[alyssumsun]

[riddle-me-ri]

a/n: Happy Valentine’s Day everybody!! I hope that no matter your relationship status you all love and treat yourselves well because you deserve it! I did Lupin the Third and Gang and figured I'd also try my hand at the roster of Jojo characters I write for lol, enjoy~

Reader Asking Various JJBA Characters to Be Their Valentine

Jonathan Joestar

- Instantly flattered, stumbling over his words.

- Jonathan will likely tease you about how it was his job to ask you first..

- However, he will let it slide as long as you let him treat you-

- Treat you to what? Well, a proper Valentine's Day date of course!

- He was going to treat you even before you asked, but now he's definitely got to make the plans and

- It's a gentleman's duty to sweep the object of his affection off their feet, you know!

Robert E. O. Speedwagon

- Speedwagon is rendered speechless.

- Just how in the hell do you manage to be so damn adorable.

- He couldn't say no even if he wanted to, which by no means would he ever turn you down to begin with.

- When he accepts, it's with an abundance of joy that causes him to pick you up and twirl you around effortlessly.

- Speedwagon's mind is reeling over the next steps-

- Where to take you out, what gifts to get you, what flowers you said were your favorite if you had any…

- Speedwagon couldn't wait to spend the special day with you as your special person.

Joseph Joestar

- Well, Duh! That wasn't already a given?

- Besides, even if you didn't ask Joseph–he already assigned himself the role.

- Will definitely rub it in everyone's face

- (especially Caesar if he's in the picture)

- Through all his teasing, Joseph is deep down extremely grateful.

- Joseph feels like the luckiest bastard in the world…

- And he may even tell you that today when you two are alone…

- Expect to spend the entire day with him and him proudly claiming to be “your” Valentine.

Caesar Zeppeli

- Caesar is stunned.

- Much like Jonathan, he feels it's him who should be the one asking you!

- Caesar, of course, accepts your offer full heartedly.

- Somehow, his romanticism goes up by 11, considering it wasn't already there to begin with…

- Of course, he has to seal the romantic union with a kiss-

- Which definitely won’t be the last kiss of the day…

- Caesar has way more where that comes from and more ~

Jotaro Kujo

- Jotaro is speechless…he's never really cared for the holiday…

- He feels you should celebrate your loved ones year around and not just put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.

- Jotaro doubts you’re being serious…

- But he's known you long enough to see signs of you being nervous and anxious…

- Which you were showing the longer he took to respond properly.

- If it was anyone else, he'd likely ignore them or tell them to leave him alone…

- He quietly accepts as he lowers the brim of his cap over his eyes.

Noriaki Kakyoin

- Huh?

- Kakyoin stumbles with his words, almost pure word vomit.

- W-what does he say? Is just saying yes enough?

- Should he say more? He should probably say more…

- It's okay, his brain is short circuiting from his crush, asking him to be their Valentine.

- After fumbling, he does come out on top and accepts your request…

- Kakyoin can't hide his excitement, though, as he holds your hand, and you're both off to spend the day together.

Jean Pierre Polnareff

- May or may not start tearing up from the sheer overwhelming emotion of love for you.

- Polnareff is so deep in his emotions he may forget to answer the question-

- Although his dramatic response serves as a good reference that his normal answer would be yes.

- Polnareff is quick to sweep you off your feet-princess style as he begins spilling some cheesy romantic lines.

- If you aren't already in a relationship, this is definitely the moment that starts it

- Polnareff will do whatever it takes to be your one and only Valentine for the rest of your life.

Hol Horse

- Hol Horse has been a handful of people's Valentine…

- Yet there was something different when you asked him this year round…

- You and Hol have been friends for awhile, sure you two flirted and had a fun banter going on…

- In fact, Hol almost suspects you of teasing him because of it, if it wasn't for the anxious look on your face.

- He accepts, of course, without any other second thoughts.

- The smile you give him is sweet enough to do him in.

- Yeah, this isn't the first time he's been asked to be someone's Valentine.

- But he can't deny that he hopes he can be yours year round…

Josuke Higashikata

- Josuke has definitely had his fellow classmate or two ask him this.

- While he is flattered, of course, he doesn't really accept anyone…

- This does make you a little nervous to ask yourself, you two were friends, and what if this ruins it?

- When you push through your nerves, Josuke is surprised.

- But only for a minute–

- Of course, he accepts!

- In fact, he's been waiting to see if you'd ask before he had to ask you himself!

- You're annoyed at the shit he gives you–

- But the beaming smiles you give each other is well worth it.

Giorno Giovanna

- Giorno is flattered, so much so he's rendered flustered.

- He never thought he would ever be considered to be someone's Valentine…

- However, if it had to be anyone that asked, he's glad it was you.

- Through his surprise, he does accept your offer–

- You'll likely have to take the lead as to what you two do to celebrate the day and union.

- Giorno has always had feelings for you, but after this, he's come to the full realization.

- He absolutely adores you, and he wants to make sure he's your Valentine every year for years to come.

Bruno Bucciarati

- Bruno tries to shake off the surprise, but he is fairly taken aback.

- He also feels like he should have been the one asking you-

- When he does accept, he admits that he did plan on asking you himself–

- Yet, in the end, he's just content that the feelings were clearly mutual…

- Bruno sets out to treat you and spend the rest of the day with you.

- He may not have got to ask you, but he will make up for it with actions instead…

- Bruno will never hear the end of it from the gang, but he can't care less.

- As long as your hand was in his and your smile was caused by him, Bruno wanted nothing more.

Jolyne Cujoh

- (the fact you're attempting this knowing Anasui could pop up anywhere is honestly pretty daring, you have my respect)

- Jolyne is surprised.

- Granted if it was anyone else, she would likely ignore them, like her father would–

- Yet, she does care about you a lot..

- Plus, Jolyne does think it's pretty sweet thst you asked her out of everyone else…

- Her cheeks are dusted a soft pink, but she does accept.

- There's not too much you two can do locked up-

- But spending the day with one of the few people you care about the most–there's really nothing better than that.

Random Caesar Zeppeli Headcanons

CW: Just some general headcanons and some fluff with a hint of sappy-ness and a little bit of spice. Bro does not die here (because I said so), he gets to live a long and happy life here. :,)

• Gonna come right out of the gate with this one, this fucker has to have kids.

• He of course he doesn’t really know about them because dude doesn’t stick around long with the ladies he’s fuckin’ with.

• He has to have a few kids, and honestly, even if he didn’t, he had siblings, and I’m surprised there wasn’t at least another Zeppeli in the JoJo universe, much less part 5. I feel like one of the Mista or Bruno are the more likely to be in the possible Zeppeli bloodline.

• Moving on from that, I feel like Caesar gives some pretty awesome hugs. Man has the arms and body for it.

• Though I think his body is more naturally cold, and he uses that to his advantage.

• Imagine just chilling and reading a book and he puts his hand on the back of your neck, yeah, he’s THAT guy. He’s friends with Joseph what do you expect?/lh

• Despite being very close friends with Joseph, he’s obviously more of the gentleman out of the two. Yeah he has his moments where he’ll play with you, but he’s not on dick level with Joseph.

• He cannot handle being flirted with, like he’s supposed to be the rizz master here guys—

• He’s usually the flirt, yes, but him being flirted with?? He would not know what to do. He’d get really flustered and just kinda stare a moment, trying to figure out how you’re able to make HIM flustered.

• But despite all that, would treat you like royalty. He’s a great guy and treasures somebody he would actually love and would want to settle down with, which would take awhile but hey, good husband, he’d make you a good spaghetti dinner.

• Once you guys finally get settled, be prepared, he wants a rather large family.

• He’s used to having a lot of siblings and he enjoyed it himself! He’d love that for his own family.

• Either having your own or adopting, or hell even doing both, he cherishes each and everyone of those kids to no-ends, those kids are his life. (Aside from you of course <3)

• I can imagine him getting a really big bed, not only because he’s a big guy, but also for the kids who are too afraid to sleep on their own. And for how many kids you agreed on having, you’ll need the extra space.

