actually i’m not done talking about the magnetic pull of yurathur as a concept bc it’s like. it’s not even that it’s doomed yaoi it’s the fact that it’s there but it can never go anywhere.

there’s so many moving parts to this because, first of all, the theoretical setup is there: they’re (relatively) close friends, yura is bi, there’s ground to be covered here. except all of yura’s relationships that we see are with women and a form of escapism – that’s literally one of the first things we learn about him, in the first song of the series: “do you like me, why don’t we just get out of here? and for another night i lose myself and disappear”. the closest thing to a genuine romantic interest he has is sanya, who he deliberately pushes away from truly understanding him and seeing his vulnerabilities, his inner monologue in occam’s razor is rather bitter at the fact of her seeing him beaten up, and the entire song has a “ah shit. she’s latched on deep hasn’t she” conclusion. when describing his bisexuality ferry said women are his comfort zone, and truly i think the biggest problem for yura would be the fundamental barrier of going out of his comfort zone to 1. date a man 2. have some sort of explicit and addressed emotional intimacy with a person the relationship with whom he’s largely built on a level of irony and facade.

then there’s arthur and his titanium closet. not even addressing the fact that the object of his attraction is yura, the shithead asshole, taking a leap and manifesting his sexuality into the real world for someone as closed off as arthur? unimaginable. so, this aspect has to be unstated, tip-toed around, a looming dread that literally haunts the narrative surrounding him but can never be looked at directly. that’s what makes it so magnetic, so compelling and almost tantalising. it’s like a black hole that pulls and yet it can’t be adequately described.

it’s like, ok, there’s this part in homestuck where caliborn makes dirk draw him “pornography”, except it’s all entirely non-pornographic and just people looking at each other and holding hands at most, except the way he’s so into it and treats it like it’s incredibly scandalous somehow makes it even more uncomfortable and disturbing than if it was actual porn. it’s a similar principle here where the absolute lack of anything explicit juxtaposes itself with the obviousness of said reality where the tension skyrockets and creates an emotional reaction much stronger than if those two just made out on screen.

like, this interpretation is built on logically connecting pieces of a puzzle: arthur is gay, his type is “someone who makes him feel alive”, the crush meme ferry did a while back specifically doesn’t address the question of if he likes anyone currently, since we’re confined by The Narrative it would make sense if his romantic interest was part of the cast, and yura fits the bill. but what makes this have staying power is this tantalising reality of the whole affair, the fact that it’s not going to go anywhere, never will, but it’s still There and nobody is ever going to address it so it will always Stay There. it’s both inescapable and invisible, present yet absent, it’s not even left up to imagination, but up to interpretation, which is even more potent.

Pls send help they’re making me fail UI

Yes that IS an Alaya Vijnana system for any Gundam nerds who’ve passed by. I have been cooking so hard that I forgot to do my actual schoolwork and am behind in basically every class. 💞
