Miraculous Twinflame

A war between ancient rivals, two strange trees filled with primordial beings, and two innocent bystanders coerced to return balance to the world.

Lore drop below cut:

Characters:

Kisu Yoko: The protagonist of Miraculous Twinflame, Yoko is an upbeat guy who always has the right attitude! He is the chosen champion of King Oberon and the bearer of Seel, the Painted Cat of Formation, a Kwami from the Seelie Tree. In his daily life he attends Yosei High and works part time at Cafe Fair, but whenever there's a Fae attack in Sen City, he transforms into the magical hero Kintsugi to defend the town! He partnered up with another hero known as Jam who he considers his best friend.

Jiki Juju: The deutragonist of Miraculous Twinflame, Juju is a withdrawn cynical girl who would much rather be anywhere else than where she is at all times. She is the bearer of Uuse, the Achromic Cat of Absolution, a Kwami from the Unseelie Tree. She attends Yosei High during the day and works as an intern at Opal Inc. during afternoons. Whenever a new Fae surfaces in Sen City, Juju somewhat reluctantly becomes a hero in roller skates who goes by Jam. She works in a partnership with Kintsugi under false pretenses, ready to betray him at every turn if it gets her closer to snatching his Kwami away.

King Oberon: Once a powerful Fairy King, Oberon has been reduced to a human form after losing his wife Titania in war. Trapped in the mortal world, he now guards the Seelie Tree and operates Cafe Fair under the alias of Yoshi Orio. He mentors Yoko, but keeps his distance from Jam since she is an Unseelie Kwami user.

Queen Mab: Mab is a powerful Fairy Queen and the known killer of Titania, wife of Oberon and her own sister. After conquering the entire Fairy Realm, she set her sights on locating Oberon and the Seelie Tree and followed him to the Mortal Realm. She took on the identity Mariya Opal and became the head of Opal Inc., using her resources to open gateways to the Fairy Realm and bring through Fae creatures to draw out Oberon and his Seelie Kwamis.

Seelie and Unseelie Kwamis: Magical creatures born inside unique fairy trees. They hold power over a concept unique to them and they are each tied to a piece of Miraculous Jewellery.

Locations:

The Mortal Realm: Earth, the plane of humans.

Sen City: A semi rural city in Japan where Miraculous Twinflame takes place. It's located between dense forests and hills, which makes it somewhat difficult to access and a very unlikely travel destination. The people populating it are very loyal to the city and tend to dislike the idea of outsiders. They're never outright hostile, but they will most likely avoid people with no ties to Sen City. Younger people are usually more open minded, but it's more often than not just an act of rebellion against the older generation than genuine acceptance.

Yosei High: One of the two high schools in Sen City. Yosei High's curriculum focuses more on humanities so it tends to be less popular with ambitious students interested in furthering their education in science.

Chairo High: The other high school in Sen City with more focus on science and getting students into big league universities.

Cafe Fair: A cozy hole in the wall cafe owned and run by Yoshi Orio. The amazing drinks are rumored to lift the soul itself. Despite everyone who wants to stop by for a drink knowing where it is, the cafe sometimes is really hard to find.

Opal Inc.: A company famous for their ready made meals. Despite primarily dealing with food, they also branch out into agriculture and scientific research. The CEO, Mariya Opal, decided to oversee a smaller location tucked away inside Sen City for some reason.

Moya Forest: A foggy, thick forest with mystical qualities.

The Fairy Realm: The realm of fairies, where all the fairies, fae and Kwamis originate from.

Misc.:

The Seelie Tree: A fairy tree that houses the 12 Seelie Kwamis. Presently only four remain inside the tree. Seven are unaccounted for and one has been given out to Kisu Yoko. Located inside the hidden glasshouse in Cafe Fair.

The Unseelie Tree: A fairy tree that houses the 12 Unseelie Kwamis. Presently only six remain inside the tree. Five are unaccounted for and one has been given out to Jiki Juju. Located inside the basement of Opal Inc.

Gateways: Gates between realms.

Fairies: Intellectual fairy creatures. Some really powerful ones can ascend to Kinghood/Queenhood.

Fae: Fairy beasts, animals, can be intelligent but usually listen more to instinct.

Pixie: The distant cousins of Kwamis, much easier and common to come by, but less powerful.

Changeling: A creature ment to replicate humans grown by fairies.

My take on ao3 censorship discourse (please note censorship or lack thereof is for my own comfort) -

So I’ve been seeing the ao3 censorship discourse doing the rounds again and it’s always the same thing;

A) why does ao3 allow for inc*st, p*dophilia, zoo, rpf, etc? That’s horrible and disgusting! Why can’t they get rid of it?

