DC Douglas did adlib though and posted a picture of a chicken in response to asking if he said boner though so that's pretty cut and dry

thinking about a let's read purple haze feedback thread

I watched a video talking about JJBA, and it said something that really resonated with me. The narrator said that Jojo’s was such a unique experience that when you look for something like it, all you can find that scratches the itch is more Jojo’s. Unfortunately, I’m almost caught up on Jojolion, which leads me to this question: where can I find the JJBA novels? If I need to buy them, I’m happy to do that. I just...need more

iirc Weather gets his memories back before he leaves the prison. that's what inspires him to leave. I feel like I remember Weather getting his Joestar birthmark and then being able to sense where Pucci is so he's ready to leave and Anasui is like "we gotta wait for Jolyne man!" but he doesn't listen.

e:ah okay, I might be conflating Weather getting his personality back but not knowing everything. He knows that he has a connection to Pucci but there's a scene where he's confused how to use a normal sink because it's not like the prisons

e2: yeah you're right my bad, I totally forgot about the other part of Bohemian Rhapsody, where if you meet a character your like, your soul is taken out and takes on the role of that character in their story, that's why Anasui gets getting his soul ripped and Weather is just "man these characters are annoying"

"This taste...

I always read that scene as "This happens in American prisons," like all of the other stuff that was establishing what Green Dolphin Prison was like. And it absolutely does happen in U.S. prisons, all the time.

Part of me doesn't believe that Jolyne wouldn't know a trans dude when she sees one because it's implied she's kind of into the gay/drag scene, but then, cis people act really loving mystified about what hormone therapy can do, so eh.

I just finished part 7. I see why people like part 7 and Johnny Joestar in particular. Guess I had a couple issues with the ending, though. Mainly every rider who had something at stake for the corpse chase or horse race is dead except Johnny so it turns out the race outcome did not matter. Also everything that happens to Lucy or around Lucy is completely hosed, her arc is stranger and more unpleasant than Weather Report's rainbow snail arc. But when it's the Johnny and Gyro show it is extremely strong.

I can't really compare part 6 and part 7, part 6 is the third sort of exploration into the world created by Stardust Crusaders and a culmination of all that. Part 7 even when stands are involved it does not feel like parts 3 thru 6. Don't think I can put one of 6 or 7 above the other, same with Jolyne and Johnny. Part 6 though stuck its landing for me.

oh, and Dio content: I find Dio interesting as a villain as he's one of the better incarnations of the mystique around The Devil, an enthralling wickedness with power and presence but that began as a man. So part 6 explores that maybe he had ideals and a plan, maybe there was something more going on with him... and then part 7 and its ending is basically a reminder that if Dio had never become a vampire he'd just be a creepy rear end in a top hat. I guess Diego with Scary Monsters might have been on a little bit of a redemption path, having to face down someone stronger and work with others. Funny Valentine's Diego though is an encapsulation of what he really is.

Well, on to past 8, which I've noticed no one puts on the "top jojos" list. Gear up for a very odd sounding story.

I feel like you do a lot of connecting and comparing Steel Ball Run to everything that came before it, which is of course fair because it's called Part 7, which comes after Part 6, but I feel that also ignores that Araki was trying to do more of a clean break. Part 7 was always supposed to be the next chapter in the story of the weird adventures of people named JoJo, but there was a reason that he ended the world with Part 6, largely so he wouldn't have to keep building off of what came before as well as cleanly eliminate all power creep.

What I'm saying is that yeah, Part 7 isn't supposed to feel like Part 3 - 6, Stands aren't actually named as such until like 200 - 300 pages in, Johnny isn't really called JoJo, he's called Joe Kid etc. Diego isn't mean to continue the linage of DIO, but an exploration of when Jonathan and Dio were schoolboy rivals, a much more sympathetic antagonist type. So for the most, Part 7 is something that's supposed to stand more on it's own, it's a tighter, more self-contained story that I think delivers it's character beats and themes really strongly. The breakaway from everything really made Part 7 a lot sleeker is I guess what I'm trying to say, and I really like that. I feel like he was able to make an "original" story while still containing a ton of fun callbacks

Also as for your first point that the race outcome doesn't matter, Johnny has a whole speech to Gyro about how the journey of the race matters way more than the act of getting there. I can't find the pages right now, but it's one of the biggest times that Johnny flips their relationship, acting as a teacher to Gyro instead of the student I feel like it's intentional that as soon as Johnny crossing the finish line, it cuts to him leaving the country. The race itself doesn't matter as much as why people like Johnny and Gyro were there to do it.

That part would connect with me just a little bit more if Gyro lived. This is the first time in a long time I've been this salty about a character I liked dying, I wanted Johnny and Gyro to be able to have more adventures after this :(
