What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

[@boopsboops7692]

SCP 1694 “Arkham” Object class: Keter Arkham is a city that pulls in people and try’s to manipulate the people inside Arkham so they don’t have any sense of worry. In witch case there will is [DATA EXPUNGED] to [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] seems to be a [DATA EXPUNGED] that wants to control all living organisms and make the world “more peaceful”. Although this is only a ruse as you have no freedom in your actions should you join it. The main source of taking people in to Arkham seems to be a man by the name of “kind napper”. D-class personal that have been taken are only taken randomly. And they do not remember how or what happened when they got kind napped. After entering Arkham, the D class are “connected” to the aria. In witch they will have a harder time leaving. They are usually told to go to the sanitarium in witch case (not unlike the SCP facility) the sanitarium will do tests with the D class. One recent experiment was with a thing in a crate. The object “thing in a crate” or SCP 1694-A is an organism suspected to be you in a crate with a cloth over its head and a lock around the neck. This organism is in the crate and with the cloth over it by the choice of the Arkham sanitarium for the reason “you would simply go insane if you looked at it.” It is advised you do not go near Arkham as there is a high chance that you will be kind napped. Arkham seems to be somewhere in Massachusetts and it seems to be unable to be contained.
