nickis house there is no nicky in hn2
Why
Ohhhh I thought They Meant Mr. Petersons House
What
Well this is the lore discussion chat
I’m speaking the truth
theres lore in this game wtf
(there always was)
hn2 is gonna be a bit more violent tho but yeah not rlly horror
when you get caught by the neighbour it isnt even scary all he does is grab you
it doesnt turn around the camera that fast so you know its coming
they made it faster
oh
now it doesn't take a full second
W
alr if you think that this thread is for you #1018205065560985712
very lore
Well this is the lore discussion chat
explain the lore behind the invisible boxes @tribal talon
Explain the placeholder sosed bed too
Guys, it's just a theory, but do you think the one in the neighbor's basement is aaron?
Wdym the one ?
nothing, just aaron is the kid in theodor’s basement?
But before that Aaron was in the Basement
Yea
This is a undisputable fact
ooh
Book 3, Buried Secrets, confirms it
Confirms he was in the basement?
After the cops show up in the HN2 intro Aaron is now most likely in the Museum
Yeah, I remember Nicky finding Aaron before the ending of that book
because theodor was afraid of losing his only family, right?
Yeah
Sure, Mr.Peterson thought Aaron was a curse
But still Aaron's family
and after loosing his Wife and Daughter
Mr.Peterson didn't want to loose another family member
aaron is dead?
Unconfirmed
It's implied Aaron was the one who burned down Mr.Peterson's house
Meaning Aaron could've potentially died in that fire
sure.
you havent played the demo have you
the neighbor catches you in sonic speed
Wait what!Aaron dont die!
so he is a adult?
We really don't know what happens to him after HN2
I think Quentin prob helped Aaron escape the attic
I also think Aaron left Raven Brooks
you see, Nicky is still a kid. So we assume Aaron is also a kid
but in HN1 Nicky was an adult
and at this point, not only are the children not missing anymore, but the Peterson house is completely gone
aah
wait hold up. @drowsy void why do i have you in my friend list
idk, you just asked me to add
||🌝 ||
Lore talking lore talking lore talking lore talking
Even more lore talking
Lore talking
Lots of lore talking
He didn't leave RB?
@tribal talon yes but timeloops are a thing
and maybe they changed something
@silver vine yo can you help me?
@tribal talon i mean they look almost identical
and his full name is ike quentin cornelius geroshwitz
They really don't
ok then look at the card you see in hello guest
Old design
the hello guest quentin just has different clothes
@tribal talon or maybe they changed the lore again like they did in hello neighbor 1
I don't think time loops revive dead people
because nicky was orignaly supposed to be the neighbor son
@tribal talon and the prototype quentin looks more like ike so it makes sense that they changed the lore
quentin was never planned to be ike but ike was meant to be quentin before they changed quentin's character
ike is meant to be the old hg quentin
norman is meant to be the new hn2 quentin
however they aren't really the same in the game universe because the games hate book lore !
ok then my theory that the prototype quentin is ike was right
No
the prototype one
no it wasn;t
prototype quentin is just hg quentin
book writers tried to tie hg quentin to ike
it was never like that in the games though
in the games he's always just been quentin
kinda werid
Kinda like how the Guest isn't a Forest Protector
mr petoerson is an enmy of the forest protectors
Yes
not really the same thing
i'm pretty sure forest protectors were never meant to be related to the guest
Feels like they were meant to be connected
if they were meant to be then the book writers must have really been left in the dark in terms of the story
because the guest is the same in hg as he is in hn2
and gn2 and reset day
Maybe they saw some early concept art of the Guest and, not knowing he was meant to be Mr.Peterson at the time, invented the Forest Protectors
that's just weird
why would the book writers have almost no communication with the devs about what these things were
When was the listing for Bad Blood first seen again?, I forgot but I also need to know so I can make a explanation here
Yesterday
Like if the listing was from before HGP then maybe the concept of the Guest was not fully finished so the book writers tried their best to take what was finished and fill in the gaps
hgp was at the start of 2019
bad blood was at least released at the start of 2020
which means it was just after the den
If I remember right it was released near the end of 2019
Omg den..
Sounds right to me
It'd take a few months for them to write the book, so Book 4 was started before the Den was invented, but after HGP
Why do you have 24 in your name?
