doing a thing!! ahem.
Good yuri morning himejin, and welcome to the first inaugural Reiwa Yuri Tournament! Over the course of this month, popular yuri works of the last five years will be pitted against each other, with only one REIWA YURI CHAMPION left standing in the end.
just read a short GL manhwa that's just about a crabby gremlin womanlet getting seduced by her 11/10 stacked blonde amazon goddess of a neighbor with barely any plot or character development, nothing but respect i hope the mc was the author's self-insert
oh i just realized if it wasn't controversial enough already the gushing over magical girls anime is going to fuck up searchability for revolutionary girl utena lmao (the mc's name is hiiragi utena)
literally lets her hit because she's goofy. overhears her drunkenly screaming encouragement at herself alone in her apartment and is like ohhh i can't not fuck her
people point to stuff like bloom into you as being soft fluff high school stuff and its like idk have you read bloom into you? its a psychological drama and character study connected to the complexities of a gay relationship. it resembles run away with me girl like this
still thinking about suletta fantasizing their wedding and dresses and ring shopping and probably cake tasting literally EVERYTHING when just a few months prior she didnt even know girls could be together. thats whats getting me. she spent time thinking ab it and looks like THIS
In alchemy, there is something known as the alchemical marriage between the Red King (Sulfur) and the White Queen (Mercury). By dissolving and coagulating they unify into something greater. This union of opposites culminates in the Philosopher's Stone; the alchemical magnum opus
im putting my foot down "toxic yuri" is being used too loosely. it shouldn't just be yuri that has some drama but is ultimately positive it's gotta be DESTRUCTIVE at least one of the characters' lives should be made measurably worse by it
if there was bandai pressure to cut things like a kiss scene i wonder if they also were responsible for how the anti-capitalist messaging got neutered at the end or even the way that every abused child's character arc ended with them forgiving and accepting their parent lmao
one of the things that i think hurts and confuses miorine the most in this scene is that even her relationship with suletta, THE most precious thing to her, has become fuel to strengthen prospera's unnatural hold on suletta
i like when lesbians and boys are bros together… this is something a lot of yuri media is sadly lacking i think ppl shouldn’t be afraid to throw a funny dude in there it won’t spoil things
YKNOW WHATS SOMETHING ELSE THAT BOTHERS ME. when people are like “omg this character does war crimes” and they just do regular war stuff. like war crimes means it has to be so bad that the people who kill people for a living are like “whoa that’s kinda fucked up”
it’s really funny how elnora in the gwitch prologue seems like a pretty normal person but she grew into prospera who is just 100% supervillain sicko mode 24/7. this woman became the fucking joker
the thing about the "WOW COOL ROBOT!/ WAR IS BAD" gundam memes is that they don't prepare you for just how cool the robot is or just how bad the war is
i love that the yuri discoursers on here are always either "yuri is all oversexualized male gaze crap we need more wholesome yuri" or "yuri is all tame sexless blushing and handholding we need more sexy yuri" like truly just working from polar opposite views of reality
remembering when i posted this and i got people arguing for the straightness of every single one of these characters EXCEPT miorine. the most indisputably sapphic character in gundam.

explanation for what makes calibarn such a monster... basically there is no filter between pilot and mobile suit, maximizing both the positive and negative aspects of gund-format neuro-synchronization. p rad, reminds me of the psycho-frame a bit
one of my favorite little touches in the new

ED that gets lost under all the flashier stuff is that when suletta and miorine interlock their fingers at the end, their hands are subtly but visibly trembling. it's suuuch a good detail
this is cowardly and disrespectful to both the fans and the people who worked hard on the show. you can't have it both ways you either have to commit to an lgbt story or don't bother to begin with
thinking about how suletta has always casually referred to aerial as family/like a person without feeling the need to explain and i just had this moment of like. wait. does suletta not know other mobile suits aren’t conscious
i've been doing important gundam research using the earth house height chart, the rosetta stone of gwitch heights. i think sabina is about 185 cm (6'0"-6'1") in heels but her heels are pretty tall so actual height closer to 175 cm or about 5'9"
they did not need to do my boy martin like this.... this scene was so hilariously fetishistic. shout out to the foot freaks out there this one was for you
it’s such an underrated part of the charm of revolutionary girl utena that it’s a very smart show with a rich visual language and its protagonist is a middle schooler who barely understands what a metaphor is
it's very Oof that neither prospera nor eri had to explicitly tell suletta that prospera never saw her as her real daughter, she just looks at all the information and is like "yeah that makes sense now."
the sad thing about suletta being grateful to prospera for sending her to school is that prospera could’ve sent her to school years ago if it had suited her purposes.
more than 20 years since king gainer came out and “mecha anime op where the characters and then the mechs dance the monkey over a loredump star wars crawl and also they repeatedly just say the name of the show in the lyrics” has still not been beaten
Overman King Gainer is out!
Gainer is dragged on the Yapan Exodus across Siberia as the railway chases them down.
He defends those he doesn't agree with, because someone has to.
Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino created a wild world for this one!

just hit me that it's only after hitting permet score 8 that eri is finally able to speak directly to suletta in her own, clear voice and the only thing she gets to say is "i'm sorry"
did anyone else get a sense after suletta realized eri had been taking the data storm her and then accepted that she’d pilot the calibarn there was kind of a penance vibe, or a “it’s about time i experienced this myself without being shielded from it”
what's kind of funny if infuriating is this is clearly an attempt to roll things back, so many people like the voice actors and social media ppl etc must be so confused like wait were we NOT supposed to be celebrating this
i really hope there’s more gwitch after this season i don’t want it to be over so soon and it feels like the characters are still just stepping out into the wider world… suletta hasn’t even been to earth u can’t have a gundam protag not go to earth!!!
this still seems bad. like this is just more "it's up for interpretation" with a little extra "does it really MATTER whether or not they're married as long as they have a loving partnership?" which if you knew anything about the same-sex marriage struggle like.... yes it does lol
I've seen some *weird* interpretations of what Tsutomu Ohno said on Twitter regarding the marriage and doujinshi matter. Hopefully, this will clarify what was said somewhat. I tried being as objective as possible here. If clarification is needed, please ask.

someone built an interesting dataset of yuri mangaka gender :0 it actually skewed more female than i expected! out of 267 mangaka 63% known to be female while 17.6% were known to be male, with 19% unknown
in a way i think this almost broke her as much as her friends and family dying. to Eri this is just a game she has no idea what she is doing... killing while maintaining her total innocence.
as a mother this would drive me insane, too
this comic is so cool and cute so far please read it! it's got magic, beautiful swedish landscapes, really cool visual effects, and the protagonists are the sweetest autistic girl of color and her adorable trans girl friend!! please read, updates saturdays
