You would think that a multi-media creator in his mid-20s would have a few scares here and there... and you'd be very very right.

    open/close all folders 

    General 
  • When he gets angry, it can be downright intimidating. Considering his desire to avoid this wherever possible(including cutting streams short when he realizes he's getting angry), he's clearly aware of this.

    Gaming Videos 
  • His play-through of Lost in Vivo, especially the first part. The ghost girl in the subway system gave him a nasty jumpscare, and prior to that he called a friend for brief emotional support.

    Music 
  • His Godzilla: Replay soundtrack is mostly Awesome Music, but a few tracks are downright chilling, standouts being GELID, WARLOCK and DEPTH, all for having extremely eerie tones and ambience.
  • He's done a few fanmade Friday Night Funkin' songs... and some of them bode poorly for the game's protagonists. For example, his Iron Lung song, Abyss, features Boyfriend piloting the eponymous submarine, includes a chilling verse by the game's undersea monster, and ends with a reenactment of the game's ending, complete with Boyfriend screaming in fear as the monster tears into the ship.
  • Traitor, a crossover with Mandela Catalogue, isn't much better, featuring Girlfriend facing off with the devil himself as he aims to punish her for 'going off script' as the video description describes it. A reply by Royal himself on a comment all but states it won't end well for the poor girl.
  • The sequel to Traitor, Gift Except Boyfriend and Girlfriend Sing It, is worse due to the fact that the original song is based around Mark's last moments in the Mandela Catalogue. The implication is that either an Alternate has replaced Girlfriend and is attempting to kill Boyfriend, or Girlfriend IS the Alternate and she's just showing her true colors. Either way, based on the video description, it ends about as well as you'd expect.
    Description: "Bad decision, Boyfriend...~"
    • It gets worse somehow. Look at Alternate!Girlfriend right before Boyfriend takes the shot; she's looking at the goddamn camera.
    • Alternate!Girlfriend herself is rather creepy; a pitch-black titan of a woman with long clawed fingers that has to bend her knees just to fit into the room. A YouTube community post shows her full size, and good lord, does the video art not do her justice on this front.
  • Royal Robbie has recently been doing his own versions of songs from Vs Sonic.exe, featuring variations on his mascot/sona, and so far they've been, fittingly, terrifying.
    • BOW BEFORE ME, his take on Too Slow, starts off disturbingly serene, but like its inspiration, quickly becomes much more frantic and fast paced. Of note is the muted colors of the impostor, and the way his eyes and mouth are just... empty. And then there's his voice, which sounds downright monstrous in comparison to Robbie himself, especially when he taunts Boyfriend and laughs in his face.
    • CHAOS UNENDING is his take on You Can't Run, sounding more industrial in tone, and like Xenophanes before him the fake Robbie starts to mutate. However, his mutations lean much harder into Body Horror, making him look more like EXE's true form. And unlike Xenophanes, instead of ending the song in rage, he just... laughs.
    • ATAXIA comes next, and as a take on Cycles, it's just downright unnerving. The Lord X standin, named Master R, looks downright monstrous, the ground has body parts resembling him poking out of it, and in the background is what looks like a black hole looming over everything. And of course, the song itself is every bit as ominous and eerie as Cycles itself, to tie it all together.
      • The description doesn't make things any better either, implying Master R isn't actually an alternative version of his mascot, but rather an obsessive imitator, which brings to mind the downright lovely image of something that tall and twisted being obsessed with you and trying to replicate you. Sweet dreams!
