[beyond-crusading]

wholesomecrusading -> -> -> beyond-crusading

So, I originally named this blog "wholesomecrusading" because I wanted to share interesting or touching stories of people who lived in the times of the crusades (Latin or not).

I'm afraid some people might misunderstand this joke, as if I was trying to defend the crusades, or minimize the harm they caused.

So I went with "beyond-crusading". I'm not so sure about it, feel free to suggest other names if you have ideas.

An Everlasting Love

Deep in the heart of Egypt, amidst the scorching desert dunes, two unlikely heroes found themselves taking respite from their arduous journey. Jean Pierre Polnareff, the gallant Frenchman with a heart full of determination, and Muhammad Avdol, the wise and enigmatic fortune teller from Egypt, had been through countless adventures together. But little did they know that this particular pause in their journey would spark a conversation that would change the course of their lives.

As the day turned into a magnificent sunset, casting a warm golden glow over the vast desert, Polnareff and Avdol sat together under a majestic palm tree. Its rustling leaves provided a soothing melody, as if nature itself was lending an ear to their conversation.

Polnareff, feeling unsettled, broke the silence. "Avdol, my friend, I must confess a feeling that has been growing within me since we first met. It is deeper than friendship; it is something unexplainable, yet undeniable."

Avdol, his eyes reflecting the wisdom of the ages, nodded gently. "My dear Polnareff, love is a force more powerful than any Stand. It transcends boundaries and unites hearts that are meant to find solace in one another. Tell me, what is it that burdens your soul?"

Polnareff hesitated for a moment, then found the courage to confess. "Avdol, it is you. When you saved my life from that merciless enemy Stand, I felt a connection, an inexplicable bond. You have become my guiding light in this darkness, my pillar of strength. I have fallen deeply in love with you."

Avdol's face remained serene, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Polnareff, you have always been a kind and passionate soul. Your love is a treasure, and I am honored to be the recipient. But our journey is fraught with peril, and our duty to defeat Dio stands above all else."

Polnareff's eyes filled with determination. "Avdol, I understand the weight of our mission, and I do not wish to burden you. But love is not a hindrance; it is a source of strength. Let us fight alongside each other, driven not only by a shared purpose but also by the power of love."

Avdol grasped Polnareff's hands firmly, his gaze unwavering. "My dear Polnareff, you are right. Love can be a formidable force—one that can give us the strength we need to face any challenge. Let our love become the thread that binds our journeys together, weaving our hearts into an unbreakable bond."

In that moment, as the desert wind whispered their names and the stars above bore witness, Polnareff and Avdol embraced the truth of their love. It was a love that transcended all barriers, a love that defied the boundaries of their own understanding.

Together, they continued their journey, their spirits ignited by a newfound love that burned brighter than any Stand battle. They fought side by side, wielding their Stands with unrivaled power, knowing that their love would guide them towards victory.

Excellent trope: when characters genuinely don't question their actions because there's only one right thing to do in their mind.

And it gets even better in the moment someone else confronts them about why are they like this, and it goes like:

And it's one of my favorite kind of dialogue ever. Nothing better than stubborn justice and love ;;;

Feel free to add to this thread if you have scenes that should be also mentioned, i'd love to see more

concept: kakyoin suggests to jotaro to try and happy flap because maybe it will help him feel happy for once, and jotaro tries it and iggy immediately runs over and nudges jotaro's hands because he thinks it's jotaro waving him over to pet him

#autistic!jotaro #based on true events #i got stimming bullied out of me for yeeears but recently tried to start happy flapping when i feel some spark of something #and my cat always comes over and nudges my hands cuz she's like 'oh? time for pets?' #jotaro kujo #headcanon #noriaki kakyoin #stardust crusaders #jojo's bizarre adventure #jjba #real wholesome hours

Train to Cairo, Egypt 1989

The Crusaders are on the train, with Polnareff admiring the scenery

Polnareff: ...............*He starts singing* All the old paintings on the tomb, they do the sand dance, don't you know. If they move too quick, oh way oh, they're falling down like a domino. All the bazaar men by the Nile, they got the money on a bet. Gold crocodiles- 

Iggy: *Howling "oh way oh"* 

Polnareff: *Stares at Iggy*...... *Continues singing* Theeeey snap their teeth on your cigarette. Foreign types with the hookah pipes say- 

Polnareff and Iggy: (Iggy howling along)Way oh way oh, way oh way oh

Kakyoin: *Does the dance* Walk like an Egyptian...

