This is a PSA to all Banana Fish fans-
if you haven't watched Garden of Light and Forever by Yaki BF, you should. They're two separate animatic fanfictions for what the time after the story might have looked like. Garden of Light is absolutely heartbreaking, and Forever, while on the surface a happier story, has a focus on trauma that will destroy your emotions. If you devoured Banana Fish and need more, this is where to go. There are both English and Spanish versions of both stories, and you need to watch them.

i can’t believe me, a yakumo fan, enjoyer, lover, etc, being upset that yakumo’s experienced nothing but misery in nearly every event he’s been in for the past two years was so shocking and confusing to some people that they felt the need to tell me about confusing and shocking it is, and how weird i am. i know i’m not the only one who feels this way, so it’s undoubtedly not just me inspiring such confusion, but i didn’t know my.. ahem, emotional post i made at 6am would garner such a reaction.
like is it really that wacky that i want my favourite character to be happy?? is it truly that hard to comprehend my and other people’s desire to see him finally experience some positive change for once??? i don’t think it is!!! i think it’s quite normal to be upset that a character who’s been treated like a punching bag over the course of his entire life seemingly has to keep suffering to learn his lesson and have character development!!
and i know he’s able to experience character growth without experiencing trauma, because during idol fest he learned that he’s allowed to experience love and admiration from other people and that he doesn’t have to worry about being a burden to his friends!! that was chill, no one was dying or on the verge of death, and yet he still gained self confidence!! is it too much to ask for something like that again???
but idk. maybe i am a sensitive weirdo. maybe i do care too much about this in a way that’s frankly silly to other people..

im back to say after reading your tags/ramblings on this new jjk chapter yeah everyone shitting on shoko and yuta for this are like? how.
especially with shoko (as you know i think about her a lot) i'm not surprised she reacted this way considering she has seen all of her friends die basically and she definitely deals with dead sorcerers on the daily that she probably knew in life considering she's the main healer. in my headcanons she recognizes a lot of the people who eventually end up dead on her exam table.
plus as you mentioned her reaction to geto's mass murder is super chill. she was never going to have a breakdown over fucked up shit? at least not outwardly, unfortunately we don't really get a look in her head. also god forbid a woman have interest in dead/macabre things and/or not give 110% emotionally at all times.
personally i enjoy satosugu (insert multishipper nuance here) but the fandom surrounding the ship is very...... can you think about any other character? please??? can you also see satoru and suguru as individuals???? PLEASE?
the manga is not your satosugu fanfiction there are other characters here that matter...
IT’S SO BAD!!! THEY ARE ACTING LIKE HIS STUDENTS AND FRIENDS WANTED THIS!?!! And are refusing to look at the story from a narrative standpoint outside of shipper/fanon shit… They do this literally every time something huge and awful happens. They always end up making it about a damn ship, completely glossing over the characters themselves and their intentions. It’s so frustrating. The Gojo and Getou they talk about is barely even them… those are OC’s!!!
And the only reason why they’re talking so negatively about Shoko is because they hate women 🗣️🗣️🗣️!!! It’s crazy, she’s literally a doctor who specializes in the dead. She’s a mortician!!! Like, you’ve stated, she’s been burying her colleagues and friends since she was a teenager. I’m sure she’s used to the business now. Even if it’s hard, if you’re in this line of work, people who work with the dead tend to not find it as torturous and haunting as any normal person would because death is an extension of life. They don’t view death as this big, scary, horrible thing they way people who don’t work with the dead/aren’t used to dealing with death, are. That’s why in rl, morticians and doctors might come off as extremely fickle and end uncomfortably nonchalant regarding death. They don’t view dying and the dead in the same way we would. They find comfort in knowing that they can help the grieving pass on the best way that they can by taking care of their bodies in their most vulnerable moments on earth. It would’ve been nice to see more of Shoko’s reactions and knowing about more of her feelings regarding Gojo’s passing because like I’ve stated before, Gege really fumbled her character and because of the way he wrote her, it makes it easier for fans who already don’t care about her, to mischaracterize and misunderstand her intentions, labeling them as “callous,” and “inconsiderate,” despite her having always been this way since the very beginning. She didn’t even so much as flinch when Getou had confirmed to her that he’d committed a massacre, killing over 100 people in the process. They were talking so casually as if they were talking about the weather. She had to fix up Haibara, probably one of their very first friends who she’d most likely ever had to work on… it’s just, I hate how the people bashing her really DON’T understand her character at all and have never once tried to and they’re constantly proving my point. They expected her to be sobbing in every panel, grabbing onto Gojo’s tight…, Sexy ass, black t-shirt, holding on for dear life and screaming at him to wake up and they absolutely HATE that a female character wouldn’t give that to them 🚶🏾♀️. I’m so sorry Shoko… they’re acting like Getou would’ve been the only one to feel bad about all of this simply because they ship them and forgot all about canon.
As for Yuuta… oh brother. The fact that all of Gojo’s students do care about him and have always admired him… Yuuta didn’t want this at all… but he knew that he HAD to do it in the end and so did the others. Knowing the kind of trauma that he’d suffered himself. The pain and isolation that he had to deal with because he was too afraid of hurting people so he pushed them away and purposely isolated himself. He’s canonically tried to take his own life on multiple occasions. After meeting Gojo, he learned that he had just as much as a right to live as anyone else and that he mattered. He chose life. Gojo, alongside the friends he’d made, made a huge impression on him and it makes me happy whenever I think about it. He used his strength to protect others and learned to see his strength as a good thing instead of a curse that separated him from society. Gojo already knows what it’s like to be lonely and lived with that till the very end. But he made sure to let his students know that they all were worth living. This is literally why he wanted to become a teacher in the first place!!! Have the fans forgotten just how much he adores his students!?!! Yuuta knew exactly how Gojo must’ve felt… even taking over his body, he didn’t need to view his memories to find out.
Even if it is, from a narrative standpoint, incredibly disgusting, Gojo gave them permission because he values the lives of the people he cares about, especially the kids (ppl always forget that he loves children 😭… he’s do anything for them), above his own. When it comes to the kids, he knows that he’s the adult in the situation. Just like Nanami, it’s the adults duty to protect the children and he feels the same way. His corpse gave them a way to fight back and he gladly gave it to them as sad as this might sound… He’s always been this way and we all know why. Come on. He’d always seen it as his duty to protect and shield them from the horrors of the real world that would soon hurt them back. I hate that he’s still being used as a weapon in his death so much, it really makes me want to cry, I could barely sleep 😭… but man…, whenever stuff like this happens, it just goes to show that not everyone was reading the story with their eyes open. Blame it on shipper brainrot.

