How does one interact with literally any version of the Vampire Chronicles without dunking on it. I do not understand any other way to live.

🔥JUDGEMENT🔥
Here is my Claudia for the #IWTVtarot deck :D It was SO fun to be a part of this and see what everyone created!!
I was inspired by Rider–Waite’s Judgement and the second half of Interview with the Vampire (book). I’m really happy with what I came up with <3 I was VERY ambitious with this, it took me FOREVER but it was so worth it ;u;

What Role Are You Playing? Communication, queerness, and neurodivergence in Yuri is My Job!

Hime and Mitsuki happily hugging; inside, their expressions are confused and frustrated respectivelyALT

Content Warning: discussion of ableism and queerphobia

Spoilers for vol. 1-5 of Yuri is My Job!

Miscommunication is one of the oldest and easiest narrative devices in fiction. The tragic lovers die because of a miscarried message; the protagonist becomes convinced that they’re hated because they didn’t stay to eavesdrop for ten seconds longer; the reveal of a minor misunderstanding suddenly has the power to torpedo an entire relationship. For some, the concept is so overused that it’s automatically linked with contrivance and bad writing—and no genre faces this criticism more than romance. That’s what makes Yuri is My Job! so refreshing. In the process of building a will-they-won’t-they story, it explores the gendered, neurotypical, and heteronormative expectations that are built into social interaction.
