it’s always extra special when someone leaves a kudos or comment on one of your older fics. like you’re telling me you scrolled all the way down/filtered through all the works in the fandom and clicked on my fic, even though it was posted months and months ago? and you LIKED IT? you showed it some love even though it’s been collecting dust for months?
and this, everyone, is how you make a writer‘s entire week.

Control of TikTok in the US has just been given over to Oracle, a major tech company known for its closeness with the Trump administration. Today on Jan 22, 2026, the privacy policy and terms of service for using the app changed. You are not able to open the app unless you click “agree” on a new pop up, but they do not lay out what you are agreeing to. I took the liberty of reading the new tos and privacy policy and it is FUCKED.
DO NOT AGREE TO THEIR NEW TERMS OF SERVICE!!!
I am not done reading yet but I had to make a disclaimer right now because what I have read so far is so disturbing. I will make a full update once I have finished reading it all but so far some of the biggest things that have stuck out to me are
They have a whole section about medical data they are collecting. They are collecting data from videos, comments, and private messages posted as well as IDENTIFYING THINGS IN THE BACKGROUND OF VIDEOS AND BODILY CUES that may indicate physical or mental illness
They are also using the same method of scanning videos (both posted and unposted), CAMERA ROLL, messages, and comments for a variety of things including INDICATION OF IMMIGRATION STATUS. They specifically say they are collecting “sensitive information” such as ETHNICITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER (they specifically mention trans and nonbinary individuals), and IMMIGRATION STATUS.
They note that not only will this information be used for marketing and analytics (meaning they will sell it to other companies), it will also be used for legal activities, most likely meaning that, as many of us feared, they will be sharing all of this readily with the government
Again, I have not read the entire document yet but I will be making a followup with screenshots once I have. However even what I have read thus far proves that TikTok is NOT SAFE to use in the US especially if you are part of a marginalized group. Please stay safe
I really love it when kink and fetish writing has like, deep discussions. I love dissecting exactly what makes something hot and what that says about society. Awesome
good game developer/company should have a framework to hire author of popular mods of their game as an official way to compensate for the mods, if the author so choose/need financial compensation. that way it creates an ecosystem that support mod developer long term without relying on player’s donation and also leverage the company’s resources (for marketing e.g. for the mod dev) while benefitting the company itself (attracting player base)
My Silksong fic The Restoration of Pharloom Chapter 8 is out on AO3 here https://archiveofourown.org/works/73928591/chapters/204747476

two things this time, but let's start with the story one first.
i've been preparing this ending for like a month before even getting to this point. it is an absolute joy to see to conclusion just one of the endings!!! im quite happy with how each chapter before has lent a stepping stone to Hornet's character growth in this one. but perhaps the writing could be a bit stronger to ensure that the idea come through (which, objectively speaking, i dont think it is :( ). But well, there's 2 more endings for me to improve!!
the other thing still is irl stuff. it's frustrating and discouraging. i do understand that writing right now helps me through like an emotional support outlet. but it's hard just having an idea in my head while the irl stuff destroy me .-. i dont know if this is relevant to writing at all, perhaps something along the line of work-life balance or compartmentalization, or make sure you take care of yourself. but well i guess it's just undeserved rant.
take care of your mental health y'all. go see professional help if you can.

