never getting over dnp loving my manga tattoos when i met them

Not to open a door, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. But I always saw dan as the more dominant one between the two and it’s so funny cause I know he is also babygirl, but I feel like a large part of the fandom always made him out to be a submissive bottom??! It kinda makes me wonder how that made him feel seeing all that talk back then,when in fact it might have been way different than the overall assumption. Like the stereotyping was UGLY!Cause again what indicating factors make a person a bottom? Again the discussion and speculation is not really important but they just gave us a little insight today and I would love to hear your take on it some more!

no worries, i think just to Close The Door i'll make this post and my old posts unrebloggable lol.

more under cut

i only mention this briefly in my original thing about this, but i really do think a big part of this stereotyping comes from the fact that the phandom was (and arguably still is) largely afab people whose initial views of male queerness in particular came mainly from BL and slashfic. and like, that is me literally describing myself lol.

i was about to write an entire dissertation on the history of BL and romantic fiction and its roots in misogyny but LET ME NOT..... short story is, because young fic writers were being inspired by other fic writers who were inspired by yaoi manga authors who were inspired by romantic fiction of olden times, those old tropes of an Aggressive Masculine Dominant Top and a Passive Feminine Submissive Bottom have just stayed in the fic community arguably to this day.

if we add on all the extra layers of these fics being RPF, read by fairly young teens, about dnp who were Actually Gay and in the closet and there being evidence out there of their queerness, and obv all of this taking place in the early 2010s when queerness in media was few and far between, it leads to a lot of people projecting their own ideas of dnp that were absorbed thru fiction and stereotypes onto the real dudes themselves.

in terms of sexual relationships, especially queer ones, it's almost never cut-and-dry. i know i'm joking a lot but i don't actually claim to know anything about what their sex lives are like lmao, i just like talking about this kinda thing because it's just interesting how these tropes that i'd like to think people nowadays realize can be quite harmful stereotypes are still kinda perpetuated until dan calls phil a power bottom outright lol.

It's a reference to Shinji Ikari and Kaworu Nagisa from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Explaining the lore would be hard without explaining the whole plot, but basically Shinji is the main character. He's a teen boy who struggles with low self-esteem and depression. He believes that he's not worthy of love. Mostly because of his abusive and neglectful father. Then he meets Kaworu, who we later find out is a being called an angel (i won't get into that bc it's complicated). Kaworu is very affectionate with Shinji from the start. He flirts with him and tells him he loves him. He even kisses him in the manga. He's the first person who makes Shinji believe that he's not incapable of being loved. So...you can see the parallels to dnp. Although kawoshin is tragic yaoi and dnp very much aren't thankfully!

20 of my fav bls under the cut :)

initially, i was going to call it my "top 10", but it's not my top ten, it's just favs that i really love or think you (sara) would also enjoy. so it's just 20 "random" favs. if you (general) want, i can upload the 200+ long list and even include "reviews" of my favourites, but i'll only do that upon request. also here's my blanket rec for mxtx's works. svsss is my fav. i'm very easy. thank you <3

20 OF MY FAV BLS:

sotus is very dear to my heart. i watched it right before i went to university, so it really set that mood for me lol it's not a perfect story, the audio is shit at some parts, and the acting was sometimes stiff, but when the show hit, my fucking god did it HIT. of course i roped all my friends into watching it. it was based on a novel, but the novel didn't particularly stand out to me (sorry). there's also a manga now (3 vols) but i'm just loyal to the show, y'know? it also has a sequel, and that one made one of my friend cry (i actually had to pause the show lol), but for me, the first season is what's rly stellar. (lakorn / rewatches: 4? 5? a lot?)

sasaki and miyano by syou harusono is such an easy read, with lovely art, cute characters, and the softest, sweetest romance. it makes me feel like i've been hit by a car, then the car backed up and drove over me again. sasaki is the light of my life (and also if i looked like him, i'd never shut up. and i project just a little bit too bc oh he just like me fr), and everyday i think about making him my pfp. i owe syou harusono my life. i want to say more about this bc it rly is my fav manga perhaps of all time but that also means i can't say more about it LOL (manga / rereads: 6)

the cat proposed (bakeneko katatte sourou) by hayane dento is quite possibly the best manga i've ever read. the writing is so beautiful, and it's a really relatable and inspiring story for me. plus it's got catboys. *motions to my dnp catboy pfp* but in all seriousness, it's a genuinely great story that squeezes my heart and leaves me in tears (manga / rereads: 5)

doukyuusei is a certified bl classic. i've not read the entire manga series, but i've got the anime film saved to my laptop. that was another thing i roped all my friends into watching, and yes, everyone was gagged (animanga / rewatches: 4?)

