Podré olvidar mi nombre o donde vivo, pero nunca que Eiw le robó un beso a Cake... No estoy hablando de Eiw y Cake 🤗

BL character/actor roadmap for my pal Tommy.  

His reaction:

[yui-makino-blog]

I seem to have fallen into a BL black hole and have completely stopped reading (I usually read at least 50 books a year)… do you have any good queer novel recs to get me back on track? Bonus if any of them have a seme/uke dynamic! (I don’t mean thai BL novels, the translations are so awful I can’t cope with them)

Right there with you, BL killed my reading. But I did once read a ton of m/m.

So this is interesting because a seme/uke doesn't play well with m/m romance readers (in the US market at least). Also the more seme/uke the book the less genuinely queer friendly the writing. A romance author who writes this dynamic probably came from the slash side, identifies as straight, and is unlikely to be in touch with modern queer culture. 

M/M Books for BL Fans 

The only book I know of off the top of my head that strictly and intentionally is written with traditional yaoi tropes in mind and strong seme/uke but in English is:

Tokyo Stars by Gage Lively - and actually it works pretty well for what it's trying to do. Very classic Japanese Yaoi but in m/m novel form. 

M/m authors that touch on some of the tropes? These are gonna range in heat levels and queer friendliness, and a few of them aren’t the most fantastic writers (but they are better than Thai in translation). 

Christmas Kitsch by Amy Lane - friends2lovers, poor little rich kid, sunshine, hurt/comfort, coming of age, trigger for depression & family rejection. It’s a GREAT book. For fans of: I Told Sunset About You

My Hero by Max Vos - this is what we all wanted from Water Boyy. 

Steamroller by Mary Calmes - nerd/jock, obsession, very high heat. For fans of FighterTutor Why R U? (Mary Calmes’ style is extremely addictive, she writes mostly adult characters but she does tend to have a strict top/bottom kinda seme/uke thing going on. Because, I’m pretty sure, she comes out of early slash fanfic.) 

Frat Boy and Toppy by Anne Tenino - kinky, nerd/jock, bit dirty, coming out. For fans of TharnType. 

Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy - sports romance, pining since childhood, complicated back story, hurt comfort, grumpy/sunshine, well done and popular book. For fans of We Best Love. 

Valor on the Move by Keira Andrews - bodyguard trope, age gap. FBI agent falls in love with the president’s youngest son. For fans of Golden Blood of course. 

A Fool and His Manny by Amy Lane - childhood proximity (close to stepbrothers), younger boy pines for older boy, fantastic family dynamics. For fans of Lovely Writer. 

Prefer Taiwanese Gritty BL? 

If you like the harsher stuff and you want your leads to suffer seriously for their pay out...

Racing for the Sun by Amy Lane - friends2lovers, hurt-comfort, military, criminal activities, trigger for abuse and violence 

Yes but hella QUEER?

If you want strong story, paranormal elements, (more like 1000 Stars, He’s Coming to Me, or Until We Meet Again) but with great queer rep then try author R Cooper. They are amazeballs. 

Please don’t ask me about Red, White, & Royal Blue. 

Links are to Amazon because I’m a lazy putz. Pay the fucking author, don’t steal these. Some of them are only on Amazon, but most of them are wide.

Me encantan este tipo de post porque me ayudan a notar esos pequeños detalles que se me escapan.

MO12pc have done such an amazing job at showing the growth and ages of these characters changing in such little ways beyond wardrobe and hair updates.

There's the obvious tension when sharing beds now and the character growth such as Eiws healthy social life and Cakes disinterest in girls but the scene that stuck out to me the most despite how subtle was the change in their wake up routine.

The essence of it is still the same: Cake over sleeping, Eiw harrassing him to get up, the physical touch of Eiw dragging him out of bed.

But the vibes from before and after are so different. There's this physical chemistry that wasn't there before, when they were young it was all Eiw pulling funny faces and Cake pulling awake from him.

Now Cake resists enough to get the attention but you can see he leans into Eiw instead of pulling away.

And then there's the way Eiw kneels over him, he's jumped on the bed a bit in the past when Cake has really been stubborn but it's never culminated in this kind of position. For a moment my brain figured maybe it's because the single bed Cake used to have made it difficult but looking back there's plenty of space on that double bed that's free real-estate,,, but CakeEiw are squished in tight to each other so really, there's no excuse.

The vibes from the post time skip wake up give me such established long term relationship feels and I am HERE for it.