I'd say it started being written in like, September
that's some very quick book writing
i feel like it'd take a bit longer but i don't know anything about making books
no
No one knows
Maybe August to give them some more time to write it
July..
That's redacted information that I will not say again
Why
I dunno, just don't wanna say it again
Why
Anyways
he's 24 years old
Maybe...
Anyways lore
Do you think the odd trapdoor in HG is connected to the tunnels the Forest Protectors use
Or are those meant to be seperate
i don't think so
Oldest Hello Neighbor Fan
I mean we don't know much about what the Trapdoors in HG were meant to be so it could go either way
All we have for the HG trapdoors is one found in HGA1 and one in a piece of concept art
Also heard about one in HN2A1 but I can't find it
There's so many things from 2020 HN2 we'll never find the answer to😔
@tribal talon yes kinda sad it was so mysterios and cool and had this cool artstyle and atmosphere but then they changed the concept
Ye
@tribal talon it dint look that clean like it does now
and i liked the old cursor more
They changed the artstyle and now every new artstyle fan makes fun of the people that prefer any old artsyle thing over new artstyle things
yes
but i donnt understand why they changed the artstyle
Me too the new cursor looks like smth from a mobile game
the artstyle was at its peek in alpha hello guest and hello neighbor alpha 2
It's simply because a more clean artstyle fits Raven Brooks more than a dirty artstyle
(Dirty as in it had a lot of dirt btw)
maybe the artstyle will change at the end of the game
Nah
because alpha 1 will still be a part of the game its confirmed and it looks like in the traier
It won't
I will no longer elaborate.
and i think the game will get darker from chapter to chapzer
but the new artstyle is nice too
Ye
But I like the vibe the old artstyle had
2020 HN2 was pretty mysterious
And I liked that
me too
yes totally
Too bad they changed the artstyle and the story got rewritten by new writers
ok do you think beatrix will be playable in hn 2 because shes still in the gamefiles
You /srs or /j?
||Leaks: No||
||(For context they did a oopsie and left pretty much the entire game in the Demo's files, Beatrix was not in there)||
j
||The ending tho||
They hyped up so many characters and did nothing with them
even if they changed some things, Ike is Neighbor's best friend, and he knows all his secrets, he is a security guard, not a journalist, there is no reason for him to break into his house
Let's not forgor that the Ike is dead
i have a question about the guest is he a supernatural creature that possesed the neighbor or is he just a custom
i know the books are canon but idk if the graphic novels are
they are
both from the looks of it
||the guest is a metaphor for loss or something just like how the thing from hn1 is a representation of fear however unlike the thing in hn1 the guest in hn2 is a real entity||
- Randomuser, 2022
it seems to feed on loss
that kinda destroys the realism of the games like the weather maschine and the timeloopes
Guest when the:
and the books have
Forest Protectors
ik
Future Predicting Journalists
ive read ever book
Luck Devices
and Mr.Peterson's eyes changing color after a funhouse collapses on him
(event in GN1)
they could pull a twist and the town has been in a time loop the entire time and it has just been getting worse each loop
coulndt the beginning of the beta when the guest catches quentin and glows be a timeloop
Guys I have new lore, after exploring the clubhouse in Hello Engineer very much, I can confidently say...Lucy yi DIED in the park
😱
The graphic artist during a Reddit QNA confirmed the red eyes were a stylistic choice
And not lore relevant
it would explain the cycle not being broken or more will go missing if the loop does not stop
@strange lance we knew that before
Ok
Missing Journalist:
(He had no known lore importance other then being missing)
Normen derby does exist
maybe after Nicky failed he tried stopping it himself
@wild ore and is bassicly a quentin copy
That QNA was still rlly cool
Had a lot of good questions answered
could link it please
That was a joke, cause they keep on trying to shove the fact she died everywhere
And they did that in HE
They focus so much on Lucy Yi’s death but ignore the 5 other cases of Ted’s rides killing kids
for people that don't read books..
