Lina is someone I cite when asked about fave female characters that I also ship.

The line is funny. A sarcastic kind of funny.

[(Anonymous)]

This is really cute! I love myself my collateral damage protags, and these characters look like a lot of fun! <33

[(Anonymous)]

Is Lina really a "heroic" protagonist though?

Anyways, I don't care about how much collateral damage heroic protagonists cause in my fun action-adventure fiction. I don't have to. It's an Acceptable Break From Reality. You don't need to weep for the hypothetical masses of dead people in a fictional work.

What's that, op? I should watch next/the ovas again? Don't mind if I do

May I recommend Nirvana in Fire?
There is a tiny bit of focus on romance in the beginning (but that has other reasons), but it practically vanishes after the first arc (which it isn't the focus of, just a side plot).
I don't like romance and it's one of my most favorite shows.

[(Anonymous)]

This is sorta the reason why I can't do Asian dramas despite being Asian. LOL Majority of the shows are romance heavy or just really soapy which can feel redundant to me.

[(Anonymous)]

May I recommend The Lost Tomb/Ultimate Note/Sound of Providence series?

Lots of tomb-raiding shenanigans, found family, weird dips into historical politics and intrigue, humour...

I haven't seen Ultimate Note, yet, but in general the central relationships are platonic (and v. sweet).

[(Anonymous)]

No, we can't.
You could try censored BL, they usually have friendships. Lang Ya Bang for example.

[(Anonymous)]

May I suggest:

The Longest Day In Changan
Six Flying Dragons - a kdrama but very complex and plotty.

[(Anonymous)]

i have no idea if it's subbed, but zhen huan zhuan is absolutely amazing.

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoyed Pili Fantasy: War of Dragons, which does have romance, but among quite a few other plot lines and the only serious bit of it is near the end of the season

I can't recommend it without that caveat that while the puppetry is extremely skilled (some aspects of making the characters move are actually fairly similar to muppetry) they are near-static doll faces, not fuzzy and expressive in the face.

(The puppeteers are skilled enough to have made a character in another show vibrate in rage at proper puppet scale but also sometimes they'll just throw the whole thing if that's what gets the shot)

My usual point of comparison is Tales of Hearts. The het ship is arguably the core of the game, but “I love you” are the very last words spoken, because it’s all about implication and the unstated up until then. I think it’s a very well-implemented ship despite how subdued it is, and I think you could probably do a really good gay ship in the same way while still appeasing most censors.

I'm sure there are decent betas out there, but most of the ones I run across just want to read the fic early and get credit without actually contributing anything.

Eh. Let them have fun. We all start out somewhere, even in fic. It definitely doesn't sound worth jeopardizing your friendship over.

Besides, tropes played straight can be fun if you're in the mood for it. :)

How Are We Doing?

[(Anonymous)]

I've completely screwed up my sleeping schedule and have been sleeping between 3-5 hours a night since April of last year. Some days its not so bad but other days it's becoming clear that my sleep deprivation is playing into the bad mental health; which is also not good.
