Does Blame the Hero Still Occur in The Current Timeline?

In the most surmised form, the events of Blame the Hero can be summarised as followed: in 2033, Blame purchases and uses a time machine. A series of subsequent events occur, and the time machine ultimately ends up in the hands of Abraham Lincoln, who now resides in the late 1970s.

The short answer is that I believe the events of BtH are doomed to occur over and over again in an infinite cycle WITHIN The Original Timeline. I believe that every single instance of The Original Timeline existing always leads to The Current Timeline. However, I do not believe the events of BtH occur in The Current Timeline. This may seem quite obvious at first, but there are some sub-events that make the situation quite nuanced. Here's an excerpt from this post that contains some initial thoughts of this idea.

Firstly, let's account for the perspectives of the three iterations of Sebastian/Blame/Grandpa.

As I've established by now, I am a huge truther for Stuff & Sam occuring in The Elmer Revolution Timeline, just 15 years before the actual revolution begins in 2033. This is where the 2018 iteration of Blame comes in; yes he was initially from 2033, but he decides to stay in the year 2018 after encountering another version (Main Character Blame, who later becomes Grandpa) of his 2033 self. The important takeaway from this is that Current Blame is fully aware of time travel and it's implications, but decides against getting his tattoo changed in favour of re-living his life all over again in the year 2018, and gives his time machine to Main Character Blame. Current Blame is going to continue to age, and be 38 in the year 2033. He will have no incentive to repeat his past actions; meaning, he won't buy a time machine again and travel back in time and do those actions all over again.

Sebastian Hernandez on the other hand will grow up to be 22yros in 2033. Hold this thought for a second.

Remember: MC Blame (Grandpa) is from The Original Timeline, whereas Current Blame is from The Lincoln Lives Timeline.

So we know how MC Blame ends up in The Current Timeline as Grandpa, but how does Current Blame residing in The Elmer Revolution Timeline still end up also in The Current Timeline? Well, we've gotta remember that every single Timeline is operating off the Canon of the one that came immediately before it; they are NOT variations of The Old Timeline.

Let's also account for what happens to the time machines across the story too.

In ADATB and Episode 1 of BtH, Main Character Blame uses his time machine to travel back to 2018. Although it initially gets lost, eventually used by the Mingeworthies to travel to 1865, used by Delores Cowpussy to return to 2018, it ultimately finds its way back to him when he mugs Helen Brownstein and successfully convinces his younger self to get a different tattoo. In episode 5 of BtH, he loses the time machine again (this time in The Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline) prompting that aforementioned cycle to also occur in this timeline too. He hopes to retrieve it from the Mingeworthies before they travel to 1865 this time, and although he's successful, that time machine is broken.

Current Blame, coming from The Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline with his own time machine, drops it in the tattoo shop whilst brawling with MC Blame. This is what allows Tattoo Shop/Eldest Elmer to do his whole 1942 endeavour and create plans for The Elmer Revolution. Elmer returns the time machine to Blame, and this is the time machine that is utilised for the rest of the story until it ends up in the hands of a pensive Abraham Lincoln in The Current Timeline in the late 1970s.

Unfortunately, we're gonna need a very stark detour here but I promise it's necessary.

Starting chronologically in the year 1942, what changes to the framework of the canon occur in The Current Timeline?

Grandpa exists. He meets Clarissa, and has his daughter Kathy with her. He also meets Donna, and his son Elmer with her too.

Sometime in the late 1970s, Abraham Lincoln and Hitler randomly appear mid-brawl in an elementary school one day while Bryce Tankthrust is confessing her love to Bobby Best. Hitler drops a book, which Bryce retrieves, and decides to run away with Bobby and have a happily ever after with him. Yes, Bobby is sent to an orphanage for the rest of his adolescence, but the two of them eventually reunite in their early 20s. Bobby never goes to prison, never swears revenge against Bryce, and never has the motive to nuke the entire planet in the year 2033.

The Mingeworthies lives are relatively similar in The Old Timeline vs The New Timeline until 2016. This time, Bryce Tankthrust is now president instead of Donald Trump between the years 2016 - 2020. They never end up adopting/stealing Cockwaddle from Jurgen Klausvonschwitz, who instead grows up normally with his father.

The point of denoting these changes relates to a simple question: would Sebastian Hernandez (then Blame) in the year 2033 want to get his tattoo changed? We know he still gets the gang sign.

Here are the two schools of thought:

Yes, Sebastian Hernandez in The Current Timeline decides to change his tattoo.

