ngl i love that they separate calling their male parents by father and dad. bc idk maybe it's bc im gay, but i dont like the idea that with lgbt parents, esp in omegaverse, there is a set dad or mom. like the dude that gives birth isn't a mother, that's still a man, he's a father.
so idk ik its not that serious but i just like having an omegaverse with calling both male parental figures by the name. to me it makes it feel a little more transparent about the fact that these are two men
I don't really give a fuck whether you call this a queer love or a bl, as a lesbian i use both interchangably. because i LOVE this sm. and the fact that it is a horror on top, really makes the whole message of the series even better.
at the very, VERY core of this manga, it is about love and grief. we would all love to think that we experience these two feelings separately. Like when we are grieving, we won't fall in love or vice versa. But more often than not, we go through both. Unfortunately, our lives do not give us the luxury to experience our feelings independantly.
That's why Yoshiki both loves and grieves so hard in front of our eyes. We see him grieve over Hikaru, but we also see him love the new Hikaru. But more importantly, we see him actually struggle with this love because 'Hikaru' literally isn't Hikaru. This is a whole new person and so Yoshiki has to confront what he actually feels. Does he love this new Hikaru, or is he just uselessly projecting his old feelings of the original Hikaru onto him?
And this juicy plot is made even better as a horror manga. because everything is heightened. Just like the author points out in an interview, (i'll paraphrase) in horror feelings like fear and sexuality are heightened. Which is why in the scene that Yoshiki puts his hand in 'Hikaru' he feels disgust, fear, and arousal. Which sounds crazy, but this is also more common than not to feel. Especially when you consider societal factors like homophobia from family/peers, and general taboos.
So this story is beautiful, but that's why I mention in the title, I want to know the answer to the question, what will they do? I don't really have a clear answer for what exactly this story wants to tell us. we are given this horror love triangle from hell. Yoshiki himself doesn't even know what he feels towards the new Hikaru, or rather he's avoiding confronting himself about his feelings on whether or not he truly understands that this being isn't Hikaru and whether or not he actually loves him.
I can't wait for the ending and I can't wait for the anime !!
Gay not queer (slur to gay men which you as a lesbian may not realize). Jamila Jamil, that straight polygamous—er, “polyamorous”—Google exec who got #MeTooed by a bunch of women, that female Columbia professor who SAed a gay male student—all self-ID “queer.” Half the girls/women consuming gay male erotica on AO3? “Queer.” My 100% straight female childhood best friend? “Queer.”
This word erases gay men, harms gay men, and is destroying gay rights. Enough.
queer isn’t a slur lil bro, even if it was if ur lgbtq u can say it
you tell that to the author rn
