"The Madonna of Ice Castle Hasetsu" is literally the gayest thing an anime character has ever said about another anime character
Every time I rewatch YOI and Yuuri arrives at Ice Castle and reminisces his childhood, my brain goes like, "boy, this is so gay" and I love it!
But seriously...
Yuuko ticks off all the boxes for being a female gay icon—or at least for Yuuri she used to be exactly that. She was also the best support he could possibly get growing up as a queer kid who was dreaming big, and he still confides in her years later when he tries to revive that dream.

Shiratori Jun (née Nothing) is my Alchemist Librarian character for the PC and Mobile game Bungou to Alchemist (文豪とアルケミスト). She is either the main character for my series of fanfictions or at the very least an important character.
Why is Jun?
I noticed that the nameless Librarian I wrote in some fics seemed to have a consistent character, so I decided to flesh her out a little. Just a little. I might have lied there.
When is Jun?
She was born 1969 (nice) and this series takes place in the early 2000s.
What is Jun?
... a perfectly normal human. No more questions.
Below is a list of important fics for this series as a whole and for Jun herself.
Please Respond, Shisho-san!: The OG Jun fic, it's written as a mystery but uh... I mean you know her name's Jun. There are some inconsistencies here compared to later works, but keep in mind this was the first Jun fic.
Falsified Life: Properly establishing an important character in these fics.
5 and 50 and Everything Inbetween: A more casual, slice of life Jun where she runs an errand with Rimbaud.
I'll make you a dress, if it makes you happy: Further delving into her past relationships. Jun used to have friends.
Shiga is Missing: The plot really kicking up. Ton being established as a major character, for better or for worse (for worse. For him).
From This Life to the Next: I will be honest, the actual next fic in the series is very pornographic. And very long. But for those of you who don't wanna read all that, the first chapter in this fic tells you what you need to know from Shiga's POV.
An Alchemist Abroad: Proper introduction to foreign libraries as well as the beginnings of insight into what happened to Shiga during those 15 months. Will rewrite at some point in the future but still very important.
(🔞 themes) So What Now?: (tw body dysmorphia and rape) An interlude of a fic, but it's clear that Doppo is not ok.
Purify "A Single Statuette": Directly following "So What Now", this full fledged fic delves into the past of Jun's deceased husband Kazuo. Literally. Not only do they have to save him, but they have to save themselves too.
Datenight Discoveries: Shiga and Ton finally go on their date, but we finally learn what Shiga went through overseas, for better or for worse (for worse. for him)
(New!) He Doesn't Deserve This: Something is very wrong with Takeo. Something very very wrong indeed. (2/?)
This list will be updated as I continue to write these stories.
NOT PLOT RELATED
The Library Files: Little slice of life ficlets taking place in this Library. Just for fun.
Far Too Much Effort: Jun makes valentines day chocolate from scratch. I said FROM SCRATCH.
To Catch a Librarian: A birthday fic for this very normal woman. Endorsed by my dad he likes this fic.
This list will be updated too if I write more fun Jun related stuff.
So, it’s been about two hours. I don’t feel real. This year has been Hell and yet Digimon still shines so brightly. I literally joked about this, had some crackpot theory that Joshua Seth was redubbing everything. That was reality. We even got the OG Matt back. He hasn’t voiced since DSB. The last thing I need is a redubbed DSB with Joshua Seth and the OG score well and the Eng dub with the OG score but I understand that’s a niche within a niche.
I’m just so happy to have been able to experience all of this with all of you. Please support the official release when this comes out if you can, we need more of this!!!!!!!!!
DO YUUKI DO YUUKO IVE SEEN YOU RB XXXHOLIC I SEE YOUR BANNER
RUBBING MY HANDS TOGETHER LIKE AN EVIL LITTLE FLY
THE fictional witch ever of all time SHE IS SO RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SHE'S SO SO FUNNY AND SHE'S A PARTY GIRL AND SHE'S AN ASSHOLE AND SHE'S DIVINLY BEAUTIFUL TO TOP IT ALL OF JUST JUST AAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!!! yuuko ichihara i love you with my entire heart
MOKONA DIDN'T KNOW AND THIS IS HOW SHE HAD TO FIND OUT???
I suppose that would be a hard talk to have. How do you even bring that up in conversation.
Who knew that Mokona screaming in concern for her loved ones was going to be such a big part of this climax?
And THIS is a side of Yuuko that’s so painful to see. The clear sadness as she clutches her robes tighter to herself, her existence already starting to fade away…?
The immediate emergency aside, I’m kind of LOVING the parallel existence this gives Yuuko and Sakura. Both of them as people who died but had their existence altered by a Reed, both of them becoming hyper powerful but separated from usual reality. No wonder Yuuko cared so openly for Sakura - not only because it was Sakura, but because Sakura had such a similar fate to herself. And, maybe, a connected existence that would only allow one of them to exist?
Is there only one blank space in the universe for a being like them? Or is it the specifics of Lava Lamp's actions that drawing them together like magnets until one overwrites the other?
I'm not sure if she was technically a "clone" in the full sense of the word, but Yuuko was, in her own way, a failed attempt at creating someone else - so another type of failed clone, but a powerful one living her own life and maintaining her part of the universe.
And how sad that Evil Wolverine clearly saw the process that created Yuuko and decided to copy it to shatter the universe, when her existence was to maintain it. How Evil Wolverine saw Yuuko and decided to forcefully create a new broken person who would force her out of existence.
And despite it all, despite the fact that she knew it was coming, and made plans to help the people she wanted to, and obviously cared for Sakura deeply - despite all that, look how sad Yuuko is that it’s finally happening.
