#mer jojo au

[noirkat]

Thoughts on Jodio and Dragona from Jojolands as merpeople? ❤️

I’m still not completely sure of how they’ll work into the au. But I definitely feel like they’d be half mers!

Would this be mean to make?

Hi hi hello!! I just wanted to say that I adore your art, specifically your mer!Jonathan art!! Is there a story behind all the au characters that you’ve drawn so far, or a plot you have in mind for the au beyond silly hijinks and shenanigans? /gen

Regardless, thank you for sharing this au with us here!!

Thank you!! :D

It was someone else's suggestion to begin with, and I rolled in the brainrot for a bit, and then rolled along more with what others continued suggesting. Now there've been so many neat takes (half of which are still in my inbox im sorry i don't know how much i'll get to) that I can't decide between this or that and have just taken to being goofy about it. I think the selling point of pirate era aus like this is in how believably you can execute the background lore, historically and otherwise, and I'm not very good at that, so there's a point where it gets hard to imagine the scenarios properly...

But yes if there were to be a linear story within the au, I'd love it very much, that would be the best version of it. The sexy period au with mature themes, deep feelings, and dark sea lore. A girl who is just a bit jaded and aloof who meets someone so completely out of her depth (literally) that she can't help developing a fascination, new and unexpected feelings, allowing herself the vulnerability of love, etc. I don't picture her being super edgy or anything, just maybe not being in touch with her feelings, or not used to having relationships she feels she can be vulnerable in. Like. I genuinely think the most important part of the au is Erina. It could be point-for-point Phantom Blood, mermaidified and liberties taken, but Erina being a pirate is the special spin that makes it unique and adds all the new spice to the dynamic.

Tl;dr, I don't trust myself to create the version of the au that I'd like the most so I'm just vibing and having fun (admittedly also why jonathan's only fishy feature is his tail, in this house we do in fact enjoy a mer design with more fishy features)

I turned your Fugo into a fish. Sorry. Hope thats alright.

Naramis but merman AU. Narancia is half clownfish and Mista is half tiger shark (and the Pistols are remoras). Both love to hang out near the shore and prank humans, occasionally stealing land people stuff and pilfering land food off the pier.

i have not stopped thinking about this ask since i got it btw. you were right. about everything. all of it.

Been seeing quite a few Jojo mer AUs depicting Jonathan as part whale shark and decided to hop on the bandwagon! It does fit him really well, being a big, blue gentle giant dotted with white spots that look like stars. :)

Not the best year. I didn’t make as much art as I wanted due to my final year of school and then losing my dad. Hopefully 2025 will be better.

January: Introduced a new Jojo OC, Bistecca February: LotL AU Melone March: My first ZBrush project, mer Tugtupite April: Mer Prosciutto May: Some cuddly RisoProMelo June: Comic about Farfalle and their stand ability July: Introduced Panini’s sister Zuppa August: Maxixe art September: Some of the La Squadra Pokemon team October: Redrew/redesigned my Danny Phantom OC Steph November: New La Squadra art redraw December: Redrew RisoPro piece

Can you draw merman Jodio?

He’s definitely on the list because I wanna eventually draw all the jojos as mers, but I’ll have to think of a design for them first 💕

[earthbovndmisfit]

Yay you're anwering asks again! Which seem to be old ones lol.

On the idea of mer Jonawagon where Jonathan is the human and Speedwagon is the merman, perhaps the rest of the Ogre Street gang could be mers as well, living in tightly-knit pods like orcas and coming into conflict with seagoers who see them as "monsters"? And with Jonathan as a human Dio would make a great human antagonist too, perhaps being a hunter of the mers who despises Jonathan for empathizing with them.

Perhaps Jonathan's meeting with them could play out like it did in canon PB, with them initially attacking him as an intruder to their turf before he shows mercy and kindness to their leader, thus earning their friendship.

Last one seemed to be from a couple weeks ago, but there are a lot that are a year old or more…. (sorry!!! bad brain has been an absolute bitch all of 2024 so far)

I really like your idea nonny!! I feel like the Ogre Street guys don't get the love and appreciation they deserve and I'm more than happy to be able to include them in these AUs too! I like the idea of them all being a gang still. They already have some intimidating appearances in the og, and that would definitely add to their mer versions as well. Seagoers would think of them at monsters at first sight, especially if they aren't familiar with merpeople or other "non-conventional" sea creatures, I'm sure 😔️ They -along with Speedwagon- would probably be outcasts on land at best (probably back at home too if they happen to be criminals or other types of "pariah"), and I think that could add to their bond with Jonathan, who thinks of them as friends (and more, in Speedwagon's case of course 🤭️💕️).

