[i-love-harryosborn-dotcom]

Wolfsborn AU?? Wolfsborn AU.

Becoming a wolf man is complicated, being in love with a guy who flakes out on you a lot (and is secretly a wolf man) is complicated. But i like to think they make it work really well

And i like to think that whenever Harry finds out- it’s whimsical n fun n romantic n cute

Hey yall, this is a long time coming, and this is how ill address it TW drugs mostly

I know ive been gone for some time, on and off posting, and not responding much to dms. i want to tell yall that my intention isnt to run away or scam yall at all. things have been really difficult, so heres whats happening

My partner and i recently split up, and its honestly been a long time coming. our relationship had been steadily going down hill for a while, and it effected my overall motivation to do pretty much anything, like draw for myself, let alone commissions. theres been constant drinking and c*ke around me that ive been so extremely uncomfortable with, as well as being lied to, cheated on, and just so mentally unwell with my own depression, anxiety, and resurfacing trauma, that i couldnt tell what was true and what wasnt, with the constant lying and sneaking around and just everything, the entire environment i was in

it was harder since i was going to work so much that i never had true time for myself or to really work on things, and everything was so overwhelming for me since i couldnt take any breaks from work since my ex partner had just taken off work for a long time to drink, and i was pretty much the only one responsible for paying bills and trying to feed myself and partially feed the 3 other people with us.

i currently cant even live in my own apartment and dont have most my stuff, so im also readjusting to everything thats changed as well as finding a new job

i still need time before i can fully come back and finish up commissions, and i thank you for your patience, im really trying to get back into the groove of my life and move past everything, but its very difficult so itll take me some time, but i really would like to come back and continue making art and friends

i do have a full list of all owed art, if youd like to message me you can, but i most likely dont have an update for you, im doing my best to move past this and bring yall stuff to look at/what i owe

i just hope that yall can understand why ive been disappearing and re appearing over the past year, and i love anf appreciate the little community i have. out of all the things ive lost over the past year and a half, i definitely dont want to lose yall. ill see yall soon though, dont be afraid to message me!

yeonjun back hugging you and slowly gets his hand in your underwear, fingering you as he marks your neck. you wanted to moan but he places his free hand over your mouth, keeping you quiet so that his parents don’t hear you guys…

- @loser-loverhours

yeessthe two of you would be sitiing on the bed but hes sitting behind you and you both are watching tv, it starts out all innocent with no sexual intentions just the two of you wanting to be together enjoying each others company🥺

but he starts kissing by kissing your cheek then moving down to your neck then stopping turning his attention back to the tv all while youre looking at him with doe eyes but he has a sly grin on his face. so eventually you turn your attention back to the tv and he starts to redo it all over again this time placing open mouthed kisses on your neck sucking on the sensitive skin eventually leaving marks and then sliding his hands into your pants rubbing your cl*t in small circles causing you to whimper eventually speeding his hand up which makes you let a moan that was a little to loud so he throws his other hand over your mouth to keep you quiet.

“sshhh you dont want my parents to here you do you.. my mom is really fond of you how do you think she’d feel knowing her sweet healing junnie is up here causing you to make such noises🥺🥺.. then again idc since she’ll find a way to blame you🥱🥱🥱.. i can never do no wrong in her eyes🥺🥺.. yeah mommy she told me to do i🥺🥺”.

he then slid his fingers down into you and start pumping them in and out slowly but its a little to slow for your liking so you try to move to signal to yeonjun to pick up the pace but yeonjun has other plans. he takes his hand off of your mouth and starts to pump his fingers faster forcing you to hold back your moans and whimpers yourself. you were doing fine until he started to use his free hand to draw cirlces around your cl*t and you continue to try and attempt to hold your moans and whimpers jn with a few of them almost escaping out.

