I am holding myself from listening so that I cam binge it all at once. Oh God. From the comments from previous audios, my anticipation is getting fired up >.<

ERIK MY DUDE GO TO BED??????

mars

hi I tend to just lurk and enjoy the content but I have so many feelings bro both about this specific plot line and the channel and I just gotta- I've always felt that Ash and David had the kind of chemistry that could be romantic in another life, especially after Inversion. I wholeheartedly think "soulmates" are made and that romantic love is (or should be, when it's good) just friendship and then some, so seeing the way you change relationship dynamics between Imperium and Prime just makes so much sense both to me personally and in the way I write and understand narrative as a fluid malleable thing. The way Imperium!Asher has always talked about David I had my suspicions, but having it not so subtlety hinted in the last audio crushed me, and the confirmation in this one disintegrated whatever was left. I kid you not the amount of times your channel's made me sob I should sue for emotional damages. And Erik! Fuck dude! I love the way you write! Your ability to craft such three dimensional, full characters will never not fucking astound me. And your world building!! I know a lot of people aren't super keen on Echotober/the Imperium but I fucking love seeing you stretch your writing muscles with a different kind of story. The universe/s you've built feel so full and real and I spend so much of my time asking questions about the intricacies of them, which I think is just another fucking example of how wonderful your writing is. The questions I have are never the confused, plot hole poking kind, more the ravenously curious sort that good stories worm into your brain and produce. I'm an artist, animation and sequential storytelling like comics are my thing so writing is important to me too, and I'm constantly so inspired by your stuff. All of it. The characters and how they interact with and influence the world and other characters around them, the river of death?????????? the meridian???????? (the way you framed it as an almost folktale/fable in the regulus video, the kind that you're told when you should be too young to remember it as well as you do now?? fuck you Erik), your use of classic fantasy and magic tropes and archetypes in a way that feels so specifically, uniquely a part of the Redactedverse???? I can't. I haven't found myself so fixated on a world and it's characters in a while, and it just makes me want to make more too. The entire channel immediately pulls me out of art/writers block (even your monthly recaps are some of my favourites because i love getting little peaks into your brain) and I couldn't be more grateful for that :)). And! on top of all that! Your passion and hard work for it all, fuck me dude, if I could have a drop of it I'd be set for fucking ever. So yeah. That was my TedTalk I guess. Thanks for all the hard work you put in, especially after the nightmare September you and the channel had. I'm fucking stoked for the rest of October (i mean also absolutely filled with dread, my poor boys :')), I'll be so sad it's over but god dude more fucking props on creating an entire world just to destroy it) and I hope you take a good ass break at the end of it all because fuck dude I don't know how you do it, you deserve one.

What a treat to see this posted as soon as I wake up this morning. But also posted at 4am???? Boy get some sleep 😂 After listening: Welp. There's my heart on the floor, in case you missed it. Devastated that Asher and Babe aren't together, even more devastated that Asher and David were mates and my poor heartbroken boy just needs a reason to keep going. Alexis is a monster, and I can't wait to see this confrontation. o:

Syn Unknown

Right through the heart. It's a weird feeling listening to this pain while dealing with my own. It's a comfort I wasn't expecting. Thank you for all you do.

Saya

I wonder if Alexis is the massmaker all vampires are tied to… or if Erik will introduce another character to be that person… and correct me if I’m wrong bc I’m dying to know… but I don’t think we know of any other vamps that it could be. Adam is dead, Quinn doesn’t seem like he’s the controller of it all, William doesn’t seem like the one either. Sam obv has his own thing going on with it… so that leaves Alexis as the last known vamp old enough for it to possibly be… idk just a hunch but hmmmm, it’s interesting don’t you think?

Zuko

I’m missing this mate drop part—is it inferred or stated and if so where is it stated?

Redacted Audio

The listener in this video is "Babe" (the same listener from the Imperium Pack audio last year. "Darlin"s unnamed unempowered friend (the Imperium version of the person that Quinn attacked in the Prime Universe that set them on their quest for revenge there) was found and tortured by Quinn and Alexis in this universe. "Darlin" and David were the two pack members that got there first to try and save them, and were killed. David and Asher were mates in this universe.

Saw the “more than a promise” callback and knew this was gonna be a rough one, but wonderfully executed as usual. The math is definitely mathing. Take her out Ash. Thank you for everything! 🙌

Alexis Brown

Omg we are in for a treat! I did not know you shared a new audio. I can't believe how wonderful your writing is. You have such wonderful Talent. Hands down this has been the best episode so far. Thank you for all the hard work that you do! I am so glad to be a member of this channel. It's like the characters come to life when you speak and I keep thinking about how this would look animated. It's so so good. Have a good rest of your week.

SilenceIsGolden

Can someone explain to me why I’m NOT struggling to see David and Asher together as mates🤔??? I went and relistened to Inversion and yeah, the math is actually mathing here and I can 100% get behind this. Too bad David is gone and we’ll never get to see how they were together as mates 😭

MadnessInABox

I would give everything in me for Ash to get his revenge and for the others to be free of that awful academy. I love the main storyline, I always will, but I really like this dark and more somber reality too. For completely different reasons
