Any stories that tackle the concept of gods in general? Like pose skeptic questions and shit/have characters that are atheists, doubt the existence of gods.

For example, if you catch my drift:

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/barbarian_quest/

I'll take recs where the MC is a god/goddess though!

I'm still SUPER fucking salty this got axed. I know I can read the novel, but action media is SO much easier to digest in a visual form, and also the art was god-tier so I am mad.

One time I heard the front door of my house open when I was home with just my brother. Since I was expecting my mum, after a while of waiting and hearing no footsteps, I thought it was weird. So I went to check the front door, only to see that it wasn't open, still deadbolted, and her car hadn't pulled into the driveway. Nobody was even at the fron......

Does anybody know any stories with a gyaru and/or gyaruo character that ISN'T just tan and blonde hair, and maybe some animal print.

I want the full shabang. I want the character to fully embody the lifestyle, the make-up, be aware they're a gyaru and actually identify as such etc. I'd also smother someone with kisses if it had characters of other substyles we don't usually see (Hime, Manba, Rokku, etc.)

NO straight up smut, but it can be PWP if it's BL. I'd prefer Slice of Life/Romance tho.

MaruMaru asked a question

I' trying to remember this name of one BL where the MC was an older guy who liked collecting/making stuffed animals, but hid it. He gets with a younger guy that likes the hobby?

I just remember the scene where the younger guy finds all the stuffed toys and the MC gets really embarrassed.

Sorry for it being a bit bare bones, but that's all I can remember about it; does anybody know what I'm talking about? (Or any similar stories for reccs please )

Okay so I did some google-level research to figure out wtf was going on and I bare results.

Can a cisgender male be born with a uterus? The short answer is: Yes. It is possible.
Can he get pregnant? Ehhhhhhh......mm, depends.


THE LONG ANSWER: There's a condition called Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome, or PMDS for short. Now, I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that all babies start developing as females, before either changing sex to male or continuing as female. Before the sex is decided, the fetus will have the Müllerian Duct, which (from my understanding) will later on develop to become the female internal sex organs, however, if the baby turns out to have the XY chromosomes, the duct will break down into proteins.

BUT for PMDS (as in the name), this duct will stay, and therefore lead to the male in question developing a uterus and fallopian tubes. Can this uterus be used though?? Debatable.

(here is where you should start taking things I say with a grain of salt because I had to rely on Reddit and Quora...)

Males with PMDS are often infertile in both departments. If you actually look into it, the name Mikey Chanel, a transgender woman, might pop up, but with a further look, I found out Mikey was likely lying about her pregnancy. Not the fact she was pregnant, that in itself seems to be theoretically possible, but the way she got pregnant. She claimed that her uterus (developed through PMDS) had fertile eggs. However, there has never been a person with PMDS to EVER have had a fertile eggs, which would make Mikey the first. Not only that, she's been caught lying about how she got pregnant and the child she claimed to be having is non-existent so...

----------

NOW, relating back to the story. It would be theoretically impossible for the MC to become pregnant, even with a uterus, because as we discussed, there has never been a case of PMDS patient being fertile (in the female sex organ departmemt).

BUT, this is fiction, so let's say MC is a miracle case. Still....debatable. See, even if his female sex organs have fertile eggs, there's no way for the sperm to get to the uterus through his ass? Sperm cells can't diffuse (and even that is a long shot).

Mikey had once claimed to have gotten pregnant through the anus due to the sperm cells coming into the uterus from the fistula. Which...everyone seems to agree is bullshit. Because, again, you need a shit tonne of sperm to even fertilise an egg naturally.

The only way for the sperm to even reach the uterus would be if the MC had male pseudohermaphroditism, where he would also develop external female sex organs. But often times, that's removed after birth (depending on the choice of the parents). Plus, the MC clearly does not have any female external organs so...

-----------

But is it necessarily impossible for a male with PMDS to become pregnant? No, not with modern medicine (haha). Theoretically, if someone with PMDS were to be able to get their hands on a sperm donor and an egg donor, they would be able to place that now fertilised egg into their uterus and hence, become pregnant. The baby would have to be delivered via c-section though.

The viability of that pregnancy is also debatable. The ovaries are very important in producing the proper hormones to maintain a pregnancy. And as we discussed, people with PMDS usually do not have this. So whether the pregnancy would be able to carry to term is VERY debatable.

-----------

So basically, quite fucking impossible for MC to get pregnant.

MaruMaru asked a question

Looking for recommendations for a BL with two pretty boys, or, for lack of a word, "uke"-like appearance as the main couple that enjoy more traditionally feminine hobbies (Make-up, cooking, fashion, sewing, etc.).

It doesn't have to be both in one, I'd take either or at this point, but I'd prefer finding a story where both characters have feminine-leaning hobbies/personalities.
