#and got problems with projections

[tim-hoe-wan]

Idk why but I see it’s mostly us WOCS who saw through Selena’s manipulative ass 😭. Like Hailey you are one dumb bitch. Where’s your white woman tears? You’re now in a complete lose scenario cause you made the woman with a victim complex win and you didn’t use the white woman superpower. Like Bella Hadid had the right move never giving energy. It’s almost unreal how people didn’t know they’re straight up manipulated and also a fascinating study how her fans really do lose their minds and project on her. Cause their responses kinda give you an example of crazy mfers with no lives and overgrown highschool bs.

Anyway, Hailey one dumb ass. I would have had a victim off here when I saw duolingo at it. No way she’s gonna win against Selena but at least expose the companies who like aiding bullying like they did with Amber. She also was dumb always having to correct the pregnancy rumors. Just the dumbest white bitch moves when so many ripe for the taking.

Lol my mum just said the same thing about Selena being a master manipulator and Hailey just plain dumb. You gotta admit, the grade a manipulating is almost admirable. Still evil, but you gotta respect she’s good at it. If anything though, I think this is like an interesting study and expose to me of herd mentality, projection, people really do not care about mental healthy, fake news or misogny, and the lack of bullshit radar. Like it’s willful ignorance and projection if you really want to go all the way back 2017 or use circumstantial evidence and a lot of bias/reaching inference at best as evidence of anything recent. My criminal law professor gonna give you a lot of verbal beatings and ask you to take therapy for that.

You’re right though, I noticed it’s mostly my woc friends who could smell through Selena’s bullshit and manipulation. Dunno if we’re so used to getting gaslit by fellow women that we got better at seeing through it. Also the way we’re so used as the receiving end of racism and people only caring about it on surface level or on paper, we know when bullshitters just pretend to care about racism or social justice for that matter cause Hailey’s racism is an issue but willfully ignoring JB’s or Selena’s, then go on being racist to Justine Skye. Hailey’s white woman tears won’t be enough though cause she has no real fanbase and not likeable enough. She really needed to do something unhinged and found ways to blame it on you’re right that damn duolingo for one. She’s dumb though. Yeah maybe it got too much for her, but I have a hard time believing Selena’s usual modus operandi gonna end fr real this time. Anyway maybe we don’t have to hear about those two for quite a while cause they’re mostly doing very uninteresting stuff.

Saw some of your Hoshina Fics and it was stellar! Absolutely fucking amazing. You don’t know how damn happy I am to see Kaiju No.8 on my page. Your writing is phenomenal.

With that in mind, would it be possible to get another Hoshina request in? Preferably a Hurt/Comfort scenario. Maybe they’d have argued or something and they’re forced to actually confront each other’s insecurities. Because we like flawed adults going through their issues ✨together✨

If you’d like a more solidified vibe, try listening to Unsweetened Lemonade by Amélie Farren. It might give you some ideas!

I hope you have a wonderful day ahead of you!! :DD

notes: thank you so much for ur kind words ;-;; wahh... i love angst,... and functional relationships.... which is why i always write relationships on the verge of collapse... also thank you for the song rec!

hemming and hawing

soshiro hoshina x gn!reader theres a bit of drinking, but nothing extreme. word count: 1834

hoshina isn’t really good at communicating. for being the vice captain of a squadron of elite soldiers, where communication was often the difference between life and death–he’s really fucking bad at communication–or at least, the kind that requires you to be personal with other people.

he’s been ignoring you for days.

you’re not even sure why, at this point. you’d thought whatever relationship you were kindling was going fine, right? you weren’t exactly sure where the two of you stood, but you liked each other plenty, right? right? 

right?

so why was hoshina ignoring you? why did he sit so far away, make constant excuses to get up and leave? what the fuck was wrong with him? every time you’d grabbed him to talk–oftentimes having to physically hold him by the arm, because he’d often keep trying to walk away from you–he’d respond with one-word answers, not quite looking at you. you’d sit at your desk, so restless that your leg would bang against the underside of the table just wondering what the fuck was wrong with him. 

were his feelings a fluke?

hell, were yours?

what the fuck had you done wrong?

had you done something wrong? had you overstepped a boundary somewhere? but then again, how could you have? how could you have overstepped a boundary if he never made clear what his boundaries were? were you insane? what the fuck were you doing? or maybe the better question to ask is was soshiro hoshina worth this amount of hemming and hawing? was it worth it to lose your mind over his stupid face, when you saw him laugh at something okonogi said, or exchange quips with ashiro? was it worth it, when you knew he used to make the same faces towards you, used to look at you with something like measured affection behind his eyes–

you slam your head so hard against your desk that you can feel it starting to bruise.

no. no matter what, you were losing your mind over soshiro hoshina, damn him! damn him!

it keeps going on like this for a couple days–you try to talk to hoshina, he shrugs you off faster than any competent sentence you could possibly string together can form, and he leaves. the rest of the third division seems to notice, too–you’ve noticed twice in a row okonogi giving you a worried look. it wasn’t a hidden secret or anything that you and hoshina got along quite well, so if even okonogi was giving you a weird look…

you’d shrug, simply, give her a smile, and ignore the raging tire fire burning under your skin.

the next time you get a moment with hoshina is during a celebration party following a successful mission. you pour yourself a healthy glass of the strongest alcohol you can manage, and chug down the entire thing in one gulp, wiping your mouth inelegantly with your sleeve. and then out of the corner of your eye–

hoshina’s watching you with a half-interested look–a look more interested and engaged with you than any other time in the past few weeks–and you think the sight of that makes you angrier–so unbelievably angry, paired with new fire from alcohol underneath. 

you turn to grab hoshina by the collar, glaring up at him–

“hey, now,” hoshina says with a light laugh. “had a little too much to drink, darling?”

darling.

oh, this fucking jackass–you think you almost see red, your teeth grinding together, and you can almost feel your lips peeling back in the facsimile of a snarl. 

“you don’t get to call me that,” you whisper, voice shaking with anger, “not after you’ve fucking blown me off for weeks, soshiro.”

hoshina’s crimson eyes open a little more, staring down at you, right where your hand tightens against his shirt. you’re lucky that the hubbub of the party is keeping everyone from staring at you, which you’re furtively grateful for. you think, that maybe you see hurt reflected in his eyes, but that’s fucking ridiculous. why does he deserve to hurt? he’s the one who fucking blew you off, who didn’t talk to you for weeks despite the two of you clearly reciprocating feelings. what did he have to hurt over? 

“i’m sorry,” hoshina mutters, and he leans forward–

“don’t fucking TOUCH me!”

your voice is louder than you’d like, and that gets a couple eyes on you.

your face feels red, and you drop hoshina’s shirt. hoshina’s eyes are still watching you, his gaze unreadable for a moment before he turns to the eyes watching you, a warm smile–a clear facade, loud and clear to you, but imperceptible to most others. you know hoshina, now–you’d watched him, studied him with intensity. he couldn’t hide from you, even if he wanted to. which made the fact he’d spent weeks ignoring you more infuriating–which made this current facade, a pretending thing–so much more infuriating.

“sorry, everyone,” hoshina says. “seems like our lovely engineer here might’ve had a little too much to drink. come on, i’ll walk you back.” he looks back down at you.

his eyes have that same strange hurt still reflected in his eyes.

something about it tears your heart across unevenly. 

“okay,” you say stupidly, and you let hoshina handle your body, swing your arm over his shoulder as he pulls you up. 

the walk back sobers you up just enough���enough to realize that you’re absolutely fucking mortified–did you seriously grab him? but the better question was why didn’t he stop you? why had he just let you yell at him? why had he looked at you like that, with hurt and something like pity in his eyes? and you couldn’t even figure out what you were more mad at–

could he have done it because he thought he deserved it? 

hoshina opens up the door to your dormitory, letting you make your way to your bed. you slumped down, pressing your back against where your bed met the wall. 

“i’ll leave you alone,” hoshina murmurs. “get some rest.”

you’re angry again, upon hearing him say that. how could a guy like him push your buttons so easily? 

“so you’re just going to leave again?” you snap. “how the fuck is that fair? that’s all you’ve been fucking doing, leaving me even though all i want is to talk.  i thought you liked me!”

you hate how your voice cracks at the end, and you raise up your legs to hug them to your chest. “i thought you fucking liked me,” you whisper. “and you won’t let me talk to you, won’t let me get close–what the fuck was the point of saying you loved me if this is what you’re going to do? it’d be so much less cruel to break my heat, just say no…”

hoshina’s silent.

way too silent.

“i’m sorry,” hoshina says, and he leans down, drops on the bed next to you–the bed sags beneath his weight, and he raises a hand to touch where your hand hugs your knees to your chest–but you move away. you hate the way you almost relish in the way he seems hurt, but he places his hand between the two of you, a mediating bridge. “you can hit me, if you want.”

“what?”

you stare at him, your gaze incredulous. 

hoshina’s gaze is painfully soft, mixed with that strange pity. as if he deserves this.

“i’d deserve it,” hoshina murmurs. “i’m sorry.”

“i’m not going to hit you!” you say. “what would the point of that be? to prove yourself that you don’t deserve love? to prove to yourself you weren’t good enough? even though this is all your fault–”

hoshina’s gaze flickers at your words.

“that’s it, isn’t it? all part of your weird complex where you deny yourself things that you want!” you lean forward, reaching out to grasp him by the shirt. “so i was just fucking collateral damage to you?” you tumble for a moment, pushing him flat onto his back. he looks up at you, his lips parted for a moment. you feel your grip shaking for a moment, and your vision grows blurry– your eyes burn with tears as you shake. “i told you i knew what i wanted, you fucking idiot! i wanted you! i still want you!”

through blurred vision, you can see your tears dripping onto hoshina’s face–and hoshina just watches.

“i don’t care if you don’t think you’re not good enough,” you say through a choked sob. “you’ve always been more than good enough to me. do you get that? no, actually. you didn’t–because if you did you would have just talked to me like a normal fucking person!” you laugh desperately, crazily, almost–you feel fucking crazed. “and i’ve been driving myself mad! because of you!”

hoshina raises a hand to touch your cheek.

“take some fucking responsibility,” you rasp, tugging at his shirt. “take some responsibility for this! for what you’ve done to me!”

what a horrible thing love was.

your heart feels like it’s on fire, burned and scorched earth.

“i’m sorry,” hoshina repeats, simply. “you’re right.”

he leans up to press his forehead against yours, and you tremble.

“i was scared,” hoshina whispers. “that the things i’d said to kafka and the others–that you’d never know when you’d lose the people you love–that it’d come true. i was determined to shut myself out–make myself unknown again. i couldn’t–cross the boundary. to let myself have love. or anything like it. not from you.”

he sighs, gently nudging you to let him up. he leans close to you, presses his head against the wall to watch you. his gaze–this exact gaze, you’ve missed it. missed the way he watched you, with brimming fondness–and yet here you can see so clearly that there’s desperate pain in his eyes–bubbling and brimming just underneath the surface.

“i was struck by how much i wanted it. love. you. all of this. and i was scared because it could all just disappear so quickly,” hoshina continues. his hand touches your face, and you let that calloused touch, the familiar touch against your cheekbone, the bridge of your nose, your upper lip. “i didn’t–want to lose it. so i figured i could’ve just been happy with a little.”

“you fucking idiot,” you whisper in venomous response.

“yeah.” hoshina doesn’t deny it.

“i’ll give it to you,” you respond. “love. no matter how much you think you don’t deserve it. you don’t even have to ask.”

when hoshina looks at you again, he seems almost fractured at the possibility of it.

“i know,” he murmurs. 

“i love you,” you say, and your voice trembles for a moment. “you fucking awful piece of shit.”

hoshina laughs weakly.

“i deserve that,” he murmurs. “but i love you. i promise i do.”

you shake your head. 

“i know that,” you say. you reach out a hand to touch his face, and you can feel the smile forming on his face.

“okay,” he murmurs. “okay.”

New pjsk group leaked real not clickbait ⁉️⁉️⁉️

Lol but fr hello i finally finished all 4 chibi sprites. Here s more of them

I wanna make intro posts for them soon, but i think i ll do that when i finish their sekai fits fullbody drawings. For now here s some basic info bout em under the cut:

Group of outcasts and troublemakers somehow end up in eachothers lives and start making music together, to convey the feelings they can't vocalise.

Mayumi - He's an aloof boy that doesn't listen to anyone and is difficult to converse with due to his weird, roundabout way of conversing with people, if he replies to you at all. He loves fashion and music, spends a lot of time trying out different instruments but he has an electric guitar at home that he plays often. Oh and he usually wears his hair behind his ears and no band aid, but he has a lot of piercings and doesn't wanna get in trouble at school, because it'd be a nuisance.

Ayase - Ray of sunshine that won't stop can't stop- but despite being so friendly and easy to get along with, he doesn't seem to have many friends. He always gets in trouble for breaking the unform code.

Haru - Transfer student with infinite confidence that doesn't back down from a fight. He's chill for the most part, as he doesn't really speak, ever- but if you try to fuck with him you will regret it. Got expelled from his previous school for various things like skipping class very often, breaking uniform code, fighting students and teachers, and generally being a menace.

Yuuta - World's largest chiuwawa. Is scared of everything and everyone, and has a stutter. He doesn't actually attend school irl, his anxiety turning him into a shut in- but in his free time he loves going around town and doing grafitti. He makes double triple sure nobody will see him though, because if he gets caught he will probably combust and die. Grafitti is the only thing that's worth the anxiety to him though.

Their whole story as a group is finding reasons to keep trying- as all of them have given up, in one way or another.

Okay so. Apparently the copyright stuff is just. Standard copyright law shit. Nothing much different from any other company. My main issue tbh is like.... this is a webtoon, alright. Not some billion dollar corporation protecting their little precious property (which would still be absurd, but I digress)

If other projects, bigger than them, don't really give a damn about fan merch or commissions being made of their characters, then why should they. A niche indie webtoon. It's absurd

[miniagula]

movie sonadow would be so l umity-coded…and i say this bc their dynamic is similar to the games but with a different and tender perspective: they both empathize deeply with each other now, and this shadow is not as reticent or closed off bc of that. that being said: movie!sonic would ABSOLUTELY 'YOU'RE the sweet potato!' the hell out of shadow

People don't want character redemption they want a revenge plot from a story that was never supposed to be about revenge

[a2trid]

So many of my Darry HC are just random bits of very subtle subtext thrown together that don’t make that much sense but does when I explain it.

Like him having a minor ed(eating disorder) because of how tight money is and the fact that I believe he thinks of himself as less important compared to the gang and always makes sure they have a place to stay and food when needed. They don’t have the money for constantly having extra like Paul did, so Darry makes sure the others are feed before even thinking about himself.

The whole subtext reason is literally just because of poverty and how tight money was for them

(We don’t talk about the projection I’m projecting so hard rn)

I always had this really weird oneshit idea where Darry got like jumped at 10-14 once and only his mom knew, and he got a tooth knocked out but like towards the back so it’s not noticeable because he hardly smiles. May finish writing.

Damn I talk about him a lot.

Actually, I do have a question on your thoughts about the interesting relationship between Draco and Severus.

I'm not sure how much the movies got right or not but I know a common fanon theory is that Draco bonded with him as a kinda uncle/father figure? Honestly I looked back at 6 year and the only adult who actually actively seemed to notice and give a shit about Draco's deteriorating health was Snape and the way he always seemed to just expect things from Draco in such a way makes me think there's a more familial or maybe master and student (like I'm talking classic master of an art and apprentice kinda deal where they're very close and watching each other work) kinda deal.

I've always kinda agreed with this take but I don't have canon book evidence to really understand it more? Thoughts?

Interesting question. (I'm more of a book fan myself so as to how much the movies got right my personal view is - not much - despite the outstanding efforts by Tom Felton and Alan Rickman who both gave fabulous performances imho). I think the idea of Snape as a father/uncle figure to Draco is a very popular concept that is actually more fanon than canon. Certainly Snape and Draco have interacted outside school because Snape is friends with Lucius and presumably maintained that friendship even after Voldemort's first fall in preparation for resuming his duties eventually (because remember Dumbledore was certain Voldemort was not permanently destroyed, and he probably shared that information with Snape, even if he didn't explain why he was so sure).

