Yesterday I ended up spending too much time creating this diagram in order to describe yuri, and now I feel a need to actually go in and explain the description.For the purposes of this diagram, Yuri is described as some level of relationship between two girls (This will be explained why girls here is in part inaccurate) that is deeper in some form then their relationship is with others too a degree that it is an important aspect of the narrative, characters, and/or framing of the story in such a way that it can be construed as having a romantic or similar tone to it either in an overt or an implied manner. Similar tone here can be used to describe things such as rivalries, sexual attraction, pure lust, hatred, basically anything that is in some way an intense emotional relationship between the two. In this case, two characters who are friends may be excluded from being considered Yuri because they do not have an intense emotional bond in the relationship, because it is secondary to their relationship with other characters (In terms of emotional depth usually, narrative importance has never stopped yuri shipping or yuri bait from being applied), or because the friendship is largely unimportant in it's role for the story or the characters. Other reasons are possible but are often less used.

Now it's time for a definition of terms, I will try to use specific examples of relationships when discussing these, and as such it will contain spoilers. I will make an attempt to give proper warning but if Tumblr has a way of spoiler text I don't know what it is so expect spoilers to be forewarned but not hidden.

Starting off we have 'Pure Yuri,' I'll be using Sakura trick as an example later on so if you don't want to be spoiled for it (Not that I'm sure that you can really be spoiled about it). Pure Yuri is yuri that is emblematic of the common image of yuri from the mid to late 2010s online or in general culture that would be aware of such. Pure Yuri tends to be Yuri where both characters are aware that they have feelings for each other, and reciprocate them in a way that acknowledges both parties feelings, and in a way that has genuine affection involved. While it doesn't show a problem free existence, it's typically one in which issues that are a result of the relationship are quickly resolved and/or meaningless or alternatively ones in which they are primarily a result of others people not either of the people involved in said Yuri. Sakura Trick for instance, has the two main characters of it 'Yuu' and 'Haruka' engaging in a romantic relationship with each other through kissing and spending time with just the two of them as a solution to being split apart in class. The issues here are ones that are largely irrelevant, but they do serve as a framing for the focus which is on the relationship between Yuu and Haruka as well as how it's special compared to their other relationships. This focus on the relationship, and it's focus on it as something that is uniquely pure is the cornerstone of a lot of pure yuri. This applies to many forms of Yuri in which the focus is on a lewd relationship as well, and even in these cases it is often times framed as something that is more pure then other forms of lewd behaviors and even sex. Some forms of pure yuri that are focused on lewd behaviors, Virgin's Empire for example doesn't show those involved in the lewd shenanigans afoot as inherently pure (Often times quite the opposite) however, there is still a focus on it being something that all parties are aware of the emotional investment of desire and lust between the parties involved, and being more then happy to engage with those feelings. Pure Yuri ends up being something that is primarily about the relationship between the two girls in a way that is in many ways celebratory of the relationship as well, and this ends up being what defines it. This doesn't mean that the two will end up together, in fact due to some japanese cultural beliefs about the relationships young girls should hold and ideas of tragedy, it is common in a lot of works for them to explicitly not end up together. This has been changing as more and more works come out where the girls do get together in the end.

My favorite part about the Debling plot was Penelope and Cressida doing the most over there top cat-fighting in order to win him over, not because they genuinely liked the guy, but because they wanted to escape their families and also lowkey just hate each other.

#the female experience that is… doing things out of spite #also if you ask me the actual love triangle this season is pen/eloise/cressida which I LOVE #toxic yuri let’s go!#don’t know why everyone was so salty abt debling bc me personally #i was enjoying the hell out penelope bulshitting her love of nature just to one-up cressida #and completely ignoring that colin was PINING right beside her #not out of cruelty she’s just that dumb <3 #all this time i thought pen was going after debling for petty reasons related to her mother #but turns out she was also going after debling for petty reasons related to cressida LOVE IT #penelope featherington #cressida cowper #lord debling #bridgerton #bridgerton spoilers #bridgerton season 3

Definitely want a second season of XO, Kitty if only for the ensuing hilarity that would come from the two most popular students in school fighting each other over the dorky American transplant who barely passed her classes.

#the show was cheesy and ridiculous but i had a great time #straightbaiting for the win #and a bisexual love triangle i can actually get behind #xo kitty #kitty song covey #kitty x yuri #kitty x min ho #genuinely having a hard time picking an OTP because i enjoy the hell out of both ships #the growth of all parties involved was genuinely engaging #sidenote: S2 should go all in on the gay and have Dae and Q rebound with each other

arlecchino x reader x furina dynamic except the reader is head over heels in love with a furina who is too busy girlfailing to notice. arlecchino tries to woo you with elaborate gifts and five star dinners and long-winded speeches about how she would fight armies and gods to feel your hand in hers, and you leave half-way through to help furina bc she wore those fucking stilettoes (that she knows she can't walk in) to the opera house again and is currently crying on the floor after falling down the approximate fuckton of stairs leading up to her private balcony. arlecchino has other reasons to hate furina but honestly it would not be a lie to say this was near the top of her list.

#maybe to balance out the love triangle furina has a fear-based crush on arlecchino #and no i have not watched the trailor #and until i do genshin will continue being my silly little yuri romcom #(i am delusional)#personal
