when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck
I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off
anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received
“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”
14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking

Democrat (smiling through tears) y-yes…like a Cheeto :’)
theres something about petscop that's really amazing because i've watched petscop a few times. i've watched multiple video essays about it a few times each. i know all of the story beats, i know for a fact there aren't any jumpscares. But Every Single Time any type of petscop on screen, i am on edge i am in fear i am so unsettled. petscop rules.
