Hey, hi, long time no see. Here's a random wip I say this every time, but I should post my work... but tbh, I can't even remember what I posted here or not. ... I still wanted to post the second part of my SH2 essay, that I remember. Ugh..
About SH2 Pyramid Head symbolism and the remake PT.1
--mentions of sexual violence, suicidal themes and just overall mental illness-- please PLEASE DON'T READ BEYOND THE CUT IF YOU PLAN TO PLAY THIS GAME BUT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SILENT HILL 2!! There will be spoilers in this ''essay'' and I don't want to spoil such a great game for anyone starting fresh and blind, because that'd be the perfect way to start this game imho - your feeling toward this game will be heightened without knowing too much, plus forming your own view and having questions about it is also cool.
(***Had to cut this down into parts after watching 10+ hours of the remake and so much watching gave me a headache that felt like a literal hangover the next day ugh I felt like James lol otherwise it's too many topics and words in 1 post. This way it might be easier to organize them. )
------------------------------- My mind was blown recently. Ig I'm posting this to clarify more to myself than anything, but I had to search up Ito's recent comments about certain scenes with Pyramid Head. (ahem, the first cutscenes specifically). I've always had my own ideas and guesses about specific details playing as James, but after some clarifications on Ito's part about Pyramid Head.. it kind of jarred me, but at the same time explained other things and now my initial view of this game and its characters are validating my assumptions.. And if you knew about this already, well good on you.... Ito tweets so much sometimes, info like this gets buried and I had no idea until a week or so ago lol. So in light of SH2R releasing, I conveniently found out about some crucial details that would *also* inadvertently explain my (petty) gripes about SH2R. I watched the entire playthrough and my views have slightly altered (mostly positive, as this game was actually very faithful to the original imo). but for now I give you...a very wordy analysis on some themes of SH2. Excuse my rambly thought process though, it's very hard to organise them sometimes, I say to future self re-reading this later lol.
I'll be making an essay on SH2 symbolism lol
last week I found out some (mind blowing) info about the actual meaning behind PH attacking the monsters, courtesy of Masahiro Ito explaining this back in 2020... and he does *not* like the fans saying "sexual repression" being canon @_@;?
Anyway anyway, I have SO much to say about it all because it made the symbolism even more psychologically deeper. I will post my essay (specifically I'll be talking about PH and monsters' appearances in association with the characters' trauma) after SH2remake officially releases to avoid spoiling others - in the meantime I want to compare the original (replaying my HD collection) to the remake that released early yesterday.
So just a heads up for those that enjoy Silent hill symbolism analysis :3 im mainly doing this for my own references since I'm obsessed with it, but with this new info I'm readjusting my decades old views!! Arggh!!
Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?
Don't do this often, but this story made me see red; if there is anything in this world that I hate the most, it is child abusers (and child abuse apologists). I don't fucking care who you are, what you identify as nor your race: there are no amount of labels, illnesses - nothing - that you can use to excuse this level of depravity (nor any kind of sexual misconduct around children for that matter). This is downright demonic and there's too fucking much of this evil shit in the world. I wish the universe would just erase this bastard and all like him, just reformat completely to start over as dirt.
Well. First Nendoroid for the series and it’s….an in-game mascot. (This one comes out in Sept) I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed if not for the fact Gecco last released a bunch of robbies not *that* long ago silent hill merch is hard to come by ok 2 years ago is shortlmao But…yeah, I second PH. Both of them.
…cmonnnn I wanna see smol triangle headed menaces already, PLEASEE~
I can't believe that I was heard. Well, sort of. If it werent for the remake, this sweet little man wouldn't be a nendoroid right now!! (In jan 2025 :) better get your pre orders in hoho) half expecting nurse or James to get one next hurr
There is a really detailed and game-accurate PH plush releasing soon too that I want to grab (not the fangamer or goodsmile one, it looks eh) but 53 euro just to ship is aarghh whyyy...
Anyway, I have thoughts about the remake I've wanted to post about, and they changed a bit since the latest story trailer and ugh Maria.. that scene... very faithful, I'd say. I was negative about this game, but a little more positive about it now. Juust a bit. Mostly annoyed by the wind and rain in the town, it's not very .. 'silent'. and yeah PH looks good but...idk, not scary and too bright and oversaturated with colour. the whole game's palette is off from the og imho, it's throwing off the depressing lifeless atmosphere the game is notorious for. /minirant
RE2 Leon
haven't drawn for a while, have just been finishing on rendering commissions so just wanted to dust myself off and draw my boy again, finally.. am hoping to submit this one for something, but im gonna have to change the left arm and/or raised leg - my clarity's been off for several months..
Hey, let's talk about anons like this, because I know some people haven't been in a position to see the patterns these play out in on broader scale and may indeed not spot the trap.
And it is a trap.
An ask like this has several purposes.
First, it uses social justice language in passive aggressive and manipulative ways to try to coerce a behavior. In this case, the desired behavior is usually for the recipent to participate in community shunning and/or harrassment. The language above is intended to put the recipient on the defensive where, in the haste to disassociate themself from the Bad Thing, they quickly disassociate themself from the bad person, often with no particular fact checking or evidence.
The message is also intended to create a sense of being surveilled and judged by an unknown amount of people with unknown amount of social power and an unknown amount of relevance to your life.
Notice that these asks are usually framed as if they are coming from a follower or potential follower, someone who is addressing you personally and who cares about your opinion and who your blog has an effect on. However this is usually.... very much not the case. If you've ever had the misfortune to watch a gossip campaign from like this from the outside, you will very quickly notice that messages like this get sent in mass batches to dozens and dozens of strangers. (You can often turn these up with a tumblr search, if you look.)
The sender does not know you and probably does not follow you. They have a person they don't like (possibly for their stated reason and possibly not), and they are going through the reblogs of a post from that blog and mass messaging *everyone* with a form letter. They will not see your response and they will probably never even see your blog again.
Which brings us to the second goal of whisper campaigns like this:
Notice that I blacked out the names above? That's because when the recipient answers anonymous asks like this, they provide a platform for the opinion on their blog. An anonymous message like this that gets posted doesn't just spread gossip and apply pressure to the recipient, it is spread to the recipient's entire community.
The *goal* is to get access to your community. The *goal* is to use you as a soapbox.
Is the information accurate? Did anyone check? Does the anon have an ulterior social motive? BIG SHRUG
If you go into the comments on one of these whisper campaigns you will see that *most people never bother to check.*
They assume good faith from a follower, they're off balance defending themselves, and they jump straight to conciliation.
It's a really, really effective form of social manipulation, and really really commonly misused.
This is what bullying on social media can look like especially in left-leaning/social justice minded circles. This is how otherwise caring people get roped into participating in harassment campaigns.
Argh.. I keep doing this fucking thing where i start so many new illusts to add to the mountain of wips i already have.... I just started this one yesterday and I wonder when I will grow bored of it. it's art meant for an adult event shh
some wips
90% of the damn time ffffff!!
Ugghh I really wanted to complete the Dragunov week thing on time but it started right after I finished a con, and I have 3 more to prepare for by july .. and now, I feel like I'm on the verge of flu; perfect fkng timing TT_TT I thought I could squeeze some art in but it's taking up the time I need for everything else. I already put so many other things on hold for one of those cons in 2 weeks bc I'll be debuting some prints there.. so drawing completely different things rn was uhm, ambitious lmfao faarrk... why is everything all at onceee... OTL and there's never enough time!!
Sighh sorry...I can't guarantee I can do all of them but I'll at least say I want to revisit this event and finish the prompts.. it's actually good exercise
Day 3 - Vampire When you're invited to dinner, but you're on the menu... Yeah pretty much my excuse to contribute to this event was to draw this prompt. Weakness... I have 99 Dracunov wips from 2 years ago already ... but at least this ain't one of them lmao
I doubt I can complete the full Dragunov week, but anyway Day 1 : First day in the Army His face is so naked.. hard to paint him young (and lean); knowing my ass likes to make everyone look mature lol
Our boy was robbed, point-blank... that shit almost felt like intentional sabotage
One of Griff's fantasies..
