Collection: Seme/Uke

Posts featuring yaoi pairings that perfectly fit the stereotypical archetypes of Seme and Uke. Seme and Uke are terms for the top and bottom in a Boys' Love pairing and can come in many different forms since they only denote sex positions. However, the common stereotype for Seme/Uke dynamics in BL that gets parodied and referenced online is that of a domineering, manly Seme and submissive, girlish Uke.

Seme tropes:
  • Always the top
  • Dominant
  • Very masculine
  • Tall, muscular, generally large
  • Sexually forward
  • Protective and prone to jealousy
  • Sharp features
Uke tropes:
  • Always the bottom
  • Submissive
  • Feminine or androgynous, but no traps
  • Short, thin, generally small
  • Often acts shy or innocent
  • Round features
