No. 02: Primary Color Boys
Thank the gods, I’ve done it. Another round.
Red boys:
Those who lust and love, whether over someone or something, and refuse to give up. These boys are stubborn and heartfelt. They pour out everything that they have for their true passion(s), if not more. The love in their hearts knows no bounds, and nothing may curb them. They are vibrant and daring, indulgent and luxurious. What they say is what they mean. They are not the bluffing type and they will hold their ground no matter the consequences. Occasionally they will even revel in them; the rush and danger of the unpredictable. They are rebels, fighting for a cause. Sacrificing themselves for anything or anyone. They stand out in any way they can and they absolutely adore it.
While their words may be brash, they stick. This is the division of changemakers. Activists. Though it is not always such a graceful position they hold. Red boys can be Dictators, too. While so many things hold true and good for them, they are also easily beset from a path of goodness. In a worst case, they are tyrants vying for power over all. Striking down anyone and anything in their way to personal achievement. Or revenge. Thus, in the best case scenario, they will always need some sort of advisor to keep them in check; lest their evils get the best of them. Red boys obsess over passionate colors. Their namesake red, flaming sienna, the color of wine. They shout above the rest, thoughts booming for all the world to hear. Red boys will wear things which either draw them out from the crowd, or to blend them in so that they may tend to their voracious machinations unhindered by the eyes of onlookers. The former is often their favored approach, however. They love to do things which invigorate them and bring a sense of adrenaline.
Blue boys:
These are boys who are endlessly deep. There is an aire of melancholy and mystique about them. Whether they are sad or not at the moment, their very presence is at worst deliriously sombering and at best a tranquil breath of crisp air. Their anger never will last, but their grudges may take root and hide within the endless expanse of their being; hurting them moreso than anybody else. Much of their emotion and response gets lost within themselves. Often they are sharp and witty. They are the poets and writers, plagued by saddened sobriety. They are pilots, free and soaring through the sky. Mystics and sages and advisors alike. They assign direction when none can be found, whether this is for themselves or those around them.
Blue boys are often hopelessly sick. Lovesick, homesick, physically ill, et cetera. Something always plagues them, whether inside or out. Their childhood is quite troubled in most cases, full of broken memories and incomplete sensation. Because of this, they tend to hold on hard to the things they do cherish, smothering them in hopes of retention. Questions are what they have mastered, but the answers tend to evade their gaze. Like a deject scientist, spending the entirety of their career reaching out to the meaning of things only to feel failure and sadness at the end of their lives at what they haven't accomplished. But what they don't know is what they have. They are incredibly harsh to themselves, expecting only the best. They are their own worst critics and more.
While many may see a blue's favored colors as dull and dreary, they hold comfort and peace for the chosen beholder. Soft greys and pastels, sea glass blue or seafoam green. Clothing-wise, they'd choose that in which they will be comfortable and free to move as they please. They prefer relaxation, mentally engaging acts, and things which allow them to express themselves.
Yellow boys:
Amiable and bright, yellow boys may be too much for some but their souls are easily the brightest. Something about them draws all of the attention in the room, whether they like it or not. Their smiles are blinding and their words cheering and chock full of positivity. They can be overbearing at times but yellow boys almost always mean well. They are akin to coaches in demeanor, showing a path and a way through anything and uniting whoever they can. While insightful advice isn't their strong suit, they are experts at encouragement. Words are not their only weapon. Yellows love to give gifts and show how much they care in whatever way they can. Often with hugging or any other friendly physical expression they can make.
While they are so overtly caring to others and essentially drowning in optimism, it can lead to a feeling of a sort of false fulfillment. They might feel as though the people they treasure so deeply don't cherish them to the same extent that they do. Or that they wouldn't be missed in a pessimist's world, just an ignorant annoyance to the citizens of the universe. Even so, they do try to keep mind of people's best intentions. They typically find a way to inspire themselves like they do others even in the most difficult of situations. Masters of persistence and hopefulness. It may be considered naive at times, but it is truly something valuable.
Bright and eye-catching colors are best of all to a yellow boy, but soft and homely colors such as quiet browns are heavily appreciated as well. These boys will honestly wear just about anything but prefer to either present sharply well or in the freest and most fun way they can. Most of the activities that they enjoy are very high energy and at least somewhat focus-oriented. They also seek out opportunities to help their communities in various ways, in passive or active matters alike.
Been a bit especially distracted today, I’ll try to put out my next round by midnight.
Yeah no I actually cannot focus enough to write effectively. I ensure a quality production by the end of Sunday. If I’m up to it, maybe even two?

hey! i just wanted to say that your first post is just incredible!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
“Gay Aesthetic Trio” Boys
Hey, it’s Nico. Here we are with our first release of boys. I planned originally to post five types at once/daily, but as I started typing my words got away from me. The amount of time five types would take at my size of description might be hours. Therefore, for my own sanity, we currently have a quota of three. Today’s types are the classic gay aesthetic grouping of ocean/forest/space gays boys. So here you have it. Enjoy my laborious craftings.
Ocean boys:
They invoke fear to those unbeknownst to their true natures. Ocean boys can be most nurturing and healing of all who connect with them, but can show the sharpest of teeth in the right conditions. They are incredibly emotional and sensitive, although in which way heavily depends. Whichever their outlet, it is a fierce one. The depths of their person hide the most intriguing treasures and secrets. Complacent and calm, snapping into a wild drowning fervor if they are so prodded.
They are an intersection of all, messengers and distributors. They themselves can be very distant despite all of the communication they can organize with inherent ease. Somehow they always manage to get where they need to, regardless of if they know where they’re going or not. It is impossible to keep them reined in permanently; they will always find a way out and they hate being trapped.
They might enjoy cool tones or bright and vivid colors. Their voices can be enchanting and flowing, or rumbling and scratchy. Maybe even both, or somewhere in between. Their screams are loudest of all. Regarding clothing, ocean boys tend toward things which flow in the breeze or hold so close to their skin that they can barely tell the difference between their skin and the fabric. They prefer activities where they have control or are easily stimulated.
Forest boys:
Fairly lively but they always appreciate a good nap. While they appear peaceful or playful to some, they can hold a broad host of internal battles within themselves. Forest boys are likely inclined to music in some way, whether they play or listen. They have some sort of love for or connection to animals. This connection could be negative, but there is always some present respect for nature or the underlying beauty and uniting factors of all things.
Sometimes they have no choice but to reset an aspect of their lives fully; to burn everything they know down in order to grow and reinvigorate themselves. Some might mistake them for being simple and plain but they are resilient beyond what anyone will ever know. They will always spring back and find a way onwards. Though how long it takes may vary. While in technicality they may thrive wherever they wish, they will always feel most comfortable somewhere that they call home. They appreciate solitude but it is not everything to them. More often than not they feel on edge, but once alone a weight slides off and they can relax.
Forest boys particularly find indulgence in rich colors and earth tones. They often feel best in comfortable clothing. As for their voices, they may sing every word with a nasal flair, or speak with the sweeping silence of rustling leaves. Their eyelashes are long and their eyes knowing. There is always something soft and yet fierce in their demeanor. They’ll do just about anything if they have to but always feel best when doing something they are familiar with.
Space boys:
Empty and bleak to the untrained eye but stocked full of unimaginable wonders. These boys are incredible even when nobody else can see it. They are full of uncapturable potential and daunting mystery. They may be so complicated that they can’t even figure themselves out, much less anyone else. They might have endless creativity and a penchant for adventure.
Despite all of this they can be just as they seem to an outsider on the inside. Endlessly lost within themselves and drifting aimlessly. Lacking stability and warmth as they cling to whatever they can. When they hold on, they hold on hard. They can blow up at a moment’s notice with positivity or negativity alike. Capable are they to nurture something incredible if given the materials. Which, they inevitably have whether they realize or not. While they get lonely easily, they also need time to themselves like it is air to breathe.
They may be drawn towards all sorts of colors, particularly purple or pastels, but give prioritization to darker shades. Their voices seem to echo and go on forever. They might feel unheard or neglected like nobody can hear them. They’ll wear almost anything and have incredibly versatile interests. If they want to do it, they’ll do it and only the limits of physics will stop them.
Would you happen to know what happened to Norm?
Yeah, I was observing his final posts before he deleted.
To summarize, it sounded like he lacked passion for the blog topic, and wasn’t particularly thrilled with Tumblr or inspired to post much overall anymore. He deleted all of his blogs. He’s still around on other platforms though, it sounded like. He was saying that this wasn’t what he wanted to be known for.

Hey.
Nico here. I am (currently?) the sole moderator of this blog and I will be the main contributor to what will likely be a daily stream of boy types. I’ll try to put out three under a general theme per day but as I am not a machine I cannot ensure that I will always succeed.
Eventually, I intend to add in different regular events to occur on the weekly. Right now I’m toying with the ideas of days where I will:
A) Post aesthetic boards to accompany the day’s boy types;
B) Assign a boy type to someone based on a picture of themself;
C) Assign a boy type to someone based on a personalized summary of themself and key aspects;
D) A combination of B and C’
E) Name a boy type based on a specific piece of media (music, excerpt, perhaps a movie);
F) Perhaps assign a boy type to a specific character?
A lot of this information is described in my links, but as I am aware that some users are stranded on the mobile Tumblr app, I am laying it out to be seen in a post.
A final note. I am aware that this URL used to belong to a user named Norm. I am not him, nor am I affiliated with him in any form.
