Name: Flying Banana
Debut: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Can you believe Flying Banana does not have an official render? I guess I can. But it is still kind of sad! I like them! So I made this Fantendo-style custom render to try to do it a bit more justice. I hope you like it. It took a whole a few minutes!
Tumblr media
I like Flying Banana. It’s a banana, and it’s flying, and are you gonna go catch it? No, you are not, because it is not collectible! When Flying Banana appears, it will be followed by a trail of normal bananas, and collecting THOSE will turn the Flying Banana into some kind of goody to collect. It is generous, but it must test you first, to see if you are worthy of its reward... will you make Flying Banana proud? I know I would like it to have a good opinion of me.
Tumblr media
Hm? What’s that sound? Why, it’s the LORE BELL! Yeah, that was really all Flying Banana does in game, and now it’s time already to discuss the Lore of this fruit, which does indeed exist. The first secret stage of the game, Zip-Line Shrine, is entirely themed around Flying Bananas! I think it is safe to assume this was left by an earlier Kong civilization on the island. There are massive stone statues of them all over the place, and at the very beginning of the stage, DK unearths a trio of statues that open their mouths, releasing a swarm of Flying Bananas unto the earth. Be free!
Tumblr media
I think it is very funny to see them in a group like this. Like bugs. Imagine someone being completely jaded to Flying Bananas and seeing them as a nuisance.
Tumblr media
Post-Rare Donkey Kong definitely puts a focus on pure gameplay over fleshing out the world and characters as the original DKC trilogy did, but Flying Banana feels, to me, like a sort of call-back to some of those original elements. In the past, there have been Banana Birds and Banana Fairies as mystical, banana-based creatures who help the Kongs. Flying Banana, then, with the background lore implications, feels like another version of this concept, even if it’s ultimately just a platforming collectible! And it feels like there is even more value in this new DK world beyond just Funny Animals, even if Funny Animals is always a great thing.
Tumblr media
And then there is the Mario Kart Banana Peel. Another banana with eyes! Might they be related? Even if Flying Banana has differently-styled eyes, it definitely does still bring to mind a Mario Power-Up. It is like a dash of Super Mario in Donkey Kong’s domain! I don’t think Flying Banana is directly related to these specific Banana Peels, since these ones have a mouth and all, but that could just as easily be attributed to an art style thing, especially since the banana statues in the shrine have mouths. Could Flying Banana’s true identity be a Para-Banana...?
Tumblr media
That was a bunch of rambling. Look! This banana has a mustache! Heehee.

Königskondor L.1 - "Guardian of the High Passes"
Tumblr media
Role: High Altitude Scout Served With: Kingdom of South Loring First Flight: 1596 Strengths: All the Bells and Whistles Weaknesses: Sticker Price
Description:
Dozens of small geo-states prior to the Great War had no aircraft industries of their own and had to buy aircraft from the Great Powers at extortionate prices. In addition to usually being obsolete surplus, these aircraft might not fit the mission profile required by their operators.
The small and mountainous Kingdom of South Loring was affected particularly badly. With all their population centres at least a kilometre above sea level, the Gotha and Macchi aircraft they could get weren’t suitable. In the last years of the Great War, they studied these designs and built their own, complete with a two-stage supercharger.
The L.1 is rarely seen, but those who’ve faced it know it is a deceptively deadly machine. Highly streamlined, its odd and upward-swept tail gives it a very distinct appearance, and it is far tougher than it looks due to thick wing spars and robust construction, and hidden under its cowl is a third machine gun firing through the spinner. A glass floor panel makes it easy to stalk prey from above.
While the Kingdom of South Loring no longer exists, there are several small republics in the region who use the machine exclusively. The heavily padded and reinforced cockpit is particularly valued, as it makes ditching the machine very safe.

Banana fly, Telostylinus lineolatus, Neriidae
Neriid larvae develop in rotting vegetable matter, including bark and fruit. Neriid adults tend to aggregate on rotting vegetable matter or damaged tree trunks, and are also attracted to flowers or other sources of sugar. T. lineolatus is distributed widely through Asia, Australia, and many Pacific islands.

I. Really like Banana Eel... Do you have any funny facts about him. Also I would give Lady Plantain a kiss if she let me
Oh, that I do! Let's go down the list of lil fun facts 1) He attracts symbols of bad luck. Thanks to his curse, black cats and ravens mysteriously start flocking to him. When he walks by a horse shoe decoration, it's "loose screw" makes it flip upside down!
Tumblr media
2) He has a habit of inspecting cookies he meets often whenever he can. The reason why?
Tumblr media
He wants to make sure when he makes sculptures of them, they're accurate! He doesn't show these to anyone, it's just something he enjoys doing to pass the time.
Tumblr media
3) Depending on his mood, the visibility of his pupils change! This isn't always negative nor intentional.
Tumblr media
That's it for the facts.. But on another note-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since you ask so nicely, here's a kiss from the spitfire herself! Im so happy you all like her HEHHEEHH because I do toooooo~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope you're okay with a bit of calamity rubbing off on you after you give him a hug, bud, cause that's what you're gonna get. Hence the confusion.

