#do i tag this as marble hornets?

[mla0]

Wait. How are Tim and Brian not proxies? Isn't that literally where the term came from??? /gen

well it's simple really. a proxy is someone who follows slenderman, right? whether by choice, or by being brainwashed into it. if i remember it right, anyways. tim and brian very clearly do not follow or align with the operator in marble hornets, and are in fact mere victims of it who are trying to stop someone who is much more in line with a classical idea of a proxy: alex kralie.

now, i wouldn't necessarily call alex a "proxy" either, since proxy to me is more of a creepypasta term, but... he fits the definition much more. though even that is kinda dubious. idk if the operator is actually controlling him, or if he's just obsessed with killing everyone as some kind of mercy to STOP the operator. maybe both... that aspect of his character was never perfectly clear to me, and maybe it wasn't meant to be. either way though, alex isn't just like, some guy who loves the operator and is his buddy. in the wise words of joseph delage himself, alex was a victim. i think all "proxies" or proxy-adjacent folks would be

if i had to think of any slenderverse depiction that to ME is closest to how i'd see a proxy, it'd be the collective for sure. they're like, a weird hivemind who follow the administrator (tribetwelve's term for slenderman), and have a very difficult time breaking away from it. even if they wanted to, if they tried they'd almost certainly die. i think the observer once said he stays in the collective out of fear (?) which i found interesting. they're almost like the administrator's arms, doing its dirty work and communicating more clearly to noah than it could itself as its little hivemind underlings. the collective is very proxy-like to me from what i remember of proxies....

but basically yeah. fandom masky and hoody are proxies obviously, but the original guys that they're based on aren't. i think people just thought they were early into the series, developed a creepypasta spin-off of them, and at this point are pretty much entirely separate characters, even down to appearance besides the masks themselves

First time posting on Tumblr idk what I’m doing (I love Jam though 👍)

Marble hornets x Slendermansion AU but instead of Hoodie and Masky being proxies they also live in a small cabin in the same woods and are constantly trying to sabotage the creeps plans. Hoodie learns Jeff is supposed to kill some random family and follows him there to purposely set the home security system off and Masky jumps out of the closet and tackles Jeff. They all run away to their own homes afterwards when the cops are called. The Operator/Slenderman could put a stop to it if he so pleased, but finds the shenanigans amusing.

my little hornets

alex's is so small because that's my fav image of him smiling i could find and i cropped it to fit and it was like 2 rats squared

i think pinkie pie would fit brian and fluttershy would fit jay too

tim character animation practice! this took a lot longer than it shouldve

when first getting back into marble hornets last month a huge inspiration was the lovely @sickhoondr and their style of drawing the characters, so a huge thank you for the fantastic art 🐟 💙 and making me want to make these silly moving pictures

hopefully i can make more of these but this took a while HAHA

Here's some different versions and progress for anyone thats curious:

from storyboards to final, i hope you guys enjoy the little animation haha. more to come, so as always stay tuned