Like cmon
We all know Lucy Yi but there were also
The 4 people who drowned in a water log ride he designed in the Germany park, and Joe from Bosco Bay being launched from his seat while testing a ride bc Ted made the turn too sharp
hmm what happens if i put the neighbor in the backrooms
then all of this would not happen
right?
||also HN2||
my old theory...
great now im not clicking any spoiler tags from there
theory what happens if arron dies in HN2
nibor sad
neighbor sad and flood town
with funny machine
how would he flood the town
read graphic novel 2
with this
bruhhhh
funny thing that cause storms
it takesplace after
tell me the timeline then since your the Lore Master
In HN2 guest and Ted are seen as separate entites, in Gn2 guest posseses Ted at the end so now they are one
There you go
Mr Peterson doesnt care about his son possibly dead
its exactly 00:00 for me
unlike in hn2 where he keeps an attic locked with possibly his son
(pls dont kill me those from #old-spoilers)
this is before is son died
then how come is he alone and flooding down a whole town without even mentionning his son
that isnt really a spoiler tbh
where else would Aaron be
no i just hoped if im wrong about this you wont tell me
you are right tho
look at all the rich lore
lore rich
he
well its very likely to be true
wdym?
i mean, isnt this guys only purpose is to protect his family?
yes
if he still has a son alive, he wouldnt need to do anything else
lmao
what does this even mean
I wonder if HE's lore will actually lead to anything, like the sentient mannequins, Ted trying to bring back his family/other people. The time travel pits in the park in HE was explained in Reset Days o that's good
i mean with those mannequins and his drones, he could build a whole army
It leads to Hello Neighbor 9999
it means the museum go boom
where do you even get that
myself
no
baseless theory then
no need to argue with smth like that
I still hate the Neighbor
it means the guy is insane
where was time travel pits even mentioned in reset day?
want arron to die yeah i want that to happen
but he sadly abandoned them and left to the museum
whyyy
true true
cuz then why would he be Ted be evil
What
what?
trying to flood the town
Ted is evil cuz he's a jerk
what does it have to do with aaron
make mayak happen
cuz why would he flood the town unless he wants ravage
its literally Ted, not aaron
The Neighbor is a weird Neighbor nowadays
wait so you are telling me this guy is aaron? Man youve gone insane
he wants ravage on the town cuz the guest is in the town and killed arron
can you get it
he wants to get revenge on the town, cuz the town literally made him lose everything he had
Oh god half the messages are gone
can somebody ban me
t actually send something and stop typing just to stop immedaly after
No
im bored
Revive
literally did not have to click the thing to see
you arent gonna troll a lot of ppl with that
anyways what was Arrquentin going to say
srsly tho, me gone
is the neighbor stilll alive in hn 1
yes
you sure ?
uhm
Depends on how you see the events of GN2 and the timeline
Reset day: Construction guy falls into a big pit that just appears at the beginning while doing construction at the park and disappears
HE: Pits on the road appearing out of nowhere with time travel stuff written around them with chalk with the level being titled "the pit experiment"
Ted's doing time travel stuff in the ground
can you send a pic of one of those pits?
sure
If Ted drowns before the Guest possesses him and GN2 is pre-2017 then yes
If either Ted isn't dead when he gets possessed or GN2 is after 2017 then no
I highly doubt the neighbor actually drowned and died in GN2
he was prob knocked unconcious
me when I'm being chocked underwater as I'm trying to breathe but only lots of water comes in my lungs (I just go sleepy)
true
time travel pits
Ted dies because the water doesn't leave his lungs (Guest doesn't need to breathe) and no one is able to get it out (Peterson goes missing during the fire)
they cant just kill off the titular character in a not a well known book
nice
this is also written right beside it, which is basically the formula for time travel
The fire?
They can... IF they get possessed allowing them to still technically use the character in later entries
I thought the Weather Station caught on fire in the GN2 Ending
hes just trapped somewhere deep within him
I doubt hes completely gone
he's also using the mannequins for the experiments, that's why there's a unbelievable amount of them everywhere
maybe hes trying to bring back his family
Alpha Lore sneaking it's way into the final lore:
Ted becoming the inventor of time travel 
but it would be shocking
I mean...
Aren't time loops technically time travel
and if you have the ring things...
alpha 3 lore the lore from the prototype until alpha 1 was the lore where the play was in a coma and the neighbor was satanistic
I think I understand why Ted was testing time travel
If he could go to the Past...
He could prevent Diane and Mya's deaths
But he gave up on that idea
I don't remember where but there was a chalk drawing by Ted of 1 tall figure and 2 smaller ones with the time travel formulas around it
so yeah he wants to go back and save them
Hence why in GN2 he says "... I used to want to change the past, but you can't, can you?..."
