[incorrect-jojolands-quotes]

Hot take but I think what we saw in chapter 13 was necessary.

I don't think a lot of people realize how important it is for Araki to portray what he did, even if it extremely difficult to take in. Let me explain.

Araki has discussed about topics like racial and class disparity through both Steel Ball Run and Jojolion, but JOJOLands is different because the discussions are now very direct. We had Chapter 1 open up with police brutality and Chapter 13 open with intense bullying; both acts were committed by people of higher social standing/power and seemingly White (or white passing) and both are harming a dark-skinned queer individual. Not only that, remember that Hawai'i is an island stolen and colonized by the US and many indigenous individuals who were supposed to live and maintain kapu are being forced to endure housing problems, loss of culture, etc. due to gentrification and exploitation of its lands. 2020 was when we saw global protest towards the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor due to police brutality, which has spread as far as Japan in terms of demonstrations and rallies. Araki has made it clear that he tries to take real world experience into his writing, and this is no different. He is also no stranger to portraying law enforcement throughout his parts without glorifying or downplaying their behavior.

As a mutual of mine (who themselves identify as a black GNC individual based in US) has put it, those who identify or even appear as Black while identifying as trans-femme or women are subjected to some of the worse kinds of oppression possible in America. Queer women of Color are one of the most susceptible to sexual violence-- especially when they are young, and the darkness of their skin really plays into it. This is transmisogynoir; it is a hard pill to swallow and acknowledge, even if it feels excessive, and its a multilayer of oppression that connects a person's racial identity, gender, and sexuality as targets of discrimination. It's the fact that one is POC, a woman, AND queer that makes one a target--- not just one or the other. You can’t turn a blind eye to this because it happen constantly throughout America's history and American society even today, but you can't simply water it down or downplay it. In fact, many victims of transmisogynoir have no choice but to downplay their experiences because of their Black identities or because they appear too dark to be taken seriously; when they, especially if they are Black, try to hold people in power accountable, these individuals are suddenly labeled aggressive, indignant, etc. and they are further discriminated for attempting to speak up. Dragona downplaying the bullying isn't them just trying to avoid further conflict but a reflection of how many who were in similar situations like Dragona are forced to simply forgive and forget the trauma they have to endure. To downplay it ourselves is reinforcing the narrative that individuals like Dragona in real life should remain silent and endure their harassment rather than rightfully protect themselves and others from it.

Another thing to add is that the way Japan portrays and treats the LGBTQ community, particularly the trans community. In Japan, the process to legally change your gender is complicated and requires a lot of steps that include, but not limited to, being diagnosed with gender identity disorder, proving you have no kids/guardianships, and sterilization. This causes a lot of individuals to be forced to quickly transition as a means of getting their gender recognized, which takes away the time to let them explore at their own pace, and this is due to how the process can lead to hindering career and life opportunities that wouldn't be hindered had they already transitioned or stayed closeted. Many Japanese trans individuals unable to go through the process quickly either remain closeted or move away from Japan to transition at their own pace. So, as a result, the trans community and its struggles is not as noticed compared to outside of Japan. Another thing to add is that the trans community in Japanese media is often portrayed as comedic relief or a gag. Oftentimes, the trans character or character who diverts from gender conformity (i.e cross-dressing, acting more flamboyant) is the butt of the jokes. Some thing to note is that, when Dragona was first introduced, a lot of people thought that Araki put Dragona in simply for comedic purposes. I had people joke about how Dragona is just there because they believed Araki is trolling. Not only that, the racial issues that Japan has often results in jokes towards non-Japanese individuals in media, especially if they are of darker skin color.

So, Araki putting Dragona in these difficult situations is also meant to subvert expectations that his Japanese, and possibly Western, audience may be expecting. The expectation was to laugh and toss Dragona aside as a single-dimensional character, but Araki instead forced us to face the trauma through Dragona's experience head-on. We are made aware of Dragona's situation, how real and difficult the struggle is, and we end up emphasizing with it rather than laughing at it. Through this, we get a glimpse into real life experiences of trans POCs without it being downplayed and have it show how Dragona is a fleshed-out character with importance to the series. As some have put it, this chapter proved that Dragona isn't just a side character but arguably a complex individual on the same level of importance as Jodio. I don't think it would have been easy to have the same impact if another approach was taken.

