People who don't like it when ppl ship the emh guys like
Evan x Jeff, or Evan x Vinnie, or Jeff x Vinnie, or whatever bc of the fairmount iteration and how they were technically "brothers" (They we're all adopted at ages old enough to know they weren't actually family too. AND OBVIOUSLY, THIS GOES WITHOUT SAYING: DONT SHIP THE KIDS?? that's weird)
ARE WE FORGETTING THAT?? CORENTHAL ADOPTED STEPH TOO???
Evan and Steph were WAY closer in that iteration too??? BUT ?? IT'S NOT WEIRD TO LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP??
like, genuinely, I'm confused 😭😭 ?? are y'all just hating bc it's mlm??? OR DO YOU GUYS GENUINELY FORGET THAT STEPH IS APART OF THAT TOO??
If it would be weird to ship the guys ,,, it should be weird to ship Evan and Steph?? but it's NOT bc they're literally TOGETHER.
Why do the gay guys gotta be the ones getting judged ⁉️
it's not like they have any memory at all of the iteration, or that they're related by blood AT ALL.

i keep imagining Tim going to Fairmount as a child And Dr. Corenthal instantly being like "Okay this is my new son now ig" I have a very vivid mental imagine of lil Tim quietly sitting in a little graveyard and gently tracing the names on the tombstones and then Dr. Corenthal comes up and Tim's like "They all died on the same day." And Dr. Corenthal looks at Fairmount!Vinnie, Fairmount!Jeff Fairmount!Stephanie and Fairmount!Evan's tombstones and lets out the saddest sigh and is like "Kid, you shouldn't be out here. It's not a good place." Have a little blurb i'll turn this into an AO3 fanfic when I get the chance (also i have no idea how old the MT4 were when they were adopted or what year they died so I just made them all 10-12 and put the date of death as the day of the 10-27-1981 letter) Edit: due to extentuating circumstances (actually fucking reading the wiki) I changed all of their ages to 16-18) Dr. Corenthal looked around. Where was the kid? He'd been quietly coloring in his room, and now he wasn't. He glanced out the window and saw the kid, the new patient- Tim, that was his name, Timothy Wright- sitting in the little graveyard behind Fairmount Children's Home. Dr. Corenthal hesitated. Tim shouldn't be out there. It was cold outside, and... and a burial ground was no place for a small child. He shrugged on his coat and stepped outside. Tim sat quietly in the midst of the four tombstones, solemnly tracing the lettering on them with his index finger. He seemed almost as if he were in a trance, not hearing or not caring about Dr. Corenthal coming up to him. The doctor sat down next to the small boy. "Kid, what are you doing out here? It's cold. You'll freeze." He said. Tim's eyes remained fixed on the tombstone in front of him. "I didn't know you had kids." He said. Dr. Corenthal looked at the tiny tombstone, the hand-carved lettering- he remembered carving those letters into the stone himself with shaky hands and a film of tears, a process which took him most of a week. The words, which read: HERE LIES VINCENT CORENTHAL BELOVED SON BORN JUNE 21ST 1963 DIED OCTOBER 27TH 1981 MAY HE REST WITH THE ANGELS "They all died on the same day." Tim stated. Dr. Corenthal flinched. "They did, indeed." He agreed, slightly wary. Tim pointed to each of the other tombstones in turn.
HERE LIES STEPHANIE CORENTHAL BELOVED DAUGHTER BORN DECEMBER 19TH 1964 DIED OCTOBER 27TH 1981 MAY HER SPIRIT FIND PEACE AT LAST
HERE LIES JEFFERY CORENTHAL BELOVED SON BORN AUGUST 18TH 1964 DIED OCTOBER 27TH 1981 MAY HE DREAM PEACEFULLY
HERE LIES EVAN CORENTHAL BELOVED SON BORN NOVEMBER 22ND 1965 DIED OCTOBER 27TH 1981 MAY HE FOREVER SLUMBER "Why?" Tim asked. "What?" Dr. Corenthal said. "Why did they die? How did they die? Was there some kind of accident?" Tim asked. He looked up at Dr. Corenthal, and the good doctor was struck by how innocent and sweet his eyes were. He had no idea how cruel and evil the world could be. To him, the Tall Man was nothing more than a scary monster, and there were always going to be good people who could save him from the monster. But no one could save Dr. Corenthal. And no one had saved his children. No one had saved Jeffery, poor Jeffery- Dr. Corenthal still remembered his wife's screaming, poor Maryann was inconsolable, she found Jeffery eviscerated, his guts thrown around the room like confetti, and there was blood- oh, so much blood. Poor, poor Stephanie- lying with her arms and legs bent at awkward angles, her skull cracked open like an egg, her eyes blank and lifeless, lightless, no more life, no more Steph. She'd had a nasty fall, trying to stop- to stop the- the boy- from getting upstairs, from getting to Vincent's room, tried to protect Vinnie, but she couldn't- oh God, poor Steph. No one saved her, either.
