User blog:Princess Callie/Here's a Question...

It's a question pertaining to the dearly beloved subject of creepypastas... A matter of opinion in truth.

Which do you prefer when it comes to a pasta: A clean death, a torturous and painful death, psychological torture, or a mixture? Personally, I would say mixture.

It's just me after all. The prospect is basically that mental, that is, psychological, torture can reach depths of the human spirit that physical torture can't. But combine it with the physical torture, you've got yourself a psychedelic mess of gore, tears, and a nice little thrill to go with it. That, to me, is a creepypasta.

I'm saying this because I don't see many pastas nowadays that pertain too much to the aspect of any form of torture- not that even that concept of paranoia (someone's following me!) that the older stories have. Many of them have a slightly scary looking character, a quick clean death, and that's it. I'm not saying those can't be good, I'm just saying that they don't offer too much of the thrill I get from a pasta story. Whatever happened to the paranoia of BEN following his victim around everywhere, the mental torturess that Fluttershy turns into in Pattycakes just because she got desperate for a baby, the victim still unrealistically being alive somehow while Slenderman guts him and sticks him on top of a tree, the not so gory, slow, painful deaths that were exerted in the day? I don't see many of these anymore, but that might be just me.

So, what is your opinion? What do you like in tastes when it comes to a pasta?
