Three results for OC archetypes, a listing of four of my fictional crushes (oh fuck-) and two worst ship charts ever. You can find the quiz here. You can find these and the template for the chart below.

Three results for Archetypes for OCs from The UnTitledverse, The Silver Chronicles and A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore.

ALFRED "JEFF" HOPPER (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

I don't this is necessarily correct. Throughout the first two sagas (The Pefect Storm and The Omniscient Rule sagas), Jeff has been nothing more than a supporting and often times tertiary protagonist. Maybe not a main but definitely important. He has moments of selfishness, sure, but that's not often. The only really selfish "messed shit up for everyone" moment was when he took the opportunity to change course of events which worsened the space-time continuum while he had been helping the Time Guard chase after a time-travelling mass serial killer fugitive who had been making Time unstable in the first place, which wasn't even out of malicious intent, rather he just wanted his bestest friend back from non-existence, that being Lena Elliot. So yeah, he screwed up, but not to a villainous extent.

ALEXANDER KHAOS (THE SILVER CHRONICLES)

Oh god another villain result. Which... is more accurate for Alexander than it is for Jeff. He's more of an antagonist to Silva, that's for sure (being the right-hand man and Chosen Extraordinaire, which is basically Jacob's top elite Chosen, of Jacob Seed). He has unresolved trauma in regards to his time in Wellington Wells and has embraced his role in Hope County in Eden's Gate, though if a stronger or more ideological compatible person came around, he'd take his loyalists (which includes Hannah McCalkin) and leave Jacob behind.

ALPH DOLEN (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE)

Link to Minecraft Poem for anyone interested. Oh good, I worried it wasn't going to be different. And OH WOW! Alph got read to filth here. Kind of ironic that he craves love and wants to be surrounded by love but is the "Lone Wanderer". Doubly ironic when he's ghoulified... something that should be where he is rejected by everyone and everything, but ends up with more than he could ever ask for, especially with Ress and Amata... until Arcane Urias ruins everything, as he does.

Here's the list of my top four fictional crushes:

Maki Zen'in - Jujutsu Kaisen (Specifically post-Shibuya Arc)

(I want to be lifted up and carried bridal-style in her arms)

2. Soundwave - Transformers Prime (when I was young and both completely blind without glasses I didn't know I required and literacy blind to whatever I was watching, I thought this Soundwave (the only one I had been introduced to at the time) was female... he's still pretty aesthetically pleasing though, cool AF, and a caring parent to Laserbeak so...)

3. Faith Seed - Far Cry 5 (daydreaming-about-frollicking-in-green-flower-fields-and-living-in-cozy-cottages lesbians UNITE!)

(however fair warning she might get you high enough to talk to God and try to convince you to join her older adoptive brother's cult)

4. GLaDOS - Portal

(...her soothing condescending voice that belittles and tries to get you killed and her smooth + robust curves in her awesome design enchant me...)

Honourable Mention goes to (look'em up):

5. Sea Empress - Subnautica

Two of the worst ship charts for The Silver Chronicles and Life, Despair & Monsters.

Translation for the unreadable:

What draws them together? Initially the mystery surrounding each other as no one except a very specific few know much about their former lives, and their opposing factions forces them to interact a lot, and thanks to the Bliss, that's what they mostly end up doing. Plus they mostly fit each others preferences.

What stands in the way? They are at war in two opposing factions, one that wants to kill/detain (Resistance) and the other that will kill but will try to indoctrinate Silva (Eden's Gate). Opposing morality, beliefs and trust issues also get in the way.

What are their good traits? Silva and Faith find companionship with another due to their similar past/current circumstances, and Silva's compassion and unexpected kindness is bizarre and appealing to Faith, as her cunning and passions are appealing to Silva. Both are willing to sabotage their own factions to keep the other around a bit longer, plus their determination to find a peaceful resolution.

What makes them hopeless at romance? Trust, or lack there of. Silva is weary that Faith will report anything she says to Joseph to better get her into Eden's Gate, while Faith is weary that Silva is trying to get close to manipulate her into coming out into the open to better take her down. Both are correct in the beginning but later down the line it gets muddied. Silva also refuses to speak of her past (understandable) except for the vaguest of truths while Faith doesn't fully open herself up in fear of being scorned. Not to mention it's been a long while since Silva had been in a romantic relationship and Faith is very inexperienced.

Describe them with one trope: Toxic Toxic "I can fix her" & "I can make her worse/better" Enemies-To-Lovers Yuri.

Translation for the unreadable (Also note that when Jennifer is talking about her partner, it's mostly complaining about Sonya, and Sonya's image is more a reference to what I closely envision her as):

What draws them together? They both fail to kill each other and have a bone to pick with both Dicko and Sir Enigma Malvolio and they're also considered "non-human" now.

What stands in their way? Sonya is unstable to the point she's agitated enough to kill others on instinct which Jennifer is trying to control much to Sonya's distaste. There's also the fact Sonya is like a 12-foot something mecha-beastie which she doesn't think Jennifer finds attractive. Jennifer is in denial of her feelings and believes if she loses control of Sonya then it will be right back to square-one like it was with Dicko or she'd die, either one.

What are their good traits? They both have a common interest revenge against Dicko (successful) and Malvolio (work-in-progress), and Sonya acts as Jennifer's trump card and intimidation factor in their illegal business. Both also have an appreciation for their brutal honesty and openness with one another and relatability (with Jennifer as a synthetic human and Sonya's brain transferred to a mecha-beastie). They have no problems committing murder together.

What makes them hopeless at romance? Jennifer is used to being treated as an object of lust and since her freedom from Dicko and take over of his business has pushed to be in control of everything (including Sonya) and is trying to ensure she doesn't lose that control and denying all romantic/sexual feelings, while Sonya is a victim of Malvolio and his treatment of her has left a lot of psychological scars where she dehumanizes herself and does everything in her power to prove it correct too.

Describe them with one trope: Toxic "I can make you so-so-so worse baby" bloody murder Yuri situationship/partnership on a mission of revenge with a pinch of monsterfucking and goes from "I want to kill you" to "I'd kill for you" pipeline.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵

She/her | 18 | lesbian | black | reality shifter and manifester since 2019.

Hello everyone. My name is Auriana, and on this blog I'd like to both document my journey in terms of manifestation and reality shifting and reconnecting with both communities - hopefully making some friends on the way!

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Some of my DRs:

- Arcane (Main DR)

- Honkai Star Rail DR

- Magical Girl DR

- Winx Club DR

- Demon Slayer

- My Little Pony / Equestria DR

- Pokémon Kalos DR

- Multiple Barbie Movie based DRs

You can expect me to rambling about my DRs, permashifting, my manifestations, and basically anything related to that or my interests over time. My main goal? Shifting before 2025 starts. I'm determined but also wanna work on myself till then. Since other social media sites haven't been the best help for me I'm sure Tumblr, a less louder corner of the internet could he a safe space for me.

TO MY MASTERLIST!

DNI CRITERIA:

- only really anyone disrespecting my beliefs or trying to start drama, besides that the regular dni criteria.

MY TAGS:

#❁auriana's takes = blog entries around the subliminal/manifestation community and my experiences.

#✿auriana's home = me talking about my other realities. Involves sketchers, headcanons, parts of my script, etc.

#✾auriana's treasures = me reblogging things that I find helpful / worth checking out.

That's all I'd have. If you'd like to become shifting or manifesting moots just ask!

some of my favorite Arcane fics/recommendations: a thread.

If you're lookin for some fics to get you through the wait until season 2 airs, i have some favorites/recommendations that I'd like to share. now, basically all of these are from ao3 (which is the superior sight i won't be taking criticism on this) and a good chunk of them are popular so you might have heard of them but if you haven't, check em out. (also if you'd like to reblog with fics i haven't mentioned/think i should check out pls do) also I'm going to give a brief synopsis and if it's complete or not so I'm not gonna be spoiling the whole fic. with that, let's begin.

Hellhound of the Underground: basically this is a "what if" fic if Silco were to choose Vi instead of Powder that night and Powder ends up with Viktor, Jayce and Caitlyn up in Piltover. It's SO good, the only thing is that it's pretty dark (but hey, so is Arcane) and don't worry there's plenty of Caitvi for the soul. Last update: 2/18/2024 (Author kerosene_dream)

Makeout Lessons with a Boxer: Caitvi but in college, everyone is horny, pining and usless lesbians abound. Fic Completed (Author p0etess)

You Don't Own Me: Caitlyn works 2 jobs as a bookshop worker and has a stripper alter ego and Vi is a boxer who doesn't like talking to/doesn’t trust Caitlyn but likes talking to/appears to trust her alter ego. Last Updated 08/30/23 (Author snootka)

Stolen Sister: Powder again ends up as Caitlyn's "sister" in Piltover but gets kidnapped on Progress Day. Caitlyn enlists the help of Vi to track her down but neither knows that the "sister" they're looking for happens to be the same person. Fic completed, has an ongoing sequel (Author PiLambdaOd)

don't try to follow me (i would hold you down): Caitlyn and Vi meet as teenagers and Caitlyn discovers perspective about the storms and trauma of the Underground and Piltover. a "canon-to-the-left" treatment if you will. Last updated 05/29/22 (Author searchforthescars)

The Threads of Fate Tangle and Twist: five years into Vi's stay in stillwater, a topsider shows up raving about being a councilors daughter. that's it. all i have to say. fic completed (Author Misthios)

the perfect ache: soulmate fic where soulmates can feel each others pain. angst abound in this one and i think you can guess how the two find out about each other. Last updated 01/31/22 (Author Amandosh)

Astray: Teen Vi tries to steal from the Kiramman's and Cait catches her in the act. an unlikely friendship blooms. beginning is set before act 1. Last updated 05/12/22 (author TheReaderWrites)

In The Woods of Wolfcreek: Caitlyn escapes city life to a town where no one knows the name Kiramman. she falls in love with the town, and it's people. unknowing that some of the people are wearwolves. Last updated 01/22/22 (Author OFJ_Eden(OneJumpFromEden))

In the end, we're both terrible people: Caitvi high school enemies to lovers. Cait is the popular, closeted, accidentally turned mean girl and Vi is the misfit, outcast, out of the closet lesbian. the two hate each other until they kiss in the locker room. fic completed (Author loveshazel)

That’s all I’ve got for the time being, like I said, reblog with some I might have missed but these are ones I think are really worth checking out. Bye! :)

[buglvr24]

Hey tell me more about arcane aka I've heard the name but I don't know what it is about/could google it but would rather learn from a fan than stupid AI 🖖

ok the arcane rundown

it’s based off the video game league of legends (DO NOT PLAY) it’s basically the origin story of two of the champions you can play as in the game: jinx and vi. it has some other champions too. the show is set in piltover, which is a rich steampunk city with a very poor and oppressed undercity. there is a lot of social unrest in the undercity. jinx and vi are sisters that grew up in the undercity.

there are lots of amazing fight scenes, all of the characters are interesting and developed. it can be funny and often very emotional. the soundtrack is great and the animation is EXCELLENT. i seriously love the style and all the character designs.

i seriously recommend it to everyone it is a great show.

also look at heimerdinger and his little pet poro

two fuzzy little guys, very cute

OH AND ALSO THERE ARE LESBIANS

[shut-up-danny-kun]

Disclaimer: OP is aggressively neutral about Taylor Swift.

The way the internet collectively bullies swifties makes me sick. Oh, you've decided you like this (extremely popular) (world-renowned)(award-winning) singer? Lol ur sooo basic, you have no taste, you're delusional about this boring-ass white girl, try and listen to some real music (like me)! It's always “don't make fun of people for their interests” with y'all until it's something you've decided to performatively hate in order to seem more special.

“Oh, but they deserve to be made fun of” stop right there.

“Her music is boring” I'm sorry, but popular things are popular for a reason - people like them. Not everyone wants to listen to Orangutang Johnson and The Men of The Seven Seas, and that's okay. You're not - and I repeat - you're not any better than a swiftie for listening to less popular music. It does not make you good. It does not make you more special. It does not give you arcane abilities to judge other people. If you have a musical education and want to critique Taylor's music from a quality standpoint, that's another thing, but it's not what the majority of haters are doing.

“she's queerbaiting fans by refusing to talk about her sexuality” NOT WHAT QUEERBAITING MEANS. THAT'S NOT QUEERBAITING. Celebrities are not characters, they are real people and they don't owe you a revelation of their sexualities. “But she's straight, I 100% guarrantee it!” and what happened to our precious “don't assume people's sexualities until they tell you”? Huh? Apparently that's okay to do if a girl looks straight enough? Imagine for a second that she was queer. Imagine how she would feel. She doesn't have to be a lesbian to be LGBT+, so what if she's, say, aromantic? She would risk facing public outrage over “tricking” the public with her love songs. You can see how quickly this goes south.

“She's a nepo baby! And she's a millionaire, eat the rich!” Look me in the eye and tell me you're not obsessed with a famous white man who is also both of those things. Go on. If you're not, you're off the hook for this one, but keep in mind you should also be making fun of virtually every popular singer, not just Taylor Swift.

“It's okay to make fun of swifties because there's a lot of them” it still hurts, you know. Especially if you don't get a lot of contact with other fans. Especially if you're very young or feel like you can't be yourself in your daily life and Taylor's music speaks to you.

In the end, all that you're doing is taking something that someone really loves and telling them it's worthless, and that's just plain mean. To any swifties reading: keep having fun. Listen to whatever music you like.

tap tap tap. is this thing on?

hi hi! it feels so weird to be posting on here after lurking. after forever dwelling in the cesspits of this app, i've finally decided to make an attempt at making some friends! especially ones into the same things as me.

a little bit about myself. my name is everette, i use he/she/it, and I'm a lesbian! i also answer to eve and evie! if it wasn't incredibly obvious, i have autism, and my hyperfixation just so happens to be everyone's favorite silly band: ghost <3

tags i plan on using :

#eve masterlist (all of my posts, archived.)

