So- Here's an introduction to Slatebur before I get into these headcanons. Slatebur is a Wilbur Soot ego (Sootsona? Bursona?) I made based off of the music video for Portrait of a Blank Slate (x). I thought that Wilbur in the video had the vibes of an ego, and so I created Slatebur!

Slate is a siren, so he can control/influence people when he sings

Slate can be really energetic, but mostly isn’t

Like Wilbur’s other egos, he can be a bit… Angsty a lot of the time

Probably why he gets along so well with Argbur

Absurdly good at performing

I also headcanon that his siren songs/when he sings, Slate can induce physical reactions in people too

Since siren songs effects usually are just emotional and psychological, nothing actually physical

Because the test subject in the music video for Portrait of a Blank Slate caught fire for seemingly no reason, I believe that Slate’s song did that

How did it do that? Uh.. it just did

I have no explanation for why it does, but it does now

Slate can control what physical reaction his songs induce, if any

For example, the video

He wanted that guy to catch fire/combust, so he did

I also have a headcanon for why that whole… test thing was happening in the first place

The start of the video introduces who I assume is the lead scientist, being Professor Andrew Watts

It says that they’re “Presenting their findings of the effect of mathematically arranged sonic frequency on the cerebral cortex”

Also the fact that the video starts with it being presented by WU&IO Advanced Research Division

I think that that test was to test the effects of a siren’s song on a human, for scientific research, hence the WU&IO Advanced Research Division conducting it

Maybe they knew about Slate being able to cause physical reactions with his song, maybe they didn’t
