Youtube channels I enjoy (in no particular order, just how they appear on my sidebar):

KingdomAce - gaming youtuber i only recently got into when he started playing one of my favorite games for the first time and i locked in to at least see him play the rest of the series, though he has plenty of other gaming series to crack into as well. very thorough player, makes a point to search out lore and side quests to get a full picture of whatever he's playing. has a good sense of humor and, while he gives serious/solemn moments their due, still is primarily out to have fun.

Ray Narvaez Jr. - gaming streamer who uploads his VODS to youtube. childhood youtuber. i've been following him since he was apart of Rooster Teeth and recently got back into his content mostly to have on in the background. comfort youtuber.

cups and thoughts - primarily a book vlogger who does a type of silent vlogging (with captions) that i really enjoy. very cosy vids, lovely annotations, and i just love hearing her thoughts on whatever she's reading! she also has a blog where she posts her long-form reviews which i check frequently.

jacksepticeye - obligatory childhood comfort gaming youtuber.

frankie's shelf - booktuber who reads weird/obsessive/gross/odd books and posts hour-long vids discussing the plot and his thoughts on them. i don't normally read these types of books so i have been OBSESSED with throwing on one of his vids while i game and listen to whatever weird stuff he's read recently.

withcindy - booktuber who also keeps abreast of pop culture. very funny, just love to hear her thoughts on stuff.

peachapplebi - another book vlogger who does the silent vlogging style that is very comforting to me.

uncarley - one of the funniest internet personalities i've EVER encountered who does vids on pop culture. her 'explaining the plot of riverdale' vids are SO funny. another 'background to gaming' fav.

Sorta Stupid - i have a weakness for reaction content and these guys are SUPER funny. they sucked me in with Hazbin Hotel and then they started watching my fav series of all time (RWBY) so they just got me good.

warm blanket - atmospheric, calm jazz vids with a cute little graphic to put on for ambience. i mostly play these vids when i'm journaling.

Redacted Audio - i also have a weakness for ASMR Roleplaying. urban fantasy boyfriend rp that has a very intricate world and underlying plots. his voice acting is truly incredible.

MelReads - one of my fav booktubers. she just has a very friendly aura and i could listen to her talk about books all day.

Food Then Games - another gaming youtuber i very much enjoy. posts multiple vids daily (usually around 30 mins in length) and always has several game series going at once. i'm currently locked into her Cyberpunk 2077 series.

Emily Journals - booktuber with a side of book journaling (i LOVE book journal vids) whose tastes align with my own.

lexi aka newlynova - MY FAV BOOKTUBER OF ALL TIME. she is SO funny and yet so insightful about the books she reads and i absolutely gobble up every video she posts. she also does themed reading videos and watching her suffer through 5 mafia romances or Credence is so incredibly funny i just love her so much.

sarawithoutanH - another booktuber i enjoy!

zen's room - silent vlogger (one of the only vloggers i follow because it's hard to find silent vloggers and that's really the only kind i like) who focuses mainly on anime/manga/otaku culture. very positive vibes!!

DanAndPhilGAMES - not even linking these two. childhood holdover because i still love these two so very much.

Anaïs Laure - another booktuber i enjoy!

oat milk diaries - another silent book vlogger i enjoy!

Bujo by Filo - bujo/reading journal set-ups, very satisfying!
