Secrets and Broken Hearts

-----------------------------

Chapter 1

Thomas Shelby x (Writer) Reader

Ms. (Y/N) Bennett goes around to her normal, everyday life, a happy life with her lover, William Carter. Everything is good. A happy life, yes. Truly, she's happy. Right?

CONFESSION:

To cause a strain in marriage through infidelity, hurt as it is, could there be more?

...

Brumi, around 11 p.m. found drunk, a married man coming out of another woman's home, a place near the heart of the city in London, as his wife heart to him

I confirm, with a heavy heart that should his wife leave him, it would probably be best, sometimes those we love, be it family, jewelries or the pastry shops around town rots from within, bread and blood. Shall the day come?

M.D.

A woman sat snuggly on the couch of her shared flat with her lover, reading a pamphlet. It was her day off. Surely, she could just lounge around without care of the world, right? Her thoughts were interrupted the moment the front door creaked open.

"Will! You're home!"

The woman shouted, running towards her lover with the biggest smile known to earth. It had been days since she last saw him, said he had an important work that needed to be held in London. What does a simple tailor need to go to London for? She thought, though it was interrupted once her said Lover just chuckled, wrapping his arms around her whilst spinning her around.

"God's I missed you"

"As I do, how'd the business go?"

She asked, which made the man put her back on her feet. She tilted her head, waiting for an answer before he let out a cough. Kissing her temple before making his way to the kitchen to grab himself a drink, whiskey she presumed it to be.

"William?"

"Mhm? Oh, yeah. It went well dear, no need to worry your darling head." He reassured her, walking over to sit on the couch before patting the space next to him, signalling for her to sit beside him.

"S'your day off?" He asked, drawing the previous conversation to an end. Walking over to him, she nodded.

"Yep, I had Catherine handle the shop for today since it's Wednesday. Business would be slow anyway." She explained, snuggling close to him on the couch while he nodded in acknowledgement.

William had a shop down in Small Heath. She would help around as he tailored suits. Usually, she would stand as a cashier, help with the numbers, hang suits, and dresses. Though it was a bit inconvenient to own such a store in this smoke polluted town, William believed that everyone should have the chance to wear such clothing if they wanted to. One of the many qualities she loved about him.

The next day came by quickly. After breakfast with William, they both headed out for the shop. William opened the door for her like the gentleman he is, giggling at his actions she walked inside before earning a wink from him.

"Catherine, you're here early, noh?" She smiled at the woman who was currently occupied with hanging the newly tailored suits that were to be picked up.

"Oh! Ms. Bennett and Mr. Carter, what a pleasure to see you both." She said, putting a halt to her actions before making her way to the couple. Catherine May currently works as an apprentice for William. Even though the couple insisted on being called their first names, she would always refuse. In time, the said couple had just let her be.

"Love, why don't you handle the shop for today, hm? I have business with Ms. May over here, I need her assistance with a wealthy client down by the block." William said, which made his lover nod. Giving him a quick kiss before sending him and Catherine off by the front door.

Going over to finish what Catherine was doing before, she made sure everything was up and ready before officially opening the shop for the day.

In the afternoon, she was occupied at the counter when she overheard two women gossiping as they were picking out dresses.

"Have you seen the newest pamphlet given this morning?"

The first woman with blonde hair spoke as her shorter friend then continued

"I haven't got the chance to! I've been caught up with my husband these past few days. After the war, everything seemed to turn for the worse."

As the conversation of the ladies went on, they continued their chatter to Ms. Bennett, after picking out their newfound dresses, ready to pay for them.

"I still wonder how no one has been able to identify this writer..." The shorter one said.

"Writer? You mean 'M.D.' By any chance?" She spoke, which instantly caught the attention of both women.

"You read his stories too, Ms. Bennett?"

