#MOAR BACKSTORY

[cowboy-robooty]

i am a landa x herrmann shipper in a world of aldo x landa......

[inquisimer]

wringing origins like a sponge for the tiny details more of duncan

[lochiiee]

every day i pray we get a harbinger with no sad backstory and no purpose for being awful they're just really shitty for no fucking reason they had an awesome childhood

[chobani-flip]

so... "the fire was a beast" "so are you" & "you think i do" "god i hope so"

they are EXCELLENT ABSOLUTE BANGER one liners.

and "god i hope so" is surrounded by some nice dialogue, neat backstory exposition... so i just hope they keep it coming in s8. that we get more scenes with them, more character-building dialogue. i don't need a banger closing line in each and every one.

just give us moar woooords

I honestly wish his backstory as more fleshed out,we only got a snapshot of his previous life and I NEED MOAR

But yea, he's great. Also the fucking sweater? That's on brand.

This Week In BL - Everything is Awful or New or Both

Feb 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessmen t of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

My School President (Fri YT) ep 11 of 12 - It’s an ep 11 so we knew this was gonna be a downer. This was definitely a “date me date my friends” kind of situation. At this rate, GeminiFourth’s other characters in Chicken are going to kiss before TinnGun do. I love Tinn’s dad. Also, it looks like our a tiny little ship of crumbs is sailing. How cute is that!? Sunshine + sunshine! Bonza. 

Bed Friend (Sat YT & iQIYI uncut) 1 of 8 - Fuck buddies get messy, AKA Between Us the second cumming only this time in an office (and on a desk). I have been waiting for James to hold down (or be held down in) a BL for years! All hail the new kings of high heat. BUCKLE UP I GOT A LOT TO SAY. I like that there’s a dark underbelly (*snicker*) of trauma to this one, it has a slightly a Japanese feel which suits mature characters and an office setting. King’s yearning worried eyes are glorious. Poor thing, he totally adores this beautiful broken fragile boy and doesn’t know how to capture his attention. I admit Net was the one I worried about with this pair. James was always gonna be great. It turns out, I didn’t have to worry. This is an awesome show and I fucking love it. It nearly scooped the top spot. Frankly this is the Office BL I have been WAITING for Thailand to give us. 

NOTE: I watched both YT’s cut and iQIYI’s uncut version. (Anyone else feel odd using those terms under a high heat BL context?) I like YT’s better, mostly iQIYI’s interface is shit. Deets? There was a little extra from the “morning after regrets flashbacks” but not so much I think you’ll regret missing it. Unless you REALLY prefer high heat. The emotion of the sexual connection and Uea’s lonely submissive need was transmitted in both versions, but the iQIYI is slightly more MOAR. 

Never Let Me Go (Tues YT) ep 10 of 12 - Flashbacks to the cutest boyfriends ever and then PAIN. All I can think is “thank fuck this was handed to Pond & Phuwin.” One of the world’s saddest executions of the sniff test trope. Meanwhile, Perth is SO GOOD but I wish Chopper would record his conversations with his dad. Look, we all know Chopper is gonna take his dad’s bullet for Nuengdiao, right? Oh well, if you didn’t know, I just told you. 

Moonlight Chicken (Weds YT) 3-4 of 8 - The plot... erm... thickens. I told you Jim had a tragic backstory with an ex. And now it’s all gotten VERY messy. Sigh. Fourth & Gemini are cute, tho. 

Hit Bite Love (Sat YouTube) ep 4-5 of 6 - I do like King & Burger. The idea of giving your perspective boyfriend your CV is ADORBS. Auditioning for the part, as it were. I would like it known that my sexual identity is chili (AKA spicy) henceforth. (My pronouns are MaxTul & sometimes Phi.) Look, this is an absurd show. Last ep it was BDSM 101, this ep we got a lesson on how to use a condom properly? AND why the closet is both necessary and damaging? I mean I applaud their educational endeavors but BL: The After School Special? Did I sign up for Degrassi Junior BL while I wasn’t looking? 

