I love everything about Babblebrook: the script, the costuming, the makeup, the set design, the props...I’d recommend it to any fantasy fan.

Storytelling in Visual Media: ASMR

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), is a fascinating popular video genre that seems to have transpired because of modern Internet culture. ASMR is described as a pleasant tingling sensation that begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine that is triggered by sounds. (Link). Triggers are different from person to person and some don’t even experience ASMR, but many use the sounds as a way to relax.

The creatives of this community, called ASMRtists, make videos with sound triggers such as doing makeup, giving scalp massages, reading stories, and talking softly. Many ASMRtists do roleplays, wherein they portray a character, either already existing or of their own creation, and act out a short scenario that weaves in different triggers. This short sketch-like style has brought forth a new form of ASMR that incorporates a narrative.

The ASMRtist Goodnight Moon, in her fantasy Babblebrook Series of roleplays, has created her own world and characters that she continues to develop in each new video. Her characters range in personality; in some videos she portrays a haughty witch, in others, a chipper shopkeeper. In many of these, sounds are layered together to create a believable universe: squeaks of different animals, beads clinking together, and drums in the distance. Goodnight Moon even brings 8 of her characters together in a two-hour long video, all a part of a festival roleplay (Link). The videos in the Babblebrook Series have millions of views, with the most popular, “ASMR Maybell’s Menagerie: Dragon Egg Shopping,” currently at 2 million.

Much like music, radio and television, Goodnight Moon and other ASMRtists are able to create characters and worlds using sound. Their use of ASMR as a relaxing sound component gives a new perspective to worldbuilding in visual media.
