#we should follow the example of JJBA

[nums-bird]

As a bleach fan,I say this,bleach op "Shoujo S" is actually the visual representation of why every bleach character should be in a slutty pose.Although it mainly women(idk why?),I am a form believer that bleach characters are whores in nature and thus deserve to strike a sexy pose not a badass one.We should take inspiration from JJBA and make men pose sexily and dress slutily.The only man to embrace this is Mayuri Kurotsuchi and this is why he is the best among the males in Bleach.Like,not even Urahara????Have you seen him??What about Sosuke and his bedroom eyes???

Stayin' Alive

Used 'Too many beds,' from the "reverse tropes," as a prompt for this fic.

After the events of N'Doul, you stay with Kakyoin at the hospital, waiting for the rest of the group to come. While being led to the room Kakyoin would be staying in, instead of an empty room, you see... mattresses? Watch out! An enemy appears with a power able to rival your own!

"Egypt!?"

You knew you should have denied when this teen and his grandpa began raving about a hundred year old vampire who was killing the teen's mom spiritually. Of course, with the context of Stands, you were more willing to believe them; Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Muhammed Abdul, and Jean-Pierre Polnareff.

You were in the same boat as Kakyoin-- no commitment other than to Jotaro's mom, a stranger. While you knew the trip would be life threatening-- you weren't expecting a grave example.

The Emperor and Hanged Man. At first, you played your part. Minded your own business, even managed to tune out Polnareff's and Abdul's argument. You'd barely met them; you didn't want anything to do with their drama.

The whole day became one moment. You, Mr. Joestar, and Kujo stared down at Abdul's dead body. You couldn't help but feel a rattling terror and chill. You'd just met this man in Singapore, and now he was dead. Kakyoin and Polnareff were nowhere in sight.

"What--? What do we do?" You shutter.

No one said anything. Not a noise slipped out.

That day was a while ago. You still think of it-- or, well, it haunts you. Your encounter with N'Doul was arguably also terrifying. Another Stand reliant on sound? Not to mention the useless dog the team acquired. Your headphones were destroyed in that battle-- truly the biggest lost to you.

It did save you, though, temporarily.

All of this runs through your head before a doctor approaches. "Miss [L/N]?" You look up. "We are placing Mr. Kakyoin in his room. Please follow me,"

You stand and follow the moving MD. Your mind is still in a static. "Is he okay?"

"Yes, the main damage was fortunately done to his eyelids rather than his eyeballs." The doctor stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Still, there was some damage, and his eyes need to heal."

"Hey, I'm a big fan of it not being as bad as it could have been," you exhale. "How long will it take?"

You begin to see two nurses rolling a bed towards you and the doctor. It seems you are meeting Kakyoin at his room. "We estimate around two weeks,"

"Shit, two?" You look to the doctor. "That's a long time."

"Optimal for healing,"

The doctor stopped with the bed next to the door. As the doctor opened it, the bed was reoriented to fit through the door. You entered.

"What the fuck?" Bed upon beds upon beds. The room is littered with them. "Is this a storage room or what?"

"Ehm..." The doctor is also looking around the room, confused. "N-no! This is.. this is supposed to be Mr. Kakyoin's room! The key is only for this room,"

You snatch the key. "Let me see that!" You turn and compare the number on the key to the one on the door. "Doc, someone's gotta be fuckin' with you! Why are there so many goddamm beds!?" You throw the key back at the man, growing more frustrated.

"To use against you, [Y/N]~!" A voice echoed from within the beds.

You shoot your head around. "Seriously?" you groan. "Can we not get a day off?" The static was ringing now.

"Your Stand is formidable, I hear," the voice coo'd. "I was beyond elated to have been assigned to handle you and Noriaki!" The doctor was yelling in fear, backing out of the "bed" room.

"Yeah? I can tell by the way you talk, you're overcompensating," You scoff at them. "Why don't you show yourself and see how 'formidable' my Stand is!" You point at the beds, challenging the user.

"Oh, please, as much as I would love to, I also enjoy living." The voice laughed, the source being thrown around the room. "First, the battlegrounds should be in my favour!"

A loud thwap echoed around the room as each and every mattress slapped themselves against the walls of the room. One even managing to slam the door behind you. You look around, now spotting the source of the comments and mattresses.

"Cushioning the walls?" You fold your arms. "I'm guessing so when I beat you, you won't hit them so hard?"

"Don't you hear the difference already, [Y/N]?" They tapped on their ears. "I've made the room sound-proof. The noise we make doesn't bounce back, or echo-- and no noise can get in." They smiled widely.

Your eyes widened. "S-so what?" You stutter, pointing a sharp finger at them.

"So what?" They laughed loudly. "Your Stand, Ace's Wand, is entirely reliant on noises and your feelings. I also know, you don't do well without your music, so-!" They spread their arms out defiantly. "-I have made you your own personal Hell!"

"Shit," you mutter. "So what's your power? Mattress making and manipulation?"

"My Stand is Knave! It's a bit more intricate than that," they explained. "I can create objects from nothing and manipulate them as I please. Mattresses were simply the most inconspicuous object for me to make and plaster."

"Inconspicuous?" You doubted

"It got you in here, didn't it?"

"...Touché."

"Enough talk!" The Knave's wielder yelled, a sparkling object beginning to form in their hand. They launched it towards you before it was fully created.

You gasp, rolling out of the way of the brick hurdling towards you. "Ha!" You taunt, perhaps too early. "ACK--!" A strong heavy force smashes into the back of your head. The brick finally crumbled and seemingly vanished.

"Did you forget the part where I can manipulate what I create?" They snickered, another object beginning to form in their hand.

You groan from the ground, holding your bleeding head. Your vision hurts and blurs, but you're coherent enough to be pissed.

'With enough blows like that, I will forget!' You think to yourself. 'I have to try and use my Stand-- even if it'll be hard to control without music!'

You begin to stand, shakily. Another brick hurdles towards you-- this time you duck down. You summon your Ace's Wand-- partially. You hear the brick change trajectory towards you again. Waiting for the last second, you twist out of the way, allowing the brick to instead smash into the ground.

"Using your Ace to hear my moves, eh?" They hummed. "They may not do as much damage, but perhaps quieter objects will do!"

"Fuck you!" You sprint towards the enemy, almost tripping. You raise a confident fist and throw it towards them. You see them try to raise an arm in defense, but they're too slow.

Your knuckles collide into their face-- you can feel their skin wrap around your hand. With the combination of your Stand, the enemy is launched backward into a mattress.

You breathe heavily, wiping your bloody fist onto your pants. The enemy groans in pain. "I--I think--! I think I'll be better off, out of sight as well..."

"What?"

You can only watch in horror as the enemy slowly melts into the mattress, becoming one with it. 'I need to get some fuckin' music in here, fast!' Your thoughts are all you're left with along with the eerie silence now encasing the room.

You take steps to look around the room, waiting for the next attack. 'Knave creating objects doesn't have a noise.' You spin at the disturbance of air behind you. 'Throwing them rips the air-- but that same sound could be Knave coming out of a mattress... they're too similar sounding!' A flat pane of glass is already too close to you and shatters into your face.

You scream, "AUUGGH--!" the shards digging in and causing you to stumble back. 'Shit! They know what they're doing! Sending things I would hear too late to dodge!' You hover your hands over your face, trying not to touch it.

A small ring alerts you again. You shift to left and watch as a long needle of glass flies by into the wall, shattering into the mattress and disappearing. 'T-too close!' You try to think of a plan while avoiding as many of the glass knives and needles as you can.

You don't avoid them all, though. One needle tears itself through your left shoulder-- another one through the same arm. A ceiling attack rockets a needle and it embeds itself nicely into your right foot, which gives Knave the opportunity to shoot knives straight into your legs. You wail in pain and lay on the ground as comfortably as you can. There was a lot of glass in a lot of your body.

You hear the laughing of the enemy. He reappears and stands above your bloodied form. "It's hard to believe that you, the great [Y/N] [L/N], managed to defeat Yellow Temperance," they stated sarcastically. "You were clearly just lucky."

You shake your head. "I'm-- I'm not lucky," you groaned. "Luck doesn't-- augh--! Luck doesn't win battles!" You smile widely, revealing your blood stained teeth.

The enemy stares down in disgust and horror. "What does that mean!?" Now they're on high alert, looking around the room. "You have your Stand summoned! Where is it!?"

You begin to laugh finally. A loud ringing causes the Knave wielder to look up. A gaping hole in one of the mattresses reveals an intercom. "What!?" They scream, reaching up quickly.

A noise begins to emit from it, though, and the moment it does, the enemy is slammed into the ground. "Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk / I'm a woman's man, no time to talk," Now you hover above the enemy, your Stand taking on a horrifying, yet controlled, appearance.

"You are right, my Stand does rely on music," you explain. "However, my Stand isn't a short-range. It can travel up to 100 metres."

"N-no way!" The enemy cried, your Stand beginning to crush them. "Y-you were using your Stand to dodge my attacks! You couldn't have-- have used it to put music on!"

