weirdest girls ever fall in love

[ask-dr-kujo]

Hey, dad? So you know those two “roommates”, Ermes and Foo I introduced to you? They’re actually… my girlfriends. Also one of them is technically a sentient colony of plankton. Also the sentient colony of plankton is trying to kill you I should probably warn you about that- basically this is my long winded way of saying I’m a lesbian. Are you… okay with that?

- Jolyne

( @askgreendolphinprison )

I dont care who you date as long as you're happy, Jolyne. You shouldn't worry about stuff like that.

I'm more intrigued by the sentient colony of plankton. Is this the result of a stand ability? How are they sustaining life outside of water? Can they speak? Are they one collective sentience or multiple?

Monster AU - Joestar Family Lore

brought to you by unexplained moment of omnipresence!

This is about the Joestar family in general. The only Joestar that I've confirmed to "be" anything other than human is Giorno (and his half brothers I suppose). But that doesn't mean the Joestar family is full of normal, magic-dry humans.

Let's start from the beginning:

Jonathan Joestar is a human being, and yet, he appears to be distinctly ethereal.

Not holy, per se, I could perhaps use the word 'divine', but the specific religious connotation that would probably conjure is not really meant to be part of it. The way I would tend to describe it would be 'some kind of ethereal entity borne of a miracle'. I'll just refer to this concept as 'the Entity' (with capital E) for simplicity. Within the bearers, there's a sense of righteousness that may be linked to it aswell.

Essentially, it was miraculous that anyone survived the carriage incident, and because George and Jonathan both did miraculously survive, they (but more specifically Jonathan) were hashtag blessed and the Entity became a part of Jonathan and subsequently his descendants. It's pretty simply passed down like genetics are; as generations pass on, there's some muddling or dilution, but every Joestar descendant from Jonathan onwards has this [non-Stand] Entity as a part of them to some extent. Even the normal ones (Holy); basically anyone with genetic parentage tracing back to Jonathan (so unfortunately no Joestars-in-law) will have it.

The muddling is because the Entity is more or less an entirely unique thing, so others that would have that same Entity as part of their being would be rare, if not completely nonexistent. Joestars are mostly having kids with normal humans, so over the generations it gets sort of 'watered down'. The Entity, however, is an incredibly strong thing, so much so that, even generations down the line, it's still detectable or distinct in them or their auras.

Furthermore, Hamon deeply resonates with the Entity, making it more powerful and more prominent; the two things seem to be somehow linked, and this connection may be why Joestars seem to be particularly skilled Hamon Users. Unfortunately, this also means that the Entity started to become much more subtle when the practise of Hamon was no longer passed down in the Joestar family.

So Joseph, despite being Jonathan's grandson, still has a very distinct presence of the Entity which furthermore gets even stronger throughout the events of Battle Tendency when he receives Hamon training. Though you'd never guess there's anything ethereal about him with how much of a little bitch he is

Then we get to Holy, Joseph's daughter. She's three generations (since Jonathan) along and the Entity (thanks in part to Joseph's attunement with Hamon) is still fairly strong. Her good natured spirit helps to bolster it somewhat, and though we never see her using Hamon, she definitely could. The Entity was strong enough for her that, when she was unable to control her own Stand, it helped her, through her will to survive, to withstand the full extent of her Stand's power, keeping her alive (I call bullshit on her not having enough fighting spirit and would like to see Holy throw hands).

So with Jotaro being Holy's son, Joseph's grandson (4 generations in), the Entity starts to become a bit passive. Jotaro doesn't practise Hamon and he's an asshole (albeit with overall noble intention) so the Entity has more or less ceased to be particularly distinct with him (though it might have had some influence on the sheer general capability of Star Platinum). It's still fairly plainly detectable in his aura.

And then we get to resident sleepy boy Josuke Higashikata, requiring a hop back in the generational line. Josuke is Joseph's son, consequently also being Holy's half-brother; thus, he's a third-generation Joestar descendant. This means that, similarly to Holy, the Entity is once again fairly strong (even though Joseph stopped practicing Hamon), and perhaps a little stronger due to another "miraculous" event that occurred in Josuke's childhood (when he'd been deathly ill); it's an Entity borne of a miracle, so it seems only natural that another miracle would strengthen it.

Now, I'm going to skip Giorno for a moment because he's a little... complicated.

Then comes Jolyne. Jolyne is Jotaro's daughter, Joseph's great-granddaughter; she's a 5th generation Joestar (and the only one of which we really know about) and by now, the connection with the Entity is quite faint, especially since it was already pretty subdued for Jotaro. It's detectable in her aura, but it doesn't seem to really have much impact on her.

