I am loving it! The lifestyle side of it is incredible, i have 11 recipes saved already and a list of skincare products to look into.
But moreso i’ve loved the community. Chinese memes are hilarious, i love how they’re in on the chinese spy jokes and we all now pay daily cat tax, if you don’t have your own then store bought or dog tax is fine 😂 I’ve finally figured out stickers and am mutuals with a couple Chinese swifties now which is cool! Her music has always connected me to people before so it feels fitting that i find a little home in swiftbook 😅
Many users have given tutorials and tips on how to best use the app and people have been sharing stuff about our respective cultures. I cried a couple times last night at videos from Chinese users welcoming us and giggled my butt off at roxycats introduction/guidelines video. Roxycat: “Do not shit in my living room” 500 americans in the comments: “yes maam roxy maam🫡”
Some people have described it as feeling like a field trip with a bunch of other schools or a festival high. Everyone’s kinda curious and being kinda silly and extra but i just love it. I’m so glad I signed up when it was still at #8 😂 we kinda overloaded their account signup and people have been getting errors for hours now whej trying to sign up. But 15million downloads overnight can do that I guess 🤣
Oh oh one last thing i love: apparently we’re the personality hire, if you will, of tiktok and people from other countries are leaving tt to follow us to xiaohongshu because we are 90% of their fyp. We’re all like “Omg we thought you hated us😭😭😭” but China + these other digital migrants are being so kind like we are not used to this it’s wild 🥹
I should have saved more thoughout the day but here’s a couple interactions i liked:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.
SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.
SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!
Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?
SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)
Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok
A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)
16 hours later:
Tumblr media
Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.
My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.
So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

🚨 EXCITING NEWS! 🚨 Ever since I announced the publication of TORCH, the long-awaited final book in the trilogy that began with SWIFT and NOMAD, readers have been asking me if TORCH would ever be available as an audiobook. Today I can finally announce that the answer is ✨YES ✨! Thanks to my hard-working publisher @EnclavePublishing and their partnership with @Oasis_Audio, I’m delighted to say that not only will TORCH be coming in audio format, but ALL my previous books with Enclave (KNIFE, REBEL, ARROW, SWIFT and NOMAD) — plus many more great fantasy and SF titles too. I’m thrilled that Oasis Audio has picked up the #NoOrdinaryFairyTale and #FlightandFlameTrilogy books, and I look forward to hearing the finished products. Stay tuned for release dates and buy links — I don’t have that info yet, but I’ll share more details as soon as I can! . . . #swift #swiftbook #nomad #nomadbook #torch #torchbook #speculativefiction #audiobookstagram #audiobook #rjandersonwriter #rjanderson #faerie #fae #fairybooks #faeriebooks #fantasybooks #piskey #cornishpiskies #cornishpisky #cornishfolklore #spriggan #yafantasy #fantasybooklover #fantasyforlife #christianfantasy #IreadYA https://www.instagram.com/p/CULUEY5rT-Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

