It has been confirmed the dog is not Sparky. I have to assume that footage took place relatively recently given the haircut.

Holy poop, great fucking video. I don't really have any theories, but does anyone else feel like it would be helpful to try to sort the different footage out and arrange them into separate videos? Put all the Jeff footage with Jeff, Vinnie and Evan with V and E, Vinnie and Sloppy Slendy together etc. I don't know if it would really give us any direct answers but I think it would be helpful for trying to piece things together a little more. Would anyone with video editing capabilities be down for this?

you'd have to go back to the old thread whereabouts the time the Alex video came out to see all the stupid posts I made trying to figure out the odd layout of their house(which makes more sense when you realize that there never was a crawlspace in Alex's closet)


Oh, thanks for expaining. Sorry I got confused there.

That explains a lot. Thanks. I feel a little dumb. Smile

I swear it's ALEX going to JEFF'S door and the rake is in there. Alex says "Jeff?" and then later ALEX speaks again outside the door behind the camera. At least that's how it came off to me. Could this be?

Also, could Vinnie have been watching Alex in that voyeur footage when the dog goes off to never return?

Posting in random news Evan a guy named Evan lost on Jeopardy night.
I like someone can edit people more clearer in there.

One week into starting my new job, and already I'm experiencing the EMH schedule conflict. DDD:
I found out about the video on my lunch break and had to squint at my phone to see what was going on. ;____; I'm sure the entire department was confused and alarmed at my constant, "WHAT? WHAT? NOOOOOO!"

On the drive home, though, I had a bit of a thought. It could just be because I have been out of my mind most of the day due to lack of restful sleep, the most boring orientation ever, and getting stuck doing the tedious, boring jobs that no one else wants to do. But if Jeff was really trying to kill him, could he possibly be the Firebrand? Self-immolation and all that jazz.

Also, RE: Slender Man potentially being fake, what if the whole thing is fake? What if HABIT is the unreliable narrator, and he's editing things to look like they're so much worse than they are in an effort to get us pissed off at the guys? It's something he would do. Maybe he used the girly font to make us doubt Steph, too, since she's absent. Who's to say?

If any of this has come up already, I'M SORRY. I'm trying to catch up, but I wanted to get this posted straightaway.

I feel like I am the one who understands you the most all of a sudden.

If you mean editing the videos with "this is all Evan" "this is all Jeff", etc. then it sounds good, but keep in mind that it would take a rather long time to get it all together. For the entire series, (or at least just the interesting bits) maybe a few months, since editors do have outside lives. If just the newest video in question, then it is a possiblility, if someone will volunteer to do so. I can't, since I'm not adapt to do so, but any volunteers?

If that's not what you mean, try to be a bit clearer, sorry.

The Rake's not using any discernible words this time, right? Just feral snarling and angry noises? If Jeff was trying to commit suicide, maybe The Rake was responding to that somehow. Slendy doesn't seem to want the guys dead, considering the end of Ashen Waste. HABIT hasn't physically threatened the crew. Maybe all of the antagonists want them alive.

If these Jeff clips really do coincide with "Alex", it puts a whole new spin on this exchange from the latter...
Quote:
Evan: That what it? Okay… well then, we got some kind of problem, because that thing is dangerous! Now, tell me, um, does your brother know about this?
Alex: No, I- I didn't tell him.
Evan: What? He doesn't notice that you're bleeding from the arm half the time?
Alex: I hide it! I-
Evan: God dammit, that kid.
Alex: If he found out that something was fucking with me, I don't- he would lose it. I don't know what he would do.


... as well as Jeff's description of "Alex":
Quote:
I'm not going to let anything take you. I'm sorry I was so fucking stupid.


I really hope this means "Alex" was a wake-up call for Jeff, and that taking a handful of pills was a one-time, moment-of-desperation thing.

Good point. I hadn't considered Jeff as the Firebrand, but I'm beginning to re-evaluate Vin as the Voyeur. Now that he has a loved one missing, could Vinnie actually be the Guardian?

The one thing when Vinnie went see his girl friend I was thinking oh no could Habit attacked like Dixie Wolf house. Do we know if his new dog is like boy or girl or has name to be listing.

Maybe we did have the labels wrong, but let's not be too hasty to change who is "Guardian,", "Firebrand", etc. without thought. Remember there were other things about each name besides self harm or a missing loved one. For instance, if Jeff is the "Firebrand", who is the "two within"?

Just because we've only seen HABIT evidently in Evan doesn't mean that's his primary host. He could just be trying to throw us off his scent with all of that.

I'm not saying YES, THINGS HAVE CHANGED, THIS IS PROOF. It's still just speculation at this point, but closing all of the doors except the one we want to be open could just land us in Alex's room with the Rake, so to speak.

Exactly. Maybe we did have the labels wrong and it was set up to make it look a little "obvious" as to who they were meant to be when it was first shown. I just don't want to be too hasty in changing it up before we're sure. (Sorry if I'm coming off like I'm trying to shut you down, so to speak.)

If that is what HABIT is up to, I might have to actually give him some grudging respect. It would be nice if he was doing something besides tweeting tasteless tweets and pretending to be a big bad serial killer.

We interpreted this as Jeff losing Jessa (his heart) and then Alex (his blood).

But if Sloppy Slendy attacked Vince after he and Evan went to Lexi's, then Vince might be the Guardian, and the "blood" actually literal blood.

Another good point in the "Vinny=Guardian" column. I'm starting to waver here.
