#(i also have a jjba joke fic if youre into that)

[tonberry-yoda]

Hii first of all i hope youre doing great! Make sure to drink water‼️

So i saw that your requests r open but idk if u can do matchups so feel free to ignore this if u dont

But if u do, i was wondering if u could do a jjba matchup from parts 2-7 (any gender idm)

Some info ab me:

Im agender but i use any pronouns, im aroace (! Aroace ppl can still feel romantic feelings js limited, just letting u know bc ppl get confused🥲!)

Id like the matchup to be romantic and some characters i wouldnt rlly like u to include r stroheim, kira, pucci and funny valentine

Okay lets get to the main stuff

My personality is pretty confusing even for me tbh

I can be very serious at times but i can also be very js energetic and yk goofy ig? My energy gets drained quickly after that tho so yeaah

I get told pretty frequently that im harsh but im just honest🤷‍♀️

I prefer saying whats objective and truthful rather than sugarcoating stuff

I can be very supportive tho dont tske this the wrong way

Im an ambivert and idk if yk mbti but since it might help im an Intj e3

Also im a night owl so yeah i love staying up and stargazing from my window💁🏻‍♀️

As for how i act in daily life well, i always try my best to get everything that im assigned done and most of the time i do. I strive for perfection and success in whatever i do and i am very ambitious🏃🏻

At times tho i feel like i need breaks so once in a while i like to just stop and relax, to do absolutely nothing

I like to read books every now and then but i dont have a good attention span and i zone out A LOOOTT

Not just while reading, if im doing anything at all ill just zone out eventually

I really enjoy being in my head with my own thoughts its like my safe space even if its not safe ykwim

Im just a very brain-ish person yk i like thinking i spend hours in my head its like my comfort place

I also like being productive it makes me feel alive

Like doing stuff

Im also a result/success oriented person so yeah

Also other than reading im also into make up and i like to listen to music if u consider that a hobby

I have a very mixed music taste but my friends say its good

I really like lana del rey and indie music but I also love rock and grunge like ac/dc, nirvana, pearl jam etc.

I also listen to stray kids sometimes their music is cool (kpop) but i also listen to j-pop and classical music (ascends me to heaven fr)

I also listen to 90s hiphop. Yeah.

Thats a lot of stuff I KNOW but i told u its a mix

As in fashion i dress either very y2k-ish or like my friends always tell me i look like those 2 girls from mean girls (my clothes)

I like to dress coquette-like though too!

Id also like to be a gothic lolita but i cant so thats sad

I also have brown hair and brown eyes and im average heigthed

My friends say i have the best style so yeah

I dont really have a type but i do have a preference for either people who are like me bcz yk they get me

But i also like funny people like very energetic funny people

We can be like sun moon dynamic idk😭

I like every love language ngl

I have a slight preference for gift giving though

I mean thats the one i use so

The fic is up to u idm what it is

Tysm for ur time, ik that was a lot, feel free to ignore if u dont feel like it have a nice day/night <3

notes: omg hi!! I am finally doing your matchup <3 I feel like it has been in here forever omg. but i am so glad im getting to it today!! i literally have the PERFECT character for you tee hee so let's jump in <3

the character I chose for you is...

GYRO ZEPELLI!!!

you and him have a very similar personality. you can both have a serious front, but goof off with each other, which is the most fun

it makes you a super successful couple too because you both know when it's joking time or not

though you will find him making stupid jokes more often than not

he likes that your harsh/honest

it just really shows that you know who you are and you cant take certain stuff

it just means your strong-willed and that's what he loves about you

there is nothing wrong with being harsh and he tells you that all the time

you and him are very supportive to each other and it really helps the relationship grow

i feel like gyro is honestly a morning person, so you wont find him staying up with you late that often

so while he sleeps next to you pet his hair

but he will 100% stargaze with you while you talk about life and cuddle

you get shit done and that's what he loves about you

and when you two are together, you're literally unstoppable tbh

as ambitious as this man is, he is also lazy, so he will ask you to just sit and cuddle him so you can take a break

and who are you to deny gyro??? i would cuddle in those arms any day

doing absolutely nothing sounds amazing to him, so please stay wrapped in his arms

just know he will fall asleep

since you love reading, but zone out a bit, this man will read to you

he loves to read to you

even if you zone out, he will catch you up

he overall just enjoys reading out loud a lot, so you're going to hear a lot of it

while you're just thinking, he'll be right beside you

you are your own comfort space, but you begin to feel that he is becoming your new one

he is also a mixed music dude, so yall listen to whatever

HE LOVES THE WAY YOU DRESS OMG

literally force him to dress up to and you will be walking ICONS

do his makeup

LITERALLY

he loves when you make him all pretty

he'll braid you hair if you braid his

he is super energetic and funny, so you have the literal perfect man for you

and he will provide every love language, just expect a lot of words of affirmation from him and way too many cuddles

and if you give him gifts, he gets all flustered and blushy

and then he'll get you gifts too :)

and now for your fic :)

You stayed up on the edge of your shared bed with Gyro and watched the stars from your window. You lived in a nice enough area to see all the stars and you were very thankful for that. You couldn't go to sleep, so you decided to open the window and get a breath of fresh air along with your view. Your boyfriend slept quietly next to you, his arms hugged around his own lanky body. You watched his breaths for a moment. In. Out. In. Out. You smiled and ran your fingers through his long sandy blonde hair before looking right back to the window. "Darlin?" You heard from Gyro, making you jump. "What's up?" You asked, seeing his long arms stretch in front of him as he sat up. "Can't sleep?" He asked, avoiding your question. "No, not really. Just wanted to do some stargazing." "Come here," he said, patting his chest. You gladly laid your head on your chest, having an even better view of the stars as he petted the top of your head until he fell back asleep.

Just wanna say I absolutely love your fanfics. FugoNara is my favorite JJBA ship of all time and your fics give me so much comfort.

On that note given you’re profic, how do you deal with backlash from antis if you receive any? I’d love to indulge in writing FugoNara smut but I’m concerned about getting shat on by antis.

First: Thank you 🥺 Knowing that someone else likes my fics makes my days 1000 times better. I'm glad to hear you can find comfort in them the same way I find comfort in my bookmarks.

About the blacklash... I've got like 10 call out posts on Twitter lol. I try to ignore them, report the accounts for harassment and block them. Also, I have a ridiculous amount of accounts preventively blocked.

But more than blocking, I think is important to be surrounded by people that will support you in case you receive harassment. One time, I was dogpiled for making a NSFW joke. If my mutuals hadn't been there to laugh it off with me and call the harassers ridiculous, it might've been overwhelming.

If you can't , or just don't want to deal with any kinds of anti bullshit, you can always post anonymously, too.

If your current account has a significant amount of antis following you, you can also make an alternative account.

✮⤷About me!

✰⤷My name is Vannah but everyone I know really calls me Nonnies! So both is just perfect if you’re having trouble deciding what to call me!:)

✰⤷ I adore the color orange,it’s my fav! I also love the fruit plus the mixed versions like tangerines or clementines! I love crunchy grapes and mint chocolate chip ice cream! I’m absolutely obsessed with chinchillas and snails! Seriously,do yourself and search up snails eating it’s the cutest thing ever! I am obsessed with dilfs! Ugh or big muscley men or just skinny men,tbh any man that’s kinda cute. AND OMG MEN WITH BIG NOSES🤭

✰⤷ I’m kind of shy and awkward especially when I know for a fact that a lot of people are cooler than me! Like omg people on here are so cool and such good writers! Plus ya’lls creativity to the themes of your blogs! Because I’m awkward though I tend to not talk to people because I’m afraid they won’t like me but I’m definitely gonna out of my shell to talk you to guys! I definitely need to be y’all’s friends!

✰⤷ Speaking of friends, part of the reason I came on here in the first place is to make friends! Once I turned 18, I downloaded this app and saw how so many creator have such a good community full of moots! I was just kind of a stalker blog who just read other people’s works! However,due to the lack of cared for chubby reader content I decided to try my hand at writing fics!

✰⤷ I’m racially black and ethically Haitian and Puerto Rican! Both of my parents are also the same ethnic mix as me so I find that pretty cool! However despite my Caribbean ethnicities I can’t speak a word of Creole or Spanish and when I attempt to my family just laughs at me（◞‸◟）. So the only language I can really speak is English. I know I’m not the only person who loves their culture(s) but don’t really know too much about them like language or traditions.

✰⤷ I’m a huge fat nerd! Literally,love talking about comics or manga! I love Marvel and Dc and obvi Animanga. I really like Shonens,Seinens and Josei! Especially Josei! I had a whole Nana and Princess Jellyfish phase til age 16. My favs seinens change a lot but Berserk and Real are most def up there for me. Shonens are Fullmetal Alchemist and JJBA! I’m literally obsessed with JJBA and omg before I used to be worse. I had a huge TR phase for months too! And super random but does anyone else struggle with understanding manga fights? I always just end up making up my own fights tbh.

✰⤷ My biggest fear is not being able to finish anything or being less than! And for some reason things crawling on me really terrify me.

✰⤷ I’m obsessed with music! Every single pair of headphones I own don’t get super loud anymore cause I busted them up by having the volume super loud all the time! But I can’t help it,I need songs to literally be shoved up inside my ears otherwise I don’t want it! But majority of the time I just like to have it on for background noise when I’m doing homework or something. I also love podcasts especially book or movie/show recaps or true crime.

✰⤷ Ok so,I feel like I over shared a lot so this is the end of my about me! Love you bookieee! Thank you for reading!

Ps-Please be my friend if you’re similar to me or get what I’m saying 🧎🏽‍♀️

Ps to my Ps- I’m really affectionate and call everyone nicknames out of habit. I use bookie or babygirl(as a joke I swear guys) a lot!

[monsterkissed]

⭐️⭐️ and i am nominating your choice of any of my special favorite one-shots: castle down, the compromise, go places, or don't follow the light

a very tasty selection!

castle down: ahh, the doppio good end. i think this was during the period where i learned that sometimes i can just write mean things and people will still enable me, but also when i was getting a handle on exactly How i like to be mean. i have said this before but i don't like suffering for its own sake. i wanted to write a terrible situation but one that doppio can still find some meaning in? his whole conversation with giorno/GER is i think a response to the fandom idea that what we need to do for these characters is redeem them by showing them all the bad stuff and helping them realise it was bad, which is something i find very boring. we would really get into that later in bngn but i don't think doppio's issue is that he needs to understand the truth and then he'll stop caring about the person he cares about and start being a good boy, that's not how love works and that's not how a sense of self works. i liked that it's how giorno's stand thinks it should work, tho, and i've talked before about how writing doppio and giorno interacting is fun bc they have such incompatible worldviews. as the spirit of someone who grew up in a very unhealthy environment and escaped it by developing a strong personal set of principles but not forming strong emotional bonds with others, GER really is making all the worst decisions in this one. it is trying to help, even if it is largely motivated by those principles, but giorno had a very short time to learn how much value people put in their connections to others. i joke but for doppio this really is preferable to some golden peaceful jjba heaven, even if it's not the ending he really wanted. i really like his opening line in the conversation with "giorno" and the very clumsy attempts at diavoloese that follow, and of course i had a Great time with that final monologue before the loop resets.

the compromise: this fic has my favourite bookmark comment of anything i have ever written and i really do promise that i didn't notice the 'never let me go' vibes until i was already in way too deep. it is an excellent example of working well under fire i think. my feelings about separate-body AUs are well-known, i really don't find it nearly as interesting when the two of them are just two random guys who happen to meet, and this fic was me looking at the prompt and trying to find a way to work with that that i could actually vibe with. i am incredibly proud of the results, i think it's one of the best self-contained things i have ever written. i've never had so much fun writing cioccolata, but he fits perfectly into the whole uncomfortable horror aspect, and my love for combining discomfort and horror with genuine affection and very real feelings of connection is pretty blatant. just because it's awful and gross and unhealthy doesn't mean it's not real! altho this one is perhaps the most ambiguous, i wanted to imply that diavolo has absolutely done this before with other people who were in doppio's shoes. he's talking to him with the mouth and body of someone he probably was equally soft and affectionate towards, who is no longer meaningfully there in the same way that doppio will be erased (altho the ambiguity about how true that is was also very deliberate). i think, like all the best diavolo moments, he genuinely believes a lot of his own nonsense. to him he is doing something intimate and romantic and he doesn't really grasp the unsettling elements even as he is aware that it's a selfish thing. the selfishness kind of bleeds into it if anything; he loves doppio as a part of himself before he actually physically is. he'll build him his house and buy his clothes and keep his eyes and believe that this is a part of doing something kind and loving, even if he believes he has excised the person it's all for. doppio's willingness to go through with it was kind of painful even for me. there's ambiguity there about exactly why he feels so alone and empty that this seems like a significant upgrade, but again i think a big part of it is feeling loved on such a complete level and the simple answer is never gonna be that he's just wrong because bad people don't have those feelings and bad love doesn't count. he doesn't misunderstand what he's choosing and he does choose it.

