 		it's more the "oh. well that came out of nowhere" that's the impressive part, i think. fairly standard for a human serial killer, yeah, but nice shock value. also interesting in that it demonstrates that habby, assuming he can be trusted on this account, is very, very human. or has very human qualities.

Agreed. Its just...what the hell. When is he going to tell us about something that is unique to him? That earned him the right to be feared? What makes him HABIT and not just another John Wayne Gacy, just another rabid dog that needs to be put down as soon as someone can find the time?

Honestly, HABIT just doesn't scare me. He has to arrive in person to do any damage. He's too corporeal. He can be hurt, and if he can be hurt than he can be killed, eventually.

If anything this CYSTW post only makes me want to put him out of his misery so he'll stop his damn squealing. It's getting annoying.

Also, as a note: the post mentions the song "19-2000," and it can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x46GaoCodAQ

This also establishes a pattern for certain: Slender Man comes in, takes the kid and HABIT gets to have some narrow minded fun.

Maybe that's what HABIT is? Some sort of serial killer who Slendy uses to help gather victims or dispose of evidence?

So the relationship between HABIT and Slendy at this point seems pretty clear; Slendy snatches kids up, and HABIT gets to murder, pillage, and rape, perhaps to dispose of the evidence? This of course raises several more questions.

Where do HABIT's superhuman powers come from? Are they a result of his alliance with Slendy, which is evidently still going strong? I'd think not; If that was the case, why would he give a random serial killer superhuman abilities?

It's more likely that Slendy recognizes HABIT as a threat and, grudgingly, has formed an alliance with him, where he keeps HABIT placated with victims in exchange for peace between himself and HABIT. This means the Twitterfight could be (not so) passive-aggresive jabs between Slendy or HABIT or just HABIT and Corenthal.

We're still not certain whether or not HABIT has a corporeal body or simply inHABITs individuals who gain these superhuman abilities for the duration of the inHABItation. Did he have an original body? If so, does he still have one?

THIS ANSWERS SO MANY QUESTIONS YET RAISES SO MANY MORE.

Keep in mind, we're not sure whether or not HABIT is inHABITing people to do these things. Also, the superhuman strength and endurance seem to place him in a different league than John Wayne Gacy.

 		Man, that really came out of nowhere. I thought it was interesting that the guy referred to Habit as "The Habit" after that first interjection. Also I don't even know what to think about slenderman torturing people to the Gorillaz. :shiver:

I got the impression HABIT was the one doing the torture and Slendy was just keeping them alive. HABIT does seem to have a fondness for setting things to music...

Yeah, looking back I guess I missed that. But of all the random things to imagine being tortured to... I wonder if John is still alive?

Check the news thread Ouro, I posted it there.

 		Okay, so the kids are always taken. And let's assume this is all part of the pattern for which Corenthal was blamed in the press. Where are all those kids today?

And though it may not be answered, why does HABIT know about Milo Asher in TribeTwelve but left him for the Observer instead?

I would email the guys about this one, but eh, not sure, it feels redundant despite the results the first time. Maybe I'm just too eager to prod Evan.

 		John said near the end of the post that they were 'done' with him. I presume that means they killed him.

Spoilered because I am full of b'aww and not everyone should have to read it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Oh, super powers? That's why we should be afraid of HABIT? Because he can break 5,000 bricks at a time with his face? Great, so he can benchpress a truck. Why should any of us give a fuck? You don't need "super powers" to fight and torture and kill. There is nothing special about this guy!

Okay, I think I've pinpointed why this post irritates me: HABIT is nothing special and yet he is presented as a Canon Sue. He's overpowered and feared for no good reason, except his own say-so. He can kick dudes ten feet across a room! And rape women for three days straight! (Or was it five?) There's nothing HABIT can't do! Call today for your free HABIT! The Operator is standing by!

We don't need the EMH boys, we need to call the fucking XMen to put this guy down. Set Wolverine on the little prick.


Ugh. Sorry for being argumentative.

 		As "proxies" (I still fucking hate that term) go, I have no real problem with HABIT. He's got character but he doesn't irritate the fuck out of me. I think EMH is well aware he comes off as a petulant braggart and that that's for a reason. Yeah, he is apparently superhuman, but that flight of fancy was to be expected on some level since we were already fairly sure he was a non-corporeal entity.

Could he do stranger things? Sure. But he's a psychopath, and while psychopaths are a dime a dozen - and I enjoy taunting him as such - its delivery and execution of a fictional psycho that saves you, and so HABIT works for me.

Okay, I think I've pinpointed why this post irritates me: HABIT is an inverse Canon Sue. He's overpowered and feared for no good reason, except his own say-so.

No, I understand what you are saying, and it's not really argumentative. You raised a good point; As with every other post made by HABIT, this might just be one of his fabricated tails (Get it, tails? I am such a card) to make himself seem like some sort of all-powerful creature to be feared by all. Assuming it is true, HABIT might not even have a 'body' to kill. What if he's just a spirit floating between bodies? Also "The Operator is standing by!" made my night.

Yeah. He's pretty obtuse about his intentions. He doesn't post cryptic videos or blog comments in binary or base 64 or something. He's not even really a proxy, it seems he works 'with' Slendy rather than 'for' him.
