Summer day somewhere in Izumo.

It took me so much time to draw it that it actually got cold where I live lol.

Eiji asking to hold Ashs gun when they first met was a metaphor for consent.

Happy Halloween!

I was reading volume eight today which is probably my favorite volume (real reason is the Coney Island fight LMFAO the illustrations are sooo cool) because you get so much information on the actual underlying story (the drug) which is reeaaally interesting to me because I love fictional stories that surround government/military and is either symbolic or allusion to the real thing. Never see many fans talk about the actual storyline like the entire point of banana fish use is because the US gov is afraid of the spread of communism in South America after Nam and the correlation with mafia is to filter money through.

In Max and Ash’s conversation Ash brings up the ignorance of American citizens when it comes to government issues and there’s not really any hiccups within it either which is pretty cool to me when you think the story is coming from a Japanese person’s perspective during a time where there was no internet so she was really learning stuff from her visits, movies, articles that made it over. Point is it really blows me away sometimes that there’s not many inconsistencies on how American culture is portrayed imo (again with making a story with only limited resources)….

Also I highly recommend machine translating the guidebook. The analysis shit is really fucking cool. She basically gives whole history lessons and you really see the characters so in depth. There’s a bunch of pages on LSD, MKultra and psychological factors behind ptsd/sexual abuse that you see reflected in Ash’s character like his hatred for men or the way he reacts to things and his self depreciation especially around Eiji as he really starts going into a downward spiral towards the end of the series.

Anyway, just ordered some more books so expect scans soon!

My thoughts will echo your name, Until I see you again

These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

I came across this while searching for 'Ash Lynx memes'....

Guess I'm 'DJ Ash Lynx Memes' (such a sigma name)

[neonscandal]

I know that you're wrong for me, // gonna wish we never met on the day I leave. // I brought you down to your knees // 'cause they say that misery loves company.

It's not your fault I ruin everything // and it's not your fault I can't be what you need. // Baby, angels like you can't fly down hell with me. // I'm everything they said I would be...

I'll put you down slow, love you goodbye. // Before you let go, just one more time. // Take off your clothes, pretend that it's fine, // A little more hurt won't kill you.

Angels like you can't fly down hell with me

Like the Echo of a Snowfall

by CrumpettheAngryFerret

A canon-compliant Banana Fish fic based off this poem:

I could bear grief, if it were only thorough. If it were sharp and brief, And measured to my strongest mesh of armour, I could bear grief.

But sadness like the echo of a snowfall Upon a film of snow, Because it seems unworthy of my rapier, Too slight a foe,

Betrays me as I sit and sing at evening For happiness half won. I am undone by sifting snowflake sadness- I am undone.

hi gay people in my computer, meet my ocs 🌸

hi hii ! I'm waylyng (he/they) and I can't wait to share my art with you !

i mostly draw my vampire: the masquerade blorbos, but this is subject to hyperfixation switching. last year i (basically) only drew yut-lung lee from bananafish. i love hearing about other people's blorbos, and getting invested in their stories !

i'm a big fan of manga, and you can probably see a lot of that in my art, but my biggest inspiration is lavendertowne on youtube. i love her stylised cartoon-y look ! all the colours are so vibrant, and the highlights are so cute !

anyway this is my first blorbo seren (any/all), my first vtm baby. they're a tremere technomancer with path of conjuring; they were supposed to be a bitter and manipulative antagonist, but was therapised by their Primogen and now they're just a sweet li'l thing on a rocky redemption path. She used to be a scammer, but now she's becoming an apprentice and, for the first time, is happy she was embraced. without further ado, here are the most recent drawings !!
