Hi! I’m Syn (no that is not my real name, you don’t get to know that), a nonbinary college student that likes to post their random thoughts when they should be doing something else, like sleeping or studying. Speaking of which, I should get back to studying.
I’m so happy this is confirmed because as interesting of a theory it is, it removes so much of the nuance of the story. Such a fundamental aspect to ‘Hikaru’ as a character is his disconnect from human understanding and emotion, so to be controlled by human emotions erases some of that.
海外のファンの方は凄く考察してくれて楽しいです。ですが、「ヒカル（怪物）は光（人間）の隠していた気持ちを代弁しているだけで、ヒカル（怪物）に意思はない」というのは明確にNOです！私は怪物好きなので。

JK Rolwing deserves more shit for taking so much of the romance out of the cultural perception of wizards. Hearing the word "wizard" should conjure images of Saruman standing atop Orthanc bringing a storm on the Pass of Caradhras. Not boarding school children.

There's something ironic about a ttrpg character of mine getting stripped of their voice and being able to tell their own story and everyone from the campaign either misremembering or straight up ignoring them

I love The Summer Hikaru Died so much but I CANNOT engage with fan content anymore. So many people are erasing the complexities within the story to just say it’s yaoi. Not just as a headcannon, but firmly stating it as part of the story. QUEERNESS CAN BE SO MUCH MORE COMPLEX!!!

Have you considered that maybe that’s The Whole Point.

It’s raining rn, and there’s a part of me that really just wants to go sit outside until I’m covered in rainwater because it’s fun. The other part of me is yelling at me because I’m sick and that’s a bad combination.
I might do it anyways tho

…Hm. I’m just realizing I have literally eaten nothing today and it’s nearing the time I usually go to bed. On one hand, I should eat, but on the other,,, I’ll probably be fiiiiine.

Alrighty folks, it’s time to play everyone’s favorite game:
Am I actually sick or is my body just collapsing after running off of nothing but pure anxiety for the past several months?

Iconic Wei Ying moment:
“Hey so I’ll tell you how to get revenge after you eat. Oh, also here’s all we could find of your parents’ remains. Bon appetite!”

Yes!! We need more queer stories that aren’t just about romance. The Summer Hikaru Died has easily become my favorite manga from how well it portrays that!!
ジャンルについてのポストが分かりにくいという声があったので、ざっくり説明すると
・クィア（LGBTQに限定せず性的マイノリティ全体を指す言葉）の物語であるが、恋愛物語として描いていない。
・恋愛ではないクィアの物語があっても良いと考えている。恋愛をしないor出来ないというのも大切な要素である。
・"普通"になれない恐怖や居場所がない恐怖がテーマである。
・作品は基本的に"青春ホラー"として宣伝しているが、上記をふまえてどう捉えるかは人の自由だと思っている。
こんな感じです。