Polnareff: Pffft...The blonde waitresses take their trays- *Points at Kakyoin*

Kakyoin: They spin around and they cross the floor. They've got the moves

Kakyoin, Iggy, and Polnareff: (Iggy howling along)oh way oh

Polnareff: You drop your drink, then they bring you more. All the school kids so sick of books- *Points at Joseph*

Joseph: They like the punk and the metal band. When the buzzer rings-

Joseph, Kakyoin, Iggy, and Polnareff: (Iggy howling along)oh way oh *Polnareff points at Avdol*

Avdol: They're walking like an Egyptian. All the kids in the marketplace say-

Everyone except Jotaro: (Iggy howling along)Way oh way oh, way oh way oh...*Everyone looks at Jotaro*

Jotaro: *Looks at everyone* ............*Sighs* Walk like an Egyptian.

Everyone: Eyyyyyyyyyyy!

Jotaro: *Tilts hat* Yare yare daze...

- The Crusaders sing along to "Walk like an Egyptian"

Sometimes Lawrence *can* convince Walton to do stupid things like a selfie in which they both do the "heart" with their hands, I guess? Who could say no to that smile? :9 (Also turns out telekinesis is ALSO really good to take all sorts of selfies) This was supposed to be a silly piece without too much effort put in but alas, I accidentally spent more time on it than expected. Also for whoever isn't familiar with the lore here: they're not wholesome. 😬

Although I will admit, Walton *does* have a copy of this photo as well.

I like that the webcomic mostly kept Yoohyun's total nonchalance at Song Taewon strangling Yoojin lol. (Then they kinda...fell down on it with that bit caption, but they tried!)

Song Taewon, by S-Class standards, being the undisputed Responsible One and Lore Expert on "normal" people is my favorite thing. STW did it? Probably all right, then. His hall monitor credit is through the roof.

Which is fair. Yoohyun's response to Yoojin displaying unsettling behavior that concerned him was to threaten to cut off a limb or two to fake his death and lock him up forever. Comparatively, a small, controlled scare and a light demonstration to hammer the point home must seem imminently reasonable and crisply professional. Song Taewon is always right about these things. Yoohyun's probably over here taking notes.

Book!Yoojin nodding along like, "I know right!? He's such a good man. So caring. Shame about the morals. I'll have to see what I can do for him."

#sctir webcomic #book!yoojin is OBSESSED with trying to take care of STW and it's hilarious #at sung hyunjae's birthday party he's monitoring him from the start and at one point decides he will STARVE if yoojin doesn't personally #take matters in his own hands #it's so funny #stw steadfastly resists but somewhere in there they work out a friendship #especially after stw almost maims or 'gets rid' of yoojin but through the power of massive amounts of gaslighting and chicken playing he #decides yoojin is just a lil guy after all #and because it is stw and you will fit into his boxes or he will BREAK you into them now that yoojin has been safely categorized #they can be friends #it's beautiful #stw on the phone with yoojin telling to breathe. stay calm. pet peace if he's nearby. #yoojin's crusade to get stw to take a weekend off #fucking love these two #they are so fucked up but at the core is some sort of wholesomeness it's hilarious #no wonder shj adores them

Last Sentence Tag Game: Write the latest line from your wip (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog.

Tagged by @cheeseandcake-from-ao3

Um- uh- 💀 💦

First of all, tagging @oersteds @AnotherHobbyWriter and @mariogman25

I am… going to intentionally pick the first part of my WIP for BoaF and leave it at that, rather than the latest lines.

“There aren’t… any eggs in this, right?”

The Crusader Enforcer laughs during their lunch. “I told you, priest, I only get tofu katsu sandwiches for you. With the seeded bread you like! So no, no eggs, no meat.” It was kind of adorable just how much of a picky eater this old guy was. Although, the aversion to eating eggs had only come up recently.

Unryu finishes his meal, awkwardly sitting around.

“So, discipline for my brazen actions, huh?” The Enforcer sighs. “What did you have in mind, priest? Lecture time?” As usual, he doesn’t mind listening to Unryu ramble on for a near hour, if that were to be his punishment.

