If you're new here, hello! I go by Ari💖
I'm a full time content creator that focusses on balancing deeper themed discussions with a chaotically silly atmosphere & I cosplay characters throughout the games I play✨
I am available for:
💜Guesting at conventions & helping…
I had a long time supporter of mine message me & tell me that they get bored easily in my streams now,
& I was thinking about how this would have bothered me back in the day, because I've never had someone ever message me this before in my entire time as a streamer,
But instead…
No matter what happens I'm just thankful that we got to this point ♥️ Thank you so much for all the amazing years & I'm expecting a rejection but we'll see happens 🥹
Sorry for the spelling mistakes I'm freaked out.
Am I in the wrong for freaking out that someone messaged me on one of my pages and said "hey I'm here in your town" like, it's kind of creepy right?
Probably could have handled this better but this really shook me up & I got...
My ex said I don't have the face shape to cosplay Aerith or Tifa.
& now I'm thinking about cosplaying both of them & trying as hard as I can to bring them to life out of spite.
I know my face shape isn't "ideal" & I don't think I can ever forget this insult tbh
To my ex that said I didn't have the face shape for Aerith, 🖕🎉
I still feel anxious cosplaying as her, it's been about a month, going to cosplay her tomorrow on stream for the finale of FFVII ❤️❤️❤️
To be honest, I didn't think I'd end up loving Aerith so much, but I feel…
Neurodivergent friends,
Do you ever listen to the same song on repeat 80 times?
I find this happens to me a lot. I have a theme song starting every week out lol.
What's your theme song of the week this week? I'll give it a
listen 💖
I never saw myself making it to 30, so everything feels surreal, but here we are 🎉
⚠️trigger warning ⚠️
I grew so much in 1 year, & not just 1, several. The last photo was around 2 months after the attempt on my bday. I was on Lamictal for Bipolar Disorder. September, shortly…
Last night on stream we had a heavy discussion about betrayal & hurt from boundaries being crossed by friends we thought we could trust on Twitch.
I've had friends message me before asking for help/wanting to quit because a long time community member(s) disrespected them and…
I noticed I lost followers when I posted my Pride 🌈🏳️🌈 post, so
Happy Pride Again 🌈✨
I'd like to just double check & make sure if there's more that they unfollow me,
Love is Love 💖
Celebrate it ✨🎉
Team Lulu forever, I mean team Goth Mommy 💜 This was the most difficult cosplay I've done, feels so satisfying to be done with her 💖 Diving into more FFX 1st playthrough as Lulu, see you in 10 minutes friends 💞
Someone that had terminal cancer use to watch my TikTok lives.
I took a break from posting to TikTok due to what I've been going through lately with some challenges & decided to come back today. .
Their brother came into my live & told me they had passed. Said that they wrote…
⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️
The comments on this make me so sick. All it takes is a quick Google search. . .
& Regardless this should still be taken seriously even if the statistics were off. . .
Having been part of both these statistics I find the lack of compassion on this post…
Over 50% of women have experienced sexual violence (physical).
25% of women have experienced completed or attempted rape.
These are more than just words. These are real experiences so many of us have had to suffer through.
This is why we choose the bear. We aren’t safe.
"You don't deserve Partner" & "They made the requirements easier to get Partner" I've been hearing lately behind my back.
1st of all, Say it to my face.
I can take it. I've been studying for my Bachelor's in CIS & I'm used to being discredited or told that I don't know much…
I've been busy IRL getting my credits & everything ready for graduation, but also because. . .
I have a boyfriend IRL ❤️
I have been talking about seeing him IRL for the past month on streams too.
I've known him since 2019 & he's been one of my closest friends since then,
Yes…
Also, 1 year ago today, I found out my ex was a compulsive liar, & that I was the side piece all along & that there was another girl as his main.
Look at this Glow up though. It's wild to see the self growth & confidence I've gained in 1 year alone ya'll 🥹🎉
These 2 people…
Women belong in the gaming space just as much as men do & if you enable hostile behavior towards women please unfollow me right now. Thank you
Women also deserve a basic level of respect when speaking out on issues like this & in general like all human beings do. Change can't…
Taking a break.
Tbh, I've been struggling to feel like I'm worthy of being alive lately
I've been upset by how I've been treated by some people in other communities. I've kept quiet about it, but the anger keeps building, so I'm stepping away.
Be back later.
1st Costest I have felt beautiful in without makeup on, baby steps ❤️
Should I wear this on stream tomorrow during the FFVII VAing?
It fits but my 🍑 & 🥥🥥 struggle to fit 🫣 Couple things I need to fix before doing a shoot of Tifa 💞
Kingdom Hearts got me through so much growing up & the deeper themes in this series are absolutely phenomenal & I am always down to discuss them 💖
I love how one of the main themes is duality, & accepting both sides of yourself,
"The closer you get to the light, the greater…
I've been torn on announcing this, been told not to do this from some friends, while others say to do it, so here's what I'll do
I am pushing for Partner 💖
But in a different kind of way. It'll be a very casual push.
I am writing/posting this goal because I strongly think…
✨Super Secret Surprise Shoot✨
Can you guess the character? 💖
Working with a friend of mine, he 3D printed this cosplay
@OMEntertainment
It's super light weight & easy to wear 💞✨
Friendly Reminder,
There are people out there that will celebrate you, include you, adore you, and will make time for you 💖 Don't ever settle for less 💞
I've been seeing posts about cliques lately on Twitch, & I want you to know that there are people out there that will…
Apologies if I don't talk much in Twitch chats sometimes & lurk a lot instead. I know it may not look like it, but I have really bad anxiety, & some days my brain is all
"Nobody likes you Ari stop talking."
It's the worst 🫠 but please know I'm there just quiet 🥺👉👈💖

