*grabs headphones and crochet project*

HELP ME, I'M RELISTENING TO THE TEMPTATIONS OF SATAN AND I FREAKING CANNOTTTTTTTTTT-

"Jaffa Cakes go from mine lips straight to mine hips. Well, thank you I appreciate thine kind words, thou don't look half-bad thyself if thee don't mind mine saying. That's a mouthful. Boom one take-"

Gentle, eh?! Be gentle!

*thinking the Villain series was going to be my favorite* *having the hardest time drawing Cheeky and V* *clicking on the War of Witches* *finds out I can be a freaking demon cat which fits my sona perfectly*

V, I love ya, you're hilarious, but Imma be chilling with Creed for a bit... also I like being called floofster.

Bonus dooble: me after finding out Scythe is also a Shadow the Hedgehog fan-

I think War of the Witches is my favorite Scythe series so far... but it's also been a really good distraction from my jaw aching (wisdom teeth being yanked out is not fun).

Also, Cole. My guy. Tongue is great, don't get me wrong, it's freaking delicious... but do we need to carry it around on a string...?

CREED MY BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-🖤🐈‍⬛

A CROCHET QUESTION OMG OKAY-

So there's this website called Stitchfiddle which allows you to upload images and convert them into pixel grids! That's how I ended up getting my pattern.

Each pixel on the grid represents a stitch so that's how I know when I need to switch colors. The size of this is 150 x 150 pixels (150 stitches by 150 stitches); I was intending this to be a PILLOW but I got the yarn weight wrong ;-; XD

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

ASMR Rant pt. 4: Thoughts after binging FernVA

First ~ Previous ~ Next

Guess who's back~

Back again~

... No, not you V, get out of here-

FernVA: Ok I don't know what counts as "underrated" in this community- BUT FERN IS UNDERRATED CUZ WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT-

Mental state: @itzscribz Scribz, thank you Scribz, Scribz you're amazing, thank you for the suggestion-

Favorite audio: Break of Dawn, Reuniting with a Forest Demon

Audio I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: Reuniting with a Forest Demon (I'M GOING TO CRYYYY)

Random thoughts:

*searches up Fern's channel* *sees how many videos are on it* *takes deep breath* "Ok we're not gonna get attached, we're going to enjoy their work but we are NOT going to get attached like we did with the others-"

Once again, starting with the oneshots- WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S AN SCP AUDIO ON HERE-

The Skyrim readings were lovelyyyyyyyyy, the narration was perfect... *staring at the screen after Tamriel Tales* OK THAT WAS AMAZING WOWWWWW- bro that's like one of the stories I'd read when I was younger!

The forest demon is about to make me sob on campus HAVE MERCY ON MY POOR HEART OMG-

Ok, Break of Dawn time, a lot of people like this I think...

So it's related to one of Good Boy's series so I should probably get into his channel (for some reason I am nervous to start watching his audios, I don't know why, just something about the 72 horses XD)

OK SO FAR EVERYONE'S REALLY CUTE, I LIKE THEM.

This is seriously the type of sci-fi story I adore-

I GOT ATTACHED, GOSH FREAKING DARN ITTTTTTTTT-

I really like how Fern's voice sounds... gentle at times, soothing, which makes it all the more intimidating when listening to the SCP audios- and then YARGWYNNNNNNNN, listen I would absolutely join that crew in a heartbeat, they all sound so cool-

So on the list of crazy crochet projects for 2025:

I managed to turn Saku's design for the Ilves crest into a pixel grid for tapestry crochet... (based off his answer to this)

Realizing that this is definitely ambitious for a first attempt at tapestry, but that's never stopped me before! (to my detriment-)

So far on the time-consuming project list it's this, and then I also want to try making Tom's sweater from Sonic 3.

Plus now that I've unlocked one of the secrets to tapestry, I kinda want to make a pirate flag now (iykyk)

Send this to ten other bloggers that you think are wonderful. Keep the game going, make someone smile!!! ♡♡♡ YOU ARE VICTIM 2

KYA-

*falls off couch*

I'VE BEEN AMBUSHED-

Thank you, thank you, lovelyyyyyyyy, you're amazing and wonderful too- GRAH okay, ten people, here we go-

*despawns*

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...

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-

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.