While talking to others who identify as trans and/or GNC about their thoughts on the chapter, I was told by many of them that, while Dragona's experience hits close to home and was hard to digest, they appreciate seeing it being expressed and hope it will help other people understand their struggles. One noted how the introduction of Smooth Operators with the backstory as empowering, seeing the Stand as a symbol of surviving the trauma that comes with trans discrimination. I do find this a bit telling with how many people online who are against Araki's portrayal barely mention what trans/GNC people have said about it.

My main concern, as well as what I see people have rightfully critiqued, is the excessive trauma reinforcing the fetishization and violent voyeurism towards trans individuals; it also reinforces the problematic narrative that dysmorphia can only happen as a result of trauma and the trans experience can only be full of pain. There's also the issue that Dragona's experience also happened while they were under age and their harassment is similar to that of Lucy. It's a common trope in Western media to put marginalized people into these situations while upping the ante simply for clicks and pleasure, and even worse when the character portrayed is a minor. As I reiterate, it is a very uncomfortable chapter to read and I don't find it enjoyable at the slightest. Just because I understand why it is necessary doesn't mean I condone the approach done. I also understand Araki as a Japanese man can only relate and portray a queer American's experience to an extent. But, at the same time, the exposure was necessary because it gives us the awareness and a voice to trans people that is lacking within media even today. We need to be aware and acknowledge what our BIPOC trans community goes through as a means of being better humans--- and especially our younger community members. We need to make our society safer for them so they can thrive and have the respect they deserve. Oftentimes, that starts with how they are portrayed and how their experiences are portrayed. While it is still a journey and not every representation will be perfect, we can't simply toss it aside and bash those who try to show something realistic just because it is uncomfortable.

I only hope that Araki wrote Dragona and these scenes as a result of doing extensive research and reaching out to actual POC queer individuals, particularly transfemmes/women, to understand their experiences and have their blessings to use their words to shape Dragona. I feel like that would show that Araki was serious about discussing these issues through his characters rather than simply using Dragona's traumatic experience it for entertainment. I have higher expectations for Araki now, knowing that it may not be the last time he shows a character experience harassment and possibly have Dragona be harassed again, so I will keep my eyes open for this.

HELLO RESIDENTS OF TUMBLR DOT COM

I'm about to begin working on a dating sim game featuring my original world and characters alongside some friends of mine, but first I need YOUR HELP with finalising the line-up of dateable characters!

The currently decided dateables are as follows (with varied art pieces I've done of them included for visualisation purposes):

Enatras (he/him): known best for being the king of the Orchels, more commonly known as "dark gods". He's the god of destruction and the void, and he's had a history of violence. Currently he's trying to repent for his past actions by establishing diplomatic ties to his brother's group of gods. He's sarcastic, slightly suspicious, and definitely still seems evil despite his right-hand woman trying to assure you that he's just acting like that for fun.

Lendelrem (he/they/she): the god of life and death, their main job involves collecting spirits of those willing to move on and reincarnating them as plants and animals. They seem blank faced and unfeeling at first, but there's a lot of complex emotions hidden beneath their mask.

Karmelerre (she/they): Acrente's twin sister and the god of knowledge, she's one of the most responsible gods and takes her job very seriously. They act put together and strong in public, but behind the ornate doors of their library rests a tired woman, seeking comfort in the strong halls of books. She dedicates a large portion of their time to cleaning up their brother's messed.

Acrente (he/they): Karmelerre's twin brother and the god of creativity, known and widely loved by mortals for the huge parties they throw alongside their best friend. His irresponsible and fun loving demeanour is near constant, but when it falls it falls hard.

(Art for Acrente done by @derpoprime)

THE OPTIONS FOR THE FINAL 2 DATEABLES:

Soubern (she/her): the god of summer and one of the royal children, Soubern is the brightest of all her siblings. Lights up a room like sunlight and brings with her the warmth of summer. A comforting and kind character, known to fall in love easily. She also loves wearing the worst colour combinations known to god-kind as a way to annoy her brother.

Purzentry (he/they): the god of cats and adoptive father or Bezenade (god of bees). Purzentry is gruff and unfriendly at first, yet fiercely protective of their child. They're slow to warm up to new people, and he tends to linger in quiet places. Has seen a lot in his life and now wants to focus on their family.

(This art was also done by @derpoprime)

Lozured (she/him): god of love in all its forms, she has a tendency to latch onto new people and make sure they know how amazing they are. An extremely positive god with a loving demeanour, he uses a lot of pet names and nick names for people, and is big on all forms of affection and love.

Unexrial (he/him): the Orchel god of death, Unexrial is pretty much the exact opposite of Lendelrem. Energetic, loud, and very expressive, Unexrial is widely viewed as one of the two nicest Orchel gods. As an added bonus, he comes with a dog/bug/thing (Dyanyre, the shadow creature depicted with him below).

As much as i criticize helluva boss, i still love the concept of exploring demonic hierarchies and building what a society would look like. With that in mind, Hazbin is still important to me and so I bring you a redesigned Charlie! Fun fact, her pants were meant to be a dark navy blue, but i loved the cymk soft proof version so much I've left her palette as is.

Cymk? For printing? Yeah, all this is a sticker pack + pin on my redbubble! The shop doesn't have much since i delete things back to back, but don't worry! I will leave Charlie up for the time being as I try to figure out what else to upload.

Tumblr is rapidly becoming my main social media and that's brilliant because 1) NONE of my irl friends are active here, and only one of them even has an account, and that's the one that won't make fun of me and is regularly mentioned in my authors notes and 2) this is my secondary blog so nobody would find it accidentally because it's a completely separate url and name the only thing recognisable straight away is the picture of my cat and my friends wouldn't be my friends if they were observant so I'm in the clear lol

I've deleted tiktok off my phone and now mainly use Instagram reels. I get a bunch of content related to Japan (makes sense I'm moving there) but omfg the comments are like the trenches. Some are purely racist to Japanese citizens and others are such Japan dick riders that it's insane.

Anyway recently got a post about a white guy complaining that TOKYO has gotten too "foreign" and that he doesn't want Japan to "lose" their culture. I've got a lot of thoughts on this but nowhere to put them so here they are:

I'm literally losing my mind at how many people think Japan is this orientalist non-westernized country when Japan has westernized itself since the 1890s. Losing my mind at foreigners in Japan complaining that there are more foreigners in Japan and acting like they've been in Japan since before it when they moved there in like 2010.

Saw someone comparing Japan to Hawai'i in how it's losing its culture (truly mindboggling considering what Japan has done to Okinawa) and another guy who's name was literally Noah saying "Americans should keep their bs out of japan no one wants your stupid westernization" like dude ur name is Noah.

Also, no part of America has "westernized" Japan since the early 20th century, and Japan's "westernization" is entirely Japan's own doing for wanting to be in proximity to whiteness. No other culture country or people gets to decide where Japan's culture gets to go, that is solely up to the Japanese people (mind you not the government but the PEOPLE)

Most people obsessed with Japanese culture have never read an actual book on Japan that goes beyond "Japan has shrines that worship the kami or spirits of the world" and "being polite is important as a tourist in Japan". If they did, then they'd know that during the pre-war era and throughout the wartime era, the Japanese government purposefully put out cultural propaganda in order to boost nationalism. They wanted Japan to seem entirely unique and therefore more special than all other Asian countries. This is not to say Japan does not have beautiful cultural traditions that extend centuries, but largely those have been transformed and marketed to Japanese and foreign tourists alike.

Shrines and shrine groups donate and mass support alt-right-wing groups in Japan. The over-politeness culture is part of the awful workplace conditions and suicide rates. Actual Japanese people have spoken to these facts but that does not mean they do not like their home culture. Globalization/modernization will not westernize Japan. Women's rights, LGBT rights, labor rights, and immigrants' rights, will not westernize Japan. They will save Japan.

These Japan-obsessed right-wingers will ignore the hundreds of years of protests and civil rights groups to create an orientalist idea of Japan. None and I mean NONE of those people care about Japan, Japanese culture, or Japanese people, they only care about living out their orientalist fantasies while actual Japanese people living their daily lives are simply background props.

We need to stop pretending Japanese people are not their own people with history, culture, and movements.

Here are just SOME links on Japanese politics not known by most people (please message me if you're interested in these topics or would like more resources):

Nippon Kaigi- Alt Right Religious Group

Japanese Work Culture

Ainu - Indigenous Group of the Lands in the Okhotsk Sea

Ryukuans (Okinawans) - Indigenous Group of the Ryukyu Islands

Scream from the Shadows- A Book on the 60s Feminist Movement in Japan

Chizuko Ueno "Forty Years of Japanese Feminism" - Prominent Japanese Feminist

Burakumin - Lowest "Caste" Group in Japan

Zainichi Koreans - Resident Koreans Who's Families Entered Japan During and After the War

LGBT Rights - LBGT+ Rights Group in Japan

Organizing the Spontaneous - 60s ANPO Movement

Sadly I cannot find the twitter page that often posts modern-day Japanese news that normally is not posted by other news organizations. But if any of you remember it please send me the page so I can add it as I believe it is an important resource. Or just reblog with it!

Look, whether you like or dislike Japan, remember it's a country with people just like anywhere else. Do not dismiss the work activists have done in Japan. Do not say Japan "needs this political movement", instead talk about how Japanese progressive groups need international support and recognition (mind you don't say this about any country, especially largely nonwhite countries!!! you are completely ignoring and rejecting the work millions have put into social change!!! instead talk about those people!!! talk about those movements!!! don't let their efforts be forgotten!!! don't let any government tell you these movements are new!!! THEY AREN'T!!!!). One of the biggest ways we can create change and push away alt-right groups and people from any place is by ruining their image of those places.

Do NOT let the alt-right in Japan convince you Japan is purely homogenous and that Japan is the best country in the world. Do not let the Japanese government erase the Ainu, the Ryukyuan, Immigrants, Zainichi Koreans, LGBTQ+ citizens, women's rights, the Burakumin, the poor, and the communists/progressives of Japan. Do not let ANY country erase that history!

DO NOT LET JAPAN PLAY THE VICTIM TO "WESTERIZATION"

Back at it with another Ghosts tarot card—this one is Hetty as The High Priestess!

This card is so much about reconciling one’s inner and outer selves, and learning how to effectively express that internal world; one of the things that really fascinates me about Hetty is that she has such a carefully curated Public Persona (largely thanks to her era/class), but also has such a rich interior life with these withdrawn spells where she just stares out of windows contemplatively for hours at a time, which is what really made me see her as this card. I hope that we get to keep seeing her break down the boundaries between these different sides of herself going forward.

The original Pamela Colman Smith tarot card my design is based on can be seen here, and you can see the first Ghosts card I drew, Flower, here in my Ghosts Tarot tag.

Okay so I finished Yuwu quite some time ago (can't remember when lol) and when I started it, I didn't know it would have similarities to Mo Dao Zu Shi (the gateway drug. Still my favorite after having read quite a bit of danmei by now) but I immediately recognized the similarities and it just boggled my mind how nobody ever talked about it. Then I was going through the AO3 tag one day after finishing and!! There's your fic!! And then I proceeded to put it off for the longest time because I was Not Ready for the pain. Finally decided to read it. Just finished the first in the series and I was Not Ready. Also I just wish Yuwu wasn't so underrated, especially when MDZS has such a large fandom. I mean, they're obviously two very different stories, but Wangxian and Ximang have so many similarities that I have a joint playlist for them that lasts five hours (different MDZS and Yuwu playlists outside of that one though, including one where Mo Xi's hardest hitting betrayal angst goes). They are similar while also being different! It's perfect for MDZS fans!! Alas... ANYWAY, I just wanted to say thanks for recognizing and writing the beauty that is these four thrown together. The Wei Wuxian and Gu Mang friendship is everything to me now. Off to read the next two in your series, haha. Wish me luck...

What's your favourite animal? ^_^ (and photos if you can!!)

i like lots of animals, but im deciding to take this opportunity to talk about my cats because they are my favourites yay! (photos etc included)

sorry in advance for rambling 🥲 so!!! i have 4 cats, all of which were feral at first but just. showed up lol and decided to move in :) the first one to show up was charlotte, then she had 2 kittens, charlie and lola, who are about 5 years old now! then oscar showed up just a couple years ago

^ charlotte, she is licking her lips bc she wants to devour me (she is a bit evil) definitely the cat im the least close with but i still love her ofc

^ charlie, he spends a lot of time sleeping but will randomly run up to me and jump on my lap for a cuddle when i least expect it (he scares me sometimes and i scream😭) silly guy

^ lola, she is screaming (yawning) she is my gremlin girl and very mischievous! she loves to play with me, she taps my leg with her front paw if we're walking next to each other, and sometimes she hides then leaps out at me to try and make me jump lol

^ oscar, he is the physically biggest (and oldest) of all of them by a long shot but he has the most high pitched meow ive ever heard and is super talkative! he loves to spend time with me, he is a human baby in cat form

so yeah! i still live at home with my family so technically everyone's cats😒 buuut i am the sole person who tamed them, i spend the most time with them by far and like we do think of them as 'my' cats yknow lol. i hope you liked the photos!! :D

[lotshusband]

the way I GASPED at my inbox alert that you posted a malevolent fic!!! I'm only about 2/3 thru the podcast tho, are there spoilers that i should hold off reading for?

it's canon divergent basically from the end of the first season!! if you've made it to the dreamlands, you know enough to not be spoiled :)

essentially, i'm playing around with a version of the story where the two of them make it out of the dreamlands [some nebulous way] in different bodies. the why and how don't matter much to the plot & the story is set in a future where the two of them spend their time investigating occult cases as private investigators !!

[bright-and-burning]

same anon, i hope you're feeling better! - brothers are the worst for staying in touch! like my sister still won’t follow me back on spotify (it’s bad for her brand…🙄) but at least she answers my texts with more than one word answers! and it totally is different when it’s younger siblings moving away! when i left i was still in my angsty teen phase and i knew my siblings were safe with my parents. now they’re technically adults and living on their own. even when i went back to visit they never had much time for me and i was the one staying at home while they were off with their friends. it feels like yesterday we were fighting over wii remotes😭it’s hard to watch them grow up

i really like seeing your personal posts, i feel like i really relate (especially with the family stuff). we’ve been mutuals for a while but i still feel awkward just randomly messaging people. sorry for the random anons haha

THE ITS BAD FOR MY BRAND LMFAO DO WE HAVE THE SAME FAMILY OR ARE YOUNGER SISTERS JUST LIKE THAT EVERYWHERE

right like it’s BONKERS that they r allowed to vote… what do u mean they are taller than me now . i thought they were two apples tall… and the staying at home while they’re off w their friends SOOO real lol. bc i went to college out of state and the only ppl from hs i Really stayed close to went to school a few hours from my hometown like i come home/would come home and my siblings are like cheers im going out ill be back by 3am and im like ?????? im gonna have a glass of wine and read a book w the dog . i guess

the wii remote memories… forcing them to disconnect theirs so i could be player one… that time i gave my brother a concussion playing wii tennis trying to get an ace….

and thank u beloved anon that is genuinely so sweet of u pls don’t apologize… i always feel kinda weird personal posting sm bc i feel like it’s usually like eight posts in one day and it’s always like . sorry i am not bejng silly goofy abt the silly goofy men i am having a Time And A Half… but i’m glad to hear u relate (glad is maybe not the right word choice here but . u kno) <3 we are all less alone than we think we are.
