History YMMV / NightMind

** In "How To Make A Web Series: The Yellow Path", Nick comes up with a terrifying tale as an example to recreate the feelings that ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'' evokes in the viewer, particularly how [[spoiler:Evan's DemonicPossession by HABIT and HABIT's subsequent killings of Jeff, Stephanie, and Evan and Stephanie's newborn baby still feels like being betrayed by a friend even though Evan isn't in control of himself]]. A family of six lives off the grid in Alaska, mainly by raising chickens, growing produce and hunting for game. The family consists of a mother and father, their two kids, and their two nephews. Their daughter Emily is the main character and an aspiring chef, and uses [=YouTube=] to connect to the outside world by posting cooking tutorials and vlogs. Aside from Emily's friend Nathan and his grandfather, the family is completely alone in an Alaskan forest. One day, one of the cousins claims that they found tracks in the forest that looked... Off. Then her father disappears on a hunting trip. Then one of the cousins. Then her mother. All the while Emily makes more cooking videos and less vlogs in an attempt to deal with the situation. After her mother disappears, Emily becomes paranoid that her remaining cousin is somehow behind it, and sets up cameras to catch him doing ''something.'' However, Emily hears her cousin in distress, and rushes to find broken glass and a puddle of blood, with him nowhere in sight. Emily grabs her little brother and heads to Nathan's, worried something may have happened to him. Nathan's fine, but his grandfather also disappeared, leading him to lock down the house to protect himself. The two move in with Nathan, but then her brother goes missing, having seemingly gone into the woods to look for everyone. Nathan and Emily spend the day searching for him before deciding to go to town to get help. A week passes before another video is suddenly uploaded, from someone that's not Emily. It shows Emily getting ready to go to town, and, upon finding a frying pan on her bed, heads downstairs to look for Nathan. She instead finds meat cooking in another frying pan, a meatloaf cooking in the oven, and her cousin's laptop on the table with a video player opened and a video ready to play. Emily apprehensively clicks the play button. [[spoiler:The video shows Nathan in Emily's kitchen, doing a parody of her cooking show. He gives an explanation on the proper way to prepare and store freshly killed game over footage of him stalking and abducting each of Emily's family members, "tenderizing" them with various weapons and torture tools, cutting up their meat, packing it, and storing it in Emily's freezer next to the game, which it looks indistinguishable from. After a comment about how "if you do it right, any amateur will be able to cook with it", clips from some of Emily's previous cooking videos are shown, specifically ones uploaded soon after one of her family members went missing, revealing to both the viewer and to Emily herself [[IAteWhat that she had been cooking and eating her own family without knowing it]]. Nathan then cracks a joke which makes someone offscreen laugh, and it sounds like Emily's remaining cousin, revealing that he was in fact helping Nathan all along. Another video is soon uploaded, showing Emily suffering the same fate as the rest of her family, pleading for mercy and begging them not to upload the video]]. Nick then calls himself a sick son of a bitch for thinking up this story on the spot.

It's then revealed that Nathan stalked her father and kidnapped him, tortured him, killed him, and grounded his body into meat, and, with the help of Emily's cousin, did the same to Emily's family, stuffing their meat into the freezer.

** Nick's friendship with Nyx Fears becomes this when the two had a ''massive'' falling out following Nyx confirming on a tumblr post that Nyx made her uncomfortable during her visit to see him, which ''was seen on a stream at that''. Nick has made it clear he regrets the decision, but most people (Nyx especially and the incredibly controversial Slimebeast) saw it more as Nick attempting to save face.

** Nick on January 30, 2018 [[https://twitter.com/NM_NickNocturne/status/958651634334208000 came out as bisexual]], and posted that he has a boyfriend. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny since he says he can't wait to see his boyfriend's reaction to seeing the announcement.

* MostWonderfulSound: Many fans find Nick's voice to be ''very'' calming to listen to, with some viewers admitting they watch his videos primarily to hear him speak. To their credit, it's probably exactly the voice you'd want to hear if you were to go into great detail regarding NightmareFuel.

** During a livestream chat about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9xow5TFnoc The Cry of Mann]], Nick mentions that he had to walk out of seeing the movie ''[[Film/Mother2017 mother!]]'' due to the climax being so intense that it gave him a panic attack. It quickly becomes a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when his fellow chatters say that it's healthy to know your limits when watching movies.