Sebastian would purchase the time machine off of Craigslist and travel back to the year 2018. He would lose it again, as that particular plotpoint has no reason not to still occur. Whether it would end up in the hands of the Mingeworthies is debatable, and I considered exploring the possibility that is does, but without Cockwaddle I don't believe they'd have any reason to be at the beach on August 3rd 2018. Moreover, Jurgen would have no incentive himself to want to travel back in time to figure out the kidnappers of his child, as Cockwaddle was never kidnapped. MOREOVER, Cockwaddle himself would not travel back in time now, because the whole "that date" situation relating to his kidnapping/being forcibly disabled no longer happens whatsoever. Therefore, the scientist would never be shot nor come to the beach on August 3rd whatsoever, meaning he doesn't take the time machine from Dick Flicker, which means the Mingeworthies have nobody to steal it from in the first place. I think it would be extremely funny if Dick Flicker DID actually "sell that piece of crap on eBay," but I'll get to that in a moment.

This particular theory, although semi-outlandish, does have a few pros.

It would explain why there's a Blame (22yros) in The Current Timeline in the year 2018 and onwards without demanding an explanation of how Current Blame in The Elmer Revolution Timeline translates over to The Current Timeline too.

Under the assumption that This Blame's time machine was sold on eBay, he is left stranded with no way to return home to 2033. However, it also means that Tattoo Shop/Eldest Elmer never learns about time travel, which means he never makes plans for The Elmer Revolution, so that never takes place either.

It provides some clean conclusions on certain events definitely not happening, essentially making The Current Timeline a fixed timeline. While I love this theory for this reason, the next one does have a bit more weight to it imo.

No, Sebastian Hernandez in The Current Timeline does not change his tattoo.

In Episode 7 of BtH, (also The New Timeline if you wanna keep track, albeit in an extremely newborn/beta version) Hitler is murdered by Bobby Worst in the late 1970s before Hitler gets the opportunity to even invent a time machine this time. Yes, Abraham Lincoln still has THE time machine, but it's arguable that Sebastian Hernandez in 2033 would never be able to buy a time machine off of Craigslist in the first place. There is the assumption that the time machine Lincoln has IS the one that eventually ends up on Craigslist though, in which case this is the catalyst for the above theory occuring; that's how Sebastian would obtain the time machine in the aforementioned theory. In this theory we do not have to worry about time travel being involved in ADATB in The Current Timeline at all, which makes things infinitely simpler. It still explains why the Elmer Revolution never occurs, but we'd still need an explanation for how Current Blame transfers to The Current Timeline.

My theory for this? TBD!

All of this to say that The Current Timeline essentially becomes a fixed timeline after the events of BtH. The events of BtH don't need to happen in this timeline, but they also physically cannot happen no matter what forces try to intervene.

So what implications does this have? I will go more in detail in a specific post, but it primarily relates to the events of Stuff & Sam in The Current Timeline, funny enough. The BRYCE finale gave us quite a bit to work with regarding the Elmer cloning hearts stuff, and also the factoid that S&S allegedly occurs BEFORE 2016 now... in this timeline. I will make a post in the future detailing a revised version of S&S that contains what I believe to happen in an amended canon compliant to the current timeline way.

ATTENTION: ALL BRANDON ROGERS FANS!

I'm making a series retrospective of all his main content! So far I've written the first video and I'm very happy with the result! So, if you want a retrospective before the Bryce series or if you want to show his content I hope this video will help you!

This first one will be focused on A Day at the Park, so it will go since his first video (the "Meet Grandpa =)") to the special. I will post it here once I'm done

[clarelikesitall]

Can we talk about how Blame is legit Cathy’s dad? And how Elmer is possibly Blames son too? Think about the ramifications.

BRCU ships as Fairy Tales

Including Stoliz because I’m trash

Worstthrust- The Princess and the Frog (my sister depressed me by saying Donovan is Ray)

Blaisely- Rapunzel (Although if I were to write this, I would use the Tangled plot line. Blame is so Flynn Rider coded except you know more BRCU)

Caroluxy-Beauty and the Beast (which is which unclear!)

