[antagonisht]

stands as embodiments of cool shonen abilities are great and all and i generally really like the various powers and designs they all have but i think where they really shine are in the idea of your soul manifested as your companion and partner (barely explored in canon, really fun when it does come up ie with stands like spice girl and sort of whitesnake) and in the body horror department (done so so well in parts, even if characters never really respond as if they understand how horrifying the abilities are - in the forms of things like tusk, doggy style, whitesnake AGAIN bc he's really the best villain stand ever except for the even more horrifying and perfect wonder of u) and i just realised i don't have somewhere i'm going with this i'm just sick and i opened new post.

actually i think i was just going to say both of these being great potentials of stands and also being underutilised as things actually explored by the narrative means that they're so fun to write and think about. like basically any character's understanding and experience of having a stand is so interesting...does anyone take care of their stand...do they see them as extensions of themselves or separate things...is anyone uncomfortable with how visible their appearances and ability make their secret desires and insecurities...