Vincent, oh god, poor Vinnie- he tried so hard to stop- to stop the boy- even though he knew there was no one he could save, he fought- he tried- he could have run, could have run, the door was right there- but no, no. He stayed. He fought. He died. Poor Vinnie, oh god, collapsing when Dr. Corenthal finally made it up the stairs and into the room, bleeding, Vinnie looking at him with a sad smile, "I love you, Dad." And then no more, no more Vinnie, no more serious eldest child who always tried to take care of the others, no more baking with Maryann after school, no more talented crayon drawings that had turned into the beautiful oil pastels on the refrigerator, no more Vincent, all gone. He didn't want do do it, didn't want to kill him, but he had to- had to protect Linnie, had to protect the only one left, had to save her- had to get the gun, ran down the stairs as he heard the boy, the creature IN the boy- "Papa. Papa, where are you going? Come back." And then the voice, demonic and unholy, "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME, RABBIT." The humming, that fucking humming, the creature that was in the boy, was in- in Evan, that THING- HABIT. HABIT chased Dr. Corenthal down the stairs of that house, chased him into the room where Dr. Corenthal slammed the door in it's face, heard it pounding, shrieking in an unholy tongue, and he prayed, he prayed for God to save him, and he yanked open the drawer, ripped out the gun, and the door crumpled, the wood splintered, and he was standing in the doorway, he was wearing Evan's body, covered in blood with a knife in each hand, and Dr. Corenthal cried and screamed, his hand shook but he did it, he shot the demon, and then it was over and it's rage filled purple eyes became confused brown ones, and it wasn't HABIT but Evan, Evan asking why, why. And then it was all over. No more Evan. No one had saved his children. No one could save him. Dr. Corenthal suddenly jolted back to reality. "It was a terrible accident, yes." He said. "What happened? Was it a car accident or something?" Tim asked. Dr. Corenthal hesitated. "Timothy, listen. You're young. Small. You don't need to be hearing about what happened to my kids, not now. Okay?" He said. Tim looked at him with those innocent brown eyes, so much like the eyes that had once stared out of the face of his beloved eldest son. "Okay." Tim said quietly. They both stood up, and Dr. Corenthal wrapped an arm around Tim's shoulders. "Do you have any more kids?" Tim asked. Dr. Corenthal thought of Linnie. Thought of how she was getting along, twelve years after the "accident". She was in college now. She was okay now. As okay as she could be. He thought of how easy it was for those innocent brown eyes, so much like the eyes of his darling youngest son, to lie. To hide the dark truth behind them. "No, Tim. They were it. I have no children left." Dr. Corenthal lied. Tim nodded solemnly. Dr. Corenthal turned and led Tim back towards Fairmount Children's Home, glancing back at the graveyard. "Tim, let me give you some advice, okay?" Dr. Corenthal said. Tim looked up at him, and what the good doctor said would stick with him for the rest of his life, through everything, through Jay, through Alex, through Brian, through everything that happened in Rosswood and everything that would ever happen to him again. "There are... things. In this world. Things like the creature who you draw sometimes. And some of them are good, but some of them are very, very bad. Timothy, son, you listen to me. You meet these things? Do not trust them. Do not try to kill them. Better yet, duck your head and run the other way. You understand me, son?" Dr. Corenthal said. Tim was never good at running. He ran, he ran so fast and so far but he never ever made it, the things always caught up to him, until he stopped running. But when he was a child, he understood. "I understand." Tim said. Dr. Corenthal sighed. "Bless you, kiddo."

could we possibly see more stephbit?
Close Encounters of the Absurd Kind
Features: Stephbit, Fairmount Warnings: Light violence
Look, it’s not that she doesn’t believe in aliens or the supernatural or shit like that, but she has yet to see any proof of it. Well, at least until her host Steph got spooked by a movie and some noises in the attic, and was forcing her to hold a stakeout.
