#jojo fashion... just kind of does that

[speckyposting]

So, like... where'd you get that outfit? Doesn't seem like the kinda thing you just buy... Someone make it for you or you make it yourself, or...? Just curious.

Specchio took a moment to look down at himself, pinching the fringe of his shawl between thumb and forefinger as if to inspect what he was wearing. He supposed that it was rather... gaudy to some - hopefully not extremely so. Wasn't like it had some obnoxious floral pattern or sequins.

"Uhm... I mean, there's just some fancy shops that Passione likes to frequent, I guess," he mumbled, having not quite considered how... different the taste in fashion was in the mafia. Not like he cared much about clothes, anyways.

"I got some of these tailored to keep my tattoo showing, but it's otherwise pretty normal clothing, I think. Probably the most expensive my taste gets," Specchio now shrugs. "I think most of the guys just buy their stuff as-is, too. With some minor alterations here and there to fit their size, y'know? Though Fugo just opts not to wear the undershirt that's supposed to come with his stuff. Leaves it breathable, or whatever excuse he wants to use..."

He looked down, regarding his outfit again.

"Is this-- I don't know, is this not just normal clothing? It's not casual by any means, but..." he trails off. Seems he was putting much more thought into this, walking off as the gears started to turn.

[k-liight]

some random Mojo Jojo headcanons because I've been brainrotting over him so much lately

he's very well-groomed and takes good care of his hygiene- probably uses the fanciest fucking shampoo to make his fur nice and soft, keeps his hands moisturized (the gloves prevent him from getting them dirty), hell maybe he even uses those face masks with the cucumbers over his eyes and everything LOL

at the same time though he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty if it means his work comes out better- sometimes if he's working on something in minute detail he'll take the gloves off so he gets things more precise

he'll never admit this but he enjoys dressing up and donning disguises whenever the situation calls for it. he's a fashionable monke

sometimes he has to be forced to have fun because he's usually so focused on his work that he feels he doesn't have enough time to let loose. he can be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud sometimes even if he denies it

at the same time though being evil kinda is his idea of fun which like... yes but also no. he gets so stressed out by constantly trying to keep up with the Puffs somebody help him-

on a related note, he's a good dancer but it's not exactly something he brags about often

and if he lets himself, he will kill it at karaoke

his passion is so strong that he never half-asses anything he does, he always puts his heart and soul into it even if he doesn't really want to do the thing LOL he always has to flex at every opportunity

he isn't aware of his tendency to repeat himself/paraphrase the same thing he just said- he is, however, fully aware of the fact that he overexplains everything and, as shown in Mo'Linguish, considers such speech more proper and eloquent than simple sentences where one could more easily be misunderstood or misheard

he actually is a good chef and skilled at the hibachi- he just doesn't make the kind of food that children typically enjoy (hence why the Puffs didn't care for the fish and shrimp he cooked for them LOL)

I like to think that, because he got to be the way he is due to the same Chemical X-plosion (haha) that created the Puffs, he can occasionally gain some of their same powers- most notably flight- but he can't control it as it only happens when he really loses his temper and flies into a fit of rage. this would explain how he suddenly appears able to fly and punch the shit outta a giant alien robot in Forced Kin lmao

however, he's already stronger than he looks even without any sudden effects of Chemical X; he can easily lift things that are more than even his own weight

personally I like to think he's more built than the cartoon lets on- he's not insanely ripped of course but like, I feel his legs would be a bit thicker than they're drawn to be (I know he's meant to have an exaggerated top-heavy design but shush) and if you squeezed his arm you'd feel some pretty solid muscles under all that fur. this monke is fit

this is something else he'll never admit but he loooooooves being complimented. tell him how good he is at his villainy and mans is just glowing

he enjoys classical music but he also likes oldies crooners (think Frank Sinatra or Harry Belafonte) and early rock n' roll from the 50s. he's not entirely sure why he enjoys the likes of Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry but he just does

he likes to take things apart just to see how they work. he's a naturally curious chimp, okay?

despite his villainous nature, Mojo Jojo is, if you can believe it, a gentleman at heart- if you get on his good side and treat him with basic respect he will repay you and then some

Shallan and her stand 『PATTERN』 for my JJBA!SA au ;3; Tag for this on my blog here | tip jar/requests here Design notes below!

First, Pattern, a canon design so baller we spun it off Unchanged! Forreal though, his suit is designed after a wool runway suit I saw, I just made it look folded from paper instead. Also the model was in tights but I spared you from looking at Pattern's salad fingers-ass feet and legs. I don't really think the spinning pattern cryptic head is 100% fitting in JJBA's character design styles, but I think there's precedent for shapeshifting so why not!

Shallan, being Lighteyed, gets a far more modern/pop-y/cute design than Kaladin did (his being more utilitarian). I was thinking about how Jolyne, Foo Fighters, and some of the other jojo women look, notably things like exposed midriff, painted lips, and overalls. I know Early Canon shallan is a lot more modest and reserved, So maybe in TWOK-era she has her straps up and her sleeves pulled down over her fingertips on her safehand ok, but maybe during WOR and onwards she slips a bit lol. She's got big clunky boots on under the pant legs but the pant legs are big floor dragging bell bottoms. I LOVE the Y2K-ish lightweaver symbol I put on her shirt (it looks like a heart or a butterfly so. added heart and butterfly), and echoed it on the pants. The model I was looking at just had buttons on the shirt, but I switched it to frog clasps to look a little more Vorin fashion-y. For her body itself, I always draw shallan with twin buns and still a lot of hair left to go, thinking kinda along the lines of Disney's Merida or something with copious amounts of hair, though less curly. I also decided to give it some color depth to it and go more auburn to ginger versus scarlet or full ginger. Lastly I based her general appearance off the Korean model Jung Ho Yeon, who has also modeled with red hair sometimes! Very Shallan to me!

I'm thinking the setting is going to fall on a Roshar that's in a vaguely turn of the millennium (on earth) situation. Most of the tech is still fabrial based, but it's all kinda like what you'd see in the late 90s or something. Maybe closer to the 70s/80s actually since I don't think they quite have computers as commonplace. Navani gets one. Shallan does have a Mobile Spanreed, which is kind of like an ipad but with a magnadoodle-type board (or boogie board) for a screen and a ring with up to 10 paired other Mobile Spanreeds that you can communicate with. It's very modern and very convenient. No need for paper! And you can have them paired with many other boards! Shallan likes to draw on hers when she's not actively communicating with people, of course.

I'm getting ahead of myself. Shallan is struck by part of the Arrow by Kabsal, who was planning on recruiting her into his organization before he died. He tells them as much on his deathbed. She manifests Pattern as part of that, and identifying her as a Stand User, Jasnah and Ivory take her under their tutelage, not knowing that Shallan was actually able to use Pattern since she was a child.

Jojolands 13: Ohana Means I'll Set Your Ass on Fire

Dragona dropping some great truth about the absurd in this bizarre adventure. We finally got a peak behind that mask. I love it and I hate it, if you've read the chapter already you know what I mean. We'll get to that, because this right here isn't spoilery and it was such a cool nugget.

I love the way Dragona talks about the "absurd." Chance moments that alter one's life for better or for worse. The things that just don't make sense. Especially paired with Dragona opining about nearly losing their heart in the same chapter that last part about hearts being destroyed hits hard. I'm definitely sure we're looking at a trans narrative here and one we'll see play out. The chapter does a good job of implying what we need to know. Nudges at an early theory you've been changing your body with Smooth Operator. We ready? What follows is no place for beginners or sensitive hearts:

Oh HELL yes! As if I needed a reason, these two were well on their way to top Jojo status and now the dynamic duo of the Joestar Siblings are definitely there. Mean girl sets her sights on a much more timid Dragona who we now know looked way more masculine at 14 than 18. Talking physical build and not just fashion. You know, I don't expect an 18yo to have all that figured out and with this I do think we'll see her keep coming into her own. But holy shit that was fucked up and I sincerely hope we can get through the rest of this with no more sexual assault on my Jojos blorbo.