Bröther, the fuck is an isat and where do I get it. I am intrigued™
IN STARS AND TIME THE HIT INDIE GAME OUT NOW FOR PC ON STEAM AND ITCH.IO AS WELL AS PLAYSTATION AND NINTENDO SWITCH
you play as a funky lil fella names siffrin (the guy in the wizard hat) and they and their friends gotta defeat the king to save the country!! he's been stopping everyone in time and it really sucks of him.
except it goes wrong. and sif dies. and sif wakes up. and now he gets to fix all of his mistakes!!! isn't that epic!!
the main cast is INCREDIBLY charming i love them (i was already a big fan of the standalone demo game so i'm biased) BUT isat itself also writes them so good and aurgh i wanna hug all of them.
the game is BIG on character interaction and writing. a lot of times your rewards for a puzzle is seeing the main characters goof off and i love it!! every time!!!
the game also has a literal rock-paper-scissors battle system which while simple is a lot of fun actually? it works. not the best thing ever but it's fun enough and doesn't drag the experience down
the switch version of the game does stutter a bit whenever battles start but i got used to it
go watch the trailer to see how great the artstyle is also. i LOVE siffrin (again, the demo "start again start again start again: a prologue" was also marvelous [and that game is on sale for less than 3 bucks on steam rn]) and they're so.. aurgh. squeezes them like a stressball. he's literally perfect for this game. i mean. i already wrote abt it.
the core gameplay loop is, pardon the pun, the timeloop. you gotta explore and explore again and find the little tidbits to make it work and progress. talk to the right people, get the right items - it sounds overwhelming, but isnt very, since the game hands you plenty of tools to make it easier, and the explorable area is small enough to not be daunting. if you forget something, don't feel bad - siffrin also didn't remember.
i just hit act 3 which is when the meat of the plot begins but it took me uhhh sixteen hours to get there which may be bcuz i read the sleepover scene like 10 times bcuz it's cute.
if you love explorin and puzzles and cute fleshed out naturalistic characters and great worldbuilding and fun art and gay people (wow!!!!) this is the game for you
if you hate repetition and digging for scraps of change then this is not the game for you. but i love digging. so this is perfect for me, actually
