Rewatching Marble Hornets really has me questioning why Alex wasn't really included in Creepypasta media, at least alongside his peers with Masky and Hoodie.

This may be spoilers if you've never watched Marble Hornets before (its 15+ years old, but I digress).

First I do want to establish that in Marble Hornets.

Alex is the acting antagonist, Jay is our unreliable protagonist and narrator, Tim eventually becomes a side protagonist. Hoodie is a side character who often seems to help our protagonists. Every other character are side characters that help move things forward and intensify plot- when I go into detail on some characters, some of what I say can be applied to them too.

Next, the Operator's way of controlling it's "proxies".

The Operator has some sort of aura that, when exposed, causes some sort of illness. Coughing fits, seizures, and presumably more. It's presence also in turn causes paranoia, insomnia, memory loss, and a general loss of senses. This is what it seems to use to control others.

You see this with all characters in the series, how ill they get, how paranoid they get, how the worse these all are the more they do things for the Operator. You see this happen to nearly everyone.

For Tim, he is able to eventually curb this via medications, presumably seizure medications. It doesn't fully stop Tim from being controlled by the Operator and acting as Masky, but it does over time seem to make it happen less and less. You also see Masky act in later acts of the series against the Operator, or at least for Jay.

Hoodie is interesting, because you really don't see much from him, but most of his appearances is helping Jay, and you find his house full of medication bottles, presumably stolen from Tim or from some other means. The totheark videos have many purposes. They can threaten Jay, or they can warn him, they can help him. In some you see messages which echo and parrot the drawings Alex makes, in others you see him give Jay clues. He both works for the Operator, but against him and Alex at the same time.

Jay starts off as seemingly one of the only people on the cast/crew of Marble Hornets to not get involved when Alex first started his shenanigans. He remembers Marble Hornets and starts looking, immediately he gets sick and paranoid and starts encountering the Operator. He is tired and irritable, and towards the end you see him make more and more rash decisions, violent decisions. His path seems to mirror Alex, the only difference is that Jay wants to stop all of this.

Alex is the most interesting, because you almost never if at all see him ill. You can presume that maybe he saw the Operator as a kid, as one of the totheark videos show childhood home videos of him and mark him with the Operator's symbols and show's the being there, but you never see it. Alex acts under the operator seemingly at all times. He starts off paranoid, maybe even afraid, but very quickly he becomes numb to it. Seth and Sarah die very early on. He attacks Brian, Tim- all so early on, and he seems to feel no remorse for it. Eventually, it does seem like he falls away from the influence. He moves away, stops recording. This goes on for years, until his girlfriend finds his old camera. Almost instantly the Operator is there. She is missing, but he survives. Once again, the moment the Operator is involved he works under him without skipping a beat. He knows she's gone, he drags Jay into it to stop him from searching further, or perhaps to be a magnet to finish the job of those who escaped before. Alex doesn't have any sort of alter ego. He remembers, he remembers everything. Perhaps he acts out of self preservation, but something else is going on. Alex starts to corrupt the footage just like the Operator, he seems to be able to call it to him and he approaches it, stands in it's wake unaffected. He's too far gone, maybe he always was.

All of this is to say, he is the villain of this story. He may eventually be defeated, but you could argue Tim gets better and moves on and never is a proxy again.

Alex should have, and should be viewed as a more scary person, with the likes of other creepypastas, because for all intents and purposes he was the Operator's favorite, and the one to carry out it's wants and to carry out it's actions. Hoodie and Masky disobeyed time and time again, Alex continued without question or remorse. Killing people not even involved with the story.

Just in terms of story, for the longest time Masky and Hoodie were side characters that popped up once every several entries. It wasn't until over half way through that Tim becomes a central character. Alex is always there. It's his story, it's his tapes, it is him who brought the Operator to them all over and over and over again, he is the main character with Jay as a narrator of things he has done. It all leads back to him.

Something something, i think 15 years is long enough to give this evil guy a bit of spotlight in his own story.

I have decided to break my vow of silence

I need to tell you guys about Carnage Obscured.

Guys... this is the Creepypasta comic dub series that I always wanted. My opening statement will be that if this had existed a year ago, I might not have felt the need to make my own creepypasta comic.

Almost everything I wanted to achieve in my own series is also being achieved in theirs. They portray Toby's Tourettes better, and in a way that was VERY similar to how I planned to portray some of his tics.

Not to mention the overall vibe and artstyle. The obvious inspirations from I Eat Pasta For Breakfast

The fact that Marble Hornets is LITERALLY CANON to all of this! Just LOOK at this panel!

LOOK AT IT!

So you already know that their Tim is more faithful to the series as well.

Look at the facial haaair

They also have pretty appealing OC design

Loving the vibe of this one.

and did I mention they have THEIR OWN FRIGGIN SOUNDTRACK!?!?!?!?

THEY GOT A FULL ON INTRO TOO

AND SCENE TRANSITIONS THAT ARE REMINISCENT OF THE ADULT SWIM BUMPERS!!!!

This is... honestly kind of emotional for me. This is almost everything I wanted for this community. It understands it's vibe, the source material, no, it actually really LIKES the source material and is making something super cool from it. The subtle references to both creepypasta and the slenderverse, the implementation of Rosswood park and the worldbuilding is... it's everything I wanted to bring in by continuing the story of Lazari.

I'm so glad this exists. It really shows you the true power of a community where the content is soully made by fans of the content itself.

I hope I can do the same with Hollowtown

Now... GO WATCH AND READ IT! IF YOU LIKED MY LAZARI STUFF CHANCES ARE YOU'LL LIKE THIS TOO

AND FOLLOW @frutigerangel

also, I discovered this series through a deep dive of Creepypasta comic dubs as a whole, a video I also recommend and... dude... Im in the video. Like for a split second, but Im in the video in the IEPFB rewrite portion! Here's a link to the video by @sp00kywashere while im here.

[crushedsweets]

spare me a fantasy crumb??.. i know they’re from marble hornets but Tim and Brian??

maybe as some sort of prophets???

oh my god finally i actually did it. i was fighting for my LIIIFE to finally draw these two. anyway ok yall know the drill i will ramble now

let me clarify that so many characters(including those who have nothing to do with her in canon) are deeply connected to Jane bc 1. she's the princess/queen 2. i need someone to connect the story 3. she's pretty and deserves to be the mc

ok so tims a knight. he climbs up the ranks despite wavering loyalty to the king and queen. he's prob like 40 something in this and watched princess jane grow up. im debating between him going rogue after jeffs attack, or if he has stronger loyalty towards jane since. yk. hes been protecting her since she was a baby and now she's so young and lost her parents and has an entire kingdom on her shoulders now.

regardless, he's always been doing shady shit as a knight, but he was always smart and strong and held up a great image to the public n the royals. decent guy

NOW BRIAN IS MORE FUN TO ME . he was an executioner. i have no real reasoning for this aside from the mask felt very very fitting. i was thinking id put him as an executioner under janes parents, since they'd be more cruel than her, But jane disassembles that bc its freaky and puts him as a knight, getting trained under tim.

although . . you mentioned prophets and i like that idea. maybe smth smth he was an executioner who always had these weird visions and stuff while chopping off heads. and he went to king n queen rambling shit and stuff. and they tell him to shut the fuck up but JANE LISTENED and REMEMBERED and went to him after her parents death and he got put into a brand new weird position. although, i cant really think of a reason Why jane would remember/care if he was just giving prophecies from the operator or something... maybe the operator was the one who got into jeffs head to lead the attack so brian said smth? idk.

maybe ill just make him an executioner prophet turned knight prophet. and obv the prophecies are on behalf of the operator. but jane would follow slender..SO WHO KNOWS

regardless u implanted a very wise thought into my head. im fond of this. thank uuuu

[tobi-smp]

well ! if I'm posting about my other interests ! have a little how-to guide for getting into marble hornets:

firstly, what is it.

that's an answer in two parts! it's a foundational indie horror web series on youtube that was beloved in its time for its mystery, atmosphere, and editing (pioneering or popularizing many of the techniques that you'll see more commonly now in the analogue horror genre, just with the budget of college students in 2009).

