*Fires Yurification Beam at Narinder & The Lamb*

i have terrible news they'd look the exact same except now the lamb is balalaika-core ( with a little bit of roberta the maid from black lagoon ) and narinder can officially be given the 'failwife' title

I think something that really makes Odile's characterization work for me is that she's not straight-forwardly the character archetype of "starts out cold and rude and is revealed to have a soft side later" since her aloofness is more about her having difficulty expressing her emotions, or expressing her care in unconventional ways.

Even early on she makes jokes e.g. when you analyze the toxic yuri Sadness after one of them dies, she says "This is what love does to you." or her comment about how the party are allies at best which can defenetly come across as distant and jaded but Isabeau picks up that she's just joking around. And all around she's just a surprisingy light-hearted person for the kinda impression you get from her.

And obviously there's late game stuff like the Sus Event where she presses Siffrin on what's going on, and I can see why Siffrin freaks out being questioned by her, even his personal issues aside. She comes off very strong but her questions clearly still come from a place of concern.

What makes all of this even more intruiging is that SASASAP Odile does kinda fall into the archetype. She's still considerate of Loop and tells them to tell her just one small thing that bothers them in the True Ending, but during one of the breaks she also says "Leave me alone, I met my nice quota for the day." which feels kinda unnatural and isn't something I can see coming from ISAT Odile if it's not a joke. Which kinda loops back to my thoughts on how early iterations of ISAT play into the "found family with nuclear family roles" trope which ISAT subverts.

Edgar (art by @lazy-toad. He has no official art, so I have permission to use his)

deranged twink that fell in love with the guy trying to steal top secret government info from him and now they’re in a loving relationship. he’s going to die of a brain hemorrhage (possibly????) in six-ish years. there’s an evil version of him that cyberbullied his boyfriend but a little bit to the left. he’s the brains of the time travel organization that he, his boyfriend, his boyfriend’s friend that has killed said boyfriend before, and two of his coworkers. he killed two versions of his boyfriend to save one. he can’t eat gluten. he can’t stop saying the wildest shit. he has a thing for cowboys and it becomes a central theme of the plot. the first description we ever get of him is “he’s a twink, i don’t need to explain what a twink is, you know, i know, blond twink at the desk”. he and his boyfriend call each other gross and sappy pet names that make everyone want to puke up their guts. he’s even left handed.

Literally the first time he's introduced he's first described as being a twink. He's also first described to be a relatively normal person but as the show goes on it turns out he's actually a little bit deranged, he claims that iterations (time travel duplicates) of people are no different than the "original" person yet is weirdly willing to kill iterations of his boyfriend whenever necessary. He and his boyfriend do have a healthy relationship however, and it's maybe even TOO healthy as they are disgusting and annoy everyone around them with their love. He met said boyfriend because he worked at a front desk at a top secret government facility and this guy manipulated him into sharing top secret codes with him. He is aware of this and they are in a loving relationship regardless and we know from future iterations of his boyfriend that they are going to continue to be gross and in love untill he drops dead in eight years from a brain hemorrhage. That's right! He's not just a deranged twink! He's a doomed twink! An iteration of Edgar found out that he was going to die in eight years and as a result he decided he'd turn to cyber bullying an iteration of himself and his boyfriend in an attempt to turn all of his friends against him. He even got axe murdered inside a wall one time! He thinks cowboys are hot and as a result the future widowed iteration of his boyfriend is now a cowboy.

Every once and awhile I get into oc drawing moods where drawing anything else doesn't appeal to me, so heres a huge dump of the past 3 days! First row -> Soap, Grunglebomb, Balalapap (Based off slugpups ive had!) Second row -> Venus + Earth, Europa (Planetorators!!! planets but iterators they have lore and I love them. Oh yeah toxic yuri too) Third row -> Fuckface + Rae, Milk Cap, Polslug (Miscellaneous group honestly, Milk cap is based off one of my pups and polslug is polish lol)

We call everything on the ice love.

