#i miss my boyfriend can you tell?

[maladaptivedaydreamingculture]

Maladaptive Daydream Culture is having a para of your boyfriend who you can't see for a few months and having to remind yourself that the para isn't real, especially when the daydreams bleed into what little in-person memories you do have of him

[gazkamurocho]

This came to me in a dream??

[raepliica]

tristamp post-timeskip woowoo!! injecting him with cowboy swag baybiee

also, a little bit of a redraw

[sugarverse]

your boyfriend who has no problem picking you up in the pool, forcing your hips against his before forcing your back against the wall of the pool "jokingly".

"My big baby just wanted to be held by me, right?" the warmth of his body made you shiver, feeling him against you as he pulled you and possibly closer.

or when he picks you up bridal style just to prove how strong he is, kissing your neck and threatening to drop you if you didn't squeeze him tight.

or when you get out of the pool for a moment to see him looking up at you with the upmost devotion. Staring at your soft tummy and stretch marks as they branch out.

your boyfriend who makes sure that your sunscreen is rubbed in, spending an extra long time on your back and thighs to stare at how plush they are.

ugh, i miss summer.

Finally back to working on the fic again and I just want you all to know that the entire time period the next two chapters encompass, Bella is face-down on her mattress hungover af and completely passed out the entire time.

Danmei Rec Meme!

How long have you been into danmei, how did you get into it / what was your first danmei?

I read MDZS in 2018 if that counts? But otherwise I saw Global Examination randomly mentioned in around September last year and thought it looked interesting. Read the manhua, enjoyed it, continued with the novel and have been randomly reading stuff since. (English Vol 1 is open for preorders btw!)

Favourite danmei?

Global Examination by Mu Su Li

Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin by Qi Jing Nan Qu

Favourite couples / characters?

Don't have a particular answer so I'll go with the two MCs from my first two faves above :D You Huo and Chi XiaoChi. Competant, badass, rebellious, q_q puts themselves at risk to help others. JiuHuo and LouChi are both very soft and adorable and wholesome ships that fight their way to be together q_q.

Most recently read danmei?

I'm currently reading After The Tyrant Differentiated into an Omega?

Any favourite authors?

Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat 肉包不吃肉 Her writing is just so intense! So much drama, so much angst, so many tears. For mature audiences only! If you've haven't read any of her stuff see content warnings beforehand.

Other authors I’ve eyed: Cyan Wings 青色羽翼, A Lifetime of Beautiful Clothes 一世华裳

Any popular danmei you aren't particularly a fan of?

Hmm. I haven't been able to get into any of Priest's works. Might be the writing style, I managed to finish Mo Du which was nice but somehow just don't feel satisfied :X

Also I liked MDZS and TGCF but didn't particularly enjoy SVSSS.

Anything you've been meaning to read but still haven't?

Ballad of Sword and Wine / Qiang Jin Jiu - tried a few times but finding it hard to get through the narration / heavy world building. Will try again at some point.

The Earth Is Online - struggling to keep interested in the beginning chapters

Choose a random (the weirder and baitier, the better) memorable scene/danmei to describe!

MC has a dream where ML is tied up. Has no idea why. Dreams materialise. Wakes up and finds Dream!ML tied up. ML also wakes up, and sees his Dream!MC glaring at them. *Awkward silence* Dream!ML starts flirting with MC. Everyone is horrified.

Are there any particular genres / tropes you enjoy / don't enjoy? Aka - any useful info for people to send you recs ;D?

I am a sucker for amnesia tropes and hidden identity tropes. Also tend to appreciate light hearted narration / comedic undertones. Which probably explains my two faves lmao. Mystery and angst keep me going.

Any recommendations to give? Badly describe them in 2 sentences. (Or however you like, your choice.)

Trying to avoid popular ones so here goes!!!

Global Examination - Infinite flow. 2 madmen on opposite sides bond over their mutual fondness for setting things on fire. They both have amnesia from a few years ago? How suspicious...

Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin - My favourite Quick Transmigration. MC and his system break up toxic relationships in other worlds whilst MC still processing the grief of losing his belated childhood crush who passed away over 10 years ago and left him traumatised.

Any of Meatbun's novels (2ha/The Husky and his White Cat Shizun, Yu Wu/Remnants of Filth, bab/Case File Compendium) - Too much angst and too many plot twists.

Record of the Missing Sect Master - Fun shameless schemeing MC gets revenge by pissing off all the antagonists and uncovering conspiracies while ML fondly indulges him.

Mr Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life - Overpowered but retired MC who is hiding his superpowered identity wants to live a peaceful life, but ML who is also hiding his superpowered identity keeps getting forced to go to work (work = saving the world). In an attempt to get ML to work less, MC hires suspicious people to start a money laundering business.

Breaking Through the Clouds - More realistic/serious tone compared to others on this list. Modern urban crime solving.

Married Thrice to a Salted Fish

Devil Vernerable Also Wants To Know

Transmigration into the Heartthrob's cannon fodder childhood friend / Everyone Loves The Cannon Fodder - modern school life

The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish

[caes-funnyarc]

there's something so beautiful about the phrase "we'll see."

it's not "i'll see," or even the beautiful "you'll see," when waiting for a surprise. it's "we'll see." us. we. we will see. together.

whatever betide, we'll see it through together.
