Marble Hornets is a fictional web-series which helped pioneer the early stages of the Slender Man mythos, and is a series I still hold a great sentiment towards.
Aside from Marble Hornets, the creators of the series—in collaboration with Noah Scammon—had an additional YouTube channel as a comedic side project called THAC TV, which I also hold in my heart with significance despite the channel's discontinuation in 2016.
Here's my recollection of the time Troy and Noah acknowledged me on Twitter.

On February 27, 2018, I edited a satirical promotional poster inspired by a typo I made in a text message the week before.

I later in the day tweeted out the poster to the THAC boys with the encouragement of my (now) significant other.

Both Troy and Noah liked my tweet.
Noah even replied to it.

I know the THAC members are all normal human beings like any other person—and shouldn't have to be looked up to as otherworldly heroes—but something in me made me hug my pillow to my face and scream into it.
I'd spent years watching the THAC and Marble Hornets channels and loving everything about them, from the people who ran the channels to the content they produced. To even think I'd tweet something to a group of my childhood icons and be noticed because of it was a dismissive idea to me. It'd never happen. But it did.
Two of my heroes acknowledged me, but a daunting thought quickly waved over me.
They know me as the person who made the Legend of Booty: Ocarina of Tim edit...
