“Do you believe you are sane?”

“If I were to document your everyday life… your behaviors, your mannerisms, your habits, your likes, your dislikes, how you dress, how you smile… would I find the typical human experience?”

“Do you believe such things exist?”

“Nikos Kazantzakis once said ‘A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free.’”

“If I were to assess you using diagnostic criteria, would my findings be… insignificant?”

Well I can tell you who didn’t do it…

What about slenderman siblings?

As of right now, no slender siblings are in the au, but that’s always subject to change! I have a very soft spot for Splendorman and if I can find a way to get him involved I will :3 In a hypothetical “season 2” of MiM, many other characters would be added like X-Virus, Puppeteer, KageKao, etc etc! The only reason these types of characters aren’t involved yet is because I don’t know them well enough or I haven’t figured out how to involve them!

I could definitely see a world where somehow different slender-beings branch off from Slenderman, the only two that come to mind being Splendor and Trender man BAHAHA Those two were always my favorites growing up!

[cherrycherryves]

sooo whats the slenderman lore?

What to say about Slenderman… what to say…

Let’s start here: Slenderman is an ancient being. Much like Zalgo, Slenderman has existed for a long time. He is a creature of the earth, and though it’s not known exactly what he is, he seems to be a manifestation of negativity… almost.

The mansion is an extension of himself, twisting and turning and bending and breathing and housing his children of darkness, misfortune. The mansion and the forest and Slenderman needs the energy to grow stronger, hence why he’s taken in so many wayward souls. Their sadness, their rage, their confusion, it all keeps him powerful…

It wasn’t always like this. Loblolly used to be peaceful. However, Zalgo and Slenderman’s last battle ended in that fateful forest. Slenderman trapped Zalgo in the underworld, but he, in turn, was trapped amongst the trees, meaning he cannot go far from the mansion. That’s where his proxies come into play.

That all happened in the late 1800s. In this new, modern era, things are changing. Perhaps it was Sally’s companionship, reviving her and viewing her like a father would his daughter. Perhaps it was giving a place to those affected by his enemy, for once not seeing fear in their eyes but hope, salvation. Whatever it was, the Slenderman has began feeling new things it had never felt before. A flame burning in his chest. He wonders if there is humanity within him… Perhaps it’s not negative energy that fuels him. Perhaps their belief in his ability to do good works just as well.

What ships are canon?

This ask means the world to me because I love romance and I love talking about ships >w<

Here in MiM, we have a variety of ships that are/will be canon! They include:

Idiots in Love! — Judge Angels/Bloody Painter

Actually Competent Couple! — Homicidal Liu/Eyeless Jack

Idiots in Love! (Yuri) — Nina the Killer/Kate the Chaser

And… last but not least…

Idiots in Love! (Yaoi) — Ticci Toby/Jeff the Killer

There are two more dynamics that I won’t be dedicating a tooooon of time explaining or really diving into, just because these pairings are more like… idk how to word it! They don’t really need a label for their bond! But they include Tim/Brian and whatever the fuck LJ and Nurse Ann have going on.

[cherrycherryves]

how did clockwork and lulu met?

OMG OKEI!!! So, I don’t have like… a proper timeline of when certain people enter the mansion yet, so bear with me. But I think Lulu is one of the newer members!

No one in the mansion really talks about what brings them to the mansion, unless they want to of course, but because of that, everyone just assumes everyone went through something terrible and that’s why there’s this unspoken rule of not pressuring anyone to talk about what happened to them. However, I do think things get passed through the grapevine when someone learns new information about another pasta.

Clockwork probably heard a little bit about what happened to Lulu from Toby or Nina. And even though Clockwork keeps to herself for the most part in my au, she’s pretty standoffish, she does have a soft spot for certain situations and people. And that’s why she’d become very protective over Lulu, as they had experienced similar things.

I imagine Lulu is very quickly calmed by Clockwork’s presence, and Clockwork isn’t about to just leave the poor girl to wander around the mansion and forest without assistance. Lulu is the most blind out of all the Zalgoids in my au, so Clockwork takes it upon herself to escort her around! And they swiftly get closer that way!

[cherrycherryves]

Clockwork Lulu friendship means everything to me. Please take them.

Bonus possessed Lulu down below :)

SOMEONE HELP HER!!!

THANK YOU FOR 100 FOLLOWERS 🎉🥳

I usually don’t celebrate follower milestones, but this time I had an idea of what I could do! :D

Since most of you have come from my Madness in Mansion AU posts, I thought it’d be fun to answer any questions you guys might have about it! I’ll even try to doodle some answers if I can (though I can’t guarantee they’ll all get doodles!) My Ask Box is open for any questions about MiM, specific characters, or even if you have any questions for me personally!

