*delurks* Everyone is doing an awesome job finding potential connections! I don't have much to add...I've just been thinking about Jack's pleas for us not to send tree pictures because they help Slendy. It's interesting that when Slenderjack (forget who came up with that, but I love it) commented on our tree pictures, he always disliked the skinny, slender-like trees and was happier when we sent him large and leafy tree pics. Maybe it was just part of the ruse to act like an adorable and terrified kid, but I'm curious as to whether Slenderjack was trying to get us to send him something very specific. And that's my rambling contribution for the day

Hi there; also delurking.

I've been thinking too about the kinds of trees that Slenderjack seems to like: he's into big huge trees with lots of leaves... as chaos_angel said, like the ones he said Sarah in California sent him.

So could it be that where there is the right kind of tree, and Slendy has specific knowledge of it (eg a photo, not just a drawing), he can make a portal? I wonder if there is a door near those Redwoods too?

Or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree (!); maybe he just doesn't like trees that look too much like him. Funny, as you'd think they'd make good camouflage.

But Jack does strongly suggest that sending pictures makes us vulnerable to the creature, and as Slenderjack only seems into a particular kind of tree (big, leafy), that does seem to be the dangerous kind of tree.

Welp, that blog post answered all my triangle questions except one, and it was kinda dumb anyway. That the triangles aren't flush suggests to me that they could indeed be brackets for something. The key could be a picture, considering what we know about Slendy's photo hobby. 

Hi delurkers! Good points. I've been reading through the blog, looking for clues about the "meanpics" for a few days too. I'll attempt to convey my thoughts, but it might get long. >.< To me, the question boils down to whether (a) Jack was actively possessed and wrote the blog himself, with his buried true psyche acting as Jill, or (b) Slenders read Jack's memories at an earlier point and used it to create a blog from a human POV. (However he would do that-- maybe there's a Mavis Beacon for eldritch entities and their tentacles.) Both have scary connotations. 

If (a) is true, then the anxiety felt about the meanpics could be Jack's. He was seeing them in real-time, as they were submitted, and Slendy let that peek through for whatever reason. But if Jack was bodily possessed, then why did it stop? Did Slendy lose interest in Jack's body when we stopped sending pics? And more alarmingly, what's to stop the creature from taking over again, should Jack start looking like a useful tool? 

If (b) is true, the creature is probably more adaptable than I previously thought. He would have read Jack's memories then replayed them through the blog, but with an added element: our pics. Those weren't in Jack's memories. So Slendy either anticipated how Jack would have responded and was just staying in character, or he masked his own anxieties (FLOABT) about the pics behind a sympathetic human POV. Both show high levels of thought and understanding from a totally alien entity. How much further ahead of the game is he? 

And of course, why use Jack to write the blog and not another survivor? Or for that matter, a totally made-up character, if he's so adept at human communication?

It's a blog, so I try to interact on the blog more, but I'm watching this thread too.

I'm glad you did, punxtr. I can't leave blogspot comments on my POS phone, but I sent an email saying I agree with you and stressed being careful. I also wrote this:
