#zsakuva confessions

[lil-binuu]

this is quite true, sometimes i feel under pressure to write or post anything for my followers and other crumpets, but at the end of the day i remind myself that this is all just for fun and the reason why i’m writing it in the first place is purely just to explore my creative ideas and share them with a supportive community.

sometimes sitting back and just enjoying it is best, but when you have the time and the energy (or maybe you only need the idea to motivate you) then you can be free to have fun with your imagination.

it’s also really interesting and special to see many peoples perspectives on things, how they interpret the audios, the fiction, the characters, and together we make a wonderful community of ideas and stories (and talent because why is every crumpet out there so full of talent omg) which can be enjoyed and appreciated by everyone.

not to mention the wonderful creator, who not only makes unique and fascinating stories and characters, but also creates such a refreshing and welcoming community who support each other.

i have to agree, the engagement is crazy and can definitely be overwhelming sometimes - but the important thing is that we enjoy the freedom of creativity and expression and share it with each other. <3

Venturing the world of ASMR audios is such an interesting ride. I've been thinking about trying it out but as an ASMR Reader where I read stories in a softer/more soothing voice to help people relax. Something that really fascinates me about ASMR audios is the communities that grow from them. Being in ZSakuVA's community has treated me well and everyone's been so kind. I have no negatives and I'm thankful to not be surrounded in toxicity. However, I'm not sure I can carry the same amount of energy that The Crumpets (that's the community name) have. With all the fanart, fanfics, memes, and AUs popping out left and right I wonder how they have so much energy every day! It's like trying to keep track of a ton of kittens at a Cat Cafe or something! I like to partake in a little fun, but I'm also just there to observe, create, and take in the good vibes. This community is a very creative bunch and it's something you have to see to believe. I like to call it.....chaotically sweet.

Okay, so.......Surprise?.......😳

I saw this was getting some attention and decided it was time for me to come clean. In all honesty, I knew about these anonymous confessions and I wanted to post something that I had been feeling for quite a while. Not too much. Not too little. I'd be lying to you if I said that I wasn't the slightest bit nervous. My heart was racing and my hands were shaking writing that! I meant every single word in that text and I do feel more inspired to get more creative with my work. Okie dokie....well, now that my honest words are out into the public, I'd like to take this moment to say...... stay true to who you are and always stay creative! Also, Happy Birthday to me! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!❤😊🎂

Not ZSakuVA pulling me into this fandom by the fucking hair with the Zaros audio. I wrote a fanfic, 6k words, it's lil angsty. based off of @why-me-marti lil post about a ball and Zaros asking listener to dance again. I am DESPERATE!! for Zaros content. and since he's so new i figured no one will really do a fic with him. honoured to be the first <3

Kinda similar to the person who’s dating someone like Kayson irl, I like a guy who’s kinda similar to Isaac 🥹

He’s a mama’s boy, kinda serious but also sweet, and only really cares about a small amount of close people 💗

I think I manifested him thru my love for Isaac’s character LOL

i think i know who this is hehe~

go get him then!!!! i’m rooting for you~ there’s only so many guys like that out there hehe

To the anon asking if there were other boyfriend ASMR/audio roleplay channels with plots at least on par with Redacted, you're in luck! I mostly listen to plot-driven stuff so here's my recommendations.

Good Boy Audios: He has multiple series, all of them take place in the same universe but in different settings. His romance is a lot more slower burn than something like Redacted but that's fine, because I like slow burn and the plots keep me hooked. I recommend Bastard Warrior and Space Pirate Saga.

Escaped Audios: Super cinematic channel with a very strong focus on storytelling. He has a good balance between adventure and romance, and his playlists perfectly blend the two in almost every series. All of of his series feel like living through a movie. I recommend The Neon Barbarian/Neon Wings if you like bittersweet romance/angst, and The New Jersey Rats if you prefer a more light-hearted romantic adventure.

ZSakuVA: Priest already mentioned him but he's great. He has tons of characters who each have their own playlist. Some of his characters occupy the same universe and share the same story, kind of like what Redacted does. I recommend listening to his Elias (mafia son) and Issac (boss) playlists back to back, they complete eachother's stories and I love the boyfriend stuff.

Desmond ASMR: He uploads on a really slow schedule but all of his videos are super long and well made, almost movie length sometimes. I love his voice and his characters, and there's always an element of adventure in his work. I recommend his arranged marriage series and his gladiator series.

Siren's Son: He's kind of like Redacted in that a lot of his work takes place in a shared universe and there's a mix of both plot-driven arcs as well as fluff/comfort/boyfriend roleplay arcs scattered throughout. His Westhaven series is one of my comfort series that I re-listen to over and over. Also, honorable mention to Obsidian Lantern. Siren's Son and him collab together on a series called Gator Boys set in SS's universe and it's great.

Scythe Audio: A super exciting channel. He has romance/boyfriend roleplay but he's more of a story and action focused channel (we love him for it). I love his fucked up monstrous and villainous characters. I've been obsessed with his V/Villain Saga for like two years now and it just keeps getting better. I also recommend his Werewolf action/horror series, The Alpha Claw Saga.

Nomad's Tales: He's been around a long time and has a huge body of work with really entertaining series. He's just now starting season two of his series Frosthaven so it's the perfect time to catch up! I also like his Yandere Knight playlist and A Theif's Tale (a modern romance/thriller).

Those are the best story driven boyfriend ASMR/audio roleplay channels I know of. If anyone has more recommendations I'd love to hear them.

(usually don't respond to confessions and whatnot, but i will say that you should probably NOT support Siren's Son. He has made it very clear that he is anti-choice/pro-forced birth/anti-abortion/pro-life whatever you wanna call it. I wouldn't be giving youtube revenue money to someone that thinks half the human population doesn't deserve or have a right to bodily autonomy)

Receipts below the cut.

