iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

i tried to make a serious effort to learn to draw last year but its so hard to set the time aside to practice and struggle, especially when there's already something else I love (writing) that I've already put that work in and am pretty good at.

It's fall sale season once again. A perfect time to cozy up with a good book, or perhaps a series of visual novels about a nun who got stuck in the pear wiggler store.steampowered.com/bundle/71001...

The originals are fairly barebones in terms of plot and character, but its usually charming, and lots of silly banter, and a loose thread of continuity between the games (The antagonist of one game becomes a playable character in the next, etc) and there's just enough there to build on.

Days of Yore is easily one of the best ongoing yuri manga and its at a serious risk of getting Axed. If you enjoy the series and have the means, please consider buying a digital copy, I do not want this series to die.

Are you looking for something new to read? May I suggest some lady and knight yuri where both have monstrous secrets? A slow burn romance where wolf lady and Dullahan knight bond across a long journey across the wilderness. Then check out Dullahan's Heart at chimeratallulah.itch.io/dullahans-he...

I rewatched the show last year, and it was a ton of fun. The show is very stupid but in a way that's mostly charming. Especially if you find a version of the show that still has all the pizza hut product placement in it.

Movies is pretty slim pickings, but @tellofilms.bsky.social has been releasing a lesbian Christmas romance movie every year for a few years now. And of course the selection of lesbian romance novels with happy endings is vast. (My own books included.)

Beatrice Mckinsey @oroboro.itch.io · 22/09/2026

If you want shows, there's a huge GL boom happening in the asian drama sphere, especially Thai dramas. The Yuri Visual novel scene is similarly thriving, with all sorts of wholesome romances. Regular video games its a bit harder to find, but there are some good indie games with lesbian romance.

If you look at yuri manga, rather than just the stuff that happens to get an anime adaption, the vast majority are generally pretty wholesome and have happy endings.

The second chance she always dreamed of is only a reality away.

Theo's best friend and her first crush, Summer, died tragically when they were teenagers. Ten years later, Theo has a new job and is returning home. The scars of that tragedy run deep, but she's determined to face her past and move on.

Until a wish on a comet catapults Theo into an alternate reality where she and Summer never became friends… and Summer never died.

Summer falls in love easily, even though it's rarely returned. As a dropout, former bully, and gas station clerk, she knows she's not really a catch. When Theo shows up on Summer's doorstep, she offers the bed in her tiny apartment while Theo tries to find a way home. It's a small sacrifice, but then Theo looks at her as if she's the most important woman in the world, and Summer wishes she could give her so much more.

As they grow closer, Theo discovers there's a time limit on this miracle, and she has to make a choice. Can she really abandon her family and friends to stay with Summer?

Or will she have to say goodbye to Summer for the second time?

Picture of a book cover. The title reads "Fractures Between." The Author reads "Beatrice Mckinsey."

The cover depicts two women sitting back to back, a jagged white line separating them. The woman on the left is white, has long dark hair and glasses, and sits alone in a darkened wood. The woman on the right is white, has short red hair, and sits alone at the side of of a lake, during a Sunset. Their fingers cross the white lines and intertwine with each other, implying that they're reaching out for each other across a split in realities.

When I see people talking about how "yuri is for men" I wonder if they're talking about like, yuri hentai doujins? Because that's like the one space that is that, but its also like searching lesbian on pornhub and then decrying the lack of good lesbian movies.

My bottom dysphoria wasn't even particularly bad when I had surgery. I was fine with it. It still feels good, and simply /right/ in a way that still surprises me sometimes 4 years later. Also the sex is way better.

what could be relatable about a woman who neuters her own emotions in order to fit the mold and perform the violence her society expects from her even while she desperately searches for a spark of humanity within her and in connections with others and then when she does they kill her for it.
