LORE DUMP THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR!!!

HEY GUYS SO.... I was working on this last night but fell asleep. I'm gonna drop all of my lore so far about my s/i, his Stand, and f/o's that nobody asked for. There's some stuff I'm still trying to figure out + it's not fully fleshed out, so I'll be updating this later on. I only have stuff for part 4 so far.

Feel free to ask questions if you want since this some parts aren't very detailed yet.

Keep in mind that my s/i is literally just me but JoJo-fied and with a few differences (like a non-tragic backstory bc I don't wanna traumadump, some personality changes, and he's a bit older too)

Elder Scroll s/i lore coming soon too.

PERSONALITY:

However, he is very impulsive and will constantly put himself in harm's way. It's also not uncommon for him to drag others into danger as well, though that is never intentional. He also has a very overactive imagination. This causes him to go on rants, exaggerate stories, and jump to conclusions. He has a habit of talking to himself. He is VERY bad at managing his money and is always broke from spending whatever money he does get on snacks and other stuff.

Overall, August is a kind person and gets along with most people because of his humor and good heart. He enjoys being around his closest friends and family, and tries to spend as much time as possible with them. He likes to tease his closest friends, but he never means what he says. He loves animals and taking care of them, especially cats and birds.

BACKSTORY:

August lived in the US for most of his life. He lived at his family's farm in Kentucky with his mom and siblings and spent a lot of time riding horses and taking care of the other animals (chickens, pigs, stray cats, etc.)

While he did enjoy this, he had other plans for what he wanted to do. Since he was young, he found interest in reading comic books and drawing. Later on in middle school, he also became interested in alternative fashion (he had a goth phase for a LONG time)

When he was 16, he went on a trip to Japan with some of his classmates and teacher during the summer. There, he discovered anime and manga, and that is how he decided he wanted to become a mangaka.

With no motivation and being completely unemployed, he has a lot of free time that he spends sitting around his apartment. Until a month later, when he gets shot by a Stand arrow...

As soon as he turned 18, he left home and went back to Japan, where he would live permanently. He stayed in an apartment for Tokyo for almost 2 years, working on his manga and doing part-time jobs. The city was too overwhelming for him, so he eventually left and moved to somewhere quieter—Morioh...

His first interaction with other Stand users was with Josuke and Okuyasu, who encountered August's Stand while walking to school and went almost blind. It was an accident and August wasn't aware of what his Stand ability was before, so he helped them.

STAND:

Closer is August's Stand. It manipulates the vision of any person (blurring, making everything appear closer/farther, seeing different color spectrums, etc). Closer lays an egg nearby and anyone who comes in direct contact with the egg will cause it to crack. A liquid will fly from the cracks, landing in the target's eyes and altering their vision. This effect can take place almost immediately or later in the day and will last depending on how much the egg has cracked. The effects will also wear off if August lifts them himself. While it isn't a Stand focused on fighting, it is very fast and is able to attack with its beak . (Shoutout to my friend for helping me come up with this ability. She can't have social media though so can't credit😔)

Closer has a dodo bird-like appearance and has a very fluffy body, almost like a cloud. Its entire body is mostly grey and white, but it has a green beak.

RELATIONSHIPS:

(This isn't all of them yet and is just a quick summary for now, so sorry😔.)

Josuke

When Josuke and August first talked, they got along very well and almost immediately became friends. Josuke did think August was a bit strange and August was a bit intimidated by Josuke, but besides that there was no issues. August joins in on Josuke and Okuyasu's adventures sometimes, so they hang out frequently. Josuke enjoys August's company, even though they get into heated arguments at the arcade over fighting games. The two like to go "window shopping", but August always finds stuff that he wants to buy and Josuke doesn't bother stopping him, so August often goes home with an empty wallet after hanging out.

Okuyasu

Okuyasu didn't like August much at first because he thought he was weird, and he also wanted to beat him up after being visually impaired by his Stand. But they quickly became friends and those thoughts went away. Okuyasu considers August as a brother figure that he can go to for advice...and help with homework. They rarely hang out places alone because they often get themselves into trouble, so they usually go with Josuke and sometimes Koichi. Their favorite activity is eating all of Tonio's food together.

