hihihi! i ADORE your sphinx betty art! since you said she has lore, is it okay if you share some of it? i'd really really love to know about her coz shes soooo cool.

HEHEHE TYYY SMMM :DDDDD ive been looking for an excuse to ramble abt this for AGES >:3

.. cw for kinda unhealthy yuri

so her whole deal is that shes an imprint of bettys excess magic that split off from golbetty when she went all glowy or whatever was happening in the FAC finale. in this sense shes a schrodinger's betty, whether or not she really is the original betty depends on whichever answer is funniest in the moment (though she does consider herself her own separate pereon, just with bettys memories and everything. kinda like fern.)

shes like BALLS deep in the loomy gloom but is def more outwardly collected than magic man and magic betty were. her hobbies make it very apparent though, as she dedicates most of her time to pranking simon with classics such as "shapeshifting into your dead wife just to tell you that shes dead and not coming back." she likes him in the way a cat likes its favorite mouse toy,, its very obsessive and unhealthy because shes literally a manifestation of bettys mms when it was at its peak. god forbid women get silly with it..

#sorry every yuri ship i touch turns slightly obsessive and unbalanced. there is something wrong with me #sphinx betty looks cute and fluffy but she will not hesitate to psychologically torture you #sorry if this disappoints anyone...? i get really nervous when i push my toxic yuri agenda sorry.. dont look at me aaahhh... #boss makes a dollar i make a dime thats why i answer asks on company time #sphinx betty

they (furi & arle) could relate so much because of the curse, the love for their people (and in arle's case her children as well) which is kept under wraps as well as a possible feeling of loneliness (i dont know about arle but it's possible because of her friend from when she was younger and the fact that she's the sole survivor or something like that)

arlecchino inviting furina on a casual platonic kind of date (furina wants to deny but also she's scared of what'll happen if she denies lol) but it turns out to be a very nice experience for them both, and furina returns home that evening confused but also with slightly lighter spirits when it comes to the harbinger

this begins a small cycle - every so often, arle would stop by (not too often at all because she's busy - furina's glad about that, because while she's warming up to arle she'd still be a bit overwhelmed with too much of her presence) they'd begin warming up to each other, and eventually furi can call arle something akin to a friend (she still gets a bit spooked or startled when arle, for example, raises an arm or something but it's good progress nonetheless!!)

idk i just like them :) Everyone's like "toxic yuri pog" and while you're RIGHT. Toxic yuri pog. May we also consider: two cursed mfs being cursed together and understanding one another

Raises my hand. I'd like to build on this with conditional arlenavifuri.

Navia has closer relations to Arlecchino through business - the Hearth and Spina have been in close cahoots on similar goals for awhile, after all, and while Navia knows better to fully let her guard down around a Harbinger, she does have a level of trust in Arlecchino - at the very least, she believes that they both want the best for Fontaine.

She knows Furina wants that too. Furina and Navia have a relationship based far more in trust post-story, so I truly believe setting the scene with all three of them sharing the room diffuses the tension a bit.

I feel like this polycule is a bit more of a situationship than anything - at this point in her life, I doubt Arlecchino would let herself be truly vulnerable around anyone, but she can be more candid and soft around these two after a time, a relationship forged on mutual, deep respect rather than trust.

A betrayal is always anticipated. They're all prepared for it, and with candor, they're prepared to respect it at least - even if they have to stand against each other again. For now, they'll enjoy the good times together.

I would like to inform you that I, unfortunately, decided to abandon my Wallpaper and toxic yuri agenda and I shall no longer draw not write about them. I decided that for better flow of the story and for sake of better character development, both og and fake Mel are going to be straight from now on. However, I can't pick which of the Mels to ship with Daniel, another straight king with absolutely no gay tendencies. Can you guys help? 🥺

We’ll finally have the first scene between Rhaenyra and Mysaria, the superior toxic yuri, maybe we will finally be free of Rhaenicent.

I gotta step up and spread the realm’s misery agenda, Mysaria actually manipulated Rhaenyra into hating Daemon because she wanted Rhaenyra for herself (GRRM told me so).

I buy that before buying Rhaenicent.

Oh my God I just read all of your asui stuff and even though I never considered this ship before I love it?? Like whenever I watch eva I genuinely don't think about the romantic lives of any of the characters because the themes of loneliness and low self worth speak to me more, but now that I've considered how toxic they can be my brain is on fire??? AAAAHH I CAN FEEL A NEW HYPERFIXATION HELP

AAAAHHH ALL ACCORDING TO PLANNN MWAHAHAHA

I’m so glad my toxic yuri agenda makes sense to ppl tho, it’s actually so fun once u get into it & the possibilities are endless T_T !!

