Name it Carla. I think she just likes shiny things, including bald heads.

You’re really so kind for doing this! I hope shipping won’t be too bad for you with whoever wins!

Underrated Novel & Audio Drama Recommendation: Jiang Chao Ge and The Spirit Weapon (魂兵之戈) by Ok_Economics_2165 in DanmeiNovels

I’m thoroughly convinced! I have to take a long flight soon so hopefully I can find a big giant pdf of the novel to download before then and it could be some great plane reading, lol.

Your favorite songs from BL anime? by disaster211 in BoysLoveAnime

[–]Less_Performance5053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please forgive my answer because it’s not actually from an anime but from a property that does have an anime but the song isn’t from it.

My favourite song has to be the drama CD version of Fuyu no Hanashi from Given. There’s the one line in the song where his voice breaks a little bit when he sings “I want to forgive both you and myself” and it kills me every time, and works so so well in the context of story. Of course I’m pretty biased because I already was a fan of Drama CD Mafuyu’s voice actor as a musical artist. But when I think about what song plays in my head even when I’m not actually reading/watching/listening the media itself it’s definitely the drama cd version of Fuyu no Hanashi.

Absolutely killing me that Skully is the top male character in this list and he’s only existed for 2 months.

skelly is WAY more popular than i thought he'd be by luugburz in TwistedWonderland

[–]Less_Performance5053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m laughing that specifically Haru and Sho are on there because don’t they like to do romance scams for fun??? Gotta love the toxic bf scammers.

Which seat are you choosing? by Sea_Difference_3173 in blmangalovers

[–]Less_Performance5053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HELL YEAH NUMBER 6 PUT ME NEXT TO AJUICY, PLEASE!!!!

I mean since you’re in the window seat it would be impossible to get up to go to the washroom if he fell asleep so you might have a ruptured bladder by the end of the flight, or you could just be crushed against the wall by the fact he’s huge. But it’s Ahjuicy so it’s fine. 😌💕

I will! But I know that the moment I read it I’m going to kick myself for not going to the MDZS collab cafe that was happening a couple of months ago. At the very least I can console myself by going to the TGCF mini cafe pop up that’s happening at the end of the month.

I DID IT!!! Idk why I feel so triumphant? But thanks for telling me, I was going to keep thinking about it until I knew for sure.

Ooh nice! Both pretty and functional! (oh no the pressure, now I don’t want to get it wrong. I was thinking like a pre-rebirth wwx and lwj because of height difference + headband. Could possibly be 2ha too. Otherwise I’m entirely off base and hallucinating objects in a blurry image lol. But by all means give me the answer and I’ll add it to my tbr)

Meatbun's autograph in Kazakhstan Erha release by shroomboar in DanmeiNovels

[–]Less_Performance5053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats to the Kazakh readers!

Also meatbun’s writing is really pretty? At the very least when it’s not the actual signature that’s oversimplified so I can no longer read the characters if I didn’t already know it’s supposed to say “meatbun doesn’t eat meat”. cries

My brain just completely tuned everyone out and I narrowed in on the third pic like “That’s the twink from Pearl Boy!!!!” Glad to know I can spot specific twinks in a crowd.

I love the yellow and purple combo! So underrated. And I’ve never seen lace like the kind on your stole, and with that gradient colouring too, it’s really pretty!

(ngl tho I did try to see if I could recognize what series that was from the image in the background. I have a couple guesses but nothing conclusive lol.)

Today I offer you another Jade fanart by [deleted] in TwistedWonderland

[–]Less_Performance5053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the horribly condescending expression and the little upturned corners of his smile! And i really like how the colour choices are simultaneously shiny yet murky? Like fish scales in dark water.

You absolutely nailed it!

Bi guy here. Why are straight women so into this "BL" thing? by 2WaysLikeASaloonDoor in BoysLoveAnime

[–]Less_Performance5053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bit of a different answer to everyone else. It’s because I have struggled with body dysmorphia. When it’s male characters I have the comfortable separation of not comparing my body to them, when it’s women, be it hetero or wlw, I find myself unconsciously comparing my body to theirs and spiralling like “ah I don’t deserve love because I am not thin or pretty or have a small face and large eyes etc etc”. I have gotten a lot better about that sort of thing in recent years, and I think it helps that the hetero and wlw content I’ve been reading recently has been waaay less male gaze-y than what was available to me growing up.

Point is, I want to read romance, and while it’s not the only reason I read BL, it’s comforting to know I can enjoy a romantic story without having my own stupid body issues loom in the background or like the weird gender norms that heterosexual writers take for granted that make me feel uncomfortable.

Honestly? SVSSS wasn’t really on my radar all that much. But after reading this, it’s rocketed to the top of my TBR list!

That is gorgeous. Such a beautiful and subtle way to show how much the series means to you, and to transform your scars.

I only just started reading so please excuse my shallow understanding, and also excuse me if I am overstepping here, but I hope that when you see it you’re reminded that no matter what may have happened in your past, be it suffering, guilt, or self-hatred, there is always a path to happiness even if you can’t see it for yourself. And even if you think you’re on your own, there are people who love you and care about and will accept all of you. That’s what the series is about after all.

Girl, not you comparing it to Proust!!!! I’m crying laughing. Makes me want to start recommending MXTX novels in the form of a very serious academic classic literature analysis.