Stoliz-Cinderella (which is which is again unclear, I mean the Blitzø Stolas parallels are obvious but also Stolas sending birds to pluck out Stella and Andrealphus’s eyes is incredible)

Bladuke- The Snow Queen (not frozen! Although that also wouldn’t be half bad, here’s a link to a YouTube vid that sums up the story fairly well https://youtu.be/GJPwgGkGqAc?si=ogm794JHfJ0zGE83)

Donna/George- Anastasia (come on amnesia! I know I know it’s more of a folktale than a fairytale, but come on)

Luxy/Flint (idk their ship name)- The Road to El Dorado (I know that’s a DreamWorks movie not a fairytale, but come on) no but seriously, Hansel and Gretel (little shit swindling their way out of dying is very them coded)

Mingworthy’s(or Adrian and Everly really)- The Little Mermaid (Adrian is Ariel)

Feel free to offer up more!

[ineffableelogann]

I wonder what would’ve happened if Helen had the brain to go back to the fight between Her and George, when she had the time machine, and made sure she’d win..

List of Every Brandon Rogers Characters Ever

I don’t know why I did this. It took 4 hours. I haven’t seen ever Brandon Rogers video (shocking, I know) so some are missing. I purposely didn’t add any parody characters (the Kardashians, Annabell, M3GAN etc), but if you notice any BRCU characters missing, please comment so I can add them.

And obviously the characters not credited are played by Brandon Rogers.

David July is credited as David Burton on this list. I’m not sure when they changed their name, as they are credited as both on Brandon’s videos.

I can’t remember who Debbie and Doyle are but I must of put them on this list for a reason

[imu-chan]

numerous questions about the brcu pt 1:

-are Ignacio and/or Sebastian Kathy’s kids

- if they aren’t, will they have a play date with Kathy’s kids

- according to the Grandpa Hates Christmas video, Samantha is Kathy’s oldest kid, but according to the Play date video Preston is the oldest

- here are the names of Kathy’s kids (that are confirmed) Preston, Samantha, Timmy, Stenson, BUT Kathy claims to have 10-15 and/or 10-26 kids total

- what is the baby’s name??

- that baby is going to have a crazy arc mark my fucking words

- Kathy is George (Grandpa)’s daughter, so who is her mom?

- Beatrice is Helen’s mom, who is her dad?

- in her first ever video, Bryce claims to have a son (probably an adult at that point in time) but who is he and WHO IS HIS DAD

- it’s either Donovan or Bobby and either one is acceptable imo

- if it’s Donovan’s tho that would make me so ungodly sad

- are Helen and Kathy sisters?

- who is Paisley related to?

- I like the theory of her being Bryce’s daughter because!!!!! Double Diva Diversion

- So Donna has a son named Elmer (who later gets mass-cloned) but who is his father?

- who is Sam related to? We know he’s an orphan but what is the TRUTH

- We know Bryce’s mother is named Tammy Tankthrust, but who is her dad?

- Tammy tells Bryce that she and her own mother (Bryce’s grandmother) did the double diva diversion, so who is Tammy’s mother?

- Is anyone at the dry cleaners related to anyone

- is Elmer autistic????

- is Karen (and Tyco) related to anyone?

- what’s up with Noah the Ghost

- ARE WE GOING TO SEE MORE DORIAN AND DAMIAN PLS I WANT TO SEE THEIR SIBLING ARC

- are Kathleen/Darlene related to anyone

- who is their kid Billy’s dad

- Draven Dusk?????

BRCU Timeline Ramble

I'm creating this as a reference point for any of the major events we have canon dates/time-frames for. I apologise that this will be very disjointed so I'd like to make an offical list eventually too.

Just for clarification, these are the timelines I'll be mentioning.

Pre-BtH Timeline - "Old/Original Timline"

The British Timeline

The Elmer Revolution Timeline

Post-BtH Timeline - "Current/New Timeline"

Bryce Tankthrust's Presidency

In the Post-BtH Timeline, we know that Bryce Tankthrust became president in the 2016 election (in BtH, a subtitle states that it was 2020, however this has been retconned and I stand firm with it being 2016 instead.) In the 2020 election, Bryce Tankthrust lost to Joe Biden, and the events of Madam Ex President ensue. From this, we know that Madam Ex President takes place after November 2020. Episode 3 of Normal British Series also corroborates that Bobby Worst was kidnapped after Bryce lost the election, meaning it's a safe assumption that Episode 5 and the non-flashback segments of Episode 4 take place in 2021.

In Normal British Series, we also find out that the Mingeworthies stole Queen Elizabeth II's ring in 2016, and Episodes 1 through to 3 before the 4-year timeskip all take place in 2016. Moreover, we can actually narrow this down to the Mingeworthies being well and truly British in Episode 1 by November 2020, as Bryce's election campaign advertisement specifically mentions "voting for me (Bryce) this November."

