This ain't no simple creepypasta. This is just a depressingly realistic story.

*Begins video.* "Ah yeah, ready to be scared!" He says to himself. *Ends video.* "I said scared! Not sad!" He says through his tears.

No damn way. I am the author of this story, and this is amazing. I am literally so grateful for this. Thank you so much!

Man: _starts driving_ Me: "Your son.. SIR. YOUR SON. *YOUR SON IS BY HIMSELF AT HOME.* "

“She’s so proud of her *beautiful baby boy* “ *(PTSD from A Mother’s Love CreepyDrawsta)*

The "thing" symbolized his guilt from surviving the crash and his repressed feelings due to acting "strong" in front of his son. By hugging the "thing", he was finally able to accept the reality that he was the only survivor and that his family is dead. The "thing" was mimicking his actions, as an effort to make him wake up. This was such a sad creepypasta! I loved it though!

"a boy is meant to see his father as a superhero, a man who could get through anything." the most important part of "getting through anything" is showing your children the _process._ if your child only sees the ending, they won't know how to handle the middle. be human! share your worries, your failures, your doubts! and show how you can succeed despite them. of course there's a balance between showing your flaws vs. treating your child like a therapist. but y'know. that's life. balance.

I like how lavendertowne never uses boring or not scary creepypastas. They always give me the creeps. Edit: Holy 2k likes that's a lot for just stating facts!

Me thinking logically: "You just lost your friend in a car crash and you're very sensitive to scary stories, you should not be watching this" My lack of self control: "lmfao halloween storytime go brrrr >:D" edit: thank you for the kind comments, I promise to watch myself as I watch this video and take breaks when needed

people drawing while narrating a creepypasta is one of my new favorite things lol

This isn't scary, this is sad and strangely heartwarming I'm not complaining though

This didn't scare me, it just made me d e e p l y sad.

"I hope your somewhere cozy and safe" Meanwhile my cat trying to jump over my leg then rolling around on the floor...very "cozy"

God this had me bawling more than shitting my pants. This was depressing but really well written and your drawings made this so much better and gave even more feeling to this

why did I think when he attacked the monster he accidentally attacked his son and ended up loosing him too like why is my mind so depressing literally let me enjoy my somewhat happy ending

"The accident wasn't your fault, you have to let go", but make it depressingly realistic

me: excpecting something spooky me now: depressed and about to cry

I'm glad the dad stayed strong for his kiddo after everything, and I'm happy he didn't turn abusive after that

Perfect after my driver's ed class.

Story: "She's so proud of her beatiful baby boy!" Me: Vivid Flashbacks

I read the title and my immediate thought was like “the scary thing is the depressing thing, isn’t it” And I was right, I’m sad now-

Damn bro this made me wanna cry so many times, I love how she gives subtle emotions through the story as well as the music and sound effects. I’m listening to this while I’m drawing so it made a really nice ambiance for Halloween

Him hallucinating really brings me back to when my mum passed away and I still felt like she would walk in the room at any moment, like damnnn so realistic and well written

I’ve been in a very Creepypasta mood all this month probably gonna extend to next month

This is a CryingPasta, I am balling over here. ALL I WANTED WAS SWEET BABY ANGEL SHAWN TO BE OK, I DIDNT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTER, I JUST WANTED SHAWN TO BE OK 😭😭😭

The fact this is so real, like every second of it can be a real story cus it happens in real life.... Wow the author is such a phenomenal writer

When she said “beautiful baby boy” I got chills

When I lost my first family who really mattered to me, I constantly had dreams of them both coming back to life, even if I knew it was just one day. For some reason, in my darkest times, my dreams are exceptionally sweet. Also: "I knew I couldn't avoid driving forever." Not me, bro. I would rather buy an entire horse, and buy it food and a bigass yard. I'm already terrified of cars, I'm not dancing with the devil _twice,_ it's Yeehaw Time. If I can't work because of my not having a car? I don't care, I'll revert to a hunter gatherer. Fuuuuuuck cars, this is my worst nightmare.

This is the most beautiful and realistic creepypasta I've ever heard.

I like to think of this story as a story of grief edit: The blurred man with the appearance of the narrator is grief. I find it interesting that the narrator first tries killing the being but soon after hugs it when he comes to terms with his family's death. When it's being attacked it doesn't resist, in fact it only seems to hurt the narrator more than the being. Grief isn't something you can overpower or kill. You have to live through it no matter how up or down it is.

