I listened to this while going to sleep 10/10, feel asleep faster than the speed of light, and my dreams were basically a Stannarrator fanfic but if the author had ADHD
I love ASMR and I love TSP. I was wondering if someone had actually gone through the trouble of sifting through the "various angry Narrator noises" and scrounging together a peaceful collection of Narrator quotes, thank you
This game, albeit strange, feels like home. The continuous circles of questions, while there’s order the narrator attempts to place, the chaos we bring balances it well. There’s no telling what would happen next. At the core of the game, there’s something comforting with familiarity. Most of us played this game as a younger audience, and returning to it garners a nostalgic warmth. Like greeting an old friend. The narrator is home to me, I feel. Despite his harsh words and mild sadistic tendencies. He is a person. His voice emotes, he grieves, he questions the world around him that he doesn’t actually control. I suppose my favorite thing is the Narrator giving up control at times and simply existing with us. His joy at simple things, his condescending voice chastising us for the broom closet. The moments of pure joy, where you can hear the smile on his face. The moments you can hear him in anguish. The game exists to make you question, to make you wonder and think in my opinion. Self reflection. Even the narrator self reflects at times. There’s something peaceful about the emptiness. Just you, the narrator and the few others that rarely pop in. The silence, lack of loud background music, just you and the narrator telling a story, even if it isn’t the one that was set out in the first place. You make that story your own. You grow as a person through the winding hallways, the questions you ask, the defiance you show. The endings never being endings truly signify that the end is never. Because the end IS never. Growth is never ending, you can always learn more. The world will move on, whether you grow or not. It is your choice to work on yourself, to accept and realize your errors. For example, the narrator realizing that he is afraid of slipping back into silence, being consumed by it and losing himself. Everyone has room to grow, but you have to take action to do so. Stepping through the door is the best start..
Me too - thank you for the essay, friend! It explains…a lot of what I feel. Poor narrator, happy narrator - he has such a homey voice. Like a person who knows things, like a guide. Perhaps that’s why so many people love him - he feels like a rock amidst all the chaos of tsp. Something, someone, always fighting for order, always bringing Humor. He will always be there, except for when he isn’t, and that ending itself is now Infamous. That’s why truly, deeply hurting him is so traumatic. Because he’s always there, and we, in our infinite foolishness, decided we wanted to see what it was like without him. We didn’t like what we got, but were, for once, chained to a choice. Permanence, and *consequence.* two of the impressions the Stanley parable usually breaks down, cementing you into something you thought you wanted. You killed your only guide, abandoned him at his weakest…you deserve the desert, don’t you? You deserve to wander alone. And then it resets. Because you can’t be allowed to stop. Because the wheel can’t stop turning, and poor narrator can never, never rest. That is why they have a warning, for psychological horror.
Seriously not enough comments talking about the genuinely insightful look into the story of the game in the video description. That interpretation of the Confusion Ending (the rest not playing out after the reset forced by the Narrator) was just wonderful to read, and I also appreciate the more hopeful outlook about the ending.
@@JustSomeRandomPerson09 Pfft seeing new and insightful interpretations about one of my favorite games will _always_ be a welcome treat! Especially an interpretation that is so bright and hopeful compared to so many others I read. But really, thank _you_ for both the video and the interesting description! You've definitely got a new sub! :D
This is so nice to listen to, especially when going to sleep. I've got a fear of the dark because I always end up thinking I see something in the shadows, or imagining what could be there, or remembering something scary I watched earlier. But listening to this helps because I think of how the narrator wants to help by giving a good story (no matter how mean spirited he might seem) so I imagine that he's narrating me and that he wouldn't put a monster in the dark because that'd throw off the well written story he had in mind.
Found your channel recently and it's right up my alleyway. I adore the Stanley Parable and reading your thoughts on it in the description was fascinating. Kevan Brighting's voice is just so naturally soothing . If I were trapped in endless loops I'd at least be glad I had a narrator with such lovely dulcet tones and agreeable (so long as you're not being too much of a nuisance as Stanley) demeanour. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
i am not reaaaally one for asmr i think but i am all for excessive lengths of time of narrator dialogue so this is going into my epic list because this is cool i think
Ironically, I'm the same. I'm not into ASMR and this video doesn't do anything for me. I actually made it for a friend who wanted the narrator's story playing on loop with ambience to help them sleep. I'm really glad it has been helping people!
I'm glad I set a reminder in my phone LOL, nearly forgot. anyways, I've never slept better! the only side affects are the narrator appearing in my dreams but i wouldn't say that's a bad thing

"And then, something very peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Stanley..." *pressed 5 to skip half of the video curious of what the rest of the video would say* "He had been at his desk for nearly a hour when he realized..." *WTF??*
Useful for when the kid needs a bedtime story. I am not a good storyteller, so I let Kevan do the thing.
Wtf that's so cute
55:27 - When he starts reflecting on how beautiful freedom is, how he says the word "beautiful"... Damn, I wish I could kiss this man!
Hits my heart everytime 💗😭
you're so real for this i'm so glad you've spoken your truth
Bro ended that with romance
You're not the only one!
I love The Narrator
Pls why am I so emotionally attached to a literal disembodied voice?
BECAUSE HIS SO PERFECT. I DUNNO.
I ask myself this question everyday! And I still didn't figure it out

IM SORRY TO RUIN THE MOOD BUT I JUST REALIZED THAT THE NARRATOR FIT ALL OF THE STAGES OF GREIF I AM DYING RIGHT NOW.
Yup he does

I feel like TSP would maybe be a good TV show, or maybe something like the office? Idk, something about your comment just made me think of that lol

"various angry Narrator noises" also known as "Screaming British man with anger issues"

You said it, Stanley.
NO FUCKING WAY
oh my, does someone have a little crush?
@@internetnull I'm assuming Stanley is crushing over YOU, Narrator? :)
@@disneyfan0639 oh goodness! is he really..? well.. oh my.. i don't mind.. i always knew he did.
currently miserable trying to do uni work so here i am.

gonna listen to this every night to help me sleep - i'll update in a week on if its helped - feel free to reply to this as a reminder‼️