I can’t begin to explain how happy I am with people’s responses to my au! I know it’s really silly and light hearted, and it’s completely selfish as I wanted to create something 12 year old me would’ve loved reading and keeping up with. I have so many ideas for this au, pieces I want to write, character dynamics I want to explore, and I’m so happy other people are interested in it too! It keeps me motivated! \(//∇//)\ Also, big shoutout to my friends for always supporting me and listening to me talk about my ideas nonstop BAHAH. I think it’s time I yap more about my au on tumblr now that my big character intro post is finally posted! So please, ask away!!

MADNESS IN MANSION AU MAIN CHARACTERS !

DISCLAIMER: this is just my au to have fun with, so not everything is gonna be completely accurate or “canon!” A lot of these characters have different stories from their source materials! And also this au is mostly about friendship, love, and family! It’s just something I think is cute and fun to work on! :3 Also also! Since some of them don’t have catchphrases, I made up little quotes!

The main cast! The main line up! The main players!

More info is down below!! :D

Judge Angels — “I will sentence you!” — Dina Clark was brought in by Slenderman while on the run for killing their CEO father and most of their family’s staff. Traveling with them, their mother’s corpse neatly packed in a suitcase. They just wanted to find a safe place for their beloved mother to finally rest.

Bloody Painter — “Don’t be excited for tomorrow.” — Helen Otis sought out Slenderman after realizing the police were hot on his trail. The pressures of life had built up, and all he wanted to do was create a new world from scratch. One filled to the brim with beauty and art. The world will bend to his will.

Ticci Toby — “Follows…” — After moving from Wisconsin to Alabama, Toby Roger’s life spiraled out of control. He had endured countless hardships, and the death of his sister was more than he could take. After burning it all to the ground, Slenderman gave him a place to seek refuge.

Jeff the Killer — “Go to sleep.” — Some people are dealt a shitty hand. Jeffery Woods’ life was standard, but that didn’t make it easy. In high school, things only got worse. At the hands of his peers he was burned alive. He survived, but his mind had completely shattered. He wants to pick up the pieces.

Homicidal Liu — “Today’s a better day.” — Liu Woods had always done his best to be a proper older sibling. He wanted nothing more to protect his younger brother. Maybe that’s why he barely fought back when his brother attempted to kill him. There was a moment of hesitation, and in that moment he ran. Slenderman had found him bleeding out, he promised he could keep him alive.

Eyeless Jack — “Do no harm.” — Jack Nyras had his whole life ahead of him. He was at university studying to be a doctor. However, unexpected things can happen at any moment. What was supposed to be a college party had turned into nothing short of cult activity, Jack being their ultimate sacrifice. He doesn’t remember much after their torture, only that Slenderman had found him bloodied and fundamentally changed in the forest.

Kate the Chaser — “Don’t look…or it takes you.” — Sometimes Slenderman sees potential. Slenderman saw great potential in Kate Milens. But not just anyone can become a proxy. Kate had gone through multiple trials without even knowing, always coming out favorably in the Slenderman’s opinion. Being so close to Slenderman, however, comes with symptoms… consequences.

Nina the Killer — “Go to sleep, my prince!” — Childhood friends with Liu, Jeff, and their friend Jane, Nina Hopkins was always a bright and cheery force of nature. Despite her efforts to get along with her peers, rumors had a way of creeping up. It was a good thing she had her friends to lean on. She always had her friends. She’d always have her friends. Friends don’t give up on each other.

Eyeless Lulu — “Gimme your eyes.” — Lucille-Tiffany Greatfeild never had luck making friends. It seemed no matter what she did, her peers found her weird. Growing up, she was a lonely child, however, going to college filled her with determination to break out of her shell and at least make a few acquaintances. She was befriended by a group of peers who were seemingly kind and caring, but sometimes things are too good to be true. Having heard of an new internet legend, they pressured Lulu into playing a stupid game, performing a silly ritual. They all paid the price.

Clockwork — “Time’s up.” — Natalie Ouellette came from a broken home. Ever since she was young, she was starkly aware of how unfair life can be. She had poor health as a child, often in and out of doctor offices due to various reasons, a bad flu or broken bones. Every time she exited the hospital, she heard the tick in her head, like her time was running out, being wasted, rotting away. As she grew up, this tick only got louder. Time was against her, and the abuse was getting worse. She had to do something. And she did do something. And then she ran.

