Would you take the Arrow test?
3 scenariosA: You get a stand and it becomes the sort of stand power that your mind/"souls" deems as absolutely something that can help you bigly, with maybe drawbacks somewhere (Bites the Dust(?) )B: You get a stand and it's entirely random and you have to figure that entire shit out on your own and what you would even use it forC: Die immediately I think I'd try it. Does the arrow have to pierce you in a lethal area to trigger again? I don't remember. Otherwise why not pierce your big leg/thigh muscle which will still hurt like shit but be less lethal.
>>291779676I would just place the arrow next to me, if I'm "strong" enough to have a stand, the arrow would pierce me by itself and there would be no problem. Btw, my stand's name would be a Linkin Park reference.
>>291779676I'd shove it up my ass
>>291779676Fuck yeah, I'll probably get a very obtuse and arcane stand but not having one is worse
no, I would die. and so would everyone in this website, for that matter
>>291779676>Does the arrow have to pierce you in a lethal area to trigger again?Jolyne just got nicked a bit by the arrow's blade and got her stand so no
>>291779676Yes, I would. I'm old, broke, childless and lonely. I wouldn't just kill myself since I still have some dignity but risking my life for a potential reward is fine.
>>291780192and nothing of value would be lost
>>291780192Not me, I'm built different
>>291779802>Does the arrow have to pierce you in a lethal area to trigger again?the arrow kills through a virus
>>291780192Wrong, anons are autistically obsessed with a number of subjects and are really talented at said subjects, that's more stand potential than the average person would have.
>>291779676Hell yeah, my oceanic soul would tank that easily. My stand would be time-manipulating like other cool ones.
>>291779676Probably not willingly.Tho i don’t remember the requirement to survive the stand arrow.Is based on the target’s force of will, on FATE(GRAVITY) or luck?
>>291779676Yes i would.My stand name would be "Dead or Alive" named after my favorite song, Yuki Chiba.Its ability would be to sexually assault MAGA supporters.
>>291779676It seems like the bar for surviving the arrow must actually be pretty low, considering how many random people got stands from it in Part 4 alone. Still, I would weigh things in my favor by going to a hair stylist and telling them I want to shock my theater friends and then dressing myself up in the most colorful, batshit-insane clothing that I can find first. Wear playing cards as earrings, that sort of shit.If I'm dressed like I must be a named character, then either I get a stand or I'll die looking like a real jackass.
>>291779802You only need a scratch. Jolyne got away with a prick on the finger.
>>291780811>>291780841There is no luck or bar to pass. You are either fated to get the stand or not. Koichi pretty much "cheated" surviving the trail be it was still fated to happen.
>>291780192>either you get cool powers or dieYou do realize that's a win/win deal for everybody here right?
>>291780192Good, that way I no longer have to work.
>>291781330I'm getting a new customer service job soon out of necessity and it's freaking me out. I know billions of normal people deal with it every single day but it gives me crippling anxiety. I'm scared, frens. I'd say the worst thing that could happen is just getting fired but realistically I might also get yelled at or berated in some way and that feels worse than death. I just want to be left alone in peace.
>>291780192so you're saying i get powers or my problems are all solved
>>291781045that's called luck
>>291781703Fate = luck in jojo but that also means that luck doesn't actually exist
>>291781743luck can be overcome through pluck
>>291781560this is going to sound silly and fall on deaf ears butdon't be a pussy. just go through with it. you will feel better and you will be better off with it. people go through hardships, and you should too
>>291779676Fuck yes. My stand would be named/themed after Radiohead.
>>291781560You're brave. I'm a NEET and I can't imagine putting myself through that. My advice, don't take your work too seriously, don't burn out, I don't have experience but I had experience with dealing with people who overwork or hate their job. I hope you pull through this.
>>291782113I understand, I'll go through with it it's just that I'm autistic and I can't gauge other people. Even if I can do my best to go through with it I can't tell if employees or customers are willing to go through with me so they might hate me and want me to get fired but I don't want to get fired or yelled at I just want to keep my head down and make money so I can take care of my parents.>>291782213Thank you anon. I don't think I'm brave, I'm probably as cowardly as it gets it just reached a point where I have to do it and there's no other choice. My ideal scenario is I'm able to disassociate and turn my consciousness off while I'm working so I don't have to feel the anxiety. Just enough brain power to fulfill the requirements of the job until I get back home. Kind of like Umaru-chan.
>>291779802It doesn't have to be a lethal area to trigger, but it also doesn't matter because it just kills you anyway if you don't develop a stand.
>>291782992Like poison?
>>291783976It's a virus. Explained in part 5.
>>291782572Here's some advice, one autist to another:As someone working customer service, the mindset to have is "every person who you are going to talk to today has a problem that they need your help solving, and they are going to be angry or frustrated, but they are not actually angry at YOU. You are just the first person to vent at they have had a chance to talk to about this yet."Just be polite, help them in whatever way you can, and present yourself as someone that is on their side and there to help them and people will calm down a lot in the process. Sometimes you're going to just have to sit back and shut up for a bit and let them rant about the shitty problem they are having that forced them to call you about it, but just let it happen until they let off that steam and know that it isn't directed at you so don't take it personally.Some people are going to be calling you for things that you simply cannot do, like asking for refunds you can't give them or account services that some other department is responsible for. Just explain to them plainly what you can do, what you can't do, and what they should do instead. Some people that call you are just going to be genuine assholes, and thats not your fault either. Remain calm, do the best you can, don't let them get under your skin and you'll do better than like half the other customer service reps out there.
>>291779676Well as seen in 6 just pricking your finger on a fragment should suffice so I'll just do that
>>291779676Sure. Either i die or die from sickness or get kill. I got the impression that most of time b) like he says >>291779802
Could you live with having to deal with Stand-having weirdos all your life? Even a mandatory non lethal once-a-month encounter with some「bizarre」event you can't understand would get exhausting,let alone life or death situations with the crazy of the week. How would it even work for the average stay at home anon. But yeah maybe i'm just acting like Kyon in Disappearance.
>>291779802I have nothing important in my life but I still don't want to die so I wouldn't do it
>>291786985I guess it could be like with most side characters until they found a jojo/ dio related thing their lives went on a usual.
>>291787115Then there's Rohan.
>>291787252Arguably Rohan is a main character and a self insert so i think he's exception.
>>291779676If stands and the arrows and shit existed, it would be out of my control. Fate canonically exists in the Jojoverse.That being said, yes, I'd go for it. Someone has to stop all of those villains, so I might as well give it a try.
>>291784242Thank you anon!
>>291779676fuck no, I'm just a guy
>>291788923Plenty of stand users were basically just regular people. Your stand might not be anything spectacular but if Joshu can get a stand, you can too.
>>291779676I'm not a bitch so yes
>>291788923babies and animals can get stands and u cant? believe in yourself dude
>>291779676>stand users are drawn to other stand users>last name isn't "joestar"Fuck no. You're just begging to get "retired".
>>291780461No there isn't. "I'm really obsessed with downloading torrents of anime" isn't "potential". Your virginity isn't making you Nikola Tesla.
>>291780192I wouldn't die because I'm not a woman
>>291790669>"I'm really obsessed with downloading torrents of anime" isn't "potentialBut it is, we see stands that were awoken because their users were obsessed with cooking and cosmetology, I don't see why the anons that are truly passionate about watching anime wouldn't awaken a stand related to it.
it wouldn't matter even if you got a stand because your last name isn't joestar which means you're either a buddy who's going to die or you're a villain who's going to dieeven if you survive your life is going to get pretty fucked up at some point once the main characters come tramping through ityou think you want to go on a "bizarre adventure"? you're too afraid to even go on a regular adventure NOW.>the reason i stay home alone all day and don't go outside is because i don't have magic powers. that is the only reason.
>>291779676Yes, obviously. I've often daydreamed about having a punch ghost and mysteriously becoming the strongest man on Earth overnight using my stand to lift all kinds of heavy things. I daydream a lot. Years ago I was talking with friends about what kind of stand power I'd get and they said something along the line of hypnotizing middle schoolers if they ate the candy I gave them that would be fine too.But if I had my pick of any stand, it'd be The World.
>>291790825no it isn'tyou aren't truly passionate about anythingyou just waste your life away clickingthat isn't passion, it's avoidance. you're afraid of doing anything that requires serious effort or personal investmentyou're just a loser anon
>>291790904You can be passionate about bullying children and get a stand. There are many anons in this board who are also passionate about doing things to children.
>>291790669>>291790904Quit projecting you freak.
>>291790904Why are you taking it personally? Chill.
>>291779676Yeah, not like my life is worth much anyway
>>291779802>>291779676>>291780192As long as you have the same amount of will power as Shizuka (a baby), a tree and some planktons you're fine.
>>291780192If a loser like this can get a Stand (an exceptionally strong one at that) then we should be okay.
>>291792772Shigechi reminds me too much of myself when I was young, those episodes are hard to watch
