AJ | She/They | I love Marie Lu!!! | TERFS FUCK OFF

[is-the-ocean-scary]

Making a new intro post because the one I made two years ago was, surprise surprise, outdated

My name is AJ (not what I go by in real life, this is for anonymity)

She/They

Lesbian

Raging feminist, not a terf, bigots on my blog will be blocked and reported

I cannot be very active on here due to a number of reasons but I will be able to come on here more often later this year! I am (im)patiently waiting.

UPDATE TO THE ABOVE BULLET POINT: I actually can go on here a lot more now. That might change near the end of may since this is a temporary solution.

My hobbies include singing (alto), dancing, reading, drawing (digital and traditional), crocheting, making clothing, and now making zines.

I mostly post about Marie Lu, specifically Warcross. Marie Lu has been my favorite author since I was thirteen and that has yet to change. :)

I write fanfiction and post it on AO3! As of right now all of them are about Warcross. Feel free to check it out! As always, if you know me in real life, I can't stop you from reading my stories but do NOT tell me you looked at it. Spare me the embarrassment. Thanks!

I love punk/riot grrrl music, but I do have a very wide range of music that I like! I love pretty much anything.

My current fandoms include Warcross, any Marie Lu fandom, Ride the Cyclone, Splatoon, Stranger Things (just started the show), vocaloid, Sally Face, and honestly many more that I can't think of right now.

My favorite movies are But I’m A Cheerleader, Project Hail Mary, Little Shop of Horrors, Mean Girls, and all three Back to the Future movies

I am pursuing art education!

If there's anything else you would like to ask me, go right ahead!

(I also started putting my art under the tag “the ocean makes art” so if you wanted to view it I suggest searching that tag!)

I feel like we as a society haven’t internalized how Warcross is canonically set like six months from now

I'm going to lose my mind 🥹🥹🥹

Dawg I remember in like 2023 thinking "wow! this is the year that roshan and tremaine were wildcards based on my calculations!" and then this year i was like "wow! this is the year that the riders were moved to the bottom of the ranks because of their gambling architect"

It's so crazy that soon it'll ACTUALLY be the canon year that warcross takes place

I'm going to be geeking out for sure

It's so weird to me that blocking has turned into such a serious thing only reserved for if someone did something wrong. I witnessed some discourse a few months ago around some content creator blocking someone and it blew up. They were harassed for "blocking someone for no reason". And I was like ??? cause there was a reason. They simply didn't want to see the blocked person's posts.

Blocking does not have to be some big gesture. I block people for being assholes but I'm also willing to block someone for giving a dumb take about my fav character. I've blocked people because I was tired of seeing their posts in a tag I'm browsing. I've blocked people who had opinions I agreed with but they were an ass about it. I've blocked people simply because I didn't like their personality or the vibe they gave off.

It's not that deep. You don't have to save blocking for "bad" people. If it brings you peace then do it. I promise you that you'll enjoy your internet experience much more if you block instead of engaging with the thing that's upsetting you.

Man i don't fucking know, maybe the fact that my home town can't have any storm without a tornado attached AND the fact that we've been having multiple tornadoes every month since March and the fact that the state that's second place in the state for tornadoes hasn't even had half of the tornadoes that Illinois has had this year IS a bit worrying to me

Maybe we are direct proof that is no such thing as a place safe from climate change, despite what you believed from those shitty maps on the internet.

Maybe we should all start caring a lot more about this shit and stop believing what fucking Fox News and the billionaires and corporations are saying and start making actual changes

Maybe we are the frogs in the boiling pot of water and we're getting delirious from the heat

But then again idk maybe i'm just falling for the "leftist propaganda" so I can't say much

more nightmare fuel photobash headcanons!!!

The amount of people I've followed/became mutuals with on here that I don't even remember because they changed their username and their interests grew over time is crazy, like who even are you??

Will I unfollow them? Prolly not, i'll feel bad.

[is-the-ocean-scary]

Should I finish writing another riders fic thats been sitting in my wips for ages?

Yes!!!!

No!!!!!

Voting ended onAug 6

It's centered around Asher and it's kinda a chat fic? More details later

(if you haven't yet maybe go check out the fic i released a few weeks ago?!?! my ao3 is in my intro post)

[demilypyro]

Well, generally it's strawberry or maybe peach, but if I gotta pick something non-fruit it's almond.

Confession: whenever i go to panera i go to self checkout and click no drink then get a drink anyway because i'm not paying $3 for an untracked drink. Like if I can just go up to the cups and get myself a drink for free, I'm going to do just that. Take that corporation

[is-the-ocean-scary]

Oh e-begging videos how I despise you

[is-the-ocean-scary]

I crocheted Rocky!!

He's such a cutie patootie 🥹🥹 This was tough but by far one of my fav amigurumi projects I have done because of the detail and accuracy.

Tumblr is actually being SO stupid and glitchy not letting me embed a link to my sentence because it HATES ME, but I used the rocky pattern by @/creature.kingdom.craft on insta and this is the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4494977987/crochet-pattern-rocky-eridian-plush?ref=share

It was so fun to make!! I'll have to make the savior of the universe hat soon to go with him!

[is-the-ocean-scary]

OH MY GOD I just found an Adrian pattern by the same person I'm so giddy

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was tidying up a room, and right in the middle of it I saw a massive grandfather clock. At some point I noticed it had the AO3 symbol on it, so obviously I decided to take a picture and post it on Tumblr.

Except I accidentally captioned it, “guys check this out, I’ve got the one and only AO3 grandfather cock.”

I realized immediately, but by the time I reblogged it with “CLOCK” in all caps, it was too late. It had already done numbers on this hellsite.

So I guess I'm posting my fic today????!?!

Let's fucking go?? Hooray??

It's 1,902 words I think, which is, as per usual, WAY more than I even anticipated when I first got the idea.

I rarely give trigger warnings but please note that this fic is very much about Emika's dad dying of cancer and Emika dealing with the fact that he is going to pass away soon. So please do with that what you will, I don't want to accidentally make people uncomfortable with this topic.

But yeah, Emika is sitting out at recess and she finds her classmate's magic 8 ball. It's a sadder fic but not extremely angsty.

Idk what else to say, please read it I shed tears over this. I hope you guys like it!

[is-the-ocean-scary]

Probably my last time reblogging this but yeah maybe go check it out if you haven't

[is-the-ocean-scary]

My actual last time reblogging this, then I'm done

[winonaparadise]

I think most people could be in love with me if they gave it a shot

[redstonedust]

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.

[redstonedust]

and this isnt just about shounen i just mean like. if you're excusing misogynistic writing with "well it wasn't written for girls" then i'm seriously questioning your approach to all this.

[onetinydumpling]

I’m dumb af guys I’m so sorry this is to like all the people who I’m in fandoms with mostly but I forget stuff like a goldfish normalize asking questions about the media to remember shit

I dunno I feel like in a way I’m supposed to remember everything and every detail and I’m so embarrassed when I need to ask people to refresh my memory