This cosplay is my love letter to Yuri!!! On Ice. 💜⛸️❄️

I am a newer YOI fan (December 2023), but wow I fell so deeply in love with these 12 episodes. I relate to Yuuri so much as a character, and I'm happy there is an art form, some way I am able to pay tribute to the show. Getting to know these characters helped me get to know myself better.

There were literal blood, sweat, and tears that went into finishing this Eros costume for Fanime 2024. It is by no means in its final iteration, and I can't wait to see what else I can do to perfect and improve it.

It was so wonderful to see everyone's reactions at the convention, the genuine joy and elation to see YOI cosplayers in 2024, the commiserating about the movie cancellation. 🥹

I'm so grateful I was able to cosplay with this group of wonderful friends to pay homage to a show we all love so dearly, and I can't wait to do it again.

i wantchu to know my only experience with iterator shpping to this point has been Pebbles/Suns (i guess. whats even the name for that one? idk). But you have opened my eyes here. Lilypad is just so compelling in a way thats hard to describe. Adds so much depth to the whole Hunter Slag Keys thing!

You have just activated an unskippable cutscene LOL

Suns/Pebbles is called sunstone, which I think is very cute ^-^ Most rw ship names are pretty cute tbh :3

ANYWAYS. YES. Lilypad is so so so good…I really like it because Sig seems to actually be a little more emotionally vulnerable with Moon than she does Suns, implying they were closer than Sig and Suns are. Not to mention, Sig barely mentions Pebbles (or acts pretty standoffish) when he does mention Pebbs.

These are two messages it sends to Moon, but it seems to imply he’s sent more, considering “it’s me again” and the fact that there are more than one we are shown. They could have only made one just to show he was worried, but the devs chose to put more than one, just to drive the point home. It shows a panic that Sig is unwilling to reveal to Suns.

And then we have this.

Sig is basically telling Pebbles he hopes he wallows in regret for this. While Sig does express her general disdain for Pebbles’ attitude with Suns, he still makes a point to be understanding, saying “I think a lot of us were like that in the beginning.” Meanwhile, in this broadcast, none of that empathy is present. She is angry, to a point he refuses to reveal to Suns.

I believe that Sig’s biggest fear is being alone. He describes their situation as being “locked up in a box”, and comes up with the idea to use slugcats as messengers in an attempt to make sure when the comms systems degrade, something everyone else seems to have just accepted as a grim inevitability. So it’s pretty understandable Sig would be pissed at the person who took away one of the few remaining friends she had left. If you wanna read my other massive essay that goes more in depth to this point, here it is!

The fact that you can find the green overseer in outer expanse and subterranean during the Hunter, Monk, Survivor, and Gourmand campaigns is also shows how desperate she was to help Moon. If it was only around during the Hunter campaign, okay sure, that’s probably just him looking for her, checking if she made it to the void sea. However, the fact that it stays, likely long after she knows Hunter’s time is up, means he’s probably searching for any sign of activity from Moon. Still waiting and wondering if her plan was all in vain. The reason I think it doesn’t appear during Rivulet is because of the destruction of OE and just…age. Unfortunately, Sig might just not have the ability to send an overseer that far.

Lastly, the pearl he gives to Moon. This seems to contradict my first point, doesn’t this seem like he’s hiding her emotions behind humor again? Well, my interpretation of this is that: Moon just woke up from what is essentially a fucking coma. Giving her a message that’s like “OH MY GOD I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU AHHHHHH” would probably not be helpful to someone who is likely in a ton of pain, disoriented, and scared. She knows not to overwhelm Moon right now.

And…yeah. Sig seems to hold a lot of genuine adoration for Moon, and looks up to her kindness. I think his jokiness stems from him wanting to emulate Moon’s uplifting nature. He cares about her a lot and also I just love doomed yuri LMAO. SIG AND MOON LESBIANS FOREVER AND EVER.

[sweetbottletops]

I would have been more into Animorphs if it was a GL series.

