Massive thank to / @noxblood97 for voicing Perg!
----------------------------------------------------
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellworlder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.

FYI, the baseline volume is kinda low...
Without headphones (with a volume control), listening to the video is problematic.
Yeah. Swapped over to new editing software, missed the audio issue. Sound is a little low for the first four mins. Sorry about that
The audio is not perfect but it was not bad without headphones. The volume level and voices were pretty even.
Maybe because of my speakers or perception.
You could record this through a soup can and I’d be happy to listen. Perg & Rusty are instantly charming and your interpretations of them are good.
not for me
"we must reach consensus" 🦀 🦞
Humanity invented artillery before the printing press. We'll be fine.

Why write a letter when this bomb works just fine, right? :D

Mennix for some reason: Yeah so we're banning humans from the system because they're a safety risk
...What???
Kinda reminds me of the first fallout game, after you bring back a water chip.
Imagine you see a gorilla tear a crashed school buss in half the save the children inside.
Would you want other gorillas in schools after that?
I’m absolutely loving the stories of Oxidize, err, Rusty. The narration is awesome and the stories are great, too. I hope the author is seeing the praise.

Fr way too many AI narrations
Was worried this one would be too @@conjurorofcheaptricks8944
Seriously, we need more (adorable) alien otters in media! & I just love Perg's voice.
Happy spoiler alert: there is more Perg literature.
Space otters my one weakness❤ It’s not fair, I can’t burn down a planet if there’s something cute and fuzzy on it!
@@leiaclark8388 ГДЕ? КУДА СМОТРЕТЬ ЧТОБЫ ЕЩЕ ПРОЧЕСТЬ?
Fun Fact: the main purpose of 'eyebrows' is to divert water away from the eye sockets (actual results may vary, however), which could interfere with vision.
An evolutionary survival trait / feature...
That is a function but the more important function is that they help to convey emotions, eyebrows, our plump lips, and our white sclera all have social importance as they make it easier to distinguish faces and our sclera being white also makes it easier to tell where others are looking. Humans are also one of the only species to have chins that protrude outward which may also have a social function as many people find others who have small chins unattractive.
Humans have a surprising number of characteristics that are ornamental in nature, we just dont realize it as they are normal for us.
@@Exquailibur Thankfully a whole lot less than other primates, who got things like a fully inflatable ass.
Too bad it does a piss poor job with sweat lol
I wonder why unibrows are not a common thing because of this haha
@@Exquailibur All tetrapods have white sclera. Other animals just have a high iris area to eye ratio. If it's colored, it's iris.
@@gljames24 well not all since there are some where its got melanin, but yeah most species don't have an exposed sclera or if it is its darkened with melanin
Either way its a relatively rare characteristic to have an exposed white sclera and it helps us see where others are looking. its a social adaptation.
Finally, someone who at least says the author's name.
funny you say that. Gaffed up and accidently cut it out the intro on my latest upload. Sorry misterben4360 lol
WOOT! A story that has correct dialog AND multiple voices and ambient sounds!! Keep up the good work!
I'm a fan of your ability to convey when someone is high in such a convincing fashion.
So, having listened to the previous stories, Vo'Ohn definitely did not consider Rusty's opinion of involving the humans in their conflict. Another Superb Narration of a well written story. Thank you.
O what was the names of the previous stories of this same universe?
@@loganshaw4527 Sorry for the late reply, I believe it is in "The one that you feed", with its companion story ""All the rumors are true". Another one is ""The only thing more terrifying than a human is its pet"
Vo’ohn wasn’t the only one. He was basically one vote in a large Quorum.
I can already tell there is ACTUAL EFFORT put into this video.
the image appears drawn, not AI generated, there's an actual human voice over, and sound affects have been added, as well as different voices for different characters, making it an audio drama, rather than a book reading.
Has this writer made more stories in this setting? I'm actually fully invested in these videos...
GeneralLeia is an amazing author, and your narration + effects is, as always, perfect. I just love your voicing of Rusty and Perg.
I’m pleased as punch by this and the picture of Perg is perfect! Your voice reading is so much superior to AI. And the way you change moods with your voice really expresses the story exactly as I intended. Thank you!
I’m really becoming a fan of your work.
wait perg is a space otter. That explains the picture.
He do be
@@BirbletonVAyes
It was in the description of Perg near the beginning
@@zerospace101 That is why i posted that this is the second story with rusty and perg in i had listened to lol.
@@lupaswolfshead9971 I did not see that post so....ok lol
Rusty & Perg are a fun pair. BTW, who was watching over Peanutbutter while Rusty was laid up?
