being a cringe fail loserboy is a family trait

[purplecatghostposts]

Leosagi dating across dimensions except Raph, Mikey, and Donnie don’t believe he exists would be so funny because Leo tries to explain like “Yeah he’s a cute rabbit samurai from another universe! Well no, you can’t meet him yet, he’s currently in his own universe taking care of some stuff but— he’s gonna visit soon!” And they’re all like, “sure… your ‘boyfriend from another universe’… uh huh.”

Bonus points if Usagi DOES keep visiting regularly but due to a comedy of errors, Leo’s entire family keeps missing him and never actually meeting him and Leo screams his frustrations into the void because Donnie keeps making “Does he go to another school too?” Jokes and it drives him up the wall.

When they finally do meet him it’s while Leo is making a big speech to his family about how Usagi IS real and how great he is and that he’ll prove it one day because he’s important to Leo and he loves him. And once Leo has finished talking he notices his entire family is looking at something behind him and suddenly he hears, “Awe, you love me?” And Leo whips around and Usagi is standing in the entrance to the lair with a big goofy grin on his face like, “Hi. I’m Usagi, Leo’s Definitely Real Boyfriend.”

Hello????? This is actually being openly acknowledged so early on???? I know Dragona turns him down but still????

[incorrect-jojolands-quotes]

here's a little jojolands conspiracy

Jodio's father being forced to leave Hawaii is more intwined with Usagi but not in the way that you think. (I know I made a theory about Usagi being the owner of the parrot on the bus but this is something entirely different).

tl;dr: Usagi and Jodio's fathers were best buds. Jodio's father trying to help his friend led to the mess we know now.

Basically, Usagi and Jodio's fathers were childhood best friends. They were both raised in Hawaii with similar circumstances and had their own rag-tag group of friends; it was those two that were the closest however. After high school, both fathers had different ambitions: Usagi's father went into construction on O'ahu while Jodio's father moved to the mainland go to college. They kept letters, went on occasional trips together, and briefly lost contact before reconnecting just when Jodio's father decided to move the family back to O'ahu. There, he reconnected with Usagi's father and learns that both were hired by Howler for outsource construction and insurance administration respectively.

Howler tends to outsource a lot of their stuff as an infrastructure company, so Usagi and Jodio's fathers began working for them via their own companies. Both the construction and insurance companies want to have the best relationship with Howler as possible, and Jodio's father particularly was in charge of overseeing the insurance stuff for Howler and a couple of their partnerships (i.e. the bus company); that's how high up he was.

Like many infrastructure companies and businesses that require physically demanding work, Howler is no stranger to workplace injuries and the legal aspects of it. So, having to deal with OSHA violations, accidents, and potential deaths is often dealt with as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Part of why they outsource their construction work is to minimize their involvement in accidents that may occur and have the minutia of payouts and blame lie on the companies they hired instead. This is where Usagi's father's death comes in.

Usagi's father died tragically from being hit by a bus that coincidentally belonged to one of Howler's partnerships in the process of being merged into the corporation: a local Oahu bus company that coincidentally belongs to the bully that later attacks Dragona. Because this bus was also under Howler, they couldn't just have the contracted company deal with the mess and therefore used Jodio's father's insurance company to see how much they can get away with not paying out the Alohaoes. In other words, Howler wants to pay the minimum amount and possibly screw over the Aloahoes knowing they don't have the resources or emotional energy to fight over getting a low payout.

However, Jodio's father knew what they were planning to do to the Aloahoes and couldn't stand being complicit in screwing his late best friend's family. So, used his power to make sure the Alohaoes were paid every cent they deserved and basically "screwed" Howler with the insurance pay. (By screwed, they lost a few million and it took a bit of work from PR to have people forget it happened). This strained the relationship between his insurance company and Howler to the point where the latter threatened to break their contract with the former. Neither could do anything towards Jodio's father legally, who tried his best to "lie" about how he wasn't able to give them the lowball offer they wanted to give and he could use this as a blip in his near-perfect track record. To prevent the Alohaoes from being further involved, he cut contact with the family and made it so it was a random insurance agent that handled their payout. The plan to introduce his kids to Usagi as friends was also abandoned.

