The Redacted Audio Confessional - Inbox Closed

You may call me, the mod, Priest (they/them) Read rules in pinned post before sending in confessions! Confessions are on a queue!

[anonymousredactedconfessions]

COME ONE, COME ALL, DEAR REDACTED FANDOM!!!

Need a space to get your opinions out in the open? Afraid of backlash or drama on your own blog? Do you have a secret little fantasy about any one of the channel hotties? Stray headcanons in need of a home? Need to get something off your chest without needing a response back?

You need not worry, you have found the place! All you must do is abide by this blog's rules.

✨The Commandments✨

All confessions must be on anon. You may make an alias to identify yourself/your asks (examples: "butterfly anon", "ducky anon", etc, etc). Confessions accidentally sent off of anon will be privately sent back to you and you may resubmit them on anon if you so desire.

No mentioning other Redacted fandom goers by name/URL. We vague-post here. (Positive recommendations by name are an exception!)

Confessions containing bigotry of any kind will be deleted.

I will not be providing responses nor adding my own opinions to confessions.

Confessions that i deem overly aggressive, antagonistic, defamatory or inflamatory will be deleted. This applies only towards other people, like specific anons or people with certain opinions within the fandom.

NSFW confessions are accepted and will be tagged as "#the sinniest of sinners"

Do Not censor words in confessions. Type the entirety of the word as is, no euphemisms. Doing so only circumvents filtration and moderation settings, putting more people at risk of distress and desensitization. (It is not “sewerslide” or “s*icid3”, its “suicide”. It is not “grape” or “r4p3”, its “rape”.)

Confessions must be related to Redacted Audio in some way, be it about the fandom, the videos/content, or the Redactedverse at large. As much as i wish i could accept any confession from anyone in this fandom, i must limit the subject matter as to keep this blog manageable.

Rules are subject to change in the future if necessary

Now go on, child, confess your sins.

@anonymousredactedconfessions it's been 40 years...

[anonymousredactedconfessions]

It has, but i don’t think im quite ready to be able to run this blog again yet.

Without giving much detail, life is stressful and im not really at a point where i can put “getting death wishes over a fandom confession blog” back on my plate right now.

I want to come back and run this blog again eventually, and i will, but for now that date remains nebulous. Thank you for your enthusiasm for my return though, it touches my heart 🩷🩵

I understand that representation is important and im not tryna be like “oh no they all need to be white” but there are certian character i see with designs as non-white like so frequently that i feel bad when i dont see them like that

Examples that come to mind; milo and huxley, i dont see either as white but i dont see either as black either but i feel like if i say “oh i dont see huxley as black” someones gonna come for my knees

Obviously, headcanon what you wanna headcanon but let people have their own opinions, some of your skulls are so thick that as soon as someone says “lasko/david isnt #000000 white” and/or “huxley/milo arent black” you little freaky ass keyboard warriors come to defend YOUR headcanons like suddenly your erik and what you say is gospel

am I the only one lowkey sick of seeing men complain that more of the fandom content isn’t catered to them specifically? like not to be invalidating but all the titles say 4A for a reason, the fandom is going to draw in different people — including those who aren’t men.

sorry that you feel a bit invisible in this fandom, but try not being a man in a predominantly-male space. I guarantee you you’ll be fine seeing a little more diversity. (trans men likely understand this better, so this is less about y’all lol)

I hate how hard it is to find masc listeners. like every time i go to find a masculine listener design all i find are really feminine ones. like i get that people can design the characters however they want, but it's still a little frustrating when i spend what feels like an eternity searching through so many listener designs and coming up with only a small handful of masc/androgyneus ones while the rest are all fem

Erik please update the timeline /j

I’LL do it for you man PLEAASEE

yall seriously don't get it...NOBODY IS HATING ON ROLEPLAY!!! I've seen maybe one person saying it's cringe and weird, but the rest of us dgaf. If it's fun for yall then great! Cringe culture is dead have your fun. But it's FLOODING the main tags. The main tags are basically unusable because of the amount of rp accounts posting and responding to anons. And it ain't only rp accounts misusing tags, pretty much every character tag you go to every other post isn't even about the character anymore. "Well IM not affected by roleplay accounts you guys are just big meanies🤭🤭🤭 you listen to boyfriend asmr anyway!!!" Baby that responde is not the slay you think it is...

[anonymousredactedconfessions]

Because of the dislike of female listeners in this community. I have been so scared to show of my designs tbh

.

[anonymousredactedconfessions]

I feel like a lot of people are in this fandom when they don't even like the content, because there is a *lot* of complaining about how the plots are going or how the characters act or whatever else

Maybe I find it strange because I just don't consume media if I don't like the plots or characters even if I used to really like it? People of course have the right to express opinions and such but also, people seem to forget that they can just not watch it if they don't like how its progressing? Nobody is forcing you to stay in the fandom or forcing you to watch the videos lol

this isnt rlly but also in based off a specific ask, more so one that just prompted a question:

https://www.tumblr.com/anonymousredactedconfessions/772659454021877760/this-is-so-long-but-i-completely-agree-with-that

do yall actually enjoy porter for what he brings to the redacted lore table?

i haven’t been fixated on redacted in a while, so i’m rlly going off what ppl say about him, but this last ask (above) is rlly making me think about what if he was just not put into the storyline or even existed.

what does he add/take away from the vampire storyline that yall like/dislike?

i genuinely wanna know!

— 🌱 :3

(off topic, i went to my tag cuz i forgot my label and this ask is not me!! idk who tf that is but like i would never say that 💀💀💀 https://www.tumblr.com/anonymousredactedconfessions/746958833461641216/lasko-is-overrated-as-well-gavin-i-said-it)

Based on that latest Vincent & Porter video, Sam's the type of person who would talk down on you when giving advice.

🤢🤢🤢

What a gross, icky man.

It's such a struggle being a fan of underrated characters. David and Sam lovers are always fed, they couldn't handle a day in the shoes of an Avoir stan.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE BALANCE AND PROJECT MERIDIAN I think Erik is really good at opening interesting plotlines and introducing interesting plot twists, but it feels like he never knows where to take them or how to conclude them. Most of the interesting plotlines he opens either go nowhere for huge amounts of time, or just stop abruptly.

I'm still waiting to see where Sweetheart's investigation of CloseKnit goes and it's been over a year since that was introduced. Carpe Deus just kind of went in circles forever before the plot finally started moving again. Blake's whole arc with sunshine felt interesting at first, then they were just in that basement for like a year with the plot progression suddenly cutting off and going in a totally unrelated direction when Blake almost randomly decided to feed himself to a Shade. Same with Project Meridian, all the twists and story advancements just stopped mattering when he slammed the book shut and said it was all a dream, and that the real plot was actually something completely different that he explained through exposition. It felt like he didn't know what to do with the possibilities he set up and he just dropped everything to be rid of it.

There's also a million loose threads out there just dangling. Some characters (mostly Shaw/Solaire characters) get involved in high-stakes plotlines and then just seemingly get amnesia about them and live life like nothing happened for months or even years. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to dictate how he should tell his own stories, but I wish he'd consult with other people sometimes.

Porter needs to be wrapped in a fluffy blanket, given some tea, and a lot of hugs.

.

[anonymousredactedconfessions]

I dont get people who are getting pissy over people saying “OMG AVIOR MPREG!! AVIOR MPREG” people actually cant handle a joke, do i like mpreg??? No! Do i think the jokes funny?? ALSO NO. But no need to get your fucking nickers in a twist because someone dares to compare it to pregnancy just because YOUR uncomfortable about it
