About

[EDIT May 2026: I'm now most active over at Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki. Please message me there if you have something urgent to discuss.]

Figured I might be better served making an "About me" pinned post, since I'm not sure how many people actually bother to click through and read my actual "About" page.

Anyway, hi, I'm emiliers. A certified Adult™ (1994). Taiwanese American. Aromantic, asexual, and agender. She/any. I guess politically I'm mostly an anarchist? I'm also an SFF fan, and you can probably convince me to watch/read anything with "SFF featuring a queer character of color".

This Tumblr started as a general fandom blog for anime/manga back in... late 2009? These days, it's mostly politics and social justice stuff. While I'll post about serious topics fairly often, I make a point never to post/reblog any explicit imagery (whether that be graphic depictions of sex or violence).

Probably the most interesting thing I keep around (on Wordpress) is this manga rec list of queer characters. I update it whenever I come across something new I enjoyed.

I also occasionally translate bad Chinese webnovels during my free time, though recently I've put that on hold to follow my true passion -- translating vocal synth songs.

When I'm not either reading manga or gracing the world with silly translations, I'm probably gacha gaming, but I generally try not to talk about that hobby too often except with friends.

I don't have a "DNI" list or anything, but know that I auto-block anyone who has a legitimately harmful ideology. So, no TERFs, SWERFs, white supremacists, exclusionists, tankies, etc.

If you want more information about me, my Carrd has mostly everything relevant.

hi! thank you for your translation of “我 是，女 孩 。” by 停电前夜 !!! I think I have the answer to your first footnote for the line “去把那育音堂晚上”; it probably refers to the origins of one of the producer's other songs, “行为矫正ROCK！！！”, which are detailed in that song's description:

上一个秋天的某日，在剧烈的幻听里，连手机都没带就离家出走了，将他人的咆哮置之脑后，抱着大不了就去死的念头，漫无目的地乘上电车。背包干瘪瘪的，支撑正常人类存活的东西一概没有，有的只是三本说不上劝人向善的书和一张蘑菇帝国的唱片，可是吧，也许正是那劣质耳机中的摇滚音墙才勉强控制住我不在来来往往的人群中失去理智，跳下月台。再次回过神的时候，发现自己已经坐在育音堂门前的高脚凳上了。因为没有钱，所以完全没办法买票进去看live，但即使在那满是寒意的夜晚，心脏也仍旧听清了，塑料门帘背面只会属于摇滚乐的，粗糙但顽强的生命力。“在跳向驶来的电车之前，一定要做出这样的音乐啊”，抱着如此的想法写下了这首歌。 即使我这样说，这歌曲其实也根本不是什么大不了的事情，不过是被写烂了的王道日摇罢了。可今天上午卡着点收到混音文件的时候，果不其然，我还是哭了出来。刚刚在宛平南路附近做完个体治疗，同过去所有的治疗一样，咨询师依然完全没有给出什么建设性的意见。我乘着和那一天同样的线路，看着城市从身后略过，似乎一切都与我无关了。我这才发现，其实什么都没有改变过，要硬是说有什么变了，那或许是，本来预备着写完这样的歌就去死的，而当这旋律真正完成的时候，我想，为了你，我要活下去 “下一站，延安西路，开右边门” 欢迎二创！这里是停电前夜

if not the 育音堂 that you linked, i would bet it refers to some other live music venue where she ended up that night... unless you already knew all this and your note was just about how to translate it knowing that, in which case i'm very sorry🙏

i also wanted to ask about your interpretation of the other note on the line “消失在水中他也不會回答”; i had always heard the ending as just “啊，對不起”, and read “他” as her old body/self as it sinks, becomes fossilized, and turns to ash, from which she grows. am i mishearing the end of the song? it's been a long time since i spoke chinese so i wouldn't be surprised lol but i kind of liked my interpretation

thank you again for your translation! it's one of my favorite songs

Thank you for the explanation! I heard their previous song, but I didn't actually read the description, oops. The sentence actually still makes no sense in light of that, since it's missing a verb, but it's good to know that Yuyintang really was what is being referred to!

As for the final line, you're right. I relistened to it, and I think it can go either way. Since there's no confirmation either way, I'll remove that footnote and just leave the "he" up for interpretation.