Idk if this idea was thought to be part of the Sailor Jona/Mer Speedwagon scenario?? But if so, then we can mesh both ideas and have Jona and Spw meet the way mentioned in the other post. They start getting to know each other and maybe arrange to meet again near land in the next port the ship is scheduled to visit.

The day comes and it so happens that Speedwagon's gang is hanging around that area before either Spw or Jonathan get there, not knowing about Spw's new human friend. Jonathan is the first one to show up at the meeting spot by the shoreline (and away from privy eyes, in the case of a universe where merpeople are not common knowledge? idk). Dear Jojo even brought some trinkets and things he thought Spw might find interesting and that no one onboard will miss. That's when Spw's gang notice him and jump into action, not only because he's entering their domains, but also because they have eyed those trinkets and want to rip them away from him. A fight ensues then. As limited as my knowledge on merfolk is, I'm pretty sure they are way stronger than humans (correct me if I'm wrong please!). I'm also guessing there would be no hamon in this AU, and so it's very likely that Jonathan would be overpowered eventually despite his superhuman strength from the og (can't imagine Jonathan not being buff and built like a brickwall, so he keeps his og massive size and frame). It's right there when Speedwagon shows up and scolds and shouts at his friends to leave the man alone. He was reaching the spot when he saw everything as it started going down, making him rush over to them as fast as he could. Spw's friends realize they kinda fucked up and apologize, helping Jonathan up and back on his feet. The idea kinda breaks my heart, but maybe some of the trinkets got broken during the confrontation and now Jonathan feels bad about it, although, he's happy that Speedwagon saved him from what would have very likely been a much worse outcome.

And of course Speedwagon is moved, not only by Jonathan's kindness since he really was under no obligation or whatever to bring him anything, and yet he did, but he's also moved by that faintest of pouts on Jojo's lips upon seeing what just happened to the little presents he brought for Speebs. Being mostly outcasts, I'm sure neither Spw or his friends are used to show or being shown love in any of its forms outside of their little group, so it comes as a surprise even to Speedwagon himself when he pulls Jonathan into a hug to make him feel better and stop worrying about the now broken presents. All this surprises Spw's gang too for the previously stated reasons, but it is clear to them now that their boss sees something special in that man and that, judging by his gesture of bringing him a present, he seems to be genuine in his intentions, and so they ease up on him, genuinely apologizing for the incident and what they have unknowingly caused. They are all wary of humans due to past bad experiences, but Jonathan continues to prove over time that he's someone they can fully trust and rely on, and so Speebs and his gang often follow him closely during his journeys across the sea.

just out of curiosity, what would be (yo yo ma) and my main jjba f/o (steely dan) be in ur mer au? :3

I have to be honest- I haven't watched Jojo in a while and I have a bad memory (nor have I read the manga past Stardust Crusaders, but I've watched the anime up to part 6) so I'm not really sure who the first character is 😭

But based on pure vibes alone, I'd say they would be a catfish merperson!

As for Steely Dan, we have all decided that he is now Eely Dan!! 😎 so he's an eel merperson like Vanilla and Alessi (Van-eel-a and Eel-essi hehehe)

[zippers-flowers-and-wine]

are the other jojos and their jobros also mers? i'm just imagining josuke's pomp only keeping shape underwater and when he's on land it collapses from gravity 😭

also caecelia okuyasu. octoyasu lmao

So like, I actually had the idea of keeping the Jobros as humans, but eventually realized I already made so many of them mers… and then I remembered I have free will and that this is MY blog and MY AU so boom.

Yes, in some iterations of things I will write — I had a fun little “okuyasu gets the SHIT scared out of him by mer!Josuke” idea planned — yes, the Jobros will be humans that got adopted into their respective Jostar’s pod.

And YES, ceacelia Okuyasu was my own thoughts too! Literally JUST for “The Hand” being “The Hand(s)” jokes, I’ll be so honest.

[peapodsinspace]

what if: dio as a merman

sure thing!
