#maybe it's for the best tho I know which characters all the AIs belong with and if they did it wrong I would be mad 😌

[asweetprologue]

I just finished a rewatch of s13 of red versus blue and it's so crazy to me that the show kind of majorly diverted in plot after the finale

I really hope s19 and the retcon finally give us what I feel like it was all leading up to: epsilon fracturing into the other AIs and each of the reds and blues getting one. in church's monologue it seemed so clear to me that he was planning to break himself up into those individual pieces - the others even appear when he says as much! but then s15 (after the hiatus season) just has epsilon gone, having left nothing behind. when the season 13 finale originally aired I was so pumped bc I assumed we would get something I'd been wanting since like season 6, which is for the main characters to get AIs themselves and armor enhancements. maybe not permanently, but I always thought it was a missed opportunity to once again highlight the difference between Project Freelancer and the sim troopers. and also it would have opened up so many opportunities for new jokes. really hope s19 goes that route

Hi! I want to have comprehensive list of the BL manga/manhwa etc. that I’ve read because I want to spread the love for this genre 💜.  This post is a list of works that I’ve read which is not in this page yet + my comments on each work. I hope some people will find something that they like here ^__^

🐣 All BL recs from me 

manhwa  🐓

💜 Never Understand

Yuri, one of the school's most handsome guys,and Jaerim, one of the school's ugliest, collide!...or don't they? Can't understand what's going on between these two! It's Out of Control! 

shounen-ai, completed, 87 chapters

THE STORY IS SOOOO GOOD. The art also improved by a lot upon reaching the later chapters. Jae-rim is dubbed as “ugly” (he’s a whole cutie tho) and I’m glad to see a non conventional character design for an MC! I highly recommend reading this!!  👌💯

Incorrigible 

A sequel to “Never Understand” which is focused on Cho Ayeon’s story after being free from Soyeon’s control.

yaoi, completed, 8 chapters

This has few chapters so maybe that explains the fast pacing. Nonetheless, it was a nice read, I have a really soft spot for Jae-rim so seeing his r-18 experiences with Yuri really got me ahkdjashdkajshd ;W;

💜 Dirty Vibrations

Best friends Yeong and Nohae thought it was a joke when they downloaded the infamous “cursed” app. It’s said to command the user to perform…sexual acts and punishes those who disobey or delete it. It started with making them kiss. When they disobeyed its order…the punishment was anything but a joke. 

yaoi, ongoing

This one is from Fujoking (author of Youjin)! In all honesty, I love this for its sex scenes. They are so well made, the art, the dialogue, the expressions, and just *chef’s kiss* 👌. When it comes to expressing sexual scenes in BL, my top authors would have to be Fujoking for manhwa and Zaria for manga.

💜 Paid

Executive director Heejae is nicknamed "Chaebol Prince" by the public. But his life is turned upside down when documents linking him to an embezzlement scheme are unexpectedly found by an accounting collegian Taekyung! So he pretends to have a crush on him, but.. Taekyung wants more than just flirting! 

yaoi, ongoing

This is another one from Fujoking! This has a heavier plot as compared to Dirty Vibrations, so you get amazing smut AND an engaging story! 

💜 On or Off

Yiyoung is building a startup with his college friends. They get a chance to present their proposal to SJ Corporation, one of the leading companies in the country. But in the meeting room he sees Kang Daehyung, the extremely handsome company big shot that's so very much his type, and Yiyoung's heart starts to race...! Can pretty-faced Yiyoung win both in love and his career? 

yaoi, ongoing

Okay this! It’s really funny and the pacing is nice and the characters are nice and the art is nice and the perfect mix of romance comedy and slice of life i just HUHDADKAJDHJK it’s rly a feel good read and both MCs are SO ATTRACTIVE.

