    Tulpa Effect has to be one of the most underrated Slenderman projects of the first wave of the Slenderverse. It was fantastic to sit down with this in its entirety live!

      I was able to find a website and she lists her email, which is probably how Alex Hera was able to contact her for the documentary. But yeah other than that she's like nowhere to be found, her IMDb only has her appearance on the documentary as a credit, which is a shame cause she acted her ass off on that series.

    3:39:20 this is such a sad series, but that idea is so hilarious to me, like “Yeah, doesn’t matter where I go, my ex just keeps turning up.”
    “Oh no, he’s some kind of stalker?!”
    “Nah, ‘s fuckin Slenderman.”

    i watched this about two weeks ago after i was watching one of your videos and you briefly mentioned it, and realized that this whole fuckin thing was shot down the street from my house in oakland, by people i had run into at shows, bars, and partys. it was SOOOO WEIRD to watch an awesome unfiction project staring passing acquaintances that were in the same "scene" as me, and EVERY location is one of my fave spots to hang in oakland, whether its the tubes, the port, the bottoms, the venue Trees, 8th street, center street, the gazebo watchtower by the pier, they mention Oakland Grill for a birthday brunch and "the witchy place on telegraph" which is a wonderful shop called Ancient Ways i used to go to and even the terrifying climax at the beautiful yet disgusting Lake Merrit, god i just cant get over how freakin surreal it was to see all this, i was hoping youd cover it soon so that i could cheese about it in the comment section lol

    In marble hornets Slim acted like a DND warlock patron for Alex. EMH, that was more Habit's racket and Slim was just kind of there doing his own thing. Tribe Twelve he had a goal but it seemed low priority to him.
    And here... He's a relationship guru for a somewhat toxic couple? Honestly I'm pretty sure this was an opportunity thing for Slim that turned into a hobby between other gigs.
    4:28:43 did... Did Slim actually let her go? That's rare.

    As an artist I find Tulpa Effect's ending so existentially terrifying. The series is so good that almost the majority of it feels like a mainstream found footage film more than a web series. For it to end with the main character in the same lowest point we've seen her, but more drunk, alone, bitter and broken. Without Slender even present. It all feels to me like such a harrowing metaphor for creation. I Didn't expect this to keep me up all night, and it isn't Slender keeping me up. Slender in this series is a strange toxic comfort, gave meaning to the character's life, and is so linked one to one to a relationship with so many problems... losing slender, losing that relationship feels like a muse dying.

      Yeah, that's an immensely good way of putting it into words... I wasn't expecting it to go this way like most of the series tbh. It is genuinely unique and unfathomably unpredictable but mundane and with a normality that it uses to bend your head. It's so sad at the end and most way through. Such an achievement x

    • @Apollo9898LP
      @Apollo9898LP 8 днів тому +1

      Honestly given what we know that the Tulpa Effect's ending was changed because of real life troubles stymied their original plans, i kind of find it inspiring. Because it definitely feels like on some level the ending is tackling the idea that the series "failed" its original ending. The unsatisfying conclusion where Marissa is stuck right where she started feels like the creator working out their own feelings of being stuck with the project. But imo it's very effective in its dissatisfaction. The choice to go in that different direction with the ending was a risky one but I think it comes together really strongly

    I haven’t even finished it yet, but the themes they explore are so legitimate and mature (for a Slenderman/old web series), it genuinely sets it above the rest. And that’s before you factor in the filmmaking. Damn, I love this.

    this entire series feels like its using Slenderman as an analogy for their bad habits? whenever they talk about or are affected by "him" they're at low points, whether they just got in a fight, or are drinking, or are hiding things from eachother, that's when things happen, its either Slenderman being a manifestation OF their issues, or Slenderman taking advantage of their issues, but they're definitely connected in some way...and honestly the idea of him representing their issues is a lot more interesting to me, the idea that he fully isnt real, but instead is some form of embodiment of them not being well, which could play in with them not being meant to see him, because humans tend to not be able to see their issues or look at them? idk, weird theorizing on my part probably 😅 perhaps hopeful theorizing because i personally like this kind of concept, the more psychological type of horror hidden behind the "monster"?

    I'm loving the Marble Hornets get-up. It makes you look bad-to-the-bone, like you're about to set off on a motorbike with Graphi's arms wrapped around your waist. And starting the first video, the opening ambiance makes the proceedings feel like we walked into a dingy roadside bar.
    Also, Roger kinda looks like he stepped out of the 1970s. Partly the hair, partly the outfit, but together they make him look like an alternate member of ABBA.
    ...I was gonna say that that one moment hit like a cricket bat. But this series, when it's not indulging in a character-driven slow-burn, is willing to treat us like the printer from Office Space.

  • @groceryfiend
    @groceryfiend 9 днів тому +27

    honestly im surprised you hadn't covered/seen this before. glad you're getting to it now.
    tulpa effect really was underrated. it had such a different approach and i have never really been able to let it go. and it was so much more interesting as a series since it wasn't "a slenderman" but a TULPA of a slenderman. so of course it is focused on them and consistently stalking them and wiping their memories to keep them from trying to defeat/get rid of it. they have a perfect ouroboros of terror.
    not to mention the acting. roger is good, but marissa sells her actions and monologues and reactions so SO well. you really truly get the human aspect to this nightmare they're trapped in. especially in the moments where she's breaking down. but its really sold in the mundanity of the filming, it's such a wild topic but handled and vlogged just so exactly as other youtubers were doing their normal vlogs at the time.
    this series has such a slow build and really holds back so well to build all the tension before the couple really has even barely a grasp of what's happening and as a viewer it's so good for sucking you in.
    i just dont know. the way it peters out, but also how it makes perfect sense to end like that. i just don't think this story will ever really leave me. i don't really know if it was supposed to end that way or in all the years it took the actors gave up/grew apart. it will always be part fiction part nonfiction in that way

    I loved this series back when it was ongoing! I still do and I teared up seeing it finally get done love! I originally discovered TulpaEffect and other lesser knowns through art by deviantart user Expressions who actually did fanart for a few series.
    I initially thought it ended after she announced the breakup in character so seeing that video of them by the lake made me fall in love all over again - it grabbed ME by the thrust that was so awesome! It all makes me yearn for when series felt like just hopping along a journey with friends.
    I haven’t watched the documentary yet but even though I had always suspected it I was still sad to hear they did split. I was sadder that it ultimately ended so unceremoniously with so many unanswered questions. But I do like “what if we echoes forever”, haunting as it is. In some way it makes it feel like she’s still out there, not updating but deciding she found the end for herself and found the key to living again.
    I wish there was closure about Roger, the drinking, the noise, and the doll in the garden. There’s so much more that could’ve been but I can’t imagine how exhausting it was towards the end.
    Thank you for sheddjng light on this whole third act that I missed. 💜🐈‍⬛.

    2:14:02 at this point, ol Slim doesn't seem actively malicious or malevolent. Like, you could tell me these two kept getting evience of him when he was on a separate thing entirely and he only took notice on a fluke or they were giving off the right wavelengths. Or maybe Slim just felt like watching a romcom that strand of the timeline.
    2:14:31 "hey, are you guys okay? Got enough sunscreen? Your eye has enough battery? Cool cool. So, I got a thing so I'll catch you later."
    2:14:31 this is honestly the most emotion I've ever seen of Slim. And it's more befuddlement than malice.

    Learning about Tulpas had a major affect on how I internalized spirituality as a teen. It makes the idea of an Animus spirit make more sense when you think about how many people already anthropomorphize inanimate objects when they bump them. We've all pointed at something and told it to stay. What if all of us doing that made tiny spirits in things?

    i believe the reason there's so little show of real human connection or empathy in recent indie horror is simply this; it's difficult to do, but moreover it's difficult to do *right*. believable character interaction and relationships can be very demanding of one's skills as a writer, and as people's skills as actors, so many creators are probably too intimidated to try.

  • @opalpersonal
    @opalpersonal 8 днів тому +8

    i think the final video was probably the creator's way of saying, in-character but out-of-universe, "i'm done with this project and i'm tapping out here." we get to wonder how she as the character is going through life now- is she on a slow downward spiral until eventually it's all over? will she settle into a new "normal" of constantly being on edge and trying to numb the pain with alcohol, where the only bright side is that she's alive? or is there a possibility, that a decade plus after the first encounters, she can finally get ahead of _Him_?
    i can't say i'm fully satisfied, i would have liked to see some sort of resolution, whether it be good or bad- either roger and she dying or being forever trapped in slenderman's torment, or beating him- maybe at least finding out what happened to roger and having a period of potential "mourning" for him before moving on. that being said, i think it was a good end, dripping with a lot of palpable emotion- it wasn't fully satisfying, but it certainly wasn't dissatisfying. furthermore, it was a placid acknowledgment of how wildly the world, especially on the internet, has changed since the start of the series, and that a series like it probably couldn't exist anymore in the current state of things- at least, not exist in any way similar to how it started.

    2:22:52 I was kind of expecting the second hit and I'm glad I was right because it's actually way scarier that the thing is very present and very real and NOT going away. Trying to convince yourself you're just seeing things and then you very, very much aren't. That's also what makes the "this time he's just all the way out there in broad daylight" element work here. There's obviously a limit to how much of that you can get away with, but at least for this sequence, taking the spooky specter that's always lurking just out of sight, hiding in the background, scaring you and then disappearing as soon as you take a second look, and going "nah. not this time." is an effective trick.

