#he’s just not… ruining your sons 16th birthday by making him paranoid of everyone around him type of flawed

If your Bruce Wayne doesn’t hold such a deep care that’s too big for his heart and that bleeds into every aspect of his life, relationships and interactions and defines his character, that’s not Bruce Wayne. That’s his evil clone Bryce Wine. Bryce Wine has been created by the Evil to destroy Bruce Wayne’s image and reputation😔.

If you ever find yourself in a comic thinking “Batman wouldn’t do that, that goes against his whole point as a character and person! He’s moving like a literal supervillain” do not fret, for you have been deceived by the evil conniving manipulator Bryce Wine and the beloved Bruce Wayne will be taking him down expeditiously🙏🏼

Dear Tricia💚 may I ask about your thought/theory about Doppio/Diavolo’s origin? I just.... cannot still make any sense of it (not like it should, with this all being JoJo). So his mother didn’t have sex for 2 years but then ~magically~ was on labour? then the kid was a creepo? and then, after at least 15 years, the mother is suddenly under the church tiled floor?? plis help me i look like the algebra lady meme

Hiiiiiii darling! :3 oooooooooooh, this is such a good question, A H, I love iittttt *.* and FEEL YA?? Like yeah Doppio/Diavolo has to have a mysterious and inexplicable backstory, but HM?? *big squint* SO! Let’s pour here the various theories I have about this fact 👀 hoping not to blurt just uncoherent babblers!

So, about the “two years of pregnancy”... I know that a lot of people in the fandom theorize that this happened because the baby had “two souls”, so the pregnancy had been longer because of this. I frankly find it fascinating, but dunno. It doesn’t convince me 100%. And so I thought about something more “plausible” (even if plausible things sound even weirder in the jojoverse) and this is my thought about how Doppio’s mom got pregnant and gave birth to her son while she was in jail: I don’t think and it doesn’t seem that Doppio’s mom was in isolation, so she could receive visits. She could have had a boyfriend before being thown in jail and maybe this boyfiend came to see her? And, with the complicity of a guard -a corrupted police member wouldn’t be anything new, all in all-, well... things happened and Doppio was conceived. But how explain the fact that she didn’t know about being pregnant? Searching around, there are various cases of women that, sometimes, didn’t know to be pregnant even just before the delivery. Symptoms usually associated to pregnancy, such as sore back and bones, nausea, headache, general irritability could not manifest and sometimes even period doesn’t “stop” completely. So, she may not have got “typical” pregnancy syptoms and, with the fact that pregnancy belly may not show, she may have gone on her merry way to the delivery without knowing to be pregnant. Of course she couldn’t say “oh y’annow, I had a quickie with my boyfriend while your colleague X watched around”, so she had to lie and apparently reveal a sort of “miraculous” pregnancy? Not that the other guards asked a lot about it, in any case. The baby must be sent away as fast as possible.

So, here we come to the second point: Doppio’s mother under the church floor. So so, I usually hc Doppio as the main personality and, for long time, as the only personality. I think that Diavolo personality developed slowly during Doppio’s childhood. Doppio grew up in a small village where turists didn’t come -it’s common in Sardinia, there are tons of very small villages, my dad’s village is really small too- and, in so small villages, prejudices and, even more, gossips run faster than wind. So I’d not be surprised that, even if the priest tried to keep Doppio’s mother’s identity as a secret, his real identity as son of a prisoner spread like a wild fire in a matter of days. And so, prejudices: no one wanted his son or daughter to play or stay near to the son of an inmate. ‘Cause he could have inherited his mother’s “evilness”, ‘cause he was already marked. And so, always in my opinion, Doppio grew up alone. He only had this “imaginary friend” that called him on the phone, but the priest never worried about it, ‘cause it was a game, ‘cause Doppio was just a child -and even if the priest tried to stay with him as much as possible, nothing could replace other children’s company- and he was alone and wanted to play, so he had invented that phone game and his imaginary friend. Yes, the fact that this friend was, apparently, called “Diavolo” concerned a bit the priest, but not to the point to take him to a therapist. It was an innocent game, all in all. What could go wrong?

And so Diavolo personality grew and grew inside Doppio, slowly occuping more and more space in his mind. It became something fundamental for his sanity, it became his... everything. And both Doppio and his best friend Diavolo always blamed Doppio’s mother for everything bad it had happened to them. Their loneliness, their invisible shame mark, the bullies that made their life impossible... it was all her fault.

And now I personally think that let’s say arount Doppio’s 15-16th birthday, his mother finished her period in prison and got out. The first thing she did was to search for her son, as she knew that he had been sent to Sardinia, her homeland. She found him right in her village of origin; she wanted to apologize, or at least to explain, but her son wasn’t on the same line as her. Here there was the reason why his life had always been so miserable. Here, in front of him, there was the reason of all his sufference. His past always marked him, making him an outsider: it had to be erased. And how to do it? Making her disappear. I think that THIS is the point when Diavolo personality became so powerful, finally overcoming Doppio and taking possession of his body. He made his own mother disappear, hiding her under the floor, but never finding the courage to actually kill her, as there was still something, call it a sparkle of humanity, a sparkle of affection for the woman who gave him life, that always blocked him from killing her. All in all, he was safe: his past was now hidden and no one would have ever seen her again or found about her. But then the priest found out about her, he literally exhumed his protege’s past: this was something neither Doppio or Diavolo could accept. The priest had seen his mother, the living proof of his past: he had to die. And with him everyone who knew that he was the son of a prisoner had to die. If everyone died, he would not have been marked anymore. He would have been free, free from his past, free from prejudices and sufference and loneliness. If no one knew who he was, he could have been who he wanted, with no limits, with no one here to put him down by calling him evil just ‘cause he was the son of his mother. His past was what always prevented him to get a normal life, so it had to disappear, with every single one who knew about it. Now he wasn’t the son of a prisoner, he wasn’t a bullied kid, he wasn’t the lonely child who talked on an imaginary phone: he was the boss of the most powerful criminal organization of all Italy, he reached the highes peaks and he became what he wanted to be, building for himself a new identity, a new life, and nothing, not even his own child, could ruin it.

This is how also I explain his paranoid behaviour towards his past! And boiiii it came out looooong... I hope it doesn’t sound too ramblish and there’s something that makes sense!!
