As I was listening to this, I kept thinking about a specific line from the movie, He’s Just Not That Into You: “That boy is doing those terrible things because he’s got a crush on you.” Terrible things indeed. I won’t lie and say that the speaker was likable in the beginning - he really wasn’t. He was callous and arrogant - the perfect example of a class bully who cuts down those around them as a defense mechanism because they can’t unpack their own baggage and effectively communicate how they’re actually feeling. Your portrayal of him was great, though. You fully convinced me that he wasn’t worth a second of the listener’s time… until the words, “Don’t look at me like that. It hurts” were said. The way your voice went softer with those words, and the ones following it, made my heart skip a beat. The transition from the derisive jerk to a pleading, lovesick person was amazing! I honestly wasn’t planning on liking this guy, but you made him slightly more redeemable by the way you portrayed him near the latter part of the audio. The confession got to me, I have to say. As I’ve mentioned before, you can make even the most frustrating of characters engaging and likable. While I certainly couldn’t excuse the speaker’s behavior in the beginning, I would hope that moving forward, he would treat the listener with much more respect and care, especially if they were to begin a relationship.
when he said, "Going to get Pikachu to attack me?" I stopped a bit from fear, since I was looking at pokemon sketch references from the anime online. XD
I recently discovered OhCleo, and I think it would be a perfect fit for your channel. They have a variety of audio related content that could add a new dimension to your content.😊 Much love ❤
Am I the only one who was still pissed at the end, like “oh, we can have lunch in secret.” B****, I will NOT be anyone’s dirty little secret, who the hell do you think you are?
him: Okay fine! i like you! me: shouldn't've been a piece of shit to me i guess~ him: yeah, why would you ever give the person who picked on you relentlessly the time of day? me: .......it's cuz you're hot. :/
him: *actually being nice* me: don't forget that this forgiveness is a gift undeserved. I forgive, but i don't forget. If you don't start being better, i'll break your heart. Got that, dick?
him: I know a place in school where we could have lunch together in secret me: hmmm, i'd honestly rather it Not be in secret. You don't have the luxury of forgetting how awful you've been to me. Not even with this forgiveness. I'm not *that* nice. If we have lunch together, i'm not letting you hide it. You're either all in or all out. You don't get to keep your reputation spotless if you want me. I'm not letting you half-ass it. If you want my forgiveness, you have to be okay with everything that comes with it. him: ...okay. whatever you want, i owe it to you. me: yeah you do, pretty boy. I don't want to be at this party. But i'll give you a chance.
i would love a second part where the listener doesn't let him hide behind his reputation. Doesn't let him go back to picking on them. And he's forced to choose between committing to being a better person or losing the second chance they're giving him
Bro I feel like I'm going insane cuz I keep hearing these pauses in the ambiance background silence that last like, a second. It's distracting me sm. Can someone lmk if it's just me bc I'm genuinely confused.