and it's remembered fondly Now for its fascinating representation of mental health (in how it subverts the harmful ways that horror tends to depict more stigmatized disorders, but Also in how it depicts mental and physical health in general), and the underlying queer themes that While subtext at the time have ultimately been confirmed as intentional as one co creators (and actor for the main character) has come out as bisexual!

it is Also a wildly creative and beautiful comic series. written solely by troy wagner (the aforementioned co-creator) and illustrated by jackie reynolds (a long time fan of the series and insanely talented illustrator). taking place after the events of the webseries, the comics take full advantage of this new visual medium to express the horror, atmosphere, and emotions of the series in a more visceral way. and being self published they're free to make whatever they'd like

done entirely in water color and ink, it builds beautifully on what was laid down with the original series and carves out its own identity and legacy.

it's also just very lovely seeing queer creators who were once writing subtext be able to just. Be Open about it. both about themselves and their characters. it's a horror story that happens to have queer characters mind, but it's just ! nice.

.

now ! being internet horror that's sat in that weird space between args and analogue horror (nightmind would call it Unfiction, but unfortunately that term hasn't caught on as much as I'd have liked) it's not as simple to get into as just like, Watching A Show.

that's not to say you Can't just watch it, but rather I have ways to help you get more out of it :>

1: The full chronological playlist for the marble hornets web series, including the totheark replies: [Link]

this is exactly what it says on the tin ! the entire series in order, I've even included the dvd extras at the end of each season !

two notes: firstly, the full series is captioned, and I think they're very nice captions! and secondly, there's a lot of loud noises in the series, which the captions help mitigate a bit. this is due in part to the nature of the kind of horror it is (though it doesn't have straight up jumpscares), but Also because troy wagner was HoH at the time he was doing the audio editing for the series.

there's significantly fewer issues with the audio as the series goes on (troy actually got surgery for his hearing!) but for the most part it's fine just keeping it Somewhat lower. except entry five. entry five is so very loud <3

.

2: The in-character twitter for jay merrick (the main character of marble hornets): [Link]

much like the youtube channel is presented as being ran by the main character/pov character of the series (jay merrick), the twitter was created to run along-side the main series! it mostly exists to give us further insight into jay's mental state and personal life that you don't get in the main series, especially early on!

it's a little cumbersome nowadays, especially since twitter doesn't Like being archival. but you kind of just have to scroll all the way to the bottom to when the twitter was created and scroll up to follow along jlkfasdjlkfdas

this is made a Little more difficult because the account got hacked in 2020 and reinstated 2021, so all of the dates are wrong now. but the account always posted when new entries were uploaded so it's easy to watch an entry, check what was posted after it was uploaded, and then see the link for the next entry and know to stop until you've watched.

you don't Have to do it this way, but I think it's the way to get the most out of it!

.

3: All of the translated codes for totheark/tta listed in order: [Link]

back in the day, youtube allowed you to make Video Replies, which would be displayed Under whatever video you were responding to! this feature was ultimately removed because of the tendency to do make clickbait in response to whatever was currently popular, but it was Wonderful in this instance !

the youtube channel and twitter were presented as in character, and they took advantage of this by having a second channel created (named totheark) start Replying to the entries as they were uploaded. these videos were highly edited and contained codes and secrets that were meant as messages to the main character (and the audience)!

there was a dedicated community for code breaking throughout the show's entire life, and this list here goes through every one! I like this one in particular because it Also gives us information on How the codes were broken, in a digestible way.

.

4: Nightmind's marble hornets explained series: [Link]

this is definitely Optional. it's obviously not official media, is outdated now that the comics have started, and I'd say was flawed even at its release. (it's not a spoiler if nobody knows what I'm talking about, so I'll say now that I'm not a fan of his theory with masky, and the seth theory is very famously silly).

BUT! I Do think it's a very good resource when it comes to putting certain crucial things together. as the whole point of the series is that it's a Mystery. you see nearly everything out of order and you're intentionally limited in what you know about characters and their motivations. this series works as a good jumping off point in that it helps to put things into Context and change your perspective on certain events and character With the benefit of said context!

like I said, it's not Required, it might just be helpful! a starting point to help chew on things once you've watched the web series in full for the first time.