"Wrong, and correct," you smile. "I wasn't using Ace to dodge, but if I were, I definitely wouldn't have been able to put music on."

"The New York Times' effect on man,"

You begin to bob to the music. "Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother, / You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive!"

You turn around and walk away, tuning into the music as the enemy begins to scream in pain. The sounds of shredding and crunching are muted to you.

"Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive!"

The mattresses disappear as you arrive at the door. "Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive!" You open the door, the doctor and nurse standing next to Kakyoin's bed in fear.

When they look into the room, there is nothing but the dents and the splatters of blood on the floor. The Bee Gee's echo through the entire building.

"Hey, uh," you begin. "When you're done with Kakyoin, do you think you could take a look at me, doc?"

You remember the doctor nodding frantically, darkness, and then waking up in a hospital bed two metres away from Kakyoin's.

"Damn,"

***

"Oh my god!" Joseph exclaimed at you. "I didn't think a Stand user would actually attack at a hospital! Those workers of DIO really are downright diabolical!"

"Kakyoin is the most vulnerable," Jean-Pierre pointed out. "It makes sense they would want to take advantage of that and try to get him while he's down."

"I'm more surprised they were able to clock my flaws so fast," you hum quietly.

"Oh." Jotaro noised as he rummaged around his pockets for a moment. "I found a store that sold these things. It looked like the one you had before."

Jotaro reveals a pair of headphones. You widen your eyes and snatch them giddily. "They're exactly like them!" You excitedly announce. "Thank you! God, it's been Hell without my music!"

You immediately pull out your Walkman, pop a tape in, connect the headphones, and play your music. You leave one headphone on while the other rests on your head so you can still hear the team.

"All the pairs of headphones we tried to get you as replacements," Joseph began his complaint, "And all you wanted were your old ones!? I paid a lot of money to get those brand new, top-quality ones the other day!"

"I like my old ones," you shrug. "I don't like how the new ones feel on my head or ears."

You put the headphones on completely, now unable to hear Joseph and his frustrated and annoyed rant about your pickiness. You bob your head to the music and even close your eyes so as to avoid his angry hand signs.

"Music loud and women warm / I've been kicked around since I was born / And now it's all right, it's okay,"

"And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive / Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive!"

It has been a while since I have written for JJBA, and I am still not very good at writing fight scenes, so I hope you lot are able to enjoy this! Shout out to @cheesencrackersinprison for commenting on my Funkytown fic. It was actually the greatest motivation for me to write this.

Screenwriting | "Good" Dialogue

An Example of Bad Writing - Gyro Zepelli, JJBA: Steel Ball Run

One thing that I feel that my film is lacking is realistic dialogue in my scenes. As of now, when I say it out loud, everything sounds clunky and awkward. To rectify this, I did some research on writing dialogue for animation. Surprisingly, not all realistic dialogue is good, and not all good dialogue is realistic. Take for example Samuel L. Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction. He says many raucous, iconic lines that are quoted to this day, but are they necessarily lines that someone would say in real life? No. But it is still good dialogue. Why is that?

In my research, I found a few key principles that good dialogue adheres to. One thing to keep in mind is the purpose of the dialogue. What does this person want in this scene? How would their wording reflect their wants? If everyone sounded the same on a screenplay, there would be no unique auditory identity to these characters. Thus, one must create this based on several factors such as culture, personality, upbringing, and so on. An important aspect of this is a "filter". For example, if a generally happy character feels depressed, they are not going to outright say what they are feeling. Instead, they would continue speaking the way that they would normally, but other cues would give away the fact that they aren't good (body language, cynicism, etc).

This is why the infamously terrible dialogue in Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones is so bad. Anakin constantly just outright states how he is feeling, in an incredibly wooden and unnatural way. In this movie, information is exposited to the audience heavily through dialogue, and it doesn't work because it simply doesn't sound like the characters are actually talking to each other. Instead, it feels as though the characters are talking to the audience, which breaks the suspension of disbelief. Good dialogue fits information into the scene naturally. For example, take Marty and Jennifer's first interaction in Back to the Future. In very few lines, we get a sense for both of their personalities, their relationship with one another, and what is going to follow in the next scene. Good dialogue is always multifaceted, which is to say it serves many purposes in a given scene and the grander story.

On the topic of exposition, a franchise that does this right is John Wick. In the movie, Viggo educates his son as to who John Wick is, and thus opens the door for exposition. This scene works because we see aspects of Viggo's personality come through, and because he is educating his son about this person named John Wick. Both the audience and the characters are learning new and useful information. This also subverts the pitfall of boring dialogue. If Viggo was just telling this to any other character who knew who John Wick was, the scene would be less impactful, but it is because the dialogue here collides with the plot that it works.

A principle that is practiced in improv acting that works for creating good dialogue is the "yes, and..." framework. This dictates that good dialogue should seldom reveal just one piece of information. The "and..." part of the framework makes audiences more engaged as bits of information are revealed over time. This is not to say that every sentence in one's film needs to drop a large bombshell that changes everything, more so that sentences that serve more than one purpose are generally more effective than straight, direct interactions.

Cycling back to Pulp Fiction, one key element of the dialogue in this film is its interesting and unexpected nature. In real life, no one would quote the bible right as they brandished their weapons and shot a person in the head. However, it works in this film because it is not something typical. This also does not come out of nowhere. By this point, audiences are conditioned to expect this kind of behaviour from Jackson's character. Another great example of this is the seemingly random tangent about rats in the opening scene of Inglorious Bastards, which soon comes full circle as the audience realises that the Jews of World War II are being likened to rats.

While this works in some cases, overuse of this principle is detrimental to others. Once again, a film guilty of this is Attack of the Clones. Anakin Skywalker often says things that are far too flowery and poetic than they have any right to be. While the lines sound nice on paper, the audience can never buy that Anakin is saying these things. These long monologues actively hurt the characterisation of the character and thus, leave audiences less engaged.

Finally, one of the last ingredients that I found to writing good dialogue is surprisingly one that is not practiced very often. In the Pirates of the Caribbean series, there are several lines that are deemed iconic by fans of the series, most of all the infamous "Why is the rum gone?" and "You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow" lines. But why? These bits of dialogue aren't particularly special or unique, but they are instantly quotable.

Surprisingly, it is because the characters in the movie treat these lines as quotes themselves. These come in short bursts, often within scenes of each other. The line is said in one scene, a short while later it is requoted in another scene in another context and a little later that is varied upon in another scene in another context.

eg;- "You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow" -> "You will always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped."

This helps the lines stay in the minds of the audience just a touch longer, due to the nature of it being repeated. Another film that does this well is Terminator 2, with the iconic "Hasta la vista, baby." line being used twice in the film in wildly different circumstances. There are many other principles of good dialogue, but these were some of the more applicable ones to my animation that I managed to extrapolate from other films.

⭐️⭐️ and i am nominating your choice of any of my special favorite one-shots: castle down, the compromise, go places, or don't follow the light

a very tasty selection!

castle down: ahh, the doppio good end. i think this was during the period where i learned that sometimes i can just write mean things and people will still enable me, but also when i was getting a handle on exactly How i like to be mean. i have said this before but i don't like suffering for its own sake. i wanted to write a terrible situation but one that doppio can still find some meaning in? his whole conversation with giorno/GER is i think a response to the fandom idea that what we need to do for these characters is redeem them by showing them all the bad stuff and helping them realise it was bad, which is something i find very boring. we would really get into that later in bngn but i don't think doppio's issue is that he needs to understand the truth and then he'll stop caring about the person he cares about and start being a good boy, that's not how love works and that's not how a sense of self works. i liked that it's how giorno's stand thinks it should work, tho, and i've talked before about how writing doppio and giorno interacting is fun bc they have such incompatible worldviews. as the spirit of someone who grew up in a very unhealthy environment and escaped it by developing a strong personal set of principles but not forming strong emotional bonds with others, GER really is making all the worst decisions in this one. it is trying to help, even if it is largely motivated by those principles, but giorno had a very short time to learn how much value people put in their connections to others. i joke but for doppio this really is preferable to some golden peaceful jjba heaven, even if it's not the ending he really wanted. i really like his opening line in the conversation with "giorno" and the very clumsy attempts at diavoloese that follow, and of course i had a Great time with that final monologue before the loop resets.

