I'm not usually the updater-person, but this one seems kind of unique. The main character, Hero, acknowledges the channel and videos as his own, but the videos were apparently uploaded by someone else as the descriptions refer to him in third person. And whoever is uploading them really doesn't want Hero, or the viewers for that matter, to find answers. There hasn't been much clarification on what's going on, but it might make more sense eventually.

Well, there are some weird things happening, i (and other people who are subscribed to it) just got this message in the yt inbox:
Also, there is a new video on the channel, but after that message i am kinda affraid that when i post it that i might get in trouble^^ (see the "Continue" video description:
Quote :
On this exciting new episode, we learn Hero knows too much due to outside help and needs to shut up and stop trying to find answers before any unwanted individuals need to intervene. We also learn that any overly helpful comment will be ip tracked and the poster will be dealt with, however, we have yet to learn how to disable comments on videos. Don't tune in next time, because if Hero's smart, he won't make another video!
);D
By the way, did you guys notice that the "/user" -name of the yt channel is "/user/HE00IS00A00LIAR00"? Interesting...

Just started watching it, and something struck me as weird.
Spoiler:
In the video "Alex," he touches a tree and get's blood on his hand. He says "I think the tree is bleeding." My beautiful wife pointed out to me that the bleeding tree is a Fear in the Fear Mythos.

Can we just talk about one thing? Something that makes it seem a bit more real than other series
Spolier:
On the Entry called "Branches", we watched Hero pull a FREAKING TWIG OUT OF HIS HAND. WHERE ELSE IN OTHER SERIES HAS THAT BEEN SEEN?

This is true Oh and thanks for posting, now i can update again :O
So, a lot of stuff has happened (i will put it in a spoiler):
So the message itself actually makes sense, and may mean it's the last one we get for now. Basically, this fourth PM reveals what we wanted to know...who Hero is.
Which means that our "Hero" seems to have different personalities!
Yet another PM, and probably confirmation that Hero is manifesting his identity into real people. No video.

This clearly confirms it now!
and after then, he got yet another message that finally sems to confirm who those weird people are that send the messages:

Ok, I got another PM which kind of helps to answer the question on who the UCM/UGM/UHM people were. I believe that UCM is a man named Conway Marshall. Here's the PM:
Quote:
Re:Please read Ignorant fools I was there all along
The link takes you to an entirely different channel, called "Conway Marshal: Exposing the truth of the M.E.E.C." The Monster Extraction Extermination Control.
They are apparently a government organization based on killing monsters with other monsters, and destroying the town/city they were based in (and the people too). One of the cities mentioned in one of the videos was New Comshine, which is the suspected location of Hero...interesting.
I don't know how relevant the channel is. There hasn't been an upload in 5 months. I'll try messaging that channel, I guess.
UGM and UHM are probably members of the same organization. This is all very confusing.
Also, more things The video for TailsFoxy, the one that was titled with a bunch of ones, has been deleted. Furthermore, the video he put up above me the last time he replied has also been DELETED (Before I could even watch it too...)
Thanks for that and also thanks for posting the video!

