#

They butchered the neighbor's facial expressions so hard 😭

snow mauve
#

Yeah I don't like scary neighbor's face in the alphas-beta

thin wadi
#

Now his mouth is slanted and his eye brows look angry..?

snow mauve
#

He just looks goofy

#

And silly

thin wadi
#

And the idea animations

#

Please give us new idles for the kids and the neighbors!

#

The guest has fine animations, the rest need to go

snow mauve
#

Quentin the most lol

#

He just has nothing

thin wadi
#

I wish they never added him

#

Hes not a kid

#

Why is he there

#

He has his own game

snow mauve
#

Because

#

AS lore ig

#

Or smth

#

I mean one of the devs did say it was for story change

#

I think

thin wadi
#

Why can't the rescue squad have their own game?

#

Not talking about HNVR

snow mauve
#

But they already have several times tho..

#

Like I'm tired of just seeing them in almost every game

#

I rather have new characters like Quentin

#

Than just always Nicky and The Rescue Squad

ripe berry
#

Quentin is going to be a overused character just you wait

snow mauve
#

NOOOOOOOO

#

Not my boy Quent 😭

thin wadi
#

On a kids team about kids sneaking into the neighbor's basement

crude thunder
thin wadi
#

I'm talking about their original game

#

Which would be SN

#

Well hello neighbor originally started as an adult than a kid

#

But ok

#

I don't see why not have another adult protagonist

thin wadi
#

Not the premise of hello neighbor as a whole

#

The premise of SN

snow mauve
#

Right well

#

I was referring to

#

The future of HN games

#

Not SN

thin wadi
#

Oh

quick fulcrum
#

Idk much about the Guest lore but I have a theory

#

Assuming that tinybuild scrapped the old lore of the hn2 Alphas, it taking place after Act 3 and all

#

I think that since the story of hn2 switched to being between act 1 and 2, it's safe to say that they're taking a new direction with the Guest and the LORE of hello neighbor 2

#

Idk if this theory will go anywhere but, I know Aaron being the Guest is kinda hated

#

But I think that maybe the Guest is connected to Aaron somehow. Like it's not actually Aaron in the suit. But he's connected psychology to the Guest.

thin wadi
#

Probably

quick fulcrum
#

In hn vr you see Aaron morph in and out of the Guest,

thin wadi
#

The guest is connected to the Peterson's in hnvr

#

Wait

#

Thats old lore

quick fulcrum
#

@thin wadi whats old lore?

thin wadi
#

Lore from the books and most games

crude thunder
#

Guest demon

quick fulcrum
#

Yeah, the TV series seems like it's bridging the games, and the games are a bit separate because the series had to change things to make it make sense...

thin wadi
#

The books graphic novels HN1, HNHS, HNVR and HE

#

Are all old lore

torpid sinew
#

i miss old lore

thin wadi
#

HN2 and the animated series are all new lore

thin wadi
crude thunder
quick fulcrum
#

Old lore is better in my opinion

crude thunder
#

The earth shattering farts in question:

quick fulcrum
#

I like the rescue squad in the series better but Nicky is annoying in the series

thin wadi
#

All the kids are annoying in the series imo

#

Except Ivan because he acts like how I'd expect him too

quick fulcrum
#

Ivan didn't even have a character in the old lore so I'll take that

thin wadi
#

And also Finch (even though she has like 5 seconds of screen time)

torpid sinew
crude thunder
thin wadi
quick fulcrum
crude thunder
#

Im not even saying old lore is bad its just funny

quick fulcrum
#

LORE

#

Anyways old lore in my opinion is a bit better, like Nicky getting kidnapped in the series was underwhelming compares to the books

crude thunder
#

Go back to hating me or something old lore defender..

shell gull
#

Damn, that escalated, don’t know how you got offended by him saying that but alright.

paper edge
#

will hello neighbor two add more to the lore

#

will there be more updates for hello neighbor 2

blazing latch
snow mauve
#

Yeah

strange lance
#

Hn2 will add more lore to it's continuity, including the AS.

#

It will not connect to any other hn game or books

One message removed from a suspended account.

#

What does hn1 have to do with that?

blazing latch
strange lance
#

Uh alright

pale urchin
#

I understand why he pointed out hn1. He's saying "imagine if hn1 had the same situation as hn2 is having"

pale urchin
#

Oh

strange lance
#

It all began with mayak..

Mayak always was, is, and will be there..

It was the catalyst. It created 2 timelines..the OG continuity and the AS continuity.

Both are similar but different and exist at the same time

#

I would not be surprised if in the AS it's revealed mayak created the universe

silver vine
#

the bathtubs kinda sucked imo tho

snow mauve
#

But was still a cool thing

glacial whale
snow mauve
#

NO-

thin wadi
#

AS nicky is more crazy though

#

Unhinged obsessed child

#

Vs likable smart and logical child

tribal talon
strange lance
#

The ones from patch 9 area?

tribal talon
#

yeah

strange lance
#

If you're talking about the wrecked town that doesn't connect to the books or games.

