I need sleep now because I know I'll be waiting for info/videos/ect tomorrow. And I unfortunately have school on Monday.
Unfortunately, I decided against Benadryl for my allergy/weather related problems because the last time I took it, I woke up 14 hours later on my floor with all my my blankets and pillows scattered around my room and found my glasses in the bathroom.

I fell asleep over my laptop.

There's an imprint on my face now.

Wanna be drawfag here - how do you guys picture the Rake? Like, details, that sort of thing. CCNB gave me an idea of its physicality, but other than that, nada. Ideas?

has something along the lines of what i think..

Now in the orginal creepypasta, the person wasn't sure if the rake was a horribly injured animal, or a horribly injured person. So.. something almost twisted and mangled beyond normal easy recognition. I see it as having large, black eyes that are almost more like looking into the pits of infinity... And a very wide mouth, filled with a mixed bag of fans...

Seems that that design is the general consensus. XD

Hmmm...the rake? [edited for spelling because I suck at it apparently)
Well, I don't really agree with the entire design that has become consensus.
I mena some of it, yeah, but not all of it.
I imgaine huge black eyes that take up most of the face. Barely any nose, maybe just nostrils and no cartilege (spelling, sorry), and a very small mouth with almsot no lips, that open to reveal uneven rigid teeth like chewing on cement or glass shards would likely produce; that are black and yellow with rot/decay, and a little red from perhaps blood, but not overly so. No ears, but maybe small holes in the side- the head to me is a very slick kind of thing with little protrusion, but horribly scarred. I sort of think burn victim, but not really. The skin is very smooth in some places and very wrinkled in others, and of course has various scarring. It is a white with a yellow undertone, kind of like how skin on sick people (jaundice maybe?) looks, or maybe the pale-man from Pans Labyrinth, kind of translucent, you're not sure if it's really think or really thin, like an old slab of meat or the skin of people close to death that seems ready to fall off the bones.
The spine of the thing sticks out, because the rake looks rather emaciated on the whole. Its limbs are somewhere between that of a dogs' and a humans' so it has the ability to run mostly like a dog, but the ability to sit and crawl like a human, I never imagine it standing.I generally imagine its claws to be smooth calcium/bone extensions of the hand, as if the skin of the top of the fingers has been cut off (and maybe he top joint as well) and the bone that is left grew and grew and grew into claws; but I think it would be more realistic to say that they are rigid from use and abuse, as the rake does not groom, ever, so they really are more likely to be chipped and such. and instead of being what i previosuly described, they would be more like a cross between dogs claws, cats claws, human nails, and bird talons, so it is almost a different kind of bone.It has absolutely no hair, because hair could NOT grow on a creature so vile. ALso it either smells like nothing in a rather predatory you can;t sense me coming manner; or like dead stuff. When it speaks it whispers so low that you almost can't hear it, and yet you inexplicably can. If it's mad, or I suppose hunting, it growls like a feral beast, somethign between a feral human (terrifying because we can recognize the sound but it is so foreign to us) and some plain ol' freaky monster (lol). It moves its head in an almost human like manner, as if it can think and can understand humans, but I'm not sure that I really think it can.
And that is pretty mch what I think of as the rake , disregaurding EMH which seems to have made it slightly more humanistic.
