I understand it's customary to celebrate any attempt at originality in this cesspool of a website, but I have no idea why this is so highly praised.

Scattering quirky neologisms around your story doesn't give it a personality. The phrase "like a banshee that had stepped on a Lego" was perhaps more offensive than any line in Jeff the Killer or any of the other garbage fandom-bait creepypasta because it reeks of an author desperately trying to say 'I don't take myself seriously lol'. I understand that's your intention in writing this but it's a horribly overdone trope, something that should have been outgrown and thrown out of popular culture days after it was conceived.

It makes your story feel cheap, plastic, and insincere. It felt like I was reading the script to a Marvel Movie. If this is some triumphant return of creepypasta as a medium, it has a long way to go before anybody will take creepypasta authors seriously as writers.
