Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''I'm not one for making blogs. If the guys in my department found out that ole' Zeke Strahm was pouring his heart out on a freaking online journal, then any credibility I've ever had to being a male goes right out the window. Ironically, it was my partner- who happens to be female- that suggest I keep this up. You see some cruel things being a detective; keeping a journal of any kind was cheaper than seeing a shrink for your feelings. I'll do it, but I don't expect to be all emo or whiny on here.''}} So, [[Cowboy Cop\|Zeke Strahm.]] As the [[Pothole]] indicates, this guy's a police officer; he isn't the kind of guy to keep his blog. But his partner, Lizzie, is encouraging him to do it, so he does; he's recently been assigned to a case involving a young girl going missing, with his partner accompanying him. It's possibly a kidnapping, but there's nothing big about it--her mother's an alcoholic, the girl's probably run away from him for a bit, she'll come back. Line 8: A side-story from [[The Slender Man Mythos]], detailing the story of Zeke Strahm, a detective in New England and his grapples with the [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous\|many-armed]] man of terror. Something of a fan favorite, despite its short{{spoiler\|?}} lifespan. It all starts [http://openthedoorandyouwillfindme.blogspot.com/2010/03/assignment.html here]. {{spoiler\|[http://helpingthosehelpthemselves.blogspot.com/ He's back.] }} {{spoiler\|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwOI0oKCR-w&feature=player_embedded He's dead.]}} ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This series contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Abusive Parents]]: Lizzie had at least one. * [[All Myths Are True]]: Nigh-on all of the Slender-blogs are said to be real. Line 39: * [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: Since {{spoiler\|Zeke's return in The Mystic}}, he's shown a particular correspondence with Celeste McLachlan of Make It Count. Zeke/Celeste has become something between a real ship and a running joke since she [http://countingitup.blogspot.com/2011/02/trouble-on-home-front.html put a lampshade on it] in her blog. The authors have claimed it to be [[Shrug of God\|open to interpretation]]. ** On the other hand, the authors ARE seeing each other in [[Real Life]]. Make of that as you will. * [[Friends ~~With~~with Benefits]]: Zeke and Lizzie, natch. * [[Genre Savvy]]: Zeke's seen [[Marble Hornets]], he's read [[Just Another Fool]]. He's sure that Slender Man's just a story. [[It Got Worse\|And how wrong he is.]] ** Fortunately, when he realizes the error of his ways, he has his readers provide links to ''every single Slender Man-related blog they can find'' just to invoke this trope to the greatest possible extent. * [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]]: Lizzie, a friendly, intelligent, level-headed woman in her early thirties, is partnered with the antisocial, temperamental and violent Zeke. * [[Hero ~~With~~with Bad Publicity]]: [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] from ''Status Report'' (definitely the one favoured by the blog-commenting fandom) {{spoiler\|pushes Zeke into this territory.}} See also [[Villain ~~With~~with Good Publicity]], below - it's [[Mind Screw\|really vague.]] * [[Implacable Man]]: Slender Man. He's implied to take a shotgun shot to the chest and it doesn't even slow him down. Earlier, Zeke shoots at him with a handgun; this also does nothing. Then again, {{spoiler\|the shotgun apparently killed some other random person}}. Not that Slendy is any less implacable. Line 78: It's revealed in the Mary interviews that {{spoiler\|the shotgun trap he rigged up was set off by his neighbor, not Slender Man.}} * [[Villain Protagonist]]: [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] from ''Status Report'' causes {{spoiler\|Zeke to step into this territory.}} * [[Villain ~~With~~with Good Publicity]]: Via [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] created by ''Status Report'', {{spoiler\|Zeke, even out-of-universe. Look at all the viewers who are on his side, when he may have killed ''at least one'' innocent man, using the Slender Man as an excuse to do so.}} * [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Lampshaded. [[The Dragon\|Conaghan]] keeps calling Slendy "[[The Bible\|The Angel of Death]]"; Zeke points out that people will attach symbolism to ''anything''. * [[Wham! Episode]]: ''[http://openthedoorandyouwillfindme.blogspot.com/2010/06/inside-labryinth.html Inside the Labyrinth]''.
