Fools!Freelancer who just becomes confused at the thought of their weird friends joining together or hanging out:

- Their situationship with an introverted and sweet incubus

- Their quiet and softhearted fire-elemental sports captain

- Their delinquent earth-elemental stoner buddy who’s weirdly philosophical

- Their rude air-elemental teammate who has a weird thing with a member of a rival team

- And their angry little pomeranian-crossed-with-a-chihuahua of an empathy daemon.

"oh no. i think i'm catching feelings"

(this is what i do instead of my very important assignments.

Suggestive near the end, but not descriptive

title from 'sex' by eden)

Freelancer can practically see the steam rushing out of Gavin's ears.

His face is red and his eyes were glaring holes into them. If they didn't know any better, they'd say he was mad at them.

But they saw the way Gavin's lips fought a smile. The corners of them tugging up without his approval, entirely giving away his facade.

They've grown awfully fond of him, and it almost scared them. Almost. No one could really be scared of such beauty, in their humble (and very correct) opinion. And if that didn't convince them, Freelancer would take any and every opportunity explaining how wise, endearing and kind the man in front of them was.

"Are you even listening to me?"

That snapped Freelancer right out of the clouds. They paused for a second, before coming clean.

"Nope. Sorry, handsome."

If Freelancer said Gavin's face managed to get even more red, he would deny it.

"You-" he starts, putting his face in his hands, breathing in and out to calm himself, "I am going to kill you."

If Gavin meant that, he didn't show it. Perhaps one could argue the blushing, smiling and wide eyes filled with adoration were all a ruse to hide his murderous intent. If that was the case, Freelancer had definitely fallen for (him) it.

Unfortunately for Gavin, Freelancer had one last card up their sleeve.

"And what are you going to do, Gavin? Fuck me to death?"

What were they here for again? Magic history tutoring? A movie date? Finishing the leftover pizza and wings they ordered the last time Gavin was over?

It didn't matter anymore, because Gavin was forcing them out of their seat, grabbing their face and kissing them breathless. All while maneuvering the both of them into their bedroom.

When Freelancer took a breath, they were on top of Gavin, legs on either side of his waist, one hand pinning one of his arms down while the other was resting on his chest. They stared at him as they felt his chest falling and rising, his heart beating beneath their touch.

They remembered what that meant, when a demon took the time to form a heart beat with magic. Slowly, they leaned down to kiss his chest, right where a real heart would be if he was human.

They looked up at him, and in their brief eye contact, Freelancer thanked him. For his help with DAMN stuff, for trusting them enough to be this vulnerable with his emotions.

For being in their life.

If Freelancer was asked if they started to cry in that moment, hiding it from Gavin by meeting his lips with their own again, they'd say it was drool.

Baby is such an enigma bc you can never rlly tell whether they fell for Ivan’s bullshit or not

The last audio he had was the Halloweek one, but smth no one considered is where it was on the timeline

In it, he starts muttering “The windows have bars” when looking for Baby, but the windows only have bars AFTER the audio where Ivan took Baby on a walk, and in that audio we learn Baby had been “well-behaved” and we can suspect they fell for stockholm syndrome or such

This means that it is possible that in their final appearance with Ivan in “The Cost”, Baby has not fallen for Ivan’s antics

But that’s never confirmed because Ivan states, again, that Baby had been “well-behaved”, which can easily be another ploy on Baby’s part to lower his guard, but we’ll never know

In the end, we DON’T know if Baby ever believed Ivan

Freelancer: tell me why when I asked myself the question of “what do people do when they’re home alone for more than 24 hours?” I immediately answered myself with “summon a demon.”

Asher: teeth are sharp teeth go bite….I don’t know if you’re picking up what I’m putting down, but I want to bite your shoulder. 

Porter/Guy: how about instead of just asking about my gag reflex you pay the 10 bucks to experience the answer-FUCK YOU DID NOT NEED TO HIT ME THAT HARD

Vincent/Milo: dear diary….WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT?!

Darlin: C’mon! Snatch me up blue collar man

Guy: I’m not just a bottom I’m also a poet

Sam: this looks real fun I’m just to tired to give a fuck

Ollie: if I could choose between Sex and a Sandwich…I would pick the sandwich BUT I WOULD THINK ABOUT IT

Asher/Guy: This is rude. I don’t like this. This is homophobic/dramatic

Freelancer: I am a raccoon my inner demon is just a slightly less domesticated raccoon



[anonymousredactedconfessions]

About the Yuurivoice potentially copying Redacted anon

Let's go in order of how reasonable to make these cases actually are:

So first of the most asinine one out of the way: "a spunky guy with a boston accent"? By which, i'm gonna assume, you mean to imply that Alphonse might be a copy of Milo? Alphonse, who's first ever video on youtube was uploaded in 2018 ? A year in which Erik hadn't even created the redacted channel yet (that would be 2019) let alone uploaded the first ever Milo video (that would be 2020) In conclusion, you didn't even bother to do the most basic checking of upload dates before making this accusation, didn't you?

Next we have the demons: if you actually went and checked the dates of uploads (again) you can see that when Big Red's (Yuurivoice's demon character) first video was uploaded (october 1st 2020) the only videos featuring a demon on Eriks channel at that time were the first and second Caelum videos (and potentially the first Gavin one i think but the date on that one is now different because Erik had to edit and reupload that one)

There's literally no similarities between Caelum and Big Red besides being demons (a very common trope that Erik didn't invent, not to mention how differently demons actually function on these two channels) and being a bit stupid (in my personal opinion pretty different kinds of stupidity/naivity) and Big Red and Gavin have even less in common. In conclusion, are you serously gonna say that Big Red is a copy of specifically Caelum (based on just his first two videos!) or Gavin (based just on his first video!)? Or did you yet again not check the upload dates for any of these? Also again, demons are a VERY common trope and they're done so differently on the channels in terms of lore, how is this even one you'd mention as a potential copy at all?!

Next the pizza boys: at the time of Charlie's (Yuurivoices "pizza delivery guy") first apperance in bittersweet (august 9th 2021) Guy's only apperances have been being an unamed voice basically saying "here's your pizza" in one Asher video, one Gavin video and the april fools video.

Like Guy, Charlie was also just meant as a background character at first but compared to Guy at the time actually had only some light references to a pizza place (like his shirt) while he's mainly introduced as and functions as a criminal goon from Alphonse and Seths past. In both cases the fandoms independently asked those two to get their own series/listeners which is not a phenomenon you could copy and as background characters they weren't all that similar, again one being defined by being the pizza delivery guy the other mainly being a criminal goon at first. The pizza thing came back for Charlie in his own series only because the premise of that series is that he's stopping with the crime stuff so it makes sense to go back working at the pizzeria that was lightly referenced in his time as just a side character. Also their similarities pretty much end at their current jobs, their characters and backstories as well as current plots are pretty different past that. In conclusion, i highly, highly doubt any intentional copying, and to summerize they're both happen to be initial background characters that viewers rallied to get their own listeners (something you couldn't intentionally copy and therefore just funny coincidence) that happen to both currently work in pizza delivery (and unlike Guy, "your pizza guy boyfriend", Charlie isn't even called anything related to his job in the thumbnails/titles, it's always things like "your childhood crush" or "soft punk boyfriend" e.t.c.)

Now, last but not least, Aaron and Auron: ok, so Aaron's first video was uploaded january 21st 2021 and only two days later on january 23rd 2021 Yuurivoice and Jackie Eleanor who does the art on the channel do a character reveal art stream on Auron (i'd recommend any Redacted fan who started listening to Yuurivoice only recently and thinks he might be copying Aaron to check out that stream, it's called "YuuriVoice Character Design Stream ft. Jackie Eleanor [Glasses Boy]") and to me it seems clear from how Yuurivoice talks about him (referencing inspiration from Kyoya from the anime Ouran Highschool Host Club for example) and how he had already pitched the character to Jackie so she could already come up with a basic design sketch that he very likely already had thought of and planned this character for longer than literally just two days before this stream (i.e. the upload day of the very first Aaron video)

Now you could choose to believe that Yuurivoice saw the Aaron video on the 21st and then went and did that stream only two days later and talked about the character as if he'd been planning/working on him for longer than that just to idk hide the copying, i guess? But personally that feels like a huge stretch to me.

Interestingly enough another thing Auron and Aaron have in common is a younger brother associated with the color purple and stars (to a degree) but given that Auron and Faust were revealed/comfirmed to be brothers long before the same happend for Aaron and Elliot it would mean that Erik did the copying on those points but i don't believe that's the case either, it's also probably just a weird coincedence.

In summery, they both happen to be dom boss characters (which btw is also a common trope one that neither Erik nor Yuurivoice invented, i mean have you heard of 50 shades of gray? The Secretary?) they happen to have very similar first names and both have a strained relationship with a purple themed younger brother (but again this similarity would actually have to be Erik copying Yuurivoice if it isn't just a coincedence instead)

In conclusion, i believe both sets of similarities are coincedences and i think if you believe the similar name and character trope are intentionally copied then it would be lowkey hypocritical to not also believe that the younger brother parts are also simply too similar to be just coincedence and therefore Erik would have to be copying Yuurivoice right back (which would be a ridicioulous situation)

Another funny thing is that as someone that has been listening to Yuurivoice for much longer than Redacted i almost immediately noticed that they both have a meta and kinda robotic (in Erik's case the voice in Yuurivoice's visual design) character named the exact same thing: Echo. But in this case the first mention of Echo on Yuurivoices channel is the video "YuuriVoice 2.0 Channel Trailer | Patreon & Script Submission Announcement" which was uploaded on March 26th 2020, while Erik uploaded his first ever video on the Redacted channel literally months later in july of the same year, not to mention his first Echo video which would be even later than that. So i actually had the thought before if Erik was inspired by (or, if you wanna be less charitable i guess, copied) Yuurivoice to name his meta channel character Echo as well or if this was just coincidence, especially after Erik literally mentioned having listened to Yuurivoice before he started his channel.

