Hey, so lately the only social media I've been using is my Mastodon account, https://sakurajima.moe/@lethekazhorai. Follow me there if you're on fedi.

I also have a new blog: https://letheka.yoshino.garden/

See you on the other side.

Tumblr Migration

We are aware that people on Tumblr are looking for a new home. If you know any Japanese media fandom or creators who are looking to move to the Fediverse, we do have plenty of capacity (thanks to the recent migration to a more powerful server). Each have large character limits.

Sakurajima is the Mastodon server I started as an alternative to the birdsite. The aim is to build a safe, inclusive, and fun Japanese media fandom and creator community like we have back in the early 2010s and late 2000s. We have a diverse moderator team and of course, it's run by an Asian American. We have a good number of creators on our server.

Sakurajima Mastodon: https://sakurajima.moe Sakurajima Social (Misskey/Sharkey)- https://sakurajima.social.

Urusai Social, who we are close to is an option, but has a smaller character limit, but a good community. We have them in our bubble timeline (hopefully the Bubble timeline feature for GlitchSoc will be a reality soon as the admin of Wet Dry World is working on that) - https://urusai.social

For general fandom (other than Japanese media), https://blorbo.social may be a good choice.

Note: We do not recommend big servers like Mastodon Social, Art, and online.

Yeah, bye.

I may still make posts to promote cool stuff that I did or other people did on this blog and on @leagueofgardens, but I don't feel any more welcome on this site than I do on Twitter.

I've already started checking out the English-speaking side of the Fediverse, hopefully it's not a ghost town for my interests like Cohost is. Will share my handle here once I feel confident I'm going to be active on that account.

For those keeping score, CEO of Automattic/Wordpress/Tumblr Matt Mullenweg posted a video today from a comedian who praises JK Rowling and hangs out with known transphobes Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, a day after tracking down a trans woman he banned from Tumblr and harassing her on Twitter after his "I am not a transphobe" posts.

I’m sick 😞 😷

[lethekazhorai]

I'm really tired of every website that's large enough to have an English-speaking community for my ludicrously obscure interests (meaning, like, three other people usually) self-destructing in an explosion of bigotry.

Maybe I'll just stick to the Japanese side of the internet from now on.

If it comes out someday that Discord is systematically anti-trans too, there goes the very last place where I can talk to people in English.

I HAVE WORK

Was seriously worried I might not be able to even pay int'l shipping on the Sanngriðr blu-ray in May, but that won't be a problem now.

[lethekazhorai]

I wonder just who the people spamming my notifications on Mastodon (probably the most tech-savvy social media network there is) with a random Discord link are expecting to join it.

They aren't even bothering with a lie that I won cash or crypto or anything. Only with a Discord link. As an image.

Femslash February 2024

While I've been too scatterbrained to write anything new for Femslash February so far, I thought I would seize the opportunity to highlight my existing femslash fics. It would make me very happy if anyone read them, since they're mostly sitting at double or triple digit hit counts at the moment.

I consider these fics of mine definitely femslash:

A Dream Where All the Flowers Bloom (Assault Lily, Shenlin Kuo/everyone, 24k words, T rating): Even though she has Yujia, Shenlin embarks on a journey to confess her love to every other girl in Team Hitotsuyanagi, one after the other... but her reasons for doing it are more complex than just loving them. Slightly angsty poly romance with a happy ending. (Despite the fic title, it does not take place in a dream.)

The Girl Who Wished She Were a Cat (Assault Lily, Tazusa Ando/Mai Thi Yoshimura, 10k words, M rating for violence): An AU prequel to Assault Lily Bouquet where Mai is a Boosted Lily and rescues Tazusa from GEHENA personally. Tragic romance with an ending that's maybe happy, maybe not. It's also a bit of a dead dove fic. Approach with caution.

Bánh Mì (Assault Lily, Mai Thi Yoshimura/Yuyu Shirai, 2k words, G rating): Mai makes Yuyu something nice for her birthday. Fluffy and very subdued romance.

A Sickness of the Heart (Labyrinth of Galleria, Eureka de Soleil/Nachiroux Colbert, 2k words, T rating): Nachiroux falls ill, and Eureka fusses over her. Fluffy and not-so-subdued romance.

These fics are, admittedly, borderline:

Hifumi's Squad Meeting (Blue Archive, Hifumi Ajitani/Azusa Shirasu, 2k words, G rating): Azusa introduces her girlfriend, Hifumi, to her family. Mostly comedy, but they are girlfriends. Even if Azusa isn't too great at the whole "showing affection" thing.

Hitotsuyanagi Kitty (Assault Lily, Riri Hitotsuyanagi/Tazusa Ando, 2k words, T rating): Riri mysteriously turns into a cat and Tazusa ends up taking care of her. Mostly comedy, and Riri is a cat, but I think I made the ending quite sweet.

If you check out any of these fics, I hope you enjoy the read!

I do have one new fic idea brewing and I hope I'll be able to write it before the end of the month. No promises, though.

Spoilers for Crymachina

(If you've cleared the Edenic Essence NET you're good)

Enoa had better get a happy ending or I'm going to riot.

You and me both, pal.
