Trans Megathread for the Week of December 30th, 2024 to January 5, 2025 - The Summer Hikaru Died

Here's to a new year! Here's my first mega try (also first time posting in a while due to reasons) but heya! Admittedly struggled a fair bit with self doubt and anxiety on this one as put it off for a while/other things caught up with me but I figure I'll be glad I did it once I've done it. It's kinda being done last minute though, so admittedly there's that...

I'd been intending to make the mega about something else originally when I signed up, but that would require more time on my part (and I just binge read this recently, so it all works out). Anyways, my subject of the week is The Summer Hikaru Died; it's a queer (BL) horror manga which is currently also scheduled for anime release next year (2025).

Content warnings naturally follow and further details will be spoilered.

Anyways, I should cut myself short at this (and make sure to have something properly written beforehand for next time). But anyways, thus far it's a strong recommend (if you feel alright with the content warnings) from me.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • I also found your sad mouse pfp on one of the album covers,

    Famous mouse

    although the best Rook album cover is probably Bustle...

    I just read it, relatable asf...

    All of her stuff is like that, Fallow is like that

    I posted some quotes n caps of it on this site somewhere...

    it was too annoying to enjoy much wordy media for like a decade. But anglo media is pretty annoying in general,

    Ah but that's so REAL

    heartening to think that non-angloid media is less annoying as a baseline tbh.

    • fellow failmouse here lol

      I posted some quotes n caps of it on this site somewhere...

      Yeah I know, I remember it! I wasn't lying when I said good post! ರ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ರ

      heartening to think that non-angloid media is less annoying as a baseline tbh.

      well tbh my native language media is pretty much as bad as english at this point, but I grew up still watching soviet cartoons so that was lit. But in general at least there was more variety from all around the world, native english speakers really don't like subtitles (or become elitist about subtitles lmao) and frankly just generally dehumanise people that don't speak their language. It makes them engage with foreign media in... strange ways shall we say, if they do at all

      • Yeah I know, I remember it!

        Wtf no way, my fallowposting is older than your entire account, waow... also thank you

        Soviet cartoons

        but the subtitle shit, I see it often, I hate it frequently. I never really understood it, baffling shit honestly. I also grew up around a bunch of weeaboos too, so lol

        • my fallowposting is older than your entire account, waow...

          not my first account (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

          bunch of weeaboos

          hahaaa you picked up exactly what I was laying down xD I was embarrassingly close to some weeb-ish people growing up and uhh i cannot unsee the horrors

          • not my first account (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

            Every time I find I'm talkin to someone who's not new

            I was embarrassingly close to some weeb-ish people growing up and uhh

            We are comrades in horrors we cannot unsee, fuckin weeeeebs

    • All of her stuff is like that, Fallow is like that

      You do really have me on the hook, because it feels embarrassingly similar to my own writing and it makes me morbidly curious to check it out. But I've been a bit too burnt out to enjoy playing any games recently and that sounds a bit too trippy for me to fully take in and appreciate right now tbh (⁠๑⁠´⁠•⁠.̫⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠`⁠๑⁠)