Penthouse XXX

Siyeon, a contract killer, has declared a boycott on men after being screwed over by his ex. That is, until he moves into a penthouse owned by Taekyung, a rich heir with killer looks.

yaoi, completed, 49 chapters

It has meme worthy illustrations xD. The graphics are nice but I found Taekyung (one of the MCs) to be a little toxic. Also, some parts of the story were not wrapped up/discussed enough imo. But overall, it was a pleasant read.

Home Sweet Home

The last thing Jungyeon expected was for his mom to ask if she could remarry. The new man was kind, considerate, a perfect match for his mother but there’s a catch: he has a younger son. Sunwoo is an introvert. He’s shy and has trouble opening up to others, until he meets Jungyeon and finds himself opening up for the first time. As their parents get closer to marrying, they become close, too close, and that’s when Sunwoo learns Jungyeon is already seeing another man.

yaoi, completed, 57 chapters

I honestly don’t know why this has quite a low rating on mangago because I found it to be a good read! It’s like sitting through a romance-drama movie. I liked the ending and the relationship between the main couple.

K’s Secret

Employee Kim Doyoon has been working for 5 years. He has one secret that he can't tell anyone else - the fact that he's a half-vampire born between a human and a vampire.

yaoi, ongoing

The art is so good in the recent chapters ugh. Also the sex scenes are well made. The plot is a little unclear though, and I feel like the relationship of the two MCs are kinda forced and unnatural hahaskdhakjdh. Still reading it tho since it’s ongoing.

💜 I have a Boyfriend

Kang Hyeon Ho, who belongs in the university soccer team goes into a breadth class and encounters the person he went to middle school together with and was his first love, Han Gyeol. 

yaoi, completed, 44 chapters

THIS IS BASICALLY COLLEGE AU ROM COM ADDITIONAL TAG: FIRST LOVE AND IT’S AMAZING. Just a really well rounded story with the right amount of drama to bring out its slice of life  😭💘 Also, this is tagged as yaoi but the sex scenes were few and not that explicit.

💜 Voice of Love

After experiencing a traumatic incident involving a previous lover, Jiho is too afraid to tell his classmate Soohan that he likes him. Thankfully, Soohan can hear otherpeople's thoughts and asks him out first. But, as we all know, love isn't always that easy. Will Jiho and Soohan really get their happily ever after?

shounen-ai, completed, 37 chapters

Just a really cute story about mind reading and high school boys being in love. Ah, youth. This will make you feel good like ,,, awww young love :( <3

Base to Base

The elite Sung Moon High is fields one the country's top 5 high school baseball teams. Kim Soohyun was the ace pitcher of his middle school now started his first year at Moon high baseball team...since his beloved sunbae Choi Woojin(captain/catcher) is there....Kim Soohyun is an cutie puppy with stalker tendency exclusive for his beloved sunbae. 

shounen-ai, completed, 28 chapters

Sports manga/anime always had a little (or lots) of gay, well this one made it officially gay! A cute rom-com bUT I feel like the ending was rushed. I would have loved it if there was more, but nonetheless, a good read! :)

manga  🐓

💜 I Seriously Can’t Believe You  

"I don't think you've realized your true nature yet." That's what Kon tells Iida, the hottest guy at school, wondering how anyone could be so proper. As popular as he is, Iida doesn't seem interested in any of the girls who come after him. Kon and his buddies try to look into the matter by flipping a coin and having Kon approach him with his confession of love, just to see if he's really interested in guys. "I've... never looked at guys like that..." says Iida, falling for Kon's ruse. Kon takes him home, hoping to straighten out the misunderstanding, when Iida suddenly grabs him by the shoulder, and... A story about a mysterious hottie at school and a prince of a certain kind. 

yaoi, completed, 5 chapters

THIS IS FUNNY AND CUTE AND HOT AND SHORT BUT REALLY GOOD JUST READ IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!

