So I came back, and even with new acquisitions. Among other things, and, I think, few people are interested here, I brought several volumes of American licenses, I think I will make reviews in the future.
While I was resting, our "wonderful" State Duma did not even think to follow my example, in total we have a law banning the promotion of homosexuality, now throughout Russia. The reaction is unequivocal:: facepalm: Regarding my opinion on him: I do not think that this bill will greatly affect the Internet community, so I am not going to fence this blog anally, this is not why I started it. But with the publication of printed yaoi in Russian, I think difficulties are possible. Well, at least you can still import it without hindrance.
Actually, everything is offtopic. And today I wrote a kind of playful theorist:

About modern uke types.

It happens that from time to time on ru-Internet you come across an opinion in the style: “why does the author of the slash write his bottoms like that? Looks like yaoi has eaten my whole brain. " This always causes me some bewilderment and understanding that the authors of such inferences with yaoi are familiar only very superficially and at the level of stereotypes, among which ukye = projected female character is one of the most common. And I can't say that this opinion is so unfounded, such an uke-type certainly exists and for some time was even very prevailing, but fortunately, it does not correspond to real reality. Now there is an overdof of various types and subspecies of bottoms, for example, I can distinguish the following:

Of course, already mentioned uke-delicate flower... He blushes and turns pale, suffers from his seemingly unrequited feelings and type "resists" in sex scenes ("no, no, oh, yes, more!").
Concerning phenotype: most often big-eyed and small.
Often paired: with cool seme - the first guy in the village.

Diametral option: uke-slut... This sex loves and he does not care with whom, where and when, he has many sex partners, but he has no beloved, but this is while he met seme ...
Phenotype: again, big-eyed and fragile, but with a depraved grin;))
Often paired: Seme is a classic loser, less often Seme is the first guy in the village.

- uke-nerd. He doesn't give a damn about relationships, the main thing is to study, study and study again and enter the coolest university (for a Sarariman: work, work and work again and exceed all the indicators), but now he meets seme ...
Phenotype: glasses and bangs, 99% - brunettes.
Often paired: with seme-gouging.

- uke sociopath. He does not understand how relations between people are built, although it is possible that once attempts to become his own for others were accepted, but they did not appreciate the efforts and uke finally scored on society. But this lone wolf collides with the seme.
Phenotype: very different; can be a fatal handsome man, and a nerd with a haircut on a ruler.
Often paired: with seme-clown or seme-the first guy in the village.

- ukyo princess. An eternal star that illuminates everyone around with its light; everyone admires him, loves and wants, but he does not need anyone, he is only pleased with universal adoration. But then a seme appears, who doesn't give a damn about him ... At least it happens the other way around: an absolutely sucks from the point of view of uke appears, which very actively and stupidly begins to achieve it.
Phenotype: handsome, what else to say, except that optional crossdressing is possible.
Often paired: earlier in 99% it was the seme-the first guy in the village, now more often the seme-a classic loser or seme-dolt.

- uke-brutal. A product of the past bar fashion. Uke is 100% natural, powerful, hairy and smelly. But then he meets a strange guy who seems to want something from him, but you don't understand why ...
Phenotype: if not rocking, then at least broad in the shoulders and high.
Often paired: with seme-mister insidiousness.

- uke-asset. This is ukyo, not really ukyo. He knows that he is gay, and he also knows exactly what he wants in life, and at the moment this is a very specific seme, and it doesn't matter that he doesn't really want to be a seme.
Phenotype: cute, although sometimes in order to disguise it can pretend to be an ugly nerd.
Often paired: with family, I'm straight, not really straight.

- uke-yankee(well, or bad fight). At school, they are local gopniks, in their older form - low-ranked yakuza or hosts of not the most prestigious bar, which, however, does not prevent them from finding happiness in the form of a suitable seme.
Phenotype: bleached hair, a cook on the head, a cigarette and out-of-shape clothes - for schoolchildren; again bleached hair and colorful shirts - for adults.
Often paired: with the seme, the first guy in the village (if the subject is nyashen enough), with the seme, the classic loser (if the subject is relatively brutal).

- "They change." Perhaps the rarest option.

- uke-kak seme. Those. there are no special differences, except in bed. Yes, it happens;))

Biography

early years

Born in Natal, South Africa at the Inanda Mission of the American Zulu Mission. His mother was the sister of John L. Dube and came from the family of a local chief. At the age of 17, Seme went to study in the United States, first he studied at Mount Hermon School, and then at Columbia University. In 1906 he received a medal for oratory. During the presentation of the award, Seme addressed the audience with a speech, which included the following words:

“The main driving force that guarantees the revival of African peoples is the awakening of racial consciousness<…>The African peoples, although I am not a monolithic race, have a single spirit inherent in all of them, which manifests itself in all their deeds and crystallizes in a single guiding idea. Arguments and strife quickly disappear in the face of a unifying force<…>relations that should exist between peoples bound by a common destiny ”.

