Yuri of Absence and The Chair of Yuri: Combining Lesbian Manga and Science Fiction - The Secret Garden
This article was originally written in 2021 as part of The Secret Garden, YuriMother's exclusive series of articles, available only for Patrons. If you want to access other articles and help support Yuri and LGBTQ+ content, subscribe to the YuriMother Patreon.
Tumblr media
In the “olden days” of Yuri, which is really to say anything in the ‘00s or earlier, there was not much variety in the mainstream Yuri market. If you wanted to read a manga about the romance between two women or watch an anime with clear lesbian elements, choices were between a sweet school story or a classic tragic school Yuri story. As I have mentioned many times recently, one of the most significant advancements in the recent Yuri genre is the advent of sub-genres. Once considered an element or subgenre itself, Yuri hosts various works from isekai to feminist literature. However, one of the most curious and certainly most well-known subgenres is science fiction.
Yuri science fiction is in the spotlight right now, with everything from visual novels like Synergia to webcomics like Ratana Satis’s Soul Drifters. However, one of the most prolific and rightly celebrated titles is Iori Miyazawa’s Otherside Picnic. The series began publishing under Hayakawa’s Bunko JA imprint in 2017, and over the past few years, it exploded onto the scene.  It has an upcoming sixth book, a manga adaptation serialized in Monthly Shounen Gangan, healthy overseas publishing, and of course, an anime adaptation helmed by Kase-san and Stiens;Gate director Takuya Sato. It has garnered praise from critics CBR, Anime News Network, and Erica Friedman of Okazu. I wrote glowing reviews for the first few books, complimenting its worldbuilding, pacing, and characters. However, Otherside Picnic did not spring out of anywhere. Indeed, it is the product of gradual shifts in Yuri and sci-fi storytelling and Miyazawa’s genius theories and knowledge of the genres.
Tumblr media
The mixture of Yuri and science fiction is not anything new; it predates most other forms of Yuri save Class S school romances. You may not picture many of these when you think of modern Yuri sci-fi, but as early as 1975, we had Yuri stories like Boku no Shotaiken that included small sci-fi elements, in this case, transferring the mind to another body. Over the next two decades or so, a time during which so few Yuri titles surfaced, it is occasionally referred to as Yuri’s “era of Darkness,” multiple titles sci-fi titles including Dirty Pair, Project A-Ko, Bubblegum Crisis, and Iczer featured science fiction settings and Yuri elements. At this time, Yuri was not much of a genre as we think of it today, but more of a factor inserted into a larger narrative. Think of Yayoi and Shion from Psycho-Pass for a more contemporary example. In fact, except for Iczer, none of these titles feature any outright lesbian characters, just female casts with “Yuri-ish” moments of women standing close together and being companions.
Tumblr media
These titles feature two key elements that many current series have shifted further away from, soft sci-fi and Weak Yuri. Soft, as opposed to hard science fiction, is the more established of these two scales. Science fiction can be separated between outlandish and impossible ideas, sometimes known as science fantasy, and those based in reality, research, and the hard sciences such as physics, astronomy, and mathematics. Sorting works between these two labels is, ironically, not an exact science, and fans and critics alike argue about their precise definitions. However, let us consider soft and hard science as a spectrum, with outlandish premises like Dragonball on the soft end and the reality-based concepts of Space Brothers at the other. One can sort most titles along this continuum. M Alan Kazlev does an excellent job dissecting this scale in further detail. Many of the titles we enjoy today, including Otherside Picnic, inhabit this transitory space, as it is not fantasy. Still, its reliance on anthropology and psychology’s soft sciences may put it a small step below more grounded hard sci-fi. Still, it is far above the aliens and superpowered robots in ‘80s anime, so we shall consider it hard sci-fi for the sake of this argument.
*Note: Many science fiction circles use the abbreviation sci-fi for soft science fiction and SF for hard science fiction. For ease of readability and common vernacular, this article uses “sci-fi” for both instances.*
Sci-fi Yuri did not break out of soft science fiction territory until very recently. In the 1990s, Yuri underwent dramatic changes thanks to Sailor Moon and Revolutionary Girl Utena, which helped reform it as a genre rather than a feature. Maria Watches Over Us revived S Yuri traditions, and new titles were set in schools and focused on modern girls’ lives. In the 2000s, Yuri magazines began serialization and featured stories such as Kisses, Sighs, and Cheery Blossom Pink and Strawberry Shake Sweet (both serialized under different names). Despite being primarily aimed at adult women, the magazine found success with male audiences, prompting new stories appealing to men and boys. These works reintroduced action and science fiction into the genre with pieces like Kannazuki no Miko: Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, Blue Drop, and Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (Yuriboke does a better job breaking all these down). However, all these were still vehemently in soft sci-fi territory, with Kashimashi’s only surreal element being an alien because the author was, to simplify grossly, unable to fathom the existence of transgender people (coming full circle from Boku no Shotaiken). Possibly the only contemporary mainstream hard sci-fi title to include Yuri and enjoy a modicum of success was Qualia The Purple. However, this series did not have the genre-defining power that later works would.
