Day 3 of the Jotakak Week on Twitter

Mer AU

[geronimomo-spd]

you all can have fun with your "they both wanna get a dick in" (hilarious i love it) and "Rohan wants to fuck him/be with him so bad and Jotaro has no clue/is like sure whatever" Jotahan

ill be here in the corner with my queer platonic, gentle and quiet jotahan, an allo aro Rohan that enjoys being with someone who doesn't pressure him to be his boyfriend and appriciates their deeper connection because of it and Jotaro who is enjoying being with a person who he doesn't need to preform romantic behaviors with.

two social outsiders for diffent reasons meeting and delevoping a connection where they both have someone they can rely on in a way they never expirianced before, having someone in your corner, a queer platonic and sexual relatinship that is very subtle to an outsider, unless you are Josuke Hikashikaga and if you are, its time for Rohan to act the most romantic person on the planet just to fuck with him.

Rohan, who just never really saw the point of love unless its for research, but every time someone approched him he was like- ew oh no. Rohan, who is extremely involved in the gay comunity but knows he is diffrent, who just wishes someone will just have adiffrent type of gay relationship with him. even though he would rather die then talk to people and keep deep connections with them usually.

and Jotaro, where he slowly gets closer to Rohan when he asks him for help with some aqatic memmals reserch for his manga and finds Rohan's attitude, (where he is not around Josuke of course) to be a sort of fresh air, and they both sort of... slowly find each other connecting to one another. (hmmm still working on that)aro rohan is

its all in my brain yet its so real to me

mertaro: *crawls over* "what is this bachelor degree you speak of? Is it a degree that has not yet found a mate?"

It is actually a degree in nursing.

Y’know, so that I can properly let pups nurse and look after them and all

jotaro and kakyoin but merman au

anthropology student kakyoin who is undergoing physical therapy after a horrific car accident makes a friend when swimming in the sea to get exercise without hurting his back which inspires him to start new work and new health habits and maybe even fall in love. later he gets his phd with a paper about mer culture that his now-husband jotaro helped him with and vice versa jotaro gets his own fish degree from his fish underwater university with a paper about land-human physiology with kakyoin's help

[earthbovndmisfit]

in the mer joestar aquarium au jotaro hates being carried by humans because he feels so vulnerable so he opts to crawl around when on land with his big strong arms and he is very stubborn

Considering all/most Jobros work at the aquarium, I think this would be the perfect scenario for him and Kak to start bonding. Just think about it:

Jotaro doesn't like to be seen or taken as a vulnerable being. He doesn't want to depend on others even though he knows it's basically unavoidable at this point to depend on their caretakers one way or another for as long as they stay at the aquarium/on land.

Naturally, and despite how smooth the floors may be at the aquarium to make it easy for the mermen to move around if/whenever they wish to, moving around like that and crawling all over the place all the time will definitely end up causing some damage to their tails, as they're not made for that kind of treatment (hence why the caretakers are always willing to help them around).

So, Jotaro will definitely end up with a lot of scratches and cuts and bruises on his tail. Cuts and scratches that he will try to brush off and just pretend they don't exist. But, of course, they need to be taken care of as to prevent some kind of infection (especially considering the bacteria and etc on land are not the same as underwater, and so merpeeps might be at higher risk of infection if they catch one of those bugs).

This is where Kakyoin and him can bond and become closer. Normally, Jotaro doesn't allow Kak to carry him around, and Kak doesn't press further as not to annoy the hell out of him. Still, by the end of the day, the two sit together by Jotaro's tank where Kak will help him get his tail cleaned and then he will proceed to patch him up if he needs to (it's usually not that bad, so normally it's just the cleaning process, and maybe a band aid here and there).

The first times, they were probably mostly silent, with Kak doing some of the talking while Jotaro only gave monosyllabic answers, and toughening through any pain or discomfort he felt. Then, as days go on, Jotaro's little hisses whenever he feels a stinging on the bruise that's being cleaned would become a subtle indication that he's opening up more, especially when it becomes evident that he only does this with Kak and no one else (meaning that he's become comfortable enough around Kak to the point where he can allow himself some vulnerability around him). And so, Kak would begin to try to talk and get more words out of him. It's a slow process compared to other Jojos and their caretakers, but they get along well and, sooner than later, they become quite close to the point where maybe, just maybe, Jotaro will let Kak help him around the aquarium (and, of course, he will be the only one allowed to do so!).

Cue Jotaro later on trying to come up with some bullshit excuse as to why he hasn't gone back to the sea if he really doesn't want humans to help him around. Or why he will only let Kak help him, for that matter lol

All JoJos put together!

