Just My Type
FT. Jonathan Joestar, Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Josuke Higashikata, & Giorno Giovanna
Pt. 1 | Pt. 2
WARNINGS: Sexually explicit content under cut. Minors and ageless blogs dni. Fem!Reader. Stalking, panty stealing, inappropriate use of stands, pervy jojos, masturbation, accurate to their individual timelines. Don Giorno and Cop Josuke. NOT PROOFREAD!!
SUMMARY: Perv headcanons for the JoJo’s up through part five. Might make one for the JoBros-
JONATHAN JOESTAR
Out of all of them, he feels the most guilt
He’s a gentleman, after all
First it starts out with him eyeing your body, taking subtle peeks throughout the day
It then escalates to him brushing against you gently, and it kills him
There’s not much he can do outside of watching you and getting off to you before bed
SPEAKING OF THAT-
He humps his pillow
God he’s so desperate and needy too
Especially when you have no idea. For whatever reason, it makes his heart swell
But he feels so bad about it. What if you ever found out? What would you do? Do you feel the same way about him??
Once saw you riding your horse and was genuinely never the same after that
There was something about how determined you looked, with that wistful look in your eyes that just turned him on
He’s so down bad that he asked Dio for advice
“Get her drunk and convince her to stay. She’s stupid enough anyways.” “Grope her… duh…”
Dio does NOT give two shits about wether not his advice is legal
However, Jonathan follows through with the alcohol one
It’s his only chance to get close to you outside of studying alongside you
And to his surprise, you come over and share some wine with him
Thankfully, you wind up getting tipsy first, which gives him the chance to make his move
“Ah, y/n. It’s not safe for you to travel back to your estate in such a condition. Allow me to provide you with somewhere to spend the night.”
He lets you stay in his bed, and even convinces you to wear his clothes to bed
Snuck into the room while you were asleep and just watched you
Oh how he wanted to touch you, to feel you, but he couldn’t. It felt like he couldn’t do anything about his feelings for you and it bothered him so
Also practically ruined his clothes once he got them back. (Listen man sometimes it’s hard to get cum stains out-)
Dio never lets him hear the end of it and proceeds to give him shitty advice
JOSEPH JOESTAR
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- this man is a WHORE‼️
He has no shame whatsoever and refuses to keep his feelings for you a secret
In fact, you can barely tell if he’s kidding or not when he hits on you
He steals your clothing
Shirts? Gone. Bras? Never to be seen again. Panties? Oh he’ll steal them, ruin them, and then slip them back into your dresser when he’s over
He loves the idea of getting away with it, and it turns him on to know that you’re just as clueless as ever
Slips pictures of himself into your house, leaving them on the counter to make you think of him
Honestly thinks he’s so smooth (Caesar thinks he’s fucking weird)
Has no problem with smacking your ass out of the blue
Also really likes to pick you up and bury his face in your chest
Has collected various photos of you and gets off to them almost every night
Like it’s just a pic of you smiling and he’s hard as hell
While Jonathan whimpers and begs, Joseph moans and mutters
On the loudness scale he’s about 13/10
He does not give a flying FUCK about who hears him
Talks dirty while he fucks his hand, closing his eyes to picture your beautiful face between his legs, smiling up at him
Yeah he likes to take sneak peeks of you in the bath, so what?!
Does all of this with the mentality of “she’ll be mine eventually, so I’m entitled to a head start-“
JOTARO KUJO
Feels a little guilty about it at first, but never feels that way ever again once he gets ahold of a Polaroid of you in a bikini
Carries that shit around with him EVERYWHERE
He has also collected various photos of you, and has a mini photo album that’s dedicated to pictures of you smiling
Sorry but I think he’s into dacryphilia
Sure he loves to see you happy and enjoying yourself, but he just thinks you look so pretty when you cry
He fucking loves it when you come to him in tears, taking it as his chance to wrap his arm around you and bring you in closer to him
He constantly tells you that you’re annoying, but would smash you in a heartbeat
Enemies to lovers bs but he’s in love with you from the start
He prefers to steal your bras over anything else (he seriously has a thing for tits-) and DOES NOT give them back until they stop smelling like you
He also (occasionally) steals your shirts and replaces them with his own. The idea of you walking around in one of his shirts when it’s too big for you really gets him going
Loves to take you out for drinks and then escort you back home
Even better if you’re a lightweight
It gives him a reason to carry you back to your place and tuck you in bed
Once found your ‘special drawer’ while snooping around and fucking stole your vibrator
Granted, he bought you a much better one and snuck it into your drawer, but you were pissed when you noticed it’s absence
He has, and will continue to, use Star Platinum/The World to stop time and get his hands on you
Even if it’s just for a few seconds, he’ll be thinking about it all day
Oh god and Star Platinum loves you too
Grabs and holds you. 10/10 cuddler, even if Jotaro is incredibly embarrassed
You’ve always just seen it as ‘Jotaro’s lonely side’ and nothing more, so you don’t tell off Star
Star has been known to sneak away from Jotaro just to hang out with you
If you and Joot ever end up sharing a hotel room together for any reason, Star will hump you in your sleep
Now, Jotaro lets out low grunts and moans, but is typically quiet when getting off. STAR PLATINUM???? Fucking whimpers and whines like there’s no tomorrow
This man is hanging on by a thread
JOSUKE HIGASHIKATA
Man
On the guilt scale, he’s second place for sure
Feels HORRIBLE
But is also like his dad with the “yolo” mentality
Steals your shirts and shorts, sleeps in them (even if they’re too small), and refuses to give them back
Like your clothes just keep vanishing and you’re like ???