but then he stops. “ nnnooooo baby whyd you stop i was so close😖”. “yeah ik but i want to get in on this action too🤤🤤” so he’ll lay you down on your back quickly taking off his sweatpants as you also take your bottoms off before he slides himself in you(with condom ofc) quickly finding his groove. still on edge from earlier you try to fight back your moans and whimpers but yeonjun started hitting your spot and you accidentally letted out a plethora of moans causing him to slow down and eventually stopping “😑STFU” he would whisper yell.

upon hearing the moaning his mom would come and knock on the door mistakingly taking the moans as cries of pain she would ask if you were alright. thats when he would he start looking like this😈 and restart his movements but he’ll be moving very very slow. “arnt you going to answer baby.. you wouldnt want her to open the door thinking you get hurt would you🥺🥺😈”

im sorry i got carried away i didnt mean for it to be this long😭😭.. the ideas started flowing and wouldnt stop…. (can yall also tell i forget to take the readers pants off so i just added an excuse to take the pants off🥲😭😭)

[sofiaruelle]

i love your art so much! youre so talented!

Huhuhuhu thank you!!! 💕💕💕💕

Im pretty excited about the glow up. I've been art blocked since 2018??? And finally went on hiatus for 6-7months???? Last year. And ive only recently have been trying to get back in the groove of drawing again. 😭😭😭

Would really like to thank my friends and concerned ape for stardew. It lit a fire in me again. As cheesy as it sounds. Im taking my time tho drawing whatever the fuck i want this time around!!! Just gotta remember its ok to slow down and take breaks, so i dont burn myself out. Whoop whoop!!!! I promise the bachelors are coming soon. But like i am enjoying drawing girls. Its a bit of a crutch. But my sapphic heart is thriviiiinnngggg.

[madeintimeland]

im oversharing this got long sorry. just reminscing on shit ive thought about a million times over again

