ASMR A Map of Middle Earth (soft spoken) 

Thanks!

One of the few asmrs I don't worry if someone walks in on me watching.. and also one of the all around best.

20:33 - A little correction for you here - Saruman didn't build the tower at Isengard. It was built by the Numenorians. Saruman was granted it's use by the kings of Gondor and settled there permanently. Love your videos, you are a treasure.

The one map to rule them all. I know how much there is to unpack when just describing the map. This was impeccably done. You reduced major concepts into bite sized, easily digestible pieces. It really puts into perspective the effort you must put in to all of the rest of the videos.

As a big fan of LOTR, I was soooo happy to see this video ☺️ Thank you for this one, and for all the others, they are gems

As a huge Tolkien enthusiast let me just say how much I appreciate all the research you quite obviously did before making this video. Superbly done!

Your speaking pace is perfect. Slow, calm, soft and paired beautifully with elegant hand movements. Your knowledge of middle earth is the cherry on top. I’d love to see you examine Arrakis (Dune) and Discworld. 😊

Absolutely love the integration of all the various Tolkien books. Intermixed with other inspirational stories like Beowulf and the Finnish mythology that inspired him. Making up Middle Earth across the different ages leading up to the Third Age of this map and the LOTR adventures of his amazing characters. You did really well piecing all this together - Fantastic. To have this presented in your ASMR is highly creative and so very relaxing - Thank You ❤❤🙏🙏

Metal fan reveal! Epic. Thanks for this great video. This is one of the first long books I ever read, back when I was 10, and I was obsessed with these maps printed in the covers. Lovely to see them get your treatment.

You did an outstanding job on this video. I love Tolkien, and I hope that you might do further videos on this topic. Thanks for what you do. Hands down the most RELAXING channel on YT!

If you ever get the opportunity, there's a map of Middle-earth drawn by Tolkien with annotations from him as well as Karen Wynn Fonstad. It contains details such as plant types, scribbles of things Tolkien used for his world building, etc. This map here is beautifully made with some creative liberties. Love the video!

Is it weird that her pauses are my favorite trigger? 😂 the pacing is out of this world!

As a metalhead who loves ASMR, I am nonetheless still surprised whenever someone from the ASMR community also turns out to be a fan of metal music, especially if its more extreme metal. I think you said once that you were a big fan of Rotting Christ? Knowing only your ASMR presenter personality, I could not imagine that same voice screaming along to those vocals at a concert. I guess the general vibe of ASMR just makes it surprising, even to someone who should not find it so. By all logic, you'd think Metal and ASMR shouldn't have much common ground... except Alcest, Neige would make AMAZING ASMR if he wanted to! :D

I love that you did your research into the history of Middle Earth. It's clear that you at the very least looked some stuff up, if not actually read some the deeper lore beyond the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The part that stood out to me was actually the part when you first start talking about the Shire. When you said that "This is the where the story starts for most of us." For some reason that stuck out to me, I think because if you asked me where the story of Middle Earth starts, I probably wouldn't say in The Shire. I'd probably say with the Ainulindalë. I know that answer that probably doesn't make any sense to normal people who don't read fictional history books for fun, but it's where the story begins in my mind. In the Timeless Void with Illuvatar, then the creation of the Ainur with the Flame Imperishable, and then the creation of Eä (the universe) and Arda (the world) through the Music of the Ainur. And the Discord of Melkor. Can't forget about that part. Why I felt the need to type that all out at 1:45 in the morning? Good question. I don't need sleep. I need Lord of the Rings maps and lore, and to explain the creation of Middle Earth to people who didn't ask in a comment that started out as me just saying that I appreciated the effort put into this video. Sleep is for the weak! I need more LoTR stuff!

I’ve just found your channel and this is wonderful! I love the fact that you just simply speak and don’t distract with ridiculous clicking and hissing noises like most other ASMR folk. What’s also really nice are your descriptive skills, which means I can lay my tablet down and drift off to sleep listening to you detail the finer points. Excellent stuff, a new sub here for thee.

You won't believe how fast I clicked on this when I saw it was Middle Earth :o Love your videos so so much, keep it up :)

Not sure if it's just me, but your voice sounds even softer and your hand movements feel even smoother here than in most of your previous videos... and I love it so much, somehow you managed to generate even more tingles this way, which I didn't even think is possible 🥰 I have also realized that your channel became pretty much my only source of ASMR content in the meantime and I can't even put it into words how thankful I am for the amazing work you do here for all of us ❤

This was an incredibly relaxing video. As a fan of LOTR I was so excited to watch this and it was even better than I thought it would be. Thanks for making all these wonderful videos for us to enjoy ❤

Thank you so much for giving up your time to research and produce this for us. I absolutely love every one of your videos 🫶🙏

This was terrific! 💕I haven't read any of Tolkien's books as an adult, but when I was a kid, my mom had these big unabridged sets of both the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings as full-cast audio recordings which we listened to quite a lot. They were fantastic. They're also responsible for the fact that I would trek several hundred miles out of my way rather than ever take a shortcut through an abandoned mine, and the fact that I know wanting something so badly that I feel like I couldn't live without it is probably a really^10 bad sign and I should pay attention to it ASAP. 😂

This video is everything I ever wanted in an ASMR. Thank you so much!

Hello! I just subscribed because of this video. I love the Tolkien world, so I enjoyed this immensely, especially with your ASMR style (whispers and constant hand movements). Thanks for putting so much thought and research into your videos.

I am not a big LotR/Tolkien person but this is so well done! So well-presented, as usual, and so relaxing to watch/listen to. Your videos are also so re-watchable! I love the idea of you doing a whole series of fantasy maps, but I also love your history maps (and your language videos, and...)

The episode I was waiting for! Amazing and very relaxing to watch. You were worried that you'd get something wrong but there's only one thing I can nitpick ;) Quenya and Sindarin weren't divided geographically, like you said that one was spoken in Mirkwood and the other one in Rivendell. Instead, Quenya was an older language, used in Valinor before the elves arrived at Middle Earth, while Sindarin is a more modern language developed in the First Age in Beleriand. Sindarin is the most common and widespread elven language, while Quenya is usually used in more official or even ceremonial manner - something like Latin in our world. But other than that, you got all the information right, you can be proud of yourself :) Definitely one of my favourite videos on your channel.

Your voice is PERFECT for LotR, oh my gosh. You could have done Galadriel's voiceover and narration in the films and it would've been incredible; it really hit me when you started talking about the theme of decline in the story. Thank you so much for this!

This is awesome! There are only two people I feel could pull this off and considering you're the only one left making videos, and that maps are definitely your special area of excellence, well, this simply cannot fail.

I absolutely love your videos! Such variety of topics, always well prepared and soothing voice. My brain is so satisfied 😍

-- I recently rewatched all of the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit films. I’m really happy to see a video about this subject! 😊❤️

The map brushing is so good. Everything about this video and your channel is perfect. I can't wait to watch the german version

What a lovely video, and what an imagination Tolkien had. Really like the brushing in your videos too.

Your ASMR voice combined with a Middle Earth map takes me back to the days when I read the Lord of the Rings books and many other fantasy books and would obsessively pore over the maps. It makes me very happy 😊

Extremely hood video! To everyone who got excited from this video, please read the books instead of just watching the films. Silmarillion provides so much information and backstory, and I would even consider it to be almist as good as the LotR books.

"If you listen to the same music I do" *Singular Nod of Respect"

One does not simply trace around Mordor.

What a great video, thank you for that. I love lotr and your voice fits so well. This will be one of my go to videos when i can't sleep

I love when my favorite asmrtists create Middle Earth-related content!

I vote for more makeup brushing on maps! I know nothing about LOTR, but that part was especially tingly!

JUST what I needed! I started the Fellowship today!! I’ve read The Hobbit like 3 times, so it’s about time I move on to the main trilogy lol

Superb presentation once again. Relaxing, professionally informative, personably detailed with great care, conversationally engaging… authentic appreciation!

Excellent video! Would love to see some more fantasy lore on your channel! 😊❤

Thanks you so much . This is of my all time favorites.

Right now I am coming to the end of reading the trilogy for the second time. I was so happy when I saw this video pop up :)

Such a quality video. I’ve watched it 4 nights in a row

That "hello everyone" at the start had me thinking id clicked on one of the french whisperes videos for a second

oh wow, so easy to follow! very relaxing and interesting to listen to

Best one yet! Perfect.

I love the world of Tolkien, not sure what other maps you could explore but I find it incredibly relaxing.

Thank you very much, it was a great video about a fascinating topic!

This video is incredible!

A big big Thank-You for this wonderful video! ❤

You did a fantastic job! I'd love to see a map of Beleriand - the land that used to be beyond the blue mountains that you mentioned - but I'd understand if you'd prefer not to! You were far from wrong when you said Tolkeinian history is daunting

This is the Citizen Kane of ASMR videos. A masterpiece.

