The Summer Hikaru Died is like. what if you believed you were a disgusting monster for being gay. but then you meet a real monster, and over time you start to believe that even this monster deserves to be safe and happy, and it's the first time you start allowing yourself to believe that maybe you do too. what if I cried one million tears forever

Thank you Sam for always saying Louis isn't somehow more unreliable narrator than other characters and in this interview specifically saying Lestat is intentionally unreliable in the way Louis isn't (x)

Maybe this Hikaru just doesn't know anything. If he's really that naive, I gotta teach him a few things.

it’s probably a good thing that tgcf was told from xie lian’s perspective because if it was from hua cheng’s it would just be him almost having a heart attack any time xie lian did anything, the reader would never get any useful information

oh my god

screw this. HEY, DYLAN! SO, THAT’S IT? YOU’RE JUST GONNA KEEP LYING TO ME? AFTER EVERYTHING I’VE DONE FOR YOU? I WAS ON THE HONOR ROLL BEFORE THIS, YOU KNOW? I SAID THE WORD DICK TO TEACHERS FOR YOU. I GOT SUSPENDED FOR YOU, YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT? the fuck are you talking about? YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE. i’m an asshole? YEAH. YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE? i’m an asshole? just a guilty asshole? YEAH. YOU’RE NOT GUILTY BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE. YOU’RE GUILTY BECAUSE YOU FUCKING DID IT! YOU DID THE DICKS WITH MACKENZIE! it’s ironic. i set out to expose all the biases in the school. biases that could have led to the expulsion of an innocent student based on reputation instead of facts. but i got a little too close to my subject. and i think you can see here… DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED ON THIS? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOURS I SLAVED OVER THIS TRYING TO PROVE YOU INNOCENT? i may have had some biases of my own.

thinking about that bit in american vandal where the documentary has gone viral and there’s a clip from viewers talking about how it represents the failure of the justice system because that’s exactly how i talk about this show

Feels nice. Been a while since I felt something alive inside me.

Getting back into that Jaeger will kill you. Not getting into one would kill us all.

do publishers realize that advertising books using fanfic tropes spoils the experience of reading an original story. stop telling me it’s enemies to lovers and there was only one bed and unrequited love hurt comfort golden retriever black cat timeloop major character death. why do i give a fuck if i don’t know any of the characters and now plus i already know the entire plot of the story. that’s what ao3 is supposed to be for

Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu Episode 01 - Sceneries

the summer hikaru died is a horrible tragedy about being the only gay people in your hometown and how that complicates the experience of realizing your feelings for someone, the sense of isolation and otherness you feel growing up and knowing that youre different. it's also the series where a teenage boy falls off a cliff and dies because he stopped to look at a tree shaped like a sexy lady. im not kidding btw that's literally how original hikaru died. that's the inciting incident of this whole series. he went AWOOGA and ate shit so bad he died in the forest and that's how he got replaced by an eldritch entity. anyway everybody should watch the anime the first ep is out now
