God. DAMN IT, the first thing I thought when Kieth said about staying over in the last ep. was that we HAD TO TEXT ALEX AND LET HIM KNOW THAT WE WEREN'T GONNA BE HOME THAT NIGHT
Ooh, this one left me feeling _conflicted_ . On one hand, there's of course sympathy for the boys. For Keith, for being essentially thrusted into this new, unfamiliar situation without any real guidance, just a 'we'll figure it out as we go' (which I _cannot_ imagine ever going really well). For Alex, for feeling neglected and like he doesn't matter. But on the other hand... a part of me thinks 'Listener cannot read your minds, if you don't tell them when things aren't okay for either of you anymore, they can't do anything about it'. I feel bad for listener; they took what their partners said at face-value, trusting their words, and now... well. And that's the lynchpin to the entire situation; a lack of communication. Alex should've communicated from the start that he wants to be number one, that what he is okay with is Hierarchical Polyamory, and not Kitchen-Table Polyamory or a 'Vee', with our listener character as the hinge. And Keith should've voiced his hesitations way earlier, and check in one-on-one with Alex if he's really, truly okay with this, since Keith knows Alex is a bit possessive. (Not in a negative way, but I can't think of another word for it.) I'm not saying that it would've been easy. Being honest to that degree requires a lot of trust and self-confidence. But from what I've read and heard from polyam people, it's necessary. Else it leads to messes and pain like this. Honestly, if I were in listeners position, I'd probably run away. In my mind, there'd be one common denominator which makes both Alex and Keith unhappy; me. So, I'd remove myself from their lives. Go live with a friend, or parents. Pack my things, leave a note for either of them, leave the phone and then just... go. It's a coward's way, I'm well aware. And hypocritical, since instead of communicating I'd just be leaving without giving the opportunity to properly talk it out. But, well. I've always been a bit of a coward. (Now, if I'm fully honest, I might even get angry. Along the lines of 'neither of you were open and honest with me. It's like you both _wanted_ this to fail and didn't put in the effort to communicate. In that case, I'm leaving without saying anything. See how it feels.' Would that be fair? Of course not. It would be mean, petty and untrue. But the brain comes up with mighty adjustments to reality in order to avoid uncomfortable truths, and to absolve oneself of any wrongdoings.) Sidenote - I've seen several Polyamorous Content Creators say that Polynesian People have asked Polyamorous people to use the abbreviation 'polyam' instead of 'poly', to avoid confusion, since Polynesian People have been using the 'poly' abbreviation for longer. Maybe something to keep in mind for future polyam audios, if there are any?
Well - a point of clarification, first. Keith was talking about Alex needing to be first; but Alex was talking about _not being second._ These are very different things. So, perhaps they could have talked about expectations for their relationship during this expansion phase - but I think it's fair to expect previous commitments and expectations to remain in effect until otherwise discussed. So I don't particularly fault Alex for feeling put out, nor for Keith's feelings about "oh my god this is so much to take in." It's all legit. Feelings are hard. That being said - no malice was present here. These are good people. Have faith. And - interesting note on the poly/polyam thing. I haven't seen this used elsewhere, but it's good to know it's a concern. I'll talk to folks about it.
Oof, that last minute with the unanswered calls was such a gut punch. Poor Alex. I don't doubt that the listener loves him dearly but I don't think they realized just yet that the level of commitment to communication and consideration for their partner is now something that will have to be met for *both.* I'm hoping for the best for all three of them :c Side note but it's so sweet how the boys have kept one another in their thoughts and are conscious of the other's emotional wellbeing! The bones for a strong MMF arrangement are there, the characters just need some time to figure out how to make it work for everyone. I'm not even into this kind of thing, but I've been following the series because the characters and the voice actors are just that compelling! I'm rooting for all of them ;w;
This genuinely made me start tearing up; I’m so invested in this story and it’s so easy to immerse myself in it. This is genuinely one of my favorite stories, not just from you guys or from this medium but in general, and it holds a really special place in my heart ❤ If I were in the situation I’d probably have a good cry, maybe call a bff or my mom to come give me a hug because i would definitely need one. I love how much Keith and Alex love each other and how deeply they care about the other - you can genuinely feel that they’ve been best friends since they can remember; me and my bff that i’ve known as long as i can remember are just like this, and also metamours, although with less emotional intensity in our current shared relationship, and i know that i would definitely leave any knew relationship to protect her from heart break you’re best friends are the people that matter as much, if not more, than any potential romance, at least to me - i could be in love but if it’s between a new relationship and any of my best friends; besties, in a heartbeat. but getting back to the video after that tangent, i do love that you can tell how carefully they’re trying to avoid heartbreak and how many unforeseen pitfalls they’re stumbling into; it really makes you root for them to come out okay 😊
Oh my this was positively devastating. You carry good emotion in your voice, definitely prompted a pretty powerful sense of guilt. "This is your home and I'm your family and Keith might be part of this family some day but he's not yet." - absolutely powerful line and also intriguing. Poor Alex was happily discussing everyone moving in together not long ago which makes that verbal rejection show how hurt he was from the girlfriend not coming home and how...fragile this still was in spite of his enthusiasm. "I thought we all had an understanding that this was where you belong unless stated otherwise" It occurs to me that Alex is an optimist and Keith is a realist. Alex has probably had a reasonably nice run of things in his life whereas Keith (seemingly) has been more down on his luck. I think this informs their approach and reactions where Keith considers concrete steps and realities whereas Alex saw the happy ending. His girlfriend would always come home to him even if he lovingly set her off with another and when she didn't it was devastating. Keith's voicemail in light of how Alex reacted is pretty interesting. By facilitating and encouraging his best friend and girlfriend Alex was still quite in the forefront and in control. When his girlfriend and Keith did something on their own without him it was probably quite jarring that he lost control and felt pushed to the background. He's a good guy but I'm guessing he never thought how Keith must have felt when the same thing happened to him. Which - yeah, makes them best friends because Keith called it right away. Oh! Also by Alex feeling he's fulfilling his girlfriend by offering this relationship also means Alex in turn will have to accept that he'll get/see a different aspect of his girlfriend that he's probably not used to from her being with Keith and that's gonna be a change as well that'll take growth. Sorry for the long comment. Another really excellent video and I love the developments among them all.
Well, of course, a lot of this is open to interpretation. I can lend some thought process from when I was making it - "Keith might be part of this family some day but he's not yet." but that's not the end of the thought: "Or, at least, we didn't talk about it yet." He wants to be part of the process, or to at least understand where listener sits, and be _included._ And his level of hurt at listener not coming home was not because she didn't come home, but rather, at the open-endedness of leaving him guessing about _why._ Combo hit. I'd posit it's less of a need to be in control and much more to just be in the loop. And, consider this: he's the one with the most to lose.
@@AuralArcanaThank you for elaborating! Alex is a really interesting character. Its always good to know someone's thinking process when it comes to viewing their actions. Alex and Keith are definitely gonna have to have a one on one bro talk and be open about their fears and hopes.
@@MaryMarixo And that's part of the difficulty of this particular method of storytelling - it's _roleplay._ Effectively: if you, the listener, are not present, then the moment cannot be experienced. So, they won't get solo bro time that we directly experience. We'd have to be told about it after the fact, or be present for it. 😕
I’m this 🤏 close to start crying for real. Because honestly, if this was really happening to me, that day alone I would spend it crying in the bed, questioning myself and if I’m a good person because of what I’m putting the guys that I love through. Especially after that none of them picked up the phone. And I feel so bad for Alex… a simple text could have avoided this whole situation…! And Keith, saying not to worry about it won’t keep me from doing so… especially the conversation that just happened, even though you can’t know that. I knew things were going too well in the last video… Very well done Aural, I felt your performance all the way to my soul, adding Ramble’s one and wrapping it up with the both of them not picking up the phone and there you have it: a very beautiful and emotional experience I can’t wait for the next part…
You guys have built up so much of a connection with both of these characters. So much so that if i were in that situation "being realistic" would literally break my heart in half. If I love both Alex and Keith equally and just have a problem balencing, it'd be my fault entirely, but it'd hurt just as much as a bad breakup to lose either of them. All that being said I hope this all gets the happy ending we're hoping for.
This made me cry I'm so invested and I love these characters as if they're my actual lovers. You make me feel big emotions I've never felt or dealt with before.
oh my GOD! That was so good and asdfghjk It made me so emotional, literally trying not to tear up and bite my knuckles in frustration 😭 I love this series so much and I never want it to end
So - I've talked about this a bit before, but a lot of recent work is unscripted. So for this series, when our characters are not having a convo, we just kind of agree on a high-level overview of things to touch on, and then we wing it and record stuff. And, yeah - there's a certain measure of inserting oneself into the situation, feeling betrayed/inadequate/discarded/ignored, and just letting it flow. And those are the _fun_ ones for me. "Showdown" was great, because I got to give off a little rage, as well as some regret and loss, and finally relief. "Unraveled" on Patreon was also really great for a sense of barely-contained heartache. "Fire From Darkness" was great for frustration and grief and loss of direction/self - "Could you not have _warned_ me?!" Others, too. I think the diversity of emotional contexts keeps people on their toes and makes this a more interesting place, you know? 😄
You guys, this was so well done!! It was so painfully poetic that Keith intuitively knew Alex's current struggles (just like he immediately clocked his new shirt color in the last episode). Honestly, the Listener deserves to be alone with herself after this...Alex was right, just a 3-word text would've made a huge difference. Just, amazing performances from you both, a sort of harmonizing tension & distress entwined with love for the others. Can't wait to see where you go from here...so glad this isn't all hearts & flowers & everything easy.
I'm so mad at "myself". I would definitely go crazy in his place. It's not even jealousy, it's uncontrollable anxiety. If she didn't come home because she stayed with her girlfriends and forgot to write, it would be no less painful, because it's scary not knowing what's going on with the person you love.
Sure - and feeling like the person you've made the center point of your life giving the best of their affections to someone else is really bad, too. I think... there's room to fix this though, yeah?
