[Ramble] Soft ramble, ready for April

i really enjoyed your content in March, Crunch. i've been feeling extra soft lately myself, so all the rambly rambles, cute sfws and the lovely domestic, intimate nsfw audios were right up my alley. 😊 i second what others have said about the "hang out with me" type of content. personally i liked putting on your chess streams while i worked, so i think something long-form as you mentioned could replace that 🙂 a spanish or danish ramble could also work as something lowkey to have in the background or as a sleep aid like you said have a good month everyone 💚 also it's snowing in my country too, what the heck

@Careless I think that (right or wrong) a lot of women tune out men’s compliments because we think they’re trying to sweet talk us with ulterior motives, whereas women’s compliments seem genuine. Women’s compliments are often followed up with questions showing interest like “where did you get that [thing]?” or “what product do you use?” and continue a conversation, versus an awkward “uh, thanks”

Now this suggestion tho 👀 Party on, dudes!

A Danish or Spanish ramble is certain to bring the chaos. I think many women, and by many I really mean me, become desensitized to men's compliments on physical appearance. Now if they compliment my intelligence or basically anything else then yes please. Women can compliment me on anything and I get the heart flutters 😍

Excellent 🎸

So I'm ruining it with my own comment but the fact that there were 69 comments here reminded me. 😂 Crunch, if you ever decided to do another movie watch-a-long like The Princess Bride for a longer hang out with me thing, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure would be a great choice. It is adorably silly and Keanu is a cutie pie. Just throwing that one in the suggestion box. 😊

We're having a thunderstorm here. This weather is wild

Also it was snowing here too like whats up with that. In germany we say ✨der April macht, was er will✨ And I dont even live in the north lmao

Dubose, we totally don't need to understand it to enjoy it, right? 😂 Maybe one day we can learn, but I am very happy just listening in~

Bek, I really enjoy the chess content, too. 😊 Even though I don't understand it (yet?), it's very relaxing to listen to.

Careless, yes to all of this. Mary, lol, the comments on a Danish/Spanish ramble. Can you IMAGINE? Yep. Totally wild. 😂

Careless, I feel the same as you, interacting with other listeners is the best thing ever and I am so happy Crunchy's rambles give us so much things to talk about. I giggle when I think how this comment section would look like if he posts rambles in Spanish or Danish. I think we would go wild with our predictions of what he was talking about hehe. Also, I do not have very long hair, it’s more medium-length, but getting compliments from other women for it is so niceee 🥰

Hi Crunchy 😊! Hi ❤ Chat ❤! I hope you always make the rambles you truly want to make. That's part of the fun in listening. If you overthink it it'll become a burden to do and they just won't feel the same. One of the things I like most about your rambles is that you provide a safe space for us as listeners to connect with each other, be seen, and feel heard. I mean don't get me wrong knowing you read the comments is nice but getting that feedback and validation from other listeners is *chef's fucking kiss*. I think as a whole we are not hard to please, it's the act of you "hanging out" with us that is most enjoyable. And whether you do that in Danish, Spanish, playing chess, or clickity clacking it will all have the same effect. Long hair IS annoying. There are so many cons, like it will be everywhere and in everything. I have convinced my husband that all my hair that he finds in his beard and on his clothes is a form of witchcraft 👀. The biggest pro for me having long hair is basking in the glow of women's compliments. The vulnerability and sincerity you put in your audios is what makes them so special. It invites the listener to do the same. And when the listener can get it that space, it doesn't matter if its just fantasy because the feelings of safety and care that can be felt is real. Who knew porn could feel so poetic? I'm looking forward to all that is to come (give us the goose, please) Hope everyone reading this is having a manageable timezone. ❤

I think that whatever content you want to put out, we will enjoy~ The rambles are great and lens updates are always nice to get a little snippet of your day or just as a little hello 😊 I love the rambles when they are organic and not about a specific chosen topic, and they definitely do not have to be put together... you could ramble about anything honestly. Danish & Spanish rambles would be so welcome even if I don't understand what you're saying 😂 I would be so down for those longer ~hang out with me~ type audios, they would be great to replicate what streaming was like, and we wouldn't have to worry about missing a stream. (I revisit the audio you made where you were playing chess games, just to have in the background while I do my own thing) It's great to hear you are feeling good about creating content & that you're in a better place mentally. I really do appreciate that we are able to get such intimate audios from you Crunch, and I would never want you to feel pressure to make them. Ultimately, the content you feel happy with and enjoy making is the best content we could receive 💕

