Miniature House- asmr/ relaxation

[@SilentCitadel]

Oh miniatures are so great. The ones I have are more aimed at grown ups- but I had some like this when I was a kid too- My grandma was a carpenter and we built a dollhouse from the foundation up together- roof shingles, installing the little door- laying miniature carpet- it was a great experience and I was so proud of the result.

[@Anna-loves-you]

Oh my gosh, ASMR and miniatures combined in one video, this is so AWESOME!!!!!

[@SilentCitadel]

+Sunny Shores :D Have you watched rrcherrypie?

[@SilentCitadel]

I really want to lug up my giant dollhouse from the basement but it's SO HEAVY. Maybe sometimeif I can drag it up I'll do one of setting up the whole house!!! Thank you Kell- you are, as always- an absolute delight to hear from

[@SilentCitadel]

I have been making videos for almost a year now (& watching for 1 1/2 or so), which is pretty cool- I'm so happy that the community has grown SO much in that time. I love that we can find things that are so specific. That there are multiple people making 'quiet activities with miniatures' videos is just mind boggling- and awesome.

[@Karenmizoscardog]

mmmmmm.....tiny persian rugs! This is an instant fav! I can only imagine the treasures contained in your basement...thank you for finding the minis! They are wonderful! And you should totally make shirts that say good evening youtube!

[@66StevieT]

Never in a million years would a have expected this to trigger asmr. How wrong was I?! Tingling from head to foot! Wonderful, thank you.

[@claytonica23]

I love your collection! Super relaxing AND super interesting. That little bowl of soup is so freakin' cute.

[@daphsanti7782]

I love the dining set, it's different than most I've seen.

[@SilentCitadel]

Me too! My basement is such a vortex I was sure I'd never find them, but badabing! I just stood there staring at all the boxes and then just all of a sudden *knew* where to find them.

[@DarlyFofa]

This reminds me of my grandmother's house. I love your miniatures. They are very realistic and cute.

[@SilentCitadel]

***** :D thanks! My grandma actually made miniatures, that's what got me started on them in the first place.

[@RhinoAts51]

Looks like some pretty good craftsmanship on that stuff, that's cool.

[@smurfkick24]

How cool! I love that there's even a mini beaded curtain :)

[@Sjudit84]

I love these miniatures, so happy you have found them

[@hushhhsusie]

This makes me want to get my doll house of the shed, and play! Love it, very relaxing... subbied!!!

[@SilentCitadel]

The dollhouse itself is pretty cool too- it was jsut too damned heavy to lug up from the basement- but when it's all set up I love to imagine myself tiny enough to sit on the couch and read that old harpers.

[@bcastro1113]

This is so cool! You have a WONDERFUL collection!

[@kdizzledoo]

this gave me a very acute feeling of childhood. it was wonderful. also, you said i'm such a ninny, which is adorable.

[@SilentCitadel]

god I love miniature food! I can't say why, but it's neverendingly delightful

[@Austin76711]

I missed these video's. I am on a vacation and sometimes I dont get internet and it take's me for ever to fall asleep.

[@WWCatherine]

This is adorable! I collect 1:4 Bespaq, so seeing youarrange these even smaller sale pieces was delightful.

[@SilentCitadel]

Diane Arbus is awesome. She totally deserves to have a weird little book made out of her weird photos. lol- THANK YOU

[@SilentCitadel]

I have some of it- it's so bloody cool. the re-ment stuff has astonishing detail, though it tends to be a little larger-scale than most miniatures. But anyway- OMG, you should it's so fun!

[@SicilianSirenASMR]

Omg.. are you kidding?!?! Them miniatures are amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jiffypop1989]

I totally had a set like this when I was little. I always used them for my 'barbie house' under the dining room table.

[@SextonHardcastle85]

This miniature set is awesome. I have to get my daughter my some! Great video and its great to have you back! Hope all is well and can't wait for more!

[@youparejo]

Esmeralda, I love ALL your videos, that's incredible. Even if I have a list of my favourite whisperer, there's always some that I don't like at all or I so boring that I can't even start to watch them. But YOURS have this little amazing and, once again, magical ! I know I'm repeating myself but I LOVE your universe, I LOVE your creating. It's such an honour for me to witness creations --> I love you ;D

[@SilentCitadel]

They are cute- but also *fascinating*!!!

[@youparejo]

you always take us in another world, your channel is magical, like a fairy powder on youtube...

[@hurtadocp]

I hope you return to making videos again. Miss you

[@SilentCitadel]

I miss my legos, personally- but yeah- now that i have a toddler I have an excuse to play with toys all over, and I love it.

[@Indrid__Cold]

You are a collector for sure. I am as well, but also struggle with space constraints. I have a video of some unique objects you might find interesting. Not nearly as polished as the production of your video's, but you were definitely the inspiration that got me to finally do one.

