My MA Dissertation on the history of BL and experiences of ✨Queer BL Readers✨ has passed with merit! Thank you to everyone involved in this lengthy process and I hope I was able to convey your thoughts and feelings accurately❤️
@AgentPaloma
Also bc of the diversity in manga we get gay cops, yakuza, idols, athletes etc. Where IF (a strong if) western comics include anything at all it’s a boiled down over-done
bullying-at-school or dramatized coming-out narrative. Where is the diversity in the queer experience?

This is so true and so important! When we were too poor to keep the internet on some weeks, my mom would go to the library to job search while my brother and I read and did homework. Protect libraries!
@retromowgli
Last time I checked you can have a story w dark themes without necessarily condoning them🤔The author has stated MULTIPLE TIMES, it’s not supposed to be a romance but people continue to treat it as one and subsequently villainize foreign authors due to their own misunderstandings

Starfighter became the blueprint for sooo many things I’ve come to love over the years 😳😳 aliens, smutty sci-fi and skin-tight battlewear underthings lol 🔥💖
@historicalfits
People are sooo ugly towards female celebrities. I was lucky enough to meet her once in a bookstore in NYC and I approached her (clearly awkward and nervous) and it was one of the sweetest interactions I’ve ever had. She hugged a total stranger and made my day!
‘I’m never gonna trust you again for the rest of my life!’ And then Eijun proceeds to trust miyuki with his school career, his physical well-being, his professional career, his heart, his joys, his insecurities, his body, their vows, their children etc…
Hi friends I'm being degraded into advertising on my fandom acc but I'm doing an MA diss on how involvement with BL has impacted the historic formation of identity and would appreciate as many participants as possible

Can concur you looked a little deer in headlights when I asked you if you were Kelly LOL but your reigen cosplay/merch bags are simply iconic 😂💖💖

I can’t DM this acc but I need you to be aware that this tweet was so funny I legitimately went away and got an MA in queer history and wrote my dissertation on BL, so thanks✌️✌️
@hotgirldaigo
I love princess jellyfish. The author is also such a wonderful lady bc her message is basically about staying true to yourself and never being afraid to be passionate about your hobbies irregardless of age. An icon✨✨
"Sawamura eijun was born to be a boywife,” I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
"She’s right!!" it shouts. I look for the owner of the voice.There in the 3rd row stands Sawamura Eijun himself.
@ScytheFoster
Sk8 the infinity really said, ‘yeah we’re giving you the first boost of serotonin you’ve felt since pre-covid’ and then just TOOK IT AWAY....,
I watch this clip for pure serotonin bc it really has it all:
✅ Casual and respectful trans rep in anime
✅ Yuki’s ‘Good Girl’ (Sexy!!)
✅ Anesagi being a nagi oshi is sooo cute!
@hunieday
I think about this scene legitimately every day of my life because Yamato tells riku he doesn’t want to use a man’s lap as a pillow but then in rabbichats he APPARENTLY USES MITSUKI’S LAP AS A PILLOW??? 🤨🤨 STOP THE HYPOCRISY!!
It’s funny how no one ever categorizes the majority of male Shōnen fans as perverted, cishet men obsessed with sexist tropes but when it’s something with a predominantly female audience suddenly everyone wants to act like we’re living in The Crucible🤡
no one:
JJK as a 2011 wattpad fic: i was getting ready for school, styling my black hair. as i looked at my blue eyes and long lashes in the mirror, my dad came in. “i sold you for cigarettes” he said. “come meet your new master.” i went downstairs and there he was...gojo satoru

@diddl96
Thank you! I feel like people gang up on the author when all she intended to do was create a scary and psychologically dark story. She shouldn’t be blamed for how people choose to (wrongly) consume her media as a mlm romance when it clearly isn’t.

@ellisanjali
AND she apparently even said once that Sangwoo was most likely straight, when it came down to it. In this sense bc it’s a dark story sex is being used as a tool to display negative power dynamics, not a healthy mlm relationship. People need to read more critically smh

@chimmyisbabie
That’s literally not what it means but go off...Irregardless of one person making a tasteless statement, the word isn’t about the fetishizement of gay men...
@serenasjoy
What do you expect from a woman in a position of such gross wealth & privilege that she never would experience any of the real-life atrocities on which the show is based? Rich celebrities are the exception to legislation which impacts real peoples rights and bodily autonomy🙄🙄

You went to college right? (Not that it shows) But I guess you don’t want people to have the same opportunities as you. Just say you hate the poor and be done with it.

That was more of a late antebellum era style dress so it was a bit before the gilded age (1861-1865) v the 1870’s but her silhouettes are nice nonetheless
@Cat_MarsEchelon
Okay so you suffered having to pay...So you don’t want future generations to benefit from free products and be free from the struggles you encountered?🤔
My biggest fuckoff dream is to host a fandom gathering like the ones they do in JPN or KR, like renting a small theater and watching one of the i7 concerts (or the upcoming concert movie 🥺🥺) and having everyone bring their merch and also we eat lots of snacks
@refrainbow
@webtoonofficial
It makes me sad to see people hate on you when your comic literally brings joy to so many people (myself included)! It’s always the people who don’t put anything positive out into the universe that have the most to say 🙄🙄
This past year was hard for everyone academically (for obvious reasons) so I'm happy I was able to complete it, even if it's not up the standard I would usually hold myself to. I hope even despite this you all enjoy reading it. Thank you an immeasurable amount for your words❤️
Sam back at it again with the best of opinions💅 I’m tired man, just let queer creators make what they want. Let their creations exist as their personal safe space.
The entitlement people have over small LGBT creators has /got/ to stop. Other queer people don't exist solely to create depictions only you like. None of the discourse around "Good" Representation focuses on what OTHER LGBT people actually enjoy reading.
@eimochis
Lmaoo people are on twitter later lowkey mad at miyuki like, ‘How come he was flirting with eijun?? He JUST said he had a boyfriend!!😡😡’ Meanwhile the other half is like ‘duh!! They’re dating each other??’
At every interview transcribed, I feel a overwhelming happiness at the collective use of the word "Us" [BL fans]. The face of these fans is changing, becoming inherently more queer and the use of the word "us" demonstrates that even if it's just online, we are never truly alone.
It's time to stop pretending that Momo and Yuki in IDOLiSH7 are not canon queer characters in a romantic relationship.
If you'd like some proof, read on below, and beware of spoilers ahead!

Sorry guys but this isn’t true. Bisco Hatori just said at anime expo that she would love if ONE DAY ouran got a continuation, so we can hope but for now nothings for sure 😔
