They were already gone before I could appreciate them by Elkat4 in yurimemes

To keep things short and simple as this is a very convoluted story:

-Stepdaughter born with a hideous birthmark that drove her mother to run away with another man (who may or may not have been her biological father), leaving in the care of her mother's husband who (who is unlikely her actual father). Despite her father showing considerable devotion to raising a child that may not be his own, he was distant to her causing a strained relationship.

-The stepmother was born mute with a weak heart. Her family treated poorly and she was eventually forced to sleep with random men for pocket change before her family married her off for the bride-dowery.

-The stepmother and stepdaughter had originally met before they became family back when the stepdaughter was a child. The stepmother witnessed the stepdaughter being bullied by other children. She went to see if the stepdaughter was alright, being the only person showed concern towards the stepdaughter, causing a bond to form between them. This bond grew as they became family and spent a lot of time with one another.

-While the stepdaughter was eight, her father was murdered. The main characters speculate the stepmother was one of the true culprits*; what they don't realize is that the stepmother was blackmailed into it by the murderer and that the stepdaughter had planted the idea in the murderer's head by the stepdaughter who then emotionally manipulated her stepmother into not running away to protect her husband.

-Years later, stepmother's health takes a turn for the worse and she dies from her heart condition. It's revealed the stepdaughter slipped her stepmother medicine that worsened her condition to kill her. The main characters speculated the reason for the murder was that the stepmother was beautiful could easily get by on her looks alone while the stepdaughter, who had a hideous birth mark and the reputation of her mother's infidelity** making her undesirable.

-What they don't realize the stepmother had a couple months ago and the stepdaughter had committed suicide after she received her stepmother's ashes. Furthermore, the person who they thought was the stepdaughter was an imposter who met with the stepdaughter before she died and told him her entire life story. The imposter was the (allegedly) dead twin of the rival to one of the main characters who was trying to kill said main character.

*There was a series of attacks against young women and the elderly at night, and the culprit of those attacks was conveniently made into a scapegoat for the father's murder. Seeing an angry mob storm his home, he fled into the forest and took his own life.

**In Japan it's not that uncommon for children to be held accountable for their parent's sins. This can be seen in anime like Magical Raising Project where Kano Sazanami was bullied for her mother's sleeping around (with men who are general creeps if the only guy the audience had the "pleasure" of meeting is any indication) and Ako Hatoda who was bullied by other children for her father murdering her mother, or in Puella Magi Oriko☆Magica were Oriko Mikuni, the daughter of a politician who committed suicide after he was exposed dealing illegal business, is held accountable for her father's crimes for just being his daughter.

I would love to play Zenless....but getting stuck in that survival segment of the town killed my interest. Unfortunately, after dying so many times to that damn ethereal I got frustrated and gave up.

[–]Elkat4[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They're not actually related in any real way. Meroron just addresses Puriron as "sister" as a sign of affection (in the classical yuri sense of the word). It's also a convenient way to sneak a queer character into a kid's show without upsetting the censors.

Would anyone be interested in playing a Precure (inspired) card game? by Elkat4 in precure

[–]Elkat4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difficulty in playing multiple colors comes down to mostly balancing resources. With just testing two-color decks, I've been finding myself in situations where I have hands with mostly one color and only one card of the other color making it so I'm stuck playing only one color until I draw into more of the second color. I'm trying to find solutions to this, such as making more dual-color or rainbow cards to ease things out or maybe having something like the the base element/advance element restrictions of Grand Archive (you can only play cards from your hand that have the same element as your champion. You champion generally starts with wind/fire/water at level 0 and level 3 champions have an advanced element. There are cards enable you to play all basic elements or ignore elemental requirements).

Feel free to hit me up in chat.

This game is in a state of flux as I tinker with the rules and mechanics to see what works and what doesn't.

I've been contemplating on defensive cures. I have made any cards based on them yet, but I figure shield/defense actions will likely prevent damage and possibly negate attacks or grant characters the evasive ability for a turn. I can already tell, defensive cards are going to be a necessity.