I have been having a conversation over PM with Conway Marshal. It holds quite a lot of information. I'll put it in spoilers, because it is quite spoilery. Instead of making a bunch of posts, I'll just edit this one over and over.
2/3/14 My response to "We warned you."
Quote:
A few things...
What will happen to Hero's psyche in his second psychological season? Will he have a different personality? Will he forget more things? Will he invent more unreal things?
What is the output? Is that what Hero is supposed to become?
Why were other people allowed to give me answers, if it would hurt Hero? Was it different people?
How dangerous is a nightmare, on a universal scale? (Nightmare vs. Black hole, which is more threatening?)
I want this answer most: How is Hero alive, if New Comshine was destroyed, or wiped out, or whatever it is that happens when you go from town to town, murdering the people there? Is Hero himself (not his world) not completely real?
And how come we could see Hero's brother in the Not a Mark video?
Finally, how can I get in contact with Conway Marshal? I want to know if he has answers, or personally knows (knew? Knows him as a subject?) Hero.
2/4/14 Conway Marshal's response:
Re:We Warned You Well since you insist on knowing, and it doesn't look like we can contain anything with these videos circulating, I will tell.
I wager that in your universe or timeline, New Comshine does not exist. From what I have been briefed on, the majority if not all outside influences, you people, exist in a 'verse consisting of a whole different history. Here, let me blow your mind a second, I'm currently typing this message in Geo-America's 51st state, New Comshine. So yeah, our tampering with memories and histories is what makes up your 'verse. Now, because what we do is based in the past, while ourselves are based in its future, things get screwed up. Take Hero for example. This guy was born back in '95 to a regular family, one mom, dad, brother. The problem here is that when [DATA RELAY FAIL] escaped into his happy little timeline, we had to go about screwing up memories to keep people who encountered it from posting on the internet (which if you didn't know remains constant throughout the 'verses and I have no idea why). So every, I don't know, one in a million people have trouble adjusting to our little brain tinkers, and that one happens to be Hero. See, our tinkering is kind of working, but not really, he is mostly aware stuff is not as it should be, with his brother not existing when he really did before all of this.
(I'll continue in a new message)
_U_. C
My response back:
Re:We Warned You Are you planning on finishing this, or should I pose another question?
His response to this:
Re:We Warned You So basically to summarize all of the last message, we mucked up, Hero didn't lose all his memories properly, and to make it worse, he's keeping a video log on a site we have no control of aside from sending messages.
Now, as for nightmares. I covered this a few months ago I believe on my channel. They are literal nightmares made flesh through the creativity of the entity we captured back between dimensions at the dawn of creation. The entity, we believe, is not God, but it basically fits the description of one; Large formless cloud of power creating things and sleeping. Well anyway, this thing has been in a state of dream ever since we captured it, and it's doing exactly what you would think a god would do. It's creating things, even in sleep, but what it is creating is directly related to its dreams. Now the idiot of our organization, Godfrey, the asshole that basically hates all of you people, was the guy who actually contained the god entity, and his methods were less than appropriate. Even I am not privileged to how he was able to contain it, but whatever way he used gave this thing an ungodly fear of humans. What does it create you ask? Oh, well imagine this. You are an ancient explorer and you just encountered a native of Africa (hopefully that place still exists for y'all) for the first time. The native attacks like five of your buddies and injures you and you run off back to your explorer boat. That night you have a frightening dream about it all. How do you see the native? Well, it is a human, but different then any you have seen (whites). Your brain recalls seeing a demonic, dark, yellow-eyed, human-like thing savagely attacking your friends, tearing their throats out, eating 'em etc. So basically your brain takes this scary thing you just encountered, and screws with it a bit to make it even more frightening. It exaggerates the fear you encountered. So the nightmares, they are human-like, yes, but they are not humans. This thing, this god, is creating feral, savage, humanoid monsters. We aptly call them "Nightmares".
THE CATCH HERE IS; Hero is not dealing with a humanoid nightmare. We believe from classification, he is dealing with a what closely resembles a shapeshifter, or skinwalker. Having an originally formless nightmare escape into reality is not a good thing at first, because it is basically invisible. What occurred was the first appearance the nightmare formed to was a tree, and thus, begins the Tree Man Hero has encountered nearly every time he has gone outside and filmed (Look closely if you do not see it, because it's there). Now, the Tree Man is going to realize being a tree sucks, and odds are it will soon, probably in a day or maybe it has already, shift into something more sentient, ie. a human or an animal. It's appearance though, will not be perfect, it'll probably be missing a face or some other part humans usually have. When that happens, it's going to go after ones with memories that were unaffected by our tampering and we have no idea why. So Hero is basically at risk for being killed by this thing. Why do we care? Well, /we/ don't, but I do.
Hero Marshal is my son, though not in this 'verse. He died shortly after birth in my timeline. So when I found out my AU wife had given birth to a living child, who had grown up, you can kind of see why I need to save him. If I can rescue him before the M.E.E.C has captured the nightmare, and eliminated this state from existence, then I can hopefully become the father I wanted all along. This nightmare is not very dangerous, but I pray for Hero's sanity. Psychological Season 2 is when our little brain tinkers clearly end up not working and the input (Hero) realizes that memories are changing. It's not good. I'll answer a few more questions if you have any.
_U_.C M
And my response:
Re:We Warned You Wow, you are actually informative, unlike those other cryptic assholes.
So in another timeline, Hero's brother DOES exist, but not in the one he lives in right now? How does that explain how we've seen his brother on camera after he supposedly went missing?
Is the treeman a tree that can actually move, or is it just a tree. If it is just a tree, is that the one Hero was stuck in in Branches?
How is Hero uploading into my timeline? How are you talking to me even? Does the internet span every timeline?
Also, there is a new video:

Ok, so the video "Not a Mark" has come back on the channel. At first, I thought the video "Insight" was also deleted, but I found out that some of the videos are actually locking and unlocking, i.e. You can only enter them if you have the URL Thank God the videos weren't being deleted, that's been making me paranoid.

So, here we go. I feel like I can say this now that the podcast is out. xD I like some things with this series. Aaaand, of course, dislike.
Spoiler:
The whole adoption thing is new and kind of interesting. And the part where he had the branch through his arm was amazingly done. HOWEVER. I have no idea why he started the channel. This seems like something a person would go through in private rather than putting it on youtube. It seems like he's filming as an excuse to do a Slenderman series. Also, I'd like some more explanation as to what exactly is going on. There are still a lot of things that just don't add up or make sense. They'll probably explain as time goes on, but for right now, this is how I feel about it. The Slenderman in...whichever the first appearance was (I don't remember what the video was called) looks like it was ripped directly from Slender the 8 pages. It was very saddening. Also, sources are telling me that this guy isn't doing a Fear series. HOW IS HE NOT DOING A FEAR SERIES? THE BLEEDING TREE IS LITERALLY IN THE SERIES. It really irks me when people are like "lol wat is a fear mythos" but DIRECTLY use a fear in their series. Call me biased because I love the fear mythos, but Jesus, do your research, people! DX And he's not the only person to do this, either, so don't think I'm just upset with this one creator. No, a lot of people do it, actually. Its a GIANT pet peeve. I don't think I'll be keeping up with this one anymore. Kind of sad. :/

Basically, the guy had a weird birthmark and people acted like they didn't hear him when he tried to explain it to him. When asking his mother, she would act strange about it. Another thing of significance over the mark was that his brother had the same thing, and he's been trying to figure out. I think he may have mentioned that his brother has passed away before, I don't remember.
SPOILER:
I'd like to say that in the video AFTER the Slender 8 Pages rip off, he said that he did that on purpose to try and "end the whole thing" and stop looking for clues about his strange birthmark, wanting the watchers to think he died. But he said that it was a stupid thing to do and that the series will continue on. You see the real thing at the end of the latest video, VID000009

Yeah, I did see that but its just like... I don't know kind of odd. Like, I'd like some answers. I'm sure they will come, but like I said I feel like its sort of...an excuse just to film? I don't know.
Spoiler:
I'm kind of glad he didn't do the slender game thing again, but its still there. Its a canon part of the series and that's just a major turn-off. Also my other beefs still stand. Just not my cup of tea, I suppose. xD

Oh hey there people. So I saw my good friend Sal made a thread about that thing I do here, but some people noticed the "bleeding tree" scene. Basically it was an unintentional joke. There was already blood on Hero's hands before he touched the tree, but because he's kind of losing his bonkers, he doesn't realize it. But yeah, it's not a Fearvlog and it kind of isn't a slenderman series, but I can't really go too far into the details. Unfiction is where the ARG portion of messages and background info is being posted, so that should explain a ton more.