theres so much art i want to create and so little motivation. i should start smoking weed again bc every time im high i get my best ideas or at least like, it takes away the layer of film over my brain that stops me from being able to come up with creative ideas, but also im scared its going to send me into mental hell again. like i need to be in a perfect state for it lest i fear im going to invoke my months long existential crisis again and i Cannot be doing that shit rn. but also i wonder if its going to be worth it anyways if i can create something to leave on this earth again. like ive been so bad at creativity lately like i want to draw and produce things and im bubbling over with energy and i feel the ideas fermenting in the deep recesses of my brain like theyre nestled into the grooves and folds but i cant access them yet. and i know i can if im stoned. i might turn into a hermit hunched over my tablet all hours of the day just making shit tbh. i absorb so much of the things around me and i know if i try to make something now its going to basically be direct copies of the things i saw but if im high im sure i can actually create something new and beautiful. im scared of being intoxicated again but i was scared to drink again too and i got drunk and proceeded to love it and want to drink every single day because surprise surprise i have alcoholism coded into my dna and consequentially have an addictive personality in general. which is why i felt like my life was useless without weed. all up until i was finally able to get my hands on a stash that would let me smoke whenever i want versus when i would get a small amount every couple of months and completely and utterly fail at ratioing it out and binge it all and then have ridiculously introspective trips where id start to go a little crazy at the end (i have a distinct memory of looking at a meme that had a woman on it and thinking ‘jesus christ... what the fuck is that’ and then spiraled into thinking about how life is pointless but i didnt have enough weed to continue with that train of thought and if i did i may have had my crisis a lot earlier, it was just inevitable) i just felt like being high was the only time i could actually get in touch with my inner self again. like i used to before the thick clouds of depression and psychosis settled in. but then i finally was able to get high for longer than short bursts of time and it all came to a head where my brain broke and i have existential terror now that i feel im going to not be able to deal with confronting again. but every time i say that it never ends up staying permanently, it comes in waves, it all comes in waves. back and forth. i feel beauty in life and then i feel fear. i feel like its all worth it and then i cant stop thinking about the inevitable heat death of the universe and the pointlessness of it all. and then i get a hug or listen to a really good song and i feel like its worth it again. i wonder if this is just a period in my life im not a total stoner or if its actually permanent. anyways point is i want to make so much stuff that my hands ache and my brain rots when i think about how many things inspire me. thats why my aesthetic tag is #inspiration, its been like that for many years now, its stuff that inspires me. but at what point am i going to turn that inspiration into reality? im bad at initiative. my initiative is going to be when i pick up the pot again because im too lethargic and procrastinatey to create the things i want any other time. but when will that be? i cant see a therapist or anything rn and working it out on my own has been mildly successful, not bad, im not spending every single day in terror like i was at this point last year. it started all going away around august after starting in march. march 30th in fact. from then on its been a constant battle with dissociation. funny because just earlier in march was some of the best experiences of my life. i think if lockdown never happened this never would have happened either but at the same time im left wondering how anybody can go through their life without wondering about the meaning of it all and coming out the other side with purpose and resolve. mine was to enjoy myself and find as much beauty and love in life as i can before i die and enhance the lives of the people around me while i can because i feel too small to do anything on a grander scale. and im fine with that, for the most part, but i still get attacked by these waves of thought where i wonder what the purpose of reality is . i always have to smack myself and remind myself no dumbass you already went over this a million times, just enjoy yousrelf while youre here. but when im high its a million times worse cuz the only time i can get my mind off it is when im replacing it with horny thoughts and thats not the only thing i wanna do when im high ofc i want to experience and create and listen to music. but i mean i havent smoked since june. i think the 15th ? i could go back and read my journals to tell exactly when it was but yeah its been almost a year now and i feel like i might have it in me again. i used to love getting high and working on shit so much. some of my best works and most  creative projects and honestly just most enjoyable periods of my life were when i was high. going back to what i was saying about early march 2020 being the best time of my life, idk what it was about me but i was just having a grand old time experiencing absolute beauty playing ark with my friends, feeling so creative and developing new ideas and experiences, and using the freedom and motivation i felt ingame to also want to explore the world irl. i seriously was close to actually finally reading my survival manual and start camping and shit and i wanted to visit my relatives in their hella secluded farmhouse in the middle of fuck nowhere kansas, cuz i did visit there during that time period and i loved it to death, i felt so free. two different relatives actually and they both had that same aesthetic about them. of course they were horribly racist but i mean, thats rural kansas for you. i just wanted to camp in their woods. its funny because that month was simultaneously the best and worst of my life. all because of weed! if i never started smoking or rather never found a reliable source at that point in my life i wonder how i wouldve turned out? id like to chalk this up to fate that im like this, maybe its for the best, maybe smoking again wont help me but maybe it will. i have a way to ease myself back into it i just need that leap of faith and  bravery like i felt when i was drinking again. its funny because i used to be such a fucking druggie and i wanted to get high all the time and then after my existential crisis that all just. stopped. i feell ike everyone i know is sick of me talking about it but it really fundamentally changed me on the inside even if it doesnt seem like it much on the outside so i feel its right of me to talk about it sometimes. it makes me feel better at least. like this is jsut a thing t hat happened, not a fated break from the universe i cant come back from yknow? i dunno. ive rambled on way too fucking long and idk if anyones gonna read this. tldr i want to draw and create so many things and i have too many ideas to deal with but i only feel ill be able to unlock my creativity and motivation if im high but due to bad past experiences im terrified to get high again. i mean ive done and made some pretty cool stuff since then but the motivation and ideas are much fewer and far between compared to the absolute deluge i get when im stoned , whether any of my ideas are actually any good or if they were just high ramblings is up to debate but i think it gave me a really good way of looking at things and i made some pretty cool stuff and i miss it a lot but i dont know if going back to it is going to be a mistake or not and im not brave enough to find out if itll hurt me again or if im ready. yyyyaaaayyyyy hahahaha ✌

[uniformbravo]

fuck it im doing another one, this is the artist themed one

🖍️ When did you start drawing? Do you remember?  

