MCYT YURI WEEK DAY 1: DANCE

what is sparring if not dancing with extra steps (ramblings beneath cut)

their swords are training/sparring swords, not real ones (in particular, they're fencing epée, which is the kind of fencing i used to do)

false has a pistol grip here, which prioritizes control and strength (this is what i use)

gem uses a french grip! french grip fencers generally use distance to their advantage and avoid direct blade conflict. if you watch gem pvp she does exactly that, focusing on sweeping and dodging her opponents to essentially juggle them! i thought it fit her really well, particularly in contrast with false' pvp style

note that while these are practice blades, false still has the sharp(er) side of her sword pointed away from gem's face. this is a tender moment (and practice epées don't really have a sharp edge anyway, as they're piercing weapons)

the toe of gem's shoes are actually just her hooves. smile.

Mcyt yuri week day 1!!!

Here’s a poem I wrote for the theme!

@mcyt-yuri-week

Sun/Moon

She is my sun

She lights up the room the moment she walks in

She is warm as the sun in the middle of summer

Even on the most cloudy of days she never fails to bring joy

She is a beacon of life, power and divinity

She is my sun

She is my moon

She is my guiding light in the dark

She watches over me when in the when no one else is there

She is a mystery

Even if she leaves for a while I can always trust her to return

She is my moon

We are two sides of the same coin

Locked together in a eternal dance

“She is my sun and I am her moon” Pearl

“She is my moon and I am her sun” Gem

October 22-28 is Ace Week 2023, so I’d like to give a spotlight to some manga I have enjoyed that have also touched on asexuality.

I Want To Be A Wall by Honami Shirono

A 3 volume Josei manga about the lavender marriage between Gakurouta, a closeted gay man who pines for his childhood friend, and Yuriko, an aromantic, asexual BL fangirl.

She Loves To Cook, and She Loves To Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki

An ongoing yuri Josei manga with a TV adaptation about two women who bond over food. The series recently introduced Yako, an asexual lesbian, and it’s possible that protagonist Nomoto may be on the ace spectrum as well.

Is Love The Answer? by Uta Isaki

A single volume josei manga about Chika, a young college student who has always considered herself an “alien” because she has no desire for romance or physical intimacy, but finds community with people like herself.

Our Dreams At Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare by Yuhki Kamatani

A 4 volume Seinen manga about a closeted gay boy who gets to know the patrons of a drop-in center who all turn out to be part of the LGBTQ community. Someone-san might be considered a deuteragonist of the story.

I’d also like to mention two yuri manga I haven’t finished yet- I have only read the first volume of both- but because of what others have said I know they feature asexual characters!

Catch These Hands! (murata)

Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon (Shio Usui)
