@@CMdragon42 Had not thought of that, and I love it. XD I was just feeling bad that he was getting left out (and rained on), so let's go with your idea.
I've been in the gloom as well. Tonight.. find the darkest place in your yard and make sure there are no lights around and then look up at the sky and eventually you'll see a shooting star and that will make you happier I promise
Girl you must not think so but you are doing God's work. This video and your recent ones all hit the spot with the fall moody feels. Breathtaking, if I could hang your videos in the Louvre I would. 🖤
MELINDA.. I love this one so much! you never cease to amaze me... I love your artwork.. I love your sounds and it is a freaking sin that you don't have more subscribers.. we need to change that Who cares about a mouth and nails You are HANDS DOWN the best ASMR channel
I really enjoy board games especially Scrabble, Monopoly, checkers, Life. Someone outside would like to join the game. The kitty at the table is adorable. Excellent video. I hope all is well!
Seeing the little pumpkins on the boxes makes me extra excited about this year's Halloween content. I'm always looking forward to those videos. Also loving the sound of the falling dices!
LOVE this!!!😄 You always have the most unique themes and they always spark so many stories in my mind. This one is a favorite of mine- I love board games and my family and some family friends have board game nights together. This atmosphere you’ve created is so comforting to me!! Thank you for always sharing pieces of your wonderful imagination come to life with us!!
i DON'T KNOW HOW YOUR AMBIENCES MANAGE TO BE SO CHILL. 💜💜💜 Also there's this one part of the game where the thumping of the board gets a little intense. that is the kids thumping each other because someone else is winning 🤭
This is a surprise! I am currently writing a scene in my book where children are celebrating their friend's birthday. Such a perfect background music to the scene. Thank you, Melinda!
been watching your videos for a while and decided to sub this evening. Can't wait for more fall vids as the new season progresses. Also I need to set up a night like this with my friends. the idea of it seems so much fun. i would play with the cat a few board games.
In Love!! So cool, and enchanted by the dice! (Stared and watched those die move for a good 30min!!!)💜😄💜 Felt a "Jumanji" nod there! Saved, work and study playlists! 😘 Thank you for another amazing vid!!💕💕💜💜💕💕
Horrified, what an excellent game. Melinda I love your content so much. I have some ideas regarding board games, such as dreidel at the carnival, yatzy at the casino, just board games of different cultures would be awesome, thank you for staying consistant with us, some people on here don't do that.
They look like they are in slow motion already for visual effect. Dice don’t roll naturally slow like that, not unless improperly balanced anyway. They just stop or skitter.
I certainly would not mind being lost in the middle of the woods playing a board game with a black cat in a dark cabin. As for the monster outside, he was caught cheating! 😁
Her lips met his and there was a war on her side as she hungrily fought for a dominance that was never needed as he gave in to her almost immediately. Her Lavender scent mingled with his mint. Her hands clawed at him everywhere as though she was losing it and Luke knew she was or she’d never… He initially tried to return her passion but her lips felt cold against his even as she pushed him onto the bed, pushing her whole weight against him. Luke stilled as her hands started moving lower and he finally grabbed her hand. There was no warmth in her eyes even as he spoke -“Are you sure you want this?” “You love me” was all she said her eyes dead. -“I do” he echoed: -“I always have and will do so. I’m here for you. But we’ve been going at it for days , you barely eat anything and you…Lydia you’re not here…you do not recognize me” he could hardly recognize his own voice hoarse from holding back his emotions. He might’ve made a mistake, he realized as her face contorted to form the most distressed expression and before he could react she had fled the room and he knew she’d be heading out now. He could not let her as he ran after her blocking the main door from her. She thrashed violently at him, she clearly did not recognize him; he hardly recognized the person his best friend had become. He stood still and took it all holding back a wince but still did not move aside. They were dancing again; except they weren’t really. Hands and nails scratched and grabbed at him as he refused to move aside; refused to let her go. He received all her force quietly only grabbing her to not let her pass through the threshold. It had become e regular thing now. That’s what he’d been telling himself since the last couple of months. They’d wrestle and no, he’d never hit her so it’d be one sided. All he’d do was keep her from leaving. She stilled for a moment and he grew wary waiting for what she’d throw his way now. She held fistfuls of his shirt tightly. “I love you” she breathed out, her fistfuls of his shirt not loosening up. His breath hitched; words he’d have done anything to hear from her just three months prior and her confession echoed against the bare walls of their shared home. Slowly he shook his head refusing to give in. In response she only tightened her grip on his shirt and slid down forcing him down with her. She heaved her fists at him, her strength barely there as she rocked back and forth like a frustrated child. His heart broke into a millionth piece; as if there was anything left of it in the first place. His heart had been marred and then clawed out and the very person to blame would be him. He wanted to help her and truly, he was helping her. She just would not; could not understand. “You said you loved me, Luke” tears were leaking from his beloved’s eyes. “Is this how you love someone?” she raised her head and Lord…Luke could only see pain in those eyes he had marveled at for so long from a distance before eventually giving in to them; they were the silkiest shade of emerald green, the color of the ocean at the very depth where marine life was at its most abundant. He knew of it from his diving experience; with the very person sitting next to him at the moment clearly not in the state of mind to be able to think back to their little day outs. .. He was right beside her watching the sight unravel by itself. Her dark waist length hair around them like ink infusing in the water. She was crouched low settled on the sea bed prodding at a particular rock with a gloved hand when an innocent looking tentacle peeked out from behind a rock and reached for her gloved fingers. Lydia was in awe as she made to peel off one of her glove and Luke tried to gesture not to; it could be too cold or dangerous as they did not know what to expect. But she gave him one of her calming smiles; as much as her tight goggles and mouth piece would allow, her brows relaxing and a familiar twinkle in her dark green eyes. Luke warmed and decided to stay close by instead. Satisfied by what she saw she now turned her full attention back at the tentacle. Her eyes widened as the tentacle wrapped itself around her fingers, gently almost like giving her a hug and then that one tentacle turned to two and then three and then finally eight and finally the head immerged from behind its rock and shyly it too caressed her skin carefully as if scared of hurting her. Her head turned, eyes meeting his and she beamed at him and he nodded his head; soft at the sight in front of him. Her sea green eyes almost mingling with the surroundings. She was a sight to behold, being embraced by nature herself. Back by the shore as they lay, still next to each other breathing freely at last, he could not help but pretend this was what it wasn’t. That they were lovers spending time together and not ‘just friends’, that his feelings were reciprocated and not one sided and that she wanted him the way he wanted her; the fervor of a sea creature stranded on a dessert. He was both relentless and a coward. He knew she did not feel the same about him so he stayed quiet. This he knew painfully too well. He would watch her flirt with every good looking person and that would be pretty much it; all he could do was watch. He was also unforgiving of his feelings, never even trying to get over them as they were all that got him out of bed every morning. He might not have her by his side but at least he could have her back, could make sure she never gets hurt. Before Lydia he was a lost vessel at the sea, on and on he swayed with the winds having no direction or destination of his own. He was brought out of his thoughts by stray fingers massaging his temple gently. Lydia was leaning on her elbows and peering down at his face. The sight made his breath hitched and he struggled to not swallow. He could not let her realize it or she’d distance herself from him worrying about hurting her best friend. Dark eyes met emerald ones and God she was beautiful…the most beautiful. She looked like she had come out of one of those fairytales he’d read to his niece at bedtime. Her luscious dark hair matted at a side of her face, a frown between her brows as she worked her fingers at his temple trying to erase the line of thought he knew he had as he had been thinking of the very woman lying next to him. Her peachy lips were parted slightly and Luke could not help but wonder what it would be like to kiss them or even brush his fingertips against them. Reluctant to give in to his most deeply buried desires, he instead allowed himself to raise his hand slowly while allowing her to retreat before brushing the hair away and cupping her cheek. She stilled and then leant in blinking slowly. The sunlight caressing all the right angles of her face and bringing out her sharp cheekbones and the point of her nose. He could be happy with this; he’d told himself. Back to present he wrapped his arms around her trembling self even