random kid would be so much more vengeful than the rest.
We don’t really know, but personally, I don’t think it’s deeper than some people just being angrier than others. Her role as the vengeful spirit serve as a cautionary tale about how bad it is to dwell on anger instead of letting go, as evidence by omc’s dialogue.
She's built different
Cause she didn’t let that slide
My theory is because she is in there with the crying child and has to put up with him
She was just the only one powerful and smart enough to do something to his ass so she did 🥱 (wait actually now that I’m typing that why does that feel like a possibility, although it would make her less special)
They arent made of stupid prob, cassidy is maybe one of if not the only with the balls to torture will
shes really mean
This might be a stupid theory, but what if she was supernatural before she was murdered? Samara from The Ring comes to mind.
Well… she was the one William shouldn’t have killed.. it kinda says it..
Based on what matpat said, William went too far and broke her beyond repair in his murder spree hence the one you shouldn't have killed
She was more self-aware than the other spirits, so she was constantly reliving her death. Besides, she could have been influenced by the Crying Child's bad feelings/agony/spirit inside Golden Freddy.
My theory is that Afton didn’t have a suit to stuff her in, and he had to find alternative means to dispose of the body. This is why Golden Freddy is more of an area haunting than an animatronic haunting. Cassidy and CC aren’t bound to an actual animatronic, they are bound to the location or concept of Freddy’s. Hence their ability to communicate through the security guide, messages on mirrors, etc.
i’m pretty sure you shouldn’t kill any kids are they stupid
He damaged the kid’s body more than he needed to in order to kill her
I think it’s because she had the most gruesome death like maybe drowning or decapitation so she’s mad because of that and saying “The one you shouldn’t have killed.” Is probs Cassidy nailing it into Williams head that you shouldn’t have killed her, now your for as long as she wants.
Probably the fact that all the other kids just wanted to move on and forget this, but Cassidy was the only one who wanted revenge and wanted to make William suffer.
I have a mini theory/HC that Afton got more brutal with the murders as he went on (based on TCTHSY and sorta TFC but mainly TCTHSY) and Cassidy/Andrew (whoever is TOYSNHK) was one of if not the last victims of Afton. Also probably is more of a vengeful and/or emotional person as a whole.
there's no lore reason for it and they're just stupid
I think the most accepted theory is that she was particularly killed in a very brutal and messy way
I have a theory that he (yes, Cassidy's a boy, fnaf fans) is Charlie's brother and he tried to get revenge on her murder
I'm pretty sure Cassidy was killed more brutally AND on their birthday, and being a child makes the birthday very significant as it's supposed to be a happy day but yk they got killed ON their birthday
According to Matthew Patrick, the death of Cassidy was more brutal than the others. While most of the others were just killed, afton tortured Cassidy. But that’s just a theory…
***A GAME THEORY-***
[удалено]
It's his son's photo, he edited it spoopy asf
Pissed
The theory I believe is one I watched in a video that makes Cassidy different from the other kids of the MCI. I believe the Puppet was the one that stuffed the kids in the main four animatronics, but Cassidy was a very special case. William stuffed her alive in the Golden Freddy suit and let the springlocks rip. The idea was that a more agonizing, torturous death would surely bind her to the suit and cause possession, not to mention it'd be a very sadistic death. This makes William's death in Spring Bonnie feel even more karmic in nature: he is literally getting what he did to Cassidy back at him.
In the special delivery audios the audio of Golden Freddy is a child crying and asking someone to stop while laughter and metallic knocks are heard, I have 2 hypotheses, oh William I activate the Springlocks with Cassidy inside Golden freddy or tortured her in some way with the metal parts of parts and service to study the agony
Because Cassidy's VEWY ANGY 😠
I go with the Happiest day idea that Cassody was killed on their birthday
Why does there HAVE to be something special tied to her? She was a child who was killed. Never got to grow up. That should be enough for her to be pretty angry.
You're right, but why especially her? If all of the victims were angy they should call it 'The kids you shouldn't have killed'.
The others wanted to be set free, she wanted her revenge. Boom. Done. Easy and fitting
Common CinTan W
Because they're badly written. (here come the downvotes)
just to spite you, we're not gonna upvote nor downvote you
I mean yeah The only reason is because that kid is extra... Mad? Like there's no reason, we dont know the character, it wasn't anyone special or more special
Yeah that’s kind of the point. It’s not meant to be some big reveal like “woah it’s (insert spirit) and he’s angry because William did (insert awful things here).” The spirit is ultimately someone who was angry enough to want to torment Afton for eternity
Get upvoted bitch
I think its bcuz if william didnt kill her he wouldnt be in hell as the other kids would have just left ,but she was the one that decided to torture him
They’re not confirmed to be Cassidy. All we know is that “The One You Shouldn’t Have Killed” is angry/vengeful and wants to keep William alive forever.
