You can be my lucky star~
So I was able to finish up my design for my jjba s/i Taylor Ripley! It took a bit of tinkering and colour experimentation here and there but Taylor’s design for Part 3 is finally done! In regards to Taylor’s stand TOKYO ROSE, I am still currently experimenting with various colour palettes, so it may be a while until I settle with something that I’m happy with.
That aside, I had so much fun drawing her, and I’m extremely happy with how this all turned out!
And before you ask, yes! Taylor is heavily inspired by Madonna and is very much a Madonna-Wannabe themself!
[ s/i uses she / they / fae / pix pronouns! ]

A very stupid late night thought… but… a JJBA Wrestling Au with Taylor Ripley, Kakyoin and Jotaro but they’re basically DX.

Every time I go to Taylor Ripley’s playlist, Spotify keeps recommending me the same songs by the same artists (that I have absolutely nothing against!!) over and over again.
I’m guessing that songs I’ve already added to the playlist influence the recommendations but like the fact it’s the same artists over and over again, I’m just... kinda annoyed by it all SHSHHSHS. Not in a bad way just... I want different songs pls. I want to broaden my tastes but when it comes to my self insert playlists, I’m so picky with songs because I look into the lyrics to see if they ‘fit’ my vision for the character.

Teacher: Taylor stop acting like a delinquent! Jotaro is a bad influence and you should stop hanging around him! It's a bad look for the school!

Small detail.... but what if I gave Taylor Ripley aviators? Cause I think that would improve her character design by a long mile...

Sometimes I think about the Potiential angst in the found family dynamic when it comes to the Stardust Crusaders and Taylor. Like as fae can handle themself on their own especially in fights but then there are moments when they just can't take it anymore and just break down emotionally. Like yeah they knew the journey was gonna be dangerous, but they didn't count on the fact they may have to actually hurt/kill people as to survive and add the whole Hangman situation and Taylor is hit by the morbid realisation that she could die at any moment and it really hits Taylor where it hurts. Cause like if she dies, Jotaro looses his best friend and obviously he’s NOT going to handle something like that- worse of all her Mother will not take this well uh... it won’t end well at all. Add to her awareness that TOKYO ROSE while powerful is not invincible and you kinda got an emotional teenager who's like so aware that they could die at any moment and add to the growing anxiety that they fear being viewed as 'weak' (although she seems for forget it works to her advantage). Obviously like the Crusaders are like ‘hey, Tokyo Rose has saved our asses on many occasions. You always see the big picture and are the smartest person in the room next to Kakyoin. Also you saved our asses with the Death 13 so you’re FAR FROM BEING WEAK.’ Like it does help with her confidence a little but it’s the heart to heart/one on one moments with her teammates that make her feel more at ease and stuff. It’s usually with Kakyoin the most (tbh Taylor has slight gender envy for Kakyoin) but then like for the most part it’s also Avdol and Jotaro that she kinda confides in as well. It’s usually kinda just about how Taylor feels so guilty for hurting people even if they’re like terrible people. The thing is that when confiding in Avdol it’s the kind of one on one conversation that has Avdol giving some advice in the end but with Jotaro he just listens to Taylor’s problems and thoughts and usually that’s kinda what Taylor needs, someone to listen to how she feels.
When Iggy enters the picture, Taylor is much more at ease, and while Iggy hates humans, Taylor seems to be the exception to that rule because they respect Iggy and understands that Iggy does not want to be seen as an ‘cute’ pet. And also like Iggy does respect Taylor cause at some point Taylor does save Iggy’s life And he's kinda thankful for it but Iggy is Iggy so :3

