I finished meet you at the blossom!! it was so so glorious and may just renew my interest in BL (tbd)

ngl I was soooo depressed after the danmei crackdown a few years ago, im not even gonna get into it bc it still makes me sad.

so honestly I have no idea how this show got made and distributed in china, even with the overseas production loophole it just. defies all reasoning.

I really commend the actors and production team for taking such a huge risk and making history together. I honestly had given up on seeing actual queer wuxia onscreen in my lifetime. as a kid who grew up on louis cha adaptations wuxia is like, religious to me. seeing actual queer representation in a literary cornerstone of my language and culture touched a part of me that I can’t even put into words.

random character-y thoughts:

xiao bao - my beloved. he’s my perfect innocent babygirl and can do no wrong, ever. I want to put him in my pocket and take him everywhere and protect him from everything bad and never let him be cold again. his earnestness is so sweet without being cloying, even his dumb shenanigans are endearing. ugh I just love him ok I want him as a bestie soooo bad. also DIMPLES hello every time he smiles I wanna die. also i’m obsessed w wang yunkai I need him on my screen again asap

huai en - !!! my fairy. the light of my life. my untouchable ethereal princess who also severs limbs without breaking a sweat. my robot assassin boy. ugh my heart breaks for him, his childhood was so terrible and dark and lonely, not to mention the grooming (evil daddy can diaf, normally villains don’t really yank my chain but child abuse is vile). watching him grow and thaw and open his heart was breathtaking, it was like watching a delicate flower bloom from a bud. li le is inhuman btw, how can a man be SO ethereal it’s actually uncanny

su yin - wow I finally remembered his name!! this actor really impressed me, I think he was the best 古装 actor out of the young cast. he really brought the gravitas to all his scenes and made me believe he was super important. I felt so bad for poor su yin tho, man was down baddd for xiao bao (who can blame him really) but duty kept him from sealing the deal. if he weren’t a noble he def would’ve left huai en for dead and wifed up xiao bao himself, society be damned.

zhao cai & jin bao - my lil dumplings. LOVED their comedic scenes, esp the physical comedy. zhao cai’s eye rolls live in my head rent free.

hot doctor - sorry i’m so bad at names on this show for some reason. they all sound the same?? anyways he was fun and provided some much needed levity in the later episodes. I was curious about his mittens and how historically accurate they were? don’t think i’ve seen anything similar in other shows

consort xue - will forever be thinking about consort xue as THEE gothic figure in this tale. we never even see her face, but the trace of her ghost haunts every scene. generations of 恩怨 (karma?? idk how to translate) all stemming from one person’s life and death, and even at the end huai en is still reminded that but for a twist of fate his mother may still be alive… and he’s the spitting image of her. every time he looks in the mirror it’s a bittersweet reminder of a person long gone. hhhhh im not ok

emperor daddy - ngl i’m confused if he was supposed to be a good ruler or not? the actor’s vibe was kinda giving no but the script… idek

evil daddy - I did feel a tiny bit bad for him at the end. it’s hard realizing you’re your own biggest fkup

bratty prince - wasn’t sure how old he was supposed to be, his behavior was giving 15 tho. the actor did a good job as the only person acting in a different language! watching his mouth movements totally not match up to the audio track was a trip

other courtiers - ngl I couldn’t even keep their names straight, let alone their machinations. it took me till like ep 9-10 to realize greasy lord shen was the fourth brother - where did the third brother go?? and one guy was so deep undercover he switched sides like 3 times. idk man

all in all i’m so glad I gave this show a chance (not that looked bad but I didn’t know if my heart could take it after the danmei crackdown), it really gave me hope that things could be different someday🫶

4, 5 and 7 for Great Days

This has to go under a read more, I've been rambling far too enthusiastically about it XD

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

Oh no, that's gonna be really hard to pick! This fic is just oozing with too many good vibes for me <3 Let's see...

