There's definitely that element in many Japanese BLs. Especially any school BLs that are based on mangas. They do have the more mature variety, My Personal Weatherman, My Beautiful Man (though early parts of the first season might feel like it), Our Dining Table (this is one of my favorites of 2023,, in some ways it might be more up your alley Pagey).
They do have some sorta western style stuff there. As I learned over-and-over again watching My School President. "Texas Chicken" apparently made it all possible.
I was very close to going, but I had a feeling I'd get a drink in me and spend the entire evening ruining everyone else's good time while I snored loudly on the sofa.
Hey, if I was living it up, retired in Chiang Mai, with a cute Thai guy on my arm, it would be a different story.
I had a very stressful week at work, followed by that weird sleep study, and I just wanted to stay home and do nothing for a day.
I've consumed no alcohol tonight.
I was invited to a party with my friends, but after last nights adventure and being awake since before dawn, I just wasn't feeling it today.
This is how you can tell I'm in my forties, Drewdo.
You should definitely do that. Clo tells me though, nobody in France wears berets anymore! I was all set for a French vacation, a bottle of wine, a baguette, a bunch of fancy cheeses I can't pronounce the names of... all while wearing a stylish beret. She said no!
Actually did a sleep study last night, so I went to bed at the center a little earlier than usual. I actually managed to stay in the bed the entire study, so that was something. It ended at like 5am, so I've been awake ever since I left the center.
Oh it's going to take awhile to convince me otherwise. You gave me all the "legal" ammo I needed.
If only you hadn't claimed like every member of ever K boyband group in like 2018...
Oh God, it's totally official now...
Happy Dirty 30, Drewbear.

I'm dying on this hill, you love South Korean boys so much, you have to follow their number scheme.
