My heart favours extraordinary,

Not everyday cold blasphemy,

Like drowning in the night life,

Or drunk on morning sunshine,

Be wherever I might be,

My heart is someplace else,

While am dipped in sweet melancholy,

Of everyday life haste,

Dreaming of that one day,

When my heart will finally be free,

When the day will dawn,

May the truth be revealed,

When the flowers will bloom,

At the places still unseen,

Let death do my heart a favour,

Protecting itself from it's own illusions,

As my eyes slowly close,

And my mind goes blank.

Mid summer afternoon silence is so beautiful,

Like a bittersweet symphony of death.

Am I the only one who uses the B word to address myself? But I can assure it's a term of endearment and encouragement between me and me.

calling myself babe when I'm talking to myself. in a pitying but loving way. like babe you gotta get up. babe why are you doing this. babe you're giving me nothing here

The closure I needed 😭😭😭💔

Major misconceptions about Banana Fish debunked by Yoshida Akimi, the writer

(spoilers)

“Ash dying in the end was editorial meddling because Yoshida wasn’t allowed to write a story where gay people survive and become happy, so actually Ash should survive and move to Japan and live happy ever after with Eiji.”

Sato (Yoshida’s editor): “If I wasn’t your editor, I’d probably have thought a female Blanca [who hooks up with Ash] would have been fun to read too. I don’t remember what I said at our meeting [to change Yoshida’s mind], but I probably looked like I wasn’t pleased with it.”

Yoshida: “Did you think that Ash having sex with a woman wouldn’t fit?”

Sato: “Not really… I wonder what I was feeling?”

Yoshida: “For me, you know, there’s no sex scenes with women [in BF]. So I felt like I’d like to show that hey, Ash is a guy! Since Ash isn’t actually gay.”

Yoshida: “I had Ashita no Joe in mind [when I wrote the ending].”

Sato: “Yeah, you talked about that back then.”

Host: “In HIkari no niwa, it says directly that Ash died.”

Yoshida: “I said he died! (laughs) There were people who kept writing to me saying Ash has to be alive and that he has to come to Japan, kept saying ‘He’s actually alive, right?’“

Host: “They insisted he’d use the ticket he got from Eiji and come to Japan?”

Yoshida: “Nothing that specific, but I wonder why some girls think of happiness in that sort of context. They kept saying, ‘He’ll come to Japan and the two of them will be happy, right?’ and I always wondered, why would you insist that coming to Japan will make him happy? What is happiness?”

Host: “Do you think fans will get mad when you say that?”

Yoshida: “I do wonder. I always worry about how to deal with my protagonists who are criminals. Obviously they’re hurt by killing people, but still. […] They kill because otherwise they’d be killed, but they’re still murderers. I feel giving a proper ending to people like that is very difficult, and in the end in Banana Fish I decided that he shouldn’t survive.”

Fujimoto: “Why did Ash die?”

Yoshida: “I was conflicted about that. I had two endings in mind, one where he dies and another where he doesn’t, but I’d decided a long time ago that he would die, so I felt I couldn’t change that.”

Fujimoto: “What was the ending like where he didn’t die?”

Yoshida: “Nothing special, he just doesn’t die (laughs).”

Fujimoto: “Nothing happens between him and Eiji, they just part ways and…”

Yoshida: “Yes, like that. But I felt that the ending I’d thought of first was the most fitting.”

Fujimoto: “So when you started this series, your plan was that Ash would die.”

Yoshida: “Exactly. To say the truth, I only became conflicted about whether he would die or not quite late on in the serialization.“

Fujimoto: “When was it exactly?”

Yoshida: “When River Phoenix died (laughs). I began thinking this wasn’t a joke. But my original theme for this story was that there’s something fascinating about people who die young, like how this person lived his full life in 17 years rather than the 70 years it takes for normal people. But in reality, people dying young is a terrible tragedy. So I thought maybe I shouldn’t go there. But when it comes down to it, Ash is a killer. I feel that regardless of what might have been behind the killings, people who take another person’s life need to make up for it with their own life. So that’s why I wrote that ending. Also, I didn’t think Ash would get to live long anyway (laughs).”

Fujimoto: “Some writers say it takes a lot of energy to kill off their characters. How do you feel about killing off your characters?”

Yoshida: “Me? That’s not really an issue for me. I’d killed off a lot of characters before, and it wasn’t a big deal. The only thing was that River Phoenix died young in real life, so I thought ‘This is bad.’ If that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have felt anything about it. I don’t think dying young is an unhappy thing. Whether people were happy or not doesn’t depend on how long they lived. I always wonder if people were happy just because they had a long life.”

“Banana Fish is actually shonen manga, and if Yoshida had her way or if it had been written today, it would have been shonen or seinen (or BL).”

Headline: “I like shojo manga because anything goes”

Fujimoto: “Don’t you get a lot of offers from magazines aimed at men?”

Yoshida: “I do, but I think writing for boys is boring. Their wants and desires are too obvious (laughs). And I feel they’re conservative… or how should I say it, they refuse to believe in magic? They don’t believe in magic and instead believe in their own sexual desires (laughs). I’m envious of how simple they are (laughs). But girls aren’t like that. They’re confusing and complicated and I don’t know what they’ll react to and how, and on the flip side that means anything goes.”

I firmly believe that there’s a “right” time to read a certain book. It’s okay if you’re interested in a book and it sits on your shelf for years. Maybe it didn’t call out to you when you wanted something to read because it was waiting for the right time to mean the most to you. Not saying this is always the case, but this has happened enough to recognize the magic.

Just peace and beauty

Can I save a piece of sky for myself?

Or is it just too selfish of me?

Why did I read the last comment in the tune tf is wrong with me lol

how dull for you to live your life without any hills to die on, you, on your vast flat barren plains of compromise, acceptance, and accommodation, while I reign supreme over the lush, rolling highlands of stupid shit I have irrationally chosen to stake my entire identity on

This is like a perfect mixture of love and dreams🖤🖤

Somewhere in northern Italy

[thewitchofdeath]

I always considered this a curse, a curse to feel everything deeply but your quote just created this positive perspective in me. Thank you🖤🖤

my first quote:

let your soul keep the feeling as deep as it can so it can never forget how you've been free, at that specific moment, not part of this world, but the part of your own dreams.

Love, Sara

I wish to be able to travel back to the mediaeval times even if it's just for a day😌

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

Part 2

Take away a part of me,

A curse to feel everything deeply,

Let me return to nothing,

Let my heart go cold,

End my suffering now,

Take away my very soul,

And I shall lie here waiting,

A smile faded in night air

Waiting for fate to take me,

Wherever it may lead.

[thewitchofdeath]

An unspoken wish

In the dark mountains,

The deep valleys,

Where no soul hinders,

No dreary noises,

A place so far away,

A place so quiet,

A place that my weary heart desires.

To away from all the stress,

From all the insecurities,

To a place where the silences preach,

Away from these lands of lost peace,

These lands of lost love,

Which I wish to escape,

Enveloping my cold heart completely.

But they bound me with chains of responsibilities,

Pulling me back into the abyss of despair,

Filling me with fresh breath of life.

The world will be buried in the hearts who love

The world will be buried,

in the hearts who love,

Cause others are too untamed,

With their broken souls.

And it will be clear,

But it will be too late,

For the demise of it,

Will ring our senses.

It's not the severity of the situation,

Or the feeling of helplessness,

It is the slow dawn of realisation,

Cause it's already too late.

May the gods forgive us,

For turning this paradise in hell,

May a miracle take place,

And save us from ourselves.

And like in the past ,

Nature will save itself,

But we all will fall,

With a deserving state.

And the world will be buried,

In the hearts who love,

Cause others are too untamed,

With their broken souls...

Existence

I finally understand

why i belong on this earth

That i was put here

not only to hurt.

i’m here to create

to learn and to teach,

To see and to show

to hear and to preach.
