My thoughts on JJBA OVER HEAVEN

So first of all -

it seems my JJBA binge is not over yet, I am still on the desert island and instead of their being water sources large enough to get waterboarded in like last time, I am instead finding small refreshing puddles.

This is copy pasted from my twitter so pardon if its formatted weirdly

I read the novel and- (spoilers under cut)

although it might be dubiously canon, I like it a lot that I think it should be considered so, and in my mind overrides any inconsistencies that the anime/manga may bring up. The timeline seems fucked either way you look at it, fittingly for this story I guess

I liked how it showed the evolution of his idea of ‘heaven’ and how it slowly became what Pucci defined it as. I like how it gives depth without straying from Dio’s insane villainy. and the mommy issues were certainly something as well It actually made me appreciate part 1

I have realised this while I was still watching the anime, but the novel confirms it; all the villains either represent a part of Dio, the big bad

Kars - Dio’s desire to constantly transcend his current state, humanity and whatnot, keep moving up the power scale

Kira - Dio’s idea that all humans live for ‘peace of mind’, as he puts it for himself- ‘preparedness’, knowing that the future will be fine

Diavolo - Dio’s resolve to move only forward, only towards the future

I do love how for the two Stand users, their Stands complement their motives, Kira creating time loops to ensure nothing bad happens to him, and Diavolo ‘skipping time’ to move into and foresee the future. Kira is more ‘stuck in the past’ and Diavolo is heading for the future

Dio is in the present, he merely stops time for a few seconds. It sets up the time manipulation premise in the simplest way and also gives him the further mindfuckery he needs to arrive at his conclusion

And then Pucci, the final villain, is Dio’s resolve to get to ‘heaven’, the culmination of the mindfuckery- their conclusion of it being that the definition of ‘heaven’ is obtaining peace by knowing all of the future and all of fate, and living it out in preparedness.

Their Stands are also opposite of one another, Dio stops time for a brief moment and Pucci accelerates it for all of eternity. Pucci is the kind of fucking guy to spoil the entire movie before watching it

I do love how they define fate as ‘gravity between people', and connect that to the theory of relativity (i’m always a sucker for this kind of shit) combining scientific theory with ideas of fate through a religious character is also just a cherry on top, I love it

THAT and how his Stand Whitesnake, whose powers are to extract ‘souls�� (or so to speak), is covered in the abbreviation of DNA compounds. Also fun fact whitesnake’s voice is based off of patrick star from spongebob

Overall, it was interesting to read how Dio became obsessed with the concept of fate, Ironically, were JJBA to be written with more foresight (preparedness even), then maybe Dio’s thoughts could’ve been more implemented into the story. Don’t get me wrong, he should still be his insane-cartoonishly-evil self at the same time, I love him for that. However, this novel was not written by the OG author, so who knows how canon it even is.

Another thing of note: Dio and Pucci seem to arrive at their idea of ‘heaven’ independently (you could argue Dio kind of began it by suggesting the idea of ‘gravity’ to him), but it was Pucci’s circumstances that ultimately led to it. Dio, at least for a few pages, believes that what one is born into decides everything. And they were born into vastly different situations. Dio talks a lot about his hate of nobles and ‘inheritors’ and hated both his biological and adoptive family.

Pucci is from an influential wealthy family and loved them so. Dio’s sibling was a miscarriage and Pucci’s presumed-dead-twin was actually alive. But both lived circumstances that arrived to a shared idea of ‘heaven’. Dio knows at least the deaths in Pucci’s life, I wonder if he knows his background and if knowing it would challenge or confirm his idea of fate.

I can’t help but wonder how Pucci felt reading the diary through Jotaro’s memories. Also wonder if Pucci saw how Dio died through none other than Jotaro’s memories as well.

Also i don’t know why, this is probably not what is implied cuz it wouldn’t fit characterwise(unless?) but……… did Pucci take Dio’s memory of showing him The World????? Why is it written this way and if so then adhsagdah??

Anyways if you ask me if i’m team ‘ora-ora’ or team ‘muda-muda’ its the latter for me baby

i'm thinking to make a blog with carol (jackie's tia) what do you think?

/mod

Okay so, canon and headcanon time!

Carol is from Columbia which means her first language is Spanish, I imagine that sometimes she says sayings that only exist in Spanish but directly translates them to English, also the other way around. Also she most likely still has an accent, even if she's spent most of her adult life in the US (my grandfather taught at a college in the US for several decades and he still has an accent). Of course, you can't have an accent when typing, but I thought it would be fun to add this.

From what we can tell, Frank is a white man (a gringo) because I don't think his last name comes from Hispanic descent (Smith). So some backstory for her would be that her parents didn't approve of her marriage to a white man (I'm Hispanic/Latino and I can confirm that my grandparents aren't too ecstatic of my aunt dating a white Australian man lol).