ZSakuVA is SEVERELY underrated. For his unique creativity and world and character building as well as the amount of work that he puts in every day for his stories, he is very underrated. His asmr roleplays focus primarily on the story and this way it allows the audience to get to know the character in depth before he brings in any kind of romance into the roleplay. The depth in which he writes character is CRAZY. he puts so much into every single audio and honestly I feel proud of how much he’s achieved and how much he’s grown as an asmr creator. Saku is SERIOUSLY talented, and while he isn’t a small creator at all, it’s still shocking that he’s not massively more popular.

Not only his work, but he is so freaking kind and genuine with his audience. He interacts with his community so much and has inspired and reinspired so many other artists and creators. His community (crumpets) is full of extremely kind and talented people like himself, and i love them for supporting him and everyone else because it’s not something you see everyday.

He really deserves the world and although I am a complete internet stranger, I wish him all the best. <3

I love Zaros (VSaku character) so much because there’s actually a listener who has emotions and can be kind of a shitty guy in general. I feel like it’s one of the first series I’ve seen where the listener isn’t just standing there watching things happen. Also Zaros doesn’t just act all dumb and excuse the actions. He calls them out, tells them to stop, etc. doesn’t let a bad person walk all over him. He also needs to work on his shit a little bit and I love that both get character building

[audioroleplayconfessions]

Call me crazy but Im absolutely dying for someone to make a twisted possesive/yandere fic of Isaac Rhoades from Zsakuva. I don't care if that trope is cringe or fucked up that man has 100% got that side to him AND I NEED IT 💔💔💔💔. "I'd be happy to keep you locked up in here if thats what it took" HE'S CRAZY, I KNOW HE IS, please someone develop that idea into the filthiest fic I'm so desperate and need more Isaac content 😓.

[audioroleplayconfessions]

Okay not to be an absolute loser but I found out my friend's middle name is Elias and the MOMENT I found out, I unfortunately got whiplash. Kid you not I stared into that man's soul, looking like a bum because I forgot that Elias is an actual name

So yeah use me as a reminder to go outside and touch grass because...

I saw a couple of confessions of lesbians saying that they like listening to M4F/M4A and I honestly don't think that's weird. I'm a straight cis male and I primarily enjoy M4F audios. Desmond ASMR, Escaped Audios, Saku, Scythe Audio, and Good Boy Audios are my favorite VAs just because I love their stories and I enjoy roleplaying as their characters even if they aren't tailor-made to specifically appeal to a straight man.

There are some F4M and F4A VAs I like (WhatGiraffe and Shiaides are great) but I really enjoy audios with big stories and most stuff made by female VAs are fluffy one-shots or continuous fluff of the same character with no real overarching plot, where most of the really good plot-based stuff is made by male VAs who write their own scripts.

IDK why that is. I'm not saying I only listen to male VAs out of desperation either, I'd probably be open to listening to them anyway if the story was good enough.

Is it just me or it happens with everybody!?? When i really like a audio character legit everything reminds me of them whenever i see a motorbike i go oh "Elias!" When ppl talk about vampires i think of xanthus 😭

[audioroleplayconfessions]

Some people talk about VA’s in such a strange way. Particularly with that one ZSaku submission… that is a grown ass man who you do not know, why are you calling him a ‘good boy’ for taking breaks? 😭😭

This has been constantly on my mind the past few days and I've been doing some self-reflecting as of late.

Do I need to keep putting emojis in my posts? Do I need to keep putting in gifs when they're not needed despite the fact that I often put in one or two (or more)? I'm not a child, that much is clear, but do I come off as childish? I look at my Tumblr page and look at all the cutesy stuff I post such as MLP, Sailor Moon, Winx Club, etc. and while I do love those shows, the fact is they were intended for young audiences. I mean, look at my OC and my hand-drawn art! It looks like a little kid could made it in a heartbeat! People often see hand-drawn art as childish because it's not digital paint. Digital art is used much more professionally and that's understandable. Do people see me as childish? Maybe I should make some changes? I should do more to ensure that I take things seriously? I'm sorry, this comment just had me thinking a lot, that's all. I do admire and appreciate everyone who is a part of the ZSakuVA Crumpet Community no matter what posts they make and all the creative things they do. I'm just wondering what I could do for the future, you know? As a writer/creator, it's important for me to wanna do better rather than always stay the same.

[audioroleplayconfessions]

ZSakuVA is so cute and lame! He always entertains even the most trivial questions and is patient even when the question asked is so confusing and formatted badly. In his streams, he sounds so cute when he talks and eats his grapes pretzels or whatever, his hiccups I can't, his laugh and his scream when he's REALLY surprised while playing, the humor that he has that comes naturally, and his sappy self in that one stream. And his little excitement when he's trying new stuff like his Vtuber stuff. He is so lame when he answers with :)'s to things he can't share yet, when he uses smug emotes in live reacts, and when he refers to himself as a God or something or when a concept comes out of the other side of his ear, clueless! He made good audio stories even fits in things he advocates, this little world that intrigues me, has a nice look, has interesting perspective on things, and he is so caring to his fellow content creators. Ugh, I have to get it off my chest HAHA. I admire him so much and I continue to learn from him!

I’m a little confused by the ZSakuVA community’s use of gifs/pics

A lot of the posts of the community on here have off-topic gifs or pictures of some cartons or something that I really don’t understand. Like it’s not a meme and has nothing to do with the rest of the post so why add it? Makes it look like they’re all very young.

I think I have a crush on saku? I have his patreon and it occurred to me while watching the horror game stream just how fucked i am? I know it’d all parasocial wnd one sided ofcourse, but god; I love that man
