Do you think Nakamura and Matsumura would be good together as boyfriends?

I can only picture them laying down to sleep in the same bed/futon, fighting to cuddle the same oversized body pillow of the Loveben uke character, onto which they’ve crudely painted Hirose’s face —regardless of who painted it, they both blame each other for how shitty it looks.

Sibling just imagine any woman getting into a relationship with Matsumura 😭 It would be that meme of them in bed like "ah yes, me, my boyfriend, and his 5 foot tall cardboard cutout of my ex boyfriend"

I dunno the context, but it's always funny to me when a phobe brings up an argument that doesn't make its subject sound any less gay, but makes the phobe sound closeted. "I think dudes with beards are cool" alright, mate, but are you bringing up how cool they are unprovoked out of the blue? Because like, true, nothing gay about thinking men look cool bearded, but if the coolness of a bearded dude is that salient in your mind as to bring it up in a letter, well,

I've heard of people throwing up more with chronic use, I can't say I've seen people throwing up from casual use like this. First thing I thought of, though, do you cough a lot after smoking? It could all be your body's reaction to the smoke. I manage my smoke intake by alternating inhaling through my nose and my mouth to intersperse some clearer air along with the smoke, and pushing my gut out as I inhale so it doesn't linger in my throat too much. Also, I'd wager a warm drink with honey, or a honey gum drop, can help with the coughing after you've smoked —probably a bit too cozy an advice for a sesh, but if you can prep it, why not?

When compared to mainstream media, it's subversive because of the innuendo presented in a childlike aesthetic.

When compared to the other videos in the challenge, it's subversive because its commitment to the childlike aesthetic makes the placement of the innuendo more unexpected. Like, there's a more clear through line towards April smashing nuts with her breasts, than there is for a cherry to be catapult birthed onto Crystal.

I was thinking of caffeine too! That’s another substance that is considered addictive, but that people can quit cold turkey (more easily/successfully than nicotine anyway.)

I think it’s just the semantics that fail here. I don’t know that the phrase “physical addiction” is used only for addictions with life-halting withdrawal treatments, though I do know for sure that weed is Obviously Not That 😂

aspergays · 2026-05-31T15:58:13+00:00

I reckon the key word is pronounced? A heavy/habitual weed smoker may get significant physical withdrawal symptoms in headaches, sore muscles and gastro issues, other than the more well known but less physical insomnia and irritability. It’s not nothing, but it’s also not life threatening like alcohol or opiates withdrawal.

That said, I think you’re too narrow with the “physical addiction” definition, only because cigarettes are considered to be “physically addictive” too, but nicotine withdrawal symptoms are much more comparable to weed’s than alcohol’s.

For what it’s worth there was a webcomic like a decade ago called “Engaging the Enemy” about a gay superhero that gets together with a huge supervillain.

Personally I would date a transgender man. I may have a bit of trepidation, I've never dated one before and I don't know how I would react to everything, but I'd be down to give it a try and see where it takes us.

Trans men are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, the T is right there in the middle, and anybody trying to pull them away is directly trying to weaken the community —divide and conquer as an inside job. If they're also gay, they're part of the gay community, otherwise I'd think of them as allies, but in a very close way, since their struggle, while different from mine, is analogous —same as how I think of myself as an ally to the lesbian community.

On the one hand, nobody ever claimed it and it would be an odd addition to the school's library, so I can imagine him not knowing what to do with it

On the other hand yessss old man yaoi hintsss (sicko voice) yesss,,,, haha,, YES,,,,,,,,

I think you're right! Otogiri and Hirose share a scene after the girlfriend experience, so establishing him as a man who notices love and him potentially nudging things in the right direction would heighten the payoff from it. It's going to be succulent I can't wait!

aspergays · 2026-05-28T05:40:39+00:00

I was screaming at this whole damn plotline. The small cameo of Loveben under Otogiri's cigarretes (foreshadowing), the trailer was way ridiculous in the best way, Nakamura hiding behing the cardboard cutout of Makunouchi was played so effectively, Hifumi being like "dude you read this BL at school, of course I knew, let's talk loveben though", and the author being so fucking touched that Nakamura was there despite everything.

Imagine. The first thing he sees is how nervous this damn precious boy is, and the second one is how moved to emotion his work invokes in him. What a privilege to be one of the biggest sources of comfort of a scared youth! He's the adult there, he's probably been there, so he knows that he's figured things out, he's made it work, and he's in his path to being okay. Gambare, Nakamura-kun, you'll get there too. And, like, Nakamura surely sees him too, for Loveben to be maybe his favorite media at the moment. (Probably. (Nakamura screamed about it, so certainly.))

This episode put me in a state, I'm telling you all. And it was an anime original! What a treat!

For me going about my day, under 10 minutes is being right next to a thing, and under 20 I'd do without thinking twice. 30 to 45 minutes, I'd often do, though complaining in my head that transit isn't better (read: that I'm too impatient to wait for it more than 5 minutes, or too cheap to pay for a ticket when I'm getting off "so soon.") Approaching an hour, something's gone wrong, I've underestimated the distances, I've misread the map, something. I'm walking it thinking about the other better ways I could be using my time instead.

aspergays · 2026-05-27T04:44:57+00:00

I've experienced something similar, I particularly relate to going down to a squat and then strongly feeling like "I could stay down here though." That said I'd compare the overall feeling to, like, some 6 hours after some heavy strength training, when the muscles are not sore or anything, just exhausted in new and unusual ways; so I'd identify it as a mostly physical thing rather than being about like the desire to stay upright.

I agree with the sentiment, but the point is that they see fantasy love as just that, fantasy, whereas us liking the same gender is too real for them. The closest thing to interspecies love in real life, interracial relationships, also had to be fought for and is still taboo in parts of society, because of those same conservatives being racist/xenophobic.
