 Animanga etc tuber: Tyranno - Analysis and reviews of new anime. Along with them, Mother's Basement have sensibilities towards certain topics in animanga that I appreciate. Both are willing to check out BL/GL shows on top of all the other stuff out there and give them a fair chance.

  “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea- did she just win.- This is so fun and now I really want an extended manga or comic like this

 "Sentient robot series I’ve watched and will watch" - "Sentient robot series is a guilty pleasure of mine and I’ve watched a few here and there, so I figured I would give my two cents on the matter."

  Stranger Things Failed A Long Time Ago

 Guardian TV cliches

 castle-nim - "Most manwha use 3D assets from an asset library. One such asset is Castle Nim - a 3D castle that shows up in many different series." Isn't there also a horse asset that people use that's really unrealistic looking as well?

 Booktuber: Gavin Reads It All & Gavin Reads All the Manga - Most of his videos are really long so if you like putting stuff on in the background it's a a great choice. He's a fun guy who reads different genres (he has a lot of fantasy books though)! He does a lot of sprints and challenges which are fun. Also, his cats are glued to his side a lot which is adorbs.

 Talk To Me In Korean - Korean language learning and culture videos.

 Honkai Star Rail Gifs - Owner makes HSR gifs and puts them in a sorted Google Drive.

 why we’re all escaping to fantasy & the middle ages again - I learned some things! Especially about Renfaires!

  Why Audiobooks Feel Different From Reading - Interesting scientific fact about how we take in books vs audio in here and how voices, font etc influence what we get from it.

 Boys Love: Thailand's BL Revolution - I don't know how to feel about some of the things said here but it was interesting to hear the Thai perspective, especially from the producers.

KK-chan is a Girl! - I found her recently and now she's my favorite mangatuber, seeing all the goodies and manga etcis a delight. She reads across the board, maybe mostly BL and shoujo.

Rec-Cember - Post recs in December and tag them! More info in sticky there. You can post to your own journal or the community.

Do you know "Pomegaverse"!?🐶

State of Thai GL - November 2025

The Gay Couple Shonen Jump Suppressed - SKET Dance is one of those manga I saw start publishing and just never got around to reading. I don't know if having this knowledge now is better or worse but I still plan on reading it.

Atelier B/W - Free illustrations in various categories. Menu at top left: Food, Drink, Misc, Animals, Plants, Other. Rules: no commercial use, redistribution, hot linking, otherwise you're good (changing color/size, use on social media/site etc)

The Charismatic Voice - A delightful ex-Opera singer who analyzes music.

the size difference ship (twitter) - Is that why artists do this? I like size differences, height doesn't necessarily matter but it's not necessary in my ships.

Shonen Romance Has Changed - 👌 (The con portion where people were asked what's a shoujo hurt my soul. Shoujo is not 'any anime containing romance'!!!)

sibling. coding. doesn’t. exist. - I think they're coming from K-Pop Demon Hunters fandom but it's so accurate. People will use any reason to call something incest including 'they're sibling-coded!'.

The Politics of One Piece - So well done, it really lays it out!!

Let's make you a bingo card! - Another bingo card maker though more tailored to writing/art challenges.

 BL FAN EDITS @ Youtube - BL drama recs and reviews. Channel owner takes a more personal structure by using their own voice and talking about their personal views etc which is always fun. Some videos are members-only.

M/M/M book that changed your mind about M/M/M books - It's been a long time since I've read an M/M/M book, it's interesting to see what's popular now!

Is WEDNESDAY a good ADDAMS FAMILY story?? - Such a thorough video, I really felt like I had a good understanding by the end!

"the insane experience of missing a fictional character [...]" - "in this way fanworks are like necromancy"

Bingo Board Renderer - Can also be used to rec things, like themed manga or books.

avis03's romance book recs - Lots of queer, kinky and polyam stuff! (Also an author/artist blacklist on the personal links post if you want to avoid AI, assholes etc).
