i continue to be fascinated by the existence of okane ga nai. it is so utterly and beautifully quintessentially stereotypically yaoi. like i think that if you grabbed an antifujo and pulled their definition of "yaoi" out of their head, like scribblenaughts style, it would literally just be a copy of okane ga nai.

me: *has completely forgotten about twittering birds never fly due to not being attracted to yakuza stories and not liking the art style*

a reviewer i trust: *describes it as "a combo between ai no kusabi and banana fish*

me: OH GOD DAMMIT DO I HAVE TO TRACK THIS THING DOWN NOW

watching hitorijime my hero and realizing when they get to the Obligatory Rapey Seme Scene that TRIES to do the "i'm resisting my desires...please don't come any closer...i'll Do Things To You..." that LWJ has basically ruined me for any further exploration of seme/uke tropes in conjunction with rape kink and societal homophobia. i can't go back. anytime anything tries to do anything similarly i'm just like "it wasn't as good as when mxtx did it" and i can't enjoy it. i just can't.

As a longtime nitro+cHIRAL fan, it will never stop being funny that people keep bringing up DMMD as the absolute pinnacle of problematic BL content, because like? Mink? You think that guy's the epitome of romanticized rape and abuse? Have you ever even played Shiki's route? Do the kids these days not know about the slut ending? Have they never played Sweet Pool? Room No. 9?

Not all of us queers had our queer awakenings to perfectly SJ-friendly pure media! Some of us had our queer awakenings when we watched Gravitation and Ai no Kusabi and you're just going to have to deal with that!

Okay, so here's an elevator pitch for a new BL comic idea:

The protagonist is a relatively normal prettyboy, working a perfectly normal job and living a perfectly normal life. He's a bit snarkier than all of his coworkers and family and isn't on very good terms with the latter. He's probably got light hair, usually blonde, but sometimes a very light brown.

One day, he meets his love interest, who is some type of supernatural being, usually a very powerful one, most likely the ruler or heir of some supernatural domain. He's got long hair and wears flowing robes. He's not usually super "monster boy" looking- his inhuman traits are restricted to an unusual hair or eye color, maybe pointed ears. He's both insanely powerful and devoted to his love interest, as well as being what the kids call "whipped" and kind of an idiot when it comes to the human world. Much comedy is drawn from the contrast between those two traits.

The dynamic between the two leads is driven largely by the love interest's extreme, melodramatic affection for the hero and the hero reacting like a normal human being to proclamations of "I HAVE CHOSEN YOU TO BE MY BRIDE, FOR WE ARE DESTINED LOVERS, AND I SHALL MARK YOU WITH A SUPERNATURAL BRAND, MY BELOVED!". Eventually, it's revealed that the hero and the love interest have some sort of tragic past, usually involving reincarnation, and they have to fight as forces both supernatural and human try to tear them apart.

Seems like a relatively specific description, right?

Well, this is the premise of 6 BL COMICS, BOTH JAPANESE, CHINESE, AND WESTERN, THAT I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FOR A WHILE.

looking at all the old-school BL i used to read in my ill-begotten youth is like, "okay, this was an utterly foundational part of my self-actualization as a genderweird bi, and it's probably also why i have a mindbreak fetish."

I've been reading Doshitemo Yaritakute Gakuen and can I just say that I'm in love with these hopeless bisexual idiots?

I think I've gathered enough of these photos to fill a funny Dreamwidth post, so here goes!

(Like, one of these pictures is NSFW, so I put it behind a cut.)

Does anyone know if "vampires eat flowers" has some sort of mythological meaning in Japan?

I've seen it for the third time in vampire BL, and I'm wondering if this has any significance, or it's just a common mistranslation.

Yes, random people on the internet, this discussion of whether the death penalty is moral is very interesting, but why the hell is it happening in the comments of a zombie BL anthology of all things?

I'm reading some vampire yaoi, and I think that I came across the new World's Cutest Uke.



Is he not the cutest thing ever?

I'm on Chapter 28 of Sex Pistols, and:

Is there anyone in this universe who's meeting with their future spouse DIDN'T involve sexual assault, kidnapping, or bodily harm to one or both participants?

Sex Pistols, I appreciate your effort to make a badass seme character, but his name is literally Joshua McBear.

I am not joking.

Uke: Wahh! My body feels strange! What's going on?

Me: I don't know, it might have something to do with the fact that your boyfriend is giving you a handjob?
