POV jedidiah martin calls you bisexual

Hi, so my best friend @birdbutbetter I came up with this theory surrounding what might happen with camp here and there in the coming seasons. Next steps for camp here and there are going to be big ones, but none of us know what’s going to happen for sure, which is why we began theorising.

be warned, this is incredibly long and very, very scattered.

First things first, we’re going to start with our boy Jeddiah. We know that, through some way involving the knowledge of Sydney’s revival, Jeddidah has accidentally killed his father. Btu what about everything else? What is he working on? What is his past? What the hell did he do to revive sydney? How the hell did he end up killing him? This man’s moral compass is surrounded by magnets.

Sydney and Jeddiah, as of episode 34, are dating! Gay rights! Anyways, they have some issues, most of them being the fact that Jedidiah nearly killed sydney, and then did kill sydney and then revived him, and then proceeded to ignore him for a whole fucking year, which, of course, destroyed him.

Now, Sydney and Elijah have a complicated relationship. Sydney desperately wants to be loved, and Elijah loves Sydney but not as a person, as a muse. There’s also some issues when he tries to burn Sydney in a pyre, but we’ll get to that later.

Now, the relationship between Elijah and jedediah is interesting, because they knew each other when Sydney was in hospital, but not by name. Elijah seems to know a creepy amount about jedediah, calling him the clockmaker and knowing where his journals are.

Now here’s where we get into the theory bit, and it starts with a leap of faith.

I have serious reason to believe that Jedidiah and Sydney are gods, and that they will destroy each other. Here’s why.

Let’s start with clocks, and the episode that everything was slow. Better known as The Reality of Hallucination.

In this episode, something of jedidah’s breaks when he’s away and time begins to slow down and distort. Eventually, Jedidah, with the help of the Tonys, fixes whatever broke and time returns to normal.

Interesting part about this is the fact that we can hear what breaks, and it sounds like a clock. This is pretty straightforward, clocks tell time. The fun part is, we don’t know which clock this is, as it’s implied that Jedidiah has several clocks, but it’s very likely that it would be the cardinal clock, which we will get back too.

Part of this that also adds on is the fact that Elijah can only see himself in the face of the old grandfather clock he stole from lucille. We have no clue if this clock is important anywhere else, but because of the fact that it’s on several sweaters depicting the grandfather clock surrounded in fire in the camp here and there store, I’m going to go on a whim and say it is. There’s something else to say that the whole cover image of champ here and there is an hourglass, another time-telling tool, one that tells you that time is running out.

Also the whole thing with Joshua being stopped in a time loop that one time, in The Hunt of the Clock. Jeddiah solved that in less than a day, which is really impressive and almost… superhuman? 

Side note: We’re going to completely forget about up and Adam, good soul, but I’m sure he has plenty of foreshadowing we won’t see until the very end. I am very lazy.

Now, let’s get onto the birds. What the fuck is up with those birds?

Bird symbolism isn’t uncommon, especially in modern literature. Crows are used everywhere, as symbols for death and peace. What’s important for this specific bit, is that the main characters, with the exception of elijah volkov, all have symbolic birds.

Luceelle’s is pretty straightforward, hers is an owl. She’s wise, but keeps to herself.

But I am specifically interested in jedediah and Sydney’s birds.

Jediddah’s bird is a red cardinal. Cardinals are important in this sense, for two reasons. Number one, the old saying that when a cardinal appears in your yard, it’s a visitor from heaven. Sydney was dead, but he’s not anymore, so the visitor can’t be him. Who else could it be? 

The second one being the clock. Remember the cardinal clock i was talking about, in jeddiah’s study? The one that tells when people die? I actually can’t find any information about this on the wiki, so I really hope I didn’t just dream this up or was psychically contacted by someone.

But there’s a clock that tells you when you’ll die. Yay! And it’s decorated with the bird of jedediah martin, the clockmaker, the architect, and as far as we know, the only true necromancer in the world.

Yay! 

Let’s talk about Sydney October Sargent and his symbolic bird, the blue jay.

Blue Jays symbolise, quote, “everything from strength to confidence to communication, depending on the context in which you see them.”

This little tidbit of information is concerning, especially because strength, confidence and especially communication are all things that Sydney has struggled with in the past.

Blue jays have tight familial bonds, and often mate for life. They’re incredibly intelligent and can mimic the calls of other birds.

Because of their intelligence and social need, a lonely bluejay is a very destructive bluejay, both to itself and its surroundings.

This sounds way too familiar.

We should talk about Sydney Sargent himself. He’s weird, he’s cool, and he desperately needs a good long hug. He grows vines from his fingernails and thinks mushrooms are superior to people.

Which leads me to think that Sydney is some sort of god of the forest, asking for help or, perhaps, maybe the result of someone helping.

We all know about Sydney’s declining health, and the struggles he faced maintaining it. We also know that forests age and decay and rot over time.

If Jedidiah is some sort of god of time, and Sydney is some sort of god of the forest, this leads to some issues, because forests can’t grow without time. Time will move on if it doesn’t have a forest.

Not to mention, his initials literally mean S.O S? He’s a cry for help, or is crying for help.

Also, Sydney has monologued about a centipede, several times, and there is a centipede on his desk, in resin. Centipedes are symbols of good luck and good health, and live for up to seven years. That’s a lot longer than most insects.

At the end of the episode of the counsellor olympics, Sydney even says “There is a clear block of resin on my desk with a centipede inside. He wants to swap places with me. Lately, I am tempted to let him.”

If jedediah is going to try to save Sydney again, really the only way would be to hold him in some kind of stasis, like a fancy cryogenic tank. Or, perhaps, a block of resin.

