So, unfortunately due to the struggles of college and life in general, I fell pretty behind on a bunch of series, so the past week (EDIT: MONTH. IT'S BEEN A MONTH. FML.) has been spent catching up on them...
WHICH MEANS WE'RE BACK TO THE AUDIO RANTING.
Thoughts on FernVA, Escaped Audios, Scythe Audio, GBAudios, Obsidian Lantern, ZsakuVA, and Nora ASMR belowwwwww, heads up for spoilers-
EDIT NUMBER TWO: this turned out way longer than I thought lol, please be warned- I started this May 18, idk why it took so long to write-
Tag list: @saintsympathy (hello milady, as promised, anddddd you're next-)
FernVA: Break of Dawn Episode 5
MY GOATTTTT, MY GOAT HAS RETURNEDDDDDDDDD! I'm so serious, anytime I see a "Break of Dawn" notification, there's an instinctual gasp-
Not it starting with a message to mom aaaaaaaaaaaagh
Kalamos I'm with your mom on this one, lol, I think you want it to be more than professional XD
Look I know we had some issues with Mortallous in the... other universe... but I'm kind of agreeing with him here-
PALI MY OTHER GOAT-
IDK GUYS I'M WITH MORT ON THIS ONEEEEEEE-
Obsidian Lantern: Stuck in the Rain with your old High School Bully, Finding out your Friend is a Vampire, Legend of the Black River Monster
Bro I'm so behind on Obi, it's not even funny.
Soooooo... Sky's looking way more human since the last time, lovely- (really hoping if the reversal continues, he won't have any negative effects- you know like IMMEDIATE AGING, PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY STYLE-). YOOOOOOOOO, WE GET VAMPIRE LOREEEEEEE!!!! Omg I love the explanation of mirrors, that makes a ton of sense- and the info about the different descendants is super interesting. AND THE TEETH- Oh, that's what they're going okay then, I hope the patrons had fun- (*gnawing at the bars of her enclosure*)
THE NEW MERFOLK IS FINEEEEEEEEEE OMGGGGGGGGGGGG HE'S SO CUTEEEEEEE ALSDJFLSADFSADF;ASLDKFJSDF- and figures we first meet him by crashing lol- Ookay, so we should tell our dad to find a new job- soon- HIS. MERDESIGN. IS. SO. GORGEOUS OMG. David's my new favorite, I'm sorry Zef, he's so PRETTY ALKSDFJALSDJKF
Finally, FINALLY WATCHED THE NEW RAY EPISODE GOSH. Oh, it's the season finale... that's fine... Aw he's so sweet... Ehehhhhhhhhhh, I had to deal with their drivers the other day with mom :D (the drivers here just do NOT CARE-) ... ARE WE DEAD?!?!?! WE'RE NOT DEAD THERE'S STILL THREE MINUTES LEFT- The Feyrealm............................ Ray said his name used to be Blackwood. I FUCKING KNEW IT, EPISODE 2 OF THE LOST PRINCE AND ORIN'S TALKING ABOUT THE BLACKWOOD FAMILY AKLSDJFLAKSJDFLASDJF ARE WE CROSSING OVER WITH THE LOST PRINCE AND CAN RAY IN FACT CAST FIREBALL-
Escaped Audios: Wolfsjäger and My True Love is Dead
I really hate that when it comes to finales now, I'm side-eyeing Escaped so hard-
MMKAY, IT'S A TEAR-FREE FINALE PRAISE- Once again, seeing the parallels between this and Matador Gothic... Scythus seeing the sun and Bernhard waiting under the moon for both of their endings. Glad these two are together finally, also clever move with Jager coming up with the story on the fly, BUT YOU BETTER FINISH IT NOW- also seriously, what are we going to say to the CIA about this-
I'm very normal about the Ace of Blades trust- Demon Candy is going to catch these handssssss, FFS WOMAN- We need to get Basher's body back, I can't with his head being carried around by Slash- So what kinda consequences we talking about- Please leave Candy, PLEASE- wait I forgot about the bomb- OH THIS IS GREAT NVM- I was so involved with this, I legit said, "IT'S OVER??" when the credits started playing XD
Nora ASMR: Monster
Okay. At this point, whenever this boy despawns for a couple of months you KNOW something is cooking. Whether the meal is going to be flavored with the salt of our tears is to be determined-
I DID NOT EXPECT A TWO-HOUR LONG MOVIE TO COME OUT OF THIS HIATUS THOUGH. WHAT THE HELL-
The cast was amazing, as was the story. I know the effort that had to have been put into this was IMMENSE, but he killed it. I loved the bits of world-building he put into there as well, like the vampire community for example.
