My thoughts on each jojo part

this seemed like fun, so i decided to do it. note that I read most of jojo rather than watched it, so this is about the manga. Spoilers throughout

part 1:

BEST

introduces dio, my favorite villain in all of fiction

for as much as people dog it for being the “worst part,” or for being easily skippable, I actually think it works as the perfect introduction to the series

easily the most accessible part, with straightforward powers, characters, plot structure, etc.

that being said, also easily the sloppiest art. araki’s trademark style manages to shine through, but for the most part it comes off as a weaker fist of the north start visually

There’s so much of this part that’s just never revisited after the series moved into the modern day, like the gothic horror tropes or historical fiction elements. It makes it feel unique and fresh to this day

Johnathan’s death still makes me sad :(

part 2:

the funniest part

I fell in love with jojo when he pulled a motherfucking tommy gun on a century old martial arts vampire master

managed to develop the ideas and themes of part 1 while still having its own identity and ideas to present, a tricky thing to do

incredibly fast paced, almost to a detriment. there’s a reason 1 & 2 just got one season of the anime total while every other part got at least 2

The art gets cleaner, and much more in line with what people think of when they think “jojo style,” though you still see some sloppy panels here and there.

One of the very few parts with a no-holds-barred happy ending, which is nice

while villains were more visually distinct, they were much weaker personalities. Esidisi has one of the most memorable moments in the entire series, but other than that they’re just stock bad guys. no crazy philosophical ramblings or surreal powers

you can also tell that araki was coming up on the limit of unique stuff he could think of for hamon to do, though its a shame he never properly revisited it i can see why he moved away from it

part 3:

I C O N I C

my favorite part in terms of the artstyle. all of the crazy poses and exaggerated musculature, but far cleaner linework and more consistently on model than what came before it

the character designs for this parts villains are super underrated, people of all shapes sizes and colors come out to throw hands with the stardust crusaders

while jotaro can be kind of a wet blanket at times, polnareff more than makes up for it in raw charisma and charm

Joseph returned, which was AWESOME

DIO is at his most iconic and menacing in this part

though the stand abilities are basic to the point of not aging well compared to what was to come, the visual designs remain unrivaled imo, star platinum and the gang are all gorgeous

the structure of the roadtrip is so genius, since it helps avoid blatant power escalation while still having a strong sense of progression

so many iconic fights. the darbys. steely dan. enyaba. hol horse. oingo boingo. friggin Dio’s world. I still reread that fight every year or so, its so fucking good

definitely the most pure shonen part, just cool fight after cool fight

all of that being said, the sheer scope of the part works against it. for every memorable and awesome villain fight, theres at least two that literally everyone forgets

the main cast also suffers from being underdeveloped. kakyoin gets like 2 cool fights and is a bit player for the rest of the part, joseph is massively underutilized, and avdol’s storyline is just a clusterfuck

This part suffers in simultaneously having the least creative stand powers, but also the least consistent. You can tell araki was still working to flesh out and establish what a stand was during this. Ideas like stands shapeshifting and telepathy are used multiple times, even up to the end, but are never seen outside of this part. But the actual listed abilities of everyone rarely get any more abstract that “fog manipulation.” The part is definitely more than punch ghosts, but it a’int much more

Star platinums true stand power is “plot convenience,” and a lot of this is directly tied into araki’s very fast and loose understanding of what a stand is in this part

Joseph resurrecting at the end was bullshit and you all know it

part 4:

BEST BOY

The slice of life structure once again helps mitigate the power creep, and the more lighthearted vibe makes the less urgent plot progression more palatable

Extremely charming main cast, everyone is used well and has a strong personality, imo araki hasnt gotten in this right before or since. Literally the only wish I had was okuyasu getting a fight where he just gets to fucking body someone

This part has a far firmer grasp on what exactly a stand is, and therefore can subvert it better. You don’t have characters suddenly having powers that they never use again, but you do have stands like harvest that flip the idea of what a stand can be on its head

On top of that, the idea of stand users gets subverted here as well. Sure you have the stereotypical goons like red hot chili peppers, but you also have teenage girls and italian chefs presenting unique problems to get out of. You get a real sense of what every day life is like with stand users around, and it brings the city of morioh to life in such a wonderful and interesting way

The ending is sometimes seen as anticlimactic, but I personally love it, it feels like the city of morioh itself is rejecting kira.

