I read this every year or two. Cute and somehow somewhat relatable.

Same here. Kinda nice to find a kindred spirit.

Also are the words on the can at the end a message from the author? haha

Oh, absolutely.

Adorable.

"Shadows grow longer"... I have a horrible feeling about the next chapter.

That just means "time is passing". Your shadow grows longer past noon and until sunset.

By all means, throw someone a CD case from the second floor of a building, it's going to be juuuust fine.

I like that the author didn't play around. I was expecting a killer cliffhanger and I got exactly that.

This story has gone from fluffy to unhinged in record time.

I don't sure if "incest" tag is ok because Suzu and Yuki are cousins

If they are both first cousins, which I believe is what's implied, then it is still incest.

No? It depends on the place really.

I think the point is that biologically it's incest no question, so the tag is accurate. Legality is obviously transient, In Japan (and most of western Europe) first cousins incest is perfectly legal so that's not a problem here.

The definition of incest varies between cultures, so I'm assuming they're from a culture where liking your cousin isn't incest. It's all just social conventions, really.

Oh god the uselessness of those two.

I can't even fault them, though, because of the marriage thing.

INCOMING TRAINWRECK!

ALL HANDS, BRACE FOR IMPACT

I would only count this as yuri if it was a series and it simply started here. As a oneshot I see nothing to indicate this isn’t just friendship, even if it was printed in a yuri magazine.

Ah, yes, the Yuri vs Subtext debate. Never gets old

This is my drug

My God! Somebody thinks very highly of their self.

Doesn't everyone?

Oh, it seems my silly idea started an argument of sorts. I'm extremely sorry!

I didn't mean to start an argument, I just wanted to share an idea.

I... wasn't arguing, really. I don't think the others were, either. I like talking with people about this stuff, it's fun.

^ Quantum stuff is nondeterministic and changes based on the observer, non-binary is constantly non-male and non-female no matter the observer (or if there is an observer or not). I don't think quantum stuff is a good analogy for non-binary as a gender.

It wasn't an analogy. It was a joke.

There are no good real world analogies for quantum mechanics, the whole thing is super bizarre.

Also, it's less about "observers" and more about information. Take the double slit experiment. If information about which slit the photon went through exists in nature, even if not read by any conscious observers, the photon will behave as a particle. If such information doesn't exist, it will behave as a wave (until it hits the screen and is detected as a particle, in other words, it will create an interference pattern). Notably, if the information is collected and subsequently destroyed, it will still behave as a wave. More notably, even if you shoot photons at the device one at a time, if no information exists about which slit it went through, it will behave as a wave, acting as if it's interfering with the past and future other photons.

Can you find a real world analogy to that madness?

Could work if your character is non-binary. They'd be a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of superposition.

With all due respect, non-binary is not a boy or a girl at any given time, they are outside the male/female gender binary.

The person you’re quoting said, “They'd be a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of superposition..”

Superposition meaning “the action of placing one thing on or above another, especially so that they coincide.”

They might even be talking about quantum superposition whose page on Wikipedia mentions the Schrödinger equation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition

I think this indicates the person you’re quoting understands that non-binary doesn’t fall on the male/female binary.

Yeah, except non-binary isn't being genderfluid (except for Dynasty tagging purposes, I guess). It's a "neither" not an "either". Ergo, there is no "superposition" between masculinity and feminity, the same way that the colour fuxia isn't anywhere on the black/white gradient.

I think the term you're looking for is agender. I would know, I'm agender.

Non-binary is an umbrella term for anyone that doesn't identify exclusively as belonging in one of those two genders. Genderfluid people are non-binary too.

The Wikipedia page on non-binary is actually pretty good, so check that out.

And yes, I was talking about quantum superposition, which is that really bizarre phenomenon of the quantum realm where an object (say, a cat) can be in two states (say, dead and alive) at the same time simultaneously. The cat is not dead or alive until you open the box. It's both, simultaneously. Opening the box either collapses those two realities into one (Copenhagen interpretation) or expands them to encompass you as well (many worlds interpretation) or something else that we don't know yet.

So a person being a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of quantum superposition is a non-binary joke.

Also, quantum stuff is weird

People misunderstanding what the Schrödinger's Cat is about is kinda my pet peeve. Nothing about this comic even reminds me of that. Oh well.

Oh no, my heart.

That aside, would a Trans Yuri romance story called "Schrödinger’s Girl" be considered a clever idea, a silly idea, or an insulting one?

I only ask because that is what popped into my mind when I saw the title. Only for it to a literal Schrödinger’s Girl(Cat).

Could work if your character is non-binary. They'd be a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of superposition.

Maybe have the same story happening in two identical parallel universes where the only difference is the main character's gender. This character can talk to their counterpart in the other universe and influence their decisions. It would be sad when the wavefunction collapses and only one of the two remains.

So... Kyou speedran the confession (a few sentences after the first time they ever talked), then speedran the jealousy, and tried to use those feelings to speedrun the sex, which failed (and amazingly she didn't force Mion), so they speedran the breakup.

That was certainly... one of the stories of all time.

So, next chapter's the make up and marriage chapter?

Read the author's name again.

(Also, I think this is finished, it was a two shot)

Well, that did not go anywhere near as expected, although based on everything we've seen so far, I can only assume something must have happened to cause the other girl to miss their meeting...

The author realized that the story would end. They decided to drag it out instead.

That said, I'm not overly fond of this new suicide plot.

Yeah, that title page for this chapter is a bit foreboding

Ooooooooohhhh

This one is pretty cute. I'm loving it so far.

Also, rock types by amount of silica? I guess I must have skpped that lesson back in high school.

Is it still yuri if one of the characters is essentially pikachu?

This one felt pretty shallow for some reason

It's too short, you can't unpack the whole mess.

Survived by cutting off my left leg with a butter knife.

Now, back to my fics

I may not survive