Ch 99

I wondered where Narita had gotten himself too. Did he get assigned a different class to start the semester? Either way, he's one of the few who'd both not be surprised by Koga's rizz and isn't attracted to her in that way so not getting his reaction at the time is probably fine.

After all, he understood Koga's allure to others more than Aya from the very start.

That yellow box is going to f'up the print version. Truely wild of her.

Since I can see into the future (pages) it's now established it's been exactly one month since Koga went viral for her video. Then a day or two after going viral was when she thought everyone had forgotten again only to be ambushed by that jerk face. About a week later she returned to school as this fully actualized Koga-san.

So this current state of things at school has now been going on for at least a couple weeks.

Aya and Narita is aware of the situation. Koga is...um.

As it's been established, Koga's animal form is an Akita who is loyal to one person. She is just blah blahing about music to Aya and not aware or caring of any attention outside of that.

I'm not sure you could say Aya has a gap anymore.

Yuri enjoyer David "Narita" Attenborough.

I can only assume Aya has a demonic aura left over from that serial killer related song call out from the last chapter.

"Koga-Senpai!" <<< Senpai? But she's baby??

I dunno. I think Aya could take on little seaweed head here no problem. (Can we all agree Hime-chan has dark green hair?)

"Ah...you were here too, Oosawa-Senpai?"

I still think there's a chance she has room in her heart for an Oshi couple. She did spot them being cute together.

Nothing like having your own words thrown back atcha.

Once again if Koga had even a hint of what was going on in Aya's head at times...

I'm not really worried about it being a love triangle or anything like that. Koga has her special interests in only two subjects: music and Aya. They are way too absorbed with each other. There is no space.

I think Aya will have a chance to reflect (a kick in the butt) from meeting someone who sees Koga as her Oshi the traditional way...and realize how far over the Oshi or even friend line her own feelings have gone.

Before now introspection in this direction wasn't a rush because she had Koga all to herself and Koga's issues were the big focus most of the time. But this current Koga has that musician energy that attracts others and Aya has to finally decide if what she wants is to be more than just her first or biggest fan.

Hopefully Koga lets her know exactly what space she gets to take up too. She's kinda said more on that recently, but Koga probably has at least one more grand gesture in her.

This feels like the third iteration of this movement forward for them. One for each volume. And Agu said a phase was ending and this is the next. So let's take this thing from School of Rock to Yuri is My Job.

[voldkat]

back on my queer bullshit

hmm how about moon x sig x sliver? we love gay polycules in this world of rain

PRIDE WORLD — DAY 17 / 30 !

[forrksie]

Because it is a Yuri Day, have my two sweet girls 🥲 they are my Iterator OCs I dearly love🥲☀️☀️

[homoeroticbetrayal]

Iconic Homoerotic Betrayal: Round 1

Round 1 Directory

Context:

Homura/Madoka

"(Spoilers) Homura has fallen in love with Madoka, and made a wish to be able to protect her earlier in the series. This gave her time travel powers and made a groundhog day scenario. Later in the series, Madoka attains godhood by wishing to save all magical girls, and this is her as a goddess coming to bring homura to girl heaven. As she grabs Homura’s hands, Homura instead uses magic to split Madoka, into her as a human, and as the Law Of Cycles. (other name for god) She takes the power of the Law of Cycles and makes a new world were she can be with Madoka forever. (Please watch the show for better context, its so good and I’m very bad at explaining.)"

"It's been a long time since I've seen it, but IIRC, Homura betrays Madoka at the end of the film out of love ("love") for her and basically undoes the ending of the original series and becomes a demon in order to save ("save") Madoka from her original fate. It's unique because it's a betrayal that's done "selflessly" (at least from Homura's POV) for the sake of the person being betrayed"

Ryo/Akira

after an entire manga of trying to defeat demons to save humanity together, including having akira fuse with a demon to be strong enough to defeat them, ryo regains memories he didn't know he lost and is revealed to have been on the side of the demons all along, and everything has been part of his plan to eradicate humanity. and ryo had akira become the titular Devilman in order for him to be able to live on in that world of demons he wanted to create, because he loves him (yes, canonically). naturally akira won't stand for that, and they fight to the death and it's all very tragic.