Because he’s four years old, and he’s got the best friend ever and the coolest powers ever, and he can do anything he wants. -> I really wanted to capture the grandiosity with which toddler!Silver views life in this sentence. For him, four years old means he's almost an adult and already wholly independent. And there is absolutely no way that there's even a single person out there who is a better friend to someone than the wind is for him. And his powers are absolutely amazing and the coolest ever and he's so strong and mighty and awesome. All this combined means Silver really can do whatever he wants, because he believes it so fully. That is the vibe I wanted to convey with that sentence, and with the story at large too <3

Their treasure is nothing short of amazing: the prettiest rock, that they found in the forest one day. Or rather, that Silver fought some dumb robot for. The wind had been impressed by that! His parents less so. Stray robots wouldn’t just wander in some forest with a really important gemstone, they’d said, and even if they did, four-year-olds should never go and fight them. That was dangerous, and what if he had gotten hurt? But of course, Silver had already hidden his treasure away then, so he couldn’t show it to them as proof. Plus, it’s a secret. -> a whole paragraph, but one I also really like, because it contrasts Silver's grandiosity with the far more realistic view of the world on his antics. In my mind, anthros become mostly independent at around 10 years of age, though there's plenty of stories of 8-year-olds already going off on their own (like Tails living alone at 8, and Amy in the Classic stories being 8 when she went to Little Planet). But that's not the same as being four years old, haha! So Silver's parents are (rightfully!) a bit concerned by their child's adventures, which is a stark opposite to how Silver sees things. I wanted to show Silver's more honest nature too: even if he's disgruntled about not being believed, he is too honourable to dig up his treasure and show it as proof. I wanted to show that he's got a good set of morals even at four years old already <3

“Four years old,” he grumbles, leering at the radiant sun climbing the heavens. It had stung to hear it be put in that way; a way that was rude, that didn’t make it sound like he can do whatever he wants. Mama and papa bring it up a lot for why he has to be careful, as if they don’t know Silver can care for himself just fine. “I’m almost five already,” he adds, sending a look up to the wind and grinning at its confirming twirl. His fourth birthday was, like... two months ago, so his fifth birthday will be there really soon, and then he'll be older and can do even more! “Do you think I can ask for a second pretty rock so ours doesn’t get lonely?” -> same story as above with this paragraph. Silver's parents are clearly not stifling because they're fine with their son madly running around through a forest in the morning, but at the same time, they do urge him to be more careful than he is, to Silver's independent displeasure. And I wanted to describe Silver's young and simple-minded worldview stemming from his age, far more exaggerated than when he's 14. He's an impatient little guy: he doesn't want to wait for his birthday, but surely it'll come really soon, considering it's been an ETERNITY since the previous one. Also here I wanted to dip in Silver's kind nature as well: he doesn't want his treasure to be lonely. To me such statements shows a childishness, also because Silver anthropomorphises the Emerald multiple times in the story, but very cutely and easily attributed to his age, haha!

Last one, I promise XD …But Espio needs it to find his friend. -> Also a description of the fact Silver's got both a good heart and can make decisions he perhaps doesn't like for the betterment of other people, because he's incredibly kind. I wanted to convey that even at 4 years old, that kindness and selflessness Silver possesses is what informs his actions first and foremost. And that'll only grow more strong as he becomes older and a hero in his own right! <3

5: What part was hardest to write?

The scene with the Bombat, for sure! I'm not really an action writer: I know you need to keep your sentences short and snappy and what-not, but that's just not my style while writing, haha. So Silver rushing in to fight it and then nearly getting blown the heck up seconds later and needing to be rescued by Espio were a bit of a struggle to jot down in a way that felt nice to read!

But that being said, this whole fic has been through so many revisions and other ideas. Originally the wind wasn't in it, and it was just Silver tumbling out of his house to go on an adventure (he was also originally 5 years old). That is also the reason why the wind is checking on Silver's treasure when Silver goes to Espio: I'd already written the scene of Silver and Espio meeting, and I didn't want to rewrite it all to include the wind XD That part of the story goes almost precisely like it goes in the published fic, but instead of the wind coming back to alarm Silver about danger, Silver was to go to his neighbours with Espio in tow to ask about Espio's friend. The idea was that Espio would be keeping himself invisible as to not show himself to anyone (he didn't want to risk being recognised), and people would think Silver was just playing pretend. And Espio would then have brought up that the Emeralds would make a better way to find his friend, and Silver would callously reveal that he's fought a robot and got a "pretty rock" from it. He and Espio would have gone to his hiding spot, and from there on the scene with the Bombat would have commenced like it does in the fic. That's why the wind is less present at the end of the published story: he originally wasn't in there at all!

7: Where did the title come from?

Finding a title for this fic was a struggle. I wanted to convey that it was a happy moment, that Silver was having fun: my first ideas for a title wanted to include the word serendipity. But the fic starts with a sentence stating that Silver sees that today is going to be a great day, and he later repeats that great days are meant for helping people when offering to lend Espio a hand. So I eventually went with that!