That being said, this part probably has the weakest throughline of the series. Its worryingly easy to forget that the whole reason jotaro is here is because there’s an actual serial killer on the loose

Kira comes into his own as a great villain later on, but to me he fails to provide that urgent sense of threat that every other jojo villain has. He’s not really scary until the milisecond he gets cornered, and while that fits with his personality and the parts tone, it undermines the tension that he’s meant to bring

josuke never got to come back for another part despite araki saying he was his favorite jojo and im still sad

part 5:

S T R E S S F U L

seriously, such a dark part after the relatively lighthearted part 4

the pace is insane, a high strung crescendo of tension and action

the first part not to feature a previous cast member in its main cast, an interesting and bold choice that would end up sticking for better and for worse

that being said, POLNAREFF CAME BACK ASDOFHALWEFJNASDKLNVAK

Lovable cast, my biggest complaint is how little time we got with a lot of them. they fade out just as fast as they grow on you

while part 3 was my favorite iteration of araki’s classic style, this is my favorite iteration of this second style he developed, featuring longer limbs and (slightly) less exaggerated musculature of characters

the. best. stand fights. high octaine, tense, creative, brilliant, subversive, surreal, but still straightforward enough to be easy to follow along.

a lot of the stand powers here are intentionally underpowered, which makes for more creative combat and compelling conflict

we see a return to a “road trip” style structure. In fact this part can largely be read as araki re-attempting SDC with a new art style and better grasp of storytelling: large but ever shrinking cast, a shadowy villain cloacked in mystery who manipulates time and sends hired stand users out to combat the heroes, a protagonist slightly detached from his journey as he develops his powers, only truly taking the mantle of leadership when its thrust upon him

That being said, for all the strengths it borrows from SDC, it also inherits its weaknesses.

Giorno has the worst case of the “plot convenience” stand power in the entire series, including a borderline literal deus ex machina at the end. And remember, this is still taking into account Jotaro “start finger” kujo

Diavolo is just a knockoff shadow dio that’s less intimidating, more overpowered, less interesting, more confusing, and overall just a weaker villain

While the individual fights themselves are far more creative and cool, the characters behind those fights are even less memorable than SDC. The anime basically just aired, so its fresh in everyones minds, but a year or two from now try and name like 5 villains and I guarantee you’ll fail.part of that is tied into their more nuanced characterization sticking out less than the more reductive but loud SDC villains, and since the part is much shorter it doesn’t matter as much, but when i was catching the odd episode of the anime i was surprised at how i’d remember the fights themselves but almost nothing about the actual villains involved

this part is the start of stand powers getting too abstract for their own good. sticky figners seems simple enough at first but the brass taxes of what it actually does are convoluted, giornos stand ability is just whatever araki needs it to be to get himself out of the corner he’s written himself into, and of course the absolutely iconic “it just works.” overall everything is still readable, but especially when diavolo stars making moves there are a lot of fights where its easy to get lost.

if you ever wonder why people ship giorno and mista it’s because they’re the only characters that actually survive this part

part 6:

I hated this series at first but it grew on me over time. to reflect that, I’ll start with it’s weaknesses and build up to what i liked

the worst araki’s art has ever been. I hated this look. everyone was a whisp of what they should be, the limbs that were originally aesthetically long became just gangly and gross, and everyone’s face looked so bad

Some of the most boring stand fights in the series. I struggle to recall more than 3 before the green baby arc, and i can barely remember any characters in them

while it started in part 5, this part is the apex of indecipherable stand fights. There were so many fights where i just gave up trying to understand what i was looking at or what was going on and just skimmed through them

There’s an entire arc about fighting the children of dio who are being compelled to come to florida for plot reasons, and giorno doesn’t show up. he’s friggin name dropped in the notes for the chapter and he just. doesn’t show up. infuriating.

pucci kiiiiiiiiiiiiinda sucks. Personality wise he doesn’t really amount to anything more than being horny for dio, and his normal stand abilities aren’t really that interesting. While in theory Whitesnake should have the most interesting stand fights, since he can use literally any ability, in practice he rarely elevates beyond a punch ghost. His design is cool, and once the green baby comes into the picture his fights are a lot cooler, but for the most part he’s just. lame.

the worst supporting cast to date. Every is either annoying, boring, or annoying and boring. Everyone just kind of exists and doesn't do anything until it’s ‘their’ fight, where araki hurriedly dumps their backstory to try and make you give a shit about them, before moving on to the next thing

in exchange for that though, we get one of the most nuanced and well developed main characters in the series in Jolene. Her arc makes this part worth reading, despite the faults

while it takes time to build up to it, this part has some of the coolest and most surreal stand fights in the entire series. I’ve menitoned it several times before, but the green baby appearing is the turning point of the entire part for me. Suddenly the stakes are elevated, the stand fights are the most creative and fascinating in the series, and since there are very few character deaths the climax feels like a genuine war, with everyone trying to stop the ending from happening.

