this is way harder than i thought it would be

good fucking LORD i can't classpect this man for SHIT

i have a few ideas lined up for other slenderverse girlies. i was able to read vinnie as a potential prince almost instantly and have a half decent read for jeff as a knight of life. somehow i even got a half-assed, yet still okay feeling heir of time read for noah fucking maxwell. but evan's read continuously eludes me. i'd call him a voidbound if my gut reaction was that that was off somehow

jesus he's hard to nail down. maybe he IS void but there are other things to him that either contradict it (at least contradict my headcanon for the aspect and its themes since classpecting is like. at least 50% headcanon anyways) or it just feels wrong somehow. like i can't explain it, it just feels inaccurate somehow and that i'm missing something to it.

idk. maybe i'm overthinking it and if i give EMH another rewatch just to get a better read on evan, it'll blindside me as some sort of occam's razor bullshit

actual evidence i'm using

i want to take a sec to list what i'm considering for this:

• personality, how is he like
• how he reacts to stress
• circumstance and what narrative significance it holds in his life
• what the circumstance is specifically and his reaction
• link to HABIT and what that indicates
• his role as the firebrand as dictated by the edited play in box five

my issue is that these all say different things to me and i can't tell if it's trait mixing or if it's just genuinely that spastic

his reaction to stress and tendency towards violence could indicate rage, or it could be a class trait like what the EVERYMAN play kind of suggests

however his role in the iteration cycle* and seeming fate of being inHABITed could be one of two things (or both) to me: either a maid, trapped by his circumstance (though again, that could be the cycle itself), or a heartbound. the direct link to HABIT with his fairmount iteration sharing a name and similar ultraviolent tendencies feels similar to dirk strider's splintering, in a way.

again, i could just be thinking about this too hard or misremembering details. still worth a re-rewatch if i want to make more serious attempts at this.

* = the iteration cycles as a concept are INSANELY doom and time coded when viewed through the lens of the aspect wheel. like it's to the point where i have to REALLY think about whether or not the cycles have a part in that specific thing, because the aspect coding alone could pollute my conclusion and lead me to the wrong one
