what is it about trying to learn health facts or hygeine or body care that after a certain point it tailspins into online fanaticism. why does my mom believe gut health powders meditation and sunlight mean she will never die or age. girl i just want to find a good yogurt brand

#we're trying different yogurts bc our kid (also has autism) is super super food picky #moreso than i ever was as a kid #forrest never had issues with food more sensory things like sound and heat/textile stuff #whereas i was super super picky BUT. i was always introduced to something of at least diff food groups #so even if i onyl atelike 6 things id always have One vegetable. One probiotic. One protein source. u get the deal #we only recently got our kid to start eating fish sticks and chicken and even beef! #so hes got protein down. before he only at chips and frozen mini pizzas. like thats literally it #and he eats bananas and strawberries. we got him vitamin/protein drinks for the time being so hes not nutrient deficient #and he likes those theyre chocolate #but we're trying to find a yogurt he doesnt mind bc he doesnt have like. any. digestive or fiber ro like anything ot help him #i dont want him to feel sick and sluggish all the time . we've had a lot of success with the drinkable yogurts #but talking abuot this made my mom start talking about gut health.......

Alr imagine Ash and Eiji in their 90s, both very old and close to dying with Eiji being the closest.

Eiji goes to the hospital and the doctors tell him he'll die in couple days because of his old age. Eiji tells them he wishes to die peacefully with comfort his home brings to him.

He goes home and spends his last days with Ash, talking about everything they've been trough for so long, declaring their love for each other all over again and promising to find each other again if they get reicarnated.

One night, they're getting ready to sleep and Eiji is unable to stand up or get anything done. It was tiring for him to speak even. Of course, Ash knows what's up right away, puts Eiji on the bed and sits besides him.

Ash kept talking about their destinies, how did they found each other while being so different and how their managed to stand side by side. Whenever Ash asked a question, everything Eiji could do was nod or shake his head, anything else was too tiring.

At last, Eiji takes his final breath and Ash feels the grip on his hand that's holding onto Eiji's getting weak.

Ash breaks into tears right away, he didn't want something like that to be the last thing Eiji sees. Eiji already spent so much time comforting Ash and making his tears go away during their lives, he didn't want sadness to be the last feeling Eiji feels.

He cries for Eiji for what probably were hours, until his heart became so weak it couldn't beat anymore. He quickly wraps Eiji's cold arms around himself and lets his soul follow Eiji's.

#so in conclusion #eiji died of old age #ash died after heartbreak #a while ago i read something about old married couples dying one after another #because theyre so used to their partners and when theyre old theyre all they have #and when one partner dies the other one suffers until their heart gives up or “breaks” #therefore thats why its called dying from heartbreak #also #i totally didnt cry writing this #banana fish #asheiji #ash lynx #eiji okumura #ash x eiji #gay #lgbt #banana fish the stage #bananafish #anime #bfish #eislan

My dad has watched the first 3 episodes of Blue Lock in an attempt to grow closer to his daughter who won’t shut up about it (me)… he’s so far concluded that:

This series is incredibly homoerotic and he can’t understand that there’s a whole section of the fandom that doesn’t see it that way (aka Reddit)

Bachira is the best character in every regard, if a little unhinged (yayyyyy!!!)

Ego is an annoying piece of shit who deserves to be beaten up for lunch money

Bachisagi “just makes sense”

He says he’ll keep watching it, even if he finds the whole “egoism” thing very unbelievable. He enjoys sports overall so it’s a series he’s liking. He found Inazuma Eleven way more fun though

#blue lock #bllk #blue lock spoilers #bachisagi #bachira meguru #dw I have a great relationship with my dad #it’s a thing we do where he watches the anime me and my brother are talking about #coz he enjoys comics and cartoons but can’t navigate anime as easily #so he relies on our recs #he’s also reading the banana fish manga for anyone interested

Can we talk about how Ash Lynx's theme in the Banana Fish OST is simply called 'Aslan' and it's the softest, saddest and loneliest song you've probably ever heard in your life

#but like there's also a little bit of lightness and hope there? is that just me? #anyway one thing you should know about me is that every once in a while I become obsessed with BF all over again #and cry about Ash and Eiji #because they're good boys #banana fish #asheiji #ash lynx #eiji okumura

hello! i just finished the banana fish anime (i am in so much pain) and i would like to read the manga as well, especially knowing that there are some more stuff that arent animated.

which chapter do you think i should start on after the anime? (sorry if i sound confusing, english isnt my first language).

thank you for taking your time to respond!

Honestly I really recommend reading the entire manga if it's feasible for you! The manga expands a lot on some of the scenes that the anime zooms through.

But! If you're just looking for the side stories that weren't animated, definitely read Angel Eyes and Garden of Light (marked as volume 19.2 and 19.3 in my Google Drive) and then Private Opinion and Fly Boy in the Sky, which aren't in my Google Drive (yet! I'll be scanning them myself soon) and are a little harder to find, but I've provided links to fan translations here. (There are no official translations of those two.)

After that, if you've decided you like the manga and want the full experience, go back and read the full manga starting with volume one!

#banana fish #hope this helps! #also please don't worry about your english at all! your question was perfectly clear :) #answers #anon

Manga from the shojo magazine Shojo Kurabu, first serialization 1935 Manga by a female artist from the same magazine, first serialization 1940

Princess Knight is considered maybe (maybe) the first "dramatic" shojo manga, with a dramatic ongoing storyline. Tezuka Osamu did not invent shojo manga.

#i miss manga hoarder #by the definitions in this video banana fish wouldn't be shojo #also i think i have a weird pet peever about hasegawa machiko being ignored i dunno it's a thing #i've been annoyed by this before and should probably address it in a post

Fellas is it gay to randomly start conversations about each other's features,,,,

#DEEP EYES YOU SAY???? #these two say the most unhinged shit to each other and move on like they didn't call each other beautiful in 47 different ways #also note that Ash talking about Eiji's appearance came out of NOWHERE 😭 #like he was just saying how they rarely have time to get to know each other and then he just???? starts???? talking about Eiji's eyes????? #like.. bro.. my man.... #and Eiji we all know you just like to stare at Ash you do it multiple times in the show 💀 #banana fish #ash lynx #eiji okumura #aslan jade callenreese #asheiji #ash x eiji #mimi posts

#banana fish #yut lung lee #lee yut lung #im not going to explain myself. jk um yll's two looks are women's clothing and dysphoria sweaters #or at least like 80% of them #and when characters mistake yll for/compare yll to a woman there's zero pushback or correction #and yll talks about being girly on the inside too and just. idk ok #like no i dont want to compare yll to western gender standards but yll wears chinese women's clothing/hairstyles #it's not just different cultural standards it's intentionally wearing fem clothes from that culture #look maybe estrogen would give her something to live for idk #like all hcs i think there's a bunch of other ways to view yll's gender that are good but idk i like this one 👍 #also to be so real i just hit characters i like with the transgenderfication beam a lot so #i think i saw a gimmick blog doing this question but uh. i dont feel like finding it and submitting sorry #hope its ok if me and the other like 40 bf fans on here have this one #thats so crazy i just noticed the color palette i chose.... more like blue lung lee am i right