.

Comics!: [Link]

comics ! they're all available on troy wagner's personal website! (along with other goodies that are periodically available!) you can buy them either physically Or digitally ! personally I'd recommend digital, as it's cheaper, instantly available, and the digital extras are wonderful!

they come with the script for the comics, a commentary version (including comments from troy and jackie on every page), and other extras like backgrounds, behind the scenes sketches, character art, etc!

I would very much so suggest buying the comics if you're interested. this is an indie project being ran and funded by two people (and again! there's other goodies in the store that are worth looking at). buttttttt, my friends may dm me <3

.

Extras! [Extras]

Anniversary streams [Link] on a few different anniversaries for the series several of the creators have done streams rewatching the series and reacting to it live ! this is a playlist where I've collected all of the instances that I could find :>

I Also included the dvd commentary here ! the format is different, but it's a similar concept so, why not ljkfsdajklfasd

.

Interviews, QnA's, and con appearances: [Link] exactly what it sounds like !

I was, at one point, overtaken by some kind of madness and hunted down for every single Person Records Marble Hornets Creators Talking About Marble Hornets thing I could find, and then attempted to put it in order. this is just ! for fun. I do so adore it though, I have one con panel that was recorded on someone's 3ds.

.

My silly posts:

some analysis posts I've main on my main account since having watched the series ! these all contain spoilers so I wouldn't suggest watching them until you've seen the show (though I Would suggest reading them if you do choose to watch the explained series)

this is my post going into what I think masky is supposed to be/represent, and why it's Important [Link] which I think pairs nicely with this post by tim sutton (one of marble hornet's actors) [Link]

my discussions on jay's mental health and behavior and how they're often misunderstood (which won't necessarily be needed if you've read through his twitter jlkfasdlkjafds) [Link 1, Link 2]

confirmation that jay is canonically queer :> [Link]

.

[gentleman-velvet]

One thing that has always interested me is Tim finding out about the marble hornets channel

(Other than the fact that it’s a really cool and interesting detail to add and makes the story feel more real)

I’m more interested in how did Tim watch those videos

Like, did Tim skim through them

Or did he just watch them completely

Did he have a bucket of popcorn to his side while watching it

[troywagner]

ive always wondered, how much say did you have in always watching: a marble hornets story?

Pretty much none, but that wasn’t a surprise for us.

[mla0]

Okay, here's a new and improved edition of what Fear / Dread Power I think slenderverse characters would be most influenced by, and potentially become avatars of. I'm going to list it by series and character, and try to give decent explanations for each. Also, some characters will have two listed, and this is generally a "and/or" scenario. They could potentially fit either one, so I list both. A lot of what I said in my last version of this will be reiterated, but some of my views have changed and I also just want to write it better.

Also not every character is going to be here, only the ones I've thought about. Anyways, onto it:

Marble Hornets:

Jay: I think Jay is tied to the hunt. In the past, I said that Jay was eye-aligned, but after thinking some more about it, what does Jay do through most of the series? He runs after people, tries to get to them over and over again, and gets erratic extremely quickly when he's left on his own and doesn't have a lead. He is always following after someone. I think he absolutely has eye qualities too, but I think his main drive would come from the hunt.

Tim: Tim I think would be Desolation aligned. I've seen a lot of Spiral headcanons, and I do understand them, but Tim's whole thing is to burn bridges and constantly start anew, as many times as he has to. I could see the interpretation that he's a very unwilling person who has been touched by the Spiral, however.

Alex: This guy is end-aligned, and I will die on this hill. I do not think he is slaughter aligned, and I do not think he is hunt aligned. Alex's entire character revolves not around violence, not around the chase, but by the inevitability that it all needs to end for everything to stop. People only need to die in his mind because of the spread of the Operator, and thus it comes from needing a finality, needing everything to finally end. When he is killed, right before he dies he doesn't say anything about being angry, or trying to strike at Tim again. He accepts it, and he simply tells Tim to end his own life, (mostly) completing Alex's mission to completely kill off the spread.

[The Operator / Slenderman is, in my view, a mix of the Eye and the Spiral. I'm sure you can imagine why this is. Also, I'm not sure where I stand on Brian and Jessica, so they don't have their own entries. I think Brian could be Stranger aligned, and Jessica could maybe be Lonely aligned?]

