I do like that idea, Mattwan. 'The Earth will be cleansed with water and fire' sort of thing. He's already done one, now he's onto the other with places burning down and such.

That other world certainly seems devoid of humanity...unless Slendy brings you there, I assume. I still stand by my theory that the thing they try to hit with the car in the Ashen Waste video is not Slenderman. Looks female to me. Possibly someone dragged into that world? But on nearly colliding, they're immediately transported to the basement. Still wondering why that happened.

Also, dual universes have been a theme of Slendy from the beginning. They established that further in the video 'Jeff.' with the quote from House of Leaves about God creating two universes.


The figure i see is very clearly wearing a suit, and head is somewhat obscure, and more on the tall and slim side..

I can't guarentee it isn't a girl in a suit, but.. that would just be really weird. I'd take a screencapture, but i'm not sure how.

Man- i feel bad for missing that. I read the whole thread specifically so i wouldn't ask noobish questions. And i remember reading the question about fire and water, but not your reply.

Slendergod is disappointed in his children. Disappointed indeed.


No need to feel bad--there's a lot to plow through, and nobody's going to remember every little detail that comes up.

I really like the idea of Hybrids in the hands of an angry Slender. We've even had a few spider allusions in "Day in the Life" and flashbacks thereto. Smile

I've offered the possibility that the alternate/Ark universe is a world that Slendy has already flooded, explaining why the glimpses we've gotten of it seem so devoid of humanity. This could also explain why he's more associated with using fire in our universe: he's already moved through his water phase.


That also explains why in the Slenderman or TTA video (don;t remember which) they said the sun hasn't risen and it has been raining for like 3 days. (I think)

If Slendy already purged his universe, why did he do it? I was thinking as a preparation for his favorite people. Kind of like how you clean your house whenever friends are coming, he wanted to make sure it was clean and "bad thing" free for them, so he could eat them/ protect them/punish them/ whatever them properly.

This is not necessarily Dependant on TTA being cannon, I am assuming that even if it isn't that their ideas still carry over, that the Ark will be dark and wet in both series. Ya know?

Oh.. my. That would make slenderman the precursor to all sorts of lovecraftian horrors, wouldn't it? In a role something similar to Nyarlathotep..

It would also explain the increasing weirdness.. the first few party guests are arriving.

Alternate theory: he kills everyone because we can't meet his meticulous fashion standards.

I like this. I like this a lot.

And a tree: According to Jeff's HoL quote, God created the dual universe because he was lonely. That's all well and good, but have you ever been in a situation where your friends overstay their welcome and then overstay some more and some more and it seems like they'll never leave? If you're a god, the friends you made will never be able to leave because you're everywhere and there's nowhere for them to leave to. Maybe Slendy kills all his "friends" because he just needs a little alone time. Smile And then he gets lonely again, and the cycle repeats.

There's also the possibility that he's the kind of kid who breaks his toys when he's bored with them.

 		@Harley Yes, I mentioned the 'dark for 3 days' bit came from WttA when Evan is talking to Jeff at his laptop.

I believe the theory of the Rake 'loving' Alex to death was brought up before as well. I don't know. I don't see either of them as beings wanting companionship. That humanizes them. Makes them need something that humans also need. There's nothing human about Slenderman but his shape, and even that is severely distorted.

I think it's theoretically possible that the 'recurring events' theory is the most relevant. They make a lot of allusions to that in the series. "This has happened before" and things like that. It seems to me like this is something they've already been through, whether they know it or not.

Edit: Another theory was brought up once that this HAS happened before...but some of the players are becoming self-aware. Our crew. That may be why they are being targeted.

 		Thanks.

And I'm thinking Slendy is the spoiled rich kid. He would break his toys and just get new ones. You would think he would learn after how many years.

And that theroy of him just wanting to be alone is very creepy.

the other thing i found funny about the welcome to the ark video, is how evan scares jeff in the middle of his crying session. that was funny as hell to me.

also, whats with the weird patches taped to themselves. also the tape is purple (im tellin ya man, purple tape MEANS SOMETHIN)


They more than likely were attacked by The Rake. That's why they said "it's back." As for the purple tape... I'm not sure how much we can get from that. It's just that the only tape color used in EMH is purple. Possibly just to let us know anything with purple tape on it is EMH.


then why was slendy in the video if it was the rake????


Um... "Welcome To The Ark" only had The Rake in it...


yea, i saw him right when the lights started to go out, as vince turned the cam away from jeff.

 		^ @ilikeike

Yeah. Like I said. That shot of Slendy at the top of the stairs and all that good stuff is a flashback to another video. I don't think Slendy was actually there.

I compromise- I think these events have happened before- maybe in the dark world. and maybe as slender keeps crossing back and forth, he accidentally brings artifacts with him?

Its the purple tape- we know it's significant, and it makes me think of sixth sense- where anything red had been touched by the spirit world, iirc. Maybe the purple tape is a sign that something has crossed from one world to another? Maybe in the 70-80s in the darkworld, Dr. Corenthal treated several young patients.. before slenderggeddon. Maybe one of them transfered over to our world. (and maybe that's why slenderman's showing up? hunting an escapee, originally)

I'm really tempted to expand the theory from the tape to any use of the color purple- like the clothing of the person in the back of that ustream video (the one who was dragged into the room) or the color of the promised wristbands

 		Ah, scion mentioned slendy being barely discernable as human; with all the stuff about distortion of perception and time, I think it isn't a far cry at all to say Slendy only looks slightly human because it is the only way our brains can percieve him..

 		Here's a screencap of Slendy in the road from "Ashen Waste". It's not great--you never realize just how much you rely on the "persistence of vision" illusion until you start looking at stuff frame by frame.

I think the problem here might be that they weren't using either a person or a proper mannequin in a Slendy costume for this shot. Slendy here looks more like an oval an a base than a pear-shaped person. That could just be some video weirdness, though.

 		That's what gets me, Matt. The shape.

Also, @ilikeike33...you're right. I didn't notice Slendy standing RIGHT THERE when the lights go out. Totally missed it. Nice work, sir.

 		Still.. the coloration implies it's a suit.. I just can't see it as supposed to be another character. If for some reason it was supposed to be jessa/damsel/ sparky (NOOOOOO.) surely they would have made it a bit more obvious?

One thing that's been bugging me about the shot of Slender on the road in "Ashen Waste." Am I the only one who things that he looks a little transparent?

It's easier to notice watching the video. Maybe it's the fact that it's black-suit on dark background but Slender seems to sort of fade into the shot right at the last second and he looks a little ghostly when he does. I almost thought he was that weird transparent blue that you see holographs projected in in sci-fi stories all the time.

The "drive-by" Slender just seems to have some weird effect around him that makes him almost illusory. It's hard to describe. Any one else notice it?