go places: this is probably the closest thing to soft happy domestic fluff i have ever published, at least for these two. there's only one murder, even! for exchanges and gift events i always do try to tone things down just a smidge, because i don't want to give a stranger something weird and gross that they might not be into. honestly tho that's part of the challenge and the fun and i usually end up having to really push my other strengths, so there's a lot of descriptions and incidental details in this one that i really like and think make the whole thing very readable. there's something to be said for a couple of guys in a weird relationship being comfortable together, and i like the idea of diavolo not doing a great job of hiding himself and doppio gently folding that into the deception on his behalf anyway. and, of course i believe that was the first fic that a certain mistyped naem ever commented on, so it will always hold a special place in my wretched little heart.

don't follow the light: god seeing this one in the ask was such a trip, i don't think anyone has ever even mentioned it to me before now! not that i blame them, it is a bit of a weird little black sheep i threw together in a haze one night. i do love a bit of gore and horror and all that juicy stuff and this was really an excuse to play with those toys, but also in the context of diavolo and his stubborn refusal to learn anything from what happened to him or reevaluate himself at all. it's all one big, cruel, spiteful attack on him personally, because he was so beautiful and remarkable and they were so jealous, and he would rather teach himself to suffer with some pride and adherence to that narrative than consider what led him to that point in the first place. i did a fair bit of very fun research for some parts of this, including learning some interesting things about which are the worst ways to drown! (apparently if you think you might be at risk of drowning to death you should try to aim for salt water, which will slow the rate of osmotic bad times compared to fresh water that will suck all the salt out of your cells like a v bad cleanse, and you want water that is quite cold so that your metabolism slows right down, slowing down the rate of dying also, but not so cold that it triggers a shock response, which will kill u much much faster) (these are the kinds of useful facts you can find out if you catch me on a research binge for my terrible crimes)

[nibwhipdragon]

OK I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR WIPS

"I'm sick in the head" AND "Coughs and wheezes" ARE REALLY COOL IDEAS??? I WANNA HEAR MORE ABT THOSE!!!

OK THEN, YOU SHALL HEAR MORE ABOUT THEM

Putting this all under a read more just in case it gets too long, which I don't think it will? But just in case

Hi it's me from 7 hours later. This thing got Long. I'm sure you expected that, as we constantly enable each other to rant for ages, but yeah. Coughs and wheezes I have a Lot of thoughts on, it takes up the majority of this. Enjoy this bestie <3

Ok, I will start with I'm sick in the head first. Like I've already said, it's a lil oneshot about Joseph and The Horrors he has to put up with during Battle Tendency. Personally, I do think the reason he jokes so much and everything in pt2 seems to not affect him (unlike Jotaro, who has Problems in the later parts due to pt3) is because he's been through too much, and developed a sort of apathy for all stuff like that as a result. Like he just. Cannot properly give a shit about things like the rings and such at that point in his life. It'd also explore my ideas on Joseph having a bad childhood leading up to him developing this apathy, with my thoughts on Speedwagon and Erina comparing him to Jonathan so much (in a well meaning sense ofc, it's just that the comparisons....aren't too good for Joseph's perception of himself). It'd also explore the sorta stuff Joseph would've gone through as a kid in school and such too, because. Yeah being neurodivergent in school is bad nowadays, god forbid him being neurodivergent in the education system in the 1920s.

The fic takes place from Caesar's POV, in which he experiences abject horror towards finding out that Joseph, the person he's come to admire and respect so strongly is so broken. I've been trying to write it for a while, just got into a rut with it and...stopped.

Coughs and wheezes is a much more recent WIP...sorta? I just couldn't stop thinking about this fic I wrote for caejose week, and it just all unravelled into the plans for a longfic rewrite. The whole thing would mostly explore the stuff canon would not (Battle Tendency could've been SO MUCH MORE), as well show the aftermath of pt2 instead of just. A simple short epilogue. Araki did NOT elaborate on the effects that All That would've had on the cast, both physically and mentally (JOSEPH'S KNEE GETTING MELTED WITH SUPERCHARGED HAMON HELLO???????). And Lisa Lisa and Joseph ough. What an interesting duo (ill over them both). Their relationship would be explored much more in the fic than in canon. Just. Holy Shit Lisa Lisa That Is Your Son WHAT Are You Doing. I am 100% convinced that she isn't mentioned in later jjba parts at all(excluding Araki's writing being Like That, as well as misogyny) is because of her telling Joseph that she was his mother and him just. Being rightfully pissed at her because of all she put him through and simply deciding not to talk to her again unless necessary. Lisa Lisa is actually such an interesting character this fic will 100% have a look into her being Like That too.

Honestly this fic would just be expanding on all the characters, really. Like do you ever think about Kars and how he immediately dropped the honour act the moment Whammu died as if Whammu would turn against him at the drop of a hat if he was dishonourable in combat, though still being shown to harbour at least some sort of care for the other Pillar Men, not really viewing them as tools like he viewed Santana. Do you ever think about him becoming the Ultimate Lifeform with nobody left to share it with he would have to spend eternity with nobody with him. So incredibly lonely. You ever think about how he seems to despise humans but care for "lesser beings" like dogs. You ever think about how pt2 takes place after the industrial revolution, in which things became a lot more polluted and cities would be ridiculously smoggy and such. And I am absolutely certain that in their hunt for the stone they would've come across nazis and that. And they very likely would've heard or seen what their ideals were. Yknow. Eugenics and anti-semitism and racism and all that, trying to "prune" the human race into being "perfect" like they were Gods, above everything else. You ever think about how his drive to get the stone and become the Ultimate Lifeform may have at this point in time also be to put the human race in their place and remind them that they are not Gods and they shouldn't act like such. Actually thinking about genocide, don't you find it kinda odd that Kars ended up wiping out almost the entirety of his race JUST for clashing ideas on his desire to become the Ultimate Lifeform? There had to be something else going on istg

You ever think about Caesar and his past. You ever think about how he was poor and homeless. Him and his siblings getting ill would be TERRIBLE for them, with no way to stay safe and recover from illness peacefully, and no way to get medicine if needed. You ever think about how to avoid illness is to keep clean, eat non-contaminated and clean food, to not live in dirty places that would create a good enviroment for bacteria and such to thrive in. You ever think about Caesar and his whole thing with soap. You know. The thing you use to clean with. His whole past, with him being homeless and poor actually affects him quite a lot, like he dresses in fancy clothing, and eats at nice expensive restaurants now that he's got the money. He doesn't want to waste the opportunity to have all that now that he's no longer poor. He doesn't want to waste any opportunities at all, actually now that I think about it. He wanted to not waste the opportunity of attacking the Pillar Men during the day so badly he died. And, of course, when you're homeless you absolutely have to take every opportunity that comes your way, because who knows when another will come by, if not taking it will cause you to not stay alive long enough to see the next one come around? You ever think about how he was forced to take care of all his siblings from a ridiculously young age, being the oldest of them all with nobody to help him, essentially having to be a parent? He'd have to become so independent from such a young age and don't you think this would've led to the way he acts in pt2, with how he *gets shot*

I have been getting SO off track oh my god. Well. I guess it's kinda related as I'll be exploring what canon did not but. Yeah. I hope you enjoyed that detour

Anyways, Joseph. I am not exactly sure if I'd give her the same chosen name as I did for the fic I'm basing this off of. Probably will give the same name if I'm honest, it'd be very good for some changes to the Esidisi fight (When he's possessing Suzi) that I have planned. She'd also only find out her identity during the fic (though very close to the start) because that's a quite interesting thing to write. Though ofc there were trans people in the 1920s and 30s, it certainly wasn't as known of a thing, especially with some of the research on trans people was burned and destroyed by the Third Reich. Especially since Joseph would've had like. Nobody to even learn about the LGBT community from as it has been explicitly stated before that Joseph had no friends outside Smokey. Maybe he'd learn about gay people from Speedwagon but other than that that's it. I don't think I've seen a fic in which the trans character doesn't really have the words or ideas to explain what is up with them. I think it'd be really interesting to take this route with Joseph imo, especially with my whole idea of him being compared to Jonathan a bunch (When recalling how he first found out that Joseph could use hamon, Speedwagon compares him to Jonathan. He's also compared to Jonathan in the way he looks. I'm sure there's probably more comparisons regarding his behaviour that we don't see.) and how that'd affect him. Like I've told you before in that one headcanon ask game ages ago, I feel that he'd grow to think that Erina and Speedwagon would rather have Jonathan over him. That leaves Joseph with some very big boots to fill; with that in mind, I also feel that he'd feel like he'd have to "be" a Jonathan to them. Which obviously he can't do, as Jonathan is Jonathan and Joseph is Joseph. You can't become someone you're not. With that taken in context of the fic I think that the whole thing would become much more complex and interesting (and angsty) to write, and also to read. Having Joseph struggle with her gender identity, going from "What is up with me why do I always feel out of place and why does femininity feel so RIGHT", to "Do I just not like the standards placed on me for being a man and that's why the concept of femininity and being a woman feels so freeing and right to me or is there something more serious going on", to "Oh. I AM a woman and that's why I feel like this. I have the horrific feeling that I have let everyone in my life down. Oh God Oh Fuck what am I meant to do how can I live like this" is a breath of fresh air from all the trans character fics I've read where either they come to terms immediately with it or it's already established, one that I am very much willing to provide. Ofc, there's nothing wrong with the previously mentioned forms of trans fics, it's just good to always have some variety. Also. The Horrors. The majority of pt2 takes place in Italy, which was very much fascist at the time. Can you imagine. Caesar and Suzi and Lisa Lisa, as well as Loggins and Messina aren't transphobic, for proper reasons I HAVE thought out despite living in Italy all their lives (ESPECIALLY Suzi and Caesar, seeing that they would've grown up with Mussolini's rule and thus would've been much more likely to be indoctrinated into fascism), as well as the Pillar Men being chill because it simply isn't that big of a deal to them. But can you imagine everybody else. In Italy. The surveillance state. It'd be straight up HORRIFYING for Joseph, she'd struggle so much in actually sorting out her identity safely, even with the others willing to support and help. Uh oh I can't remember where I was trying to go with this uhhhhhhhh. Basically Joseph's gonna struggle. Like. A LOT in this fic, be ready for that when I start posting it...eventually. It might've taken ages to write but now someone (you) has shown great interest in it I think I'll possibly be able to pull another Breadcrust Crusaders and crank it chapters out like my life is on the line. Anything for you, Kirsten. Anything.

It sounds like that should've been the ending to this post, but it's not! It's me making the post, so of course there's more. There's always more. Anyways. Like I've iterated multiple times already the fic will be expanding on characters and fixing flaws in canon and changing things I personally dislike. One of the things I'll be changing bc I don't like it is the Pillar Men designs. Araki coulda done so much more, but didn't, and now it is my responsibility to do that. Haven't gotten everything ironed out yet. But there are 2 things I'm gonna have the designs lean more into.

