gentle reminder that if you want a plot-heavy codependent m/m mafia romance about a guy who seduces a mafia heir for revenge, love and loathing in el olvido exists 😏 it’s got film noir vibes, political intrigue and 2 Asian MCs!

We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/

essa prática já é bem antiga. a nobuko yoshiya, escritora lésbica pioneira dos contos lésbicos "yuri" no japão, adotou sua namorada, chiyo monma, para terem direito sobre uma a outra por lei e também por herança. a casa que yoshiya construiu para elas viveram é hoje um museu.

Aqui no japão o casamento de pessoas do mesmo sexo nem é um assunto discutido porem quando gays querem se casar eles se adotam e no papel fica como pai e filho

Thinking about this again I feel like nowadays so many people (understandably) prefer the latter, to the point that they think the former is boring or badly written. Or it results in readers thinking diaspora writers aren’t “authentic” enough. But the latter style is heavily

I feel like there are two types of Asian-inspired fantasy in English: a) books steeped in European fantasy storytelling tradition but with an Asian setting and b) books steeped in Asian literary storytelling tradition but written for an English-speaking audience

Maybe even two contexts, if they are drawing inspiration from English and their native literary traditions Anyway, this is a long-winded way of saying that I’m sick of readers acting like the former has no value, simply because it’s not “exotic” enough.

And you will NEVER understand the original essence of a work through MTL. So often, the ideas of what Asian literature is like is distorted because it’s consumed mainly through MTL! Not even a human TL!

I like both but I find it interesting how the former was really popular initially. That includes the boom that paved the way for most popular Asian fantasy in English (ex: The Poppy War) But nowadays the latter is becoming more popular too, mostly due to webnovels & wuxia

And as Chinese webnovels become more popular among English readers, it’s slowly changing English readers expectations of what, say, Chinese fantasy in English should look like, even if they’re written by diaspora authors I wonder how Asian fantasy in English will keep evolving
