When I first listened to Lunar Mission, I had a feeling the speaker was more feminine, was very happy to see that was kind of the case (I've been obsessed with the moon since childhood and always considered it to be a somewhat feminine entity... most of my sonas in the past have had some kind of connection with it XD)
I feel like there could be a time where Mitch decides to leave his Listener. Idk to me it feels like he's going to get more independent and sure of himself; I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Listener and told them it was time for him to move on. Personally, I think my Listener would be fine with it, a little sad obviously, but they'd understand and tell him not to be a stranger. And now they have more reason to go to the bakery!
Speaking of which I think Mitch's listener and the bakery owner would be friends ^^
Aru is one of the best freaking people to talk to. Just super calming presence, funny, he'll listen to you when you need to vent, great storyteller, etc. etc.
After David and Bats finish a mission, if they're not too tired, Bats will take David somewhere and buy him food sometimes. They'll probably hang out on a bench afterward and Bats will just talk about anything.
Mitch's listener sucks at video games. They like playing them! But there's always at least one incident where Mitch questions how hopeless a person could be at gaming-
User has dreams about their deaths and also possibly about their life outside of the Plane in the real world. But the real world dreams are the type that are super vague and exist on the edge of memory after you wake up. The death dreams are vivid, they just don't like to talk about them.
A bunch of the listeners are the "mildly aggressive caregiver" type. Like "Sit down, stop playing and acting like you're fine, you're not fine, let me help you dammit-"
And last thing because I like showing affection to people, POSSIBLY THE BEST HUGGERS: - Aru - Eissen - Mitch
Also not character related but in my mind I think Mage's Headspace looks kind of like Cedar Lake, only more mystical... the entrance to the Realms (the character worlds) would be the lake itself, you'd probably disturb the water to enter I think.
I'm always curious about people's headcanons, it's amazing to hear other interpretations of the characters! Here's a few of mine; while all the listeners are gender neutral, I sometimes have an image of them in my head, such as Bats (Vampire Hunter series) and the rancher (Rancher & Royal Knight series) being female, and the Neko Listener and the User (Respawn) being more male. Got headcanons? Hit me!
Less chaos than normal from the stray?? Will it ever be possible???
Capital M Audios: Listen the orca lady said I could have all the fresh fish I wanted if I join the pod, therefore I join the pod.
Mental state: *waiting outside the door with a bowl ready for the next bit of food*
Favorite audio series: Keeper of the Broken Shrine (MY BELOVED DYSFUNCTIONAL TRIO AAAAAAAAA-)
Audio I thought I'd dislike but ended up loving: Thirsty Dryad (no cuz she’s EXACTLY like my mom over water brands-)
Random notes:
Aight, confession time, first female VA channel I've listened to OUTSIDE of a collab. It should not have taken me this long.
So far when I ðĘvØųŘ binge these channels, I start with the series playlists first and then go for the one-shots, but I decided to do the opposite this time.
Ok absolutely LOVING the collabs with Daysprite btw, the two play off each other so well.
"What are you, a masochist?!" *glances up from lab notes* "... next question-"
YES MADAM PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR APPRENTICE- *hears the start-up sound effect for a laptop* *immediately wheezing*
WAIT I’M THE SHUTTLE?!?!? WTF HAPPENED TO ME- oh well, thank you for saving me, shame about my mortal shell I’M A FREAKING SHUTTLE-
(I need to stop getting jumped by you merpeople, sheesh…)
The freaking. Cliffhanger. For Broken Shrine. AAAAAAAAGH. MIYA MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU, DON’T CRY PLEASE, I WON’T LEAVE-
Writing? Excellent. Humor? Had me muffling my laughter in the library. Acting? On point.
There is no greater pain than deciding to binge a channel, liking the channel, loving a series, and then finding out the last episode in the playlist is a cliffhanger. I wish I had found out about y’all soonerrrrrrr 😭😭😭
Episode 2: My guy loves pie, respect...