It was one of the first striking manifestations of pan-Africanism. In 1962, the full text of this speech was reproduced by Kwame Nkrumah at the First International Congress of Africanists in Accra.

After completing his bachelor's degree, he decided to continue his education in England and entered Oxford, where he began to study civil law. While studying at Oxford, he created the African Students' Club.

ANC formation

Seme returned to South Africa in 1911. In Johannesburg, he took up a private legal practice. Together with other young Africans who returned from England's education and leaders of the South African Native Convention, he worked on a project to create an organization that would bring together representatives of the African population of the former English colonies and now the provinces of the newly formed Union of South Africa. On October 24, 1911, the newspaper Imwo Zabantsundu, published by John Tengo Jabavu, published an article by Seme "The Indigenous Union", which became the last impetus for the convening of a constituent congress of a new organization of Africans throughout South Africa. In 1912, these efforts led to the formation of the South African Indigenous National Congress (ANC since 1923). Seme was elected Treasurer General of the Congress. Also, with his direct participation, the press organ of the Congress was created - the newspaper "Abantu-bato". It was published in four languages: Isizulu, Isikos, Sesotho and English. It was published by Seme at the expense of the leaders of Swaziland.

In 1913, Seme created the South African Aboriginal Farmers' Association, which funded two farms in the Transvaal, but the adoption of the Native Lands Act by the South African Parliament in 1913 halted her efforts to expand commercial land tenure among Africans. In 1926, he represented the interests of King Sobuza II of Swaziland in the UK during his territorial disputes with South Africa. Seme's prestige grew further when Columbia University awarded him an honorary doctorate in law in 1928.

ANC leadership and the decline of political career

In the 1920s, the then general president of the ANC, J. Gumede, gradually began to draw closer to the Communist Party of South Africa. This caused serious concern for Seme and other moderate congressional leaders. At the next election of the leader of the organization in 1930, Seme was elected general president of the ANC.

At the head of the ANC, Sema did not manage to achieve significant success. His actions to revive the activities of the ANC House of Leaders and attempts to turn the ANC into an organization for mutual economic assistance ended in failure. Its popularity began to decline rapidly. Seme was accused of political inertia and an autocratic style of government. In 1937, he was defeated in the next elections of the general president of the ANC, at the same time the newspaper Abantu-bato, which he published, was also closed. Although he remained involved in politics until the late 1940s, he no longer played a significant role in it.

Seme was married to Harriet, daughter of the last incosi (ruler) of the Zulu Dinuzulu, son of Kechwayo. From this marriage he had four sons and one daughter.

    Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin blue-eyed young man in a tracksuit. In Shinto, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, and our hero has neither a temple nor priests, all donations fit in a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief moonlights as a jack of all trades, painting ads on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-tied Mayu, who has been working as a shinki as Yato's Sacred Weapon for many years, left the owner. And without a weapon, the junior god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician, you have to (shame!) Hide from evil spirits. And who even needs such a celestial?

    One day, a pretty high school student, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to rescue a guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to "leave" the body and walk on the "other side". Having met Yato there and finding out the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between the worlds. But, having got to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, we need to take matters into our own hands and personally direct the tramp on the right path: first, find a good-for-nothing weapon, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens. No wonder they say: what a woman wants - God wants!

    Suimei University Art High School has many dormitories and the Sakura tenement house. If there are strict rules in the hostels, then everything is possible in Sakura, it's not for nothing that its local nickname is “insane asylum”. Since genius and madness are always somewhere near in art, the inhabitants of the "cherry orchard" are talented and interesting guys who are too far out of the "swamp". Take, for example, the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only on the Internet and the phone. Compared to them, the main character of Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a psychiatric hospital just for ... love of cats!

    Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the hostel, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet her cousin Mashiro, who is transferred to their school from distant Britain. The fragile blonde seemed to Kanda to be a real bright angel. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest behaved stiffly and spoke little, but the freshly baked fan blamed everything on understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress was waiting for Sorata in the morning when he went to wake Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new acquaintance was a great artist absolutely out of this world, that is, she was not even able to dress on her own! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already trained on cats!

Those able to use magic after finishing nine grades in Japan are now expected in magic schools - but only if applicants pass the exam. The quota for admission to the First School (Hachioji, Tokyo) is 200 students, the top hundred are enrolled in the first department, the rest - in the reserve, for the second, and teachers are assigned only to the first hundred, "Flowers".

    The ghoul race has existed since time immemorial. Its representatives are not at all against people, they even love them - mostly raw. Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but there are few of them, because ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and camouflage, and violators are punished themselves or quietly surrendered to fighters against evil spirits. In the age of science, people know about ghouls, but as they say, they are used to it. The authorities do not see cannibals as a threat, moreover, they see them as the ideal basis for creating super soldiers. Experiments have been going on for a long time ...
