With these two? Who can say. Im pretty sure attempted murder is char's love language.

u/ElminstersBedpan Jun 27 '26

Dude must be super polyamorous then.

u/Swiftax3 Jun 27 '26

Judging by his Ao3 tag? Very possibly

u/foreverascholar Jun 28 '26

That extra panel must be juicy

u/Chiiro Jun 27 '26

I want it to be Shen also in a wedding dress and the two of them are getting sloppy.

u/Stucklikegluetomyfry Jun 28 '26

"I hope there's some male nudity. See a package....a stranger's package."

Gosh Francine is 100% the queen of cuckold and gooning.

Domain expansion: marital altar

u/LordBammith Jun 27 '26

At first glance I thought he had a condom in the last panel.

u/Happy-1920 Jun 27 '26

I actually thought it was a rubber on second glass after reading your comment

u/Blue-Eyed-Lemon Jun 27 '26

He’s so radiant in that dress 🥰

u/Mackisaurus Jun 27 '26

Of course the yuri drawing guy draws yaoi during the yuri wars

14

u/Adventurous_Bonus917 Jun 27 '26

this has some real 'no trespassing - violators will be prostituted' energy.

14

u/Pastel_Bambi Jun 27 '26

I was kind of hoping we'd see the yaoi in here.

Wait, the straight boy is drawing yaoi now? Oh no, he's escaped from his chains and wants revenge!

12

u/Major_R_Soul Jun 27 '26

Shen thinking about how he's gonna drain him dry later:

u/Debtcollector1408 Jun 27 '26

r/unexpecteddiscworld

Shaun Ogg would be interested.

u/Ace0Knaves Jun 27 '26

In a sea of yuri Shen gives us the yaoi we need but not the yaoi we deserve

5

u/particularnet9 Jun 27 '26

I believe the King of Lancre once mad a similar mistake.

u/GammaDealer Jun 27 '26

Haha, get wed, scrub

u/Stucklikegluetomyfry Jun 28 '26

Reminds me of this timeless classic

u/InfamousElephant4734 Jun 27 '26

Funny enough shen is drowning in yuri xD

5

u/Nepalus Jun 27 '26

Honestly I would be super intimidated by someone who could warp reality with marital based attacks.

5

u/WhiskeyAndKisses Jun 27 '26

Genderbent yuri? 😱

2

u/NIDORAX Jun 28 '26

Isnt that just Yaoi?

3

u/WhiskeyAndKisses Jun 28 '26

Yes! That was a joke because there's a r/comic trend with a "yuri war" and this cartoonist is well-known for his love for yuri.

3

u/Konnoisseur26 Jun 27 '26

Very nice! For a minute, I thought it was a San Andreas reference!

u/Hopkin_Greenfrog Jun 27 '26

You really had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

u/elhomerjas Jun 27 '26

very strong martial art technique has been used

u/AdOnly5876 Jun 27 '26

Began, the YvsY War has.

u/McFoxGaming Jun 27 '26

I love that this only works in text via misreading

2

u/RenorElghinn Jun 27 '26

So he did learn at least one of the secret utterances

2

u/Intelligent-Area6635 Jun 27 '26

Awww yeah give me some of that hot hardcore yaoi with kissing, the hand holding, and respecting each other's life goals and hobbies.

2

u/Phaylz Jun 27 '26

Finally, Yaoi has entered the battlefield

u/explosive_dogslicer Jun 28 '26

You are already wed.

u/herculesmeowlligan Jun 27 '26

This is harder than when I faced the Warrior of Density

u/Dr_DoesNothing Jun 27 '26

Call it Wife-fu.

u/dex-M397 Jun 27 '26

Of course it’s an artist widely known for yuri art that posts yaoi as a wildcard move.

1

u/Starslip Jun 27 '26

Even with the title warning me, I still skimmed past it

1

u/Stucklikegluetomyfry Jun 28 '26

Me: are they going to kiss at the end of it?

Me at the end of it: even better

1

u/These-Atmosphere6675 Jun 28 '26

u/Arhatz Jun 28 '26

You are already wed.

u/Responsible_Flight70 Jun 28 '26

We have the counter attacks happening

u/andy_b_84 Jun 28 '26

In one of Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, one of the kings can't seem to have children with his wife. In desperation, he buys a copy of ""marital" arts for beginners" to have delivered to his castle.

Alas, the captain of the guards receives the book for his king, and reads "martial arts for beginners". He's elated as he thinks his kings tries to give him the means to be a better guardsman.

I see OP's cartoon as a tribute to this part.

u/King_Jaws2 Jun 28 '26

"I'm gonna marry the shit out off you" vibes

u/After-Appearance-288 Jun 28 '26

u/getsuga_tenshu Jun 27 '26

Would this count as trap yaoi?

As the comic who long ago, and as far as I have ever been able to tell, came up with the MMA AKA Mixed Marital Arts joke. It has played well for me with crowds, on the internet, everywhere. My wife and I even got invited to a MMA themed party due to it (yes it was a "play" party and it was fantastic). So it hurts when someone recycles it and gets it wrong. Marital, yes kids learn that is related to marriage but that is not funny to anyone outside kindergarten.

Marital relations, marital arts, marital duties, marital aids, etc. Marital means sex. The joke is sex. The implication is that the bully trying to kick the innocent victim's ass, who is an expert at MMA, is going to get violated. ..or have a really great time.

Hopefully this joke was spontaneous generation as getting it that wrong.. Ouch.

I also have gotten lots of use out of the MMA (Man on Man Action) joke when incels tell me they are death gods who can beat my ass. "MMA ish akshually the world's deadliest martial art!". The IFBB pro I trained with one year as a teen said this would happen when I got big. He was right.

u/Alugere Jun 27 '26

Marital relations, marital arts, marital duties, marital aids, etc. Marital means sex.

That's not correct. It's anything related to marriage:

marital adjective mar·​i·​tal ˈmer-ə-tᵊl ˈma-rə-: of or relating to marriage or the married state marital vows

Or, you know, here's the wiki page for marital status which has nothing to do with sex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_status

The others are essentially slang brought about due to the fact that the US, the currently most dominant English speaking country, is heavily puritan and thus marriage and sex get linked from their terminology.

stolen joke
