@cherucaustic Haha yup, you are a vet now😂 i completely understand the struggle with trying to refrain yourself from rambling😭 thank you, i really appreciate it💕
2022-03-09 19:34:23 +0000 UTCWelcome welcome. A new kid on the block does that mean I get to pretend I’m a vet? 🤣 I liked reading your long comment, I try to refrain from going on too long but sometimes I can’t help it. I’ve always got something to say and I’m not good at condensing my thoughts like I used to be haha. The community is lovely and why I started commenting and being more active. Good luck on the degree that’s pretty rad!

2022-03-08 01:15:09 +0000 UTCOh man trevor cracks me up sm, like it’s unreal. I especially like his rapper series😂 Yeah i guess, im not really a confrontational type but i learn from my mistakes…i mean at least give me an interview so it can help me grow🥲 Ps: i did not apply for a job at patreon, i was talking about a company, just being safe😂
2022-03-08 00:25:56 +0000 UTCohh i know trevor! i watched his “when frat boys come home for the summer” video a few years ago and damn that was accurate for a lot of the guys at my college 🤣 wtf? that’s terrible! they should’ve at least given you the job if they were gonna use your ideas

2022-03-08 00:16:33 +0000 UTCThat’s nice! I might try them out! I used to listen to Serial Killers and some CIA/FBI stuff, but i also really like stand up comedians like Trevor Wallace! Yeah I understand, i mean i have CompSci major so i dont think it’s really hard to at least make your app responsive and maybe add a bunch of features like this! Of course idk how many devs Patreon has and from my experience i would stay away from giving small companies (like if your app has many usability& compatibility bugs i translate it to that) ideas on how to further make their app better, cause not only i did not get the job but they stole my idea as well 😭
2022-03-07 23:46:39 +0000 UTCi like true crime podcasts (crimejunkie is my fav) but if i need something more light-hearted i really like the happiness lab with dr. laurie santos where she discusses psychology tips on how to live a happier life, and i’ve recently started listening to violating community guidelines with sarah schauer and britney broski where they discuss various internet trends, they’re so funny together! oof yeah i tried listening to one and could only last a minute or so, that sound is not for me 😭 and i’m just sitting there worried it’s gonna ruin the mic instead of relaxing lol of course! yeah there’s definitely some bugs with the app and the website isn’t much better tbh 😂 i really wish you could tag users and reply to posts with images/gifs! but that’s wishful thinking 🥲

2022-03-07 23:33:35 +0000 UTCCarelessWhisper hi!!!… do you by ANY chance like Wham/George Michael as well? 👀 aww thank you🥰 it’s from my fav anime and describes me perfectly!😂 i love yours as well😍 Thank you for the encouragement, I really appreciate it❤️
2022-03-07 23:12:03 +0000 UTCNice! What kind of podcasts do you listen to? I like them as well, but I have so many hobbies that I don’t have time for all of them😭 yesssss, especially when they put what seems like a shaving foam on the microphone and massage it!? Not for me💀 Ah yes, i gave it a taste drive and it does have many bugs which I will report when I have the time, but I thought maybe it was my device acting up. Thank you for the tip! 🥰
2022-03-07 23:06:20 +0000 UTCHi Lust! 🌺 Welcome! First off I love your name! Crunchy was my first Patreon experience too 😆! Crunchy rambles are some of my favorite. I really like what you said about the emotional connection. Crunchy has been very generous with his persona and sharing little details and insights and I absolutely agree that it makes the audio experience much more intensely enjoyable. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and good for you for taking the steps to care for yourself! ❤
2022-03-07 23:02:52 +0000 UTCah that sounds super fun and cute, i love it! i love rambles of any kind and am an avid podcast listener so i definitely understand you, and i think it’s a good approach to make content that you would personally like to listen to as well ☺️ sorry to hear about Quinn :( negative feedback can be really discouraging, but i’m glad your bff gave you the idea to try it out, i think those close to us are able to see our potential better than we can ourselves. i enjoy listening to ASMR but i’m super picky with what i listen to (like whispers? great. mukbangs/chewing sounds? not so much, lol) i think it’s a great idea to post to reddit if you feel comfortable to do so! yeaaa the patreon app is kinda funky, if you wanna reply to someone else’s reply you have to click on your original comment and click the reply button 😅 it’s very weird that they only have the reply option for the original comment on the app. i find the website much easier to use for replying to comments, but the app is better for editing comments.