-

EverymanHYBRID:

Vinny: Is it even a question? Vinny is eye-aligned. He is the Voyeur, he watches people and what they do to see what will happen next. He started off with good intentions, before it slowly devolved in him just keeping tabs on everything, while still being convinced that he's the good guy because he has to be.

Evan: I think Evan would be most marked by the slaughter, though possibly not enough to become an avatar. He does have an affinity with weapons, gore flicks and slasher films, and he's also the quickest to fly into a rage and attack whatever the threat around them is, taking charge and becoming willing to get violent if it means protecting others.

Jeff: Jeff is a tricky one, but I think he'd be Buried. Jeff has been traumatized by fire- by the desolation. His entire life is marked by sudden, tragic loss, and he is the Guardian who only wants to protect people. He would try his best to hold people in, hold them close and try to figure everything out, but is ultimately manipulated by HABIT to go to Evan's house, when he really should have run away.

Steph: Steph, I think, would be desolation. Her life was also marked by loss, but instead by things that represent the Buried; floods, drowning, and constant pressure. She would lean into acts of loss to let things go, like when she burned down her own house. I think Steph and Jeff in this scenario would be counterparts, both marked by the opposite fear, and leaning into opposite things.

HABIT: This guy is the web. He manipulates the story, often in the background, to get things to go his way. He lies, he pushes people to their limits using whatever information he can, and he can get people to do whatever he wants if he knows how to push their buttons. Yes, he likes violence and death and everything, but I think that's moreso just a flavoring to his much deeper, more long-term intentions, which is control. Honestly, I think in an AU, since the Web is said to be the only sentient Fear, I think HABIT could be the web itself.

[Vinny, being an Eye avatar, was able to be easily manipulated by someone who controls what you can see or proceed to do, as well as telling him that he's good no matter what he does, that he just wants to save people while he's being voyeuristic. Vinny and Evan have conflict because one just wants to stand back and watch, the other is a go-getter and wants to get shit done. Steph and Jeff, at first, also naturally dislike each other because they're near perfect opposites, but this eventually becomes complementary.]

-

MLAndersen0:

Michael: Michael is the Buried, and/or possibly the Corruption. Michael wants to keep everybody close, but doesn't really have a plan of what to do after that. He's afraid of being manipulated, of being lied to, of not being trusted, and all he wants is connection and safety. So, he draws people in, but doesn't really know what to do after that point besides huddle around in a sort of metaphorical "bunker," and hope everything works out. He does not like risk, he does not like leaving the safety net he desperately needs, and he is terrified of being left on his own, making him a little ""clingy,"" but for entirely understandable reasons.

Shaun: Shaun is the Dark, and/or possibly the Vast. Shaun is afraid of the truth, so she does not face it. She hides behind a veneer that would look very similar to someone who is Eye aligned, but it's only out of fear and denial. She is canonically afraid of the dark. She is distant, she doesn't get emotionally close to people and is very closed up in terms of talking about anything personal, as though she could be in a room next to you, but feels like she's miles away. Shaun is terrified of the unknown, of what would happen if she accepted everything, if she went with Michael, if she listened to Patrick. She likes to be alone, to drift, and eventually, likes representing that distance and unknown within herself, through the two fears.

Patrick: Patrick is the Stranger. A lot of his appeal comes from pretending to be Michael when it's convenient, and you never know which one it is unless they tell you. He has a big personality and is very hyperbolic, but some of that is just for show. He likes to put on a performance, an act, to try to steer things into a favorable outcome. He is afraid of getting close to the others, thinking he'll only be rejected in the future.

[Shaun's fear alignment is nearly opposite to Michael's, so he has a hard time understanding her. They get into frequent conflict over opposing needs and views, and they both have utterly petrifying fears of things that the other represents. Michael has agoraphobia (fear of big open spaces), and Shaun has claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces).