What an absolute rollercoaster of emotions this series has been and will continue to be. I love it and it will always be one of my favorite series❤️ This episode in particular was truly heartbreaking to listen to but still so perfectly written and performed by you and Ramble. Oh our prescious gem Alex got hurt💔 I literally cried and found myself saying out loud "I'm so sorry" to Alex and then at the end to Keith, they deserve so much better🥺 Each moment showed the heart wrenching reality of how any relationship could go awry with even the tiniest mistake and how communication is so important. If I didn't know about how your audios end eventually then I would feel there was no hope here but I do have faith, oh I have to believe everything will be all lovey dovey again🥰😆 You truly should be commended on the outstanding quality you bring to every audio and I'm excited to hear more of what you have to provide in the future💗 *btw I love your use of the on-screen visualizer, absolute chef's kiss*
Introducing conflict and resolving it makes for compelling storylines, imo - so you'll probably be ok. ...Probably. 😉 And thanks for commenting on the visualizer.
The difference of value was the hardest part about being poly. If I’m going to be sharing a relationship I need equal value, clear communication and no tricks. I didn’t have that, I’m worth more than drama.
@@AuralArcana I’m totally 💯 expect that people will treat me different from others because I’m….. Weird. Lol I’m Autistic, ADHD and have Tourette’s…. I’m a party…. lol
welp I'm a hopeful person so I really do hope *(literally dying, praying, begging on my knees, on the verge of tears)* that we're all gonna be a-okay on another note, I'm gonna try my absolute best to click even faster and harder next time :)
Ngl i could not do this 💀 like i would be ugly crying the whole time, i can’t do anything under pressure/ big emotions. Like this whole relationship with our boys seems so hard and uhhh idk how to name itt 😭😭 like my heart feels so heavy, i feel guilty about liking them both and making them feel that way, having them both be sad and worried 🧍♀️
Aww this one was so sad and I can't believe we didn't give him a sign that we won't be staying over somewhere else. I have a feeling this poly thing won't work overall😢😢❤❤
Bro got me crying in class, all my past trauma resurfacing and just hitting me in the gut, plus my period. I would feel so alone, and that I let everyone down. Please find a way to fix this please, my entire mental state is depending on this whole series. If that’s not your plan for the series that’s okay, but got that hurts so much. Anyway I love you and Ramble and Aural, keep up the amazing work ♡♡♡
I've listened to all nine parts. You and Ramble King just earned a new subscriber because I have to know what happens next. I'm invested! I've never even thought of being poly, and I'm all like, "Oh my Gosh! How am I gonna save us?" What the heck?
Hahaha, glad to hear you found it absorbing. Now, Ramble is moving on from making roleplays like this, but yes, we're still talking about making an episode to wrap up.
Hi you two👋, Kudos to you for dedicating yourself to this topic. I think the implementation is great and every part gave me something to think about. I think Alex underestimated the whole situation, which I personally can't blame him for. I'm very excited to see how this love triangle will continue.
I'm..... so glad that I don't personally see this lifestyle for myself, cause I could NOT put up with this. I'm already terrified of heartbreak, I don't need it TWICE! Much less hurting two people because of it 😭😭😭 Your performance literally brought me to tears. If I were actually in this situation somehow, I would feel so bad and I'd definitely blame the heck out of myself. This is..... realistically, this is not looking good 😢💔
I have a feeling that maybe listener will distance herself from both of the thinking that all is messed up because of her and in the end she ended up just hurting the people she cared and jeopardizing the relationship they too had, it's being a harsh bump but i do really do hope they can overcome this 😢❤🥺
Oh the way my stomach dropped out from under me on this audio. The feeling of absolutely knowing in the depths of your soul that someone you love was hurt by your carelessness. And you hadn't meant to, and you love them so much, but that doesn't matter, because you see and hear the pain in them as if you had cut them with a knife. And the only thing you can do is to completely own your mistake and try to be vigilant against repeating it.
WAAAAAH😭 Can we have 2 nice happy ending audios in a row please!? The problem is that I understand both Alex and Kieth and at first I was so sad for Alex, but the moment he said(not sure exactly what) but something in the sense of 'I wasn't number one' I kind of stoped and started thinking his words through. And I agree with Kieth in what he said, but even though Alex may not have grown out of his habuts, doesn't mean there isn't still time to improve, I'm not sure what his parents would think of this situation, but maybe they too could kind of help explain things. I'm not in any sense saying Alex is wrong to feel how he feels, he has every right. I too would be worrued sick if my partner wouldn't text me where they were or uf there was change in plans. But some issues can't end up being avoided or not duscussed and this is an example if it. I'm glad Alex will want to talk about ut later, but I'm not sure he will like every part of the talk... ANYWAY to stop all the rumble. YOU TWO DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!! Can't wait for part 9😍😍
@@AuralArcana YOU 🫵owo i'm gonna have faith bc that's what you said to the others but- my heart is one breeze away from shattering in a million pieces (that means you two did an amazing job but still!!) YOU 🫵-.-
I usually don’t comment much. I like to be a lurker. With that being said, you have made me feel some things and don’t appreciate it. 😅 Good job. 😊 I hope you will keep on making audios, because you are getting better at it and I know you will do great things. As a side note, once I get paid, I’ll probably subscribe to your Patreon.