koimonogatari by tagura tohru is incomplete, and the "love" part isn't there yet, but my fucking god. i think i just picked it up for funsies at the bookstore, but man was i unprepared. it's not a fun read by any means, nor is it easy, it's actually pretty brutal, but it's a good story, so i felt i should include it. (it is one of my faves) (manga / rereads: none bc i will kill myself.)

summer of you (kimi wa natsu no naka) by furuya nagisa changed me. it was one of those manga that was in my to read list for a really long time, but i just never did it. when i finally did, i totally regret putting it off. i think i cried. it has a sequel (summer with you), and that was good too, but that first one just really got me (manga / rereads: 1)

fools by yeongha has an art style i will forever be jealous of. the original, that is. i'm sure the remastered version is great, and probably the one i should read, but i'm just way too attached to the original and the art is (in my opinion) way better. the story is fun and sweet, and i read it at another formative time in my life. *jazz hands* (manhwa / rereads: 3)

my darling signed in by dimang and new lung. if there's one thing about me, i'm gonna read a video game catfish story. this manhwa is so fucking ridiculous, but i love it. it actually gets pretty dark, which took me by surprise the first time i read it, but it's not between the main cp, if you're worried about that (manhwa / rereads: 3)

dasadanan by herb mandu also has just lovely art. i can just stare at it for ages bc i'm so obsessed. also there's side gl, and i love those two girls so damn much. the story is very easy to read, fluffy, and it's just good feelings all around. it also has some really silly extras. (manhwa / rereads: 4)

history3: trapped is so... it is also dear to me. the main couple is funny and cute; however, it's the side couple that really gets to me. they're so ridiculous and fun, and the actor for zhao zi is an acrobat? does acrobatic dance? i'm not sure exactly, but they wanted to showcase that so he'd just be doing some random gymnast shit for no reason and it's so funny. and jack was made in a lab for me, so. y'know. (drama / rewatches: 2, about to be 3)

glasses cloth and playlist by gwak jonpil was recommended to me by a friend i believe, and i'm so glad i read it. it's another easy read and also very ridiculous, but when i say something is "ridiculous", that's usually a huge compliment. i LOLed at, like, every other panel. the main cp is so damn ridiculous, and i adore them. (manhwa / rereads: 1)

starting with a lie by liang azha has the softest art i've ever seen. that manhua is like a warm hug, if a warm hug also had you gritting your teeth and clenching your fists because GODDAMN JUST GET TOGETHER FOR REAL ALREADY! i love it. oh, but i don't like qiu tian. sorry. (manhua / rereads: 2)

how to survive as a villain by yi yi yi yi is... look, i'm sure it has flaws, right? every story has flaws, but wherever they are, i did not see them. i mean, it's a little bit ridiculous at times, but again, "ridiculous", and the mc was transmigrated into a once-good now-trashy harem novel. and he's also smart but oblivious. bound to be a little bit silly. but also this novel ripped out my heart and stomped on it. and i thought it wouldn't happen with the manhua, but i cried then too. what the hell. i really enjoyed this story, and i think it's what got me into transmigration stories in general :P (danmei / rereads: 2)

a shoulder to cry on by dongmul. okay. OKAY. this is not a "happy" story to most. also the ending without the extras/epilogue is bittersweet to ambiguous. the issue here is that I LOVE ENDINGS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!! this story is so damn good and i like the art a lot and god, some of the quotes? every time i reach certain scenes i have to pause and stare at the wall because no fucking way. it's just too good. i should go ahead and warn that the couple doesn't have the healthiest of dynamics and their relationship starts bc one of them lies and accuses the other of sexual harassment, so. i'm just letting you know now. but i let myself have toxic yaoi. as a treat. tbh to me it's not that bad, but i know everyone has different intensity levels, so. (manhwa / rereads: 3)

never understand by bbong is an... interesting read. arguably more toxic yaoi, and everyone at times can be kind of awful and annoying, but i think that's fun. sorry. i vividly remember reading this for the first time. for some reason. also, as with a good amount of manhwa that i read in my more formative years, i like this art style. (manhwa / rereads: 1)

semantic error by j soori and angy kim is a lot more graphic and hardcore (sex-wise) than the kdrama, which makes sense, but like... DAMN! my toxic trait is that every three panels i pause and go "hey does anyone else think these guys look like jaedo?" and the sniper that's supposed to shoot me any time i bring up rps lets me live because i'm objectively right. the characters are so damn infuriating, but i like watching car crashes, so it's alright. plus the art is good and, well, i never said i don't ship jaedo. *glass next to me explodes after a bullet cuts through it* whatever! (rereads: none bc it ended not that long ago. but i'll probably reread it soon)

