Oh, man, it's been awhile...

Hi everybody. I'm not dead!! And I haven't given up on this blog.

See, I was hoping to get preliminaries done during March... but then I fell very ill. I am still very ill with no signs of getting better.

As of now I have no idea when I'll be able to continue the preliminaries. I might just make em without the usual format- my energy is almost nonexistent and I have a lot of things going on, such as college and a zine I was accepted to work on.

I will definitely get this going again before the year ends. Hmm... that doesn't sound very reassuring, does it?

Ah, well.

Thank you everyone for being patient!

No Poll Today

A friend of ours has been in a troubling situation for a while now and it's weighing on all of us. She's an intersex woman, and things have been only going further downhill.

She needs utrogestan (progesterone) to balance her hormone levels, but the NHS refuses to prescribe this for her due to her being intersex, while prescribing it for perisex women. Seeking to obtain this on the NHS has resulted in her being kicked off of her specialist clinic entirely. Her GP also continue to refuse prescribing for bridge prescriptions, to carry her through until she is in a better mental state and able to afford them properly. The fund has stayed stagnant at 0% for a very long while.

We could really use any help for her. Any donations to her at all would be appreciated.

#please help hers out!!! #i cant donate but if any of you can #please do #reblog

If Moonsisters was the Hanazuki ship, I'm their submitter! No worries if the image failed, don't stress yourself over it. I've had it happen for things I've ran in the past, and it's all fine if it's gotta be scrapped. focus on your own health and stuff first.

Thank you <3 I'm glad I didn't make anyone upset by needing to scrap them

Hopefully tumblr will allow the Yuri to flourish

Andy/Herta submitter here! no worries at all, this sounds like a major headache for you and i know what it's like to have technology fail on you like that. frankly it seems like you're pushing yourself really hard for this!! don't forget to take breaks or stop when you stop having fun, not just when you stop being able to keep up with it!!

in case they're the one that got deleted, i don't think i actually saved what i submitted on my end unfortunately, but they are the epitome of Toxic Sludge Yuri to me, so consider this a shout out to the webcomic Getting To Know Grace! it used to be available on Tapas, which is where i read it, but i think it has since been removed?? it's still available other places online though!

[content warnings for slavery and untraditional racism, severe acts of violence, arson, terminal illness, blackmail............ there's a Lot in this comic but if you have the stomach for it, I really loved it.]

Yeahh I remember the gist of the propaganda! It sounded interesting, might read it at some point. Thank you for submitting, sorry my technology chose violence <//3

(And ty, I've been doing my best to take breaks when needed and focus on my college courses and other things <3 I'm just wanting to finally get this started lol)

Tumblr won't let me add two specific images for a poll AND the Google form deleted one of the submissions that I need for preliminaries. This is very frustrating so I am. Just simply Not Doing That. Sorry, Andrew Grace/Herta and Moonsisters. I have a headache I am not stressing myself out

Toxic Sludge Yuri - The Locked Tomb Tiebreaker Preliminary: Tridentaricest Vs Harrianthe

[Vote for whichever ship you like more. The ship with the most votes will join Griddlehark in the Bracket.]

[Credit for image 1(Tridentaricest): @dmsr-art ]

Propaganda under the cut. Note: spoilers for these medias may be below.

Tridentaricest propaganda

"The twins Coronabeth and Ianthe Tridentarius are incredibly codependent. In the second book, Ianthe cries every night because it's the first time she's ever been away from Coronabeth. In the first book, Coronabeth cries because Ianthe won't kill and eat her. In the third book, a character who's incredibly good at reading body language sees them together and assumes they're in a romantic relationship. Shortly after that Coronabeth threatens to kill herself in front of Ianthe and tells her that it's not like all the other times she's attempted suicide in front of her, this time Ianthe won't be able to save her life. Their whole life is built on a secret shared only by the two of them and their cavalier (a sworn bodyguard), and that's created this undercurrent of resentment and envy between them. "

"oh my undead god, these women are Fucked Up!!! 23 years without ever sleeping in separate rooms? Ianthe faking that Coronabeth is a necromancer like her for decades? Probably sculpting Coronabeth's entire body into its voluptuous shape with necromancy? Coronabeth is distraught that Ianthe won't devour her to become stronger. These women need to be quarantined for everyone else's sake. Oh, fun fact, they were originally named Abella and Cainabeth, so they're toxic to the marrow."

Harrianthe propaganda

"So Harrow is debatably in love with two women, neither of which are Ianthe. As of when these two start interacting more, both of the other women are dead (or close enough, this is a series about necromancy). Ianthe has spent her whole life being second behind her much hotter twin sister, but their relationship is a whole different can of worms. So when Harrow, grieving one of those deaths, asks Ianthe to lobotomise her, Ianthe does it willingly, enthusiastically even. The first thing Harrow does after becoming lucid is kiss Ianthe with tongue (to check what's going on in her mouth, but Ianthe doesn't know that). Then she shuns Ianthe’s repeated advances, telling her that her heart is within the locked tomb (she’s talking about the corpse in there but Ianthe doesn’t know that), until we reach the closest thing the series has to a sex scene, where Harrow finds Ianthe trying to cut off one of her arms (a replacement for one that got torn off), so she straddles her, cuts it off properly, and grows her a new one out of just bones. Ianthe has it gilded. Also Harrow shaves her head regularly because of the bone cult she grew up in, and Ianthe messes with her follicles while she’s asleep to make her hair grow faster. Just for fun. So that’s another thing that makes Harrow question herself more during the time post-lobotomy. At one point the corpse of a woman she killed is under her bed and Ianthe keeps saying she doesn’t see anything. Harrow is also pretty much the first person to pay attention to Ianthe instead of her much hotter twin sister, but that’s a whole separate thing."

So, what now? Captain's Pick, or "Gee Ianthe! How come the pollrunner lets you have two girlfriends"?

I'm free today, so I'll be getting more prelims done and we'll have a tiebreaker poll between the two! I personally know next to nothing about the series, so I don't think I'm qualified to pick. So, stay tuned for a tiebreaker!

Toxic Sludge Yuri - The Locked Tomb Preliminaries: Pyrrha Dve x Commander Wake Vs Griddlehark Vs Tridentaricest Vs Harrianthe Vs Gideon Nav x Cytherea Loveday

[Vote for whichever ship you like more. The two ships with more votes will move onto the bracket.]

[Credit for image 3 (Tridentaricest): @dmsr-art

Credit for image 5 (Gideon x Cytherea): @gafellique ]

Propaganda under cut. Note: spoilers for these medias may be below.

Pyrrha Dve x Commander Awake propaganda

"They were high ranking officers on the opposite sides of a millennia long war, but that didn't stop them loving each other, and loving each other didn't stop them from continuing to try to kill each other. Both these women are dead, long before the start of the books. In fact, Pyrrha's the one who killed Wake, kicking her out an airlock with her newborn baby. Their spirits took control of two other bodies (one of which was a corpse) so they could have sex, before Wake tricked Pyrrha into an incinerator so she could burn her and the guy she was possessing alive. On meeting Wake's now grown daughter, who she'd kicked out the airlock, the first thing Pyrrha said was "Anyone who spaded your mum would brag about it.""

Griddlehark propaganda

"As the only two children on their planet, one the colony’s scapegoat and one it’s golden child, they’ve simultaneously hated and needed each other all their lives. Gideon blames herself for the death of Harrow’s parents. Harrow uses Gideon as the “whipping girl” of all her frustrations and trauma and smothering responsibilities. Gideon makes dozens of attempts to escape and Harrow could just let her go, but instead goes to incredible lengths to keep Gideon at her side, even while claiming she “doesn’t even remember about her half the time.” Gideon hates Harrow with the fire of a thousand suns, and yet when they end up in a high-pressure situation, on another planet surrounded by strangers, her loyalty to Harrow is absolute. They slowly come to trust and rely on each other. In spite (or because) of everything, they are desperate for each other’s attention and approval—and once they actually GET that from each other, once they’ve earned each other’s secrets and forgiveness, they’re all in. Each completely willing to destroy themselves for the other, in the most beautiful and unhealthy way possible."

"The entire series is driven by their fucked up codependent relationship. They've almost killed each other fighting multiple times. The book series starts with Gideon, Harrow's indentured servant, trying to flee and Harrow setting up a skeleton-based trap to keep her from leaving. However, beneath their hostility, there's a deep sense of guilt and self-loathing, both blame themselves for the entire situation, with Gideon specifically thinking that as a small child she was responsible for Harrow's parents committing suicide. And beneath that, they're attracted to each other. I will avoid spoilers, but after they reconcile and swear themselves to each other, they both try to do things for each other's sake in a way that deeply hurts the other one. I don't want to spoil anything, but cannibalism, brain surgery, and a love quadrangle with the ghost of a Barbie doll and a woman who's half Vriska and half Draco Malfoy are involved."

