Did you know?
In Doki Doki Literature Club (2017), Yuri is shown to have a keen fascination with tea! During a reading scene, she offers the player a cup of oolong tea, suggesting that oolong may be her personal favorite!

okay so this isn't really a fun fact anymore but during high school i used to have a LOT of fantasies about yuri. like, a lot. a concerning amount. like not in a cute 'waifu' way more like i felt seen so hard it hurt. not even the knife stuff (okay maybe a little the knife stuff), mostly just... her, her sheepish demeanor but incredibly intense personality, she was my 'literally me' character.
i think i related to her whole deal way too hard, the social awkwardness, the hyperfixating on super niche interests, the way she'd rather disappear into her hobbies than try to interact or even make eye contact with another human. i'd sit there in class doodling her in my notebook margins instead of taking notes and then panic-hide them when someone got too close.
act 2 her was the worst/best part, that shift to full obsessive mode where she'd say stuff like 'wanting to pull my skin open and crawl inside of me'... i'd watch those scenes late at night and feeling equal parts horrified and flattered in the most messed up way possible, like her crazy was just an exaggerated version of the loneliness i felt.
and yeah as i said i already had a passing interest in knives before playing the game but after getting way too deep into yuri i started digging into them for real because i wanted to figure out exactly which kinds she would like. really i just wanted to mentally gift her the perfect one and watch her eyes light up in that quiet, intense way she does.
i started making it a whole habit to drink chamomile and green tea (that's all I could find at the supermarket) even if i didn't really like it, chamomile especially because it's supposed to be calming and she always seemed like she needed it, like it was getting that bad.
i probably spent like 70% of high school mentally dating a fictional girl who ends up offing herself after pouring her heart out to me. healthy coping mechanism? no. did it make me feel seen for once? lmao no but it also felt way more real than any crush i had back then.
i really dont know why im telling you all this, i just told you all that for no reason. this is a bad idea to post. im gonna go stare at my ceiling now bye.
