hey so no one warned me that the summer that hikaru died was going to hurt me so bad

hikaru is me and seeing him have one person who fully accepted even the worst things he has done hit me so fuckin hard

It’s such a beautiful anime and such a beautiful queer story

queer stories without a focus on romance but having that ache still kills me and I love stories and horror like this

what's inside you? 🩻

this is a supernatural horror anime and yet this 10 seconds clip is way more horrifying and spine chilling than the entire show. kaoru's a child for god's sake and yoshiki is a gay closeted teenager who's in love with his dead best friend who isn't really dead. accurate portrayal of how patriarchal hegemony bleeds through every social interaction. those words are way more violent than any physical altercation can ever be. as a queer person this scene for me is honestly is nightmare inducing. no matter how proud and accepting i am of my identity, sitting with homophobic bunch of idiots makes my palms grow sweaty, my heart rate spikes and ears start ringing. words can't describe how bad i feel for yoshiki and kaoru. poor babies.

Yoshiki’s soul…is so beautiful.

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

[neo--queen--serenity]

Completely relatable for Yoshiki to give in to his attachment to the not-Hikaru so early on. If I was an isolated, closeted gay teenager who’d lost my best friend (who I was in love with), and the eldritch horror that replaced him came back validating my feelings every second of every day, telling me how much he loved and appreciated me, touching me constantly, giving me honest, unfiltered declarations of devotion?? Shit, I’d fold too

Don't forget to water your eldritch horror best friend so he can grow up strong and healthy <3

theyre calling 'hikaru' an evil spirit meanwhile he's wrapping himself in a blanket skipping school and crying his eyes out because he's scared yoshiki doesn't love him. evil spirit WHERE. ignore the villagers he's been violently murdering

[anodymalion]

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

the place I belonged to became you 🤍

This feels so gross… this feels good

[so-many-ocs]

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood
