#tribetwelve inspired

[lonelinessmademecrazy]

I think it'd do you a favor to look up EveryManHYBRID, TribeTwelve, and MLAndersen00

I’ve tried already (someone dmed me saying this exact thing) the results on every site I used came up empty. Unless those are the titles of some really niche archive of our own fanfics, I don’t think those titles belong to any existing media.

[gaylex-gaylie]

Let’s talk about the Slenderverse Symbol and it's origin.

TW for talk of Adam Rosner & TribeTwelve.

The Slenderverse Symbol shown above has been in use in the fandom for years, but many people don’t know where it came from. So, what’s up with it?

The symbol was originally posted to Deviantart on April 14th, 2011 by a user I hate to mention. “TheNimbus,” also known as Adam Rosner. Obviously, he’s a really shitty dude! That’s why at least I have grown a hatred for this symbol. It’s honestly pretty shitty looking anyway, of course that fucker made the severance symbol biggest.

Over the years I’ve been in plenty of spaces where a slenderverse symbol would be fun to use as an icon, emote, banner, all that shit. So eventually, not wanting to use Adam’s shitty symbol, me and my friends came up with our own.

The New [Old Gen] SlenderSymbol! 

AKA The Anti-Rosner Symbol!

[Feel free to use it with or without credit!]

[Scratchy symbols made by us!]

[Smooth symbols made by @vampiricarchivist!]

[Pixels / Favicons made by us!]

Some stuff was moved around around and inspiration was taken from some older SlenderSymbols, and we came up with this bad boy. It’s still kind of shitty looking, but at least it’s not Rosner!

The Operator Symbol is now the biggest just by proxy of influence, importance and popularity. Despite the Severance Symbol being the, y’know, Severance Symbol I felt like I had to keep it in just due to the relevance it did serve to gen one. This is in no way a pro-Rosner symbol though. I mean, I made this thing out of spite.

I may end up making some sort of New Gen symbol at some point since it turns out symbol making is actually really fun, so look out for that! Have fun with this symbol!

[do-you-know-this-pasta]

This is the "do you know this Creepypasta character" poll! Because I am just genuinely curious about how many modern Tumblr users know certain Creepypasta characters. Inspired strongly by @who-do-i-know-this-man and @haveyouplayedthisgame-poll

Characters will generally be chosen by the blog mod, but suggestions on who to do a poll on next are welcome through the askbox!

RULES:

Only characters are being put through polls. Ex. the Russian Sleep Experiment won't be a poll, but a character from the story could be

Slenderverse characters (Marble Hornets, TribeTwelve, etc.) will generally not be included due to most of them not being considered Creepypasta

Characters whose creators stated they aren't Creepypasta and/or don't want to be associated with Creepypasta won't have a poll (this includes Ticci-Toby, Clockwork, and Laughing Jill)

No duplicate polls! This includes multiple versions of the same character (ex. Jeffrey Hodek and Jeffrey Woods would not be separate, they're both considered Jeff the Killer)

Fanart will not be used on polls unless literally no official image of the character can be found

There is no FAQ right now because I don't think it's needed, but one may be added if I get enough questions.

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

Who's your favorite character to write?

What were your inspirations for Lonely Darkness?

Interesting questions. I love questions regarding my projects

The answer to the first question is probably obvious. Paxter and Emily. But of the two, I like Paxter better. He is a very interesting character in terms of development and I want to describe him from the best side in the reboot of Lonely Darkness

Actually, a lot of things inspired me to do this. First I met the comic and the author @wood-tribetwelve and started my own TikTok. Then I found out about other Slenderverse series. And already on TikTok I found information about younger series in this universe. In particular, I was inspired by the project @fishymom-art . This helped me become a little bolder and create Lonely Darkness,although initially there was no script at all

[starwalkers-ocs]

So, there's gonna be some stuff happening over on Diana's blog. It's (@g0dki11er for anyone interested)

I'm very tempted to make Diana's blog a Slenderverse inspired blog. (Fun fact, that's where he originated! Although her lore is completely separate and it's own thing, making it a Slenderverse blog would make life a little easier to explain how and why different events play out the way they do.)

If I do, Slenderman themselves probably won't show up, but it would take place in the universe where all of the main Slenderverse ARGs took place. (EverymanHYBRID, TribeTwelve, MLAndersen0, ect.)

Knowing these ARGs wouldn't be necessary, and I'm mostly just going to use it a way to keep the story moving.

I was just wondering how people felt about it.

[leechinfestedheart]

I am so totally not planning and making my own like YouTube horror serieshaahaaaa Soooooo not inspired by EMH and tribetwelve I promise guys I am so normal

[thegreatest-fucking-show]

so my art blog followers may have seen that i discovered a cool animation software recently... i can make fun, short animated gifs within 50 frames, and i’m having so much fun with it! just wanted to ask, if i make another, would you guys prefer tribetwelve or everymanhybrid?

the sun was once bright

against our faces, and smiles luminated in the summer

the moon was once soft

and it brought joy, comfort. the soft tones of mother earth were our pride and joy. the leaves that spun around our ankles during the fall was once a call to venture rather than run

now all i see

are faces of nothing, and i can only feel the blood that runs down my nose, warm and my body catatonic. my hands and feet are numb with pins and needles, and my head is filled with static. comfort comes from of the eyes of the camera watching over me. they help me understand im not insane, but it's a catch 22, because i know i can't deny it anymore.

the sun is now

nothing but a facade, for night and day do not exist. time is a looping of events rather than progression foward. everything is beyond what we can comprehend. the shadows now have mouths and they can speak, and they have spoke. i can feel the spit of the demons from the eighth layer dust my ankles, and i can't hear my own breath.

but i can hear your heartbeat, despite being alone

[lonelinessmademecrazy]

You said you've been writing down (or rather, typing up) whatever comes to your head when you first wake up. Would you be comfortable sharing some of the things you've written?

Sure, I see no harm in that. Some of the dates are a bit off due to me forgetting what days I had or had not accounted for.

Also, this will probably have a “read more” section bc this is LONG.

7/11/24

I fucking hate fast food, oh my god

7/12/24

My thoughts get louder at night. Just when I think things are changing.

Bacon jerky

7/24/24

Something claws from deep within, begging for just a taste. Just a drop, a shred, a chunk, a bite.

I don’t want to eat that. That’s gross. But my brain tells me otherwise.

7/25/24

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet

A pawn and a king

7/26/24

How many lives did they truly live? How many times did they all repeat that same, vicious cycle.

An observer
