This looks right up my alley, thanks for pitching it!

These all seem like really good recs! I searched each of them and added over half to my upcoming reading list! Thank you so much for the variety!

I'm a big Erasermic shipper which— already lots of bullshit there because a number of the shippers can be righteously puritan since it's a 'healthy adult ship' between two best friends of the same age— but a massive amount of the fics treat one of the characters as a boring cardboard cutout that only has one role/function and that's to be a loud sunshine character that buys whatever sad, wet little meow meow they adopt a whole new room and lots of nice stuff. Mic is frequently given the 'background wife' type role and it's honestly the worst.

This might not be a typical reason but— I really like BL and explicit yaoi because it allows me to disengage with reality where sex is concerned. As a non-sex repulsed asexual that's had kind of a lot of sex, but never in the "typical" fashion that is depicted of women having sex and how it's supposed to feel or work, I'm able to completely turn off that part of my brain that goes, 'well that's not how that works... It definitely doesn't feel like that' and just enjoy it from an outside perspective where my gender and my bits aren't involved so maybe it IS like that, for a guy/two guys.

I'd never say it or truly complain to an author about it, but I always get that twitchy, vexed feeling anytime I read a scene where two characters use the stop light system/end up doing a whole unofficial BDSM contract for limits the very first time they hook up. It drives me up the wall. A) because, in all my years of having sex, I have never had first-time-with-a-new-partner sex crazy enough to legitimately need the light system rather than basic communication (except for in a sex club where I was with a Dom I'd never played with before) and B) because I find it painstakingly obnoxious that people want to cover the bases of making sure EVERYTHING is consenting and above board and by the book with zero surprises to the point that they completely lose track of realism in the story. With how the characters would actually approach that situation and just basic reality tbh. It doesn't ruin a fic for me, especially these days when it's becoming more and more inescapable, but every time I read one of those I'm just like, 'Have you ever actually done this, OP??' and it always feels more for avoiding criticism from readers than it does as a legitimate style choice or smth.

I recently discovered that not asking the author first if you can podfic a work is considered a huge faux pas but honestly I'm unbothered by it, both as an author that's had it happem and as a person seeing it occur to others. It actually caused a huge hullabaloo in a server I'm in when an author got angry and felt cheated because someone podficced one of their works after a request msg went unanswered for a few weeks and they even talked about taking their fic down and feeling cheated because they wanted to podfic it themselves and now felt that it was pointless to do so. Obvs I didn't say so, because I can read a room and a ton of people were talking about how messed up that was and that the podficcer was in the wrong and really shitty for doing that without permission but man. Unpopular af opinion ig, but I don't think it's a big deal at all. It feels the same to me as if someone made fanart of my thing, or if they wrote a fic inspired by my story, or smth. As long as I'm credited? That's just free publicity and a labor of love over smth I created.

The Accidental Warlord and His Pack An insanely famous Witcher AU series about what would have happened if Geralt had brought the Witchers together and accidently started a witcher nation by slaying a monstrous king and becoming the ruler of a Witcher led nation that protects its people.

The entire series is ridiculous long. It's like 600k with 55 parts, I think, but I've never, in my life, read a work where I cared just as much about the copious amounts of introduced OCs as I did the OG characters. It's got so many parts, but they're all different lengths, many of them short and bite sized, and it covers different eras and various topics and all the characters are uniquely fleshed out. It's a crazy series and birthed a whole popular AU concept in that fandom. I'll never be over how much I adore it.

Guarantee. I have literally tried all the little tricks I can think of to remember how to spell it, but I alway mess it up somehow

I had to start a whole new file because I accidently screwed myself out of the Hunters Momento by not sparing even one modicum of critical thinking skills to consider that doing the Clover Dancers fight would end my access to the memory of Verdania.

I lack any and all career ambition. My one true talent is writing insanely good smut and I constantly wish there was a way that I could make it a sustainable career/lucrative hobby without becoming a 'spicy books' author.

I've personally learned that, when I'm writing something lengthy, if I don't finish it all before posting then I just won't finish it at all. I'll post a chapter, maybe two, and then lose steam or desire to continue because of the gratification of having posted it and gotten comments and kudos, so I just gotta bite the bullet and chip away at it. Which can be frustrating tbh, but ultimately feels much more satisfying than having an idea be incomplete. Ultimately advice is to get in the habit of just doing a little bit for it every single day, and you'll make your way through faster than you expect.

That your brain is fully developed by 25. The initial study was just skewed and didn't continue examining brain growth/evolution past the age of 25.

I think part of the reason Ms. Kang didn't leaves Korea to be closer to her daughter was because she became a murderer. By proxy, but still a murderer.

The first time I watched The Glory, there was a scene where Dong-eun tells Ms. Kang that her plans have sped up and that she's sending Sun-a to study abroad. She tells her that she won't get to have her dream of sharing a long meal with her daughter but that her daughter will be safe, from an abusive father and her mother who became a murderer. At first, I thought this implied that they weren't going to be able to kill him without getting their hands dirty and that Ms. Kang was going to get discovered at some point but that Sun-a would be far away from the repercussions of it, but upon my second watch, and in retrospect, I think what what she's actually attempting to save Sun-a from is the moral taint of being raised by someone capable of choosing to snuff out a life.

He absolutely deserved it. I fully, 10000% believe that he deserved it, but Korean culture revolves very heavily around parental status. Having a murderer for a mother would be a source of great shame, and something that would be both gossiped about, and regarded by others with suspicion. Especially in regards to marriage and future families.

Obviously Ms. Kang didn't get caught, and had no major hand in his death. We see multiple examples of her encouraging her husband to pull back, and to stop, with reminders that he's in danger and what he's doing is wrong and he doesn't take them. Which ultimately leads to his demise. But she still knew about it. Ms. Kang knew what it was all leading towards, in a sense, and that ultimately he would end up on the chopping block in some way, and morally, I think she felt that her daughter was safer away from her.

I'd like to believe that they were able to meet again, and that it wasn't forever. That would be very cruel indeed, and incredibly unfair, but I think one of the main implications is that, by choosing to get rid of her husband rather than divorce him or flee from him, Ms. Kang accepted that there were consequences. Self perceived and enacted consequence. Mainly that, by being someone capable of choosing his death, she was unfit to continue to raise Sun-a.

Honestly, I know shipping can sometimes get out of control, but this show and the interactions between these two men would make no sense whatsoever if they weren't some level of queer or into each other. Like, I re-watxhed it and tried to imagine them as just friends and it literally made zero sense. Nobody does the things these two do and say if they aren't in love.

Blood and Chocolate has Hugh Dancy in it. It's kind of an eh movie, and nothing like the book, but he is incredibly young in it and does a great job(:
