#I'm sorry about the JoJo reference

[replacement-pasta]

Orange, my beloved

Orange is literally my favorite Touhou character, I don't know what took me so long.

I realized that I've gotten much better at anatomy so I got really excited. Honestly, this was me testing my skills because I improve a little bit and I go crazy lunatic insane.

1.5k / Cellmate’s nephew!Joel x inmate f!reader

thank you @iamasaddie for the mood board!!!

PART 2 HERE: Collect calls

Summary: Your cellmate introduces you to her hot nephew and he comes to visitation hours. A/N: Part 1 of 3. This one is due to @beskarandblasters and @wannab-urs and their hilarious list of new joel tropes and @raccoonhandedhottie's nerve to put the idea of doing one in my head. My masterlist WARNINGS: References to sex work, ACAB. Horny phone/visitation talk, mild/non-explicit over-pants masturbation. Mickey Avalon Easter egg.

Without Mabel, you're not sure how you would've survived your first six months in lock-up. You were cuffed for solicitation when a dirty cop wouldn't pay what he owed.  He says he took it easy on you -- you also clawed him and spit in his face.  As soon as you told your new cellmate what really happened, she took a liking to you. She said you should've bitten him in the pecker.   Mabel had been there, done that. She even knew of the cop who put you away.  It wasn't Mabel's first time behind bars. She had the ink and reputation to prove it. Her knuckles said "TAKE NONE" and that was accurate.  By now, nobody gave her any shit. Soon enough, no one gave you any either. 

Mabel had a few photographs on her wall, mostly of her and a younger man. Not a particularly young man, but certainly younger than Mabel. He was probably in his early forties in the pictures, which were five years prior, before she violated her parole. She was giving you a poke and stick tat of a four leaf clover on your hand one day when you asked about the pictures. 

"I was wonderin' when ya were gonna ask about my lil Jojo. I've seen ya lookin' at him, ya little horndog..." 

She let you stammer around in response. "No, I, I'm just, making conversation, wanna get to know you better." 

"It's okay, baby. He's my nephew. All I got left. He's a neat kid."

"He looks happy to be with you–ouch!"

"Don't be a pussy. Oh, he's a real sweet boy. Bet he'd like you, too."

"What makes you say that?"

She looked up from your hand "cause ya got a cunt and you're not bad lookin'," she laughed. "Hey,” she raised her eyebrows. “You ever wanna borrow one of those pics, you let me know, I'll give ya some privacy."

"No thanks."

"Oh, come on. You can fold it so ya don't have to see my pretty face." 

You laughed. 

"Bet he'd dick ya down real good, too."

"What?" You asked, quietly disturbed. 

"He lives with me. Walls are thin." 

"Ah. That must be awkward."

"Not really! We're all human. I could even tell ya the kinda shit he says if ya want. He can get real filthy.  Or shit, I could just give ya his number."

"That's ok."

"Baby, he'd love to hear from ya. Trust me. I've told him all about ya." She put down the needle and picked up a tissue to dab your skin. 

"You have??"

"Oh yeah. Here, I'm gonna write it down." 

She took one of the photos off the wall and wrote his number on the back. Then she folded it in half and winked at you as she handed it to you. 

—----------------

It only took a week of her nagging for you to call “Jojo.” 

Your breath hitched when you heard his smooth, deep voice. The first thing he said was, “Ah, call me Joel,” and you could hear the smile on his face. 

“Oh god, I’m sorry,” you laughed. “Well your aunt’s told me a lot about you, Joel.” 

“Yeah, I can only imagine what,” he faux grumbled. “Real character, ain’t she?”

“I love Mabel,” you blurted out. 

You found yourself opening up about how in some ways, she was more of a mother figure than you ever had.  Joel was easy to talk to. It just came pouring out. You told him about Mabel’s antics and the mischief the two of you got up to. Things you’d steal from the cafeteria. The way Mabel kept the ladies in line who tried to dom you. Next thing you knew, your time was up.  You apologized profusely for talking Joel’s ear off about yourself. 

“Nahhhh, it was nice,” Joel said. “Hell of a lot more interesting than my life.”

“Well it was good talking to you,” you told him. 

He said, “Hey, call me back any time.”

There was nothing sexy at all about that first conversation, but his voice did something to you.  You squeezed your thighs together when you got back to your cell and looked at the photo. Mabel kept giving you a knowing look. 

—------

You started calling Joel regularly.  Mabel told you he liked you a lot, but you weren’t sure if you should believe her. She seemed overly eager to set him up. The conversations were brief and casual. When you didn’t call him one week, the next time you spoke, he told you he missed the sound of your voice. 

Something came over you and you broke the tension. “My voice?” you asked. “Joel, your voice. . . you dunno what it does to me,” you blurted out. Zero to sixty, just like that. 

“Well damn,” Joel said. “Shoulda said somethin’. Coulda given ya better than stories about Mabel.” 

“Oh yeah? Like what?”

“Like whatever ya want, jailbird.” Your heart fluttered “Whatever gets ya hot and bothered.” 

“Honey, you could read me the phone book,” you told him. 

He chuckled. “Haven’t seen one of those in a few years.”  His voice was sexy to begin with but the sharp edge of the phone connection made it even hotter. 

After a moment of tense silence, he said, “Hey, uh, you notice any of your pictures missin’?”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, Mabel mailed me one. Didn’t tell me you were a fuckin’ smokeshow.”

You laughed bashfully. 

“Well she did. But I had to see it for myself, and shit”

“Well, thanks. You’re not bad looking yourself.” 

Your time was almost up. 

“Hey I’m comin’ to see Mabel later this week. Y’all got the same visitor’s night or what? Cause I’d love to see you, too, if it’s allowed.” 

“Nah, mine’s the next night.” 

“S’alright, i’ll come back for ya, sugar.” Your heart skipped a beat. 

“I’ve gotta go.”

“I know. Be good, jailbird.” 

—--------

It was visitation day and you were getting nervous. Mabel thought it was adorable. She helped you get ready. Did your hair nice. “He’s already smitten with ya, baby,” she said. 

You were escorted into the visitation room and sat at one of the booths, separated by glass, with a phone on each side. 

When Joel came in, you didn’t recognize him at first.  In just those five years, his beard had turned half-silver.  He was striking in person.  He was wearing a tight t-shirt and jeans. Tight jeans. You couldn’t help but size up the bulge in them. 

