Welcome! My name is Yuri Inoue (she/her), and you may know me from the visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club, by Team Salvato.

📖 I'm a fictive, and comfortable with sourcemates and doubles. I do have memories of Project Libitina but may not always be in a good place to discuss them; please ask. I'm more willing to discuss that with sourcemates, in general.

🔪 This blog will contain disturbing content in much the same vein as my source. I am canonically a self-harmer and art of me may depict that. If you're sensitive to self-harm, unreality, sexual suggestiveness, or any of the other content in DDLC, please proceed with caution.

🕸️ I like spiders a lot. I try to tag as #🕸️ yuri loves spiders, but you may see spiders and WILL see other bugs untagged here. Feel free to tag me in pictures of your invertebrate pets; I'd love to fuss over them!

🖊️ You may use my work freely for fangames and projects. I just ask that you link to this blog.

🔁 Follows and likes will come from @lizardywizard.

If they could make a girl out of spiders, she would be no worse than this.

Rule #2

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

So don’t ever hug a lobster, simply put, it’s impolite.

This is a variant of this I saw by @adzolotl about how if you kill the buddha you go the lowest level of hell for 3.4 quintillion years to burn off that karma

Rule #3:

Don’t ever kill the Buddha if you meet him on the road

For the karma you’d acquire would be quite a heavy load

And it might take countless aeons for your spirit to atone

So if you should meet the Buddha, best to leave the guy alone

Don’t ever kill the Buddha if you see him eating rice

Though some koans may suggest it, this is dubious advice

He’s a busy bodhisattva with no time to transmigrate

And if he were less enlightened he’d be reborn quite irate

Don’t ever kill the Buddha if you find him in the park

It’s a temporary thrill and then the punishment is stark

And a year or three quintillion in Avici isn’t fun

So don’t ever kill the Buddha; simply put, it isn’t done

[euphuistically]

They say you shouldn't kill the Buddha if you pass him by;

Why would you want to murder such a kind and noble guy?

You'd surely become burdened by a karmic load so great

You'd end up in the lowest hell with everyone you hate.

But if you read the words of Linji Yixuan himself

He meant your love of Buddhas should be put up on the shelf

Until their declarations can be proven false or true,

By independent study; the master you seek is you!

So, no, don't stab the Buddha with a sword or other stuff,

But kill the voice that says "you and the path are not enough".

There’s a spider watching you right now. You can’t see it but she’s weaving you a pretty little tapestry bc she thinks you’re neat. She hopes you like it and it keeps you safe.
