I keep secret candy stashes for when I am stressed, angry, sad, or just need a little pick me up. Cuddles and/or coloring also works as a pick me up, at least for me.
just want to say that as someone who is trying to be an actor, you have incredible talent and versatility when it comes to these characters that you inhabit. it’s always believable, as if you were always that character and i only imagined them being played as someone else. you are an incredible actor
I use asmr videos kind of as a way to self teach myself how to voice act since I'm going to be doing voices for 11 individual characters in a stopmotion series......
I love how you cover serious topics such as self harm through ASMR. Not everybody has the hability and empathy to do so, and even if you claim your videos can't be considered as therapy, you have no idea about how many people you help through them 💙💙
I mean, definitely better than a certain someone saying it was a metaphor for AIDS and then outing, isolating, and eventually killing the werewolf character while showing the only other one we see with his same condition as unhinged, sadistic, and a murderer/ metaphoric r*pist *intense eyeroll*
@@RavenSutcliffe I want to offer an alternative view to this- by showing what Remus went through I think further illustrates the point that people with AIDS genuinely did go through some of the stuff Remus did, people got fired and ostracised for having AIDS. Also while I can understand your point about killing him off (I was genuinely really sad when I realised he died, I was really hoping to see him helping and being proud of Harry and his son down the line) I feel it was more for plot purposes rather than with the intention of killing him off because they didn’t want a character as a metaphor for AIDS any longer. That and in the conclusion of the battle he’s recognised as the great goddamn wizard he is and I believe help to start breaking down the stigma around werewolves. Will say though that I agree with you that the metaphor of mental health makes alot more sense than a metaphor for AIDS. One thing I would like to say though about metaphors which is pretty ironic - I found Remus personally a really good metaphor for trans identity which gave me a giggle when I realised (at least in the sense of the stigma and ostracisation).
@@anime_art_gacha_and_more2031 He isn't the only one. Fenrir Grayback, the one who bit Remus, was alive at least up until the Battle of Hogwarts, and he's known for attacking/biting/eating humans even when not in a full moon, so. Far more likely. That, or Remus forgot to take the Wolfsbane again
Brilliant how you keep everything safe by dealing with the “lycanthropy” while actually diving into the depths of mental health. You never cease to amaze me
You have an incredible compassion for those you haven't even met. I notice this in each of your motivational videos. Something inside you yearns to help others. I hope someone is there over by you giving you back all the compassion you give to others.
Was going to comment and say pretty much the same thing! That's what so many of us are picking up on in much of his content. Jim's intent and motivation behind his channel, combined with his unique presence and demeanor and skill for the craft, puts it in the top tier. I've been trying to articulate for weeks why Jim's content has impacted me so much. Happy to see some more serious comments like this--Jim deserves it!
The way Jim used the werewolf as a metaphor for I think depression and SH is incredible. This truly made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this. It’s a powerful video.
This is such a creative and gentle way of addressing the topic of self harm. I haven't seen this topic addressed by other ASMRtists. I applaud you Jim for going there. You are a beautiful soul.
I love this. The scene with Lupin comforting Harry after the dementor attack was amazing. It always inspired me, in terms of fear, depression, anxiety, and definitely in terms of affliction and mental illness. Self-harm is also something that I associate with this, as you very well explained. Thanks for the lovely dose of chocolate and calmness. 💜
Wow, just wow. You have completely embodied Lupin! There is such strength and tenderness in this portrayal. It is so soothing, and moving at the same time. 🥰🥰🥰
I ... love you. It's my favorite Marauder. Also, "sometimes we can't see the ones we love, shrouded in the pain," was just poetic af and *chef's kiss*.
Remus Lupin has always been my favorite “older” (I feel silly calling a man who died in his 30s older 🙄) Harry Potter character and I really think you did a beautiful job of bringing him to life for this. His gentle but straight forward nature is so wonderful. Thank you Jim!