I have a vague idea for an AU where Taylor is infected with Steely Dan's stand ‘The Lovers’ instead Joseph Joestar and during the entire time she’s just... having an emotional breakdown, cause if the The Lovers aren't defeated in time Taylor will become a servant to Dio cause The Lovers have also implanted a Flesh Bud in their brain (which most of Dio's servants are infected with and are basically brainwashed to do his bidding) and it can possibly kill them too.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but like Jotaro’s ultimate fear is hurting Taylor, like directly or indirectly, mentally emotionally or physically or even accidentally. He doesn’t want to hurt Taylor because she’s kind of his only friend he’s ever really had that understood him and didn’t pretend to be his friend- and so hurting her is kinda just a general nightmare fuel thought for him. Now with Steely Dan being there its as if he worst fear has actually manifested into reality like a cruel sick joke from the universe.
Now for some fridge horror for you all. Imagine Jotaro having to contain his absolute rage to stop himself from hurting Steely Dan cause any time Dan is hurt that pain will become ten times worse for Taylor.
That said it does make for an ever so satisfying conclusion in the end but like during that entire time it’s just... the worst few hours of his life cause his best friend’s LITERAL LIFE IS ON THE LINE - and you know- you don’t want to have to give the bad news to your best friends family right?
During that situation... Kakyoin, Polnareff and Joseph are trying to help put Taylor at ease, but also are trying to save her life at the same time and it’s super stressful but also like just a moment in which Taylor CAN feel comfortable in lowering her guard down. She’s allowed a moment to just open up and just say what she feels and it’s as if a weight is lifted from her shoulders and she can BREATHE. Yeah her life is on the line but she has a moment to just speak how she feels, unfiltered and not sugarcoated. She’s able to talk to the team as more than just a member, but as a friend even. And throughout all of it it just Joseph and Polnareff that ‘THIS IS A TEENAGER’, and they’re the only actual adults in the room.
Kakyoin, during all of this is also trying to keep Taylor calm and at ease as he and the other Crusaders try to save her life. After the lovers are defeated she just hugs Kakyoin and just starts crying and Kak is totally fine with it cause he’d probably be doing the same thing if he was in her position :v
Also after this it’s kinda an open untold thing that the Crusaders CAN open up and talk to each other about the things that constantly bother them.
Look... jjba is more than just an action anime, it has its genuine moments when like the guys are able to be emotional and it’s great, and it just means they become closer as not just a team but a family too.

I know this might sound a little weird but... I don't really like the idea of pairing Taylor with a canon character in jjba. I know that seems pretty trivial and that's totally okay to have a self insert for a piece of media and not ship them with anyone. That's fine and I do have some self inserts in various media in which they're not really shipped with anyone.
That said... I have been pondering about shipping them with like.. Adam First from Vice City (haha crossover ships make me go brr). But like in all honestly he looks like a jjba character and he does have some of those wild vibes but idk if I should go through with it or not.