[@claytonica23]

Ha! How 'bout that! I love them. I seriously want to start collecting that stuff now, it's so neat.

[@KenLeonhardt]

Amazing! How much detail work! The little photography book made it for me! I'm also really really happy to hear you're doing better, Esmeralda. Great job as in all of your videos! Your family should be really proud of you! :)

[@PascalRascal]

Oh this is absolutely lovely.

[@Gothickwhispers]

it looks so cosy and inviting :) I wanna live there! :)

[@AspenAren]

Each of those miniture bits of furniture are very impressive and very realistic, have you got a whole house like with walls? that furniture would look great in a minuture mansion ;)

[@SilentCitadel]

That was so fun to make! You wouldn't believe some of the crazy miniatures I've seen online. Tiny hookahs, tiny satanic altars (srsly!), tiny lingere, etc etc. It's nuts

[@SilentCitadel]

Haha, you are so welcome my un-nephew. Your house is 112?!?!? Man- the pacific nw is full of awesome old houses. It's one of the reasons I bouth the place- I refused to buy anything newer than 1940- because that's really the time houses started looking all cookie cutter. I have this crazy unique door in the floor in my laundry room that's completely unique- I'll have to share it sometime.

[@SilentCitadel]

Me too! I'm glad it wasn't too distracting

[@SilentCitadel]

Yes it is!!! I totally got it at Value Village, lol. They are actually mass produced- it wasn't used. I got it around halloween- b/c they give great deals on cheapass costume stuff- lights, makeup, etc. They had some stuff in a "steampunk" line- and this was one of em. It was 1.99, no kidding. check you local V.V. this year, maybe you can find one!

[@xblackrousex]

great video esmeralda! i absolutely love miniatures, i think they're so cute :)

[@Taraka1]

Those are awesome! Though I'd probably, honestly, use them as set peices in a stop motion, probably the hellboy one I'm trying to work out.

[@SilentCitadel]

There was a huge problem with my mic in the mini murder scene video, but the piece itself is one I'm really proud of. It got shown at an art gallery and everything. Thanks for subbing!! I've got oodles of weird videos. They're all defintely unique. Some are less triggery and more just interesting or whatever- I've focused less on trying to produce asmr and more on trying to be interesting and a little different, since there are SO many great pure asmr channels already

[@SilentCitadel]

Thanks m'dear! Things are definitely chilling out a little- I appreciate the sentiment

[@freshlimejuice]

Can't wait to listen to this after work

[@SilentCitadel]

Hope it makes your evening just that much more chill

[@SilentCitadel]

I'm always shocked by the fact that they have such neet stuff. A lot of it's the cheap mass produced stuff- but you'd be surprised by how good some of it looks if you balance it out. I go there every year and rifle through the trash- and always surprise myself with how many treasures I emerge with.

[@rabidiceweasel]

I'll definitely be making a trip in October!

[@SilentCitadel]

I love tiny things!

[@SilentCitadel]

Oh boy! Bodily functions! What will they think of next?

[@SilentCitadel]

I agree- I think there's an evolutionary componant to it- some part of our ape brain that gives us an extra jolt of happyjuice when we're calm, safe, quiet, and not alone. All the more incentive to live in a community and contribute to wellbeing of those besides yourself. I suspect we all have it to some degree- though some people resist or have not been able to tap in to it yet.

[@SilentCitadel]

And I LOVE yours too, so isn't that convenient??? I started out very specific too! I was ALL about tapping at first- I didn't like whispering at all- it seemd a little vain and egocentric (sounds so harsh now) but then I found Maria and changed my tune almost immediately- I finally "got" it. I pretty much like all of it now- I'm less fond of some sorts- but it's all super relaxing. I think part of it might be getting over the "weirdness" factor.

[@SilentCitadel]

It's funny- I'm a pretty unusual person myself (obvs- I live in Portland, need I say more?) but even I was made uncomfortable at first by some of the role play type videos- I recall being toally freaked out by visualsounds1's first makeup video (which was sort of the catalyst for all the others I think) at first- then feeling a weird pull to come back and watch it again, and again- the repetition got me over the strangeness, and I grew to love them.

[@SilentCitadel]

I love that style

[@SilentCitadel]

Ah, Ken- darling thank you. Giant hugs!

[@kell909]

Love, love, love this vid! It is definitely one of my faves of yours! You are truly magical, dear lady, in how you have us mesmorized so easily. I had to get up to do something important in the middle of this vid, and I could hardly tear myself away! I love miniatures. Do you have enough left over to do a second video of them? I send you speedy healing, and I hope your family emergency is all resolved now

[@SilentCitadel]

rrcherrypie was my gateway drug into the asmr community. :)

[@SilentCitadel]

I'm glad you've found a receptive audience in your friends and family, though I'm sorry they're poor sleepers. My isomorphic symbiote (male counterpart) thinks it's bizarre, though is supportive, my best friend Paris totally gets it (she did a video with me) but is not in the habit of spending time online or doing anything other than buzzing with nervous energy (they'd be great for her, but she resists!) and I don't have anyone else to tell really, lol

[@SilentCitadel]

As soon as we can get the shrink ray working!

