      Seriously it defeats the purpose of being two sentence horror if both “sentences” are just a full paragraph with no punctuation.

    There’s a little tiny nugget of an interesting horror idea here, maybe reflecting the artificiality of suburban American dream nuclear family life, maybe that it’s all a lie and the people you love and count on could abandon you any second, but it was done in the most awkward way - and tying kink is just weird lol. I don’t think anyone could do a 24/7 dynamic and then just… walk away lol

      This is the real horror. Making it about kink aside, this gave me flashbacks of being unable to explain ideas as a child.

        Yeah this screams teenager with decent imagination and a critical eye towards social constructs, but hasn’t developed the skills to express those in a smooth, articulate manner.

      And it’s been done better years ago in a song as well. The lines “And you may say to yourself this is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!” From Once In A Lifetime is basically that, but good.

    Two sentence horror is always garbage. Its always a run on sentence with bad punctuation that overexplains bullshit and then “but baby ded”

      Lmao I’ve been missing these amateur translators. It was always fun to see their notes scrabbled in the margins of manga as well.

          modern manga fan scanlators have found a really nice medium of putting the translation notes in the afterword and only really for major things like cultural differences. i really like how they handle it.

    Two sentence horror, especially the construct of the subreddit, is that of a setup and punchline. A joke. The title is first given, setting up a tension, and then when you click on it, it releases the tension with one sentence. A punchline.
