Hey, Scythe Question Regarding Rot And Dominic From Beyond The Stars

Since everyone seems to be talking about the gba faithful thing I want to take a minute to share a hot take I've been thinking about for a while now

Gba among other VAs (including scythe audio who I'm gonna talk about to cos I think he's very important to this conversation) aren't actually "asmr boyfriend vas" their creative people working with a budget

There's something that sets both these creators apart from the typical "asmr rp boyfriend va" and it's the fact that they both clearly would rather their work be a series, a comic, a book or even a movie but their working with a budget so they use a fairly cheep medium: youtube asmr rp

When you listen to gba or scythe your not listening to "asmr rp boyfriend #comfort #sleep aid #hot british" your listening to a story with real narrative and real talent

I bring up scythe because he's expressed multiple times his resentment for typical asmr bf rp audios which is valid because they get more views despite the "lack of talent" also because he's faced similar criticism for the villan series

However with gba it's harder to notice but it's very clear that he's jumping through hoops to try and please the audience that sees "asmr bf #british #enemies to lovers" and clicks because of that instead of the actually genius story writing

While I do think it's kinda dishonest to put those things in your video thumbnail in order to attract a bigger audience I don't in any way condem gba for doing that and he made a smart move making the "albus ending" and "devlin ending" for all the "romance starved" fans but to somone like me who recognises that the romantic aspect of a lot of his story's are only their for viewers sake the albus ending felt very dishonest to what gba actually wanted and felt very pander-y which again I don't condem him for cos if he hadn't made the albus ending yall would have pissed and moaned about it!

And lastly to say that gba "can't write romance" is blatantly dishonest. He has said before that he dosnt like doing it as much but the people that say that he straight up "can't" are clearly just pissy about the whole faithful thing. Like did yall just collectively forget about space pirates?

Cheers my mates

I just wanted to thank those who welcomed my return to content creation

To those who commented

To those who hyped

To those who posted actual videos of them freaking out

To those who drew sweet artwork

To those who were quietly excited

To all the VA pals that have worked with me to make these audios

I means the world to me. Scythe may slow down at times (life is challenge) but I promise you all this...

I will be around for a hell of a long time...and a good time 😉

YANDERE WEREWOLF NEXT!

inspired by a friend misspeaking

I am a grown ass adult and I still get nausea when I feel like I'm in trouble. They're gonna send me to the principals office and take away my toys for a week. Can you just fucking kill me instead of making me stew in my fucking anxiety

Relistening to Scythe Audio’s entire works again (FOR SCIENCE!!!), and seriously, the Alpha guy (does he have a name that isn’t Alpha that I missed somehow???) is SUCH a diva. He must’ve been such a fun hang back before he went crazy.

Comforted by the God of Recovery will always be one of my favorite audios 🥰

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt. 2

Scythe Audio

"Think of a time when you achieved something that made you proud... think of that moment when you told someone that you looked up to, and their face lit up with joy. Or when you smiled to yourself with a feeling of fulfillment because of all the work you put into something. Think of it... what was it? Yes, child, you see? That head on your shoulders possesses one brilliant mind indeed. I'm proud of you for what you have achieved. Don't compare it to anyone else. Your success is yours. Revel in it." (Comforted by the God of recovery)

"What I have created, what I have been through- you think silly thoughts and paranoia would stop me? I'm not going anywhere, because there are still people out there who enjoy my work. There are still people out there that make art of my creations [...] I still have people saying how much of an inspiration I can be to them [...] and how my work has gotten them through tough times. [...] There is one thing I do have, and that's the loyalty and love of the beautiful and brilliant fucking niche community who are just as wacky and weird as I am! And that's just the way I like it. [...] If my work makes one of my wacky family smile, then I've achieved my goal." (The Reddening 6)

"Twinkle? It's been an honor to share a bit of time with one of my favorite listener characters. You are truly wonderful, and it brings me so much joy to know how loving and caring you are, despite the endless shit that you've had to endure- kinda like my audience! It won't get any better for a while, but I promise you one thing- you don't get any colder as a result. Your heart stays warm. It is in fact your warmth and kindness that will save you... and save us all. Goodbye, Twinkle." (The Reddening 6)

I still really don't get the refusal to have characters of color in ones lineup. It will never not look weird to me. Especially given that there ARE VAs with multi-racial casts (Mr. Laveau is a great example).

I feel like not wanting to be "offensive" is more of an excuse than anything else. Especially since the majority of the audios I've listened to, both narrative and one off, very rarely actually contain content that could be considered highly insensitive if the race of the character changed. Especially in fantasy worlds where the idea of race takes on new contexts.

It always reads to me like a creator (audio rp or otherwise) either is incapable of seeing POC as actual people, or has a weird inability to separate POC from our struggles. And while it IS important that we don't play into the idea of "not seeing color", and disregarding what is often very difficult and painful histories for many of us...

... Y'all do know we like, like, people shit, right? We have normal jobs, we eat food, probably go to the movies and on dates. Can and do exist in fantasy worlds. Like, I'm not saying don't do some research, like don't make a black character a monkey or a Jewish character a rat or some bs, lmao. But like, what exactly is stopping any of you, on some real shit 🤨.

Idk, it's just a weird look to me. Also, obviously, this is about creators who have characters depicted in some form of art.

No more raising awareness!!! I am aware of enough things! I don't want to be aware of any more, thanks!!!!!

Sorry I was late I was I going through my saved tiktok sounds and imagining redacted edits to them in made up scenarios
