    I personally like the “dead dad” ending. Because he would have been SO CLOSE to being able to at least START making it up to his daughter, and yet, he’d never be able to. So close, yet always out of reach. And Daisy just stepping over/on his corpse? Perfection.

      I know this is a two year old comment, but I wanted to second this comment, I too prefer the Dead Dad ending! The idea that he came so close to beginning to make things right but fell victim to the very things he created during his mistreatment feels like a sad but somewhat satisfying ending? In the end he was a monster, and his monstrosity consumed him, just in a very literal sense with his creations killing him. Maybe he did want to make it up to Daisy, but in the end he still had to answer for what he did, and it resulted in his death.

    I always thought Curtis Brown left daisy because he knew he was a terrible person, and father. Now that I know the 2 Canonical endings, I believe he was killed in the basement by one of his creations. It's a sad ending, but it makes the most sense to me. What makes it even sadder is when Daisy has a breakdown, wondering why he left her, because he didn't leave her. His remains are still in the basement.

    Oh man, I didn’t know this video existed.
    Daisy Brown is art, by definition. It’s an expression of pure, unrestrained, raw emotion, and it absolutely shows. Even rewatching it now, that is more than apparent. It’s uncomfortable, it’s real, it’s terrifying, and it’s awe inspiring. I could ramble on, but there’s only so many ways to say thank you. Daisy Brown is one of my favorite internet horror stories, and it’s an inspiration to us growing content creators to step it up a notch.

    I'm 52 yrs old, I've been into ARGs since I played the Blair Witch one as it was happening in real time.
    Daisy Brown touched me like very few things ever have in my life. ❤️
    It came at the perfect time for me (my extremely absent, abusive, talented Dad had just died after a horrible illness & sucking me back into contact with him after many yrs of staying the hell away for my own mental health)
    The story gave me feels like I can't describe.

      @dormie basne
      exactly!! I used to watch the (pretty well known) ghost cam in a library & one that a girl had set up in her (IIRC) NYC apartment w cams in a couple old trunks & inside the platform her bed was set up on bc those places seemed to have the most activity. I don't think I ever rly saw anything but OMG was it scary & so much fun to not know what would possibly happen!!
      The Blair Witch site was so incredibly interactive, it was CRAZY!! I don't think any of us who played had ever experienced anything like that before.
      Once the guys realized we were obsessively combing thru EVERYTHING, they started doing stuff like adding messages into the HTML (common now but back then, it was mind blowing!!)& making the ARG story as we went along. We knew it wasn't 'real' but it was so much fun & genuinely creepy.
      I made an 'ate my balls' fan page (LOL it was a thing back then)
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ate_my_balls
      with all the names of the producers/cast/directors & they sent me an autographed poster!!
      Daisy Brown tho hmmmm idk how to explain it exactly. So many of the first videos were stuff I watched anyway like succulent plant videos, cooking tutorials, nail art, cosmetics videos & when I looked at her subscriptions, I subbed to many of the same channels she did so getting sucked in was EASY for me, not to mention the incredibly compelling story she was weaving little by little. I've messed around with many ARGs (the AI movie one was probably the biggest bc I missed out on the Batman one where they sent ppl stuff like cakes with phones in them & crazy shit like that) but Daisy's story touched me like nothing else ever has & I'm a huge media consumer: books, movies, music, magazines, internet. Literally only one other thing has ever done that for me: the book CRUDDY by Lynda Barry. If u can find it, I can't rec it highly enough. It's amazing!!!
      There were a few times where I legit wondered if Daisy was a real person with a severe mental illness & was making these videos bc she truly thought Alan was real or what. Jules acting was EFFORTLESS & so genuine, you couldn't help yourself getting wrapped up in it.
      (Also, bc I'm hard of hearing, I was watching w the CC on from the beginning so I was getting that other level of the story right off the bat. I think that might have helped with the immersion)
      I know I was particularly emotionally vulnerable at the time but I've watched the whole series again several times & there's so much you can get from it on so many levels. It speaks to so many issues in such a real way.
      I was afraid for a while that it would end with Daisy committing suicide & I think my heart would have broken if that happened. I'm so glad it didn't.
      I could talk about the series all day but I should go do my dishes lol.
      Jules, if u read this, I'm not a crazy fan, just a crazy fan LOL. & Thank you again. Yr artwork helped me thru a very shitty time in my life💚👾💚

Regardless of rate or improvement over time or the capacity to carry over other skills which are still factors in talent, the necessary time investment itself is part of what makes feats of skills impressive.

    i honestly think your "sad" ending for the father is better than what i concluded, which was that he committed suicide from being so overwhelmed at not being able to create his wife and instead these horrific monsters, and left the tape there as a suicide note. he didnt want to completely leave her, so he left part of his dna in alan as a "rebirth" to be better to her, which obviously didnt work.
    if i had to choose i would go with him being killed by his monsters rather than him leaving, but i'm sticking to my version because it makes me understand the narrative that i see better.
    i loved alan's death though, there's something funny about thinking about him exploding

    Last night my friend watched dhmis (Dont hug me, I’m scared) for the first time and I watched it with them even though I watched it a lot of times and love it
    They loved it too and after we talked about theories they asked “what if we made a series too?” And immeadiatly I was on board, I don’t want this series to be a ripoff of dhmis, or daisy brown, I want it to be something original, disturbing and inspiring to others, even if 1 person sees it (that is if this even becomes anything, it’s only been a day and I’m started to think of story ideas)

    I discovered daisy brown when I was fairly young, i had always loves creepy and macabre themes and imagery (my favorite author has always shifted between lovecraft and edgar allen poe since I was probably younger than 8?). I think i found your series through Night Mind's video on it in 2018 and had always felt a sort of connection to it. I had always knew to some extent that myself and my family werent exactly normal, and while im happy to say that its better than the majority; I had to grow up pretty fast, looking back I wish i had more time to just be a child.
    When I found Daisy Brown i believe I had been diagnosed with depression for about 3 years despite only being 11-10 years old. At the time I was coming to terms with the fact I would never be a normal kid without really knowing what that even meant.
    Daisy Brown helped me feel like I wasn't alone. I'm not even sure how. But i remember seeing it and despite being a little scared of the creature designs, I remember relating to Daisy in a way I don't think I could ever concisely describe.
    I've never been good at conclusions or goodbyes, so I wanted to Thank you; Thank you for creating this beautiful and touching piece of horror media; Thank you for being Daisy Brown, and Thank you for helping me feel a little less alone.

    The monsters we create inside our own head ,the haunt ourselves , specially at night like sleep paralysis and self doubt
    The depression the we refuse to accept that is there , or choose to live with but not fight it , the depression that sucks all the life from our life .
