struck with the sudden inspiration to write an EMH story about the next iteration after the series ends.

Never written fanfic in my life but hear me out ok

the EMH iteration ends with Vinny realizing he's the Voyeur and putting down the camera so progress is already being made for slenderman to be weaker in the next loop. Also, the Godkiller knife exists now and despite Habit's intentions for it, if it can kill "unstoppable" Evan it can probably kill slenderman too.

So once the newly iterated gang becomes aware of the story again, they have to get back to the cabin and retrieve the knife. Not sure exactly what HABIT will be up to but its made clear in the end of the series that his goal is aligned with the crew, he wants to end the cycle. Since he accomplished his goal of making Vinny confront the fact that he was perpetuating it by being the Voyeur, he probably takes a backseat this time around, maybe guiding the crew a bit or acting as an unreliable mentor figure but widely just sitting back and letting the gang do the work for him.

Because of this, I think it would be cool if the cabin property where the knife is was deteriorating and fucked up all timey-wimey style since it can be assumed to be HABIT's domain and he's not upkeeping it anymore. Wacky teleporting, spooky ambience, the whole nine yards, could be a great setpiece.

Also Jeff survives this time becauss Vinny isn't a snake and HABIT doesn't have an agenda so all three boys can fight together. I also think Steph wouldn't reiterate since she isn't shown in the candleverse scenes at the end of the last cycle. My best guess as to why in-universe is because she managed to effectively write herself out by blocking slenderman out so much mentally in her last life. That's for sure how he operates according to Michael (I think) in the Princeton Tapes.

I think it would also be cool if we see the crew in a kind of 'enlightened state' similar to Corenthal where they can jump in and out of the 'monster sanctuary' and are more aware of what's going on outside the current cycle, similar to the candleverse crew from the morse code videos. This would be because they have a leg up on slenderman's power now since they're effectively "off the grid" and not recording anything which, again, is how slenderman gets his power: from spreading the word.

If we want to get really pedantic the story could be told in past tense after slenderman is killed (assuming they're successful) since any form of documentation during the fact would potentially strengthen him.

WHAT IDEAS DO YOU HAVE? IS THIS ANYTHING? I demand to hear your ideas

[splattergutz]

the princeton tapes are honestly so vital to everymanhybrid, i definitely recommend listening to them. & if you don’t want to listen to them then just go to the emh wiki & read the transcript because it’s so interesting! i absolutely love that we get to learn more about vinnie as a person. & it offers some good insight into what the iterations are like for the emh crew.

[21ate]

I feel as though you must've spoken about this when it came out, but what is your interpretation of the EMH finale "Introductions" and how it relates to the themes of the audience as an antagonist in EMH as a whole? (If that doesn't appeal to you as a topic, just talk about your interpretation of the finale in general and what it means for the narrative?) <3 Happy 4 years since the finale

wow thanks for the great question!

so, i think that the audience and vinny are very similar in that both perpetuated misery and did so unknowingly. vinny hurt people and we helped it happen just by merely giving it views. those unfortunate enough to go further often met gruesome ends

however, i’m not sure the audience is as much an antagonistic force as vinny is, and that is why it’s important that vinny chooses to give up the camera in the end

sure, we the audience have been “unknowing accomplices” as habit puts it, and yeah…we found entertainment in watching these peoples lives fall apart. we’re enablers as well as a feeding ground for man and habit

but vinny, no matter his intention, no matter the narrative he tries to spin about himself, repeats one simple mistake: broadcasting it for everyone to see

the mere action of doing so dooms everyone. there’s nothing we the audience can do to stop anything. we’re the spawn that just keeps growing, existing for creatures like habit and man to feed on. and they do so through people like vinny

i don’t think vinny learning his lesson after death is meant to be ironic, that it’s meaningless because in a hypothetical next iteration he’ll just forget, rinse and repeat forever. i think this is the only way to begin undoing their curse

see, each time the guys die and enter the candleverse, they retain the knowledge of the life they just experienced. when we first see the candleverse gang, we see the guys speculating about what’s about to happen prior to the the emh iteration beginning

these guys have come from the princeton iteration, so their knowledge of what’s going on is limited by their experience up to that point. which is frankly just a lot of misery and no explanation

except… princeton vinny was told the answer in tape 3. so when he died, candleverse vinny already had a good idea how the next iteration would play out. he knew he’d be responsible

in the morse code video, c!vinny seems pretty nonchalant about everything, having learned he’s the center of so many problems. patrick basically told him that he’s just gonna keep fucking up so why bother telling jeff or evan. he doesn’t care that there’s a cameraman watching them, even seeming to invite it

with this in mind i don’t believe c!jeff and c!evan truly knew the extent of the problem until they found each other again during the emh iteration. at this point they now would know about their roles, and we know they eventually figure out that by watching we are contributing to the problem (the ghost tweet telling us to stop watching, posted by evan and jeff from the candleverse)

thus, i believe that what vinny says about the camera in the end is significant:

“we don’t need it”

evan and jeff (and steph by default) already know that; it’s not something they struggle with. if we believe vin has changed then why include them when he’s the main instigator?

obviously it’s because he’s referring to the audience as well. he’s cutting us off, saying we don’t need to see the rest

this is a change in attitude from the c!vinny we saw back in the morse code video

sure, maybe this doesn’t rectify their problem entirely, but it’s an important step forward. just like any trauma or addiction, recovery is a journey and it starts with admitting you have a problem, which vinny does; and he takes it a step further by swearing off the camera. cold turkey.

man this isn’t even mentioning the implications of the north star but i’ve been trying to answer this ask for long enough so maybe i’ll do that separately

anyways thanks again and pls id love any follow up questions!

[teecupofcement]

OH MY GOD GUYS HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE…. I’VE STARTED WATCHING THE PRINCETON TAPES RECENTLY.

(IM STILL FIGURING OUT THE ITERATION THEORY)

SO I’D LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THE VINNY WE KNOW, PRINCETON VINNY, AND FAIRMOUNT VINNY AS DIFFERENT ITERATIONS.

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS ARE NOT LIKE EACHOTHER AT ALL, RIGHT? JUST SAME CHARACTERS, SLENDERMAN ENCOUNTERS THEN BAM

BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE SCENES IN “FINDING FAIRMOUNT” WHERE VINNY SEES DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF EVAN AND JEFF FIGHTING?? (I HEADCANON THEM AS “CANDLEVERSE” JEFF AND EVAN BTW), WHAT ITERATION ARE THOSE 2 FROM AND WHY DID THEY SUDDENLY APPEAR??

I THINK THAT WAS ITERATION “A” VINNY ENCOUNTERING SOME KIND OF RIP IN REALITY AND SEEING ITERATION B JEFF AND EVAN. THEY COULDN’T SEE HIM.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[pagodazz]

your post abt sexualizing the emh characters and actors was based but lets be real we all skipped the princeton tapes anyway

Im going to be so upfront rn. and don't take any offense I'm not mad or anything but I'm definitely gonna get heated HELP.

I listen to the Princeton tapes almost everyday, I revisit the transcripts often when I want easy access to the dialogue. The Princeton tapes might actually be my favorite part of the everymanHYBRID lore. It's so important to everything you need to know for the whole series and it helps explain so much, especially when it comes to vinnie as character.

the Princeton tapes have so much to offer and I think it's such a shame that this fandom chooses to ignore all the effort that the everymanHYBRID guys put into this series. The Princeton tapes has never failed to make me emotional HELP. it's beautiful shit. So I'm so sorry anon I literally cannot agree with this at all because the Princeton tapes are my absolute everything. I genuinely relate to Princeton Vinnie (& also Roger) more than I might relate to anyone on the channel. They're so real, and I wish more than anything they were more than tapes but at the same time I love it so much it's so perfect.

Also while during my most recent rewatch I've realized that in the series HABIT himself will use quote's and shit that Princeton Vinnie himself has said.

This one always sticks out to me, because it feels like habit pulled those words RIGHT out of Vinnies mouth only to in turn use them on him. Of course the Lexi video predates when the tapes came out, but canonically the tapes happened WAYYYYY before this, considering it takes place in the late 80s.

this goes with my idea that HABIT himself has probably had access to those tapes (atleast at some point) and he did he's research on Mr everyman here. but that one is just my personal opinion and I don't expect people to agree.

While people think that the Princeton tapes are daunting and take too long, they're literally shorter than emh as a whole series if ur watching the right shit.

these videos are basically the full in depth EMH lore and it has videos in it that long since been deleted.

If you're getting into everymanHYBRID and you're not getting into all the lore and then you're gonna go an act like you know everything it's genuinely so??? because you're literally missing out on KEY information.

like did you guys know habit IS in the tapes 😱😱⁉️⁉️⁉️ did you WATCH finding fairmount all the way through????

did you know Evan and Jeff are there ⁉️⁉️⁉️

ALSO ??? PATRICK FROM MLANDERSEN0?????? DUDE???? HES IN THERE. THE RAKE FUCKING TALKS TO VINNIE IN THERE.

did you know that EVEN VINNIES DEAD FUCKING GIRLFRIEND LEXI IS THERE. IT HAS SO MUCH INFO. YOU LEARN WAY MORE SHIT ABOUT FAIRMOUNT AND THE MINETOWN FOUR IN IT. IM GENUINELY SO AT A LOSS RN. HELP IM TOO AUTISTIC FOR THIS ASK. BECAUSE IN NO WORLD WOULD I EVER DREAM OF SKIPPING THE TAPES.

[asktheprincetontapes]

No such thing as a life not worth remembering, Vincent! If you don't know where you're from how could you possibly know where you're going? I'm sure it will all come to you in due time, meanwhile I got you something to cheer you up .