I think Michael and Shaun are victims of both the eye and the spiral, but in very different ways. Shaun is much more afraid of exposure, of knowing, of the truth, and so she is its ideological opposite (the dark). Her fear of the spiral isn't entirely realized, and it's much more metaphorical; I think she's terrified of not being normal, and of being "crazy," so she tries to repress and imitate normality. It shows through as her repressing mental illness, which only takes her down a darker path (pun intended.) Michael meanwhile I think was more directly affected by the Spiral, and is much less afraid of the eye compared to Shaun. Everything about him has already been ripped apart and exposed by doctors. He's much more afraid of being misled, of being lied to, and other more direct manifestations of the spiral, but he might still have a bit of fear in regards to being watched or eye imagery.

Stormy and Eric don't have a lot of characterization, but if I had to give them anything, I think Stormy would be Lonely aligned (hid in her apartment, seemed scared to open up or talk to people but still wanted human connection, isolation from the institutionalization. also she kinda reminds me of martin lol.), and Eric would be Spiral aligned (he literally uses someone's mental illness against them, like we see Spiral-aligned doctors do to a patient later on in TMA, in season 5. he would gladly gaslight you and tell you you're insane to make you incredibly disoriented and confused. he has done this before, in fact.)]

[rainrot4me]

reminder for you to take a break girlll😭😭😭 close ur requests we can wait🫶🫶

Random, but where did u get most of ur creepypasta lore from? Like with emh and marble hornets its straight forward but with the others it becomes way more vague yk

i’m okay i promise!! i’ll definitely close if i get overwhelmed lol

but in terms of getting lore (keep in mind i was 11/12 at the time i found creepypasta and just rolled with whatever information i was given regardless if it was lore accurate or not) but i got into the fandom through watching Jordan Persegati’s speed drawings on youtube. i was a huge animation meme kid so getting to watch someone draw while he told their story was so entertaining for me i watched practically every video he put out and still watch some till today. were they lore accurate? idk but i believe every word that man said and still base some of my writing off of what i know through his videos. i have since actually read the original stories and freshened up on the wiki pages, but those videos will always be my basis for getting into this hell hole of a fandom lolol

[sundanceritz]

i watched Jane Schoenbrun's A Self-Induced Hallucination, an experimental documentary about the slender man. that's a topic i thought about a lot as a child. i wrote a little something about this film for letterboxd, that i will now reproduce here.

and there really was something in the woods, yeah

somehow, against all odds, the definitive word on this subject, on a subject that resists ever having a definitive word said on it. the slender man epilogues. the patching up of the psychic wound

where do you go, as a community, from the stabbing? everymanhybrid slowly ambled its way to a conclusion that really had nothing to do with the big guy anymore, and all the power to it - tribetwelve and its creator fizzled out of existence immediately when he was accused of, and admitted to, various breaches of consent. (he now works as an optometrist.) darkharvest … did end fairly recently actually, so who knows what's up with that. i assume nobody is doing blogs anymore, since nobody would know they exist or how to find them - with the exception, of course, of jordan dooling, who will never stop

but, like, more than just confronting a real-world traumatic event… it was also proof that the community had been outmoded. the psychic core of slender man simply did not exist within the circles of independent filmmakers and amateur writers that built it up, it existed within a dubious network of junk data, of the rumors of children in comment sections and iphone videos. adam rosner's slick editing work has nothing on the fact that slender man apparently owns a mansion now. obviously in any adult interpretation he doesn't, but in real life, he has to, because the people who think he has a mansion were the people who were actually being affected by him in real life. clearly their interpretation is the most potent one

by the time this happened, even "the slender man is a tulpa and thus all artworks self-reflect him onto reality" had become too obvious an interpretation. the ability to point to cases like these and say, see, he's growing in power like we always said! were still ultimately dead ends. because he was growing in power, but you can't redirect it onto an eraserhead-inspired amateur youtube series, because it's a different kind of horror now. it's a horror that does not grow a fiction but dissipates it, makes it impossible to find a way to continue it. it's a horror that grows around a fiction, rendering all of it futile. one must imagine slender man happy

