Prosciutto clears his throat as the camera starts rolling.
“Humans, let me get to the point: Our boss wishes to establish a connection with the human realm, and has tasked his underlings to reach out- us included. This means we are opening ourselves to questions about our kind and who we are. We can’t guarantee we’ll answer everything, but to carry out our boss’s orders, we’ll try to answer as much as we’re willing to.”

As Prosciutto ends the video recording, one can faintly hear him mutter,
“Why is he making us of all the teams operate this public messaging site? We’re assassins, for crying out loud, not his diplomats...”
((This blog is done, to put things bluntly. My drive to run this ask blog has finally dried out.
My main reason for this decision is that I’m simply not proud of what I posted here anymore. I don’t think I understood the characters- especially Prosciutto- very well. Perhaps it’s because I just didn’t make enough content to explore their characters in depth, but a lot of them feel very one-note and/or exaggerations in retrospect. Like when I wrote Prosciutto, despite him being the main star, I feel like I just made him “ultra serious man who is tired of everyone’s shit” even though he’s more than that in both canon and my headcanons. And even if I did write them well, it doesn’t feel like my AU added much new stuff to the table, at least in terms of characterization.
I suppose that I could always try again with writing these fellas, but 1. This heavily ask-dependent blog hasn’t gotten any asks since the Kyubey saga, and 2. I simply think elements of this AU work better for an OCverse of mine.
I’m not deleting this blog, and the only thing related to it that is being deleted is the invite link to the server, as I don’t see any point in keeping it up. Despite all this, I’ll still post from time to time so I can showcase character designs and any doodles I do and post lore tidbits I never got to explore. I will also keep asks open, though there won’t be any more character responses.
I’m sorry if this news saddens anyone, but the motivation to continue this blog isn’t there anymore.
Kakyoins back! His classes took a lot out of him but it's summer and he's got a new sketchbook and is ready to say hi.
Hello all! I'm tentatively back, my interest in jjba is back as well as well as some plans for this blog. I may not be doing alot at first, mainly an rp with someone, but there will be some drawings as well when I get time. If y'all wanna say hi or have ideas inbox is open and free -mun Rabbit

"I'm not strong, or talented, or even smart. I can barely hold my own against other demons; there's no way I could take on a witch.
Besides, I already have a job that requires a lot of commitment. I don't think my superior or Fra would appreciate me going off on something that could get in the way of that work."
This is an interactive blog where you the viewers will control the characters’ actions; however I will dictate on which actions will be best suited for the characters
Pesci audibly gasps at the creature before him. "Oh! Hello there little friend...! I didn't think I'd find any other adorable creatures here...!
There's a short pause as he tilts his head to the side a little. "...But what kind of contract are you talking about? Fra did always said I should try to learn as much as I can before I make any decisions..."
((Well, it’s this blog’s 2 year anniversary. Probably not something to really celebrate considering how little content I’ve made, but that’s not why I’m posting about it. I’m talking about it because I want to make this milestone a comeback after all these months of dicking around. I’ve been planning this for quite a while, actually. I can’t remember how long I have, though maybe it’ll come to me later on (I’ve been up for an unnecessarily long time at the time of writing this). And now, the day that I planned would mark my return has come. And with new-ish beginnings come some pretty hefty changes. I of course didn’t get as much as I wanted to done, but it’s better than me holding onto an ask for several months just to give a shitty text response I suppose!
Okay, actually onto the updates:
General Changes
First off, we have completely new profile picture! I made this back in November, so I can safely say I’ve at least been working on this whole reboot since then! But yeah, I think this blog’s been LONG overdue for some new avatar flesh, especially considering...
Prosciutto Got a Redesign!
I’ve been teasing this for a while now, but now you guys get to see it in full, not only in the pinned post, but also... Here!
...I will admit he hasn’t changed as much as I wanted him to, but I’m still happy with how he turned out. I hope you guys are as well!
And for the record, I’m going to try to make new reference sheets like this for everyone else later on. I wanted to before today, but well... You know me (I was also occupied with other drawings).
New Pinned Post
I got a whole-ass new pinned post now! It features some new artwork, my inbox status, the Carrd, and some other things I’ll bring up down below. If you missed something important, you can probably find it in that post.