as he knew she would not return his embrace. He missed those days even though he had had to keep his feelings hidden. When he finally thought he could speak he managed: -“I do harbor feelings for you which are different from what friends feel towards each other and that’s why…Lydia, I cannot let you go.” He takes a long breath before continuing -“It is all for your own good. Please trust me” His words have no effect and her sobbing only got louder. “Do you even know what it feels like?” he stayed quiet; he did not. “I can always feel my blood pounding in my veins, my head feels like it’s about to burst, I can’t fall asleep and I have this constant craving that nothing else can satisfy and I can barely remember my life beyond this” Luke held her tighter, hot tears prickling at his eyes but he struggled to stay strong…Lydia needed him. She raised her head to meet his gaze and…she truly looked broken with her tear stained face; emerald pupils blown wide, so dark and Luke wished they were dilated under a completely different circumstance, when she’s looking at something she loved and not…due to withdrawal symptoms. “It hurts Luke…what will I do now?” gasping she let her head fall against his shoulder, completely dejected. Feeling helpless he silently twirled his fingers between her hair. He pushed away a fleeting memory while they were still teens, a night they’d both sneaked away after curfew from their respective homes to go on a late night drive, her long hair whipping against the wind through the open window while a smile played at her lips looking ahead into the road. They had nothing to fear having decided they’d be back before dawn. They had stopped at a gas station and enjoyed ice creams whilst sitting on the roof of the car. Lydia had just told him about the latest gossips going around and Luke had made a passing comment and she had laughed so hard, he had had to hold onto her arm to balance her. Their eyes had met but they both looked away immediately. Now thinking back Luke only regretted it, not confessing. It did not matter if she had rejected him. At least she would’ve known she had someone to rely on; someone who would never leave her side. The Lydia of present barely remembered him and his feelings were clearly not conveyed to her. They’ll get by this, he would make sure of that. He would help Lydia get over her addiction, keep her away from those people and…and if after this she wanted nothing to do with him… he’d leave but only after making sure she’d never give in to her bad habits again. twitter: @julyswillow
The big monster outside the window wants to play.
Maybe he is using his telekinesis power though the window.
It's so rude to not invite them over!
The hiding critters are my favvv
@@CMdragon42 Had not thought of that, and I love it. XD I was just feeling bad that he was getting left out (and rained on), so let's go with your idea.
@@ShinnoEli At 6:20 the dice roll exactly when he shows up and looks at the board so yeah, seems plausible ☺
Ooh, I like that exact sound of rain dropping on windows. 🌧 🪟🪟
I love the black cat at the table. So cute ❤️
Thanks!
I love all the little details on the table! And the sound of the dice 🤤 Another amazing work of Art.
Been really stressed and feeling down lately, but seeing this video made me happier :) Thank you so much for always ending my week on a better note 😁
I've been in the gloom as well.
Tonight.. find the darkest place in your yard and make sure there are no lights around and then look up at the sky and eventually you'll see a shooting star and that will make you happier I promise
@@firecracker187 Thank you for the suggestion :) I hope everything is going well for you, and I pray that good things will happen to all of us soon!
Yet another video of perfection…been looking forward to this all day!
Aww, thank you! Hope you'll enjoy
playing boardgames is such a big part of my childhood. and I still do. It bring the family together. Thank you so much for creating this one
Same!
Girl you must not think so but you are doing God's work. This video and your recent ones all hit the spot with the fall moody feels. Breathtaking, if I could hang your videos in the Louvre I would. 🖤
oh this is definitely one of my all time favourites! so cozy, what a lovely start to autumn!
MELINDA.. I love this one so much! you never cease to amaze me... I love your artwork.. I love your sounds and it is a freaking sin that you don't have more subscribers.. we need to change that
Who cares about a mouth and nails
You are HANDS DOWN the best ASMR channel
I love the windows and the twilight!
LOVE your channel! The ambiance & sounds of your videos are perfect! Will listen not just during the season but all year round! Thank you 🧡

You haven't even scratched the surface of good board games. There's so much good stuff out there.
@@ariaflame-au For example...? (Recs please! ^_^)

I love playing Miracle Forest's videos to fall asleep to, or to play cozy games to, this one's definitely becoming a new favourite! Wonderful!