Thank you for messaging me about this! I genuinely appreciate it!

[photonic-instant]

thank you for your answer!! i also had a lot of trouble understanding that verse; my thought was that the verb is 殺了 in the lines afterwards, and 全都 refers to "那育音堂晚上", "那序言圓滿上", and "他們" (so it would be something like "Take that night at Yuyintang, / Take that perfect prelude, / Take them, and kill them all"), so the 去把 would be to mirror the structure in all 3 concepts, but it's definitely a stretch. i talked to one of my friends about it and we decided upon this is probably our best guess (or at least they couldn't think of any other explanation), but still a mystery... plus the mystery of who 他們 is here lol

[emiliers]

Oops only just saw this now.

I definitely considered the possibility of the verb being in the following lines instead, especially while I was workshopping the lines with some folks over at the VLW discord! But I ultimately decided against it since the 上 used in the following line really seemed like it was verbing 圓滿, especially with the 去把 in front of it... In which case, it'd indicate that a verb should be in the initial 育音堂 line too, since they're clearly meant to be parallel lines.

I do agree that the sentences would probably make more sense if 殺了 was the verb, but so much of the grammar seems to disagree... Like the aforementioned 圓滿上, the ambiguous 他們 (where it feels like it'd make more sense as 它們 if the 全都 was actually referring to the above sentences...), etc. (I also ended up reading 他們 as a reference to the following stanzas -- as in, referring to the people accusing her of being "wrong" in some way.)

That's why I ultimately translated it pretending there's a verb in the first sentence, haha, since that seemed like the simplest solution to this conundrum to me. Of course, like you, I'm genuinely not sure if I'm reading it right, and it also definitely involves me making a leap/assumptions.

Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki is Migrating to Miraheze!

Been a while since I made an actual original post, and not sure how many of my original followers are still here (or even care about this kind of thing, considering I'm mainly a politics blog nowadays, but you know, this is basically the only social media platform I have anymore, not counting Discord).

Anyway, for the past few years, I've picked up a CN -> EN fan translating hobby and have been sporadically translating some vocal synth songs, posted at my own Wordpress as well as the Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki. Those who were in the fandom in the 2010s have probably heard of the wiki before, since it was basically the main hub of translation activity back then.

Well, almost fifteen years later, it's still going strong! And, with recent changes in implementation to Fandom policy, the wiki has finally decided to throw off the shackles of Fandom webhosting and move to Miraheze instead. I'll copy-paste the blurb I wrote for other vocal synth wiki discord servers about this:

Hi, so some folks might be aware of this already, but Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki has migrated to a new site on Miraheze. The admins of VLW has written a Google Doc explaining in detail the whys of the migration, if you want to check it out, but the long and short of it is that the new policy on lyrics removal has made our stay on Fandom untenable. Miraheze, in contrast, has agreed to host us and been much more transparent on actual policy. And, since they're on a newer MediaWiki installation with much more freedom in terms of what extensions we can install, we've been able to implement new templates and quality of life improvements on the new wiki! There's still a few kinks to work out on the new wiki, but we're open for editing now! Feel free to spread this message to other relevant servers/websites (with the exception of the old Fandom wiki -- the admins are planning on making an announcement themselves over there, once they're ready). And if you have any further questions, you can join our Discord or comment on our General Discussion page on the new wiki.

I am 100% biased because I helped with the migration (and have been wanting to move off Fandom for ages now), but I think the new site looks great!! And if anyone ever visited the old site and went "wow Fandom sucks, clicking back immediately", now you don't have to do that!

I'm also Emiliers on there -- as I am everywhere -- so feel free to hit me up!

My name is Abed.

I’m a survivor from Gaza, holding on to hope in a world that has fallen apart around me. 💔

The life I once knew — my home, my family, my sense of safety — has been shattered by war. Today, I live among the ruins, trying to find a path forward through the rubble and heartbreak. 🏚

Every moment is a battle against fear and uncertainty. What was once ordinary — a safe place to sleep, a future to dream of — now feels like a distant memory. 🕊️

I share my story not to seek pity, but to keep hope alive — to believe that even in the darkest places, kindness can still find a way. 🤍

If my story touches your heart, please consider sharing it or offering support. Every voice, every act of care, brings me one step closer to safety. ✨

Thank you for taking the time to listen. 🙏

Hi there 🌱 I hope you are doing well. My name is Naser, and I’m from Gaza. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but I wanted to share a piece of my story — because right now, it’s the only way I know to try and survive.

