this is my Frankenstein and Herbert West — Reanimator

this is literally the best BL i have ever read. as someone who loves horror literature, this satisfied me to the brim. "satisfied" would be an understatement. i loved Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Herbert West by Lovecraft and i did not expect to find something similar in the BL genre. i loved it so much it's insane—but i should have known better not to expect a happy ending. i got so invested i didn't even think of the ending and i felt violated by the end's angst. jesus.

mamiya, sada, and monkichi are so precious to me. what mamiya and sada had was unconventional but what they felt for each other was genuine. it's something more than love, i think, and it transcends life and death. i just love how mamiya, who's not used to affection at ALL, show his love for sada in his own clumsy ways. and throughout it all, sada was patient for him. i want to cry so bad but the ending was actually fitting for this story.

also, this is so My Chemical Romance coded! listened to them while reading and it made the experience great. i need a version of demolition lovers (the couple in the Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge) with sada and mamiya so bad TT sadly my digital art skills is shit hahaha
