Kate deserves more recognition.
Lauren and Kate go ( i do dare )
u devil /lh
anyways there'll be uh. heavy lauren and kate bias here but it's okay lmao
LAUREN
Full name: Lauren Belle Woods; quite a fancy choice but hey it flows
No set DOB, but I can see either Aries or Taurus. Aries is more the lean I'm feeling
Lauren's household dynamic is a little more down-to-earth meshed with conservative. She was raised by her grandmother with no apparent contact to her bio parents. There also is an absent father figure here, as is with this whole trio (not intentionally- it just kinda happened lol)
She cuts her own hair to save on expenses, but it's usually just a trim or thinning. Her hair rarely goes past her shoulders, and if it does it's been a rough season.
She has a romantic interest in afabs, but because of her upbringing ends up with amabs more frequently.
Stoner. Don't ask me why, but she feels like the mellow person at a party and ends up with wallflowers.
With this, she probably had the heaviest scene phase out of the trio.
Doesn't really come around to Kate's that often anymore, but she did still attend Beth's funeral out of respect.
Probably has her life most put together out of the three of them: She's got a degree in interior design from an out of town college, can make ends meet on her own, and she plans on settling down.. eventually.
That doesn't dismiss the sights she sees out of the corner of her eyes, though.
She's currently a stable meds taker, with only one prescription, but she finds each week that goes by it doesn't really help?
Despite having things put together, she'd rather stay in Oakside for nostalgia sake.
Stubborn, but she's also the friend to walk behind the group on the sidewalk.
KATE
Full name: Katherine Elizabeth Hayes (cough u see the naming trend)
She's a gemini. May 23.
Obviously Kate grew up with their mother, but she was borne of an affair Beth had with one of the Oakside figureheads; Kate doesn't really know who the father is, as Beth won't budge on it.
Her relationship with her mom is decent enough around the house, but it is still a strain on both ends. They just butt heads a little too much.
So.. Mommy issues + fatherless activity = she/they bisexual???
Especially when it comes to C.R. Kate doesn't see the red flags when staring dead on at the flagpole.
Probably went to school for something athletic or bio. Either way, they would've gotten as far away from Oakside as possible with a scholarship through softball.
Yeah. Softball. Pretty buff lady,,,
Unlike Lauren and C.R., Kate is a loudhouse. She oversteps a lot of rules and doesn't care too much of others' opinions.
She's just vibing bro!
Their friends probably bailed them out at least once or twice.
Cool older sibling energy
Yellow is definitely her color. Along with purple.
Her and Charlie are related! It's very distant, but there is overlap, and it explains why their kin struggles with that Thing.
Kate's a little dense with Lauren's feelings. She won't really see their best friend as anything more than platonic.
I see a lot of people talking about her being in her teens? Completely valid, but Kate (along with the other two) are in like their mid-20's. Hell, Lauren has a job and Kate lives solo.
She'll drive to town every once in a while, but it's really for them to get away from that Thing's influence long enough.
Kate is the source of things here; not directly, but they did kinda reignite it in her youth.
They have a couple of diagnoses, but she prefers to keep each to themself.
Kate has burn scars. I do not and will not take any criticism on this.
Probably would've been a Doc Martens person.
TLDR? CEO of dumbass.
i need more words to express these two in full; i just love afabs,,,
(sidenote i have an older post on kate hc's, but i don't really find myself attached to them as much? link is still here if you're interested, though)
soon
anyways arrival fanbase how are we feelin 👁👁
hi your admin is depressed and facing a lot of shit so hAVE CHARLIE FLUFF THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR
• Charlie grew up in his little life wanting to be a pilot: trains may be great but bro flying without getting high would be bomb.
• Beth Hayes would’ve been his godmother had not been for the whole big man® intrusion. It’s not their fault their bloodlines have always been family friends supporting each other.
• Ironically, Charlie sees The Chaser as a sane being who is there to protect him. Often their vessels would be found by the lake playing pretend or with whatever abandoned toys there were.
• This poor bby had insomnia and the Thing didn’t help his case: monsters under the bed not being real, huh dad?
• Lauren was his babysitter. 100%.