I love ships in media but often times the the characters’ personal arcs are thrown aside to make room for romantic narratives, which makes sense but it still kinda sucks and it can feel a bit OOC at times. Thats why I like asurei so much, because they’re so fundamentally intertwined that you can’t NOT consider it. Since the ship itself is based strongly on their chara development throughout the show, it ends up feeling very real too! Also if you ever wanna do fluff, nge’s whole alt timeline thing is crazy convenient LOL

All in all, asurei 1 - kawoshin 0 . Thank u .

#hook line n sinker #I gotta recruit y’all to wage war against the kawoshin army #it’s an uphill battle but i believe in us #joking aside stuff like this makes me so happy 🥹 #thank yewwww #they’re literally a match made in Heaven #ask

Me with my Enid and ciaro agenda: toxic yuri

[yomiurinikei]

*appears* random question but whats your favorite ship? If ya dont ship anyone then uh yeah you dont have to answer but i like hearing peoples ships 😌👍

…ah, so you’re new here. anon. do the words “lucky pen” mean anything to u. ??

back in my day… searching up that tag brought forth a plentiful bounty of numerous users creating so many types of content………. ah… the good old days….

i honestly think i just. messed with peoples brains to get them to like the ship. but yeah it used to be vv big on sdra tumb, a solid amount of all posts were lucky pen for a good few months. i miss that. i miss lucky pen 💔….. (i still also enjoy maeyomi as a ship name tho-)

uhhhm. past what was my whole brand for many months (im p sure my blog title was still “lucky pen ceo” up until i switched my theme to my holiday one), i like many ships!

i like tsuhara and tsuhiko and yamarugi, and i like otohiko and tsuruya, and im still trying to feed the hatanami agenda, i like reikako and makitomo, and ayakane,,, i don’t have many ships for sdra2 i don’t think- OH i like hashimuri and my dear dear dearest who im not sure? if he’d like to be @‘ed? is a yuri/yuuki/nikei/syobai enjoyer and i support that agenda!!! i believe it!!

p much. i don’t tend to ship m/f ships, i just don’t really find myself latching onto them, but like… the only ships im Uncomfortable with are things which are like. toxic! which ofc includes. pr0sh1p stuff. yea.

lucky pen supremacy tho

#ALSO all of this was /pos including the stuff at the start it’s just so funny #i very clearly recall starting to advocate for lucky pen. i FOUGHT for those boys!! from the start to the peak of their popularity #and now the stories are lost to time… #u youngins need to learn ur history! #jk jk aksjdjdj

I've read that article about the romanticization of the Darkling and while I absolutely understand people who are pissed off/sad and I agree that it's shitty, I find LB's attitude towards Darkles stans very funny in a "girl what are you doing" sort of way because it's so petty like I've never heard of a bestselling author writing a portion of their fans into their books as a crazy cult before, it clearly hit a nerve

I'm new to the fandom but the feeling I get is she wrote something problematic ten years ago and became very embarrassed about it afterwards so she turned on the fans that liked it as a way to absolve herself. Especially since fandoms in general have become a lot more focused on discussion of what constitutes healthy/acceptable relationships to write about. And in a way I get it I had a huge Twilight phase in high school and afterwards I was super embarassed about it because of how problematic and cringe it was. But now with distance and more maturity I'm able to both still see why it was problematic and also why I was drawn to it (mostly the very unhinged representation of female desire) and like...it's really not the end of the world and no it never made me believe that breaking into somebody's room at night to watch them sleep was actually ok in real life lmao. This feels so obvious to me but apparently it needs to be said.

(More under the break this is turning into an essay, I've been thinking of this a lot recently)

And of course it's good to have these discussions about how historically romance tropes have echoed social dynamics of men's shitty behavior being romanticized and excused. But these days they often are so simplistic and focused on chasing clout that they become this weird new puritanism and moral panic about oh now women are reading novels it's going to make them hysterical or something

So you have these weird assumptions that you can't like a character and also be critical of their actions, or enjoy certain parts of a character and not others, or wish they were written differently and like them more for their potential (which I'm sure stings a bit for an author lol) - it assumes that if you like a character it means you would approve of their actions in real life, or that people just stupidly reproduce whatever they see on TV. That tendency to treat fictional characters like real people is the thing that actually worries me, to be honest, because it indicates a lack of distance and critical capacities regarding how stories are used and received. But people - fans and authors - are so scared of being called out as problematic and harassed for it that they're going to shy away from any nuance.