Boyband (Thurs YT) 1 of 10 - BL drama about putting an idol boyband together. AKA how to make ABL suffer by combing favorite (celebrity romances, Kpop) and least favorite (bad singing) tropes. AND? I REALLY like it. It’s fun! What singing there is, is looped not live. So we in Cutie Pie territory. It’s easy to skip. The pairing is rich/poor and I like an other side of the tracks romance.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

HIStory 5: Love in the Future (Taiwan Weds Viki) ep 8 of 10 (or 15&16 of 20) - Covid strikes. Boyfriends are worried. Omg they are so cute and hot and awkward. Tension in the office politics too. It’ll be okay, babies. 

Jack o’Frost (Japan) ep 1 of 6 - After getting dumped, Ritsu has an accident and gets amnesia. Ikuya, his ex, struggles to help him regain his memories while wondering about the state of their relationship. But Ritsu falls in love with Ikuya all over again. Engaging opening but I’m just not sure about the premise. 

It’s Airing But ... 

Chains of Heart (Sat Gaga) 1 of 10 - Not dropping for me until tomorrow so it’ll be in next week’s round up I hope. Suspense thriller about a forest ranger, smugglers, amnesia, and lost love. Stars Haii (Cirrus in TT2) and Marc (My Gear & Your Gown in YYY). Adapted from a Y-novel of the same name by TJ Tommy.

My Beautiful Man 2 (Viki & Gaga) - Because there are only 4 eps, I decided to wait and binge this one. 

Cafe In Love (Thai) 10 eps on Ch3+ - Thai pulp, stars the actor who played Noh’s best friend Ohm in Love Sick 2. When his coffee shop closes, a man tries everything to save it and falls in love along the way. I had a hunt but can’t find it. 

Moments Of Love (Thai) Feb 14 Foremorfilm Production movie for cinema release. Was originally a series with Golf (609 Bedtime Story & The Eclipse) to direct, and SmartJames (LeonPhob from Don't Say No) to star. BUT is now something totally different. We’re all confused.

Destiny Seeker (Tues WeTV ) 10 eps - it’s not on any WeTV I can get ahold of. Engineering student Songkram is head of dorm 3, for "strong & athletic" students. Aye is head of dorm 2, for the "good looking" students. Aye used to be Songkram's tutor and friend, but they fell apart after becoming dorm heads. Aye is actually in love with Songkram but thinks Sonkram likes someone else. Songkram actually likes Aye. So, Bad Buddy the pulp rebirth meets that weird Japanese “girls-crossdressing-as-boys for love and infiltrating secret society of hotness” tradition.

Our Winter (Thai & Korea ?) - TutorYim vehicle supposedly airing now. Search me. 

The End Of The World, With You AKA Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu (Japan Sun Gaga) - DNFing this one. It’s way too high heat for them to end it happily and full of dark stuff like cheating, suicide, depression, abuse. I actively HATE one of the main characters and mildly dislike the other. Easier to just stop watching.  

Next Week Looks Like This:

2023 forthcoming BL master post. (see comments some are inaccurate, NOT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

My favorite thing to happen in BL this week. Possibly EVER.

Honestly, such a weird little After School Special. (All Hit Bite Love.) 

SAIL MY LITTLE CRUMBS! SAIL!!!! 

You TELL her, Paw. (All My School President) 

We stan the out boy. Own it, babycakes. (Moonlight Chicken.) 

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? Beautiful by BEAST, look, sometimes we gotta go back to our roots. Check out the legends for what they were, criticize my taste later. Fuck I miss those times when everyone had to sing live and the one with the hot mic had to stop dancing to catch his breath because, ya know, he still had to sing. 

ALL that said, you slackers should check out HELLO GLOOM - Dancing In The Dark. I alway said IMFACT was the most woke Kpop group, now they broken up(?) nice to see ‘em solo in queer fuck-off style.

[greasycheese]

I’ve made moar art! Like last time, context/fun details are under the added pictures. If you’ve seen my UnVale, you might’ve seen one of these:

Wanted to diversify my characters, so I redrew Marie (if you remember her at all). I looked into some Romanian culture for her backstory and clothes. It’s not much and I know, but I wanted to draw her so bad.

A terrible doodle of a head perspective practice turned into this. Very proud, she’s a giant mountain woman and I love her :D

I dunno I meant to draw a gnome with a party hat instant of a stereotypical point one but this works too. I was tired of people asking why he was naked so I put a hand in a pocket for pants that don’t exist in this timeline (yet)

A face lost in limbo. Maybe I’ll play into that if I ever find motivation again.

A silly goose I’m VERY proud of. I saved the best for last on this one. I was so proud his hand was interacting with his clothes and it’s such a small detail. And we’ll ignore that this is the second person I’ve drawn with high thong strings out. Seriously shh

KNOCKOUTS: Teppuu (2008 - 15)

Teppuu is an 8 volume sports series by Ohta Moare about a girl naturally talented at sports getting into MMA.

Perpetually bored, Natsuo Ishidou has been physically adept for as long as she can remember. Her ability to almost instantly pick up any kind of sport has left her constantly searching for any kind of challenge. However, because she rarely finds anything difficult, she has developed a narcissistic and apathetic attitude toward everyone around her. One day, Natsuo sees a fellow student trying to advertise a mixed martial arts club. When the girl, named Yuzuko Mawatari, targets Natsuo from the crowd and extends an invitation to her, she becomes irritated with her demeanor and accepts the request in an attempt to discover why Yuzuko seems to be so carefree. But while Natsuo participates in the mixed martial arts club, people from her past still have a bone to pick with her. Can she deal with the consequences of her poor attitude while rising to the challenge of someone who may actually be stronger than her?. - Baka Updates

Recently got a digital ENG release via Kodansha & JP also available through Kodansha.

CWs under the cut. General severity rating: mild to mod.

no sex & shockingly little suggestive stuff for a seinen about girls

violence <- in the context of characters competing in mma. not gory, but there's blood and some visible injury. a good deal of nosebleeds.

physical abuse (inflicted by an older brother) <- shown in ch15, ch22; including throwing a bottle at his sister + punching her

bullying <- in a backstory, first comes up in ch19

HEADS UP: not strictly gl but the yuri undertones (overtones. tbh.) are insane.

[leronsrela-eylan]

moar txekat !!!!!!!! in some of her performance gear :D someday i want to nail down a color scheme, but for now she’s just chillin in greyscale

character rambling under the cut woo

tbh i was half-asleep writing her original description so i’m constantly rethinking her personality and backstory. the main thing i’ve decided on is that txekat is... kind of a jerk <3 or at least somewhat standoffish lol

i imagine her clan is very close-knit, like you-are-always-surrounded-by-other-people close-knit. . so even though she does love her family and her people, her independent nature ends up clashing with them and she ends up pushing them away! and even though it hurts she tries to justify it as some inherent part of herself and pushes away ... and that kickstarts some kind of fun adventure hoorayy

i don’t know if that makes sense, but i like using na’vi ocs as like, vibes, instead of solidified stories lol. not to mention desigining outfits and stripe patterns and whatnot.

this wasn’t a huge ramble in the end! on my other sideblogs normally i get full on essays going in the tags but i wanted to switch it up a little lol

[mercurialmalcontent]

I WANT MOAR: Rasputin and his zombies, please :D

(From this ask meme!)

"More double-dipping?!" I ask in faux-outrage, because you know that Rasputin is my other beloved baby ♥

So Aud knows this but I don't think anyone else reading this would -- He was originally a character created for an RP that never ended up happening, so I repurposed him for the other NaNo project I started in 2005 before I realized that trying to write two at once was an exercise in insanity. I got to it in 2006 and wrote it as a serial web novel, Zombies In The Spring, which started out as fantasy comedy and ended up a sprawling, unfocused mess that weighed in at almost 150k words.

But I still loved my weird little necromancer and his weird little necromancer family (they're all very Addams Family inspired) and I wrote and roleplayed them with Aud and developed them. Over time I split off a biiiiig chunk of the worldbuilding for the backstory of Absolution, then warmed up to the idea of moving Rasputin and his city away from a gaslamp fantasy world and into the modern/near future solarpunk fantasy world Absolution exists in. And then I was at loose ends without a story for him, but after a lot of thinking and borrowing a flavor idea from @bleaksqueak, I came up with a more focused and less... cartoonish job for him than creating flesh golems for manual labor, worked out a sketch of his culture (partially inspired by DA's Nevarra, but "What if a death-focused culture was presented as joyful and caring, not grim and icky"), and from that realized that his whole thing of ethical reanimation could lend itself to him having to solve a murder mystery.

