the interest check for hesperious sands is still open, and contributor applications open tomorrow (feb 01)! this is an open-call zine, as in, ideally, unless you have some content (racist, queerphobic, etc.) that deems you not a good fit, you'll be accepted!

Come get a snake-eyed view at @kestrius ' wallpaper! Their detailed brushstrokes and textures are on a whole new world! .

Preorder the zine here!

I have never seen SY not give a crap what "the scum villain" thinks of him. Not one where his troll persona is utilized and still ends with SJ and SY on good terms.

Like, why would he care if the villain hates his guts? Binghe will take care of him in the end anyhow. And SY has a plan to become a useful acquaintance to Binghe with his knowledge of everything PIDW if it comes down to them meeting.

So yeah SY bullies SJ when he is bullying someone else. And SJ actually responds better to that than any flowery words and niceties he will never truly believe or appreciate.

Imagine: both of them are street kids, and SY is actually an adult so he has some idea of ways to survive on his own. And then he sees SJ and YQY being kind of desperate and offhandedly tosses some of his own food to them while making fun of SJ about his lack of basic life skills. SJ hates this guy on the spot.

Or SY and SJ are peak lords in the same generation. SJ throws scathing remarks at everyone and then gets to SY. SY gives as good as he gets. They banter and they don't even know it, they think they're arguing. They are not.