Make them look more powerful and intimidating

Lean into a rock and stones motif, because COME ON THE OPPORTUNITY WAS THERE

All I've really got down is to make them much taller atm, like 3.5 meters tall? Just gotta have them loom over everyone else really. And for the stone and rocks motif so far I've decided to have their horns look more like jagged shards of rocks, much less neat than in canon. As well as that their redesigns would entail their teeth being much less human, more fanged really, and seeing as teeth are white (well. they're not they're more of a cream or yellow colour PERFECTLY WHITE TEETH ISN'T NATURAL THEY'RE LYING TO YOU PEOPLE THAT READ THIS DON'T EVER STRESS ABOUT YOUR TEETH NOT BEING PERFECTLY WHITE IT IS OK) I think them being iridescent like some gemstones are would be really cool. More specifically the sort of iridescence that opals have, because surprisingly with gemstones there's multiple types of iridescence that all look different. There's definitely still more I wanna add/change but that's all I got rn

I have a gun to Caesar's head. Shall I have him doomed by the narrative like in canon, or do I spare him? Both are very interesting to me, seeing as I'm planning to write some slice-of-life-esque stuff after the plot of pt2 for this fic. Both would deal with his aftermath, just in wildly different ways...hmmm...well. I think I'll decide when I get to it.

Coughs and wheezes is kinda split into 2 in my head actually, with the pt2 stuff and then the post pt2 stuff. The pt2 stuff is MUCH more thought out. Perhaps I will make the fic scheduled (I will continue serving JoJo Fridays again...just like when I was writing Breadcrust Crusaders...suddenly nostalgic...) and then take a lil hiatus to properly work on the post pt2 stuff. Depends on how much I can cook up for it while writing the earlier chapters really

[gemwolfz]

you guys remember miwan? you guys enjoy heartfelt-but-not-necessarily-great fanfiction? you guys like reading about characters hangin out and being close platonically? then boy do i have a deal for you!

[yanderememes]

this blog is just so nostalgic to me, i remember having an incredibly huge crush and obsession with giorno, and this blog being a perfect representation of how i felt (having inside jokes, reading and writing fics + hcs, memes, etc etc) reading every self insert fic that i could find w/ him in it (especially the yandere ones christ) like fantasizing about being in a mansion and w/ gio alone, being spoiled lol

and now that phase is kind of, i guess, fading? (because ive been kind of moving on to other stuff like FFVII and all of its other prequels and sequels)

i should say that if i found this blog at my 『ＡＢＳＯＬＵＴＥ』 peak gio obsession phase, i wouldve absolutely lost my shit and be like “ive finally found my ｐｅｏｐｌｅ”

when i discovered that i really liked the idea of lovesick jjba chars going crazy over the reader, i immediately went to go find fics for it, and there wasnt alot back then lol

but obviously once you start your JJBA phase,

ｉｔ　ｎｅｖｅｒ　ｓｔｏｐｓ．

love you and your blog by the way! im so happy that ive found people who are also interested in something quite “ｂｉｚａｒｒｅ＂

It's never too late to rejoin the giorno simp club 😂 all is welcomed

I'm glad that I was able to provide a blog that could resonate with you. Ngl, the fantasizing is too true. I just can't help but imagine being spoiled by him and for giorno to show me a side he doesn't show anyone else 😍😭

It's totally understandable that you don't feel as strongly as you used to. People move on and we get into different things as time goes on. I used to be really into aot and I still am, but not as much as before. As much as I hate to admit it, the jojo fandom isn't as popular as it just to be considering many fans moved to other fandoms, plus the horrible advertising for stone ocean didn't help.

There's just a certain appeal to yandere characters lol. I used to hate the yandere trope but now I obsess over it 😂 and you're right, anon, the jojo phase never truly stops. After all, the entire world is a jojo reference.

Thank you for the love and support! Also, cheers to another giorno simp ❤️

55, 57, and 77 <3

55 — have you noticed any patterns in your fics?  words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

a lot of my fics tend to focus on the idea of healing or some sort of fulfilling journey if we're talking my longer fics. the theme of sleep awake is learning to want to live for yourself, the theme of my jjba insert is going to be (if i ever finish it) learning that you deserve to live and be loved, the theme of my bnha soulmate fic was that it's okay to let yourself love and be loved in turn. i just like stuff like that.

as for my shorter stuff, im not so sure? i use a lot of animal imagery in a lot of my writing, like comparing characters to animals (like a deer in the headlights, or an ant under a microscope or something), and in sleep awake there are animals that represent some of the dead characters (like kaede being represented by a songbird and korekiyo by a snake).

57 — how conscious are you about including symbolism or foreshadowing in your fics?

super conscious !! i love foreshadowing, it's like a fun little joke only i know the punchline to until later writing happens and you see it on a reread. i like to use symbolism, too, a lot. whether its something more metaphorical (for example, like. in the new sleep awake chapter i use the characters not leaving footprints in the snow as a metaphor for guilt and how the crime won't be traced back to them). and there's physicist carrying mementoes of their dead close ones, too, like rantaro's ring and kirumi's letter-opener (i also think it's significant that it's this letter-opener that saves their life in their confrontation w korekiyo, too!!). anyway. very conscious. i like doing it a lot.

77 — why do you enjoy writing fanfiction?

it's just always been the way i connect with media. and there's something for whatever im feeling, you know? sometimes a storyline sucks or a character gets done dirty by the source material, so fanfic is a way to fix that. sometimes i just want to Be in a fictional world and interact with the characters. it's just fun. i've been doing it for like ten years now. i just love it.

[spaceseinensam]

Things that JJBA Fanfic Writers™ write that make me very happy (An Unranked List)

(this is just a compilation of absolutely hilarious/sweet/creative things I've seen once or twice in jojo fics and I want to share some, will update the more I read)

Jotaro being an absolute marine biology nerd, I know the fandom has basically already completely turned him into a dolphin lover, but I'm talking "I will stride around this beach for hours on end just to take photos of starfish and look at corals" - Jotaro, it's just very endearing and cute ok, more of this pls

Okuyasu yelling OI JOSUKE every time he comes across Josuke, it's just so fucking funny, especially in more somber or serious fics, like "this is a very serious situation, this stand user is dangerous, also my internal emotions conflict with how I want to act, this is very ser-"OI JOSUKE

When Rohan is the POV and he just. Talks. So. Much. Shit. Like, this guy has to badmouth everyone, but his internal monologue is always so funny to read, especially the insults, keep it coming