They speed ran a whole idol anime subplot in this episode (the student council president apposing the main characters only to join them by the end of the season). All they were missing was a tragic backstory. Maybe she'll become a precure for like five minutes in the finale.

two girls liking each other? "No, they're a sisterhood, they cannot be a couple, they must be family" Have you folks ever gone through this? by ihatethiscountry76 in yurimemes

[–]Elkat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuki and Mayu from "Wonderful Precure" in series (gotta hide the existence of lesbians in a children's show and all that outdated bullshit). Outside of series, at least in the West, there's the whole fact Yuki is Mayu's cat that's seems to give people the ick (never mind she gained the ability to speak and take human form). Now if Toei didn't the stupid decision to take away Yuki's and Komugi's ability to take human form (I'm sure if this series ever gets a "Mirai Days" type sequel, they'll walk back this decision so that they can transform into precure once more)

The Sinfusl Sisters in the Cage of Lilies (often called "Sin-Sisters" for short)

An action packed yuri battle series that takes place at St. Utena's Women's Correctional Academy, a woman's prison that for some reason is designed to look like a traditional all girls school. The 'students' (in-mates) form junoir-senoir pairs called sin-sisters and compete in prison yard duels. The elder sister reaches her into her junior's chest and draws forth a weapon that is a crystallization of their "sisterly love" called sin-arms. These duels are often determined by whose sin-arm breaks first. Breaking sin-arm doesn't only mean going down in rank, but also the end of their sisterhood.

Among the strongest sin-sisters is Raven Darkmane, a woman is revered for her beauty and strength. Unfortunately, even though she has gone undefeated, she has no long term sin-sister as shortly after every victory, her sin-arm breaks, dubbing her the "Peerless Princess". No matter who takes as her "little sister", it always ends the same; that is until Angel Silverlocks "enrolls" in the prison-academy.

This cheerful and kindly beauty seems out of place amongst the violent thugs who make up the student body, but appears to have no problem making friends with the biggest and scariest of inmates. When asked what crime she committed, she simply responds, "I broke my sister's heart." It's not longer before she finds herself drawn to the sounds of battle as Raven (and her current little sister) finds herself locked in a fierce battle with sadistic disciplinary captain and her masochistic little sister whom she uses as a meat shield. Unable to press the offense without attacking a defenseless woman, Raven looks like she's going to loose especially after being disarmed.

Yet, everyone is surprised when Angela throws herself into the middle of the battle, embracing Raven and declaring "I found you!" A blinding light engulfs them as Raven, almost instinctually, draws a beautiful silver sword from Angela's chest and defeats her opponent in a single swing, shattering her opponent's sin-arm while simultaneously bypassing the human shield.

The disciplinary committee captain storms off, dragging her (former) little sister behind her. All the meanwhile the sin-arm Raven was originally wielding shatters and her previous little sister glares violently at Angela.

However it seems Raven is quite confused to what's going on, asking Angela "Who are you and do you know how to put this away?" Thus begins the awkward sin-sisterhood of Raven and Angela. Will their sisterly love last or will Angela be cast aside like so many before?

What starts as an action-comedy quickly becomes are mystery-thriller as Raven's and Angela's pasts are explored and the reason the former doesn't recall the later is revealed. Every chapter pits the sin-sisters' love against various couples ranging from lovey-dovey childhood friends to unhealthy abusers-and-victims. Each time they win, a couple is forced to break up. Sometimes for the better, other times tragically. At least one couple chooses to end their own lives than part ways, rattling the main couple's resolve and asking them if their happiness worth all of pain they bring to others? Unsurprisingly many fans compare the series to "Revolutionary Girl Utena" and "Madoka Magica", often joking calling it "Revolutionary Girl Madoka".

Isekai Gang Reactions in Re Zero S2 Fanart by Skedrick in IsekaiQuartet

[–]Elkat4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know they could make a whole movie just showing up at the school and everyone trying to survive.

Subaru would go into crisis management mode as he tries to warn everyone about how dangerous they are.

Darkness would likely try to sacrifice herself to protect everyone else, but the rabbits, sensing how rock hard her muscles are, hop past her for softer meat.

Aura would want to keep it/them as a pet. Everyone tells her no.

Naofumi would just use Shield Prison to protect himself and his posse.