“This is stupid.”
“Hey, we both heard something up there, you can’t call it stupid when you heard it too.”
“Yes I can, this is stupid.”
“Shhh, I think I heard something.”
The pair listened quietly for a moment, only to jump at a sudden loud crashing in the attic.
“I told you-” “KILL!”
Steph yelped as her body bolted forward without her input, scrambling up into the attic to see what was up there. What they hadn’t expected to see was Evan. Or at least, the thing had Evan’s face.
“Ev?” “That’s not Evan dickass, that’s a Habit.”
Evan, or rather, the guy who was wearing his face, tilted his head with a laugh. “Wow, okay, wasn’t expecting to get instantly clocked… Wasn’t expecting to see myself in a Steph either though, but I’m not complaining, you’re pretty.”
“Wha- Pretty!?” Stephbit spluttered, bringing her fist back and punching him square in the face. “Get out of my attic!”
“Fuck no, you punched me in the face!”
“That’s cause’ your face is ugly.” “Rude.”
Stephbit stared at him quietly, tilting her head. “Sooo… You still go by Evan or?”
“Fairmount.” He offered a hand, grinning over at her as his nose slowly healed from being broken. “You’ve got quite the punch.”
“Thanks.” She rolled her eyes with a grin. “Hey, think fast.”
“Why- Æ-!!” Stephbit laughed as his nose cracked loudly.

So I'm guessing we have Steph? as an angel, Northstar as daddy, and Fairmount as memory? I think? This is so confusing. 
Annddd I'm guessing Northstar is *actually* a dad (not in a freaky way, I HOPE).
P.S.
Hoping on hearing something from Bunny; they seem lovely!  :3c

the absolute hilarity of the idea of steph and jeff acting like siblings no matter the iteration. fairmount!steph once chased fairmount!jeff with a knife. one iteration when the rest of the group was asleep jeff walked into stephs room for no reason and when she asked what was up he socked her in the shoulder. in one case she confided in him about her family’s death and he confided in her about his own. they’re normally alone for a long while in the candleverse so sometimes they just sit and talk about everything they loved and lost, and how close they were to winning. and they sit and joke and cry and laugh together as they plan on what to do next. in the latest iteration she bit him

when evan relapsed he usually attacked me or steph, almost never jeff.
we had a little hiding spot that doctor either didnt know about or just chose to leave alone?? it was like. in the attic rafters. we built stuff up until it was sturdy and covered it with blankets n stuff
after group relapses we wld make a big cuddle pile!!!!!
there was a creek behind the house and sometimes we would sneak out there and all play in the creek. usually doctor corenthal found us but sometimes we'd make it out and back in without him noticing
we all hugged a lot?? just randomly we'd walk up to eachother and hug
now to like,, more serious stuff :
we lived a while longer. a few years.
i kinda remember how steph died. i remember that she just. ran out of the house and we didnt see her again?
other than that i dont have many memories of deaths but i know we all died at some point

Slenderverse AU time
-Ok is its like??? A modern day iteration where it’s similar to Fairmount and dr. Corenthal adopts the emh guys as kids (+Alex Koval)
-but then has the realization that like “Fuck what if they’re are MORE kids like this”
-so he goes on a journey to find and collect help more kids dealing with that faceless fuck
-He ends up finding Tim first
-The hospital doesn’t know how to handle him and the doc just goes “look I’ve five other kids let handle this”
-He goes to Tim and says “listen I know it may seem crazy but I can help with the faceless guy in a suit and also it’s real but you gotta trust me” and Tim(who was like 9) is just like “???ok???”
-He more or less adopts Tim (cause his mom isn’t around to stop him)
-bonus!!: dr corenthal: “you mind if I call you Tim instead of Timothy? I usually give all my kids nicknames” Tim, on the verge of tears: “y-yeah”
-Next he finds Noah and Milo
-Is this a spoiler? Idk it might be sooooo
-It was when Mary sets the house on fire buuuuuut this time Noah’s parents are killed in the fire
-Mary gets arrested this time and sent to jail forever! Cause fuck Mary Asher!
-Dr. corenthal is just like “I can’t take one and leave the other that would be rude!”