A Day At The Beach

We know A Day At The Beach takes place August 3rd, 2018 in the pre-BtH timeline, which is also mentioned in episode 5 of BtH (A Botched Beach (ABB)). Ep5 of BtH is the second time we see the events of ADATB, this time in "the British timeline" even though Blame technically arrived before the Mingeworthies could obtain the time machine, go back to 1865, and initiate the British timeline in the first place. This is gonna get really confusing, but now I'm going to talk about how this impacts all of Blame's iterations. To avoid further confusion, I'm going to refer to the collective setting of ADATB and ABB as simply "The Beach" and unless otherwise specified I'll be specifically referring to the depiction of the Beach in ABB.

Firstly, we have a good reference point to keep track of the two Blames seen at the beach:

The "main character" Blame who we've been following in BtH up until ABB has the colourful Jesus tattoo, while the "original" Blame who showed up to remove his tattoo still has the gang sign. Moreover, the "original Blame wears a chunky gold chain. I'll be referring to them as MC Blame and Original Blame respectively.

However, we also two versions of the time machine too: MC Blame's time machine, and Original Blame's time machine. The MC time machine gets smashed to bits by Lord Mingeworthy in ABB, forcing MC Blame to steal Original Blame's time machine. After ABB, the only time machine left in existence in the Original one.

In ABB, after some persuasion, the Original Blame comes to the conclusion that MC Blame needs the time machine more than he does, and decides to stay in 2018 to "get a second chance at life." This is the Blame that we see in Stuff & Sam, which occurs (chronologically) after the events Blame the Hero, as well as in any subsequent Brandon Rogers videos. At this point in ABB, MC Blame has already prevented the British timeline from occurring, and has allowed Tattoo Shop Elmer to become educated on the time machine's lore. This means that even before the Eldest Elmer has physically initiated the Elmer Revolution via nuclear b0mb in 2033, the "Elmer Revolution" timeline has already began. (Also note, Tattoo Shop Elmer and the Eldest Elmer are the same person in the most literal way possible.) I'm gonna go over everything to do with the Elmers in another post (likely after the next episode of BRYCE which will hopefully reveal some context and implications about what became of the Elmers in the post-BtH timeline) because figuring out how Stuff & Sam takes place after Blame the Hero despite it having explicitly pre-BtH events is gonna take a lot of brainpower.

We know that Sebastian Hernandez is the "real/correct" iteration of Blame that is meant to exist in 2018. He is canonically 7 in 2018, which means he was born in 2011. This also matches up with Blame's age, who is 22 in 2033. Due to the time travel Debacle, the Original Blame is also 22 in 2018. MC Blame is the one who goes on to become Grandpa, as MC Blame is ALSO 22 in 1942 (as indicated by the title cards in episode 6 of BtH). It is Donna (in WW2) that gives Blame the new identity of George (aka Grandpa) after serving his extensive head trauma. Physically, Grandpa would be 96 in ATATB in 2018. However, now we unfortunately need an explanation for how he was around in pre-BtH timeline. The same could technically be said for the depiction of Blame in "Thug got Secrets," however there's nothing in that video that disproves it taking place in 2033, right before Blame purchases the time machine. This is definitely a headcanon for the sake of simplicity, but I think it make enough sense as an easy explanation. At this point, MC and Original Blame would essentially be one in the same person, but if you wanted to be very specific, you could say TGS Blame is MC Blame.

Thank you so much if you read all that, let me know if there's something I left out an alternative explanation for anything! I love to hear other perspectives on the timelines.

UPDATE ABOUT BRANDON ROGERS RETROSPECTIVE PHASE 1!

I finishes recording the video! I hope people don’t mind my accent because it is pretty heavy haha (I will include subtitles for better understanding).

I’m so excited for it, unfortunately the editing won’t be the best I ever made because I will need to use imovie (I will try to install my usual editor though) and things haven’t gone the way I wanted but all in all? I’m very proud! I will post the link here on tumblr as well when I release it so stay tuned! Hope you enjoy it!

