Welcome to my page!!!
I can't wait to get this website up and running.
Check out this song cover.
A close friend and I jokingly came up with a story together while we were at work and from there our OCs were born. Though I did most of the heavy lifting when it came to their designs and backstory, I wouldn't have had the will to start had it not been for her.
I've never been much of an OC person, but I truly adore my OCs despite how undeveloped most of them are! The OCs I'll be discussing below are from "An Angel's Wish," a story I crafted while wishing to be in the future despite the (supposed) best time of my life being "now". The rough outline of the plot was created as comfort material for myself. I wanted a story that I needed to read at the time and this was the result.
An Angel's Wish revolves around four main characters: Oliver, Ren, Mika, and an unnamed fourth character. (I'm bad with names. So sorry...)
Oliver is your typical stubborn uke with family issues. Ren is a boy with way too many responsibilties. Mika is a social outcast desperate for someone to hear him out. These three inevitably become involved with each other because of a suicide.
Alluring to the title, the story takes place in a town inhabited by citizens who believe angels are real. They worship angels, create statues for their wishes, and believe them to be beings that can make their hopes come true. Oliver is cynical about them. After losing his brother in an accident 10 years ago, he lost all hope in angels being real.
Meeting Mika is a breath of fresh air. Mika comes in with a fiery passion; he's desperate to find someone who's also skeptical of the blind worship of angels in their town. The two team up, thoroughly researching angel history and unveiling the origins of their small world. That is, until Oliver finds something odd in their research.
Hi, I'm adorableuni! You can call me Uni for short. I'm an adult trying balance my love for BL with my worklife. I've been searching for a safe place to yap about my interests, and I'm excited to make this site my own.
I am strongly of the belief that censorship is bad, and as I've grown into my twenties, I was rudely awaken by the reality that most of my friends do not agree.
I do not think fiction affects reality, and I have been a die-hard fan of incestuous ships and size gaps even before I made it halfway through middle school. However, witch-hunting on the internet kept me away from social media spaces. I never felt comfortable exploring that part of me due to fear of being targeted.
Thinking I could open up to my best friend was a mistake as well. Right as I felt I could trust him, he ridiculed those with "dark" interests like myself and I haven't bothered telling him since. The only people who know are my siblings and one close friend who also happens to enjoy large age gap BL.
Not to toot my own horn but I'm an artist as well as a strong writer! (At least... I like to think I am one.)
I post my more acceptable art online publicly. As I gain confidence with html, I hope to display my artwork here too. This site will likely contain drawings I'd rather not share with those whom are familiar with my SFW art. In addition to drawing, I'd consider myself to be a pretty good writer! With today's literacy rates, I'm easily above the average American citizen. I know the difference between "you're" and "your". Wow!!!
Although my beliefs are pretty much common sense, I feel society as a whole is really lacking that lately. Here are some of my "hot takes" so you can make your own judgement of my character and who I am as a person.
I have several kpop hot takes as well. However, I won't get into it at this time. (I'm just trying to fill the page with as much text as possible to get an idea of what I'd like to showcase.) To keep it brief, fuck HYBE. And quit listening to CORTIS!!! I hate those wannabes with my whole being.
I'm a huge fan of joseimukes, and I love to yap about all the niche shows I enjoy watching! I've been a big Cardcaptor Sakura fan since forever ago. The magical girl genre grew on me from there and morphed into idols. (Hence, the lead-up to K-pop.) Most of my favorite shows aren't very mainstream, however, they're classics in the josei category and with those that share similar tastes! I promise I'm not trying to be "not like other girls" when I say I like niche anime... I just mean I'm not really interested in shows like Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen. I tried!! It's personally not for me is all.
I like to say my taste in anime men was heavily influenced by Kuranosuke from Princess Jellyfish. He definitely changed my perspective on gender expression and feminine-appearing characters.
Kuranosuke was a huge part of me discovering my identity and getting to know myself a bit better. (Largely in part because I preferred when he was dressed up in girly clothing, but we'll get to that later...) I found him to be very cute and I admired his headstrong, comedic character. Princess Jellyfish still holds up as one of the best 12(?) episode anime of all time in my opinion. In most aspects, I feel it aged quite well. I adore the series and I found myself searching for another Kuranosuke within new media I was interested in after I finished the show.
I understand why this show might be inappropriate for young viewers... But honestly, I loved it. I thought Nozomi and Coco were a cute couple, and I felt like they matched each other well. A sort of dumb and dumber pairing, if you will. Do I think Coco could've been closer in age to Nozomi? Absolutely. Did that make me stop watching the show altogether? Not at all.
While I don't think it's great for love interests in shoujo to have large age gaps with their female counterparts, I do think it's a common theme for girls to want an older, more mature partner when they're younger and prepubescent. I believe this is because of the double standard placed on women from a young age, as well as a child's dream of desiring adulthood without knowing what adulthood really is. (Not to mention constant excusing of violent/irratic behavior inflicted by boys when they should be held to the same standard as their female classmates. I digress.)
To elaborate, many young girls are conditioned to be "perfect" and more "mature" than the boys in their class. Obviously this doesn't start and end in the classroom, but I'm sure we are all well aware of that. This conditioning appears time and time again, such as when the supposed "good girl" is paired with the disruptive, misbehaving boy to "keep him in check". What is this if not a way to reinforce a women's place in society from as young as 10 years old? This social conditioning is part of society's deeply ingrained misogyny, as well as pedophilia.
Pedophilia plays a part in this because, as stated prior, a young girl's male equivalent is hardly held accountable for misbehavior. Aside from society coddling its boys and men, the prevalence of the "boy mom" exists as a factor as well. (As I speak on this, I'll try not to go off on tangents... Though, the "boy mom" is definitely an issue that needs to be discussed later on.)
As I was saying, pedophilia appears in the picture because young girls begin to believe they are "too mature" for the boys within their age range. And when these thoughts are reflected in media catered towards them (in this case, PreCure 5), they may feel seen and believe their desire of these older men is "right". HOWEVER, dreaming of an older "prince charming" and actually pursuing one makes all the difference.
These shows serve as a safe outlet for those feelings of wanting a boy to match the level of maturity you're at. And while I do think every young girl has the right to fantasize about whatever kind of "prince charming" they'd like, I don't think it's right to actively pursue older men because it's what you saw on a sparkly television show about girls fighting evil with magic. (Are we seeing my point here?)
Parents and adults who believe children can't tell the difference between what remains in their cartoons and what's appropriate in real, waking life are undermining the mind of a child. Children are not stupid. Children can come to conclusions about the media they consume. They don't necessarily need to be fed shows "sanitized" for their sake, and they don't need an adult to tell them whether their two dolls should kiss or not. (Clearly we are not talking about shows that contain mature themes like sex, drug abuse, etc. but I feel the need to say that because literacy is dead.) Toys remain toys; Television remains television. If a child cannot discern whether it's right to pursue a romantic relationship with an adult or not, the blame falls on the parent(s) and that adult for not setting boundaries with the child... Not the magical girl show they watched at 10 years old (despite what some academically stunted adults believe.)
