faelight: love is a beacon, an anchor, and a reason to always return home

This essay is better viewed on my neocities but im crossposting it here for funsies~

they put something insane in these guys. i dont think i've seriously been into a genshin m/m pairing since game LAUNCH. I feel like i wake up every day and the faelight brainworms get worse because there's so many fun bits of their personalities that then feed into the appeal of their relationship and i end up circling back around to the same topics again and again... I really like the current state of their relationship, because a relationship right on the precipice of evolution is always the most enriching for me to think about. But their interactions are honestly so charming and silly that i probably would have liked them anyways... It's always so fun to get into a pairing where both characters are really compelling.

thinking about identity theft lesbians again

Jun. 30th, 2025 02:54 am
betweenseasons: (shu)
So I finished watching this kdrama I've been following for a few weeks now that about the story of these two twin sisters who swap lives for a bit because of them struggling in their personal lives (THE POST IS NOT ABOUT THEM BEFORE YOU LEAV), and I enjoyed it more than I expected to when I just picked it up on a whim when I was bored!! (Though to be honest, my standards for kdramas have fallen steadily over the past year or so because they're pretty fun to just watch brain-off). Anyways, this one had a subplot that I've been turning around in my head for a bit because I've also been thinking about the Shu/Shennong identity shenanigans recently when combing through the story for my brainworms exorcism post.

( this one isnt that long i prommy. but here's the scuffed subplot summary should you wish to read it )

( yayyy identity swap romance )

Anyways, loving the concept of using someone else's identity as a vehicle for love. Yes there are only 2 identity theft romances on my hands right now and maybe they have nothing to do with each other. But if you have any thoughts or recommendations on this genre let me know because I want more food and I thrive off of finding similar themes in stories and boxing them together neatly in my head.

arknights: shu, shennong, and the endless rice fields of love

The flowers bloom so beautifully after that parting, I wonder if you still know the way home.


Here A People Sows is THE Arknights event of all time to me. I think I could make like ten posts covering every aspect of it that I adored and still end up wanting to talk about it more. I need to talk about the trio, I need to talk about Ji, I need to talk about Dahuang as a setting, the list goes on and on and on. But since its Shu's birthday month, I'll talk about her relationship with a lovely lady called Shennong first (；′⌒`).

All excerpts from Arknights story reader: Here A People Sows | Shu Operator Record
Some relevant wiki references: Sui | Dahuang | Shennong

reverse: 1999; some musings on vernetto

May. 31st, 2025 08:34 pm
betweenseasons: (tear)

one thing about me is i love a good ass distance /romantic!!!!



I've been meaning to collect my thoughts on these two somewhere, because they kind of rotted my brain a little when i was getting through the early chapters of r1999's main story. To be clear, i've only read chapters 1-4 so far (and none of the side stories yet), so i'll only talk about my interpretations of them w/in this context. If i'm completely off base that's the burden i shall have to bear for not being normal about anything ever.

(all dialogue transcripts are taken from my savior, this archive, because the story text logs are seemingly not on the wiki)