Health issues suck, I’m sorry you have to endure it. Here’s to a better tomorrow, Kaya 💗

Sending you healing thoughts. 💜

Hi Kaya, I'm sorry you also had a rough day - I hope it's better for both of us tomorrow. I've got a few hours before I get to end my day, but I suspect I'll be with you in listening to some of Crunchy's old audios to help me sleep tonight. The ASMR Twitch stream is still my all time favorite "nothing else is working" trick. 💜

Skye

Sorry to hear about your health issues, Kaya. I hope you feel better soon 🤗

As usual missed the notification. Like Skye I have not had a good day today. I'm dealing with some health issues. I can't wait to be in a better space to read over all of the lovely comments and to listen to the ramble. For the moment I will be curling up in fetal position and trying my best to sleep thru, listening to past comforting Crunch audios. Hoping everyone else has as good a timezone as possible. Also - Happy Birthday Crunchy 🥳🎂 or in Polish - informally "Sto lat" (meaning 100 years) or more formally would be "Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin" which translates to "All the best on your birthday"

PS Someone just haaaaad to recently mention the car crunch time (that wouldn't play on some iphones?) and jinx me listening to this on anything but my computer. Surely I can't be the only one who struggled today.

Ange

Ah yes, the *in between* stage with growing hair out. Our sprouts were pretty in sync for a while, but you held out for months longer than me - I went back to short hair a while ago. I just can't be arsed to grow it out, just to pull it back all the time and eventually cut it off. I'm not going to lie, I miss streams, the interaction and cosy chat vibes. But this is good too, here. I absolutely wouldn't want streams to happen if you aren't in a good place for them mentally - that's not safe, or fun for anyone. In the meantime (maybe forever?) I'll try to have those interactions here, even if Careless Whisper and Skye have taken over my daily "Happy Birthday Crunchy" duties. It does make me giggle that some people have taken to calling the Patreon comment section "chat", whether that's a conscious choice or not. I'm looking forward to spring, and sun, and lens posts, and everything this year has yet to bring.

Not gonna lie, I also recently realized why Tuxedo Mask is called that way. It's harder with the Romanian name because tuxedo is not a common use word here, we just say suit for everything.

I guess I need sleep, too, because I have the silly/tired giggles and can't stop laughing at your comment, Vitalya. Tuxedo Mask, indeed. 😂

Uuu, a behind the scenes ramble does sound nice, Cosmic. I love that idea ❤

Another vote for lens pics as hellos 👋

glad that you’re getting back in the groove of recording audios and feeling good about them! the past few audios, both sfw and nsfw, have felt so sweet and intimate and i’ve really enjoyed them. you discussed this in another ramble and i think it’s very true how your mood can affect your content. potential ramble topic idea: i would be really interested to hear about the recording process for you, how it’s changed over the years, how you plan out ideas and how much is improv, maybe talking about a specific audio you’ve done in the past and how you came up with the idea and what the recording process was like (honestly i’m dying to know the behind the scenes for “what are you doing out in the rain? let me warm you up”) i know this might break immersion for some people but i am really curious about this process if you’re comfortable sharing it! take care Crunchy and everyone here ✨ here’s to hoping for a good, gentle rest of the year

welp i downloaded the file and was able to listen, and was pleasantly surprised that it was 11 minutes instead of 3 which is what it’s showing on patreon for me right now 🙃 anyway… honestly i enjoy rambles of any kind. the casual ones are nice, like talking to a friend on the phone, but i also like the ones with specific topics too! there’s a ramble you did several months ago called “philosophy coffee” that i really enjoyed, and i think you got those questions from a book, maybe it could be a series type of thing with other questions from that book if you’re into that. really made me think… but yeah i think it’s good to ramble about whatever you’re in the mood to talk about. if you do a danish ramble i will understand nothing lmao but could be a good sleep aid, spanish i might get some of it if i put it on half speed, might also be a good way to test my comprehension skills! about the streams, i wasn’t able to see them live much because they were often at the same time as my classes, but i think we’ve been able to replicate that community feeling here to a certain extent with the rambles, and i actually think interacting like this makes it easier to have actual conversations with people because one thing about twitch is that the chat moves so fast and i had a hard time keeping up so it was easier for me to just lurk. but that’s just my experience with it, and i’m supportive of whatever you feel comfortable doing.

