ugh I don't know. I was talking with someone (related to spiderverse and gwen) and got mad about this topic again. this might have been a bit of a nothing rant.

it's reduced to a headcanon to strip it of its validity. And that's also not to say that interpretations can't be debatable-- because they absolutely are, and they're bound to vary from person to person-- my issue is the outright dismissal because of certain prejudices. (+)

they're totally a fun way to interact with a work-- but they are, ultimately, uncritical and more... frivolous? I don't know. It's about the connotations. And sometimes a thought could very well be a hc that has very little basis in the work, but often times it's the opposite, and (+)

it wasn't intended by the author (and that's a whole rant in and of itself, because intentionality shouldn't dictate interpretations, and because there's a weird reluctance to engage with subtext, or maybe just an inability to discern it, idk). And this isn't to disparage headcanons-- because (+)

explicitly stated? I just find it a bit frustrating because I constantly see any interpretation relating to a marginalised perspective (i.e., queer or neurodivergent readings of characters) being dismissed as just a "headcanon"-- because it's not outright confirmed in the text or because (+)

disappointed by certain ending choices. I still adore them, but again, twinged with disappointment, which sucks

about it, or in a direction that, no matter how I look at it, feels like it betrayed itself-- especially in cases where I end up feeling really adamant that I didn't misinterpret what I had been reading
anyways, just a personal vent related to two manhwa that I adored but was left feeling (+)

perspective/thoughts/opinions, and I don't even necessarily want or expect things to unfold in whatever ways I've theorised... but like, damn, it can feel really sour when I've been anticipating something and it... doesn't happen, or it goes in a direction that betrays what I originally loved (+)

the thing that really matters-- that though their family may be weird, there is love and so it is good, and that being a family means dealing with both the good and bad things.

whose choice to step away from the relationship is driven by her overwhelming multitude of fears. It paralyses Maya and leads her to anticipate futures that may never even pass, to try and cushion both Yuuta and her own self, but ultimately, what Michiru told her, and what Michiru told Yuuta, is

--that Michiru had changed from who she was five years prior, nor could she see that she, in fact, was the one stagnating. Michiru was ready to acknowledge their relationship and face any resultant struggles, and she ended up with this lovely mature outlook on family that directly opposed Maya's--

she wants them to be seen as lovers, but then on top of that she's afraid that Yuuta will suffer for the inevitable judgement (and I think Maya is also scared that Yuuta might one day reject her when he is old enough to understand).
But because Maya was so consumed by her anxiety, she couldn't see--

This was something that also really struck me when I read it! Maya is afraid of being abandoned (and Michiru has already left her once), and then there's her larger struggle with the notion that their society won't recognise her relationship with Michiru the way she wants it to be recognised--

Yeah, absolutely. I just came across the screenshots you posted on twitter too and ffs it’s so blatantly nasty

Am not up to speed (I’ve only seen bits and pieces), but the rhetorics that I have seen have just been so vile and disheartening— that begrudging “respect” they have for the queer community whilst still viewing it as a sin, and just the general obtuseness to their own homophobia. It’s infuriating

Hirano to Kagiura though?? ugh obsessed. Love these two dorks so much and I reread the manga every couple of months because they are my happy pill

Officially, on Renta: www.ebookrenta.com/renta/sc/frm...
But Renew actually hasn't been licenced in English as far as I know, so M*ngadex for the fan translations!

It's defo worth a read! Anna and Mitsuru's dynamic is really neat, the art is gorgeous (cannot emphasise this enough), and it's a pretty short read too so I'd totally recommend giving it a go

It has an almost flat, almost gouache-y look to it, too. It's quite pretty.
But anyways, it's overall a wonderful manga and I like it a lot.
And as a side-note, I've realised that I tend to really like stories that pair summer with grief-- it's a combination that gets me every time
(4/4)

The art itself is quite cute and simple, but it's so expressive! What really drew me to it though was the colour design (it's a coloured manga)-- the colours are very evocative of summer, but are also all, simultaneously, slightly desaturated, attesting to the pervading sorrow of our main two (3/4)

their obstinance in reliving their memories of the summer the three of them spent together, even whilst knowing, deep down, that it wasn’t the same at all; their fears of moving forward; their messy feelings of guilt and loneliness and sorrow tangled with confusion and attraction (2/4)

soooo good! I'm just thinking about it again and an edit with Princess Tutu's Rue + this song would absolutely eat
