Comment on You have my consent to kill me
capt_wolf@lemmy.world 1 day ago"This horror that stands before you is no man, nor it anything resembling man in any facsimile other than it stands upon two appendages that could be mistaken for feet. The realization of it’s mere and miserable existence finds you stricken with a cold sweat akin to the feel of a pale and slimy fish at the market. It’s visage strikes in your being a fear that cores your stomach deeper than any forgotten, but suddenly realized promise. "
Shit like that?

Bam. Spot on. That makes for great storytelling. There’s even a sanity mechanic.

That was kinda my approach, “How would I describe something that is so foreign to anything I’ve ever experienced that I’m entirely overwhelmed by the sheer realization of it’s existence. So much so that I can only describe the fear felt when seeing it?” The focus would first be on primal instincts before your brain could even begin with physical characteristics.

There’s an interesting generative experiment somewhere out there on the net that lets you generate “scary” images by progressively rating the output, it’s a neat tool, some of what it makes can mimic that horror, lol.

I have no interest in interacting with the “Phobiafinder 5000”. 😀

Oh, I’d be very interested in that if you can point me in any sort of direction.