(The ...'s are because there's more to the quote that I cut out)
nein
he was getting close
He was THIS close
but I think if he did succeed the situation would probably get worse
but he gave up right at the end
the entirety of RB could be consumed by the pits
The Timeline would corrupt
Wait... prehaps why Ted gave up is that he did try... and that is why in HNHS Diane dies in April and Mya dies in May but in the books they both die in August
He tried to change the past... to save his family... but you can't can you?... they were doomed to die no matter what he did... all he could do now is build a new future...
This would also explain the 1996-1997 debate for Act 1
and the reason for Act 3 being 19 years after Act 1 with the 1997 date is that Act 3 is in January/February 2017
when did the Aaron trilogy take place, like what year/years
this is important I must know
(The Kilm Cartons both imply March)
1991-1992 if I remember correctly
and Lucy died in those books right
does anybody now in which country raven brooks is
You never know until the Devs deny/confirm it
Lucy has Tamagotchi, these were released in..1996 of November..
USA
how does she have one 🤨
Missouri
Anything specifically proving it belongs to Lucy Yi other then happening to be there?
For all we know it could belong to Maritza or smth
Also you can't judge Tech in HN by when it was made
I mean
That is her memorial, it has her bracelet and everything.
Technology is weird in HN
true, Maritza has a Nintendo switch in the main menu
So what's preventing Raven Brooks from coming up with the idea that'd become a Tamagotchi Pre-Summer 1992
And the rest of the world wouldn't know because Raven brooks is seperated from the rest of the USA
With their own knock off apps
Phones (I-Fruit anyone?)
Doesn't that only happen in Rest day though
that's when they're completely shut off
Movies
even the fricking 8-Ball
maybe even a fricking knock-off Nintendo Switch in 1996-1997
So yeah
I have my theory that the city in the background of the HN1 and HN2 map is Kansas City
No one who hasn't lived in RB before moving there in the franchise don't even know the town exists
Despite being the birth place of a famous theme park designer
because kansas city is on the river, and Raven Brooks has small rivers and a lake flowing through it
(Or maybe not birthplace but home town)
and big corporations are giving their attention/have given their attention there
(Earthpro for instance)
I wish they had kept the whole hidden dirt road entrance in Hn2 that was in the E3 trailer, made it look like it's not supposed to be seen and it's just some forest, Quentin even looks confused when he looks at it and back at the map. Now it's just some normal road
the other big city in missouri is st. louis but that has a big arch building that the background city in HN doesn't have
Also this idea could also explain why in Book 1 Lucy Yi dies 2 weeks after the GAAP opens, but in Book 4 it's the same day, or the "The Red Key Will Set You Free. Trust Narf." thing
yeah
That is painful that they did that
Heck, this could even explain AS Ep. 2 away
and would explain the "Mayak will explain everything" without Mayak being in HN2
(||because it's not in the leaks||)
I think I could've fricking solved away what they meant oh so long ago by the whole "It's that way because of Mayak" thing
But maybe I'm just being stupid
I'll let you guys decide on that
The Forest Protector cult people chose the coolest place to do rituals
They really did
Or we because technically Mouse helped me get on the line of thinking that led me to my thoughts that I think could've solved it
Lets talk about the lore of Ted being a freaking cheapskate, seats and attractions made out of freaking cardboard
surprisingly they have proper collision
Somehow
maybe use Copper and actual Wool Seats like in the HN2 model
(I'm pretty sure it's copper in HN2)
Ted is so cheap in HE, half of his rides are rotting wood and cardboard, and some games use toilet rolls as props
Wack-A-Mole model Flashbacks
Who makes moles out of toliet paper
like why
(I meant toliet paper rolls)
he put so much effort into the park don't hate on him😡
(not)
g
in the hello neighbor animated series full pilot, we learn the names of the detective (Zoe), the brave (Maritza) and the leader (Trinity), but does anyone else have canon names?
