MARMAR CAN I ASK FOR ANSWERS TO ALL THE META SELF SHIP QUESTIONS??? I wanna know it all owo

Oh damn lol, *cracks knuckles* here we go I guess! x’D you’re so sweet Ari

1. how did you discover your f/o’s content?

Well Jojo, in general, I had started watching in April 2019, Vento Aureo in particular I started near the end of August/early September. Over the summer the friends I was watching it with were huge VA fans and kept talking about the gang so I was excited to get to that part for sure lol

2. how old were you when you discovered your f/o’s content?

21!

3. describe the first time you watched/played/read your f/o’s source content.

Well as usual with every part of Jojo, I always think things are really freaking weird when I start it, but it was a quick adjustment lol. I had latched on Bruno originally, then episode 5 came and it was all over lol

4. who was your first favorite character when you initially got into your f/o’s source content? was it your f/o from the very beginning?

Jojo in general, it was Dio, Part 5, Bruno but that’s mainly because like, Abbacchio wasn’t introduced until 5 episodes in and Bruno was so entertaining from his first appearance.

5. if your f/o is from a series, were you into the source content from the start or did you come in later? if you came in later, what was the most recent release when you got into it?

I mean, considering Jojo became a manga 10 years before I was born, to the day (another reason I’m so connected to Phantom Blood, we have the same birthday lol!), I came into the series around 30 years after the source material came out lol. Part 5 I got into just as it was wrapping up and the dub was announced!

6. if your f/o is from a series, which episode/movie/game/book of their source content is your favorite?

Episode 6 probably because we get to see his backstory and Moody Blue’s reveal was really cool! I love the Pompeii episodes too!

7. are there any specific scenes/chapters/moments of your f/o that you find yourself going back to revisit more often than any other?

The Pompeii episodes! I love those so much, they’re great and honestly, it 1000000% solidified my love for him. Moody Blues vs Man in the Mirror is one of my favorite parts of VA! I also enjoy his moments in the Clash and Talking Head arc! Him sipping wine and joining the others to beat the shit out of that guy and getting visibly upset at Narancia with watching him piss lmao “is this some kind of new fetish!?”, all of them are good moments.

8. are there any scenes/chapters/moments your f/o is in that you skip when you revisit their source content?

Not really, mainly because he’s not super prominent in the part, though most consider him a Jobro for some reason, I’ll take everything I can get of him though lol! As it is I wanna get the PS2 VA game just so I can play as him because he’s not in Eyes of Heaven lol!

9. if your f/o has been represented in more than one way (i.e. in a book AND a movie, in a movie and then recasted for a reboot later, etc.), which version of them is your favorite?

He’s relatively the same in all versions from what I can tell. I haven’t read much of Jolyne Flies High With Gucci, and from what I read of Purple Haze Feedback, I feel they skewed his character just a little, so I guess what I know from the anime though I wanna get the VA manga and read that to see what they had changed and stuff lol

10. if you could change one thing about your f/o’s source content, would you? what would you change?

That he didn’t die and got the true redemption arc he deserved <_< I still have my fanfiction though hahaha

11. do your friends/family know that you’re into the content that your f/o comes from or do you keep this interest to yourself?

Oh no, everyone knows I love Jjba and Abbacchio. I’ve gotten countless nicknames too. To them, I’m currently The CEO of Abbacchio lmao. My mom has even been watching Jojo from start to what we have now lol.

12. did you know what self shipping was when you first discovered your f/o’s source content?

Yeah, I knew about that, not by that name exactly, but I was really shy about it because I had bad experiences with self inserts when I was a kid, but I found some sweet and fun self shippers here and I gained the confidence to have some fun and give it a try again uwu

13. do you have a favorite line your f/o has ever said?

Eh, not really surprisingly, though in episode 28 when he’s talking to his old partner after he dies, “You see, people like me are worthless. We never see things to the end. We always mess up somewhere along the way” hit me hard because I kinda relate. Not my favorite, but the line just stands out.

14. what’s your favorite outfit your f/o has ever worn?

Out of the, what? 3 we get? I guess his main outfit is p iconic lol. But I also like his Fly High With Gucci one too. I like his anime color scheme though, his eyes are prettier and I like the purple over the green, but the belt buckle in the manga looks better which is why I fused the two versions for my cosplay

15. do you own any merchandise from your f/o’s source content? what is it?

Haha, yep, I have a keychain and pin I bought at a cosplay event, a bruabba fanzine that came with a print and sticker set, one of the gachapon mini figurine things, my microorganism, the shirt I got off of crunchyroll, and soon I’ll be getting the nendoroid! (thought that won’t be getting to my house until January hahaha ;u;)

First Pre Con Experience

So I went to my first Con event ever this past weekend. I went with one other person, I’ll be honest I don’t really like them, BUT THAT WASNT GONNA STOP ME FROM KNOCKING THIS OFF THE TEENAGE BUCKET LIST! (The list of things I must do before I graduate highschool/turn 20 whichever comes first) So since it was coming up fast and I live close by, I decided to attend Otakon. Only problem I had no job, no money, and essentially no way to get any. So what do I do? I do what any sensible person does. I GO BACK TO BEING A KID AND START A FUCKING LEMONADE STAND ON MY STREET! AND I WASNT FUCKING AROUND! I was up till like 2 AM FUCKING JUICING LEMONS AT LEAST 3 DAYS A WEEK. shit paid off.

I got the money in time for my ticket and I was able to go. Of course at this point I was like, I don’t wanna wait in some eternity long line, I’m already paying at the door haven’t I suffered enough?! So I make the last minute decision to CAMP OUTSIDE THE BUILDING!!! I have never done anything like this before so I’m like fuck. It’s also my first time cosplaying, cause another semi last minute decision. So I decide to be Keith from Voltron. I do this crappy out of closet cosplay that requires me to where like 3 layers of spandex, a sports bra, some black skinny jeans, a belt, a hand me down ammo pouch, and some shitty sneakers I own that don’t go with the outfit or character at all. I also used my real hair for this cosplay but I didn’t fully commit to butchering my hair into some emo fringe. I’ve made that mistake before. {story for another time}

So me and my aunt head off into the night at about 12 am after I’ve prepared my slapped together outfit and cardboard blade of marmora, which was really the least threatening piece of cardboard I’ve ever seen. So we get there a half hour later and just sort of start walking around. I downloaded voltron season 3 on my Netflix in case I got bored. We had snacks, and warm clothes. I felt prepared. I thought we would be the only ones, or there would be an insane line already. In reality everyone was just hanging out at the Marriot, the hotel the con was at, and people were already in costume. I found out Ebola has an anime persona. She’s adorable. The person cosplaying her had some nice calves. It was cool. We also ran into like some super douchey guys and some really cool ones.

At about 3 am we go get pizza from Wise Guys. Listen ya, I’m a New Yorker and f there is one thing I love it’s food, specifically Pizza. Let me tell you at 3 am we are sitting in this window booth. I have a bottle of orange soda, she has a root beer. And we are sharing a flaming hot fresh, meat lovers pizza. There are 2 of us and we bought the entire fucking pie. The whole thing. My aunt is not a very large woman. She is short and skinny. BUT ILL BE DAMNED IF SHE CANT THROW BACK SONE FOOD WHEN SHE WANTS. anyway, we start getting into serious life talks and some funny jokes and stories. Eventually we finish like 2/3 of this pie. We take the rest back to the car.

It’s going on 4 am and I’m like fuck. I gotta go change into this outfit. Instead of going to the bathroom like a normal person. I change in the car. And it’s not like we have tinted windows or anything nope. So I have to get down to my underwear in this car. In the middle of D.C. At what is going on 5 in the morning. Let me tell you IDGAF WHO SAW ME cause I was too busy yelling at my phone because Keith was being an emo baby and wouldn’t accept his destiny. Needless to say I got some attention.

I’m eventually dressed and I grab my bag and head back towards the building. I get back and apparently this guy approached my aunt as soon as I walked away from her. He was apparently super into feet and was also going to the con. He starts telling her this story about how he just wanted to take a girl back to his room, not to have sex with her, no. Just to rub her feet. And then there’s a point where he like starts making up this story that they know eachother cause the girl he was talking about walked by. He ends this whole encounter by saying “WHO CARES ITS OTAKON” when talking about his foot fetish. I really thought she was just going to take me home after that. Luckily she is super understanding and let me stay. I do my makeup with some help, cause fuck did I need it. We hang out for a few more hours and more people start showing up. Including the person I’m going with. She leaves us at around 7 am and we just hang out until the doors open.

Guys I gotta say, when I saw that line I was SO HAPPY I CAMPED OUT. I was exhausted but damn I knew I would've been pissed had I been anywhere that wasn’t the front of that god damn line.
