Hi!
I ended up recording for a long time again, so I've decided to split this "After Dark" (Thanks Tig) AMA into two parts, with the next coming out next month, so that Feb isn't absolutely overloaded with content compared to March. Hope an hour forty-three will do for now and I'm excited to answer the other half of the excellent questions.

This was really fun and felt a bit more relaxed and intimate than the first one. Take care!

August, thank you for your candour and vulnerability here. I really enjoyed this (maybe even more than the general AMA) esp because of how genuine and thoughtful you are with the questions. It’s really nice to listen to your thoughts about different things, not just NSFW stuff but even about the wider culture; it makes me appreciate the creative mind behind the stories we enjoy so much, and it’s so great to be able to relate to you as a human being and an artist / creator. I’m really glad you found this creative outlet and let the world in on your talents. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 Side note: it is incredible how totally textbook INFP you are!! (that’s a compliment btw) It felt like I was listening to an alternate universe version of myself hahahaha 😂 Down to the Star Wars wallpaper lmao 😂😂😂 If you would ever be open to talking about your writing and storytelling experiences or process, I would be so interested to hear about it!! Also: is there a place we can read your non-audio-related writing 👀👀👀 or maybe your audio related writing too! since you mentioned you’ve been writing for gwa for a while now 👀👀👀

Right off the bat, you seem so much calmer and more at peace which totally shone through! This was really nice to listen to after a long-ass day and it was so pleasant to light a candle, put on some fuzzy socks and just lay in bed while you talked. What’s really cool/interesting about listening to these AMAs is that it’s created a real discernible shift in identity between you, the creator of augustinthewinter, and the character augustinthewinter. I think it’s easy to lump creator and creation together but these AMAs (imo) have helped solidify that boundary between who you actually are and who your character is which is helpful for discouraging unhealthy/parasocial relationships and whatnot. Don’t get me wrong, you sound hot as hell and your voice has/would/will (😉) cause a whole ecosystem of butterflies to flutter in my stomach just by talking about your favorite snacks. But I think learning more about your personality and history brings depth to you as a separate individual, apart from your content, and it’s such a goddamn treat to get to know you as an actual person. Which, btw, like…I’m not kidding, if you were to start a podcast or idk, want to just ramble about your favorite soups or dissect the lotr movies in length, i would eat that shit up with a spoon and ask for seconds. Thanks for this long, cozy AMA August, you are too good to us 💖 I can’t wait for part 2! P.S. “I won’t be pegged for the meme” and your rant about sex culture/trends on TikTok were probs my fave moments, along with the dirty talk suggestions of course (even if that segment caused a heart murmur). Also, the fact that the best advice you‘ve ever gotten was from your (undoubtedly incredible) mom??? That was just so precious 🥹🥹

Tig

Haha hey there! Thanks for the little shoutout, that was very sweet. I do love how ‘August After Dark’ rolls nicely off the tongue and I’m tickled you went with it, but if another name comes up that you want to play with, please don’t feel obligated to keep it 😊 There were so many delightful things in this AMA, I love that bit about your mom’s advice and the conversations you had with your parents about complicated stuff like race. And man I may be feeling some type of way today but you sounded….so good.😵‍💫 Yeah, umm, really enjoyed listening to that, thanks bye.🏃🏻‍♀️

Tig

Yes yes all of this! And the giggly “everyday we stray further from God” comment made me laugh 🤭

sarah 💫
>>102378420

omg yes! I’m embarrassed by how hard I was smiling at that part 😅

sarah 💫
>>102379292

A shout out from august?? You dropped this queen 👑 also girl, august has us all feeling some typa way…🫠

Tig

Sarah. I may or may not be ovulating at the moment.😅 (Also thank you I don’t deserve it 👑)

