Personally some of my favourite yaois have femme ukes. I'm not really into semes but, I have a few I like but I mainly lean towards liking ukes more. I like really pretty ukes/femme ukes. For semes, I also like pretty semes. I don't really like big muscles for semes or ukes, but having toned/sleeper build is fine. I don't know I've never been into the manly ukes, but I won't not read them. Pretty is preferred for both seme and uke and also for personality it's a bit of mix of everything, like I'm not extremely picky. I think if I'm reading something cute then obviously maybe a seme that has respect and manners, and of course tolerable. For ukes it's about the same. I also don't mind toxic semes or ukes.
im not too picky when it comes to ukes but i LOVE blonde semes idk why i just do. like when they’re angelic looking with blonde eyelashes as well. blonde semes r my ultimate fav. i also like when semes go from being nonchalant to obsessed with the uke.
for both the seme and the uke i do NOT like buzz cuts, being muscular is fine but not my preference.
FAT ASS SO MY TYPE
not like obese way juicy ass i mean
I haven't seen a lot of yaoi with seme or ukes having buzz cuts but unfortunately if they do I have to drop it. It's a hairstyle I generally can't stand fiction and in real life. I don't care how good a bl is, I see an ugly hair cut I'm gonna have to ditch i tried giving this one manhwa a chance, I forgot the name but I think it was the seme who had blonde hair and that stupid fucking hair cut. I really tried and I just couldn't.
I respect that actually
this is real
So I'm an adult and I work 3 days a week though from home, and spend most of time looking after my special needs daughter while mum works 5 days a week, but she works in a childcare. I'd say we're pretty good with money, but obviously we prefer to use most of it for daughters therapy's and other related appointments. I have the money to buy stories like on lezhin, renta, tappytoon etc. I do sometimes, but I also obviously use mangago and comix to read for free. I'm definitely in for supporting artist, but I can only willingly pay for something I enjoy and I also know these sites won't stay up forever (tapas being an example) and I can't just keep wasting money on said sites if I can't keep the product forever. Same with online games, I choose not to spend too much (like on hsr I'll get the express pass or monthly pass at best. Same with nikke but the 8 dollar pack). If I enjoy a story, I'll definitely go and support the author on the actual paid sites. But I haven't been doing that recently and I don't know how to feel about it. I don't exactly feel bad, but with tapas shutting down I don't really wanna be spending money knowing these other sites can randomly shut down.
You’re not the only one, especially with the idea of buying something on a website that isn’t going to stick around. I’m all in favour of supporting the artists, but not through third party hosting sites or scummy publishers.
A lot of artists, especially the mostly online ones, will have a Patreon, Ko-fi or other donation site if you look for it. These sites still take a percentage, but it’s often far less than publishing sites, and way more direct, so you could choose to donate the money for a work and then pirate it if you really felt like supporting them, lol
“If buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing” has never rung more true in this era.
yea youre not the only one, tbf we’ve all been knowing how companies treat artists as well as how big of a commission gap they take.
support artist through their own web where they get most of the earnings like prints/merch, kofis and whatnot, and if you cant support them financially you can just support them as is, without a genuine audience that supports their work is meaningless (i mean in a way of motivation as such)
plus in todays age everything is too expensive to maintain especially if its a subscription based or a time limit expense, ever since the shift from one-time purchase to continuous expense piracy has increased exponentially #－.－)
To be honest I think if people wanna support the authors, best way to go would be ko-fi or pateron. My girlfriend doesn't read webtoons or stuff like I do but shes subscribed to paterons and I know a lot of artist use that platform. If one site is gonna shut down, it's best not to trust the others JUST in case. I still don't have anymore news about the tapas situation, I'm confused on how they're gonna be able to compensate the artist who upload their stories there. It must be so frustrating, it's not fair on anyone involved.
I think I might just stop spending as it is, unless I can find betters way to actually make sure it's gets to the artist like as you said. I could also save a bit more money now lol, I'm not poor but I'm not the rich either. A lot of my money goes to my daughter. Though it's actually annoying that a lot of these sites are starting to get a little more greedy, I get it, but it's still a little annoying. It's whatever though.
