Let's Talk ASMR!

Where I talk about certain character series and just what makes them interesting to me.

There might be more than one part of this, IDK, but for now - let's bring up the first subject of interest.

Anigomi's OC: The Class President - Warren!

Uh, I'll be bringing up spoilers for all three current parts (12/26/2023) so if you wanna go watch them - you should. The first part is at THIS LINK HERE.

Both he and the listener characters are both well written and compelling. They are apart of the same major at the same school: he seemed to take notice of them a bit into having that same class - he akso has a friend that lives in the same dorm as them. But they really don't know him that well.

The rest will be under the cut.

First: Characterizations

Warren can be described as a bit arrogant; it seems like he's looking down on people with the way he speaks. But it's more so he seems aware of his best qualities and what he's good at so it can be seen as such. He also has trouble voicing his emotions and this point in particular is a source of conflict.

The listener is generally a good student that somewhat struggles with the way they're being taught in classes. They also don't react will to being teased and are high empathy. It should be noted that they don't like playing mind games and unless whoever is speaking to them isn't straightforward, they don't understand and can misconstrue actions and behaviors. They could be interpreted as neurodivergent because but it's more so up to you if you share these traits.

(While I relate heavily to the listener in question, I cannot ascertain if I myself am neurodivergent.)

Part 1 - "Kiss and Tell"

Their relationship doesn't start that well off. As a way to get them to notice him, Warren confronts them for being at the music building after curfew hours - which is against the rules. In exchange for not informing the higher ups, he says he'll keep quiet if they'd go on a date with him.

He pointedly pokes fun at them while they're already upset and doesn't at all endear himself to them. Specifically on how they cpuld easily feel like he's dismissing their anger/downplaying it by calling them cute.

It also isn't made clear about if he had feelings for them. He's nice enough to walk them back to their do because it's late so I assume that might be why the listener decided to show up for their date.

(It is pointedly also a study date at a coffee shop)

Part 2 - "Brewed Awakening"

The date comes and it doesn't really get much better. Like the first minute in and he referred to their tastes in beverage as "basic"; which probably wouldn't be seen as an insult and more as a ribbing but it can be still kind of hurtful. He also heavily judges where they picked to sit in the shop, again just making them feel like their choices are bad.

They again aren't endeared to his percieved "arrogance" as he said he'd be choosing where they sat next time.

The next few minutes are barbs and backhanded comments about their intelligence, potentially making them feel frustrated and responsible for bring the class average down because of the low grades they have. He wamts to help them improve and clearly understands they have trouble processing the information bring taught by their professors.

He also makes it a point to scold them for being forgetful that this was a study sate as they didn't have their textbooks and had to sit beside him to share them.

He knows this because of looking at the notes from the Teaching Assistant... Which is against the rules - the listener realized they could use this to show him how they felt about being essentially extorted. But he again beats their feelings down, making them feel cornered again. Discrediting them by stating that as class president, they'd believe him over them.

They also are pinned with physical proof in the form of cameras.

They visibly flustered again, not because they're embarrassed but because they're frustrated and upset. Of which he again calls them cute and tells them he planned to continue saying it - knowing that it bothered them.

They are blushing though, as he's still good looking and they're still attracted to him.

He goes onto to laugh at them for being disappointed that it felt like he wasn't going through with the feelings they thought he had. They also had to push him to promise to not make fun of their grades when he asked for a test paper to better understand what they needed help with.

More backhanded compliments happen, comments of how stressed and upset they are about tests. All of which could be seen as him making light of how they feel.

Also expecting payment for all the help despite them clearly not wanting or asking for it. He asked for another date but they quickly shot him down, likely not really wanting this type of situation to occur again.

So he asked for a kiss instead. As he didn't specify where, they gave him a peck on the cheek. Seeing if he was willing to ask directly...

Which he didn't. Instead asking what he had to do to get one, that being they had to pass their next test.

He did end up asking to kiss them as opposed to asking for a kiss from them though. Since he asked out poking fun or anything in return, they were more willing to give him as he was direct.

He also clarified that he didn't mean "basic" in a bad way as he tasted their drink on their lips.

Part 3 - "Fool Me Twice..."

Warren comes upon the listener being set upon by three others; of which were extorting the listener with photoshopped images. Intimidating the three into leaving and giving up the photos... He stopped the listener from leaving too - as they had been avoiding him since they passed the test. Seemingly failing to understand how similar the situations were.

He wanted to know why that was the case as they had aced the test he helped them study for. It wss very likely they felt as if having his help on this exam meant everything disparaging he said about their intelligence was correct.

I interpret the dialogue as of the listener asked gim why he was really so concerned about them avoiding him.

He does bring up the fact he'd asked them on a date and asked for a kiss, assuming it would be obvious to why. But is immediately taken aback after finding out that they believed he shot for them because they were "easy", of which he admitted that initially- he did believe that was the case.