Peanut butter was still at the market! This is set before the previous video (confusing i know) haha
Thank you for not using Ai
The only ai narrator I can tolerate is Adastra cus he uses his own voice then alter it with ai for different characters.
Try Nature's Temper. Best story narrator on the web.
Finally quality HFY, a real human not just AI slop. Ijust wonder where the art came from
These folks will be around for quite a long time, I am hoping. Wonderful characters with great interaction. And the telling! Flawless.
Just the first thing I have to say - this is the best thumbnail so far!
Thank you! I think so to haha
Agreed
Is the thumbnail ai?
I had wondered why no one was doing these things with voice effects. It adds a lot. Good job
I’m surprised more channels don’t tbf. It’s only a little extra work. Thank you!
I Love this story, the jokes were awesome. I even had to pause a few times/rewind bc of my laughter
I just noticed the background noise that is suitable to the current situation
Human! Narration! Fuck! yea!
Hi, Nice work! Please set up playlists for series and links from episodes to the playlist so it is easy to listen to the whole story, if you like it. Keep up the good work!
Humans when a galactic war starts: Mumm Lunch
Alien species: Oh, frick why are they looking at us like that
Humans with a devilish grin on their face: Because were bored and y'all have volunteered to be our punching bag
The American way
And since you're not human you're on the menu.
I can almost hear natures temper, any one else?
Heard that a couple of times haha
Made that same comment myself. He sounds so like Skott.
poor Rusty. no good deed goes unpunished.
To be fair he was very manly and very much a insurance risk. But he did lower other claims tanking all that damage him self.
HIS NAME IS RUSTY GOD DAMMIT (jk)
I love it and find the running gag that no one gets his name right funny
I love the fact that they get it wrong due to the translation of the process of iron developing rust too. It’s really damn clever
I am but a simple fellow. I see cute space otters, I click.
Finally, someone who dosn't use ai to short read stories.
Honestly it's so sad. AI is a great tool, but it shouldn't be used to churn out lazy content. Started having to put "Human narrator" in my titles because of all the lazy content farms.
@@BirbletonVAthe worst part is that I'm seeing a lot of newly spawned channels using "shocking" ai thumbnails and bad AI narrator and getting more views than channels that have already narrated THESE SAME HFY STORIES FIVE YEARS AGO. I haven't listened to hfy stories for couple years and tried to return to a couple long ones that I haven't finished. Found this entire AI mess instead.
Happened to me to a video about the 7 hour war of Half Life. I could understand the AI voice, but soon it was clear the script was AI generated as well (lots of made up stuff and discrepancies between things said earlier). It was proof the one who posted it did not even check what the AI wrote.
That and just the utter AI spam youtube is obsessed to put on my feed, I now immediately click on "hide this video" the moment I see it was made with AI.
The name "manj" for a spider is brilliant.
I love playing with mouth forms and sounds. And "manj" is a clear series of sounds being able to be made without lips. Spiders dont have lips.
"No matter how weird the universe got, it could always get weirder."
One thing I find iffy about the story is an adrenaline rush being a foreign concept to aliens. Maybe some species don’t have it if they were either so superior they had no reason for it or evolved in such a safe and ideal environment they were basically Dodo birds. At least the spider waifu’s are impressed.
A video where they are not using some trash AI to make weird images
THANK YOU! Especially for doing it right by being a human! Excellent sound effects. Very very happy!
16:45 - For future note, there is in fact no X in especially
25:28 - Never heard foot with an A in it, heard it first as fart
It can always get weirder! LOL Cats right out of the 60s!!
Pit hair grab got me
😂😂😂😂
Man how are you not famous yet? I loved the narration and how you voiced the characters!
This is the second of your stories I have stumbled across, your voice is perfect for this.
Idk why your upload schedule suddenly got so busy but im bnot complaining. Its great and i love your narrations and edits
Got a lot more time on my hands. Going to be sticking to a daily upload for awhile. Thanks for sticking by :D
@@BirbletonVA I hope you're channel gets more views. The narration is so good
18:57 - Byrocracy never changes, go find an expert opinion, disregard it and do it anyways
Well read, small side notes:
16:45 - There is no X in especially
25:28 - Never heard foot with an A in it, heard it first as fart
Whoops, maybe a little much of my accent seeped in. Thanks for the pointer. Will keep it in mind :)
@@BirbletonVA I mean if anyone ever thinks you're a machine those'll stand as nice proof that indeed, you are human
The voice actor of the main character of Overlord and the narrator for the Overlord audiobooks said exspecially for over 10 books until someone pointed it out to him =P
I have said it once and will say it again, I love the South African Accent for HFY stories. Lekker man!
