there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!

Literally will never recover from the character Jon Sims. Cursed by spiders from age 8. Acted skeptical of horrific entities while fighting said entities. Tried to cut off his own finger repeatedly. Partook in an enemies-to-lovers romance in which only he believed them to be enemies. Short. Kidnapped at least 3 times. Surrounded by queer women who are constantly threatening to kick his ass. No understanding of pop culture. Possessed by a purveyor of apocalyptic beat poetry. Said the first “I love you” in the show, directed at a cat that was biting him. Called a merry-go-round “thrilling.” Metaphysically disassembled anyone who was mean to his boyfriend. Said “good lord” unironically. Asked a murderous Russian clown why she didn’t sound Russian. He was even bi

Spoilers for chapter 38-3 of TSHD

I wanted to emphasise that the fact that “Hikaru” can be described – at least in human terms – as aroace, and the fact that his relationship with Yoshiki is some equivalent of queerplatonic, does not “erase” the queerness of the story. To the contrary: it IS queerness. Just of the kind that’s rarer, less talked about and often misunderstood within the queer community itself. And that’s precisely the reason why this story is so beautiful and incredibly important.

I also wanted to point out another significant thing that happens in chapter 38-3: “Hikaru” gets acknowledged as his own person, not just a replacement for the real Hikaru. By talking about the difference in his feelings towards both of them, Yoshiki affirms they’re two separate people, and that he cares about both as persons; it’s not just a body he wants, that would be twisted. The fact that he has formed a different sort of connection with “Hikaru”, something that is its own thing and not just an echo of the past irrevocably gone is, again, beautiful and incredibly important. It affirms the personhood of “Hikaru” (whatever he is) and shows that Yoshiki is maybe finally ready to move on.

Because Hikaru technically died in winter, but no one was able to grieve him and to release the idea of him until summer.

Remember that, of all the ways Yoshiki could have tried killing the not-Hikaru—futile as it may seem to someone in his position—he chose to try to stab him to death.

Despite the obvious—that a knife is an easy lethal weapon that anyone can access—Mokumokuren could have chosen poison, bludgeoning, smothering, or any number of other methods that would have been a less personal way to attack “Hikaru” (though a gun wouldn’t have been likely, with Japan as the setting).

But stabbing is one of the most infamously intimate, emotionally volatile forms of homicide that criminal psychologists often assign to killings driven by sex, unrequited love, jealousy, and crimes of passion. In murder cases, behavioral analysts often equate it to an expression of impotence, of a sexual desire unfulfilled, as a way to lash out at the object of that desire, due to the fact that the act itself is death by violent penetration.

On top of that, Yoshiki stabbed him in his own, unmade bed, where “Hikaru” was lounging comfortably—an image that doesn’t have to be considered intimate, but, contextually, undoubtably, is.

"kill them with kindness" wrong. mongoose in the desk drawer, inflatable octopus in the closet, boxing kangaroo attack, magic cowbell. egg.