-But then he finds out Noah is also being haunted and he’s glad he dodged that bullet
-Next he find Michael and Patrick (who are twins in the version because fuck you)
-It was sort of after Patrick attack Shaun, but Michael is also rambling on and on about the faceless man in the woods
-Mr. and Mrs. Andersen are just about ready to send them off to a hospital
-UNTIL dr. Corenthal shows up and says he can help with these kids and the Andersens are just like “take them” (because they’re awful parents)
-The last one he finds is Stan
-Sooooo this is after his family is killed by the slenderman and he’s all by himself
-He also got the immunity to it (because what is timeline)
-So the doctor comes and collects another child and holy shit he’s got a lot of kids
Domestic life time!
-for the ages it goes like this from oldest to youngest: Tim(16), Vinnie(16), Jeff(16), Evan(15), Steph(15), Milo(15), Patrick(15), Michael(15), Noah(14), Stan(14), Alex(13)
-they live in a huge house
-they can stop the virus they have from spreading to others
-Michael and Patrick are super protective and clingy towards one another. Patrick is 100% ready to fight anyone who so much as look at Michael wrong
-Alex is the baby
-Tim is the mom of the family when Dr. Corenthal isn’t around
-Noah and Stan are constantly at each other’s throats
-Habit? Never heard of him
-Alex has a dog in this version too
-Stan ends up having to yell at various monsters to get them to leave when they show up at the house
-Tim meets Brian in middle school during 6th grade. Tim has to go to the nurse to pick up his med and Brian has fallen down the stairs, and Brian, being the social butterfly he is, sees this quiet kid with no friends and goes “my friend now”
-Vinnie has a friend named Roger who keeps trying to convince him to join the cryptid club at school and vin is like “buddy I already have too many cryptids in my life”
-Noah, Milo, Kevin, Sarah (t12 not mh) and Kit all get together to hang out on Saturdays
-Tim meets jay at the 8th grade dance. Brian was talking to one of his friends and Tim was feeling generally awkward and a bit overwhelmed at all the people so he slipped outside for a bit to be by himself and then there’s this skinny looking kid out there too not doing anything?? Tim doesn’t really know what to do so he just sits out there with them and they start talking and then Brian comes out looking for Tim and hangs out with them too.
-Eventually jay introduces him to Alex and then Alex introduces him to Seth and Sarah and Amy and Jessica and where did tim get all these friends holy shit
-and it’s happily ever after!! Everyone is ok and happy!

CLARIFYING PRINCETON
[google docs version]
so i wrote some stuff about emh again, but this time i think its actually a very necessary part of the story that needed to be discussed and clarified. this is very...very long. sorry!
~~~
The Princeton iteration of the everymanhybrid timeline is one of the hardest to consume, as dates and the chronological order of events is moreso implied through the context of the dialogue provided in the tapes rather than outright and plainly shown.
We know that the Fairmount era begins in 1971 with the first Corenthal Report, and ends in 1981 with the news that the last child of the mining town 4 had finally succumbed. We know that the Everymanhybrid era begins in 2010 when the youtube channel was created, and ends in 2018 with the deaths of Evan and Vinny.
We know that the Princeton era begins in December of 1987, just before Christmas, as evident in what Vinny tells us throughout the first few entries of the tapes. But...when did Princeton end?
It’s not as simple as just figuring out when Vinny himself died, because he isn’t solely reliable for when iterations begin and end. A big, very important part of it for sure...but Vinny has friends: Jeff and Evan. And to assume they died immediately following their disappearance from Vin’s life as described in TRAILHEAD would simply be jumping the gun a bit.
Why? Well the answer isn’t too hard. It’s because Evan was alive in 2005, and Habit used his body during the confrontation with Corenthal at Baldpate (described in house phone 2005, and referenced in an article from the microfilm collection). So what happened? How had Evan been alive in 2005? What happened to Jeff, Steph, and Vinny during the time period between 1993 (the year Vinny presumably died) and 2010? To answer this, we will need to cross reference between the Tapes, house phone 2005, and -.-. (the morse code video “C”) - as well as take a deep dive into the dates at which entries occur in the Princeton Tapes. In doing so, we will find a coherent timeline of events which will explain many details that before now have yet to really be discussed.
in the princeton iteration, vinny mentions that evan and jeff have disappeared on him (TRAILHEAD), and in the entry following (SHOPPING), he reiterates a sentiment about being abandoned...and ends with stating the Phillies won. if the listening order of these tapes is to be believed as entirely correct, then these two entries MUST take place before MOVIES, which we know was recorded in 1989 because that is the year Pet Sematary was released and when Vinny saw it.
lets take a look at the phillies 1983 and 1989 seasons. in 1983, the phillies won the national league east title. in 1989, it was the phillies 107th season. they did not win the title  - in fact, they placed last. they only played 163 games in the regular season; in the june 5th game against the pittsburgh pirates, the score was tied 3-3...however, rainy weather caused the game to be interrupted. thus, a replacement game was played at a later date. this would mark the last regular season tie game for the phillies as playing rules changed in 2007 allowing tie games to continue from the point of interruption at a later date. on june 8th 1989, against the pittsburgh pirates for the second time, the phillies won.
