WAIT A SECOND.

I really don't mean to double post, but a bit of fridge logic just kicked in. In the latest Ustream, we learned that Alex and Jeff's parents have been dead for a few years. But I realized something when watching Alex's videos again. In his first video, he talks about how his parents don't trust him, and how they think he's going to disappear. In the present tense. Meaning that either they're still alive, they were alive then and something is making Vinnie think that they died a few years ago, or they've been dead for a few years, and Alex doesn't know it.


Alex is pretty crazy and pretends they're alive. I think he's most likely projecting his emotions/Jeff's rules onto his imaginary parents to create a sense of "normalcy" (even though it still wouldn't be normal for them to act that way). Or he feels he needs to more or less punish himself for something he may have done. That's why he created rules and reasons to isolate himself.

oh and I meant OOG: they found a better Slendy
As I've said, it seems I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill from being sleep deprived.

During a cut in one video? I mean, I don't seem to sound aggravated, but it seems unlikely.

Initially, I assumed this was Jeff and Alex's mother, speaking to one of them off-screen, but now I'm trying to figure out who it could be. Could it have been a clip from the past and it was Jessa saying that to Jeff or could it be a future clip and maybe something Damsel says to one of them?


OOG? Retcon fail. In game? "We can't see it so it doesn't matter!"

 		If it were a clip from the past, it could very well have been Jeff's alive-and-about-to-die mother.


CRACKPOT GALLIVANTING - JEFF AND ALEX'S PARENTS WERE A PART OF THE ORIGINAL HYBRID TOURNAMENT AND THEY WERE ELIMINATED.

My personal take is they realized "hey mom, a repair man came into my room and died, and I keep getting mauled, and we put 30 feet of chain across my door and I am sleeping in my brother's room lol but no worries lol" was a bridge too far. And then they came up with this "sometimes we pretend our parents are alive" retcon because they wrote themselves into a corner.

Alex didn't start crazy, but we have to deal with him being crazy now.
Well then, that explains it OOG. I guess I'll just have to deal with it IG.

Wait, was there anything establish a past tournament or is the crackpot part?

Also, NightmareComplex, I didn't consider that. I really like that theory.

Just ignore that last part lol. I'm half asleep myself and wasn't sure what you were talking about. Sorry.

 		Personally, I imagine that Ryan being eliminated was from a previous tournament, and not the one we're in now. HABIT wouldn't have started seven trials with just one person.

I do hope "Damsel" lets them finally see the hidden videos. Because it's either that or GreenFeathers breaks into their house, Dexter style Smile Dude does live in Jersey so it's entirely plausible.

 		I keep on bringing up Fake Slendy because I think it might be important for us to establish when we're seeing him.

I say this mostly because I am concerned that the costume was just laying around in Alex's room. Viewing EMH as a story, I wonder if there is just some significance to that. We, as viewers, know they faked Slendy...why show the costume when they're obviously done with it.


Enter epiletic trees.

As far as we can tell, the guys can't tell the difference between Fake Slendy and Slendy. And if Habit is truly a "possesor", couldn't and wouldn't he might use that to his advantage?

I've said this before, but I have doubts that Slender Man "kidnapped" Jessa. He seems more direct in his methods. I'm currently liking that Habit needed the guys to believe Slendy had her so he could have his fun.
The only proof we have that Slendy has Jessa is the Magus video, which may or may not be absent of distortion. We've theorized that Jessa is a Slender puppet in the video, but what if she's just inHABITed? And as far as the Slendy on the roof? Where's Evan?


But yeah, trees.

Well, Damsel would be simpler, but GreenFeathers would be crazy awesome. Smile

ALSO Am I the only one who thinks Alex started off crazy? Maybe not "pretend my parents are alive" crazy, but something seemed off about him to me.
Or maybe I just don't want the dead parents thing to cause massive plotholes and I'm projecting that onto Alex's old videos.
