Jojo oc’s can’t get weirder than mine
Atticus is another good boy, and one of my crazier characters. He’s not a human with a stand, he’s a fricking seal.
Just a chubby seal with a currently unnamed stand that’s essentially a human skin they slip on, like a reverse selkie. He’s a feral goblin who doesn’t understand humans, or how clothes work sometimes. Will steal food and trinkets from things bigger and stronger than him with no fucks given.
Think he gets introduced when the Duwang gang think they’re dealing with some weirdo, but when Crazy Diamond tries to grab Atticus it just gets the skin and now there’s a fricking fat seal just rolling around and they gotta call Jotaro to deal with this because he’s the marine biologist so he should be able to know how to handle this right!? Right?!
Never colored a seal but I think I did good all the same.

I've witnessed first hand how fucking awful an overly controlling and manipulatuve mother can be.
It destroys your mental health. It makes you question your own worth and intelligence. It makes you unsure of who or what to believe. It makes you terrified of others perceiving you in anything but a positive light. And that's just mentally.
When people say Riddle's backstory was "tame" I want to strangle them because no, no it fucking wasn't. Just because she (supposedly) isn't beating him doesn't mean he has a "less bad" or "less tragic" childhood.

@hallowshaped || cont.
Ryunosuke had come a long way since first arriving in London.
In every manner of the word: his confidence in the courtroom, his trust in both himself and his clients, and—so he thought (or perhaps simply hoped)—his ability to keep his chin raised, his back straight, his expression steady under the distinctive coldness that resided in the so-called Reaper of the Bailey’s unwavering leer. On that last point, he rather liked believing he’d at least improved. Enough to stand before the towering man and not feel a tremor up his spine (and yet there was something… not trepidation, but a static energy humming just barely beneath his skin, nevertheless).
But as van Zieks began to speak from behind the veil of his cloak, voice deep and smooth, each and every word felt like a chip in the young lawyer’s composure. He practically flinched at one accusation, clenched his teeth at another, eventually found his attention slipping to the ground as if it were all the more interesting—and quietly, he mused that he was rather unused to seeing the prosecutor’s boots from this angle. Former confidence staggered into sheepishness, but when the color likely should’ve drained from his face…
By the time the long list of transgressions culminated into a single statement of gratitude, faint warmth blossomed in his cheeks. And Ryunosuke looked back up with no hesitation.
The delicate smile tugging at his lips might’ve mirrored van Zieks’s, if not for the latter’s remaining hidden. He listened with a new attentiveness—he’d even claim it to be fondness after all this time: for a man who used to terrify him viscerally—and some part of him wanted to laugh. Not at him. Not at any specific thing he’d said or was going to say. But when Ryunosuke took even a moment to think about it: they’d both come a long way, hadn’t they?
—considering that Lord van Zieks hadn’t stopped talking for the past several minutes without any intervention from the other side. And not even in the courtroom setting, prim and poised and proper (most of the time; today was an exception) behind his stand. Proof, if proof were needed, of how little of a bother Ryunosuke actually was despite the mentioned troubles he’d caused. Seeing this, that deflated confidence began to swell yet again.
His tentative smile grew at the same time as the prosecutor finally made his face visible.
“So, what you mean to tell me is that you were well aware of when I’d presumably be leaving,” Ryunosuke ventured, and his head canted almost challengingly while he steeled the other’s gaze, “but chose to ignore it altogether with the assumption I wouldn’t be bothered by it.” He didn’t care to add a questioning lilt to the end of that: it was a statement, firm and resolute. As much of a truth as anything he chased for the sake of his clients. And no different than those cases, Ryunosuke was determined not to let van Zieks get away with anything he could catch. (So far a shared sentiment, it would appear.)
His arms folded neatly behind his back, and without breaking that solid eye contact now, Ryunosuke moved one small step closer: a full, fluid motion that started with the slightest bend of his back and ended with his gaze now having to flick upward. “You don’t and never have owed me anything, Lord van Zieks,” he said, soft and earnest. “I didn’t stay because I required something more from you; goodness, you’ve done enough as it is. But I would be lying if I claimed you weren’t, in some way, part of the reason I’m still here.”

@starflungwaddledee because you asked-
oh definitely (at first). I'd imagine starstruck would probably figure out pretty quickly that celesta knight knows there's something Wrong with her and is terrified of it. (fear is the main motivator for hatred, after all!)
it's not just that which makes celesta want to stay as far away from her as possible, though. starstruck is a waddle dee still, and therefore "works" for king dedede, who has strong connections to meta knight… who wants celesta knight dead in this au. he got so close to killing her, only for her to barely escape with her life and go into hiding. (I'll see if I can find the post where I went into more detail about this later, but it's very old and buried,,,)
if celesta and starstruck were to become friends, part of it would include bonding over the shared experience of being mimics (yes, that's right). meta knight would, without a doubt, lose his damn mind if he learned of their friendship.

Anyway, I know it hasn't been touched upon or exlored (yet????) but I keep thinking about Bel and how the future arc of Black Sky might have affected him.
According to Yesterday's Tomorrow (ch. 1) one of Dorea's zombies got to Byakuran's Fake Storm Funeral Wreath, which I have to assume was Rasiel because no more Fake Funeral Wreaths were targeted after. Unless it was Rasiel's predecessor they got to...? Either way, Rasiel is clearly alive and very much determined to get revenge on Bel in the present, and I can't imagine Bel is at all happy about that, considering.
Also! What has Rasiel been up to all this time? Does Suriel know Rasiel is still alive? Bel's parents must, at least. So what's going to happen?

i think it's kinda funny when ppl complain about there not being any gay relationships in bsd and then bring up how atsulucy is very heavily implied to be canon or at least set up to be that. bc like. i think at this point you have to accept that ranpoe is the same. in which case the original argument lost its meaning didn't it
(i generally think it is a bit silly to expect any bsd ship to become canon. hope, enjoy the idea, make content, that's great. but expecting it - and that includes the m/f ones too - is. pointless imo. this isn't a romance story i don't think any relationship will be explicitly stated in the main story, at most it'll be somewhat acknowledged in wan. i think if you build up some expectation that a ship is gonna become canon you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. and that's a bit of a shame. i hope you can enjoy the story and enjoy the fan content as they are)

i'm rethinking this part in sam, interrupted. not because i think it's inoffensive but because i think it reveals something interesting about dean's perception of himself.
it's more than evident that he has enough mental illness in his brain to power a city. the doctor at the hospital expressed his concerns too, and by this time he's racked up enough trauma to need lifetimes of therapy. he's depressed, filled with self-loathing, a walking shell of a man (confirmed extensively in my bloody valentine), he's been to hell and back literally and has shown symptoms of ptsd—enough said. this hospital is a place that can genuinely help him because he is mentally ill.
here, though, he puts on an act. he pretends to be mentally ill in the way he understands it. it's a caricature of some type of psychosis. but this caricaturing indicates that he doesn't consider himself mentally ill. he needs to put on an act because it's not natural to him.
so there's a disconnect between his reality and his perception of reality. what he experiences, while he recognizes it's not healthy (considering he has to repress it all to cope), is normal to him, to the extent that he believes he's not "crazy" enough to be in a mental hospital.
idk i don't really have much to say on this matter, but i do like that dean's traumas and unhealthy coping and harmful mechanisms are a consistent topic of focus throughout the series and explored in different ways. it's present from the very onset of the show and it continues into late seasons, and this is just another example of it. i didn't think much of this exchange when i first watched the episode because i found it distasteful, but revisiting it i do think it gives a somewhat unique insight to dean's perspective on himself, completely in character yet exploratory and evocative.

im seconding what that last anon said, i also adore the way you draw fake pep *and* peppino by extension. so much it makes me nervous/jumpy sometimes idk why my brain does that... ive done it for so long but i dont think its healthy to keep this in anymore.. might be a long one:
in, uh, a number of ways I relate to your specific interp of fake pep but. i'm also very private about Things. something about relating+crushing on characters makes me super vulnerable/shy/nervous even a YEAR later... in other words I'd also be quick to run from/avoid fake peppino but not for the reasons him or any sane person would think. but someone truly afraid of him wouldn't be stal-I mean admiring him from afar. idk how he'd react to someone liking him like That enough to do that but confrontations/confessions have never been my forte. hence this clumsy anon ask
yaaayy making resonant characters yaaaay
🫵 the anon has fallen in love with the funny beast 🫵
[PLEASE understand i am not making fun of you, you are cool & epic, it's just always amusing to hear stuff like this bc i never consider my style to be, like, "attractive" [not being derogatory i just don't have a sense for what Appeals to people in that sense & don't think the most common points for such come up in my art like at all. BUT several people have brought up his being 'charming' or 'charismatic' w how i draw him and i realize this is a kind of appeal unto itself]]
ANYWAY i actually went into his stance on physical intimacy on the, uh, vorepost, which im sure most people understandably did not look at, because it was a vorepost, so to save you from that. tldr is hell yes; he loves being weird and touchy and In Contact on people all the time regardless so if you're giving him express permission to do that, and Enjoying the contact, no less? bro hell yes. he is sooo fucking cuddly and affectionate to anyone who will tolerate it but also it Will be awkward bc he doesnt know what he's doing. i think there's a charm in that too though
idk if this is actually abt physical intimacy but being aroace i dont have much to comment on for other aspects of this kind of relationship lmao. i'm sure he'd appreciate the kind gestures involved in romance or w/e but he might not fully Get it <-projecting
