By definition I basically raised my siblings but I love them a lot and get along with them both. We're not close in age. 7 years and 12 years apart. Both of my parents work the whole day but I've accepted that even if I can't get along with my parents like friends, they're people I can depend on financially and for life advice. I My parents and I a...... reply
I read BL for about 7 years now, maybe longer, but it's been an integral part of my life that it's honestly carried me through the toughest times.
I stopped telling people about my interests, about my soul a couple years ago. When people ask sbout what I read, where I get my philosophy from, what I do in my free time, I never tell them it's this. I...... reply
English for Secondary Education, I'm a freshman.
I've always planned out a couple of years ahead of me so it's not surprising I have a solid goal. I'm not a stem major so it's not as taxing as everyone else, but I'd definitely say it takes a lot of passion and grit. Don't go into college and get yourself into sudent loan debt just because you want...... reply
I'm from the U.S but I really wanna buy things from taobao that I can't find anywhere in the u.s. I have siblings who I wanna buy clothes for (because american kid sizes are too big and unfashionable asf) and I'm getting mixed signals from reddit users. Some say I need to verify my account or something and others say to just go for it? Can anyone help out? I'd appreciate it
Nothing worse than a red flag dressed up as a green flag. Like authors intentionally add in some detail to make the protagonist seem better when it's indeed a massive red flag. For example, Tyrant's Disabled Pet Fish. Righteous protagonist right? Sentenced a guy who's trying to survive a lifetime in jail and abuse for accusing him of being a fish (which is true) and a chapter later, establishes a modern feminist federation... I loved the lightness of the novel until the end. Terrible. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
And I don't mean or love interests being added in last minute and have 0 contributions to the story (because those are common sense), I mean something uncommon, slightly unhinged, or even curious.
For me, it's when someone claims another person and says "You're mine." Now I'm a romantic person and I totally get the sentiment, but I think booktok or some various forms of toxic literature has taught me the consequences of ownership and obsessive hypermasculinity in both straight and queer works. Like I'm reading a fluffy BL where it checks all the boxes of a good romance and then at the end, they confess and they're like "Finally, you're mine." No form of "You're mine/I'm yours" will do me any good. It's just nonsensical to me and it's just outright strange for me to consider it the slightest bit romantic. Logically I get the sentiment. Having someone as your partner and claiming loyalty or attatchment to them is perfectly healthy and normal. But the phrase "You're mine/I'm yours" just doesn't hit right. It sounds more possessive and materialistic than romantic.
HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER. No shame on you couples who say this. It's only my personal opinion because of the culture surrounding the phrase. Usually they don't end well, is what I've figured out from it, but if it works for you, I have no issues with that. It's just, manhwa that use this phrase usually just fall down a certain rabbit hole.