and that's the only real way out, isn't it? as a child, i thought any sympathetic interpretations of the slender man were going to take away the anonymous unknowable menace of the simple potent image of "the childhood friend who wasn't quite human". i couldn't entertain them. he was a lovecraftian, absurdist horror - not "slenderman", but "the slender man". he was the upsetting memory you can't quite remember, the troubling presence in your childhood. i wanted to preserve this interpretation, tinged with an adult menace that i couldn't actually understand yet

but as time goes on, i've become more and more resistant to the idea that he kills anyone. he certainly doesn't directly kill anyone in marble hornets et al. other people do the killing in reaction to him, in proxymity to him, they are driven against eachother because they cannot understand the frightening situation they are in. video games like slender can simulate the part where you run away, but they give the wrong idea, as if these stories are at any point ABOUT that part - that they are about a guy Who Gets You. a boogeyman, a slasher villain. someone who might want you to sacrifice someone to him

no, in the end, the sympathetic interpretation is the proper one - that is to say, the ONLY possible one, the only way to ever end this story. (certainly injuring him didn't work, when the bloggers tried that.) the healing of the wound is to accept that the slender man never meant anyone harm. the healing of the wound is to let him go - not as a failed creepypasta, an embarrassing and regrettable part of internet history, but as our childhood imaginary friend who was vital to our growth. he was with us every step of the way - in our photos, our tapes. he really was always watching

and there really was something in the woods, yeah

Proxies Headcanons! [Puppet Strings Lore Dump]

Hey! I have an unfortunate confession to make; I used to really like Fanon Masky when I was like 9 years old. Thankfully I finally watched Marble Hornets and realised what the fuck I'd been missing out. I used to love Fanon Toby too but maybe about two years ago I completely rewrote him after a sudden change of heart.

Did Hoody even have a fanon? I don't think he had a personality beyond being Masky's best friend. That's unfortunate seeing as how he's my favourite one out of the pair.

Anyways, the Proxies have always been such an interesting concept to me. I know that they don't exist in canon, but seriously it's an entertaining thing to imagine a sitcom between the Proxies and Slenderman.

So, without further ado, let's get into it!

Proxies Headcanons

-The 'Proxies' are the employees (only slaves like 50% of the time) of the Slenderman. They do have a greater purpose for being 'hired'; to serve as human energy for the Operator to feed off of. That's why the MOST unstable ones get picked to be proxies, since he feeds off of trauma and emotional energy.

-They do get paid, but only when the Slenderman takes over. Sadly he's aware of why they're here but accepts the fact that there's nothing he can really do about it since the Operator's fed on them so much that they'll basically die if they stop being Proxies (if the Operator doesn't kill them first). It's a lose-lose situation, unfortunately.

-As I said prior; they're the most mentally unstable in the whole Mansion. There are six of them; Rouge, X-Virus/Cody, Kate, Masky/Tim, Hoody/Brian, and Toby. Rouge is the oldest (due to the fact that in her original story she was almost married and almost a mother), and Toby is the youngest.

-Many of the Residents avoid them, especially Masky and Hoody. As they're the most well-known Proxies, they're generally known for being violent and ill-mannered towards others besides each-other and Toby. Although they get closer to everyone eventually, most of the residents heavily disliked them when they first arrived.

-Slender has no idea how they got here, although he has an idea of why they could be here. He's got no idea what happened to Toby, Kate, Rouge, or what the hell a Marble Hornets is. No matter how many times they explain what Slender supposedly did to them, he just doesn't remember as Charles wasn't conscious when it happened.

Although (I believe, its been a while) Marble Hornets take place in 2006, they sort of departed from the Labrinth and returned in 2009 after Masky and Hoody find themselves homeless and basically just drug addicts. They put up with Slender as they have no other place to turn to.

-They mainly go on Political Missions; such as assassinating a target in the Underworld, or they kill actual people in the real world. These usually consist of people who get too close to finding out about the Pastas, cultists, and basically just any random target Slender picks out for them.

-They're sort of their own family, as they share rooms in the same corridor which is quite far away from the other Residents. Rouge actually has her own home, but the other four live in the Mansion.

-They all magically have access to drugs. Nobody knows and nobody asks why, but whenever they need a fix, all they need to do is go to Hoody's room and pay $5.

