people can read the same stories as you for whatever reason they want lol not everyone's reading for plot or the characters and that's okay. don't worry about it, you'll be fine. people hornyposting about gay sex in the comments of bl comics which are seen by only other bl readers for the most part is not enough to sour the reputation of bl readers......   3 reply

omegaverse stories have some p neat social commentary tbh and i mean the whole spectrum of the genre, wholesome and dark tropes and all, and including the porn. they can cover uncomfortable material but i think those are fun to analyze actually and can both offer value as critique and/or as the subject of critique when it comes to subjects like soc......   reply

i don't think you're wrong to have this opinion and preference; that's your right but i wanted to add my two cents that these stories being fiction means authors can jump straight into the kink fantasy without establishing consensual context. because nobody real is involved they can skip the discussion with any partner(s) involved and just immedia......   2 reply

NO YOU ARE NOT TOO WOKE SPEAK YOUR SHIT!!! like yeah sure whatever transmigration stories are usually wish fulfillment fiction Okay that just means i'm not gonna say that the authors suck on principle for not exploring these topics in their transmigration stories or that readers suck on principle for enjoying stories that gloss over these topics or......   1 reply

discord servers & interacting w ppl on socmed, like twitter if you have it (but if you don't Do Not Make An Account Lmao nobody should be on twitter. bluesky is cool :3) also don't underestimate the chances you have of making friends through dms :D if you find someone with interesting reviews or similar reads, maybe shoot your shot and talk to the......   reply

okay prefacing this by clarifying that i'm around your age but i think the experience makes a huge difference in like. maturity, still? the life experience is still important to develop the skills to be independent as an adult. i agree that relationships within the age boundaries you describe aren't inherently predatory but like the age of early ad......   1 reply

idk if i'd call it a trope but female antagonists in a lot of stories involving nobility and royalty in the setting are written to be shallow even if said stories are written from the villainess's perspective (in those transmigrated stories) & like. write what you want idc. sometimes you're just there for the drama or an easy read. but there's a lo......   reply

short answer: it's just a kink a lot of BL authors write about either bc of sexual repression or power fantasies. in depictions of consensual relationships it's not supposed to indicate a true lack of consent, so the bottom doesn't get angry because they weren't being fr abt it. if you want the long answer here's the yap sesh: BL is a genre writte......   2 reply

i take notes in a way that actively involves my own voice: putting information in my own words; including any comments i have, important or not (actually, the sillier the better. the more i incorporate jokes and references to things that come to mind The Better My Memory); and taking breaks after sections to summarize what i learned (also in my own......   3 reply

not a quote but that scene from I Saw The TV Glow where mc breaks down and pleads for help bc he feels like he's dying from living in this fake body and fake world for so long and the world literally freezes so his cries go unnoticed and unacknowledged. i already knew i wasn't cis beforehand but i didn't feel like i had the time to explore and expr......   reply

i feel like within the story itself it's likely consensual between the characters but the author's framing of it was meant to appeal to dubcon kink or sexual repression (reader too embarrassed to explicitly ask for sex but still enjoys it → likes scenes where sex is primarily the will of the top and the bottom doesn't have to say anything to get ......   1 reply

saw ereri fanart at age 10 & i was like :O !!!!! two men??? and then i saw yuri on ice & i was like More Gay Men????? and then i realized i was some flavor of gay that same yr and then just kept reading BL hip hip hooray   reply

this would be really cool actually like omegaverse is already pretty trans when you think abt it and the established identity and social norms are diff too so how would transgender identities work? bc you can go two ways: trans-ing your primary gender and trans-ing your secondary gender. a lot of secondary gender norms are repackaged or overlapping......   reply

i mean they probably don't... self harm isn't something you can just do for funsies; i've been diagnosed w depression for yrs and have had urges to self harm before that i never went through with bc my aversion to physical pain was stronger than my depression. it's also unlikely that the reason is always because of a rejection. that could be a cove......   1 reply

if party A is a minor then no. in real life i think even being 19-20 is a little iffy but i wouldn't say no as a hard rule because some people have their heads screwed on well. this is bc the differences in maturity and social position are what matter more than just the Literal Numerical Age Difference between them: large age gap relationships (tha......   1 reply