TL;DR comment cumminatcha... ;-) i like to imagine these ama's as letters between pen pals getting to know each other. so, to level the field, i'm gonna reveal some shit about me. i also feel that we patrons are loose acquaintances coming together for a shared interest (old school aol chatroom vibes like "you've got mail") so let's get to know each other a little. we already know that a handful of us are infj's. if you don't give a shit about anything i have to say, please feel free to skip this long-ass comment. lol rice purity scale - 18. tbh, i was today years old when i learned about this. kinsey scale - heterosexual with more than incidental homosexual tendencies. taron egerton is my current number one celebrity crush so i get that. he was amazing in rocketman and blackbird and i'm really looking forward to the tetris movie. emma stone, or perhaps the characters she plays (see olive in easy a but older), is my current or possibly forever female celebrity crush. chef melissa king and mae martin are a very close second/third on the celebrity crush list. oh fuck, and that woman that chops wood on tiktok. fuck me, those shoulders. not a celebrity but still. i think a good mix of femme/masc is super sexy. but for sure, confidence is key and so incredibly sexy. let's not confuse cockiness and confidence though. music during sex is great but it has to be the right song and, of course, musical taste is subjective. i like dark, trip hop type music like this - https://youtu.be/PKtTmZnVhhI?t=87. songs like this give me frisson and so in turn adds to the sex having. someone once said this to me about regrets and it has stuck with me. it doesn't always apply but she said this to me when i was needing to make a life choice, "whatever you decide today, do not regret this decision later. it is the right decision for you now even if later in life it changes. right now is what matters and right now it's the right choice." i am child free and i love it. i have always known that i didn't want children. imho, it's important to fear child having and rearing. it's not something to take casually. being afraid of it doesn't mean you shouldn't have children. it just means you are mindful and aware that it's a huge life decision. i was like august in my 20's. i wanted to stay young. when i was 4, i told my mom i didn't want to have birthday parties anymore because i didn't want to get older. i recently saw the "alan cumming is not acting his age" show. great show, btw, and alan cumming is everything. he talks about how important it is as we age to continue to have relationships with people of varying ages, in varying stages of life, from different walks of life, cultures, etc. he talks about aging gracefully and that acting one's age is such a judgment that people like to place on others. there's nothing wrong with staying young as you age. so, stay young if you wish, sweet friends. i identify as asian american so eeaao was a film that i've been waiting for my whole life. i cried when i heard ke huy quan was making a comeback with this film, cried before the first scene even hit the screen, cried throughout, continued to cry for awhile afterward, cry at every award show, every announcement that michelle yeoh or the film is nominated. the impact of this film on the asian american landscape resonates and hopefully changes things for the better. dirty talk - my partner enjoys the size mentions, praise, instruction, yes baby, fuck me, like that, harder, right there, don't stop, can i cum, i want you to cum. shit like that. i was also today years old when i learned about the bubble gum pink thing and i wish i hadn't. it's so gross. what in the actual fuck is the matter with people. i did enjoy your rant though, august. i appreciate your concern for our young friends. i have nieces that are in that age range and i worry about them constantly. being in your 40's is fuckin amazing, y'all. yes, i'm in my 40's. i might be the oldest patron here. whatever. being a mature yet still very young person at heart is fuckin rad! enjoy your 20's, for sure. do all the things with no regrets but don't fear the years. look forward to it. i promise you, it's so good. i have never loved myself as a person more than i do now. i also have never given more fucks about important shit and less fucks about the stupid shit. my partner is in his 50's and he's hotter than ever. getting older is great. embrace it. the collapse of society is my fear as well. i truly hope it doesn't happen but i am genuinely fearful. the ship question - as a trekkie, i would be deanna troy, the ship's counselor, the empath. i fucking hate having my photo taken. it's the absolute worst! asian men, y'all. if you've never, i highly recommend it. they don't disappoint. ok, that's a generalization. but don't sleep on the asians just because they're asian. don't believe the dumb stereotypes. my partner is filipino canadian and we've been happily together for 21 years. dancing is such therapy. we're getting back into it. i think i forgot how much i enjoy it. this might be controversial but the best gaming console and game? the correct answer is nintendo 64 and goldeneye 007. ha! they just released it on switch and xbox but i haven't played it yet. love at first sight is not real. it does not exist. it's like that quote from sleepless in seattle, "you don't want to be in love. you want to be in love in a movie." fairy tales and films have led us to believe in this notion of love at first sight. i had major commitment issues in my 20's. probably still do a bit. probably always will a bit. therapy is helpful. as others have mentioned, august, your family dynamic seems healthy and lovely and it definitely shines through in these ama's. it's pretty clear that you're a decent human with defined boundaries, a good moral compass, a healthy appetite for learning and growth, and highly emotionally intelligent. love to see it! this ama was so great, august. i enjoyed the conversational aspect of it, and look forward to part 2. my friend and i are currently chatting about it so thanks for giving us something to talk about today. i hope everyone has an amazing week ahead. spread kindness, not germs. ;-)

I listened to first bit of this before the standing Last of Us date with best friend, you answered my questions at the start so thank you! You should check out the 1st episode! I think even the TX stuff was filmed in Alberta, but we rewatched it tonight to look for funny Austin cliches like food trucks, cowboy hats, terrible traffic (🧟s are only ancillary tbh), etc. 3rd episode can be viewed stand alone, but it's really beautiful and the score ❤️ All the frisson in that one. I got to pet someone's English bulldog puppy at the pet store this afternoon! Probably about 9-10 weeks old, he was soooo chunkyyy 🥰 Would be the PERFECT dog to name Torbjorn. I want a French bulldog or a mix, but already have 2 dogs (Shih Tzu and a Great Pyrenees/Poodle mix - if anyone wants to see an IRL Ewok I have one https://imgur.com/a/vCaFkNG ) so that's out. I had a half Frenchie/half Boston Terrier and he was the best dog for a kid to grow up with. Probably have more rambly commentary later when it's not 3 am, but it's fun reading all the comments here. The more relaxed vibe in this is really nice, look forward to finishing it and also "flesh prison" was funny af 😂