Making listeners feel things is always the goal! And sometimes... feeling unpleasant things is good preparation for feeling other things. And - thanks for the thought on joining Patreon. I hope it comes to pass and you feel it's worthwhile!
@@AuralArcana True, but I don’t feel like crying on a Monday afternoon. Also, I’m sure it will come to pass. I’m very picky about what audios I listen to. So, if I like you, you deserve it.
... yeah, I was worried about how eager and enthusiastic Alex was from the start. The surprise whammy of jealousy really sucks to get hit with, and working through it can be an insurmountable challenge for some people. Polyamory isn't for everyone. 😢 That said, I'm hoping we get everyone talking to each other soon - there are a lot of unspoken assumptions that have been relied on, hashing things out and setting guidelines where necessary is gonna be crucial. And I really want this to work! Not just for the representation (although that's lovely) but because you and Ramble, dammit, have gotten me invested in these two! I kind of want to bop them both over the head so they actually describe what they *want* the ideal version of this relationship to look like, because I suspect it's not as divergent as they assume... and if everyone's on board with the destination, it's easier to weather the bumps in the road on the way. (Keith's complaints about housing prices, and Alex's thoughts about a next living space? Please tell me that's foreshadowing, Aural. Please? 🥺 ) Anyway, you two are both just knocking the delivery out of the park, even if it hurts to listen to. On tenterhooks for the next installment! 💜💜💜
Dont worry?! Lol good one. I felt alex's words hard in this. Like I actually caused worry which sucks. Especially with a significant other. I feel like they all need to sit down have another discussion because with polyamory there needs to be check-ins, a lot of communication, and time for partners to have dates together, one on one time, etc. But when dating a friend of the boyfriend and they have this long friendship. There should probably be double the communication. Please dont say this is the end? I want a happy ending for all of them, and for them to learn how to better communicate their feelings.
Oh no my stomach dropped from the intro. What do you mean Listner didn’t do the bare minimum to let Alex know they good and to not wait up?like plans change but like. You ain’t check in? Big yikes. Now I’m anxiously pausing every five seconds. I know this won’t go well I’ve heard all of 5 words and Alex’s tone. Edit: oof the longer this went the more my heart hurt. It’s so easy for me to gush about being in a poly bc I can’t pick between two fictional characters but like. I want to be number one. So I totally get Alex. I really do. So irl I don’t think I could be in a situation like this.
Alex:and I heard nothing Me: it's okay I'm here and I'm sorry I worried you but don't worry Kieth was with me and both of you wouldn't let anything happen to me (runs over and gives him a tight hug)
@@AuralArcana I know and I'm so so so sorry I was tired and I ended up falling asleep I never meant to and please know I never wanted you to panic I was going to call you but I got worried you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you up while you were asleep
@@AuralArcana I have been polyam for most of the last 17 years, almost half my life. I have been in the shoes of each of these characters at one point or another. I have felt the sorrow and guilt of "why does being myself always seem to hurt the people I love" I have known the pure joy of waking up with a loved one on either side of me looking at me like there is no place in the world they would rather be than right by my side. I have known the jealousy of feeling like I faded into the background when the new shiny relationship came along. Me being able to guess where the story may go next means you are doing a good job of portraying a true to life story. I have been giddy with their joy and empathized with their sorrow. I have played these videos for others in my polycule, my family, and they have done the same. Don't for a moment think that what I said was in any way a negative toward you, or Ramble, or this beautiful work.
@AuralArcana HOW???? HOW DO I CONTINUE???? Promise that things will be ok? Even if we don't get the happy ending we want, they shouldn't stop being friends because of me.
Barely 2 min in and already I’m hurting for Alex… “No I didn’t sleep” BROKE MY HEART 😢 **gets tissues ready** Edit to add: *LITERALLY FUCKING SOBBING RIGHT NOW*
Nah, this character is way stronger than I am, me?? With my avoidant type ass?? I would've broken up with both of them and hauled ass to antartica or sth so that they can both have better chance at love than me, and just spend the rest of my life berating myself for ever wanting more. Maybe that's just my self depreciation talking tho 🙃
WTF was that who's gonna have the next part normally you end on a somewhat positive note what the c*** man That can't be how the series ends please tell me that's not how it ends
Calling Alex: hey i just got a call from Kieth i think we have something we need to discuss can you come home tonight i really don't think this should wait until tomorrow please Alex please 🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@AuralArcana yeah but it is better if we all talk about this plus maybe with both Kieth and I we can help show alex we care because we do and as someone with autism I'm clingy to those I care about

AW, that's so sweet! Thanks! 🥰
This genuinely made me start tearing up; I’m so invested in this story and it’s so easy to immerse myself in it.