Jeddiah, in a fit of desperateness, could try to trap Sydney in his own little world of suffocating plastic. Sydney will be neither alive, nor dead, both and neither until you free him. He will be absolutely alone, whether he’s aware of that or not. Alone is the one thing he hates.

Of course, we also have the strange and magical government. Necromancy is incredibly illegal, but is stasis? Is the government after Jeddidiah? They obviously know where he is, but are they watching him? Is he a test subject, by accident? So much to think about and so little time.

My final point: the world’s messed up

We all know camp here and there is in Ohio, which already makes the situation a little bit strange, but everything else is just weird.

The gravediggress? The magical government? Elijah’s fervour enchantment thing?

The fact that they could begods and our world probably isn’t used to having gods in our plane of existance or at all is probably why the world is fucked up and the sky isnt blue!

And lets not forget about COUNCILLOR MARIE ANNE?? The poor girl wasn’t even at camp for a year and she got dismantled! Marie Anne deserves the world, honestly.

There’s too much evidence for at least part of this not to be not true, but I guess we’ll see.

I’m excited for season two!

Fundraiser For Blue

Hello, all.

There was a fundriaser started for Blue Mayfield, the founder of the podcast Camp Here and There. On January 21st, while he was moving his apartment, his van was broken into and he was robbed of almost $20,000 worth of items. This leaves him with no clothing and without the laptop used to create the podcast, almost 3 years of work and a steady income lost.

***UPDATE

the official fundraiser is now:

OKAY BUT ON ANOTHER NOTE THESE R SO LIGHT AND ADD HEIGHT TO ME!!!!!!!

CHNT Vampire!AU

This is a general info dump about the cast so far in my wip vampire au

This au is mainly focused on Sydney, Jedidiah, and Elijah but other characters will maybe get bite sized pieces of content later on

this is gonna be a long one so strap in kiddos!!

Jedidiah was able to discover how to keep Sydney alive using vampire dna(?) he denies the existence of vampires , says they r folklore or an exaggeration of certain conditions or symptoms, discourages Sydney’s belief/interest of/in them, Jedidiah in reality tho is unsure of his belief in vampires, as much as he denies them he feels there are some things even he cant turn a blind eye at but he would never admit it, he’s afraid to believe he may have cursed sydney, or made him into a monster, but he simply did a medical procedure, hopefully,

Elijah is a turned vampire, who’s new motif instead of an elephant is a spider, gets his “abilities” from his vampireism , striking eyes and teeth and strange aura, who worships Sydney for being able to achieve “immortality” without any of the draw backs if being a vampire and no blood lust, “he still has his humanity”, tho Elijah find him to be pure and holy, the thing he doesn’t know is Sydney isn’t entirely immortal and is not completely free from vampiric side affects

Lucille is Catholic and raised Jedediah the same way, she partially believes in vampires more than jeddie but doesn’t like to discuss it, more so in the evil, and demonic feeding and draining of energy and human life aspects and the idea of evil hiding in plain sight among regular people than the fantastical theatrical depictions in modern media with pointy ears, pale skin, and the ability to turn into a bat

Details on Sydney are yet to be revealed but for what I can say for now is he has quite the fixation on vampires, he likes to research their folklore, and collects small trinkets related to them, and tends to unintentionally info dump but is mostly received with annoyed and unamused faces, Sydney contrary to Elijahs beliefs does suffer of symptoms of vampirism, like rapid hair and nail growth, sensitivity to sun light & paleness, and a sensitivity to silver , tho most of these things are watered down to being small stuff like just being easily sunburned, not going outside enough, and just a small nothing to worry about allergy

But the au is mostly the same as the regular plot, minus a few extra details, and now vampires r kinda real, Elijah is a vampire, and the aesthetic is different

That’s all for now🦇🦇

it’s 5:24 am and I haven’t been able to get any sleep because i've been thinking about the anon on the chnt confessions account yesterday, the post about elijah.

ELIJAH VOLKOV IS NOT A "PURE EVIL VILLIAN." I AM PREPARED TO DIE ON MITKSI’S HILL FOR THIS.

in fact, i'd say he's quite the opposite! he's not some kind of irredeemable, vile monster of a human(?). he is a mentally disturbed man with an unhealthy pious obsession with an idealized version of somebody he does not know.

is he an "evil" character? he fits the textbook definition well enough and he plays an antagonistic role in the story, so yes, i suppose he is.

referring to elijah as a "pure evil villian" might as well be the same thing as calling jedidiah one. both characters and the way they treat sydney are two sides of the same coin. elijah is more stereotypically manipulative than jedidiah, sure, but they still both damage sydney in their own ways.

elijah did do arguably worse things than jedidiah did, for example, stalking, brainwashing children and trying to bury jedidiah alive(through the bodies of people he was also brainwashing). not a great look. but he isn't little jack horner from the newest puss in boots movie, he has real motivations and believes wholeheartedly that he is doing the right thing for all parties involved. his intention wasn't to kill sydney, and i personally don't believe it was his intention to manipulate sydney either. with how divine he views sydney, it just feels out of character for him to do that intentionally. unlike jedidiah, who is self aware enough to realize his flaws and how he harms sydneys mental well being. jedidiah, who(i'm pretty sure) has been aware of how his behavior effects sydney for YEARS, and has still done nothing to change. meanwhile, elijah, who was seemingly unaware of how he negatively impacts sydney, is made aware suddenly, and we see no aftermath of that. presumeably he still views sydney in the same way, but still, who knows?

i guess the main issue i personally have with this take is how it neglects to mention how jedidiah is just as bad. i'm just a jedidiah hater though, so this is probably extremely biased.

camp here and there doodles, i love drawing jedidiah just sitting there looking pathetic.

hey guys

Everything I learn about Sydney and Jedidiah's relationship makes me fucking sad.