I'm not Columbian, but I do know a lot about South American culture (because, again, I am South American), and I feel like that would be important to Carol's character. She'd probably know some traditional dances, foods, etc.

She canonically calls Jackson cariño (sweetie) and other fond names. But a headcanon of mine is that she speaks to Jackson in Spanish whenever Frank isn't around so he doesn't feel left out. (I think he'd know some Spanish, but not enough to join conversations)

I'll let you know if I can think of anything else!

Jimin’s Production Diary “Special Talk with Jimin”

[isbasilisk]

I need to draw more but this ASBR has been in charge of my motor function so whatever 🫡

[cuntstable]

about last post like if i could write id make a short fic actually about pucci looking through different memory discs through out the years. like watching his sisters disc as a teenager shortly after she died (he only ever watched it once), revisiting weathers later on in life, maybe emporios mothers disc and ultimately dios and the whole point would be about how he went from a person who could and was affected by the suffering of others to just like an emotionally hollow murderer consumed by his idea for salvation from guilt. but alas i cant write so whatever

Thinking of re-doing one of my old Omori aus (my "OHHELL" au)

Doing the same approach as my brother (Danny,, @dannybobany ) did for his au (Marzenie). Cuz- woah. Never thought of that actually, was doing the common switched roles for the au. But now I think I can just simply have Hero's headspace being more of an unfinished area?

Main stuff to know tho; ocean themed — mermaids (love/forsaken love). Slightly religious (church, and "perfection"). Others vs You (? Maybe?). Tradition vs New (can go well with the church idea!).

It was- mainly inspired by the song Love Ka? 👍 (But also also! Bathtub mermaid too!!)

"What you need is my Stand "The World". What you can find beyond the powers of my Stand is where you need to go in order to find Heaven. What you need is a trustworthy friend. He must be someone capable of controlling his own desires. He must be someone who is not interested in political power, fame, wealth, or sexual desire, and who chooses the will of God before the law of humans."

. . . . .

"Pfft... sure..." Adelaide grumbled, thinking on what she read in her lover's most recent diary entry. "His idea of Heaven is noble, but unfortunately for him that isn't how the world works. I think those decades in that stupid coffin rattled him more than the acid and LSD did to me back in 1976 when I was a total party girl, man...". The blonde shook her head. "To sacrifice yourself to achieve salvation is utterly ridiculous."

Ahhh this couple is starting to become my utter comfort~!!

I still love Giorno and Polnareff, but... there's just... something about Dio that keeps pulling me back. There's just SOMETHING there that I find more intriguing than what my other two boys have. ;w;

But alas, this is the first drawing I've done since having my splint removed. My wrist doesn't even hurt, although it does still feel stiff when bent in some directions. I never was good at backgrounds, so I apologize for the shitty glow effect. It was all I could think of that wouldn't push my wrist further. u.u

Anyhow, I hope you guys like the art!!

A List of Times Dio Brando Has Appeared In My Dreams (a memoir)

Today marks the ???th occaision of Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure appearing in my dreams.

I should note that I haven't read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, haven't watched the anime, and have no intention of doing either, yet this mf continues to appear in my dreams.

This has been going on for years now, and more than one of my friends has stated now that he is surprisingly "in-character" whilst in my dreams, so with him appearing yet again in my dreams I thought I'd finally share some of the saga of this random-ass anime character messing around in my dreams for the amusement of onlookers everywhere

Enjoy.

Dream 1, The Cosplay:

The first dream I ever had that featured Dio happened back at the height of quarantine in 2020. Had a dream about quarantining in a fancy apartment, alone in a big city. Tuned into a livestream where a bunch of folks were having a "stay-at-home convention," and at one point they had a little contest where the idea was to put together the best cosplay you could of an anime character from stuff around your home under a time limit.

That sounded like fun, so I waited for the timer to start, then began rifling through my closet for stuff. Admittedly I don't watch much anime at all, so I was struggling for a character to try and cosplay when a thought wormed its way into my head, almost forcibly: I had a few things that would work perfect for Dio Brando.

So, I rifled through my closet, grabbing a yellow jumpsuit, a black undershirt, some random green bits of cloth and makeup and proceeded to make the crappiest Dio cosplay you've ever fucking seen. Looking in the mirror once I was done cobbling stuff together and happy with what I had managed to scrounge together, I looked down to the counter to grab the final touch: some green lipstick.

As I looked into the mirror again, I noticed that something was wrong with my face: it already had the green lipstick on, and it seemed to be morphing and changing. As I touched and focused on my face, the changes rapidly took hold, and before I could really respond I WAS Dio Brando. I'd been transformed into him. Spent the rest of that dream just walking around my apartment as him, awkwardly standing around and bewildered.

