Ash Might Not Win But Give Him A Shot-

Shrimpttore my beloved

CRUNCH

griddlehark modern college au because this book is metaphorically placing me in the jerma meat grinder hypothetical and i need something nice

Clarified: this scene is the one where Dr. Meridith is showing the remaining half of banana fish to Eiji, Ibe, and Shorter.

Ok maybe I'm wrong but in the banana fish anime, season 1 ep 4, roughly 9:20 seconds in, Ibe asks "what is it" and Eiji responds "it's what the man that was killed handed to Ash" but when would Eiji have been told that??? We've seen every interaction they've had so far and this hasn't had a reason to come up. (Unless I've forgotten something-) HOW DOES HE KNOW ASH GOT IT FROM THAT GUY WHO DIED????

I haven't read the manga in a minute but does it make more sense there and/or happen differently? I own physical copies but I wanna know if anyone else has caught this or if I've just missed something in the first three episodes

I am so normal about this show

Saw this pose and went "that's Asheiji"

This has taken hours of work comparing different, yet similar fonts and the book cover titles.

All completely hand drawn. I present my own version of the locked tomb font.

For your own use:

It’s currently only letters right now.

I will update as I work through numbers and symbols.

Happy dead dove do not eat birthday!

A proposal

Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.

It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”

For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:

The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”

OOOO excited

Just Say Yes: chapter fourteen

Is anyone interested in a honeymoon? Eiji didn't want to go (too awkward) but Ash insisted. Now they're at a hot spring resort and things are getting...steamy. (don't quote me on that--I might've just been going for the pun!).

Content warning: this chapter contains sexual assault (over the clothes!), homophobia, and the f-slur. (I'm sorry!)

Neuvillette that I spent too long on and still didn't end up liking... Oh well.
