Can I ask, why do you love MLM romance better than Het romance? What makes them better? I did not mean anything negative, and I know everyone have their own like and dislike but I want to know your thoughts....

Also what do you think that made Asian MLM (Danmei, BL manga/manhwa/manhua/tv series) romances different than western MLM romances?

Out the gate with the fujoshi allegations!

Hahaha I joke. I feel like, from my blog, it's very reasonable to make that assumption. I think I watch and recommend mostly het-romance but, there are a number of reasons why MLM ships cause some serious brainrot and frequently appear on my page (this is a SatoSugu, BakuDeku and AshEiji specific call out).

I won't say that the ships are better but as to why they're more pervasive?

From a shonen standpoint, the protagonist and deuteragonist tend to be the the most developed and nuanced characters with more chemistry due to the complexity of their relationship typically driving the plot forward.

Additionally, the development of the relationship will generally have more texture than the flat afterthought of the MC with the FMC they are canonically paired with.

Typically, because these characters are both men, while you'll see some toxic stereotypes (specific to actual BL and yaoi which are usually ick inducing), both characters will generally have the same amount of agency which isn't always given to prop female characters. Remember, kids, the fridge trope is harmful for everyone.

Because these ships aren't always intended, there's that delulu element of "will they, won't they?" like Ross and Rachel from Friends. The DRAMA. Also, they are generally more tragic and, what lingers more: happiness or pain? It's pain. Pain by a long shot. And the fodder to rectify that pain is endless (thank you, fix-it fic authors). There are of course, also ways to twist the knife, too (thank you, sadists).

Subsequently, the resonance of these ships stems from the much stronger emotions you have when things are gut-wrenching. But, also, I am actively reading the ongoing series' of JJK and MHA so of course that part of my brain gets poked more frequently than series' that have long since been completed.

Let's not forget that there's a disproportionate number of shonen and seinen series' that ultimately get full anime adaptations. Off the top of my head, the Ouran High School Host Club fandom is still waiting for a second season. ⌚️👀 HoriMiya and Sasaki to Miyano were heavily abbreviated before getting second seasons, a refreshing shock to the system.

Specifically, of the three main ships that litter my blog (see above), I happen to viscerally relate to one or both of the characters in question. Again, we can chalk that up to the depth of character and my own flaws.

Stylistically, there's a big difference between Western and East Asian media across other genres too. For instance, after only being exposed to the dramatic musical scores in Western horror, there is something truly unsettling with the absence of build up or sound in East Asian horror right before something big catches you unawares.

When it comes to romance (if we're focusing on MLM, it still applies), I think the big difference is the intimacy. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely some series that have a similar level of physical engagement as a Western romance. But, with a lot of stories, you'll go a whole series holding your breath for a hand hold or a hug and it's delectable. The absence of the physical creates so much more depth in those telltale looks characters exchange or the moments of silence when they're alone in each others' presence (awkwardly as hell, might I add).

By comparison, in Western media, you're going through the whole gamut without as much nuance for the layers of non-physical intimacy. Or it's something that gets developed post hookup which is realistic to an extent. But, considering real life hook up culture these days, I think it makes the before stand out as a lot more endearing so maybe that informs the preference.

All that to say, this isn't an endorsement of modesty politics, at all. Life is a healthy mix of both and I'm all about comprehensive experiences. People will gravitate toward whatever speaks to them at whatever point they are in their life. Do you have a preference and, if so, what do you think informs it? Respectfully, I appreciate your curiosity in reaching out.

Sign (Manhwa)

Genres: Comedy, Smut, Romance, Slice Of Life, Yaoi, Webtoons

Status: Completed

Author: Ker

Favorite Character: Yohan

Favorite Chapter: Chapter 82

Plot Synopsis:

There are a few unusual things about Cafe Goyo. Number one, their coffee sucks. Number two, their customers never order off the menu. And number three, Yohan, the cafe manager, is deaf. So when Soohwa joins as a part-timer, though he is not expected to learn how to make good coffee, he is asked to expand his sign language vocabulary beyond the words, “higher,” “pay,” and “please.” But when Yohan offers to give him private lessons, Soohwa is reluctant. Not because he doesn’t want to study, but because he has a “hard” time around Yohan. Like, literally. He gets hard. Whenever he hears Yohan’s deep, sexy voice. (from a manga site)

First of all, damn all those bad part-timers for what they did to Yohan. I hope Gyoon made them suffer so that it will take them a long time to get a job. Even in real life there are a lot of people like that. Just because some are disabled doesn't give you the right to treat them that way. Ugh! It pissed me off just thinking about what Yohan had to go through.

Speaking of disabled, this is the very first manga/manhwa I read about deaf or any disability. For me, this is really unique and interesting. I was right, I enjoyed reading it. I can't wait to hear Yohan's voice in anime someday and finally hear his deep, and sexy voice.

Amazing art, great characters, and the story is unique, and nice. Yohan is the cutest and most adorable character especially in chapter 45. SPOILER!!!!!!!!!

...Yohan was pretending to be hurt that Gyoon didn't want to be his taste tester. He knows that Gyoon has a soft spot for him. Who could even say no to this cute big bear? Cause I can't just like Gyoon.

Gyoon is kind of twisted at first glance. He's straight forward and looks like a gangster. His favorite saying is, "I'll bury you." However, he also has a cute side, especially with Yohan. He really treats Yohan as his little brother who he raised. He is overprotective and sweet. I like Gyoon and his partner Jihye, but Yohan and Soohwa are a more adorable couple.

I recommend this manga to all yaoi. Just a warning, there's a lot of love scenes, as in a lot. If it’s not your thing, take caution. Lastly, please support the authors, if you can.

Oh, hey, clone trooper numbers. I've heard there's wank about this so let's keep track.

Halleburton: "I propose the Republic purchase an additional five million clone troopers."

