"I've been thinking - and I have a question."

"Oh, man, how weird is that?" Shorter throws his arms in the air. "I also have a question for you."

"Oh!" What a coincidence! A hopeful voice in the back of Eiji's head wonders if Ash had asked Shorter about him.

"Mind if I go first?"

"Of course not!" It's the polite thing to do, after all.

"Great." Shorter leans forward, staring through Eiji over the rim of his sunglasses.

"I just wanna ask - have you ever held a gun?"

There’s a knock on his door, and he throws his phone to the side like a teen caught looking for porn. If that’s the servant’s first thought, though, it doesn’t show on his face - he simply bows at Ash, who cranes his neck to see.

“His Majesty is waiting for you,” Is all he says before making a swift exit.

Ash sits up, gripping his bedsheets with an intensity that turns his knuckles a sickly white. The silk makes him shiver. Heading over to his mirror, he smooths out the wrinkles in his suit, adjusting a few hairs here and there. The gilded border frames his reflection like a painting. A pretty pathetic one, at that - he hopes the eye bags won’t be visible on camera.

Fic: Bundtlets

“Is this- is this for me?” Amusement drips despite his calm attempt to speak, and Ash bristles in indignation.

“I’ll never cook again.”

“Oh, you don’t mean that.”

“I do. Fuck cooking and fuck this holiday.”

A wonderfully sweet thank you to @lazynina for the commission! I love it 😍 support and commission them!

[POSSIBLE BANANA FISH SPOILERS??]

y'all ever think abt why ash cared so much for skip? maybe it's because skip is the child that ash never got to be

[sparklyfirepaper]

Now imagine how Ash felt when Skip died in front of him, to save him

He must've felt like he'd failed him

[norisquared]

i think that's the reason why ash acts completely different towards kids in general, because no one had treated him with that kindness, except griff

[sparklyfirepaper]

@norisquared He was drafted in the manga I think

Images from the new Banana Fish stage play. The actors playing the role of Ash and Eiji look so good. ☺

Some more images featuring Ibe, Shorter, Yut Lung, Arthur and Sing's actors from the play.

Here's Max and Golzine's stage actors.

[deimosatellite]

[yikesthesebikes]

GOD, ok. So, I drew Eiji. In the style of the manga, that's about it. Enjoy?

(Maybe, Eiji comes to apologize to Ash at the library, but he wears 'fancy' and trendy outfit. Idk have fun i guess)

[niwa-mura]

I was tagged by @internet-schvitzinq thank you bby!! <3

Name: I don't like posting too much identifying stuff on here, most people just call me Niwa if they need to reference me

Pronouns: He/him ftm

Zodiac Sign: I'm that one everyone hates for some reason

Height: 5′7" or 5'8" somewhere around there

Nationality: United States hmmmm

Fave Band: Not really a band, but SYML if my all-time favorite musician. The Midnight is a close second and I guess they'd be closer to a band. I don't know. I like too many

Fave Artist: In terms of like, drawing/painting/etc.? Uhhh I really can't choose, I'm sorry... I think there are too many I love (again.) I guess if we're talking about artists in industry, I really love Ishida Sui's art style. Hayashi Akemi, too. I have a big appreciation for Junji Ito, too

When Blog Was Created: July 1st, 2016, allegedly. I've had tumblr blogs before this one, though

Last Thing I Googled: How to find out when my tumblr was created...

Lucky Numbers: uhhhh 7, 4, 11, 9, 12, 8

Other Blogs: I have some but they are secret (because I don't use them and I feel ashamed...)

Reason For Choosing URL: I've been through a few but I sort of settled on this one. It's from what the Japanese fandom calls Garden of Light Eiji, "niwa" meaning garden. I felt a really strong connection to Eiji when I read Garden of Light and I ended up crying myself to sleep...... v__v'

How Many I’m Following: 561, I think a lot of them are inactive blogs though

How Many Followers I have: 862 (probably a lot are porn bots pffff)

Average # Hours of Sleep: I have bipolar depression so it's anywhere from none to 14 hours

Instruments: When I was a kid I played the flute but I was really bad at it. Other than that, I like to sing

Currently Wearing: One of those parody shirts that has "my first knife fight" on it with an illustration of two kids fighting (lmao hi Ash and Arthur?), pajama bottoms with some random eighties slogans, and Lion King socks (it's one of my favorite movies)

Dream Trip: I want to go to Izumo, I didn't get a chance while I was living in Japan but I'll be moving back there for work soon. I'd also love to go to Okinawa and Kyoto!