#eve makes (sims 4 content)

#eve ghosts (ghost content)

#eve rambles (unorganized, miscellaneous rambles)

#eve writes (prompts, ficlets, headcanons, anything i decide to write)

#eve answers (!! exactly what it says! i answer!!)

more may be added!

my interests ; ghost, the magnus protocol & archive, i have no mouth and i must scream, contemporary horror lit, j.c leyendecker, arcane, bg3, dbh, saw, debate, web design, the romantics, chappell roan, the romantics, ethel cain, tyler the creator, musical theater, especially cats and phantom of the opera. definitely more, but those are the basics!!

this is also an official call for literally any ghost fans. i desperately need more friends into ghost. being into a 'satanic' swedish rock band in the deep south is hard, y'all :(.

<3

[space-blue]

What are your thoughts on Vi becoming an enforcer in Arcane? Do you think there's any way for it to be well-written and how would you prefer it to go down?

I've talked about Vi before and especially how I don't appreciate how the rushed romance destroyed her character in the third act.

So enforcer Vi? I hate it. Unless they take a very bold, very dark angle on Vi's motivations or what it does to her to become an enforcer and betray her people, I genuinely don't expect good things.

Like, the poor, destitute, orphaned by enforcer child, to unlawful prisoner regularly beaten in isolation, to fucking COP pipeline should really never exist, unless it's to explore some sort of really intense psychological trauma and maybe Stockholm syndrom…

I'm scared because she's truly a cop in the game. She's got splash art in cliche cop gear eating donuts, and her voice lines (rehauled for the show) had police brutality jokes. She just wasn't "that deep", and the show made her final position a little more untenable. Knowing her background, it makes very little sense she'd ever align with Piltover. I really hope they don't use her interest in Cait as the main mean to get her in uniform…

Can't we have canon lesbians that aren't fucking cops?? I thought Cait would go more down the rogue investigator route, making her charming, using her family and wealth for her eccentric pursuits and obsession for the truth… But it's not really what we got.

The only way I can see this well done for Vi is if she slowly relents when she's not getting results alone, and resigns herself to asking Cait for help. Maybe then she'd find that she thrives as an investigator or mediator. Like, seeing Vi, throughout the season, slowly realise she's good at policing her own people, and they respect her, and maybe if she's the one doing it, then enforcers won't have to, and she can make it easier on everyone… basically becoming Vander 2.0, is the only way I can see her regularly collaborating with Cait.

That OR go broke and make her a class traitor! I don't mind! It's dark, it's fucked, but PLEASE just don't give us a bird brained Vi who follows Cait because she's horny and can't understand class politics 101. That would be so sad.

I want Vi to struggle with Vander's legacy, to realise that the brutality she's inflicting with her stolen gauntlets is exactly what he didn't want for her. That she's taking her place into the cycle of violence that keeps the place down. Even better if she struggles with Silco's legacy, and realising at last that she'd actually have been on his side if not for all the blood between them and her insurmountable distate for shimmer. 'Oh no, the guy you hate was right about something' sort of struggle. Especially if it pitches her against Cait and BOTH OF THEM have to actually acknoledge how fucked things are, and that patronising idealistic speeches to victims of oppression isn't 'change' or 'good enough'.

I'd love to see Vi demanding enforcer help on her terms because she blames the problems going on in the Undercity on them, on the council, and through Cait's endorsement, trying to use them to fix things. That's a way for Vi to slowly get used to their methods, to feel bad when one dies, to go to strategy meetings and slowly, slowly… become cordial. Even if it disgusts everyone else.

Urgh, idk, honestly. I try not to think about it too much. Cait and Vi are my biggest regret from season 1, as I felt like they were both weakened by the way they were used on each other. I don't expect either of their storylines to be my jam in season 2. I'm going in there for Viktor mostly. Got to see my boy finish drinking Singed's Nasty Juice and go full Machine Herald.

Him, Jinx, Mel and Sevika are my main draws to the show. That and the art and story were rivetting enough that I expect any sad Lesbian Cop disappointment to be dismissable.

[askinkiskarma]

Pls bb don't take this as an attack 😩😩😩I am genuinly trynna figure this out

First I respect the lgbt+ community fully, right !

I was wondering

Can you really say you are bi or gay or lesbian when you are attracted to this specific type but it is concerly the reflexion of the opposite sex you are attracted to, just because it's got this type of intimate parts does justify it ? Not so well said I know, in the end. But you get me

Example... : I say I am lesbian, I am a woman attracted to a woman that's got nothing feminine in her other than a vulva and a vagina. So you are obviously attracted to male "energy", but because it's got a "women genital" you refer yourself as lesbian ?

Do you get me ?

It's like this violet of Arcane thing. She is a women. Yes. But everything is a male metaphor in her.

