Mr McDingDong5729's Things

I’ve read a lot of BL through my teens into adulthood (21) and I don’t feel the same way about it. I don’t agree with typecasting and fetishising queer people, and the lens of ‘seme’ and ‘uke’ is not an appropriate cultural lens to look at anybody with. But. What bothers me is that whenever I look at a BL cover or read just the first chapter, I’m 99% of times right about who’ll be the top or bottom in the story.
I’m sure it’s the same with a lot of BL readers,
My question is — how??
Like they could all look different in their physique, art style yada yada but we’ll always know?? So there’s conditioning at play, of course, because we’ve been consuming formulaic archetypal narratives continually over years of developments in this genre but — I want to know your experiences too?? Because I feel really awkward about it, and it’s also just a question unanswered for me.

Unhinged characters in “hinged” surroundings or “hinged” characters in unhinged surroundings?

Meaning, what’s your cup of tea between:

Painful, dark, traumatic or crazy experiences faced by characters that are just people trying to get through things; lots of emotions, reflection, growth, change etc.

Normal everyday surroundings in the lives of unhinged, “crazy”, dark characters?

When I think about it (being Bi-curious and never having confronted a person of any gender about my feelings for them, if any), it seems rare that a person, if they've been aware of and had time to fully realise their non-heterosexual nature would let themselves fall for and be hurt eventually by falling for a straight person. I think if it were me, I would naturally be on guard and vigilant to indications.
So how does being stuck in attraction towards a straight person go? Is it generally a present, massive phenomenon? Viewpoints of both experienced and inexperienced LGBTQ+ are welcome! So are of those with heterosexual orientation. Do you know if you have consumed any media where the precise reality of this is presented?

I'm an INFJ. I got hecka lot of things to talk about. I never knew how to actually start officially for another soul to see. I have my notes. Lots of them. Now I'm interested in making blogs and vlogs so my writing has been registered. That should be a good base to take off from.