but i suppose a specific betrayal scene in this context is that ryo broadcasts akira's part-demon nature on tv to use him to make humans all kill each other out of fear that anyone could be a demon?

anyways it's very iconic, if there's a morally dubious/secretly on the opposing side gay guy in love with the protag in a piece of jp media since 1974, there's like an 90% chance it was directly or indirectly inspired by devilman. lelouch from code geass? ryo. kaworu from nge? ryo. komaeda from danganronpa? ryo.

also pretty pretty please use the original manga iteration, im so sick of seeing crybaby everywhere. (Mod: In case these two wins can someone send me a good image from the og manga for next round? I haven't read it and google is giving me more fanarts than og.)

[dol-dee]

IK nobody asked buuuuut I'll talk about it anyways.

I somewhat fall into the category of prefering fem iterations of the dol characters. I say somewhat bc, Yeah I like women but thats not the main reason.

DoL HEAVILY relies on tropes and well known character archetypes when it comes to it's NPCs.

A lot of them are ol' reliables and (at least to me) feel very worn out when in their cis male version. Which is why I often gravitate to the version that feels more "fresh" or subversive to me.

For Example: I love my fem Sydney but her particular character trope (corruption of the "pure" religious character) feels a bit more interesting (to me) when its M!Sydney.

Although I will admit that another reason I tend to favor the female versions is that most dol fandom depictions (that I have seen) already have a strong bias towards the male version of these characters. The ground there is plenty covered already and I don't think I can bring much new to the table there.

I don't think most people will care about my particular opinions/List on this , so I'll put it under a cut haha.

Tbf I like to let the game do it's own thing to see what it cooks up in the npcs body, sex and gender department but I do have a few characters that I consistently change like Avery.

Cis M!Avery is just suuuch a tired trope to me (probably bc it's not that uncommon in real life either?) Another man with anger issues who exclusively dates (according to canon aka Vrel) only 18 to 20 year olds? YAWN. idk I could just go look at Leonardo DiCaprios dating chart if I wanted to see that. Obviously, if it does something for you, go right ahead. I'll leave you to your feast, it's just not for me. I need Avery to be a very smarmy, maladjusted butch woman.

Okokok I'll get to the list now (for the characters that I have developed strong opinions about anyways) and I'll go into, what my current/canon run is set to as well as what I prefer depending on what I find more interesting. (with some notes if I have thoughts on the character) uhhhhh Ig I'll do it in Alphabetical order?

Avery: Preferred: F! Avery Current Run: F! Avery (note: I think I went in and manually changed it) - (Nothing more to say really, I already mentioned my reasons. Plus M!Avery just makes me feel icky)

Alex: Preferred: No preference Current Run: M! Alex

Bailey: Preferred: somewhat neutral but leaning towards F! Bailey Current Run: F! Bailey - (Bailey once again seems to have a lot of M! fanworks already and I like the idea of her being either futch or butch. Bailey just strikes me as someone who'd wear a lot of boring suits. Very nondescript/practical)

Eden: Preferred: F! Eden Current Run: F! Eden - (Eden is a case where I really wanted to live my Huntress dbd fantasies out with her but was open to the option of M!Eden. Until I ran into him in my first run and I really didn't like it very much. I prefer her as a hulking hermit woman atp also sad toxic yuri between Eden and Bailey <3)

Harper: Preferred: No preference Current Run: F! Harper - (Harper lowkey gives me Moira Overwatch vibes (mainly bc of my design lmao) so I have a soft spot for fem!Harper)

Kylar: Preferred: No preference Current Run: F! Kylar - (I do think same sex PC and Kylar is hilarious considering Kylar is so fixated on getting you pregnant, so in this case: ig whatevers funnier <3)

Remy: Preferred: F!Remy kinda Current Run: F! Remy - (I'm actually kind neutral on Remy's sex and gender but I do think its somehow funnier when it's F!Remy. Like whats going on there that she wants to give other women humongus tits and milk them?)