Happy International Men's Day 💙
Take a moment today to reflect on all the amazing men in your life & remind them how incredible they are.

Important Please Read ❗
If you know my assigned name at birth please don't call me it.
I've been trying to get people to stop calling me it for years.
I don't associate with that name anymore due to trauma.
Please only call me Ari.
Thank you 💖
Very thankful & honored

I can't wait to get to know everyone more 💖 There are so many inspiring & incredible women in here 🥹❤️❤️❤️
Honestly it's still taking me a while to process, doesn't feel real, thank you so much again 💖
If you see me liking your tweets it's because I have mega golden retriever energy

It's a good thing I promise
If you want me to stop liking your tweets let me know 🥹👉👈
Would you have ☕ with me? 💖
Body Dysmorphia has been reallllly bad lately 🤠 hence the lack of cosplay photos 😅
Talked about body dysmorphia this week too, what are some things you do to help? I'm trying no makeup photos, might delete this later tbh.
Also, I need more FF…
Reason for Break:
All I want is to heal & stop hurting over this. All I've tried to do is what's best for my community.
This is why I'm hesitant to let people in, I'm trying though. .
I really hope these people can leave me alone now.
Putting full screenshots in comments.
Canceling my stream today
Nobody talks about how when you hit Partner many people leave after you get the Purple Checkmark.
I know there are things that I should be thankful for and I am. I'm thankful for hitting that milestone.
I have abandonment trauma and dealing with this…
💖 HAPPY MARIO MOVIE RELEASE DAY! 💖 In honor of this movie coming out today, I decided to costest my Bowsette 🎉 I've had many people over the years asking me to cosplay this character, & I finally caved in. I love this one so much, thinking about wearing this to cons❤️
Sometimes I feel bad because I end up lurking a lot due to getting over stimulated. .
For example, yesterday I lurked in a bunch of friend's streams & didn't say anything.
I wish I could be social more sometimes. . I do try & support my friend's as much as possible ❤️
If you saw me outside tonight would you say hi & talk to me about the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 that has a free trial & includes a realm reborn & the award winning Heavensward expansion up to levl 60 with no restrictions on play time? 👀 Be honest ❤️
You might…
I am honestly speechless & trying to fully process today 💖
When I first started streaming on this platform I was told in 2018 that I wouldn't get anywhere as someone that discusses mental health openly & deeper discussions, I was told that Twitch isn't the place for that.
I…
Advertise your account with 1 cosplay ❤️
I've cosplayed over 50 characters so this was hard. .
But I'm picking this Tifa photo because I'll never forget how beautiful this shot helped me feel after my body dysmorphia was really affecting me.
Spicy cosplay photos should be…