“I hope you’re somewhere cozy and safe” *Me in a pile of candy wrappers in the middle of the night*yeah definitely“cozy”

Creepydrawsta on Halloween!!!!! Absolute perfection 🎃🎃🎃

these help me recover from sensory overload so much. i am autistic and need to listen to something calming to speed up recovery from sensory overload or to prevent it and i just wanted to express my gratitude for the effort you put in to these videos because I appreciate them.

This is such a bittersweet story, i feel bad for mc but its done so beautifully. Captures the emotions and grief of the characters, very well done!

"i hope your somewhere cozy and safe" Me downing a pumpkin pie: sure we'll go with that

Every night Father fills me with dread when he sits at the foot of my bed. I'd not mind that he speaks in gibbers and squeaks, but for seventeen years he's been dead.

can we talk abt how good the writing is?? the drawings accompanying the story really bring it to life

This is so sad..but a good representation of the struggles of trauma and getting over said trauma; to get over a traumatic event you must first recognize it, handle it, and embrace it..hiding from it won't fix it.

These are the highlights of my day : ) I love creepydrawsta's

Im actually sobbing. this story is so painfully realistic that it immerses the reader fully. You can vividly feel the emotion the narrator conveys and you did such a good job with your illustrations conveying those emotions. Amazing job on the illustrations, and if the author ever sees this, awesome job on creating a story that is just so good. its amazingly well written

Listening to this story was just so sad and the more you listen to the story the more you realize that the writer is going through his stages of grief trying to cope with the lost of his wife and son. I like how this story you can tell the writer is going through all the stages of grief from the lose of his family. Here's my take on the story, sorry it gets long. Denial as shown with his son and with that happened at the funeral with his wife. He moment he felt fear was him fearing of the reality of what happened to his family. Blame, later in the story when Sean says "I forgive you Papa" is hinting how the writer blames himself for the death of his own family. Anger, when he attacked the entity that was in front of him the moment he made contact. Bargaining, trying to make himself believe his son is alive and not dead when he asks Sean to talk to him. Depression, we can tell that the death of his family has him so depressed and it's to the point where he barely interacts with everyone around him even at the funeral of his wife. Finally acceptance, when he finally realizes that the crash wasn't his fault and finally forgives himself. At this stage he finally accepts the reality that both his son and wife are watching over him.

most of the stuff (if not all) in this is genuinly just ptsd/some sort of trauma response symptoms lol quite a unique creepy pasta /gen

This makes me realize how lucky I am. My family has been in car crashes and nobody has died luckily. Seeing this makes me think of what could have happened. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

The way it became a story of forgiving oneself and trauma…enjoyable esp with your art

I thought this was gonna be some spoopy unrealistic story that I could leave thinking that it was a cool scary story. Instead I am sobbing at a story of confusing grief thanks

These are literally my favorites

I've already read this one, love your illustrations for this story!💜

The voice acting is getting better 😍

YAY SHE HAS GIFTED US A TREAT ON HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Your voice is so calming but so chilling when you’re reading these… I love it! ❤️

Am I the only one who got PTSD when she said.. "my beautiful baby boy"...

The story: ‘the son has been through so much’ Man: *drives away and leaves son at the house* Me: ARE YOU KIDDING ME-

God rewatching this after you know the ending/truth of the accident makes it so much more heartbreaking. Knowing why Shawn/Séan wasn’t talking just hurts Mad props to the writer, the suspense and foreshadowing is very well done!!

I was so close to losing my father two years ago to an accident much like the one this story mentions... The author really captures the feelings u usally have on this kind of accidents snd w the drawings is really interesting. My father is fine now! He is deaf in one ear and has little memory problems, but he's fine !

“I hope you’re somewhere cozy and safe” Me, chilling in the break room on my lunch: sure ok

this story was so well written its insane

As a person that gets worried easily, I am always even when walking up and down on stairs so that nothing happens and I don't get to say goodbye to my loved ones. I haven't experienced such an incident but I can see how hard it is to accept what you have done and move on. Fighting with your inner self is the most difficult battle to win, and this story didn't scare me, instead brought tears to my eyes. The way LavenderTowne reads each story makes it so vivid in your head and with the drawings on the whole it is quite an experience I wish everyone who has experienced something similar or something traumatic to find their inner peace

Your voice is relaxing even when your telling something creepy

Aaaahh I love how you used a gray background this time, I usually like watching these in the dark and this was much easier on the eyes than a white canvas :)

I was expecting to be crying because of fear after this but, I’m legit just crying because of how sad this story is

Can't wait to be spooked while watching you make beautiful art!