[dailybrandonrogers]

hiya so i used to be a huge brandon rogers fan but fell out for a few years and. oh boy did I miss a fuck ton of lore in those few years. i stopped watching basically when stuff and sam just started, so ive missed... a lot. while ive been trying to catch up (i cried my eyes out over bryces series), you seem to have the timeline worked out pretty well. what order would you say the brcu should be watched in? and is it important to keep up with "minor" roles/series like theater class or the grandpa hates ___/elmer hates ___/other solo skits, or is it better to stick to the "main" series (stuff and sam, blame the hero, etc)

also, I wanna say your analysis of the brcu is awesome. it's a confusing set of timelines that you've ironed out and theorized about pretty damn well. im curious if brandon rogers has done all this on purpose or if he's just making the timeline up as he goes

Hi! My sorries if this reply is a tad bit late, I always have trouble saving answers to my drafts.

In my personal definition, I'd say the BRCU encompasses (almost) every single video Brandon Rogers has ever made. Within the BRCU, I definitely think there's a "core" overarching storyline that revolves around certain characters. This core storyline is primarily explored via the several series, but nonetheless includes elements from other creations of his.

These "core" characters are primarily:

Sam & Donna

Elmer

Blame

Bryce Tankthrust

Bobby Worst

The Mingeworthies

The majority of them have been protagonists of a series at one point or another. However, almost every character played by Brandon himself can be considered important to the overarching plot. Therefore, I think watching individual character skits released 2015 - 2018 offer valuable insight into the personalities and smaller nuances of reoccurring characters. At the very least, I would recommend watching the videos centred on the aforementioned characters released in this time period prior to any of the series.

In general, I think the BRCU is best watched in the order the videos came out in. Although tricky at first, I think Brandon makes it easy to discern "where" we are at any given moment. And as a rule of thumb, outside of series, every video takes place chronologically in-universe after the other.

Moreover, as of 2022/2023, I believe we're going through a renaissance of sorts with an abundance of new characters being regularly created. Pretty much anything after Normal British Series. While very entertaining, I wouldn't say these are essential to understanding the main plot, as Brandon does have a degree of separation between old & new characters.

To hopefully simplify things, here's a playlist I made that imo includes more than enough context needed to understand that main storyline. If it appears a bit overwhelming at first, I'd rerecommend just sticking to skits of the characters I mentioned above before moving onto the series. Anything else can be a fun bonus!

Thank you so much for your kind words!! It makes me happy to know that you're enjoying my attempts at unravelled the complexities of these timelines.

BRCU Timeline Ramble - How does ADATB impact where and when Stuff & Sam occurs?

In my BRCU timeline masterlist, I included this dotpoint as an extremely surmised overview of when Stuff & Sam takes place:

This theory came to me on a whim, however I think it holds pretty significant weight and I'd like to elaborate on it in this post.

As always, here's my timelines guide:

--------------------------------

What we know about Donna from Stuff & Sam and other "old-timeline" videos:

Donna & George "Grandpa" Hernandez have a history together.

Donna has a son to an unnamed father called Elmer, who would be "well into its 40s by now" during the events of Stuff & Sam.

What we know about Sam from Stuff & Sam and other "old-timeline" videos:

He is 38 in a video released in 2016.

He was an orphan, and remained in an orphanage until he was 17 due to his distrust and hatred for fathers. At 17, he was adopted by Donna, who was likely seeking to fill the void in her heart left behind from the abduction of her biological son (despite her concious efforts to distance herself from that connotation due to the painful memories.)

From some of these solid dates, we can infer that Sam was born around 1978. We can also infer that Elmer was born in the 1970s as well.

In Blame the Hero we see Donna Phitts depicted as a young adult in the year 1942. Legally, I'd say the absolute youngest she could be here is 18, estimating her birth year to be at the latest 1924. This would make her a minimum of 94 during the events of Stuff & Sam. Donna's age is something I'm happy to take hilarious liberties with as it's a meta running joke (eg; the disease and fossilisation jokes) and the storylines poke fun at the absurdity of this fact. This would put her in her late 40s/early 50s at Elmer's birth, which all things considered isn't *unfathomably* unrealistic anyway.

A Day At The Beach - 1.0 & 2.0 Explanation

The A Day At The Beach (ADATB) video was released on August 3rd 2018, which is also the explicitly canon date that video occurs as stated in Episode 5 of BtH.

The 22-minute ADATB video begins in the Old Timeline, and ends in the British Timeline due to the mishandling of the time machine, and historical interference by the Mingeworthies in 1865. This prompts the beginning of Blame the Hero in the British Timeline once he takes back the time machine from Helen Brownstein, convinces his 7yro self not to get a agang sign tattoo, and returns to 2033. As a side note, Blame's precessor debut video "Thugs Got Secrets" takes place in 2033 in the Old Timeline.

