Hello-hello, dearies!

As of today, your [insert gender here] is officially 21 years old!!! It's hard to believe how the time has flown since I started this channel, how much has happened during my time making these videos, and how much has happened because of what I do. So many of you have made this one of the happiest parts of my life, and I could not be more grateful.

So, to celebrate, I will finally be making another Q&A video after all this time! This video will be recorded on Friday, April 11th, so if you'd like to ask anything, please leave a comment on this post by 11:59pm EST on Thursday, April 10th! And who knows? I might enjoy a little drink before getting to work! Though I won't be indulging as much as Commander Pixis, it might be enough to make me a little silly, LOL!

Hello once more, dearies!
I am pleased to announce that I have found a way to keep myself active on the channel despite the current burnout I am dealing with! Although I still love recording, I'm struggling to get into the mindset needed to create stories for the time being, so I think it's best to give that part of my job a little break. Then I can come back with new ideas and new motivation to make more fun storylines!
In the meantime, though, I will still be able to help you sleep! At least once a week, I'll be uploading lullaby/soft song videos with a soothing echo effect, similar to the lullabies I include in my specific sleep aid videos! This will allow me to continue producing content intended for sleep aid and comfort without sacrificing the quality of my stories while I wait for this bout of burnout to pass!
I know this is a bit of a change of pace, so I'll understand if it isn't for everyone, but I hope to be back to making my ASMR stories before long! I cannot thank all of you enough for your kind words as I've shared my current struggle, and I hope that you will enjoy this new chapter while it lasts! Sleep tight now, dearies!

For those who have followed my content for a while and who know the messages I convey in my content, this post should come as no surprise to you. As much as I wish to be the bigger person and take the high road, I say the following things with nothing but due disrespect:

If you voted for Donald Trump in this election, unsubscribe from me.
If you voted for a non-viable third-party candidate, unsubscribe from me.
If you have every ability to vote and simply CHOSE not to, unsubscribe from me.

If you have done any of these things, you have fueled a hatred for me and the people in my community who have been struggling for basic human rights for decades. If you have done these things, you are no longer welcome in my community, which I have cultivated to be a safe space for people like me. If you have done these things, you are part of the reason why I will likely not be able to post my usual content for months while I work to get someplace safe in preparation for what is to come. If you have done these things, you have shown that you see me and a good amount of my community that we are not human beings to you.

So, with all due disrespect, get the hell out.

And with nothing but love and hope, to all those who are like me and will have to fight even harder to exist in this world, this will remain a safe place for you. I will forever be thinking of you and praying for safety for all of you. I am so proud of all of you for being here, and I hope that every single one of you will find a way to be safe as our country changes. I love you, dearies, and I will keep you updated on the future of this channel; even if it takes a while, I am going to come back to making content for people like us. May all your dreams be sweet in the meantime!

Hello again, dearies!
My apologies for disappearing for so long once again. I did not quit, nor do I plan to. I'm afraid that in addition to my frequent physical illness lately, I've been struggling through a really rough patch with my depression. It isn't anything that poses a risk to my safety, but it's made it almost impossible to do a lot of things in my day-to-day life, including coming up with the storylines I love creating for all of you.
It seems to be easing up now, so I hope to be able to resume uploading soon! In the meantime, thank you all so much for your patience. I hope you're all having sweet dreams and staying safe!

Hello-hello, dearies!
I had really hoped that I wouldn't need to make an announcement like this, but it seems that my fits of illness just aren't easing up. The support that all of you have given me while I've been waiting for these flare-ups to stop has been amazing, and it has made me feel so much more at peace while trying to rest. But I got sick twice last week, and my symptoms are still clinging to me, so I need to begin looking for options to keep making content while I wait for a.) the symptoms to stop, or b.) my doctor's appointment to discuss a hopefully permanent solution.
I am never going to quit making ASMR as long as I can help it, and I have no intention of giving up roleplay ASMR altogether, but my vocal work will have to be put on hold for the time being if I want to continue making content to upload and make a living off of. So, while I continue to be unable to use my voice, I want to know if any of you would be interested in some content featuring classic ASMR triggers such as fingernail tapping, and typing on a mechanical keyboard! It would be a big change from my usual content, but again, it is really about making sure I can still do my job without my health being too much of a factor. And as soon as my voice stops dying on me, I will get right back to my favorite content: the kind that leaves you all crying or begging for the next part XD
I just wanted to throw the idea out there to see if it might help you all sleep a bit better while I can't use my voice; let me know what you think! Again, thank you all for the support you've given me and for making it so much easier to let myself rest while my immune system turns against me. I love each and every one of you, and I hope you're having sweet dreams!

