#Levitical prohibitions notwithstanding

[ryuutchi]

Distracting myself by daydreaming about writing BL about R' Yochanan/Reish Lakish. 

This is a real thing that really happened (according to the Talmud, anyway). An extremely beautiful scholar (Rabbi Yochanan) convinces a bandit king (Reish Lakish, or Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish) to become his "study partner" and rejoin society as a well-respected scholar. This is a BL plot fr and yet no one has written that gay shit.

There’s so much potential for stories set in the Amoraic period but gay Jewish shit centered on the era is nonexistent.