the compromise: this fic has my favourite bookmark comment of anything i have ever written and i really do promise that i didn't notice the 'never let me go' vibes until i was already in way too deep. it is an excellent example of working well under fire i think. my feelings about separate-body AUs are well-known, i really don't find it nearly as interesting when the two of them are just two random guys who happen to meet, and this fic was me looking at the prompt and trying to find a way to work with that that i could actually vibe with. i am incredibly proud of the results, i think it's one of the best self-contained things i have ever written. i've never had so much fun writing cioccolata, but he fits perfectly into the whole uncomfortable horror aspect, and my love for combining discomfort and horror with genuine affection and very real feelings of connection is pretty blatant. just because it's awful and gross and unhealthy doesn't mean it's not real! altho this one is perhaps the most ambiguous, i wanted to imply that diavolo has absolutely done this before with other people who were in doppio's shoes. he's talking to him with the mouth and body of someone he probably was equally soft and affectionate towards, who is no longer meaningfully there in the same way that doppio will be erased (altho the ambiguity about how true that is was also very deliberate). i think, like all the best diavolo moments, he genuinely believes a lot of his own nonsense. to him he is doing something intimate and romantic and he doesn't really grasp the unsettling elements even as he is aware that it's a selfish thing. the selfishness kind of bleeds into it if anything; he loves doppio as a part of himself before he actually physically is. he'll build him his house and buy his clothes and keep his eyes and believe that this is a part of doing something kind and loving, even if he believes he has excised the person it's all for. doppio's willingness to go through with it was kind of painful even for me. there's ambiguity there about exactly why he feels so alone and empty that this seems like a significant upgrade, but again i think a big part of it is feeling loved on such a complete level and the simple answer is never gonna be that he's just wrong because bad people don't have those feelings and bad love doesn't count. he doesn't misunderstand what he's choosing and he does choose it.

go places: this is probably the closest thing to soft happy domestic fluff i have ever published, at least for these two. there's only one murder, even! for exchanges and gift events i always do try to tone things down just a smidge, because i don't want to give a stranger something weird and gross that they might not be into. honestly tho that's part of the challenge and the fun and i usually end up having to really push my other strengths, so there's a lot of descriptions and incidental details in this one that i really like and think make the whole thing very readable. there's something to be said for a couple of guys in a weird relationship being comfortable together, and i like the idea of diavolo not doing a great job of hiding himself and doppio gently folding that into the deception on his behalf anyway. and, of course i believe that was the first fic that a certain mistyped naem ever commented on, so it will always hold a special place in my wretched little heart.

don't follow the light: god seeing this one in the ask was such a trip, i don't think anyone has ever even mentioned it to me before now! not that i blame them, it is a bit of a weird little black sheep i threw together in a haze one night. i do love a bit of gore and horror and all that juicy stuff and this was really an excuse to play with those toys, but also in the context of diavolo and his stubborn refusal to learn anything from what happened to him or reevaluate himself at all. it's all one big, cruel, spiteful attack on him personally, because he was so beautiful and remarkable and they were so jealous, and he would rather teach himself to suffer with some pride and adherence to that narrative than consider what led him to that point in the first place. i did a fair bit of very fun research for some parts of this, including learning some interesting things about which are the worst ways to drown! (apparently if you think you might be at risk of drowning to death you should try to aim for salt water, which will slow the rate of osmotic bad times compared to fresh water that will suck all the salt out of your cells like a v bad cleanse, and you want water that is quite cold so that your metabolism slows right down, slowing down the rate of dying also, but not so cold that it triggers a shock response, which will kill u much much faster) (these are the kinds of useful facts you can find out if you catch me on a research binge for my terrible crimes)

[neotrances]

hi im using this post bc people want to accuse me of things for engaging in black butler despite me making multiple posts discussing how triggering it is for me bc of being a trafficking victim myself and how much i hate the author + entire carrd i made dedicated to talking about black butlers issues

you donot get to pick and choose which csa victims you care about or defend, if i am talking about the effects of abuse and discussing the issues of the show and how it relates back to my trauma i donot need to hear from people who aren’t victims that i’m “faking” my experiences etc for seeing myself in characters or that i’m “promoting” it when i constantly say i dont want people to watch or read it for the very reasons i have listed below

a link to the card with ALL of black butlers issues, tw for mentions of pedophilia, racism, and transmisogny

main points below —

• no, the show is not a porno, if it were i as a csa victim would not be able to bare watching it as the show is already triggering for me for touching on sexual abuse, a majority of the show is regular plot with unsavory parts unfortunately sprinkled in bc the creator is a freak, i view ciel and sebastian as father and son strictly and i’ve made that clear multiple times, and have blocked god knows how many people that think sexualizing kids let alone a parental relationship is ok,

• explaining the plot

• how yana toboso the creator does not understand hypersexuality or trauma responses because she’s too busy being a freak and writing for pleasure rather than caring about victims

i donot ship minors and adults i am not okay with any form of pedophilia, that includes fictional relationships, i donot tolerate pedos anywhere near me i am not ok with any form of sexual content involving minors and the bb post i do make are about the characters being a family that’s it, there are actual pedos on this site who deserve your anger, not me, and i’ve said it countless times that i donot defend or condone people that say that bc they’re victims they can ship minors with adults or make pedophilic content, csa victims such as myself are not excused from participating in pedophilia just bc they’re victims, i know this, and i despise people that use their victim status to ‘get away’ with consuming cp of any form

literally anyone that knows me knows i donot tolerate or excuse pedophilia or transmisogny and i am always completely transparent whenever watching something that needs to be discussed critically, with that being said (hopefully u actually read the links) i donot appreciate people labeling me a predator etc for literally talking about how much i hate the pedophilic undertones to the show and making a whole carrd just to discuss that in one easy to reach place, you need to watch how you speak to victims bc it’s literally disgusting seeing the way some of you talk about and discredit us, i relate to the mcs because of our shared trauma and as always i dont recommend it to people for that very reason, i never tell anyone to engage and make it a point of avoid me or at the very least black list the tag if you choose to stick around, and with that said another reminder that this is my personal blog for me and i’m gonna post what i want i’m not making another blog to post what i want bc this is my personal blog, i don’t exist for anyone but myself and i am not a “funnyman” who makes jokes all day for your entertainment, this blog is my own and belongs to me for myself

also i do not want to hear shit from blogs that post hxh, jjba, bnha etc when all of those pieces of media have the same exact issues with pedophilia, have predator authors or some being worse (like jojo for example with lynchings, pro nazi rhetoric) we are in the same exact boat, if you donot like me or me discussing the issues with black butler you donot have to associate with me, it’s that simple, we are online remember that curating your online space is a normal thing that everyone should do

again i cannot control who follows me and i do not care about notes nor do i want popularity or anything like that i donot force anyone to follow me and encourage whole heartedly to block and unfollow for whatever reason im just sick of having accusations thrown toward me as a trafficking victim when ive stated so deeply that i donot tolerate pedophilia of any kind, and that my post regarding bb are only that of a reimagined version of the characters being family and the mc getting the help he needs to recover

Long Live Life Author QNA!

Recently, I had the pleasure to interview @denn1s-lessing and @gekitoutsu-rispba about their JJBA fanpart Long Live Life! It was an honor since 3L is one of my most favorite JJBA fanparts and I always wanted to see what the behind the scenes of making it was

My Interview with @denn1s-lessing:

Q: How does the writing process for Long Live Life go?

A: We first plan out the major plot beats of all chapters (Jocelyn discovering the Crest of Stone, for example) and write down the events and how they play out. Then we figure out how to best and most naturally connect each scene with one another, keeping in mind things like characterization, character development, where the location is and so on. It's like painting; first you make the rough sketches for what's supposed to be there, then refine them until you're ready to paint the whope piece. We also do chapter summaries, but while they're quicker the chapters don't come out as good as the ones where we used the other method.

Q: Do you and Rispba have any inspirations?

A: Mh, I can't really speak for Rispba but I *did* notice that she takes some inspiration from magical girl anime for character design. As for me, I am inspired by the art movement of realism and pirandellian philosophy (Luigi Pirandello, an italian playwrighter). Another inspiration for me is Valerio Massimo Manfredi and DeAndrè's music. Along with that, I draw from my real-life experiences. Sure, I never had to play an intense scopa match or got slapped by a spirit, but I *did* go through some rough patches in my past.

Q: Who is your favorite character to write for?

A: I really love writing Calliope! She's a pretty strong woman who knows what she wants, plus she's sassy and direct, something not many kids have unfortunately. She's also my favoruite character, along with Erina and Matteo! Stands like Whitesnake and Prosciutto (Yeah he's not EXACTLY a Stand but for convenience's sake) are fun too, altough they are more on the quiet and contemplating side

Q: What's the process of making up a original stand?

A: The process is quite simple, quick and straighfoward: we come up with powers and a name (usually placeholders, but then those placeholders stick), then stats if it's a recurring Stand and assign it to a character, or come up with a new one. We don't give much thought as we should when it comes to developing Stands, since we tend to focus more on the character and what they do with it.

Q: Do you have the full story of Long Live Life planned out (have an ending in mind for it)

A: yes! We planned out the whole story and went through different plots before we set on one we liked. it's how we like to do fanfiction: plan EVERYTHING out before posting anything, so things will be streamlined. Doing the opposite is a common mistake (or feature, call it what you want I'm not telling you what to do) in the fanfiction I've read, along with a few shows too. The old Long Live Life story followed that principle and it suffered from it severely

Q: Was Jocelyn always meant to be a child or was she older when you first started drafting the story?

A: She was always meant to be a little kid! Though if you're interested in seeing her all grown up, an adult version of her appears in the story's epilogue.

Q: What scene was the most challenging to write for?