• Every anniversary or Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day/Father’s Day, etc, Caesar is taking you out to celebrate. Usually it’s going out to dinner somewhere fancy, but if you’re insistent, you guys could always go somewhere more fun.

• Usually by the end of the night you’d guys make love to finish it off. 👹

Alright, that’s all I have, when I have more ideas I’ll write them down. Focusing more on JoJo writing this time guys. :3

[pvzshnik]

It's time to tell you something about my fan gameria. THERE ARE HINTS OF MURDER

I mentioned it earlier, but now I want to go into more detail.

Meet..

PAPA'S CARNIVALIA TO GO!

(intro screen and Game icon)

The action takes place near an amusement park, which also houses a donuteria

Plot: Exactly 20 years have passed since Papa Louie defeated Sarge and saved his clients, and our chef decided to celebrate by throwing a huge carnival, where he invites all his clients. To celebrate, the chef is also organizing a new food venue: Carnivalia, They serve cotton candy, popcorn and drinks.

1st scene: The news reports that Papa Louie has gone missing and everyone starts to worry: who will look after the carnival? The answer was already close: it is the former owner of his circus and a good leader - Cosmo Shiningstar. He takes the circus into his own hands and later everyone forgets about the disappearance of Louie.

2st scene: We move on to Papa Louie, who wakes up in the dark depths of the forest. He finds a man in a cloak and asks what he is doing here and who dragged him here, to which the stranger replies, That Cosmo brought him here to get rid of him and then kill him, but it didn’t work out because the same stranger in the cloak scared him away. The chef was not happy with this turn of events and went to the carnival to sort things out. By the way, fun fact: at the end of the scenes we learn that the stranger in the cloak was Guy Mortadello. He didn't wish Louie any harm at that moment, because he also had some conflicts with Cosmo.

3st scene: We wake up already at work in our work uniforms from being electrocuted. Afterwards, Cosmo enters the carnival and announces that the entire carnival is now under his control and everyone will serve him. From now until the 4st scene, everyone will wear collars that will shock them, When you make a wrong order. I would like to clarify that now orders are much more difficult to make due to the slowness of the devices with food and malfunctions with the program.

(There will also be an intro screen like this during this)

4st scene: The beginning of the carnival. Cosmo goes on stage with the actors and announces the beginning of the carnival, but when he was about to finish his speech, he was shot with a shotgun. It was Guy Mortadello, behind whom stood Papa Louie. The chef frees everyone from their collars and takes over the carnival again.

CHEF

The chefs in this game will be Kahuna and Mindy.

(External outfit)

CLOSERS

Monday: Ally Kabam

Tuesday: Sprinkles the Clown

Wednesday: Quinn

Thursday: Boopsy & Bill

Friday: Pin & Dot

Saturday: Xandra

Sunday: Jojo

This list is not random. Alli, Sprinks, BNB and PND will be the main performers in the entire carnival according to the plot, that's why they appeared here.

NEW CLIENTS

Pin & Dot

Mimes (?) Twins who often work in pairs. They really like the whole carnival theme, so they were happy to become part of this cast.

Cosmo Shiningstar

Antagonist and former owner of the circus as mentioned earlier. There is a small peculiarity in him: from 2 to 3 scenes he will be very generous and give you a lot of money if the dish is done correctly. But from 3 onwards he will already start behaving very unfriendly and for an order that is completed less than 90 percent he will take away all the tips you earned during the day. This is also with the fact that Cosmo will be coming every day from now on. The character is exclusive to the carnival, as after this game he will die and will not appear anywhere else.

Ruby

An elderly woman who owned her own clothing store. She was the one who created almost all the outfits in the papavers

Also a funny thing:

Now the store will give the name: "Ruby's fashion boutique", where she will look and comment on what you bought.

Karry

She is something like a crazy fanatic, like, for example, the same Sarge fan, Radlynn or Lepete. She is a fan of Dr. Karamba (the character is not mine).

And...as strange as it may sound, Guy Mortadello is also a strange client. A regular one at that.

After he deals with Cosmo, he will start going to Louie' place and will gradually start to get used to the places.

I would also like to show how the clients would look while wearing collars. On 1 without a collar, on 2 with it.

I really hope you enjoyed it!

[lunastorm13]

The other morning I was resetting my classroom bookshelf because the kids had left it a mess when putting their books away the day before. One of the kids was sitting on the couch beside the bookshelf watching me and chatting. Part of this process includes setting up a small display of books on the top. I was searching for particular books to put on the display and the kid asked me about why I wanted those particular books and not a different one instead.

So I got to have a conversation with them about how it's Pride Month and I think it's important to have books about that because people need them. They made the connection that it's important for kids to have access to books like this in case they have family like their dad that "don't really like or understand" LGBT+ things so that they know that being LGBT+ is okay. I shared back that I think it's also important to have books like these for kids and all people because I'm asexual/aromantic and I didn't really understand those terms until I was a grown-up so I spent a lot of my youth thinking something was wrong with me, until I learned those terms and understood I wasn't alone. So I pick books that have great messages but are also good stories, books that children love but that also tell them that you're not alone and you are just right the way that you are.

I wanted to plant a seed that everyone deserves love and acceptance with that conversation but to also say 'hey, I'm a safe space if you need it, I've had some small experience with this'. But I've already begun to plant that seed a long time ago and have seen it growing in the three years this child has been a part of my room. Going from declaring they don't like JoJo Siwa (a previous favourite artist) because she's gay, to telling me they think it's okay to be gay, to purposefully picking out children's books that feature children with different gender presentations to read to me and to the class at story time. To telling me, while they read me "Sparkle Boy" that they think it's okay to dress how you want even if their dad doesn't like it because it makes people happy and feel good.

I hope that this seed that has been planted continues to grow into a strong confident person, full of acceptance and love who finds a spot in this world where they are celebrated for who they are.

I think the reason I feel compelled to share this now (not just because it's pride month) is because it's representative to me of the profound impact that we can have on another by continuing to share consistent messages about love and acceptance, sharing media that normalizes diverse identities, and calling out messages of hatred. It takes a community even if at first a community is just one person saying "I don't agree with your dad. I think that being a lesbian shouldn't change whether or not you like a singer."

🥰

🏘️

For Jojo, Shishi, and Ezzie (The Twst OCs ;w;) for the OC Ask meme)

Similarly to the last post!! This is color coded: me/narrator as default, blue as Jocia, and green as Ezra

🥣what's your favorite food?

"So this is some sort of interview? Alright then," Jocia gruffly responded, slouching over in her seat upon realizing the question was actually rather simple. She grinned, "Bulgogi's a fav. It's something my sister showed me when we were kids. Apparently she was trying to learn more about our family history or somethin', did a damn lot of research too."

"It's not something I looked much into myself, but I'm a complete sucker for anything barbecued or grilled. I think... Oh yeah, we tried it out on a camping trip. I stole some of hers off her plate," Jocia chuckled, scratching at the back of her head as she reminisced, "I gave her hell during that trip. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why we never did something like that again. Made it up to her later, though."

-

"Ooh! How fun!" The professor exclaimed with a sharp-toothed grin, "Let's see, should I go into detail? I don't see why not. You're supposedly looking into learning more about me after all, little sprout," He cheerfully pondered aloud, politely folding his hands in his lap.

"My favorite dish is Pasta Alla Gricia. It's absolutely divine. With most of the foods I like, they've unfortunately been changing and shifting in ways I'm simply not a fan of with the passage of time. BUT! With this? It's only gotten better since the first time I tried it one hundred years ago! I'll gladly buy you some sometime, little sapling. Oh! Perhaps I can get some for the whole class... Like a day of celebration after one of our competitions! It's important for student's to destress, after all!~" Ezra hummed to himself with a firm nod.

🥰do you think you're attractive?

"Uh..." The woman droned on, crossing her arms over her chest. She offered a casual nod after perusing her own thoughts, "Like, physically? Sure, yeah," She bluntly answered.

