THANK YOU??? I MEAN, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!

I am indeed very busy with school, but I can always respond to asks like this or a little chat! I just don't have time or energy to draw, but I'll be back this summer WOOOOOOO! >:D

I am really really glad that you like what I do so much to the point of inspiring you to do your own story! It's a very good feeling knowing that I am good enough to inspire people :'') 💖💖💖

And of course I'm also very glad you like my story!! It is still a work in progress, when I can I keep modifying things and it's all just messy, with posts where I tell important things or a big chunch of lore or just a tiny bit around the blog, I just have to put all of the things together in a single post and then I'll put the link in my pinned post! But I'll do that after Stone Ocean comes out, because now that there's the anime I stopped reading the manga (it's just difficult for me reading it, and I also prefer seing the characters move and hear their voices and sounds uwu. I still know how it ends so, what I need is to know what happends in the middle of it, that's also why I'm waiting for the anime XD).

STIIILL! Like I said I'm very glad you like it so far! I fatigue to express myself through words, but I do my best to make it as understandable as possible! And for that I also have to thank @helpimhyperfixating , because her writings make me understand the dynamic of writing and she also helps me! Thank you Gogo💖💖💖

And for Alex, again I am reeeeally glad that you like her! Because as I said in one of my previous posts, I basically grew up with her so she's very special to me and I'm glad that other people like her too :'') AND YEEES FREACKLES ARE AMAZING!!!

And your artstyle is also SO ADORABLEEEE!! I love the way you draw, the expressions and even you do a lot of freckles hehehe ;)) 💖💖💖

And also, thank YOU for stumbling into my blog! Your reblogs are- I LOVE THEM! The tags you put are so funny and so wholesome at the same, and I never get tired to read them!! They just express more the appreciation you have for my draws and I feel honoured ;v; 💖💖💖

THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING ASK!! I hope you have a nice day too! :D 💖💖💖💖💖

Hi! Are you a new reader? Check my masterlist for more content!

Please feel free to reblog or leave a comment :) help me support my art (it’s free!),

© bearing in mind everything I post/write is my intellectual property so please don’t steal/copy and paste and post it as yours.

It wasn’t unusual for you to lose yourself inside your own mind. Sometimes you would just zone out and wonder by the corridors of the labyrinth inside your head, falling into an infinite spiral of overthinking which wasn’t easy to escape. It was complicated to keep your paranoia under control; there were times in which you just couldn’t stop obsessing over a minor inconvenient happened to you, overthinking it enough to make it seem bigger than it really was, becoming anxious and hypervigilant as a consequence. And you hated it – you hated how your mind was able to control you in such a tricky way; you felt as if you were your own slave. Once crisis were over and you finally regained your so called ‘lucidity’ other emotions would take control of you; you’d start feeling stupid for making yourself go through all that suffering for something so silly, making you enter a loop of self denigration and severe self judgement. At times it would just be too much.

However, you were lucky enough to have Josuke by your side. The two of you had been together for some months and somehow he was perfectly able to save you from your own self. He always managed to put a smile on your face – he knew how to make you happy. Not that he was something that he had to plan ahead; it was just so natural for you to feel better whenever he was around. His smile, the way he managed to be so naïve yet so smart and mature at the same time just always enabled you to relax and feel better. His simple presence was enough to make you feel protected from both the outside world and the terrifying world that lived in your head.

Josuke never quite understood what really happened inside your mind whenever you’d have a crisis, and he learnt with time that the best thing he could do was simply listening to you. You were sure your thought process looked so indecipherable and nonsense to him, but he never pointed out. He would always be so supportive and would try his best to understand how you felt and your point of view – the last thing he wanted was to make you feel worse. He never judged you and he would always try to convince you that you should never feel ashamed of the way you felt. He was the first person to make you feel as if every little complicated emotion you felt was valid and wasn’t something that made you crazy, and you were just eternally glad to have him by your side.

Since the two of you started dating, you made some progress. Crisis became less usual and (most of the times) less intense than before, and with Josuke’s help, you were able to manage them better. His company had a major influence on you and on your overall state of mind, making your heart feel less heavy and filling your mind with wonderful memories – almost as if every moment you shared together somehow redecorated your mind, making it a bit less threatening and less uncomfortable than before.

However, this didn’t mean that crisis completely disappeared. You were playing videogames together in his living room when something just seemed to click in your mind. Although the enthusiasm shown by your boyfriend while playing, you just felt as if something just shut down. All of a sudden, you didn’t want to play anymore and felt as if you didn’t have any strength to push the buttons of your controller. That sensation led you to feel ungrateful and worthless. You started to think about how you ruined a perfect afternoon which your boyfriend was clearly enjoying, remembering all of the occasion something similar had happened. You thought he deserved way better than someone who’s broken and, like a hurricane, manages to destroy everything around them. These thoughts started to become louder and louder in your mind, as if a voice screamed at you about how you’d always stop Josuke from being happy. You tried your best to ignore it but you could only focus on how guilty you felt towards your boyfriend, and before realising it, tears started streaming down your face. Your cheeks became red as you ran your fingers through your air, starting to breathe heavily.