• He’d draw little blue blotches (intended to be stars) on this one classmate he had to remind her she had all of the galaxy in her blood- there was no need to travel far away and leave him behind.
if someone wants to make a small fanfic on that please it’d be great///
• Would’ve been the kid to screech at Siri for listening in on his conversations although he had his thumb on the home button the whole time without realizing.
• Not a sporty kid. We tried.
• He was clinically diagnosed with agoraphobia after his first year of school (which we don’t discuss), hencewhy he doesn’t seem intimidated to be playing out on the beach alone.
• His daily class journals consisted of saying how much he missed members of his family who had only been photographed and left around the farm. (i.e. Frieda Matheson, Clarence Matheson, and Walter Matheson)
• Speaking of the farm, he always got to play hide & seek within the silo; he was also the one singlehandedly trying to build that treehouse...
"Kids can't differentiate fictional and real worlds."
Bullshit. These two girls were at least two years older than me, and even I knew the difference. I was in this fandom, I was devastated at the news, I was praying she'd be okay; she didn't deserve this, and we didn't deserve a much more morbid reputation than we already "had." If there's ANYTHING I remember from when this happened, it's how my fifth grade teacher ASKED my friend and me if we'd ever do something like this (right in front of the rest of the class, too). We both said no, and it's been like that ever since. I find it to be both the kids for not growing the hell up and even the parents! If this isn't the first time they've shown violence, then why didn't you stop them before? Why didn't you monitor them? If anything, it's not the fandom's fault. It's not Knudsen's fault. It's no one's fault but theirs. They were well aware of it. They knew they were going to commit a crime. And at what cost? Their best friend of all people. I'd also like to mention how many laws they're defying. Now I'm unaware of if they got the actual permission to use slendervlogs or not, but I can tell you that people make a living off of these original creations. Troy, for example. He's got a wife and daughter, and I remember him selling copies of Marble Hornets at GMX this past month. He's not doing it to start a cult, let me remind you. He's doing it to make a living off of it. If these people are ruthlessly stealing clips and creations, they need to be stopped.
Apologies if you read all of this, but I think it's important to know that this happened a long time ago, and a lot of us have grown with it knowing whose fault it truly was.
Hey, i know everyone already knows about this but theres a Slenderman documentary about those two kids who stabbed their friend coming out in 2017. They use footage from slenderseries and are probably going to do nothing other than make Creepypasta and Slendervlogs look as if their to blame. Stay 3000 miles from this.
(Special thanks to @them0rtal for making the post that helped me realize this is even happening)
#1: On June 22nd at 10:00 a.m., the official Slender: The Arrival Twitter account (@/PlaySlenderTA made a post. It contained a 13 second video, along with the caption "He's waiting... #slenderman #slenderTA".
#2: At 10:07 a.m., the account for Blue Isle Studios quote retweets this post. They add the caption "The countdown has started: slenderthearrival.com".
Following the link will lead visitors to the promotional website established for the game. Underneath an image of Slenderman, a countdown can be found.
This countdown is set to end in roughly 34 days.
Beneath a link to the Youtube upload of the teaser video, visitors also have the option to provide their email addresses in order to "stay tuned".
Aside from this teaser and the updated website, no other details about the project have been provided. Fans have begun to speculate on what this announcement could mean for Slender: The Arrival, and what type of product is being teased.
A remake/remaster of Slender: The Arrival. Due to the updated graphics in the teaser video and the fact that it references a scene towards the ending of the original game, many believe that this is a hint that The Arrival is getting a face-lift.
A continuation of the original game. Some fans, while playing the teaser with audio, have noticed that it contains the sounds of male breathing. Assuming that the figure on the stairs is Charlie (since he is the one guarding the stairs in the original scene this teaser is referencing), this breathing sounds too mature to be coming from him. This has led many to theorize that this could be a new protagonist, likely to be an adult male.
A port to Switch, PS5-exclusive remaster, etc.
It is currently unknown what will happen once the countdown ends. Many are assuming there will be an official reveal (trailer, proper announcement, etc.), which should finally confirm what exactly it is in regards to The Arrival.
I will be keeping an eye on this as best as I can. If anyone finds any extra information, please reply to this post!
YOU BET KATE IS PERFECT LMAOO
What are some clumsly things the pastas have done ?
