Johnny Joestar, youngest son of Charles and Isabell Joestar. His older brother died in a horse riding accident at the age of 17, when Johnny was 11. His brother was a great horseman, just like his father wanted, but when he died his expectations were dashed, Johnny trained and became a great horseman, but his father did not recognize him as Nicolas, in fact he disowned him and kept repeating that "he had lost the wrong son".

Johnny knew a secret about his brother, that he would take to his grave, Nicolas liked horses, but he didn't like the way his parents made him dress, Johnny asked him how he would like to dress and showed him some pictures of people dressed in jackets and spikes, and some were made up, told him that this was the punk style, and that he would like to dress like that. The younger could see why, there was something in that style that was attractive to him.

When at the age of 22 he lost mobility in his legs due to a shot, his world fell apart, lower than he already was. His parents ended up throwing him out of his life, he was not allowed to even try to ride a horse again, he went from being the great rich rider to the poor paralyzed middle class. It was then that he remembered the style of dress that his brother wanted.

He sold most of the trophies he won as a jockey, and with that money he filled his wardrobe with punk clothes and bought makeup too, he began to dress with it, he went out on the streets like that, he liked it, in some way it helped him express himself.

He had been like this for three years, had achieved economic stability and was beginning to go to therapy to try to recover his walking, he was being treated by an Italian doctor whom he was becoming friends with, he had a somewhat hippie style, but he liked him, and his help was working little by little.

Everything was going well, his doctor-friend-person with whom he flirts from time to time told him that he should go to therapy for his Daddy Issues, to which he told him that he also had Daddy Issues, he didn't know much about his past but the man had fallen for his father several times, this river.

◆☆◆

It was a random day when he felt a bite on his neck, he didn't care, thinking it was a mosquito, but hours later he lay dizzy in his bed.

☆

The next morning he woke up... With more hair than usual, and these were more platinum than usual... Nah, surely he was seeing badly-- wait... he could see them exactly...

He opened his window and took a look, God, the world was never so bright. Johnny could perfectly see the man who was in front of the flower shop 19 m away as if he were facing him.

When he closed the window he got stuck there for a while, for some reason his hand got stuck there. When he went to the bathroom to see himself, he found that the roots of his hair were turning more platinum, but not quite white, more like an albino blonde. And when he took off his shirt and saw his abdomen, he found a strange peacock pattern framed there, when he touched it, he noticed that it was made of hair. Ugh, yuck, he wasn't a fan of body hair at all.

It took him approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to shave completely, using an electric razor. And it took him about 15 minutes to get the razor off HIS FUCKING HAND BECAUSE IT HAD ALSO GLUED THE DAMN!!

This day he couldn't get any worse, luckily he had nothing to do... THAT'S NOT TRUE, HE HAD AN *INFORMAL* DATE WITH GYRO! AAAAAHHH!!

He dressed and bathed quickly and arrived at the meeting point, a restaurant, Gyro, his doctor, had invited him for lunch. Luckily he had started to get up early, that allowed him to arrive on time despite the inconveniences. Although once he was there he wondered if it had been a good idea to go out on a date with his... Condition of him. But anyway, he was already there, and Gyro too.

◆☆◆

The date passed normally, and it was wonderful, Johnny had to hide certain things that suddenly stuck to his hands and take them off without Gyro noticing, but he was fine, everything was going great... Until in the middle of their kiss His hand got stuck in Gyro's hair...

▪︎◆☆◆▪︎

They had to go home together and shave where his hand had gotten stuck, they ended up shaving some more to make it look good.

Gyro started the topic after a brief silence, saying that now that he saw it better the roots in his hair were starting to look whiter, and Johnny told him how he woke up. Gyro asked him if he could throw cobwebs to which he glared at him for joking, but they ended up experimenting and discovered that no, he didn't have cobwebs.

Johnny was very worried, but Gyro told him that he would be with him, and that they would find a solution, the Spiders had done it, they would too. It was when Gyro mentioned the Spiders that he remembered his cousin Jonathan Joestar, who if he remembered correctly was a friend of Robert EO Speedwagon, who was CEO of the Speedwagon Foundation, a Foundation that was associated with the Spiders.

He told Gyro and the next day he was calling his cousin to give him an appointment with Speedwagon, his cousin promised to see if he could find something for him and about three days later told him that they had made an appointment with him. If Jonathan had known what he wanted, his cousin would have gone to see it himself.

▪︎◆☆◆▪︎

Two weeks and 5 days later, the day to meet Speedwagon finally came, he had been practicing what he could with Gyro so that at least he wouldn't stick to random things unconsciously, they discovered that he had more strength, better eyesight, and that his hair grew enormously every three days, his hair was already completely platinum, and most importantly, he could make himself invisible, to him, to his clothes and to any small object he was touching.

Speedwagon was surprised and called the closest Spiders, Spider-Sun and Star-Spider, oh, and apparently a new member dressed in pink. They voices were familiar to him.

Speedwagon said that it seems there were more radioactive spiders than they thought, and that the blonde had been bitten by one.

