Ch 242 of the manhwa, "No Home" just compelled me to make this quick mini comic of after Haejoon finishes his call with his dad. This poor kid can't catch a break 😭😭😭

Eunyung would never comfort Haejoon in this way (and I doubt Haejoon would ever be vulnerable in front of him like this xD) but AHHH I just love their dynamic so much!! They butt heads and actively fight all the time, but they also care for each other in their own awkward way😭 It doesn't matter to me whether their relationship is meant to be romantic or not, I just enjoy their dynamic and god do they both need therapy 😩

I HIGHLYYY recommend this manhwa, if you haven't read it yet. The comedy is gold and the character writing is so real. Like, I can 100% see actual people in Korea having backstories like theirs. There's also a really cool animated PV for this manhwa, that was directed by the incredible QMENG, that you can find on Youtube😤❤️✨️

Can I ask, why do you love BL romance better than het romance? What makes them better? I did not mean anything negative, and I know everyone have their own like and dislike but I want to know your thoughts....

Also what do you think that made Asian MLM (BL manga/manhwa/manhua/ danmei) romances better than western MLM romances?

Can I ask, why do you love BL romance better than het romance?

Because I had no choice for many years.

Because that choice was taken away from me by a homophobic, transphobic, queerphobic, acephobic society. So all the romances I read had to be heterosexual, all the romances I watched had to be heterosexual, all the romances I heard of had to be heterosexual.

Because I'm not heterosexual.

Because I never saw myself represented in any stories ever, for over about 20 years (queer stuff existed, but where I was situated in Perth, Western Australia, meant that I was not seeing it).

Because I was force-fed allonormative, heteronormative, heterosexual tropes, bullshit, toxicity, misogyny, patriarchal culture, rape culture and more, and because everyone assumed that was normal, which made me feel isolated, marginalised, alone, and bereft, and cut me out of knowing what a life could look like for myself, and made relationships harder, when you don't have the words or stories to latch onto.

People like me couldn't even be erased out of the media, we hardly existed in the media, and if we did, almost never under our real identities, and almost always having to pretend to be something we weren't, for many people who hated us, or wished we were dead, or simply didn't care about us at all.

So, when I finally got a choice, I made a choice.

And I do not want to read heterosexual content anymore, unless it's queer (like T4T). The only place I actually willingly consume heterosexual romantic content these days is like 80s and 90s and early 00s romantic comedies. It's the only thing I allow through my filter, because so many of them have a really strong bent of hurt/comfort in them, and it's rare to find movies that have this in general.

But yeah otherwise het is just not a thing I look for in fiction. Literally a squick. Literally reminds me of 20 years of oppression in the mass media. It's not inherently bad, it just wasn't good for me personally, to never have a choice.

So I made one :D And my life has been so much better for it. I'm never going back.

Also what do you think that made Asian MLM (BL manga/manhwa/manhua/ danmei) romances better than western MLM romances?

It's just better for me, anon! I find a lot of western published m/m (so not like m/m fanfiction which I still read) often feels stifled and too short for me, and the characterisation doesn't get as deep as I want it to get. I often can feel the rigidity of the novel structure on authors who are trying to rapid release, and the depth I'm looking for is rarely there. Sometimes that's what people want! Sometimes they don't know there's other options!

Sometimes that's true of some BL manga/manhua/manhwa etc. as well. Tbh it's probably true of a lot of it! Serial format doesn't always allow for depth either. But I find the visual format easier to read as well. If I reread western m/m it's almost always fanfiction. And tbh, I'm sure some amazing m/m was published last year, I just get tired of having to wade through it all to find something I like. It got to the point where I was reading like 60+ titles just to find one average read, and I gave up.

The recommendation systems for BL tend to be better and more on point for me, I find most people who recommend published m/m to me generally always miss the mark (which isn't their fault - I'm particular, there's a reason I write what I write - because I can't find it to read!!), but close friends like @morbidlizard who recommend BL to me almost always hit the mark!

I don't actually read much danmei, but mostly because I haven't had time to really sink my teeth into it. Aside from MXTX, I haven't explored much further.

But yeah, hope that helps! :D

Vin Jin x Reader: Studying

Vin helps you to study. Shocking.

Music Theory.

The bane of your existence. You hate this goddamn module. You hate there's an exam coming up accounting for 30% of your overall grade. You hate it with every fiber of your being.

Ugh.

"What's this bullshit?" Vin leans over your right shoulder, face just inches from yours, bluelight from the laptop screen reflecting off his sunglasses.

"Bull. Shit." you respond, punctuating each syllable with contempt.

You study his profile, the angle of his sharp jawline, the way his lips slightly parts when concentrating. Listening to his soft breaths, the pattern of his easy inhales and exhales; a brief moment of peace from your academic headaches.

After a beat, he turns towards you with a patronising grin. Your eyes flicker again to his lips.

"Dumbass. You don't get tonal harmony? It's easy as shit."

Vin's grin doesn't fade when you glower at him, though he does pull up a chair.

With his arm around you, he fills the rest of your night with his voice. Talking to you about tonal centres and dominant functions until your head swims.

In the early hours of the morning, with Vin still by your side, it sinks in. You didn't think he had the patience.

.

.

You both fall into a rhythm.

Vin seeks you out most evenings, where you're sitting in the library with your head in your hands, hair looking further frazzled as the exam date creeps closer, the bags becoming more pronounced under your eyes.

He mocks you for your stupidity, "It's simple, dipshit." Laughs at your idiocy when he repeats something for the third time, chest puffing with pride at how easily he gets this, how music just comes naturally to him, he doesn't need to study. Competitive streak never giving up even where you are concerned.

And when finally, it clicks, he makes fun of your appearance instead.

"You look like shit," he deadpans. "Duke Pyeon, is that you?"

Vin, as always, is merciless and relentless; taking far too much enjoyment from his barbed snipes.

But he feels the ripples beneath the surface, under his own persona he has carefully curated over the years.

Without fail, he brings you snacks and drinks, moaning about you wasting his time and money. You didn't even ask.

Notices your exasperated movements when he scrolls through notifications and messages, and his attention should be elsewhere. He pockets his phone with a put-upon sigh, as if he wasn't waiting for his next cue.

Ruffles your hair roughly after you correctly answer a question, making it look uncannily like a bird's nest. Yet his pulse staccatos when you peer up at him with an annoyed expression.

Leans closer under the guise of reading what's on the screen, until his body is touching yours and he can feel the quickening of your heartbeat.

The tempo of his matches yours.

.

.

After the exam, you sprint out of the hall, relishing your freedom.

Under a gingko tree, Vin waits for you, though he will deny this to the end.

He brags about how the top marks are his, there's no way he didn't get 100%, maybe even 101%. Because he's just that good.

And you can't help but agree. He really is that good.

He calls you stupid, and would be surprised if you pass.

Vin's words are cutting except his blades are blunt. The insult lands on deaf ears and bounces off, never intending to hurt in the first place.

Then he changes tact, and instead if you do pass then it's all because of him. That you owe him one, he's very in-demand he'll have you know, he's wasted so much time with you, you better show how grateful you are-

You feelings reach a crescendo.

His mouth runs, but your heart sprints and you can't take it any more.

Up on your tiptoes, bodies lightly grazing, you press your lips to his.

Behind his sunglasses, Vin stares at you in shock and his body freezes.

There's a racing pulse but it's impossible to tell whether it belongs to you or him.

Just as you begin to regret your decision and pull away, breaking the connection-

Vin's arms snake around your waist, holding you tightly chest-to-chest and continuing where you left off.

You kiss again and it's a symphony.
