#redacted audio community

[idontevenknow7878]

Hi, member of the bug army here, I have to agree with anon.

I hate to admit it (especially considering a whole lot of the bugs are super close friends of mine), but I get really anxious voicing my opinion on certain gator boys related things & hot takes.

And the comment about all of the bugs being “respectful about opinions” & that being a lie, oh my god you have no idea how much that resonated with me. I am not trying to start ANYTHING with ANYONE, but I do have to agree, of course the bugs are still respectful about opinions & all that, but I feel I cannot voice my own thoughts on certain things that I disliked about Gator Boys without feeling like me having thoughts that are different to others without being judged.

So yeah

Those are my hot takes for all of you to subsequently get mad about.

I'm glad this is a safe place to vent.

I've been very unmotivated to join fandoms lately.

Redacted and Gator boys for example.

Redacted is the most common toxic fandom you think of unfortunately in the audio community today and it's sad because his works are actually really nice but people in there just gave me the "ughh" vibe.

Gator Boys, as far as I can tell, is not a very toxic fandom (from what I've noticed). There are just strange people on it. I have unpopular opinions like: The arena arc came too soon and too suddenly, I haven't gotten as attached to the gators as I'd like to admit. I wish I could say this publicly but I know I will be judged. And then they'll be like "Oh, you don't need to be afraid, we're all respectful" said by someone from the bug army. Please don't tell me that because I know it's a dirty little lie.

It's a shame because I've followed Gator Boys since the beginning and I was disappointed with the direction it took.

Literally every character should have been developed much earlier. For some reason I feel like the bug army will eventually get too big for the fandom itself to control and when someone gets hurt the blame will fall on the creators.

AVOIDANT SEER OBSCURA BC.. it feels right!

They still go to their little meetings with Morgan but they don’t linger to chat with him like they used to. They stop bringing their lunch to eat with him, but they’ll drop off his usual plate. Their texting suddenly becomes as dry as they had been when they first exchanged numbers, and they no longer seek his company in the dead of a hard night. Most importantly, they go from being able to maintain eye contact to avoiding looking at his face altogether. And, of course, that’s the first thing he notices when it starts. Because the Seer Obscura he knows does not do that normally.

One day, Morgan asks that they stay behind a little longer after their appointment to have a chat. Seer Obscura just nods numbly, and it doesn't escape him the way their leg bounces as they sit in his office. "How well do you think I know you?" The question makes their brow furrow and look up to meet his gaze for just a second before looking past him again. "Do you want me to be honest?" "I would appreciate it if you were. But, even if you weren't, I could tell that you were lying anyway." "Ok. I don't think you know me very well." "In what ways?" "You don't know my birthday. Or my favorite color. My favorite animal. Things of that nature." Morgan hums, "You haven't shared those things with me." "I haven't." "Are those types of facts about you something you wish for me to know?" "I.. I don't think I care if you know them or not?" "What are things you'd care for me to know?" Seer Obscura bites the inside of their lip. "I don't understand where this is going." Morgan smiles, but it doesn't meet his eyes the way it usually does. He looks tired, maybe a little defeated. "Just humor me for a second." Seer Obscura thinks for a moment before meeting his gaze another time. "What are things you know about me now?" "Would me telling you what I know help you understand yourself better?" "It would." "Hm... well you take your time with things you say--though, that's something you've expressed to me before. You're unafraid of maintaining eye contact with people, which is why I noticed when you stopped. You haven't been sleeping lately, you've yawned all throughout our session today, and the ones we've had earlier this week, another bout of insomnia?" They nod. "Right. You don't like to be in your apartment when you're stressed. You enjoy eating foods that are salty and sweet, which means you gravitate to a lot of Asian cuisine. You like to wear chains on your glasses so you can take them off for a long time." Morgan smiles more genuinely at the last one. "That one, I don't entirely understand why. Can you tell me?" Seer Obscura taps their fingers on his desk before responding. "I like the way lights look when they're blurry. It's round and soft. If I focus on it hard enough, I can see the little rainbow effect in the shapes. Kind of like bokeh effects in photography." Morgan smiles wider at their response. "I see, I'll have to try it out sometime." Seer Obscura tilts their head to the side and hums. “I’ve decided I would appreciate it if you knew those small things about me– but I don’t expect you to know them if I don’t tell you. I also find the things you currently know about me to be more meaningful. Thank you for noticing them.” He sighs and pushes up his glasses. “It’s hardly anything to thank me for…I guess I’ll tell you what the point of this was.”

"I bring all of this up because I know that you're avoiding me. You're trying to be subtle about it, and I can appreciate the effort in that, but I suppose I'm a little confused by it." His eyes look down at his desk, the smile on his face becoming strained once more. "Truthfully, I'm a little hurt about it. You don't have to tell me every single detail about what you're going through-- but I would at least like to know if it's something I can help you with." Seer Obscura frowns, their bouncing leg stopping abruptly. "I... I've realized something about myself that I'm not ready to confront. Mostly because it's something I've never felt before, so I have no idea how to navigate it." He hums. "Have I done something to offend you?" "No. You're very considerate about what you say and I would tell you otherwise. That’s something I know how to navigate." "I'm glad to hear it. Can I ask you something else?" "Yes." "If I asked you honestly about your feelings, would you tell me?" "I would lie to you. It would be easier for me to try and lie to you." "Why is that?" "Because you said you can tell when I'm lying. I feel more comfortable telling you a lie that way." He sputters out a laugh at their honesty. Seer Obscura smiles shakily in tandem. "I guess it's really serious then." "It is. Can you ask me now? I’m quickly losing my courage." He gives them another quiet nod. It takes him a minute before asking. “Do you have feelings for me? Romantic, I mean.” "Ugh, it's still hard even when I want to lie." Seer Obscura groans, bringing their hands to cover their face. "Take your time." They can hear the smile in his voice when he says it. There's a shakiness to his voice too. A minute passes. Then two, then another three.

