Character: Yuri Katsuki

Appears in: Yuri!!! on Ice

Seen As: Gay

But Really: While Yuri’s sexuality is never outright stated in the show, he ends up in a romantic relationship with a man and is implied to have a crush on a female character.

This female character is his childhood friend. In a flashback to when they were kids, he is shown blushing while she encourages his skating career’s future with typical anime sparkly eyes* (I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s seen in many anime romantic and emotional moments), says she’s “still pretty/cute” when they meet again as adults, performs a romantic figure skating routine for her eyes only (subtext closure for his feelings, since she’s now married with kids), and the official website describes her as “the woman of Yuri’s dreams.”

The fandom often denies his bisexuality because it’s never explicitly stated he had a crush on her or that his performance is meant to be closure of his feelings. They claim his comment about her being pretty/cute, the official website’s statement, and the blushing + anime eyes doesn’t make him bi and anyone who says they do is being heteronormative. They also cite a non-canon game that takes the characters out of character and sexualizes them as evidence of his homosexuality, mainly because of the line, “I can’t feel eros [love] for a girl, in fact, it’s better that I don’t!” - despite the fact the game is non-canon to the show and meant to sexualize the relationships between the male characters. The fandom is very hostile to the idea of Yuri being bisexual or having had feelings for his childhood friend in canon.

Thank you to the anon who submitted this.

It's funny that when Kodaka tweeted about Shuichi being bisexual everyone screamed for joy, but when he tweeted about Komaeda being totally cool with going out with girls, everyone went blind.

Straight up OVA or fic idea: Shinichi wakes up seemingly in his old body, and is overjoyed. But things aren't right, and not in the same way as "he simply never found a full cure and grew up as Conan."

He goes around, and no one treats him as if he's ever been away. There's no sign of the Detective Boys. No one else has ever been living in the Kudo house, either.

No one brings up Edogawa Conan.

At first he thinks it's because they don't connect them, or something. But that doesn't make sense.

Murders left unsolved. Ran still waiting for him to have the guts to admit his feelings. Superficial relationships, because he'd still been so caught up in his own head that he'd not taken others seriously.

Some people, he still knows - Hattori's number is still in his phone, but when he calls the other detective, he's far more belligerent than Shinichi expected... because Shinichi had been the one to be just as invested in their "rivalry."

Others are nowhere to be seen. He asks around for if anyone's heard of some called Haibara Ai, or a girl of that description, but no one does. Nothing comes back.

There's something on the news about Kaitou Kid being wanted for several murders - and Shinichi knows that if Kid's wanted, then the real killers went free. He wonders what the thief is doing now, and if the next trap he gets himself into will be the one that gets him dead.

This... he realises that he's seeing what would have been if Conan had never existed - if he'd never been turned into a kid for his hubris.

As much as he's always hated that kid, he made Shinichi grow up, made him form relationships that meant something, allowed him to help under the radar.

If this was an OVA, I'd say that's where he wakes up. If it's a fic? He'd then have to figure out what to do next, who to trust with what's happening to him, and who'd believe him.

I find it so sad how if a rape victim ended up in the hospital desperately in need of a blood transfusion because he rapist had stabbed her, she wouldn't be able to use her right to life to compel the rapist to donate a single drop of blood to save her life. However if she ended up pregnant she would suddenly have the obligation to use her body as life support for her rapist's fetus. Like how does that even make sense?

all I'm saying is that if pro-lifers were actually about protecting children's lives...they'd also demand that the father serves as an obligatory blood and organ donor later.

#abortion #not to mention blood donation is way less dangerous than pregnancy #rape

“Dragon” is such a vague category of creature with such a ridiculous diversity of bauplans. It doesn’t matter how big it is or how many legs it has or whether it has wings or not: you can call it a dragon if it is kind of snakey, and/or breathes fire (virtually anything that can breathe fire has the potential to qualify as a dragon).

Case in point, look at all these different things that are dragons:

It's that time of year again where Mari Lwyd starts to be talked about and shared around and an INCREDIBLY misleading post gets shared a lot. As someone who grew up with Mari Lwyd I wanted to clear some things up.

Also hello, if you are unaware who Mari Lwyd is. This is about the Welsh tradition of the horse skull who visits houses during the Christmas to New Years period in Wales asking for alcohol.

First off and probably the most important one:

Mari Lwyd is not a cryptid!

I can not emphasise this enough. She. Is. Not. A. Cryptid. There is no story or mystery about a ghost or zombie horse roaming the Welsh valleys. She's not even supposed to be a ghost or a zombie. It's just a horse skull on a stick with a guy under a sheet. She's a hobbyhorse and a folk character used to tell Welsh stories and keep songs alive. When people spread the misinformation that she's a cryptid, it's the equivalent of saying Kermit the Frog is a cryptid.

She is actually only one character in a wider cast of characters who go door to door or, in more modern times, pub to pub. The cast of characters can change town to town and village to village but there are some common ones I see time and time again. The Leader, the Merryman, The Jester and The Lady are just some I see regularly. Punch and Judy used to be more popular a few years ago but I haven't seen them in a while as their tradition has mostly fallen out of popularity. In most cases, almost the whole cast will be played by men. Even the characters are considered and referred to as female. Though this again depends and varies by which group is partaking in the Mari Lwyd tradition.

This point also goes onto my second point,

Mari Lwyd does not rap.

I think this comes from a very common misunderstanding of what rap is vs spoken word. Rap is a very specific style of music originating from the African American communities of the USA and has it's own structure and motifs unique to it. It's a lot more complex than people give it credit for as a style of music and just flippantly assign anything similar to it as being rap. If someone is talking fast or reciting poetry, it is not rap. Or anything that is an exchange of words between two people is not a rap battle. Mari Lwyd does not do rap, actually something that gets left out of these posts is the fact Mari Lwyd does not even speak. It's actually the Leader, who does all the speaking and song based banter between the house/pub owner for entry. Mari Lwyd just clicks her mouth, bites people and bobs her head around.

I think Mari Lwyd is a really beautiful and unique part of Welsh culture. She's not actually as wildly celebrated as a lot of the posts make her out to be. Actually, I think most Welsh people themselves learn about Mari Lwyd through the internet as well. Her popularity is increasing thanks to the drive of local groups wanting to keep the traditions alive and a renewed desire to document Welsh traditions before they're gone. Which is why it's such a shame that she's turned into something she's not to earn horror points on the internet. I think this is why it bothers me so much to see the misunderstandings of the culture and the folk tradition. Mari Lwyd's origin is very hot debated as well as how long it's been going on for. But I think it's thanks to a lot of traditions like this that the Welsh language and our stories weren't lost forever. Welsh culture is recovering as is the language. But it's still in a very fragile place. I think it's why it's important to document and correct information when it's spread.

Anyway, if you want to see the tradition in action, here's a lovely video from the Cwmafan RFC going to one of the pubs for charity. It includes the song exchange with the pub owner for entry and the whole pub singing and joining in once Mari Lwyd and the rest are inside.

As well with another video from St Fagan's showcasing the more traditional and door to door form with the larger cast.

Coming across Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai fanart on pinterest makes me wish I understood what they're saying

Asian fandoms seem so much more chill..

#asian fandoms #fandom

[sleepieweather]

About a year ago, I noticed that Vietnamese and Thai media seems to start becoming more popular and I remember that while I was happy for them, they’ll probably face the same fate that Japanese/Chinese (I don’t interact with Korean media as much so not sure about the climate in fandoms there) media that have become popular in the west has faced. 1 year later, a Vietnamese author had to explain why this ship is not incest. Of course it has to be the is-this ship-incest discourse. I saw this coming several miles away.

KAISHIN OPINION: COUSINS REVEAL?

Since I haven't watch the movie yet, I can neither confirm nor deny the whole cousins spoiler thing. Whether or not its true, 20+ years is a long ass time and I've ignored canon before so this won't stop me.

If they truly are cousins in the movie and it ends up being canon in the manga too? Then fuck it. It won't be my canon. Especially when Aoyama is also the one planning to make Toichi alive after literally putting Kaito through horrific trauma of witnessing his father's murder and mourning him

No. Just NO

I respect that its his manga and his characters, and I as a fan, I am only borrowing his creations. But even so, as a fan, I have the right to chose what I wish to do with whatever happens in canon in my FANWORKS

Either I acknowledge that they're cousins and continue shipping them (I'm asian so the whole cousins being lovers thing isnt anything new in my culture nor is it a crime in my country...or a number of asian or southeast asian countries if I'm not mistaken. Granted, it doesn't usually happen simply because people tend to fall for friends or colleagues but cousins marrying dont raise any eyebrows here)

Or I ignore canon entirely and they stay unrelated in any way

However, if those who followed me for my kaishin content then dont worry, I'll still post anything of kaishin that comes to mind

Most likely, I'll ignore them being cousins if it ends up canon. Because honestly? There's a lot of things in canon I dont agree with so ignoring them as cousins won't be the first thing I've ignored or changed in canon. In that same vein, I'll ignore Toichi being alive too because while something like that is usually something to rejoice in any other situation or story, the whole thing is unnecessarily cruel and borderline an inhumane thing to do towards your own child. In my opinion, Toichi should not be written in such a way so for my fanworks, he will not be

To those who want him alive, thats okay. Go ahead but I will not acknowledge that canon

Also, for those who are uncomfortable at the possible canon cousins reveal then thats more than okay. You are free to unfollow or block me or any kaishin posts

So....yeah, I'll ship kaishin whatever the outcome is because in the end, the characters and manga are FICTIONAL so I can change, acknowledge or ignore canon as I wish

_____________

Anyways, thanks for reading this far. Also, here! This is my twitter side-account for all things DCMK & KaiShin moonlit_death because I'm a petty couch potato and will NEVER stop shipping KaiShin dammit!

#kaishin #dcmk #kuroba kaito #kuroba toichi #kudo shinichi #meitantei conan #magic kaito #case closed #detective conan #honestly i only watch this show for the characters #i've stopped caring about canon since a long time ago #i've ignored many canon facts #and i'll gladly do it again #kaishin shippers stay strong #this ship is just way too powerful #nothing can stop it now

[sleepieweather]

oh gosh is this another situation where the author is befuddled by the popular gay ship and try to make them incompatible (i will not stop btw)

To be fair, it is highly possible he always intended for them to be cousins because they do look similar however he just waited waaaaay too long and let the anime/movie writers get away with a lot of ship bait as well that the reveal has caused all these problems.

Personally I think he's also trying to draw people away from the ship so they'll ship his intended romance and also excuse his same-face syndrome with Shinichi and Kaito. Is he going to make Aoko and Ran related even though they look the same in canon? No, he probably won't, because they're not a ship that has overtaken his intended ships in fanon.

I think the reveal is dumb personally, even if it was always intended. It's too late and it just falls flat writing wise.