The only thing I don't like is the non keeping of the male and female essence, it's still important. Otherwise there wouldn't be babies in the world and just chaos, because we don't respect the natural image of basically the essence life 🥺❤

Again I am not putting all of this in question !! It's just that sometimes I try to understand and I can't... Not because I don't want to obv

You can call me head blocked, stupid, not open to change

But I assure you that if I wasn't I wouldn't ask myself all of theses questions honey 🙈🌈

Thank you A for your read, smooches ❤❤❤

Hi! First of all thank you for approaching this respectfully! I think yours is a loaded question and I can only answer my own experience and my own point of view, so pls don’t assume this is how everyone feels!

So for me, i say i like girls because i like girls! Their femininity or masculinity (we can debate what that even means) has very little to do with it. If we’re talking about Vi, I love her personality first and foremost, her drive, confidence, charisma, i love how she looks and I think it’s a bit unfair to reduce her to her masculine energy, because she’s so much more than that! Since we’re talking about arcane specifically, i am also attracted to Caitlyn and Mel, both of which are very traditionally “feminine”

I think my point of view is that, as humans, we have evolved far past a necessity to only exist to procreate and to perpetuate the human race. I think we have evolved to be individuals with dreams and desires and aspirations, and I think we have evolved past the need to be put in very binary, restrictive boxes that only inhibit us and limit our potential and our very short lives! I think we should live to fulfill those dreams and aspirations, and that looks different to everyone. If you respect and require those more traditional values that’s entirely fine, just the same way as it is if you don’t and your life is not reliant on the same things!

I hope this makes sense i’m kinda drunk and maybe not at my most eloquent!

Art I'm Looking Forward To In 2023

I wanted to share the art that I think might be good coming out in 2023. I am not including ongoing art that I am looking forward to not because it doesn't belong here but because I might make another post about those things. I don't want this too be too crowded. Each of this will be given an SPS - Sapphic Potential Score which says how likely I think it is that they will make my lesbian ass happy. These are mostly goofs on what I think is likely not to be taken seriously.

Fire Emblem Engage

This is probably the thing I am most excited about, it's like my whole personality right now, I am obsessed. I really love the wild art style and the gameplay looks really solid. The concept of fusing with old Fire Emblem characters is really cool. The flying base is really awesome and all the fashion and side content looks really cute. I think this could be at the top of Fire Emblem games gameplay wise.

I do have worries about this game, narratively it seems rather basic, fight an evil dragon, maybe your half evil dragon, collect the mugffins and kill the big dragon. The game's DLC and Amiibo stuff is frustrating in the amount of content being gated off. The roster size sounds potentially pretty small seemingly going to tie around the same roster size as the smaller casts. I am also worried how Rosardo will be treated and I really hope we avoid a Forrest situation.

That said, I am way more excited then I am worried and I am a dirty little consumer who already pre-ordered the DLC knowing I will play the game day one and I want Edelgard with me. I mostly use my Twitter account to tweet about Fire Emblem Engage nowadays, I am just so excited and if you DM me to talk about the game, I will just gush about it for however long you'll let me. I can't wait and am glad we're getting it near the start of the new year.

SPS: Player Sexual and Historians will say they were besties/10

Arcane Season 2

While Arcane was far from a perfect show for me, I really love the breath taking style of animation and Jinx and look forward to seeing what happens moving forward and if they'll give Vi her terrible canon fate of becoming a cop. I think the character designs are all stunning and seeing the animation in motion is just so captivating I can't help but be enraptured in the show and want to watch more.

Not to mention the actual character interactions are all really engaging with brilliant voice acting from everyone involved really capturing the world. It's never boring when things are on screen even when the politics are mid at best. Ekko also presents what appears to be a solar punk anarchist alterative in season 1 but we'll see how that is handled by the show.

This show is a blessing and a curse, with the curse being now I know all this League OF Legend lore cuz I got really curious after and started playing Legends Of Runeterra but Legends Of Runeterra is one of the most interesting card games out there, so not a total loss. I know I'll be going into season 2 very different now knowing about all the things from the games where as before I really didn't think of this little war between countries in a wider nerd universe context. I am really interested on how I'll enjoy.

SPS: Directors Says It's Canon but not on screen/10

Assorted Entanglements, Vol. 1

I love myself some Yuri manga and while I prefer a more action forward Yuri I do like a Slice of life from time to time and having an anthology of stories bout women loving women who are adults or at least one story features an adult is exciting.

This little collection of yuri manga sounds really cute. I don't have a lot to say about it, I don't even know what all is in it, I just like the sound of it.

SPS: No Queer ID But Very Gay/10

Super Lesbian Animal RPG

[Technically this is out very soon but ya know, end of the year lists are already up and I won't beat this till next year]

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, I've been backing the creator for probably 2 years maybe 3 now on the dev journey. Whatever the number from the first time I played the demo I was hooked on this sweet little indie RPG. The character designs are adorable and colorful, the kissing mechanic is so cute, and really this is just what I want out of a game.

