I love my friends in the game audio field!! They're very talented and I love being able to work with them to make a banger work with the audio in a game!! It makes the results feel all the more special <3

Between the amount of shitty gaming takes regarding Microsoft's Leaks, the "what opinion would get you like this" meme being back again and the amount of homophobia and transphobia being thrown around in Brazil`s social medias because of today's conservative politicians' push to prohibit homosexual marriage in this country, this is is a bad day to be around the hellsite

Following up on some off-the-cuff comments I made on the Okazu discord about Yuri Is My Job, here are some half-baked and incomplete thoughts trying to tie together the various strains of yuri (mainly manga, with some anime mixed in) in a semi-coherent way. My aim is not to do a TV Tropes/“database animal”-style collection of common yuri tropes, but rather to try to account for the historical evolution of yuri in its various incarnations, and relate them to the Japanese social, cultural, economic, and political contexts in which yuri works were created. (I omit discussion of yuri outside of Japan, although it’s very interesting to see how non-Japanese yuri and “GL” content is both influenced by and differs from Japanese yuri.)

Please consider this an opportunity to poke holes in my arguments and highlight important factors I totally missed. And with that, let’s get to it . . .

especially over this week because the Die Gute Fabrik socials are going to be sharing some of the music I've been making for their game, Saltsea Chronicles. this is at least 1-1.5 years of sitting on some of these, too, so i'm glad and a lil nervous but eager to finally share some things! will post them here pending my online capacity (it's just been low this year generally) and any bits of context is added in the read more!