When you looked up at his face, he was raising his eyebrows at you like he caught you looking.  He sat down and put his elbows on the table. You picked up the phone, a little nervous, but more excited than anything.  He checked you out and smiled at you coyly before picking up the phone. 

“Like what ya see?” he said softly into the phone. 

You replied with a low whistle, then asked, “You always dress like a piece of meat?” He had a few hand tattoos of his own. Faded, blurred together. A spade between his thumb and forefinger. A spiderweb curving around one of his biceps. He’d probably done his own time. 

“When the hell are ya gettin’ outta here?”

“Up for parole next month,” you said. 

“No shit!” He looked genuinely excited. 

“Mabel didn’t tell you?”

“Thought she was yankin’ my chain.” He stretched his free hand behind his head and you watched his bicep.  “You been good? Think you’ll get out?” 

“Haven’t been bad.” 

“Good.” He lowered his voice. “‘Cause sugar, I’m gonna need to see what’s under that garb.”

You smiled with faux shyness, and he continued, “God damn,” looking at you like a juicy leg of lamb. 

You stared at each other, checking each other out for a moment. You watched his pupils dilate as your chest rose and fell with desire. 

You made small talk for a minute or two, all the while fucking each other with your eyes. But, things took a turn again.

“What do you miss the most?” he asked in a low, sultry voice. “Bet ya don’t miss the clients.” 

You shook your head. 

He lowered his voice further. “When’s the last time ya had a nice hard cock ya really wanted?”

Your eyes widened. “Shit, I dunno.” 

“Ohhh you’re in for it.” You looked around, paranoid, in disbelief that you could get away with a conversation like this. “Ain’t nothin’ harder than mine, baby.” He reached his hand into his lap. “Fuck. ‘specially for you.” You could see his arm moving very slowly but there was no mistaking what he was doing.  His eyes devoured you.

“Joel,” you sighed. “Fuck, I believe it.” 

And just like that, a guard approached him from behind. “Time’s up,” the guard said and glared at you.  You rolled your eyes as a guard approached you, too.

Joel said “Later, jailbird” and hung up the phone.  When he stood up, his massive erection was visible and made your heart skip a beat.  You glanced up to his face and he was wetting his lips. He winked at you with pink cheeks and your eyes immediately fell back to his crotch as he adjusted himself and the guard hurried him away. 

FUCK. You were gushing. Mabel’s Jojo. Joel. What a man.

LIVEBLOG: Wakfu Season 4, Episode 2 [PART 1]

I miss the grittier, browner Bonta of older seasons...

Agardoes what Jorisn't.

(totally not a joke I've been making for months now)

Moooooom Yugo was MEAN to me. Ngl Qilby was so good in this season, his interactions with Eliatrope are filled to the brim with insane implications.

Even more movie asset reusage. Ughh. The tavern Kerubim talked to Bakara at would NOT still be standing. It's canonically underwater and underground and shit. Like the rest of Dofus era Bonta.

Kettle insulting a pan for being on fire.

Ush will only have the right to insult him if he can stop fucking cats. <3

Both of these are also asset reusages but I'm too lazy to track down from where. The woman is from Aux Tresors, and the man is from Wakfu season 2, is all I can tell without further inspection.

I'm sure there's more stuff I missed, but I'm already annoyed enough that they decided to cut costs at every single corner even without looking further into it...

He's still a catfucker. Sad, oh well.

My beautiful wife.

[start talking shit about Ush as loud as possible the second he is in a hearing distance, in an exaggerated, expository way]

This is some school locker bully behavior, made funnier by the fact that the person actually doing all the bullying is Ush.

The way Atch starts staring here, and Ush immediately says "not here to fight, lol" just confirms the fact that this conversation is 90% all about letting Ush know he is not welcome <3

Something that makes me extremely mentally ill is about to happen, chat.

When it's Wakfu cast, who are Joris's friends whom he wants to impress, it's all "Papa... you're being awfully selfish for not letting us go and fight together with you :))"

But when it's Ush, it's immediately "whether my little Jojo is home or not depends entirely on what the fuck you want from him." as if Joris isn't a 600yo politician and kind of should hear whatever Ush has to tell him, and as if there aren't huge eyes in the sky that he was interested in.

Conspiracy theory: one of the reasons Joris is still single (besides the aromanticism, horrible personality, misantrophy, 20 psychiatric disorders, not wanting to be in relationships—) is that 99% of people who have ever had a crush on Joris were afraid of disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

Kerubim's little mad, unamused look...

I want to point out, once again, that when you actually pay attention to the OVAs and this moment, Atcham and Kerubim always kinda... act like Joris is a child.

Joris expressed that the eyes in the sky concern him? They try to stop Ush from talking to him outright. Because they don't like Ush, because they don't want Joris to investigate this, and because they want him to stay home.

Joris expressed that he doesn't want them to fight Ush together with him because he doesn't want to see them hurt? They don't give a shit, and try to express that in the softest way possible that won't embarrass Joris in front of his friends.

It feels like a mix of holding Joris on a leash, but also trying to wrap him in a cotton wool. Sometimes it helps Joris, sometimes it's just patronizing.

Ngl they do have good reasons to protect their [checks notes] 600-year-old ambassador from this guy.

You have no idea what this moment means to us, Atcham fans. All three of us.

Kerubim's expression..... probably gauging how likely it is that Atcham might start screaming or clawing at something.

Words can't express how much of a Gift this entire scene is.

Atcham looks like he's about to lose his anger management badge. Kerubim looks like he's scared that Ush is going to die or kill Atcham in self-defense.

HE'S SO SCANDALIZED.

The anger management classes + not wanting to be arrested?

KERUBIM SO UNAMUSED.

Kerubim is probably so used to seeing Atcham freak the fuck out about things. It's his brother's special charm.

[wipes tear] He's learned to love the bomb.

...sorry for making references to the band glass animals. it will happen again,. if you dislike that maybe you should learn to love the bomb too.

[dafukdidiwatch]

So trying something new

This is gonna be different since like, idk how to promote it or whatever. Sorry for not blogging for Jnewne this year. Life found a way to stop me.

