  • You are woken up by the pleasant sound of someone lightly tapping at your door. It's well past curfew here at Arkham Sanitarium, and as far as you know, you are not expecting any guests at this hour. As your unseen visitor stops tapping, much to your dismay as you were just starting to feel the tingles, he quietly opens the door to your room and politely asks for your permission to enter. You are more than happy to oblige him, as you were having trouble falling asleep anyway, and you could sure use the company of someone else other than one of the many doctors that can never seem to stop experimenting on you.
    After making your neighbor's acquaintance, it's only then that you realize after all these years you've never actually met him face to face, nor whomever the neighbor is on the other side of your living quarters. But one should suffice for now, as you know how overwhelmed you get when meeting new people or being in a new environment. Too much stimulation and you're liable to retreat into a dark corner of the room for a week.
    Once you realize how long your neighbor has been residing here, and that he apparently likes to carry around a brown shoe with him wherever he goes, your inquisitive mind, the same one that got you here in the first place, can't help but to ask the questions you've been wanting answers to for so long. Your new friend seems more than happy to share what he knows about the many peculiar inhabitants and places that exist beyond the walls:

    What is ASMR?
    ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.
    ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

    Imagine a ASMR Rift World Nexflix series
    *Edit
    The more I think about it, the more I actually think Netflix would actually pick it up.
    If a video is sponsored the creator must legally state this information both in the description where it is clearly visible and in the video, however in the case of a Netflix series the ads fall onto the shoulders of the company of Netflix.
    That way, no matter how many ads are played, the creator is in noway responsible to inform the watchers.
    Asmr put people into a relaxed state so the watcher would be less attentive to what's going on meaning they would most likely have to watch each episode several times to take in all the information meaning the watch time would be about ten times more.
    Netflix automatically plays the next episode so even after the watcher has fallen asleep, the watch time would still continue clocking up.
    Each time the watcher watches the series they'd start from the last scene they remember, which could be several hours prior to where they had watched while asleep.
    While asleep the episodes will play, and then the ads and then the next episode, rinse and repeat.
    Chances are the watcher will be wearing headphone, so as they move around in their sleep they'd fall off meaning if the ads are loud, they won't awake the watcher as they won't be on their ears.
    In the end, I really think an ASMR netflix series would be extremely beneficial for advertisers, the watchers, the creator and Netflix.
    E already has a world, characters, a story and the costumes.
    It's all set in a sanitarium so the same room could be used just with different items decorating.
    Some larger rooms would be needed to used for rooms such as the cafeteria, but as Paul already has all the props he use's, the budget for location would be a lot more flexible as the prop budget would be barely spent.
    I actually highly recommend you start a funding for a full series, I personally would be more than happy to donate and support, and I'm sure others would too.
    Of course the problem being, all the characters would have to be portrayed by Paul so every scene would have to be shot several times.
    Of course you could hire other ASMRist to could in an act as some characters.
    SERIOUSLY, Can We Make This Happen, PLEASE!

      I think this is the real professor clemmons. Nylarlethotep just shape shifted to be him. Which explains why Corvus wants the "professor" gone. now we know there's a cult of corvus and then there's the question of how Corvus found the key to eternal life and I don't think it's unicorns.

Meanwhile, his "brother" will flat out lie to you, claiming you volunteered for something and forgot or that you committed yourself the other day. Not to mention I'm pretty sure the Professor was the one who awoke Cthulhu, something that, according to Lovecraft lore, Nyarlatothep was very interested in doing. It sought to aid the Great Old Ones. Corvus seems to have little interest in such things.

    • @shydragaming8074
      @shydragaming8074 5 років тому +1

      Maybe he is using Cthulu for a larger purpose and is hiding the fact until he has so much power over the Arkham Sanitarium chain of buildings/people/etc that he can overthrow cthulu entirely and kick him out of the loop with humanity and give azzathoth all of his power. That or he just isn't Nyarlarthotep (Don't know if I spelled that right) but something else entirely. Maybe he is just a human with a higher state of being or is a completely different eldritch being that is on a different level than Cthulu or Nyarlarthotep or even Azzathoth? That may be why he lets Cthulu have all the praise because he is so powerful he just does not care about praise because humans or even Cthulu are just specs of dust under their finger nails. My god that creature would be terrifying. Anyway, thats my speculation for today!
