i wasn't planning to, but i came out to my nonni today
not in any specific vocabulary, but i told them that me and Nadia are together
they've seen Nadia a bunch over the last 8 years, they know she's my friend, and they know we're living together, but i was upset about something unrelated and so i told them "we're together, and we have been for 8 years and im sorry i haven't told"
and my 102-year-old nonna and 99-year-old simply said "okay", my nonna specifically saying "i accept you" to me and Nadia
my grandparents are a hundred year old catholic italian immigrants that barely speak french, my grandmother doesn't speak english at all, and they simply just said okay, we accept you, Nadia's like a granddaughter to us
im just. really glad i finally told them.

I honestly love your depiction of Slenderman and the mansion. As much as I love the whole Slenderman treating everyone with love and being a found family with the residents of the mansion, it feels so refreshing seeing Slenderman act similar to how you portray him! Also, I’m very curious hearing more about slender and Sally’s relationship in the future (or now lol)!!
i'm glad to hear that!! i feel like i've never really given slender much thought or attention before so i feel like my depiction of it is rusty compared to a lot of the other creepypastas so i'm glad to hear that you enjoy it <3
as for slender's relationship with sally:
we all know that slender does Not like children. it goes out of its way to harm them, and actively avoids them in the case that it can't. that's what it did with sally for a really long time.
it avoided her, and treated her mostly like a pest it couldn't get rid of. seeing as she was a permanent resident of the mansion, it can't exactly get rid of her. and the mansion enjoys her company too, so alas. it was stuck dealing with her.
like i said, it took a lot of time and patience for slender to even view sally as something worth its time and attention. it took even longer for it to grow to care about her.
but sally is stubborn when she wants to be, and when she decided she wanted to befriend the strange, faceless, tall man well buddy pal there was nothing that could stop her. she had a goal in mind, and she was determined to achieve it.
and the mansion helped out, of course. because the mansion was, at this point, the only real 'companion' that slender had. she wanted it to make bonds with people it could actually communicate with.
and in the beginning, slender hated that everywhere it went when visiting the mansion, sally would be there with a bright smile on her face, eagerly asking questions about its existence and asking whether or not it wanted to join her for tea and even going as far as to introduce it to her toys one by one.
it was annoyed, at first. it would brush her off, maybe even vanish the moment it saw sally approaching.
honestly, slender wouldn't be able to tell you when it started to care for her. maybe it was the first time it saw her crying, or maybe she had worn it down so much that it just didn't have the energy to ignore and avoid her anymore. but at some point, it did grow to care for her.
it stopped vanishing whenever it saw her. it answered her questions when she asked it. it started to remember all the names and titles of her plushies. and one day, it had even hesitantly agreed to accompany her for tea. she was ecstatic at this, and thus the tea parties became a frequent whenever it was around.
sally is the only child that slender cares about. it tolerates ben and lazari, but every other child? no. it will more than likely never grow to care for one the way it cares for sally.
sally is basically slender's daughter now.

five and luther moments where they are twins? it's canon that they're twins, do u have any concept of them?
Five and Luther being twins is actually a corner of comic canon I ignore! My opinion on that bit of canon is that it is only there to give Allison a reason to help Five because he's such a little bastard in the comics. She doesn't give a fuck if Five were to stop existing, but she does have a *vested* interest in keeping Luther around. How do we solve that? They're twins! If Five's mom is killed and he's wiped from existence, so is Luther! Better help him, then!
I also think the Hargreeves are more compelling as a completely forced family. That no one is actually related to any of the others but they're aggressively being siblings, despite how terrible their childhoods were and they've estranged themselves from one another. They could have treated it like a school situation, even around Reggie being "Dad", but no! They're a family! Plus, that Five, pragmatic and (surface level) self-centered, dedicated his entire life and survived horrors to get back and save these six people he's not technically related to. They're his family - not by blood, but through growing up together, being in the Umbrella Academy together, and because he says so.