Would love to see more of these fictional map videos. Great job!

I absolutely love your videos. I learn so much and they're so relaxing. My only problem is that it takes three or four viewings to get through each video because I keep falling asleep.

This is wonderful

It was a pleasurable experience listening to you speak on an aspect from LOTR books. I am not really an avid fan and know very little about LOTR except that it was a trilogy movie some years gone. Nevertheless your voice tone, level, and pace makes whatever you speak on in your ASMR videos quite soothing to my ears and mind.

Brilliant, per usual. Thank you, Ms. 🙏

Great video! Amon amarth is a great band and so much fun live!

This was very helpful Thank you

Her voice! Wow. Honestly, it reminds me of the OM frequency so I pulled up another RU-vid video of the Ohm frequency and hers matches it quite often. Just lovely to listen to.

Hell yeah! Amon Amarth and Gorgoroth shout-outs! 🤘♥️

Great video. I have a LOTR and Hobbit tattoo and love ASMR. So this is heaven.

I was almost asleep and suddenly woke up when I realised you were talking about death and black metal bands 😂 nice surprise that you're into that music too!

Uploaded two minutes ago! perfect timing for a sleeping video 🙂

I have never opened a video faster

Indeed Tolkien first created languages, but then he understood that languages can become alive in myths. So he stared to create mythes which can tell the story of his worlds with the help of created languages. Magical imagination and a huge work done

I've only just started getting into Tolkien lore and I'm currently listening to the new audio book of the Silmarillion that voiced by Andy Serkis. I was going to ask where Beleriand is supposed to be on the map, but you answered it when you said that some of the land from the first age is under water. :)

MIDDLE EARTH!!!!!!

THIS IS TOO INTERESTING TO FALL ASLEEP TOO

Omg this is so good you should do the Westlands from The Wheel Of Time next!

Always appreciate your metal references

Omg yes!!!!!!

Ok so Game of Thrones map next!? Just loved this❤

OH THIS IS GREAT

I wonder why most maps cut the most southern part of the Bay of Belfalas where the city of Umbar is.

If you did the maps and lore of the Dragon Age video game series, or the map and lore of A Song of Ice and Fire book series, I’d probably explode. Was that Mishka in the background at the end? I could hear a little purring and whistling 😂

Speaking of metal bands that are LotR nerds, there's also Cirith Ungol, a great older band who were quite influential to many doom metal and power metal bands and some other subgenres too. They're still around making new music, and they've definitely still got it! Their 2020 comeback album might even be their best one. Really enjoyed the newest Amon Amarth album as well🤘

Tolkien also used Welsh as an inspiration for the Elvish langues, some of the words are almost 1-to-1 translations. Also some of the place names have the word 'Minas' which is almost the same as the Welsh word for city in Welsh 'Dinas'.

Yay more Melange!! And some LOTR!!

Very good video ❤

🙏

I've never clicked on a video faster

Now this is just playing dirty

Just found you...simply love your voice. And THANK YOU for having normal finger nails 🙂

Unmöglich! vielen dank! ich liebe LOTR!

Thanks. 🙂

You should think of a collab with ASMRctica. He draws the map and you explain them as a crossover collab. Im sure he have lots of various maps in his archiv. 🧐🤩

God, please, more fantasy universe maps! World of Warcraft, The Witcher, D&D - The Swords Coast, Divinity. PLZ!!!

Melangw doing LotR? What a great combination! I love the trilogy. Would you also do the Hyrule-Map from The Legend of Zelda one day? 😊

Of all the channels I could have anticipated hearing Amon Amarth.. .it is not this one. I love that band

What a great video idea! I haven't watched all your videos so excuse me if you already did, but have you ever considered combining a map video with parts of unintelligible whispers? I think that would hit the spot for me. Edit: love it that you like Gorgoroth 🖤

Great history, beatuful Voice and beatuful hands

Can you just record yourself reading the movie prologues and post those as videos? That would be enchanting

Fuck yeah!

Would you ever consider putting the audio of your videos on streaming services? I'd love to listen on tidal with my screen off since I don't pay for youtube. Distrokid is great for putting audio on all streaming services simultaneously.

GoT please!

Oh damn this Venn diagram of my interests right here 😂❤

My previous!!!

Спасибо! Прекрасный подарок на мой День Рождения!😊
