(JJBA) RisoProMelo hours where Melone just wants some stand loving. Yes he’s asked similar of Grateful Dead and has asked worse than just them cheering- In the end he needs to tell the beasts what a good job they’re doing :)

Prosciutto ends up blushing if Grateful Dead is given affection. Apparently Risotto has given pets before as well.

Also pretend Risotto has his tats. Didn't feel like drawing them (which involved finding my own art to reference them).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I WROTE YOU A SILLEY LITTLE FICLET

~

Melone's birthday present to Prosciutto was a giant cardboard popout cake.

The raucous party was instantly transformed into a good old-fashioned stand-off. Neither man spoke aloud, but they could see each other's every thought play across their faces, clear as day. Melone smirked. Prosciutto's finger twitched. A tumbleweed blew in through the window.

*I know you didn't just spend the whole fucking month's budget on a stripper in a cake,* the disapproving quirk of Prosciutto's eyebrow seemed to say.

Melone tilted his head slightly. *You don't know what I've got in here.*

A narrowing of the eyes. *Don't play dumb.*

Melone smiled. *It could be balloons. You don't know. Or a smaller cake. If you wanted a stripper, don't you think I'd have better options lined up than hiring a poor dancer to crouch awkwardly in an old IKEA box?*

(It was impressive that Prosciutto was able to glean so much information from a smile.)

Illuso, sick of the staring contest, broke the silence with, "So are you going to open it, or...?"

Prosciutto opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the cake burst open in a shower of confetti.

A series of beeps vaguely resembling "Happy Birthday To You" blasted from Baby Face as it rose from the cardboard cake. It struck the sexiest pose that a spike-covered robot wrangled into ill-fitting lingerie had ever made, which was Not Very, At All.

"Happy Birthday, Mr President," Melone sang in an over-exaggerated purr, and even Prosciutto could not stop himself from laughing a little as he told Melone off for throwing off the groove of the party for such a weird prank.

The music started up again, the drinks flowed, karaoke was sung, and laughter was shared. Formaggio put a party hat on Baby Face. All in all, it was a good night, and there was even minimal - minimal! - property damage.

I LOVE IT, THANK YOU!!! 💖💖💖✨

The other day I saw on this Italian place's menu a "Prosciutto and Melone salad" and kinda chuckled to myself but that got me thinking about what Prosciutto and Melone's dynamic would be like. What are some of your headcanons?

Ah, promelo is a ship that I never really got to dive much into. But I’ll give some headcanons similar to my Ghiaccio and Formaggio one. 

Fun facts: In the past, the act of eating cured meat with fruit was believed to boost your immune system because the Romans believed eating mixing cold and moist foods together has health benefits. The dish prosciutto e melone itself was created by father of modern Italian cuisine Pellegrino Artusi and ressurged in popularity in the 1960s. It is often eaten during the summer. 

How they met

Melone was the last person to join the team and no one besides Risotto knew how he came to join Passione. The first thing Prosciutto noted was how thin Melone was when he first came to headquarters and the fact that he’s awfully quiet and standoffish, as if he had died and came back. While others like Formaggio and Illuso were already pouncing to introduce themselves and get to know the new kid, Prosciutto was sitting back scratching his head with Ghiaccio on how someone who appeared to be the most out of place came to join their team. For the first several days of Melone being there, he didn’t utter a word besides talking directly to Risotto and eventually a few words to Ghiaccio at the other’s encouragement. Melone often was tucked away in some sparse room that lacked anything but a bed and desk and away from the team. It wasn’t until he found himself with Melone alone that they finally did introduce themselves to each other. 

How they became close

Prosciutto specializes in missions involving high society events and interacting with people within there, whether that be rich businessmen or affluent politicians and their wives, and some of that requires knowing the ins and outs of these inner circles and their security. However, everything from organizing the intel and whatnot was done by Prosciutto alone prior to Melone joining. When Melone came in, one of the first things he did was help organize profiles and intel of such targets, which helped Prosciutto immensely. Given that Melone’s experience in the academia world meant he also was raised surrounded by the uppercrust and knowing how to behave around them, he became the only other person besides Sorbet that knew what it’s like to be around old and new money societies, making him an ideal work partner for Prosciutto to enter such societies for missions when needed. That all led to the two of them to be brought them closer both in and outside of work. Surprisingly, Melone got close to Prosciutto first before Ghiaccio. 

As friends

The team teasingly describe them to be a bickering couple who would constantly nag but never go to bed angry at each other. They both hound on about each other regarding their health or on an argument they just had that is yet to be resolved that day. Sometimes their arguments sting, but they try to resolve and apologize once the dusts settle in the end. When they get along, however, they’re a petty duo that rivals all others. Prosciutto is on board to engage in malicious compliance and Melone is quick on his feet when it comes to planning schemes regarding revenge against whoever dared to inconvenience either or both. You think Prosciutto is conservative and stiff-upperlip but he can just be as dirty minded as Melone and frequently references euphemisms off hand for the humor of it. It’s just that said euphemisms are layered in complexity and wit that only Melone is able to understand right away. They’ve gotten to the point where they can easily communicate with their eyes alone and they have inside jokes that no one in the team can understand. 

As lovers

Prior to becoming lovers, both were worried whether they should be together. Sometimes their arguments get so intense and full of vitrol that it makes both think they cannot be more than just friends. Prosciutto debated with himself on whether he should confess his love in addition to his past traumatizing him enough that he is hesitant to be in any relationship. Meanwhile, Melone has his own trauma that led him to think he can never find love ever again or provide love the way he did before. Confessing came from them spending time with each other alone one night and some tears shed on both sides because both thought one never cared about the other beyond work. Melone and Prosciutto are surprisingly very private about their love lives and no one on the team actually knows they’re dating. How Melone and Prosciutto show restraint from showing any affection is a miracle and sometimes their jabs at each other are to squash any suspicion of them being anything other than friends. However, the only change from being friends to lovers is how affectionate they are in private. Silent cuddles while one plays with the other’s hair, chaste kisses in corners where even Illuso can’t see with his mirrors, they’re very sweet like that. They still bicker like a nagging couple but this time they’re actually a couple. 

What they like to do together

Talking- oh my god, these two talk so much. Anything can strike a conversation that can go for hours and no topic is taboo. Prosciutto and Melone often spend hours discussing world events or other interests like the arts and science- “smart people talk” is what Pesci calls it. It’s not like Ghiaccio where the conversation can get one-sided or Formaggio where the tone and theme of the conversation ends up lighthearted no matter what, but both Melone and Prosciutto equally contribute to leading and adding into the discussion until one of them either needs to do something else or their throats get sore. Sometimes they talk in different languages to keep their fluency and add a challenge to their conversation while allowing their conversations to be private if there are ears listening. Rarely do they actually spill tea or talk about actual work, contrary to the team’s beliefs. They also like to also get dressed up in formal clothes to go out to shop or eat at fancy restaurants pretending to be rich businessmen living unassuming lives. Most of the time, they're dressed up to people watch and discuss their observations. They also use that time to fantasize the unattainable lifestyle of not being criminals unable to enjoy the freedom that comes with being wealthy. 

What do they like most about each other

Prosciutto likes Melone’s work ethic. Never had he met anyone so hardworking yet so passionate in what he does. It honestly motivates him to be a better mafioso and team member seeing how Melone is able to not only get things done but stay focused. Meanwhile, Melone likes Prosciutto’s candor. He can enjoy Formaggio’s banter, be motivated by Ghiaccio’s motivational talks, roast Illuso’s boasts, acknowledge Risotto’s straight-forwardness, and humor Pesci’s sugarcoating, but it’s Prosciutto who provides the candor when it’s needed. Both appreciate each other’s calmness. Despite their way of handling stress and how the show it, both would also argue the other has the calmest head. Prosciutto is calm in terms of knowing how to calm his team members down despite his temper. Melone is calm in terms of knowing how to rearrange and rebalance the situation. Both end up working together on this front as a result and both consider the other a good partner to work with regardless of their disagreements.

(JJBA) Happy Pride Month! Drew these two and my headcanons.

While Prosciutto I see as transman, Melone is like a Schrödinger situation where sometimes I think he is as well and sometimes not.

Second pic is sexualities btw (pansexual and bisexual).

prosciutto and melone for the ship meme bc i know what i’m about

Send me two characters and I will tell you what my ideal ship dynamic is for these characters!

My immediate thought was that these two would be a beautiful case of Cryptic Recognizes Cryptid. With Melone's complex Stand and his even more complex conditions and comorbidities, the question is "How are you even alive?" and with Prosciutto's devastating Stand and unnervingly short fuse, the question becomes "How are we even alive?", and I think both would be curious to investigate beyond "It's a miracle." For this little essay I will go with the shorter explanation that Melone enjoys life enough to remain tethered to it in spite of his health problems, and Prosciutto is kind enough to have himself under control for the sake of his team despite his anger, and both would find the other's reasons and means fascinating. There is a lot to admire and respect there, and I love the solidarity that can subsist between two people who are simply Built Different. Their experiences are unique, so it is reassuring as well as comfortable to have someone who understands that.

As for getting together, one of my favorite headcanons is that Prosciutto micro-manages a lot of things on La Squadra, mostly because he is one of the few who is capable and willing, and as part of that, he would be managing Melone's prescriptions and taking him to his scheduled appointments. Now, savvy as Melone is in his chosen fields, I see him as someone who had to become used to suffering quietly and not making a big deal out of it, while Prosciutto has reached a point where he is ready to make a big deal out of anything that's not going well. Medication not working as intended? Unwanted side effects? Melone might shrug and cope as best he can because "it could be worse", but Prosciutto will get on everyone's asses at the clinic until something better is prescribed, and he will consult Melone in advance and on the spot and after the fact. If he's going to ride or die, Prosciutto will ride all the way to the finish line, and here the end goal is improving Melone's quality of life rather than say, minimizing trouble to the people around him. This would be something new and welcome to Melone, the idea of being attended to because he is important as a teammate and as a person, and I think they would bond over these visits as well as having discussions where their interests intersect. They both have interesting Stands, so there might be experimentation with what each can do, and again, Melone knows what tone to use to make himself pleasant with different people. Between micro-managing the team's affairs and giving each other a hand where applicable, they would get on swell.

Long story short, this goes from "How do I unfuck this melon" to "I am open to fucking this melon in a different, challenging way."
