there's zalgo and his "family" which each control respective concepts in their world (think like the devils from chainsaw man...). zalgo is sealed away and cannot get to the other dimension which is why he has so many children, because he keeps killing his siblings and passing their powers onto his children because they're easier to manipulate. he wants that control for himself and he wants to plunge the world into total chaos under his reign. under zalgo are of course his children and his cultists, both of which are named "zalgoids" (which means "first borns" in zalgo's language). they typically live in the underrealm, which is reserved for monsters.

under the slenderman are its proxies, which are people that were broken apart and put back together. found family but evil, since they can't exactly... leave . like zalgo, slenderman typically sticks to its own dimension, using the collective and its other proxies to properly interact with the world since it can't exactly reach it. most of slenderman's proxies are children/young adults, assuming it hasn't eaten them. it sends proxies on "errands", and punishes them for stepping out of line. proxies wear masks to both give themself a new identity under him, and to "hide" from him. there are different types of proxies depending on what role slenderman needs them to fill, but it's not exactly a boss/employee relationship with them rather than a "ohh you'll be the older brother. you'll be the younger sister. you'll be the mom. this is fine." the slendermansion is its own realm, and an extension of himself, but since its proxies are (for the most part) human, they live on the overrealm unless taken into the mansion.

there is also the splendorman ^_^ splendor's proxies are NOT just alternate universe versions of slender's, they're each their own person, molded into the version of themself that splendor wants them to be. these are typically also children, but rather than spreading the operator sickness they spread kindness. i think if i ever did anything with these guys in any sort of comic it'd be like those cartoon filler episodes.

there are also HABIT and EVIL, which DO have proxies of their own i just... haven't put much thought into yet. lol.

1990

the homicidal is born

1993

the killer is born

before 2005

jeff Has friends . he picks on toby i guess idk

2005

sunday, august 14: jeff moves to a new house .

monday, august 15: first day of school (i had to look up when the first day of school typically is, and it said "third monday of august." the third monday of august is the 15th. woo), get jumped by randy

tuesday, august 16: liu gets arrested.

thursday, august 18: nothin.

saturday, august 20: billy's party.

hour later. jeff wakes up.

sunday, august 21: liu gets released.

jeff's face turned white, so it's safe to assume they were third degree burns, which is what i'm rolling with. this is also why he's bald but like realistically he'd have way less hair than i gave him. in patches !!!!

stitches usually heal in two weeks, and third degree burns typically take over 3 weeks, but for jeff's sake since we need to bump it up to a whole year to get the timeline right. one day per percent of burn, with pretty much his whole body burnt the heck up, means its safe to say it's over a month he was in that hospital. acid burns also take months to heal. they probably grafted it, but since jeff's face was white, i'm assuming they didn't

jeff leaves the hospital after his bandages are taken off, so i'm saying it took like. hot minute idk. has to be september i guess because oooo i cant remember what happened in september Haha !!!!!!! but like. eheheuehjdauhgbfbg.

jeff becomes a proxy

saturday, august 28: jeff the killer story is posted

liu didn't really have anybody growing up (except for. yknow. The mental illness) until jeff was born. liu devoted everything he had into that . very overprotective to the point its kind of suffocating, especially with jeffs mom practically breathing down jeffs neck to make sure hes the perfect golden child or whatever, when she basically gave up on liu. hesitant to get into details for fear of being wrong but this is also where the DID comes from (yknow, abuse and neglect)

liu kept jeff out of trouble for the most part but jeff continued to want more and more attention so he dabbled in a Little crime… mostly petty theft, graffiti etcetera. he was fairly smart and he didnt like covering his tracks because he wanted to get caught, he wanted the attention that would come from it and more importantly wanted to fuck his mom over since she wanted her perrrrfect little family or whatever, at the expense of, yknow, being a decent mom. he went to church every sunday and graffiti'd and robbed n stuff on the side. naturally liu took the brunt for all of it :broken_heart:

despite the difference between jeff and other people (see: npd n whatever else) he had more friends than liu had. because liu had literally nobody. and liu was like yknow what this is fine as long as we're cool. and liu and jeff were extremely close :]

when they moved jeff met jane and liu was kind of controlling over that too in that "hey here's what you can say to him etc etc"

jeff got freaky obsessed with jane. like he didnt have that sort of connection with anyone else before her (not romantic, he just doesnt understand friendship :broken_heart:) and its like. oh hey. this person was nice to me. well i guess we're best friends and she can never leave me now. this is the only person who's ever been on his level, and worthy of talking to him.

