For as much as I like yuri, it's hard not to notice how often it's all about cis women. Seeing a series as classic and influential as Marimite tell a character who looks like me that she's welcome among the cast is a lot, even if the extent of that welcome remains to be seen.
I finally got to the trans girl in Marimite and... I'm kind of shook at how spot on her depiction is? The joy in her eyes when she presents femme, the tears at having to deadname herself, the flood of emotion when someone calls her valid... and nobody makes fun of her for it...
today on marimite: the main character receives less attention from her girlfriend than usual and as a result has an emotional breakdown where she assumes she's unlovable and that their relationship is over and WOW this show finally decided to laser target me huh
every piece of seth art i see gets closer and closer to nagatoro sneers and i think i'm less comfortable with this than i'd be if it were all just horny
