What your K-pop fandom says about you!

BTS - You’re either under the age of 18 or this is the first ever group you got into.

TXT - You only got into them because BTS mentioned them.

BLACKPINK - You’re either under the age of 21 or you definitely ship Lizkook as a joke.

TWICE - You’re either male or a lesbian/bisexual woman that makes jokes about Dahyun literally hooking up with the other members.

Monsta X - This group either helped you to come out or you’re just whipped for Wonho like the rest of us.

Seventeen - You’re sick and tired of telling new fans why there are thirteen members instead of seventeen.

SHINee - You’re either over the age of 25, a parent, or thinking about having children in the future when the time is right. Or you’re probably a minor who is whipped for Taemin!

Stray Kids - You’re under 25, single and happy with your life. Also, you (will) have a mind of a teenager in your 20s and may possibly follow through in your 30s.

NCT - You have more than one bias. Ain’t no way you have only one with this many people in one group-

The Boyz - You often wonder what could be their chatroom name could be called due to their group name.

Loona - I’m not going to be mean with this one — You’re probably a kind hearted person who loves dresses and skirts because they’re cute and that’s it. Probably even shop for yourself or someone you love and is VERY good at designing outfits.

Red Velvet - J-just say it… they’re hot, isn’t it? Also you girls probably only like them because of that meme of Taemin getting beaten up by Seulgi and Wendy.

Girls’ Generation/SNSD - You’re DEFINITELY a guy that faps off to them or a girl that loves their concepts and probably feels nostalgic even hearing about them.

Super Junior/SUJU - You have daddy issues.

EXO - You’re probably between the ages of 16-30 and you also have daddy issues. Also if your biases are Kai, Baekhyun, Suho, Lay, or Chen, you’re DEFINITELY an adult. If you guys were old enough, you had also DEFINITELY had simped for Lu Han and had played Lu with the speakers on loud because you was an idiot who thought your parents weren’t home. Also yes, I have friends.

BIGBANG - Listening to them is just nostalgic to you just- ALL THE SONGS ARE SO- UGHHHHHH THERE’S NO WAY YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ANY OF THEIR SONGS IF YOU HAD BEEN A FAN AROUND 2010-2014

DAY6 - IF THIS IS YOUR GROUP, THEN YOU’RE PROBABLY BRAGGING THAT WE STARTED THE KOREAN ROCK BAND TREND FIRST NOT XDINARY HEROES OR TXT (also we’re better — kidding I love the others too)

2NE1 - Nah, you know this is one of the best and most nostalgic group on the list I don’t care if people hate it I love it and that’s all matters-

Aespa - You probably stanned this group because either because they give the same vibe as BLACKPINK or because you just like their songs.

Shinhwa - You’re probably wondering “when will they disband” in the most non toxic and disrespectful manner possible. Also you’re probably like over the age of 25 if you stanned them for more than a decade.

P1Harmony - You probably stanned them just for Keeho, or something related to him. I mean, who doesn’t love this guy?

TVXQ/DBSK - DAMN- YOU LIKE THIS GROUP? Well you must definitely living your best life and I do hope that both sides of your pillow is cold. Share your pride with your fandom please — I’m so proud of you honey. Especially if you’re under the age of 18, ily.

ITZY - You’re definitely under 18, and probably a girl group fan. You have a bestie that is a Loona stan and probably wants to have a pink aesthetic for your room.

Dreamcatcher - Definitely a real feminist and cares for other male survivors as well as the female ones. Also seggsy af-

SuperM - Your bias is definitely Taemin and your bias wreckers HAS to be either Baekhyun, Kai or Ten. Also you have daddy issues.

TREASURE - You dumbasses are probably going to ask me “aM i A mEmBeR oF tReAsUrE” just because one of the members has the same name and (coincidentally) is Japanese.

IKON - You’re sick and tired of 8 year old boys dancing and singing “Love Scenario” and saying that it comes from Fortnite and not from the K-pop group itself.

Block B - You’re sick and tired of people making fun of your fandom name… J-just stop it… that’s not it…

Mamamoo - Where did y’all go? They were only known for that one song and that’s it. They seemed like a cool group to get into, probably still making nice music. I’d have to listen to them eventually.

