This is a thread on why Natsuki is trans-coded and is a trans allegory.
It’s amazing to see this in a piece of media considering how under presented trans folks are, and it being accurate too.
imagine some lady stops u to ask for directions and ur like FUCK my life bc ur antisocial but ur also too polite to ignore her so u look for ur social butterfly secret crush who was right beside u but he’s nowhere to be found??? so u suck it up and start helping the lady ONLY TO
while it is sad that things had to be this way the direction taken with yoshiki's story makes queer people who had to, or are still fighting to, escape their repressive hometowns feel incredibly seen. if he hadn't left to stay true to himself, that would've been the real tragedy
i know ppl didn’t want this but this story has always been an metaphor for queerness and family is one of the biggest sacrifices people have to make to be free to be who they are. especially if ur from a hick lil town
Something about him no longer craving souls bc he just got one by nurturing Yoshiki’s soul and keeping him alive… it’s all coming full-circle to his previous job as an illegitimate, now he has one soul to watch over forever… half of himself literally belongs to Yoshiki’s soul.