Funnily enough, Jonathan aside, the Joestar descendant with the strongest attachment to the Entity... is Giorno.

Now before I get into detail about Giorno I need to address... the DIO. The Entity is linked intrinsically to both the spirit, and also to the physical form (hence why it's genetic), its primary attachment generally depending which is 'active', to put it simply. What this essentially means is that while a person is alive, the Entity is mainly attached to their soul. But if the person dies, the Entity typically becomes inactive. However, since DIO (who is, to simplify, still a vampire) decided to steal Jonathan's body when Jonathan died, that meant that Jonathan's body became active despite the lack of his soul, so the Entity remained attached to his body.

Giorno, technically being the son of both DIO and Jonathan (because of, you know, complete bullshit that just works), would inherit both the vampirism from DIO and the Entity directly from Jonathan. And this would also technically apply to Donatello, Ungalo and Rikiel (so, yes, they are all also part-vampire), but there's more when it comes to Giorno; since Gold Experience is basically Hamon: The Stand, the Entity particularly resonates with Giorno, meaning it's pretty much just as intense as it'd been for Jonathan.

This also further bolsters just how absolutely fucked Giorno's genetics are as a presumably three-piece, maybe four-piece hybrid... his aura is a fucking terror.

It took Polnareff an extremely long time to be able to visit Avdol's grave. The memories of the rollercoaster of emotions that he went through the multiple times he had to witness the death of his friend because of him, did not make it any easier. So after his burial, Polnareff immediately dug himself into his work with Jotaro while in Egypt. It hurt to much to even think back into the past, despite all the good memories they had together. So forcing himself to be constantly thinking about the present, and only the present was the only way he could survive each day without drowning.

It wasn't until one night, he couldn't do it. His mind wouldn't stop agonizing and antagonizing him until he found himself in the pouring rain banging on Jotaro's door. He had to visit, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it alone.

Of course, with Jotaro, it was a quiet memorial, but Polnareff was well aware

Pol's hand brushed the wet stone as the wounds he had tried his best to salve with nonstop work and a transparent mask of nonchalance crumbled away.

'I'm sorry my friend. I am so sorry."

"He wouldn't want you to wallow Polnareff."

Polnareff looked up at the young man with one hand holding an umbrella and another stuffed into his pockets

"He would want you to live the life that you have in your hands now."

All Polnaref could do was nod and let streams of tears become rivers.

tobias is initiating the we are gonna watch jojos together soon 😔🙌

i'm glad more ppl are pointing out them whitewashing joseph. like what the fuck was that.

[stardstschlar]

I've found a couple of videos to indicate how Jotaro would sound when singing. Unfortunately, two of the videos were created using A.I and that's a huge issue within the creative community. Won't be posting them here. There are a few videos of his English VA; Matt Mercer, singing but not in the lower register. asdfsdf - I'ma need more videos of this.

OOC MOD POST

Alright, since one of you asked, here's how you find out your jojos bizarre adventure stand through an autism assessment test.

First, take the idr labs assessment test.

Next, you take the inage from your results and open the image in a new tab

Go to the image and copy the URL. These are the values you put into the program.

Go to the kaggle notebook and click the button that says "copy and edit."

Go to the second block of code and replace the URL that is in the quotations with the one you just copied.

And hit the run all button (its the two fast forward arrows at the top)

And enjoy your results..

Here are mine.

you would think that after getting annihilated no less than three (3) times in the past by a joestar, dio would know better than to let his hubris override his common sense, at least when it comes to them. you would think that, and yet-

[etcnnante]

can’t help but laugh every time i see my knock off VA charm that has all the characters . except for bruno

[raytm]

the josuke & okuyasu transposing from friendship to romance is so subtle & it's very much first adolescent crush vibes. suddenly being aware of the fact that you're always brushing shoulders ? that your knees are touching ?? that you always took up each other's space but now it has a different undertone & you have absolutely no idea what to do about these feelings ??? it's the one day holding hands eventually ?? it's the time it takes to take that step because the friendship means so much ?? and then there's the jotaro and kakyoin where i truly believe ( killing off jobros is not allowed. ) that he spent every moment possible beside kakyoin's bed as he recovered post egypt. like the nurses are ?? mildly terrified of him at first but after a while they greet him and offer him coffee. he studies while in the hospital and maybe talks a little too indepth about marine biology to kak even though he's very much unconcious. holy comes to visit alot too and brings fresh flowers every time ! jotaro helps pick them out but he doesn't openly say that. he very much had feelings towards kakyoin that developed during the events of sdc but didn't have the capacity to express it as eloquently as he would have liked. yes, he did rehease the conversation he wanted to have with kakyoin while he was in hospital in his head 100 times.

| Hi friends—

So under the cut here, I have an idea for a possible comic/fic I want to make. It’s regarding JJBA, specifically part 3 bc you know I love my boy Jotaro. It’s very long so that’s why it’s under a cut! It’s not fully fleshed out yet, so please forgive any vagueness or possible inconsistencies!

