Woke up this morning to the drama unfolding between ariaste and scottlynch78.
While I can’t say much about the character or personality of scott, I have many things about ari. I read through their account of everything, and while I really don’t want to “not believe the victim,” I believe there’s a lot more going on than the picture they’re painting. Honestly I think both parties are probably in the wrong and there was a whole miscommunication jumble toward feelings and intentions.
But I just wanted to scream my small opinion on the matter into the void.
So when I first joined this hell site back in 2011, I was looking for blogs that had similar interests and found the gentleman bastard fandom. In the beginning, we would all kind of post and reblog of course the same content and yadda yadda. At some point, Ari kinda became the figurehead of the whole fandom, finding new members, connecting everyone, coming up with content ideas, etc. at some point the chat was started (I think they also started that) p cool to be able to connect with so many people around the world that loved these books.
Anyway, that’s kind of where I first met Ari. I can’t remember if it was through tumblrs shitty messaging system or private messages on the chat, but we discussed my interest in LARPing and SCA. I told them where I was from and apparently they had an ex that was in the same LARP or SCA Region and they told me I should go give him a good beating and tell him they send their regards (which at the time was a little weird, but I kind of considered them a friend, so I brushed it off and we laughed about it. In hindsight, I’m wondering if this guy was as terrible as they made him seem).
The fandom went on and expanded to where a website was created. And things were good for a while. Then there was some event that happened in the fandom that they were vague blogging about and wouldn’t tell anyone what was going on. I privately messaged them and said ‘hey I don’t know what happened, but I just want you to know I’m here for you. Sending internet hugs’ and they put me on blast for “trying to get the good gossip”. That’s when I lost all respect for them.
I think there was an incident as well where they had dated another fandom member and things went sour—but I don’t know many details there.
Since then they’ve been publishing books and living life.
So seeing the account from them puts a lot of serious doubt in my mind as to what was really going on. Like, if it was any other member of the fandom saying this, I wouldn’t have this doubt. In my personal experience, Ari wants to be in control of everything, and shoots you down if you get in their way. And they’ve got another book on the way.

FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD PUNK ASS ARCHIVIST HERE WITH A MESSAGE
if you cannot protest or donate, and you’ve been retweeting and reblogging your ass off, here’s another thing you can do from home to help out later on down the line.
we are dealing with a fascist police state. fascists love nothing more than controlling the media and taking away primary sources of their evildoing, so lets take some steps toward taking that power away from them.
the wayback machine is a tool from the internet archive, a nonprofit website that seeks to capture websites as they change over time. the wayback machine is free to use and will be able to help protect all of the first-person accounts of the crimes being committed by the state during these protests for human rights.
this is what the homescreen of the wayback machine looks like:

that blue circle is where you put a permalink to a tweet you want to add to the wayback machine

that red circle is how you find the permalink to a tweet. click “copy link to tweet” and put it in the blue circle above, and there you have it! save what you see. don’t let anyone take away all of the documentation of these crimes the state has committed and declare it fake news.
fuck the cops. fuck orange mussolini. fuck racists, and fuck fascist government regimes.
dont forget: there’s nothing more punk than voting, libraries, and loving each other.

the fact that there's an 8 fucking pm curfew in new york is so unfathomably insane to me. like, a city of 8 million or whatever all has to go home when the sun is barely down because cops are that addicted to upholding white supremacy? i was out and some cop drove by and said thru his loudspeaker "go home! what are you still doing out!" what are you doing driving around in a caravan with your lights on fucking harassing people in the street? get a real fucking job

These were all murders. They were not accidental. All of these innocent people: men, women AND children. Were murdered because they were black. Not because they were violent. Not because they were threatening, but because they were black. Something has to change. We have to MAKE a change. Black lives matter. Black men. Black women. Black children. Non-Binary blacks. Trans blacks. Every single one of their lives matter. Your friends. Your neighbors. Your teachers. Your brothers. Your sisters. We are the change.
——————
this list isn’t even close to a being a quarter of the wrongful African American deaths in America and if there is anyone you’d like me to add please message me. I will gladly add them because people deserve to know their names.

People need to realize when you meet a person with a big heart they are also a person filled with uncontrollable rage towards the world
Like yes I will comfort a sad person when they need it
I will also drop kick a nazi to the moon

Whatever comes of these protests, the game has been changed.
Even if this doesn’t materialize into longterm victory *right now*, everyone in America is now acutely aware that the police can be beaten and that cop shops can be stormed and razed.
The game is afoot, space cadets.
