SirFiftyFive I've been thinking about the original "Abandoned By Disney" story by slimebeast.
So I wanna clarify I think its mostly good! When I reread it for the first time in years, it was surprising how genuinely good the text was. It felt like an actual post on a blog about an island & the exprience the author had with it. I also felt like it had a good atmosphere, building up good tension in the story about the unease of the setting. Even the giant snake section felt like a real experiance the protag had despite the reported size of it.
& then photo-negative mickey happens...
I don't think it should've been executed the way it was. The idea of a costume standing in front of the protag, asking the line it does & taking of its head is fine in concept. It can be a creepy way to end the story. But the fact the costume is photo-negative instead of regular or moldy & that the blood is yellow and shown ruins the story for me. I feel like it was an attempt by the author to bait the audiance to draw art of it. Which, fine I guess, and it worked. But I feel like it doesn't fit the setting or tone of the story.
I've heard that slimebeast wrote 3 other stories in this universe & I'm curious about how the author furthered this setting. But I will admit that this story in specific leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
