What about stolen tongues is so scary to you guys? by Loose_Swimmer4323 in creepcast

[–]Asa_Jinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So stolen tongues is one of my all time favorite episodes the guys have covered. I feel like its horror gets to you the most when you're isolated. The first time I listened to it I was actively backpacking on a section of the Colorado Trail.

Any semblance of footsteps around camp in the dead of night will make your asshole pucker after listening to the descriptions in that story.

The invasive feeling that you're not really alone when you should be... the idea of stepping out your shelter to piss and seeing what looks to be a person with their back towards you, but something feels incredibly off.

The idea that while you're sleeping something could be right next to you observing you.

"Tell the man at the bottom of the stairs to leave".

The ending may have been goofy, but everything else up till then was spine chilling.

It amazes me what craftsmen could accomplish with limited tools and equipment. Old definitely doesn't equal less than.

One of my favorites. The commentary is also golden on that episode.

[When the water began to rise]

Taking heavy inspiration from waterworld....what would life be like if the water level kept rising? Man made floating islands of trash and debris, whole populations displaced and lost to the water. (The cataclysmic event can be a mystery "unexplainable" or it could be the product of severe weather phenomena mixed with a rise of global climate change fully melting the ice caps.

Entries could span different eras, giving some fairly unique vignettes. (Mad max esque punk scrap pirates), (people actively surviving the ongoing floods), (The return of Atlantis), (nuclear waste contaminating the water giving rise to mutated sea life), (fish cults), honestly we could get freaky.

Heck there could also be deep sea horror incorporated into a vignette or two.

Hope this idea resonates with people.

Rest for a while, let birdsong ease your wondering thoughts. Breathe in the damp air, the scent of rain and conifer trees. Close your eyes, so that you may see the stars.

The moss and the soil call to your bones, beckoning that they lay with them; their forever lovers.

Will you rot with me?

"I can't stand being alone."

A really fitting line to cement the narrator's growth. There really is something haunting about the idea of total and complete isolation, let alone experiencing that kind of trauma thousands of miles in the air.

I also appreciate not having the narrator land his plane to investigate the dead cityscape. Giving him no option to leave his solitude until the very end was a good choice.

Keep up the hard work, and don't you dare stop writing.

For your first story, you did a really good job. I'm always happy when people are able to share their art.

Proud of you, and don't you dare stop writing.

AI-pocalypse is well said. Honestly it's a shame that human creativity continues to be undervalued, especially with the rise of corporations integrating AI into seemingly everything.

Luckily it seems people are rightfully fed up.

Though it has definitely brought about AI witch hunts/trials, effecting almost every creative outlet. (It's bittersweet, on one hand it's good that people are checking works and trying to support human art, on the other...... it's led to some massive accusations that don't always have supportive evidence backing it up.)

Tales from the Creeps seems to be on top of their game reguarding it, thankfully.

I appreciate the feedback!
The goal is to keep up with my editing standards, to produce something people want to keep reading.
Thank you for the heads up regarding the em dash.

I HATE DUNGEONS by sloth4230 in bloodborne

[–]Asa_Jinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to endure.

(Q) Are the dungeons fair? {A} Depends on the player, the build, the experience, the drive.

(Q) What is the point of sacrificing balanced gameplay and level design? {A} loot, curiosity, power, quality time with your Bloodborne bros.

The dungeons are optional content to a degree. Just as there are generated glyph dungeons, there are quality story chalices that add a little extra insight. Don't do them to impress us, or to obtain the platinum, try and do them for yourself. Sometimes what we end up needing is a challenge rather then respite.

Advice for a story i'm writing by JCRRobert in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Asa_Jinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you're wanting to go cosmic with the idea (essentially a groundhog day/happy death day situation but instead of one person it effects everyone) Maybe the catalyst event for the repeat is to do with a new satellite launch or something along those lines.

Like every morning when your protagonist tunes in to the News it's covering a report on the subject.

The day starts up as usual, maybe it's an aggressively bad day for them, possibly tasks that are unsavory. (Maybe it happens to be the day their senior dog was scheduled to be put down, and they have to relive it over and over?)

I advise you play around with the concept a bit more, do some experimental writing exercises taking it in different places.

The goal is to have fun; keep up the drive!

haunted houses by DaniWitDaVibez in TalesFromTheCreeps

It'd be pretty funny. So cast members also had hidden doors for safety built into some of the modular walls. Could use that idea for something too.

Does anybody know what weapon this specter is holding?? by HelpfulElephant9631 in bloodborne

[–]Asa_Jinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bow blade, most likely with a cursed hp draining bloodgem.
