FINALLY!!! With the help of an amazing friend on Discord, I was finally able to bring my boy, Lynne Malina, to life *I needed their help cuz I can’t draw to save my life 🥲😅*
This boy originally came from a rp I was in with my boyfriend *now my ex* that I’m half tempted to just overhaul it just to spite…but idk. I’ve been wanting to make an OC for this fandom for a while but just over got around to it, but, he’s here. I have more info on him which I may post down below *probably*.
I haven’t yet gotten PFTW beyond the Picrew stage but hopefully I can get art of them too
Again, MASSIVE thanks and credit to my friend *I'll have to look if they have a Tumblr or not* who went through a lot with me to help create this art of him and put it on paper(?). Thank you 😊
@fashion4standusers
Name: Lynne Malina
Stand Name: 「Pray For The Wicked」
Age: 21
Birthday: June 7
Height: 5’ 3”
Gender: Male *Trans FtM*
Sexuality: Bisexual
About: Not much is known about Lynne’s life before Passione or how he got his Stand, though he has let it slip he got it through... unconventional means through a former partner. Giorno found him after hearing he was causing trouble, and in the memory of his late mentor, he welcomed Lynne into Passione but it was muddled with the intent of using him for his Stand, 「Pray For The Wicked」, to bring the others back. Lynne was also given a star-Moonstone necklace as a bribe/gift from Giorno for joining.
Personality: Narancia mixed with a dose of upbeat nihilism. He can come off as childlike in certain situations, but most of the time he tries to give off a calmer and reserved aura like Giorno. He gets serious quickly; very protective of friends and family with guard dog levels of loyalty. This boy is a trickster; one way he gets better at his Stand Energy abilities is through pranks and jokes he pulls with his Stand *appearing as others and spooking people*. Can be a bit dramatic, learned most of it from his first ex, always puts on a show. Can appear elegant and put together one moment and then completely unhinged the next. Has strokes of upbeat nihilism because come on, he’s starred in the face of death multiple times, he’s definitely got some screws loose. Will play the part of the sophisticated upperclassmen and can because of training, but would rather be the guy raring for a good time.
Habits, Addictions, Traumas: Hand tapping/flapping; deep aversion to dead bodies due to handling of a deceased family member; attachment issues due to abandonment in childhood; anxiety from past trauma; internalized self hatred due to gender dysphoria, slight alcohol problem due to his breakup with Damien...
Stand Abilities: Lynne is a versatile asset in Passione’s ranks. ⸢Pray For The Wicked⸥’s Stand energy manipulation ability can be used in a variety of ways from healing, tiring out an enemy, travel *turning into small wisps*, and even copying other people and Stands. This all hinges on energy levels; healing and wisp travel require little to no energy whereas copying a person requires energy from both Lynne and the person he’s copying. This is why his ultimate ability, ⸢Dying in L.A.⸥, is so exhausting. Lynne’s ⸢Dying in L.A.⸥ ability allows him to bring people back from the dead, but through a very...scarring process; he relives the deceased’s final moments and giving up some of his energy to bring them back. Besides the psychological aspect, it’s physically taxing and draining, so he can’t be bringing people back one after the other. Also, the Stand is visually kind of...disturbing with the image of a shrouded corpse-like Spector with wings.

Some pics of my grad cap I decorated for commencement. Nothing too extra; just some stars and a quote that summarizes my whole 5YEAR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE and the reason I’m still in the semi-appropriate shape of a person to make it across the stage tomorrow.
Okay. So, I know everyone makes fun of Fugo’s anime colors with the green suit, I do too, BUT, hear me out. Could his colors be a nod to the fashion superstition tied to the underuse of green in haute couture?
Let me cook.
So, might not seem like it now, but green has historically been an underused color in haute couture. This is tied to a superstition in the fashion world and in the theater world that the color brings bad luck, but it has real connections to the past.
This comes from incidents in the Victorian Era, where a deadly dye known as Paris Green, was used in many products, including clothing and it killed people either through direct contact or over a period of time. This was due to the arsenic in its composition and it took people a very long time and many deaths to find the cause.
Thinking about now, it makes sense to pair it with a character who kills his enemies with poison…
(Obviously, I don’t know if that was David Production’s intent, but it’s something I noticed while listening to a podcast episode about the Poison Dress legend.)
(Also, I have posted this on the bird site, but I think it’ll do better on here .3.)
Anyone else when they’re listening to a podcast just pause it and imagine themselves and some of their favorite characters talking about the same topic? (ex.: video games, true crime, scary stories, etc.)
(I find myself doing this A LOT while I’m working and then I end up wasting the battery in my earbuds 😅🥲)