This is genuinely one of my favorite stories, not just from you guys or from this medium but in general, and it holds a really special place in my heart ❤
If I were in the situation I’d probably have a good cry, maybe call a bff or my mom to come give me a hug because i would definitely need one.
I love how much Keith and Alex love each other and how deeply they care about the other - you can genuinely feel that they’ve been best friends since they can remember; me and my bff that i’ve known as long as i can remember are just like this, and also metamours, although with less emotional intensity in our current shared relationship, and i know that i would definitely leave any knew relationship to protect her from heart break
you’re best friends are the people that matter as much, if not more, than any potential romance, at least to me - i could be in love but if it’s between a new relationship and any of my best friends; besties, in a heartbeat.
but getting back to the video after that tangent, i do love that you can tell how carefully they’re trying to avoid heartbreak and how many unforeseen pitfalls they’re stumbling into; it really makes you root for them to come out okay 😊
Yeah - we're trying to navigate that really carefully.
My heart hurts so much. I just need Alex and the listener to be okay because I was crying right now.
Hang on! 😣
Oh my this was positively devastating.
You carry good emotion in your voice, definitely prompted a pretty powerful sense of guilt.
"This is your home and I'm your family and Keith might be part of this family some day but he's not yet." - absolutely powerful line and also intriguing. Poor Alex was happily discussing everyone moving in together not long ago which makes that verbal rejection show how hurt he was from the girlfriend not coming home and how...fragile this still was in spite of his enthusiasm.
"I thought we all had an understanding that this was where you belong unless stated otherwise"
It occurs to me that Alex is an optimist and Keith is a realist. Alex has probably had a reasonably nice run of things in his life whereas Keith (seemingly) has been more down on his luck. I think this informs their approach and reactions where Keith considers concrete steps and realities whereas Alex saw the happy ending. His girlfriend would always come home to him even if he lovingly set her off with another and when she didn't it was devastating.
Keith's voicemail in light of how Alex reacted is pretty interesting. By facilitating and encouraging his best friend and girlfriend Alex was still quite in the forefront and in control. When his girlfriend and Keith did something on their own without him it was probably quite jarring that he lost control and felt pushed to the background. He's a good guy but I'm guessing he never thought how Keith must have felt when the same thing happened to him. Which - yeah, makes them best friends because Keith called it right away.
Oh! Also by Alex feeling he's fulfilling his girlfriend by offering this relationship also means Alex in turn will have to accept that he'll get/see a different aspect of his girlfriend that he's probably not used to from her being with Keith and that's gonna be a change as well that'll take growth.
Sorry for the long comment. Another really excellent video and I love the developments among them all.
Well, of course, a lot of this is open to interpretation. I can lend some thought process from when I was making it -
"Keith might be part of this family some day but he's not yet." but that's not the end of the thought: "Or, at least, we didn't talk about it yet." He wants to be part of the process, or to at least understand where listener sits, and be _included._ And his level of hurt at listener not coming home was not because she didn't come home, but rather, at the open-endedness of leaving him guessing about _why._ Combo hit.
I'd posit it's less of a need to be in control and much more to just be in the loop. And, consider this: he's the one with the most to lose.
@@AuralArcanaThank you for elaborating! Alex is a really interesting character. Its always good to know someone's thinking process when it comes to viewing their actions. Alex and Keith are definitely gonna have to have a one on one bro talk and be open about their fears and hopes.
@@MaryMarixo And that's part of the difficulty of this particular method of storytelling - it's _roleplay._ Effectively: if you, the listener, are not present, then the moment cannot be experienced. So, they won't get solo bro time that we directly experience. We'd have to be told about it after the fact, or be present for it. 😕
I’m this 🤏 close to start crying for real. Because honestly, if this was really happening to me, that day alone I would spend it crying in the bed, questioning myself and if I’m a good person because of what I’m putting the guys that I love through. Especially after that none of them picked up the phone. And I feel so bad for Alex… a simple text could have avoided this whole situation…!
And Keith, saying not to worry about it won’t keep me from doing so… especially the conversation that just happened, even though you can’t know that.
I knew things were going too well in the last video…
Very well done Aural, I felt your performance all the way to my soul, adding Ramble’s one and wrapping it up with the both of them not picking up the phone and there you have it: a very beautiful and emotional experience
I can’t wait for the next part…
We're workin' on it!
@@AuralArcana Nice! But don’t forget to take care of yourself first! You’re amazing 🫰
You guys have built up so much of a connection with both of these characters. So much so that if i were in that situation "being realistic" would literally break my heart in half. If I love both Alex and Keith equally and just have a problem balencing, it'd be my fault entirely, but it'd hurt just as much as a bad breakup to lose either of them. All that being said I hope this all gets the happy ending we're hoping for.
Hang in there!
I knew jealous Alex was gonna happen sooner or later. amazing audio as always, can’t wait until the next part!! ❤
Working on it!
A lot of emotions, holy hell
Making people feel stuff is good, right? 😉
This made me cry
I'm so invested and I love these characters as if they're my actual lovers. You make me feel big emotions I've never felt or dealt with before.
That's honestly really nice to hear. Thank you so much! 🥹
I love this series, this video was so sad, I almost started crying, I hope it works out in the end. ❤❤ 🥺
Have some faith. 😌
@@AuralArcana im hoping for the best here😂❤️
oh my GOD! That was so good and asdfghjk It made me so emotional, literally trying not to tear up and bite my knuckles in frustration 😭 I love this series so much and I never want it to end
Well, it will end - but not for a bit.
Wow, I could literally hear the hurt and emotion in your voice. I was almost in tears listening to this. Can’t wait for more of this story!
💜💜💜
So - I've talked about this a bit before, but a lot of recent work is unscripted. So for this series, when our characters are not having a convo, we just kind of agree on a high-level overview of things to touch on, and then we wing it and record stuff.
And, yeah - there's a certain measure of inserting oneself into the situation, feeling betrayed/inadequate/discarded/ignored, and just letting it flow.
And those are the _fun_ ones for me. "Showdown" was great, because I got to give off a little rage, as well as some regret and loss, and finally relief. "Unraveled" on Patreon was also really great for a sense of barely-contained heartache. "Fire From Darkness" was great for frustration and grief and loss of direction/self - "Could you not have _warned_ me?!" Others, too.
I think the diversity of emotional contexts keeps people on their toes and makes this a more interesting place, you know? 😄
this made me cry
So it worked then... 😌 Sorry, it'll get better...
@@AuralArcana pinky swear? i hate bad endings
You guys, this was so well done!! It was so painfully poetic that Keith intuitively knew Alex's current struggles (just like he immediately clocked his new shirt color in the last episode). Honestly, the Listener deserves to be alone with herself after this...Alex was right, just a 3-word text would've made a huge difference.
Just, amazing performances from you both, a sort of harmonizing tension & distress entwined with love for the others. Can't wait to see where you go from here...so glad this isn't all hearts & flowers & everything easy.
Alex is becoming a monk and moving to Tibet; Keith is starting a harem.
@@AuralArcana That checks out. ✔
Holy shit this makes me want to eat a pint of ice cream in the dark and them sleep until next week.
...Until the next video. 😉
I'm so mad at "myself". I would definitely go crazy in his place. It's not even jealousy, it's uncontrollable anxiety. If she didn't come home because she stayed with her girlfriends and forgot to write, it would be no less painful, because it's scary not knowing what's going on with the person you love.
Sure - and feeling like the person you've made the center point of your life giving the best of their affections to someone else is really bad, too. I think... there's room to fix this though, yeah?
What an absolute rollercoaster of emotions this series has been and will continue to be. I love it and it will always be one of my favorite series❤️ This episode in particular was truly heartbreaking to listen to but still so perfectly written and performed by you and Ramble. Oh our prescious gem Alex got hurt💔 I literally cried and found myself saying out loud "I'm so sorry" to Alex and then at the end to Keith, they deserve so much better🥺 Each moment showed the heart wrenching reality of how any relationship could go awry with even the tiniest mistake and how communication is so important. If I didn't know about how your audios end eventually then I would feel there was no hope here but I do have faith, oh I have to believe everything will be all lovey dovey again🥰😆 You truly should be commended on the outstanding quality you bring to every audio and I'm excited to hear more of what you have to provide in the future💗
*btw I love your use of the on-screen visualizer, absolute chef's kiss*
Introducing conflict and resolving it makes for compelling storylines, imo - so you'll probably be ok. ...Probably. 😉
And thanks for commenting on the visualizer.
YAY NEW EPISODE!!!
And more to come...
😭 I hope all goes well. You guys made a masterpiece with this series!
Aw, thanks! 🥰
The difference of value was the hardest part about being poly. If I’m going to be sharing a relationship I need equal value, clear communication and no tricks. I didn’t have that, I’m worth more than drama.
And that's a subjective thing. Equal value does not mean treated the same. Consideration, thoughtfulness, inclusion - can vary from person to person.
@@AuralArcana I’m totally 💯 expect that people will treat me different from others because I’m….. Weird. Lol I’m Autistic, ADHD and have Tourette’s…. I’m a party…. lol
@@Meipmeep Some would consider that interesting. 😄
I love this series so much ❤❤
Aw, glad to hear it. The next one will be on Ramble's channel soon.
I love this series so much!
Awesome. 🥰
I've never clicked on a notification so fast 😭👍🏼
_Ouch, don't click me so hard!_
welp I'm a hopeful person so I really do hope *(literally dying, praying, begging on my knees, on the verge of tears)* that we're all gonna be a-okay
on another note, I'm gonna try my absolute best to click even faster and harder next time :)
@@julia-dx5xh HAHAHA, hang in there.
Great, now I'm gonna have a tummy ache over this until the next episode 😢
Oh, no! Trust they'll be ok! 😫
Ngl i could not do this 💀 like i would be ugly crying the whole time, i can’t do anything under pressure/ big emotions. Like this whole relationship with our boys seems so hard and uhhh idk how to name itt 😭😭 like my heart feels so heavy, i feel guilty about liking them both and making them feel that way, having them both be sad and worried 🧍♀️
More love is the answer! 😄
Love this series ❤
😁
Aww this one was so sad and I can't believe we didn't give him a sign that we won't be staying over somewhere else. I have a feeling this poly thing won't work overall😢😢❤❤
Let's wait and see...
