BL Blog Directory!!

Thanks to @allthefujoshiunite and @blrecs, I too wanted to join in making a BL blog and now hope to continue spreading the blog agenda. I wrote a bit this year, but with school not as much as I would have liked.

But anyways, I thought having a webring would be a neat idea! However I lack the skills to do so and decided a landing page with a bunch of blogs will be sufficient for now LOL. And that's how 801 Blogs was born! Tbh I may change the site title later but for now it is what it is. (801 = yaoi btw)

801 Blogs

A directory of BL blogs!

I include it on the site, but if you have a blog you'd like to add to the directory, please fill out this form :D Your blog doesn't have to be 100% BL!

BL Blog Directory Form!!

Are you a blogger who writes about BL? Come join 801 Writings (name pending lol), a BL blog directory~ For questions @ me @creamy_choux or s

Lastly, recommend today's post from @allthefujoshiunite!!! Honestly the reason I started working on the directory today ahhaha (And not just to procrastinate on my finals.......)

Probably most people already know about this, but I’m still pretty new to BL so I only just learned about this amazing resource:

world-of-bl.com

It lists seemingly every single BL ever! It shows what’s currently playing and when and what platform(s)! It lists upcoming shows and release dates if known! It provides links to each episode! It doesn’t seem to give descriptions, but that’s ok, that’s easy enough to look up elsewhere. I just love having everything in one place.

And the website is so easy to navigate! It’s an old school website.💙 Everything laid out on one page in neatly organized lists. No pop-up ads! No ads at all!! No endless wasted white space that means you have to scroll forever; it’s purpose is providing information in a clear, accessible manner.💙 I hadn’t realized just how much I missed these straightforward, functional websites until I saw this one.

Anyway, enough nostalgia. It’s not gorgeous - the colors aren’t to my taste - but it seems very useful and easy to navigate. It’s great on a computer or tablet, and small but useable on a phone. It seems to be accurate and get updated promptly, as far as I could tell.

I don’t know who manages it, but many thank yous to them, it looks like a huge undertaking.

Mostly I’m sharing because I’m excited to find it, but also in case there are other new watchers who didn’t know about it either.

Citrus Con 2026 - Into the BL Manga Swamp

Hello! For those who missed Citrus Con, the recording of Wendy's and my panel is up. Link is below!

Also here are the resources we shared in the con forum:

This was my first time paneling and I had a ton of fun!! I already have some ideas for a future panel, such as talking about different BL manga magazines/labels!

It's probably been asked before, but where do people watch the BLs that don't get uploaded to YouTube? I keep seeing GIFs and talks about shows I'd love to watch, but I've no clue where to access them. And yes, I'm willing to pay if that's what it takes.

Hiii! So, the vast majority of shows are either going to be on Gaga, Viki, or iQIYI. You can usually find out which one by looking at the show’s MDL page, but not always. If I can’t easily watch it in one of those three places, I watch it here. (You’re gonna need a good ad blocker for that one.) Hope this helps! If you’re looking for something in particular, just let me know and I can find it for you 🩷