[realcleverscience]

Some of my picks and comments:

44% of companies using or planning on using AI believe it will result in layoffs in 2024

By the end of the decade (2030), 14% of workers will have been forced by AI to change career (Note: That wasn't change employer but rather, career. Find an entirely new field to work in.)

60% of the jobs in advanced economies are at risk of being replaced by AI (Most people think about AI replacing low wage jobs. The reality is that many mid to high paying jobs are at greater risk.)

But just 26% of jobs in low-income countries are similarly exposed

80% of the US workforce could have at least 10% of their tasks impacted by large language models

More than 7.5 million data entry jobs will be lost by 2027

47% of US workers are at risk of losing their jobs to automation over the coming decade (~2034)

It will take at least 20 years to automate just half of current worldwide work tasks (I am skeptical of this. But I also assume it means complete automation. Keep in mind, even 50% automation can mean 50% job cuts)

19% of workers are employed in the jobs most exposed to AI

27% of workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher are employed in jobs most exposed to AI (again, showing how AI is currently set to transform white collar jobs more than blue collar.)

63% of business leaders surveyed by CEPR think AI won’t affect employment rates in high-income countries (I am skeptical of this)

Just 32% of employees think their company has been transparent about its use of AI

I think there's some hype in these stats (already a few months old) but also some aspects of underestimation (which I suspect stem from a more linear view of tech progress, compared to a more exponential view that myself and many tech enthusiasts endorse).

[juurensha]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "juurensha "?

Thanks if you want to answer....

Ooooo such a fun question.

Top 10 fics ever:

Something Borrowed by rageprufrock - the best IwaOi fic, I love it so much, the characterizations are just stellar here (is it ABO, yes, but shush, I love it)

家教 - or - Domestic Education by rageprufrock - the best Guardian fic I've ever read, and I love the Shanghai-ness of it all!

as to which may be the true by susiecarter - identity porn at its best (I was going to pick tell all the truth (but tell it slant) by susiecarter originally, because fake dating, but I've reread this one more, so I think it has to count as my favorite SuperBat fic)

Excessively Clever by astolat and Champion by astolat - I know nothing about Transformers, but astolat's fic made me absolutely adore these robots

The vates series by Lightning on the Wave (starts here ) - just because it takes the HP series world and completely blows it up and adds so much cool lore of its own. Yes, yes, all the characters are basically OC's at this point, and the Drarry gets a bit too much come Year 4, but my god, that lore.

a simple thing by iridan - lovely Mandalorian fic that gives both Din and Boba peace (and ignores the later seasons, thank god)

ships that pass in the night by beethechange - okay, okay, I know it's RPF, and let me caveat by saying, I think the real Ryan and Shane are just good friends, but I really enjoyed the hilariousness of this fic and the innate wistfulness and yearning to it as well.

it's about time that you just unwind by fuckener - idk, I just love two middle-aged snarky guys figuring out their sexualities and working out their trauma together, despite the fact that I have watched It entirely through gifsets

Lithograph by romantic_drift - the Nirvana in Fire fixit fic we all DESERVE

And now I'm going to cheat and stick a few extra under the readmore

Play It Again by metisket - all I have ever wanted is for all the Hales to be alive, so I deeply enjoyed this Sterek AU

Fealty by astolat - Person of Interest was pretty formative for me, and I love nothing more than devotion

Out of This Place by Sineala - sort of fake dating, and I do love Eagle of the Ninth so much, despite it being kind of a terrible movie

Dooku Captured, Pt 2 by DarthNickels - the Stars Wars AU we all deserved

#bakudeku by rageprufrock - it's not a BakuDeku story, its a TodoDeku story, and I love it because it's hilarious

An Unexpected Gift by Miko - an oldie but a goodie, I am still so fond of the Silver Pair from Prince of Tennis

And as for my username juurensha, this all stems from juu's weeb phase (that she never grew out of exactly, so it's actually quite fitting!) Tiny 13/14 year old juu was quite into Bleach and Naruto and was of course coming up with OC's, and specifically for Naruto, wanted to come up with a girl from a weapon's family. Googling random Japanese terms online yielded

銃連射/じゅうれんしゃ

meaning rapid weapons fire/or hail of bullets.

13/14 year old weeb juu: close enough!