This is the full 22-minute pilot of the Hello Neighbor Animated Series. Join our Youtube Club for behind the scenes updates! Make sure to checkout Hello Neighbor 2 at https://HelloNeighbor2.com
#neighbor #HelloNeighbor
go to 4:52
(Where we also learn the HN1 Player Character is named Nicky, the Neighbor is named Theodore Peterson his wife is named Diane, Neighbor's son is named Aaron, and Neighbor's daughter is named Mya)
The Cops in HN2 are named D. Leslie (tall one) and Keith F. Newsoms Nielsen (the other one)
The Baker is named Gerda
The Guy with the Gun is named Mr. Otto
The HN2 Player Character is named Quentin
The Hello Guest Girl Player Character is named Beatrix
Oh
Inventor could maybe be named Jimmy
(if imdB is to be believed)
and the other characters (Scout and Bagger) currently have no official name
Tho in Aaron books there are 2 characters that could potentially be Bagger named Seth and Ruben
Hold up I thought those guys were too stupid to care
I mean either of them could POTENTIALLY be Bagger
but there's no confirmation on that
so Bagger could be someone else entirely
Okay
i have evidence that the detective is named zoe
Well, whatever that evidence is, it’s wrong
Also AS Pilot:
The other names are Brave and Leader
(Maritza and Trinity)
So who is "En..." if not Detective (Enzo)
what is the 'other location' that ted is looking for in his big crazy person bulletin board?
You're evidence is flawed by the thing you got it from
is he looking for a location to camp out in just in case the police come?
No clue
Bosco Bay? Maybe Ferweh Welt? Idk
The Map is of Raven Brooks
Bosco Bay and Ferhen Welt are outside of Raven Brooks
Prehaps it could be where the Museum is
*was
Or smth
I'm guessing Ted is looking for a location that he can hide in in case the police come
Maybe it's where the Den was
We gotta remember AS Pilot is from the HG days
So it could be the Den
Yknow that map of raven brooks? The one as a footnote on the game guide? Why is the map so different in HN2, has the town really changed that much?
yes
(Sorry if there’s an obvious answer to this question, I missed Hg)
But they DID keep a Barn and the Raven Brooks Banner near Friendly Court
But yeah the Map of Raven Brooks is a odd thing
It's both
Oh wow
I wonder why they're always changing the map
It's Channel 4 News, but with the Banner as it's name
Like
HN1 Map is different (slightly) from the SN Map
HG/HN1/HNHS map is different from the Guidebook Map
HN2A1 map is different from any of those
Same with HN2A1.5
Same with NeighborArea (Alpha 2)
Same with Beta
Same with Demo
||Same with FG||
Same with Hello Engineer
Same with AS
I was hoping for the Llama farm in HN2
the guidebook has a map?
A cringe one, but yes it does
what isn't cringe about it
true
when GAAP is next to ted's house
Why is “Neighbor’s house” the only one marked? THERE ARE TONS OF HOUSES ON THAT STREET.
Only important one I guess
There's a page where Ted has his arm wrapped around Aaron, but it looks awful
please show it
The frick is that image
a render and a elena drawing in one
He is literally edited into all these photos what
that is from a official render
Also pretty sure on one of the early pages there is a "Newspaper" where they just loaded a animation from HN1 Alpha 1 then took a Screenshot
For the Cover image
of the News Article
Yep
At least use different renders I swear to god
Don’t forget that in the guidebook that the Neighbor’s “house layout”
Is a butchered version of the Prototype House layout with puzzles and rooms that DONT EXIST!
Damn they really only thought that one render exists
Yeah I was trying to find the “Coffin” in the basement
I forgot about that
this is why I don't trust the Guidebook one bit
other then officially confirmed info they put into the Guidebook
Imma go do smth
brb
Bye
could you post the layout?
Ok
My book kinda just disappeared
I really liked the idea of the endless basement, with the cut off areas
made it creepy
????
Love how they completely forgot the generator, and the window placement for the fake room, and the bathroom,
They didn’t even do a second floor
They took the first floor and put post it notes on it
And the first floor ain’t even right
How did they mess up so badly
There was one before at one point
There’s
There’s no hidden room accessible by “ a few keys”, there is no second floor staircase to nowhere,
Also there are plot holes in the construction of these maps
isn't it funny that tinybuild put the prototype house layout in a book instead of giving it to the fans
No, because it isn’t even the right layout
Not even the correct prototype house layout
They removed most of the walls and added a couple to make giant rooms
The staircase isn’t even in the right place
Like how does Nicky have enough time to write THE WHOLE BASEMENT, but gets caught so many times???
I'd think that if Nicky got caught once in the basement then Ted would lock him up with Aaron immediately
Like, “Aaron, I know where you are, but I’m just gonna spend like an hour building this useless fake map”
💀
Wait, did they seriously remove the page for the first floor?
