and the only reason is because there is NO SEX, I'm going to have to shake somebody. REALLY? Two jaded salarymen close to forty is going to be tagged shounen ai? *Shounen* ai? Because they didn't have sex in front of your salad? Be serious now, I'm begging.

shoujo than anything else. But I have read shounen ai with sexual scenes before, although 9/10 times it's usually surrounded by sparkles and flowers and very angular kisses iykwim. Anyway my point it, if I see another child complain about manga tagging like, "oh no, this is shounen ai, not yaoi"

Shounen ai meanwhile developed somewhat differently. Literally, it means "young boys love", and is considered more a sub-genre of shoujo manga that depicts a love story between two bishounen or "beautiful boys". While shounen ai typically seems "softer", it's because its style is more close to

There used to be a time when the two were interchangeable. Originally, yaoi stands for "yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi" meaning "no climax, no punch line, no meaning". It came from doujinshi culture and was applied to derivative works from popular, typically heterosexual material (such as shounen

I need to know whose fault it is that "shounen ai" means BL with no sex and "yaoi" means it BL with sex. No??? But it's so widely used that way that people assume that's how it is.

In Tolkien's early drafts, Númenor is an industrialized maritime empire with steampunk warships. That's why I love Ted Nasmith's Temple of Melkor in a late-19th-century Armenelos - it just *feels* right. Note too the similarity with William Logsdail's 1887 painting of St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

The Temple of Melkor, by Ted Nasmith. A vast structure with stone walls and a burnished dome rises above the Númenórean capital of Armenelos. Contrary to most portrayals, Armenelos here looks like London in the late 19th or early 20th century, which is appropriate given Númenor's imperial dominance during this period. Smoke rises from the apex of the Temple; a cart wheels the dead branches of the White Tree Nimloth to be burned upon Sauron's altar. The sky is a threatening yellow-orange with dark clouds massing on the horizon.

"St. Paul's and Ludgate Hill" (1887 or thereabouts) by William Logsdail depicts ahe stately dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in London rising above a bustling Victorian street. Steam and smoke rise in clouds from the teeming crowds and steam-engines below, contributing to the smog in a bleary English sky.

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

J.R.R. Tolkien had a conservative temperament, no doubt, but his reactionary readers miss how uncompromising he is about the ultimate unrecoverability of the past. However desirable (or undesirable) it was, it is gone, and you can't force it to stay. That's what makes the Rings of Power so tempting!

2. 'The Fall of Gil-galad' carried 95% of my vision and understanding of the Second Age and I will never forgive [redacted] for ruining how people now imagine Ereinion Gil-galad, Lindon, the Second Age and what I consider the actual golden age of the Elves.

Text of The Fall of Gil-galad from The Lord of the Rings. It reads:

Gil-galad was an elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen.
His shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.