Carrd Updates
The Carrd’s gotten a pretty heft update since I last edited it! Changes include:
+Pretty much all of the text got rewritten or edited. Some sections were changed more than others.
+The Carrd overall now has a new aesthetic: The white/purple gradient was replaced with an orange/dark red one, a purple border was added, and the header image was changed to the new pfp + its size has been increased.
+Characters pages got a slight aesthetic overhaul too. Symbols corresponding to each character-minus Microorganism Pros- were added besides their names, and their subtitles/epithets were made bigger. The white dividers that went under each name were also removed because today I discovered that Carrds have a limited number of elements you can use if you don’t have their membership. Fun! I managed to free up some space, though they probably won’t be coming back knowing that there will be more elements needed as I introduce more characters.
+Also regarding characters, Illuso has been added to the roster of characters you can ask! With that, he has his own page now where you can gather come lore crumbs tm.
+Removed the tag guide page because I didn’t think it was necessary. Most of the tags have their meaning in parenthesis and/or are self-explantory. I also needed the element space, as discussed above. If people want it, however, I’ll bring the tag guide back, though it won’t be on the Carrd.
Speaking of that conflict regarding the limited elements, I’m considering moving everything over to a website now that I know of this. The Carrd I currently have is really beefy, and it’s only going to get even more stuffed as time goes on. I don’t think I’ll be able to fit everything I want to put on there, which is why I’m looking to find a good website maker, preferably one that doesn’t limit how much content you can put on one. I’ll be taking any suggestions given for the time being.
Discord
I’m working on setting up a Discord for this blog and as a sort of hub for other JJBA ask blogs out there! It’s mostly complete; I just wanna find a bot that can be used for auto-assigning roles first. It’ll put the invite link in the pinned post + make a separate post once I’m ready to open it up.
Scrapped Art/WIP Showcase
Remember when I promised this last year and then never actually did it? Well, it’s finally here! It’s also in the new pinned post in case you can’t find this post. Do keep in mind that it isn’t complete at the time of writing this though; I still gotta find some old sketchbook sketches that I never took pictures of.
More Activity?
I can’t guarantee this since I’m still the same old same old, but I’ll try my best to become more active! Y’all will also have to keep in mind that I got all sorts of other projects on my mind, and as of writing, something personal will be coming up soon for me, and it may affect my motivation depending on the outcome. Again, I’ll try my best to be more responsive, though it may come at the cost of the art’s quality...
Wow, this has been a long post. Well, it’s great to be on here for real and see you all again. And again, thanks for sticking around despite all my tomfoolery; it really means a lot to me. <3
((Finished coloring Pepi last night! I think I got his color palette down now. I kinda liked the green webbing more, though the more I looked at real examples of webbed limbs, it just didn’t make sense for it to be that color. Ah well, at least I got to use that green for his claws and lipstick.
I also got his shading done, though I don’t have a pic of that atm.
((New progress shot! Figuring out a pose for Pesci in this pic was kinda a pain tbh. Think I made 3 different ones before I settled on this? But I got that down now, which means I’m almost done with this in terms of characters featured! Hopefully I can get this done soon so I can work on other assets. though with the background I have in mind, that might not be possible..
Also, did you know that this blog’s 2nd anniversary will be later this month? March 22nd, if I’m remembering correctly! With that in mind, I’m gonna try to get serious with finishing this blog’s new assets, cause I think that’d be a great time to come back. Though as always, don’t expect anything from me at all; these things always end up taking longer than I anticipate.
Did you know that I used to stream on Twitch? Well now you do, and I’m attempting to come back to it after like 3 years. Today’s gonna have me working on art for my ask blog @/ask-demon-prosciutto. No mic, but I will be talking chat if you stop by and feel like chatting.
All I wanna say is that your drawings are ✨amazing ✨ keep up the good work😊
Ps. Sorry this isn't an awkward for the characters I just really wanted to tell ya that😅
((I know it may not always seem like it, but as someone who lacks self esteem and feels like they don't pull their own weight, comments like these mean the world to me. I'm eternally grateful for those who have stuck around in spite of my tomfoolery. Again, thank you anon, and thank you everyone else who's still following this blog.
