the autism and the heart problems teaming up against me is the story of my life too. so glad to have found your channel, thanks to Katie Marie's rec!

SSX TRICKY!!!! Omg I played that game SO much. My dad haaaaaaaaated it because it was just a never ending "IT'S TRICKY TO ROCK A RHYME TO ROCK A RHYME THAT'S RIGHT ON TIME iT'S TRICKAAAAYYYYY" 🤣 I love that you're getting into VHS tapes. I recently started working on slowly rebuilding my DVD collection after being an absolute noodle and doing a giant unhaul because I was streaming everything all of the time. But everything seems to be falling off of all of the streaming services as soon as I want to watch it and I'm just so over it

I love The Innocents, it's soo good. I love old black and white horror films, The Haunting (1963) is also one of my favourites.

I don't know how I stumbled upon your channel but so happy I did! New subscriber <3

The Last House on Needless Street wasn’t that great, I felt let down by it.

Great video, love Lost Boys

I only recently discovered Grady Hendriks through My best friends excorcism and now I really want to have all of his books!!!

👹 👹👹👹

loved the vibes here!!!

😈 pls say this counts as a monster LOL

Fun vlog! Those horror books look interesting!

OMG I used to have a tv/vcr combo and not kinda wish I'd kept it and all my old VHS collection - I used to have a lot of disney movies and scaries too!

Arin I lovedddd this vlog!! Also what a small yet mighty haul at the end-I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all of them!

Welcome to the BookTube World Arin!

When I was a kid, animals who talked were always an insta-read for me. Have you read the Shady Hollow series? It's a series of cozy mysteries, filled with talking animals wearing tiny little clothes.

This is the first time I've watched your channel and it's also the same week I thrifted vhs tapes too haha. Also stardew valley music? Subscribed.

I still have the VCR I got as a birthday gift at 8. I also bought 5 extras so I'll have spares, although I also got good at fixing them.

That was such a cute and fun vlog! (apart from that Ronald McDonald glass - that sh*t is terrifying!) OMG, the donated Xboxes... The TRAU-MA! It hits home so bad. A 1000 years ago, my mum asked me if she could lend (emphasis on *LEND*) my Nintendo (the original, vintage one) and Pokemon games to a colleague's kid and I stupidly said yes. When we never got them back, she denied the lending part -- she had given them away and claimed I had agreed to it! Now she will say she doesn't remember or that "of course not, I'm sure they're in a box somewhere in the attic." NO, THEY'RE NOT! I never even got the chance to try catching Mewtwo on Nintendo because of this. I still resent her to this day 😅

LOVEEEE all the gaming iconography. The first song was totally giving Spiritfarer soundtrack 😢💚 a La Summer strumming along in the garden 😂 Kermit!!!!!!!! 😍 The Last Dive looks epic - never heard of it!

This was so cozy! I loved it!!!

DUDE THE X FILES IS MY CURRENT HYPER-FIXATION SHOW!!! Also I have a silly rule about Halloween stuff, where if it’s ghost/skeleton themed, it can be out year round (because ghosts/skeletons always exist lol) but pumpkin stuff unfortunately has to wait until September. 👻👻👻 Loved the vlog, as always!! 🥰

Yay another vlog! 🎉 It was very chill and I like just spending time with you. ❤

We need more vlogs, more vlogs, more vlogs! I had so much fun watching this, and spending time with you ❤ I love the music you used in this video it was such a vibe! I would love a house tour or just showing a bit more of your space, because I love your style! I am also the type of person that will use decorations only on the holidays, it’s feels wrong to do it earlier😅 I love that you combined all the things you love, showed them, and talk about them. Not going to lie rewatching ally’s videos is so real 😢 I love your videos just for you, so I don’t mind at all if they don’t have any theme I just enjoy seeing how you spend your time ❤

I can’t believe your parents donated your Xbox without telling you

I’m glad I’m not the only one who collects all the things I loved as a child.

this looks like it was such a great weekend, i'm obsessed with your gaming and tv set up, old games just really hit different! we used to play scooby doo night of 100 frights on playstation 2 so that era of animation is really nostalgic ✨ also lilo and stitch on vhs sounds like a great time

Hiiiiiii, it’s essay time babyyyyy! Fyi - this comment is full of video spoilers so if you’re not Arin and have not watched the video stop reading 👀 Did I rewatch the beginning 3-5 times in support of your local frogs…? Maybe… I also flippin’ loved the editing with the lil subtitles ‘Ahh yes, antiques’ was my fav 😂🤪 NOT ATLANTIS!?! Now I wanna watch it so bad. I would like to file an official request for you to grow your hair out a little for October so you can be Milo for Halloween please and thank you…!? I’m so relieved that you bought that muppets glass. When you rolled the clip I was so worried that you wouldn’t buy it and regret it 😅 The Xbox journey was a wild ride and I’m so here for ittttt! 🙌🏻 Yay for ending with books and THAT OUTFIT. Absolutely killing it. What an absolute VIBE 🙌🏻 Fyi, I loved this vlog a lot and I hope you’re feeling super proud of yourself for putting it out in the world. I’m very excited for more silly fun vlogs to come!! 🐸🌻☀️📚📼🕹️🤪

