Joe Barbaro - Tumblr Posts

I can only aspire to exudes such beauty

Joe's girl 🚬

Got inspired by water lily patterns in the museum & did some research. White lilies symbolize purity, innocence, and virginity.

So, for kinda.. obvious reasons, I decided to give those lilies the opposite color/meaning. What a pretty woman..

This game singlehandedly ignited my will to learn writing and painting again. Their story was hella traumatic that I AM COMMITTED TO GAVE THEM A BETTER FUTURE IN MY HEAD. Mafia II had such a huge impact on me, and I was in it pretty late, I don’t play video games at all, I only watched people playing them, and I was immediately hooked by them.

Spent my days and nights reading all the lore, watching all the walkthroughs, all the easter eggs, all cutscenes and stuff, I even purchased the game but I didn’t play it bcs my laptop would explode lol I was aiming for the artbook (lowkey kinda a letdown compared to the game they made😔)

They did such an amazing job creating the characters and how they built their relationship with us players, the story was such a rollercoaster sometimes I wished they gave them longer time to enjoy their success lmaooo. I do wished they would gave more to us bcs there are some stories that still left unclear. But from what they have done, it was such a masterpiece.

I really really love Mafia II, no joke I was feeling lost for a couple months, and this game helped me to distract my mind and started being productive again, and I’m forever grateful for it.

Then, the fandom themselves, was such a nice place to play around. I never been “joined” a fandom, and my experience here had been really amazing. I really enjoyed my time seeing, watching, reading all the posts that you guys have made. Special shoutout to @mafiamemesandedits she’s such a nice person to begin with, she followed me who was literally a NOBODY (my tumblr has been deactivated for yeaars, I revived just few months ago) and she interacted with me, being really kind and chill, and it made me feel.. welcomed. As a person with social anxiety, I’m really grateful with how people were interacting with me so far, and I’m really happy with the atmosphere in this fandom.

Okay I’ve been yapping long enough.

I hope you like my painting!

When i saw the GQ China heatstroke pics i ran to order my apple pencil, crammed all the digital painting tutorials, and locked myself in my room to do the deeds.

Babe please come back to bed they aren’t real.

Also please feel free to use any of my mafia things for anything. That’s what they’re here for after all.

Started the prison chapter of mafia last night and one of my prevalent thoughts was “how dare they cut vito’s hair”.

The full shave works for some people but he needs his luscious locks. He just... looks so strange without.

I had to stop shortly after because it was 4 am and I had work the next morning. He was starting his search for Leo Galante and I think it’s sweet that Joe is trying to help him while he’s in prison. I’m not sure where I stand on shipping them yet. I’m aro-ace and often enjoy watching super close and affectionate relationships that aren’t romantic or sexual (I have at least one queer-platonic squish myself, but the idea of going to someone and saying “hey I wanna be best friends forever but in a near-married fashion. Nonromantically please” is daunting).

My current mood is that Joe is super bi and Vito is super gay and they support each other, and I’m happy with that for now. We’ll see.

I take it back. He’s not the momfriend. He’s just the responsible one. (although now I will never get the idea of Joe complaining about being hungry and Vito smacking him in the face with prepackaged sandwiches bc he knows Joe gets hungry out of my head)

seriously guys he just got out of prison and now he has to bury a body while his best friend and his best friend’s... associate (?) are too drunk to help. You should have smacked Eddie with the shovel Vito.

So I just met Eddie Scarpa and we are currently dealing with the business he had to take care of later and a Thought occurred to me over the course of the car ride:

Is Vito the momfriend?

because I’m just sitting here driving these two idiots around and the exasperation in his voice when he’s asking about where they’re going to hide the body is just... I felt that.

Playing Mafia II and just finished the game. Ending is breaking my heart, but came to revelation after the gun fight with Falcone when Vito and Joe were talking together.

Crap.

I ship them.