If they do...Jodio will fuck you up. Set a whole damn bus on fire! And while I'm not looking forward to having to relive the impetus in the inevitable anime adaptation, since we've already had the cop I kinda like the perpetrator being a girl here. For one because it shows a side of this kind of bigotry that often goes underrepresented. You see a little more space made typically for trans men who had bad experiences with men prior to coming out, largely because it tends to overlap with those who found a comfortable half-step in something like a radical feminist group. But this sets up Dragona pretty well for a realistic other side of the coin to that. Your experiences with bullying might make you a little skittish of girls your age, you keep a foot in this criminal world even if we keep showing you (not unlike Okiku) as someone who doesn't fit super well, all this would certainly explain why you'd gravitate towards a figure like Meryl Mei. Why there's great potential for drama if she shows a nastier side. It's all great for a trans story that justifies still figuring yourself out through it...but sticks to a fairly realistic path for a lot of young women who find themselves running with gangs.

All that said, Jodio you absolute freak. Burning the whole bus is metal, it's scruffy, he's protecting family. Doooooope. These two are fantastic and I can't wait to explore their story, their dynamic more. Jodio & Dragona's sibling bond is the beating heart of this part. As much as I love Kiku/Izo & Killua/Alluka yeah this is gonna be a banger. Speaking of, this chapter was also the second time we nudged at Jodio getting shit for looking fey too. These two are ride or die for each other and their awesome mom Barbara Ann. How this all ties into their family falling apart and their desire to become filthy rich? No need to ask...

In lighter news. They. When Meryl learns of the other lava rock that got smashed. We're all clear on who's the brains and who's the firepower in the dynamic duo right? I trust Meryl as far as I can throw her and she's a big lady. But for now everything seems on the up-and-up. Charmingman seems to have passed the sniff test and yeah it looks like he's just going to hang around. I like this new setup. Scouting a shadowy company to see if we can get more lava rock.

All in all one of the best chapters of Jojolands so far. I'm loving it, this is the exact direction I hoped it'd go. The backstory made this pretty heavy and I hope we can have more fun with this gang on the new excursion.

[esha-isboogara]

what your favorite jojo character says about you !

these are my takes on what kind of person you are based on your fave ;)

jonathan- you’re way too good for this world and i will protect you with my life!! you always choose the “nice” option when you’re playing an rpg/otome. i bet you cry during movies. you’re a dog person but you’re not annoying about it.

speedwagon- you’re either the kind of person that has a waifu unironicly or you’re too afraid to disagree with other peoples opinions. you were for sure bullied in school for liking anime and never really recovered .

joseph- you think you’re the funniest person in the room but in reality have the sense of humor of a middle school boy and everyone thinks you’re annoying. you have no idea how to act in public

ceaser- you most definitely get bitches.

jotaro- you’re either too horny for your own good or youre the kind of person who automatically chooses the most basic mc because it’s the safest. you probably never outgrew your emo phase and i guarantee you read lots of hardcore smut in middle school.

kakyoin- you use the word milfs way too much. it’s actually kind of annoying. please shut up. on the other hand you know how to dress!! for some reason every single kak stan knows their way around fashion. your probably an avid markiplier enjoyer.

avdol- you had a crush on zuko in middle school and i bet you carry a lighter everywhere. you don’t smoke or anything you just carry it to carry it. you’re like super mature for some reason and you are the brains of the friend group most likely.

polnareff- you’re a bit dense but we love you anyways. you have zero clue how to express your emotions. please stop letting people trauma dump on you :( you don’t deserve it babe

iggy- shut THE FUCK up

josuke- you are the coolest person on earth. you have no flaws. you are a god.

okuyasu- you’re the dumb friend. i’m sorry to tell you like this but someone had to. you make up for your lack of brain cells with your big heart <3 i bet you know lots of random facts about uselessness things as well.

rohan- you’re the biggest bitch i have ever met/pos. you definitely had a devianart phase that you only outgrew because you got bullied or met some scary ass people on there. you’re kind of a weirdo but that’s what gives you your spice.

koichi- you act innocent and kind but you’re a bitch too/ also pos. i bet your AO3 history is full of insane amount of hard smut or hurt/bo comfort.

giorno-you’re either a dope ass person who’s actually super genuine and everyone wants to be your friend. OR you’re a super annoying anime fan who says shit like “but can he beat goku though”.

mista- you’re a stoner. i have not met a single fan of this man who does not smoke. you either smoke before every little thing you do and mention it to every single person on this planet. or you’re down low about it and just kind of go about your life.

narancia- you are still a child. you didn’t really mature correctly and i bet it’s because of some traumatic event that happened during childhood that forced you to grow up. please go to therapy i will be your therapist. also liking sharp things and setting things on fire is not a personality trait.

fugo- you’re a red flag but in a good way(?)you always try to see the best in people even when it’s clear they are the worst person on earth. you definitely have anger issues because you suppress your feelings until they explode out of you. you give really good hugs i think.

abbacchio- you either want a big titty goth gf or are the big titty goth gf. you never left your emo phase and you definitely had a behavior problem in high school. please stop dying your hair every month it’s going to fall out soon.

bruno- you’re most DEFINITELY the mom of the friend group. everyone comes to you with their issues but you’re too afraid to put your issues on someone else because you don’t want to burden them with your feelings.

jolyne- you are most DEFINITELY lgbqt emphasis on the L. you most definitely have issues with one or both of your parents.

hermes- COME OUT OF THE CLOSER PLS!!! we all already know you like girls just admit it we are going to love and accept you no matter what.

foo fighters-autism

Momina's hair gets easily messy, and it's why she has a tendency to run her hands through her hair a lot. She will pull and stroke her bangs without thinking.

In fact, Momina is someone who can appear rather sloppy despite her fashion sense. She can't seem to get her bows or ribbons straight. She pulls on her sleeves, and her shoelaces tend to get untied. She is also a messy eater despite also being very motherly/nurturing. It can paint a conflicting image.

Kyoko is someone who takes it upon herself to adjust Momina's appearance. She sees her brother in Momina, and it initially leads to her to Momina. Although her eventually adoring Momina is also because of who she actually is.

Another who ends up fixing Momina's appearance is Hayato. Unlike Kyoko, he doesn't ask permission and kind of just does it while scolding her. "How'd you even get the bow like that?!" Momina, who can be petty, will sometimes go: "Sorry, dad...!" Which only angers and embarrasses Hayato. It especially annoys him because Momina never reacts like that when Kyoko does this. She simply thanks her and gives her a big hug. [I wonder why the difference in treatment...!? Clearly a mystery...!]

Jojo and I like thinking that Haru ends up in the same high school as everyone else, and so she ends up picking up this habit with Momina as well. Hayato and Haru fuss over her the most, with Haru going as far to wipe and dab at Momina's face for her. It embarrasses Momina but because she knows she means well she doesn't really say anything. [However she does tell Miruku later over the phone. Sobbing, "these two girls at the Cafe snickered at me after Haru did that!!!"]

Parentified and infantilized at the same time... truthfully, this is one of the reasons Momina's favourite person is Miruku. Miruku understands Momina's health issues but doesn't infantilize her. Always listens to her and is understanding of her anxiety and [over]protectiveness as well.

I've gone on tangents but wanted to speak on why Momina's hair tends to have messy strands strewn about or her ribbons are loose and angled funny. If I could draw shoes properly her shoelaces' bow would be verticle!!