The storm in og hn2 happened before the games events began, and the flood in gn2 happens after hn2.

In new hn2 the town gets a storm mid game which is it's own thing. ||Also if you're talking about mith that's just mj in this continuity, but he's also dead? Idk what's up with him||

#

Also the wrecked town isn't a spoiler we've known that since the first guest teaser

#

So it should be fine to discuss

tribal talon
thin wadi
strange lance
#

Act 3 burning was retconned in the original lore so it doesn't connect to the overall og lore. It does connect to og hn1 when the house burning was canon. Also we have not seen the full pictures and areas of the wrecked town, we don't know if the entire house is up in flames

#

For all we know the fire could go out due to rain

#

We should wait and see first

tribal talon
#

How it´s the act 3 burning retconned. I know books retconned it, but if they added kept it in the final version of hn1, it´s for something. Games and books connect but they have slight differences.

strange lance
#

They did not plan for hn to get that big. When they had a chance to rewrite stuff for the books they just chose to not have the house burn. Theres a lot in hn1 that doesn't make sense just due to it being the first game

#

Also going back into hn1 and making drastic changes to fit with the books would be a lot of work

subtle turret

My name?

subtle turret
#

Yesyour discord name

strange lance
#

By attention you mean like, me talking to people?

subtle turret
#

Yes

strange lance
#

I guess so

subtle turret
#

^^

strange lance
#

I just like talking about the lore

subtle turret
#

Ok

tribal talon
#

i made this sound kinda like a denial jollygoodshow

strange lance

#

||Bringing back mith was kinda funny, but he seems interesting||

manic dirge
ripe berry
#

Na

#

they made AS Lore since Books didn't "adapt well to animation"

pliant estuary
#

ok I'm going to get destroyed for putting this here but who cares, this is the way I see the new timeline, the part with Nicky's Diaries is referring to only the memories and not the intro or the gameplay, if you have any questions just ask!

#

Also I couldn't fit GAA on this page (In other word I forgot to put it here) but it would be in 1991, meaning it would be in-between bosco bay and H&S/Diaries memories

#

also since we know next to nothing about season 3 I didn't put it here

blazing latch
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

pliant estuary
strange lance
#

wouldn't hnd be after hn2, since Nicky is a adult in hnd reliving the memories

pliant estuary
strange lance
#

ok so, just book 1-3

#

you could've put that instead

#

the nicky trilogy

pliant estuary
# strange lance ok so, just book 1-3

no just a cut version of book 1 which is currently what Diaries memories are (which they might add book 2-3 later on) the Diaries version of book 1 never mentions Trinity, and Nicky|| finding the note with blood from Aaron and seeing Aarons broken window covered in blood|| would be imo a good reason for Nicky to think Ted killed Aaron in AS

#

but idk its just a theory...

shell gull
thin wadi
#

I'm just kidding

pliant estuary
# shell gull Any Book or Novel isn’t AS, HND isn’t AS either from what we know.

"from what we know" its not that these things are AS, its that they could fit into AS theoretically, and that there hasn't been anything big to 100% retcon them yet, I actually think they help explain some of the AS story points that don't make sense, like for example, given the last couple of memories in Diaries it would make sense why Nicky thinks Aaron is dead, given the bloody note, and Mya saying "Its dad he's getting worse" also since the Diaries version of book 1 never mentions Trinity it lines up with her moving to town in AS, I'm just saying it could be, even if its not 100% confirmed, its a theoretical timeline

shell gull
pliant estuary
#

There's not much in the Diaries version of book 1 that contradicts things in wtrb

#

while there's nothing in WTRB that out right says "Nicky and Aaron were friends at one point"

#

on the other side though there's nothing that says they were not friends

#

I'm not saying Diaries itself is cannon in AS, I'm saying the events in the memories (aka cut down version of book 1) can have been events in the AS timeline

ripe berry
#

instead just calling them Peterson's Kids

#

THEN AGAIN...

#

We're forgetting that he's kinda also trying to spread the idea to Trinity

#

and Trinity wouldn't know who the hell Aaron or Mya are

crude thunder
#

(He has no idea who they are either)

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

(He has no idea who they are)

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

AS lore dumb

ripe berry
#

like any actual PROOF he didn't know them

crude thunder
#

That's my proof

ripe berry
#

its a fact sure

#

but it isnt proof of lore

crude thunder
#

I miss when nicky would do anything to save aaron and not be a little idiot

ripe berry
#

Oh Sh*t just remembered what he says in Episode 6 when we first find him

#

"I'll be your friend... your best friend..."

crude thunder
#

Yeah

#

AS lore sucksssss

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

Wdym

ripe berry
#

Oh wait... Nicky seems to have forgotten stuff since his whole "open the door open the door gasp DON'T OPEN THE DOOR DON'T OPEN THE DOOR I'M SORRY I'M SORRY."