Your jojo insert sounds really interesting!!!! Wanna tell us more about Taylor?? I really enjoy seeing what people do with theirs (esp if they have a stand!!!!)
You want me to talk about Taylor? Oh you’re in for a wild ride-
LONG POST AHEAD.
I'll talk about Taylor Ripley as she is in Stardust Crusaders cause that’s the only thing I can think about.
First things off Taylor is kinda of a walking contradiction in regards to her character (externally and internally). On the outside she's outrageous especially with her fashion choices and she has this 'tough girl' act to go with it. However on the inside she's actually a quiet and reserved eighteen year old who'd just trying to fit in a complicated world.
I mean she’s pretty caring and kind for the most part. In fact she’s extremely selfless and compassionate heart. She’s also very empathetic, and while a bit of a free spirit, she kinda keeps it to herself because she doesn’t like people that much but also she’s not keen on interacting with new people she doesn't know. She’s frightened of people judging her, solely on who she is and what she does. Also Taylor’s just kinda lost (metaphorically), like she just wants to have a sense of belonging, a place to find/call home even. But even then she's honestly not really sure what she's looking for though (be it place or a group to feel comfortable in). So in a way Part 3 Taylor is kinda having an internal crisis.
Her family is fine as it is, it's just that everyone is so incredibly busy and scattered across the globe as well - it's not like she can make a phone call willy nilly. They love her and she loves them but like time is mean and also BUSINESS IS REALLY BUSY-
The only real like parental figures in her life are Motoko (yeah i dropped her into this universe cause I CAN) and Holly Kujo (this is how she knows Jotaro, she's like kinda childhood friends with him).
Any who back to Taylor; I like to think the way she dresses in a Madonna-Wannabe style helps her to sort of direct her frustrations of not fitting into society into something particularly freeing and productive. Like it feels nice to wear something that makes you feel free and confident, and to her it’s like literally breaking out of her cage by dressing how she wishes. It's not a fad thing either - like sure it looks cool don't get me wrong but it's making a statement too about how some young folks feel so trapped to live up to society's standards.
Kinda on topic, but the name Taylor Ripley is kinda in reference to Taylor Momsen, Taylor Swift and the absolute badass that is ‘Ellen Ripley’ from Aliens. Look Taylor is a mish mash of a lot of things-
I guess you can pinpoint that for being the reason why she and Jotaro are just really close together. They're like two peas in a pod, if you look for one, then chances are you'll also find the other one too.
Despite the shyness, Taylor is kinda feral - like she's just this emoji: (ง'̀-'́)ง. Due to her Australian Heritage it’s kinda a given that she has an Aussie accent, and has a bad habit of slipping colourful language into normal conversations. This is also the result of 'hanging out with Jotaro Kujo too much'. Seriously like they might be two peas in a pod but goodness gracious it's a very chaotic duo and honestly it’s best not to make them both mad-
Okay so Joot and Tay’s friendship is like - kinda on the level of platonic squad goals. and yes they are a little feral, they do care about each other and are willing to help each other out if need be.
Since Taylor is a self insert, that means she has Narcolepsy (with Cataplexy, cause you might as well make some representation for yourself), and with Narcolepsy comes days and moments when she’s REALLY tired and doesn’t have the right mental state to carry out certain jobs and stuff. This is ever more obvious at school, as Jotaro recognises the signs in which Taylor is really tired, and will act appropriately to ensure that she’s okay. He mostly reminds her to take her medication and but there are times in which he will ask about if she needs to go to the med bay for a nap or something. Basically looking out for her and her wellbeing basically, because Taylor is a little forgetful and sometimes a little stubborn to the point when Jotaro has to drag her to the Med Bay to take a nap. Also like just having Jotaro around is really handy because his intimidating presence is enough to scare away bad actors and characters who could probably do harm to Taylor.
On Taylor’s end, she does sometimes keep Jotaro inline, but if there’s a situation in which Jotaro’s actions make sense (like not paying when a restaurant’s food is terrible), then she doesn’t bother to intervene and instead sits on the sidelines like a spectator. Like it’s not her business and she usually ends up agreeing with Jotaro’s side. She doesn’t really get involved in these situations unless something gets under her nerves. Oh and Taylor is really helpful when it comes to shooing away the fangirls. Now I want to stress that she doesn’t hate them. The last thing Taylor wants to do is antagonize other young women (girl hate is not okay), instead she always makes sure to be polite about it but always tells them that Jotaro is a human being with feelings and that they should probably try to get to know the real Jotaro before making assumptions. It sometimes works?? but not always, but Joot doesn’t mind the fact that Taylor actually tries to get them off his back without having to be mean and cruel about it
