Currently fixated with the idea of a Stand changing and developing it's appearance as it's User grows as an individual.
A Stand is the manifestation one's fighting spirit, of their very soul. Throughout life, everyone faces trials, tribulations, some form of hardship that shapes who they are at their most basic levels. And I can't help but imagine that reflected upon someone's Stand.
There's obvious example of Polnareff and Silver Chariot in part 5, reflecting the loss of his legs and hand, but like...
A Stand User thrust into a leadership role they don't want, but ultimately accepting their responsibility, and their Stand manifesting some sort of crown/diadem/forehead crest as some kind of 'ruler' symbolism.
A Stand User who doesn't initially like fighting, but ultimately grows into fighter who only wishes to protect themselves and who is important to them, and their Stand subsequently appearing more muscled or bulky.
A crude, rough and tumble, charge in headfirst type Stand User who grows into a JoJo-standard tactical, poised fighter, and their Stand's feet changing into something resembling dress shoes.
Someone who is changed by their friendship and fights with other Stand Users, with their Stand taking on slight cosmetic similarities to other Stands.
These aren't great/specific examples, but man. Stands growing alongside character development...
Brilliant idea: sandbox tree dryad
Exceedingly tall tree woman who is covered in spikes that secrete venomous and/or poisonous sap, and regularly explodes, launching seeds at speeds up 160 mph
If I was a Stand User, I would dress in the most normal clothes possible and keep any bizarre behaviors/beliefs to myself. No one would ever expect me...
Lately I've been thinking about the vague idea of 'Gurren Lagann but Lagann is some sort of Eldritch Thingy.'
-Rather than just randomly finding it underground, Simon finds it underground- in an unnatural chamber, hewn from black stone, misshapen runs carved deep and seeming to twist and pulse between each blink. The remains of long-dead humans surround an altar, supplicating themselves before this great mechanical face.
-It isn't just turning the core drill that makes Lagann go, no. It needs blood. Human. A sacrifice, to bind the machinery to the pilot, entwining them until time's end. (simon cuts his hand on a sharp panel by accident, which gets blood on the core drill, which then turns like a key)
-Canon Lagann can make drills, which it then uses to combine with other gunmen. Replace drills with tendrils of some unknown material, piercing machinery and curling around vital components, making it a part of Lagann. Assimilation. Collection. From many, one.
...But also the tendrils can formed into drills.
-Lagann's canopy resembles a human brain. Eldritch Lagann is sort of... coral-ish. Tendrils spiraling together to form irregular circular shapes, brain coral but over-sized. In it's own incomprehensible mind, silent to all other things, it thinks unfathomable thoughts...
-Lagann's controls have more tendrils (yay) wrapped around the handles, that unfurl and grasp Simon's hands as he pilots, connecting steel and flesh in ways that are simply unnatural. And once the fight is over, it doesn't want to let go.
-Even when he's not piloting, Lagann 'talks' to Simon. Impressions and images and ideas fill Simon's head, but they're not his. They're forced into his mind like shrapnel into flesh, not his but not able to be dug out. Splashes of spiraling galaxies, endless seas of blood, the corpses of massive horrible beasts still marching towards an unknown, impossible end. The thoughts keep forcing themselves into his head and they won't leave get them out get them out GET THEM OUT- (Simon eventually comes to terms with this, somehow. kiyal: 'yo youre bleeding from all of your face holes' simon: 'haha yeah lagann wants to go exploring')
-The vast scales of the endless universe feature prominently in TTGL.
-Nia probably greeted Simon by saying 'Iä! *incomprehensible cthulhu gibberish*', before speaking perfect... whatever they speak in TTGL. Something something Lordgenome also has an eldritch gunmen, which means all of his children all end up Like That. Still same ol' perfectly nice Nia, as in canon, but she's... off. Shadows flicker at her feet. Her eyes shine colors that man can't see, that aren't visible but still clearly are. She seems like she will disappear with the slightest breeze, a ghostly waif. She speaks the litanies of dead gods, and then is concerned because people's ears are bleeding.
Basically, the Lagann-type gunmen are horrifying. Metal faces driven by some forsaken, unfathomable Want for something that the human brain literally lacks the concepts to comprehend.
Less combining, more assimilating. Less drills, more tendrils. Created by nothing, from nothing, a force willing themselves to be.
Eldritch Lagann isn't malevolent, though. It's thought patterns, it's desires are just... diagonal to human thought. Vaguely understandable if you tilt your thoughts to the side. But for every non-Simon (and Nia) person, this robot is Fucked. Useful, but fucked.
Everyone gets a taste of Eldritch Truth in the second movie.
If Mirio can’t see while using Permeation because light passes through his eyes, how can people see him? Like, sight is a result of light hitting a surface, bouncing off of it into our eyes, and our brains translating that light into what we know as sight.
So if light passes through his eyes, why doesn’t it pass through the rest of him?
Dumb AU idea I had: MHA but Bakugo physically cannot recognize Midoriya when he’s wearing a hat. Any hat. Kind of like Dr Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus.
He’s yelling at him, screaming, then Midoriya puts on a baseball hat and- “…The fuck? Hey, did you see where Deku went?”
Everyone else can tell who it is. Any other sort of disguise Midoriya tries, or anyone else trying the hat thing, it doesn’t work. Bakugo sees through them. And yet for some inexplicable reason, he simply cannot understand that Midoriya didn’t disappear/appear, he just put on/took off a hat. It’s not a Quirk, Bakugo isn’t faceblind or stupid, he just. Does Not Perceive Midoriya.
Dumb Idea 135711: Channeling the Ripple and the Spin through the same object to create a miniature sun. Or at least an efficient vampire-killing tool.
...I think a yo-yo would work well. One of the older ones, made of wood instead of plastic. And a string made from the same stuff as the Ripple-conducting scarves.
Y'know, I haven't seen Megamind in at least 7 years, but I just last night realized he pronounces Metrocity as 'metrocity' because it sounds like 'atrocity', and he's a Super Villain™, who was raised by criminals.
today I was looking at screenshots of chain on my computer and a crumb was on my screen.. anyway at some point it looked like the crumb was a chain beauty mark and my heart skipped a beat #chain
also take a peak at a bookmark design
i need to fix the colours and stuff methinks… the lines r like that for sending to a manu
If you think about it, you can (in theory) have someone with a Stand called Sharknado.
The Offspring (also a good Stand name) is a band.
They have a song called Sharknado, which is a cover of 'Gigantor' by the Dickies.
Which is itself a cover of the theme song for the anime of the same name.
Which is the English dub/localization of the anime Tetsujin 28-go.
