Ephemeral Rift (Web Video) | comment |
Ephemeral Rift is a YouTube channel and the nickname of its host (sometimes shortened to E.R. or Uncle E, real name Paul McNelis). Paul is a YouTuber and podcast host, specializing in ASMR videos and audio.Having stated on several occasions that he is a fan of, and largely inspired by, horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, Paul's videos are often surreal, confusing, and sometimes even downright creepy. Using a wide variety of characters (all played by himself) such as Professor Clemmons and his brother, Corvus, and wife, Margaret, Deep One Dave, Charlie (Carl), Iggy M. Manley, and many more, Paul has created a deep and confusing narrative of multiple universes and dimensions, often leading to self-contradictions in the timeline.Please note however that several videos on the channel such as the board games, video games, eating, personal chats or random sound effects are not part of the story canon.Ephemeral Rift can be found on a YouTube channel and Facebook page. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
Ephemeral Rift (Web Video) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Corvus is generally benevolent but that will not stop him from performing some bizarre or even painful experiments on the sanitarium's patients. | |

After the End | |
Ephemeral Rift (Web Video) / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: This video says that World War 3 will eventually leave Earth uninhabitable, though Corvus Clemmons will be one of the few survivors in the future, living on another planet. The series as a whole operates on this, as most episodes take place at some point in the future, but between whatever event caused a breakdown in society & the rise of the NWO banning things, the world became stagnant & still resembles the modern day- though due to the numerous time portals and dimensional rifts, the exact state of each Earth seen can vary somewhat. | |

Split Personality | |
Ephemeral Rift (Web Video) / int_370aad9 | comment |
Split Personality: Professor Clemmons appears to be split between 3 or 4 personalities in Professor Clemmons Cutting Mat. Played With in the case of the Tin Foil Hat Society. Paul wears a different hat and tinfoil outfit in each TFHS video, and it's left ambiguous as to whether each outfit is a separate person, or if one man is playing the part of an entire society of conspiracy theorists. | |

Ephemeral Rift (Web Video) / int_580f4907 | comment |
Unreliable Canon: In-Universe. Due to a series of cataclysmic events and the opening of rifts all over the multiverse, timelines are constantly merging and changing. As such, it's not uncommon for one video to directly contradict an earlier one. | |

Meaningful Name: Iggy M. Manley, who is, in fact, quite manly. His initials also spell out "I. M. Manley." "Corvus" happens to be the name for the genus of birds ravens, crows, rooks, and jackdaws come from. Very fitting for plague doctor Corvus. His initials are CDC, as well. | |

Idiot Ball | |
Ephemeral Rift (Web Video) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Happened in hindsight in this video when Paul admits in the video description that using rubbing alcohol to clean action figures was not a good idea- as seen with a few toys in the video, isopropyl alcohol can dissolve paints as some figures lose chest decals instantly. Seemingly the point of The ASMR Cone of Silence, as leaving the titular cone in the room silenced the audio for an hour-long recording. | |

Herr Doktor: Corvus, who calls himself this verbatim on a few occasions. He's a Mad Scientist, albeit a fairly benevolent and understated one, and he has the required accent and occasionally drops German words into his speech. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: From the video "Guessing random things about you": In Corvus Gets Mad his anger over a pair of missing gloves leads to worldwide disasters including landslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, building collapses, wildfires and... a toaster catching fire plus a Windows blue screen of death on a random PC. | |
