Talk:No Eyes/@comment-39450267-20190513021342/@comment-44838363-20200111030049

It's a shame that the post is gone! The Reddit account was deleted as well. I did read the post before it poofed. I can't remember the ultra specifics, but I'll post the bit I know.

The original backstory was the same, but amped up. They directly referenced No Eyes physically tearing out her own eyes and urging/forcing others to do the same. It was the only way to keep them from "seeing what they should not". While No Eyes was doing this to protect her people, the original backstory made it seem as if there was doubt whether or not the eye-tearing was helpful or just a symptom of her madness.

It had a Lovecraftian / Bird Box feel to it. "Some things weren't meant for mortals to see" and all.

Team Cherry did a good job with toning it down without losing the essence. Sometimes alluding to something terrible is just as chilling as having it on stark display.