Liquid fashioning Snake’s sneaking suit with his own flare.

I really enjoy Liquid as a character. I haven’t played all the games in the franchise quite yet but I’ve finished MGS1.

Here are some headcanons for if Liquid lived through Foxdie or wasn’t targeted by it in the first place:

-He honestly really reminds me of Dio Brando (another fictional fave of mine) so I think he’d have a similar relationship as Dio did with Jonathan. A burning hatred accompanied some level of respect. Maybe Liquid, after being defeated by Snake, would have some respect for him but still bicker and have a corny little rivalry. 

-Honestly, I think he’d share a lot of personality traits with Dio! Just very… not intimidating.

-Since we’re still on the topic of JOJO, I imagined him having hair closer to REO Speedwagon? Like in my head I was like “yeah Liquid has slightly wavy/curly hair” and then I looked up reference images for this drawing and i sharted a little. His hair is so FLAT. I think there should be an appropriate middle-ground where his hair is still straight but has waaayyy more volume similarly to his little PS1 model.

-Liquid seems like the type to hold grudges so I don’t think there’s going to be much forgiving besides tolerance.

-It’d be really comical if Liquid accompanied Snake and Otacon and they’re just dragging around this man-child who keeps complaining and bragging. 

-I intentionally avoided giving Liquid any of the gear that Snake has on his suit. I think Liquid would purposely try to out-do Snake at every turn, thus going into missions naked so he can brag when things go well. 

-However when things don’t go well, I think he’d be like the average Overwatch player and just blame his teammates or bad luck. I feel like he’s the kind of guy to make REALLY shitty decisions in fights just for the sake of looking/feeling cool and then getting his ass beat. 

-And then after a whooping he comes back down to earth and actually does something useful 💀 (or Snake saves him)

-I know the sneaking suit has the shirt for a reason but, bro had his tits out on shadow moses, he can withstand the cold.

-I gave him grey hairs and a few more wrinkles than he initially appeared with to account for his aging.

-I can kindaaaa see him applying black eyeliner to his waterline. I also added really long eyelashes since I think he’d slay mascara too !

-I don’t think he and Otacon would get along at all initially. My thought is that Otacon tries to introduce him to anime or Japanese media as a whole to try to find something they can both enjoy. Personally, I really see Otacon being into your typical high school or magical girl anime and Liquid would be super-turned off from it. So instead they’d watch like Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, AKIRA, etc. Stuff that might be appealing to some random guy.

-It’s kinda hard to speak on anything relating to Snake cuzzzz uhhhh y’know I haven’t actually played most of the games– I’m particularly referring to the one where Liquid is a kid! (WHICH im really tempted to play rn in the middle of MGS2 since I REALLY wanna see Lil Liquid). That would give a lot more context ‘cuz I’m currently learning about everything relating to the other games via fanart and discussion posts here on Tumblr 💀

-Idk maybe they can bond on shared trauma man i got no clue

-Raiden? Uh? Okay say he’s [Liquid] involved in MGS2 (or at least the start of it since I haven’t gotten very far in): I feel like Raiden would be really annoyed by Liquid. Just a crazy dumbass making things more stressful than they already are. 

-I didn’t really draw it here but I think Liquid would have downturned eyes while Snake would have upturned eyes. Idk like if I could show the facial structure in my head, Liquid’s sitting face would be really miserable looking. Snake’s would be resting furrowed and seem more intimidating.

-Don’t know much about Solidus and Liquid (for some reason the only interactions I see between them in fanart is either them being shipped together or Liquid about to violently assault the old fuck) but do you know that image of Spiderman getting dunked on by Venom??? Ok so I think that’s them 😭 As soon as Liquid knows there’s an even better clone out there he’d just have a fuckin’ temper tantrum like Muscle Man from Regular Show and make it his mission to dunk on that old man.

-I think Liquid would CONSTANTLY smell like fuckin’ sweat despite literally being shirtless 24/7

-If Liquid were in the modern day he’d smell like 72 gallons of axe body spray

-On nice occasions he would smell like 72 gallons of cologne 

-He’d be a gym bro for sure

-Carrying around protein shakes, talking about gains, and crying about how his stocks are plummeting 

-His hair is definitely a little greasy

-I honestly think he’d have trouble growing facial hair in comparison to the other clones

-I feel like he’s the kinda guy to sit in a corner of a dark room and stare at Otacon to scare the ever-loving shit out of him. 

-Also seems like the kind of guy to have trouble sleeping at night so he just roams like a FNAF animatronic. 

-Seems like the kind of guy to ask Otacon what he’s doing out of boredom and then immediately regret it and space out.

-Ok so I had a thought. I think instead of smoking like Snake and Big Boss do, I think Liquid would drink.

-Y’know the room you find Otacon in MGS1? Where you fight funny ninja robo man? Ok so I think Liquid specifically asked for Otacon to be put into there so that everytime he switches to the security cameras in that room he just laughs at his goofy ass.

-Seems like the type of guy to ask “can i put on your glasses?” and then proceed to act like he just got shot by a firing squad from how blind you are (he does this to Otacon for sure)

-I’d think that Liquid’s ego is so inflated that he’d lack bitchess due to the “I’m too good for them” mentality 

-Upon seeing Ocelot I’d like to think that Liquid would bitch-slap him.

-Seems like the kind of fella to enjoy a meal consisting of dinosaur chicken nuggets, crinkle-cut fries, and mac n’ cheese.

Alright that’s enough headcanons goo-bye.

[uraniumnm333]

bouta hit you w the polysho fantasy AU that i will try to turn into a fic.

okay so first of all, i would like to let everyone know that i have been listening to classical, or in some way medieval/classical coded songs including Cendrillon, Servant of Evil, and Karakuri Peirrot (clowns) so this shit gonna go hard as fuck and ALSO TSUKASA TENMA

anyways. btw tsukasa's story is kind of based off servant of evil so

tsukasa and saki live together in the castle and are used as a sort of puppet for a shadow gov't. tsukasa believes that he and saki aren't related but saki knows. so the plot is to use saki as a sort of scapegoat to collect more resources from the people and eventually dispose of her when they don't need her by posing a rebellion. tsukasa overhears them plotting this the night before and tries to evacuate saki. he does this (yippee !!!) but the advisors (which are the people coming up w the plot) catch on. they present him as the one who was actually raising all the taxes, clearing saki's name but dirtying his in the process. also he learns they were siblings. in some sort of pirates of the caribean fashion, he escapes the day of his execution. i'm talkin bro JUST avoids that axe and sword fights some people.

so tsukasa gets the hell out of york. and bro has some major trauma at this point yknow. he's trying to hide out and figure out what the hell he's supposed to do next, because he's by all accounts supposed to be dead, and WHERE THE FUCK IS SAKI ??? and. bro accidentally summons mystical being Hatsune Miku. i have this in my mind as he's hiding out in the bushes, and bro is just. so done. he's camping out for the night and he's at like the breaking point. and he goes through the couple of things he still has (which is really not much) and breaks out a little heart shaped locket he has. and it's a picture of him and saki and he's looking at it and it HURTS because he misses her !!! and as soon as he learns that they're siblings ans that's his fucking sister she gets !!! taken away from him !!! and tsukasa just breaks down. just sobs man. and he's curled up and sad and he feels this tap on his shoulder and it's just "this is the end. someone found me i'm going to die." and he's about ready to because everything he lived for has been taken away from him !! and he looks over hsi shoulder and it's not a guard it's Hatsune fucking Miku, who is a god because why wouldn't she be.

