We all know all the MLQC guys radiate BDE (big dick energy lmao). Ranked from the otome games you played, top 5 BIGGEST BDE? LOL
First of all, a giant thank you to @lin-ful! 💖 I know I can always count on you to ask the really important questions in life 🙌🏼🤣This somehow turned out to be a lot longer than I intended, but I guess that’s what happens when the thirst is real LOL.
To start, let’s delve into an exploration of what Big Dick Energy (BDE) actually is. According to an article in Vox*, BDE is “the self-confidence to know that a colossal endowment isn’t a measurement of one’s value…(it may) stem from having a literal BD, but it’s not dependent upon any sort of genitalia. And in fact, perhaps the epitome of BDE is the complete security of not needing other people’s benchmarks — wealth, intelligence, beauty, or a BD — to know one’s own worth. Any suspicion of try hard vibes kills BDE, as does the kind of cockiness that speaks of insecurity: the true BDE-haver is respectful to those around them, but with swagger….”
That being said, here are my top 5 picks for the biggest radiators of BDE, in no particular order (please take this with a grain of salt, seeing as I’m really only playing four otome games at the moment LOL):

OTONYMOUS’ BIG DICK ENERGY LIST 🍆
1. Oda Nobunaga (Ikemen Sengoku)
It doesn’t matter whose route I'm playing, as soon as Nobubu hits the screen, a bitch is weak, and as unscientific as it is, that physical reaction is one of the ways by which I assess BDE. I mean, just look at this face:
This is the face of one who exudes confidence, a man who finds himself in life-threatening situations and has the gall to laugh because he sees them as opportunities to dispose of yet another obstacle in the way of realizing Tenka Fubu — unification by force of arms. Call him the “Fool of Owari” all you want, he truly believes he will have the last laugh.
Strong with a sword but stronger in mind, Nobunaga is actually the smartest character in the game, outranking even Mitsuhide imho in being able to keep two steps ahead of everyone else. That’s why this guy remains cool as a cucumber even when Hideyoshi is losing his shit and everyone is weary of his left-hand man plotting some nefarious scheme. Nobu is an impeccable judge of character. He has confidence in his ability to find the diamonds in the rough and this, in turn, earns him the loyalty of others.
Plus, y’all can’t tell me you weren’t biting your lips when he basically worked out the mechanics of wormholes in his head when MC told him she came from the future.
2. Akechi Mitsuhide (Ikemen Sengoku) - *SPOILERS*
This bad boy of Azuchi has BDE for days in that he gives zero fucks about what anyone thinks of him, friend or foe — be it about his intentions or his humble origins, both of which others have tried to use against him. But the sexiest thing about Mitsuhide is the fact that he isn’t a blind follower. This man thinks for himself and is loyal to his own ideals, not any given head of a clan, per se.
BDE also abounds in the way he carries himself: this guy is the ultimate Slick Rick in how he can mess you up in the worst of ways without even drawing his sword (or loading his rifle). This kitsune is adept at verbal runarounds and capable of snuffing out uprisings with humiliation alone.
3. Lucien (MLQC) - *SPOILERS*
Now I know you're gonna think I’m biased here, but I’m being completely real when I tell you that Lucien exudes not just BDE, but GARGANTUAN DICK ENERGY. I’ve been a hot mess for this man ever since he kabedoned me in his office and whispered “trust your instincts” in my ear. But don’t take my word for it, just ask Hades. This man is so desperate to align himself with Ares that one couldn’t help but feel secondhand embarrassment on his behalf during this little exchange:
Lucien is brilliant and he knows it. Highly intelligent, self-aware and powerful, he likely has faith in his self-sufficiency when it comes to carrying out his plans. At the same time, he is very subtle about his abilities except when that confidence comes out like the crack of a whip to exert his will on those who would deter him, whether they’re the Black Swan minions sent to capture MC or the mysterious head honcho who injures his eye as punishment:
This comes after Ares has the chutzpah to chastise the man for being hasty. And he even smiles while being blinded. Clearly, this is a man for whom the usual fear tactics fail. The only thing he fears is losing his girl. And if that isn’t an example of colossal dick energy, I don’t know what is. 🤷🏻♀️
4. Luke Foster (Kissed By The Baddest Bidder)
Ok, ok, just hear me out on this one. The source of Luke Foster’s BDE stems from the fact that he literally doesn’t give a fuck about what people think about him aside from his MC. Others could call him every name under the sun, poke fun at his unusual ways, and it would just be in one ear and out the other for the good doctor. There have been several instances where he’s walked away from Eisuke mid-lecture, and he is the only bidder that I know of who can get Eisuke to do his bidding (haha!). Case in point:
5. Le Comte de Saint-Germaine (Ikemen Vampire)
Am I still stuck on my second route in IkeVamp? Yes.
Do I know much about le Comte as a character? No.
Do I still have an intense need for this beautiful, classy man to radiate that BDE? HELL YES.
So please…please…just let me have this one. 🙏🏻😆
