iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 21/09/2026i haven't watched sayonara lara but i really liked this about On a Sunbeam. it starts off feeling like it's True Destined Love and at they end you realise, well, sure the love was real but it was brief and intense. maybe it'll work out in the future, maybe it won't, and that's alright, life goes on 000 0

iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 04/06/2026the only counter example I can think of are the Tau in warhammer 40k. but even for them, the writers put some of them in cryostasis and gave another a magic blade that makes him immortal, just bc the setting plays out over so many years and they didn't wanna discard the characters 100 0

iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 12/05/2026the social context around the work, I think that always has and always will be an important part of critique. But I wouldn't want critics or general audiences to not voice their criticism of my work or anyone else's. 110 0
iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I think we can have genuine critical discussions just fine without contributing to censorship campaigns or harassment or what have you. Obviously it's something important to keep in mind when doing critique, 110 0
iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I don't see how those two things are in conflict, that we need to make sure we do one thing first. If someone wrote genuine criticism of my work, even if it was as scathingly negative as it could possibly be, that's different from trying to get it banned or getting me in trouble for it. 110 0
iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Obviously that critique can't just be "you made her naked cause you're a GOONER," that's barely critique at all, but we can still talk about it critically. If anything, I feel like if we just shy away from criticism, then we just cede that ground to the reactionary gooner accusations 110 0
iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I kinda feel like it's the opposite. The reduction of women into sex objects, and the censorship of sexuality and in particular the female body, are part of the same phenomenon. We have to critique the role art plays in portraying women, especially in a time like this. 110 0

iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 18/01/2026I'm glad you decided to walk back on that usage of Renee Good's name at least. in any case, your country bombed my friends' country last year and has been threatening them with nukes for decades, so you'll excuse me if I have some fears in my imagination about the consequences of US invasions 130 0

iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 23/12/2025that one post that said you should add line breaks whenever you imagine the camera would cut, as if it was a film. writing is its own medium and if you just wanna make films in your head then your writing will be severely limited. 3200 0

iya @iyabiya.bsky.social · 27/08/2025they view cracker barrel and its distinctive logo as a symbol of american and specifically southern culture, and of old-fashioned aesthetics (and by extension, old-fashioned values). making the logo more generic and modern is an attack on american, southern and conservative identity 110 0
