hiii im kieran (18, she/him) i do the yume thing... this site will serve as a mini shrine/archive of all my yume related stuff (art/rambles/collection updates) and maybe more about me if i feel like it!? anyway if its not obvious enough, hong lu is my f/o!

On a very special 27th of april in the year 2023, I met Hong Lu. It’s been a while since then, and I think it's safe to say she hasn’t left my mindscape since. I can’t say it was exactly love at first sight, it was quite the slow burn! and Lord did it burn! I kinda feel guilty for not being able to give an exact date for when I did fall, but once I was #LockedIn to this Hong Lu lifestyle, I knew it wasn’t just going to be a one time small interest.

I don’t really want to delve into How I fell, or how/when I knew I did, because to tell the truth I still have a lot to figure out. Do I like her like Thatttt? Or do I like her like Thisss? Iykwim. While I don’t know what the nature of my feelings are, one thing I’m sure of is that we’re soulmates… in a way. I mean that, I think all things happen for a reason… It might be silly but Hong Lu really has provided me with so many reasons to keep going, and much like how she motivates me to grow, I also want to see her character grow and for her to be free of errrrr. The bells tolling. as the main story progresses!

Speaking of, while my interest in limbus has been on and off, what really solidified my current bout of interest for the game was the announcement of canto viii, the surrendered witnessing; something i’ve been looking forward to for around two years now! In those two years, I found myself slowly reading up on Hong Lu’s literary source (which I still haven’t finished…) and I ended up SO very immersed in the atmosphere of 1700s China, as silly as that might be. Dream of the Red Chamber (or the story of the stone, which is the name of the version I read) is unironically a huge comfort for me, as strange as it sounds I look forward to waking up every day so I can get my daily dose of the book! I’ve kind of been taking my time with it Because of how much I like it, so I can savor it! if that makes sense.

Back to Hong Lu, I also found myself resonating with her, everything from what we know of her, to her source Jia Baoyu, and even to the speculation and theories I see about her. Maybe that’s weird. But like I mentioned before, much like she’s accompanied me through my own hardships. I want to see her overcome her struggles so similar to my own.

To end, I’d like to say that… Love is a strong word, and while I don’t know exactly what kind of love it is, I’m sure that I do love you, Hong Lu!