Hehe, I loved your answer regarding the skincare stuff! I feel like that industry's biggest goal is getting as many people on board with hyper consumerism as as possible. Less is more, just don't forget your spf! Thanks for your time, August! I had fun listening to this :)

i really really enjoyed this comment!!!!! and yes, super agree w/ you, one of my fave aspects of being a patron is seeing so many lovely people enjoy the same stuff 💕 thank you for sharing!!!

Oh boy. Yeah when that ovulation happens, she is LOUD. I take less responsibility for my thoughts and actions 🤣

Tig

I’m sayinggggg 🤭😆 Like pls forgive me for the person I become during ovulation. Like talk about committing crimes okay.

I enjoyed “getting to know you” a little better so thank you for that! I had to laugh because there’s one person I befriended on Reddit and we wrote long pen-pal style texts in this format when we first met! Surprise, she is also an infj 😆 and now one of my closest irl friends! I also identify as Asian American and really need to watch eeaao again! I caught it on a flight where I wasn’t quite in the right mindset so I remember enjoying it but wanted to re-watch to really appreciate it. Thank you for the reminder. My current situationship is long distance so dirty talk is ✨key✨. He loves size mentions, instruction, praises, asking for permission to cum, talking about tight/wet holes, etc. Another partner loved calling my lowercase boobs “babygirl tits” which in hindsight I don’t think I like that much 😅 The advice to read F4M scripts is a good one, I’ve definitely used some of those ideas while sexting/having phone sex. I’m in my 30s, child free and enjoying my adult money 😆 I love your insight to your 40s and hope I feel the same way. I am a late bloomer in many ways so I feel like my “good years” were wasted (in terms of romance/sex) so I struggle with getting older sometimes. But I am still very young at heart and it really *is* rad!😊

I have a former bf who is half Asian and he struggled with it, leading to a messy complicated relationship with his mother (Asian parent) and also just with himself. It was hard as someone who loved him but didn't have the personal experience, education, or life experience (unfortunately I was also a super naive 17 to his 23 when we met so uh not generally the greatest relationship) to help. Even though that situation ended terribly, I still feel a lot of empathy for him and hope he got therapy. Huge proponent of mental healthcare, I've been going for like half a decade now. In an ideal world where professional shortages and corporate healthcare greed aren't an issue, therapy would be available to everyone just for maintenance even if you didn't have big issues to work through. I'm glad it sounds like you have a healthy relationship with your family and gain the benefits in the rest of your life from being comfortable with yourself. Was about that google that Tiktok phrase and glad I didn't. ಠ_ಠ I feel complicated about that platform in that I enjoy the content I see (mostly nerd shit, pets, mechanical keyboard building, DSA content/memes, that crab that struggled to molt but finally did it 🥳) but if you ever stray from the path... Really glad that when I was a kid we had AIM and social media was limited to Livejournal and interest specific forums pretty much. Also it's such a time sink, I removed the icon off the homepage of my phone so when I reflexively click it the gym app opens lol and any time spent on TikTok is more intentional because I have to go through a list of apps to get to it. Age is weird when you're past childhood/early 20s, it feels like there's a large difference between people I know who have children and those who are childless in how much "wiser" or whatever they seem to be. Or maybe it felt different in previous generations when you could progress more easily in other "adult" life stuff like home ownership, education, cultural experiences, etc. but at least a lot of the people I know are often in a sort of limbo where you're technically Real Adults™ but sorta the same as you always were going from unprecedented time to unprecedented time. At the same time I have strong feelings about teen/young adult to adult relationships due to common sense lol and afore mentioned experience of how damaging it can be even in a smallish 6 yr gap during formative years. "The Leo" teenager to nearly 50 yr old gap makes me want to vomit, as does his history of ending relationships as soon as his gfs get 25, increasingly glad Rose left his ass in the water. I relate a lot to your comments on having children. I used to not want children, like... at all, but think I'd like to adopt someday. Have the same uneasiness about bringing a child into the world as it is now and I worry about what if it gets worse, climate change etc., but for children who already exist (in the theoretical future, I don't like to think of a child I'd someday adopt waiting around for parents now) I'd like to someday provide a home for a couple... maybe, if I am ever an authentic Real Adult haha. Another super long comment of just rambling, but it was again lovely to listen to and looking forward to part 2 next month!

"this might be controversial but the best gaming console and game? the correct answer is nintendo 64 and goldeneye 007. " .... how dare you. Hahaha I'm having PTSD of playing that game with some younger cousins, I was still a kid too but they were practically born with controllers in their hands and holy shit. Actually now that I think about it, that game was probably a decadeish old when I first tried it, so they were legitimately raised playing it. I play a lot of OW2 and my brother/usual friends who play often joke about how the enemy teams are probably 12 yr olds with their youthful reflexes.

Also quick note re: AI. A couple weeks ago an artist I follow sent out a substack where he had ChatGPT write a song for his band and then he had it write the music and he recorded it and yeah... definitely something to be said for the nuances of the human creative process. It's not terrible but sounds like an echo of an authentic song. If anyone wants to read up/listen it's pretty interesting, it's at Colin Meloy's Machine Shop "I had ChatGPT write a Decemberists song: And I recorded it. Here's "Sailor's Song."

August just explaining dirty talk he likes. *melts*

awwwwwww, you guys! i love that we're all like "in this together". i had a good feeling that we all share some similar qualities from hearing the ama questions. almost every question he answers in these ama's, i'm like "yeah, that's a really great question". i have to echo all of your comments about how it's nice to see that there's a real-ass person on the other end of this who seems like a legitimately decent human. it definitely makes me more inclined to support him because of it. y'all, this made me a bit uncomfortable at first. i haven't done any sort of online chatting with people since the aol chatroom days. i'm not really a reddit user and other social media platforms aren't exactly chat friendly. this is turning out to be fun and nostalgic for me. andie, you're so sweet! xo tig, i love that story about you and your friend from reddit. babygirl tits? yeah, i can see why you might not like that. honestly, that just sounds like someone who wasn't very creative or witty with words. a wordsmith is very hot. yes, about enjoying adult money. like, that's for real real! nothing wrong with late blooming. we all bloom at different stages in life and sometimes we bloom multiple times. why does everything sound sexual here. haha! fuck. heather, aaahhh, my apologies for causing your current ptsd!!! dude, when my friends first got their hands on that game, we must've played it nonstop for like days straight. you could play 4 at a time and we would line up to play it like the way we did in arcades, sans quarters. i think i'm hesitating getting it now because i might be dead to the world if it's as good as i remember.

Hey August, another great AMA. It was candid and insightful— a real treat! You sound super relaxed with an underlying confidence in your tone and cadence in this one.

I loved that you said you feel beautiful when you dance! I’m typically a reserved introverted person, but when I get the chance to dance with my friends we go and rip the dance floor. I don’t know what it is about dancing and music but my soul just wants to take over and move. Not having a care about how people see you and expressing yourself while dancing with friends is definitely something that brings me joy! 💃🏻

sk8rgirl

So I asked the age gap question. I mean, I’m all for a healthy age gap and also, you do you, boo. But some age gaps are just bound to be problematic. I just saw this on tiktok. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRnV7ku9/ Some of these gaps really make you wonder what in the actual fuck?

Heather
>>102384164

sk8rchick, your comment is really sweet ❤️ I kinda identify with what you said, currently working on being less socially passive which yeah... it's often uncomfortable. I'm reserved/shy around strangers and often mentally processing whatever is happening around me, but combined with my resting face it reads as aloof/cold. OR the other side of the coin is getting excited about a topic and the adhd urge to spam some poor soul with rapid fire thoughts or factoids. It's worse in text, sometimes I read back what I've typed to people and want to evaporate 🫠 So yeah, it's fun to find an unexpected pocket of easy dialogue! Have you ever checked out the girl gaming subreddits? We were all about Mario Kart as kids. Did you guys play that battle mode where you have to pop the other person's balloons? I have a brother and 2 stepbrothers, I'm kinda surprised we all made it out of childhood after how serious business those matches could be. I'm kinda curious what it'd be like playing Goldeneye now, I have a Switch so it's tempting. I don't think I'd lose much time, because I'd likely still suck and also mostly vulnerable in that regard to cozy games like Stardew Valley.

just came back here to say that i just watched ke huy quan's oscar winning speech and i'm actually sobbing my eyes out, like aprox the same amount of tears i shed during eeaao but from happiness hahah

Forgive me if someone said this already and I didn’t see… But perhaps the word you’re looking for is ‘aurally’ @ 16:30? 🥰 But ‘auditorily’ and ‘auditorially’ work just as well ;-)

But Sunscreen though 🤌. Lol I get lazy with my skin care, most of the time I slap some sunscreen on after washing my face and call it a day 😂. On another note, I've been trying to get my fiancé to go take some ballroom dance classes with me for ages. He's almost come around to the idea. I say if I DM every Friday, we can go dance every two weeks. 🤣