You could have been talking to someone with depression or a myriad number of other things and given the same, wonderful advice, and the way you sneak in the deep breathing as a part of the script is just over the top. This video has me completely enthralled.
I’ve had a huge crush on David Thewlis for about 10 years, especially in his portrayal of Professor Lupin (wolves are my favorite animal) and needless to say I enjoyed this very much, haha! Also, you’re a really great actor :)
If you channel existed when I was a teenager I should not have the scars on my hands. Perhaps it's the first time in my life I can at least imagine that I have a friend who really understands what that holistic disorder in my senses and feelings is made of and how I survive within that mess and distraction. I told you once. You might be saving somebody's life right now. Thank you, Jim. Keep being. Take care.
Same here! I would not have scars on my body! I needed someone like you Jim when I was younger when I felt like I had no one in my corner! Now I have this wonderful video to watch and listen to when I want to self harm! Again, thank you!!

Liv4love-22 :D I managed to freaking hurt my self by tripping on a case of water bottles I always fall down the stairs and I keep finding ways to trip and fall on my face 😂😂😂
DUDE ARE YOU EVEN REAL?!?!??! Like... I'm shook because, I was just re-watching your Severus Snape roleplay-impersonation, and I was low-key inwardly screaming HOW CAN HE MAKE HIS VOICE SOUND SO ALIKE TO THE ORIGINAL and now bam, a Remus Lupin? And I'm asking myself the same questions?? I feel bad calling your videos a roleplay or an impersonation, even, because it looks, sounds, feels like you're literally inhabiting those characters. Just wow, man. I've been on this channel for a while, but you do stun me every time. That's not fair, but I'm totally in for more 😄 Amazingly well done. Thank you for your hard work.
So wolfsbane = Midol?? Jokes aside, there is so much truth in how important it is to find someone to talk to if suffering from any kind of self destructive thoughts or behaviors. I would want anyone to know that talking to someone is not a burden. I used to keep everything inside for fear of burdening others with my demons...but I want anyone bothering to read this to know you are NOT a burden. Ever! I have so much compassion and empathy for anyone in this position. I know. I understand. I’ve been in recovery for anorexia for two years and those thoughts never fully vanish, and it’s nearly impossible to face alone. I know that sometimes these kinds of sentiments can fall on deaf ears (I was there), but finding support is so invaluable and lifesaving. Please know that even if may be a stranger, to anyone suffering, I want to say that you matter! Your feelings are valid. You have value. I love you. I love you. I love you.
I have had the same experience. For years I suffered from anorexia and self harm but have managed to overcome them finally. To anyone who is reading this and may be experiencing the same thing, I know it is a little cliché but I promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and there is a way out. You are not invisible. There are thousands of us, people you know or even strangers who would give everything to help you. But more importantly, there is a future version of yourself looking back at this moment and wishing they could tell you how much better things will be. Trust me. I was in hospital on this day two years ago. I wish I could tell that person who had given up entirely how much better things would get. So, if at all possible, I would like to be that person for anyone who is reading this and has struggled with the same issues. Please hang in there, seek out help, and cling on to your hope. ❤️
Magnus Bane Much love and virtual hugs, my friend. It took me quite some time to talk about my experience, but as a teacher of teenagers, I realized that I’m in a position to help a lot of kids struggling with similar issues, but I had to be willing to share about it...in the end, it’s healing for me, too.
You know you're an addict when it's not even sleep time and you drop everything to watch a vid just because you got the notification ;) No worries - I was in Skyrim before this - time to go behead me some Glenmoril Witches and head to Ysgramor's Tomb! I'll be fine! ;)
So not much change from what I'm already like once a month, then. Your empathy and genuine desire to ease the suffering of others is apparent in your work in general. But I feel this video illustrates that you're willing to really step into the darkness to do it. You have my utmost respect. And you are also not alone.
