oshiri’s been quiet lately. as in, he hasn’t been throwing rocks at me constantly. i wonder what’s up with him. i might go check it out.

[jiovii-blog]

haha, wow. just texted him. long story short his dad's having issues with his car again and oshiri had no choice to get over and help. seriously, bawaba is pretty useless for a god.

((character run-down so far))

((here we goooo)) ((characters for arc zero, +gigabyte explanation))

this is jiovii. he doesn’t have arms; the sleeves on his sweater are empty. he’s the one who writes the blog. don’t ask how, though. it just happens. he owns a special computer called the inter-gigabytal laptop which was created by a really stupid god called ‘bawaba’, who wanted to redeem himself by making something cool. as a result, though, it also created the faulty 36th Gigabyte, which will have more importance in the upcoming arcs. the inter-gigabytal laptop is one-of-a-kind and very powerful; it is also the only known way to access the internet across all 36 gigabytes. he’s also trying to remember something, but he’s not sure what. interests: memes, anime, the 18th Gigabyte, random inapplicable philosophy, rain, seafood ramen dislikes: having rocks thrown at him, reptilians, talking about his arms (or lack thereof), oshiri’s red rubber gloves age: 19 love interest: ??? gender: male not fond of: oshiri, bawaba

this is oshiri. he’s constantly pissed and very tsundere. he wants the d oshiri’s inter-gigabytal laptop. he’s a messenger of the gods, and bawaba’s son (though he can wholeheartedly agree that his father is a git). he likes throwing rocks at jiovii and his neighbors; it has become a regular occurrence. he wears the tacky red rubber gloves to hide burn scars from when he visited the 36th Gigabyte in search of throwing-rocks and instead got a double-fistful of an energy soul (more about that in upcoming arcs, as well) who had for some reason chosen to take the eternal form of a stone. yes, he is wearing a nightshirt. also, he lives in the 1st Gigabyte with the Gods, and has the ability to teleport from there across all of the other Gigabytes at will, even if they are not connected. interests: books, money, floating, rock-throwing, the inter-gigabytal laptop, pajamas dislikes: jiovii, formal clothing, shoes, rain age: 18 love interest: jiovii gender: male not fond of: bawaba i still need to pull up a design for bawaba, so we’ll have that for you when it comes. we’ve also got a quick explanation of gigabytes.

what the actual fuck is a gigabyte well there's really no good translation from flib to english to tell you what a gigabyte really is. it's somewhere in-between a planet and a universe, kind of like a very small universe with just one planet, though in some gigabytes, such as the 18th, there are multiple planets because oshiri got bored once and slammed rocks into the first planet, so then the debris went everywhere and created new ones. the planets are usually very small in normal gigabytes, and all of them except for the 18th exist under a layer of space-time. in a way, you could say that the 1st gigabyte is a bit like the religious afterlife, because it's inaccessable unless you're dead or haven't been born yet. oshiri isn't actually the god of that place, but he likes to tell people he is. so basically, a gigabyte is a small universe existing singularly within its own dimension under a layer of space-time. we can travel between them with ease because there are vaccum-like tubes between them that allow you to enter into the neighboring gigabyte. when referring to the gigabytes excluding the 1st and 18th, we say ‘United Gigabytes’. when referring to all of them, we say ‘the Multiverse’. [6:54:07 PM] Vin: all of the gigabytes exist nestled between two layers of space-time [6:54:24 PM] Vin: and all of them are connected with things kinda like wormholes [6:54:32 PM] Vin: all of them except for two [6:54:35 PM] Vin: the 1st and the 18th [6:54:49 PM] Vin: the 1st one is not connected because it is literally an afterlife; that's where god lives m8. and you can’t get to the 18th because that’s earth, or rather, the universe earth exists in, and that’s above the sandwich of space-time in which the rest of the gigabytes live. hope this helped!

((with the end of arc zero, i’d like to finally explain what this blog is))

((if you’re following this blog, you’ve most likely scrolled past more than a few times and wondered what the fuck i was talking about. well, i’ll try to explain the best i can.)) ((jiovii.tumblr.com is kind of like a webcomic, but in the form of a tumblr blog. when i make posts, i am doing so in the point of view of one of my main characters, called jiovii. it is story-driven, which is why there is a shortage of posts you might see on a normal blog.)) ((i’m fully aware that this is a weird idea that probably won’t take off but i was tempted to try it anyway. i can’t commit to making and posting consistently with a webcomic, and i thought a more hands-on way to do it and also answer questions about it and interact with a fanbase would be through a tumblr blog.)) ((as you may have noticed, the tag i am using for story crap is ‘gigabyte storyline’. soon after this post goes up a wrap-up post will go up explaining the characters so far as well as releasing their design.)) ((i have a lot of fun doing this, so i hope that you have fun reading it, if you pay any attention.)) ((posts will slowly become more hint-y towards what’s going on, and i’ll also upload some lore. i have a whole world planned out for this, and i’m working on it actively with my cousin, @alplue . if you’re wondering, my main blog is here. ))

((anyway! i should get to work on arc one, and i’ll see you next post.))

why the hell do people on the 18th Gigabyte have different languages in different sections of land? here we all speak a language called flib, but it's really similar to english, a lot's just lost in translation. for example, 'Gigabyte'. they're not actually called that here but there's no better translation into english.