This war has changed everything. I lost my mother and my sister. Our home is gone. What used to be a normal life — school, family meals, laughter — has been replaced by fear, rubble, and silence.

Now, I’m displaced with my three younger brothers. I’ve become their protector, their parent, their hope. We sleep side by side and I try to make them feel safe, even when I’m scared too.

We are trying to raise funds to rebuild our lives — to find a safe place, to go back to school, to have something to believe in again. I dream of going to university. My brothers have their own dreams too — of being a doctor, an engineer, just being kids again.

if someone is beating you with a stick and you say "stop please" and people are like "please articulate the details exactly how you want society to function without that guy beating you with a stick" you are under no obligation to answer.

while the work of envisioning society without police is worthwhile, it is not necessary that each of us have it at the tip of our tongues, it is easy enough to say "not this."

because, after all, the goal is not to, as individuals or some vanguard, have the answers, the goal is to solve these problems and build new societies as a society, collectively, we offer processes, not answers.

the answers, we'll figure them out together, for now, abolish the police, we are not safer for having an armed gang that enacts racist violence with impunity.

The dogwhistle & the response

I think it’s important to understand how groups like TERFs use dogwhistles AND our response to dogwhistles as part of their recruitment. I’ll try to explain how that works.

Remember that a dogwhistle is designed to sound reasonable to someone uninformed on the topic, and absolutely infuriating to someone who recognized its function as a dogwhistle. ‘queer is a slur’ for example, seems perfectly reasonable if you are unfamiliar with the way the phrase is being utilized to push back inclusivity in LGBTIA+ and queer spaces by about 30 years.

So let’s say 10 people unfamiliar with that,  start copying ‘queer is a slur’ because it sounds reasonable and they feel genuine concern for lgbt people who get called slurs. These could be young people, but they could just as easily be middle aged. They could be in any axis of privilege or oppression. Familiarity with dogwhistles isn’t that widespread.

Some of those people may encounter someone who points them in the direction of a good explanation of why queer has been reclaimed decades ago and how vile the hidden agenda of ‘queer is a slur’ is and they’re learn. Some others of those people will meet a queer person who is tired and out of spoons and understandably hurt because they see TERF dogwhistles everywhere, and that person will shout at them. If this takes place on twitter, 50 people will reblog the shouting for performativity points.

Ideally, the person who got shouted at will learn, but that’s rarely how humans work. When someone shouts at us in front of a crowd, most of us just get upset. They’re post something like “All I said was ‘queer is a slur’ and everybody started shouting at me, this is so upsetting.” And THAT’S when the TERF will swoop in. Still not identifying themselves as a TERF, some sweet comforting ‘gender critical’ blogger will tell the upset person that it’s not their fault, that some people are just bullies who want to silence all criticism, that it’s important to be critical of this kind of gender ideology, blah blah blah.

Someone who is upset is very likely to be open-minded towards the point of view of the comforter, so our uninformed person will pick up a few more nuggets of TERF ideology and start parroting them. The already upset queer people will see more confirmation that this is a TERF and get more angry. A cycle will emerge where the increasingly isolated person consistently experiences one side as attackers and TERFs as comforting and supporting. And that’s the perfect setting for a brainwashing.

Now I don’t know what to do about it. It isn’t fair to expect all of us to always politely explain TERF dogwhistles to everyone. We’re allowed to be out of spoons and angry at this constant unsafety. TERFs also create fake accounts that throw dogwhistles everywhere just to push and exhaust us. But like, this process seems important to pick up on because it happens again and again.

[scarlet-rosepetals]

Absolutely fantastic post, but I think it’s worth pointing out that this cycle doesn’t just come from people with no spoons lashing out.

