Concerning the Release of Departure

Hey everyone. I have been getting a lot of concerned comments/messages, and some very dramatic spam about Departure. I want you to know a few things: Like all of you I have been looking forward to the release of Departure Part 2. I have no intimate knowledge of the progress of THIS video but I can tell you from my own experiences that glitches, delays, hiccups, errors, etc. happen in video/audio production---and they suuuuck. I know the level of pride I feel when putting my work up, especially a project I put A LOT of time into, and knowing Ally, I suspect she feels the same. My guess is that if it were not some other likely circumstances she would have released it. Though I have no knowledge of the current status of the video, I do know that Ally has worked really hard on her project, and most definitely hasn't forgotten about her friends and viewers. We are all going to have to wait this out together---peacefully and respectfully. Lastly, if you come onto my channel and try to instigate conflict with my viewers or spam my videos, you will find yourself removed.

  1. None of this makes sense to me. What makes the least sense to me is why you are receiving threats, etc etc, over another ASMR Artists videos....

    1. Her voice was used in the trailer, so people realize she is involved with the project on at least some level and therefore assume she has been in contact with Ally to at least some degree regarding it's production and release..

  3. The comments she has gotten and now you are just stupid. You guys do this in your free time and ask for nothing in return. I hate to say it but it shows the sorry state of society and this weird entitlement people think are owed to them for doing nothing. I wouldn't blame Ally one bit if she just shut her account down and didn't put the video up at all.

    1. I totally agree, although I think what sometimes seems to be an enormous army of unreasonable people in actuality constitute only a small percentage of the population.( Although they are very active on different forums). Moreover, trolls, spammers and the like are just background noise to be disregarded, especially if you are a public figure. They prey on insecurity and try to find weak spots even if it means going so far as to delivering threats and the best remedy is to simply ignore them. For many of them I suppose it´s a desperate cry for attention. Many are just bored, extremely childish, frustrated, misogynistic or simply total jerks. Whatever the reason for their sorry behavior they are not worthy of anyones attention since they never contribute to anything positive. I just hope both Heather and Ally can feel the support of all those who truly appreciate the work they do.

  4. It's a shame that some people want to ruin what I've found to be such a supportive and amazing group of people by being nasty. It was so considerate of you to stick up for another ASMRtist, and it my opinion it shows the true spirit of our community. Love you and your videos! :)

  5. Before I found you and your videos I didn't even know what ASMR was, or that I had it. now after 20 years of insomnia and nightmares I can sleep when I hear your videos. thank you. I don't know if you will ever read this, heather, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciate all of your hard work. I know that doesn't mean much coming from a total stranger but that's what I wanted to say.
    PS I love portal and I hope they make a portal 3

  6. I would be shocked that you received a threat had this not been on the internet. People can be real asses online when their anonymous. Just goes to show there are shitty people out there. Don't let them get to you Heather. You are a good person.

  7. Getting sick of people these days. Always nsult everyone, disrespectful and rude as hell, swears like it's a language all its own, and act like douchebaggery is a sport in the Olympics that requires constant training to win the douche-a-thon.
    You ASMaRtists don't have to do a damn thing for any one of us. You all do these videos because (and if you aren't you need to address it) because you want to make them and you enjoy it. Not because you feel obligated in ANY way,
    The crappy people who are just flat out trying to insult for any petty reason should be removed. They'll never be happy, they'll always be trying to find a reason to treat others poorly because they're addicted to being jerks. People get be addicted to anger and conflict. They pretty much live for it. They are broken as a person.

  8. Wow Heather, it is really a shame that some want to instigate trouble on a very successful channel like yours. I feel the need to let you know that your videos are the best, and they do help me relax and fall asleep to. I just finished a show on WHATS ON YOUR MIND???? About Asmr and relaxation. I have mentioned you in a very positive way and hope you will get more subscribers who truly appreciate the hard work you put into all your videos.

  11. I was offline so I missed most of this but I did see some of the comments people were leaving on Allys channel. Unbelievable. I thought this community was better than that.
