Without fail, every time my career is actually going well and looking bright, literally everything else is on fire. I’m just worn out, feeling very defeated. Not very demure.
Woof. Things are…really difficult. In every aspect but especially my family. I am so utterly exhausted from balancing work, family drama, world news, and my own general wellbeing, it’s starting to seriously affect me. If just one of my manifestations could come true in the next week or so…
Many have asked about AI and translation following the acquisition announcement. Seven Seas remains committed to human translators and the high editorial standards our readers & creators expect. Nothing about the acquisition changes how we translate our books. More info shortly.
I understand how easy it is to catastrophize and assume the worst but y’all. Stop. All the claims of malicious intent or insidious motives are just not true and things are blowing up and literally the day just got started like 4 hours ago
Bro it’s not even been 24 hours like please be patient 😭
I may need to make him an IG account because I am having way too much fun. And yes he’s a very good ice pack 😂😂
Gift exchange with #danmei discord group! I received a Binghe towel doll (old southern decor iykyk) and yes, he has bewbs and nips because @izoraliddel.bsky.social is incredibly talented and hilarious. Bad and naughty Binghe’s go in the freezer to pay for causing Shizun headaches 🤣

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?
Honestly revisiting these memories cured something in me and I am so glad I had the opportunity to write this piece!!!! 💖💖💖 Y’all best not be sleeping on TWOA!!!!
I just want to shield my employees and co-workers from this shit. People are getting out of control and it is affecting peoples mental health, esteem, and overall life. Enough is enough. Have some empathy ffs.
And so help me god if any of this is taken out of context or if you try to use it against me or to make me lose my job, I will not stand for it. And trust me, people have tried before. But I know what I’m talking about. I may have imposter syndrome but I’m good at my job.
You want to complain and insult? Fine, my DMs and comments are open. I wrote yaoi fanfiction in the early 2000s, you cannot hurt me in a way that matters. But the blatant cruelty and vitriol I see happening in more and more comments has got to stop. My employees and coworkers do not deserve it.
We can legitimately change the temperament that is currently in all fandoms. But it means taking a step back and realizing that just because you’re passionate about something, that doesn’t mean you can tear others down when you don’t like something.
And as much as I would love to abolish capitalism (you should hear me on Threads) anime and manga is still a BUSINESS. Decisions are made based on so may factors and variables that the public wouldn’t understand nor needs to know. I’m asking for a little grace. Stop assuming everything is malicious
Real people are behind every post, book, project, EVERYTHING. We work hard to do our jobs and keep the community happy. But we are humans—no AI, I refuse—and mistakes do happen. At the end of the day though, we also have responsibilities tied to our jobs. Our livelihoods. We have rules and contracts
Listen, I have to say something but I want to be completely transparent that this is MY opinion and experience. NOT my company’s. But today I’ve spent most of the day comforting my team and my co-workers because the nastiness online is out of control. So I just want people to remember a few things:
TWOA Presents: For the Lovers. A collection of love themed essays about animanga. Today’s featured essay is from the incredible Lauren Hill! She penned a love letter to the parts of anime fandom that helped her understand her queer identity! @kitsunari.bsky.social

Sorry I’ve been quiet here. But I’ve been loud af on threads and IG. Sharing this poem because people need to WAKE UP!!! If you can’t protest today, please don’t shop or only shop small, cancel Amazon, Netflix, Spotify—all of them!!!! We MUST resist and We MUST ACT NOW

Hello @samreich.bsky.social I would like to pitch the idea of a BL/Yaoi ep of Um, Actually. I have a list of who would be perfect, also me tho. My qualifications are: I work in manga, I helped run FujoCon: A virtual BL con, I read FAKE and Gravitation in 2005, I still have a yaoi paddle.
