/bl/ - General BL

>>3499
I wanted to get a cake but couldn't. I also wanted to reread several BL manga but got lazy so I'll do that later this week. I let a friend borrow some of them two weeks ago and she didn't give them back to me yet so I can't read some of them until this weekend.

>>3499
I plan on baking a cake and getting some 801 candles to place on top of it!

Oh wow HAPPY YAOI DAY everyone! Hope you all have a good time. May all your ships get great fanart, fanfic and become canon. And may you come across new work that hits the spot for you just right. And great RP partners if you RP. I wish that for all of you.
Anyway, lately I'm into forcing AI to write romantically tense scenes between random ships. I am gonna keep using this highly-invested-into, powerful technology for these meaningful purposes. Happy 8/01! (Perhaps we should also claim January 8th, double the celebration).

Nothing much, really. Completely forgot about it this year unfortunately so I'll just be reading manga and drinking whiskey.

It's that time of the year again! Are you celebrating? If so, what are you doing?

>>5371
trying to clear my BL backlog, too much slop to read

>>5371
Happy Yaoi day! I don't have any big celebratory plans but I'll of course be reading doujins at work as usual. lel.

>>5371
I don't know how to celebrate yet. I'll probably just read some BL manga I haven't read in a while or order more of them with what's left in a gift card I have right now. I have work to do this morning so I can't slack off just yet though.

>>5371
Just gonna draw when I wake up and read books.

>>5371
Giirl, I have been a fujo for almost 30 years and I've never celebrated before.

What should I watch? I kinda feel like at least also watch a 3dpd movie that I never got around to watching before. Maybe Maurice, something classic.

Happy yaoi day!

Perhaps I'll read several fics in one go in celebration…

>>3499
I'll try writing a fic I've thought about for bit even though my writing sucks ass, maybe read some bl manga too. There was one I picked up the other day called Oujisama no Dakimakura which is pretty standard and fluffy, perfect for coffee

I didn't look at the calendar last night (like 1AM), but I felt a feverish urge to look through my OTPs folder and pump out some sketches of them. Haven't done that in a while. I knew there must have been a reason.
Happy yaoi day!

It's this time of the year again! Happy Yaoi Day!

>>7111
Why is today yaoi day

801! 801! 801!

>>7112
Google, or any other search engine, is your friend

There's a heatwave and I'm sick again. Time for me to celebrate our blessed day by staying at home and reading my volumes of Lala no Kekkon because I forgot what happened in the first volumes and Yarichin Bitch Club because I haven't read it in like 10 years. Well, tomorrow because it's not august just yet.

I will be finishing a fic I've been putting off for months & finishing Dick Fight Island.

>>7119
Ike Reibun is a national treasure

I've read a good chunk of my BL collection today to celebrate, I have a bad habit of letting manga and books accumulate on my to-read list, I always buy something without clearing it first, so today was a good day to catch up. I didn't finish my pile but I read 6 mangas, my favourite was either "Boys of the Death" by Tomita Douji or "Shikabane to Hanayome" by Akagawa Sagan, both are horror so I guess I was just in a spooky mood haha, definitely recommend both of them if you like messed up relationships!
If anyone is curious for the others I've read, it was "Online Game Nakama to Sashi Off shitara Shokuba no Onijoushi ga Kita" volume 3 by Nmura, "The World's End" also by Akagawa Sagan, "Smell" by Nagabe and "Somnia" by Sui Kuraka. I enjoyed all of them, so it was a good chill day, thank God Yaoi Day was on a Saturday this year.

>>7115
>Yarichin Bitch Club
Who is the best boy?

>>7125
I still haven't started it today, so I'll give you my opinion tomorrow. I only have 4 volules for now so I could eventually change my mind once I get the next ones. I only had the time and energy to read Lala no Kekkon instead because I only slept for three hours and things I didn't plan kept happening, and I also only have 4 volumes so I'm waiting for the release date of the 5th volume.

Perfect timing.

I watched this movie a few days ago and honestly, it could've been an ok yaoi story if handled better and had a better art style and character designs. I'm being half serious here.

It has some stuff I like or appeal to other fujos like
>alien x human
>different social classes with one being an astronaut while the other is a regular person living an average life
>celebrity status x town loser
>age gap if you're into that with adult x teenager
>shared common interest in space exploration

They hit it off immediately from the start with Lem (the alien boy) trying to save Chuck from the military arresting and dissecting him. And he does exactly that. And I love that it's a huge favor, literal life saving, and Chuck basically owes Lem for saving his life. And this is the basis of their bond.

There are joke scenes where they dance together romantically because Chuck is teaching Lem how to get ladies and he got carried away and almost kissed him. Jokes on them I'm into this.

