What is it, in summary?: A series of ASMR videos set in the same fantasy universe. The viewer character is an adventurer who travels through the land, enjoying cosy taverns and local festivals, then gets roped into a scheme to take down the land's tyrannical brainwashing ruler, Queen Deidre.
What do you love about it?: The videos are very well made, the worldbuilding is the epitome of wish fulfilment fantasy for people who love autumn, witches and the countryside. The characters are all played by the same person but they all have fun quirks and backstories, and there's a lot of interesting female characters and potential for relationships between them!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: There's a lot of relationships that I like, but I will specifically be requesting two minor characters: Adelia and Verity, Queen Deidre's twin handmaidens, who seem to be aware of the brainwashing. Either sisterly gen or femslash involving the rest of the cast.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: While most videos have callbacks to other characters and give hints to their relationships, it is 100% possible to only watch the videos for one character and write fic about them. The characters I'm requesting, Adelia and Verity, only appear in one 30 min long video and while the rest of the series could provide interesting bits of worldbuilding, ship options, and backstory, you don't have to watch anything else than their video to write about them.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): There are mentions of murder and animal death, but nothing too graphic (these are videos that are supposed to be relaxing, after all). Not a content warning, but an accessibility warning: unfortunately, like a lot of ASMR canons, there are no closed captions and the audio can sometimes be hard to understand.