Has used Crazy Diamond to sneak into your place and has no real intentions of stopping
Has a shit ton of photos of you sleeping hidden away in his room
Really just wants to hear you call him a good boy
When he’s needy, he is NEEDY. Humps his pillow, whimpers, whines, the whole ass package
His hand just isn’t enough for him anymore
Unlike his father, he’s not brave enough to get close to you or touch you. My guy can’t even hug you without turning a bright shade of red
Oh and if you come over to play games with him, he’s a total goner
Absolute mess of a man
Can’t do shit without being embarrassed, so he’s a lot less weird than the others
But by god what he would give to hear you call him a good boy
It’s like his one dream
Rohan once used Heaven’s Door on him to get more dirt on him and has (some) no regrets. Will never let Josuke hear the end of it.
“Ohoho you like y/n? Josuke you good for nothing pervert. Give the woman a break.”
Prays that one day you’ll be in trouble and he’ll be the officer sent out to save you
GIORNO GIOVANNA
He’s one second away from going full blown yandere
You can’t change my mind
He’s got everything he needs at his fingertips, and could easily take you away without having to lift a finger
Openly flirts with you, but treats you with such respect that you can’t tell if he’s just being nice or not
Also spoils you
Buys you anything he’s ever seen you take interest in
Even if you don’t really want it, it WILL show up at your door eventually
Makes sure to sign his gifts to you so you don’t forget who it is that’s spoiling you like this
Kisses your hand and cheeks in a way that he claims is platonic
Loves it when you trust him enough that you can come to him for anything. Gossip? Do tell. Something bothering you? Just let him know and he’ll have it all sorted out in no time
I shit you not he makes you sit on his lap while you tell him about your day
You think it’s because the two of you are such good friends, but he actually just loves the sight of you pressed against him
His voice gets higher pitched when he gets off, and he begs a version of you that doesn’t exist to let him cum, pleading with you over and over
Eventually, he’ll start to feel bad about it, but he’d much rather live in the moment

The jobro theory
An observation I've made through watching/reading jojo
In every part where the jobro dies, the jojo gets married
In every part where the jobro lives, the jojo doesn't have a love interest
And in every part where the jobro is the opposite gender of the jojo, they are romantically involved
#jjba#i feel like I'm onto something#does this count as a theory?#you guys can help me figure out what this means#i trust you#in this instance I am referring to William Zeppeli as the joro#jodio and dragona are exempt from this for obvious reasons#not speedwagon

Jojos bizarre adventure part 4 to 6...
Well, I just finished Jojo's, and I have no idea where to start. WHAT AN ANIME, WHAT A SERIES, AND HOW AMAZING EVERYTHING WAS. I started watching the series because of the memes and ended up watching one of the most incredible anime series ever. Seriously, what an amazing freaking anime, I enjoyed it like crazy. Let's break it down: Josuke's season was one of my favorites; I really liked the plot, and throughout the season, I was trying to figure out how the heck they were going to beat Kira, and while it didn't have as many memorable fights, the final battle is spectacular. Giorno's season also impressed me; it was the one I was most looking forward to, and it was totally worth it. The fights were great, and the ending too. Plus, the soundtrack for this season is exquisite, and it also has one of my favorite moments of the entire series and one of the reasons I started watching: The Torture Dance. And finally, Jolyne's season... it was my favorite of them all :v, great fights, great opening, spectacular villain (actually my favorite in the series), and with a final battle that can only be described as overwhelming. Bro, Pucci's stand is the most fucking cataclysmic power I've ever seen in any medium, I literally felt genuine distress watching the entire fight against Pucci. I'm trying to think of any character with a similar power, but I can't think of any (Edit: Antispiral too, cof cof); he literally reset the damn universe XD. One thing I loved about this series was the deaths, and those who have followed me for a long time will know that one of the things I hate most in an anime (especially in One Piece) is fake deaths, but in this damn show, they keep killing off all the protagonists and secondary characters, man, which, although it left me with a high degree of depression (Shigechi, Iggy, Avdol :''''v), I must say made the situations and fights completely adrenaline-filled. I was stressed out in every season, not knowing who they were going to kill off in each episode. The death that hit me the hardest was Shigechi's; the final moment gave me so much anxiety, and the fact that he ended up dying just before telling his friends... Now, my favorite fight was Everyone vs. Father Pucci, my favorite stands were Silver Chariot and Crazy Diamond, my favorite villain was Pucci, my favorite Jojo was all of them (Especially Josuke), my favorite jobros were Polnareff and Koichi, and lastly, my favorite season was Stone Ocean. The only thing I didn't like is that now I'm left wanting more. I could describe my experience with the following phrase: I don't know what I'm watching, but I can't stop watching it. What a great series.
#jojo's bizzarre adventure#jojos#diamond is unbreakable#stone ocean#golden wind#josuke higashikata#jotaro kujo#crazy diamond#star platinum#koichi hirose#za hando#okuyasu nijimura#rohan kishibe#kira yoshikage#killer queen#giorno giovanna#guido mista#jjba narancia#bruno bucciarati#leone abbacchio#fugo pannacotta#diavolo#trish una#jolyne cujoh#jolyne kujo#ermes costello#ff jjba#emporio alnino#enrico pucci#weather report

Jjba takes you out to dinner 1-7 (JoJos+Jobros)
warnings: None
Jonathan:
Takes you to a nice, quiet place without many people.
Holds your hand or hooks around your arm while you’re waiting for seats.
Points out every. single. item. This man wants all of it and can never decide what he wants to eat, please give him some help and chose for him.
Not a picky eater in any way, shape, or form. You put a plate in font of him and he’ll eat it.
Offers to share and asks to try your food as long as nobody’s paying attention to you two.
ALWAYS PAYS THE BILL. If you even suggest money and grab your wallet he will immediately say no, he’s got it covered.
Speedwagon:
He’s SO excited to take you out and will dress as nice and clean as physically possible.
Stares in awe when he sees you for the first time that night; then he compliments you with the most bashful look.
Takes you to a quaint local restaurant, nothing too fancy but nice enough to share a date.
He definitely likes pasta dishes.
Speaking of pasta, you two totally have a lady and the tramp moment with your shared plate of spaghetti where the noodle is connected and you almost kiss.
He definitely pays as often as possible, a true gentleman.
Joseph:
He had to swallow his pride and ask Ceaser for a good restaurant to take you to; also asked for tips on what to get you and what to say.
Surprises you with a giant bouquet of flowers; most likely roses.
He really loves sharing plates of food, he thinks it’s so romantic and lovey.
Takes a napkin and wipes your face super gently, trying to lean closer for a smooch.
Actually hates the taste of beer, he pulled the most disgusted face when the waiter offered to grab him one.
Usually pays the bill, but will also settle for 50/50 if you’re insistent on paying.
Ceaser:
He’s a total gentleman and will try to match with whatever you’re wearing. Usually just colours but if he’s in a fancy mood he buys you a perfect matching dress/tux/whatever you want.
Gives you a single rose that’s your favourite colour and says some corny shit like ‘for you, mia cara’
Insists on calling you cheesy names the entire night.
Takes you to a really nice and expensive restaurant and you two are the most romantic couple there.
He’s totally a wine man. He gets like three different bottles of the restaurants finest quality for you two to enjoy.
Another man who will not let you pay, don’t even mention money around him, he doesn’t want you to worry about anything.
Lisa Lisa:
She brings you a rose, complimenting you in a way that will make you feel warm all night.
Her preferred place to go is an expensive restaurant, wanting to spoil you as much as possible.
She’s a red wine type of woman, and will hold her glass up for you to take a sip.
She loves talking with you and she always asks how you’ve been doing, wanting to know every little detail about your day.
She leaves a red lipstick mark on the corner of your lips, ghosting her lips over yours as a goodbye and a promise.
She will always pay, she wants to spoil you and paying for your meal is just another way to do exactly that.
Jotaro:
Probably takes you to a restaurant in an aquarium.
Takes off his hat for you at the table, he learned manners from Holly.
It’s a quiet dinner, where you two have simple talks and just enjoy each others company and the sea life around you.
You probably have to calm him down when the waiter shamelessly flirts with him. He won’t yell because he knows you don’t like it, but if you don’t help him out he might just lose it.
He loves watching you. Not in a creepy way, but in an admiring way. He loves how you sparkle when your food comes and your face when trying something new.
He also pays for it, lightheartedly glaring at you when you try to offer your card. If you nag him enough, he’ll go 50/50 but it’s rare.
Kakyoin:
You two are always eating out and trying new places to dine. He makes sure that he takes you to your favourite places during dinners.
He loves Asian food and more specifically Chinese food.
Spends extra time on his looks (his hair) and always has the best cologne. It smells like cherries and sandalwood.
He’s also somewhat quiet at dinner, mostly prefers to chat about trivial thing and enjoy the time he spends with you.
You two usually just order a few small plates and share them, offering the most variety.
He likes to pay for dinner, but is also totally okay with splitting the bill.
Avdol:
Takes you to an Egyptian restaurant and has you try his childhood foods.
He’s got this soft smile the whole dinner and you can’t help but be charmed by him.
He prefers to listen to you talk about anything and everything, he will always listen and dinner is a nice opportunity to catch up.
Definitely laughs if you can’t handle spicy food. He also has the best tips on how to get rid of the pain.
Has a preference for warm food, and it somehow stays warm the entire dinner.
He will 100% pay for you. He always shrugs it off and tells you not to worry about it.
Polnareff:
Dresses super nice, like, crazy nice and makes sure every little detail about his looks is okay.
Calls you random French nicknames the whole night and compliments you in French cause he thinks it’s romantic.
You two are chatting up a storm, he always matches your energy and loves when you do the same.
Orders random dishes that sound cool and it’s like a game of Russian roulette, it’s either really yummy or the worst thing you’ve ever eaten.
If it’s bad, you two ditch after paying and go somewhere else to do the same thing.
ALWAYS PAYS. He says he wouldn’t be a proper French gentleman if he didn’t.
Josuke:
Takes you to Tonio’s.
He definitely just stared in pure awe when he sees you all dressed up and fancy, stuttering out a compliment as soon as you meet up at his side.
Endless compliments and bad pick-up lines. Most are awful but some have your eyes crinkling at the corners from laughter.
He always cracks up jokes and the whole energy of the dinner is fun and light, he doesn’t want you to think about anything but the moment.
Please compliment his hair, he put extra effort into it for you.
He offers to pay but is also cool with going 50/50, whatever you wanna do.
Okuyasu:
Also takes you to Tonio’s restaurant.
A total dork, makes jokes and says silly stuff just to see you smile but is also strangely charming.
You two are playing footsies under the table 100% just please be careful not to stab him with a heel, he will cry.
Almost gets you two kicked out from being too loud, thank God for Tonio.
Excitedly gets you to try his food, asking if he can try yours as well.