If the tapes begin in December of 1987, that only leaves a few years time between then and TRAILHEAD/SHOPPING. FRIENDS & GAMING takes place in 1988, which we know from the reference to that year’s presidential election with Dukakis. Thus, its pretty indisputable that Jeff and Evan must have disappeared between FRIENDS & GAMING in 1988 and TRAILHEAD/SHOPPING, 1989. With that being the case, we can then assume that Vinny was indeed referencing the June 8th Phillies win against the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1989.
So Jeff and Evan were gone from Vinny’s life before June 1989, but what happened to them?
The short answer: they had to have died at some point, of course. but we can get more specific than that. Let’s take a look at Jeff.
in -.-., jeff says, "nineteen years go by...you forget...for a moment i thought it was all real."
-.-. takes place in 2010 (we know this because evan states its been 5 years since corenthal and habits confrontation which we know for certain takes place in 2005.) 2010 - 19 is 1991. jeff may not necessarily be referencing how long he has been in the candleverse, but there is a connection worth making here. in box 7 there is a labyrinth books bookmark with dates written on the back, written by vinny presumably. 1989, 1990, and 1991 are present
1989 is crossed out, and 1990 and 1991 have a question mark to the side. there could be a few ways to interpret this, but my assumption is that this note was written in 1989 around the time vinny received the zine (explained in detail below:)
1989 is the year TRAILHEAD takes place, as we’ve figured out earlier. later entries will suggest they were recorded in close succession:
in trailhead, vinny's dialogue tells us that he had just sat down at the diner before pressing record, we're listening to his reaction to the zine and the girl in real time on a tape recorded in 1989. he talks about evan and jeff going dark on him, and ends by saying that he's going to find the girl to ask about the zine
in SHOPPING, vinny reiterates his current distress about feeling abandoned by those closest to him, obviously meaning evan and jeff again. he buys his groceries and ends by mentioning the 1989 phillies win (likely the june 8th game)
HOMELIFE is misplaced as entry 15, as the news report recorded on the tape is about hurricane hugo. this storm took place around september 1989.
if we assume the tapes are in order, this creates a discrepancy because in the next entry MOVIES, vinny sees pet sematary which came out in april 1989. shopping takes place around june 8th when the phillies won, and in movies vinny references back to the strangeness from "earlier this week", meaning the zine and the girl. thus, trailhead, shopping, and movies take place in the same week in june 1989 (and homelife, for some reason, is out of place. we can gloss over this though, i dont think it changes much)
So with that said, jeff must have died at some point in order for him to be present in the candleverse in 2010, pre-emh iteration. he could have died anywhere between 1989 to 1991, since we can't say for certain that his death was immediate, or even the direct cause of his absence.
so ev and jeff disappear around 1989. they may not have died immediately, only separated from vinnys life. in 1993, vinny dies and we know it must be around this time because he had been in contact with Davidson, whose law practice only just begun in 1993 (both versions of his death take place in the same time frame, per soft reset rules). in -.-., jeff talks about nineteen years going by. since this takes place in 2010, nineteen years prior would have been 1991. given that 1991 is written on the bookmark and made light of, and given all this concerns the iteration cycle, i think it'd be fair to say jeff died that year and entered the candleverse, two years before vinny bit the dust.