While this helped the Alohaoes greatly and he still oversaw Howler's insurance stuff, he starts being treated badly at work. The higher executives pressured his co-workers and team to give him the cold shoulder under false rumors that he was not the great employee or team-player he gives off. Jodio's father began missing out on promotions/raises, getting iced out from work activities, and he's sometimes forced to take on other workloads. This puts a further strain on his marriage, as Barbara Ann mentioned, but he refuses to tell her what had been going on; it was his thing to ensure his family from the cruelties of the world, which is sometimes interpreted as him being aloof and not as involved as a parent, and he was a workaholic to begin with due to ensuring his children get the best education they can.

When the bus experienced the arson attack, media and police claim the culprit is unknown. However, Dragona's bully wanted a final jab and, while hospitalized, claimed Dragona was the arsonist. There was clearly no evidence besides Dragona being coincidentally not there that day in school, and the police weren't inclined to take a bribe at the time, but Howler and the insurance company catches wind of this. Still bitter about what Jodio's father did, they worked with the bully's parents to come up with fabricated yet convincing evidence against his child. They threaten him to take the blame and pay 10x the claim (since it was a little more than the money he had Howler pay to the Alohaoes) or they would give the fake evidence to the police and have Dragona arrested. The insurance company, seeing that their top employee was in controversy and not wanting their business to lose more profit because of it, also forced him to resign.

Jodio's father knew his child would never do such a thing and that the evidence was all fake, but he accepted the resignation and the debt for Dragona's sake. Part of why he's not able to take the kids and Barbara Ann was them still holding onto that fake evidence and claiming they can always send it into the police if he fails to finish his payments or tries anything to take his children with him; in other words, the Joestars are almost like hostages in Hawaii. He also didn't want Dragona to feel guilty or that they were at fault for the mess.

So, that explains what Barbara Ann meant when she tried to explain to her children why their father had to leave yet the circumstances were absurd.

Two things to add:

What if the bus death was planned and Usagi and Jodio's fathers were punished for investigating the lava rock?

Does Usagi know about this? Will he ever know?

Anyways, what do y'all think?

auntie’s sister - Usagi’s parents theory

oh yeah, I remembered what I remembered a few days ago: why I think Auntie has a younger sister that's in the Miyamoto family line, instead of younger brother - because of the whole meaning of Yuichi as it is written, as a given name.

Yuichi Usagi is the first son in a while. Maybe even since Auntie's own grandfather?

So this ties back to the whole "What's in a name" theory post I made a while back, where I connected Senso and Samurai Rabbit.

Because Yuichi spelled as both 雄一 and ユウイチ - Yūichi - means “heroic first (son)” - maybe he was named that bc the family hasn't seen a son in a long time? So by that reasoning, it makes even more sense if Yuichi is more like a title or nickname in this case, but Usagi places it in the same way as he would a family name bc their family didn't have a name for a long time as farmers.

And so, going from that reason, maybe his family line tying him back to Miyamoto Usagi, must be maternal - his mother and grandmother at least, since Auntie mentions his great-grandfather - so for a few generations, the family didn’t have sons at all. Anyway, that’s just a theory I remembered now ^^

As an additional theory/headcanon, maybe even that they were overjoyed to have someone carry a family name but by that time, Neo Edo had changed so much that Miyamoto Usagi had already been branded a traitor in the city, without the family knowing about it. So what do they do? Perhaps they decided not associate with him as openly, to avoid scrutiny because it was hard to change public opinion - and after Usagi’s parents died, Auntie cut off ties from the city entirely. She passes on some of the stories about family history, and Yuichi sticks as a family name to Usagi because that’s the only other name he got.  imo, auntie seemed fairly in the dark about how much Neo Edo had changed while she was away from it, so it’s a possibility that the perception about Miyamoto Usagi changed during her lifetime, e.g. after the war she was in. But that’s backstory we don’t know exactly, so this is just headcanon and fanfic territory for now ^^ 

Anyway, that’s probably why I headcanon that auntie had a younger sister who’s the parent, because the Yuichi name seemed somehow to tie into this family history for me xD even tho the show itself is slightly vague about it (auntie just says “I promised your parents” it does leave this theory open as a possibility.