💜 Yoru to Asa no Uta 

(Chapter 0) ; (Sequel)

Asaichi can't play any instruments, his voice is average, and he's only in the band for the girls and the sex. Plus, he's homophobic. For some reason, the new bassist is infatuated with him despite the treatment Asaichi gives him.

yaoi, completed, 1 + 8 + 8  = 16 chapters

It’s by Harada (author of ‘Yatamomo’ and ‘Color Recipe’) so expect dark themes. Trigger warning for rape. I suggest you skip the rape if you can’t handle it because this manga is so good. Its art and story (much like Harada’s other works) will really suck you in. This left a deep impression on me because the characters felt so alive. I respect Harada so much for that ability.

💜 Eigyou Nika!

Sakisaka, stationed in the second Sales Division, has an unrequited love for Toujou, his directing senpai. He had no intention of confessing his feelings. However, Toujou has been awfully touchy-feely lately… Is there a glimmer of hope? Please don’t let it be a misunderstanding! Which path will these vexing feelings flow down to?

yaoi, completed, 10 chapters

I had fun reading this because it’s so fluffy!! aaaAAAA I love friends to lovers and cuddling and the sweetness that comes from a relationship that is a more than friendship but less than lovers. A lighthearted read <3

💜 Mou Ichido, Nando Demo

On his way home from picking up a rings for himself and his lover, Fuji Takahiro is hit by a car. His resulting amnesia degrades his live-in lover Kotou Tarou to a mere flatmate, and a series of misunderstandings threatens to tear the couple apart. Tossed around by desperation and confusion, can Tarou and Takahiro rebuild their once blissful relationship? 

yaoi, completed, 11 chapters

This is like watching a really good mature drama. The characters feel real and the situations presented in the manga were also something one can easily imagine themselves being put into. A short and good read.

💜Ookami-kun wa Kowakunai

The world is filled with animals that can evolve into beastmen. There is a young and earnest wolf who was always mistaken for a showy person because of his flashy looks. The easily mistaken wolf has fallen for an attractive looking rabbit named Usami, who is cautious of carnivores.

yaoi, completed, 6 chapters

I mEAN,,, LOOK AT THEM!!! This is wholesome and very fluffy huhuhuhu no more words needed. A short and cute read! <3

💜Ookami He No Yomeiri

Kaede is a rabbit person chosen to be the 'bride' of a distinguished wolf family. Although he does not wish to marry a wolf, his family pleads for him to go so that they can have enough supplies to last for the next two years. However, how will his new husband act towards a little bunny rabbit stuck in the wolf's den?

yaoi, completed, 8 chapters

The art is good and the story is cute :((( They’re so cute aaaa I’m a sucker for grumpy looking x ray of sunshine it’s just uGH the contrast never gets old.

💜 Encirclement Love

Ryou had a sleepover and saw his friends - Issei and Tadahiro - kissing while they thought he was asleep. He asks them about it and feels betrayed as a childhood friend when they pretend nothing happened. Determined to catch them red-handed, Ryou ends up inside a closet with Issei's little brother - Yuusei -, who has a unexpected reaction to the situation.

yaoi, completed, 6 chapters

It’s basically four high school boys being horny. All four of them are friends and I find their dynamics really funny. Also, they’re all hOT 🥵 I had lots of fun reading this!

Mother’s Spirit

University employee Ryouichirou is ordered by the Chairman to take in an exchange student. That exchange student, Qaltaqa, is a native from a developing country who can't understand Japanese!!

yaoi, completed, 13 chapters

This is funny and interesting! A short read to boost your mood and get your yaoi fix ;D

Dakaretai Otoko Ichii Ni Odosarete Imasu 

Saijou Takato's 5 year reign as the "Most Huggable No. 1" has been snatched. Stealing his thunder is the newbie actor with a 3-year debut, Azumaya! Towards the stuffy hostile Takato, Azumaya's sincere sparkling smile starts to become effective. Even as Takato sets his alert level on MAX, Azumaya catches Takato in his shameful drunken state and uses it to blackmail him! In exchange for Azumaya's silence, Azumaya states, "Please let me hold you"'?! "Embrace me, who was the Most Huggable No.1? What the heck is he saying!" 