And yeah I think that it's good that standards of what constitutes an ideal relationship are evolving and becoming more feminist and communicative and all that and we definitely need more of that. But not all fiction has to be aspirational! Sometimes you just want to read about fucked up shit, because it's cathartic or fascinating, even healing at times because with fiction you are absolutely in control and can choose when to close the book. Toxic relationships in fiction can have an appeal specifically because they go to extremes of feeling that we don't want to go to in reality, in exactly the same way as horror movies or very violent action movies - which I don't see a lot of people besides fundamentalist Christians argue that they turn you into violent psychopaths (and that feels very obviously sexist). And for women, who are often taught growing up that love is the purpose of life, the "saving someone with your ability to love" can be a power fantasy in the same way that being a buff superhero who saves the day with their capacity for incredible violence can be a power fantasy for men. Still doesn't mean those women are going to fall in love with actual murderers or that those men are going to start beating up people at night. And love is scary, and weird, and weirdly close to horror at times, with all the potential for loss of self and being vulnerable and overwhelming feelings and potential for being horribly hurt and it should be possible for stories to explore that without anybody screaming about how this is going to Corrupt the Youth or something

And I mean I get it LB wanted to write a cautionary tale for teenagers, but it just did not work for reasons a lot of people have already written about - the fact that the Darkling is the leader of an oppressed minority and is the only one with a real political agenda to end that oppression in the first trilogy, the fact that he helps Alina come into her own power while her endgame LI is someone she keeps herself small for, that she's shamed for wanting power after growing up without any, a generally very wonky conception of privilege, and a lot of other stuff with yucky regressive implications to the point where stanning the villain actually feels liberating and empowering which is a surefire sign that the narrative is broken (unless it's a villain focused story lmao). But of course that Fanside article makes almost no mention of the political dynamics, it's all about interpersonal stuff which is an annoying trend in YA, there are those massive events happening in the background but it's made all about the feelings of the hero(ine) ; war as a self-development quest (which is kind of gross). Helnik is kind of an example of this too - I like them, I think they're fun ! But Matthias spends a big part of the story wanting to brutally murder Nina and her kind, and he mostly changes his mind because he finds her hot. Like you don't feel there is some sort of big revelation that his entire moral system and political framework is completely rotten ; it's all better because of feelings now.

As a teenager that kind of sanctimonious bullshit would have annoyed the hell out of me ; I read those books in my early twenties and I found the ending so stupid I wouldn't have trusted any message or life lessons coming from them. And I liked reading/watching dark stuff as a teenager, as a way to deal with the very intense inner turmoil I was dealing with - and I turned out fine ! Meanwhile I've seen several times women in very shitty relationships being obsessed with positive energies and stories ; they were so terrified of their life not being perfectly wholesome they ended up being delusional about their own situations.

Like personally I think the Darkling is a compelling, interesting, alluring character and also a manipulative, murderous piece of shit and that Alina should get to punish him (like in a sexy way) - but he's also the end result of centuries of war, oppression and trauma and reducing that to "toxic wounded boy" feels kind of offensive ngl ESPECIALLY since the books don't offer any kind of systemic analysis or response to oppression beyond "the bad guy should die" and "now the king/queen is a good guy our problems are solved!!!!"

In Lives of the Saints, we see how Yuri is abused extremely badly and almost killed by his father, and so when his father dies when the Fold swallows Novokribirsk, he thinks the Starless Saint has saved him. Later in KoS/RoW he's turned into this fanatic who explains away all the Darkling's crimes. The other followers talk about how the Starless Saint will bring equality for all men. Then the Darkling comes back and actually thinks his followers are pathetic, which feels again like a very pointed message to his IRL stans. Which is absolutely hilarious to me. Like oh no, if he was real he would not like you and think you're pathetic ! Yeah ...but he's not. Real. Damn right he would not like the fics where Alina puts him on a leash. I'm still going to read them. What is he going to do about it, jump out of the page ? Jfjfjjdhfgfjfj

Anyway I think the intended message is "assholes will use noble political causes for their own gain and to manipulate people" and "being abused/oppressed is not an excuse to behave badly." Which. Sure. But that's kind of like...a tired take, honestly ? A big number of villains nowadays are like this ; either they've been bullied as kids, or they're part of an oppressed group, or they have "good ideals but too extreme". This is not surprising because a lot of mainstream heroic narratives present clinging to the status quo as Good and change as chaotic and dangerous. And like sure in real life people often do bad shit because they're wounded and in danger. But if you want to do a story like that, you have to do it with nuance, talk about cycles of violence, about how society creates vulnerable people to be exploited, about how privilege gives you more choices and the luxury of morals, etc. The Grishaverse does not have this level of nuance (maybe in SoC a little bit but definitely not in TGT). So it kind of comes off as "trauma makes you evil" and "egalitarianism is dangerous" and "if you're abused/oppressed you're not allowed to fight back". And ignores the fact that historically, evil generally comes from unchecked privilege.

I guess my point is that there are many things I like about LB's writing, she knows how to create these really exciting character dynamics, and the world she has created is fascinating. But these stories are not a great starting point for imparting moral lessons. And her best characters tend to be, at least in canon, the morally grey ones. I hope one day she'll be at peace with the fact that she wrote the Darkling the way she did and leave his fans alone but in the meantime I'm just not going to take this whole thing seriously I'm sorry