With "I Am" and now "Monster", Nora's experimentation with this medium is so exciting to see, and I can't wait to see what else he comes up with. ANDDDD, he's finally done the required vampire and/or wolf character audio every VA seems to do XD
Scythe Audio: Carnival of Chaos, Succubus, The Super Villain meets The Advocate
And as always with Scythe- *staring at the wall while listening* "... what the hell is happening-"
I completely FORGOT how completely unhinged and out-of-pocket Carnival of Chaos is- the slander on multiple fronts had me covering my mouth and clutching my pearls omfg- NEVER let me hear Scythe parody a Twitch streamer again, I'm BEGGING-
COLEEEEEE, THE MANIAC EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR- It has been a WHILE since we've heard from the War of the Witches gang- honestly when I first saw the teaser I thought we were gonna see Incubus and Cole dealing with each other, not the Succubus listener. I was happy to see Incubus in the audio though, the way he and Succubus care for each other was soooo sweet to see. And once again, hope the Patreon crew had fun with that one...
AND WE FINALLY GET THE FULL BONUS AUDIO FOR THE ADVOCATE FOR FREEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAA- first NJR 1.5 and now this, we're being fed. Not Cheeky having more influence on this universe than I thought before......... and there's a bit of whiplash to see just how much hers and V's relationship with each other has progressed over the series. I missed that shady dickhead XD
ZsakuVA: The Best Friend, Lonely Siren, The Bonded Vampire
Saqu's cooking. And I'm so so SO excited to see what he's coming up with. Also wishing him the best, wishing him health and rest. Thank you for everything you've created and given us, your majesty.
Kind of had a feeling Tristan wouldn't last very long, but it's still a little melancholy to see him go. I loved the friendship between him and Gumpy, and I'm gladddd he got out of that relationship- definitely going to miss that boy.
SYLVAIN IS SOOOOOO CUTEEEEE- I really like how he's a bit more of a creature than the other mythics we've seen from Saqu so far. I wish him luck on his ventures with the Captain, though, hopefully the pirate life treats him well- But please. Introduce him to cooked potatoes. Now.
... Finally reached the end of Xanthus's story. We went from Love being cornered in an alley by him, to learning about their bond, living with him and meeting Dontis, gearing up to take on the Trimedian, getting tortured by the Trimedian, managing to escape... I can imagine it's been a wild five years with him for some of the Crumpets. I'm glad that Xanthus is willing to tell Love more about his past after their encounter with Audric. Hopefully, he'll also be able to heal and he and Love can live with as little worry as possible. I am still devastated by Dontis's sacrifice- I'm still really hoping he's out there somewhere. IT ALSO REALLY HURT WHEN XANTHUS MENTIONED TELLING HUNTER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED UGHHH. Definitely one of my favorite Saquverse series, amazing work.
GBAudios: Dragonslayer, Bastards vs Zombies, The Official Timeline
I was UNAWARE OF HOW WRONG I WAS ABOUT THE TIMELINE WHAT THE HELL-
Glad to see Serius and Cairo's relationship improving....................... somewhat. Seriusjustsayyou'reinlovewithabastardforgoodnesssakeomfg- I do wonder which clan Cairo's from, but I'm sureee it won't have any mind-bending conclusions .w.
SO. AS FOR THE OTHER BASTARDS. Glad Doctor Mahatma and Doctor Zombie are officiallllll~ AND HIPSWITCH CALLING KARMOR PRETTY OHHHHH I DREAMED ABOUT DAYS LIKE THIS- Devlin and Albus you freaking idiots I love you both but AUGHHHHH- I'm so glad Dev watched the camera recording and he finally talked with his brother. I can't believe Albus is leaving though ughhhh... I'm gonna miss him, but hopefully he'll be back soon. Or he just stays alive- please- GBA put down the bricks PLEASE- ALSO ROSEMARY KINDA FINEEEEE, why are the BvZ women so HOT UGH-
The timeline. If you had asked me, I would have guessed that Fourseen was the first, followed by Dragonslayer, AND THEN Magic of the Heart- not BW and BvZ. .......... upon further reflection this makes way more sense why Makkaro reacted that way when he spawned in Springrock............ what is gonna happen-
Excellent food from the Storytellers as always.... Slowly getting back to my audio devouring, there's a couple victims that I've got lined up .w.
Also I really need to get back into writing fanfic, UGH-
