Description
Fixed up the image a bit and added some color, probably going to do the same for the other two Creepypasta drawings as well.Along with the Fisherman and the B.O.B. creature, Slender Man is a being that has been sighted sense the 20th century. Most depictions of Slender Man feature him as a tall, thin man wearing a fine black suite complete with a tie and dress shoes, the only thing that sets itself apart from a normal human is the fact that it has no face and it can change it size at will. This being first appeared on the SomethingAwful forums as a contest entry as a paranormal image, but once the first, few Slender Man images appeared swarms of people reported that they have seen creatures similar to the Slender Man over the years. In Crossover, Slender Man and his ilk are very real and are considerably dangerous to anyone who would encounter him either alone or in public.
There had been many theories regarding Slender Man on what he is, what he wants, and what abilities that numerous people have reported. The most popular theory about what is Slender Man is that he’s a tulpa, a thoughtform brought to life due to the collective thoughts of individuals due to the popularity on the internet regarding Slender Man; a physical creature that is reliant on physics and understood science such as a trans-dimensional being; a type of faerie that, along with other mystical beings, is adapting to modern times. The idea of Slender Man being a tulpa is an interesting theory but doesn’t seem to fit regarding the fact that people encountered beings like Slender Man and yet never heard of him gives the suggestion that he (or they, implying that there’s more than one Slender Man) may be a physical creature that can travel between dimensions as well as giving the idea that he’s a faery sense he appears mostly in forested areas as well as his habit of abducting people (ex. Children) similar to how faeries are known to abduct people such as children and are found mostly in forested areas.
In regards to what he wants no one truly knows but if the faery theory turns out to be true it could be that he is trying to abduct people in order to reproduce hybrids but not likely.
The abilities of Slender Man, unlike the theories mentioned above, are more explained and understood such as Slender Man’s ability to change his height and his ability to grow extra limbs/tentacles from his body for numerous uses. He is also known to cause distortion in film but his most interesting ability is to create Proxies, people under the control of Slender Man. Proxies share some of the abilities that Slender Man has but only some such as distortion of film, people who end up under Slender Man’s influence end up suffering from this strange disease called The Sickness that results in the creation of Proxies. The Sickness seems to affect the mind in a lot of ways that can drive the person insane, giving Slender Man control over them. Of course there are other abilities Slender Man has that we are not aware of at this time but with increasing reports of him and other monsters that were thought to only exist Creepypasta stories are becoming more real each day.

Hey, I'v in the past done some research on the Slenderman lore, so it should give some pointers: Supposedly, he existed thousands of years ago, before proper art (like carvings in cave walls.) He was first recognized as a serious threat in the late 1600, in Germany where he had been kidnaping kids untill a knight fought him with swords (at the time, he dressed in armor.) It was said that only a certain type of metal could hurt him (the same type as his armor and the knight's sword.) the knight won, leaving behind the last living child, Benjamin. But it was stated in the myth the only his body died, and his soul still lived(which would explain why he has been seen since.) in the late 1900 he was caught on photo and he had supposedly kidnapped children on a play ground. But saddly we lack a knight in shining armor to deel with him. So thats what i read, there are more facts as to what he can do (magically) but i think an immortal being thats good with a sword is bad enough!

That does sound similar to what has done here

Yeah, thats it! The only thing is, like in today's description, the first one looked more like it, but it had tentacles (they look like extra arms, like in the right pic.) Good drawing! If you want more info, i'd be happy to comply, i just didn't want to make it longer than it already was!

