Planning a Boy Love Parody with Slugs. Help!~

[travelercomic]

So I'm planning a boy love parody involving slugs. I've read a few in the past but I'm a bit out of season and will have to look into boy love again to really get a feel for parodying them decently.

In the mean time for those of you who have a bit more experience with them, what are the common tropes and plot points you often find in boy love? Things you like? Things that irritate you? Let me know!

Are the slugs the characters in question, or just props? Because there's already a couple of webcomics involving slugs. There's Tapas's own Slugworld.

Slugworld | Tapas

But also Neil Lalonde's Anime Tentacle Monsters, where a woman is plagued by slugs that appear every time she gets anxiety. They tend to tie her up with their bodies, which doesn't help. Mildly NSFW.

Well if they're not boy loves I'm not too concerned about there being other slug comics LOL

If the slugs themselves are in a relationship it would be epic. Imagine them wearing K-pop anime clothes and hairdo, even glasses for the "uke". Ok, I'm just kidding. Hm thinking about BL common tropes... Well, of course, all stories are different, but yeah some situations can repeat. I think that is very common that the dominant partner saves the "weaker" one from bullying/asault/ being hit by a car. Or they are opposites: Loud/quiet; Confident/shy; Rich/poor; Popular/ looser, Seme/uke. Or the seme is a complete asshole and thye didn't like each other until...they discover a childhood secret that completely justifies he is that much of a d*ck! He starts showing that deep down he has a heart of gold ( same clichè applies for Shojo and doramas XD)

came up with a concept! Anthro slug boys?

[amortelito]

OMG!!!! I swear you got a new loyal subscriber here!!! I just imagined a slime kiss XD!!

[travelercomic]

They kiss and when they pull away a slime trail lingers

[amortelito]

Just like REAL-NOT-EVEN-A-PARODY yaoi/hentai scenes jajajaja

[amortelito]

This ship has sailed!!!

[travelercomic]

Okay so we have to think of the story of it. I like the idea of him having to get saved from being harassed lol

[amortelito]

Yeah, a bunch of punks could be harassing him for being pretty (another big cliche here) and then Boom our seme saves him! He could punch those punks and then glide for a few panels leaving his slime trail to meet the uke. He could ask him if he is okay and warns him to be careful. They say their names shake hands and can get glued together!! Love at the first sight

I got carried away XD sorry.

[travelercomic]

That. Is. Amazing. I almost want to bring you onto the project XD

[amortelito]

The glory is yours my dear. But I would love to help you any time.

Seme slug needs hugeass hands and ukeslug needs big shiny animu eyes

[Tyler_P_Kinney]

Animu slug man

[leecomics]

This is so stupid I love it.

Here's my take on anthro slug yaoi!

[travelercomic]

I think what we plan on doing is making the "uke" character not actually an "uke". He's just a normal guy really confused why these people are suddenly acting like he's this super gorgeous uke boy and definitely doesn't want anything to do with the seme character who keeps treating him like he's a precious uke.

[frixelkind]

I strongly approve, where can I subscribe?

[travelercomic]

I swear it will be a thing...