Tumblr media
However, what changes between these series and those mentioned earlier is the Yuri itself. The relationships become much more explicit and central to the plot. You can deliberate whether or not Bubblegum Crisis is sapphic, but just try sitting someone down and arguing that Kannazuki no Miko is not built around the crux of two women holding romantic interest in each other. Yuri science fiction author Gengen Kusano proposes a dichotomy similar to soft and hard sci-fi to analyze these titles, Weak and Strong Yuri. He explains it in his own brilliantly convoluted and philosophical way, but in short, Weak Yuri relies on using logic and the mind to make the real imaginary, while strong Yuri is about emotionalism and realism, making fiction into reality.
Strong Yuri is Yuri that focuses on realism through feelings and emotions. Kusano describes it as fiction characters having real emotions. They have strong connections and affection for each other that are real and powerful. The audience experiences the feelings between the characters as they are felt and portrayed. Think of how emotional the exclamations and love, sorrow, confusion, and affection are in titles like Bloom Into You and Citrus. In a sense, they can be so strong that they transcend their fictional confines and become real, as they are experienced by considers, a stage called “radically Strong Yuri.” Most explicit Yuri, which is not subtext or suggestive content but in-your-face lesbianism, is Strong Yuri, although not all Strong Yuri is outright depictions of lesbianism; it is a square rectangle situation, not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.
Tumblr media
Weak Yuri is cemented in the areas of thought, logic, and epistemology. It deals with the theory of mind, the ability to attribute mental states to others or ourselves. For example, when we see someone smiling or laughing, we may not feel their emotion ourselves, as we do not have direct access to their mind, but we recognize that they are happy. In Weak Yuri, one uses their theory of mind to observe facts and deduce the existence of a Yuri relationship, even if one is not present. So-called “Yuri-ish” titles like Yuru Camp or K-ON! do not outright state or depict romantic or sexual attractions, but is attributed by the viewers onto characters.  Said observer witnesses the interactions between girls and, using that factual and observable data, puzzles out a lesbian attraction they prescribe to the subjects, whether real. Shipping culture relies on Weak Yuri’s logic Kusano’s most extreme, “Radical Weak Yuri,” the relationships of real people, like idols, become imaginary through these projections.
Tumblr media
Blue Drop and Kashimashi may have been soft Sci-fi, but unlike the soft sci-fi, Weak Yuri series of the twentieth century, they featured Strong Yuri and placed it more as a central aspect of the work with other elements built around, rather than as a side element. The next revolution in sci-fi Yuri came when hard sci-fi titles began production. A few of the principal players here are Kusano himself, Otherside Picnic Creator Iori Miyazawa, and editor Rikimura Mizoguichi, all of whom feature in the viral Yuri Made Me Human interview of Miyazawa. Most of the theories and ideas discussed in this article, including Kusano’s Weak and Strong Yuri arguments, came from these seminars.
Tumblr media
It all started with Kusano’s existential widescreen Yuri baroque proletariat hard sci-fi Love Live AU fanfic of the popular ship NicoMaki, consisting of Nico Yazawa and Maki Nishikino. The revised edition of this story, Last and First Idol, was published in 2016 and became the first debut title to win the prestigious Seiun Award in 42 years. Satoshi Maejima’s post-script essay at the end of the Last and First Idol collection gives far more detail into these works’ history. However, Idol was the first prominent story to feature Yuri in a hard sci-fi narrative. It was not perfect. In fact, in its push to feature gruesome content and insane hard sci-fi that Yuri is pushed to the wayside during most of the story.
Tumblr media
*Author’s note: The first time I read Last and First Idol, I was completely unaware of its contents, which was a shocking experience; the story comes with a severe content warning).