.
✰ FAVORITE FLUFF

Our Dining Table
The Third Ending
Sasaki and Miyano
Hirano and Kagiura
Our Sunny Days
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
OUR DINING TABLE
Awwwwww this one was so cute!! I read and also watched the live action which was great ♡ I usually don't get attached to shorter mangas because you don't spend as much time with the story and characters, but because I watched the live action with this one it's stuck in my heart. Super soft romance ♡
.
✰ FAVORITE BOTTOM
And the nominees are...
Seo-an | The Pizza Delivery Man and the Gold Palace (2022 winner)
Victor | Liveta (2021 winner)
Sangwoo | Semantic Error
Seon-Woo | Punch Drunk Love
Yeonwu | Banana Scandal
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
SEON-WOO | PUNCH DRUNK LOVE
He really stole my heart with his hilarious daydreams and fantasies, but I grew to love this character even more because of his sweet (yet sexually charged) nature and the fact that he's genuine and earnest. So cute and just an overall unique character ♡
.
✰ FAVORITE TOP
And the nominees are...
Giovanni | Hold Me Tight (2021 winner)
Dooshik | Pearl Boy
Ash | Define the Relationship
Juwon | High Clear
Yoonseul | The Third Ending
And the winner is...

GIOVANNI | HOLD ME TIGHT
Giovanni again!! ♡ It was super tough to choose from this list of amazing men but as I've said many, many times, Giovanni has my whole heart. I simply love him.
Like a lot of the tops on this list (I love the green flags the most ♡) he's different from the typical top who's a company president/director. He doesn't care about money, power, or really anything else except the ones he loves - which is mainly just Felix. One of my favorite things about Giovanni is that he'll drop absolutely anything to go to Felix's side, no questions asked. And sometimes a few questions would be a good thing.
.

Dooshik & Jooha | Pearl Boy (2021 and 2022 winner)
Skylar & Cirrus | Lost in the Cloud

Woo-won & Seo-an | The Pizza Delivery Man & the Gold Palace
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
DOOSHIK & JOOHA | PEARL BOY
Dooshik & Jooha again!! ♡ It was so hard to choose from this list!! But if you've read Pearl Boy, you know these two are the epitome of ride or die. On top of that, they're also so many other things, like adorable, awkward, funny, silly, and incredibly sexy. I absolutely LOVED their awkward and silly beginning and both of their determination throughout the story to be with each other and care for each other ♡♡
(Yes I have six in this category but I couldn't take any of these off the list!!)
.
✰ FAVORITE SIDE COUPLE
And the nominees are...
Potato & Heesung | Jinx
Sys & Randolph | King's Maker: Triple Crown
Deisel & Ein | Wolf in the House
Taeman & Da-hyuk | Killer Crush
Seo & Do-Hyeok | My Suha (side chapters)
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
SEO & DO-HYEOK | MY SUHA (SIDE CHAPTERS)
I'm kind of surprised this won, but I can't lie. I ate these side chapters up. Every week I looked forward to seeing if these two were going to fight, f*ck, or fight while f*cking. I didn't think it would end so soon and abruptly. I was also hoping for a different ending. But I'm happy we got this story in the first place because I don't think anyone expected these two characters to interact, I'm glad we got to see it. And maybe we'll see more of them someday? A girl can dream.
.
✰ COUPLE I MOST WANT TO BE IN A THROUPLE WITH
And the nominees are...
Our Sunny Days
Define the Relationship
The Pizza Delivery Man and The Gold Palace
Pearl Boy
Hold Me Tight
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
DEFINE THE RELATIONSHIP
:'( Sadly none of these will become a reality, but if I could choose a relationship to be welcomed into with open arms, it would be with these two beautiful men. Two alphas? Are you kidding me? Two alphas, one top one bottom... yes please!!
.
✰ FAVORITE MAIN CHARACTER
And the nominees are...
Seon-Woo | Punch Drunk Love
Juwon | High Clear
Yoonseul | The Third Ending
Taeman | Killer Crush
Shin | Shutline
And the winner is...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TAEMAN | KILLER CRUSH
Taeman ♡♡♡ we've got ourselves a killer / babygirl! Really the perfect example of 'get you a man who can do both.' He'll kill a wild boar to save you no sweat then cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie with you. He's shy and blushes a lot, he's also calm, cool, and collected when he needs to be. He is everything to me ♡ Looking forward to re-reading Killer Crush soon before the next season comes out!!
.
✰ FAVORITE SIDE CHARACTER
And the nominees are...
Deisel | Wolf in the House
Woojin | Lucky Paradise
Sys | King's Maker: Triple Crown
Heesung | Jinx
Potato | Jinx
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
SYS | KING'S MAKER / KING'S MAKER: TRIPLE CROWN
Where do I start? I love him ♡ I love everything about him. I love his cuteness and his cheerful energy. I fucking love his dom side, his choice of outfits for himself and others, his taste in men. What an icon. I'm sure I'll have much more to say after actually reading season 3.
.
✰ FAVORITE BOY
And the nominees are...
Kim Dan | Jinx
Dooshik | Pearl Boy
Giovanni | Hold Me Tight
Yoonseul | The Third Ending
Juwon | High Clear
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
JUWON | HIGH CLEAR
I love this boy so much! So cute, so funny, incredibly awkward, and so freaking sexy. I love his tough energy in the beginning and his more recent soft top energy. His chibis kill me every single time. And I think it's well known by now that characters with red hair like this are my weakness (>ω<)
.
✰ FAVORITE TOXIC BL
And the nominees are...
Twittering Birds Never Fly
Low Tide in Twilight
Jinx
Under the Green Light
My Suha (side chapters)
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
TWITTERING BIRDS NEVER FLY
How can I not choose Twittering Birds when I've been obsessed with it for like 3 years? I re-read it a few months ago and cannot get enough of these two. I love it. I need more. I pray for a happy ending - though not anytime soon. I cannot get enough of their tension and the recent chapters!!!! ⁂((✪o✪))⁂ I'm so excited to see what we'll see from them this year.
.
✰ SUING FOR EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
PEARL BOY
I bawled my eyes out after seeing one tiktok of these two. The ending... while technically happy... had me in tears. Really, I was in distress throughout the entire series. And also the ending could have been happier and more clear in my opinion. But was it all worth it? Yes. Would I do it again? Ideally I would read it all in one go, but still yes.
.
✰ FAVORITE NEW BL
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
OUR SUNNY DAYS
Ahhhhhhh!!! I'm so happy about this new BL!! So wholesome, so cute, SO FUNNY!! Not even 10 chapters in and I already adored all three of them. So much warmth ♡ I would read 100+ chapters about them just going about their daily lives.
The author apologized in chapter 22(?) because we had to wait so long for spicier chapters - first, I did not once feel like I was waiting too long for spicy chapters, I wasn't even thinking about that, I was just happy and second, dear author, you never have to apologize for anything, you're creating a masterpiece here. I already know it's going to be one of my all time favorites ♡♡♡
.
✰ FAVORITE ONGOING BL
And the winner is...
Tumblr media
SEKAI-ICHI HATSUKOI / THE WORLD'S GREATEST FIRST LOVE: THE CASE OF RITSU ONODERA
Oh my god... I read this for the first time this year, not expecting much but to my surprise I enjoyed every second of it 0_0
It was just so fun! Ritsu was hilarious and relatable (minus the nepotism), maybe controversial, but I love Takano ♡ That man just wants Ritsu's love, he's got it so bad.
I loved reading about all of the side characters and couples too ♡♡ I will be reading Junjou Romantica and then re-reading this and then probably watching both animes. And by then, maybe, finally, Ritsu will have confessed.
.
✰ FAVORITE BL THAT ENDED THIS YEAR
And the winner is...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
HOLD ME TIGHT, BANANA SCANDAL, -AND- SEMANTIC ERROR
I couldn't decide!!! How was I supposed to decide between these three??? There were so many great BLs that ended this year (ノAヽ)
Hold Me Tight - Wow, 194 episodes and I would have kept reading as far as the author wanted to go. This one has a special place in my heart because I remember exactly where I was when I started it and binged probably the whole first season. I've since re-read the entire thing, and despite how long it is, I was so sad when I got to the last chapter. One of my all time favorites. I love Giovanni and Felix so much ♡♡ I love their love ♡♡ (Leegang was my favorite side character). Funny, heartwarming, loving, wholesome ♡
Banana Scandal - I am so so SO glad that we got a season 3 ♡ Even with 190 episodes, similarly, I would have read three more seasons. I loved Taehee and Dojin in season one so much, but Yeonwoo and Taehwan stole my heart just as much at the end of season 2 and in season 3!! I will definitely be re-reading this again ♡ and recommending it forever. Sweet, funny, cute, love these boys ♡
Semantic Error - which just ended like last week it feels like. I'm so sad seeing this one end right now, I want to see more of Sangwoo and Jaeyoung ♡ I feel like there was some more to tell - I'm really hoping for a few side chapters. But overall, duh, I LOVED reading this. So funny, had me hooked from the very beginning. Enjoyed the art style, the concept, and of course the characters ♡♡ I will be re-reading this one again someday. And maybe checking out the novel...
For all of these and other ones that ended this year, I'll be so excited to read future works by these authors!!! ♡♡♡
.
✰ FAVORITE BL OF 2023
And the winner is...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SASAKI AND MIYANO -AND- HIRANO AND KAGIURA
I cheated again and included both of these for best of 2023! I think we all know why and know that I couldn't possible choose one over the other.
Sasaki & Miyano I started in the beginning of 2022 and immediately read Hirano and Kagiura after I caught up and also immediately watched the anime. And now we have a movie!
In addition to being an adorable and wholesome romance, both of these were hilarious. Miyano is my favorite, and one of my favorite panels of him is when he called Hirano an uke to his face ʱªʱªʱª(ᕑᗢूᓫ∗) Miyano you crazy fudanshi!!
The tension with both of these couples!! So freaking soft ♡ and the way I know we're all screeching at just hand holding and little touches is delightful ♡
.

Thank you for reading!
