Homie gonna share this
There's so much foreshadowing in "Banana Fish" for Ash's death. It's why I'll never understand people who complain about the ending or act like it makes no sense. It makes absolute sense. I could list endless examples where the story is essentially telling you that Ash is going to die in the end. But I wanted to highlight this one in particular, because it also captures the brutal tragedy of it so well.
Eiji convinces Ash here that he needs to relax, and questions why he's so nervous, why he feels the need to get up and go when he's clearly past his limit. All Eiji can see is that Ash needs to rest and recover, and he believes they have time for that because Sing and Cain and everyone else have been preparing for this very scenario.
He ends up convincing Ash that it's okay to relax, to rest, and we know, as a result, things end up going to hell again.
Eiji is shown throughout the story as a distraction to Ash. He lulls Ash into a sense of safety with his friendship. He makes Ash let go of the instincts that have kept him alive for years, simply by virtue of his kindness and compassion. It isn't something Ash is used to, and in a way, he becomes seduced by it. By the feeling of safety he gets when in Eiji's presence.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Eiji, unintentional though it was, had a direct hand in Ash's death.
The thing people don't understand, though, is that it's not meant to be thought of as a bad thing.
Ash was living a brutal and lonely existence before he met Eiji.
Nobody in his life treated him as human. Not even his gang or Shorter. Everyone treated him like he was either something more or less., and they saddled him with the weight of that expectation. His gang relied exclusively on him to keep them all safe, to fight their battles for them, to represent and lead them. Even Shorter thought of Ash as a kind of angel, something otherworldly and superior. Then there's all the adults in Ash's life, who treated Ash as a commodity or an object, or even feared him at times, like Max. Or someone like Yut-Lung, who wanted Ash to serve as his foil, as something to define himself by. None of these people ever truly saw Ash for what he actually was.
But Eiji did.
It's why Ash felt safe around him. And why he let his guard down around him, too. Because Eiji never expected anything from Ash. Never wanted anything from him. Never burdened him with any sort of preconceived notions about what he was or what he should be.
He just accepted Ash as he was.
Ash dying is unspeakably tragic, there's no denying that. His whole life was unspeakably tragic.
Just like there's no denying that his friendship with Eiji is, ultimately, what led to his death.
But I think we're meant to understand the value of that friendship to Ash through the brutal and bleak reality of his life.
Eiji served as a light to Ash in an otherwise dark existence. He gave Ash a sense of comfort and safety in a life otherwise totally devoid of those things. He allowed Ash to just be himself. Not an angel or a demon. Not a genius or a prostitute. Not a leader or a boss. But just a boy.
In the moments Ash had with Eiji, he was finally able to escape the loneliness and sadness of his life. He was able to let go of the constant, unending misery of always having to watch his back, of always "expecting the worst", as Ash says in the panels above. Around Eiji, he was finally set free from the pain of struggle. From the agony of trying to survive in a world that tried its hardest, day in and day out, to destroy him.
If you were to ask Ash which he would choose, to go on living the life he was without ever having known Eiji, or to have known Eiji for the brief time they had together, but die in the end, is there any question as to what his answer would be?
So while Eiji's friendship was, ultimately, the thing that led to Ash's death, something that's alluded to again and again throughout the story, the thing is, to Ash, it was worth it.
Getting to know Eiji, getting to be his friend, to feel Eiji's love and care for him, to Ash, that was worth more to him than the life he was living. A life he would have continued to live after Eiji was gone.
That's why Ash dies with a smile on his face.
Because he would rather have known Eiji and died as a result, than continue living the tragic life he'd been cursed with without ever knowing Eiji at all.

Failteacher Yuri NOW! - Collection by Diesel
It's a comic about women in their 30s making questionable choices at each other in the name of lesbianism and money. It is SFW, but sex and sexuality (and sex work) are obviously relevant topics throughout all issues. Later issues will have spoilers for Persona 3 (including the ending), and P5's Temperance confidant.
For fans of ambiguous relationships.
happy femslash february, here's an ongoing 5 volume fancomic about two side characters from two different persona games. it's collected into pdfs on itch, it's also right on tumblr no downloading needed. listen to me. listen to me. are you listening to me. I don't care if you're not into persona. I don't care if you've never even heard of persona. I am drafting YOU to READ FAILTEACHER YURI NOW!!!!
the language teacher's having a sexuality crisis, the math teacher works part-time as a maid because she Needs Money, neither of them realizes that they're coworkers until it's Too Late
there are some background elements and visuals that are relevant to the source material, and the source material will give you context for what to expect from these characters, but ultimately I do think anyone can jump into the series just knowing both women have a complicated relationship with teaching, and certain self-destructive tendencies. and one of the women is working part-time as a maid. even without context, I think it's easy to appreciate the characters and their internal struggles as the artist presents them
since it started as a gag comic the tone stays pretty silly, but as the story develops there are a lot of moody and dramatic moments, it's quite compelling
give this a try if you're in the mood to admire the passion and power of one (1) person creating an entire ship wholesale

CALL YOUR SENATORS!!!
I don't usually make political posts on here but please call your senator if you're in the USA.
this is an insanely niche crossover, but shugo chara au saiouma. listen to me. pre-game shuichi and kokichi with their in-game characters as their guardian characters.
bonus points if kokichi hides his guardian (let's call him bon, for simplicity) so no one can see him. the latter option results in little guardian bon creating chaos unseen among the school as he somehow always manages to slip free from pre-game kokichi's school bag. which ALSO results in shuichi's guardian (kage) separating from him to conduct his own investigation on the missing guardian character.
sometimes i think about shuichi would want to do with his life outside of detective work.
one day i wanna write specifically about his relationship to being a detective because he definitely doesn't HATE it and comes to at least appreciate in some respect but like. by the end of the game, ESPECIALLY at the end of the game, he never gives the impression that he Likes being a detective. it's something that he's good at and has explicit purpose, which for shuichi is good enough, probably. but regardless of if it's a modern au or post game or whatever i think he naturally will grow to resent it, even if it's just in a quiet way. i don't think he'll ever be Happy being a detective.
which is of course why he finds enrichment in other aspects of his life. but i do wonder bc despite me saying this, i can't think of what he'd do as an alternative. shuichi is just so Built To Be A Detective. it's in his nature!!
anyway, ideas on what else shuichi would be into career (or even hobby!) wise bc goddamn boy we gotta get you some fulfillment in your path of life dude. š
yuri phantom thief saiouma where recently back in the game kokichi has to race to make it home in time for dinner with her wife. to not seem suspicious, of course. she can't give her brilliant partner a reason to look into her new extra curriculars...
meanwhile renewed detective saihara is sweating trying to reheat the dinner she prepped in advance because her evening was spent chasing that damned criminal instead of preparing for her recently busy wife to come home. the meat is still a little cold on the inside.
in the end, they're both so exhausted that they mutually agree to forgoe the fancy dinner for now and snuggle up for bed, taking a note to interrogate the other about their strangely active day (and strategically dodge questions about their own, of course).
