Seeking Truth: Difference between revisions

But then her mother starts talking about a notebook; the girl's ''really'' attached to it. Zeke ignores it, waving it off as something that young artists do. Then the mother's hangover kicks in, and Zeke goes upstairs with Lizzie behind him. And the girl's been drawing on the walls. Drawing pictures of someone [[The Slender Man Mythos|very familiar...]]

 

 

{{spoiler|[http://helpingthosehelpthemselves.blogspot.com/ He's back.] }}

* [[Badass]]: Zeke Strahm, all over.

* [[Badass Normal]]: See above. The unique feature of this blog is that the protagonist takes it upon himself to try and {{spoiler|''kill'' a horrifically powerful extradimensional entity/spirit/tulpa/god, as opposed to going batshit and letting him get you.}}

* [[The Blank]]: Slender Man, of course.

* [[The Call Knows Where You Live]]: Slendy walks straight into Zeke's house, taking a shotgun pellet to the stomach.

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Albert Conaghan is a businessman who runs a small yet lucrative import/export firm, owns several warehouses, and can afford good enough lawyers to fend off various charges of rape and murder.

* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Zeke Strahm, once again. His interview with Albert Conaghan makes this obvious.

* [[Do Not Go Gentle]]: ''Evening The Score''.

* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Zeke's full name is [[As the Good Book Says|Ezekiel]] Strahm. He got bullied in school for it, despite insisting that everyone should call him Zeke.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: In-universe example; Zeke refers to the Slender Man by a lot of synonyms.

* [[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]].

** {{spoiler|And boy, the things he discovers. Not only does Zeke find hieroglyphics that may give clues to Slender Man's past, but his interactions with Kiera reveal that the entire town is full of cult members, the real Rick O'Connor disappeared a week before Damien did, someone else posted the ending to Damien's story in the comments of the last post, and, most importantly of all, seems to hint at the possibility that Damien may still be alive...}}

* [[Ironic Echo]]: {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|"Cold-hearted fucking bitch"]].}}

* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: Frustrated with the lack of progress, Zeke eventually breaks open a can of this on Conaghan during his interrogation.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Done extensively to the whole [[The Slender Man Mythos|mythos]]; one of the reasons it's liked so much in the fandom.

* [[Old Friend]]: Recently, Zeke has encountered a character named Wren, a character with whom he seems to share some history with. Wren treats him as though they were old friends.

** Zeke's responses to audience questions seem to imply there is bitter history, however...

* [[Rabid Cop]]: Zeke borders on this during his interrogation of Conaghan.

* [[Real After All]]: As mentioned under [[Genre Savvy]], Zeke thinks Slendy is an urban myth. He's wrong.