But I am gonna try something new. In the YouTube channel that I never use now I'm going to try and stream playing Final Fantasy 14 with a close friend of mine

I know nothing about Final Fantasy (he does) and I made the most edge lord character I could make (he doesn't know that). I also think k I accidentally named my character as a Jojo reference which I wouldn't get

So yeah, I'll try to post the link for that here or discord. I....don't have a time so that's actually dumb of me. But you can watch or not I'm just gonna fuck around and find out

Worldbuilding and Backstory Food for Thought

Source: Scott's Sept 20th stream (1:22:20–1:24:24 at linked unofficial VOD); transcript under cut for reference

Summary

p!Scott questions how the new pirates could have got past the Ice Wall into the Ecclesiae Sea and onto the Faction Isles

p!Owen and p!Apo make fun of him for allegedly being a sheltered nepo baby who doesn't know other people live in Ecclesia

p!Owen also reveals he's from an upper-class city called Oakhurst, spelling tentative as of time of writing

Questions

Because we genuinely don't know the geography of Ecclesia or the SMP world, I think p!Scott actually has a point – where did everyone come from? What is the geography of Ecclesia like?

Just because p!Owen assumes Oakhurst is located within the Ice Wall doesn't mean it actually is; we don't know enough about the geography of Ecclesia to tell yet

We know Ecclesia/the region near the Faction Isles have been used as a "shortcut" for trading ships (from one of the treasure quest descriptions), suggesting there is ocean beyond Ecclesia as well and land far beyond the area. We also know one of the navies lurk north of Ecclesia (from p!Sausage's backstory), that places like Naya and p!Eloise's hometown exist, etc.

Many questions about the Ice Wall: when did it first appear, if p!Owen never saw it? Who made it and how was it done? Why does it exist in the first place? We know it has something to do with the cultists and the corruption, but nothing concrete just yet

Annotation: This discussion was first made on the POWCreations Discord server on Sept 22nd, 2023

Transcript

S: Question: where are all these new people coming from? We're trapped in an Ice Wall. O: Yeah, they [Eret, Jojo, and Seapeekay] were– they just apparently woke up in a cage and there were some hooded figures in the island, like the island they were in. And then they escaped, I guess? And stole their ship, and now they're here. S: Yeah, but there was also new people [Shelby, Shep, and Sniff] yesterday as well. O: Yeah, just a coincidence, I guess. A: (overlapping) I think there's other people that live inside the Ice Wall besides us. O: Yeah, it's not just us, there's like, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people across this world. S: Just in the Ice Wall? O: Yeah! S: (out of character) [It's] the Simpsons movie all over again. O: Oh, wait, you've only ever lived on this island. S: Yeah. O: Apo, where'd you come from? S: (out of character) Where did you go? Where did you come from, Apo– I'm sorry. O: Like, you know, what town where you in before you came to the Faction Isles? Surely there were people there, right? A: Oh, you know, places and things and stuff. O: Okay, well, I was from Oakhurst. S: Ohh. Never heard of it. O: Yeah, no, no, you wouldn't have, it's quite a high-class place. So, yeah, I don't know– I came from there, and then I ran away, and I live here. But there was like– That was a whole city, there was people, I just choose not to go back. S: Oh, well, I mean– Is that within the Ice Walls? O: Yeah! […] I assume so, 'cause I sailed here on a trading vessel and we didn't hit an Ice Wall! S: True. Weird. Hm. O: Other cities exist. Of course, like, it's not even just us. If you look in, like, the Heron scripture banks, you'll find there's like, at least 50 Herons, they're just all out on missions right now. S: Well, I know that because I am a Heron, I know that other Herons exist. O: Oh, well, there you go, there you go! There's lots of people in the world! S: Yeah, it just felt strange. O: (to Apo) Oh, he's lived a sheltered life. It's okay. A: Yeah, nepotism baby, it's just how it is. O: There's no judgement. S: It feels like judgement. O: There's no judgement. A: It's okay, nepo baby. O: Mummy and Daddy will be back soon and then you won't have to meet any new people. S: You two are lucky I don't set the Kangacrew on you.

[gordonzola-ramen]

My mutual @alectricblue tagged me in this game tag! I normally dont do these, but I thought it'd be nice to get to know me more (and also meet y'all if you wish to participate)!

It will be long though. Sorry

1. Were you named after anyone?

Was originally gonna be named Andrea after a ballerina my grandma liked! Sadly no one remembered her well, not even grandma, so I don't know much about her.

My deadname was simply just chosen bc it was easy to pronounce, as well as my chosen name Diego (it's what I would've been called had I been male), although when I chose it for myself I liked the JoJo character Diego Brando so there was some correlation there.

Funnily enough, people think I'm nicknamed Lio after the Promare character, but I hadn't met them yet.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Yesterday. At 11pm. Watching OR3O's One Piece song. It was nostalgic ok

3. Do you have kids?

Nope. There's an absurd amount of reasons I don't want them, although not a single one is because I dislike them. I've had to babysit many kids and they've all been very sweet.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

Oof, my recent sports is taking my dog for a walk. But I used to like volleyball and kickball! And reluctantly played soccer and did swimming! Sports give me a lot of anxiety and i'm not sure why.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

I do a lot of teasing and lighthearted banter that can sometimes be considered sarcasm?

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their eyes! Or anything outstanding like cool hairstyles or visible tattoos.

With online people, I mostly recognize them by pfp or a vague mental pronunciation of their username.

7. What's your eye color?

Dark brown?? Or black??

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Honestly, whatever makes me think more. Unhappy endings tend to do that more though, so I guess scary movies! But of course it depends on the mood, sometimes I just want a nice story to cheer me up.

9. Any talents?

I've been told I am talented at the piano! And music in general, although most of my skills feel less like talent and more like just studying the thing.

10. Where were you born?

So I was born in the US, in Florida, but my entire family is from Costa Rica and I just happened to be born while my parents were studying abroad. I don't remember much from the US though, I came back to CR with my grandma in my first months because she was less busy than my parents, and then they came to live here again. So in my eyes I've been a true Costa Rican since always hehe

11. What are your hobbies?

Playing the piano! Also drawing sometimes (I like to color more than draw, but unless I get my hands on a coloring book I can't do that unless I draw), playing videogames (mostly RPGs and visual novels), and doomscrolling.

12. Do you have any pets?

YESSSS my beloved dog Mia!!!!!!!!!!! I love her so much, she escaped her abusive home and we found her while walking around a plaza, said hi, and she followed us home. She's been with us for 8 years now and I adore her. Reference below because how can I not show her off:

13. How tall are you?

Excellent question. I forgot but I'm average if that helps!