"I have only ever heard it," She answered with a smile, which made both women in front of the counter raise their brows in acknowledgement. Giving the two women their dresses in a bag after they paid. They chatted for a bit before they left the store

M.D. the infamous writer going about his day to write gossip around every nook and cranny in this town. Of course, she not only read his stories, she knew them by heart even before he went and published them. M.D. which stood for 'Morris Dawn' is a part of her, after all, her very own secret life. Besides, who would even suspect a nice woman living a double life as a writer? The coppers themselves wouldn't dare touch her, afterall her pamphlets coincedentally gave out information of criminals and thugs alike enough as it is vague. Vague but still there, enough to keep their mouth shuts and not find out who this writer was, after all the writer wasn't doing anything wrong. Her thoughts were completely stopped when she heard the bell of the front door ring, signalling someone had entered the shop. Looking over, she saw who it was. Those three brothers she went to school with. Smiling, she greeted them.

"I'll go get the suits, please wait a moment."

"No need to be so formal, love. S'just us, hm?" The youngest one chuckled, a toothpick between his lips. She just chuckled along before making her way to bring them their suits. She was acquainted with Jon and Arthur, though she could never get a read on their other brother.

"I'd prefer it that way, though." She shrugged, which caused a smirk to be placed on the oldest.

"Would you like to try them on? See if it's tailored to your liking?" She asked the three of them before, which caused Jon to shake his head.

Bidding goodbye, the Shelby's went out the store. Their suits are free of charge, per the request of William. Thinking the lot went away, she began to organise the rack when she heard a coin being placed on the counter. Turning her head, she saw the second oldest. Thomas was looking at her quietly, smoking his cigarette.

"For the trouble." Was all Thomas said before heading out the shop where his brothers waited for him.

hello i am here to infodump about my ocs. im making them disabled and nobody can stop me

one of them, x, has literally no pupils. the setting has like. magic and stuff, so his no pupil-ness doesn't make him totally blind; his vision is quite blurry and he has a smaller field of view. he uses a long cane to get around this, as well as colour coded objects so that he can tell what he's using, etc.

another one, brumi - she got into (and still does, but less so) a LOT of fights, and she's very disabled. she's an ambulatory wheelchair user, she has chronic pain, she's partially blind in her left eye & she probably has nerve damage? i haven't done the most research, im sort of going out on a limb so i can get a vague picture of what i'd want to do research into. anyway. another one of my ocs, astron, has the ability to adjust people's gravity, so him and brumi are quite close since he can pick her up and move her places if she doesn't have any of her aids on her.

also x has a stutter because i want him to have a stutter

that's basically it lol. i may come back to talk about more of my ocs once i figure out what disabilities they'd have

oh also all of my characters are autistic (mainly because i dont know how to write allistics asdhghad) - oc anon

That's pog as fuck

This was by far my most popular post that even had a decent amount of discourse I deleted from the notes lmao

But yes, a crowning achievement this was, I have never put out this much determination onto any fanart, I’m amazed at what I was doing between 2018 and early 2020 honestly???? Who was this girl and how was she both studying semi-diligently, doing digital art and socializing on discord and twitter (twitter was exciting to use in 2017/2019 ksefsees)

More word vomit from me all the bucciarati ships deeply move me. Obviously, they were a huge hyperfixation for me while I was deep into jjba and I never really had any courage to talk about most of them, which is both funny and sort of sad lol

I was definitely kind of afraid of getting into any ship discourse, so I largely avoided posting about the especially rare [Bruno] ships. Brugio is definitely still less popular than Giomis or Bruabba in EN fandom, but it definitely had some fans in the tag. Ships like Brunara, Brumis or Bruno/Fugo are super niche and I was beyond shy of messaging literally any of the other five (total) people who shipped these things. It’s also kind of funny how there was enough hate for these ships even though they’re super rare even in JP fandom, oh well.

