Ahh I've been avoiding this place. I'm becoming a pretty big supporter of "it's EMH so whatever I think is going to be completely wrong but I like it that way anyways so um I know nothing" and it's working well for me.

Haven't had many brainwaves. It looks like flooding/drowning and Alex/Steph (in the and/or sense) are on the horizon? I'm really intrigued and worried about Jeff finally explaining what happened to their parents.

I just desperately want to know what happened after Linne was "sent east". The Map Corenthal had seemed to line up with the Rake stuff...and so does the dead parent stuff...but I can't seem to be able to jam the pieces together.

Maybe we're getting close to finding out about Jeff's parents, what with the twitter update?

Wonder why he was hesitant...?

Jeff: "Hey mom, can I post this picture on twitter?"
Jeff's Mom: "Not tonight, it's getting late."

How else was I gonna set up the joke?

I assume he was hesitant to share material about his late mother with us on Mother's Day. Which I can totally understand.

I'm glad he did though. In keeping with EMH tradition, I got this just as soon as I stepped out of the apartment to go for snacks. (Our many Minecraft fans will perhaps appreciate that my Android was playing David Bowie's "Underground" from Labyrinth at the time. Personally I can't get into the game.)

So the first thing we know is this - apparently what we have been told about Jeff and Alex's parents is reasonably accurate and not wholly subject to Unreliable Narrator. Unlike some prior theories, the gang's families apparently did/do exist, which means we can perhaps take our EMH gang at face value as what they are; kids born in the last two decades or so who have grown and had lives and families of their own, regardless of whatever their linkage to the Corenthal children really is. So maybe we can discount time travel, at least that kind of straightforward time travel, for that moment.

I've tried to cross-reference this simple fact against what else we've got hanging, but I can't find an obvious linkage. A number of us wondered if one or both of the brothers (this iteration of them, anyway) were previously treated or visited by Corenthal himself, but I'm sure Jeff would've mentioned it were it so.

Then again, all those articles from the library tell of Corenthal visiting the families of troubled children, and murder following his visits. Except only the parents are reported deceased - never the children. That's a bit of an echo, isn't it?

In addition, I sent EMH a note after the last video suggesting they get in touch with Hamilton locals or local officials re: Corenthal's history in the area. In the '90s he was working with children and revered by the community with a high profile banquet. What did they know of him? Who did he work with, and why? Where are they now? What was his "vague" research? I don't know if I'll get an answer but I think these are questions worth noodling over.

In light of the new tweet and the surrounding mystery of how Jeff's parents actually died, I was thinking it might be interesting if they had died in a flood or drowned or something of the sort since Slendy is often associatd with water.
Eh, just a theory.
