hi hello sorry to bother you (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ but i've been meaning to watch jjba but i watched s1 a few years back nd didnt really like it :< so i was wondering if you have any advice
You’re not bothering me at all, darling! Thank you for asking me 💖 First off, hey, don’t worry if you didn’t/don’t end up liking it! Jojo is definitely … bizarre and not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s not an easy thing to recommend because Jojo will throw lots of things at you and you just gotta accept it real quick.
My advice is honestly, just bear with Part 1 (Phantom Blood with Jonathan and Dio). I firmly believe Jojo gets better with every successive part and Part 1 doesn’t do the best job of delivering at first (deadass I think you could skip the episodes after Jonathan meets Zeppeli towards the final few episodes and miss nothing). I think Part 1 is one of those things that gets better/more appreciated on later rewatches, but it can be a slog the first time around. So don’t worry, it’s kind of a usual feeling for many (I know it took me about my third try before I finally finished and it clicked). Part 1 was the first part and Araki was just getting started, things eventually pick up speed.
The subsequent parts in Jojo also follow a different pattern or style, so if you don’t necessarily enjoy one of them, you might enjoy another! Part 2 is definitely more of an action packed adventure, Part 3 is a monster of the week story across the world, part 4 is a murder mystery, part 5 is a mafia export mission, part 6 is Orange is the new black, etc etc. You probably get the picture.
I can’t really force you to enjoy Jojo, but I can just say that it gets way better and more creative as it goes along. Getting past the first one or two parts can feel like a slog but I believe it’s worth it. And if you feel like it’s not something you can enjoy, then by all means, don’t continue! It’s meant to be fun, not a chore 😊💖 I hope this could somewhat help??
#rambles#jojo#like listen I’m your number one jojo bootlicker I love this series to death#and I believe it is truly peak and one of the best things ever#but I also know it’s very bizarre#I think jojo is one of those ‘love it or hate it’ type of things#because it requires you to just Get Used To These Things super fast#like you’re supposed to take this Italian playboy with sun breathing energy bubbles seriously while he fights an Aztec god of wind#or a Japanese mangaka almost losing his life playing rock paper scissors#or a French guy living in a turtle#you just gotta accept that shit right away or you’re not having a good time#like this reminds me of that one tumblr post about the ‘bullet repelling oil’ like. yeah. they just say it and move on#and the balls on Araki amaze me

Hottest players of Euro 2024: Group A and B
1. Germany: Emre Can
Okay, bro looks like my next mistake. If he wasn't a footballer, he'd be a pop musician. And I don't mean your shitty American pop. He would be like Tarkan for the Germans.
2. Switzerland: Granit Xhaka
Okay, this one is obvious. I had to choose his earrings era photo, they really complimented his unemployed Balkan boy swag. He is my ex-boyfriend who stole my wifebeater and my golden chain from me. He listens to the most cringe rap imaginable. He drives a BMW. He will ruin your life.
3. Hungary: Dominik Szoboszlai
Another obvious choice. Look at his pouty lips, massive brown eyes and hairy legs. He is sexy and he knows it. He will thirst trap the camera whenever it focuses on him. He is a whore. He is a gay pornstar. It's a wonder he isn't banned by the Hungarian constitution.
4. Scotland: Kieran Tierney
I didn't really know who to choose. In all honesty, I know very little about this national team. But he seems neat.
5. Spain: Pedri
Sorry for being baaaaasic. To be honest, I don't really find Spain NT that attractive. If I have to choose one, it's gonna be Pedri. I love how flushed his cheeks become after playing for a while.
6. Italy: Giacomo Raspadori.
It was a difficult choice, because most of Italian players are insanely hot. But I let the Napoli fan within me win. Look at his golden eyes and Bambi eyelashes. He deserves a special mention here.
(alternative choices included Di Lorenzo, Meret, Scamacca, Calafiori, Fagioli and Pellegrini)
7. Croatia: Luka Modrić
I don't think I will surprise anyone here. Yes, I love Luka Modrić. I chose this pic of him to tell you what I'd love to do with him. It doesn’t do justice to the full scale of beauty, but we all know how Modrić looks like. Like an angel. Like an 80s mangaka's wet dream. Even as a grandpa with weird facial hair, he still has that flair to him.
