Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Yeah so imma be real. I was just fucking wrong 🤷🏻♂️ Still got the characters, major story beats, and (some of) the costumes, so I'm happy. Still believe VIP canonises circleplex, so I got what I wanted from the books 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 11/06/2025no, because real! found out about them like a week or two ago, and i LOVE it 000
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Because Murray didn't create costumes in The Mimic, he was sent them by Fazbear Entertainment 130
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 10/06/2025There's no way MCM has been around for 7 years. Murray Co? Yeah. But MCM? nah 120

Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 30/05/2025So Edwin made the HUG vacuum, then developed Mimic1, before essentially merging the two later on to create that monstrosity? Murray's a weird dude, but i fw it 000
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 30/05/2025The marketing for SOTM paints Edwin as having gone a little bit crazy (namely the funhouse-esque look to the front of Murray's Costume Manor). Likely due to the amount of grief and trauma he'd gone through 010
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 29/05/2025As I was thinking, I remembered the part of The Storyteller that literally hinted at MCM existing. Compare this quote of what Edwin draws (again, while in front of the WHITE TIGER) to the MCM logo. Sure, it could be random scribbles, but the fact the MCM logo has the same thing is suspect to me- 000
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 27/05/2025I've started reading fanfic and imagining myself in one of the characters' place, incase this thread doesnt tell you what you need to know about me 010
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 27/05/2025They were likely the endoskeletons used in the other animatronics (as seen in these two steam page screenshots), however, either after, or shortly before, the model 2s were deactivated to stop Mimic/Mimic1 corrupting them too- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025okay, i hate the model 2s, so imma just speed through this part: Despite the model 2s being deactivated, Tales only eludes to the ORIGINAL causing issues (aka: the event i've yapped about for the first like ten posts), this implies the model 2s were active at the same time as the original- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025alternatively, if you subscribe to the theory that FFP was SUPPOSED to open in 1979, but then was delayed, due to the events of SOTM, then Murray Co/ Murray's Costume Manor could've been creating animatronics for Freddy's- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025it belonged to Edwin Murray, obviously, as he was an engineer for Fazbear's. i'm aware it says they built characters for FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZERIAS, as opposed to Fredbear's or FallFest, but i'm chalking that up to Freddy's being better known in the eyes of the people reading the notebook (Lucia)- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025We learn that they were built to fit into any mascot costume, and were taught their show routines off other animatronics, as opposed to being programmed (like a regular animatronic would). the notebook containing this info, belonged to an engineer on the FazEnt animatronic creation team. who?- 100

Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025I'm just making a thread about something I enjoy. I'm not claiming I'm "right". If TalesGames doesnt end up being true? Kinda sucks, but whatever, I ain't gonna throw a fit about it. This is all just for FUN 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Agree to disagree, I think - from the right angle - it makes sense 200
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Also i'm not saying DIRECTLY after, there's a decent bit of time between the end of the story and SOTM. I think SOTM picks up in December, due to the snow in one shot 000
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Ooh actually, there's an interesting detail I didnt mention. If you track the timeline of the first half of The Mimic, it goes from March to (at the latest) May. However, Ron mentions to both Team A and B that Edwin had disappeared "a few months ago". May to December is a little longer than that 200
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Hey, quick question for research purposes. Do you believe Prototype Glamrock Freddy is the same one as the one from Security Breach? 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025It'll cover stuff like: - what Edwin saw - how Mimic got burnt - how Mimic learnt hide and seek 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025I don't believe there ARE issues, but: We get the start of the story with 'The Mimic' and the end of the story with 'The Storyteller' (and RUIN, but still). I believe SOTM will account for the middle chunk that's eluded towards, but purposefully omitted from the books 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Please read the thread before commenting. You don't have to agree, I'm merely speculating how the "issues" are squared away 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Speaking of "the full truth", let's now talk about the mimic line. These guys were mass produced mimics that had the ability to (just like RUIN and SOTM Mimic) expand and contract to fit into any suit. To start off, I feel it's heavily implied that Mimic's new head belonged to one of them- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025he could've even used the Mimic1 code as a sort of bargaining chip, promising to let Fazbear Entertainment use it for whatever they wanted, if they'd give him a higher salary, and help fund the renovation. that would mean the line from the trailer WASN'T a lie, it just wasn't the full truth- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025So, to recap: After part 1 of 'The Mimic', Edwin fixed Mimic up, before taking the Mimic1 program, to develop further, in an effort to take control of his company (Murray Co) again (as FazEnt had bought it out). He then returns and, with a change in his contract, renovated the factory into MCM- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025let me say that again. they are inventions from MURRAY CO, NOT Murray's Costume Manor. this doesn't mean they're pre-costume manor, but rather that Murray Co was in active operation (likely being the parent company to MCM). It can be deduced, therefore, that Edwin did what he set out to do- 110
