/bl/ - General BL

I'll start:
>what are your favourite h/c scenarios?
My favourite is when a character becomes very delirious from a serious sickness/injury and has to be soothed and calmed down, and the other character has to take care of them and nurse them back to health.

>What type of characters do you love to see suffering?
I don't like hurting wholesome sunshine boys, the best victim is an egotistical asshole. It's great seeing such characters who hate to be weak being forced to be vulnerable in a state of pain. Especially when they suffer so much they break and do a personality 180 to become pitiful and they have to slowly build themselves back up again with the help of their love interest.

>What relationship dynamic do you like best?
I like it when there is a power imbalance between the hurt person and the comforter- like master/ servant, boss/subordinate,etc It can go either way- the boss has to be comforted by the subordinate and feels ashamed to be taken care of by someone 'lesser' than him, or the other way around where the subordinate is suprised and embarassed to be looked after and helped by their superior who they didn't expect to care about them. In the end,their relationship ends up changing and becoming more equal due to the incident.

>What are your favourite h/c scenarios?
Fanfic only abuser x victim ships. I'm a huge fan of manipulative men in general. Not a fan of seeing it much in canon because few series make it a point to actually have dynamics like this that aren't trying to be an after school special
>What type of characters do you love to see suffering the most?
Strong characters. Specifically characters who constantly put on a face and aren't actually bad at what they do. Like Shouto Todoroki is actually insanely good at what he does. But I do love throwing him into a blender. Pic related are from Tales of Graces and I recall just reading a ton of fanfic of them that ignores the end of the game.
>What relationship dynamic do you like best in h/c content?
Stockholm Syndrome will always, always be the best. To me anyways.

Generally the first fanfic I'll read. Huge fan of blackmail so damaging there's no way for that person to actually recover. Not so much a fan when the lack of comfort outweighs the hurt dished out all the time. At that point it's simply torture porn without end and I find that fucking boring, just as much as I find far too much fluff and cuddles for comfort with no hurt so much more boring

>What are your favourite h/c scenarios?
Rape recovery. Not so much focusing on the assault itself, but the character having their life seeminly ruined, withdrawing, and the othe party reaching out and going out of the way to help is the perfect h/c imo.

>What type of characters do you love to see
Every character suffering in their own way is great, but my favorite ones are comic relief characters who tend to be the butt of the joke. Especially since it naturally lends itself to grim dark suicidal thoughts since they'd perceive the rest of the cast to hate them, until the other half of the ship let's them know that they are valued.

>What relationship dynamic do you like best in h/c content?
Mutually beneficial h/c, I love when one character is suffering and is getting help, but then it's revealed the character who is giving the comfort is just as broken in another way so they are also healed through the interaction.

>Any h/c scenes from media which you enjoyed?
I would need to think on it, I mainly engage with h/c though fanfiction so I'm not sure if any official media has ever scratched the same itch.