I guess 1 year can really change a person💖. . 1 year ago I was still pretty shy, you can see it here. 😅
Honestly, I love being able to express myself as creatively as possible, & hearing from others that I help them gain the courage to do that too makes my heart so happy💞…
Thank you so much. I can't say thank you enough. This is a dream I have fought so hard for & without you it wouldn't have been possible.💖 5 years ago friends abandoned me & family looked down on me for doing content creation. I fought so hard for years, & without you, I wouldn't…
Brain was telling me to cancel at the start but very thankful I pushed through ❤️ Thank you so much for 13 hours of fun & memories I'll never forget. I'm going to remember this day for the rest of my life 💞 Apologies for bed scuffed pic, almost forgot to take photo and was in…
I'm usually private with relationships. .
But I just found out the person I had been seeing for a year was cheating on me the entire time, ever since the relationship began.
Trying my best to keep things together right now
My community funded a new PC for me & I've been over the moon 😭❤️
I'm extremely extremely thankful ❤️
I've always been the kind of person that will do everything myself & struggle, I always thought I'd be a burden if I ever asked for help.
I've been learning that it's okay to…
I got in to Twitch successfully 💜 Thank you so much everyone
However, I'm going to be spending all day updating my passwords and requesting new cards and everything so I'll come back to streaming on Tuesday.

In 2019 I was on Tinder with my self built PC as my profile pic, nothing else, I didn't know how to use Tinder, & he hit yes on me.
We matched, but decided to be friends, & then became
best friends 💖

I had to file my first safety report tonight on Twitch. I have an ex viewer that is upset that I won't date them & is threatening me. I may end up taking a small break from streaming.

Can you guess which one?
One dress has arrived, the other is coming in soon ❤️ Very excited to be able to do these 2 in their strawberry dresses…
This needs to be said,
If you become a mod with the intention of trying to romantically get with a streamer it's parasocial & inappropriate.
Finding out one of my longest mods of all time was only nice to me because they wanted some kind of fantasy relationship with me. . .
My…
They say around 25 is when you "peak." I'd have to disagree. For me, I think it's closer to 30 ❤️
So much has changed. Sometimes I'm scared this is all a dream. Thank you for helping make my life more magical & helping me find self love.
The Elitism in the retro space is something that needs to be talked about more.
It's made me realize that some people are so far removed from reality that they will not let you experience a game for the 1st time, that they only want you to play it their way.
We banned someone…
I apologize.
I let the words of someone I loved affect me & shrink me.
Never Again.
If I'm a "try hard" then so be it.
I plan every event in my community and go all out for it as if it were the last event that I'd have with someone. . because you never know when it will be…

About Parasocial relationships,
I got news that someone that I don't even know hates me because I'm friends with another streamer.
& All I gotta say is, if hating someone that you don't know brings you genuine happiness, then so be it. Feel free to hate me🫂
Feel free to. . .
I don't talk about this openly enough. . .
Nobody talks about the frustrations of being a costumer and working really hard on making an original character come to life and then waking up at 5:00 a.m. for a shoot but misplacing one of the most fundamental parts of your costume…
I'm going to continue getting to know others, even if it's scary, even if my trust is hurt, not everyone is the same 💖 I won't let this experience jade me to new opportunities or beautiful friendships 💞🌟
I have COVID, so no stream today. I will be back on Tuesday with more FFX 💖
I'm getting better each day, so please don't worry. Wishing everyone a wonderful start to their week 🫂💖
