its pride month, so im projecting onto my fav character
okuyasu is aromantic/arospec he just hasnt realized it yet. him being so bummed about koichi being in a relationship? yea hes just a victim of amatonormativity (not saying thats an exclusively aro experience, just projecting hard here). oku had just convinced himself hard that hes missing out on romance. dont worry, he'll get out of that headspace eventually and realize he doesnt need romance, esp not when he already has josuke. him and josuke are in a qpr ok thank u
hihi I love ur josuyasu art smm I’m glad the josuyasu nation is still alive
dumb suggestion but can you do one of them just sleeping together or something... I’m a sucker for domestic josuyasu 💔 or maybe okuyasu bandaging josuke up since he can’t “heal” him idk
thank uuuu anon :) for the suggestion as well, also yeah idk what compelled me to fall back into my 2020 obsession but im glad im here josuyasu posting in the big year of 2026
my oc aries if they were a highschool student in the year 1999, in a crazy noisy bizzare town
i dont ship them with anyone in canon, i just think itd be fun to put them in situations (i have multiple aus for this oc already)
infodump abt them under the cut :)
Ok, so, Aries is a pre-existing oc of mine and I've always imagined them as a more reserved and shy teenager (compared to them as an adult) so it's fun that I get to draw them as that
Anyway, a little back story for this DiU au for my oc, they migrated (from India) to Japan in middle school because of their father's job and then moved to Morioh specifically (again, because of their father's job) right after they graduated middle school. They struggle with making friends because of the new environment and overall just being a reserved person.
Ari is also an only child (adopted) and their father is single and divorced. They have a really good relationship with him, but their mother is pretty much out of the picture. Also they're out of the closet, though honestly I like to think there's no queerphobia in the Jojo universe because no character has ever pointed out how gnc the other characters look lol (also because I just really like this fantasy ok). They're AFAB nonbinary, and they wear the "girl's uniform" not because they're AFAB but because their gender expression just leans to feminine (though they'll get on T much later in life)
They have no friends (their father doesn't count ok), except their plushies in which they have many and some of them were handsewn, also they're all animals. So yeah, they're pretty lonely. No one in their class really notices them and they don't really notice anyone in class (not even when Josuke is surrounded by his fan girls). They just kinda live in their own world, and don't pay attention much to their surroundings.
They're very invested in their hobby though, that being sewing and collecting plush toys. They did all the modifications on their uniform themself. They carry a handful of their plushies in their bag, and hang their favorites in their belt (I don't care if that's not period accurate, maybe they're just a trend setter lol).
That being said, with their loneliness and their attachments with their inanimate plushies, Ari's stand, Kiss of Life (shout out to Sade) can "breathe life" to their plushies. Though it's kinda temporary, they can and do go back to being inanimate. Their stand is not that durable nor powerful and its range is short, but it is very precise and fast (y'know, precise because needles and fast because it's a bunny). Despite Kiss of Life not being powerful, Ari's love for their fluffy friends is, therefore their plush allies will fight for them no matter what. Which is why I drew the teddy bear with its arm hanging by a thread.
Kiss of Life looks soft and kinda friendly, which reflects Ari's seemingly harmless appearance. But Kiss of Life's needles add a sharp edge (quite literally), and below Ari's reserved exterior lies that sharp edge in a form of their relentless personality that is also reflected in their fluffy allies. Also they're just kinda... off at times, sure they can be sweet and silly when you get to know them, but there was a point where they were completely fine with the idea of murdering their own classmate (that is Josuke, I'm drawing a comic on that). I mean, I made Aries in Baldur's Gate 3 a bit deranged so I'd like to keep a little of that weird unsettling vibes to this Aries as well lol.
I did not think I'd be rambling this much. Also I did not think the comic of them meeting Josuke and Okuyasu would be uh long. I'll post like the first four pages when I'm done with them. I'm having fun. I'm already thinking of a second comic of just them and Okuyasu, uuuuuughhh if only I can clone myself to draw more.
If you read all of this, I'd like to shake your hand in gratitude. Thank you and I appreciate you, have a great day/night.
