Hey so, a lot of folks in the Marble Hornets fandom are varying shades of new to it, and so didn't experience it coming out unfortunately, but apparently there used to be a marblehornets website that has been down since 2016, and I actually didn't know about it but my friend (@straycalamities) did and found it on the Wayback Machine.

I bring this up because while the images on the website are mostly broken now, it actually holds some really fascinating information on the characters that I have never seen talked about, like some of their majors in college!!

I am going to post snippets (as screenshots would get fucked up on mobile) and talk about them a little, but check it out here if you're curious.

Starting from the top and most passionate, we have Alex Kralie's description.

Director / Writer / Editor / Actor Alex Kralie, born April 4th 1986, has been into making films since his early childhood, when he would make short sketch comedy videos starring himself and his cousins with his parents camcorder. He would then show them at “premieres” to his friends and family. That love has since remained with Alex, where he has been involved in many different capacities in various filmmaking communities. He is a double major in both filmmaking and photography, with a minor in theatre. He originally wrote Marble Hornets during high school and has continuously tweaked and polished it throughout his time at the university. He’s very excited to finally see it all happening after years of work!

Likes: Film, Directing, Art, my dog rocky.  Dislikes: Fakery, creative bankruptcy, passionless people, 9 to 5 jobs, unambitiousness, bad movies and film.

Wow, ain't that a breath of fresh air? A BIRTH YEAR! In a slenderverse series! In a youtube horror series, honestly! You never see it.

Alex's description is by far the longest and most passionate, a fact which kind of kills me knowing what he becomes. Working on a project he started in highschool, if there is anything Alex is, I suppose it is dedicated, all devoted to idea he gets in his head which he just can't seem to shake, huh?

Finally though we have a major for our tragedian! Two majors! And a minor! Sorry but I am genuinely so enthused about this. This paragraph really knocks home what I have always said about how Alex thinks, with his confidence and slight pretentious nature with a genuine passion and undertone of insecurity—and through the lens of him talking about himself! Wow.

But moving on to the lead, Brian Thomas!

Actor Brian has been attending the university for three years, and is hoping to graduate after his next couple of semesters with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in video production. He originally met Alex in Dr. Warren’s cinematography class where they collaborated on quite a few projects together. He’s very happy to be making his acting debut in Marble Hornets!

Depending on who you think wrote these, this description could be really funny. BUT WOW A CANONIZED WAY THESE CHARACTERS MET. I feel like I have won the lottery. Anyone else?

That is a really fascinating combination of major and minor too, [WHICH WE NOW HAVE FOR HIM, WOAH,] it really makes you wonder what Brian is doing though, and where his direction in life is, if he even knows. Its such a short and sweet and direct description, it is equal parts charming while hiding something under its surface you can't quite place and might even slip from your attention, which feels very emblematic of this character.

I'll leave you to read Sarah Reid and Tim Wright's bios on your own, but I want to point out that at the bottom of the page, there are two people who don't have them.

Both Seth Wilson and Jay Merrick are marked with a "coming soon" notice, with Seth listed as Camera/Co-Editor and Jay listened as... nothing. He is just slapped on there because. Why?

Probably because Alex wanted him there because he is his friend, but it is interesting to point out. Jay as I said before is a passive (though not meek) character, especially at the start of the series, and this just reminds me of that. He is here, but quiet and observing, not helping really as he trails after Alex because he is his friend, because they have a connection, because Alex can't imagine not having him here.

Food for thought :-)

Au where everything's the same except whenever Tim wears flannels it's the crop top version ( photo for reference )

.

[lwieczorek08]

why are they all wearing the same pair of jeans and why are they looking at me like i just personally pointed that out to them

[vamp-yro]

[marblesurhornets]

Guys Brian’s up to his shit again

I headcanon that Hoodie is much more lucid than Masky and he uses it to an unfair advantage when they’re together

Oh! Also! Here’s the pose reference. I dunno who originally drew it tho :/ Pinterest you are a burden upon me

always 4ever

Toby reminds me a lot about crows/ravens, everyone thinks they’re just another stupid dumb, bird. Not fully acknowledging how intelligent and capable they are.

Tim is like a horse, a symbol for rebellion and freedom against control. Constantly fighting against his chains to break free.

Brian embodies the coyote, a stalker that watches from the shadows that tries fighting but ultimately is overpowered by larger forces.

Jessica is a lot like a hare, braver than a domestic bunny but no less weak. Forced to watch from the side-lines as things rapidly go tumbling downwards.

[intimidating-fettuccine]

Brian: Why were you up yesterday until 3am?

Toby: How did you know I was up until 3am?

Y/N: We could hear you clapping to the FRIENDS intro every 25 minutes.

This is probably the best Tim looked in my art yet heh..

Uh, so... Here's some headcanons, I guess?

-----

Proxy/Slenderverse Interaction Headcanons:

1. Brian Gets Physically Sick Near The Operator/Slenderman – While the other Proxies might be fine if Slenderman sticks around Brian gets physically sick if Slender is too close for too long. His brain reacts physically alongside mentally.

2. Toby Can Tell the Difference – Ticci Toby is one of the few who can tell when Brian is fronting vs. Hoodie. He’s learned to approach Brian gently, like with a skittish animal, and gives Hoodie space unless it’s a mission.

3. Proxy Rivalries – Masky lowkey resents Hoodie. Not because of Hoodie himself, but because Brian is still “fragile” and Tim doesn’t think he should be involved. Hoodie and Masky have fought—like, actual knife-in-hand fights—at least twice.

4. The "Proxy Safehouse" is Divided – The Proxies share a safehouse if in missions with each other, but there’s a spot only Hoodie uses. No one else goes in there. Brian doesn’t remember setting it up, but there’s evidence he helped build it.

-----

Relationship-Based Headcanons (Romantic/Friendship)

5. Brian is Secretly Touch-Starved – He doesn’t seek it out, but when he trusts someone enough, he melts with physical comfort (hand-holding, gentle hair touch, etc.). Hoodie, meanwhile, tenses at any affectionate contact—he doesn’t know how to react.

6. Hoodie Watches from the Shadows – If Brian is starting to get close to someone romantically or even platonically, Hoodie tends to front more often, not out of jealousy but out of paranoia. He sees others as a threat to the system’s safety.

7. If Brian Has a Crush but Doesn’t Know It – He geeks out around a specific Proxy (or an OC, if you want to think oc x canon), lending them movies or rambling about his film theories. Hoodie knows and finds it painfully awkward.

8. Shared Dreamscape – When they sleep, Brian and Hoodie sometimes meet in a dream-like headspace. It’s unstable and weird (liminal spaces, warped time), but it’s the only place they can talk calmly. Hoodie is always wearing the mask even there.

9. Hoodie Gets Protective If Brian Dates – Not controlling, but he watches everything. If someone hurts Brian emotionally or triggers him, Hoodie will handle it—quietly and without mercy.
