Thoughts on toxic yuri?
One of my very favorite storytelling concepts, I love it when women make each other worse. <3
I do think it's important, for me anyway, to note the difference between a dynamic that's toxic in one direction versus something that is mutually toxic. The first one doesn't really interest me a whole lot, usually because it means one character suffers constantly without being allowed to do anything else--at the very least, it will come across as the more ""normal"" character not really being that into the relationship in question. I need BOTH parties to be unhinged.
The important thing for any fictional relationship (though we're specifying toxic yuri here, obviously) is that it's interesting. If there is no limit to what the women can do within a dynamic, then there are an infinite number of ways for that dynamic to go. And while you can learn a lot about a character through examining their values and positive qualities, you can learn just as much (if not more) by considering their flaws. And those flaws really come out in the case of toxic yuri; characters get to show the uglier parts of themselves in this context, which I am always a fan of. A fraught, complex relationship, when written well, can be a really great way to psychologically explore the characters: what inspires them to act this way? why do they think this behavior is acceptable? if they don't think it's acceptable, why do they keep doing it? what do they think about the concept of love as a whole? how far would they go for intimacy or to be understood? how do they view other people in general? and probably most importantly, what led to them developing the beliefs underlying their actions in the first place?
From a more "psychologically, why do people enjoy this" standpoint, mutual toxicity often goes hand in hand with extreme obsession, extreme jealousy, and a willingness to forgive a whole lot of horrible shit. Which, yeah, in real life you don't want to be in a relationship like that. But I think there's a lot of emotional resonance in exploring those feelings. The idea that someone will never leave you. That they think so intensely about you specifically that they'll break anything and anyone to stay with you. That even if you're the worst version of yourself, someone will still want you because that's still you. Someone knows exactly how to fuck you up because they genuinely understand you. Things in fiction that we would never want in real life can be incredibly interesting or even cathartic to witness from a distance. I think we all feel things that scare us sometimes (or even simply feel an innocuous emotion so intensely that it scares us), and looking at unpleasant feelings within fiction can help identify, parse out, process, and successfully cope with those feelings. And I think, at the end of it all, a lot of people want to matter to someone, in some way. It makes sense that some creators would take that concept-of meaning a great deal to another person, of affecting them deeply-to its absolute extreme through writing.
(And also, consider. That I am very gay. And that horrible women are very attractive.)

I understand that this is quite a thing to claim to want when probably The™ wlw ship of all time for me is#mireille x silvana#but a) mireille is rather unhinged on her own outside of her relationship with silvana courtesy of being a highly cynical assassin#(and is herself not immune to doing some pretty intense shit for the sake of people she loves)#b) mireille is committed to KILLING silvana for said toxic behavior.#& also c) their rivalry is so DEEPLY personal that mireille is still obsessed with silvana even if it's for...not the same reason silvana#is obsessed with mireille. like the TYPE of obsession is different but the LEVEL of obsession is the same. if that makes any sense.#(also. some of the ways mireille acts suggest that hate might not be the ONLY thing she feels toward silvana. there's obvious homoerotic#tension on silvana's end but I think there's some on mireille's too. at the very least she seems to regret that silvana wasn't#the kind of person mireille originally thought she was. along with probably a sick sense of pseudo-respect)#mel screams about fictional ladies again#writing#fiction#toxic romance#(<-not really sure how else to tag this)

Six(ish)-Sentence Sunday
Happy last day of pride, have some incredibly-toxic-yuri WIP :)
Had that girl sensed this darkness in Mireille from the beginning? If she had distrusted her, or thought she was dangerous, was she simply trying to crush Mireille before Mireille crushed her? Or perhaps she was trying to nurture that darkness. Free it from the binds of fear. Maybe she saw Mireille as a weapon, one she could control. Mireille is more inclined toward the second possibility--but she’s genuinely not sure. Being unsure, not having all the pieces, it bothers her. Being in the dark about a situation makes her... ...scared. Fear of the dark. In some ways, she hasn’t changed since she was a toddler; it’s just the darkness is metaphorical now. Built on a lack of understanding instead of a lack of light.

Six-Sentence Sunday
(Not related to the thing I keep talking about, but I did remember I was working on this, so here you go. Pour one out for Mireille/Silvana, the most problematic™ sapphics I can think of, and the rarest rarepair in my armada of ships.)
If she were one of those excessively sullen Russian writers, she might say something pretentious like, The greatest intimacy you can give another is taking her life, but Mireille knows that’s not true. She’s killed a lot of people for a lot of jobs, and every time it’s been a methodical, clinical process; there’s no intimacy in any of it. But this feels…different. Sure, finally eliminating the Intoccabile is cathartic and it’s a climactic end to a conflict that’s been building for years, but even more than a grand finale, it feels almost like…a confession. Of what exactly, she can’t say. But it’s much more personal than any other assassination she’s done. Driving the knife into Silvana’s abdomen feels like some sort of communion ritual, and that would probably break Mireille’s brain if she wasn’t so exhausted.
