I am not kidding when I say I love ever single fucking one of @falloutboy's albums. Every single one of them has a huge place in my heart. This one will be no different.

the fucking STRINGS AND PIANO????? on Love From The Other Side???

Y'all I don't know if you will ever see this but I love your music so much. SO much.

Christ this song was a fucking gift I am so in love with it.

I can feel it in my veins dude it's SO good

Otherside Picnic is so good when it’s doing what it is good at…Just got to a bit in the third novel where Sorawo very casually drops something that sounds very traumatic for others, but is just something that she has accepted as true, and doesn’t care about talking about. She is more interested in talking about the direction it sent her in than the event itself.

Toriko stops her and hugs her and Sorawo can’t understand why she’s being given this sort of response at all, even if she’s otherwise desperate for Toriko’s affection, so it isn’t described in quite as needy or sweet a way as even the sorts of “she said I was pretty and it caused me to have a nuclear meltdown” moments of the first two novels.

The anime really robbed us by taking us away from the perspective of our damaged main character…That’s where all the depth is, in her handling of events.

Saving people begrudgingly and being annoyed with them and herself for going along with them, not wanting to make human connections despite being a deeply lonely person, that paradoxical desire she has to be close to Toriko in a hostile world because she feels it belongs only to her…Sorawo is such a good character!!!

this poll includes anime that center a lesbian relationship, irregardless of if it’s marketed as a Yuri or not (for example, G Witch wasn’t marketed as a yuri)

how does the manga compare to the original novels for Otherside Picnic? I'm debating looking up where to read the novels since I'm caught up with the manga

The way most people talk about Otherside Picnic adaptations is like this: the anime is mediocre, the manga is good, and the books are amazing. The manga is very good but it struggles to capture Sorawo’s internal monologue, which is the most fascinating part of it all. I could talk forever about how much Sorawo’s thoughts and limited perspective on everything are important to Otherside Picnic, but other people have said it better than me a hundred times. I have read all 8 books twice and I only learned about Otherside Picnic in summer of 2022. And I know I will be rereading them many times in the future. They’re so good I can’t begin to get across just how good they are. Again, the manga is very good, but it’s honestly more enjoyable to me after reading the books because I know what Sorawo is thinking the whole time

I think part of the reason i latched on to Witch from Mercury so hard was it scratched a rare itch for me. As a lesbian weeb I like yuri, but I'm also aromantic and stories that are just about romance and relationship drama are intolerably boring to me because I just can't relate. G Witch gave me girl's love alongside political machinations, psychological drama, and giant robots fighting. That's the shit for me. I want lesbians going on adventures, solving mysteries, fighting monsters, saving the world, etc.

[smokestarrules]

time to reread Otherside Picnic for the third time!

[lecliss]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I finally got to Red's introduction!!!!! I knew Max Mittelman was gonna do a good job as Red but Im so used to energetic voices from him like Ryuji and Agnum that a deep chill voice was like, really unexpected for me. I barely even recognized it as him, but that just goes to show how good of a VA he is!!!!! And hes voicing the Mr. Fuzzy Wuzzy Fluffy Boy aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[chaoticevilspacewitch]

Sapphic love stories have sustained me in dark times. Blake & Yang. Suletta & Miorine. Chisato & Takina. Yuu & Touko. Sorawo & Toriko. Rei & Claire. Eve & Villanelle.

Yuri Manga gives me life.

My recommendations : My dear lass (not completed but i love this so much) and The moon on a rainy night (not completed either but its so good) and Bloom into you (the GOAT). Have fun!

If I channeled my FoB autism and my Warrior Cats autism together to draw shit I'd be so powerful I would be creating works of art at a rate that would raise concern in both my friends and relatives

Image description: A four page black and white comic of my tortoiseshell cat, Bunny, complaining that I won’t let her in from the screen porch.

Page 1 

Panel 1: A small tortoiseshell cat sits on the other side of a glass door, looking up sadly, saying, “Mama! Mama, help! I’m in the screen porch!” 

Panel 2: She scratches at the door. “Mama! Mama I’m trapped! I’m trapped in the screen porch! Mama!” she cries. 

Panel 3: She looks through the glass with her sad, innocent expression. “I see you, Mama! Can’t you hear me? Why won’t you let me in? What have I done, Mama!”

Panel 4: The left corner is dominated by a close up of her face, as she reminisces about the cat tree in the screen porch. We see her perched on the very top, looking out over the backyard.

She says, “Was I not grateful enough, Mama? You gave me a throne, here in the screen porch! A place where I could look down upon the world as a god!”

Page 2

Panel 1: While she’s perched atop her cat tree, it begins to rain outside. Bunny looks askance at it from behind the screen. 

“But I couldn’t touch it, Mama!” she narrates, now in boxes instead of word balloons, “I could see the rain lavish the earth, but never feel its cool caress!”

Panel 2: A paw rests on the screen. On the other side, two birds chirp, unbothered by the presence of Bunny.

 “I could smell the blood of the song birds, but never taste its warmth! I lived as Tantalus in this screen porch, Mama!”

Panel 3: Sitting on a cushioned chair, bunny looks out over the yard, barred from her by the porch screen. 

“Tormented by what I could never reach!” 

Page 3

Panel 1 : Another reminiscence, this time of Bunny running through the open door to the screen porch earlier that day while I was taking out the garbage. 

“And yet I returned, again and again and again! Was that my sin, Mama? Is this my punishment? To be condemned forever to a hell of my own choosing?” 

Panel 2: Returning to the present, Bunny looks up from the otherside of the door, her eyes wide.

“Is this what you call justice, Mama?” She says. “Is this what you call love?” 

Panel 3: From Bunny’s perspective we see me; I am ignoring her, going about my business. She calls out to me, “Answer me, Mama! Mama!”

Panel 4:I glance back at her, unmoved by her cries. “Mama!” she yells. 

Page 4

Panel 1: Pulling out we finally see more of the wall which has the door to the screen porch. Directly beside it is a cat door that goes through the wall, out into the screen porch. Another cat, Bunny’s sister Maggie, is coming through the cat flap with no issue.

 I say, “ Bunny, I know you know how to use the cat door.”

Clawing at the window, tears in her eyes, Bunny screams “MAMA!!”