No indication of what the current numbers are but Bail at least doesn't say "are you fucking insane", so it's probably not ten times the current amount

I thought this Rodian was dead? Is this a timeline thing? I guess so

This assistant's name (Teckla) doesn't rhyme with Padme's :0 disloyal??

>"We cannot afford ammunition" ok so ammo exists

Again, it feels so weird that the politicians are bleating about how awful the war is when we've been seeing the clones on the front lines experiencing basically a light-hearted action show.

Like...we COULD be having direct, visible consequences showing how bad the war is when we see the soldiers, but instead the soldiers are cannon fodder to enable cool Jedi flips and the comfy politicians are the ones going 'oh nooo so many people are suffering in war :(' c'mon, mate, figure out what you want to say about war already

For real, even this episode about politics shoves Padme into fisticuffs because Guns Are Cool, fuckin' pick one

Droid cops once again

Padme inventing the revolutionary strategy of "what if you talked to literally one poor person", which apparently nobody else in the galaxy has tried before. You see what I mean when I complain about fake conflict? Sometimes the politics are more rounded, but then there's cases like this of "everyone else is just fucking stupid". Padme's victory doesn't feel all that earned when it's a case of everyone else being a Scooby Doo villain.

Security with the sperm-helmets standard to the Rebellion. Alderaanian design?

THAT ENTIRE HAIRPIECE IS A HELMET?! DEEPEST FUCKING PLOT TWIST

This solar sail design of Asajj's ship originated from the Tartakovsky Clone Wars, as far as I know

Oh, sick, they finally went back to the Tartakovsky-style hakama outfit for Ventress as well. Really does look so much goddamn cooler

These official subs spell Tyranus with one 'n', but I was under the impression it was Tyrannus?

--aaand by the time Ventress is solo they managed to have her ditch the cloth again. Disappointed but not surprised

All these bitches cosplaying Psylocke

[I could not remember Psylocke's name]

[ah yes, thank you]

[if you're not here from comics she's a white British lady who ends up taking the body of a Japanese woman, yes, I KNOW]

....................at the risk of being Comic Book Guy how did Asajj get a kyber crystal to build her own saber if they were stuck on one planet

Oh yes, this plan is INCREDIBLE. Sneak up on him and poison him so you can safely sneak up on him. I can't see this possibly failing

...how come all these women have normal heads but Talzin is a conehead

I guess this lady is the primary customer for that lightsaber black market

DOOKU HAS A YAOI BED

I am truly fucking losing it, what is the purpose of this massive bed

He's got monogrammed jammies, god (but no blanket, because, again, cloth instantly kills the TCW engine)

He's...really dumb enough to mistake them for Jedi? Really?

Talzin addresses the women as sister, but they call her mother

>Dooku sources his assassins from small, women-led organic Dathomir farms

viiscaria replied to your post “in this house so-called “fujos” are loved and respected”

What now. It's fetishization of gay men. Am I missing something? It's no better than straight men fetishizing lesbians omfg, the only misogyny is women being ridiculed more than men for it.

i mean first of all, it was literally coined by the notoriously conservative, homophobic, racist 2chan as a deliberately misogynistic term to describe women who were “too rotten” for marriage because of their interest in or even empathy for gay men, so it absolutely unequivocally, unarguably is incredibly misogynistic and homophobic from it’s very conception, but i digress: once upon a time the word ‘fujoshi’ in the west largely referred to cishet women who were childishly or uncomfortably obsessed with m/m content, sometimes while holding real life homophobic or at the very least anti-lesbian views. i specify “in the west” because like so many related words (yaoi, bara, BL vs geicomi, etc) the meaning of the word fujoshi is twisted/lost/misinterpreted without the lens of queer japanese culture through which to understand it particularly since it was reclaimed, but that is a whole other conversation. 

anyway, these western fujoshi were essentially strawmen who barely existed in any significant number (don’t mistake over-exposure to supernatural or teen wolf or whatever in fannish spaces to be reflective of like...anything but those fannish spaces), so then “fujoshi” has since just became an interchangeable pejorative, first for “crazy yaoi fangirl”, then “woman who likes stuff including gays” and now currently pretty much “anyone who creates and consumes m/m content that isn’t enough of a gay man for my approval”, deliberately ignoring it’s relationship with the rest of the LGBTQ community (multiple studies and surveys have shown that most m/m content not written and consumed by gay men is written by other queer people), with the safe exploration of sexuality for all genders, and even the role its had to play in furthering lgbt rights (which often gets an eyeroll from people but gay media becoming more popular and mainstream even among presumed heterosexuals has definitely helped drive the growth and acceptance of the LGBTQ movement, especially in Japan for example). 

basically “fujoshi” has lost both it’s original japanese meanings and it’s original assumed english meaning, since “homophobic cis female gay fetishists” are about 1% of the people who get called fujos. now, it’s just yet another way of calling (presumed) cishet (presumed) females “dirty degenerate stupid childish homo-loving cunts” but like, in a cool clouty way that maybe doesn’t blow so many dog whistles. young stealth fash and neo-cons LOVE to throw it around. it’s even liberally used by honest to god open homophobes to shut up gay supporters, for example if a woman brings up a lack of gay rep in a games series, etc.

anyway, i’m rambling but i’m not especially eloquent or academic so i recommend looking into it if you care. this is a twitter thread that has a couple of sources and good discussions but there’s a lot more around the internet on it.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/Mo Dao Zu Shi

Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Historical, Mystery, Romance, Shounen Ai/Yaoi Other Unofficial tags: Smart Protagonist, Shameless Protagonist, Smart ML, Love interest falls first, Devoted Love Interest,  beautiful couple, power couple, wuxia, interesting supporting characters

Other things: there is an Manhua & Donghua out, all posts tagged by name here

Official Summary: As the grandmaster who founded demonic cultivation, Wei WuXian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him.He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the sects—Lan WangJi, his archenemy.This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei WuXian slowly realizes that Lan WangJi, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei WuXian than he is letting on…