So, what about Evan?
evan was distanced from vinny around 1989 alongside jeff. vinny dies in 1993, and in one version of this event, its habit who kills him at fairmount. of course, habit was not using evans body to do so, instead apparently possessing doctor peters instead. that doesnt mean evan was out of the picture though, he simply wasnt what habit used in this particular instance to get at vinny and have him make the north star. this may be because habit was still ironing out the details of his grand scheme, with this particular method being a test of sorts. or, perhaps separately or in conjunction to this, habit planned to keep evan alive intentionally for whatever reason habit needed him for.
that reason, i conclude, would have been to get to corenthal. with jeff and vinny dead, and steph somewhere being irrelevant, habit and the other monsters all flocked to corenthal and plagued his life wherever he went. 3 deaths described in the microfilm collection, which contain news articles about corenthals activities from 1984 to 2005, match the MO for habit. the victims were described as all having been involved in an intense struggle with the assailant, one case "lasting a few hours, at minimum."
the articles in question are dated october 11th, 2002 and march 2nd, 2003
as far back as 1998, elizabeth was an active player as a psychic solving crimes through her special ability. as i said earlier, i had my doubts about her having been the offender to these crimes through habits actions. until 2005, elizabeth really is just a psychic, or at least she had been gifted her ability by one of the monsters for their own nefarious purposes. regardless though, she was not being controlled...yet. with that being the case, of course habit would have needed another vessel in the meantime.
on june 11th, 2005, elizabeth's place of business burns to the ground. on august 26th, corenthal had been set up by habit using elizabeth to lead him into a trap. we even know HOW habit did it: using elizabeth, s/he had contacted adam roberts. adam then relays the information to corenthal. according to house phone 2005, adam mentions the meeting a month prior to it occurring. thus, in july, elizabeth and adam decide to meet with corenthal in august and of course they do - except corenthal was lead to the wrong place.
corenthal encounters evan on a bench near the meeting place, a diner. This means evan is ALIVE at this point AND being possessed by habit, because in -.-. evan recalls being shot in the face. he recalls the confrontation that occurred, and he knows what year it took place and how long ago it happened relative to 2010, when -.-. was recorded. in true habit fashion, this encounter is brief as corenthal describes evan having been gone like he evaporated into thin air
corenthal gets to the diner and receives a call from elizabeth. this elizabeth is the real deal, and she calls to try and warn corenthal about having been set up. it was too late of course, and corenthal is ambushed by the patrons of the diner all possessed presumably by habit. corenthal struggles but manages to get out, heading towards baldpate now. he could hear sirens as he fled
at this point, elizabeth calls the house phone - now possessed by habit once more. habit mocks corenthal as elizabeth, "missed you at the diner, but you sure as hell bit it with me!", as if to imply corenthal intentionally skipped out on their meeting and had disappointed elizabeth in doing so. however, its pretty apparent the true intention is to mock him for falling for a trap. habit as elizabeth tells corenthal that s/he will see him at the park, obviously meaning balpdate to which corenthal would be currently fleeing to at the time of this call. we know this to be the order of events thanks to the inclusion of the siren detail and the order of habit/elizabeth and corenthals voicemail as they were recorded to the house phone.
we dont know what happened to elizabeth following this last bout of possession. it could be possible that habit brought her along to the park in addition to evan, given habit can and had just proven he could possess more than one body at a time and hop between them. however, i find it more likely that habit only confronted corenthal with evans body alone.
habit may have had company of a different sort, though. corenthal mentions that he felt like he was being watched, and his dialogue implies there being two distinct entities involved. the first, corenthal says, "knew it would end up like this", and corenthal says this shortly after mentioning evan from the bench again - therefore this is habit. the second entity corenthal describes as a "spectre" and the monster that took his children - Man, of course
whether man had any involvement with habit and corenthals confrontation is unknown, but we can at least say that he was around. corenthal and habit presumably have a fight, which for certain results in habit being shot in the face and corenthal ending up in the candleverse/eden
evans body dies there in 2005, leaving habit without him as a vessel in this plane of reality. with evan dead, the candleverse then had jeff and vinny and now evan. this aligns with what we see in -.-., the boys together while steph was nowhere to be seen. however, there is a five year gap between the events of 2005 and the candleverse conversation in 2010. this means steph was still alive, since the next iteration cannot begin until all four of them are in the candleverse...
Therefore, Steph had been alive since the Princeton iteration starting back in late 1987. the reason she lived so long? she never met vinny, evan, or jeff in the princeton iteration. or at least, she was distant enough from them to survive as long as she did. this reflects the nature of her role in that she does not have one, not like the boys do. she is different because she knew how to stay alive through ignorance. while we dont know the specifics of stephs relationship with man during the princeton timeline, it stands to reason that she was aware of him just like before during fairmount and after during the emh iteration. thus, her survival tactic of willful ignorance and aversion kept her alive for two decades.