So, that was my Naruto and Bleach OC's last name. Yes, and then I proceeded to use this super cringe name as my Ao3 username because I assumed that no one else would have used it yet, and here I am!

...I still really like it :DDDD

[livastia-universe]

Tell us more about graffi!

Ohh of course! Here's a general rundown for the unfamiliar, then I can get a little more into the specifics of his character:

Graffi Sasaki, as it currently stands in the lore, is the house sprite of Lazarus Sasaki (Graffi taking on Lazarus's last name is kind of equivalent to when a person gives their cat a human name, since he's a B-class AI). While Lazarus is busy with matters of law and political relations, Graffi is tasked with keeping their shared vessel well maintained, basically acting as head of janitorial. While Lazarus has free time, though, Graffi is more of a roommate/pet to him, and they treat each other like old friends. For how Graffi speaks, imagine Fantoccio from BBU's voice from older recordings, minus the theatrical sort of grandiose accent. As far as personality goes, he sounds and sort of acts like a real grouch sometimes, but if you get him onto a topic he likes, he practically 180's into a total goober.

OKAY MORE STUFF!

Graffi is actually one of my oldest ocs that still has a spotlight in the present day! I made him all the way back in middle school, which makes him about 10 or 11 years old! The big robot bug body was his first design, then the form that would eventually become the base for all house sprite projections stemmed from the time I toyed around with the thought of him being a computer virus. There were actually two other big robot bugs like him, but they only survived into the beginning of Livastia lore with minor visual references. His looks are actually a reference to a certain animated movie from around the era of his creation - although now he has a more original design, it was pretty evident who he was inspired by when I first made him ooooops

In the buzzing heart of Brooklyn, where the streets hum with language, culture, and resistance, a new kind of hero emerges. Sixteen-year-old Resonance isn’t bulletproof, and she doesn’t fly—but she can hear your pain, feel your fear, and speak every tongue on Earth, from human to machine.

Half African-American, half Ukrainian, and fully tapped into the frequencies of a fractured world, Resonance is an empath and omnilinguist who deciphers emotions like code and rewires injustice with her tech-forged intuition. With wearable gadgets of her own design and a secret online identity—LesyaV0x, infamous in underground hacker circles—she battles digital surveillance, weaponized misinformation, and the creeping silence of disconnection.

As climate chaos, authoritarian AI, and emotional numbness threaten her city, Resonance must decode a global conspiracy one feeling at a time—while navigating school, community, and the deep ache of legacy and identity.

In a world that speaks over the vulnerable, she listens. And she answers in every language.

Prompt:

Please answer as an expert writer in science fiction and the world of comic book characters. Authors that I like the style of are Octavia Bulter and NK Jemisin. Superhero protagonist of a new story - Brooklyn born 16 year old - half African-American, Half Ukrainian girl. Her super powers are empath - she can sense other people's emotions, and she is Omniliguistic - she can speak and understand every language. This language ability also allows her to code computers and work with robotics. She has a ton of gadgets which give extend her super powers. She is known is coding circles online by a codename. I need a refined description of her, 10 possible names for her as superhero, 10 possible names for her online persona - the online persona should have Ukrainian element to it. I need 5 image prompts to start to design the character.

Response:

Absolutely, this is a compelling concept—rich in cultural roots, emotional depth, and tech-forward superpowers. Drawing from the legacies of Octavia Butler’s spiritual world-building and N.K. Jemisin’s myth-infused cities, here’s how we can shape this superhero protagonist:

🔹 Refined Character Description

Born in Brooklyn to a Ukrainian mother and African-American father, [Heroine's Name TBD] is a 16-year-old empath and omnilinguist. On the surface, she’s a STEM prodigy—quiet, observant, and forever soldering parts or coding late into the night. But beneath the surface, she is a resonator of human experience: she doesn’t just sense emotions, she channels them, translating fear into courage, sorrow into clarity.

Her ability to understand any language—spoken, signed, coded, or even symbolic—makes her a human Rosetta Stone. This power extends beyond speech: she can interface with machines, decipher ancient scripts, decode encrypted messages, and even “listen” to the emotional subtext of body language and animal behavior.

Trained in robotics by a mysterious online collective and gifted with wearable gadgets of her own design, her tools amplify her empathic and linguistic gifts. Her tech includes:

A pair of neural-gauze gloves that let her physically “read” the feelings in a space.

