>>4510086Sounds really cool, anon. Gonna try to read it some time this week.
>>4473208How the heck is the Avatar book relevant? No way they made Kyoshi a lesbian.
>>4510351>No way they made Kyoshi a lesbianYou're right, they threw that in the chart as a goof. Definitely not the fiercely independent Avatar who trained a whole woman-only society of warriors.She's not gay, but her girlfriend is.
>>4510369Literally all we knew about her in the show is that she was a murderous maniac with a no nonsense attitude. If you think a woman-only society should mean that everyone in there is gay, then why the fuck were all of them het in the show and wanted Sokka's dick?What I am saying is there was no actual reason to believe she is gay. If the book did that, then it's something that they could have never done back then. The Korra era could barely scrape by with Korrasami in the final episode.>threw that in the chart as a goofFrankly I have no idea who makes these and I have seen too many anons here spread works that have either only subtext or have some minor lesbian side-couple in them, neither of which I consider worth recommending a book over.
>>4510373>If you think a woman-only society should mean that everyone in there is gayI didn't say that, just implied that being a lesbian would fit neatly into that. You don't seem very – how do I put this politey? – good at... imagining things?

Link fics you like, your own stuff, it's all good as long as it's yuri.
>>4509676>already read itFuck
>>4509688They just want to stack identity terms. Lots of NB idiots are like "I dont want to be called a woman, but treat me like a woman and call me a lesbian anyway". Their retardation isnt consistent. They just want the attention and feel special for not "conforming" to gender norms. Never realizing that they are just contributing to rigid gender roles by pretending that all the traits that they don't agree with are inherently female, so they pretend they are not women. Fuck 'em.
>>4509778Yeah I try to be open-minded, but it's almost funny how being so mindlessly inclusive has made them accidentally imply that NBs are really just women after all. Oops. They can't have it both ways, not for lack of trying.
>>4509588I'm curious to see what the HP fanfic landscape looks like once we're in the later years of the HBO show. Like I'm also curious if we'll see a resurgence of Buffy fics from the new spinoff or if Netflix Avatar's second season will reinvigorate Tyzula, since the first season already did a bunch of new extra setup for Azula being more tragic and a victim of circumstance and Book 2+ is where she gets a lot more screen time.

Previous >>4494377Thread for yuri discussion of:>Genshin Impact>Honkai Impact 3rd>Honkai Star Rail>Guns GirlZ>Zenless Zone Zeroand other applicable miHoYo/Hoyoverse games
>>4510358ZZZ definitely started off with a different flavor before pivoting to what it is today.So Astra being patient zero makes sense.
>>4510319>We had Astra, Ellen, Jane Doe, and Miyabi teased as well.At least those had personalities and lives that didnt just obsess over the proxie
>>4510319The Alice thing is so weird since outside that one scene in the resort event, they dont tease she has a thing for phaeton and 99% of her interactions are with Yuzuha
>>4510356Caesar was always het, yes, but at least it's part of her character since she's obsessed with shoujo romance manga, thus making sense that she would act differently around Wise than Belle. Even with Astra's Wise-focused trailer you could say that she always liked both siblings equally (contra Vivian who is specifically only obsessed with the primary Proxy). Astra taking Wise out one time didn't invalidate Belle being the main character otherwise.In contrast, the the latest YSG trailer shows flashbacks to the in-game date event and only shows Wise, which creates an issue since it's been pretty well established that the trailers are canon (off the top of my head both the Astra and Wise and Yixuan vs. Miyabi trailers were specifically referenced in game as having occurred). These trailers break precedent since they cannot be canon for both Proxies, all just to shill a character that was going to sell anyway.
>tech "otakus" save the worldi just wish they didn't treat belle like an obvious afterthought
The Old Live Action Thread is Archived, long live the Live Action Thread.Japanese Yuri, Thai GLs (or Thai yuri, watchamacallit), Western Despair and everything between.Please stick to media/series/films and don't discuss shipping irl people here, fellow ThaiGL neesans, this is not the place.Pluribus ep.5 dropped earlier due to an amerifestivus. Go watch it.Old Thread: >>4470313
>>4510157>>4510160I'll chime in one last time since we're getting off-topic. In our/western, more straight(lol)forward mind that's still lesbian. Two same sex/cisgendered girls in a relationship is still homosexual. It doesn't matter if they're both feminine "lipstick lesbians" or if they're masc/futch/butch/femme combo or two tomboys - that's just a subgenre of the same media lol. Just because you see people here mostly posting lipstick lesbo shows doesn't mean you can't bring uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHLvdCgV2xMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLNRUMcZuwIt's still very much relevant to this general
>>4510174You see, i think the boomers that would hate that kind of storyline just don't watch globo anymore and from what i see on the internet most people commenting about it are youngerI guess the hack that runs Globo finally realized that they're not getting views from conservatives so they stopped catering to them, so we finally have a lesbian couple that acts like any other het couple would in these type of shows, with 0 men between them and none of their scenes was censored so far
>the drought is so bad that we are now livejournaling on the thread.
>>4510179>pic>writen and directed by Poy PannaresFor whenever this gets released I thought I'd probably skip it because I don't care about tomboys but after Petrichor and Player I like this director's work a lot so I'll give it a chance.The woman who played Mind in Love Design will also act in this one.
>>4510151>Sometimes you just can't apply western ideals to cultures other than your own.Of course you can. Western ideals and values are universal truth. Only third-world morons invoke le cultural relativism to LARP as an exotic I'm-not-like-other-girls pick-mes.
Cosplayers being hella gay.Been a while since the last one: >>3937233
>>4507205>>4507213>>4507215This is a very good start and were looking for a legit ones not fakes. The winning couple might get some cash for this but were taking time to add more till end of the week. I will start the voting on Dec 29th and to announce the winners on Jan 1st.
>>4180733any more on this?
>>4504788More from them
Heads up everyone the 1st ever Y/u/ri cosplay and best /u/ cosplay couple will happen around Jan 1st. Were still looking for anons to add more cosplay couples into the mix. The dates might be changing soon if we don't have enough nominations set, still make those additions soon.