"It's not really something I've thought too much of before. I guess looking in the mirror and seeing how far I've come gives me something to be proud of. Especially since I'm... not the best at styling. Everyone else in the family got all that."

"But, hell, I've worked hard on myself. Even if working out and such is more of a chill hobby of mine, I'm still confident in how I'm built. Not to mention I can see little parts of the people around me in myself too, yeah? Like- an old friend of mine regularly helps me dye my hair, and I got my piercings at the same time as my brother. If I didn't like those parts of myself, it feels kinda like a dig on them too. No matter whatcha think anyway, there are gonna be people out there who think you're pretty sick."

"...Eh, I'm not good at getting all sappy."

-

Ezra blinked, his drawing his lips into a line. His brows furrowed, "This is a difficult question to be modest about, isn't it?" He awkwardly chuckled, bringing a hand up to massage his temple.

"Oh, I don't know. I have a lot of things I have to work on, truly. It's quite an ordeal. Not that I'm not proud of my appearance! After all, a lot of it was greatly inspired by my late father."

"...Ah! I forgot to mention- I'm a changeling fae, of course. I'm not the biggest fan of shapeshifting, however, so I try my best to correlate my appearance to my adoptive human family. In that way, I suppose topics such as 'attractiveness' are a bit more complicated to someone like me, dear," He finished, dodging and weaving around the actual question through his rambles.

🏘️where's your happy place?

Jocia brightened up a bit at this, smirking as the answer came easily, "With my siblings," she replied briefly.

"They're fun as hell to be around. We got each other's backs. They're a bunch of little shits sometimes, but we know each other better than anyone else," She paused, "At least... most of us. More of a reason for me to get home, as if I didn't need any more of one already."

-

"My classroom, of course! Oh, it's so fun!" The teacher excitedly replied, eccentrically taking the time to pop up out of his seat and lean over the table, "It's where I spend most of my time! Working with students in bloom, watching their talents grow, listening to my favorite stars sing broadway, tending to my adorable potted plants..." He babbled on endlessly, happily explaining to no end.

"...I haven't been here for very long, that is true, but it has very quickly become my favorite place to be. So much so I often get caught up in things and forget to attend meetings. I suppose me and the other fae individuals here have that in common... I'm working on that, however! Got to make sure my memory is in top condition!"

"Is that it? 'Kay. Be seeing ya."

-

"This was very pleasant! Thank you kindly for inviting me."

A Happy Headverse Holiday

(Based on @sapphire-heart-tippy 's noncanon Sapphire Heartverse spin-off!)

--------------

Jonathan awoke in his jar with a start.

His surroundings were all the same as they always were, the cold, dimly-lit confines of Dio's fridge for as long as he can remember.

At least, now he was no longer lonely.

Around him were his fellow disembodied heads, in jars of their own, products of failed magical experiments Dio had been performing in an experimental attempt to get their rightful bodies back. Each and every time was unsuccessful, and as the fridge grew more crowded with newcomers Jonathan couldn't help but feel that Dio was just entirely reluctant to give him his body back.

At least now he wasn't lonely.

For many, many years, Jonathan dreaded the prospect of being forgotten, all alone, in the fridge. That one day, the door would never again open, and he would be left in his jar, to languish away for all eternity.

But now he wasn't alone, as the sleeping figures of his fellow severed heads now surrounded him, reclining in their jars and immersed in their life-giving fluid. Some his old friends from a time long passed, others new fellows from years after his life. And of course, a few who were once Dio's agents who recieved the most ironic of punishments for mistreating him. Only Dio himself had the privilege.

Such was the day, every single day, in his routine. But today, he knew it was a special day.

"Wake up, everyone!" he proclaimed cheerfully. "Today is a very special day!"

The other heads began to stir.

"Mmm....is it our anniversary, dear Jojo?" mumbled Erina sleepily, from the jar next to him.

"Or perhaps the day that vampire finds the mercy to give us our body back?" came the irate reply from Zeppeli, in another adjacent jar.

"No, don't be silly!" Jonathan answered with a warm, hearty laugh. "It's Christmas Eve!"

"But I don't celebrate Christmas," piped up a confused Kempo from a lower rung of the fridge. "I'm not of that...seasonal culture."

"Don't fret, mate," reasurred his partner Tattoo from the jar next to him. "You'll probably come to love it!"

"Besides, what's there to even celebrate about?" grumbled Steely Dan from a jar above his level. "We're severed heads in a fridge and you all think about the holidays?"

"Well, since there isn't anything we can do about our current state the least we can do is make the most of it!" Jonathan snapped. "Besides, it's a great relief from our monotonous decapitated life to have something to celebrate, for once!"

"So, what do you plan today, dear?" Erina asked him, sweetly.

"First thing's first," answered Jonathan. "We gotta have Vanilla take us out first."

-------------

Vanilla was in the kitchen, whipping up the ingredients for Tippy's favorite holiday pie, when an off-key chorus of Christmas carols began emanating from the fridge. The other fridge, not the one for food, which grew only louder and more grating the longer it went.

"🎵Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the waaaayyy...🎵"

At last Vanilla could stand the ruckus no more and finally opened the fridge door to give the heads inside a stern lecture.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Vanilla firmly, bending over to look into the level of the fridge and at those of its inhabitants. "If you would please, I am trying to work here. Please do not distract me."

"We could help," Speedwagon offered.

"Not a chance," Vanilla rebuked. "I have witnessed and cleaned up the messes you've made and the holidays are not the time for me to deal with your shenanigans!"

"Well, you could at least let us out of our jars," Jonathan pleaded. "I promise, we won't interfere with your work, but we'd like to enjoy the holidays too!"

"Please, Mr. Ice?" Erina added, giving him the sad puppy-dog eyes in an effort to convince him.

Vanilla's heart softened underneath his stern exterior.

"Alright, I will let you--" He paused as he was interrupted by a cheer from the heads, "--I will let you out! BUT! Only on the condition that you do not disturb Lord Dio in his rest, that you do not interfere with my cooking, and that you promise not to make a mess that I will have to clean up. Understood?"

The heads all sighed and groaned like a class of disgruntled preschoolers.

"Alright, we promise not to, Mr. Ice."

The process took a while, as Vanilla took each head out of their jar, wiped them dry, and brushed their hair one by one before letting them on their merry way. Straizo in particular held up the line as he took great pleasure in Vanilla's service.

"Ah yes! Please straighten up my frizzes, dear servant boy," he demanded. Vanilla frowned and combed away a few tangles in Straizo's hair.

"Move it along, you!" cried Dire impatiently, still in his jar. Once Vanilla had finished with Straizo and let him bounce off, he removed Dire from his jar, and prepared to wipe him dry, only for him to immediately try to hop away.

"Come back!" Vanilla insisted, managing to catch the wayward head before he could escape. "I don't want you dripping elixir all over Sire's fancy rugs!"

"Agh! No! Watch the hair!" Dire complained as he was patted dry by a towel.

Soon all the heads were freed from the fridge and ready to go about their business. There was now quite a lot of them, with all of Dio's failures in his dark magic, and the thumping of their neck bases echoed throughout the gloomy halls of Dio's mansion--ever so slightly less gloomy by the decorations the agents had been putting up.

Looking around, Jonathan could see, of course, Erina, Speedwagon and Zeppeli, his oldest friends and beloved spouse, Steely Dan, Alessi and Mariah, the bullies punished to become heads themselves, Doppio now a head separated from his other half, Zeppeli's grandson Caesar, and the others, in convenient pairs, Sorbet and Gelato, Squalo and Tiziano, Dire and Straizo, Kempo and Tattoo and the sworn enemies Kira and Kosaku, who at the moment were chasing each other around the hall with butter knives in their mouths.

Jonathan couldn't help a small smile from the sight. It was nice seeing some fellow friends, given a second chance, a time to celebrate the joy of family and friendship for the season. It was less than perfect, of course, but who else was lucky to get the chance to live another life again?