cosmicdreams

Agreed. Lens posts feel like a little wave hello.

I JUST REALIZED RIGHT NOW WHY TUXEDO MASK IS TUXEDO MASK HE'S FUCKING IN A TUXEDO. It took me 26 years to fucking figure it out 👍 ... ..... ..... I need to sleep, I guess 🙃

The battle I went through to listen to this nearly drove me mad. Patreon get your shit together please! 😩 I would truly listen to you talk about anything and I think a lot of the people here feel the same. But it’s about what you’re comfortable doing. I’d be one of the many lost if you did a ramble in Danish or Spanish but hey I’m all for it and maybe I’ll actually learn something. Considering why you started growing your hair out I totally get why the transition phase is annoying. Long hair can be a lot of work, though I’ve never had short hair to make the comparison. I cut off 10 inches of my hair in the summer but I still had many many more inches left to work with. I normally just throw it up into a bun. Which does beg me to ask that we pretty please get to see a man bun before you cut it if that’s what you decide to do? Haha. Streams are dearly missed but I think that you’ve been able to create something similar in rambles, we have a dialogue in the comments that I’ve really been enjoying and it’s a lot easier to follow what everyone is saying this way. The only difference is that we don’t get reactions in real time to/from you, Crunchy. But that’s okay and I look forward to how your rambles, this place, all of it evolve in the coming year. Sweater gremlin you say? Sounds pretty cute to be honest. I can only speak for me when I say that I like lens posts not only for fit checks per se but because it’s just an easy way to show us your day? To check in and say hi? If that makes sense. I’m so glad that you’re out there living life and enjoying it. Mental health is hard but being able to check in with yourself and the people dear to you make it easier to navigate. And navigating it is all any of us can do. Hope everyone has a good one 💗

Comrade Crunchy, respect your audience. People want Albert. Dressed, please note 🧐

A goose shirt on the goose would be impeccable.

Skye

*softly chanting* Albert!Albert!Albert! I still love the art Ash drew. Tiny goose in tiny goose shirt. @Vitalya Dignified? But yes tiny top hats pls

Acedia

Tuxedo. Defined 🧐

@V, that sounds lovely and maybe Crunchy can also get him some outfits?? I would die to see Albert in a sweater or perhaps a *goose shirt* ?

No "glimpse of Albert". I demand a full photo shoot of this guy!

Hello Crunchy, so nice to hear from you again so soon and at a reasonable hour for me yay! I’m happy to hear that you are finding your groove again with audios and that you have the motivation to sit down and record stuff 😊 Ahhh, I don’t want you to cut your hair *sigh*, but I do understand the struggle of keeping up with it. I barely care how mine looks, but it’s wavy so it’s kinda a mood even if I don’t do anything to it. If you cut it, may we pretty please get a patreon lens with it down so we can celebrate it one last time? I do want rambles in Spanish and Danish! I understand Spanish to a certain degree, but as you said, even if we don’t understand what you are saying, it could work as asmr or sleep aid. I miss streams a lot, but I’ve also recently felt that your rambles and especially the nice conversations we had in the comments brought us the same comforting and happy feelings that streams did. Definitely agree with the fact that we are creating a very nice community here on patreon. Yay to more lens posts! But you don’t need to always get dressed nicely for those, even a photo of your cup of coffee or a glimpse of Albert would be awesome. Ah, it’s so nice to hear that you are doing well mentally and that you feel loved. Super excited for the future content and talks. Your content and this community have really been a blessing to me personally, amid the chaos and negativity of the reality we live in. Hope everyone is having a nice timezone!
