Have just begun watching “The Spirealm” with Huang Junjie and Xia Zhiguang 🌸 It’s not my usual genre, but since it is perhaps a Chinese BL or danmei, it is rather remarkable that is is airing at all. The idea is that people are drawn into a computer game where they can die in the real world if they die in the game. There is suspense and a delicate chemistry between the leads.
I'm into #anime (recent loves: Vinland Saga, Gundam Witch), #seiyuu (I will watch/listen to anything with Maeno Tomoaki, #games (farming life in HSR and Genshin Impact), #danmei (recent loves: Panguan), #Nijisanji (but mostly clips watcher now because what is free time? Kagami, ROFMAO and Shu). Also excited for #GoodOmens season 2, and an occasional watcher of DropoutTV. Unhealthily obsessed with Legend of the Galactic Heroes
#Introduction I'm here to listen to you gush about your passions!! These days I'm into #Symphogear, #IdolAnime, and #Yuri (#LGBT anything, tbh). I also really like #TheUntamed/#CQL, #DanMei, #WuXia, and will get around to reading all of #MXTX one of these days. I'm also a language student, mainly #Mandarin and #Japanese atm. Oh I'm also probably the biggest fan of "#Ojou" type characters in #Anime that you know...a little weird/niche but hey, that's why we're on this instance, right?!?!
Fascinating field notes from genuinely one of the most contested and policed spaces of public expression and art, slash fanfiction. The Chinese example here is well-observed, but to a large extent it happens here in Southeast Asia as well to varying degrees (e.g. IP bans of known fandom-heavy spaces are common)
Have just begun reading volume 2 of “Guardian” 🌸 The book arrived yesterday so I want to read it right away. I finished reading the prologue of “Stars of Chaos” so think it makes sense to read “Guardian” now before the actual plot begins. Besides volume 3 of “Stars of Chaos” might be out by the time I finish this book.
There’s a manhua stand at Fantasy Basel and they had #DesharowMerman vol 1 in German! Has anyone read that yet? I tried reading the fan translation a while ago and couldn’t get through it, so I’m happy to find a different version. 🧜♂️
I can’t remember, did I say here that my book club is currently reading #TheyAllSayIveMetAGhost by #CyanWings? It’s a very quick read (nice to have a break from epics!) and so far, it’s hilarious. Plus, it’s an E. Danglars translation! #danmei
Hi, I'm AHaplessBystander or HB. I'm sometimes a #fanfic#writer and a perpetual media student. I migrated from Twitter and Tumblr before that tho I'm still around both.
I'm doing the book bingo challenge and as it seems I'm doing way better this year than the last, I decided to do the bingo again--but this time as a danmei edition!
So far on my list I have the following books/series:
MDZS
SVSSS
TGCF
stars of chaos
2ha
silent reading
mr. melancholy wants to live a peaceful life
(I also have the new fan translation of Guardian but I'm not sure I can read it.)
I mean, I think that list has enough volumes to fill the bingo card but just in case I end up using the whole novel as one bingo slot... GIMME MORE!
Hi all, I'm Neon! It's exciting to see so many new people! I'm into:
#seiyuu: show me Maeno and I'll consume the media #anime: just finished Gundam Witch, recently into Vinland Saga, extremely obsessed with Legend of the Galactic Heroes #danmei: some favs are Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know, SVSSS, Panguan, Married Thrice to Salted Fish #manga: talk to me about Akatsuki no Yona, JJK (BUT I AM VERY BEHIND) #game: Honkai star rail, genshin impact
What is the state of #danmei fandom on Mastodon? Asking for a friend, because I’m not personally into this specific topic and can’t therefore give informed answers to the questions directed at me 😅
Just beginning to reading a new danmei series, “Golden Terrace” 🌸 which was recommended to me by @geraineon. After a quick break reading some Japanese manga, I’m ready for the more complex world of these novels. Masha, the tiny black kitty, is ready for sofa time 😺📚