14. Favorite subject in school?

It changed over the years, in senior year it was English because we had my favorite teacher! I knew him for years because he has a literature club I partook in, so I was very happy to have classes with him. Plus, we saw the Oresteia, which goes tremendously hard especially when your teacher geeks out about all the symbolisms.

Apart from that, computer class! We barely ever had it, and almost had it cut out entirely in senior year, but the few times we did I really enjoyed programming and practicing typing! And when we didn't do anything we could play so.

15. Dream job?

I want to make my own videogame! So I'd say a game developer, although being a part of any videogame, especially RPGs, would be a dream come true.

Well thank you for reading, I hope that was some insight, it was very fun to reply!

Random's Lore Drops - Sand Under Table (FR this time)

Alright, so basically, i hate my shitty sans lore drop so i'm making a real one. Ready? Because it's time for...

Cursive, Cursive the Skeleton. Wait what do you mean it's not Cursive? Oh, Sans? sorry. Sans, Sans the Skeleton.

Time to rant. Like, REALLY rant. So, Sans The Skeleton. You know him, you love him, or you hate him. I'm in the middle-ground. I don't give a fUCK about that twat. He's the face of Undertale (but most definitely not what defines it), as well as the first person you meet in Snowdin, excluding Mister Camera which people usually miss (it's in the bush right as you exit). He's a comedian skeleton who likes to play pranks, and also tells over half as many puns as Papyrus (wild ain't it?). His first introduction is not at the gate, but instead the walk to it, where you get to watch his shadow move around as you walk, and also watch as he snaps a stick with ease (don't ask how). As you might know, he's completely nihilistic, and refuses to fight you until you actually end up being a threat. That's right, first degree murder on everybody except those two Froggits you forgot about in the Ruins makes you not a threat, but a Genocide route does. Why? Well, it's simple. You become a threat to the timeline. Now, it's to note he DOESN'T remember resets, only being able to tell by Frisk's expression (which is not related to your input). He also doesn't have the deja vu that others have, instead noting down things during resets, like Frisk turning around before he tells them to, and them acting like they did everything before. He DOES, however, state that there are reports of timelines shifting left and right, which means he has some sort of machine to tell. It's pretty known, but the reason he doesn't kill you isn't out of laziness, but instead, having a promise. He outright tells you that he'd kill you in a paci/neutral route during the "date" with him. He is CANONICALLY only friends with Toriel, and even then, he never knows her name until the pacifist pre-ending cutscene, before Asriel. sans.™ literally could not give any less of a shit, but because he knew Toriel for a while, albeit due to the power of knock-knock jokes, he ended up accepting. He also states that he HATES making promises. His attitude really tells a lot, as, even in his boss fight in the Genocide route, he does not give a SHIT about it. He constantly looks like he's joking, and he does NOT act overly emotional in any situation, with the most emotional that he gets being to tell yourself to politely go fuck thyself by telling you to burn in hell, and calling you a dirty brother killer. He still CARES about people, he just rarely shows it. That "dirty brother killer" line really shows it. After all, how would YOU feel if broke into YOUR planet, into YOUR country, into YOUR town/city, and killed your only family member and then said I was above consequences for that. ...Ignore the "your planet" line. Trust me I come from Earth. It's also shown based by his room that he is NOT a clean person. His first stand stinks of condiments, he sells hotdogs at his own stand, and it's assumed that he LITERALLY has the exact same stand everywhere, based on the snow on the roof, which never disappears in any instance of his stand (stand, IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!?!?). His only role, aside from comedic relief, is the final Genocide boss (which he is known as), and the guy to judge you before you go to Asgore, since that is his only role. Now, onto personal hate. People DON'T realize that he's not fucking FIGHTING you because you're a threat to the kingdom, but because you're going to ERASE the timeline, and when something's erased, it usually never comes back. It's because of the timeline possibly being erased forever, in which he fights you and tries to off you. He doesn't know about the "deal" that the Player makes with Chara, in which you trade your SOUL to recreate the timeline from square one. (my personal headcanon for if Sans ever remembers you're genocides is to go fuck off elsewhere, since there's no reason to fight, right? After all, you're not permanently erasing the timeline, he has no reason to fight. It may be erased, but it keeps coming back, even if YOU don't recreate it, because another Player will.)

Asks Compilation 11/12

I never considered that Aradia could be feeling sincere gratitude towards Equius - that's a good point, and might partially explain her flushed feelings for him. Similarly, I never thought about how difficult and impractical a relationship would be for Equius, given he has this kind of strength paired with this kind of dexterity.

Anyway, I half-agree with your thesis. I can imagine a hypothetical kismesissitude between an older, more mature Equius and Aradia, and I think that relationship could potentially be healthy, for the reasons you describe.

But the one we're getting is doomed from the start - Equius's mind-control shenanigans have pretty much torpedoed the whole thing. I don't think he can have a healthy relationship until he figures out why that was wrong.

I'll give you a freebie right now - most of the Jojo villains would fit right in with the Felt!

Yeah, it's not like romantic rivalry is a new idea. Really, the more I think about it, the more I think Hussie's riffing on real relationship tropes with all the quadrants.

Hell, I could probably list some fictional characters that work pretty well as Moirails - and I'm not just talking about The Locked Tomb!

[ sent when you posted your troll ranking! - C ]

She's the best, she's the worst, and she's destined for great terrible things.

Sorry Eridan - someone had to nab last place!

He does have a great design. The cape and scarf work well together - I can see how he'd be easy and fun to cosplay.

We have two opposing views here, and they both make good arguments. Aristocrats do tend to be egotistical by nature - but Alternia would expect him to act that way, even if it wasn't his natural tendency.

I personally don't think Eridan ever intended to exterminate the land-dwellers, but I'm not sure he ever realized that himself.

Don't forget Insane Clown Hussie, which is when your webcomic author keeps putting more harlequins in their story.

Toby, what are you doing back in my ask box? Get outta here, you scamp!

Ayy!

It's funny, I never considered that many people are reading through the liveblog/chrono/ tag. I'm almost never on my blog's page; I see it through the dashboard!

Happy belated birthdays, Jade, Dave, and, Rose!

Odd. It really looks like John's birthday should be December 2nd. Maybe something went wrong with his meteor.