so he killed her family and friends naturally :heart: as a means of being like. hey, you dont need anybody else youre just like meeee we're bffs forever now yippeee yippee yahoo. despite her being the only one really on his level she wasnt quite there yet and he wanted . yknow. to actually be on the same level. maybe he wouldn't have done this but his thinking was kinda crazy impaired because of the whole brain damage but he really did wanna be friends with her. and she wanted to be friends with him (mostly for her image, since she was kinda in the mean girlsey group with dani marcy and erica. her dad was a cop. she was kinda the popular kid, despite feeling like she blended into the background a lot.)

so when his mom threatened to just get rid of him jeff lashed out and killed both her and his dad :p and liu by just like. well what if he wants to kill me too yadda yadda jeff is Extremely paranoid but he didnt want to kill him because i mean thats his brother. after he ditched everything smile dog swooped in and was like heeyyy you kill people right can u sacrifice stuff to me and jeff was like yeah sure i guess man, which was how he got roped into the zalgo vs slender stuff. like jeff had the chance to go back up until the point he met smile dog

cuz then it shifted from a "ohh god i just killed my family my life is over oh god oh god" to HEYY THIS IS KINDA NICE ACTUALLY

because he no longer had anything holding him back (aside from smile dog. but he didnt know that)

Typically, Zalgo has children for the same reason Slenderman has proxies: another means of controlling the world in some way. He, like Slenderman, is trapped in another dimension and this is just the most convenient method. of course, zalgo has cultists, but it's just easier lol. Both are called Zalgoids (children of zalgo) whether actually related to him or not, which leads to a Little confusion ... it's typically used in the same way the word proxy is.

there's zahir, eloise (stripes), eleanor, aleda, lazari... the list goes on and on and on.

lazari is, of course, the one with the most potential, being able to eat monsters. she reminds me of denji (chainsaw man) and nezuko (demon slayer) lol. not a lot of zalgoids know about her existence, since it's been kept fairly secretive on purpose

each one has an inner demon, which is one of zalgo's siblings (called naamalgoids, children of naamah) that have died and were trapped in a zalgoid . This inner demon is the source of their powers, since most of Zalgo's children are half-human, but being half-demon makes it significantly easier to learn other types of magic as well . each naamalgoid embodies a specific concept, hence why zalgoids typically have one Field Of Expertise

stripes had to go through intensive training which is 1: the reason why she's So Buff and 2: the reason why her inner demon doesn't genuinely impair her. lazari gets major bruising all over her body when she changes forms just because she wasn't and still isn't ready to use it, she was just forced into it by slenderman

a lot of other zalgoids have a good handle on their abilities, lazari was just never taught .

lazari's hungry form is NOT her final form, nor is stripes'. their demon forms usually heavily resemble their inner demon and they only really use them in life or death situations because it's extremely draining for both parties (the zalgoid and inner demon) since their human bodies aren't used to that.

it is extremely difficult to kill an actual naamalgoid, but zalgoids are fairly easy to kill since they're Usually human. if a naamalgoid were truly killed, because they "are" the concept, it'd be extremely uh . unfortunate. luna is the demon of the moon, i feel like if she fully died (rather than just possessing a zalgoid, i mean COMPLETELY killed) the whole moon would literally go poof or something (which would be real awkward for the moon children huh)

if a zalgoid were to have a child, then a naamalgoid could potentially inhabit it, but since zalgoids are (usually) half-human, they don't get that privilege, and end up disappearing entirely