I have absolutely lashed out at people who parrot “queer is a slur” rhetoric. I’ve also attempted to reach out and politely educate people on the subject. Thing is, I’m often met with the exact same results. Some people will perceive any correction no matter how kindly phrased as an attack, and some people are more motivated to engage in performative behavior that makes them look “woke” than to actually help marginalized people (ie, just because the person isn’t a TERF doesn’t mean their motives are pure). There’s also the way TERFs/exclus will pretend to be totally innocent in their use of dogwhistles, to the point where you really can’t tell who’s acting in good faith or not.

Point being, I don’t know what to do about it either, but I think it’s worth explicitly warning people that “just being nice” isn’t going to cut it. You can be a Perfect Advocate who says everything right and never loses their temper and it won’t stop this cycle, so don’t beat yourself up when it happens to you.

[storyweavingspider]

Double reblogging but I’d like to point out that this is how White Supremacists/Fascists work too. Same model.

[queeranarchism]

True. I’ve noticed it’s how antivaxxers work too. There are very valid questions people can ask about vaccines. We should be critical of the mega-corporations that produce our medications. But those that ask critical questions about vaccines are often immediately attacked by a bunch of passionate anti-antivaxxers and that drives when right into the arms of the antivax movement.

I have also noticed that some people respond to polite attempts to educate them with more anger. From my experience, that can be for a lot of different reasons, like:

They’re TERFs pretending to be naive users, throwing dogwhistles around to invite attacks and then play the victim.

They’re performative social media users who see every correction as an attack on their reputation.

They’re someone who is deeply insecure or anxious, in many cases traumatized in some way or struggling with mental illness, and will fall into a full-blown panic attack at the suggestion that they might have done a bad thing because surely that means they’re worthless and all their friends hate them, etc.

They’re simultaneously being viciously attacked by people, possibly in private messages, and they perceive the friendly responses as part of that attack and respond with the same hostility to everyone.

A combination of things.

I wanted to list that variety of reasons to highlight that yes, friendly education doesn’t always work, but there are a lot of reasons why it doesn’t.

And in the cases when it does work, it’s often slow and happens out of sight. The way social media often demands that learning works (someone offers education, the educated person immediately learns, says sorry & thank you and changes their behavior) is very rarely how learning processes actually work.

I should maybe mention that there are also cases where being very harsh, angry and direct with someone can serve as a wake up call and create a change in behavior but that almost always happens offline, in a face to face situation between people who have a longer relationship and can come back to that moment to talk it over. And it’s generally about structural behavior, not an accidental one time copying of a terf dogwhistle.

There is no conclusion to this. I certainly wouldn’t say that you should always be nice. Shit’s complex. “Social media is very bad at creating growth and change for the better, call out culture makes that bad place even worse and actively helps people like terfs, fashos and antivaxxers recruit people” might be the closest I can come to a conclusion.

[a-square-6-28-496]

saw a similar thing about Mormons sending ppl to evangelize at ppl’s doors producing the same effect a couple years back.

[queeranarchism]

Yeah, that’s kinda similar, though not quite the same. In those cases someone is already a member of the group (so already identifies themselves as a Mormon, radfem, whatever) and is deliberately encouraged to go spread the message of the group in a way that doesn’t work well and will invite hostility.

This way, group loyalty is encouraged as they experience again and again that the outside world is hostile and the only support comes from their own community. It’s paired with isolation in other respects, like encouraging people to cut off friends who disagree with them.

Bonus points: groups with generally good opinions can also do this! Social justice twitter and facebook groups actually do this A LOT.

There are sooooo many online (and some offline) social justice communities where you are encouraged to call out people who disagree with you in ways that just never work. Not in a ‘I shout because I’m out of spoons and you really hurt me’ way, but in a ‘I shout because loud aggressive call outs are met with social rewards from my community and being more patient as I help people overcome their prejudices is seen as being a traitor to the cause.’

This creates a dynamic where people consistently experience everyone not in the in-group as hostile and everyone in the in-group as supportive, as long as they loyally reproduce the dogma of the group.

the leftist position is that people's positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.

like if it's one or the other, even if i'm wrong i'm going with the version that presents a path forward other than what, wholesale murder or imprisonment of millions of your countrymen so they can't do politics anymore?

