okay so I've recently got back into Slenderverse and honestly? as much as I love the videos and lore, I loathe the fandom with every fiber of my existence
on one end, you got people who will attack you for liking HABIT or any other different character who's the true definition of a fictional villain, accusing people of condoning a character's actions just by simply enjoying them as a fictional character.
and on the other you have the hardcore canon purists that bully others for writing new AUs/Headcanons/Fluff and what have you, calling it cringe and weird because someone finds comfort in said character, regardless if they're a villain or not. it's not that serious, if you don't like what someone writes, simply ignore or block, it ain't that hard
then you have the ones who condone certain people behind the shows and pretend they didn't do anything wrong (You know who I'm talking about.) and even attack those who disagree, some who even send weird creepy asks to different HABIT blogs Fictive/DID or Roleplay type and weirding people out (Looking at you, Necro anon)
I just don't understand, Slenderverse is a FICTIONAL universe and these are characters, HABIT is fictional, every other character is fictional, fiction is supposed to be enjoyed and not taken seriously, if you don't like a character that's fine, but don't be an asshole to people who enjoy the character. because in the end we're all nerds enjoying a good spooky horror series.
also P.S. , Leave the actors tf alone, they are trying to live normal lives after the series ended, being a weirdo towards them is really gross
One thing I think about a lot is the concept that the Operator, instead of being innately evil, is just doing what animals do. There is no malice in its actions, no bias, it’s just doing what it’s always done. There is something to be said for its drone-like existence. Its actions serve no easily comprehensible purpose, and yet its been doing those same tasks since it was created.
Ohmygod you have just opened pandoras box my friend and I thank you so much for it
Before Slendy/The EMH channel:
So I'd like to think all the boys met in Highschool with Jeff and Vinny meeting first and Evan joining the friend group around sophomore year. Evan gives me the vibes of an extrovert who adopted two introverts and never left them. He was also probably the one who introduced them to their other friends (Nick, Daniel, etc) and the rest is history !
They all like skateboarding, mainly Evan. He's the one who taught the other two how to with Vinny absolutely KILLING it and Jeff.... not so much.
This is less headcanon and more canon since Vinny and Jeff have guitars lying around. But they all play some sort of instruments and have definitely thought about making a band before. Jeff would be on the guitar, Vinny maybe the bass or keyboard, and Evan would go crazy as a drummer.
Speaking of which Vinny and Jeff give me big band kid energy. Mainly Jeff.
I can also see Vinny being a theater kid.
OH! Steph was homeschooled and chronically online (in a millennial way) because of it. This lead her into so many fandoms and she wrote so much cringe fanfiction. Some she wouldn't even let Evan see.
Also Steph is really into 2000s animated MTV shows and kinned Pheobe from Downtown.
One more thing about Steph because I love her and I'm 100% not projecting onto her ;D She loves mindless self indulgence, she wants revenge, and modest mouse. I feel like Vinny and her bonded over music, especially Modest Mouse.
After slendy/emh channel:
Vinny is a very big Modest Mouse fan, like listened to all the albums and probably knows the bandmembers names and lore. His favorite album is "The Moon and Antarctica" which became a comfort album during his time living with Habit. He listened to "Alone down there" over and over because it reminded him of his friendship with Evan.
Sidenote if you haven't listened to "The moon and antarctica" you really should cause most of the songs give me EMH vibes. Especially Alone Down There and Tiny Cities made of Ashes. I honestly want to make a analysis on that album and how it fits with EMH, but that's for another time. :D
Back to headcanons. Habit loves frustrating boardgames like monopoly or uno. Mostly because he feeds off the emotions. When Vinny lived with Habit, he would always bug him about playing Monopoly specifically. Vinny gave in one time and played for a bit until he realized Habit was somehow cheating.
Habit also ate the pieces in front of Vinny as a power move.
He also likes how metal tastes.
Habit might have pica.
That's all for now because if I go on any longer I'd start writing a whole ass book. If you'd like more headcanons I'd be glad to post some cause I have plenty !! Sorry if anything here is confusing I'm bad at putting thoughts into words sometimes XD
What do you think of the headcanon of Habit being an necrophillac?
I don't think that this should be something that you actively think about headcanoning. Why does it matter if he is or not. I'm just saying it's pretty odd, especially because nobody really wants to talk about this. So just take my word and stop asking people on the internet this. If you have necr0phillac thoughts I hope you're able to get the help genuinely. It's just not healthy to be spreading this around, and if you are going to still spread it around keep it to the people on this app that want to hear about it, not just random creators.
Random marble hornets or slenderverse headcanons you have in general?
Dude you just opened Pandora’s fucking box and I couldn’t be happier.
Tim met Brian is a psych class he was taking for extra credit and fun. Brian was a med student, studying to be a nurse. Jay was gonna be a script writer and supervisor and Alex was gonna be a director.
The rake is a far devolved form of a low ranking proxy.
The ark serves as a type of bridging point between different universes. E.g. Marble Hornets canonically existing in EverymanHYBRID, and the watchers also being canonical characters in most every slenderverse show. While the Ark isn’t a physical place, there are certain locations that make it possible for these bridges to form. A main character (someone stuck in a reincarnation loop) coming to a specific location that has been used in multiple slender series can cause these bridges to form.
The Operator Isn’t an inherently malicious being. Comparable to how a human might not even notice stepping on an ant.
The Operator and Slenderman are in fact 2 separate entities. The place where this is most noticeable is in MLAndersen0 with the existence of both a black and red tie variant. Black being the Operator, and red being Slenderman.
I have so many more ideas but I’d need a google doc lol