I just want to say that the acting in this is absolutely amazing. I literally felt like I was actually talking to Remus Lupin, and seeing him trying to calm me down is really helpful especially considering he’s my favourite character. Also as someone who has depression and has gone through some really dark moments in my life, this video really made me feel better and comfortable. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
You have just the perfect aura for ASMR, and your voice is probably the most comforting out of all the artists I've listened to... and, uhh I was wondering if you would ever do a video about treating someone for self harm wounds, or something along the lines of that (maybe medical, maybe not). I know it's ~heavy stuff~ but since you're into unusual things I thought I'd just put it out there :) (sorry if it's triggering for anyone)
I would - but I would want it to be as tasteful and caring as possible. It's touched upon in this video - but I will happily make a full one at some point.
With thoughtfulness it could definitely be tastefully done. What could be triggering for some, might actually be helpful for most. It could be very powerful. Amazing how even words from a stranger can be healing. It was a sports medicine doctor I was referred to for a completely unrelated knee injury that saved my life. I'll never forget the words he said to me.
Jimち ASMR Or maybe just more videos with Lupin helping out this mysterious character with some scrapes they've run into, this is a good medium for that content.
When I was younger I had a huge crush on Fred and George... Now I'm older...I now have crushes on Remus and Sirius... Also I just wanna say as someone who has dealt with self-harm for a while this was honestly very comforting...it helped me stop 6 months ago and it helps me with any urges I get so thank you very much❤❤
There's so much genuine compassion throughout this video. You did an amazing job addressing this in a comfortable, unique, and professional way. As a student of psychology, I really appreciate the way you did everything in this.
God, treating lycanthropy as an analogy for mental illness is so much more kind, tactful and nuanced than Rowling’s actual pisspoor grasp at an HIV/AIDS comparison. Thanks Jim.
This is the first time I've ever encountered anyone who had that opinion. Was that the intention of the werewolves or just your understanding of her writing?
I've never requested anything before but you're so good at these I'm DYING to see you make a Westley from The Princess Bride ASMR, you'd be so good lol
10:26 I feel that in my soul!! I love how you touched upon self harm! And what you said in that chunk of this video is so true! You captured self harm perfectly! This means so much to me, you have no idea! Very rarely do people capture self harm the way you did! You handled this subject with dignity and respect, which is what we need when we are dealing with self harm! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I need this!!
I always imagined Harry, and the other survivors of the 2nd war started a group, where they tried to get rid of all of the Wizarding worlds prejudice against werewolves. And since Harry is Harry, he probably had a lot of influence on people. Like him and the rest of the order told Lupin story, and how he had a son, and a family and aided in the 2nd war, and gradually the wizarding worlds prejudices against werewolves dissolved. I just think that’s that would be really nice, in Remus’s memory.
I used to be a self harmer. At first I thought this was simply a cool, immersive ASMR video, but it seems like a message to people with mental illness too. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I appreciate what you said. People really don’t understand and judge others for their scars, but it’s good to take a breath and remind ourselves that it’s okay to trust other people sometimes. I wasn’t expecting this to pop up here, but it was a pleasant surprise, and I just want to thank you. Not a lot of people are as gentle as you are. Thank you.
i find it incredibly amazing and humble that this man takes the time to reply and like almost every comment in this comment section. the talent, kindness, and pure positively that radiates from this man is incredible.
I’ve rewatched this over 3 times....my anxiety was really bad tonight but you’re voice talking me through breathing like that, helped me calm down alot tysm 🥰
When I read somewhere that JK intended lycanthropy to be an allegory for HIV, I got really annoyed... However with this video it kind of feels more comfortable. When I was diagnosed my doctor and therapist talked to me a lot like this. I've now been undetectable for about 2 years now :)
No joke, for the past few days I have been debating whether it would come off as annoying or demanding to ask if you could do a lupin video. I’m a little freaked out?
How is it you can literally turn into any character when you do these role plays. Simply AMAZING acting. So glad i stumbled across your channel a few months ago! 😊
Also, the analogy for self harm and dealing with those thoughts is very appreciated. I'm only a few months clean of self harm, and still struggle with the thoughts. Thank you for having a focus on it in this video.