A: the hardest thing to write was Duran's fight, Piazza in Vita Morta. Duran for some reason gave us (both here and in the old 3L) a lot of trouble, he was the biggest roadblock. Now we passed that roadblock though and so far we're doing quite alright. There is a lot happening in that chapter, it's incredibly dense and long, with many elements present. To call it chaotic is to underestimate it. That scene was so far the hardest thing to write, again, and I'm glad that's over with.

Q: How do you choose the music references?

A: We pick the first song that we think of, we don't worry about the music references

Q: Once Long Live Life is done, do you plan on making more JJBA fics?

A: Yes! We are working on a sequel story called Wind of Melodies, where Sid's son and a few of his friends (plus an old face) join Eurovision :) we'll expand magic in there too. it's going to be awesome, trust me!

My interview with @gekitoutsu-rispba

Q: I heard that you were the one to come up with the idea for Long Live Life! What inspired you to make a JJBA fanpart?

A: Honestly, I don’t work well in the realm of major, canon characters. I prefer to make up my own stories that use the rules of a certain universe, but not necessarily the main characters. And a fanpart was a perfect outlet for that kind of thinking

Q: You mainly write the action scenes, and I was wondering what the writing process for them is?

A: Honestly there isn’t much of a process? I just do the fights based on who’s there and where they are- a fight in an apartment, for example, requires different strategies than a fight in a public plaza. I do try to keep things even between both sides until the point where the story needs to continue.

Q: Who writes the most, you or Dennis?

A: Dennis, by far. I try to do what I can but I’m working full-time and often feel burnt out by the end of my shifts.

Q: Have a personal favorite chapter so far?

A: The panic station chapter! It was a fun change of pace and a nice breather chapter.

Q: How do you come up with the designs for the characters?

A: I wanted 3L to have a different feel than regular JoJo, so I used a different point of reference- street fashion instead of haute couture. I do tend to keep characters powers, personalities, and various other things in mind, but normally it does boil down to what looks good on them.

Q: If you were able to rewrite some chapters of 3L, what would you change?

A: Honestly I feel like this whole thing was a rewrite of our original idea and there’s a lot of little things I considered changing before publishing. Ultimately, however, I’m proud of what we’ve written so far.

Q: How long have you been writing fanfic for?

A: Not long, actually, this is my first work I’m seeing through to the end. I have lots of ideas but can feel very insecure about execution.

Q: Dennis told me that you'll be making a sequel to 3L. Is that still in the planning phase or is the story already laid out?

A: It’s kind of in the middle ground. We have characters and a plot laid out but nothing is absolutely set in stone and probably won’t be until we get closer to 3L ending

Q: Do you have a favorite character in 3L?

A: That’s like asking me to choose between my children tbh but joss has the most personal connection to me so I’ll go with her

Q: How did you get into JJBA?

A: Honestly it’s been a long time so I don’t remember exactly how but I know it had something to do with all of the music references (I’m a sucker for a good reference)

Thank you again @denn1s-lessing and @gekitoutsu-rispba for letting me interview you! Also, check out @hopeful-mothwings to see my interview!

𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗰 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁

Hello stranger! Welcome to my blog and to my pinned post, in this case. You are probably reading this because you are stalking me or considering to follow me (if you are not you should consider it y'now?), so keep reading. Also if you see this on your dashboard this works better on the "web" blog I don't know how to say it. Like, when you go to the url.com that thing. So go, what are you waiting for?

I'll put a cut because this is infinite. I don't want you to be scrolling till death if you don't want to read. I recommend reading it though. Well, if you're already a mutual you don't have to.

𝓑𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓬 𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓪

First off, you can call me Kat! I have my name in the blog title but anyway, it could be useful.

Any pronouns. I'm agender and I don't have preferences for pronouns, so as you like, I don't really mind.

English is NOT my first language, expect a lot of mistakes. I usually check a couple of times what I post, but sometimes I'm too lazy to do it. This post is the best example (I'm not checking and I won't do it).

I get bored easily. That's it that's the point.

I don't know what else to put here, I'm a dumb bitch. What do people even put on these? I'm just improvising, sorry.

𝓐𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓶𝔂 𝓫𝓵𝓸𝓰

Surprise! I don't know how to draw, I don't know how to write and I don't know how to communicate with people! Have I mentioned that my English sucks? No? Well, there you have, then.

I can't be on two fandoms or like two shows at the same time (in this case), so don't expect me to post about anything else that isn't JoJo's. Also, expect tons of shitpost or me just talking about things that happen to me.

Every now and then I post something interesting, but not that much. My two most popular posts are an Araki drawing of Caesar and Joseph and a comment on TikTok about Stardust Crusaders and how fucking sad it is.

I used to talk a lot about DIO. Now I don't do it much, but just wait till I rewatch Stardust Crusaders. My gallery is filled with pics and videos of DIO, just you wait.

Caejose is my current brainrot, but I don't post much about it because I suck at headcanons. I think about old Caesar in Stardust Crusaders a l o t, but I just imagine specific scenarios, so that's why I don't post them (oh shit I just had a déja-vu).

I sometimes post about my dreams, when I'm not too embarrassed of them. I once dreamed with Abbachio poledancing, another one with Bucciarati and me in a jacuzzi and the last one I had I was hiding with Caesar in some secret place, I don't remember the context. My dreams are elite I don't care what y'all say.

I love tag and ask games, so feel free to tag me. I'm bored 80% of the day. If you like you can leave a random ask, I don't mind. Actually, I like random asks. Do it.

Also, I have like "sections" of my blog, like tags. "Kat draws" where I... post my sketches???, "Kat is mad" where I just post random stuff I'm mad at, "Kat kats"... I don't know what this is about it's me in my most pure state, that's why it's called "kats". I had to invent a verb.

If you see this tag ":]" on a post (most likely to be sth about DIO), hell is going to unleash on the rest of the tags. You can check it for yourself just by searching it on my profile.

Everyone is welcomed here and I want y'all to feel safe on my blog, unless...

𝓓𝓸 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽...

(I have to fix this part but it's 1 am I'll do it tomorrow ig)

If you are or support proshippers, this is not your blog, I'm sorry. I'm not comfortable with you around here.

If you are TERF/rad-fem. I don't share your ideals, sorry. I'm not comfortable with you around here either.

If you are or support pedophiles, racist, homophobic, transphobic people. Don't be an asshole please, open your eyes.

I want this to be a safe place for everyone and you are a threat to my goal.

𝓕𝓾𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓷𝓯𝓸 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓶𝓮

Well, you can skip this, this will be long.

I'm dumb af, you can notice in many of my posts but it's important to get this clear before starting.

I'm a minor. I don't mind adults interacting as long as they aren't weird and aren't mentioned in my do not interact. Thank you.

Sometimes I'm too friendly, but please do not misundertand my words. I'm aro and I don't want any relationship. Sorry if you're uncomfortable with how I talk, just tell me and I'll stop.

I think I'm funny but I'm not.

I don't know how to communicate with people. I don't even know how to do it in my mother language, I don't know what you are expecting from me. I'd love to talk to you if you want though, I just suck and I'll probably run out of things to tell after 2 minutes of chatting.

I vent sometimes, but just trivial things. I think I do not have any TW to put like, in the general blog. If it is one, I'll put it on the specific post.

I get obsessed over a specific series, anime or book and I stick with it for months. In that time, I can't watch any other series or anime that isn't the one that I'm obsessed with at the moment. Right now I'm on my JJBA obsession.

Also, I've just watched the anime parts. I would start reading the manga, but I'm waiting for the Stone Ocean anime release. I don't know if I could wait til then though.

My personality type is INTP in MBTI and 5w4 in Enneagram. I was True Neutral in Alignment but I did the test on January. I have to do the tests again. By the way I know this tests aren't 100% accurate but it's the unstoppable need to try to know myself that keeps me inspiring me to do them on repeat, don't mind me. Annnd because I'm too lazy to read all the personalities one by one.

I don't know if anyone wants my Discord, but here it is anyways:

sakima#2527

I usually forget things a lot so expect a bunch of "I was going to say/complain about something but I forgot what it was".

I had more things to put on here but I forgot so this section will be constantly updated.

𝓚𝓲𝓷𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓱𝔂

Again, the unstoppable need to know myself. Here's my kinwheel:

If you don't know how this works, in the centre is my main kin, then medium or highkey kins and lastly, the lowkey ones.

Get my blood sucked by DI- Oh no I shouldn't say this publicly sorry

That's it that's the section.

Recommend books and songs thank you

I think that's it by now. Thank you for doing it this far! Now, can we be mutuals? Or besties maybe? I don't have much to offer, but here is my visual representation:

If you want to know about my JJBA opinions search the tag #jjba 30 day challenge. I left it on day 6 but I'll continue soon. I promise.

Well, now's definitely over. I hope you see me as a cool person because that's my goal in life. Also, I'm praying for this shit to work well on my blog, this ain't Amino.

Have a nice stay! Thank you for making it this far. And remember: you're cool, you're loved and you matter. Take care of yourself please. See ya.

