I've been relistening to a lot of Pebbles ASMR stuff lately and he's probably one of my favorite audio roleplayers that I never get tired of listening too. He's genuinely a really great voice actor, writer and storyteller. But what I think what hooked me to his videos is his comedic timing in his audios especially in his story driven audios.

For example his SuperVillain Boyfriend series, The Librarian, and Tsundere Boss ones had moments where you had to hold back your laughter cause it had PERFECT timing for shenanigans to happen. And it's not just him too! I could give a good list of audio rpers that genuinely make me laugh, a great example is Scythe Audios. His comedy in his writing cracks me up whenever I listen to his stuff! JayAshBran too, she's really skilled in knowing how to land a line perfectly on a cartoonish level and I absolutely fucking love that!

I love the type of story driven audio rps that you can just have a good laugh at while listening to it. I feel like more people should incorporate that into their audios because it's a lot more enjoyable than the usual waves of sterotypical boyfriend/girlfriend audio rps. Like I kid you not, some of these audios genuinely have me grinning like a fucking idiot and it makes my day.

A movie about lesbian vampires is my kind of movie

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?

The future plan!

Yo tumblr peeps!

There have been a lot of audios stories that have been left in the back by myself due to certain constraints (VA availability and the fact my career keeps me insanely busy)

Thought I'd give you a little update

The next Atrocity script is finished

The next yandere werewolf script is finished

Once the VAs involved (who have busy lives) are free to record their parts, these stories WILL return.

As for some of the others. I've brought you War of the witches, Dark, Villain, and small bits of Alpha/jayjays world this year, but it's only been small amounts. I feel your frustrations, but at least you've seen them this year ey.

I will be dedicating my creative energy over the next few months to 2 worlds that have been neglected a lot...stories that are so vast and deserve some time and love put into them.

Beyond the stars and Demon Hunter will be my main focus for a while. I'm excited to progress their stories, and I hope my chaotic community can get behind this too 😌.

Lots of madness to come

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

@spiraledvampire you aren't safe either I did draw you too vampyyy✨✨

Don't mind me. I'm just gonna stay in my obsessed corner gushing over the Atrocity being a good dad in his own way.

@scytheaudio

Waiting for the next Escaped audio to come out so that my brain can absorb the soundtrack and get a new song to fixate on for the next three weeks.

I can't explain it. The songs hit different after you associate them with a scene in an audio.

reblog for a bigger garden :)

I'm not hating on Desmond or anything but I just don't think he should have kept us hanging like that. He literally deleted the comment where he said the release dates of the upcoming videos that he's doing. I don't really think that its too much to say something or inform us about the delay. I get that I'm sounding and acting like I'm entitled to it but honestly don't announce something that won't even be true. Its a d*** move

This was most definitely about V and I support it

People who throw tantrums over morally grey (or morally bad) audio rp characters, audios with dark or uncomfortable themes, or audios with tragic endings need to grow tf up. Audio roleplays don't have any obligation to always be comfy and cozy and make you feel warm and fuzzy. They can be dark, they can be tragic, they can be scary. People who get upset at VAs for performing more emotionally challenging material can stfu. How boring would it be if every single audio was just "Perfect love interest with no flaws falls in love with perfect listener with no flaws, they face no conflicts and don't suffer any challenges. Then they kiss. The end."

This is beyond a lack of media literacy, this is a complete lack of understanding of media in general. There is more than one genre out there in literally every other medium of fiction, there is more than one character archetype out there. Most importantly, none of is real. Just because you're roleplaying in the first person, that doesn't mean you're actually literally living it. It's FICTION. That's not your real boyfriend, this isn't your actual life, and the listener is a character that you roleplay as, not your real-life self. Please, back up and let VAs exercise their right (yes their RIGHT) to free creative expression.

The fact that some VAs have abandoned (or even completely deleted) certain characters and playlists just because brats with zero media literacy make it such a headache to attempt anything challenging should be enough of a sign that it's time for us to grow tf up.

Yapping about Ash and Lexi

Did you notice! In Ashley's depression playlist, every song relates to his relationship with Lexi in some way and his stages of letting her go. When he's speaking to Denny's, the last song that plays before Risk by Metric is A Pearl by Mitski and the order was very intentional. Listen to them side by side and pay attention to the lyrics! You'll see both Ash and Lexi's mental progression play out between the songs.

The previous two songs that play before that (while Denny's is listening to Ash and Lexi through the door) represent Lexi's point of view. They are Don't Speak by No Doubt and Baby Teeth by Flower Face. You can see her perspective through there, and you're meant to empathize with her. It's the first scene where you see that under all her malice and her seemingly unbreakable confidence she is human and vulnerable and filled with regret. You start to understand why Ash had such a hard time letting her go when you see that there's more to her than the antagonistic and manipulative side of her that you've been exposed to. There are layers of unseen complexity to their relationship.

She really was a bad person, but she also really loved him. I might do a flashback sometime depicting them pre-breakup to examine her more. Her downfall came from getting a taste of the feeling that she possessed and controlled him, and enjoying the feeling of pushing the edges of what he would tolerate a little too much. When she loses Ash, she pretends not to care to uphold her image of control, but in private she grieves. When she greets Ash with a smile at the audition, she feels actual pain when he groans at seeing her, but she hides it to keep appearing confident and in control. She's terrified by the idea of someone taking her place by simply deserving what she wants more than she does. She cries in secret to the exact same songs Ash does and checks her phone waiting for a missed call or message from him that never comes. After their breakup, she grows and changes for the better, but it's too late and she still has to suffer the consequences and regret of loss.

Anyway I love Lexi. Partly because I have a soft spot for humanizing the glittery mean girl stereotype, but also because she's so ripe for character work involving becoming a better person just for the sake of it and not because you have anything to gain. She will be back in Thad's series playing a very different part in the story, but still being her iconic self.

This is an oc x canon safe zone.

What do yall know about Hank Miller

Bro when I found out that Hank Miller Audios was an old man I literally dipped so fast 😭

I’m sorry but every time I try to listen to his audio I just see that selfie he posted a while back and now every character he does, all I see them as is someone in there 50s and I just can’t 😭😭

.

I watched Deadpool recently and I thought this exact thing! He'd love those movies for sure

I’m not saying V as Deadpool

but I’m saying V as Deadpool

I'm so happy you're doing okay now! We love you ❤️

I'm not going to be here for long If or when l'm gone l have my reasons and if l'm back what l tried to do didn't work

Binary out.

I turned 18 recently so I feel this so bad 😭💔

bro wdym i wont be a silly little simp forever???? wdym i have to get a job and be a functioning member of society? why can’t i just stay in my room for my life and just listen to audios while drawing or writing?????

I thought we were over the whole "V is abusive" thing omg 💀 people truly have no media literacy anymore

not to cause drama or anything but I HATE SCYTH ASMR! (Tw fictional domestic abuse, and fictional abuse of power)

Hate is a strong word, and my feeling might be a little over the top but, I do wanna talk about some of his stuff. I was a big fan of his when his first V vid was made. I joined the discord and followed all his posts. And then he posted a video that happened to have domestic violence in it, MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING FOR THAT PAST THIS!!!! this vid has the listener character “cheeky” (I will not be calling her that cus that’s is a cringe ass nickname btw) and V, the romantic interest training, then after some flirting (one sided on V’s part, I’ll get into this later) a cargo truck full of scientists drives by! V quickly gets into the trunk and kills everyone in there, the listener character tries to stop him from killing what she think is an innocent person, he kills the guy in front of her, and then throws her out of the car, chokes her, talks about how he’s going to kill her and pin her death on the people in the cargo truck, and then says “how about one more kiss before you go” before letting her go. He then afterwards explains that the reason he killed all of them, was because of some in story lore about werewolves. It’s explained that what they did basically caused a werewolf to go feral and become evil and kill people. So obviously! These scientists who were probably forced by the government to do this, deserved to die! That makes sense! Anyway the moral of this vid was that the listner character should always listen to V no questions asked! I hate this vid for a number of reasons. The biggest one is the number of comments sexualizing and romanticizing the fucking horrible and traumatic abuse this listener faced, even bigger then that was the fact scythe audio fed into it.

The worst comment (trigger warning, victim blaming)

As you can see, scythe not only condoned this behaviour, he feed into it. This comment makes me sick. I accidentally watch this video without reading the description and became very triggered at the video. (this is not scythe audios fault, I must make this clear) seeing people make jokes like “I asked to be choked but not like this” and talking about how the listener character deserved and even enjoyed the attack was and still is repulsive.

The relationship between V and the listener character was also extremely abusive, but it was always shown as loving, or something like that. The listener has to stay with V and basically do whatever he asks (including kissing and I assume sexual favours) or be tossed to the streets to be picked up by either the evil shadow government or the actual government. Both wanted her dead. So, she’s trapped staying with a man who threatens violence if she doesn’t follow his every whim, who sexually harasses her daily, who diminishes her trauma, and who treats her like trash, just so she doesn’t her tormented and eventually killed. My issue with this isn’t the fact he’s an abusive ass hat, my issue is that instead of giving him any actual character growth, V was given orphans. He was made into an adopted dad to a shit ton of orphans cus he has ZERO REDEEMING TRAITS OTHER THEN HOT. Scythe audio must have realized this guy was his money maker and realized he had to make this guy actually redeemable if he wanted to have him to keep Marlon him money. Anyway it was unconvincing cus right after introducing the fact there were cute kids in the equation, he dropped the domestic abuse.

Another thing, less about the videos and more about how he interacted with fans. His discord sever had rolls for age! They specifically had one labeled “16 and under”, now, I’m not against having minors in asmr fandom spaces, but having minors especially such young ones in a sever he made? It just felt like a weird choice, especially seeing as he had and still has, and I’m going to say it bluntly, porn up on YouTube. Now you can say “but the video said 18+!” We all know that has never ever stopped a minor from doing anything. With this said, a large amount of his fandom was under 18, I’ll give him this, I don’t think i ever saw Scythe interact with an under 18 fan, but he knew they where there, he knew they watched his content. And yet knowing this, he wrote stories that glorified domestic abuse as a way to teach your partner how to fall in line he wrote stories glorifying the horribly toxic relationship that was V and the listener character. This type of thing affects kids greatly, especially if they have no clue it is abusive. Even in the video with the domestic abuse the description says “this may be triggering to listeners in regards to domestic based violence” not “Trigger warning, this video contains Domestic abuse!” It says it more like “it’s kinda domestic abuse, but only if that triggers you”

In Redacted, the description will always tell you what to expect. “Gaslighting, manipulation, toxic relationship” he will make sure you know that a toxic relationship is toxic, he makes sure your aware that the abuse shown, isn’t love. The most scythe does is say “well V is a villain! He’s not a good guy!” And yet her tries to make him redeeming so people like him.

Now, I get that this was over 2 years ago, scythe audio could have totally moved past this weird glorifying abuse thing, who knows! I mostly wrote this as a vent cus my friend reminded me he existed. Anyway if you made it this far have a nice day. If you where or still are a scythe fan, tell me what you think of all this (without being mean please) if you happen to be scythe himself block me I don’t want you near me. Anyway have a nice day!

V's long hair is making everyone feral and I feel the exact same

Hi.

Are you sick of me yet?

WELL TOO BAD-

In honor be me looking at the picture of V’s new design for a concerning amount of time…

I’ve come to a realization.

What’s realization you might ask?

ITS THE FACT THAT I WASNT GOING INSANE WHEN I THOUGHT HIS HAIR GOT LONGER A WHILE AGO

Let me show you the progression:

Baby V:

We’re standing at a nice ear length cut

Emo phase V:

Is that hair past your ear👀🫣 (literally never thought his hair would grow past this, BUT I STAND CORRECTED)

The V that is making me lose my shit :3:

We’re very consistent with the bangs. Props to you dude

Also: I have no idea if this is just the art styles or not, but I like the transition in the look of his magic from the stone.

HAOSBWLABJSHQJSIXHJSBD

LONG HAIR V

OMG

since the reboot of prince desmond’s playlist is coming up, i hope desmond (the creator not the character) keeps the tigress as a character or at least still makes the listener character’s values and personality the same/similar to the tigress’ !! imo you rarely see listeners, like the tigress in the old playlist, have her type of personalities/values.

the only ones i can think of is darlin from redacted and the intern from escaped audios iirc

.

This! Sometimes I feel embarrassed that I like audios because they aren't more mainstream and then I talk about these stories and I realize it's just like I'm talking about characters from an anime or book so there's really no reason to be embarrassed at all.

Id love for audio roleplay to be more mainstream. It would bring more liseners and creators to the scene so it would produce more content and it would probably help normalize it as a serious medium for storytelling

people when audiobooks: 😚😇🥹🙏❤️❤️🥳😁😆🤩

people when audio roleplay (pretty much the exact same thing): 😟🤮🤮😱😱🤯🤯🤯😥😥😰😰😤😤🤬🤬

Im sorry to say this but…I was always doing hourly (if not) daily check ups on Desmond asmrs channel and I don’t mean only his yt.Im talking I checked his yt,his twitter,his Patreon and I even checked tumbler to see if anyone posted any fan fics.But I stopped checking on anything cus I just know I’m gonna get disappointed.I know he has been posting some updates lately but it still takes him so long to upload part 2‘s of his series.For example his big daddy catty series.He stopped the chapter at the most mysterious part and is making us wait for part 2 now and I’m not having it.

This isn’t supposed to be a hate comment on him if he sees this,it’s just me saying what we are all thinking.We love him but he’s starving us for too long and I know I’m not the only one thinking this because his views have gone from 1M a video to 100k

.

So is it only Albus that doesn’t know how to read or do ALL bastards not know how to read?

NO MEN ON NEW TENNESSEE CAN READ.

Not just bastards, not just Albus and/or Devlin, ALL GUYS!