"people might not understand why you do it, why you hurt yourself" oh, thank you for understanding jim ok now im crying a bit, todays been kinda rough, and so, things happened, genuinely thank you, you help me feel safe and cared for
I'm not sure if you meant to but I suffer from self h*rm and don't eat as often as I should, so the talk about self h*rm and eating something because it'll help me feel better really helped. Thank you!
Lycanthropy=mental illness, Wolvesbane=medication, Lupin=peer support professional. At least thats my take.. maybe I'm see what I want to see. 😺 Or maybe I state the obvious.
This was beautiful. Having a illness with no cure (Never realized how often I feel like a werewolf. :P ) You have no idea how much this helped me. A perfect parallel to how I feel lately. It definitely allowed me to let out a few of my emotions. Thank you so much. ✨
I can not tell you how much I enjoyed this video. It was so relaxing and comforting. You are an amazing actor and portray Lupin so unbelievably well. Thank you so much
One of my favourite characters without a doubt. There's just so much depth to this character and his illness, and I am amazed to realize that you are brilliant at making me believe he's right in front of me, sipping his tea. Congrats on the choosing of this video's theme, professor 😊 P.S.: Haven't watched the Sirius Black one, because I'm actually hesitant. I might watch it next. I mean, you're absolutely fantastic in every one of your videos so, I should know better than to just put it on hold. 😅😅
"A lot of life's ailments can be cured with a cup of tea" You're not wrong there! I'm sure laughter was what you were going for but you did give me a chuckle with that line. On a very, very serious note. Can I just commend you for acknowledging this so incredibly difficult subject. I wrote a piece not too long ago on dermatillomania, which is not unlike self harm and a burden that I myself suffer from. I'd also like to say that if you're talking teas, then Twinings SuperBlend Calm has a special place in my cupboard. If you try it, I hope it serves you well :) You, my friend, have a capability that few possess. Great work as always, keep it up :)
I waited for a few hours before I watched this just to savour the idea of a new video so soon after the 1917 one. OMG was it worth it! Jim, you absolutely were Professor Lupin to a T. As usual you effortlessly morphed into the character with perfect hair makeup and facial gestures. The lighting was gorgeous and the script 😘. I found your calm reassuring response to a particularly ‘traumatic’ situation extremely realistic. For anyone in real life going through a tough time the idea of a friend like this to talk to and support them would be everything. This is not just any old ASMR video for relaxation and sleep. This is something I can revisit again and again for relief IRL. As a person who suffers from anxiety and depression this helps more than you’ll ever know. You kind sir are a Gem 💎❤️😊😊😘
LOVE how the hesitant, ominous, and exciting, “you are a werewolf,” line is giving me very much Hagrid vibes when he first told Harry he was a wizard. 😍😍😭🤚🏽 my god, this is brilliant and relaxing as hell. thank you so much. i genuinely believed i was the only weirdo specifically looking for RJ Lupin ASMR :3
Your two Remus Lupin videos always calm me down in a instant before an anxiety attack can happen to me…would love to see another video of him and Moody.
Remus Lupin is being a completely sweet person and offering wisdom from experience and assuring the student (viewer) that we can talk to him any time is a nice touch. Nice job as always to Jim. :3
Such a beautiful variation in videos and characters we are getting. Theres something special about this channel. Nothing better to look in my subscription feed, see a new video and think "wow, i wasnt expecting this. I cant wait to see that he comes up with next!". Really have to commend the creativity, dedication and range in these videos.