Simply put, the Princeton iteration did not truly end until 2010, just before the beginning of the Everymanhybrid channel and its iteration cycle…
Making the Princeton era span a total of 23 YEARS. Jeff died in 1991, Vinny was next in 1993, Evan’s death is third in 2005, and around 2010, Steph perishes and the EMH Iteration begins.
Below I have written a more condensed timeline of events based on everything ive broken down here. There are a few details missing date-wise, but for our purposes we dont have to delve into them in order to understand with satisfying accuracy about what exactly happened in the years between 1987 and 2010.
DECEMBER, 1987: the princeton iteration begins.
BEFORE JUNE 8TH, 1989: jeff and evan disappear from vinnys life.
FIRST WEEK OF JUNE, 1989: vinny despairs over the loss of his friends in conjunction to the strange going ons of his life and a peculiar zine. trailhead, shopping, and movies all take place within this week.
AROUND 1991: jeff succumbs and appears in the candleverse.
BETWEEN 1989 AND 1993: tape 3 is recorded
DECEMBER 14TH, 1990: corenthal has a premonition about linnie heading off to find her siblings (noah release 1)
BETWEEN 1990 AND 1993: vinny encounters linnie (tape 3)
SOMETIME BEFORE OR AROUND 1993: vinny speaks to patrick andersen from mlandersen0 (tape 3).
AROUND 1993: vinny dies at fairmount, joining jeff in the candleverse. evan and steph remain alive at this time.
JULY 22ND AND JULY 23RD, 1995: corenthal encounters milo asher.
SOMETIME AFTER 1995: corenthal sends the piece of cloth found by milo’s house to his colleague adam roberts, who then creates the black box device.
BETWEEN 1989 AND 2002: evan is possessed by habit at some point, maybe as the reason for jeffs death in 1991, and go after corenthal alongside man and the rake.
OCTOBER 7TH, 1998: an article is published regarding elizabeth solving her first case.
BETWEEN OCTOBER 1998 AND JUNE 2005: corenthal discovers elizabeth and writes to adam roberts to listen for her name on the news, claiming she can help
MARCH 22ND AND JUNE 11TH, 1999: elizabeth solves two more cases.
OCTOBER 11TH 2002 AND MARCH 2ND, 2003: habits MO is apparent in three deaths following the appearance of corenthal at the homes of two families.
AROUND 2002 :elizabeth starts teaching classes at bucks county community college.
ON JUNE 11th 2005: an article is published regarding elizabeths place of business burning down
JULY, 2005: elizabeth is possessed by habit and using her body, s/he contacts adam roberts to arrange a meeting with corenthal in august. soon after speaking to a possessed elizabeth, adam roberts leaves a voicemail for corenthal telling him of the meeting.
AROUND AUGUST 26th 2005: corenthal heads out to his presumed meeting with roberts and elizabeth - only to find out he has been set up by elizabeth (habit). he sees evan, whose body is still alive at this time. habit has control over evan, and ultimately he and corenthal have a confrontation at baldpate. corenthal shoots him, killing evans body but not habit, and corenthal ends up in the candleverse/eden
AUGUST 2005: evan dies, joining vinny and jeff. This makes steph the sole survivor for the time being.
2010, PRE-EMH: evan jeff and vinny meet around a cluster of candles as seen in the video -.-.. evans dialogue suggests that while he had died in 2005, it hadnt been until 5 years later in 2010 that he has been able to meet up with jeff and vinny together properly since his death. further dialogue in -.-. suggests that steph is still missing from their group. presumably this means she hadnt been killed yet. jeff remarks about having no idea they were even looking for her, which falls in line with the idea that steph was not around the boys much if at all during their time alive in princeton, further solidified by her...well, lack of existence in the tapes.
BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010: before the start of the emh iteration but after evan died and came to the candleverse, evan and jeff work together making trips to a powerline in order to have a chance at making contact with the outside world (as in, us the audience).
this results in the phantom tweet telling us to stop watching, which appears in 2011. vin is of course dead at this point too, but its apparent that meeting up is risky and kept to a minimum. it may not be intentional that vin isnt present here, but jeff and ev WOULD have good reason for excluding vinny from this particular plan of theirs, given that vinny is the cog that powers the emh iteration (and a lot of what happens before too, frankly). perhaps they couldnt trust him, which would make sense since at this point, ev and jeffs recent memories of vinny would be from the princeton era and fairmount + whatever glimpses they get when they bump into one another in the candleverse. vin's involvement with their plan could cause a hinderance, and they wouldnt want that to happen
also note that jeff and evans powerline plan is also something corenthal is closely involved in, at least as shown in the day the world ended (2018). i dont think its too much of a stretch to imagine he was also involved in coming up with the plan years prior, between 2005 and 2010. this further highlights vinny's absence in the general affairs of the candleverse, despite the fact that he had been around since 1993. again, theres credence to believe he was intentionally excluded by jeff, evan, and corenthal
AROUND 2010: steph dies and rejoins the boys, and with all four now in the candleverse, the princeton iteration finally comes to an end.