n miku like. leaves him w wxs miku like "here's your guardian angel or shit ykyk. anyways gotta blast your god's favorite BYE !!!" and now he sees that along w his little heart locket of saki he now has a star shaped locket and when he opens it he can summon wxs miku. like she's a jojo stand. so he's still traveling and trying to stay undercover and bro kind of looks like shit. but he also knows he needs food because HOO BOY he's hungry. so he does the normal thing and starts going through people's trash bins. and he gets to The House That Probably Gives Out Full Sized Candy Bars (or the fantasy equivalent of that) and starts going through the trash and who walks out to see him but emu ! and she drags him inside and the ootori household is like "why the hell is this dirty stinky man who looks like he just crawled out of hell sitting at our dinner table ???" but they listen to him and he tells them that he's an experienced adventurer [lie] and he's out adventuring [lie]. and so they let him get cleaned up, he realizes his hair has grown out a bit, and they send emu along w him when he leaves. like. he's about to walk out of the door and say his thank yous before emu just starts dragging him along in the silliest way possible.

so emu and tsukasa hit the road !! yippee !! tsukasa's like spending the whole time a lil scared like "WHAT IF SOMEONE FINDS ME" and emu is just havin a good time. it turns out emu is a quirked up wizard girl and sends little letters to her family. and eventually she asks tsukasa about the locket n he shows her miku. yippee !! they also make money by running errands for other people. so they're runnin around the world and tsukasa is still trying to find saki AND stay as far away from people as possible. i'm talkin bro barely talks to the people he's workin w emu does all that shit.

so THEN they find this old ass tower and emu's like "let's sleep here tsukasa :D :D :D" and tsukasa's like "i would rather FUCKING DIE but okay. whatever." so they go in and spring like five different traps at once because those two are talented in being silly. and YOULL NEVER GUESS WHO rui comes out to investigate the two clowns he caught. and he's like "who the hell are you." as any normal person would question.

but of course he cannot resist the sillies and he's like "okay you can stay." and he shows them around and i'm taklin bro has the kookiest room imaginable got that clock hallway gears everywhere n shit you know how it is. and he tells them that he's an alchemist + cool mechanic guy. and emu is just falling in LOVE with his little robots. honestly who wouldn't i think they would be cute

and of course rui, magic man extraordinaire, senses the power of Hatsune Miku comin from the locket and he's like "lemme see that locket" and BAZOINGA !!! HATSUNE MIKU !!!

and while emu didn't know miku bc she was kind of like. a local thing. rui recognizes her IMMEDIATELY it's like if you were idk atheist or smth and Allah just appeared from your friend's neat rock he found. idk man i'm trying to draw a comparison. but the thing is while emu knows that there's some prince who's supposed to be dead from the country over, rui doesn't know that because he's a shut in. so they're both kind of missing information n neither of them can come to the conclusion that tsukasa is wanted for misuse of power tax fraud and tyranny. so rui's trying to figure out miku and emu's just happy she has friends and tsukasa is just havin a good time. they have a little sleepover thing in rui's room because normal.

rui being the first person either of them have really connected with in a while, they all hang out for a while longer have some fun you know. and then nene comes back !!! basically nene is a shapeshifter who usually shapeshifts into shadows because yeah. neato. and she also will go out for a while to make some money by selling rui's stuff. and she hears stuff and at this point word has really gotten around that people are looking for tsukasa !! there's a bounty on bro's head !!!

so she comes inside n only sees rui and he's about to tell her about tsukasa and emu but then she tells him first that theres a dangerous guy running around who is wanted !! and not in the good way !! and rui connects the dots and goes into Thinking Mode. and as soon as nene finishes this who comes into the room but Mr. FUCKING WAR CRIME HIMSELF !!!

so so rui emu and nene are all validly concerned about this and tsukasa's like "okay. listen to this. miku get over her" and tells them all about saki and evil shadow gov and almost dying and how he needs to keep looking for her. and miku clearly knows this but she does it in the silliest way bc tsukasa's over here sobbing his eyes out about his possibly dead sister and she's like "yeah !!! and THEN he almost died !!! isn't that wild !?!?!"

and yknow eventually they come around n clear his name or whatever and do some crazy theatre production. idk man ive been writing this forever eeby deeby yaba daba doo

JoJolion Ch. 77-82

This is the "Doctor Wu and Awaking III Leaves" arc. I just want to say that Awaking III Leaves has gotta be one of the dumbest Stand designs in this arc. It looks like the lampshade from the leg lamp in "A Christmas Story". Like Araki watched that movie and saw the leg lamp, and thought the shade was the most interesting part of it. Which does sound like him, I have to admit...

So last time there was another Stand Battle at the Higashikata orchard, and Jobin set the orchard on fire in a desperate gambit to pit his enemies against each other while he swiped the Locacaca branch. This seemed clever in the moment, but in the opening pages of the very next chapter, Rai Mamezuku immediately suspects Jobin of starting the fire. Josuke doesn't catch on, but Rai could tell just from how the Higashikatas each reacted as he explained to them who he was and what just happened. I could talk about what a keen observer Rai is, but in this case it's not very hard to piece this together.

Rai knows it wasn't Josuke, because Rai was with him in the bunker when it started.

Rai knows it wasn't Norisuke, because he's the one who asked Rai to help Josuke locate and secure the branch.

Rai knows it wasn't Poor Tom or his allies, because his plan was to eliminate everyone with his remote Stand ability. He only came to the orchard in response to the fire.

Rai knows it wasn't Hato, Joshuu, or Daiya, because they're all idiots who don't know what's been going on.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure Rai doesn't even know about Jobin's past dealings with the Rock Humans, which make him look even more suspicious. He just saw Jobin trying to keep Tsurugi calm every time Rai spoke about the Locacaca branch, and it seemed obvious to him.

On the other hand, Josuke is more concerned with the people in the ambulance who took the branch. What Josuke doesn't know is that it was the wrong branch. Tsurugi used his Stand to pull a switcheroo for Jobin. The people in the ambulance realized it was a fake as soon as they left Tsurugi's area of effect, but Josuke still believes the next move is to track down that ambulance.

Now at this point, you might be wondering: What happened to Mitsuba? Or you might even be asking: Who the hell is Mitsuba? Well, she's Jobin's wife and Tsurugi's mother. She appeared very briefly in the scene where Josuke met the Higashikata family for the first time, but she hasn't said or done anything since... until now. That's right, Mitsuba Higashikata finally makes her move in the Great Game, and... oh, she's just going to the doctor.

Okay, so I think it's pretty clear that her physician, Dr. Wu Tomoki, is a bad guy. His ridiculous hair, his two ID badges that say DoC ToR on them in obnoxiously huge letters. He looks like a standard JoJo villain with an outlandish fashion sense, but he had to rein it in because of the hospital's rigid dress code.

Mitsuba's purpose in this story seems to be to illustrate just how the Rock Humans can use the Locacaca to exploit carbon-based humans. Damo's smuggler ring was just selling the fruit to wealthy buyers, but Ryo Shimosato spoke of grander plans than this. He and Poor Tom are dead, but their colleague, Dr. Wu, shows us some of what they had in mind. Mitsuba's been receiving Locacaca treatments for a while now. First she had her breasts cosmetically enhanced, but her teeth turned to rocks and she started drooling all the time. That's why she never said anything or showed her face in her previous appearances. Later, she had her teeth restored to normal, but now her right ear is "like a rock", and she can't hear out of it. So she's come right back to Dr. Wu for treatment, never suspecting that she's been getting the same treatment over and over, with different results. And she's been paying handsomely each time.

Dr. Wu agrees to treat her yet again, for 200 million yen. That comes out to 1.2 million US dollars, just to give you an idea. See, that's the kind of grift that the Four Doctors can pull. Damo's smuggler group was a one-and-done thing. His customers were probably told up front that this would heal one body part in exchange for another. That's why the major league pitcher didn't care about losing his jaw as long as his shoulder recovered. But he never would have gone back for a second purchase, for fear of losing his pitching arm.

