History Tropers / Bep

* [[https://www.geekgirlauthority.com/author/jane-y-auman/ My writer tag on The Geek Girl Authority]]. I pen for the site pretty often, exclusively (at the time of this writing anyway) about anime. Check it out!

Hoo boy, where to start. I'm Jane (almost no one calls me Bep. I in fact stole the username from someone else on another site, sorry Beprepper!), usually planet Jane, planet JANE, or planet J.A.N.E. depending on whether I feel like hanging with capital letters and/or dots on that particular day. I'm a troper from The Netherlands (though I've spent the vast, ''vast'' majority of my life in Pennsylvania, The USA.) who currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. I'm a transwoman, musician, occasional livestreamer, writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and general confused layabout. I'm in my 20s, but it's impolite to ask a lady her age, you know?

I'm a transwoman, musician, occasional livestreamer, writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and general confused layabout. I'm in my mid-20s, but it's impolite to ask a lady her age, you know?

I'm all over the internet (see below). I used to make a ton of music but I'm mostly retired from that nowadays. I stream from time to time and am the resident anime contributor at The Geek Girl Authority under my to-be legal name Jane Y. Auman. I own a discord server for LGBTQ folks (and allies) to hang out on and moderate a ''second'' Discord server dedicated to anime studio Creator/StudioTRIGGER. All in all, I'm a surprisingly busy woman for someone who is perpetually between jobs, but hey, gotta keep yourself sane nowadays. We live in strange times!

* [[https://anilist.co/user/planetJane/ Anilist]]: Weirdly this might be my sort of second-most-used social media platform now. Anilist is an anime ranking site like [=MyAnimeList=], but also has a twitter-like feature called the global feed. It's an interesting place to hang out to say the least. I've reviewed a fair amount of anime and manga on the site also, if you'd like to see some of my more colorful (and less positive in some cases. Never watch ''Blood-C'') criticism.
* [[https://planetjane.bandcamp.com Bandcamp]]: I mostly make instrumental hip-hop in the vein of someone like DJShadow. I'd advise you to always start with the most recent thing on the page if you're looking to get into my music. All of my mixtapes are pay-what-you-want, though as I'm only ever sporadically employed, any amount of money you choose to donate is a massive help.
* [[https://www.twitch.tv/planetjane Twitch]]: My Twitch page! I stream only occasionally, but I'm a certified Twitch affiliate, so if you'd like, in addition to dropping a follow, you can subscribe to get access to my wonderfully witchy emotes! I usually favor casual titles I can play repeatedly (eg. The Binding of Isaac) and the like.
* [[https://discord.gg/SRD5ggC The Magic Planet]]: My Discord server (fair warning, that's an invite link over there). It has no real organizing principle, but in practice it's a place for LGBTQ+ folks and allies to hang out and just kind of shoot the breeze. You're more than welcome to join but be aware that bigotry of any kind '''is not tolerated''' and the server is extremely left-leaning politically. Again, fair warning, also see the below note about troperspeak on Heapers' Hangout.
* The [=TRIGGERcord=]: No link for this one since I don't own it. This is the other Discord server I moderate, and is focused around the works of Creator/StudioTRIGGER. If you'd like an invite drop me a PM and I'll get you one. Incidentally: the "being [=TRIGGERed=] / getting [=TRIGGERed=]" joke has been done about a trillion times, so y'know, don't.
* [[https://heapershangout.com/index.php?p=/ Heapers' Hangout]]: HH is a spinoff of this very website, founded in 2011 it's a general interest forum. It's not the most active nowadays and the community there is very tight-knit. Fair warning, I'm just about the only regular there who still has a positive opinion of TVTropes itself, so while anyone is welcome to apply to join (and in general anyone who's not a bot will be accepted), you might get poked fun at if you use troperspeak, especially excessively.

* ''From The Vault: Unheard Hip​-​Hop From The Pre​-​"Magic Planet" Days [2014 & 2015]'' (2016)

I'm all over the internet (see below). I used to make a ton of music but I'm mostly retired from that nowadays. I stream from time to time and am the resident anime contributor at The Geek Girl Authority under my to-be legal name Jane Y. Auman (the Y stands for [[{{VideoGame/Touhou}} Yakumo]]. Yes I ''am'' that much of a nerd). I own a discord server for LGBTQ folks (and allies) to hang out on and moderate a ''second'' Discord server dedicated to anime studio Creator/StudioTRIGGER. All in all, I'm a surprisingly busy woman for someone who is perpetually between jobs, but hey, gotta keep yourself sane nowadays. We live in strange times!

* [[https://planetjane.bandcamp.com Bandcamp]]: I'm retired nowadays, but I released enough music between 2009 and 2018 that there's a fair amount to check out. I mostly make instrumental hip-hop in the vein of someone like DJShadow. I'd advise you to always start with the most recent thing on the page if you're looking to get into my music. All of my mixtapes are pay-what-you-want, though as I'm only ever sporadically employed, any amount of money you choose to donate is a massive help.

