What I saw of him originally he reminded me a bit of HABIT, except Pat actually showed up to back his claims. Now he's showing a bit more depth and less wanton EVILLLLLLLL


wanted to comment on this a bit...When Patrick was first introduced - I did think of him like HABIT or the other proxies I have seen (early Redlight and Masky in season 1.) Someone who has been effected by slenderman so much he has snapped and gone insane.

But now it is very obvious that he has his own agenda - He has retained the knowledge which Michael has obviously forgotten from his childhood. (either through the years of psychotherapy telling him it isn't real or just forgetting because of how traumatic it was.)

I am while thinking about The Michael/Patrick split reminded of Deadly Premonition.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Specifically MLA0 reminds me of the end game Reveal of who Zack and York actually are. But I couldn't see Patrick walking off into the woods with the dead spirit of stormy.


(seriously slender fans will like the plot of this game and I think what happened near the end of redlight was specifically referencing another part of the games plot.)

My layman's understanding of DID on the other hand says that Patrick is a classic personality type to manifest under these conditions (by which I mean stressful and threatening to Michal, not the supernatural parts). Michal feels threatened and can't cope so out comes a more direct, confrontational, and violent personalty who fills a protectors roll. Patrick isn't vulnerable and confused, if he was he would be a piss poor coping mechanism for the vulnerability and confusion Michal is feeling.


This is what I have always understood of DID. I for one am greatly enjoying this series, and can't wait for the next video.

Edit: Fixing the effed quote tag.

Wrong. I'm taking a Psych 101 course right now and this thread just zoomed beyond anything we've covered so far. This thread must be filled with doctors Wikipedia users, or something. Confused


I fixed it. Very Happy

Patrick is sort of reminding me of the doctor a bit this video. The madness, how he is dressed, the cocky overconfidence and the not explaining what is going on. It is sort of like Patrick doesn't consider himself human any more.


Makes sense considering Dylan (Michael/Patty's actor) loves Doctor Who. He has made an official bowtie Wednesday event on Facebook. xD EVERY WEDNESDAY IS BOWTIE WEDNESDAY!

So now Patty is like Matty!Doctor, except much more sinister.

I WOULD SIDE WITH HIM. xD Sounds like a ball of fun.

Not really liking this one....
I subscribed last month, hoping this will get better, but it's hard to watch Patrick act like this. And not in a "Oh no! He's so sick!" kind of way, I'm actually starting to detest the series for how much they are making Patrick this over-the-top, over cliched, and really bad character. And then the way his brother acts so nonchalant about the fact that Patrick has a really bad case of multiple personality disorder (that is, by the way, presented falsely and is borderline insulting). I understand that in cases like this, mental illness will never be presented correctly or even diagnosed correctly in vlogs, but there still has to be an ounce of truth to it. This vlog just takes the term mental illness and bends it to whatever the heck they want it to be. I'm in no way trying to present myself as a professional in this field, but I have worked with several people with a different range of severe mental illnesses much like multiple personality disorder, and I can honestly say that what is being presented in the vlog is very far from what should be presented. It's just one bad acting video after another, and the sad thing is they dug so deep with this Patrick plot that there is really no good way to turn this around. I applaud them for trying to do something different and out of the ordinary, and making this at a time in which the "Big Three" still rules. However, I think doing a lot more research behind these mental illnesses and also leave room for adjustment in the vlog could have made the series better.


Lolwut. It's fairly hard to get an accurate portrayal of any mental illness, really. The thing is, I really don't think he does have DID. As for the Mary-Sue thing you mentioned... I disagree. :3

I think they probably have the best dialogue in any of the series.

Most of the good series seem to thrive on a good deal of improvisation and naturalism in the interaction, which keeps things from seeming too plot-driven or fake, and in the case of EMH, DH, etc. builds character, but MLA goes a step further than that in terms of the dialogue for me because even if stuff is scripted or unscripted, the dialogue is really a cut above. They took time to first build Michael's character (then Patrick's) while also delivering compelling, witty dialogue, and they also have Eric, who's a forceful presence. And Shaun, who I felt faded into the woodwork early on because he was relatively unassuming by comparison, is now thrust into the lead role for the audience to identify with, and so we have to get to know him more now too as opposed to him just being Michael's skeptical brother. Do I have a point here? No. Anyway, excellent dialogue.

I'd like to point out I actually stopped lurking to first poast on this one. I really have to wonder though... how does one end up determining what is valid for a Slender Man series? How are you able to actively say that Patrick is not part of the story, and is only there to "speed things along"? Aside from the fact that we're dealing with someone whose mind was broken due to the Slender Man, which ends up adding all kinds of horrible potential to the standard Multiple Personality Complex, there's another area that I feel this view is really terribly off in...

Specifically, the idea that mental illness precludes charisma, force of personality, and manipulative capability. If you really feel this, I think there are a load of sociopaths and psychopaths out there, such as Charles Manson, whose loyal followers would really beg to differ. No, severe mental illness doesn't equate charisma, but it certainly doesn't have to detract from it.

I'm just not really sure how having an actively malevolent, enjoyable character that's not Slendy detracts in any way from the Slendy mythos... Especially this one seems to be setting his sights on trying to cope with Slendy and keep his 'host' alive, if in a markedly different way then merely cowering in a corner, or recording things and hoping for outside help, or stabbing random bushes, as in other stories.


THIS.

Except, I have a new theory.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Michael/Patty is really a Timelord that looked into the time vortex and couldn't take it and went insane, but doesn't remember he's a Timelord because FOB WATCH.

 		So I figured during the wait for Entry #50 of Marble Hornets I would check out this vlog. I just watched all the videos and skimmed over the 70+ pages of this forum. That being said:
1) Someone get this guy a movie deal. Seriously, he is an amazing actor.
2) Patrick is the single scariest character I have ever seen in a Slendervlog. He just ramps up the creepy factor with every appearance. His little one liners, his mannerisms, everything about him is just scary.
2a)Dont know if this was mentioned but considering Patrick's "relationship" with Slenderman and Patrick's general craziness, does anyone else get a real strong HABIT vibe off of him?
Nothing really to contribute, just wanted to say that thanks to the wait for the next MH update I have added a new slendervlog to my list.

Glad I'm not the only one getting an Evil!Doctor vibe off of him. And it's appropriate, the Silence are too similar to Slendy for it to be a coincidence.

God, yes. That only reinforces it.

I'm waiting for Dylan to wear a bowtie during a shoot. WE NEED A PATTY WITH A BOWTIE.

Also, forever calling him Patty now, seeing as I call Matt Smith Matty.

 		Still operating on the theory that these are in MLAndersen0 continuity LatentAnathema posted another video. Stormy is back and references the events in MLAnderson that involved her. Apparently she went back into the mental hospital for a while which is why her friends had a hard time contacting her.

Also got a response about that video from Iris that went missing. Apparently she went to spend time with her family and when she came back the video was just gone.

 		Love the descent into madness.

Also at the end, Patrick has something written on his hands. Anyone make out what it is?