In Episode 5 of Blame the Hero, Blame is able to murder the Mingeworthies in 1865 before they manipulate Abraham Lincoln and rise to power. This action alone prevents the British Timeline from occurring from this moment forward. HOWEVER, we have not yet entered the Elmer Revolution Timeline. I have decided to establish this as another timeline: The Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline. This is because Abraham Lincoln encourages Blame to stop the Mingeworthies from arriving in 1865 in the first place, which would also prevent Lincoln's survival of his assassination (and the people "winding up with civil rights" as he says.)

So now in the Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline, Blame arrives in a normal 2018. His new actions this time ensures the Mingeworthies never make it to 1865 as they destroy the time machine he arrived in 2018 with. However, this also prevents Blame from returning home to 2033.

Now here's the important bit:

Main Character Blame's order of events across ADATB and BtH looks like this:

Buy a time machine off of craigslist

Travel back to 2018, the year where he, as a 7 year old, got a gang sign tattoo, and convince his 7 year old self to get a different tattoo.

Lose the time machine in the sand upon arrival in 2018.

Later find the time machine after it exchanged many hands in the possession of Helen Brownstein who tells him where his past self is ("the boy in the picture you're looking for") [[🌟🌟🌟]]

Successfully deter 7 year old self from getting a gang sign tattoo, but get a "disney channel bullshit" tattoo as a replacement due to Sam being the adult to sign off on it.

Create and enter the British Timeline upon returning to 2033 due to the mishandling of the time machine during the period he'd lost it for in 2018

Terrorist Bobby Worst's nuclear apocalypse occurs as the military has been eradicated by the United States of Britian's Government.

Be recruited by the Secret Society of Elmers to prevent the apocalypse by preventing the Mingeworthies from rising to power.

After preventing the aforementioned, be instructed by Abraham Lincoln to prevent the Mingeworthies from using the time machine in the first place.

Travel to 2018 and prevent the Mingeworthies use of time travel, but lose his time machine in the process.

Now at this point Phone Elmer (aka Eldest & Tattoo Shop Elmer) instructs Blame to steal the time machine from "the original you who came here to change his tattoo." Original Blame in this context is Main Character Blame at the point in the prior list order marked with [[🌟🌟🌟]].

The crucial difference is this:

Main Character Blame came from the Old Timeline in 2033, arrived in the Old Timeline in 2018, left 2018 in the British Timeline and arrived in 2033 in the British Timeline.

^ I call that Beach 1.0

Original Blame came from the Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline in 2033, arrived in the Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline in 2018, and then stays in the Elmer Revolution Timeline in 2018 (the physical altercation between Main Character Blame and Original Blame allows Tattoo Shop Elmer to access the time machine, leave the Abraham Lincoln Lives Timeline in 2018, learn about its origins, create plans with Hitler to invent a nuke that makes everyone look like Elmer, and return to 2018 in the newly created Elmer Revolution timeline.)

^ I call that Beach 2.0

The key thing to remember here is that the Elmer Revolution timeline starts the moment Tattoo Shop Elmer returns to 2018 to give the time machine back to the Blames, even though the Elmer Revolution and its nuclear apocalypse doesn't start until 2033.

Now because Original Blame chose to give up his time machine to Main Character Blame and stay in 2018, this is the iteration we see of Blame several months later in Stuff & Sam. As I've mentioned in previous posts, Stuff & Sam takes place in the latter half of 2018 and the first half of 2019 for this reason. I strongly believe the version of Stuff & Sam we watch takes place in the Elmer Revolution Timeline for this reason.

This also means Elmer goes from looking like this:

To looking like this:

In a matter of a couple months which is very funny to me.

I am going to make a follow up to this theory addressing some subsequent plotholes that relate to this arc and these order of events.

In the epilogue of Episode 20 of Stuff & Sam, Bryce Tankthrust is kidnapped by the Eldest Elmer who holds her captive and tortures her indefinitely. In a chronological meta video release order, the later Episode 1 of Blame the Hero reveals she once again broke the legs of the Eldest Elmer, but is still being held captive nonetheless. This is a plothole because at the time of Episode 1 of BtH, Stuff & Sam is nowhere near occurring, and won't occur until BtH events are finished. So... how... did... any of this happen...

What happens to the Elmer Revolution Timeline after The Eldest Elmer (his conciousness in an Elmer Drone Body anyway) is killed in 1942 and the New Timeline comes into effect. Does Stuff & Sam still take place in the New Timeline?
