    HOLY SHIT, SON
    So, how come no one ever told me there was an early 1960s movie where Shirley Maclaine and Audrey Hepburn play a lesbian couple? I mean, yeah, okay, [spoilers]in canon it's one-sided romantic love on the part of Shirley Maclaine's character, but still. Audrey Hepburn's character still asked her to go away with her in the end! And even after the inevitable AWFUL TRAGIC ending that I dared to hope wouldn't happen...happened anyway in the last five minutes, I was at least glad that Audrey Hepburn's character got to walk off on her own with her head held high, mourning her maybe-friend-maybe-could-have-been-more, and specifically NOT ending up back with her fiance for some traditional ~all's well that ends well~ 50s movie ending.[spoilers]

    Seriously, though. Even if this is probably one of the original examples people cite for evidence of the dead lesbian trope in film, and I'm probably a huge n00b for never having heard of it before, I was kind of stoked to see it just now. I love Shirley Maclaine and I love Audrey Hepburn; they're two of my very favorite actresses from that time period.

    This is why Turner Classic Movies is great. This and the Harold Pinter BDSM, incest, and class warfare flicks.

    Rec
    So, I've just started reading through the femslash-big-bang-otherwise-known-as [info]thelittlebang fics that've been posted, and I fell in love with the first one I read. It's Grimm's Fairy Tales fic, Briar Rose/Snow White, entitled Memories of You Being Beautiful, and it's just great.

    Two people appearing at least twice each in one form or another, and a lot of reflections )

    O HAY
    Hey, hey, check it out.

    So...anyone (who hasn't already signed up) want to write an original f/f story for the Shousetsu Bang Bang yuri special? :D? :D? (If you're unfamiliar with SSBB you should look up their last yuri special, which was awesome--or any of their recent m/m issues, they're all lots of fun.) Signups at the link.

    [not fanart art] porn + building
    So I was flipping through a book the other day that said the ancient Romans were even more hung up and repressed about fellatio than they were about any kind of penetrative sex. Though cunninlingus was apparently considered even more ~*~horribly shameful~*~ than fellatio. Which is to say, one of these days my repression kink would demand I should draw some het toga porn. And then I should read about Roman lesbians and do some of that too. Greek lesbians would be awesome too...though what I've read about Sappho and her whole school sounds kind of depressingly like a BAD END schoolgirl yuri. :(

    (For my next trick, I will read this book from cover to cover and then tell you all about it. I'm probably kidding. Actually, the guy who wrote that book gave a talk on it at my school years ago when I was in undergrad, I still remember goggling at the printed flyers on the wall. Something about the phrase "first truly democratic sexuality" sticks in your mind.)

    Anyhow, I drew more porn. And a building.

    Very very not worksafe )

    WHY THE HELL AM I WATCHING STRAWBERRY PANIC
    I really don't know. (...okay, that's a lie. I'm probably watching it for the same reasons everyone else watches it.)

    So, in this scene from episode 13, which I have screencapped for your viewing pleasure (yes, these subtitles are all real), a tall dark bishoujo has just backed a little moeblob into a corner.

    "MUAHAHAHAHAHA YES, MY DEAR, THERE IS NO ESCAPE." *twirls mustaches*

    'Now hold still while I explain the hoax of global warming to you.' ('OH GOD, NO, ANYTHING BUT THAT!') )

    [fanart] Something from Kurenai
    I don't think I've mentioned Kurenai to you all before. It's a short 12 episode anime about a young man who works as a "conflict mediator". Which in practice seems to be a lot like working for the mob, only FOR JUSTICE. And the animation and character design are unusually groovy and gorgeous. And he's mentored by a lot of hot assassin women. Particularly Benika, the head of the organization Kurenai works for In a more just world (or one which catered to me personally, whichever comes first) there would be a large fandom full of yuri for this show. There isn't, but hey, now I'm doing my small part.

    Series is all on Veoh over here.

    And I drew some Benika/Lin somewhere between beating the crap out of each other and doing it on the desk. In high heels. The fighting in heels bit is canon. IDEK.

    This is worksafe, though. I don't know where I went wrong. )

    Hmm.
    So, in my part of the world, the giant-emoticon-in-the-sky looked less like a :) and more like a :(

    I wish I had a tripod for the camera--I'd've taken a picture for you guys.

    [not fanart art] more of the usual
    More gratuitious Roman porn. Which possibly looks a bit more like a scene from an opium den. Though I'm sure no one at any time in history would really employ a hanging brazier like that, like that, since you'd be bound to end up lighting your bed on fire. But who cares--color and composition>>>>>>common sense.

    Not Work Safe but actually not nearly as not-work-safe as sometimes. I almost considered putting this on DA just to see what would happen. )

    Next Monday night
    When the Moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars Venus...

    ...well, nothing especially important will happen, but who doesn't like giant emoticons in the sky.

    [fanart] Simoun porn and yet it is yuri
    I was flipping through the requests from the last Yuri challenge, and someone had asked for Simoun, Amuria/Neviril/Aeru. Well, it's sort of an obvious thing but I hadn't really thought about it before (and given all the uncertainty in the end about just what really happened to Amuria at the beginning, it's not even necessarily against canon). It could still happen at some unspecified point in the future. Really in the future--say, they all end up three thousand years into the future at the end and...I don't know. Together they fight crime. And have lots of sex on rooftops.

    As usual, ~*~Not Safe for Work~*~ )

    SSBB yuri special out now
    The SSBB yuri special is out!

    As always, it's full of excellent authors writing original f/f stories, and you should read everything. Including [info]woodburner's story Sun Wolf, which I did two illustrations for and so got to read beforehand. \o/
