wahooo's Things

does anyone have any bl/yaoi recommendations for someone who's never rlly read yaoi before? I want my friend to get into the genre but theyre lowkey on edge bc their other friend recommended them bj alex(like oml why did they recc that) and they said it was too much/bad(valid). They said if my recc isnt good, they'll never try reading yaoi again. i lowkey dont know what to recc bc it's been a while since ive read a good one. They want plot and like mystery and really doesn't want the first chapter to start off with the mcs fucking so I assume shes ok if its just shounen ai.

just a hypothetical question but like what are the top 5 to 10 movies you would recommend to someone who doesnt watch movies often(or do i want some recc too!)
I watched "Palm Springs(2020)" a few days ago and it was SO CUTE! ! andy samburg and Cristin Milioti were such a good pairing in that movie. i def recommend. its the perfect crazy adventure romcom movie without being too comedic. gave it 5 stars in a way where its not as cinematically good as other movies i would rate a 5 stars but i just enjoyed watching it so much that idc. also it gives a really hulu vibes movie (but not in a bad way)
These would be the movies i would recc to people who don't watch movies as often (TOP 5 being PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE GIVE IT A WATCH)
