SERIOUSLY. Although if you don't feel like commenting, that's cool, too :)

Meanwhile, over in JJBA FEELS R US:

Some tweets I made, which I may or may not expand on:

Going to read some Jojos today and see what I make of 'em. - Yes. Yes. Well. I certainly did that.

I would like to make it known that I would like to punch Dio in the face. I believe this is a common reaction - we already know this. He's such an ungrateful little shit in Phantom Blood that I just want to smack him about. Considering later plot developments, that's probably not a good idea, right?

Thought Jojos were boring at first, but it has improved now the story's got going. - I'm not going to lie; I almost gave up because the story takes a while to get going. It gets better, though.

Tbh, I just want to read Stone Ocean and Steel Ball Run, but know I will miss out if I don't read the rest.
Could be worse, I guess. I could be re-reading Death Note :d
(hey, if you liked Death Note, that's cool. I just didn't and didn't get what the fuss was about).


IDK if it's just me, but that scar on Speedwagon's face makes it look like he's always in tears.
On one side of his face, at least.


Finished Phantom Blood! Onto Battle Tendency!
(Stop to doodle Killer Queen in between)
- that didn't go very well, as I forgot it didn't have a nose.
(yeah yeah I know I haven't even reached that part yet but I think it has a cool design)

GDI Straights. Why are you so pretty. - Achievement Unlocked: Babby's First Jojo Crush

Has anyone done an AMV for Jojo to Fashion by David Bowie? Because I feel like that is a thing that should exist. - Honestly. Don't make me do it because my computer can't take it.

I keep reading Santana as Setanta. Goddamnit, Megaten! - when fandoms collide.

More Jojos this evening, or more Jojos? Hard choice, I know.

OMG Caesar, what the hell are you.
Dear Joseph Joestar, I think I love you. That is all. Me x


Love how Lisa Lisa just doesn't take any of Joseph's bullshit. Love you, Lisa Lisa :)

I'm so close to the end of Battle Tendency that I can taste Stardust Crusaders. Mmm, papery.
Actually I'm sort of lying, I think I have 3 more vols to go before the next part but eh. Close enough.
If you want a rough idea of where I am in JJBA, Joseph just fought Wamuu, and now we are in Switzerland.
- we were in Mexico (with nazis!) and then Venice so. Yeah.

Actually no, he didn't fight Wamuu, he fought Esidisi. God what an idiot I am. - gets_similar_looking_characters_confused.jpg

I think Wamuu's next, though
(he has already fought Wamuu once but there is a rematch! In Switzerland! I think! IDK because spoilers!)


Joseph is so manly that all he needs to keep him warm in the cold of Switzerland is a scarf. - this is a fact. He is wearing a sleeveless t-shirt, and a pair of pants (maybe jeans), and all he adds to his wardrobe is a scarf. OK THEN.

Fuck me, Joseph, what the hell is your hair. - tries_to_draw_a_joestar.jpg

JFC, unexpected Jojo feels while listening to something which has nothing to do with anything. - related to the spoilers below which I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT.

Though it gave me an idea for a horrible fanart if I can get it to work the way I want.
I haven't even finished Battle Tendency yet! I get the feeling this is only going to get worse as the series progresses.


So there's those, but there's also SPOILERS!

Now, I have heard that Jojo makes you cry because some of it just rips your heart out and stomps all over it. I honestly did not expect that to happen so soon.

I suddenly - and I don't know why - got the feeling that Caesar was going to die. I honestly have not read spoilers, but about halfway through Battle Tendency, this sinking feeling set on me and wouldn't go. I don't - or didn't, because I suppose he grew on me - like Caesar all that much. But he fights Wamuu alone, and Wamuu fucking kills him. (Because, I suppose, Wamuu is the stronger fighter, and Caesar is a Zeppeli, not a Joestar).

I didn't. I wasn't all out bawling when it happened, but there were actual tears, and thinking about it makes me really sad, and, as mentioned in the tweets above, I was listening to a freaking A-HA SONG which had nothing to do with anyone dying, and I was nearly in tears again because it made me think about Caesar. HOLY JIGGA WHAT.

Obviously now I am worried about finishing Battle Tendency. I'm only, like, one volume away, and it can't be that bad because I know Joseph lives anyway (he's in the next part for the entire thing) (I also know he loses a hand fighting Kars). And if I am THIS BAD at part two, I am going to be incapacitated by later parts (no spoilers, please).

UGH. *drags hands down face*

P.S. I STILL WANT TO PUNCH DIO
