2025-05-03 17:38:00 +0000 UTCAlexβs intro voice is more terrifying to me than any of the actual horror in the entire seriesβ¦but the fluff is excellent fun haha

2024-04-08 00:26:44 +0000 UTCI. Am. CRYING. Martin flapping his arms! *dead*

2022-11-26 20:34:33 +0000 UTCWow the archivist impression is really good π

2022-07-12 04:47:13 +0000 UTCThe grin in my face right now is so huge It kind of hurts (worth It though)

2022-03-02 22:53:50 +0000 UTCIβm not saying if Alex started an ASMR channel it would take over my YouTube feed but...

2021-03-16 02:13:28 +0000 UTCI have never been so flustered in my life. The intro the statement I just... I need to go back to one of the episodes that actually scare me cause I don't know how to deal with how bad I am blushing rn.

2021-02-14 07:50:34 +0000 UTCi'm not sure anything has ever made me as uncomfortable as this intro

deeeeeeeeee
2020-12-02 06:17:21 +0000 UTCOh I needed that laugh so badly. The mental image of martin the flamingo. I'm in tears from laughing so hard.
Samantha Leighann
2020-10-01 02:53:42 +0000 UTCIs it just me or Alex could pass as voice actor in random Otome Game π

2020-09-23 04:36:28 +0000 UTCShe wasn't even two yet, it was precious beyond reason
HailtotheQueenJ
2020-09-14 18:17:46 +0000 UTCThat's beautiful! I remember when I couldn't remember what a broom was, so I called it a 'stick with whiskers that cleans the floor'
Sinclair Cross
2020-09-14 18:17:17 +0000 UTCThis reminds me of the time my friend's daughter couldn't remember the sign for "penguin" so she signed "bird fish" instead. Martin is a joy.
HailtotheQueenJ
2020-09-14 15:23:46 +0000 UTCI'm sure this is what he's going for but I can't take Alex seriously in the least with that voice.

2020-09-12 13:24:28 +0000 UTCMade my day! βΊοΈπ Jon doing it on purpose to see what Martin will do is incredible. Love these so much!!
mimi
2020-09-12 09:06:25 +0000 UTCAlexβs opening monologues are going to be the death of me in the best way possible

2020-09-12 01:20:03 +0000 UTCOh, this is a delight!
Linnea Dodson
2020-09-12 01:16:55 +0000 UTCI am WHEEZING and so is my wife. Thankyou for this.
Laura Bailey
2020-09-11 23:22:54 +0000 UTCMuch appreciated. I sincerely hope most listeners will only get warm fluffy feelings from this, but I also wish there was more awareness in the world about how bullying can lead to lasting damage, including PTSD.

