Angelixia

highkeymika

BRO WTF THE LOOORRREEEEEE SO THATS WHY BLAKE IS SO HELL BENT ON GETTING ACCESS TO THE SOVEREIGNS , WHATEVER CAUSES HIS LISTENER TO DIE HE CANT SEE WITH THE SIGHT BC ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT ON THIS PLANE ??? BRO THIS IS WILD I CANT DEAL WITH THIS , WHAT IS IT WITH OTHERWORLDLY POWERS AND WANTING LISTENER CHARACTERS (FIRST STARLIGHT AND NOW BLAKES LISTENER) ERIK UR MIND

Georgia Morgan

so i did indeed just listen to this at work and tried my best to seem normal from the outside…BUT IM FREAKING OUT!!!!! this is so good and i could never have guessed blake’s “truth”

Idoken27

Ahhhhhhh this was too much info to process first thing in the morning but omg I hope we get some answers asap (and escape you know but I wont hold my breath for a happy ending here)

Aria

this audio was such a good thing to wake up to a notif of (the rollercoaster of emotions woke me up all the way). the anxiety of "the fun place," the horror of realizing what is held in there, and the relief when brachium shows up. this whole audio was amazing!

Origene

Oof poor Sunshine…Homeboys coming in with reinforced purpose…

Loosecat 56

Sunshines probably glad to go back in the basement after this...

Origene

HOLY FUCKING SHIT…Blake just got so much scarier. The fact that he was able to mimic being specialized in a different form of magic is a testament to how strong he really is. Get him Brachium 🔥 If they die in HIS arms in every reality, did Blake ever stop to think maybe he’s going to be the death of his “friend”?

Litlkim

Incredible…as usual. The writing is amazing, and those sound effects *chef’s kiss* Instantly brought back the uneasy feelings we remember so well from Inversion.

BruuuUh that plot twist was DELICIOUS, and so unexpected (at least to me pfft)!!! But it all makes SO much sense now!! And the suspense, fear and dread from Sunshine's pov throughout the entire thing just tied it all together so terrifyingly well! Just the feeling and knowledge that they're completely helpless and unable to control any of this, only being used as a glorified chatroom is so horrifying, but so, so good!!! God this installment has me in a chokehold, and I'm gonna be (internally) screaming about this for at least the rest of the day!! Thank you for the food, Erik!

Min

Holy shit PLOT TWIIIIIST!! I have a feeling the friend dies because of Blake's actions and all the choices he's made end up killing them. But holy shit that was so cool! You're great work is heavily appreciated Erik! 👍

Panicked Koala

The things. First HOLY SHIT the lore Is fantastic. Second sunshine needs a hug, a cup of hot chocolate, and large amounts of therapy after all of this.

RainyDay

Oh god gimme a sec my heart is SLAMMING My brain is gonna explode this was so crazy, Blake is a seer??! Closeknit just has some shades that they've been feeding?! The number of people that must've just disappeared into this building and never come out...fuck! And dangling sunshine in front of it like a piece of meat hnggggg the ice cold fucking fear in my veins, that was so unreal. Blake really is a reckless fool but there's something about a man so desperate to save one person and so sure he can do it that he'll burn the world down just for their sake. I like the theories floating around in here that he's the catalyst for his love's demise; if he'd just stop playing around with death and trying to stick his head in it maybe they'd be safe, or if he just let go of them and let them live their life without him. I want him to fail; for him to realize he doesn't ultimately have the power to get whatever he wants, he can't play with other's lives like this but I think hearing him lose his partner will shatter me also. Goddamn and Brachium getting pissed too, that effect was SO badass, I got straight up chills. "Some friend you've got there" YOU BETTER BELEIVE IT

Kestrel

Brachium just moved up SO many spaces in my favorites board.....! That was terrifying from him. Everytime I think you cant outdo yourself Erik... you prove me so wrong. Stellar performance and lore drop!

Cr1ms0n

I got chills! This was so cool!

Hot Dog

This was INCREDIBLE and I am on my knees begging for more

Rinzler

Bachium!!! His voice as he gets more agitated, the threats, the way my heart started pounding as soon as the shade started shading...top tier🌟🌟 I kind of pity Blake. How delusional with grief do you have to be to become what he's become? And surely he doesn't expect the Sovereign to answer him for free? Plus, if they do answer, what makes him think that he can trust anything they say? I guess this is his last option so he'll just burn everything to try and make it work.

theSpooder

… wait…. You’re going to leave us here!?! This weekend was the push for this story- OHMIGAWD are you gonna leave us here!?! No no Erik, I can’t suffer this way, I need to know the answers, I need more baby brachium, I love him- ohmigawd you can’t leave us here! I will become like the Catty Wampus and cry and plead at the door frame begging to be let in— please don’t make me beg. I’m dying… 🫠🫠

Callisto

I am now desperate to know what's going on with Blake's powers in the Imperium

Sopping Wet Balls

Erik is FEEDING us this weekend wtf!! I’m not complaining tho 🤣🤣😫

kousenjuu

oh go OFF BRACHIUM 🔥🔥🔥🔥 damn... not that I totally did expect Blake to be a Seer - cuz yeah, I was pretty much counting on it for the sake of more juicy, angsty Erik plots - but I reeeeaaallllyyy was hoping the Seer of the pair would be his listener and that they were already content to know their fate, despite Blake's attempts at interference. anyways, gotDAMN my guy, you're feeding us so well. 🥺💞 don't forget to take breaks and hydrate and stay well ✨✨

MissRaptor

The way you can *paint with sound.* This one really reminded me of when Elliott was creating the dreamscape, and how I could see everything going on so easily. It’s phenomenal. It’s terrifying. I just wanna CRY, this story is so good. My heart was in my throat with all the chills, and that massive wave of dread that would not let up! I was literally cold even with a heating blanket! I loooved the desperate grit in Blake’s voice. Just all of it. ALL of it’s good. Poor Elliott, my god. And he’s not doing the best of things, but how can you not pity Blake? That’s so sad. I’ve absolutely loved Brachium since his very first video, so seeing him become this massive protective force to be reckoned with is *magnificent.* My only complaint is that we’re left here! Nooooo! I will be waiting (semi-)patiently for the next chapter, and for the hell that’s in store!

Mands

I swear with every new insight into Blake, the song Love Me Like You Used To by Lord Huron hits harder than the last. 🥲
