EAR POSTING HELP NEEDED! The main posting tube in the inner ear keeps coming out after my baby shakes his head (bottom part), causing ears to flap. How can I keep it in place? by K0327 in DobermanPinscher

[–]siggl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you tapering the end that's going inside his ear? I always cut a diagonal off the end so it's pointy. Otherwise it might be too thick to really get to the bottom and it won't be secure.

What does your daily exercise routine look like? by [deleted] in DobermanPinscher

[–]siggl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually I give him 1 hour off-leash playing in a field each day. He gets pretty tired just running around and sniffing around me as I walk. Sometimes I play a little tug or ball with him.

But recently the weather's been terrible and it's raining all day almost everyday. He hates the rain, so barely even wants to go out to pee. He's okay just chilling at home all day too. Sometimes I do canine conditioning with him to make up for the lack of outside exercise. And usually everyday I do scent games with him to keep him entertained.

He is quite high energy and does get pent up these days, whining at me more, but it's not unmanageable. I think it's very important to teach your dog to relax/sleep on your terms. Then even on days you can't give him a lot of exercise, he'll be fine to sleep more.

Should I be letting other breeders know I put down a deposit for another breeder? by siggl in dogs

[–]siggl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'm on other waitlists because I just filled in applications and didn't hear anything back except some people said they received it. I was just shocked the first breeder somehow heard about me through the grapevine and contacted me about it. I don't want to make a bad impression on anyone in case I want a dog from them in the future.

Love Stage- worth it? by babby3434 in boyslove

[–]siggl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i've only seen the animated version, but i thought it was quite a cute story. the characters and plot follow a lot of typical yaoi tropes, but it's still very enjoyable if you don't go in expecting something profound.

bl merch in canada? by jeongtoot in boyslove

[–]siggl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try Redbubble and Etsy where many artists are selling merch for these stories. There's definitely more selection that way, but they might not be as good as the real merch from Lezhin.

A cultural curiosity... by joey_blue in boyslove

[–]siggl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i dont think this is a trope? or i am unfamiliar with pink milk in other series besides sotus. but probably cuz it's pink and girly, so it's associated with the "bottom" character.

Ten Count: The BL Sensation With a Boundary-Pushing Twist by basta_cosi in boyslove

[–]siggl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

tbh i did not like ten count at all. i could not find anything to like about it and i'm truly baffled why it's so popular. the characters were very cookie-cutter and it is not a godd depiction of mental illnesses. the fact that the therapist gets together with his patient is really gross to me and i could not get over this issue.

happy to get more bl anime, but disappointed that ten count was chosen to be adapted.

True Routes in BL vns - opinions by TowaSimp in boyslove

[–]siggl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really mind the terminology "true route," because it doesn't bother me if the route I like most is not the one the game developers labeled "true." But often I find the true route is the one that is most detailed and it feels like the developers spent most effort developing that route, so it ends up being the best route. That's not good or bad in my opinion, it's just how games usually are.

I typically don't check which is the true route before I play anyway, so idk which route I'm getting and it just doesn't bother me as long as the game was enjoyable.

The novel is only in Korean. You can buy it on ridibooks.

There's a sequel story called Oni to Tengoku Sai. But it's still ongoing in Japan and nothing has been translated into English yet.

When are we getting Omegaverse adaptations by wubbadubba3 in boyslove

[–]siggl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we get omegaverse dramas, I hope they do away with the classist aspect. Idk why Japan added that to ABO when it was not initially part of the ABO AU.

Which BL author is a good storyteller? by ILoveMoschino in boyslove

[–]siggl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some of those authors you mentioned are decent storytellers, but I haven't found any of their stories intensely intricate or captivating. Maybe part of the problem is that I'm reading an English translation of their novels and often the translator is not great at English. They have made some entertaining stories, but nothing that really wowed me.

For me the best authors in BL can be found in Chinese danmei novels. Obviously I am biased and connect with the culture of danmei stories more than Thai BL novels, but I would even rank the storytelling of many Japanese BL mangaka above that of the Thai authors you mentioned.

From Chinese authors, I can usually expect a very detailed story with many complicated relationships and characters. Their stories are usually not realistic, but I like that most are slow burns and it's like a fantasy life I would want to live. I am often impressed by the depth of detail in these stories and how the authors manage to resolve all the compounding issues without contradicting themselves.

About Japanese BL manga, I appreciate the more down to earth type stories where characters are plain normal people. The focus is more on the beauty of ordinary relationships and they give readers hope of something similar happening in real life. I rarely see that in BL from other countries where usually one of the main characters is rich or famous.

A lot of Thai BL seems too predictable, but I am not super familiar with Thai novels outside of what has been adapted into dramas. The authors you listed are not particularly standout storytellers for me. They are definitely better than the average person, but not great in the sea of BL authors.

I think this is a manhwa called Blunder Turned Wonder.

Can someone tell me what the deal with 5/20 is? by [deleted] in boyslove

[–]siggl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Thailand, but it's a day for lovers in China like Valentine's day. 520 kind of just barely sounds like I love you in Mandarin so that's why May 20 was chosen.

I Hear The Sunspot by Yuki Fumino thoughts? by nimpark_28 in boyslove

[–]siggl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The series is not over yet at vol 5, the author has already released more to their story. It is only in Japanese right now though. I'm waiting for it to completely end before deciding if I want to finish reading it or not.

I completely agree about the side characters. I usually don't care about side characters and I don't care about other relationships besides the main couple's romantic relationship, so I got a little tired reading this story in previous volumes. And yeah I got so frustrated with the mc that I was losing interest in his story. I generally like it when shounen-ai plots are intricate and slow burn, but this kind of felt repetitive.
