I literally put a note on the part where Nona says she doesn't like gingers. In my mind they wrote down "does not like gingers????? Can't be Harrow."

love how as far as i can interpret, they're testing nona for some kind of lyctoral body-sharing necromancy background, and part of the criteria is being a lesbian so they have to notice if she talks about tits a lesbian amount.

This is how I go about my daily life, and I also have the ability to make animatics so its a blessing and a curse.

Every song reminds me of Ash and Eiji 😔

Kazuha art from a while ago! Still really happy with it.

Art from 2020. Maybe I'll redraw them, if I get the time!

Yut Lung is my least favorite character but i felt a compulsion to draw him

Thats not even on the fandom wiki yet!!!

Edit: it is. It's under breakup/divorce

When I typed "divorce" into the computer at thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com, it showed me this!!! 😭😭😭

He did, in fact, laugh at my pain

i called this and its exactly what youd expect. so fun oh my god

As a star-trek and TMBG fan, I love this!!!!!!

your style is pretty!

i use flipaclip btw and i cant think of a caption my stomach hurts

I hate drawing good frames like this and needing to delete them bc they aren't needed

Happy Ash- I'll miss you lol

I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE OMG

Saw the meme and i just had to do it. Might do a switched version as well since for these idiots it works both ways

Everyone is right about Chaos 101 lol, but here are two series.

1. "A Gang Leader as a Professor? It's More Likely than You Think" by "awesomecookies"

Words: 80,722 Works: 9 - "Just a couple of people, meeting the peculiar Mr. Aslan Jade Callenreese, and his mysterious photographer friend, Eiji Okumura. Read the different perspectives they have in life and perhaps even love which they learn along with meeting the strange duo" - Outsider POV of AshEiji where they both made it out. It's cute, and while the POV characters don't often understand the full extent of what they are witnessing, the reader does. Some NSFW fics, tagged as such, and the rest are cute!

2. "Eight Million Gods" by "Dodici"

Words: 128,003 Works: 6 - "Pushing my Ash-lives-in-Japan agenda." - Ash is struggling with his new life in Japan and is trying to believe he can recover... But it's hard. I find the last two fics are my favorite. We watch Ash make decisions that are so logical and sound to him but are just not how normal people work. The humor is perfect and the heartfelt moments real.

And just as everyone is recommending Chaos 101 generally, I would recommend Dodici generally too, although I don't know how many of their fics are set post cannon.

Enjoy!

Anybody have any good post canon banana fish fics where Ash and Eiji are together? Like romantically?

Chapters: 1/1

Word Count: 1896

"Those weren't people, Ash," Eiji says. His voice is quiet, but dark. "Those were monsters. They're not like you and I. They have no compassion or morals. Anyone who would do that to a child, to you? They are not human." Ash wants to scream. At Eiji's naïveté, at the world. At a world that's hurt him in so many ways, so many times. At a world that has people—yes, people—people like Dino and Foxx and Marvin and Kippard and his coach and so many forgotten names, so many cruel people in it. Because regardless of what Eiji thinks, those were people. They were all people. Eiji just doesn't understand quite what evils people are capable of.

A discussion of humanity.

Ash ⭐

8 and a half hours, 89 layers, 17 folders.

It felt really good to make and commit to an art piece again. Even if I hated the background.

I love this book

I'm glad this book is just as confused as I am

The confusion continues

I'm glad this book is just as confused as I am

I'm glad this book is just as confused as I am

This was exactly what I wanted, thank you

When do you guys think Ash and Eiji actually fell for each other?

Did I go and read (and reread for many) all of these?

Maybe.

drop your devastating banana fish fanfics list bestie 🙇🏻‍♀️

AHSHWJEVJ YES OMG thank you so much for this ask!!! i have a very very long list of fanfics that i love so im not gonna put every single one here, but here’s a list of my favorites :)

note: 1) of course please be mindful of the tws— most of these have the usual list of the tws associated with ash’s trauma; 2) i don’t read anything that complies with the canonical ending cause i cannot handle that lol; 3) the first half of this list is just purely devastating, and then the second half is mostly just hurt/comfort; 4) the order in this doesn’t mean anything

I fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended (by ihavenomorals): very shorter-centric; retells the canon events in his perspective (with it being heavily implied that he’s in love with ash); definitely very devastating, i cried multiple times while reading it

dead birds and bloodhounds (by ihavenomorals): also very shorter-centric lol; incredibly devastating for similar reasons as the last one (i also really really loved the ending of this one)

