#i also had the thought to write a silly toby x reader based on this

[uncannydevotion]

I assume your deception of slender is that he’s an awful person/creature that ruins people’s lives and forces them to work for him. May I request how the proxies would react if for whatever reason, slender died. What would they do? Are they free? You can include reader in here somewhere since this is an x reader blog, or you can simply jsut talk about the proxies themselves

my depiction of slender is than it's an eldritch being with limited understanding of humans. it understands that it needs humans to do things it can't do, however, and knows that no human would work for it willingly which is why it goes to drastic measures to ensure absolute loyalty from its proxies and typically only targets people who are already in vulnerable situations since they're easier to break, i suppose. i think that other than the proxies, it couldn't give much care on what humans do and don't do. it's like.... a horrible boss, i think.... but there's no hr you can report it to.

i'm honestly not sure if it can die. i don't think it knows either, but it certainly does fear the thought of death. but yeah sure let's say that for whatever reason, slender just... disappeared. be it death or some other reason.

masky wouldn't outwardly show it, but he'd be thrilled that it was gone. he had always been on the more obedient side, doing as slender wants without much question and forcing himself to not get attached to anything lest it view that thing as a distraction. with slender gone, he's... free, and it's definitely a scary thought, but he had never fully left society even after becoming a proxy, and it wouldn't be that hard for him to integrate back into it.

hoodie probably played a hand in slender's disappearance. or not. who knows, because he certainly won't tell. either way, he is utterly delighted. once he realizes slender is gone, he's already making plans. he's the one proxy slender could never gain full control over. his obedience wasn't stemming from loyalty, and he was very open about how much he despised the creature. he definitely seems like the type to have been saving money, probably stolen, to ensure that he and masky can find a place to rent for a bit while they find real jobs. overall, he's going to be least impacted by slender's disappearance.

toby would probably die, i'm going to be so real. to me, i headcanon that he's sustained so many injuries in his time as a proxy that slender started to share its lifeforce with him because his body was starting to just... shut down. he became dependent on slender for survival, and if it just disappears, then all of those injuries will probably catch up to him and his body won't be able to handle it. and if that doesn't kill him, then he certainly won't be able to integrate back into society like masky and hoodie. he'd probably end up becoming a hermit in the woods, waiting for the day slender returns because without it, his life is meaningless. he has nothing. no one.

kate... i'm pretty torn on, to be honest. i think she'd be similar to toby in the sense that she wouldn't handle its disappearance well. as slender's first proxy she's the most loyal to him, and never once thought about going back to her old life. though toby might be able to function without slender, kate i think would become catatonic in a sense. she simply cannot exist without slender because it became such an integral part of her existence and identity that with it gone, she felt empty. i don't think the others would just abandon her like this, though. toby would want to take care of her, he sees her as an older sister in a sense, but he's not sure how to do it and has no choice but to turn to hoodie and masky for help. i think she'd end up in a hospital of some sort, or a psych ward.

Drew x Reader

Authors note: i am so so sorry this took so long, i was stuck in a massive writers block and only just started writing again, so I'm sorry if it's not great, i hope you don't mind that i gave each of the other girls names and i hope you enjoy! Thank you for the request! I also don't really know much about parkour since i am not a sporty person at all, i still hope i did your vision justice.

Request: the reader has a parkour team ( all girls) and they catch storror's attention with their baddie videos, and both end up doing a collab on a fun video! ( Hide and seek? Escape a pit?). Drew and the reader could have cute interactions, silly moments and anything that comes to your mind.

Synopsis: You and your group of friends, who'd gotten into parkouring got noticed by STORROR, you colab in a Escape the Pit video, shenanigans and feelings ensue.

Warnings: None

WC: 5.8k

You had loved being sporty all your life, even when you had been a child you ran around all day, you were a part of multiple clubs during your time at School, all of them sports based, at some point during your early teenage years you'd found a love for parkour, you just found joy in jumping all around your small town, you had soon infected your friends with it. And soon enough you'd found yourself with a small group of your friends just jumping around, doing tricks and having fun.

You didn't know when but at some point you'd started filming your little escapades, at first the videos were terrible quality and rather bad but over time they got better. One of your friends Maddy had the idea of posting them to YouTube and you agreed and so the channel Riot Parkour was born.

Your little troupe was made up of four People, You, Maddy, Adriana and Cat. Your videos at first were just stupid silly challenges you gave each other but as you and the Chanel grew in fame you started looking through the comments for suggestions. One of your most viewed videos was a video in an abandoned water park, it felt weird and pretty bad to be sneaking in but you did it anyway, the video consisted of you four exploring the park and doing some tricks when you found places to do them at.

Of course being a group of friends, shenanigans ensued, with each of you giving more and more crazy challenges. Like Cat challenging you to do a lache off a metal bar attached to one of the many slides and land a crane on a small ledge. Safe to say you wiped out the first time but managed to do it after a few tries.

None of you had any idea as to why the video blew up so quickly, after all it was the same formula of all your other content, just you four having fun being stupid young adults who just so happened to like parkour, but it did and it caught the attention of Storror, now to preface this, you'd been a big fan of Storror for a long time, did you ever think they'd talk about your troupe in one of their videos?

No you didn't, and yet it happened, safe to say you had a freak out when you suddenly heard the name of your YouTube Channel come out of Toby's mouth, you immediately sent the clip to your friends and they had similar reactions to yours. You genuinely believed that would be it, they knew of you and that was that but oh boy were you wrong, because a couple Months later you got an email, an email from the Storror team, you thought you were dreaming when you saw it. They were currently in Europe on a trip and were asking to meet up for a Video. You immediately talked to your friends about it, deciding if it was even worth it, for all you knew it could also just be a fake out.

You eventually decided to just say fuck it and accept, you'd talked to the team for a while, deciding on a date and where to meet. Eventually you came to an agreement and once the day came you were all rather excited, even though Maddy was still unsure if this was actually Storror. Once you arrived at the meeting place, an old parking garage attached to a Hotel and saw the boys, you thought you'd faint on the spot.

It wasn't a secret in your group that you had a crush on Drew, but that was all it was, a stupid little crush on a YouTuber, everyone had those at some point in their life. The four of you walked towards the group and everyone introduced themselves, the first few hours were spent just getting to know each other because after all you had all been basically strangers before this.

Eventually Sasha explained what you would be doing, you couldn't help but grin slightly as Sasha talked about an escape the pit Video, there was a big moat near the Hotel which your group had visited a few times already but you'd never tried escaping from the bottom. The eleven of you walked over to the moat.

Drew and Max walked around checking it out while the rest of you just talked, soon enough you started filming and Toby introduced your group, you waved at the camera before clapping. "Today we're doing an escape the Pit video! We have this big Moat right behind us which just so happens to be our stomping ground." You laughed as you pointed at Maddy, Cat and Adriana "though i do have to say we've never actually tried jumping in and escaping from it so this is gonna be new."

Before actually getting into the thick of it you did some different tricks like strides over a row of beams that ran across a small area of the Moat, you tried and failed doing a Muscle up, leading to Drew helping you which Cat laughed at. Over the next hour or so you had a few cute and silly interactions with Drew, like when he caught you as you were doing a backflip since you weren't really sure you could make it without falling and you couldn't help but blush every time. But soon enough you all slowly made your way into the Moat before the guys went on to explain the rules, like that all of you had to use different ways to get out of the Moat. You laughed slightly as Maddy immediately took the most obvious and easy way out of the Moat, there was a rope hanging down which was attached to a wall, but the rope wasn't low enough to reach it easily. Maddy grinned "Sorry boys I'm outta here!" She grinned before taking a running start and running up the wall to grab onto the Rope.

Everyone laughed as Maddy slid down the wall before she was able to grab onto the rope, she slipped before landing on her back and laughing "That.... didn't work how i was expecting it to!" She called before pushing herself up and brushing her clothes off. You chuckled "I always tell you, running up straight walls doesn't work, you aren't exempt from Gravity!" Maddy just stuck her tongue out at you before trying again, the rest of you walked around looking for other ways out of the Moat, soon enough Toby found a viable option, there were a few holes in the wall, barely big enough to slip your fingers into and pull yourself up, if someone else managed to get up first they could help pull another person up from those hand holds.

Toby ended up taking that option since he was able to get a pretty good hold and was able to get up with the help of Maddy who'd made it up a few moments earlier. Sasha had decided to stay outside and film everything from the top, being able to help if it was needed. Over time more and more people made it up, now the only people still left in the Moat were you, Benj and Cat, you had found a way with two hand holds but hadn't been able to pull yourself up and eventually just gave up trying, leaving that way up to someone else, that person having been Max, Drew was looking around from the top before calling out that he might have found a way, you walked over before he explained. "I think there's some Bricks sticking out over there?" He said pointing to three Bricks that were in fact sticking out slightly. "Someone might be able to pull themselves up and climb out with some help, the question is if they're stable."

You shrugged "i can certainly try but I'm probably gonna need a boost to get up there." Benj came to the rescue, boosting you up as you grabbed onto one of the bricks, it seemed a little unstable but probably usable if you just pulled yourself up. "This one seems stable enough?" You sounded unsure but you really didn't have any other options anymore, both Cat and Benj had found a way to get up, Benj only staying in the Moat in case you needed a boost again. "I can probably pull myself up and grab onto the next one." You mumbled as you slid back to the ground. "I think i see a metal rod on the side that i should be able to put my foot on." You looked at Benj "can i request another boost, I'm just so tiny." You laughed, he shook his head before giving you another boost, you grabbed onto the brick again before pulling yourself up with a grunt, your hand almost slipped as you grabbed onto the next Brick. "Oh god i need to work on upper body strength." You complained as you lifted your other hand to grab onto the metal rod, you shifted your foot as you placed it on the brick that you had just been holding onto.

Now the problem was, how do you get further up, there were no more places to grab onto so you were kind of stuck without help and one person alone wasn't enough to reach down and grab your hand. In the end Maddy, Toby and Drew came to your rescue, Maddy held onto a small wall while Toby held onto her foot and hung down, allowing Drew to grab onto his foot and lower himself so you could grab onto him and climb up. "Oh my Knight in shining armour." You joked as you grabbed onto him and started climbing, grabbing onto Josh's hand to get the rest of the way up. You let out a groan dropping onto the ground "i really need to go to the gym." You joked before looking at Drew who had leaned over you "Tired?" He joked and you only laughed before trying and failing to hit him since he leaned back before you could make contact.

You had all rather successfully made it out of the Moat, other than Cat since she quickly found out that her planned way out ended up unviable since it started crumbling the moment she put weight on it. The rest of the group had to come up with a solution to get her out. You grinned at Cat as he finally got out "Well guess your way wasn't as easy as you thought." You teased to which she only flicked your forehead "oh shudup." She huffed before turning to the guys. "Ok what now?" She asked and everyone including you, agreed on food.

The rest of the day, which was slowly starting to turn to evening was spent eating and just talking, you ended up swapping numbers with the Boys, promising to meet up if they were ever in Europe again, or you flying out. A few weeks later the video was posted to major positive reviews from the Storror community, saying that your group was fun and you should Collab again, you kept in contact with each of the boys but none more than Drew. You could feel an amazing friendship building, maybe even more but you didn't know what the future would hold.