But Dr. Wu can string his patients along indefinitely. He just never tells them what the treatment is or how it works, or that it causes a new ailment in an unrelated part of the body. And they keep coming back to him because he did such a good job on them the last time. And this all works because everyone trusts him as a doctor to be concerned for their welfare.

Anyway, as it turns out, Yasuho is here at the hospital too, because of menstrual pains. I guess that's just a coincidence, although you can't rule out Paisley Park unconsciously directing her towards the plot. There was an old rule from Part 3 or 4 about how Stand Users are fated to come into contact with other Stand Users, but Yasuho's specific Stand Ability only seems to intensify that principle. So she's there to notice Jobin's wife being rolled through the halls in a wheelchair, and her legs and feet appear to have been turned to stone.

About this time, Josuke calls Yasuho asking her to help him track down the ambulance. Yasuho tells him about Mitsuba, and he warns her that the enemy is probably in the hospital, so she should probably clear out of there until he can link up with her. But Yasuho's curiosity gets the better of her, and she does have those menstrual pains to deal with, so I guess she's not in a big hurry to leave. She tracks down security cam footage of the ambulance and gets a look at the guy who stepped out to pick up the branch. And she quickly recognizes him as the doctor who was pushing Mitsuba's wheelchair.

Yasuho follows them into the examination room, but only finds Mistuba, alone, with no sign of Dr. Wu or the wheelchair. Also, Mitsuba's legs are fine now. Less fine is Mitsuba's state of mind, as she seems to have some sort of memory problems. It's like she doesn't remember why she came here, or that she was even in a wheelchair a minute ago.

Yasuho finally locates the wheelchair in a desk drawer. See, this is one of those bullshit JoJo visuals where something weird happened but there's no plausible explanation for it. A Stand User could dismantle a wheelchair in a few seconds and hide all the pieces in a desk drawer. But once we see the specific Stands we're dealing with, it doesn't make much sense at all. As for Dr. Wu, he's apparently hiding inside Mitsuba's body, which is why she's acting so weird and doing all his strange habits, like chugging an entire 2-liter bottle of water and eating what looks like a phonographic record.

Yasuho quickly recognizes this Stand power as similar to the one the hair clip used against her when she was a child. I'm not sure how accurate the comparison is, since we know so little about the hair clip and its powers. Just to cut to the chase, Dr. Wu's Stand, named... uh... "Doctor Wu"... allows him to turn his body into tiny fragments of himself. It's kind of like Stone Free but with dust instead of string.

That's how he got inside Mitsuba's body, although it's unclear whether this is why she's acting so strangely. Is he controlling her like a puppet, or is this some sort of weird side-effect of his mere presence inside her body. His Stand profile image said that he could interact with the brains of the people he inhabits to make them do certain things, but I don't know what the extent of that is.

The main problem with this arc is that it's Yasuho and Mitsuba teaming up, but Yasuho keeps asking Mitsuba what's going on, and Mitsuba either doesn't know or won't answer. To her credit, Yasuho knows enough about the Locacaca and Dr. Wu to make an educated guess, but Mitsuba seems oblivious to everything.

Actually, maybe that's by design. I never understood what happened to Mitsuba's legs in this story. The Locacaca exchange is unpredictable, but this means Wu had to give her two doses in one visit. Maybe more than two, but for some reason he decided to move her to a different room while waiting for her legs to get back to normal.

But it occurs to me that this might be standard procedure for Wu. He has to keep the Locacaca treatment a secret from his patients in order to keep stringing them along, and he can't send her home with no legs. That would be too conspicuous. So he probably has to run through multiple doses of Locacaca until he settles on an equivalent exchange that works for him. But that would arouse the patients' suspicions, so he uses his Stand power to inhabit their bodies during the process. This allows him to suppress their memories of the treatment. Yasuho just happened to walk in on the final stage of the process.

Now, while Yasuho tries to make sense of all of this, some Dr. Wu fragments get inside her body and attack her. I'm not quite sure how they attack her, but she knows she has to remove them before they can kill her. So she summons Paisley Park, who somehow interfaces with the MRI equipment and locates the foreign material in Yasuho's head.

I'm not entirely sure how any of this works, but the X-Ray view of Yasuho's skull through Paisley Park's hand is one of my favorite visuals in this Part. Also cool is the way PP smashes open a storage cabinet of syringes and pulls off the needle sheath with her mouth. Normally Paisley Park doesn't seem to have a mouth, but she's got one here and it's this cute li'l line on her face. Paisley Park rules.

Then she just stabs the needle into Yasuho's eye (!) and fishes out the offending object. That... seems like it would hurt like hell. Also, this fragment looks like it's made of rock, so I don't see how you could spear it with a metal needle. But it's out, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

At last, Dr. Wu reveals himself more properly, and he offers to spare Yasuho but insists on finishing his business with Mitsuba.

His plan is to inhabit Mitsuba's body like he was doing before, then use her to infiltrate the Higashikata property. There, he can find out more about her son Tsurugi, and find out what he knows about the Locacaca branch that Poor Tom tried to steal.

Fortunately, the girls manage to escape Dr. Wu with Mitsuba's own Stand, Awaking III Leaves. She can place arrows and direct force in that direction. They take shelter in an elevator car and Mitsuba uses her power to purge the Dr. Wu fragments out of her body.

Unfortunately, this also includes the petrified fetus in her body. Mitsuba recently learned she was pregnant, and it sure seems like the last round of Locacaca treatment restored her entire body, but at the cost of her unborn child.

Then Wu catches up to them. The thing is, his ability allows him to blow in through any ventilation in any room, so I'm not sure it's possible to just go some place else. He repeats his intentions to use Mitsuba's body, but he also insists that he's the good guy in all of this, because the Locacaca's secrets are for the public good. Therefore, any action he takes to study them is justified, and anyone who opposes his agenda must be evil. As for the fetus, he considers this inconsequential, because it was only in the 14th week of gestation.

Mitsuba repels him again with her Stand, and then they start taping down his body with medical tape. At first I couldn't understand what good this was supposed to do, but then it became clear that the fragments stuck to the tape couldn't get loose, and they wadded them all up into a ball to trap his head.

I think that's Dr. Wu's main weakness. He can do a lot of damage to a person's body as a cloud of dust, but he doesn't have much physical strength in this form. He can't whip himself up into a sandstorm, for example. So if you can get enough adhesive on him, you could...

... Throw him out the window, for one thing. This doesn't actually work, as we'll see, but it does keep him occupied for a bit.

As they leave the elevator, Yasuho runs into an old acquaintance, Toru. They used to date in high school, and now he works part time at the hospital. Looks like he just moves laundry around or something. Yasuho asks him to find Josuke in the lobby and tell him to find her on the third floor. He agrees, but makes some crack about how wet she got when they had sex or something. Yasuho's like "What the fuck, man?" Seriously, it's like Josuke is the only man in this town with any chill at all. And he's a weirdo who sleeps under mattresses, so what does that tell you?

The girls discover the secret room where the Locacaca plants are being kept, and there's some sort of instructional video Dr. Wu made to explain how they should be used for treatment. The main point of the video is that there's no way to predict which part of the body the fruit will attack as part of the equivalent exchange. It always heals an afflicted body part, so that seems reasonably easy to control. For example, with cosmetic surgery applications, like Mitsuba's boob job, they just have to make some incisions or some other damage to the area they want to work on, and that's enough to direct the Locacaca effect to that part of the body, as long as nothing else is wrong.

The problem is that there's always a strong chance that the Locacaca will attack the brain. I mean, there's other vital organs, but maybe those are spared because you literally end up worse off without them, so the exchange wouldn't be equivalent. With the brain you can lose certain chunks and still be alive, I guess. Anyway, that risk would make the Locacaca too dangerous to use, but Dr. Wu promises he has a technique to keep the drug away from the brain during the process. That technique, however, is just his own Stand, which only he can use.