#

so he could've just forgotten who someone in the Basement with him is

crude thunder
#

No hes just being influenced

#

By guh

ripe berry
#

Proof? I know there's the "Locks can't keep it out... it gets in your head..." but that could easily be talking about the Thing and not the Guest

crude thunder
#

Ok

#

AS lore dumb 😈

tame bane
#

Sorry for coming out of nowhere but, what those AS mean

crude thunder
#

Animated series

#

Aka mid

ripe berry
#

AS is the Animated Series Welcome to Raven Brooks

tame bane
#

Ah, thanks

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

It issss...

ripe berry
#

You have to give something more then that the lore is dumb for it to count as proof

crude thunder
#

It's enuf

ripe berry
#

(something related to what you're trying to prove/disprove)

crude thunder
#

The other kids know who the kids are, I'd hope so atleast

#

He just blurts stuff out, Nicky I mean

ripe berry
#

The never address Peterson's Kids by name either so if they can know who Aaron and Mya are Nicky can

crude thunder
#

Yeah but they'd talk about it as well

#

I don't think they'd care if the new kid didn't know who they are by name

#

Also their names are all over town on missing posters

tame bane
#

What if Nicky just forgot aaron was cause he went crazy in the basement. idk Im just gonna leave

crude thunder
#

Were, atleast

ripe berry
#

No need to clarify their names when the names are all over town

crude thunder
#

But also thats not how people talk about someone they know

ripe berry
#

then how WOULD Nicky talk about Aaron and Mya?

crude thunder
#

Aaron and Mya!!!

ripe berry
#

and yet the other kids never call them by name?

#

and again he's also trying to spread the idea to Trinity so he'd have no reason to clarify names since she'll likely find out their names anyways and it's a bit less explaining to do

#

and also HN2 is a part of the AS Timeline and has several Book 1 references in Nicky's Treehouse

#

as well as the names for the Themes linking Aaron and the Treehouse that... you know... is on Nicky's Side of the street

#

Treehouse plays children_memories, while Saving Aaron plays the lite version of the song, children_lite

crude thunder
crude thunder
ripe berry
crude thunder
#

The book 1 stuff is from diaries

ripe berry
#

but why reuse assets with lore relevance in Nicky's Treehouse

crude thunder
#

Cuz egs are funny

ripe berry
#

and it's not like they don't know the context behind the Blueprints and the Game Cartridges because they put the GAAP Blueprint in Ted's House

#

and also there's a lot of Book Pictures in Ted's House implying to a extent the information in the books is canon

#

(They have the Golden Apple Young Inventor's Club image from Book 1 in there which proves at least some of the stuff from the books that seems to contradict AS has to be canon to AS)

#

(Maritza doesn't call Aaron or Mya by name, which if that for Nicky means he doesn't know them then that'd also mean Maritza wouldn't know them, and yet her (or her original book design at least) is right there in the image)

shell gull
strange lance
#

Ted has the hello engineer rocket model and clock in his house. This clearly means he stole the rocket and clock from the inventors club

crude thunder
#

he has the what model

#

am i tripping i dont remember a rocket

strange lance
#

I believe it's in the basement on a shelf

#

The HE clock is also used in the museum attic

shell gull
strange lance
#

Yes

#

I was just using it as an exmaple for the treehouse stuff since those are also just reused models

crude thunder
#

HE lever is also all over the game

strange lance
#

Mhm

shell gull
strange lance
#

Gotta use the HE one

crude thunder
#

since theres like a makeshift-painted version of his wallpaper on its base

#

like him putting it somewhere and trying to have it blend in

ripe berry
pliant estuary
#

Diaries is AS

#

I don't remember people thinking Ted was a killer in the books

#

this only could mean one thing

#

Diaries is obviously AS lore

crude thunder
#

Okay

ripe berry
opal jackal
pliant estuary
opal jackal
#

Full of microtransactions and stuff

strange lance
#

Nah. This whole description acts like the game events are real despite being in Nicky's head where, may I remind you, everything is applified.

#

It also says we explore the suburban neighborhood which is a lie lmao

#

"Rumors he is a killer" there is literally nobody there besides nicky

#

Don't trust this description

#

Also the game straight up is showing the book events leading up to nicky going to the basement with no AS events involved. it's not part of the AS

#

Stop trying to make them connect

safe charm
crude thunder
#

Okay

#

Hes right though

strange lance
strange lance
#

no, people will just continue to confuse themselves and sometimes others. That ain't good

#

it's doesn't hurt to correct people

thin wadi
# strange lance Nah. This whole description acts like the game events are real despite being in ...

