Felt like I’ve wrote too much in that topic so I’ll say it here instead but yes, it’...

oml you actually did it?? the absolute madman! (≧∀≦)

Hey, just a wild guess but are you British by any chance?

nope! (⌒▽⌒)

Ahh dang, no idea why but I always end up thinking that British people say madman.

ohh haha, "the absolute madman" is kinda a meme (≧∀≦)

You’re really widening my knowledge ngl. First was that 1 man 1 jar vid and now a meme :’). Makes me wonder but why is your name ¥401?

haha, i don't even know how i come across half of the stuff i know.

also, it's kind of a code. if you convert my username into letters, it'd say, "YAOI"
ヾ(☆▽☆)

Oh damn, can’t believe I didn’t notice that at all. Great idea though! Mine doesn’t even have a meaning expect that it’s part of my real name lmao.

thanks! i really love wordplay so i was thinking of usernames that can be an allusion to BL, since it was back when i was really crazed about it (though i'm not any different presently).

yours is beautiful though, no pun intended. (≧∀≦)
i like the symmetry, and how it looks like a historical tower.

Ahahah thanks! I like it because it reminds me of the skeleton of a fish- just the bottom part tbh. Thing is, I only moved to Japan when I was 16 and I’ve been clearly westernised so I barely remembered how to write my name but hey 美 was the first kanji I remembered. Btw, do you speak Japanese?

hard nope. unless you count the basic expressions every standard weebs know, then i unfortunately don't know how (though i did try a few times, and the result was always cringey).

i always wanted to learn on speaking and writing the language, but i never got around to it sadly (most probably because i'm lazy af) （￣へ￣）

I can relate to you on a spiritual level, honestly. I wanted to learn Japanese but whenever I try, I just end up finding a reason as to why I can’t. I was also hella confident in my Jap just bc I assumed that anime was a basic Japanese tutor- typical weeb thinking way right? Clearly, I was wrong because I couldn’t even converse with my relatives without adding english words lol.

haha, well at least you're now living in the country itself. at least the environment would help you in learning the language more naturally. you've got the time and place so you'd inadvertently learn it one way or the other.

also, i can't help but ask if you've encountered any juicy bl situations, or met any fujos and fudans? (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

True, I ended up improving quite a lot but I’m still slow in the reading. I’m not even confident enough to translate mangas lmao. And nah, sadly haven’t encountered any of that in Japan but surprisingly though, I encountered a lot when I lived in Uk. I met a fujoshi when I accidentally revealed the fact that I read yaoi lmfao and turns out she reads them too. My life is pretty boring tbh, other than the fact that I see eye-candies everywhere I go.

aha, same. though i have a few fujo friends, i haven't met any hardcore fudan irl.
here's to hoping for more eye-candies in love to be more upfront in public (≧∀≦)

Yess. Ironic how a talk about a very strange video turns into a convo of unrelated things lol. So where are you actually from, if you don’t mind me asking. Oh and funny thing about the fujo that I met was that she was actually very religious so I thought it would’ve creeped her out. She ended up being one of favs to chat with about yaoi lol.

lol ikr. but idk if i'd call it as just "very strange".. more like traumatizing. (￣∇￣")
i'm from PH, though i never usually disclose it unless asked because it lessens the air of anonymity or some such. (⌒▽⌒)

oho, i guess you can never expect that the most unexpected people might share the best common interests with you. makes me wonder if the 'straightest' men around me might actually be into BL. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
also, the way my fujo best friend found out that i was a fudan was because she accidentally read the notes in my phone where i stated that i was a hardcore fudan. ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

Oooh, I literally have a japanese flag next to my name so I guess I’m quite open about my nationality. I have never come across a straight male that’s interested in yaoi, they get grossed out by it on the contrary. The thing about me is that whenever I read yaoi is that I get bored of it easily. Currently I’m reading a lot of yaoi just to fill my new list up but that’s all there is to it. It’s been on my mind but can a Japanese person be counted as a weaboo?

i have met at least 3 straight males who are fudans, though not all irl. i met two of them in a Line groupchat, and one of them irl (though he only said that he prefers yaoi than yuri so i can't really say he's a fudan, or if he does read bl).

and yeah, i definitely can relate. i started off with typical genres of manga back then, even shoujo. but then i slowly got consumed by bl, and i got more and more uninterested in straight romance. recently though, i do grow a bit bored after reading a lot of bl so i switched it up by reading anything that interests me (even going back to some shoujo stories though mostly isekai and fantasy type), and trying out new genres like yuri.

oh man, don't even bring up lists, i get dizzy just making and organizing them. it was a lil easier on my part bc i only chose mostly non-bl ones (save for 2 particular lists), but as a lazy person, it was still quite a hassle. (￣∇￣")

also, since a weaboo refers to westerners, i don't think it can be applied. i think the more apt term is just old taco— oh sorry, i meant otaku. (≧∀≦)

That’s actually quite interesting. Ive never met any fudanshis but I have seen some accounts here claiming that they’re fudanshis. There was this one kiddo that claimed to be a fudanshi but when I saw her ig, she was a 12 yo girl so I really don’t have much trust in the claims of being fundanshis anymore lmao. Bro, lists are tiring asf! I have a list called forbidden garden and long story short, I gave up on it. I gave a lot of effort for my reincarnation lists tho- which took me days to actually create lmao. It’s sort of useful because I tend to forget the stories after some time passes. I also used to try to avoid yuri because it’s just not my type of thing but nowadays I’ve been stumbling upon interesting ones. I try to avoid reading the explicit scenes though- I think I’m just not really comfortable in imaging girls making out which is ironic bc I read yaoi lmao.