Fave Food: I want kebabdon and butter chicken curry with nan T^T

Fave Song: Fear of the Water by SYML but it's hard for me to choose only one. Close behind that one are probably Vampires and Crystalline both by The Midnight, I'm weak to the saxophone

I'm skimming the ending of Garden of Light because I needed a reference for Eiji's house at Cape Cod

and I don't know how I never saw this, maybe I was just too traumatized to process what I was reading at this point but

who the fuck is Gorby??

[niwa-mura]

WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE

[darkdawnlight]

What. What is this.

[darkdawnlight]

Hi my friend and I have decided that this is a stuffed animal Griffin gave to Ash, and then Eiji took him after Ash died and now just loves his life with him.

Not really a fan of this picrew but the butterfly wings or big bow on the back as an option is a plus.The doctor’s white coat (no need for explaination but i still wanna), i’ll explain. lately, i have been realising my interest in psychology more specifically personality disorders. but i still don’t know if i really wanna pursue that before getting into filming so yeah, just want to vent on that.

tag game!

Rules: Tag 9 people you want to get to know better. (no pressure to tag that many people of course)

Thank you @crown--stitch for the tag!!

Favourite colour: I alternate between teal and pink, i can't really choose just one... I really like them together!

Currently reading: Junji Ito's Smashed collection! I love his horror.

Last song: i love you by Billie Eilish while thinking about Ash & Eiji...

Last movie: Hmm I wanna say it was Raya and The Last Dragon

Last show: I'm actually watching the final season of Castlevania right now lmao

Sweet, spicy, or savoury?: This one is hard for me because I like all in different situations... Probably savory if I had to pick just one

Craving: A clear mind and my gf

Tea or coffee?: I love both about the same but I also know coffee probably does nothing to help my anxiety so I'll go with tea

Tagging: @aishakami @commodorecliche @pan-xichen @oof-bro (let me know if I should tag your main instead) @instantlyglitteryturtle @yutlungapologist @ashandeiji @norisquared @glamorous-thespian @thepebblestuckinyourshoe @internet-schvitzinq @shesfuckedinthehead (or your other blog!)

And anyone else!! Again, please tag me because I love to see everyone's answers!

[norisquared]

Favourite colour: yellow or green! i realise how gross they sound but it has to be a very specific one

Currently reading: circe by madeline miller apparently it's even better than tsoa which made me sob sm?? so high expectations here

Last song: spotify says out like a light 2 by the honesysticks (when will they complete the trilogy with an out like a light 3???)

Last movie: i tried to watch brokeback mountain but it's so cowboy and like. so the last film i actually finished watching was after we collided and it was ironic i swear

Last show: ughhhh pretty sure it was love victor in preparation for the new season?? (just wanna say that they should have made victor bi btw bc it looked like he truly loved his gf and they got along well and i geniunely thought he was gonna go 'ok i love my gf but also this boy?? is hot??' but no he's fine kissing her and all that but only realises this when she's super excited abt their first time??? they need to stop dicking over these girls and using them as a plot device/stepping stones i hate the trope of 'guy gets gf, realises he's not into her bc he's gay, cheats with male love interest' but then again she has it better off than the girl in alex strangelove bc at least she was allowed to be mad/upset at him for that and also im not bi but it seems unfair to portray bisexuality as just a gateway to realising homosexuality because while some people do many are just. bi. bc it's an actual thing and media needs to show that)

Sweet, spicy, or savoury?: savory sweet gives me headaches :( and spicy is good but i think i would suffer if i had to all the time

Craving: sleep

Tea or coffee?: i don't drink anything that would be considered coffee or tea but boba >>>>>>> so tea??