Thinking about the idea of accepting yourself through others

Having a self hatred to yourself that when you find an imperfection, you focus soley on that. You look at yourself in the mirror and you see only it, even if its not actually visible, even if its just a concept. You wish it wasnt there, that you were normal

But then someone you love has that same imperfection, they reveal it or maybe it was already seen but for some reason its the first time you've noticed it. Whether they're ashamed or not, whether they're shy about it, they've opened up and talked about it

And instead of being hateful towards this person for having the same imperfection as you, you welcome them with open arms, you accept them for who they are without a second thought

And then the next time you look in the mirror, you wonder why you were ever ashamed of something so normal in the first place

I have nooooo guesses about who your favorites or whatever are in Enstars but hey!!!! New fan!!!!! Please tell me who your faves are so far!!!!!! 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Haha, I'm glad you're interested, Anon! Like I said I'm very new to Enstars and haven't read through/watched/listened to everything but I'd be happy to tell you my fave stuff. And again, this is where everything stands as of now as I am new and am slowly making my way through the available content. Other than which unit is my top fave (and by association their characters and songs), there's always a possibility my tastes may change as I become more knowledgeable about what there is to offer but here's where my stuff stands as of now.

Fave Units

Other than the first unit, the rest are in no particular order. And this isn't necessarily just about songs (as for one unit in this list I only like two of their songs to date and for another as of now it's MAINLY how their voices that I like them despite also only liking a couple of their songs to date😅), it's a mix of music/characters/vibes.

Ryuseitai (There's a fucking tokusatsu themed idol group in this series and NO ONE wanted to tell me????? I grew up a Power Rangers girl, of COURSE I'd click with this squad, there's soooo much I enjoy about them from their music to their characters to their dynamics! And with each new story I read that have them involved, I grow more and more in love with these guys! Also you guys should've seen my expression when I learned Chiaki's VA Yuichi Jose also voiced Felix from 3H!)

Alkaloid (My face when I learned Gakuto Kajiwara voiced Hiiro: 🤯🤯🤯, another group where I really enjoy the characters and dynamics, plus they have some incredible vocals in their group!)

Crazy:B (I ADORE their vocals and I really like their characters as well! Also Rinne and Hiiro are brothers and you guys should know I adore sibling dynamics so that's definitely catching my eye!)

Ra*bits (Despite typically not caring for the overly cutesy themed groups, I don't know I ended up attached to these guys! There's something surprisingly endearing to me about their characters. This is the group I said earlier I only like two songs for as of now.)

Eden (Yuma Uchida, we meet again!!!! This is the group I was talking about before where I said it's their vocals I mainly like them for as of now)

Fave Characters

Other than the top two spots, there's no particular order as of now for the other characters I like so I'm just gonna list the top two and then group everyone else together.

Chiaki

Kanata, Midori, Tetora, and Shinobu

Yes, I know I'm cheating with that second spot but I really love all of Ryuseitai! While Chiaki is unquestionably my fave of Ryuseitai and of the Enstars cast as a whole, for the rest of them I haven't quite decided on an order. Kanata's charming, Midori's relatable, Tetora's energetic, and Shinobu's entertaining! Maybe Midori would be my second fave but like I said, it's not a given as of the moment.

Other characters I really like right now include: Hiiro, Tatsumi, Rinne, Kohaku, Niki, Jun, Subaru, Mao, Nazuna, Tomoya, Mitsuru, Adonis, and Eichi.

You know, while I'm here, let me expand at least a little bit more on why I love Chiaki so much in particular. I have said several times that I really adore genki guys, so Chiaki definitely clicked for me there. But as I read more about him and saw the different sides to him, I grew more and more in love with how he is as a character. He has so many interesting sides to him! That he was so sickly as a child. That while coming across as your typical dumb, energetic jock at first glance it's revealed he's a massive bookworm to the point of having reading glasses and was an honor student in school on top of being so athletic! That he's actually a lot more serious and insightful than you would think. That he used to be far more timid and all that before he became the Chiaki we meet in the present day. And so on and so forth, I really look forward to learning more about him!

Fave Songs

This list will be in no particular order since I don't really have any sort of ranking in mind. These are just all the songs I love as of now!

Rebellion Star (Very first Enstars song I ever heard YEARS ago. Fun fact I learned about Hokuto's VA change by randomly finding this song again and being soooo fucking confused why Hokuto sounded different than I remembered.)

Daydream x Reality (It's just really catchy, what can I say?)