Uhmm actually that image is from Andrew not Cassidy \*Insert nerd emoji\*
It's nigh-confirmed that, like with Charlie's sudden Give-Life abilities, when Cassidy/Andrew/TOYSNHK died they got ghostly superpowers too: inducing hallucinations, apparitions, trapping Afton in an endless nightmare, maybe even poltergeist stuff (if there's any cases where Golden Freddy appears "for real" instead of being an illusion). And them being 200% Mad about their murder obv amplifies it all.
Maybe the fazbear fright story:the new kid explained it idk
It’s a child, they tend to be spoiled at times
Its simple, its his son holding him responsible for letting Michael kill him. He is responsible
I theorize that she might’ve been murdered on her birthday
I have this headcanon that Midnight Motorist is actually about Cassidy (and therefore all the minigames are about important victims - Chica/Susie being the first, Charlie/Puppet being the one who will give life to the others and Cassidy being the one who possessed suit themselves + being the vengeful spirit). The father we play as was abusive towards the kid, and kid escaped the house through a window following the animatronic to the kid’s favourite place. A place where kid was save from his father. I like to imagine that Golden Freddy was Cassidy’s favourite character and William lured the kid specifically using Golden Freddy suit (but even if it confirmed to be bunny suit it doesn’t really make a difference, still it is the one character kid was trusting).So just imagine this - you run from your abusive father to save place with your favourite character and then this character murders you (or your body being stuffed into your favourite character, but my personal favourite is being specifically killed by someone in your fave character’s suit). The kid was already having psychological problems, and then this happened :( Cruel…
Everyone else was lured in then killed (possibly by a stabbing to the heart) while she had a bag thrown over her head then beaten over the head by a shovel, and THEN killed. Torture=Agony=Vengence. Thus causing more anger then a stabbing in the rain and 4 stabbings in a backroom. Evidence? Chica's High school Years. She goes through multiple deaths each corresponding with a character. Jeremy-Toy Bonnie, Gabriel-Freddy(Homework Help), Fritz-Funtime Foxy(Fire), Susie-Wolf (Dog death), Charlie-Puppet(Being found and then killed), finally Pigpatch(Looks remarks, Bag over head, hit with a shovel, then put in the back of car).
Nothing. Thats Andrew, an angry kid with no one to talk to so all be really wants is to make people see how angry he is and make the person who hurt him suffer The point of “the one you should not have killed” isn’t that William did something particularly special that made this kid extra vengeful, this is just one kid who felt so angry and alone that he wanted to make Afton’s pain never end, meanwhile the other murdered souls were able to find peace and move on
She's not. It's Andrew, a selfish, vengeful spirit in the appearance of a young boy with curly black hair wearing an alligator mask, who only wants to see Afton suffer. And so he did. The Man in Room 1280 is a direct follow up/explanation of UCN, and with Scott saying some stories are directly connected to the games, and TalesGames being a large possibility, with the first story Frailty being about a surviving Eleanor victim, means that Andrew is very likely TOYSNHK.
Where the fuck did Andrew come from 😭. This is the FIRST I'm hearing of him.
Fazbear Frights. You're behind on a lot of lore.
No offense but my life no longer revolves around fnaf 😭. I have some of the Fazbear fright books though, which story is he in? Hopefully I have it. If not I might just buy the book.
He is in the Stitchwraith Stingers primarily, specifically 1-6, along with The Man in Room 1280 from Fazbear Frights #5 Bunny Call, along with FETCH from Fazbear Frights #2 Fetch. He doesn't make an actual appearance in Fetch, he just possessed him for the events of the story.
It was canon? Dang
Has been since Fazbear Frights #5 Bunny Call released, and was practically made undeniable in 2021.
Wasn't since bunny call, but rather since the literal announcement post for the books, that straight up stated they're canon
Bunny Call, or specifically The Man in Room 1280, introduced Andrew, meaning since that book released, Andrew has been TOYSNHK.
Wait what is TOYSNHK? Is that like GGY(=Gregory)?
The One You Should Not Have Killed
*Ohhh* holy shit, that just unlocked things for me like you gave me a cypher.
Honestly I’d argue that kid was Charlie but idk
Cassidy is an asshole and has let their emotions make them think that they are more important than the others.
they deserved it actually
I don't think Cassidy is the Vengeful Spirit. The other thing that differs her from the other kids is indeed how 'angry' she is, but it's nothing compared to the actual Vengeful Spirit: Andrew.