I love this. The rain with the board game sounds is perfect. That creature that keeps popping up at the window is frightening but I like it lol. 💯✨😌😴
I love your other board game video, and I love this one too! Thank you sooo much
I love the ones with rain added!!
So mysterious and peaceful.
i DON'T KNOW HOW YOUR AMBIENCES MANAGE TO BE SO CHILL. 💜💜💜 Also there's this one part of the game where the thumping of the board gets a little intense. that is the kids thumping each other because someone else is winning 🤭
Finally, ASMR for the haunted! My dark soul luxuriates!
Love this especially the moving dice
I WAS LOOKING FOR THT VID FOR AGES OMMMMMGGGGG I CANT BLV IT!!
I love this! It hits the spot tonight like a handmade quilt and hot chocolate too. Thank you! So cozy💕
It would be so cool if you could make a Coraline inspired video 🖤
Yes!!!!
This is a surprise! I am currently writing a scene in my book where children are celebrating their friend's birthday. Such a perfect background music to the scene. Thank you, Melinda!
They’re playing Horrified!
I love that game!
Every Detail is Awesome. Great work.
I deeply desire a board game kitty fren, especially one made entirely of darkness with luminous blue eyes. He is a fren and I love him.
this is so good i love cold weather and board games
been watching your videos for a while and decided to sub this evening. Can't wait for more fall vids as the new season progresses. Also I need to set up a night like this with my friends. the idea of it seems so much fun. i would play with the cat a few board games.
omg yes just in time to do my hw!
In Love!! So cool, and enchanted by the dice! (Stared and watched those die move for a good 30min!!!)💜😄💜 Felt a "Jumanji" nod there!
Saved, work and study playlists! 😘
Thank you for another amazing vid!!💕💕💜💜💕💕
공부할 때 듣는데 집중도 잘되고 분위기도 좋아요
What a great idea! I love it!
The board game is called "Horrified." Excellent game!
I thought u said u were going to make another abandoned theme park ambience, I love your videos ❤
I'd love playing board game with kitty 😺
This one is ... good.. reaaallll good
The storm and the board game
Poltergeist is playing with the cat.
I love this!!!! Super original.
HEAVEN!!!!
Cool writing sounds ✏️
Nice skeleton 💀basking in that bowl of chips
This is super cool
Splendid atmosphere and crisp sounds 🤗 My new favourite of yours! I need more
oh yes. OH YES! I LOVE THIS! Melinda you rooooock!
Just noticed the cat is playing horrified, great choice,fun game
The art is beautiful 😻
Reminds me of Jumanji, where the pieces move on their own. ♟This is the monster version of Jumanji!
This is SUPER COOL!!! 😍😍
Horrified, what an excellent game. Melinda I love your content so much. I have some ideas regarding board games, such as dreidel at the carnival, yatzy at the casino, just board games of different cultures would be awesome, thank you for staying consistant with us, some people on here don't do that.
PERFECT!!!!
I would reduce speed on dice roll as they approach and reach the end of cycle as they replay the sequence . So it seems more natural and less produced
But they roll very beautifully and smooth , fun to watch
They look like they are in slow motion already for visual effect. Dice don’t roll naturally slow like that, not unless improperly balanced anyway. They just stop or skitter.
somebody has a new intro screen. The flickering credits remind me of the Mystery! intro.
I bet the kitty is winning
Would happily play Spookopoly w the catto---13/10
thanks
Very relaxing 😎
Outstanding!
If this cat feels lonely, I’d like to play with him.😊
Enchanting 😮
Awesome
i wish tht was a game !!
Very nice!!! 👻👻👍👍👍👍👍👍
Could I please request something Neil Gaiman Sandman themed? I feel like your creepy dream-like vibe would be perfect!
Morpheus, yes to that too!
Plis upload the spirit of autumn
🖤🖤😊🖤🖤

This comment is to help this channel in the algorithm.
👍👍❤❤
Let's hope it's not Jumanji......
😪😪
the rain sounds like static. tbh idc tho
No one wants to play with the cat? 😔
