villhöver den där jävla muminparfymen som lush ska släppa på ett SÄTT alltså

Sending love to those desperately trying to reignite their spark.

Skickar kärlek till de som desperat försöker återuppväcka sin ginsta.

actually this is really interesting me bc of the etymology of yaoi and yuri as terms. yuri literally means lily, and comes from a widely influential gay magazine, barazoku (rose tribe) referring to its female fans as yurizoku (lily tribe) leading to lilies being associated with sapphic women. on that note, bara in japanese is an pejorative towards gay men, similar to “pansy” in English, and one that was being used in a reclamatory way by the magazine- if you see controversy over the word bara being used to describe things in English, that’s why, it’s still used as a homophobic insult. yaoi is an acronym of “yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi” which in English would be “no climax no point no meaning”, or basically porn without plot. and, funnily enough, while yuri and yaoi are popular terms in English speaking communities, Japan in fact uses “girls love” and “boys love” (as in, the English terms) more commonly iirc. so nonbinary yaoi/yuri would presumably either be a description of the stereotypical plot (or lack thereof) or a flower associated with nonbinary people in Japan. or “x love” I guess, since “x-gender” (also in English) is a common way to refer to nonbinary people in Japan.

It is simply not fulfilling to enjoy media in the height of its popularity. You need to show up so late to the party that everybody else is gone and the hosts are asleep so you can rummage through their trash for chip dip and stale hors d’oeurves to eat alone in the dark like a dirty little raccoon secret
