I love online nerds' weird obsession with fiction vs reality bc both me and my partner have had ppl call us not gay enough bc one or both of us make f/m and m/m pairings more often than f/f
like. you should be thanking me. no one has gay and het ships as good as lesbians. its a secret sauce. you write men better when you have no irl interest in them and they're just barbie dolls

Idk man I think the misogyny in JJBA goes beyond just the story and author and goes into the fanbase
This fandom often criticizes the treatment of women in JJBA, and let me make this clear: that is incredibly well deserved.
Misogyny is literally intertwined throughout the entirety of JJBA, it's fucking ridiculous. The problem I have is that every so often there is a well written woman. There are instances of women written well who are integrated into the plot in interesting ways, who aren't just a damsel in distress, who have layers, make realistic mistakes, and aren't needlessly assaulted for the sake of establishing sympathy.
My two main (and favorite) examples of this are Lisa Lisa and Hot Pants.
How these two are treated by the fandom is honestly kind of embarrassing.
You took the badass, hypercapable, incredibly strong Lisa Lisa, a woman who had to leave her child behind in the pursuit of avenging her husband, and reduced her to a milf.
You took the resilient, talented, nuanced Hot Pants, a woman who is desperately trying to find forgiveness in faith after she sacrificed her younger brother, and reduced her to nothing more than a girlfriend for Diego.
Misogyny is not just a problem within JJBA's writing, it's a problem within the fanbase itself.

"ATENTION ALL VOLCANO ROCK CITY !! GET READY FOR THE HEAT IN THE OFFICIAL FIRST CONCERT OF THE SALAMANDER ARMY !!"
!! NEW TROLLS OCS !!
I've made some Trolls ocs because I love Rock Trolls and decided to make the most amazing Polycule of Volcano Rock City-
The Salamander Army was a band who's fame exploded in Volcano Rock City before King Thrash even rose as King of Rock.
They had a complicated history of a Roomie Situationship to Aspiring Rock Band to Co-Parents to Husbands (in this exact order).
As must as I love and adore this sillies, they're more than everything a colateral damage of me wanting to create a bf to Floyd, then giving said bf some lesbian mothers and THEN deciding to make parents for one of his mothers and then I went down hill-
Don't ask how my brain works ok, I just gave up the wheel for the autism-
I'll flash them out more, talk about their daugther a lot and THEEEN talk about Floyd's bf because I need to follow steps here <3
But I already have some half baked designs for them so have them too-
The Lesbian Mothers.
Floyd's Future BF.
I started with River, and honestly will change his design A LOT later, but he was the first of the suddenly too long family tree-
And uuuuh that's it <3

If the Catholic Church, with all its rigidity, its cruelty, its abuse, its dysfunction, its authoritarianism, its indifference, and its wretched members is truly not only the highest manifestation of God on earth but the only, the exclusive, with total and final authority over our souls and truth itself
If God really did that to us
then I do not want to have lived

the thing about being one of the last active members of the echo fandom is that eighty percent of the time it’s making weird horny posts about Liz and/or Max for all your mutuals to side eye you and the other twenty percent of the time it’s posting their names in all caps and having a strange ass convo about their traumas in the notes section

I am crumbling I AM CRUMBLING
…I just…
I’ll go for Blade’s lightcone just so I can finally have Kafka, but after Kafka, I’m saving to eventually have E6S5 Blade, I just need at least one of her
But the urge to just go for him fully is so strong
Also holy shit, Dr. Ratio?? For free?? AND THEY MADE IT MATCH HIS LORE/PERSONAL VALUES??? That is genuinely so genius what the hell, he’s quickly becoming a fav
