the most normal person ever. i am 100% totally normal why would you think otherwise header image by @tanzdoesthings!!

Hello!! I'm Ardieno the Sieno, also known as Ardie, and I use he/they pronouns (but I switch up my pronoun preferences pretty often) :)

I currently have severe brain rot for Hermitcraft and the Life Series, Rain World, In Stars and Time, Wings of Fire, Dungeons and Dragons, Slay the Princess, Hollow Knight, Celeste, and I am very much so normal about my OCs. I am collecting fandoms like pokemon cards nbgvfbhnjbvg

Tumblr is my happy place, I come onto here to escape from the real world. Please don't tag me in donation posts or asks, or any political posts that explicitly call for certain action. I'm not ever intentionally trying to upset anyone, make anyone uncomfortable, or start drama. If I accidentally do, I'm so sorry. Additionally, my blog is my space. If you don't like what I choose to put here, the door is right over there.

#oc -- All of my stuff in one tag!

#my art -- Art that I am actually somewhat proud of #doodles -- Moderate-effort drawings that exist #scribbles -- Really bad drawings that I posted cause why not #writing -- The stuff I've written #animation -- I attempt to animate sometimes. With varying results.

#gift -- Stuff other people have made for me!!!!

Imp and Skizz flirt with,,,,,, each other????? But it doesn't count because it's in a video game (slight clickbait but less than you might think)

I imagine rens tail constantly betrays his cool dude persona he’s trying to put on. like he’s being all charismatic and smooth-talking with martyn, a smirk on his face, but his tail is just wagging like fucking crazy behind him constantly.

also he loved ear scritches, no one can change my mind.

Martyn: I'll be real, I've nothing against crying, but. I just don't wanna have red eyes, y'know what I mean? (three seconds of silence) Mm. I already cried last night, in the bar as well. (he laughs) I'm a state whenever I come away on these trips. I think it's just because I just realize the impact of what we do. I'm very…appreciative of the position that I have, and…the trust that people have in me. Not only you guys, but the Hermits as well. Like. It was Tango who got me last night. Tango was like, "yeah, you know, when we were concepting this event, um, and we wanted to have you on board," he was like, he was like, "I just want you to really know that like, we didn't just want someone for a role," he was like, "we wanted you." The-he-I--he was like, "it wasn't like a, 'oh, who's gonna read the donations,' it was like, well no. We just want Martyn there. Like, we think he could bring a lot to it." And I was like, "ooh." And that--that really got me. It's getting me again. Oh, god. Mmmmmmm. (sniffs) But yeah, very sweet. Very very sweet. It's good. But yeah, I'm gonna be a state, all weekend. I always am. I always am, at these things. Ugh.

I understand more and more things about cisgender men the longer I’m on testosterone. I know why teenage boys use so much axe now. I understand the crying thing. I know why they accidentally break things. I know why they wear shorts in the snow. I know why so many of them don’t use washcloths. I see everything.

Okay. Y’all want explainations? I’ll tell you all the things.

  • Testosterone makes you warm. With young men especially it can actually get really uncomfortable while their testosterone levels are at their peak. Often times coats and winter pants will keep in all their heat and it gets uncomfortable. So it makes sense to pick a part of the body to be exposed to help them stay cool. The legs tend to be the least uncomfortable part of the body to feel cold on. The arms are uncomfortable, the face hurts when it gets cold, and the torso is where all the important stuff is. It doesn’t actually hurt that much to have your lower legs exposed and there’s no important organs there so that’s what they go with to keep themselves from overheating in their winter jackets. Along this same vein, they might take their shirts off to jog or just have a naked torso in general during the summer because they’re in more danger of overheating than estrogen dominant people. Older men, children, and estrogen dominant people tend to do this stuff less because they have less testosterone and are therefore colder.
  • The axe thing is because of testosterone as well. Early on in puberty especially and into adulthood as well boys and men will stink no matter how hard they try. People often complain about how men don’t shower enough and while there is some truth to that testosterone makes you sweaty and it makes your smell last longer. It doesn’t smell worse than women’s BO, but it is harder to get rid of and easier to get. Before I started taking T I could get away with taking a shower every other day or even every three days. Now I have to take a shower every day. And some days when I shower, put on deodorant, put body spray on my clothes, avoid heavy physical activity, I still end up smelling awful. I just smell bad and there’s only so much I can do about it and that bottle of axe starts looking really tempting.
  • With crying? Testosterone just makes you cry less. You still feel all the same emotions. You just don’t cry as much. Men are often socialized to not cry, yes, but even those who haven’t been taught that still cry less. That’s just how testosterone works. They hit puberty and then it’s just harder to cry. It doesn’t necessarily mean they feel less than estrogen dominant people or that they’re repressed. They just have a different physical reaction to emotion.
  • They accidentally break things because testosterone makes it easier to gain muscle. Sometimes you even do it without meaning to. I already accidentally grabbed or slammed things too hard. Now I have to consciously be gentle. Some people forget about being gentle for a split second. Then things break. Sometimes I look at my hands now like what the hell did I just do. Relearning how to know my own strength. It’s a learning process.
  • The thing where some men don’t use washcloths and use their hands or a bar of soap instead isn’t because they’re lazy. It’s because they’re covered in hair and the washcloth pulls at it. It’s really uncomfortable actually.

Op have you felt the urge to slap the top of the doorframe yet?

OKAY I REALLY WANNA KNOW THAT TOO WHY DO THEY DO THAT???

That one is to test how tall they’re getting. Men are on average six inches taller than women and it’s fun when you get really tall and can reach stuff you never could before. Once they’re done growing it’s either to demonstrate how tall they are to other people or just because it’s fun. Jumping is fun and slapping the doorframe demonstrates both your height and how high you can jump, or if you’re so tall you don’t need to jump. Hitting stuff is fun too when nobody gets hurt from it. I did that even before I started T lol. I stopped growing before I started T but I still do it because it’s fun. It’s just one of life’s little joys. For a lot of people it also just becomes a habit. Like tapping on a desk when you’re thinking or giving your friend a high five whenever you pass them.

wow I appreciate knowing this so much

Most people: ā€œHuh, looks like it’s about impossible to guess the difference between biological and socialized gender behaviors. Let’s just pick a few semi-plausible generalizations and shame everyone whoā€“ā€

Trans people on hormone therapy, finally in a culture that sometimes lets them talk a little bit: ā€œOH HEY SO IT’S STILL ALL SUBJECTIVE AND COMPLICATED, BUT WE HAVE SOME VERY PRECISE POINTS OF INFORMATION FOR YOU.ā€

Most people:Ā ā€œOh shit that’s useful.ā€

a couple of us psychopaths had an after after after party in scar's chat like two hours after the stream ended

skateboarding bigfoot

and then we attempted to sing the double life song

twitch chat wouldnt let me scroll up far enough to screenshot the first half of the song >:( but we did do the whole thing lol
