Today is 6 Years since I uploaded my first video, "Hiding in the Bathroom on New Years" 💜 making ASMR changed my life forever, and I will be forever thankful for this journey!

Even though it has been years since I have made a video, ASMR is something I will always hold dear in my heart because of the kindness and love it brings to us all, and I hope that the videos I uploaded have still brought people joy these past six years. (and I hope I can once again upload soft and silly ASMR videos soon!)

Happy New Year, and thank you again for six years! 🎧

Hello! After much thinking and two years of having it on pause, I have decided to officially Unlaunch my Patreon!

When I first started in 2019, Patreon helped me on my feet as a creator. I was able to afford an art tablet, and a better microphone thanks to everyone's support. However, the pressure to create videos monthly increased, and I burned out on video creation altogether. People expressed disappointment, even anger at me for not uploading new videos. It's been over 2 years now since I last uploaded a video.

As I slowly work on creating videos again, I've decided I'm not comfortable simply unpausing Patreon and charging people monthly again as I did prior to 2021. I wish to avoid this level of burnout ever happening again. As such, I have made the decision to unlaunch Patreon.

I want a fresh start. As such, I will be having all my old content publicly available on YT. This includes the two private/exclusive videos I made: Bully and Medic. I will also look to making the MP3s of my audios publicly available for download (once I find them on my old computer...)
While I feel like my old work is no longer representative of my personal standard, I'm always sad when a video I love gets delisted, so I will leave all my past ASMR RPs up and available in case anyone still enjoys them while I work on new videos!

I will still be creating all the past Patreon Poll video winners. I love the ideas and want to give them my all, and work on them slowly at my own pace!

Thank you to everyone who supported me via Patreon, even if it's been years since you pledged. I don't know where I would be without that initial kindness.

Vivi. ☢️💜

P.S. I've been working on improving my art all these years! see pictured. Slacker Maid!

Today marks 4 years since this channel first started 💜 a lot has changed since then. And while I may still be on hiatus from creating ASMR RP videos, I am always, always grateful to this day, my friends, Gemini, and Rose, and where the adventure began. Because, it changed my entire life.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding, no matter how long. 💜 Here's to even more fun!

Happy New Year, and thank you for 4 years! 🚀

Hey! It's Vivi of vividlyASMR, writing from the sunny shores of hiatus-vacation-land, to say thank you for 60k on YouTube! ❤️

It's been over a year since my last video, and taking a step back, and remembering what I first enjoyed about making silly ASMR videos has helped heal my burnout, little by little. Thank you for your understanding and patience, and for cheering me on!

I've been active on Twitter and streaming Live ASMR on Twitch, but I understand if that's not your thing!

Today marks 3 years since I began my ASMR channel alongside my friends, Gemini and Rose. 💜 So much has changed since then, and while I may have taken a year off to heal my burnout and pursue live ASMR + variety content on Twitch, today is still a special day that I think back on the day and the decision that changed my life.

I'm looking forward to returning and making videos the way I made them back then; silly and free, and at my own pace. 💜 And, I'm looking forward to another year of fun with you.

Thank you for your support and kindness, no matter how long. 🚀 Happy New Year, and thank you for 3 Years together!

So I've had more than a few comments from people... thinking I'm dead? 😨

Well, I'm here to say no, I'm still here! 💦 This past year I've been VTubing over on Twitch, working on restructuring how I create content and, generally learning how to take things at a pace that's more comfortable for me. As such, the Patreon has been on pause this year, and won't be reopened until I am releasing videos again/reworked the tiers.

I'm currently working on a few ASMR videos, and I hope to have one released on a very special day for both myself and the channel, fingers crossed.

Here is the previous YT community post for clarity on why I stepped back from making videos, in case you missed it and are confused about the extended hiatus. ⬇️

I really enjoy livestreaming/VTubing and have made many wonderful friends and memories this past year. I'm still having viewers stumble into streams who had no idea I was streaming, so I figured I'd make a community post just in case there were any others who were unaware/interested! ✨ I stream live soft spoken/whispered ASMR (and yes, there is a lot of opportunities for requests), digital art, and video games!

HOWEVER, I understand that livestreaming/VTubing content isn't for everyone, so feel free to just keep a casual eye on this space for future ASMR videos! 💜 I hope that you're in good health, and that the upcoming holidays treat you well!

