>>2230410 I usually keep a very close eye on my friends' interest so I know what to get them. Nothing really compares to the feeling you get when you get it right and they propose to you on the spot. Money is great though, because you can gift yourself the things you really want. But you have something that you really want, and your loved ones know it. I can't even tell if the uke really wants anything (apart from what he wants for other people). Couldn't give the uke money though, because they're usually super virtuous and would probably give it back. I could give them anything else, and they would like it the same which is like liking nothing at all.
I guess I could compare these uke to noble gases. They don't react. The effect they have on the solution boiling up or changing colour is the same effect you get if you put nothing in. So why put them in, is what I'm thinking.
>>2230414My interests are really diverse in the sense that I can appreciate a lot of things. If you consider interests as things I'm passionate about though, then of course it's going to be a small pool. Even smaller is the pool of things I dislike (with what we're discussing being one of them). It's just that the thing I happen to dislike makes up a large part of what's available to me.
I read very very fast. Too fast, almost. I wish I hadn't already blazed past so much good stuff. Yaoi is a niche, so yes, there is not much I haven't read at this point apart from the large bunch of romanticized rape stories. I'm probably going to go through them too, on the days when I'm feeling particularly patient and have time on my hands. The main trope annoys me, but it's not like there aren't amusing elements to these stories nonetheless.
