Independent Animator and Artist

@arianimates

Howdy, I'm Ari! I'm an adult and I draw and animate characters from my animated series Respiritgina!

Hiya, I’m Ari!

Hey there, welcome to my blog!

I usually don’t upload much here, but I’ll try my best!

Anywho, the posts I’ll usually make are about my indie animated series, Respiritgina.

What is Respiritgina?

Respiritgina is an independant animated series following the journey of Casey Walker, a 16 year-old human transported to the fantasy world of Respiritgina along with his father. After accidentally releasing an ancient evil creature known as Necroir, Casey must journey through this unfamiliar world to defeat the evil once and for all. 

So far, there is a whole first season and a season 2 trailer out, with the first episode of season two on the way!

(The first 5 episodes are shorter and do not have voice acting, however the ones after do!)

As of 7/29/2024 my commissions are OPEN!

Cashapp only!

DM me for more details

FAQ:

Q: What ages is Respiritgina for?

A: It's for people of all ages, although some episodes will have more serious content than the others. I'll be sure to put respective warnings for those episodes.

Q: What do you use to animate?

A: I use Flipaclip to animate, Ibis Paint X to draw, and Capcut to edit.

Q: How long have you been drawing/animating?

A: I’ve been drawing for 10 years, and animating for about 5 years!

That should be it! Enjoy!

The people who try to defend Micheal and Nichol (Jax and Zooble’s respective VAs) with the “But IT WAS 7 YEARS AGO” fail to realize that the the aforementioned two also made N-word jokes recently during a livestream of the song, “Jax Toy”, which, as of the time I’m writing this, was released last year. Neither of them changed until all those livestream clips surfaced

(Plus it doesn’t matter that it “was 7 years ago”. Kovach and Nichole still fucked up)

So I'm not sure, if anyone sent asks of the current TADC voice cast situation yet.

Two separate clips from two different 2019 livestreams of Michael Kovach (Jax's voice actor) and Ashley Nichols (Zooble's voice actor) resurfaced of them laughing and attempting to say "negative" in half which sounded like N-slur. In one of the chats of these streams, the creator Gooseworx typed it and encouraged them. All parties are white and were already grown adults at time.

Both apologized. It's reported that Gooseworx reacted horribly (She might have deleted her response since I can't find it.). One of their colleague Alex Rochen (Caine's voice actor) only vagueposted about the situation by resharing a post to his Bluesky that's "it's hard to call out longtime friends."

Also, the rest of the main voice cast have been quiet about the racism and most of them, in the past, collaborated with a music producer: Black Gryph0n, who is an alleged known groomer, (Met his wife when she was 14-15 and he was 20.) Marissa Lenti (Gangle's voice actor) is the only one currently who addressed the collaboration, but is silent about the racism.

So outside of the fandom's racist human portrayals, that happened.

So, what are y'all as the fans gonna do?

Are y'all gonna move a la the Parry Hotter fans, where you claim that you're "reclaiming" the characters from the creator? While still supporting the IP? Because "I just have such a history and connection with these characters"?

Are y'all gonna stop supporting altogether? At least until amends and reparations towards Black fans are offered and delivered? Is this where the line got crossed, no matter what? I say this because I feel like if this is what got dropped in 2019, there's probably a lot more going on that has been overlooked?

I guess it's time to see what happens, if overt antiblackness and grooming are enough to sacrifice entertainment. Let me clarify, if being exposed for being antiblack is enough to sacrifice entertainment. Because while I'm saying these things as if the choice is easy, you would not believe how many people would forgive this situation and fight to the death if these folks dropped a tearful half-apology to white viewership. White solidarity is a powerful son of a bitch!

So, what are y'all as the fans gonna do? 👀

Hey maybe when you tell people to keys without the e, call other black people a slur for not liking you making one thing your entire personality, refusing to block minors when your account is full of suggestive content, having one of your alters talk in broken English and be borderline racist, whitewashing your own ocs and making racist depictions of the people you are trying to represent, maybe it's no wonder that your account is gone

Don't be a piece of shit my god
