maybe its cuz I'm still young and my brain is still cooking r whateva but I feel like I feel too much
like I can't even take history in person even tho its my goat cus learning abt sad events genuinely makes me cry, ill lidally be sitting in the back of the room crying over ppl who died from the fucking bubonic plague
or like ill be watching some bs show and a character death will have me actually grieving, like freaking heart pain from the sadness
is this normal guys
am I freaked out

I used to call every mid to mid trash BL “revolutionary” and slap a 5/5 on it. Looking back now? Solid 2s, most of them. That’s exactly why I don’t trust anyone who calls a yaoi “peak”, half these people will call anything peak.

Sad ending ≠ peak. Angst ≠ amazing writing. And “psychological” doesn’t mean peak either, half the time it just means there’s a bunch of rape in it and people mistake trauma dumping for depth.

So, genuine question: what’s a BL you rated 5 stars back in the day that you’d rate way lower now? And what actually changed, the story, or just you?
(It doesn’t necessarily have to be a BL I just used it as an example.)
