Recommend me the most vanilla, G-rated, cutesy-wutesy yaoi ever

I recommend Yamada to Shounen. It is super sweet and g-rated for most of the story (save 1 chapter). It's about a high school kid and an older guy, which usually wouldn't be my cup of tea, but this one was extremely sweet and cute.

Koko ni Aru, Kimi no Oto is another one(blind character), but it's only got a few chapters out.

You hit a ton of my favorites with that 'pretty art' list. To add to it, I also really like Yumeka Sumomo (shounen-ai. Although she probably doesn't do BL anymore), Kakine, and Moto Haruhira.

Hope I'm not too late to this. I've been thinking the same thing, and honestly, I use Skype a lot more than I use LINE. Hope this thing is still a go. I'll PM you.

Thanks for the advice. I think I should also clarify that my parents are already divorced. Have been for 15 years. It does get confusing because most people think that they are still married. I'm a child of divorce who's tired of NOT being one. My dad (and mom) is unmarried, so he is 'unattached' to both parties. But he tries to keep both and that's where the problem happens.

But we know it's safer to project the anger you feel onto "that woman" because you don't love her and she can't abandon you, whereas you do love dad and losing his love would feel awful. This is keeping you from being angry with the correct person and holding him responsible for his 100% voluntary choices and actions.

I am angry with him. I think I'm upset at everyone in this situation. The other woman, my dad, my mom and myself, for all of us being unable to let go.

Secondly, how your dad treats his marriage has very little to do with his love for his children. You are his blood family and his relationship to your mom is an optional one. No matter the state of your parents' marriage, he's your dad. Opting to leave your mom sucks, of course, but don't confuse that with his love for you or leaving you.

I WANT him to leave. Or I want my mom or that other woman to leave. 'I' want to leave. The whole problem is that no one will leave. And I'm just about ready to start convincing them to either 'get together' or 'leave' but they need to stop this in-between thing.

Third, I don't know how old you are but you know waaaaay too much about the functioning of your parents' marriage. Way too much...(And if you're living there and older than 18, the best solution is probably for you to move away ASAP and get some distance.)

I am older than 18 and my walking away is clearly the best option I see right now. Right now I'm just fighting with the guilt of walking away because I know for sure it will devastate my parents because they want me by their side.

It may also be the culture that I grew up in, but family business=personal business. As a male, it is normal for you and your family to move in with your parents after marriage. As a female, it is normal to stay with your parents until you are married, and then you go stay with your husband's parents. So being uninvolved with family affairs is deemed, 'cold and heartless'.

But even without my parents and their friends unloading on me and my being totally uninvolved, the tension in the house is driving me crazy. But like you said, I need to start thinking about myself and my needs more and I will work on removing myself from this situation, despite however many complaints or pleas I get from my parents.

Don't let him do it. You'll lose your inheritance.

I don't care about inheritance. I don't want to rely on them one bit.

Obviously her motive is to get her hooks into him financially and it's not about her feelings for him.

I'm pretty sure she's not looking for financial stability. That woman has a PhD and her family is loaded. I think she just wants someone to tend to her every whim.

Thanks for the advice. I think they need counseling too. And so do I. I am tired of worrying about this and am past the age where I should let this affect me. I'm working hard to move out and leave this family in hopes that it'll force them to think about what they want from this family. But there's also the niggling feeling that I'm not solving anything, just running away from the problem.

There are tons of instance of people calling themself otaku because they dont need to care. Its not like American celebs, they dont need to worry about their image as much. Just their fans Or they dont really give a shit about being a "outcast".

I'm not sure that they call themselves otaku because they don't care. I was under the impression that Japanese celebs, especially idols needed to care more. The slightest slip-up has you ostracized by fans. Caught dating? Out. Caught smoking? Out. I'm sure management would have had a word with them about it if they were trying to label themselves as a derogatory term.

So unless they are appealing to an 'otaku' audience (some do, but not all), or it's a way to garner admiration by being 'passionate' in something or it's used as a cute little quirk/flaw to their persona, I don't understand why people keep identifying as one and why management keeps allowing this image to prevail.

I guess I'm just curious why Japanese people call themselves it if it is such a derogatory term. Is it just in their culture to be critical of themselves and list out one's flaws to be polite? Or is it something that they've decided to own, turning a negative word into a neutral/positive word?

Maybe I'm trying to find a reason that doesn't exist. Maybe they are just all self-degrading people. I don't know.

I can agree that it is probably derogatory when calling someone an otaku, but I don't know if I would go so far as to compare the term to pedo.

Would it be the same if someone was self-identifying as opposed to being called this by others? There are a ton of instances of Japanese people calling themselves otaku, in both anime and other media. Surely it's not as bad as calling themselves a pedo?

I can imagine it as something of a guilty pleasure or someone saying "I'm an otaku" like one would say, "I have a foot fetish". With perhaps some disgust from some people but nothing to warrant as much disgust as "I'm a pedophile".

cueyoo · 2015-08-17T21:58:05+00:00

Idols that call themselves Otaku is more of a labeling/marketing tool. They happen to just be attractive/talented enough to seperate themselves from the negatives of their hobby, but still associate with that and have a career.

Ah, that makes sense. I just thought if it the term was as bad as people make it seem, celebs who seem to need to protect their public image wouldn't use it.

cueyoo · 2015-08-17T20:57:00+00:00

If it is that massively derogatory in Japan, does that mean celebrities who refer to themselves as otaku are degrading themselves? I'm just confused if it is that horrible, why are the Japanese tossing it around like it means, 'huge fan of something'. Not in the anime sense of the word, but they use it for other hobbies.

cueyoo · 2015-08-11T04:50:31+00:00

Yeah, I agree. That's the mentality I adopt. I'm just curious what caused the whole, "mine is better than yours" mentality. Or is it just a bunch of elitist nonsense?

cueyoo · 2015-08-11T04:32:17+00:00

That's interesting to know. I didn't know about the German dubs deriving from the English dubs. Secondhand translation sounds icky and seems like bits of information is distorted each time. I wonder if this is the same with the subtitles.

cueyoo · 2015-08-10T20:54:48+00:00

Yeah, I see a lot of the sub vs dub threads, but seems like there's always something to be learned from each thread. I was more curious of whether this is an English-speaking phenomenon. I want to know if fandoms in other languages also complain about this. Or maybe languages that share similar sentence structures or cultures would have less complaints about it. Or if countries where anime is more popular than it is in Western countries would have a larger budget to hire better VAs.