From an outside perspective the HN franchise is very confusing. 'They released HN1 which is about breaking into your crazy neighbors house to uncover his secrets in the basement. They released HNVR which is about breaking into your crazy neighbor's house to uncover his secrets in the basement. They released HND which is about breaking into your crazy neighbor's house and uncovering his secrets... etc etc... then they have a TV show that is just the same as the VR game and the multi-player game... except the story is completely different? It just seems like each game is the same and only keep getting made to keep the franchise alive'

#

This is what my friend had to say about HN

#

There's not many new ideas anymore, to him it looks like each game is the same

#

Thats why Hello Guest would have been so good because its not the same story told over and over again but its a new story with a new premise

#

(Reading back what I wrote realizing I don't make much sense)

stiff spire
#

true

#

they keep changing the lore

karmic ravine
#

idk if this was true or not but i forgot, is it true in Hello engineer that mr Peterson wanted to make a time machine to bring back his wife

#

someone said that

stiff spire
#

maybe

#

but what it did in actuality is when he reset time the ending was basically like the kids were like they didn't see anything

karmic ravine
#

also we should talk about the hn2 patch 9 ending cuz it got me confused ( spoilers btw )

stiff spire
#

so his plan didn't work sorta

karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

he is a hard worker though he does everything he can to do stuff

#

most likely he just wants everything he knew and loved back

karmic ravine
#

i mean i wouldnt be suprised of he did make a time machine, he built a 5 story house with a windmill and a train

stiff spire
#

true

#

the weirdest lore change is he built his massive house in the show but in the games it's all a dream I'm still taking AS as it's own but they're trying to make it work with the games

#

I think the AS is good but it's kind of weird in some places

karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

they've been pretty much shifting around the lore from here and there originally they were gonna make the books canon but they didn't find it to match well with animation

#

the only game that has the old lore from the books is HND (hello neighbor diaries)

karmic ravine
#

do we know when ( the date ) of mr peterson and Diane getting married

stiff spire
#

nope

karmic ravine
#

dang

#

i just found a photo of them 2 at a wedding

#

idk if that is spoilers or not

stiff spire
#

I'll probably guess around the 1950s or 1970s idk Theodore doesn't look too old

karmic ravine
#

i think hes like 50 somthing

stiff spire
#

probably

karmic ravine
#

he was born 1945

karmic ravine
#

jk

#

oh yea age 51 in hn doesnt say hn2 tho

stiff spire
#

he did look younger in HN1

karmic ravine
#

and grew a beard in hn2

stiff spire
#

if I were to guess the events of HN1 and 2 take place after a couple of months but then again HN2 is like a rewritten story of HN1 sort of

karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

but it's still new at the same time

karmic ravine
#

in reset day ( book ) hes 76

#

bros a grandpa

stiff spire
#

oh yeah

snow mauve
snow mauve
karmic ravine
snow mauve
#

When he's already old

snow mauve
#

Same with Hello Neighbor vr

snow mauve
#

HND did this

#

By using HN2 model

#

But removed his beard

karmic ravine
stiff spire
snow mauve
stiff spire
#

it's cursed though that they show the HN1 neighbor in the cutscenes

karmic ravine
#

also whos piper and Regina

#

i just found that out

snow mauve
#

Piper is a random girl that lives with her auntie in the Reset book

#

Which her auntie is adult Maritza

#

And Regina is from another novel book

stiff spire
#

GN2

snow mauve
#

Yep

#

Raven Brook disasters

karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

honestly GN2 is one of the best HN books in the series it has a sad twist and it's relatable

thin wadi
snow mauve
#

And there's a weird time loop thing

karmic ravine
#

also we should really talk about the hn2 patch 9 ending cuz it got me confused

snow mauve
#

But the books aren't canon anymore

stiff spire
snow mauve
#

And we will never know what will happen next

stiff spire
#

wait are we allowed to talk about the patch 9 ending here since the update has been out for a while now or do we still have to use the spoilers channel

snow mauve
#

That they were mistaken

#

And assumed Quentin

#

Is Ted

#

But he's not

#

And that's it

#

Pretty much from what I've gathered so far

karmic ravine
#

oh wow

snow mauve
#

But of course there's more to be discovered

#

In future updates

#

So it's obviously not over yet

#

Since there's more plans going on with the Guest

karmic ravine
#

this might sound dumb but i just thought they were thanking him because quetin was investgating him and telling people that hes just a sad man and not evil

snow mauve
#

And funny enough

#

Quentin just fainted again

#

Just had too much to process

karmic ravine
#

bro blushed

thin wadi
#

How many times will quentin faint in hn2

stiff spire
#

I feel like the mannequins were supernatural or something how did they move

karmic ravine
snow mauve
#

Oh hell no

karmic ravine
#

LOL

snow mauve
stiff spire
#

I like the soul version

thin wadi
snow mauve
#

Or maybe someone either The Guest, Cultist, Ted or probably someone else that built the mannequins

