Okay, no, I think I mentioned this before, but it’s really killing me inside. I have this Creepypasta/Marble Hornets AU that’s been eating at me for the longest time, and oms I swear to god. Ramblings are going to be under the cut.

PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME VALIDATION OR SOMETHING IDEK AT THIS POINT.

It’s an AU in which all the major Creepypasta (+ Marble Hornets!) characters are either angels,  demons, dead, demon hunters, or normal humans. I’m calling it the Demon Hunter AU. The main plot focuses on the proxy trio (Masky/Tim, Hoodie/Brian, and Ticci Toby), who are demon hunters. They do not work for the Slenderman in this AU. Tim and Toby are brothers, Tim being older by a year.

Tim’s a senior in high school while Toby’s a junior. Their dad’s the Stern Dad™ principal of their school. Brian’s an 18 year old demon hunter who comes to their town, obviously to hunt demons. Tim and Toby get detention one day, and therefore get out late. While they’re walking home, they come across Brian fighting a demon. Toby tries to nope out of there, but Tim’s stupid and thinks they should help him. They help Brian kill the demon, only for Brian to start angrily signing at them afterwards about how they could have gotten killed, and while Brian’s a trained professional and can take care of himself, they’re not and they can’t. Toby’s confused for a moment, but Tim still remembers some sign language from when their dad made them take classes as kids. In this AU, Brian’s mute and has a big, ugly gash across his neck. It’s great.

After they first meet Brian, Toby tries to go back to being normal and pretending he doesn’t know about the existence of demons. Tim, however, spends his nights and weekends trying to track down Brian so he can teach him how to be a demon hunter, because, again, he’s stupid. He eventually finds Brian again, only to be met with even more angry signing. Tim explains that he wants Brian to show him how to hunt demons, then Toby exclaims from the bushes, “Tim, what the fuck??” Toby had grown suspicious of Tim’s behavior and decided to shadow him that night. Tim’s genuinely surprised and very peeved by this development.

After some more angry signing and Toby freaking out, Tim comes up with a compromise. Brian will take him and Toby with him next time he goes to kill a demon. If Toby and Tim are scarred for life by it, they’ll leave Brian alone and go back to being normal people. But, if Toby and Tim either enjoy themselves or show enough potential, Brian will take them under his wing.

Tl;dr: Brian is forced to make an angsty kid who turns to demon hunting as an extreme form of thrill-seeking and teenaged rebellion, and his super annoying little brother, into proper demon hunters because of a bet he didn’t think they’d actually win.

Some other characters include Principal Sebastian Mann, Tim and Toby’s dad; Jeff Woods, the creepy senior class president; Jane Arkensaw, a demon hunter with magical powers and a score to settle; Jack, a demonic entity who considers himself a “neutral third party” and actively gives the demon hunting trio information about local demons; and Ben Douglas, Toby’s super smart hacker best friend and my favorite of the cast so far. Here are my notes on Ben’s introduction scene:

“The bell rings, then the scene changes to Toby’s first period, Algebra II. Toby’s sitting at his desk, which is near the back of the room, attempting to balance his pencil by its eraser. The teacher, a female who looks very high-strung, is writing equations on the whiteboard at the front and talking about them. Suddenly, the door slams open to reveal Ben. Ben is 15, but skipped a full year because he’s smart. He’s currently in his pajamas, and has a very bad case of bed head. In one hand is his backpack, in the other his pillow. He’s not even wearing proper shoes. He’s wearing his slippers. There’s a little bit of drool at the corner of his mouth.

The teacher looks tired, angry, and exasperated. She has had to deal with Ben for a couple months now, and never before has she hated a student so much. She opens her mouth to scold him for being late to class yet again, only to stop as Ben plops his backpack on the ground and holds a hand up.

When he speaks, his words are slurred with tiredness. “ShushushushushushiiiiI know I’m late. I’ve got a sign in thing from the office… Jus… t hold on.” He opens his backpack and pulls out a small slip of paper. He slaps it on the teacher’s desk. “There ya go.”

The teacher crosses her arms, glaring. Ben doesn’t see her expression, but he can feel her trying to burn holes into his skull with her eyes. He reaches into his backpack and lugs out a giant stack of papers. He puts the stack on her desk as well. She looks at the stack in annoyance.

He grins sleepily. “All of this week’s homework and classwork. Did it over tha weekend. Can I sleep now?”

She sighs. “It’s not like I can stop you.”

Ben gives a thumbs up, grabs his still open and still stuffed backpack by the strap, and lumbers back to the empty seat next to Toby. He practically falls into the seat. He puts his pillow on the desk and his head on the pillow. Toby picks up his pencil and pokes the top of Ben’s head.

“Dude, you know they have a picture of you taped to a dart board in the teacher’s lounge, right?” Toby asks, concerned, but quiet, not wanting the teacher to get mad at him or something.

Ben lifts his head just enough to slur out the following: “3.8 GPA… ain’t got shiiiiiit on mescccchhool can suck my dick-” He firmly plants his face in his pillow. He starts faintly snoring shortly after.

Toby’s still concerned. “Your life, not mine.””

He’s just. He’s so gr8.

I have most of the main plot figured out. I just need to write it down. However, I have an issue. I feel like this idea would be best as a comic, but I really, really don’t think my art style would do it justice. It’s too cartoony and too inconsistent for a more serious webcomic. This makes me feel like I’m dying inside at a faster rate than normal, and oms I don’t like it.
