I think pinpointing the 'when' of the deaths versus Jeff's demeanor in the videos is a blind alley, for a number of reasons. I may be totally wrong. Right now I'm focused on the locations.


I agree for the most part, but for the sake of a pet theory, I'll pursue it a bit.

I suppose I could go back in the old EMH thread and see if I can correspond posts with "people bitching about the poor sightings"...but that's probably a thankless/pointless task. So I'll just speculate that we are currently around the year anniversay and that is what motivated Jeff to get back to Grieck.

We have a spread from 6/1-6/13 between yt videos. In that span was the sleep ustreams 6/3 was a Thursday. The 6/13 video was the Sleep Lab one. Jeff could have been editing that on the 10th, but it doesn't fit in the narrative(the 10th should have been day one of the experiment. I doubt he would have been at Vinnie's house the night he found out his parent's died.)

Jumping back. I think May 27th might work. The previous video was on the 20th for Public Service Announcement. And the next video(s) is ADITHL (and the Sleep preview video) on 6/1.

Keeping in mind that we don't have a date for when ADITL was filmed...actually....a lot hinges on if it took place before or after the deaths.

If it was before, it follows my pet theory that ADITL was a harbinger for the escalation(Rake, HABIT, More slenderfuckery, Evan possession )

If it's after, it's not just to cheer up Evan...but Jeff and Alex as well(thus our introduction to Alex).

Sorry for the wall of text.

Didn't Officer Matten kill himself around that time too?

IIRC, Jeff just says he died last year.

But yes, I'm betting we're around the general time. The time itself may be very important, but Jeff's demeanor around it at the same time last year - well, I'm not so sure. For one thing, he's established that he put on a happy face over it for public consumption.

I personally believe they died before the first real Slendy sighting in Evan's home. That's what the letter seems to suggest to me - that when their parents died, EMH was little more than a fitness blog with their fake Slendy.

True:

I didn't take solace in our beloved community at the time because, well, fuck: you guys didn't really exist yet. We didn't have true "HYBRIDs," we had people bitching about the poor sightings of the suit in our early videos. I wasn't going to vent to a bunch of quasi-strangers.


Missed that bit on my first read-through. No one had really flocked to their banner yet; nothing terrible had happened, as far as we knew.

Amazing how things change in one year.

I wonder if this:

I can't help feeling there is something in front of our faces we aren't seeing. Anyways, this also seems like yet another red flag for "A Day In the Life".
/contributesnothing

EDIT: There is the idea that Fairmount Jeff had no living family, and now his family is being very successfully hunted by the Rake. We don't know much about Fairmount Evan or Vinnie's families, but if Fairmount Evan's parents/mother was important, maybe Slenderman appearing last year in our Evan's parent's bedroom means something? This is grasping pretty hard, but it could relate to the cycle idea, or as qaqa told me, they may be intended to be isolated, and it is fair to consider the Fairmount Four to be isolated except from one another?

More video-relation thoughts: wonder if this has anything to do with Alex being "out of state with friends" as per - - -?

I'm not sure how it could be ADITL. ADITL came about due to the real Slendersightings - it was a pressure release for the guys, and likely was also intended to help Jeff and Alex, IMO. If they didn't see Slendy before the parents' deaths, then ADITL had not yet occurred. If.

I think all Jeff says in "---" is that Alex wasn't home. Am I thinking of the wrong video?

Ha, true. Me and my sleep deprivation.

Also, the relevant --- quote (I am just quote happy tonight):

Quote:
Jeff: I don't know; it could've been him, but it wasn't! He wasn't even in the state at that time, he was with his friends.

Well.

We're operating under the Cycle Theory and in the Everyman story, we're interpeting Slenderman as Death, right?


I guess it's pretty much pointless speculation at this point since we still don't know the relation of Slendy-Rake-Habit-Fairmount Kids yet.

I did email Jeff about ADITL again, but I'd imagine that it would go ignored or EVANrage(and rightfully so)

For shits and giggles, I checked the menu of The Sticky Wicket for Southwest Chicken Salad. No dice. Sad

Yes. This has all actually been a cunning viral tourism campaign for Jersey.

Anyway. Poor Jeff. He doesn't have to be so locked up. Hope Evan's alright. Hope they're all (relatively) alright.

Considering the rest of the stuff we get out of NJ, I'd say it's been super-effective.

But I don't know if it's for me. Apparently, plenty of weird shit happens.


Going back to point, I guess the significance that we can find in trying to pinpoint the date is that we'd have our first "Rake" encounter for this cycle(well, probably not) ...and that's probably significant. Maybe.

EDIT: Let's just say that this is the first Rake encounter(probably) between the lives of our EMH crew.

And even more so, why is the Rake fucking with Jeff. His parents..Alex...Sparky.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hell, Jeff was the one snatched in Welcome to the Ark too!

The circumstances of Jeff's parents' "accident" really are eerily similar to Ryan's. Because the parents' car went off the road into the water, we can't know if the glass was on the inside. But I bet it was.
And wow, it was Jeff they called in for the body identification on Ryan. With the echoes of his parents' deaths earlier in the year, that must have been hard. Harder, I mean, since seeing your dead friend would already be hard.

Looking over the timeline[1], I notice that there was a big gap in non-hidden production between April 26 and May 17. The May 17 video is also where we see get the first unambiguous, in-your-face sighting of the real Slenders, which would certainly mark the end of the period where they "had people bitching about the poor sightings of the suit in our early videos." Before that, the videos were coming regularly a week apart, not leaving much time for mourning. I feel comfortable speculating that Jeff's parents got Raked sometime in that three-week period.[2]

[1] Which is really frickin' hard to read since somebody added an entry for every single CYSTW post.
[2] I feel even more comfortable speculating that there's some retconning going on. Smile

Ooooh! Albert Fish! The Brooklyn Boogie Man!

Interesting that Gein, Fish and Mengele would have been contemporaries to some extent. Does this imply that HABIT can jump bodies or that Mengele wasn't possessed until after Fish's death? And then Gein? Most of Mengele's more serious crimes would have been after 1936. He became a Nazi party member the next year, and moved through the ranks until becoming Head Doctor at Aushwitz in '43. He left there in '45. Ed Gein began exhuming human remains in '47, and committed his first murder in the early 50's...

Looks like we are getting a fairly laid out itinerary for HABIT...