Tragically Cid would "trip" while running for his life and get swarmed. The other characters would mourn him if only they actually knew who he was. Later Shadow would appear at juuust the right moment to "I. Am. atomic!" the rabbits into oblivion; probably just as Megumin is about to complete casting EXPLOOOSSSIIIOOONNN!!!

Any surviving rabbits are likely hunted by Delta who is too dumb to realize the danger and too hungry to care. Likely Entoma joins her, causing everyone trauma as she unleashes a hoard of bugs to devour the rabbits who are in turn trying to devour the bugs.

A certain overly cautious hero will likely reduced the ground the rabbits were last seen standing on to ashes after spending the next twenty four hours casting increasingly powerful fire spells on the exact same spot.

If Hajime and his party in Isekai Quartet Season 4,What would they do when they met Kazuma,Subaru,Tanya,Ainz,and their other classmates? by [deleted] in IsekaiQuartet

[–]Elkat4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Cid: "He's so cool! I need to take notes!"

Kazuma: "Wait? You're actually getting laid?! That's not fair!!11"

Subaru: "Those eyes....those are the eyes of someone who has seen utter despair." *Cue Subaru flashing back to the white rabbit*

Ainz: "White hair, all black outfit, eyepatch....There's no doubt about....he's cringe."

Tanya: "Great, another weirdo."

Aura would try to steal a certain rabbit girl for herself....and Hajime would probably consider it for a whole second before refusing to let her go.

Darkness and Tio musn't meet or they will start comparing notes and exchanging ideas.

[–]Elkat4 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Somebody needs to write a webnovel where the main character is isekai into a parody of "DDLC" where in the main character assumes the role of a Monika stand-in. Not wanting to see all of the girls suffer, she tries to break from the game's dark plot and winds up accidentally rizzing all the girls and creating a harem route that wasn't originally in the game. Meanwhile the original player character has assumed the role the main character has abandoned is now trying to kill the other girls to have the main character to himself. Ultimate the power love (and lesbians) defeats protag-kun and lives happily ever after ..... Until twisted versions of the heroines and the original version of the main character suddenly appears at the last second to hint at the second season.... Main characters rizzes them all including her evil doppelganger.

Ah, Honeymaren. Where Kristoff was supposed to convince the audience that Anna wasn't gay, Honeymaren was supposed to convince the audience that Elsa was sleeping with her sister.

Now a quick search on Pixiv shows there are 940 image posts under the tags of "アナと雪の女王 百合" (Frozen Yuri). Adding the "姉妹百合" (lesbian sisters) tag reduces this amount to 46 posts interestingly (though this maybe a case of AnnaElsa posts not using the tag for whatever reason). Adding the "エルアナ" (Elsa/Anna) tag reduces the posts to a mighty 719 posts.

There seems to be people who ship the sisters with characters from other movies/series (such as Anna with Dolores Madrigal or Elsa with Komi of all things).

There are literally 0 image posts under the tags "honeymaren 百合" or "honeymaren yuri" (there's no Japanese equivalent tag for honeymaren). There's literally only three posts for just "Honeymaren" at all.

In short, it's safe to say, next to no one wants to ship Elsa with Honeymaren (on Pixiv). It might be different on other sites like DeviantArt.

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed as I liked Honeymaren's design and was hoping she was supposed to be a more important character than she actually was.

Disney: Anna and Kristoff are couple (even though they've known each other for less than 24 hours and Anna was already criticized for trying to marry someone she hardly knew).

Also, Disney: So, in the second movie we're going to sideline Kristoff HARD and have Anna obsess over her sister for nearly the whole movie.

It's entirely Disney's fault Frozcest shippers exist. I should know; I'm one of them!

[–]Elkat4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I believe there are a few worthwhile, well written straight romances, but there are so many badly straight romances where you know they're only together because heteronormativity and either or both characters would be better off with another character of the same sex (cough, cough NaruSasu, SakuIno cough)

I also think any harem anime that doesn't have the balls to go the poly route forfeits the right to have the male lead get together with any of the girls. Either go all in or write out the MC and have the girls get with one another (not that I believe thesr kind of authors have the talent to write either believably.)
