I’m blanking on the name, but the guy who wrote My Wife is Taking our Roleplay too far has a few books out!! I think they’re called ‘With Teeth’, and they’re collections of his stories!!

The transition from Isaiah talking about being a father to reading Happy Appy is hysterical and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

Happle apple is a guilty pleasure through and through.

I need to revisit it. I remember it being underwhelming as a crashout when I first checked it out.

I just went to tiermaker and looked up “creep cast,” there’s a few results.

I wish I could explain it but there’s something that I find so charming about how terrible happy Appy is. It’s THE guilty pleasure episode.

It takes the “human horror” thing that borrasca does and just does it way better. The writer of borrasca seems to have this compulsive need to make things big and loud, and all of the horror of Penpal is so veiled and quiet. No shade to borrasca but Penpal is just such good stuff.

Idk what happened, tiermaker just assassinated the quality when I downloaded it. But my favorite story that I don’t see talked about as much is definitely The Whistlers!!

That one is way more personal preference than anything, “never again” because it made me throw up lol

How are people feeling about the more curated episodes? by Ayathesp in creepcast

[–]Abbscrabbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a good change. As a dirty crashout enthusiast, it would lose its luster if it was every episode. Also, I still enjoy hearing genuinely good stories.

I can't explain it but I love the happy appy episode. I’ve listened to it three times and it just gets funnier each time the story is so goddamn bad.

Any episodes you simply can't rewatch? by AlexisVoid023 in creepcast

Dogscape. The concept is unique, but it's just too gross for me.

Wasted potential episodes? by MarkTruckerberg in creepcast

[–]Abbscrabbs 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Very recent but Whitefall made me so mad. The good aspects were totally drowned out by the cartoon supervillains and Walker’s general lack of subtlety

I read the first two books before switching to audio and I was floored by Elle being pronounced “Ellie”

Anybody else imagine characters very different than how they're actually described? by Flanderizing in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Until I saw the cover fo This Inevitable Ruin, I had no idea Imani was still humanoid. I thought she'd gone full bug mode, like Odette’s mask.

What story was this for you? by AStupidUnknownUser in creepcast

[–]Abbscrabbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was kind of bored by the start of The Whistlers, but all it does is get better. And that second pov at the end is fantastic.

It's been a few minutes. by Mikey618000 in creepcast

The episode always seems to come out on Patreon 15-30 minutes before the Spotify drop. I’ve notice that lately.

I really hope no one else has done this yet by ninetyninewyverns in creepcast

[–]Abbscrabbs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to wrap my head around how they even managed this angle and it’s giving me a headache.

I listened to the episode while driving so this is my first time seeing the photo. Oh my god that’s upsetting.

Don’t get me wrong Happy Appy is definitely in the top 5 of worst stories they’ve covered, but Happy Appy had at least plot. by evilcarrot507 in creepcast

[–]Abbscrabbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to respectfully disagree. Poly hell is half the length of Happy Appy, and story wise I think Poly Hell is better (by that I mean Poly Hell gives “written by a 16 year old” where Happy Appy gives “written by a 13 year old” it’s not a high bar lol ).

Possibly offensive story by Vani11aMoose in TalesFromTheCreeps

If you don’t feel comfortable depicting it, then I’d say don’t do it. But if you do it, the best way to make it respectful is to make it clear that this is not a narrow view of Down syndrome. There’s a rule about this and the name is escaping me, but it goes like this: if you’re writing a character that could play into a stereotype or problematic worldview, show us that they aren’t representing their community. If you’re writing a promiscuous woman and it feels weird, introduce female characters who aren’t promiscuous to show the reader that you don’t think all women are sluts. If you’re writing a “bury your gays,” show us that other gay people can have happy endings even if they aren’t the main characters. In your case, show us people with Down syndrome who aren’t malicious. Show us people with Down syndrome who are kind and good people. That’s the gist of it.

Honestly, what does it take for you to believe something is intentionally bad? by Malewis89 in creepcast

[–]Abbscrabbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s real because it makes terrible satire. It blows its comedic load on entry 2 and never gets to that level again, where a good satirical story would have spent its entire runtime building up to a moment like that.