[jiovii-blog]

what the hell is a kik and why do people keep asking me for it? it seems fairly widespread. it must be some new thing from the 18th Gigabyte, it's the only explanation. after all i think i'm the only one outside of the 18th Gigabyte with access to the internet. maybe.

[6:54:07 PM] Vin: all of the gigabytes exist nestled between two layers of space-time [6:54:24 PM] Vin: and all of them are connected with things kinda like wormholes [6:54:32 PM] Vin: all of them except for two [6:54:35 PM] Vin: the 1st and the 18th [6:54:49 PM] Vin: the 1st one is not connected because it is literally an afterlife; that's where god lives m8 [6:55:06 PM] Vin: and you can't get there unless you're dead or haven't been born yet [6:55:20 PM] Vin: the 18th gigabyte, as i said, is earth [6:55:32 PM] Vin: well, technically it's the universe earth exists in [6:55:50 PM] Al: YEYEYYE [6:55:57 PM] Vin: in the 18th gigabyte there was an overpopulation issue [6:56:22 PM] Vin: so they got a group of orphans together to experimentally see if they could get them into the gigabytes [6:56:33 PM] Al: oh jesus nice [6:56:35 PM] Vin: yup [6:56:49 PM] Vin: all of them died, except for jiovii, who got his arms blown off [6:57:44 PM] Vin: he randomly appeared in the 13th gigabyte, and was taken in by oshiri and his family for most of his childhood, though he can't remember it, and oshiri has the biggest crush so he's just an ass to him now in hopes that he'll never remember, or ask, because the truth would hurt him too much

[jiovii-blog]

why do people keep asking for my real name? i'm jiovii. i'm a byte-lord and i live on the 13th Gigabyte.

[jiovii-blog]

apparently we've had another hate-crime occur. a reptillian shot one of the plant people for no reason. i've heard this is an issue over in the 18th Gigabyte as well. jesus, reptillians and humans are seriously scum.

[jiovii-blog]

not feelin it i dunno man it’s kind of like that feeling you get when there’s something your brain wants you to remember, but you can’t and you get a headache so you just need to take a chill, you know what i’m sayin? yeah. yeah, you do. but seriously. i can’t get this out of my head. what the hell am i supposed to remember?

[jiovii-blog]

on the 18th Gigabyte they make something called anime. it's really cool. the only issue is that i can't buy any merch because nobody on my Gigabyte knows what anime is. shit, man. i really have to go to the 18th Gigabyte.

[jiovii-blog]

i recently came across a new part of the 18th Gigabyte's culture whilst messing around on the inter-gigabytal laptop. "memes". it seems like a very intricate culture, one that spans the entire Gigabyte. i'd really like to visit the 18th Gigabyte someday, just to check out the memes.

[jiovii-blog]

people keep asking me why my blog is just rain and rain noises well i've always wanted to see rain in my Gigabyte lord oshiri just throws rocks at us when he gets bored, that's kind of our weather

[jiovii-blog]

i've been wondering, like, what would happen if the inter-gigabytal laptop broke? then i'd just be a handicapped enigma with no arms, i guess. maybe oshiri'd stop bothering me though.

[jiovii-blog]

apparently there's a guy called adolf hitler over in the 18th Gigabyte that killed a ton of people for no reason. huh. adolf hissler is just an old guy who knits sweaters.

[jiovii-blog]

what the hell are oshiri’s gloves anyway?? he never takes them off. they look cheap, too.

[jiovii-blog]

oh shit, just asked him about it, haha, this is what happened rock: hey pick me up oshiri: k oshiri: picks up rock: bitch pls you listened to a rock you dumbass rock: fuk u burn pls oshiri: oW FUCKING DAMMIT MY HAND WHY OW OMFG oshiri: jiovii dID THIS LMAOOOOOO his hands are scarred basically so he doesn’t wanna take them off because poor baby god-messenger doesn’t like people staring at his scar tissue

[jiovii-blog]

i've heard the 16th Gigabyte has a really bad economy because the only job option there is 'rock miner'. i mean, i guess that's really all that exists on that Gigabyte, just tons and tons of rocks. but they could /make/ something out of the rocks. like, cement, or statues? they just kind of... sell rocks, of varying shapes and sizes. i guess it's good for construction workers and artists though.
