Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Thanks for the answers!
Hello there! I’m yet another person who found out about your series through Night Mind, and I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed all of what I’ve seen. You picked a great concept, and you’ve organized things such that you can keep the narrative going with little risk of it ballooning beyond your ability to handle, something that tends to happen a lot in Slenderman-based series. I also think you’ve done a great job with all your monsters; all of them are threatening and off-putting in some unique way, and they all seem to be thematically for your story.
All that said, I do have a few silly questions for you:
1. Are the same forces keeping the house filled with food and water also taking away Mary’s garbage, or will an upcoming episode reveal that the dining room is packed to the roof with trash bags? ;)
2. Are all of the humanoid monsters female? For that matter, is the amorphous shadow female?
3. In “goodnight?” there were a couple instances of the shadow’s left hand disappearing and reappearing in other parts of the frame. Was that intentional?
4. This is more of a comment, but I found it interesting that “DO NOT TOUCH” seems to be the first time Mary tries to confront the monsters. From what I’ve seen of the series, it appears to me that Mary has been placed into a situation where she is made miserable, but both the house and the monsters are making an effort to avoid killing or physically incapacitating her. However, rather than trying to put her captors and tormentors on the defensive by putting her own life in danger or making a concerted effort to escape the house, Mary has instead curled back into herself and “chosen” to endure their tortures. I know part of the reason for this is that your parents aren’t terribly keen on you starting fires or digging a hole through their basement wall, but would I also be right in assuming there are thematic reasons Mary has taken her particular course of action?
( First off, thank you! I’m glad you’re appreciating the story!
1. So far, trash is treated the same way that food and water is. Everything just clears, restocks, and resets
2. The veiled monster yes, mirror monster yes, and the other two are up to interpretation!
3. The left hand disappearing was a real rookie editing mistake that I didn’t notice until I uploaded… and proceeded to feel bad about for a week lol. The other hands appearing places were intentional.
4. Big thematic reasons. Very big, thematic reasons. And yeah also I can’t blow up my house hahaha. )
