10 BL Boys I Want Carnally

Upon making this list I have discovered I do not want carnally a lot ot people. I want a lot of boys to be wanted carnally by other people instead xD

But I somehow managed. I am certainly weak to pretty faces.

Here goes @waitmyturtles!

He has a je ne sais quoi that is SO attractive

Is it the mask? Is it the face? Is it both? Idk, but he does things to me

His whole face. Also crime is attractive

I might have a type

Tinn, my beloved

His whole vibe in Moonlight Chicken was *chef's kiss*

Korn from Cupid's Last Wish is the Earth I'd like to know carnally

Togawa, Togawa. Oh, Togawa

Hira might be a weirdo but his faces, damn (particularly in this gif)

Hello there, cute sir who makes me feel things

This list has made me wonder is there's a penchant for voyeurism in me since, in the end, I want most of those people to want their significant other carnally while I watch from under the blanket hiding myself. Being human is weird.

Since so many people have been tagged in this I'm only gonna put a few here @emotionallychargedtowel @xagan @ranchthoughts @wanderlust-in-my-soul @takeadeepbreathandexist

If it's with you 君となら恋をしてみても Ep 5 (Finale)

my shiny new paid vpn does not want to connect to tver; I keep getting errors :( guess I'll have to rely on the free one instead.

Amane, you sweet, silly boy!

i'm going to miss this show

THE BANTER I love this so much

ooof sudden casual homophobia

RYUUJI HOLY SHIT ILU

and nobody took it badly!!! I love this so much holy SHIT

HOLDING HANDS alexa play Whiteberry's 夏祭り and queue ZONE's HANABI 〜君がいた夏〜

oh Amane, oh bb.

RYUUJI. I'm just. YELLING here. Help this boy is so good.

天もちゃんと素直に言えたじゃん！！ Amaneeee good JOB using your words

okay I do not believe there's a publicly accessible spot where you can see this clearly and there's NO-ONE there

FUTURE!!! THINKING AHEAD!! god I— GOODNESS. Do we get a kiss? Firework kiss?

even better, we get WORDS

I LOVE that we get Ryuuji's perspective here

he's taking so much care with Amane's feelings 🥹

OH we've got an ECHO I love this

(pausing to note) the dead parent convo just … really hit me where it hurts, but it was also really lovely.

these boys are SO BRAVE oh my god

I LOVE how they intercut these moments of tension with laughter and banter, and the way they let body language and facial expressions do so much of the storytelling for us here!

we're back at the lighthouse!

talked through the night, huh. I love that!

… whoa.

Starting out, I did NOT expect this to be this much of a feel-good show. I'm probably going to try and get a copy — wonder whether that bluray they announced is actually about the show? that'd be incredible, gonna be staking out the site as instructed. I think I'll have to let this sink in a little before I can form coherent thoughts, but man. what a lovely, lovely little show.

I never thought of dating, or being in a relationship like lovers or something like that with you. The truth is I can't imagine it, but..

If it's with you 君となら恋をしてみても Ep 4

Typed up my notes last week, but brickspace things happened and I didn't get around to sharing them here.

right, we had a confession

Ryuuji, love, Amane had his sight set on you pretty much the moment he laid eyes on you, and then you had to go and be sweet and reliable

SKIPPING SCHOOL wow

Ryuuji is such a rare character and I LOVE him, goodness, and the acting is great. Nuanced.

he's so straightforward.

Ａ型だなぁ、きっと I don't even buy into Japanese blood type horoscope but Ryuuji is SUCH an A type it's not even funny

Amane! these boys are being so brave here.

Ookura's acting here— god they're both doing SO well

OH this is complicated but KIND. I love this. I love that there's no panic, but honesty about the confusion the confession caused, and that he's open to the possibility of falling in love with his friend.

oh my goodness, grandma is tiny. I thought Amane was small, but he dwarfs her.

karaoke ;_; I miss ittt

oh wow they haven't texted in a while

oh, is this his hookup from ep 1?

GOOD FOR YOU AMANE please don't make me say spoke too soon

I was about to say, Amane, you know where he works and lives

the way he sat up made me laugh out loud

you look fabulous, Amane, don't worry

on no, is he getting stood up? if so I bet Ryuuji has a good reason, but … urgh

oh PHEW

oh is Ryuuji going to ask his MOM for advice about his feelings?! THIS BOY I love him

This show just delivers week after week. Solid, solid stuff.

[nieves-de-sugui]

The last episode was so precious. So beautiful. So amazing!!! Why must this show be only 5 episodes??? 😭😭😭 It's a crime

I will be rewatching this for sure, it's so good. Ryuuji and Amane are the cutest and I hope we get some more!! 🤞🤞🤞

[nieves-de-sugui]

Narakoi watch rambles

This show has taken a hold of me and I need to put my exciment SOMEWHERE.

Ryuuji my baby, my heart

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh whenever we change pov I lose it

"Even thought you told me to remember it" AAAAAAHHHHH

RYUUUJIIIIIIII

His serious face, I can't

I'm in love with a boy

Well that's what you call straightforward

Aw they're adorable

Yes Amane! You go girl!! Say it!!

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh he said it

They'resofuckingpreciousIcan't

MY FUCKING BABIES

Amaneeeeeeee you're making me cryyyyyyy

Omgomgomg I don't care what they say, that's so gonna be a date

If it's with you 君となら恋をしてみても Ep 3

I really enjoyed this one, particularly the family moments, both memory and present-day. There've been a few Japanese shows recently that had really lived-in seeming settings, particularly the houses, and I enjoyed that lots and lots.

Live blog:

I love this parent and child moment

good at cooking since he was young

oh this is a death flag on that dad, dang

asdfadsf Ryuuji is so sincere

the "no drugs" poster in the background is taking me out

I love the opening theme to this show

goodness, the feeling of this show is incredibly nostalgia-inducing for me

Amane … I don't think it's that Ryuuji doesn't want to go, I think he doesn't have time. or is afraid of what happens if they actually ask for a guardian's signature. And he sleeps in class because he works too much and late.

these two and their mutual praise fest, is2g

called it u_u

wow "あのちらしと同じ俺も一緒に守ります" I would NOT want to have to translate that

CALLED IT

awwww he made him a study guide

I guess Kirin isn't sponsoring this show 😅

oooh it's a sibling! and the MUM!

"you didn't say anything weird about me, right?" - "course not" -- enter little brother: 「あああ　食いしん坊の天だ！」　I laughed out loud

oh that hiyashichuuka looks fantastic

the naming game in this family …

wtf was your home life like before you came to Enoshima, Amane?

these two are rescuing each other, huh.

also: bridges are for the gays these days and I love it.

oh ffs Amane, let him say what he needs to say

confessing and running off, a CLASSIC

This show has only two episodes left, but with the pacing as tight as it is, I think they might pull it off. I'm really enjoying it either way.

[nieves-de-sugui]

My babies keep on babying. Literally. Look at Ryuuji's puppy eyes.

Who could say no to that face? I'll tutor you myself lajdhflsdhfkladf

This show is so warm and kind, I die a little every time. I hope the best for them. The plot is also advancing. And I just want to hug everybody

[lurkingteapot]

If it's with you 君となら恋をしてみても Ep 2

This episode started fairly abruptly – right into the flashback, no holds barred, and now we're off to the baths together! I love how straightforward Amane is, and how Ryuuji isn't holding back at all, either. I like that they're not teasing us about the backstory too much, just letting it come out little by little. And oh, I hurt for Amane – mustering the courage to come out to someone and not having the other person believe you … that's the worst. I love that they addressed Ryuuji's speech patterns — the contrast between the "ore" and the desu/masu thing was so noticable! Ah, of course — get caught in the rain, catch a fever. These kids are so cute.

This story moves fast, but I guess if they only get five episodes they have to, and it doesn't feel rushed at any rate. I'm excited to see where this goes.

[jimmysea]

I'm a scaredy-cat, you know?
