I'm Not Hating On Desmond Or Anything But I Just Don't Think He Should Have Kept Us Hanging Like That.

i think the things that got me bored of Siren Sons audios is that 1. they all feel the same now. everything has to be connected into a universe which i do get to an extent, but now every audio is just boring and kind of predictable; 2. he basically only posts patreon previews now instead of putting in more effort into audios for youtube. get your bag or whatever but i do think it’s killing the channel; 3. the listeners hardly feel like characters. its especially noticeable when he voices multiple characters in the same video, they hardly acknowledge the listener character at all, which bores me to death personally.

I still really don't get the refusal to have characters of color in ones lineup. It will never not look weird to me. Especially given that there ARE VAs with multi-racial casts (Mr. Laveau is a great example).

I feel like not wanting to be "offensive" is more of an excuse than anything else. Especially since the majority of the audios I've listened to, both narrative and one off, very rarely actually contain content that could be considered highly insensitive if the race of the character changed. Especially in fantasy worlds where the idea of race takes on new contexts.

It always reads to me like a creator (audio rp or otherwise) either is incapable of seeing POC as actual people, or has a weird inability to separate POC from our struggles. And while it IS important that we don't play into the idea of "not seeing color", and disregarding what is often very difficult and painful histories for many of us...

... Y'all do know we like, like, people shit, right? We have normal jobs, we eat food, probably go to the movies and on dates. Can and do exist in fantasy worlds. Like, I'm not saying don't do some research, like don't make a black character a monkey or a Jewish character a rat or some bs, lmao. But like, what exactly is stopping any of you, on some real shit 🤨.

Idk, it's just a weird look to me. Also, obviously, this is about creators who have characters depicted in some form of art.

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt. 2

Scythe Audio

"Think of a time when you achieved something that made you proud... think of that moment when you told someone that you looked up to, and their face lit up with joy. Or when you smiled to yourself with a feeling of fulfillment because of all the work you put into something. Think of it... what was it? Yes, child, you see? That head on your shoulders possesses one brilliant mind indeed. I'm proud of you for what you have achieved. Don't compare it to anyone else. Your success is yours. Revel in it." (Comforted by the God of recovery)

"What I have created, what I have been through- you think silly thoughts and paranoia would stop me? I'm not going anywhere, because there are still people out there who enjoy my work. There are still people out there that make art of my creations [...] I still have people saying how much of an inspiration I can be to them [...] and how my work has gotten them through tough times. [...] There is one thing I do have, and that's the loyalty and love of the beautiful and brilliant fucking niche community who are just as wacky and weird as I am! And that's just the way I like it. [...] If my work makes one of my wacky family smile, then I've achieved my goal." (The Reddening 6)

"Twinkle? It's been an honor to share a bit of time with one of my favorite listener characters. You are truly wonderful, and it brings me so much joy to know how loving and caring you are, despite the endless shit that you've had to endure- kinda like my audience! It won't get any better for a while, but I promise you one thing- you don't get any colder as a result. Your heart stays warm. It is in fact your warmth and kindness that will save you... and save us all. Goodbye, Twinkle." (The Reddening 6)

Fick Burger opened a new location!!! 🤣

At least my blades won't say mean things to me or hurt my feelings.

Having to clean the shower is so fucking annoying. It’s clean in there. That’s where I go to get clean. It’s clean dude trust me. Stop fucking growing bacteria and stuff man this is the clean locale. You’re embarrassing me in front of the sink

people when audiobooks: 😚😇🥹🙏❤️❤️🥳😁😆🤩

people when audio roleplay (pretty much the exact same thing): 😟🤮🤮😱😱🤯🤯🤯😥😥😰😰😤😤🤬🤬

since the reboot of prince desmond’s playlist is coming up, i hope desmond (the creator not the character) keeps the tigress as a character or at least still makes the listener character’s values and personality the same/similar to the tigress’ !! imo you rarely see listeners, like the tigress in the old playlist, have her type of personalities/values.

the only ones i can think of is darlin from redacted and the intern from escaped audios iirc
