Baby is a Chaos Muffin in BL
A while ago tsukiyadori asked about characters like Aoki (My Love Mix-Up) & Zon (Why R U?). These are characters whose bisexual identity crisis becomes EVERYONE’S problem. Much more common in uke, but there are a few seme out there too. Ryu/Ryoma from Love Stage!! definitely qualifies. Especially Ryoma.
In fact, there are a TON of these from Japan. This archetype is real common in manga because the emotional extremes and companion klutzy slapstick behavior is fun to draw. Also there’s a prevailing Japanese inclination to find this not so much awkward as cute. Or maybe it’s just that awkward = cute.
The Chaos Muffins of BL
JAPAN
Mob in A Man Who Defies the World of BL 1 & 2. Takes on chaos as a religion.
Adachi in Cherry Magic, everyone’s favorite chaotic mind reader. Actually knows what people are thinking, still freaks out about it. Also Tsuge, SO BONKERS his boyfriend calls him out on it.
Ozaki is Same Difference, chaos wears a suit.
Aoki in My Love Mix Up, drama queen of the memes, ruler of chaos nation.
Amagi in Takara & Amagi, world’s cutest tiny typhoon of chaos.
Minato in Minato’s Laundromat, chaos should know better.
Ryoma in Love Stage!! the seme side of chaos.
Haruta in Ossan’s Love. Probubly responsible for mapping chaos nation.
Hira in My Beautiful Man, chaos comes in stalker & awkward to match all your wardrobe needs.
THAILAND
JackKoh KohJack in Gen Y 2.
Can in LBC 1 & 2.
Ryo in Love Stage!! (not as much as the original). Also Thee + his buddies.
Zon in Why R U?
The entire cast of Secret Crush On You, except Intouch.
And, similarly, everyone but Pun in YYY.
The emotional support queers in Tonhon Chonlatee.
Love in Great Men Academy might qualify. But I always hesitate to call this one BL. Also the neighbor phis in TharnType 1 & 2 whose names I can never remember. And whoever wrote The Tuxedo.
KOREA
Korean chaos monkeys are so tame as to hardly compare but maybe:
YeonSeok of First Love Again
SangHa of Mr. Heart
SeolWon of Oh! Boarding House
TAIWAN
Taiwan similarly few, possibly Zhao in HIStory 3: Trapped, and LiCheng in HIStory 4. Also the premier himbo chaos bi from H3 the BL that shall not be named.
CHINA
LuLin in My Esports Genius Brother is a total chaos muffin, but not in exactly the same way as others because aggressive autonomous uke and also… China, but still worth a mention. It’s an extremely strange but oddly appealing show, mostly because of this character. So if you really like this archetype, you might give it a try.
XiaoYu from River Knows Fish Heart reps for China’s seme version of this variant.
Honorable mention to Tay Tawan, IRL chaos muffin.