"It's been a long time coming, but"
Hello, tumblr! Long time no see!
I was wondering if there was anyone around here since the competition field between social media is getting tougher these days and I am really happy to find out that we are still mingling around this wonderful bubble that tumblr is.
The thing is: I’ve had a lot of time to think and read (the perks of being unemployed) and suddenly, I felt really inspired by two people in my universe, which, until now, I didn't recognize their similarities: João Guimarães Rosa and Taylor Swift.
I think we can dispense further introductions towards miss americana, Taylor Swift, innit? Even because this text is for you, swiftie and we already have a long relationship (the best she ever had - not my words, hers) with young miss Alison.
The person who I would like to introduce is Mr João Guimarães Rosa and try to convince you to give the splendid work of this Brazilian writer a chance, because, in my opinion, if you admire Taylor Swift's work as a lyricist, you’ll LOVE  Guimarães (or Guima, as I like to affectionately call him) because like miss Swift,  he is a word person.
João Guimarães Rosa was a Brazilian writer, poet,diplomat, novelist and physician (does this remind you of someone who is a singer, songwriter, doctor, producer, actress, screenwriter, and director? Oh well), who is widely regarded as the most important Brazilian author of the twentieth century and one of the greatest of all time. His work is known for its unique linguistic style as well as for its exploration of themes such as identity, memory, the human condition and, my favourite one: love.
In his most famous novel “Grande Sertão: veredas” (The Devil to Pay in the Backlands), we know the story of Riobaldo, a bandit who lives several dilemmas related to morals, the nature of existence, his identity, the constant doubt about the realization of a pact with the devil (THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL! IYKYK) and his love for his colleague Diadorim. Being that last subject written in such a poetic way that I'm sure it would become the bedside book for all of you.
One of the great characteristics of Guimarães Rosa is the way he uses language. Every phrase is so well written because in its simplicity he can build complex sentence structures that hold so much meaning. I keep catching myself losing my breath everytime I read his work because every single time a side of it that I didn’t get the last time reveals itself to me and I’m blown away all over again. 
Guimarães Rosa employs a distinctive style that combines regional dialects, neologisms (yes, guys, the man could invent WORDS!) and archaic Portuguese to create a unique voice that captures the richness and diversity of Brazilian culture, and in this book, helps to build all the complexity of the feelings of a man who finds himself questioning his nature, his identity while going through the unsettling feeling of being in love with another man in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although regionalism is a constant feature in this book, by dealing with themes such as good and evil, love, hate, God and the devil, betrayal, among others of a philosophical nature, the writer manages to make this narrative universal, so that everyone can recognize themselves within it (I, myself, have the feeling that he reads what is inside my soul… oh wait, can you think about someone that have the same delicacy with the human soul and  that can express the nuances through words that are utterly relatable?).
With that in mind, I cannot help but imagine that being a fan of one of the greatest composers of all time, who manages to be a great storyteller and add poetry to her narrative, you will not like the universe created by Guimarães Rosa and his words.
I want to be clear that I'm not comparing the two because I think Mr. Rosa is incomparable just like Taylor is incomparable, what I'm saying is that god/the universe/whatever you believe has given these two people a precious gift, which is to reach parts of our hearts that we didn't realise were calling out to us.
It breaks my heart that not many people get to witness this man's writing in his mother tongue, Portuguese, as much of his poetry is inextricably linked to the way our language presents itself to the world and much of it is lost in translation. However, I'm sure that regardless of the translation you have access to, Guimarães will make you fall in love with the way the world is seen through his eyes.
All in all, I want to share with you some of my favourite quotes by Guima and I hope that, in a while, you will have favourites of your own.
"
hy in relating something, mention everything, every little detail? That meeting of ours was out-of-the-ordinary, melodramatic, the kind you read of only in newspapers and books. It was not until afterwards that I could put together even what I am telling you now and really understand it -for, when something like this is happening, what you feel mostly is what pertains to the body: the thudding heart.
"Those are one’s hours. The others, those of any time, are everybody hours (...) It is as though life’s trivialities were a pool of water in which we find ourselves submerged, a pool that covers and deadens everything - but once in a rare while we manage to raise our heads out of it, in a sort of miracle: like a little fish begging! Why? I am going to tell you something that is not generally known: always when we begin to love someone, in the normal run of things, love takes root and grows, because, in a way, that is what we want to happen, and so we seek it and help it along in our mind; but when it is predestined, allembrancing, we love completely and fatefully, we have to love, and we come upon one surprise after another. A love of this sort grows first and bursts later."
 “Love inspires love. I tell you it’s so. I think of Diadorim too - but Diadorim is a soft haze.”
“And suddenly I found myself loving him beyond all reason, loving him even more than before. With my heart at his feet, to be trampled upon. I had been loving him the whole time.”
“I never left Diadorim’s side. I felt an urge to eat and drink his leftovers; I wanted to touch whatever he had touched.”
“In my happiness I saw stars.”

🍂 𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐃 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 🍂 . The e-book of NOMAD was released today, and hardcovers should be shipping within the next week or so — which means it’s almost time for the launch party! . I'm just doing a one-day celebration this time around. But I’ll also be doing a draw for a 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙚 to be awarded to one randomly drawn reader who asks me a writing or book-related question (spoilers for SWIFT are allowed!) and also attends my IG Live launch event on 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 @ 𝟕 𝐩𝐦 𝐄𝐒𝐓.* . 🍂 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞? . The winner will get to choose one of two prize options: . 1️⃣ The @enclavepublishing book of your choice.  2️⃣ Thoughtful, personalized feedback on your query letter or first chapter. . Yep, you heard right — that’s ANY book from Enclave’s catalogue (though I admit to being a little biased in favour of KNIFE and its sequels, if you haven’t read those), and if you’re a writer, I’m also prepared to give the most helpful, constructive feedback I can to help your work grab the attention of agents and editors. . So that’s the scoop! If you’ve got questions, feel free to drop them in comments here or send them in a DM before next Monday. I’ll look forward to answering them, and seeing you, at the launch! . . . . . #IreadYA #spriggan #cornishfolklore #flightandflametrilogy #christianfantasy #nomad #yafantasy #fantasyforlife #pixie #fae #fantasy #nomadbook #fairy #cornishmining #piskie #swiftbook #cornishpisky #speculativefiction #faeriebooks #fantasybooklover #fairybooks #faerie #fairybook #faeriebook #piskey #faery #cornishpiskies #fairies #enclavepublishing #noordinaryfairytale https://www.instagram.com/p/CHbkgIsgsMi/?igshid=7nj9s681pcbu

