Book 16: Carmilla Rereading an old favourite. Maybe Sheridan Le Fanu meant this to be gothic horror, but to me, personally? This is erotica.

Book 15: A Dream of Red Mansions I hate this book. I love this book. I'm going to be thinking about it for the rest of my life. It took me over 3 months to finish. I want to start it again. It was so boring. I was hooked the entire time. A must read. I would never recommend it to anyone ever.

Book 14: The Green Knight Read aloud by my wife to me and my flatmate. Remarkable book. Extremely bisexual.

One of my favourite artists, Rachel Bochner, is releasing her 1st album this month, and I'm very excited that I'll get to experience it at the same time as the rest of the fandom. If we trace the series of events that lead me to this point back to their origin, we come to a fascinating conclusion

Book 13: The Three Musketeers Read this aloud to my flatmate and wife over the course of six months. Nothing fucking happens in this book. There's no plot. It's just gay idiots being gay idiots for 700 pages. I love it more than life itself. I would die for Milady de Winter

Seeing Marina tonight so heres your reminder that I have a Venus Fly Trap tattoo because when I woke up from anaesthetic in 2021 my first thought was Oh Marina's new single was released while I was under the knife!

Sick as hell Venus fly trap tattoo on my inner thigh

Book 11: Legends of the Condor Heroes I adored this. The mad adventures in wulin. The insane characters. The rambling unconnected plots. I can clearly see the DNA of the great chinese classics in this writing. I'm devastated the sequel hasn't been translated yet

Caoimhe Deyn @empressofkashyr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Book 11.25: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Volume 2: A Bond Undone In the original chinese, Condor Heroes is 1 book, even though the translation is 4. I'm counting it as 1. A wonderful continuation of a book I am deeply in love with. I am realising as I read it however that this book has no plot

Book 12: Folkish Look, there's nothing I can say here that won't be biased. This was written by my actual wife. So don't listen to me. Listen to Rachel Mann, Kimberly Campanello, and Richard Skelton, and listen to me when I tell you they're telling the truth

Book 11: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Volume 1: A Hero Reborn A friend lent this to me since I've been reading so many chinese classics, and I absoloutely loved this. You can really feel the DNA of Outlaws and JTTW in this. Adored it. So furious at how it ends Ive immediately bought volumes 2-4

On Tuesday, a church I'd never heard of in a city I couldnt point to on a map in a country I never think about was demolished, as part of a wider pattern of removing the traces of the citys Armenian heritage. I don't know why this particular one stuck in my mind. Last night I rebuilt it in Minecraft

Holy Mother of God Cathedral, Stepanakert

I did my best to rebuild the Holy Mother of God Cathedral that was destroyed, but I'm translating a 12 sided building into a format that only has cubes

Book 10: Dick Tucker, Detective in Drag: A Thot Without A Prayer This is a reboot of a comic that was among the first presents I ever bought my now wife. It's very silly and sweet and funny.

Book 9: True Grit I was SO charmed by the MC. Diagnosing her with the very particular kind of autism only found in girls of 14. She is so stubborn and so unwilling to bend her rules. Everything has to be done Her Way. The adults in her life treat her like a unique specimin who is both adult & child

Book 8: Tao Te Ching I read a second translation because I felt I wanted to really understand the first one. I enjoyed the commentaries and felt they were enlightening but overall the previous translation spoke to me more. Maybe it was just written in a way my brain could more easily interpret.

I guess when I show you these things it's hard to get a perspective on the relative size of the new town to the overall world (which I've been working on for 14 years btw!!) This should help

Book 7: Tao Te Ching So it turns out that this is basically how I've already been living my life. People ask me how I'm so zen and chill all the time and I never really had a good answer, but I guess now my answer is that I accidentally reinvented Taoism from base principles at 22

Book 6: Outlaws of the Marsh Another 2000+ page classic down! I loved this, it was the perfect blend of a grounded and realistic plot and characters with the odd fantastical element smushed in. They would be laying siege to a town and realise the only way to win is to recruit their local wizard
