Anastasya: Frostcrown Revival
Tsaritsa of All Snezhnaya
#GenshinImpact #Anastasya
About the Tsaritsa's past...
Anastasya is a spirit born of frost.
Her days spent in Monomakh's service at the court of the Pale Star were as gentle and beautiful as the auroras of Snezhnaya. Yet like the aurora itself, they too would eventually fade one morning, slipping forever beyond her reach.
After being resurrected by the Heavenly Principles, Anastasya wandered through the wind and snow for centuries, searching for the past she had lost and seeking to unravel the mysteries of this cruel world.
She came to understand with painful clarity that even her own emotions and feelings were nothing more than tools that could be manipulated at will.
And so, once she could confirm that the person she used to be had at least truly understood and felt love deeply, she stopped searching.
For that was enough.
About the Tsaritsa's present...
She trusts neither her memories nor her own feelings. Yet that doubt would strip a ruler of the decisiveness she must possess.
She has every reason to resent for what she had suffered, should every reason to settle the debts of past grudges. Yet that rage would strip a ruler of the reason they must possess.
And so, she casts aside her past and chooses to live only in the present.
Anastasya never takes her eyes off the sword hanging over them all. Someone has to do it. Someone must do it.
For the sake of Snezhnaya and the entire world, she must always make the best decisions in the name of the Pale Star.
Her decisions are sometimes cold, sometimes harsh.
Yet those among her people who still choose to draw close to her can always see through to the gentle warmth beneath.
About the Tsaritsa's future...
Checkmate is not where the game ends.
She knows that against the Heavenly Principles, even our "King" is just another ordinary piece on the board.
Should the day come when a "sacrifice" becomes a necessary move...
"I have taken my place on the board. Triumph or ruin, I shall see it through."

No, this isn't it. I have been an artist in fandom spaces for 15 years or so.
Here is how it really is:
The AO3 situation is bringing to the surface a problem we’ve been sweeping under the rug for years: the double standards applied to fanfiction and fanart.
An artist can draw whatever they want and post it on social media, benefiting from algorithmic favoritism because their content is quick and easy to consume (because people scroll through social media in a matter of seconds. If something takes even one extra minute of their time, they won’t bother)
They can make money, to the point of building an actual career out of commissions (is that legal? Who knows… probably best not to look into it), and receive hundreds of comments or reposts because they deserve it and have worked hard to reach that level (absolutely true, and I agree. But so has anyone else who creates something. I didn’t learn how to sew cosplay costumes or write overnight. It took me just as much time and effort.)
A fanfiction writer doesn’t get that.
Social media platforms penalize:
- External links to websites like AO3.
- Walls of text (so no chapters published as posts)
- Certain words or phrases.
- Posts that don’t get immediately shared or commented on within the first few minutes after publication.
(I could go on, but you get the point.)
So, if we try to promote our work, we’re forced to commission artwork from artists (for a fee, see above) just to grab people’s attention with content that’s quick and easy to consume.
If we dare to ask for comments or any kind of feedback (completely free and anonymous), we get insulted because “well, I don’t want to be OBLIGED to say what I think, or to give a like/kudos/heart/smoke signal or crop circle to that idiot who spent sleepless nights in front of a computer.”
And if we ever dared to ask for even a single euro for our work (which nobody does, because we already know how that would end), just imagine the diplomatic incident that would cause.
So why bother? And don’t come at me with the joy of creating. I’ve been writing novels on my computer for 25 years, and I’m perfectly happy leaving them right where they are rather than sharing them for free with ungrateful people.
This whole situation is bringing one thing into focus: when all is said and done, AI isn’t really the problem.
