Apology Post
Under the cut for mentions of Melone and trauma related to infertility
Let me preface this by saying that in no way do I condone anything that Melone has canonically done in any way, shape or form.
Upon watching part 5 of jjba I took an interest in Melone’s character. I thought that he had a lot of interesting potential in terms of his role in la squadra and I liked his character design. Because of this I tried to separate the character from the events that happened in the babyface arc. That was my first mistake.
From there, I attempted to remake Melone as a character, throwing out the complete function of Babyface and some of his more perverted characteristics. All I kept the same was his design along with his analytical and paternal traits. This was a huge mistake on my part.
It was a mistake because that caused me to become more and more comfortable with my personal remake of his character, and in turn forgetting about how he is as a canonical character. As I grew more fond of this remake, I started to project some of my own traits onto him.
These projections ranged from very simple with appreciation of certain aesthetics to quite in depth; using his more paternal side as a way to project my own personal trauma I have with risk of infertility due to medical complications. However with the more I projected onto him and the more comfort I felt from the rendition of this character, I decided that I actually kinned him. Not the original Melone, but this recreation I have of Melone.
And I honestly regret all of it. I should have seen the red flags beforehand and shouldn’t have let him become so close to me. For a period of time I even went as far as to go by the name Melone. It was stupid and I didn’t think about the possible discomfort that would cause for people.
I will gladly take the blame for this, as I recognize that it’s my fault that I made people uncomfortable. I’m terribly sorry for any discomfort I ever caused anyone, it was clueless of me to tread so lightly around a character like that. That sort of thing is not what I want to put out into the world and was definitely never my intention.
If you want to unfollow or block me, I understand completely and won’t ask of you to stay. Once again, I’m sorry for all the harm and discomfort I’ve caused anyone. This post is not me trying to forgive myself or saying that I even deserve it, I’m just trying to bring some clarification to the situation.
I might delete my blog. If I do so, I will edit this saying where to follow if anyone wishes to stay. I’m terribly sorry. Peace.

I will periodically update the progress amounts. As the goals are met, I'll mark them as funded and change the colors from green to pink to make it clear. I'm also tagging the ones that could use more attention with red.
Been hearing a lot about "reparations" lately? Well, this is one way to start working towards that, since those in power certainly won't.
