Modern?

Something like this, except with Slender Man appropriate colors & images. Progress is slow, but I'm getting there. :o

Also, the Mod Blue color I can fix. Does it look better now?

FUCK YEAH READABLE FUCKING NAME COLOR.

Also, I helped with the rank symbols ouo

YES. THIS IS GOOD.

^ There's a gif here. Also, fuck forumotions weird image delay.

Fuck, now I'm concerned for my friend. I think she's getting TOO into the Mythos. She keeps deciding, "hey, I'm gonna do weird proxy shit and say I didn't do it just to scare DarkShadows because that's cool it's totes real I am really being Slenderstalked!" and it's not only annoying, it's scaring the life out of me. Today I get on Skype, she sets her profile pic to some still from TT and says it wasn't her. I'm starting to wonder if she actually thinks that the Mythos is actually real and she's getting too into it. Maybe she needs to step back and take a fucking break; I'm concerned she's letting all this go too much to her head. But damn, she can't keep doing this shit to me. It's not funny and it's not very nice when I get on Skype and the non-rational lizard part of my brain decides to take over and go, "Holy shit Slenderman got my best friend".

Maybe she's just the victim of a hacker with a great sense of humour.

Also, I love that theme Hooligan. I can't wait to see it when it's complete.

Maybe, Etreo. But she has been dealing with a LOT of stress lately, and her reactions are leading me to wonder if maybe she has a problem with anxiety that's flaring up. She's called me up crying because of the stress in her life right now and I've had to talk her down out of panic attacks.

The thing that bugs me is this - she claims she's been finding stuff pertaining to TT in real life, when I know for certain she's doing it herself and trying to play like it's not her. That phone call I mentioned last time? Happened because she drew a picture of the Observer and was playing (I hope) like it was actually real. She's pretending she's actually being Slenderstalked and she's doing it in a convincing enough way that I'm starting to wonder if she's getting TOO immersed into the Mythos. It's scaring me. I'm afraid she's either a) using the Mythos as a substitute for real life in order to cope with her anxiety, or b) projecting her fears onto characters in the Mythos and, instead of using that to rationalize her fears and deal with them (as I've done before), is using it to give a reason FOR her fears and why she has them. "Oh it's not me, I'm fine, nothing wrong with me - I'm just on Slendy's hitlist!" She's started getting into this so much that if she did that same shit online, she'd be gamejacking TT. I'm worried she's not coping with her stress well and nothing I say or do can convince her that she's getting too far into this. I'm scared she doesn't know how to step back from it anymore; this person I've known since elementary school and that has become like a sister to me is acting in ways that look like she's trying to break away from reality just because it's stressing her out right now, and that terrifies me.

That actually sounds very worrying, Shadows...

Yes, exactly, Bismuth. I don't know what her issue is, but I know she needs to talk to someone that's not me. I'm not a shrink, just a concerned best friend and partner in Slenderverse-related shenanigans... And it's spooked me enough that I've been holding off on watching any more Slenderseries for a bit. I just don't want to go try to unwind from real life with the same stuff my best friend is using as a crutch; it feels... wrong.

You've got to try and make her understand that escapism through this medium is one of the worst things she could do. While it's better than Alcohol or Drugs, to allow yourself to be intertwined with such a naturally dark and horrific universe is really not a great course of action. If you know anybody who can talk to her, you should. She mightn't react well, but she'll understand eventually.

She doesn't feel like she can go to her parents, whom she thinks will just tell her to "get over it", but there's two sides to every story. I'm gonna get her some connections to a counselor of mine, I think it might help her work through some of that anxiety if she can find someone who understands her and can talk her through this kind of thing, someone who actually knows what they're doing.

I don't know your exact situation, and I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds here, but speaking as someone who has bad anxiety, getting her to a therapist is probably the best thing to do. Even if she were to stop with the Slender Man thing, there's a chance she could latch on to something else to avoid the real problem.

It sucks to be in that situation, whether you're going through it yourself or watching someone else go through it.

