one of my first positive experiences as a trans woman was a while ago when i cosplayed god tier aradia at otakon during peak fandom. i, too, came to live again that weekend! so aradia will always have a special place in my heart, i love how much she is. free from the anxieties of the narrative at all times.
her smile reminds me of dale cooper from twin peaks
aradia is just such an interesting character in so many ways. we are literally first introduced to her after she had already died which added such a mysterious element to her character and as the comic progressed, we got to watch her personality grow and evolve. part of me wishes she was more prevalent in the story because i love her dialogue and personality but i also love that her character is saved for very intentional and important aspects of the story. it lets her keep that special, mysterious feeling.
i'm fujoshing out
i love aradia with all of my heart and soul. she's not just my favorite homestuck character, but my favorite character in media. ever. she is so so so special to me. her story, her character, everything. it's hard to describe how much i love aradia. my social cues icon. my muse. my weird girl. my sole light in this world
