Yaoi Meme
Yaoi meme; translated and tagged by kanky/the_seijin. (Hello, procrastination!)
:: Awakening ::
1) How long have you been an 'otaku' for? How long have you been a dodgy fangirl (i.e: m/m) for?
- Wouldn't consider myself an otaku (hell, I rarely read or watch anything), but I've been "into" the anime thing for almost six(?) or so years now. As for dodgy fangirl, maybe three years? (I'm a late starter, obviously.) ^^;
2) What was the first series you got into for m/m relationships?
- The first exposure I had was Yu Yu Hakusho (Kurama x Hiei), when I was looking for scanlations of the actual manga. I wouldn't say that seriously got me started; I came across a (censored) sadistic NC-17 doujinshi by Arina T., freaked out, thought I'd committed some cardinal sin and banned myself from touching the computer for the next three days. >_>;; I guess Prince of Tennis it is, then.
3) What is the first ever official BL series you liked?
- Don't really follow official stuff. First 'official' thing I read was "Thief and Detective", scanlated by Aku-Tenshi. Very traditional yaoi (suave seme, flustered clumsy uke), but. :P Was alright, but didn't like it all that much.
4) What is the first BL game you have played?
- Fanmade game (Yami no Matsuei) by Akane of Cursed Moons. Gave up pretty quickly; I'm not a games person (I don't like the possibility that I might not win) ^^;
5) What is the girst BL drama CD you purchased?
- Bought none, heard none. ^^;
6) When was your con debut (presumably in terms of 'dodgy' stuff)?
- If anything, Manifest 2006, where I 'helped' (read: interfered) with kanky and sarahofcroydon's Yaoi panel.
7) Have you ever started a fan site?
- Not one of my own, no. Might in the future. ;)
8) Taste in semes. Please use the following key: [◎ = Delicious! o = Quite nice △ = Not really... x = oh God no)
. Middle aged x
. Shota x
. Sadist △
. Aggressive x
. Spastic ◎◎◎◎◎ (do I make my point clear?) :D
. Puppy o-△ (not 100% sure what they mean)
. Wild o-△ (again, what is this 'wild' thing?)
. Clumsy with emotions ◎
. Megane (glasses) o-△ (doesn't really matter)
9) Taste in ukes. Please use the following key: [◎ = Delicious! o = Quite nice △ = Not really... x = oh God no)
. Middle aged x
. Shota x
. Diva x (how come this wasn't an option for the seme, out of curiosity?!)
. Sasoi-uke ('come hither'-esque temptress) o (they have to be shy about it, though) :D
. Osoi-uke (uke that jumps the seme... horny uke?) △-x (not my thing)
. Puppy x
. Wild △
. Self-sacrificing (mm?) o-△ (depends on how it's done; I don't like my uke to be too disadvantaged, really...)
. Megane o-△ (again, doesn't really matter)
10) Taste in situations. Please use the following key: [◎ = Delicious! o = Quite nice △ = Not really... x = oh God no)
. Silly ◎
. Dark/Angst o (when I'm in the mood, why not!)
. Businessmen △
. Highschool △
. Childhood friends △-x
. Master/Servant △-x
. Historical o-△ (haven't really considered it)
. Fantasy (presumably high fantasy) △-x
. All-homo (huh?) x (as in, "everyone on Konoha's gay"?)
. Orgy x
. Reversible xxxxx
. Lesser-conquers-superior xxxxx (on your knees, bitch!) >:D
. Fem-body (the boy decomes that of a woman) x
. Dialect/accent o-△ (never really thought about it)
. Age gap o (in favour of older seme)
11) Tell us your favourite pairing dynamic (i.e spastic x diva, boss x subordinate)
- Not sure how I'd categorise it, but sort of like sarahofcroydon: more powerful seme becomes smitten with uke; lots of chasing involved, hilarity ensues. :D
12) Anything that was not in the lists above that you totally find yum?
- Can't really think of anything. (Unless you go by the history of my two OTPs, in which case 'silver haired x brown haired'.) :P Honestly, I'm a very boring traditional person and kinks largely fail to turn me on. ._.
:: Currently ::
13) Any BL creator's works you are consuming?
- Don't do original BL. Though I think Hal's recently been published in a BL magazine... :S (If you count doujinshi, then Halco, Oyamada, Kamon, and I've decided to give Shigemi Satoru a try.)
14) About how many BL-eque mags/zines do you consume in a month?
- None; again I don't really do original BL. (Again, counting doujinshi... oh feck, I don't want to think about it. T_T Also, they arrive in batches every few months, so I wouldn't know...)
15) About how many BL-eque comics and novels do you consume in a month?
- See 14.
16) What's your most favourite genre (or series) at the moment?
- I'm a horribly monogamous person who can only 'ship one pairing at the any one time, thus, Naruto. I admit to not following the series and not having read it in the past three years or so year. >_>;; (Hey, everything I need to know about canonical plot I've learned from fanfiction~)
:: Lastly ::
17) Pick 5 people to pass this meme on to.
- I don't even think I have five people reading this journal. That's just... incredibly sad. T_T
I think you can conclude from that that I'm a very, very boring, traditional, sappy-romantic yaoist. Hn. =_=;; Oh, remind me to do that OTP meme from ages ago, at some stage, too.
On a completely unrelated note, I watched Monsoon Wedding last night on SBS. Wasn't that impressed; Dubey and Alice would've been my favourite couple if Dubey wasn't so festy looking. (Dubey = scrawny-looking nasty wedding organiser with festy smile; Alice = shy maid at rich person's house)
Then I realised that if you squint and tilt your head sideways, that's my OTP in disguise (minus the festy smile; I'm sure Kakashi is quite the looker, full of rugged, boyish charm). T_T Practical, tough-as-nails, emotionless seme becomes besotted with the humble, kind uke; seme has to embark on a great deal of over-the-top wooing whilst the uke plays hard-to-get; eventual happiness ensues.
On that note, Kakashi and Iruka would make an excellent Bollywood couple. XD I can envisage Kakashi being quite happy to do the ridiculous on-your-knees-with-a-bunch-of-flowers-in-public courting, and Iruka looking scandalised and pushing him away in all those dancing sequences (but secretly loving every minute of it). Of course, Sandaime would be the traditional!father-figure. The only downside is that Bollywood never shows its couples kissing, but.
Oh gods, I WANT TO DRAW THIS RIGHT NOW.