OH MY GIRL - Bet you loved the dolphin cult era, right? The only time people can remember that your fandom exists. Anywho, you probably spam in every comment section that annoying ass “DA 🐬 DA 🐬 DA 🐬” song on Tiktok, YouTube, Instagram- EVERYWHERE-

Let me know if I missed anyone out!

Am bored so heres my headcanon on what kpop artists Yakuza characters would listen to.

Disclaimer: I'm not that familiar with anything recent in the kpop. The most recent you would see here is around mid-2010s.

Kiryu

Of course his no. 1 idol is Haruka. But for kpop it would have to be Girls Generation.

Its all because while playing Y5 where hes a taxi driver and takes place in 2012. I concluded that he has to have listened to Mr Taxi and was like "thats me :)" and i guess from then on he considered himself a SONE (or just a fan idk if he would know about fandom names lol)

Majima

A girl group/solo artists stan.

Definitely a huge inspiration for Goromi and her performances lol

And his collection of albums played for all the Majima Construction crew while they work.

I made a Goromi playlist (priv atm) which I just put in a bunch of female kpop artists in.

This includes artists like Kara, 9Muses, EXID, Miss A, Sunmi, Hyuna, AOA, Sistar, T-ara, Brown Eyed Girls, Lee Hyori, After School...and yeah alot of artists i put in lol

Akiyama

This was all based on a meme I saw on twitter where Akiyama is a Blackjack on stan twitter lol

So I can see Akiyama being a fan of 2NE1. Started listening to them when he saw it was popular with the hostesses and staff of club Elise and they shared it with him.

Tanimura

He would listen to a general amount of artists but would have a lot of interest in artists that have an international appeal...Wonder Girls "nobody" anyone?

(...OK that is the thing with kpop lol especially since it has a presence in Japan for awhile)

I mean like a multicultural image or just have non-Korean members. I can see Tanimura immediately taking interest in those types.

And of course anything that's popular with the Little Asia community lol

Artists: Miss A, Super Junior-M, f(x), Twice, U-Kiss, Wonder Girls, Momoland, 2NE1, Blackpink, 2PM, Big Bang

Shinada

Definitely into girl groups. Particularly ones that would have sexy dance moves which become popular and iconic later on.

And look Shinada has certain assets...

So he really likes to try out popular dances that usually involve using his tush in some way lmao.

Ex. Girls Day "Expectation" "Female President", Sistar "So Cool" "Touch my Body", AoA "Miniskirt", Kara "Mister"

Mine

This is probably very biased of me XD giving my favorite character my ultimate bias group.

Ahh yes Infinite the "Idols of Obsession" ...hmmm..

I imagine he isn't the type to follow celebrities nor have the time or interest to.

BUT BUT one day he listened to one of their songs and couldn't help but think of...a certain someone...

He doesn't considers himself a inspirit but he did walk into a music shop and bought a few albums, went home and spent his break listening to their discography while having AMVs take place in his brain.

Daigo

I'm aware of his emo taste so I tried here ^_^*

I decided to go with that Daigo listens to kpop bands. From my head it'd be CN Blue, FT island, LEDapple.

A non-band it HAS to be Dreamcatcher, another one maybe Vixx'; their dark concept songs mainly.

Haruka

I can see the idol herself listening to some idols for inspo lol

Few artists I thought of were Orange Caramel, Crayon Pop, Twice, f(x), Wonder Girls, Blackpink..

I can see her getting into some boy groups especially when it's what her friends and peers are into.

#yakuza #yakuza headcanons #kiryu kazuma #majima goro #akiyama shun #masayoshi tanimura #tatsuo shinada #mine yoshitaka #daigo dojima #haruka sawamura #i might do other characters in the future?#kpop

random haru & fuyu headcanons

hello blush blush fandom (again). this is my first time writing anything remotely fanfiction-y since like 7th grade so,,, yeah. also these are my personal headcanons and how i interpret their character so if you dont agree then pls scroll tysm 🙏 anyway onto the headcanons (buckle up)

okay so first

I think they would both be kpop fans (starting off very strong ☠️)

(obviously not the crazy ones who attack you for not liking a group)

haru is definitely more open about it though

fuyu heard some kpop but didnt really stan any groups

however,

when feel my rhythm by red velvet came out…

…

lives were changed

(including fuyu’s)

i think he would like the more classical(?? if thats how one would describe it??) concept of kpop

(ex. feel my rhythm, etc etc.)

i feel like haru would gravitate more towards boy groups

or 2nd gen girl group party music

(ex. i am the best - 2ne1, the boys - girls generation, etc.)

for boy groups i feel like he would like ateez, seventeen (me projecting), and perhaps stray kids

OKAY OKAY ENOUGH ABOUT KPOP

haru for sure had an emo phase at some point in his lifetime

play cemetery drive by mcr in front of him and he will get war flashbacks LMFAO

also aki has a line about haru possibly having a (probably human) child?? ((yt link))

erm hello????

who is bro getting freaky deaky with in fox form…

better yet WHO IS BRO RAW DOGGING IN FOX FORM??????

HELLO??

anywho.

fuyu has tried to play roblox and got scammed repeatedly in royale high and adopt me

(it was haru and aki scamming him)

“back in my day we didn’t have these little screen bricks” ahh ☠️

haru has probably tried to play roblox a few times

i know for sure aki plays roblox and is constantly trying to scam little 10 year olds

after you broke their curses and (somewhat?) restored peace between them,

aki would try to get everyone (fuyu, haru, and you) to play a roblox horror game with him

fuyu would have no idea how to play

“how do i turn around?” “how do i jump again?”

☠️☠️

(this next bit is for the theater kids)

after you broke fuyu’s curse and he talked about broadway and such

he found out (or you told him) about slime tutorials

and he was surprised how different theater was from what he knew theater as

if that makes sense??

when he heard taylor louderman as regina in mean girls the musical

ESPECIALLY IN WORLD BURN

jaw on the floor

(me too)

ANYWAYS ANYWAYS

haru unironically likes chick-flicks (ex. legally blonde, mean girls, miss congeniality, bring it on, clueless, etc)

(projecting again)

erm

yeah

i can't think of any more general hc's

lalalalalalalalalalaal

okay bye

i just realized there are like 5 actual headcanons and the rest is just me blabbering ☠️☠️

thank you for reading my rambles about these little silly billies and sorry for all the parenthesis

GAH okay bye for reals

#blush blush game #blush blush #blush blush haru #blush blush shitpost #blush blush fuyu #blush blush aki #headcanons #im crying myself to sleep tonight why is writing fanfics so embarrassing #im going insane #almost all of this is just me projecting LMFAO #i AM insane #someone kill me already #im not posting again for another like 4 months #i love them #i also love parenthesis

Hey! For the love your fandom ask game: 3, 7, & 20?

hey there!!!!!! thanks for asking (i'll send some your way too). questions are from this post!

#3: a character that fandom has helped you appreciate

the first person that comes to mind is nagisa. in the series, he's portrayed as someone very cheeky, friendly and ambitious—he's always very spontaneous and quietly observant of everything, and i love that he doesn't think too deep about certain things, e.g., haru's quiet, seemingly non-emotional character (which he chalks down to haru being someone who is always "smiling inside"—such a cute, non-judgmental way to acknowledge that just because haru isn't as expressive as the others or doesn't smile often, it doesn't necessarily mean he isn't happy or doesn't care).

mischievous as he is, he's always well-intentioned (but whether or not his motives are misunderstood is a whole other box to unpack). i think i value people like nagisa in my real life, and i love seeing how the fandom portrays him in their work.

#7: your favorite tropes to read/write/draw

i love writing and reading works that come from a place of pain. it's not that i'm sadistic; it just feels more raw, relatable, validating and hopeful reading such content because all of us as people have gone through varying degrees of tough times and it's nice to know we're not alone in our suffering. solidarity in its many forms is something i will always appreciate, especially as someone who works in social services.

reading/writing about it and learning how everything is resolved through the art of storytelling (regardless of whether it has a sad, bittersweet or happy ending) helps me to reflect on my own life and that of others. it creates some sort of self-awareness that's important for my own personal growth, and it's a healthy outlet for me to express myself.

reading about your favourite characters going through problems/challenges similar to your own can be so, so empowering. as long as you tread carefully, i don't think it's unhealthy or bad to enjoy tropes revolving around angst, hurt/comfort, and other similar tropes.

#20: your very first fandom!

my first fandom wasn't even an anime-centered one—i'm no longer active in the fandom (there were some things that felt toxic and exhausting) but i used to avidly listen to 2nd gen k-pop! i was a blackjack (woooo 2ne1), vip (big bang), elf (super junior) and shawol (shinee!!!!!!!) i haven't actively been in any fandoms other than free! since like, 2018. too busy adulting, so right now, the free! fandom is my only place of solace.

thanks for asking!!! i'll send some your way as well. :-) and thank you @museaway for creating the fandom ask game. ❤️

#free!#ask game #ask me more questions if you'd like! i love answering and reflecting

My BL journey so far

Okay kids gather round, get comfortable. This is a long one.

