"In a rare show of obedience, Victor was not on his way to the airport to wait for Yuuri’s flight to arrive. In fact, it took so much out of him to not do exactly that, that he had not trusted himself to leave Yakov’s apartment for the entire five-day period of Yuuri’s trip. He did not trust himself in any vehicle or in public at all because he felt in the marrow of his bones that something was wrong, and he was being a fool for not doing anything about it."

Cherry Magic has graced anime fans with the first gay marriage in anime history. That coming from a country where same-sex marriage is still quite some lightyears away from becoming legal, is huge. The first spirtually recognised same-sex marriage in Japan dates back to 2016. Although society has becoming more accepting over the past few years and queer activists keep fighting for equal rights, queer people in Japan are still being discriminated (this Wikipedia article on LGBT rights in Japan is quite comprehensive about the legal situation). If you want to know what that's like, read Ryousuke Nanasaki's honest and down-to-earth biography Until I Meed My Husband--he's an LGBTQ+ activist and the lucky guy who, together with his partner, made history as the first gay couple getting married at a shrine.

At present, Japan is the only G7 nation that neither recognises same-sex marriage nor has a law to protect queer minorities. As of 2023, the current ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), regards homosexuality as a disorder and claims it can be healed with spiritual practices and therapy, and that same-sex unions should be discouraged because they destroy the traditional image of family and society.

Please let that sink in for a moment.

But then I see people (mostly on the bird site, I think) screaming "But my favourite gay anime should have been the first to have a gay marriage!!! LOOK WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US!!1!!111!!!1"™

Embarrassingly, most of these people are from my own fandom. And I'm seriously wondering whether these people are okay if this is all they care about.

YOI was very progressive for the time it was made in (it aired in the same year Ryousuke Nanasaki married his partner in a shrine). But when you start digging and read the interviews with the creators and put them into context with the reactions from Japanese anime fans, the reality of queers living there, and the obstacles the director had to overcome to make her vision reality, you can't unsee that YOI was too progressive for it's time.

Sometimes I wonder if growing up in a country that has estabilshed marriage equality years ago, makes people blind to overlook the systematic queerphobia queer people face in countries with a still mostly conservative collective mindset, even more so as seeing a country through the lens of fiction doesn't give a realistic picture of its society and the struggles its marginalised groups face (especially when these struggles aren't portrayed realistically in those works). And this is such a weird ironic since the queer stories we love with all our heart because they paint a the picture of a queer utopia are born from this society.

Progress isn't a linear process and it doesn't happen overnight. Two steps forward can mean one step back. If you push too far before society is ready for it, brace yourself for the backlash. No groundbreaking achievement has the power to tear down the walls of conservative stubbornness, it rather antagonises the people who have the means to thwart you.

If you struggle with accepting this, if you think that your selfish desire to get more of your favourite anime is more important than queer rights, if you are convinced that some animation studio owes you and make it the fulcrum of your very existence, I ask you politely and in all seriousness to please go touch some grass, educate yourself, and come back when you've found the plot again.

Disclaimer: I'm not a Japanese citizen and I don't live in Japan. I gathered these information from people living there (expats and natives), the Japan Times, Wikipedia, translations of interviews with the YOI staff, and my own research.

Wanted to wait until I actually watched the show before saying anything but @ villain fuckers: Homelander? Seriously??

Jungkook is a grown ass man doing grown ass things. He’s not wholesome all the time, and hell, he doesn’t need to be.

Stop treating him like a grade schooler. If you don’t like his new style, stop pigeonholing him and go listen to someone else.

im not even surprised at the yoi news but its so disappointing

[cecebeanie]

Hello everyone! This is my gift for @yurionice-secretsanta for @puddlesontherocks!

Yuuri works, as he does every year, at his family's stall at the local Christmas market. When Victor, the guy from the nearby stall, "falls" for him, his winter becomes a lot warmer, and sweeter than ever.

It's my Christmas market au, it came to my mind all of a sudden and I knew I had to bring it to life! My main goal was to make it as fluffy and cozy as I could, and I really hope I managed to do that.

In case anyone reads it, thank you so much🩷

Otabek’s footsteps come closer, then come to a halt. He’s wearing mismatched socks, one white and one black. Despite his sullen mood, Yuri suppresses a smile.

“Stand up.”

“No.”

“Very well, then,”

Otabek says, grabbing Yuri under the armpits and hoisting him up to face him as if holding Link after he’s done something stupid.

“What do you think you’re doing, asshole?”

“Making sure you’re eating.”

“I already told you you’re not my babysitter!”

“You leave me no choice.” Otabek heads for the kitchen, cradling Yuri in his arms. Yuri attempts to throw punches, but his fingers are still trapped in the splint. Eventually, he gives up, letting his chin rest against Otabek’s shoulder, next to the scar snaking across his scalp.

Can you rank your HR characters on a scale of 'reads 2 books a week for fun' to 'barely even did the compulsory reading for school exams'?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES, OF COURSE. I'm taking this quite literally so this ranking has nothing to do with their actual intelligence but it's still telling of something :'DDD

Reads 2 books a week for fun: Yuuri K., Fujiwara, Chris, Seung-gil, Lilia, Robin (there's loads of graphic novels on their reading list), Cao Bin (sometimes me depending on the book).

Works on only the one book for an entire year and feels super triumphant when they finally finish it: Celestino, Kenza (also me)

Listens to audio books on 2x speed whenever a friend recommends a book to them but never actually seeks out books for themselves, and never opens a physical one because their over-active brain won't allow them to: Phichit, Felix

Reads the Cliffnotes' summary online and says they "read" the book: Also Phichit lol, Yakov, Axle,

Barely even did the compulsory reading for school exams: Victor, Yuri P., Mila, Pyre, Laszlo

To the people saying "cary sounds aged as shang" no shit dumbness. He's up there in age himself. But that's not a bad thing. He still can act. He still can use his voice.

Also shang canonly turns old so wtf are people talking about?

Why are y'all so against a canon old character being old?!

People are so obsessed with youth it disgusts me.

As I've gotten older,I've realized people have become more n more shallow.

Let shang tsung age gdi!!!!

He canonly fluctuates with that. So of course him sounding gruff. Honestly that adds to his charm. Y'all are just cowards.

God i hate that person who said that.

Cary hiroyuki tagawa IS FUCKING SHANG TSUNG. and no shade to alan lee. But people are right,he is just imitating cary at this point. Intentionally or not,the script is garbage and honestly is an insult to the character and both amazing actors.

If you wanted cary hiroyuki tagawa's shang so bad. Rehire him. And if he didn't take it because the script was shit. Guess what yoy gotta do?! REWRITE THE SCRIPT!

But nrs/wb is lazy. And it definitely shows now. They are on the verge of bankruptcy and they are doing risky experimentation crap with their game. Not a good time to do it when 90% of your fanbase is either leaving or already left. And telling you that your game is garbage.

But regardless. That's an insult to say cary is too old to play a character he practically perfected and made honestly better. But also A CHARACTER THAT CANONLY SWITCHES BETWEEN OLD MAN AND HIS REJUVENATED YOUNG FORM. like ffs do we even play the same game bro?!!!

Shang tsung is better as old man shang imho. But that's for another time.

So to that person who said cary is too old for shang. Fuck you for that backhanded comment about mr.tagawa.

Alan lee is great btw im not shitting on him. Im shitting on the fans for trying to butter him up by tearing down a legend.

Alan is good but he's not tagawa. He even said so himself in interviews.

Alan lee can't be a good successor because he's not in a good place or had enough time to genuinely show for that. And honestly nobody i think will. Not because they can't. It's because nobody's fucking cary hiroyuki tagawa. Cary hiroyuki tagawa is cary hiroyuki tagawa. Cary also had a presence for shang tsung that can't be truly copied. Not saying other iterations are good. They are. It's just cary is the de facto shang tsung. Others make a good shang,but that man IS SHANG TSUNG. done. Nuff said. Period. No buts.

Sorry for the rant. But i hate people trying to tear down others to fake uplift another.

Chapters: 15/16

[Completed, published every Friday/Saturday]

At the mountain’s peak, Yuri removes his helmet, shaking his head to free his hair from its tangles. Otabek lends a hand, running his fingers through the unruly strands.

Yuri brushes against the sun-shaped tattoo on Otabek’s index finger with his own. “I get why you were so eager to show me this place,” Yuri remarks. The steep slopes offer a mesmerizing view of the valleys below. A serene silence reigns, interrupted only by the rustling of snowflakes played on by the wind.

“These mountains and valleys were my playground when I was a kid. I’m glad I can share these spots with you.”

“I grew up between concrete walls and inside ice rinks. You and I are worlds apart.”

“Does that bother you?”

“No, not really. It’s just... I sometimes wonder why you choose to stick by me. I’m not the easiest person to be around, and I’ve got plenty of flaws.”
