and the only reason is because there is NO SEX, I'm going to have to shake somebody. REALLY? Two jaded salarymen close to forty is going to be tagged shounen ai? *Shounen* ai? Because they didn't have sex in front of your salad? Be serious now, I'm begging.

shoujo than anything else. But I have read shounen ai with sexual scenes before, although 9/10 times it's usually surrounded by sparkles and flowers and very angular kisses iykwim.

Anyway my point it, if I see another child complain about manga tagging like, "oh no, this is shounen ai, not yaoi"

Shounen ai meanwhile developed somewhat differently. Literally, it means "young boys love", and is considered more a sub-genre of shoujo manga that depicts a love story between two bishounen or "beautiful boys". While shounen ai typically seems "softer", it's because its style is more close to

manga or sports manga). It did usually have sexual themes and there are entire papers about why this is and what it means for female sexuality, given as fans of the genre are also largely female, but it was not a requirement of the genre.

There used to be a time when the two were interchangeable. Originally, yaoi stands for "yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi" meaning "no climax, no punch line, no meaning". It came from doujinshi culture and was applied to derivative works from popular, typically heterosexual material (such as shounen

I need to know whose fault it is that "shounen ai" means BL with no sex and "yaoi" means it BL with sex. No??? But it's so widely used that way that people assume that's how it is.

I wish jrr tolkien could do just a little bit of haunting just to fuck up those tech guys who keep naming their shitty companies after his lore

A cutie! 😭💖

no YOU lie and say you met through mutual friends so you don’t have to admit it was a dating app. i lie and heavily imply we met on a dating app so i don’t have to admit that it was actually in the comments of a work in the silmarillion and other histories of middle earth tag on archiveofourown

The Temple of Melkor, by Ted Nasmith. A vast structure with stone walls and a burnished dome rises above the Númenórean capital of Armenelos. Contrary to most portrayals, Armenelos here looks like London in the late 19th or early 20th century, which is appropriate given Númenor's imperial dominance during this period. Smoke rises from the apex of the Temple; a cart wheels the dead branches of the White Tree Nimloth to be burned upon Sauron's altar. The sky is a threatening yellow-orange with dark clouds massing on the horizon.

"St. Paul's and Ludgate Hill" (1887 or thereabouts) by William Logsdail depicts ahe stately dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in London rising above a bustling Victorian street. Steam and smoke rise in clouds from the teeming crowds and steam-engines below, contributing to the smog in a bleary English sky.

In Tolkien's early drafts, Númenor is an industrialized maritime empire with steampunk warships. That's why I love Ted Nasmith's Temple of Melkor in a late-19th-century Armenelos - it just *feels* right. Note too the similarity with William Logsdail's 1887 painting of St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

Late to this but I'm glad it went okay!

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

A photo of a round blue biscuit tin filled to the brim with butter cookies with various shapes. There is a pink boom with the image of a Javanese woman riding a horse and carrying a spear.

I just opened this biscuit tin and I'm happy to report that miracle exists.

It contains butter cookies, not sewing kit.
