Is it just me, or has yuri lately been VERY angsty, full of drama and with bad endings? Sure seems that way to me...
It always was like that. Rather we were lucky to get some nice, fluffy and with good endings recently.
Because of course she found a boyfriend instead of getting a new girlfriend.
Just wanted to say that.
Well, that wouldn't have been as dramatic, would it? Because her getting a new girlfriend wouldn't have hit as hard (at least for me...)
Sure new bf strikes harder than new gf, but mostly because with new gf, it would be just "i wasn't good enough for her?" with new bf, you got also entire "was she serious about me? did she even love me? maybe she wasn't lesbian after all" stuff, that adds way more to the news. I honestly think you think that way only because of those unconscious (or conscious) implications that we learned to add when hearing that one of girls broke the relationship because of the bf. It just has inherently more drama and I don't think that is a good thing, because it as well always make us naturally think of the other girl as a bad person, whatever her choice was justified or not.
Well, I don't exactly need fluffy and cute yuri, but I do like it when in the end, the girl gets... Well the other girl xD
And yeah, I think you're absolutely right. My ex-gf was bi and I knew she had been very unfaithful to her past partners. Add to that that we were also having a long distance relationship and I guess this story just hit a little bit too close to home...
I didn't mean to make it sound like it wouldn't have been just as bad if she had cheated on her with another girl, it's just that having her go back to a boyfriend feels like she wasn't satisfied with a girl so she went back to men.. Which is probably just something I'm wrongly reading into this ;)
.. I just hate getting emotionally invested in a pairing (yup that happens for me even in a 20-page-long oneshot) and then having my shipping heart broken lol
