The Path Back

 The Path Back is a trail of breadcrumbs left behind by those who took my seeds of inspiration. They made worlds of terror and beauty. At my request, left behind breadcrumbs so the monster could find its way back home.

If I gave you the whole story, you would not believe me. I can hardly believe me. But Mr. Del Toro and the cast and crew of Frankenstein was kind enough to allow me to remember. So I will now record that I have found as best I can and why it became so. Lets start with the source.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S

Let's start with three true things. The first is that Scott Cawthon had a snippet of a game that depicted a fox. It did look like a choppy, gear grinding, mechanized thing with terrible fur. He had a beautiful picture of cables and tendrils of steel that looked like a steampunk, dystopian horror. The second is that he did have a twitter comment from someone with zero vision, that Foxy looked like an animatronic. The third thing is that Scott Cawthon had talent. He did not have anything else.

I can hear you now. Perhaps you are saying, "OMG! How dare you talk about something you know nothing about!" But I say, "Oh contrarywise! I know more than you think I do."

Scott had nothing else that he could see. And it is one thing to have talent and a whole other to know what to do with it.

Hindsight is 20/20. You say, well it must have been obvious. No. I assure you it was not obvious to Scott. He needed so much more that day. Perhaps it was a divine plan, providence, or sheer luck that he happened to be standing in line right behind my son and me. But when I know a thing, I know a thing. I said Uh twice, thought it over for a blink, then gave my soul away.

We told him what to do, how to do it, when to do it, who to talk too, and gave him trade options for the quid pro quo. It took some convincing, it took bits of dialog, bits of Broadway, tales of gods, some philosophy, and so much more. But its all there, on that recording. My soul.

Did I do the work? No. I did not. Did my son? No. What we planted were seeds of worlds and dreams. The reasons far beyond the ordinary. When he asked what I wanted in return, I told him to take my wishes and give them away.

FRANKENSTEIN AND FOOLS

You heard me correctly. Instead of asking for money, I asked for healing. I threw away a chance at millions and millions of dollars for the chance of healing instead. Am I a fool?

Wisdom flies further on the wings of fools.

And long after I had forgotten and then when I remembered a little bit, I thought I was stupid too. Until I saw Del Toro's Frankstein.

His art had touched me long ago with Pan's Labrynith. His whole crew are talented beyond the limitations of this world. Gathering together, they can rip open space-time and transport a enormous group of people to the same place and be in peace as a story unfolds before them. Not just talent, but all the other ingredients required to cast a spell of pure imagination. Then, safely deliver them back home to reality, just like the Doctor I so admire.

The creature made but not understood by his creator. The created seeking higher understanding looking to what he believes as the wiser, the smarter, the stronger. Only to be disappointed. Now, the creator and the created angry, hurt, and disappointed in the lack of expectation from each other, lashing out at each other not even understanding why.

Does any of this sound familiar?

ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE ALL THE WRONG PLACES

If you are a Five Nights at Freddy's fan, you will know who and what I am talking about.

And if you are a deep fan of FNAF and you have been looking for answers in the theories and the lore...you are looking in the wrong places.

Scott, Bonnie, and I created our creations knowing that we, in that moment in 2013 did not know or understand what our creations would be, could be. How or why they could reach their highest potential. So we put certain things in the games, and books, and the movies. But other seeds of FNAF, you won't find in FNAF Franchise.

A-tisket, A-tasket

Jessica gave Bonnie a basket,

filled it with eggs and candy, too

Opened the Night Road and sent him through!

A-tisket, A-tasket

on his way, they fell out the basket

in every Inscape and World he went

all those parallel or Timeline bent

So we made a plan. At the time, we made a 10 to 12 year plan. We set up a structure that would set the stage but also allow our creation to grow in its own way. (Frankenstein An Autonomy Lesson. Thank You to Everyone in front of and behind the scenes for this lesson. Thank you for helping me to heal.)

This plan also detailed more than what you see on a screen or a page. These seeds are spread across Pop Culture in every medium you can think of. Easter Eggs of Bonnie.

You may not recognize them now. That's the beauty of this game. You will be able to play through this game through Pop culture and through time!

Yes you heard that correctly. We created Easter Eggs for kids, teens, and adults. Some will make sense right away. Others will take 30 years to recognize. If you are a kid, you will only see kids eggs. Only as you mature can you recognize the Eggs.

Here's the best bit of all. FNAF is to be a 40 to 60 year plan. At least, that's what I understand it to be at this time. The next part will start very soon. But know right now, that everything up to this point has been THE BEGINNING. 

 SEEDS BIG AND SMALL, DID YOU MISS THEM?

If you did don't worry. I have made a list that I will share. But YOU must make a promise to keep it a secret. If everyone knows, they will make videos and youtubes about their newest and latest theory. They won't mention where they got it. Or where it came from. You know why?

Because they want attention and applause. and that's not what it is supposed to be used for. It's for joy. It's for the Hunt. Not for money. Not for fame. Not for clicks. Don't be a dick. Don't misuse my wishes. Don't take my soul and waste it.

If you do, Charlie and Afton will come for you. They always come back.

They were made that way.
