Oh look! An Intro Post~!

Hey everyone! So I figured it was more than high time to give a rundown on ya boi, me, since this blog was bare bones from the beginning, so if you wanna get to know little old me hit that button!

Okay! Hi! I'm Gabe, or Wisteria, and I'm a Transgender (he/him) Bisexual walking trash fire of a millennial trying to deal with long time undiagnosed mental stuff and being an avid fandom enjoyer. I was on tumblr back in the good ol' days (2011-2016) but had some emotional shit happen that led me to abandon my old blog. I made this one as a follow up when I started streaming on Twitch and boy if I didn't just fall right back into fandom and friends and existence on this site~

First off: Thank you to whoever got far enough to read this! Low bar I know, but listen, I've got some seriously bad self esteem I'm using this blog to work on so my posts might ramble (or my tags will at least), and I wanted to warn about that first and foremost.

Fandoms I blog about:

-Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit

-Star Trek (Mostly TOS and AOS however I love Lower Decks and want to watch literally all the shows so eventually it will just be ALL)

-Marvel Comics (Mostly Spider-man, Deadpool, Hawkeye, or Gambit to be honest with you guys)

-Gravity Falls

-Twin Peaks

-Horror Movies (I'm not gonna narrow down specific ones because that'll take ages, but if anyone wants specifics you are welcome to ask!)

-Batman (usually just the rogues gallery or BatFam)

Uhhhhh lets see

Tags I use: #asks for the dragon dog , #barking to the void , #fave , #nsfw , #long post , and ones that will exist in the future #oh god I did a fanfic and #photography in the wild

I'm just a dude who goes all in for the things I love! I adore different fandoms and media, I love animals and I'm actually a Dog Trainer/Behaviorist (so please god if you have a dog tell me what dog they are id love to talk about them), I'm also a photographer and will be posting photos eventually!

My lovely wife and friends have all told me that I'm very dog coded but also dragon coded, hence the moniker Dragon-Dog, and I love to live up to the title~

I've got a lovely bunch of MEGA talented mutuals that I will promo the fuck out of if they post something now that I have a disclaimer about it, so you have been warned (they are all so great holy shit, such amazing people)!

If you read down to THIS point, holy fuck thank you. I appreciate you wanting to get to know me! Asks are always open, and please don't hesitate to chat about similar interests~

[wisteriawyvern]

I'm still alive! Life is weird, stress sucks, I have a job now, and I miss the really cool people I've met on this crazed site~ I'm back as much as I can be on here, and sorry to everyone who isn't expecting the fandoms I've gotten into on their dashes lmfao

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[mintedwitcher]

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

[kedreeva]

or birds. you can also learn to ID birds. you can do this anyway even if your life already as meaning.

for a bonus, you can learn to ID plants and then you can also learn plant thievery. this is a new and exciting way to visit hardware stores.

I don’t have time to draw it right now but while driving home from the winco I saw a happy mustached man pedaling a bike, towing a cart built to look like a chariot, inside of which stood what I can only imagine was his completely expressionless 13 year old in a makeshift corinthian helmet

Something so profoundly fucked up between the inverse ratio of shrinking middle class and ever increasing aggression of advertisement

#this is how it feels to be on tiktok#every video is secretly an ad somehow and theyre so good at hiding it u don't find out until the wnd#end*

This post has way too many notes and they've been clogging up my notifs for a month, but these are the first ones I've seen that Get It. Thank you. This is exactly it.

I wasn't talking about the absurdity of companies trying to advertise cars or vacations that no one can afford, like everyone in the notes seems to think. There are plenty of people who can afford them. Fewer than there used to be, but corporations aren't starving.

I was talking about the invasive way advertisers have taken over every modicum of available space and how it's no longer possible to turn anywhere without advertising being pushed on you, despite the fact that most people don't have the kind of expendable income that these companies are trying to extract from them. The less money the average person has to throw around, the more aggressively they're hounded to hand it over. Where people used to be able to afford a new car and a vacation and still throw expendable income around, they now save up for one or another big purchase (those who can afford one, and that population has significantly dwindled). People limit their other spending, and in response companies descend on our consciousness, on every last bit of space they can squeeze their presence into, like pigeons onto a handful of seeds thrown on the ground.

You have to sit through advertisements to watch something on youtube only to realize the video is, itself, an ad in disguise. You can't pump gas without a little screen blaring at you wanting you to buy things. Billboards and bus benches weren't enough, they have to be energy gobbling screens now so five companies can sell you shit while you wait instead of just one. Every available surface is screaming at you to BUY THE THING. Where you used to be able to play a game on your phone, now you can't get through more than a round of any without having to sit through ads to keep playing. Ads that are pushing other games to you that have more ads. Games based on making working class jobs look fun. Be a barista and fulfill every order or the customers will be angry! Lolololol! Work at a hotel and don't fail, making the demanding customer angry is failing don't fail! Hahahahahahahaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaa it's fun! Run a farm and make money to buy more things to grow and sell to make money to buy more things to grow and sell to make more money to buy more things to grow and sell and and and! Even in your free time you should be thinking about your place in the market economy! Or worse, they're ads for predatory games, whether they're "play our game and win real money!" bullshit or "doctors want you to play this to avoid alzheimer's [if you're old play this game where we'll exploit your confusion about technology to sell you more things.]"

Every free moment you have, every free surface you come across is another opportunity to sell you something. We aren't able to get a break from it in our free time in our own home unless we constantly take steps and make effort to, like installing ad blockers - which youtube and other websites are constantly working against - but those don't even work on your phone or tablet. And the closer to home the advertisement, the more it targets you specifically, because your personal devices, that should be your personal, intimate, private property and space, are exploited to collect data on you to wrench every last cent from your wallet. They want to get to know you, not because they're curious about you, but because they want your money. They don't just see you as a wallet with thumbs, they do so unabashedly and brazenly and aggressively.

This post wasn't about the content of what's being advertised to us. It was about the relentless, instrusive aggression with which advertising invades our privacy and personal space and every inch of public space. We are exposed to hundreds of images daily, none of which are art or even remotely creative or inspiring, but instead demand our attention and our money while ignoring that both have been stripped bare by the mere need to exist from one day to the next.

This post was about the insidious way advertising has embedded itself into culture and consciousness, so much so that in a post trying to call this out, most people's immediate reaction is, "yes, the problem is that I can't afford the thing being advertised" and not "why can't I go three seconds without being advertised to" in the first place. That advertisers continue to pour money into new ways to insert themselves into the average person's life when it's absolutely fucking pointless.