Also if you’re here from Discord hi I love you— |

My idea begins when DIO awakens. If I’m looking at the timeline right, it was around when Jotaro was 12. He started having very vivid dreams, most of them random but normal, besides being extremely vivid, and he could never control them. But when DIO began converting people to his cause like in Part 1— killing, making others into vampires/zombies, etc.— the dreams became nightmares. He stopped wanting to sleep, because he didn’t want to witness the horror anymore. He tried to tell Holly, but she couldn’t understand how he was having dreams this horrific and thought maybe he was being influenced at school. She listened, of course, but she didn’t know how to handle this situation on her own.

Holly took Jotaro to multiple doctors, and they told her they couldn’t figure out why he didn’t want to sleep, because he was otherwise healthy. Jotaro started becoming more irritable and hard to manage, but Holly didn’t want to push him by being too naggy, so that was why she was always so complacent with him.

(Note: As for why she didn’t contact the SPF or Joseph, I’m thinking his hatred of all things Japanese was part of her reasoning for not wanting to talk to him until after Jotaro went to jail— she thought it was more trouble than it was worth and that maybe it would be fine if she could figure out what was wrong.)

The twist here is that the dreams weren’t really dreams. I don’t think DIO needs to sleep as a vampire (at least not that much?) so what Jotaro was seeing was either memories (if DIO did sleep) or he was seeing exactly what DIO was doing as he was doing it, as a further connection to DIO having Jonathan’s body and using it for his own purposes.

He didn’t know anything about Stands until his own manifested, but I imagine he saw when DIO manifested The World and was confused, even though he still thought it was a dream. But when Star Platinum appeared, he just assumed that this was some kind of karmic punishment and didn’t want to risk hurting anyone else after how he’d beaten the group of men up— so that was why he didn’t want to leave the jail.

I haven’t gotten into how this would work further into the story except for a few small things. First, he’d vaguely recognize Avdol, as he would’ve seen him running from DIO in his dream, but the outcome of their fight remains the same— there’s a little more hesitance on Jotaro’s part to hurt Avdol, but he still chokes him and breaks out of the cell to get to him.

Second, when Joseph shows off his own Stand and shows the picture to Jotaro, it triggers something in him. He almost brings out Star Platinum to destroy the image, but he doesn’t since they’re in a public place. It takes a lot of prompting and pleading from Holly, but eventually he spits it out.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but… this man is the one I keep seeing in my dreams. He’s done so many despicable things. I’ve seen everything he’s done. He’s why I can’t sleep, why I don’t want to.”

It’s a very serious moment, but it still doesn’t stop Joseph from yelling that he can’t believe he’s spent so much money to break cameras when he could’ve just asked his own grandson to go to sleep for a bit.

It becomes a running gag at some points, too. “Jotaro, you need to sleep.”

“I’m not tired, leave me alone, old man.”

“We need to know DIO’s next move, dammit, now shut your eyes already!”

Of course the journey is still long and full of shenanigans, bc why wouldn’t it be? Eventually, though, like with Hermit Purple, DIO catches on. He starts doing things to deliberately torment Jotaro’s mind, taunts him about his mother, says he’ll take great pleasure in killing the Crusaders, and it becomes even harder for him to sleep. It takes more out of him every day, but the other Crusaders insist he needs to sleep, and they take turns watching him when he finally collapses to be sure to wake him if he gets too restless.

Anything further beyond this I’d need to develop more, but I like the idea so far.

A bonus twist for the end (completely optional): DIO could also see what Jotaro saw and kept it to himself until the final battle, meaning he knew all of their steps in advance and was just as confident he’d win as he was in canon… only for Jotaro to absolutely destroy him.

As another bonus, I can imagine when they’re fighting Death 13 that he’s unfazed and he’s just like “I’ve had worse nightmares than this.” and the other Crusaders become even more concerned.
