My translation effort for volume 1 of No.6 Reunion is well underway, with the first two chapters in beta and chapter 3 in translation right now! I have created a carrd with information about the translation release schedule and where to buy the novel to support Asano. You can find the carrd here, or copy/paste no6reunion.carrd.co into your browser. Feel free to share it wherever you'd like! If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
for anyone unaware, BDS is calling for a boycott of Microsoft Game Pass, Minecraft, and New Xbox Consoles
If you need further clarification on what to do if you already own one of Microsoft's games (like I did), here's an excerpt from this article (emphasis mine):
"For those who already own the games or the console, the organizers said, the ideal move would be to stop playing, but the primary ask from organizers is to help deprive Microsoft of revenue. Therefore, players can be compliant with the boycott by avoiding future purchases of games or consoles and by avoiding transactions inside the games."
Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.
It's gonna come as a surprise to most of you, but if you don't want to do that for whatever reason you're allowed to not reblog this post. I'm not holding a gun to your head here I'm just trying to spread the word for people who do want a backup of their stuff.
Also, made this guide for backup Tumblr blogs (ft. export blog method, and python 3 script method):

What the media won't show
It’s actually pretty nuts how there is no real mass media coverage of the protests that are happening all over the US. It demonstrates fairly conclusively that the unlawful activities at the White House aren’t just limited to Trump. There’s a lot of wealthy people in powerful positions in the US and around the world helping to support the dismantling of the US federal government.

it's so sad to see how wen remnants and their tragedy just became a prop for making other characters better in the fandom. for angst and drama between "yunmeng bros". for making nie mingjue seem more morally righteous than he actually is (fuck that guy honestly). or ppl just forget about the nature of their deaths and how each clan and some of their favourites were actually complicit in their murders. it's so funny even how many ppl just sweep the first siege under the rug and pretend as though wen remnants weren't brutally murdered. i just feel so saddened by this. why do they need to lessen the tragedy of their deaths? just to continue to believe that their favourite characters did nothing wrong?

Despite how terrible this fandom treats the themes of the novel, there are times where I’m glad that this is a resurrection story and not a rebirth novel. There is no “fix-it” where a character gets to go back and right all the wrongs while all the villains learn no lessons because they never reach the endpoint of their schemes. In canon, every wrongdoer is haunted by their own evil. Wei Wuxian, Wen Ning, and the Wen remnants all crawl out of their graves where the cultivation world threw them, and it warms my heart how, no matter how much they wish it, fandom has to contend with the fact that the novel is named and follows after the resurrected victim of their crimes. The Wen remnants finally get to reincarnate in peace while the rest of the cultivation must live out the rest of their lives staring in the face of their immorality.
I don't know what people call it in English, but I read some JC stans calling them " daños colaterales", casualties, I think? My heart just broke. For a lot of stans, and sadly even some wwx, lwj or Wangxian stans, they were something to hide or forget. People even forget there is no Lan Shizui without Wen Yuan. And there is no Wen Yuan without the first person who protects him and probably keeps him alive in the Jin camp, Wen Popo.
It’s a 1:1 translation to English: collateral damage. And yeah, that’s what people treat them as, particularly the “if only wwx had done xyz” crowd. They act as if the Wen remnants were only incidentally hated because of wwx, and wwx just incidentally became involved with them cause he was strolling by their undisturbed village and randomly got the urge to be their protector, so if they just separate the two or “make wwx good,” then the Wen remnants would just be living peaceful lives in their ancestral home.