This actually made me cry- like not even just tearing up but legit tears falling down my face. I've never experienced something quite like this, but for some reason it hit REAL hard. Amazing art and amazing telling of an amazing story!

I love this series so much, I check every day to see if there's a new one, really excited to watch this

Y’all when he started to beat up the thing it was so so worried that he was hallucinating and that he was beating up his son

Lavender's version of the dad is so handsome, not like creepy or anything, he's a genuinely handsome guy

this is the best sad story i have ever read. creepy as well, but also so depressing and beautiful. it was masterfully written. it really grabbed my heart and tore it to shreds but like in a good way. such grief, pain, sorrow... i almost cried

I’m really late but: This made me cry so much. I have never lost someone this way or experienced a car crash but as someone with PTSD there comes periods of denial that it happened, the “your being over dramatic” which seems very similar to his denial that he had also lost his son. Sometimes I will get a flashback randomly, or a third person experience, where the world zooms out and you can see your face and sometimes I think that maybe it was my fault that everything happened and maybe it would be good for me to just take that image of myself and destroy it, like how he did in the video. The story shows the denial, the anger (at himself), the bargaining, the pure depression and inability to eat and the final acceptance. It shows how grief is sad but it can also be scary and a pure mess. I loved the art and the terrifying reality of mourning shown in the story.

YESSS I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS MAKE MORE OF THEASE I LOVE THEM I'VE REWATCHED THE OLD ONES SO MANY TIMES

I always find your voice so comforting but it also gives me creeps

I'm really good at amazing things so this creepy pasta makes me sad, becuaseseeing how you see the characters and my imaginative mind made me really sad. Just seeing such a sad man loode loved ones. It hurts my soul.

Your shorts have helped me so much with drawing my animations, thank you!!

Why would you leave Seán alone after all of that? 😭 I’d be camping out on my child’s bedroom floor for the next 5 years or until they left for college.

THESE ARE SO SPOOKY AND AWESOME

I love her art style

Your voice is so beautiful and calming that I wish I could have you read my book (when I finally publish it) for the audiobook. You are so talented! Not just in art, but also in reading aloud!

Wait, no- I was going on this binge for horror, not depression T.T I'm crying now

Are you sure this isn't just a creepypasta? It's so deep. I loved it! It's all about getting over a death

Yes! I love these. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into those!

THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!!

I was searching up your creepydrawsta videos, and this happened to come up! I've never been early like this before. :D

These give me so much life, whether it’s spooky season or not. Thank you so much for doing this

i love these videos so much because I have aphantasia and cant visualize things in my head so its super fun to see creepypastas and other stories as if it were a movie or comic

I love ur little wheelchair spin animation at the end, it’s so cute and makes me feel a lot less anxiety from the story. 😊

I'm listening to this while I play modded minecraft, and the sounds of off-key guitar notes randomly playing from villagers using noteblocks is greatly adding to the uneasy atmosphere, so much so that I thought it was part of the video

Okay… this gave me literal chills. Mixed with unsettling illustrations I had to pause for a sec. bravo

Beautiful art and a spooky story for Halloween! ❤️

✨Let's just talk about how Lavender's voice is the best for reading Creepypastas, it's quiet but kinda unsettling for stories like this. This is why I love her voice when she does creepy things✨

I absolutely LOVE these drawing+reading creepypasta videos. I hope this isn't just a spooktober thing, and more of these vids will be released from time to time😃

I’ve been watching these for almost 5 years, I always look forward to the art and your voice! (Sorry if it sounds weird)

Your voice is calming, I mean it’s perfect for telling stories :)

Your voice is so calming, I always watch your videos when I'm stressed and I'm always calm whenever I watch your videos

I hope you make more of theses. I absolutely love them. I just spent the past like two days binging all of your creepy past illustrations. They are amazing and you do great with using your voice to add more creepy factors.

lavendertowne just gives me cottaegcore vibes 😌✨✨

I love this channel sm your content is just amazing! Thank you for putting time and effort in them

HER VOICE ACTING IS LITERALLY-

The writing of this is beautiful, and you captured it so well in your art. I'll admit, I'm crying right now. This was amazing.

Despite how sad and depressing this story is, the ending was cathartic and uplifting. Very well-written, well-narrated, and well-illustrated 👍

“I hope you’re somewhere safe” me sitting in front of my space heater sucking a lollipop: yep pretty safe tehe

i love this series so much it’s probably one of my favorite series ever on youtube literally every halloween i check your channel just to see these videos my favorites are definitely turn it off and the showers so far

Broooooo this actually made me cry- this was so sad, but I liked it… amazing as ever