Anyway I always liked the idea of everyone crushing on Bruno and it was definitely not because I was projecting my own massive thirst for him lmao

Title: Fatigue

Rating: Teen and Up

Fandom: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo

Pairing(s): BruMis

Summary: Truth be told, Bucciarati doesn’t think that he has much left in him. He’s at his limit; hit the wall nearly two hours ago, in fact, but he’s forced himself forward through sheer willpower. It’s not as though he hasn’t pushed past worse (blood pouring from his shoulder at an alarming rate, lungs burning with a need for air--). A bit of exhaustion isn’t going to stop him, not when the wellbeing of his Team depends so heavily on him.

Notes: Btw, I'm doing a writing giveaway! Check out this post to see how to enter.

Truth be told, Bucciarati doesn’t think that he has much left in him. He’s at his limit; hit the wall nearly two hours ago, in fact, but he’s forced himself forward through sheer willpower. It’s not as though he hasn’t pushed past worse (blood pouring from his shoulder at an alarming rate, lungs burning with a need for air--). A bit of exhaustion isn’t going to stop him, not when the wellbeing of his Team depends so heavily on him.

So he pushes onward, with one foot in front of the other and eyes that cross from the effort that it takes to keep them open. Sticky Fingers catches him no less than three times in the span of thirty minutes. Their hands hold to his hips until he’s steady enough on his feet again, and he has to ignore the look he gets from his own Stand. That harsh, unseeing gaze that must look so similar to the unimpressed looks he shoots his Team when they’ve pushed themselves too far.

Bucciarati shakes it off like he does the burning ache in his limbs. Just a bit longer. He can rest soon.

Even as he thinks the words, his feet drag underneath him, and his toes catch, pitching him forward. Sticky Fingers snatches him up under his arms and refuses to let go. Bucciarati meets their helmeted gaze with tired, bloodshot eyes, but his Stand doesn’t let go, which means Bucciarati isn’t doing anything until he’s satisfied his Stand’s protective nature. Damn reflections of the soul.

“Fine,” he nearly spits, because it feels like a sore topic. To rest when he doesn’t think he’s earned it yet, but he knows a losing battle when he sees it. Besides, he doesn’t want to be caught in the middle of the hall having a (mostly) non-verbal argument with his own Stand. That would be a touch more humiliating than he can handle when his nerves are already overworked and fried.

Without intending to, Bucciarati gravitates toward the one person he trusts above all else when he’s in this state. Thankfully, Mista isn’t hard to find. He’s been on the couch for the last three days, thanks to a sprained ankle and an away Giorno.

Bucciarati says nothing as he drops his weight onto the couch unceremoniously. He collapses against Mista, suddenly feeling empty. Devoid of-- anything, really. He has nothing left to give now that his momentum has been stripped away, and he’s feeling oddly on edge. With emotions that are threatening to teeter wildly if he thinks too hard. Instead, he curls his arms around himself and presses closer to Mista.

Five, having watched everything unfold, panics-- shrieks, “The Boss doesn’t look so good!”

“I know,” Mista says after a moment. He doesn’t need anyone to point that out. He can see it in the way that Bucciarati only curls tighter. “It’s okay,” he adds, or it will be. He moves to hook an arm around Bucciarati, and his fingers graze along Bucciarati’s arm. A slow, barely there gesture that’s meant to ease Bucciarati into the concept of physical comfort. Mista knows better than to bombard him all at once, particularly when he’s like this.

Several minutes pass before Mista can feel some of the tension ease from Bucciarati’s shoulders, and he moves on to petting the length of Bucciarati’s bicep until that, too, has an effect.

It’s a slow affair, working over fatigued muscles and frayed nerves, but it’s a task that Mista’s more than happy to take up. It’s rare that he gets a chance to take care of Bucciarati; the man so rarely lets his guard down.

Eventually, Mista is able to shift them so Bucciarati is resting against him. Chest pressed to chest and the length of Bucciarati’s body settled between Mista’s legs. Mista has his back against the arm of the sofa. He can’t see Bucciarati’s face, considering where it’s currently buried against his neck, but he can see the way Bucciarati’s body sags gradually as he finally stops fighting his body’s needs and begins to doze off.

