#creepypasta musing

[crepey-pastries]

I know Stardew Valley has a ton of mods, but my question is whether it ever had molded the Creepypasta Characters in or made a whole mod rehaul where you're a normal farmer in a village of killers?

Wouldn't that be freaky as shit since you're providing produce for the town and the villagers all have a body count and if they didn't need you you'd be added to that count? XD

Also, imagine marrying one of the villagers like EJ and him being like, "Here I made you this :> " and it's a Kidney that if you eat drains your energy bar completely?

I dunno I feel like we took an L and missed the opportunity to have you be a simple farmer in a villager of killers and proxies smh...

I kinda got an urge to do lowkey world building with CP since its so broad and expansive you can really work on it and one of the things I wanted to do was organize a pecking order.

If you want to help me organize it I'd welcome it.

Operator's Proxies: So from the get go, I kind of like the idea of Proxies being the top dog but that's ONLY because they were taken by the Operator, chosen by him even. They're the most tortured, the most corrupted and in the pecking order are on the top because of it. They get the most benefits, they get the toughest missions, and if they want to they can push their weight around with the others because if they're threatened, that's affecting Slenderman and Slenderman, who IS an eldritch abomination with tons of power, won't tolerate it. 

So they're up there. If they're a Proxy of another killer/abomination however they'd be subzero, The Operator plays favorites. 

Kate, Tim, Brian, and Toby would probably be considered "The Top 4" best of the best. But with Tim trying to escape that's subject to change. 

Supernatural Killers: So Supernatural Killers would probably be the humanoid creatures, so you got ghosts like Ben or nonhumans like EJ hanging out here. The hierarchy measures how useful they are to the Operator, Proxies are up there because they're useful and controllable, Supernaturals however have a measure of freewill so they slot in as the second because they still can be useful to it and have more powers but you know, loyalty ain't there. They sit comfortably there, they can push their weight around if they want to but they're good. 

Human Killers: So this would be where all the Human Killers fall, no special powers- no non human abilities, they sort of fall here because they're useful but not that useful. Unlike Proxies who are humans chosen by the Operator they're kind of just there as backup. The supernatural killers are too distinct and proxies are busy? Send the Human Killers. Interestingly they can be seen as almost on equal footing with Supernaturals to the Operator but the Supernaturals just beat them by a smidgen because of their power. Mortality just ain't it chief. 

Beasts: Bottom of the barrel, these are the beasts CP, no mind of their own, kind of too animalistic. Useful but just kind of treated as pets. If they can't think or control their urges, beasts fall here and honestly they're not given much thought. 

EC's Species: So, I had this idea when I was younger that EC's species fall outside of the hierarchy. They can't be manipulated by the Operator/Zalgo/Eldritch Abominations but because of their versatility they're a mixed bag. They're kinda like insects, just skittering about and depending on the Operator's mood they can be hunted or contained to use especially if the eldritch abominations want to spite each other. They're outsiders through and through. 

And if you're wondering;

Nesha is Tier 1

Emma is Tier 2

And ArachNyx would fall either in Tier 3/Below because she is not with the group.

Idk if it's an L on me or the system I came up with, but the fact that Ticci Toby is a Top Dog of the pecking order, which means if he wants to bully the others/throw his weight around without consequences he can and the others just have to take it is a scary thought.

The Operator just gave the Quiet Kid in the back of class a weapon, and now we all have to deal.

[crepey-pastries]

I feel like I'd be more scared being trapped on a bus in the middle of two creeps than being chased by people deliberately trying to kill me.

Could you imagine trying to get home after a 10 hr shift at a minimum wage job? - You get off late, only have a two day break and you get cramped between like Jeff and Toby?

And they ain't even trying to kill you, they just saw you there decided the customers at your job didnt fuck you over enough and deliberately chose to sit next to you and got you cramped and now you're stuck there.

It's late, and you're scared when you get off, these assholes are gonna follow you, and it's just MM no, I could not! Go away.

See, it's the awkward situations and the horrific experience of sitting on a bus at night, you gotta look out for.

[crepey-pastries]

I know this is a messed up thought, but I kinda don't see Yihvn able to have kids.

Not because of a Proxy thing but I kinda think their genetics/past as a lab experiment has fucked them so badly they MIGHT be sterilized.

Idk yalls can tell me which you'd prefer, I imagine their immunities to viruses and infections did come with some costs. (Hell, I can even imagine their lifespan was affected, but idk if its cut shorter or longer)

It's depressing if you think about it because I've always written Yihvn to value personal autonomy and choice, and even then, their choice to have kids or be an average person is just ripped away from them.

Idk you tell me your perspective on their condition.

[crepey-pastries]

Okay, now's the time to do it; So we're going to be talking about "Human Killers". 

Human Killers are humans who snapped and chose to kill and at some point, they murdered a figure in their life (This could be a parent, bully, friend, etc- someone in their life) and are given an opportunity to become serial killers. Now, of course, I bet you're wondering; Well what makes them different from typical serial killers? And even Proxies? And to that, I say; Human Killers in the Creepypasta World essentially offer a piece of themselves to the Operator and are given certain perks. 

