Can't believe China made the "vivasayam panraa bundamane" meme real (from the latest @FaultsActive)

Had so much fun! Subscribe to @idolcast 🙌🏻
And we're live! @FaultsActive and the BL Canon! We discuss #BL dramas, Xiao Zhan and Zhang Zehan's PR fiascos, #EstherYi's incredible "Y/N" and whether #Taemin is the inspiration behind Moon, the most compelling idol in the world, and so much more! theidolcast.com/podcasteps/e…

Why would I not block someone who calls me a stalker out of nowhere and refuses to follow up on that when I pointed it out? You’re earning another block on this account too, I’m sorry

Just recorded a fun episode with @FaultsActive on BL, fanfic, Esther Yi's excellent novel Y/N, what goes on in idol fandom in China, being a global K-Pop fan, and much much more!

.@FaultsActive and @emwritingnow on the "teeth-grinding and ambivalent dynamic between Chinese K-Pop fans, other non-Chinese fans and Korean celebrities," and the one weird metric that functions like the GDP of idol fandom: activefaults.substack.com/p/…

Two weeks of #wip in one update - this is a good one: career fans, dreamgirls, shippers vs. solo stans and private life enthusiasts. Enjoy! activefaults.substack.com/p/…

Completly agree that fan studies are sidelined as an academic discipline - particularly because of the whole "fangirl" media associations with - screamers since the 1950s. So, it's time to overcome the "misrepresentation of #fanquan as a space of neurosis and irrationality".
Replying to @ChaoyangTrap
@ChaoyangTrap - my main provider of Sinospheric news, analysis & fandom survole has closed. Yet here's Em's Women’s History Month #fanquan analysis with a specific look at female celebrity fans in #China. Highly #recommended! activefaults.substack.com/p/…
