Your fears are better than the dreams I had where the Rake had chosen me as their mate. Like, bringing me gifts, mating displays, etc. Just imagine this deranged being bringing you a rock and flowers and a skull, putting them in a Bowerbird-like nest where they expect you to then have babies.

oh man this reminds me of something i periodically remember these days, right before i had scp i invented my own world about a place called 'the institute' that studied the zoology of different creepypasta monsters. it started with the establishment of a main character who was a researcher there, and it went on about how this was a government facility that was half staff residence and half chambers for these things, and it was pretty much just a full ass city with roads and stuff down there. our main character (or like... main pov person?) had been chosen by the administration here to study slendermen through a new 4 square mile underground forest they had built for this purpose, and it was a given that this guy was dreading it because everyone thought he was going to be murdered as soon as he set foot in this chamber. the plot started with a scene of staff trapping a slenderman in a shipping container, tranquilizing it, and shipping it to this facility to put in their new habitat.

this is where like... this story definitely went off the deep end looking back. like it was already pretty wild here but i commend my 11 year old self for distinctly just not giving a fuck about anything and just barrelling through with this despite it being insane and completely antithetical to anything having to do with the actual communal online slenderverse mythos of any kind. like i dont even know if this is cringe or not and i did not care i just fucking went for it.

so our main character makes contact with this slenderman and they start to break down the communication barrier between them, and it turns out that this human-like creature is, surprise surprise, actually like part of a civilization of these things that originally inhabited large swaths of forest in the northern hemisphere up to and through the arctic circle, although the north american and russian populations were very separated until climate change started making the arctic circle more hospitable to travel again. the reason slenderman and the rake had been being discovered now was because deforestation and continued development of those forests were shrinking the hunting ground they could use without feasibly interacting with human society, and so the like... slender administration had been having problems with their class of hunters (at least in like...the canadian....slenderman branch? or something?) had been like 'fuck it' and started going into peoples' houses and killing kids and college students with camcorders and stuff, which was not something you were supposed to do, but the hunters were particularly aggressive and weren't as fine with just sitting by and watching their supply of food dwindle because the slenderman brass were too scared to just knock on people's doors and fuck them up. just go in there and haunt the shit out of some dudes and then kill them and eat them. just walk in there like they owned the place and tear some people limb from limb.

the slenderman they had caught turned out to be a researcher in their own society. this person had no actual researcher role other than just 'slenderman scientist', which in retrospect was kind of based.

i had all sorts of stuff planned out for the biology of these things, but the thing i remember the most aside from the slenderman sexual dimorphism was the tentacles were heavy to the touch with a thick layer of thin, sharp, one directional fiberglass-like hairs and were attached at a mouth full of teeth that they could just like, shovel shit in.

going back to the rake, though, because that's what we started with here, i don't think i intended to make the slenderman society patriarchal, but i absolutely did? like, it was given that the rakes were less common then men in their society and weren't as smart, as in like, it was a given in the story they had animal-like intelligence according to our slenderman researcher main character and only understood early child rearing, and were vicious for anyone to be around past toddler age, but with the one in captivity the institute had captured as a mate for this guy, there were some signs that this was absolutely not true and the rakes just led their own mini-civilization mostly separate from the men of their society and communicated very differently as a result, although i kind of just brushed passed it? like i really just made up slenderman handmaids tale and completely ignored the implications of this so i could do more slenderman adventures with new slenderman characters in different slender society positions in my head. to be clear i was 12 and thought slenderman was cooler and the rake was scarier and more likely to come get me while i slept so im not beating myself up over not having a woke enough setup here, but i DO think its very funny.

anyway, then this slenderman and a hunter friend of his who was very gifted with fire powers and was an incredibly good hunter but really and idiot otherwise went and did Some Shit together while their society was trying to migrate away from increasing development in northern canada or something, yes i had a scene where all the slendermen were somberly abandoning their home due to habitat destruction. the story ended with our main researcher slenderman character almost dying from lava at a volcano somewhere in italy, he survived but was in a slenderman wheelchair for life, you cant make this shit up, like i really was just doing shit here with no regard for anything. like 11 year old me just said fuck it tragic slenderman volcano ending and went for it. i cant even see that as cringe honestly.

anyway so. that happened and your dreams sound like something i would have unironically done with this
