You Can Smooch Tho?

Season 1, Episode 9: ft. Kristine

The boys-- Err girls are back in town! Kristine, cutie expert and Lullaby's closest companion of over 16 years has finally entered the ring! The two go through their earliest memories of BL experiences together and Lullaby exposes both herself AND Kristine by realizing she was far too bold in her youth. Kristine talks about what it was like to be a yaoi fan in a family with an open door policy, and the duo touch upon the topics of toxic relationships, queer bating, and getting into yaoi simply because the music, as they say, SLAPS. Meanwhile, Lullaby screams about how she believes people who think Yuri on Ice wasn't clear enough, are in denial.