Hello once again, dearies!
I seem to be running into a spot of rough luck these days; I had a short period of wellness before getting sick yet again, as well as having some rainclouds hovering over my head. I'm still not quite sure what's causing these bouts of illness, but it doesn't appear to be doing any severe harm, just causing deep annoyance and hindering my ability to alter my voice properly for videos. In light of this, it's likely that there will not be any videos uploaded this week, but I am hopeful that I will be able to record again soon! On the off-chance that this absence lasts a while, just know that all is mostly well (if it isn't, I will make a separate update)! I hope you can enjoy the rest of my content and content from other creators in the meantime, and if you want, feel free to ask questions in the comment section of this post for me to answer! I am quite bored of not being able to work, so it would be lots of fun all around XD
That's all for now, dearies! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding; I hope you have sweet dreams every night!

Today marks the five year anniversary of my channel. Five years of anime impressions. Five years of improv in my room. Five years of fluff, angst, and twists to make your head spin. And, of course, five years of sobbing and making out with my hand in my closet in order to get the proper sound effects. XD
After five years of making content for all of you and myself, I find that my creativity has grown thanks to your suggestions and the series I have created. I find that I am inspired to create more, and I have new goals to work toward. And I want to share these new creations with all of you!
Starting this evening, I will begin uploading a new series of videos on a monthly basis (perhaps more frequently in the future). In this series, I will read short stories I once wrote for class assignments, as well as new ones written in response to prompts I find on Tumblr (links will be provided in each video's description). These videos will be uploaded on the first Tuesday of each month, in addition to all of the anime/book content I adore making.
The end goal of this new series is for me to finally write (and finish) a book that has been in my head since 7th grade, then narrate it to upload. It features Alenia, Celine, and Clarisse—three original characters I have shared on the channel—and nothing would make me happier than to show all of you the world they live in and the winding paths they take! Fingers crossed, though, because I am terrible at actually writing my passion projects. XD
Anyway, end of babbling!
I cannot thank you all enough for your support over the years, your suggestions for new adventures, and your endless encouragement whenever I was facing obstacles that left me unable to record for a while. You are the reason I have kept all of this going, and I have loved every minute of it. So, here is to five years of what is essentially auditory fanfiction, and of course, to several more years to come! 🥂💞

Hello, dearies!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? As some of you may have noticed, uploads in the last three weeks have been quite sporadic, so I wanted to hop on and give a quick rundown of the situation.
In the last three weeks, I have had three sore throats complete with complimentary fevers; this last time, I went to the doctor about it and confirmed that it isn’t anything serious like mono or strep. I’m on some meds now, and they’re working—slowly, but better than nothing!
I’m not sure how uploads will look this week, but I am eager to get back to the Pride audios I planned (they will all be uploaded, even if it spills over into July, so no need to fear!). Until I’m able to record and upload again, I just want you all to know that I am so grateful for each and every one of you, and I cannot thank you enough for your support. And remember, no matter the gender you identify as or the gender you’re attracted to (if any), you will always have a safe place here. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Slight switcheroo with the schedule this week, dearies! ASOT Armin will still be happening on Friday, but today will be ASOT Miche Zacharias. Thank you so much for understanding, and I hope you enjoy!

Good evening, dearies!

I had an idea a while ago, and after some careful consideration, I feel it would be fun to put it into action!
For those who don’t know, I have a TikTok account under the same name as my channel here on YouTube. Since I now record videos by sitting rather uncomfortably in a tiny closet, I have been unable to film Q&A videos for quite some time. But since it has finally registered in my brain that one can respond to TikTok comments with short videos, I have a solution for this!
If you would still like to ask me a question that I haven’t answered yet, ask me to say something with a specific character’s voice, or see Momniac and me getting attacked by a bat, then pay a quick visit to my TikTok! Even if you don’t have anything to ask, the bat is definitely worth it!
