I will be ATTEMPTING 3weeksfordreamwidth (keyword ATTEMPT). Lately, I've been fulfilling prompts on threesentenceficathon (and will go back to doing that once the spam prevention capcha gets fixed). I'm gonna be posting 3 of my fills a day, largely revolving around a specific theme. Haruhi willing I will stick to it this time.

Today's theme is DioPucci, one of my most dearly beloved Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ships! Hope you enjoy!

1: "it's not my blood"

Pucci nearly has a heart attack when he walks into the doors of Dio’s mansion and sees the man (or rather, vampire) himself utterly covered in blood, from his golden curls to his equally golden boots.

Before he can even consciously make the decision, he’s rushing over to Dio’s side. “Are you alright?” He’s always been praised for his stoicism, his ability to be the unbending tree in a hurricane, but his voice wavers as he tries to locate any of Dio’s injuries.

“Enrico, what are you doing?” Dio seems genuinely confused, not in pain, but still Pucci can’t stop his heart from racing. “I didn’t take you for an exhibitionist.”

That gets Pucci to stop in his tracks. “What?”

Dio just smiles his typical enigmatic grin, shifting a little on his couch. It’s at this point that Pucci notices a lack of tears in his clothing or gashes in his skin. “Were you lonely, all alone in America, with only your hand for company? You simply couldn’t help yourself from jumping right on me, couldn’t yo-“

Pucci sighs. “I was trying to see if you were injured, Dio. You’re covered in blood.”

“Do you have such little faith in me?” Dio looks at Pucci, his eyes possessed of a distinctly feral glint. “Do you think it’s possible that anyone could spill a drop of my blood without my say-so? It’s not my blood.”

Oh. “Forgive me. I was simply worried.” For a moment, the idea of losing Dio had made itself known to Pucci, and it unsettled him.

Dio seemed somewhat taken aback at those words, but he quickly regained his composure. “I could never stay mad at you for long.”

As if you could get mad at me at all. Though he would never test that theory, Pucci had acquired the distinct impression that he could burn down Dio’s mansion and receive only minor reprobation. “Would you like my help getting into cleaner clothes?”

Dio smiled in response, showing off a flash of fang. “Do you think I’d ever say no to that?”

I found this 2024 Year In Review, and I thought it looked fun, so I decided to do it.

1: How many fics have you worked on since January?

Oh god. *opens up Google Docs* 33 unfinished works plus 43 individual fics posted to Ao3... 75?!?!?!?!?!

...I worked on 75 fics since January 2024. Oh god. Caveat that I'm dyscalculic and thus could be fucking up the number, but...

Holy shit, me. Holy shit. Good job. Now time to finish up those 33 works.

2: What's something new you tried in a fic this year?

Yuri! I wrote 2 F/F fics this year, and more if we're counting genderbends of canonically male characters. I greatly enjoyed the experience and am probably going to be doing it again. Thanks, HSR. Now give Jingliu some story relevance.

3: What piece of media inspired you the most? (This can be the fandom you wrote the most for, the one that spawned the most ideas, the one you thought about the most, etc.)

*looks at Ao3 stats* Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Somehow went from "thing I like but not super intensely" to "thing that consumes every waking hour of my mind" last year and the fic train kept on rolling. Never underestimate the power of having friends to reinforce your obsession.

A hard thing for me as a person who A: writes fanfiction B: does not believe in the concept of inherently evil people and C: is a stickler for keeping their characterization as close to canon as possible, is that a lot of authors do believe in the concept of inherently evil people.

(this is about dio brando right now, but it's also about muzan kibutsuji. and douma. fuck i disagree with gotouge's approach to morality in fiction.)

This is a list of recs of JJBA fanfics that I, Dreamwidth user M Stardustrifle, enjoyed. I will be discussing elements of the fics that I enjoyed as well as elements that I didn't, so that readers can go into these fics fully informed.

Onwards with the recs, which are in no particular order except for the unfinished stuff, which is in its own section at the bottom!

Il Bacio Della Morte: Post-canon Everyone Lives GioMis (with some minor background BruAbba). Mista has just returned from an assignment (that he fucked up), and Giorno kisses him, which OBVIOUSLY (/s) means that he has been administered the Kiss of Death and that he's going to be executed. Surprisingly fluffy for something where the POV character spends 80% of the fic convinced he's going to die. One-shot.

Grow-A-Willie: Post-canon Everyone Lives And Is Trans with background BruAbba and FuGioNaraMis. Giorno grows the members of the Bucci Gang dicks. Extremely, extremely funny. One-shot.

my most female-coded trait is obviously the reading of copious amounts of yaoi fanfiction, while my most male-coded trait is that when that yaoi fanfiction depicts the character’s powers in a manner inconsistent with canon i ragequit the fic

mildly complainy post about how a lot of people write diadop

Incredibly fascinating that I've noticed that there's a very distinct shift in the Ao3 tags of the trans!Abbachio fics going from being primarily transfem!Abba to being primarily transmasc/nonbinary!Abba and I am wildly curious about why this is.

now listen, i'm not saying that wattpad is bad, but what i am saying is that during the period where i was actively scouring the internet for any hide/yoshiki fic i could get my hands on, the ones on wattpad were less coherently written then the ones i had to google translate from norwegian.

I decided this when i was a preteen reading Death Note yaoi on FFN and i still stand by it now- there is absolutely no reason to have a sex scene that goes on for more than one chapter. If you’re thinking that you’re the exception to that rule- no, you are not, in a decade of reading Internet porn, i have never seen a sex scene that was good and went on for more than a chapter. Even when the sex scene started out good, by the end, i was universally just mentally begging for them to be over.

Because here’s the thing. Once you say “why not, we can make this sex scene two chapters long”, that just makes it easier for you to go “okay, but why not THREE chapters” or “why not FOUR chapters” and then that’s the slippery slope to making seven straight chapters of L and Light banging while babby M is sitting at the family computer skimming them trying to figure out if anything plot-relevant happens! You are not special! I don’t know of any sex scene that legitimately NEEDS to be seven fucking chapters long and at that point you’re just fucking padding!

This author’s been reading some late-FFN-to-early-Ao3 fics, and while yes, the “get the female love interest out of the way by killing her or making her into a terrible person” was totally A Thing, I think we’re missing out on some of the alternatives that other authors used.

> Pair her up with a male character in canon (any male character, though preferably a non-bishie)
> Pair her up with the other Token Girl (happens more times than you’d expect)
> Actually, she’s completely FINE with the relationship because…
> She’s a good ally (Awww!)
> She’s a fujoshi who’s Totally Into It.

Any other fun ones?
