On the You Yao (Are You OK) Novel

Writing propaganda on You Yao really reminded me of how much I love the novel and the donghua adaptation. The donghua is already very good on its own, but I also greatly recommend reading the original novel. The donghua changed a lot of stuff (and they were good, reasonable changes—no complaints about that), so the novel, although still similar in essence, just hits quite differently.

The novel’s prose is simple and direct. Not many descriptions on backgrounds and what the characters are feeling. The author shows it all through dialogues and actions. It’s almost like reading a chat fic, but with longer paragraphs. So when you start reading it, you expect it to be just another fun, light read, but then… while still being as simple and direct, it suddenly drops bombs straight into your heart, and it’s like—oh. oh.

Like, on one hand, you get funny exchanges like this:

“In the past, fighting relied on blades, then it relied on firearms. Do you know what it relies on now?” Lou Zhu straightened up and solemnly said, “What?” Lin Kai said, “Public opinion.”

But then, seemingly out of nowhere, you get lines like this that just makes you pause and think:

“I was not afraid of death at all. I was just afraid of him, afraid that he’s still waiting for me to go back home.”

Reading You Yao is an experience, so you should definitely check it out.

I told my students they're allowed to be creative and don't have to be factual when writing about themselves in German because I keep getting questions like "what if I don't have roommates or what if I don't have hobbies" and I'm like guys just make something up! Have fun! I won't fact check you!

So now I am grading homework where a student is claiming to be from North Korea and his hobby is tax fraud

omg they did the wicked thing ! !

just finished reading til the latest chapter of And They Were Roommates by @dreadpirateurania13

gosh i have so much to say about this fic, first off the world building was so much fun to learn about. i didnt grew up an ever after high gurly so i dunno which things are straight from the source material and which are a personal spin but regardless, it was pretty stellar mix of both things !

i am so happy the whole gang is here, it's always a treat to see all of them present in the story on a fic ! and the evolution of varigo's relationship here was hella fun to witness shift over the course of the story, they are so elphaba and glinda coded in the best of ways. I especially love how well set up their clashing beliefs and convictions were, being interwoven to the system they are forced to participate in and watch them develop an ounce of understanding for the other's opinions eventually. also love how natural it felt seeing hugo slowly get dragged involved in varian's circle of friends the way that he did !

and the way vat7k core elements (like varian decoding ulla's research) was slowly implemented into the lore as the plot thickens was so seamlessly done i loved it so much like oughh i ate that up !

overall i enjoyed this fun fic a lot and i am eagerly waiting for the True Hearts Day chapter ! [hyperventilating]

an 8-page rinniki comic i set out to finish for for niki's birthday and i DID

it's sooo hard to write romance idk how some people do it! i need to make a joke every 2.5 seconds or i combust. anyway i hope you enjoyed!! niki is my #1. when i had just discovered enstars and was just looking thru the characters on the wiki my friend showed me niki's autograph signature and was like look it's a frying pan you will probably like him. and they were SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on granola: you can rly play around with the recipe because if you add more honey the granola clumps together more; more peanut butter means it gets crumblier. i've experimented with swapping pb with tahini (great results) and olive oil (meh flavor). i imagine swapping honey for maple syrup could also work but im a honeyhead i cant abandon it... a dash of cardamom with the cinnamon also rules. basically... endless granola!!!!!!

what they don't tell you is that a well-written fic can get you to ship anything, and i mean ANYTHING. notp? not anymore. you will stay up late thinking about and crying over them for the rest of your life. characters you don't even know from a piece of media you've never engaged with? fuck it, they belong to you now. problematic ship that you loved to hate and now just love to love, that you must never tell your friends about? don't worry, ao3 knows how to keep a secret. like. a well-written fic will have you acting UP and that's a fact baby !!
