I don’t see anyone talking about the cicada imagery at the end. If this girl was going to prom… she was likely 17, somewhere in that range. Cicadas only live for about 17 years. They hatch from an egg, burrow underground, and live there for about 17 years. Only after that amount of time do they become mature enough to mate and fertilize or lay eggs, after about two weeks of which they die. Marie was the earth that Gloria burrowed into, only to emerge from inside her after 17 years. Now I wonder how long she’ll get away with being Marie

I am ADHD autistic (born that way) and have acquired mental illness as an adult (PTSD / social anxiety). I found that adopting a dog helps me function as a developmentally disabled adult. My brain can't do internal motivation and executive functioning because of the lesions on my prefrontal cortex and atypical dopamine, but the external motivation of having a dog to take care of helps me keep a daily schedule. I read about someone with schizophrenia who had a service dog who would respond to sounds. If the person heard a noise and the dog didn't respond, the person knew it was an auditory hallucination. Support from others, human or animal, is a great way to navigate life as a disabled / neurodivergent / mentally ill person. Trying to do it alone leads to burnout (in my experience).

Clean up on aisle three? More like clean up on aisle Marie am I right? Reminds me of the Junji Ito story where the mom finds her daughter is layered a million times over, and peels the layers of her daughter till it is a younger version of her inside. So disgusting but great imagery

[@Redsby]

I like that Shane mentioned some people do not have an audible inner voice, I'm a part of that percentage of the population and the term for it is Anauralia. I also have Aphantasia, which is the inability to create mental images, so when someone asks something like: "Can you imagine...," it's impossible for me to do so. I always thought questions of the sort were metaphorical and didn't know others expected me to actually create a vivid mental image. When I close my eyes there is only darkness, and I am unable to hear my voice narrating my thoughts. Thoughts just appear in my mind and all I do is comprehend them.

[@TheGuindo]

i'm very curious, if you don't have mental images OR an internal voice, what form do your thoughts take?

[@Redsby]

@@TheGuindo The easiest way to explain the thought process, without getting too abstract, would be that my mind instinctually thinks words without the assistance of any of the senses. Thoughts for me don't take any form, they come and go in the moment. Think of it like this: when you are speaking to someone face-to-face, you hear their words but you don't physically see the words leave their mouth like subtitles since the sound of speech, for the most part, doesn't have a physical form. It's an auditory experience that your brain processes and comprehends automatically. My brain simply thinks of words, processes them, and comprehends their meaning the same as anyone else's (without all the senses interfering). I'm sorry if this is confusing but it is a tricky topic to explain.

[@TheGuindo]

@@Redsby hmmm i'm not sure i understand correctly because that doesn't sound that different from how my own inner monologue works. i definitely have an inner voice that feels like me talking to myself inside my head, but it doesn't really have any sound associated with it. like, i _can_ imagine a specific sound to it if i focus on giving it one, but by default it doesn't sound like anything. my roommate has aphantasia and has described the way he dreams as "dreaming in concepts instead of pictures", and i guess it's a little like that? it's the _concept_ of a voice without the _sound_ of a voice.

[@Redsby]

@@TheGuindo Yes, I agree. My thoughts don't have an audible inner voice attached to them but I do conceptualize a "voice" for them, and as you said, by default there is no sound. Also, I relate to what your roommate explained about aphantasia, except, for myself, I'm able to dream with a visual sense to some degree but my ability to do that is very weak. However, when awake and conscious I'm unable to create that same mental imagery. Aphantasia is a spectrum and is different for each person who has it.

The alchemy of the human experience is that we are more than the sum of our parts. It is also very, very important for mental health to not convict ourselves of "thought crimes," especially when dealing with symptoms outside of our personal control, like intrusive thoughts, negative impulses, hallucinations and delusions, etc. Intrusive thoughts, specifically, tend to be what a person considers most horrifying, distressing, taboo... As someone with OCD, I had to learn to separate who I am from the mental static or I would have died. It matters a lot that people not equate their identity and self-worth to every passing thought that moves through their head.

