Wake up babes new Griffin headcanon dropped. Imo, the reson he opened fire on his teammates was because he despised them (and himself) for the murders they were committing in vietnam/iraq and banana fish pushed him over the edge enough

#yeah? yeah. #self loathing i think… is a big reason/aftereffect of turning to drugs #especially guilt since griff’s dad was an alcoholic #abe says canonically that bf amplified fear and hatred and there was no given reason for griff to go nuts like that beyond ‘insanity’…. #oh griff #banana fish #bfish #griffin callenreese my beloved ghost of the series #griffin callenreese #abraham dawson #griff is said to have hated violence and fighting

AGAIN elaborating on the whole banana-fish-Abraham-griffin mess…

His drug thing was out, higher ups knew about it, dino knew about it, he’d presumably made profit off of it, I can’t think of any reason as to why Abraham wanted to kill griffin there and then.

From a doyist perspective maybe the writers just didn’t know what to do with griffin but to kill him to tie up loose ends… but on a watsonian perspective… Abraham killed griffin because he was freaked out just looking at him. “Griffin was a nice guy but he suspected what I was doing so…” he cuts off, he fusses with his hands, he looks down, the first thing he saw in ash was a teen griffin. The guy feels guilt. He’s nuts enough to think lobotomising his teenage bullies in a war is justifiable but he feels guilt over griffin because he was a “nice guy”. Maybe it’s all subconscious but he knows he’s done fucked up.

Griffin wakes up at Abraham’s voice. After years, after not responding to his brother, it’s Abraham that makes him wake up. He’s lived trapped in the terror Abraham forced onto him and they both know this. I’m willing to bet that griffin was delirious on waking up, maybe he thought he was still there, where Abraham had given him banana fish and wrecked his life?

“When you see a banana fish at sea you feel like dying” Griffin killed his teammates and lived with that guilt in his coma. Abraham feels guilt over griffin, which is why he killed him to get rid of it.

I’ve heard people talking about guilt being a driving factor in bf: Max, Ash, Eiji, Sing, but I haven’t heard people talking about how it’s subverted in abraham.

Griffins traditionally protect treasures from evil, witchcraft and slander and in Christian mythology are regarded as symbols of both the divine and of humans.

#and before you ask why yes! #this is about #griffin callenreese my beloved ghost of the series #griffin callenreese #makes sense as to why ash ONLY got a lifelong trauma over pumpkins in his brothers care #my hc for their childhoods is that while yes Jim was a shitty father Griff usually redirected his dad’s anger onto him and not ash #so like. ash was aware that their dad was bad. but that was more a background thing. up until griff left and that shield left as well. #then there’s the whole coach fiasco

Having very very shitty Griffin Callenreese thoughts again. His name is going to utterly dissappear. Literally nobody knows him. Nobody could think of him, even Max as he tries will mourn for a man he scarcely knew for longer than he knew him. Literally just tried to support his brother in his shitty family with an abusive father, got turned into a lab rat and got brutally murdered by a man who he was kind to. Out of all people Abraham could have viciously hurt like that he chose Griff, who meant no harm, who was "the only one who didn't bully him" Griffin was never cruel to anyone and this is the lot he gets.

#bringing literally everything i can think of just murders me #obvs it isnt ash's fault but griff gave up his entire life to take care of his brother because nobody else would #got conscripted/enlisted in the army and gets nothing but agony in return #amongst MANY other reasons i think this is why ash def shoudve lived #killing abuse survivors is cruel #griff is the contextual ghost #ash fought back against dino for him #the banana fish mess started partly because of him #and even ash and max i feel as if never truly knew him to begin with #it kills me #banana fish #griffin callenreese my beloved repivotal ghost of the series #griffin callenreese #max lobo #max glenreed #ash lynx #aslan jade callenreese #bfish #abraham dawson

Nonono but I am fucking losing my mind over Abraham first seeing Griffin when he looks at Ash, after ten years still everyone in Banana Fish is haunted by the metaphorical ghost of this gentle boy who harm was done to.
