[[WMG: There are two people in the Ultimate Custom Night Hell; [[IronicHell William Afton]] and [[SelfInflictedHell The Vengeful Spirit]]. ]]
Given some of the wording the animatronics have, it's implied that while this is Afton's personal Hell, it's not ''truly'' [[{{Hell}} the bonafide negative afterlife]] but that he is being personally tormented by "the one you should not have killed". The animatronics aren't actually Afton's victims, with the possible exception of the Puppet (if their statement that "I don't hate you, but you need to stay out of my way" is any indication), but illusions meant to mimic and remind him of his actions (which is also why he is being tormented by Springtrap and Scraptrap, since they obviously can't be William). However while it serves as William Afton's IronicHell, it ''also'' serves as the Vengeful Spirit's SelfInflictedHell; unlike the others who have found peace and moved on, the "one you should not have killed" [[RevengeBeforeReason cannot let go of their hate and refuses to move on so they can torture him]]. This is why Old Man Consequences says "leave the demon to his demons; rest your own soul"-he is trying to reason with the Vengeful Spirit that punishing Afton is pointless and prevents them from truly moving on. [[AmbiguousSituation Assuming Glitchtrap and Burntrap are the genuine article and not some facsimile]], [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the Vengeful Spirit may have given Afton an escape hatch since he's in a torturous limbo and not the actual Hell]].

It makes sense why [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals Baby would like plushies]], since [[spoiler:she's possessed by William's daughter Elizabeth, who states that he made Baby just for her.]] But the ''[[MechanicalAbomination nightmare animatronics]]'' liking dolls sounds weird. It could be that they represented [[spoiler:Elizabeth's]] friends, who used to play with their plushies with her. Since Afton was a [[WouldHurtAChild child murderer]], he would have definitely killed them.

[[spoiler:Meanwhile, Elizabeth's plush looks like a smaller version of Circus Baby rather than a plush because she thought it would be better to become the real thing to [[WellDoneSonGuy make her dad proud]].]]

Adult Fear is now cut.


A continuation of the above WMG. Foxy isn't like a physical animatronic; he can freely pull himself apart and then reconstruct himself, still functional as if nothing happened. His jumpscare involves his head twitching [[ExorcistHead at angles beyond any animatronic's possible limits.]] Foxy's qualities may be a representation of [[spoiler:William Afton's memories of the Bite of '87 in [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 FNaF 4]]. The abnormally-twitching head may reference how the Bite destroyed the victim's skull, causing his mind to lock him into a traumatic nightmare. The disassembly and reassembly refers to how the person saying "I will put you back together" to the victim was actually his father William, and the representation as Foxy is based on how the victim's brother wore a Foxy mask to scare him, and wore it when he organised the prank [[DeadlyPrank that would escalate into the Bite of '87]]. The Foxy in the cutscenes refers to the Bite victim's relationship with his brother before he was bitten, but the Foxy in the game is about ''William's'' relationship with him, since he had to [[OutlivingOnesOffspring witness his own son die thanks to him]]. After Elizabeth's death, [[AdultFear losing two children]] sent him into further madness.]]

* A potential adjustment to this, Afton isn't in hell because he was intercepted along the way by his original victim who desperately wants to repay him for all the suffering they endured over the years after he killed them. Unfortuantely the fact that Afton isn't in hell means that he is still tied however loosely to the living world and if the right conditions were met he could come back. That would be why Old Man Consequences wants you to let go and "Leave the demon to his demons."

Dewicking Not So Different as it is now a disambig.


** To elaborate on this WMG, this most likely takes place ''after FFPS'', as the animatronics from that game are present. Henry watched the fire from a nearby but safe distance, and has a nightmare about the Fazbear legacy the next night. In this nightmare, Henry tries to put his mind at ease with the sins he created by fending them away forever. Several animatronics speak to Henry as if he were Afton, either due to delusions and misunderstanding, or to try and break his spirit to show that Henry is NotSoDifferent than William, and that he is just as responsible for the death of the one "he should not have killed" (either Charlie or the Bite Victim). The Puppet/Lefty is confused by this and sees Henry as William, and [[spoiler:Fredbear]] is merely a representation of himself and his sins. The final cutscene with [[spoiler:Golden Freddy fading away]] is the very last thing in his dream, as he watches the restaurant fade into darkness with Golden Freddy being the last thing to go. Then Henry wakes up. Everything else is on the more trippy ends of the dream, most of all the anime cutscenes.

[[WMG: Henry trapped William in his IronicHell... but also trapped the spirits of his victims there, too.]]
Many of the animatronics may be symbolic references to Afton's sins, and some may even be demons of some sort, but there's some implications that among the group are the spirits of the children themselves, trapped with their killer. One of Withered Bonnie's voice lines has him asking if HE'S the one who's trapped, and the Puppet makes a remark about killing Afton not being his/her goal, and just needs him to "stay out of my way".
They might be trapped with Afton in the afterlife, or they might've somehow been taken their unintentionally. It might even be an attempt to give them satisfaction by torturing their killer forever. But some imply that they simply want out, and Puppet may even be trying to do something about it, with his/her role in the killing game being a distraction from it.

[[WMG: The player is Satan]]
Who punishes Afton? You! You set the animatronics' AI! You can force Afton into the brutality of 50/20 mode if you want. After all, it doesn't make sense that Afton would deliberately increase the difficulty of his personal hell. An easy objection is that the player is jumpscared, so they are punished too. Well, in some intepretations of the Bible, Satan is also tortured in hell. The Puppet and Old Man Consequences want the player to stop playing the role of Satan and suffering alongside Aftonand let the animatronics do the job alone.

[[WMG: Ultimate Custom Night is Purgatory for the animatronics/missing children.]]
Due to RevengeBeforeReason and murdering guards as spirits, the missing children were considered too sinful to move onto Heaven, however [[SympatheticMurderer because of the circumstances behind it]] they avoided being stuck in Hell presumably forever like [[SerialKiller William Afton]]. While Afton [[IronicHell will forever be tormented by symbols of his crimes]], the kids have to work out their anger and make amends in some fashion before they can truly ascend to Heaven. Afton's Hell just happens to double as a sort of purgatory-who's to say a place of torment for the truly damned can't also moonlight as temporary pain for the not quite damned to redeem themselves through? Unfortunately their hatred for Afton(perhaps believing he will stop being punished once they're done with him) results in a SelfInflictedHell which they can only leave once they give up on their vengeance. That's why Old Man Consequences tells the player to "leave the demon with his demons"-at this point, the last thing they need to do before they can go to Heaven is to finally let go and put their anger behind them. The only animatronic that might be truly stuck there is Circus Baby for [[DaddysLittleVillain trying to follow in daddy's footsteps]], but even that might be temporary and she can eventually redeem herself. As suggested in an above theory, the Nightmares are actual [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]] and once the animatronics have left, they will continue to torment Afton.

The secret kill-quotes by Nedd Bear, Happy Frog, and Orville all directly imply that they are either controlled by or avatars of the vengeful spirit, so it is not out of bounds to think others might be, and Orville's secret quote strongly implies that all of Ultimate Custom Night is the spirit directly interfering with the ending of ''Pizzeria Simulator'' and the releasing involved therein to trap you... so Dee Dee, who is essentially cheating in support of that trap and making it more vicious, is very likely another avatar of the spirit.

* Nightmare Balloon Boy's voice [[VocalDissonance doesn't match his childlike appearance]], sounding more like a MonsterClown than an actual child. Originally, he was once an entertainer in the pizzeria, wearing makeup and being the human actor as a sidekick to the animatronics during their shows, talking to the characters for the kids to watch. Behind the scenes, he was very picky and often dissatisfied, complaining for even the littlest things, which made its way into Nightmare BB's "only do what I want, or die" behavior. Like Toy Freddy and Withered Bonnie, the actor who became Nightmare BB was killed by Afton to LeaveNoWitnesses.

* Withered Bonnie's Spanish accent and face puns came from a mechanic who was a Hispanic who [[PungeonMaster occasionally cracked puns]]. The distortions he creates are based on how the mechanic would often screw up his repairs sometimes, and he would be blamed for them. Like Toy Freddy's worker, the mechanic also witnessed the murder so he too was killed.

* Mangle has quotes like "Now ''I'' get to play take-apart-and-put-back-together! You won't feel a thing..." and "Don't be afraid! Soon you will look just like me: beautiful!", which indicates that [[TheDogBitesBack they can finally get revenge for all the suffering]] [[KidsAreCruel the children put them through]]. However, there was one child who felt sympathetic for Toy Foxy and felt uncomfortable with their treatment and eventual rebranding as a take-apart attraction. That child was the same child who is possessing Nightmare Mangle due to the representation of the Toy Foxy plush, and her sympathy towards Mangle eventually manifested as the original Mangle themself. With Toy Foxy finally given enough autonomy to feel, they're mainly focused on getting their revenge on the one thing worse than the children who caused their suffering: [[WouldHurtAChild the murderer who did the exact same thing to those children]], [[PoweredByAForsakenChild only worse]].

[[WMG: Old Man Consequences is {{Satan}}.]]
He's red, not based on any animatronic seen before and the game is implied to be William Afton's IronicHell. And as ruler of {{Hell}}, "Old Man Consequences" sounds like it'd fit as a name. It also explains why he seems to be casually fishing-he lives and is in charge of Hell, so what does he have to worry about. His advice to "rest your own soul" is him talking to Afton's tormentor and saying that tormenting the damned is his responsibility, the tormentor is wasting their time when they could move on to Purgatory and/or Heaven. [[SatanIsGood Maybe he's not that bad a guy]], [[LawfulEvil or is just following divine protocol]] and doesn't want his time wasted.