I really love when games just sell their queerness on the tin, I hate having to go and just randomly play a game and hope to the goddess queer coded or characters I just like are gay, here, I already know I am gonna get gay after gay after gay. Also having the protagonist be a trans woman is really cool and super rare to this day in the industry.

This game looks like it'll be one of my favorite games of all time not just next year and I can't wait to finally start playing it. Please check this game out, support indie queer art.

SPS: Ooops All Lesbians/10

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady Season 1

This series has a delightful name but seems to be far from the typical isekai fair. The series is a yuri and it is far less focused on the girl being super awesome because her past life and instead kinda treat her knowing about her past life as a thing that causes her to have a disability in this world. The Genius Young Lady makes magical inventions because she can't use magic, so she learned how to make items that make magic happen.

The girl is super sweet and kind and it doesn't feel gross at all. It's more or less just a fantasy story with the Isekai seemingly thrown in for getting the book published. It's a really interesting series that I haven't gotten very far in but I think this is going to be a super special anime. I really think this year might end up giving me my favorite animes of all time.

SPS: Yuri/10

Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! Vol. 1

[Technically this is out now but I haven't read it and won't get to it till next year] In terms of upcoming Yuri manga this isn't one I am sure I am gonna grab right away but it is one I am intended to grab whenever I can. Sometimes you want something a bit more horny then your chaste "do I like her" vibes. In particular what has me excited about this one because it actually is invoking Lesbian identity.

It is shockingly rare for sapphic manga in general but in particular yuri to talk about sexuality. We get homosexuality without sapphic identities, lives, problems, etc. I love when we are more zoomed into the real world way we use labels and we explore ourselves and communicate ourselves. While it's not "needed" to tell a sapphic story, I do think it adds a lot to bring in queerness.

Plus, I mean, a girl going to Lesbian Brothels, that's cool, i'm in.

Street Fighter 6

Of all the fighting game series, Street Fighter isn't my favorite but it might become my favorite thanks to this game. The massively in depth character creator seems to be beyond what any other game is providing in the whole industry. The utterly stunning range of possibilities is just so captivating that I am compelled to buy this game simply to dress up my character.

I really enjoy playing fighting games even if I am not particularly great at them. There was a time where I really strives to be a competitive level player and that did include playing SF4 a lot. While playing that game I fell in love with Juri and her returning here also really drew me in, plus following Chun-li's arc as a mother finally after so many years from SF3 where she adopted her child.

My only real worries for this is DLC prices and general business practices along with if I'll be able to use my OC creations in casual vs modes where I feel I should be able to use them. I hope the DLC isn't priced poorly and I really hope you can take your OCs to casuals even if they have to commit to one characters moveset instead of the custom ones from World Tour Mode.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2

Technically this is an ongoing series but there will be a break between seasons so, it goes here, I make the rules. I love The Witch From Mercury so far, Sulleta is adorable, I think her and Mio are cute together, I think the cast is fun and the action is stunningly animated. I have loved season 1 so far, I only didn't include it in my list of art that touched me this year because season 1 isn't done yet and won't be done till next year too. Bad endings could for sure ruin this but ahhh I love this show.

This show has really great characters, so many shitty people I hate but I hate in a great way. Then it has characters I fucking love like Sulleta, Chuchu, and Prospera who are just fucking amazing top level characters, best characters in the biz. Then there is the utterly stellar action, I mean take my breath away, I love this shit. It really is just really fucking good.

I can't help but worry that the show will fail to deliver actual queerness but it really doesn't seem like it will. Still, I can't help but worry about it. I also worry about the story kinda falling off in season 2 but I really don't know what is gonna happen, all I know is I am locked in right now and excited every Sulleta Sunday.

Wake The Living 2

While I hadn't become instantly hooked on the original Wake The Living, the improvements to the game for the sequel is utterly thrilling. With the game already being very queer and having a fun more gothic edge to most SRPGs it really is setting up a familiar yet strange little world to enter.

What really sold me on this game was the developer talking about wanting to have canon polyamory as a major part of the story and about how canon queerness not just player choice mattered to them so it really pulled me in and I still really want to beat the original before I play Wake The living 2. The first game is out for free, right now, go get it, it costs nothing if you don't like it you can delete it from your steam.

I'm In Love With The Villainess Season 1

[Warning, kinda spoilers except I don't say who does what]

I'm In Love With The Villainess has it all, I can only hope that the anime gets to go on long enough for us to see it. We got demons, trans women, lesbians who get married and adopt some kids, revolutions and so much more. The series is really good and gay and written with tons of passion by a queer woman.

This I suppose has long passed being an indie series but it was a little webnovel that good and made it's way all the way to being an anime thanks to fan support, which has also been a large amount of queer fans. This anime is really exciting and I honestly can't wait and hope this brings in way more fans to this amazing series.

