✨New Official Art Of Ash And Eiji✨

it's a cruel, cruel summer! 🍌🐟

commissions open!

sentiment from @starpeace

I think this is what's so haunting about banana fish. jk, there are a lot of things that linger when it comes to banana fish. but I think this is what drives the au's where langa and reki or viktor and yuuri are ash and eiji in another life. they crossed oceans to find one another, and found home in another person. where ash (and all associated danger) eventually drew eiji out of his ennui following his retirement and general naïveté, eiji's gentle innocence and compassion (that came without strings) made ash feel safe and loved despite a life riddled with abuse and objectification.

whether you choose to see them as a romantic pairing (vikturi au) or as friends who made one another better through their connection (renga au), the ending they got was heartbreaking. because after everything they survived, everything they sacrificed, having found each other against all odds in the first place - there's no resolution. no happy ending. just more trauma to punctuate a life ensconced in trauma.

ash deserved more. aslan deserved so much more. and he deserved to think that he was worth saving.

Me when I purposefully consume media that will damage my mental health:

Garden of Light is so weird like imagine you go to visit your uncles friend Eiji’s house because your dad won’t accept your gender Identity but you get kidnapped by this tall dude who is your uncles friend’s friend. And then your uncle’s friend’s best friend’s father figure’s son comes over and he’s all like “yo, remember ash? got any pictures?” and Eiji’s all like “what? Pfft no way” and you’re like “hey let’s go to the library” but that really triggered your uncles friend. So you talk to the tall guy and your like “who the fuck is ash” and then he’s all like “oh yeah that’s somebody Eiji loves but they dead now” so your like “oh ok she seems cute” and he’s like “no you dumb bitch Eiji is gay” and then everyone is crying, a computer is verbally harassed, and you’re like “damn I just wanted to go to the library” 

He doesn’t know 😔

Everything we depend on to survive has collapsed. Our home, my work, and my husband's job. Now we face hunger and cold, while constant bombing threatens our lives every moment. 😓

My little boy, who is 22 months old, is very hungry and cold. We have not had bread or milk for two days, as prices have become unbearable. A bag of flour costs $300, and milk costs $80.

There are days we go to sleep very hungry! 🥺

The flu weakened my child's emaciated body, and the lack of food caused my mother-in-law to suffer from severe anemia, leaving her bedridden unable to move.💔

I cannot describe the feeling of helplessness I experience every day, as I see hunger and disease surrounding my child and my family without having anything to offer them. 😢

We beg you, do not leave us facing this fate alone 🙏😥

"Now I wait alone for death to come Faded pictures so I know Nowhere to go so I don't Picture your body Hearing your voice And fall into your eyes"

I could write entire essays about Griffin Callenreese and Yut Lung's mother. Essays.

They're parallel characters, they're the duo that never met. They're the pivotal ghosts of the series, all occurs because of them and they couldn't even see it, they're the stereotypical embodiment of "femininity" and "masculinity" gone rotten and wrong. They were both outcasted and neglected by their fathers, presumably no mother. They're the child-caretakers in both senses, having to take care of a child as a child. They're the sacrificals and the sacrificial lambs.
