for the queers!

absolutely brilliant: the pining, the nuance, the yearn. 10/10. love that we have a representation of a deep-in-the-closet repressed gay who's only started exploring quite "late" in life. very true for a lot of people in the community, especially in asia.

i have no words. story is beautiful, the delivery is one of a kind. we get a queer young love plot without the illusion. ml identifies as gay and faced homophobia and discrimination. 10/10.

this is an out of body experience literally was screaming my lungs out as the plot developed. too real, i'm afraid. but the right amount of smut, romance, and comedy to tie it all together. only rating 9/10 just bc it lacks overall depth but maybe i'm nitpicking.

absolutely obsessed. i don't even this there's too much of a queer angle in this story but ugh its written way too well and it's probably one of my favorites to date.

equally obsessed with this one. i don't think this even needs an explicit queer writing. the subtext does god's work here. the sexual tension alone? f gay.

this is for the they/them queers! love love soft depictions of trans love and t4t too? hell yes. not explicitly trans but characters never go back to assigned genders at birth.

pls someone translate the last chapter im on my knees

nothing explicit queer identity themes yet but i'm just obsessed with stories with queer characters that aren't centered on their queerness. okay multidimensional!

i love queer friendships. this one is too bittersweet though, still utterly utterly beautiful

if i had a penny every time a hockey player is gay and into slowburn i'd have three pennies. if i had a penny every time a junior athlete who happens to be a prodigy is gay for his never enough senior i'd have two pennies. which is not really a lot but it's just weird this happens this much. pattern recognition is crazy