There's a serious scene where Lem talks about the stuff his species knows about outer space which is very limited knowledge, and Chuck corrects him then later on when Chuck gets arrested he tells Lem to pretend to have been mind controlled to help him all along so he won't be in trouble, and when Lem gets interviewed about his new job in the planetarium. At first he talks about the stuff they believe, then he says no, and recalls his conversation with Chuck and talks about all the stuff about space that Chuck told him. Then he runs away from the interview and gathers help to rescue Chuck before it's too late.

Ofcourse hilarity ensues and Chuck is naked and they see his cock and comment about how it's an interesting place for an antenna lol.

They escape using Chuck's spaceship and he shows Lem his planet from outer space and it's kinda sweet and romantic accidentally, too. But he uses this chance to tell Lem to impress the girl he had a crush on they added to make it less gay.

They say their goodbyes and Chuck promised to come back one day. I need gay fan art of them or an actual gay sequel.

Oh my god I randomly watched this shit on netflix when I was sleep deprived and I only remember the dick joke.
Gonna be real nonna I'm slightly uncomfortable that people would consider shipping from a direct to dvd ass animated film but you do you.

>>7127
Happy (belated) yaoi day! I'll treat this like a New Year's resolution! By next yaoi day, I'd like to have finished my oneshot yaoi manga. They say that putting your goals out there creates pressure in the form of obligation, so here's hoping!

>>7127
I kinda wanna watch this movie again now
>>7129
No hate, but why uncomfortable?

>>7129
It's just for the lols
>>7130
Good luck and have fun!
>>7131
Have fun. It's kinda funny and goofy and not that bad. Very lighthearted.

>>7127
I think this is the first time I've ever seen anyone mention this movie outside of the /co/ autists that fixate on female background characters

>>7133
It was a childhood classic for me and I wanted to fuck the astronaut dude

>>7131
>but why uncomfortable?
It's like looking at yaoi from norm of the north, you technically can but I have no idea why you'd want to
>It's just for the lols
Have fun girl

Anon who talked about reading Yarichin Bitch Club here. I just finished reading the 5th volume and I should be able to read the next one today as well, since I bought the books this friday. I actually realized I remembered the story beats more than I expected, so the last time I read it (a very long time ago, I can't even say when) I must have stopped somewhere in the 4th volume when nothing else was fan translated or posted online yet. Once I'm done with the 6th volume I will finally be up to date with all the translated BL manga I own. I know the 7th volume won't be officially translated anytime soon in my country, it was just released in Japan a few weeks ago.

I have more books I would like to read, so I will either try to read the BL manga I have in Japanese with a dictionary which will be time consuming because they don't have furigana, or I will read a few novels including Captive Prince which I never totally finished before. I want to take advantage of all my free time before I have more work to do in september, so I may as well make august my own personal yaoi month.

>>7125
To answer your question… I don't know. I like Kashima and Yaguchi equally. Kashima is cute but I like that he doesn't have a stick up his ass.

>>7160
>so I will either try to read the BL manga I have in Japanese with a dictionary which will be time consuming because they don't have furigana
Take a photo and upload to Google Translate. It works surprisingly well, even if the quality of the photo is crappy (see my posts here >>>/f/5746).

>august
>yaoi month
IT SHOULD BE OFFICIAL. Just like there is No Nut November.

>To answer your question… I don't know.
Let's make it all of them and call it a day.

>>7161
Blogposting, but august works for me because of my job. When everything goes as planned I barely have any work to do during july and august and that's when I use most of my PTO, and on top of that I like to make sure I work when my boss is on holidays so I can just fuck around at home. However we're not supposed to work from home aside from two very specific days and we're not supposed to be alone in the office for safety reasons. So when everything goes as planned I work from home for just one or two hours and then I read books (manga or novels), play video games on handheld or read a visual novel in front of my company's computer just in case there's an emergency and I need to reply quickly. But when it doesn't go as planned sometimes I have to go to my work place because there's a snitch in the team, or I have to see coworkers I hate who don't know how to mind their own business, which means I can't bring books without being interrupted. I definitely can't bring my Captive Prince books or the volume of Heaven's Official Blessing with me to kill time because of these people because they could just scream at me "what is it about? can I read it?" over and over again for an hour straight or snatch them from my hands and try to read that shit out loud like middle school mean girls. I will have a break for two weeks very soon, I'll make the most of it with my hobbies and not just BL.

Last year I made good use of my "free" time and read several visual novels in a row. For instance, I loved Lkyt, and I especially liked getting paid while reading it on company time.

I've found that a cheap ereader stops this. No one can see the title or cover, and you can close and lock it in a second. Also you can just download ebooks if you don't want to buy a digital and a physical copy

>>7166
I already have physical copies at home, I don't see myself buying an ereader just yet, at least not for these books.

You got paid for reading it, in a way, so now you must write a review.

>>7168
I think I posted about it at the time somewhere else, most likely in the bl vn thread but I need to check it out. Here's my ranking for the love interests: Yael = Takeru > Towa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ango Tasuku didn't deserve to suffer like this, I'm still mad at Ango and his retarded father

Okay, I will look it up!
