ASMR eye candy for pen/ink lovers

[fiberdrunk]

I was looking at how-to videos for how to cut feather quills when I came across this guy's videos (his YouTube ID is RelaxingASMR). I'd never heard of ASMR before (had to look it up... it means "autonomous sensory meridian response"). Anyway, he makes these really soothing videos. If you suffer from insomnia or anxiety or stress, these ought to help!

This American Life did a very interesting story on ASMR. You can find it here. The segment is called "A Tribe Called Rest." Many of the ASMR videos have to do with fountain pens, which is pretty cool!

I have seen those videos and was wondering what was up with all the whispering. They made me groggy so I stopped watching them. :P