An 8/10 tale! Loved the story until the end. I really thought this was gunna be purely medical; was hoping they would find a brain mass. Something causing her to hallucinate her subliminal (unnecessary but common) guilt for being the surviving twin. As she was privy to the info about her twin before she first heard the voice, she would have been under 6 finding out something rather hard to process? As the mass grew, it caused symptoms of a skitzo-spectrum disorder to grow over time; this increase causing paranoia and aggression eventually. Really thought this would be the route, and that she'd have the tumor removed and start living a normal life with some minor ptsd until one day in her elderly dimension, the tumor came back and the voice came back. Idk why I rewrote this whole thing in my mind. I'm sorry. Love yalls commentary just the same!

I don't know how old she was when the sorbet thing happened, but she had obviously been controlling her own body for years when all the sudden she couldn't.

Anyways, I was a huge fan of Shane and Ryan in their buzzfeed days and just now found this channel. I am ecstatic I can still watch them!! 😁

I can’t believe a baby wrote this comment, quite impressive

[@KIKITHESDC]

@@rebmichelle 😭😭😭 ah, yes, indeed. Some would say I'm a child prodigy... 😂😂😂

[@rebmichelle]

@@KIKITHESDC you've got a one-up on your twin for sure

[@PokhrajRoy.]

OMG I can’t believe it’s the Season Finale of ‘Are You Scared?’ I’ve been thinking of sending a story and I still haven’t done that :(

[@katiedanielle6116]

thank you for a great season, well done everyone!!! Looking forward to the next one 😊👍🏻

[@meow6176]

honestly this was a really good slow burn horror story. i had to pause the video bc the suspense was getting to me.

[@ook4698]

as someone w did this just sounds like did i love when ppl accidentally describe did in this kinda shit and are like "ooo scary and crazy" yet i deal w this shit every day LMFAO

[@ook4698]

this one just didnt rlly hit guys. felt a lil ableist, especially shane being like "im gloria now!" as if thats funny??? this ep just rubbed me the wrong way

[@RefinedSilence]

As a twin myself, that didn't absorb my twin, this story still sends chills down my spine.

[@achilleus_eh]

yknow, ryans narrator voice is so soothing and with the calm piano in the background, these videos are usually the best to take naps to ... but those goddamn nightmarish gurgling sounds ... they are terrifying to wake up from, hot damn

[@cozygamergirlie]

Fun fact: My dad has a vanishing twin. It never did anything except make him into a man with a VERY large personality, enough for two people we always say.

[@bill4665]

YESSSS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH GUYS!!! YOURE THE AVSOLUTE BEST! I THOUGHT THIS SEASON WAS OVER BCS OF YOUR IG POST!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING SUPRISE!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@masonsauer3081]

I feel like this whole ordeal couldve been avoided if gloria just chilled out and asked nicely to use the body every once in a while

[@CantStayAway]

I've had a story idea like this in my head for a while, so it's so cool to see this! I've always been fascinated by the idea of the supernatural possibilities between one living twin and one twin who passed away, because there's so much superstition about twins to begin with...so much creepy possibility...

[@badatthiss2]

Please tell me you're not done with this series :(

[@cerberus2534]

By far the most unique, and favorite, story! So creepy and disturbing, especially with the body horror bit.

[@finchavri]

i have DID and the beginning of this story is eerily similar to what it felt like before i got a diagnosis

[@Thestrangepeach]

Y'all saying "absorbed" making me think of Kirby

[@Martha-Novalin-]

I love when they cite Ledger Joker. Makes me so nostalgic. We knew this damn movie by heart. And Shane mentioning El laberinto del Fauno in the Baby episode. *Chefs kiss*

[@cyber_runner]

Well, I'm diagnosed with D.I.D., so the voices are normal-

[@taylorwalker7417]

The stories really ramped up this season, boyos! Can't wait for the next one!

[@flacht_6]

CGP Grey’s “You are Two” video discusses a very similar concept to this! Where split brained patients can disagree with “themselves” when selecting something like food or clothes

[@dis8791]

Is that about dissociative disorders? Or what do you mean "split brain" patients?