With some effort, Jonathan hopped over to a table overlooking a window and, using a footstool, a chair and a drawer as stepping-stones, bounced his way up until he was upon the tabletop, looking out at the window. It was nighttime, a bright moon hanging overhead in the sky, and in the distance city lights twinkled, far away in the unending expanse of the desert.

Jonathan sat by the windowsill for a long time, gazing out quietly. It wasn't long before Erina took notice, and with a bit of a struggle, made her way up to the tabletop to join him.

"Not very festive in the desert, isn't it?" she quipped.

"Oh!" Jonathan exclaimed in surprise, pivoting and wobbling on his neck base but managing to balance himself upright in time. "I didn't expect to see you here too, love."

"I just thought you seemed a little lonely," she added. "I suppose it doesn't snow down here in this hot tropical place."

"Oh, Dio made it snow here in Egypt once with his forbidden spells," Jonathan chuckled sheepishly. "That didn't end...very well."

He looked over to Erina, meeting the gaze of her beautiful blue eyes. Jonathan smiled, remembering how she was brought back the previous Christmas as the most precious gift of them all.

"I suppose all I really need to feel festive is to have you again," Jonathan said, with a slow sigh. "I never thought I'd ever spend time with you again and I'm more than fortunate, I suppose. Guess it's at least better than being dead."

"I suppose you could call this our first anniversary as heads?" Erina joked, in an attempt to lighten the mood. But Jonathan didn't seem his usual chipper self today.

Erina's smile faded. "Is...is there anything bothering you, darling?"

Jonathan sighed, and closed his eyes.

"I wish I could embrace you, dear Erina. I wish I could hold your hand and walk by your side, as we were meant to. But alas, we cannot."

"Don't be so gloomy, Jojo," Erina teased playfully. "Weren't you the one who encouraged me to keep going, in spite of our current state, just to stick it to Dio's face and deny him the satisfaction of making us miserable?"

Jonathan nuzzled her cheek. "I know, I know. Still, it's hard not to think about, isn't it? It's lovely having you back, but it's hard not to imagine the life we could have lived had we not been taken away from each other to begin with."

Erina pressed her cheek against Jonathan's, the best she could do in a reassuring hug. "Well, what's important is that I'm here with you again. And I'll be here with you, no matter what, because after having lived a full life and growing old without you--I'm not letting you go again."

Jonathan returned a warm smile. She really did brighten up his holiday, even if it, like himself and her, were missing something.

But as the two severed heads sat at the tabletop, warmly snuggling, they neglected to notice a pair of bright orange eyes watching from the darkness above. Ignoring the unseen spectator, they paid no heed as the figure retreated back into the shadows.

"I could uthe a lithle athistance!" Speedwagon shouted in a muffled voice, hanging onto a holiday garland with his teeth and flailing his neck stump uselessly.

"Ugh, get down from there!" Vanilla demanded, reaching out his arms. Speedwagon loosed his grip from the garland and dropped right into Vanilla's grasp, safely landing in his outstretched arms.

"What on earth were you doing?" Vanilla demanded. "I told you to stay put!"

Speedwagon spat out some glitter from the garland. "We were only trying to help you decorate, Mr. Ice!"

"I appreciate the intent," Vanilla admitted. "But your efforts are less than...satisfactory," he said, gesturing to Zeppeli trying to help refill the punch bowl using only a scoop held in his mouth, spilling drops all over the table.

Zeppeli put down the scoop to free his mouth for speaking. "Look, my good man, we may have no hands but we're still trying our best!"

"And you don't need to try at all," Vanilla insisted, wiping the table and Zeppeli's mouth with a paper towel. "Besides, where are the others?"

Over at the balcony Sorbet had managed to pull one of the decorative balloons off with his mouth. He sucked in its contents then released it, sending it whizzing across the room and landing smack on the wall.

"Hey, check this out!" Sorbet said in a tiny, squeaky voice. "I sound like the chipmunks from TV!"

"Wait a sec," Gelato asked. "How does that even work if we don't have any lungs?"

"Beats me," squeaked Sorbet.

Beneath the mistletoe under the windowsill, Squalo and Tiziano shared a passionate kiss in the moonlight.

"Ti amo, mia cara," Squalo said, before planting the loudest, noisiest smooch on Tiziano's awaiting lips.

"Get a room, or a jar, you two!" squeaked Sorbet from across the hall.

"EAAAGHHHHH!" came a scream, and all the heads turned to Alessi bouncing around in a panic with his hair ablaze...again.

"Stop, drop and roll, man!" Steely Dan yelled, trying to hop after him while pushing a fire extinguisher with his forehead.

"How do you work thith thing?" Mariah exclaimed, trying to work the extinguisher handle with her teeth.

"In the sink!" Vanilla demanded. "IN THE SINK!" He grabbed Alessi by his smoldering hairdo and dunked him in the running water, extinguishing the flame and drawing a relieved sigh from the head.

"Alright, you all!" Vanilla demanded, pulling Alessi back up from the sink and placing him on the counter. "Do you want me to put you all back in the fridge to miss out on the holidays?"

"NO!!" came the unified reply.

"Yes," groaned Alessi with a defeated sigh, his hair still smoking.

"I don't have the patience for you all right now," Vanilla grumbled. "I'm leaving you in the care of Ramon and Okuyasu while I get my cooking done!"

"Again?" Ramon moaned. Vanilla patted his fluffy hair gently.

"Just for this one time, alright?" Vanilla said reassuringly. "Papa has important things to do, and I did promise to let them enjoy the holidays."

"Don't you worry, Mister Ice!" Okuyasu chuckled. "This is gonna be a piece of cake!"

----------

It was not a piece of cake.

"Boy, you guys sure are a handful," Ramon gave an exhausted huff as he removed the candy canes from Kosaku and Kira's mouths that they were using to sword-fight each other with, and picked them both up.

"He started it!" Kosaku snapped, struggling in one of Ramon's hands.

"Like you always do," Kira morosely grumbled from Ramon's other hand as the young lad tried to keep them separated.

"Can't you two just get along for the holidays?" Ramon sighed.

In the meantime, at the living room, Okuyasu was preoccupied with dressing up the other heads for the occasion.

"Don't you look splendid!" he cheerfully exclaimed, as he crossed his arms and admired his handiwork.

"Personally, I look downright ridiculous," Dire complained, as he looked in the mirror at his festive elf hat and jingling bell neck base.

"Oh, speak for yourself, dear friend!" Straizo retorted, admiring his Santa hat and fluffy woolen neck base, the closest thing he could wear to a Christmas sweater. "You look beautifully festive!"

Dire frowned and began to bounce away, jingling and ringing as he went.

Ramon gave Okuyasu a friendly pat on the back. "Looks like someone doesn't like your fashion sense, bro!" Okuyasu laughed back, but his face visibly sank at the mention of "bro".

Ramon noticed his friend's slight change in mood. "You okay there, my man?"

"I miss my bro," Okuyasu admitted.

"Oh," Ramon said sympathetically. "Where is he?"

"Oh, well...he, uh...died." Okyuasu sadly explained. "Sure, he was kind of mean and pushy, but...he was my bro, bro?"

Jonathan noticed Okuyasu's gloomy mood and hopped over to his side, tapping his leg with his forehead. "You okay there?" Jonathan asked. "You suddenly felt less jolly."

"I'm okay," Okuyasu answered, trying to smile once more. He looked down at Jonathan, who grinned up at him from the floor with a warm cheerful smile and bright friendly eyes.

And suddenly, Okuyasu had an idea...

"Say, Mr. Jojo, how exactly did Mr. Dio bring back your friends?"

"Oh, he used a strand of their hair and a spell from his Big Evil Spellbook Edition IV, in his dreary dark magic lab, if I remember. Why he once did--" Jonathan paused at the realization. "Wait. You're not telling me you're planning to--"

But Okuyasu had already run off, faster than Jonathan could bounce after him.

"Mr. Zeppeli, Mr. Zeppeli! Which way to Mr. Dio's dreary dark magic lab?" he asked the moustached head, who was hopping along the hall.

"Why would you even ask such a thing?" Zeppeli replied. "You're not planning to do anything, are you?"

"Just tell me and I'll let you have a nice, cold rum when we have dinner." Okuyasu bargained.

"Ah, it's at the second floor near the lounge room, dear boy!" Zeppeli said without hesitation. "See you at dinner!" he added, and happily hopped away with an excited spring in his bounce.

Okuyasu gave a mischievous grin, as he peeked into his wallet and looked at the single blond hair he had found among his old stuff.

-------

At last, dinner was ready, and the agents, the heads, and all of Dio's villainous guests gathered around the long table for the evening toast.

"A toast, to a wickedly fabulous year in this manor," Dio cackled from the end of the long end of the table, holding up a wine glass filled with what probably wasn't red wine given its bearer was, well, a vampire.

"A toast to another year with my two wonderful husbands!" Tippy cheered, cuddling up to Vanilla and Bel while holding up a glass of bright blue soda.

"A toast to our successful La Squadra businesses that are totally not fronts for illegal activities!" added an unnaturally-happy Risotto, brandishing a cup of Ghiaccio's bubble tea.

"A toast for hopefully getting our body back," groaned a snarky Zeppeli, staring helplessly at his glass of rum. Ramon gave an amused giggle and lifted the glass for him.

"A toast for...whatever it is people of this century and age toast about," Wamuu added, taking a bite out of his wineglass and spitting in disgust.

"And a toast for our kind, generous and compassionate host, Lord Dio!" Vanilla finished off, prompting a subtle eye roll from Jonathan.

"Let's get this party started!" Bel exclaimed, setting off a couple of party poppers.

Slow, classical music began to play on the disc player.

"Hey!" Hol Horse complained. "That's not the proper song!"

"They don't come in Braille!" N'doul complained, fumbling around among the music tapes.

"Let me try," Hol Horse grumbled, and popped in the disk for "Jingle Bell Rock".

"Ah, that's more like it." he added.

In the mansion's main hall celebrants both bodied and bodiless partied the whole night, reveling in the festivities. Heroes and villains called a truce for the night, setting aside their differences for one evening as they instead preoccupied themselves with their festivities and welcoming a new year ahead, of which both Dio and Jonathan had done a hundred times and Wamuu over a thousand.

"No hard feelings, little head man?" Wamuu asked Caesar, giving him a pat on his hair.

"I mean, you did squish me, but it's not like we get anything from being angry about it 'till now." Caesar said matter-of-factly, taking a sip from a wine glass using his lips and spilling them all over himself.

"This salsa is great!" Doppio exclaimed as he messily wolfed down the condiment from atop the table.

"Agh, not the SALSA!" Diavolo cried, as his stomach was linked to Doppio just as Dio's was to Jonathan. "I'm allergic to salsa! Urkgh--" he choked, and fell to the ground.

"Is he...dead?" Ghiaccio asked, poking him with his foot.

"He dies a lot, don't worry," Sorbet reassured.

"He'll be fine in about 30 seconds." Gelato added.

"Say, where IS Okuyasu, by the way?" Ramon asked, noticing his friend's absence.

"Heh, I suppose he'll join us later, I guess?" Zeppeli laughed sheepishly as he delicately took a swig of rum from his glass.

The festivities continued all until dawn, when the sky at last began to faintly brighten.

"Well, it has been a pleasure to host your party night but I must be on my way. Off to bed I go!" Dio concluded urgently before withdrawing to his room before the sun rose. Vampires were most certainly not morning people.

And eventually, tuckered out from all the partying through the night and until morning, Vanilla, with a yawn, began to round up all the heads one by one, returning them to their jars.

"Already?" Tattoo complained. "We were just getting started."

"I suppose we've had too much for one day," sighed Kempo as he was lowered into his jar.

"Straizo, here, Dire, here, Zeppeli, here, Speedwagon, here," Vanilla mumbled as he finished his head-count. With the heads all snugly back in the fridge, Vanilla began to close the door.

"Hey," Jonathan added just as the door closed. Vanilla gave a pause.

"A happy holidays to you, Mr. Ice."

"And to you as well, Mr. Jojo." Vanilla replied, with a warm smile atypical of his stern face, before he shut the door.

Soon it was dark and cold again.

Sleepy from the whole night's party, and from all the merry-making that took the entire evening, Jonathan gave one final happy glance at the now-sleeping Erina in the jar next door, before falling into a deep and restful slumber.

...one so restful that, later that night, he did not even wake as a pair of clawed hands silently opened the fridge door and gently lifted his jar out, with him asleep inside.

------------

"Wake up, Jojo!" came Erina's voice.

"Huh?" Jonathan mumbled as he scratched his hair with his hand. "How long was I asleep?"

Jonathan paused in shocked realization.

Hand?

Jonathan looked down. At first, he thought he had been laid on somebody's shirtless chest, and whoever that was had been the one to give his head a scratch.

But something felt different.

Jonathan tried to wiggle his neck stump, but to his surprise, the body he was laying on lurched to the side too, tumbling off the bed. He braced himself, expecting to roll away underneath a table and get stuck again, except he didn't roll.

He wasn't laying on top of someone's body, he was...attached to it. Jonathan gasped in disbelief.

"I have a body."

"I HAVE A BODY!" Jonathan joyfully exclaimed as the realization set in.

He thought hard about moving his arms, and to his amazement, the arms, his arms, moved in unison with his thoughts. He thought of kicking his legs, and to his delight, his legs kicked in unison.

"I have a body, dear Erina." he said with unbridled mirth, tears of happiness welling up in his eyes. He tried to wipe them off, and clumsily slapped himself in the face.

Erina giggled. "Yes, Jojo. You do have a body. It seems...you're a little out of practice though."

Jonathan gingerly reached out to Erina, careful not to knock her off the bedside table. She gently nuzzled his hand.

"Wait, whose body is this?" Jonathan pondered. He tried to stand up to see in the mirror, but unaccustomed to having legs again, he stumbled and fell to the floor.

He clumsily crawled his way over to the mirror, Erina hopping off the table and bouncing over to Jonathan's side.

He inspected himself in the mirror.

He was wearing a pair of of black shorts (and gave a sigh of relief that he wasn't naked), and slowly he ran his newfound fingers over his muscular form that once again was his. There was no mistaking it--the dark hairs that the body had matched his dark blue crowning glory, the scar across the neck traced where his body had been rightfully rejoined to his head, and, most tellingly, there was the star. The birthmark upon his shoulder that confirmed beyond doubt that Jonathan's body had been returned to its proper owner.

Balancing onto his knees, Jonathan gently picked up Erina's head--or rather, Erina-- and laid her gently across his chest. She smiled proudly at him.

"Now that you have arms...let me give you a kiss, Jojo." He lifted her up to his face, and she gave him a loving peck on the cheek.

"Come on, my dear," Jonathan said. "Let's come and show the others!"

-------------

Tippy, Bel and Vanilla were busy opening up gifts in the living room when they heard a series of loud thumps, coming from the spare bedroom. Tippy thought at first that it was just the heads bouncing around, but this one seemed...louder. Heavier, even.

And, to everyone's surprise, as the noise reached its loudest, out of the corner came--none other than Jonathan.

Jonathan...with a body.

"Dear lord, you're HUGE!" Bel exclaimed, seeing the towering figure that he'd gotten so used to seeing as just a severed head.

"No way!" Tippy agreed, looking up at the six-foot-five former head. Jonathan felt rather...odd, looking down at Tippy who now was much smaller.

Jonathan hopped over to the counter, feet firmly together, and awkwardly placed Erina on the counter with trembling hands.

"Don't be silly, Jojo!" Erina laughed. "You don't need to hop around anymore!"

"Sorry," Jonathan laughed in an embarrased tone. "Force of habit."

"My, you are...quite a sight," Vanilla said, impressed at how tall Jonathan was with his full body. "I do feel you haven't quite gotten used to having a body again, but...congratulations, Jojo."

"He'll get used to it again soon enough."

The voice came from Dio's room, and sure enough the vampire stepped forth from his boudoir, gracefully and elegantly stepping down the staircase.

"Wait a second!" Jonathan said. "If this is MY body, then whose--"

"Don't fret, dear brother. Besides, you haven't even thanked me for the favor I gave you. I heard you weeping all night to her about how you missed your body, and it was pathetic. Unbearably irritating. Now say thanks, Jojo."

Jonathan sighed. "Thank you, Dio," he huffed, just to humor him. "Again, whose...body is that?"

"Oh, of course I wasn't just giving up the convenience of having such a powerful body as yours, as generous as I did feel this year! I found the next best and closest thing there is," he slyly said, turning his back and pointing to the star on his shoulder.

"HEY! You double-crossing blonde bastard! This wasn't part of the deal!" cried an angry voice from the floor, as a very displeased disembodied head came chin-scooting after Dio, tumbling down the stairs and rolling to a stop near his feet.

"JOSEPH?" Erina exclaimed in bewilderment.

"You said you needed my help to give Grandpa his body back!" screamed Joseph's head, rolling around in frustration.

"And thank you for letting me...borrow yours for a while." Dio laughed, picking up Joseph's head and putting him next to Caesar on the countertop.

"Come on, Jojo, it's not too bad being a head!" teased Caesar with a playful bump of his forehead. "Heh, at least NOW we're even!"

Joseph sighed. "Fine! I suppose Grandpa Jonathan does deserve his body back. But you better give back mine soon, you wretched plasma-sipper, or else--"

A loud scream from the kitchen interrupted the exchange caught everyone's attention, as Okuyasu rushed into the room, carrying a noisy bundle under his arm.

"It's alright, bro! Happy holidays!" Okuyasu said in an anxious voice.

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY BODY?!" replied a voice from the bundle.

Okuyasu noticed the awkward stares of the crowd. "Oh, yeah, sorry about that. I'd just like you to meet by brother, Keicho!" he said with a grin, lifting up the struggling and clearly displeased head for everyone to see.

"YOU RESURRECTED A HEAD WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?!" Dio cried furiously. "Do you know how WRONG you could have gotten that spell?"

"I'm impressed someone like you could actually pull it off," Vanilla shrugged.

"Oh, it's just like playing a video game! He seems alright. Er...mostly," Okuyasu boasted. "Welcome back, big bro, and merry Christmas?"

Keicho's head glared at Okuyasu from his arms. "You have a LOT of explaining to do, young man."

---------

"So now that Jonathan's gotten his body back, what about the rest of us?" Zeppeli complained.

"I suppose Lord Dio found him an easier subject given he had a pre-existing body to begin with." Vanilla explained. "Yours will be harder, given his magic will have to recreate yours from scratch..."

"What about OUR bodies?" Steely Dan demanded. "They're still out there, aren't they?"

"If we can convince them to come back," Vanilla warned. "Last I heard they were cross-country skiing in Canada!"

A collective groan came from Alessi, Steely Dan and Mariah.

"Sucks to be you!" Okuyasu laughed at the trio of bullies.

"And to be me, huh?" Keicho mumbled from inside his jar.

"Oh, no no!" Okuyasu fumbled at his faux pas. "I promise I'll find a way to get your body back! Eventually..." he gave an awkward giggle.

Meanwhile on the floor, Caesar gave a nudge to Joseph as the latter tried to bounce.

"Ugh! I did NOT expect to spend the holidays stuck like you, Caesarino!" Joseph whined. "Now how can I pull off my Secret Joestar Technique with no legs to run with?!"

"You don't," Caesar stated flatly.

"Don't you have any classes or something to learn how to pull this off?!" Joseph complained.

"Well, I suppose Headucation 101 is cancelled for the semester, now that our lead teacher isn't a head anymore..." Caesar quipped, as he bounced over to the ledge overlooking the guest room, with Joseph clumsily following suit.

There, in the guest room, was Jonathan, dressed in a formal suit for the first time in a hundred years, on a body to call his own. Next to him was Erina, placed atop a mannequin body from the department store where Jonathan had worked as a display dummy when he was a head. She was "wearing" a bright red ballroom gown, and the mannequin was mounted on a set of swivel chair wheels, allowing Jonathan to tow her along.

"May I have the last dance with you, my dear?" Jonathan said, as he reached out to gently hold one of Erina's rubbery mannequin hands. Though she couldn't feel it, she felt his loving touch anyway.

"Of course you can, Jojo," Erina smiled. "I have waited a lifetime to dance with you again."

"As have I," Jonathan smiled. "Perhaps once your true body is restored we may dance together as we should...but for now, this will have to do."

As the festive music played on the radio, Jonathan held Erina's mannequin hands as they twirled about on the dance floor, smiling with pure joy as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Aww, that's so cute!" Tippy quipped.

"And weird," Bel added.

"But mostly cute," Vanilla concluded. "I suppose Mr. Jojo deserves it."

It wasn't quite the perfect way to cap off the bizarre adventures of the mansion, but for once, one problem had been fixed. The rest...would be harder and could come later.

But for now, there was only a moment that had waited a century. And to the two, all that mattered was the last dance put on hold for too long to wait.

"This is the best gift you could have ever given me, even if this mannequin body isn't exactly dance-worthy..." Erina said. "But it's a gift I treasure from the bottom of my metaphorical heart."

"And same to you, dear Erina," Jonathan said as he pulled her in for a hug, for the first time in many years.

"A happy holiday to you, my beloved."

"And to you as well."

[jennyboom21]

As a football fan, it’s not uncommon to see big NFL stars date celebrities. When I was growing up in Pittsburgh, the Steelers’ quarterback Terry Bradshaw dated figure skater JoJo Starbuck. That was such a big deal at the time. For a brief period, they were the "it couple."

Now, that pairing seems so simple.

A few years ago quarterback Russell Wilson, when he was with the Seattle Seahawks, married global singing superstar Ciara. Before their nuptials, it was Tom Brady, who of course married supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Sadly, the two divorced last year. Then, Brady made big headlines in late summer with rumors he was dating another model, Irina Shayk.

That pairing seems so simple now.

This weekend, the Miami Dolphins scored 70 points in their win against the Denver Broncos, whose quarterback is Wilson. Presumably, Wilson was consoled by his famous wife after that embarrassing defeat. The Dolphins had a total offense of 726 yards, just nine yards short of the NFL's all-time record set by the Los Angeles Rams way back in 1951.

During any other weekend, the Dolphins's history-making win would dominate sports news, and spill into general news as well, because wins and yardage like that are unheard of, even in a league where high passing and high-scoring games are the norm.

Also on Sunday night, the plane carrying my beloved Steelers was forced to land in Kansas City, Mo., on their way back from Las Vegas after defeating the Raiders. That, too, would be huge sports news and general news, but alas, the emergency landing in Kansas City wasn't the biggest thing to even happen in that city on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, Taylor Swift appeared in a private box at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, to watch the Chiefs manhandle the Chicago Bears 41-10. Presumably, Swift wasn’t there as a Chiefs fan or to watch the action. She was there to watch her new beau, the Chiefs's tight-end, Travis Kelce — who scored a touchdown probably just to show off. Images of Swift cheering and screaming for Kelce in that private box with his family almost crashed social media.

Is Swift dating Kelce? Well, who knows, and you might say, who cares? But, a lot of the world cares, to put it bluntly. Starbuck, Ciara, and Gisele pale in comparison to the enormity of Swift. If Swift decided to date a tree, that tree would become a top tourist destination.

It’s called the Swift effect; similar it seems to the Oprah effect. Everything Swift touches turns to gold. Swift walked hand-in-hand with Kelce out of Arrowhead Stadium Sunday after the game, and since then, sales of Kelce’s #87 Chiefs’ jersey have soared over 400 percent, according to TMZ.

This relationship between Swift and Kelce – whatever or however long it is – has also caused the interwebs to almost crash. Young women and young gay men around the world are Googling “Travis Kelce” to find out all they can about Swift’s new hunk of a football player boyfriend – or acquaintance?

Similarly, many of the gay “Swifties” I know were reaching out to me on Sunday about Kelce. They know I’m a football fan, so they had many questions for me; Is Kelce any good Where is he from? Who are the Chiefs? Is he a homophobe?

Kelce is good, in fact, he’s one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Kelce has an older brother, Jason who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles. Their mother Donna has become somewhat of a celebrity herself. During the Super Bowl last year, where Travis’s team the Chiefs beat Jason's team, the Eagles, Donna was all over the place. The ultimate football mother. Happy for one son. Sad for the other. And now? After her picture alongside Swift ran wild over social media and the news on Sunday, Mrs. Kelce is the third biggest and current global superstar, behind Taylor and Travis.

As a side note, and for those who are obsessed with garnering as much knowledge about Kelce as they can get, this year’s Super Bowl win was his second win; the first being in 2020 when Kelce and the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers.

The Kelce brothers are creating a cottage industry for themselves. They have their own podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, and they have a documentary, Kelce, on Prime Video that is more about Jason, with Travis making frequent appearances. It’s actually pretty good, even if you’re not a football fan. Not to be outdone by his brother, Travis had a reality show on E! called Catching Kelce, that featured 50 women from 50 states in a dating competition. I guess Taylor decided to wait until the dust cleared with that many women pining for Kelce?

There’s no doubt in the world that every Swifty is downloading all the episodes of that The Bachelor riff, so that they can find out how to catch Kelce too, or about how Swift caught Kelce.

Finally, Travis Kelce is anything but a homophobe. Kelce told Outsports at the 2017 Pro Bowl (this is the game that features the NFL’s best players) that he’d support a gay teammate. “Anybody in this world [can play]. I’m comfortable with who I am and I expect everyone to be comfortable with who they are. I respect people for their views and opinions.”

And here’s a story about why you can love Kelce even if you’re not a Swifty or even a Gaylor — which is a subgroup of Swift fans who believe Taylor Swift is actually queer. In July, Bud Light released a commercial starring Kelce. In any other year, that wouldn’t raise an eyebrow, but we all know what happened with Bud Light in April with the Dylan Mulvaney imbroglio, and Bud Light’s inexcusable reaction to the extreme right boycotting the beer.

In the face of that boycott, by angry cisgender straight white men who were shooting cans of Bud Light or pouring them down the drain, Kelce metaphorically flipped them the bird by swigging the beer. And for his bravery and f-you attitude towards the narrow-minded, they retaliated by calling for a boycott of Kelce and by calling him "woke." (How do you boycott a human being, let alone one that is 6’5” and weighs 250 pounds?) Kelce could have cared less about what they thought of him endorsing Bud Light. In fact, he was seen drinking the beer at a golf tournament soon after the ad was released.

This week, Kelce released a video announcing his partnership with Pfizer as part of an educational campaign to remind people to get their flu and COVID-19 vaccine shots, preferably at the same time. In his Instagram video, Kelce says, “With my schedule, saving time is key. The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop! Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it would be right for you. You can also visit CDC’s vaccines.gov to learn more and schedule an appointment.”

As you can imagine, the anti-vaxxers and the extreme right are horrified that Kelce is endorsing the same "phooey" and hawking the same “poisons” that their number one vaxxing nemesis Dr. Fauci championed. For his efforts, Kelce is a champion too.

Finally, Kelce hosted Saturday Night Live earlier this year after winning the Super Bowl, and appeared in a memorable sketch with Bowen Yang as his “Straight Male Friend,” as Yang's character seeks some balance after being the one gay guy in a group of straight women.

While the world tries to dissect Kelce in every imaginable way possible, as they scoop up his jersey in record numbers, we can take some solace in the fact that Kelce will have no problem with queer Swifties or even the Gaylors.

One of my gay Swifty friends asked me what the story is with Travis's hunky brother Jason. I was sorry to tell him that he is happily married to his wife Kylie, and that they have three young daughters who will be the envy of young girls worldwide some day soon, when they get a new Aunt Taylor.

Deon coming out headcanons

My headcanons on how dwk characters reacted to Leon and Deniz dating

1. The gang

I don't think any of them would have been really bothered by that. Maybe Vanessa would start to mock these two, especially Leon, and make silly gay jokes around them but in the friendly kind of manner.

Raban probably would've been surprised and asked stupid questions, but he would accept this fact eventually.

Jojo is like the most tolerant in their group, so he would be pretty chill about it and be like "If you're happy, I'm happy :)"

Markus and Marlon would've said "Yeah, I knew" or sarcastically clap and say wooooow that is a brand new information!!1!

2. Willi and Hadschi

I think Willi wouldn't understand it at first and would probably say something similar to "Well you just never had a good girlfriend" or "You're too young to know who you are", but after some time would realize that these bitches are actually gay and be like "oh well, good for them I guess".

Hadschi is a simple man. I don't think he would really care about it at all and just say "Ok, so?".

3. Their parents

Leon's dad would be fine with it and probably ask his son about his bf a lot and invite Deniz to family celebrations.

Deniz's situation with dad wouldn't be so bright, on the other hand. At first, Erol would take it as a joke, but as soon as he realized that it wasn't, he would become disappointed and even angry, like it was in S1 E5. They would have a talk about how wrong it is for a man to be with another man, but this time Deniz would fight for his right to date Leon, which, unfortunately, wouldn't result into anything. They probably wouldn't talk for a while, just basically existing near each other (mostly at the late evening or night, since Deniz would leave the house for a whole day), then the man would try to "fix" his son by finding him a girl to date. He would even try to prohibit him talking to Leon, because "he's spoiling him". Actually Erol and Deniz would have a very, uhh, strained relationships for a first couple of months, but after that, his father would proceed to have an actual conversation with his son in which they would finally reach some level of understanding. Though for Erol it's still weird, at least he's not trying to change his son and kinda hopes he would "outgrown" it. But as the time goes on, he learnes to accept his son for what he is and be more of a supportive father.

mojo took him claw and went on to the dance floor and begin to dance over the blood moon they begin to talk

mojo: listen I know our son passed away but we'll get through it together we can make our own memory

him: but it is really a new memory we can make

mojo: since our boys are gone and maybe one day we will be together forever so

Mojo stop bent down on his knees and pull out of wedding ring

him put his claws on his mouth of shock then he broke down into tears

him yes I will

everyone look at them then a scene went to the blood moon until text pop up that said 15 years later I went to the hospital when the Powerpuff Girls waiting

princess: okay him doing great just one more push

him begin to push Mojo is holding onto his claw

it was a little boy with bright blue eyes just like his father's Him and Mojo looked at each other with tears of joy in their eyes, finally having their own new beginning after so much loss. The Powerpuff Girls smiled as they watched the new family, knowing that even in the midst of tragedy, hope and love can still prevail. The blood moon had brought a new chapter for the villains, and they were grateful for the second chance at happiness. The City of Townsville would always remember that fateful blood moon dance, where even the most unexpected love stories can begin.

The end

Next Star Wars Celebration is coming back to LA in 2027 😭 gotta round up as many friends as I can (by that I mean 3 friends, well maybe more if I can convince my best friend and a couple others to go or fly down here). Really wish i could have gone this year since it was in Japan BUT I have to go next time cause it’ll be celebrating Star Wars 50th!

There were a lot of reviews at Celebration as always and I’m excited for a lot of them! I guess here’s my ranking media wise

Andor Season 2: honestly what made Andor so special was that it was a spy drama while also focusing on the political side of Star Wars. So season 2 is shaping up to be amazing and they said it’ll change the way you look at Rogue One. I needa rewatch season 1 before it comes out soon in a couple days.

