OK so it's been a while since I wrote anything of particular substance so here's a different idea of his origins: reoccurring mythos, otherwise known as a trendy story.
This idea basically says "So, what if He isn't something sparked from Something Awful, but rather something rekindled?" All in all, it's a fairly useless distinction, since he's here now and everything, but who knows.
So, basically, what this means is that The Phenomena is a 'story as old as time itself' more or less. He's a being who his essentially a myth, and therefore a god. And if this is true, well, yeah. Good luck fighting a god, guys. I'll just be over here, writing like a tool.
OK, back on track. So yeah, He's got a lot of similarities to a lot of figures in myth. And the reoccurring myth idea can make a lot of sense, since it seems his 'style' is very modern. I mean, what sort of paranormal entity wears a fucking suit?
OK rambling a bit here but go with me. The suit has to mean that either this theory is true, that the 'He was created by SA' theory is true, or the 'He is one clever sunofabitch' theroy is true. Here's the reasons why.
If the reoccurring mythos theme is true, the suit is proof in that it shows that He adapts to the time period. I doubt He was wearing that suit in previous incarnations of His story. He was probably wearing clothing more time period appropriate (probably still in an upper-class fashion).
If the SomethingAwful theory holds true, then the suit is literally part of Slendy, and I don't think He'll ever be rid of it. The same as His facelessness and His thinness, the suit is part of what He is.
And then there's the theory that He's a lot smarter than we think He is, and the suit is all part of some well-crafted plot to get under our skin and mess up our resolve.
OK so yeah this whole suit business is pretty useless in the short term, but for decades in the future...
Alright that's a really depressing line of thought and I'm going to stop that now. Back to reoccurring mythos.
Sadly, this means The Phenomena will never die. Just fade into obscurity until one person, at some point, has his creative genes flare up in a burst of unholy energies and otherworldly douchefuckery and this all happens again.
Of course, this also gives us a means to combat Him. Just pull a Fahrenheit 451 and start destroying all evidence and stories about him.
Yeah OK this is a really depressing topic but, I mean, that's all there is to say about it. There's not a lot we can do against Him anyway. Anyhow, next time I'll mention the different realms of perception and why we're all boned even harder. Yaaaaay.
Oh yeah, I guess I'll weigh in on all this new Sage nonsense for all my adoring fans...
Considering the other six Sages are either dead, crazy, or Maduin, maybe it was time for the titles to be handed down? I really don't know anything about these three, but they seem confident, kind, and non-psycho enough? I'll have to read their blogs... Sigh. Even more reading. Oh well.
Alright, take care guys.