the ending is disapointing and heartbreaking in some ways, incredibly poignant and beautiful in others. a real mixed bag, but an ultimately fitting end to this arc of araki’s work

part 7:

you know how I said part 1 was best? I lied, the remake of part 1 is the best

Utterly gorgeous art. Legitimately a lot of this manga looks like a renaissance painting. The composition and lining are on another level.

Another chance for araki to reset the pwoerscaling of the series, most of the stand abilities we see in this are actually incredibly simple. Part of this is due to having to share plot space with spin and the corpse parts, but the result is far tighter and easier to follow battles compared to part 6

the pacing is immaculate. There’s a clearly defined goal that each chapter works to progress, thigns move fast when they need to and linger when the need to

narrowing the cast down to essentially johhny and Gyro, with a few rotating side characters, really fleshes the two of them out. johhny is my favorite jojo by far. he’s a terrible person, but you can’t help but empathize with him and learn to love him and root for him. Gyro is arguably the main character, with a compelling central conflict and tragic flaw that make him one of the best characters in the entire franchise

brilliant stand fights, be it clever usage of simple stands or surrealist duels using calculus to overcome the multiverse, genuenly indispensible shonen.

part 8:

It’s hard to judge this one since it’s still not complete, and I’m not even caught up yet. I think a lot of my opinions on it are gonna come down to if araki sticks the landing

a suuuuuuuuuuper slow pace. compared to SBR, with it’s clear goals and steady progression, this is really miandering and at times random. It’s meant to resemble the pace of 4, but that came out weekly and this comes out monthly.

The lack of an established main villain for most of its run hurts the tension if the part, and makes things seem less purposeful.

The side characters are all interesting, but they leave almost as soon as we meet them, it makes it hard to get attached to them.

Art is still fantastic

Lots of fun fights and creative stand powers for sure, nothing mind blowing but still excellent

Note

A, B, C, D, N, O, P, S, Z

Ahhh yay! So many questions! ❤️

Also lol I basically spent my day slowly writing out my answers in the notes app.

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

- Hardzzello. Currently my main hyperfixation! I just love putting the two together, even with different characters they've played. I also very much like Nightangel but lol I'm also very particular about the fanfics and art that I consume regarding that ship.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

- Grami. Both as a platonic ship and as a romantic ship. Like I know they're close friends and care deeply for one another, but I never seemed to think of them in a shippy way until a friend pointed it out to me and how underrated the ship is. Now it's like my eyes have been opened and now I'm noticing how soft and sweet and affectionate they are with each other!

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

- R*ylo. Nope. Not for me and never will be.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

- Pixie/Harland/Frank. Okay here's the thing - if it had just ended slightly differently, then I would've enjoyed the ship. But the movie decided to go with that ending and it just felt so disappointing with how Pixie's character arc went.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

- Main fandom right now is the Queen/BoRhap fandom!

1. Definitely want more Rami in fics and art! I know people tend to focus on Gwil, Ben, and Joe because the three have been much more active in social media, (and certain other reasons). But c'mon, are you really going to leave out Rami?? The guy who brought Freddie Mercury to life in BoRhap?? That sweetheart??

2. I'm surprised that this needs to be said, but I want people to learn how to write Rami like an actual person, or at least try to base it on how he acts like in real life. Not sure if people still do this, but I used to see fics where they'd make him so unusually aggressive (bc racial biases towards black/brown men) OR they'd go the opposite route and make him super infantile and where he basically acts like a small child (bc apparently the only way they can think of to make a black/brown man not scary is to make him act and talk like a baby 🤢). Hopefully this has changed, but I'm not sure since I barely read fics by authors I don't know anymore.

Okay so this last one will be for the X-Men fandom!

3. More badass Kurt PLEASE! Enough of this uwu innocent bottom baby personality! Let him kick ass and flirt and be badass ffs!

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

- lol I put my music on shuffle and got Take On Me by A-ha, a song that makes me immediately think of Joe Mazzello solely based on the jumpy/funky/fun vibes of the music.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

- I just suddenly remembered how my friend reminded me about the BoRhap boys' age gap by saying that when Rami was 20, Gwil and Joe were 17. Then you have Ben who was only TEN. So like can you imagine an AU where they somehow met at that age? Just Rami, Gwil, and Joe panicking because they have this whole ass child right in front of them and they know nothing about childcare!

