5zer02
Xakk, Tyler, and Gavin are 3 guys that decide to make a YouTube series where they go around their city of Louisville, Kentucky and show the fun parts of it. During it things happen, unexplainable things. Stuff like weird distortion in their videos and videos they don't remember uploading...
5zer02 is another great series in The Slender Man Mythos.
Their series can be found here. A helpful Unfiction thread can be found here.
Tropes used in 5zer02 include:
- Ax Crazy: Xakk
- Crossover: With another Slender Man series called TJA Projects.
- Foreshadowing: As with Apple of Our Eye, it takes a few episodes for the whole Slender Man aspect of the story to get rolling (aside from some distortion in a couple of episodes along with comments about technical difficulties in editing videos together), but in the first episode, before anything starts, you can see the Operator Symbol etched into the window of a vacant storefront.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Hey, its a Slender Man series. What do you think its going to be?
- Noodle Incident: "And here you'll see the deer sculptures, which we can never look at the same way again. No, we're not going to tell you why."
- Paranoia Fuel: This video will do it.
- In fact pretty all the videos they say they didn't upload are pretty much this.
- Sanity Slippage: Happens to Xakk early in the series and leads to Ax Crazy for him.
- Also seems to be happening to Tyler.
- Shout-Out
- In The TJA Projects video More Questions, No Answers Xakk says the names of characters from the very famous Slender-series Everyman HYBRID and Tribe Twelve.