My Thoughts: First chinese novel I stumbled upon and I fell in love with. To me everything about this story is absolutely perfect, from characters, to plot, romance, mystery and worldbuilding...everything was so unique and beautiful. And the translation group Exiled Rebels does an excellent job portraying it in english as best they can. There are some hurdles tho: for example if you haven’t read any chinese novels before you have to adjust to terminology a lot- especially names (everyone has like three names). So if you��re like me who stumbled into it with no idea what expect you’ll probably get confused a lot but if you stick out you’ll get used to it and rereading the first few chapters later after adjusting is probably a good tip. Unlike other BL/Yaoi stories that I’ve seen (mostly japanese manga) the romance actually blends and makes sense; and not fetishized or forced, even if you don’t like the genre it won’t get in the way of the story (especially with china’s censorship).

Status: Complete  Other things: Manga-(Discontinued?) 

Official Summary: I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs’ is one of the three largest religions on this continent.As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human trashes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

My Thoughts: Actually read this years ago (5-6?), and I always thought it was a japanese novel but I guess it isn't(?)-anyways not important. This story was absolutely hilarious, you won’t meet a more entertaining guy.  The contrast between how he’s forced to act as the leader of the religion- belevont, kind, smiling, pure- is the total opposite of his real personality so much so that it gave a shock (of pure delight) cuz of the drastic inner and outer faces. There’s 12 knights in total ,each is totally unique and you get introduced to them super fast. There is different conflicts that occur, that fall on Grisia’s ( the mc) shoulder to solve as he is the leader and while it starts off lighthearted, in the end some serious stuff occurs. This is a very warm hearted story about brotherhood i think overall. (Also heard that Grisia falls into the legendary trinity of shameless protagonist: Wei Wuxian from GDC is one of them and I agree lol). Very unique storytelling, it twists all kinds of classic tropes and plays with them, overall a very fun read.

Official Summary: Everyone in the City of Jing thinks that bestowment of marriage between Xian Junwang and the daughter of the Yi’an Marquis House is to insert a fresh flower into manure.Xian Junwang was that fresh flower and the di daughter of Yi’an Marquis House was that manure that was not liked.It is said that what is heard is false, seeing is believing. Who knows what the truth really is?

My Thoughts: A really nice story set in Ancient China, and in my opinion the best one written. The story has both the female lead and male lead on pretty equal field in terms of their relationship, you won’t see any weak-willed person in this couple. This story also portrayed realistically the difficulties of living in Ancient China as a woman, by showing us many different kinds of people. The villains make you feel complicated emotions even when you hate them, which shows you great storytelling. No-one is excessively stupid and the mc is just stomping over them with her “cleverness” in this story which I liked. The MC is actually very lazy and this gave the story a very relaxed feel, which lead to time just flying by. I’ve just recently reread it which rare for me to do.

Other things: Adapted to a drama: Love 020

Official Summary:What is it that makes a man fall in love with a woman at first sight? Appearance? Aura? Wealth? NO, when campus prince and gaming expert, student Xiao Nai first saw Bei Wei Wei, what made him fall in love was not her extraordinary beauty; but her slim and slender fingers that were flying across the keyboard and her calm and composed manner!!! Embarrassing, no?At the same time, gaming expert Bei Wei Wei was on the computer methodically commanding a guild war, and won a perfect and glorious victory despite being at a disadvantage; completely unaware of the fact that cupid is nearby.Soon after basketball player; swimmer; all-around excellent student; and game company president, Xiao Nai, uses tactics both on- and offline to capture this beauty’s heart. Therefore this romance slowly bloomed.

My Thoughts: This is a very quick, lighthearted story. It gets straight to the point with no drama, if you just want a nice, quick romance to read then I highly recommend. When I was debating whether to read it or not, one of the reviewers on novelupdates said it had a drama, and I usually hate drama’s but they recommended it, so I went to check it out before I started reading and I surprisingly loved it. I usually hate cheesy but they managed to pull it off real well, so I was squealing and cringing at the same time (lol), it’s probably because the actors are really good looking so you can’t help but let it slide. The drama added some drama not a lot but some to the story. When I went back and read the novel I realized how quick it was compared to the drama. I recommended both honestly, if you’re looking for some fun.

Official Summary: In his past life, Ming Yu struggled in the European and United States fashion circles, eventually becoming the well deserved king of the catwalk.After dying from a serious illness and being reborn, Ming Yu was surprised to find: Huaxia stars shone brightly, there were successful names everywhere!In this better world, on a more vigorous and brilliant stage, the first supermodel tries to reproduce the glory of another world! Interviewer: May I ask Mr Xi, this year Ming Yu said he would surpass you. As the number one global supermodel, what is your opinion on this? Xi Ze: This is a bad question. My family has very strict rules. Home Owner Ming Yu: …….  The pair of black-hearted husbands will sweep the fashion industry, conquering the world. 

My Thoughts: A really fresh story, I never got bored. It focuses more on the MC and his rise as a supermodel, and sprinkles in the romance with ML. While reading it (before it got completed), it felt like me and other readers were cheering on the MC as fans as well, which was a lot of fun. I’ve read some other showbiz transmigration stories but I got annoyed or bored real fast, this one I found real fun, no matter how many days until the next chapter you could pick it up and feel happy. Some things people might not like: there a lot of photoshoot scenes (he is a model) so some might get tired of that, but they go by pretty quick. While MC was the number one model in his old world, it doesn’t make him OP, he has his own flaws and he grows a lot which makes him more interesting.

Official Summary:  This is a story that follows the courtship between a stone from Hell and a god from Heaven that begins in the underworld and spans for three lifetimes in the mortal realm.