Jim, this cosplay is so good! Not to mention your speech and acting in this video, you compose great audio and lines that are well within the realm of Lupin. You always surprise and wow me! 💕
I'm sorry, Professor Lupin, it must've been all that werewolf ASMR I sat though 😣 Jokes aside, this is a brilliant idea, thank you so much for covering it in such a creative way 💕✨
I think, it s pretty amazing how compassionate everyone in this comment section is. Good to see there are people who care, even thou they don t know each other. So thats a shout out to all these people who care. Even if you can not safe the entire planet, every act of kindness makes a difference, no matter how small or unimportant it might seem. For someone it means the world, even if you ll never actually know. So keep doing what you do, may it be videos, talks or whatever kind of taking care it will be. :) Every tiny bit matters. Every tiny bit might change the world for someone. Also, enjoyed that vid a lot ;)
@@danasommerfeldt4086 thank you for your kind feedback. It has been quite a journey for me, until I found a way to encourage others in my job, stay focused myself and keep the balance in the everyday madness. I try to remember that everyone has their history and hidden battlefields in mind, so whenever I see kindness, I appreciate it. Kindness does help a lot^^

To anyone who is reading this and may be experiencing the same thing, I know it is a little cliché but I promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and there is a way out. You are not invisible. There are thousands of us, people you know or even strangers who would give everything to help you. But more importantly, there is a future version of yourself looking back at this moment and wishing they could tell you how much better things will be. Trust me. I was in hospital on this day two years ago. I wish I could tell that person who had given up entirely how much better things would get. So, if at all possible, I would like to be that person for anyone who is reading this and has struggled with the same issues. Please hang in there, seek out help, and cling on to your hope. ❤️
Magnus Bane Much love and virtual hugs, my friend. It took me quite some time to talk about my experience, but as a teacher of teenagers, I realized that I’m in a position to help a lot of kids struggling with similar issues, but I had to be willing to share about it...in the end, it’s healing for me, too.
Thank you, my darling. 💜 👭

You know you're an addict when it's not even sleep time and you drop everything to watch a vid just because you got the notification ;)
No worries - I was in Skyrim before this - time to go behead me some Glenmoril Witches and head to Ysgramor's Tomb! I'll be fine! ;)
You're playing it right now?! OMG lucky I haven't played in awhile XD but I love it how was it?
Yes. I'm a new addict
I was in Skyrim before it too :) time to kick some trolls in Labyrinthian :D
Glywen I always avoid dwemer ruins too!😂 I just rlly hate dealing with falmer :/
Haha!
So not much change from what I'm already like once a month, then.
Your empathy and genuine desire to ease the suffering of others is apparent in your work in general. But I feel this video illustrates that you're willing to really step into the darkness to do it. You have my utmost respect. And you are also not alone.
Thank you Sam. 🤗
HA! The werewolf that bit me is going to turn ginger... 😂
😅😅😅
I feel u bro
I just want to say that the acting in this is absolutely amazing. I literally felt like I was actually talking to Remus Lupin, and seeing him trying to calm me down is really helpful especially considering he’s my favourite character. Also as someone who has depression and has gone through some really dark moments in my life, this video really made me feel better and comfortable. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Thank you Kimmy, I'm very glad.
You get even the inflections of his voice right! VERY well done!
Thank you!

Favorite Asmrtist combined with favorite character?? And your acting is, as always, astounding. Thank you for blessing my day with this 💖💝
Thank you!
You have just the perfect aura for ASMR, and your voice is probably the most comforting out of all the artists I've listened to... and, uhh I was wondering if you would ever do a video about treating someone for self harm wounds, or something along the lines of that (maybe medical, maybe not). I know it's ~heavy stuff~ but since you're into unusual things I thought I'd just put it out there :) (sorry if it's triggering for anyone)
I would - but I would want it to be as tasteful and caring as possible. It's touched upon in this video - but I will happily make a full one at some point.
With thoughtfulness it could definitely be tastefully done. What could be triggering for some, might actually be helpful for most. It could be very powerful. Amazing how even words from a stranger can be healing. It was a sports medicine doctor I was referred to for a completely unrelated knee injury that saved my life. I'll never forget the words he said to me.
