An older lady finds interest & joy in beauty & make-up to help her cope with the loss of her husband.

happy femslash february, here's a 3 volume series of grandma yuri. in fact I'm quite sure it's the only multi-volume yuri that centers around Actual Old Women

the summary frames this as the main character coping with the loss of her husband, but… he was a bit of an asshole! and her memories of him are a little ambivalent. rather than a story about grief, it’s more about freedom and self-expression—with help from someone who’s more used to being blunt and outspoken

I really like that it’s a story about self-discovery; basically a coming-of-age for an 80 year old. there’s a lot that the main character has had to repress, or just never really had the chance to explore

there’s only two chapters translated in english so far, but please. give them a read. open your heart to grandma yuri.

I'm reading poetry at 1 am and spiraling over like 45 emotions at once, which is how poetry was meant to be enjoyed, I think

[adore-gregor]

Lol I keep on doing this, saying I'd come back to tumblr to only disappear again 😂😭

[windupaidoneus]

hey read mores can be used for shit nobody wants to see i forgot

im acutely aware airing out my spirals is inappropriate at best but it's either that or i bottle up & stay at least mildly upset over nonsense forever. having a therapist (that i trust) would be nice but until then all i can do is walk through my own mental processes aloud to get normaler. & thankfully it does work. i do feel better when i publicly analyse myself & less upset at whatever caused the unwarranted negative emotions of the month. again sorry to everyone though.

Okay I'm going to say something and not tie to what I saw on Twitter. It is about certain ships. I've seen hate on bleach ships in general, particularly shunnao recently. And people went and dug up old Tumblr posts from when the manga was still ongoing to call these fans delulu.

Here's my two cents:

(1) if shunnao fans are delulu, so are juushun fans, or sword x Shunsui fans, or whatever. In that, in canon, he's one-sided in love with his sister in law. Now does this matter? Not at all, because shippers will ship based on chemistry and what characters they like. I find it unfair that juushun fans who were hated on from men a few weeks back on Twitter not jump on the bandwagon to hate other bleach ships, as though they're not the same fanon boat.

(2) Why are you calling out old Tumblr posts? These posts were made as the manga was ongoing. These shunnao fans didn't know the two were related. Kubo has written omake where Nanao has a love confession for him. He has had Shunsui flirt with her in the past. It's unfair to call these fans out for something they didn't know as Kubo dropped the bomb at the end, and call them all sorts of things like incest supporters. When many of these fans deactivated as a result. Or deleted their works. (With regards to work deletion, I don't think it is fair we demand someone takes down all their works because their ship turned out incest; I think it is their right to maintain that they did that work under a different set of knowledge and they have the right to intellectual creativity as any of us. I think that is why many of shunnao fans say "if they weren't related". Because they don't find it fair they must delete everything now or the contribution they made to the fandom.)

No OP does not condone incest. Does it mean fiction doesn't have a place for incest? It does, but I don't trust men to write it; but I trust women. It doesn't matter as most of these fans didn't know it was incest and stopped writing after it became incest.

No OP also did not read the story as a shunnao ship. I read bleach backwards as the suicide theater part and Shunsui's unrequited love made me want to read the whole manga. So I read it when I had all the facts, and could clearly see the whole story. Shunnao fans didn't, they read it chapter by chapter as the story was ongoing. They formed the ships early on, perhaps even early on in age (shunnao is a very age 12 kind of ship in regards to attraction to older experienced men imo), and it's hard to swerve once you're committed to a ship, even if now you are older. I always saw them as family because of how Shunsui patronizes Nanao. But that doesn't mean people cannot read the same story differently.

And it doesn't matter what "morality" credentials OP has to make this point, because I don't have the right to impose on anyone of what to ship, and most people have coherent reasons as to why they ship and they can find evidence in the canon for that. Unfortunately shunnao was also one of the few f/m ships that had weight in the fandom, which is inundated by m/m ships mostly. (I pray for f/f ships but alas we know how that statistics goes.) The point is, you cannot hide behind morality in pushing your fanon ship over another, just when you were attacked for said ship by "canon" people. And even then, the point of fandom is to give something new, a different spin, hence why canon is also not as important: it's a starting point and people go and experiment from there. And yes, I would condone shunnao art or fics even if it were incest, in the sense that, I would not know how the story treats the topic without reading it. Is it fetishizing it? Fiction is always a space to deal with uncomfortable truths, so hiding behind morality is the same as antis. (What I mean is, I defend their right to ship it.)

Me, 5 days ago: I'm just gonna go over my outline again, I feel like I'm getting stuck.

Me, today, exhausted and covered in blood: So I restructured the entire plot and changed the timeline and half of the conflict. Also it's a trilogy now.

(Guess who is now actively working on a rework of ASE... this guy.)
