god just. watching stray kids trailers or just skz videos in general just makes me think about how insanely versatile they are. every single one feels like a main character you know? (in the non overused version of the term). like its such a well balanced team that all bring SO FUCKING MUCH to the table and being able to witness it in real time as they grow even more with every day is absolutely insane to see

Okay I don't care about the netflix please tell me about the importance of all-girls schools in Yuri it sounds fascinating
ok so first of all i recommend reading the wikipedia page for yuri because it really is fascinating and talks abt stuff i won't, cause then this would get Too long
but let's start this saying that in its origins, yuri wasn't necessarily a Romance genre as we know them, nor were the girls in it necessarily lesbians. it follows a literature genre called Class S (from around 1900-1930 i believe) which depicts intense relationships between girls that sort of blur platonic and romantic lines. in fact, i'd say a lot of yuri manga are a rather good example of queerplatonic relationships
the appeal is that, despite homosexual relationships being very much forbidden then, in an all-girls school setting, it Is seen as normal to be in a relationship with a girl. schools are written as if they're havens, separated from the outside world, and where usual society rules don't apply. like some world where gay is the norm and straight is a minority
but because these rules are school-only, same-sex relationships were also seen as a (at times childish) phase that one grows out of, and once they graduate they're expected to go and find a husband anyways. which is often a source of conflict in more modern yuri manga, finding a way to maintain that school-only relationship in the outside world, or find if it's something that can survive post-graduation. because while not all characters are lesbians, some of them are indeed "that kind of girl"
