nothing like a video game series about nature and ecology to demonstrate that fanfic writers really only know how to write character dramas
i would love it if pokémon fans would actually engage with the text instead of doing normal fandom character tropefic
« Oh to be a wild woman living amongst wooper and having their smiley faces greet me upon waking. »
@maya mostly for me; the links and search engines are all things i use regularly
in particular i think it would be a bit weird and unexpected for somebody else to make that page their browser home page, even though it is mine. in an age of neocities and github pages they can easily just fork it and give it the links which would be useful to them
however i think you can learn interesting things about people by looking at the tools they use. so while i don't think other people will necessarily make extensive use of my homepage, i do think they can learn interesting things about me through it
@maya along the lines of Tim BL’s “the homepage doesn't need to be the landing page” i’ve been thinking of splitting off the useful components, maybe into a /Portal/, and making the root more fun/informative with things like current status, random quotes, maybe a word of the day, eventually small games, and that sort of thing
but it's not really a priority for me so i haven't fully mapped out exactly what it will look like
@maya i've been thinking about making changes to it but before i do, you may be interested in my homepage, https://go.kibi.family, in that it literally is what pops up when i open a new tab
@aescling “good straight person” is like saying “cool square”
cutest part of cat
@noelle i like you ellie
“i don't really like her; i just feel if i stopped following her my timeline would get substantially less interesting”
@aescling okay, to raise it a little, it's better than neoliberal technocracy
@aescling i mean it's better than fascism
instagram if you know i live in washington state then why the hell are you telling me to register to vote
maybe i will go sit in the sun for a bit so i don't get depression from being inside all the time
*steps outdoors* oh, it smells like smoke. nevermind
@coriander « The neighbor brought a suit against Wang, alleging that Yingning was a demon spirit. The county magistrate, who thought of Wang as an admirable man of talent and knew he was a scholar of sincere and honest intentions, determined that the old neighbor was making a false accusation, and was about to have him beaten as punishment. Wang interceded to have the sentence dropped, so the matter was cleared up and the neighbor released. »
@coriander if i remember correctly the neighbours try to sue the girl but the presiding official is just like, “no”
@coriander ANYWAY i think fucking a soggy knot because you thought it was the beautiful girl next door is a hell of a way to go out
@coriander but yeah chinese fiction (and like the language itself tbh) is both incredibly blunt and absolutely replete with subtext and i love both of these things
it does take some getting used to though; the first time i read a chinese ghost story i was just like “……that's it??” and it took reading quite a few of them before i started to Understand
@coriander this is also a thing in chinese fiction more generally, like the beginning of Journey to the West has this Bit where Sun Wukong goes around and messes up everyone's shit and the narrative just explains in the driest possible matter how whatever aggrieved party then sent a formal petition of complaint to the Emperor of Heaven before immediately dropping that thread and moving on to the next shenanigan
and anyway this is hilarious, to me
@coriander it's from Strange Tales from Liaozhai, a chinese zhiguai/chianqi collection by pu songling
zhiguai developed out of an earlier historical tradition and generally purported to be records of true events despite being ghost stories. the focus is supposedly on describing exactly what occurred for posterity rather than weaving an entertaining narrative. however on account of being stories of the strange, what happens is often itself absurd or entertaining and frequently quite funny. this contrast between the interesting subjectmatter and the dry prose form is part of their charm, imo
