Aster Gardenia

A knight from a long forgotten kingdom, awoken from a magical sleep. Now I play video games and try to make you smile~ ⚔️  EN Knight Vtuber ⚔️ She/her | Adult | Seiso

⚔️ Intro post ⚔️

Greetings! My name is Aster Gardenia, and I am a knight, as well as a family friendly EN vtuber who streams on twitch!

I stream retro/indie games, card games, ttrpgs, and art! I would be honored if you wished to learn more about me from this post or any of the links on my page.

I generally stream 6 hours a week - usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 7-9:30pm CST. (Chat makes me do push-ups, it's great.) Links:

Twitch

Bluesky

Youtube

Twitter

Bandcamp

Art tag: #artsters (for art of me, art I made is #asters+art)

Art credits can be found here (also linked on my sidebar)

My lore can be watched in video form here, but in brief - I am a knight from a long forgotten kingdom, whose sovereign did not wish for me to die fighting a hopeless war, and instead put me into a magical sleep that would preserve me until peace returned, whereupon I would wake and live a life for myself - as thanks for the years lived in service to them.

I refer to my audience as "my knights", because since coming to this time, you have all taught me so much about knighthood - about helping and supporting others, and building and strengthening a community. I want to use my streams and the platform I have on social media to support you, your successes, and your happiness - whether that be through sharing lessons I've learned in my life, introducing you to a hidden gem that you may not have discovered otherwise, or just by being very sweet and goofy and enthusiastic. Thank you for reading, and may your efforts bring you glory.

Hey. Heyhey. Do me a favor real quick.

If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.

Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?

If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.

Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.

So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.

A black dragón floating above the clouds

[themediocrehuman]

So others need not squint to read “On March 11, 889 CE, 17 year-old Emperor Uda wrote:  ‘On the 6th day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwasahi.  The color of its fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long. In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back. When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. you cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were a circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds. By nature, it stalks birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night. I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.’”

Shout out to the clover, the dandelion and the daisy. The triumvirate of springtime childish whimsy. WHO is doing it like them

[thestuffedalligator]

This plant, we tell children, has a one in ten-thousand chance to have four leaves. You can search through a clover patch all day and never find one. But if you do, and you pluck it and keep it, it will bring you luck.

And this flower, we tell children, if you let it bud and bloom and age from sun-yellow flower to moon-white seed, you can then pluck it and blow its seeds away to make a wish.

And this flower, we tell children, can be woven into a hat

I love the humor but also that he's not hurting the little guy by putting any weight on him whatsoever