My Thoughts: Honestly was suprised how much I liked it. Despite the MC being naive, and ready to throw it all away for the ML, you can’t hate her. This a very fast story (about 15 chapter and 3 bonus stories), which adds to its charm. If it was longer I might have not liked it as much. There are overwhelmingly positive reviews about this story on novel updates which made me give this story a chance and I agree with them. If you like romance definitely check this out.

Official Summary: Six months ago, tens of thousands of black phantom towers appeared all over the world, floating above the cities. Chemists, physicists, religious people… all of them could do nothing.Six months later, people became used to the towers and no longer paid them attention.One day, Tang Mo saw a flying insect crash into it instead of going through it. The next day, a sharp and clear child-like voice issued an announcement to all humans. “Ding dong! November 15th, 2017. The earth is online.”  The black tower’s three iron-clad rules: 1. Everything is explained by the black tower. 2. 6 o’clock to 18 o’clock is the game time. 3. All players, please strive to attack the tower.

My Thoughts: You won’t find a story more unique than this. I doubt there’s anything similar to this story. Something that might come close might be the manga Tomodachi Game, but that's only the doing games for survival bit. I don’t know how the author came up with this, the games are so smart, that you may feel like you’re getting smarter by the end of it or that you’re IQ is hopelessly low. And it’s not the fact that rules are ridiculous and don't follow logic either, when the answers are revealed they make sense.. Honestly reading this I’m glad something like (probably ;) ) won’t happen because I doubt I would survive. I have a real admiration for the author for coming up with this. The story is good at keeping you wary and on edge that something is going to happen at any moment. Some issues?: The romance was so so slow burning that it became a background character, and there wasn’t a big payoff moment like the author gave us this weird analogy when they finally did the deed, that I was burning with indignation, just thinking about it pisses me off, but it probably has to do with the censorship in china. Also there were too much straight explanations that kinda got annoying but could be ignored. I think with how well the author set up the survival element that you could ignore the flaws pretty quickly. So glad I found this novel.

Official Summary: A top hacker was chosen by the Lord God to be reborn into countless worlds, always as an expendable villain.With no free will, every world became a dead end. Every one of his lives ended tragically. Finally, after wresting control of the Villain System, this ace hacker decided to enact revenge. Even if his very bones were rotten, he’d choose to occupy the very heights of morality, if only on the surface.Thus, he would change his fate as an abused slag.

My Thoughts: If you’re on novelupdates you’ll hear about this story at some point, it has become infamous on the site. And for good reason, this is the top written System transmigration into multiple world stories, or just system stories. There a multiple worlds and each one has it’s own flavor you’ll definitely have your favorites. It’s a very fun story to read and if you’re new to system stories like I was when I read this, you’ll inevitably compare all others to this one.

Official Summary:  Shen Miao, the Di daughter of a military lineage, pure, amiable, quiet and yielding, foolishly in love with Prince Ding, threw herself into the role of a wife. After assisting her husband for six years, she finally became the mother of the world (Empress).She accompanied him to fight for the country, flourished the country’s territory, took risks to become a hostage in another country. When she returned five years later, there was no place for her in the Inner Palace.The beauty in his arms smiled brightly, “Older sister, the country is stabilized so, you should retire.”Her daughter met with a violent death and her son the Crown Prince was deposed. Her Shen family who sacrificed themselves for the country and the Emperor, not a single one of them were lucky enough to escape. With the change of one dynasty, everything was overturned. Her clan perished and she had to mourn for her children.Shen Miao never thought that being a married couple who have gone through trials and tribulations and mutually assisted each other was just a stage joke to him! He said, “Seeing that you have followed Zhen for twenty years, Zhen will grant you an intact corpse. You should thank this kindness.”Under the three Chi (1 chi = 1/3 meter) of white silk, Shen Miao made a malicious vow: In the time to come, she will take part in each and everyone’s end!Upon rebirth, she returned to the time when she was fourteen, when the tragedy had yet to occur, her family was still alive and she was still the pure, amiable, quiet and yielding Di daughter of a military lineage. Relatives hiding a black heart, Elder and younger (female) cousins are ruthless and malicious, the new Yiniang is like a tiger watching its prey and the disreputable man who wants to repeat the events?Her family must be protected, the huge enmity must be avenged, the Imperial seat of the country must also be a part of the trophy. In this lifetime, let’s see who can beat the others!

My Thoughts: I’ve tired to read numerous novels with the reincarnating to get revenge trope and I’ve never been able to complete them for variety of reasons but ultimately it’s because they end up sucking. This novel however is like a ray of light for this trope. Whatever way you think she’s gonna resolve something you’ll never guess right. I’m always pleasantly suprised. That’s something I can say for the whole novel it’s always surprising even with the current chapters with story almost at a close we readers just got shocked yet again. You’ll definitely experience a variety of emotions watching the story unfold, right now I’m pulling a napkin between my teeth (please author put us out of this misery already T.T). I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Official Summary: From infancy to maturity, what Ye Zhou dislikes the most was “two”.The reasons were: he was ranked second at home, he had been forever ranked second at school, no matter how diligently he worked and tried, he couldn’t shake off that “second” curse. What was more exasperating was that, at University, not only was he ranked second, but even his appearance that he was proud of had to be classified as second best! Why can’t I obtain the first place!The eternal second will rise!Then, Ye Zhou, after his vigorous efforts finally rises and the result was… the first became his boyfriend.This is the story of a man who has been forced to be “second” and how he became the first, most popular.Protagonists: Ye Zhou, Shang Jin.

My Thoughts: Cute, Fluffy, Funny. As you can see there is no drama tag so if you’re looking for an explosive story this is not it. But it is a very realistic story especially in regards to the acceptance of the couple how it differs for the younger generation vs. the older generation. The story is very natural and the characters believable. If you a cute story this is it.

Their very first wedding night, she kicked the Emperor down from their bed and he sought out his concubine instead. This completely disastrous start was only the beginning of their eventful life together.

My Thoughts: Although not especially memorable, I enjoyed reading it. It was fun watching the couple act petty to one another. Honestly their relationship reminded me of boys pulling on pigtails to get the attention of their crush. There are a lot of funny and fluffy interactions, made for a fun read.

Top Five Yuuki Ono Roles

In honour of Yuuki Ono’s birthday, I decided to make a top five role list. 

As usual, for me to put a character on this list, I would’ve had to watch at least a couple of episode of their given series with their character in it or at least a good number of clips that showcase them or something. It’s really by my own bias discretion. Since a lot of good roles don’t make it onto the list (because I don’t watch all their roles), I would like to give a few honourable mentions before we start the top five.

Honourable Mentions (That I Haven’t Watched):

Josuke Higashikata (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure):

Okay, I still haven’t watched Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure yet, but I want to watch it eventually. I’ve seen clips and stuff, but I only know that you shouldn’t insult this guy’s hair. That’s about it. I want to watch it just to see some of my favourite seiyuu being badass though. 

Taiga Kagami (Kuroko no Basuke):

Here’s the second most popular Taiga in anime! I just count Taiga Aisaka as the first for obvious reasons. I just have a habit of avoiding sports anime. All I know is, you got yourself a crap-ton of puns and a gay rainbow with a huge exaggeration of basketball (gosh I hate basketball and volleyball because of my experience in real life which obviously have no relation to me being a puny wimp or anything). Anyways, here’s a character whose name isn’t a colour pun.

Shogun (Gintama):

He appears in episode 83 for the first time. I haven’t made it there yet. I do know his fate, but let’s just leave it at that. I’m not ready for the serious side of Gintama. Let’s just keep it at making fun of Shinpachi, please. But seriously, the clips I’ve seen make me think that Shogun is going to bring some good comedic relief with a darker twist. Let’s see how that goes.

Bonus:

TOP FIVE ROLES

5. Karasawa (Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou)

I can already hear the back of my mind going, “This is such a small role. This doesn’t deserve to be here.” Small character or not, I seriously liked this show. The only reason why I gave it a seven out of ten instead of an eight or nine is because the comedy for me is always hit and miss. Sadly, there were quite a few misses which I can’t just ignore. But don’t get me wrong, I really liked this show. If I were to change anything, maybe give this guy some more screen time, and give the high school girls some more good stuff. Honestly, all of them were kind of bitchy, but I would like to see what other high school girl stuff they can include (without them being bitchy). But seriously, Karasawa had some really funny moments. The cast was one of the things that made the show so funny, and I wouldn’t want to read the web manga for that reason. It just wouldn’t be the same. Here’s a clip of him mewing. Here’s the whole playlist.

4. Pin-senpai (Arai Kazuichi)

(That was literally the only gif. RIP)

Another supporting role? Yeah, he has more supporting roles than lead roles in the anime I watch. This character is really simple, but he’s a nice breath of fresh air because hear me out, this series is a cheesy rom-com. To have a character that isn’t involved in relationships (so far) is really nice. He’s only in for the humour, and I like that just fine. He does a good job with it too. Here are some clips of Pin.

3. Masayuki Hori - Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

(I don’t know about you, but these are OTP goals)

He’s technically a supporting role, but he’s kind of a main supporting role if you get what I mean. Hori is one half of the comedic duo that’s Kashima and Hori. They break down the stereotype that only girls are the “tsunderes” of relationships, and it’s really funny while doing it. I loved watching Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. I still rewatch some of it to this day. Even if my favourite characters are Seo and Mikorin, I have to applaud the rest of the cast because this is a colourful show where the cast is really what makes the show great. Clips of Hori

2. Ashiya Shirou - Hataraku Maou-sama

I didn’t enjoy this anime as much as people said I would. My sense of humour is weird. I didn’t like the actual storyline. I found the overarching “supernatural” elements really weak, and so is the romance for that matter. The real good stuff from this show is in the comedy (where they spent a good chunk of their time). He’s the housewife while the demon king is the breadwinner who works at McDonald's (call it what you will, that place is McDonald's). He’s committed, devoted, and I really wouldn’t be surprised if someone on Tumblr made a yaoi/gay ship out of this. Somehow, Tumblr never fails in finding some weird ships that I didn’t know existed. Here are a couple of my favourite scenes here and here and here. They’re less than a minute each. I think one is about five seconds. And one of them has subtitles that go by fast, but it doesn’t matter. That priceless scream from Osaka Ryota and Yuuki Ono during the five-second one though.

1. Kaname Tsukahara - Kimi to Boku

(I COULD BARELY FIND A GIF ANYWHERE FOR THIS. I HAD TO GO OUTSIDE OF TUMBLR FOR THIS. THIS SHOW NEEDS SOME MORE VIEWERS)

Why does nobody seem to watch this show or read the manga? Why is this manga on hiatus? How long has it been? Is the mangaka feeling better yet? Mangaka need to take better care of themselves (I shouldn’t be the one saying that with the habits I have). But seriously, would you look at that? Here’s a role where he’s the protagonist. Kaname is our glasses protagonist who seems to be a good student, but he still hangs out with his group of weird friends who he has known since childhood (for the most part). Kaname is different from the rest of them, and they definitely do a lot to make sure of that, and I really liked the way that each of the characters is portrayed in this show. The cast is kind of stacked. Not going to lie, I watched it to hear Kouki Uchiyama playing a quiet character with some toned down edge. It’s so simple yet so nice to watch.

LGBT comic book rec post:

Just trying with some more popular/well known-titles and then trying to spotlight some comics from publishers other than Marvel and DC fewer people seem to know, that are either still ongoing, have been revived or are newer. A few aren’t that current, but are recommended anyway.

DC:

·         Batwoman: Batman’s cousin, Kate Kane, ex-military and a lesbian.