me whole life babieeee the earliest thing i remember drawing is some dinosaurs inspired by the land before time uh. they were camping, they had tents. i drew it on the inside of the cover of a picture book. i still have it,

that's, uh, littlefoot and his family, or something. i think i drew it when i was 4 or 5

✏️ Do you prefer traditional art or digital to relax?  

traditional bc it doesnt hurt my hand as much ;p

📏 What’s your go-to canvas size?

used to be like 540x700 px bc tumblr post size but now its like idk 2000x3000 px bc whatever man. i actually don't remember what i usually go for that was a guess

☕ Do you do warmup sketches before drawing? (Bonus: do you have any to share?)

yea i do warmup sketches but usually it’s just drawing whatever comes to mind until i feel sufficiently warmed up to try the idea i had in mind beforehand so that idea doesnt look shitty. i dont do any of those like “draw a curvy line ten times” or whatever

🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view?

varies between right and left depending on the day but usually both are easier than front

📚 How many layers do you typically use?

one for sketch, one or two for lineart, like 4 or 5 for color, one-ish for bg, and then whatever extra effects i wanna add on top, so that all comes out to like... 8-10 layers i guess. idk i dont feel like opening clip studio to check

🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort?

sad characters babey

🎁 Do you prefer drawing fandom stuff or your own characters?

it depends on my mood like if im deep deep deep in a fandom then all i’ll want to draw is that fandom but if im not really into anything in particular atm then i’ll usually default back to my ocs unless inspiration for smth else strikes... so yea i like to do both basically

🌈 Do you use more warm or cold colors?

i guess i usually go for cold

🎼 Your favorite music to draw to right now?

right now? hmm well im not all that into music rn i tend to put on streams or yt vids instead but... as for music, recently i was into the silent voice ost, particularly vol 2

🙌 Draw a doodle with your non-dominant hand

 no

📐 Whats your favorite kinds of lines to draw?

long hair

💐 Do your drawing suit your aesthetics?

not quite but im working on it

🦋 Do your drawings resemble you?

no idea bro

✨ How often do you draw?

not nearly as often as i’d like :( it’s a juggling act between my passion, mental health and physical ability... i’d love to be able to do it every day, but well. alas

🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?

oh night for sure, though i have been doing it pretty exclusively during the day lately... i definitely find it easier to get into the groove at night tho

🍭 What’s your main art blog / what do you tag your art with?

my art blog is @musicaltincan​ follow there 4 me art

🍀 You wish your art was more..(fill in the blank)

hmmm. i'd like to get better at color

🌊 What’s the hardest thing for you to draw?

lately i’ve been struggling with environmental design/composition

🙊 Share your latest silly doodle with no context

thats all i got chief

A Crown in Time!

hello there, everyone! the time has finally come for me to reveal all the swapped characters for a crown in time, some art, and more! we start out with hat kid and bow kid. snatcher, named snatch kid in the au, takes hat kid’s place! timmy, bowtie kid, gets a spot in this as well, taking the role of co op character bow kid! conductor and dj grooves, train bird and groovy penguin, aren’t very friendly in the og universe, but in this au they take mustache girl’s place and become the friendliest (and most dangerous) duo! mafia are OUT! nyafia are IN! that’s right, the mafia and mafia boss are switched with lazy paw gang and cooking cat!  on to the next chapter, we have vanessa taking conductor’s place, and mafia boss, dj cook, taking dj grooves’ place! their assistants in movie making are fire spirits (manor spirits) and moon goons! well, chapter 3 is kinda.. different. hat kid, hatter, takes snatcher’s place. and mustache girl, queen mustache, takes vanessa’s place. but bow kid gets an appearance as moon jumper’s role, how is this possible? moon jumper is a scrapped character! well in this au, sea yearner turns that all around and shows up frequently in chapter 3! hatter has to have minions like snatcher, so the nomads, hatter’s minions, help out! they’re more willing, though. i mean, wouldn’t you want to help out someone who died fro- AH! getting off topic, and about the spoil the whole story! anyway. yknow those enemies you barely see? shock squids? they take the place of fire spirits, as water ghosts! and the express owls are the dwellers (dwelling owls). chapter 4 has the exact same stuff, besides characters. that said, moon penguins take the place of nomads as moonads, and seals take the place of the goats as, well, seals! big seals, though. i didn’t forget chapter 6! the captain is replaced by the badge seller, and the seals are replaced with the dwellers before they, uh, died. here’s some art!

