*note: the Sam video post is now listed as public, sorry about that and thank you to those who let me know. and this month's Age-Restricted Bonus Audio will be dropping on Friday!

i'm curious: because in the past I've asked this question in the context of a particular character, or on what you'd like next specifically, but for this I'm wondering just in general, do you prefer:

please god let the BA be david, it's been a year and a half 😭 i'm Starving

Shelbey W

While I want to hug and comfort the character, I also want hugs too. So personally both are loved

sunshine

I NEED darlin comforting sam when fred has a nightmare

RainyDay

Thanks for the update! Sorry you're having to handle YouTube's shit again I know that must be getting old. Also penis poll lol

Andrea

I like all 3! Reverse-comfort really gives an insight to the characters' minds and feelings that I really enjoy though, so really hope we get more of those in the future!!

pinkSPARKL

I spent too long being the mom-friend, I need cuddles 🥹 (even if they are only fictional) but ultimately, I'm good with whatever fits the narrative 😁💕

spitefultealeaf

I don't particularily seek out videos about emotional comfort, because it makes me feel uneasy most of the time (quite ironic, tbh). but if it's within a larger narrative like you often establish, Erik, I guess I can be fine with either.

J.P. Lee

I am a fermata, please hold me

Guppiees

Had to lean down and lock in bc this is a hard question

Carmilla Dragyns

I love giving and receiving comfort, so this was a hard choice... But I would love to see Elliot and Sunshine comforting each other after everything they've been through. I am patient for that, though! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

I knew people would prefer being the one getting comforted but as someone who's actually hella confident in their own skin along with loving my life I absolutely adore being that one person who can brighten someone else's day by granting them comfort when they need it most. It isn't something that's seen often and despite liking the audios where comfort is given to me as the listener, I'd really like it if sometimes I can take on the role as the comforter instead because seeing someone elses mood get lifted because of my aid brings me more joy than anything else ever could.

Dewi Sri

In a story I'll take any of these options. If I need to knock myself out, I usually pick videos where the character is doing the comforting.

ambrose ☆

i know that being given comfort is probably going to be the winner here, but boy do i enjoy a video where i can pretend i’m not awkward when it comes to comforting someone else 🤞

Caprice Syrae

Plsss let it be david it OUGHT to be david

Dreamiie

I don’t usually listen to comfort videos (giving or receiving) because I am not good at dealing with it in person so it just makes me feel awkward.

Jeordi

I’m going through a breakup. Comfort would be nice please🥹

Linney

Is there a “I am just here for the age restricted audios” option? Just kidding. I listen for the plot as long as the emotional support enhances the story, I am happy.

Janelle

I’d love to hear more stories involving platonic relationships/comfort.

Nix

I'm here for the plot and every story delivers!

Idoken27

Honestly Im here for all of it! It just feels more human/realistic when we get a mix of the audio themes between all the characters

MissRaptor

This is so hard. I’d love to see more reverse comfort; those feel really nice. But damn if I don’t adore storyline audios the best. I really love all three, but if I had to pick, it would be lore and ventures into the world. (Especially with the built-in comforts)! But again, it’s so hard because sometimes it comes down to the character, even though I know you’re asking in general. Just all of it. Can we pick all of it? Is that against the rules?

Ebee

It's been too long 😔

T H

reverse comfort in which the character sobs hysterically and wants nothing but for listener to hold them until they fall asleep 🫦💦🤩

T H

just kidding... unless

0trixiepixie0

Does that mean we’re getting a bonus audio and the David audio on the same day because if so YAY!

T H

i'm sick in the head or i'm just a cancer but the amount of times i've listened to the milo audio in which he's freaking out bc he can't shift is a bit concerning

Green Blue

I like reverse comfort because it provides a closer look into a characters mental state and shows their base insecurities/things they hold in high regard.

Allegory of Wolves

I hope, I didn't cheat when I voted for all three options. X'D Personally, I like a healthy mix of all of it. I love the more plot-driven audios, because the world you've created and the characters in it are so rich and deep, and I just want to know what happens next. But then, especially when my very favorite characters are starring, I definitely also absolutely love both types of comfort audios. Life is kinda rough for me most of the time, so relaxing to an audio in which my fictional crushes comfort me is a really nice treat. But the entire stories feel more real and realistic, when we, as the listener, also get to comfort the other character. Because that's how it would be in real life, too. At least in a healthy relationship (of any kind) it's always a give and take. So, yeah, I can't choose. Especially, since everything and anything you make is always so good. ♥

Allegory of Wolves

I couldn't decide, because I like all three options. But what you said here is a good point!