maybe. maybe not. but here's a history lesson for you.
The Slender Man is an alleged paranormal figure purported to have been in existence for centuries, covering a large geographic area. Believers in the Slender Man tie his appearances in with many other legends around the world, including; Fear Dubh (or, The Dark Man) in Scotland, the Dutch Takkenmann (Branch Man), and the German legend of Der Großmann or Der Grosse Mann (the Tall Man).
The earliest argued reference to the legend is within the cave paintings found in the Serr da Capivara National Park in the Northeast of Brazil, which are believed to date from as far back as 9000 BC. These paintings show a strangely elongated character leading a child by the hand, but make no reference to the extra appendages.
The next known possible reference to the Slender Man comes from around 3100 BC in lower Egypt, with references to the "Thief of the Gods" or the "Thief of Kuk" becoming common place during the reign of Pharaoh Wazner. Hieroglyphic carvings representing the Thief were found in the pharaoh's tomb, who was rumored to have had some kind of encounter with the entity. The carvings resemble a strange figure with multiple upper limbs, one that has never been found in any other hieroglyph language.
Renowned German woodcutter Hans Freckenberg created at least two woodcuts featuring a character
he described as Der Ritter (The Knight) during the mid-sixteenth century that were discovered in Halstberg Castle in 1883. Whilst Freckenberg was well-known for his realistic depiction of human anatomy - something that was unusual among woodcuts of the time - these pictures featured a skeletal, multi-limbed character. Historians are unsure of the exact symbolic nature of the character, with some claiming that it is a personification of the religious wars that raged in Europe at the time, while others say it represents the mysterious plagues that have been believed to be the reason for the mysterious abandoning of the Hastlberg Castle and the nearby village in 1543.

The legend is WAY older then that.
Try -actually- reading. not just believing whatever you hear.
There are cave paintings that depict a long armed for christ's sake. Get a clue. Somethings you can't just explain away.

The woodcutting images were clearly edited and the other images I don't think are even referring to the slenderman

Part of the danger of Tulpa is really powerful ones can attack people other than the ones that imagined them. Talk and interact with people who never even knew they were possible.
Though, really powerful Tulpa are rare--and the properties of them are unknown. There is a chance that his appearance to children have him "eating belief" to power himself in a way similar to the Fay. Which not believing a Fay, or doubting them, is usually fatal (or very much injuring to them).
The difference is, Slenderman really is not phased by shouting, "I DON'T BELIEVE IN SLENDERMAN"... which puts him at the absurdly powerful Tulpa idea again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that sucks, guess you can't banish him then sense people won't stop thinking about him and/or believe in him. I read that to prevent a tulpa from getting too powerful one needs to set a limit as to how long it can live for, once it reaches the limit it dies.
I highly doubt fairies need belief to keep themselves alive sense no one knows for sure how long a faerie can live for
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It isn't a requirement for fay. It is just a power system.
Like how how electricity is not a requirement for humans. It can empower us--or it can kill us. Belief is a similar system for the Fay. Fay are essentially god like entities, thanks to them manifesting "belief-tech"... and it is possible to kill them with it.
As per a limit, or lack of limit on a Tulpa... only if it is brought into the world responsibly. Like why using Ouija boards is a terrible idea. No limits on what you bring into the world.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Belief tech?....Eh don't see why they need belief but whatever
True with things like Ouija boards, there's no telling what you could bring over here. Tulpas at least CAN be controled
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of the stuff brought over by Ouija boards have ways to be controlled if brought over in their proper way. A Tulpa in properly brought over could hypothetically be just as disastrous.
In the area with Fays. Yes, you are correct, they do not NEED belief.
Need to have something, and making use of something not needed to empower somebody further are two separate concepts. It is like a car and a car with air conditioning.
With the Fay, they have been using belief to empower themselves and garner them far more abilities for quite some time now. Putting them on par with some of the mortal gods.
The issue is the whole "live by the sword, die by the sword" addition that the Fays also suffer from when using belief to empower themselves. It manifested in such a way similar to the standard Geass system the Fays do.
This however does not touch how disbelief actually hurts them and harms them. It isn't a matter of not thinking or not having them in your thoughts. It is more ACTIVE disbelief. Yelling out, "TINKERBELL DOESN'T EXIST", "TINKERBELL IS WEAK", "TINKERBELL DIES EASILY" and what not is VERY destructive to what the Fay can and cannot do. The Disbelief doesn't even have to make sense... disbelief done in a format similar to the TimeCube [ timecube.com/ ] and Francis E. Dec Esquire [ www.bentoandstarchky.com/dec/ ] would devastate them, as it would be hard to set up belief in them.
Meanwhile, disbelief in the style of the followers of Eris [ principiadiscordia.com/ ] or Church of the Subgenius [ www.subgenius.com/ ] would result in a rather unpredictable (and equally horrifying) outcome.
It would be pretty much like relying on your computer to exist--and then having your operating system completely recalibrated drastically, or just shut down entirely.
Simply not believing in them does not bother the Fay. It is Active Disbelief that is what can be used as a weapon on them. Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files actually covers the whole notion of the Fay rather nicely. Probably a different system than what you use--but he researched a LOT of stuff.

