- Zoey: Hey, Julia, I’ve heard you’re a real sports ace. Would you like me to show you how to play tennis? I have rackets and everything…
- Julia: Sure, that sounds like a lot of–
- Gilligan: Oh my dear little heart, what am I allowed to see here?! The first shy approach!? The tender bud of a love soon in full bloom!?
- Gilligan: This is going to be soooo Yuri!
- Julia: To Rockland Street, please!
- Driver: This is not an Uber, Ma’am.

Next up: Zoey plots for an r/NuclearRevenge.
This is the point where the nerd needs to get shoved into a locker… by the girls, too, for extra humiliation.
Whatever! I love the Kawaii FACE.
I wonder if the person who wrote Novil those twenty e-mails isn’t actually called Gilligan. That would be such a great touch from Novil. 😀
Ugh, this kid just gave me nausea with that. Fujoshi were already REALLY bad, but this is just making me cringe so much my face hurts.
I was expecting “taxi” not “uber”. Ah, how times have changed.

百合 – pronounced yuri, literal translation Lily (as in the flower). In Japan it was adopted by fans for stories about “girl love” stories, most were about the romantic aspects and not the sexual. It wasn’t until it was imported by the west that it was mainly about explicit relationships, though that happened in Japan as well obviously, just not nearly to the degree that it was assumed in the west.
Is “rockland street” a reference to something or just, presumably, where she lives?
Just feel like it should have been a reference, like “Get me to the KWK house” or “Get me to the Todd house” or possibly “Get me to the nearest church or police station”

Not around where I live it hasn’t, its a very usa thing to call a taxi an uber, kinda like calling it a “black cab” or “hackney” in uk. Or a Kangaroo in Australia (jk jk)
@ Sylfa:
Well a “black cab” is a specific vehicle designed specifically for taxi work, which was, and possibly still is, required for a licensed taxi in London, but in the rest of the country normal saloon cars can be used.
Ah he ruined it! The shipper sunk the ship before it even sailed!

Yuri is Japanese word for Lesbian.
Oh wow, it’s almost like I already said it’s super creepy.
Goddamnit! I trusted you, Gilligan! You were supposed to be the chosen one!
