Personal blog thing. Don't follow; there's no point. I won't be posting consistently about the same stuff. Current brainrot: DMBJ (novel). Yantou is canon.

The posts I really want people to see.

Yucun Part 2 Translations

Got a couple of yucun posts that aren’t translations in there, idk man I’m not very good at this whole organisation thing

Join the DMBJ novels discussion server I made!

The best Pingxie fic I have ever read (rec for a fic I translated)

I’ve also written a few fics of my own: gingaittousei on AO3. Sorry I use different usernames everywhere; these accounts were all created at different times and I haven’t got to the point that I absolutely need to change them.

Zanghaihua 2 Prologue Translation (seminal work for Zhang Qiling lovers)

DMBJ Scene Comparison

This is book 6 when Xiaoge comes out of the meteorite, between the licensed TL and the original text

The Title of Yucun P1 c29 is not Three Thousand Worlds

And it matters because it affects the understanding of the text. I put in a decent enough amount of work trying to understand the concept and then explain it coherently to not highlight this.

Zanghaihua Manhua Chapter 10 Scanlation

Zanghaihua Manhua Chapter 11 Scanlation

I don’t know if I should say this because I’ve literally clowned myself every single time, but no promises if I’ll do more. I am very proud of what I have done though.

Richard Siken… Richard Fucking Siken. You asked RICHARD SIKEN if his poems were inspired by BUDDIE. Gay men do not exist in people’s heads except as props huh?

[jaydenskyle]

You might as well ask Allen Ginsburg’s corpse if “Howl” is secretly about Ryliver at this point. Jesus Christ.

[jaydenskyle]

Gonna be completely honest if I got this kind of feedback from one of the world’s most famous gay poets, I’d just scrub my entire online presence and start from scratch.

i can't go on tiktok anymore bc the summer hikaru died fans on there are always like nooooooo the chest scene isn't erotic it's normal with context pls!!! meanwhile this is what the mangaka said in an interview

[nerdpiggy]

[ID: Interviewer: "Much of the horror also blends with eroticism between the two boys, like when Yoshiki feels inside of 'Hikaru.' Is there a deeper meaning behind these moments?"

MOKUMOKUREN: "I drew the scene where Yoshiki puts his hand inside Hikaru's stomach, thinking some people would find it erotic while others would find it 'disgusting' and uncomfortable. Both feelings are correct and are exactly what the protagonist, Yoshiki, is feeling. I want people's feelings toward the 'unknown' to be not only 'scary' but also sometimes sexual, sometimes unpleasant, and very complex. In reality, the more we find it difficult to accept something, the more sexualized or frightening it is and awakens something primal within us." /End ID]

Nothing can compare to the relationship between a boy and his eldritch entity (aka best friend)

[grassbreads]

Man, genuinely there's little that excites me more than encountering queerness in fiction where I wasn't expecting it. I'm gonna be thinking about Kikuhiko/Yakumo from SGRS for so long.

Even setting aside the subtext of his feelings for Sukeroku, the narrative around his relationship to gender norms and his own expression is so fascinating. Guy who grows up steeped in rigid 40s gender roles and actively tries to enforce them, yet only truly feels like himself when he's acting on stage as a woman. Guy who says his life would have been better if he were born a woman and then refuses to elaborate.

Was so baffled at people claiming there’s only porn on AO3, so did a quick stats search. 

This is how the ratings look at the moment of counting, over the total 9,3M works on the archive (9 380 645 to be exact, atm)

Explicit: 1 551 860 (16,54%)

Mature: 1 409 093 (15,02%)

Teen and up: 2 834 938 (30,22%)

General: 2 651 772 (28,27%)

Not rated: 932 982 (9,95%)

Even combined, Explicit and Mature works barely overtake the total percentage of T-rated ones. That’s the overall stats on AO3, but fandom to fandom the landscape would differ greatly, of course.

The Underage tag, which is used to justify the witch hunts against the archive as a whole, returns only 222 748 works (2,37%).

EDIT: Look at the follow-up to see the ratio of Explicit and Mature works that contain sexual themes.

when will leftists realize that survivors of extremely violent and repressive communist regimes speaking about their experiences is not propaganda <3

[givemearmstopraywith]

if your support of an ideology cannot stand up to scrutiny and you cannot hold that ideology in balance with the reality of when its been enacted on a state level, you should not be purporting that ideology in the first place. go back to sleep. and starve.

[czortofbaldmountain-deactivated]

This is is a very real problem in leftist spaces that should be acknowledged more often. Even worse than the existence of tankies is the fact that they’re tolerated. You’ll see “fashists/nazis DNI”, and justly so, but very rarely “tankies DNI”, because apparently supporting violent imperialistic regimes is okay as long as they’re leftist. People will ignore speaking over Eastern people, including first-hand survivors, on their generational trauma. When a Western leftist performs a literal genocide denial shit (like those “Holodomor was a natural disaster” people), they rarely if ever face much backlash.

Western tankies are inherently Western supremacist, because their narrative of communist utopia is more important to them than death and suffering of millions Eastern people.

[julibernardo]

“Anyone who thinks that the Communist regimes of Central Europe are exclusively the work of criminals is overlooking a basic truth: The criminal regimes were made not by criminals but by enthusiasts convinced they had discovered the only road to paradise. They defended that road so valiantly that they were forced to execute many people. Later it became clear that there was no paradise, that the enthusiasts were therefore murderers.”

so funny how for a brief time we managed to get perfect alignment for extensions between browsers, webextensions from chrome to firefox to safari, and then google decided "nope, we're going to enforce some new rules now, time to choose us as your only platform or put in extra work" and now you can't even publish the same extension on every chromium fork.

reminder that it's in your best interest to stop using Chrome before January 2023, or you're going to lose extension data.

TLDR:

Chrome extentions will break in an effort by google to disable adblockers. switch to Firefox now pls:
