Okay so I'm gonna try to do a review of I hope this is good 😭😭😭😭
So one of my favorite slenderverse series is Weeping Thorns (very minor spoilers)
It's very short (about 20 videos I believe?), it has a good amount of crossovers, the production quality isn't very good, the acting is alright, and the storyline is pretty basic. It's not very scary, so if you want it to be horror you'll have to have some good suspension of disbelief honestly.
I really like these things though!! I think that it being short works in it's favor as the storyline really couldn't continue on for too long.
Not having a good production quality is a big part of slenderverse- it was just normal people getting out with a camera and filming with their friends. It also works a lot better when it comes to the slenderman appearing. It puts you more on edge and encourages you to look for him!
The acting isn't super good I'll be honest. However, I think it makes the characters more believable. It doesn't feel like "oh welp saw this spooky thing let me tell my life story to a camera" it feels like someone awkwardly recording a video when they aren't used to it!! It makes sense and helps me empathize with the characters a bit more.
The storyline is very basic and we never really resolve it? This doesn't bother me too much because I like the way everything is done and I like the characters enough to excuse it but this could be an issue for some. It's just your standard "my friend went missing!" with cult stuff later on.
The editing is 50/50 for me. I think that the way slenderman looks in the series is kinda bad, out of place, and a little tacky. But I really like the glitching effects they do when he's around!
Things I think they did well:
It's charming, I enjoy the characters, I like the glitching for when slenderman appears
Things I don't think they did well:
The acting isn't very good at times, the storyline is lacking, slenderman doesn't look very good in it, the ending isn't satisfying
Also, I just don't like icanseethegiant so that crossover just annoyed me a bit and felt really out of place
While the series does have a lot of issues, I'm not watching slenderverse and expecting like crazy high production quality. It was very charming and I had a good time watching it, which is all that matters to me.
I'd give the Weeping Thorns 8/10

hey check out this wild shit. a couple of weeks ago i was playing neopets, and i was doing dice with count von roo, right. d6 roll off, score higher and gain a level, score lower and lose a level.
tie and get the option to double the stakes
so i rolled the dice (1 level at stake) and i tied.
so i rolled again (2 levels at stake) and i tied.
so i rolled again (4 levels at stake) and i tied.
i didn't start taking screenshots yet.
i rolled again (8 levels at stake) and i tied.
i rolled again (16 levels at stake) and i fucking tied.
THAT was when i started taking screenshots
SO I ROLLED AGAIN (32 LEVELS AT STAKE)
AND I TIED
so i rolled AGAIN (theoretically 64 levels at stake but actually only 35 because that was all the levels i had)
and after 7 rounds of ties I FUCKING WON
