Wingless and Spiteful

I always enjoyed BL stories, also known as yaois. I enjoy stories where the characters end up falling in love after getting to know each other.

That said, when I was younger, a teenager in the early 2000s, I would read stories where the « romance » part was… A bit questionnable.

AKA : lots of assault.

And I KNOW that it’s the appeal of those stories for some readers, but I never enjoyed it. If my partner was to attack me in order to make me fall in love with him, I’d probably make sure we’re BOTH in a lot of pain by the end of it. And then, I’d leave his sorry ass after beating the hell out of him with a crowbar.

The thing is, I’m fully aware of the fact that many, MANY, many readers adore those stories. And that’s ok with me. It’s fiction, and I doubt any of those readers would ever try to act up on those fantasies. Or at least, I HOPE they wouldn’t.

I like BL stories. They were part of the things that made me realize I wasn’t cis. I already knew I wasn’t straight. But it took me a bit longer to realize I wasn’t cis. I’m nonbinary, and I’m not ashamed to say it.

In fact, I rarely draw straight romances ever. I’m more comfortable drawing LGBTQ people enjoying their love life.

About this piece: I promised there would be more adult romances on this website. And since I want to draw something more explicit, I already have the story and the characters ready. I’ve also been working on a light novel in English. Unfortunately, I’m NOT a native English speaker, and, as such, I’m still trying to make sure my story doesn’t come off in a wrong way.

Bisous and bonne lecture !
