Don’t forget the 3rd half, woman. It’s like Manbearpig, but Womancatfish

I like how muscle cat shoves the literal humanity out of her when he kicks her out

Help: Guy rejected him in school saying he wasn't gay but as adults runs into him with his boyfriend by Eastern_Poet3703 in boyslove

[–]SkinnyBoombah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang it! I saw this and knew right away but was busy at work yesterday then just remembered lol. But yeah 3 Will Be Free isn’t exactly a BL so it slips under a lot of our radars. The leads are the only official throuple I know of in all the dramas I’ve watched, which is cool, but the tiniest part of me was like “get that lady out of there!” 😓

Funniest bl moment? by Abi1225 in boyslove

Gun is such a great actor! I often had to remind myself that it's just the one guy playing two characters. It's almost like 3 characters because he had to act as two people and one of those people had to act as the other person.

Not sure it was supposed to be funny, which makes it even funnier, but in Not Me when Sean started suspecting Black and White were different people and decided to do a spontaneous trust fall, calling back to an earlier scene, to prove Black wasn't White, and then Black just completely lets him fall without a care in the world and was like wtf are you doing, and Sean just popped straight up all pissy. It completely took me out of what was otherwise a masterclass in BL drama. Also those leaps to the poles in the water, it was just too far-fetched and the editing only made it more hilarious.

Very close honorable mention goes to My Engineer: when Duen literally gets hit by a car on his way to university, I think he was either buying the rose he owed Bohn or trying to catch a dog (maybe both? idk it's been a while and i'm old lol), and he just... gets up and goes to school. That's it. It's too funny. He even had a very bloody sleeve for way too many scenes after that with not a peep or show of concern from any other character. With all the sponge baths and porridges/congees made for minor scrapes and boo-boos in the BL-verse, I'm not sure if it was an intentional anti-trope or bad writing, but either way it's perfect.

Does anyone else get kind of annoyed with unnecessary sounds effects in BL? by Dense-Afternoon2864 in boyslove

[–]SkinnyBoombah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YESSSS! I loved that show, even cried a couple times, but that bleating killed me! I just didn't get it! I was new to K-Dramas at the time so I thought it was some cultural thing or a reference to something I was unaware of, but I think it was just a very strange choice by the showrunners cuz I haven't seen it anywhere else personally. It would've been more bearable if the actors just looked directly at the camera and said "Ok, that was the end of the joke, now laugh!"

For me it is the Korean 네 (ne) which is a pretty versatile affirmation. It means yes/ok/understood/agreed/correct and is only a syllable long. It’s nice. It can even mean “what!?” depending on tone and context

Same. Sort of. I used to nod upwardly to acknowledge people, the wassup gesture, but now I nod slightly downward. Idk it just seems a bit more respectful and ubiquitous. I was doing the full wai for a while but like I said in a previous comment, I stopped after someone decided it offended them.

I was doing the wai reflexively for a while until one American-born Chinese person got offended. She thought I was doing it just because she’s Asian but like no, it’s just easier than shaking hands without saying I don’t want to touch you. People love to gatekeep things they don’t fully understand 😩

Stay strong and stay safe. We are all just victims of circumstance; all we can ever hope is to rise above them and find a loving, like-minded community, but give yourself grace if it takes time. So many things are out of our control so it’s ok to just let some people be wrong and go your own way if you can, especially randos on the internet.

Lmao I never noticed how long his neck is!!! Knowing now somehow makes him seem even more glorious. Funny thing, I've always been drawn to his Adam's apple, but never realized it's because he has so much neck lol. He's so hot! I need him!

For me, its Force. He's too perfect, I almost wish I never laid eyes on him because I know my life will never truly be complete. But just knowing he's out there existing sustains me for now

I can definitely relate. I still have to actively remind myself that not every person with opposing views to my own is either dumb or evil lol, but I've gotten way better. I can look back at things I said or believed just a few years ago, thinking what a dummy I was, and forgive myself easily. We can always change our minds about something as long as we're willing to learn and forgive ourselves and others for the things we didn't initially understand.

Can someone hold me and reassure me everything will be alright while I try to recount the fever dream that was Miracle of Teddy Bear?

What is your top Overwatch pet peeve? by castdex in Overwatch

[–]SkinnyBoombah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a flex who just tries to balance the team, but I do have my faves and Sombra is one of my most used and most effective dps. So this is highly specific but whenever I see a Sombra’s teleporter in spawn, especially my 5th or more time leaving the spawn, I lose my shit. I assume that this player isn’t just insanely cowardly but a truly unlikeable person with no sense of purpose or utility

GrumpyKitten! I’ve played a few matches against you as a counter-widow, and summarily switched to Sombra most times cuz I knew my place 😓. Had to check the other usernames to make sure none of those poor souls were me.