·         Gotham Central / DC comics (see Renee Montoya)

·         Harley Quinn: DCs current run of Harley Quinn has a lot of Harley x Ivy

·         DC Bombshells mostly queer ladies fighting Nazis and afterwards other forms of totalitarianism too. It’s also including Alyssa Yeoh as one of the batgirls (she was first introduced as Barbara/Batgirl’s roommate and friend in the new 52)

·         Mother Panic: It’s in Gotham, with yet another young, traumatized, rich vigilante. Except this one is a lesbian trying to get her revenge on the people who tried to turn her into a weapon.

·         Midnighter (and Appollo): Midnighter and his husband Apollo were Wildstorm’s version of Batman and Superman and part of the superhero-team Stormwatch with an adopted daughter Jenny Quantum. A few years ago, DC has bought them and introduced them into their universe. Midnighter has had his own titles, a title with Apollo and has appeared in other comics, mostly as one of Batman’s associates.

 DC Vertigo:

·         Fogtown

 Marvel:

·         Angela: Angela from the Spawn-comics, bought by Marvel and reintroduced as a lost Asgardian/Thor’s sister. She’s queer and has had two short runs (Asgard’s Assassin and Queen of Hel) and appearances in other comics. In love with a trans-woman.

·         Iceman: If you know the X-Men, you probably know Bobby/Drake Iceman. Currently there’s his younger version walking around, and Marvel pretty much went the “you were gay all along” route, which is a retcon, but oh well, comics. He’s currently got his own comics and appearances.

·         New X-Men: Has Anole in it.

·         Runaways: Always was queer friendly with lesbians and genderbending. Currently making a comeback.

·         Young Avengers: Also, always was diverse and just got queerer later. Queer boys and girls.

·         x-Factor: Think mutant detectives in a mutant ghetto *trying* to be responsible adults while dealing with stuff. Later has Shatterstar and Rictor become a couple.

 Image:

·         Hack//Slash: Hask//Slash is really fun horror-satire comic that goes through horror-tropes while slowly establishing its own lore. The main characters are Cassie Hack and Vlad, who together kill slashers (zombie-like serial killers) and other things. Cassie’s confirmed bi in-world and that’s been treated normally throughout.

·         Mind the gap (Side character but actually really interesting, idk, I enjoyed it so I share. ON A LONG ASS HIATUS THO.)

·         Motor Crush: Biker gangs and also kind of mystery, but hard to explain. By the team of Batgirl Burnside.

·         No Mercy/ Image Comics (Has a trans boy and deals with pretty hard stuff tbh)

·         Paper Girls: Late 80s, teen-mystery

·         Pretty Deadly: Kind of horror and western

·         The Wicked + The Divine: A bunch of teenagers get revealed one after the other as representations of gods and goddesses to live 2 years in fame with power and money and then die. They’re also supposed to die saving the world somehow. They also do loads of awful shit, but it gets called out as such by other characters and some twists you really don’t expect. Bi, gay/lesbian, trans, pan, poly and ace main characters with some overlap.

·         Wayward: Rori Lane’s part Japanese, part Irish and grew up in Ireland. Sometime after her parents divorced she follows her mother to Japan only to not properly fit in, and realize folk tales and demons are real, while figuring out her own power and running into some teenagers in similar situations. Things escalate a lot, it’s awesome.

 Top Cow

·         Sunstone: Lesbian BDSM, but it actually has a really sweet story and characters and portrays healthy relationships. Especially compared to other stuff out there.

·         Angelus, Artifacts: Top Cow has its own universe like DC and Marvel, in that universe are the characters Danielle Baptiste and Finch. Danielle starts out with the Witchblade and gets introduced there and later becomes the Angelus host. Danielle was Finch’s dance instructor. After the reboot she switches with Finch, they’re a couple that got back together even after a universe reboot with new jobs (Danielle became a cop and Finch became dance instructor). They briefly had their own book Angelus, but appear as some of the Artifact bearers in bigger titles like Artifacts or crossovers. Basically, the artifacts are a number of powerful artifacts linked to the world’s balance. The Angelus is light and at war with the Darkness and then you have the Witchblade as balance and other artifacts like the coin of Solomon or the longinus spear and stuff.

 Zenescope:

Robyn Hood: Now, I really love Robyn Hood. She comes across bi and though I doubt Zenescope will give her a steady relationship let alone with another for the long run; her stories have been very queer friendly with first Lady Marian falling for her and her later also meeting women, who’re with each other or interested in her.

 IDW:

·         JEM: This generation’s incarnation of JEM and the diamonds. Kimber and Stormer become couple and the Misfit’s Blaze is a trans-woman. Very inclusive and sweet titles overall. More for younger audiences.

·         The Infinite Loop: Time traveling shenanigans

·         Satellite Falling / IDW: SciFi

·         DC and IDW also published a collaborative, beneficial comic titled Love is Love in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting.

  Smaller and Independent Publishers:

·         Destiny, NY: X-men-esque school/college for girls with specific destinies in a magical-girl fashion. However, the lead heroine has already fulfilled her destiny early on and is at this stage in early adulthood where she’s still figuring out what to do with her life. It also has very sweet side-characters with their own little arcs and is gay all over.

·         Enormous

·         Heathen (Vault Comics): Nordic mythology, a girl seeks rebellion against Odin.

·         Joyride (Boom Studios): scifi with a bunch of teenagers and a spaceship

·         Kim & Kim: Queer punk scifi, trans-inclusive.

·         Princeless : Raven the Pirate Princess / Action Lab (A MUST READ. IM NOT KIDDING. GO AHEAD. READ THIS. ITLL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.)

·         SLAM & SLAM: The Next Jam: A Rollerderby comic, inclusive overall.

·         The Spire (Boom studios)

·         Welcome Back (Boom studios)

 Show continuities:

If you liked the shows, just check these out. Korra’s Turf Wars is just getting going with a new villain and the latest Xena comics, just don’t have to keep it at subtext only. Some continuities just turn subtext into text.

·         Xena (various publishers, current run by Dynamite Entertainment)

·         Legend of Korra (Dark Horse)

·         Charmed Season 10 (Zenescope)

·         Adventure Time is also around in comic-form and more kid-friendly.

Recommended especially for Steven universe fans.

  Other than that, there are loads of characters across comics who’re queer, like Daken, Northstar, Mystique or Pied Piper or actually most of DCs leading ladies for being bi etc. This is just more of a comic-rec list, not a character-list. Feel fr

kyle-with-an-o replied to your post “Incidentally, about 99% of the hue and cry on that little...”

I love how ppl are more upset about a post that says maybe respect lgbt ppl, than they are at actual receipts of the shit we have to deal with.

It’s... pretty horrifying. Surprising? Not really. But horrifying... yes. I think we talked about people on LJ openly stating that they like slash/yaoi but that they don’t support “homosexuality” irl, which... is basically what fetishism boils down to, no? “I will immerse myself in this group’s struggle and suffering as long as it’s all fixed by a good dicking in the end. But show me evidence of real lgbt ppl being called slurs, being harassed and point blank being told to get out of communities dedicated to lgbt fiction and... who cares, right.”

I haven’t been on LJ in 8 years. You’d think people would’ve grown a bit, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the flip side, I did gain an unexpected number of followers overnight, so, assuming it’s on the back of that post... I don’t know what it means exactly. I know it doesn’t help any of the ppl getting bullied on my dash, but maybe it means that not everyone is indifferent and maybe that’s a start?

Update: Using this little feature to track reblog chains, I ended up blocking 3 people off the back of that post. THREE. And all the negativity was gone. One of the nastiest comments was from someone who took issue with some of my video game affiliations two years ago and it’s quite clear from their vitriol that they were trying to get ppl to send me hate. That post has 48 reblogs. A couple are my own, but what I‘m saying is, at least 40 are from ppl who got it.

TL;DR: It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when your words are being twisted and ppl are calling you names, but it’s almost always a loud minority -- sometimes, a tiny one. Just keep that in mind 😉

[elfyourmother]

Okay I’m home here are my thoughts on yaoi the new Spidey with very minor spoilers

I’ve heard this described as a Spidey movie for people with Spidey fatigue and that is definitely true. a big part of why is that they very wisely dispense with the boring ass origin story we all know. he’s already a superhero. he’s just learning to cope with it. this was the single smartest thing they could have done and already set it apart not just from the Sony movies but from superhero movies period.

the other reason at least for me why the fatigue factor didn’t play into it is this is imo the single most realistic depiction of NYC in a Marvel movie period much less a Spidey movie. This is literally the first time that I’ve sat to watch a Spidey who inhabited a NYC that my native outer borough NYC ass actually recognized. It’s not just the physical locations either, though that helped (minor spoiler but he spends basically no time in Manhattan). and it’s not just the racial diversity either--it’s a kind a diversity that isn’t just for show. 

his high school reminded me so much of the specialized science and engineering HS I went to here. it could have easily been in the same category as the Big Three (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech). I found out that Tom Holland actually went undercover under a fake name to Bronx Science for research bc he knew nothing about American schools being British and now so much about that movie makes sense. In general it just felt really grounded in reality in a way Marvel movies never do. Peter goes to a bodega--and the bodega has a kitty!! His high school and his hood both are incredibly diverse! There’s like no white kids in his immediate social circle! His crush is a black girl!! There’s even multiple black girls!!! With lines!!! and different personalities!!! I know this is like, low expectations but lmao it’s Marvel. It felt real. This is the NYC I was born in and I finally recognize it in a superhero movie.

Holland himself was every bit as delightful as in Civil War, maybe even more. He was just so human, he was a KID, it’s just such a great coming of age story. You can’t help but root for him and feel protective of him. He reacts to things in such a realistic way for a teenager. And unlike the other two dudes before him he’s actually brilliant as Peter AND Spidey-in-the-suit. He gets it right. I love him and if they had to give us Peter again, I’m glad they picked him.

The low stakes helped too. After so many gods, aliens, etc. it was a breath of fresh air to have a villain who was just a regular human being. And Michael Keaton hit it out of the fucking park. He’s probably the most sympathetic villain in the whole MCU--his motivations are 100% understandable, if not what he does without thought of the consequences. I felt sorry for him at the same time I wanted him to stop wtf he was doing. he was also incredibly smart. really aside from a slight timeline hiccup this was a very smart movie--people behaved the way actual people would, and reality ensued when and how you expected it would. there was a twist that made my entire theater gasp though.

This movie just had a lot of heart. It wasn’t a rote by the numbers movie trying to set up some other shit in the MCU. It really really reminded me a lot of Ant-Man, in a positive way--same low-ish stakes, very down to earth, regular people in extraordinary situations, lighter/softer tone, lots of laughs, but not without its moments of “oh my god” scary and genuine pathos and some bittersweet stuff. it was a heartwarming movie though, tbh. I really, really loved it and it’s definitely in that Winter Soldier tier of best MCU movies to me.

Also just as an aside, best stinger ever in a Marvel movie. I won’t spoil it but it’s fucking hysterical and you can tell they had a lot of fun with it

About the Mun Neo~

Tagged by: @interimplexa

Tagging: @cieloxsereno @mondliicht @thehandworld @bravelighteon @rensake @kisburn @nadiwayagari @nostalgistiic​ @dragonxwarden -- and this is where I start to get lazy. If you saw this, go right ahead.

REAL NAME: Jieun Kim

NICKNAMES: Neo, and JJ mostly.

SEXUALITY: I don't really know, honestly. I'll cross that bridge when it comes to it.

PREFFERRED PRONOUNS: She/Her/Hers

ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON?: If I got a lot of sleep, sure. If not (which is most often the case) then no.