Today is my 29th Birthday! 🎉 I'd like to say thank you if you are still following the channel, and thank you for being so patient with me while I work my way through my ASMR burnout this year. I know it's been a very long wait. I have a few videos in the process of being made, and I'm really looking forward to when they are done!

Please be sure to take care of yourself. 💜 Thank you for being so kind to me during my 28th year on Earth!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give a l'il update on the hiatus, as well as to say thank you so much for 55k subscribers! 💜

While I know it's been many, many months since a new video (please refer to my previous community post for the details), and I can't guarantee when the next video will be, the burnout has begun to lessen with the help of streaming and taking things slowly. I have begun feeling up to doing thumbnail art again. I've recorded some lines for collaborations with ASMR friends. Basically, I've begun having fun again, and I am so, so glad.

Going forward, I am going to prioritize my mental health to avoid future burnout. Videos will be released when I am up to it, and hopefully this means they'll all be of a quality that I am satisfied with. I have paused the channel Patreon until I feel comfortable updating it again, and in the future may look to either closing it entirely or revamping it with less monthly pressure on myself.

On that note, I've posted an image for a video I'm working on! I'm very excited to bring back one of the channel's most beloved (and lazy) characters, and I can't wait to revisit her! 💜🧹 I'm also working on some other thumbnails as well that I can't wait for you to see.

If you'd like the occasional update on video work, I have a Twitter where I post things I'm working on (as well as general daily nonsense), and a Twitch where I work on art, play games, and do live ASMR!

Hey, long time no see. I hope you've been well.

I would like to apologise if my absence and lack of uploads caused anyone any concern. I can't lie to you and say I haven't been avoiding making a public post about where I'm at because I don't like being a negative force on your community feed. 🙇‍♀️ I know that this channel is a source of amusement or comfort to some.

Toward the end of last year, I suffered major creator burnout. I did my best to hide it because I had received some harsh comments that I wasn't uploading enough. I was dealing with a lot of stress offline due to family circumstances and my own mental health. I wasn't eating. I wasn't sleeping. I cried daily. Making videos stopped being fun for me and became something I never wanted them to be.

So after Christmas I took a step back. I decided to focus on streaming ASMR and games as a hobby to take my mind off things. And I loved it.
Making videos has always been an incredibly lonely process. You write scripts alone. You draw art alone. You record alone. You edit alone. I am a very slow worker, so the time alone feels very isolating.
When you upload a video there is a huge sense of relief and accomplishment... and then a week passes and you're expected to do it all over again. Other ASMRtists must be very strong, because this process has slowly worn down on me after doing it repeatedly for 2 years.

Streaming was incredibly different— suddenly I could spend time directly with the audience. We could talk about what we liked about ASMR, our favourite anime, games, projects we want to work toward, etc. I was getting to know the community in a way I hadn't been able to before. I now use ASMR streams to test out new triggers that I'd like to incorporate into videos in the future!

I recently had to move house, and a lot of difficult things happened. Our new home was infested by spiders and mice. We had lost furniture and equipment that had to be replaced, including my work desk. My partner's new job was a much more dangerous environment, which caused a strain on our relationship. My mental health tanked.
But, with streaming, I was able to regain a small sense of control over my life that had otherwise fallen out of my hands. I was, and am, so grateful.

I have received some comments from viewers who are angry at the lack of uploads. One viewer in particular has taken to commenting on any clips of my streams they can seemingly find that I have "abandoned" this channel for the streaming "BS."
I won't lie and say that these comments don't hurt, because they do. This community has been nothing but kind and accepting to ASMRtists when they make new ventures, whether that be cosplaying, streaming/VTubing, vlogging, etc. I am grateful for everyone who has supported my new love of streaming, and I love being able to spend more time with everyone.

I am not abandoning this channel. I simply can't. Even if making videos is lonely, I still love making ASMR roleplays, and I don't want to stop. However, I do know that in order to avoid another burnout like last time, I need to acknowledge that I am slower than other creators. I cannot push myself to create a video every month. Maybe it will be once a month, maybe it will be once every other month. I want to work slowly and peacefully at a pace that won't burn me out and leave me unable to sleep/eat like last December.

Thank you so much for all of your support, encouragement, and kindness during this hiatus. I am currently working on some new videos, but, as I said, I am doing it slowly. And I hope that when I do release a new video, you might be able to enjoy it.

I look forward to continuing our adventure together, slowly.
Vivi.