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

- aaahhh okay I will admit that I don't exactly understand this question. Like, an example from where? Canon? Fanfic? Why is there a prompts optional thing? Gah um okay I'll just answer it as me saying one of my headcanons!

Personally I think that Four from 6 Underground has ADHD based on his mannerisms and the way he gestures a lot and speaks fast and also because I relate to him and I also have ADHD, so there!

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

- I've probably said this before, but I am not over the similarities/coincidences between Queen and the BoRhap boys! It's not just from their looks! Like it's even down to their astrology with their sun and moon signs. And their relationships omg!

Like how Freddie was super close to John, then you have the decade-long friendship between Rami and Joe.

Brian and Roger were friends since the beginning of Queen and even until now, then you have Gwil and Ben who bonded over the fact that they're both Brits and can relate to each other more.

Then there's John and Roger's friendship and about them bonding more being the youngest ones in the band, meanwhile Joe and Ben's friendship is just such hilarious fun.

John and Brian have this sort-of friendship/rivalry going on, likewise with how Joe and Gwil pretend to fight over Ben.

Brian and Freddie have such an underrated friendship but it's obvious how much Brian cares based on how lovingly he speaks of Freddie, and it's the same with Gwil and Rami and how sweet and openly affectionate they are with each other.

Lastly there's Freddie and Roger being platonic soulmates, and while Rami and Ben's friendship may not be as open to public eye I can't forget the sweet things Rami said about Ben and how he called Ben the "glue" that brought them all together.

Aaaand I think I've rambled enough lol 😅 I hope you at least enjoyed what I let loose!

A-Z Fandom Asks

- y'all talk about the weirdest shit too

- peter rambles about his theory of there being a multiverse

"i mean, what if there really is a multiverse? like, i refuse to believe that we're the only living beings in this whole universe, much less believe that this is the only universe. and, when you think about it, it's like a whole new set of doors of knowledge are suddenly there for us to explore, i mean it just completely changes how we understand the initial singularity. we're talking about an internal inflation system and then how would that even work with all the quantum-? it's insane-!"

- he looks over at you and you're just smiling

"sorry"

"don't apologize for being a genius, peter"

- the ffh reference 😼

- his insides are like lkdsfhskjdfbg at that

- you also have ur nerd moment (i'm making this about reading because.... I Think We Can All Agree)

"what i don't get is all the imbeciles at school who think reading is stupid. they're all like, 'i haven't read a book in like two years! ha ha!' and i'm like 'oh! no wonder you're so stupid!' because not only do they think it's quirky for whatever reason to not read, but reading genuinely makes you smarter and they're all missing out on it! moreover, the feeling of getting sucked into a book and going on the story with the characters and feeling everything they're feeling and when you finish the book it's like holy shit i can't even process this and- oh i'm rambling"

- peter's just looking at you in awe

"this is why i like you"

- NOBODY MOVE

- you Cannot Breathe for a second and the two of you stop walking (still holding hands doe)

"you..?"

"i did ask you on a date, didn't i?"

- you scoff

"you muttered that it was a date and the only reason that fact was established was because i heard it and acted on it"

- peter sighs exasperatedly, still grinning like the Fool He Is as he lets go of your hand to swing his arms dramatically

"well, sorry i'm not super smooth and suave all the time!"

"yeah, cause you're never smooth and suave"

- now he :o

"hey-!"

"that's why i like you, too, parker"

- SMILE GETS EVEN BIGGER

My Choices:

Blue Exorcist

Bungou Stray Dogs

Fruits Basket

Durarara!

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

who’s your favourite character from 1?

I love Rin sm

But Shima’s also pretty fun, what’s not to love about a bastard?

who’s your least favourite character in 2?

Akutagawa is a lil bitch.

what’s your favourite episode of 4?

I’ve only watched half of season 1 so far, but probably ep. 11. Seeing all the pieces fall into place, as things just keep building up and up, it’s really cool, and super high energy, and just hoowwwaaghhdffdjjk!

what’s your favourite season of 5?

Probably part 3. ragic backstory episode? Check. Oliver Mira Armstrong? Check. Unlikely friendships forming? Check. Greedling? Check. Olivier Mira Armstrong? Check. The unveiling of the Big Bad Plan? Check. Did I mention Olivier Mira-

what’s your favourite couple of 3?

