@yuridelirious

here are some more butch x butch recs !!! (unfortunately most of them are oneshots, the only one that isn’t is the first one, i highly recommend it tho)
@rexxydex
absolutely nobody cares about whether you personally could get into yuri or not, or if you think it’s “male gazey” the historical facts say that yuri and the lesbian liberation movement in japan were deeply intertwined. yuri was originally created by women for women
both of them were hurting so bad and somehow i relate to both the “why can’t we express our love outside of sex” and the “but i yearn to worship your body because i love u so much” argument. i really do think them splitting up was for the best, nothing they did to make up worked
this picture is so funny bc at my books a million there’s always at least two yuris front and center on a display. specially the moon on a rainy night and i’m so convinced that one of the employees is a himejo
yuri is my nutrients, yuri is my food, yuri is my water, yuri is my air, yuri is my blood, yuri is my family, yuri is my friends, yuri is my job (yuri is my job reference), yuri is my hobby, yuri is my favorite color, yuri is my lifeline,, yuri is my life.
@Thequietfrench
trans women definitely experience it at a way higher rate and intensity, but growing up i always had a sense of guilt whenever girls would sit on my lap or hold my hand bc i knew i felt differently about it than they did, and that they’d be grossed out if they knew how i felt
yuri heaven is real, repent (read more yuri) and spread the gospel (make a yuri recs acc) before the end times (the growing popularity of incest pedo yuri) stay strong even when demons (gl tiktok commenters) attack your soul, and stick close to your allies (fujos and himedanshis)
@rexxydex
love, please stop speaking. believe me when i say that the lesbians and himejoshis have this conversation covered. if you’re not willing to do the research or the reading, you’re opinion has no basis
i need you all to believe this bc ik people overdramatize these things but i genuinely let out the most inhuman noise at seeing this and it lasted a solid 15 seconds
i want some yuri mangas with some strap action in them, i’m not talking about smut manhwas, i mean your classic adult yuri manga with smut here and there, i need them to throw a strap into the mix
i hope akio get mauled by feral himejoshis and comes out torn to shreds and then gets sent to yuri hell where he has to watch 13 year old girls insult his fuck ass face on the internet for the rest of eternity
Shiroi Heya No Futari (1971)
i couldn’t make this list without the mother of yuri,, arguably the first yuri to ever be published. the melodrama, tragedy, and theatrics in Shiroi Heya No Futari is unmatched. a must read for yuri enthusiasts
@himejoshistalin
less cross dressing manga and more trans yuri please 🙋
i tend to lean away from cross dressing manga for a similar reason, they’re like an inch away from being a trans woman but we can’t have that no no no
personally, i don’t think using GL or Girls Love when describing yuri is inherently bad, but i wish we would move away from the idea that anything labeled “yuri” is hypersexual or problematic (incest, rape, abuse, etc…)
9.5/10
a non traditional take on a yuri isekai. both of the mcs are villainess, and they both were best friends before they got transferred to the new world, but bc they’re in new bodies, they don’t recognize each other. it’s really interesting i recommend giving it a shot
new yuri looks sooooo promising and it’s by the mangaka of crescent moons and doughnuts and trying out marriage with my female friend!!!!
(Becoming Her Lover for the Sake of Love)
moral of the story,, stop saying there’s “yuri for men” and “yuri for women” when yuri is completely subjective. also the himedanshi to transbian pipeline is a thing so let’s stop jumping at every himedanshis throat and assuming they’re all fetishizers please 🙇
a direct quote: “We, the Yurizoku, embrace the history of the word "yuri," laugh at the overblown Victorian symbolism of the flower, and enjoy stories that both genuinely reflect our experiences as well as those that are absurd flights of fantasy into lesbian stereotypes.”
yall i have just been informed and researched the history of shoujo ai and i will not be using it anymore, i should’ve done more research before using it in the first place
ANYWHO, time for my yuri sales pitch. PLEASE BUY THE BOOK THAT TAUGHT ME ALL OF THIS PLEASEEEEEE, ITS CALLED ‘By Your Side: The First 100 Years of Yuri Anime and Manga’ by Erica Friedman. THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN A YURI BLOGGER FOR 21 YEARS BUY ITTTTTT, it’s $20 🙏🙏
Phryne Magazine (1995)
A lesbian magazine that was released in two issues, June and November of 1995. I specifically enjoyed the amount of butch characters throughout the different short stories
for some much needed context, the term yuri came into existence in the 1970s through a gay men’s japanese magazine. the magazine featured a portion dedicated to lesbians (named the “lily tribe”). it included lesbian comic strips and resources on lesbian meetups
as to how using the term Yuri over GL when describing wlw media became so stigmatized, that can be attributed to an (unnamed) yuri fan in 2017 with a large online following that began promoting the idea that “Yuri” wasn’t an organic term, but that GL/Girl’s Love was
WIAT YALL I WAS WRONG MIKAN UJI ISNT A HIMEDANSHI I WAS MISREMEMBERING FROM A DIFFERENT MANGAKA, still a funny afterward though. this is why i need to stop pulling random things i screen shotted 6 months ago from my camera roll without context MY BAD 🙇
silently pleading that the followers i’m getting from this are butch lesbians bc i love butch lesbians please i wanna kiss them all i love you guys mwah
🛋️ The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This by Ikeda Takashi
a truly realistic and refreshing yuri about the daily life and struggles of an established couple, including them having to navigate their journey with a trans-feminine lesbian teenager living next door
the author of the book i’m mainly sourcing for my info stated that the community didn’t like that it was simply created to make publisher’s lives easier. another reason was how the term “GL”removes the lesbian history linked to the yuri genre
in the years after, lilies (aka “yuri”) began symbolizing lesbians in japan. this morphed into the genre we know today as yuri. yuri became a genre made for anyone and everyone who enjoyed it. this included men
another interesting poll taken from a yuri subreddit 3 years ago. if you add up all the people who aren’t men, it’s 1,654 while the men are 1,189 in total. again, imo this poll shouldn’t be used to prove any kind of point, especially since reddit has more men as users in general