If you remember from my pecking order post (You can read about it here: https://www.tumblr.com/crepey-pastries/784668599030890496/drudges?source=share ),

- you noticed I put them almost side to side with Supernatural killers. However, if we were to rank them at levels, Human Killers are Third Tier while Supernatural Killers are Second Tier and that's because while they offer something to the Operator they're ultimately NOT important to it. It already has its Proxies, it doesn't need Human Killers, but Human Killers are Grunts, they take on small jobs, and the more they kill, the more it 'feeds' the Operator. They pick up the scraps for Proxies, and if a Supernatural Killer won't do the mission assigned to it, it goes to them. Human Killers are sort of disposable props. 

Now to the Perks: 

The Perks to offering a piece of themselves to the Operator are small but pretty beneficial, with three of them being:

They have increased durability.

Their crimes are sort of erased so they can escape without a trace.

They have what is called a "Glamour"

What is a "Glamour"? 

Well, this sort of ties to an old Quotev Quiz I remember doing, but Glamour is what makes their appearance so grotesque, it's essentially a cloaking ability Human Killers have that helps make them hide their identity. It works for intimidation and makes it easier for the killers to sort of kill and frighten people whilst in their off time they have their true appearance. Sort of like a work uniform when they're out hunting because if they're killing, they're helping the Operator in some way. 

But make no mistake; The Glamour is not a pleasant experience. You got to understand these killers are not to be admired; They are mentally, emotionally, and maybe even physically stuck in the worst moments of their lives. Life goes on, but they are stunted and never allowed to grow, and the Glamour feels unpleasant. It's like feeling the physical sensations of their Glamoured form in real time and struggling with their skin feeling as if needles are digging under their nails and eyes. It's not pleasant, but that's actually the point. It's supposed to urge them to kill faster or more violently. 

One Drawback 

Now as for the other two abilities, well they're a given however there is a drawback: Human Killers ARE mortal. Make no mistake, while the Operator offers this to them, it doesn't actually care about them and while they can withstand a bit more than an average human, if they get killed, they're dead. The Operator only prioritizes its Proxies. Everyone else is inconsequential. Remember Human Killers handle the dirty work they get to kill and live free, but it's not a promised life of hedonism forever. If someone tries to kill them, they can die, and their time is limited depending on how bored the Operator gets with them; It's a bum deal. 

Extra Facts: 

Humans who mutilated themselves or got mutilated are more often than not, the Operator's pick. 

What the Human Killer offers the Operator is a secret to the grave; It can range from their soul to something minor like their favorite toy as a kid- Whatever they offer, though, has to have merit to them 

Human Killers are more prone to walk in their "Glamour" than their real selves. It's ultimately a cultural thing within the forest that Human Killers wear the glamour to differentiate them or put the difference between Proxies and them. Glamour being lowered is a HUGE risk and rare as it means the Human Killer is offering themselves at their most vulnerable. Glamour is a shield.

The more a Human Killer kills, the less the Glamour hurts. It still hurts like a bitch but the more lives offered to the Operator the less unpleasant wearing the glamor is.

Killing IS addictive. Because the Operator can't control Human Killers like it does Proxies, killing is 1000x more addicting to human killers than proxies and supernatural killers. Some killers are like junkies from it its like a drug slowly driving them crazy.

Anyways, if you want me to add more, let me know. This was fun.

[crepey-pastries]

Alrightie, I had this one baking in the oven for a bit but I figured I'd share it with you right now. 

So, the Slender Mansion. I don't really vibe with the idea it's this cool ass house; I hate to say it cause I'm NOT great at organizing mansion layouts but I always imagined it as not a home but a glorified asylum. There are many rooms, many doors, constantly expanding the more the Operator's influence spreads and the more forests it can corrupt and as such the manor and the forest it touches gets affected as well. 

What does that mean? 

Well I'd start with the fact that if a civilian/normal person were to walk into the forest, they would find that the forest is dead silent; There are no animals, no nature, nothing; It's a literal graveyard masquerading as a forest. But another thing is the colors are perpetually dull; In the Slender Forest there is no color. Everything is muted, drab, and gray. Colors that stand out are reds, blacks, and whites, and everything else is grayed out or dulled. The Operator does not like color; it prefers the environment to be oppressive. 

You want to know what's worse? 

There is no concept of time in the forest; Time keeps going, but it moves marginally slow in the forest. I am of the opinion that NO creepypasta except the supernaturals are immortal. They're still affected by time; the issue is that time is slowed by the Operator to maximize using Proxies for as long as possible. However, this does take a toll on their psyche. A mere 30 min feels like three hours and one day is like 2 months. It's not fun and it fucks with them hence why most of the creepypasta and proxies are mentally stunted. And the crazy part is they can still die and grow old; For a proxy and creepypasta living to 30-40 is an accomplishment! 

So yeah, that's a concept I'm working with. What's messed up is the clocks are affected too as if you were look at a normal clock the hands move slowly and a digital watches' numbers are ALWAYS shifting. Time is slow af in that forest!

[crepey-pastries]

Yknow I'm thinking about that one drawing I did and the more I think about 2012 and how most killers were pale as sin the more it makes me giggle because on the flip side of that it means if you had dark skin you were good- Slenderman wasn't gonna corrupt yo' ass and you weren't a target.

It's very interesting back then how it used to be like that and while it certainly was a time of petty ass drama and clique-y nonsense its fun musing on it and reflecting on how it changed.

I mean that was 13 years ago. I imagine things might've shifted a bit from then.
