History YMMV / SeekingTruth

* CompleteMonster: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Albert Conaghan]], the ArchEnemy of [[CowboyCop Detective Zeke Strahm]], is a corrupt businessman who uses his wealth to fund his crimes. Already a prolific SerialRapist before his first encounter with the Slender Man, Conaghan raped several teenagers and even kept some as his [[SexSlave sex slaves]], earning Zeke's hatred by raping and murdering his high-school crush. Rather than being forced into servitude, Conaghan willingly became a devotee of the Slender Man and butchered people in his name, including four children and Zeke's partner.

* BeamMeUpScotty: It's "home ''blend''," not "home ''brew''."

* FanPreferredCouple: 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 [[ShrugOfGod open to interpretation]].
** On the other hand, the authors ARE seeing each other in RealLife. Make of that as you will.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: As mentioned above, Zeke beating up Lizzie's abusive father counts.
** [[spoiler: ''Evening The Score'' definitely qualifies.]]
*** But even before that, [[spoiler: his response to Slendy looking at him through his window definately qualifies, especially when you think about how other people have reacted to the same situation.]]
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: [[spoiler: Zeke attacking M, author of ''The Tutorial'', in retaliation for him [[PretenderDiss implying]] that ''Seeking Truth'' [[LampshadeHanging was just a story,]] was utterly hilarious. Considering that M, a homeless drifter, had just made a post making the point that he was drinking coffee in a cafe, Zeke says: "Enjoy that fucking coffee. I prefer ''home blend'' myself."]]
** [[spoiler: M responds in the comments with this: "That was ''good fucking coffee''."]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Lampshaded. [[TheDragon Conaghan]] keeps calling Slendy "[[Literature/TheBible The Angel of Death]]"; Zeke points out that people will attach symbolism to ''anything''.

* ShoutOut: Possible one to TV Tropes in the second blog post. He refers to some of the more spider-like Slendy drawings as DemonicSpiders, with both words capitalized just like that.

* TearJerker: The final lines of Zeke's [[spoiler: last blog entry (not counting the one made by the police)]].

* CompleteMonster: Albert Conaghan, a guy who was already a kidnapper, serial rapist, and possible murderer before becoming Slendy's [[TheDragon Dragon]].

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: As mentioned above, Zeke beating up Lizzie's abusive father pretty much counts.

* HilariousInHindsight: Maybe not intentional, but still - Zeke's [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique interrogation]] of Conaghan seems a little too much like the infamous [[TheDarkKnight Joker interrogation]], right down to shouting "[[LargeHam WHERE ARE]] [[NoIndoorVoice THEY?]]" while knocking him around.
* TearJerker: The final lines of Zeke's [[spoiler: last blog entry (not counting the one made by the police)]].

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: YourMileageMayVary as always, but more than a few tropers found that [[spoiler: Zeke attacking M, author of ''The Tutorial'', in retaliation for him [[PretenderDiss implying]] that ''Seeking Truth'' [[LampshadeHanging was just a story,]] was utterly hilarious. Considering that M, a homeless drifter, had just made a post making the point that he was drinking coffee in a cafe, Zeke says: "Enjoy that fucking coffee. I prefer ''home blend'' myself."]]

* CompleteMonster: SlenderMan is pretty much confirmed to be this throughout the blog.
** The blog also introduces two original ones: Albert Conaghan, a guy who was already a kidnapper, serial rapist, and possible murderer before becoming Slendy's [[TheDragon Dragon]], and Lizzie's dad, who constantly abused her physically, mentally, and emotionally before Strahm [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome pounded him to a pulp]].
** As of ''Status Report'', quite possibly [[spoiler: Zeke Strahm himself. Using Slender Man as an excuse, he apparently hid the body of a man he killed in his garage for over a month.]]
