Hi! This is the process, sometimes I have days where everything feels good and I can record smoothly and other days, I might feel good in terms of pain but have a bad recording day haha. I'm here to show the good and the bad because it's okay to have both ❤️

Tonight you're invited into the recording room. Tonight's video is a quiet, intimate look at the recording process as I read Chapter One of The Great God Pan (1894) by Arthur Machen while you watch the entire process unfold in real time. You'll see the script as I read, the audio recording in my studio, and even the little pauses, retakes, and moments where the story makes me smile.This is a quieter, more intimate look at how I record stories for the channel; like sitting across the desk while the page slowly becomes a whisper.Once the full story is complete, I will release a polished ASMR audio edition of The Great God Pan with immersive ambience and visuals. These recording sessions will continue to appear here as we work our way through the story together.~The Great God Pan (1894) by Arthur Machen is one of the most influential works of early cosmic and psychological horror. The tale explores forbidden knowledge, the veil between worlds, and the terrifying consequences of seeing too much of reality.Many later writers of cosmic horror, including H. P. Lovecraft, cited Machen as a major influence.If you enjoy relaxing storytelling, classic horror, and quiet creative spaces, you're very welcome here.Thank you for being here ❤️

Work will take up most of my day today but the plan is to end on a stream. Have a wonderful Monday ❤️

In this episode of The Longing, we make real progress: we finally put the mattock we got last time to work, dig out our first crystal, and begin carving the second story of our underground home in preparation for building our little Shade's bed. This playthrough focuses on calm exploration, slow discovery, and the quiet ritual of shaping the caverns one strike at a time.The Longing is a unique, real‑time adventure where patience, atmosphere, and small progress matter. If you're searching for walkthrough help, cozy commentary, or a gentle guide through the Shade's long wait, this series is for you.Tags: The Longing gameplay, The Longing walkthrough, how to get the mattock, The Longing crystal location, The Longing digging guide, cozy gameplay, atmospheric games, slow games, narrative exploration

Good morning my darling! I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday. My pain levels are way lower today, for which I am so thankful, and I'll be able to finish Simulacra so you'll have the full game all in one video#simulacra #chronicpain #scarygodmother

Today's foray was meant to be short but instead we spent 38 minutes walking back and forth on a narrow path in hopes we could get down to the mattock. And we did! Yay! Thank you for being here

A little view into our life out here on a sportsman's access lane - watching from our Wyze camera (not sponsored). We talk about all the different types of birds, the turkeys, and the raccoons. Thank you for being here ❤️

We did it! Well, hopefully! I applied for the Spotify partner program on Tome by Tome ASMR

Settle in by the fire, my darling. Tonight's story is “The Striding Place,” a haunting short tale by Gertrude Atherton, first published in 1896 in The Yellow Book, the same decadent literary magazine that helped shape the gothic and fin‑de‑siècle imagination. In this eerie little classic, a man searches for his missing friend along a lonely riverbank at night; only to discover something waiting in the dark water. It's a story built on atmosphere, silence, and a final reveal that has earned it a quiet cult following among lovers of ghostly fiction. Thank you for joining me by the fire. Let the night settle around us… ❤️ ~ This is your cozy, soft‑spoken sanctuary for comfort, calm, and quiet storytelling. Through gentle narration, atmospheric worlds, and dream‑soaked lore, I create a warm space for rest, grounding, and emotional ease. ❤️ This channel is for you, my darling. I've walked through depression myself, and I show up with stories that soothe, companion, and connect. All readings are from the public domain, and all worlds are offered gently.

Each day is either a Calm Day (I read you personal affirmations) or a Question Day (I answer silly, saucy, or personal questions), depending on how many seconds it takes me to light my candle. I'm so glad you're here ❤️~The Calm:I know today is supposed to be a calm day in the caverns, but sometimes the quiet makes your thoughts louder, doesn't it? That soft, drifting kind of anxiety; the one that doesn't have a name, just a weight. The one that asks questions you never invited in.You're not strange for feeling it.You're not failing at being calm.You're just a person with a mind that notices things.Sometimes the stillness makes you wonder what any of this is for — the waiting, the wandering, the long slow hours of being alive. And that's okay. You don't have to solve the meaning of your existence today. You don't have to earn your place in the world by having an answer.Just breathe with me for a moment.Let the walls be walls.Let the shadows be shadows.Let yourself be exactly as you are.You're allowed to feel unsettled and still be safe.You're allowed to be anxious and still be worthy of rest.You're allowed to exist without performing certainty.And if the questions come back; the big ones, the heavy ones, you can set them down here for a while. The caverns can hold them. You don't have to.I'm glad you're here.You're doing the best you can in a very strange world.And for now… that's enough. @StudioSeufz

It's March btw, and this is more snow than we got in all of 2024-2026! #suddensnow #snowinmarch #idahowinter #idahospring #sportsmansaccess

Look at all that lovely snow, just as spring is about to arrive

Hey, we're not great, but you know what we are? Here. We're here together and I'm having a blast. Plus, a surprise Sabrina! Thank you to @borodin for the gift of Limbo! And now's my time to shine as an incredibly average platformer. I simply love this story and this is the perfect game to settle in and wander the dangerous landscape.Thanks for being here with me ❤️You can friend me on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/tomebytomeasmr/Streamed on: https://www.twitch.tv/tomebytomeasmr

A fun playtest! First, this game is adorable. The cryptids, which I kept calling Pokémon, because this game is very reminiscent of Pokémon Snap, are ridiculously cute and the environment is really nicely drawn. I especially love that the 'Professor' is perhaps also a cryptid

Today's a tiny update, my darling ❤️ A soft‑spoken note about where this channel is heading. I've realized I'm not really an “ASMR” creator in the traditional sense. I'm a cozy, soft‑spoken storyteller, and this space has always been more about calm companionship, quiet worlds, and gentle narration than triggers or sound design. So we're leaning into that truth.If you enjoy cozy storytelling, soft‑spoken rambles, atmospheric gaming, dream‑soaked lore, and quiet rituals, you're already in the right place. Nothing is changing — it's simply becoming clearer.#cozy #cozystorytelling #softspoken #cozygaming #cozychannel #calmnarration #softspokenreading #cozyvibes #relaxingvideo #unintentionalasmr #slowcontent #cozyramble #lovecraftian #lovecraftasmr #cozylovecraft #cozyhorror #cozyeldritch #rainsounds #cozyambiance

This is a small, quiet ritual carved out of today's Longing episode—a place to set a little of the weight down. If you've been carrying more than you've said out loud, or if today has been uneven in ways you can't quite name, this space is for you.You're allowed to rest.You're allowed to pause.You're allowed to take up space in your own life.Let the world soften around the edges. Let yourself soften, too. You're doing well, even if it doesn't always feel like it. You're growing in ways you can't always see, and you're allowed to feel proud of yourself for making it this far.Stay as long as you need.You're safe here.You're welcome here.You're not alone in the work of becoming who you're meant to be ❤️

We're starting a new thing! Each day will now be either a Calm Day (I read you personal affirmations) or a Question Day (I answer silly, saucy, or personal questions), depending on how many seconds it takes me to light my candle. Today's episode was a Question Day, thanks to Copilot for a few weird questions. We even did a Calm Day at the end

Each day will now be either a Calm Day (I read you personal affirmations) or a Question Day (I answer silly, saucy, or personal questions), depending on how many seconds it takes me to light my candle.Today's episode was a Question Day, thanks to the random question generator 52 Prompts (not sponsored, just found them online).Mostly, this episode is just us sitting together, answering whatever comes up, and rambling through in conversation and in the depths of the cave system.If you're here to unwind, to listen to someone think out loud, or to have a gentle companion while you go about your evening, you're in the right place. Thank you for being part of this daily ritual. And if you eat something too spicy...let me know

In the deep quiet beneath the world, a small Shade waits. Today we begin a gentle ritual of checking in on him - and on ourselves. This space is slow, soft, and pressure‑free. We'll visit our little one, speak to him with kindness, explore his world at our own pace, and read the stories he keeps close in the dark. Many have cared for him over the years, but something about this gameplay resonated with me. So together, we'll keep him company. We'll watch his world change in its own time, and we'll let this become a safe place to rest, breathe, and be seen. Thank you for being here. You are not forgotten, little one ❤️

For a long time, I made a series called Daily Calm - small, quiet moments meant to help you breathe and settle. I've missed creating those, but I also needed something more flexible, but still attainable, something that wasn't set to the every day of it all.The Resting Place is my way of returning to that intention in a gentler form - just a quiet space you can step into whenever you need a moment to breathe. A place to rest, to check in with yourself, and to feel held for a little while. You can rest here ❤️Gameplay footage from Eastshade, recorded by me and used under the game's content policy.

Thank you to @EthanIf for the requestA soft‑spoken reading of Robert W. Chambers' In the Court of the Dragon, originally published in 1895 in The King in Yellow. Chambers, who studied art in Paris, brought a distinctly French, Symbolist mood to his early weird fiction, and this story's eerie organist and shadowed church remain some of his most memorable imagery. Thank you for being here with me ❤️

What a fun little uncanny experience. The family dynamic is wonderfully weird — the mom desperately trying to hide anything ghostly, poor Eli just wanting someone to believe him — and the whole atmosphere feels like a suburban haunting no one wants to talk about. As an incredibly average player with a long history of failing tutorials, I managed to score a very impressive 50% on the ghost photos. Spectral forms and apparitions completely melted together in my brain, and yes… I absolutely marked one totally normal photo as haunted. It was a moment. This video is the clipped demo section from my stream, so it's a clean first‑look at the gameplay, puzzles, and photo mechanics. I had a great time with it and I'm excited to see where the full game goes ❤️ Developer: @frostwoodinteractive

This is my quiet playthrough of the Human.exe demo — a retro, text‑based psychological horror experience that feels like a modern cousin to Zork and Majestic. You're dropped into a cold terminal interface and asked to make decisions that seem simple… until they aren't. In my run, the moral weight of each yes/no choice really hit me — especially when the subject's fate took a turn I wasn't expecting. It's short, eerie, and surprisingly emotional for a terminal‑style demo. If you enjoy cozy narration over unsettling games, you might like this one. This demo was originally played live on Twitch during a “let's try a few horror indies” stream.

Experience The Damned Thing by Ambrose Bierce; a classic American horror story first published in 1893. This eerie tale unfolds through a coroner's inquest, diary entries, and witness testimony, all circling around a terrifying creature that cannot be seen. Bierce was one of the earliest writers to explore the idea of an invisible monster, long before it became a staple of modern horror. The Damned Thing originally appeared in Town Topics in 1893 and later in Bierce's collection In the Midst of Life. Its documentary style, dry wit, and slow‑building dread make it one of his most memorable supernatural works. Settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy this unsettling classic from one of America's sharpest - and strangest - writers ❤️ https://open.spotify.com/show/1dac5HA4oPg55A06JDXUQITools used: Presonus Studio One M7, Motionleap, Movavi, and Canva Protags:the damned thing, ambrose bierce, ambrose bierce horror, classic horror story, classic horror reading, horror audiobook, creepy audiobook, invisible monster story, 19th century horror, american gothic literature, public domain horror, classic short story reading, quiet horror, cozy horror reading, atmospheric reading, soft spoken reading, bedtime horror story, classic literature audiobook, supernatural short story, eerie story reading, horror narration, vintage horror tale, weird fiction classic, unsettling short story, horror story full reading

A long, quiet, deeply unsettling journey through Year Walk, a folklore‑rooted mystery that feels part ghost story, part documentary, part “did this really happen?” Blair Witch energy. This playthrough ended up spanning almost four hours because we deep dive into and read everything - including the Journal at the end and all of its entries. I'll be thinking about this game for a long time. The folklore, the symbols, the creatures, the journal entries… everything feels like it's pointing to something older, sadder, and more human than a typical horror story. And when you reach the researcher's notes at the end, the whole narrative reframes itself in a way that's genuinely tragic, shocking, and leads you into a rabbit-hole of wonder. If you like slow, atmospheric mysteries, Scandinavian folklore, or stories that blur the line between myth and memory, I think you'll enjoy settling into this one with me.

I played the Book Smugglers demo today and discovered something important: I am absolutely terrible at smuggling. I dropped my precious contraband books all over the place, got caught on my second run, and still somehow had a wonderful time.Despite my questionable smuggler skills, the game's atmosphere completely won me over. The art is striking, the mood is rich and quiet, and the historical inspiration gives everything this grounded, human weight. It's a unique little experience — part stealth, part story, part love letter to the power of books.This playthrough is soft, cozy, and full of gentle commentary as I wander through the demo, admire the world, and try (with mixed success) to keep hold of my dang books.Developer: @FLUXOGAMESSTUDIO Thanks for sharing this quiet, bookish adventure with me.book smugglers, book smugglers demo, book smugglers gameplay, cozy narration, quiet gameplay, soft spoken gaming, cozy indie game, story rich indie, atmospheric indie game, narrative game, bookish games, historical indie game, cozy stealth game, stealth demo, relaxing gameplay, calm commentary, cozy lets play, indie game demo, unique art style, atmospheric art, cozy mystery game, gentle gameplay, slow paced gaming, relaxing narrator, soft commentary, book themed game, cozy gaming channel, quiet hangouts

A soft‑spoken reading of Elizabeth Bowen's “The Demon Lover,” a story that slips between memory, war‑time London, and the unsettling return of a promise made long ago. Mrs. Drover steps into her shuttered house for only a moment — but something is waiting for her, something that remembers her more clearly than she remembers herself. This recording leans into the story's quiet dread: the stillness of the empty street, the strange displacement of time, and the slow tightening of a past that refuses to stay buried. If you enjoy atmospheric narration, uncanny domestic spaces, and stories where the haunting is emotional as much as supernatural, you'll feel right at home. Thank you for listening and wandering into the eerie with me ❤️

A quiet, atmospheric first dive into Darkest Dungeon, where gothic despair meets turn‑based strategy… and somehow I managed to keep everyone alive.
