/bl/ - General BL

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
As long as the characters are in character it doesn't matter much to me.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
In original BL usually the uke since they tend to fulfill arctypes I like more. Cute, easily flustered, ect.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I really just want there to be a canon basis, in original works though there are clear things I enjoy like pining seme.

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Turtle for sure.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Fixed only.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Uke. Very rare for me to get attached to a seme, and if it does happen my mind will slowly morph them into an uke if it's not a character from a BL.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
It just has to make sense in the characters and stories' context. I've gone into stories where in the beginning I'm like why is he the uke? But as I read on I caught on as to why.

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Snake.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
I used to be okay with riba and actively sought it out, but as I’ve gotten older, I developed a preference for fixed positions.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Seme
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I enjoy both
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Gecko, or Turtle fujo?
Gecko

For OP pic, I’m a narusasu truther.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
It has to make sense with the pairing. I'm okay with different scenarios regarding ambiguous couples where one is the uke and one is the seme, but I prefer if it was fixed within the one scenario if that makes sense.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Uusually uke unless the seme is cute too. I love slutty ukes.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I enjoy ambiguous pairings where both the seme and uke are cute. But I like obvious pairings where there's a short tsundere uke
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
50% turtle, 50% snake

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Depends on the ship. Some are definitely reversible, some I prefer fixed.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Uke all the way. I read yaoi to see my fav drilled. If I wanted to see a man top, I'd read het porn.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I prefer it when it's more ambigious, but it all depends on the characters.

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Snake generally.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
For original BL I'll only read fixed. For shipping fixed 99% of the time but I have 1-2 ships where I'm fine with reversible, still usually have a preference though.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Uke.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I've enjoyed both scenarios so I dunno really. Maybe leaning ambiguous nowadays because pairings where it's obvious tend to have FSOG dom seme/cinnamon roll uke dynamics which I don't like that much.

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Slug.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Riba, all the way. For all pairings, I'll usually switch up tags.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
I'll usually focus on the uke but I tend to dislike emotionless super seme. I like tit for tat relationships where who is in control changes, even if their positions don't.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Ambiguous, but I like to imagine what situations would switch roles up regardless.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Turtle Snail, the slowest combo.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Fixed. There are occasions where I can go "sure either way is w/e" but I've come to realize that's largely when I have low interest in the pair, because I never look up content when I think like that. If I start to like something I figure out which way about I like it p quick and stick with it. There are cases where I have multiple ships, though, so I'll be pairing up A/B but also cool with C/A. I think I'm more strict about not seeing certain characters top compared to seeing a certain character bottom.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Uke.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Depends. More often than not it comes down to design and how their personalities are done.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
If I recall the chart correctly I'm a Snake/Snail mix with occasional Gecko tendencies.

I've been a Sasunaru babby since I can remember, for OP.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
I actually really love couples that take turns, it makes me more immersed in their relationship as both of them fully experience each other
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Seme usually, I really enjoy some ukes though (usually the ukes that look like semes lmao)
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Ambiguous is great, I love parings where it could genuinely go either way depending on how the mood is
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Geeko

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
A mix. Weeb stuff tends to be fixed whereas western is more loose. In a lot of eastern media when the more popular fixed ship (AB) has a reverse tag (BA) it often feels like two completely different characters, almost like we read different stories. The semes tend to get interpreted as tsundere bottoms and I haaaaaaate tsundere bottoms.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
I like them about equally. When there is too big of a disparity I can't ship them. There was this one dude I liked but hated his top 3 ships (like 99% of all fanfic with him) so I ejected myself from the fandom earlier than normal.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Ambiguous, but sometimes I get butthurt when the fixed pair I prefer is the unpopular one in fandom lol. In original BL this doesn't matter.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Frogail with latent slug tendencies.

For SNS I think I lean Sasunaru, despite not knowing much about what actually happens in Naruto. In general I prefer the seme to be the unhappier one who is also in mental anguish over the uke and I think that's Sasuke right?

