Digital illustration of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from Tian Guan Ci Fu kissing. Xie Lian is on the left side, holding Hua Cheng's waist gently. Hua Cheng is leaning down, clutching at Xie Lian's robe to pull him forward. The background is a pale pink, with a lighter circle behind Hualian. The red string is twisting through the air behind them. Close up crop of a digital illustration of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from Tian Guan Ci Fu kissing.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

that’s okay i meant to cry anyway
But this is to misunderstand the purpose of fan fiction. Fan fiction starts with the itch of dissatisfaction, it is the art of emotional correction. When what is canon fails to deliver, the fan fiction writers step in, armed with Word documents and righteous indignation. You think this character deserved more hand-holding? Fine. Someone out there is writing 10,000 words of forehead kisses and mutual healing right now. Because fan fiction isn't just rewriting, it's repairing. It's giving yourself the closure you need when the author won't. It's deciding that pain can end differently, that love can be louder, that characters who were doomed in print get to live this time. It's literature written by people who refused to move on and sometimes these people spell really badly (and that is completely OK). And yes, it's rebellion. Against gatekeeping, against prestige, against the assumption that stories only count when they make money. Fan fiction exists because readers loved something so much they refused to let it die.

A year in #Hualian ❤️❤️
I started the year with the goal to "get better at kissing" and I think I succeeded 😝
#tgcf #tgcffanart #artistsummary2025
Collection of 13 illustrations done over the course of the year, all of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from Tian Guan Ci Fu. They are mostly hugging and kissing in each. There are 2 rows of 6 images, and a 3rd larger to the right side. Above them is text that says "2025 art summary", as well as some small white sparkles.

So grateful to whatever gods pointed me in the direction of @thedivinecharis.bsky.social’s “Red” last November for my first foray into podficcing. It’s a glorious fic with a truly lovely person and artist authoring it; it has been an honor and a pleasure, Charis! Here’s to more collabs in 2026!!
