I love it when creators make stories of peaceful, and possibly benevolent, entities that don't actually harm the protagonist. Rather, it's the protagonist who causes their own downfall in the pursuit of trying to uncover or antagonize the entities within the story. It's the root of cosmic horror, instead of the good vs evil most stories talk about. Very Lovecraftian in nature, which really fits the type of theme the video is aiming for.

This hits so much differently after ALCATRAZAPOCALYPSE. I remember when the common theory on this video was that the Cornerfolk and their Cornerworld were just harmless (if strange) entities, and it was all the human’s fault for plunging head first into something his non-corner body just couldn’t withstand. Now I just don’t know what to think. The bombshell that Alex is from the Deanverse, the knowledge that the Horned Serpent outright created the Cornerworld, the fact that the Cornerworld itself is the shattered remnants of an untold number of different realities… .. honestly, no wonder this guy went insane. I can only imagine what could happen to someone when exposed to the Horned Serpent Metastructure with no protection. Horrifying little multiverse you’ve established here, Alex. I’m all here for it.

I find it refreshing when an anomalous story, now and then, doesn’t have anomalous entities be evil in the exact same way known humans would be, or motivated to “harm” us, or even be particularly aware of what harm or injury to us would entail. They might be interested in something or other that we have, or harm us in the process of achieving some goal, but I think that they’re too often portrayed negatively humanized rather than different, possibly unknowable, going about their different, possibly unknowable business.

alright, as someone pointed out when "nursery" fades out we see "prison" and when "secure" fades out we get "trapped" this makes me think he got sucked into a prison where some of the nasty corner folk were, and the equivalent of prison guards saved him by geting him out of there. maybe origami is also a sort of prison to them due to the amount of corners are in it?

She acted like I was the best thing that could happen and I think I was in a spaceship living with her. I would forget about how ugly and scary I felt when she acted kind to me but then when I would get close to get some food or like share something with her she would act weird like push me away or escape a bit cuz well this thing is going around living with you. I think she is out her mind nowadays, I do not wish it to be though. In the whole fucking goddamn universe she is like stalking me and doing this things. Maybe like someone who controls or threatens this person is making her to be with me at the space ship for example. It is hard to know things about women. But whoever is doing this does not mean well to anybody. Its so goddamn ugly and scary

My thoughts:pretty good The Cornerfolk aren't inherently evil they are just kind of there, I like that the narrator is more of a threat to himself rather than the Cornerfolk. Side note:I like how the Cornerfolk possibly saved this guy because I dunno how he would've magically gotten out other wise, the Cornerfolk saved this guy, also a small theory of mine is that the Cornerfolk were once human, they look kinda fleshy and showed possible compassion by saving the dude

[@JohnGardnerAlhadis]

@@NineBulletRevolver That's part of the reason people think they see ghosts, especially in lowlight conditions like a room lit only by moonlight or a TV. Since the eyes aren't sending as much visual information to the brain (since it's dark), it also has a habit of "filling in the blanks" by making you see things that aren't there. You can confirm that for yourself by staring at your reflection in a bathroom mirror with the lights off.
