Syn Unknown

I would also like to say... watching your discord absolutely lose it this afternoon is going to give me so much serotonin. 😈

Domini Moonbeam

Oh my gosh that was AMAZING! How did you manage to do an action scene with only audio! This was so impressive. And, selfishly, I'm crazy relieved about what the cost was...

Lauren

Holy SHIT I am so relieved. GOOD RIDDANCE, STALKER

Litlkim

Yes, I liked the Ivan storyline. But considering it’s been 4 months since we’ve seen him, it’s safe to say there wasn’t much left to tell. So he was probably going away soon anyway. I’m content with the fact Erik gave him some redemption with finding out it wasn’t ALL his doing. Ps...I’ve been dying for the Caelum/Gavin video and it did not disappoint ❤️🥺

Nice way to wrap this up. 👏👏👏👏 Thanks for all your hard work!

Gavin and FL: *doing their thing* Caelum: “I- I’m ready.” 👁👄👁

luce

heavy spoilers for anyone looking in the comments before the video !!! OH MY GOD I V A N???? WE KNEW IT WE GOT ONE RIGHT ????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was incredible holy shit, the fight scene?? Gavin popping tf OFF?? caelum being soft ??? FREELANCER GETTING A POP IN AT VEGA???? THIS IS INSANE I HAVE ASCENDED ONCE AGAIN OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS gavin really beat Vega with pure horny power huh LMAO NO MORE IVAN??? THATS THE COST?? ECHOS RIGHT IM S A D gavin watching MMaM has destroyed me ~cough~ this was insanely good, the characterisation, the pacing, everything was so well thought out, and the emotional whiplash I experienced my poor little babie heart cannot handle

Anonymous

This was honestly amazing. Good job, Erik!

MercuryMist

Was so so terrified that something was going to happen to Gavin like. You have no idea. I was like, “don’t hurt the baby!”

Saya Lanous

Omg! I can't wait to get off work! I've been waiting for this! 😄

Saint Cupid

In all seriousness, putting two of my favorite characters in the same video AND involving the lore dump has me emotional- That was better than anything I was expecting, especially the sweet Gavin and Caelum interactions 🥺🥺 I really, really hope we see more of those but until then, I’m gonna go cry of happiness. Maybe go make some fan art later, who knows-

Meh-meh-meh

Listens once while half skipping through cause ✨anxiety✨, immediately listens again to actually hear the whole thing 💕

OH YEAH, but the fight scene 😭🤚🏻 I wish we could’ve seen it pls, building the tension and not knowing who’s winning until the end had me going crazy

mela.ncholy.kaleidoscope

Damien treats Caelum like a little brother and it melts my heart. Oh my lord.

maya

Omg the emotional turmoil ;-; I’m so glad Gavin is okay, I was so fucking worried literally yelling DONT LEAVE HIM ALONE DONT LEAVE HIM ALONE but he’s okay :) also the bit about Ivan totally surprised me! I haven’t really watched his videos but the idea that what he did was because of Vega’s influence is just !!!! Amazing as always!!!

Michelle Rodriguez

I fucking new it! I am screaming internally! This was wonderful and amazing and I am fucking shaking! I thank you for yet another amazing audio

Saint Cupid

Wait, I just realized something. Vega’s tape logo is different here? Is this his new updated one, or just for the collab video? Either way, its impressive to see the long horns he has, never would’ve guessed.

Blu Skye

Never thought I'd say this, but, thank you, Echo. At least, thank you for being kinder than my anxiety brain and silencing the loop telling me, "you wanted to be close to Gavin. You did, and now it will hurt that much more when I take him away, or worse, turn him against you."

Nicholas Cooper

I know for a fact you didn’t just slap me awake like this

Bonnie

Wait, so you're telling me the anxiety I've been experiencing about what was going to happen to Gavin was unfounded? And the cost was a non-tragic ending to a storyline I never thought would have one? That's a surprisingly fair deal. Soooo...what's the catch? 😓

undeniablyEmily

The work that had to go into this for all the parts highlights fact that we get a whole fn cinematic experience each audio. THANK YOU for the time and effort and talent you put into them all. I know I don't always say that enough and simply greedily consume the result. But thank you. Also, my guy Gavin's quoting Clue having not seen it? I love it. ❤ And every bit of Caelum in any video is a little bit of sunshine. Thank you again for this.

Cantaloupe Propaganda

so it took two dedicated, involved daemons pulling strings and bending rules to end the crimes caused by a sadism daemon, who apparently, was acting within his rights? how far would it have had to go before magical authorities stepped in? gods, no wonder anti-daemon cult activity is on the rise these days.

DJ Freelove

First, **chefs kiss** because that. was. AWESOME. Second, NGL, I'm sad to see Ivan go, he's one of my favorite bois. 💔 The absolutely perfect amount of sweet and psycho. I must hold out hope that there is an 'after memory modification' follow-up to that storyline. Third, OMG, I am totally in awe that Gavin has been made the hero after his rather dubious beginning. And I love that Caelum came through, too. I wonder if he realized he had it in him the whole time. Erik, this is by far my favorite ASMR channel. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your stories. 💖

Sunny Cloud

I KNEW IT! I KNEWWWWWWW.

Barebear

BRAVO 👏🏼 ERIK 👏🏼 BRAVO holy shit this was incredible!! when I tell you my eyes flung OPEN and my heart skipped a beat when Caelum said “Ivan” 👀🤣 you are truly fantastic at what you do, and it is such a pleasure to listen and enjoy 🐻

Barebear

Caelum: killing vibes and lifting moods since 2020 🤣

Stormageddon

well i did not see that coming....

Origene

MY DUDE I PURPOSELY WENT TO BED EARLY TO GET REST FOR MY LONG SHIFT TODAY. *Sees Cost video upload* 😩😩😩 OOKAY...THE FUCKING SOUND DESIGN AND MINGLING OF CHARACTERS???? HOW- WHAT- AGHH Nope you’re not human, I’m convinced. THE FIGHT...WOAH WOAH WOAH! GAVIN YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND IVAN AND BABY HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! PFFFT “Sleepy time...well that was easy” KILLED ME. GAVIN TICKLING CAELUM I CANT WITH THE SAWFT AND SWEET AND WHOLESOMENESS. VERY MUCH NEEDED AFTER ALL THAT🙏 Wow...okay Echo I...heh...✨see✨ you. The cost was definitely worth it. Ivan is an amazing character and there’s a part of me that will miss him, but this was a very satisfying end to his story. What a way to do it too. You, my friend truly have a gift. I CANNOT stress that enough. This couldn’t have been easy to do. The hard work is abundantly clear and very much appreciated. This was an amazing week. I hope you get some rest! Alright, I’m going to take a nap before work 😂 Fingers crossed that I can get away to join the chaos on the Discord that will surely ensue once the video drops 😁

Rachel Lee

Ok. So...... The lore crossing that is happening is mind blowing!!!!!! I'm going insane!!

SaraJSweetheart

BEST. 30TH BIRTHDAY PRESENT. EVER 😍😍😍

Richard

Amazing video, tied very well together with different characters. I Know I always say it but great work Erik, keep it up!

SpunkyCatNinja

Happy Birthday! Hope it's absolutely fantastic!

Litlkim

It’s changed on his solo video, too 👍🏻

Anonymous

Oh thank god this ended the way it did. Echo is such a scary mf for real.

DarienOppal

My entire LIFE has just been made, this was so good. The storylines briefly mentioned was already really cool but confirmation that basically ALL of the characters we know are truly apart of a whole bigger picture? I'm THRIVING. I LIVE for content like this and we all thank you for providing.

annsushi

Can’t wait a nsfw audio with our incubus boyyy

Layne

Gotta say, this is probably the best way to go about doing away with Ivan. I loved each and every one of his videos (and his bonus audio lol), but now Baby gets to be free and hopefully without the horrible trauma that they would have ended up with♥️

Nightshade1217

This was so amazing you did a really great job of tying everything together with this one and finding a way to bring Ivan's series into a close in a very satisfying way and that little echo part was spot on looking forward to the next parts

blossomhazed

I absolutely loved this! So intense!

M

You are an amazing genius of a person... I can not believe the emotional journey I just went on! Gavin in fight mode? YES PLEASE. And THEN all sweet with Caelum? Ugh. My heart. Thank you for creating this for us you beautiful genius.

Fermata

Thats so true, Im sad to see it go, but I couldn't even imagine how awfully it would have ended if Gavin didn't step in.

