BLVN Banners Neocities Page

I finally finished uploading all of the BL game banners I've saved over the years to my Neocities page and decided to share it here! Right now the site has over 1100 banners from various BL game developers, including larger companies and doujin game groups. I also uploaded some other things such as the Lycée trading cards, BL game magazine covers, and banners of other boy's love related websites. It's not meant to be a complete database, just a fun little website where I upload everything I find! I'll keep updating it from time to time.

The banners don’t link back to anything by the way, as most of the original websites no longer exist and can now only be viewed through the Wayback Machine. However, the game titles or company names are usually written on the banners themselves. I also included a few banners from games that aren't technically adverised as ''BL'' such as Hanakisou, as they were featured in BL game magazines and were also included in the database of the BL information website ChilChil. There's some banners I couldn't access because they weren't archived, such as the first set of Taisho Mebiusline banners and the Kimi no Naka no Palladium and Gin no Eclipse banners, so if someone did save them back then, feel free to let me know! I'm still editing the pages right now so there might still be some mistakes.

i think the most insufferable thing about this hobby (otaku/BL history) is that i do unfortunately Not enjoy shotacon and think it is disguising but expressing this brings the most annoying people out of the woodwork. yes i know people explore parts of the human condition with it yes i know my favorite artist Probably made some themselves. that doesn't mean i have to like it or even respect it. what are we even doing.

idk. difficult to navigate. well not really, but people act like this logic of "i know it exists and has a role in the genre even if i don't like it and also don't think its as heavily influential as people claim" is fuckin ridiculous. it really isn't, i don't think. anyways theres my opinions on shotacon, which im sure everyone was dying to know.

Just read "Massive: Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It" by Anne Ishii, Graham Kolbeins, and Chip Kidd. It goes over gay manga written by gay mangaka, including excerpts of their work and interviews going into their work and background. Please give it a read if you have the chance!

Obviously, I have more of an interest in BL than geicomi (referred to as bara by a lot of english circles, but i will stick to the more updated term throughout this post) but it did make me think about the similarities in the two. The line is very blurry between them, has been for awhile. And I think while BL does focus more on an appreciation for gay love as a story telling device, and something that is appreciated for the beauty of love- unconventional or no. With very beautiful boys and the like, but it feels rare that there is any focus on the boys themselves as sex objects, right?

The earliest possible installations, like Kaze to Ki no Uta, it was more about plot. Focusing on tragedy, romance, it was story driven and beautifully so.

Contrasted with geicomi though, I really like that after reading some of these interviews that a lot of this artwork comes from a deep love and appreciation for the male form. Focusing on parts they love about the male physique and channeling it into their art

Like the legendary artist Jiraiya, his work always on chubbier men, with a certain type of cut, type of beard... usually doing sports. He loves these things, he loves how men do these things. I find a lot of beauty in gay artists portrayal of eroticism when it comes to men. There are some details that are just pure of adoration.

All and all, both of these intertwine in ways that may not be very apparent to the average reader. Both of these genres kindof had an origin in wanting to do something that a traditional publisher wouldn't cover. They frequently describe turning to gay artwork and portraying gay relationships as "freeing." i think it's nice, to feel freedom in this expression of love.

feels hard keeping this blog active (who cares) because its so rare to find a lot of archival material pertaining to BL. but its like well. i could corral my general yaoiposting here but that detracts from the spirit of this blog a bit Dx dont get me wrong, i love sharing what i read and my takeaways with others. but i've been primarily chipping away at Nitro+ CHiRAL games and that just feels like a can of worms i don't feel like opening (great games, i don't really like the crowd it attracts for the most part though)

oh well. gay erotica my everything.

my BL haul 2day.....

maybe i just see no reason in arguing online anymore lol. i just block people who get really annoying about their opinions. wish more ppl did it

[fujinhistorian]

most fujoshi (in western internet spheres) are also queer women so it's always really disheartening to see them being extremely homophobic & transphobic all the time. i feel like because its queer media consumed by queer women that people think they, like, are exempt from horrible behavior?

it's something i notice a lot. i get some people can be really annoying about their opinions on the genre and have shit beliefs on it but on twitter & tiktok especially (or maybe i just don't Also get put in those circles here on tumblr?) everyone immediately starts pulling out slurs over it. i think if you are going to be reading stories about gay men's lived experiences (which is morally neutral. to me.), the least you could do is keep from calling them faggots when you disagree with them.

fujoshi always had this problem though. its a lot less common now than it was a few years back. more people wanting nicer and more realistic stories, more people wanting something to mirror their own queer experience, but it's still disheartening to have such a loud and horrible minority be the face of those communities.
