Creepypasta Headcanons

While I will refer to everyone as Pastas in this headcanon post, every monster in my stories are not called Creepypastas. They're a varying range of paranormal entities, god-like and demon like entities or otherwise otherworldly creatures; not Pastas. This is because Creepypastas aren't necessarily a thing in my universes. Instead, each individual is a mix of folklore that was actually truth (such as Slender), serial killers with varying mental disorders that had a breaking point and snapped ( take Jeff the Killer, Liu, Eyeless Jack, etc) or paranormal entities looking for some sort of revenge (BEN, Sally), or anything else you can think of. This is because in these stories, it's basically a 'what if this is all real life' type of thing. Yes, stories of varying entities such as Jeff are widely circulated after each of their given incidents, though are considered hearsay or, in Jeff's case, likely believed that he either ran away after killing his parents, took his own life somewhere after the incident and police were unable to find the body, or what have you. People like Jeff the Killer and Jane aren't widespread, and there aren't any fangirls rushing to meet them and the likes. To sum it up: unless they have folklore behind them, such as with Slender and the Rake, it's unlikely anyone knows of them directly except through rumor or if they had a first hand account of them; and even then, there are likely cases where the victim went unbelieved in their story of a man with a burnt up face, no eyelids and a wide smile as perhaps the victim was in some sort of shock during the ordeal and perhaps over did the description.

Tim and Brian are, for all intensive purposes, the characters from Marble Hornets and not the ones the community hijacked into the fandom (though I still like them, too). So there will likely be mentions of that during their time in stories.

Slender doesn't give a flyin fuck about anyone in the house (nor anyone he stalks) and their sexuality, gender, race, etc; black, latino, gay, lesbian, non binary, child, adult - he'll stalk and kill you regardless. He's all about equality, after all. I only mention this one cause I've seen a lot of stories on here where Slender's like, "Nah, fam," when it comes to gay relationships and like -- he's an ancient entity who preys on people for whatever sick reasoning he has. You think he really cares if someone's a little glittery when he kills them. Hell, a gay Proxy mind blend in more than a straight one lmao

There's no such thing as Slender having an office, his own bedroom or anyone doing paperwork over missions. Yes, they do go on missions; but the Proxys have begun referring to them as such, if only to feel a bit more human. Plus, wouldn't Slender know in his own way who they needed to 'take care of', as well as remember who needs to be killed, why, etc? And seriously, paperwork. WHY WOULD AN ANCIET ENTITY NEED TO DO PAPERWORK DEAR GOD.

Some beings like Laughing Jack, BEN and Slender do not necessarily need sleep per say. In LJ and Slender's case, they're considered (in my book) Crypids and run more off of whatever they derive from their victims and so forth. With BEN, well, he's a ghost/poltrogeist. They all can sleep if they really want to, but otherwise they could go years without sleep. I imagine Sally is the same way as BEN, however due to still behaving largely like a child compared to BEN, she tends to keep the routine of sleeping (even if she's just lying in bed staring at the ceiling all night and not actually sleeping).

Going off the above point, entities such as Slender, LJ, BEN and Sally do not need to eat food. With Slender - well, firstly, he has no mouth unless needed to terrify victims or enemies (see: my final chapter in These Little Wonders) and, being an entity that stalks his victims, I'd imagine that's essentially how he 'eats'; by taking the fear, insanity  and other things from the victims as they escalate. With BEN and Sally - they, again, are Poltergeists. They can take a solid forum and eat if they haven't had a way to gain energy from victims (or in Sally's case other people in the house she's haunting); however it is very rarely and they generally are only seen helping make food. LJ is, well, LJ. Of course, more mortal entities such as the Proxys, Jeff and Liu need food to survive.