yaoi, ongoing

I remember dropping this because MC was obviously raped, but upon watching the first episode of the anime adaptation, they made the sex consensual (thank God) and the story is not so bad after all. I suggest skipping the first chapter altogether and just start off at episode 1 in the anime, then you can pick it up in the manga to see the explicit scenes xD

That’s it for now! Will continue updating in this tumblr acc. as I continue on reading more BL ehe. Hmu on my twt if u wanna talk about BL and/or anime and manga in general hehe. Love lots~ 💜🐓

[ciel-of-the-night]

Fave BLs lol:

Ooh ok this is gonna be fun, I really don’t know where to start so uh I guess let’s start by type of media and devide that into fandoms😂

BL Mangas/Manhwas:

Unfinished:

- Monochrome Rumor

- Stay With Me (19+)

- Dangerous Convenience Store Clerk

- Don’t Cry Sunbae!

- December

- Angel Buddy

- Painter of the Night (historical, really dark, sooo much angst)

- Again (Gongtae)

- Salad Days (long, sweet, chinese manhua)

- My Darling Signed In (idk if this is finished tbh, wasn’t the last time I looked, it’s really good tho)

Fininshed:

- Lack of Love

- Hold Me Tight (one of my personal all-time faves!😍)

- Exotic Love (if you like ANGST)

- The President Who Always Buys Me Dinner

- Cherry Blossoms After Winter (this one is like all fluff, so cute)

- Totally Captivated (this one’s ”old”, not in colour, but oh the story is still so good)

- In My Closet (an idol x idol manga, I THINK this one’s finished by now)

- At The End of The Road (so good, angst but not too much for my taste)

Most of these are classed as yaoi, meaning thst you’ll see explicit sex scenes, bc that’s what I personally like (I always feel like something’s being left out, like we’re missing out on seeing a part of the relationship if we don’t get to see the smex, but if you really don’t want that then what you should be searching for is the category ”shounen ai” aka gay but no explicit sex scenes are shown. (All Chinese manhuas will fall into this category bc of government restrictions, btw, but I find that Chinese to English translations tend to suck a*s. Japanese to English and korean to English are of a MUCH higher standard).

Moving on to dramas/tv series:

- THE BEST Wester gay tv series, in my opinion, still belongs to Queer as Folk (the American version). This tv series came out almost 2 decades ago but I PROMISE you, it doesn’t feel dated at all, aside from the technology maybe. This series follows a group gay men in their thirties (Brian, Michael, Emmet and Ted), as well as their two Lesbian friends, Lindsay and Melanie, who are a couple. The show follows the guys’ love interests as well, and honestly, the main MAIN couple and characters of the show are probably Brian and his future partner Justin. They’re a very controversial couple, in that Brian is almost 30 and Justin is just 17, but honestly I personally just love them, and it is completely consentual, no predatory behaviour at all - in fact, Justin is the one who pursues Brian, relentlessly, season after season, until the lovable bastard finally gives in. Unfortunately, this series does end on a bit of s cliffhanger after 6 or 7 seasons, which absolutely fucking sucks, but the writer has spoken about what would’ve happened in the next/final season if it had been made, and that does give some closure. In my opinion it’s still SO WORTH a watch. The series is iconic, because of it’s unrelenting honesty and willingness to show EVERYTHING and anything - from sex sex and more sex, to drugs, to people with AIDS, to prostitution, to hate crimes, and just the way that love comes and clubbs you down, regardless of what you might’ve chosen if you could have. I’ll never stop praising this series. (PSA THO - DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT WATCH THE 2022 ”remake” version. Never thought I’d see the day when the gay/lgbtqia+ community’d CHEER when a queer show is cancelled, but now I have).

