All colors of the doll rainbow are welcome here.

With something like the Obitsu 50 commissioning or making your own is a good idea because they're an unusual size. I started sewing and making my own patterns because of my Obitsu 60 having a boy chest, tiny waist, and girly hips.

Ah, well that's good. And you should really read or watch Hellsing MC, I think it's really good.

Another subtext manga is Vassalord. OMG. You can cut Raflo's lust towards his Childe[Vampire meaning] like a hot knife through butter. That manga is a f-ing tease, I'll tell ya. Oh, and two of the characters in Hellsing can be 'seen' As gay, even though Vlad[Alucard] isn't really gay, but I know a few tells when I see them. And steppin' on eggshells, all the fans with a sense of humor like to tease Anderson's faith as a Catholic priest.

And yup, kinda figured about making my own clothing, since my doll is one of the big boys weighing in at 70 cm[waiting impatiently for him to arrive.] if I can just get that GD ashtray smell outta the old clothes deemed as fabric. Thank the Stars I have Oxi-Clean detergent, and Arm and Hammer odor buster detergent.

For the strongest odors submerge in brand new unused old fashioned cat litter with carbon scent absorbing bits, not crystals or clay or new fancy stuff. And keep kitty out of it some how. Litter smell is easier to deal with. Afterwards or with lighter odors submerge in powdered detergent.

I've removed smoke smell from plastic and rubber doll boots with the litter detergent method, it just takes a few days of submersion each time then let them air out. Another old fashioned trick to keep things fresh is to put a dryer sheet in with clothes, just change them every 20 years or so.

Ah. Lucky me I have no kitty. Not so sure I should have one even though I want one. I'll have to make do with my fishie. And I know I can find some old fashioned kitty litter. I have my old clothes stored in a garbage bag away from the resident smoker, but it still smells icky. Not even the resale shop wants them, and if they don't want them, then I know dumping them off at a charity store is a no go. Even Goodwill has standards.

What about moth balls? Will those be harmful? Not so sure. I can always use Febreeze too.

Arm and hammer helps alot, but even if you let it sit in for a while, you can still dectect a faint odor...then again i am sensitive to smells.

Haha, you just added two animes to my already growing "to watch" list versora! So who can be "seen" as gay in Hellsing? Alucard/??? A lot of anime and mangas really tease. One of the ones I watch is basically "EPIC FIGHTS AND SUPER GAY BROMANCE, AND BROMANCE, AND MORE BROMANCE, IN FACT FORGET THE FIGHTS IT'S BROMANCE ALL THE WAY! (And some epic fights.)" One of the bigger 'tease' mangas I've read is Count Cain (Kuroshitsuji basically 'lifted' a heck of a lot from this manga and it becomes rather silly-obvious when you list the similarities), with Riff/Cain. The ending to this manga....it just stabs me in the feels. Repeatedly. Sometimes I adore the shows that "tease" even better than out-and-out yaoi/shounen-ai! We tend to get more rounded out plots and themes while still getting a boatload of subtext to play around with! :D It sounds like Tiger And Bunny is sort of like that. ;) I need to watch that so badly it's not even funny.

Calivano: Yeah, it helps a lot. I have a sensitive sniffer too, but I hate the fact that now I am used to the smell of ciggies.

MC: Alucard and Anderson[The priest] I dun care who disagrees with me but the vampire almost gets a boner at the prospect of fighting Father Anderson. Although he does love to tease his master and his fledgling. Although Alucard is one of those fence sitters. You never truly know what's going on in that crazy freaky head of his. :lol: Never read the manga Cain, I heard it was pretty good.

:lol: I think Hellsing is going to be on my to watch list for sure now! :D Can't argue with a sexy priest. ;) Or a crazy vampire! Oh, if you've never read the manga Count Cain I really recommend it versora! It's a gorgeous manga and quite sad, but Riff/Cain is such a gorgeously portrayed relationship. It's definitely one of those "must read" mangas for the yaoi lover. :) If you've seen Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), you'll notice the similarity in plot, despite Kuroshitsuji's more dark-comedic tone and Count Cain's sadder storyline, but it's obvious where Kuroshitsuji got most of it's base ideas. :lol:

Well, looks like I'll be on the look out for Count Cain. I have seen a few episodes of Black Butler, but what creeped me out is the fact that some uber obsessed fangirls tended to make a yaoi pairing out of the two main characters. For Pete's sake the boy is eight years old.... *shivers* Uhm, no...... Anyway another good Shounen-Ai is Loveless or Yami no Matsui[Descendants of Darkness] My absolute favorite yaoi hands down is Ai no Kusabi[The Space Between] or something Blue Wolves.

Errrrr....the two main characters from Kuroshitsuji are actually supposed to have yaoi subtext. Watch it for an episode or read more than a chapter and you're likely to come across blatant fangirl-pandering. The author has a lot of fun with physical gags and insinuating naughty things. If you watch the second season of the anime, it's even more pronounced, especially between the villains Alois Trancy and his butler Claude Faustus (Alois is a bit older than Ciel, the main character, but he's still definitely sixteen or younger. Also, if I remember correctly, Ciel is thirteen, not eight. I know that doesn't sound much better though!! :lol: ) It personally doesn't bother me, especially because that's what the actual mangaka is going for. Count Cain is a much more mature manga though in terms of mood and theme. Also, you may have to forgive Kuroshitsuji its perceived follies if you're into Loveless. 8-) Ritsuka is quite young for Soubi, I think he's around the thirteen age mark too, and Soubi's a creepster in his twenties and totally doesn't care. :lol: I haven't watched Yami No Matsuei in years! I just remember that being the dark ages of dubbing and Hisoka's voice scaring the hell out of me because it was deeper than Tsuzuki's! I also distinctly remembering wanting to throttle Tsuzuki at times. That was the first time I'd ever come across a "Seuke" (He can be a "top" with some characters and is obviously overpowered in a sexual manner by others and comes across as an "uke" but really I remember him coming across as a whiny schizo...maybe I need to rewatch it without judgement here and give it a second chance. It's literally been over ten years since I watched it.) Okay, as for the "Wolves" yaoi, there are two main titles I can think of with that name. I think you're referring to "Legend Of The Blue Wolves", right? It's an older yaoi? The other one is a manga that I adore by Naono Bohra called "Three Wolves Mountain" which I also recommend quite heartily! Naono Bohra isn't afraid to give older guys a chance and she draws men like men, which is always a plus, and her stories literally range across the genre board.
