No, I agree. The letters are sheer camp, especially the first. "Never before have I seen a utensil buried so deeply within a human being."

But it's okay, it's a lot of fun.

Oh, definitely! I've loved them and can't wait to see more. I just think it's interesting that they're so different from the video production.

reminds me of the rake a bit. 'pale-face' and 'faceless' creatures seem to be exceedingly popular.

 		Okay. My theory was shot down. Just wanted to get that out of the way.
Now, does anyone else have a difficult time imagining Vince as a kid without a beard?

YES. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Actually, because he's such an erudite li'l kid, I keep picturing as a redhead who belongs to a time-traveling dog.

 		Okay, so I really don't think Vince killed Rev because if he had he would have been covered in blood, which the Doc would have mentioned. I think 'the Man' did it.

Also, I personally am for the parallel times theory, but has no one thought that if they were brought to our time they were adopted? I mean, it'd be simple enough just leaving them somewhere for people to find and put in an orphanage. They possibly were separated from each other and were brought back together through the power of Slendy?

In the letter the Doc mentions Stevens as being apart of 'Post-Traumatic/Sexual Deviations' unit. 'Sexual Deviations' sounded weird to me so I looked it up and it's now called 'Paraphilia' and they stopped using 'Sexual Deviations' in the 1980s. Relevant? Probably not (though it's weird they had Vince talking to that guy). Totally awesome in the researching department? Aw yeah.

 		I was personally thinking that Vinnie's mention of "Captain Habit" was a reference to Evan. If they lived in the same town, they could've easily played pirates together or something (more Candle Cove, anyone?) and Vinnie would have probably known him by his nickname. Or maybe I just want adorable baby HYBRIDs, I don't know.

And I don't think Damsel also being a Fairmount/Corenthal kid is too farfetched. Like I've said before- she seems to have some sort of mental issues, trauma in her childhood (aka parents literally died in a fire), and we don't know much about her childhood otherwise. She says she's from Alabama, but if she's also an ARK kid, she could have just moved there after she got out and was too young to remember living in a different state. And they could easily black out her real name on the papers, but give us hints that it's her.

As for baby Vinnie's appearance- I already have something in my head. I'm not the best artist, but maybe I'll doodle him later.

Makes you wonder what type of paraphilia it is really. I've been looking at a list of various types but can't quite seem to find one that'd fit the story line.

I think the paraphilia/sexual deviance is the late Rev. Green's pedophilia. The "Post-Traumatic/Sexual Deviation concentration" was probably just a clumsy way of saying that Dr. Stevens's specialty was dealing with kids suffering from trauma after molestation.

I'm not sure. I always thought that the paraphiliac was generally the patient rather than the victim.
Here's the definition: Paraphilia (in Greek para παρά = beside and -philia φιλία = friendship, having the meaning of love) is a biomedical term used to describe sexual arousal to objects, situations, or individuals that are not part of normative stimulation and that may cause distress or serious problems for the paraphiliac or persons associated with him or her.

Unless it was just a general error when they wrote the letter.

 		I think it almost definitely means whatever happened with the Reverend rather than the patient Vince actually having any kind of paraphilia; I don't think it's anything super significant that we don't know yet.

True, but yeah, paedophilia is a type of paraphilia. I shuddered just now about the whole "I guess the Reverand didn't know Man didn't like to share".

 		Post-Traumatic/Sexual Deviation concentration

Right, that's why it was clumsy. Smile I think they were trying to come up with a medical-y sounding way of saying "guy who deals with the trauma kids experience after being molested" and failed.

You know how in a book's index you'll see a heading like "Pies" and then indented under it subheadings for "Blueberry", "Apple", and "Damned Good Cherry"? I think that's the sort of thing they were going for with the slash between "Post-Traumatic" and "Sexual Deviation"; they were going for "sexual abuse victims" as a subset of "post-traumatic stress sufferers". But...well, they kind of missed the mark. That whole sentence is, IMO, uncharacteristically clumsy for them.

Is not like he had... but a child in a same room than a barely naked priest. What do you think Rev. Green would do to Evan if SM didn't eviscerate him. The doctors would treat him in such unit, as a victim.