@@AuralArcana😰😰😰
My heart is screaming and bleeding 🥹 JUSTICE FOR ALEX. I need a hug and ice cream 😢
Everybody wants everybody to be ok. 😊
Bro got me crying in class, all my past trauma resurfacing and just hitting me in the gut, plus my period. I would feel so alone, and that I let everyone down. Please find a way to fix this please, my entire mental state is depending on this whole series. If that’s not your plan for the series that’s okay, but got that hurts so much. Anyway I love you and Ramble and Aural, keep up the amazing work ♡♡♡
...Soon.
@@AuralArcana 😁😁😁
I've listened to all nine parts. You and Ramble King just earned a new subscriber because I have to know what happens next. I'm invested! I've never even thought of being poly, and I'm all like, "Oh my Gosh! How am I gonna save us?" What the heck?
Hahaha, glad to hear you found it absorbing.
Now, Ramble is moving on from making roleplays like this, but yes, we're still talking about making an episode to wrap up.
@@AuralArcana Very cool!
Hi you two👋,
Kudos to you for dedicating yourself to this topic.
I think the implementation is great and every part gave me something to think about.
I think Alex underestimated the whole situation, which I personally can't blame him for.
I'm very excited to see how this love triangle will continue.
More to come!
I'm..... so glad that I don't personally see this lifestyle for myself, cause I could NOT put up with this. I'm already terrified of heartbreak, I don't need it TWICE! Much less hurting two people because of it 😭😭😭 Your performance literally brought me to tears. If I were actually in this situation somehow, I would feel so bad and I'd definitely blame the heck out of myself. This is..... realistically, this is not looking good 😢💔
Aw, sorry (sorta)... have faith!
❤❤❤❤ best series
🤩
I have a feeling that maybe listener will distance herself from both of the thinking that all is messed up because of her and in the end she ended up just hurting the people she cared and jeopardizing the relationship they too had, it's being a harsh bump but i do really do hope they can overcome this 😢❤🥺
Giving people space they need is important. Sure. Or...
@@AuralArcana Still hanging in there then... FIGHTING!☺️
Bro im crying right now😭
Thanks for the amazing video🤗
Kinda by design - sorry. Sort of. It'll get better. 😄
I was already crying by the end of the video so I went to listen to music and my love is mine all mine by mitski came on now I can't stop crying
Aw, hang in there...
Oh the way my stomach dropped out from under me on this audio.
The feeling of absolutely knowing in the depths of your soul that someone you love was hurt by your carelessness. And you hadn't meant to, and you love them so much, but that doesn't matter, because you see and hear the pain in them as if you had cut them with a knife.
And the only thing you can do is to completely own your mistake and try to be vigilant against repeating it.
...ow.
WAAAAAH😭 Can we have 2 nice happy ending audios in a row please!? The problem is that I understand both Alex and Kieth and at first I was so sad for Alex, but the moment he said(not sure exactly what) but something in the sense of 'I wasn't number one' I kind of stoped and started thinking his words through. And I agree with Kieth in what he said, but even though Alex may not have grown out of his habuts, doesn't mean there isn't still time to improve, I'm not sure what his parents would think of this situation, but maybe they too could kind of help explain things. I'm not in any sense saying Alex is wrong to feel how he feels, he has every right. I too would be worrued sick if my partner wouldn't text me where they were or uf there was change in plans. But some issues can't end up being avoided or not duscussed and this is an example if it. I'm glad Alex will want to talk about ut later, but I'm not sure he will like every part of the talk...
ANYWAY to stop all the rumble. YOU TWO DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!! Can't wait for part 9😍😍
Working on it!
Let's hope that character analysis was good enough for phychology exam tomorrow🧐
Me-"your not gunna fall in love with someones voice..." Aural"Arcana-" well about that..."
🤩
@AuralArcana i woke up to this reply and now im gunna go back to bed happy
my therapy this thursday will be discussing THIS. BECAUSE NOW IM SOBBING THAT NEITHER PICKED UP. ITS TOO REMINISCENT OF THE PAST FOR ME-
They both had reasons. Have faith.
MY EMOTIONS :'((((((((((( Well I wasn't expecting to cry listening to this but... well... it happened x)
I mean, that _was_ a little by design... but that's only to make you value other stuff more. Hang on!
Hope they can work this out !😊
I hope so too! 😉
Ok I'm awake.. I'm awake.. wait.. noo don't go.. come back both of you! Oh no my eyes 🥺😭

@@AuralArcana YOU 🫵owo
i'm gonna have faith bc that's what you said to the others but- my heart is one breeze away from shattering in a million pieces (that means you two did an amazing job but still!!) YOU 🫵-.-
HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO WORRY KEITH?? YOU JUST TOLD ME EVERYTHING POINT TO POINT AND EXPLAINED WHY ALEX LEFT 🙁🙁 I'm a sobbing mess everywhere now
Well - you can work on it now, right? 😊
I usually don’t comment much. I like to be a lurker. With that being said, you have made me feel some things and don’t appreciate it. 😅 Good job. 😊 I hope you will keep on making audios, because you are getting better at it and I know you will do great things.