Granblue Fantasy Relink

I love the Granblue Fantasy's gacha game world, it's a totally unethical business' model and I hope it becomes Illegal but I love the game. Granblue Fantasy is one of the queerest games of it's scale around. Now most queer readings of characters are readings and they use the word friends but there is explicitly a few queer characters with stated queer desires, Vira Lillie is attracted to women, Katarina in particular but her bio says women generally, then Katarina as a level above. Cagliostro and Ladiva are both expressly trans women in their stories, they do not use the label of trans but both are explicitly trans, although only Cagliostro gets the "female" Gender marker from the game. Rosetta who is confirmed to be playable in this game is explicitly bisexual with her bio mentioning she is attracted to men and women. There is more and then a lot more subtexty characters.

This is to say that I really love queer characters in games and being able to play them in a really stunning action RPG is fucking exciting as hell. No gacha mechanics, no microtransactions [probably], and a full story that is playable start to finish. It also is gonna have online co-op! This game sounds fucking perfect honestly, like it's so cool and looks so good, I am frankly dazzled at the amount of work that went into this given it's a spin off RPG of a Gacha RPG.

I have worries about potential annoying DLC practices, in particular if in GBF awards will be locked to playstation buyers again leaving PC players in the dust. I also worry about the roster, right now we know all the Dragon Knights are in and the main crew of the Grand Cypher but that's like it. It isn't exactly an exciting cast. I'd like to see a lot more characters and hope a lot of popular ones aren't gated off to DLC like they were in Grandblue Fantasy Verus. Regardless, I am excited and look forward to giving this a stab.

THANK YOU...not to be a hater but you are the only person i've seen acknowledge how boring caitvi was.....they *could* have been good, maybe, if they'd been allowed to develop any sort of chemistry or nuance or complexity to their relationship, and i *wanted* to like them, but god it just felt like the writers slapped them together without thinking too much about it and expected everyone to go 'let's go lesbians!!!' which is basically what everyone did. man

this is a hater safe space. it just wasn’t very good. like in their defense, it wasn’t any worse than the rest of the show? but arcane was just very mid.

We Were Listening To Lovers Rock

by cupcaits

Vi Lane was just one of the select few to be transferred to Piltover Prep when Zaun High nearly got burned down in a horrible accident. With tensions high between the Zaunites and Pilties (and a suspicion going around that a couple of Pilties were the ones to start said fire), it's enough to make everyone on edge. The students at Piltover Prep are unhappy with the change and one of the most vocal about it happens to be the most popular girl within the school, Caitlyn Kiramman. She was Valedictorian, Prom Queen three years in a row, the captain of the volleyball squad and the rifle team captain. Not to mention, she was the daughter of Cassandra Kiramman who was a councilwoman and filthy rich. She represented everything Vi hated and it's not long before the two bump heads. And things really heat up when they land themselves in detention after a fight. Determined to get underneath each other's skin, neither anticipate the moment where the angry tension turns more sexual and suddenly they're determined to get underneath each other's clothes. Secret relationships never go well, bound to end in disaster. But for the two girls who can't seem to stay away from each other, it was the recipe for a perfect disaster.

going ninis rn so i wont get into detail but my trio are:

warden calliphora surana, arcane warrior/spirit healer elf mage transfem lesbian lelimancer who is allergic to responsibility and has major commitment issues but forces herself to take on the mantle of leadership out of a desperation to be liked and out of fear her newfound freedom would be taken away. masks this hesitance and fear with a big heaping of sarcasm and humor and over the top positivity. is neutral towards the chantry, circles etc during the game, considers herself andrastian, but post-awakening has a crisis of faith and ends up very radically anti-chantry in her views. was only 17-18 during the events of the game and her immaturity rlly colors her decisions accordingly

marian "rian" hawke, reaver/bezerker butch lesbian merrilmancer. red hawke w shades of blue, has the opposite problem as calli where he takes on wayyyy too much out of an insistence he has to be the strong capable one At All Times. anti-chantry, loves his blood mage wife to pieces, overprotective as helllll, anger issues mostly stem from severely unmanaged anxiety, generally incredibly full of love for his family both bio and found but is very bad at expressing it

faithful trevelyan, nb aroace human mage inquisitor who was a late bloomer for their mage abilities and was actually partway thru early templar training when they kicked in. SUPER brainwashed and pro-chantry, deep self esteem issues expressed via being a pompous asshole to everyone, but if i ever actually get around to finish inquisition I'd probably have them go thru a whole deprogramming arc and end up being anti circle by the end. never beat their game bc inquiz's gameplay and story is such a drag to me which is a real shame bc i really love their basic concept

man i should talk abt my dragon age ocs here they're like. staggeringly developed for something i haven't spoke much about on here

I got to go shopping for the first time in like a year on Monday. This included getting to set foot in a bookshop for the first time in said year also. I didn’t have a lot of time, so I essentially just panic-bought the first thing that looked interesting in the sci-fi/fantasy section.