I have a friend who got the guidebook right when it came out and I recall them sending me a pic of the first floor
The prototype layout but the walls are messed up, had labels for an elevator, a fake wall,
Give me a bit I think I have a image of the "First Floor Layout" on me
But if I don't then that's ok
how would it be that hard to recreate the actual game house layout
other than in act 3
that would be a nightmare
yeah
Alright I don't have a image of it
omg lore
enzo and trinity chopped down that tree
k i s s i n g
💀
Me when the
is that really lore we already knew
Wth
Aw hell nah I'm imagining it now
Help
HAHA
oh god now its going on to meeee noooooooo
hm
i mean
i could be wrong but i don’t think so?
if i’m wrong please correct me
Everything about SN is imagination, except for the lobby area and some skins
and also the ending area of the rocket event
Not to sure about the trophies you earn, they are in the lobby but the events clearly don't happen irl
I’d say the trophies aren’t canon
I treat the descriptions as canon but maybe not the actual trophies
(with the exception of the Rocket, MitH's Hat, and the Lucy Yi event ones)
So basically all of them are
except for the Mini Weather Station
Ok I stopped imagining it now
after like an hour???????
oop
im still imagining it because of youuuuu
Uhh
bruh
Ask the AS designers what the early design of Enzo was on, they'll give you a similar answer to what some server member are on
whats AS
(For context this image has the early design of Enzo I was referring to)
Animated Series
But I'm not on what he's on
mr peterson’s stance 💀
It's not my fault I started imagining Enzo and Trinity chopping down a tree while kissing
It's coolwing's fault
(Not really)
how would they be k i s s i n g and chopping down a tree
probably kissed after choping down the tree.
What do you mean early design, this is Enzo’s CURRENT design. These are all their current designs other than tweaking the eyes
The eye change is why I called it early
Yes... now let's stop talking about this.
And somehow making Maritza’s eyes worse
Not getting the eye color right and removing the eyelashes
ye
does anyone know what the story of the hello neighbor novel is?
Which one
the one that features nicky
Oh so the first trilogy
yes
It's lorein' time
Basically Nicky is new to town, moved across multiple different towns w his parents bc they’re looking for stable jobs. He meets Aaron, they become quick friends, meets Enzo, Maritza, Trinity, etc.
Discovers the stigma around the Peterson family, investigates, hijinks and really dark moments ensue
End of Book 1 has Mya’s death and Aaron going “missing”
Gtg someone continue this
thx
and then walking nightmare then act 1 begins and then HN2 i think
They’re asking about the stories of the books
You forgor Waking Nightmare
Not the timeline
and 99% of Buried Secrets
Sleeping Dream
ok want me to do the timeline
are any of these book be cannon to the story of the first game in anyway or is it not cannon? i am kinda hoping that it would be tho.
they asked for the Story of the Nicky Trilogy
Everything but AS Pilot, Nog Simming, and most likely the Guidebook is canon
thats good to hear
(They never denied the Guidebook being canon but it's too inaccurate for me to count it as canon)
i mean i already know that hide and seek is before hello neighbor act 1 & 2
i was just confuse if the novels was cannon to the games.
interesting
Waking Nightmare isn't that important
But then we get to Buried Secrets
So it's Nicky's 13th Birthday
His parents took him to a amusement park outside of town named Spree Land
wonder how old Maritza is
While on a ride Nicky spots Mr.Peterson
are the HN 2 neighbors like the mayor in the novels?
After the ride Mr.Peterson puts a torn down missing poster to try (and partly succeeds with this first thing) to ruin Nicky's life
Only Keith(Nielsen)
None of the others are
But Keith isn't officially introduced until the Prequel Aaron Trilogy
This get's Maritza (Brave from SN) to get frustrated at Nicky
then Mr.Peterson continues to ruin Nicky's life
isn't keith in both nicky and aaron trilogies
Like setting up a "Prank" at the local grocer using a Mannequin
yes
He is, but I'm pretty sure he was not named until the Aaron Trilogy
also ted was likely just doing things to make nicky seem as untrustworthy as possible so that nobody would believe him once he inevitably found out the truth
Yeah
"i think its pretty obvious keith"
he was only ever fully named in book 2
-Marcia tillman 1995
however book 1 and 3 had keith's name
"well then pretend its not obvious to all of us"
Welp must've forgot, been some time since I read the books
wonder when ottos name came from
exactly when Aaron destroyed the speakers
heck nicky first thought they were dating
Then eventually Nicky finds tapes Mya recorded and finds out a little too much surrounding Mya's death
I'm getting back on track with the explanation here
Then Act 1 happens
And that is where the book ends
well it ends a little after the ending of act 1
What happens after?
nicky finds aaron and a massive underground amusement park and then is trapped in the basement until act 2 of hn1
Yep
Welcome to Hello Neighbor lore
Decided to not make a event timeline since I may get some details wrong due to being awhile since I read some of the books
The hello neighbor books sound boring
if you think books are boring then yes
Reading pages of text walls sounds fun!
I loved reading the HN books actually!
And I am not a big book lover by any means
wait HN2 did not have this unless the in the ending of HN2 spoilers!!! ||the guest was a shapeshifter and one of the forest protesters knock Quentin out leading him in the massive underground amusement park and thats where we find arron||
it's mostly because if you're interested in the story then you'll find reading about it more interesting
Yeah
because it sheds a lot of light on a lot of details
It’s a book series based on the game series I love
So naturally I was drawn to it
anyone like that theory
cuz HN2 cant end there
||That.. doesn't happen at all||
i do find myself rereading it but only for the details that i might otherwise miss
i don't think i'd ever find myself remembering that raven brooks had a town square or that gordon cleave used a luck device as a paperweight
yeah that theory doesn't make any sense by the way
||welp hn2 cant end there they can chance it anytime||
I don’t think I have reread any of the books
||forest protectors disbanded and some were arrested
police are at the neighbor's house
aaron was taken out of the basement a while ago||
Could be something to do in 2023
i recommend it
especially if you ever find yourself recreating raven brooks.
HN2 desperately needs a mod kit
or modelling characters.
Which I have not needed to do either of.
||Actually Aaron transforms into The Guest||
yeah
but still it's useful if you're making anything based around raven brooks
Me:
I suppose so
||did you read the shapeshifter part||
(I literally am remaking Raven Brooks using the Stream Leak's Map in Minecraft so...)
Well it’s about time I went to sleep, gn!
gn

imagine recreating raven brooks and using hn2 as a reference
GN2 you
hilarious
#1014682487038935172 you can pos leaks there about your map
Godamgn it Autocorrect
“Raven Brooks Disaster you”
would have been better if you played off as an intentional pun 🦀
It's a base reference for starting, I'll extend it from there to feature other stuff (like Town Square, RB Elementary, the DLC Locations, etc)
||You're wrong on the "forest protector knock out quentin" part||
seriously the hn2 map is way too small and none of it makes sense and i hate it
Maybe if Autocorrect ever does that again I will
Again, I'll extend from there with more of Raven Brooks
eh i planning to make my own custom RB cuz i dont want to copy them
and add the farmer house
me when i retcon friendly court and retcon every single canon resident in rb
Just using the HN2 Leaked Stream Map as a starting point I'll extend to add more locations
me make custom
the only part i do like is the mix of the more rural style of raven brooks that you can see in some of nikita's photos in combination with the more modern suburban style
And maybe further seperate the Museum from Mr.Peterson's house, or the Mayor's Manor would be moved closer to where, when I'm done making the road map, the center of the town
maybe also throw in a Mall Easter Egg bc that thing literally has not been removed in Months
Since December 2021 it's been in the game files
it's still there in the demo
But still
maybe i dont want to copy them
and make a custom like me
That would be copying.
my map will have 0% copied and adds scrapped stuff
Also I'll probably read the books again and try to map out all the different maps of Raven Brooks to try to make a true map
like GAAP farm etc
Me putting GAAP, Mayak, and "Guest World" (AKA Old Art version of the town (Mall will be in that)):
(Guest World will have Gray Manor in it)
ok
..
you beat
me
buut
bakery otto house museum mayor house will be custom made
besides the blue house
me finishing the house
why wool tho
yes it does
Keith is in every single book except books 4 and 7
naw, doubt it
Seth and Ruben are heavy basketball players, and they always make fun of Aaron
Bagger doesnt really fit that
this is false
Keith was officially introduced in book 1
PLEASE
JUST
STOP
spreading false information
I cant believe a book reader like YOU got the facts wrong
he was named way back in book 1
🗿
he was fully named in books 1,2,3,5, and 6
Why are you acting so aggressive, he probably just forgot
I dont like ppl spreading false information
Again, he probably just forgot?
ok
You don't gotta yell at him like it's the end of the world, just say like "He actually was named here btw" instead of " OMG you forgot a simple tiny detail from the books that's easy to forget I will KILL you!"
||They know what you did||
Now it's this
Which is more bearable thank god
But the detail is kinda just gone
And it's not colored anymore
And Maritza is a boy now
(Joke)
She just looks like one here for some reason
||they know what you did last summer||
*tom boy
Does being a tom boy remove your eyelashes
Being a tom boy doesn't make you look like a boy tho
You just, "dress" like one and "behave" like one
And then there's the original
Love how only Lucy's bracelet is visible now for some reason
who doesn't love pre SN maritza
Imagine her looking like that in SN, that'd be cool ngl
But nah make her completely white but still hispanic ok
me
Pre-SN Maritza is best Maritza
Exactly
And Enzo was an athlete with a thing for video games! And not a scrawny photography club geek
I’m pretty sure the book describes him with a tan
He looks like a vampire
I mean, Enzo would definitely be the same shade as his sister was in the pic
Since yknow, siblings
But nope, pastey white geek
Yeah and I acknowledge that genes and all, but I thought Mr. Esposito was white and their mother was Mari’s shade
I always thought the other way around
Yeah
he was a scrawny photography club geek in the Aaron trilogy tho 
Because they’d already changed his character by then
and, no, this isnt ALWAYS the case
But it tends to be the case because, shared genetics
then explain my friends
Jaden and Alden
they are brothers born from the same womb
yet, Jaden looks like vannila ice cream and Alden looks like dark chocolate
🤷♂️ stylistic choice for the characters
Doesn’t change the fact Enzo was an athlete with a tan, then changed to scrawny white nerd
I thought they were some obscure book characters lol
I don’t know who your friends are lmao
my point is, siblings arent always the same color
Even if they’re different shades neither of them were as pale as they are now
And surprise surprise, they have the same skin color now
So idk what the point was
That’s fair
It is fair, but Mari was confirmed to have that skin in the Nicky trilogy, and now they’re… unlit cat lamps
I guess the point here is we loved pre-SN Maritza and now she’s not
I didnt
I prefer the current design more
New Mari is kinda generic too ngl
??????
Oh
Maritza’s “Brave” design is good! Just
They aren’t really the original Maritza
They’re basically just 2 entirely different designs said to be the same character
but you still have to keep in mind
Brave was always meant to be Maritza from the beginning
you always tend to forget that
They were intended to be! Just they got very many details wrong!
or they intentionally retconned her design
Brave was designed to be Maritza, but she uses a totally different design
Which that ain’t good!
why?
There’s a word for it but I’d probably get in trouble w the mods
they prob gave her light skin, cuz we already have dark skinned Trinity
There are different shades of skin tho
I don’t intend for this to be an argument guys
Im not
you havent read the text ontop the office?
it reads "Wayron Croobs Nebbar 4TV"
which translates to: "Raven Brooks Banner 4TV"
but the sign for some reason says WCB4TV
instead of WCN4TV
Wayron Croobs Rimmor had such a nice ring to it I know they wanted book accuracy and whatever but still 😭
I prefer banner
what actually is an author program?
his full name
was only mentioned in book 2
Keith Newsom
it was also mentioned in book 5
It's a program for like, small reporters I guess, and Quentin was a part of it, and judging by all the drawers and the labels I'm assuming he was assigned to RB
"heads up, Keith Newsom and his slick detective buddy are here"
this is from book 5
@solid dew
there's no way i missed that every single time i read the book
i would have remembered if his name was mentioned outside of book 2
ok, lemme show you the proof
go to book 5 page 143
2nd page of chapter 9
damn
that chapter must have been really uninteresting for me to completely not read it
its impossible for it to be uninteresting
its the chapter where they excavate a nest and find a luck device
its actually one of the most crucial chapters
then i probably just didn't notice the name every time i read it
i remember every other part of that chapter
Um not to refer back to old messages, but apology accepted Lore Master
I actually forgot about Keith being named in the first 3 books, been some time since I've read them you know
👍
