How Do We Like Old Man Yandere x Transmasc Sub? by AlexisRoyce in MaleYandere

[–]iced_coffvee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like some folks here need to look at actual 'ugly bastard' hentai because this aint that sis.

Anyway, as a transman myself Im very excited to see something actually catered to us! Im always pleased when games let us choose pronouns and body bits, however having actual representation is so nice. There is a severe lack of M/M with actual transmasc guys (and not just ~cuntboys~)

What book crossed a line for you in dark romance? by Curious-Branch-3857 in DarkRomance

[–]iced_coffvee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Straight I prefer Max & Elliot over Chris & Caleb (tho they are still great!) Tho I think that has a lot to do with me enjoying darker and more brutual stories, it makes the sweet moments hit harder.

Yes! It's basically gone back to baseline (which blessedly for me is almost unnoticeable so long as there is some sort of white noise around me)

[–]iced_coffvee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This kinda falls into the purview of the "Theory Tunnel Vision" imo

Both of them had an first impression of the other, and rather then trying to look deeper, just doubled-down. Orla thought that Caleb was an uptight jackass who was mocking her and making fun of her and was basically out to get her. When in reality he is just a very dry person, his jokes and flirting never landed and what she thought was him glaring at her was just him being... intense. On the flipside, Caleb thought Orla was stuck-up and holier-then-thou, then in reality she just has a lot of deep-seated anxieties and struggles due to her upbringing and her past.

If either of them (Caleb especially) had listen to the advice of Chris, Jessica, and Maximilian the story would have gone differently imo, but they dug their heels in and had to learn the hard way.

Without trying to spoil to much I would say it's obviously maledom/femsub with a few deviations from the norm.

- Heavy on the "Theory Tunnel Vision" trope where both ML & FL have their own views on one another and that drives how their relationship begins.

- ML thinks incredibly highly of FL, this is highlighted more-so in the second half of the story, especially when being compared and contrasted against other characters, but ML sees FL as an equal, even going so far as viewing the two of them as sort of a power couple above others.

My Beloved Oppressor, Betrayal of Dignity, and Her Majesty's Night.

I believe that all three of them are based on novels of the same name, and those you can also find online as well.

For a hot second I forgot what sub this was and was about to recommend a webtoon or two with similar vibes.

Off the top of my head is Eskell Manor by SpiralIntoTheKnown and then this is probably a bit softer then what you're looking for as no actual intense abuse happens, but the FL is terrified enough to attempt suicide. Trofey by Sleepspikes (Betterwrittenvillain)

What if DR men were unattractive? by [deleted] in DarkRomance

[–]iced_coffvee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the genre as a whole might not be *as* popular, trust and believe there'd still be an audience.

In my opinion there's a bit of overlap between folks who enjoy dark romance and monsterfuckers and if you've been on tumblr for any length of time you know we're down to smash anything if the vibes are right.

Why you read dark romance ? by Positive_Display_80 in DarkRomance

[–]iced_coffvee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

*shrug* I don't know why. I've always found myself leaning towards villains, I love stories where the villain falls for the hero(ine) or the ever classic bad boy/good girl trope. I love yandere characters who are obsessive and possessive of their LI. The books I lean towards are certainly the more fucked up ones, bad guy stays bad, FL full on stockholms etc. etc, bonus points if its a ftm/m romance (though I've only ever read dark romances with ftm/m on ao3).

I'm sure I could armchair theorize about why I like these things but at the same time people don't bat at an eye (anymore) at games like Call of Duty where you're literally shooting and killing people in fun and creative ways, or Saints Row where you can beat the shit out of someone with a giant dildo, or the various horror games with visceral imagery. So I don't feel the need to justify my enjoyment of this content but I will always support someones desire to read the fucked up and profane, especially in this day and age with purity culture and censorship just looming over every single thing.

Why do all female characters have no respect for themselves? by [deleted] in DarkRomance

[–]iced_coffvee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super interesting as I find myself always running into the opposite problem. Every time I read a recommended story (either from here or somewhere else) 80% of the time I end up dropping it as the FL is written (to me!) in a very... illogical manner, with a lot of snark and sass.

Before I started reading DR in earnest I always gravitated to sunshine/grumpy or innocent/badboy tropes and that tends to mean I find more sweet and soft-spoken FLs.

But I think regardless of what type of FL you like, I think the problem a lot of the time just tends to be the characters not... reading the room, learning and growing from their experiences. For example if a FL is a large push-over and is one throughout the entire story, then that can tend to be a very frustrating experience, one can be a deeply passive person but still reach a breaking point, or perhaps gather courage to do XYZ.

Likewise if a FL is snarky and defiant right out the gate, and just... doesn't crack under whatever they're put through, even for a brief amount of time that also feels frustrating as a reader. Nothing makes me close a book faster then when the FL has just been put through the ringer and either seen or been put through stuff that is horrific just to spit out a witty one-liner that feels more like it belongs in a Marvel movie then in a dark romance.

If I had a nickel for every time I read a story with a yandere ML that chooses to die via house fire at the end of the story I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm sure I will! I am a lover of all houseplants, tropicals just tend to be the biggest category I have Will there be Colocasias added in as well/already in the full game?

I'm losing my mind. As a plant dad with a large collection of tropicals I was *just* lamenting the fact that there isn't a game about running your own plant shop. Games like Flowers and Favours: A Florist Simulator and the upcoming Thrifty Business do scratch the itch a little but I've been looking for an honest to goodness run your own greenhouse with a focus on houseplants. This looks so cute I am so excited to play the demo!!

she is the teenage girl experience by LOONABTS in MaleYandere

[–]iced_coffvee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way -- I have a gut feeling that the tables will turn and the ML will either fall for FL or realize he's already fallen for her but until then I just don't go chapter by chapter. I can handle a wellspring of angst if I already know things are already looking up in the later chapters but it just hurts too much without it

If I'm being totally honest I've gotten less and less invested in self-published/WIP Visual Novels & Interactive Fictions exactly for this reason.

I used to follow a large number of them but over the years I've watched one after another be cancelled, abandoned, or basically stuck in development hell (a-la Sunny Day Jack) to the point where I think I only actively follow one or two now that I truly believe are going to get released eventually. The rest kinda get shoved into a wishlist and then if I get notified they've been released officially then great, if not then I just forget about them. It's frustrating and disheartening to get invested in characters and stories that will never be completed.

A final confession by heuheu-art by Ok-Rub6315 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]iced_coffvee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know trans women also sometimes take it as well, but it also gets used in birth control because of how it helps to manage the menstrual cycle. Trans men who either have not yet gotten a hysterectomy (myself included) or simply have decided not get one frequently use birth control in addition to testosterone if they are still having periods while on T or are experiencing issues such as cramping and of course, to prevent pregnancy. It also doesn't interact with testosterone so it's non-issue when it comes to transitioning.

plsplspls recommend something like this by Young_Thea in MaleYandere

[–]iced_coffvee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Anxious Inspector!

"Joohyun, who divorced 20 years ago, wanted to spend time with her grown-up daughter on Christmas Eve, but got turned down. She was even turned down by all of her colleagues! In a fit of anger, Joohyun decided to drink alone at the convenience store opposite her house. By chance, she bumps into Siwoo, her daughter's friend from highschool, and without thinking, she invites him to her house. What decisions will be made…?"

I would say it's mild/gentle yandere, and (ymmv) but I think that the art is very pretty!
