Oh god I’m in tears right now but sam is definitely MVP thank god for him honestly but I can’t wait for finale and hope everything will be okay I’m so proud of my boys milo and lasko standing up for everyone cause this is just so much we need everyone on broad on this . Plus I’m worried about Gavin poor baby going through it but pushing through I love him so much ❤️ ugh my heart feels like it’s crying rn but this just so amazing my god Erik you mad genius you are incredible my guy to point of tears I know this not everyone’s cup of tea but this so we’ll done I appreciate your work!

Angel

Erik thank you so much for this series!!! You are a blessing and on my god is your work absolutely breathtaking

Misty-Dawn

I think cliffhangers that leave you emotional should be illegal. Like I knew that eventually lovely would have to be changed but I did not see it going down this way. Also, Lasko doing what he can to help. Ugh my heart. Now to wait and see where else Erik is going to hit us with the feels.

Taylor

Emotional Damage!!! 😫🤕

Angel

Hearing David cry literally tore a hole in my heart oh my god, you could literally hear the pain in his voice and it was absolutely heartbreaking!!!! My god I am so glad Asher is okay!!! I have so much respect for Sam rn, he is a GOD and they are so lucky to have him!!! Lovely and Vincent have come so far and it sucks that it had to happen but I’m glad he was able to save them!!! And don’t get me started on Gavin, he’s saving so many people and I know it’s hard as fuck so I’m so happy FL is there to help him!!! Lasko and Milo are coming in clutch and fuckin shit up and I’m HERE FOR IT

Saya

I’m convinced Erik had to kick some puppies or something in order for his voice to sound this realistic. Like I’m kidding obviously but holy SHIT this is phenomenal voice acting and story telling and sir I’m nominating you for an Oscar for David’s part alone. We’ll done you tortuous King 👑

Jameson

Yup. Yeah, that's who I thought it would be. Kinda wish Sam had done the doing, cause the power dynamic now is just....😬 But I get it and this whole series breaks my heart and I LOVE it! Well done, Erik! You are doing an AMAZING job! And Asher! UGH! DAVID!!!! I am so rooting for these two, because they deserve the chance to continue to work on the way their relationship will work now! And brave, sweet Lasko! MAH BEHBEH!😫💙 Don't mind me as I sob over Gavin after having squeezed my pillow so tight when he asked to be held that fluff escaped! Now all I need to do is PANIC about Huxley!😱😱😱

Lil.Daemon

RIGHT?!! Like Sirrrr, who hurt you so bad that you were able to voice thisss?😩👑

LaLuna8

Yo Lasky? You dropped this👑✨

justsomepancakes

Okay. Okay. Mhm. But- Lovely’s new zappy powers- and- and now Vincent is their Maker…. That comes with a lot of baggage, right??! The inability to lie, the invoking, the empathetic bond…. I don’t know how I feel about this. I’m going to tell myself that Vincent had an upper hand in their inherent power-imbalance from day one and it wasn’t an issue with them. So it won’t be now. He was always faster, stronger, and able to trance them. But they view each other as equals and that won’t change… . Everything is okay. Lovely won’t miss their powers much. Or the sunshine. Or whatever friends and family they had left. Everything will be fine. Yeah. Everything will be fine. Always thought I would just be happy they were immortal if they turned….but I’m feeling really conflicted and sad for them, actually. The whole episode was amazing, though. So much action and so many moving pieces…. This is nuts.

Chuff

And to think that they're just new to the academy and new to the ways they could demonstrate their powers, even earning an award for it, only for them to leave all of it behind in just one day. The aftershock will come inevitably.

Ollie

I love that Erik asked everyone to take care of their mental health but I have a feeling almost no one did that. So now everyone is emotionally damaged from what's going on and we will completely crumble on the 20th. ALSO, can we talk about how Vincent was like "it'll be a new life " AS IF LISTENER DIDN'T JUST START THEIR NEW LIFE. yes it may have been a year, since it all happened but you can't say it wasn't still like brand freaking new.

Saya

It’s hard to take care of your mental health when you don’t realize a DUMPTRUCK is heading your way full speed 😂 but you’re totally right, nobody was prepared for this

SebCastellanYES

If I was not already head over heels off a cliff in love with Gavin. Must protect at all costs. Also Sam’s voice and the way he speaks could talk me through anything. I could find the courage to perform complicated brain surgery as long as he was reading the wiki-how page.

Othello

Ok, some time after listening to this, two things. 1) Your voice acting truly is phenomenal, and I will continue to say it. There are professional voice actors that fail to portray half the emotion that you do. 2) This set of videos has been amazing, and I really look forward to seeing how the stories continue.

Robin

It's been over an hour since listening to this and the tears are still streaming down my face. I cannot stop crying. I care so much for each of these characters and listeners.

Wonka79

I love how I don't even need to watch the YT version for the transitions, I recognize every single character ❤

Jessthelazyone

when i tell you i am too emotionally attached to these characters i mean i am WAY too emotionally attached. but oh my god this is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!

Shane

Okay this sounds so stupid but I can't find the transcript and am a bit too anxious to listen rn...can anyone tell me what happens with Davey? Sorry

Chuff

Perhaps Erik hasn't uploaded it yet. We have to wait I guess

BlackViolet

I stg I have never NEVER been so happy to hear a smart ass 'ow' ! *Throws a pillow at Erik* This whole thing hurts. You have gotten a bit to good, damn it

Shane

Of course,and with all that he's doing that's totally fair (thanks Erik!) I think I'm legit just too anxious rn. I just hope Davey and Angel are okay...

Litlkim

Yeah, it’s not there yet. There is a lot of back and forth dialogue, as well as, switching scenes between characters. May just be taking a bit longer to write ☺️

juli

well this is not ideal

juli

however i can’t lie i am kinda enjoying the declarations of love that we’re getting, the circumstances of those declarations...not so much

Nikki 5¢

To think the turning of lovely would have come this sudden and unexpectedly is saddening. Vincent feels that way especially it wasn’t a topic that wasn’t meant to be brought up any time soon. It’s a lot for everything to settle in let alone there being any time to even think about what just happened. It was either them being together forever or not at all :( that in itself must have been so heartbreaking for Vincent. And to also think about how lovely has to adjust to a new life once again after what seemed like they had already gotten comfortable with the new life they found themselves in Ahhhhh just how everything is going down is so intense but the acting, storyline, EMOTIONS… it’s all so so so good. Pure art. I’m both anxiously and excitingly waiting to what will happen next

SebCastellanYES

You can’t do that, man. We had David in wolf form yelping (I audibly whimpered so so loudly) then it sounds like Vincent was holding down a shade for Lovely to Pikachu while he was in range of their powers? And then Lovely gets hit (okay fucking terrifying thanks) and then Ash gets hit. FOUR OF THEM GETTINGN HIT AT ONCE IN A SPAN OF LIKE 6 SECONDS??? I was fucking rabid. David’s call for Sam tho. It sliced my heart open. The fight noises alone got my head knocked around something insane. I cheered each time I heard the electricity attacks. Idk how many times I’ve commented here and on the yt version. I’m sorry. I’m just in absolute awe.

Idoken27

Im so emotional rn omg this ending will have me in tears I swear

Gemini

👏🏼This👏🏼series👏🏼is👏🏼so👏🏼good👏🏼but👏🏼it👏🏼is👏🏼stressing👏🏼me👏🏼out👏🏼 😭

chloe

To many emotions 🤯🤯 but I love it so much, you make amazing content and I am so happy that I found ur channel when I did

Syn Unknown

You are so damn talented man. The work you put in, is amazing. Thank you SO MUCH for all the work you do for us. I know I'm ALWAYS grateful to be able to listen to your work. ^^

Lovely Deviant Alyssa

Just when I think that there's no way this content could get any more astounding, absorbing, and amazing... It does! I'm truly speechless. It's a good thing I was sitting down while listening to this. The adrenaline and intensity made my whole body feel like it was the consistency of jelly! 🤯 God, my jaw is still on the floor right now! Where do I even begin? — GAVIN!!!! 😭❤😭❤😭🥺💔🥺💔 (Need I say more? I would move mountains to protect this fictional man!) I'm just... * *feral screeching out of love* * — I love the interaction between Milo and Lasko so much! My heart! I'm so proud of them both! — David, Asher, and Sam... I am positively weeping 🥺💔 And so relieved! ... "Ow."😭💗 — I loved the fight between Sam and that Shade! Hell yeah, get 'em, Sam 😎 And have I taken the time to mention how fantastic all the sound design is? Because it is unparalleled! It's so atmospheric and cinematic! I don't just hear this story, I FEEL IT!!! — Oh no no no no no. The very SECOND that Shade touched Vincent, as a listener, I was ready to defend!!! ⚡⚡⚡ — Oh damn, this is really it 😧 Well, this seems fitting. A Vincent audio was the first Redacted content that I ever experienced, and Vincent was the first Redacted character to steal my heart ❤ So, it seems very poetically fitting that, in Vincent's words, "It's forever." I've always loved Vampires, and the Gothic romance of it all. So, at the line, "I love you. And I will spend eternity at your side if you’d let me." — Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! 😍 Eternity with Vincent IT IS! Absolutely! If the listener had to die, I for one am glad it happened while protecting loved ones. I personally wouldn't have wanted things any other way 💗 And it should be noted that I was just openly shedding tears throughout this entire scene, too! ❤🤧 To put it simply: Every second of this was equal parts marvelous, frightening, and heartbreaking! See you tomorrow, for the finale!

Kayla

All these characters are going to need some hecka good therapy after this. And by all I mean ALL of them had better make it out of this. 😭

LexB

Can anyone say ✨emotional trauma✨ 😭