It's still cooking -- one major component I'm missing is the who and why of the murderer, which is kind of important!

[essayofthoughts]

I was tagged by @rightpastnowhere over Here (and for once I’m getting on it in a reasonable time; other people who’ve tagged me in things... I’ll get there. I promise.)

rules: post the names of the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! tag as many people as you have WIPs! 

Because of the sheer bullshit number of WIPs I have, I’m gonna be limiting this to my Critical Role C1 fics. My pinned WIPs list is not even the half of it.

I am also not tagging anyone, firstly because Too Many WIPs and secondly because No. I am where tag games go to die.

ANYWAY. On to the ridiculous number of WIPs.

[sunthroughtherust]

tell me more about blame! bc i tried ten chapters and struggled to get into it but your take on it in the tags have made me curious to try it again

It's a manga about stairs

Ok that’s (kind of not really) a joke, but seriously don’t read it expecting a character or plot heavy story. The characters are basically just vehicles for the readers to experience the world and the plot exists…. Sometimes….. In its own way….. On its own schedule…….

The main draw for most readers (including myself) is the gigantic megastructure. In story humans created the megastructure and controlled it in the netsphere with their net terminal gene, a gene only humans had, but something happened and the gene began disappearing and humans started being hunted by the safeguards of the megastructure. Most of the places kyrii walks through are enormous but empty and ragged and old every room is so old and run down, but fun and interesting in a way. someone on tumblr once described the megastructure as like a forbidden playground not built for humans and i have to agree, every panel i see i just want to climb inside and explore. that’s kind of the fantasy for me, being able to walk around with no one else around me as i explore a long ago--maybe never even lived in-- abandoned city.

I will admit the plot leaves a lot to be desired especially whenever nihei writes like…. Explicit worldbuilding, at some point alternate dimensions came up so a character could body-hop into their own body again and it was…. Confusing. So much of the plot and miniplots and arcs are very confusing which can lose the gravity the series tries to go for, but honestly i find it funny in a very engaging way.

As much as i said the characters are just vehicles for the world, it would be better to say that nihei simply doesn’t want the story to be character-focused because he cares more about the architecture. the characters are plenty interesting but the story just doesn't make a habit of caring for their emotions. For example cibo once had to come face to face with an atrocity she caused and then it was never brought up again (but we stand an unethical girlboss scientist). Sanakan had a very in-the-background arc about becoming more human and essentially learning to love. Honestly love is such an important aspect to all of the characters in the series even if it doesn’t seem obvious at first and it's so human in so many ways despite only a few ‘real’ humans appearing in the series. Anyway im just rambling now, but basically nihei just writers things and it's up to the reader to accidentally stumble upon an obsession

ok that was a lot and i don’t know if i even explained the draw of the series, but if you really want to try and get into blame! i’d really watch the 2017 movie before attempting to read the manga again. It's a pretty watered down version of the actual story (since it actually went for a plot rather than just focusing on architecture lol) and it follows one of the arcs with people in them. Also you get a better understanding of the backstory which will give you more of a reason to stay with the manga. At least that was my experience with watching the movie without any prior knowledge of the manga and immediately being like MOAR!!

The only thing i have to say is that the 3d animated movie ‘cutiefied’ the characters too much in a way that i felt took away from the grittiness of the setting, but that’s personal opinion. Another personal opinion is that you should watch the movie simply for cibo’s introduction sequence because holograms being mistaken for ghosts fucking rock

[clumsyraccoon]

Great news! You're in charge of the new DMC anime, what are you going to do with it?

Oh-oh…shi…ah-ehm….dear anon you caught me by surprise xD

(Putting all under the cut because geeeeez, I didn’t expect it to become this long)

Mmmmmh, what am I going to do with it? Since it’s a different media than the “usual” games, I think I’ll try to decrease a bit the “action” part and delve more into the psychology of the characters, the world building, and all those nice little aspect that are not addressed in the games.