#

And tries to sorta bring Diane and Mya back

stiff spire
snow mauve
#

I'll never forget his horrific scream

stiff spire
#

but to be honest though I would really love it if did get 3rd person cutscenes

karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

most of the cutscenes is Quentin blinking in first person view

snow mauve
#

Oh yeah

#

Very strange how in cutscenes now

#

We legit see Quentin blink

#

Lmao

#

I find it unnecessary

stiff spire
#

the only time we do get to see him in 3rd person is for a few seconds when he is about to take a sip from his coffee and write down something in his journal

snow mauve
#

Yep

snow mauve
#

Cuz honestly

#

It just make the cutscenes sorta feel like

#

We are

#

In the game

#

Which to me made me forget that I'm playing the game lol

stiff spire
#

my favorite cutscene is the intro (especially the way how they updated it now)

snow mauve
#

I like the nightmare sequences

#

Just the crowman themes

#

The way it's presented

#

Something about it just makes me love it

#

But pretty much i love every single HN2 cutscene

#

Besides late fees

stiff spire
#

oh yeah the bed nightmare was my favorite too

snow mauve
#

I'm not satisfied with that ending lol

snow mauve
#

Pretty unique one

#

Showing us how Ted could be terrifying

stiff spire
#

I'd honestly like to see what would it look like if they were to update it but also all the other nightmare scenes

snow mauve
#

Just him trying to get in your house

snow mauve
#

Cuz honestly all of them are uniquely well made

#

I don't see what's need to be changed

stiff spire
#

true do they look nice

#

I was actually thinking of making a suggestion to remove Aaron's "Help Me" on his shirt so that players would get more terrified but it should stay so we know what is our goal

karmic ravine
#

did yall notice the updated intro scene where aaron is getting captured when aaron falls, mr peterson gets shocked and scared that he mightve gotten hurt

#

hold on i have a clip that shows that

snow mauve
karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

oh that part

snow mauve
#

Okay that part

#

I'm pretty sure

#

Ted was trying to tell Aaron

#

To stop running away from him

karmic ravine
#

and when he walks in the house ted lets go of aaron

snow mauve
#

Which doesn't show Aaron getting hurt at all

karmic ravine
#

just letting him in the house

snow mauve
#

Yeah cuz he tries to be nice of him but fails to do so

#

When someone is watching him

#

Which is kinda awkward

#

So he just gently tell him to go back inside

stiff spire
#

I'll probably say the Neighbor has lived a very bad life the sad thing is Aaron is all he's got left so once he dies or something bad happens to him ||HNVR|| Theodore will be all alone

karmic ravine
snow mauve
#

He wasn't trying to physically hurt him

karmic ravine
snow mauve
#

Yeah because someone is watching him lol

#

When earlier

#

He jumped on him

#

And drag him back inside

#

In a aggressive and sorta abusive way

#

But it's pretty obvious he desperately want to protect him

#

And don't wanna lose him

karmic ravine
#

bro said some " BOO-YHA "

stiff spire
#

the flower pots do look nice

snow mauve
#

But if i were to connect HNVR with HN2

#

I would assume

#

Ted dragged Aaron away

karmic ravine
snow mauve
#

At the end of HNVR

#

Which would make sense

#

And sorta fit to the timeline

#

Instead of the Guest doing that

stiff spire
# karmic ravine

HNVR feels like GN2 (we got the nest, and the part where the Guest takes over Theodore but in a different way instead of drowning him)

#

oh shoot

#

I did not mean to reply to you

snow mauve
#

Lol

stiff spire
#

eh I'll keep it

karmic ravine
snow mauve
#

When HNVR clearly connects with the books

#

And HN1 perfectly

stiff spire
#

if HN2 does have a proper conclusion which will probably take a while I'd like to see some kind of recreation similar to the scene of the neighbor getting ambushed by the cops and fighting them

#

from ep6 of the AS

#

that scene was my favorite part

snow mauve
#

HN2 is starting to make me think that the game is actually connect the pieces well with HN1

#

And some with the books too

#

Like we've seen pictures of each book character

#

(In Upstairs bedroom)

#

Also there's this one secret picture

#

Showing Ted's house collapsing and on fire..

#

(Doesn't that remind you of something...)

stiff spire
#

goodbye house

snow mauve
#

Mhm

stiff spire
#

finally (we'll most likely see how the neighbor's house got destroyed) it'll probably be destroyed in an epic way

snow mauve
#

Because

#

After years

#

We probably will finally know

#

What will happen to the neighbor's house

stiff spire
#

my question is who burned down his house

#

my guess is the cult

snow mauve
#

Or the guest

#

Idk, but I really hope we will actually see

karmic ravine
stiff spire
#

iirc his house got trashed by vandals in the books

snow mauve
#

His house burning down

stiff spire
#

and they wrote cursed on it too

snow mauve
#

When they're probably at somewhere else

#

Like in the museum

#

Or maybe somewhere else

karmic ravine
#

like flashback

snow mauve
#

Flashback?

stiff spire
#

for some reason I feel like he would come back maybe he still left Aaron in the basement and the house caught on fire and went back quickly to save him

idk about yall but i think mr peterson would do anything to save aaron

stiff spire
#

but then again we don't know what happened to Aaron after act 3 of HN1 maybe we'll get to know

#

since HN2 will cover past and future events of the story like what Adam said in the devlog 3 video

snow mauve
#

Why would Aaron be in the basement?

