/wes/ - Western & Alternative Style

>>83
OP here, rising from the dead.
Personally, I hate it. It was cute at first but everything about it annoys me now. The author is a classic SJW tumblrina and that ruins her work for me!

Penny Arcade isn’t a bl but I was so happy seeing all the gay fan art that came with the poker night remaster kek.

Glad to see someone else appreciate this! Avialae was my first western BL webcomic and it's still so good everytime. Great art! It really helped solidify to me that I like media where the protagonists feel isolated. The couple is cute too [spoiler] and they're vers [/spoiler].

This webtoon was one of my faves as well! I felt so sad when the author decided to stop it, it's very funny to me bc her motivation was literally "the anatomy and plots of yaois suck so I need to do it better". Last I checked she was writing an original story that was inspired by the death of her friend and the MC is a heartthrob (for women) who looks so much like Jotaro KEK. I wish she would at least reveal the plot but I think she kinda doesn't want to acknowledge this comic at all anymore lol.

Hooky is not a BL but the author was into gay shipping (you can find some of her old tweets about Free!! in Spanish on her twitter) and I adore her gay side couple! I also liked the plot of the story but I am biased as I grew up with this lol.

I also really liked 2 Slices! Slow, slow, slow burn and weirdly woke at times but you can just ignore it tbh.

This is not fiction is on-going but I quite like it! The art styles nice and yes it's also a slow burn but I quite like it and the humor.

If anyone has any recommendations that were not mentioned in this thread already (I've read a lot of them lol) I'd love to hear it! I used to have a whole list of BL webtoons I used to read before the discord server I used as a notes app got deleted. Sad!

The OG killers were not just 'gay' they were lolcows of entertaining proportions.

Also, Hitchcock found the homo to be so important in the film, that he specifically cast gay actors and told them 'You're playing boyfriends', because they couldn't say it out loud due to Yank censorship.

I watched if… (1968) today for historical context around the very early Japanese BL scene and as example of homosexuality in an old influential movie. I didn't watch it with fujo glasses though. It was long and weird. Malcolm McDonald's annoying character is very similar to his future iconic role as Alexander DeLarge. The movie still kept me entertained. Maybe I will watch it again with the commentary track one day but kind of meh to me. My favorite characters were the Whips / the prefects who caned the main group.

You can watch the whole movie on Youtube, here's a pretty well-known scene. Homosexual actions were illegal in the UK until the Sexual Offences Act 1967, one year before the movie came out.

I remember thinking Saw would be an interesting setting for a BL story but the movies don't do much for me personally.

Recently saw Scream for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised by how funny it was. I also was thankful I didn't have the twist of there being 2 murderers ruined. Time to read every Billy/Stu fanfic

>>1568
So I finished the trilogy. I generally like it but there's a moment where I got annoyed at how retarded one of the protags was being even though I acknowledge it's a character trait that has been established before. Pacat comes off as a more oldschool western fujo who takes direct inspiration from ~problematic BL~ as opposed to your average western modern day 'queer lit' writer.

>>1568
It's because of Kurahana's cover art for the Japanese translation of the books, isn't it? Because in that case it's the same for me except I read the first volume just one or two weeks because the first trailer of FE3H dropped. Too big to be a coincidence.

>>1652
i mean, captive prince was available for free on livejournal 10+ years ago. she is definitely an old school fujo.

It seems that the Homestuck website has finally uploaded all the pages and the entirety of the epilogues, so the comic is actually accessible now. You probably won’t have to use mirror sites or download the Unofficial Homestuck Collection any longer.

i love dirk and dirkbowl

That SNL 'Heated Wizardry' skit pissed me off so bad, it's not only just the completely wrong ships but also simply unfunny

I hate how normalfags have gotten a hold on BL

TOMARRY SPOTTED!!!!!

How are you nonnies liking season 3 so far?

Nonnies I love him

Morby was my first western fujoship. These two had way too much chemistry, and the whole thing with Rigby being disgustingly codependent on Mordecai, and Mordecai using Rigby as a way to feel superior in his own mediocrity is too juicy to ignore.

>>1268
Agreed on all fronts. I hope to one day write Crying Viktor without completely butchering his character… It is very appealing.
>fandom portrayals of him as this cold unfeeling daddy dom guy
Does this really happen? Jesus. I guess I could see it for what little I know of his original League lore, but Arcane? Nah. That's up there with fandom Viktor being some hyper experienced mega slut. I just don't see it.

Jayce's thighs are a miracle of the universe.

It's been a year and I still can't stop thinking about these homos. I've never felt such love for a ship yet such hatred for its fandom. But I'm still out here, making my own food, sitting at my table… for one. Say a prayer for me.

>>1445
You're strong nonna, I got filtered by the fandom a couple months in though I still have warm feelings towards Jayvik. I hope we get a crumb of them in future series even if it's just a mention. Keep going!

I had the ps2 since I was little, when it broke I bought it again and simply played it again, I am lucky I had the games because my dad was into videogames too, you can always go the pirate route and download them and mod the ps2 to play them.

>PLEASE tell me you got back at it again.
Just started back tonight. Going to try not to click through stuff too fast to avoid a repeat of my last incident kek. Please post about it when you finally get a chance to play! I actually like a lot of the characters so far, and I think I've gotten more efficient as far as managing them goes (I started out blind).
>Did you like the remake?
Haven't had a chance to buy the remake yet, and I'm in no hurry due to alterations in the OST. I feel kind of uneasy about it, to be perfectly honest. OFF is one of my most favorite games ever, and I'm so afraid of the remake doing something to ruin it, as silly as it sounds.

Makes me sad that there's only fanart of Henry and James hanging out platonically, either that or the shipping art is all just buried online and i still haven't found it, guess i'll have to make my own.

How was there never a Gorillaz/Dethklok collab? I don't even think I've seen a fanmade crossover, be it art or fic. It seems like the most obvious thing in the world. Imagine what it would sound like. Imagine the character interactions.

>Your favourite song?
Too many to name but Tomorrow Comes Today still has a very special place in my heart for the vibes, the aesthetic, and most of all the ~*memories*~

>>1184
I couldn't see a Dethklok crossover working simply because their styles of music don't mesh and they both use satire in a completely different way when it comes to looking at the world. That being said I would kill for a Brendon Small feature on a Gorillaz song.

New album coming on March 20th nonnies!
