Just wanted to share a cute contortion vid I stumbled on that I thought you might like:
Dear Yuni, just a thought about the development of your world. It seems to me that you are limiting yourself too much by turning the whole world into a movie studio of the future and all the characters into actors. Especially since in the future, cinema in its traditional form may one day cease to exist at all. The world is moving towards more interactive entertainment than cinema.
It seems to me that your previous idea with virtual worlds left complete freedom to your imagination and at the same time allowed you to keep the world of the "medieval" fantasy world of Yunia with its kingdoms, cities, races, religion, fantastic animals, etc. whole and "real". You have offered too much effort and years to this world to turn it into just a movie franchise. This does not mean that Sarah cannot be a movie star of the future, but at the same time, Nathaniel and his relationship with his strong barbarian lover will be more sincere and soulful if this is the alter ego of two lovers in a virtual fantasy world. A "real" elf and a barbarian in this virtual world. And not just narcissistic, highly paid actors, whose actions, relationships (even movements during sex) are dictated by the director and the script.
Dear Sasha, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts - I truly appreciate your insight and the care you've put into considering my worldbuilding. You raise an excellent point about the limitations of framing everything as "movies" in a future where traditional cinema might feel outdated. I love how passionately you advocate for the sincerity of virtual worlds, and I agree that there's something magical about characters exploring those spaces as real to them, rather than as scripted performances.
That said, my goal with the "actor" angle was less about reducing the fantasy worlds to mere films and more about finding a playful way to interconnect my characters' many incarnations - whether as models, adventurers, or mythical figures. But your comment has made me realize that this approach might unintentionally undermine the depth of those fantasy realms.
I'm leaning toward a hybrid approach: perhaps some characters do immerse themselves in virtual worlds as "real" alter egos, while others might still dabble in performances or holodeck-like experiences. This way, the medieval kingdoms and other settings can remain vibrant and unscripted for those who inhabit them, while still allowing for meta-commentary on fame and identity where it fits.
Your feedback has given me a lot to think about, and I'll likely refine the descriptions to better reflect this balance. At the end of the day, I want the fantasy settings to feel alive and meaningful - not just backdrops for a Hollywood metaphor. Thank you for helping me see that more clearly!
Warmly, Yuni
I like the new text on the gallery header! The earlier one always read a little weird to me but this new phasing is simple and to the point, it's much clearer!
Very glad you liked it! 🥰 I needed a description of my site for Linktr.ee but they have the limitation of 160 characters, and since I'm not very good at compression algorithms, I simply asked Deepseek to make a shorter version but instead it suddenly spawned a better version too 🤣
Seriously though AIs are like the skyscrapers of glass and steel which are not only "cool looking" but super cheap. We're slowly forgetting about the coziness of wooden cabins - soon only some wealthy hipsters would be able to afford the luxury of a human-made hut, while everybody else will be turned into AI-driven hiveminds and pushed into skyscraper anthills built by giant robots 😅
Nice pictures ! And being a Chinese, I'm glad that you have designed so many Chinese characters. 谢谢你的作品。
Don't know if it was my previous post about Javascript error or just some glitch, but now I see comment boxes again.
I'm glad it's fixed! I wish bullies would stay away from my site, then I could stop messing with the site's code 😂
Usually I visit your site via old Firefox (newer versions don't support addons I use), and usually it works well, but after last update all thumbnails look blurry and all comment boxes disappear. I don't know much about Javascript, but browser console says "SyntaxError: missing ( before catch script.js:9:9", and in other languages brackets after catch can't be omited. Not sure if it is the reason. Edge sometimes works, but sometimes shows a message about enabling Javascript and cookies. It may have something with censorship circumvention utils I use, but since Firefox works, I cannot be sure.
Thank you for reporting, hope it's fixed now 😅
But where is Nate on the character page? He's one of Yunia greatest heroes. A true legend! I thought he would be ranked much higher than newcomers like Malik and Stephan. Sasha M
It's under construction 😅
Great to see it back! But PLEASE tell me, how do I get a special blue signature 😫
Just write a username after the text but it make take a day or two to make it blue for the first time 😅
Same person as before (Vector, the Yunia Unfolded person), but I just thought of something else. I noticed some people have links in their signatures, how do you do that?
It's automatic but sometimes it may take a day or two to become a link.
Thanks for the explanation! And I'm glad you verified me so I can continue looking at your work! I really appreciate your worldbuilding content and like working with it.
Thank you so much for your hard work! I was also working on a brand new map with new locations recently but it's still a work of progress 😅
This harassment is ridiculous. We all appreciate the hassle you go through maintaining this site... I'd comment more with a signature, but I'm unsure how
Thank you so much for the encouragement!! 🥰 I've never meant to hide my content or cause any trouble, but every once in a while someone forces me to think of more protection.
I've disabled the new system for now but it's good to finally have an alternative to shutting down the entire site for everyone.
How can I get verified? I always log in to a different session, but I log in every two or three days to see your new posts and I was really scared to see the absence of the other content that always seems more than amazing to me and I really like it :c
I've disabled this access control system for now, hopefully will not need to enable it often... After all, most people are here just to look at the pictures, I doubt that a lot of people have hostile intentions 😂
Oh! THAT is what is going on. Derp. Well I've commented in the past, but I'm always kind of anxious so I lurk a lot. I'll make sure to comment and leave my signature.
Thank you so much for your comments! 🥰 It's just difficult to deal with reality when spending 5-10 hours a day trying to make something interesting, and then feeling like being punished for doing something wrong 😥
Hi Yuni! Totally get the change to privacy with the more explicit content. I've been a quiet admirer who's only chirped up when you've been feeling down and having doubts. My quietness doesn't mean I haven't loved your work for years now including your recent stuff, AI or no. Please keep it up! Artistic expression close to your heart should never be dissuaded by naysayers. Big love, - Secret admirer
Thank you so much, I'm very glad that you enjoy my works! 😊
Hello, real quick, sorry for posting this both here and on your newest image but what happened to all the more explicit art? I noticed there aren't options beyond "mature content" anymore, and I wanted to look at the description "The Path of Maulrath" to reference something for my project.
By the way, don't get worried about people getting mad at you for posting explicit content. It's their choice to visit this website and turn on kinky stuff, so it's their fault if they see it as a problem.
Please keep up the good work, and I enjoy your worldbuilding!

After certain unpleasant encounters, I've decided to make some features available only to participating visitors to thank them for their feedback.
Thank you for the explanation, dear Yuni! Now I see that you are just reworking the site. If tags take too much of your time and energy, of course we will do without them. Of course, like everyone else, I had my favorite tags on your site, but I will not make requests to add them so that you can spend your time more creatively.
As for people, I am sure they have always been the same. It is just that in the times of globalization and the Internet it has become more noticeable. Try to focus on the people you are interested in and whose opinion is important to you. Personally, I have not found any other solution.
If you haven't found your favorite tags after the rework, I'll try to bring back more, maybe I missed some other essential ones 😅
I understand you had some good reasons for this, but I'm still very sad that not only the characters, but all other tags have been completely removed from the site. Sasha M
I'm reworking it - it's just too exhausting to juggle so many tags, so I'm trying to get rid of unimportant ones.
Thank you!!!! :-)
Just small thing. It seems when clicking on comment link it will redirect me to "my comments" instead all comments like before I liked how it was. Shifty
Thanks! I tried to make it the way it was before :)
hope you are doing ok, not chatted for a month and i got some art i wanted to show you. TKnight93