that is a poster-ish piece i made for the au, displaying the main characters! you can see that snatch kid is just a younger prince, and train bird/groovy penguin were designed to try and mix them as children in the storybook and as adults in the game! the nyafia appearance wise are exactly the same in og universe and the au. vanessa has her crown, and a less tight outfit. dj cook has a fancier outfit, and sunglasses now! hatter is. well, yeah. ghost excuse the logo, cause i have no idea how to draw logos. like, literally. especially the silhouette. im so bad at silhouettes. you may notice, each character has a flower, and snatch kid has a bouquet of them. that’s because flowers are the replacement for time pieces-- but wait, why are they on a tree? thats because snatch kid and bowtie kid live in a treehouse! they use the flowers just to decorate their treehouse. they never need to be watered, so its really easy for them to use them. but another magic trait they have is to turn back time, which train bird and groovy penguin are interested in... but in order to find out more, you have to ask the characters (once asks are open)! yeah, im gonna try to do something where in order to find more about the story of the au you, the person reading this, have to ask questions to the characters available for asks! i know this blog might not even become popular, but! that’s how im gonna do it for now. if the blog isn’t getting any attention, i dont know what ill do. but yeah! asks will open soon!

[monsterprommatchup]

Hello! Could I have a matchup please? Im very shy at first but i just come across as mean and scary when I dont mean to. Im pretty loud and fun one you get to know me but have my quiet moments too. Im extremely introverted and spend most of my time listening to music and drawing. Im super into conspiracy theories, horror, and gore stuff. I love sending my friends weird meme videos at 3am to freak them out. Id rather have a simple calm life with dogs and crime shows compared to my rocky past

Your prom date is Scott Howl!

How could anybody think you are mean and scary? You smell like sunshine and puppies and paint and laughter! He would be all over right from the beginning. It would take some time for him to get into the groove of things, to understand that you don’t want to be bothered or go outside and play ball all the time. But Scott loves you and just really wants to spend time with you! So whenever you need your downtime and listen to music or paint, he will either lay by your feet yo you could scratch his head or watch you paint. Scott just wants to be close to you, he doesn’t really care what you guys are doing.

Scott believes in conspiracy theories, because they can’t be lying right?? Who would lie about Elvis living beneath the ocean? So he would listen to your every word, whenever you tell him about a new conspiracy theory! And you make them sound so exciting and interesting! You are so smart did you know that? Because Scott thinks it’s important that you know that you are the smartest person he knows!

he is the bravest wolf in town, so of course he isn’t afraid when you two watch horror movies or you send him meme videos. he is a brave, good boy! He would try to send a few back but his aren’t as good as yours. But he gets all warm and fuzzy inside when you send him emojis that tell him that you liked it!

But at the end of the day he just wants to cuddle you and enjoy life together.

[obannthepunished]

uhhhhhh notes HURT WEEK im pains

"They call me eagle-eye fjord where i come from." "maybe raven. i dont know." that theory about Fjord being the Hawker is suspicious rn (Apparently theres a third i missed whoops) sam apparently similar thoughts maybe bc Nott brings it up

Jester finally teaching kiri basic phrases, like "go fuck yourself"

Beau + Fjord taking first watch

Caleb checking out the dodecahedron

(Unrelated odd point: i have a current dislike/distrust for liam, which is bullshit bc... i love liam. and caleb and vax. but apparently smt is wrong.)

