anyway it makes me sad to worry about stuff like this while reading fanfic since it used to be a safe space 😭 a safe space with tons of slop but it was PEOPLE slop and i could respect that. a terrible fic written by a person is still that person trying their best u know

i have no way to know for sure so i'd never call them out on it, but even if i'm wrong i would def try to give the writer some feedback about their sentence structure because it was just so... mechanical and stiff, and also every character lowkey spoke the exact same way 😭

finally gave up reading this fic that i was getting crazy chatgpt vibes from but wanted to believe otherwise because the premise was so interesting... but after reading things from other writers that didn't give me ANY AI vibes i decided to just quietly trust my instincts

fortunately none of it was particularly important or irreplaceable it's the MYSTERY that gets me. i am very careful with files and do not typically delete entire folders by accident, especially not PERMANENTLY (bypassing the recycle bin) but i guess... that's what MUST have happened?????

random funny fact... i used to have a huge genshin folder in my phone gallery full of memes and official art/assets etc. saved over the past 5 years and i have no idea what happened because one day it just fucking. disappeared?? WHERE DID IT GO

HELPPPP that's so cute. imagine illuga reaching up with his hands outstretched but can't quite get them around his neck and flins thinks he's asking to be picked up like a cat

you know.... can illuga even reach flins' neck because he's. he's very short

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

this is kinda my problem too i followed most of the same mutuals from twt but there wasn't much genshin stuff to rt so then i started using it like a general purpose blog with the occasional fandom rt... but overall it's soooo quiet

i just know flins is going to have a non-answer prepared for every single item of interrogation and drive illuga insane... again 😭

RIGHT i'm so glad that a lot of my mutuals and fav writers have been sharing the same braincell... there is absolutely a pipeline here

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

it's actually kind of a relief though because for a while nothing (NOTHING) hit like hkv and i was worried it set the bar too high... don't get me wrong they're still THE gold standard but there is something POTENT in the nod-krai water. potent and unbearably gay

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

wow sorry bluesky i've been maining the other app because i fell HARD into faelight (flins x illuga) after catching up on nod-krai and i've been luxuriating in the fanart and fanfic... i haven't been this obsessed since hkv it's THAT BAD

gotta love having sensory nightmare days where everything feels uncomfortable and wrong to the point of distraction but you can't just roll up in a safe space at home because you've got obligations that require putting yourself in even more uncomfortable situations........

the actors are very cute and charming and i'm happy that a gay canadian tv show is popular and making money! i did often find myself laughing at the script because some of the dialogue is so unserious but when i think back to 2011 it makes sense why they talk like that,

yesss zenni is great!! i went with kits last time because they came out with a collection designed specifically for asian faces (low bridge/high cheek struggle) but i've used firmoo and sllac in the past as well... i have a lot of glasses.......

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

ooh i usually only use eye drops when i have contacts in but now that i think about it, the tired feeling is very similar! i might try carrying them with me now thank u

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

this is a good point actually it might be my glasses?! i got transition lenses for my new ones and i don't think they have screen-friendly/blue light coating which i have had in the past... maybe time to get ANOTHER new pair

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

i'm finding the most satisfaction in fic that just. totally ignores canon. maybe even disrespects it! there are so many things that were done badly. godawful even! it's up to us to do it better 💫 the ultimate fix-it

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

there's a distinct cognitive dissonance in hating jkr more as time goes by, but also being determined to keep one of my big formative ships (genuinely a huge part of how i came to love and embrace queerness) close to my heart

anyway maybe they did know about the MSG hoax and it's not that big of a deal, but somehow i find myself wanting to spare the reminder anyway. i'd rather they sleep well and think of happier things!

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

so it's a little empathy, and probably some improvement in communication and understanding as a result. a better parent-child relationship that i'm happy to treat gently for the remaining years of my parents' lives, rather than constantly fill with guilt and pain from the past as i very well could

140

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

it's strange wanting to protect my parents from emotional pain now when i was HAPPY to blame them for all of my problems as a teenager (as teens do) but with the passage of time, i grew up and realized how hard being an adult really was. i don't even HAVE kids and i'm overwhelmed all the time

130

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

because truly, i don't blame them! i love canada, and the one-child rule in china meant i wouldn't have even existed if they stayed. i respect their struggle more with every year that passes; my struggle to be accepted was valid too, but it wasn't their fault. it was systemic; built-in.

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

i often have to catch myself in a convo with my siblings where we'll be reflecting on the discrimination and hate we grew up in, and i have to make sure our parents aren't listening because how could it be anything but painful to realize your decision to immigrate put your kids through that?

120

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

idk if any other diaspora feel this way but i just had this moment while cooking where i thought, "i wonder if my [older, retired] parents know the MSG scare was completely made up because of anti-asian propaganda" but then realized i didn't want to add to the burden of racism they already carried

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

realizing an issue that has just gotten worse for me over time/with age is screen fatigue... i used to be able to stay glued to a computer for 12+ hours with no issues but even just trying to read academic article pdfs for longer than 3 hours at a time is killing me

i can't believe i've been sleeping on cogimyun and ebifurai for so long like it just did not occur to me that i had a hole in my heart the exact shape of a wheat flour girlie and her tiny fried shrimp bestie but i've now seen the light

astra (akademiya era) @astraimpact.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

it's so weird to have real life thoughts in your super fake dreams because my coworker texted me about getting starbucks this morning and after i fell back asleep i dreamed about a severe rainstorm and thought, "damn i hope she's gonna be ok getting her starbucks"

this sort of shit is exactly why i'm trying to learn more about what is even going on in there but it's ironic that my psychological studies are exactly the thing that is being impeded. it's almost like there's a little adhd demon in here, aware of the target i've painted on it