- Another really good gay series that’s come out lately tho is Young Royals on Netflix (proud Swede here lol, we did a good job, *patts our country on the back*)

Asian Dramas:

Backround (if you’re interested): I’d just like to preface this category by saying that generally, I preffer Korean Dramas over other Asian Dramas, simply bc the acting is more to the Western taste (in layman’s terms, it’s generally WAAAY less cringe). But when it comes to the BL (Boys Love) aka gay category in particular, that doesn’t really work out. It’s only in the very last few years, I’d day the last 5 or so years, that Korean Dramas have ventured into the world of BL - and the Korean BL Dramas that have finally started being made are SHORT, bc they’re still testing out the market. We can basically totally scratch Chinese Dramas, bc the government is so homephobic that they’ve even banned actors from acting togther again if they’ve participated in even gay-leaning dramas, and a lot of dramas/manhuas etc get cancelled or removed by the government if they’re deemed too gay. So that leaves Thai and Japanese dramas, and thankfully they’ve tried their very best to make up for the other countries lack of gay, lol. Just keep in mind that Japanese and Thai dramas can sometimes seem a bit more ”cringe” than we’re used to but that they’re the best we’ve had for a long time, and thank fuck that they exist.

- Antique Bakery (Movie, Korean, a very rare exception from Korea that came out in 2008, I love it very much but that might mostly be nostalgia lol, not explicit at all, adorable tho)

- TharnType (I love this one! Thai)

- 2gether (Thai drama)

- Theory of Love (Thai)

- Semantic Error (was pretty good/ok - Korean)

- To My Star (Korean Drama)

- Where your Eyes Linger (Korean Drama)

There are probably a lot more but I haven’t watched that many BL Dramas lately, I’ve been more into the world of Manga/Manhwa.

Fanfiction (the final category, we made it ppl���)

Obs! I only read fanfics in these fandoms: HP, Merlin, Avengers, (Twilight, occasionally), so my recs will be limited to pairings in these fandoms. Since idk if you like any of these fandoms, I’ll just tell you some of my faves for each and hope you end up liking at least one of them, lmao. Most, if not all, of these fics can be read on Ao3 (Archive of Our Own).

Harry Potter:

Drarry (Harry x Draco)

- Bond by AnnaFugazzi (a classic, though it came out b4 the Harry Potter series was completely finished so it’s not 100% cannon compliant)

- Mental by sara_holmes (also kinda comsidered a classic)

- Secrets by Vorabiza (also kinda a classic)

- In His Nature (veela fic, fated mates)

- A Life More (or Less) Ordinary (veela fic, fated mates)

- Playing The Hero by loveglowsinthedark

- Expectant by loveglowsinthedark (love this author, this fic festures m-preg aka Draco getting pregnant through magical means)

- The Potter-Malfoy Problem by who_la-hoop (love this author too!)

- Helix by Saras_Girl (love the author)

- Good To Me (And I’d Be So Good To You)

(And sooooo many more I can’t think of right now, but this list is already getting out of hand so I’ll stop here for now).

Tomarry (Tom Riddle x Harry)

- The Spellmaker

- If Them’s The Rules

- Full Circle

- Wear Me Like A Locket Around Your Throat

- What He Grows To Be

Merlin (pairing Arthur x Merlin):

- The Loaded March saga (this series is an EPIC, it’s so fucking long that I’ve started it at least 3 times, got to like book 4, got distracted (bc ADHD) and had to start all over again by the time I remember that I was reading it about 4 months later. Not that it’s a hardship, this fanfic series is better written than like 90% of the actually published books I’ve read. And I’ve read A LOT.)

- The Student Prince (a classic in the fandom, so good, even after all this time)

I really hoped this helped you, if there’s anything you’re wondering or unsure about pls don’t hesitate to ask! ☺️

Okayokayokay why did no one make me hop on the BL train sooner!!!

Hit me up with recs. Anime or manga is fine bc apparently I’ve been converted to someone who inhales ALL forms of content.

There’s gonna be some fun BL inspired twists coming to my Masterlist soon. Because how can I not?

Thinking of doing a few character x character as well as some poly. Feel free to send asks for certain pairings or groups. 🖤
