when you specifically type in a CERTAIN SPECIFIC SHIP and your results are anything but that certain specific ship.

Hiiii!!!! 😊👋 So I only just started Kaiju no. 8!!! New to the fandom and not a manga reader. Idk what’s going to happen in the next episode—all I know is that Hoshina better not d*e lol.

Anyways!!! Obviously I am a huge Hoshina fan/simp!!! I really like your blog and I have enjoyed your Hoshina fics!!!!!! 🥹 And since your requests are open, I wanted to know if I could perhaps make one??? 👉👈

If so, I was wondering if you could do something sort of related to your “say it!” fic??? Like where Hoshina (+ reader) somehow bumps into the ex from operations you mentioned in the fic??? And reader gets SUPERRRRR jealous (lord knows I would be especially if said ex was really beautiful and smart) and insecure. Maybe reader acts a bit distant/moody after the encounter but once Hoshina realizes what’s up he immediately reassures reader and let’s them know how much he loves/cares for them???

Sorry if this request is weird or doesn’t make sense to you, I’ve honestly just been thinking about a similar scenario ever since reading that fic of yours 😭😭 anyways thank you so much for your time 🫶❤️ and please never stop writing, your fics are beautiful 💖💕

notes: hihi; thank you so much for your request; i hope that this is okay; you sent this in before the most recent episode but hoshina's a fairly important character to the story of kaiju no 8 overall so he'll be alright... i combined this with a slightly different ask which also surrounded jealousy but with okonogi; it's very briefly mentioned though.

jealousy as the crux

soshiro hoshina x gn!reader no warnings should apply, i think. wc: 837

hoshina always maintained rather easy conversation with a lot of people—friendly conversation that sometimes got the better of your self esteem when he teasingly doted on okonogi or otherwise. 

you’d tried not to bring it up, to not bother him—because envy and jealousy like that was an ugly emotion, of course. it wouldn’t be right to burden hoshina with them–mostly because you weren’t even sure how he’d react. he was plenty envious on his own, you think–key point on think. but it might have been for more reasonable things, surely. like the envious desire to become stronger, or something noble like that.

nothing quite like yours. 

but stumbling on hoshina’s ex was never on your list of priorities at all. 

so the fact that she was here—was her name amaya?—only made you more uncomfortable. you barely knew anything about her other than the fact that okonogi spoke her name with strained reverence, cautious to never bring it up around hoshina. hoshina seemed to be uncaring of it all, even so–as if he couldn’t be bothered to remember. 

she was smoking indoors, her eyes tired and weary. 

hoshina didn’t seem to tense up when talking to her, which strangely irked you more. 

“hoshina,” amaya says, approaching hoshina with a raised eyebrow. she pats his shoulder, and he chuckles.

“you look well,” hoshina murmurs. 

“hm. well as i’ll ever be.” her eyes flit to you, her eyes narrowing. you felt uncomfortable under her gaze, as if you were some unique kind of insect to be pinned up in a collection. “this your new partner? they’re cute.”

“hm?” hoshina laughs. “aren’t they?”

the compliment doesn’t feel good, somehow, as it usually does.

“thought you said you wouldn’t date again,” amaya says, dusting off some ash off the tip of her cigarette, taking another breath before blowing it away from the two of you. “not that we really were.” she snorts. “you were too much of a coward last time.”

“hey,” hoshina says, sounding mock-hurt. “i figured we were better off as friends.”

“hm.” amaya exhales. “whatever you say.”

“i wish you’d sound more enthusiastic about this,” hoshina retorts, laughing again. it’s the same laugh he has when he talks to okonogi, that same doting laughter–but it also wasn’t anything special. it was the same kind of laughter he had when he talked to you, though perhaps it was tinged with more fondness when he spoke to you.

if there was anything hoshina was, it might’ve just been annoyingly consistent.

"it's hard to be enthusiastic surrounding you. your sarcastic energy exhausts me," amaya drawls.

you turn away from the conversation at this point–and yet you can feel amaya staring daggers into the back of your head. 

“i’ll let the two of you finish this up,” you say, and your voice sounds far more obviously strained than you’d like for it to be. 

hoshina was allowed to talk to other people. but why did amaya irk you so much? was it just the irreverent way she spoke, the way she seemed to be watching you so intently for no reason? what the hell was her problem? as you stormed off, your footsteps grew angrier as you continued to mull over it. no, seriously! what was her problem? 

but what was yours, being jealous in the first place? you were being irrational–worried because you wanted hoshina’s attention for yourself but of course it wasn’t right to worry this badly about it to the point that envy would turn your stomach like this, create the brittling sensation in your heart. it wasn’t right, and the fact that you knew it wasn’t right made the whirling sense of bad in you feel worse.

you rub your face roughly, trying to shock yourself into trying to just be fucking normal.

“hey.”

hoshina’s voice is quiet when you turn around, and his face is contemplative, brows furrowed in worry.

“are you done? talking to amaya?” you ask.

“for now,” he says. his eyes focus on your face, concerned now. “are you okay?”

“i’m…”

the words die in your throat.

“i don’t want to be jealous,” you say weakly. “of whatever’s going on. but, i–”

hoshina’s hands are on your face before you can even finish your sentence, squishing your cheeks together.

“mm, i see.” hoshina blinks, humming. “why didn’t you just say so earlier?”

you blink.

“you’re not… mad?” you ask.

“mad?” hoshina raises an eyebrow, cocking his head. it looks cute. “should i be?”

“no,” you say. “i–or, i don’t know. maybe? yes?”

“which is it?” hoshina asks, a teasing smile on his face before his brow furrows a bit. “if you would have just told me earlier i could have easily just told you that there’s nothing going on between me and anyone else but you. i chose you. don’t forget that, okay?”

you blink.

“and i love you,” hoshina says, completely straightforwardly, with sure honesty. “don’t forget that.”

you nod, and he squeezes your face, leaning in to kiss you on the lips.

Thank you for acknowledging the post!

And I just wanted to clarify that I DO see the racism towards Taylor. I don't want it to seem that I ignore it. And I'm sorry if I did. I was just wanting to explain that, IN THIS CASE with Nick and all that stuff they say about him not liking RWRB, what does racism have to to do with it (and yes, you said it on your post, so thank you.) And it's ok that you posted it. It's just, they've used that defense so much, that I just associate it with them (like a Pavlov thing???) and it becomes annoying (???; Pulling the racism card when there isn't). Like, defend against the racism when IT IS about racism, not when people are simple trying to defend the allegations (from stupid people) that 'Nick hates RWRB'. And I admit, I was angry when I wrote the post, so I wasn't completely thinking about racism. And I just didn't want you to get the 'they're being racist towards Taylor' accusations because I know you're not and I love your posts!

I typed a lot, so... the point that I'm trying to make is that I'm sorry if I gave off the impression that Taylor doesn't go through racism. He does, sadly. 😡

And also,🤭, the twitter account user (njwoman on tumblr), took of the pinned post claiming to support both of them. Like, finally realizing your own hypocrisy? I had to go back a couple of times to check to see it it was true. Anyway, enough of that.

You don't have to posts this, I just wanted to let you know what a difference your post made. To the twitter account user (obviously; if they even saw it too, or was it just a coincidence?) and to me (and hopefully to other people too). It made me feel... it just calmed my mind.😌 It's great when there's people in the fandom who can THINK. (And sorry to making this like a big deal, like I know they're celebrities in Hollywood but... the hate they both get -two kind-hearted, talented human beings- is crazy!! And when they get compared to each other...?!?!? WHY?!?! Stupid!!!! *SIGHS* I really am a sensitive person...)

I should've have put this on the main post, but again, I was angry and it was late at night for me, LOVE TAYLOR, NICK, AND RWRB. BOTH perfectly casted!!! BOTH talented!!! And BOTH will have a GREAT future!!!

Oh you're welcome! Really glad I could help 😊

Also to clarify I didn't think you were ignoring actual racism, I just wanted to clarify that on my part. Like you said, racist should be called out, but that doesn't apply to this situation.

Also about the account, turns out they follow me before, but after i got your ask, i checked their tumblr account, realized the same attitude was there and blocked them. So whatever change of heart was definitely not because of what i wrote.

Also don't apologize for typing too much, god knows i type a hell lot.. And thank you for enjoying my posts!

And again, I'm really glad I could help.

This is advice that goes to anyone who stumbles upon arguments like these: your best defence, both against them, and to protect yourself, is logic. Everything I said in the aforementioned ask is based on logic and evidence. They only have emotionally charged, biased speculations. Their arguments can be broken down so easily.

Unfortunately this is the way things tend to be in this industry, especially for queer productions for some reason. All we can do is keep enjoying and creating the happiness that the movie and the people involved brings.

Also, that last paragraph? HELL YEAH
