History Trivia / EverymanHYBRID

** Due to the popularity of their characters, the three male leads have had to contend with fans drawing graphic artwork[[note]] of both the sexual and violent varieties[[/note]] of their characters, and incorporating their full names, OOG photos, and personal information for roleplay. In Evan's case, this resulted RP accounts--some with offensive or NSFW content--showing up when potential employers did background checks. Eventually, Evan cast a Twitter poll to give his character an official last name, in order to differentiate himself from his fictional counterpart. (His followers settled on "Myers".)

** In his (now deleted) Tumblr, Evan stated that HABIT began as an independent monster concept, unrelated to the series; he decided that it would be better incorporated into [=EMH=].

*** For these same reasons, Evan has ceased livestreaming OOG content and [[https://twitter.com/Evanjennings64/status/1583632170752839680?t=XPliLFuWlGcCEHhSnn8Xxw&s=19 stated]] that he will automatically block any account that harasses his friends, looks suspicious, or uses OOG photos of him.

** The creators have also had to deal with enamored fans trying to strongarm their way into romantic relationships. OOG Vincent deleted or privatized all of his social media accounts circa 2019, after an underage fangirl stalked him online, sending him NSFW photos and claiming that the two of them were "soul mates" (and, after he told her to back off, that he had groomed her). Vince has since stated that he will only be using social media for career-related purposes from now on, and no longer has any desire to allow fans access to his private life.

** On a more serious note, Evan affirmed on Twitter that he detests the crossover videos with WebVideo/TribeTwelve, due to series creator Adam Rosner having been outed as a sexual predator years after their release. He further condemned Adam's actions and stated that [[https://twitter.com/Evanjennings64/status/1641205549495615490?s=20 he regrets ever working with him]].
** During their first Q&A video on [=beyondEMH=], Jeff and Vincent indicated that they regret involving so much of Blog/CanYouSeeTheWords in their story, as they realized that it made wrapping up the story as a whole much more difficult than intended. It's telling that Stephanie was killed the minute HABIT showed up, and was never referenced in the series again afterwards. Jeff had also previously stated that he regrets many of the early crossovers in the series for similar reasons.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: "The day the world ended" shows that HABIT has an affinity for Mark Z. Danielewski's ''Literature/HouseOfLeaves''. Earlier episodes also show that Jeff owns a copy, and seems to have read it thoroughly. Evan Jennings made it clear in the first EMH Q&A that he and Jeff absolutely ''hate'' the book, (although Vinny loves it).

** James Corenthal is portrayed by Kevin Jennings, who is Evan Jenning's father in real life.

** At first, Evan was the most reclusive of the group when it came to fan interactions, as he shared his character's lack of familiarity with technology in real life, making it difficult for him to communicate with them. He has since come out of this, and is now one of the most social of the [=HYBRIDs=].

** A similar thing occurs in with WebVideo/MLAndersen0, where HABIT kills Shawn in "GOODBYE", and tortures Michael offscreen, due to Dylan and Austin getting jobs in different parts of the country; this was intended to allow the series to conclude independent of EMH. Unfortunately, Dylan lost the footage of the intended final episode, forcing the creators of EMH to scramble to film a replacement -- sans the series actors -- before they vacated the rental property.

*** The final shot of the last entry -- the main trio, reunited, walking off together -- was conceived years in advance. However, the original concept began with a montage showing the boys in happier times, and ended with the trio (sans Corenthal) [[RidingIntoTheSunset walking down a street and into the sunset]], rather than across the Baldpate field in broad daylight.
** HABIT began as an independent monster concept unrelated to the series. Evan decided that it would be better incorporated into [=EMH=].

** Evan wanted to use "The Thing that Should Not Be" by {{Music/Metallica}} at some point in the series, but he was shot down by Jeff and Vinnie, due to the latter disliking the band, and the former being worried that [=YouTube=] would copyright claim the videos similar to the videos that were taken down for using Music/FrankSinatra in them.

** There were plans for more connections with WebVideo/TribeTwelve to happen, including HABIT appearing in one of Sebastian Kraus's journal entries (which would've been penned by Evan himself), as well as a scene where HABIT would teach Firebrand how to use his new abilities. This all came crashing down in September 2020, when it was revealed that series creator Adam Rosner was a sexual predator who attempted to groom underage fangirls over the course of the 2010s and sexually assaulted an adult female friend. (However, Jeff has stated that these planned crossovers were written when both series' were young, and likely wouldn't have panned out anyway -- especially since [=EMH=] concluded in 2018.)