no.6 by asano atsuko and here comes all the haters being like, "oh, that's not bl!" "that's more than bl!" "[some more dumb shit i don't care about]!" suck my pussy. i don't care. i loooove the novels and hope we get a printed official english translation. people are right to say the romance isn't the focus, but it's there, and honestly, i love plotty shit. i've heard it's supposed to be the "happy version" of banana fish or whatever the fuck, but damn if that's not a fucked up version of happy. i sobbed my fucking eyes out (novel & animanga / rereads: 2)

snow fairy by serizawa tomo. i'm not gonna lie, i don't remember this story, but on my big list it has a heart next to it, and i feel like i cried when i read it. i've said i've cried about like half of these, and i cry when i see something cute or when i think about my blorbo or when a song is pretty, so that means nothing. but this one really got to me! i think it was just a simple story with lovely art. it aches, maybe. actually, i've just found my initial review, which reads: "im so miserable....." (rereads: none, but i'd like to reread it asap)

bj alex by mingwa. insert loud and disappointed "ooh" from the crowd bc really, phil-lesterfan? i thought you were a scholar? with taste? LOOK. i know this is a basic manhwa, and i couldn't give a rat's ass about the side cp, but ahn jiwon somehow became pookie. it is agonising, though, 'cause like i said, i don't care about the side cp, but oh my fucking god, it feels like everyone else only cares about them. shoot me. also the side cp is into bdsm, but you can skip over their shit honestly. (rereads: 2)

aien catharsis by oshima kamome was another manga that'd been in my tbr list for ages. i really like how the story feels. aaaaand i just reread it and ah. i see why it affected me. (if you can guess what line stuck out to me, lmk, i'd love to hear it heh) it's historical fiction and has lovely art. tw for sexual assault, but it's not between the cp and it's also not shown. (manga / rereads: 2)

like i said, i have a lot more favs, so if anyone wants the full list, just ask. or if you don't want the full list, i can give rec lists for certain genres or just manga or just danmei, etc, etc. i know i'm in batman hell right now (ah. western yaoi....), but i've been fujoshing since i was like... ten. okay this is of course way longer than it should be. hope u enjoy if you read any of these ^_^ <3

[phanfictioncatalogue]

hey there! searched the faq but not sure it was there, theres this older fic theyre at boarding school and its the fantastic foursome, not just dnp, like chris and pj are also main characters and they all have a good amount of screentime. i remember it being really idyllic and substantial multi-chapters

I’m pretty sure this is the one you’re describing…

home is where the heart is. (ao3) - orphan_account

Summary: 16 year old Daniel Howell had always felt out of place in his dad's fancy apartment or under the Singaporean sun. Life was not bad, but being the son of a British expatriate banker divorcee with commitment issues meant that there was never a home.

Inspired by the only constant in his life, a similar aged British youtuber by the name of Phil Lester, Dan decides to move to his supposed homeland Britain on a whim, in the hopes of escaping his bubble of isolation, and maybe find the place where he truly belonged.

Somehow Dan lands himself in one of the few notorious all boys boarding schools in Britain, one that has bizarre traditions, vicious inter-house competition and way too many attractive boys; and a roommate who had been Dan's best friend all along, even if Phil Lester hadn't known it.

Dan finally found home.

But there’s honestly a lot of these that fit the description, so here’s a few if the first one is wrong!

Hate Me Closer (ao3) - MySecretsX

Summary: Two boys, Dan and Phil, are both from reasonably different backgrounds. Dan's an English scholar from a lower-class family, whereas Phil's parents paid his way into the school with no trouble. But, they'd probably find they weren't so different if they gave each other a chance.

Auburn Independent School for Boys has eight houses, totalling 128 students per year. It's not an easy life for Dan or Phil, but sometimes there's fortune even in the worst of events. It just takes some wits to see it, and maybe a love interest or two.

Ignited (ao3) - Sinncity

Summary: AU superpowers. The lights had been there for as long as Dan can remember. It's apart of him. But sometimes the burning and itching under his skin won't leave until it shines bright and illuminates the sky.

Dan's life changes forever when he is trust into a world of magic and mystery inside the walls of the Nova Institute for the Exceptionally Gifted and Talented.

