Heylo there and Hi! 👋🏼✨

After being away for a full two weeks from early to mid-November, I am back from my trip from Japan and am ready to get cozy in my usual corner! How about you? And I do gotta apologize for delaying it quite a bit as this is quite literally the latest I could post this while it still technically being November (at least for me, sorry international listeners in the future 😭).

So how about we get this started, yeah? It's a bit of long one (I know, I keep saying I'm gonna tighten these up, but for whatever reason I just can't shut up haha!)

Ah, settling into my 6th hour of podcasts for today! Christmas here in Australia, is much more about surfing santas and lots of fresh seafood because it's summer time. This might sound sad, it makes me sad sometimes, but since my Dad died and Mum re-married, my brother and I don't get an invite to my step family's Christmas lunch. So we get relegated to salad and leftovers, separately for dinner. I hate the way my Mum makes salad and cold meats are not really something I don't like. So I don't take leftovers. I'll make a lactose free chocolate ripple cake, so I've got a dessert I can eat. So I tend to eat one plate, very small with just a little bit of meat, a small amount of salad and that's it. I save all of my calories for dessert and then I make sure everyone takes chocolate ripple cake home with them, so I don't have leftovers to eat. On particular years, I'll spend Christmas lunch with a good friend and her family, and to be honest, they're more like family to me than my own biological family. But I still prefer to not take leftovers home at all, it's awkward for me and stressful for the eating disorder part of my brain that just wants to slip back into normal meal prep and gym. Black Friday sales never existed here until 10 years ago, now it's huge. It's almost completely taken the place of even Boxing Day sales, which used to be the biggest sales time of the year. But I have learned that you guys don't get a Boxing Day holiday at all. If people weren't able to watch the cricket on Boxing Day, there'd be a fucking riot! I've been subbing to magic wave and listening to your stuff over there, and the SFW has been my favourite. I think though, I'll drop the magic wave sub as the new year rolls in, so I can afford the new patreon tier. I hear you on needing pants to be tailored! I'm 5' 1", but I'm apple shaped, so getting pants that will fit my waist and my legs is no bueno. I usually pay to get my pants taken up. Your story about selling your Majora's Mask DS caused me physical pain, that sucks so bad! But I'm glad you got a DS replacement. I loved hearing about your thoughts about Echoes of Wisdom, you obviously haven't gotten far enough, but you get Link's weapons as you go so you can fight directly, but it's on an energy timer, so you still need the echoes. I'm so excited to hear that you're enjoyed Signalis, I loved the narrative and how everything ties together and you find out stuff about Elster and other Replikas. It's a bit of reading, but like the OG RE games, so you can quickly scan a file and read it when you're in a save room. Do click out of the save menu and not save it to get a funny message from the developer. I loved Nier: Automata so much, I was so invested in those characters. I just wanted hug 9S the whole time. But Nier: Automata did wreck me emotionally and I will never play it again. I like McDonalds fries with Big Mac special sauce or McChicken sauce. Is that normal or controversial? 😅

Coming back to the sex toys stuff - Rather than having it buried in my first comment, I wanted to recommend a sex toy to the community that I purchased recently during the black friday sales online. I purchased a Lelo Ora 3 - https://www.lelo.com/ora-3 It piqued my curiosity, marketing itself as a oral sex simulator. Unlike some of the cheaper clitoral vibrators you can buy, it actually has a rotating, swirling tongue, and you can turn the intensity up and down as you like. Unlike, a lot of clitoral vibrators, it is a slow burn with this toy. You put a small amount of lube on this and it actually feels quite realistic. You can set it to just focus on the clit or use its other settings to capture the clit and the labia more broadly. Cleaning it is really easy, it's IPX7, which I love because that means it's fully waterproof. I just clean mine with aveeno baby wash rather than using sex toy spray like the instructions recommend. It charges really easily, it takes about 2 hours to charge fully. It is kind of pricey (it cost me USD $120), but it's really worth it. I like to pair this with my lovense vulse just to cruise along to a nice, slow sensual orgasm. I really recommend it :)

Ok, so this because an essay, and I am so sorry for that 😅Usually for holidays, we make a variety of foods. I typically have one plate with a little bit of everything to see what’s good. And then my second plate is for a little more of everything that I liked. If we have other family over, most of the leftovers go to them, otherwise we spend days eating it. As for Black Friday, it is so different now than when I was younger. I remember the days of waking up at ungodly times to wait in line for stores to open. Now it’s not that hyped and the deals aren’t really worth it (though was it ever worth the chaos). The last things I remember getting during Black Friday was my Nintendo DS and a Snuggie. I still have that Snuggie and it is still amazing. Your OC was soooo good! The writing was fantastic as always. It was super sweet and wholesome and not overwhelming having two speakers. Not to mention you and LiloStitchDonky did a phenomenal job acting it out. And I must say I am super excited about the year to come. GentleGeek Season 2 sounds super badass! And I honestly love the idea of the scripts being split where there's the SFW part and then an extension that’s the NSFW part. So you get the best of both worlds with the same scenario for those who like the spice and those who don’t. Also, I had a few ideas for the “grab bag” but I’m not sure if it’s any good. Honestly, I love hearing about your Japan trip so much. $3.75 for a sweater is a steal! I kinda wanna see all the clothes that you bought (only if you want to and are able to share). Also good for you taking it easy when your body was saying. As you said, Mount Takao will always be there, but Attack on Titan won’t 🤣 I love the new sexy talk music! It gives it such a sultry and sexy vibe. As for new toys for the wishlist, maybe one of those automatic stroker sleeves that you just put on and it does the thrusting for you? Maybe you can put it on and see how long it takes to get an HFO. As for my toy story (lol) I was actually around the same age as you when I got my first toy. Also due to my religious conservative upbringing, I was too scared to buy a toy. Then lo and behold I bought my first dildo last year at 22 (from Target no less 😅), and then said no more. And then I bought two more toys and said no more, especially not a realistic shaped one. And then two weeks ago I bought my fourth one that is more realistic, and I gotta say I love them all! As for your podcasts, I know it must affect you to sit that long and especially your throat as you mentioned, but from the listener’s side, I can literally listen you talk for hours. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but you are amazing at explaining things. You explain things in such a concise manner and you’re very clear, so it’s very easy to follow along with what you’re saying, esp when I don’t really know what you’re talking about. But also listening to you passionately explain the things you are interested in always grabs my attention no matter what the topic!

As for the movie, this was honestly such a good movie. I love a good comedy movie and this one did it perfectly. It wasn’t too over the top, in your face comedy, and it didn’t try too hard. It was naturally and effortlessly hilarious. The part at the beginning where Neal was like “you’re a thief” and the other guy was like “close, I’m a lawyer” personally offended me 🤣🤣. But that one bed trope was not something I was expecting. But I was here for it. And I kinda feel like I am both of these characters combined. I have my Neal moments where I just wanna be alone and get annoyed by others, and then feel bad for getting annoyed. But then I have my Del moments where I share and talk a lot (as you can clearly see with these ridiculously long comments 😅) because I just wanna have someone to talk to and to accept me. But that ending of the movie hit me the hardest. Esp when we find out that Del’s wife is dead and he has nowhere to go, and Neal finally invites him to his house, I cried a bit there. Finally onto the questions, thank you for answering all of mine. Even the dumb ones. I found the boundary question really important because I’m a part of a few communities where boundaries have been crossed (by others), and I never want that to happen here because you have fostered such an amazing community where everyone is so caring and respectful! But now that you’ve said feral, be prepared cause it’s gonna get wild 🤣 (respectfully of course). As for the fighting question, your point totally makes sense. It should always be more about doing the right thing and trying to help others rather than wanting to beat someone up. Though I will say that that attorney was an interesting one cause he was in charge of the DUI cases, and he literally, in the middle of court, stated that he would be comfortable driving after drinking 22 wine coolers and that he’d puke cause of the sugar before the alcohol 😅. And about my apples and ranch, DON’T KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT 😭😭. People always judge me, but it’s good. Look at me Gentle, and tell me you’ve never had a salad with apples in it. You get the apples with ranch there. Thank you for the SFX answers. Now I’ll only imagine oatmeal when I listen to an audio 🤣 (jokes). But I did try your hand thing for the ball slapping (though I fucked it up the first time and had to carefully listen again to get my hand in the right position 😅) and that’s pretty smart. But I honestly love the SFX in audios. It’s the best part and usually the part that always gets me going, esp all the fucking SFX. Everything you mentioned for your Thanksgiving plate sounds phenomenal! I can see how turkey is not a favorite, cause it can get dry, but I am a sucker for the traditional sides. And finally, finally, finally, I kinda agree with the NNN. The kinky version you mentioned does sound incredible, but other than that, it’s kinda weird. But hey, to each their own and if someone wants/needs to do it, whatever floats their boat.

I have a feeling this won't be your longest podcast ahaha. Already mentioned this in your check-in but hearing you talk about all the things you did in Japan made me want to visit it even more! I can't imagine all the pictures I'd take and all the takoyaki I would eat ahaha. You had to bring up the corn and mayo pizza again did you? 🙂‍↔️ I bought my first toy when I was 20 and it was a Durex purple bullet vibrator which I still have and love. When I used it I was like "aaahh now I understand why people have these" and from then on my collection has grown. I really enjoy browsing different sites, buying and just exploring ✨; it's one of my favorite types of shopping. John Hughes's movies really do have that special something that I'll never get tired of, the only one I'm missing is "Uncle Buck". Also his work as a writer/producer is off the charts as well. Here we celebrate both the 24th and the 25th. It's usually dinner on Christmas Eve and lunch on Christmas day. Needless to say the amount of food we prepare is always so much that we have a lot of leftovers; I like to get a plate and put a little bit of everything on, even with said leftovers 🤤.

An absolutely wonderful episode of the podcast, as always, Gentle! I’ll try to limit what I talk about and how in-depth I’ll go so as to avoid writing a novel for this comment 😆 but apologies in advance because you know I have a hard time with that! 😅 What do we do when it comes to holiday dinners? Hmmmm, well… we Canadians DO celebrate Thanksgiving, but in October! iirc it’s the 2nd Monday of the month. And it’s funny, a member of the family gets a free turkey every Christmas through their employer (not revealing more details for privacy ofc), so we don’t typically do a Thanksgiving turkey anymore! Either we’ll do ham, or make a family favourite meal. So the traditional Thanksgiving dinner for me is usually my Christmas dinner 🎅🏻 I tend to go with smaller portions early on so as to not overdo things, and grab more food later. Usually I start with a little bit of everything (unless there’s something I won’t eat, like salad with dressing— I don’t like dressing, it’s a texture thing for me, but I’ll eat salad without it), then when I’m done that I’ll grab seconds of my favourites 😋 as for leftovers, we’ll either incorporate them into other dishes (like using the bones for a broth, or the meat in sandwiches), eat the leftover dishes themselves over a few days, or freeze the leftovers for later. My mom will freeze anything and everything! 😅 but hey, it keeps things good for a long time! The more I hear about the Japan trip, the better it sounds! I’m so glad you had such a good time 🥹 and honestly, sometimes the more lowkey days are just exactly what you need, and that makes them so wonderful, so I can see why that kind of day was probably your favourite! 🥰 I don’t wanna go too deep into the media stuff because this comment is already gonna be long enough, but I gotta say… I really wanna watch 37 Seconds now 🥺😭 it sounds SO good, and I felt connected with Yuma just from what you talked about, what with feeling alien from other people (I won’t go too far into it because it’s a lot, but I certainly relate 😅), so I think it’d be cathartic for me to watch. Honestly, the way you described her character reminded me of how Nagata Kabi portrayed herself in her autobiographical manga, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness. It looks from the outside like it’s about sex, but really it’s about struggling with mental health and how it intertwines itself with every aspect of one’s life, including sexuality— I’d say it explores those topics in a very non-pornographic way. I highly recommend it, if you’re interested! Though it (naturally) talks about some heavy topics. There’s sequels, but I’ve only really read the first one 😅 but it’s an excellent read! As always, it was quite fun listening to your answers to the questions! Though you gave such a wholesome answer to the boobs vs. ass question, I really didn’t expect that 😭 honestly I was mostly thinking of a stupid poll a friend made in our discord server a while back where the options were “tits, ass, or other?” and I know it’s a common question so I was curious, but you made some really good points in your answer 🥺 we all should aim to be equal opportunists! And I’m so sorry you’ve had so much trouble feeling confident in your height 🫂 I can’t imagine how it must feel, exactly, because I’m not a guy, so I don’t know what it’s like not measuring up to societal standards of manhood. But I’ve already talked about my own struggles in feeling like I’m not feminine because of my size, so I sort of get it in the sense that I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t fit the mould of what it means to be your own gender. I know you’ve expressed that you’ve embraced your size since, but I still wanna say that I hope you can feel confident in yourself as you are! We all have our days, after all, but even on the days we don’t feel so great about ourselves, we’re good enough as we are! Honestly, I find that stereotypical standards of gender are very off-putting anyway, whether they focus on behaviour or appearance, and I’m happy to see that seeming to be the general trend And the answer for eating pussy— idk if the only reason I had the question was ignorance, as a technical virgin, or if it’s something other people might be curious about regardless of their sexual experience, but I really enjoyed hearing your answer. It makes sense, the way you put it, and as your approach to sexuality often does, it made it feel very wholesome! 🥺 so, I really appreciate you taking the time to break it down the way you did 🙏🏻 thank you! Honestly, the boundaries question was something I feel was needed because sometimes… it’s hard to tell what is and isn’t appropriate in these spaces, you know? That might be my own conservative upbringing talking— I was never given the opportunity to express or explore that part of myself, or of life. I was also very much a prude (literally didn’t even really masturbate until I was 18!), and slut shaming was quite literally taught by the authority figures in my life as the only valid perspective. It’s very difficult breaking free of that, isn’t it? 😅 and that kind of upbringing forces you to go into these things blind and ignorant of what might be too far. So the clarity is so, so, so very much appreciated 🙏🏻 ngl, just hearing you talk about how you like cultivating a space where people are free to be themselves, to express themselves, and how you WANT to create that space— well, it made me tear up a bit 🥹 which I know I said is really tough to do and that the OC script this month made me tear up, but I’ll attribute the ease of it to your skills as a VA and scriptwriter, the fact that your creating a space like this is a beautiful thing, and to the fact that I’ve been under a lot of stress as of late 😅 And this relates to the last podcast episode, but I’m putting it here because I never got around to commenting— I said I’d share the nightmare that stuck with me if it made you feel more comfortable to share your answer, and I intend to keep my word! Though I’m sorry that question seemed to get a bit emotional, my intention was something that would fit the spooky vibe, I didn’t consider the emotional aspects of it, so my sincerest apologies 🙏🏻 as for my nightmare (TRIGGER WARNING for suicide 😅), I was 12, in grade 7, at the time. I was really into the cartoon Total Drama Island, so for some reason all the characters in the dream, besides myself, were from the show (at least, as far as I can remember). I was at a lake that had docks and facilities for changing and bathrooms and all that, and at some point I lost all my clothes, maybe someone stole them? And I was running around all over the place, trying to keep hidden as I tried to find my shit because I was naked, but people still saw me and laughed at me. No one offered help or anything, they all either laughed at me or just generally made fun of my situation. Eventually, I ran to the dock, jumped into the lake, and drowned myself 😅 it was such an unnerving dream that it’s just stuck with me ever since. One of those dreams where you wake up and you think, “what the ever-loving FUCK was that!?”. Also related to the last podcast, but on a different topic— I wanted to say that I absolutely adored A Ghost Story, it was such a beautiful movie 🥹 And finally, happy belated birthday to Mochi and Nori!!!! 🥳🎉 and, again, this was a lovely episode! Though I certainly don’t mind the length, please take care of yourself, even if that means making episodes shorter 🙏🏻 it must’ve been exhausting recording and editing all this in the same day 😭

Same. I’m a part of a few TikTok communities where creators have very clear boundaries. But even then those get crossed often by other fans. It’s gotten bad enough nowadays that creators are literally leaving the communities cause they’re tired of having their boundaries crossed. And it sucks for everyone, even those viewers who haven’t done anything, but especially for the creator who just wants to have a good time, but is made to feel comfortable or put in a compromising situation. And I never want that to happen to Gentle intentionally or even unintentionally where we accidentally make him uncomfortable. He’s made such a great community and everyone here is incredible to interact with. So having that sort of baseline rule of what’s allowed and what’s not makes it good for not only for Gentle to get across what he’s ok with, but for us to know the proper way to interact.

I don’t have thanksgiving in my country but we have Chinese New Year. That’s the time when all the family members go to grandparents house and have dinner together. I’m from quite a big family so…those leftovers…🫠 And we gotta finish all of them for the rest of the holiday. Your lantern lights sound very nice and cozy. 💛 I also have some at my parent’s house. But we barely open them 🤣 I gotta say that it was so cute that you speak Japanese!!! Not cringe at all 🩵 AoT tatoo on your chest?!! Wow, that sounds so cool. Have you posted it before?! If not, are you willing to share it? 💕 And yes, I totoally agree with the naming stuff. They just trick me to think that this would be the last season and I need to get prepared to watch all the seasons in case I forget anything. But they did that too many times. I think Ive already watched season 1 for like 5 or 6 times just cuz of that 🫠 Not really complaining watching such a great anime multiple times but like.....why….?!🥲 For the slience in the movie theater, isn't that suppose to be?! In my country, we don't make too loud noise or bring any food way too smelly. People still eat popcorn but quietly 🤣 Here’s a lil story of temple fortune, if people get the "bad" one, they will tie it up on the side, where you can see multiple fortune tickets there. If I'm remembering it correctly, it means to leave the bad luck there.😇 I also know how to use chopsticks quite well!!🤩 Ohh, I'm so glad that you have 2 weeks vacation!! 💕 It's so cute that your recording studio is your closet. Does your cats follow you in to your “recording studio “?🤩

I only got like 15 minutes in the first time, and then other things came up that needed my attention... so here we go!! Ugh holidays...I also grew up in a holiday-less home, my grandparents did holidays, and they insisted we go there for "traditional" holiday things. My mom was a single mom and struggled to buy groceries, so she would bring us because she knew we would get fed and would be able to take home leftovers. I've never ever had an interest in physically going to anything related to black Friday. My anxiety says NOPE. Nothing like being thankful for what we have and then rush out at 5am to fight with an old lady for more things we don't need. I've seen the videos... 🙄 Thank goodness for modern technology because I love online deals!!! (I'm also one of those crazy coupon ladies so I'm pretty good at making a dollar stretch! Lol) Tha collab audio was 🤌🏻 Certainly sounded like fun creating it too 😏 A CLONE-A-WILLY!? Dude you don't even have to hint. I'm pretty confident we /know/ 🫠 and boy oh boy.... I can feel the anticipation already. New tiers! 🎉 Movie nights?! I have the HARDEST time sitting down to watch a movie (hooray ADHD brain!)... if I can, that sounds like so much fun hanging with everyone and watching together!! And yeeessss yes video game streams! I really enjoyed watching that coffee talk game play~ Twitch is fun. You can work a schedule into it, which is nice. My goodness you have so much going on and so many awesome ideas! Pls don't burn yourself out 🥲 *super immersed in Japan trip stuff* 🥰🥰🥰🥰 (btw if you need anyone to practice Japanese with 😉 I've been studying off-and-on for over a decade... nowhere near fluent tho..) Those long flights are insane. Longest one I've experienced was a 13 hour to Hawaii. Holy crap Shimo Kitazawa sounds like a dream!! Thrifting is the best!! I feel you with the smol issue. Tho I'm not exactly smol in diameter, I've got the mysterious short gene; everyone else in my family is taller than me. 😅 NO WAY! Speaking of AOT!! 😆 Wow do I have a long way to go! 😵‍💫 (Haha you said your loads were bigger 🙃 *ahem*) iPhone a necessity?? 😮‍💨 I would not survive.... How were you able to just go to another country by yourself?? Especially when they speak a completely different language?? Is it hard to plan all of that out on your own, or did you have like a trip planner help? 🤯 If I ever get to go, I am putting PopLife on the schedule!! 🤣 There's a new Japanese shop that opened near me, Like a mini everything store, and they have the eggs! They look interesting 👀 ....I've got an idea for a you to maybe try but... it's um... it's pretty intimidating for most. But from my experience, it's worth it. 👉🏻👈🏻 Oh the little echo buddy in the Zelda game sounds very similar to Wuthering Waves (AWESOME GAME BTW) Signalis sounds amazing! Love that sci-fi mind-fuck kind of plot! 🤩 I need to finish the Neir game I have in my library (among like 20 others I haven't finished 😅) All those movies sound rough to watch. Especially 37 Seconds. I'd be in tears😢.. I'm more of a sci-fi, action/adventure, supernatural, and comedy fan. Anything to disconnect me from reality 🫠 And I LOVE Steve Martin! Loved him in The Pink Panther 😆 I'm sorry to hear about losing Marty. 😢 Losing a furbaby is one of the hardest things ever. Been thru it a few times myself... But yay for gaining 2 more! Your description of them sounds like my 3 before I lost the siblings (Shadow and his sister Lillis). An old lovebug, the skittish one, and the goof. Biscuit and Lillis didn't get along, but Biscuit and Shadow were besties. 😻 Life really is better with cats~ Yo apples with ranch??? How did that combo happen??? Grilled cheese and dill pickles for me. 😆 Ok this was long enough. Sorry but not sorry. 🙃

Wanted to jump in here real quick to temper expectations a little ahead of time. So when it comes to the Discord server -- I'm actually thinking of having it be like a one-way means of communication. I've wrestled with the idea of having channels for chatting but at the same time I feel like that opens the door for possible misuse. Now everyone on here has always been the best, so I'm not suspecting anyone would do anything to create drama. But I think just preventing situations from ever arising might be the best, and so the Discord will basically be a place for people to check out my "live-events" (listen to me through Discord's streaming feature for live script fills and also listen as I watch the month's movie while interacting with chat). That being said, I feel that's the safest route to go since I don't wanna bother anyone with needing to moderate a whole server (I'm already so limited with time as it is). And that's also the reason why I haven't made a public discord server up to this point. So this is my way of ensuring the wonderful community here can continue to stay as it is and not have something or a random person threaten it 😇
