I'll start with Hyacinthus.

He was so beautiful that three Gods fell in love with him at once: Zephyrus, the God of the West wind, Boreas, the God of the North wind, Apollo, the God of the sun, and some random human named Thamyris.

Anyway, Hya-kun had great taste and decided to roll with Apollo, clearly the most attractive seme. Apollo loved him so much he hung out with him on Earth. Presumably they screwed a lot. One day they were playing with a discus and Apollo threw it so hard he split the clouds, and when Hya-kun went to catch it, Jealous Zephyrus blew a wind to send it off course; it killed Hya-kun. Probably instantly.

Apollo wept. He had a flower bloom from Hya-kun's blood, the hyacinth. Later on, he resurrected him, but I think that ruins the story.

Anyway, post gay myths. They don't have to be Greek.

Apollo is one of my favourite gods and I was surprised to learn that he was unpopular even amongst the classics students I know. I guess that in some way Apollo represents many virtues that were expected from youths, so he comes off as perfect at first glance, and that's why some people subconsciously categorizes him as some kind of "jock". While I don't mind modern retellings, I never saw the appeal in them tbh. Most of them are just boring on their own, or they feel unepic compared to the myths. But I really dislike when people try to categorize the gods into american high school tropes like the jock, the mean girl, the rebel, etc. it feels superficial.
At least the ~problematic~ myths tells us something about the human condition or about or our primary fears. Modern retellings just want to turn everything into tropes.
Speaking of problematic myths, the most famous Apollo story is Ovid's version of the Daphne myth. I hear many people bring it up when asked why they don't like Apollo. It is an interesting story. If looking at it from a modern lens, It can be read as a tragedy where both Apollo and Daphne are mind altered.
It is also a reflection of a patriarchal society, where girls were expected to get married whenever they wanted to or not. We can't possibly know how people in ancient time interacted with such stories. Were they cautionary tales for young girls? Were they told to install the proper virtues into young girls? Or did young girls use them to cope with their grief over their lost childhoods? Was it just dark comedy?
It's important to mention that the Ovid version of the Daphne myth was most likely made up as political propaganda, so it's hard to say if the romans really believed the virtues reflected in the story, so it's unfair to judge Apollo based on that single story.
FURTHERMORE most myth were allegorical so they should not be taken literally. There also isn't a canon for the greek and the roman gods, and different regions had different myths. People at that time were probably more preoccupied with what virtues the gods represented (like fertility, chastity, strength, wisdom, etc.) and what they who they were patrons of, rather than worrying about what problematic actions the gods did.

>he was unpopular even amongst the classics students I know
If it's any comfort, that wasn't my experience at all. I personally like him for his associations with plagues and the way people's relationship with him as a figure influenced Athens during the Peloponnesian War (as well as all the other influences his worship had on society). The people I know feel similarly, and they appreciate him for how influential he is on the history/architecture/culture. I'm sorry if this isn't super detailed; I don't want to start rambling about this on a yaoi imageboard kek.
>that's why some people subconsciously categorizes him as some kind of "jock".
I also hate those retellings, and I agree with how it influences people's opinion of him. There's also a weird hypocrisy in people's interpretation of the Hades/Persephone myth, as people online are more lenient toward it (yes, I know there are sympathetic depictions, but there's a surplus of art which portrays it as an unpleasant experience for Persephone). It probably comes from a desire to see Hades as a misunderstood, brooding emo boy, whereas Apollo seems too "perfect" to be misunderstood. I don't know if this makes any sense, but I believe the "Hades is actually a good guy" people just want to feel like they've made some grand discovery because their first exposure to Greek mythology was the Disney Hercules movie. I like Hades, but I get annoyed with people online who like him; they seem to misunderstand the actual purpose of the Greek pantheon and what he represents in that context.
>People at that time were probably more preoccupied with what virtues the gods represented
This is almost certainly true. It's interesting how much of Greek mythology is derived from the depressing conditions of Greek society. That's why so many of the myths are dependent on fate, and even their afterlife is pretty depressing. In most of Greek mythology, humans are at the mercy of their gods because that's probably how living there felt. Most of the gods and myths were meant to be allegorical in nature. The myth of Hippolytus is so interesting to me because it is an illustration of ancient attitudes toward male celibacy vs female celibacy. Likewise, a topic I don't see discussed often is how almost all of the virgin goddesses have soPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

よく、ドラマとかで「生まれ変わってもまた愛し合おう」みたいなセリフがありますよね。
それって、本当に実現できるんでしょうか。

死んだあと、宇宙のすべての生物にランダムに生まれ変わるのだとしたら、「また出会って愛し合える確率」はどれぐらいでしょう。
何しろ地球の細菌とバクテリアだけでも500穣匹(5×10^30匹!)いると言いますから、宇宙全体ともなれば、何億回・何兆回生まれ変わっても出会うのはムリそうです。
もし、わずかな確率で出会えても、人間で言う「愛」みたいな共通の概念を持った生物として生まれて来ないとダメですよね。
何も感じない草や木のような生物に生まれ変わっても、お腹がすいたらすぐに共食いしてしまうような生物でもダメで…

そう考えると、全くゼロとは言えないけど、ものすごく低い確率だと思います。
「愛の力でまた巡り会える」って最後まで信じてるほうが幸せかな…。

I am saying that both is very stupid. Not buying a series someone is a legit fan of is really stupid, especially if it's doing badly. Being too stupid to click a torrent is also stupid, particularly if they prefer eye-cancer versions with watermark instead. Doing both at the same time is the stupidest.

To be fair fujos are way harder to please I think. In a sense I mean. Fujos are attached to specific characters and dynamics, men pay for everything that has pantsus and big tits or sexualized lolis or femboys.
The companies can't tell before which series and male characters might be a hit and which won't. Like look at the hype around Orb for example. It's a 26-episodes long series about mostly super serious, adult men in 15th century's Poland having debates about planets. It absolutely doesn't sound like something that would be a hit anywhere, especially not among young women. And yet, it is.
They are now slowly starting to make merch. I hate it. But I sadly understand it. Fujo love is hard to predict. You cannot just shove a bunch of bishounen or guys with muscles into a series and call it a day like you do with female fanservice that otaku will eat up and buy 300 dollar figures of.

There're a few reasons. From what I gather (don't really engage with the western fanbase like that), it's a mix of finding Jonathan boring, simply not liking the part, or having skipped it entirely (though not necessarily true someone would insta-like the pair if they did read it). PB does have issues but for me imo the relationship between Dio and Jonathan is probably one of my favorite stories being told in JoJo, even with all the funkiness that comes with it being the oldest one. It's very enjoyable for what it is. Hell, Diojona is the only JoJo ship I really consume despite how much I like the series, though I still gotta read parts 7-9. I'm not too bummed in the end, it's not so horribly niche (thankfully!) and I can find a lotta nice KR/JP DJ stuff when I look.

Not really, more like the characters' personalities in general. Something like how a bitter, total loser shut-in and/or otaku is paired up with a handsome, popular man he's jealous of. Happy Shitty Life isn't really like that but the black haired guy is a massive loser and gets bullied by the blond guy for being retarded, jobless and for women finding him annoying and repulsive, I wonder if there's something with a somewhat similar premise? The closest thing I can think of isn't even BL at all, it's Fujoshi Rumi and the main girls sometimes fantasize that their male love interests are secretly into each other, that the plain loser guy is jealous of his handsome, popular friend because girls are all over him but then it turns out it was possessiveness and denial all along.

I've met a number of women who don't know either, but they always come from video game or western fandoms and have only consumed ships through AO3 where name order isn't used.

To be honest I didn't associate the title with a shipping order either. I know that of course but I don't care about shota so I never heard the term OniShota. Thought the oni was just referring the shota. Like a shota that is an evil oni. I assume it stems from oniisan though. Maybe.

Itachi x Sasuke was my absolute first. I was really young and didn't really see them as siblings because of how apart they were at the beginning of Naruto. Elsaanna specifically probably cemented it as an actual need though. Elsanna back during Frozen's first premier was the best time to read fanfiction for how insanely good the stories were and most of all, the recognition that it was awful. Dabbled in a little bit of Elricest and it never hit the same. But lesbian sisters cemented my actual need to see siblings fuck. It bled into everything. Hunter x Hunter, MHA, 'sibling coded' pairings. Someone sees them as family makes it better ngl.

It took a long time for me. When I was 12 I had a weird brief Naruto phase despite not having even watched it (I had friends into it) where I just read fic and doujins and I remember reading an ItaSasu (or was it the other way around?) doujin, but brocest remained a squick for me until fairly recently, I was always put off by typical brocon or siscon characters etc. Years later I read some SZS doujins of Nozomu and his hot doctor brother, but I was just devouring any SZS BL I could find.
The ship that popped my twincest cherry was Zero and Ichiru from Vampire Knight, which I watched in full for the first time with a friend as an adult kek. I think that was the first incest ship I properly 'shipped' while watching it. Funnily enough I also watched OHSHC around the same time but never got into Hikaru/Kaoru.
From there, the first incest ship I actually wrote fic for was from a super obscure anime. I sort-of shipped these guys from the start but then they got revealed as half-brothers and I just rolled with it.
The first brocest ship that made me go actually insane was picrel, Tsugikunicest. They're just a ball of tropes tailor-made to appeal to me and I would've shipped them whether or not they were related, which is pretty much how I feel about all incest ships I have ended up liking.
Now I am even deeper down the rabbit hole with another ship and it feels bad because now is the worst possible time ever to be an incest fujo. Stay strong nonnas.

First order of business. Why the fuck is MyReadingManga so hard to up to? I want to cross archive doujins to both sadpanda and MRM, but it's hit or miss and then they accept furry garbage instead.
