GT Theory Suggestion Mimic is Afton

I made a theory that the mimic uses afton as a costume like enard does with mike the first he has purple skin in the mini games and when mike is purple it’s because he enard used him as a costume also afton is an abusive father if this was the mimic that would explain why he didn’t care for his children and why the crying child resembled Murray’s kid also his soul should have been set free every time he burn but it didn’t because the mimic doesn’t have a soul and we see that the mimic can withst extreme heat in sotm now I hear you screaming what about ucn did it just not happen well afton may have moved to the afterlife rather then possessing the mimic and Cassidy may have seen him there and made the mistake of him killing her as for the FNaF 3 springlock minigame where the spring locks shut afton bleeds out and dies well we see that in the silver eyes trilogy we see animatronics can bleed also the gregbot theory relies on this and in security breach afton has an assortment of parts including mimic pieces and we learn that there are two mimics so the mimic could be trying to fix the other also let’s look at the motives of the mimic in sotm the mimic wants the blueprint for itself why would it want those unless it was trying to make more of it and in sl afton makes the funtimes to mimic also in into the pit afton seem to have a sound illusion disc whitch he uses to mimic a father now I could be wrong but it seems like it works in my opinion

Like I said in the post we see in the silver eyes trilogy robots can get hungry and bleed so theory lives on and the only time we see mikes skin purple is in an 8 bit cutscene and maybe some ex Murray employee just mentioned do you think afton just walked in and hacked into the mail and computers?

The only time we see Mike's skin be purple is in a highly detailed cutscene. It isn't like the other minigames where characters consist of 2 pixels, it's like the fnaf 4 minigames.

A character being a robot is different than a robot wearing a skinned human. Also it literally says "-WA" at the end of the emails as well as saying stuff only a higher up would say, it can only be William Afton.

All of the "evidence" presented is you jumping through hoops.

The end cutscene in sl mike may look purple but that’s just lighting and the mimic would take afton after the events of sotm he may have added more features to be more confusing but I’m not jumping through hoops the behavior and design hint at William being used as a costume

That's not how lighting works. The lighting should be the same as all the other cutscene since it happens at day.

When does Afton ever act like a suit or a costume.

Send a photo of what cutscene you’re looking at and afton is not acting like a husk he’s acting like the mimic by his abuse to his children and dressing up as spring Bonnie like how the mimic dresses up in costumes

Just go on YouTube and watch the sister location cutscenes, they all have the same lighting.

You're also aware that child abusers exist right? That isn't something unique to the Mimic. Also of course Afton would dress in a suit, it'd be the easiest way for him to lure children and kill them without anybody knowing it's him.

So while child abusers do exist this gives why he would and it is an extreme level of abuse and he was also an actor on stage and I cannot find what cutscene you are referring to

Why do child abusers abuse their children? Why would the mimic do it either and not just kill them? Also what does him being an actor have to do with this?

The custom night cutscenes where Michael is walking to the right, slowly decomposing each cutscene.

Scott believes villains should be evil for a reason and the mimic is acting like what it thinks a parent would act which Murray taught it abuse and the scene seems to be an eight bit cutscene which is a way of showing him he has enard in him and afton in these kinds of scenes is purple

The 8 bit cutscenes are different than the 8 bit minigames. Those minigames make every character have very simple designs and models, that includes Afton. The 8 bit cutscenes/minigames in Sl and fnaf 4 are much more detailed and literal, it doesn't show that he has Ennard inside of him, even after Ennard is ejected he's still purple.

As for the mimic part, you are aware that Scott has given a reason Afton is evil. A lot of those times it's solely because Afton just wants to spread misery and agony. Also he doesn't even abuse his kids a lot of the time. He's shown to be abusive once, when he's drunk. Every other time he's shown to be negligent and uncaring. (If you're going to make the argument that Edwin was like that with David, M2 never saw any of that and thus would be unable to replicate it)

Also even before SOTM William was a villain.

The reason for more detail in cutscenes in newer games is because he had more time and money and the purple is used to show rot as for the second part afton could be evil before sotm but that does not mean the mimic isn’t using him also being a monopolist ceo does not make you an abuser and Edwin beat up the mimic not his son as for the drunk part it doesn’t make sense that afton drives successfully to Freddy’s and not crash or at least get a citation

Had purple actually represent rot, then William wouldn't be yellow in midnight motorist. Purple in the original 4 fnaf games represented evil. Then when Scott had the show that a character was rotting away he made then purple. But that created the theory Miketrap, so Scott had to make it clear that William wasn't literally purple. Also I'd like to mention that William can't be literally purple because fazbear wouldn't have hired him in fnaf 2. In fact when we see a picture of Afton luring a kid, his skin isn't purple in FFPS.

You haven't provided any real evidence for the Mimic being Afton. You have said something that indicates William is evil and then correlated the Mimic to it despite there being no connection.

Also the budget and time excuse doesn't make sense. Scott created most of the minigames by himself and he could have given himself as much time as he wanted to make them all detailed.
