Hump Day Confessional: It’s So Fucking GAY. (And I love it!)
Today’s Confessional…
I enjoy yaoi anime and manga. I love watching pretty boys fumble through the entanglements of various relationships just as much as I like watching het couples do it. Hell, I’ll go out on a limb and say I enjoy it more than het couples. And now, thanks to Netflix and my irrepressible curiosity, I’ve found a new love in gay cinema. I’ve watched all of these movies in about 3 days:
Beautiful Thing
Shelter
Come Undone
Latter Days
Get Real
The Love of Siam
Summer Storm
Mysterious Skin
With the exception of Come Undone (boring) and Mysterious Skin (disturbing and heartbreaking), I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself. I used to hate all things yaoi when I first joined the IY fandom. Wanted jackshit to do with it. Now, I adore good yaoi, especially a story that’s more than pretty boys humping each other. Give me some substance and it’s on and poppin’!
So, my confession is simple: I really love yaoi, so much so, that my first original will probably be a story about gay men. I also confess that I really dislike yuri. It’s so fucking boring to me… Blech. >.<

P.S. Moni made another lovely wallpaper gift for me (Check it at the gallery). This time, it’s for “In His Eyes” and it’s pretty, as always! \o/
