Spike "Stuck in a dark corner with a creature you loathe" is so queer-self-loathing coded

Duck daddy, I'm having an identity crisis! I am someone who, despite being generally awkward at life, can't handle awkward in media. I will literally cover my face or leave the room if a show is too awkward, although I seem to do better with Asian shows, possibly because there is more of a disconnect when it's not in my own language. But now I'm also liking high school setting! I've NEVER liked that before except in some manga! I thought Takara kun to Amagi kun was a one-off because they're so impossibly cute, but I just watched Kieta Hatsukoi and I found that unbearably precious too!!!!!! High school is like the DEFINITION of awkward, what is happening to me? I think now I'm just old so I see them as precious little babies flailing around at life, less relatable than college or adult awkward. I think you've said you prefer high school setting as well, what are the best ones?

Ah ha! the dreaded

Cringe Factor!

These are shows that make me wince from embarrassment for the character. It took me a long time to get used to it in BL, even though it is a hallmark of origin yaoi somehow it's easier to take in print. It’s not just the uke either, in Cherry Magic the second couple gives the seme all the cringe. 

Best High School BLs With Cringe 

Light On Me (2021) Viki - it’s Korea so the cringe it more awkward than it is frenetic, but on the basis of the dildo scene alone. Full review.

Takara & Amagi AKA Takara-kun and Amagi-kun AKA Takara-kun to Amagi-kun (2022) Gaga and Viki - Amagi is one of the best executions ever from Japan who specialize in this archetype, and I have more to say about this drama coming up in a full review. 

My Love Mix Up AKA Vanishing My First Love AKA Kieta Hatsukoi (2021) Viki - Aoki is a completely adorable absolute chaos bi disaster muffin of Japan’s First Order of the Frenetic Uke Brigade. We’d bow before the king but he climbed into a trash-bin with a banana 20 minutes ago. 

Mr Heart (2020) Viki - Korea’s version is always a little different, but pretty much this is their best effort at classic BL awkward uke cringe.

Sorry sorry, this is uni. I forgot. 

Make it Right (2016) YT - Fuse, one of Thailand’s best example of this archetype is a lot more subtle than what we get from Japan, but trust me he is the same kind of chaos monkey. 

Love Sick (2014) YouTube  - the OG of Thai BL and perhaps Noh is a bit more earnest and warm hearted than he is loopy, but wait tell you get him drunk. I think he still qualifies as a more subtle version. 

Great Men Academy (2019) grey - this is body swap and so maybe nto really BL, but Jamie’s portrayal of Love certainly fills this archetype. 

(Taiwan doesn’t love cringe outside of straight dude comedies and comic relief besties.)

Lol so 😂 I made a lot of moodboards for Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Sarah Wilson, and Joaquín Torres, but then I made one more just for me because I wanted to make one more thing to make myself smile. Here's my fun Disaster Bi Moodboard 😂 Enjoy! 🥰

A new mean friend I got the idea from an analysis I read from @potatoes-tomatoes the other day about ring ring’s character potatoes I love your character analysis 

[cherrypine6]

How Scallisaac actually happened:

Scott: I have to tell you something

Allison: I also have to tell you something

Scott and Allison: I like Isaac.

Allison: Wait, what?

Scott: Wait, what?!

Isaac, falling out from behind the door: Wait, what?!?!

Tag your characters, lol

My theory was that the bullets bucky dropped belonged to zemo's gun because I thought... Why would he do that gesture really? With his own bullets?.... But the obvious answer was: Drama. He did it for the drama and only for the drama. Zemo was like "I'm not gonna kill you" but bucky had to go and make a whole scene of it. What a wonderful idiot. And literally, the both of them, kinda just decided to spare each other because "you're funny, you're so extra, I love it. We're cool"
