day 3 - bar 🍻

Tbh I'm glad I bought that Angel Eyes art book. Like I couldn't afford anything much right now, much less another grand official Banana Fish merch again, and I cry each time.

My aroace ass and my deep yearning for somebody anyway. Just. Ugh. Why do I have to feel this way? I think that queerplatonic yearning started from Ash and Eiji's relationship. It almost hurts me physically. I miss and pine for someone I haven't even met.

I'm awkward and anxious as hell, but if there's a Banana Fish discord I could join in, please let me know. I can't keep suffering through this yearly banana fish depression alone everytime. Really want someone I can fully share it with aaaa, hell, maybe not just BF related all the time too. So yes yes, please let me know. 👉🏻👈🏻

Congrats on hitting 100 followers!!! u deserve waaay more honestly your writing is impeccable and beyond beautiful, we can't thank you enough for sharing it with us 🥺🫂

In your opinion, what careers would suit adult aslan and eiji? my friends always see ash as a librarian type but i feel like teaching would be a fun concept!

Thanks for the ask, Anon, and for reading my AshEiji fics! I've pondered this question many times as I brainstormed bajillion Married!AshEiji prompts. Allow me to spill some of my brain content to you:

Ash

I am 100000% on board with Ash as a teacher! I think it's a popular headcanon that he would teach English/Literature; I could also see him teaching Mathematics or Chemistry given his extensive intellect! To me, he'd be the cool teacher who would have hordes of kids hang out in his classroom as he eats the lunch Eiji packed for him.

Not entirely opposed to him being a professor, though! I would see it as his "side gig" as he writes literary critiques for academic journals. He feels very important when someone calls him "Dr. Callenreese-Okumura."

Public librarian! A lot of people believe this is a quiet job in which you're surrounded by books and read in your downtime—No. Ash would definitely be busy planning events, reading to children; cleaning said children's pee off the reading carpet; waxing poetic about the Dewey Decimal System; helping elderly people with their taxes or technology; telling said elderly people to stop watching porn on the computers; encouraging anxiety-ridden college students; and hefting drunk people out of the building.

Bookshop owner! He can info-dump whenever he wants to anyone he wants. He also organizes book clubs at his and Eiji's home. Somehow, he's always surprised that old women show up.

Honestly, I've thought about a period in which Ash just stays home to recuperate. He'd do volunteer work (learns how to cook in the process); submit to math journal problems—not for the prize money, but for the prestige that comes with winning; walk Buddy; garden; travel; write. Basically all of the things he never got to do when he was young.

Eiji

Photojournalist or photographer. I don't think I need to explain myself here. (For type of photography? Street, architecture, or travel. He tries to bring Ash along whenever he can, though they can make the distance work.)

A "tinkerer" (as Ash would call it) as a side job! He'd fix up old vintage cameras and resell them.

Just for the "cute" element, a professor as well. Two "Dr. Callenreese-Okumuras!!!" His photography students tease him about it.

DOG GROOMER! Eiji comes home and transfers all of the hair onto Ash when they hug. Buddy is all over him because of the scent of other dogs.

Exhibition curator. He definitely has a good eye for putting pieces together to narrate a story. He'd have Ash help him with research too. (They are dweebs that bond through academia, art, and history.)

Hi if you’re still doing the submissions for 100 followers (congrats btw!) could you write down some ash headcanons you have? can be general or specific, love ur acc !!

Thank ya kindly, Anon! I'll give you some of my favorite Ash headcanons:

Ash took up the guitar when Dino tried to get him to take cello lessons. He likes to play folk songs because they remind him of summers in Cape Cod with Griffin.

Ash can sustain knife wounds and gun nicks. Paradoxically, he cries over papercuts and looks to Eiji to be coddled.

When he's out of cigarettes, he will get butts from his ash tray, salvage any tobacco, and roll a new one up.

After moving in with Eiji, he becomes much more sentimental and romantic. He daydreams about having children and living in an old-fashioned house with a family of his own.

Ash is very close to Eiji's mom. Eiji teases him by saying that she loves him more. He, quote, "knows his way around a paring knife, unlike someone."

Speaking of knives, Ash whittles wood when he can't sleep or is nervous. Sometimes he'll finish a piece in one sitting—a duck, a wolf, a rabbit—and set it on Eiji's table for him to wake up to.

Ash becomes an early riser to walk Buddy. Those two have an inseparable bond. He feeds him meat from under the dinner table when Eiji isn’t looking.

Ash loves writing handwritten letters and memos—to Eiji, when he’s away for work; to Eiji’s sister and mother; to Sing and his friends in New York; to Michael, who would send him drawings in return; to Max and Jessica, catching them up on his life in Japan.

has this been done yet

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.

The babies

BOTH Ash and Yut Lung deserved better!

he is part of your soul, as the poets say

I wish I could draw them like this more but chibis are hard

big brother ash

I don’t believe Ash is bitter about kids who have good parents, I believe Ash views the world realistically and knows that the perfect parent doesn’t exist

Ash and Michael.

Snack time with Ibe and Max 🌭☕️🥤

Another amazing art from Banana Fish (supervising) anime director Ayumi Yamada (山田 歩)

She replied to a comment that, after this (meaning after dropping the hotdogs), Max gets really angry and goes shopping again (laughs). And also that he’ll probably get yelled at.

We can probably imagine who’ll yell at him😏

Find her on Twitter —> @24_ayame✨

I will never EVER GET OVER the parallels of AshEiji teaching each other how to "shoot" 😭❤
