EverymanHYBRID and Tribetwelve

== Explanation ==
The EMH and TT crew exist in some sort of pocket in time and space. Both series occur 15 years earlier (1995-2003).
Vin, Jeff, and Evan are stuck in a cycle of iterations. Each time they are all dead, they get thrown into a new iteration. These iterations aren’t bound to a specific timeline of events and can vary, ex: Fairmont iteration, Princeton Tapes iteration, Youtube iteration,etc. Noah also experiences this, but the timeline the cycles follow is more established. It’s like cookie clicker but fucked up.
== EverymanHYBRID Youtube Iteration ==
Three friends, Jeff Koval, Evan Myers and Vincent Everyman, set out to create a fitness series, and as a joke, include a "fake" Slenderman to help them earn page views. When the real Slenderman begins to appear in their videos, they assume it's a prank being pulled on them, but after a run-in with the real Slenderman, they become concerned. Jeff's girlfriend, Jessa, disappears. Oddly edited videos, invisible to the EMH cast, are placed on their own YouTube channel by someone other than them, showing things that can't happen or that weren't intended for the viewers eyes, as well as things that the crew don't remember happening. Notes and clues with coordinates and cryptic hints begin to be found by the cast leading them to search for Jessa in various burned out locations, including in Brooklyn, where they have a direct confrontation with Slenderman, and finally, in the abandoned, burned-down mining town Centralia, PA.
Jeff blames Jessa's friend Stephanie for Jessa's disappearance, as her dark blog seems to frequently allude to Slenderman. Steph claims to know nothing of the disappearance, but after Jeff tips off the police, she is sent to a mental hospital. With no further clues or hope, the search for Jessa is abandoned.
Meanwhile, a creature called The Rake inhabits Jeff's brother Alex's closet, and injures him while he sleeps. Evan, Jeff and Alex eventually lock The Rake inside Alex's bedroom. Later when they go in to try and fight the thing, they find it missing, and the room physically altered.
Through clues and evidence found at the mystery coordinates, fans of the series help to build a backstory about a Dr. Corenthal who, in 1971, adopted disturbed children who he referred to as the Mining Town Four. These children shared the same first names as Steph and the main cast (the patient Evan is nicknamed HABIT).
After the murder of their friend Ryan, a mysterious tournament is opened by an entity called HABIT (who is believed to have left the caches of clues and co-ordinates, and to have uploaded the hidden videos). The main cast and 200 other "rabbits" (who view the YouTube videos) join and begin completing 7 Trials. The main cast are quickly eliminated. The "rabbits" are eventually whittled down to 7 remaining, and the Trials seem to come to an end.
The cast break Stephanie out of the mental hospital, believing she can help, but she admits to them that she actually knows very little about Slenderman other than being a victim herself. She stays with Evan, fearing the police's actions if she were to go back to her apartment. Steph and Evan eventually begin a relationship.
Along the way, many new discoveries throw shadow on the proceedings: someone is placing pinhole cameras in the boy's homes; Evan has killed their friend Nick; the Rake is attacking and killing all their friends; and their friend Jessie is discovered to be a distant relation of Dr. Corenthal's. They investigate the connection but Jessie and other members of her family soon become victims of the Rake.
In actions that seem to mirror a prophecy found in Box 5, Jeff becomes increasingly distant, Evan increasingly erratic and Vince seem to become more determined than ever to film everything, no matter how hurtful presenting it may be. Steph and Evan's relationship progresses and it is revealed that Steph is pregnant, presumably with Evan's baby. Alex appears to have been killed by Slenderman while on the way to Jessie's funeral with Vince.
Evan, while inHABITed, tortures and kills Jeff, and murders both Steph and her baby. HABIT then brings Evan back out of his trance, and forces him to look upon what he's done. He cries and screams with sorrow after witnessing the remains of his friend(s) in a house HABIT took as his own. Later, he calmly discusses the memories he still has of what HABIT made him do, and recalls the feeling of his daughter's bones against his teeth. Obviously traumatized and defeated, deeming himself a "monster" that's "had enough", he confesses he is going to kill himself by engaging in battle with the Rake.
Vince is then confronted with an uninHABITed Evan seeking help, who tells Vince of the physical pain the Rake put him through, but how not a mark was left on his body after he was torn apart, and he admits frustration that his emotional state is not at all evident in his physical appearance—which HABIT keeps as he wants it. Evan, manic, details to Vince how he beheaded the Rake but it still didn't die.