i just want to write my fic not spending sleepless night on two ambulances ferrying the same dude to a mental hospital and bawled my eyes out receiving kindness from strangers while being totally vulnerable
posted a one shot 18+ fanfic for the Shogun TV Series (2024) starring Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, based on a novel by James Clavell.
you can read "When sea winds blow on the mountain" here https://archiveofourown.org/works/77531341
This work depicts that scene at the end of Episode 4 (season 1), from both Mariko and John's perspectives.
personal writer blog below
so......after i said ill probably write something smutty for a human media (as opposed to bugs in Silksong lol), i actually wrote this one as an experiment with my writing skills. my biggest hurdle right now seems to be the use of less than formal, polite language or euphemism. it may stem from personal biases, but i think the issue is ive kept writing "sex scenes to move the plot forward" instead of "sex is the point of the scene". the former requires some character growth or certain action or outcome is achieved so that the reader don't feel like they just read filler. but that means putting eloquent, flowery language that i prefer in the same sentence as "ass", "vagina", "breast". Not that the latter is crass or anything, im no puritan bs, but it creates a kind of whiplash that goes from exploring the emotional depth of losing one's husband to having it up the ass over one period. guess it's something i either need to solve, figuring out the balance between "what i want when i read lit erotica" and "what i want when i read fiction", or just separate them.
another gimmick i manage to experiment this time is putting the POV side by side in the same chapter. Mariko in one column, John in the other. How each of these characters approached the scene was in no way intended to be gendered, but rather based on (what i think is) how they approach life in-character. but firstly, i must admit that part of me does give Mariko more room to explore her emotion (there's also more here to explore compared to) whereas John gets the focus on sex. im quite pleased with how it turns out for Mariko, but still feel lackluster on the john's part. he gets the more frank language yet i realize it is my writing skill that prevents me from writing his part more, porny? appealing?
so erm, yeah more practice is needed. if you have feedback or preference, please let me know too :D
chapter 5 of my 18+ silksong fanfic "A bug without shell and her love without form" is out now on AO3, link here https://archiveofourown.org/works/74388771/chapters/202314171
personal writer's blog? (like devblog but for writer?) below as usual
So......
When I was writing chapter 4, I thought about how originally I wanted to write something explicit, raunchy, dare I say smut even. But honestly the different physiology (between bug and human body you know) which means to be faithful to the language of the world might mean to not use human terms to describe the act, and the fact that writing about something so private and intimate of these characters (albeit fictional) whom not just me but a lot of people holds in dear regards, means I cannot really try to write anything explicit. I found myself coating the description with flowery language, a lot of implying and hinting rather than using direct words. And I'm not sure what kind of effect this style of writing on such a sensual subject will have.
But then again, for chapter 5, I guess I go all out? Assuming Hornet's POV is a lot easier than using Eva's POV to describe the feelings of both Eva and Hornet during such act. But also, I realized another issue with my "setting the plot" is I did want to be serious with this fic. In the "sex is not the main draw, but a device to move the story forward" way, like how a musical should use music in the same way and not as filler. Which is (in my opinion), in direct conflict with what this genre is about. I assume sex is the main feature for this genre, whereas this fic dodges writing directly about sex, or at least using sex as a literary device. Realizing this kind of help me reframe how I can be more "explicit", or to be more precise, more steamy with the fic, but still able to not completely disregard the tone of the fic so far.
but then again, if i should ever try to write something explicit again, maybe deciding whether sex is the side plot or the main feature will help me write the story easier. for that, maybe a one shot or a media that has human instead of bug might help. maybe Shogun (2024) or Reacher the Amazon TV series lol (no commitment, just thinking out loud).
also, that one AO3 user who reads my fic that i wrote in like 2019 for that one game i no longer played, left comment praising how good it was while i still think i could have written better
coincided with me getting my first ever user subscription on AO3
whether or not these two souls are the same person, i just want to say that thank you so much. it does a lot for me struggling self-esteem issue right now lol
Chapter 7 of my silksong fanfic The Restoration of Pharloom is out now on AO3 here https://archiveofourown.org/works/73928591/chapters/202169221
also, i realized i didnt post this update when it should but Chapter 4 of my silksong 18+ fanfic "A bug without shell and her love without form" is out (last week) on AO3 here https://archiveofourown.org/works/74388771/chapters/201309111
hopefully will get chapter 5 of this fic out this week
personal blog below
honestly, I have a hard time trying to write to fruition the Hornet-Sentinel plotline. It feels like there is so much philosophy and musing that needs to be done in the story for these two, as they try to share an understanding, one for Hornet about her own issue, and the other for Sentinel for its own. But by writing through this chapter, it really does help me realize that sometimes writing story is different from real life. Whereas I have seen stories where the "moment" arrives, where characters have a talk that seemingly unblock all of their obstacles and they suddenly know the answer to life, real life itself is a lot more messy. Myself has gone through a lot of "talks" in real life with even people I love and care about, all seemingly have profound realization yet none deliver that be-all-end-all solution. For a long time, I cannot come up with that "talk" that will solve everything for these characters, and I thought that it was a failure of writing.
So in a way, this chapter is a revelation for me too. as hard as it is to suddenly have the talk that reveals all the answer to life, even in real life, such answer bears repeating, reminding, reassuring, so that we take it in, from comprehending the words, to embracing the emotion behind it, to eventually realizing a different reality that comes from believing that these answers are real.
it feels like a rambling, but to be honest, this is a sharing of something personal i went through. my loved one, brilliant as she is, came from a place that made her feel she is not loved for a long time. right from the get go, i have told her i love her. we have that talk once, where i explained everything like the end-of-a-Hallmark-movie conversation. but, it takes us 7 years now, 7 years worth of "i love you" conversation to assure her that i do, in fact, love her, that she is loved, and that whatever feelings or past that makes her feel she doesn't deserve love is in fact, no longer her current reality.
So, here's to Hornet and the Second Sentinel. I hope I am doing justice to you both.

