I'm not lying, when Hunter said he wanted an ending where Rainbow Dash had to live with being crippled I went into PTSD-esque convulsions.
There is a full series of literally that exact concept, and it's also a romance between Applejack and Rainbow Dash as Rainbow Dash recovers. I think it was The Cupcake Chronicles. There's also my favorite alt-ending concept that Cupcakes was actually a horror film like SAW and it was all a movieset.
There's a certain humor in having been into MLP as a 13 year old and listening to people who did not have that experience dogging on your own personal edgy kid Internet history. Great episode, we do need more really stupid edgy stories after all this Reddit semi-pro horror.
 
I need more episodes where these grown ass men are reading earlier internet teenage edge (Jeff the Killer is still one of my favorite Creepcast episodes) instead of seeing redditors trying to be professional horror authors and just coming off as more dry and lame for it.

Absolutely.

Plus the issue beyond the fact that ridiculous older stories are more entertaining, is that if they've got people specifically submitting stories to their subreddit to be read on the show, even if the story is sort of weird and dumb they aren't going to be willing to really tear into it because then it's going to seem mean spirited or like they're trashing their audience. That even extends to contemporary amateur authors in general. They're limited to reading some person's middling story and giving some tame/banal commentary on it, which most listeners probably aren't that interested in.

I understand it's easier for the material to come to you and it seems nice in theory to give people a chance to have their stuff read, but it's just not a great idea.
 
They really need to read more stories they can clown on, I haven't laughed this hard since I dared my best friend. From life is a highway to Meat going all in on the voice acting, I need more episodes like that. I would rather them read stories like this instead of the snoozefest that was "Church in the woods" and "My job is to clean up hoarder houses" where the stories get bogged down by dumping a ton of exposition and random bullshit at the end. Here's to hoping they finish "The thing in basement" some day.

Same, the Reddit stories are so damn hard to sit through since chances are the author's absolutely watching the videos as soon as they come up so they have to notably hold themselves back and keep coping with "It's not THAT Bad, let's give it a chance" every few seconds while reading already boring stories.
 
Stumbled on this in the Funny Pictures thread. 1755523397694.webp

 
the government keeps psyoping me to read house of leaves
so I just ordered it so they'll finally leave me alone
if it sucks it's goon's fault
I know this sounds like bullshit but I swear to God after I started reading this book my left eye turned half blind and I had constant headaches
I had a brain mri today to see what's wrong with me
This book is fucking haunted

The only way out is through. Keep reading or you might not get better.

Not to mention that their audience is pretty heavy on persons of gender and other “neurodivergents”, and younger people in general. So any criticism is going to get handled in the worst possible way.

It's poetic almost.
My Little Pony and Creepcast, Wendigoon and Hunter are fine on their own. It's their fucking fans that ruin it for everyone that isn't a complete fucking weirdo.
 
Man, I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. Perfectly rode the line between cringe and surprisingly compelling. I hate that I won't live to see the day that the copyright on MLP expires so that we can get a shitty no-budget live-action gorefest adaptation of it. Definitely one of the best episodes of the show

Has anyone checked to see what the patreon exclusive episodes are? I might have to track down copies of them

From what I can see from the site I'm lookin at, these are the only things not on youtube

1. A story called "Dollhouse"
2. Something called "Off The Record- Would you go see a dead body?". Which I assume is like a regular podcast/shoot the shit thing.
3. Another story called "Blackout".

Maybe what I'm using isn't up to date, but if it is that's even more not-worth-it than I initially thought. I'll give em a listen see if they're decent, maybe try uploading then somewhere too? Downloading them now either way.
 
They're already up on kemono if anyone wants a watch. In short, not very good stories. Sound like they're written by actual teenagers. Also a new live show but only in Chicago

Blackout was just meh. The only memorable thing was the narrator jumping between different ages and seemingly going mad that I think was the author trying to do...something...which they evidently thought was super clever, but naturally fucked up the execution so bad it just sounds unhinged. The rest of it sounds like that one creepypasta I've been trying to leave my bathroom for the past 30 minutes, but with none of the intrigue since the narrator has absolutely no agency to speak of. And of course the ending is cheap, they've been in a coma all along bullshit so none of it mattered in the end.

Dollhouse... kind of a middling story. You can see what the author was trying to do, but it's too much and too little at the same time. It's in that awkward middle ground where it could be a longer story covering real-world themes through this doll society, and a simpler story of a cute thing snapping and all the violence and gore that naturally comes with these kinds of stories (AKA that MLP pasta that did it way better than this story ever could). But it can't commit to either one of those so it's just mid, only saved by Hunter's voice acting. Apart from the villain, really the other memorable thing was how weirdly mature the beginning was, like the protagonist was a twenty-or-thirty-something widow dealing with adult emotions, and not a ten-or-twelve-year-old girl's first time dealing with the fact her parents are gone and never coming back. Then again: teenager.
 
Interesting thumbnail. Also another shorter episode.
This has no right to be this good. And like others said, the early stuff is way more entertaining than the various copy cats, and the big issue is that Creepcast will eventually run out of good material.

Also the video on the other channel is pretty neat.
It's about a woman nearly killed by psychopath husband that sabotaged her diving backpack.

I imagine it looked like this:
