FINALLY lol. Got the hard drive back today and they were able to recover everything on it, so we're officially back in business on that front.i also want to say thank you again for all the kind words and thoughts. i'm doing a lot better now that we've settled a lot of the affairs. from the start of this, most of my emotional strain has been in service of helping out the family members who were much closer to my grandpa than I was, namely my parents. my grandpa and i weren't particularly close by the end, but it's been very hard for them, my mom especially, so I've been doing everything i can to help them out. it's been a lot, but it's in a good spot now (good as it can be, at least). i've been passing along the sweet messages you all sent and it's really meant a lot to them as well, so thank you again for that kindness. it's been deeply felt and appreciated.i think friday/saturday will be the Guy video that won the poll. there's certainly the possibility of that not working out, but that's the plan for now. and monday/tuesday will then be the Quinn/Darlin video before we start HBS. i hope you all are well. see ya soon.*** Edit: so that plan didn't work out. The good luck took a bit of a turn practically as soon as I finished writing this original post; Friday and this weekend got completely eaten up with more grandpa stuff. The Darlin'/Quinn video will still release Monday/Tuesday. I'll get the Guy video together at some point soon. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the further delay.

✨Starlight Angel Baaabe🩷

I'm so happy to hear you are doing better. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have stumbled on this incredible community that you have built! I have to admit that I came for the bonus videos 😈 but I have stayed for the support and love in this group. Getting to participate in these conversations brings so much depth to these videos, and the openness and authenticity of feelings you bring makes them so much more meaningful. Knowing what you are going through and hearing that emotion come out when Ollie said how tired he was in more ways than one made my heart hurt a little bit for you. Thank you for this world you have built for us! We wish you all the best and know we are here for you always! 💖💖💖

theSpooder

Ohhh what awesome news, yay for the data dudes~! Thanks for the update~ and I hope your family is doing well. 💜

Akira Ghost Fox

Aww yaay to hard drive part being recovered! And I'm glad hear you were doing ya best to be there for ya parents. I been there when my gram passed day went visit her when had go back to home state with mom. It can be rough and strain. But I'm really happy Still stuff was able to get mostly worked.out for ya guys. And that glad that everyone's messages were helpful too. I hope rest of the stuff goes well for ya guys still. ♡ and things are eased up some as well :3

Shae D'Amora

Ayyyy 🙌🏾🎉 Glad they were able to recover it! And glad things are a little more manageable for you and the fam. Best wishes to your mom especially. I remember you’ve said working on the channel can bring a sense of structure and normality for you, so whatever feels good to you 💜

Icecream4depression

When my mom lost her mom I was a senior in high school. I felt so incredibly sad for her and felt helpless to do anything. I know how hard that is. I’m glad you’re getting through things and supporting your family. 💗

Tech

Glad the hard drive stuff worked out! I had a similar grandfather situation a few years ago, it’s emotionally taxing even if you’re not the one who was the closest. Excited for the vids to come, but don’t worry too much if they’re later then you meant them to be, we’ll still be here!

highkeymika

so glad things are starting to level out a little and feel a little better , as much as it can at the moment. i know first hand how looking after people who are grieving can be almost just as equally exhausting , so please take all the time you need to focus on you and check in with your own emotions ! ❤️ on the happier side it's a relief the hard drive is fixed , losing work is so frustrating😭 i can't wait for the Guy video and then Darlin/Quinn , i'm so frickin excited i may actually combust

pinkSPARKL

Great to hear the the harddrive issue is no longer an issue~! Losing someone you're not particularly close to at the end can be a weird experience, and I wish you and your family all the strength to get through this tough time. Looking forward to whatever you end up posting for us~~💕💕

Lilian 726

It's really good to hear you're doing okay! Your harddrive being restored must feel wonderful. It's nice to see you take time for yourself when you need it, and you being there for your family because they need it is really sweet. I'm glad we were able to cheer you up a little during these hard times. Hopefully you'll be back to doing what you love soon!

babystarcandy

so glad things are going well for you, i'm sending more well wishes to you and your family 🫂 and please don't worry about rushing anything, take as much time as you need 🤍

Grass

I am glad that everything is much better and I think everyone here understands what it is like to lose a love one so you are never be alone in at regard

Chalchii

Still sending all the love! Glad to see you all finally get good news ^^ You deserve it for everything you do

Anthea the Tiefling

Echoing all the well wish to you and family. And doing a happy dance for the harddrive being saved 😁

maka

i can understand how you feel emotionally. i wasn’t close to my grandpa when he passed earlier this year. it was the night i had to go back to college and i just felt so upset for my mom because that was her father despite everything. it’s strange and there are a lot of complex emotions to process. finding a way to release the negative will take time. however you feel is completely okay remember that🩵

ChocolateMama

We all hope you're taking care of yourself <3

sunny ;0

wishing the best for everyone :) we appreciate you sm erik <3

☆•RedRiot•☆

Really appreciate you always keeping us posted even when you don't have to. Sending you and your family much love ❤️ always looking forward for Guy, he's my.... guy 😆❤️

Bee with a side of fries

Lost mine yrs ago and the grief comes and goes though I wasn't as close with him as my parents too, wishing you and your family the best erik :)

Wallflowerloud

From someone who recently lost her Dad, try to plan something to be extra sweet to your mom as Father’s Day approaches. The 1st and 2nd one w/out him were pretty tough. Sending love to you and your family!

Hannah Freckles

Continuing to send love and support to you and your family💜. Losing a family member can be hard, even when we ourselves aren’t the hardest ones impacted by it. Sending extra love, condolences, and comforting thoughts to your mom 💐💙

Crimson Wolf

Awww I'm glad your doing well Erik but please continue to take care of your family, I know how hard it can be I lost both my grandfather's 10 years ago. I hope your mom's doing Okay and remember to take care of yourself as well sending you and your family much love and glad to have you back Erik 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Midgardian

Im glad you are doing better now. I don't know how must be to loose a grandparent all though i lost my greatgrandparents who i met and played as a kid who love dearly. Sometimes is easy when you are not that close but it is not to those who were. i hope that your family specially your mom receives all the love of her family. Letting go is hard but we must not forget what we had and how much we loved the time we had. Stead of remembering what we lost lets focus on the good moments, we had and what we have right here right now in life, love it and give the time it must.

hazel

I'm so glad to hear your family and you are doing better (as well as can be considering this situation) Thank you for all your hard work!! the emotional support in your life we can't see and the one we do see for us here and on youtube. I cannot wait for the next videos (except i can) and i'm sending you the best of wishes!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

hazel

you put it into words! ❤️❤️

RainyDay

I'm so glad things are starting to ease up for you a bit ☺️ feelings about family we aren't close to can definitely be complicated. I lost my great-aunt last year around this time; my mother had been very close to her (her name is actually my legal middle name) but I hadn't seen her since I was a kid. She had also always been very religious but took a sharp right turn as she got older and had some pretty...questionable opinions. Parsing through my feelings about her passing and trying to be there for my mom was a complicated experience to be sure. Wishing you and your family all the peace and comfort 💚💚💚

Cherry B.

Being of service to the ones we love can bring its own sort of comfort. Thinking of you and yours.

malika.

I’m really sorry for your loss, Wallflowerloud. Sending you and your family all the well wishes in the world too 💕 Hope you’re taking care!

Liamz

Glad to hear that you're feeling better ^^ I think it's incredibly sweet that you're helping your family as best as you can, but as always, please remember to take care of yourself as well

worms

glad to hear you're doing okay! wishing your relatives well.

MissRaptor

So glad to hear things have calmed down more for you. Genuinely made me smile. I know all too well how family emotional strain can take it’s toll on the mind (and sometimes on the body). Being there like that for a parent takes a lot, and no doubt she loves the hell out of you for that support. 💕 And awesome to hear your hard drive was saved by the computer gods XD. I can remember back in the day when I’ve had the ‘ole pop-up-ads-that-cover-your-screen viruses back in the day. It’s traumatized me so much, that I’ll have flashbacks if a page loads even a sec or two too slow! I have 2 externals I use to back up, but still get afraid if I could “infect” one of THOSE accidentally! Technology is so stressful lol. Doesn’t help that my comp is from 2012 though, either…and of course I didn’t upgrade to windows 10 *because* of all that fear! Anyway, this post is nice :) Looking forward to your vids—whenever, and whatever they may be next! 💖💖

ArcherCat

Glad to hear things are settling. Even though the loss hit others hard in a different way- remember what you've said in goodness knows how many audios: pain is not a competition, and your struggles matter even if they don't seem as severe. It's taxing to be emotional support too. Keep taking care, sending hugs for your mama 🫂 Look foreword to hearing your voice again soon!

Frenchie

Thanks for taking the time to update us. Take care of you. :)

SaraJSweetheart

TW for mentions of s****l a***e. You'll probably never read this, but I also want to thank you, as your audios have tremendously helped me with my ptsd recovery. Before discovering redacted audio, the name "Gavin" only had horrible associations for me - being the name of the man who abused me. But listening to gavins audios, how important consent is for him, how gentle abd caring he can be, now that name only has positive associations for me, especially sex-positive ones. Gavins nsfw audios (especially loved the lasko one!) Helped me start enjoying sex again (when before i woukd have periods of sex repulsion). So thank you, your hard work has genuinely changed lives <3

Green Blue

I am incredibly happy that you were able to find peace. This channel also helped me. Before I found this channel, I believed that an asexual person could never enjoy romantic or sexual content and that it was wrong to think so, after listening for about 1.5 years, my view has shifted and I’m more comfortable in my sexuality than ever before :)

Ardent Melody

I'm very new to your channel Redacted but passing along my condolences to your family. I'm glad things are - as much as they can be - looking up.

Sarah Wolcott

i’m so happy for you!!! i hope your journey through this continues to be a positive one and im so glad this community has helped you. it’s such a beautiful and welcoming one, i’m so happy you found your home in it. all the best wishes ❤️❤️❤️

Glitter Goblin

is the pizza boi still happening? 🥺

Litlkim

Welcome! You’re about to embark on an amazing, and huge, world of stories 💜

Ardent Melody

Thank you! OMG yeah trying to catch up and there are SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO LISTEN TO.

Litlkim

You’re very welcome! We love new fans around here 💜Just remember, almost every storyline has at least a small link to others, some are huge overlaps. So there may be times things get confusing 😊 I’d suggest double checking the Everything playlist for the “total” order of all audios release dates (not necessarily their chronological order) if you’re not sure where something fits it. Also, don’t forget the ton of audios that are on here cause they got removed by Erik from YouTube (to be safe) Enjoy!

Ardent Melody

Thank you so much for the tips. Yeah Sam is my favorite character here so far but I went into Inversion like "Oooooookaaaaaaayyyy I've got SO much more work to do here" lmao.

Litlkim

Oh boy, you jumped in the deep end lol You’ll get it 💜I suggest waiting (unless you already listened) on Imperium & Cataclysm. You need to know canon for it to work it’s magic lol

Rach

It will. As Erik said in the post it might not go to plan but I’m sure it will be out

Ardent Melody

Stumbled into an Imperium audio haha and you weren't kidding lol. I appreciate the outreach and advice. Happy listening, new friend!

Georgia Morgan

this makes me so happy omg🥺 redacted is such a healing channel :)

CarrotSam

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out and that is alright. It happens. Thank you for keeping us updated though. No worries on the Guy vid being delayed. We get it when we get. Take your time on it.

Green Blue

I’m just glad you updated us! I don’t mind waiting as long as I know you’re okay. It might be a little weird or pathetic, but when I’m expecting an upload from a creator I care about and it doesn’t come my first thought is “I hope they are okay.”

Darlin'

That's exactly what goes through my head too

highkeymika

basically echoing what other people are saying but it bears repeating that as long as you're okay we can wait ! theres no rush , take all the time you need ! <3

theSpooder

It’s okay~ all good!!! We still love you and appreciate your efforts! Family first!! 🥰🥹

Litlkim

With the extra Quinn content and the upcoming HBS line-up, I think everyone would be fine with you putting Guy in your back pocket for a later date…saving it for an occasion where maybe you’re behind on stuff or just aren’t in a headspace to record. 💜 Thanks for letting us know.

Anthea the Tiefling

Thank you for letting us know. I am looking forward to the extra Quinn stuff Please take care of yourself and your family 😁

Sarina Boghosian

It’s fine take all the time you need Eric ❤️

Sweepy

Thanks for keeping us updated, Erik! Take your time!

RainyDay

Same, I hadn't seen the edit to this post until just now and I was getting a bit worried 😅

Lovely Deviant Alyssa

🩷 So glad to hear that things are going a bit better recently! And I'm so glad that you and your family are doing okay, amidst such a difficult loss. As much as someone can be doing okay, in a situation like this, of course 💜 As always, I'm sending lots of love, warm wishes, and good thoughts your way! And please, take all the time you need, with anything and everything. No need to worry about any delay. Truly, there's absolutely no rush or expectation, with any of this. Just do whatever you feel is best for yourself, in whatever form that may take. Thank you so much, for everything you do. It's so greatly appreciated and valued! And thank you so much for sharing these updates with us, as well. Again, it's all very much appreciated! 💖 And needless to say... I'm looking so forward to all of the amazing, fun content, currently on the horizon! 😍 Great stuff!