An AI drone companion that translates emotion signatures into sound and light.

Augmented lenses that reveal emotional currents and hidden communication.

She fights injustice not with brute force, but through insight, healing, and disruption of corrupt systems. Her strength lies in connection—in seeing what others overlook, and feeling what others suppress.

Online, in coder circles, she’s a legend known only by her handle: [Ukrainian-coded codename TBD].

🔹 10 Superhero Name Ideas

These names highlight her identity, powers, and legacy:

Pulse

Circuitheart

Sonar

Thread

Empyra

Lingua

Nua (from “new” in several languages, also evokes “Nubia” and “nova”)

EchoVerse

Cipheria

Resonance

🔹 10 Online Persona Names (with Ukrainian Influence)

These blend hacker energy with Ukrainian language, mythology, and resistance legacy:

Kyvra (Kyiv + “aura” or “cipher”)

Verba.exe ("Verba" means "word" or "willow tree" in Ukrainian)

ChornaDusha (“Black Soul,” a rebel nod)

Perekladnik (Ukrainian for “translator” or “interpreter”)

LesyaV0x (Inspired by Lesya Ukrainka, feminist poet + "voice")

ZMIYA (“Snake” in Ukrainian folklore, symbol of wisdom and transformation)

Tserkva404 ("Tserkva" = church, with hacker glitch twist)

K0zakCode (Kozak/Cossack warrior heritage + coder)

BabaYagaNet (Folklore witch reimagined as a digital seer)

MovaGhost (“Mova” = language, with ghostly/invisible movement online)

🔹 5 Image Prompts to Design the Character

"Teenage girl in a neon-lit Brooklyn alley at night, wearing futuristic tech gear, light-reactive neural gloves, afro-punk inspired hoodie with circuit patterns, one eye glowing with a language interface, Slavic jewelry accents"

"Close-up portrait of a 16-year-old biracial girl with braids, wearing smart-lens goggles, emotion waves rippling in the air around her, soft light glowing from fingertips, coded symbols flowing across her skin like tattoos"

"Urban rooftop at dusk, girl meditating with her drone hovering nearby, NYC skyline in background, Slavic prayer beads in one hand, robotic arm gauntlet glowing with empathy data"

"Underground hacker lair full of old books, digital schematics, robotic limbs, and spiritual iconography—Ukrainian embroidery on walls, African tribal masks, glowing maps of emotional data over neighborhoods"

"Action shot—superhero girl intercepting a crisis, pausing time to read the emotional currents of a crowd, with translucent glyphs in dozens of languages swirling around her body"

Mobile Suit Gundam

I'm not big on war movies/series or mecha anime, so I wasn't expecting to like Gundam very much; however, I quite enjoyed the episodes we had to watch and took a lot away from them. Amuro Ray is a 15-year-old boy who loves electronics and engineering. His interest likely stems from his engineer father working for the Federation. The Federation is at war with the Zeon for reasons I didn't pick up on. The Zeon attack a base on Side 7, where Amuro lives, and many civilians die. Amuro gets in this giant robot suit, known as a Gundam, that the Federation has built to fight the Zeon with. Amuro successfully pilots the Gundam and destroys the Zeon's own mobile suits. Amuro is now officially the pilot for the Gundam and is his responsibility.

A couple things I found interesting:

-Amuro being 15 and now a fully integrated soldier for the Federation. The also mention that many kids his age are fighting as soldiers on the front lines.

-Amuro's encounter with his mother. Zeon forces attack and Amuro tries to shoot in self-defense. Amuro's mother gets mad at him for trying to hurt someone and says she did not raise him to be violent.

-Similarly, Amuro's change in ability to hurt others; at first he could only do it if was against a machine or a mech, but the scene with his mother shows that the war has changed him. Amuro also chooses to continue fighting instead of staying with his mom.

-The show has its moral gray areas which I liked, such as the Federation soldiers being nasty to a civilian woman while Zeon soldiers aid a widow and her child.

-The show was more serious about the war topics than I thought it would be, given it seemed targeted more towards kids. There are heavy themes and visuals, like the bombing at the beginning of the first episode or Ryu's suicide by crashing into the enemy.

Overall, I probably wouldn't keep watching this, but I understand the massive appeal to viewers of all ages. Gundam is probably the most well-known mecha anime to date, with the most recent installment airing in 2022. I'd give the episodes I watched a 6/10.
