ASMR Rant pt. 8: Thoughts after binging Atonal ASMR

First ~ Previous ~ Next

*shakes inhaler* *takes a puff* I have not needed to use this in years smh…

Atonal ASMR: *picks up gently and places on "homie-shaped channels" shelf *

Mental state: WHAT IS GOING ONNNNNNNNNNNN-

Favorite series: Reclusive Vampire, Hunter and Medusa, Fixing Up A Robot

Audio I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: Evaluated By A Scientist (THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY ISSSSSSS-)

Random thoughts:

Imma get this out of the way right now, I enjoyed myself so much listening to Atonal, another one of the channels that gave me a happy feeling inside -w-

THE ART STYLE IS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAA

Also I liked the way humor is delivered? Like the way it catches me off-guard makes it so good.

*works my way down the playlists, eventually hits Wyatt's series* "Oh this was the guy that showed up in Floki's series... hey wouldn't it be hilarious if this was yet ANOTHER channel where most if not all audios are all connected to each other instead of just one or two series-"

*finishes Wyatt's series, double-checks playlists and one-shots* *kicks over chair* "IT IS ALL CONNECTED, DAMMITTTTTTTTTT-"

OKAY, so then based off of the two "Wyatts" in the Evaluated By A Scientist series, I'm assuming that the Wyatt in Floki's series was the bad Wyatt?? The shape-shifter?

ALSO. THE FREAKING. REFERENCES. IN THE SERIES. First, FREAKING TETHYS AND CHARIS FROM M'S MERFOLK SERIES?!?!?! DEMETRIOS WAS THE GUY THEY WERE CHASING AFTER?????? THEN WE GOT THE GATOR BOYS REFERENCE IN PROFESSOR O'TONAL'S SERIES. AND ESCAPED SMH. AND THEN "MITCHELL THE RED PANDA" Y'ALL AIN'T SLICK. WHAT THE HECK. (i'm sure there's more references I missed anyway moving on-)

*clonk* "... BRO WHAT DID YOU DO-" "HE WAS GONNA TURN US INTO THE COPS-" "WE AIN'T GOT COPS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE-" (poor Morpho, the guy was just trying to do his job TvT) "Are you saying I'm being factory reset?" "Oh good gracious no! More like becoming a walking vegetable." "... oh my- oh no- oh no no-" *immense facepalm*

Also this is really really random but I LOVED Brady's ringtone- oh and speaking of which!

*hard cut to me lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling, and questioning the implications of Brady's and Gideon's series crossing over*

OH. AND BARBARA BARBARA. WHAT IS UP WITH HER, I'M SO CONFUSEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST A REPORTERRRR-

Oh horror audios yay!!! .......... *crying* I want my normal Brady and Gideon baaaaaaaaaack, I don't like them evillllllllll-

OKAY BUT LIKE- ARTEMIS HAD ME *FLUSTEREDDDDDDDDDDDD* AUGHHHHHHHHHH >/////////////< UGH he's just so freaking cute oamdlfkjasdlkfjf aaaaaaaaagh- I have weaknesses and he got a lot of them helpppppp-

Yee, fun time on Atonal's channel aaaaaaaaa- I think Cardlin or Yuurivoice is next?

Alright, a few weeks ago I saw a thread of artists saying they'd love to be commed to have their art in an audio thumbnail. Now I can't promise anything, I'm a little slower at working on my own stuff and I only have a limited budget, but the best way to get started:

Artists!

Share some examples of your art and how best to contact you for commissions! Show us what you've got!

VAs!

Have a look through the notes! Hopefully we can get a little thread going with some cool new artists to check out!

JAIL.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEATLEY JUST GETS YEETED INTO SPACE-

"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-"

Passages from audios that have stuck with me

Mage Bunkshelf

"I'm an angel. You're a demon. No. But... I'm a person. You're a person. We're both just... people. On that count, yeah. We are. There's more to it than just where we come from." (Fallen Angel, vol. 2)

"Did you enjoy your food? Don't look at me like that- yes or no? Did you enjoy your food? Yeah? Even though it's ultimately meaningless, you still enjoyed it. Cuz here's the thing- who cares about ultimately meaningless? Are you ultimate? No. You're just- someone. And that food, it matters to you now. This park- one day it'll be gone. The station will be scrapped, and everything you see here will be dead. All that work that went into building it and maintaining it... but we still derive value from it for the time it was here. In the moment we experienced it. That's all that's needed for something to matter- for there to be someone to whom it mattered." (Alien Abduction, vol. 3)

"Maybe this is nuts... but... let's go out for a walk. Now. Skies have cleared up so... um... I dunno, the co-op and back? Just... no hats. [...] Just as yourself. I will if you will... show the world you're proud of who you are. You said you never knew many nekos, maybe- maybe if I came with, that'd- help? [...] Maybe we'd run into someone else who's doing the same... having to hide. Another neko or another demi-human." (Neko Listener, vol. 2)

"I thought that like- if there are more of us, then maybe I can find out how they live. Learn from them. See how they figured things out. Seeing them as- like- part of normal life, it made me realize I don't have have to hide anymore, right? Not anymore... so I got a job." (Mitch the Raccoon, vol. 6)

ZsakuVA

"No, it's not my intention to fix you. It's not my duty to either. I take how I find you and tend to it. Gather all the pieces together and see the many different pictures I can make. Because your beauty deserves to be admired, and I admire it. In your world, you all are obsessed with making things perfect. Looking perfect, feeling perfect, this has to be perfect. There is no such thing as perfection. You created that yourselves and then stress over something that can never be achieved. A concept that isn't real. [...] It isn't to stop perfection. It's how you are supposed to be- not perfect but existing."(The Demon, Episode 3)

"If Serulla's charm no longer appeals to you, you might have to ask yourself why. Death of passion is the death of devotion." (The Noble Trials, Episode 6)

"We will always be treated like malignants. Hunted. They will never stop, and you know this. There is no pride in dying for a future that is already against us. It's a waste." (Dontis: The Incubus and the Vampire)

Third of the way done with this.

One thing I'm realizing is that it looks way better on camera than in person.

Yes, the crown is highly inaccurate, I apologize, it was getting complicated. Still no regrets about making this my first tapestry crochet.

Rant? Idk, just random thoughts from today-

One thing I realized would be great to have is a gamer boyfriend. I put on Jonah's sleep aid and the amount of sheer focus I got from that was amazing. So yeah gamer boyfriend for boyfriend purposes but also because I can use him for background noise.

she says all this with the full intent of never getting into a relationship because she is too scared

Anyway in terms of background noise that works for me, I realized it's gaming streams, Q&As, and live DnD games with the BG3 cast. Audios work too but I get too caught up in them.

Besides this I'm also working on a skirt commission and two friends' bday presents for this month... March is busyyyy hahaha...

This was not the actual rant I intended to type out but the more lighthearted one

Also I measured it properly! It's nearly 3.5 ft (~1 m I think?) wide.

Probably the last update post for a bit, I'll just keep working on this behind the scenes... I just really liked how the crown was looking and wanted to show it off.

IT'S THE SAME ENTITY I'M TELLING YOU- *she yowls before she's shoved into a carrier and taken to the pound*

... Um-

*rubs back of neck*

Yeah hun, definitely on a date... for sure... so um, sketch anything interesting lately-

Ok, ok, so I told my bestie about Gator Boys because the audio fixation is real and it's something I keep bringing up in chat- anyway I sent it to her and she's WATCHING it and I'm really hoping she likes it- also she's a HUGE animal nerd and she asked if I think the boys can bellow like actual gators (I said yes, I think they would-)

Thank you for letting me try it out, I'm glad you and the other Crumpets like it! 😸

The Ilves Crest Crochet Tapestry

I locked in last night lol, just finished this-

Original design by ZsakuVA, border pattern by naztazia on YouTube, tapestry pattern made by me on Stitchfiddle.

Random notes:

So the actual stats of this thing: The actual creative process started January 23 (I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR THAT LONG?!?!?!?!!?) when I asked Saku if it was okay to try crocheting his design. Crocheting took a little over 7 weeks and ~108 hours? But with a bunch of interruptions due to college and family stuff. Luckily I bought more than enough yarn to finish this, since I found out a week after I started that JoAnn was closing (they had the best yarn selection I'd ever seen too 😭). It is 57.25 in. long (~1.5 m) and 47 in. wide (~1. 2 m).

I thought about making this like- an actual wall-hanging tapestry, but as it got longer I saw that it made a really nice blanket so I decided to just keep it as a throw. Definitely my biggest project to date...

Crochet list is still going for the VAs lol... I kind of want to make a wearable for myself though, so one small plushie attack to take a break from the big projects, then I'm going to make myself a spiderweb coat! If anyone has ideas on what I could make for the VAs, I'd love to hear them- Saku's down, for Nora I want to make a giant stuffed onigiri pillow... I think for Scythe I want to make JayJay's red panda plushie Advoo, but I feel like I could make something more epic. For Escaped, Mage, and GBA I have no idea what to make.

Anyway hope you guys like it!!!! This was super fun, and I'm really really proud of how it came out.

And thank you Saku, your work is super inspiring and I hope I did your design justice!

Cheers, lovelies <3

*bangs on your window* OK, BUT SCYTHE- SIR-

I am freaking out right now, ok so-

Episode 5 of War of the Witches, right, Creed's charging up his attack AND THE INCANTATION-

"May the light of our Father shine down upon me, may the sword of the Hunter protect me, and may the melody of the Noble Bard soothe my fears-"

Me: drops everything

stares

starts pointing aggressively at the Demon Hunter series "WAIT A FREAKING MINUTEEEEEEEEEEEEE-"

In all seriousness, though, there is also a thrill for people who take the time to listen and watch all the lore. It makes things so much more exciting for me when I hear it referenced in a future piece of work, and again provides me with a better idea of how it all ties together.

It's also exciting to hear, because the first time I listened to this, everything was still pretty much flying over my head- now I'm over here like, "wait a minute was that-???"

Also I'm just a huge nerd when it comes to references, they're one of my favorite things to spot in movies or TV series.

So thank you for putting all this time and effort into your world-building, it's so freaking awesome to listen to.

BUT THEN THIS LEAVES ME WITH A QUESTION-

If I'm right and not completely delusional/crazy (I am) and it is a reference to Demon Hunter, what the heck did Bard do???? Father Light and Hunter were like deities, they had a ton of power, so I get why Creed would be invoking them- but Bard?? What- what did Bard do???

"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-"
