"Big boss murder floof" PLEASE I'M DEAD AHAHAHHAHAAA-

Two things I would buy from VAs in a heartbeat:

STICKERS. And I already have, also planning to get more after this semester's finished as a lil gift to myself (I have a bunch of Obi's stickers saved on my wishlist aaaaaaa)

A book or a novel from them- I know a few of them mentioned in some past streams that they had a manuscript or a novel they were working on and that inspired some of their work. I don't know if they'll finish it or if the idea's been scrapped, but I would absolutely buy a copy if they ever published something. (books have been one of my true loves since childhood, it'd be a neat addition to my library XD)

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt 4.

Good Boy Audios:

"Was it really yours? Or was it something that I forced upon you? Did I make your kind adopt a form of civilization that just imitates my own? At this point, I don't even know anymore." (The Fourseen, Series Finale)

"Why did Kinder betray us? Why? [...] I thought Kinder was my friend... I thought I finally had ONE FRIEND! [...] And what about you?! Why can't you listen to me?! [...] I thought you trusted me! I thought I was the leader! [...] Then explain yourself, Mirrin! Explain to me why we're HERE instead of the camp! [...] You don't know?! You don't know... [...] Yeah! Well- doesn't matter now does it!" (Magic of the Heart: Part 19- A Man Is Made)

"You're so perfect... you know that? What? What do you mean you're not? How can someone who fought through lands filled with undead hordes and vampires made from the blood of demigods all not to kill me, but to save me, be considered anything less than perfect? Darling, look at me. I don't deserve you. And yet- here you are. Telling me you're not perfect. How dare you. How could you think so little of yourself?" (Magic of the Heart: Part 21- Strength)

"You can't help everyone, Captain. And if you try to, you won't be able to help yourself." (Space Pirates Part Two: Pirate from Another World)

Scythe Audio

"You're not gonna let me spiral? Stay here in the moment with ya? What if I did spiral, Cheeks? What if I did fall down the hole? Would- would you pull me up? You'd fall with me if you had to? [...] But seriously, Cheeks. You've done so fucking well this year. Do not let me drag you down, yeah? I'm losing myself more nowadays, I don't wanna hurt any of you lot. I made the sacrifices necessary to kill the Atrocity, but it's all for nothing if I end up hurting the people that I fought to protect." (A New Blade Arc: Chapter 2)

First ~ Previous ~ Next

Hey, hi, hello my lovelies-

TO MY CHEEKY-FLAVORED GREMLIN BRETHREN, HOW Y'ALL FEELING-

For me, V's one of the Scythe characters that I would like to be friendly with (if he'd trust me enough at least lol). Damn, I wanted to reassure him so many freaking times... glad Cheeky was there though. Also quite frankly, I'm scared for him, after realizing what exactly Dark was going through, I'm hoping they'll be able to help V figure this out- and that V will actually LET them help him.

Speaking of Cheekyyyyyy... love the dynamic and banter they had in this audio. She's grown a lot in more ways than one (V's rubbing off on me, shut up mind-), and I'm glad to see she's more confident now.

L, my pikachu QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEN I missed youuuu. And Wilder, hi Wilder, hello- BUT ESCAPED WHAT WAS THAT FOURTH WALL BREAK BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA GORGEOUS-

LADY AKASHA WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WHY DID YOU INTERRUPT THE LORE DROP, I'VE BEEN STARVING FOR MORE LORE-

Bro, you're actually going to leave me hanging with this freaking lore- *kicks chair over* I'M STARVING HERE, FEED MEEEEEEE-

VOID WRAITH VOID WRAITH VOID WRAITH YOU MF I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE-

Oh. Okay then. Oh so we're going to reference the Reddening. We got a Maverick. We are actually going to reference their deaths in Reddening, you know what, Reaper, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH- OH SO WE'RE PLAYING MUSIC NOW ARE WE YOU FREAKING GODDAMMIT DON'T DO THIS TO ME-

*inhales, rakes hand through hair* Yep, that was amazing, we're so freaking back.