#

If he technically is with his father

#

And being kept hidden somewhere else

manic dirge
snow mauve
#

NOOOOOO

manic dirge
stiff spire
#

maybe he realizes he forgot about him after he escapes for some reason and by the time he goes back he remembers that he still kept Aaron in the basement only to see the house being burned down but other than that I don't have any other idea why he would be in there still

snow mauve
#

I'm really looking forward

#

For the future of HN2

stiff spire
#

we'll definitely be seeing the photos in action in patch 10 alongside with crowman shelter

#

imagine if mayor died I don't think he did if so what would happen to skipper

#

he probably evacuated in time

#

but he probably lived in his mansion for survival during the disaster since we see a generator in the photo

snow mauve
#

I wonder

#

If we'll see one of the cultists die

snow mauve
#

True

shell gull
thorn rover
#

Is it possible or maybe confirmed that the 14:14 writing On the neighbor's mailbox can be the date of his wife's death?

crude thunder
#

No

ripe berry
#

Since there was a statement that HNHS would show who burned down Ted's House and Aaron is the only character who survives HNHS who at the time would fit with wanting to burn down the house

#

The story expansion is going to be so peak.

#

Quack!

ripe berry
#

(I mean it looks like a fire is about to start or has already started because why else would there be what looks like smoke everywhere in the background)

#

Source of the image: #hello-neighbor message
(Also it actually is concept art I scrolled down a bit and Jacky said it's one of the "old images I found around here", dunno why I doubted it being Concept Art)

crude thunder
#

Uh no!

ripe berry
#

Explain.

#

and this ain't AS Lore talk I'm talking with the HN1-HNHS Era

crude thunder
#

Well you see

#

I burned the house down

#

lol

karmic ravine
#

does this proof that the crow isnt in the cult

fierce timber
#

mhhh viande

karmic ravine
#

?

tame bane
ripe berry
#

his goals may not always line up with the Cult's

#

he has something else in mind for Quentin

#

Something we would've found out in Patch 9 but it wasn't finished yet so it got delayed to Patch 10

ripe berry
#

(and yes "The Guest" is the Crowman's official name)

karmic ravine
#

why couldnt they finish the whole patch 9 update before releasing it

ripe berry
tame bane
#

The guest probably watches Quentin from the window and was pretty impressed with Quentin's skills

#

Idk

karmic ravine
tame bane
#

That's a theory of mine of why he's freeing Quentin

ripe berry
ripe berry
#

or all of the first part of HN2

karmic ravine
#

Hello neighbor lore goes crazy

ripe berry
#

Since evidence suggests the Guest can control crows

#

and what shows up above the location you need to go to when you need to go to it

#

a bunch of Crows that leave the second you finish the section

karmic ravine
ripe berry
#

and also explains who is making it play those CCTV Footages and who keeps dragging Quentin back to his office every night

crude thunder
#

he isnt actually part of it

ripe berry
tame bane
ripe berry
#

Most Cult Depictions we've seen have them with a Golden Apple Coin around their neck

crude thunder
#

wait til patch 9 and then we'll be sure

#

also he doesnt have this pre-catacombs

#

the cloak

#

i mean

#

til patch 10

#

lmao

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

they can also like

#

change the designs

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

no

#

it isnt

#

lol

#

thats a placeholder model

ripe berry
#

the Cloak was likely made after the new model was made

tame bane
#

The Guest knows what Quentin attentions are for doing all of this

crude thunder
#

the FPs in the layout video are placeholder meshes

ripe berry
#

so it makes sense for the placeholder thing to not depict him in the Cloak

crude thunder
#

no im saying that before the catacombs

#

he doesnt have the cloak

#

even ingame

#

in act 1 he does not ahve the cloak

ripe berry
#

and we only actually SEE the Guest once in Act 1

crude thunder
#

yeah

but he still doesnt have the cloak

ripe berry
#

he can easily have just chose to not wear it then

crude thunder
#

its clearly a plot point thatll happen in the catacombs

#

cuh

#

Cuh

#

oh my GOD!

ripe berry
#

Also teasers for AS Episode 7 depict the Guest with a Cloak

karmic ravine
#

what other HN books do i need to get? i have puzzle master, Bad blood, Walking nightmare, Missing pieces, and grave mistakes

crude thunder
#

yeah a completely different one

ripe berry
#

also there's a reason I said "so-to-speak"

crude thunder
#
  • he has a black belt in karate
ripe berry
#

He's the "Leader" of the Cult because he's their god

crude thunder
#

you did not say any such thing

#

once in this conversation

#

oh right nvm

#

anyways then guest turns on them

ripe berry
#

yeah I ain't denying that the Guest and the Cult have different goals

#

and whatever the Guest's Goals are require Quentin to still be alive

crude thunder
#

no hes just messing with him

#

hes probably gonna chase him around the catacombs

ripe berry
#

fair

#

and then when Quentin escapes turns out a storm has hit Raven Brooks

crude thunder
#

Yea

karmic ravine
#

this song fire

crude thunder
#

i love guest chase 1

ripe berry
#

(a storm that was teased in SN and HE no less)

#

and I know in Old Lore the Storm hits right before HN2

crude thunder
#

and was meant to be beginning in the bossfight!

