How it felt learning that Redacted asmr wasn't random asmr one-shots, but had deep lore and multiple stories interconnected:

I think one of my most unpopular redacted opinions is that I think the ending of Project Meridian was great. Yes, I get it, the "it was all just a dream" trope is overused and sucks, I hate it too... But I don't even think it really applies here. I think people are a little too hung up about hating that trope, that they don't really consider why it doesn't works. Usually you have a story that introduces a world, the characters and some kind of threat and then the climax of the story is suddenly snatched away from you, because the character wakes up and oops, it was all just a dream. Nothing was real! Nothing actually happened! You just wasted your time getting invested in something the main character immediately shrugs off, because it was just a vivid dream and nothing more. This is not the case in Project Meridian at all. The characters still exist, just in a different context The world is still the same And the threat is also still real and relevant. The ending didn't make listening to Project Meridian a waste of time. And Dreamer didn't shrug is off either. I'd argue that it wasn't even JUST a dream. What dreamwalkers go through was always described as being a lot more than just a vivid lucid dream, but an actual experience. To Dreamer all of this actually happened. I understand that some people are still upset about the ending, because they wanted to see where Assets story would have gone, which is fair. But I'm personally glad that it ended this way. I absolutely loved Project Meridian, but I always thought it was really weird to have this world that, apart from the whole magical aspect, is like the real world, in real time. But then there's this random semi-sentient robot walking around for some reason?? And we know that there's no magical explanation for how Asset could even exist. We know that items cannot be imbued with magic. It was just random crazy advanced technology that is not reflected anywhere else. It never really fit. Also, I didn't really like that it was yet another character involved in saving the Meridian. I think that storyline already has enough going on with the entire Staccato crew. So I thought the ending was a great way to make Project Meridian actually fit into the rest of the world, while making none of it irrelevant and keeping Asset/Dreamer as a character. And I think it was executed perfectly. I'm actually kinda sad that not more people see it that way. Or that a lot of people are trying to separate Asset and Dreamer, pretending like they are two different characters, when I think that living as Asset is such an integral part of who Dreamer is.

Ok, y'all are going to have to fully hear me out here:

Now that Dreamer has gotten close to the maam gang, I want to see them pull away, hard.

If you think about it, a lot of the things Dreamer went through were violations of their safety/trust.

They felt safe in that park, they trusted their sister, trusted themselves. Then the park became dangerous. Their sister couldn't help them, and they couldn't help themself.

Then, in a way, they put their trust in the department, to handle Quinn, to make them safe again, to help them protect themself. But Quinn wasn't captured until much later, and only after being pressured by other people. The department couldn't do anything more then tell them why they failed and wish them well.

Then out of desperation, they put their trust in Marcus. I think at that point they gave up on safety and just threw themself into anything that may make them safe again.

And he violated that trust. Because that's what it was, a violation, an assault.

I don't want to see them just be over that. We know they are struggling with what happened with Quinn, we've seen that they are starting to trust their new friends, but I don't want that part to be erased. I want them to realize how close they are to being vulnerable and for that to scare them.

I want them to ghost the boys, avoid them and do anything for separation. Maybe a part of it is even based on them blaming everything that happened on themself and thinking they don't deserve to heal and move on.

They are getting vulnerable and I want that to scare them.

Which listener Calls to you the most? I’m just curious which ones the fandom most relate to.

For me, it’s dreamer/the asset, hands down no question. They went through something that was incredibly traumatic for them for a lot of reasons that not a lot of people acknowledge, but when they go to McKinley they hide behind a mask of fake smiles and sometimes abrasive behavior to strangers, and then ignoring the trauma until it’s too big to ignore.

That hits home for me and my personal experience.

I also just love Corvus, Lincoln, and Theo.