B) actually, censoring ao3 would lead to the false accusations of (insert illegal thing) towards LGBTQ people and minorities and lead to targeted arrests and discrimination against them, just because these things are posted doesn’t mean the author/reader actually agrees with it, etc. ao3 isn’t a safespace, go back to wattpad/quotev/tiktok/etc. (alternatively; ao3 IS a safe space so you should never speak ill of any author or type of content regardless of if it makes you uncomfortable)

And then more back and forth arguing that devolves into accusations and shit.

But it’s really not that simple and ik I shouldn’t expect nuance on the internet but this is just idiotic.

Two things can be true at once. Those things can make people uncomfortable, should be properly disclosed, and people should understand that yes, sometimes the people writing/reading it are genuinely into/pro p*dophilia, inc*st, etc. and you have the right to not want to see that. It is also true that censorship of things based purely on the morality of fiction has never not devolved into discrimination against everyday people (queer folk and visible minorities typically being hit the first and hardest).

So yes, you can hate something. You can find stuff so morally reprehensible and disgusting that not only do you never want to see it, but you think nobody should ever see it or create it, and that’s fine. But, unfortunately, there is no way to censor a place like ao3 without causing some modicum of damage to many minorities. Even by simply being associated with this debate I have seen negative, false opinions being formed about the LGBTQ community in particular linking folks of the community with actual criminals and related crimes at a time where we cannot afford to let this kind of rhetoric join popular discourse.

To the people saying to censor ao3; please remember that censorship only ever functions in an ideal world and in any other capacity is simply a gateway to discrimination.

To the people bitching about folks wanting to censor ao3 - people are allowed to express their discomfort over actual crimes without being ridiculed. And sometimes people that write stereotypically morally reprehensible stuff actually support doing said morally reprehensible stuff, and that’s bad.

In general, stop making sweeping generalizations.

You know what could work as a solution? Fucking community notes for fics before reading the fic. ‘Reader recommended tags’ being added for filtering so that authors can’t omit details and jump scare folks. Archive warnings being expanded so that they include warnings for inc*st, zoo, and p*do content.

Wow, pretty simple.

Books read in 2024; asterisks * denote rereads. Favorites this year were Ian McEwan & Donna Tartt, LOVE a good coming-of-age story with a perceptive & melodramatic protagonist set in that liminal period between childhood and adulthood!! Pretty sure the main reason I grabbed the Donna Tartt books while thrifting was just from seeing the occasional tumblr user obsess about them, and oh man I was not disappointed! It is rare that I speed through a 600-page novel but, ugh, the way she puts words together is so riveting. Dickensian levels of detail! Speaking of which, I did actually read a Dickens book this year, Great Expectations, which ended up on my list a few years ago after a stranger on the bus tried to initiate conversation with me by asking what I was reading. He said that Great Expectations was his favorite book, and I was like, “oh cool, I read that in high school, I liked it,” and he was like, super excited that I had also read his fave classic. Well, later on after I got off the bus, I realized I had gotten that title confused with The Great Gatsby (which I did read in high school along with millions of other Americans probably) and I felt bad for accidentally deceiving Random Guy on the Bus, so the next time I saw a copy of Great Expectations at the thrift store, I picked it up. Not bad!!

What else? I’m very late to the Elena Ferrante party, but I enjoyed My Brilliant Friend in text form wayyy better than my attempt to listen to the audiobook five years ago (I just could not follow the audio version and couldn’t get into the story). Charles Peterson’s Touch Me I’m Sick was a fave photo book of the year; it had been on my list since 2015, whoops (I had to interlibrary loan it). This year I read a pretty even mix of books from my to-read list (earliest titles added 2015), books from my to-read pile (items I have thrifted within the past few years), and random interruptions to those lists. Oh, I also read a TON of essays and articles about artists’ books (not listed above) for the class I took at Rare Book School in the summer. I read a couple painfully healing books about motherhood and adoption (The Primal Wound / Nancy Newton Verrier & The Emotionally Absent Mother / Jasmin Lee Cori) that I wish I could’ve encountered earlier in my life but also who knows, maybe this year was cosmically the perfect time for my brain to be receptive. I picked up Alas, Babylon because it was a title I remembered seeing my dad reading at the kitchen table one time when I was a kid. (It’s a 1959 novel about surviving in post-nuclear apocalypse small-town Florida; there is some light misogyny and racism of its era, but also the librarian plays an important role, which I thought was sweet. A couple paragraphs are devoted to the librarian’s perennial struggles [pre-apocalypse] to secure funding, to keep the populace’s attention in spite of modern distractions like tv and air conditioning!) Finally, I also really enjoyed Moon Shot (which I took with me to the eclipse on April 8); here's what I wrote about it in my reading spreadsheet: “The writing style wasn’t particularly phenomenal, yet I was still moved to tears several times while reading … about witnessing the beauty of space, the thrill of exploration, the astronauts’ successes and tragedies, and at the end, the simplicity and sentimentality and symbolism of the Apollo-Soyuz friendships. I can’t help but wonder what the fuck it is about billionaires … that they seemingly don’t become overwhelmed with the desire to save and protect our fragile planet after seeing it from space, a feeling many astronauts seem to have experienced.”

In general, I do most of my reading on the bus during my commutes to and from work, so I get in about 30-60 minutes per day of reading. But also this year I had several incidents of extensive sustained silent reading due to long waiting periods during travel – I read at least the first 100 pages of The Secret History while I was stuck overnight at Newark Airport in July; in August, I read almost all of Parable of the Talents on an Amtrak from Atlanta to Greensboro, then a chunk of Great Expectations on the way back. It was so nice to have that kind of IMMERSIVE, hours-long reading experience again! And especially with such richly detailed & descriptive stories! In 2025 I hope to be able to devote more time to slow, analog reading.

DesiCinema: A Celebration of South Asian Storytelling

In a world increasingly shaped by global content, there's something uniquely powerful about stories that reflect your roots — the language, the emotions, the shared history. That’s where DesiCinema steps in: a vibrant, ever-growing space dedicated to celebrating the diverse and dynamic world of South Asian cinema. Whether you're into the latest Bollywood blockbuster, a gripping Pakistani drama, or a Tamil indie gem flying under the radar, desi cinemas is your gateway to it all.

More Than Just Movies

DesiCinema isn't just about films — it's about the cultural fabric woven into every scene, every melody, every dramatic pause. South Asian cinema is a massive umbrella that includes productions from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It’s a world where languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, and Malayalam coexist, each bringing its own flavor, storytelling tradition, and cinematic language.

For decades, Bollywood has dominated the international perception of South Asian cinema — and rightly so, with its star-studded productions, larger-than-life song sequences, and iconic dialogues. But in recent years, there's been a growing hunger for regional cinema and indie films that are breaking stereotypes and telling raw, authentic stories. desi cinema gives space to both: the glitzy big-budget hits and the smaller films with big heart.

A Bridge for the Diaspora

One of the most beautiful things about DesiCinema is the way it connects the global South Asian diaspora. For millions living outside the subcontinent — from New York to London to Toronto — these films serve as a cultural lifeline. They offer a glimpse into evolving traditions, generational conflicts, and social transformations happening back home.

Whether it’s through nostalgia-inducing family sagas, modern love stories with cross-cultural twists, or gritty political dramas, DesiCinema speaks to experiences that many South Asians abroad resonate with deeply. It brings families together for weekend movie nights, sparks conversations about identity, and keeps ancestral languages alive in subtle yet powerful ways.

The Rise of Digital Access

Thanks to the boom in streaming platforms, DesiCinema is more accessible than ever. Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Zee5, and SonyLIV have broadened their South Asian offerings, showcasing everything from timeless classics to contemporary masterpieces. At the same time, independent platforms and YouTube channels have made it easier to discover hidden gems, short films, and cross-border collaborations.

This digital democratization of DesiCinema has allowed newer voices to emerge. Talented directors from small towns are telling stories rooted in their realities — and audiences are loving it. No longer restricted by traditional film studios, these creators are rewriting what South Asian cinema looks and sounds like.

A Community, Not Just Content

DesiCinema is more than a catalog of films — it’s a growing community. Fans engage in passionate discussions online, analyzing plot twists, celebrating performances, and debating which actor gave the best monologue of the year. Podcasts, Instagram pages, YouTube reviews, and film critique blogs have become part of the experience, making it interactive and immersive.

There’s also a renewed appreciation for film music, especially with nostalgic throwbacks and remixes dominating playlists. Who doesn’t have a movies -inspired Spotify playlist these days?

Looking Ahead

As DesiCinema continues to evolve, it's exciting to see how it's pushing boundaries — not just geographically, but creatively. We're seeing cross-industry collaborations, experimental storytelling, and greater representation of LGBTQ+ narratives, marginalized communities, and untold histories.

Ultimately, DesiCinema is a mirror — sometimes reflecting society’s brightest hopes, other times its darkest realities. But through it all, it remains an incredibly powerful medium of expression for South Asia’s rich tapestry of cultures.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or just dipping your toes into this cinematic universe, one thing’s for sure: DesiCinema is not just a genre or a region — it’s an emotion.