Finally some proper voice acting, with editing! One thing though; I think it would be easier to follow the story if you showed larger paragraphs of text instead of just parts of a sentence at a time on-screen. A lot of people find it easier to read along as they listen ^^
Your voice is soooooooooo nice to listen read these HFY stories, I might have to sub if more of your readings don't naturally pop up on my fyp!
Thank you so much!
HFY?
@@lavetissene339 HFY, also known as, Humans, Funk Yeah. This is not hyperbole. I could be slightly inaccurate, but that's basically what it translates to. :\
@@sabrielelliott2427 lmao
Very close to sounding like Nature's Temper and he is the best.
otter :D
ok the voice changes are on point!
Great Story, Great rendition of the story and Great setting which I would like to hear more stories from what more could I ask for
Okay, I have listened to two of these and deeply hope it is an on going series. I want more and so a SUB is required. Also the narration is really good and I hope you keep it up.
The other is so adorable
guess its time to add another to the netnarrator /asn / starbound roster
Whoah! Awesome narration! Love it! Subscribed.
That Was Geat Bro, I Cant Stop Smileing
Another "Oxidize" universe story. Cool.
This particular episode appears to have occurred before the 'kitten episode. My suggestion is that a little research might in order.
Presenting the chapters in the order the author released them would help in maintaining a better 'story flow'.
Just my two cents...
I agree. I read them in the order that they were posted. I'll check for future ones for the correct order. It seems that General Leia might have had some stories taken down, so it could be a repost? I'll reach out
@@BirbletonVAon their newest story, they confirmed in the comments that “these are not written nor published in chronological order”
Sorry for the confusion. I don’t write or publish the stories in chronological order. I get an idea, the story comes, details fill in, and it seems to figure out where it goes in the timeline.
I actually got a set of notecards so I can jot things down to hopefully keep the timeline straight.
After doing this, I understand why The Martian Chronicles wasn’t linear.
@@leiaclark8388 Thanks for clarification. Like i said before, I noticed that a story of yours was removed by the moderators. What happened there? Premise sounded interesting
@@BirbletonVA they said it was low effort? I think it was because it wasn’t long enough.
Look in humansarespaceorcs for DONT LIE TO HUMANS, THEY WILL BELIEVE YOU.
I'm not sure Rusty is too happy with a cannibalistic spider gal considering him as breedable.
More chrysalis
Space Otters are definitely adorable.
But I wonder how the aliens can be mammals and not have the kinds of powerful traits we have.
And the ban seems kind of silly.
If humans are a potentially terrifying threat, they are also a potentially incredible boon.
Like space travel, and any number of machines.
wait is this a story about Rusty.
Really enjoyed this one
Nobody tell the bird people about KFC
So much atmosphere
FIRST CAT, NOW OTTER WITH TABLET.
i think the cat is later in the story arc. Because it appeared to reference certain points of this chapter.
Who keeps writeing these stories about space otters?
Me
Creepy furries. Always report them irl if you know any. They abuse animals physically and sexually.
Everyone loves space otters
I like the application of human government burocsy showing F u b a r on a galactic scale maby we are not the only insane species
Your voice is quite nice for narration
Felt like i heard this before
I love this. 😢🩶
i loved this 💖
sorry to bug you youngster, but how many stories do you have with rusty and perg in them/ Those are too cute.
Not problem at all! Only three so far, but planning on narrating a Lot more of her work. She has written a lot more stories involving the two characters, they're all on her reddit page. :)
Are there more Rusty and Perg stories?
The volume is insanely low
hello fellow humans
"clicked tongue" not teeth...
Fwiw i believe the 'corp' in words like corpman is pronounced 'core'. (E.g. 27:20ish)
Found you
Is the narrator Nature's Temper?
No :P but I've been compared to him a few times now haha
All you had to say was "Human Narrator"
deus
Short story - 30mins
This was written by AI... no fur on the shoulders and feet?
@@nox5555 nope, I’m not an AI. The description of Rusty was from Pergs perspective.
Pretty good.
You mispronounced **especially** though.
Yeah, my whole world collapsed when I realised I’d been saying it wrong my entire life 😐
@@BirbletonVA good.
Do better.
I have faith in you.
@@themarlboromandaloriana bit rude :|..
Is the narrator human?
I am indeed human
@@BirbletonVAyou are only the third human hfy narrator i know of
First!
No you weren't.
You have taken a good story and ruined it with this narrative.