Kyoru, I’m basic.

what’s your favourite couple in 2?

There aren’t any cannon couples in bsd,(unless we’re counting Dazai’s practically cannon crush on Oda) so I’m going to say my favorite ship is: ATSULUCY!!!! It’s way too underrated and I am very sad about that.

what’s your favourite episode in 1?

Episode 6. I love how passionate Rin is about cooking, I love hearing people talk about their interests and things they love, and I guess that applies to fictional people as well lmao.

what’s your favourite episode in 5?

Part 5, episode 2. A R M S T R O N G S I B L I N G S B A D A S S E R Y

what’s your favourite season in 2?

Season 2. The Guild arc is probably one of my favorites.

how long have you been watching 1?

I first watched a few episodes of it back in like 2017? I can’t remember tbh, but I went back to it last year, and now I’m caught up on the manga. Still haven’t watched Kyoto Saga or the movie yet :(

how did you get into 3?

One of my friends convinced me to watch it when the 2019 reboot came out, and I fell head over heels for it.

favourite actor in 4?

I don’t really pay attention to voice actors whoo boy

But, I guess Bryce Papenbrook, who plays Masaomi is good.

which do you prefer? 1, 2, or 5?

I think that Bungou beats Blue Ex. out by juust a little bit. I’m really invested in bsd, and there’s so many f u n characters, and they’re all so unique and interesting and dynamic, they really make it so fun to watch/read.

which show have you seen more of, 1 or 3?

Definately Blue Ex. I’m completely caught up on the still ongoing manga, and have watched all of season one, while I’ve only seen season 1 of 2019 Fruits Basket, and read up to where the show is in the manga.

if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

Honestly, I’d just want to be a member of the Dollars. But, I can also I could see it being a lot of fun getting to ride motorcycle like Celty does.

would a crossover of 3 and 4 work?

Well, considering Fruits Basket is a romance and drama shojo, and Durarara! is a crime, supernatural, and action Shounen, not really. But I can see Izaya having a GREAT time with Shigure and Akito. 3 shady bastards in one room, what war crimes will they commit?

pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple?

Y’know? I think that Yukio and Shima might not actually be all that bad. Shima’s lax and carefree, and Yukio’s uptight and serious, I feel that they would balance each other out, Shima would remind Yukio to take fucking break for once, and Yukio would help Shima make sure he actually gets some work done. Also, they’re both kinda the same in that they’re both not quite who they seem to everyone, they’re not as “good” or “nice” as everyone thinks they are, so I feel that they could both just be their true selves with each other.

overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?

This one’s kind of hard for me to judge, since I’ve finished FMA:B, and have seen only a small part of the FB story. But from what I have so far, FMA:B is reallly good. It’s got a really good plot with really good pacing, that keeps you super invested, and makes you end up watching 4 seasons in two days.

which has better theme music, 2 or 4?

Trash Candy is a fucking BOP Bungou all the way here.

Wangnan, ehwa, rachel, and baam! :O

This is so long and rambly I’m sorry ;;

Wangnan

how i feel about this character

He’s so underrated???? Like, if you think about it with the way TOG is constructed, the narrative is really split into two complimentary stories -- the story of Bam as an irregular introduced to the world of the Tower from outside, and the story of Wangnan who lives as part of the system. And like, obviously most of the stories are kind of a slow burn right now outside of Bam (when was the last time we had an update on Kun’s goals other than “follow Bam”? And yet everyone treats him as though he’s a protagonist. He is a main character, but he’s not a protagonist . . . . ) but Wangnan’s story is clearly meant to parallel Bam’s. Bam is the outsider’s perspective on the tower. Wangnan’s the insider (in more ways than one, since SIU has mentioned he knows a lot about the inside of the tower, too.) If people would just be a little bit patient. . .

But as soon as he does start being plot relevant, there are people bitching about how SIU is trying to “force” them to care about Wangnan like ? ? ? He’s been Bam’s foil the entire time guys.

ACTUALLY! That’s something that I haven’t talked about at all yet, but Wangnan really is Bam’s foil, in a similar way to how Rachel is Kun’s foil. Everyone’s impression of Bam has been “innocent ball of pure sunshine” on the second floor, but when we’re introduced to Bam again on the 20th floor as Viole, Wangnan is the one being the innocent ball of sunshine. He’s a little more cynical and tough at first, but his primary way of dealing with people is to be honest and optimistic. Like Bam in S1, he also relies a lot on quick thinking because he’s not as powerful as the people around him, and he blames himself when things go wrong. But Bam sticks to his guns even when it divides him from people -- he point blank tells Endorssi he won’t be her Servant in NHS because he needs Kaiser’s name too, and he tends to just flat out ignore people when he doesn’t like them, while Wangnan doesn’t care about dignity or anything of the sort -- as long as he gets what he wants in the end, he’s willing to lie, cheat, steal or beg.