2020-09-11 22:09:28 +0000 UTCThis is such a treat
Megan Gregg
2020-09-11 21:16:41 +0000 UTCOh! Sell mine, too, please!
Sinclair Cross
2020-09-11 19:40:42 +0000 UTCHey folks - thank you to everyone who has sent feedback & constructive criticism with regards to today's piece. Taking that into consideration, I have added content warnings into the notes for some of themes presented.
Rusty Quill
2020-09-11 19:37:54 +0000 UTCthank u for the serotonin I love this so much
Kylie Dixon
2020-09-11 19:07:19 +0000 UTCAlex tells me he's taking care of himself asmr
Elizabeth Wynn
2020-09-11 18:06:42 +0000 UTCCould you please add a bullying or similar content warning? With this being framed as fluff, it triggered a lot of anxiety, especially since some of the things being made fun of are typical of neurodivergent people.
Bethany King
2020-09-11 18:00:45 +0000 UTCCould you include a trigger warning for something along the lines of mocking a character behind their back? A lot of folks who are either neurodivergent or anxious, or have been bullied/mocked for behavior related to such, including myself, were upset or even triggered by this content, especially considering we were expecting it to be pure fluff. No rude intentions towards the author are meant, but a heads up would be appreciated. Thank you!
Elizabeth Coretto
2020-09-11 17:40:47 +0000 UTCthis is the first fluff entry with an intro that didn't make me want to run screaming into the hills, thank you Alex. also i developed at LEAST 5 cavities from the fluffiness so you'll be hearing from my dentist
The Magnus Archives Was A Comedy
2020-09-11 17:37:18 +0000 UTCHearing Alex get a little more unhinged for each intro is truly the best part of my day when a new fluff is released. the Fluff entries are what inspired me to pledge as high as I could for Rusty Quill, and they have been one hundred percent worth it. (In addition to feeling good about supporting you guys!)
Kira S
2020-09-11 17:01:56 +0000 UTCgenuinely the intro almost made me tear up. its so soft. alexander j newell i would die for you
Seren Mist
2020-09-11 16:39:10 +0000 UTCThis is cute and I also love the implication that for some reason Jon's presence makes Martin forget the names of large exotic birds. Just watch, it'll be emu next!
Maddie
2020-09-11 16:07:44 +0000 UTCAww Martin, buddy, we've all been there, forgetting words. Don't worry. And omg of course Jon gets a kick out of Martin trying to describe birds he's forgotten the names for with gestures. (Ngl, I would too.) I love Tim telling Jon to take it easy on Martin, though. That was sweet.
romi Χ¨ΧΦΉΧΦ΄Χ
2020-09-11 16:07:10 +0000 UTCThe calming piano music sets off my fight or flight instinct ever damn time but that whole entry was priceless! Jon you absolute sod, I love you! Martin, I am so sorry, I've had that happen to me too many times to count!
MuddyHippy
2020-09-11 16:02:46 +0000 UTCJust started listening and I am Scared to have Alex being nice directly in my ears
romi Χ¨ΧΦΉΧΦ΄Χ
2020-09-11 15:59:44 +0000 UTCAs per the ASMR instructions: What a lovely, funny fluff ep. Jon can be little a bastard, as a treat
Josefien Kwakkenbos
2020-09-11 15:51:07 +0000 UTCso like 2020 abruptly got even worse for me (not an uncommon experience these days I'm sure) and I haven't had the emotional fortitude to listen to the new episodes for Act 2, but these little bits of fluff are...... really keeping me going tbh. like to the point of getting a little inappropriately emotional about it. so thanks.
SpookMouse
2020-09-11 15:36:32 +0000 UTCahahaha. "Insert attachment here" and Jon listing all the items he left made my day. Also "that's convenient" is basically a declaration of love from S1 Jon xD lolol.
ThirdFromTheLeft
2020-09-11 15:32:33 +0000 UTCJon saw a subordinate standing on one leg flapping his arms and said, "that's the one. That's the man i shall one day wed."
Abigail Espinoza
2020-09-11 15:28:19 +0000 UTCCan we have a mini series of Alex reading storybooks and singing lullabies?
Ari
2020-09-11 15:15:29 +0000 UTCI would sell my soul for an hour long ASMR of Alex's intros for these. Seratonin in sound form, apparently

2020-09-11 15:15:05 +0000 UTCLow-key ASMR intro...
Maloni
2020-09-11 15:13:33 +0000 UTCOk now that I've listened past the Alex intro.... Hilarious and mortifying! I've blanked out on common words SO many times π€£
LainyJP
2020-09-11 15:13:27 +0000 UTCwhy did the intro genuinely make me feel better after a rough morning lmao
Caligula
2020-09-11 15:09:35 +0000 UTCthe tenderness of the intros...... my brain truly doesnβt know what to do with the influx of serotonin
Ren MacKinnon
2020-09-11 15:08:57 +0000 UTCI LIVE for the soft piano music with a gently-speaking Alex
Sinclair Cross
2020-09-11 15:08:14 +0000 UTCalex. what the fuck. im so happy.
