Cradle of Thought and Omen Archives

3/4/24, 1:02 AM

The Cradle of Thought and Omen is an organization dedicated to the successful documentation of Omens that have been overlooked or forgotten in the past. Omens, or paranormal events that have taken place on Earth, have caused quite a shift in recent years, unfortunately pointing to an increase in their presence. To make matters worse, a culmination of them has been discovered somewhere at this time. The organization’s goal is to gain and publish information so that they are closer to understanding and documenting what eludes them.

Hey There, It's Hickory

3/4/24, 12:08 AM

A few teens and young adults from an isolated little town have found their way to Tumblr. Now thrown headfirst into the deep end of the Internet, suddenly plagued with eerie nightmares about Wolves and ashes, and questioning everything they've ever known, it's just a matter of time before they dig up some dark secrets... What remains to be seen, though, is just how those secrets will change them.

Hailey's Encounters

11/10/23, 10:33 PM

Hailey moves into a new home, in a place called Sombre Oak. She feels like she should, even though she's not sure why. Moving somewhere isn't normally something strange, but for Hailey it's the very thing that starts an odd series of events. Because of this, she starts a blog, to talk about what's been happening to her (even though she's not totally sure herself.)

A Look Into Carroll Cove

11/10/23, 4:09 PM

This art project is a look into a small yet strange town filled with anomalies, where the paranormal happens on a day to day basis. However, no one seems to care, except for a librarian who is tasked to talk about the town's history for its 154th anniversary being hosted by the library. The project is akin to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and Gravity Falls. It is presented as a short daily vlog with episodes exploring a singular topic from different aspects of Carroll Cove which ultimately acts as a backstory to our vtuber lore and other projects we plan on making in the future centered around this town.

Rapid Eyes

10/24/23, 5:46 AM

"Rapid Eyes" is an unfiction series starring a currently unnamed uploader. A program has appeared on the uploader's computer, and cannot be deleted no matter what they do. Deciding to document the program through YouTube videos, they discover it is in fact a game upon opening it. As the uploader plays the game, there are many unexpected levels that seem to morph and change as it is played. Not only this, but the program seems to reach out beyond where it should and influence things it should not be able to. The series focuses on the uploader as they record, play, and experience Rapid Eyes. Viewers can expect a gripping, thrilling, and mysterious adventure as the horrors of the game are revealed.

The Hadrian Brothers

10/2/23, 8:34 PM

A tapestry of crimes and stories knot together to create an unapologetically complex mystery. Separating fact from fiction won’t be your only task as you weave your way through murders and disappearances all linked by a cult. The Hadrian Brothers are right in the middle of it, everything else is for you to decide.

Watch the gripping tale as told by a self-confessed professional liar. Then, follow Jennifer, a dedicated crime blogger turned investigator, as she carefully connects the dots. Beware, her obsession may plunge her right in the middle of it, too.