Wurm

I LOOOVEEEE REVERSE COMFORT ☹️😭🩷🩷🩷 RAAHHHH

Wurm

i eat it up every single time EVERY TIME

Katie

Giving or receiving emotional comfort I like, I just started a new job and the amount of times I’ve had to pull of of the anxiety videos (if I was able) is crazy

rarelyisa

the characters need some comfort too <3 both giving and receiving is fine by me

Meg

I enjoy both and like having a mixture of the two personally

Cynthia Collie

There should be a fourth option, all of the above

ReplayCamera2 Chloe

While I enjoy a good comfort audio, I feel like reverse-comfort is criminally underrated. There’s something to be said about the feeling of being able to say the right words to ease the weight on a loved one’s shoulders. It makes you feel capable in a different way than being comforted does. “Comfort given is comfort gained.”

Keara

I love both reverse comfort and comfort audios but life is so sucky rn with losing both of my brothers in the span of three weeks I need some comfort in my life 😭

Akira Ghost Fox

These are always some of the best to me especually times when I'm going to bed after having a lot going on in my life that day or theoughout the week-month or what not, they actually are very comforting to me and help me feel a bit more at ease and such. Not best way for me to put that all but it was best I could word it . X x" But also, as always, thank you always for your amazing audios you make for all of us to enjoy Erik. ♡

Sweepy

I love both personally, but I think quantity wise, there’s more ‘listener being comforted’ videos out there rather than “listener doing the comforting’ videos, and just for something different I’d love to see some more of the listener comforting the bois ☺️

Flying Icarus

I really like reverse comfort but I can also enjoy being comforted, I'll support both options.

Shae D'Amora

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. 💜

L.L

I love when the listener characters are able to give comfort to a character! It is just 🥰

Eli (Lio) ♡

i’m a sucker for reverse comfort ♡

Kalida

I listen to most types but the ones I go back to, have on repeat, sleep to, and keep in mind are the being comforted. but I'm also a broken person in a weird situation and this is my only constant source of real comfort so *shrug*

Ren

honestly, love all three But I think recently I've loved the ones that involve magic more (Asher's shifting videos as well as David's, Geordi learning about telepathy, sweetheart healing Milo and Sam healing darlin) I think it's a cool mix of the lore but also furthering the character relationships. I also just really want to hear how Asher and David told their partners bc I know Ash's has to be funny asf. I also really want him and baabe to get more character development as a whole. ALSO ALSO ... please give us caelum... just a little. Just like 3 minutes I miss my son. (jk make what makes you most happy haha unless)

Audrey

I totally listen to comfort audios to go to sleep. 😴 I maladaptive daydream & I love being comforted by my favorite fictional characters 🩵

Tals

A comfort audio towards Darlin’ from the pack boys! I could really use a comfort audio this month and it feels like we never got that closure on Darlin’s Quinn storyline where we see their pack mates rallying behind them to protect and comfort them after the immense trauma they’d just been through with Quinn (and must still be going through considering Quinn still lives). If doing an audio with all the boys (David, Milo and Asher) is too much it would mean the world to me to have a dedicated audio between David and Darlin’ to mirror their only other solo audio together where David chews them out for lying about Quinn without fully understanding the abuse and isolation Quinn put Darlin’ through. A cameo from Milo would perfect it since we’ve never had a Milo/Darlin’ audio (where as we’ve had a really touching Asher/Darlin’ audio). This has been my comfort series as I relate heavily to Darlin’ and find David protectiveness, growth and relationship with them to be incredibly touching and meaningful. It would mean the world to have this audio added to the repertoire as I was surprised that we never really got much acknowledgment of Darlin’s immense trauma following the conclusion of the Quinn arc. Edited for spelling. 👀

Shae D'Amora

Being comforted is always my favorite because those audios literally save my fuckin sanity some days. 😩 BUT I’m always down to mix things up. I love the character development/bits of backstory we get with the other two options, and some days I crave a little more of that. I think it’d be cool to hear more of Darlin’ with the wolf bois too, especially while they think over whether or not to spend life as a vamp with Sam. I’ve also been thinking about Vincent. I think it’d be cool to have a reverse nightmare comfort or something for him since he’s done it a few times for us, and maybe hear a little more about his human life. TLDR, I have a fave, but I’m also just down for whatever lol 💜

Char

I found this channel during a dark time in my life, and the comfort audios helped so much and still help. So I'll always choose those.

Thewildworm

Everyone voting for the comfort… are yous ok?

Sya

I need an argument audio. Like an argument, make up audio from Gavin specifically bcs I wanna knw the dynamic of that interaction since gavin can sense freelancer's emotion.

gwenifred

See, I enjoy recieving comfort from the characters; Like the Milo panic attack video is so good and I love it. But I think I like it when it adds more to the Listeners too. Just like how Angel had a bad day and was comforted by David. I think it when the comfort kinds plays into the world that they're in a little bit.

alida

please, i beg for more people to choose the last one. i feel like the storylines are already heavy enough, so to have more light-hearted audios would be refreshing. don’t get me wrong, an argument audio would be great (🙏🏾), but slice of life audios for lasko or guy for example would be even better in my opinion!

Jesper

1. I’m forever begging for Lasko content of any kind 🫡 ( We are campaigning for a flashback BA of Gavin + Lasko @ 7/11 — join our cause!) 2. An argument audio is such a good request (I miss Geordi so much 😭 Also thinking of that one “Alpha Confronts You” audio where David + Sams listener have words. Ooh and that Porter + Vinny audio!)

☆Estelle☾︎

To be honest I'm just happy you posted regardless of what video it is ^^

nugget cherub

I feel like we haven'y gotten a reverse comfort video in a while, so that would be nice

Fleur

I like it when characters have an equal mix of the 3 tbh :)

caphesuadaddi

Omg I wanna see their 7/11 adventures soooo bad😫😫 BUT I so want another hush audio of him cooking or the listener cooking for him and him finally tasting yum food that’ll be soooo cute

caphesuadaddi

I’ve been having a rather rough patch with a lot of problems so I’d honestly love any video you put out! To me anything you drop is enough to improve my day. If had to choose I really like the last option or the option that’ll allow another Hush audio I would absolutely adore a lighthearted cooking audio of either of them cooking for each other and hush learning more and even tasting food for the first time (I think). Or just porter being porter, or a Georgie video :000

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

I love a good campaign, and I AM ALL ON BOARD for the Gavin and Lasko 7/11 BA!! I still revisit the Gavin Voyeur Lasko 3-way a little too frequently 😏 Tell me what I can do to help the cause!!! I'm not above begging if that's what it takes lol.

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

I'm clearly in a minority where story trumps comfort in either direction. I find most of the videos work as comfort for me (biggest exception being Inversion, of course), but I love when we get the plot movement. The sound and cadence of your voice is what is most comforting and relaxing for me. I've been known to fall asleep to Imperium because I love that AU plotline so much. My absolute favorite comfort videos are Avior talking about Aria while comforting Starlight after they fell and Regulus telling the story of Min'Ara and E'Laetum as a bedtime story. I love all the bois in their own special ways, and I revisits a lot of different videos, but I will binge the Imperium or Sovereign State playlists because I am drawn so much into the world as well as the people. Not sure all that makes sense, and maybe I just interact weirdly with the content. I love it all, but I am lore-driven (and a sucker for a good Hush blood-bath lol).

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

I'm sorry you're having a rough patch. I hope it sorts itself out well for you soon 💜 I am a sucker for Hush and I'm anxiously awaiting his return 🤭

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

Well, broken person in a weird situation, I'm just gonna have to send you a hug and a heart and hope it at least makes you smile for a moment 🤗💜 I always look for your comments on the videos...they make me smile!

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

YES!!! Another lore-driven world adventurer!!! I would take comfort or reverse comfort WITH lore over anything else!! Wish that was an option 🤔😏

Kalida

🥺🥺🥺👉👈 augh ur too sweet... ohoh curious for the lore person!! did u get a chance to watch the reductive facts vid yet??

Dana Antionette

I wanna feel like I’m being hunted 😭

Loosecat 56

I like both, and I want it to support the story

c

As a small need: A super angsty touch-starved for the listener prime James confession video from friends to (??? If it’s similar to the BA) to lovers 😭🙏🏻

Yami Espinoza

Is there going to be more honey moon audios???

Jesper

Oh my GOD, A SOFT DOMESTIC HUSH AUDIO!! That’s an excellent request.

Jesper

A COMRADE 🤝🫡 My strategy thus far consists of: -Repetition —I.e. commenting the request, on any and all of Erik’s relevant (sometimes semi relevant, lmao) uploads. -Volume —I.e engaging with the original thread where I dropped the idea, I think it’s the first Lasko/ canon listener BA. (Which has gained so much attention and makes me happy — Lasko, our sweet boii, you’re beloved by all!)

alida

i’m literally obsessed with lasko’s storyline rn, so i’ve been listening to his playlist on repeat for the past week…i live for the lasko & dear content, and i need more of it (feed me now 😾)!!