8. Albania: Jasir Asani
Okay, I actually fell for him during qualifiers for one and one reason only. I won't lie to you. I mean, he is a pretty guy, but...
Size kink 😭

I also like how the 'Kabru isn't ambiguously brown you swine' crowd apparently uses room-surprise' theory on Kabru being some kind of South East Asian based on them deciding to go all anthropologist on character's name origins (which don't necessarily line up with where they're from with other Dunmeshi character's names being examples of that) and like one two low detail pictures from one of the art books of like some generic looking sweets that his birth mom used to make him.
Like, outside of stans treating bread crumbs like their gospel and getting in a tizzy about anyone who rightfully points out that Kabru is just ambiguously brown b/c if the mangaka wanted to she could have made shit explicit in the main story like she did with Toshiro and his party being mostly fantasy Japanese and Marcille being half fantasy Italian on her father's side.
Outside of that, I have room-surprise blocked for saying racist shit and defending colorist tropes so I'm even more disinclined to believe fuckers when they use room-surprise as their source.

Oh I forgot to ask a question!
😂
Ok, here it is: Who’s your inspirations for your artistry?
Big question, I know.
^__^
hmmmm you're right, that is a big question! since you asked "who" i'm going to assume you mean other artists?
for painting i'm particularly inspired by Anthony Cudahy, Alex Beck, Sterling Hundley, Ashley Wood (all contemporary,) Euan Uglow, Joaquin Sorolla, Sargent, Arkady Plastov, Ivan Shishkin, Konstantin Yuon, Ferenc Pinter, and a number of names in the Brandywine school like Mead Schaeffer and NC Wyeth.
i reformatted my brain a little in 2021 by reading Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man. Other mangaka are Hirohiko Araki, Kosuke Fujishima, Otomo, Inoue, Urasawa, Miura. the 2S artist Brandon Hoax is a HUGE inspiration to me. same for Chase Conley, Peter Chung, Freddy Carrasco, Xia Gordon, Ron Wimberly, Chris Kindred, Mel Tow, Hiro Isono, mozame_mo, Yoshitake Yamane, @maxbanshees @potogawaryuiki @coshkunz @cparrisartand @fourcorneredgod @newjackcole @choodraws @doctop @hirosemaryhello @nocturnalwalkr @fanficciera @oak-n @purenonsens @juangeedraws @plaest2k @blackblobyellowcone @turndecassette2 many more friends and strangers whose work i'm delighted to spend time traveling thru (and whose names i'll add in once i publish this enormous reply lol. rn i'm afraid of tumblr eating it!!)
most importantly, my partner Anka @kingfisher-cove charmed and captivated me from day one. the personality and dynamism of their work, specificity of place, time, body, personal effects, there's always been so much life in their art. i have little to no interest in stories/characters without limits, where mobility is never a concern, especially featuring the wealthy. stories where people don't sweat or pee or have "bad" teeth or talk too loud. Anka's always portrayed peeling paint and rusted metal as a fact of life. you get a sense of dimension/volume in their art— the way material hangs off a body, and that body's form, how gravity and weight conform feet to the ground— and the same goes for the personalities and ideas populating it. the viewer too has a home here beyond "representation." it's not just window-dressing, nor ponderous hyperrealism. there's cartoon whimsy and cartoon stakes. i wish i could describe the extent it's meaningful to me. i feel lucky to see it! plus i really making them yell and art is a good way of accomplishing it.
so because this is veering into WHAT inspires me...
other than like, transness and communism and everything that entails, i'm inspired heavily by pornography and leather culture, and (mostly vintage) magazines like Honcho and Juggs, 70s italian erotica/nunsploitation. relatedly, the lush scenes of Pierre et Gilles and Tarsem and Christian Riese Lassen. i'm also deeply inspired by hyperlink/multimedia art, such as that by Olia Lialina of @oneterabyteofkilobyteage or projects like Ted's Cave. places and delights of my childhood like Myst/Riven, Fin Fin, rural river water, rocky beaches, soft glowing glades, sharks in coral outcrops. autonomy and dissociation, too.
with a lot of the artists i mentioned, there is a handiness, a presence in their work, a dedication to indulgence and/or experimentation, in subject, setting, medium, whatever. an interest not feigned. i also love maximalist colour and texture... in drawings, in textiles, anything! worldwide and through history. i'm inspired by golden age illustration and Iranian turquoise and carpets. miniatures. iconography. lotuses. magnolia.
you can fake sincerity of course. when it comes to making art that seems like a waste of precious effort. when i get a sense that the artist really loves People beyond serving up a telephone game of vibe-mood-aesthetic... that is cool to me. if the art isn't well-lived, then it's well-cared for. a lot of the nostalgia fodder is based on a memory of a memory that was sold for mass market consumers, so i'm a bit distrusting of it. which isn't to say that i don't love a tone poem (i do-- Legend is one of my favourite films) nor that it requires "realism" to accomplish either. i love being sold on the ridiculous. i respond well to like, an artist (in whatever respect) showing me something absurd with 100% unbridled earnestness and fearlessness about being silly. my top 3 favourite series are JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Metal Gear Solid, and Ace Attorney. these are objectively as exaggerated in their drama as they are serious about their intent, and populated by straight freaks. one of my favourite directors is Michael Mann (Miami Vice, Manhunter, Heat, Thief, Collateral) who is known for his obsessive, even illustrative details but also, Audioslave plays during an emotional night drive. they don't let Audioslave play during an emotional night drive anymore. all these things are related lmao. let me go on a further tangent
there's an internal logic, right? and when it's flipped? that's the best. i don't mean a "twist," either. it's something else-- the author/artist revealing that, emotionally, things were always more complex than you were lead to believe, and it recontextualises the entire piece. if surprise is the best part of comedy then i think the same goes for melancholy. i love when the rug is pulled out from under me through something as simple as the reimagined N'doul episodes of the JJBA OVA. (YES! YES! I'LL TALK ABOUT IT FOREVER! I'M CRAZY! BUT I'M RIGHT!) is it a twist? nothing's actually changed about where the story is headed. you know where it's headed. but the meaning of that story has-- by creating an emotional trapdoor like that, it establishes a particular sense of suspense.
i'm mentioning these because i rewatched them recently-- films like Solaris and Sunshine and... you know what? Terminator are bigger to me than their subject matter because the emotional space they create is unnerving, where hope is fragile if it's present at all. something hard to accomplish... the bittersweet potency of ironic regret.
i'll keep adding to this. i could go on and on lol

OK I FINALLY HAVE MORE STUFF ON THE DANGANRONPA REIMAGINING.
I wanted it to be more diverse so I made most of the characters be from different places, based on which country is the best at their certain skill. So here are their new names, nationalities and ultimates (because I changed some of those too) in no particular order.
Allison (Ally) Andrews - American, ultimate swimmer
Bernhard Toman - German, ultimate businessman
Celestia Ludenberg (Chunhua Leng) - Chinese, ultimate gambler
Chunyu Fei - Chinese, Ultimate programmer
Hifumi Yamada - Japanese, Ultimate mangaka
Jovanni Endrigo - Italian, ultimate fashionista
Kiyotaka Ishimaru - Japanese, ultimate student council president
Katharina Keilholz - Swiss, ultimate detective
Liam Knowles - American, ultimate baseball player
Mason Navarro - French, ultimate lucky student
Marcello Oddono - Italian, ultimate motor cyclist
Shilin Ouyang - Chinese, ultimate martial artist
Sayaka Maizono - Japanese, ultimate idol
Yamar Hafez - Egyptian, ultimate fortune teller
Uhhh I'm not a danganronpa fan but I really like the concept so I thought I'd reimagine the game if it was written by me with my style of writing, character writing and character designing. I'll probably be making their designs and rewriting the actual characters soon but just bear with me cause it might take a while. Thanks!

Well, I think the situation around the perception of iranian history and greek history in fandom is quite similar.
Let's be honest, for most people there is only Ancient Greece (by which they mean the history of the classical greek city-states + hellenistic period + roman period, we are not particularly touching on the dark ages and bronze age Mycenaean Greece, not to mention earlier times), which they - following the manga/anime canon - separate from modern Greece. And there is modern Greece, which, in general, began its independent existence in the first half of the nineteenth century, when a small piece of territory in the southern Balkans gained independence and was called “Hellas”. At best, they have ottoman rule as a kind of “preparatory period” when the canonical Iraklis grew up, did not understand anything and did not really decide anything. And at the same time, modern Greece is the son of Ancient Greece, who loves to be nostalgic about his cool mother, who did something great there more than two thousand years ago. Cool, yeah.