Said panic-buy was The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.

This was a good choice.

I’ve just read it over the past couple of days, and it’s lovely. It’s really, really lovely. It’s sort of … it feels a bit like a combination of Nirvana in Fire and a low-chaos Dishonored run?

Basically, the abused, exiled-since-birth, halfbreed fourth son of a murdered Emperor is woken up in the middle of the night and told he has to take the throne at eighteen with exactly ZERO preparation, and makes an excellent go of it just by dint of being an intrinsically, consistently decent person and semi-accidentally surrounding himself with other, extremely competent decent people to make up for the lots of very nasty ones forced on him by circumstance.

It’s fantastic. Exactly my cocktail of court intrigue, arcane fantasy social rules, oodles of fealty and loyalty and the complicated interactions thereof, and a dude just being ridiculously and basically kind and just bowling everyone over by it.

Also, it has the hypercompetent sidekick without whom his master would be completely lost, bodyguards wrestling with friendship versus fealty, extremely complicated family dynamics, struggles with formality and privacy in a rigid court setting, a lesbian married pirate aunt, a burned-out gay priest-turned-detective who is heartbreakingly shocked by basic kindness, a group of lady intelligentsia fighting for recognition, a fiancé whose knee-jerk response to a coup against her unwanted husband is to offer to duel the conspirators on his behalf, loyalty won by just automatic, instinctive kindness …

It’s a lot of lovely things, is what I’m saying here. Excellent panic-buy, would recommend!

I feel like Vi (from Arcane) is what Yang should’ve been. Vi is allowed to have a love interest, while still caring about her other relationships. Powder (or Jinx) is still her highest priority no matter what, and she even gives Echo (her friend) higher priority when the situation demands it. She doesn’t forget all her other relationships the moment she gets a love interest. She and Caitlyn actually have great chemistry and doesn’t feel forced or cringy. My only complaint is that Caitlyn is the only woman (or feminine presenting person) in Vi’s life who isn’t family or an antagonist, so striking up a relationship would feed into the stereotype that lesbians and mspec people fall for everyone we met. Of course, that’s not to say I don’t ship them, or that they wouldn’t be good rep. I can’t wait for season 2!!

vi is like... yang, if the rwby writers actually cared about consistency and high-quality writing.

like you said, vi is allowed to have a love interest in caitlyn while also having other relationships that develop. i feel like caitvi throws all the arguments people have had over bumbleby's canon status out of the water.

folks said bumbleby couldn't happen because "the girls are in the middle of serious things and don't have time for personal relationships because they're fighting a war!!"

well, ignoring the fact that arkos and renora both happened in the middle of big battles, caitvi blows that out of the water by basically having them have romantic moments during all the shit that's going on.

runeterra, like remnant, doesn't have queerphobia or discrimination based on things like sexuality or gender. in an interview with one of the arcane writers, amanda overton, this was said:

and it makes sense. i love when fantasy realizes that homophobia simply does not need to exist in their made-up world!! there's no concept of "otherness" in the world of runeterra (regarding sexuality at least), and it's great to see that caitlyn is able to bring girls to her bedroom and her parents just... don't react to them being girls. it's nice. fantasy worlds do not need homophobia/queerphobia/etc.!

the thing is, neither runeterra nor remnant have queerphobia. but while caitvi basically start being a thing in like... the three days they've known each other, bumbleby is still in the "will they? won't they?" limbo. ren and nora still argue whether blake and yang are just friends or something more.

arcane shows that the argument that "it's too soon for blake and yang to get together" just doesn't hold water. over just the course of a few days, cait and vi were able to establish that they were at least attracted to each other. neither runeterra nor remnant have queerphobia, so what's with the fucking wait on making blake and yang official?

furthermore, how come vi is allowed to show blatant attraction to caitlyn in the "you're hot, cupcake" line but we can't get anything similar for yang and blake? like, just a reminder that rooster teeth is a fully independent studio with no networks or censors to go through regarding its LGBT+ characters, so we should expect nothing less than EXPLICIT confirmation for them regarding queer representation. RT has has no reason to make it vague or hide it!! literally zero!!

but anyways.

vi is just... such a great character. she's allowed to have a romance with caitlyn that takes the forefront of arcane (a big part of arcane's story is caitvi's romance, this is undeniable) but she is also allowed to have other important relationships in her life.

it feels like yang and blake are not afforded this opportunity, and that they've both been basically joined at the hip ever since volume 6.

arcane is rwby's atlas arc but better written, vi is a better yang, and caitlyn is a better weiss/blake. 

that's just my two cents on it anyway. watch arcane, folks.
