most of the health and fitness tips in the videos are legit, idk why you think they have no idea what theyre talking about.

Moving on, can we try to have an overall discussion about the flood mentioned in CANYOUSEETHEWORD's blogs? What is she talking about? Obviously it's the same flood mentioned in Marble Hornets, but has anyone figured out what exactly it is? On another note, she claims to have not planted the box in her most recent post. Even if she did it doesn't make any sense to me how she had gotten the photographs of the EMH crew in-game.

I haven't been reading much on CANYOUSEETHEWORDS, but the word [s]"flood[/s] conjures up the story of "Noah's Ark", as obvious as it is. I'll go over the tumblr later, I think.

I think the flood is actually a metaphor for for something else. It could be a cataclysm of some type, a great, all conquering disaster perhaps, or maybe something slightly closer to home.
I think the metaphor is an allusion to ToTheArk's (and the original biblical) "Deluge" and the rain storm in the video "Program". The biblical element seems to be unavoidable, however the logic behind it is still fuzzy.
I could speculate that perhaps it refers to the destruction of the sinners by God's destructive flood , but perhaps ol' Slendy is our flood, a supernatural and powerful being "sent" to dispose of the sinners of the Earth. That would tie in with the old stories of Der Großmann from the Black Forest, who hunted down and captured misbehaving children. Perhaps this was a softening of his real "purpose", or perhaps his beginnings. We know nothing of any real value about his victims' backgrounds, nothing that could point us to what really started him stalking or taking them, we speculate about it just being when you know about him, but what if there is something more to it?

Dray, I love your posts and I respect you quite a bit, and I know I'm just a guest, but could you cut the sexism? It's been going on for a while and it's getting to me. _{i'm sorry if i'm hyper-sensitive! i guess i'm in the minority when i say that you can be sexist to males just as much as you can be to females...}

Also, about the talk of floods and such - I highly doubt it has anything to do with MH. I don't even think MH is canon in their universe (at least until I see some official confirmation!). Slender Man has been associated with water and natural disasters since the original SA thread. jonnymanic's theory is interesting, but it's hard for me to imagine Mr Slender with any comprehensible morality at all.

Disregard this.

I'm not necessarily talking about the Slender Man knowing why or what he's doing, but more saying that he does it. It may be some kind of primitive drive, like many of our baser instinct; the Slender Man is a force of nature, a creature of habit, something that is driven by an urge it doesn't understand. As many have said, just because it looks human doesn't mean its motivations are human or that it has any real "motivation" at all. All I'm saying is that maybe it feeds off a sense of guilt or something in the neurological electrical field triggered by feelings of guilt.
If I'm rambling or not making an awful lot of sense, that's probably the booze talking, I've had a bit to drink tonight.
But my word, doesn't it make the theories fall like a torrent?

EDIT: Edited for punctuation. Even when I've had a bit to drink; spelling, punctuation and grammar do not fall by the wayside! (And yes, I am aware that I've probably made some minor grammatical or punctuational errors even after this edit.)