Jonathan Joestar: Head of the Joestar progenitor pod, considered one of the largest mermen in history at a whopping 62 feet in length. His pod extends over several different oceans and includes the Stardust, Green Dolphin, Morioh and Passione sub-pods — he frequently makes trips between each of these sub-pods, generally to visit the other members of his bloodline and coddle their hatchlings. Furthermore, because Jonathan has a unique mix of Caretaker and Protector instincts, he also finds himself tailing ships and swimming around other aquatic vessels in an effort to defend or help them in their endeavors.

Joseph Joestar: As Jonathan’s grandson and the 3rd largest of his kin (54 feet), technically Joseph is lined up to take over the main Joestar bloodline once Jonathan gets too old/passes away — he has no intentions of doing this. He split off from the main Joestar pod once he became mature, and created a smaller pod with a man (mer) named Caesar for a spell. Ceasar helped Joseph in his battle against 4, nearly ancient Leviathan mers, resulting in severely broken ribs and collarbone for Ceasar while Joseph went missing for several months. When he turned back up, he was missing his right arm from the elbow down and swimming in a slightly tilted gait. After that, he co-created another pod with his own grandson, the Stardust Crusaders, and followed them around until he heard about his half Siren son at which point he joined the Morioh pod for a bit and picked up a little fry with a unique “glass flesh” mutation that he went on to name Shizuka.

Jotaro Kujo: Unique among mers for the fact that he has a color changing mutation, and he’s partially immune to Coaxing Siren Songs — they’re unsure as to exactly what caused this, but they’ve speculated that it’s a recessive gene from Holly. He’s INCREDIBLY dense with muscle and about the same size as Joseph. Travelled from Japan’s coasts to Africa’s in search for a cure for his mother’s sudden illness, eventually surrendering her to a facility in Egypt. For the month and a half that they were staying there, they were repeatedly under siege by followers (not pod, followers) of Dio, eventually resulting in a battle that left Avdol a double arm amputee, Kakyoin partially blind in both eyes, and Polnareff missing fins on his left side. In the years following, Jotaro stayed with the Stardust Crusaders off the coasts of Japan, taking care of his less able bodied podmates — he has Jolyne at some point, but both Jotaro and Joseph have to temporarily separate from them to check out Josuke in Morioh and deal with the serial murders of merfolk in vicinity. A few years later, he checks in on Giorno at Jonathan’s request along with Polnareff — Pol stays behind to help integrate Giorno with the Speedwagon Foundation and get the rest of Giorno’s new pod under control. Years later with the remaining Crusaders (and the addition of Shizuka) Jotaro helps Jolyne and her mother finish up agreements with the Green Dolphin Rehabilitation Center, the Crusaders deciding to settle down in a territory just outside of where Jolyne settles.

[jojos-bizarre-sirens]

hi here's some super old sketches of mer jotaro and josuke being bastards

[aliensandanxiety]

Pirate Jotaro having a longing for the sea because of that small bit of merfolk heritage in him from Jonathan.

And hell, Jonathan suffered enough in canon, here he lives and gets to meet his part-human descendants 🥲

FISH GRANDPA.

Pirate Jotaro can still be a nerd for ocean stuff but now he gets to be on a boat all the time. Imagine mer Kakyoin showing him all the sea creatures and bringing him shells 🥺

[a-stars-art-blog]

BAHAHAHA THE MERMAID BEACH EPISODE

they're all just flopping around on the beach and the enemy stand user tries their best to prevent them from reaching the water and leaving them stuck on land where they're helpless. joseph tries the Secret Joestar Technique but can only flop around like a magikarp. of course jotaro eventually manages to crawl to the sea and he's an absolute swimming ace once he's in water and gets the upper hand like a decent ocean man

imagine if the mermaid effect affects their stands too and now Star Platinum is a killer whale. ORCAORCAORCAORCAORCA

and after they beat the guy they're still stuck as mers for a while so they decide to might as well just enjoy and make the most of their new tails for however long they last

Bonus: (I couldn't think of alts for Avdol's and Pol's stands sorry sdalfjasd;lkfj)

[squishosaur]

hnghhh that coral sea event doodle tho. idk if you're into jojo part 3 but now i can't unsee the stardust crusaders as mers. jotaro would be an orca, kakyoin a parrotfish, polnareff a swordfish and avdol a lionfish

not a huuuuge part 3 fan but i will admit that i like polnareff

[starry-blue-echoes]

so we've made the jojos were...creatures...vampires, what else? I think the next logical step is making them mermaids when they get water on them. the merstars

B E T

for extra fun, what if they're like. The mildly eldritch Giant mermaids. Like, the ones that could hold a human in the palm of their hand

just. The Joestar family are essentially literal legends. Jonathan used to be Dio's friend and companion, protecting his ship and crew by swimming alongside them until one day he was betrayed and his skeleton was then hung up like a skeleton and ever since the family has distanced themselves from humans, save for Speedwagon and Erina since they were Jonathan's close friends

now the whole series has been shoved to the water. Maybe George II was a half-human who just kept growing until he had to be moved to he water permanently, but fell in love with his childhood friend Elizabeth who would visit him and even bought a home on the seaside. Maybe one day she was followed and George was slaughtered, and while she was able to get revenge she was forced on the run to escape legal repercussions

now thanks to Erina and Speedwagon she lives on an island far by the coast and almost an hour away from anyone else where she does her best to teach and raise her son in peace. Being only 1/4 mer Joseph could probably pass as a human, albeit a pretty large one, but there are some traits he struggles to hide should any person try to get too close, like having slightly strange eyes and patches of scales and gills

Suzie was a mer who'd pass through at regular times in the year and she and Joseph slowly fell in love with each other. They'd go on long swims into the sunset and stare at all kinds of plant life. Joseph would bring Susie all kinds of Land Foods to share and he learns how to cook specifically so he can share it with her. Susie tells him all about her travels around the world and deep in the ocean and brings back souvenirs. It didn't surprise anyone when they announced their marriage and Joseph purchased a boat so he and Susie could travel together

Holly grew up in the ocean and on a boat. She would swim alongside her mother and father as they travelled, going where she pleases. Susie and Joseph weren't surprised when she fell in love with the musician who would always play his songs by the sea. When Jotaro is born, he has a sort of a split custody of sorts. For the school year he lives with his father on land and attends human classes, and then during the summer break and any other long breaks he travels the ocean with his mom and interacts with other mers

Fibsh People Go Brrrr

[ask-dr-kujo]

Dr Kujo, have ever thought about there might be an alternative universe where you were a merman, protecting your daughter, who is a mer-minnow? I have, since I always think of the fact there are multiple universes, each one different and not similar to each other.

It's possible, I guess. There's no way mermaids actually exist, but maybe in another universe..

If so, I hope they're happy..

I wanna be a MERMAID!! They're so cool!!

Mertaro and Mer Y/N as childhood friends. Always loving to explore the coasts and shallows under Grandpa Joseph's watchful eye ❤

So I’m currently sick while writing this and really have no energy to beta read. I’m really sorry if this is bad, I didn’t really have any clue what to do with this request but I tried my best ;-;

I hope you can still somewhat enjoy 👉👈

Word Count: 1095

A flurry of bubbles whooshed by Joseph as he calmly sat on the sand, feeling the warmth of the sun filtering through the shallow water.

Seated right near the edge of the beach, the surface of the water lapped a mere few centimetres above his head while he watched - a warm smile on his face - as his grandson chased his friend.

“You can’t catch me, pirate!” You yelled excitedly, dashing away from the raven-haired boy right on your tailfin.

“Come here!” Jotaro yelled back, his tiny hands making a grab for you, just barely missing your tail as you squeezed just that bit of extra power into your swishes.

Laughter and giggles filled the air and Joseph held a fond look.

He’d taken the pair of you out to the island not far from the pod territory. It had always been his philosophy that different environments were good for a pup’s development and well- you both had seen most of what the island in the pod’s territory had to offer already.

Suddenly, a smell in the water alerted Joseph.

Sitting up slightly, his eyes darted from the playing children over to the surrounding area, surveying the sand and coral for whatever his nose picked up.

Ever so carefully, he placed his hand on the sand, pushing himself to drift forward as he narrowed his eyes, scanning around, his scales raising a bit in agitation.

With slow side-to-side movements from his tail, he stalked through the vegetation of the shallows, following his nose to somewhere on the left of the pups.

He didn’t want to scare or alarm them, knowing that if they scattered, he couldn’t keep both in his periphery, where he could keep them safe.

Making the calculations in his head, right at that moment, Joseph saw it.

Coming from behind a rock, the large and sleek head of a barracuda slid out. It’s teeth sharp and eyes dull and Joseph’s heart dropped.

The fish was old and judging from the smell he picked up - diseased. As it slid out further, the older Mer felt a growl grow in his throat as he took it in. Measuring at what must be three times the length of the pups, it had its sights set on the small Mer.

A healthy barracuda would never have Mer on the menu, but this wasn’t that. It was old and sick, and it heard a noisy and seemingly easy meal that it was gonna get.

Watching in horror, Joseph looked on as the fish tensed its muscles and he instantly shot forward, seconds before the barracuda.

The fish noticed the large Mer just in time however. Still fast from its ambush speed, it evaded the elder’s grasp, turning its slender body before Joseph could sink his claws into it.

“Shit!” Joseph hissed, turning with the fish and going in pursuit.

Though it was old and slow, they were in shallow water, on top of the fact that the sawfish Mer knew he couldn’t get bitten, lest he contract whatever the barracuda was ill with.

And all the while he chased the predator fish, the pups continued playing, unaware of their environment or the dangers going on.

-

“You’re going down, evil fish!” You yelled out as you chased Jotaro, the roles reversed as you were now playing the pirate - holding a piece of coral to imitate a weapon.

It had always been one of your favourite stories to listen to together. Sitting on the sand side by side while Holly spun majestical tales of pirates and adventure- the humans who came closest to living with Mer.

While you were chasing, Jotaro suddenly ducked behind a rock, making you slow down as you gripped the coral. Carefully, you began rounding the rock, looking for him, only to suddenly be ambushed from the side.

Shrieking out as Jotaro bashed into your waist, the two of you spun out of control together, laughing and wrestling together as your tail curled around his in your attempt to get free.

Spinning through the water in a ball of limbs, neither of you realised the rip tide.

Suddenly, the water’s pull took a hold of you both.

Widening his eyes, Jotaro grabbed onto your hands, keeping his tail tightly curled around yours as you were dragged away from the safe shores.

“What’s going on!” You chittered in panic, looking up at Jotaro who was breathing quickly, doing better to hide his own.

“Just hold on!” He clicked, trying to look around for anything to grab hold of. “Grandpa!”

Neither of you had ever experienced the under current before, too new to the world.

Vulnerable and just trying to hold onto each other, you and Jotaro were continuously trapped in the cycle of water. Lifted up in the large waves before being swept under and spun around, scraping past rocks and coral.

Even worse, sea foam was starting to gather and flurry all around, some of it getting into your gills, making it hard to breathe.

The moment your left gill got shut off, your fear truly took over and you started crying while Jotaro hugged you tighter, hiding his face in your shoulder and holding on for dear life while letting out the emergency clicks he’d always been taught.

-

Huffing out a sigh, Joseph leaned back on some rocks, catching his breath while he dropped the body of the barracuda into the sand.

He was getting too old for chasing such swift prey.

Grunting softly, he then got up again, dragging his tail through the sand and throwing a whole cloud over the fish, not wanting other creatures to get sick from whatever it is the barracuda had. Yet right as he did that, a distant yet oh so familiar noise reached him.

Instantly at full alert, Joseph flicked his tail and rushed through the water, honing in on the emergency call of his grandson. “Jotaro! Y/N!” He called out, swimming way past where he last left the both of you before rounding a corner and spotting you both.

Stuck in the undercurrent of a crashing wave, the patriarch saw the pups currently under his wing.

“Hang on!” He frantically called out, racing over and grabbing hold of you two, turning around and swimming out of the current with ease, holding on and hiding your terrified forms within his arms.

With Jotaro digging his nails into his right arm and you sobbing in his left, Joseph was left with nothing but the thought of how he was going to explain this fiasco to both parents.

[thegayestcat]

I wanna focus on one jjba fic rn and try to get something out but idk what 😫

Like do I want my mer au that has like each part included (Jonathan and Joseph are full mers, Jotaro and Josuke are half, Jolyne is a third human, and Giorno is a third mer)

Or do I wanna do my lil mythology au about part 5 where Bruno is a siren/sea witch, Abba is an elf, Fugo is a huldra, Narancia is a changeling, Mista is a werewolf, Giorno is half vamp and half kitsune, and Trish is half angel half demon

You can find the art and character cards under my fantasy au and siren au tags but I'm also open to questions about each au :3c

Both are just so fun but I dunno which one to focus on!!

[sapphire-heart-tippy]

I'm thinking in the Fantasy AU Oingo and Boingo are half-giant and half-dwarf brothers, except Oingo takes more on the giant side of the family and Boingo takes more on the dwarf side 🤣

Also in the Mer AU: since the Joestars are sharks and Oingo disguised as Jotaro, I'm imagining Oingo being half great white shark, and Boingo being half salmon shark (look them up, they're like mini great whites and they're strangely adorable 😂)

Sounds like a plan, friendo!! 😎✨
