Just now seeing this 3 years after watching banana fish for the first time 💔

Translation of Max Lobo's Notes (1998)

This is an extra published in 1998, that contains Max's memoirs of Ash and the future lives of all characters of Banana Fish.

I still love how Arthur goes from fearing and shocked that Merlin has magic and has lied all this time to “mErLin?” after Gaius says “there are those who say he is the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth.”

When he’s gone.

If someone held a gun up to my head and told me to draw Arthur accurately… I’d die he’s impossible to draw it never looks like him. Tips? Help me! 🤺😭

I made my welcome home oc into a movable paper puppet for my art project. Any ideas for attachable items/accessories?? Also name suggestions! He’s a bat btw. | Welcome home by @partycoffin

I just finished Merlin and I’m. not. Okay. I literally sobbed the whole last episode not kidding.

[issarons]

you can’t look me in the eyes and tell me they didn’t say this.

YESS I noticed this too since I draw the characters often!

OOO!! Another fun little design thing

When people talk about eyes and Wally they point out that he’s the only one who looks directly at the viewer. But there’s something else too. Take a look at all the characters eyes

All of them have very round cartoonish eyes. Now look at Wally’s

HE HAS HUMAN EYES. Well not entirely they’re still cartoony and fit the style but the shape is much more human than the rest of the cast. Idk I thought this was a fun little design element I hadn’t seen anyone else pick up on

Respect PartyCoffin's Wishes and Privacy!!!!

If you have seen @partycoffin's latest post, then....right now, I really feel for them. I just saw their post now.

There's so much I want to say, but I feel that even words of positive reinforcement aren't going to help them through this.

But I can say something to the people, the fandom, who are part of this, who have helped make Welcome Home what it is now.

Please respect their boundaries and their rules of engagement with Welcome Home. Period. To go even further:

If you see a fake social media account posing as them, report it on the website you found it.

If you see someone selling merchandise, report their account too. No matter how much you want their merchandise, it doesn't help @partycoffin or the fandom to do this.

Give them the time and respect they deserve. They are a person; they have their own boundaries, and if you have any ounce of care in you, you should respect their wishes.

Even if it means that they have to take Welcome Home off the Internet entirely and let this rising fanbase die, then that is what I will respect because I do not want them getting hurt in the process.

Tiktok, I feel, is the worst factor in all this, not because of the people creating beautiful or meme-like work but because of how the platform's algorithm works in sharing content that you've viewed, connecting it to what your friends viewed, and I've also noticed A03 being a terrible influence on NSFW content too, and it honestly breaks my heart to see it.

Yes, this is the internet, the wild west of memes, rule 34, and an incredible lack of privacy. You can inevitably expose yourself to many dangers and unwanted attention by sharing something you love with the world. They cannot control everything they see, but you can control what you see and change things!

Most importantly, we participate in a parasocial relationship when interacting with @partycoffin, meaning that no matter how much we love and care about them, we will never honestly know what they're dealing with daily or who they are as a person! Parasocial relationships have boundaries, and that means giving them the space to recoup, be offline, and not interact with their communities.

Welcome Home has given me joy and love for many personal reasons, even though I don't know the characters yet! But if it dies due to a lack of boundaries and respect for its creator, then so be it. I will treasure my time with their story as it sits and, like time itself, move forward, remembering this story as a beautiful possibility of hope and love rather than one of hate.

Sally is always the first one awake in the neighborhood, Barnaby is usually the last
