  • This is probably one of the most non-event ASMR roleplays I've done in some time, but if you like near-future bureaucracy or soft spoken questions, then perhaps it'll help you sleep. Enjoy!

    🎙 What is ASMR? 🎧
    ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is synaesthesia of the soul. It’s a relaxing feeling, it’s a tingling down the spine, or it’s simply a sleep aid. Whether it’s being ‘held’ by someone you have confidence in, or ‘looked after’ by someone with authority, or just feeling ‘safe’ with someone you trust, it uses audio-visual triggers to enable you to let go of your worries and stresses - even just for a bit.
    📽 What is FPC? 🎞
    FPC (first person cinema) takes all the relaxing elements of ASMR but has much more of a focus on immersion and the suspension of disbelief. It’s kinda like being the main character in your own short movie, with popular figures you know and love, or entirely created worlds - just for you. There won’t be any visible mics or traditional triggers in these videos, and they will seem more unintentional than the usual ASMR videos - but they are unique and relaxing experiences designed to transport you to different places, worlds, and times.
    Disclaimer: This video is intended for relaxation. Any views, opinions, or advice expressed is purely for the purpose of entertainment, and to induce tingles through ASMR. These videos are not a substitute for traditional medicine, therapy, or any other professional medium, and should not be treated as such! Take all the advice with a pinch of salt, and certainly don’t take it to heart. That being said, please enjoy them, benefit from them, and hopefully get those warm, tingly feelings. Oh, and it’s not for kids.

    One of my favorite narrative styles (don’t know exact term) is when an author drops you in the middle of a setting-no exposition or establishing shots-and you have to puzzle out what the hell is going on from contextual clues and dialogue. Well done, this was a treat.
    The slow reveal where Bert tells us about himself reminds me of the end of 12 Monkeys. Maybe the feeling it gives? Post-Apocalyptic setting as well. (Although the movie was Post-, and Pre-, and plain ol’ Apocalyptic)
