imagine having a dance with a hot, mysterious woman and in turn she makes you see imagery of yourself dead that shatters all beliefs you held about your own future and instills fear in your heart in ways you thought you had been saved from? that's yuri babey
using "jade likers" as an insult is so interesting. i don't like the devil in disguise slowly siphoning souls and worlds to feed a leviathan's unending hunger. i LOVE her. get it right
yeah sorry i'm still hung up on how robin and jade interacted in 2.3 i'm going to have to wrangle this out in a fic. you CAN'T put a devil/angel pairing in front of me and not expect me to bite!!!!
idk to me kafhime angst is PEAK. the friction between them, the antagonizing, the way their relationship is not a one and done but a constant re-negotiation process, back and forth, that's what is exciting about them.
kfhm week not allowing nsfw due to catering to minors is kinda... lol. as if we didn't build kfhm up brick by NSFW brick. i kinda had hoped to participate and finish some stuff but i guess not.
acheron texting black swan is like:
i showed you visions of me plucking each feather from your wings before peeling away everything that you are until you are nothing but a bleached skeleton, pls respond
ruan mei training pavlovian responses into jingliu... the sound of a flower stem being snipped gets jingliu unreasonably turned on after a while. watching ruan mei do flower arrangements becomes edging sessions.
do you guys remember on topaz release how all the talk about her was how Bad she was and now she's being turned into a poor widdle baby. i don't think they actually care at all about her and never have!
there's a certain trend in the fandom re: how once a female character has been Fanon Decided to be Masc, the way people talk about and conceptualize her starts veering into the same pattern: Big Dominant Muscle Woman Crush Me Hurt Me Rough Me Up
by the time jade actually drops jade likers are going to have to append each post with "btw IRL i do not condone capitalism, trading your soul for a blood contract OR evil corporate women!" aren't we
there's been so many good posts and threads about how wlw shipping and fics are so discarded, ignored, etc. but wow does it still sometimes hit so hard that so many people in fandom just don't care about wlw at all
เณโโท all this, and love too, will ruin us
[eimiko, 5.4k words, rated m]
a handful of fragments of love, ranging from first kiss to the loneliness of five hundred years looming.
"forcing myself to like mid yuri ships to support wlw fandom" you do know that is actually worse, right. like we can tell your care is half-assed and hollow. save yourself the pain no one cares about you martyring yourself for shipping jfc. touch grass
jingliu just wants to be a weapon! aeons forbid a woman wants to cease participating in the societal burdens heaved upon her and simply become a sword to cut the stars out of the sky!
inside of me are two headcanons:
1: ofc liubai had sex
2: jingliu is after 1700+ years still an untouched virgin bc she was so emotionally glaciated to be unable to cross that threshold with baiheng and not a day goes by where she doesn't get a little mara-struck over it
"is this fandom morally good enough. is this ship pure and healthy enough. is this character the right kind of morally greyโ" oh my god please learn to have fun for five minutes i spoke with all your followers and they agree you're so annoying in your Pure Morals Only era
i know lingsha has the potential for some toxic yuri. my beautiful simmering rage dragon princess. she should exhale some smoke into a woman's mouth. "breathe in this smoke. hold it. let it diffuse through your body. do you feel the effects?"
also toxic yuri is over considering you'll call a mildly mismatched couple toxic now. complex yuri is in. yes the women in my yuri are on vastly different life paths that may or may not require killing the other it's bc they are complex and interesting, not ""toxic""
hey, if you're going to plagiarize my fic, at least be subtle about it....
first screenshot is avepaz fic by clo_verr, and the second is from my kafhime fic posted last year.
life got in the way from finishing it in a timely manner but i was working on a personal essay on my history with writing yuri, my experiences, and what it means to me
doing some "send me a number and a ship and i'll write a kiss" on tumblr and here's EiMiko + desperately ๐ธ i miss them so much i wish i had an idea to write for them
contrary to popular fandom belief, a female character can have a vividly rich inner life full of nuance and depth, and also yearn to be fisted so deep and hard she's squirting through the mattress
went swimming in the sea for three hours and a topless woman came up to compliment my ability to handle rough waters for long periods of time. maybe life can be good
people expressed disappointment and then went and made a nsfw kafhime week as a response and yet ppl are whining in my mentions about how that's what we should do and stop trying to force nsfw into the fandom? i'm not even the organizer get out....
surprised no one has extrapolated The Vibe of ursula taking the mermaid's voice to jade and robin. take her voice and drive her insane with desire, possess her with thoughts of hearing her voice sing out in pleasure again...
what i admire the most about robin as a character is how she can wield this intense power, power they intended to harness to bring back an aeon (and if it had been her singing, would they have been successful? ena reborn in robin's voice...) and still, she chooses kindness.

i rarely if ever re-read my own fics but i'm doing it with the dew of dying stars rn and i'm like damn bitch who cooked this meal... can i get her number....
they're both grown women on different paths in life and with vastly different outlooks. neither is intending to back down from what they want to do. the friction keeps them in motion! their desires for each other ranging from troublesome to mutual obsession... chef's kiss
"everyone else is writing angst! everyone else is writing fluff!" and you? are you writing out of a genuine and authentic love and interest, or are you anxiously chasing the trends, hoping to make it big and first? are you chasing the current yuri ship of the month?
"this character is feminine bc skirt and this one is masculine bc pants" do you guys hear yourselves talk sometimes. do you. do you ever hear the 1950s gender roles that you reinforce on the most asinine shallow levels
while drafting i tend to leave myself notes as i go if i don't feel like expanding on a point in the moment to interrupt the flow. this one... sure was a note in there
there's much i could say (entire essays worth, frankly) about it as a masc lesbian but... you guys do know that top and bottom aren't personality traits, right? that you can be masc and soft, right? please tell me you know. pleas-
jingliu realizing ruan mei has a dacryphilia kink... or better yet: baiheng realizes ruan mei has it and wants to present jingliu perfectly for her.... is this anything....
one of my headcanons for jingliu is that she went mara-struck trying to send off baiheng in a funerary starskiff. that she couldn't handle the thought of not being in that starskiff alongside baiheng's body. that they couldn't die together.
wip folder b like:
โthreesome with bossy sub, prostate milking, and dom drop aftercare.
โtingyun.
โangel wing kink.
โfluffy liubai sweetness.
โa meditation on the nature of healing and cure while also being the nastiest smut i've written in a year.
because acheron and black swan are so unhinged in their own ways, any act of tenderness they commit (with/unto each other) becomes erotic and grotesque. romance in the eye of the storm.
it's hard to put into words how exciting the acheswan short is, how THAT is happening... acheswan real.... oh my god... i was dizzy and shaking then and i'm still trying to simply digest it all right now.
ruanliu ideas:
x. jingliu tasked with tracking down an unethical crazy scientist the xianzhou wants dead or alive. only she ends up being corrupted by ruan mei instead.
x. ruanliu hanahaki disease.
x. "cut one and the other one bleeds" trope exploration.
i do find it a bit fascinating just how stifling an environment the mhy fandom has become online to constantly belittle, undercut or silence any discussion about yuri.
it's happened before but already seeing feixiao spoken about as if she's a feral animal who will destroy people in bed is so fucking weird you guys lmao it just is a little much
what's on your Inevitable Jade Discourse bingo card? mine has "how are you guys all forgetting capitalism is bad???" and "anyone who likes her is complicit"
been in fandom for 20+ years and people still can't conceptualize much less accept that a character can and will have several loves thru their lives and all of them will be meaningful in some manner. just like in real life ๐คฏ
you don't have to like these types of dynamics but i kinda have to wonder why you are calling yourself a kfhm fan if you hate that tho.... domesticity and settling down is the death of himeko's soul. or is it only kafka you care about in this equation? much to think about.
i think we need, generally, to bring baiheng more often. and bring her back very wrong. pay for the sin of hubris. the monster is lucid and in pain and tormented and jingliu can't bring herself to kill baiheng.
spent all of last night thinking about navia being unhinged horny for gunplay and clorinde being overly concerned with the safety of it all (she'd still do it. she loves navia so much)
as for personal experience tying into being a masc lesbian... in recent years i've had a lot of self-professed bottom women sexualize and objectify me, quivering like leaves near me hoping i overpower them and have my way without knowing nor caring about me as a person.
rare peek behind the curtain of what i've been tapping away at (note: not including fics in progress on ao3) (and also that not all of these will see the light of day but that's a given)
where did interesting conflict go in fanfics. why is everyone getting along all the time with minimal friction. why did fear of exploring deeper themes manifest in my yuri ecosystem.
did you know the first black hole discovered was found in the cygnus (latin for swan) constellation. if one layers a swan over the constellation, the black hole would be roughly in the lower part of the swan's neck