>>3794
>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Always both. I need to see my favorite moan like a bitch but I also want him (or rather both) to be sexy and dominant sometimes. The pairings I like allow this since there is no real power gap that would make it out of character I think. Basically this >>3803
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
In works with pre-defined roles? Usually the seme. Uke if he's gap moe and looking like a seme, not a fan of usual moe (don't like weakness and insecurity nor the other stuff most people associate with cuteness).
If it's about my ships then I prefer the one I imagine as uke more often lol, so uke I guess. I guess my urge to see him moan is just stronger or more common than the urge to imagine him dicking someone else. 2/3 for me. My fav is bottoming in 2/3 of the cases and dominating in 1/3 of them.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Ambiguous. I don't like classic uke/seme, nor do I like 99% of the het pairings because of that.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
I had to google this. Turtle, if I found the correct explanation.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Depends. I don't have a strong preference towards one or the other usually, but I am picky about characterization and a lot of the time people will write A/B very differently from B/A.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
I like everyone! But my favorites are usually semes.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I'm fine with both, but I enjoy somewhat atypical dynamics (i.e. I am a dominant bottom enthusiast) so I tend to gravitate towards more ambiguous pairings where it feels like there's more room for people to get creative.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Turtle with gecko tendencies. I consume all sorts of trash, then whine about it being trash while my face is still in the garbage bin.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Fixed only, but I'm a multishipper so a character might top or bottom depending on who he's paired with, but the positions in any given pairing are always fixed, if that makes sense.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
It fluctuates since the characters can switch from top to bottom depending on who they're paired with, so both I guess? But I do think my oshi is a lot cuter when he's the uke :]
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I'm old fashioned so obviously defined.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
snake-slug-snail-gecko hybrid? It's too complicated kek this might be the reason I have a hard time fitting in in fandom spaces. No one gets my highly specific brand of autism.
Also for sasunarusasu, it's so damn hard to decide!! Sasuke is such a fucking bottom but at the same time, it's so cute when Naruto bottoms so I really can't choose. It's a matter of deciding who I'd rather see get railed the most, and when both characters have uke vibes sacrifices must be made. I guess I can bestow the honour of being a seme to Sasuke just this once though, since Naruto getting fucked by his favourite person in the whole world is too good to pass up.

So true. The idea of Naruto being fucked is gold, but I love good NaruSasu too. I wish they could both be ukes somehow

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
I'm 99% of the time a fixed ship enjoyer. Sometimes I like reverse but it's usually characters that are very balanced out like similar height, status, personality etc.
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Both are important to me, but I'm personally way more emotionally invested in the uke because I get easily protective over them, like a little brother kek. I'm also aesthetically way more into pretty twinks than muscular characters.
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I guess I like ships where the roles are obviously defined? I can't really come up with examples of more ambiguous roles unless this is referring to things like powerbottoms and service tops. Which I'm also into.
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
I vary a lot between franchises but most of the time I'm a slug with snail tendencies.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
I like riba, but i can sometimes be rigid about fixed positions. Some ships call for no riba
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
I like both at once, but i favor the uke
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Ambiguous
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Turtle with snail and snake tendencies

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?

I gravitate towards riba couples in general but there’s a lot of ships that I only want to see in fixed positions

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?

I usually get more attached to the uke due to the moe factor but cute semes are my weakness

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?

I would say that I generally prefer ambiguous pairings but I’m OK with traditional looking ones too

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?

I’m very much an archetypal frog Fujo who will occasionally be snake-like if I feel like a couple can’t accommodate riba due to their specific dynamics/appeal (BDSM, etc.)

>>3794
>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
It really depends. If I like both characters a lot and have certain ways I'd imagine them being, I can open myself up to switch (but only if I make it). Otherwise, if I'm going to be seeing it, I'd rather be it fixed.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
The uke, but that's because I make my favorite character into the uke most of the time. Even more so because I'm the 'old man uke' type, or just small top/big bottom.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
I detest ships that feel so blatantly semeuke coded. The big, angsty, powerful seme that will subdue the small, somewhat effeminate, short and innocent-ish uke. I loathe them with a passion. It might be the basis of yaoi 101 but I just hate it. I'll always find ways to make even the most masculine man be mobbed no matter what.