I certainly think Snape would've therefore spent time around Draco - and professed to care about him to some degree in order to curry favour with Lucius. Of course, Lucius probably viewed Snape as an inferior (due to wealth and blood status) who he was taking under his wing (we see the start of that dynamic in the flashback in book 7 when Lucius is a Prefect). That power dynamic only started to change post book 4 as Snape rose in Voldemort's favour while Lucius fell.

I think Draco always liked Snape and considered him a family friend/acquaintance but I don't they were close enough that Draco would consider him a father figure or uncle. Especially since Draco already had a father who he looked up to and who was involved in his life (no I don't buy into the theories that Lucius was secretly Crucioing Draco over the holidays or anything like that) so I don't think he was that starved for an adult parental figure to turn to.

In book 6 Snape tries to help Draco (both due to his promise to Narcissa and because he's trying to find out Draco's plans in order to share them with Dumbledore) but Draco, despite being in a desperate situation, rebuffs him at every turn. He doesn't trust Snape and also probably resents him for rising in Voldemort's favour while his own father's fortunes have fallen.

This is just my personal read though and that doesn't mean that alternative readings or headcanons are wrong or uninteresting.

Tfw you wanted to get some Halloween outfits out for Fiddlestan and BillFord (possibly the twins too) on Halloween but your schedule is fucked, your busy with other projects and inspiration for costumes flew out the window so you’ll have to post way later then you actually wanted 😭

If I could plan my art better and ya know WORK DURING THE DAY INSTEAD OF SOLEY AT NIGHT this would be way easier lmfao

[demodraws0606]

My biggest pet peeve is when there is a WxS vine compilation on youtube but all of the vines joking about angst are about Tsukasa and not the rest of the unit like RRRRRRGH stabs you stabs you stabs yo-

[crimsonmonsoon]

If you can’t tell I am entirely obsessed with this guy

[scarefox]

I am just glad that James haters don't know his art and merch account.

But drawings like these are why these hate-trolls need to leave him the f alone under his music and dance videos. you can hate his stuff as much as you want but you are not a saint for "telling him the truth" by bullying him, someone with depression and anxiety disorder, just because he's not perfect enough for you...

So Greg Bryk regularly goes live on Instagram to chat with his followers and answer a few questions, and almost every time, someone asks if he’d like to play Joseph Seed again if he had the chance, to which he used to always reply that, yes, he absolutely would. However, in early 2022, he didn’t seem so sure anymore and said it would depend on the script (the question was specifically about a potential Far Cry 5 movie) and the writer(s). Then, a few months later, he implied he didn’t feel like playing the Father ever again because he thought the character’s story was “finished” and that Ubisoft should focus on creating new things instead…

Well, on October 14, 2023, he once again went live on Instagram and, when people mentioned Far Cry 5 in the chat, he revealed that he had reached out to Dan Hay and Drew Holmes, two of the game’s three main writers he’s become friends with, and that they had visited him “on set” (I’m not sure what he was shooting) the day before. In the past, he had already explained several times that he had loved working with them and thought the story they wrote (along with “JS”, Jean-Sébastien Décant, the game’s third main writer) was fantastic. This time, he added that Far Cry 5 was really “special” to him because the writers “cared a lot” about creating something great with amazing characters, and that he thought the whole Seed family was really well-written.

A few minutes later, when he was asked which character he would like to play again if he could, he said it was hard for him to choose because he loves them all, but he eventually picked Jeremy Danvers (Bitten) and Cobbs Pond (Frontier).

Then, surprisingly, he also mentioned Joseph.

I don’t know why he changed his mind again or if the fact he contacted Dan Hay (who doesn’t work for Ubisoft anymore) and Drew Holmes (who recently became the new IP Director for Far Cry) means anything, and I’m not sure I want more Far Cry 5 content to be released anyway (for continuity reasons), but I guess the Seed family’s return, as equally exciting and truly terrifying as this eventuality sounds to me, isn’t completely out of the question anymore in Greg Bryk’s mind!
