Hi, everypony. this is the part of the website for my own odds and ends.
I find it hard to talk about myself tbh and it's easier to make up a website for a fictional sports team. I wil let you in on some stuff that interest me and also my current list of books I'm reading.
I think of myself as a writer and a reader, I did always liked to read but now I'm reading to improve my craft as well.
My interest at the moment is literature in translation.
Being a weeb was a simultaneous interest I cultivated as a child along with reading, my interest in Japan has led to a curiousity about the media of other countires.
Films are a monumental undertaking for even just one production with many moving parts
which also entails a lot of funding but books comparatively are cheaper to write and publish so there is a much bigger world to explore.
I got my hands on a lot of Argetinian Literature and have committed this year to reading as much of them as I can
Currently reading list
I have to shout out Ono no Komachi, one of the famed 36 immortals, who is an interesting historical figure to me
because half of her perception seemed to be from noh plays that had her as a vain woman who became bitter, ugly, and old.
She achieves Buddhahood but her specific failings read to me as common misogynisitc caricature of women
and her atonement was making peace with the guy she jilted.
I'm still learning more about her but she carries tgirl swagger the way her poems reveal a more sensitive thoughtful side of her but one poem led to this wild characterization about her
much like trans women posting on social media. That is a little out of left field and I apologize haha.