>>4510109I'm not pointing out where to find it, I'm pointing out when the chapter was released. Literally fuck this. Pointless trolling like this is precisely why this board is rightfully dead.
>Helpless Saint and Powerless PrincessOh no,they are already going to discover they are powerless and helpless from an Elven curse? Is the story ending? Is it not selling well?
>>4510353Does literally any story progression make you fear the axe?
>>4510361>Marriage ArcYeah few stories proceed after all. Even the Lord of the Ring got axed after marriage arc.

>>4510269Definitely Altcest. Also, DCU Supergirl would totally try to bang her alternate universe self.
>>4510270I remember the episode and how cringe it was. (Superpowered) Aliens as a allegory for opppressed LGBT complete with a not-gay bar.So...you sure you want to bully someone who can incinerate you with a single breath?
>>4510269it's a weird one. It's technically altcest, but from a meta perspective the dark haired one was clearly meant to be a female clark kent at some point(hair, story relevance, outfit, theme), but they changed their minds during production(probably due to fear of backlash) and made her into karathus like powergirl, she is technically an alt version of supergirl, but so far removed from her version it might as well be a different person

>>4509964Hard to disagree. I'm a Villhaze truther myself.
>>4509966Vill is fine and you could say the same about any of the harem girls. It's just annoying that nothing ever goes too explicit. Even the marriage is more of a formality than a full on romance.And no, I don't mean that it's vague if the girls are in love with Komari. That part is 100% textual. But Komari herself is such an indecisive, self-denying wet blanket. Even her bislut mom who ended up marrying a man scored with the Empress at least.
anyone know what happened to manawatch? their site seems to be down for quite a while now.
>>4510226>Komari herself is such an indecisive, self-denying wet blanketShe *is* a harem protagonist.
>>4510254There are layers to that role. Some harem protags are more decisive, admit their feelings for their love interests or at least bang them. Japanese hetslop is where the wet blanket self-insert protag plague has forever destroyed harems as a genre. But the rare cases of yuri harems have most consistently been more rewarding with protags who eventually will reciprocate openly to all the love interests. The more emotional aspect of yuri as opposed to the exclusively lust driven narratives of hetshit facilitates those developments too. Not to mention that most yuri harems have a proper protagonist and not a pathetic self-insert.Komari is by nature supposed to be an anti-social shut-in so it makes sense for her to suck at expressing her feelings... for maybe 6 volumes, but after that we really need some progress. I will be damned if she ever initiates a kiss on her own, but she could at least admit she has romantic or sexual interest in her girls.
You know the drill: share your story ideas, from the simple to the complex, the pure to the lurid, all about that wonderful thing called yuri!
>>4509457i literally said AI didnt work lol. so instead i wrote my own shit, like u were suggesting. so why would u bother with that reply?
>>4509566You only said you made the """AI""" do it and then just fixed and added to it. That sounds like the generative software did most of the work.
>>4509537>complete lack of arguments or acknowledgement of what was said>deflectionsYeah I could tell you were a troll right away. Glad I didnt waste time pretending your bait was real lol
>>4509433I do both. But I still prefer my own stuff. Generally speaking, I concede that AI does better than me at writing sex scenes and comedy because mine is that bad.
>>4510276Then stop writing and stop using generative software and just read other people's works. Clearly your standards are below human.

Yes, they are dating in the story like it is a yuri VN.Yes, they kiss a lot and the seiyuus make chuu sounds.Yes, there are other explicitly gay girls in the franchise too.
>>4509033>Phase 3, the best phase.Which one was that? Can I assume the way they split the chapters in the main story also corresponds to the phases?
>>4509100Yeah the chapter and the year and things they are trying to push roughly correspond to each other with some overlaps, delays etcUniChØrd become the 3rd "protaginist" unit after Happy Around and Lyrical Lily, and Michiru becomes the app icon for a whole year.
What is this I hear of a self insert?

>>4509672Nasu said there's gonna be some stuff on the 31st.
>>4509682New game that's not built on spaghetti code? If any game needs a Exilium or Endfield level sequel it's FGO but I'm guessing small indie studio Typemoon doesn't have the resources for that.
>>4509692You're not getting a sequel. But I feel like they're gonna do something with the fact that there's actually a single character that can remember what happens after the reset. Plus, Mash isn't NP5 yet.