Litlkim

Maybe it was me, but it seemed like Ivan’s voice and personality changed in his last video (the massage one) It was darker, like once he felt he “won” he didn’t have to play the innocent, lovable game...so I agree, there were only dark things left. So from Erik’s creative point of view, I totally get ending it. Although, I’ll miss those thumbnails ☺️ And like I said, I’m glad he “redeemed” him in the end. Maybe the extra video tomorrow is a short, put a bow on it, Ivan after memory modification *crosses fingers* lol

Layne

There already is! Trigger warning, it's pretty iffy on matters of, uh ... ... The very important concept of consent.

aimee

happy birthday!! 🎉🎊

SaraJSweetheart

Hands up if you think this is the PERFECT place for a Gavin age-restricted audio to start? 😍😍😍

Tiffany

Awesome video! The ultimate crossover! MCU who. Love the interactions between Caelum and Gavin. So worth the wait! I kinda knew Echo's price wouldn't be that bad. Love the sound editing too! Great work!

lifeisspaghetti11

Would....would you ever consider making a D.A.M.N NSFW bonus audio?

Litlkim

Completely agree with your entire Ivan comment! ❤️👍🏻

Cen

SIR WTF....WTF? WR€7

Cen

I need a moment

Sue-bae

like this is so HUGE!!! how freaking exciting!!!! This episode kept me on the seat of my chair the whole time. And just done so amazingly well, like the quality matches that of big production series. I LOVED gavin and caelum working together, SO CUTE. and gavin being all protector, mmmm hits different, he's really growing into someone I can see freelancer with, giving the bois a run for their money.... BUT VEGA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IVANNN???? SCREAMINGGGG, its all piecing together and I cant contain myself. meeep

Cen

Bruh 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😳😳😳😳😳 ... wow. That was sooo gooooood!! I loved the idea of gavin fighting to protect them 😭 and them all three together cures my depression, cleans my skin and waters my crops. I JUST DIED WHEN GAVIN HUGGED CAELUM THANK YOU FOR THAT 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 i always wanted them to be friends! And now... to the price...... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Annie

Oh my god! That was so good and such a roller like damn!!!! I really gasped so loudly when I realized how everything connected plus Gavin and Caelum interacting is my new favorite thing ah my heart is so full 😌❤ thank you for making this!!!!

Kathy Mc

Erik, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You are a Goddamn genius at writing, storytelling, pacing, sound , and emotional angst! This was so great and thank God we can leave Ivan to his sad end. I am just exhausted going through this shit storm of chills and sweetness. Bravo!!💞💞

lucy

i’m so scared i literally don’t wanna watch this

lucy

i survived 🥳

lucy

i can’t even imagine how long this took to make and edit but lemme tell you it turned out amazing!! so worth the wait :)

Icarus

yooooooooooooooooo

Frose

Bro my jaw hit the floor

SaraJSweetheart

Thanks guys 😘😭 (but it's a bit sad I have 3 older bro's, and more of you guys wished me happy birthday then them...)

Anonymous

Omg....Erik you gawddamn GENIUS!!! I am also having way too many emotions for one audio. Bruh, my chest organs are vibrating. I can't deal. I'm thrilled and disgusted. I wasn't ready for a sacrificial lamb situbation. R.I.P. Baby

DarienOppal

Since this is an installment to the D.A.M.N. series as a whole, Ivan is canonically off and will return to the person he was... Though it makes me wonder if the council will also look at any relationship or contact ivan made changing because of Vega's appearance? Because of his last voicemail to his ex and all.

Jessica

Neither was I ...holy moly

Jesterstar

IM NOT EVEN SAD IVANS GONE THAT WAS AMAZING ERIK!!! You’re so good at storytelling and writing!!!

Damren

Heck yeah! We got rescued from Ivan! I really hope Ivan doesn’t get away scot free tho and actually goes to human jail for what he did. I can’t imagine the emotional trauma the listener in that situation must have had. I’m hoping we get some sort of epilogue for the Ivan story.

StrayDryad

Wow, I'm at a loss for words! That was such an incredible crossover and that fight scene sounded absolutely wicked! Seeing these storylines being weaved together is really cool. Keep up the great work, you seriously have a knack for storytelling!

JJM

God I love Caellum! Such a sweet baby!

1Slightly_Mad1

I didn't say this when it came out, but I legit took time out of my work day to stop and listen to this. 😅