-Speaking of Hoody, he has selective mutism, and even then he rarely talks. He only verbally communicates with the other Proxies, and doesn't speak to anyone else at all. Sometimes he'll randomly chime in to a conversation Toby and Masky are having and laugh as the two jump.

He's just a bit of a goofy guy, really.

-Wondering why I'm exclusively calling them Masky and Hoody? Well, I know it's sort of implied that Tim and Brian have DID and that Masky and Hoody are simply their alter egos, but in this AU they're more like personas that the Operator made up for them. He didn't like how disobedient Tim and Brian are, so when the Operator takes over he personally remolds their personalities so that they're more subservient. It sounds confusing but I'm trying

-I'm going to make a separate post for Tim and Brian, but a little backstory is that the two of them have known each other since Kindergarten and have grown up together since. They're best friends and their bond is just so strong that nobody can ever really come between them.

Although they're seen hanging out with Toby a lot, Toby is aware of the fact that Tim and Brian are the original duo.

-Masky is the unofficial group leader of the Proxies, and everyone else just kind of accepts that. He's a cool guy and does know how to take charge, however he's always incredibly rebellious to the Slenderman's orders, which leaves Toby to step up every time they fuck up real bad.

-Slenderman sometimes accompanies them. He doesn't help, he just watches from a corner and sometimes jumps out at them to scare them. It's a favourite pass time of his. He will help them out on occasion, as keep in mind he is a low-level God.

-Dr. Smiley and Nurse Ann's makeshift Hospital is basically their second home. Since they get injured so much on all of their missions (totally not due to Masky going against the direct orders), they often all come together to get treated with whatever nasty injury they get from their most recent endeavour.

-Hoody and Slender, both people who don't talk very often, easily understand each other. It's sort of an inside joke that they can telepathically talk to each other. It's basically the only form of a relationship they have considering Hoody's very wary of him.

-Masky hates cheesecake. And crayons. And children. And Slenderman (although when it's Charles they're relationship is a bit better). The Masky in this AU would fucking HATE fanon Masky.

Cheesecake is Masky's least favourite food. He'd rather eat a pile of dog shit. Lazari thought this was funny and made sure to include a panel of him eating Cheesecake in every comic that she makes.

I'll get some more later! Hope you enjoyed ;)

what’s kate’s relationship with tim like??

pretty bad!

ok so. in my au, kate became a proxy at age 13 in 2008. tim was infected his entire youth, but 'masky' was developed at 21 in 2010 and became an official proxy at 23 in 2012. sooooo..

of all the different people tormenting Tim in the events of marble hornets, Kate was one of them. that one scene where he'd on the forest floor screaming and grabbing at the dirt and getting dragged around, I imagined Kate did stuff like that to him a lot. a 15 year old girl violently torturing some 21 yr old dude .... dragging him around and shattering his windows and beating his car with a rock and shoving pills down his throat and hell on earth in general.

so when he eventually submits to slendy and has to work WITH kate, he cannot stand her. she was apart in ruining his life, and at this point in the story, she is off putting. doesn't ever talk to him, makes noises, has been caught just sifting through corpses, always covered in grime, has never once took off her mask, etc.

he'd snap at her all the time, push her out of the way, grumble about how nasty she is, this and that. i think when toby comes along and gently befriends kate like a feral cat, tim would start to realize she's. just some girl. she's definitely gross and animalistic and cruel, but because of toby bringing her to the cabin, he's watched her scream and cry in agony as slendy punishes her. she claws at the floor and her skin and begs someone to put a bullet in her brain and she looks SO young and so scared and it'd be a massive reality check for tim.

and of course, kate would have strong distaste for tim as well. he's not nice to her, and she does not extend her trust easy. even when tim reels back and is gentler towards her, kates silent, cold, and standoffish. she'll never acknowledge her wrongs and the torture she put him through(albeit forcefully), but she isn't exactly.. mean? to him? he'll say goodmorning and she'll just watch him behind her mask. toby walks in and says goodmorning, and kate says goodmorning. tim's like damn ok .

i don't think they ever fully reconcile for what happened between them... im still deciding how i want tim and brian to ditch town, and if i want them to try and make amends cuz they were such outsiders to the main cast and often viewed the rest as worse than themselve... much to consider