Jotaro having a subscription to Marine Biology Monthly. That's it. It's a one off joke in 1 (one) JotaKak fic (in an NSFW one, so kids, don't search for it) but I find it so fucking hilarious, how dare the author be this damn funny

A bit more serious: Backstory on how Okuyasu got his facial scars. I've read a few fics that provide that and they're all so good and I had tears in my eyes every time bc Okuyasu is so endearing to me and when I have to read about him being abused as a kid to the point he has his facial scars it cracks my heart in two ok my boy deserves love

Also bit more serious: Joseph keeping (parts of) Caesar's head band. A marvelous thing that often pops up and I'm so here for it, like, there was one where he kept it in his wallet during Egypt??!? And it was all faded?! And Avdol asked what significance it had and I damn near cried why is this allowed, Joseph being old-man-emotional is the sweetest thing ever and makes me cry

Giorno being the mean bitch he truly is

Giorno being the awkward teenager he truly is (btw this is not conflicting, Giorno sadly often gets either completely infantalized or sexualized by the fans and I'm just,, yes he's 15 yes he's a teenager, doesn't mean he can't kick your butt and be mean sometimes, but he's also not an emotionless bloodhungry mafia daddy ok)

Mikitaka and Yukako becoming best friends? That's so fucking great and simultaneously so funny, I love it! Hair-braiding and shopping buddys all the way!

On the topic of hair-braiding: I read one completely sugar sweet fic that took place in Morioh a few years after Part 4 and Okuyasu has longer hair in it and asks Yukako for help with braiding??! Yes please, gimme more

Okuyasu starting to work at Tonio's after Part 4 and becoming a chef, yessss this has so much potential and is used so often it's nearly canon, it's great, give me more Chef!Okuyasu

In combination with that: police officer Josuke or medical professional Josuke is also amazing, it's so fitting for his character I love it

Is it apparent that I read a lot of DiU fics I think it is because guess what I also love it when prom happens in Morioh High School and everything that can go wrong will go wrong and in the end the Duwang Gang™ just crashes at Rohan's place, it's hilarious

Whenever the topic of languages is brought up amongst the Crusaders it's great, when Polnareff teaches French swearing to Kakyoin and Kakyoin teaches him to threaten somebody in Japanese, I'm here for it

And last for now: both of the extreme ends of Jotaro's emotional scale, I love it when he's still a stoic grumbling edgy teenage asshole who never learned how to express his feelings through ways other than punching, and I also love it when he's had emotional growth and has matured and can actually voice his feelings without breaking his calm, both are good, both are great, give me more

[birdwonder]

Hello, lovely! I read your Star Platinum piece and I loved it, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind writing a small fluff scenario with The World? He's not the most conventional Stand to love but I do adore him. (Ah! and please let me know if you need more details, I'm admittedly not used to making scenario requests and worry about being too specific ;-;)

|| Hi there and thanks for the support ! It’s super appreciated, especially when I just recently joined the JJBA fandom! Details or no, any request is appreciated though adding some helps give me an idea of what people want. Since stands are connected to humans, I thought it’d make sense to throw DIO in like with the Star Platinum fic, so I hope that’s ok! ~ Hope you enjoy !

The World + DIO Brando | You are my world.

A soft humming swum through the air of Dio’s mansion, the rising notes splashing the ears of anyone close enough to hear the melodic sound resonating from the upper level of the building, a place the man had sworn not to leave.

The long, black coated nails of the vampire drummed along the arm of his chair, almost to make a beat for the song that echoed in the room. In another hand, Dio was holding a book on technology and how it had advanced since the time he had ‘slumbered’. He wasn’t particularly interested in the mechanics of cellular devices or cars, but to attempt to rule a world and fight in one where you don’t understand anything around you puts a person at a large disadvantage.

Slowly, his fangs started to poke at his lower lip to hold back a scowl and the sequence of his fingertips began to put the melody off balance.

It was only natural that his mood was turning sour of course. There you were, sitting on the ground beside his feet, humming away as you rested the head of his stand on your lap. You were comfortably sat cross-legged, as sitting on your knees took more endurance than expected, while raking your nails carefully along the helmet-like head of The World.

You swayed your head side to side while smiling to yourself, your song pausing momentarily to allow yourself to giggle at the faint purring sound you could have sworn you heard come from the stand. All while this was going on, you were paying no attention what so ever to Dio.

And for what ? Because the two of you had a small row over him not allowing you to leave the mansion without his supervision? Pathetic. He did it to protect you, not to cage you. Though keeping you locked up and safe with a collar wasn’t exactly something he was opposed to.

“Beloved,” he drawled, trying to at least get some reaction from you, “at least look at me! You’re avoiding me like I’m the bloody plague over here.”

Like the stubborn mule you are, you didn’t dare even turn your head to face the blond. Instead, you began to talk out loud to The World, as if forming a proper conversation with the silent stand. “World, have I ever told you how perfect you are? I mean, have you seen your physique? It’s to die for!”

Now that irked something from Dio. The book he once held was slammed shut and tossed over his shoulder, the free hand now used to support his chin in his harm as he stared down at you from his chair. “Dear, you can’t be serious. You know that all must derive from me, right?”

With another hand, he moved his wrist in a circle motion towards his body before patting it twice onto his leg. “Come. Wouldn’t you rather sit on my lap than that dirty floor? You could see what a real body feels li-.”

“Aaah, so cute! Your eyes are gorgeous, World!” You abruptly cooed, now running your nails along The World’s back which consequently sent pleasant shivers down Dio’s.

Growling, the vampire was growing more and more infuriated by the blatant ignoring, especially when your attention was focused on somebody who wasn’t him. Even his stand wasn’t allowed to have more of your time than he had. The only reason why he hadn’t gotten rid of The World yet was because he knew that it’d only make you huff and puff more; at least when you held the spiritual entity he could feel the ghost of your affection along his body. If you could call it his, that is.

Dio decided that enough was enough and stood up so fast that his chair skidded backwards to make an irritating screeching sound that made you wince. Moving to stand beside you, he knelt down to rest on one knee and looked at your face, only for you to sharply turn your head towards the other direction with a childish "hmph!"