Nothing Burns Like the Cold (ao3) - worriedpeach (skeletonflowers)

Summary: Phil Lester is ‘special’, having the power to manipulate water with just a flick of his hand. Because of this, he was transferred into the special school, Dahlia Academy, which was built to harbor students with magical abilities. Here, he meets Dan Howell, a cold and distant pyromaniac who doesn’t get close to anyone. (Based loosely off of the manga, Gakuen Alice).

Roommates (ao3) - br0oketrout

Summary: Phil Lester is the new student at a private, prestigious boarding school. His roommate is the infamous, hot, and rather hostile Dan Howell. This is going to be one interesting year.

omg i feel like ive never talked about my "dnp should pay us more" thing on tumblr, ive made like three twitter threads abt it lol

i was just thinking about like, for tabinof they used fanart right? and they had it as a submission based thing so you could submit your art for a chance to get in the book. but obviously no one whose art was put in the book were paid for it or at least not that i am aware of. i know the person who drew the manga was, but not any of the submissions. and like, thats still labor that people were doing for dan and phil, i mean i guess it's one thing if it's just submissions of old art, but im certain people were creating art for the sake of it maybe getting put in the book, or like the art they used in the fanfic reading videos as another example. like obv i am biased as a very broke artist lol but i feel really strongly about artists getting paid for their work and in retrospect it felt weird thinking abt dnp even unintentionally exploiting (often underage) fan labor.

OK I KNOW THAT IS TAKING IT TO AN EXTREME I DONT ACTUALLY THINK ITS THAT BAD but i do think my point still stands about like, creators ought to compensate artists if theyre going to use their art for their own content. but thats just meeeee

[adorkablephil]

Do you have a favorite superhero? Were you ever into comics or a casual fan before?

I got into comics through nerdy boyfriends who were into them, actually, so I’ve read quite a few. I have a fondness for nerds, and nerds have a fondness for comics. :)

I don’t know if she counts as a superhero, but she’s definitely a hero in my opinion: Katchoo (Katina Marie Choovanski) in Terry Moore’s Strangers in Paradise, which is an amazing comics series I highly recommend. It’s about two female friends and addresses issues of body image, homosexuality, unrequited love, and lots of other stuff. It’s fascinating, with complex characters and well-developed plot arcs. Katchoo is an incredible bad-ass with a violent past who is deeply in love with her lifelong friend Francine, who (over the course of the series) wrestles with the nature of her feelings for her friend. Their relationship is nuanced and beautiful, and Katchoo totally kicks ass.

I’m not sure if he counts as a superhero, either, but he’s certainly supernatural: Dream/Morpheus in Neil Gaiman’s renowned Sandman series. If I had to pick one comic series that is my absolute favorite, this would be the one. It’s epic in scope, mythic, dramatic, heartbreaking, beautiful, funny, quirky, and simply phenomenal. If you haven’t read it, you should. I don’t care if you read comics or not, read this!

Oh! If I had to pick an actual superhero to be my favorite, it would be The Tick. He’s hilarious. I enjoyed both the comics and the animated tv series from about a gazillion years ago, which is available on DVD on Netflix, but not on streaming. On streaming, they only have the live action series, which I never watched.

I’ve also been a fan of some manga, especially the work of Rumiko Takahashi (Maison Ikkoku, Ranma ½, InuYasha, etc.). When it comes to Western comics, aside from The Sandman and Strangers in Paradise, I’m also a huge fan of Bill Willingham’s Fables (a play on fairy tales whose premise was totally ripped off by the tv series “Once Upon A Time”—the comics are WAY better). And if you haven’t read Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis volumes 1 and 2, go read them now!

Someday, I plan to read the Buffy and Angel comics, but I haven’t gotten around to them yet. Maybe Buffy is my favorite superhero? I was always more of a Spike fan, and he starts out as a villain, though he does eventually become heroic. I find his story a lot more interesting than Buffy’s.

I don’t read a lot of stuff in the superhero genre, but I have been known to dabble with The Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimate Spider-Man, both pushed upon me by my husband. I enjoy them, but don’t read them obsessively. Due to my husband’s interest, I’ve actually watched a lot more superhero tv shows than I’ve read comics: Smallville, Arrow, Jessica Jones, The Flash, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Legends of Tomorrow, and Daredevil. And I’ve seen most of the Marvel superhero movies. I’m just not really big on the superhero genre—it’s more my husband’s thing than mine. I indulge him by watching the stuff with him, and I enjoy it, but I probably wouldn’t watch any of it on my own.

So, yeah, I guess I’ve read some comics. :)

Currently craving: sugar, always. it’ll be my downfall
