"The title of the movie poses an interesting question that is asked time and again throughout: what does it mean to be human? When someone hears the word “monster,” they likely picture an otherworldly, grotesque creature that bears no resemblance to a human. In the beginning of the film, Minato asks his mother if a person would still be themselves if their brain was replaced with a pig’s brain. Saori begs the elementary school administration to respect her as a person as she confronts them about Mr. Hori. More than an attempt to get to the truth of the situation with Minato and Mr. Hori, Monster is a delicate exploration of humanity. It’s easy to call something or someone a monster, because that strips the soul out of the situation. It allows us to separate the darkness that people are capable of from humanity itself, but that’s not the truth. We all have the ability to be awful and good and cruel, but that doesn’t make us monsters, it makes us human." (x)

people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago

i like to think that throughout their flight to the states, ibe san kept explaining eiji that the guy they are going to interview is literally a gang leader and he can be really dangerous and how he should not provoke them or anything and eiji throws all of that caution out the moment ash makes fun of him ONCE and proceeds to ask a LITERAL GANG LEADER "yo is your gun real?" i just love this boy.

basically, an asheijified study of this

Will forever point out Eiji's tiny blush when Ash pulls him closer for the shooting training

I'm certain a lot of people see Eiji as a ✨️smol cinnamon roll✨️

The boy is crazy

Who in their right mind sees a gang leader and is like "I choose him". Visits him in prison like "I'll come visit you again 🥺💕" .

Eiji is depressed and unhinged lol

him and hym.

I think, what made me love Banana Fish so much despite the many sad, violent, and tragic things that went down was the very broad relationship of Ash and Eiji. Cliche to say? Maybe. I will always be grateful that Yoshida chose this direction than have it as another het story. With what those two have they didn't need to be in specifics on who they are to each other or what it means to be together. I remember in Garden of Light, Sing described their relationship as "more than romantic" got to me. That shifted a lot of things within my aroace mind and heart. Anyone can interpret it as romantic or platonic alike or possibly both. It's just great that, you can simply love someone so much by just existing as themselves, without, and together.