* HarsherInHindsight: Nick's complete genuine love and praise of Music/{{Poppy}} becomes this when he later on reiterated on Twitter that he was denouncing his support of Poppy and Titanic Sinclair following the lawsuit between Sinclair's old partner/ex girlfriend Mars Argo, who revealed that not only did Sinclair and Poppy steal ideas planned for Mars, but that Sinclair had psychologically and emotionally abused her.

** The latter half of ''WebVideo/MyDadsTapes also earns quite a bit of snark from him, done almost entirely wordlessly through editing.

* MemeticMutation: "That's a damn good margarita." [[note]] During his analysis of My Dad's Tapes, Nick had trouble containing his amusement and sarcasm when the protagonist and the serial killer sat down together for strawberry margaritas. Since then it has become a running joke with his fans. [[/note]]

** His thoughts on the later parts of ''My Dad's Tapes''. Early on he felt it was derivative yet intriguing enough to keep going. But when "donotcontinue" revealed himself, the series became laughable.

** While he thinks ''The Human Pet'' is largely solid with a legitimately intriguing plot line, he considers the last upload to be this on account of pulling out [[ClicheStorm several cliches]] in one video, namely [[spoiler:a CreepyChild who laughs evilly during an poorly set-up {{Jumpscare}}.]] He even seems to consider it a [[JumpingTheShark shark-jump moment]], which isn't helped by the fact that [[OrphanedSeries the series likely won't be updated soon]].

Nick has made it clear he regrets the decision, but most people (Nyx especially) don't approve how he hadn't fully apologized for the situation either.

** Nick's falling out with Nyx Fears. The two were arguably good friends especially when they collabed twice and especially when Nyx went out to see him, but their friendship ended ''hard'' when Nick did something that made Nyx incredibly uncomfortable. What's worse is ''it was on a livestream'', which everyone saw as a joke and not something that made Nyx uncomfortable. While Nick has attempted to apologize for the situation, most people (Nyx especially) feel he didn't try enough.

* GrowingTheBeard: He feels the ''Welcome to Night Vale'' novel was where the series got good.

* HarsherInHindsight: While Nick had most likely given Poppy a Code:Meatsleep status due to her fanbase, it later coming to light that [[https://www.tmz.com/2018/04/17/youtube-legal-feud-titanic-sinclair-mars-argo-thatpoppy/ Mars Argo filed a lawsuit against Titanic Sinclair and Poppy for ripping her off]] (among other things) ends up making it very good that he did it when he did.

* HarsherInHindsight: We finally found out the reason for That Poppy being given "Code: Meatsleep" status: [[spoiler:Mars Argo [[https://www.theverge.com/.../youtube-mars-argo-poppy-creator-lawsuit-abuse-ripoff suing Titanic Sinclair and That Poppy for stealing her idea and performing emotional abuse]].

** In "How To Make A Web Series: The Yellow Path", Nick comes up with a terrifying tale as an example to recreate the feelings that ''WebVideo/EverymanHybrid'' evokes in the viewer. In Alaska, an aspiring chef named Emily shows off her cooking using [=YouTube=] while a creepy cousin hangs out with her friend Nate. Emily's family lives off the grid, mainly by raising chickens, growing produce and hunting for game. [[spoiler:The cousin claims that there's a strange beast in the woods, and Emily's family members start disappearing one by one. Emily while making more cooking videos to deal with the stress gets suspicious of her cousin, who was with her mother when the latter disappeared. Despite her setting up surveillance cameras to catch him in the act of doing ''something,'', she only comes across a puddle of blood and broken glass. Eventually Emily, her younger brother, and Nate are left so she drives her remaining family to Nate's house. When she wakes up the next morning in the guest room, she finds a frying pan on her bed and a note. Then she sees ground meat roasting on the stove, and meatloaf in the oven. Her cousin's laptop is open, and she clicks on it. A series of video reveal Nate and her cousin tracking and hunting her parents, and grabbing her brother while the latter was sleeping the night before. Nate calmly talks about how to prepare meat for a good meal. Emily starts screaming as she hears her cousin laughing in the real world. Nate and her cousin had beaten up, tortured, killed and chopped up her family. Probably Emily gets eaten up next when she tries to fight back.]] It's lampshaded when Nick calls himself a sick son of a bitch for thinking of this story on the spot.
