ASMR RANT Pt. 2: Thoughts After Binging Obsidian Lantern's And Mage Bunkshelf's Channels

Early crochet harvest of Valentine's goods...

Now I don't want to post my thoughts on Chapter 6, sir why are you reading my cringe screaming-

*grabs headphones and crochet project*

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-

*is gingerly prodding part two with a 6 ft pole*

BACK ON THE BINGE

K I'm not the biggest fan of sci-fi, dystopian type stories, but we'll see, this could be interesting.

Episode 1: "But this story isn't about me." Me with my one braincell: "It's not?" "It's about you." "It is?"

I automatically distrust and dislike the CEO.

Oh dope, I'm an investigator...

Damn ok, fine, Crow- *checks tags* "Coworkers to lovers" right, not enemies-

I need a himbooo... I'm holding out for a himbo till the end of the niiiiiiiiiiiight

WHO IS EGGYOLK- DOES HE HAVE A BUBBAS?

Oh yeah we going clubbing- neverrrrrrr mind-

I'm grinning so hard at the music playing, I love Hall & Oates, wow...

(Btw I'm listening to this while screaming in the friend chat about Tigress and Po smh)

THANK YOU CROW I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND- yet, i'm sure there's a yet smh... NOT THE POLITICALLY CORRECT COMMENT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ok we're so in trouble smh, Crow, can you be any more obvious. Or blatant. No sir, I'm not sure he's all the way there, either.

*facepalming* Is this why his last partner died-

Please put down the lighter- oh my gosh-

Episode 2:

I'm with him, please don't arrest me-

... Actually Crow you're not saying enough, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LAST TWO PARTNERS BRO-

I'm gonna take you up on that offer actually-

No Crow, I have a very bad feeling about these missions now

... he doesn't have a license- actually not that shocking now that I think about it

Yeah, water's great! *has not drank a drop all day-*

Ok he's got a point about modern struggles though.

Omg, the soundtrack for this is going to be fire too aughhhhhhhh

*catches myself smiling at the dancing scene* *immediately hitting pause* *jabbing finger at Escaped* NO I'M NOT GONNA FALL FOR HIM, YOUR TRICKS AREN'T GONNA WORK THIS TIME DANG IT.

YES PLEASE I WILL JOIN YOU FOR LUNCH.

No I'm not falling for Crow. It's not gonna happen.

Oh flashback, nice.

We're inadvertently working with the Surge gang aren't we.

No boss I want foodddddddddd...

Boi. What do you know about Acid Rain. I KNEW IT-

If you don't see a body, they ain't dead. And even if you see a body, they're still probably not dead.

Listen, Imma need everyone to STOP TRYING TO BLOW ME UP.

*hears gun cock* Oh we're screwed.

NOT SINGLE COMBATTTTTTTTTTTTT LET'S GO- oh she kinda cute ngl- I TAKE IT BACK, WHY DO I GOTTA DIE IF HE LOSES- HANG ON NO, THIS IS NOT OKAY-

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt 3.

Escaped Audios

"So what? Maybe I do see the world in black and white. But when you've lived in darkness your whole life, black and white is all that you see." (Matador Gothic Part 3)

"I met a girl, Dad. I met a girl and she's so fucking beautiful. I met a girl and I wish I knew what to tell her. It's a long, long, crazy story but... I just need to know. Why aren't you here, Dad? Weren't you supposed to teach me to be a man? Why did you have to die, Dad? I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what to tell her- [...] I wish you would talk back to me for once. Maybe you would know what to do." (Matador Gothic Part 3)

"Perhaps it is difficult to see the light when you are its source [...] When you are the light, you see only the shadows you cast." (Der Wolfsjäger Chapter Five: Valley of Death)

"Were it my eyes that were taken, I'd never forget your face. Not in a thousand years." (Blue Infinity Part Six)

"I hate the way that you have infinite potential and yet you sit here, looking at your screen, talking to a robotic imitation of a man. You could have everything I want, EVERYTHING! But here you sit, in your pathetic box of an apartment, eating disgusting manufactured food, working your meaningless little job, keeping your head down, never looking at other people, never touching them, never taking down the smallest of challenges, avoiding even the briefest moments of human connection." (ROM3O: Your AI Boyfriend Finally Gets a Body)

"Oh... it's simple. I'll be back even if you kill me. I'll be back because when you wake up from this dream, you will still hate yourself just as much as you always have. I'll come back because your lonely, pathetic life won't change. You'll never change. You can't change." (The Silence: Lucid Dreaming with Your Dream Boy)

First ~ Previous ~ Next

My mother: *watching me finish up the border of my tapestry* "You're going to have withdrawal symptoms when you're done with that..." Me: *glances up* "Actually I have two more projects lined up after this-" "Oh gosh-"

ASMR RANT Pt. 2: Thoughts after binging Obsidian Lantern's and Mage Bunkshelf's channels

Please be warned the following rant is very long and chaotic- again-

Listen I need something to keep out the voices-

Obsidian Lantern: Bro is overpowered for real, smh....

Mental state: *currently planning another trip to the bayou. For reasons. Important reasons. Shut up.*

Favorite series: Making a New Home/The Heart, Gator Boys, Vampire Friend

Series I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: Dating a Zombie

Random notes:

An art GOD. AND MAKES GOOD STORIES. PICK A STAT, OBI, YOU CAN'T HAVE ALL THE TALENT-

See the one thing that I have trouble with is that if I'm watching their channel, I'm WATCHING, I can't really switch to another tab or focus on my crocheting else I'll miss the backgrounds (HEAVEN FORBID I MISS A BACKGROUND TOO LIKE-).

