A little lunch hour thread. Over the last six months or so I, like so many others, was going through some sustained stress and grief. I happened to read this great piece in @WeAreMel (RIP) about ASMR and the BLM movement. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/black-asmr-network-protest-youtube">https://melmagazine.com/en-us/sto...
I had never listened to ASMR before but I began listening to it while I worked sometimes, to try and keep the stress spiral in check. (It didn& #39;t really work for me, but I tried!)
ASRM is a huge space and I began to idly explore the different modalities. Most of it& #39;s pretty uniformly pretty-girl-pays-attention-to-you. What I enjoyed was the eccentric, stuff - and there& #39;s a lot of REALLY eccentric ASMR out there.
Here& #39;s one where the creator prepares a luxurious bath for you -- demonstrating it on a miniature plastic bathtub that maybe was designed for a fancy little dog. I find it hysterical and awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5P7FjTkgAY&t=9s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
In this one, you are a medieval Lord who has just returned from *collecting the debts from a bunch of peasants*!!!! There is a LOT to unpack here and I am in awe of how much work the creator has done to set the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjPFsG53NSw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
In this one, you are buying a new backpack at an underground marketplace during...a zombie apocalypse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loeJrjYy1ZI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
