Spring will come again, people say. Yet I am heartsick. Nothing will happen when spring comes; That child will not come again.

- Nakahara Chūya, “Spring Will Come Again” from The Poems of Nakahara Chūya

Note: the poem was written after the death of Chūya’s first son, Fumiya, in November 1936

I’m sorry?? What?

Was reading a Wikipedia article on Mori Ōgai and apparently his daughter Mari was the “creator” of the YAOI GENRE?!?! I’m reeling.

Happy Birthday, Chevreuse!

What do I do for my birthday? Hmm, probably grab some fries at the snack shop.

Turns out Louis's snack shop is running a buy-one-get-one-free deal today. I picked up some fries and this oddly-shaped new product they've got.

It's super crunchy. Wanna try? Also, sliding it onto your fingers and eating it that way is surprisingly fun.

Oh, just a heads-up: make sure the Violetgold Angler Gulls don't spot you while you're eating these, or you'll definitely be in for a fight.

It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be "opposites" but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said "they're just like me for real"

Imagine meeting the most handsome goofiest genderweird butch you've ever seen and she has a dedicated probably monogamous boyfriend who to be fair is actually a pretty cool dude and you're devastated that you can't shoot your shot. Then you find out that up until last year boyfriend was certain he was gay and then he met this handsome goofy genderweird butch and was like oh I like women. Or at least women who are also men sometimes. So I'm bisexual. Also to make things more confusing they're both veterans who are actually pretty staunchly anti-military and hate every admiral they've ever encountered and the butch only went into the military because she desperately needed healthcare coverage for her father and the boyfriend was like. A legacy military brat who realized this is all pretty fucked actually. Congratulations you have encountered modern day Mulan and Li Shang

back in the heyday of mlp fandom there was one specific guy that commissioned insane amounts of self insert shipping art with pinkie pie. when the finale and confirmed pinkie fucked weird al instead he got a comic of his oc watching longingly at them like walking through the park with their kid and just solemnly accepting it and it was the funniest shit to me. he took it so seriously it was like a genuine breakup

THIS IS SO FUNNY HE GOT CUCKED BY WEIRD AL

Like Utena/Anthy in both movie and tv form predate the Tara/Willow storyline.

The show came out in 1997, and the Utena movie, the one where they make out naked for like five minutes straight? Came out in 1999.

Lest you think Utena was some kind of niche, late night anime, it wasn’t. It was a major project that aired in early evening on a flagship network television channel. The show was aimed at the same audiences that watched Sailor Moon, so wasn’t even a purely ‘adult’ show. Yet it was still explicitly sapphic.

Not to mention the deuteragonist was a brown skinned Indian woman, which is something that elicited racist feedback from viewers.

Tara and Willow became a thing in 2001, on the WB. Also Joss Whedon was there.

Know your history, respect your elders? Indeed. Believe it or not, East Asian media counts.