Josuke immediately noticed something was wrong, and he carelessly threw the controller away from him, turning to his side so he could face you.

He was visibly worried, yet he gently smiled at you as he delicately pulled you into his arms, kissing the top of your head. ‘Hey, hey..’ he said quietly, caressing your hair. 

‘What’s wrong?’

He questioned, looking at you while rubbing the tears off your face with his thumb. A small moment of silence settled down between you two. ‘It’s okay, I’m here. Breathe with me, mh?’ he whispered gently. He took your hands in his and, looking at you, he helped you normalising the pace of your breath. You followed the movement of his strong shoulders as he breathed, slowly relaxing yourself.  

‘I’m sorry. I always do this. I ruin every moment we get to spend together. You deserve better.’ 

You sniffed, hiding your face in his chest – not being able to bear any type of eye contact. ‘Hey! I thought I was the funny one!’ he said jokingly, leaving a cute kiss on the tip of your nose. You smiled weakly, shaking your head in disagreement. ‘You make me so happy. And in this regard.. I want you to see something!’ 

He continued, standing up from the couch and going to his bedroom. A few minutes later, when he came back to you, he was holding a little box in his hands.

You looked at him in confusion, while he goofily smiled at you, blushing. He sat next to you, putting his arms around your body and letting your back rest on his chest. He took advantage of this position to leave a kiss on your cheek. ‘Open it!’ he said, raising his tone in excitement.

You held the little square box in your hands for a bit, observing it. It was made of rough wood, probably crafted by hand by your lover. On the top of it, a writing made with a red marker pen said ‘Golden Days’. You opened the box only to reveal a pile of Polaroids of you, Josuke and some of your friends, taken in particular days of which you had a wonderful memory of – you could vividly remember the happy and how light-hearted you felt in those days. As you leafed through the pictures, Josuke would happily start talking about the day they represented.

‘Do you remember this day? We were on my uncle’s yacht!’ 

He said, pointing at a picture you were holding in your hand.

‘How can I forget? The air was sauna hot and you complained all day about how the temperature was ruining your hair!’ You said laughing, as your boyfriend started to tickle your waist. ‘HEY!’ he screamed. ‘My hair is a serious issue and you know it!’ he continued, as he tickled you more as if he was trying to punish you. He knew you couldn’t resist it and soon enough your laugh filled the room, followed by his. When he finally stopped, Josuke looked at you for a few seconds before showering you with kisses while you tried your best to keep looking at the polaroids without getting too distracted.

‘I didn’t know you had this box!’ you said, feeling way better than you did minutes before. 

‘I had it for a while, and decided you needed one of this too.’ he answered seriously, while moving your hair from your face.  ‘If I’m not there, I want you to have something for when you feel as if the light begins to fade.’ He continued, leaving a soft kiss on your temple.

After hearing those words, you couldn’t help but smile. He had his own, simple way to make you happy – and he never failed at it. Somehow, he was capable to make your heart and your mind to feel completely at peace, gifting you of special moments when things weren’t so complicated. You turned around to face Josuke, putting your hands on his chest and leaning on him for a kiss. As you did so, he smiled too, letting one of his hand gently running up and down your back. 

‘Thanks.’ you whispered as you rested your head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. In response, Josuke let out a tender laugh. 

‘I love you, (Y/N). This is the least I can do.’ he replied, never stopping from cuddling you.

The two of you remained like this for a while, enjoying each other’s attentions and delicate touch.

Hey Sohin? I've been feeling kinda down recently because it seems like no one is liking my content that I've worked hard on💔. heck until yesterday I had 0 followers 😔. I guess I feel left out 😣. I don't know who to come to So I thought you may have some words of advice?

Weeblife24-7 said: I didn't think I would add to what I just sent but there's more I want to say. Is my art even that good? Is my writing bad? Im doubting all that I post and I've had tumbler for Almost a month. Is it selfish wanting people to ask me questions or like my post? I'm sorry but I really just want some advice. Ok I think I let it all out.

Under the cut for length.

Well, I'm probably not the right person to come for advice, my blog is still fairly small, I come from another platform, after all.

Why you don’t get followers on Tumblr

The thing I've learned about Tumblr is that it's a website that works a lot around communities and not individuality, like every other website and apps.

Unlike Wattpad and AO3 where your work will gain visibility regardless of your numbers, Tumblr works around interactions with people. Which is complicated. 

I tried to be a loner here, like I've always been, I never had writer friends, and my blog did not grow for a whole month and a half, even though I tried to do like everyone else, I learned so much to understand Tumblr users’s psyche and the website’s functionning. I considered deleting the whole blog because nobody saw my fics, at all (and I still consider stopping posting one shots here anymore).

It’s very complicated, especially when you have no friends online to help you out. My friends IRL don’t speak english and couldn’t support me and my work, which was fine because Wattpad’s Algorithm works wonders for individual writers. Heck, you don’t even need followers on Wattpad to be put on top of the charts.