Robin: Preferred: No preference Current Run: M! Robin - (Robin is cute either way!)

Sydney: Preferred: No preference Current Run: F! Sydney - ( I have no real preference for Sydney and I already mentioned my thoughts on them)

Whitney: Preferred: F! Whitney Current Run: M! Whitney - (I've seen this trope so many times with hyperagressive dudes. It's not doing much for me. To see that kind of behavior with a fem character instead really revitalizes my interest in It! M!Whitney is fine and hes kinda grown on me but I think I'd have more fun with Whitney if they were femme instead)

[labselkie]

Fantasy AU Basics!!

because i need to get my mind set on smthn and i wanna write for this one soon

(the dragons r unrelated to the main plot i just rlly like this divider also this will probably be updated a bunch)

luce is the princess and liv is the king’s appointed sorcerer/alchemist. soo basic but hear me out

it’s a seaside kingdom! not gonna name the monarchs or the kingdom itself because i don’t gaf. its economy is obviously based around fishing but the surrounding town has become a hotspot for artisans

like. scrunkly if u see this. there’s probably a royally mandated school for sciences, meaning i can shove martor into this! yay!

but. there is no queen, or it seems that way, she was an oceanid nymph who saved the king little mermaid style and fell in love. she retreated to the sea (idk why don’t ask) and their daughter is a selkie! dayum!

liv’s got an ursula/yzma vibe. soooooo sorry but i’m a sucker for those purple ladies. she’s still on the basis of being drawn by the need for knowledge and a splash of mad science, but it’s spliced in with a bit more magic

liv!!!!liv has a curse! damn! it’s the same as the dunmeshi thoughts i had, but the basics are that she’s got her soul mixed with a kraken’s. she can summon the beast if she’s at the water (it takes a lot of strength) and she can conjure tentacles on her back like usual yayy

i always get embarrassed bringing up that they have such a large age difference, luce is a full adult in all iterations but i never want it to come off weird. whatever anyways they’re around the same ages here anyways (mid twenties nd early forties)

i think the reason why for that^ is cuz i see so much bad booktok shit and i don’t want to seem too similar. they don’t have a “i’ve known you since birth” thing like ive seen, they’re not some manipulative dark romance. they’re just chilling

ANYWAYS TANGENT OVER! luce nd liv have known each other for a good while, obvs, having first been introduced when the former was youngr

but. their first true time together was when luce was 22/23. her father is flanked by advisors and overseers who have slowly made him more and more almost demanding. she’s 22 and hasn’t married, so the school of piranhas crowding her father have been insisting she gets sold off to a neighboring kingdom

she was in the court when they all decided this, so she ran off in a flurry of seal fur to the laboratory and just pleaded for a potion to calm her down. a lot of liv sorta messing with her for a little bit, mainly just because she’s been slowly treated worse and worse by the court, but after a while she warms up promise

unfortunately, for a cliff side palace, the only exit to the ocean is through the lab (the excuse was that liv needed easy access to more materials) so liv nd luce meet more and more often as luce keeps trying to sneak out to the sea

ITS ALL SUCH A CHEESY DISNEY PLOT IM SORRY😭😭

whatever. yuri prevails

[spideywillandmjwheeler]

For the artist: are you planning on including other Stranger Things characters in this? Of so, then how? I know this is Byler-centric, but I would love to see the others as well! Btw I absolutely love the concept of Spider-Will🥰

yes!! because we're taking inspiration from multiple iterations of spider-man, the roles other characters play in the story are very flexible and aren't one-for-one matches to particular characters. that being said, el is gonna be featured as spider-el (because i'm a sucker for willel wonder twins content), who goes on to the superhero big leagues ala mcu spidey, while will remains the friendly neighborhood spider-man! here's a sketch of her design so far😳

we also have jonathan as head of photography at the bugle and nancy and/or robin having a role similar to yuri in the ps4 game! other characters to come as we solidify them :D thanks for the ask!
