I've been watching this channel for about a year now and only just realizing the narrator is literally a literary device

Quit it. There's no way anyone's that dumb. Of course a narrator is a literary device but this is a VIDEO so it's a NARRATIVE device. Narrator Narrative Narrative+ orator = *surprised Pikachu face*

The tonal whiplash of going from the little prince to a liminal horror story

36:51 one of my favorite examples of this is in Terraway. The entire game you can see yourself looking through the game’s sun, looking down into the origami world you are currently playing. It’s you controlling the main character, making designs to help them, and telling them where to go. However there are points where they also interact with you. They throw stones at you so you can throw them back at enemies, and near the end of the game they hear sad singing and fly into your controller. Also the whole game you are given origami instructions for the games’ creatures, and at the end of the game when the main character is sharing their story, they say “you have seen all our world has to offer, but I still don’t know yours. Please bring me to yours so I can see how wonderful your world is as well.” Then you are given an origami of the main character, encouraging you to make build them, bringing them into your world.

Whatever this feelings is, to hug the character narrating the stories! To introduce them to my dear ones and appreciate the narration and the suttle background music! Is it similar to the cosmic (impossible, as the narrator is not in my plane of existence) bliss I have a tiny wish to be part of?

It's so good to hear someone talking about What Remains of Edith Finch. That game is permanently burned into my head in a way I don't really know how to describe. Each story feels like it happened to someone close. Everyone should play it as long as they have a box of tissues nearby.

Gotta get advantage of being early to say a big "Thank you" I finally decided to write stories again and I'm loving it! Thank you so much!

I've written several comments thus far on this video - all erased. I can't. I struggle to put them succinctly into words. Please continue your work - your channel is an absolute joy to watch. Thank you.

@@romanparr I was only half-joking, I do actually like SCP as a concept but I don't follow any specific Canon for it (like an Agnostic kind of), the idea that people all across the world can come together and create a world is very interesting and unique. But as a person in the Powerscaling Community, SCP Fans have left a sour taste in my mouth with the usage of the characters within it. But to be fair, that's the minority.

This man's art Is amazing he's right he's creativity Is so high also I discovered when my brother told me

Love all your videos, I love how they make me think and how they make me feel. Its a different kind of video you see compared to what’s on here nowadays

I was thinking here while writting my book, I know there were a lot of differences between ""grammatical tenses" from english and portuguese(my language), and even more from other languages, but I was thinking about if you could make a video approaching the narration in first/third person in past and present tense, the contrast between these cases. The most topics I find in books and in internet is more about the prescriptivist concept of the question, but I was thinking about how these differences in the way of writting can subjective and deeply transform the tools and the conception we could inflict(as a writter), and the perception of the reader about our story, our characters, our storytelling afteralll.

Onb I fell asleep to bros voice

I have a character in my WIP novel that is supposed to personify justice. She starts as an ill tempered angry war vet who fought as a child in a veitnam-esk war. She goes through a transformation into a bringer of justice. Rant aside, the archetype of “justice” would make a good vid topic

Tron immediately had me considering the idea of some higher reality programming my world and the aesthetic details of my world which are mundane representing some beautiful bizarre fantasy to their eyes

Watching that last one, i realize that one of my favorite games, rain world, is an exellent example of cosmic beauty Highly, HIGHLY reccomend if you like that kind of thing

Tale Foundry is such a wonderful channel, not just because it taught me many things about writing and stories, but because it also gave me so many ways to use and expand my imagination

Here is hoping 2024 is just as good.

Ya know, ive never found cosmic horror scary but somewhat interesting. I think though the reason i dont think its scary is less of a "cosmic bliss" or "shutdown" response to it and its more just a matter of perspective. The way i was raised included the idea that humans arent really that special. We are small, the universe is vast, and we are here by sheer circumstance and coincidence. If thats your starting perspective then the idea that there are thibgs outthere greater than you or that you are insignificant is just kinda "ok, and?"

I love your videos!

My fav robot!!!!

Amazing

When you said that shutting down emotions might be a good coping mechanism I thought of not being able to shut down. Then I realized that that's pretty common. Autistic people for example, often have both hypersensitivity as well as a lower reaction to a brain deactivating amino acid called GABA. I think that in order to experience cosmic horror you somehow need to open the floodgates for the brain's capacity to measure horror in the first place. Otherwise you're just as scared as you could be during a normal life.

Great ranking.

Your videos are so underrated

Hey, tale foundry, I would like to see you make a video on how the story structure is in Korean mythology and k-dramas.😊

Nice

This Channel is singlehandedly saving my attention span from tiktok

i think a key reason cosmic horror isn't scary for so many humans is that, well we confront that kind of thing daily. or some of us do and most of the rest of us know about the results of those confrontations. things that threaten to strip free will from us, eat reality, make it incomprehensible, or even completely fictional. you find these things in philosophy, quantum and astro physics, the simulation hypothesis and more. the thought of things so large and old they not only do they not care they don't even notice us enough to even care aren't scary in the face of what we currently conteplate.

I got to admit I don't have nebula, so I'm not sure if video like that was ever made. Recently I was fascinated with idea of "lost innocence" in media. Where we see characters transistion from naive, pure, innocent people into those that are maybe not evil, but are aware of the dangers and vaguely defined darkness in the world

Over an hour video? Damnnnnnn, nice 👌

good video i gotta say

Any chance we'll see a piece on Babel? The magic system being tied to the history of words lost in translation has been fascinating to read about.

Thank you

Have you seen Marble Hornets? PLEASE do a video analyzing that series!!

on your "what if death was a person?" you missed the loving reaper

the most astounding thing is you made more than 1 video.

52:31 4th wall break

Yippie :D

Highly debatable

ah, the fifth wall. i'm glad to have a term now for this concept. it truly does feel like something that, once broken, can never truly be repaired. the truth of our own fiction, and how little we as people actually matter in the grand scheme of eternity. what you consider truth, what you consider so valid, is almost certainly not going to be true for everyone, or even for most. this, in my opinion, is why ghosts are seen as real, and why religion is seen as real. if you truly believe something, your perception is tinted with that belief. in a sense, we MAKE it real. the stronger the faith, the more it becomes real. when a miracle happens, a religious person views it as an act of god. it is true to them. when somebody who believes in ghost hears someone when there was no one, or sees someone when there was no one, then to them, it really was a ghost. other people who don't believe in those things simply have different truths. maybe their truths come from other sources, from experimentation, from reading, or from whatever. it may seem silly to both sides that the other believes in what they believe in, but us as humans only have one point of view. and again, if something feels real to us, then it's the same as if it was tangibly real. reality is truly what you make it, and that is one of the most important realizations of them all.

I love it

Hey, does anyone know about an old Tale Foundry video about chimeras? I could've sworn that they did one on that subject but I can't find it. Does anyone remember what it's called or what happened to it?
