hi isa i may or may not be getting into emh 😳 so please tell me abt the emh version of ur s/i ash (i esp want to know abt your canon divergence because i love jeff and he deserves to live) (fawnships)

@fawnships you’re back!!! good choice with jeff he’s a good dude who deserves love!

anyway. the second version of ash is sort of a s/i for the slenderverse as a whole (meaning they also exist within t12 and, well, basically every other slenderman series besides mh). they are pretty similar in personality to the mh version of themself, except they are a lot more openly The Shane Madej Of The Slenderverse. it’s less that they think the slenderman isn’t real so much as it is that they’re not convinced he has any power other than Standing There Menacingly so they do kind of ill-advised things in investigating him.

their whole...story is dangerously close to just making an actual slenderseries. the way i kind of conceive of their story overlapping with emh is that over the course of their own slenderman investigations in oklahoma (theirs is based off an actual local legend in my hometown of a tall, well-dressed ghost haunting the cemetery but that’s a different can of worms entirely) they encounter the hybrids sort of the same way noah maxwell did, by receiving one of the pieces of HABIT’s puzzles and having to travel to new jersey to meet up with the hybrids sometime after the events of “damsel” (so they meet both evan and steph). from then on they keep in touch via social media and email and it all kind of grows from there.

i’m not sure of the specifics of the canon divergence, but things kind of break away from the canon timeline after “a vinny/hybrid christmas” because that’s the last time everyone is really safe and happy (the shit extremely pops off in the next episode). basically, tl;dr in my divergence vinny gets his goddamn head between his ears, realizes “oh god answers aren’t worth this”, and the hybrids as a whole start kind of operating in a very mh “always moving, never staying in the same location for too long” way because it seems like that’s a time-tested way to keep Bastards off your back at least for a little bit. it works well enough to keep everyone alive at least.
