A quick PSA for people who saw the most recent AYS episode ("Are You Scared of the Cave?") and are disappointed and/or confused by the creepypasta they chose: the episode didn't cover the full story!

"Ted the Caver" is an eleven-part story; the AYS episode only covers the eleventh and final entry. The first and last entries contain no cave content, but the middle nine? Packed to the gills with it. They even have photos, like this one!

Quality cave content!

Here's a link to the first page of the Angelfire blog where the story was originally posted; and here's a link to the full story all on one page. Feast upon the darkness, friends.

dreamed that kindergarten nap was called sleep class and everybody went to sleep including the teacher. if you were awake it would get a little bit foggy outside and grey and cloudy, and these guys would start approaching the classroom from behind the tree line (forgive my shitty phone drawing)

and they were at least a story tall, some of them were taller, you could see their legs over the trees. they would approach very slowly. this one (the one i drew) had a name for some reason, his name is kick.

before i was totally awake my brain conjured a meme of a bunch of these guys approaching from the treeline and a child watching from the window with the caption “when you the only one awake in sleep class 😂😳😏”

reasons why benrey is actually a very ambitious mushrooom(/fungi):

mushrooms are very cool

benrey has a rather large amount of influence over the course of both life and death within the area they exist in

the sweet voice could theoretically function as both spores and some mix of strong poison, sedative, or other effect mushrooms are known for

there are some kinds of mushrooms that are able to hijack the minds of bugs and control them. this feature could explain the skeletons and benreys ability to come back after dying-spreading spores to hijack the mind and body of any passing scientest or guard

mushrooms are rlly cool and i like them

the ability to heal could be due to the body functioning like the mycelium of the mushroom. any harm fills in through a mix of decay and growth

the helmet hides a bunch of little mushrooms bc i think its fun

in this scenario benrey who is a very ambitious mushroom could absolutely hijack the science teams bodies, or at the very least gordons due to direct sweet voice ingestion, but doesnt bc he is polite

if any one has any other ideas relating to this PLEASE share them your words are like kisses to my brain in the softest way

god i can never stop thinking about certain sculptures used in modern art and how they can be used to elicit the beautiful and terrible feeling of true and genuine horror in ways that a lot of horror movies can never do

like when you ask people “what is horror?” they’ll tend to give examples of monsters, of killers, of dark places, of sharp teeth and too many legs and lots and lots of blood. which is true, that can be used as horror! but i’d like to call that “the horror of being eaten/hurt/killed” or more succinctly “the horror of vulnerability”. it’s a horror that something, whether it’s a killer or a monster or some phenomenon, has the ability to cause us harm. we see large amounts of teeth and we think “that thing is going to tear us to pieces with those teeth” or we see spilled blood and we think “someone has been hurt, there’s a chance we can be hurt too by whatever spilled this blood”.

but what certain modern sculptures can do is elicit a very physical visceral reaction of a completely different kind of horror. 

it’s “the horror that something is a thing that SHOULD not exist, and you are absolutely powerless to understand what it is, but it is existing in your space, right now, it is real and you cannot make it unreal no matter what you do”

or perhaps, in a shorter fashion, it’s “the horror of wrongness”

like one of the sculptures that made me feel this way is this sculpture here, named “Monekana” located in the American Art Museum in Washington D.C:

“okay,” you say, with a shrug. “it’s a horse made of wood? what’s so scary about that?”. but this is the lie of the photograph! a photograph of a sculpture rarely grasps the experience of standing next to a sculpture. you have to picture yourself walking into this room, practically devoid of people, and coming face to face with this sculpture that is very large and very real.

and your brain screams that “THIS IS WRONG. MAKE IT GO AWAY. THIS IS WRONG”, like at any moment you expect it to move, to twist its head, to follow you with eyes that aren’t simply there. it looks like a horse but it is no horse. you could almost argue that maybe it isn’t even an art piece at all, but it wandered in from god knows what kind of world and it’s blending in with everything else. maybe it’s fooling you. maybe it isn’t.

anyways, i’m not trying to say that this sculpture in particular is SUPPOSED to be scary, it may make other people feel nothing at all (or even positive feelings!), but what i’m trying to say is that feeling i had that day, when i saw this thing, when i felt this fearful instinct to stay away and not stare, it’s THAT feeling that i feel so many writers and makers of horror don’t completely understand. you don’t need teeth. you don’t need blood. you don’t need to make Spooky Scary Skeletons or chainsaw-wielding villains. all you need is to create something wrong in its existence, something to make parts of us fear the fact that we can’t entirely rationalize what we’re seeing.

that’s horror, to me.