Disclaimer/background info: I started watching BL about a month ago-ish. I don't remember the exact date but I believe I started last month or maybe the end of the month before. So I am still a bit of a noob and trying to catch up with watching things. I am also a very chaotic person which you will probably find out by the way this is structured/written. Lastly, even though I do study/teach English for a living, it is not my first language.

Okay with that out of the way, let's dive in.

Backstory/introduction

Like any good story I feel like a bit of backstory/intro might be a good idea. Hi, on the internet I mostly go by the nickname Peach, however I created this blog when I got into BL and have adopted yet another fruit as a new nickname for this side of my personality/identity which is Lychee. I don't really mind which one you use. I'm 24 years old and I am Dutch (the Netherlands). As mentioned in the disclaimer I teach English but I am also still a student, I plan on studying more after this because I love learning new things and especially about languages and cultures. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community myself and mostly identify as Bisexual or Pansexual. I use she/her pronouns. When I was about... 13-14 ish I rolled into the K-pop fandom. I used to listen to bands like SHINee, Super Junior, EXO, BAP, Infinite, Girls Generation, 2ne1, Block B... I was a real fangirl if you ask me HAHA. In this time I also watched a Kdrama or two here and there. Favorites being: Heartstrings and Shut up flower boy band. (I was never too into Kdrama back then). I also used Tumblr back then, I have a literal 12 year old tumblr account with almost 50K posts that I used during my K-pop times. I stopped using tumblr quite a while ago too but that blog is still there. I would reblog gifs and pics and what not about my biases and ships. But as interests do sometimes, it faded into the background and I fully stopped keeping up and listening to K-pop. It has literally been 10 years now.

But then...

One random afternoon I was bored at home and wanted to watch something new. I randomly realized Kdramas existed and so my journey to find one began. I stumbled upon Semantic Error and almost by accident decided to read the little description and the tags that were with it. My eyebrows furrowed for a minute before I could feel my eyes widen: "WAIT THE TWO BOYS... IT'S... GAY???" I could almost not believe what I saw. Obviously back in my K-pop times every band had ships and pairings you fangirled over, Baekyeol or ChanBaek, 2Min, JongKey... You know what I mean...You fangirled over every random moment they were together but that was as far as that went. So you could maybe imagine my excitement when I realized that Korea has come far enough to actually make BL shows now. So without further thoughts I watched Semantic Error. And because it was the first BL I saw I fell in love with it, the story was good, the acting was good, the fluff was to die for. An all round great experience to start off with.

Little did I know...

After this experience I was obviously hungry for more. So, I turned to the internet to tell me where they had been hiding this secret stash of everything I ever wanted in Kdrama... And boy was I surprised with the results. This was the moment I found out that not only Korea but also Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and China made BL shows... And not just 1 or 2... The choices were endless. My journey continued with (either... I kinda forgor...) Don't say no and Love by Chance. This was my first experience with NC scenes too. I had no idea that Thailand already took the step to also go into a little more 18+ when it comes to BL and to be fair... I was kind of excited about it. Now that I have seen more BLs I guess you could argue that neither Don't say no and Love by Chance are the best BLs ever made but at the time I was completely hooked on them.

And so began...

An insane marathon sprint. By this time I wanted more more more and that's what I consumed. I watched some more Kbl, some Japanese BL and some more Thai BL's as well. Until I hit KinnPorsche and that's when I realized how hooked I actually was on this new comfort genre I had just discovered. KinnPorsche allowed me to put the shows I had watched for far into perspective. Most BLs have the university students falling in love drama vibe... KinnPorsche was something completely different and boy did I fall in love, and hard too. This show quite honestly changed a lot of things for me. I went from 'I'm just casually watching these shows' to 'Oh I might be a little obsessed now' and after finishing KP I realized I wanted even more and I could no longer deny that I was becoming a part of the BL fandom.

So where we are now...

In the past month I have spent every free second of my day watching shows. Binging one after the other. I was lucky to have a week off during this time too and I have managed to COMPLETE 32 BLs between then and now. 5 currently watching shows I try and keep up with and a TO WATCH list of 40+ shows. (aka: obsessed much?)

In the meantime I have made a BL twitter and a BL tumblr (this one) to find out more about the BLs I watched or am watching currently, but also to keep up with new ones coming out. I have realized that because of how badly I want to keep up with things I SUCK at remembering names. If the show did not leave a big impression on me I can also easily forget the whole storyline of some. This in addition to people talking about ship names but also IRL ship names using actors real names makes it quite hard to keep up sometimes.

The community...

I also made these accounts in the hopes to interact with the community. This part has been quite a challenge for me. I have never been the most extraverted person (both irl and online) but I am one of those people that is almost desperate to make friends (that sounds a bit sad but hear me out.) I love talking to people (< but you said you're introvert.. I know again, hear me out) but I have absolutely no idea how to behave in order to make friends. I am often too shy to interact with people so I just kind of pull myself back and hope someone reaches out first. As soon as they do there's a good chance I will latch onto them without mercy. I have realized that I am afraid I do not fit in sometimes within this community (mostly on twitter to be honest) I see a lot of very knowledgeable people when it comes to BL shows and I am too afraid to interact. Here on tumblr and twitter I also (after literally 10 years) realize how talented people are when it comes to making gifs, edits and translations. Something I did not really think much about when I was using Tumblr 10 years ago. I have so much admiration for what people make but at the same time I feel like being a cheerleader from the sidelines by reblogging/retweeting I cannot match up to them too. Now I am obviously very new to BL and the community and I have actually met some lovely people already. I guess I just want too much too fast haha!

BL as a whole... (Disclaimer: The things I talk about are not just directed at BL alone, the issues I list are VERY MUCH also alive in Hetero shows and I would like to see change there too. But to keep on the topic of BL I list them here with my reasoning)

Realizing how far these countries have come when it comes to even making shows about LGBTQ+ is an awesome thing to see. Like I said before I come from the time where all I could really do is ship two band members together and fangirl over them sitting next to each other basically. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community myself and I live in a country is supposed to be very accepting so it is nice to see the steps different cultures are taking as well. However I do feel we are not there yet in the way they portray things. Consent (this is obviously not only a BL problem) has been a bit of an issue for me in some shows. Power dynamics - My main issue show for this one was Cutie Pie (not very sure how to elaborate further) NC scenes - Still being quite unrealistic sometimes, you really cannot tell me that bottoming is something you do without preparation of any sort. Only gay for xxx -> Straight but gay for this one man is not exactly how sexuality works. I feel like it might kind of give off the wrong idea as well. I do see that some of these trends are turning to the right direction (Between Us being a good example for consent for example)

Now I obviously know that these are fictional stories so please don't come for my throat over this. I am just listing a few things I have noticed in my journey.

The shows...

Now I would like to use this last little section here to mention and give my thoughts (positive and negative) about some shows I have seen. Let's start with the good shall we.

KinnPorsche -> I have mentioned this show before but I would like to do it again. I fell in love with this show, the actors are amazing, the storyline is great, the chemistry between the couples, the diversity in the storyline, the humor, the serious moments... It has so much and the casting they did for this show is a legit 10/10 Apo is such an amazing actor, Mile is his perfect match for the role and don't even get me started on the rest of the cast I would probably pull up an entire powerpoint presentation.

Life-Love on the line -> Is a Japanese BL that I related to quite a lot. The entire story of how two boys fall in love and grow up together, one becoming more serious while the other stays quite 'childlike' hit me right in the feels (I don't want to spoil things) It was such a beautiful story to be fair.

Semantic Error -> My first BL and what a great start to have to be honest. Need I say more?

Bad Buddy -> I loved this one because of the storyline and the awesome chemistry between the characters. It showed an amazing story of how sometimes you need to put your prejudice thoughts aside to find something beautiful.

Blueming -> The way this story unfolds made me fall even deeper in love with Kbls to be honest. The way this was filmed was just so beautiful.

Roommates of Poongduck -> I was a little hesitant in the beginning of this one. The storyline description did not grab my attention and after seeing how KBL is often focused more on the story than on the passionate kisses for instance it took me a moment to get into it. But we have all seen the kissing scene (that they robbed us of to be fair) and the chemistry between the characters had me sobbing while having the biggest grin on my face.