Mista runs his fingers through Bucciarati’s hair a few times, testing the waters. When Bucciarati doesn’t pull back, he sets to work on unclipping the barrettes and undoing the braid. His fingers smooth through the length of Bucciarati’s hair until they no longer snag, and he’s left looking down at half-wavy, half-straight hair.

The temptation to continue playing with it is too strong for him to resist. Besides, it doesn’t seem to be bothering Bucciarati, so he cards his calloused fingers through again and again, as if he might be able to straighten out the previously plated pieces to match the rest of Bucciarati’s hair.

He’s completely unsuccessful, but Bucciarati lets out a sleepy, contented sigh against his neck that only encourages Mista to keep going. He scratches his short nails against Bucciarati’s scalp every time he brings his hands back up, and gently works the length of the long, black strands until he finds the ends once more. It’s soothing, in a way. The TV has long since been tuned out with Mista no longer recognizing the program that’s on, and he doesn’t care. There’s not a sight better in this world then the one he’s been blessed with now.

Soft snores break him out of his thoughts, and Mista has to bite back a laugh. Not because he thinks it’s funny, but because Bucciarati’s snores are about as endearing as the rest of him. Quiet, gentle things that reaffirm that he’s asleep without being obnoxious, which is more than Mista can say about his own, but that’s beside the point.

“You gotta learn how to come to me sooner,” Mista murmurs, quiet enough to not disturb Bucciarati, but he hopes the man might get it through his thick skull anyways. It’s fine if he doesn’t; Mista’s more than happy to care for the man when he gets like this. He just hates seeing Bucciarati suffering. Needlessly. He can’t bear the weight of the world on his shoulders, no matter how hard he tries. He’s done it long enough, yet he still can’t let go.

It’s fear, Mista knows. Fear that if Bucciarati stops, if he looks away for even a moment, something will happen. His Team will be gone. Mista gets that, and he’s not sure how to help someone with a problem he hasn’t figured out himself. He can only hope that these little sessions are enough to keep Bucciarati going until they figure it out.

Star Blazers: The Comet Empire (episodes 23-26: The Battle of Earth)

[All images copyright Claster Television Productions, Sunwagon Productions, and Academy Productions. Please don’t sue me]

PREVIOUSLY ON STAR BLAZERS...

It has been a year since the end of the Gamilon War and a new enemy known as the Comet Empire has set its sights on Earth, aided by Desslok and the remnants of the Gamilon Empire...

Derek Wildstar has reassembled the Star Force and taken the Argo to investigate a message from Trelaina of Telezart and to assess the threat of the Comet Empire. As they left the solar system, the Argo rescued a platoon of Space Marines under the command of Sgt. Knox, who were attacked by the mysterious enemy on planet Brumis (the 11th planet of the solar system...who knew?) These Marines became reluctant members of the Star Force (as they couldn’t exactly turn around and return to Earth)

The Comet Empire has entered the solar system and has met the combined might of the Earth Defense navy, completely destroying it except the Argo, which is crippled. During the battle, Wildstar is critically injured.

If you would like to watch the series, KissCartoon has your hookup

With the battle over, the Star Force begins the extensive repairs needed so they can...what, die heroically at the hands of the Comet Empire? Sandor supervises the entirety of the repairs from the bridge, having assumed command while Wildstar is in recovery.

After the battle, the Argo drifted to Jupiter (millions of miles from Saturn. Once again, the writers need to study astronomy) so once the engines are repaired enough Sandor tells Venture to land at the Earth base on Ganymede to help facilitate repairs.

In Sickbay, Wildstar awakens and gets a status report from IQ-9. He attempts to get up to assume command but...

...he’s gonna be down for a while. However, Wildstar is stubborn and tries to get up anyway...and face-plants on the deck, so back to bed he’s carried. Knox comes in to give Wildstar a hard time, so Dr. Same puts him to work keeping Wildstar in bed.

On Earth, news of the Earth Defense armada’s defeat (with the Star Force presumed destroyed as well) has been announced, causing a panic among the populous. The Comet Empire sends a squadron of cruisers with a message to Earth, demanding their unconditional surrender.

Earth Defense tells the squadron what it can do with Prince Zordar’s message, firing up their orbital defenses. However...

...the Comet Empire just wiped out an armada. You think a bunch of overblown SDI satellites would bother them? The squadron enters Earth airspace (something the Gamilons were unable to accomplish during their war with Earth) and repeat their demand of surrender before leaving. The President of Earth suggests trying to buy time to negotiate with Zordar.

Zordar is amused at the idea of a treaty with Earth. He is so amused...

...he destroys the moon! Commander Koenig would’ve been pissed! The President then issues the planet’s surrender.

Meanwhile on Ganymede, repairs are completed on the Argo. Venture comes to Sickbay to tell Wildstar the news of Earth’s surrender. Wildstar then attempts to get up again, this time with Knox’s help. Wildstar is determined to stop the Comet Empire before the surrender is finalized. He calls the crew together for a rousing speech. He’s no Captain Avatar, but he manages to fire up the crew for one last desperate offensive against the Comet Empire.

As the Argo takes off and prepares a space warp back to Earth, Wildstar orders radio silence to maintain the element of surprise when they arrive.

Meanwhile, Prince Zordar looks with satisfaction at the latest addition to the Comet Empire as his fortress descends to Earth.

The Argo prepares to space warp within striking distance to the Comet Empire, but upon arrival, they discover the Comet Empire has advances toward Earth and is out of range (you’d think they would’ve compensated for that when they planned the space warp) Venture prepares an intercept course, but...

Desslok (remember him?) uses his S.M.I.T.E. device to warp a squadron of fighter planes around the Argo. He then appears on the main viewer, declaring his intent to destroy the Star Force while Zordar conquers Earth.

Then the Gamilons attack! The landing bay is damaged enough that the Black Tigers have to manually open the landing bay so they can launch (glad Wildstar lets Conroy do something himself) However, Desslok orders his planes to target the landing bay, rendering it unusable. With the Argo severely crippled, Desslok orders his fleet to close for the kill.

However, Wildstar refuses to go down without a fight, as he orders Venture to point the Argo at Desslok’s command ship and ready the Wave Motion Gun. However...

...Desslok uses the S.M.I.T.E. to warp space mines directly in front of the muzzle of the Wave Motion Gun, which would destroy the Argo if the Gun was fired! With the Argo’s most powerful weapon neutralized, Desslok resumes his assault.

With the Argo being torn apart under the Gamilons’ barrage, Wildstar orders a desperation play: a short distance space warp alongside Desslok’s ship so they can board.

Wildstar and Knox lead two groups of troops onto Desslok’s flagship in a reversal of the final battle of the Gamilon War. Let’s hope the reversal doesn’t continue to the end of the battle. On the flagship, Talan leads the defense of the ship.

Meanwhile, Nova prepares to join Wildstar (I’m assuming against orders, as Dr. Sane tries to pull her back) Suddenly, Gamilon fire strikes the deck of the Argo. Venture gets Dr. Sane out of the line of fire, but...

...he gets caught in the blast and is blown from the ship!

On the flagship, Knox and the Space Marines do what they do best on the hull of the ship, keeping Talan and his troops busy while Wildstar and his troops slip in through the hole caused by the collision. However, a piece of hull collapses, separating Wildstar from the rest of his squad, though I’m not sure he notices.

Scratch that, he noticed. What’s more, he’s seriously banged up as the collapse barely missed crushing him.

Talan reports there’s a fire in the engine room, and suggests a temporary withdraw from the ship until it can be contained. Meanwhile, Wildstar staggers his way to the command ship’s bridge until...