You were dead set on gaining some more independence from your lover, whether it took getting on his bad side or not. Showing him that you can't be pushed around and controlled like one of his mindless slaves was the first step of gaining his respect and love, which also meant his trust. The main reason why you wanted to stroll outside by yourself was so that you could have a break from all of this. The same rooms with the same disgusting stares from Dio's slaves put you off, and you longed to have a breath of fresh air that didn't smell of blood.

So, for now you were going to give him nothing but the silent treatment while simultaneously coddling his stand, who wasn't as adorable as you made him out to be since he was a pretty serious looking and dangerous, but you did love his presence all the same. Dio made you feel safe, and The World doubled that and made you feel happy. Plus, he was great company for when you couldn't or wouldn't wrap yourself around your lover.

"Thank you so much for being here, without you I'd feel so alone." Your words still had an increasing effect on the man beside you, his hands only inches away from pulling you away and into his hold. His desparation to touch you showed through the stand as the being nuzzled into your lap and rested a hand on your cheek, stroking it gently as Dio would have done if given the chance. Then, he paused due to your next sentence.

"You're my world!"

"...Seriously?" He deadpanned.

"What?" You returned, smirking slightly at the unimpressed brow that was raised towards you. That was indisputably the most tragic line that had ever left your lips, and yet you wouldn't turn back time to take it back for anything.

Pinching the bridge of his nose at your horrible world play, The World soon evaporated much to your dismay and shout of "hey!" and Dio only groaned.

Why did he put up with you? You were stubborn, difficult, argumentative and made horrible jokes like that. Though, looking at you now, with how your eyes were brimming with a tear or two from you attempting to hold in your infectious laughter and how your hair was perfectly moving along with your shaking shoulders, he knew that there was no replacing you. Plus, you were much more exciting than the other women who easily fell under his spell.

"Beloved, come here. I can't handle not feeling you against me." He opened his arms and with a small laugh and a shake of the head, you moved in to hug him. Nuzzling your nose into the crook of his neck, you purposefully made sure it wasn't the side with the Joestar birthmark.

"You know, you can be a real jealous baby," you muttered, amused by how his patience with you had rapidly decreased all because you paid a little more attention to a spirit than him. This made Dio scoff, his arms around you yet his head facing away as you head done earlier. Childishly.

"Please, it's nothing like that. It's just that I should be the one to hold you, not the key to my certain victory.""Oh? Then you won't mind bringing him back. I'm getting awfully cold..."

With a small jab to your side, he faced you once more with an offended expression. "We're in Egypt! And regardless, you have me now, so there's no need for anyone else, understand?"

"Mhm, got it." You complied, gently placing a kiss on his neck that you were still burying your nose into, knowing that your cooperation would only last until the next time you craved to go outside. For now, you could handle cuddling with your world.

And The World, if Dio allowed it.

Fanfic asks!

1. From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

God, I mean - on what scale? Out of everything I’ve read - maybe three? I’ve read a lot of writing better than mine and a lot of writing worse than mine - but that’s always going to be the case, and the more I read by better writers the better my writing will be, so - I feel like you’re always going to end up middle of the scale here.

2. Why do you write fanfiction? 

Philosophically? I suppose because I have some thoughts and questions and things to say, and fanfiction is a mode of communicating these that suits me quite well. But that’s the same for any kind of creation, I think.

Rather than original fiction? Honestly, a lot of it is the community aspect here - I can write and know that other people will read my writing; I can beta other people’s work and they beta mine; I can contribute to the massive, sprawling conversations that make up fandoms. You know how long I’ve spent writing original stuff, off and on, and never really sticking with it, partly because that communal, conversational atmosphere is, it turns out, pretty important to me. It’s been not quite two years of fanfic, and my skills have expanded so far beyond anything I expected or anywhere I’d previously gotten. (And even into professional stuff, which is useful - I’ve been writing scripts for training videos, and got 3k+ of scripts written over a couple of afternoons recently, which would’ve been unthinkable a couple of years ago.)

Why the specific fandoms or pairings or ideas? I’m very much of the mindset of writing fanfic to explore things that aren’t in the original canon - I’m not concise enough for missing scene fanfic (though good missing scene fanfic is very good!), but I think fandoms like JJBA or TGCF have so much space around the margins in which a thousand other stories could flourish, and - well, why not write whichever of those stories gets its teeth into me? (I feel like the Locked Tomb trilogy, conversely, is so tightly wound together that I couldn’t really poke at it until Alecto comes out, because there are so many questions I either want to know the answer to, or want to know that there is no answer before messing with them.)

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works? 

You’re just out here trying to make me write a cover letter, hm?

I feel like, to a large extent, this is something that readers could better answer; my reading of my work is always coloured by everything I intended, whether or not it actually made it into the piece in a way that other people would recognise. (But then again everyone will read something differently, etc etc etc, you can cite this better me.)

I guess... what feels like a Rowan Fic to me is something that’s got plenty of pain and despair, but that’s still funny; something that plumbs the horror of... whatever the piece is about, and then takes a moment at the worst possible point to make a pun about it. (nowhere to go always feels like a particular example of this to me - so much of the emotional backdrop of it is about the desperate and doomed struggle for the freedom you once feel yourself to have had and the terror of relying on other people whom you know will let you down, but it’s also about Denominational Opinions Hour and bad jokes and last-gasp clutches for any joy we can wring out of life before it leaves us.)

I’d like to say that gentleness and hope also fit in there somewhere, even if there’s nothing to hope for beyond the present moment - but that’s probably more aspirational than anything else.

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written? 

GOOD NEWS, I’M CURRENTLY WRITING BEEFLEAF FAKE DATING.

If it’s got to be something I’ve written and published - probably this love; Sugawara no Michizane AU is not a recognised tag for a reason, and mixing ghosts up so tightly with Stands is definitely a choice that was made (although Araki also made it; don’t think I haven’t thought about that for hours on end!), but, well. It came out better than I thought it might.

26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try? 

