we need to let go of bad outdated ideas from matpat

What even makes you think the mimic is Glitchtrap? And that Cassidy isn't the vengeful spirit?

1. proof. there's so much if you want i can list some
2. cassidy isn't vengeful and andrew is

List proof of the mimic being a virus

the storyteller and mimic novellas confirm the mimic01 program is viral and dangerous. in help wanted they scan old circuit boards into the game which creates glitchtrap. spring bonnie doesn't need circuit boards so it can't be afton. mimic however needs circuit boards to run the mimic01 program.
also it's narratively better because afton burning in hell forever (or permanently dying because of Fazbear Frights) is what scott would want for him as a religious person

Explain SB Glitchtrap and burntrap being in the same game

glitch is the mimic01 program pretending to be afton as it's taught to and burn is either mimic wearing aftons skin (which we know it can do as well as alter its appearance) which i don't like because it goes against Frights, or the mimic with one of the corpses from the epilogues or tales on it

mimic01 and the mimic endo are two different things btw

Ok

What about mxes? What is he supposed to be ?

he's a program to stop the mimic endo from breaking out of the basement where it's sealed. in ruin the area where mimic is is blocked off just like in the books in the exact same way, and mxes is additional security. he might also be an antivirus but idk

If mxes is programmed to stop the mimic from breaking out the basement then how come mxes and "mimic01" are similar? https://imgflip.com/i/9b2wnc

good point, and we don't know enough about mxes to say, but considering mxes is good and mimic is evil the difference is clear

Ok

FNAF lore is WAY too confusing I swear

Glitchtrap isn't the mimic, Cassidy is definitely a vengeful spirit

Glitchtrap acts like a human (because he's William afton and is free from being springlocked) and Glitchtrap is also in security breach and possibly ruin as well, and I don't think the mimic can just become a glitchy virus

And before you say "MiMiC iS bUrNtrAp!!!!

mimic IS burntrap watch the latest scott interview

There's another Scott interview?

bro it's been out since august he explains everything about security breach and how bunrtrap and other things were mistakes. that's why they changed him to be mimkc kn ruin. watch it

The Fazbear Frights are not canon! Not even into the pit game

they are. say what you will but my beliefs won't change

I believe most of this, but what do you mean Cassidy isn't the vengeful spirit?

andrew. the week before says cassidy is a calm and soothing spirit

Oh, interesting. I haven't read The week before yet.
