#now just a yaoi connoisseur

[yaoiconnoisseur]

well.. this isnt really a kkir/naruto centric blog anymore so

✨ name change time ✨

[specterthief]

sometimes it feels like people call m/m ships they like yuri not because the relationship explores themes and tropes that are most commonly found in the genre, or takes inspiration from yuri, or even from any place of experience with yuri media to be drawing a comparison to things they like about yuri, but because they want to absolve themselves of liking "yaoi" by saying the BL they like is actually something better, because to paraphrase a really good post, admitting to liking yuri makes you look smart and admitting to liking BL makes you look like a pervert and no one unpacks what biases there might be in this

(also probably compounded by whatever compels people to say "he's a woman to me <3" to defend themselves on posts about how people don't treat female characters with the same depth and interest as male characters)

i can feel myself getting pretentious about people misusing the yuri meme i need to go to bed

Doctor Elise Ep. 5

| Ep 1 | Ep 2 | Ep 3-4 |

Nuuuuuu I'm finally caught up with Doctor Elise.... My potato chips....

This was a very fun (Mary Sue (positive)) Girl Boss episode, with Elise taking proud ownership of what she did despite being disbelieved, and keeping things professional between her and her patient.

This Prince y'all. He don't know shit about romance. He's never had the inclination to even bother with romance before, and watching his little baby-deer-leg-like attempts is very very cute. It's very fun to be watching this and the BL/yaoi Cherry Magic at the same time because man they are two sides of the same coin in playing with tropes and dealing with power imbalance in romance.

THIS show could be a yaoi if it WASN'T A COWARD.

I am enjoying this show SO MUCH because I (am old) enjoyed watching Dr. House, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, and the autopsy/sciencey bits in CSI:LV and NCIS (with Abby!)

Capybara is enjoying this because he is a connoisseur of well researched fanfiction, with Sick Fic being one of his main staples. He has learned to recognize certain illnesses because some of his favorite authors do a shit ton of research on what to do to their whumpees darlings, and those well researched stories don't go with boring reasons for why certain symptoms are appearing, but more realistic diagnostics.

He was very excited at guessing what was wrong with each patient in these episode and it was fun to watch him get excited about it.

Spoilers Under the Cut

Elise defending and explaining her report about the Splenectomy was funny because... her hand writing was such an issue, but despite all the little hearts and the poor writing that is OBVIOUSLY not Dr. Graham, they still have trouble believing it's hers until she can walk them through the report.

MORE HAND WAVING WITH THE "I turned this surgery over and over in my head" (more like she already did a successful one with the Dead Mom Hair lady) Its just barely believable, but it marks her as a literal genius, and actually makes for a good story if she WAS an actual medical genius.

HMM I WONDER WHY THE TEST IS GOING TO BE HARDER THIS YEAR??? Fuck all the other students, we wanna make this lady fail so she can be queen! But she has 3 doctor reccs to be able to take the medical exam!

And another doctor immediately tries to steal her with NO consideration for the Head of the Hospital and Head of Surgery being RIGHT THERE IN THE ROOM WITH THEM. No subtly this man, which makes sense if he CANT EVEN RECOGNIZE ONE OF HIS REGULAR PATIENTS!!!! FAILURE.

This No-Thoughts-Head-Empty Just Having A Good Time face is so funny to me.

Then we get some more reminiscent of the backstory, and I'm okay with this being a little Mary Sue -ish type tragic backstory cause she kinda deserved it, admits she deserved it, and is trying to make amends (because she wasn't THAT evil of a villainess, just an ignorant and spoiled rich kid).

But the Prince finally admitted something was wrong with himself and goes to the clinic to get himself checked out by Elise/Rose while he is in his Ron disguise. He finds her pulling ivy off the buildings, and MAN the initial angle on this made it look like she was two stories up (so I started chanting fall, fall, fall so that you can get caught).

but no, she's on a fucking step stool lmao.

We DO get a classic "Staring at each other from across the way as the wind blows and their eyes meet and they have Thoughts."

