PSA: I love that everyone is so passionate about “Vincent” and “William” being the same person. I am aware. However, I have my reasons for separating the two. When I came into the fandom, I only knew about the Rebornica (that isn’t what they go by anymore, but that’s how I knew them at the time) depictions of the night guards (who we don’t know the faces of). They called purple guy “Vincent” and that’s what I referred to him as up until we found out that his actual name is William. I liked the personality that the fans gave Vincent, and as I grew attached to him, I didn’t want to let him go to the canon. So, I decided to keep the fan service version of purple guy, Vincent, and the canon, businessman William Afton separated so that old fans and newer fans could be pleased. I make William Vincent’s father in stories so they can both still be around. I am 100% aware that in the canon they are the same person. Please stop repeating it.
TL;DR: I know “Vincent” and William are the same person. I have my reasons for keeping them separated. Please stop commenting about it, it’s FNAF. It’s not that serious. Ily all.
