 		(Another Epileptic tree here, sorry if it's been discussed already)

What if Habit was, at the very beginning, just an imaginary friend of Fairmount-era Evan and Vince. Maybe there weren't many kids there (as usually happens with mining towns at the end of their lifecycle - people leave, especially young people with children). Hence the stories of Captain Habit, just stuff kids made up.

But then, for some reason this (entire town maybe if there were few people left, or just selected families) was brought into Slenderman's attention. Now, some time later Vince was taken away ("The Man doesn't share). And Evan stayed alone, with Habit. Add some slendermindrape = HABIT. Who's now a... something else.

Now Evan was taken away (to Fairmount) and, well, there were other children and HABIT kinda started fading away (maybe, you don't really talk with your imaginary friends when you have real friends around. But HABIT, not Habit, was a seperate entity by now and found a way of existing (or something, that would allow him... it to come into play now).

Now kids start messing around with their Slendy, attract the real Slenderman, and HABIT comes back with full force (having barely been there before maybe).

How The Rake ties into this... I can't imagine. Attracted to Slenderman's mindrape? Presence?

Though to be fair from what I read you're a bit all-caps happy in the PA thread, so thats life.


I usually caps for comedic effect, as opposed to HABIT impressions...
.3.
And I never said it had anything to do with caps. More like the huge difference between styles here vs there lolz. No harm meant.

Interesting, although it doesn't quite explain why Evan would have insisted upon being called Habit, if Habit was his imaginary friend. Usually with imaginary friends, kids talk about them like they're individual people, they don't overwrite the child's identity.

 		I haven't gotten any e-mail other than HABIT'S and for that I'm grateful. I honestly prefer it this way.

...Ever read Gaiman's American Gods? It speculates on the concept that the Gods(and, really, any mythical being) exists because enough people believe in it. Sort of like personal solipsism. What if Habit is only real because Vinnie/Evan thought enough about him/believe in him enough?

 		Ok I'm sorry if someone noticed already, but Alex is on the mailing list.

He's the last email.


(Ok someone probably already figured this out :/)

It also wouldn't explain why his mother supposedly gave him the nickname - do we have any info as to what happened to her / Fairmount Evan's father? If Habit is some kind of possession or something, could it have jumped from her to her son, or possibly have come from his Father, with the Mother recognizing what was going on?

I know we have the story as to why Fairmount Vince was in crazytown, but the Evan letter only describes things he does after being admitted (unless I'm remembering it wrong), Knowing what happened to him before coming to fairmount might shed some light as to what exactly "HABIT" is

 		A common theory about how the Slenderman came to exist is that it's a tulpa.

Maybe that's the concept you're looking for?

I don't know how it works in reality, but typically in fiction split personalities can talk to each other in a sort of... limbo space. So if personality A (Evan) is talking to Personality B (HABIT) but personality A doesn't realize that they are indeed the same person, it could be perceived as an imaginary friend situation.

 		Tulpa - thinking of it makes it real?

As of Evan's mother referring to Evan as "HABIT", maybe that's because of Slendermindrape? As in HABIT had already been created, maybe it was taking over Evan? Y'know "I'M NOT EVAN, I'M HABIT RAAAGH" and after some while Evan was referred to as "HABIT". (Being close to Slenderman makes you forget things - that probably helped with it.)

Also: (this is probably very far-fetched and, well, stupid) but maybe Slenderman and The Rake were created the same way as Habit? Imaginary tales featuring Captain Habit against Slenderman and The Rake. Taking place in a fictional TV-show Candle Cove (nothing to do makes you watch TV).

I don't feel I can show you the email, but I'll tell you that the differences are slight, mainly just fuller wording, not shortened for the 140 character limit. You aren't missing anything significant.

But Corenthal's letters didn't indicate that F!Evan was talking to himself. He was insisting on being called Habit. If F!Evan had more than one personality rattling around, Habit was far and away the dominant one. It seems to me that there isn't a distinction between Habit and F!Evan; they're the same entity. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it, until we get information that says otherwise.

Note to self for next ustream: we really need to ask Evan about his parents. >.>

Also, while staring off into space at work today, I had a random vision/thought of Evan-as-HABIT recording a video (ala "Injustice") in which he basically taunts all of us rabbits, says that the guys won't be able to see this video, just like the others, and that all our secret plans are pointless, because whatever Evan sees, he sees.

That'd probably be far more information than HABIT would give us, though. He/It plays things pretty close.

EDIT: Random theory! What if the CC on the tournament e-mail was a mistake? It's the kind of thing that someone as non-tech-savvy as Evan would do. Evan mentioned that his sister helped him figure out the flash drive-- maybe she helped him/HABIT (and oh, there's a creepy thought) figure out how to sign up for twitter and whatnot?

idk moving on now

so far as my personal experience goes, alters are usually aware of each other after awhile. sometimes they can't talk to each other unless they physically write messages via the host body for another alter/the main personality to see later. mine all talk to each other, tho. it's like my brain is an apartment and they're all my housemates. @__@ very loud.

that is an interesting idea, tho. i know that sometimes the main personality isn't aware of their alters, at least not at first...
