I just can't at how Jodio-Dragona relationship is portrayed

Jodio's "big bro" is getting bullied in school, so he, like any normal boy who passed a psychopath exam, locks up and burns an entire school bus.

Dragona is, on one hand, grateful for this care, and on the other, has to start growing her character, because otherwise this little rascal is gonna start murdering.

Jodio might have problems growing empathy himself, but it doesn't mean he won't help others with character growth. What a sweet young man...

It feels weird how I can beat any if these Stand users with just a knife

Well, except Charming Man (he'll dissipate and get into my lungs)

And Ningbo (he'll block my attacks with his stand and explode me)

And Rohan (tho he's the powerhouse)

And Bobby Jean (unless he starts using his bullet-slowing power)

And Doctor Roberts (he's too honourable, I'll get scared and give up)

And Hacca Howler (he'll block my attacks with his stand and shoot me)

And Jodio (he'll flush me with his AA gun rain)

Will Jodio, after getting rich, end up even worse than Howler?

Like, he's literally a psychopath who doesn't care.

Dragona had to grow up over herself so that he doesn't start killing in her martyred name.

When Jodio learns he needs to maintain all that capital, he'll probably start opening brothels for sexual blackmail of whoever he meets, and control drug dealers, and produce cluster munition, and sponsor terrorists, and whatever else he finds cool.

I was hesitant to read it, but it's better than I thought.

It's certainly not some high literature as of yet, it's about a teen psychopath protag getting rich after all.

But characters are more alive, and Jodio's childhood shenanigans made me think of how I'd behaved if I was born in different circumstances (it's stupid to self-diagnose as a psychopath, but this topic is still kinda close to me).

And the plot is quite engaging too, with proper pace of events.

Also I can't at how prosaic it gets. Like "our friend is having pulmonary edema. Maybe he's attacked by an enemy Stand... Or just a junkie with commonspread symptoms?"

Or how Stand power system gets a bit secondary to big money and guns.

Or like when the nastiest challenge they'll see begins with cyber scammers.

The only problem I've seen is trying to remember the stand names, they seem to get too obscure and nonsensical for me.

November Rain: When It Rains It Pours

Smooth Operators: (this one is fine)

The Hustle: Hanatarash

The Matte Kudasai: Baby Metal

Bigmouth Strikes Again: Bioconstructor

Cat size: Necojita

Glory Days: Grazhdanskaya Oborona

Bags' Groove: Gnaw Their Tongues

Lyin' eyes: (this one is fine)

200 balloons: Uranoid

West End Girl: Sewerslvt

Do you agree with such sentiment?

Is aluminium production via electrolysis "left" or "right"?

Neither. It's a technology, derived thanks to science, and having a goal to get aluminium from what we have.

And a science and technology, specialised on societal development, and having further societal development as its goal, would be exactly as "left" or "right" as aluminium production via electrolysis.

What do you think of AI dungeon?

I'm basically on the first letters of writing a scenario for playing in AI dungeon (it'll be finished... Maybe someday).

It's not about Stands or JoJo verse at all (perhaps I'd take some inspiration from Baoh and early JoJo biopunk stuff), but I've decided to "give everyone Stands" as an option in "easy mode" settings.

The main conflict of scenario is man vs. nature, and it's about colonisation of Venus with (optionally) hard sci-fi. How it ends — depends of the player.

  1. Are you against such usage of AI, or you don't mind?
  2. If you don't mind, would you like to share stand ideas you'd like to see (in a few years, when I finish it)? I'll give all the credits, of course.
  3. If you do mind against... Well, I didn't write so much yet, and you were kind, so your opinion matters, and together it means I'll probably have to write it into a regular RPG setting.

Can I create something like a tulpa, so that it completely replaces my original consciousness?

Title. I'm not that much into the topic to try getting one, but I'm curious about such a possibility.

We had The Hand, named after The Band, and here's [The Stand]

All stats: ?

Precision: E

Stand ability: it copies the life energy of a target (person the stand user is the most focused on), and projects it onto the user.

After making them imitate the target's personality in a way they understand and idealise it, The Stand itself copies the powers of the target's stand, or powers it could've had. However, The Stand always stays autonomous, and might have a different opinion on who serves whom.

The user, let's say he's named Mike Check (namesake: a track by Delta-9. Well maybe it's named after something else, but I don't know), is incredibly low in self-evaluation, and always needs someone to idealise, copy and obsess with to give self a meaning.

In addition, The Stand isn't smarter or wiser than Mike (despite trying very hard), so battles (or other stand usage competitions) aren't usually in his favour (although they might make the opponent think about themselves, or about the way they're viewed from outside).

Does the world get worse over time?

If yes, in what metrics?

If not, what's the point of revolutions? Just wait until life for you and everyone you care about gets better.