Koichi

Koichi met August after seeing him hanging around Josuke and Okuyasu, and was a bit scared to approach him at first because he thought he was too cool. But they became good friends after they first met. They do hang out sometimes, but not often. If they see each other around Morioh, they will say hello and talk for a bit. Koichi often asks him for help with his homework or asking him to help him break up dumb arguments Josuke and Okuyasu have. August enjoys being around Koichi because he is so nice to everyone.

Yukako

They first met after August saw Koichi and Yukako walking together and holding hands and asked about it. At first, Yukako found August to be really annoying, and she didn't like him. Whenever he tried to talk to her, she would ignore him. It took a while for them to become friends since Yukako hated him so much. Once they did become friends, Yukako still finds him annoying but likes to talk to him about Koichi or whatever else she wants.

Rohan

They were introduced by Koichi after he decided to bring August to Rohan's house so they could meet. Rohan found August EXTREMELY annoying and wanted him to shut up, but at the same time after using Heaven's Door, he found him intriguing and figured he wasn't too bad. They started hanging out more and would talk about art and manga. August also started reading Rohan's manga and would give ideas for what could be in the next chapters (which Rohan usually ignored or shut down, but he thought it was cute that he tried). Soon, they developed feelings for each other. It was obvious to everyone except for them. They finally got together near the end of the year after August confessed. They didn't tell anyone about their relationship for a while, until Koichi found out.

FUN FACTS:

☆ August and Okuyasu share joint custody over Stray Cat. Every week, they send it to the other's house to take care of it and play with it. This can get very emotional sometimes because both are attached to Stray Cat and don't want to give it up for a week.

☆ One time, August and Koichi thought it was a fun idea to take their partners on a double date together. They were wrong. Yukako and Rohan got into a VERY heated argument, so they never did it again.

☆ When Jotaro was in Morioh, August sometimes helped him with his field research. During this time, he was surprisingly quiet and focused.

☆ August is banned from using Rohan's kitchen after accidentally starting a small fire from trying to impress him with cooking.

☆ August got arrested for shoplifting once (he was 100% guilty but kept insisting it was a misunderstanding).

☆ Closer is named after the NIN song

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.

every year during the met gala people run to social media to say „why do people care about who’s at the MET, celebrity culture so so over rated bleh bleh bleh,“ and it’s like JOJO! HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING!!! The Met Gala is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted AT THE MUSEUM which is kinda cool when you think about your favorite celebrities donating to the proliferation of art, but also is just objectively good and interesting if you care about art at all. Speaking of art: FASHION IS ART!!! It’s not really about celebrity at all it’s about the LEWK. My favorite met gala moments are when i see someone i’ve never heard of in the most gorgeous attire you couldn’t even conceptualize. I mean why do people care about any red carpet outfits? Why do people go to art museums? Well it’s quite simple; beauty is powerful.

Additionally this years theme was „Superfine Tailoring Black Style.“ meaning the dress code is an ode to the significance and history of tailoring in black history and culture. So yeah i’d say that actually is pretty interesting to me, inspirational even. Especially right now.

Everyday it seems on tik tok or twitter some lot of people are complaining about what a celebrity said or didn’t say, but many of them are artists or personalities of all different kinds. A lot of people don’t understand that:

1. people do change,even slightly, even moment to moment, constantly, always.

2. what you wear, what you write, what you create, every decision you make is a statement; it all tells people something… if they’re listening

Public displays of art that are guaranteed to reach mass amounts of people like the met gala, the superbowl, or coachella, are great moments to make statements that say something without directly saying something. That could be kinda like a convient way to make choices that speak to people without directly saying something that could upset let’s say like a fascist regime or something (just like spitballing here). It could be more beneficial to express yourself through art, especially if you want to maintain your money and power to support the communities you see struggling.

It’s almost like the arts are under attack and it’s so easy for them to convince people that art just isn’t important because i guess it isn’t always profitable and doesn’t directly progress technology, which is all they convinced people to care about. The killing joke of that: life is a work of art. Pretty or not.

After all of this i want to leave you with a question. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much does your outfit cost?

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

#I never know how to end headcanon posts but osdsnkjaf #anyway Mojo Jojo is such a great character I'm glad he's been getting the appreciation he deserves lately bfkjnfa <3 #he is a fascinating creature GDGSJBN #the powerpuff girls #mojo jojo #headcannons

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.

What or who inspires you to draw?

oh boy, y'all better get ready for this...

ARTISTS THAT INSPIRE ME

Leyendecker is definitely the one my work gets compared to the most! i started looking at his works earlier this year as a color and lighting reference, and i've found that his crisp use of lines and subtle yet bold color choices for sure motivated me to keep experimenting with color.

i also find a lot of inspiration from the wyeths (N.C. on the left, jamie on the right), particularly jamie wyeth. jamie wyeth does a lot of bold, horroresque paintings, the nature of which are supernatural and unsettling. i literally want to inject his work into my veins oml. he uses a lot of different mediums, like paints and colored pencils in a singular piece. one of his biggest paintings was done on a piece of cardboard (not super relevant, but i still think it's a fun fact)

N.C. wyeth is known for illustrating children's books, so i grew up seeing his work as book covers in middle school (mainly treasure island) :)

REAL LIFE INSPO

i also use retro colors from arcades and outfits for color inspiration on it's own, since i tend to draw from that era of fashion/media! like, i used to color pick from images like this before i memorized the color combos i liked!

my sketching/actual drawing style hasn't changed much, and it wasn't inspired as much as it just morphed into it's own kind of amalgamation of media i consumed as a kid.

for overall inspo, as in what keeps me drawing, i mainly refer to series like fullmetal alchemist (manga), the legend of zelda, lord of the rings, OBVIOUSLY jojo's bizarre adventure, and witch hat atelier :D

Base Yandere Damien Headcanons (+Buff Pastel Femme-Boy/Trans Man Goth Reader) (Dream Daddy) Happy Trans Day of Remembrance!

Here is the Request for Bonus Content after the Base Yandere Headcanons Yandere Damian Bloodmarch (Who is a TransMan) X Transman Listener (Dream Daddy) (From Requester: I love the buff Femboy idea! (so femme Pastel Goth on a gym bro.) Like Listener is also super far in his transition like Damien and he just loves being a buff girly pop that drinks boba tea and drinks iced sugary coffee. Basically the opposite to Damien in that regard. I wanna say a Trans Man Listener who has top surgery done, and Damien has both done.

I think in this scenario it'd be funny if Listener was Pastel Goth

The Listener uses testosterone gel because they're afraid of needles. But they're totally into the whole vampire aesthetic but in their own unique way.

Hello, My Sexy Muffins! I am here with the trans day of remembrance special! Which is Base Yandere Damien Bloodmarch (He is a trans man in canon!) Headcanons and then specific headcanons with a specific Reader! Info above! Now let's do this! (Disclaimer: Damien Bloodmarch is a trans man in canon! Trans men like Reader can be Femme boys and buff femme boys like Jojo's bizarre adventure kind of style! Reader being a femme boy does not make him any less trans or any less a man! Clothing does not make your gender, clothes can be worn by anyone regardless of what they look like! Trans men are Men and Trans Rights Are Human Rights!

Disclaimer: Damien Bloodmarch is once again a trans man and he is not Yandere in canon! This is just for fun, and not to be taken seriously at all! Simping for fictional characters and yanderes is fine! Just do not be illegal or gross about it! You know who you are! Your Dirty, Flaky, Biscuits! Yanderes are not ideal partners to have in real life, also, remember to separate fiction from reality and headcanons from canon! Thank you!)

First up the base headcanon! Enjoy this!] -Base Yandere Headcanons With Damien Bloodmarch From Dream Daddy-

.Damien Bloodmarch is a trans man and he has a love for the goth and Victorian styles.

.He fell for you when you moved into the neighborhood and you were not a parent but still hung out with the dads.

.He wanted you to be the love of his life and to have you by his side. He longed for you to be his.

.He would be the type of yandere that courts you the old-fashioned way, cherishing every slow and sweet courtship moment with you.

.He would romance you and be the type to take things slow with you.

.He would prefer a romantic comedy with you over the idea of watching a horror movie with you, his darling.

.Although the best thing about watching that horror movie with you is that he can bury himself in your arms.

.It is the best thing about them and he takes advantage of it. .He also oil paints and would love to oil paint you, doing various art pieces of you in various states of dress.

.Even has a large portrait of you and him above the master bedroom's fireplace.

.He will have to find a way to explain that if you were not dating him before he made it.

.He has a secret stash of portraits of you as he is obsessed with you and wants to capture your beauty over and over.

.He also probably has made a lot of NSFW Fanfic of you and him and has them bound in leather-bound books as if they are an antique book.

.He hopes that you never accidentally find it and learn about his desires to ravish you in such sinful ways at least that is until you accept his love.

.Then he would share them with you and even read them to you in a way of foreplay~

.This is where he gets more complex as a yandere since he works in IT he would know how to make a digital copy of your computer, phone, tablet, etc.

.So he would know who you are talking to at all times and would be able to know where you are at all times! .He might not be super crazy about the internet, but he loves it as it can keep a close eye on you and your day-to-day habits.

.Also he can make sure no one else can get on a date with you.

.Like if you got a notification and he knew you did not look at it and it was someone who knew texting you, he would block their number.

.Or if a rival gave you the number he would delete it and you then would wonder why your phone did that! .He is the type of yandere that does not let anyone sneak their way into your life.

.He would also put cameras into your home and have a close eye on you a lot of the time.

.He is not doing it to be a pervert! He is doing it to make sure that you are safe and sound.

.He is a protective yandere type.

.He may even get a guard dog for you, someone to be there when he is not, of course, he would make sure the dog liked him and trusted him to go in and out of your home.

.He deals with rivals by placing some evidence of crimes and such on their computers and phones.

.He would never be the yandere to kill his rivals but he for sure is going to make sure they are still out of the picture.

.You are his and he is going to keep you by his side no matter what.

.As I said before he has been courting you to be his and his alone.

.So when he feels that he finally has properly courted you he would confess his desire for you and his true intention to have with you.

.If you accept his love he will kiss you gently, yet deeply, soft yet firm~

.It would blow you both away and this is the start of something new.

.If you turn down his feelings he is solemn and bids you a good night, but he is not going to give up!

.He will win you over, he just has to try hard and make sure you know just how much he loves you.

.You would love him back, he would make sure of it!

(Now onto specific headcanons)

-Yandere Headcanons With Damien Bloodmarch X Buff Pastel Femme Boy/Trans Man Goth Reader (Dream Daddy)-

.Damien found you to be quite enchanting.

.You were so different from him but loved so much of the same things.

.You both loved art, the goth and vampire aesthetic in your own ways of course, and your unique ways of being.

.Not to mention you were both trans men.

.You would make stunning outfits and really show off when you go out on the town.

.But like Damien on days you are working (As a personal trainer) could be found in sweats and a tank top and not the whole super cute outfit. .Damien likes both versions of you and admits when you take off your shirt in the gym he is so turned on because of your strong chest.

.Damien might be the top but he does love being swooned like a princess when you princess lift him up like a blushing bride.

.He feels so delicate in your strong capable hands.

.But of course, since you are a gym bro, you are close to Craig.

.Which he gets jealous of this and even hires you as a personal trainer.

.Just so he can keep an eye on you and also spend more time with you.

.He loves how you tailored a workout that is good for his goals and body type.

.He learned when you did not start transitioning to a man that you had been on all the female sports teams (Disclaimer Reader was born female and before he started to transition he would have been required to play on the female teams) When you started T you were kicked off but the schools still said you could not play because you were born female and could not be on the male sports teams.

.so you got into working out and helping trans men, trans women, and nonbinary folk have their ideal body goals.

.Because they are happier when they feel the way they want to be and how they did not know how to work out for their new body type with T Or E. So they were not doing the best they could. .Damien finds this amazing and you were so kind to make these training programs for each of your clients and future goals and current to future body types.

.Damien falls more and more in love with you.

.Since you use the Gel for Your T he learned you were afraid of needles and if you ever had to use needles for T injection form he would do it for you.

.Comforting you the whole way and making you feel safe.

.If anyone were to insult you or misgender you or call you a slur he would make their lives hell one way or another, probably with their computers and cellphones.

.You and him might be vastly different in the goth, vampire style, not to mention your body types.

.But he does treat you like a Victorian lady and even has ordered custom Victorian, but pastel, gothic dresses for your body type. .He made a portrait of you in one of those dresses flexing your muscle arms. (like up buff Victorian women and you should be able to find buff women when the camera was first made and them flexing GOD TIER DOMMY MUSCLE MOMMIES)

.Since you have yet to have bottom surgery if you still had a period he would make sure that you had all the comforts you needed.

.He is your man after all and you are his man so he would for a fact make sure you feel like a man regardless of the monthly curse of Eve!

.He would confess his love to you on a picnic in the moonlight of a graveyard.

.If you accept his love he would be over the moon and kiss you right there while you are bathed in the moonlight. .If you turn him down he will understand but once again he will not give up he will once again make his intentions clear and will do his best to woo you! .For Art Thou is his darling~ [YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS another chapter is done! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter here and stay sexy, all of my sexy muffins!

And Happy Trans Remembrance Day! To all!]

THE GREAT LEADER OF TAKUMI INUI??????

faiz motorbicycle

he's made from bats

in true great leader fashion, he's down in one hit

great leader deaths: 1 (but technically like,,,, 9??? at this point???)

takumi inui deaths: ...who?

yeah that's right, takumi has been dead since before this special even started, and only kaido remembers any different

pretty ballsy move tbh, and one we're just gonna have to not think about whenever anymore big crossovers and anniversary projects come up,,,,

so that's the end of our journey through the spin-offs, for now, and we ended with one that was way better than it really had any right to be, which is fucking awesome when they do that :D

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.

Rambles About Trying to Design/Draw Fashion on Characters

Back in 2023 when I came back to making stuff as R. Scrooge and focusing on cartoony looking art, I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole with fashion YouTubers.

At the time, I was working on a Total Drama fan comic and really wanted to push for having a few different outfits for any characters that might recur. It got me thinking about ideas like what color scheme does this character like, what kind of styles would they gravitate towards, would their fashion reflect current day or otherwise.

This kinda carried over when I started getting back into O.K. K.O. Its only shown up thus far with Boxman and Venomous stuff or my fan character. Scrooge has three standard designs to me: crop top with shorts, some hints at 60's Mod, or some variation of suit and tie.

For awhile, I had an easier time coming up with one-off outfits for Boxman since...I can imagine him in fun, ridiculous, really dad energy stuff. He can wear something tacky and it'd be in character. I'm okay with letting his fashion be all over the place: he can have a few high-fashion, competently put together fits and questionable Hawaiian shirt fare.

Actually, a better description is that I was more likely to shake up Boxman's look but I was probably drawing PV in a black button up or green jeans. I did experiment a little with PV outfits at one point, but more often, its just his canon outfits.

Other than these three, I have one alt. design for Fink that's a mix between her lab coat inspired dress but with a few punk touches and Converse boots. Otherwise, I've stuck with the canon outfits for the cast since I don't draw them often enough to play with that otherwise. I'm debating taking a crack at designing outfits for Cosma. I don't know.

I started to like the sexy lizard lady after spending a couple weeks writing a fanfic with her as one of the leads, lol.

I've also started trying to apply this to my own characters with questionable levels of success. I can confidently describe what their outfits or closet would look like! I even have 2-3 established outfit designs for most of them that I cycle through when I draw sketches or one-off things with them.

Sunny's outfits are majority off-shoulder tops, Converse shoes (with untied laces), and have a very summer weather feel to them. Joy is a seamstress. Her outfits feature her beloved ruffly accent, some kind of Victorian or lolita inspired element, boots, and definitely purple. Sussudio (the octopus alien) likes flowy dresses and skirts, preferably with a floral pattern.

I'm not all that confident in my grasp on fashion stuff but I'm gonna keep trying anyway. One day, I would LOVE to have Araki's attention to detail and care when designing outfits. Look at any Jojo's Bizarre Adventure character and that's a master class in designing fashion that gives that extra little insight for them as well as being a fantastic design period.

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
