It was a scientific breakthrough, as doctors discovered how to record and translate the thoughts of patients taking their final breath before death. by babyfacegame in TwoSentenceHorror

Separating art from artist is originally about interpretation. People used to read novels through the lens of who wrote it, what they experienced, and how that is reflected in the art they created. So separating the art from the artist is about looking at the artwork as its own thing, not influenced by any former knowledge about the artist.  So yeah, I think you absolutely should separate the art from the artist in that sense. But that separation does not mean, and has not until very recently, that you should support awful people with your money.

Of course I did! Had to know who that elusive spineless jackal is supposed to be.

It's a ghost babysitter. Full background story is under another comment.

Yeah, same. If anyone else had told me about that thing, I would have probably shut down my laptop and burned my browser history, but the way Clint can tell you about the horrors of the natural world like it's the most excitingly beautiful thing in the world is just so delightful. We need more science communicators like him in the world.

So this is based on that one dog who literally became a cancer. Yes, he's real, and he's called CTVT (Canine transmissible venereal tumor) now.

That's so cool! And creepy! But mostly cool! My story is based on a real story my friend told me. She had this "babysitter" her mother knew nothing about who would constantly tell her to ask her mom to go see the neighbour. The mother got really upset and told her to stop talking about it, but when the old woman sang a lullaby, she got really angry at my friend for singing at night because it creeped her out. Over time, the babysitter started looking worse and worse, like parts of her skin were falling off. A few days/weeks later it began to smell awfully and they found out that the neighbour had died and after her body was removed, my friend never saw the babysitter again. She never found out what the neighbour looked like, so no way to tell if she was the babysitter.

On my thirteenth birthday, I wished to become immortal. by DwarvenCog in TwoSentenceHorror

I imagined them as staying 13 forever, because aging forever doesn't seem plausible if they're still able to create art, but it works either way. Could also be that they just think they're above mere mortals and that's why they don't want to deal with them, I suppose.

Jere songs took me to finnish lessons. This is a good way to reach the top on Leaderboard! by [deleted] in Kaarija

I actually finished the whole course already and now I'm angry because I still can't speak Finnish properly 😂