The Newtonverse is a corruption of Homestuck, but Homestuck is already a parody of a million other things. It's one layer too deep, and feels 'wrong' as a result.

Unless Cool and New Webcomic is a similar style of parody, in which case, who knows? Maybe the Newtonverse is simply real, and trying to break into our reality.

Yeah, that makes sense. She certainly looks like a classic eldritch monster.

I can't see the commentary - I assume because some of it contains spoilers. For comments that don't spoil anything, feel free to send them along.

It's always very tempting to check out other livebloggers so I can compare and contrast. I won't, though - quite aside from any worries about spoilers, I just don't want to influence my own opinions!

This has always been a blind spot with me, and it always will be. Try as I might, I will never recognize the difference between Rouge and Rouge.

I knew the comic had about 8000 pages, but it's good to know it clocks in at 8128.

It annoys me more than it should that it's not 2^13, or 8192. It would have been a nice round number to finish on!

Thank you, and welcome!

Eridan's beliefs don't really make sense - but it makes sense that they don't. It's bigotry, after all.

He knows trolls like Kanaya, and can clearly see that there's nothing inferior about her - but he can't let go of what he's been taught, so he just doesn't address it, and continues on as normal.

This comic is damn long, so it's a fun reference to make.

I'd probably pick one. No special reason - I just sort of vibe with the number, and it's the closest to something kooky like zero, or a negative number.

I would have picked the cueball, but I don't think I want Scratch as a rival...

Ok, that's fair, actually.

I love how she's trying to 'cull' them.

It's a good bit. I wonder if this means Hussie's trollsona is a green-blood, like Kanaya?

Read it!

It's not intended to! The others all link to the post where the work was recommended to me, but Con Air wasn't recommended - it's just a movie slightly relevant to Homestuck. I have it up there for completeness, and it's underlined for consistency.

The Dorm Leaders as Jojo fans

AN: this is just some silly goofy hc that caters to me specifically.

Riddle Rosehearts

Phantom Blood enjoyer

Started as a manga reader and is rightfully horrified at Dio's actions (if you know you know).

Giorno is his favorite Jojo.

Joseph's wittiness and Caesar's hotheaded personality reminds him a lot of Ace and Deuce.

Was devastated at S1 Ep 19 where they have that breakup arc and in the next episode where...yeah...

Trey can hear his cry of anguish from down the hall.

He does not tolerate part skipper in a "How can you just skip the basic fundamentals of the story?? Blah blah blah" type a way.

Jonathan defender. Doesn't take kindly to people who call Jonathan boring or "Phantom Blood mid".

I'd say that his favorite OP is probably Traitor's Requiem

Doesn't really have time to get caught up so he recently just finished Golden Wind.

Leona Kingscholar

A basic Stardust Crusaders fan

I'm sorry, but he looks like he'd be a part skipper 😭 (I'm still gonna give him the benefit of the doubt)

He's not gonna skip Stone Ocean tho, that's for sure.

Jotaro and Jolyne are his favorite Jojos

I feel like he'd be a Jolyne kinnie due to the fact that they both have parental issues

Doesn't take kindly to people who slander Jolyne

If he doesn't skip parts, I'd say that Kars is his favorite Jojo villain.

Doesn't admit it but he was pretty devastated at the "My name is Emporio" scene and cried silently.

I can see him having Sono Chi no Kioku as his favorite OP or maybe he's a rare Chase enjoyer (Chase is actually a great OP, people are just mean :(( )

Is currently halfway through Steel Ball Run

Y'know he actually shares the same VA as Weather Report in the anime.

Azul Ashengrotto

Heard about it from Idia in the Board Game club when he was making a funny quip about having the upper hand but he didn't get the joke and Idia's like "uh, it's a Jojo reference, dude" and everyone else in the club got the reference.

Rare Jojolion enjoyer

Jodio is actually his favorite Jojo

His favorite character is Kishibe Rohan (no, I will not elaborate).

His favorite villain is Yoshikage Kira

I can see him being a Fighting Gold enjoyer

Jojo poses in private and the twins caught him doing it one day.

Kalim Al-Asim

Makes Jamil sit down and watch with him.

His favorite part is either Battle Tendency or Diamond is Unbreakable

Josuke is his favorite Jojo

Likes Joseph too, but he cheated on Suzie Q so that takes away some of the points. But at the same time Joseph cheating gives us Josuke, and he really likes Josuke so...yeah

Cried like a bitch during S1 Ep 20 (same)

I don't see him actually liking any of the villains but if he had to pick a favorite I'd say he'd pick Diavolo

When the ED of Golden Wind came on, Jamil covered Kalim's ears so fast. Toniiiiight~ I need your boooody~

Likes Great Days

Bonus: Jamil is a Golden Wind fan, his favorite character is Pannacotta Fugo and he actually reads Purple Haze Feedback (and cried).

Vil Shoenheit

Stone Ocean enjoyer, both the part and the OP

He also really likes the aesthetics of Golden Wind

Jolyne defender #2

Doesn't trust people who don't like Jolyne and sees it as an immediate red flag (same).

Pucci is his favorite villain.

I'd say his favorite character is Lisa Lisa. I feel like he's either aspiring to be like her or "god she is so me fr"

Trish kinnie (idk, to me specifically he kinda reminds me of her)

He reads the manga but hasn't had the time to get caught up.

He needs to know why or how Araki never ages in any of the pictures of him.

Idia Shroud

Manga reader and is caught up to the recent chapters

His favorite part is Steel Ball Run

Johnny kinnie

Doesn't tolerate part skipper but in an elitist gatekeepy type of way

Sings Sono Chi no Sadame on top of his lungs in his room.

Would never admit it but he had the cringy "Ora Ora Muda Muda Kono Dio da!" Phase (it's a Canon event almost every Jojo fan has to go through).

The kind of Jojo fan I do not want to interact with. Ever. (Mf is canonically insufferable to talk to irl)

Idk he just gives me the annoying SBR fan vibes.

He actually shares the same VA as Baoh in Jojo ASBR

Malleus Draconia

Phantom Blood Enthusiast

Finishes Phantom Blood and was like that clip of Clone High Gandhi where he's just like "wow...I- I need a minute to think about this..." And doesn't touch the series for a while. I don't think he knows that there are more parts.

I feel like the only Jojo media he watched is the old Phantom Blood OVA that is now considered a lost media.

Lilia finds him sulking in his room and when he asks him what's wrong, he just replies "Jonathan and Erina deserves happiness" and doesn't say any more than that.

Number one JonaEri shipper. If JonaEri has a million fans, he is one of them. If JonaEri has one fan, he is the one. If JonaEri has zero fans, he's already dead.

Enjoys Dio as a villain.

Loves the old OVAs

Feel free to add more or if you'd like to disagree, I'm open for discussion.

https://www.tumblr.com/thatgirl4815/729494704908025856/after-rewatching-the-ep8-preview-a-few-more-times

this makes sense to me too but honestly i keep having the the thought that maybe the whole point is that sand will continue letting ray walk all over him until it finally ends in their relationship being over for good. idk it just feels like we’re never going to see ray at the least respect sand and maybe that’s the point …..he won’t until maybe the very until end when he realizes what he’s truly done and what he’s lost. but he won’t be able to come back from it in regards to his relationship with sand. sorry for being negative 😭😭 it just feels like that’s where it’s going. right now my only hope is khao saying ray works out his feelings/has growth and that thread that screenwriter retweeted.

but imagine if the sandray scene from the ep 8 preview is out of context and i’m getting high blood pressure from all week for nothing. i don’t think so though because idk how ray’s words could be taken out of context and be less negative than i’m assuming especially not with that smug ass face he has on

I think that Ep8 preview could start wars tbh because the emotional damage it has dealt the majority of the fandom is honestly insane.

I can definitely see a version of this story where Ray realizes too late how he feels and the whole SandRay story ends on a very sour note. I'm choosing not to believe that that is where the story is going though because of those things you mentioned (Khao's comments and what the screenwriter retweeted). Also want to callback to the interview where FK said their characters end up together in the end (I believe the interview was done before filming, but it could still be worth something). Finally, I believe that Jojo and others made reference to FK filming a scene that was "hotter than life" and we haven't seen it yet to the best of my knowledge, so that could be a good sign?

This might be naive, but looking back on everything, I think that SandRay has been portrayed too well to go down the shitter because of RayMew--especially because Ray's crush on Mew has always been the problem. If anything, we're working towards resolving the biggest threat to Sand and Ray's relationship. In that sense, I'm glad we've gotten the ball rolling so we can get the heartbreak over with as fast as possible.

It makes me wonder: What are the showrunners trying to convey with SandRay's relationship? Not trying to say that every story has to have a moral, but in the case of this couple, what are we meant to take away from it? It could be that we don't realize what we have until it's too late. But something about that feels almost cruel given Ray's addiction problems.

Ray has seemed so hopeless this entire show except when he is with Sand (and Mew, but I think he'll realize that a relationship with Mew has always been just a fantasy). He's incredibly lonely. And for him to end up lonely in the end would just...rip my heart out. So even if Ray and Sand don't end up together, I am at least hoping for an ending where Ray is able to get the help he needs and have people in his life he can rely on. For my part, I believe Sand will remain a large part of Ray's support system.

[mizerable-drowning]

fanmade designs of michael's uno buddies! I wanted to do last month... but they're scuffed :') (esp Michael, he's the last one drawn and I really was tired for him... HE LOOKS HORRIBLE IM SORRY MIKE LOL I LOVE YOU MIKE PLEASE I PROMISE I CAN DRAW YOU PROPERLY)(I'm aware how easily I can resize certain things)

the jeremy/bonnie bro was already drawn by the ooftroop, he's there for refence

theyre moreso concepts because i am not satisfied with them, but I'll leave notes!

Chica and Fred uno buddies are surfboys! basing off what the ooftroop said about them moving out of utah, I had the random idea of them becoming pro surfers before becoming marine biologists

why? idk, fredbro gave me surfer dude vibes and I went with it.

I notice jeremike's eye colors paralell with each other, obviously

foxy = red

bonnie = blue

so i did that with fred and chicabro! chicabro's shirt is sapphire, I desaturated it and made it more purple-y for fredbro's eyes, I made chicabro's eyes fredbro's green shirt

from now on i'll just dub fredbro as iggy leopold, and chica as sioux robertson, I'll explain later (I actually don't know if I can name them, I'm just giving them names just so I don't write fred/chicabro constantly)

iggy is white so he's sunburnt.

funfact: while searching for vintage surfer dude shirts, I found the exact shirt the phone dude has! (and I know it cuz oof posted it on their twitter before, the exact image) Sioux just has the swim suit thing

...I wasn't sure what to do with Sioux's hair... I had zero idea how to translate black hairstyles into the UCFT art style. I tried to do twists, but they look horrible; I didn't wanna overtly detail them as I felt that'd be outta place of the art style, but it looks horrible as this. IIRC there's not really any black hair styles drawn in UCFT (yet) so no references sadly

I'm sorry for that man, will experiment with Sioux's hair

I wanted to make Iggy's window peak obvious, hence the 2 different hair colors, I supposed it's sunbleach idk

Okay why did i dub them with stupid sounding names?

Sioux comes from Siouxsie Sioux, why? Suzie posses Chica right? Suzie and Siouxsie are pronounced the same, but I wouldn't name him Siouxsie, so Sioux it is

Robertson comes from Robert Smith, thought of dubbing him Sioux Smith, but Fritz Smith exists

Ik unrelated characters can share the same common name, but meh :P

Iggy comes from me thinking of what stupid names I can name a surfer and a jojo reference, Leopold comes from well... Freddy originally being named Leopold... So what if Iggy adopted the Freddy mask because of the shared name? that lines up in the timeline I think

These are honestly lowkey placeholder names just for this yap session, I'm not gonna use those out of this post

maybe I'll give them serious names who knows, if I have oof's blessing ofc

Sioux and Mike's sketches, i deleted Iggy's

yes mike drastically changed... i didn't feel like doing something from the ground up +consistency so I just reused the base... terrible... learnt my lesson

Final notes:

I found some minor details in the UCFT style fascinating,

it's kinda hard to tell if something is drawn by oof or hyatiid hyatiid does most of the drawings IIRC, but I feel like I can tell when the artist switches and their minor quirks! I can't say for sure who's who but:

Michael's eye brow color changes sometimes, from a darker color from his main hair, to straight black. I also notice his eyebrows are a layer above hair, not sure if that's always the case as I haven't seen enough drawings of his eyebrows above his mullet to tell

Jeremy's piercing & scar placement is inconsistent, not that noticeable as it's generally the same area, but not the exact same everytime

Michael's hair detailing varies a lot

Eyes. they can be close, far, rounded, etc. rounded eyes are mostly for happy expressions

I think Oof keeps the whites of William's (purple form)eye contained with Hyatiid doesn't? I also think Oof is the one the draws lines under the eye without a fading effect while Hyatiid does

[iceicewifey]

wahhhh!!! (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠) hiya!!!!! I'm the anon from a few days ago (the one who was inspired by you!!). to answer what u asked in the tag, I'd love to share more abt my jojo oc!!!