[I would like to note that the last time Wildstar and Desslok met in person, it was stated that Gamilons couldn’t breathe in an Earth-like air mix. However, Wildstar seems to be breathing Gamilon-like air just fine.

Meanwhile on Earth...

...the Comet Empire has landed on Earth, ready to accept the planet’s surrender.

Back on Desslok’s ship, Nova has boarded and is searching for Wildstar. You’d think all she would have to do is follow the trail of blood Wildstar’s leaving behind.

On Desslok’s bridge, Wildstar attempts to reason with Desslok, saying the Gamilon War is over. However, Desslok counters that the war isn’t over until he says it is. With that, Desslok draws his pistol, ordering Wildstar to shoot him or be shot. However...

Wildstar succumbs to his injuries. Certainly not the first to die of bravado. However, Nova emerges onto the bridge and...

...shields him with her body. When Desslok is too shocked first by Wildstar’s collapse and Nova’s selflessness to fire, she grabs Wildstar’s gun and points it at Desslok.

This somehow snaps Desslok back to reality and for whatever reason, he realizes what the Star Force has been fighting for and that the war needs to end (I would call this deus ex heartstrings) With that, he orders the withdraw of Gamilon forces and reiterates to the Star Force to attack the Comet Empire below the equator at their weakest point.

Later, Wildstar is once again under Dr. Sane’s care as he’s patched up, then Dr. Sane leaves so Wildstar and Nova could have a Moment. Once Wildstar has recovered enough to be mobile, he returns to the bridge and is informed about Venture.

(an empty chair can speak volumes with the right mood music)

Homer then announces that Earth is preparing to sign the surrender, which snaps Wildstar back to reality. He calls for all senior staff for a briefing.

At the meeting, Sandor reports the Wave Motion Gun is too badly damaged to be a factor in the coming battle. Dash chimes in with more good news, as the main gun turrets are out of commission as well. All they have are torpedoes. Then Nova repeats what Desslok and Captain Gideon advised them: attack from underneath. Wildstar orders Conroy and hardy to get the Comet Empire’s attention up top while the Argo attacks from underwater (I notice Wildstar isn’t leading the Black Tigers when it’s a suicide mission...) Wildstar tells IQ-9 to take the Navigator’s position (you know, Eager is assistant Navigator. Shouldn’t he pilot the ship with Venture out of action?)

Meanwhile, Venture’s body is still drifting in space when...

...a Trelaina-shaped glow appears and envelops him, teleporting him away to Trelaina’s chambers (OK, I wanna know how she pulled ANY of this off, since she blew up Telezart with her on it!) Somehow, the power of Trelaina’s love for Venture bring him back to life (Really? I mean, I know she’s supposed to be this all-powerful being, but this is some next-level shit!)

On Earth, the Argo enters the atmosphere (how has no one detected them yet?) as the delegation from Earth’s government heads toward the Comet Empire. As the Argo prepares to enter the ocean, the Black Tigers launch. They then radio the delegation to clear out before the fireworks start.

Fortunately for them, someone listened as the Black Tigers begin their diversion (I wonder if Conroy and Hardy told the rest of the Black Tigers they were sacrificial lambs in this operation) The Black Tigers make several strikes on the upper city as the Argo’s torpedoes hit the lower portion. Zordar orders the Comet Empire to take off and raise their shield.

The shield takes out a number of planes, forcing the Black Tigers to fall back as the Comet Empire leaves the ocean. Wildstar orders the Argo to pursue. With repairs to the main guns complete (that was fast...) the Argo prepares to open fire on the underside of the Comet Empire.

Then the Comet Empire launches their own planes to counter-attack, as well as open fire with their secondary cannons...

Aw man...they just finished repairing those! Wildstar orders the Argo to get under the Comet Empire where the secondary guns can’t reach, but there are turrets under there as well. Sandor is looking for the “weak spot” Desslok mentioned, then he spots it.

The main hangar hatch. Sandor figures if they can blow it open, they can attack from within. Knox volunteers the Space Marines, and Sandor also volunteers to help find the Comet Empire’s main reactor so they can blow it up (and you know Wildstar will be leading the attack rather than doing the commanding officer’s job and coordinate everything)

Dash manages to blow the hatch open and the second wave of Black Tigers (so Wildstar is taking away Hardy’s job this time? At least Conroy gets to lead his wave) enters the hatch. Upon landing, the firefight begins as the Star Force fight their way to the reactor

In the control center, Invidia decides to not alert her father about the danger the Star Force presents, however small (did she learn nothing from her mishandling of Desslok?) In fact, she’s so sure of victory she doesn’t bother sealing off the reactor (nope, she didn’t)

As Wildstar, Sandor, and the Space marines make their way toward the reactor, they are suddenly pinned down. Wildstar spots a waste disposal system that has a conveyor (why would that not be shut down in a crisis? Oh right...Invidia is downplaying it)

Knox quips “The enemy is gonna smell us coming!” Eventually the trio reach the reactor, but trip the automated defenses.

Sandor gets his leg shot off! Fortunately his limbs are bionic so he’s not hurt, but he’s not walking any time soon (wonder if he still packs explosives in his limbs), so he offers to cover Wildstar and Knox so they can blow the reactor (guess not)

At the control room Invidia is shocked to hear Wildstar and Knox have reached the reactor, but still refuses to alert her father (oh, she’s gonna be grounded for a century when Zordar finds out) Then Zordar show up, demanding to know what’s going on (Busted...)

Inside the reactor, Knox and Wildstar are pinned down. Knox offers to plant the explosives, telling Wildstar to get everyone clear, and that he’ll take one of the planes back to the Argo when he’s done (Sure you will. You think I don’t know a noble sacrifice when I see one?) Wildstar grabs Sandor on the way out and orders his forces to withdraw.

...leaving one hell of a body count behind. Knox triggers the explosives (according to Dash, Knox got out...but I’m guessing we won’t see him again for the rest of the series; I’m fairly certain the Yamato version of the story had him dying heroically)

With the reactor gone, Zordar strolls to his escape ship, and is generous enough to allow Invidia and Dyer to accompany him (I’m guessing they’ll wish he left them behind by the time he’s done with them) Meanwhile, the Argo fires everything they have left at the powerless Comet Empire.

This should be the end, but we’re only on episode 25 of a 26 episode series, so...

...a massive dreadnought emerges from the rubble of the Comet Empire (now why didn’t they start with that?) and immediately opens fire on the Argo...

...crippling the ship! (How did they miss Bridge #3?)

After disabling the Argo and taking time to gloat to the survivors about the power of the Comet Empire, Zordar turns his attention to Earth and enables the ship’s main gun.

(ya think he might be compensating for something?)

The main gun is powerful enough to flatten mountains, raze cities, and reduce islands to rubble...and he Just Keeps Firing!

Meanwhile beyond the wreckage of the moon, a familiar-looking residence pod (containing one (1) Trelaina and one (1) Mark Venture (slightly damaged)) floats toward Earth. Inside, Trelaina is giving a “life force” transfusion to Venture. This is enough to bring Venture back from the dead. With the immediate danger to Venture passed, Trelaina realizes what’s going on outside her pod.

On the Argo, IQ-9 reports the ship is is critical condition and recommends all wounded be evacuated. Wildstar orders ALL crew to abandon ship. As Wildstar helps an injured Sandor to the shuttles, Sandor reminds Wildstar that Desslok said he was the spirit of Gamilon, no matter what happened...and that as long as the Star Force survives, Earth will live on.

As the final evac shuttle leaves the ship...

Wildstar leaps from the shuttle back to the Argo (Captain going down and all that romantic BS) and returns to the remains of the bridge. Once there, he makes preparations to send the Argo on her final mission...straight at Zordar’s dreadnought.

