Johnny Joestar

- he's incredibly loyal and devoted to you and only you. the minute you make it official, he's locked on to you for life.

- he's a good listener, often not contributing much commentary when you tell him things but he's nodding his head along or doing anything else. he thinks your voice is nice to listen to.

- communication is key in your relationship, he wants that to be obvious even if he's blunt with his own words. he values honesty over anything else. if somethings wrong, he'll tell you.

- he's incredibly touch starved, its not even funny. he longs for you to be around him and for him to wrap himself around you. to feel your hands stroking the strands of his yellow strands, your lips gently pressed against his skin and your legs tangled with his.

- his love language is quality time, he'd want to spend time with you as much as possible. it doesn't even matter what the two of you do, just as long as he's by your side.

-incredibly protective of you. he trusts you but that doesn't mean he wont keep an eye on you whenever you're doing something. especially talking to someone else, dont get me started on how jealous he can be. even if he doesn't want to admit it.

- you kinda love how there's a different side to him behind closed doors. when you're away from everyone else, he allows himself to be vulnerable around you. just don't tease him for it, otherwise he'll pull away and make you work for his attention again.

- loves hugs from you. it's sweetly intimate how warm your bodies feel pressed against one another, he hears you sigh and your heart beat pounding. he takes this moment to really admire you and that you're alive and here with him. it's kinda cheesy but he tends to linger these hugs longer than you wouldve thought.

- can't fall asleep without you right at his side. he likes to wrap around you like a koala, hearing your voice softly speaking to him before drifting off into a deep slumber. he dreams about you a lot, recollecting them to you whenever it was a particular dream he couldn't stop thinking about.

- has a hard time with his words but you'll ocassionally hear an "i love you" from him. but thats inly when he wants to be nice and catch you off guard.

Gyro Zeppeli

- he's a big flirt and teases you for just about anything. constantly. it's his love language at this point.

- rarely ever calls you by your name, unless he's being serious about something or when he's angry. he likes using petnames on you, whatever annoys you the most will be one he calls you the most.

- part of his love language is to info dump on you a lot, even at the most mindless things. he's a storyteller and you're his audience, he's looking forward to your reactions and expressions.

- he's very touchy, he likes making it known that he's right there present next to you. he likes leaving a lingering hand on your shoulder or when he's cupping your face. the expression you make is cute in his opinion.

-likes to sing to you, its his way of serenading you. he'll claim to use his voice to get you to fall for him, not that you already weren't. he has tons of little songs he wants you to hear. his favorite song to sing to you is him repeating your name over and over again.

-cooks for you! he claims to be the best chef in these parts and wants to make you something. anything you'd like. and he wants honest feedback too, he likes watching you eat as you hum at how good it is. and he'll just smile back and go, "i know, i just wanna hear you say it."

- you can definitely rely on him for a lot of things. he's never disappointed you nor give you a reason to not trust him. he doesn't even try either, you tell him something and he won't forget it. ever.

- reactionary anytime you speak. he's a good listener, hums and speaks in response whenever you talk to him. his favorite response is a smug, "oh yeah?" when you rush to him bright eyed and bushy tail about something.

- not the jealous type, he's confident in himself and he likes to think that he can trust you. he finds it amusing when someone else is flirting with you, he does nothing and watches back to see what you'll do. and he's watching intensively too.

- tends to initiate a lot of the affection. going back to him being the touchy type, he's very exaggerated with the way he expresses his love for you. wants to smother you in his arms, even if you struggle under his strength. he'll even pucker up for a kiss, even if you leave him hanging a bit.

- he says "i love you" a lot. even when you're parting ways temporarily, he wont miss the chance to whisper those words to you or in a passing when he's feeling a little playful at the moment.

Diego Brando

- as much as he loves the attention, i'd unironically see him settling down with somebody who isn't/wasn't part of his fangirls group. he'd want to be with someone whose devoted to him for who he is, not what his status is.

- that being said, he really likes to act like he's not interested in your advances despite how cherry his face gets. his mind runs crazy but his mouth does very little to keep up, resulting him bite back his tongue and letting you jab at him.

- he will always look out for you, even when you least expect it. he claims it's him "saving your ass" but really, he's just being intuitive and cautious. he's like your own personal little guardian.

- he's so nosy about almost everything that you do. he see's you getting dressed and about to leave your shared home when he stops you as you reach for the doorknob. "where are you going?" he asks with his arms crossed. mind ya business!

- quickly shuts up whenever you get super affectionate with him. ruffle his blonde hair, give him a kiss, pull him in for a hug, or give his hand a small squeeze. it honestly melts his worries away but he wouldn't voice it out loud.

- discreetly reciprocates your affection. he'll turn around when you snake a hand around his waist and he'll hide a kiss from everyone. it's not that he's shy, he just doesn't want anyone else to see him be this soft.