2022-03-07 22:55:09 +0000 UTCHi! I really appreciate your response! ❤️ I’m currently working on something, more like a personal project, some kind of cozy gameplay ramble where I talk about different topics!? I have been making videos for the past 10 days, but I’ve been super busy and haven’t had the time to edit. In the past I’ve experimented a lot with what sort of content I can upload on YouTube and none of what people mostly do is for me, I just like talking, in the literal sense of the word😂 To be honest ever since I got a negative reply from Quinn I felt really down. Cause my bff gave me the idea to make some ASMR content cause they love my voice, so I guess I got hyped up. I don’t even know if I like my voice that much😂 I’m not really into ASMR stuff… I don’t really like them. But a mix between rambles/SFW/ASMR is not that bad, by ASMR I mean just whispering, I guess that kinda does it to people these days😅 My bff said they were feeling very relaxed and happy when I sent them that whispering audio, maybe I can upload it on Reddit to see what people think to get more opinions. 🧐 PS: I could not reply to you in the app so I had to use the desktop version...do you have this problem as well or do I just not know how to reply on my phone? 😭
2022-03-07 22:33:52 +0000 UTCwelcome! ☺️ just wanted to say that i’m glad you commented. i know it can be intimidating as a new person cause i’ve been there but everyone here is super friendly, so i hope you and anyone else who wants to feels comfortable to comment! the community here is part of the appeal for me personally wishing you the best of luck on pursuing your master’s degree and creating audio content! are you currently making audios or is it something you plan to do? i would love to support more audio creators 🤍 also, i totally get you on wanting to know a bit about the person behind the voice to really enjoy the content. it’s much easier for me to get into the fantasy when i have some understanding about the person behind the voice. boundaries are important, but i agree that it’s nice to learn a little bit about their hobbies and interests :)

2022-03-07 22:12:08 +0000 UTCHello there… everyone! I can see most are vets here and I’m the rookie😅 I’m going to start by saying that I found out about you like a few days ago on GWA and I literally joined today, my first ever experience with Patreon, so kudos to you!😁 But more on that later. I clearly don’t know what you’re going through, but if it helps I’ve had a similar experience a bunch of times. Sometimes it lasts 2 weeks, 1 month or even more. Of course I don’t know the extent of your state, but in my case it just sort of happens, impulsively. I feel like when I start to get my mental health back on track everything just becomes easier. Like this week I cleaned the apartment, started eating healthier, working out, working, etc. Of course it doesn’t help my case that I’m pursuing a Master’s degree with some rigorous deadlines and that my family is so demanding of me, so while I’m, some may say procrastinating, recovering I’m also stressing the fuck out at the same time so it becomes even harder for me to get better. The sleep though!? Really fucked up. Don’t want to get into that, but I hope you can relate to some extent 💕 I decided to listen to this audio while making coffee. It was a very pleasant experience, like talking to a friend!☺️ Wait… am I hearing correctly?! Nice weather in Denmark!? You have to be kidding me😠 Two weeks ago it was raining cats and dogs there😠 But I’m visiting really soon so if the weather is as bad as then, I’m personally blaming you 😂 Well even though I live in Sweden I’ve always loved Denmark for some reason… maybe the reason being the Vikings cast 👀 Oh and PSA I might have an idea what platform you are referring to cause I applied as well, it has to be Quinn. Yeah well it didn’t work out for me🥲 I was really interested in how some creators make NSFW sfx so your tutorial was very helpful! But I’m not looking into getting into that sort of thing anytime soon, cause I’m really busy, so I’ll just stick to SFW stuff😅 The reason I came on here was because I wanted to know more about you. Okay I know that sounds cliché and whatnot, but some creators don’t really give much insight into their personal life, interests, hobbies, etc. But like that’s very important to me cause I am a sucker for Friends to Lovers and Domestic kind of scenarios. I just can’t seem to enjoy myself in sex in real life or even with audios if I do not have some sort of connection, mostly emotional, with that person. So yeah I guess I’m kind of picky in that department and the voice needs to be nice to the ears as well. To me it’s very important to personalise the audio in a sense, so it feels realistic and more humane. Okay that was sappy, but I am who I am. And I really like the community here! Everyone seems to be loving and understanding 💕 Oh yeah I also came on here to steal your coffee making techniques and maybe visit some cool places I haven’t uncovered in CPH yet (I’m pretty sure I’ve visited that neighbourhood you posted).😂 But uh I’m gonna watch your coffee making skills later cause I’m swamped with work😭 Oh right, I saw you were dev a site! Nice! Although that post was like a year ago😂 No worries!😊 I’m wondering what kind of framework you used. And I’m making a safe bet by saying you worked on it with CSS& JS. Ah and Elden Ring sounds nice, my friends have it, but I haven’t had the chance to play it yet, I just watch my friend live streaming it. 😩 I’m gonna finish this by saying I don’t comment much, cause if I do I’m never gonna stop typing, but I can see you have some lovely fans who will always have your back no matter what happens❤️ Lots of love from Stockholm🥰
2022-03-07 21:16:37 +0000 UTCThis is so very exciting, many congratulations to you, sir; hoping for all the best to you and your future endeavours. I hope you're having a ball with Elden Ring - I have already finished it but I get so amped to see others test their sanity whilst giving it a go (I have no doubt you've probably reached quite far into the narrative). I'm really glad to see you doing better and taking care of yourself. Many have said it numerous times, but hearing your voice is such a good break IRL. Also, much love and many safe returns to those affected by the war at the moment; I pray you are good, safe, healthy, and hoping it may come to an end soon. Crunchy, many hugs, many safe retuns, much love. I'm so so proud of you and your progress. 💙💙
2022-03-07 17:22:11 +0000 UTCYou mentioned YouTube art with your character cuddling Albert. 💜 May I just say that the amount I have missed a stuffed goose has been... surprising. 😂🙈 Give him my love, lol.
2022-03-07 17:06:57 +0000 UTCCrunchy, I came back to say how thoughtful it is of you to try to work something out with those affected by the credit card situation. Also how thoughtful of you it is to allow us to have access to exclusive content before it goes to the other hosting platform! Like Kaya said you truly are worth the wait. 🥰
2022-03-07 15:53:32 +0000 UTCOne of the first things I thought of this morning was how I was hoping to see a new voice post of any kind from you, regardless of what it was, and here you are 🥰 (thanks phone for not sending me a notification last night 🤦🏼♀️). I'm glad you're taking the time you need to feel more comfortable with making content. One of the things I love most about your content is how genuine it feels so I am happy to patiently wait until you feel you can be present in it, and not force it. I truly think you are worth the wait. I'm happy to take part in my first monthly content vote as a patron and am looking forward to any and all of the things you have coming up for yourself and us in the future. Sending you lots of warm digital hugs right back 🤗