I told sunset about you -> When I got a little deeper into my research the name of this BL kept popping up everywhere and it obviously got me curious. Boy oh boy this was such a beautiful story I cannot even begin to explain. The exploration of sexuality, gender, love and friendship in this one... Ugh ugh ugh.

Not me -> A masterpiece. The themes, the storyline. They touch upon heavy topics while also maintaining an entertaining series. It's so good.

Love in the air -> Okay so, MOST of the shows above have a lot of deeper messages or storylines and love in the air might feel out of place. WRONG. Sky's storyline shows quite a bit of deeper meaning and I think it was done really well. The other part of why I like this show is because of the actors. They really did such an amazing job with this one and I cannot wait to see more of them.

ChocoMilkShake -> (up until last ep) this was my comfort show. I kind of ignored the dark side of them leaving and just focused on all the cute stuff but I just love it. They better give me a happy ending though!

Between Us -> I have seen UWMA and I must say that although the story was very very beautiful and touching and heavy... I did not vibe with the insane drama as much as I would have hoped. I did however enjoy the WinTeam moments quite a bit. And then BOOM Between Us happened and I am having a blast with this one. Consent being a big plus. The storyline is good, there has not been (knock on wood) unnecessary drama (I was afraid this would happen with the overhearing half a conversation thing they were giving us but I am SO happy to see it was done in a mature way). I love it.

And now for some shows I would like to give a tiny piece of my mind. DISCLAIMER: These are opinions you can ignore, I am not shitting on actors whatsoever, this is mostly targeted towards writing/storyline. THE ACTORS DID NOTHING WRONG!! I am okay with people asking questions about it though (: I also do not JUST shit on the shows I talk about here, I point out some things and also say what I DID like about it

Lovely writer -> This show holds a scene that I find THE MOST frustrating one I have seen so far. "Let me explain" -Silence- "I can explain" -Silence- "Wait don't leave" -Silence-.... If you have seen the show you probably know what I'm referring to. This is what I mean with unnecessary drama. Characters being angry at each other for longer than needed or for a reason that does not make sense. The rest of the show was okay. I don't hate the show but it frustrated me more than that I enjoyed it.

Big Dragon -> The first episode had me screaming. The NC scene, the open kink representation on this one made me so excited. It felt like the next step towards representation for kinks within the genre... And then that slowly died off. The scene where Yai is with the girl that (I suppose) normally helps him with his kink and then the bathroom scene where Mangkorn orders Yai around were 10/10 too but then it was gone and we were back to quite the normal BL plotline again which I found very sad. In the later episodes I also missed the chemistry between Yai and Mangkorn. I fucking LOVE MosBank together like... They are legit amazing actors and I would love to see them again in something different. I am just a little disappointed in the storyline progression.

Cutie pie -> The power dynamic in this show was not really my style. The controlling BF type deal was a bit hard to watch at times. and I KNOW that this entire show is about breaking free of that but the fact that there it is needed in the first place and the lying and secrets.. it was all a bit much for me. However the casting was really good. The chemistry between the characters/actors is awesome and everyone played their role really well!

To my star -> NOW BEFORE YOU BEHEAD ME, HEAR ME OUT. I love this show. I actually love this show. It is really good. But there are some small things that made me frustrated sometimes. Talking about feelings is hard and I do get that 110% but it sometimes felt quite frustrating and left me with a little bit of a bad feeling. I really hope that this show teaches people that you can only really move forward by talking about your feelings instead of running away from them.

Together with me -> The controlling, dramatic, witch female role. Now again, hear me out. The show is great! The chemistry is there, the acting is 10/10 the casting is 10/10 but it has an element I would like to discuss that I have seen in multiple BLs as well. Now I get that the girl is mad, right. Her BF literally cheats on her (shame on u) but the entire master plan the girls come up with like... damn girls... That's all I really have to say about it. Not all women become murderous, petty witches.

TharnType -> From homophobic to being almost assaulted into a gay relationship. Again casting 10/10, chemistry 10/10. But I see this storyline quite a bit too in deluded forms. Consent is a BIG issue in this show for me. Then there is the "I am only okay with this gay guy" idea too that just kinda made me pull some faces at my screen at times.

If you have made it this far... I'm so sorry?

As for now, I think I have written enough about my BL journey so far, if you DID actually read this far and have any questions about it, feel free to ask. I am willing to discuss anything and everything as long as we respect each others views (:
