Favorite Jobros

Просто ра��влекаюсь во время учёбы. Вообще, все Джобро прикольные, но эти ребята…

Just having fun while studying. In general, all the Jobros are cool, but these guys...

Как это выглядело на бумаге? на рисунок по середине даже не смотрите, мне просто было ну очень скучно на уроке биологии…

don’t even look at the picture in the middle, I was just very bored in biology class...

Мне было лень рисовать сначала карандашом, а потом обводить ручкой, так что я сразу зафигачил ручкой, поэтому тут остались вспомогательные линии… впрочем, кому не всё равно?

I was too lazy to draw first with a pencil and then trace with a pen, so I immediately used a pen, so there were auxiliary lines left... but who cares?

Golden wind hc:

Bruno's not a medical professional, and he wasn't even conscious when he zipped his heart back together in his fight with Pesci. He did it incorrectly. A few weeks later, he starts having issues with it, alternating high and low blood pressure in turns, chest pains and such. He just assumes it's lingering problems from being dead and ignores it for the most part but when he eventually gets pestered into letting Giorno take take a look, he's just like- What the fuck. Why is half of it inside out. You're missing a piece. How are you even alive?

Not me jojo posting again

mspaint bruabba because i am in deep need of comfort rn

wow i wonder which one hed listen to. (made by a guy who played 100 hour of bleach seven minutes in heaven as a blossoming teen) to me bruno is careful and determined guy during mission but honestly he plays most of that up for teens, i think he is silly as shown in the fight giorno and he should be allowed to a horny repressed gay guy. to me. some small personal notes on pixel art and this piece under the cut:

so i posted an edit three times. to me. this feels like objectively terrible piece. while the little guys look pretty great and i went out og my way to try different techniques, the central piece and esp abbacchio feels lacking. this is because i, as a person am terrible at rendering clothes and frankly even lighting. i cant imagine it. and idk, hitting this limitation over and over with no way to beat it sucks (maybe i should hyperfixiate on guy not in leather which is extremely hard to render.) i dunno. i loved working on this piece and small guys but overall looking at it, i feel disapointed in myself. I still hope people enjoy the piece or at least the idea behind it

BruPro exes... and Leone giving them a sideeye

Bruno in VivziePop style doodle since Alastor resembles Bruno to me, yep, I have one braincell left

Trauma and Stands in JJBA

So this has been swirling around my head for a bit, and because I just lost my job today I figured it would be good to take my mind off of it by indulging in a bit of analytical escapism instead. 

It’s stated several times throughout Jojo that Stands are a manifestation of a person’s most innate self, their “soul” if you will. Some Stands can be a manifestation of positive aspects of a person’s soul, such as Tusk Act IV being a representation of Johnny Joestar’s resilience or Crazy Diamond being a representation of Josuke’s protective nature. It can be a great character analysis to just break down the aspects of a stand and how it relates to each character of Jojo. But that’s gonna be a super long essay that I don’t have the energy to write. 

What I want to talk about is how Stands can be a representation of things like trauma and negative coping mechanisms associated with it. Specifically, part 5 characters that are good examples of this. There could obviously be others from different parts, but these are the ones that I’ve been thinking about. 

The most obvious one would be Fugo. His stand has a lot of meaning to it. I think a lot of people tend to look at his character at only a surface level. Even if you want to discount the anime’s expansion on his backstory, it’s super clear that this kid has experienced serious trauma. Children don’t just become angry without reason. Fugo’s anger is a direct result of trauma, and we can see that with Purple Haze. It’s a Stand built to push people away, to lash out at friend or foe, or even Fugo himself. It’s a representation of Fugo’s desire to isolate himself as a way to cope, which is a common trait among people with CPTSD (article here: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/the-reasons-people-with-complex-ptsd-self-isolate-846266b52a6d). That anger, and by extension Purple Haze, are walls and armor Fugo built.

Another obvious example would be Abbacchio. While his Stand is useful in the events of Vento Aureo, Moody Blues’ ability is a clear representation of symptoms of rumination in PTSD (article here: https://sites.tufts.edu/emotiononthebrain/2014/11/18/hooked-on-a-feeling-intrusive-and-ruminative-symptoms-in-ptsd/). It’s ability is to play back the events of the past, much like how a person with PTSD will replay the memories of a traumatic event in their minds. Obviously the trauma of losing his partner as a cop would make this make sense. Personally, this makes me feel like Abbacchio is one of the most tragic characters in part 5 at least. What would his stand look like if he hadn’t experienced what he had? Not to mention his meeting with Bruno heavily implies engaging in substance abuse. 

Less obvious, but still interesting would be Bruno’s stand. There’s an issue with children of divorce having to deal with “split loyalty.” Even if the divorce his parents had was amicable, and even if Bruno decided to stay with his father, he had to essentially split himself apart to stay loyal to both parents. I honestly highly doubt his mother was just cool with him staying with his father, either. But you could chalk that up to extrapolation. So how does this relate to his Stand? Well, remember the fight with Pesci? When Bruno had to divide his actual physical heart in half to survive? That was not just a fight, that was a demonstration of his childhood. 

This post is so long, I need to go to bed. And find a new job. I hope this made sense to someone. 

Finally got around to editing my Jojo OC zine from my illustration class. Pictures aren't the best quality because each page was like 4 inches tall lol
