Okay y’all, hear me out

Exactly this!!!! Like, i love love love stories that's prominent queer w/o having it being the main focus; the way horror, panelling and yoshiki's spiralling is used to represent his internalised homophobia is so well done !!
something i really love abt tshd is how queerness is so intrinsic to the plot without it being the main focus, it’s pretty common in anime/manga where if there are canon queer characters, the word gay or actual queer struggles are never mentioned. but in tshd, yoshiki is very clearly repressed and closeted living in a rural, homophobic town in japan. it’s *suffocating* him, the only person he really had was hikaru but now he’s “gone” but still not quite gone, leaving him tethered back to this town. it’s obviously a super common sentiment among queer people who live in rural areas to want to escape into city.
and i know everyone laughs at this panel for the iconic ell jee bee tea thing. but in context it’s one of the most heartbreaking and relatable scenes in the whole manga imo. the people of this town aren’t just homophobic, but they’re trying to erase the mere existence of gay people as a whole by covering it up. its pretty obvious that yoshiki is depressed, and it’s easy on the surface to think its solely because he literally has a monster possessing his dead childhood friend/crush’s corpse. but its pretty clear that it only strengthened what was already there. (lowkey his themes are very reminiscent of owen in ‘i saw the tv glow’)
it’s hilarious seeing people say “why did they have to make it gay” ever since the anime trailer came out bc truthfully this story would not work nearly as well as it does if it wasn’t just some random ass straight couple. i really hope anime watchers look deeper into the narrative instead of just saying “omg its uwu toxic yaoi” or “it’s a horror anime with forced woke gay ppl in it”
SUPER DUPER UNDERRATED UNKNOWN PSYCHOLOGICAL GOTHIC BOOK FANART!!! Characters are from Dark Water by Elizabeth Lowry; I highly recommend you check it out, if this sounds like your jam!! Happy to (possibly) be the first person to make fanart of them 😞
was gonna make a post about The Character but then i looked at my dash for 5 seconds and it would appear that everyone is also having the same experience so
May or may not have drawn Jester as a ghost.
Kyle from the enemy series as a dog!!! For Art Fight!!! Dog AU!!!
Akkie and Jester yayaya
The old one had gotten deleted for unknown reasons, so I and a few others created another safer and friendlier server for the enemy fandom!
It's non-discriminatory and we of course support systems here as well! We have a category dedicated to systems even.
You can also talk here spoiler free! We have designated channels for spoilers and certain books, you can talk ab any of your hcs or thoughts here!
We encourage anyone to join, even if you haven't read the series and you'd like to. We host reading nights as well as gaming and movie events! I'm the owner of the server (toramoonx), so if you have any questions you may ask me or anyone else on the staff team!
Can't wait to see y'all there.
hey whats it called when an animal makes itself look bigger and more dangerous to scare off predators?
Adding this to my paul channing playlist omfg you're so right
