what i love so much about matsukamu is the inherent tragedy of it all.

post sdr2 matsudas been dead, body reduced to nothing. izuru has for the most part disappeared in favor of the return of hajime. all their feelings memories conversations are trapped in the recesses of hajimes brain, behind memories he would prefer to not acknowledge the existence of.

matsuda and izuru wouldve been the only ones to know of their relationship. the kamukura project was already a secret, their relationship was an even bigger one. maybe someone like junko was aware of it but again: the dead tell no tales. any tangible records of it are in matsudas long burned project notes and memories a character like izuru wouldnt see the significance in sharing

idk theres something really compelling about that— their feelings were so real to them but because theyre doomed by the narrative its erased. the love was real but now theyre gone.

in a non despair au izuru arguably wouldnt exist, matsuda would be able to cure junko their paths would never cross and if they did it would be hajime instead.

theres no resolution to it, their bond reduced to ashes like the rest of the world— one they were both complicit in the end of.

today's adventure is brought to you by the phrase: "existential dread"

i do not remember the plot of scum villain because i read it in 2020 and it feels like a fever dream now so my characterization is entirely based off of the fanon on my dash.

hualian are my favorite but i do feel that bingqiu deserve the win. tgcf is VERY yuri, but svsss has gender as a main theme and both characters keep getting compared to maidens. overall there are more explicit references to women regarding bingqiu.

[piromantic]

its like. it seems a little silly to me when people can fully recognize methods of queerbaiting in bbc sherlock or whatever but when it comes to the gacha game space its either like 'wow, i can't believe they didn't realize that they were making this kind of gay!' or 'wow, i can't believe Evil Asian Censorship prevented these characters from being queer!' or like maybe the game was produced by people who made intentional creative decisions aimed towards making people spend money. just like how all mainstream media works. sorry

the vampyre by 18th century author john polidori is a self insert vampiric yuri

ok fucking hear me out on this one.

general thesis: lord byron (you might know him as the guy who wrote don juan), infamous for being a queer little hedonistic slut, pioneered gothic romantic horror by permanently changing the brain chemistry of one mary shelly + john william polidori. part one of two.

so the story starts off when byron and his doctor (polidori) fucked off to some mansion for the summer. shelly (~19 at the time)? + her husband (percy shelly, also rlly prolific poet) was convinced by one of byron's fangirls to chase him there, and somehow ended up living at the mansion. they did cocaine and drank and probably fucked in that lovely summer house, but MOST IMPORTANTLY they wrote. a lot. they were all authors/poets to some extent, they ended up swapping ideas and bouncing criticism and basically doing the 1800s equivalent of livejamming on discord. this went on for a few weeks or so.

one fateful night, all these fuckers got locked into the mansion because of a huuuuuuuge storm that took place, and naturally byron started telling them horror stories (The Burial: A Fragment, probably) that he made up on the spot. this scared the living shit out of his audience, and byron gleefully challenged them to come up with a story just as good. polidori attempted, proceeded to get humiliated live in front of the other authors by byron, and years later, out of spite, wrote:

THE VAMPYRE, one of the very first written vampire novels.

byron's influence in this novel cannot be understated. as aforementioned, byron thought polidori couldnt write to save his life, and polidori therefore had this weird idolizing love/hate relationship with him. the vampyre was, in essence, a giant "fuck you" to his old employer that he too could write a good book—even if, at the same time, he took parts of the burial from earlier to write it. in fact, the villain of vampyre is simultaneously 1) modeled after byron 2) a ruthless heartless sadistic vampire who ends up killing several perfect young girls and eventually the main protagonist 3) the world's first vampiric sexyman.

that's right. polidor's lord ruthven (who is, again, a lord byron insert) is the quintessential the reason why we perceive vampires today as suave queer homoerotic womanizing charismatic GAYS. this gets even funnier when you realize that in vampire, the protagonist (this young rich adventerous "i want to travel the world!" twink named aubrey) & ruthven have this yuri-esque homoerotic relationship involving death and murder and betrayal. see:

aubrey is enchanted by ruthven at first sight and capriciously requests to join his travels (to which ruthven AGREES);

aubrey notes over and over how horrible of a person ruthven is but only leaves once he realizes he's a vampire;

aubrey runs from ruthven across countries and cities only to have ruthven magically show up + kill off one of aubrey's love interests;

ruthven dramatically dies in his arms at one point and makes aubrey promise he'll follow these super specific instructions post-death, to which AUBREY agrees (swears an oath);

later ruthven comes back (duh) and tries to marry aubrey's sister—aubrey attempts to tell everyone but ruthven reminds him of the oath;

aubrey has a nervous breakdown and ends up dying while ruthven marries his sister, sucks her blood, and flees to the night.

gay. gay gay homoerotic gay you CANNOT tell me the vampyre was anything but a queer real person self-insert fiction about him and lord byron. polidori wrote the world's first self-insert about him and the man he was a DOCTOR to and performed PHYSICAL CHECKUPS ON.... C'MON GUYS YOU SEE WHAT I'M SEEING RIGHT. I'M NOT GOING INSANE RIGHT. FUCK

skk nation is so crazy because those two homos will be literally killing each other and everyones like “hear me out this scene is actually a reference to their previous partnership and demonstrates the intimacy of their relationship” BITCH HE JUST SHOT HIM

[pebbledrat]

it may be the sleep deprivation but... annabel/jasper.. this too is yuri

[eponychium]

the way you go from tawny man's Repression Olympics: World Series I'm Not Gay Edition to Rain Wilds, with its literal six fully homosexual named characters, is crazy. such a jarring whiplash. you'll remember the shit that those two did (and didn't) do with each other back in tawny man and you're like "????????? what the fuck was wrong with those guys actually"