I'm currently developing a part 3 oc inspired on the Fem!MC for 7th Stand User (a rly cool fangame that you should DEFINITELY check out if you haven't btw).

I haven't decided on a name for her yet, but I'm calling her "Vivi" for now. It's based on the Billy Joel song "Vienna" that inspired her character! She's an 18 year old highschool student who can't wait to graduate and be more independent. She hates being talked down to and can't stand it when people assume that she's incapable of doing certain things because of her age/gender/stature.

Her Stand is named Tears for Fears. It has the ability to create illusions over a 20m radius based on the user's emotions. I originally wanted the name to be "Mad World" but I thought that it would be too similar to "The World."

Then I actually had a bit of dilemma, because I thought that the name would be "too modern of a music reference" BUT THEN I remembered that VANILLA ICE EXISTS and if he can be named after an artist that, within the JoJo universe, hasn't achieved mainstream success in the current timeline, then I can do whatever I want forever >:3

That's basically all I have for now, I hope you don't mind me rambling in your inbox (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠). I hope you have a great day!!!

- inspiredAnon B)

aaah hi again anon!! i'm sorry to have kept you waiting!! 😭

i've heard a little bit about the 7th stand user but i've never actually played it... i probably should bc it might give me some ideas for gigi since i wanna give her a traitor arc 🤔 i'll figure that out later tho.

okay but!!! 'vivi' is so cute. is 'vienna' her full name or is it just vivi? either way it's lovely. 🥺💗 and tears for fears!! i love it! pls i'm loving all your ideas and references so far, especially that stand ability 👁👁 vivi and shay have the whole gender and stature thing in common, that's one of her biggest pet peeves. does vivi get into any conflicts with the crusaders about it? (if she's a crusader i should say) 👀

ough the modern music references,,, i get that! iirc mariah's in the same boat since her debut album came out in 1990, same year as to the extreme (vanilla ice's debut), and i'm sure there's more characters too, but i wouldn't worry too much about that! i have a few references in shay's backstory (~1986-1987) that were years before the artists had made their debuts, so no shame in that! if it fits and you like it, i think you should use it!! 💗

please don't worry about rambling in my inbox btw, you're welcome to ramble all you want! 🥺💗

[strawberry-metal]

"None of you came home last night!!" A thick, French accent is the first to speak.

"We were all very worried and came looking for you, and we find you beating a man within an inch of his life." A more mature, deep voice is next.

"Then YOU tell US that you performed an investigation without our knowing and fought a succubus all by yourselves!?" A thick Italian accent follows.

"You could of been killed!! You were lucky that you had a spell to protect all of you!" An eloquent sounding voice speaks.

"All of you stay sitting right there. What do you have to say for yourselves?" A deep, gruff voice is the last to come.

"Ehh...well....bweeh~?" Kazuno tries to settle the situation, which earns a response from the Italian. "Being cute won't get you out of this one."

"Well?" The eloquent voice speaks once more.

"Well, first off, why are you and Jotaro-chan in school uniforms? Aren't you both college students now? Are you going as highschool students for Halloween?" "Shanna, hush...."

"Pardon me, Shanna-chan, but you know well why I still wear this uniform sometimes, it helps give me a sense of belonging in case you've forgotten, and JoJo just thinks he looks cool in that." "Wh-!? ....So what if I do?"

The group before the girls are their husbands and fiances. Oh dear. They're all in trouble.

"Jotaro," Shanna drops the honorific she'd sometimes refer to him by, "You KNOW that all of us together were MORE than enough to handle this on our own. You know I'M more than enough! Is it because we're girls!?"

"Wh- no, what the fuck? Of course not, that's not what I said!"

"Then WHAT is it then!? Don't you trust me!?"

"IT'S NOT ABOUT TRUST!!" He fires back. "I almost lost you back in Egypt!! I almost lost you BEFORE Egypt!! You want me to be fucking honest? Everyone almost died against that bastard Dio, some of us before him, our lives were threatened on that trip every single day, yours and mine were threatened three months before the trip! I'm... only gonna say this once dammit... I'm scared of losing you, ok? ...When I'm not there when you're doing something dangerous, my world gets turned upside down."

"....The same goes with me for you, Rose. I can't bare the thought of losing my future with you. We almost did, back in Cairo... I should of died that night. But I didn't. You should of been honest about why you were going to that party. I was terrified something had happened to you and your sister when neither of you ever came home..."

"Nori..." Rose's eyebrows upturn. "I'm sorry... you're right, I should of been honest in the first place. I just wanted to handle this alone with the other girls."

"You both are so busy now and do your own dangerous work, we just didn't want to get you both involved in anything more dangerous. But... I guess the least we could of done was tell you both when to expect us back, and what exactly we were doing, in case something bad DID happen and we needed back up." Shanna sighs. "I'm...sorry too."

Jotaro and Kakyoin share a glance between eachother before they motion for their fiancees to get up. "As long as you understand, just please, don't do that again... neither of us want to lose you two." "Mm." Jotaro nods in agreement, averting his eyes off to the side. "Let's just go home for now. You can update us about the full story on the way."

"What about you, cara? Do you have any idea how worried I was!? When I didn't hear from you, I tried to contact your sister, and she didn't answer! I tried to contact the other three girls and THEY didn't answer, and when the other men here called me asking where their girls were... could you imagine the panic I felt!? What were you thinking!"

Kazuno's eyebrows upturn as she responds to her husband. "Caesar, I... ...... I'm so sorry, love, really.. I just couldn't let you know we were heading into danger, you've already been through so much in your life at this point, and I knew if you knew, you'd try coming, too. I thought I could just let you enjoy some time with the kids at home... I never thought it would end up lasting through till the morning."

