A few things to consider:

Please try to keep your thirst to one comment.

Please try to limit the number of gifs and videos you post, if you choose to provide some supportive material. (We recommend any more than one gif/video that you can link for anyone with a slower Internet connection.)

Please link and mark anything that is NSFW, especially if you're posting gifs/videos. (We'd also appreciate trigger warnings for the big triggers. If you think it needs a trigger warning, please add it.)

Please remember that this post may contain triggering topics due to canon content that may or may not be warned for, so please view the content at your own discretion.

You can also use this post to ask for canon recs. We recommend advising what you're looking for (a particular medium or a canon that's so many hours long?)—and it wouldn't hurt to mention what kind of ship dynamics/tropes you're into since that's why we're here!

We won't be moderating this page as closely, but we will screen/freeze threads as needed. If you need to get in contact with us, please reply to this comment.

Thanks to

pspspspsps revolutionary girl utena enjoyers, have you ever seen juri/shiori and thought to yourself? wow, i wish this was completely different? boy do I have a ship for you.

Canon: Tropical Rouge Pretty Cure

Ships: Shiratori Yuriko/Takizawa Asuka

Media: Anime

A summary of the canon: Tropical Rouge Pretty Cure is a new-ish entry in the PreCure canon inspired by mermaids and motivation. Over the course of a year, the newest senshis of the sea are chosen by Laura La Mer who wants to become the next Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom which is under threat by a mysterious group of evil doers sapping the motivation from humans to power their cannon they want to fire at the Mermaid Kingdom.

What do you love about this ship/these ships?: There's a lot of really cute Tropical Rouge ships but I thought I would focus on Yuriko/Asuka as the hook with it I enjoy most is how its like a fluffy happy G rated version of Utena's Juri/Shiori. Two girls who were broken apart by a third force (tennis, in this instance) who slowly reconnect. The backstory between Yuriko and Asuka, where they went from ace partners in tennis to bitter ex-friends was gripping, especially with the identity porn in the mix with scenes between Yuriko and Asuka's alter ego, Cure Flamingo, makes for a lot of fun as they reconnect over the series. Just an excellent arc for these two lesbian birbs.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I'm not sure yet! Probably something using tennis as inspiration though.

Content warnings: None.
