WELP.

it looks like they’re trying to drive us out again

non-chronological dash will be pretty much a last straw for me, so if i’m gone and for some reason you want to locate me: i’m XCZIEL most everywhere (twiX (hah!), discord, mastodon, pillowfort, ao3, dreamwidth, etc, hell my old lj is still up)

and i probably still will be xcziel in whatever new places catch on - hit me up here if you want my email just in case

love y'all 🖤


There are currently SO MANY fandoms going on in this space:

  • OKAY definitely a BTS (as of like May 2023, so … yeah) and kpop hyperfixation currently ongoing, not sure when normal service will resume
  • ALSO i have decided to just go ahead and let myself post about random new books that are hitting the shelves in US stores - not reviewing or recommending, just passing on a heads-up because … idk. For me it’s equivalent to: “oh look cool rock!” or “guess what happened on My Show!” but it’s “here’s what just showed up on the shelves! ” *jazz hands*
  • ok the kpop Thing officially “Begin"s with OnlyOneOf (watch their mv and dance practices you will not regret it)
  • all things Kinnporsche and associated cast
  • Official Liu Chang Addicts Club Member (2020)
  • full on Liu Sang/DMBJ/Daomu Biji fandom freefall: holy heck are there some talented writers artists & creators in this fandom!!
  • an increased amount of CDrama, KDrama, BLDrama reblogs
  • the related asian actor fandoms and cultural interest
  • preferential reblogging of Lee Soo Hyuk, Woo Do Hwan, and Liu Yuning - uh, *all* DMBJ actors actually
  • The Untamed (MDZS, but mostly CQL)
  • Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (Moshang!) and TGCF reblogs
  • 80s music nostalgia always happening
  • Black Sails (perpetual)
  • Murderbot
  • Star Wars, mostly Rogue One (Cassian! and Din , and Boba … I just idk how much of that will end up here)
  • Stargate and SGA (perpetual)
  • X-Men (mainly XMCU and cherik)
  • Killjoys (for as long as folks are making gifsets - ❤ u guys)
  • Marvel and MCU (still very conflicted, it’s a one step forward two steps back situation)
  • plus a bunch more i’ve been in that come back around

Anyways, this blog is a mishmash of those, current events posts, cat and landscape pics, tumblr standard posts, fic recs, and memes.

I subscribe to the "if you like it, reblog it” philosophy of sharing creators’ posts, because they put the effort in and deserve some appreciation.

Welcome!

Blanket creative works policy: if you ever see a headcanon, not!fic, tag ramble, or silly manip of mine that inspires you to write or art in any way: go for it!

just drop me a tag if you post it bc i’d love to see!

Gentle reminder to anyone able to make it to any protests coming up please practice proper protest etiquette both for your own safety and that of others.

Wear a mask, cover any tattoos, and don’t wear clothing with recognizable logos or branding. Don’t take pictures of yourself or others. Don’t talk to cops.

Protests aren’t a fun event to post about on social media, we are trying to make an real change. Be safe and responsible

being fat is hard because you don’t just run into inaccessibility that affects only you. for example, if i’m bigger than a car seat is built for, then i inconvenience those sitting next to me. if i’m bigger than a room is built for, i encroach on others space. it makes the fat person feel like it’s a personal fault, and skinny people are often not kind to fat folks who take up space. i want to make this clear: it is Not the fat persons fault AND i understand the strain and shame it can cause fat people. this world is built to exclude fat people. fitting of my favorite phrase inspired by the social model of disability; it’s not the fat persons fault, it’s the worlds fault.

I couldn’t resist sharing these tiny things; I just got them back from the printers. ‘Memento Mori’ is Latin for 'Remember that you [have to] die’. At face value, it’s morbid, but the phrase is about time, the precious and finite nature of our lives — a reminder to live life to the fullest.

The heraldic roses symbolise love, and the skull and raven represent death. The aim was to develop something celebratory, sumptuously Gothic, sensual, and rich.
