CW: New introduction!
I'm Ikol, and this is my fandom account 💚
I love queer stories, science fiction, fantasy, magic & tech, leftist politics, Chinese history, and stories where food & tea hold an important place! :blobDrink:
My fandoms change regularly, but currently I'm mostly into #anime & #donghua - especially #JujutsuKaisen #DungeonMeshi #LinkClick #TokyoRevengers #Sk8TheInfinity 🔥
Some background fandoms of mine are:
- #IronWidow / #XiranJayZhao 's books
- #StarTrek (especially TOS)
- #Arcane
- #Marvel (both the #MCU and #comics), especially #Venom the #WinterSoldier #Loki and #Hawkeye :venom:
- #MDZS / #TheUntamed
- #StrangerThingsI also sometimes talk about music, especially about the Finnish singer #Käärijä and #HeavyMetal
I'm the co-admin of the fandom.garden mastodon instance, and creator of some custom emojis :arc_reactor:
I am but a small fan trying to find a cosy place to talk about what I love :raccoonPeek:Let's chat about our favorite things! :sparklesRainbow:

And Li Po makes an appearance, complete with poetry quoting. Except he's Li Bai, so I didn't realize who he was until I'd looked it up. Apparently the guy has a ton of names. Li Po is how it was published in English.
Slipping classical poetry into a kid's book? Smooth #XiranJayZhao ...
And not so much that you just skip reading it all (looking at you Tolkien). It's actually plot! -

Zachary Ying & the Dragon Emperor (how TF do I hashtag that?) had me looking up the history of the First Emperor of #China. Supposedly his burial tomb had flowing rivers of mercury. Modern archeology soil testing shows much higher than expected background mercury levels in the area. Like it's evaporating through the soil.

I partly read this series because of the moniker "Chinese Percy Jackson" for #XiranJayZhao 's #ZacharyYing and the #Dragon #Emperor. A bit of a slow start that's mostly uncomfortable because you're reading about racism & microaggressions. But then it gets interesting fast and you won't put it down until you're done.
I finished it, then read it again. Several times.
The use of #Chinese mythos and history is fascinating. It's a shame they were excluded from the Hugos. #books #bookstodon

CW: Asking for book recs - queer Chinese novels
I just finished Iron Widow & Zachary Ying by Xiran Jay Zhao, The Empress of Salt And Fortune by Nghi Vo, and also the Mo Dao Zu Shi manhua (adapted from the Mo Xiang Tong Xiu novel).
What those have in common is that they are all queer and all inspired by Imperial China to various degrees... and I'd love to read more!
Does anybody have any recs of more queer books set in China or even better in some settings inspired by Imperial China (this includes xianxia for instance).
I have to say that I'm not really looking for more danmei to read, I would prefer very queer stories by queer authors such as the Xiran Jay Zhao books, but I know that's a lot to ask for :blobOh:

CW: Current events
#XiranJayZhao did a wonderful video on translating country names from Chinese into English very literally (they are phonetic encodings but you can read out the meaning of the symbols)
Guess which country is "Darkness Overcoming Orchid" (乌克兰)?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kWdAsbWr9aE
Tells us it's... 🇺🇦
It's funny that I'm also (very) slowly studying Japanese and some of the meanings I go get, the sounds are of course different.
Greeting from "Comparing Profit Time" (比利时) 🤣🤣🤣