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025The recent videos on SW's channel are advertisements for inventions from Murray Co. Both of which are implied to be built off Mimic1 / Mimic's abilities, with the coffee machine "watching and learning", while the coat rack can expand and contract to fit whatever it need to hold.- 110
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Why would Edwin fix him up? currently, it's unknown, but I think it's because he wanted a (functional) copy of the Mimic1 code to tinker with while away from the factory. Does this have any evidence? Yes. have a look at this quote from part 1. Murray wanted to use Mimic1 to get his company back- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025the end of TM part 1 describes how Edwin was beating the crap out of Mimic, rendering him almost completely inoperable. meanwhile, in part 2, Mimic's said to be inoperable due to... not having legs? the damage done in part 1 isn't mentioned at all. I think Edwin fixed him up before leaving- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025However, you may notice that Mimic's eyes in SOTM is different from how they're described in 'The Mimic'. Whereas in SOTM, they seem to be burner coils (keep that in mind), in TM, they're simple doll eyes. This is where one of the unexplained details from TM could actually be important- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025This isn't even mentioning the fact that Mimic seemed to have been mass produced at some point, after being retrieved. But, what's interesting, is that we've now gotten TWO hints that SOTM may end in fire (the coat rack tape, and the initial teaser). as well as that, Mimic has a different head here- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025I've spoken about Edwin, so let's shift focus for a moment, to talk about Mimic itself. Mimic in 'The Mimic' ends, wearing a purple lion costume, having just torn a dude's trachea out. Next time we see it, chronologically, however, it's survived some sorta fire, and has a new head with rabbit ears- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Going off my last point (i'm aware i'm jumping around a little, sorry, i've got so many thoughts and not much skill at articulating them), if you follow Tales, you'll realise there are a load of small inconsistencies that link up to hint at an event after The Mimic, but before the Pizzaplex arc- 101
Reposted by GlitchGlitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Haven't posted on here in a while, so - in the spirit of SOTM's release coming up - I figured I may as well make a post about how Tales actually DOES fit with SOTM, despite the supposed "issues" (a thread) 162
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025simple answer: Fazbear's funded it. compare these two quotes, from 'The Storyteller' and 'The Mimic'. Edwin's buyout contract seemed to have been altered to give him a larger salary. Tales seems to have a period of time that was purposefully omitted from the books, where these changes occurred- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025the presence of employees in MCM is kind of weird. 'The Mimic' clearly showed that Edwin worked alone. it does make sense, considering that the Costume Manor is far larger than the factory from 'The Mimic'. that, however, brings us back to the question: assuming this is all true, HOW IS IT LARGER?- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025the voices say stuff like "my legs" and "this way". there's also some pained groaning towards the end. that, coupled with what i said previously, HEAVILY implies that Mimic went rogue and started killing people (likely MCM employees). also, there were employees in MCM, unlike the factory in Tales- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025so, back to the potential "Mimic Massacre", there IS solid evidence to support this idea, presented in SOTM itself. There are human arms seen in the trailer. As well as that, while I don't have audio proof, the new teaser (the coat rack one) has panicked speaking in the background- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025a quick detour, because people will likely bring it up: yes, that flashback isn't related to David. he reacts with sheer terror when confronting the White Tiger, but here's how he reacts when remembering David. Sad (obviously), but not spiraling into a full-blown panic attack- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025we also get the full-sized white tiger. neat, so that's how the characters' corruption ties in, how about LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE? this is where things get interesting. upon seeing the tiger head, we get this passage. which, to me, doesn't sound likewhat happens to David, but rather a massacre- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025So, let's break this scene down "No wonder the Pizzaplex characters were changing. No wonder problems were cropping up all over. It was happening again." The scenario is a bunch of animatronics being corrupted by Mimic1. sound familiar? It's clear that Mimic's program is corrupting these guys- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025The best place to start is with 'The Storyteller'. According to this story, Edwin has trauma related to The Storyteller (the white tiger) and Mimic1, both of which either didn't exist (the full sized white tiger) or had no reason to scare him, in 'The Mimic', meaning this trauma came from elsewhere- 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025you may immediately notice that NONE of what's shown off about the Manor is described in 'The Mimic' short story, and you'd be right. MCM is FAR larger than Murray's factory in that story. Sure, it's still about the size of a small mansion, but it's still TINY. so, how do we solve this? (3/?) 100
Glitch @glitch2023.bsky.social · 26/05/2025I'm aware this subject has been talked to death, but I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. So, to give you some bearings, SOTM releases June 13th and is about Fazbear Entertainment sending an employee into Murray's Costume Manor, to "retrieve a prototype endoskeleton" (2/?) 100