    Hey Nick, have you seen “the last beta player: a minecraft movie” by Mongster? Despite how it’s presented on the outside, if you break through the thin shell you’ll see it’s actually unfiction (or something close) on the inside. The reason I bring it up is because I think it shares some tenets with tulpa effect: restraint, genuinity, and feeling like it’s about more than just a monster. And I feel that having a view of the player’s desk, seeing his hands on the keyboard and the ambient light in his room, and hearing IRL sounds from the room really humanizes the whole thing quite a bit.

    Honestly, I feel like this is so special because ultimately it's a series that only just *happened* to be a Slenderverse unfiction. The real story being told here I think is the relationship our main character had with the internet after all these years. The monster is the modern web, not Slendy. "What if we just echo forever" has to be one of the saddest things I've ever heard in an unfiction story, and watching someone just become more and more depressed in a way I can recognize and have, to one degree or another, experienced, this hits me harder than even those excellent scares she threw our way.

    To be fair, all these years later and I still don't know why Slim does anything. 'kindness" of his heart probably isn't it, since as toxic as the relationship seems to me, letting them break apart would have been the kind option.

    Just my two cents: I know it received small criticisms at the beginning for how the first video was kinda jokey and the second was more serious and it seemed it was moving “too quickly” but I disagree: I think that was money the most authentic moments in the story. See, we who watch and consume these products often forget, and really if we’re honest just don’t care about, is that off camera, time and life both continue. We have no idea what happened in the time space between those two videos and unless there is a major reason, then it wouldn’t make sense for someone to tell us what happened. What I mean is put yourself in the shoes of the vlogger here: you make the one video, then post it. But life continues to happen. You have no idea anything crazy is moving pieces around in the background; because you’re not watching the story, you’re in it. Now the second video is a little more subdued, but it could be for any number of reasons. I mean if she was drunk on the first video it’s going to be vastly different from everything else. Point is; she’s telling the story, presenting it, in the most authentic way possible; the way a non professional would tell a story if it were really happening. The average person vlogging isn’t going to think to share every tiny detail and try and be as clever as possible; no, their going to tell it as it becomes relevant to what their doing in the moment: making a video. I say kudos to them for, intentional or not, simply letting life happen off camera just as it does for all of us.

    ok made it to the end of the video. good series. definitely agree that it's far more mature than most slender series, and i really liked that. Hope it gets more eyes on it nowadays after so long in the dark.

    Extra long shadows... Slendercouple
    At this moment in the video it seems like they're making it seem like he's just paranoid. Like; "She's only showing you half the truth!" and then when it shows his video there's nothing there. Not even an audio anomaly.
    I always find it a little interesting they way some of the symptoms are. And I think I heard someone else bring it up years ago but like; it's all a lot like radiation poisoning. The less supernatural symptoms I mean. The buzzing too gives me a radioactive kind of vibe too. But maybe it's just supposed to be kind of like the sound fluorescent lights make.
    Oh boy xmas of evil again
    If you're suffering from slendersickness; ["Like me!" "Like me." "And me!"] you can live a normal life! Speak with your doctor and communicate with your partner. And let's walk into the future together...
    Slenderman is a fan of observation towers why
    The first appearance didn't startle me really but the second one a few minutes later did.
    Nick brought it up in the video right after I thought about it; but yeah it seemed really weird to me that slenderman would wipe them after they spotted him. Like if you don't want them to see you why are you out there in the open like that? What is the reasoning there?
    It does kind of feel close to something that I've been thinking a lot about lately; which is fae monsters.
    Do the videos get mirrored sometimes or does her lip ring keep switching sides? o__o
    I didn't hear this pointed out but there is also the fact that this is maybe one of the only female-lead slederverse series and y'know... sexism can play a huge role in weather people give a show a chance or not. The crowd that was really into all the boys club slender series might have just turned their noses up at a female lead show without even watching a single video.

We NEVER saw what the GG clone-mutant until the climax, only the cartoon of him. We had no idea what these things actually looked like. And when we finally did he was just as incomprehensible and bat-shit insane. Who else but Gilbert Fucking Garfield.

    I hadn't really heard of the tulpa effect (the concept) until this, and I've been pondering it on and off for the past day... In a universe in which it's a working phenomenon, what's to stop you from manifesting something more powerful than Slenderman, as a defense? For example, say I have a friend who's a vector, and the idea is trying to glom onto me as well, but I decide to hyperfixate elsewhere and bring an avenging angel to the table? Would that work?
    If I'm being silly and haven't realized something obvious, feel free to let me know :)
