FUCKING HELL THIS ONES ABT BEING A FAG DURING THE REAGAN ERA.

finished reading a really good bl abt an Amish boy x jaded ballet dancer / waiter (rumspringa no joukei) my body is literally reacting like I'm being burned alive curling into a pugilistic stance because I simply cannot handle the good and simple joy of men loving each other. Anyway gay love will save the world

Since you read BL. Do you ever wonder how much research some BL writers come up with for a premise of two guys fucking. Like one of the comics I read had to deal with a very obscure as hell rumspringa in the goddamn Like 80s. Some of it feels anachronistic but other parts show like a ton of work for a small 6 chapter story. Titles called Rumspringa no Joukei if you haven't read it.

How did you know I love Rumspringa no Joukei?

Not to spoil how impressed you were with the research in this one, but I'd say ninety percent of her information came from the excellent movie Witness, and then a few wiki articles :) Ever read Banana Fish though? THAT one blows me away with how well she captures freaking NYC street gangs in the eighties, what the hell. I mean, it's still very stylized and a little twee, but she didn't have to go that hard. Yuri on Ice is another highly specific one.

BL is like any other genre, I suppose. You can write about absolutely anything you want if you're willing to put the research in.

rumspringa no joukei…. ive reread it so many times and it never fails to break my heart each time
