Banana Fish (Anime & Manga)

like a light i'm luring you

by kybelles

One night, world famous musician Ash Lynx drunk tweets about a cute boy he saw in a magazine and all hell breaks loose. “Oh my God, just show me!” Eiji yells nervously. Yut-Lung presses his lips tightly, turning his phone screen for Eiji to see. Eiji tenses when he sees the photos from his photoshoot on Twitter, but it’s nothing compared to the way his body freezes when he notices the person who tweeted them. Ash Lynx ✓ @ash-lynx who are you where do you live how old are you why are you so fine how do you like your eggs in the morning [IMAGE] [IMAGE] 73.231 Retweets 101.762 Likes Eiji stares, and stares, and stares while his brain processes the fact that Ash Lynx, the Ash Lynx –famous musician whose entire discography is on Eiji’s Spotify list— has tweeted about him and called him fine. A long moment later, Eiji’s mouth falls open and a scream rips from his throat.

like a light im luring

by rootofallevil

Однажды ночью всемирно известный музыкант Эш Линкс спьяну твитнул о симпатичном парне из журнала и разверзлась преисподняя. — Боже мой, просто покажи! – нервно восклицает Эйджи. Юэ Лун ощутимо напрягается и поворачивает телефон экраном к нему. Эйджи вздрагивает, когда видит снимки со своей фотосессии в твиттере, но настоящий шок наступает, когда он замечает, кто запостил его фото. Ash Lynx ✓ @ash-lynx кто ты где ты живешь сколько тебе лет почему ты такой прекрасный как ты ешь яйца на завтрак  [фото] [фото] 73.231 Retweets 101.762 Likes Эйджи смотрит, смотрит, и смотрит, пока его мозг осмысляет тот факт, что Эш Линкс – тот самый Эш Линкс, которым Эйджи заслушивается в Spotify – твитнул о нем и назвал его прекрасным А потом Эйджи издает вопль.

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling+4

The Tower Of Babel

by orphan_account

JK Rowling is yet again TERFing out on twitter and my fandom friends keep asking me how I justify writing Harry Potter Fanfiction in this day and age. A self-indulgent quick guide for my friends in the form of a Musical Broadway Show, so that I might never be asked that question again because it causes me intense psychological distress to think about any of this.Sorry for being sincere and strangely political on main, fam. Skip this if you don’t want to think about the culture war, may I offer you some fluffy Miraculous Ladybug romance novels instead? Mayhaps some Supernatural? Or perhaps a beautiful redemption story of both Tom Riddle and Dumbledore that I’m now severely writer’s blocked on thanks to The Discourse?You, too, can join the hell only MiniMinou readers know while they desperately wait for a new chapter. I’m sorry, guys, I’m just busy having mental breakdowns over geopolitics, I’ll get around to it.Вся моя любовь моим украинским братьям и сестрам.

Introduction to Archive of Zephyr's Old Matrix Fics (2001-2003)

by The_Ineffable_Zephyr

This is the first work in a collection meant to archive my early work. Think of it like how an academic might preface a collected works by considering their own process, growth, and the context in which the works were being written. I’m publishing this at the end of 2021 to mark the 20th anniversary of posting my first fic on the internet as well as the release of The Matrix Resurrections. The rest of the fics in the collection are back dated to their original (or approximate) posting date. Click on the Collection title above to see all the fics in the collection.

The Annual Jorvik Council Budgetary Planning Committee

by enter_the_phantom

The annual meeting of the Jorvik Council Budgetary Planning Committee is the most important event of the year. Within the austere chambers of Silverglade City Hall, the most important citizens of Jorvik gather to discuss what is to be done with the island's finances. With Garnok's return growing ever closer and the island's inhabitants becoming increasingly panicked over the state of the infrastructure, it's up to the Council to secure the future of Jorvik. How will they accomplish this most momentous of tasks? With more horses, of course!(This is a satire. Please don’t kill me.)

Non-Proportional Levels of Izzy Hate (ft. Fandom Discourse Drama)

by sixstepsaway

A nonnie asked why fandom continually insists that Izzy is manipulative and why they act as though that is the only acceptable take. I broke it down in regards to purity culture and the current fandom discourse climate. We also discuss how they treat other fans, shaming fans of Izzy for made up things, ascribing modern terminology to word usage without considering the class and personal dynamics involved, accusing characters and people of using words they did not, and stripping characters and production crew of agency in the process, and a little bit of Calico Jack!

Fandom Dynamics: Shipping Discourse Sucks

by orphan_account

Shipping discourse sucks, and I wrote an essay about it. It's slightly passive agressive, because I'm ticked off. I'm not trying to bash people, or offend anyone. I'v tried to be as unbiased as possible.Note: Ships used for examples in the is paper are not representative of the author's personal preferences. They are simply for convenience.

Your Favorite Character is Objectively Flawed (and That’s Okay)

by kermit_writes

Fans can often misread or even defend character flaws based on personal bias. Rather than viewing characters in the storyline, we find ourselves projecting our perception of them. There isn't anything wrong with that (obviously), but is there a limit to such perception?

Halsin Deserves Better - The Misrepresentation of a Sacred Character

by WifeyOfTheKing

Halsin is more than the fandom’s walking innuendo - he’s a leader, a healer, and one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s most grounded, emotionally literate characters.This meta dismantles the shallow caricature that’s overtaken him, from the “poly king” myth to out-of-character jokes amplified by his own voice actor.Drawing on canon dialogue - including his Epilogue admission that his true nature is monogamous - this piece traces Halsin’s arc from reluctant leader to a man who finally allows himself to belong.If you’ve ever felt that Halsin deserves better, here’s the proof.
