Something else I thought of while looking through the videos again (and I'd go back and check to see if this was touched upon, but after 177 pages it'd be tough to track exactly where it would have been talked about):

At the end of "Slushpops and Surprises", that whole "Tragic Hero and Unattainable Companion"...you think that could in any way refer to Slender Man and Rake?

NORTH OR SOUTH,
nothing changes.

They put me through a mandatory psychological-evaluation. A series of photographs, quotations, and copies of my art were presented. They have no basis to fully arrest me, but after analyzing the results of said evaluation, deem it necessary to detain me.

Whether it's a rat in a shoebox or King Charles of Zembla in his formerly-majestic palace, a prison's a prison. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone.

Thank you all for your help. And for being there since this all happened.

Whatever they do to me, Jessa, I hope you're okay.

I'm sorry you couldn't see the truth.

(I've left a small passage on the post-queue. Maybe it will explain some things. Probably not.)

Yours,


King Charles in Zembla = PALE FIRE reference (fuck yeah!!).

Well that's depressing.

But it looks like we'll get some sort of update after a certain amount of time has passed. I guess that means she'll be gone for a while.

OH FANTASTIC JOB JEFF Mad

Yeah, I've seen that too. Is there a way to see elements of the post-queue in advance?

Look for Damsel's "short passage in the post queue" (anyone found it yet?) I came across this:

http://www.youtube.com/user/MitzieStar

Nothing useful there yet but this is Jesse's youtube channel. (Coranthal's niece, she of the way too similar first name...) Thought I'd post it here for future ref.

I don't think so - it just posts after a certain period of inactivity or on a specified date, I think.

Oh... I got it.. the "post queue"... didn't understand what that meant... was thinking she meant comments on one of the vids. Guess I'll just have to be more patient! Embarassed

Don't forget the Pale Fire quote from her August 30 post. I was reading that last night, scouring CYSTW for clues to the Jeff/Damsel conflagration, and ended up reading a bit of Pale Fire for background.

(It's awesome, but oh so very rich. I could only take a few pages at a time.)

The quoted bit of poem described a young woman committing suicide through drowning. Kinbote's annotation of those lines is a discourse on why of course it's natural to want to kill yourself, along with a loving consideration of traditional methods of suicide. The annotation ends "We who burrow in filth every day may be forgiven perhaps the one sin that ends all sins."

With two references to Pale Fire, along with the mentions of House of Leaves, and with the initial conceit of EverymanHYBRID as a fitness program with fake Slenderness, they're practically begging for speculation on metafictional aspects of their project, or at least some sort of unreliable narrator theme.

Whether the newest Nabokov reference is intended to call to mind the earlier quotation, and exactly how much we were meant into that earlier bit, I hesitate to speculate.

I expect that the queued posts will be revelatory in some sense, and I'm kinda giddy with anticipation.

Had a weird moment when I was looking at MitzieStar's channel favorites and noticed she had favorited this video:



YouTube: Link


A friend showed this to me about two weeks ago, and I remember contemplating posting it here. I highly recommend watching the whole thing anyway, but the part that made me think fondly of you guys starts around the 3:47 mark.

Admittedly, watching the dancing made me wonder why my ex dance teacher didn't make more of an effort and spent more of her time stealing ideas from shitty music videos. Then I hit the 3.47 mark and pissed myself laughing lol.

It looks pretty legitimate, good find. Dammit, trust her to use the one spelling I didn't thought of - after No Body I must have looked for at least fourteen different versions of MistyStar, MessyStar, MeItStar... on youtube and twitter. Sometimes I hate not being a native speaker.

EDIT: it looks like she hasn't been on the channel for a month.

Hey guys. Been catching up on this stuff and wanted to drop a word.
Loved MH. Can't wait for Part 2. But right now I'm totally digging on EMH. Few thoughts of my own:

-Anybody searched existing videos for sightings of The Rake? Just because we first see him clearly in No Body doesn't mean he hasn't been in other vids, and he'd potentially be harder to find, being all white and low to the ground.
-Anybody asked Damsel what videos SHE can see? If she's "in their world" but can see the things we see, that has certain implications.
-Something doesn't add up. How does Jeff go from non-believer like Vince, and then the events of Jokes Over cause him to go off and pursue childhood memories of burning schools and doctors? And then he comes back with that information, and dedicates himself to finding Jessa, but is now a non-believer again? It doesn't add up, because it's a really bizzare way to start introducing these new elements of the doctor and HABIT, etc...
-How far away from their neighborhood did they drive in No Body? It seems like an awful long way for a monster like The Rake to follow/stalk them. If The Rake is tormenting Alex, I almost think it means there is more than one Rake (plural, Raken?).
-This has been going on for months, and only 2 of 7 boxes has been discovered? What is going on with this? Is it a plot point that is being dropped?
-I do not believe this is all an elaborate affair/revenge story. Too many supernatural elements.

I'm willing to bet that in the not too distant future, Alex is going to post a video of him sleeping at night, and we're gonna see shots he can't see of a Rake crouched on his bed, a-la Masky watching Jay sleep in MH. And since these guys have a good handle on certain special effects, what we'll see is going to be terrifying.

I think the name of this, EverymanHYBRID has more significance than we've realized yet.

Also, just as an aside. Am I the only won who thinks that Evan looks/sounds like Randal from Clerks? Totally reminds me of him.

Can't wait for more!

That... that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

On a side note, to those who accuse me of wishful shipping: I hate romance. With a burning passion. Hate it in all it's forms because it's managed to destroy several friendships in my life. But I'm also objective enough to notice that there's obviously something going on that we aren't being told. So do I really give two craps if Jeff and Damsel are "together"? No. The idea is enough to make me retch. But it's a theory, and one to be noted and pondered until it no longer holds water. Right now, it's still holding water pretty dang well, or rather the general structure is. Maybe Jeff is just freaking out and being a tool. But I like to think that character breaking doesn't come that easily with Slender-influence.

I've asked her a few times-- she never answers. She does, however, answer my questions about Hoagie Haven and supporting her.
