Replacing Boruto with Kawaki, that's cheap, Moon

>Lament about my favorite brocon being dead on lc
>Unintentionally makes another nonna obsess over him
Anyways I'm gonna bump this thread to see if there are any kgb anons left. Saw the leaks and I'm interested in Uruha and Natsuki's relationship. I like Natsuki's little brother complex it's so cutee!!

>>5503
Too many new characters, wish Uruha and Hakuri got to do some cool things as a duo for two chapters at least…

My friend who reads het webnovels keeps telling me that 'autistic bf' is a genre she keeps running into, but no idea if there's a BL equivalent kek

I remember Chu Wanning from 2ha giving me heavy autist vibes.

I can think of a couple fujobait all male cast ones:
Antique Bakery, but you really need forgiving goggles for it because the guy in question has a child and the guy he ends up living with said "ew gays" as a teen and continues to be spooked by the existence of homosexuals (he realizes it's not right and does apologize but is still touchy). If you're okay with that he's quite cute and has this gap between his height and how blindly he'll follow what people ask of him. His disabilities are vaguely discussed but I don't believe they give a name to any of it, just that he doesn't have capacity to raise a child himself and needs to protect his eyesight.

In Korean webnovels with fujobait Debut or Die has a character who is pretty deeply autistic, not just that he will ramble for hours about music composition, but that he never seems able to read the room and blurts out extremely straight forward things like he hasn't understood why everyone is skirting around the point. He also doesn't emote with his face very well and looms about without conveying what he's there for, just waiting for the moment to speak before not knowing when to stop. On first impressions most people think he's scary and glaring. He's typically shipped with a very loud extrovert Latin American character so your mileage will vary on whether you can stand that guy. I quite like the dynamics between the cast and they do make it easy to ship them. Far as I've read nobody is canonically intended to be autistic though.

Is this a spinoff of the stoic Duke of the North types or are they approachable nerds?

>>5481
Ngl the person who translated it has a cute site.

Ironically I did just play Phantom Thief Jade. Lowkey wished it was a bit longer ngl.

The protagonist is really sassy but moe
Not a big fan of the gameplay thus far as someone who’s favorite part of an RPG is exploring dungeons though (you’re limited to how many steps you can take per day because the protagonist has a hunger limit)

>>5488
this is pretty common, though? i was thinking about joining a noncon exchange on ao3 and this came up as a "want" quite a lot. maybe only westerners like it lol. it's my preferred noncon dynamic.

>>5469
Fuck, this is exactly what i like. I've read this page before but i completely missed that term. Thanks anon!

>>5493
I feel like it's something everyone says they want, but very few actually write.

Can someone recommend some fics where the characters really feel in character? The fandom doesn't matter. I'm so sick of reading normally strong stotic characters become blushing maidens with therapyspeak and other ooc nonsense.

>>5486
Ehh, here's a few longer ones I've got saved that I like and think match the characters and tone of the OG work, probably won't appeal to you if you aren't familiar with the copyright though.
I've got over 600 stories downloaded but I feel my tastes are too niche to wholeheartedly recommend, whoops.

>>5487
I'm familiar with 3/4 of these, thank you so much!! especially watchmen, yum

I posted it earlier this year but I keep coming back

That's nice for the people making N+C doujins.

>>5483
>one copy of each doujin sent to them
Nonas I'm feeling an Ocean's Eleven at the Library of Alexandria vibe here. I will need to see their collection.

T°T

>>5465
What a beautiful smile T^T

>>5437
The one where he marries Satoru's mom to continue having sex with him is so hot

>>5438
That one is easily my favorite. It's so fucked up but also super hot. I also like the one where takes young Satoru and locks him in some random house and keeps him as his sex slave.

>>5439
There's a couple like that lol

Mitra-Varuna, two Vedic deities that are known to represent solar deities, either the Sun and Moon, or the phases of the Moon themselves.

"Mitra and Varuna are the two half-moons: the waxing one is Varuna and the waning one is Mitra. During the new-moon night these two meet and when they are thus together, everyone is pleased."

In a sort of seemingly unrelated way, these remind me of Narcissus, the youth that is traditionally said he fell for his own reflection.
>He had a cruel heart, and hated all of them, till he conceived a love for his own form: He wailed, seeing his face, delightful as a dream, within a spring; he wept for his beauty. Then the boy shed his blood and gave it to the earth… to bear.

An excerpt I read on the wiki for Cyparissus:
>The myth of Cyparissus, like that of Hyacinthus, has often been interpreted as reflecting the social custom of pederasty in ancient Greece, with the boy the beloved (eromenos) of Apollo. Pederastic myth represents the process of initiation into adult male life,[3] with a "death" and transfiguration for the eromenos. "In all these tales", notes Karl Kerényi, "the beautiful boys are doubles of [Apollo] himself."[4]

The myth of Narcissus reflects back to Apollo that ties some of these together for me in a poetic way at least.

Yes, I did crop out Echo. The only references to "echo" I want to read about are the ones Hylas left behind calling out to Hercules.

I forgot to mention another common thread is the disappearance close to bodies of water.
