This is basically what I see (sorry for the crappy pic, guys):

[pic]

So I'm seeing the letters F, U, what could be C, E, or L, then what kinda looks like a little Y, then a 7 thing and a large G

Under that I see S, what could be an apostrophe, L, F and maybe kind of an H. But that's all I got.

Nice job.
You know what? [meta] I'm pretty sure they took a newspaper, crumpled it up, dipped it in black paint, and pressed it against the glass.[/meta]
Your profile pic made my day, btw Smile


Thanks. Invader Zim FTW

Now you've forever implanted in my mind that the Rake is really a Slender-fied Alex from another failed timeline. Thanks.

Speaking of Slendy radiation, he gives off a lot of it. Which Vinny reacts badly too. Moreso than most. What is a side effect of radiation? Hair loss. Just sayin'. But it probably was an actual time skip. (It's a joke.)

If it was a time skip, how do you think that works? Personal theories, guys. Put them up here. Because I can't be the only one a little confused on how that would work in this situation.

 		Vinnie's beard is an important part of his image, I wonder if shaving it off was a way of depersonalizing him for whatever reason? (I had a hard time getting the right wording for this, but there's an idea in there somewhere)

I LAUGHED SO HARD

And yeah I tend to think that the black bile only comes from Vince because of his connection to Slenderman. Why it's black bile and what it means we just don't know yet. But if it's so localized, it has to represent some part of the connective tissue?

I think that's the tail-end of a Slendy-siren.


Definitely was that...or the airhorn again. Couldn't really tell. My bets are on the Slendy-siren, though.

I'm curious if Slendy himself killed Alex or if he used Vince to kill him or what...I've never been entirely certain what Slendy can do by himself and what he needs a proxy for.

 		Damn.

I think, at least, we can take solace that we might have been able to 'save Alex' from the Rake, but there was no way we could do anything about Slendy.


That said, I'll jump on the "Alex talked too much" bandwagon as to why this went down. The Rake stuff was no-no, and Slendy had to go into hardcore eraser mode to shut it down. So he got them lost, killed the cameras/Alex, memory-shaved Vinnie. And voila.

Unfortunetly, this probably means that Vinnie won't remember anything that Alex told him.

Not that we have any way to talk to Vinnie. I'm still pretty sure that Jeff is deleting the emails. And Alex was our last "non-fairmount" contact.

Sadly, that means the ball is in Habit's court. I was going to come in here and propose that the Rabbits try to hijack the game, ala FRA, but I don't know a decent threat for them to pose. Anything to open the dialouge, I guess.

Remember the story of The Reverend and Fairmount!Vincent? The Man eviscerated him. Maybe the attack on Alex was Slenderman's twisted way of "protecting" Vinnie.


This is a fantastic point. I've been assuming the same thing for a while now, considering that Vinnie not only escapes most confrontations with no more than a few scrapes, but also has been mentally deteriorating at a slower pace than the others.

Still, all four children succumb to the Man, as noted in the second-to-last Corenthal letter, which means the Slenderman's eventually going to get Vin too. Unfortunately, since the doctor's letter didn't mention specifically which one was last to die, Vin's preference with the Slenderman may be short-lived.

This is a little disheartening though. While Slendy does prefer Vin, it is unlikely that he is being used by the Slenderman as a medium. It is my own personal preference to think that Vin hasn't been hurting his fellow Hybrids, but this screenshot and the recent events are enough for me to put aside my bias. [/i]

*deep breath*

Okay, so......

New tree. The EMH mode of continuity is basically Homestuck and I will use a few Homestuck references unless that really pisses someone off. In that case, I will use more Homestuck references.

1) The Rake is one of them from a failed timeline who is trolling/pestering them.
2) The Rake was sent by someone from a failed timeline to troll/pester them.
3) Distortion, memory loss, physical/mental trauma are caused when the timelines intersect with each other. Slendy moves fluidly through them, but each individual timeline can't handle that shit, so it ends up like when you put two walkietalkies close together.
4) Slendy had to assert his power and authority, so he shaved off Cthulu to show how slenderific he is.
5) People bleed black when they are under Slendercontrol (this one is probably gonna be shot down fast)
6) Some shit went down that we don't know about and the black stuff is actually Slenderblood, and Slendy was standing in the background going "Bitch you made me bleed. Imma kill that irrelevent little fucker now, brb" and kills Alex and leaves the bag within a matter of seconds.
7) Vinnie is coughing up black shit because he's turning into a Slenderman.
Cool They're all batshit insane and Vinnie actually did kill Alex.

So.....yeah, I'm just gonna leave these trees here *walks away quickly*

 		Honestly not sure what to make of this video. There's a clear time slip, that much is obvious, but who all and what was involved are completely up in the air.

If Slendy killed Alex, why? The Rake's always been hunting Alex not Slenderman.

If Rake killed Alex, why so many Slendy signs? The bile I could understand, as Slendy would pop in to make sure Vinnie wasn't taken, but time slippage? Black baggage? Why so far?

There's so much camera tom-foolery I'm tempted to say both HABIT and Slendy had a go at this film before hand. There's just a pile up of cuts and jumps, way more than normal.

I really don't think the splatter in the car says anything. I think it's just splatter.

I find Vinnie's "wrong turn" to be a little suspect. Second time he's gotten turned around wrong and ended up with someone dead (possibly). I don't think Vinnie is purposely going the wrong way. I just think he's always getting turned around by external forces.

And again, Vinnie's reaction to the possible death of a friend is strange. He's shocked, but he seems more shocked by his age reversal than Alex's possible mutilation. Actually, this makes me wonder...


TREE PLANTING:
That's two black baggings so far on camera in the series. One right after Jessa went missing, now one for Alex. What if the black baggings are something besides just "killed and stuffed in a bag?" After all, in totalitarian governments, black baggings mean someone is disappeared, removed from the scene.

What if the black baggings symbolize Slenderman removing game pieces from the board to somewhere else? Like the Candleverse. To keep them out of the way, but not to let his enemies use them against him.

 		Ouro: As far as I know, Evan and Vince now man the emails since Jeff deleted the last ones a la HABIT's will. So it should be fairly easy to get a hold of Vince. And yeah, Alex was our last outside-ish source.
As for we rabbits, I don't know what we can do even as a collective whole. I don't think we're in a position to give ultimatums or even try to sweet-talk anything out of him- he has been unresponsive for pretty much a year. Maybe we can all talk it over in Angora tonight? The best we could try for is information. We don't have anything but his (more or less) "trust" that we're under his thumb. We don't want to play our only card too early, if it's even possible.

Also, that image of the three is probably completely innocent, but could definitely be interpreted as Slenderman (Vin) taking Alex from HABIT (Evan)?

 		While the Homestuck terms are rather irksome, you do use them in a functional and possibly even legitimate way. Especially in these two cases:

I'm not even going to try and find a way to explain how a human being turns into that of the Rake via traveling through time and space. Still, the fact that it could hunt these 4 down, even merely by coincidence of name and no linear/reincarnated implications, means it was probably human once and able to comprehend such matters. Though, none of the new Mining Town 4 are very Rake-like (yet).

Just as well, the one who seems to be more dream/vision-oriented and could be a candidate from subconsciously summoning a creature like this was- supposedly- just murdered. But it did talk to Alex, and tell him a lot of things that have come to pass. The fact that he didn't reveal anything to his fellow Hybrids? Coincidence, maybe. But Jeff, Vin, Evan, and Steph are Slendy's targets, not the Rakes, leading to Alex's... whatever just happened to him.

If I may present yet another hypothesis: perhaps none of the kids are next in line to disappear, and the Rake will be the next target?

I'm aware that you're probably just throwin' stuff out there in a loose sense,but anyway I'm gonna note that if we were looking at this in literal terms,there are certain realities that ruin this theory like he wouldn't be just sans beard--the hair on his head would be gone,too--not to mention it wouldn't look so 'clean',it would be patchy.
Also--any dose of radiation to cause that kind of hair loss in one dose would not only leave him with severe radiation burns--it would likely kill him in short order.
With that in mind--it's my guess that the reason for Vinny's changed appearance is to demonstrate very clearly that there WAS a time skip/loss/wrinkle--whatever.The other things that point towards this can be noted in the time of day and where the sun's at,and the weather conditions.
When driving--it was fairly clear out with a slight haze and no evidence of precipitation.
When Vinny comes to--the windshield and other things are wet,as well as the ground being wet and big,noticeable puddles.
Not sure about the black gunk but as Slendy supposedly does emit SOME kind of radiation,I'm thinking it's a side effect of that,but don't know if it has a deeper significance.

I was quoting ObscureReference's joke.
Cheese: You're right... Rake could be in trouble? Hah. Perhaps HABIT has been convincing Slends to let him keep his pet to help do his bidding when Slends would rather not have it around?
Another thought. What if Rake told Alex this was going to happen, and Alex allowed it?

Functional and possibly even legitimate? Very Happy I love being functional and possibly even legitimate.

And I like this tree. It makes sense.

 		If the Rake has been whispering in bedtime stories to Alex, does that mean the 'portal' is back in the closet?
