 		Did anyone else see this linked to the new neveSnellaF video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nRU5RIDWXU

I swear I am not joking with this. This was actually linked to Phone Call & Goodbye Forever

Never have I thought I would see The Sound of Music mix in with a slender series. It's fucked up

 		I've been thinking... what if the angel inside of Michael is slowly becoming corrupt? I mean, it looks like the demons could easily take him. There has to be something or someone else at the root of all this.

SHIT. IF MITCHELL AND STEVE ARE... LIKE THAT THEN... WHAT IF MICHAEL GETS TAKEN AND TURNS INTO A PROXY.

Maybe that's why Steve was in the latest FallenSeven video. Maybe he and Michael are gonna switch places...

 		you're next Discussion:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So, Mitchell Forbes is alive and a psycho killer; Zak's either going to be or has been killed; the entire bulk of events that occurred on FallenSeven, minus neveSnellaF, was pulled from Michael Hale's "Sacrifice of Hayden Cowell" script that Slenderman turned into a reality; and Mitchell had the script Zak was looking for in The Return of Michael Hale.

Also, Mitchell hints that he was proxied by Slenderman once prior to Michael, and uses clips from 004.avi to show that he did stalk Michael during the shooting of his film project. So, did Mitchell cause all of this to happen to Michael or was Michael unlucky enough to get picked?

And finally, Mitchell claims that he has no idea what caused the visuals that showed Michael being possessed by an Angel. He claims that perhaps Michael was saved by a divine intervention. So was Slenderman creating the "Sacrifice of Hayden Cowell" movie before the divine intervention or after the divine intervention? It makes more sense with the latter, IMHO, but this is really confusing now thanks to this new video

It's definitely interesting theat Mitchel decides to explain everything then basically says 'I have no idea' about the angel thing. It shows there's more than just one player in this game going on here. While Mitchell is happy to claim this is Slendy's world and we all just bow down to him in it, the idea there's more to it then that has promise. If I didn't believe this series was about to end any time now, I'd look forward to a grand chess game here.

The idea that slendy picked Michael as a proxy after the divine intervention is kinda fun. It would show ambition on Slendy's part to not only want a proxy, but one way more powerful than any other regular human proxy could be. That's a good story. Of course....why even have the divine intervantion if Michael wasn't in trouble yet. I suppose at that point Mitchell could have been the proxy, and the angel was trying to save Michael from Mitchell, and Slendy saw this and dropped Mitchell like a hot potato for his new crush.

As for the specifics...it hurts my head to try to figure them out. Did Slender turn Michael Hale into Hayden Cowel so that he'd only know the script-world? Did the angel adapt that name because it was in the script? Did Michael just have a psychotic break and used that identity to explain what was going on. I'm not sure we'll ever find out.

Who killed David and Steven's family? David and Steven? Are (were?) they shells too? Mitchell? Who got rid Michael's sister? Michael killed her? Has Michael basically been a proxy since day 1?

If the goal is to use technology to spread the word, why kill off the witnesses or allow people related to those affected to be killed and removed from this plane of existance? You figure you'd want Slenderman appearing on the 50 yard line of the Super Bowl at kick off or something. The more people who knew the better. It almost looks like Mithcell is now trying to stop slendy by killing the people who know about him, because he's crazy? Spurned? Jealous?

And who is Damon and what did he want in this whole thing? The thing that was posessing David and supposedly brought Michael back to life. Was that part of Slendy's plan too? Or did some angel fall to earth, some demon decide to mess with him and then halfway through this story Slendy showed up to start trying to take over. Or was Damon in Michael's storyand so Slendy posessed David to play the part of Damon who then warned Michael about the 'demon set loose to hunt him' which was him?

But then again, if there's really an angel in this story that's not playing by the 'rules', why can't there really be a demon in it too?

Head...hurts...must...lie...down....

 		TOO DAMN LONG
Grab a snack or go to the bathroom. This is my thoughts and opinions on this series. It might answer
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the video, Mitch says that those close to the main target are susceptible to become influenced to kill like he was. So, I don't think Steve and David are shells of what they once were like Mitchell is, but they can be easily coerced into killing mode. From that notion, it is hinted, yes, that Steve and David did dispatch their families, just like Mitch did to his. As for Molly, I originally thought she was taken or just erased from existence by Slenderman, but now you bring up an interesting point that perhaps off-screen Michael did dispatch his family. I don't think Michael was a proxy from day 1, though. If he was, the series would have ended short. More on this as you read. (Hopefully)

As for the divine intervention, look back at the recap on neveSnellaF. Zak mentioned there's distortion in "The Glitch" video, which took place prior to the 4th of July incident. So in May of 2014, Slender stalked Mitch. Mitch tried to off himself, got sent to a mental hospital, and then Slender began stalking Michael in June and July of 2014, hence the distortion. Come July 4th, divine intervention.

Mitchell said the Prophecy is fake, and he has no idea about Angels, and calls it a divine intervention. The prophecy may be fake, but that doesn't mean there's any truth to it. 7 Angels falling and clinging onto mortals is fake, yes. But Angels themselves aren't, as this series suggests. A fallen angel is considered a demon, and possession/Demon movies have shown (at least to me) that they can drain the life out of their vessel. So perhaps the Angel that tried to save Michael was so powerful that upon contact, it killed him instantly. And because the Angel has fallen, its now stuck in a dead mortal (Michael) and will more than likely fall into the depths of Hell and become a Demon.

Now, if we take the time travel incident seriously, it showed Future Damon time traveling to bring Michael back to life. Why? Because DAMON likes a fair fight. If he didn't time travel to bring Michael back to life, none of this would have happened. Alas, pre-destination paradox plays a huge role in this series, and hints that fate conquers free will. When Damon brought Michael back, he revived the vessel and the Angel possessing Michael's body. But again, the Angel has fallen and is clinging onto this vessel, Michael, and was brought back to life by a Demon that possesses Damon. So perhaps the Angel that tried to protect Michael now is under the will and control of Slenderman or OTHERS in order to keep Michael alive. If the Demon possessing Damon brought the Angel in Michael back to life, perhaps it does have to follow rules in order to keep Michael alive, namely playing along with the script they're ripping off of or remaining silent and let Michael think he is Hayden. They allow the Angel to protect Michael from Slenderman, but perhaps by allowing the Angel to reside in Michael, the Angel slowly becomes corrupt, thus becoming a Demon. Why do they allow the Angel to protect him? Because its interesting. More on this as you read (again, hopefully).

DAMON, from my guess, was a character portrayed by David Lancaster in the project. Now, we know he's possessed by a Demon, but what does it want? It seems to be the voice of THE SI-excuse me, THE OPERATORS, and Slendy. Almost kind of like HABIT from EMH, i guess. (I can't remember this: WAS HABIT IN ALLEGIANCE WITH SLENDER OR AGAINST SLENDER?) So, he's there to taunt...and entertain. Stay with me now. Here's why the series didn't end short, why Damon's there to entertain and why the Angel is allowed to protect Michael.

The technology aspect, I perceive as such: That's toward US the AUDIENCE, not the people involved in the series. The people in the series are players and are at HIS disposal. US, the audience, fuel Slenderman by watching these videos. Our fear and enjoyment of these videos is what fuels him. Mitch claims Slender searches for a select few to attract an audience, us, because we give him his power. That's why Slender skipped Mitchell because he wasn't deemed as...what's the word I'm looking for? Marketable? Unlike Damon, who does ENTERTAIN us and reel us in for more.

And note how Mitchell says there are multiple universes. That's a direct reference to the other series in the Slenderman Mythos. This series acknowledges that there are others out there, and they're all caught in the same circumstances as this one: They're being used to give Slender power and keep him alive. He feeds off of us, the audience, and he uses pawns like Alex Kralie, Noah Maxwell, Nate Reyes, Story Parker and etc. to attract us, the audience, to watch.

Think of Slenderman as a TV exec. He has full control over everyone in the series. He can either pull the plug on them (abandoned ARGs) or keep going until it reaches a conclusion (Marble Hornets). FallenSeven is in a universe where only THEM and Phantom Voices exists, which fits rather well. Slenderman didn't pop up in PhantomVoices until well after FallenSeven's story supposedly ended on the 4th of July IN-GAME. WE are in the universe where ALL ARGs exist and its us who fuel Slender his power.

As for Mitch, he's someone who was used briefly and disposed of. A Proxy, or someone under Slenderman's influence, has shown in other ARGs and this series to have violent tendencies, like Alex or The Collective. Mitchell tried to escape becoming a killer by trying to commit suicide, which did work, because Slender went off and found Michael while Mitch got put in a mental hospital, supposedly depression. As far as we know, Mitchell got out with good measure. Supposedly he and Zak kept in contact with each other up until they found the videos. For all we know, Mitchell's memory of being stalked and his failed initiation into becoming a killer was probably erased in order to continue a normal life.

Mitchell went missing Memorial Day, around the time 004.avi came out. If Mitchell is the figure in the background, perhaps that appearance alone brought him back into the FallenSeven loop. Anyone involved with FallenSeven is susceptible to becoming influenced. With Mitchell back in the loop, he becomes the thing he tried to escape from once before. But does he get any screen time? Is he even put to use in the main plot? No, because again, Slender never found him marketable for viewers, yet HE found Zak to be. What's Zak's pourpose? Entertain with his idiotic decisions. So basically, Mitchell is turned into a killer for NO REASON. I'd assume that could be an earthly explanation for why once deemed innocent people turn crazy and kill, because they were all approached by Slender, A supposed God, Not THE GOD, and were then abandoned and left as nothing but a shell of what they once were, now psycho killers. Qu'est-ce que c'est? Fa fa fa fa far better. (Talking Heads reference)

Well, with Michael's story supposedly complete IN-GAME, with nothing left but for the videos to be uploaded, with nothing left for Zak, Mitchell either revolted and took his own course of action or he's under Slender's influence to tie up loose ends. Oddly enough, this series questions the idea of free will vs fate. If anything, all these ARGs do in a way. Slenderman is God...or a God, if you will. The main characters in these ARGs are chess pieces, all part of a game at his will and disposal in order to stay alive. Either the ARG gets abandoned because it doesn't work out for Slender, or he keeps them going, milking them for what they have by inserting the option of free will into the game. That's why sometimes in these series, he rules their lives while other times he sits back and watches things unfold.

What does this series do different than the others? It shows what happens when another BEING, the Angel, tries to prevent the entire series of events from happening over again as it has in multiple universes. It accidentally allows the events to continue forward, hinting that free will is still an illusion , and that fate, Slender, conquers all. Truly the only way to stop him is simply NOT WATCH THE VIDEOS. But if we didn't...you wouldn't be reading this long wall of text. That's really the only plus in all of this. Not reading some nerd's analysis over a simple YouTube series. END

 		I hate to respond to a post of that thoughtfulness and quality with 'I agree' but that sums it up. It's well thought and reasoned and it's as good an explanation as anything we could come up with.

Also, nice Talking Heads reference.