Jeff once stabbed himself while playing just dance
Ben has a habit of not looking were he’s climbing out of, so sometimes when he climbs out of tvs or whatever he doesn’t realize that the tv would be like 6 feet off the ground
Toby is the definition of clumsy
LJ trips over his own feet alot
Kate is perfect
I'll take some Kate headcanons. She is pretty cool, and I don't hear much about her.
Oh my god oh my god I swear when I saw this I cried for a whole ten minutes because thank everything that you exist.
I’m not sure which subjects you want, so I’ll put different categories under the cut…
(TW// Mention of suicidal content
Home Life : “Beta” Kate…
•Lived alone with her mom- never knew who her dad was due to a pre-birth “accident”.
•Loved sleeping in… ALL the time.
•Played piano in her free time; if given the chance she would’ve taken a free ride through composition and performances.
•She’s not one to cook, but it comes the few days out of the year where she will.
•Attended Little Ranch High along with CR and Lauren. The bus ride would be an hour or longer and sometimes the occasional substitute driver would hear the Matheson rumors and not even drive them.
•Always did homework and other assignments in her room.
•After the North Cross note found in the game (It’s like scrapbook item 9 or something) and events in the original Eight Pages, Kate attempted to hang herself because of the constant pain from that thing. Since it was in the middle of latching onto his vessel, it was definite he’d bring his worst game only so she would soon be greeted with his true torture after.
•Closer to Lauren than CR; he seemed to always put Kate on edge within the last couple of years.
Lone / Chaser Kate…
•By now she’s been burned half to death; her lungs and throat have been dried of any near possibility of speaking. (She eventually does spoilers hah)
•When she was latched by the thing, she unconsciously decided CR would be the sacrifice to end the Hayes/Matheson curse. Of course, it still lingers and doesn’t piss off.
•She’s an isolated being who is haunted by manipulated thoughts it’s created to taunt her; most consist of her mother’s words and Lauren’s poorer actions being replayed in her mind. This can be assumed why Kate would have a reason to attack Lauren.
•As a way to survive, she often cannibalizes her few human victims and otherwise feeds off of small nearby animals or berries. Worst case scenario… it’s sticks.
•Bathes in a nearby river or Oakside Lake (Seen in The Eight Pages/Memories), but even then smells like ass. Someone give her a damn hot tub to relax her sore limbs in.
•Was occasionally able to interact with Charlie Matheson; this ended quickly due to her sharing with him and acting as though she were a sister or mother to him. The thing eventually killed him off in front of Kate by pulling him apart. This was the first time she had felt misery since becoming the monster she is.
•The thing labels her as #4 and claims it’s due to her “importance to it/how worthy she is”. She does not and has never interacted with the other three due to #2 being claimed dead and #3 deemed unspoken of. #1 is probably most mentioned as a “role model to follow behind.”
Stranded Life: “Alpha/Stranded” Kate…
•If she were to escape the thing’s grasp, which is very near impossible might I add, she’d have to tolerate a lot of therapy just for her mental and visual strains.
•She wouldn’t be able to accomplish her original intention of being a schoolteacher before everything went down. However, she’ll still silently volunteer wherever possible.
•Kate still has access to her mother’s house, and she’s usually hanging around there with a sliver of freedom.
•Upon initial “release”, the girl herself is temporarily mute from pulled vocal chords. She learned sign language and taught casual visitors/tourists/investigators some of the basics.
•She’s still assumed dead, so the case on The Chaser is dropped.
•Literally could drop dead any moment ?? She isn’t in the best conditions.
•Writes stories and scraps characters as her fictional friends due to the absence of any live ones. Her favorites are the beings representing Charlie and Lauren.
•Her “sliver of freedom” simply means she’s still faintly tied to that thing. She can’t necessarily escape, but she’s fled enough to wander as her own existence.
*Fluff Bonus: Gets her own pet dog or something. Possibly meets up with #1 through crazy coincidences.
“animation isnt hard,“ i said . “well prove it asshole“ dad said, pushing his animation program towards me . i was proven wrong
the timing gets weird at the end but im dONE with this
mood
[dont tag as kin/me/etc pls]
Although he seems like an asshole, it doesn't take much to flip a switch in him; probably crack open a beer with him and you'll go on an adventure of stories and see a much different Jeff.
big fan of ruining jadusable’s lore and carrying the arrival on my back
