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
