"Nutshackwoodman34 [FILE-18] - Haltmann's Archives" is a lore video and the eighteenth "file" in Haltmann's Archives.

Summary

The video is formatted like all Haltmann's Archives videos starting with "Termination [FILE-02]".

The video focusses on Nutshackwoodman34, a fake self-insert character that first debuted in "Comeback Crisis: The Lost Rip", and the world where his side stories take place in. Throughout the video, the rip "16 Melodies (Beginning) (PAL Version) - MOTHER 3" is used as background music.

Dated April 21, 2025, the file starts with Dr. Andonuts commenting on the release of "My Last Stand (Funny Jojoke haHA) - A SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story", a video supposedly set in The Central Canon Continuum that features several of its more specialized residents, including as Andonuts himself. He then describes the structure of the "Nutshackwoodman34" videos and the world where these videos are set in, making note of the appearance of Illucidity and the different types of Holiday Spirit in these videos. Andonuts also notes that the reports of an unidentified duo with the ability to harness Fool's Spirit stopped at around the same time as the point of divergence between their and Reader's world. From information relayed to him by The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 replica, Andonuts also writes about Reader and Jerome's appearances in the AI Universe, where they still make references to their own works.

Struggling to make sense of Reader and Jerome's nature, Andonuts concludes that the duo must've originally visited the main version of the CCC before they were splintered off into their own alternate timeline. He further theorizes that this timeline was created by Fool's Spirit in an effect opposite to the neutralization of Anomalies and gives it the provisional designation of "CCC-FOOLS". Andonuts then starts talking about other alternate timelines to the CCC and questions what caused these timelines to branch off in the first place, hypothesizing that their creation might be tied to The World Beyond Ours.

The video ends with Dr. Andonuts stating that he'll keep a close eye on the SiIvaGunner channel to get more information of the Nutshackwoodman34 timeline and questioning how Reader and Jerome figured out that he was working with Pomni.

Context

This video serves to establish a more concrete connection between the Nutshackwoodman34 Christmas Comeback Crisis side stories and the channel's main lore. In this file, it is revealed that the SiIva world seen in the Nutshackwoodman34 videos is an alternate timeline of the Central Canon Continuum that splintered off some time before The Voice got kicked from his office in "[AUDIOLOG: 19:27, HEAD OFFICE]".

The alternate timeline featuring "the end of all things" refers to the Genocide Timeline first seen in the SilvaGunner: Rebooted 1st Anniversary event, which was reduced to a black void by Chad Warden. Meanwhile, the alternate timeline where The Voice was apprehended by armed forces references the rip "Seasonal Return [Episode 1] (Beta Mix) - The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis", with the armed forces mentioned being SCP-3922-A from the SCP Foundation page "SCP-3922".

[NUTSHACKWOODMAN34]

[April 21, 2025]

A video was uploaded to the [SiIvaGunner] channel today, supposedly depicting events that occured about 6 years ago, on Easter Sunday in 2019. Videos on the channel with unique stories are nothing new, [worlds beside ours] are a known type of phenomena, and similar videos were posted in close proximity...

Unlike the others, it claimed to be in [The Central Canon Continuum], and even shared some of its more specialized inhabitants: [The Voice Inside Your Head], someone who I was able to identify as the late [President Haltmann], [Wood Man]... myself. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, at this point, but...

To the best of my knowledge, none of these events shown here have ever happened. However, the amount of striking, if superficial, similarities to our work have pushed me to do further research on the topic.

The video is one in a series of... "Nutshackwoodman34" videos. These videos are narrated by a "reader" (actually, I believe his name is [Reader], after further insight), and in most cases star him and his brother, [Jerome], going through adventures through the "world of SiIvaGunner". Concerningly, this claim is contrasted by them claiming to be from "The real world".

The version of events depicted in these videos seem to follow the history of [The Central Canon Continuum], but diverges at some unspecified point before the usurpation of The Voice; at which point [SiIvaGunner], hooked up to a crude, overly simplified version of [Illucidity], has a nightmare that causes the world to be contaminated with [Halloween Spirit]. From here, the course of events diverge to a point of being almost unrecognizable... but only almost.

To reiterate: this video set depicts [Illucidity], if not a misunderstanding of it, several years before its implementation. It depicts [Halloween Spirit] in one video, and [Fool's Spirit] in another, both of which are - were - chiefly only known through [Haltmann Works R&D] internal documents. Easter Spirit is not known to exist by our findings, but this track record makes me question the veracity of that claim as well.

Something is deeply wrong about these works, and I am not sure what.
...I have concerns that these so-called "fan-fictions" are much less fictional than initially anticipated.

Update: Several years ago, we received sightings reports of an unidentified duo of beings who possessed abilities consistent with (the inconsistency of) [Fool's Spirit]. At the time, these claims were written off as preposterous, and indeed after a period of time they stopped completely.

But with the benefit of hindsight... these reports stop at approximately the right time, before the usurpation of [The Voice], consistent with where the proposed history would start to diverge.

[The Joke-Explainer™ 7000] has records of their appearance in other places, most useful for our purposes being [The AI Universe]. In any other circumstance, I would pass this off as a quirk, a natural byproduct of some... multiversal shenanigans, but even in these situations they make reference to their own work, where they should not know things about what they are saying, things that "do not exist yet."

I'm struggling to connect the words I'm placing on the page.

These videos are ridiculous - no, these PEOPLE are ridiculous. The only thing giving them credence is the consistency of their speech, and the ability for that speech to be potentially legitimate; to reflect our world in ways they should not know.

It has to be an alternate timeline. There's no two ways about it. That's the only scenario where all of these facts can be true: to engage in cross-dimensional travel would necessitate being parallel, and to have disappeared from [The Central Canon Continuum] makes it a matter of picking the singular option. They are not working out of whole cloth; they are playing with things that do not exist, a warped mirror reflecting of us.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of the nature of their alleged disappearance from this timeline. Perhaps this splinter is the opposite effect of the neutralizing of [Anomalies], and they were cordoned off due to their power? This must be the work of Fool's Spirit to some extent, but to what degree?

I will give this timeline the provisional title of [CCC-FOOLS], as an offshoot created by Fool's Spirit. Perhaps I should file a request for a search of any archived strange occurrences that could indicate the moment of divergence, and...

...this doesn't get to the heart of the matter, does it? It's not the whole context anymore. It would be remiss for me to think of it in those terms.

Could this have happened? No, that's still the wrong question - how could this have happened?

I do not mean in the granular sense. I am not at liberty to guess what could have happened to this universe, to the point that it has fingerprints of [Fool's Spirit] all over it. My best guess is that it has to do with [Reader] and [Jerome] themselves, influencing the world around them, but I am not in the timeline where this happened to check - and that is precisely why I am questioning.

The concept of alternate timelines is not unfamiliar to [The Central Canon Continuum]. [The Voice Inside Your Head] had previously talked about his rebooting of the universe, a metaphysical conundrum in and of itself.

But he also saw visions of another fracture, one of the end of all things... one that I have since learned happened, somewhere. But over here, we were diverted from the chaos - a miraculous change of heart from his original plan.

Instances of branching timelines are not exclusive to this either. We are lucky enough to have another example where [The Voice] was apprehended by armed forces after the construction of [Grandiose City], an almost arbitrary occurence: I had never heard of this group of people, and there is no documentation of their existence in company records.

And now we have this - a bomb dropped in our lap, the strongest example there is of how a timeline can diverge through a conjuring of events, created purely through being spoken aloud.

My question, to wit, is this: how is the catalyst for an alternate timeline created? What qualifies a potential so strong the branch must divaricate from the tree? What delineates us, here, as the most metaphysically stable - the most "real", as the save us from those potentials?

What could these potentials possible even have in common?

...[the world beyond ours]?

I will be keeping an eye out on the channel for more of this [Nutshackwoodman34] timeline for more info. An alternate reality of events, no matter how divergent, must include a reflection of some reality; and it might be possible to separate it from... everything else.

...and yet, somehow, I'm most confused by how they figured out I work with [Pomni]...