Hm - mostly, I think, specific aspects of relationship- or sex-based stuff, for different reasons. I’d really like to write more about queerplatonic or otherwise non-normative but still significant partnerships, but I do worry about how people will take that (and also how to tag it, as I’ve complained before). I’ll almost certainly end up doing so anyway - and a fair few of the relationships I have written skew, well, less than normative romantic, just because it’s me writing them - but I’ve never dug into that as much as I’d like to.

On the other end of the spectrum, I’m really wary of writing much physical touch stuff; I have no real desire to write sex, but I do end up walking back from or rewriting touches or interludes that could be read as something even vaguely approaching sexual because I’m not sure how other people would read it, and whether I want to risk their interpretations. (Mostly this irritates me when I think of a really good joke, and on rereading it I’m like ‘yeah but do I want strangers to read this? am I comfortable with their assumptions?’)

Honourable mention to horrible ex-Christianity fic, which I’m less afraid of writing and more haven’t yet found the place for - but I’m sure that once I do find a home for it, I will be afraid; it’s going to be a lot of messy feelings. (I’m still so mad that a Saturday Night Live MDZS AU has one of the best ex-Christian phrases I’ve ever seen. >:[[[[)

[planetbass]

why’s camp camp so bad tho in ur opinion? (Genuine question). The biggest problem I see is the rampant pedophilia in the fandom and the fics people write, but the show itself isn’t actually that bad imo? But like, I wanna hear your thoughts on it tho !!

i am not an expert and it’s been a long time since i watched any of it but some of it definitely is like offensive/shock value jokes, though most of what i remember is either obviously satirical or calls itself out (like saying ‘hey, this thing that this character is doing is racist’). i think the biggest and most obvious thing is uh. there’s one kid at the camp named dolph who is literally like a little hitler and they get scary-close to making certain jokes, and actualy do make certain jokes or references that are really just. uncomfortable and euhgh. just look at his wiki page it’s bad.

off the top of my head the only other thing i can think of is some nsfw subjects? but never ever involving the kids aside from them making disgusted comments on it. 

i’m sure there’s more but like, that’s all i remember and am willing to do “research” on

honestly i enjoyed what i watched of the show for the most part and i liked the complexity of the characters, and good designs as well! the premise is funny too and something i enjoyed. i don’t watch it anymore because i just don’t really care to/have motivation to. 

while i get these things are bad and i am by no means trying to downplay the problems it does have,  don’t get why it’s considered “irredeemable” by some people. like, i’ve seen multiple DNIs that are like “dni if you support irredeemable media (ex. camp camp, etc etc)” and i just ???. like i know why you may be wary of people who like it, but some media that is so much worse... isn’t considered “irredeemable” in the same sense. like no offense to my friends/mutuals who like jjba/hs/dr but ive seen/heard of the shit that’s in there that’s WAY more. all-around bad. and im like. yall live like this?? and from what i can tell it’s one of those things where it’s like, if youre Normal and know its bad u can still like it. which i get (and a lot of it is probably due to nostalgia which is also fine as long as u acknowledge it sucks, like i know my good friends who r into those things do) . 

this is getting kind of rambly and i probably just have naive disease but i just don’t understand why it’s considered “irredeemable” cuz that’s like, realy extreme? so understand this isn’t me trying to start discourse or anything, i just have been baffled about this for like , a couple years LKJDSFKJF and don’t completely understand. cuz it’s possible to like something and still say “hey this thing in it is bad and i don’t support or condone it”

[monsterkissed]

For the ask meme: 4, 14, 19, 30, 33, 36, 40. GREEDY, I KNOW

@mistytpednaem

4 was already covered, slightly shortening this monster answer to the relief of everyone.

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

Donatella Una thinks exactly three things, sitting in the doctor's office as he tells her very patiently that she is going to die.

19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.

Something screeched overhead and rattled Doppio out of his contemplation. He jumped and turned as a shadow passed over him, low and dark. A falcon swooped up and perched itself on the gate he had just passed through, peering down at him with bright eyes. It wore a little hat and a scarf, which even in Doppio’s dubious memory of things seemed unusual.

“Hello,” he said, giving the bird a little wave.

The bird did not respond.

“I like your clothes. You gotta be somebody’s pet, huh? Are you lost?” The bird continued to regard him in silence and Doppio laughed. “I guess you’re not the talking kind of bird. Or maybe just not too good at answering questions.” He mused on its plumage, then nodded. “Yeah, I’m sure I read somewhere that parrots and ravens and stuff are a lot smarter than hawks.”

The bird did not answer, but Doppio became abruptly certain that it’s gaze had become distinctly colder. Birds do not usually have particularly expressive faces, but in this case the look it gave him was highly evocative. It might have said something like, “Once, things like you were only small, fluffy, frightened sorts of creatures, and things like me were cold-blooded dragons that swallowed you in multitudes, and those days are not so far off as you might think.” Doppio was quite sure that the air temperature had dropped a few degrees.

30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

Oh this is difficult. I don't usually have things in halfway stages? Either something is a vague idea I haven't thought much about, or it's something I have actually worked on a lot and fully intend to finish. Sometimes things get modified, though? I was going to write something about a certain awful pink individual's mother, but that's now mostly been devoured into a certain awful pink wip's bottomless maw. I did have a part 3 fic I was working one and got far enough to be doing edits on and then just kind of stopped, though honestly if I went back and looked over it I'd probably actually find it not too bad. I also have a persona 1 fic that is Way older that I had forgotten for so long that I legitimately assumed I must have posted it at some point and forgotten, that one might genuinely be lost media bc it's old enough that my writing has probably moved far beyond it.

33. Give your writing a compliment.

I read it for fun. There are some particular lines or dialogue scenes or jokes or turns of phrase that make me think "Damn I wish I could write like that" and that's a very weird feeling to have when you did in fact write like that.

36. How do you come up with fic titles? What's the one you're most proud of?

JJBA is very handy bc that answer is I scroll thru my music library until I find something that fits. But I am particularly fond of Being No One, Going Nowhere because it honestly works far better than that kind of lazy method could possibly deserve. And it's from a band rec'd to me by the partners, so it has sentimental value uwu

40. Write a 9-word fic.

On his deathbed Giorno tells her: "Start running, now."

Incredibly cruel to force me to be concise honestly. I'm just shocked I didn't do a joke.
