Hi Francis,
QL pairings where you like/love both people in the pairing an EQUAL amount.
GO!
Oooo, interesting question! Now, there are a good number of these but I'll go for some more recent ones...
Currently airing? Kang and Moo are both beloved baby boys who are doing their best with their own histories and their places in life. I love them both and I want them both to be so, so happy it hurts.
I adore both Aylin and Luna. A+ for both of them. Darling girls who are perfect in every way for each other. Love them deeply, A+ content, always leaves me wanting more.
So far, Tan and Fang and Q and Toey in We Are have won my seal of approval and I love that for all of them.
I loved, and love, both King and Uea in Bed Friends. Seriously, they were both great characters and worked so well in their relationship.
Yutaka and Minoru from Our Dining Table are both beloved babies. Honestly, this is very common for me in Japanese BL. Not always but more often than not I love both men.
Kiyoi and Hira in My Beautiful Man. I love them, both of them, fucked up and damaged and struggling and so damn in love. My boys and their growth A++++.
MyungHa and YeoWoon from Love for Love's Sake were both beloved damaged and hurting boys who deserved to love each other and to learn how to love and be loved and to accept how much they meant to each other and the people around them.
I mean, I could go on and on and on, honestly.
Oh!
Kan and Thua from The Eclipse because I love them both for very different reasons but they are both SO important and SO darling.
Li Ming and Heart from Moonlight Chicken! Adore them. Both of them! Good boys, sweet boys, darling boys. Absolute adoration. So good.
Alan and jeff from Pit Babe because they are both FANTASTIC and so differently and I love them so much.
Look, seriously, the list is a mile long but these are a lot of good and current examples.

British publishers seem to have a strange habit of classifying nineteenth century French novels as children’s books (a nebulous category I know- children are often more than capable of reading so-called ‘adult’ books but I find it odd nonetheless).
Jules Verne is the first one that springs to mind, but the one that always confuses me is ‘The Three Musketeers’. Yes it’s got all the swashbuckling ingredients that make up a good boys’ own story, but I’m really not sure that it’s strictly a ‘children’s’ classic.
This brought to you by the fact that I’m trying to sort all my other Dumas books into order when I realised that the ‘Three Musketeers’ wasn’t among them, even though it’s part of a wider ‘series’, the other books of which are in my ‘adult’ books. But because my copy of ‘The Three Musketeers’ was part of a set of ‘children’s classics’, it’s languishing in a box somewhere, alongside The Railway Children and the Secret Garden (great books both, but very different in tone I think). I don’t want to break that set up but I also don’t see why the story of Milady de Winter is more child appropriate than the Count of Monte Cristo.

thankfully only seen it a couple places, but the idea that one crypto guy who was big into EA turning out exactly like all the other crypto guys is somehow an indictment of EA is a very bad argument. Lots of movements have individual hangers-on who are jerks, con-men, or morons, and the problems with EA (which I have talked about before) are not at all the same as the problems with crypto. it’d be different if EAs had started shilling crypto at some point as a result of crypto guy’s influence, but AFAICT that never happened.

If you know anyone who seems really chill to the point of being virtually indestructible, like nothing could ever bother them in any way, could get hit by a train and just shake it off and be totally fine, laughing it off as soon as they've dusted themselves off and stopped bleeding, but who occasionally just randomly falls apart to complete fucking smithereens with seemingly no cause nor warning, only to get back up again a few minutes/hours/days later like "ok yeah I'm fine again that was weird lmao", and you've ever wondered what the fuck is up with that:
They are actually not ok and most likely are not ok at any point. The whole "hardiest person you know who just collapses randomly sometimes" thing isn't a deliberately constructed façade, as a matter of fact it might be something that they actually personally believe themselves to be. But in reality this is somebody who's either unintentionally learned or has been deliberately trained to hide negative emotions and mask symptoms at all costs, as the #1 priority that goes over any other survival needs.
So even though it may look like they go from 1 to 100 completely at random and unpredictably, and then swing right back again to being totally fine, you have no way of knowing how long they've been at 95% before the last line of defense broke down and the system collapsed. And once they flip back up, odds are that they just managed to scrape their shit back together again just enough to get their backup masking systems running. The "check engine" light never turned on because the wire was clipped years ago.
If this is you, this is your callout to seek some sort of help. I'm telling on everyone in this room including myself.

My paranoid ass, thinking I'm gonna get murdered at any time any time I go outside but even sometimes within the house, getting back into TMA because "nooo, it won't affect me" *pointedly doesn't listen to s1 episode 3 on rebinges*
Goes to the bathroom at 1 AM (the night is the only time I'm actively safe that's my excuse), housemate left the window open (not such an issue now that it's spring), *fucking distorted noise that seems logically to be emanating from a car but is NOT A FUCKING CAR SOUND IN ANY SETTING and also sounds stupidly fictional like a common SFX to boot*
"Ah, so this is when I get killed. They gonna frame this as a suicide aren't they. And goddamnit my hair is doing the anime mom thing I explicitly do Not want to be the fridged trope but I guess my protests were always ignored. I wonder if I have time to write up a will or if they're coming any second"
And being CHILL about that shit-?