1) as stated in a previous post, I would like to know what happened to Vergil (but honestly also to Dante) in her teen years, from Eva’s death to the beginning of DMC3. It would be nice to see what kind of people/demons they have encountered and what kind of impact they had on the twins lives. Did Vergil found some kind of parental figure or friend during those years? Who taught him the “way of the sword”? And who give him all his knowledge about the demon world and demons?

One nice idea that was suggested was foster families: did they get adopted? If so, what kind of families did they find themselves in?

2) following this kind of thought: when exactly was Vergil able to escape Mundus? What/who made it possible? And what happened in that period of time, before he was able to track down Yamato and Nero? How did he survive an escape from the Underworld in such conditions?

3) another thing that I would like to touch would be Trish, Kyrie, and Nico. Like, in dmc3 we see a lot about Lady and his backstory, about his family, and how those things affected her and her behaviour…I would like to give that kind of space to the other girls as well.

For Trish, it would be very interesting to see what she did and where she went when she decided to not closely work with Dante anymore: we see and know so little about her, when she has a lot of potential in terms of personal growth and self-affirmation.

I would be delighted to see the events of DMC4 from Kyrie‘a perspective. How she felt when the truth of the Order was uncovered, when Credo died, when Nero saved her and let her see his arm…this poor girl has gone through some serious shit, it would be interesting to see how she coped with all of that.

We know Nico is the biological daughter of Agnus and adopted granddaughter of Neil Goldstein: here I see another goldmine for family issues. What kind of relationship she had with her father and mother before Agnus abandoned both? How did she end up with the Goldstein? Did she met Tony when she was young?

4) speaking of families, my little heart is always craving happy Sparda family time. I want to see more of Sparda and Eva, more of the little twins, more of their happy moments together. Like, even nice and short flashbacks would be perfect: a little glimpse on what was before the nightmare.

5) speaking of Sparda: his young years alongside Mundus. I honestly want a villain (beside Vergil) to not only be the Bad Guy™️, but to also have nuances, to be a round character. I want to know how they became friends, what adventures they were in as a team, how Sparda helped Mundus sit on the Underworld throne.

6) my biology nerd ass needs more information and world building about the demons and the demon world. How is it structured? We see some places at the end of DMC3 and some glimpses at the end of DMC5…but I honestly crave moar. Also, I may be a sucker for “classic” demonology, but it would be interesting to know if demons are “organised” in a hierarchy, or is just complete chaos where the strongest prevails. Also, since hybrids are possible, all types of demons can have offsprings with humans? Or just the most humanoid ones? Why?

[nebulacritter]

i cooked up sum moar revamps

Decided to revamp some of my characters again, and here's most of the auxiliary troopers!

First, we have Vic! I wanted xem to look more "powerful" to suit xir Illusion power, and xe now looks like more like a sugar glider. The cape was inspired by Bass.exe from Mega Man Battle Network, so that's where the badassery comes from. I also changed xir backstory, too. Xe is a mysterious magician who lives all alone in a little cottage in the deep, dark woods.

Next, we have Tempest, who was formerly Bobo in an earlier version of the story. I made her a butch lesbian because I thought it'd be pretty good rep, and she's just plain adorable!

Here's her true form. Gotta love that scruffy fur.

I've also changed Goober for the 4th time, but I don't blame myself. He's my most changed character, after all! I replaced his Freeze power with Plasma, but at least he still has his Haunt powers. His backstory is a whole lot different now. The scientists of Dokuro Kingdom were told to make a super-soldier using a strand of Spitz's DNA, and that's how Goober was born. He was plain evil until the troopers redeemed him with... the power of friendship. One more thing. He looks kinda like Reshiram.

And lastly, we have Twisty, who was formerly Flip. I gave them wing-ears because I thought it would be cool, and yes they can use them to soar through the air. I replaced their Bubble power with Freeze, because I figured out they couldn't truly kill anyone if they were basically playing Bubble Bobble IRL. Also, the stuff dripping down their nose was changed to actual snot, and they sneeze quite a lot! I've changed their backstory too, so here it is. They live in a town that's always snowy, and they want to become a famous snowboarder in the future.

And that's basically it for now. I'm planning to redesign some of the Dokuro Kingdom dudes and even the buildings of Unagi City!