Jimち ASMR Or maybe just more videos with Lupin helping out this mysterious character with some scrapes they've run into, this is a good medium for that content.
i'm DYING to see something like that
Wish I actually did have Remus to comfort me when I was diagnosed with lycanthropy. Very well done sir!
Thank you Jordan!
When I was younger I had a huge crush on Fred and George...
Now I'm older...I now have crushes on Remus and Sirius...
Also I just wanna say as someone who has dealt with self-harm for a while this was honestly very comforting...it helped me stop 6 months ago and it helps me with any urges I get so thank you very much❤❤
There's so much genuine compassion throughout this video. You did an amazing job addressing this in a comfortable, unique, and professional way. As a student of psychology, I really appreciate the way you did everything in this.
Thank you.
God, treating lycanthropy as an analogy for mental illness is so much more kind, tactful and nuanced than Rowling’s actual pisspoor grasp at an HIV/AIDS comparison.
Thanks Jim.
This is the first time I've ever encountered anyone who had that opinion. Was that the intention of the werewolves or just your understanding of her writing?
I've never requested anything before but you're so good at these I'm DYING to see you make a Westley from The Princess Bride ASMR, you'd be so good lol
Yes. Wesley
As you wish.
@@JimASMR See you already have a start...😉
@@JimASMR YES!! Lol

"A lot of life's ailments can be cured with a cup of tea"
Agreed~
🤗
Yes, chamomile or Yorkshire black tea is quite good. So many delicious variTEAS !!
10:26 I feel that in my soul!! I love how you touched upon self harm! And what you said in that chunk of this video is so true! You captured self harm perfectly! This means so much to me, you have no idea! Very rarely do people capture self harm the way you did! You handled this subject with dignity and respect, which is what we need when we are dealing with self harm! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I need this!!
Oh my gosh, I had been hoping you'd do Remus! I watch your Sirius Black one almost every night, but Remus is my favourite 💕✨
😄
I always imagined Harry, and the other survivors of the 2nd war started a group, where they tried to get rid of all of the Wizarding worlds prejudice against werewolves. And since Harry is Harry, he probably had a lot of influence on people. Like him and the rest of the order told Lupin story, and how he had a son, and a family and aided in the 2nd war, and gradually the wizarding worlds prejudices against werewolves dissolved.
I just think that’s that would be really nice, in Remus’s memory.
I used to be a self harmer. At first I thought this was simply a cool, immersive ASMR video, but it seems like a message to people with mental illness too. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I appreciate what you said. People really don’t understand and judge others for their scars, but it’s good to take a breath and remind ourselves that it’s okay to trust other people sometimes.
I wasn’t expecting this to pop up here, but it was a pleasant surprise, and I just want to thank you. Not a lot of people are as gentle as you are. Thank you.
i find it incredibly amazing and humble that this man takes the time to reply and like almost every comment in this comment section. the talent, kindness, and pure positively that radiates from this man is incredible.
🤗
I’ve rewatched this over 3 times....my anxiety was really bad tonight but you’re voice talking me through breathing like that, helped me calm down alot tysm 🥰
When I find myself in times of trouble
Remus Lupin comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Drink some tea

When I read somewhere that JK intended lycanthropy to be an allegory for HIV, I got really annoyed... However with this video it kind of feels more comfortable. When I was diagnosed my doctor and therapist talked to me a lot like this. I've now been undetectable for about 2 years now :)
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
No joke, for the past few days I have been debating whether it would come off as annoying or demanding to ask if you could do a lupin video.
I’m a little freaked out?
Haha, well, your telepathic request came through loud and clear!
How is it you can literally turn into any character when you do these role plays. Simply AMAZING acting. So glad i stumbled across your channel a few months ago! 😊
Thank you 😚
Lupin is such a calming presence as is, but with you playing him and helping us be calm ... This Hufflepuff is sleeping well tonight. 💛
Also, the analogy for self harm and dealing with those thoughts is very appreciated. I'm only a few months clean of self harm, and still struggle with the thoughts. Thank you for having a focus on it in this video.
🤗🤗🤗
"people might not understand why you do it, why you hurt yourself" oh, thank you for understanding jim
ok now im crying a bit, todays been kinda rough, and so, things happened, genuinely thank you, you help me feel safe and cared for
I'm not sure if you meant to but I suffer from self h*rm and don't eat as often as I should, so the talk about self h*rm and eating something because it'll help me feel better really helped. Thank you!
They’re really gonna have to start giving out oscars to youtubers huh. AMAZING AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING MY SATURDAY 🙌🏻❤️

Nah, I already bite, scratch and howl to the moon, because I'm a pagan weirdo so I don't care.

OMG PROFESSOR LUPIN!
I love Lupin, and your acting skills are just amazing!!!
Thank you!
Siris black also loves lupin
I literally screamed like a little fangirl, jumping up and down, when I read that title because I absolutely loved the Sirius Black Roleplay 🌹😍❤
I hope you enjoyed it Zephyra!
Jim: last night something happened to you...
Me: am I pregnant?
Jim: no
Me: thank the gods
Your Professor Lupin impression is just incredible. You have a great talent as an actor. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you!
This was so immersive that when you told us about the bloodlust I started to worry that I might be a risk to my cats 😂😂
Awwww! 😽
You are such an astute actor. I truly appreciate the effort, research, and pure talent that you put into your videos. You're completely amazing! 🖤
Thank you!
I don't know how you do it, but you always seem to know the exact days that I need your ASMR the most. I really appreciate it. ❤️
Thank you Taylor 🤗
I love Harry Potter sooo much! And your performance as always is on point! The makeup, the voice, the script! Thank you Jim! Glad to be a werewolf 😋
Thank you Hermy!
Lycanthropy=mental illness,
Wolvesbane=medication,
Lupin=peer support professional.
At least thats my take.. maybe I'm see what I want to see. 😺
Or maybe I state the obvious.
Who but Remus Lupin would be like "yeah so you're a werewolf now but it's chill my dude you just drink some tea and remember to breathe"
😅
Don't forget the chocolate 🍫🍫
This was beautiful. Having a illness with no cure (Never realized how often I feel like a werewolf. :P ) You have no idea how much this helped me. A perfect parallel to how I feel lately. It definitely
allowed me to let out a few of my emotions.
Thank you so much. ✨
Any time. Thank you Rachel. 🤗
I can not tell you how much I enjoyed this video. It was so relaxing and comforting. You are an amazing actor and portray Lupin so unbelievably well. Thank you so much
One of my favourite characters without a doubt. There's just so much depth to this character and his illness, and I am amazed to realize that you are brilliant at making me believe he's right in front of me, sipping his tea. Congrats on the choosing of this video's theme, professor 😊
P.S.: Haven't watched the Sirius Black one, because I'm actually hesitant. I might watch it next. I mean, you're absolutely fantastic in every one of your videos so, I should know better than to just put it on hold. 😅😅

"A lot of life's ailments can be cured with a cup of tea"
You're not wrong there! I'm sure laughter was what you were going for but you did give me a chuckle with that line.
On a very, very serious note. Can I just commend you for acknowledging this so incredibly difficult subject. I wrote a piece not too long ago on dermatillomania, which is not unlike self harm and a burden that I myself suffer from. I'd also like to say that if you're talking teas, then Twinings SuperBlend Calm has a special place in my cupboard. If you try it, I hope it serves you well :)
You, my friend, have a capability that few possess. Great work as always, keep it up :)
Thank you Elena 🤗
I’m so impressed by the acting work here! You really embodied Remus in this one. Cheers!
OMG I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION FOR THIS!

@@00ccat13 Why you all screaming? You scaring the kids.
😚
@@ODSTD56 Hahahahaha considering that I'm now a werewolf I'd probably scare them anyway so what do I have to lose? XD
I waited for a few hours before I watched this just to savour the idea of a new video so soon after the 1917 one. OMG was it worth it! Jim, you absolutely were Professor Lupin to a T. As usual you effortlessly morphed into the character with perfect hair makeup and facial gestures. The lighting was gorgeous and the script 😘. I found your calm reassuring response to a particularly ‘traumatic’ situation extremely realistic. For anyone in real life going through a tough time the idea of a friend like this to talk to and support them would be everything. This is not just any old ASMR video for relaxation and sleep. This is something I can revisit again and again for relief IRL. As a person who suffers from anxiety and depression this helps more than you’ll ever know. You kind sir are a Gem 💎❤️😊😊😘
Thank you Fiona. That means a lot. 🤗
OMG! Me too!
"Eat, you'll feel better" the wise words of Remus Lupin
"wolfsbane will become your best friend."
Yeah, cuz james potter and Sirius are dead?

Noo you did not just say that...
...how dare you
I hate you
Well- okay then
THATS CRUEL IM HURT
This is absolutely everything I've ever wanted. You're incredibly talented and I feel so honored to be a part of this journey ❤️
🤗
LOVE how the hesitant, ominous, and exciting, “you are a werewolf,” line is giving me very much Hagrid vibes when he first told Harry he was a wizard. 😍😍😭🤚🏽 my god, this is brilliant and relaxing as hell. thank you so much. i genuinely believed i was the only weirdo specifically looking for RJ Lupin ASMR :3
Your two Remus Lupin videos always calm me down in a instant before an anxiety attack can happen to me…would love to see another video of him and Moody.
Remus Lupin is being a completely sweet person and offering wisdom from experience and assuring the student (viewer) that we can talk to him any time is a nice touch. Nice job as always to Jim. :3
Thank you Jazz.
Such a beautiful variation in videos and characters we are getting. Theres something special about this channel. Nothing better to look in my subscription feed, see a new video and think "wow, i wasnt expecting this. I cant wait to see that he comes up with next!".
Really have to commend the creativity, dedication and range in these videos.
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Lupin: you're awake.
No one:

Said like a true Brit 😭
woah this is so calming you have no idea?? remus is one of my biggest comforts right now and i needed this so much
Jim, this cosplay is so good! Not to mention your speech and acting in this video, you compose great audio and lines that are well within the realm of Lupin. You always surprise and wow me! 💕
I'm sorry, Professor Lupin, it must've been all that werewolf ASMR I sat though 😣
Jokes aside, this is a brilliant idea, thank you so much for covering it in such a creative way 💕✨
My pleasure. 😊
This is genuinely my comfort video now I literally watch this everyday🥺✨😌
Same!! Really brings me back to earth when things get too much.
I think, it s pretty amazing how compassionate everyone in this comment section is. Good to see there are people who care, even thou they don t know each other. So thats a shout out to all these people who care. Even if you can not safe the entire planet, every act of kindness makes a difference, no matter how small or unimportant it might seem. For someone it means the world, even if you ll never actually know. So keep doing what you do, may it be videos, talks or whatever kind of taking care it will be. :) Every tiny bit matters. Every tiny bit might change the world for someone.
Also, enjoyed that vid a lot ;)
Well said 🤗
@@danasommerfeldt4086 thank you for your kind feedback. It has been quite a journey for me, until I found a way to encourage others in my job, stay focused myself and keep the balance in the everyday madness. I try to remember that everyone has their history and hidden battlefields in mind, so whenever I see kindness, I appreciate it. Kindness does help a lot^^
Remus Lupin has always been my favorite character from the HP universe. This video was absolute perfection, Sir. Bravo!!! 💕
Thank you!
No, I'm NOT crying😭😭💙
🥺
This is really lovely, and if anyone is reading this and needs someone to talk to, I'd be honoured to be considered a friend X
Bless your heart 💙

You’re such a beautiful person 🥺❤️
