    Instead of drawing I spent my free time on FTL last days. Mantis cruiser is the real weapon of extermination, especially type A. ^^'
    But after incineration of the Rebel Flagship I finally started to drew something. There was a conversation about another winterscape, so I did it before snow start to thaw.

    Here is the bunch of characters from Touhou Project game series. From the top: Letty Whiterock, Hong Meiling and Komachi Onozuka. I like two latter red-haired characters because of their 'capacity for work' and infinite kindness.

    By the way, have you ever heard about Hakkoda Mountains incident, when entire battalion of Imperial Japanese army was trapped in a blizzard and lost? Here is short article on wiki: [link]
    It was the movie about that incident, but I could find it nowhere.

    And some hot, steamin' yuri, for good measure.

    For the same reason I see people complain how fujoshi seem to think men can't be friends without being gay. I absolutely don't understand why people see images like this one and automatically presume yuri is going to happen when there are absolutely no indications of such contexts.

    They get lost and have to share body heat in a cabin to survive.
    Because why not.

    What I meant is the double standard people have in the regards of the perspective on anime homo:

    If a fujoshi ships 2 random male characters with no canon romantic tension, that fujoshi will get frowns most of the time.

    If you see a guy ships 2 random female characters with no canon romantic tension, that guy gets upvotes and cheers.

    That's some ugly perspective our anime society have right there.

    I like yuri because I like girls and sometimes I like good romance stories. Also girl on girl is hot and I rather like graphic yuri as well.

    I sometimes like non-graphic yaoi, too, if they are good romance stories. I don't like yaoi porn because I'm not into guys boning each other

    If someone's tastes differ from mine, cool. If I come across yaoi stuff, I either laugh if humorous or skip if sexual. If I come across yuri stuff, I enjoy it either way. Not my business if someone prefers it just the opposite way. My buddy's GF once teased me for liking yuri. Turns out she was a fujoshi and much more ashamed of it than I was of my affinity for yuri. The tables were turned. I had no problem with her liking yaoi, I just took vengeance for her giving me hard time for liking yuri. (This was all in friendly banter.)

    This picture works fine with or without implied sapphic themes, so I see no reason to plaster them on it.

    I wouldn't plaster them if I don't see these homo fans being so insistent on these subjects so much, it's annoying how a girl think guys are automatically gay if they only shake hands once, and it is equally annoying when guys insist on putting yuri in everything they see with 2 or more girls in it.

    2 Girls laughing together? Yuri. 2 Girls playing basketball? Yuri. 2 Girls going on a double date with their boyfriends? Yuri. 2 Girls having gun pointed at each other's heads? Yuri.

    It's obnoxious, I myself am not a fan of either homo genres but the works presenting these genres themselves are scarce enough for me to be able to ignore without any problems(I can enjoy, but not ship yuri/yaoi only if they are used for comedic purposes and I'm not too much of a fan for hetero shipping fandom either, if that helps). The constant homo fans constantly shouting things like this on anime sites however, are much harder to skip over.

    I think you misunderstood me.

    What they are doing is exactly what I meant by "plaster on". Not you, (for the lack of better word), hating it. There's no homosexuality or even homoromanticism, implied or explicit, in this picture, so making some up and forcefully applying them in its comments is pointless. Why turn this picture into imaginary yuri when there are so many lesser pictures to save that on? Your dissatisfaction about people turning mountain hiking into lesbianism is totally justified, even if I don't mind people doing that. Just because yuri is awesome doesn't mean it has to be everywhere.

    Tl;dr I agree with you even though I like yuri.