That apparently surprised Sun-Spider a lot, who unexpectedly took off his mask revealing that it was his cousin Jonathan's. That would not be the only surprise because the one in pink would also remove his mask, revealing Hot Pants, his cousin.

When Johnny yelled cousin and cousin two times, the room got more confused, it seems that Jonathan and Hot Pants didn't know they were cousins, oh well. The room was almost filled with screams, but Speedwagon ordered them to calm down. Star-Spider let out something that sounded like "Yare yare daze" before removing his mask, below he saw a Japanese man with some English features, surely a half-breed like his cousins ​​Jonathan and Joseph, he introduced himself as Jotaro Kujo, cousin of Jonathan, Johnny remembered hearing about him but never met him because he lived in Japan.

They asked him what he wanted to do with his powers, the truth was he never thought about it, he asked them if there was a way to reverse them but they answered no for now.

"What would he do with his powers?" that was an interesting question. They offered him to join the arachnid society, he could be an active Spider like them, or he could help in other ways, like George, Jonathan's son, or Josefumi, Joseph's brother-in-law, who had powers but used them to help in other ways less dangerous. Or, he could also simply continue living as before, but now with powers, they offered to give him free training and monitoring so that he could continue with his life normally.

He said that he would think about it.

▪︎◆☆◆▪︎

Johnny talk to Gyro, he don't reveal the identities of the Spiders he knew, but he had to tell him what they told him, after all, now they were partners in this. Gyro told him that he would make the decision that he wanted, and he would see how he could help him.

▪︎◆☆◆▪︎

It took him and the Speedwagon Foundation a month to finish the spider-wheelchair he requested, but when he was done it was excellent, and the world was introduced to Spider-Act.

End of Narrative.

ok I have A Lot of thoughts about the staircase confession (well really about Edwin's whole character arc, but all roads lead to rome) but for now I just wanna say that, yes, I was bracing myself for something to go terribly wrong when I first watched it, and yes, part of me was initially worried its placement might be an uncharacteristically foolish choice made in the name of Drama or Pacing or Making a Compelling Episode of Television but at the expense of narrative sense--

But I wanna say that having taken all that into account, and watched it play out, and sat with it - and honestly become rather transfixed by it - I really think it's a beautifully crafted moment and truly the only way that arc could've arrived at such a satisfying conclusion.

And if I had to pinpoint why I not only buy it but also have come to really treasure it, I'd have to put it down to the fact that it genuinely is a confession, and nothing else.

That moment is an announcement of what Edwin has come to understand about himself, but because it takes the form of a character admitting romantic feelings for such a close friend, I think it can be very easy, when writing that kind of thing, to imbue it with other elements like a plea or a request or even the start of a new relationship that, intentionally or not, would change the shape of the moment and can quickly overshadow what a huge deal the telling is all on its own. But that's not the case here. Since it is only a confession, unaccompanied by anything else, and since we see afterward how it was enough, evidently, to fix the strangeness that had grown between him & Charles, we're forced to understand that it was never Edwin's feelings that were actually making things difficult for him - it was not being able to tell Charles about them. 'Terrified' as he's been of this, Edwin learns that his feelings don't need to either disappear completely or be totally reciprocated in order for him to be able to return to the peace, stability, and security of the relationship with which he defines his existence - and the scale of that relief a) tells us a hell of a lot about Edwin as a character and b) totally justifies the way his declaration just bursts out of him at what would otherwise be such a poorly chosen moment, in my opinion.

Whether or not they are or ever could be reciprocated, Edwin's feelings are definitively proven not to be the problem here - only his potential choice to bottle it up - his repression - is. And where that repression had once been mainly involuntary, a product of what he'd been through, now that he's got this new awareness of himself, if he still fails to admit what he's found either to himself or to the one person he's so unambiguously close with, then that repression will be by his own choice and actions.

And he won't do that. Among other things, he's coming into this scene having just (unknowingly) absolved the soul of his own school bully and accidental killer by pointing out a fact that is every bit as central to his self-discovery as anything about his sexuality or his attraction to Charles is: the idea that "If you punish yourself, everywhere becomes Hell"

So narratively speaking, of course it makes sense that Edwin literally cannot get out of Hell until he stops punishing himself - and right now, the thing that's torturing him is something he has control over. It's not who he is or what he feels, but what he chooses to do with those feelings that's hurting him, and he's even already made the conscious choice to tell Charles about them, he was just interrupted. But now that they're back together and he's literally in the middle of an attempt to escape Hell, there is absolutely no way he can so much as stop for breath without telling Charles the truth. Even the stopping for breath is so loaded - because they're ghosts, they don't need to breathe, but also they're in Hell, so the one thing they can feel is pain, however nonsensical. And Edwin certainly is in pain. But whether he knows what he's about to do or not when he says he 'just needs a tick,' a breather is absolutely not what's gonna give him enough relief to keep climbing - it's fixing that other hurt, though, that will.

