5	Angelica is a content creator on Website/YouTube. Although the uploads on her account are simply labelled as {{ASMR video}}s, all it takes is one viewing to realize [[BaitAndSwitch that's not what they actually are]]. A succinct description would be that they are comedy skits performed in a constantly soft-spoken manner that {{parodies}} actual [=ASMR=]. That said, she makes her fair share of more straight-forward, relaxing ASMR videos too.

7	As of 2023, her channel has accumulated over 160 million views. Her most popular video (at more than 5 million views) is [[https://youtu.be/Uk7acBVDHlQ "1300s A.D. ASMR~ Nun Takes Care of You In Bed {You Have the Plague}"]], which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

9	If you haven't figured out by now, her content thrives on SurrealHumor.

11	In 2020, she also published a novel, ''[[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088WHG7LZ?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420 The Light Was Good]]'', under the name "Angelica Labyrinth".

13	On July 8, 2023, Angelica completely changed her online presence to resemble the "tradwife" aesthetic seen among conservative christian influencers, began posting [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FundieSnarkUncensored/comments/14u9p3z/when_one_of_your_favourite_youtubers_does_a_180/ strange and often homophobic screeds on instagram and tiktok]] that have since been taken down, and privated many of her videos with overtly left-leaning themes. This change has been reflected in her second channel (made for more personal videos and video essays), where she has posted videos related to this. To reflect this change, she has since moved her ASMR content to a new Website/YouTube channel, Angelica's Grass, and she has un-privated some of the aforementioned left-leaning videos on her original channel.
14	----
15	!!Tropes that apply to Angelica videos include:
16
17	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Her historical roleplays aren't always accurate, [[RuleOfFunny but damn if they aren't hilarious]].
18	* AxCrazy: Her characters often are. A few clips promise to help the viewer sleep, through (among other things) 1) a "chill suffocating you to death session," 2) a "relaxing shot to the head," and other [[SarcasmMode soothing]] forms of violence.
19	* BaitAndSwitch: Her videos are consistently done in an ASMR style, but they are not that.
20	* BilingualBonus: She's Latina. Some of her characters are as well, putting this trope into effect when she speaks Spanish as them.
21	* BrightIsNotGood: Don't let the flowers and her own loveliness fool you; the characters she plays are usually deranged.
22	* CelebrityResemblance: She looks a fair amount like Creator/{{Zendaya}}, and this is played up in a video where she does her "ASMR" as Zendaya's [[Characters/SpiderManHomecoming MJ]] from the new ComicBook/SpiderMan franchise, and another as Rue from Series/{{Euphoria}}.
23	* CrossCastRole: She sometimes plays men.
24	* NoNameGiven: She's known mononymously as Angelica. May or may not be her real forename; it's unknown.
25	* {{Pastiche}}: She always speaks softly, as a real ASMR creator would.
26	* SurrealHumor: One of her videos is titled "ASMR~ Dolphin Whisperer Does Your Raccoon Makeup To Invade Raccoon Colony {You're a Dolphin}," which should speak for itself. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouMa1joyR7k&t=123s Watch.]] To boot, it's ''ten minutes'' long.
27	* {{Yandere}}: Employed in several of her videos. For example, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSJbrGUeF7s&t=144s "ASMR~ Romantic Girlfriend Takes Care of You,"]] the girlfriend starts carrying a knife around the 8-minute mark as she romantically argues with her unseen boyfriend.