Kat out ;)

Why Steven Universe Future feels off (WARNING: BIG POST)

(This post was made when only the first 4 episodes were out)

Table of contents:

1. Intro and explanation

2. A new show

3. So much to do in such little time

4. The end of arcs

5. The plot?

6. Other little bits

7. Conclusion

1. Intro and explanation

So I want to make it clear before I dive into this right of the bat that I honestly truly love Steven Universe with all my heart. It is easily my favorite show of all time and has influenced and affected me in so many positive ways beyond just enjoyment of the show.

That being said I (and the person I was watching it with) felt that something just felt a little... off for Steven Universe Future. It just didn’t feel quite right, and didn’t grip me nearly as much as as the original show or the movie. Now maybe it’s because of my experience in both film and writing and my desire to understand what makes my favorite things tick, I couldn't just let it go and decided to really dig deep into what it is that makes it feel so different and I think I figured out some of the reasons as to why.

I haven't seen too many people talk about it on here and though that maybe it was just me. Most people on here seem to enjoy the show with no problems and if that's you then great! please don’t let me take that away from you, just ignore this post and move on if you don’t want to see me dig deep into it, I honestly hate being a fun killer/ buzz kill on these things but I asked a few days ago if I should make this post and a couple of people said they were interested so here we are.

And yes I know this post is excessive but I have a lot to say on the matter, also understand this is not a post bashing on the show or calling it “bad”, it’s just an insight into what makes the show tick and how it differs to the original show (and the movie)

With all that being said, let’s jump into the first major thing.

2. A new show

Ok, so this one kind of goes without saying, but yeah Steven Universe Future is a new show. It’s not season 6, it’s a new show and as a result I think it’s only natural for the creators to want to try and emphasize that fact by giving it a different feel.

They accomplish this with a lot of subtle things but I think that it’s likely done intentionally in order to differentiate itself from the original series. Now do I think it was a good idea to change the overall feel of the show in order to separate it form the original? ehhhh not exactly... It would make more sense if it really was a different show, but you literally can’t understand anything that happens in SUF without watching the original show in almost it’s entirety, so eh.

That being said you could argue they wanted to try a new feel just to mix it up after working on the original for so many years and I guess I can get that.

This is a fairly weak point overall, however I wanted to start with the lighter stuff before getting into the big bois.

3. So much to do in such little time

Again, this one may be kind of obvious for some but it honestly feels like that some of the episodes either really should have been longer or deserve to have a whole arc around them.

I’m talking especially about ‘Rose buds’ and ‘Volleyball’. Both of these episodes feature some pretty heavy themes and ideas that in the original show could easily be the focus of an entire 4 episode long arc each.

But here they have put everything into just the one episode, cramming it all in and constantly hitting us with big ideas and surprises. Not saying the episodes are paced badly, just that I think that these ideas really could have and perhaps even should have had way more time to be explored and expanded.

For example in ‘Rose buds’ there are so many moments that could easily be their own episodes if given the chance:

The ‘Zoomans’ learning to pilot the zoo

Greg and Steven reuniting with the Zoomans

Bringing the zoo to earth

The Zoomans reacting to earth

Freeing the Rose Quartzes

Greg reacting to the Quartzes

Pearl reacting to the Quartzes

Do you see what I mean? they could each be an episode in the original show, but here it’s all just one episode and as a result it feels like it goes by too fast, we don’t get as much time to react and take it all in, to absorb it all. Instead with it all being in one episode it weirdly devalues these moments as just an almost throw away one off episode.

It’s still a good episode, don’t get me wrong but I really do wish that the concepts within it were given more time to breathe.

4. The end of arcs

Ok, now we are getting into bigger stuff. So tell me, did Amethyst and Pearl seem a little different to you? Almost a little too... complacent? Like they didn’t quite react the way you would expect them to? Well that’s because of their character arcs.

In a story, character arcs are very important to making characters interesting and likable, It’s essentially the transformation from what the character was like at the beginning to what they become at the end. Typically through these arcs, characters confront their weaknesses and issues, they tackle their flaws and eventually overcome them.

Now the character arcs in Steven Universe are amazing and I love them, but they have one problem: they are done.

The things is, by the end of ‘Change your mind’ the main crystal gems and even Steven to an extent had been through so much and had confronted all of their biggest flaws and demons that they all just completed their arcs and ended the story as their best selves.

Then in the movie they do something super clever by reverting them all back to default and we get to see how far their arcs have taken them and how much they have changed, it’s simultaneously a brilliant way of addressing their arcs and tying into the theme of change and growing stronger, it’s honestly inspirational from a writing perspective for me.

But then we get to future... where they don’t get the novelty of being rest to zero here, instead they have continued on from where we left them as their perfect selves.

Now I’m happy for the characters, it’s really nice to see them all happy living their best lives, but having flaws as I said helps the characters be relatable and continually interesting, but they really don’t address them here, as... well they’re over it.

Again, in ‘Rose buds’ our old Pearl would have absolutely freaked out at the sight of the Roses, or probably be really mentally scared and messed up... but not here. Here she has gotten over Rose, and while she is still made uncomfortable by the Roses, she is nowhere near as messed up as she could have been once upon a time. It’s nice to see her change so much but it feels off to us now, that’s not how the Pearl we knew would react, and that’s why it feels weird.

5. The plot?

So this is the biggest bit that honestly bothers me the most because I’ve seen other media do the same things and it’s upsetting to see Steven Universe fall into it but, as of right now Steven Universe Future does not have a plot.

I know, I know, that’s a crazy statement to make but hear me out. A plot is an incredibly basic thing that helps bring everything together and to get audiences invested. A plot is essentially made by a goal, the goal does not need to be complicated, it just needs to be something that drives the story along.

In Star Wars, the plot is essentially for the heroes to stop the Empire, It’s pretty broad but it’s still a plot and a goal for the heroes.

In infinity train the main character wants to get off the train and get home.

In JJBA: Golden Wind, Giorno wants to become the boss of the mafia.

In Steven Universe (original series) Steven wants to learn about his gem powers and the crystal gems want to defeat and bubble all the corrupted gems.

And in Steven Universe Future, Steven uh he’s trying to uh... live.... life...?

See what I’m saying here? There is no goal, there is no plot, the story hasn't really started yet, we as an audience don’t have much to hold onto story wise to keep us invested.

“But what about Steven’s new pink powers?” I hear you say. While yes this will very likely tie into the main story at some point, as of right now it’s just a plot thread waiting to be picked up. The main thing is that none of the characters are really following that thread right now, it’s just a thing that’s kind of happening while other stuff is going on.

Imagine if instead of just going “huh cool a new power!” Steven actually went out of his way to pursue this now power and find out what it is, giving him a goal. Or hell even telling the crystal gems about it and giving them something to do, then you can say with confidence that:

‘Steven Universe Future is about Steven trying to find out about his new powers”

Simple as that, but unfortunately as of right now this is not the case.

Like the episodes wouldn’t even have to be all that different, it would just help to know that we had an overall goal in mind and the rest could carry on as usual, just like it has many times in the show.

I am 100% confident that it will become a plot point, but as of the first 4 episodes so far it hasn’t been properly established yet and as a result the episodes feel like they are missing something, it just feels like a slice of life story, but with really intense and interesting ideas, and ultimately, just feels off.

6. Other little bits

This next part is just a list of little random things that are ultimately inconsequential and don’t deserve their own points but might contribute into the overall ‘off’ feeling of the show.

The music does not quite feel to have that Steven Universe charm (Idk about this myself I’m not a music person as much as the person I watched it with who pointed it out.

No musical numbers yet (again a small thing but you think there would be one by now?)

Voice acting a bit off? (could just be me but that sound a little strange, as if they have a new voice director (maybe they do idk))

Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl (they haven't really all been in a scene together yet which feels weird as they always used to be together)

Some character models seem off (probably just me but sometimes characters like Pearl just seem weird in some shots idk)

Steven isn’t quite as jovial? (this is likely intentional for where is character is going, but it’s important to point out as it’s intentionally made to make the viewer feel off about him)

There is likely more that I might add later.

7. Conclusion

So these are the reasons I’ve found that Steven Universe Future might feel a little off from the rest of the show (and movie) It’s entirely possible that you won’t agree with me on anything here and that's fine, these were just my findings and an attempt to rationalize why I feel this way about the show.

Please believe me when I say I want nothing more than for this show to be just as good as the original show if not even better because I honestly love the SU franchise so much. That’s why I made this post, because I want it to be the best that it can be and these are the things that I feel might be holding it back.

Honestly so many of these things are easily addressable and very likely will be! Although my personal prediction is that the actual ‘plot’ won’t properly start until the end of episode 10 as the description for these episodes seem like they are going to be along the same lines as the first 4 eps.

Either way I will be happily watching as the new episodes come out as nothing can stop me from loving Steven Universe at this point, the show has already done so much for me and I will forever love it for that <3

Requiem of Love

Hello everyone! I have a Valentine's Day story for you guys. Please know that there will be minor spoilers in this story involving JJBA's Part 5 Golden Wind. So read at your own risk!

