Heyyy,, kinito dump!!!111!

[essentialthyme]

It's so funny that every time the audience reads a relationship between two women as romantic people come pouring out of the gutter to be like "why do you have to put romance into this" or reaffirming that they themselves read it as platonic and that it is somehow diminishing for the relationship to be romantic.

"Two women can't be friends without people trying to make it gay" is such a terminally online take. People used to refer to me and my ex-gf as friends all the time when we were still dating. In real life, it's the OPPOSITE like 90% of the time. Not to mention how these characters are usually confirmed friends and maybe only implied to have something more: the infamous subtext. So they are 90% of the time ALWAYS canonly friends.

It makes no sense. If every relationship between two women in media is platonic, does it not make sense that people are starved for romantic sapphic relationships? We read it as gay, but it's not confirmed. We read it as gay, but it's not confirmed. It's a fucking neverending cycle. One canon couple can only sate people for so long, it's been two years since Suletta and Miorine, I mean, come the fuck on.

"Well, regardless, what about the most important thing in the universe: friendship??? Think of the friendship!!!"

Is Marcille not friends with Laios? With Chilchuck, Senshi and Izutsumi? Why does she have to be only friends with Falin specifically?

Was Suletta not friends with Nika, Chuchu, Lilique? Was she not friends with all the kids from Earth House?

Why do people feel the need to write longform essays about how they feel that the relationship between the two women people ship is deeply platonic, but not about every other person these two ladies are friends with? Why does a romantic relationship lessen the meaning of the bond two women have with each other?

"I'm not homophobic, I'm just interpreting the text."

Ok, cool, interpret the pattern of all of these complaints that only target against femslash ships and tell me what could possibly be behind it, then.

hear me out about water ghouls:

To defend themselves against enemies, some water ghouls can secrete stinging venom from their skin, like a jellyfish. The stinging venom can also be excreted in shock when a water ghoul is frightened. Once, Dewdrop sneaked up behind Rain to hug him, pressing his hips against Rain's butt. Rain, who only noticed the fire ghoul when he pressed himself against him, was so frightened that he immediately let out a torrent of stinging venom.

The whole thing ended with Dewdrop sitting on the floor with a pained expression, applying an ointment he got from Aether to the affected area with a painful hiss, while Rain sobbed next to him and stammered out indistinct apologies.

Happy New Yuri! It's time to look back on 2024 !

Unfortunately, 2024 wasn't as amazing a year for textual yuri as 2023 (2025 is looking good, though!), but we are drowning in subtext as usual (and a few textual confirmations of ONE half of the couple's feelings).

I kind of had a hard time picking the 11 because this one was so subtext focused, but I did my best (for the ones I haven't watched, I went with what I'd seen talked about in yuri circles the most, which was tagged with LGBTQ themes the most on anilist, etc). Sorry, Laid Back Camp, NareNare, Train to the End to the World, and others.

And to pre-empt: I didn't include Gushing Over Magical Girls because it makes me deeply uncomfortable, and it's my poll. If you want to fully vote on it you can make your own poll--but you're free to vote in the "something else" option.

saying "no" is also an expression of fondness

The Real Anime Awards of 2024 (part 2)

Ever since Crunchyroll started doing their Anime Awards, I've made it my personal mission to make my own awards that represent the actual year in anime!

I already posted my silly awards list (with the truly important categories such as: prettiest boy and biggest trainwreck) so here are my serious picks. Don't take anything too seriously. These are just something fun I like to do every year. I can't watch everything.

Hasegawa, Ikumi as Masaki (Mayonaka Punch)

Ueda, Hitomi as Yoshino (Yakuza Fiancé)

Seki, Toshihiko as Muzan Kibutsuji (Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc)...This arc may have sucked, but he acted the shit out of it.

Inoue, Kazuhiko as Nyanko Sensei (Natsume Yuujinchou shichi)

Nagase, Anna as Harley Quinn (Isekai Suicide Squad)

Fujita, Saki as Koshi Torako (My Deer Friend Nokotan)

*I don't watch enough dubs to do nominations for English voice actors, but I want to shout out SungWon Cho as Senshi from Dungeon Meshi and Abby Trott as Ayase from Dandadan. They understood the assignment.*

So there you have it! My picks for the real anime awards of 2024! Don't take this seriously at all, it's just something fun I like to put together every year. I always try not to nominate the same things, but it's so hard to include a variety sometimes! 😅

We want from the battle of the gay girl band dramas last season to the battle of unhinged lesbians making clowns of themselves for views on youtube this season.

Truly a time to be alive!
