One cannot apologize for something fundamental

[ID: A digital drawing of Hikaru Indou and Lord Brainsnatcher disguised as Hikaru from Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu. The original Hikaru is laying down with his shirt mostly off, while Lord Brainsnatcher crouches over him and looks at the camera.

Brainsnatcher's face is almost entirely made of his insides, going down and entering a large hole in Hikaru's torso. Hikaru's intestines are spilling out and merge with the insides as well. The drawing is in bright light, casting a harsh shadow behind the two. /End ID]

Happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

TSHD has been on my reading list for forever. I finally started reading it the other day when I heard it’s getting an anime! Not that far in but I’m lowkey hooked! I live for tragedy (^_^)/✨

this was the base I used, it was made by puki_drg on twitter, Please go check them out!

I know that we all make fun of Hikaru’s death because he IS a fuckass loser but at the same time I can’t help but wonder if it was the work of some kind of spirit at the same time.

It’s too big of a coincidence to me how when he died he was lucky enough to encounter the brain snatcher , plus we know that the brain snatcher kept malevolent spirits away so what if it was actually around there to send away the spirit that caused Hikaru’s death and then everything went down as we know?

implicity yes yoshiki did have a crush on hikaru and 'hikaru'/brainsnatcher's insticts are textually compared to romantic feelings so it is also literally a gay thing but the paranormal "wrongness" and secrecy of their relationship is a more overarching metaphorical way of saying this is some sort of gay situationship. the real hikaru never had feelings for yoshiki and current yoshiki can't have feelings for 'hikaru'. its a multilevel unrequited love story, but they still cling to each other as a way of filling out their respective wishes, hikaru's being to protect yoshiki, and yoshiki's to keep hikaru by his side no matter what. if you read the summer hikaru died as purely an allegorical romance its about two boys hiding their relationship from their conservative community. when reading it as subtext its about a shameful unrequited crush. when you layer these on top of each other it's not a romance at all. the summer hikaru died is pretty undeniably about grief, but i think that on top of the literal sense of grieving someones death its also about grieving something that will never happen, but clinging to it anyway. its grief over a friendship that no longer works on any operable level, but both parties involved desperately cling to it because otherwise, they would be incredibly lonely. i hate how much of a tumblr buzzword yearning became but it is about yearning. and lonliness. the brainsnatcher serves as the tool for prolonging a relationship that is already dead. its original purpose was a "wish granter"
