A drabble that could fit many a fandom

A drabble for emthornhill, just because...
You could pitch it for just about any fandom really.

Another Saiyuki drabble

I wrote a Hakkai drabble, a real Hakkai drabble. How bizarre. But it’s in reply to the Hazel one earlier.

I meant to address the business of it not at all being just a simple conflict, rather that it’s nothing to do with the trappings of Catholicism versus Buddhism but rather due to the very balance of things, the way in which the cycle works and how it shouldn’t be messed with by either side. Though I suppose I could always come back to that at a later date.

White Day drabble! (multi-fandom)

I know it’s technically tomorrow that’s what I like to think of as 'chick appreciation day' though I’m flexible about who needs appreciating anyway. Even though it’s only acknowledged in Japan.
And I’m putting this up now because it’s already White Day in Burma so I've decided it counts!

Character designs and stereotypes

For comparison Meine Liebe and Saiyuki Reload Gunlock.

So, there are general character design stereotypes that you always come across, things that help to contribute to the justification of who gets to be Seme and who gets to be uke mostly.
Seikimatsu Darling aside, generally as the set rules go the uke gets to be distinctly shorter than the Seme. I suspect that this is half the reason for those height charts you get for every series. But even if the height issue isn’t so pronounced in doujinshi at least, it’ll get fudged just so that it looks right which is fair enough because at the end of the day it looks a bit funny if you’re trying to draw two characters of exactly the same height.
After the generic height difference, there’s also age. Where the Seme is usually older and therefore more experienced than the uke. Though this isn’t really a hard and fast rule at all. Take CLAMP’s Wish for example, Hisui is decidedly shorter and more delicate than his partner but he’s also quite a bit older and really rather powerful. You might also use Matsushita Yoko’s Yami no Matsuei as another example because Tzusuki Asato seems to be decidedly older than most other members of the Shoka Division, no matter how childish he might appear to be.


Once we get beyond the basics of height and age, and ignoring for the moment the inequalities caused by rank and station we get on to other basic physical details. Particularly face-wise and this is where my key series for comparison come into the analysis.
