Some days you're
the banana.
Some days you cry.

A banana in a suit, having a tough day โ€” and somehow, so are we all.

The Crying Banana โ€” a banana in a navy suit, sobbing Big feelings. Small potassium.

The Story

He put on a suit. He still cried.

The Crying Banana wakes up, knots his tie, and shows up anyway. He's bruised, a little overripe, and not entirely sure why the meeting could've been an email. He is, in the most literal sense, falling apart โ€” and he's doing it with dignity.

He's the patron saint of the slightly-too-much-today. A mascot for everyone who's held it together in public and lost it in the stairwell. We make memes about him. We put him on clothes. You wear the feeling instead of explaining it.

The Series

The Bar Crawls

Every week, Benny puts on the suit, walks the street, and cries to a different fruit about work, love, and his doomed crush on a peach who won't let him take a bite. A new chapter drops weekly.

Week 1 ยท Now Live

The Meeting That Could've Been an Email

๐Ÿ“ The Fruit Bowl โ€” 9:14 PM

Benny pushed through the door already crying, which Olive appreciated, because it saved time. He'd made slides. Forty-five minutes, for something that was, objectively, an email.

"You can look at the peach, Benny. You can admire the peach. But nobody takes a bite of this peach for free."

Then she walked in โ€” eyelashes first, lips like she'd been somewhere warm. He leaned in. There was nothing there. Read the full chapter โ†’

The Good Listener

Mellow, soft around the pit, texts back. Might be Benny's actual friend, if Benny would just notice.