Last and First Idol did not create a woven hard sci-fi, Strong Yuri narrative. However, it was a definite proof of the concept, a testament that the sprawling details and imagery of hard Sci-Fi could work with Yuri relationships. Kusano’s next short story, Evolution Girls, which would appear alongside Last and First Idol in the collection of the same name, saw the author focus more on emotionalism and create a Strong Yuri work. Nevertheless, Last and First Idol was a massive success. Future hard proof that Yuri hard sci-fi was coming in force came in December 2018, when Hayakawa Shobo ran a special edition of its long-running S-F Magazine featuring Yuri stories. The issue, planned by Rikimura Mizoguchi, proved so popular for the second time in its then 59-year history, the magazine had to reprint before release.
Tumblr media
While Kusano was developing theories on Yuri and Hayakawa Shobo worked to push the public eye onto Yuri sci-fi, author Iori Miyazawa was refining his own Yuri premises, ones that, though he did not know it at the time, would not only see Strong Yuri and Hard sci-fi standing side by side in the same story but would synthesis the two into a unique product that could attract new fans and expand the borders of science fiction and Yuri. The work in question, of course, is Otherside Picnic. This light novel series about girls journeying to another world to hunt creatures from occult internet lore is to date Yuri science fiction’s best execution.
Tumblr media
As Miyazawa admits, he strives to create Strong Yuri by focusing on emotionalism and realistic characters. However, such character-driven narratives are often at odds with hard science fiction, which requires dense walls of text to explain the complicated science behind its concepts and world. Miyazawa avoids this trap by utilizing Yuri tropes, specifically scenic Yuri and “Yuri of absence,” and integrating Yuri relationship into these explanatory literary lectures. Examining the latter first, rather than using narrative or exposition dialogue to unravel the intelligence behind the world or elements of science fiction, Miyazawa uses the relationship between Sorawo and Toriko.
In Otherside Picnic, explanations of the mysterious Otherside come primarily from two sources, dialogue and Sorawo’s inner monologue. When Sorawo and Torikko discuss a nuance of the paranormal creatures they investigate, it no longer becomes a large infodump but a Yuri scene about their relationship through their interactions and responses. According to both the strong Yuri theory and Yuri’s traditional definition, these emotions and discussions are the crux of the genre – stories about females’ relationships. Similar emotionalism fills Sorawo’s inner monologues, specifically in the frequent romantic admirations of Toriko. Thus, an explanation existing in that same space becomes Yuri, as it mirrors the same emotions and attraction. Merely by placing the usual exposition into interactions and relationships, Miyazawa was able to open hard science fiction to new readers, who may have been apprehensive before because of these text walls.
Tumblr media
Miyazawa’s other secret weapon is, as he describes it, “Yuri of absence.” Relying on the principles of Strong Yuri, that Yuri is fiction made real through emotions, Yuri of absence extends these parameters outside of characters. As Strong Yuri relies on feeling, not observable data like characters, anything that invokes two women’s feelings together is Yuri. It could be a song, or an empty bench, as one can imagine two women on it and feel emotions tied to that. Of course, taken to its extreme, nearly anything can then be Yuri, as I have joked before, gesturing to an empty chair proclaiming, “Behold, a Yuri!” However, Miyazawa uses this Yuri of absence sparingly, rendering it closer to scenic Yuri’s intimacy.
Scenic Yuri, a particular type of Yuri of absence, focuses exclusively on setting and imagery, a feature that works particularly well in science fiction as according to Masahiro Noda’s “sci-fi is all about images.” Traditional Yuri uses character interaction and supplements it with images and sights that help communicate characters’ emotions and intimacy, like fleeting shots or descriptions of the sky. Take the shot from Kase-san and Morning Girls where Yamada stands by the bus stop. The distance between the girls, the tree in the foreground on Yamada’s side, and the pole on the right all invoke emotion and help tell the girls’ story, distanced by their differences and upcoming life paths. Now remove the girls, the scene remains, as does its meaning and emotions, whether the characters are present or not.
Tumblr media
Scenic Yuri is employed vigorously in more male-targeted S Yuri (a minority of the Class S genre). Here, the imagery provides intimacy so that the voyeuristic viewer could look into the characters’ private and forbidden lives, specifically the girls in all-girls schools. Take the shot from Strawberry “Mo Man May Enter Here” Panic. The sweeping view of the Strawberry Dorms atop Astraea Hill, a place where men are forbidden, gives the consumer an exclusive inside look at the private home of its subjects. Otherside Picnic uses these same scenic Yuri principles in its descriptions. In this case, the intimacy does not come from a place where men are prohibited or a shot describing women’s relationships. Instead, the reports of abandoned ruins and deserted open fields where only Toriko and Sorawo exist provide extreme intimacy. It is an emotional view of two of the few women in this world with nothing but each other; thus, Yuri.
Tumblr media
Yuri science fiction is easily the most exciting place in the genre right now. Its creators are experimenting with new theories and storytelling methods to expand the boundaries of what science fiction or Yuri alone could never do. The subgenre has undoubtedly come a long way from its Weak Yuri roots and continues to grow. Industry leaders like Miyazawa and Mizoguichi will continue to push into this excited and uncharted territory, using tactics new and old to bring together Yuri’s emotional and romantic core with science fiction’s epic and provoking imagery. I have few doubts that we have seen all these pioneers have to offer and that Last and First Idol and Otherside Picnic are just the beginning.

More Ways for Hoid to be Tortured
[Includes a spoiler for Tress!]
Hoid has sure had it rough lately. He’s had his memories siphoned off, gotten cursed, even spent some quality time as a coatrack. As @kingjasnah points out in this post, Sanderson is setting a precedent here: we’re all expecting ever new and more hilarious shit to happen to Hoid.
So here are some ideas for ways that Hoid might suffer in future Cosmere books.
1. Trapped in a dimension full of talking bananas...who don’t care about stories
Hoid: And that was the story of the banana who looked up.
Banana 1: [yawning]
Banana 2: Sorry, did you say something? I was thinking about radishes.
Banana 3: I feel so neutral about everything you said!
Hoid: ...I may have found a place nearly as unpleasant as Komashi. 
Hoid: Nearly.
2. A new and ever weirder food craving every day.
Hoid: Well, it seems that today I can stomach nothing except mayonnaise-topped pickles.
Design: And you’re sure you’re not pregnant?
3. Trapped on a planet during a time of no plot relevance 
Design: Hey, will you look at that!
Design: According to the town newspaper, old lady Dennis FINALLY figured out who’s been eating her lettuce. 
Design: Get this--it was a rabbit!
Design: That’s something, right?
Hoid: W-Was it an invested rabbit?
Design: Nope! Just a normal one.
Hoid (sinking further into his turtleneck): I have GOT to get my Luck back.
4. Can only communicate via song...after losing his perfect pitch 
Hoid (singing): And thus you should learn, / that if I must, I will let this planet buuuuuuurn!
Design: Your pitch is off by a mere .0005%!
Hoid (singing): And it’s really not fair--this much is true, / that my perfect pitch, went straight to yooooou!
5. Turned into a rat
Rat-Hoid: The worst part is...it’s not even original.
6. De-Aged into a Child
Hoid: It’s not so bad, really.
Hoid: People perhaps don’t take me the most seriously, but then, I was the King’s Wit for a while so I’m used to that.
Hoid: ...I do hear the word “precocious” a lot. 
7. De-Aged into a Baby
Hoid: (furiously signing with his fat baby hands) What is this, an isekai?!
Design: Hmmm...I should start a babysitting business. 
8. Unable to respond to anyone unless his response rhymes
Design: I love it, to be orange.
Design: If I ever need some peace and quiet, I just end every sentence with “orange.” 
Hoid: Once again I must ask you to act a bit less like a poison-filled sporange. 
Design: It’s fun to watch him incorporate that word into all of his sentences!
9. Grows to the size of a mountain
Hoid: It’s not (ouch) that I mind (ouch) the mountain-climbing business that Design (ouch) is running.
Hoid: But the constant (ouch) pick-axes driving into my shins (ouch) does get a tad...distracting.
Hoid: (ouch)
10. Handcuffed to Kelsier, ala Light & L
Kelsier: [eyes gleaming]
Kelsier: And this time you can’t escape me, Drifter!
Hoid: Hey, is that a spike in your eye, or are you just happy to see me?
Kelsier: ...
Kelsier: T-That doesn’t even make any sense!
Hoid: ...This might actually be fun.

what really gets me about most isekais is that I’m supposed to expect the average teenage outcast nerd to be able to readily adjust to a life of constant violence so easily, because it’s JUST LIKE VIDEO GAMES no drifters did it right by making the main characters all unhinged warriors and killers

I was explaining to a friend Drifters(anime/manga) premise was: there is a side that want to save the isekai world using villains like Oda Nobunaga.
And the other group want to destroy humanity using martyrs like Rebecca Black (I was thinking about Joan D'Ark)

Hello!
