Playing Minecraft with the Stardust Crusaders

**Note: Originally I was going to have this be a story with just Kakyoin, but I decided to add the rest of the Stardust Crusaders. Also I decided to just do headcanons instead of writing a full story. I’ve been writing a lot of dark yandere stuff and I just wanted a break. So here’s something wholesome. PS. Polnareff’s part was my favorite to write. XD **

Joseph

He may be an old man, but he’s not completely out of touch when it comes to the concept of video games. It takes him a little bit to learn how to play, but once he gets the hang of it, there’s no stopping him. Joseph’s building skills are pretty basic. He’s more interested in the survival and exploration elements of Minecraft. Once he gets his house built, he does a little mining to get a full set of iron armor, weapons, and tools and then he’s off to explore. He’s almost never seen around the main base and spends most of his time many, many blocks away, discovering cool things. He will often ask questions about things he’s unfamiliar with and you explain it to him. Sometimes he hardly speaks at all because he’s too enamored with all the stuff he’s discovering.

Then there was the “Creeper Incident”. Joseph made the mistake of doing some exploring at night instead of going to sleep like a good little Minecrafter.

“Hey, what’s this freaky green thing?” he asked you.

“Freaky green thing? What kind of freaky green thing?” you said, wanting some specifics.

“It looks like a depressed cactus,” he explained.

Uh oh.

“Oh! That’s a cr---!”

There was a distant explosion followed by Joseph screaming, “Oh my God! Son of a bitch!!!”

After that, something changed in Joseph’s play style. He went from explorer to monster hunter. Angry at having been blown up and losing all his stuff, he goes on a vendetta to destroy all creepers. And why stop there? Zombies, spiders,skeletons or any other creature of the night that crosses his path were quickly dealt with. He goes deep into learning brewing, armor and weapon enchanting, and anything else he can think of to give him an edge against the hostile mobs. With Avdol’s help he builds a battle tower and protective wall around the base. He has very big dreams about taking out the Ender Dragon.

Joseph is a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to Minecraft. He may not be the best builder but he has a lot of creative ideas that help all of you with whatever projects you might be working on, especially when it comes to base defense and monster fighting.

Jotaro

He only ever plays when either you or one of the other Crusaders asks him to. When he first spawned in he wasn’t too impressed. He had a hard time figuring out what he wanted to do. At first, he doesn’t bother building a house or anything and just bums around his grandpa’s house. He makes a snide comment about how Joseph’s house is just a big, wooden block with one window and a door. Joseph grumbles something about how his house didn’t need to be pretty, just practical. Joseph ends up being the one to teach Jotaro how to play, while you occasionally interject to mention something Joseph may have forgotten about. Jotaro just responds with non-committal grunts and wanders around the base, checking things out.

Eventually, he goes off on his own to explore and find somewhere nearby to build a house. He hasn’t collected any resources, has no tools, or crafted a weapon of any kind when he starts exploring. You try to warn him that he should at least get a wooden sword to defend himself with, but he ignores you. It isn’t until night comes and he is nearly killed by zombies that he finally decides to get some wood and stone and make some basic tools. He still hasn’t found a decent place to build yet, though.

After he’s wandered around for about 4 in-game days, he comes across a village. Jotaro watches the villagers run around, doing their thing, and is bemused at their silly appearance and sounds. But when nighttime comes and zombies start attacking them, Jotaro feels he’s found his purpose in the game. Somebody has to protect these dumb looking guys and it may as well be him. He teams up with Avdol and Joseph (who is a little miffed that someone found a village before he did) to form a “Village Security Team”. While Avdol fixes the village up by patching holes in walkways, correcting poorly spawned buildings, and starting work on building a monster proof wall around the village, Jotaro and Joseph stay up at night to fight off the monsters.

Eventually, Jotaro builds a massive fortress near the village and Avdol attaches the wall to it. This fortress serves as Jotaro’s home and the village becomes the secondary base for you guys. Joseph jokingly calls him “King JoJo” and “Your Highness” which usually has Jotaro grumbling under his breath. He spends most of his days decorating or improving either the fortress or the village itself. When he’s not doing that, he’s usually tagging along on one of his Grandfather’s adventures.

Kakyoin

The redstone wizard of the group. Noriaki’s beaten the game a few times already, but only recently started messing around with redstone contraptions. He set up an automated farm that both harvests and replants crops as well as a huge mineshaft with minecarts set up so that they returned to the surface to be unloaded whenever players filled them up with resources.

As innovative as he is, though, he often uses his redstone skills to be an absolute troll. And usually, his victim is you. That’s not to say that he hasn’t pranked any of the others yet, it’s just that you’re his favorite target. It’s kinda your fault though. It started back when you first started playing Minecraft together and you might have, possibly, sorta, kinda, completely un-accidentally pilfered a diamond or two from one of his chests. He knew you were the culprit because there wasn’t anyone else in the game at the time but the two of you. He didn’t call you out on it, though, assuming that you would replace the diamonds as soon as you got a chance. You never did. While you actually did have every intention of returning the diamonds to him, you just forgot about it. It didn’t help that you later developed a habit of helping yourself to whatever you found in his chests instead of going out and getting the resources for yourself. Hey, it was easier and it saved time!

Nori never said a word about it, instead opting to quietly plan his revenge. One day you went down into his storage basement to grab some cobblestone from one of his chests. You were only going to grab a stack or two and make a mental note (for the hundredth time) to replace whatever you took, but knowing that you’d probably forget. When you opened the chest, though, you didn’t find any cobblestone. Instead you found yourself staring into the sullen face of a creeper, its warning hiss in your ears. You let out a shriek of terror and braced yourself for the inevitable explosion, but it never came. You examined the “creeper” again only to see that it was nothing more than an armor stand wearing a creeper head and green dyed leather armor. It was inside of a minecart that was cleverly hidden behind the chest. You just stared at it as your brain slowly came to the conclusion that you’d just been pranked.

“Ah, I see you found my theft deterrent.” Noriaki said, amusement clear in his voice. “It’s a nifty little project I found online called the ‘creeper in a box’ prank.”

You can’t even say anything. He got you good and you know it. You made it a point to stay out of his storage basement from then on.

It doesn’t stop there though. That one little incident unleashed Noriaki’s inner troll and you’re the one who gets to suffer for it. From filling your house with dirt blocks to slowly rearranging your decorations over time to see how long it would take for you to notice, Noriaki just seems to love messing with you. You have to admit that while his pranks are annoying, they are pretty funny and too clever for you to really get mad at. Your “favorite” was when he hid a bunch of note blocks under your house and arranged them to play a certain song when you opened the front door.

“Nori, why is my house Rick Rolling me?” you demand of him, annoyed but admittedly amused.

“Why are you asking me?” he says, playing dumb.

He knows what he did.

You eventually do give him his diamonds back in hopes that will appease him. It does… for a little while at least.

Avdol

The master builder. Before being invited to play Minecraft with you guys, he’d never really played a video game before. But there was something about the building mechanics of the game that awakened something within him, possibly nostalgia for those calm times with building blocks when he was a little kid. Whatever the case, Avdol takes to building like a pro and all without any YouTube tutorials, too. You want a medieval style bakery? You got one. Want a modern bungalow? He’ll do it. Giant fire breathing demon chicken to put in the middle of the base? You can envision the weird looks he wants to give you, but he’ll make one of those, no problem. His best projects are the ones he does on his own, though, with no guidance and with minimal suggestions.

Due to his building skills, he finds himself constantly busy within the game as someone always has some kind of building project they want help with. He even offered to improve Joseph’s plain block house. The old man told him to do whatever he pleased and then went off to go treasure hunting with Jotaro and Kakyoin. When Joseph came back he found his simple home had been converted into a deceptively cute cabin. While Joseph was impressed enough with how cozy it looked, Avdol revealed that the cabin had a secret, a well hidden secret chamber that appealed to Joseph's inner superhero fanboy. He had his very own secret lair now (yeah, it’s not really a secret if everybody on the server knows about it, but let the old man dream)!

Over time, Avdol has added things here and there to the base to keep things from looking so plain. He’s added a decorated pond for fishing and just a place to hang out. There’s also a meeting area for when the whole gang gets together right before going on an adventure (brings back bittersweet memories. At least this time there’s no danger of anyone actually dying.).

And yes, he even added that giant fire breathing demon chicken statue you wanted so badly. Your odd tastes aside, Avdol managed to make the abomination of a statue look rather cool and stylized. Kakyoin wants it to be the mascot for your group. It ends up being put on any and all banners for the base, much to Avdol’s chagrin.

Every time he gets online with you guys he is either working on a project or starting another one. He never seems to run out of things to do. Surprisingly, his own home is rather quaint. Just a regular old farm house, but it’s very pretty. And yes, he has a chicken farm.

Polnareff

Chaos incarnate. This man got into the game and immediately started doing everything WRONG! Digging straight down, forgetting to sleep at least once to ward off phantoms, forgetting to crouch when standing at the edge of great heights, you name it he’s messed it up. So basically just Polnareff being Polnareff. He always manages to find danger or danger finds him. Every monster in the area seems to target him specifically. On one mining trip you actually watched around five zombies shamble right past you and head straight for a very startled Polnareff. They completely ignored you! He’s died so many times that you actually put in the “keep inventory” cheat so that at the very least he stops losing all of his hard earned resources.

Speaking of resources, when it comes to mining it’s the one thing that Jean Pierre is really, really lucky at. To the point that it makes everyone else jealous. He was the first to find diamonds and emeralds and the first to manage to get full stacks of both. You never even thought it possible to find 64 emeralds naturally, but Polnareff managed to pull it off. Joseph is quick to accuse him of cheating which results in a very childish argument between the two until you step in and explain that you were with Polnareff the whole time and he just finds diamonds and emeralds by chance. Joseph apologizes but grumbles when Polnareff laughs. Ever since then, whenever he comes across diamonds, or anything even remotely interesting, he is very obnoxious about it.

“HEY GUYS!!! GUESS WHO FOUND EVEN MORE DIAMONDS?!!” he’ll shout in an annoying sing-song voice.

This usually results in annoyed huffs from Avdol and Kakyoin, disgruntled “Good griefs” from Jotaro, not-so-humble requests for him to stop bragging like an asshole from Joseph, and a threat or two from you that if he didn’t stop rubbing your faces in it, you would shove him into the nearest lava pit. This always earns a mischievous giggle or two from him. He’s so full of himself about it. He does make up for it though, when he crafts full sets of diamond armor for you all. For all his arrogant bragging, he’s really rather generous with his finds. If any of you need diamonds or emeralds he’s the first to offer up his stash. After all, he has so many, why shouldn’t he share? ~ ❤

Whenever he goes mining, you usually tag along. You say that it’s so you can help him carry his loot, but actually it’s because you’re his self appointed babysitter. Just like in real life, it just isn’t a good idea for him to run off by himself. You never say that out loud though because you know how sensitive he is about being danger-prone. Besides he likes having you along and the two of you end up as mining buddies almost every time you play. Sometimes Kakyoin joins you as he’s always in need of redstone and other materials for his contraptions (it’s important to note that Polnareff is Kakyoin’s second favorite trolling victim and it always makes you nervous whenever he tags along because you never know if he’s up to something or just genuinely wants to collect resources.).

Whenever you and Polnareff go off on your own to do anything, the rest of the Crusaders server prepares their poor ears for the inevitable screaming and swearing that will follow. Something happens to you whenever you pair up with Polnareff. Your brain power seems to get cut in half and the two of you end up becoming an unintentional comedy duo that has everyone else either laughing or, in Jotaro’s case, muting you for being “too damn loud”.

There was one time that Polnereff was digging a strip mine that ended up leading right into the Deep Dark and the Warden’s territory. You can probably guess what happened. Before you could warn him, Polnareff’s antics end up summoning the Warden and the monster kills you both before either of you have a chance to panic. This results in Polnareff seeking revenge (or trying to) and going all the way back to the Deep Dark to fight the Warden again (and dragging you along each time), and (both of you) dying again. This happens about three more times before he actually manages to defeat the Warden only to find out that he doesn’t get any kind of reward for it (other than bragging rights, which believe me, he takes advantage of).

On a minor note, Polnareff’s inventory is always extremely unorganized. Whether referring to his personal inventory or his storage chests his inventory is in shambles. There’s no rhyme or reason for where he places things in his hotbar and sometimes he’ll end up hitting monsters with a stick or block of glass rather than his sword. He also has a bad habit of using the wrong tool for certain jobs, such as using his pickaxe on dirt instead of his shovel and it drives more organized players like Kakyoin and Avdol insane.

BONUS:

Iggy

(We’re assuming that the little gremlin lives with you) While he can’t exactly play video games for obvious reasons, he does kinda like watching you play, but that’s only if he’s not trying to take a nap (you’re kinda noisy). Most of the time he just plops down in his comfy spot and watches you struggle to survive in what he mentally calls the “stupid human block game”. He is really amused whenever you and Polnareff team up because watching you two together is comedy gold. Sometimes, when you’re playing alone, he’ll wait for you to be exploring a dark, creepy cave and suddenly bark very loudly for no reason, causing you to very nearly jump out of your skin.

Iggy: “BARK!”

You scream, swear, and jump back so hard that your headset falls off. Your mouse has been practically thrown across the room. You turn around and glare at the little brat.

“IGGY!” you shout accusingly.

The cheeky little doggo runs out of the room making sounds that can be interpreted as the canine equivalent of snickering.

AU where Jotaro stops N'Doul from commit die and he joins the Crusaders. I think he'd fit better than Hol Horse, as much as I like that concept too. He's honourable and really intelligent, and he went out of his way to spare Iggy so he really isn't as evil as he says he is. Plus, there's a lot of potential for character growth where he goes from serving and fearing Dio for the barest minimum of being nice to him, to being treated as a friend and equal by the Crusaders and realising he deserves better.

I also think he'd get along well with the Crusaders, especially Jotaro. Kakyoin would be extremely salty at first but he'd warm up to him eventually with their similar backgrounds. Joseph constantly makes Daredevil references N'Doul absolutely does not get, but he'd be welcoming. Polnareff probably accepts him easily too. Avdol might be suspicious for a while but he'd be happy to have a friend who shares his native tongue.

A little off-topic but I could see him befriending Wamuu too.

I love him so much. I have a list of headcanons I made for him, he's such a fascinating character.

(Also if you have not seen the OVA version of the fight between Jotaro and N'Doul I really recommend it!)

interesting.. i never would’ve considered n’doul to join the crusaders but I see the potential

I feel like if wamuu were to meet him they’d bond over the utilization of their different strengths and stuff like dat >_<

also!!! I rlly need to watch the ova oh my goodness the animation looks so GOOD

#jjba #wamuu #n’doul #asks >_<

Oh I happened to choose all characters from part 3? I'm sure have something for muscular dominant men 🫢

May I ask for Polnareff and Avdol with their darling's first time too?

I love your headcanon for Jotaro, I find it quite cute for him to not know much about sex and awkward with it. And he has virgin kink, very interesting. Do you think he has other kink too?

Feel free to share about other characters you want to write too, I just love reading your work, your highness ❤️

~ 🏵️ anon ~

For future reference, I spell Avdol as “Abdul,” since it makes more sense in Arabic. There’s no v sound, but there is a b and f sound.

These two are both romantics when it comes to sex. Except one is out of genuine respect, and the other is out of delusion.

Mohammed isn’t bothered by your past. It was before you met him, how could he hold that against you? Your experience, or lack of experience, isn’t any of his business. Sex is something intimate to Mohammed- he was younger once, he’s not without a past, but he doesn’t really want something casual with his darling. He’s rather vanilla when it comes to sex, but he’s willing to humor his darling’s requests, as long as they don’t expect to dominate him, or top him. He just doesn’t prefer it, don’t take it personally. Mohammed asks his darling what their sexual expectations of him are now that you’re together. He wants a proper answer, do you want it often, do you not want it at all, do you want it weekly on the dot, do you have anything specific you’d like to incorporate, etc. He’s already forcing you to live with him, he’s not going to ruin his chances of his darling developing stockholm syndrome by forcing them to do something they don’t want, or aren’t going to enjoy. Slow and steady wins the race.

Jean-Pierre will never, under any circumstances, force his darling to have sex with him. Is he fine with it being dubious…? A little. Depends on his mood. Does he realize that holding you down and repeating how much he loves you and how much he wants to touch you is forcing you? Nope! To him, it’s all sweet talk. And if you cry, or scream, or kick, he’s just going to assume it’s your way of introducing him to some sort of kink you have. Ohh, he’s the big bad man, coming to eaaat youuu, hm-hm-hm. You’re a pretty good actor, you were making him nervous there! Jean-Pierre has opened up to you about his past- it was traumatizing to not be there for his sister when she was murdered. It makes him think of the torture Sherry went through before she died, and to be honest, he’d rather not have to stop pounding you because of a panic attack. It doesn’t look good for his suave, charismatic presentation. It stresses him out to think that he isn’t your protector, so let’s not do this kind of play often, alright? Only as a little treat when you’ve been good. He isn’t too thrilled about his darling trying to top him, but honestly, he’s down to switch if you really want to. He’s often loud when he bottoms- be prepared to hear him practically screaming your name and every lovey pet name he can think of in french, alongside begging you to keep going. He won’t mention it the next morning.

As far as Jotaro’s fetishes and kinks… I put him in the same category as a recluse mama’s boy who learned what relationships should be like from his mother + old romance movies. Creep. His primary focal point is how “delicate” and “helpless” you are- it makes him feel needed, and therefore loved. Regardless of your actual strength and durability, Jotaro is forever convinced that you’re constantly on the verge of breaking. As for some specifics, besides from his virginity kink:

Praise. This man goes crazy for some genuine praise. Even if you say it more like an observation, if it can be taken as a compliment, he’s fighting his body’s reaction. “You’re very tall.” is more of a statement than anything else, but being tall is attractive to most people, yeah? So you like his height… He never slouches in your presence after that. Jotaro’s delusions aside, if you were to praise him during sex, he’d lose himself entirely.

Breeding. Even if his darling cannot get pregnant, a man can dream. It isn’t about having an actual child, he just thinks it’s hot to finish inside of you and how fantastic you’d look pregnant. You’d have trouble doing things for yourself, won’t you? Jotaro isn’t about to complain about finding a way to force you to let him do everything for you. Maybe he can tell you to just pretend to be pregnant…

Somnophilia. You just look so sweet and innocent while you’re sleeping, he can’t really help it. Jotaro touches himself quietly- as to not disturb you, he’s worked hard to get you to actually relax enough to sleep- next to your ‘shared’ bed. He likes to think of it as belonging to both of you, but it really doesn't.

So I was scrolling through some old messages and found an. Honestly really interesting concept for an AU which I totally forgot about

AU where Holly doesn't call Joseph about the whole “Jotaro’s locked himself in jail” situation

Essentially the idea is that Joot is sitting and vibing in the jail cell just like canon, however this time when Holly shows up take him back home, he ends up noticing things because she’s now alone and his sole focus. Be it because if his own observation skills or because if Star’s incredibly precise vision, he ends up noticing some things

He notices his mother is paler than she usually is, that she’s having a bit of difficulty breathing, that over all she looks weaker and more strained than she usually is

Jotaro may be terrified of hurting his mother. But he’s even more terrified of leaving her alone sick with no one to take care of her, so it’s enough to get him out of the cell and go home.

And then the second they get through the door, she collapses.

Only it’s the evil spirit��which catches her, far faster than Jotaro could have. And despite Jotaro’s worst fears of it hurting her.... it doesn’t. Instead, it just carefully cradles her fevered form and gently gives her to him. Jotaro then takes her to her room, lies her down, and starts caring for her best he can with the Possibly-Not-That-Evil Spirit’s help.

The next days rolls around, in which Jotaro skips school to care for his mom....... only for Kakyoin to show up.

There’s a fight, the house gets more than a little damage, Jotaro goes absolutely ballistic when he realizes they’re getting closer to the room his mom is in, and ends up knocking Kakyoin the fuck out. He also takes out the flesh bud because What The Fuck Is That Why Is It In Your Head Why Is It Going Up My Arm-

Fast forward a couple more hours. Kakyoin awakens to being tied up and very beat up in a closet. A few minutes of fumbling and trying to figure out what’s going on and eventually Jotaro opens the door with a “are you feeling less crazy and murderous now or do I have to knock you out again?”

They talk, both get answers about What The Fuck Is Going On, and realize their best bet of saving Holly is to find Dio, and maybe beat him up if necessary. Kakyoin remembers him having an enormous library and a bunch of other Stand Users around, so somebody was bound to know something about Holly’s clearly Stand Given Condition.

So they’re off. Jotaro leaves his mother with some neighbors he knew she liked and with the surprising amount of funds Dio had given Kakyoin, they start their journey.

Fast forward a few more hours..... and Joseph ends up getting a call from the hospital. Those neighbors Jotaro left Holly with? Yeah they were really really concerned about her health so she was brought to a hospital which.... you know what fair. Joseph was one of her emergency contacts, and he puts together the possible Stand Involvement so Avdol comes to.

They go check in with the hospital, Avdol confirms it’s a Stand Thing.... and they also learn that Jotaro had left the jail cell but hasn’t visited his mother since she was admitted. So Joseph and Avdol start head back to the Kujo House, and Joseph is prepared to kick his ass for not visiting his mother, offer a shoulder if the kid’s not visiting because Emotions, or both. Plus he also starts planning on explaining Stands and how killing Dio was the only way to save Holly

What he wasn’t prepared for was to find clear signs of a fight alongside blood, because Jotaro and Kakyoin..... didn’t leave the house in the best shape. Joseph then realizes that Dio got to Jotaro before they did, and now is doubly motivated to go and kick Dio’s ass.

So now we have two groups. Jotaro and Kakyoin(and maybe Polnareff) heading to Egypt at a more leisurely pace while trying to learn as much about Stands as they can along the way, and then Joseph going on an absolute war path with Avdol and Iggy

Bonus points if Joseph keeps using Hermit Purple at the worst possible times and getting Seemingly Not Great photos of Jotaro’s situation, double bonus points if they keep nearly missing each other along the way

in honor of MerMay, can you please do the SDC with a shy! merman! reader?

Reader never trusted any land people because they were held captive by Dio and his minions.

(Everyone, but Dio, lives AU)

"Hey, what was that?" Polnareff asks.

Looking into the water, the rest of the group sees... nothing. They all look at Polnareff, confused and annoyed.

"I swear I saw something!" He yelled.

The group goes back to investigating the ship with the sailors, unaware of the net being dropped into the sea.

Their search yields nothing of note, but Joseph does notice a large net near the port side of the ship. Getting closer, he notices it's wet and dripping water, like it was freshly pulled up. The size is also odd, like it was made for something larger than the local fish.

As Jotaro is trying to figure out why there is an orangutan on board, he sees a heavily locked door.

"Well, what do we have here?" He asks himself.

Upon opening that door, he sees a large fish tank. It's filled with slightly murky water and he can't see any fish. Getting closer he hears the rattle of a chain. Turning around, he is met with nothing. Now on guard, he moves closer to the tank before hearing Anne screaming. Running to her aid, he doesn't hear the soft cries from the tank.

"Please... let me out," the voice softly cries.

After Forever's defeat and his Stand collapsed, the group continues on their journey to Egypt. The creature in the tank escaped, and thoughth she was free. Until she saw a minion of Dio's. She swam away, trying to find somewhere other than the ocean.

*In Egypt*

The group was looking for Dio's mansion, but no luck.

The group sets up camp near the Nile, but they hear splashing.

"What was that?" Kakyoin asked.

"Maybe some people or animals getting a drink," Avdol reassures.

Polnareff leaves to take a piss, only to run back a second later. He's yelling about a woman. The group rolls their eyes collectively. They were all too tired to deal with Polnareff's perverted antics. After minutes of begging, the group follows Polnareff to the place where he claimed to see a woman.

Sure enough, the top half of a woman is laying on the banks of the Nile, wearing something that looked like a hair net with a shell in the center. She looked to be asleep. The group elected to leave her alone, until Avdol noticed something in the water. Where the woman's legs and feet should be, was a fish tail.

"Oh my God!" Joseph yells.

The woman wakes up, spots the group and dives into the river and hides behind a nearby rock among the weeds. There is a silence as the group stares at this mermaid. No one knows what to do, or if the mermaid even understands their languages.

"Umm, hello, we mean no harm," Polnareff says, trying to sound non threatening.

Silence, then the mermaid hides under the water. The group doesn't know what to do and is a about to leave, when the mermaid sticks her head back out of the water.

Polnareff introduced himself and the group to the mermaid.

Jotaro notices the mermaid holding a sharp stone and gets on edge. He then asks a single question to the mermaid.

"Do you work for Dio?" He asks.

The mermaid stiffens in fear. Clutching her sharp rock tighter. She hides deeper in the water and plants.

They all just stare at each other, not know what to do. This time, the silence is broken by the growling of the mermaids stomach.

"Hungry?" Joseph asks.

The mermaid shakes her head, trying to ignore her hunger, buts it's so strong. She's dying to have real food, not the mush Dio had his servants feed her. So, eventually the mermaid agrees and gets a little closer to shore.

"Oh, don't worry. We'll bring the food to you," Polnareff insisted.

The mermaid ducks back into the water. The group returns to their camp, and debate what mermaids eat. Once the figure that out, Kakyoin walks towards the river while holding a bowl of food. He doesn't see the mermaid, so he just leaves the bowl near the river. Walking away, he hear a splash and the clang of the spoon hitting the bowl.

When he turns around, all he sees are a wet bowl and spoon, picked clean. He takes them back to camp and wave to the still river.

He didn't see the bright eyes watching him, nor did he hear the soft mumbling for him to come back. The mermaid wanted to trust him, after all he did give her real food. But land dwellers always have alternative motives for kindness, she learned that from Dio and his minions.

The group keeps thinking about the mermaid they saw, debating if they truly saw a mermaid or if they had made it up.

Eventually they determined they had made it up. The heat, and the fate of Holly on their shoulders was starting to get to them. All unaware of the shiny scale in Kakyoin's pocket. He found the scale in the bowl that night, so he kept it. He doesn't know why but he did.

By the time they reached Dio's mansion, they had practically forgotten about the mermaid, until they walked into a room. They tore the door open and they found, a large fish tank. They were on edge and confused. Why did Dio have a large fish tank in a room by itself. Joseph got closer and saw a label engraved into the plate near the bottom of the tank, Pet it said. Looking inside they saw something move. They all got their Stands ready to fight, only to spot a familiar silhouette.

"The mermaid?" Polnareff asked.

Waping away some dirt from the glass, they did see the mermaid. She looked scared, but almost relived when she saw the group.

"Help" was all she softly said.

The group didn't know what to do, but Jotaro notices how the mermaid kept pointing to something that looked like a hair net. Jotaro picked it up, looks for a way to open the top of the tank, and handed it to the mermaid.

Putting it on her head, she swam to the top of the tank and stuck her head out of the opening.

"Thank you," she mumbled.

So, now the group is faced with the fact that mermaids are real, and one is right in front of them.

Asking questions and being given short word answers gave the group a timeline of events for the mermaid.

She was taken out of the sea by Forever, once his Stand sank she swam up the Nile, and was caught by Dio's minions. The group wanted to help but they didn't know how.

The mermaid pulled herself out of the tank to get a better look at the group.

Jotar was the closes and she reached out to touch his face, however she was wet and a bit scaly so Jotaro made a grunt when she touched her.

She shrunk back into the tank. Jotaro just stood there. Polnareff tried to reassure the mermaid that Jotaro meant no harm. But she never resurfaced.

The group spoke to the mermaid, wanting to know what happened to her.

The mermaid told her story. She had lived in the China Sea all her life, enjoying her freedom. But Dio spotted her and ordered for her to be captured. He offered a spot as his minion but the mermaid refused. Dio had her caught and kept in a tank, being watched over by Forever until she had reached Egypt and Dio's mansion.

Then the group freed her from Forever, as she swam to the Nile. After the group left, Vanilla Ice was tasked to catch her, which is how she ended up here.

The group felt bad, and made the promise to free her as soon as they could. The mermaid smiled and started to climb out of the tank, Joseph was freaking out. Once her tail was out of the water, her tail turned into legs. The mermaid explained the hair net looking thing was a Sea Cap and it let her travel land.

*After Dio's Defeat*

Now free, the mermaid bonded with the group. Kakyoin and Joseph taught her about mondern technology and how to be more social. Jotaro taught her how to fight, Polnareff taught her more social aspects of human life. But the group as a whole helped her learn how to trust land dwellers, after her awful experience. The mermaid was happier with them, but still not to trusting of the people on land. Iggy made it easy for the mermaid to learn and interact with land animals.

Years have now gone by, the mermaid was once again longing for the sea. The Crusaders knew it was for the best, so they bought her a plane ticket to the nearest country that could get her to the China Sea.

Standing in the airport, the Crusaders ready to go home. The mermaid gave them each a necklace, each on had the first and last initial of each Crusader carved into a shell, each having one of her scales and beads of their signature colors.

"That way we can be together, even when we're apart," she says.

She gave them all their necklaces. Avdol's has orange and red beads, Kakyoin's has red and green beads, Polnareff's had silver and pink beads, Iggy's had black and white beads, Joseph's had purple and orange beads, and Jotaro's had purple and black beads. The Crusaders smiled and gave their mermaid friend a hug. They gave her their own gift, a photo album and letters of love.

They all got onto their respective planes and they all went home. Happy, the Crusaders never forgot their mermaid and the mermaid never forgot her human friends.

Ethnicity in JJBA

I love that Araki decided to use different ethnicities for his characters and I could talk about it all day, to be honest.

Like, it all started with George I, Dario, Jonathan and Erina, and George II and Lisa Lisa as British people and then Joseph decided he likes Italians.

Boom: half-British half-Italian Holly Joestar who married a Japanese musician = half-Japanese, quarter Italian and quarter British Jotaro Kujo.

Jolyne is half-American, quarter Japanese and one eighth Italian and British each.

Josuke: half-Japanese and half-British, just like Giorno.

The only difference is that Giorno’s living in Italy because his mother said “yo I have a thing for European men” and married an Italian who forced Giorno to say goodbye to his Japanese origin.

As for his half brothers, all we know is that their mothers were all American. But I like to think that Rikiel’s mother is/was black, just like I do for the Costello sisters.

I have to admit, I was confused at first when I saw that Gloria didn’t have dark skin or dark hair like Hermes before I realized that they could be mixed, and the same goes for the Pucci children. Plus, it’s canon that Ermes is Mexican (I’m just not sure if half- or fully) and Pucci is Italian or Italo-American, which are also little details that I really love.

One thing that will always have a special place in my heart is Avdol being Egyptian. It has never been mentioned, but I like to think that he’s also muslim. Which is really important to me since I haven’t really seen a piece of media from non-muslim parts of the world that represented muslims accordingly. They’re either shown as terrorists or don’t exist at all. So this was extremely refreshing and he’s also black AND canonically OP af?? I love.

Japanese Noriaki Kakyoin with red hair? Now that’s what I like to see. I think he’s also a part of the Has Been Bullied Club and he was a very lonely child, so being with the Crusaders must’ve been really important to him.

Not to forget our beloved Frenchman Polnareff. I love how he switches to French just to emphasize things or when he’s too frustrated to even think in English. I relate a lot to that, especially because English is my third language of six languages in total.

I’ve also seen the headcanon of Rohan possibly being Indian or having Indian ancestors and while I don’t agree with that, it has actually crossed my mind when I heard his name for the first time (cliché, I know I’m sorry). It could also be that his parents just liked the sound of the name and that’s all to it, which I think was more the case.

Little things like these give me the freedom to headcanon whatever I want.

For example, I love the thought of Holly learning English and Italian from her parents and then teaching those to Jotaro, who then taught Italian and Japanese to Jolyne.

Or a crossover where the other JoJos and GioGio meet Jodio and Hermes starts laughing her ass off because of the Spanish meaning of the word jodio.

Or, on the angsty side of things, Jotaro being bullied by older students because he’s “only” half-Japanese. Just like Giorno was bullied (although I do not remember if it actually was because of his heritage, but I think so).

Not taking Part 7 – Part 9 characters into the equation because I haven’t finished reading Steel Ball Run yet, which means I didn’t even think about JoJolion and The JoJoLands.

i'm feeling very squishy rn so i'd just like to ask for hcs about avdol, narancia, and speedwagon having a gn s/o who can sew well and makes little plushies. i've found a new hobby and i think it'd be a sweet prompt for some of my favorite characters y'know

JoJo Characters being Given a Handmade Plush!

Featuring: Muhammad Avdol, Narancia Ghirga, Robert EO Speedwagon

This is such a cute request idea!! Best choice of characters too for this omg

Muhammad Avdol

- Omg it's even better if it's made during the events of part 3

- He saw you hand sewing time to time during the journey, and of course he got curious about it

- Though you stayed aloof, only answering with yes and no's, or the answering in full when it wasn't about the project itself

- When you were done, you waited until you were alone with Muhammad in a hotel to gift him a plush of Magician's Red

- It was a bit awkward using what fabric you had with you and having to go off of memory, but his stand looked so huggable you just had to recreate it

- Muhammad is so greatful, he keeps the small plush in an inner pocket of his robe, right up next to him at all times

- He finds your craftsmanship impressive, your admiration of him and his stand is unforgettable!!

- You're sure to leave him breathless and flattered

Narancia Ghirga

- Ever since he found out you could sew plushies he's been asking for one

- "Please Y/n! Can you make me a dog!! A big one too!" "Okay, but it'll cost you." "Nevermind.."

- Yeah he's a little cheap and doesn't fully understand the time and money that goes into these

- But imagine surprising him with a big bulldog plush for his birthday!!

- He's looking back at you and the stuffed animal to see if you're pranking him. That this is a real, free, Y/n-made bulldog.

- Narancia is going to lunge out at you in a hug !! All you hear from him is a string of "thank yous" and "this is so cool"

- Maybe afterwards he might ask you to teach him your ways

- But that dream is killed when he got mad at not knowing how to thread the machine and rage quit

Robert EO Speedwagon

- Great idea: a teddy bear for a teddy bear of a man

- If you give him a hand sewn plush he's going to tear up

- Speedwagon is such a sentimental guy, seeing you spend so much labor on him he needs to put it on a special shelf in his home immediately

- If anything happened to it, he's going to take it personally

- Your gift means the world to him!!

- Brings him back to his own childhood, he didn't get a lot of toys growing up so he latches onto what he's been given

- It's in Speedwagon's nature to repay you in some way

- Whether he buys you a fancy dinner or he cleans your space, Robert refuses to "just accept" a gift. He wants to make you happy too

Howdy everyone, I think it’s time I talk about OVA Hol Horse with my very exhausted brain lmao.

But like…just look his face. He looks so comforting! I’d bet it’s so calming, that it’ll soothe anybody’s worries away. And in these trying times, he’d likely comfort the person that’s in need of it.

Gonna feature OVA Polnareff in this post too, because why not? Anyhow, man….just the transition of this scene…it was so, goofy yet menacing at the same time? It’s just like. Yes, you start with the whole “Oh what’s that? I can beat your bum? Oh, you’re into that stuff!” by OVA Polnareff, then OVA Hol laughs with him like silly adult men. Then the whole action of OVA Avdol risking and sacrificing himself to OVA Pol. And just…OVA Hol having such an ominous looking shot with the most hilarious laugh known to mankind lol. Like. And the OVA Pol shot…so many shadows, it’s just so impactful. Also look at OVA Pol’s face, he looks so upset I swear this man is so unbelievably expressive, it’s amazing.

OVA Hol has a golden Emperor, but I’ve already said that before. But I still believe it’s a neat little difference between that and what we see in the anime Part 3 for Hol. Plus…

…seeing Emperor being summoned the way it is, that’s so..wow. I mean, Part 3 Hol usually has Emperor either faintly spawn into his hand, or spin, which is cool, but OVA Hol Horse has it where it comes out of his hand like his flesh is getting ripped, or summons into his hand like wind. And this scene is interesting too because OVA Hol actually attempts to shoot DIO! It’s so cool…I love analyzing minor characters that aren’t often spoken about, and Hol Horse is special in my heart for that. OVA Hol even clenched his teeth so hard, that his cigarette broke off…it’s a small but neat detail.

Love this scene, I mean, he’s just laughing and then the transition goes to: “YOU! I’ll fuckin’ kill you!”, then spits his cigarette into the air as it rotates until he makes his shot at OVA Pol. His shots are so cool everytime OVA Hol is on screen…

Having a motorcycle instead of horses or elephants is also quite the change. Honestly, there’s many things the OVA changed and with Hol Horse, it’s been a lotta changes, but I am satisfied with them. From having a more southern accent, to making him more sassy and serious, and such more but my brain is so worn out right now LOL.

As OVA Hol Horse says: “The gun is mightier than the sword, my friend.”

Thank you for listening/reading.

I started writing a tweet for the “what Jojo opinion will have you like this? (/unpopular opinion)” and then I thought it would be better as a tumblr post so here goes

I’m not too familiar with the opinions of the Jojo fandom, but I have to say: I’m not really here for the “this character just has a superpower and we gave them a little creature or perhaps an object to represent it” Stands

Offenders include:

Sky High

Technically Bohemian Rhapsody but I give it a pass bc that arc was cool

Tusk acts 1-3

Boku no Rhythm

Catch the Rainbow

Cream Starter

Ball Breaker (this one also kinda gets a pass because of the symbolism)

I think that I should look at an enemy Stand and be afraid of IT, not the user or some outside thing

And it’s not even like all of these are bad stands! I happen to like a lot of the powers they have! But part of what I like about stands as a power system is that they’re not just superpowers, they have bodies and designs and THEY are the threat.

There have been cases where it SEEMS like the user is using the powers of their Stand directly (i.e. Avdol controlling fire, Kira touching something with his hand and blowing it up, etc.) but I’ve always read this as *synchronization* rather than these things actually being the case. Both Kira and Avdol were extremely skilled Stand users with years of experience, to the point where using the abilities of their Stand was as natural to them as using their own body. I always really enjoyed this, because it felt like a metaphor for understanding yourself well and knowing both your abilities and your limits. In the same vein, I don’t think it would’ve been out of place if Kakyoin fired an Emerald Splash from his own hands, since his understanding of Hierophant Green is on a similar level.

This leads to a really cool effect where it becomes harder to tell where the Stand ends and the user begins, abilities-wise, and I think THAT should be the standard! Have Josuke touch things and fix them, have Okuyasu erase things with his right hand—Hell, look at ROHAN! He was so skilled with Heaven’s Door that it didn’t even have a distinct appearance at first, only gaining one once he got a better understanding of other Stands!

I feel like we’ve lost a lot of that starting as early as part 5. Not to say that part 5 and onward are bad parts, I recently finished SBR and am working through JoJolion and I’m loving it! But I will always be partial to Stand/user overlap, and I think that the best Stands have cool abilities but can also deck you in the face. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, feel free to tell me I’m wrong and also a dumbass if you feel so inclined

JJBA men and their Pokémon teams

Since apparently I have no life, please take this. I spent way more time on this than needed, but take it anyways. This is for comedic purposes only, please do not take it seriously 😭 (not proofread)

Ft. Jotaro Kujo, Rohan Kishibe, Yoshikage Kira, Joseph Joestar, Josuke Higashikata, Muhammad Avdol, Dio Brando, Caesar Zeppeli, Jonathan Joestar

JOTARO KUJO

Okay so we all know that this guy is a marine biologist, and I decided to take come creative liberties with that. LMAO

—} Inteleon (partner)

—} Pyukumuku

—} Milotic (I was torn between Milotic and Lapras)

—} Wailord

—} Gyrados

—} Tentacruel

I love the idea of him having a fucking Wailord. It’s so funny to me 😭😭

ROHAN KISHIBE

Fight me. He just looks like he’d have them.

—} Smeargle (partner)

—} Nickit

—} Rapidash (specifically galarian form)

—} Unown

—} Hypno

—} Swadloon

I feel like Hypno is secretly his favorite. However, in my mind, he chose this team because they all “matched his unmatched style”

YOSHIKAGE KIRA

A lot of people headcanon Killer Queen as a cat, and I’m so down for it. I took that idea and ran with it.

—} Espurr (partner)

—} Persian

—} Liepard

—} Umbreon

—} Absol

—} Rockruff

The ONLY reason he has Rockruff is because he didn’t want to look weird. Bro wanted to be as normal as possible but only made it worse for himself LMAO

JOSEPH JOESTAR

He definitely goes for fighting types out of all of them. He thinks it makes him look cool but he’s wrong :/

—} Cubone (partner)

—} Beware

—} Machamp

—} Tyranitar

—} Tauros

—} Onix

He’s secretly a sucker for cute Pokémon, but he does his best not to let anyone know because he knows he’ll get bullied if someone finds out.

JOSUKE HIGASHIKATA

He takes after his dad in the type preference, but thinks they look cool rather than making him look cool.

—} Dragonair (partner)

—} Flygon

—} Garchomp

—} Metagross

—} Pangoro

—} Aggron

100% buys his Pokémon accessories so they can match. If someone brings it up in battle, he’ll make them regret it. No one insults his babies 😤

MUHAMMAD AVDOL

Fire types. Argue with me if you want but we all know it’s true.

—} Darumaka (partner)

—} Ninetales

—} Talonflame

—} Pyroar

—} Turtonator

—} Salazzle

The idea of Avdol having a Darumaka is so precious to me pLEASE-

DIO BRANDO

WHORE. We all know he’s got the scariest shit for no reason. He definitely used them to torment Jonathan when they were younger

—} Chandelure (partner)

—} Mismagius

—} Gengar

—} Spectrier

—} Seviper

—} Scolipede

FUN FACT: Litwicks (Chandelure’s first form) can drain the life force of living creatures. That’s why I find Chandelure being his partner to be very fitting

CAESAR ZEPPELI

So I was torn between sticking to a specific type or just going with his vibe. That’s what this is and you can’t change my mind now.

—} Frostlass (partner)

—} Zoroark

—} Krokorok

—} Mawile

—} Mimikyu

—} Greninja

He loves Mimikyu with every bone in his body. If Joseph ever called it ugly, he’d let it go crazy and beat his ass. (I fucking love Mimikyu)

JONATHAN JOESTAR

Pretty boy <3 I genuinely believe he’d be more into normal types. They’re chill and so is he

—} Furfrou (partner) (ITS DANNY!! RAHHHH)

—} Sawsbuck

—} Snorlax

—} Noivern

—} Minior

—} Stoutland (ITS DANNY!!!! RAHHHHH)

Snorlax only adds to the gentle giant vibe imo. And ignore Furfrou and Stoutland. I was feeling silly.

Could I request headcanons of the SDC falling in love with a French reader instead please

Now this is something I'd love to do! I wasn't sure how to work in the Reader being French in these HCs so I hope you don't mind me focusing more on the boys and their feelings towards the reader! So sorry for the wait <3

Btw I hate to tear apart a wonderful couple so just. For Joseph's HCs imagine they broke up on good terms. Or they're open to a poly? Whatever your heart desires

Falling in love, Ft. the Crusaders ♡

Jotaro

•Jotaro is slow to falling in love, but when it happens it happens hard, but it's easy to miss

•Has the tendency to curse you out worse then the rest. Deep down he feels terrible about it but he can't help it

•When you're around he falls silent and can't look you in the eye, once you look away though he can't keep his eye off you

•He shows his love silently, like making an extra drink and passes it off to you as a mistake, if you fall asleep near him he gives you his jacket as a blanket (acting annoyed like you whined for it before you passed out)

•Buys knick knacks that reminds him of you

Kakyoin

•It's much easier to tell when Kakyoin catches feelings. Already Kak is a very caring boy but he has the tendency to dote on you and give you more attention

•If somehow you still haven't caught on to his feelings yet, the rest of the group likes to tease him about his crush, he goes bright red but tries to hide it

•His love language is physical, he'll patch you up if you're hurt, or give you a shoulder to cry on when things get too stressful

•Emotions around you flip flop a little, sometimes he's either too shy to speak or talks your ear off about his favorite things

•At some point his emotions bubble up to the point he can't hide them anymore, he confesses his feelings to you himself, blushing like crazy

Polnareff

•Good luck! With Pol, his romantic hints could be mistaken for his normal flirty self, except he's much more extravagant. He surprises you with gifts and flowers and your favorite snacks

•It becomes noticable that he stops hitting on others and spends most of that time instead hitting on you

•Everything is turned up a couple notches. He offers you his arm whenever you walk together, finds something about you to compliment everyday, and sees you off with a kiss on the hand, or even on the cheek.

•He shows care through gifts of course, ever the romantic, it's always roses or chocolates, perfumes or spa supplies (he offers to be your masseuse. Every time)

Avdol

•Similar to Kakyoin, Avdol is very caring around you, he shows care through his touch, he always makes himself available to you and is willing to drop anything if you need him

•More than willing to offer you his robes or body heat when you're cold, all you need to do is ask!

•He acts like the calmest one of the group, but around you he has trouble controlling Magician's Red. His stand will appear out of the blue to coo and really just act like a big bird at you

•Avdol finds a clear, cold, dark night the perfect time to confess to you. He holds your hand softly in his and tells you of his growing feelings, then pull you close to combat the chilling air, playfully suggesting that sharing a bed could help warm your better

Joseph

•Joseph loves to show off when you're around, he can't help it. You make him feel young again!

•Uses Hermit Purple to tease you, wrapping his bramble around you to pull you right back to him

•Even before your relationship takes off he acts like you're both meant to be, his favorite place to be is right by your side with a hand on your hip/holding yours

•You can think of him as a personal sugar daddy, and I mean that in the best way. He can read you like a book, and can tell when your eye lands on something you'd just love to have, don't be surprised when you find it wrapped with a bow on your hotel bed the next morning

•Loves you the old fashion way, invites you on romantic nights out, to dance classes, and loves to show his affection with a sweet kiss on your hand ♡

🥰 anka and i are sharing a prion disease right now so we're rewatching the JJBA OVA. and okay. maybe it was the weed but i think it might be... i think it's my favourite thing ever made. that's ever existed. for all time. it's my favourite thing that exists. my favourite thing that Is. it really does makes me feel exactly like the ending of HEAT... LOL and i'm serious about this. it's like a stun gun or like being sandblasted where i'm shot outside of my body helpless to what's happening. horrible feeling and i love it very much.

and i feel soooooooo fucking VINDICATED because i dug deep into japanese forums + blogs and found people celebrating it ;__; there are discussions from this year (2024) even! people agree that it's gorgeous and that if you're going to watch (or even read) any version, it should be this one. that it rewards you on rewatches... which is true. every time i see it, i find something new, some extra bit of care that goes toward the structure of the mood. so many subtle movements in the acting, so much elegance to the balance of exposition in the dialogue. mainly in the japanese version, but it's not like it's lost in the english dub, just different. the voice actors did an amazing job with tone— notably there's this shaky tightness in Jotaro's voice during moments of fear/stress that enhances his expressions, actions.

i found people talking about the tension, acting, a wonderful review on the use of shifting, dynamic lighting throughout the OVA, the way the sound design— engineered by Skywalker Sound with score by a very young (~19) Marco D'Ambrosio— fills in SO MUCH for the animation with tasteful specificity in implying things like unique weight for footsteps, for Avdol's rings, or how the sound of Geb is like a strange layered scream. and fortunately found many people talking about being in awe of n'doul's humanity and how he has serious rizz lol and that he, in any version, is the only serious sobering moment of the glory gods... WAAAAH then i come on twitter or whatever and people are like "looks like shit, worst fight in the thing," and it's like jesus h. christ get a LIFE. i'm sorry you were tricked and lied to, but bad taste can be fixed if you just open your heart a little.

i do not feel moved whatsoever to watch the rest of the TV series (i made it up to the hunting episode of DIU.) something can be faithful and also a major downgrade, by intending to be as faithful as possible, misses the elements that make it what it is. besides, modern anime looks like real shit right now and i won't force myself through it solely because it exists. but i love this adaptation. i would rather see a beautiful interpretation that prioritises an effective, effecting mood, that tries to compromise with purpose and synthesise the source into what an animated version— the short film that this is— can do for it. what the form can heighten. there are little movements, upticks in speed or anxious stillness. the breathless timing and gravity of jotaro touching down and star platinum ripping right out of him like a major leaguer performing another major league hit. n'doul reacting to iggy, jumping slightly while kneeling. jotaro wiping off his fingers with a hanky and then rubbing them together. the entire scene with polnareff on the crates. oh GOD and the opening with the inverted sun... the cane... the cane scene cannot Not destroy you, be honest.

why did they include the red granite obelisk, notably from aswan, one of which was at one time commissioned by hadrian for his boyfriend antinous who drowned in the nile? that didn't have to be there, but isn't it beautiful? (and they put the eye hieroglyph right where we can see it... uuugh.) never mind the actual canonical content, with jotaro and n'doul mutually captivated, delighted, by each other's skill until the end. it's so painful knowing the inevitable outcome but it still somehow sneaks up on you with the way it's paced and i love to be rocked by it every time. the only guy ever to be spared on purpose— respecting him that much! and the respect is mutual! jesus, his monologue! he's the only one to be mourned. THE only one to be buried. by hand. alone. the fight begins under high noon sun and the burial completes at dusk. he's 17. fuck me.

i love when a story is never allowed to fully wrap up into the typical "and it was all worth it!" sort of vibe, which, in a way, is what happens, but it never rises to the point where... where that positivity matches the intensity of what was shown to you previously, or that those losses are meant to be forgotten in the wake of righteousness. and as far as i can recall, this is something araki has perfected over time. i'm thinking about the brutal bit in DIU with josuke carrying? dragging? okuyasu, and the particulars of kira's fate. but i'm REALLY thinking of VA, with giorno &co. in the office, and the epilogue. and then obviously SO. and then SBR. and JJL. this approach, the bittersweet heartache or outright mourning, has become a precise weapon and i can see the through-line from SDC. now that i've watched HEAT i can see why araki said that he cries every time he watches it. it's wrenching. and a big part of that is that you don't necessarily expect it because of genre or style flourishes, and that's really special. to be caught unawares, because you were already caught, you've been caught this whole time and now you have to take it.

i now know that yeah. yes. this is The definition of a special interest. because i have to, must, rotate this object in my head compulsively and purposefully so i can see every angle and crevice. i intuitively understand that i shouldn't be so bowled over and bitchy about it after so many years, sooo many years, but i can't help it! you like what you like and this is the benchmark. it pains me that it is so finite. that i've confusingly hung my heart on something that no one on earth could give one (1) solitary fuck about, and therefor there is an abrupt end to material. so i AM left rotating shapes in my head sussing out indentations in the form. kinda crazy. but fighting against it is maybe more punishing in a way.

this fight was chosen as the opening to the OVA because it's one where everyone is present. this fight was also going to be the entirety of the OVA, but araki liked it so much he requested more episodes 🥰💕
