I love worldbuilding, material culture, history, wuxia, intersectional criticism, fictional moms, and tea. I'm currently studying Classical Chinese and I post the occasional translation. Sometimes I write SFF criticism and fanfic too.

this looks fun:
Post originally by lazy8blog on tumblr. Give me a fanfiction trope and I’ll grade it: - A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it. - B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood. - C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead. - D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something. - F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.
