I think I just got wattpaded in real life. I was at this cafe for an event and this girl kept on looking back at me every couple minutes as if she wanted to talk to me.

I had met her before at a few other meetings but had never really gotten the chance to make conversation. I smiled and said hi, thinking she wanted to join my group's silly discussion about furbies. Instead, she leaned towards me and said "I just wanted to say I think you're very pretty" and at the end of the meeting, told me, "dont ask for it back, I want you to have it", handed me a floral silver ring and bolted out of the cafe.

I wish I was kidding when I say the entire cafe went dead silent. After we all watched her run out, everyone turned their heads at me, waiting for a response. I was so flustered. I just stood there, I had no idea what to say. One person from the other side of the room eventually broke the ice and said, "I think she likes you!" Another person added, "I think you just got proposed to" and we all laughed. Either way, it was incredibly sweet but it feels very strange to have experienced that in person.

Today, I would like to commemorate an event which has laid a very profound impact on the internet.

Ten years ago on this day (06/08/09), a forum website called SomethingAwful held a photoshop contest titled “create paranormal images”.  The contest would require participants to edit ordinary photographs into creepy-looking images, and then try to pass them off as authentic photos on other paranormal forums.

Two days later, on June 10th, a user by the name Victor Surge would find this thread, and become inspired.  He submitted the two pictures above, featuring a tall, faceless monster which would stalk children, who would then disappear.  He called his monster “the Slender Man”. After this initial post, Surge and others would expand on the character and the story, creating one of the internet’s most famous monsters.  The Slender Man proved to be popular enough to spread to other websites, with 4chan, Deviantart, and TV Tropes all having their own Slender-Mania. On June 20th of that same year, another user on the SomethingAwful forums found the Slender Man, and also wanted to contribute.  Noticing nobody had made any videos yet of the monster, he sat down with some of his friends and planned out a video webseries involving a former college film student discovering and unravelling the mysteries surrounding Slender Man; this would become Marble Hornets, one of the first horror-themed ARG’s of the internet.

That all happened ten years ago.  Ten years of haunting the darkest corners of the internet, and Slender Man has built up a surprisingly dense resume, for a fictional monster.  Several popular webseries, a couple hit games, at least two movies, even inspiring other characters in seperate series like the Silence in Dr Who and the Enderman in Minecraft.  And all this within a ten-year period.

I think this just attests to how much humans can be inspired by an idea.  From a small handful of edited photographs, we collectively constructed a new monster which lurks in our nightmares, and now it almost seems as natural as the horror mythos he was based on.  For better or worse, the Slender Man seems to be here to stay. Happy Birthday, Slendy!  Here’s to hoping you continue to be both terrifying and terrific!
