#I feel like Pali and I are GB's official Tumblr ambassadors

hi Star!! i wanted to ask how to listen to the good boy asmr. i heard about it a lot and i don't know where to start. Help please!!!

Hello!

So, I've answered this once before but I'll go ahead and reiterate what I said before here

Good Boy Audios is great and I'm glad you're coming to me for this!

I'd highly recommend starting with "The Fourseen" series. It's short (couple hours), it's completed, it has Redacted's very own Erik in it, and you don't need to know a whole lot about GBA's lore to enjoy it. Also it's getting its own direct-sequel series that seems like it's going to be awesome so The Fourseen is a great place to start.

Something to know about GB's lore is that it's mostly sci-fi—and it pretty much all takes place in the same universe (although there are occasionally rifts to alternate realities)

So, once you're done with The Fourseen, I personally loved the Space Pirates Saga—and it is also completed. It's two "seasons," so it might be a little bit more overwhelming, but honestly? The story sucks you right in and it is not a chore to listen to the whole gatdang thing. It's actually a lot of fun (for the most part it's also gender neutral listener but at the very end there's a bit of a random switch to she/her pronouns that kinda never gets explained or even mentioned but it only really matters if you're going to engage with the bonus sequel one-offs involving the main character and listener character)

Or you can go with MotH (Magic of the Heart). Season 1 just got finished and it's a blast, and I'm on the edge of my seat for S2!

If you're sensitive to Mature Themes™, I don't recommend the Bastard Warrior series (as much as I adore it and the characters in it, I recommend taking care of mental health first and foremost). If mature themes don't bother you, then yes Bastard Warrior is a fun story too. (Bearing in mind the listener character uses she/her pronouns)

Beyond those main sort of series (I haven't actually listened to the Querian Saga but I know it's on indefinite hiatus so I can't really speak to it), I don't have any specific order recommendations. Do whatever suits you. If you wanna go back to the very first video and work your way up from there, congratulations, you'll be a step ahead of me! If you wanna cherry pick random videos because the title looks interesting, you'll be doing what got me into the channel in the first place lol

So yeah, TL;DR, start with The Fourseen, then maybe pick between Space Pirates and Magic of the Heart (MotH), and then go on and explore the rest of his universe! It's a lot of fun, I promise

And when you're done, come back to Tumblr and check out @palilious @gwenifred and @itsdaifuku 's incredible fanart for his stuff. It's worth it

Yes, I am that person that will rave about my friends' fanworks at any opportunity I get and no I will not apologize for it
