I drew this as a tribute to the fact that the Slender Man Fandom was one of the most powerful influential things in my life. They introduced me to the English internet, taught me a ton about mental health and healthy friendships, improved my storytelling a lot, introduced me to some people who are still enriching my life with their presence...

... and without this fandom, I might not have picked up drawing again.

I'm just... incredibly thankful that I entered it.