AO3 works amazingly with tags. You search Jojo, you get Jojo, all of it. The referencing is amazing, there’s no ‘popular’ categories, you get everything the website has to offer and you can very easily filter out your preferences, it’s hard to miss even small authors.

My advices?

My advices would be, join groups, ask for shout outs from bigger blogs (even though I didn’t do it by modesty, you should), make blogger friends that do similar things to you and reblog and support each other.

To get asks and requests I don't have the secret formulas, but setting rules + posting my personnal, unsolicited Headcanons for display really helped.

I'd suggest you use and abuse tags. Abuse them. Tumblr is so bad at tag-referencing, use them a lot.

Personally, I got extremely lucky and got reblogged by the beautiful @cocojumbohno who unintentionally gave me a big boost of visibility. I'll never thank them enough.

I was also taken into the community by the love of my life @gio-is-writing who was so kind to tag me when I joined the website and bring me into a warm group of beautiful people. I'd still be a lone wolf in my empty dark corner without her.

My last advice is a bit cheesy, but you have to love what you do first, and not work to gain likes and followers and notoriety. If you don't like your own work, and expect to grow fast, you'll disappoint yourself and this is a very degrading mindset and unfulfilling way of proceeding.

Don’t look at the numbers, never ever look at the numbers. Numbers are dangerous, statistics are horrible for your mental state and motivation. I live everyday thinking like this. Numbers are meaningless.

If you look at the biggest people out there (I'm thinking people like Markiplier or Araki) they started as nobodies, they only succeeded because they loved doing what they did.

Markiplier got his entire channel deleted and had to restart from 0 subscribers . Araki's manga was hated by everyone and no one wanted to publish him across Japan.

You worry too much about superficial things

Stop caring about people's validation, whether they'll like your stuff or not. Just, go ahead and create things that you and only you like. Don't put unfounded pressure on yourself, this is very unhealthy.

Don’t wait for people to tell you what to do. Find inspiration everywhere, and create. Just dive in. If your art and writing is good to you then it is good. Period.

If it makes you feel better, I had another book on Wattpad, a My Hero Academia x Reader one shot book that gained a total of 14 views in 2 years.

I started my JJBA book expecting the same results, heck, I expected to receive hate. I was ready to take it and get my face spat on.

I kept on writing because I actually liked doing it, it took my mind off of work and loneliness. I posted my stories out of selflessness, wanting to share with people who were fated to fall upon my writing, but mostly just for my own selfish self, which is contradictory in a way.

I'm not the biggest author, far from that. But I'm satisfied with myself and my work at least. I love Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and I love making readers feel loved.

Think about why you started posting. Why are you drawing and writing? To be famous? To please others? To earn money? To express yourself? As a coping mechanism? Because you’re bored?

Whatever is your answer, just do what you feel is right and ignore everything else. The asks, the followers, the comments those are mere bonuses. They're not goals.

At least, that's how I see it. You are free to disagree of course.

— 8 PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER !!

( repost, don’t reblog. )

ONE ( NAME / ALIAS ):  Vee TWO ( BIRTHDAY ): October 28th THREE ( ZODIAC SIGN ):  Scorpio  FOUR ( HEIGHT ):  5′4 FIVE ( HOBBIES ): Playing games, reading, origami, watching random videos on youtube SIX ( FAVOURITE COLOUR(S) ): It changes all the time, but I’m rather partial to dark blue, forest green and maroon! SEVEN ( FAVOURITE BOOKS ): Gosh, there’s quite a bit. I’m a huge fan of the fantasy genre so it makes up most of my reading; The Night Circus, His Dark Materials trilogy, The Book Thief, Assassin’s Apprentice, The Name of the Wind, and The Hundred Foot Journey (which isn’t a fantasy but it’s great nonetheless) come to mind. But that’s just what I have on my Kindle right now, there’s way more.  EIGHT ( LAST SONG LISTENED TO ): Sairen - Reol NINE ( LAST FILM WATCHED ): Howl’s Moving Castle TEN ( INSPIRATION FOR MUSE ): Before I created Kourin, I thought up of his ability. I’ve always loved the aesthetic of paper manipulation, and I wanted a character that could utilise it. Eventually, an opportunity presented itself in a novel I was writing. The idea for his informational gathering came about that time as well- though it was unrefined. Though he was only a minor character who didn’t appear for long, I decided that I liked him a lot and wanted to write more about him- which is why I converted him and his sister into a JJBA OCs, and created this blog.

Mai was actually created before Kourin, as one of the main characters to the story they belong to. Her Stand, when I created her JJBA verse, is based off of a concept I really enjoyed- which is using our shared condition, synesthesia, in a power. It might be a little self-indulgent, but I just love the idea, hehe!

TWELVE ( MEANING BEHIND YOUR URL ): It’s based off of Kourin’s Stand’s name, Paperback Writer, which I chose for his Stand because its lyrics were pretty much his frame of mind while he was still a journalist. Coincidentally, I also chose his real name, Lear, because the man described in the song was also called Lear. 

(I thought really long and hard about both of the siblings’ names, ahaha)
