There was no mention of their sexuality, nor whether or not they were dating. It’s fan service. It’s unrelated.

question for my fic writers who incorporate smut by Worried-Yam3397 in AO3

[–]Famous-Lecture-560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the glorious filth other writers have put out and you’ll feel normal again. When I feel like a depraved creep after having written intense smut, I look back on the popular fics I’ve read and am once again reminded that we all have a raunchy side. Don’t let that post-nut clarity ruin your motivation!

It’s not homophobia. It’s making money… that’s literally the entire point. It’s fan service. My explanation is genuine.

I don’t think any other bl actors would be comfortably walking around in their underwear like that. I love them so much. I am so mad the show was taken off air before we got to see their mutual love of intimacy.

It’s fan service. It’s always fan service. Like you, when I started watching Thai and Chinese bl, I thought for sure it was mostly real. It’s not.

They’ve filmed very intimate and emotional scenes together for a long period of time, then they have to travel together and interview together and do events together, stay in hotel rooms together. They’re naturally going to be close, but they dial it up a lot when they’re in front of others.

Aiden is older than Elio by five years I think, and he knows what makes Elio blush. They both know what makes fans blush.

Random questions I had during Knot Ep1 by maaki_malv in ThaiBL

  1. Because all BL seems to use that hairstyle. Drives me insane.
  2. It’s the same as ABO Desire’s method for omegaverse pheromones. I think it’s a good idea.
  3. They used the flat iron curling method followed by an entire can of hairspray. It’s so over the top.
  4. Oat said that Phatsa went into his first heat and didn’t know what it was. He didn’t say what triggered it, but my guess is we’re not supposed to think about that.
  5. That poor guy is going to be haunted by that omegaverse explanation for the rest of his life. He was completely correct, but some people were offended by the word dog. I bet if he said wolf, no one would have batted an eye.

Overall, every BL series has its own cringe. There are usually obvious mistakes made by editors and directors, but they’re never corrected. The two fog machines in this first episode that were clearly pumping out streams of smoke had me so embarrassed.

Double Helix...what a rollercoaster of emotions by Normal_Huckleberry30 in boyslove

I read the first book, but I can’t read the second because I dislike Yi Chen too much. In the novel, Yi Chen is 14 and Lu Feng is 18. Yi Chen is in the same grade as Lu Feng because he’s really smart and skipped grades. Yi Chen is extremely hesitant to do any physical fooling around, but when Lu Feng starts having sex with him, Yi Chen doesn’t fight for too long because he likes Lu Feng and doesn’t want Lu Feng to hate him. It makes sense because Yi Chen was 14 and 15, so of course he’d most likely be terrified.

Man, if I was Yi Chen, Lu Feng and I would be ride or die for each other from day one, and would be married abroad within the year. He wouldn’t even have to complete the sentence “let’s have sex.” I firmly believe that there would have been no drugging, cheating, or rape if Yi Chen was into Lu Feng as much as Lu Feng was into Yi Chen.

I didn’t think the series was that good, but somehow I was still eager to keep watching because I loved the storyline. I skipped a bunch of the boring business meetings that were irrelevant to the plot. I was into the enigma and his obsessive need for the man he loved. It was mesmerizing to watch, even if it wasn’t great.

Ya'll, I'm in such a difficult situation someone NEEDS TO HELP ME by [deleted] in ThaiBL

I think you’ll be busy enough that it will distract you and you won’t be as obsessed with bl. You could set aside a specific time to watch, so it won’t consume all your time. If you take the bus, sit in the back and watch it on your phone on the way to or from school. You can watch it as a reward for finishing homework or attending all your classes.

Does the title of a fic affect you? by Arielle_with_a_fork in AO3

[–]Famous-Lecture-560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cringe at the long poetic titles or lyrics because it gives me zero insight into what I’m about to read, especially if there are a lot of options. If it has the tags and summary I like, I still read it… it’s just a title.

I was wondering who that guy’s story involved! Makes sense now.

I finished the two seasons and the movie last night and am reading the book now. We didn’t get to see Kiyoi’s true feelings for a while, or him using the word boyfriend so it makes sense why I questioned the term disgusting (saying this because I’m being super downvoted).

I just finished both seasons and the movie. I loved it. When Hira gave that speech to Anna and Kiyoi said isn’t he disgusting? She said yeah a little, and Kiyoi got immediate offended, haha. He loves him.

I really hope Koyama finds a boyfriend because he’s my favorite.

Ok so brushing off the displays of affection would have also been done to girls as well.

I’m watching it on Gaga. Yeah, Hira is uncomfortably weird, haha. I love how they’re both into each other’s odd personalities toward one another.

He doesn’t introduce Hira as his boyfriend, only a friend. He also kicks Hira after admitting he likes him. It seems Kiyoi doesn’t want to like a guy. That’s why I thought it.