“half the country is evil” ok the next question is obviously well what are you gonna do about it? calling them evil clearly didn't work!

i have no choice but to believe that trump would be way less appealing if people could afford their rent, if healthcare was available, if they didn't have to choose between groceries and medication. what's the alternative?? believe i should scold harder??

end images transcription

[queeranarchism]

A common critique of this is that income didn't seem to be a significant factor in who voted for Trump and that traditionally it's farmers, small business owners and lower middle class that skew fascist. And that's correct.

However, people who can afford rent and don't have to choose between groceries and medication, can still be motivated by the fear of becoming a person who can not afford rent or groceries.

And actually, that fear makes for an even more powerful recruitment tool because fear isn't rational and the false solutions that the right are offering make more sense for someone who fears poverty than for someone who is poor.

It's "I'm a worker who can afford rent, so wages should not go up or other workers might price me out of my apartment". It's "I made it as a legal immigrant, so others should not be able to come here illegally and compete with me for the same jobs, houses and status". It's "I live in a predominantly white, low-crime neighborhood but I fear what could happen if that changes." And so on. Fear of things getting worse in malleable, far more so than active misery. People with fears like that can be swayed by 'growth' and 'tough on crime' and 'tougher border policies'.

And that is being shaped by their material reality, the material reality of precariousness, the material reality of knowing that poverty could easily happen to you. When minimum wages are high and rent is low and health care is free, then people in that position are no longer at risk of becoming unable to afford rent, health care and groceries, so they're a whole lot less likely to skew fascist.

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

This is Andrey X, a Jewish Israeli pro-Palestine activist.

I don't know how to describe this video so I'll just write out what he's saying:

That is the beginning of an Israeli settlement. And this is the Palestinian village of Umm al-Hiran. Which is right now under a demolition order, in order to expand the settlement that way.

And we are not in the West Bank. We are in the Naqab desert. Every single Palestinian in that village has an Israeli passport. And yet they're being expelled to make way for a Jewish settlement.

And look at the hills around us. This place is empty. If Israel wants to build a settlement, they can do it anywhere. And yet they choose to do it here. Because the only purpose of that settlement is to expel Palestinians from their land.

This is happen all over the Naqab desert. Currently 14 Palestinian Bedouin communities are under demolition orders. And thousands of people are set to become homeless.

This is the most blatant illustration that Israel is an ethno-nationalist apartheid state. The Palestinians of Umm al-Hiran have the exact same citizenship as the settlers who are about to move into their land. And yet the Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed just because they belong to an ethno-cultural group that the Israeli state wants to suppress as much as possible.

Not to be a debbie downer but Tim Walz was in the military for 24 years, including during the Iraq war. He called the national guard on protestors following the George Floyd murder. He supports Israel. He's approved an oil pipeline across indigenous lands that break treaties.

It's weird to celebrate a man who goes against all leftist values

Hello, I'm a Catholic who recently signed up for Tumblr and I unfortunately feel like I really did not understand what I was getting into with this website. For the last several weeks, I've been subjected to a campaign of internet stalking by a large gang of insidious thugs on this site. And I would brush it off as normal internet trolling, except that they seem to really know a lot about our faith!

The problem started a few weeks ago, when a "Tumblr famous" user known as "midgeonsmidgeon" messaged me. He claims to be the closest living relative of Pope John Paul I, who died after only 33 days on the throne. When a Pope dies, the death must be verified by striking him three times in the head with a silver hammer. According to midgeons, a church historian has recently examined the hammer used on John Paul I and learned it was only 87% silver. Per the canon laws of 1919, the hammer must be at least 90% silver to be considered true silver. Because of this and other "irregularities" regarding the death, midgeons insists that Pope John Paul I is still LEGALLY alive and still the Pope! And as his closest living heir, this makes midgeonsmidgeon the highest living authority in the Catholic Church until the corpse is exhumed and struck with the correct hammer!

Hi, I regret to inform you that you've been misinformed. There are no canon laws of 1919. In fact, the closest is the 1917 Code of Canon Law, which is no longer in effect since it's been superseded by the 1983 Code of Canon Law.

I would recommend brushing up a bit more on your ecclesiastical history before sending asks like this with information that's easily debunked by a quick wikipedia search. You should probably attend your Sunday classes more diligently (or lodge a complaint to your instructors for not teaching you such basic information). Just a friendly tip!
