Favorites

actually less of a collection of my favorites and more of my favorite media I want to share ! Either because I feel like they're underrated or because they explain a lot about my brain chemistry. Maybe one day I'll also add anime and movies to the list but I tend to be the most influenced by music, comics and games so that's what you'll get here for now.

= favs among the favs

music

this is a little non-exhaustive sample of songs I currently enjoy ★(╹꒳╹)b

web/indie comics
Dust'n'Dread ^KieuMonster of the week type horror webcomic, the chemistry of the two main characters is peculiar but it's really fun to see their relationship grow when confronted to all kind of horrors. The monster design is some of the best I've seen there's truly horrifying shit in there.	Breathless Garden ^{Vesta Zara}Hauntingly gorgeous art and beautiful, creative panelling, a very savant mix of erotic and horror in a way I haven't really seen before or since, Vesta in general never disappoints.	Impasto, Circadian & To Hell ^{SJ Miller} Every single short horror comic they release are just that good, I can't choose just one. Tense pacing, gut-churning body horror and hauntingly beautiful art style, they're well worth their price.
Doghaus ^Moowsie Dog comic makes me go 'haha,mood'. Really funny cast of losers, it's comedic in the way life itself is a fucking joke.	Dr. Limos Plays God ^Sneckoil Man I love when transmasc characters get to fucking suck. Really cool, sparse use of colors is to die for.	Oral Obligations ^NozmoThis one is for the true perverts. Nozmo's style is so much fun and the illustrations included are all total eyecandy. I could read 1000 pages of these two matching each other's freak.
Sakana ^{Mad Rupert}ngl this one has kind of a slow start, but once you get there it is legitimately so, so good. I busted a gut and legit was on the edge of my seat in equal parts while reading it the first time. I'm a basic bitch, I'm a Yuudai simp, he feels like he was tailor made for me, what an asshole.	14 Nights ^{Kristina Stipetic}Stuck in my head despite the fact that I read it a loooong time ago so it deserves a spot here. Peculiar art style and even more peculiar characters but it all work perfectly to tell this story. Don't think I've ever found another work that explores sex repulsion like this. You don't often get to see ugly guys freak it or have interiority and waiter I want more.	Blade of the Fane ^{Theo Stultz} Sadly so far it was only available during Shortbox's Comics Fair 2024, but there's hope of it being released again digitally in the future. Gorgeous art and really interesting worldbuilding, finally fantasy for gay people beside LOTR.
Shot and Chaser ^{E.K. Weaver} E.K. is making me care about gays in cars travelling across the US again. Ongoing and really fucking good so far, if TJ and Amal is too daunting because of the lenght I recommend you start with S&C and go back when you are caught up and want more of E.K.'s incredible character writing.	The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal ^{E.K. Weaver}Some of the best dialogue I have read. Idk what kind of masochist sets most of their comic inside a fucking car but E.K. did it and it's awesome. Also great sex scenes.	Bibi ^Pa-Luis Really cute comic that managed to get me all emotional. Sweet but not saccharine coming of age story that dips it's toes in a variety of subjects with a lot of sympathy.

