Eventually, as the weeks turned to months, and the months to years, I found myself creating more and more characters, building upon the stories I’ve already told, and eventually ended up with my own little universe full of eccentric, reoccurring characters who primarily live within a place called Arkham Sanitarium. That realization would not happen until years later.īut as I continued to experiment more and more with ASMR, binaural audio, and video production, I began to create some very basic characters and equally basic stories. However, during this time, I wasn’t aware that I was in the early stages of creating my own fictional universe. In 2013 is when the seeds of the ERU finally began to bear fruit, with the one video that pretty much kickstarted the ERU, unbeknownst to me: But in 2012, as I began to slowly gain a firmer foothold on video production, and as I began to get more comfortable and experiment more, the tiny seeds of the very early beginnings of the ERU began to take root in my brain. I never even knew anything about creating videos and editing them. I stumbled into creating the ERU just as I stumbled into almost everything in my life: jobs, family, low ceilings, walls, YouTube, even ASMR videos. I originally went with “Rift World” and “Riftverse”, but ERU just seems better. Oh, and btw: the name ERU was suggested by some of my viewers/subscribers. Therefore, I thought it would be best to try and put most of the important parts of the lore and the universe to writing here, until/if a book/manga/comic/anime/video game/streaming series/movie/play is ever made. Also: I’m not a writer and more of an improv artist.įortunately, most of my videos are not scripted nor story-heavy, and the first ten minutes usually sets the premise and is frontloaded with any pertinent story or lore, with bits and pieces scattered through the rest of the video. I know it’s not the most ideal way to tell a story, but its just how things happened and unfurled.

However, because most of the videos are whisper-quiet, long-form, and intended to help people experience ASMR, relaxation and sleep, rather than trying to grab peoples’ attention every 5 seconds, one can easily doze off 10 minutes into a video and miss pieces of the lore or information about certain characters. It’s no different than, say… Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Unlike most universes that exist in literary form, the lore of the ERU is scattered among the many videos on my channel. You can browse all the videos in the ERU playlist on my channel here: The ERU consists of a wide variety of videos, such as one-on-one ASMR sessions with a Plague Doctor, membership applications with the Tin Foil Hat Society, secret meetings with post-apocalyptic merchant clones in dark voids, and so much more… Who knows, with the way quantum physics works, maybe this is all reality in another universe… Well, a fictional universe in this actual universe, at least. The Ephemeral Rift Universe, aka ERU, is the name for the fictional universe and its lore that spans across numerous videos on my YouTube channel dating back to 2012, when the seeds were just beginning to sprout.
