So far, everyone who has seen this page swears that it looks like Ama is hitting on Gill. I didn't intend it that way, I swear. But now, no matter how I try to look at this page, a little voice in the back of my head says "yaoi."What do you people think?

"I'm so cold.""Yeah, I'll warm you up, you sexy tortured girly-man, you."

Yeah, that's what most people pointed out. And also, in the top right panel, where Ama's moaning, I drew Gill's arm reaching over him. However... look where it's placed.Eventually someone is going to write yaoi fanfic with this page in mind, I just know it. I don't know wherther to be embarrassed or amused.

Really? That didn't occur to me at all. Even after your message and looking at it again, I still don't see it.

Fer cryin' out loud, Amaroq is dying! Sex isn't usually high on the interest list at that point.Perhaps those who think it was sexual haven't spent much time around the severely injured, so have no frame of reference?Could you translate "yaoi?" I'm just getting into webcomics and hadn't seen that before. And I really love Ancient Ways. Thank you for doing the comic!------------------

The first person who said it was sexual has seen three people die in emergency rooms. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Could you translate "yaoi?"

Mostly it refers to male/male relationships in Japanese comics and anime aimed toward women. You find more of it in art sites and anime fan sites than in webcomics. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And I really love Ancient Ways. Thank you for doing the comic!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>.................
...Um, thank you for posting.

The severity of Ama's wounds is really what prevents me from seeing that interpratation of what is going on between Ama and Gill. If I try to think of it in sexual terms, I can only see it in a twisted version of Monty Python's Black Knight scene. And that was pretty twisted itself!Oh yeah, keep them Ancient Ways coming! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">
