Quite interesting, this theory. But before I give it my stamp of approval, I wish to hear what the others have to say about this. Sounds nice and all.

Huh! Almost certainly not the case, but wouldn't it be a tidy parallelism if, amongst the Prophecy Players, only the goodies could permanently kill while only the baddies could heal/resurrect? It would explain why Evan would be the perfect shell/perfect weapon for HABIT. /epileptic.shrub

I actually think it refers to the silly hat.

Makes sense too, thus far.

So just to summarize, we have Evan with Vince together rebonding and at any moment, HABIT can come out and kill Vin?

Wait, HABIT killed Jeff and Steph, maybe that's why they're not coming back?
Because to go through all this taunting to kill Jeff (set him up nicely and everything and just interrogate, poke fun and taunt) you would think HABIT knows that he's not going to respawn or all that foreplay would be for nothing.

Hey, first time poster here. I've followed Hybrid for a while then during the breaks I got off of it so everything isn't as clear as I'd think (so if any part of the following theory is a bit off let me know).

What if Habit knew that a combination of these fourish kids (Jeff, Evan, Vin, and Steph) were his ticket to finding his perfect shell. So when he found something like that in the Fairmount four he took what he thought would be his perfect shell (Evan) but it wasn't (otherwise he'd still be there now). Then along come these four and Habit sees a second chance. He goes for his perfect shell again (Evan) and this time is correct.

Just an alternative to the Iteration theory and stuff that kind of explains why there were the same people before and now. Proof? Well when Evan/Habit is talking to (presumably) Slender Man (when Jeff walks in) he says: "Don't forget who brought you these little fishes" or something along those lines. He could have orchestrated this. If he could orchestrate this then why would we not think he didn't orchestrate the Fairmount Four?

Now, remember, my memory of the Letters and Videos is 100% so feel free to rip this to shreds. Just thought I'd throw out an idea that popped in my head. Smile

Thanks!

(Oh, that would also explain why Jeff and Steph or whatever aren't "respwaning" cuz there is no reiteration).

I'm not completely sold on this. In one of the letters/journals it talked about how Steph tried to overdose and when the doctor tried to come to Evan about it, he said something along the lines of "if she knows what's good for her she'll be quiet." So even though in that cycle Evan did not kill her directly, but maybe he tried to force her hand? Just a thought.


Also, I've been juggling are some things about Evan/HABIT and MT4 Evan. It's common knowledge that in that cycle he only responded to the name "Habit," which was given by his birth mother. What if HABIT had already realized that Evan is the 'perfect shell' and has spent the past couple cycles trying to keep that perfect shell? Maybe it could have taken longer in this cycle to inHABIT Evan as opposed to the last when it depicts the child reenacting the nativity scene with dead rabbits. I don't know if this makes sense, but it sounds better in my head Confused

Edit: Just realized that HallowedHollow and I pretty much wrote the same thing. lol Sorry guys

Evan is a bad HABIT
See Subject

Ugh..what I couldn't get over is when Evan was going into detail about how he could remember eating the remains of the baby..really sent chills down my spin in a way that no Slender Man appearance ever could.

All this considered, I can't help but wonder if any of the TribeTwelve/Dark Harvest crossovers bear any major significance in terms of story. Noah has the Observer, EMH crew has HABIT, and of course MH (Yes I know they aren't considered 'real' in EMH-verse) has totheark. Is it possible these entities backing up Slender Man are all the same being, but using different names and inhabiting individuals in all storylines at once?

Yeah.

I'm actually wondering whether or not Steph is dead yet. On the one hand, I can't see HABIT just letting her go. On the other hand, we haven't gotten a clean confirmation, like we have with basically everyone else.

Not likely. You seem to be aware that Marble Hornets is not part of EMH, & presumably that MH does not cross over. But aside from that, Observer is part of a group of like a dozen entities with similar powers to Slenderman that serve it directly. They aren't really compatible with HABIT.

Yeah..yeah I see your point. I just think at times it can be confusing that each different take on it has a different entity working with Slendy and messing with the key narrator. But I guess I'm looking a little too into it and it's just a plot device most likely.

Given that Evan's memories can be fucked by Habit, if Habit wanted to hide something major (like Jeff and Steph still being alive and locked away somewhere), he could do so even after letting Evan go. But then, if he's hiding something that major, he could also have done all this and killed Vinnie months ago and is only releasing videos on this schedule just to toy with us for whatever reason.

The thread of the plot is so hopelessly lost that honestly I can't even bring myself to believe that the characters are who they claim to be anymore. Habit could sign a tweet [v] if he wanted to, and there'd be nothing we could do to tell the difference. It's extremely disheartening.

Practically speaking your right but I feel like this series involves a suspension of disbelief, where yes, realistically speaking HABIT could make it appear like his tweets are coming from anyone at all and say anything or do anything he likes. However I believe the reason that he doesnt try to pass himself off as anyone else (at least with regards to tweeting and text based communications) is simply a design decision and a device for telling the difference in characters when they talk to us. The reason the EMH writers have HABIT write in capitols is so we know its him, and it makes sense because HABIT 'wants' us to know its him because he almost seems to bask in the idea of making things so much more apparent for us watching when the characters we love so much have no idea about half the stuff we do at this point. HABIT is playing a game torturing the viewers whether intentional or not by emphasizing how powerless we are to help them or change anything. HABIT knows we cant help them or at least that there are many obstacles for us to reach the EMH crew, and I believe the key to winning this game is for the viewers, for US to prove that fucker wrong and make a difference and save the EMH crews lives, assuming we havent done so already.

(Sorry for double post but I cant edit the previous one for some reason)

HABIT 'wants' to make us watch, to be the Voyeur and allow the cast to die, then blame ourselves for not trying harder to kerp them alive. HABIT wants us to know who and where he is at all times, and announces his plans and actions to us on a regular basis.

If any of this is anywhere close to being correct then the purpose of the Seven Trials of HABIT may have had nothing to do with HABIT finding a perfect shell at all, I think its all part of his game. He created the Trials to bring together a dedicated group of viewers and made a show of us. Exposing just how far were willing to go to get information and figure everything out, rejecting friends family loved ones and society as a whole chasing after some hope of him revealing some key to their survival, and then ultimately taunting us after making it obvious that HABIT is the one in control, not us. However the seven trials can also be HABITs downfall.

While it showed how hard the road ahead may be, how slim the odds are that anyone will survive, the Trials also brought the viewers together and created a investigative machine determined to answer his final challenge to us "Keep your body alive"

I can't be sure if we just aren't finding anything useful, or if Vince isn't even listening. We know they were in massive denial of the Evan/HABIT connection until it was far too late to do anything about it.

Speaking of the Seven Trials, I've always wondered how people handled those. Like, no one seriously started a fight with a friend & a loved just to act out a bit part in a Slendervlog, right?

I would imagine not, but again I think theres some suspension of disbelief for the sake of the plot where we assume that people did follow HABITs instrictions at least to some extent as part of HABIT proving the point of how powerless and easily manipulated (he thinks) we are.