Caesar exhales out his nose and closes his eyes in thought for a moment before reopening them. He knew this reply was genuine and... honestly, as upset as he was that she didn't tell him the truth, he's just glad that she's ok. "Kazuno, I... realize I'm up there in age. My hamon won't keep me young forever. But... the same goes for you. One day you'll get yourself killed with this rashness. I..." The blonde sighs. "Just... please... I really appreciate you thinking of me, but be honest with me, ok? I'll always come running to protect you, if you end up in danger. We spent this many years together... and I still want to spend many more together. I never want to lose that with you. Let's go home, tesoro, our kids have been worried sick about you as well."

"Mon amour." Polnareff begins, looking clearly upset, but doing his best to hold back a bit. He truthfully already has an idea why Kikumi did what she did. He's done the same. Gone out to try and settle things without the others knowing. But he also knows... what that almost cost him before. "You...why weren't you just honest with me about what you were doing? You investigated something dangerous AND got into a fight with a succubus! I was worried sick about you!! If I'd known, I could of at least come to help you look or....or protect you!! I.... I'm your knight!! ....Right? You...I....we...GRRH!" His voice raises in frustration as he has trouble conveying his feelings. "I...! I could of lost you!! You never came home, and when I contacted the other guys and found out that their women never came home either, I....! I thought the worst happened!!!"

"Mn..." The elf whimpered, her ears downturning with guilt. "Y-Yes, but... if you were with us when we hadn't yet figured out that we were dealing with a succubus, she'd potentially have gone and picked you off, too, like the other missing people..." Kikumi looked up at him, seeing his frustration wasn't phased by the response. "Mn... I'm fine, m-mon ami." She refused to looked him in the eye, her cheeks ever so slightly pink.

While Polnareff was still frustrated with his wife, he knew she was being honest with what she was saying right now. Plus, it was hard to stay upset with her, especially with that look on her face. Reaching a hand out, he helps her up. "Just... please be honest with me next time you go out. I'm always only a phone call away from rescuing you. I couldn't protect my sister but... I can still protect you. Tell me about everything on the way back home..."

Last was Avdol, staring down at his own darling. He sighs before speaking. "I'm not particularly fond of having to scold you, my dear. But what you did was dangerous. It's not that I doubt your own strength and courage, or the other girls for that matter. But something could always happen. It could be something that you only have a split second to react to." He raises his arms up, revealing the prosthetics. "It happened to me. I should of died.... but instead I got lucky and only lost my arms. What if something like that were to happen, Kazeko? I had no idea what was going on with all of you. I couldn't protect you... if I was there, I could of incinerated that creature. Why were you insistent on going without telling me anything?"

"That's... that's exactly why... I couldn't live with myself if I let you put yourself on the line one more time... Egypt was almost the last... and... I'm not going to let that happen again-! ... I'm sorry, but... I want to protect you, too..." Kazeko stared up at her beloved, eyes shining, tears threatening to spill.

Avdol's facial features warm, and he offers her a hand to help her up. "That's... what all of you girls wanted to do, isn't it? You wanted to protect all of us from being in harm's way again... thank you. This trait is one of the many reasons why I fell in love with you. But... a relationship is of equal standing. You can protect me... but let me protect you, too. Tell me the full truth next time, ok? I don't... ever want to lose you, either."

The couples all leave, having reconciled with one another, and boy, do the men have alot to be caught up on.

There's a minor debate in the JoJo fandom about Part 3 having fillers. I'm just...;;-;;

Consider this a mini attempt to help the new gen of JoJo fans understand something about JoJo. Might be kinda long, so...under the cut :)

JoJo is probably one of the anime that has no fillers. JoJo manga's runtime from Part 1 to 6 is from 1987 to 2003 pretty much gets faithful adapted into the 2013 anime. They have minor changes and additions to it from the manga, but not enough to be calling them fillers. Even the OVA, it still holds the storyline without straying away from the source material.

But somehow, a few fans, minor up to the age of 25, misunderstood what a filler in anime is. They sort of assumed that filler means boring plots or side stories that are not important to the main plot.

I'm sorry but, no.

Fillers are story arcs/major events in an official anime that do not exist in its original source material i.e. the manga or novel. Filler was used (and still is) to "fill up" the time between the production of the manga and the anime that is supposed to refer from said manga. As not to have the anime catch up with the manga, fillers are made.

Best examples of anime notorious for fillers are Naruto and One Piece. They had story arcs, 2-3 episodes (or more) long, and definitely doesn't add much to the actual story in the manga. Newest addition would most likely be MHA, but that's more of padding (adding extra elements/scenes to existing story) than an actual filler.

I get wanting to label an episode in JoJo as uninteresting, but filler is not the correct word to use. If it's boring to you, then it's just that - boring.

Plus, I'm not sure how other JoJo fans perceived JoJo's story arcs and how they were constructed in terms of art and pace. If one notices, Araki has the habit of showing a dramatic scene or a battle in slow motion. Unlike other battle shounen anime/manga, every movement, every punch, every kick, is fast paced. But JoJo is drawn in such a way to show the actions in slowed time.

As such, it's best to keep that in mind when one feels like the battles are drawn or the story prolonged. The pace is normal, but Araki drew them to depict slow motion.

I'm obviously biased with Part 3 since it's my favourite part, but if you want it to be less boring for you, maybe instead of concentrating on the story pace and the "villain of the week" framework, try looking it in a different angle.

Like, why tarot cards? Why the association to colours for their Stands? Why the certain designs of the characters/Stands? Why the small changes from manga to anime? Or manga to OVA to anime? Tbh, there are so many things one can dig just by the cards alone, which can make your experience with Part 3 more enjoyable.

[wario-speedwagon]

i argue your evil tumblr double would be mario-zepelli since wario is mario's evil double. Also this is now my personal confession booth, i dont knoe what zepelli means because i hardly know anything about jojo and it took me a long time to realize your url was a jojo reference and not a reference to. the band reo speedwagon ashfkdlakakd

You have a very good point, although that begs the existential question, does an evil double of an evil make a good like Mario? Maybe I should be fearing my good double instead...

And as for the Speedwagon reference, it's pretty much both! The pun is indeed on the REO Speedwagon band, but it's also meant in spirit as a Jojo reference! (Robert E. O. Speedwagon my beloved waifu) Not that I don't also love me some actual REO Speedwagon, though I also must confess, I'm not as deeply familiar with all their music as I should be considering I'm claiming their name haha (sorry, identity fraud is not a joke /ref)