Streetlight angel. (by chaos101): this one’s also shorter-centric; a lot of pre-canon shorter’s thoughts about ash; i do not have words to describe how much i loved the whole “streetlight angel” thing

New York, New York 1980 (by wbss21): ash-centric; talks about precanon ash living on the streets (no shorter); genuinely so so heartbreaking

Just offscreen. (by chaos101): focuses on ash; please be very very careful with the warnings, this really graphic and can be very triggering; i almost feel weird recommending this one cause it’s not really meant to be read for enjoyment, but it’s very well-written and really really impactful so i do want to include it; almost threw up the first time i read this (and i mean that as a compliment to the writing, not in the sense that i personally found it triggering), it was so incredibly devastating and gut-punching

how strong the blood (by ihavenomorals): nadia-centric; it’s about nadia’s experience raising shorter on her own; one of the only fanfics i’ve read that focuses on nadia and i loved it so so much

Odour of Chrysanthemums (by nyanja14): eiji’s-mom-centric; eiji’s mom’s perspective on ash and his relationship with eiji after they move to japan; this was so cool ahdhwje, i loved how much depth and backstory they gave to eiji’s mom; one of the less devastating ones on this list, but it’s still so sad in its own right

like a peach (by Quintessence): asheijiii; eiji takes care of ash’s wounds (canon-compliant, takes place around when they rescue ash from dino) and they talk about how he sees himself; definitely a lot more hurt/comfort than pure devastation but the way ash sees himself is so heartbreaking :(

Hydrangea (by Bleed_Peroxide): jessica-centric; first half is jessica’s thoughts as she gets to know more about ash and then second half is an expansion on that one scene where jessica asks ash about what foxx did to him; also more hurt/comfort lol, but i love found family sooo much

Even that could be forgiven. Even Ash. (by chaos101): focuses on max and ash; obviously had to include this since i literally requested it lmao (don’t get me wrong tho– that’s not the only reason why it’s here; it’s here cause i love this fic a lot :3); ash thinks max is going to punish him for talking back to him and max comforts him; hurt/comfort

You’ve paid this world more than enough. (by chaos101): also focuses on max and ash; pretty similar to the last one but i just had to include this cause i love it so so much; hurt/comfort

Safe and Sound (by Dodici): focuses on shorter and ash; pretty short but so so impactful (literally took my breath away ahdvwjeh)

I wish that things had been different. (by chaos101): focuses on ash and griffin; it’s about ash’s reunion with griffin after he starts recovering from the effects of banana fish; this was so emotional and well-written abdvwjbd

Down toward the Healing (by Dodici): asheiji; part of a series (i recommend the series as a whole honestly, but definitely this fanfic in particular) called Eight Million Gods; it’s about ash struggling to find a therapist who works for him; the writing is so beautiful in this and i personally find it somewhat devastating in the sense that it’s a big reminder that healing takes time and a lot of effort

Feed My Body. Feed My Soul (by Wings_and_Feet): asheiji; it does have one (consensual) explicit scene, which is important to the plot but can also probably be skipped over if you’re not comfortable reading that; talks about ash’s relationship with food through eiji’s perspective (please be careful with the trigger warnings)

To Sleep; Perchance to Dream (by Wings_and_Feet): asheiji; it’s about ash and eiji’s post-canon life in japan and eiji’s family’s reactions to eiji being ash back home; literally one of my favorite post-canon japan fics ever, it’s soooo good; a lot of hurt/comfort

Pain Management (by Wings_and_Feet): asheiji; discusses ash’s struggles with addiction as a result of his experiences at Club Cod (not elaborating on this cause of the triggering content); i haven’t read many fics that talk about this, so i thought this was really interesting lol (and also it was very well-written)

Just because I love you. (by chaos101): asheiji; ash sickfic combined with ash and eiji talking about the horrible “he’s not your salvation” stuff blanca said to ash; genuinely one of my favorite sickfics ever (although that’s not really entirely the focus of the fanfic but like still)

How to love someone back. (by chaos101): asheiji; i saved the best for last :3; this is a character study of ash and it’s literally one of my favorite fanfics ever – please go read it, it’s so good aksjdke

bonuses :D (these count as bonuses since you requested devastating fics and these are pretty fluffy lol):

What you’ve been waiting for. (by chaos101): professor ash!! this fic is so sweet 🥹 i love it so much, it’s one of my comfort fics

the Childhood at Eighteen series (by armjail): asheiji; these are my other two comfort fics, they’re both so incredibly wholesome 🥹🥹

Absolutely feels like this. I only am getting to the part when things are making sense.
