All the bloggy stuff about Yuri on Ice so far, with links for your convenience and possible pleasure.
As I’ve said, the old blog where I was tumbling stuff before (and not well because tumblr is not my best social media game, but I’m trying to learn) is no longer being updated, and we’re doing stuff here. So follow this if you want to see stuff. That said, where I’ve been chattiest about Yuri so far is on my Wordpress blog, because that’s how old school I am. Here are links to everything I’ve said so far. I think it’s approaching 30k of babble, so you know, go get tea and a blanket.
My initial overview of the series and a recap of episodes 1 & 2.
Episode 3 recap & commentary.
Episode 4, which goes pretty deep into meta stuff.
Episodes 5 & 6, also has meta.
Episode 7, summary and meta but also goes deep into why this show means so goddamned much to the queer community.
Episode 8, summary, meta, etc.
Skating my way to mental safe spaces: talking about why I suddenly leapt into this fandom so hard, because this didn’t used to be my thing.
Episode 9, where there’s summary and meta and I go on a serious JJ tirade.
Episode 10, the longest commentary to date because I came unglued along with the rest of the fandom because my god, it was episode ten.
An extra discussion about toxic masculinity and how beautifully YOI unpacks it.
I have a lot more I want to do, maybe today but I really have to start these cookies and other real life stuff. I may start not just redirecting them to Tumblr but manually posting them here because they look hella gross when Wordpress dumps them in here. It’s more work, but if you’re going to do something, do it right, I guess.