✈️ FLIGHT DELAY ✈️ . Wouldn’t it be nice if books always launched perfectly and on time? But like airplanes, sometimes they get delayed and all the folks who bought tickets are left gloomily wondering what went wrong. . In this case, it was a backlog at the printer that put production of the SWIFT hardcovers behind a few days. So today it’s launching in e-book format — thus this lovely repost of @readingbee.444’s pic — but the limited edition hardcovers won’t be shipping for another week or two. Alas! . That means I won’t be holding my virtual launch for SWIFT until 9/3, to give printed copies a chance to wing their way to the lovely readers who preordered them. But they WILL be coming, I assure you! . And in the meantime, preorders are still available. I even have a couple of ✨ exclusive SWIFT preorder packages ✨ left for the next two readers from ANY country who screencap their receipt and send it to me in DM! . I’ll be sharing more details about my plans for the launch party soon. Thanks for your patience and understanding, and I hope you’ll find SWIFT worth the extra few days’ wait! . . #swift #swiftbook #flightandflametrilogy #enclavepublishing #speculativefiction #fairies #fairy #faery #faerie #fae #fairybook #fairybooks #faeriebooks #faeriebook #fantasy #piskey #pisky #pixie #piskie #cornishpiskies #cornishpisky #cornishfolklore #cornishmining #spriggan #yafantasy #fantasybooklover #fantasyforlife #ireadya #yaauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/CECvUQMAE16/?igshid=1weq54hg9hbvk

DO YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS? 🎧 If so, what was the first one you discovered, and what are your favorites? The first one I listened to was Tim Clare’s writing podcast “Death of 1000 Cuts,” but when I was still obsessed with Star Wars I enjoyed several eps of the brilliant podcast “What The Force” and I’ve also had fun listening to “Stuff You Should Know” and “Stuff You Missed in History Class,” among others. There’s so many great podcasts to choose from! 🎧 I love being on podcasts too, especially bookish ones. So when host Stephen Hurley invited me to talk about SWIFT on the Canadian Launch Podcast, I was delighted to accept! We had a wonderful conversation and he asked some fantastic questions about the book, which led to some topics I’ve never talked about elsewhere. If you’re interested in checking it out, you can find the link in my bio. 🎧 I also have a couple more podcast episodes coming up in the next few weeks, one already recorded and one soon to be so. I’ll let you know when those go up as well! 🎧 So, what about YOUR favorite podcasts? Let’s chat about them in comments! . . . #podcasts #podcast🎧 #canadianlaunch #swift #swiftbook #flightandflametrilogy #enclavepublishing #speculativefiction #fairybooks #faeriebooks #faeriebook #fantasy #piskey #piskie #cornishpiskies #cornishpisky #cornishfolklore #fantasyforlife #christianfantasy #yaauthors #yanovels #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CE79Aq2g0Sq/?igshid=b1dytxhbxnnz

Proudly presenting the beautiful new cover of SWIFT, releasing from @enclavepublishing in August 2020! TO SAVE HER PEOPLE, A WINGLESS GIRL MUST LEARN TO FLY... As a piskey girl born without wings and raised underground, Ivy yearns for flight almost as much as she misses her long-lost mother. But the world outside the Delve is full of danger, and her dreams seem hopeless until she meets a mysterious faery who makes her an enticing offer: If Ivy helps him escape the Delve’s dungeon, he’ll teach her how to fly. Freeing Richard could cost Ivy her reputation, perhaps even her life. But when her fellow piskeys start to disappear and her beloved little sister goes missing, Ivy has no choice but to take the risk. Deadly threats and shocking revelations await Ivy as she ventures into a strange new world, uncovers long-buried secrets about her family’s past, and finds that no one—not even herself—is entirely what they seem. This is Book One in The Flight and Flame Trilogy, and the Limited Edition Hardcover is now available for preorder: http://bit.ly/SwiftRJ #yafantasy #fairybooks #rjandersonwriter #preorder #coverlove #coverreveal #enclavepublishing #august2020 #swift #swiftbook #flightandflametrilogy #EnclaveEscape https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tfqIqpSkC/?igshid=1w1mnrq8yootm