Okay I've readjusted my rankings:

Made me tear up and take some deep breaths: ZsakuVA, Nora ASMR

Made me ugly sob for two or more minutes: Escaped Audios, Scythe Audio, Good Boy Audios

The comfort VAs: Mage Bunkshelf, Capital M Audios, Fern VA, Obsidian Lantern

However I think Mage has the power to leave the comfort ranking and quickly join one of the other two categories- they have power, I can sense it-

Final conclusion, be wary of anyone with "audio" in their username-

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SCYTHE GOT A BRAND NEW LOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-

LAURENCREATES ABSOLUTELY KILLED THIS DESIGN- AND WE HAVE THE SHMOO (ALL HAIL THE SHMOO)

KYA I'M SO EXCITEDDDD

*also pulling out conspiracy board for Demon Hunter, because by CHAOS, I WILL FIND OUT ABOUT BARD'S LORE DANG IT-*

Edit cuz I just realized I forgot to check the homepage RAAAAAAAAGH-

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-

Tomorrow

Headcanon: *giant, scary Reaper of Creation* Canon: *is a teddybear -w-*

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt. 2

Scythe Audio

"Think of a time when you achieved something that made you proud... think of that moment when you told someone that you looked up to, and their face lit up with joy. Or when you smiled to yourself with a feeling of fulfillment because of all the work you put into something. Think of it... what was it? Yes, child, you see? That head on your shoulders possesses one brilliant mind indeed. I'm proud of you for what you have achieved. Don't compare it to anyone else. Your success is yours. Revel in it." (Comforted by the God of recovery)

"What I have created, what I have been through- you think silly thoughts and paranoia would stop me? I'm not going anywhere, because there are still people out there who enjoy my work. There are still people out there that make art of my creations [...] I still have people saying how much of an inspiration I can be to them [...] and how my work has gotten them through tough times. [...] There is one thing I do have, and that's the loyalty and love of the beautiful and brilliant fucking niche community who are just as wacky and weird as I am! And that's just the way I like it. [...] If my work makes one of my wacky family smile, then I've achieved my goal." (The Reddening 6)

"Twinkle? It's been an honor to share a bit of time with one of my favorite listener characters. You are truly wonderful, and it brings me so much joy to know how loving and caring you are, despite the endless shit that you've had to endure- kinda like my audience! It won't get any better for a while, but I promise you one thing- you don't get any colder as a result. Your heart stays warm. It is in fact your warmth and kindness that will save you... and save us all. Goodbye, Twinkle." (The Reddening 6)

REAPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Stockpiling audios....

sooooooon....

*looks at notes*

*looks at Mitch and JayJay*

No, I don't have a type when it comes to favorite characters, what do you mean-

"We now call to the stand Saku, Escaped, and Scythe, is this y'all?"

“Why do you write so much angst?” Because happiness is temporary, but emotional devastation is forever.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MY BELOVEDSSSSSSSSSSSS

agent boob 😜 and the shady dickhead ⛓️🔥

The Shifters

Drawing of my sona with my favorite VAs in the ASMR/audio roleplay community (with and without color filter)... original reference below.

(Also sorry for any and all inaccuracies ya'll TwT)

And random thoughts as always-

I feel like Escaped's and Scythe's sonas would be the biggest... like Escaped is lorge but Scythe is an absolute TANK-

"We must make Saku look majestic and kingly-"

"How the heck do you draw a turtleneck-"

*endless scrolling through Youtube communities, old tweets, and tumblr posts for drawing references of them*

"HOW THE HECK DO YOU DRAW A SHIRT COLLAR."

Anyone who can draw and likes to draw is a powerful entity and I love you.

"... ok wait I actually like how this is going, this might be okay-"

"I take it back I hate this-"

No, I cannot draw a hood, hoods and I are not on good terms.

I just realized this is Nyx.

*spawns in the Void* *rummages through the archives*

"What do you think you're doing-" "I need to get caught up again okay-"

New stickers raaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-

Sonic stickers designed by my YouTube moot, Shi Sketches (she’s one of the besttttt)

Fluff and Angst Fanfic Cafe stickers by @kyri45 (needed to have, these are what I crave)

And the Dark One, Demon Hunter, Jayjay (MY BOI), and Villain stickers are from @scytheaudio

That's it, Bard is now #1 on my hit list, IF I DON'T FIND OUT WTF IS UP WITH THIS GUY I'M GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST.

There are few things in this life I desperately desire.

One of these things is a "try not to laugh challenge" video while watching ASMR (if it's an audio intended for laughs)

Personally I'd fail in the first ten minutes- like if it's one of the non-canon V audios or MGFL/NJR, I'm done for...

ASMR RANT: My thoughts after binging Saku’s, Escaped’s, and Scythe’s channels

Next

*slams down my files on the three of them* I finished my run, the fixation is over, they have power over me NO LONGER! I’M FREE-

*sees notification for new upload, immediately grabs headphones* Heyyyyy, how’ve y’all beennnnn…

(Very long rant under the cut, turn back nowwww-)

Saku: (the KING- MILORD- MAJESTY-)

Mental state after finishing binge: *entangled in a net made of a significant amount of lore, dangling from several cliffhangers I’m waiting to be resolved*

Favorite series: The Noble Trials

Series I thought I’d dislike but ended up loving: The Noble Trials (I was ignorant but I saw the light)

Random notes:

Second VA in this community I subbed to, first to introduce me to lore-based stories and world building in ASMR.

His range. Seriously, I was blown away by how diverse his characters are. When I went from listening to Isaac and Elias to Cevyk and Dontis, I honestly could not believe it was the same person.

Speaking of Cevyk, Saku’s world building also amazed me. Especially when I’m listening to Cevyk’s audios or The Noble Trials. This man just has new realms, plus languages, PLUS hierarchies and cultures floating around in his mind. AND he made a transcript of the Episode 5 debate. I love learning about that level of creativity in people so much.

And this technically goes for all three of them so I’m just gonna get it out of the way- I love the amount of effort they put into their work BESIDES their acting. The soundtracks, the sound effects- all of it helps add that extra bit of immersion and helps me see the scene more clearly in my mind.

Escaped: (freaking Escaped.)

Mental state: *sobbing, actually crying, tears are literally dampening my squishmallow one day- is wheezing and gasping for air because she’s laughing so hard the next*

Favorite series: … it’s a tie between Blue Infinity and Der Wolfsjäger

Series I thought I’d dislike but ended up loving: Slash and the Basher

Random notes:

The angst. I thought Saku was bad. I thought NORA was bad. Escaped might be a D-list villain, but he’s an A-list angst maker. Like Nora made me cry, but he didn’t have me weeping for 10 minutes. However, the angst always has a purpose, fits the story, and adds another layer of depth, so I do like that... BUT STILL-

I reallyyyyyyy love the way Escaped writes romance. The confession scenes for his characters feel super genuine. AND I love how he takes into account how long the characters have known each other, really appreciate that detail.

The amount of times I have gasped, shrieked, clapped a hand over my mouth, clutched my pearls, side-eyed the screen- the comedy and writing in these audios is so freaking good, I love it.

I really like how you can easily imagine each of his series in a different form of media- whether it be a comedy TV series or a two-hour long movie I’d ruin my sleep schedule to watch.

Scythe: (don’t even get me STARTED HAHAAAAA-)

Mental state: *limping a little, heavily bandaged, still a little blood seeping from a few cuts, has THE biggest grin on her face nonetheless*

Favorite series: Demon Hunter, War of the Witches, or Lullaby

Series I thought I’d dislike but ended up loving: Lullaby (JAYJAY, MY CHILD, MY PRECIOUS ANGEL-)

Random notes:

He was the first VA that made me sub in under five minutes. Soooo… yeah, he definitely captured my attention. I absolutely ADORE the intros to the audios and the fourth-wall breaks. Creators interacting with their characters is one of my favorite tropes to see lol.

Again. WORLD BUILDING. L O R E. ALL THE FREAKING LORE AND HOW IT CONNECTS AND- how. How do you guys honestly have this in your brains, how do you come up with this stuff, HOW. Anyway, I think that’s why Scythe’s channel was particularly rewarding to finish… knowing that everything is part of a larger story and getting to see it unfold was soooo cool to see.

These were some of the BEST fight scenes I’ve heard so far in this media. So I’m always doing some other activity when I’m listening to ASMR cuz it helps me focus, but the fight scenes and other tense moments had me frozen, like I was locked in. Literally had me on the edge of my seat and I enjoyed every minute of it.

The horror. Absolutely perfect. Like Scythe and Saku know how to do horror, because I love watching horror movies but some of their audios made my stomach do flips. It was amazing. And the amount of monsters and mythics Scythe brings to the table ughhhhh, I LOVE IT-

Again. Range. I love how he’ll go from chill, sweet Father Light and Siren to screeching, howling demons and entities. Coolest thing ever.

The collabs with Ms. Kittenish, she is wonderful and also beautifully terrifying, I hope you guys have a happy relationship for a very long time.

ALSO HIS SINGING?!?!?! HELLO?!?!?! HE’S AMAZING!!!! I can’t stress this enough, I love hearing people sing in audios, and Scythe is so freaking good RAAAAAGH-

Um… thank you guys for telling your stories and showing your creations. 2024 was rough for me, especially the last half of it. Finding your channels helped give me something to focus on, something to distract myself with it, something to look forward to. Plus it made my winter break WAY more fun XD

Honestly, if I could just talk to the people I admire (just creators I admire in general- there’s a lot like this-) for like 10 minutes, just to see how they think, I’d walk away happy. I love the fact that people like this exist, because I’m always wondering what goes on in another’s brain. Here, I can catch a glimpse of your imaginations.

Also, now that I know about y’all, I have a way to incentivize myself for this next semester! I can use your audios as rewards for studying or doing well on a test, or if I just need a break (Biochem major, almost done, but BRUH- science is no joke-)

Again- thank you guys so much.

Best of life, luck, and health to you allllll,

-Nyx 🖤🐈‍⬛

No one asked for this but ALSO *yeets list of favorite audios at your head-*

YouTube

ASMR favorites

I shall free myself from their curse eventually... but for right now it's very comfy here.

Void Maverick: "wE cOuLd ExPoSe It AlL nOw... BuT wE aRe NoT hErE tO DeLivEr LoRe-"

Me: *slams hand against the wall* "JUST GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY PLEASE-"

...

"We could not hurt the Demon Girl for certain reasons. If she were to die, we would not have a body to possess."

Bard. Bard. What is it with Bard. I need to know. You don't understand how much I need to know what is going on with Bard.

This is the fifth time I have rewound this video, okay.

So I'm currently laughing at myself because I have two moods when it comes to audios- The first mood: *listening intently, reacting to certain parts, keeping track of details that intrigued me, questioning why something was said or wasn't said, why did THAT thing happen, why is that important*

The second mood: "HE'S SINGING ZOMBIE OMG HE'S SINGING ZOMBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND IT SOUNDS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

So it's either you won today's lottery and you have an actually competent, intelligent listener hearing your stories-

Or you got this rabid person on the other side of the screen that's absolutely ecstatic to hear one of her favorite songs. There's no in-between, I'm sorry.

*reaches part 3 in the Shadow Break saga* *gets to plot twist with V’s trap for Atrocity* *pauses video* *does lap around the room* *screams into the void* *continues*

1 hour later:

*finishes video*

*hears the whispers echoing V's words at the end*

I CAN'T DO THIS RIGHT NOW THE LORE IS GETTING TOO MUCH FOR ME AND I CAN'T HANDLE THIS IT'S TOO FREAKING MUCH-

I honestly don't know what to do with myself, I feel like I've drank 5 cups of coffee, I'm all jittery and I can't think straight-

The fight between V and Atrocity, geezzzzzzzzz I could see it all playing out in my head. And then everyone going after Atrocity and getting trounced. It kind of gave me the same feeling I have when watching The Battle of the Five Armies (the extended version from the Hobbit).

The math equation threw me for a freaking loop in the last audio, I can't believe that's how V let all his allies know about the plan.

Speaking about the plan, him and Cheeky- that was honestly a really, REALLY good twist, I really liked that. And yeah, definitely seems like something V would do, I'm chill with that.

I might be crazy but something did not feel right about L... glad my Pikachu queen is alive, don't get me wrong. The first time when V asked her why she didn't respond to his message and she sounded confused, I didn't think too much of it. But the second time, the second time there was a bit of hesitation. Why was there hesitation, L? Also, just a sidenote, what's Void Wraith been up to? Just curious.

Goodbourne can go kick rocks. Brias is all right.

Wilder. Just. Wilder. That's all, make of that what you will.

The whisperssssssss, the whispers the whispers at the end- is the strength of V's new form to much for his mind to handle? Is that why Dark also heard those voices? Originally I thought Dark was just repeating to himself what people like Damian might have said to him over the years... WHICH BRINGS UP ANOTHER POINT HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA *pained inhale* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

So EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE not really everyone but a lot of people in this section have been talking about the Dark Magic user and his powers and him killing the Brotherhood of Heroes and the Light Magic user also dying and- come on man, I freaking love Dark and you're telling me that he's gonna kill Blade????

I think that's it- minus the fact that there were multiple times during the audio that I was pacing around the house, standing stock still, muttering angrily to myself, gasping, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not okay-

Boy, I sure do love it when Scythe opens up an intro with one of his characters and he's talking to them all serious-like.

That's sarcasm, by the way-

LAST TIME YOU DID THIS JAYJAY FREAKING DIED. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO V.

I forgot how trippy the first Yandere Siren audio is-

Like, I love binaural audios, but the way his voice rapidly flips between the left and right speakers scratches a whole 'nother itch in my brain. Very tingly, 10/10.

"AUGH. Ok, we're done with the Alpha world part of the lore, that chunk was huge... finally know what exactly is going on in this realm though.

"Now what's next..." "..." *shifts into demon cat* "CREED MY BOIIIIIIIIIIIII-"

Episode 1 aftermath: Brain: *scrolling the comments* "Well, everyone HERE seems to think he's just a lil' guy. We're not trusting this right, we're gonna get the flamethrower-" Me: "..." Brain: "... you can't be serious." Me: "HE'S MY CHILD NOW OKAY-"

Welp it's gotten to that point in the lore-

I'm scared

I didn't realize there are 17 videos, hoo boy-

I am indeed rather uneasy about this whole affair, ESPECIALLY after Alpha Claw-

Did I mention I'm scared-

EDIT: WHERE DOES THE REDDENING TAKE PLACE IN THE TIMELINE-

HE'S JUST A LIL GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-

Original pattern by Little Crochet farm: https://littlecrochetfarm.com/crochet-mini-grim-reaper-amigurumi-free-pattern/

Inspired by @scytheaudio

He's so adorable, I'm gonna squish him.

... so is it irrational to be filled with fear and distrust?

Oh I just noticed the chainsaw, nahhhhhhhhhhh bro-

Happy New Year to the Crumpets, the Noris, the Gremlins, the Escapees (it seems like the most logical name, correct me if I'm wrong-), the Winions/Epic crewmates, the Sonic fandom/fellow Shadow fangirls, my fellow yarnivores-

I truly wish you all the best in 2025. I know this year is gonna present new challenges to a lot of us, but I hope y'all find the strength, the allies, and the determination to power through any obstacles.

I hope you guys get to experience some new and amazing things this year, I hope you all stay healthy and safe, and I hope you guys manage to accomplish a few goals on your list (I believe in you-).

Best of life, luck, and health!
