...to interpret things we don't understand.
Like conspiracy theories - people aren't sure how something is possible, so they come up with an explanation. Only difference between is that with conspiracy theories, there's already a better explanation.
But your idea is great fun.

be warned, this video is gory. really gory. like, childhood destroying, innocence-crushing gory.
this tale is basically the SONIC.EXE of the Thomas community.....in that it's not scary at all, is overrated as hell, and has been mocked mercilessly by the fandom's content creators.
how do I delete a comment?
i am indeed a member of the followers of the holy hometank, and in hindsight, I should've linked you guys to a fanwork that's actually terrible, like the "tragic" tale of Timothy
If you're not new, that sorry for not recognizing you. If you are, welcome to the PPC! We're glad to have you around.
What're your fandoms?

..and we all collectively decided that a PPC YouTube channel would be a terrible idea.
Not much we're missing out on anyhow - most fanworks that are videos are just random memelords making characters' bodies defy physics and similar stuff.

Kinda like how Ix did the fancomic "How I Became Yours."
Maybe footnotes with links to specific time marks, too, if audio samples would enhance the spork. Might be necessary to host the video yourself to ensure it doesn't up and vanish, though.
I wouldn't try this in a hurry myself, but I reckon it's doable.

I was thinking about it and it could be done. (I wouldn't suggest putting it on YouTube, of course. Just publicly shared on Google Drive.) And after watching that... I really, really wanted to spork it.
i understand if you can't tackle this one, so I've decided to supply a fanfic that's actually sporkable

People will never learn these are cliche now. It's very sporkable.

I think classical mythology developed in the same way creepy-pastas do, with the substitution of slightly drunk guys sitting next to a fire for random people on the internet. I fully expect there are a large number of bad Heracles stories that got forgotten.
"You know how Heracles, the great god, had a lovely wife and wonderful children, don't you? But what you don't know-" [Leans closer to the fire, flickering shadows playing over his face] "- is how he murdered them all!"
And how much of Greek mythology is basically 'really weird kinks, but with gods so it's okay'?

Bigger myths in general are what my default response kinda applies to, lol. That totally makes sense. *cough, Thor in drag* *cough, Loki and the goat entertaining the giantess*

And even more of Norse mythology.
To be fair, it does give an interesting twist to the "they killed my family, I must make them pay" plot.