Like everything else in that scene, there's a lot of layers to him promising Charles "You don't have to feel the same way, I just needed you to know" - but I don't think that means it isn't also true on a surface level. It's the act of telling Charles that matters so much more than whatever follows it, and while that might have gone unnoticed if anything else major had happened in the same conversation, now we're forced to acknowledge its staggering and singular importance for what it is. The moment is well-earned and properly built up to, but until we see it happen in all its wonderful simplicity, and we see the aftermath (or lack thereof, even), we couldn't properly anticipate how much of a weight off Edwin's shoulders merely getting to share the truth with Charles was going to be, why he couldn't wait for a better, safer opportunity before giving in to that desire, or how badly he needed to say it and nothing else - and I really, really love the weight that act of just being honest, seen, and known is given in their story/relationship.

MOVIN' RIGHT ALONG!

SHARE YOUR HEADCANNONS ABOUT CHRISTINAAAAA 🫶🫶

First, I'm so sorry for the late answer months later 😭😭🙏 Please forgive me and second!! Actually I hadn't thought of many headcanons for her... yet... but she's one of my favorite characters so ofc I thought of some!! I might say silly ones or ones more about her personal life (and definitely not projecting some parts!) I love Christina Posabule 🙏♥️

Music wise I think Christina would like 60s music, rock, and/or synth-pop or idk genres are hard to actually get right nowadays. If it's specfic, "The Daughters of Eve" and Mitski would be part of her favorites fjjdbrbnd (then I think she'd like The Killers especially "When You Were Young" when she was in her teens :)) Speaking of Christina in her teens, she'd want to learn piano or some sort of instrument but her parents probably got annoyed by how much she played so she wouldn't have as many chances. She's definitely a bookworm or just loves reading and also writes in her freetime like little stories or poems. And when Block ended up staying with Orel's family, she was kind of the only one who missed him as her parents didn't really mind/express their emotions about it.

Andddd talking about her parents, they're both VERY controlling and kept watch on what she'd do, the polar opposite with Orel, which his parents didn't gaf where he was 💔💔 Especially Poppit, and I think with Christina's story it'd be a toxic mother-daughter relationship (mommy issues!) rather than her and her dad, and that Poppit rather likes taking charge but to be in "a woman's place" y'know sexism and even tells Art what to do but makes sure that he does what a "man has to." And she'd be veryyy persistent on Christina with how she presents herself and make sure that she was a nice church girl at all times. And Poppit would very much have breakdowns in front of her and vent to her about her own issues... yeah... And whenever Christina was getting yelled at or being told what to do the only thing she could do is not say anything back to not upset them. She was also grabbed a lot like by her wrists or something similar how they showed in the show. When she moved to Moralton, she was bummed out bc yeah she just moved to a new place where she knows no one. Then when she met Orel something about him intrigued her and she's like Oooh y'know what I like this place already... then BOOM! Having to move again :( Also I don't know if it's just me but she's probably homeschooled or she's just attending another school jfjfnntnf and about her past town she'd be doing so many shenanigans during the same time as Orel probably. Another silly thing she might be more confident than him like I think he'd be more shy when he got older fjjdjnfbfn

Also yes Christina was sadistic I had to say it bc... we remember Orel's masochist era... And same thing with her being emo/goth when Orel was and at least for a while when they were teens👍👍 It's canon bc I said so

About when she's an adult, once Orel and her got married and had their kids, she'd be really worried about repeating anything her own mother used to do to her (along with Orel who'd try to be the best dad to his kids and would ask Christina if he was doing a good job if he was too worried about becoming anything similar to Clay or just anything otherwise) and I'm not quite sure about if whether she kept contact with her parents but she probably would but obviously has a strained relationship with them along with Orel's parents... But she would give her own family all her love :D also she's definitely working in a type of job I forgot which one but something that helps people bc she's sweet like that <3 so yeah girlboss !!

I might've forgotten some things to mention or other things I had in mind for her but yeah!! Or it was badly/worded weird perdón. Thanks for reading 💕

[empress-hancock]

Trans activism relies so heavily on the idea that women are just as bad as men and that misogyny is not real because transwomen need that to be true in order to not he perceived as a threat. If women are just as bad then transwomen (males) are no worse than women (females)! But the truth is that women are not just as violent and transwomen retain male patterns of violence even after transition. This is a reality that they are desperately trying to cover up in order to remain in control. They convince a bunch of teens that actually they’re more likely to be victims of violence (not only are they less likely to be murdered but they are less likely, as individuals, to be victims of hate crimes than entire lgbt organizations are) than perpetrate it and then make those teens too afraid to even question it, lest they become a bigot, and they have the security they need to remain an authority (and eliminate any acknowledgement of the privilege they have on account of being white and heterosexual and male, which most of them are right now)

I know I’ve seen similar ones of these with the PCs, but I don’t remember any full family polls so!

I noticed you've been making more art of Machete and Vasco after they met again as adults - is this canon? Do they get to rekindle their friendship after all, or is it still brief and bittersweet? (I love your characters and art, btw!)

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

It's canon, I believe. After their confusing and apprehensive friends-to-lovers involvement ended in their early 20's, their paths end up crossing again unexpectedly in their mid 30's and things gradually grow from there.
