What’s the lore behind your operator/slenderman if you don’t mind me asking? :)
Guessing you’re basing them a bit off of Marble Hornets as well since ya mentioned it? Is any of the other slenderverse media involved? :)
[ for all things 'my slenderverse au' : @childrenofthefaceless ]
Hi!!! Thank you so so much for the ask!, Now
There isnt many other Slenderverse inspos in my slenderman lore / design! But there is a few other things!!
Marble hornets ( of course!), Cordyceps/clickers!, Puffballs/fungi in general! And Green-banded broodsacs!!!
Now for lore..

TLDR! This man is HUN-GRY!!!
[ ORIGINS ]
Origins of my slenderman have been answered already! But in his lore the reason why he exists, functions and why he collects proxies is a bit different then the one i grew up with!
Ive been in the fandom for 14 years!! When i joined it was just a 'tall man adopts mentally ill serial killer child' kind of thing that i still hold dear, but here is my take!
[ images explained ]
1. The slenderfungus origins as a mushroom that feeds on dead matter
2. The slenderfungus spreading as it grows, developing mycelium to consume bigger pray [deer ect.]
3. The bigger scale spread compared to original start area
4. The bigger need for food with growth
The reason Slenderman, or the operator, has / 'collects' proxies is for the simple use of gathering carcasses.
Originally he only needed one or two proxies for this, filling in gaps with animals he would catch. But as his territory and spread grew he needed more. And more. And more. People.
So here we are, gathering dead things and using young adults as morbid food delivery guys.
I don't really go in the lost media and lostwave communities but I'm reading about how they found today a song they've been searching for years (Everyone Knows That aka. EKT) and turns out it originated from an 80s porno. The whole deal is so funny help.