She then proceeds to diagnose him and Capybara started chanting "Hyper thyroidism? Hyperthyroidism." as each symptom and question is answered

and dammit he was RIGHT!!!

AND OH. I WAS WRONG. YES. GOOD.

THIS SHOW IS A YAOI AND ELISE IS THE SEME.

LOOK AT THIS BLUSHING MESS OF AN UKE. She's taking your PULSE, sir, not your CLOTHES OFF.

And he keeps coming back for more lmao. And is SO UPSET when the two months are up. But is probably like HELL YES I GET TO MARRY THIS LADY. maybe. the thought probably hasn't occured to him actually now that I think about it...

Until he goes to her BROTHER for advice on what to get her, and despite being the grumpy big bro IS SO ACCURATE IN HIS ADVICE. But the Prince thinks he knows best (with ZERO experience, like, what did you even ask him for then?) and gets her a shiny thing instead and fails.

It's all worth it though cause Babygirlboy prince smiles in the end!

[kawaiipsycho101]

Tagged again! Hooray! =D

I have once again been tagged by @zwiezraczek (thank you, by the way!)

rules: answer the questions in a new post and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better

A - Age: Physically, 22 (I am old...T-T), but I’ve been told I have the mentality/emotional strength of a 16-year old.

B - Birthplace: Midwest, U.S. of A.

C - Current time: 3:27 PM

D - Drink you last had: Diet Pepsi

E- Easiest person to talk to: My Mom, my consoler, @zwiezraczek, @yuratchka-speaks, my Dad, & an old friend I’ve had since high school (I don’t want to say his name for privacy reasons).

F- Favorite song: I don’t really have a favorite song since I can never choose, so here are a few off the top of my head--Some Nights (Intro) by fun., Love Like You from Steven Universe, Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen, I Can’t Decide by The Scissor Sisters, & Mz. Hyde by Halestorm.

G- Grossest memory: No comment (I don’t really have that many gross memories, and the few that I do have, I don’t like talking about).

H- Horror yes or horror no: YES! I consider myself a connoisseur of horror, and enjoy studying them very much. I’m not a big fan of gore-fests/torture porn (even I have my limits), but I’m very fascinated by the mindset of those who enjoy/create those types of movies, along with the effect that they have on people. 

I- In love?: Ha! I wish.

J- Jealous of people?: Literally all the time. I’m constantly comparing myself to others and diminishing my self-worth when I’m around people I see as superior. 

(There’s no K...Was there supposed to be a K? Oh, well.)

L- Love at first sight or should I walk by again?: I don’t really understand the question...If you’re asking me if I believe in love at first sight, then my answer is no (although I wish I did). I believe in attraction at first sight, but I’m not so sure about love.

M- Middle name: Isabel

N- Number of siblings: 2 older half-brothers & 1 sister-in-law.

O- One wish: To be happy with my life.

P- Person you called last: My Dad

Q- Question you’re always asked: “What shampoo do you use?” (I wouldn’t say I’m always asked this, but it comes up sometimes because people really like my hair & think I do something special to it...which I don’t ;)

R- Reason to smile: My family, my friends, cute animals (especially kittens & puppies!), & sweet, sweet yaoi. 

S- Song you sang last: Either Some Nights (Intro) by fun. or Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid (both are songs I’m singing for my voice lessons)

T- Time you woke up: Around 10:30 AM (I sleep late when I don’t have anything to do)

U- Underwear color: A tad personal, but okay. Just let me check really quick....hmm, white (I actually don’t have that many white pairs, most of them are different colors)

V- Vacation destination: Japan (Still need to learn the language though...Watching anime can only get you so far!)

W- Worst habit: I’ve got a bunch, so it’s hard to choose...I’d say either not being hygienic enough, or always doubting myself/worrying over little things.

Y- Your favorite food: Three-way tie between milk chocolate, fried chicken, & peperoni pizza

Z- Zodiac: Libra 

I tag @yuratchka-speaks, @icecoffeemonster, @slytherinpirate, & @sybilius (you don’t have to if you don’t want to, of course! :)

Thanks again for the tag! =D
