Hey Banana Fish friends! I’m so SO glad that this fandom is alive and thriving! This piece of meta has gotten a lot of feedback, and in general has been generating some good discourse. Obviously there’s a lot to talk about!  Here’s my ADDENDUM to this original piece, appropriately titled I HATE EVERYTHING, OH GOD, OH GOD, THE MANSION IS ON FIRE 

This is followup meta concerning NOT how I believe the story should be interpreted, but how I feel about it as a modern queer creator, which is quite a different thing indeed, especially concerning the anime. Again, read at your own risk of post volume 19 spoilers!