BEN Drowned — “You’ve met with a terrible fate!” — Benjamin Lawman was a very lively boy. He loved making friends, drinking soda, and of course, frequenting arcades and internet cafes! Life for him was simple, it was perfect! But there are things that are out of your control, circumstances one is born into. Divorce is hard for the whole family to go through, but Ben had hope, an optimistic outlook. The look in his father’s eyes was scary as they drove to the lake alone, but his father was a rational man. Surely there was a rational explanation for all of this.

Sally — “Wanna play?” — Sally Williams had just turned 12! Her birthday party was held in Loblolly’s very own, new and shiny park! The year was 1973 and the summer air was warm and inviting. Sally had just finished opening her gifts, her favorite being a new teddy bear from her mom and dad. A true friend, soft and kind. While many kids showed up to her party, they didn’t have good intentions. One girl suggested they play a game before Sally got to the piñata. They blindfolded her, giggling and exclaiming, “We’ll guide you!” Really, they just wanted to see if they could get her lost. What they didn’t account for was the truck barreling down the road as they told her to cross it.

Lazari Swann — “I can do this!” — Lazari Swann never knew her mother and father. Her mother had died during childbirth, leaving her to the care of foster homes. She did her best. She made the best of any situation, always selfless, always helpful. But as she grew up, it gnawed at the back of her mind. Her father… where had he gone? Who was he? What did he look like? She only had one clue, a picture from her mother’s photo album with a location marked: Loblolly, Alabama. She’d get her answers one way or another.

Masky — “Always watches, no eyes.” — Tim Wright is a man of few words now. Not many know of how he came to be so reliable in the Slenderman’s eye, why he’s so guarded and keeps to himself, why he’s so close with Brian. They just know that his word is to be trusted, he knows what he’s doing. He is regarded as the most capable human in the mansion, and despite his attempts to keep everyone at a distance, many of the mansion’s inhabitants look to him for guidance.

Hoodie — “Can’t run.” — Brian Thomas is just as reliable, but because of his elusive nature, many don’t know how to read him quite right. He is more personable than Tim, handling most of the talking when the two of them are together. Brian is easy going, despite his circumstances, and can even crack a few light hearted jokes. But no one really knows much about him. Still, people in the mansion recognize his survivability and will take his guidance if Tim isn’t around.

Nurse Ann — “It won’t hurt… much.” — In the 1800s, there was a hospital in the woods of Loblolly, and Ann Lusen Mia worked there. She was a dutiful nurse, very caring and dedicated to her job. She believed in the good of humanity, and cherished being able to care for the sick and injured. A doctor within the hospital, a colleague of hers, informed her that he was working on a new method of care and asked her to be a part of it. She agreed, enthusiastic for the progress of medicine. Little did she know she would be the experiment. As she felt herself dying, she pleaded with any entity she could to help her, save her, and that was enough for Zalgo to offer her a deal.

Laughing Jack — “Round and round the mulberry bush…!” — The Laughing Jack is a mystery to many. He is a demon, taking the form of a monochrome clown with many nonsensical traits. He speaks in riddles and rhymes for the most part, always eccentric and mind-bending. He thoroughly enjoys being a nuisance to humans, a pest, a bother, but when it comes to more sensitive people or children, he can actually be quite a sweetheart. His morals are unknown to anyone as he is not tied to Slenderman or Zalgo and acts on his own accord. He seems to favor Slenderman though, for whatever reason, and so he has become a trusted ally!

Slenderman — “…” — The Slenderman’s origins are unknown. He has existed for thousands of years. After a gruesome battle with the underworld’s ruler, Zalgo, Slenderman was severely weakened. The battle ended in a stalemate, though it was surely in Zalgo’s favor. Too close to a victory for Slenderman’s liking. At the end of their battle, Slenderman had used most of his energy to lock Zalgo in the underworld dimension for good, but his seal wasn’t perfect. Many zalgoid creatures can still access earth, but as long as it’s not Zalgo himself, he has time. He started taking in lost and weary souls in hopes of building an army. He feeds off negative energy, his mansion feeds off negative energy, the forest feeds off negative energy. But what he didn’t expect was that these beings, human and possessed and undead alike, have started making him feel. He cares for them. And this care might be just what he needs to get rid of Zalgo for good.

Jane and Mary designs for my AU! I’m thinking more about their place in my au and I wanted to doodle them :3c Jane is a Criminal Justice major and Mary is a Criminal Psychology major! Because the subject is deeply personal to Jane, Jane sometimes gets too involved with things and pushes the boundaries/rules. Her main goal is to get Jeff arrested and locked up for good. Mary keeps Jane from going too far, breaking too many rules, but often helps since she’s the only one who understand why Jane is going to these lengths. I have tons more ideas for them, but I’d be rambling too much!

[cherrycherryves]

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to! 🎉🥳🎊