Just confirming to them what they thought his intentions were, it's not helped even after he tells them verbally he liked them - kissing them and asking them out. They genuinely thought he really was just using them for their body.

It literally pushed them to tears. He wasn't clear at all from the beginning and it came back to bite him, he still isn't great with voicing or explaining how he ferls.

They test him to see if he'd be honest, asking him to tell them genuinely without any pretenses what he liked about them. Only then willl they consider accepting. They're saddened and disappointed to hear more backhanded compliments and nothing directly towards their good qualities; as it sounded as if he was calling them both plain and naturally unintelligent.

They call him out on this, for not being sincere. But he doesn't seem to understand why it's hurting them.

The listener gives him one last kiss to thank him for saving them. Of which brings things full circle as he says that what they did was bad and that "he had a line"... They pointedly acknowledged that what he did was the same thing.

He asked for one last chance. Being as they didn't hate him and want to see him do better, they consider it.

(You can find me in the comments in this part blabbings about what made me write this.whole post.)

Conclusion

Warren needs emotional maturing amd is still a good character in writing. I want to see him be better and communicate with the person he likes, reflect on how his actions and behaviors could be looked as negative. It's the lack of self-awareness that is hurting him and his relationship with the listener.

He also needs to understand that their thinking is different not only in schpolwork but outside classes as well. The listener needs open, direct communication - someone as emotionally mature and intelligent enough to not play mind games.

I applaud Anigomi for their writing because damn, this really hit home for me.

Hey there! Are you a Redacted fan with a shifter oc/sona? I'd like to maybe draw them!

Something I love doing with story-based media is putting my own twists or ideas on the canon worldbuilding + ✨️lore✨️. I was listening recently to one of Milo's audios and he mentions them traveling "up north" for the Solstice celebration, so naturally I went "hrmmm..".

My funny lil sona (Fen Warren) is part of a large shifter pack up in northern Canada, who I imagine host massive social gatherings for friends and allied packs (+ friends and partners ofc). So, I wanna draw one of these big Solstice parties! But I need some shifters (and pooossibly just moonbound/FL) ocs to fill the crowd! If you'd like me to possibly include them, please rb with some kinda ref or shoot me a dm!

(Fun fact: their property becomes basically a 'summer camp' for young shifters during the summer months >:) thank u, frank, for seeing my vision)

Spoilers for the summit

Oh gods this is going so bad

Vincent’s first ever time hosting and he was already so stressed about making it alright and now someone fucking died and not just a someone the fricking KING of the house of Bennett died. someone please save him my guy is about to have a mental break down

I actually quite like Porter. He’s quite the enigma and this video jsut made me confirm it ever more. You never know when he’s gonna be an asshole or genuinely helpful and it makes him so interesting. Ultimately tho all his intentions are done for good (or just a little chaos to Vincent).

I’m gonna choose to believe he started that fight with Vincent to distract the other monarch from what was happening and keep the solaire name clean. Most of the solaires were on the floor watching the fight there’s no way they could’ve been the cause of Bennett’s death. Was it stressful and just lowkey cruel to Vincent? Yes and I do hate him for choosing to fight about that but at the same time I get it yk

And asher, I was so happy to see him finally facing his self doubt and stepping into his role as beta and making bigger decisions but oh my gods the worst thing possible to could’ve happened happened.

I’m going to choose to believe sweetheart is alright but if they aren’t…the first ever big decision he made and this how it ended oh gods someone please give ash a hug and reassurance

Speaking of which I love the scene where asher tells David his decision and David just asks ash to look at him. It’s such a beautiful touch that the both of them know each other well enough to just communicate by eyes. And just by looking at him David can see the determination and surety through all the anxiety AHHH I love their bond ㅠㅠ

On a lighter note I totally called Lovely getting a crown. The moment Vincent said he had something for us I knew instantly 🥹🥹 we’re officially royalty now folks

[ohmrcrow]

Idk why but I felt this comment on a spiritual level

[free-boundsoul]

Sooo...do you think William partly invited the Shaw pack because he knew Sam was bringing Darlin' and he didn't want them to be the only wolf invited to this fancy smancy party? Like I know Sam said he didn't invite them just to be nice but like...idk I can just see William actually caring if Sam's partner is comfortable or not.

I've been watching a lot of asmr/ similar quiet and gentle content to help get ready for bed, and mostly I stick to cake decorating and dollhouse making, but I've been trying to branch out.

And I think tonight I just found my new favorite video.

You know all those cursed mobile game ads for teeth cleaning games? This is like the polar opposite of those. It's just under 30 min long and it's so soft and cute and the noises are so stimmy, and I was absolutely motivated to brush my teeth after watching this. I'm definitely gonna check out more from this channel bc I honestly love it already.