MARCH 21st, 2010: the everymanhybrid channel uploads their first video - marking the beginning of the emh iteration
MARCH 17TH, 2011: the unsigned phantom tweet sent out by Jeff and Evan from the powerline tower in baldpate finally surfaces
STATS:
FAIRMOUNT: 1971 to 1981 (10 years) PRINCETON: 1987 to 2010 (23 years) EVERYMANHYBRID: 2010 to 2018 (8 years)
Steph lived the entire 23 year period for the Princeton era. Evan lived 18 years. Vinny lived 6 years. Jeff lived 4 years.
Jeff spent the longest amount of time in the candleverse post-Princeton at 19 years. Vinny spent a total of 17 years. Evan spent 5 years. Steph spent less than a year.

read the transcripts for the princeton tapes because i dont have two hours to spare, and uhhh the implication that corenthal murdered the fairmount versions of vinny, evan, jeff, and steph is Upsetting
also someone said that there’s no way princeton evan didn’t have a mullet since it was the 80s and Yeah Probably

Why is everyone fucking Fairmount 😭😭😭
(I'm not complaining)
Can we get something wholesome tho? Maybe with him drawing stuff? It would be interesting if he taught some of the other habits how to draw or something like that. 🥺
Fairmount's Art Class
Features: Fairmount, Stephbit Warnings: None
“Okay, so, I love the energy Steph, but could you maybe… Not stab through your sketchbook?”
“Nah, I like stabbing it. It’s my artistic process.”
Fairmount took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. He’d been attempting to get Stephbit into drawing with him so that maybe, just maybe, she’d be more interested in creating her own art instead of going through all his stuff and posting it online.
It wasn’t going well.
“Okay, how about… How about you draw yourself, yeah? That would be fun, right?”
Stephbit rolled her eyes, shrugging. “Why would I draw myself? I already know what I look like.”
“Humor me.”
“You’re stupid.” Fairmount was about to bark back at her, but he stopped himself when he saw she actually was starting to draw rather than stab her sketchbook now. Progress!
Well, until he saw what she was drawing.
“Hey, what the fuck!?”
“What? You wanted me to draw myself.” “Yeah but not pushing me off a cliff!” “You didn’t specify that!”
Fairmount huffed, shaking his head. Still… Her art wasn’t awful. It wasn’t streamlined like his, and it wasn’t wildly disturbed like Centralia’s. It was kinda cute.
It was kinda familiar.
Too familiar.
“Are you- Are you drawing anime?”
“What- No!”
Fairmount wheezed, breaking into a huge, stupid grin. “You are! You’re a fucking weeb!”
“Yeah, well you like cowboys!” “You’re a weeb! You’re a weeb!” “Shut up!”

hmmmm....... i have . conflicting feelings on shipping the emh boys. i guess this talk gets a little weird so im gonna put a readmore?
at first i thought it was cute, like, early on in the series. but then i learned about the fairmount iteration, and then i was like... okay this is not what i thought it was but, well, they aren't adoptive siblings anymore, it's like a reincarnation or something, so i could rationalize it as not being Like That. it's just a personal connection that transcends lifetimes. but... then we see that in the candleverse they still very much see corenthal as their father and by connection would see each other as siblings still?
i'm also very weirded out by evan's relationship with steph because of this. that meme post about corenthal finding out about their baby makes me intensely uncomfortable because it's an incest joke . i know people tend not to take adoptive siblings as seriously in these situations but it is still very much a problem and as someone who is adopted and has adoptive siblings i'm...... eeegh yuck. i don't like it. they're still brothers through it all so....... agh.
i still have stuff in my ship tag for them from before and i ...... do not feel good about it ill probably purge it? i think i'd like people to tag this content as something so i can blacklist it. visi dont look or something is fine idk