WHEN SWIMMING, DO YOU PREFER TO DO IT IN THE OCEAN OR IN A LAKE?: LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!-- yeah I can't swim to neither.

On Tumblr:

ANYONE YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET IN REAL LIFE?: I'd love to meet a lot of people to be honest. Though there have been lots of people that I've talked to a lot on ooc. Emi, Kirill, Kou, Hibiki, Kikenn, Sharr... and the list goes on I assure you and we don't have that much time-------

ANYONE YOU HAVE MET IN REAL LIFE?: Only one person but she's not an in the tumblr RP community. She's someone I've known for years.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST JOIN?: Uhh... what, like 2016? Maybe? Maybe really late 2015? Something like that. That's this blog at any rate.

YOUR CURRENT ACCOUNT?: Haru Miura, but i’ve also got Shugarl Geripeta, Ponsol Geripeta, Vasco, Mizumachi Kengo, and Dongmin Ahn. 

ANY PEEVES?: I’ve a good number in terms of rp but just to list a few: 

Do not, and I mean do NOT EVER give me a 2 worded response. Are you kidding me? You’d think i’m joking but it’s actually happened to me many a time and even on here. Don’t play me, I’m absolutely dead serious. Give me a 2 worded reply response and I will probably go crazy. 

Please do not try to force ships on me. Like don’t. I don’t like feeling pressured like that. Also, please don’t try to rush into it? It REAAAAALLY upsets me as I love character development and if you are omitting that in favor to quickly get a ship out of me, let me tell you it won’t work. Haru is a romantic and she doesn’t fall so easily. Unless you are Tsuna who saved her life. That is canon, but other than that I don’t think she’ll fall so easily for someone. I’m also just a gatekeeper so unless you work for it, you can’t ship with Haru. (you are free to ask me about it though and we can talk about it?)

“I hate [insert female character here] because she gets in the way of my yao---” get out. Absolutely serious. If you have to hate on a female chara because she gets in the way of your yaoi pairings, we cannot get along. If you really need to say/think it, make sure I don’t find out because I will instantly just be very turned off. 

Calling a Manhwa/manhua a ‘manga’ because it’s just ‘easier’ for you or because you are too lazy to actually look into things is just rude. I’ve had people tell me that and it upsets me so much. Please give the country it’s due credit. PLEASE. Other countries can make quality works as well!

“I don’t want to thread with your character because my character is gay.”-- good for you? Did I say Haru wants to ride your character? Please, there is a thing called standards and class. How hard must I work to get her some friends? Maybe even angst? Daaaannngg.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I think this counts? I actually really enjoy seeing duplicates. I am okay with threading with multiples of the same muse but it can get a bit confusing for me. Really though I love to see duplicates. Goes to show that the character is loved and BOY DOES HARU NEED LOVE, OKAY???? I LOVE DUPLICATES. HELLO MY FELLOW SISTERS OUT THERE, STAY STRONG!!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF HARU, DANG IT!!!!!

So yeah. I can understand why people don’t like them but I personally love them. You don’t have to play her like I do. You don’t have to have the same exat interpretation either. Just love the character, do your best and don’t horribly twist her personality and all that and i’m peachy. If I look at her and go ‘Who is this? Haru? Is this April Fools day?’ then we might have a problem. Though any Haru’s I’ve seen look like they are gdoing a great job so no complaints form me.

Feelings:

DO YOU EASILY GET JEALOUS?: I can, but I don't really do much about it? I normally just get a bit sad on my own or I kinda just shrug and move on with life. Depends on what it is I'm getting jealous over?

DO YOU EASILY GET ANGRY?: Ahahah--- yes.

ARE YOU EASY TO CHEER UP?: If I'm in one of my really depressed moods, then no, not really. If I'm just a lil upset or whatever, then yeah. I'm not that hard to cheer up.

ARE YOU GOOD AT HIDING YOUR EMOTIONS?: Not at all. You will know immediately if I don't like you very much. I'm not very good at hiding it. I will try to be really civil about it but if I really don't like you, I can't help sass you out.

WHAT'S THE VERY BEST WAY TO CHEER YOU UP?: Talk to me about my faves like Haru Miura. Just talk to me about my favorite series. Anything. If this is IRL, then hugs do wonders.

Relationships:

ARE YOU CURRENTLY IN A RELATIONSHIP?: Depends, do otome game relationships count? (No, no I'm not)

DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE?: Do anime characters count? (No, no I don't)

IF YES, MIGHT THAT SOMEONE BE READING THIS?: Maybe, if a mun playing a character I crush on is reading this. lol

DO YOU KISS ON THE FIRST DATE?: In some otome games you play, you kinda have to-- or it's just forced on you? I've no say in the game mechanics. //slams fist. || Honestly speaking though, I don't. I'm a shy bean and I also just--- no. It's the first date. Let me really figure out if I like you or not.

DO YOU PREFER GOING OUT, OR STAYING HOME, WHEN IT COMES TO DATES?: I feel comfortable inside, but dates outside are a nice change of pace. Especially when you go out to get good food. I love food.

Things:

FAVORITE DRINK: I really love Green and black tea, especially matcha green tea!

FAVORITE FOOD: I really love curries with coconut milk in it, but I really love Korean food like tteokbokki or yukgaejang. I haven't had it much but Takoyaki is also really good, and I will always have a soft spot for any kind of ramen. I really love sushi, especially if it's spicy and crunchy. I've recently tried some Oyakodon and yes... that is life. Korean BBQ is also really good ya know? I just love good, okay? All of it. All kinds of food. All of it is my favorite. Is it yummy? Can I eat it? Will if fill my stomach? I like it-- except for mushy carrots. I don't like those. No. Unless it's been cooked in some kind of broth and it's taken on the taste of what it was floating in. I accept that. Steamed carrots? CRIMINAL.
