[pagodazz]

THIS. IS LITERALLY PRINCETON VINNIE'S SONG GUYS I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

he LITERALLY moves to a brand new city to try and fix himself and get over his drug addiction where he goes through Major higher and lows and OUYGHSHDHDHFHEHSHSHS we don't know the type of drugs he's taking, he refers to them as "the substances" which to me is like 😭😭 bc he's either taking multiple, or he doesn't even know what he's taking, he's just getting whatever he can which IS PAINFUL.

reading back my own points and not being able to tell if im actually stupid or a revolutionary genius in the field of slenderman literature

[sneakypeddler]

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

[veespee]

Hey!! your writing is AMAZINGGGG and I love how you view characters.

Do you have any headcanons for vinnie everyman?

MOON!!! HI HI you are literally the reason why i made this account and started taking writing seriously,,, sobbing rn

i was planning on making a post about Vinnie but i couldn't come up with any interesting ones, so here are some that i brainstormed. sorry if there are any mistakes, i wanted to make them close to canon but i put some of my theories in there too :)

Vinnie Everyman Headcannons

-(this one's kinda sad so apologies) He sees Evan through HABIT, and HABIT through Evan. Basically: when HABIT jokes with Vinnie, he sees Evan. He sees his jokey and rowdy friend at that moment. But he has to remind himself; that's not Evan, that's a monster. But. When HABIT left Evan's body for some time, Vinnie could only see HABIT. He tells Evan that he doesn't think he's a monster, but i believe in the back of his mind, there's some bitterness. He knows this isn't Evan's fault, but he's still frustrated. He's so confused, no one's giving him answers. Except for HABIT.

That's why i think he's disappointed in a way, he wants HABIT to stay in Evan's body. HABIT is useful, although destructive. He doesn't like HABIT, he doesn't want to like HABIT, but he still needs him. He needs someone to tell him what to do, a higher being that knows more than him.

-^ continuing that, that's the reason why he didn't take Corenthal's warning seriously. He believed HABIT over his own father, biological or not, figure because HABIT is so knowledgeable. He thinks HABIT is so wise, and that's what HABIT wants Vinnie to believe. It feeds his ego, and he keeps Vinnie under his control.

-Also, it's not really hard to be manipulated by HABIT. He talks and acts like he's wise and knowledgeable, and honestly, he's good at it. Vinnie's intimidated by his threats, but also follows him around like a dog. Again, i'm repeating myself, but he's so infatuated with HABIT cause he feels like he's the only one that can answer him. And HABIT keeps him around to feed his ego, and to get his plan going.

-Furthermore, I think his relationship with Corenthal is SO interesting. Although i think Corenthal in general is such an interesting and underrated character, but that's a whole another post. Now, for this one I'll go a bit far from canon, but these are HCs so i guess that's the point lol: Basically, i think Vinnie DOES see Corenthal as a father figure, but he has complicated emotions. He distances himself from Corenthal, possibly out of just bitterness. Now i'm talking about the YouTube iteration, not Fairmount or Princeton, so that means that Vinnie has his own biological parents. However, Vinnie's memory got wiped (i mean, he knows he has parents and siblings, but he can't remember anything about them) so who's the only one he can remember? Dr. Corenthal.

Corenthal falls under someone I believe Vinnie gets attached to; someone who's wise, knowledgeable. He's a doctor, and a much older man, and he knows a lot about the boys' situation. We don't see a lot of interactions between them, so I'll just use my imagination for this part, but i believe that Vinnie is bitter because of how little Corenthal has said. He knows the Doctor knows what's going on, yet he's such a mysterious figure. He only appears a handful of times, and the other information they have about him are from old letters he had written. So Vinnie must be thinking, why isn't he helping? Why isn't he protecting us, if he has so much knowledge? So when Corenthal does contact him, he's suspicious. He doesn't believe him, instead, he believes HABIT. HABIT's there for him, even in a twisted way, and Vinnie believes that there's no way he's being lied to. So when Corenth tries to open Vinnie's eyes, he keeps them shut, and stays blind to HABIT's manipulation. Thus, resulting to Vinnie's death. Thus, resulting to another iteration where Corenthal can't save his children.

alright that's all :3 thank you for reading and thank you Moon for the request!!

[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]

are these anything ??

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 .