Another sandwich lover, sandwiches are life ✊🏾

ALSO HERSHEY IS ONE OF THE GOODEST BOIS I WUV HIM

Knows the meaning of slow burn. And knows how to write a good one. I'm going crazy, PLEASE EITHER OBINOA OR SAVELDDREN NEEDS TO GET A MOVE ON, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, THEY'RE SO CUTE-

That Gator Boys Q&A stream where Obi ended up getting stuck in Timmy's accent is my Roman Empire.

I like the lengths for most of the episodes- like they seem to fall in the 10-15 minute range which is really nice because I can listen to a good portion of a series in between my classes.

The Bloodmoon AU and Betraying your Vampire Friend were sooo good, I love horror AUs and audios.

Mage Bunkshelf: I really, REALLY, need to get away from Tumblr-

Mental state: *distant muffled screaming can be heard, can find her with face shoved into pillow*

Favorite series: Fallen Angel, Rancher & Knight, Introverted Incubus, Respawn (CAY MY LIL TRAUMATIZED MEOW MEOW), Old Vampire, Kitsune, Raccoon Boy- ok there's a lot SUE ME-

Series I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: "Yandere" Ship AI (NO CUZ YOU KNOW WHAT, FRICK THIS SERIES, I HONESTLY DID NOT EXPECT TO LOVE THIS WHAT THE HECK-)

Random notes:

WHY. ARE. ALL. THEIR. CHARACTERS. SO. FREAKING. CUTE-

JUST THE SOFT BOIS- AND I LOVE THEM

LIKE NEM AND JACKSON AND MITCH FREAKING BROKE MY HEART, THE POOR BABIES-

LURED ME IN WITH THEM, HOW DARE YOU PLAY ON MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT MAGE.

I mean then you got people like David and Llyr who aren't really in the "soft boi" category BUT AAGH- IF THEY'RE NOT CUTE THEY'RE SO FREAKING COOL-

One thing I really liked and can't emphasize enough HOW much I liked were the emotional moments? So like in Episode 1 of Introverted Incubus where Jackson admits exactly what he is/needs and breaks down. Or in Fallen Angel when Nem's telling their story. Also Episode 2 of Neko Listener when the roommate also turns into a neko. I don't know, it felt like Mage made it really easy to feel their pain or shock at the moment through their voice acting... I loved that so much.

Underlying messages... my mother LOVES to analyze movies and books for the hidden meaning behind them and I started to do that with audios lately lol... I felt like there were a few I could see in some of the stories.

Same thing as Obi about the episode length, easy to digest and short enough to listen to between classes.

AND LAUREN CREATES DID ART FOR SOME OF THE CHARACTERS, MY GOATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

*finds out they did a reading of The Raven. Which is my second favorite Poe writing.*

*listening to Respawn* *finds out Obi voiced the latest character*: "Omg Obi, yayyyy!" *realizes that was the latest and last episode in the playlist*: "OMG OBI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" 😭😭😭

Psychological horror my beloved aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

THE TEMPTATIONS OF SATAN KILLED MEEEEEEEEEE

(also I stumbled upon this post... My immediate thought was "THEY JUST LIKE ME FRRRRRRR" over how they struggled with receiving compliments... second thought, in my opinion, MAGE DESERVES ALL THE COMPLIMENTS- seriously, they're one of the best VAs I've listened to so far??? Idk, I've just had such an amazing time on the channel, I've loved SO many of the stories- I just have a happy glowy feeling inside rn-)

MITCH IS MY CHILD NOW. HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR FR OMG- BABY RACCOON BOI I LUV HIM AAAAAA-

Also ah... I need a new channel to devour now SO IF Y'ALL GOT ANY RECS LEMME KNOWWW THANK YOUUUUUUUU-

It is currentlyyyyyyyy... 1:30 in the morning and slightly-feral Nyx is in charge, so here's how I view the moots:

supercool and I'm comfortable enough with them to ask them about their day and show my chaotic side (screaming with them over some random topic of conversation or screaming in awe at their work)

supercool and I chat with them via reblogs/comments

supercool but we both lurk so I usually see them in my feed and like their reblogs because they reblog a lot of good stuff

supercool and currently my only DM to them was a check-in just in case they needed one, also usually seen in reblogs

supercool but I think they're super busy so usually interact via reblogs/comments/asks

supercool but I think they're super busy and I contacted them out of sheer impulse; will awkwardly send a message relating to a previous topic but for the most part reblogs/comments/asks

Ok I did it, Kipperzz we need to play bingo-

Wild Foxboy audio notes

starts out as speaker not trusting the listener but still helps them.

wouldn't say he's skittish.

hint of surprise when the human stayed

tasty berries :3

yea, not skittish; just very much doesn't trust humans.

I wouldn't say Aru is self obsessed!

sounds like he has met a kitsune before.

I want to pat him :3

Even though the foxboy is similar to Mitch, I can see why Mitch is more popular but that'll be for the notes for that audio.

foxboy tries one of the sugariest drinks ever

sharp liquid :3

good way to have the foxboy trust the listener via soda

yooooooo, pats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

starting to think there should be a mage bunkshelf bingo with one of the spots being, the character is or will become your roommate

*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-