Likewise, for most people there is "ancient Persia" (before the conquest of the Islamic Caliphate in the 7th and 8th centuries AD) and "modern Iran", which they count from the Islamization of the Iranian plateau. In the manga canon, we have a character called "Persia", who people unthinkingly identify with the Achaemenid state, the Parthian Arsacid state, and the Sassanid state. In fanon, he (“Persia”) actively interacts (at war) with Rome, interacts with China and India in much rarer cases, and the mangaka also mentioned that he has descendants, one of which is “modern” Iran, yes. And, of course, there is an incredible amount of time devoted to the Achaemenid period (but not the greco-persian Wars, which shocked me when researching the fandom). Cool, yeah.
But you know what's surprising? None of this makes any sense.
If we take Greece... no, we take greek culture, we will understand that it has continuously developed, without gaps, from the time of the classical polis until the present moment, BUT, if you really want to find a watershed, then this is late antiquity. Why? Because in late antiquity, the pagan hellenes, living in their separate city-states as citizens, became christian rhomeans, subjects of the vast Eastern Roman Empire (which in fact is still perceived as a Republic). The roman "imperial" identity replaced the greek polis identity - although the greek language still dominated in the East, especially after the Avar conquest of the Balkans, when the Empire lost the latin-speaking provinces. The perception of “hellenic” identity was very complex, it experienced a revival, especially in the 13th century, when the roman/latin identity began to be associated with the germans/italians/franks, enemies of the Eastern Empire, but this is if we are talking about intellectuals - the people considered themselves rhomeans. And guess what? The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 did not change anything! There was no break or fracture! The Church of Constantinople continued to be the guardian of this identity even in the absence of christian imperial power! And the people who started the Greek Revolution in the 19th century did not strive to create a small national state, no, in their eyes ALL of Anatolia and the Balkans were the historical lands of the Eastern Roman Empire, which they considered their country. The fascination with ancient pagan Greece is something that was brought from the West, which despised “Byzantium”.
And if you look at Iran, the real boundary between "ancient" and "modern" history is the conquest of Alexander the Great. Because - this will amaze many - but until the second half of the 19th century in Iran itself they knew nothing about the ancient history of the country! The first historical event preserved in chronicles and art, say, the "Shahnameh" of Ferdowsi, is the conquest of Alexander, which has nothing to do with the real one (I will only say that Alexander is considered a descendant of the iranian royal dynasty there). In Iran, they knew almost nothing about the greco-persian wars, about the Seleucids, about the parthian Arsacids and the roman-parthian wars! The real history in Iranian perception began only with the Sassanids, who were at enmity with “Rum” - but, first of all, not with Western, decrepit Rome, but with Eastern Rome! It was “Byzantium” that was “Rome” for the Iranians and for the entire Middle East until the 19th century, while the Western “latins” were the “franks”. Moreover, I want to note that the complete forgetting of the history of the country before Alexander in Iran began even under the Sassanids - largely because ancient persian was a cuneiform language, and cuneiform was forgotten (as for the iranian epic, its oldest part is eastern iranian in origin, western iranian, persian, it becomes only from the time of Ardashir the First). But the arab conquest and adoption of islam did not have such consequences! And when the revival of iranian culture and the new persian language began in the 9th-10th centuries A.D., it was a revival, albeit rethought, of Sassanian identity.
In short, while it makes sense to separate Ancient Greece from "Byzantium", it makes no sense to separate "Byzantium" from modern Greece. And the history of modern Iran begins with the Sassanids, not Islamization.