As a side note, once I get paid, I’ll probably subscribe to your Patreon.
Making listeners feel things is always the goal! And sometimes... feeling unpleasant things is good preparation for feeling other things.
And - thanks for the thought on joining Patreon. I hope it comes to pass and you feel it's worthwhile!
@@AuralArcana True, but I don’t feel like crying on a Monday afternoon. Also, I’m sure it will come to pass. I’m very picky about what audios I listen to. So, if I like you, you deserve it.
Now I can go to bed. 😊
Just make sure you tell everyone you're supposed to. 😆
My finger hurts because I needed to be here
It doesn't play faster by pressing harder...
... yeah, I was worried about how eager and enthusiastic Alex was from the start. The surprise whammy of jealousy really sucks to get hit with, and working through it can be an insurmountable challenge for some people. Polyamory isn't for everyone. 😢
That said, I'm hoping we get everyone talking to each other soon - there are a lot of unspoken assumptions that have been relied on, hashing things out and setting guidelines where necessary is gonna be crucial. And I really want this to work! Not just for the representation (although that's lovely) but because you and Ramble, dammit, have gotten me invested in these two! I kind of want to bop them both over the head so they actually describe what they *want* the ideal version of this relationship to look like, because I suspect it's not as divergent as they assume... and if everyone's on board with the destination, it's easier to weather the bumps in the road on the way. (Keith's complaints about housing prices, and Alex's thoughts about a next living space? Please tell me that's foreshadowing, Aural. Please? 🥺 )
Anyway, you two are both just knocking the delivery out of the park, even if it hurts to listen to. On tenterhooks for the next installment! 💜💜💜
Hang in there... 😌
@@AuralArcana well, the suspense will be hard to live with, but I do like suspension! 😅
Dont worry?! Lol good one. I felt alex's words hard in this. Like I actually caused worry which sucks. Especially with a significant other. I feel like they all need to sit down have another discussion because with polyamory there needs to be check-ins, a lot of communication, and time for partners to have dates together, one on one time, etc.
But when dating a friend of the boyfriend and they have this long friendship. There should probably be double the communication.
Please dont say this is the end? I want a happy ending for all of them, and for them to learn how to better communicate their feelings.
More coming soon.
Omg, I got a response. I love this series, I can tell you really put a lot into it.
Also yay I can't wait!
Oh no my stomach dropped from the intro. What do you mean Listner didn’t do the bare minimum to let Alex know they good and to not wait up?like plans change but like. You ain’t check in? Big yikes. Now I’m anxiously pausing every five seconds. I know this won’t go well I’ve heard all of 5 words and Alex’s tone.
Edit: oof the longer this went the more my heart hurt. It’s so easy for me to gush about being in a poly bc I can’t pick between two fictional characters but like. I want to be number one. So I totally get Alex. I really do. So irl I don’t think I could be in a situation like this.
Hang in there. 😌
Thats enough hurt can we have the comfort part of the hurt/comfort now? 😭
Hang in there...
With Alex❤❤
Go git 'im!
"dont worry about it too much"
YOU just said that to a chronic overthinker so YES KIETH IM GONNA WORRY ABOUT IT 😭

Me: it's okay I'm here and I'm sorry I worried you but don't worry Kieth was with me and both of you wouldn't let anything happen to me (runs over and gives him a tight hug)

Called it.
😞
@@AuralArcana I have been polyam for most of the last 17 years, almost half my life. I have been in the shoes of each of these characters at one point or another. I have felt the sorrow and guilt of "why does being myself always seem to hurt the people I love" I have known the pure joy of waking up with a loved one on either side of me looking at me like there is no place in the world they would rather be than right by my side. I have known the jealousy of feeling like I faded into the background when the new shiny relationship came along.
Me being able to guess where the story may go next means you are doing a good job of portraying a true to life story. I have been giddy with their joy and empathized with their sorrow. I have played these videos for others in my polycule, my family, and they have done the same. Don't for a moment think that what I said was in any way a negative toward you, or Ramble, or this beautiful work.
Wow, it's very nice to get that kind of validation. Thank you. 😍
And, no - the frownie was just to kind of acknowledge the direction the story went.
@@AuralArcana the bitterness of sorrow makes the taste of joy all the sweeter.
I COME HERE FOR COMFORT!!! HOW DARE U RUIN MY PERFECT POLYAM DREAMS!!!! Please please let them be happy. They need it. Deserve it.
Hehehe, hang in there...
@AuralArcana HOW???? HOW DO I CONTINUE???? Promise that things will be ok? Even if we don't get the happy ending we want, they shouldn't stop being friends because of me.
I guess I can kinda relate I’m not sure coz I am in a poly relationship and so far it has been rocky but it’s gonna be ok I hope
It takes both the right mindset and a ton of communication, yeah...
