I hope izzy gets her "I <3 my slut dad" baby onesie <33

[speni-4]

ok ok so these are like 11pm melatonin induced ramblings but bare with me pls

(ive included different options for a few characters/put down masky/hoody/skully as separate entities to their hosts but just roll w it ok??)

ok so

alex/wilbur:

- they both have the super pretentious theatre kid/film student vibes

-arg!wil and operator!alex have super similar energy chaotic evil energy

-moves to america after giving jay tapes and meets amy/shubble there

(both ran!jay and tommy!jay fly to america and hotel hop while searching for wil)

jay/ranboo:

-is helping wil/alex pack up to move when he finds the tapes and asks to keep them (for gen loss)

-originally gen loss was supposed to be a horror project but turns into the MH channel; hence why no one takes what he’s posting about the operator and wilbur seriously

-ran gives off the vibes that he absolutely would do some of the dumb shit jay does

jay/tommy-

-helped wil film originally (while he was still living with his parents) and convinced wil to let him keep the tapes after wil tells him he plans to destroy them

-finds the tapes a few years after wil moved to america and tommy is packing up to move out to brighton

-starts reviewing footage for the nostalgia and creates MH channel to document and to reunite with wilbur

tim/niki:

-both are the only competent and level-headed members of the group

-gives off the vibes that theyre the only person who can actually hold down a job and live a vaguely normal/regulated life despite all the crazy shit happening

-both have tragic hero vibes (mental illness based but not in a glorifying or degrading way; iykyk 🤷‍♂️)

brian/jack:

-close friend of wil and tim (separately before filming)

-auditioned to act in MH and convinced niki to as well

-levity of the group

the operator/smajor:

for 2 reasons-

1) because he’s e v i l

and 2) the thought that, instead of the gang(tm) being stalked and driven to insanity/paranoia by a 7ft tall, faceless eldritch being, theyre being harrassed by fucking scott smajor is so unbelievably amusing to me. like. just imagine the tunnel/school/forest scenes with scott instead of the operator and tell me that isnt the funniest shit youve ever visualised

jessica/aimsey:

- (nblw / nblm solidarity w ran/jay👌)

-used to be roommates with amy (shubble) in alabama and didnt understand why they were worried when amy vanished

- would absolutely uno reverse wil during the tunnel scene in entry 76 (doesnt matter if hes a foot taller then them, aimsey would absolutely fucking topple that guy)

- despite being super disoriented/confused and not having their memories, they absolutely would catch onto jay’s (either tom or ran) weird vibes and that he was hiding something from them

seth/elodie:

-self-explanatory; wil’s cameraman and co-editor as well as another film student at their college

-first to disappear/become wil’s victim

-(obligatory “you brought your dog?!” dot point)

amy/shubble:

-self-explanatory characterisation-/story-wise tbh

-met wil online before MH was even conceptualised

-ex-roommates with aimsey/jessica (in alabama)

sarah/rhianna:

-both have the vibes that they would absolutely rip the shit out of wil if he was an asshole during filming MH (both teamed up w niki and individually)

-became somewhat close with niki during filming as they got along super well but stopped interacting after filming ended

masky/niki:

- for obvious story reasons (see: tim/niki)

-muscle of the TTA group

-would not hesitate to bludgeon a mans head in with a rock (loml fr)

masky/tom (prime):

-(the dude with the ski mask from the prime video streams)

- both non-verbal muscle of the group

hoody/ash:

-silent observer who documents everything

-imagine TTA but its literally just the monthly vlogs (without any of the cryptic editing or codes)

hoody/jack:

-i feel like this one is sorta self-explanatory

also!!

either skully/ran or skully/tommy just make sense for the vibes

Has anyone done a marble hornets au or assigned roles for JackManifold and his friends? Dude has been watching the series and I don’t think I’ve seen any au’s or putting these streamers in slender man esq scenarios.

I don’t have a list but Jack is either Alex or is Jay only if Niki is Jessica, purely for the team rocket duo.