So there's Locacaca fruits here, and it's up to Mitsuba to decide if she wants to use one to try to restore her unborn baby. Oh, if you're wondering how she got it back inside her, her Stand can do that. The point is that without Dr. Wu to assist, there's no guarentee of how her body will be affected by this next dose. But Mitsuba chooses to take her chances. Unfortunately, Dr. Wu is here to "assist", because he managed to get back in the hospital through the water supply, and onto the Locacaca fruit through the irrigation system in this lab. So Mitsuba gets possessed again, and Yasuho is stuck fighting both of their Stands now.

Also of note, Wu's research shows that the Locacaca doesn't work on diseases caused by pathogens like viruses and bacteria. There's some samples of infectious diseases in the lab, and Wu tries to shove Yasuho into them to make her sick, but he also tells her that it was Holly Kira who made this lab. Wu says she "failed" in her research of the Locacaca, which makes it sound like she must have been working with the Four Doctors, and perhaps her present condition may be the result of some botched experiment with the Locacaca.

But Yasuho manages to use more tape to redirect Mitsuba's arrows, which turns the tables on Dr. Wu. She expels Wu from Mitsuba's body, but then Wu does... something to the Locacaca fruits, like he's trying to spray them with the juice or something and... do what exactly? Yasuho's healthy, so would the Locacaca even have any effect on her?

But before things can get too bad, Josuke steps into the room and captures all of Wu's fragments with soap bubbles. Yasuho breathlessly warns Josuke about Wu's powers, but Josuke's already dealt with it.

That's because Josuke had medicinal cement in his bubbles when he fired them. Basically, it's the same idea as the medical tape Yasuho used in the elevator, except this time Wu is soaking in it, and the stuff hardens so he can't escape. I'm pretty sure that suffocates the bastard to death, but the point is that he's been defeated for good.

My only question is: How did Josuke know to do this? Yasuho's phone had been destroyed earlier in this arc, so she couldn't contact Josuke and tell him about Wu's Stand. Toru passed along Yasuho's message, and maybe the mess in the elevator might have given them a clue, but that's about it. Maybe Paisley Park contacted him without Yasuho knowing.

As for Mitsuba, her unborn child is restored, and it looks like the Locacaca took in exchange... her nose, which is a small price to pay considering what else it might have done to her. And this is probably suitable for her character arc, since her troubles started when she came in for a boob job, and then she worried about her mouth, and then she came back today because she was worried her son might notice her bad ear and start asking questions. Mitsuba's been obsessed with her good looks, and now she's stuck with this stone nose because another dose of Locacaca might be dangerous to herself or the baby. But she seems to be at peace with it, so she's learned her lesson.

Overall, this is one of those arcs where I had trouble keeping up with the action. I still enjoy it because it features Yasuho, and the chase through the hospital is fun, but I think I'll enjoy it a lot more when the anime version gets made. Well, assuming an anime version does get made. Hopefully, that anime version won't have all these unseemly upskirt shots of Yasuho. I don't know what got into Araki during this one, but it's like he wanted to draw Yasuho's underwear and this was the arc where he got it out of his system. It's not great.

Elmer, Crutchie, and the twins for the character ask game?

Thank for the ask, Emmy!

one aspect about them I love

Elmer: I love that despite being in the news business he isn't aware of how deep political corruption runs. Lot of ways you can interpret that, gives him a few more shades to his character

Crutchie: How realistically he's portrayed. He's not ashamed of his disability, but he gets frustrated and sick of it sometimes. He gets to be happy, sad, angry, desperate. He's not a Tiny Tim trope, he's his own unique character

Mike: I like the implication he's a bit absent-minded (such as picking up Ike's hat during Carrying The Banner, or not noticing Les approach him during Seize The Day (and then getting pushed aside))

Ike: I love his fully stripy outfit, it's as Silly as Henry's all-brown plaid ensemble. I love when the newsies' fashion quirks are obvious

one aspect I wish more people understood about them

Elmer: Elmer is both a Funny Guy and kind of a Nerd. His trading card says he makes jokes and plays the spoons, he likes entertaining his friends! And he might not know much about politics or be a good seller, but he is good at maths and helps his friends with their finances

Crutchie: He is not just an optimistic little ray of sunshine! Yes he is overall very nice and friendly, but he's a realist. He gets sad, he gets angry, he even threatens the scabs with physical violence! As I believe I said in a previous one of these ask games: he is a ray of sunshine, but remember the sun can burn

Mike & Ike: Twins are not the same person and they most likely have quite different personalities and interests

one (or more) headcanon(s) I have about this character

Elmer: He saves up to buy treats from the local bakery once a fortnight. The owner does her best to make Polish desserts for him

Crutchie: He's a huge sports fan. He loves playing stickball and other street games, and whilst he can't go to professional games he always reads about them in the paper

Mike: He's great at telling stories. He tells some of the other younger boys bedtime stories, although sometimes he gets a bit too excitable

Ike: He's absolutely terrified of dogs. Some days he won't even go out to sell if a dog's too close to the lodging house door

one character I love seeing them interact with

Elmer: JoJo! They're best friends :]

Crutchie: Race, tbh. They have a very interesting dynamic with Race frequently making jabs at Crutchie (but clearly still liking him), it's quite a contrast from his and Jack's overly positive friendship

Mike & Ike: Basically anyone, because they don't get to be onstage much-

one character I wish they would interact with/interact with more

Elmer: Henry! They interact a bit but I think they should interact more

Crutchie: Either Davey or Katherine. I feel like there's implications he and Davey have interacted, but we don't really get to see it, and we all know I have Thoughts when it comes to Kath and Crutchie-

Mike & Ike: Again, pretty much anyone-

one (or more) headcanon(s) I have that involve them and one other character

Elmer: He and Spot meet up twice a week on the Brooklyn Bridge to catch up and talk about life

Crutchie: On the times he needs help getting about, he and Albert turn it into a game. Sometimes Crutchie's a brave knight on his valiant steed, other days he's a princess being rescued by the brave knight

Mike: His best friend aside from Ike is Splasher. Ike won't go near water but Mike loves it, he and Splasher go swimming in the river together a lot

Ike: If Mike isn't available, he likes to be with Davey. They don't even need to talk, they enjoy each other's silent company

🌼 Hear me out: ATEEZ x JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure 🌞

Golden Wind/Vento Aureo is like my favorite part in the main timeline next to Stone Ocean and it’s the perfect combination of wacky for an ateez story 😭 mafia/weird magic shit/adventure au it has everything along with fashion on top of that.

(this totally wasn’t spurred on by the fact that when i first seen seonghwa i thought he looked like bruno 🌝)

gold experience i feel is a perfect stand for hongjoong just based off of who he is as a person. like i don’t know, out of all the main jojo’s stands, either crazy diamond or gold experience is a fit for him.

sticky fingers is weird just like seonghwa so there’s a match 😭 like give seonghwa that stand and you have ateez’s new bane of their existence honestly.

originally it was going to be stone ocean because of their outlaw concept pictures with the green backgrounds (omfg they’re so good bro, that entire album had fire concept photos) and because they’re outlaws, why wouldn’t a jail au be perfect for that, but then i remembered part 5 and NEEDED my bruno/seonghwa dreams to come true.

as for their lil backstories, they’ll probably be different from the actual gw characters’ backstories but they lowkey don’t really matter if i’m being honest 💀

hongjoong’s getting his ✨fashion degree baby✨ in the beautiful naples, italy and works as a scamming taxi driver at the airport because he’s gotta hustle to pay them bills since his parents don’t support his dreams 😒 and ends up screwing with the wrong person and meets the 🫶🏻 park seonghwa 🫶🏻 who hears him out about his disdain for the mafia dealing drugs to kids (or maybe just in general) and how he wants to stop that. seonghwa agrees and says ‘yeah bby just kill that capo in jail after passing the test to join and we got our ticket in’ and the story goes from there.

the fic simultaneously doesn’t take itself seriously sometimes and does at the same time, just like jojo. it’ll be all fun and games at the start where they think it’s smooth sailing but then the boss rolls up and shit goes down hill and it gets serious. but i’ve enjoyed writing the first chapter. it’s different from what i’m used to solely because jojo is kind of hard to translate outside of itself.

i love ateez. i love jojo. mix em together and you have 🤲🏻 my everything. i need to share it with the yall or it’ll be living in my head rent free 24/7

so…i’ll see you when i post the next two 👋🏻🥹 thanks for reading my rambling bby, i appreciate you.

[sparkedblaze]

Random modern AU thoughts I have that no one asked for

@noxexistant you sent that ask just as I started this, but I feel like you won't get mad at me for finishing this first

Morris tweets solely from his computer. There's no punctuation or capitalization. It's all stream of consciousness.

Oscar tweets solely from his phone, and everything is punctuated only with periods. No commas or anything, when he's finished a thought, he puts a period and moves on.

Morris has broken so many crayons, Oscar has gotten him the big jumbo ones, and eventually gets him a little art tablet.

Racer thinks he can outrace anyone at Mario Kart, but he's honestly mediocre, his friends just suck. So when he does races with fans, he gets his ass handed to him.

Skittery is a ghost hunter. They don't do anything once they find one, they're just looking for a thrill

Graves usually goes along with them, to make sure the dead is being respected, and because he's the one who is gonna put in the work to do the research and try to find out who is haunting the place and why

Blink doesn't get his nickname from his disability (though he is half blind). He gets it from the way a camera shutter 'blinks', which led to the name of his business/page 'Blink Photography'

Davey is very open about his mental illnesses. He talks about living life with autism and anxiety. How difficult it was with both him and Les (who is def AuDHD), especially with how tight money was for a long time.

Crutchie posts daily vlogs. This wholesome ray of sunshine is immediately taken up by the general public (much like AKB), and his entire audience can and will fistfight you over him. Do not talk bad about Charlie Morris-Larkin you will have not only his brothers to deal with, but also millions of fans who are absolutely feral

Henry starts off as a cooking channel. He gets so excited to try new things, and even more so when a fan suggests it. He'll ask about their favorite place to get it, or if there's anywhere good to buy it at all, or if he should just get together with someone to make it instead. He always invites said-fan to come and do the video with him and get to see him try it live and in person. There's very little he doesn't like.

Henry will bring in people from the culture (i.e. probably having someone from Elmer’s family if they’re trying pierogis, or Miss Medda if they’re trying something like gumbo (Medda Larkin is from the south and you can fight me on that), or they’ll call in Itey if they’re making an Italian dish) to kind of make sure he's not an idiot? They help explain where the dish comes from and what usually goes into it (Henry obv does research himself beforehand, but google def lies sometimes)

HENRY ALSO DABBLES IN FASHION. (HE'S THE ONLY NEWSIE WHO DOESN'T HAVE SEVEN THOUSAND COLORS ON HIM. ALL HIS CLOTHES ARE ROUGHLY THE SAME COLOR YOU CAN FIGHT ME)

Itey's channel is called Earning Your Laurels and they use yt to help people learn the Italian language, and about the Italian culture. Just kinda rambles during videos. Everyone thinks it’s cute as fuck. Especially Snitch. They share the yt channel, and Snitch uses the time to practice his Italian. Is very bad at it for a long time, pretends to still be bad for a while (but practices in secret to surprise Itey), and makes Itey cry on camera when he tells them this super big, heartfelt confession when he tells them he loves them for the first time. They leave it in the video so everyone can see. The fans go absolutely nuts over it.

Jojo's channel is called JojoPlaysShit only because he couldn't think of anything when he first started, but now he's too attached to the name

Les and Mush have competing souvenir collections. It's an actual competition. There are rules.

Les can beat almost anyone in the group at their favorite games. He's just naturally talented.

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I MOMENTARILY RAMBLE ABOUT MIKE THIS IS MY FAVORITE IDEA IN THE ENTIRE AU Y'ALL

His channel is Dropping the Mike:

Bob Ross style tutorials Except he’s pretty fucking terrible at everything he tries. He’ll do painting tutorials, sewing tutorials, cross stitch, knitting, crocheting, etc etc etc The only thing he learns before doing the tutorials is the basics. Like literally 'how to knit'. He doesn't look up patterns or anything, just how to get it started. It’s actually a motivation channel. To let people know it’s okay to not be perfect at everything. They’re allowed to just do things for fun. He tries paper mache and is surprisingly good at it. And just stares at his creation in utter fucking shock and is like ‘how tf did I do this???’ and his fans expect him to keep doing paper mache but he never does it on camera again.  Or at least that’s the plan before a lot of them are like ‘why don’t you do it anymore? Why can’t we see this thing you’re good at?’ and Mike tries to explain that it kind of goes against the whole point of his channel and that he’s perfectly fine being bad at everything the public gets to see. The comment section of that video explodes with demands to see more.

Romeo's is also one of my favorites, please hold

Let’s Start a Fight: A conspiracy channel. Will connect anything to anything else. Also has a series that’s essentially a game show to pit his friends’ relationships against each other to see who has the most solid relationships. The thing is, the questions are entirely arbitrary and have nothing to do with the actual partnership. Some examples: Is Pluto a planet? Is a hotdog a sandwich? Which direction is toilet paper supposed to face? Is cereal a soup? Do you eat or drink soup? There’s at least one fistfight every episode. Only a few of them were staged.  The winner isn’t determined by points or anything.  The winner is the last couple standing. The last couple not arguing. Probably gets a tv or yt deal to make it an actual show.

I wanna turn it into an actual thing but I don't know enough people. So if anyone wants to help me make this a reality I will love you forever

[1eos]

jjba-brain is a disease and should be put into the dsm. a couple years ago i saw a post being like 'yeah the series does kinda romanticize a nazi a bit but like you can skip that arc so it's okay' like? like your problematic shit, who cares, but to defend or even PROMOTE that series? get help. or learn to keep your silence.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA@@@@@@!!!!!! i really don't get why like. ppl who want all their media to not be problematic engage with jjba anyways bc there's not enough hoops in the WORLD to jump thru to act like it's that morally upstanding kind of content 😭😭😭😭😭😭 bitches will be like yeah triggers for every chapter bc they blow up every brown person in the manga and there's hella sexism and a man tries to marry a literal baby and they violently castrate the canon gay character and the one black character is named sharkweefa and eats watermelon for 20 chapters but um araki gave us a slightly non binary character this is representation. A SEEK HELP. and most ppl just passively dislike/know jjba is fashionable problematic dog shit so what is even the point of trying to act like araki gives a fuck 😂😭😭😭😭 just read your pictures damn! you worried abt representation in a jojo when you need to be worried abt being represented by your SENATOR

Bruno Buccellati is a very bizarre man, one built on contradictions. He’s a kind soul capable of horrible things, and at a glance, difficult to discern. He’s calm and collected, has an odd sense of humor, finds joy in incredible violence and in serving his community; he has bloodied hands and a tender heart that aches for the injustices good, innocent people face.

The man is the poster child of the “friendly neighborhood mafioso” archetype. Looking after his community, offering aid to those down on their luck, giving a home to the people society has left behind. He cherishes what he’s built, and he’s not above doing whatever it takes to keep his city free from scum. No matter what.

The end sometimes justifies the means. The world comes in shades of gray.

And that’s the way it’ll always be. The world doesn’t care if struggles with himself, with the realization that the organization he joined, when he was just a child, an entity he believed was taking justice in its own hands- has now turned to poisoning the people he vowed to protect.

But Buccellati has a plan, always does.

SOMETHING YOUR MUSE STRUGGLES WITH:

Love

Carrying the world on his shoulders.

Curiosity. It makes him nosy.

YOUR MUSE'S GREATEST STRENGTH:

Kindness, he will always be there for those who need him most.

Leadership

Determination

HISTORY/BACKGROUND:

Paolo and Bianca Buccellati had a young family by the coast. Paolo was a fisherman and Bianca would watch over their son, Bruno- She’d read him bedtime stories, introduce him to poetry and fashion magazines— which ended up being some of the boy’s favorites; but even so Bruno would often be at sea with his father, enjoying the breeze, learning the way of the sea, catching fish- and then excitedly coming home to his Mama, to sing and help around the kitchen.

It was a simple life in a loving home, but love is a fickle, cruel thing. Bianca had dreams and ambitions of her own, of greater things this small, nowhere town couldn’t give her. She needed to open her wings, find a better life for herself and her son in the big city, but… Bruno said no, and Bianca left to never return.

This change was one of many. Paolo tried to heal his broken heart and work more so he could be better, for his son. Taking fishing trips, sightseeing trips, and dealing with demanding tourists. As it turned out, a pair of these tourists weren’t what they seemed and after having witnessed a drug deal Paolo was brutally attacked and left in a coma.

Bruno felt both blessed and cursed. His father was alive! and those men would come looking for him.

Weighing his options, heavy as the knife he held in hand, Bruno did as his father taught him while on the boat. Let the bait work. wait. and when the fish bites, you take the knife and gut them.

There’s no turning back from murder, and this was only the beginning. Desperate, he turned to the Passione Crime Syndicate, asking for their protection in exchange for his loyalty; it wasn’t long until he became their valuable child executioner, groomed into being the perfect agent, nobody would doubt a child, and the dead can’t regret their lack of caution.

Years would pass and he would rise up the ranks, little Bruno was now addressed almost exclusively by surname, Buccellati, a sign of the respect he’d gained by the members of Passione, and of his community. He would go on to lead his own team, become Capo, and take the fight directly to the Don.

After all, the bastard had plunged Passione into the hard drugs trade, the same dirty business that cost Buccellati his life, family and childhood.

Community and Family are sacred.

Knowing the Don would forsake both his people and his daughter, Enraged Buccellati. So even if he found himself with his hands tied and mouth muzzled, even if this was challenging the same power that allowed him to keep his own safe, Buccellati would fight tooth and nail for change.

They say traitors walk alone in a path leading only to pain and isolation.

If that���s what it takes, then so be it, it’ll be difficult…

But Buccellati has a plan, he always does.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

A Stand is the manifestation of a person's soul, they are one and the same, and their power reflects the truth of their user’s psyche.

『STICKY FINGERS』: Buccellati's stand. Aside from the enhanced speed and strength all stand users receive; It allows him to create zippers on any surface. He can open and close the zippers whenever he desires, as well as activate these remotely. While Sticky Fingers himself isn't visible to the naked eye of non-stand users, his zipper ability is physical phenomena and thus can be seen and touched by anyone.

Sticky Fingers's zippers comes with a couple of sub-abilities such as:

UNION AND SEPARATION: Attaching, Detaching and reattaching different things together. This includes body parts which can be to and from different people.

SEVERING: The zippers can swiftly cut through things without issue, this includes body parts. Buccellati is able to control whether this is harmful/painful or not.

For example: a severed head could still be completely functional and healthy as if it was still attached to the body. But if Buccellati decided to, this effect could be nullified and function more like a traditional beheading.

HEALING: the zippers are able to close wounds as well as reattach severed limbs by virtue of zipping tissue up and back together.

ZIPPER DIMENSION: zippers could be opened to lead into a hammer/impossible space within objects/people. This allows him to hide things inside places, even himself.

OPENING SPACE: This works mostly as creation of an opening that connects one space to another.

For Example: Buccellati placed a zipper on the wall of a railcar, allowing him to move through it and into the rails. It's free real door.

INHERENT ABILITIES:

Lie Detection: though not infallible, Buccellati is very good at telling if someone is lying. it may or may not include intimidation tactics and of course…. Licking people. He calls himself a "human lie detector."

Skilled Fighter: Buccellati has been in the Mafia from a really young age. He is not afraid of getting into physical altercations - he's shown to be flexible, fast and merciless.

Smart: and quick on his feet, but very, very clueless.

Natural Born Leader: along with his habit of looking after others, it's second nature for him to move into positions of leadership, following the best interests of those under his command.

Charisma: illegal for a man to have that much.

Hi, translator!Anon here to say that I am crushing my Duolingo lessons, but I also put the four images of that Belial ASMR Twitter post through Google lens, to hilarious results

The first one says: Are you the rumored Knight-san?... Oh, please don't be alarmed. I'm just a designer passing by... Oh no, or maybe I was a pastry chef?

I'm guessing Knight or something equivalent is the term for the people playing the card game, but I think Belial losing track of which lie he told about his vocation is actually hysterical. Man really does not care to make an effort

The second one says: You absolutely can't trust me?... Hehe, hehehe... Ha ha ha! Okay, let's end the foreplay here. It seems that you too can be called a kind of singularity.

Mmh, that laughter.

I guess this confirms that the card game universe is separate from the Gbf universe. Does Belial have multiverse awareness? Terrifying thought.

Number three: When I look at that look in your eyes... I remember someone from somewhere. It stimulates my masochism and is really tempting. Oh no, reach, reach!

So, the obvious orgasm line is translated as "reach", which is charmingly PG, but also, he came just from being looked at funny, so that's. Something I will never be able to cleanse from my mind.

I guess he really does carry a torch for Gbf's Singularity - or being looked at coldly reminds him of Lucilius's perpetual not being impressed by him.

Last one: Do you really want to know why I approached you?... Well, I don't mind to tell you. As a condition...will you not commit adultery with me?

The first part reminds me of this "Oh, you're approaching me?" Jojo meme, which I can definitely see him doing. The second part. Let's not talk about that

Anyway, I hope that elicited some kind of feeling from you. I thought they were funny, at least

I'm also reasonably sure at least some of those are based on some of his Gbf lines, because I vaguely remember the adultery one

Anyway, I'll be back, probably. Hopefully after the owl releases my loved ones. Until then, take care!

omg hello back!!! Glad to have you here!!!

good luck on your learnings, and omg, major thanks for coming in with the translations on this one!

AND HELPPP yeah him losing track of his identity lies still track. Love that he still brings up the Fashion designer first though, i'm sure he wants to be one so bad this lie slips so easily.

calling the knight a singularity because they don't trust him... honey nothing about you is trustworthy, godbless

oh his comment on how their MC is looking at him is so??? i want to believe it's about Danchou, it'd be so fun if it's true. As for the "reach reach" i know exactly the line. I hate it here. Spraying water on Belial as we speak.

AND??? THAT LAST LINE???? committing adultery.... is he talking about himself (how he'd be cheating on Lucilius if he laid with someone else) or the MC, that's the question. but he's such a terrible little dude.

they really made me laugh, thank you SO MUCH for sharing! he's such a mess (affectionate)

they're likely based on granblue ones, the first one definitely is for instance, so the adultery one might be somewhere in there...

Thank you once again for sharing it all with us <333 and good luck with the owl. Cheering for you and one day you'll understand everything Belial says with your own two ears. at your own risk.

Cheering for you and take care <333
