And I'm saying that @abstractelysium and @somethingsomething-else tagged me through gif summoning 😂. Sannin Fufu lovers unite!

Prompt: Post 6 (and only 6) gifs/pics of the QLs you personally consider essential viewing for fans of the genre—emphasis on “personally.” These are your feels, so no need to pick series you don’t like just because they seem ’important.’ Feel free to explain your choices or not.

I've seen SOOO many amazing lists for this one over the past several weeks. All of the classics and genre staples. Lists by country. Lists by historical significance. Lists by subgenre. List by favorites. It feels like no matter what I say, I'll be repeating somebody. So...just going with what comes to mind.

Essential #1: Horny with Power Dynamics

I know that everyone is shocked that I listed My Personal Weatherman as essential. That's heavy sarcasm if you are new to this blog. No denying - horny and power dynamics are two prominent aspects in a lot of QL, and this show has it in spades. To borrow a phrase from Kat @dramalove247, it's all my favorite flavors of dopamine sprinkles wrapped up in one show.

Essential #2: Intentional Visuals and Music

I could easily use a lot of different shows for this essential, but this is the one I'm going with today. The Eighth Sense is art to me. I do enjoy the writing/characters. But it also adds in so much through visual storytelling and supports that with music as well. Many QLs express a ton through visuals and soundtracks. We regularly talk about the clothes, the color coding and blinding lights for a reason.

Essential #3: Growing Into Our Identities

Figuring life out is hard. Whether it's figuring out the intricacies of social dynamics, our own sexual desires, or just...who we want to be, QL has us covered. There's something for us all here, and probably at least one character that struggled with it. I typically identify myself as Ida from Keita Hatsukoi, but both Ida and Aoki's journey are good for this one. Both figuring out their identitites and desires. Plus, this covers the "school setting" and friend groups that's pretty essential for QL too.

Essential #4: Longing, Angst and Hurt

I'm an angst monster. QL series do a fabulous job of hurting my beloveds so that I get cathartic release. I've said it before, I don't cry a lot in real life. But shows? I love a good cry induced by fiction. Please let me cry my stress away. I also love my chaos gremlins like Ai Di. I don't care that much about the show itself, but Ai Di is essential to know.

Essential #5: Comfort and Chosen Family

QL may hurt our beloveds, but it's pretty great at using all the tropes to cover the healing aspect too. Reminding us to take care of ourselves and others. Recognizing that blood ties are not the only type of family. I debated a lot on this one. There are soooo many great options, and which one is the ultimate comfort crack will differ by person. Coming off of a month where I began to fray at the edges and suffered some work burnout, a Perfect Propose rewatch is likely in the works. I always feel like it helps me recalibrate and reflect on my priorities. This covers a bit of our "workplace setting" as well.

Essential #6: Representation

Ok, if I was picking strictly for poly, then I would choose Sannin Fufu. But we're down to our last slot, and we haven't covered sooo many aspects of QL. 3 Will Be Free has some rep level for poly, trans, poverty, and gritty storytelling wrapped up in one. It's also Thai which is not represented yet on my list 🫣. Bonus, it can serve as your introduction into QL controversies and discourse 😂. That's pretty essential too.

And that's six. It still leaves out some key types of rep and a whole lot of shows I consider essential 😂, but it's the best I have at the moment.

I follow Millenium Pro Wrestling (MPW) on YouTube mostly to check out the latest Maximilien Monclair matches. He is currently their Champ. (Maybe it should be called "Maximilien Pro Wrestling.")

I got chills when I saw that MPW had recently tossed Max's sexy ass in the ring against big bald daddy, Royce Isaacs. I was like "Ohmygod, Ohmygod, Ohmygod!"

I figured Royce would rip poor Max apart (which I was pretty much drooling for), but actually the Champ fought rough and managed to dominate Isaacs, a Good Guy who obeys the rulebook like an idiot.

Tons of great visuals in this one as both sweaty studs show off their impressive physiques. We get some enticing bulge and ass views too as you can tell from some of my GIFs.

MPW Bushido from 3/15/2026 is available on YouTube.