2022-03-07 14:24:17 +0000 UTC"... more than anything just miss hearing from you not even in a nsfw kind of way but in a “I wonder what Crunchy is up to” kind of way that we get in your rambles, lenses and streams." Absolutely agree with this. It's always good when you check in, Crunch, just to hear that you're safe or share what's on your mind at the moment. No rush on formal content until you're ready. We're here because we support you as a person, not a content making machine.
2022-03-07 11:00:53 +0000 UTCI was very happy to hear your voice, Crunchy, even if you do sound sad 😥, but then again, it's really hard to be happy in Europe right now. I am excited for your deal with an audio hosting company and I also agree with not forcing yourself to record if you are not feeling up to it. Just take your time and go at your own pace, we’ll be here to support you 😊 Glad to hear your offline life is getting more stable and I definitely feel you on the office clean-up. For me, my kitchen is always a mess, while the rest of my apartment is fairly clean. Hope to hear more from you soon, Hugs 🤗
2022-03-07 08:43:55 +0000 UTCAhh i already have an idea who that company could be hehe. I saw another Va work with them too. It would def be really cool for you! Its been really nice weather here too! Idk if thats a german ppl thing but as soon as the sun first comes out ppl are chilling outside acting like its summer even tho its still under 10 degrees lmao

2022-03-07 06:15:35 +0000 UTCSo happy to hear from you and excited for the new opportunities you’ll be exploring. You have to put yourself first and I agree with the others here that if your heart wasn’t in the content you made it wouldn’t be as special and I think a lot of us wouldn’t love it as much because it feels so genuine and open it’s what sets you apart from other VAs. I can only speak for myself when I say that I’m willing to wait however long it takes, more than anything just miss hearing from you not even in a nsfw kind of way but in a “I wonder what Crunchy is up to” kind of way that we get in your rambles, lenses and streams. My partner is currently sinking all of his spare time into elden ring so it’s definitely something to pull your focus when you need to distract yourself lol. I’ve gotten myself obsessed with cross stitching the past few weeks as a way to calm my anxiety and worries about the state of things. As always my thoughts are with everyone impacted by this war and I hope they’re staying safe. I hope you all are 💗
