Okay. I've been going back through the blog...On 7/9/10, she posts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZwMUHAAVYY as a response to one of you blokes going on about Tulpa and ToTheArk.

I always kind of thought that the "unattainable companion" referred to someone who Slender Man could somehow not get to ("attain"). I don't know for sure who that would be referencing, though.

Just to plant an epileptic tree here - what if the time travel happened because Slendy, in his protectiveness/(in my opinion far more likely) possessiveness of Vince, did it to get him out of reach of something that was threatening them? Something that couldn't be dealt with with a simple evisceration? Something, like, I dunno - the Rake?

Also, the paw prints on the bag are really generic - they get used for a lot of different mascots (especially for high schools - my old high school, and our biggest rival, both used that same paw print theme)

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=BCD8B084D1E8CA5A - Here's my work in progress.

EDIT 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JEh5-PumRs&feature=player_embedded - She linked a project here, not a music video. Interesting setting.

Wow...that video from Eisley is...REALLY topical for Slenderman discussions so far, both from the standpoint of EverymanHYBRID and Marble Hornets (Masky for Marble Hornets). I noticed a theme. Touching.

That HASBITME and such Twitter message has stuck with me as of late.

In the 'Welcome to the Ark' video, both Jeff and Vince were wounded. No one really knows the cause. ...What if they were bitten, and somehow that put them under some kind of sway? Jeff was the only one acting oddly, but perhaps we didn't see quite enough Vince to know?

I say this because it seems some people become a bit odd after being touched by Slenderman. Using MH as an example again, the masked people. I believe they've been touched by SM...and now seem under some sort of thrall.

In the WttA video, Jeff was left back in the darkness where something could have gotten him...and then immediately came out of the shadows and tried to pull them into it.

Might be grasping at straws, but it seemed odd to me.

...Again, in response to Sol. I talked to Volcanic about her song analyzing and proposed something about Damsel.

In the MCR song she listed, Famous Last Words...one of the lines is 'nothing you can say can stop me going home'. In 'Alone Down There', he says repeatedly that 'I don't want you to be alone down there'.

What if Damsel knows she's going to die? What if that song means she knows that Jessa is already dead and doesn't want her to be 'alone down there'?

Edit: Meant to point out that 'home' doesn't have to be her actual home. It could simply be whatever comes after death. That makes that make a bit more sense.

That's actually a really good point, with the Damsel song lyrics. Hmm.

Also; once I've gone through all of Damsel's links, I'm going to add in the other songs that've featured in the series. Off the top of my head, I can think of the Rake's Song, Hotel California, and Who Could Win a Rabbit?, are there any others in the videos that you guys feel could be relevant to discussion?

[Scion of Flame]

Absolutely so. Those songs are ones I've already listened to, and they are very relevant.

Glad you liked the point, Sol!

I don't really buy into any "battling monsters" theory, i.e. Slendy vs. the Rake. I think they are together. I think this sensibility of "two forces fighting!!!111" comes out of MH fandom and I frankly am not totally convinced TTA isn't equally bad news in MH either.