After weeks of nothing, Vince comes to the conclusion that nothing will get solved unless the two of them summon HABIT to try to find answers. He finds an old book in a store full of new books that tells him how to summon an entity (with additions and deletions made to the instructions by someone) and he and Evan do so together. HABIT, upon returning, laughs at the stupid poses and attire Evan wore according to the instructions (that HABIT admits he doctored). He explains to Vince that before he kills him, he wants to reveal to Vince important things due to his admirable bravery.
HABIT shows Vince a multitude of his horrid deeds. He explains to him the fate of Lexi, who has disappeared and is assumed dead. Vince captures Mark, the man who discovered Box 5. HABIT uses Vince as a mode of capturing people so that he can interrogate them and kill them. This occurs when Shaun Andersen of MLAndersen0 comes to HABIT's abode, has his emotions toyed with, and then is allegedly killed in a sequence of videos on both channels. Vince, finally unable to take any more, tries to leave the house. HABIT knocks him out and he awakes in Jeff's bedroom with a countdown on a computer monitor; the video cuts off just as it reaches 00:00:00. At Christmas 1999, a video is uploaded where a sound file with sounds missing is played.
In the midst of these events, HABIT brings Evan back out of his trance and leaves a clue that gives Vince the sudden realization that their entire lives are fiction, and that none of their experiences have been truly real.
After awakening from his stint in Jeff's room, Vince is seen blindly stumbling into an apartment, chased by entities unknown to him. He remains in this apartment, with no outside interaction and spotty internet connection (save for the few months in which Evan crashed on his couch, briefly uninHABITed) for approximately 2 years. Later, in "Two thousand three hundred ninety-five," while engaging in a sort of play-hunt with the demonic parasite, it is revealed before entering the apartment, Vince had attempted suicide at HABIT's request.
During Christmas, 2001, HABIT is revealed to have been living with Vince in an unknown location for a few months now, and as the new year approaches, Vince reports that he had been running about the house, chanting "New year, new me" very excitedly. They (or, at least HABIT), seem to have an idea or a basic plan to attack and presumably destroy Slenderman once and for all. Vince also reveals that he can now see the hidden videos on the channel.
In April 2002, HABIT urges the last remaining Rabbits in the Trials (#082 and #041) to make contact on CanYouSeeTheWords. Rabbit #041 subsequently posts that they have received the DRKWND disk in the mail. The disk contains transcribed news files and introduces Elizabeth, an alleged clairvoyant.
The DRKWND disk also contains the handwritten url to http://davidsonlawnj.info/, website of Dr. Corenthal's lawyer, William J. Davidson. Reddit user thesharp0ne sends a letter to the P.O. box listed on the website in July, and receives a response in October, in the form of the William Davidson Letter. Davidson explains that an "unnamed client" left him with a package to be sent if he received a letter such as thesharp0ne's. In November, thesharp0ne receives the Roberts Package (apparently originally intended for Adam Roberts). Later, in January 2018, thesharp0ne receives a letter from A. Row, Davidson's nephew, apparently originally intended to be in the Roberts Package.
In February 2003, thesharp0ne receives another package, containing the Princeton Tapes. The tapes contain the audio diary of a Vince from a unique iteration speculated to take place in 1987-1989. The Vince on these tapes is in group therapy, potentially on drugs, and makes contact with the Rake, who invades his house and speaks to him. Vince learns of Fairmount Vince through a true crime zine, and dies mysteriously while attempting to investigate Corenthal and the Mining Town Four.
In April 2003, Vince confirms he's been listening to the Princeton Tapes and plans to go to the Fairmount Home in Ohio for answers. He confronts HABIT, telling him he's going to leave. HABIT angrily lets him go, letting him know he'll be lost without his help, and that him dying will be inevitable. He leaves for the Fairmount Home, and on the way there sees Jeff (most likely an apparition created by the Slenderman or HABIT) trying to get Vince to go on a night hike him. He points out that he's dead and can't be here, and quickly drives away. He makes it to Ohio at night and is two hours away from the Fairmount Home, but is too tired to continue, and goes to sleep. He is abruptly awoken by a loud noise and a bright light before being teleported into the middle of a field, where it's now day time. He wanders into the woods where he runs into Jeff again, who is injured and is trying to get Vince to help "him and his brother". Vince runs away from him, and eventually finds his car. He taunts HABIT through the camera, saying "We made it." We then hear what is presumably audio from the future of Vince pleading and begging for help, saying that he should not have come.
Vince arrives at the remains of the Fairmont Children's Home and searches multiple buildings before finding the place mentioned in the tapes. With his new knowledge of the North Star, he leaves. Upon his return to the apartment, he receives instruction from HABIT to meet at the coordinates texted to him, which leads him to the Corenthal’s Cabin.
HABIT plans to kill Vince, until he finds that he found the North Star. While HABIT explains his plan, Vince gets a phone call from James Corenthal, warning him that this is the wrong course of action. Vince refuses to abandon HABIT’s plan and hangs up. HABIT trains Vince and explains that they must brand the North Star onto a knife in order to kill Slenderman. The next day, HABIT brings Vince outside and hands him the shotgun. HABIT reveals to him that he wants Vince to kill Evan, angering him.
HABIT leaves Evan’s body, and he attacks Vince, saying that he’s been shown what he’s done. It is revealed that Vince was under the influence of Slenderman all along. Vince put the cameras in their houses and led Alex to his death. The two fight, and Evan is stabbed with the knife. While he’s writing in pain, Vince retrieves the shotgun and shoots him. In one last attempt, Evan throws the knife at Vince. It grazes him, and he crawls to Evan. Both die.
== TribeTwelve Youtube Iteration ==
As explained by Firebrand in Chapter 31: Mansplaining of WYSI:YHGS, He was once human like Bodil. But he was stuck in a time loop, creating different versions of him. And after a while, he was invited to join this group called the Collective, which was sort of a club made by Slenderman. He took it upon himself to work towards getting his past selves to his rank so that they wouldn’t be as powerless to the Observer’s trolling. After failure after failure, and eventually youtube iteration Noah’s death. He decides he’s done with this.
== Crossroads ==
Some of EverymanHYBRID’s and TribeTwelve’s iterations meet. It’s like a venn diagram, most of them are separate and only some timelines crossover. After severing Firebrand’s ties to the Collective and teaching Noah about the severance symbol, Firebrand owed him one. After the death of youtube iteration Noah, Firebrand is tired of everything, and decides the only thing left is HABIT. He nether portals to the monochrome dimension and un-nether portals into NJ. HABIT gave him a crudely drawn map of how to get to his house if he needed him. Firebrand finds his house and vents (AMONG US!?) to HABIT about it, and he’s like “damn that sucks, wanna smoke weed and play video games?” Which leads to Firebrand just crashing at HABIT’s place until the iteration is over and swearing not to get in HABIT’s way. Firebrand asks HABIT if he ever gets bored of torturing these gay college kids, and he ponders, eventually admitting that he’s getting bored with it. Firebrand proposes the idea to break out of their iterations and into the real world, to which HABIT agrees. The two would have around three months to fuck around before HABIT would hunt down Vinny in Two Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Five. In Half-Acre of Ash through All Good Things, Firebrand would be the cameraman. After Evan and Vin are dead, HABIT keeps his promise and resets everyone, but this time he “respawns” with Evan in Alabama, taking Firebrand with him. Firebrand arrives in Buttfucknowhere in August of 2003 as a 12-year-old. He meets Bodil while he awaits HABIT’s arrival. HABIT arrives in 2006, being late due to 1) having to make his way there, 2) being busy killing people in the meantime. HABIT and Firebrand live in a house belonging to a random family HABIT decided to kill until they’re 19. After then, they rent an apartment with money that Firebrand and HABIT made at Klub Ice (HABIT’s the janitor).
== Slenderman’s Involvement ==
Slenderman doesn’t have ill intentions in either series. In the case of EverymanHYBRID, he allows the iteration to reset because he feels bad about everyone dying. The reason he doesn’t let them die (unless they’re killed by HABIT) is because of this. He doesn’t want HABIT to kill them and is like “dude… that’s fucked up..” but HABIT’s power surpasses Slenderman’s, thus he’s able to kill the three. Jessa and Alex’s deaths are completely accidental, for some inexplicable reason those who aren’t the main three just turn into black goo when touched by him and he often forgets. He wanted to help them but black goo happened.
In the case of TribeTwelve, Slenderman makes a fun little club and the Observer keeps inviting Noah but his invitations are borderline trogging. Firebrand is the result of a past Noah joining the Collective.
== Miscellaneous ==
* Firebrand lies to Bodil when he says that HABIT isn’t malicious and that he doesn’t torture people anymore.
* HABIT runs a Seven Trials in the main WYSI timeline.
* HABIT and Firebrand tend to have a symbiotic relationship. HABIT is able to free them from their cycle of iterations while Firebrand is able to decrease the effects of possession burnout on Evan.
* Vinny and Jeff exist in the real world but are separated from Evan. They remember him as a childhood friend who moved away.