A Stand new to it's sentience and state of being is very lonely. Luckily there is a very friendly Dragon Type Pokemon who can help him.

Golden Experience Requiem, the Requiem Stand of Giorno Giovanna born from his previous Stand Golden Experience and the Stand Arrow. A godlike stand with the power to result anything he sole chooses to '0'. Gravity, death, time are nothing to this Stand's power. Yet, solitude was something GER couldn't defeat. Just like his user, GER was very lonely. To now being able to properly experience emotions and consciousness was overwhelming especially with no one to help you convey it. Giorno being the Boss of a powerful Italian Mafia had its perks but not when it came to relationships of any type outside of it. Combined with the fact that he didn't want Giorno to find out he was fully sentient now.

It was even much worse for GER since no one could see him except for Stand Users and to be seen by a Stand User is the means of getting attacked. He didn't want to bother his user about his own loneliness so GER used the time he could to wander when he wasn't needed. Nature and the world fascinated him but one thing he could never really understand were bonds other people share. If he was honest, GER envied humans for they can see each other without it being declared an attack in his case and had more experience in emotions than he did.

He hated feeling alone and wanted someone's company, any type of company would do. He just wanted someone to talk to. Just once. Then came another day of wandering for him. GER decided to go to one of the parks near Naples. This specific park was often abandoned lying next to a heavily forested area practically teeming with life alongside a clear riverbed. He floated his way to the park to only catch a very strange sight in the form of a peculiar animal. What he was seeing shouldn't exist for GER could compare this creature to something of myth and legends, a dragon.

Dragons were mythical serpents of great power and came in many shapes and forms. Flight, breathing fire, wisdom bearing or to protect hoards of treasures being done examples of dragons or their depicted behaviors. The one he was seeing had the appearance of a large bipedal lavender kangaroo in form and stood around 10 ft in size. The underbelly of the reptile like creature being a nice dark violet, 2 horns that were curled by the ends, the body rotund and covered in some sort of slime, a large tail that was curled at the end almost like a snail shell, small antenna on the head, green spots by the side of the face and tail, strong legs to hold its body, slender arms and bright green eyes filled with warmth.

The word GER was thinking about to describe this strange creature was actually quite simple and easy. 'Adorable.' The gold gilded Stand watched the beast as it sat in the field apparently making flower crowns from the nearby flowers. It appeared quite docile and friendly in nature from what he was observing. "Goodra...Goodra…" The dragon hummed voice bubbly like champagne but clearly revealing the gender to GER from the sound and tone. 'This creature is a female.' The stand thought when it noticed a soft breeze fluttered by them. It didn't bother him but it apparently was strong enough to send an unfinished flower crown from the dragon's claws into the air to the female's horror from her gasp.

He didn't know why he did it without thinking but GER had instinctively grabbed the flower crown before it could fly too far away. It didn't take a genius to know the dragon had spotted him from her eyes widening alone. "Goo…" The dragon spoke in awe not by the caught flower crown but who had caught it. A golden marionette like male that seemed to be crafted beautifully in how unique it was.

Ladybug ornaments decorating the legs and arms, green areas that highlighted the tendons, a purple spade emblem on the chest and head, pink cloth wrapped delicately around the waist, a crown like head that made the being seem regal almost like royalty, nose area thinned in a peculiar way and bright magenta eyes that despite no eyelids easily mesmerized the dragon from their unique hue. Though for a second, she could see what looked like loneliness in them.

GER softly descended to the dragon and handed her the flower crown. "You dropped this." He spoke as the dragon took it with a bright smile before the stand found himself in a surprise hug. Her scale skinned was surprisingly soft and smooth like a marshmallow and the layer of slime made it feel even softer. He wasn't uncomfortable by the hug but his master Giorno was sure to look for answers. She let him go as a soft thin layer of slime was stuck to him. "Goodra! Thank you!" The dragon spoke surprising GER a bit that she could actually speak. She was clearly more intelligent than he thought.

"I haven't seen you before. My name is Velvet, I'm a Goodra." Velvet introduced herself with a small smile. Goodra? Aptly named for her appearance and the coat of slime now glistening his gold body. "Golden Experience Requiem. I am a Stand." GER answered with his near monotone voice that didn't have much life to it like Giorno's. "Golden Experience Requiem, a nice name despite it being quite a mouthful. How about I call you Gold for short? Because you clearly have a heart of gold for helping me." Velvet asked wagging her tail happily. GER couldn't help but feel touched by her kindness. Was this gratitude?

It wasn't something he never experienced before by others. Giorno was kind to him but the stand unnerved others with his appearance including Giorno's friends. Yet this... Goodra, Velvet wasn't bothered not even a tiny bit. GER knew she wasn't a Stand for he would have felt the energy that his own kind emitted, Stand Energy. Plus her user would have ordered an attack by now. Nonetheless... "You may call me Gold." And that was how GER had found a new routine and his very first friend. He went to the field the next day to find her sunbathing by the riverbed. Apparently the Goodra lived in the woods by it and often going down to make flower crowns or fish in the river leading to the Stand to visit her whenever he could and chat.

She told him she had a partner named Mana who was her trainer. Trainers holding a role similar to a Stand User but very different from what he heard. Apparently Mana and her somehow found themselves in Italy with no clear explanation on how they got there. They just woke up one day in the field without a clue. There were others like Velvet with Mana as the duo weren't the only ones who ended up in Italy together since her trainer was on a special trip with all their friends.

Velvet never even once questioned or was bothered by his visits. In fact the Goodra was quite happy every time he did. He piqued her 'fancy' as she called it and the Stand was refreshing to talk with. Though she limited her hugs since telling her about his two way connection with Giorno. She did ask what kind of person his user Giorno was like personality wise but never asked anything she felt would be uncomfortable for him to talk about. He didn't mind telling her about Giorno though.

On how Giorno was inspiring, charismatic and kind to those he considered friends and even family amongst his gang. Or how sadistic, vengeful and merciless he could be enacting justice on the ones who dare harm what he treasured. Velvet was quite enamoured and didn't fear from telling him about her own trainer.

"Mana is a very sweet and kind person. When she went on her first journey, she chose me to be her first partner when I was just a little Goomy. A Goomy, the weakest dragon type, chosen to be her true partner, sister in battle. Despite the times we lost a battle or when I messed up she cheered me on believing we can get better and stronger to overcome the odds. In fact, she believed in everyone on her team and helped us improve where we were at our weakest. To her, we are family and if someone tried to harm us… She fought tooth and nail for our sake with as much viciousness as an angry Gyarados and the strength of a Regigigas. She even scared off a pack of angry Ursaring for us!" Being Velvet's words on her own trainer.

Despite not knowing what a Gyarados, Regigigas or Ursaring were, he could tell they were things that were no joke in power or ferocity. Mana sounded just the kind of person his user Giorno was. Maybe both of them should meet each other. Something Velvet easily agreed enough that she came up with a clever plan to discuss with him. It didn't take long to put it into action either.

GER manifested himself into his user's office. Giorno, the young man with golden hair braided in the back and three donut curls in the front, soft light green eyes, elegant and beautiful face and lean body covered in a two piece pink suit with a heart shaped opening in the chest, was working deeply in his paperwork. He tapped on the blonde's shoulder pulling the Italian out of his work to gaze at the marionette. "Is something wrong, Golden Experience?" Giorno questioned with his voice soft and filled with a bit of concern.

GER didn't answer but instead tapped a piece of paperwork. The paper turned into a calico cat and took off out of the office to Giorno's dismay. "Golden Experience Requiem!" Giorno's cried out getting out of his chair to chase the document now turned cat. GER had a miniscule smirk on his face before following the golden blonde. It was now up to Velvet to bring her trainer Mana.

Giorno chased the calico weaving through the crowd of people without losing sight of the cat. The quick feline led him to a field he didn't recognize but GER sure did as the fur ball finally stopped. The cat reverted back to paper as the golden blonde didn't hesitate to glare at his stand. "What was that all about?" He questioned voice thick in his Italian accent. A feminine cry had grabbed his attention as GER was pleased at what he saw.

Velvet came running on all fours with what looked like a sketchbook in her mouth and behind her was a shouting girl around Giorno's age. She had long silver in a braided ponytail, ocean blue eyes and light peach skin wearing a violet open coat, black shirt, blue jeans, a strange white bracelet, a collar with a peculiar rainbow colored stone and crimson dancing shoes. "Velvet! Give me back my sketchbook!" The trainer GER could figure was Mana cried out.

Velvet sidestepped her trainer leaving Mana to accidentally slam into Giorno's body knocking them both down. Velvet took the sketchbook out of her mouth and giggled at the misfortune of her trainer. "I'm so sorry…" Mana said as her eyes laid on Giorno and she was enamoured by his face. "Scusa signorina…" He spoke trying not to stutter from looking at Mana as the two helped each other up.

They soon turned to face their respective partners and Mana immediately understood the situation. "Velvet, did you plan this? I know how much of a clever girl you are and you aren't exactly normal when it comes to introducing someone." Mana questioned eyeing her Goodra. "I think both of them were behind this. Golden Experience Requiem is never straight forward when he wants something." Giorno's stated eyeing his Stand suspiciously.

