Attention to DailyJojo blogs, BadlyDrawnJojo blogs, JojoAsk blogs, and anyone else with a similar blog!
Hi everyone, this is DailyRohan! This seems like a silly post to make, but in all honesty, I think it’s a question that should be addressed, considering how often I’ve wondered about it and how often I’ve seen it be asked: Can daily jjbas and badly drawn jjbas (along with any other similar jjba character(s) specific drawing blogs) interact? Again, this seems silly, but with how often I’ve seen it, it seems like a valid question.
With dailyjjba being fairly recent in starting up (we don’t even really have a conglomerated tag or anything like that- maybe dailyjjba, but I know not all of us use it (myself included)) along with the fact that a lot of us started doing a daily jjba blog in order to just draw a character, and not necessarily for interaction, it’s kind of hard to amass a tag when that wasn’t the blog’s intention.
I started my dailyrohan blog just because I was drawing pictures of Rohan, daily, but didn’t really know where the blog would go or what kind of blog I wanted it to become. I’ve decided, after collaborating with friends and acquaintances, I’d really REALLY love to interact with more daily blogs- as well as badly drawn blogs, and any other jjba character(s) related blogs. And, from my friends and other blogs that I’ve seen in the community, it seems like a lot of other people feel the same way, too. I honestly considered making a badly drawn rohan account in order to do this- but it just seems so silly. I’ll be posting to this blog anyway, I’ve already kind of got a Rohan character going on here, so there doesn’t seem like a point to change over, and there especially doesn’t seem like there should be a problem interacting with other jjba drawn blogs - and I’m not sure that there ever was.
While I don’t think interacting together was ever taboo, I think it was never addressed, so people from both sides of the community were a bit uneasy in participating with each other out of the blue. So, in order to help bridge the gap a bit, I’m going to start hosting events that are specifically open to any jjba drawing blog. This can be badlydrawn, daily, an ask blog, anything.
NOW, I think that it would be a little unfair to just spring this kind of thing on everyone and expect the entire community to jump on board. I know that there may be certain people’s characters who you want to interact with- and that’s perfectly fine. What I think we should do, in order to provide context, is mention that ‘this event is only open to dailyblogs’ or ‘this is a badlydrawn only event’ or even ‘this is a private event’, and for widespread events, just mention 'this is a jjbadrawn event’. This way we’re able to distinguish when it would be fine to jump in and when it would be better to stay back. I think the community should be fun and you should be able to do things with only friends or specific characters if you want to- but for me, I would like to interact with any type of jojo rp drawing blog, and I would hate to see potential collaborations- and frankly, friendships- chances die out because we insist on sticking to our own groups, when, at the end of the day, we are extremely huge nerds who all like to have fun.
So, tonight I’m going to be hosting the first jjbadrawn community event along with @dailyreimi!! We’re excited, and it’s a bit of a competition rather than an event, but I’ve been talking a few ideas over with some of my friends for what we could all do together as a group once this post (hopefully) spreads around- - and obviously, if you have ideas, feel free to start your own events as well!
I suggest the tag for drawn-community wide events should be ‘jjbadrawn event’ so that everyone in the community knows that it’s open to everyone and not just exclusive to one group, and maybe put it on the post as well that it’s a jjba drawn event.
If you have any suggestions or comments feel free to message me!!
TLDR: I suggest everyone who wants to interact with anyone in the badlydrawn/daily/ask community to start using the tag 'jjbadrawn event’ so we don’t feel like we’re intruding on each other’s ‘territories’ and are open to drawing with whoever!
