--- Va: Kevan Brighting Audio: give-soup-please.tumblr.com/p... Captions: Me --- Just The Narrator from the Stanley parable comforting you. That's just it. ---
I understand why “Stanley” is having trouble believing that he’s a good person. I mean, he DID lock himself in a broom closet in a random office building.
Narrator: W-WHAT?! How could you think that? No child, or human ever, could attempt to sound like me. My voice is unique, just like how GLaDOS's voice is unique.
@@hey.its_Niry Hello again. :) Whenever I see a Stanley Parable video of interest, my Narrator roleplay senses tingle like Spider Man's Spidey Senses, and I immediately comment on the video as Narrator. :) .............Yeah, that sounded a bit weird LOL
@@disneyfan0639 I think your cool! Also I have a theory that the narrator is a real person. If you played the Ultra Deluxe addition of The Stanley Parable then with all of the narration tapes and other evidence do you agree?
A sassy disembodied voice telling me I am loved fills me with so much joy :) Him stuttering and moving on when he gets asked who cares about us is so cute, especially since the answer is obvious
I'll admit this is a higher dosage of endorphins than those usual comfort videos. There are some videos that rival this one that exist to an extent. Though this is 100% quality goods. 11/10 if not a 20/10
Maybe it’s because we all know this voice and have memories that make it more meaningful. Or maybe it's because it feels kinda like a dad figure saying this...
i had that thought in the back of my head before i clicked on this "i wonder if this is actually kevan" and i was right lol. its so cool that hes so involved with fan projects like this. thats something quite rare.
I'm certain the people outside his office building would love Stanley's simple but decisive personality if there was something outside his office building.
I've been having such a bad day today, then I was thinking this was gonna be something really cringe, but now I'm just smiling with watering eyes :') Edit: I just got to the part where he said "Why do I care?" I literally said "You don't." then he said "I don't." and I swear to you, I just laughed so hard xD
I am crying. I have been through so fucking much, i am just so tired i think i really needed this. I am going to claw my way out of the dark path if thats what it takes. Im gonna be fucking okay, whoevers reading this, i promise it to you.
You ARE loved. How do I know? (Narrator thinks: Because I love you) Um…let’s move on. The Narrator is a sweetheart, it’s adorable how hard he tries to deny it 😂
I FINNALLY saved up my money from babysitting yesterday to buy tsp and it was worth it, i just got broken up with and yhe first thing i did was go to the broom closet to hear narrators lovely voice say: "Stanley was fat and ugly and really stupid" ❤
"If THIS makes you happy, then, I suppose I will just leave you with your own thoughts in this *mAjEsTiC* room." Then, The Narrator goes silent until we leave the broom closet
He doesn't just comfort you like so many other comfort posts do, he also gives you the advice that deciding to be happy and believe that you deserve it is the most important part and I love that so much
@@lucynorris2255 They don't really count as defined personalities. (Stanley may be important but he doesn't have a personality, because that's for the player to decide.)
I’ve been listening to this on loop and fucking sobbing like a little baby. Honestly man, I’m just in a really dark place rn. Maybe it’s cause I’m exhausted and sick and have bottled this stuff up for so long, but I can’t help it and for some reason I remembered seeing this once in passing and found it again. I really, really needed this. Thank you.
Wow. The actual narrator. I didn’t know how much I needed this. I’ve been struggling for a good while. Things have been bleak lately in a lot of things and while I don’t think others don’t care for me, it feels good being reminded they do. I’m not a burden and while the brighter path is difficult I’m happy to be reminded that when I walk it there’s always at least one person in my life who will be proud of me.
This really helps me, and the last few sentences have real meaning to me. When i get depressed, i stay in my dark room and just get more and more sad. But is can also try and go upstairs to my family who love me, and are willing to spend time with me so i can feel better. Problem is, my legs don't really work properly and often really hurt whenever I try to walk. Especially when I'm going up the stairs. ( sorry if this is a bit of a rant, i just realized the similarities and thought it my help some people.)
It took me so long to actually listen to this because some part of my brain was rejecting it like. “It’s a commission, they don’t mean it” So I just yelled at myself “Shut the fuck up and suspend your disbelief for a sec”
I keep returning here, the same way I kept returning to the original Tumblr post. On a bad day, it helps me cry it all out, on a good one, it soothes and warms my heart. Kevan was amazing for agreeing to this commission, and so was the requestor for coming up with the idea. Thank you.
I’ve been listening to this every night just to feel a bit better. Even though this person isn’t comforting me for long, at least someone actually is comforting me…
Man, I wish I could also be trapped in an infinite never ending story loop as an immortal never aging character with no method of escape other than waiting until everyone I know is dead and the building I am trapped within crumbles into dust.
"Two paths diverged in a yellow wood; sound familiar?" For someone that has read and listened to that poem for half my life, it sent a light shiver down my spine hearing him refer to it.
I don't know if anyone else thought about this yet, but this reminded me of the narrator that would always talk in the little big planet intros/tutorials. That makes this feel a lot more nostalgic than it actually should be.
made me wanna cry, i love the narrator. he's also the voice in my brain ive suddenly fit him in my head. and it makes me smile edit: fell asleep to him talking in my head just rambling until i snored.
"You have a choice of two paths diverged in a yellow wood, one path leads down to darkness apathy, anger, hatred for self and others. The other is different, much harder to walk but is IS much better for you. These are the choices we make everyday and every time you walk the better path, Difficult though it may be, someone somewhere is proud of you. I know I am." -narrator
NO HELP I HAD THIS IN A PLAYLIST BUT IN THAT PLAYLIST RIGHT UNDER THIS VIDEO WAS NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP I JUST RICKROLLED MYSELF AND NOW IM CRYING HARDER HELP
I clicked here thinking this would be audio from the game of the narrator half heartedly saying “it’s ok… now let’s get back to the game” or something similar. Instead I get such sweet and wholesome audio (though with reluctance on the narrator’s part to admit it) of comfort and love that made my heart melt… 🥹😭 This was amazing. Thank you!
i've never even played the stanley parable, but this sound clip has done more for my current shitty mental state than any counseling has. i am not crying. no im not you are.
A lot of times when I cry I feel worse afterwords, because I feel silly for having such intense emotions. But, the way this video made me cry was strangely therapeutic. When he said "someone somewhere is proud of you", it was the most affirming thing I've heard in a long time.
This is better then all of these " *insert something like gf or bf* comforts you" ever combined. And I think its bc the voice that encouraged you to jump down on the florr of the cargo room, tells you a lot of heart warming things that ypu needed to hear and it just :3
Seriously this came to me exactly when I needed it , the Narrator recently has become a comfort character of mine and I really needed comfort so needless to say, I'm feeling better
I Love how narrator is trying so hard not to say "i love you" or "i care about you" i find it oddly cute

@@disneyfan0639 ah, alright. Thank you for the correction. Still miss LBP though
This is… surprisingly comforting… I never thought the narrator from the Stanley Parable could make such an impact… Damn…
What’s funny is that he took all the things I always think and he actually responded. I didn’t know that my exact thoughts could be read like that.
Kevan Brighting’s voice is so calming
My headphones just broke so it sounds like is saying "naynay brrr cane's shrimp" over and over
narrator avoids telling you that he cares about you for 2 and a half minutes and ends up failing at the end. fantastic video thank you for sharing
-totally not crying right now-

"I know I am" at the end, so sweet 😭
