AO3 is down. My sorrow is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Gentle reminder to download your favorite fics.
"Hello 🫂
My name is Bilal from Gaza, I barely escaped the horrors of war and had to pay a large sum of money to escape. Today, I and some of my family members live in Egypt, but life here is very difficult and expensive, and we do not have a residence permit. Most of my family and loved ones are still in Gaza, suffering from even harsher conditions. I set a goal to raise 3,300 pounds to secure our basic needs, and only 290 pounds are left to achieve this goal. Your support now is not just a donation, it is a real relief for humanity in need, and a rescue for a family that is a simple step away from disaster. Be the reason for changing our lives for the better, and open the door of hope for us. To help, please donate via this link: https://gofund.me/ba5b76e9"
Please help if you can!

Heyyy TGCF fandom! 👋🏼 I just finished the books, and I'm fairly new here and would love to get involved in the fandom a bit more. So I am searching for TGCF friends and moots, so if you're 24+ and have space for one more friend, I would love to meet you!
I love anime, manga, BL, drawing, writing, poetry, horses, music, and probably much more, so please don't hesitate to shoot me a message or just like this post and I'll reach out to you, if you're too shy! ❤️🤍
Boycott hoyoverse, please.
I used to be a big genshin impact lore buff, i played, i read, i was on forums, i made fanart, and then i was deeply disrespected by the game itself (this post is about natlan)
I am brazilian and i follow a religion named candomblé. Long story short, its from yoruba people who were sent to brazil as slaves, then went through a big process of spreading out to not just black people, but light-skinned people of lower classes like my family. We believe in the creation by Olorum, the power of Axé, and the Orixás.
Natlan, as of now, has two characters named Iansan and Ororon. These names come from not just the yoruba predecessors of candomblé, but also the religion itself, the Orixá deities Iansã and Olorum.
My religion, my deities. My mother's deities. The statuettes in my house. Their names are recycled cheaply to be used trivially. Never have we of candomblé ever gotten mentioned by AAA games or films that give such attention to detail like Genshin does, and we are disrespected. Our Gods are used like rags for someone's profit to be thrown away, washed out. They do not convey our beauty, our grit, our wonder, they do not convey us but they profit from us.
People love to tell us that it is just a game, but think again: games are not entitled to disrespect us just because of their nature. We are entitled to complain, to scream, because this is cruelty. You brutalize our image, butcher our names, for what?
When I was younger, I used to look at games with religious imagery very curiously. It was always weird to see the faith of the people I know be used for aesthetic reasons or just because it looks cool. The same has now happened to me, but times worse. People will say anything to justify this mockery and throw excuses to keep playing the product of a corporation that won't ever understand what it means to be us.
Boycott, complain, scream, because I will do it too. I regret the time I invested in playing, in reading, in watching, in dedicating myself to something that would never do me justice. It is not expensive to change a character's name, not even talking about the model. I don't plan on re-entering the fandom while it still lies unaware of the gross source material's true colors. Candomblé is not mythology, it's faith. We are alive. We have existed for centuries and will continue to grow, despite the challenges we face.

I'm so happy to announce, also for this year, the prompts for Shiguang Fluff Week! It will run from 14th April to 20th April. Here you will find all the information 💙
beautiful, wonderful, amazing, I’m eating this idea for supper.
I just thought of an idea that is actually cute but I actually like to here some feedback on this idea so if I want to write it, I’ll know it’s in line with the characters & hopefully it will be a neat idea. Especially if you’re a shipper (particularly of Danstelle/Dancae) or fanfic writer like me.
So my idea is of something that was inspired by the wardance. When I first head that term, my autistic brain translated that to being a dance where the astral express get to dance romantically with people & we possibly get a dance sequence of the trailblazer & Dan Heng dancing together. But actuality, it was a duel tradition. I was a bit sad to hear that, but I still enjoy the story, I just wanted to see Dan Heng & The trailblazer in love with dancing.
Which leads into my idea— why don’t I just use that prompt & use it to make some cute content for shipping & stuff that relates to me being self indulgent with this idea.
Let me know what you think of this idea & feel free to give suggestions if you like. I love to hear what you guys think of this & hear what you think what would work with this. Maybe this will help with the creativity slump I’ve been struggling with in fanfiction writing on here.