>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Snailfrog. Almost snake-like in some occasions but I tend to be more fixed than otherwise.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Fixed positions for sure, there's a yin and yang to it that riba throws all out of wack
>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
I generally find ukes to be more compelling, and they're often the main character so they get more fleshed out than semes do
>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
As a couple other anons said, "obviously defined" roles can lead to boring/unappealing dynamics between a stoic seme and meek uke
Leaving it ambiguous lets them be characters first and roles second
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Sssssss I'm a slithery little snaky snake
>I want this thread to be about discussing which character should be seme or uke in certain pairings
I'm part of the NaruSasu brigade, but I can see why people prefer SasuNaru, it's a really well-balanced ship
Victuuri is one I remember people shipped both ways, but I was always plain and liked seme Victor/uke Yuuri

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Absolutely not, Im very very strict with fixed positions. Though my schizo fixed tendencies are only contained within my circle, I can maintain tolerance around riba/landmine fujos and can generally see eye to eye with their preferences even if i think its shit taste as I always put a fujo first, everything else second.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Fave character is usually the uke but I sometimes have fave character seme.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
It depends; if its regarding appearances, I love juxtapositions where the stereotypically masculine and "seme-like" character is the uke and the smaller "uke-like" character is the seme. I dont really stick to defined tropes like "blonde uke" or "stoic seme" since I usually find an exception character that could check all the lists of what I like in a seme but I perceive him as a uke.

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Gecko, or Turtle fujo?
Snail and Snake fujo, I rarely ship nowadays and prefer to put men through the wringer with mob characters, but I take my otps seriously and I fixate on them for life.
im very scared of frog and turtle shippers and immediately block them on the spot as self defense lol….

My problem with fixed positions is that only like pairings where both characters are on the same level so it's hard to choose who the uke and who the seme are. They have different strengths and weaknesses but if you attribute points to the strengths and add them all up both of them would roughly reach the same sum.

Because of this you could always list just as many reasons for why character A is topping as for why B might be the one. This is why I am always fine with switching. I would get fixed positions if it was a classic uke/seme ship, but if one of the characters is an older master of swords with normal body strength but top tier techniques for example and the other character is younger but a strong beefy dude that doesn't rely on sword techniques but can punch and is juvenile but smart who would be the top?

You could say the older one is wiser and he has experience, so he tops. But you might also say that the younger one is physically stronger and more motivated, so he is the one that tops. Or you like old, grumpy dudes cheering up thanks to being with a more juvenile character. Or the other way around, a juvenile character being reined in by the older dude that puts him into his place.

Usually such interpretations can co-exist without changing the interpretation of the characters. I usually start with a position until I think about it deeper or see others' interpretations and think "wow yeah, that would work as well".

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
Similar to other anons if it's well written and in character I can enjoy whatever, especially since a lot of ships I like are less popular and beggars can't be choosers. I definitely have my preferences though. For some ships, I get unreasonably pissed if the characters are written in the wrong positions and can't get off, its like blasphemy to me.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
Uke for sure, but most of time I end up loving both characters. But for the uke I will read work with other characters while I won't read seme with others.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?
Hmmm…. I often fond of ships where who I think the uke and seme is goes against common opinion (I like physically tough ukes and I am naturally a contrarian) so I guess ambiguous even if it's clearly defined in my head. Either way I think ambiguous is much more fun and I find stereotypical uke and seme tropes boring.
 
>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?
Snake mainly. (Can be snail if no good parings in work or slug/frog for my OTP.)

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?
I recently realized i'm strictly fixed with ships i'm most obsessed with, and i don't mind reverse with ships i'm more casual towards.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?
I obsess over the uke and I hate seeing my fav semes bottoming.

>Are you okay with riba or only fixed positions?

Riba/reversed is okay if I'm just casually into the pairing and browsing fanart just for the aesthetics, but I become more fixed the more attached to the pairing/characters I get. All my OTPs are fixed.

>Do you usually like the uke more or the seme?

Usually uke. I have some pairings where I like the seme more which is usually annoying because people love to multiship the uke but I ONLY want to see him with my fave.

>Do you like ships where the roles are obviously defined? Or pairings where they are more ambiguous?

I like a lot of pairings with major size difference and I consistently want the smaller one to bottom. So, very much defined in the visual sense, but not necessarily personality-wise. I like a lot of gap moe tough guy bottoms.

>Are you a Snake, Slug, Frog, Snail, Geeko, or Turtle fujo?

My heart is slug, but snake in practice (can look at sou-uke/mob content with my favourite bottom but the OTP is endgame)