GREAT NEWS I'VE FIXED THE PROJECT- aagh I love him so much-
What does Luke want... he sounds nervous?... oh great what happened.
NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BRO, ANYTIME THEY WANNA MEET SOMEONE IN PERSON IT'S BAD COME ON. WHAT NOW.
I take back my earlier statement, this man is NOT red flag-simping material.
We are NOT bringing Ivan. WE ARE NOT BRINGING IVAN.
RAVEN, GIRL, I KNOW I'M TECHNICALLY YOU, BUT I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS.
Can we please listen to Ivan- I don't like this situation- this frick is gonna double-cross us-
(I feel like Michelle had the better lawyer in the divorce lol-)
There's that freaking crow again. YEP. HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOO.
Too bad we don't have regenerative powers like a certain someone hahahahaaaaaaa *piercing sobs*
FIGHTTTTTTT
DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG NOT THE HELMET-
OMGGGGGGGGGGG. OH THIS IS BRUTAL.
Ivan don't scare me like that again.
I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW HE WAS A SLEAZEBALL-
HI CROW, I TRIED TO TELL HER- STOP PLAYING OUR SONG.
Wench, I know you did not threaten Paloma-

THAT ENDING WAS SO GOOD OMGGGGGGGGGGG OK I LOVED THIS ONE TOO, THE NEON SERIES WAS GREAT
*sits down with lunch* "It has been a long time since you have seen me, has it not?" *angrily muttering into bowl*
Episode 1:
Yeah, yeah, it's about me...
Oh frick, am I in therapy- I'M IN THERAPY WOO
K question, will I be taking care of Baby Vengeance in here?
Yeah that checks out, I'd probably feel better about this if I'd died in his stead.
What kinda dream is this???
"Strangers to lovers", who the heck is the stranger gonna be... this is gonna be tough.
CROW OR RAVEN CAWING????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG-

Ok wait wait I don't wanna space out while I'm driving, WAKE UP- oh damn ok I'm sorry ma'am, just my traumatic flashback speaking-
Aaaaaaaand there's our stranger... AH KITTY BUBBA!!!
Oh he's a father... and a nerd, let's go- OH HE'S A SINGLE DAD, GREAT-
Omg he's such a nerd aughhhhhhhhhhh 🙌🏾
Oh there goes my heart, here we freaking go.
"I hope it wasn't awkward standing there while I was talking on the phone-"
me: *actually wheezes*
my brother: "what's so funny-"
"NOTHING-"
I don't like how cute I'm finding him. This is not good.
HELPPPPPPPPPPPP HE'S REALLY CUTE AND I DON'T LIKE IT.
Aw man, put the telenovela back on!
I did not make a pie for this man... oh my God I am so dead. Oh I'm gonna be wrecked.
*pauses the video* *walks away from laptop* "WHY AM I SMILING SO HARD OVER THIS GUY NO-"
And there's the crow... frick this is what our dream is about huh
OMG IT IS, THIS IS WHAT THE DREAM IS ABOUT- OH FRICK.
Ok so this crow dropped Ivan's birdfeeder into our backyard, therefore it's the spirit of Crow trying to hook us up with someone- I KNEW IT HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(yeah I know this stuff is probably obvious to everyone, biochem wrecked my brain process ok)
YEAH HE'S REALLY CUTE, CROW, HELP ME-
Oop- no no, finish that statement sir >:3
NOT THE SOUNDTRACK HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Please let this be a movie someday, I have so many favorite series that I need to be a movie/TV series...
Early crochet harvest of Valentine's goods...
Me: "Come on, let's go see what they're up to-" Dinner!Me: *clawing at the floor* "DON'T TAKE ME BACK THERE PLEASE-" Me: "Silence, you, I missed my drama queens."
"But your taste is so... all right, I'll be back in a moment-"
"Because I'm a homewrecking s*** just like you!"
AYO WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT HIM- WHAT-
WHAT-
Dinner!Me: "......Idon'twanttobehereGETMEOUTOFHERE-" "SHUT UP IT'S GETTING GOOD."
"ONE HUNDRED. AND SEVENTY. ONE."
I'm dead. I'm wheezing. Oh my God, I cannot with these two- Edmund is my favorite-
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-*
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-
I have come to the conclusion that I am just a cat trapped in human skin:
I like head scratches and ear rubs
I meow. Like a lot. Also random screeching, that is an almost daily occurrence-
I do crawl on all fours often (I need to quit cuz my knee is fricked up enough smh)
I stretch like a cat
I'm obsessed with yarn
*trips and falls on face* I take it all back, The Noble Trials are epic- Zaros is epic- I take back all my first thoughts-
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.