Maul Shadow Lord: DARTH MAUL IS BACK BABBYYYYYYYY 😭 Also a show about how he became he be came a crime lord before Rebels, look it’s not needed BUT it’s fucking Darth Maul man, I’m just happy to see more of Darth Maul, cause it’s honestly crazy how bro was originally planned to be a bigger threat in the prequels and live up until AOTC but George changed his mind and killed him off in PM and then was like “let’s bring him back for Clone Wars” which is how he became such a popular character. Since in PM, I’m not gonna lie he was such a nothing character 😭 but Clone Wars actually gave bro depth and I love how they made him a mad man but one that never lied and went from revenge to trying to do the “right” thing in a sense. I put right in quotations cause he was probably tryna benefit from changing history lmao ok well every character would have benefited if Maul actually achieved his goal in Season 7 of Clone Wars.

Star Wars Starfighter: Ok not much is known about this film so far aside that it’s currently in Preproduction, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling. This is either gonna be really bad but a meme, or it’s gonna be peak lol

Ahsoka Season 2: So we know Hayden Christensen is returning as Anakin (praying they get Ewan back so we can get another Clone Wars flashback, wanna see Ewan in Obi’s Clone Wars armor 😩), but Dave Filoni who is writing all 8 eps on season 2 confirmed Zebb is gonna be back which is honestly great cause there was no reason for him to have been missing from season 1 😔, also they mentioned there’s gonna be some sort of war/battle and more Chopper! Lesss goooo we getta see more of Chopper committing war crimes! Tho the biggest reveal that I am really excited for is they confirmed that Thrawn will be fighting Admiral Ackbar 😭 I’m sorry but I PLS GIVE ME THAT SHIT RN, they took another thing from the EU or Legends and made it canon!!!!! Give me my favorite Mon Calamari fighting a blue guy

Star Wars Visions Vol 3: The Ninth Jedi- Ok so I have not seen the rest of Visions but we getting more Star Wars anime!!!!! Also David Productions who worked on the JoJo animes is one of the 9 studios that are working on this show so…. Imma probably watch the previous 2 seasons before I watch Ninth Jedi

Mandalorian and Grogu: Mando was a good show, so excited for the movie next year it’s lower on the list cause we still don’t know what it’s about and no Boba in it 😔 but it’ll be a good movie, so regardless I’m still excited!

Moving onto Merch (that I care about)

SH Figuarts General Grievious: After years of being on display only and nearly forgotten cause Bandai made too many Sequel SHF figures when they initially launched their Star Wars Line back in 2017 so they didn’t sell as well. But now that they’re back in the game mainly doing reissues, they teased Grievious and oh my god we’re finally getting a figure of Grievious that’s not underscaled like the one Hasbro did for the black series 😭 hopefully he’s gonna have swappable arms cause Hasbro trying to replicate the arms actually splitting into four was not great… pretty sure it will cause it looks similar enough to the model kit ver

Black Series Chewbacca- ok we’re finally getting a good Chewie figure and honestly this might be what jumpstarts my OG trilogy display cause my Star Wars display so far is mainly Prequels/Clone Wars

OG trilogy display doesn’t seem too bad tho cause there’s less characters all I need are the quartet, the droids, Lando, Vader, 1 of each rebel trooper, a couple stormies and maybe the emperor. Other characters are optional, certainly not as bad as the prequels, cause the prequels introduced a lot of characters and Jedi and Clone Wars adds on top of that pile while also fleshing out the characters that were already established. Since unlike with Clone Wars which was meant to take place between EP II and III to expand on the Clone Wars since George didn’t have enough time to show the war in the prequels so he just showed us how it began and how it ended, just not the three year time span, for the OG trilogy on the other hand, the shows normally take place pre ANH and post ROTS focusing on the rise of the empire and the rebellion or post ROTJ, so Andor/Rogue One and Rebels will most likely be on another shelf and Mando will be on another shelf (if I do decide to collect those)

SH Figuarts Mace Windu -classic ver-: this is practically just a reissue of the one Bandai released way back but with a new soft goods tone included and an updated face deco that looks a lot like Samuel L Jackson. Although so far it’s display only, I’m kinda digging it and considering picking it up since I really need Mace in my display and I’ve been procrastinating HARD to get him. I honestly should have got him when Hasbro was selling the two pack with him and his clone since it was his clone wars look but I was just like “nah, I’ll wait” and it sold out 🗿So yea I really need a Windu and Prequel era Yoda as well. Honestly the only reason this is a maybe is because there’s a rumor among the toy community that Hasbro is going to be doing a 2 pack for Mace vs Paply and ooohhhh my gooooddd that’s gonna be a sweet set, and honestly the Jedi robe for the black series is a bit better looking than the SHF one but I’m not really a soft goods kinda guy so I’ll probably display them without the robe anyways.

Black Series A New Hope Han Solo, honestly the figure looks pretty good, Harrison Ford likeness isn’t the best but it’s not bad. On the fence about him as well since i like all of Han’s looks throughout the Original Trilogy so it’s hard for me to pick a specific figure for Han so… yea

Finally there’s SHF Dagobah Luke: He’s currently still in the prototype/ Display only stage but I need to see more of him in order to decide if I want to get him or not. Likeness to Mark Hamill is alright considering how no company has yet to get Mark Hamill’s likeness down in 6 in scale, like the arms and body proportions tho. Yoda looks a bit big but it’s fine lol. If they release him and they allow you to swap out the arms for his bespin jacket look, then I’ll probably pick it up, if not then oh well I’ll pass.

Either way super stoked for Celebration in 2027, imma do my best to get a job so i can actually get parts to build my PC and hopefully go to celebration in 2 year.

Honestly I really wanna cosplay, but… idk what to go as, oh well I got two years to figure it out. Currently what I’m looking forward to is just showing the bestie the OG trilogy the next time we hang out (hopefully next month) and the prequels this summer, unless she wants to see ROTS with me next Friday but she has DND so… doubt it lol. But yea super stoked

Mickey Rourke kicked off Big Brother after more bad behaviour

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/mickey-rourke-kicked-off-big-brother-after-more-bad-behaviour/

Mickey Rourke kicked off Big Brother after more bad behaviour

US actor Mickey Rourke is leaving Celebrity Big Brother UK after even more “unacceptable” behaviour following his vile homophobic spray towards JoJo Siwa.

The disgraced actor already copped a formal warning on the UK reality show earlier this week for his comments directed at Siwa, who’s gay.

But now Rourke is leaving the show after an incident with fellow housemate Chris Hughes.

“Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior,” a spokesperson for the show said.

No physical altercation took place, the spokesperson said, but Rourke used “threatening and aggressive” language.

Earlier this week, Mickey Rourke asked JoJo Siwa if she likes boys or girls.

JoJo replied, “Girls. My partner is non-binary,” to which Rourke replied, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”

JoJo responded, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”

The actor also announced he “needs a fag” and pointing at Siwa, saying, “I’m not talking to you.”

Rourke later said that he would “tie” up Siwa and also added, “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” to which JoJo called him a homophobe.

JoJo Siwa’s Aussie partner Kath Ebbs blasts Mickey Rourke

JoJo Siwa’s Australian partner Kath Ebbs also spoke out about their girlfriend’s treatment on the show. Kath called Mickey Rourke a “pig” and a “dangerous person” on their Instagram.

Kath said not only were the actor’s “beyond disgusting” remarks homophobic, they had “misogynistic and violent” undertones.

“He says he’s going to tie her up. That is a rape joke, that’s what that is. Call it what is is,” Kath said.

“[Siwa] shuts him down over and over again. He then goes, ‘Actually I’m going to get rid of you,’ which is rooted in misogyny.”

Kath demanded Rourke be removed from the show and praised JoJo’s castmate Chris Hughes for “having her back and comforting her”.

“Thank you Chris. Thank you for doing my job. I was very upset,” Kath said.

Kath said it’s allies that “we need in situations like this to stand up to f**king misogynistic, homophobic men.”

A spokesperson for Big Brother broadcaster ITV said, “All housemates receive respect and inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother senior team to prepare them for living in the house and to set out Big Brother’s expectation for appropriate behavior and language.

“Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and instances of inappropriate behavior are dealt with appropriately and timely.”