Chapter 6 of my Silksong's fanfiction The Restoration of Pharloom is out now on Ao3, link here https://archiveofourown.org/works/73928591/chapters/200585741
thanks for reading and hope you'll enjoy this one!
personal update below
it took me only a few hours to write the chapter, which only speaks to the kind of trouble in my personal life that delays me from writing this chapter, or writing anything at all since the beginning of this month. i really feel like a fraud because right before this hiatus i just posted about offering writing commission, hoping to be more active not only in the fandom space but also as a writer. and then i went off disappearing without even posting an update.
like i know probably no one on this platform cares about me right now, i haven't earned that yet. but it feels like such a vote of confidence against myself that i cannot even follow through with what i hope i can do. feels like a gut punch. and that's not even touching on the irl trouble for which, well, i life badly. i life very badly.
but writing this chapter and posting it has really helped me regain a little bit of comfort. Silksong helps me through a rough part of my life, and to revisit this world is to be reminded that my own trouble can be dealt with. the world goes on. not that i means i will be left behind, but that it will still be there when i come back.
such an amazing come back to learn that Sea of Sorrow is announced for example!
anyway, hope you enjoy reading this chapter, and this personal update. hope things are good with you too, random reader in this corner on the internet!
welp, here i thought i was able to do once a week update. as soon as i put myself a goal i bombed out. sorry everyone for late update for both fics, will try to get back on track this week and sort out my life a bit
so…doing something new, if it breaks any sort of tumblr etiquette please educate me
ive always wanted to become a serious fiction writer and have been writing since elementary school. yet only recently that i started publishing online (hopefully somewhat decently) some fanfic. just so my writing gets to see the light of day and not died in the back of my harddrive.
id like to talk to people who read my fanfic. it is posted on AO3, but id also like to share my thought not unlike how ive been doing on reddit, and AO3 is not conducive to that, so here’s my attempt to use Tumblr to reach my audience.
I write 2 Silksong fanfics, each is updated once a week, one is a serious post-game epilogue where Hornet helps Pharloom rebuild
The Restoration of Pharloom: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73928591/chapters/192835316
the other is a 18+ fic about Eva experiencing the world through Hornet and Hornet’s romantic relationship with Shakrs
A bug without shell and her love without form: https://archiveofourown.org/works/74388771/chapters/194185091
if you like any of these or have any feedback, please dont hesitate to leave a comment here or in AO3! always looking to improve my craft!
in addition, i would like to try my hands at taking commission. i dont think i want to write for money just yet, as im still figuring out my own relationship with writing. more importantly, im hoping to make writing more social and challenging for me, and taking commission/challenge from a community seem a better way than just writing on my own. to start with, the first 5 DMs will get a free work from me, we can talk in details what you like to see, what i can write and how long you will get your work.
honestly i dont expect a lot of engagement, which gives me the courage to post anything online in the first place (lol). in a very shouting to the void kind of way. but if this catches your attention for even a second, i just want to say thank you for that second, and i hope you have a nice day on Tumblr

i kinda get social media now lol. like when i did things and want validation but my family/friends/social circle maybe need 10 years to catch up with me to give proper validation for it so now i just post it to the void instead and get fake internet point to heal my crumbling mental health lol
but really resurfacing this here to tell y'all on tumblr about the incredible simulation of academic to pop culture pipeline i found myself in. recently there's little indie game called Silksong came out and i played it, it's ok, i guess. then i go on its 3 subreddits, wrote up 2000+ words analyses on themes, lore, character studies, etc. for chump changes for upvotes and comments. mind you, i put work into this lol, reference primary source, cross-reference secondary source, consulted with industry expert like speedrunning discord. just short of properly formatting and using Chicago citation style. then i learned that if i do a silly meme summarizing and making fun of that conclusion, it got literal hundred to thousands upvotes and comments, and also drive more traffic to the original analyses.
the experience is incredible fun and healing in a way, but just, knowing this is what the pipeline looks like is both illuminating and sombering...surely there's a moral to this rant i guess...maybe someone smarter than me can point it out
Please support this game! I've been following it forever and the developers obviously put a lot of love into finally repping my people as Not Just Generic Bad Guys To Be Slaughtered in QuickTime Events, but the unabashed horse girls we truly are. I really love how outspoken she is about representing proper care and compassion for these animals in the industry too.
