Chapter 12 Author's Note

I think this was my longest chapter in Whiplash. It's bordering 10k words, when usually the chapters are written roughly anywhere between 3 - 5k. I remember locking down on this one and getting it all written in one full day, too. I don't remember if I started it all on the same day or if I had some of it written before that...? But I will say it was hell getting it done.

I vividly recall sitting down at around, mmmm... maybe 10am-ish? and stuck to it until literally mere minutes before midnight, that is including my beta grinding on edits lol.

The next day I RESTED UP lmao! To clarify why I pushed myself so hard was because there was an event in the Fanworks discord server last June that celebrated each fan project on its respective day. Being that midnight marked the end of Whiplash Day, needless to say, I was booking it. And with a few minutes to spare, I DID get the chapter posted. I don't think I've ever felt as creatively exhausted as I did that day like GODDD...

I've since then gone over Chapter 12, though, and made some much needed changes both to the worldbuilding (like the name of the convenient store) and added some stronger descriptions.

This is the chapter where I started the electronics brand naming scheme. Iommi's last name was the first, which is an electronic brand based in France. Fitting, because I figured this is a cyberpunk story, and naming characters after brands of electronics seemed so right to me. Not passing up that opportunity.

The naming scheme then continues with the A.I. taking Darius's order at the corner market. I chose Dell. I mean, they're essentially a computer, but I'd be lying if I didn't say there was another reason I decided on it.

It's a bit silly, but as stated in my past notes about Whiplash's original concept, and what the story was originally going to be, Leon had an 8 year old sister named Delphine, but everyone just called her Del. There was this running joke in the planning stage I had where she'd ask Polnareff, their dad, why he named her Delphine.

I planned for him to have named her after some flowers Sherry had planted at their old home in the countryside, but for some reason past me felt like he'd tease her a bit and tell her he named her after a computer brand. I have no idea why I thought that was funny, but then again, I don't ever understand why past me thought/said/did anything...

So, in hindsight, I was like: "huh. yeah. I could draw the name Dell from two things here. Win-win.

Getting into the groove, where I establish Drive a bit more during Darius's fight with Angus, was pretty fun.

The scene with Avdol and his grandfather at the gravesite was actually added on much later after the chapter had already been posted, but I've already talked about why in a past note. The details about souls here will come back later on. Please trust me, I have a plan lol.

I cannot describe to anyone here how TIRED I was after I posted this update. If I remember correctly, I conked the fuck out that night as soon as I lied down lmao. Writing do be like that sometimes. It's funny because I can sit there and write a couple thousand words, feeling just fine and dandy. And after that it's like I have to stop right now or else the words will not flow; brain beavers will build a dam to stop it up.

Stand Name: Chamber 31

Reference: Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Ability: Void

Stand Range: 10 meters

Power-Distance Range: Anywhere

Explanation: Chamber 31 has a total of 31 rings across its body. These individual rings can resize and either connect two separate locations or lead to voids of various uses.

Limit: The rings are a dead give away. Only a few times have others been able to briefly outwit and go on the offense against the flying portals. It takes plenty of stand energy as well. While the user has trained, the speed will begin to wear off in prolonged battles and cause slow movement, making attacks easier to read. Beyond this, the stand can be considered weak due to lack of physical prowess and is simply floating parts attached by design. The stand is more ‘brain over brawn’ if it’s to be considered useful. Lastly, loss of concentration and imagery can cause user to end up in an unfamiliar space or different portal entirely.

Warning: Don’t let the eyes open. While the user toys with enemies the way a cat does a mouse, when in the throes of fury, the eyes of Chamber 31 are revealed and veins begin to crawl across the face. It is a signal a very painful end is imminent.

*Delphine wears four of these rings*

Personality: Delphine is referred to as the ‘Second Coming of Caesar Zeppeli’ by Joseph Joestar. The family member most like Caesar, she is proud of her Italian heritage and home, but is very hot blooded and easy to irritate. She is quite charming and can be very flirtatious, but is never so good with actual feelings. She can dress as what others call ‘provocative’, but she believes she has a right to dress how she chooses and will. She will make vulgar remarks and jokes and can be blunt, which purposely worsens when someone negatively points this side of her out. Despite her loud and exuberant nature, she became an assassin from a young age, both for money and due to several deaths in her family, which left her orphaned and alone.

Despite this, it is noted by her cousin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, that she can easily open her heart even if she tries to deny it. She views this as a weakness, but melts when those close to her are genuine. She can be stubborn and inflexible if she believes what she thinks will benefit others and despises rules, so she can quickly tread into reckless and disobedient nature, which can cause problems in a group setting.

This is my OC, Delphine Polnareff. I’ve posted her on TikTok before, but I’ve been trying to improve the art style and character design. This is in no way a permanent look, but a fun piece I drew.

[chikyuu-b]

This is my first time on Tumblr, but I’m excited to see where this goes! I have several OC's, but here, I’d like to focus more on the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Content, though I may put others here (unsure currently). I hope you enjoy!

And if you don’t, keep scrolling.