Personally i don't think it matters all that much at the end of the day, though. A name is such a small similarity anyway.

I'm doing redacted tarot cards but so far i only did 4 (might do all of them? Idk ask my motivation lmao)

(ik ik i don't draw them on the right order but this is mostly just recommendations from the lovely peeps from the RR discord server 🚶🚶)

Caelum – the fool

Vincent and Lovely – the lovers

Avior – the hanged man

Brachium – death

[everlastingspiral]

look, you're entitled to your own opinions, however contradictory they might be, but genuinely, i have got to ask: why do you watch/listen if you hate it that much? it seems you just have a blog for talking about how much you hate erik, the characters, the "statements," storylines, and more. why not just move on to something different?

the one thing i will add is the the caelum situation and the fred/bright situation were different, and anyone who witnessed both can see that. when fred and bright's controversy broke out, there were many insults to erik himself and his writing, personal attacks to him, whereas the caelum situation was completely removed from him. no one was attack him because of what was happening with the fictional character. does this mean that bullying and harassment was justified? no. but the situations each solicited a different response from the creator. you have to at least see that, right?

regardless, your point standing around your blog that "if you don't like it, don't read it" should be employed for your choice in listening to redacted. if all you're going to do is complain and hold erik accountable for his "sins," then just listen to someone else. i'd be happy to give you recommendations, but all you're doing is just spewing hatefulness that it generally unjustified (and i agree with some of your takes, while saying that). please, find a different hobby.

Ah yes, just what I needed after a bad day. A holier than thou anon.

Look, while I appreciate your fake concern, next time just cry and say you hate someone criticizing your favorite creator eh? You’re already hiding behind the anon mask. Might as well be honest.

To touch on each of your points here:

Enlighten me as to what makes you think I still listen to the content of his that I hate? I don’t sit here being spoon-fed like the majority of the fandom. There are parts of his work I do genuinely enjoy otherwise I wouldn’t be here. Outside of some of my more minor complaints like Milo’s, most of what is on that list I’ve already dropped a while ago. Not that there’s even been any plot to consume or complain about in months but still. I apologize that I’m a complex human being with my own thoughts and not a generic children’s cartoon you can easily pick apart.

Now I don’t remember Redacted receiving personal attacks, but maybe that was because I was trying to tune out that insanity. What I saw more often were people in the fandom attacking each other and arguing their points on the situation. Yes, I do see the difference between the two situations, and I compared the two in severity. What exactly is your point in bringing this up, anon? If you’re afraid of Caelum disappearing from the channel, or otherwise never getting another video, you have only the close-minded fools in the fandom to be angry with. I had nothing to do with that drama escalating and in fact I tried to stop it. As far as Redacted goes, that’s just fandom behavior and he’ll have to deal with it. No, that still doesn’t make all the harassment and direct attacks okay, but that’s what a fandom can turn into unfortunately. If he wants to build up a large fanbase he’s going to have to buck up and hold his ground.

If you don’t like my blog, don’t read it anon. I keep the majority of my posts out of the tags for a reason because this is mostly a vent blog. If you find a post that is tagged where I’ve begun a discussion and continued reading, that’s on you. If you found my posts on another blog and chose to read them and choose to search for more, that’s on you. Unlike you and several others, I don’t act like every single bit of fan content in this fandom is curated for my tastes and find no need to consume it all. I’m not going to mince words on posts I create specifically for myself either. You don’t like criticism? You don’t like how harsh I come across? Don’t come on my blog.

We could go back and forth all day about my choice to listen to Redacted and your choice to waste your time preaching to me about what I do with my time on my own blog, but I don’t care to deal with you after this response.

Just to humor you a little more, I also have no idea what makes you think I don’t follow other creators either. Of course I do. Woefully for you, your pleas to rid of me have fallen on uninterested ears so I’m afraid you’ll have to find a new blog to virtue-signal to. Go tell all your comrades how much of a terrible asshole I am, lurking in a hateful corner and minding my own hateful business. Meanwhile I’ll be doing just that. Have fun.
