#patchie talks

i’ve been away from tumblr for quite some time. i got caught in my work aaaaaaaaaaaaaand i’d been trying to avoid using social media in hopes of dodging stone ocean’s spoilers for the last batch (though i’ve already finished reading the manga last year).

but what can i say? i feel so bad for emporio because he’s still have the memories from the original universe while his friends don’t. imagine the trauma of living the life with your friends (or other people) who have no idea who you are and the recollection of your friendship are gone with the wind.....

yes i cried....i did.....for real. and look!!!!! i even tried wiping off emporio’s tears on the screen even if it’s laughably impossible. at least i tried, okay?

but something reminded me a few hours after i finished the last batch. i have a cousin who used to work in orlando, florida (the setting where the events of stone ocean took place). she gave me 2 mugs from starbucks several years ago as souvenirs from her trip.

and guess what?

both of the items have motifs from the series. a dolphin.......and a rocket......and palm trees too.............the recurring pieces that make up the whole picture that is stone ocean. it’s freaking crazy because i have these for several years.

it felt like araki knew what was up with me. it’s as if he knew that years from then i’ll be a hardcore jojo fan even if i wasn’t aware of the series’ existence back then.

my workmate even joked that everything was meant to be, that i’m just a late-bloomer stand user. that i’ll be watching the series years later.

it’s a shame though the mugs are just kept in a dusty corner. i’ll be cleaning them and then repurpose them as display pieces along with the jolyne and jotaro plushies i’ll be planning to buy soon.

so i watched the 2nd batch of stone ocean and

👆 this is the actual shot of me screaming and thrashing around my bed the moment anasui came strutting in the scene

my SAMANTHAVEGA x Stone Ocean bag came in earlier!!! (〃＾▽＾〃) you have no idea how freaking happy i was when i began unwrapping layers upon layers of bubble wrap. i remember i had someone in japan placing an order in the official website at the last minute; it took too long for me to decide.

if you’re curious, i spent around $245 for the bag, charm and other fees charged by my proxy buyer. SAMANTHAVEGA is a luxury brand, after all - that’s to be expected. while it’s goddamn expensive, my heart is full <3

i was surprised because despite the small size of the bag, i get to fit most of my important stuff. you can see how snugged megumi and nobara were (─‿‿─)♡ i can bring this to work if i’m not required to bring my laptop, but when i do... i’m afraid i’ll have to switch to my other bag.

the mini heart purse is life-saver too! i don’t have to fish for my wallet anymore inside the main compartment when in hurry. small amount of money can be chucked in it, and i can quickly grab them when i’m in public transportation.

it was in my plans to buy that shoulder bag too, but i held back because i wasn’t sure where and when i’m going to utilize it.

with the recent release of the final season of the series, all of the things i love with the fandom came flooding back like an avalanche. 

especially with akiramon. when i learned that they had some kind of progress, i rose from the dead, just like how jesus resurrected lazarus. 

i guess this is also an update on my tumblr that has been dormant for quite some time.

so uhh, hello. once again.

I don’t update here much, but if you’re looking for more of my stuff, head over to my twitter! 

Tumblr has become stricter since december 17th. Even if i have made nsfw art, i couldn’t upload it here--they are rotting in my drafts, sadly--because of the implemented rules.