Tridentaricest propaganda

"The twins Coronabeth and Ianthe Tridentarius are incredibly codependent. In the second book, Ianthe cries every night because it's the first time she's ever been away from Coronabeth. In the first book, Coronabeth cries because Ianthe won't kill and eat her. In the third book, a character who's incredibly good at reading body language sees them together and assumes they're in a romantic relationship. Shortly after that Coronabeth threatens to kill herself in front of Ianthe and tells her that it's not like all the other times she's attempted suicide in front of her, this time Ianthe won't be able to save her life. Their whole life is built on a secret shared only by the two of them and their cavalier (a sworn bodyguard), and that's created this undercurrent of resentment and envy between them. "

"oh my undead god, these women are Fucked Up!!! 23 years without ever sleeping in separate rooms? Ianthe faking that Coronabeth is a necromancer like her for decades?

Harrow is also pretty much the first person to pay attention to Ianthe instead of her much hotter twin sister, but that’s a whole separate thing."

Gideon x Cytherea propaganda

"On the one hand, you have a young woman who's starved for affection and attention who's never been away from home before, on the other, a much older woman who's catfishing her. They spend hours together in the garden, Cytherea reading a book or talking to Gideon, and Gideon staring with big puppy dog eyes from behind her aviators. Cytherea spends a lot of time telling Gideon how she deserves so much better, and she does truly care about her, but that doesn't stop her from doing horribly traumatic things like yrnivat n qrnq obql naq gur jbeqf "FJRRG QERNZF" jevggra va oybbq arkg gb n fyrrcvat Tvqrba. There's a reason why Palamedes, Gideon's pal, notes “Unlike some of us, I’ve never much seen the allure of an evil cougar.”"

[Vote for whichever ship you like more. The ship with more votes will move on to the bracket.]

Propaganda under cut. Note: spoilers for these medias may be below.

Tacomic propaganda

"tacomic is the most toxic sludge yuri i've ever known, as well as the most controversial ship in the show's history. taco manipulated microphone constantly just for her own gain, only sometimes caring for microphone's comfort. she forced microphone to sabotage and nearly kill several of her friends and teammates, and only chose microphone because she knew how insecure and submissive she was. despite all of taco's red flags (being a known cheater/saboteur and being hated by the rest of the show's cast,) microphone agreed to work with her anyway. over time, taco would force microphone to do more and more risky and devious things to give her the chance to win, and microphone just followed along with every command. they even started to like each other and form a meaningful relationship; whether it was platonic or romantic is anyone's guess. after microphone's brother-not-brother convinced her to dump taco, she did just that, dropping out of the show as well. without microphone, taco was back to being poor, homeless, and friendless, which Fucked Her Up Severely™."

Ishmael propaganda

"To lead lost souls ri their doom is bad enough, to lodge yourself into the heart and mind of the only escapee is even worse. Even far apart she's still her mermaid, enraptured."

They love each other, can't communicate, and are so very codependent."

did anyone happen to submit shironaga?? shirogane tsumugi x yonaga angie from daganronpa v3. i considered submitting them but they aren't really Toxic Sludge in canon (they don't have an extensively elaborated relationship in canon besides (spoilers) tsumugi putting angie in a death game and then angie indoctrinating tsumugi into her cult; so you can see what I'm working with!! but still not a lot of canon Interactions you know), so it's only in my very specific fanfic setup, but then yesterday i rambled for like 5 paragraphs to a friend about how fucked up their relationship would be in that circumstance and now I'm kind of kicking myself for deciding not to submit them...

Nope, there were no submissions for em. We do have a Tsumugi ship in the tournament though!!!

Feel free to submit Shironaga to the Toxic Sludge couple tourney I'm holding after this one :>

Love Edeleth but it has nothing to do in this tournament, Fire Emblem Three Houses has much better contender for toxic yuri like Rhea x Edelgard

I haven't played Fire Emblem and the submitter didn't submit any propaganda (just sent a simple "no") so I figured it'd be best to leave it to the public

I don't want to disqualify it when I know nothing about the ship, so I'll just see how preliminaries go? Idk lol