"Goodra!" Velvet cried out happily before hugging Gold. Mana was surprised as she saw the same impressions appear on Giorno's clothes like he was getting hugged instead of the gold marionette. "I think these two are more acquainted with each other than we thought. Goodra don't hug just any person. They only hug those they are close to and this looks a bit... intimate." The young woman said a bit overwhelmed on how fast things were appearing to get.

"I believe you are right. This feels like the same type of hug I felt before, substance and all. Pardon my bad manners. Buongiorno, my name is Giorno Giovanna. That is my Stand, Golden Experience Requiem." Giorno's introduced with a polite bow. "Alola! My name is Mana Tempo and that is my Goodra, Velvet. I guess they both wanted us to meet each other badly since Velvet ran off with my prized sketchbook." Mana said with a bit of a chuckle.

"Si. Golden Experience took off with an important document of mine. Do you want to go somewhere to talk in private considering the position our partners are currently in." Giorno's questioned pointing at the gold marionette who was being cuddled lovingly by the lavender dragon. Mana couldn't help but smile at how cute the scene was.

And that's it! I tried to add a read more link here but I couldn't. Mobile app sucks when it comes to this. Velvet and GER meeting was a way for both their human partners(if you want to ship the Pokemon with the Stand then go ahead. 😆😘🤫😂)

Until next time everyone! Have a delightful Valentine's Day!

On JJBA/JoJo Discourse

Just a summary of my thoughts so far. Last post on in for now, but if you have questions don’t hesitate to ask. (Warning: trigger, noncon, lgbt-phobia, aged-up)

1. The idea of a block list and intentions behind it, aren’t necessarily bad. I want to believe people are decent until proven otherwise. If you are concerned about triggering or disturbing content in your fandom, and want to do something about it, that’s a great attitude to have. We need people that are willing to stand up for those who are too afraid to speak or aren’t given a voice. What bothers me (and other users) is the way the idea was executed (more on 3). 

2. I do believe people sharing the list are acting like a hive-mind, BUT I also understand why you are doing it. If someone gave me proof of predators or dangerous people, I’d want to share it too, so others can be safe. But the way the list was compiled had no safety-checks, and the meaning of some “crimes” was redefined to include content that doesn’t belong in it. Did you actually go through 270+ (and the list is growing) blogs to verify the claims? If you checked a blog and found disturbing content, please do block. Sharing information on predatory content that you are sure about, is a good idea. On the other hand, sharing a list of over 270 blogs (and growing), that you won’t even check, is not. What if users ended up there due to mistakes, malice, misinterpretation of tags, or triggering content (that while some of you may dislike, it’s not a crime. Should we publicly shame all horror writers, because they write disturbing shit?)? Are you willing to take the burden of defamation and possible harassment these users will get? You are complicit now. Your followers trust your authority when you share/reblog something, You can’t escape responsibility. I do understand that wanting to protect others takes priority. But do use commonsense with what you share. Because sharing itself is a statement you make. (And yes, commonsense is something you learn.)

3. The execution of the idea was poor. That’s my main beef with the list. 

Let’s start with the administrative part. The list is owned by 8 people. This means they are immune to criticism, while everyone else gets shit. It is true that people could report to them (the block-list blog) about problematic users. But what makes you think they won’t be biased, since they control who goes in, and hide themselves? In fact, they declared genderbending as a crime (problematic maybe? but a crime?). And one of the 8 runs an Abbacchio/Bruno genderbend blog. They are not on the list. Isn’t it ironic? 

Once a user/blog is in, there’s no way out. No feedback, no appeal. Do mistakes and misunderstandings never happen? Today they did say that the way out of “jail” is to publicly apologize and delete harmful content. Again, if one was added by mistake, misunderstanding, or malice, what do you have to apologize for? So they can say they got you, and you must be guilty by admitting to it. There's no guarantee they will delete your blog name from the list. These 8 people think they have the right to judge an entire fandom. And that they themselves are beyond judgement. Nowhere in their blog (so far) do they admit to the possibility of making mistakes.

Here's a better way to deal with problematic content in the fandom: use a format (list, platform, forum, whatever) that gives everyone equal access and stakes. We could actually have a discussion that way, about what's problematic and needs to be tagged, and what is unforgiven.

Now for the content of the crimes themselves. There may be people advocating for fucked up stuff in that list, and in that case, you should stay away from them. No one is saying every blog is innocent. However, based on blogs I follow and the names of the crimes, a lot is just triggering content (LGBT-phobia, incest, noncon, aged-up characters, shipping teens together, etc). The debate about when and if fiction/art should include such topics is ongoing; and there are good arguments to be made on both sides. Context is very important. Is the work or piece of art advocating for it, or just exploring boundaries, or even speaking against it? Blanket-censoring everyone that produces triggering content won’t solve much. Also, just because something can be explored in fiction/art, doesn’t mean it’s okay IRL, and that the author condones it. 

A lot of the crimes were pejorative blanket-statements including and redefining a lot of content or tags. For example, noncon/rape included works with rough-sex or what can count as “rape fantasies”. You know how fucked up it is when people say that because someone has rape fantasies, they are okay with rape? Again, a lot of it is about exploring something risky in safe ways. Roleplaying “noncon” with someone you trust, with agreed boundaries, and consent involved (and withdrawn at anytime) is not the same as rape. Aged-up was added under “nsfw with minors”, and it’s not the same thing. Is grown-up Jotaro in part 4 a crime, since he’s aged-up from part 3? I do understand that a lot of these tags are controversial. Actual sexual harassment can be passed for noncon/dubcon roleplay. Or actual content advocating for nsfw with minors can pretend it’s just aged-up (the character still looks and acts like a child. Miss me with the 100 year-old lolis in anime and manga). 

A solution that works (to some extent) has been tagging, which a lot of people do. Granted, if a blog isn’t tagging their content well, reach out to them. But people themselves can block a blog that writes content they don’t like, or block tags they don’t want to see. What is the point of putting every controversial tag (and anyone who writes/draws about them) on a public shame list?

Whomever made the list may have had good intentions, but they do need to admit they fucked up in the execution step. Instead, their current attitude (as it is written on their blog) is there were no ways mistakes were made, and everyone in there is guilty (the audacity!). Also, let’s publicly shame everyone, since some of them may actually be bad people.

Vento Aureo Reread, JJBA Ch. 440-447

Last year, I watched/read the entirety of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure up to that date.   It went pretty well, except I had some difficulties with Part 5.  I read Vento Aureo in March 2017, and a proper translation wasn’t completed until several months later.   For the most part, I managed to follow the story, but I had a hard time enjoying it.   The fight scenes in JoJo really depend on a clear view of the art, combined with precise narration.   So a badly translated, low-resolution scan is going to make things tough. 

In hindsight, I suppose I could have just waited for the translators to finish, but I had no idea how long that would take, and I had quality scanlations of Parts 6, 7, and 8 ready to go.  I didn’t want to wait, and I didn’t want to skip around, and I wasn’t super worried about getting the best possible experience, since I figured the anime would air by the end of the year.  Then the anime didn’t air in the fall of 2017, so I decided I could take my time and come back to re-reading Part 5 when I was ready.  

And that brings us to today.    The anime is supposed to air in October, although no one knows exactly when, and I’m kind of looking forward to seeing a JoJo anime where I’ve read the comic version beforehand.    So I want to re-read the comic properly, in order to enhance that experience. 

I’ll be tagging these posts as spoilers, and putting the bulk of it behind a cut.  The first time around, I didn’t know what was going to happen, so I could only spoil what I’d read up to that point.   This time, be advised that I intend to discuss the story as a whole.  So if you haven’t finished Part 5 then you should probably steer clear.  

All right, enough preliminaries, let’s get on with it.

Part 5 opens in Naples, Italy in March of 2001.  Jotaro Kujo sent Koichi Hirose there on a special mission to track down Haruno Shiobana, a 15-year old boarding school student.  I struggled a lot with Part 5 because up to this point, I had been watching JJBA in anime form, and the switch to comic books was a difficult transition to make.   The pacing is just different, and I had hoped that Koichi and/or Jotaro would stick around for more of the story, much like Jotaro and Joseph Joestar became fixtures in Part 4.  Indeed, the early chapters of Part 5 make it seem like a direct continuation of Part 4.   It seems only natural that Jotaro would continue looking for Stand User activity in other parts of the world, just as he did in Morioh in 1999. 

But it’s a misdirection.   Koichi gets his luggage stolen almost as soon as he arrives, and this sets off a chain of events that makes Part 5 happen, but Koichi himself isn’t at the center of it, the way he was in Part 4.   From what I can tell, the main purpose of Jotaro and Koichi’s presence in the early chapters is simply to establish information about the new JoJo that none of the other characters would know.   Koichi overhears that the guy who stole his luggage is named “Giorno Giovanna”, and he’s a half-Japanese kid whose hair recently turned blonde.  Then he realizes that Giorno has a Stand, and he quickly deduces that “Giorno Giovanna” is an Italianization of “Haruno Shiobana”.

