Imagine having to explain to someone who has never watched Banana Fish how it's one of the most gut wrenching and traumatizing media you have ever experienced and then showing them this picture

Life is so unfair there are so many shitty shows out there with a dub and Banana Fish never got one and its been 6 years now

[raddestrose]

Everyday I think I’m strong enough to look through Banana Fish tag, and everyday I am proven wrong

[bunnyboy-juice]

ngl. every time i see someone talk about a fairly standard/innocuous bong or pipe that isnt that structurally complex and they talk about the way it would be "impossible" to keep it clean my concern for the ways y'all treat your glass (and therefore your lungs) rises by 10 notches........

[ahfuck-why]

listen.

i cant believe they first had yut lung wrap his arms around shorter in the introduction and then have that first meeting and identity reveal and perfect set up for enemies to lovers / star crossed lovers and then they went ahead and did THAT with my boy shorter?????? and long after that had yut lung hate eiji for shorter basically saying he was wrong to think that yut lung seemed like eiji because he's a horrible person while eiji is great????? which (once fucking again) reminds me of (seriously i cant stop thinking about it) the focus on the scene where shorter's knife ends up cutting some of yut lung's long ass hair after that whole manhandled on the bed scene

i just- i have so many feelings

there was so much potential for shorter and yut lung but they decided nah, we'd rather [redacted] the guy

what the fuck.

[thiscatiscreepy]

Other people creaturefying the mechs: soooo their ears are longer and pointier, I'll give them a lil tail with some fur at the end, slightly sharper teeth would look good, maybe they'll even have some scales, aww they look so cute :)

Me creaturefying the mechs: what if Ivy was a huge praying mantis.

Black Lagoon: Mr Chang, Sing Soo Ling

Balalikia watches coldly as her comrades pummel each of the insolent little brats. Sing sits there near tears protesting. 

“ For someone who claims to care about their men, you certainly didn’t hesitate to drag them into a hopeless situation” Chang said smoking his standard cigar. 

“ What was I supposed to do let Shorter go unavenged?” 

“ See, I don’t think this is about your dead cousin at all. If you were that devoted to vengeance. Then why ally with Ash in the first place?” 

“ It wasn’t Ash’s faul!” 

“ You know There’s nothing I hate more in this world then hypocracy. And you New York criminals seem convinced your shit smells like roses” he pauses  “ Your just a little boy chasing his idol around. Its not about justice or revenge.” 

The brat goes quiet as the truth is thrown so casually in his face. 

“ You gang members are so obsessed with your symbols” Balakilia taunted. “ Your guns and your leaders as these invincible gods” she lets her contempt bleed through. 

“ I was just trying to free Ash!” Sing protested  

“ What did you think would happen if word got out the Lee family couldn’t even control their own gang? Mr Chang asked him 

“ But that guy was destroying Chinatown thanks to him. Citizens couldn’t even walk safely in Daylight!” 

“ I’m sure that had nothing to do with you and Ash turning New York into a war zone,” Balalikia said sarcastically. “ You create chaos and the vultures crawl out to prey on the civilians  in the wake of the destruction… especially in a city already weak from destitution.” 

She pauses 

“ What do you think would happen to Chinatown if The Lee family got wiped out?   If you were luckily you’d get over run by one of the other gangs. If you weren’t it would be as if you and your boys had never existed”  

Sing blanches. 

“ Starting to get it are we?” Mr Chang asked him 

“ Sir please kill me if you must be spare my brother, Sing is still young he wasn’t aware” Lao comes forward and bows. 

“ Noble sentiment but your not my concern, Yut Lung will decided what to do with you” Mr Chang said. 

“ He’s going kill us” one gang member whimpered. 

  Balalikia grabbed the gang member by the throat and slambed him to the ground “  

“ Han!” 

Sing yelled he sprang up  just as Balakilia suspected . She smiled as she kicked him straight back down to the ground and grabbed him by the hair. “ You don’t deserve mercy” she said with a quiet mence 

“ You backstabbed your own leader, and nearly put him in the crosshairs of every twisted pervert in New York! ” she paused  “ If it were me, i’d have you choose which half of your guys die. You’d pick out every name and look them in the eyes, as my comrade's bullets found their  marks” 

Balalikia emphasized watching Sing’s eyes fill with terror. 

“ I think Mrs Balalikia put it best….” Chang smiled….

Yut Lung paused after his proposal  Revy and Shenhua on either side of him. 

Cain Blood looked at him  “ I don’t trust you, So ’m coming with you”  he starts for the limbo with a smirk “  Besides, I never rode in one of these things” 

Revy grinned. 

Yut Lung chuckles and opens the door for Cain “ After you Cain Blood” he replied. 

Cain slides in and reclines on the seats  “ Soft as a baby’s butt” he sighed. 

“Champagne?” Yut Lung asked as the driver offered them two glasses. 

“ You seriously think i’m going to drink something you prepared?” 

“ I think its mere tradition to seal the deal with a private toast” 

Cain sniffs and dips his finger in the glass. “ You’d have a way to mask the taste….better not risk it” he sets his glass down mournfully. 

“ Weak little girly drink, now Rum that’s a real fucking drink!” Revy exclaimed. 

