0. BACKGROUND
- CHNT files exist as evidence for a celestial trial from the agents
- THE LIMN is where camp exists, seemingly a bubble formed around sydney where time and space are distorted.
* the limn impacts memories
- per agent knowledge, camp takes place at site 2 (ranked in most relation to the resurrection/the Limn) and the characters are ranked as entities most thought to be in relation to the limn
- episode 1 takes place approximately 2 and just over a half years after the resurrection (952 days)
- Anomalies are pockets of unreality within the existence of āearthā, seemingly ranked in correlation of proximity to camp (anomaly1 being the bonfire⦠etc)
- there are two KNOWN types of magic discussed (cthonic and celestial) (cthonic being necromancy, occult and metaphysical, celestial being āheavenlyā, time and space)
- NOTE: Elijah has cthonic abilities
- Jedidiah APPEARS to have celestial
relations- likely clock of meantime related.
- Matthew is unknown to be an anomaly, human, or aptitude of some kind
- agents exist on a train (implied in file, semi confirmed), which navigates through space and time. agents appear to be celestial guardians responsible for keeping order and preventing universe death
- āin-betweenā announcement song is heavily train themed,
- the agents are connected to the sanatorium, thought to receive the cassette tapes through this method
- Tony 1 & Tony 2 are the only canon agents we know of currently (agents 15+16)
- Agents appear not to be overly affected by the magic system (not affected in FILE16 + FILE32)
- sun, moon and sky (known celestial bodies) ARE impacted by magic
- AGENT23 Names the files, Agent1 appears to be overseeing the nature of the ātrialā. Agents appear to be numbered in correlation to the trial
1. schrƶdingerās Sydney
Of Note:
Sydney struggled with hallucinations which went away seemingly after his resurrection (FILE 3) Sydney also lost the ability to astral project post res. his soul is tied down to his body
Sydney has a natural interest in the cthonic, participating in magic and rituals pre-resurrection (FILE 28, FILE 33)
particular emphasis on the fact sydney is safe in camp, he canāt be hurt in camp. leaving camp grounds results in hypoxia (FILE 6)
Sydney mentions his death, seemingly unknowingly, very frequently. Examples include; file 1ā> āMost Likely To Get Killed As Consequence Of Reckless Thirst For Forbidden Knowledgeā, file 6ā> āLike, am I immortal? Am I already dead?ā, the infamous file 14ā> āive always wanted to be killed by something that loved meā, file 16 ->sydneys childhood dreams, file 23-> ābeing a bit paranoid is better than rotting aliveā, ānecromancy is pointless.. without death you cant liveā, file 25-> āconstantly tired, constantly afraid, not even allowed to dieā when referring to the fox-hunt
Theory: Sydneyās death was via drowning
Sydney is connected to the unknowable shape in the lake (like the journals, anything connected to sydneys death and resurrection seem to impact reality itself to hide it)
Up And Adam reminds Syndey and meets with Sydney in bodies of water. Adam is known to be interested in tormenting Sydney based off his memories
Sorenās rabbit was disposed of in the lake
The lake is associated with decomposition (file 13)
Sydney has always been afraid of the water (file 17)
abandoning a child in a lake huh? thats what motherhood means to you?(file 18)
thoughts: sydneys primary symptoms out of the camp is struggling to breathe (hypoxia)- typically related to drowning. the limn is known to reconstruct/mess with memories to keep its nature hidden, including masking how sydney died. i believe sydneys fear of the water stems not from childhood but from his death. as well, the unknowable object in the lake appears related to sydney
2. who is Lucille
lucille has a large association with fire, including the bon fire and her flame thrower
lucille, sydney and sorren are the only ones to step foot on the death fields (file 4)
lucille lived on camp before sydney (file 34), but the origins of camp are unknown
lucilleās appears to know everything at camp, similar to sydney
with lucilles presence at the camp all year around, just like sydney, and seemingly no mentions of her leaving the camp even for small periods of time,
as we infer Sydneyās soul is connected to the lake, Lucilleās is possibly connected to the bon fire. with her fire imagery and puppet imagery, and the fact she knows everything occurring within camp always, just like sydney when he speaks with the bonfire, i theorize the bonfire is tied to Lucille in some aspect
3. Jedidiahās Project
the timeline at chnt goes
- Jedidiah has been distant for 6 years ish, Sydney died before becoming a camp counsellor (file 34), there were 4 months where sydney was in the hospital (approx hospitalized june/july?), sydney was resurrected 2.6 years ago since the first episode. jedidiah has been working on his new project for the last year and a half
Jedidiah does not remember how he resurrected Sydney, his memories were contained to his journal
Jedidiah has agent connections, through his clocks, through the tonies and potentially lucille..?
Jedidiahs project is likely black market/illegal, with the fairymarket sigil (file 8). āif you found out what I was working on, youād die a horrible deathā (File 34)
my theory: what jedidiah is working on is likely related to health, life force and energy and necromancy. we know jedidiah was investigating magic for the sake of Sydneyās health pre-resurrection, so why would he stop after sydney has been brought back? what do you do when a machine stops working? you turn it off and on again. my theory is what hes doing is finding a method to cure sydney, to take care of him fully and mold his body into something free of his chronic illness- whether that requires killing him to start over, or not
ANYWAYS THATS ALL FOR NOW!!!
HAPPY CHNT Season 2 soonā¦ā¦ā¦..
