Ten people i’d like to know better!

Tagged by @crimsonblackrose and @phoomwhoosh

last song: Broken Man by St. Vincent

favourite colour: Depends on my mood. Lately I've been going through a blue phase, but my favorites are purples, teals, and greens. Reds and burgundies are up there, too. Jewel tones and fall colors just in general are my preference - which means I hate every fucking thing in stores right now. Spring pastels and florals, my beloathed.

last book: I don't even remember. Every time I try to pick something up, I can't focus long enough to get very far. My brain is so scattered, I've been struggling to even get through the fics I want to read. I have so many tabs open.

last movie: I went and saw Black Bag the other day, which I enjoyed. Before that, I think it was Mickey 17. Also rewatched The Nice Guys over the weekend, after I realized I'd left it off my favorite movies list. Eternally bitter it never got a sequel.

last tv show: Currently watching Only Murders in the Building. Before that it was Ghosts - both the UK and US versions. And School Spirits before that, because apparently I was on a ghost kick. Thinking of starting Yellowjackets soon, or maybe Daredevil. Also excited for the second season of The Last of Us, and that Poker Face is finally coming back next month.

sweet/spicy/savoury: I like spicy, but a good balance of spicy and sweet is where its at.

last thing i googled: When Poker Face was coming back, lol. Before that, the hours of my nearest library.

current obsession: Not sure I really have one. While I enjoyed all of them, none of the shows I've watched have hooked me like CK did. Normally this time of year I would say basketball, but my college team was eliminated from March Madness last week, and the Spurs have been cooked since Wemby was shut down for the season, so... yeah. I got nothin'.

looking forward to: I have tickets to a few upcoming concerts (St. Vincent, Jack White, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), so I guess there's that. Also taking my mom to see the touring production of Chicago next month, so that should be fun.

The St. Vincent concert is this weekend, but I'm actually thinking of cancelling the trip. I dunno, part of me still wants to go, but I'm just so, so tired lately, and I really don't want to drive the 5:30 hours it takes to get there. I haven't even started to prepare or pack. I really hate that I live a minimum of 5-6 hours away from anything fun or interesting. So few artists I actually want to see ever come to my city.

Storytime about Why I Personally Like Jotaro's Character

I think it's safe to assume that 90% of us ocean man simps (and/or the 11k followers of the joot tag) had to have hated the guy in the beginning, only to watch p4 and say "hold on wait a minute I'm feeling sumn" and then go back to p3 and say "oh shit hold up".

'cause when i first started p3, i remember jotaro calling holly a bitch and that led to my first impression of him: "Oh so if jonathan was the gentleman jojo and joseph is the wacky jojo, this is the edgy jojo. I'm sure I won't like him at all with that attitude".

let me tell you... i hate assholes. antagonists. absolute douchebags. the too obnoxious men, and edgy men for the sake of being solely edgy.

and i kind of had the same feeling of him throughout the first few episodes, and then the more the plot went, the more I got to see bits of his subtle heart of gold personality come through and I thought to myself "no way but he's still an asshole, why am i beginning to not hate him at all?"

but I couldn't bring myself to hate the guy when in certain moments he brings up his dorky one-liners, the tiny curl that forms his seldom smiles, his general badassery. So at the very least I now respected the dude by the end of p3.

And then p4 happened.

Oh man. Did 4taro do something because damn, this version of him was what got me simping for the man.

Idk what happened but right at the beginning of ep 1, I see him in that taxi in his white fit and immediately, I disregarded the sudden art change and already vibed with the first scene of jotaro in that moment.

and i was greatly confused to say the least. I've been keenly aware of my tastes in fictional men and so far before joots, they were often very.....

let's just say... "young anime boy" visuals.

LISTEN. Don't ask why Kirito is here; I was still in middle school when he became my fictional crush eye-

anyways-

soon after, even if i was enjoying josuke and his friends in their slice of life shenanigans, i admittedly looked forward for scenes where joot would be in it, got excited when he does something cool and badass, and just appreciate him just vibing silently in the background, probably thinking a million things at once- the murderer, his thesis, the stand arrow, his job etc.

cue to the end, and I really like like jotaro at this point. As in the "holy shit... my new fictional mans?" like.

I was in denial. Because no- Just no??? How did this happen?

Was it because he grew out of his angsty rebellious teen phase, and into this now mature professional, Stand expert, and mentor who's learned how to not be excessively rude while still keeping true to himself as seen in his stoicism, intelligence, and badass nature?

and then to realize he was a DILF in p6?? And a divorced man??? And that he explicitly shows the audience his feelings towards his family for the first time???

Oh man. I was never too into dilfs... but-

So I rewatched p3 scenes again and there I was able to like 3taro as much as 4taro and 6taro. I grew to notice more of his very subtle character amidst the rebellious façade- using that big brain of his in fights, the way he has fun with the crusaders by doing party tricks, the more amount of smiles he does that i failed to notice at first watch, understanding why he shouts at certain women, the utmost care and love he has for his friends and family and how much he'll go through just to keep them safe.

I even grew to love the rugged, buff design of 3taro, which I now admit is kind of a favorite now along with 4taro.

Ultimately, I like jotaro because even though he gives off a very bad first impression, you get to watch his character go through a bunch of events throughout the parts, and see how other bits of his sides and personality surface, develop, and change the more he grows in experience and age.

Idk if it's just me, but I am a sucker for quality character development and jotaro shows exactly that- from being a rebellious delinquent who walled his vulnerabilities behind a rude mask, to a wise mentor-figure who knows better than to be impulsive and rash, to a caring father who'll sacrifice the universe and himself for his only child to live.

holy shit this was l o n g but I needed to get this out of my system because my god, I love this man sm.

and i know i have ranted about this before, but istg, the dudebros be literally seeing jotaro's personality as nothing but a man who's misogynistic and simply punches his enemies to a pulp to solve the issue, without realizng that he has to think of ways of getting closer to the enemy in the first place. Hence why yall shallow mfers think he's a bland protagonist with the emotions of a brick wall smh.

“to the feds-“ yeah his ass is being framed because there’s no fucking way someone would write that in their manifesto

given that luigi's (alleged?) manifesto says 'it really wasn't that difficult to assassinate a ceo', it would be extremely funny if the feds were trying to frame him