[@Ferryville91]

you're amazing :) and sweet when you speak

[@SilentCitadel]

Awwww, thank you- yeah, still not 100% but definitely getting there

[@AwsumCherry]

Yes!! You found your toolbox!!

[@claytonica23]

Yes it is!!! Have you watched any of the Re-Ment demonstration videos? They are so awesome and unintentionally ASMRish. RRcherrypie and Madminiatures are my two favorite channels.

[@SilentCitadel]

Value village has great costume jewelry around Haloween. 2 bucks!

[@bluespiders71]

I like creaky old floors. :-)

[@joseliness]

is this a continuation of maude's appartment?? always love your videos, is like they always have a story behind, which adds an extra meaning to it and for me some extra relaxation

[@rabidiceweasel]

Where'd you get that neat little bullet ring?

[@SilentCitadel]

rrcherrypie's mini vids were my first asmr videos.

[@SilentCitadel]

Ebay, I've been framed (indie art store), Collage (another indie art store), and Michaels... occasionally Art Media, or the grocery store too- lol.

[@nayeliobispo216]

i love lil hose things or toys well anything small and tiny that for houses are my thing i evan remember wene i was small i used to bie lil house stuff for my dolls :P

[@SilentCitadel]

hahah! Awesome! I love it!

[@Johnathan.F]

I've been waiting for this !!! Thank you auntie !!!:D so relaxing ._. And my house is 112 :)

[@SilentCitadel]

It was night, but that's not why I was whispering ;) Google the term "asmr"

[@APFC95]

i missed your voice so much... im glad you are feeling better. ;)

[@WSBNation]

That ring on your thumb is so cool, they're bullets right?

[@SilentCitadel]

I'm going to look that up asap. I'm very curious.

[@SilentCitadel]

Your comments always make me smile. Or is it your username?

[@SilentCitadel]

Yeah- it is now. My baby had to have a brain-scan, but all is well :) Thanks!

[@SilentCitadel]

I love it when people mark really nice comments as spam (sarcasm) Thank you dear

[@Sarrianna1001]

I hope everything is okay with you and your family

[@jennynrey]

I love this miniature, I will like to know how can i get some more? .and if you grandma make then how can i get it from her ?

[@SilentCitadel]

LOL- omg you're right!

[@SilentCitadel]

:D I should get t shirts made, lol

[@SilentCitadel]

Oh, and I'm THRILLED you like my art. I'm so excited right now because six of my tarot cards are going up in a gallery next month for their Haloween Tarot show, and after that, all of them are going up in a different gallery. I know I would never have persued any publicity for them if I hadn't had a youtube channel- it's been an incredible experience. (egotistical rambling, sorry- I'm just giddy and oversharing)

[@SilentCitadel]

I love rrcherrypie- s/he was my inspiration to do these two mini vids- but his/hers are MUCH better

[@krizzi3998]

Please come backkkkkk 😭😭😭😭

[@SilentCitadel]

In my basement- treasures- yes- but also lots and lots of junk, lol

[@SilentCitadel]

hahah, Quan Yin is so neurotic, it used to bug me, but now I just think it's hillarious. OCD cat.

[@micamicmamicala]

was it night there cause you were like whispering.

[@kenroy916]

Am I the only one who is reminded of The Joker every time she says tonight?? That scene in Batman where he goes "We are tonight's entertainment!".... sorry I just had to put it out there

[@Aliadoris]

...I really, really, REALLY just want to shrink right now and live there. So, going to buy a vintage miniature "Doll" house to put all of those? Or perhaps, going to build one yourself? Or, I don't know, leave them in a box.

[@starlight381a]

...when i'm stressed, i play with my Star Wars figures for a while...(even when i'm not stressed) :)

[@SilentCitadel]

I use all kinds of absurdly outmoded language. It's my mom's fault- she used to say that stuff and it just rubbed off on me- plus I was never cool enough to pick up the hip jive talk of my peers. :)

[@SilentCitadel]

I know, right?!?!?

[@summervas]

Missed you :)

[@OckGal]

Oops! 3d SIMS not sins.

[@Jamescreaney]

Good evening, youtube, this is SilentCitadel. You should copyright that sentence.

[@328Fairy]

I want to shrink and move in too

[@SilentCitadel]

umm, you're welcome?

[@SilentCitadel]

oh, right- and THANK YOU- you're awesome. I love your videos and it's nice that you actually came over and checked out mine ;)
