#jojo talks

i have never been the most proficient

at lying,

and my deception is at a disadvantage

when i am in this drunken state.

my boyfriend asks me with more kindness

than i can hear,

to keep my voice down.

we are sitting at a table of friends,

although i am not sure

if i have the right to call them that.

i’m also not sure i can call it a table,

seeing as it’s a whiteboard balanced

atop a writing desk.

i can’t lean too hard on the edge,

for fear of everything falling.

i am loud, and flirtatious,

and compose words into

patterns to please the ear.

i am playing a bard

here at this table.

although i’m not sure

how much of an act it truly is.

the girl two seats left of me

is rolling a d20.

she crits.

her body looks nothing like mine.

she is thin, and beautiful,

and i don’t think her boldness

is a shield like like the kind i bear.

she is a friend,

that one i am sure of.

i feel safe around her,

and i think that’s why

i want to be closer.

two seats in the other direction,

there is a man who looks

like the boys who hurt me.

tattooed skin. and muscled arms.

baseball cap. and defined hands.

i flinch when he touches my palm.

it is brief, just part of the game,

his character handing mine a weapon,

of all things.

i need to be his friend,

so i can stop seeing him as a threat.

i hate that my trauma is here,

even now.

new faces around a table,

but old fears watching me.

this is no longer dungeons and dragons.

this is a séance.

do not touch my hand.

the gateway will open,

and my past will fill the present.

do not touch my hand.

do not touch my hand.

i fear if i speak the words to him,

i will ruin the delicate balance of the whiteboard

atop the writing desk.

a few weeks ago,

the dungeon master told me

he does not allow sexual assault

in his campaigns.

rape has no place at his table,

and i know he means this as a kindness.

but i cannot help feeling

as though i have broken a golden rule.

i have brought my rape to the table.

i thought about it here,

where it is explicitly forbidden.

i don’t know what to say,

so i make another dirty joke.

(do i want to fuck the illithid

or the ranger two seats to my left?)

and dig my feet into the carpet.

it has only been 6 seconds.

i have been moving the pieces

in my head while the world stood still.

my trauma acts first,

then i must respond.

this is how the order goes.

there is no changing it.

my trauma finds me,

in a room full of people

who would face foes beside me.

this is how the game goes.

I love how he can have such cold expressions at times. Like he’s a Hitman and all, so that’s valid there. But it makes him look so badass at the same time…

Then there’s these, where he is purely menacing as hell! Honestly, look at him…he wants to kill DIO! I think when first watching JoJo, the scene between Hol Horse and DIO was my absolute favorite. Because I thought to myself, “Watch at least one of DIO’s agents attempt to ditch him.” And it was Hol. So funny. Like he tried so hard! He didn’t have a guts to shoot him, and it would’ve been cool to see Hol join the Crusaders, or if not, have his own ending where very rich from DIO’s mansion and retires from working for DIO. It’s not fair! He should’ve killed the mean blonde vampire…

Then we have the silly and cocky cowboy we all know. Look at him…like that pose at this introduction to Polnareff is just so goofy, like look at his legs! JoJo is just known for the bizarre poses haha. Anyway god I love the scene where he tells Polnareff either, “Hey come on! Do it, little PolPol!” or “Come on, PolPol-kun!” Depending if you’re watching subbed or dubbed. Like. Why does he have to be this unbelievably funny. It’s awesome regardless haha.

Hello, we’ll feature Polnareff a bit too because why not? He’s also as silly as Hol Horse. Hol Horse is so expressive, like he’s so spooked…this was also quite the scene to watch. I mean like, look at them. Do I need to explain? These men are so silly together, you know damn well they’ll do some stupid crap like this lmao. I will definitely be feeding some Hol and Pol people today.

I’ll conclude with this screenshot of the beloved cowboy. Man, I’m so normal about this man. And I could make this post much longer, but I’m very tired so my brain rotted this much for today. Thank you for listening!

So I was just looking through JoJo wiki and I come across this when looking through the Morioh page? 

y’all:
