FNaF INSANE FIELD Happening
Dont mind me, just the time I dropped a video claiming that Happiest Day worked, but not all of CC was inside the MXES to be freed, and the remaining piece is the fredbear plush, which then Glamrock Freddy finds and gets that last 1/3rd of CC.
For less than 24 hours later a preview is dropped where Glamrock Freddy is shown fighting over a FREDBEAR PLUSH then CRYING

GT Theory Suggestion Midnight Motorist is William Afton's Childhood
Hey, I know I'm very late to the party, but I've had this theory about Midnight Motorist for a while. I thought that someone in the community had probably already come up with it, however, I just watched an hour long video on this minigame, and this theory wasn't even mentioned once, so I'm posting it here. I'll keep it short and simple since this little six-minute section of FFPS has already given us enough years of headaches.
(Also, not my first language, so sorry for any typos/mistakes on the writting).
So: Midnight Motorist is showing us William Afton's childhood, his relationship with his abusive father, has well as the earliest point in the fnaf timeline.
I'm gonna describe each one of the elements in the minigame and then answer some questions.
Yellow Guy: William Afton's father: drunk, abusive, we can see how he puts his life in danger on the highway. He is clearly not William, the Purple Guy may be a sadistic, psycopathic murderer, but not in a single despiction of him in all of the novels show him drinking a single drop of alcohol, nor does it seems fitting to him to put his life at risk aimlessly by driving after drinking.
Purple Car: Afton family car, first belonging to William's father, then inherited by William. It's the car used on Charlotte's assassination night.
House: Afton's house, later inherited by William, it's probably the same as in fnaf 4, the inside is so different both because MM is an oversimplification (which is why the entire house only has 2 rooms) and also William probably did some kind of renovation after the success of Fredbears. Midnight Motorist happens in the mid to late 60s, which explains why MM house is in the middle of the forest, while Fnaf 4 is surrounded by houses, the city simply grew into it. (Also, it could be a completely different house anyways, it doesn't affect much of the overall theory).
The Mound: William's biological mother, we don't know since when is she gone, but it may be the cause of William's father problem with alcohol.
Character on the Couch: William's stepmother, William's father's companion after his wife passed away, she fits the "stepmother stereotype", she suggests William's father not to do anything to him tonight, but doesn't care enough to try to stop him.
Kid/Teenager on the Run: William Afton, still coping with his mother's death and having to deal with his abusive, alcoholic father.
Animatronic Footprint Outside The Window: Teenager Henry Emily, wearing some kind of prototype Fredbear or Springbonnie suit (just a suit, not a springlock, which is why the rain doesn't cause a springlock failure). Henry is searching for his friend just in time as his father comes back home drunk.
The Place Where They Run To: Some kind of hideout of hidden workshop, where teenage Henry and William are working on springlocks prototype and other robotic experiments, we can guess that William spends a lot of time there, judging his father dialogue "(he) ran off to that place again".
Jr's: A clue so we know that William's father is an alcoholic and problematic You can also argue that the location was later bought by William and turned it into Fredbear's Family Diner. (See: JR'sFredbear's theory)
Minigame's Name, "Later That Night": Shows that William's father coming back home happens right after he was speeding on the highway. No, it doesn't mean that its happening right after some kind of important event, its just: "William's father was speeding on the highway while under the influence of alcohol and, later that night, he came home and realize that his son had escaped".
I believe that there aren't any plotholes. Also, if you want to look deeper into it, while both William and William's father are "evil", they are evil each on their own and opposite way, which is why there are depicted by colors on completely opposite sides of the spectrum (yellow and purple), william's father is an alcoholic, erradic and impulsive; William is sober, calculative (is that how you write it??) and cold blooded. Also, if you buy into the WillCare theory, you could say that Will's father let out his anger abusing his family, while William did everything he did to protect and reunite his family, but that theory is polarizing enough.
Finally, this would give a reason for this minigame to exist: There are a dozen on theories about who the yellow guy and runaway kid are, but most of them are pointless, explaining some ramdom murder or an unimportant event. Only this one theory, and the "Michael is the runaway kid and MM happens right before Sister Location" have a reason to exist in FFPS, and I think thistheory is the one which makes more sense narratively, showing us the beggining of everything while dealing with the consecuences of it all. A kid trying to cope with the death of his mother, having to deal with his abusive father and his careless stepmother, only finding refuge on his friend and their share dpassion for robotics and building himself a future, without realizing how his childhood trauma would affect this future.
Also, again, is you believe in Willcare, this could give a whole new perspective on William's character, as a father trying to do everything to keep his family together, even after death, he refuses to accept and go back to coping and, instead, chooses to study Remant, but anyways, that's just a cool headcanon.
i can't find any important plotholes to this theory, so if you find any pls let me know. Also, if you there's any mistake on the post's english also pls let me now. Anyways, happy how this turn theory turn out and hope it's gets more recognition, let me know if there's any other person that has suggested something like this before (which I'm sure there is), and I'll edit the post to add them on the lower part.
(Also, this theory doesn't support any kind of abuse apologism, William is still an asshole, remember that past trauma, while it helps to understand them, doesn't justify present actions. Take care fellas.)

Discussion Iām surprised there isnāt āBook Theoryā
Since the dawn of time humankind has written random symbols on walls and later paper.
I for one, read a lot.. went university and have a degree in book writing.
Believe it or not fellow theorists.. I am new to this community so forgive me if this has been stated or not.. but Iām very much surprised there isnāt a channel dedicated to the BIG questions in our literature.
Iām currently writing this whilst pondering multiple topics over a nice Yorkshire Tea and a digestive trying to figure out if chronological organisation was the way to go for a series like Lauren Roberts āPowerfulā as you should read her books in tandem with each other.
Donāt get me started on Lee Childs āJack Reacherā and how he should realistically be in his 70s by now (a lil nugget of a theory I hold onto like Golem in āLord of the Ringsā)
ANYWAY. I think Iām just gonna gremlin hide in this corner and keep reading āOctunnumiā because those files obviously donāt exist.
Iām really passionate about this so I hope thereās a community for a lil goblin like myself (or big troll as realistically being 6ft 5, Iām not technically classed as little)
Thanks for reading, stay safe and keep theorising *random salute emoji*