The perfect, coziest vibes 😌🌿🍄⭐️ that pacman game looks sooo fun I’m super intrigued by We Used to Live Here 👀 can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

The “ah yes, antiques” and it’s just a bunch of pro-USA t-shirts is hilarious 😂

Yay another video! I'm so happy you found a vcr and a Playstation! You are one of my favorite people to watch! You always make me smile! Happy video! Have a good day!❤

Ah! I’ve never heard anyone talk about My Favorite Thing Is Monsters. I look at it every time I’m in my comic shop and always want to get it, but the price scared me since I knew nothing about it. Guess now I’ll just have to get it next time I’m there. 😏

Someone You Can Build A Nest In. It’s a cozy horror fantasy romance? The main character is a monster who eats humans and then falls in love with a human woman. Watching her try to read human social cues and pretend to be a human felt like autism representation to me. I only found your channel and subscribe today but I feel like you might like this.

👹 👻

Where’s your shirt from? 💓💓💓

I’ve been loving your channel so far - glad to see this intro video after seeing a few other videos by you!

Yay! Thanks for your recommendations, especially the movies. Yes!!! The Lost Boys is our cult favorite! ❤️❤️❤️❤️We also love “The Burbs”, Super 8, It (not the new one), Goonies, Halloween (the original), The Haunting (the original) and the original Psycho. Also Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? They grew up watching classics with me.👻❤

I know I’m late to the game (this video autoplayed and I’ve had it playing in the background), but I tuned right in when I heard you mention The Body Keeps The Score and started talking about the feelings tied to it. I just want to say, as a fellow traumatized chronic pain/illness sufferer, that there’s a lot of grief and anger that comes with unpacking the trauma and coming to terms with how it’s affected our bodies. It’s really hard and those feelings are super valid and important to recognize. I recommend taking the book very slowly, which is what I was told when the same book was recommended to me after being diagnosed.

👹

Ah I loved The Eyes are the Best Part, I hope you do too! I think you will if the premise sounds good to you.

❤❤❤

The woods all black has also been my biggest disappointment! I thought it was going to be a top book for me as well

I'm reading Thin Air by Michelle Paver right now and I'm loooving it so far! Perfect summer horror

I loved The Eyes Are the Best Part. It’s such a good “girl losing her mind” book, so you’re in for a good time I think. Well, kinda, it gets gross 😂

Oh hey honey! This video brought me so much joy. You are a lil honey bee of delight!! I love your range… reading both romance AND horror? 😂 The Woods All Black 😭😭 I DNFed it. It was so boring ugh!

Oohhh I LOVE lonely castle in the mirror that book made me BAWL my eyes out!! Full body sobs and everything. It’s one of my all time favorites 😂😅😭

This is my 2nd year doing this tag on my channel so fun. 🧋📚🍄🍓🐸

I literally just read the first Heartstopper book 2 days ago and now I'm biting my nails until my reservation for the next ones comes through at my local library... So, as a healthy coping mechanism (ahem), I just binge-watched the entire TV show in less than 2 days because I'm stuck at the bottom of my bed with covid anyway. Love your enthusiasm and joy talking about those books ^^ It'll be my first year doing the mid-year freak-out tag too (as soon as I can get out of bed and not look like a used-up mop...) and I'm so excited 😀 It's starting to pop up everywhere and I'm really enjoying watching everybody's videos

Everyyyyyoneeeee loves boys in the valley and I need to read it before the end of the year so bad. I was waiting for you to bring out the woods all black 😂 I cannot wait for you to read the eyes are the best part 👀 The cover of ready or not makes me feel happy and the premise sounds so sweet 🥹

I’m so intrigued to hear your thoughts about The Eyes. I ATE IT UP!! 🙌🏻👀 Yes yes yes!! I am so hyped for a CHRISTMAS AHB!! I preordered it so damn fast!! I am also fairly new to romance but I highly recommend ‘The Holiday Trap’ and ‘Kiss Her Once For Me’ for the holiday season!! I’m so sad for you about ‘The Woods All Black’! I had heard mixed things and was SO SCARED FOR YOU!! 😭😭 “I mean other than them being straight…” DEAD 🤣💀 I loved the editing Arin clip so much 🤣🤣 I am SO MUCH MORE intrigued by ‘Lonely Castle’… 🤔😱 I gotta prioritise that book. NO WAY WITH FINDING THAT BOOK! I am so excited for you!!!!! I’m gonna end with some Arin specific recs based on what I know about your taste and books I’ve loved this year!
