Good Boy Audios:

Glad you like it, lovely!! 😸🖤

Edit: gif version

The Mage

I can see you Not for your eyes! I can hear You've left me entwined!

Random notes:

OKAY. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE CHANNEL ANNIVERSARY. CLEARLY I GOT IMPATIENT.

Seriously, how do y'all not post immediately after you're done with a piece aalsdfjlsdkfjlksdfj

So the series logos appear in the order that their first audio came out I think? I might've messed up the order

THIS WAS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE A LIPSYNC. I forgot that drawing is barely doable for me- that kind of animation is still a ways off so um yeah we got this instead-

I don't know why I picked “Kid and Leveret” but I had a whole sequence in my head to this song smh

MY YARN FOR MY NEXT PROJECT CAME IN, SUPER EXCITED. Just gotta finish my current one

Also now I need a back-up plan for the seventh so onward I go-

*yelling at your window from the street*

YOU DESERVE IT ALL AND MORE, MAGE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

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-

Soooooooo hahahaaaaaaaa…

I gravely misjudged how long 150 stitches would be with this yarn weight-

This went from “Ooh a cute tapestry pillow!” to “Frick this might just be a straight-up tapestry-“

I wonder if I’ll finish by the first deadline I gave myself lol-

Also just a reminder of these audios.

THERE’S BEEN SO MUCH FLUFFFFFFFFFFF- THE ANGST IS GONNA COME DOWN HARD-

*HAS YEETED STUDYING OUT THE WINDOW-*

When the angst king makes fluff, awwwwwwwwwww XD

[CHEMISTRY NERD ACTIVATED]

Ok ok ok, so there's two different colors of fire here right- we got blue-orange and sparky green... I think there might be red? But predominantly it's the sparky green and the blue-orange flames.

So green flames with the lil sparky bits in my experience is a result of copper being set on fire, so they're probably a result of the "beyblades" scraping against each other and the surface and loosening bits of copper, maybe rust too.

The blue-orange flames are probably a result of the alcohol or oil that the person put down on the surface originally.

And if there are red flames in there (on second watch I don't think so, it might just be a bunch of orange), a bunch of elements can give off red flames... the one that I'm most familiar with is strontium, but I don't think that fits in this scenario.

Turns out that when you set certain elements on fire, the heat from the flames gives the atoms some extra energy, which excites their electrons (makes them move faster), and they can jump to a higher orbital. Once the electrons calm down and go back to their normal state, they release photons (light particles). The energy that they need to release to get back to their normal orbital corresponds to specific wavelength of light, which results in the colors we see-

I think that's how the concept works, flame tests were one of my favorite experiments to do. Ah- yeah that's my nerd rant of the day-

Beyblade heavyweight division

Kya, okay so-

We’ve officially finished the crown and started work on the lettering and first bird.

Row 60/150, this thing is gonna be HUGE.

Trying to sleep but mY ARTERIES ARE TOO LOUD

WHEATLEY I MISS YOU 😭😭😭

..................

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEATLEY JUST GETS YEETED INTO SPACE-

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 🖤🐈‍⬛