The team up between Wangnan and Rachel now has a layer of depth I hadn’t thought about before. Hmm. . . . . Also, if Wangnan is Bam’s foil, I wonder if he’ll also receive a great many power ups in the next season. . . . Karaka’s super evil training?!

all the people I ship romantically with this character

E V E R Y O N E please love Wangnan he’s a good kid he’ll treat you write. Right.

I don’t really ship Wangnan/Ehwa because most of the shipping material I’ve seen for it seems to be along the lines of “let’s ignore how important Ehwa’s relationship with Bam has been to the narrative in order to ship Bam with Kun or Endorssi” pair the spares type deal? But I’ll talk about that with Ehwa’s section lolol. But like. . . honestly, Wangnan makes a good pairing with literally everyone. He’s just really genuine and real with people, and he brings out sides of them that you don’t really see anywhere else.

Kun? Brings out his vulnerability and shines light on his more insecure sides.

Rachel? A little antagonistic, but he, again, brings light to the sides of her that other people over look (granted, we haven’t seen a lot of this but the whole conversation about her tidying up a lot comes to light -- he noticed that and kind of tried to dig at her the way Kun was, but it’s not the kind of thing Kun would comment on, either. Kun doesn’t ask questions. Wangnan does lolol)

Karaka? Time to be a mentor figure for Wangnan, okay, I don’t make the rules.

Vicente? Tamed

Bam? Well he’s darn well the person who got Bam into a team again.

Cassano? Calling him out on his BS and making him rethink things. Hopefully that works out to the extent of Cassano saving Horyang. (Also, Cassano/Goseng/Horyang love triangle/team up would be hilarious, but that’s unrelated.)

Wangnan is just very refreshing for ships because he earnestly interacts with people, which, compared to Bam or Kun is really nice.

my non-romantic OTP for this character

Wangnan & Ehwa as teammates who have each other’s back is always nice to see!

Akraptor’s encouragement of Wangnan before was really nice too ;;

I ship Wangnan with being respected and cherished please and thank you he’s a good kid (he’s old enough to drink . . . . though i guess the drinking age in korea is different from what i’m used to haha)

my unpopular opinion about this character

That he’s a protagonist and not a side character, evidently. . . . no one seems to understand this . . . . |||orz

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

Man. . .at this point I just wanna learn more about the ring and the red light district? What is going on there?

But also please give Wangnan friends and blankets thanks TT_TT

Ehwa

how i feel about this character

She’s such an angel and I’m so proud of her? She’s grown so much and she keeps growing, and I love her she deserves happiness and good things please give her happiness and good things ;A:

all the people I ship romantically with this character

Um. E-everyone. . . Actually, now that I think about it I don’t have a whole lot of Ehwa ships. The only people her interactions with stand out to me right now are Bam, Wangnan and Bero Bero. I don’t ship her with Wangnan so much because it really feels like a lot of the time people are dismissing her relationship with Bam, like “Side characters should be with side characters!”

But her relationship with Bam is really super sweet? She started out initially harsh and untrusting with him, but has slowly become inspired by him, and wants to become stronger alongside him . . . . The moment when she thought to herself, “No. . . I should call him Bam” really got me straight in the feels. And Bam’s interactions with her are also very sweet -- he doesn’t ever seem put off by her tsundere moments or anything, and I think he kind of gets where she’s coming from, and he seems really comfortable around her.

I still low key ship her with Bero Bero, too. There’s just a fun, “I’m DEFINITELY just jealous of her beauty and TOTALLY NOT admiring her at all what are you talking about” dynamic, even if they haven’t seen each other in ages TT_TT

my non-romantic OTP for this character

I said before that I like Wangnan and Ehwa’s team up, but I also like her bonding with Bero Bero ;a;

my unpopular opinion about this character

She’s better than Endorssi, hands down.

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

Please bring Ehwa back to the main plot soon, SIU. Please. I miss her.

