Going back to my roots

Hm? Oh nothin, just the roster of my favorite ASMR-ists

Insert @goodboyaudios peekin around the corner (I could not fit in into the SS)

david shaw was such a fat baby yall

gabe just carried around his mini-me with one of those baby carriers on his chest

david’s fat little cheeks being constantly poked and prodded by every pack member

(i can’t get over that gabe shaw looked at a lil fat baby and was like “yeah this guys name is david”)

huxley was also a huge baby

i hc both his moms being on the shorter side so here they are carrying around his HUGE ASS BABY

he def outgrew his moms by the time he was a middle schooler 💀💀

Audio horror podcasts are just those boyfriend scenario asmr audios but the scenario is

“bf is being moistened up while tied to a chair and gagged” or--

"bf is being beat to death with metal pipe" or---

“bf is having his legs severely broken by god” or, best of all, "ex-bf is trying to convince you to let him kill you so he can gain the power of time travel and not kill you".

"And there's alot of whimpering"

Like, Yagami Yato could NEVER

----

Sadly, Tmagp doesn't have any boyfriend ASMR yet but my tmagp bingo board says "bf is tangled in wires while trying to fuck with the haunted computer and is being electrocuted" asmr audio and I will never be able to play it in public ever.

Bonus: "Bf gets sent to 'idk spain'" scenario asmr

POV: You ask David to put his werewolf stamina to use somewhere else other than the gym

We've gotta do something about these YouTubers "reacting" to audio roleplays as cringe material. It's so fucking stupid, it's a form of narrative fiction. If you want to have a valid opinion on it you have to actually fucking listen to it. I can't stand seeing YouTubers open a video, listen to ten seconds, "react", then skip around the audio and listen to another random ten seconds then skip to another audio and do the same.

This would be like if someone made a video called "reacting to novels" where they opened a book, read five sentences, made an exaggerated face for the thumbnail, then skipped to chapter 15 or opened another book and did the same thing. It's actually ridiculous.

Reaction content fucking sucks already. But taking long form media and chopping it into 20 second random pieces to quickly "react" to for cheap content is unbelievable. Most of the people doing this shit don't even seem to have a clue what audio roleplay even is. Like halfway through the video they'll pause and ask "Oh, are the pauses me talking?". Or they'll make this shocked face and be like "uhhh, is this guy supposed to be my boyfriend?" when they jumped to like the 14th video in a slow burn romance series. Holy shit just either listen to the actual audio or shut the fuck up.

Maybe it's just me but as a general rule I won't talk bad about anything or anyone that I haven't learned enough about to give a fair chance. It's actually so fucking annoying.

Can I get some angst recommendations? Particularly if it's part of a longer story-based series. I wanna cry.

Audios that have made me legitimately cry:

Space Pirate Saga by Good Boy Audios The Neon Barbarian/Neon Wings duology by Escaped Audios

Audios that have almost made me cry:

Lullaby 3 by Scythe Audio Chronus Seven by Escaped Audios (again) Inversion by Redacted Audio Finding a Fallen Star by Vik Lendvay

“What do I have to do to have you make that noise again”

CASEY AHHHHHHHH

GBA breaking hearts since… forever it seems.

LIKE WTF DUDE I CAN’T???

big boss des

I finished the Cam drawing ‼️‼️

Aaandd the line art (without the horns)

I love him

More EA Spoilers.

Guys I’m slow. In my last post I said he was sick- I had to re-listen to realize this mf is HIGHER THEN A FUCKING KITE😭😭

And now im trying not to laugh my ass off about it since I have family over and I cannot wake them up by laughing😭😭😭

i’m so glad laskos recent audios have been about him stepping up in the relationship. ik his whole appeal is being submissive and breedable but tbh constantly having to reassure someone can be EXHAUSTING so i like how it now seems to be mutual and lasko and dear/coworker can be each others rocks 🥲🥲🥲

I kinda just joined Tumblr in the middle of my BW and MotH obsession. I drew Faithful from BW. and will probably draw other characters when I find time :)

What can I say? There's just something about Gavin that glows✨

I have a headcanon for my newest Gavin design that the womb tattoo he has is either a glow in the dark tattoo (because I really want glowing womb tattoo too) or is actually a part of his physical form and either way, he has one and I feel the people should be enlightened on that so

Grouchy rant/Audio roleplay pet peeve: I lose it when a character's description based on exposotion/backstory doesn't actually align with their actual on-screen actions. This is especially bad with Listener characters because a lot of VAs/writers just don't know how to write Listener action, or neglect to let Listener characters interact with anyone other than their love interest.

It's so aggravating. A character will be like "This is my fiance, Demon-Stomper 9000 (but I call her Pookie). She's stomped a hundred demons and she's gonna stomp a hundred more. Sometimes I've gotta be like 'woah Pookie, you've gotta stop stomping so many demons, you might hurt yourself'."

Then when a demon is actually on screen Pookie is just like 🧍‍♀️

On my soul, give the Listener some *flavor* and let them DO SOMETHING. On screen! It doesn't even have to be in action scenes, like just for fucks sake show don't tell for once. It's very much possible within the realm of audio roleplay, it just takes a little bit of thinking and a couple of sound effects. Trust me, you'll accomplish more characterization with five minutes of them actually doing something than you would with a hundred hours of expositional backstory.

This happens with speaker characters too, and it's awful. The title of the series will be like "Mafia Boss: Criminal Chronicle [Strangers to Lovers]" then in the actual audios the mafia boss never actually commits any crimes or involves himself in anything illegal and doesn't even talk about crime. He just wears expensive suits and has a really deep voice.

Quick rule: if the audience could listen to the full length of a mafia audio and not be able to tell that the character was in a criminal organization, you didn't make a mafia audio. You just didn't, idgaf what the title says. Image watching a whole episode of the Sopranos without crime being mentioned even once. It would suck. Same with werewolves, vampires, or whatever other trope is getting abused this week.

IDK why this is such a problem in the audio roleplay medium compared to every other medium ever. We've got mafia bosses that don't commit crimes, we've got werewolves who don't turn into wolves, we've got pirate captains who don't commit piracy, we've got vampires who don't drink blood, and we've got yanderes who don't, uh, yander. It's out of control. Just commit to the character type you said you would write in the first place.

This was way longer than I intended it to be so TL;DR: Show don't tell still applies in audios, Listener characters can and should take an active role in the story, and please PLEASE stop marketing your characters around tropes that you neglect to actually write into your audios.
