## GlitchAfton

**GlitchAfton** is the belief that Glitchtrap, the antagonist in *Help Wanted* onwards, is William Afton.

## Evidence

* Glitchtrap's design is based on Spring Bonnie, a suit that William Afton used to lure and kill his victims.
* Glitchtrap is frequently associated with the color purple, such as his eyes, vest and bowtie all being purple. Purple is a color commonly associated with William Afton.
* In Princess Quest I, at the end of the level we can see what seems a Glitchtrap Amalgamation. If we edit the audio that plays when the amalgamation speaks, it says: *"I always come back. Let me out."* "I always come back" is known as William Afton's catchphrase.
* The *Fazbear Frights* story "In the Flesh" shows Matt, a game developer working on a VR game called "Springtrap's Revenge". After testing the game, Matt gets "infected" by Springtrap and essentially gives birth to a mini Springtrap. This story could be paralleling HW events where William Afton (as GlitchTrap) infects both Jeremy and the HW Protagonist with a virus.
* Silver Parasol scanned circuit boards to help in the development of the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience. One of these circuit boards would be Scraptrap's after the FFPS fire, which could potentially upload Afton's soul or agony into the game.
* At the end of the story "The Man in the Room 1280," William Afton's corpse explodes and ends up infecting multiple items inside the Fazbear Entertaiment Distribution Center. Under StitchlineGames, one of the infected items could have been one of the circuit boards used in the VR game's development.
* In the Pizza Party minigame, Glitchtrap is apparently trying to recreate the death of Gabriel, one of William Afton's victim.
* The Burntrap ending of Security Breach reveals that Burntrap is the one controlling the Glamrock Animatronics. Because Burntrap is found in FFPP, it's likely that this is Afton after being burned for a second time in FFPS.
	+ Under this theory, Glitchtrap's goal is to return to his physical body, the remains of Springtrap.

## Problems

* It is highly speculated that Glitchtrap is the one infecting the Glamrock Animatronics, but in the *Tales from the Pizzaplex* story "The Storyteller," the Glamrock Animatronics are controlled and modified by the Mimic1 program.
	+ This assumes TalesGames.
* After the FFPS fire, Afton would've died for good and his remnant would've melted away. Even if his circuit boards were salvageable, his remnant is most likely gone.
	+ Under StitchlineGames, Afton survives the fire due to Andrew preventing him from dying, where he then explodes and infects various items in the distribution center.
		- It is not confirmed, or even implied, that the circuit boards were at the distribution center.
* The Burntrap ending is most likely not canon, as it doesn't align with *Ruin* or *Help Wanted 2*. Burntrap may not even exist at all.
	+ It's also theorized that Burntrap is actually The Mimic trying to imitate/become William Afton, just like with Glitchtrap under GlitchMimic.