I'm isekaiscreencaps! I post screencaps of isekai anime (sometimes, rarely, some non-isekai anime too...). You can call me "Kai" for short.
Isekai I am currently watching:
Kemono Michi: Rise Up
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
The Dungeon of Black Company
The Eminence in Shadow season 2
I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss
Current blog icon is Frieren, the main character of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.
Current blog header is a scene from episode 1 of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.
↓ More about me, my blog, and isekai anime! ↓
No, I do not "like isekai" or "enjoy watching it." I simply consume it every day of my life as if it were food or water.
Of course, I also watch non-isekai anime and read manga/manhua and light novels. If you want to know anything about that, feel free to ask. Send your recommendations my way!
I watch most of my anime on Anix and I keep track of it all on Anime-Planet. I use XnConvert to process screen captures. I try to keep up with seasonal anime, but I fall behind sometimes.
Isekai anime I have watched:
Am I Actually the Strongest?
Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest
Ascendance of a Bookworm ❤
By the Grace of the Gods
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill
Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Reborn as a Vending Machine
Reincarnated as a Sword
Re:ZERO: Starting Life in Another World
Saga of Tanya the Evil ❤
Skeleton Knight in Another World
So I'm a Spider, So What?
Sweet Reincarnation
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ❤
The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?
The Eminence in Shadow
The Faraway Paladin ❤
The Great Cleric
The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior
The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World
The Rising of the Shield Hero
The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent
The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat
+ about fifteen more that I started and left unfinished for various reasons...
I've also watched these reverse isekai anime too, I suppose:
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Re:Creators
The Devil is a Part-Timer!
Also, yes, I am an Isekai Quartet enjoyer.

Just finished New War and Angels of the Zariman, and well, the Drifter’s got me thinking about writing fics again. God, I really should write for any of my other fics, but instead I’ve got a thousand ideas about Warframe crossover fics and Tenno versions of characters.
First one I thought of was, unsurprisingly, a BNHA crossover. They’re way too easy to write. And besides, Deku without morals is one of my favourite types of him, and that’s pretty much what all Tenno are.
Now I’ve got thousands of other things to do, but instead I’m going to write out this dumbass idea here so I don’t forget it like I do most ideas I have. That’s pretty much the point of my Tumblr account - screaming random story plots into the void.
So you’ve got your usual crossover plot, some Isekai Void portal pulling Tenno!Izuku into the BNHA world alongside Excalibur Umbra, because Izuku deserves the best father. Cut off from the Lotus, Ordis, with nothing but Umbra and his weapons, he starts exploring the weird young forest devoid of several metre thick trees, and eventually comes across a city in the distance. At this point, alternate dimension/universe is already in his mind, since Ordis would be able to connect to him in the case of pretty much anything other than that.
Now comes the problem of the BNHA timeline. Not sure why I chose this universe in the first place, it’s not exactly the place where you can shove a murder-happy version of the main character without severe consequences. But I like writing that, so whatevs.
In any case, they get there during, hm, let’s say the Hosu Arc. While Izuku’s marvelling over the city and wondering where the hell he is that these weird cities that aren’t Grineer or Corpus, Umbra notices the Noumu. Points them out in the far distance, and then the two of them notice them beginning to wreak havoc. Deciding that that’s probably not normal, Izuku transferences (is that a word? what is it even called when the operator enters the frame?) into Umbra and the two go for the city to help.
Yada yada, an Excalibur would drop a Noumu in literal seconds, but the two are struck by there just being... normal humans. Just people, around the city. Just being dudes, ya know.
Except it’s not like those exist anymore in Warframe, right? Massive cities just don’t exist anymore - at least, ones not under Corpus or Grineer control. The only one is Cetus, and even that is fairly small. Unless the Eurasian Zone has actual cities, who knows. At least Relays and Factions - well, just New Loka and Red Veil - have a fair few humans.
So it’s fair to say Tenno Izuku would be slightly surprised by that. So would Umbra, tbh. Anyways, Izuku cuts up the poor Noumu into literal pieces, saving a few rando humans. Walking up to them after the Noumu’s dead, he examines them, still pretty confused while they’re scared. Leaves to go fight another Noumu before he can speak to them - there’s three or four in Hosu, right - and on the way, Izuku spots another fight in the alleys. Cause, yeah, gotta have him meet his alternate self ASAP. He jumps out of Umbra, sending him towards the Noumu as he goes towards the alley fight. Maybe he grabs Skiajati as he leaves, idk. Katana fights are cool, and I like cool.
So he saves Iida from Stain, beats him because, well, even without a Warframe he can go incorporeal and invisible, move incredibly fast, and probably knows how to do all the shit he can as a frame but just doesn’t have the physical capability to. Operators are weird yo. Like, they’re in majority control of the frames, you can see that in quests. They have to know on some level how to bullet jump and juggle knives. Anyways, beats Stain, though the noseless bastard probably has some stuff to spout about heroism beforehand. Now a Tenno would probably kill Stain, so he’s about to do that - maybe Skiajati, maybe Void blast - but Iida, still on the floor, is like, what the hell, Midoriya.
Izuku, who’s met his Drifter and is well aware of alternate universes, realizes. (Bear with me - i have zero fucking clue on how the Drifter came to be.) Ah fuck, is there another me running around? Leaves Iida and Stain just before Deku arrives and jumps back into Umbra, who’s fighting Endeavour far away. Noumu’s already dead, a shame, and Endeavour’s always looking for a fight, especially with a random silent murderous swordsman. Which would be hypocritical, since he pretty much killed the Noumu himself in canon, but eh, he’s an asshole.
Gran Torino’s also there, so Izu decides to get out of dodge and rethink his decisions against weird humans who can fly and make fire. He’s pretty sure that’s not normal. Umbra howls, and the pair skips town. Climbs up to survey the city, and decides that now that they’re for certain in a new universe, his main objective is returning to the Lotus and Ordis. But a little internal struggle - this new universe is interesting, and after fighting and winning two wars, maybe he’d like a little peace.
Flying Noumu suddenly steals Deku like normal, so he kills the thing. Grabs Deku, and is like, oh shit dat me.
Throws himself back to his friends and runs away. Nope, not dealing with that, not today.
And that’s all the concrete stuff I have. Other than that, just snippets of things that could happen to a Tenno Izuku in this world.
Deep talks about trauma - after all, this Izuku likely had to kill his own parents - conversations about the void and what decision made Deku - after all, One For All is kinda weird hmm - and just Tenno interacting with normal humans. Encounters with Wally would be fun - Toga as well. Other species, such as Sentients, also taking the plunge into some Isekai portal and entering this world could introduce much more chaos into the plot. And an alternate version of the normally heroic Deku suggesting murder as a response to mostly everything would be fun to explore, since most of the time it’s done from the perspective of an evil villain version, but this Izuku literally only knows that. Like, do the Tenno even see it as evil? It’s certainly justified in most cases, but there have been times where the Tenno just kill. Most people see them as cold-blooded mercenaries, after all. Keeping the balance of the Origin System is almost a secondary objective.
Other than that, I’ve had this Drifter idea for other things as well. Demon Slayer, maybe. Though, tbh, a single Warframe would destroy that world in hours. Star Wars. Would be a little more balanced than others. Just more ideas for crossovers that I like to scream out and that’ll never be written lol.
Instead of this weird thing, I should probably write the Warframe/Destiny thingy I’ve been cooking up. Or, y’know, one of my ten current fics. Yeah, should probably do that. Eh. Maybe one day. I’d like to write a Warframe fic at some point, though. Not nearly enough of them.
Oh, and if you have any good Warframe fic recommendations, please send them my way! I’ve read a bunch, but I really want to read some good crossovers.

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on…
~ I don't know about any particular fandom BUT it's criminals how slept on Drifters is when if probably one of the best Isekai anime/manga out their. No justifying slavery by being a 'good master', no boring ass bland protag, no typical harem bullshit, no basic ass Sword Art Online looking ass artstyle.
It's just a great read and watch.

Good morning / afternoon / evening.
I'm a woman, 25+ years old (she).
I recently created this blog for a canon character from an anime (Drifters) but the fandom is off. I'm looking for people who want to interact with my archer. I'm not very picky.
Since he comes from an isekai, not even the universe of your muses is an impediment, since he will simply have woken up there and has to learn to survive. I'm friendly to canon and ocs, and almost any type of plot (angst, fluff, smut, romance, fight, etc.) I'm open to plotting or letting it fly through memes. I can also vary my writing length to yours! I don't really care about the length, if the plot is quality.
I'm only looking for two things:
- (Hopefully, almost impossible) Characters from the anime/manga Drifters
- Any OC or Canon Character that wants to interact with my man. Whatever fandom it is.
Data: Please, minors don't interact since it's likely that sensitive topics are mentioned / played.
RP via Tumblr (reblogs).
Like this post and I will contact you. Thank you so much