- lets you ride on silver bullet. he trust you so much to hop on and encourages you to wrap yourself around his waist. he really likes it when you stay so close to him. hold on to him a little tighter.

- he's a little tease when it comes to kisses. he knows what he's doing and he kisses with a lot of passion. but sometimes he doesnt like to go easy on you and makes you work for it. he gets a kick out of watching you struggle, just a little bit.

- he's brutally honest and blunt with you about pretty much everything. if you really need a second opinion or want to hear him out, he will give it to you straight. no sugarcoating.

- he doesn't say "i love you" often. you probably heard him say it once or twice but he doesn't throw it out so easily. the most you'll hear him say is "thank you". still, it's like a game getting him to submit to you and be honest with himself of his feelings for you. he does love you, he just doesnt wanna say it.

Hot Pants

already did hot pants right here! :)

Hello there, thanks for writing in. It sounds to me like the shame and the sense that you "should' be doing something more is such a massive source of emotional distraction that it prevents you from seeing what you might be able to do, in a small way, to live out your political values in every moment of your daily life, and it's probably keeping you from giving yourself credit for all the times in which you are already doing that. I don't know your background, but a lot of people in western countries with highly individualistic & white supremacist cultures come to think of "activism" as this highly personal act with a heavy personal burden of morality -- we (speaking for myself) think of ourselves as failed martyrs who have not done or given enough to the world, rather than seeing ourselves as a small component of what makes up a larger community, and our efforts as inherently interconnected and part of something larger than we can see.

Here is some writing I have on the subject, I hope it's helpful:

Thank you so much xoxo 🖤

Hello love. I'm having a great month so far. My health got better, it was my birthday and started working on some projects. I hope you're having a great month too, dear! 🤎

I believe that what's mentioned is important to consider, yet not to take as fact that it will always manifest that way. Every overlay, aspect, or placement has its lighter side and the learning and lessons it brings. The 7th house can show us partnerships, including what many mention about marriage. It's important to consider that it's opposite the 1st house, which can often ask us to face things from other perspectives or interact with people who don't fit with who we are or what we're looking for. Differences may exist, which can lead to personal problems and the enmity mentioned.

I believe that in order to answer your question, we need to keep in mind our personal priorities and the type of relationship we want to build. Yet... If I had to answer it quickly, I would say it would be: 2nd house and 3rd house.

I find quite helpful to have planets in the 2nd house to work on the foundations of the relationship. In terms of synastry, having your partner's planets, especially their personal ones, in this house can indicate a shared personal value system. This can facilitate understanding and clear boundaries. Now, if we're talking about a composite chart, I think both people can be focused on keeping the relationship stable over time.

I've always emphasized that one of the most important things in a relationship is effective communication. Things like knowing how to listen and being willing to learn from your partner (teach them in return too) are essential for a relationship to thrive and be sustainable. That's precisely why I highlight placements in the 3rd house, synastry, or composite chart. It facilitates the flow of conversation and adds a lot of variety and enjoyment to the relationship, which serves as a lovely way to connect with your partner.

The other houses are not negative. I would say they can fit the native's respective needs. I want to elaborate a bit on some of these.

That's an interesting way to frame it. I suppose I'd do a lot of basic featureless drawings until I could have the hang at least of some kind of base body figure to play around with, pose and push my knowledge of anatomy with, basically studying the very basics until I could get to that threshold where I can learn it as I draw things that are more fun to me. I think the main downside of this is that your drawings might not be immediately appealing, as opposed to starting by developing a more cartoon or abstract style, but it would mean that down the line you can develop those branches more easily since you have a better grasp of basic anatomy and can simplify into those styles from those principles. I think I'd also go out of my way to try and connect with or at least follow artists that are my contemporaries to understand how they work, what kind of hurdles and habits I should expect or learn. You can study masters all you want and it will surely be beneficial, but we live in the present, and not only that but I extremely unstable present, which is different to compare to times even fifty years ago. As such you have to frame yours works within that, and understand it will inevitably be much different than the highest highs you aspire to get to. The key to improving is balance, knowing when to push yourself without breaking your spirit or desire, and always striving to find the fun in what you are doing. I think a more mechanical approach where you ignore your own fun and desires to favor just raw improvement faster will show better results, but down the line you will draw very well without even understanding your own art. You may end up looking at it as some kind of product to be consumed, instead of a language. Art at its core is communication, which is why we feel compelled to show it to others, and without the expectation that someone one day may look at it and understand something about you through images alone, I feel it's hard to motivate yourself to keep drawing.