* RealLifeRelative: Kevin Jennings portrays James Corenthal in the series, and is Evan's father in real life.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Jeff and Jessa's actress were actually dating at the time the series began.

** Evan Jennings doesn't seem too fond of the early EverymanHYBRID material. While watching Night Mind's explanation of the series, he comments on the quality with this:

** The crossover with WebVideo/StanFrederick was initially planned to have HABIT appear in it and presumably meet Stan for the first time. Unfortunately, this ended up being scrapped due to creative differences between Evan Jennings and Evan Santiago.

** The creators have also had to deal with enamored fans trying to strongarm their way into a relationship, to varying degrees.

** Though it probably doesn't need to be stated (due to the striking resemblance between the two), Alex is Jeff's actual brother.

* CreatorCameo: [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets Tim Sutton]] provides the voice of Roger, Princeton Vinny's friend heard in the contents of Box 7.
* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Vincent mentions in a now-deleted Instagram story that he considers Jim Thorpe to be one of his favorite episodes to film, as he and Jeff enjoyed going up to the mountains, and the scenes shot were supposedly very fun to film.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: "The day the world ended" shows that HABIT has an affinity for Mark Z. Danielewski's ''Literature/HouseOfLeaves''. Evan Jennings makes it clear in the first EMH Q&A that he and Jeff absolutely hate the book, although Vinny loves it.

** On the main channel, "In which I assume the role of a 13 year old [=MySpace=] girl" was taken down in 2018 due to a copyright claim from WMG. Previously the audio was forcibly muted in 2015 due to an earlier claim, before being restored in September 2017. "Next" would eventually be blocked worldwide in July 2019 as well.

** Stephanie was killed off in Next and deliberately not brought up or involved in any future videos posthumously due to her actress leaving the project sometime after that episode was released.

** When the series was ongoing, the creators initially tried to avoid reaching out to fans to preserve the ARG elements of [=EverymanHYBRID=]. After someone found Jeff's OOG Instagram account by accident however, he decided expand upon his social media presence to communicate with fans.
** At first, Evan was the most reclusive of the group when it came to fan interactions, as he shared his character's lack of familiarity with technology in real life, making it difficult for him to communicate with them. He has since come out of this, and is now one of the most social of the HYBRIDS.

** In "A Summoning", the repetition of the line "Because you're going to "die" (which is seemingly spoken by HABIT without using his mouth) was an audio glitch. The boys decided to leave it in, because it added to HABIT's "otherworldly" vibe.

* TorchTheFranchiseAndRun: An unusual case in that this doesn't apply to the series itself, but rather the series that it crossed over with.

** A similar thing occurs in with WebVideo/MLAndersen0, where HABIT kills Shawn in "GOODBYE", and tortures Michael offscreen due to Dylan and Austin getting jobs in different parts of the country, allowing the series to conclude in some way in a way that isn't LeftHanging.

** "All good things" (which initially would have taken place at the end of season 1) was originally to end with Evan/HABIT killing Jeff, Vinnie shooting HABIT immediately afterwards, then Vinnie being forced by Slender Man to swallow/shove the North Star’s knife down his throat (in fulfillment of the passage from the EVERYMAN play about the Guardian "swallow[ing] justice's sword"). It was changed due to bad weather and other hindrances that prevented the creators from pulling this effect off practically.
*** The final shot of the last entry -- the main trio, reunited, walking off together -- was conceived years in advance. However, the original concept began with a montage showing the boys in happier times, and ended with the trio (sans Corenthal) [[RidingIntoTheSunset walking off into a sunset]].
** HABIT began as an independent monster concept, completely unrelated to the series. Evan decided that it would be better incorporated into [=EMH=].

*** They had also considered casting a local college instructor in the role. He expressed interest in the project, but it never panned out due to his eccentric and noncommittal behavior.

** Due to people frequently trying to impersonate and roleplay as Evan from the series, often using the actor's actual last name and personal, OOG photos (which, in turn, resulted in said RP accounts showing up when employers did background checks) OOG Evan eventually cast a Twitter poll to give his character an official last name and better differentiate himself from his character. (His followers settled on "Myers".)
*** Evan has also [[https://twitter.com/Evanjennings64/status/1583632170752839680?t=XPliLFuWlGcCEHhSnn8Xxw&s=19 declared]] that he is fed up with the abusive, entitled behavior of fans, and will automatically block any suspicious-looking account or anyone using OOG photos of him.