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

i dont think they care about the canonicity of either

ripe berry
#

and during this storm something will happen that causes Ted's House to burn down

crude thunder
#

Id assume a powerline falling on it

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

since thats like the only thing that could start a fire like that

#

at the top nonetheless

ripe berry
karmic ravine
#

was the secret pictures in the hn2 patch 9 of ted's house burning

ripe berry
crude thunder
#

blehh

ripe berry
#

and no I don't care if the Old Lore games weren't meant to connect to New Lore until AS Episode 12 drops I'm holding out hope that HN1, SN, and HE are canon to AS (not that AS is canon to HN1, SN, and HE Tho)

#

if they haven't been proven canon to AS by the end of Season 2 THEN I'm giving up hope

strange lance
#

It's as simple as the game versions of those events are not canon to the AS, but the AS's versions of them are.

Example such as HE where in the AS continuity it's a school club while in the og it's a personal club

Or hnvr where in the AS only 4 kids break in and they save nicky while in the game 6 kids break in and don't save nicky but instead aaron does

#

The AS really is just an AU when you look at it

#

Just what if scenarios

ripe berry
#

a AU that Alex wants all future HN projects to follow

strange lance
#

Which I believe is a very dumb move

#

But he can do what he wants idc anymore

#

If he wants to confuse more people then oh well

ripe berry
#

Just like how at first the Books were a AU but Nikita and Alex decided to canonize them and now they are once again not canon anymore

strange lance
#

He's just making hn look even worse by having 2 conflicting timelines and saying they "connected"

#

It doesn't take a genius to see how they just don't

karmic ravine
#

is this correct or should i add more

strange lance
#

Yes this is correct 😃

karmic ravine
#

alright

#

what about this

strange lance
#

Also yes

ripe berry
# karmic ravine

To the original timeline this is correct (not counting books since you seem to have ignored them in the making of this timeline)

karmic ravine
#

okay

ripe berry
karmic ravine
#

not the books

ripe berry
#

tho GN2's Exact timeline position is unknown

karmic ravine
#

should i do the books?

ripe berry
#

We know the Book Timeline pretty well

ripe berry
#

GN1 -> Bad Blood -> Grave Mistakes -> Puzzle Master -> Missing Pieces -> Waking Nightmare -> Buried Secrets -> GN2 -> Reset Day

crude thunder
#

goo goo gaa gaa

ripe berry
#

and most just ignore the Guidebook's existence but it would go shortly after Act 3 if you wanna mention it in a timeline

karmic ravine
ripe berry
karmic ravine
#

also thought you said GN2 position is unknown in the timeline

ripe berry
#

We know where it is relative to the other books

#

but not Act 3

karmic ravine
#

oh

ripe berry
#

the most common order is GN2 -> Act 3/Finale -> HND -> Book 7

#

but nothing says it can't be Act 3/Finale -> HND -> GN2 -> Book 7

#

but it's impossible timeline-wise Act 3/Finale or GN2 to go after Book 7

#

Act 3 is impossible because dates don't line up

#

Act 3 is 2017, Reset Day/Book 7 is 2021<

#

and GN2's Ending has to have happened by Reset Day

shell gull
ripe berry
#

yeah it's more likely for GN2 to come before Act 3, but not impossible for it to be after

#

and that more likely bit is why people put GN2 first usually

#

Why is there no sign of a flood in Act 3? because Act 3 was before they had the idea of the flood so they didn't bother to model hints to it

#

how did Nicky's House surive the flood? Idk how is Ted's House still standing in Reset Day with evidence it was never burnt down

#

if you can get behind Ted's House surviving to Reset Day Nicky's House existing can be explained away

#

and this also explains why Mr. Peterson himself seemingly is never seen in Act 3

#

other then in a Easter Egg I can't find any proof that it wasn't removed from the game

#

and even if you count the Easter Egg Ted being in the City in Act 3 actually acts as evidence TOWARDS it being post-GN2

strange lance
#

I see it this way.

Act 3 is decades after hn2 since Nicky is a adult by then and Ted is nowhere to be seen besides the city.

Gn2 is after hn2, and ted is still somewhat "young" looking. Along with that ted is trying to flood the town with the guest, and it's be weird to try and flood the town for over like 3 decades or more.

