Ari, he/they, raging Asexual, writer, and foster parent of stuffed animals

[championari]

Hey you! Yeah, you! You just clicked on a cool blog, mind if I helped you find your way around?

My name is Ari (he/they), an autistic, biromantic asexual aspiring to destroy hyper-capitalist Hollywood with their banger screenwriting skills. But you gotta start somewhere and need a safe space. I come here to obsess over the stuff I like, and if inspired, write about them. 

Topics you’ll see me going nuts over: Studio Ghibli, Disney, Doctor Who, Avatar (animated), Gender theory, Feminist study, Good Omens, Supernatural, Hannibal, The Owl House, Blue Eye Samurai, Arcane, Dead Boy Detectives, Media literacy, Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Story writing, Guild Wars, Xenoblade, Video editing, Kingdom Hearts, Splatoon, and Horizon.

[greatrunner]

This explains so much about people's commentary about ads and site crashes, though. They're using the mobile app.

I know I promised Bloodborne first, but single mother Victor would not leave my head, and I’m proud of what I made. (Insert short essay about Frankenstein and postpartum depression here.)

[landmineblogging]

if you only knew the lives that this has saved

[dadizz]

Its not evil to headcanon canonically pericis girls as trans men or transmasc btw, you can just do that, playing with the characters is free and doesnt harm real people <3

[sawed-on-shotgun]

i am of the sincere belief that if ur on ur computer a lot you should visually customize it to high hell and back not just for funsies but also because it has literally made me less depressed before. its kind of like how rearranging your bedroom is good for your brain, yknow. i do stuff like this every few months

[sawed-on-shotgun]

and if anyone wants to follow suit

LIVE WALLPAPER: wallpaper engine. only thing on here that costs any money (its like 5 bucks on steam). im sure theres free alternatives but this one has a lot of presets and stuff so its less hassle and its what i use. might be a bad idea for lower end pcs tho

CUSTOM TASKBAR: retrobar on github (lots of different options)

CUSTOM CURSOR: theres a lot of places to find these, but rw-designer open cursor library is a good place to start

DISCORD: betterdiscord, im using the clearvision v7 theme with a custom background

EXTENSIONS (these are for firefox, might or might not exist on other browsers):

tabliss for the new tab theme

stylus for tumblr -> specifically the 'tumblr - custom dashboard pallette' theme for colors + bg, and this for the pre-twitterifcation layout

enhancer for youtube for custom youtube colors

the browser theme is just one i found on the firefox theme 'store'

"Death before detransition" as a rallying cry may feel good to repeat.

But ultimately I don't think it's helpful. The people who want you to detransition don't want you to exist. A dead trans person accomplishes their goals just fine.

Our goal is to survive. By any means necessary. Some people that will mean detransitioning for safety. It's soul crushing, but one day you'll have the opportunity to be yourself and you have to be here for it. Some people will have to go or remain stealth, severing any ties with their transness for their own safety. Two closets across the hall from each other each with their own challenges. But there is safety in the closet and you can survive in there despite the challenges.

Your only responsibility is to survive.

There are going to be visible trans people. People who can't or won't detransition for their own reasons. Or who have enough safety that they don't need to. Some who won't survive if they detransition and some who are staying visible so that they can be seen. To remind every we are here.

Fuck death. Your only goal is to survive by any means necessary. Your existence is resistance enough.

[windwardstar]

#we don't need more voices telling trans people to die # we need more voices telling them to live #so consider this me running through the hall telling everyone to live that one day we will get to stand in the sun #but you have to be alive to make it there

It was right those are good tags. I'm putting them in the post.

Existence is resistance. Survive by any means necessary.

"trans people don't live to transition. they transition to live." -Alexander Avila

To a movement that glorifies death as servitude (die for the country, die for the capitalist system), living is the most radical act you can do.

It sucks being so messed up that you constantly need to be told that you’re wanted and why you’re wanted, but being too afraid to say you need to hear it constantly because you don’t want to be annoying or a pain or selfish.

Growing up on the internet it was drilled into us to not give our real name, age, etc. only for all these social platforms to turn around and be like 😦☝️ um actually, we really need your social security number, credit card, and full government ID.

No I don't think you understand how good something like Bloodymary could be for the queer shipping ecosystem right now. At a time when monetization and AI is doing its level best to drain the love, community, and creative joy from our spaces, when the (glorious) queer media boom of the '20s is already making people feel like they can sit back and have it all spoon fed to them so why bother thinking outside the canonical box, a ship that sparks our curiosity enough for us to bring together two separate works for love of the game alone would be goddamn delightful.

[angry-eevee]

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.
