History YMMV / TribeTwelve

* CompleteMonster: [[AbusiveParents Mary Asher]] is Milo's [[EvilMatriarch mother]] who was haunted by Slenderman as a child and lived in fear of her future death. Once a member of the Slenderman-worshipping cult called the [[ReligionOfEvil Order]], she killed her two ex-husbands. The whole reason she had Milo in the first place was to [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] him to Slenderman in her place; she also tried to conceive more children as [[OffingTheOffspring extra sacrifices]]. Milo's journal elaborates more on this; she groomed and indoctrinated Milo into the Order, having them drink his blood; would use drugs and {{gaslighting}} to try to keep him in line, using physically aggressive methods at the slightest resistance; she also self-harms to get Milo institutionalized and implies she will have his beloved cat put down to punish him for standing up to her. Her methods to kill her family include setting her sister's house on fire while her young nephew Noah was asleep, burning his babysitter alive; helped bomb and capsize a boat dozens of people were on, killing her mother and another young nephew of hers in the process. Mary [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist claims]] to be a victim trying to protect her family, but both Noah and Milo see right through her as a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] coward willing to sacrifice her family to ensure her own survival.

** After fleeing from his future self at the end of "Sisyphus", Noah goes from tearfully and hysterically denying what he saw...to letting out a confused "Huh?" in the span of a few seconds that you can tell was badly dubbed in.

** In Rendezvous, the Observer announces his presence at the end of the Boardwalk by whistling Yondu Udonta style. It's utterly ridiculous, but considering the fact that it's so unexpected (plus the fact that it's the freakin' '''''Observer''''' who does it), it works.

* CreepyAwesome: It varies from member to member, but some of the Collective look really kickass, especially [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120215062625/tribetwelve/images/0/0a/517509499.jpg Deadhead]] and the Observer, [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110902224842/tribetwelve/images/thumb/5/59/INTERRUPTION_Observer1.png/640px-INTERRUPTION_Observer1.png especially in INTERUPPTION when the latter looks up to grin at the camera.]] [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111113224629/tribetwelve/images/thumb/4/4b/446739849.png/640px-446739849.png This]] group shot of the Collective looks pretty awesome, too, as is [[http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111116200713/tribetwelve/images/f/fc/HAPPYBIRTHDAY_Lineup.png this]] one. Oh and Firebrand too[[spoiler:when he called himself "A rogue god".]]

* InMemoriam: It started off as this for Noah's cousin, Milo. Until he began to notice something in the tapes...

** From [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iP99YJ5XANc November 11th]], Noah's reaction to falling off his bed is a little too close to Luke Skywalker's reaction to being told who his father is.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: While they're usually played in reverse, many of the song choices in the Observer's videos qualify as this.
** "Interception" uses a reversed version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlb_ZZbKHGY&feature=share&list=ULvlb_ZZbKHGY Pendulum's "The Other Side"]]. WordOfGod states that it was chosen not only because it fit the subject matter of the video ''perfectly'', but because it's one of the creator's personal favorite songs.
*** The video also utilizes Gotye's "State of the Art" and Boards of Canada's "The Devil Is In the Details".
** The music in Pitfall and Sisyphus counts too, which includes highlights such as more Pendulum, Gnarls Barkley, GunsNRoses, AC/DC, the neverending stairs music from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', the drums from [[Film/{{Jumanji}}]], and PinkFloyd.

* UncannyValley: Firebrand has this going on in DEUS EX MACHINA.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The main strength of WebVideo/TribeTwelve is the excellent Slenderman effects. In darkness, in motion, with tentacles waving around, it always looks good.

* HarsherInHindsight: In DEATHTRAPEXODUS, Firebrand shows us a visual of Noah's (and to an extension, the creator's) house being submersed in a dark, black liquid, while telling Noah to "prepare for the flood." In 2017, that visual very nearly came true with Hurricane Irma hitting the area where Noah/Adam's house was located. Thankfully, it shifted from a Category 4 to a Category 2 very suddenly, but at the time, it made Firebrand's words seem ''very'' ironic.

* MesACrowd: As of Rendezvous, there are now ''three'' ([[FutureMeScaresMe non-Collective]]) Noahs: Current Noah, the Sisyphus Noah ([[FanNickname known as Prebrand]]), and the Rendezvous Noah.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Nobody was expecting Jeff from WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID to show up in Bridge to Nowhere, having been dead for over a year at that point.

** One could say that the Observer goes through this as well. In season 1, the Observer's erratic anger and insanity only showed whenever Firebrand disrupted his private broadcast during INTERCEPTION, and occasionally appeared while he's mocking Noah in his videos. Besides that, the Observer has a very [[TheStoic stoic]] personality as he terrorizes Noah. In season 2 though, the Observer drops any stoicism he previously had, in favor of a more [[TheHeyena hyena-like]] personality. [[TropesAreNotBad Not that it's any less scary]].

** But most of all, [[spoiler:Milo.]] He attempts to keep Noah and his family safe by killing himself, only to [[spoiler:end up coming back to life horribly as Mr. Scars]] and [[spoiler:is forced to kill his own mother while under Slender Man's control.]] It makes it even more heartwarming that after all the shit he's been through, he's willing to help Noah stop Slender Man.

*** Adding onto the question of his sanity above: During the Boat Incident, did Karl intentionally kill his own wife by unfastening her life vest just to ensure the safety of his book as Mary Asher puts it? Or did he do so unintentionally and lives with that guilt every day?

* The second blogspot post Noah makes has him treating the viewers as though they are attending a "virtual funeral". It really doesn't work.
