Hi again, I might just be yelling at a void. Banana Fish folks, let's follow each other on twitter if you like? Mine's @reply1990_98!
Can we talked about how gentle and worried Eiji was to Ash in episode 20
Yes he’s very comfy at his job
it’s now available here !
Help! I got a cardiac arrest (cuteness overload!!!)
i saw you in a dream by The Japanese House
✨Warm summer nights✨
At first I didn't understand why I was obssessed with platonics and romantics relationships like Ash and Eiji's ( Banana Fish), Eddie and Richie's (It), He tian and Mo Guan Shan's ( 19 days), Wilhelm and Simon's (Young Royals), Hachi and Nana's (Nana), Marceline and BubbleGum's ( Adventure Time), Mike and Will's ( Stranger things)...
It's ONLY because I've never been the first choice, never had a best friend or a lover. Nobody was or is in love with me. I never feel wanted and people don't need me. And that's why I've been watching those shows and dreaming about this kind of relationship.
I don't even know if they helped me when I felt alone or if they make it worse. But sometimes I tell myself that one day, one day it's going to be my turn, my turn to be loved.
It's crazy because if you look at their relationships they love each others for who they really are, even if one of them has trauma, one of them is a loser, one of them has issues and has been abused, one of them is weird.
Anyways.

The face Ash makes when he realizes he's loved>>>>>>>>>>

“If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.”
this is so sad i miss them </3
Love is all around
I'm certain a lot of people see Eiji as a ✨️smol cinnamon roll✨️
The boy is crazy
Who in their right mind sees a gang leader and is like "I choose him". Visits him in prison like "I'll come visit you again 🥺💕" .
Eiji is depressed and unhinged lol
currently thinking about the crushing reality that eiji is definitely afraid of pumpkins now too. and not in the same way ash was like little kid afraid, more like the sight of them reminds him so deeply of ash and a really fond memory between the two of them that it is actually really painful for eiji. so he has ended up taking on ash’s fear. halloween is super hard for eiji. he always tries really hard to enjoy it but he never really can. he dresses up and tries so hard to pretend to be someone else just for one night but he just sees ash everywhere on halloween
The way Eiji attacks Ash with all 5 love languages

by your side.
it's his birthday
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.
