Ethel Cain is going to make a million dollars when Dust Bowl comes out judging from how much I've streamed the demo on Soundcloud.

It's amazing to me that The Summer Hikaru Died takes place during modern times because I love that a monster entity can excitedly text the boy he loves

It's just so adorable imagining them texting back and forth. I wonder if the real Hikaru also texted Yoshiki a lot

THE SUMMER HIKARU DIED, CHAPTER 37.2

[memehex]

I think some of the reactions to The Summer Hikaru Died from English speaking fans are very, very telling.

On one hand, you have people blatantly denying its queerness. Which gets harder and harder for them, especially after viewing the second episode.

Then you have the people denying its queerness because "it's not a BL". While I think most of the people saying this are younger or misguided by queerbait-y shows that they've seen, this sentiment still denies queerness as a part of life and a part of fiction. I thought it would be obvious that not all queer stories are romances. But I suppose there are really still people that only see queer people as the romances they have.

But then there's my least favorite type of person, who recognizes that the characters are queer in some way, but deny the fact that queerness (especially Yoshiki's sexuality) is woven into the fabric of the story. If Yoshiki wasn't queer, The Summer Hikaru Died would not be the story it is. Most of its themes would cease to exist.

The amount of people I've seen say that: "The Summer Hikaru Died may have a gay character, but it's not impactful to the plot. The story is about grief, not LGBT stuff" -- is horrifyingly sad. And the fact that so, so many people still racistly think that being queer is a western invention is even sadder.

I've seen people say that "oh, of course the author didn't mean for this to be about sexuality; they're Japanese!" is gross. Especially when Mokumokuren themself has described The Summer Hikaru Died as a "queer story".

Anyway, I'm annoyed with people, as per usual. I love that more and more people are getting into this story, but it truly makes me upset to see people try to take an explicitly queer story and water it down.

At least we have this:

And I like that even Reddit people are calling it the "fisting scene"😭

Sometimes a polycule is you, your best friend you're in love with, and the monster who replaced the best friend you're in love with.

[memehex]

This is a weird kind of aside but the dialogue in The Summer Hikaru died does such a good job of capturing what it's like to have a best friend growing up. How so often there's not really anything new to talk about or you're sleepy or it's hot in the afternoon so you're just kind of meandering through catchphrases in hopes of entertaining the person you feel sort of honored to have been chosen by .

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

summer hikaru died truly gets it because in a world where eldritch beings beyond our comprehension exist the scariest thing in the entire planet is having that one obnoxiously nosy lady who you've run into maybe twice on the way to the grocery store stop you dead in your tracks to grill you about how you should stop having unresolved feelings for the same sex friend you're fixated on