“ I’m more of a cold beer guy” Cain retorts. “ What about you salaryman?” 

“ Anything you find at a bar, social drinking came with the job” Rock exclaimed. 

“ Its true” Revy threw her arm over Rock’s shoulder affectionately  “ This guy did a drinking competition against me once, straight up vodka.” 

Yut Lung nods as the driver starts the car before downing his own glass. 

“ Say how old are you?” Cain Blood asked  “ You look smaller up close” 

“ Does it matter?” 

Cain looked sad for a moment  “ No I suppose it doesn’t” 

Its not that long before they reach their destination. 

Yut Lung has one of his bodyguards remove a case from the trunk. Which he takes. 

Balalikia and Mr Chang greets him. 

“ Hello, Yut Lung you look slightly more sleep-deprived then usual,”  Chang asked  “ I see you brought Cain Blood” 

“I just want to make sure Sing gets freed, like Yut Lung Lee, promised” 

“ He has every right to be skeptical” Yut Lung interjects. 

“ Of course gentlemen this way” Balalikia leads them to Sing and his men’s cell. 

Yut Lung’s breath catches in his throat Sing is covered with purple bruises and  has circles under his eyes he’s paler then usual. His boys don’t look much better black and blue and battered. 

Cain’s eyes widen. 

“ Sing?” Yut Lung asked struggling not to ask how he is or offer ointment. He clears his throat “ Its come to my attention….that I was not fair to you and your gang” he pauses as Rock gives him a nod  “ So please accept this token as an apology” 

Yut Lung brings out the head of Dino Golzine from the steel case, ignoring the way his stomach is starting to turn at the sight of it. 

Several of Sings guys look shocked, A few turn green. 

Lao gapes  “ Is that?” 

“ I know you wanted to do it yourself. But Shorter was one of my men as well. So It wouldn’t be innaprorite for me to make this my gift to you. I’m hoping their won’t be anymore bad blood between us” he said casually. Then he holds open the jail cell door “ Your free to go Cain Blood will make sure you get…..” 

Cain rushes past him and steadies Sing  “ I gotcha, baby” he said. 

“ Cain….I think I fucked up” Sing said softly. 

“Shhh shhh its ok, lets get you out of Alcatraz and cleaned up” the older boy soothed. 

“ Before you take Sing one more thing” Yut Lung walks up to Sing and slaps him across the face. 

Lao rushes forward “ Furiously what are you…..” 

Yut Lung slaps him as well, and goes around and strikes each of Sing’s remaining men across the face.

 “ If any of you ever betray me again, especially in public…..I’ll make each of you dig your own graves…..before you lay in them….understood?” he asked feeling a bit better 

There are nods and voiced yes Sir’s. 

Then Yut Lung watches them all file out before following them…..

ASFJFSFJ when irl the average age of being a US-vietnam soldier was 19/22 then you have Griffin “born in 1957, in Vietnam in 1973 at earliest” Callenreese being SIXTEEN at that point of time, a literal baby shipped to the other side of the world either alongside other babies (Max) or with other adults all just for the sake of getting money to raise Ash n giving him a good life which was never even possible bc of horrible things outside your circumstances so all of your mental trauma at best was for nothing and at worst open the gateways for even more terror… rip Griffin Callrenreese you could never be truly acknowledged

[bananafishdepression]

I like overthinking about main character's signature colors that they mostly wear so let's dig in

Ash- color red. Red is the color of passion, burning fire. Someone who's red coded is described to be hot headed, without much patience. Ash is sometimes seen wearing red jackets or hoodies, but most of the time he wears red converse. Red can also be color of love, and we know Ash doesn't really care if somebody hurts him as long as his loved ones are safe.

He also wears green, a color that isn't excatly the opposite of red but red cancells out green. Green is the color of envy, like how Ash envies Eiji for being able to fly and run away from his problems. Therefore, Ash mostly wears green around Eiji only.

Mostly, he wears a lot of white and I think that's a interesting choice. Someone said it's easy to wash off blood if it's stained on white fabric, but I like to think how Ash is such a dark character with a horrible past and yet, his body features are very light, as well as his clothing choices, where Eiji's the complete opposite, having dark features and his clothing choices that are mostly in darker colors.

Eiji- blue. Blue is the opposite of red, and naturally Eiji is the very opposite of Ash. He's calm, kind and honest. Blue is the color of waves that extinguishe hot fire, just like Eiji's warmness and honesty that made Ash feel safe and complete. But, blue is also the color of sadness, which followed Eiji years after Ash's death.

He also likes pink! Pink is a shade of red, showing he can be as stubborn and obstinate like Ash, but not as much as him. It shows he can be like Ash at some moments, but he still keeps his true personality and doesn't really look up to him, he rather wishes to be on the same page as him even thought that's probably impossible.

And like Ash, he wears a lot of green too. Eiji also envies Ash, for being able to stand up on his feet all by himself when he falls down, while he literally had Ibe drag him to USA to recover from his depression. Besides envy, green is also a color of comfort. Green brings us peace, like watching nature that makes us calm down. Green is also a combination of blue and yellow. Blue is his signature color, and yellow is the color of happiness and innocence (kinda ironic how he represents happiness and depression at the same time)
