Johnny .c - Tumblr Posts

working on my coloring, so i took a few panels from JTHM and colored them sense it’s in black and white….two of these are color palettes that i created on my own. while the second one (the red one) was a color palette i liked online..sense i couldn’t think of a good mostly red and pink color palette..

Where have I seen Zack’s character before?

kills himself once.

is pretty indestructible...

has a younger companion that he cares for and always calls with a nickname rather than their actual names...

likes his own self given nickname over his real name...

both are serial killers...

are you sure Hoshikuzu KRNKRN wasn’t inspired by jthm in any way?

Definitely lol with you there. It’s actually bizarre to me when people do walk away with that impression, because the tone of jthm is actually… pretty cynical about the rate of media literacy among people. It DOES actually do a bare minimum amount of explicit pointers and even quite a bit of hand holding specifically for these edgelord types. Johnny literally meets a copycat killer and biggest fan of his and it fills him with nothing but rage and unfathomable disgust.

He constantly condemns all he is and only views his violence as a meaningful solution to society’s problems to the degree that (spoiler?) literal eldritch forces have manipulated him into delusionally believing so, for their own ends. He’s not the most reliable narrator alone, but he is pointed out constantly by his hallucinations AND sane humans for his incoherent hypocrisy in the comics. For all his complete immunity to consequences to his actions, he’s still a miserable, isolated person increasingly warped from the individual he used to be. He pretends he subscribes to a set of justifiable standards and rules to weed out the “worthy victims” from the innocent, and then again, and again, his fits of vitriolic bloodlust are portrayed with all of the senselessness and arbitrary cruelty that they deserve to be viewed through. When challenged on this front, he doesn’t ultimately have any explanation beyond excuses, excuses, constant excuses that he knows are such deep down… when he is lucid enough to actually introspect. He’s a “maniac” by the literal title of the series.

If anything, JTHM could be the ultimate beginner-level literacy test for a reader’s most basic common sense ability to understand the difference between “protagonist” and “role model”.

Between “things that happen/story themes” and “lessons the author is trying to impart on you”.

Between the voice of an unreliable, imperfect main character and the voice of a hero’s objective wisdom.

Between the narrative deconstruction of a flawed character and when an irredeemable monster is being woobified.

My favorite sardonic, back-handed slap in the face on that front was particularly this panel

[STUPID PEOPLE: I would ask you to keep in mind that this should not be a source of moral guidance (that would be movies) Put away the knives and never allow yourself to forget: you are stupid - JCV]

JTHM/IFS feels like a media literacy and/or personal maturity litmus test. The comic's characters and events are presented with such a combination of absurdity and neutrality...that it opens a lot of room for misinterpretation, depending on where you're at in life. A lot of media actively handholds you towards feeling [X] or [Y] about a character, but Jhonen Vasquez just...doesn't do that [very respectable], and allows the audience to draw their own conclusions. I've seen a fascinating amount of people walk away from JTHM being unquestioningly reverent of Johnny as a character, which like, lol...but in a weird way I kinda like that? Basically, every copy of JTHM is personalized.

I think it's interesting how Johnny is invincible when he's acting under the Doughboys, yet when he becomes free suddenly he no longer has that protection. Once his actions are solely his own, he must face the consequences of them.

I think it's SO interesting how this works pretty well as a metaphor for accountability. If you're under the influence of something you can argue ur actions aren't your fault- but once you get clean you have to admit they are.

Wacky? I was wacky once. They locked me in a room. A dirty room. A dirty room with doughboys. And doughboys make me wacky.

JTHM doodles from class

Redrew a few panels in class cuz I was bored and didn't wanna work!!!!! Might do more later

Underrated panel of Nny

I’ve shared this around Discord but

If I had a nickel for everytime I indulged in a media that focused on a black-haired man who was chaotic and violent in every way that hallucinates with delusions in the original comic and committing acts of crime in name of their moral compass and later the creator would make less gory adaptations of them I’d have two nickels which doesn’t say a lot but it counts

I’ve connected the dots everyone

LOOK MA! I GOT ON THE BANNER THINGAMAJIG!/POS

I am very nervous to post this, but I posted the first chapter of my fic today.

I haven't written since I was 14, so I'm SUPER nervous to post this, especially since I haven't gotten it beta read yet, but im really pushing myself to get content out more regularly.

Its the first chapter of the first part of a trilogy called "Tenderness". Part one is called "Consultation". It is a slow-burn EdNny fic.

The premise is Johnny decided to let Edgar go and figured he'd never see him again.

Yet, a nagging voice pulls his thought to The One He Let Go.

He loses time and finds himself in an unfamiliar club with a familiar face.

Here are some extras!