About Dungeon Meshi race and ethnicity coding…if you're interested I think this post covers the whole Kabru being coded as Indian thing pretty well (https://room-surprise.tumblr.com/post/741160292590960640/evidence-that-kabru-from-delicious-in-dungeon-is)
Besides him, the other Asian-coded characters are mostly Japanese as far as I know. Those are very obvious. Like, the physical appearance looks like an average Japanese person, the clothing is Japanese, the building, the culture, there are even times where one character has his name messed up and is seen as "exotic." There's even a joke about how a character is in love with a white character, and the manga shows other characters thinking about their marriage like the family's painting style changing from the old Japanese style to the typical European style lol
I've seen people comment on the fact that Holm is Jewish coded too. Izutsumi is apparently Asian but not Japanese since her Japanese name is not her birth name, her mother wears clothes that are not typical of Japan and her relationship with the clearly Japanese characters is really complicated (I saw her being more theorized as Mongolian, especially because of the clothes her mother wears). White characters are easy to perceive as white and the theorizing around them is more based on their nationality (for example Marcille being theorized as Italian)
And then there are the ambiguous characters that I don't really know if were supposed to be coded, like Cithis, Thistle, Kaka and Kiki (2 are elves. Elves in the manga mainly represents colonizing thinking). I really don't know about these...they're not white but I don't know what they are
Tbh, I didn't plan on getting into it, but I appreciate the effort you put behind the explanation! Really, as long as characters that are meant to be coded as Black (if any) are well drawn (and the brown skinned people have as much effort as the lighter skinned in their art), it checks my list off. I've heard nothing but good things about the story (at least, as much canon as Tumblr will deliver, fanon ignored) and the mangaka sounds like she loves it and is thoughtful. So. I just hope that extends to browner folk.

Guess who just rewatched for the millionth time Kyou kara ore wa!! ?
Yes it was me, I’m simply obsessed with it (especially with the Italian dubbing), and especially with Nakano, I love him and his Italian voice (in the last two episodes 😂)
For this illustration I tried to mix my style with both the one from the manga and anime to give it a more ‘90s look and I really like the result 🖤
Also Due come noi (the Italian title) is one of my all time favourite manga of all times I really love it and I’m so grateful for the mangaka Nishimori Hiroyuki sensei for having created it and other manga too I really love his humor, so I wanted to tribute it and my love for it with this illustration with the main cast 🖤✨
(P.s.the words are based on what was written on the Italian cover for the dvd box…😂)

about damara, but again, look at WHO is calling her a "racist caricature" and WHY. I dont think the people that do that even know what that means, because the only people ive seen call her that are americans or at kates podcasts and when you look at what they think is "good representation" they create shit like the validate game where a french-korean woman gets called colonized pussy and also nicknames herself "the colonizer and the colonized" because of her mixed heritage, or they draw damara as a tree jumping ninja, or they insult japanese artists for drawing the hs characters in an anime style.
and once again i want americans to answer this: do they think that when an anime/manga has a character speaking broken english its an offensive racist caricature, or they recognize that the mangaka might not speak english, acknowledge it as the joke that it is and not take it that seriously? because damara has way more in common with those characters than any racial caricature they are thinking of.
did they expect akira toriyama to learn fluent italian so that piccolo could start speaking it fluently because his name means small in italian? or english because apparently some people think piccolo is "black coded"? and im not defending hussie here either, fuck him, im asking how can anyone be expected to accurately portray damara, an alien troll parodying weaboos that has never lived in actual japan, as "japanese coded" if theyre required to learn an entirely new language to fluency for fanwork thats not even monetized?
instead of repeating and fighting over the same problem over and over again, why not offer a solution. i just want to hear what japanese fans think is bad about damara (her quirk, her design, her personality, its their call) and we could have a discussion of what could be done to better portray her as a parody of weaboos or simply just so that no artist nor writer is harassed anymore for simply wanting to do fanworks for her or simply liking her character.
so here is a starting point of the discussion on the long shot that there is a japanese fan reading this, but anyone is welcome to join: i actually think damaras attitude of a vulgar foul mouthed delinquent high school girl is supposed to be reminiscent of sukeban, in that shes a rebel outcast that takes no shit and smokes cigarettes. and that she wears a hairbun and speaks google japanese because hussie based her on tinkerbell, who has the same hairstyle and spoke in bell sounds that could only be understood by peter pan (ie. rufioh, pupa pan) and was very jealous of his romance with wendy (horuss?). if one problem in this concept is the google translate japanese, would it be better if that was changed to morse code instead or something else? why or why not?