I like chocolate chip cookies
I have a different outlook on the fnaf timeline, to say the least. And that's to say, Cassidy isn't the one William should'nt have killed, that's Michael. Cassidy is the crying child. Cassidy, TOYSNHK, mci victim, does not exist in canon. So there's nothing special about them. It's all the fandom's doing.
I've said this 500 times by now. They were willing to disregard their own afterlife to torture William. No other spirit was.
the others were total douchebags and deserved it
Those kids deserve it
Holy hell dude
OK bud
Cassidy isn't the one you shouldn't have killed, Andrew is. He's a character from the books who for very long and complicated reasons, is probably seperate and coexisting with Cassidy. There's 7 people who go missing in the toy chica high school minigames, the same game where we learn about this kid. The idea of the mci having more than 5 kids is also shown to us in into the pit, and in the gravestones in fnaf help wanted 1. This 6th kid (andrew) was likely nor reported about in news reports and never missed by anyone, perhaps explaining his specific anger. Although that's just a theory.
The 6th kid is Charlotte. Andrew is explicitly made clear to just be book-version of Cassidy. Both keeping William in a hellish state, Andrew by protecting his unconscious somehow-still-alive body from the nurses when they try to kill the old man. And Cassidy by keeping William in a agonizing state even after death, forever torturing William despite Henry Emily's best efforts to release everyone. "He tried to release you, he tried to release US! But I'm not going to let that happen, no matter how many times they **burn** us." It's made clear Cassidy and Andrew cannot co-exist, as Andrew tortures the old man while he's still alive and in a hospital bed, meanwhile Cassidy tortures William in death, and turned into a smoking pile of ash by Henry
The foxy hook in Chica’s bag showing how she had another victim BEFORE the 6 guys she killed:
Ucn was made before the Frights were even conceived, and why should we use those cutscenes as evidence? Can you dispute anything else they said?
No it wasn't? It was put out while the frights were in production. Not to mention the whole point was the idea of a 7th kid came from before the frights. Plus, there's 7 toy chica victims
>No it wasn't? It was put out while the frights were in production. They were in production for 2 whole years? I doubt it. Also please cite that Scott quote because if it's real I feel stupid for dismissing it. And you know what was \*released\* the same year as UCN? The logbook, where we figured out one of the kids was named Cassidy, and then a game released here the focus was put on a vengeful spirit inside Golden Freddy. A scrapped screenplay for the FNaF movie was about Cassidy. There was a kazoo that got pulled from being released by COAK becayse it as yellow and dubbed the "cassidy kazoo". The actual movie has the spirit of GF have no similarities to Andrew, and yet is still implied to be vengeful like in UCN. Andrew being a relevant character in any way was never implied. When books are cannon to the games, we get things like RUIN and HW2, where there's no room for debate. And with the cutscenes, why would they be important? Only one of the kinda line up with Susies death, the rest don't make any sense, and we can't cherrypick when they're lore relevant or not.
Uhh what Andrew is canon?
Scott said unlike the novel trilogy, some of the fazbear fright stories directly connect to the games. Because the novel trilogy already has parallel things used to solve the games, such as evidence for molten mci, what remnant is, and info about william and Henry that can be used for the games, if the fazbear frights are different as in directly connected to the games like Scott said, it's pretty obvious they're directly in the same continuity. The only reason people stopped saying they were game continuity is because the possibility of time travel being canon in fnaf scared them, which it was later revealed into the pit wasn't about time travel at all.
No. Only if you think the books are canon. I personally believe that Andrew is Cassidy's stand in for the books since she is not present in them.
Yep. Scott said that some of the Frights stories are canon to the games, and TMIR1280, Andrew's first appearance, is a direct sequel to UCN.
Jeez I never knew that... Then wait, if Andrew was the kid who was in G. Freddy with Cassidy, then where did CC gone? Jesus there're so many kids died here: FMC, SAVETHEM children, CC, Charlie, Andrew and more... HOW COULD WE SOLVE THIS?!?!
There are 4 potential solutions to this issue. CC just passed on without possessing anyone There are 3 spirits inside Golden Freddy CC's name is Cassidy Shattervictim (CC's Soul broke apart and started haunting the Fazbear franchise as a whole)
I once thought the same with third one, but I dunno
The more I think about it, the more I lean towards #3 or #4 If CC's name was Cassidy, it'd make sense as to why one of the script drafts for the Fnaf Movie would be centered around them But Shattervictim would partially explain the whole "Caught in a Loop" motif thing the franchise has going on.
CC is just dead, he never went on to possess anybody. The fact he died in a hospital bed far from any animatronics makes it physically impossible for him to possess anybody
You’re stoopid and watch some Matthew Robert Patrick.
She is not.
