This is something that I made last week but didn't bother finishing because I was lazy or doing other drawings.
Anyways, this drawing is of my Jojo OC's Stand [Flogging Molly] having special abilities and skills similar to [Star Platinum], I wanted to focus on other things besides "Drunken Lullaby" and limb blades.
Abilities:
- Gut feelings
A unique trait they possessed since birth but has tragically been ignored by Medea for the majority of Part 3. They have a decent enough intuition that helps them detect something wrong or right, as such they become defensive and hostile towards anything or anyone posing as a threat to Medea's well-being but becomes friendly and calm when around someone they trust or have good vibes. I.e. They fully trust Polnareff due to sensing his good vibes and for getting rid of J. Geil: Link
- X Ray Goggles
An ability they also possessed since birth, while not used quite as often as they should, it's a very convenient ability used for spying and eavesdropping. The "goggles" takes on the form of [Flogging Molly]'s hands in a "eye goggle" gesture. I.e. it was once used to spy on the Crusaders in an Egyptian hospital in Aswan: Link
- Retractable arm blades
A physical trait they've gained post-Arrow piercing, it allows them to summon blades from out their arms and use them to maim, cut, hack, and slash opponents and/or obstacles, they also summon blades with their legs for extra damage. Of course, they can be used for other things such as chopping fruit, the splattering in the image above isn't blood, it's strawberry jell-o lol
- Drunken Lullaby
Their main ability and element they also gained post-Arrow piercing, it's a corrosive poison that's discharged from their aforementioned limb blades, which could scar enemies at best or kill them at worst, they also use it for the purpose of dosing people's food, drinks, and/or medication for assassination attempts, but can be called back to cancel it out. It is named after the song "Drunken Lullabies" by Flogging Molly.
- Seven Deadly Sins
This is a bit of a small spoiler to my fanfic, but "Seven Deadly Sins" is a secret ability they gained during the events of "The Hierophant and Sinner". It reflects the cardinal vices Medea's committed in DIO's name and takes a lot of energy out of her and her Stand, hence why it's sparsely used. But when it is used, it lays devastation to their foe which powers up each time a Sin is chanted, from the least deadly to worst deadly sin. It is named after the song "Seven Deadly Sins" by Flogging Molly.
It’s amusing, really. Here I am, figuring out how to finish my Italian citizenship, so I can live in Ireland. I imagine my Irish and Italian ancestors, wherever they are, having a good, spirited tussle over it. In my 30s, I’ll spend my mornings with poetry and coffee, strong and clear. My afternoons, walking, searching for fairies and leprechauns, the myth, the magic of it all. And my evenings, slowly with whiskey, listening to the honest pitter-patter of rain out my window.
Sick to death of either being tortured by ads or the slow bleed of a monthly subscription. I said fuck it, uninstalled Spotify, and found this old friend in my glovebox. He's still kicking after 18 years.
I actually made some for Neashi and Nemu a few years back, but I forgot about them and the meme. I was able to come across this blank meme templete and decided to just make it for Medea, get to know her influence.
Inspirations:
-Asuka Langley Soryu - Neon Genesis Evangelion:
Tries to appear tough and jerkish in order to not appear weak but is actually really traumatized and scared.
- Ayano Aishi - Yandere Simulator:
Has some Yandere-ish behavior, as well as her headcanon English voice being that of Michaela Laws'.
- Medea - Greek Mythology and play by Euripides:
The main inspiration behind this character, albeit not 100%, same goes with Jason and his side-chick Glauce.
- Dave King - Lead singer of "Flogging Molly":
I mostly just used his last name for her name and his band's name for her Stand.
- Nemesis Sudou - Evillious Chronicles:
Very wrathful and vindictive with a twisted sense of justice but is regretful of hurting her loved ones. Also, a hitwoman for a group of villains.
- Naomi Kimishima - Trauma Center/Team:
Works for said group of villains before betrayal, later becomes a supporting protagonist and mother, she also recognizes how terrible her past actions were.
- Oliver Boy [All Of Our Boys] written and performed by Flogging Molly
Lyrics are written by Flogging Molly frontman, Dublin-born Dave King, and references Oliver Cromwell and the English occupation of Ireland and the attempted genocide of the Irish people, drawing comparisons to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. The song opens and ends with the lyrics "Now the sun shines on this page I write, though it's raining hard in Palestine", a metaphor for the current peace between independent Ireland and the British Empire, and the brutal conflict ongoing in Palestine.
