Tell me your favourite poems, I am suddenly into poetry!
I’m master of my fate
I’m captain of my soul
"I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul"
From the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley (The entire poem is a masterpiece, especially when you know that the poet wrote it after his foot was amputated)
Duuuuuuude! This is surreal! I swear I didn't ses your comment when I wrote mine lol
Mariposa de sueño, te pareces a mi alma,
y te pareces a la palabra melancolía
I carry your heart with me,
I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it
Anywhere I go, you go, my dear.....
E.E cummings (a perfect description of ill fated love imo, anyone who has a "one who got away" person in their heart feels like this)
Et la statue m'embrasse, mais personne ne nous voit
Sauf un enfant aveugle qui nous montre du doigt.
"Dimanche", Jacques Prévert.
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through.......
"I felt a funeral in my brain" by Emily Dickinson (on mental health issues)
"He who climbs the ladder must begin at the bottom"- Takeda Sensei
I read it, it's really something, thank you for sharing
Takeda sensei was the real og.
I'll translate it, thanks :)
It's also one of my favourites!!
Well the translation is:
"And the statue kisses me but no one sees us,
except for a blind boy who points his finger at us"
But the lines lose their beauty cuz they rhyme in French, instead of both ending with "us" which is a little lame lol
that guy was a different breed can't find such kindness like him anywhere. I love whenever he would get into his speeches he'd be like "aRe yOu tUrNeD oFf?" haha
This kind of scares me because it's literally my favourite thing to do and it's also my way of coping now but i feel like there is a lot of judgment attached to reading manga and BL at that would be like cherry on the top. I would want to be open with my partner but I'm also scared of the judgment.
I literally spam him at 4am about yaoi, my boyfriend says he's happy to see it. I usually have a hard time expressing my feelings, but not with yaoi. So, he says he's glad that I do it. This probably didn't help your issue, but if you ever need someone to talk about bl or just anything you're struggling with, (anyone reading this actually) I have discord! Just respond to my message and I'll dm you it. Have a great day/night.
This isn't an issue is you and your partner are 18+ though
Yes. I told my ex (when we were still together). He was weirded out at first but he accepted it. He would even play along when i jokingly ship him with other guys.
I wouldn't outright tell my partner that I read yaoi. I'd just ease them I to it like "dude look at this scene in a manga I'm reading it's fucking hilarious", that's actually what I do with my best friend. I don't tell her that I read yaoi but I'll sometimes send her a screenshot of a character and say "look at this man, his tits are bigger than mine". There was this jojo doujin that was recommended to me, there was a panel where Jotaro had arms longer than my lifespan, I thought that it was hilarious so I sent my friend a screenshot of the panel.
Just ease them into it, show them funny parts of the manga you're reading or show a character that was obviously made to be sexually appealing and make a joke about it, so that when they see that you're reading bl they won't think twice about it. In the end, just remember the golden rule: don't confuse fiction with reality.
I've only ever told my brother and my ex friend. If I were to date someone, idk, I feel like I would still value my privacy a lot, and I don't see the point in telling him/her that I like yaoi because I don't see anything wrong with it but I also don't see the need or why I should bring it up. But if i were to tell them and if they were to be judgemental abt it because they don't know it at first I would just explain what it is and say it is a hobby that I enjoy, if they continue to be unsupportive I would consider breaking up. Theres no point in dating if You're not compatible.
I mean idrc im not hiding what im reading my gf didn't care what I read and all my friends know
Thank you for sharing and please DM that's very nice of you.
Yes.
Yea I get the privacy bit but I'm scared if they ever found out I just don't wanna deal with all that explaining.
The new BLs are all about sex and fetishes and there's no actual plot anymore,it's basically porn at this point.while there are some good exceptions but most are borderline porn and it's kinda getting annoying now, give me character development and fluff once in a while plis.
ya same, thats why now looking for bl and all im going at page 14 15 or smth u know. like even most of the bl reader just read the one with smuts only making it on top of pupularity when the plot is cliche sometimes and is sex all the time :/
Yaois that i know that actually has plot
Oreshika Shiranai Karada
A thousand cranes
The Man in the Mirror