Rachel

how i feel about this character

Complicated. . . . On the one hand, she’s a lot of things that I didn’t know I needed re: female characters. She’s not pretty or talented or meek. She wants what she wants and she goes after it, but she’s not cool. I can also understand why she would leave Bam behind, even without the reveal of the whole “destiny” thing -- taking care of someone and raising someone and teaching them everything about the world, and doing it right, is a lot of work. It eats up the time and energy you have to be yourself, and here she is just finding a strange boy in a cave (or whatever happened there, seeking him out? Planning on assassinating him?) and presumably with her own dreams -- I can understand why she wouldn’t want Bam to keep clinging to her, and I can also understand why she wouldn’t be able to let him go all the way either. (And she can’t. Her speech with Kun and her expression after Bam said he understood they’d be enemies both confirm this -- but she’s sticking by her initial decision too. Rachel letting go of Bam is a long journey.)

But also. . . there are a lot of hints that the way she treated Bam sometimes was not very good. She tells him he’ll never be chosen, and that only chosen people can go up, she lies to him, she manipulates him . . . even discounting the heavy, plot stuff (pushing him to what seemed to be his death, selling him out to FUG, etc) -- and when she broke down and told him he should have been waiting for her in that cave the whole time. . . I dunno. I think on some level, Rachel was legitimately abusive towards Bam. It could be me projecting onto Bam’s character with the things I’ve been through, or it could be genuinely where SIU is going with her character, but . . . it’s still my overall impression.

(Sometimes I feel like there’s a lot of pressure if you like Bam to also hate Rachel, but somehow I can’t bring myself to do that. She’s just small and sad in a big world that she’s not ready for, and we’ve all felt like that before, right?)

all the people i ship romantically with this character

Yura, Endorssi, Kun, Hoaqin . . . normally I don’t like rival-type ships but there’s two of those. . . I think they’re more satisfying with Rachel. With Kun it’s like an understated rivalry and subtle digs back and forth, and then with Endorssi there’s a power struggle that goes back and forth pretty well despite them both having different levels of experience. . . what a strange feeling.

Yura and Rachel just seem like a really cute romance. The couple that salts together stays together or whatever. They can be bitter together without feeling guilty or judged, and I think we all kind of need someone like that in our lives.

And Rachel and Hoaqin. . . it’s femmedom. That’s all. Rachel could put Hoaqin on a leash and he’d like it. I initially wrote “secretly like it” but honestly there is not “secret” he’d just outright make dirty comments about it constantly. No one would forget it except Rachel (?). It’s fun watching someone like Hoaqin (who is probably very adamant about being In Charge in a relationship) get a bit flustered by having someone else in charge lolol

my non-romantic OTP for this character

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don’t think Rachel has any such person in her life. Maybe her relationship with Hwa Ryun? I like how Hwa Ryun is simultaneously very aware of Rachel’s mentality, but also kind of completely baffled like it. Yeah, I don’t understand Irregulars either, Hwa Ryun!

my unpopular opinion about this character

That she’s not inherently unforgivable for what she did to Bam, I guess. . . . ? I genuinely like her as a character and would probably try to befriend her if we ever met, though I don’t think she’d appreciate it lol. I also don’t think she’s as “noble” as some Rachel supporters like to make her out to be though. I think she’s a petty girl who doesn’t want to grow up, and because of that I imagine her story’s going to be harder on her than it needs to be. She causes a lot of her own suffering because of her negative outlook on things, and not because she doesn’t have a point when she says things like “Well, I got a shitty end of the stick here :/”.

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

I really hope she and Yura are able to have a happy relationship ;; I got kind of a bad feeling when Yura said “Rachel you came to save me!” though. . . like Yura might be idolizing Rachel too much, and that’ll piss Rachel off. Weird girl. . . . She doesn’t like when other people are “more special” but when she’s “special” to someone she hates that too.

Bam

how i feel about this character

Umm. . .well, we all kind of already know how I feel about Bam. . . . But I’m always okay with talking about how I feel about Bam too so like, I mean. . .

I dunno, he’s probably the character I’ve connected to the most, like. . . ever. Our experiences in life aren’t one-for-one or anything, but I can relate to the sense of being raised in isolation, and having to accept someone else’s definition of me, and being used as a tool for revenge. I can understand being put on a pedestal and then thrown from it only to be put back on the pedestal by someone else. Seeing someone else go through it meant a lot.

And. . . Bam also is accepted for a lot of traits that I’ve typically had a hard time with. Like being stubborn and a little too blunt and I dunno. And he’s quiet and reserved, and it’s just. . . really nice to have him be the hero of the story, haha.

As for the rest of my feelings. . . I’m pretty vocal about being in love with him, and sometimes I have a lot of worries because of it. But ultimately I really like being in love with him and thinking about him, so . . . it should be fine, right? I feel like I’ve been growing a lot beside him lately, and it’s kind of a good feeling. . . I’ve never really been able to grow alongside anyone peacefully haha.

That probably says bad things about me . . . . orz

It’s a little silly, but I feel safer with Bam too, like he’d protect me if he could. . . I’m gonna stop now because it’s to embarrassing to say these things /)(\

all the people I ship romantically with this character

For reasons that are pretty straightforward since I feel so strongly about him, I’m probably most picky about Bam’s relationships than anyone else. Sometimes I worry that I just dislike certain ships with him because they’re popular, etc, but . . . I do like him with Ehwa (no. 1) and Yuri (this ship only started growing on me after their reunion though. I was always a bit mystified by it’s before, but I guess a lot of people in the fandom kind of project on Bam. I mean?? Hwa Ryun doesn’t even LIKE Bam and yet Hwa Ryun and Elaine both get brought up as part of being his harem, or candidates for being “the heroine”. Tch. It’s obviously Ehwa.

Anyway, I also ship Bam with Xia Xia like that’s my big Bam rarepair is with Xia Xia. So those three for the most part :|b But sometimes I really like exploring his relationship with Rachel from a more romantic perspective too? I feel like I’m a bit of a weirdo in that department though. . . I don’t ship Bamchel from the perspective of “he and Rachel work out their differences and live happily ever after” but more in the “they had a really unhealthy borderline-abusive relationship in the past and sometimes that has romantic undertones to me” vein, and exploring that can be very cathartic for me.

I used to ship Bam/Kun but it hasn’t really had an impact on me emotionally since the end of the workshop battle. I keep hoping that they’re gonna get happier, but I can’t shake the feeling that SIU’s leading up to something v. Bad in the AA department.

Oh. . . and for some reason the idea of Bam/Hoaqin strikes me as hilarious too, but I feel like that would bother him. . . he’d definitely give me the side-eye over that. . . . .

my non-romantic OTP for this character

Everyone. Please everyone be friends with Bam he loves having friends.

my unpopular opinion about this character

He knows what sex is and how it works. :/ Everyone likes to be like “OOOOH HE’S SO INNOCENT” but like. He has a body that’s past puberty, so even if somehow miraculously absolutely 0 people every thought “hey, maybe we should give him The Talk” (Jinsung or Hwa Ryun at the very least would though? Especially since Jinsung starts of his relationship with Bam by being like “Do you want girls????”) I imagine when his body started doing that thing that bodies tend to do, he might, just maybe, have been like “So, uh. Why does my voice keep doing that -- that thing it just did it again” or like “Hey, I had this really weird dream????” And we know he was a bit of a late bloomer because literally everyone was like “but he’s so smol” on the floor of test, and then “OH he’s GROWN” after the time skip.

Like, there are physical aspects to having a body designed for sexual reproduction, and we generally pass that kind of information on to people, y’know? AND he didn’t bat an eye when Ehwa and Wangnan were being huge perverts the first time he met them, or seem at all confused when Ehwa insinuated that he’d want to have sex with her. . . . But there are people who make a big deal about how he doesn’t know aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanything about that like ? ? ?

And then there was one fic I found where it was like “Oh yeah, Bam accidentally spread rumors about him boning Jinsung because he didn’t understand this sexual slang lolol” and Bam is really clever and probably actually super good at word play? Rachel used to complain about him making games “take too long” because he wasn’t an easy opponent and did things that were unexpected . . .yeah, he’s really straightforward and single-minded but he’s also pretty good at figuring things out!

Also, I think to an extent he’s purposefully a little distant with people, but that’s not really an unpopular opinion so much as a headcanon, I guess?

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

SIU please just let Bam be happy. . . .TT-TT

More honestly, though, there’s a lot of possible directions I’d love to see Bam’s character take. Maybe that’s why I have so many selfship AUs. . . . except it’s obviously not because Bam in my selfship AUs always has pretty much the same personality and development. I can neither add more suffereing or take suffering away from him orz

But yeah, really the only thing that would upset me as far as Bam’s development is if he dies a tragic death as a martyr. I just want him to be happy. I’m content with anything as long as Bam is happy and smiles in the end

#tower of god #i have a sneaking suspicion that bam's section is shorter than wangnans #but i did it in the order that the names were and got wiped out orz #systematic-shark