Basically Joot and Tay look out for each other no matter what not just because they trust and respect each other, but because their friendship is mutually beneficial to each other.
I still haven't really gotten round to a solid motive for her joining in the search for DIO, but I'm kinda leaning towards an AU of 'Taylor's family has been indebted the Joestar Line and that it's time to help them in return' or 'Taylor is worried for Jotaro's wellbeing because it's literally a race against time to save his mother’. That is something I need to play with a little more though.
ALRIGHT LET'S TALK ABOUT TAYLOR'S STAND TOKYO ROSE.
So the thing is that I'm still working on TOKYO ROSE's design, and the thing is that it's still a work in development. However, I usually describe TOKYO ROSE as a draconic like stand with rough dark blue coloured scales. It's bipedal, standing on two legs like a Wyvern and has a long tail that whips from behind. Unlike usual western interpretations of a Dragon, TOKYO ROSE has no wings, rather it has arms that end in what can be described as another dragon head (for both arms). The head in the middle is more pronounced than the ones on it’s arms, especially with the large horns on it’s head. Spikes trail down the spine of the dragon-hydra going down all the way to the tail. Each head has piercing red eyes, and the jaws are jagged like teeth - that when opened have almost shark like rows upon rows of teeth.
(Think of TOKYO ROSE as like Drogon but without wings, and has two extra heads at the end of their arms.)
I mentioned some of the inspirations for TOKYO ROSE here. I also go into slightly more in-depth of TOKYO ROSE's capabilities besides here, but I’ll just briefly talk about what it can do.
Essentially, the main two powers of TOKYO ROSE is that it can ‘breathe’ powerful long ranged energy blasts from it’s mouths. It can turn these energy blasts into elemental energy blasts as well. It’s main attack though is Arctic Cannon, which is a strong blast of energy of ice. This is the main attack because the atmosphere is full of water droplets in the air which ate drained from the surroundings into the jaws of TOKYO ROSE - that then create this powerful blast of pure unadulterated cold energy which can also freeze things too. (Basically an Ice Type version of Hyper Beam)
It’s other ability it has is regeneration. It can heal it’s limbs, wounds, etc. which in turn also heal Taylor’s wounds too. Also-
If a head is cut off (which will affect Taylor), it will regenerate, healing itself and Taylor. Because much like a Hydra, you cut off one head - two grow back. Cutting off TOKYO ROSE’s middle head will only make one of the existing heads take its place - therefore saving Taylor’s own head.
is Taylor immortal? idk that’s up to interpretation for people tbh
From a strategic standpoint, TOKYO ROSE operates as a long ranged special attacking stand that focuses on taking out enemies with absolute power and accurate precision. Think of it as the Sniper, if you will.
Despite the power, TOKYO ROSE is a glass cannon. It’s got abysmal defenses and it can be taken out in a few hits (especially if it’s a close ranged Stand that has a lot of physical power or needs to make physical contact in order to attack). It’s biggest weakness is that anything sharp be it spikes, swords, knives, anything sharp - can do a lot of harm to TOKYO ROSE. The only way to take down a Dragon is to cut off it’s head / to slay it entirely.
I think it should also go without mentioning that TOKYO ROSE is heavily based off the MonsterVerse version of King Ghidorah, in that each head has it’s own personality and way of thinking.
The Right Head; nicknamed ‘ze’ is the most calm and collected of the trio. It has an awareness of its own surroundings and displays the ability to form strategies - even communicating that with its Stand User.
The Middle Head; nicknamed ‘xe’ is the leader, the one that keeps the other heads on track when they’re in a fight. He acts out the orders that are given out by its Stand User. It is also the most aggressive in a fight.
The Left Head; nicknamed ‘ve’ is the curious and more playful one - although it’s playfulness can easily turn into aggression.
Also one of my favourite things about TOKYO ROSE is that it’s the type of stand that really works well with other stands too, especially if they happen to use an elemental power. For example TOKYO ROSE can borrow the flames of Magician’s Red to use in it’s own attacks, and can actually go along with a tag-team like strategy too! It leaves a lot of potential combinations for Taylor to work with - and the added use of teamwork can really make a difference in a life or death situation.
And.... that’s kinda it?? wow that took me almost forever to write because the moment I saw this in my inbox I HAD TO ANSWER IT- but i cannot thank you enough for sending this in because I have so many thoughts and ideas about Taylor - that I’ve only just scraped the surface! but thank you Kola for letting me gush about my s/i because I’ve put so much love and thought into her as a character and it would be a crime if I didn’t share it with anyone because I take a lot of care and pride in creating her!
