Slenderman Mythos Discussion Thread
« on: July 05, 2014, 07:07:52 am »
Considering that the last Slenderman thread hasn't been posted in around 3 years, I decided to start a new one.
For the unenlightened, a quick rundown of Slenderman;
Slenderman is an urban legend originating from a Something Awful contest called 'Create Paranormal Images'. He was created by the user Victor Surge, who posted 2 images as well as a piece of writing detailing the kidnapping of children and subsequent burning down of a, if memory serves correctly, library which supposedly contained those images. This was expanded by various SA users, who among other images photoshopped a woodcut that originally depicted a Skelton kidnapping a child. The skeleton was modified to be abnormally tall with long limbs.
Slenderman, at least nowadays, appears as a tall faceless man in a business suit and tie. He has been attributed several powers in the various works he is depicted in. Thes include, but are not limited to;
Teleportation
Growing several tentacle-like appendages
Inducing 'Slender Sickness', which causes the victim to become abnormally paranoid as 1 of it's effects.
He also appears in the Fear Mythos, representing the fear of strangers in most depictions.

....Uh. Remember when I posted in the terrified thread about when I was in the mountains and found one of the pages walking back to my cabin with a phone light in the middle of the night? Pretty certain I'm being stalked.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

The last Slenderman thread isn't dead, it's been a constant Slenderman discussion forum, the only thing is, we can't see the posts being made by Slendermen....

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Clearly the best solution to SLENDERMAN infestation is to perform a flying tackle to the mofo then follow it up with multiple chair shots to the head

Anyone remember that rip off movie someone made, called Tall Man? It was an actual movie. Not somekind of youtube slenderman documentary. It was literally a movie. And it's name is not like an abbreviation or a metaphore to Slendy. It's just a movie about the Tall Man who steals children. Talk about being original. The tall man steals children too and he is tall. Who else steals children and is tall? Oh yeah, Slendy. Who came first? Oh yeah. Slendy. Get inspiration and be original people.