#Unryu and his Crusader bf are having lunch and NOTHING WEIRD is going on :))) #just a cute wholesome date nothing to see here

considering my after story's timeframe is from december 17 to december 31, one of the days i've dedicated to a good chunk of text is christmas because of three birthdays. there is a severe lack of gear/science family content so i'm gonna share now that there's going to be a section dedicated to them

#i'll write axl and el birthday shenanigans too #but for now my focus is dizzy aria and frederick #i've written outline notes on how the scene would play out #and it starts by her asking them about their past like before the crusades #i will deliver wholesome content for these broken people #in text form for now but i'll try to draw it too #someone please ask me about this #i wanna go into more detail by infodumping my idea to somone #i have become what i joke about: a writer that shares ideas but never writes them #nat.docx

Siren Days, the first short story follow up~

Hello, everyone~ I'm back once again~ Everyone may be wondering why I am posting again so soon. Inspiration is the simple answer. The long answer is my inability to focus on anything but my urge to write more of this world I've created. Anyway, I've published the first chapter of Siren Days now! This is the first short story out of a few to be a sequel to A Shimmering Heartbreak before I get to the main sequel. This short story will be a fun adventure story with Apple Bloom and Adagio where the POV switches between the two of them! I am really excited to write more of this and I hope everyone enjoys this! Cheers!

draw Nari and The Lamb doing a wholesome couple activity, because Valentine’s Day.

crusading counts as a wholesome couple activity if you're not a couple technically, right?

OOZEPUNK

WHAT IS OOZEPUNK?

Oozepunk is the term I'm coining for the microgenre of urban heroic sci-fi horror-fantasy that first exploded in the mid-80s with movies, shows, and comics like Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Toxic Avenger, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Hellboy, Street Sharks, and others. Lots of natural crossover with Biopunk and Cyberpunk, aesthetically and philosophically.

Your childhood trauma didn't let you forget Roger Rabbit heavily featured colorful nightmare slime, did it?

A ragtag gang of weirdos (often horribly mutated--more on that soon) band together to save a city that doesn't understand them. Grimy sewers, abandoned buildings and graffiti'd brick walls are lit up by neon lights, streams of mysterious, glowing goo and/or the unearthly lights of futuristic particle weapons--ideally all of the above!

Beyond the "cracked concrete and gutters full of liquid plutonium" aesthetic, Oozepunk prankishly asks "What if catastrophic aberrations of science, particularly DUMPING TOXIC FUCKING WASTE STRAIGHT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT created fucked-up monsters... but they're HEROIC fucked-up monsters!" These catastrophic aberrations of science grant the heroes incredible powers, but COST them their place in human society. (Ghostbusters and Roger Rabbit eschew character mutation in favor of discovering that the undead and olde tymey cartoons are real [and exploitable!], respectively. 'Busters and 'Toon sympathizers alike are treated like insane idiots and/or frauds in their respective universes.)

Oozepunk heroes are challenged not only by strange supernatural beings, but by human society itself. The Ghostbusters battle with local politicians as much as they do the undead. In the recent (and delightful) TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Splinter warns the Turtles of humans and their obsession with "milking" mutants for their blood--on top of the villainous mutants they're trying to thwart!

Crank up the creep factor in Oozepunk and you get awesome anti-establishment goo-horror like 1988's The Blob, The Stuff, Street Trash, and probably a bunch more. Toxic Avenger is a batshit crazy splatter-comedy (i.e. classic Troma)... and still garnered sequels, a kid's cartoon and toyline!

And there's a Shredder's Revenge-style Crusaders beat-em-up coming out next year??

This looks dope as shit

Ghostbusters and TMNT are the only current, "evergreen" (or radioactive green!) Oozepunk franchises I can think of off the top of my head, but Oozepunk elements are buried in almost all of the stories and settings I love the most. Heroic kaiju like King Kong, Godzilla and Gamera paved the way for our freaky friends, but so did comics characters like Fantastic Four's Ben "The Thing" Grimm, The Hulk and Swamp Thing. Hell, I think I blame SESAME STREET of all things for starting me down the Oozepunk path.

Surprise! I've loved screaming trash monsters with secret hearts of gold since I was a fucking baby, and they've ALWAYS been there for me!

But it's not just Oscar, Sesame Street as a whole is a proto-Oozepunk utopia, years before the big Ooze-splosion of the 80s. Muppets, monsters, talking animals and chill humans all live and work together to scrape by with a little dignity in a gritty-but-wholesome urban world!

Sesame Street, a decades-long reminder that educational childrens' programming can and SHOULD be cool as hell looking and loaded with all kinds of friendly mutant freakuloids.

OOZEPUNK! Whaddya think?