Ok, informative but still a bit skeptical about Feys using belief as some sort of source for power but at the same time it makes sense, kinda like electricity and fire ^^ (the mortal gods bit uh whats the difference 
Well we're talking about beings whose rules and cultures are, to an extent, vastly different than ours
Again I personally doubt spirits and beings of any kind are affected by beliefs, especially disbelief (those two sites are just WTFs because I had no idea what I was looking at what so ever) however if they're using belief to magically power themselves then I guess disbelief as in shouting out the disbelief can hurt them
The other two sites, well one involves a semi-worship of an ancient Greek/Roman goddess of chaos while the other is more to that of an alien cult with, of course. an intent to use disbelief as a weapon against the beliefs of others
Personally I prefer the works from folklore and legends regarding the Feys and their magical powers but that's just me

Well, yeah... their tales is where I know shouting disbelief and actively not believing them harms them. Believing powers them.
As per Mortal Gods... Gods in various mythologies fall into two kinds. Humans that arose to the status of god-hood. Which is pretty much anything in the Canaanite, Sumerian and Babylonian Mythos. As well as what the tales about the Tower of Babel and Atlantis are mostly about attempting.
The Immortal Gods are created and maintained via belief. They show up in Shinto, Greek Mythos and Norse Mythos for the most part. The thing is: Greek Mythos has Titans that correspond to the Canaanite, Sumerian and Babylonian Mortal Gods, and Norse has the Fire Giants to correspond to those. With Lamia actually having her father be a Babylonian God by some early writings. She later had her father moved to Poseidon to give her more credibility as a monster. Switching parenthood from Mortal God to Immortal God--essentially.
Immortal Gods don't get harmed by disbelief--they just lose power. Until they become "the whispering ones"... in that they have no power, cannot talk with anybody--but their holy sites and consecrated locations still exist (and have power). Those use of their sites don't power them up, unless you know their names--but other supernatural effects still take hold. Reconsecrating them, causes a bit of an act of spiritual warfare, and can piss off other Immortal Gods who do hold power. Reconsecration does power up those areas however. They cannot die--but they can be cut off from all else that exists. Except the Immortal and Mortal Gods... which have a bit of an ethical decision to make there.
The Immortal Gods might have been Tulpas created by the Mortal Gods in an attempt to live on after "death"--but "death" for a Mortal God is different from "Death" of anything not "godlike". They can be brought back... but usually wrong. It is an effort to do what they did in Ghostbusters... more likely is EliYHVH bringing back Astarte/Ishtar and accidentally creating the Demon Astaroth (and having to lock HIM in hell--as even the gender was fucked up). Astaroth probably only exists due to Astarte's soul being locked in Eris' Golden Apple--allowing Titan Aphrodite to gain power, and leave behind Spirit Aphordite. Oh right... greek mythos has two separate Aphrodites running around.
The concept of "God" is something many have no researched... even though civilisation records are full of stories of people trying to get up and tickle the testicles of the gods.

In the case of disbelief... it is not shouting it. Any more that holding a cross stops vampires from bothering you.
You have to belief in your disbelief--just like you have to believe in the holy symbol. Otherwise neither will not work. Putting faith into your doubt. As weird as that is to describe in English.
Francis E. Dec Esquire and the Time Cube guy both say how they understand stuff with a HUGE conviction. Which gives it power. Not how possible what they say or do not say is... the conviction behind it.
Even then... it is easier to remove stuff via "fairy magic" as it tends to be called, than it is to create it. Fairy Magic is the act of repeating an affirmation ten or fifteen times while vibrating on the matter. Doing that regularly can possible add stuff--but it requires nobody to break it or take it down. As it is VERY susceptible to that.

With the other two pages for Principia Discordia and Church of the Subgenius...
The one following Eris Discord is actually more a worship group set up by Robert A. Wilson (RAW) that corresponded to his "Illuminatus" Trilogy and his various other books and thoughts. Which he is the most well researched in not believing they are well researched people out there. The guy has a beautiful mind, and thinks of the best things ever.
With the Church of the Subgenius... yeah... it is a parody. However it has given us the Doctor Dimento Show, Howerd Stern, Oingo Boingo, Weird Al and several others. It is based on Dada, Andy Warhaul, Andy Kauffman and was one of the influences of Punk, Juggalo and Juggalette groups.