Dodecahedron is Very Old, and has been shaped/polished Cay uses the haversack as a pillow

BEAU/FJORD Beau: "I think I messed up. I think I should apologise." I HURT? Oh beauregard. oh marisha. "i wanna try, I guess" F: I think he deserves that. He's been good to us. i regret not writing fic now 8(

1-10 for the ask writer's meme :) I love your work btw.

;; thank you!!! 

1: what inspires you?

inspiration is a hard one for me. since my mind runs a mile a minute i have a lot of ideas floating around at any given time. i usually latch onto one and that eventually blooms into a fic. sometimes im inspired by pictures or songs as well, but as of late its mostly been my own brain going overdrive on thinking about ideas 

2: one of your favorite comments/reviews on this chapter/verse?

its really hard to choose because when i get comments, theyre all so nice and i love them so so much!!!! i guess a lot of the comments on The Seven Gifts were sweet but its too hard to choose 

3: what motivates you?

OOH BOY 

uhh motivation is a... thing. i dont have a lot of it if im being honest. i tend to push myself to just do it so i guess my motivation is me yelling at myself to write. i’ll also be more responsible about writing if im writing something for someone else (like prompts, gifts, etc) because im excited to write for them and that makes me excited to write. then i tend to get into a groove of just writing 

4: what time of the day/night do you like to write?

if im being real honest any time after midnight is my writing time. 1-2am is ideal though. idk why but i think because im less inhibited its easier for me to bang stuff out and then i can look back at it after sleep

5: do you write scenes in a linear fashion or do you write future scenes/dialogues sometimes?

im more a linear writer. it helps for me because if i write things out of order it will get confusing. however! if theres a line or something bugging in my head i’ll write it down or notes about a scene so i dont forget them. 

6: hardest/easiest character to write for?

ooof well going lotr/hobbit-wise... since i mainly focus on bilbo and thorin, i would say those two are the easier ones. i also have an easy time writing bofur and a lot of the dwarves. since i rarely touch into elf territory a lot of the elves would be harder for me to write (like... i think i did ok with galadriel, tauriel is fun to write but im always iffy on if ive captured them right) 

7: hardest/easiest verse to write for?

well the hobbit ‘verse in general is easy for me to write in. i’d say if its another fandom that ive only dipped my toes in, i might struggle to write for them because i need a lot content consumed to feel like i can properly write. 

8: (if you have either or both) how do you manage time with writing, work, school etc.?

its more difficult for me to write during the semester times but i try to produce stuff on the occasion. my homework always comes first and i;ll try to work in a bit of time writing or editing. my job sometimes will be quiet enough that i can write like i did tonight! 

9: what tv shows, books, or movies inspire for this verse, if any?

obviously the hobbit and lord of the rings! i draw from both the books and movies, but i think my canon tends more towards movie canon than book canon, obviously. 

10: any writing advice?

WRITE. write write write write. if you are lingering on an idea, write it out. it may not always be the best, most amazing thing you’ve written but i guarantee that it will be better than if its sitting in your head. and if its not good, who cares? you dont have to share everything you write out. i dont. some days my writing doesnt feel good at all. other days im scrambling to keep up with my muse as i go through pages of writing. you can only improve if you keep writing!

positivity for naegi who feels overwhelmed and stressed by school

ur positivity is under the cut naegi

naegi, school can be really stressful for everyone, and im sorry that school is making u feel overwhelmed. dealing with stress can be pretty difficult, and i know that sometimes it can be hard to remember that the stressful times will pass, but i know that things are going to get better for u soon. until then, though, it might be best for u to take ur mind off of school for a little while and try to focus on ur physical and mental health

its important to take breaks whenever ur doing schoolwork, in order to make sure that ur not overworking urself and that ur feeling alright, so one of the best things u can do is try to incorporate breaks whenever ur doing school work, even if ur break is just stretching ur arms during class before getting back to work. during ur breaks, remember to take care of urself and just let ur mind go easy for a little while, and then once uve gotten some time to relax, then u can get back into the groove of things and feel refreshed while doing so

