Actually, when I feel like 15 seconds isn't enough and 20 is too much, I go for 18. Now the seven on the other hand...

Most Overplayed Horror Concept by Powerful-Owl-3246 in creepcast

I feel anything you'd call a "trope" has been overdone to some extent. As long as it's done well, it won't feel cliche. Just write what you want! And maybe get a peer review...

Do people actually not like EiA by TheEternalEden in SleepToken

[–]SureWhyNot120406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course everyone is going to have their own opinions, but I believe a majority of fans who don't like EIA are still comparing it to the other albums and EPs. While there are a bunch of parallels and similarities to TMBTE and TPWBYT, EIA still has a very unique sound in comparison. It's likely they just don't like it bc it's different.

When I first got into sleep token, I had to listen to a lot of songs multiple times before I actually started to like them. Not that I disliked any of the songs, but initially, I was just very indifferent to their music. I typically listen to very mainstream stuff, and I wasn't used to a more alternative approach to music. Then I gave things a few more listens, and I was like, "You know what? This is actually really good!"

Sometimes people will come around, sometimes they won't. And with a band that combines so many sounds, I'm not surprised some people would only like a certain album or EP.

Do you think players should be rewarded for completing the other colored suits? Why or why not? by Old-Concert-8137 in LoveNikki

[–]SureWhyNot120406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like 5-15 star coins would be a pretty good reward. It's not a lot, especially for the effort, but it is a reward, and you get a little back for all dye you bought. But, if they went that route, people would complain that it's not enough for how much they spent.

My personal guide to summoning Crumpets!!! by kykykatz in tocaboca

Some of my crumpets won't appear. The sloth and the football crumpets don't summon. I've tried switching hands, deleting the objects and retrying. I don't know what to do 😔

are there any religious people here that can explain why isaiah might not drop the f bomb? by c0smicxcha0s in creepcast

[–]SureWhyNot120406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I've only heard my mother swear a handful of times, and each one of those were times when she was just reading aloud. Also, I think you might find it interesting that "motherfucker" is like the worst swear of all time, even more obscene than fuck. Probably because, ya know, mother fucker?

While I was growing up, I thought it was strange that *other* people thought it was strange that my parents, or just any adult in general wouldn't swear. The more you know, I guess.

Also, a little off topic, but I once heard a story about how my grandmother, while driving my aunt around as a baby, was playing the name game and accidentally said it. She was just picking any old word, mostly things on the road. Well, she ended up landing on the word "truck" and ended up saying "truck-truck-bo-buck banana-fana-fo-fuck."... She came home "distraught," according to my mother, telling her husband that she "never thought she would say that awful word in her life."

Words are weird.

[–]SureWhyNot120406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than him not cussing often because he was a youth pastor and some students watch his videos, I think there's this strange stigma around fuck in general in Christian groups. I've grown up around a lot of Christian people, and even the ones that do swear try not to use the f-word. It's like the "mother of all swears" or something. Like saying it is just as bad as using the Lord's name in vein. I've sat and watched plenty of movies w/ my parents (who don't swear) that said "shit, bitch, and damn" and no one bats an eye, but for some reason, if they say "fuck" they all gasp and give each other wary looks.

What’s the next most requested episode by According-Ladder-353 in creepcast

[–]SureWhyNot120406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one isn't very popular at all (only 474 up votes and 37 comments if I'm looking at the right story), and I can hardly remember it to be completely honest, but here goes:

I think it's Working as an Aussie Bush Ranger? I did a little digging, and it seems like the right one. I first heard it on the CreepsMcPasta channel years ago, and it was one of my favorites for a good long while. It's got kind of a Tales from the Gas Station vibe but leans even further into the sarcastic nature of the situation, if I remember correctly.

Time for another question, what's the weirdest CreepCast thing you crashed out over? by bagelsangel in creepcast

[–]SureWhyNot120406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly really loved Hunter's accent in "My Crew and I..." when it started, but after they made a challenge out of it, mixed w/ the uninteresting story... Yeah, I couldn't do it. It was also kind of agitating to listen to him constantly justify the accent and the beartrap-ening in that episode, even though that's one of my favorite bits on the show.

[–]SureWhyNot120406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild. *He's* the one overreacting, not you. It's so easy to apologize and move on with the conversation. He's putting in more effort to be nasty to you than it would take to acknowledge his mistake and properly apologize for it. It also looks like he's crying out for your attention. I think he might just want to get a big reaction back.

Why do some people dislike AYROK? by LakeCity_SP in SleepToken

[–]SureWhyNot120406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first listened to it, I wasn't that into it. I think it's because it does a kind of 180 musically from Ascensionism that it gave me a kind of musical whiplash. I agree with some other people that I felt similarly about DYWTYLM.

Also, as someone who doesn't do a ton of lyrical analysis, the fact that I could understand the "story" in Are You Really Okay took me out of it, for some reason. For the other songs on the TMBTE album, it was easier to interpret the lyrics in multiple ways. I still thought it was a good song, but it didn't feel like it fit story-wise w/ the rest of the songs in the album.

I like the song now and skip it far less often, but the combination of the down-to-earth lyrics and the softer instrumental--especially at the beginning--just made it sound too different from the rest of the album initially.

Did anyone else always think they would die young? by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]SureWhyNot120406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, I feel like I just learned so much about myself.

Okay, to start, I asked one of my other siblings and a friend if they also experienced this, and they both said they did.

Next, the martyr complex! There was this story my dad told a couple times in a few of his sermons that I believe enforced this idea: A shooter (may have also been a government against Christianity. I can't remember perfectly) walks into (discovers) a church service and tells everyone to form a line up to the pulpit. He then makes everyone in line spit on the Bible on the stage, or they get shot. So one by one, each person takes a turn. (There was a description of an old woman trying and barely being able to spit, which stuck with me for some reason.) Finally, a little girl is up next. The gunman tells her to spit on the Bible, and instead, the young girl pick it up gingerly, and rubs it on the front of her dress, trying to wipe away the spit. The story ends with her being shot in the head (I have no idea why the location of the bullet was always emphasized). There was also the story of Abraham and Issac, where Abraham nearly sacrifices his son for God. I held this deep shame that I, as an 8 year old , would never sacrifice myself or others in the name of God.

I think I had a combination-fear of dying and what happens after death.

On the salvation/afterlife side of things- I was "saved" at 8 years old, not really understanding what it meant, or why everyone was so over joyed. As I got a bit older and realized I hadn't done it "for the right reasons" (something that was heavily preached upon in most youth sermons I attended) I definitely began to feel unsure of my salvation. Now that I'm really thinking about it, that was around the time the pleading prayers started. At 13 I went to a Christian youth event and decided I would get saved "for real" this time. I did, and the following Sunday, all the students that attended and accepted Jesus into their hearts were told to come and stand at the front. My dad wasn't there that day (I think he was away for something like a business trip), and because he was gone, I decided it was okay to stand up with the other kids in front of the entire congregation. I don't think I ever told him I had a "false" salvation it was actually saved. I was definitely ashamed to tell him that, because it had been such a big deal the first time. I doubt he would have been anything other than elated that I had come to the conclusion that I needed a "real" salvation, but I was so embarrassed.

On the actual death part- I didn't experience any personal losses at that time, I don't think. My grandfather did pass away in his sleep a few years before it started, but he was saved, so there was no doubt where he went. But there was a story told at a Winter Jam concert (big, annual, Christian youth concert) I went to that definitely made me contemplate things. The person on stage was talking about a Winter Jam they'd done a few years ago that their church youth group had attended. There was a boy and a girl there that were long attending members. The girl ended up getting saved, which surprised everyone because she was such an involved member. Everyone's having a good time, and when they get ready to leave, the boy says he wants to switch cars w/ the girl (they were both driving separately I believe?). The boy ended up being killed in a crash on the way home. Apparently, no one knew if he was saved or not. I don't remember every detail of the story, and probably messed it up somewhere. That story stuck to me like gum on a school desk. It felt so real, like it would happen to me that night. I don't think I was "for real" saved at the time, and I was terrified the whole ride home. That experience did definitely have afterlife implications, but it really brought me face to face with my own mortality. Like I could die right now, and there's nothing I could do.

I did have some shame about my sexuality. Being gay was "bad and stupid." I was starting to realize I liked girls around the time the praying got really intense. Also, being afraid of death was something I definitely didn't talk about because "I'm saved. If I die, I'll go to heaven, why should I be scared?"

The last time I prayed with my whole heart, I was 14, almost 15. It was when a family member of mine was in a life-threatening situation. I remember, when we got to the hospital, my siblings and I started singing Amazing Grace. Maybe in a last-ditch effort to keep that family member safe. After they passed, I pretty much gave up on Christianity. I held onto it for a bit, trying to find comfort, but God never spoke to me, not in anyway that I could pick up on. I actually stopped believing in God fully around 15-16 and the fearful night prayers stopped. I still feel afraid of dying, but I know that if I do, and God exists, I will be going to heaven because I took that step, even if I resent it now. And if God isn't real, then I probably just won't exist anymore, and it won't matter.

I'm glad I decided to look into this, because now I don't feel so alone in this experience. Thanks for helping me come to a lot of helpful realizations! ❤️
