What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!
Please read our FAQ/check out our schedule for more details.
Found an old sketch of Jou as a waterbender that I decided to finish! I have a whole AU in my head about it so I might sketch/write up my idea sometime
Like I mentioned before, I'll be recapping AJJ's story separately from everything else, as I have so much to say about it jfkdjfd It's technically part of a larger story, so it kind of makes sense? If you're wondering why I'm doing the same for the Ranger Academy story.....uh........it's Amy Jo Johnson's (and Matt Hotson's) prologue to The Return, Re-Imagine!
--- idk if i mentioned it before but I like the sort of mix between modern comic designs for the ogs and 90s portrayals. I do miss Kim's fuckass bob though
--- with the full comic confirming this is meant to be a diverged show timeline that means this really is meant to be their first kiss and i'm rhghhrhghrhgrhrggrj esp with the alteration of Kim's hand placement. Francesco I owe you my life
--- Finster agrees: men get pegged!
Also this is a minor thing but I like that Rita is visibly older here like she was on the show. comic!Rita has always been drawn younger but between MMPR/TMNT II and Mistress Vile they've really been piling on the sexy Rita fanservice lately
--- now why did she go and kind of low-key confirm DrakkonSlayer as romantic here too. "Take your place by my side" I've heard that line before!
--- listen dodging the Peace Conference and the Power Transfer with "wait.........we can fucking teleport, who cares if we're on the other side of the world" is the funniest way to go about it. Omega Rangers you're NOTHING
--- damn girl no one's going to take him from you!!!!!!
---
me @ Melissa's story: eh this is a bit over the top, like we get it, they're this super perfect romance, okay
me here: OH MY GODDDDDDDD HE PROPOSED ON THE COMMAND CENTER MOUNTAINNNNNN
--- Paralleling Tommy and Kim's wedding with Zedd and Rita's is so sick slkdhlskjlsdj AJJ is an auteur
--- OKAY SO. posting the whole page so we can discuss Once and Always 2.0 -
Jason and Rocky both being firefighters is a funny coincidence. Part of me has to wonder if both weren't originally meant to be cops but both sets of writers went with the "safer" choice. Basically a Warden Garcia situation
I know we all love Minh but Trini actually having a life beyond just being Minh's mom thank fucking god. And putting her in CONGRESS!!! Why did they give that to Zack in the special!!!!!!!!!
Billy being a scientist duh. At least this just seems like........experimental science stuff and not turning him into PR's Elon Musk
I already mentioned Trini getting the Congress job rather than Zack and I like him being a DJ!!!! It's nice to see some serious consideration given to Hip Hop Kido and love of music rather than ignoring it or making it a joke
and I know I yelled about it before but AJJ canonizing the Tomberly coach duo RHRHHRHGRHGHHGHGH i just know AJJ heard about the whole PhD in paleontology thing and went "............no??? he teaches fucking karate"
(and yay, Down Syndrome rep in Tommy's students :>)
--- damn just like seeing classic Rita and Zedd again seeing classic Serpentera again really makes you realize the current comic incarnation uhhhhhhh sucks. Especially when they're cutting to the chase and just blowing up shit compared to how Serpentera in the comics can get messed up by uhhh a big cat jumping on its tail
--- the way this cut happens in a page turn Amy Jo Johnson IS! AN! AUTEUR! (like legit it's awesome that you can clearly tell how she's applying her experience in directing TV and film to comic form.)
--- LOOK AT THE MOON THEY SONIC ADVENTURE 2ed THAT SHIT
--- and Kim/Emma I'm gonna need you to find your husband immediately you know you can't trust him to be on his own for five seconds
Gomamon and its most common evolution stages. It is best known as the partner Digimon of Kido Jo (eng: Joe) in the Digimon Adventure series.
Notably, Plesiomon was commonly used as Gomamon's Ultimate-level stage before Digimon Adventure (PSP) in 2013, while Vikemon was used as the Ultimate-level stage for Shakkoumon.
(For Jo) // 3.What does a typical day in the character's life look like?, 17. What is the character's relationship with technology or magic (depending on the genre)?, 28. What secret talents or abilities does the character have?

Jo's an early riser and has difficulty sleeping, so her days are typically long: Awake and up by 5-6 (or 3-4 on a rough night), go for a run or a swim, big breakfast, weights and training before work. Big lunch, checking up on subordinates and friends, more work, home for a second/third training session/physical therapy, and a bit of time for hobbies. Then biiiig dinner- this applies to any AU in which she's in a military, which is most of them lmao. Jo has to make sure to make plenty of time to eat, her metabolism is stupid fast (heat/plasma powers and long hours of physical activity) so acquiring or prepping food takes up a good chunk of her free time.
In a modern AU, no longer able to serve, Jo has significantly more time for socializing and her hobbies. She spends a lot of time surfing as well, or just out with the ocean. It's one more thing she makes time for, and if you can't find her at 3am she's either in the kitchen or out in the sea.

In Bleach, Jo has a relatively high amount of natural reiatsu and a pretty high-powered Zanpakuto. Before her merge she was passable at kido, but it was never something that came naturally to her and she had to work her ass off to even understand the basics. Theory outside of what she can see and feel are difficult for her, she has great physical intelligence but not so much in the more intellectual/"book smart" areas. She can figure out how to take apart and put together a car but explaining the physics of it is beyond her.
Post-merge, Jo can't do kido beyond the most basic- her reiatsu is not fully /hers/ and it's difficult for her to refine outside of what she feels instinctively. She still respects the hell out of people that can fire off high-level spells and teach others to do so.
Basically in any AU with magic (including GT), Jo usually has some natural, instinctive magic but outside of that isn't usually able to grasp any power beyond that. In DnD she'd be a monk/barbarian with MAD respect for wizards
.
It's always been that Jo is a pretty average guy as far as power but is a crazy hard worker and ends up with very hard-earned abilities. In GT it's actually something of a sticking point for her that she was unnaturally augmented, so she'll never be able to see what she could achieve on her own power.

I can't honestly say Jo has any secret talents? Maybe things that just don't come up often. She's a passable cook and has a deft hand for woodcarving and generally being pretty crafty, good with her hands. Before she lost her arm she could play the bass reasonably well, mostly to accompany her sister. She also has skill in first-aid and street/battlefield medicine, considering how often it gets done to her.
Oh! I suppose one thing that might be surprising about her is her relatively large or ~sophisticated~ vocabulary, despite her perceived intelligence level and that she generally just doesn't speak very much. It's all picked up from her friends, especially Eliot and Grant. (especially in GT, when both of those people regularly have mental conversations Jo can hear)