Dream 2, Shenanigans Against Our Will:

This was either the second or third time Dio showed up in my dreams, can't quite remember which. Either way, it involved me hanging out with a friend of mine when Dio and some lackeys showed up. They were destroying stuff and causing all sorts of chaos around town, and before either me nor my friend could run for it, Dio roped me and my friend (along with about a half dozen other unfortunate souls) into going along with his shenanigans and helping him and his lackeys destroy stuff, under the threat of death if we disobeyed.

We went from door to door in town, with Dio fucking up each house in a different way. One of them he changed into a jagged mess of spiky, non-euclidian shapes, like a glitch in a videogame, with the residents still inside. Another house he killed everyone inside of in increasingly whackier and cartoony ways, having a good laugh about it all. And then another house he just stole some stuff from.

At one point, me and my friend tired to bail, only for Dio and his lackeys to catch back up with us and drag us back into causing mayhem. Dio apparently found this hilarious, cackling the whole time he forced us back into the group to partake in committing arson and the like.

Not a great time, tbh.

Dream 3, Dio Goes Full Karen:

Had another dream once where I was at mall with some friends and family.

It was one of those weird malls that only occur in dreams, too big/weirdly structured to exist IRL, but in the dream it's perfectly normal and accepted.

Anyway, I was walking down into this weird wavy, tiled pit that the food court was in with my friend when all the sudden I hear some loud yelling. I turn my head towards the little coffeeshop kiosk nearby and wouldn't you fuckin' know it's Dio FUCKIN' Brando again, loudly arguing with the barista.

Me and my friend pass by as we're heading to a different kiosk and overhear a bit of what's going on. Apparently the barista messed up his order, some sort of big fancy drink he ordered, in several ways and he's demanding blood because of it, livid as can be. He's pulling out all the stops: he wants to see the manager, how did this person even get hired, such incompetence, the usual guff you'll recognize if you've ever worked retail ever, etc.

He continues ranting and raving and we try to pass by, only for him to recognize us, apparently (this was a different friend than the one I had in the last dream, FYI). He proceeds to try and call us over to back him up, acting as if we know him and would assist him, and we both book it away from that mess as fast as we can.

Hope that poor barista got a raise.

Dreams ?-???, Random Encounters:

Ever since I had my first dream featuring him, Dio has shown up off and on, even when not the main focus of a dream/moment in a dream.

Over the years I've noted a few times he's been in crowds, sitting around at a location I'm at in a dream, etc.

One time he was one of the lackeys of a different Big Bad in one of my nightmares, and another time he was just casually standing in the same line as me at a store in a different dream.

Dude's been hanging around for a while, but I haven't had another dream with him as a focus in quite some time...until last night.

Dream 4, The Ruined Vacation:

So, last night.

Slept deep, had a vivid dream.

I was on vacation in a cozy town in the French countryside with my family. We decided to stay in a hotel room whose balcony overlooked the town's small marketplace, all very quaint and cozy.

The hotel itself was strange, way taller on the inside than it was on the outside, and gave off eerily liminal and abandoned vibes. Anyway, we got our room and we climbed up the satirs, and the whole time a creeping sense of dread continued to gnaw at me.

We get to our room, and, finally, here he comes, the mf of the hour.

Turns out Dio and some pals of his had rented the suite next to ours, and how better to celebrate than to be loud and obnoxious, break shit, and ruin our vacation as best he can.

Starting off, he trapped two of my family members' souls into a basketball, which he then dribbled down the street as I chased him. He played a professional level game of keep-away with it the whole damn time, with me yelling and swinging at him and the ball to no avail. This mf.

Later on in the dream I met up with some friends, and one of them went missing. Dio heavily implied that he'd stuffed said friend's body into the air ducts above one of the hotel rooms, which me and a couple of pals tore up looking for it, only to realize that Dio had tricked us into digging a huge hole between two floors of the hotel, with no air ducts, body, or friend in sight. Thissssss bastard.

Finally confrontation involved me coming to kick his ass whilst he casually floated in midair, spinning the basketball atop his finger, monologing as I approached, completely unbothered...

And then I woke up.

Didn't even get a chance to punch him.

In conclusion:

Whoever sent this motherfucker to my subconscious take him back, I do not want him. Thank you.

Mettimi come sigillo sul tuo cuore,

come sigillo sul tuo braccio;

perché forte come la morte è l'amore,

tenace come il regno dei morti è la passione:

le sue vampe sono vampe di fuoco,

una fiamma divina!

Le grandi acque non possono spegnere l'amore né i fiumi travolgerlo.

Se uno desse tutte le ricchezze della sua casa in cambio dell'amore, non ne avrebbe che disprezzo.
