As of end of 2022 the oldest still active pairs are...
KarnNat (origin Grey Rainbow, latest Dear Doctor) - they cobrand only when they have a show and don’t feed shippers, CURRENT MONARCHS*
BoomPeak (origin Make It Right, latest 7 Project) - they don’t actively cobrand and never feed shippers
MaxTul (origin Bad Romance, latest Manner of Death) - champions (and origin) of Thai BL IRL ships
OffGun (origin Puppy Honey, latest Not Me) - announced Cooking Crush for 2023
TayNew (origin Kiss, latest Dark Blue Kiss) - announced Cherry Magic for 2023
All these pairs started in 2016, some of them as side couples. I consider the oldest established pair to have completed a recent BL the reigning Kings, as of typing in Dec 2022 that’s KarnNat.

i just remembered that i can in fact post Old Art so here is an album cover project from last semester
Details below!
This was the second project of my Illustration Intensive I class last semester, and we had to either design or redesign an album cover, so I chose The Mechanisms
During the project I took a 4-hour detour trying to translate the Red Signal chant into norse runes, aka I threw it through a translator and tried (emphasis on tried) via wikipedia to fix any Weirdness despite knowing next to nothing about runes so its probably. Incredibly wrong lol

the problem with Seven's deadnaming (whether on the shows, or the novels, or in fic) is that it definitely IS deadnaming because it's not her name, she canonically, on two different shows, hates being called anything other than Seven or Seven of Nine, and at worst she says nothing about it if she has no recourse. The unfortunate fact of the matter though is that literally everyone knows about “Annika Hansen” because it was on the file related to her and her parents' disappearence, and it could've been interesting commentary on how having been part of the news/having publications/being credited for their work publicly makes it difficult for a lot of trans people to escape being outed and/or deadnamed. And yet the shows still keep being weirdly ambiguous about what Seven's deadname represents! We got Janeway trying to 'appeal to her humanity' by deadnaming her, Axum being grumpy that the person she is now is not the dream projection of a little girl anymore (more deadnaming), a Borg cube deadnaming her in front of Elnor (??), and an asshole who clung so hard to his status as veteran of Wolf 359 that he couldn't help but deadname his own first officer at every turn. It's like, I'm not surprised to learn that fic writers are unrepentant when doing the same thing to Seven because canon is weirdly fond of this crap as well!

Headcanon that once Hugo got a bunch of period products to give to Nuru for the journey to be supportive but he didn't know Nuru's trans. So he holds out the pads and Nuru looks and them and slowly opens her mouth but before she can say anything Varian swoops by and just yoinks the pads like "THANKS I NEEDED THESE"

bl trope du jour
peeling shrimp
aka peeling prawns or unwrapping shrimp (innuendo intended)
This one belongs to Thailand & The Philippines.
Above pictured:
Seven Project
Love By Chance (possibly the origin of this one for Thai BL)
Paint With Love
Secret Crush on You
Cupid’s Last Wish
My Day the series
Unforgotten Night
Final image is how they peel prawns in Thailand. Having done them this way myself, I can say with confidence it is the most effective way to peel a cooked shrimp (without using your fingers) that I have ever encountered. Very elegant and little loss of meat. 10/10 would recommend learning. LIFE SKILL.

(Between Us)
Never Let Me Go as a whole scene about this trope:
And they revisited it in their installment of Our Skyy 2.
Bonus the GL version in Bad Buddy.
Bad Buddy plays this again in their Our Skyy 2 instalments.

Finally posting this AU here;
It’s 1 year anniversary of this AU!!
CW: This au contains general dark themes, brainwashing, non-consensual body modification, violence, machine gore, etc. please read at your own risk!
This is my rw au(Project Triple Affirmation), it takes place in a setting where the Ancients are still alive. One day, Looks to the Moon announces that she has found the Triple Affirmative—the answer to the Great Problem: to eliminate death by uploading all consciousnesses to a virtual reality, for without death, there is no rebirth, thereby breaking the cycle. She sees herself as the savior of everything, granting an ethereal eternity.
To put it into simpler words: Moon with her local group killing everything and uploading their victim’s consciousness to FP’s processor(a virtual reality).
While Moon claims that her plan “Solves” the Great Problem, her real agenda is far more radical: she wants to play god. To create a new world in her vision.
There’s still a lot more lore in this au, I’ll slowly get to them in my later posts.