Another piece of advice is to let your surroundings inspire and shape your art. Don't feel like you have to fit in and that there is no other way. If there is nothing you relate to in a space, then bring that which you like to it. Communicate with this space through your own experiences. Maybe it'll be clunky at first, but as you get better you'll better understand how to marry your own experiences to these topics you may like, and why your experiences inform how you like them in the first place. It's better to be new and awkward than to suppress a part of yourself because you assume it already has zero value. No matter how many years pass, I am always delighted to find a new take on an old thing. Like a Japanese artist who deeply loves TES games. I feel the clash of those two things creates interesting and valuable art. If we don't have the freedom to clash with things in order to create new elements, what's the point?

And of course never feel bound to any particular style. We develop our own language and our own rules naturally by our own physical restrictions, and your own art language should also come naturally to you over time. So there is no reason not to break things and try something different and strange every once in a while. Don't be afraid to experiment with your art as you learn.

HE HONESTLY DOES NOT mind. the topic of having children never really accured to him until the two of you were serious with your relationship—by at least marriage; the thought of children never once questioned him.

when you sit him down, and tell him you aren't fond of having children, DAZAI laughs softly. not in a mocking way—but because he feels the same way.

"so it will be us till death do us part, won't it, bella~" he would say dramatically at first, as a way to lighten up the mood if your scared or worried—until he takes your hands and tells you to look at him,

"thank you for telling me, donna~ to be quite honest, i never thought about having children—of course," he lifts your hand and kisses your knuckles, "having another mini you running around wouldn't be quite as bad."

knowing the world puts pressure on women having children, he'll reassure you in his own way; "you don't need to prove anything to anyone, if you think it's the right move then that's all i need to know, darling~"

you only rubbed his cheek with your hand and smiled warmly, silently thanking him.

dazai himself never once thought about becoming a father—only when you two got married and you've questioned him about having children before to see his reaction, he choked.

he's not ready for children, and neither were you. the both of you left it at that and continued your lives together.

I was re-reading your post about the Shroud siblings (specifically about ortho), and I was wondering what you think about the Shroud parents? Before Book 7, a lot of the fandom thought they were neglectful and didn't treat the Shroud siblings well. However, in Book 7, we met them formally and see...Mama Shroud is lively and adores her sons a lot. Do you think it's a case of Idia being an unreliable narrator (with teenage angst), or something else? I'd love to know your outlook, even if you didn't give them much thought! :)

Hello~! I’m glad you enjoy my posts ^^

I’ve already discussed the possibility of Idia being an unreliable narrator on his parents in an older post. You can see that here. Now that I’ve had more time to sit with the idea and digest it, I feel I can share my personal thoughts on this particular writing decision.

I do enjoy the wholesome relationship the Shroud parents have with their children. It’s nice that they acknowledge robo!Ortho as their third son and the comedic dynamic Shroud Mama specifically has with the men of the family, since her brightness contrasts with her husband’s cooler demeanor and her eldest son’s gloominess. However, as much as I find the current version of the Shroud family endearing, I also think Twst went the safe route and, in doing that, missed the chance to do something far more interesting with them.

To quickly review why the fandom largely believed the Shroud parents were distant: in book 6, Idia characterizes his parents as caring more about results and their work than their children. The Shroud parents being absent in his post-OB flashback also informed the idea that they were neglectful and not present in their sons’ lives, not even bothering to check up on Idia following a traumatic event. Instead, it is NPC S.T.Y.X. staff who monitor him.

If I’m being entirely honest, the way the Shroud parents were written in book 7 and beyond feels like a massive missed opportunity. They went the easy way out by skipping over any potential conflicts and struggles the Shrouds could have had and instantly jumping to the happy “yay, we’ve successfully resolved our trauma and accept what happened” portion.

Imagine how interesting it would have been if we had Shroud parents that actually MATCHED Idia's description of them? We don't have any guardians that are specifically characterized as cold and distant, so this would add variety to that group of NPCs. We could have gotten an arc about a once close-knit family torn apart by grief (maybe the parents threw themselves into work to cope and neglected Idia’s feelings) learning to reconnect. And like??? I feel like it’d be so much more meaningful seeing the Shroud parents being awkward and learning to be emotionally vulnerable with Idia, to acknowledge Ortho as his own being. I don’t see them as being mean or malicious, just unsure of how to make amends with their estranged sons (with maybe Shroud Mama being the “heart” of the group).

To me, there wasn't enough in the pre-book 7 writing to indicate that Idia's testimony about his parents was not accurate, or that they intentionally wanted to portray Idia as a biased source. Because Twst is a mostly dialogue + a visual novel format, we’re sort of forced to accept a lot of what the characters say at face value unless otherwise indicated. Twst could have had another character (even a NPC) commenting that Idia isn’t being honest about the director + engineering director, or even a moment of silence from others to show they’re thinking or holding back from speaking out on Idia’s commentary. The fact that they didn’t is odd because Twst employs this strategy so frequently in its format, especially in book 7’s dream expositions.
