If anyone deserved to kill Daniel, it was Slendy, as revenge for doing such a sloppy job playing him.

MH is fictional in this verse, and you don't see Slendy attacking Troy and co. Why? Because they did a good job. He's flattered. EMH's Slenderseries was just insulting.


The eff are you on about?

Disregard that, it's a mirror


This made me feel like HABIT was talking to the mirror, i.e. to Evan. He's telling him he knows he wants to die but he's not going to yet, he has to hear Steph break first.

Could this mean that she'll be the last one to die? Does this imply that Evan is still alive?


I'm following this theory. I was confused by that part as well.

Welcome to unfiction!

It sounds like Evan is still alive in there. Kind of reminiscent of this scene from Supernatural. Though somehow, I doubt Evan's going to break free.

I like Lukems' theory. I still find it hard to believe that HABIT's in charge – at the very least, he's a loose cannon that Slenderman still has some control over.

Edit: Hold on, another theory comes to mind. Jeff seems to have died multiple times. Could the iteration theory be relevant here? If so, HABIT either can't or isn't going to kill Jeff because of...?

(I hold out hope that he's being turned into HABIT's perfect vessel, but I'm not placing bets on it.)

I can't even handle the Steph scene. That was so sad.

I wonder if Evan's fashion changes are supposed to be a hint at Habbit's origins somehow. Or maybe that's just how it likes to dress.

The EMH Slender-series. The one done by the characters that seemingly got Slendy after them in the first place. Daniel was their Slendy.

I hope we'll get to learn more about Slenderman's involvement with HABIT's scheme some time soon. I wonder, is Evan aware of what HABIT is making him do? I also think that, in the scene with Steph, HABIT was talking to Evan while looking through the mirror.

You are now picturing Mengele strutting around the concentration camps in an Hawaiian shirt, giving high fives to every Nazi soldier that Sieg Heils him, all while funky disco music plays.

Alright, I gave it some thought, and I might have a theory for all of you to tear apart. (Merry Christmas Razz)

For a while, we've been given hints that the MT4 have survived things that they really shouldn't have (the car last Christmas, among other things). But in this video, Jeff was alive. HABIT specifically told him to stop crawling, then mentioned that he wouldn't get far anyway. Considering that Jeff is, ostensibly, dead, he would then have returned to life.

I'm not speculating on what the purpose of the iteration is, or where HABIT and Slenderman fall in the whole thing – I haven't a clue there – but it seems like the MT4 have returned to life, possibly multiple times, not in a full iteration but in more of a "save point" type of thing (remember the speculation that the ink ribbon symbolized a save point?). HABIT could have been torturing and killing Jeff all this time.

Remember Corenthal in The property? "Don't worry, your sister, your brother, and me? We'll hold down the fort." Evan is trapped inside HABIT, and Vinny's alive. That leaves Jeff and Steph. If they've been dying all this time, they could be making pitstops in Corenthal's little Eden, then returning to our reality.

If this is the case, there are still more steps in the Everyman Prophecy left to be fulfilled. I realize communicating with Vinny is nigh-impossible, but I wonder if we could urge him to either go off the rails or embrace the prophecy. At the worst, he starts another iteration; at best, he breaks the cycle and ends this.

If this really is the final act, let's try to get the "Good Ending."

Thank you, been a long time reader and I thought I'd finally join in!

Yeah I doubt that Evan will break free but I can definitely see them teasing at it with some sort of recuperation on Evan's part which could lead to letting Steph go. I think this'd be quite believable and it would fit in with what you said about Jeff: in order to punish Evan (and due to being afraid of losing his vessel) he could kill his body (or let him get killed by Vinny/Steph/Slendy leading them to believe they're at an upperhand) and then take control of Jeff's. It's just wild speculation though.

Alternatively, if Evan gets any sort of control I could also see him killing himself so as to let HABIT go and save Vinny, which could give some sort of closure.

I feel like I should remind everyone that in game, HABIT made the video. Typically when the antagonist says it's the final act, it usually isn't the final act by a long shot. Look at when Observer in TribeTwelve said "Thank you for Playing," as if he was done with Noah, and that's far from over. I think HABIT wants things to end soon, but I severely doubt that it's going to be over for a while.

Just some speculation.

Perhaps he was looking to hide his actual location from HABIT. If there's one thing that's about Slender series it's that some of the protagonists can know they're being talked by something but still post where they're staying , or give enough clues for someone to figure it out.


I don't think it's green screened. It seems like it's just focused on the foreground, which makes Vinny look really sharp while the background's out of focus.

Anyway, great entry. Things are looking pretty damn bleak.

[Begin final act] made me think of the Everyman play outline that was found in Box 5. I think it's referring to that? Looks like we're on "THE VOYEUR SHALL SWALLOW JUSTICE'S SWORD", "THEIR WORLD SHALL PERISH", "THEIR WORLD SHALL BURN", "YOU, TOO, ARE ON THIS SAME. SINKING. VESSEL.", "THE GREAT FLOOD SHALL WASH AWAY ALL THE ASH, READYING THE WORLD FOR ANOTHER GREATER, CYCLE", and then, "[EXIT ALL]".

slinks back into discussion

Since HABIT killed all of the mystery people, & is working with Slenderman, it is possible that he just made up the thing about them being "Slenderman's dogs." If that were the case, I would guess they're with Corenthal.

If not, Slenderman might be controlling dead people, or at least people he's killed, given that Alex showed up. It wouldn't matter much to either of them if HABIT killed them--again--because, even if Slenderman can't revive them, they're just disposable pawns.

A third possibility is that they were inHABITed, since HABIT has been known to pit his host bodies against each other, a la Evan & Nick.

Now that was an interesting video. I was wondering when Daniel was going to be taken out. Some interesting things...

1) The "Alex" goon. Once Slenderman takes a person, is he free to use the body as a puppet?

2) I'm pretty sure all those goons stumbling around are those "Thousand-Mile Stare" critters, Slendy puppets. I remember hearing HABIT mutters a phrase similar to "hating those creepy things" before he goes up the stairs.
He tries to get them to disperse...buy why? If him and Slendy are working together, then why does he want to be the one who kills Daniel? What does he get out of it? I thought that killing side characters was supposed to be Slendy's way of demoralizing the main characters. I know he's working with Slendy, but we know he hates him (from the Seven Trials of Habit video)

3) HABIT's pet cameraman seems to be working FOR him now, instead of Slendy. He's the one who shows him where Daniel is.

4) While there are several times HABIT mugs for the camera in his usual fashion, it seemed kind of like he didn't really enjoy killing Daniel. He says, "I/They really liked you, Dan." And then he pats his head and lets him down rather gently. It reminds me of the previous video, before he killed Jeff... he tells Jeff how much he admired him and Vin, and seriously explains to him (with his hand on his shoulder) "So I hope you understand that that's why we can't let you live." Really OOC behavior for him, considering the situation. Also, HABIT cradling the dead or alive baby. Once having merged with Evan for so long, is part of Evan changing his behavior? He seems to be showing a weird side of sentimentality/regret, even though he's still enjoying the killing and torture.

5) Weirdest of all.... If that was Alex at the top of the stairs, Daniel said nothing about recognizing him. Also, he doesn't look at HABIT's pet cameraman once... can he see him at all?

Does anyone feel like they're missing something? I feel like I'm missing something with watching this video.

I still have no clue who HABIT was talking to in that video. Maybe it could have been Slenderman if he was offscreen.
