Now, this doesn't mean I think these guys are utterly stupid per se, but there's for sure an endearing level of puppy Himbo energy in each of them haha

What other Himbo characters do you guys like?

It's declared, r/BoysLoveAnime has crowned Xie Lian as the victor! Befitting for the Taizi Dianxia. Placements in next slide, Seme placements in third slide for comparison.

It was great to see what the people thought of our blessed bottoms, it seemed a lot harder to choose who to eliminate than the Seme game.

So, do the results surprise you? Any unexpected placements? Perhaps compared to the Seme game?

I probably won't do another one of these games, though I thought of a ship elimination game where I would add Victuuri, Yoshikaru, Asheiji, Nakahiro etc. but if it does happen it won't be for a while.

And thank you to everyone who commented and engaged with my posts, I appreciate you all for entertaining me in these fun little games haha

And again, before the month ends, Happy Pride!

Place your bets in for who you think is gonna win!

Touya and Makoto ARE mlm I will not be hearing otherwise. And also pls play 13 sentinels aegis rim there are gays in it.

And there we have it, you have declared Kwon Haebeom as your victor!

In retrospect, perhaps the game was a bit imbalanced from the start, considering how half the roster were generally disliked and the other half were universally beloved. I also initially considered having four rows and six other semes into the game, but I didn't want it to drag for too long, though now I'm realizing how small the roster.

Interesting how much of the conversation revolved around whether the Semes were green flags, whilst I hypothesize that wouldn't be the case with an Uke elimination. It goes to show how Semes are generally written in BL's and how that impacts what's on our minds when we regard them.

Did anything else surprise you about the placements?

But anyways, thank you so much to everyone who played! I appreciate you entertaining me haha

In a shock turn of events, Kurosawa has been eliminated! To say I'm surprised would be an utter understatement, but the top upvoted comment indeed voted for Kurosawa.

You now have your top 4. Comment your least favourite remaining Seme, the single top upvoted comment gets eliminated.

Farewell, Yohan. Now we’re in the top 5! Comment your least favourite remaining Seme, the single top upvoted comment gets eliminated.