* [[https://anilist.co/user/planetJane Anilist]]: I prefer Anilist to MAL personally (I have a MAL account but never use it). I do love me some anime though I tend to end up only finishing one or two per season. I don't use the social media functions of this site much at all but I do review most things I watch. I like to consider myself the Sheldon Pearce of anime reviewers.

Hoo boy, where to start. I'm Jane (almost no one calls me Bep. I in fact stole the username from someone else on another site, sorry Beprepper!), usually planet Jane, planet JANE, or planet J.A.N.E. depending on whether I feel like hanging with capital letters and/or dots on that particular day. I'm a 23 year old troper from The Netherlands (though I've spent the vast, ''vast'' majority of my life in Pennsylvania, The USA.) who currently resides in Chicago, Illinois.

I'm a 23 year old troper from The Netherlands (though I've spent the vast, ''vast'' majority of my life in Pennsylvania, The USA.) who currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. I'm a transwoman, musician, livestreamer, and confused twitter person. I don't much care for potholing anymore, so don't expect to see it on this page.

I've been using [=TVTropes=] on and off for...jeez about a decade now, and I joined the forums initially in 2009. If you'll permit me to indulge in my "end of ''Blade Runner''" voice, I've seen a lot of things go down over the years, The IJBM subforum being deleted, the legendary Google Incident that lead to all the NSFW pages being purged. I actually was ''not'' around for Fast Eddie's departure (may he shut shit down in peace), as I was indisposed at the time. Which, yeah, I was banned at one point back in about 2012 and reverted to more or less just being a wiki lurker for a good five years. So my time here has not been continuous! Still, I always wanted to say that Blixty Slycat would come back, and here I am. If you're an old friend or acquaintance I haven't talked to in a while feel free to drop me a line, I don't bite and I've mellowed out significantly over the years (though not entirely and indeed as of the time of this writing my current signature is a self-effacing joke about a tendency toward melodrama, but I mostly keep that to other corners of the internet nowadays). I also met my girlfriend here! But she doesn't use the site anymore, alas.

* The [=TRIGGERcord=]: No link for this one since I don't own it. This is the other Discord server I moderate, and is focused around the works of StudioTRIGGER. If you'd like an invite drop me a PM and I'll get you one. Incidentally: the "being [=TRIGGERed=] / getting [=TRIGGERed=]" joke has been done about a trillion times, so y'know, don't.

AKA: planet Jane, Burgundy Queen, Mo The Show, Mojave Music, Superglobe, BlixtySlycat, Spain Sun, El The Daze, [[IHaveManyNames and on, and on, and on.]] You get the picture.

AKA planet Jane, planet JANE, or planet J.A.N.E. depending on whether I feel like hanging with capital letters and/or dots on that particular day. I'm a 23 year old troper from The Netherlands (though I've spent the vast, ''vast'' majority of my life in Pennsylvania, The USA.) who currently resides in a trailer park in eastern Pennsylvania, though if all goes well I'm moving to Chicago fairly soon. I'm a transwoman, musician, livestreamer, and confused twitter person. I don't much care for potholing anymore, so don't expect to see it on this page.

I'm all over the internet (see below). I make music--a ton of music actually--mostly instrumental hip-hop but I dip into other styles too, I livestream myself and some friends playing video games, I have a weekly youtube show called ''Indie Bazaar'' where I show off indie games once a week, I own a discord server for LGBTQ folks (and allies) to hang out on and moderate a ''second'' Discord server dedicated to anime studio StudioTRIGGER. All in all, I'm a surprisingly busy woman for someone who is perpetually between jobs, but hey, gotta keep yourself sane nowadays. We live in strange times!

* [[https://planetjane.bandcamp.com Bandcamp]]: I am an absurdly prolific musician. I've been at it since 2008 or so, and release music at a pretty steady clip. I mostly make instrumental hip-hop in the vein of someone like DJShadow. I'd advise you to always start with the most recent thing on the page if you're looking to get into my music. All of my mixtapes are pay-what-you-want, though as I'm only ever sporadically employed, any amount of money you choose to donate is a massive help.
* [[https://www.twitch.tv/planetjane Twitch]]: My Twitch page! I stream twice weekly, once with a pair of friends (fellow tropers {{JHM}} and {{Tre}}) on a three-hour block show called ''Shapes & Forms'' on Fridays (from 9PM-12AM EST), and then either by myself or with my girlfriendd on Saturdays on a two-hour block called ''PJ Live''. I'm a certified Twitch affiliate, so if you'd like, in addition to dropping a follow, you can subscribe to get access to my wonderfully witchy emote!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYnDfzMox85_gF7Sg8lvJIQ Youtube]]: My Youtube channel! As aforementioned I do a weekly show called ''Indie Bazaar'' where I show off a cool indie game, so if you're into that sort of thing, give it a look. Livestream VODs from Twitch go here too.
* [[https://discord.gg/PZN3kJj The Magic Planet]]: My Discord server (fair warning, that's an invite link over there). It has no real organizing principle, but in practice it's a place for LGBTQ+ folks and allies to hang out and just kind of shoot the breeze. You're more than welcome to join but be aware that bigotry of any kind '''is not tolerated''' and the server is extremely left-leaning politically. Again, fair warning.
