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!

Men use “I’m just a man” to cheat on their wives. Odysseus uses “I’m just a man” to kill, slay and torture people to get back to HIS wife. They are not the same.

love when characters have to have a domestication arc before you can even consider giving them a redemption arc

I actually really liked how in the finale they went on the honey moon in this mega accessible city with no stairways and lots of benches

"my child is perfectly fine" your child is being a faggot on tumblr btw

[crackheadwithanbuckethead]

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

The situation is catastrophic now in Gaza after the heavy rain and winds this week. Did you know that families in Gaza are sheltered only by some pieces of nylon and that the cold is very severe? My family is suffering from severe cold.

There is no shelter to protect them from the bitter cold. Their help will save my family’s lives from starvation and may help them flee Gaza soon after the crossings are opened soon.

I know that most of you are desperate and bored of constantly asking us for help. But how many times do you see the world and governments that did not look at us with mercy?

Only people with compassionate hearts like you help and sympathize with the afflicted.

Your continued support saves the lives of all my families. Support link here