[@alexandrarose149]

I’m surprised that no one mentioned the movie ‘malignant’ which had a very similar plot. I’m even more surprised at the fact that suddenly everyone in the comment section has an absorbed/ vanishing twin.

[@valentinacanani1906]

YES!! I was looking for a comment mentioning the movie, it was the first thing that popped on my mind when they started talking about absorbed twins.

[@jeffreycarey1680]

To be fair, the vanishing twin thing in Malignant is meant to be a surprise. I can understand fans not wanting to ruin that for people.

[@freya2294]

love it when the titles hit a little too close to home

[@evanyes5762]

Please bring this serie back!

[@matthewdekker6064]

I think the people saying that they don't experience a running "voice" in their head are just interpreting the situation differently. Similar to how some people say they can think of an "apple" and then envision a perfect-looking apple in their "mind's eye," while others say they can't do that. I think everyone's actually pretty similar in these regards, but we interpret it differently, and/or just use different words to describe the same sensation. Because I would say that I have a running voice in my head, but if you were to press me on it, I certainly wouldn't describe it as an *actual* voice that I'm "hearing," it's simply my thoughts that are running through my mind sometimes (sometimes constantly, and other times, it's pretty "quiet"). I would also say that I can conjure up an apple in my mind's eye, but if you pressed me on it, I wouldn't say that I'm literally *seeing* an apple. I'm just thinking of one, and I know what they look like, so it just kinda *feels* like I can see it, because I can envision it pretty clearly. When I simply think of an apple, it's not like my eyes are even doing anything - it's all just in my head. Similar to the voice - my ears aren't *hearing* anything at all. It all just depends on how you describe it.

[@AshlynnChristina]

I need another season already.. Can't wait. I also need a shirt that says "lock you doors.. turn off the lights and lets see if we can make it to the end of the night"

[@katienelson1073]

things i did not expect from this video but am thrilled about nonetheless: shane reacting to the story of ryan's first kiss

[@Transformers_nerd_stop_motions]

Please make a season 2 I'm loving all of these!

[@strawberrymilkteaa]

Shane missed the perfect opportunity to say "clean up on aisle Marie" 😔

[@Shynobi-san]

Doctor: "Ma'am, you left your skin at the hospital, would you mind coming back for it?"

[@PokhrajRoy.]

2:30 In my ideal world, I absorb a lot of chocolate. When I’m watching a movie in a theatre, I’m gracious enough to absorb not only to absorb my popcorn but also my mom’s/parent’s popcorn lmao

[@rheabruen]

the alternative to having an active voice in my head is constantly having a song playing in my head. like, if i don't think about anything in particular, all i get is "...take me on, i'll be gone in a day or tWOOOO...." i can make my thoughts say something if i want them to, and as i type this i am saying the words inside my head in my own voice to hear how they sound aloud, but my brain doesn't really have a running dialogue with me. just a playlist it lovingly curated for me. i also don't easily see pictures in my head unless i am on the verge of sleep. if someone asks me what someone looks like, i can bring up a picture, but if you asked me to picture an apple in my head, all i get is a super swirly, fuzzy picture with a grey film over it. i think this is why certain memory tricks don't work for me. like a common one is imagining you're in a house and the things you have to remember are around the house and you can just walk through and look at them. bitch i can't even imagine a house lol

[@juliadreamer8327]

"she might not be a terror she might not kill people" she already did omg

[@dis8791]

I mean... If someone dies in childbirth, I wouldn't blame the newborn child for killing them. No matter the surrounding circumstances. Sounds like Gloria didn't have much of a choice if she wanted to live.

[@alleymercuryway7777]

My conscience? Nah we haven’t talked in forever

[@Suzy24]

My dad and my aunt are twins, I’ve always been disappointed that I wasn’t born a twin. 😔

[@eucalyptus7585]

perfect timing. a video right before work

[@RoeBoats]

YAASSS i’ve been binging these lately and been dying for more ;~;