another thing that tends to help with stress is to take care of urself while ur home, take warm bubble baths, listen to music, and find some time to just let urself be comfortable (u can also do this during breaks). if ur feeling hungry or thirsty, eat or drink something, and if it helps u relax to do something (such as draw or sing), then u should definitely take a few minutes out of ur schedule in order to do so. no matter what, just take some time at home to breathe a bit, relax, and take ur mind off of everything

this piece of advice might not be helpful if u dont have anything thats due (that u can turn in later with no penalties from an excused absence) or ur attendance isnt that good, but since my parents knew that i was pretty good about doing my school work and going to school, if i wasnt ready to turn in my school work on the day it was due, my parents would allow me to miss a day so that i could try to catch up, and if thats something that u can do, u should definitely remember to try it. of course, not everyones parents are that relaxed, and its not something u can do very often, but if ur stressed because of something thats coming up and ur not quite ready yet, it might help to give u a day to keep working on it

naegi, im sorry that school has been stressing u out, and i want u to know that ur not alone with the stress u feel. no matter what, there are always people that u can talk to whenever ur feeling stressed, and no matter what, im sure u can make it through this. until then, please try to take care of urself, and i hope that ur school year gets a bit better and that u dont have to go through this stress and overwhelming workload for very long

please stay safe naegi, and if u want someone to talk to im always here

That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost (The New York Times). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices.

A River in Darkness: One Mans Escape from North Korea by Masaji Ishikawa

Half-Korean, half-Japanese, Masaji Ishikawa has spent his whole life feeling like a man without a country. This feeling only deepened when his family moved from Japan to North Korea when Ishikawa was just thirteen years old, and unwittingly became members of the lowest social caste. His father, himself a Korean national, was lured to the new Communist country by promises of abundant work, education for his children, and a higher station in society. But the reality of their new life was far from utopian. In this memoir translated from the original Japanese, Ishikawa candidly recounts his tumultuous upbringing and the brutal thirty-six years he spent living under a crushing totalitarian regime, as well as the challenges he faced repatriating to Japan after barely escaping North Korea with his life. A River in Darkness is not only a shocking portrait of life inside the country but a testament to the dignityand indomitable natureof the human spirit.

what do you love most about living in sydney? and like least?

I love the beaches and the harbor. in fact the harbor is my favorite thing. I try and make sure I see the harbor at least one a day (which isnt hard cause i work in mcmahons point, cross the bridge to go to uni/ebbs place) Our city skyline is one of the most beautiful vistas in the world (and i can say that with conviction because I have seen a lot of the world lol) i love the festivals (in victoria, so not really sydney, but i love that i can still get to them), i love the markets, kiribilli, glebe, manly etc they are all lovely weekend morning outings... I love our lifestyle to an extent. I wish sydney people would dress up more, i miss walking through the streets of london or copenhagen or berlin and constantly staring at people in owe of how sick they look. I draw so much inspiration from those around me and here... everyone looks shit ahah the general style is so comfortable and regular and v dull. I also hate the nightlife... since coming back, i might have had one actual good night out in sydney and that was at foot traffic. BEN FUCKING UFO played at a warehouse a few weeks ago and it was terrible. how the fuck did we make ben ufo terrible? the crowd was munted and unsettled, the music kept getting turned down, the venue was wayyyy to hot (to the point where its all anyone could think about) and there was no vibe at all, i am a big dancer and i struggled to get any level of groove going. its also so fucking expensive.... i paid $50 when i first got home to go to warehouse party and at like 2am THEIR SPEAKERS BLEW. i mean honestly, how fucking hopeless do you have to be, throwing a party and blowing your speakers... anyway i actually do love living here so much, and im grateful every fucking day for being brought up here, we have such a unique, outdoors (warm weather) lifestyle and even though i probably don’t want to live here for much longer, i love calling sydney home !
