Webtoon recommendations for dem nerdy pals

(there's a lot of bl in this ) ←⁠(⁠*⁠꒪⁠ヮ⁠꒪⁠*⁠)

I'm just going to put in my top recs because I've read like a lot

1. Shifting borders

WHEN I SAY THIS IS GOOD I MEAN IT

the story is more world building and characterization based which is amazing for me as an avid Tolkien fan who is extremely picky

Very gay and very cute 10/10 would recommend

I honestly want to give more love towards this author because they have another webtoon called chanta which takes place in the same universe as this and it's equal exciting to read

2. Miss abbott and the doctor

Sooooooo cute and it keeps me engaged

I literally log in every day just to use my daily pass to read another chapter

It's more slice of life and romance based and a great example of opposites attract and enemies to lovers

I would write a lot more but that would spoiling༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

3. Homesick

The storyline? Pops.

The artstyle?so good that I cried.

The characters and roles? Believe me when I tell u that it's perfect.

It's all set in a beauty fantasy setting with terrifying moments and a lot of suspense and thrill

It was so good I read everything over 1 night and woke up the next morning dead but satisfied

It's quite pleasing even for someone who doesn't like horror that much but is okay with gore and angst

Honestly can't wait till the next episode comes out

4.Morgana and Oz

One of the first webcomics I read which got me instantly hooked

It's currently one hiatus but whatever has been already posted has literally brought me to tears. Again it's fantasy and the characters are soo cute and complex

Top tier would recommend to anybody in my line of sight

I would write more but that's for part2

OMG PART 2

SO I HAVE WASTED MORE PRECIOUS TIME BY READIND SOME MORE PRECIOUS WEBTOONS SO LET ME SPREAD THE JOY PPL!!

5. Star Catcher -(ro-taniah)(bl)

i read this while it was still on canvas and i absolutely loved it. right now its originals and i can't tell you how happy i am to see longer chapters with more content.

it's about 2 college boys besties and how their relationship develops

as an anxious person this was a great read and i could really relate to some parts of the main characters anxiety even though it was more extreme compared to what the average person aka me would face.

literally so cute that i'm reading it again now that it's on originals!!!

it updates regularly and is great if you are just looking for a classic

6. heesu in class 2 - lily

this isn't on webtoon but omg such a cute read

i recently reread this and i thought it was quite worthy of being mentioned in this post

it's main couple is 2 high school boys and i can't explain how cute it is

yes there is drama and quite a bit of miscommunication but i thought it was really cute and fun

even the side ship got me feel crazyyyy

also the artstyle is mwahhh *chefs kiss*

there are around 91 chapters including sides stories and extras and you can read it on bato.com for free

but pls support the author as it was originally posted in lezhin if you prefer that

7.countdown to countdown - velinxi / xiao tong kong

back to webtoon again!!

honestly i first started reading this because i thought the art style was so cool and detailed but then the storyline got me hooked.

it is currently being posted on webtoon but the webtoon has its own website so you can read it there as well

more chapters are available on the website so you can check it out if you finish reading the webtoon chapters

it's story is set in a dystopian world in 2044 and the worldbuilding left me speechless + bonus amazing artstyle

velinxi also has other comics so pls check them out

The Italy-Switzerland border is melting

Italy’s land border cuts through the highest altitudes of the Alps — crossing snowfields, mountain peaks, and massive glaciers. For centuries, the watershed line (which marks the divide where water flows either north or south off of the mountains) served as a natural boundary between Italy and its European neighbors. But beginning in the 1980s, geographic surveyors noticed something: The glaciers whose peaks had long marked the watershed line were retreating … and moving Italy’s border along with them. 

The only inhabited place nearby — an Italian ski lodge called the Rifugio Guide del Cervino — was caught right in the middle. Since then, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria have piloted a new kind of “mobile border” agreement, where boundary lines move with the changing landscape. Their solution might prove crucial as climate change reshapes water-based borders around the world.

What are shapeshifters? Shapeshifters are members of the royal family of Chanti. They’re also called blue-fingers, or simply the Vodianovas. Shapeshifters can be divided into young and old. Young ones can turn back into their humanoid form, and are somewhat sentient when they’re in a non-humanoid form. Old ones can no longer turn back. They behave more animalistic and act on instinct.

Old ones neither eat, sleep nor age. And yet, they still kill and consume animals and humans sporadically.  They never deliberately attack chanta - who do not consider themselves human, by the way - although accidents have happened. However, they absolutely kill and consume other humanoids such as homo sapiens (like islanders and mainlanders). In fact, they seem to hunt humans specifically. old shapeshifters have been observed to stalk their prey for days, weeks and even months. As a shapshifter grows older, the hangovers after turning back gets more and more intense. Around the age of 60, they lose the ability to turn back altogether.

If they are immortal, why aren’t there a bazillion of them? Mostly because of the ascension. The ascension makes each generation of young shapeshifters fight each other to the death. The sole remaining shapeshifter from each cohort will live on to attain god status in the eyes of the chanta. shapeshifters are considered extremely difficult to kill. records do exist of assassination attempts by mainlanders, however exceedingly few have been successful.

What are the chanta’s relationship to shapeshifters Chanta consider shapeshifters holy. In fact, they are referred to as Gods in everyday speech. For example, “that God just ate my pidgin”, “there’s a God over there” or “that God knocked my mother’s ashes down from the shelf”. young shapeshifters are not granted the same status, however an important rule of the ascension is that no one is to interfere. Thus Only young shapeshifters are allowed to kill other shapeshifters. The punishment for killing a blue-finger otherwise is dire.

Fun fact! jochi and chani will call old shapeshifters uncle, although some of them might be their grand-grand-grand-father, etc.

I'm working on some Jochi/Bosie genderbends. I also had a huge need to draw Gibson hair, so I had a happy accident!

Bosie and Jochi Redraw 2017

I've wanted to do a redraw of some of my old art pieces for a while. I did this one of Jochi and Bosie in 2017. A lot has happened since then. Jochi lost his horns and Bosie lost all of his limbs.