manga
Fool Night ^{Kasumi Yasuda}My favorite manga atm. The sketchy, toothy art style makes me go feral, I wish I could draw like this. Very interesting premise that gives birth to really cool body-horror, more vegetal than gooey but just as horrifying. Also, really believable government lol I can see this being the dystopia we are marching towards so, not a read for when you're already in your doomer feelings.	Even if I can't use magic ^{Kii Kanna} I'm a sucker for Kii Kanna's artstyle, this one-shot is a nice way to get that eyecandy and a nice taste of her humor. Very comforting if you are a loser in your 20s. I'm trying my hardest to steal Tamaki's gender.	Blue Period ^{Yamaguchi Tsubasa}both never fails to attack me directly and make me want to create, I think it mostly speaks to creatives but if you're one there are good chance you'll get called the fuck out. One of the rare manga that was supposed to end and kept going on because of popularity where it felt totally smooth.
Doku Doku Mori Mori ^{Segawa Noboru}Super cute and gory story by a fellow trans author (fuck yea !). Sadly no official release yet but there are some english scans. The art is super charming and even if the story gets really dark at times, there are pockets of happiness to be found in this world.	Totale Eclipse of the Eternal Heart ^SyundeiI'm sorry but I'm so mad that none of the more horror oriented Syundei work have been released in french so far. Both art and story are a 10/10, the suspense get really strong at times and no one draw evil boys like Syundei does.	Boys of the Dead ^{Douji Tomita}My confession is that I love Zombie shit so this little one-shot really hits the spot for me. The art style perfectly translates the grimy, sinister ambiance of the stories and the fact it's a BL really is the cherry on top. It's dark, it's creepy, it's short and it's fun to re-read so you can spot where each story/characters cross paths.
Sleeping Dead ^{Asada Nemui}Finally some balding representation in BL. There's some good low empathy mad scientist shit in there. I wish these two would properly bone but alas. A lot of Asada Nemui's work come recommended actually.	Call ^{Asada Nemui}Another great set of characters from Asada Nemui, it really fulfills my craving for pathetic middle-aged men.	The Zombie Maria ^{Nakayama Atsushi}Peak creepy-cute goodness. Don't get fooled, the story really is grim as fuck, but it also has great dark humor.
Stigmata - Love Marks ^{Takahashi Hidebu}Ever read a thriller and thought to yourself 'man, this shit is great but I wish it was gay' ? Then this might be the manga for you. Great mystery, cool premise, interesting art style and a white-haired twink, what more can you ask for ?	Goodnight Punpun ^{Inio Asano}Doesn't really need an introduction. Read it at 14 and it nearly drove me to become a doomer so. Be cautious. But it's a classic for a reason !	My Broken Mariko ^{Waka Hirako}Waka Hirako's ability to both draw really beautiful, semi-realistic stuff and the scribbliest, most gut wrenching (or busting) scribbles is just incredible. Great exploration of what it means to be left behind, while also being stuck in this shit system, cathartic as fuck.
Double House ^{Haruno Nanae}Old-school josei with a mtf main character ! Really lovely art style and cool exploration or queer dynamics in japan. I love women !!	Ran and the Gray World ^{Aki Irie}Probably some of the most gorgeous art on this side of the globe. The characters are all so endearing, a great coming of age story with cool worldbuilding and so many hot, hot MILFS. I love women.	Neko wo hirotta hanashi ^{Atarou Terada}Finally a cat gag manga for us horror fans. I honestly love this weird ass cat thing and I love the fact the MC kind of goes with it. No updates in the unofficial translation in a while tho, I miss this manga :(
Nora to Zassō/Mauvaise Herbe ^{Keigo Shinzo}Do you want to get fucking punched in the guts ? Do you have daddy issues ? Do you like to feed strays ? Congratulation, I guess you are me, you'll enjoy this one but you'll also fucking cry. Life is unfair. The cat survives btw

Books
Serious Weakness ^{Porpentine Charity Heartscape}A total slap to the face, really reconfigurated my brain and made me rethink about how much I should or shouldn't conform to what society decided was the norm, and all that because of a story about an autistic loser getting abducted and tortured. I don't read a lot of books without pictures but I read this 600 pages brick TWICE. I love violence.	Torture Works ^{Porpentine Charity Heartscape}An anthology of Porpentine shorter stories. A few of my favorites are actually available to read on their website so you can start here if you're not sure this book is for you ! If you dig the cover and the title speaks to you, there are great chance that it is though.	Low Kill Shelter ^{Porpentine Charity Heartscape}A certified banger for all the rabid dog boy enthusiasts out there.
Objects of Affection ^{Taylor Titmouse}Finally an actually interesting exploration of androids and womanhood as a commodity, through the lenses of perverts, because who else would get one ? Hot but I'm shaking my head reading it. The two nerds from the first story need to fuck also.	Passing Place ^{R/L Monroe}Great short trans story, some of the best imagery and description I've got to read, and it got mechanophilia !! How novel for my usual repertoire