#

It just makes more sense to be before act 3 imo

ripe berry
#

yeah if we ignore the phones they have in GN2 GN2 being sometime maybe a few years after HN2 makes sense

strange lance
#

Also during act 3 it seems very barren so like why would you wanna still the flood town when theres barely any people anymore not to mention the place is run down lmao

ripe berry
strange lance
#

After hn2/hnvr he lost his son, his last family member. It's why he's so mad at the town in gn2 and wouldn't wait decades, not to mention he references HE which would weird to do if HE wasn't recent.

ripe berry
#

I'd go with at most a Year since Tech in HN is weird

shell gull
#

And the Burnt Down house thing was retcon in Old Lore, but based on the HN2 Teasers it seems AS is keeping it.

ripe berry
shell gull
ripe berry
#

enough time for them to move out

ripe berry
#

and actually

shell gull
ripe berry
#

if you look at how things are in Act 3

#

it seems they had to leave in a hurry

#

Pictures and Boxes are still around the house

shell gull
ripe berry
#

Like they were in the middle of packing and then they were told something like a flood was about to happen

#

they just left whatever they still had in the house there and left town

shell gull
#

Nicky probably had the Best Arc of all of the Characters aside from Quentin in Old Lore, Wanderer, lead himself into the Basement, Lost his Memory, had Trauma, got over the Trauma himself, looked for answers.

ripe berry
#

Yeah

#

Imma hop off for a bit

#

brb

shell gull
ripe berry
#

back

silver vine
#

SN too, kinda

ripe berry
#

ok then what is the explanation

#

I know HN1 being Therapy

#

but I don't know anything with SN

silver vine
#

SN is not finished yet

#

Alex said that SN ends with ep9

ripe berry
#

Oh yeah I remember that

#

So SN is somehow a mix of memories from different time-periods?

silver vine
#

maybe

ripe berry
#

I know AlexN said the SN Maps aren't canon but Map 4 feels like it'd be from ~Episode 7-8

#

Map 5 would be from from Episode 7

#

and Map 1-3 is Episode 6

safe charm
#

The hn1 intro

#

Sadly wasnt explained

cold gull
safe charm
#

Yeah

cold gull
#

And later the eps just happen

ripe berry
#

Yeah I go with HNHS -> HN1 Act 1 Intro -> AS

#

(Not listing HND (Memories) since I know if I do that it's probably gonna lead to a argument about which lore HND is)

#

and HND is not needed for AS, it just adds sense to why Nicky thinks Aaron is dead and not just in the Basement

#

He sees Blood on a window at the current end of HND's Memories, and then sees (not long after Peterson's Kids are labelled missing) Ted fight someone and the Ted locks something behind a door

#

if HND starts adding Book 2 stuff instead of AS Stuff then I'll give up on connecting HND and AS, but for now they work together

One message removed from a suspended account.

snow mauve
#

Yes

#

It doesn't have many (obviously)

#

The story is mostly about Ted trynna build some portals or whatever just to go back in time and save his past but fails to do so (obviously)

#

And then the kids decided why not visit the abandoned golden apple amusement park just to get parts to build their own, But of course Ted gets annoyed and wants to murder them by using his machines but again fails

#

In the ending, the kids accidentally gets transported in sandbox mode as Ted watched it happen.

#

But the kids were able to escape by building a rocket ship they built

#

And that's it

devout dock
#

Lore implications of the sewers under the fountain in HN2? I know the sewers are a location in the VR game, anything else?

While the sewers for hello neighbor 2 just exists because it's for the cultists other hideout

When their original hideout was the museum but they just abandoned it

shell gull
#

Nah you good.

#

Anyways what I was bout to say since he doesn’t know yet.

#

We know Alpha 1 and 1.5 was just Symbolism, we know the plot was how Ted got taken and trapped by The Guest after GN2, we see in 1.5 the Halloween Kids also trapped, Guest Kid is seen as Aaron, since in the Beta we see the Costume in the Basement and also other Media, but the other Two would be unknown, BUT, when you realise, who were the only Characters trapped by The Guest? there were 4 People trapped in the Lore, Ted, Aaron, Enzo and Pipers Mom, in Alpha 1.5 there are 4 People trapped, Ted, Halloween Kids which are 2 Boys (Aaron and Enzo) and 1 Girl (Pipers Mom).

#

This was something that was agreed upon 4 Months ago

crude thunder
#

well no the halloweens kids are representations of mya aaron and nicky.

#

ripe berry
#

Halloween Kids could have several representations

so the Ancient Curse Achievement could relate to Nightmare #3 somehow

Ok so I have a theory about what happened to the kids in SN-Act 2

#

Basically Nicky already escaped via Aaron and since there was no point of saving anyone anymore they just stayed there and died in the I presume fire that burned down Theo’s house that we see at the start of act 3 since it was all rusty and abandoned

ripe berry
#

actually...

#

There's books

#

and a Animated Series, depending on what you wanna count as canon

#

in both of them the kids are still alive after Act 2

ripe berry

Also since I'm making a map of Raven Brooks and don't currently got the books on-hand, was there anything in the books that'd be useful for making a map (or a statement about where a Book-Exclusive Location is at on the Raven Brooks Map)

thats only in the books