Ryusei Hanabi (Probably the best song Ryuseitai has come out with to date, it's soooo damn catchy! I really enjoy festival style songs. This was actually the second Enstars song I ever heard years ago, and it's still as much of a bop now as it was when I first heard it.)

Suisei Halation (I love the older television theme song style sound to it, it's a very close second in Ryuseitai's discography for me.)

The Unrivaled Meteor Ranger (I really enjoy how their voices sound in this one!)

Nekketsu Ryusei Ninpoujou (Had no business being as much of an earworm as it is. And the MV for it is suuuuuuuuuper colorful and fun!)

Colors Arise (Another one that feels like a sentai theme song, the MV is also really damn cool!)

Meteor Scramble Ryuseitai (I adore the fact that they managed to put their names into the lyrics, it's really darn cute!)

Melty Kitchen (The way I originally thought this was too cutesy for me only for it to embed itself in my brain within a week!)

Fallin' Love It's Wonderland (Hands down my fave for Ra*bits, this song is catchy and cool and has an awesome MV. Mitsuru sounds so damn good in this song!)

You're Speculation (My feelings for this song were like a roller coaster the first few times I heard it, but I ended up really liking it in the end!)

Believe 4 Leaves (What a song! Mayoi's VA truly is one of the best of the cast, this song was love at first listen for me!)

Undying Holy Love (Yes, I know the full version isn't out yet but the little I heard from the MV is already spectacular! I love me some disco style songs!)

Psyche's Butterfly (I don't know, I just liked this one.)

Exceed (Holy fuck, I loved Jun's vocals in this song, his voice is really gorgeous!)

Deep Eclipse (I loved how their high notes sounded in this song although I will say I never watched the MV again after the first time because of the secondhand embarrassment from the hip/crotch shots...)

Stippling (Another one where I don't know, it's just really addicting to listen to!)

Crazy Roulette (I loved it from the very first time I heard it, it's catchy and the vocals are amazing. Plus the MV is so damn good, the characters have such good stage presence in it.)

Yubisaki no Ariadne (I love the somewhat softer feel this song has, I wanna hear more of this type of song from Crazy:B!)

Helter Spider (This and Crazy Roulette are fighting to the bitter end for my fave song from this unit's discography. The way everyone's voices sound in this song is top tier.)

Gekkou Kitan (I accidentally clicked on this song on YouTube and boy am I glad I did, it's such a banger!)

Fight for Judge (Another song I had heard several years ago that engraved itself in my head. I feel like Arashi's singing in this song is unique compared to the rest of Knights' songs and I don't know why.)

Silent Oath (This is the final song on the Enstars list that I already knew of ahead of time from listening to it years ago. This is another song that was a roller coaster that finally settled on me liking it.)

Artistic Partisan (What was the MV for this song so damn cool for??? Anyways, I really enjoyed how Valkyrie and Alkaloid sounded in this song, their voices worked well together!)

Moonlight Disco (I said I loved disco style songs and I meant it! This is such a good song, I am soooooo happy it's finally available in the English version of the game, it's such a fun one to play in the rhythm game!)

Date Plan A to Z (This is such a cute song and super duper catchy! Plus, starring some of the best vocals of the game in my opinion.)

Midnight Butlers (For the first week after I heard this song I would randomly start humming the chorus, it's really good!)

Majestic Magic (Fun fact, it took me four tries to full combo this song on NORMAL mode because I was vibing so hard to it. Embarrassing to admit, I know...)

Brand New Stars (The song itself is an absolute bop but you do NOT know how excited I was to learn that in the game everyone sings as themselves for this song, so you can come up with all sorts of combos, it's fantastic!)

Walk With Your Smile (It's a really sweet and gentle song, I enjoy it. Another one I was excited to learn everyone sings as themselves in the game.)

Rainbow Stairway (Another case of playing the song by accident on YouTube and ending up pleasantly surprised!)

Hamtaro Tottoko Uta (I will fight tooth and nail for this song's honor!!!! It has Ryuseitai! It has Ra*bits! It has fucking HAMTARO! Fuck everyone else, I will defend this song with my life!)

Aisle Be With You (This is me editing this post to add this song because I can’t BELIEVE I forgot to list this one!!!! It’s such a beautiful song and equally beautiful MV with gut wrenching lyrics!)

Transplanting the main characters I guess!

Take 2 characters from different shows and draw them in the other characters show

Bonus points if you change the art style to fit the show!
