/bl/ - General BL

During the downtime I've embraced the muscular boys.
>>2387
Never read it so depending on the quality I might try to into the series.

>>2388
It's pretty good, got a surprising amount of heart in it, one arc in particular is borderline BL.
>During the downtime I've embraced the muscular boys
Out of curiosity, what got you to like them? some anime in particular?

>>2389
I met a guy on discord who was into bara and some of the art he shared in the server was appealing especially fan art of older 80s and 90s OVAs, not so much a fan of hyper sexual muscle dudes but the macho "manaime" protagonist look is cute. I'd always been a fan of older series so I guess it just took seeing cute art of more typically muscular men to realize their cute potential too.

>>2375
The artist's name is inplick. I love her content.

>>2337
Slow Damage is dogshit just like DMMD, don't waste your time

>>2378
Aww, why do you hate DMMD? Not all routes are equal but it's got that clear Nitroplus budget behind it.

>>2333
>>Do you find medical themes common in BL?
I do not, lot's of nurse and doctor boy fanart like pic related but I don't actually see the topic come up much in BL works.

>>2110
I know the board died… I wish it hadn't though.

>>2111
wellp. good enough I guess.

Wish there were more fics with young erwin and older levi. I want to write one where erwin gets creeped on by the new personal bodyguard hired by his father.

>>2110
why /sh/ deleted. i dont like shota, but i rather have shota specific board for shotafag containment

>>2206
kek

>>2258
I'm unfamiliar with FE, but I always love these types of male characters. Surrounded by fawning women, but they don't give a fuck or are actively gay and don't even realize the attention. Always super funny.

>>2206
My boy! I really hope PoR/RD get remasters or remakes or at least ported to the switch because I am dying for more Tellius. It really is astounding how gay he is, even with the English localization toning it down and trying to create romantic tension between him and Elincia in PoR.
>>2258
Engage is reviving the "is Ike gay" discussions in FE fandom and it is absolutely hilarious. They're really hammering it in, what with him still having no interest in women and only calling another man(who looks like Soren, hmmm) beautiful.

>>1425
Thanks for the reply! I'll make sure to check the first two series out.

I'm not really into nendoroid but I just discovered this and I'm considering getting them

>>2209
I haven't bought anything in years but I will definitely be getting them.

Askeladd/Thorfinn got me sweating lately, and there's a disappointing amount of content for them despite both being main characters from an anime currently airing its second season. I need young Thorfinn to get destroyed so badly nonas. I need it like I need air.

Consider it PTSD from previous events before this site was created, if you know then you know.

If that's the case then what I usually do since I do not go to school or college anymore is that I always have a BL related keychain hanging from my purse, usually has Aoba on it because he's the most recognizable in terms of being a yaoi boy. Being a big autismo this method have helped me weed out the no yaoi anime fans I come across in daily life and the fujos would approach me whenever they feel comfortable, for example when doing grocery shopping or if I'm out on business related meetings. I've met a fujo store manager because she noticed my keychain, I always keep it on tables and in places they can notice, I don't pull it out when I notice there's more moid than women since the fujo will probably be automatically uncomfortable that way. In conclusion just have something on your person that indicates you're a fujo and they'll eventually approach you, gotta have patience too because not everyone will be as courageous. Best of luck!

Honestly I have a hard time remembering what exactly it started with, but it was a mix of me stumbling upon fanfiction of pop-punk bands I listened to, along with South Park, my first anime Soul Eater and Kingdom Hearts. This all happened around 2009 and it was like a yaoi switch flipped in my brain.

Started off as trying to get my hands on any Naruto doujins I could read in english growing up, regardless if it was BL or het to then shipping picrel in full earnest
Surprisingly after moving on from Naruto I was more into yuri and didn't read any yaoi since then until about 3 or 4 years ago
Now once again I've been reading fics/doujins of KakuHida, despite never even keeping up with Naruto after their arc kek
>>1178
>I was confused at first to see two guys being paired up with each other
Surprisingly I never felt that confusion, just "oh, these two look good together" when looking at yaoi
It always surprises me to hear others being confused when first discovering it (but maybe I'm the weird one here)

pray that the pic shows up in the right order it feels weird calling this ship obscure since Fire Emblem is a popular franchise and Fire Emblem Echoes sold well as far as I know. Still it doesn't have a big fandom specially compared to other games in the franchise. Tobin and Kliff don't get much focus in the game(and by the fandom) but we do get some hints of their personal lives and personalities. Their support is really sweet. Kliff wants to close himself of to other people but Tobin wants to break trough that barrier. You can tell that Kliff also respect Tobin for his openness and he appreciate how Tobin is not giving up on him. Both characters have some insecurity issues and I think they could lift each other up. It's tragic that I can't find more fics or fanart of these two as a couple because I'm starving

>>2159
No iirc Echoes sold badly because it's a remake of an old game people already didn't give a shit about, and it got released not long before the Switch came out. It's not even like FEH could help you with them because they're not popular enough to have alts.

>>2175
so my rarepair was doomed from the beginning ;-;

>>2026
Nostalgic

With the continued popularity of things like Country Humans and other attempts to bishie-fy countries do you think Hetalia is to blame or is there just something innately appealing about humanized countries?

>>2080
Well drawings of humanized countries have always been a thing. Like all those old political cartoons.

>>1572
it could just be cinematics
the actual game may not look like that

I'm a sucker for souls-like shit so I'm already excited regardless of potential fujo pandering, but if we do get any food then I'll be fucking glad.

>>1557
I'm glad this is the year we all acknowledge Pinocchio is pretty dope.

Game kinda give me Alice: Madness Returns vibes in that gritty-childhood classic way. Agree with >>2075 Souls-likes are great so regardless of anything else it'll atleast be fun I'm sure.