He doesn't really care who pays, but if it's the first dinner he definitely payed to seem like a gentleman.
Rohan:
He’s always busy, but he managed to find time after finishing his manga early that week.
He’s dressed in a designer suit, and always buys you something nice to wear so that you guys look amazing together #bestdressescoupleinmorioh
He loves taking you out to help him find inspiration, and often dedicates parts of his manga to your guy’s dates.
His attention is solely on you, and you can’t help but feel flustered under his gaze.
He makes sure to keep an eye out for anything that bothers you, making sure it’s removed from the table immediately.
Always pays. No discussion.
Giorno:
He either takes you to a really nice restaurant or a small, quaint diner.
He’s dressed nicely, just a simple tux with a rose on the chest. He doesn’t really care what you wear, but likes to match.
He definitely does a ‘magic trick’ and uses G.E to make a flower ‘appear’ and tuck it behind your ear.
Orders a few small things for both of you, always asking what you like and don’t like. He’s super sweet because he always remembers your taste.
You two talk about everything under the sun over a glass or two of wine or rosé, maybe champagne if you’re feeling fancy.
He prefers to pay, he’s got a ton of money he doesn’t need, so there’s no reason to have you pay.
Bucciarati:
He takes you out all afternoon, picking you up with flowers at the ready.
He takes you to his favourite Italian restaurant, probably not Libeccio cause it reminds him of his job, but some other really nice place.
Holds your hand over the table, gently rubbing his thumb in circles across the back of your hand.
He loves hearing you laugh and talk the night away, all his stress seems to melt while he’s with you.
He gives you a passionate kiss at the end of the night, craving you until the next time you meet him again.
He pays for everything, you don’t even have a chance to try and pay when he does it so fast you can barely keep up.
Abbacchio:
He prefers eating at home, but makes an exception for you.
Takes you to a nice, quiet restaurant that’s not at all busy, probably later in the night at 7pm so there’s not too many people.
He doesn’t talk much, instead opting to listen to whatever you want to talk about but he’ll always make sure you know he’s listening.
Sits and chats with you over a glass of the finest wine the place can offer before eating.
He really enjoys a nice medium-rare steak and some salad, if the food is really good he offers a bite to you.
He will also always pay. It’s like this unspoken thing where you don’t even question him or ask.
Mista:
He puts so much effort into his appearance, he even smells strangely good, like burnt cinnamon.
He also takes off his hat for dinner, revealing a head of dark curls.
He flirts the entire night, barely giving you a break to eat before he’s firing compliments.
He’s loves taking you on dates, and always has a fun little gift for you. Flowers, trinkets, anything he finds that he thinks you’ll like.-
He definitely wants to sit beside you instead of across from you so he can nudge your thigh or have you lean against him.
He also usually pays, but he’s more relaxed than the others if you want to split it. As long as you don’t want to pay for the entire thing.
Fugo:
He’s not a fan of busy places, so he suggests a less populated restaurant for you two.
He dresses up, wearing a good quality suit with his strawberry tie. He loves when you accidentally match.
He’s pretty nervous, he gets antsy while picking you up and takes a solid three minutes to knock on your door.
Once he sees you though he gives an awkward compliment and tries not to think too hard.
He really loves being around you, and even if he can be awkward about it, he always tries to show how much he loves you by listening to you talk and offering advice when he can.
He doesn’t really care about payment, but is expecting to pay for the whole thing. He will be pleasantly surprised if you offer to split the bill.
Narancia:
He’s so excited oh my god. Buddy is buzzing with energy and it’s definitely contagious.
He definitely asked Bruno for advice on how to treat you right.
He’s dressed so nicely, but he probably has his tie backwards, please help him with it and you’ll get the brightest smile.
The energy is fun and light as you go to a fairly nice spot, not super fancy but it’s a nice place.
You two are always smiling and laughing with each other, he cracks some jokes but he’s just happy to be around you.
He pays for the dinner, he thinks it’s un-gentlemanly to let you pay.
Trish:
She’s so ready. She’s wearing the nicest dress she owns and is taking in a whole limo to the most luxurious restaurant in Italy.
Her eyes have stars as she sees you; the most beautiful person in the world to her.
She has a table away from other people so you have privacy to act however you want.
Her hands are always playing with yours while you sit and wait for the food, talking about your days and typical ‘girly’ things.
Her smile is contagious while she talks about the new issues of vogue and the new Chanel products.
She is definitely paying. She wants to enjoy her time with you, without you worrying about the money.
Jolyne:
She LOVES going to retro diners and vintage restaurants.
She greets you with a heartfelt compliment and a bouquet of your favourite flowers, practically buzzing with happiness.
She’s wearing a nice top with dress pants, it’s not that she doesn’t like dresses, she just prefers pants.
Her eyes never leave you. Your lips, your face, your nose, your collarbones, she soaks up your entirety.
She loves to listen to you talk, conversing with you as much as possible with some appetizers before you order your main dishes.
She’s not super picky about the bill. She wants to pay, but will let you take some of the bill if you really want to.
Ermes:
She takes you to a nice, lively Mexican restaurant.
You and her have a nice evening, eating your dishes and jokingly giving feedback as if you were 5-star chefs.
She’s shared her dream of owning a restaurant with you, and you two point out things you would put in your own restaurant.
You two have some drinks and catch up on everything that you missed between the last time you saw each other.
She peppers kisses across your cheeks when you say goodbye, smudging a very faint trace of her lipstick all over your face.
She also pays the bill, shushing you with a smooch when you try to complain.
F.F:
She would LOVE to take you to her favourite places.
She orders tons of different food, sprawling it across the table for you two to share and dig into.
She has at least 5 different drinks, trying and rating them all after giving you some of it. Your opinion definitely effects the rating.
Her favourite thing is spending the whole evening with you, just talking and trying out tons of different things.
She fidgets a lot with everything. Your hands? She’s holding them and running her hands over your knuckles. Your legs? She’s playing footies with you beneath the table, gently nudging you while she talks.
She doesn’t mind paying, but prefers to split the bill.
Weather Report:
Adores taking you to quiet, fancy restaurants where the two of you can chat freely without disruption.
He has the nicest clothes omg his suit is designer and he looks amazing.
He'll request flowers to be brought to the table before you guys get there.
He prefers to listen to you talk, vent, complain, or rant about things that you learned, he thinks it's so cute when you tell a story and trail off topic.
He always asks you to order for him since he speaks so softly, but if you have anxiety or anything he will 100% order. No questions asked.
He pays, but doesn't really care if you want to pitch in.
Anasui:
He prefers doing at-home fancy dinners so he's the only one you can pay attention to, but will also go anywhere you ask.
Gets jealous when the waiter makes you smile or laugh. He has this terrifying glare for just those kinds of situations and you'll never know why the waiter stopped making jokes cause he's sneaky with it.
He wants to match so everyone knows he's yours. If you wrap an arm around him or hold his hand over the table he melts.
He loves to have lighthearted conversations, deeper ones shouldn't be heard by others in his opinion.
He also takes you out pretty late, it's like a 7-8pm start and it ends whenever you two are finished, no rush.
He pays. He wants to spoil you so much and it you can't move an inch towards your wallet.
Johnny:
He takes you to a nice place, not super fancy, but somewhere you can both enjoy a relaxing dinner.
He's a fairly picky eater, but he likes Italian food and the kind of food he grew up with. He's open to try anything, but he won't always like it.
He’s not a fan of crowded or loud restaurants and he’s always careful so that news people and reporters don’t see you two.
If it’s before he got paralyzed, he knows he’s popular so he likes to show you off, wearing matching stuff or grabbing your waist.
If it’s after, sometimes he struggles to ask for accommodations for his wheel chair but as long as you’re there to help, he’s okay. Doesn’t show you off as much but still loves being beside you.
He usually pays, but isn’t opposed to splitting it either.
Gyro:
Surprise dinners! He’ll come home with a flower and tell you to go get ready and you two will go to a new place he saw on his way home.
He also love staying home and doing at-home fancy dinners, he’s an amazing cook and would love to teach you his family recipes.
Wine critic. He’ll order the best stuff and he knows his drinks so when you tell him you don’t like one, he’ll get the opposite and see if you like that better.
He’s so cheesy. He has the funniest stories and is always willing to tell you some of them.
Tried to do something to impress you, probably doing some cool fork magic trick he messes it up most of the time.
He always pays, says it’s against his morals to let his partner pay.
Hot Pants:
Actually really likes going to dinner, she would ask you out with a love note and a flower.
She wears a suit and looks SO FINE and encourages you to match with either a dress or a suit.
Her talks are usually about her day, sometimes stories from the church sneak in and they’re always interesting.
She love when you tell her about your day, even if it was boring or lame, she wants to hear it.
the rage in her eyes when the waiter tries asking for your number, he scurried away after the first time and you never had him again.
She pays most of the time, but if you convince her enough you can pay for like 10% of it.
Diego:
He’s LOVES showing you off, bragging to anyone he talk to during dinner.
Reporters are annoying, but he doesn’t exactly hide from them cause he thinks you deserve to be seen.
Food wise, he’s a bit of a carnivore and always orders the steaks. He encourages you to also try them.
He’s oddly posh while eating out, but you know his mischievous smirk when you see it.
He’s always sipping on a rum or whiskey, ordering you a glass of wine while you talk.
He always pays, not only does he want to treat you, but it would be a nightmare if the media saw you paying.

Rank the jojo villains from your favorite to least favorite I need to know now that I know Pucci is a favorite 👁
I’ll do my best here 😭
Favourite
- Pucci
- Kira (not my absolute favourite but is my muse)
- Dio
- Funny Valentine
- Toru
- Kars
- Diavolo
Least favourite
Listen, Diavolo is severely under-utilized and, unlike every other Jobro vs Jofoe, Giorno and Diavolo actually don’t have much at odds with one another. Symbolically maybe, but fundamentally,, not really. He’s kinda a weaker ver of what Kira already did best.
Though again I like all of the jjba villains that’s why I draw them so often pff so take all of this with a grain of salt. I feel like my opinions on all of them are too complex to have a true “ranked list”
#ask reply#conceptually Diavolo is cool#Doppio is the best part and we all know it#Diego I don’t consider a full villain but he’d be probably around Dio area#la squadra as a collective is very fun ‘villains’ they are probably just below Dio too

Jojo rankings because I don't think I actually shared my opinions on these before. Fuck it we ball.
Part ranks (for the record I think every part has its own merits and good bits, and I don't hate any of them)
1. Diamond is Unbreakable
2. Golden Wind/Vento Aureo (I CAN FIX HER)
3. Steel Ball Run
4. Stardust Crusaders
5. Stone Ocean
6. Battle Tendency
7. Jojolion (I CAN FIX HER TOO)
8. Phantom Blood
The Jojolands would be in-between gw/va and sbr as of writing
JoJo ranks (again, do not hate any JoJo)
1. Giorno Giovanna
2. Josuke Higashikata
3. Jolyne Cujoh
4. Johnny Joestar
5. Jonathan Joestar
6. Joseph Joestar
7. Gappy Higashikata
8. Jotaro Kujo (only in sdc, otherwise he is very beloved to me)
Jodio would be between Jolyne and Johnny, Dragona would be between Johnny and Jonathan
JoBro ranks
1. Yasuho Hirose
2. Okuyasu Nijimura & Koichi Hirose
3. Bruno Bucciarati & Guido Mista
4. Gyro Zeppelli
5. Ermes Costello & FF
6. Noriaki Kakyoin & Jean Pierre Polnareff
7. Robert E.O. Speedwagon (I AM SO SORRY)
8. Ceasar Zeppelli
Usagi & Paco would go between Gyro and Ermes & FF
JoFoe ranks (ok I actually hate some of these guys lol)
1. Yoshikage Kira
2. Dio Brando/DIO
3. Enrico Pucci
4. Kars
5. Funny Valentine (I hate him because he is an asshole in a not-fun way)
6. Diavolo (I hate him because he sucks as a villain)
7. Tooru (I hate him because Jojolion's ending is a mess)
For fun: What I actually ship (ranked by brainrot levels)
0. Jotaro x Therapy (MY OTP FOREVER)
1. Jonathan x Erina (they are the perfect tragedy and very under appreciated)
2. Gappy x Yasuho
3. Bruno x Abbacchio
4. Josuke x Okuyasu
5. Yukako x Koichi
6. Johnny x Gyro
7. Jolyne x Ermes x FF
8. Polnareff x Avdol
9. Jotaro x Kakyoin
10. Fugo x Narancia (depends on the day)
11. Paco x Charmingman (it's funny)
Also I appreciate Pucci x DIO as purely Pucci being in love with DIO one sidedly, not as a mutual relationship. I have a similar feeling towards Jonathan x Speedwagon but for different reasons. Oh and I did not add Caesar x Joseph because I swear to god I cannot remember Caesar's personality or even what he does it literally drives me insane idk how I did that 💀.
FOR RAGE: Ships I generally dislike for non-obvious reasons (most hatred -> least)
1. Hot Pants x Diego (Hot Pants is a very interesting and complex female character with a rich backstory and compelling ideals which is incredibly rare in jjba. Diego is a cunning and and tragic antagonist who was built upon his predecessor and made into such an insanely complex yet entertaining new form. This ship takes both of these characters and reduces them into nothing, especially Hot Pants. The scene shown as romantic between them gives me the ick. They both seem to mildly dislike eachother outside of their alliance and once they have that alliance I do not see any kind of chemistry. I could've disregarded this ship as nothing, a fandom shipper concoction that I would've simply ignored, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT PUTTING THESE TWO IN A ROMANCE REDUCES THEM BOTH. I AM A DINOPANTS HATER THROUGH AND THROUGH.)
2. Jolyne x Anasui (the difference between this ship and Yukako x Koichi to me is that Yukako is a 15 year old who changed for the better and fully admitted to being crazy while Anasui is a grown man wHO HAS MURDERED TWO PEOPLE WITHOUT REMORSE. JOLYNE RUN.)
3. Fugo x Giorno (Giorno is aroace to me, also I read The Scene and I can see where people are coming from but I don't get it personally, sorry. On a different note this ship is weirdly popular considering that it was spawned from a single scene in a non-canon light novel so idk what happened there, no hate in that particular statement just intense curiosity)
4. Kira x Diavolo (I get that these two are recluses but that makes them getting together make even less sense to me lol)
5. Trish x Giorno (aroace Gio truther and I see them as the ultimate brotp ever)
6. Dragona x Usagi (aroace Dragona truther)
7. Jotaro x Tonio (I don't understand this one at all but I kinda find it funny so points there ig)
8. Jonathan x Speedwagon (I don't actually hate this one, but I see it much differently from how the majority of the fandom does. Jonathan is straight to me, but Speedwagon is very gay and very in love with Jonathan. The yearning is one sided, another perfect tragedy. The reason why this ship is here is because it overshadows Erina entirely due to its popularity, and has kinda made Erina a niche character in the fandom which makes me sad)
Btw if you ship these things idgaf you are free to do how you please as long as you don't mischaracterize Hot Pants in your lil Dinopants whatevers please I beg of you
Ok, rankings over. Nobody asked for this but when inspiration strikes, I write stupid stuff.

I decided to answer some Jojo themed questions, I don't remember who initially posted them so I just want to clarify I did not make the original questions and if anyone knows who actually made the question list please tell me and I will credit them
Warning- spoilers for basically every part
Anyways lets begin
Which Jojo is your favourite?
Johnny Joestar
Who is your favourite Jobro?
Bruno Bucciarati
Which is your favourite part?
Stardust Crusaders (part 3)
What is your favourite opening?
I'm not 100% sure but I listen to Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town and Fighting Gold the most
Who is the best villain?
I can't decide between Kars and Kira
Which is the best animal?
IGGY
Who is the best child?
Hayato, he reminds me of when I was 11
Which is your favourite Zeppeli?
I can't choose between Caesar and Gyro
Which is your favourite Pillar Man?
Kars
Manga or anime?
Manga because it was Araki's original work and story, but the anime is a faithful adaptation in my opinion
Stand or hamon?
I think stands are better but I miss hamon, I'm not saying it always had to be a massive part of the story but I wish it could've gotten a few mentions other than Joseph using it a few times in part 3
Part you'd like more chapters of?
ALL OF THEM! Specifically I'd think it'd be cool if we got more "chilled out" scenes to show the relationships between the characters, not full on filler arcs but just a few more scenes of characters hanging out could be cool
If you had to live through a Jojo part which one would it be?
Part 4 because it only has a few villains (a lot of them being smaller villains and later being redeemed like Rohan, Yukako and Tamami) and it has the least amount of main character deaths
Red Fugo or Green Fugo?
I can't decide!
Favourite Jotaro outfit?
Part 3 outfit
Do you think Mikitaka is an alien or stand user?
Favourite Jojo stand?
Golden Wind
Favourite enemy stand?
Killer Queen
Favourite non Jojo stand?
Heavens door
What do you think is the most powerful stand?
Not sure
If you could have one stand for a day what would it be?
Heavens Door, I'd write down on everyone to give me money or buy things for me
Do you think any character deserved a different stand?
Yeah, I feel bad for that guy with Cheap Trick
Which is your least favourite stand?
I like all stands
Which Jojo would you get along with most?
As much as I'd like to say Jotaro, I feel literally every Jojo would get along with me APART from Jotaro, he'd probably think I was annoying. But if I had to choose one I'd say I'd get along with Jonathan the most
Favourite love interest for a Jojo?
Caesar Anasui
Which character do you think added most to the show?
Dio
Favourite anime scene?
The magnet scene the torture dance
Favourite manga scene?
The scene where Dio rejects humanity
Favourite arc?
The arc in part 2 where Joseph goes to Italy and meets Caesar and the pillar men for the first time
Least favourite arc?
The Vanilla Ice arc. Not because it was bad (it was really good actually) but its just really sad for me
Character that shouldn't have died?
I'm not sure whether this is in a "this character dying ruined the plot" thing or a "I wish this character hadn't died" thing, but I think majority of deaths in Jojo actually improve the plot and the characters developments even if they are sad
When it comes to characters I wish hadn't died not in a "it ruined the story" way but in a "I loved them so much they didn't deserve to die" way, here is my list:
-Jonathan
-Caesar
-Iggy
-Avdol
-Kakyoin
-Aya
-Shigechi (yeah he was annoying but he was just a kid)
-Abbachio
-Narancia
-Bruno
-basically everyone in part 6
-I haven't read any major characters deaths in part 7, 8 or 9 yet so I'm not sure
Saddest character death for you?
Most of them are sad but Jonathan, Caesar, most main character deaths in parts 3, 5 and 6 had me bawling in particular
So that's every Jojo question answered by me

midoriya, bakugou, ururaka, kouda, and aoyama x reader
part two to class 1a with a reader who is obsessed w jjba!
i did not realize previously to picking these characters out that i would give them almost all the same favorite jojo but i can defend my decisions and every reason i have for the answer is different
katsuki bakugou:
•knows what it is, has read the entire series AND WILL STRAIGHT UP LIE ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS!!!! his fav jojo is jotaro and his fav jobro is abbachio
•like. im so serious he will lie about it. if you ever bring it up he never involves himself in the conversation. only told you after a few months when y'all started getting closer and closer to dating <3
•doesn't have anything to say about your merchandise. might judge you for having so much but that's it. might even have his own merch
•won't mind that you jojo pose but will bitch about it
•he will judge you but still leave little jojos related things around where you will find them instead of giving them to you like a normal person
izuku midoriya:
knows what it is, loves it, and will absolutely fanboy over it with you!!! favorite jojo is giorno and favorite jobro is bruno or koichi
•will absolutely cosplay with you and do all types of stuff you want him to do. maybe one of the only people who can do the dio backbend.
•will cry in joy at seeing your collection, finally a fan just like him <3 his lil fanboy heart explodes when he sees your room for the first time!
•100% jojo poses with you and can do really complicated ones. (he does them to impress u like the cutie he is) so he will for sure do them in pictures with you too.
•y'all's dates are pretty much just going to merchandise stores for your respective interests tbh.
ochaco ururaka:
•i don't think she knows what it is. if she does know it's bc someone showed her post getting into ua. fav jojo would be also giorno. fav jobro would be reimi sugamoto
•if you guys watch it together i think she'd be Super interested in it!! probably falls in love with the show after you show it to her
•absolutely floored by your collection. doesn't even want to know the price of one thing let alone all of them together... thinks all the little plushies and everything are super cute tho!!!
•WILL MAKE U FLOAT WHILE DOING JOJO POSES W YOU!!! you guys fake recreate scenes it's so fun. a lot of y'all's dates will be just floating around having fun doing jojo fights and stuff !!
•will constantly bring up jjba and show u stuff related to it just to see u happy :( ugh i lovevher. also has a wishlist full of stuff to get you for bdays and other gift giving holidays
kouda koji:
•knows what it is has read the manga and will privately approach you to talk about it! favorite jojo is also also giorno favorite jobro is maybe foo fighters?
•aww imagine if like all his pets at home are named after jjba characters 🥺 idk if his bunny has a canonical name or if i'm just forgetting it but either way imagine him telling u all of their names and it's just a list of jojos stands
•also doesn't really have a reaction to your collection, will compliment you on some and be extra careful around the items but that's about it
•he will not do jojo poses with you in pics :( sorry :( he's just too nervous for that! but he supports you doing it and will take pictures of you doing them
•another person who doesn't really understand simping for fictional characters but doesn't say anything about it, whatever makes u happy! will show you things that remind him of your fav characters <3
aoyama
•has absolutely no idea what it is. favorite jojo would be ALSO also also giorno! fav jobro is polnareff. fucking obviously. no other option.
•might be a little freaked out at first by it, but quickly gets into it during part two and three! he's SUPER dramatic through the whole viewing tho!! is so dramatic about all of his reactions but he's cute so it's okay
•honestly might be the second most excited about your collection. deku is the first duh. bc i think aoyama would be super into collecting items esp cheese and just because he might not collect long lasting stuff doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate a good collection!!
•loves jojo posing with you in pictures, will do any that you ask him to do, you didn't even have to ask him to join you before he just. did it himself.
•gives you cheese shaped like your favorite characters. don't ask

what makes steel ball run your favorite jjba part? <3
HIIIII GOOD JOJO MORNING and thank you for giving me a question to ponder over my toast this morning hehe 💏☕️
I've said it before but the main reason I love jojo in general has more to do with how fun it is to watch araki evolve his approach to storytelling and his art style from part to part...like jojo is silly and fun and by no means a perfectly executed story, but I think araki is uniquely radical in his creative approach in a way that's thrilling to watch! a big part of my enjoyment of sbr stems from the fact you can tell it's the product of 20 years of araki experimenting with his approach to major & minor character writing, fight construction, pacing, weaving in & delivering on themes, working with setting & his chosen genre in an engaging way, using paneling & art style to create atmosphere, etc. and he's able to deliver on nearly every front. it's by no means a perfect story (beginning is painfully slow, the zombie horse & magic thread that appeared exactly once, final fight happening AFTER the story's emotional climax, etc.), but when considered within the context of parts 1-7, it's his most well-rounded & complex work by far imo - that's played a huge role in my enjoyment of it!
and then of course there's specific aspects to steel ball run that are kind of like catnip to me personally!
johnny not being an easily likeable protagonist, and who has a character arc more complex than "selfish guy learns about the meaning of friendship" - too much to go into for this ask, but I particularly love how at the start of sbr johnny's perspective on his life and purpose is coming from a place of deep pain & a feeling of helplessness over his ability to exert control over his life...there's no short, clear path to fixing the psychological impact of his cold upbringing, the guilt & sense of responsibility he felt for his brother's death, the way the artificial sense of self-worth he obtained through celebrity backfired horribly on him, the abuse and abandonment he experienced after he was paralyzed. his arc isn't about trying to leave all this behind and transforming him into a perfect, fixed person - it's a bumpy road!! even as he grows, throughout sbr we see him continue to be selfish, irresponsible, lacking in confidence, overly reliant on others, even violent. and of course he has to grapple with obtaining and losing the corpse parts over & over again, and what that implies for his internal sense of meaning. I think the conflict he has about valentine's offer in their final fight (trying to avoid spoilers about specifics but AUGH) is one of my favorite character moments in all of jojo because it perfectly illustrates how despite all the growth he's experienced with gyro during the race, there is still a part of him that will have to fight against the impulse to let his pain, guilt, and perceived lack of agency drive his actions. by the end of sbr he's become a person who is more at peace with himself, someone with a quiet confidence and sense of purpose and agency he's had to build from scratch - he's taken the long way, but the shortest road is the detour. best jojo forever TO MEEEE
johnny & gyro as co-protagonists as opposed to primary and secondary characters. they are hands down the best written jojo & jobro duo, one really could not carry the story without the other. the way gyro's lessons and how they're delivered (and to an extent, tusk's evolution as well) represent key points in the growth of johnny and gyro together and as individuals....crying wailing gnashing my teeth because there's a million things I could say about this but I'd like to direct everyone to this wiki entry because whoever wrote it composed an entire essay that says it better than I ever could
the sbr race as a west to east affair instead of an east to west affair, it turns the western genre on its head a bit in a way I find really satisfying. steel ball run masquerades as a story about adventure, but its emotional core is about the characters taking the long way back home to themselves - to do this, they have to go far away from their physical roots (both east of the race's starting point) and must take a long time to return. it adds an even more bittersweet element to johnny's final action of delivering gyro's body back to his family in naples. beyond being the decent thing to do, it's an act that honors the work gyro did to figure out how the ability and duty that's been placed on his shoulders can be used in a way that doesn't require him to abandon the compassion, optimism, and even the struggles that make him who he is - this is the emotional weight & character significance the act of returning home holds in sbr's story
the side characters are genuinely interesting, they have their own fleshed out reasons for being in the race that are actually relevant to the story. they're not all perfectly executed (justice for soundman -_-) but it makes for a much more dynamic feeling cast and a more engaging read!
the mid-to-late sbr art style is my favorite by far. it feels so cinematic and adds a sense of drama that's so fitting for the setting and genre! the real turning point for me was gyro's fight with ringo roadagain, where araki starts using more close up, highly detailed "shots" and adds dialogue only sparingly to create a palpable sense of tension appropriate for a shootout. it's spectacular
once you get past the first like 30 chapters (ouch) almost every fight has a sense of relevance and purpose to the larger story. sbr's fights might not be the most bombastic in concept compared with other jojo parts, but I much prefer a fight where the stakes can really be felt to a fight that seems to be stuck in there so araki can explore some fun stand idea. sbr gets bonus points in my book for having some incredible fights where the emotional stakes are especially high - sugar mountain arc's shootout with the eleven men, civil war, johnny vs valentine to name a few!
ARGH I could go on and on but these are just some of the big reasons sorry for the essay ily 💕💋
#when I say don't get me started...#sbr#jjba#(also disclaimer for everyone that I'm excluding part 8 when I compare sbr to other jojo parts bc I haven't finished it yet)