Do you enjoy reading non-fiction books? Or would you rather just lose yourself in a story? . Some people think fantasy authors don’t have to do research because they can just make everything up, but those people usually don’t know much about writing or fantasy. All the best authors I know do lots of research to make their worlds feel rich and well-grounded, and bring in those little concrete details (what Tim Clare calls “crunchy specificity” - isn’t that a delightful phrase?) that can make all the difference between a setting that pulls the reader in and one that seems shallow and evanescent. . So even though the Flight and Flame trilogy is set in present-day Cornwall rather than some imaginary fantasy kingdom, and even though I wanted to put some original twists on the local folklore rather than simply retelling it, I read a lot of folk tales, books and articles about Cornwall during the writing process to make sure my flights of fancy had a solid foundation. Here are three of the most important ones I used for reference — the one on the right is a very specific walking guide to a pretty small area, which just goes to show there’s a book about practically everything if you know where to look for it! . All that being said, I admit to not really loving research. I do it because I feel it’s the right and responsible thing as an author, but I’d much rather read a historical novel than an actual book of history any day! What about you? . . . #writersofinstagram #writingfantasy #research #researching #swift #swiftbook #nomad #nomadbook #torch #torchbook #flightandflametrilogy #enclavepublishing #speculativefiction #fairies #fairy #faery #fae #fairybook #fairybooks #faeriebooks #faeriebook #piskey #pisky #pixie #piskie #cornishpiskies #cornishpisky #cornishfolklore #cornishmining #spriggan https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKZG8BgvG9/?igshid=xijgacvgyap0

Do you enjoy making big decisions and leading other people? Or would you rather not take on that kind of responsibility? 👑 Personally, I’ve been known to take charge of a situation or project when nobody else seems willing and nothing’s going to get done otherwise, but I don’t really enjoy bossing others around and I’d much rather do the work all on my own than have to tell other people how to do it! 👑 The heroine of BEYOND THE SHADOWED EARTH, though, is a fiery young queen determined to be Empress of half the world, and who spends much of the early chapters of the book pushing for a grand building project that she’s convinced must be finished no matter what obstacles stand in the way. 👑 Eda is prickly, sharp-tongued, and consumed with ambition and pride, which makes her rather unlikeable at first. But her backstory is so compelling, and there’s so much humanity and vulnerability beneath her hard surface, that I found myself turning the pages avidly to find out what would happen to her next. I won’t spoil any of the story for you, but @gamwyn pulls off a remarkable narrative feat in taking Eda through a painful but satisfying character journey and revealing the truth behind her beliefs and actions. 👑 Anyway, if you’ve enjoyed Megan Whalen Turner’s Attolia series, there’s a good chance you’ll appreciate this book too. I downloaded the e-book from Netgalley and the formatting was terrible, but I still couldn’t put it down! . . #swiftbookstagramchallenge Day 8: The Joan - Fictional Female Ruler . . . #joannaruthmeyer #gamwyn #beyondtheshadowedearth #bookstagram #bookstagramchallenge #bookchallenge #bookphotochallenge #augustbookchallenge #bookishchallenge #challenge #swift #swiftbook #flightandflametrilogy #yafantasy #fantasybooklover #fantasyforlife #ireadya #yalit #yabooks #yabookstagram #bookaddict #youngadultbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpIRQsgMGu/?igshid=17xte21j8ba8h

Guess what flew in to my mail this week? . Isn’t it gorgeous? I know the finished hardcover is sure to be even more beautiful, but it’s exciting to have the ARC in my hands! . Today it’s been so weirdly cold that we had snow flurries (why. WHY.) but I’m realizing more and more that August is only three months away! As we get closer to the release date I’ll be sharing more preorder incentives and other goodies, but right now I’m still in the planning and prep stages and it’s making my head whirl. So much to be done and so much more that I *could* do... . Have you participated in any cool preorder campaigns or giveaways recently? What kinds of incentives do you enjoy? . . #rjandersonwriter #enclaveescape #enclavepublishing #yabooks #IReadYA #yareads #speculativefiction #christianfantasy #fairybooks #flightandflametrilogy #swift #swiftbook #arc #advancedreaderscopy #cornishpixies #cornishpixie https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8O1hSArD0/?igshid=u0zdm8ypveg9