Something I didn’t pick up on the first time around is that Jotaro really didn’t know much about Giorno at all.   He was very secretive with Koichi, and I assumed this was because he was just being discreet, but now it seems clear that he didn’t tell Koichi about Giorno’s connection to Dio because he wasn’t sure about it himself.   The Speedwagon Foundation had discovered Giorno during some sort of “research”, which I assumed dealt with Dio’s activities in the 1980′s.   They probably discovered Dio’s involvement with Giorno’s mother, and the fact that she had a son shortly afterward, but nothing more definitive than that.  So Jotaro didn’t even know if Giorno had a Stand. 

Before, I thought this was kind of a sloppy mistake to make.   Wouldn’t it be safer to assume Giorno has a Stand, and to assume he’s hostile, if not an enemy?  Why didn’t Jotaro check the kid out for himself?  It makes more sense now.   He sent Koich instead, knowing that Koichi would have an easier time getting  close to another student.  He probably expected Koichi to sneak into the boarding school and get a tissue sample that way.  Jotaro himself probably wouldn’t have gotten involved until the results of the DNA test came back.  

As for Giorno himself, he could have told Jotaro and Koichi who his father is, except he probably doesn’t know anything else about the guy.   There’s a slow trickle of information about Giorno over the first three chapters.  Koichi starts with a photo and a name, but Giorno himself bears little resemblance to either, and Koichi has to eavesdrop on some airport security guards Giorno bribed to fill in the gaps.   It’s up to Jotaro to connect the dots by revealing Giorno is Dio’s son, which begs the question of whether Giorno would pick up his father’s legacy of cartoon supervillainy.  Then we get to this scene, where Giorno gets shaken down by the local gang enforcer for protection money, and he finds a photo of Dio in Giorno’s wallet. 

I never understood the point of Giorno having a photo of his bio-dad in his wallet, but I suspect that the ambiguity of it is purpose enough in itself.   It’s a clue to the reader that Giorno is at least aware of Dio as his father.  We never learn how Giorno feels about Dio, but he must feel something towards him, or he wouldn’t carry the picture around.   One might speculate that Giorno knows a great deal about Dio, and perhaps he sympathizes with his father’s evil goals.  One might also speculate that he keeps the photo because it’s all he really has, and with no role model in his life, he might turn to evil.  

That’s really what Giorno’s character arc is about, I think.  I was frustrated with him at first because he never seemed conflicted about anything; he just barrelled on through one obstacle after another on his way to his end goal.   But just because he never seemed to question or contemplate his fate doesn’t mean that there were no questions to be answered.    It’s ultimately up to the reader to observe Giorno and figure out what he’s all about.    Is he hero or villain?   That’s why Jotaro and Koichi show up early in the story, then bow out for good.   Their job is simply to put forth the question.   They can’t answer it for us, so there’s no reason for them to stay.   We can assume that after Part 5 ends, Jotaro might meet Giorno for himself, as enemies or friends or neither, but that meeting never happens in Part 5, because that would rob Giorno of his subjectivity.

For example, I’ve heard Giorno described as introverted, but I never really understood the reasoning behind this.   Turns out it’s in the manga, but I probably didn’t pick up on it because the translation I read before was so poorly worded.  Now, I can see it clearly.   Before Giorno defeats Luca, he explains that he detests repeating himself, since it’s a waste of time to say what’s already been said.   In this flashback to his childhood, Giorno learned not to cry when his mother would leave him because he knew there was no one to hear it.  I wouldn’t have picked up on this without the translator here using the word “useless”.   From an early age, Giorno learned not to bother with certain behaviors most people take for granted, because such behaviors are useless when you’re isolated from others.  He doesn’t cry because he doesn’t think anyone will care if he does.   He doesn’t like to chit-chat because he doesn’t think other people want to listen, and he doesn’t like to repeat himself because it means the other person definitely isn’t listening.

And of course, he’s comfortable being alone, as seen here.  Before, I thought this scene was just establishing Giorno was popular with the ladies, but when he sends them away, he makes it clear that he enjoys being alone. 

And this all stems back to this panel, where it’s established that Giorno tries to read people because of how he tried to make sense of his stepfather’s abuse.  So the pieces are all clear as day.   Giorno’s introverted, undoubtedly.

I also found it a lot easier to make sense of the Giorno/Bruno Bucellati encounter.   For one thing, the colorized pages make it a lot easier to tell one guy’s Stand from the other.    Bruno’s Sticky Fingers is blue, and Giorno’s Gold Experience is... well, gold.  The better scripting also makes it clear that their fight had to be to the death.   Bruno confronted Giorno to investigate the attack on Luca, because the gang they work for couldn’t let Luca’s death go unanswered.    Once it became clear that Giorno had a Stand, Bruno couldn’t let Giorno escape, and Giorno couldn’t let Bruno report to his boss, or he’d be hunted down for the rest of his life.   This adds a sense of relief to the moment when they become allies, since the only alternative is for one of them to die. 

During the fight, Bruno gets distracted when he notices needle marks on a boy’s arm, and that gives Giorno an opening to kill Bruno, only he doesn’t take it.    Instead, Giorno points out Bruno’s hesitation, and concludes that Bruno’s loyalty to his gang is at odds with the gang’s policy of selling drugs to children. 

I found this chilling when I read it today, because the way I remembered this scene, it was Giorno finding common ground with Bruno.   But it’s not, is it?  What he’s saying here isn’t necessarily his own opinion on drug use; he’s simply deducing what Bruno’s opinion is, and using Bruno’s reaction to see if he’s correct. 

This isn’t to say that Giorno doesn’t share Bruno’s sentiments on selling drugs to children.  I just find it interesting that Giorno isn’t actually commenting on the matter directly.   He’s talking like a politician, using Bruno’s cause to justify his own.  “Help me take over the gang, and I’ll stamp out selling drugs to kids.”   It may be part of Giorno’s agenda, but it may only be a small part, and he’s simply playing that up to get Bruno on his side.  Or he could simply be telling Bruno whatever he wants to hear.  Giorno may have never spared a moments’ thought on drug use until this moment.  You really can’t tell, at least not yet...

LET’S GO LET’S GO SPRING IS HERE SO IT’S TIME TO WARM UP WITH LEWDS

E M O T I O N A L  L E W D S  T H A T  I S

Having been away on a trip, I was listening to a great deal of albums that have left me feeling extremely inspired--especially now to the point of hosting yet another fic event after having just recently returned lololol but anyhow!!! I was especially fond of Mura Masa’s self-titled debut, and while I’ve been wanting to do write something for his song “Love$ick Fuck”, I discovered a newfound love with his “Messy Love” track and decided to COMBINE THE TWO TOGETHER FOR THIS EVENT!

As the Focus implies, this event is themed on overly/extremely devoted, clingy love--taken to however extreme you wish to request~ :3c However! Rather than do this request event by the norm, I wish to change things up simply for the fun of it by bringing in some of the guidelines from my smaller mini-fill events!

Thus, when you request, please note these usual guidelines, including the ones specifically for Focus events like this one!:

Be 18+ to request lewds

Focus characters (the ones depicted in the image above) means that requests for them will either be prioritized or general requests for them may be permitted! For this event in particular however, only the former will apply~

Multiple requests are fine but only if you request for a different series per request~

As in, instead of submitting 3 requests for JJBA, you split it up between JJBA, OPM and Drifters~

Please adhere to the rules of the event~

While also including the following!:

Your husband of choice

Polyamorous/love triangles are okay~

One of the noted lyrics from either Love$ick or Messy Love

the ~extremity~ of love will be determined by what you pick, with lyrics denoted with * being the lowest and *** being the highest!

Love$ick

I need you***

I'm a lovesick fuck***

I want you*

Come on fuck me, babe**  

Messy Love

Take me*  

Break me***

Use me for your messy love**

Steal me***

Don't you think that we should be together?*

Now will (you) be my girl**/***

depends on context of prompt~

A prompt relating to the theme of the event~!

Detailed prompts are preferred over general!

Examples:

(I want you) A sleeping Summoner resting upon Laslow’s lap leaves him deep in thought over his feelings for the one he yearns for most.

(Use me for your messy love) Doppio knows that that the reader’s heart belongs to Diavolo. It doesn’t mean he is able to resist the temptation to keep the reader company and satisfied while the boss is ‘away’

(I need you) Ichimatsu has been crushing on the reader for the longest, but is too afraid to express his feelings, even though he feels more than irritated when his brothers have no issue with talking to the reader. Keeping how he feels to himself leads him to amassing all the little gifts that the reader gives, eventually ‘borrowing’ a few personal items even. And then he gets caught in the act. However, these emotions come to a head when the reader comes by to announce news of being admitted to a year-long study abroad program.

AND SINCE WE’RE BACK AT IT AGAIN FOR THE REQUESTS HERE ARE ALL THE SERIES OF WHOSE MENZ YOU CAN SELECT:
