a.) Please write your top 3 or top 5 favorite tropes in BL. From each trope, write at least 3 BL that you love.

b.) Who are your top 5 (or top 3) favorite top & bottom characters from any BL media (can be manga/manhwa/danmei/manhua)? The top and bottom don't have to be from the same BL...

Thanks if you want to answer ... 🤩

Hi!! Thank you for the ask! This one was pretty tough! As you'll see, I opted for five rather than three because I need as many choices as possible. Still, it seems no matter what, I'm forced to leave off BLs and characters that I love because there are so many good ones. No danmei to list at this time as I am only recently starting my danmei journey.

Part 1: BL Tropes

Idiots Falling in Love: It’s best when the characters share one brain cell between them but I will gladly accept one lovable himbo paired with a more intelligent and reserved character.

Red Thread Quest by soop2rang - Unsleep by Hyeonoe - Ask and You Will Receive by Niyama - Paws & Claws by Ilju/Duhaem/Marin Code - Scent and Sensibility by Lily

Forbidden/Tragic Love: I tend to enjoy this trope within a historical setting the most since I find that the angst hits a lot harder. Bonus points if there is a revenge plot.

Painter of the Night by Byeonduck - Steel Under Silk by snob - Coyote by Ranmaru Zariya - The Ghost's Nocturne by ANANAS/C.R Jade - Toxin by Doroh/Nunnu/Mechanist

Something Strange is Going On! Supernatural/Otherworldly: Pair this with lots of banter and/or comedic moments and I'm sold. Bonus points if there is an investigation/mystery aspect.

It's Just a Dream...Right?! by White Eared - Love in Orbit by LattePanda - Dreadful Night by moan - Love at First Fright by nangjun/duzza/kouzaki palace - Dreaming of the Dokkaebi by LAPIS

Forced Proximity via Neighbors/Roommates: I have no real preferences for this one. I enjoy a lot of different dynamics here.

The Metalhead Next Door by Mamita - Our Sunny Days by Jeong Seokchan - Can't Think Straight by PANGIN/Hudadak - Virtual Strangers by ANGELA/B_jak/HoneyTrap - How to Deal When Your Intimidating Neighbor is Actually an Omega by Nikuya Inui

Age Gap: Lately I've been especially enjoying the Younger Top x Older Bottom dynamic just because I think this pairing is very cute. It's in three out of my five picks.

A First of Summers by Pppanghouse - My Sadistic Master by Seo byeol/Haseo - 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 by Mamita - Gig of the Day by Danbi - Koi ga Ochitara by Ueda Aki

Researchers at Stockholm University have succeeded in creating a molecular blueprint of how one of the world's most dangerous toxins, botulinum toxin, is structured, stabilized, delivered and released. The research, published in Science Advances, paves the way for more effective drugs. Botulinum toxin is the strongest poison known to man—a million times more toxic than that found in cobra venom. The toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The toxin causes the serious illness botulism. However, the toxin also has many medical uses, for treating chronic migraine, muscle spasms and severe sweating, as well as for cosmetic purposes.

I'm sorry but I much prefer reading about red flags who remain red flags even in their love, or are even made worse by that love they feel for the main character. I love them even more when they are black flags. Love doesn't intrigue me if it doesn't possess a little madness, a little darkness. It's even better when it's something rotten, twisted, insidious, sinister disguised as love.

I'm not sure where this page is from, but just yesterday I was thinking: what if symbiotes actually carried the little hostless baby symbies in their mouths the same way crocodiles and alligators carry their babies?
