Eiji and Ash

Shorter WONG

For my first BF related post, I'm sharing gifs I made. I chose manga panels from volume 1 that I thought would be the easiest to animate.

The idea I had was to animate a few panels from every volume. So keep an eye out.

You can use the gifs as long as you credit me.

Ash and Eiji's first meeting felt like two universes colliding. You can feel the entire room shift even when there's nothing to shake it, and see the colors turn a bit brighter than usual. The moment they locked eyes it feels uncertain yet they were so sure of each other at the same time.

I guess Ash is somewhat guarded since Ibe's there. Knowing how he can't trust adults so much. Yet the next scenes that come after their first eye contact, Ash is interested, testy or maybe teasing even towards Eiji. To say the least they were both interested in each other. Curious.

They're both alive I have proof right here

Eiji asking to hold Ashs gun when they first met was a metaphor for consent.

At first I didn't understand why I was obssessed with platonics and romantics relationships like Ash and Eiji's ( Banana Fish), Eddie and Richie's (It), He tian and Mo Guan Shan's ( 19 days), Wilhelm and Simon's (Young Royals), Hachi and Nana's (Nana), Marceline and BubbleGum's ( Adventure Time), Mike and Will's ( Stranger things)...

It's ONLY because I've never been the first choice, never had a best friend or a lover. Nobody was or is in love with me. I never feel wanted and people don't need me. And that's why I've been watching those shows and dreaming about this kind of relationship.

I don't even know if they helped me when I felt alone or if they make it worse. But sometimes I tell myself that one day, one day it's going to be my turn, my turn to be loved.

It's crazy because if you look at their relationships they love each others for who they really are, even if one of them has trauma, one of them is a loser, one of them has issues and has been abused, one of them is weird.

Anyways.
