..here are the subjects that were being discussed before...:

1. People were trying to determine the timeframe of the entry.

2. I have a semi-related question: I'm still fairly new to the fact that HABIT has distortion. Look upon my poor observation skills, ye mighty, & despair. Does he just tint the screen purple, or is it any kind of distortion that has purple in it? Because some of that static looked purplish to me.

3. There was also some speculation that Michael was the guy who was bleeding out in the bathroom.


On 2., the usual sort of distortion (that's definitely related to HABIT) involves the contrast screwing up/posterising, with the crackly purple in the bits that would otherwise be black. The recent stuff is like that, anyway.

And 3., there was a comparison photo floating around of Michael and the bathroom guy, and they appear to be wearing the exact same wristband. Given the crossover, I think it's likely it was him, though I haven't watched the series.

Pardon my poor screencapping. This is one of the best examples of the "HABIT distortion" I could think of.

I think it is interesting that since we now have the crossovers with TT and MLA two more elements have been added. One, there is a symbol that causes severance and two, that because of Micheal's actions Slenderman has a weakness. I'm curious to see how these two things are used to further the plot.

Also, if we hop on the iteration bandwagon for a moment, I wonder if the symbol could also be used to sever them the guys from their iteration cycle.

Try as I might, despite following this series closely since it began, I still find myself getting more and more confused as it goes on. Even when I clarify said confusion, something else... and... brain... splat.

It irked me enough to revive my old account, make an avatar and post. I honestly don't know if it's the crossovers or just the erratic storytelling. This used to be one of my favorite series, and now it just makes my eyes turn into question marks.

I was going to go through the series again, like I just did with MH for kicks, but since a good portion of the plot isn't on their channel, I feel like it would just be in vain without spending the time to go through and find all of the non-vid content again in a linear order.

Is there anyone in here who can honestly say "I definitely know what's going on," save for questions that have definitely gone unanswered? I wish I could clarify just what has gotten me lost, but that, my friends, is the primary source of my confusion. I don't know where I lost the certainty.

I highly doubt any of that made sense. Carry on.

Holy shit I wasn't even thinking about that, I was more focused on HABIT/Evan being separated as well as Firebrand/Noah or maybe even Michael/Patrick. I was never even thinking about the iteration theory and how that could COMPLETELY fuck it all up if it really did exist IG.

So, trying to get back to the actual video, can someone tell me what actually happened? All I got out of it was Vinny, on HABIT's orders, lured some guy I don't know to his (or HABIT's?) house and drugged the guy and himself. For what purpose? And why drug himself?

Shaun from MLA got a note from HABIT after he had a fight with his brother after finding one of the "clock arms" that they have been searching for the whole series (Which, according to Vinny, offer protection to Slendy, but while they are not present on the clock and someone else holds the arms, Slendy is weakened). Shaun then, having no where else to turn, followed HABITs orders and went to his domain, where Vinny seemed to bullshit around a bit and get some info out of him as well as let Shaun know a bit about his scenario, and then, probably under a death threat from HABIT, Vinny drugged Shaun and was like "I'm sorryyyyyy" and that was that.

Now you're caught up.

That was what I thought its purpose in EMH might be. Fits in nicely with iteration theory, and makes sense in Severance—a knife with the symbol could separate the iterations from their candleverse versions, preventing them from being able to "respawn" and making them able to finally be killed. Which would leave the candleverse free for HABIT to...uh.... inhabit. Also might explain why Vinnie has been allowed to live; I'm presuming they only respawn once all the iterations have been destroyed. HABIT wants to prevent that. The iteration theory on the wiki also says that Slenderman is part of the iteration cycle, though... which I guess explains, to some extent, why HABIT wants him dead too.

Maybe the Corenthal stuff (young Evan being possessed) suggests HABIT is trapped in the iteration cycle, too, and can't break free to do all the evil he wants? I dunno.

I feel like I do, yeah. Mind you, there are a lot of unanswered questions, and in order to know what's going on, I have to presume one of the theories on here will match the answers to those questions (which a recent OOG post suggested is the case). If something came along that destroyed the possibility of any of those theories being true, I might be a little more confused. I also have faith in the fact that it will all be explained by the end of the series. Fingers crossed.

That's what the wiki timelines are for! There are links to everything important, just a click away.

As much as I appreciate wiki timelines, they are often the source of just as much frustration since it's such a task to sort through the mountain of obvious to find the small bits that make you go, "oh...OH!"

Don't get me wrong, though--I sincerely appreciate the response Smile

I just had a probably crazy thought, but what the hell. Let's assume just for a moment that this guy (is his name Shaun? i can't remember.) is the same one bleeding in the bathroom in the Severance video. HABIT may not have been the one to stab him.

See, back when Vinny first summoned HABIT, he woke up and went to find him. He was holding a small knife. Toward the end of the video, HABIT tells him to keep it on him at all times, because he might need it.

Now let's look at what happened in this video. I'd say Shaun's going to be pretty pissed-off when he wakes up. Maybe pissed-off enough to attack Vinny? And try to take the knife from him? Causing Vinny to fight with him over it and stab him in the process (whether inadvertently or on purpose)? And then either Shaun locks himself in the bathroom, or Vinny locks him in there for his own safety?