In the meantime, have some kittens, Shadows. I hope your friend gets better soon.

Thanks, Hooligan. She's always been an imaginative one and always liked getting a little TOO into things. It could be that she's doing that, immersing herself to have more fun with it... but it could also be one of the reasons above I've listed. I'm gonna talk with her and try to convince her to maybe see someone who can help. Thing is though she's restricted to her immediate area and county by travel, since she doesn't have a license and can't drive for health reasons I won't list here.

Fuck not being able to engage Trickster Mode.

:c

FUCKING MOLTEN LAVA PIZZA ROLLS

Oh fuck BananaBrains, I know that fucking feel. :c

You fucking know it's coming every time too, but you still bite into that shit like you're Superman, thinking it won't be that bad UNTIL YOU LOSE ALL YOUR TASTE BUDS AND PAIN IS ALL YOU KNOW. For the next five minutes, at least.
Fuuuuck.

And then your fucking tastebuds are scalded and everything sucks to eat later on. :c

Some people just can't hold their arsenic let their food cool off.

They had it coming.
They had it coming.
They only have themselves to blame.

If you'da been there,

I betcha you would have done the same!

Anyhow, fuck passive-agressive assholes in chemistry lab who don't want to listen to the reason why the reading on the really nice expensive scales is making the last digit of the mass reading of a hot fucking beaker keep increasing when the professor already explained that was because of convection currents inside the enclosed scale, then tell you that the clearly explained answer that you just asked the professor about to be nice and helpful to this person doesn't make any sense and can't POSSIBLY be correct (because of course, THEY are always right and fuck the police). Then when you lose your beaker tongs and think they might have taken them (why wouldn't you? They're being an ass to you, after all!), so you ask to borrow them because you think they're yours, and this person gets all up in your face and goes "well there's a million beaker tongs that look like that" acting all defensive so OF COURSE you think he took it and just won't give it back, so he continues to yell at you until you go fuck it, this isn't worth it and go get another pair of tongs only to find that your stupid-ass deskmate took them when they were clearly in YOUR GODDAMN WORKSPACE. And THEN later, the asshole yells at you for sitting down at a scale you thought was empty and not being used because, fuck, it wasn't, and they wanted to use it, so you have to ditch your reading and go to another fucking scale, all because they're a picky asshole. And THEN you try to be nice one last time when they lose their pen, and they get passive-aggressive about it and say "Oh well my pen looks like yours, but it's okay because I have another one that's just as good."

Fuck people, fuck life, fuck scales, fuck beaker tongs, and fuck pens.

I know your feels shadow. What were you doing in Chemistry, just out of curiosity?

Spoiler'd due to possible offence to Christians.:

Fuck Insomnia -__-

I was just calibrating glassware, it was the first fucking lab of the year. -_-

And no offense Etreo, but I make it good policy NOT to touch anything about religion ever and NOT to get involved with people like the one you're talking about. I'm not giving any opinions here but I will say that maybe you should just learn to ignore people like that instead of engaging when they start up. I've gotten a bit of it too, being Agnostic myself, but when people start that shit I usually just go, "Look, we're not gonna agree on this, ever, but I'm not gonna debate with you about this. Let's discuss something else." And then if they continue I say, "Alright, well that's certainly something to consider isn't it? See ya around and have a great day. ^w^" And then I fucking leave. Because fuck letting ignorant people who can't or won't see outside their narrow little box drag your whole day down.

Fuck, my laptop battery is on the verge of becoming as useless as my appendix. :c

That's what I usually do, but I was really in a bad mood that day, I think I threw my English Exam. Fuck exams first thing in the morning.

And bismuth, if you needed to eat grass and you had a decent amount of chemicals and tools for genetic engineering on you, your appendix would be quite useful.

Fuck youtube. I've been trying to watch this hour long video and it keeps fucking stopping every few minutes. I don't mean it's buffering - I mean the video actually ends, which means I have to refresh, skip to the part I was at and watch for a few more minutes until it happens again. Rinse, repeat. Fuck.