"No, I haven't developed feelings for you. It hasn't been something that I've been struggling with. I'm not afraid of what that means for our future. Our status as obscura has no weight on how deeply afraid I would be if I did have feelings for you." Morgan lets out a deep shaky sigh, as if he had been holding his breath the whole time. "Okay." Seer Obscura hides their face once more, the lump in their throat growing bigger. "I feel the same way." They pause before uncovering their face completely. “Wait, what?” Morgan sputters at their confusion. “I mean like– uh… I reciprocate your feelings? In the way you’re struggling to say honestly. ” He laughs and slides a hand down his face. “Oh, God, we’ve made this so complicated. What I mean is…I would like to be in a romantic relationship with you–If it’s something you’re interested in.” Seer Obscura stares at him wide-eyed for a minute. Their unwavering stare returning in full force.

“I want to tell the truth now.”

Morgan gulps but maintains a smile, nervous as it may be, “Feel free.”

“I would like that too.” . .

. . . "Your favorite color is purple, your favorite animal is the moon jellyfish, and I know your birthday was last Monday, by the way." "Pft, I should've known you knew all along. In hindsight, you never confirmed to me that you didn't." "What can I say? I'm sneaky that way."

Remember this? Yeah, well autism is a drug and I am hooked/j presenting once more for y'all to see, Casey Laveau, my redactedsona who has now crawled in my brain, enjoy

[copsecore]

i love the idea of one of the DAMN crew (probably Damien) finding out that d(a)emons cannot reproduce with humans and taking that news as a silent announcement that Gavin and Freelancer hit it raw every night.

Bonus points if he (Damien) gets lowkey jealous of that idea because goddammit he wants to do it raw with HIS boyfriend too, and then Huxley finds out why he’s so mad and just laughs his ass off about it.

(inspo somehow from @grilledcheezy92 and the post about redacted vampires)

tumblr i put FREAK in my blog title, WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FIND GOD?!

[milogreer]

fwiw i think before anyone gets defensive it's important to know that whoever messaged erik did so respectfully and they shouldn't be antagonized for voicing their opinion as someone who is (presumably) paying for patreon. there's a reason patreon allows patrons to message creators directly

i’m going through withdrawals (none of my favs have posted anything in like a week)

Damien / Huxley Headcanons

[In no particular order]

✩ Huxley’s love language is gift-giving - He constantly brings home little trinkets and little things he finds that remind him of Damien or that he thinks Damien will like

✩Damien feels guilty when Hux does grand gestures because he grew up in an environment where there wasn’t money to spare for those kinds of gifts and there’s a part of him that worries he doesn’t deserve it

✩Even though he doesn’t move much in his sleep, Damien still somehow has awful bedhead

✩Damien loves holding Hux’s face when they have heart-to-heart emotional talks

✩Damien has a favorite pen that he takes almost everywhere - he has had to replace the ink more times than he can count

✩Huxley can’t make eye contact while he’s talking - he can listen while maintaining eye contact, but he looks away the second he opens his mouth

✩Huxley has one specific spot where he digs holes in the yard

✩When they cuddle before bed, Hux likes to trace paths between Damien’s freckles/moles with his finger like they’re constellations

✩Damien almost always wakes up first and wakes Hux up with forehead kisses and backrubs

✩They slow dance in the living room at least once a month

✩Dames gets tension headaches

✩Huxley has ridiculously long and beautiful eyelashes

✩When he’s stressed, Huxley has Damien lay on top of him for deep pressure therapy

✩Damien has a 12-step skincare routine - Huxley used to wash his face with Dawn dish soap but Damien has since convinced him to use a real cleanser and a moisturizer

Ive been posting YV fanart so on a related note about the asmr/audio rp creators-

Its kinda wild how no one seems to give af about how many of these creators are using uncredited or AI generated art in their videos.

Considering how much (deserved) noise theres been when someone reuploads or steals these creators own audios and how i can only imagine the same people would react, if their voices were taken to make a AI version of it that was then used to make whole new videos, You would think theyd understand how disrespectful it is as another kind of creator to have your work taken without credit or permission.

Seriously, your content centers around AUDIO, do you need the AI generated frankensteins monster anime boi in your video that bad?

Or is the content YOU make just not that good that you have to rely on somebody elses to piggyback off it?

"credit to the artist" doesnt magically give credit to the artist.

"If you know who the artist is lmk so i can credit them" Im sorry, why is it now your VIEWERS job to do what you were supposed to BEFORE YOU USED THE ART IN THE FIRST PLACE?

"AI generated art" is literally just images made by scraping nonconsenting artists work.

Theres so many ways to go about getting graphics for your video that are perfectly fine and dont require you to steal somebody elses work so legitimately I do not understand this fenomenon at all.
