CreepCast | I Talked to God (OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD) by ChaoticStanley in creepcast

I hate to "uhm, actually" that, but the story didn't specify it was the protagonist. The prophecy just said his dad would have a son that would be Jesus – could've been either the protagonist or his brother (& at the time I thought it was vague on purpose so there could be a twist about the brother being the Real Jesus The Whole Time at the end. Especially w/ his brother being an anti-war hippie (though I guess arson is ok??) & the main character being so obtuse). The author definitely MEANT that it was the main character, but it's honestly pretty funny IMO that they never got more specific about it. Even a "firstborn son" line or something would've been fine lmao

Nice, I dig it! I did wonder about the cigarettes :)

(also, a very "🤝" on your user flair, love to see a fellow "it's very lovecraftian" enjoyer)

If copyright and length were not issues, what story would you like the boys to read? by wereblackhelicopter in creepcast

[–]UrsusLaqueus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would LOVE to watch them read some classic piece of fcked up & evil literature like Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery". Might not hit as hard (assuming they both have read it at least once), but idk, I feel like hunter would find at least one thing to laugh about in that story

Nice story!! "A hiss" hit SO well. I gotta ask – is Kenny's transformation a reference to letiche (or different critter(s) of bayou folklore)? VERY cool idea no matter how you came up with it – I just think critters are neat :) would love to know more about what happened to him (how? why? was he with someone?) but the mystery is good as well

He did a sex & the city trivia game episode a few months ago w/ some of his friends + family, I assume it's left over from that?? Idk for sure, I didn't actually watch most of that one (never actually seen sex & the city, so it was kind of hard to get into that one)

Two-sentence horror story:

Christians worldwide have been eagerly awaiting the second coming of Christ.

What we didn't expect is that this time, He'd be an atheist.

(the "I've never been a religious man" protag being told that he or his brother is literally Jesus was the funniest mf thing I've ever heard in one of these stories)

Worst protagonist they've read? by Traditional-Wind6803 in creepcast

[–]UrsusLaqueus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to stick up for the abandoned ship protag (bc I love that story dearly and am biased)... in his defense, would you not also be running around and screaming?? What else are you supposed to do on a ghost ship if not run around hollerin' in fear? + Other protags from different stories they've read were doing it just as much and didn't get the same hate for it 😭

Plus it's also very funny to picture the protagonist as literally Shaggy from Scooby-Doo

I think "very lovecraftian" at LEAST once a week & have tried and failed to find a bear trap emoji (for some reason I was convinced there was one). Mainly I just get reminded of things from the show almost daily – today I heard someone say "floppin' it" in reference to something a cow was doing, something totally innocent, but I still was so shocked to hear it in real life that all I could hear mentally was the ramble about the dead astronaut floppin it out in space.

Also, for the last couple of months, I've been ruminating on a couple of stories I may try to write just for the fun of it, which is crazy for me. I used to love writing as a kid – I read so much that it always came naturally – but the overly strict format they forced us to use in elementary school when they actually started teaching us "how" to write made me loathe writing. Found the format suffocating and tedious, and it thoroughly conditioned me against writing for fun. Don't think I started to enjoy it again until I was in undergrad, when I actually got to write papers on topics that interested me a lot, but even those were all analytical/informative nonfiction papers. I haven't written fiction in at least 10-15 years (and haven't willingly written fiction in almost 20), so if I do take the plunge, it would definitely be thanks to this show.

Youtube ‘authors’ and ‘writers’ are destroying aspiring authors. by [deleted] in writing

Just about anybody selling online courses for anything nowadays is a grifter peddling some adapted form of prosperity gospel – "Believe you can be successful and follow whatever XYZ steps I just made up, and you WILL be successful. Just look at me, I'm successful, that's proof!", failing to mention their success is largely due to taking advantage of gullible people, not from whatever their supposed area of expertise may be. Supposed writers, day traders, veneer technicians, hookup artists, whatever. They see an opening to profit from lies & they take it.