What, you didn’t think Nova knew what he was up to? Love conquers all and all that romantic BS.

(...excuse me, I have a bit of romantic BS in my eye)

Wildstar vows that when this is over (and they escape in a Cosmo Fighter) they would get married. Weird time for a proposal, but what the hell...

But enough mushy stuff, on to the heroic sacrifice!

...and then Trelaina shows up, informing Wildstar and Nova that Venture is alive, but will need medical attention. Wildstar asks Trelaina to bring Venture to Earth since he’s a little busy at the moment, but Trelaina insists on leaving Venture on the Argo.

She then declares she will step in to stop Zordar. Wildstar pleads with her to not break her vow, even for Earth. However...

...she insists. Zordar’s dreadnought is disintegrated and Earth is saved and the Argo limps home.

okay you have the full set of the dxf passione figures, right? this is an odd question but i'm at my wits ends bc i cant find any answers and ive wanted to get this set so bad dnladhjshs do u have any idea how to tell if they are bootleg or not? if not it's nooo biggie, thank you anyways!!

from what i've seen everyone but narancia and bruno normally have all the logos on the front of the box, but that illustration on the back is always different and i have no clue what's legit or not

Hello! I acquired an unhealthy amount of knowledge about this particular line in my hunt for it, and yet I'm still missing part of the story because I can't read Japanese, alas. Anyway. There's a great unboxing video on YouTube of this whole line that gives you a look at all the details, right down to the packaging - which I was also cautious about. I'll drop the link in a reply cos I don't trust tumbles to save this post if I pop over to chrome.

But! You're right! Bucci and Narancia and Abbacchio's boxes look a little different than the other three. They were released as crane prizes in 2012, and the boxes have JoJo 25th Anniversary branding on them accordingly. They were probably released as part of that celebration/promotion - I haven't figured out definitively.

The rest of the gang had release dates throughout 2013. The fonting on the top/bottom is a little different; on the first 3, it has their name and "Passione" in gold outlined in black; the rest just have "Passione" in idk what you call it like gold ombré. In fact the 2012 ones have the full char names in English 3 places to my glance, the rest don't have them at all. That's consistent with the whole line, black and color versions.

The lineup on the back of each box changes with the release of the figure. Narancia was Vol. 2, so on the back of his box is listed the release dates of the rest of the line. By the time Vol. 5 Mista came out, there were figures to replace the Araki sketches in the photo, and only Giorno's release date left. Here's Bucciarati and Mista for comparison, and also to subtly push my brumis agenda:

(I want to point out that they stay separating this gang in this one certain way that I won't say for spoiler sake but I'm big fucking mad about it.)

That's all I can really say at the moment about verifying whether the boys in your search are legit, except to say I think (I don't know this for sure, I'm not as deep in merch world as I could be lol) counterfeiters target products that are popular enough to make a buck off. So SAS, gashapons, tomonui plushes, Nendoroids, anything Hot Topic ever distributed, etc. Anything you can determine a high demand for, whether it be by aftermarket sales trends (i.e. the gacha prizes) or pre-sale orders. A lot of these more obscure lines, I don't think counterfeiters bothered to bootleg. Otherwise you'd see a) more for sale and b) a wider fluctuation in pricing to undercut legit merch and trick buyers into thinking they're getting a deal. But it's always good to do your due diligence, and I'm happy to help however I can. I've gotten bootlegged a couple times, sometimes with remedy, sometimes without, so I get it 🖤

#i went harder on this than I expected lmfao but you caught me in a merch moment #abbacchio is so fckn TALL #i mean the rest do no favors to themselves with their terrible posture #but he towers over them. it's a beautiful thing.#i'm like...80% done with my case #had a burst of energy this morning #tag rambles #dxf passione #jojo merch #anime merch #golden wind #vento aureo #answered ask #spam my askbox
