FAQish but not really lol

More like “I feel like I should answer some questions no one’s really asking right now but I am concerned abt answering anyways” lmao

Why didn’t the D’arbys use their Stands on the Joestars and just stick to their vampire powers?

The original D’arby battles were challenges rather than outright fights, and all were to do with a wager of some sort. Both were meant to keep the SDC crew away from something (the truth of The World, getting to Dio himself). However, in the Anna Timeline they were both victims of Straizo and their goal was to escape and capitalize on their new powers. Since the SDC crew also didn’t know the way out, the D’arbys couldn’t gain anything from them aside from help getting out, and thus there was nothing of more value for Osiris or Atum to wager for. Too bad the SDC crew were also vampire hunters on top of being Stand Users.

Who was it that Dio was thinking of in chapter one when his inner monologue mentions of Anna, “He hates her, really, she’s too idiotically kind, just like—never mind.”

His mother. Dio at 12 years old doesn’t strike me as someone who would have a lot of women associates aside from his mother, and his mother would probably be the most comparatively kindest and highest in his good books. Thus Dio compares his new stepsister to the only other woman he knew best at that point, and in just as much contempt.

Is Strohiem dead?

Yes. He didn’t even get to turn cyborg, either. Even if he did, it never made a big difference to the end of the Second World War anyway. It probably has something to do with a human sized cyborg being difficult to upkeep in terms of energy, protection from overheating itself from using the various guns in its arsenal as well as must moving in general, protection from extreme weather conditions like in Siberia, the very specifically designed components and parts not having a very established mass production line established, you know, the works. Actually, Franz from Archives lost the blueprints somewhere and it burned down in some firebomb before it could even get to Strohiem in the first place so no getting cyborg technology from the Germans. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure should’ve punched more N*zis.

Did Straizo actually love Anna back?

The short answer is yes, but the long answer is “It’s complicated.” The perfect time and scenario for them to have started a romantic relationship that actually would last would’ve been around when Lisa Lisa was well into her marriage and Joseph may or may not have been on the way; the scenario that would need to happen is that Anna opened up about her true origins to Straizo and have been clear about being willing to Turn Straizo but only with certain requirements and caveats in place. Where things fell apart was Straizo waiting for so long, and Anna keeping important secrets from him. Though, that’s not to say that Anna didn’t have her own reasons for wanting to not mention her reincarnation. That life becomes further and further from her as she continues living, and her concern about future knowledge spreading uncontrollably also play into her habitual silence. Let it be very clearly said that Straizo’s betrayal was very much a betrayal, and had he stayed and let her talk and heard her out things would have also ended better.

Holly can beat people up now???

Holly learned to fight because Caesar, Anna, and Lisa Lisa were around to teach her a thing or two. Joseph was less averse to teaching his daughter such things because Joseph was actively raised by Lisa Lisa who taught him combat and was an example of “girls can definitely kick ass and still be elegant and ladylike”; and Anna, who instilled in him the ethos of a well-rounded and holistic education as well as proper precautionary measures. Ergo, letting Holly live her life as freely and happily as possible also included making sure she was strong enough to save herself if need be. As for her being in a gang, yes. In New York she joined a Greaser gang more because they liked motors and she did too, thanks to Grandpa Georgie showing her airplanes since she was a toddler. Unfortunately fights and gang wars were part of the experience but it did let her put some of her lessons to practical use. Like her grandfather before her, she cannot channel Hamon but that doesn’t make much of a difference if you’ve got a better swing with a wrench. How Holly and Sadao met was that he was in New York for music school and his bike broke while she was on her way out from hanging out with her crew, so she helped him out. He treated her to lunch as repayment and they hit it off very well. But yes, Joseph still pettily dislikes Sadao for taking his daughter away to a foreign land. He’s just better at expressing and focusing his annoyance. And no, if canon Joseph won’t actually kill Sadao for doing all of this then Starsverse Joseph won’t actually kill Sadao for the same reasons. He actually does respect the dude, he just wishes his son-in-law could spend more time with his daughter and son. The ultimate thing about Holly is that she chooses to be a pacifist, and that’s not something someone without a strong will would stick to.

If Jonathan lived longer, as well as Lisa Lisa and Georgie, wouldn’t they have a chance to have more kids? Why don’t we see them and those changes?

The Doylist answer is I don’t wanna make more OCs to juggle and factor in, that’s for a different timeline, thanks. The Watsonian answer is that contraceptives exist, pregnancy doesn’t always happen to some couples even if they’re going at it like rabbits, maybe Hamon is a factor that actually makes this harder, who knows! Although, in regards to Erina and Jonathan, in some ways this question also plays into the question of:

Giorno managed to exist in this universe even though his parentage is different. Are Donatello, Rykiel, and Ungalo in this universe too?

Originally, I thought that the mention of the “other fruits” of the tree thing that birthed Giorno would suffice as reference to Donatello, Rykiel, and Ungalo. Thus they were fruits of the same homunculus-method that made this Giorno, “born” to Anna as their mother, however unlike Giorno they didn’t survive beyond infancy for whatever reason. Another idea was that they would be Erina and Jonathan’s children but then see the previous answer about juggling characters so then nixing them would mean Erina miscarriages multiple times while she and Jonathan try having more children than just Georgie, and that was a pretty depressing thought. Plus I don’t see Erina marrying again after Jonathan and she would’ve been too old to have children by then anyway. The third idea was that they would be born to their original mothers, albeit with different fathers given that Dio is long dead, and since neither Jonathan nor Anna would’ve been involved then Donatello, Rykiel, and Ungalo could live perfectly mundane lives unburdened by the Joestar legacy. Their lives would be better in some ways and lack in other ways. In the end, the “other fruits” stuff made it in, but I can also see the version where their original mothers had them through different fathers and they just grew up normally also existing in the Anna timeline. Both are true, then.

Does Anna still remember the future? The time she came from? Or even canon?

Lmao that’s like 3 in one question lol. Short answer? Yes and no. The memory of Margot and being Margot is around but the information is buried under many, many more years of experience as Anna. I’ve answered in a direct comment before that Anna has the unique experience of time traveling but then returning to her original time the long way around. So in the 1880s, she’d remember iPhones, Jojo canon she’d read, and big world events and even wrote them down to remember. But she wouldn’t have written down certain memes and thus wouldn’t remember unless the meme was very big in her life (“What is love?” And she is tempted to reply with “baby don’t hurt me” vs. seeing a shiba inu and dogecoin not even passing her mind even once). Human memory is only as good as what it prioritizes to preserve, so Anna would slowly forget memes and even 2010s technology and re-learn them while they become released for the first time into the world. As stated at the beginning, the memory is around but there’s too much recent information to prioritize and new memories being made that it’s almost impossible to recall anything she didn’t preserve in books or destroyed. The memory would be overwritten and too corrupted. It’s like searching through a vast archive but the old stuff hasn’t been updated to the new system yet so the information is practically lost. In short, memories of Margot, Jojo canon, and the future is information that Anna can’t access anymore.

More Anna Timeline Things I Have Yet to Add/Might Not Get to Add

So in Stardust Crusaders Arc part 1 Jotaro lends a cigarette to Kakyoin to share a smoke with Jotaro after the Judgment fight has Kakyoin destroy sand constructs of his dead parents. This doesn’t lead Kakyoin to become a smoker in the future, in fact he likes it even less. Abdul did let the boys try hookah while they were in Egypt but Kakyoin declined since he couldn’t even handle a cigarette.

They visited Abdul’s house while in Egypt and had dinner with his extended family there. But there isn’t enough space for them all to spend the night there hence the use of a hotel.

In case it wasn’t made clear, yes, Giorno was “born” on April 16 1985 like his canon birthday. My math should hopefully be correct for Straizo to be inspired by certain outside forces to make the weird homunculus tree that made Giorno happen…….if not then in my defense, I did not go to school for math lmao

The Josuke of this universe is way better at English than the Josuke of the canon universe on account of having Joseph in his life earlier and for longer, along with the other Anglophones in the family.

Yes, Caesar is still alive. He’s now the head of Air Supplenna Island having taken up the mantle from Lisa Lisa, especially once Anna took on Polnareff as her Secretary/Babysitter/Minder. Caesar doesn’t have children, but he’s definitely one of Holly’s dads. Make of that what you will :)

Caesar’s siblings didn’t have the right constitution for Hamon, similar to Georgie in that regard. They do live very fulfilling lives regardless, with adventures of their own. I like to think that one of Caesar’s sisters was even inspired to be an archaeologist like Jonathan, though she would be interested in South Asian cultures unlike Jonathan’s specialty in South America.

Jonathan did indeed get a Doctorate in archaeology even while keeping up his Hamon training. His day job was Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge University, and he worked closely with Speedwagon, obviously. Jonathan’s colleagues always wondered how he kept looking so youthful, to which he attributed to a healthy lifestyle. Technically, he wasn’t lying.

While Georgie was born in England, he grew up more in America after his family moved to New York when he was younger because Jonathan didn’t feel at home in England anymore. America is also where Georgie learned how to fly.

Joseph was born in America and is thus a natural-born American citizen in this universe as opposed to getting naturalized later in life like in canon.

The only reason Joseph and Caesar were even slightly able to communicate when they first met in this universe was because Anna would give English lessons at Air Supplenna because she still had a mindset of multiple languages being useful for people to have for a well-rounded education. Of course, in that vein, Joseph had to learn Italian.

Joseph helped Caesar’s written English by getting him into comics. Both of them have Opinions on DC vs Marvel and yes, they have fought over this. Multiple times.

Georgie did teach Joseph how to fly planes. The Joseph of this universe still has the same terrible, terrible luck with planes as his canon counterpart does. Georgie mourns every plane Joseph manages to crash.

Joseph got in to Real Estate in this timeline because one time he had this couch he didn’t want anymore while he was at university and managed to convince a college classmate into buying it. He then thought, “That was fun, how far can I take this?” Pretty damn far, it seems.

Josuke’s hair 100% looks a lot like how Joseph’s is scruffy, especially since he doesn’t usually keep it long enough to do a pompadour.

There are several contenders for the name of Jotaro’s wife. I couldn’t decide which I liked best so I just threw the top ones together: Stephanie “Stevie” Marina Parton. That’s gonna be her name across all the different timelines in Starsverse.

Kakyoin gets his iconic harlequin-like scars over his eyes in a different Stand attack than Geb a good long time after Egypt. Of course he gets a whole collection of expensive-ass designer sunglasses slowly incorporated into his wardrobe.

[thepaperclip]

Hello it’s been uhhhhhh like a thousand years and I’d rather be more active but lmao writing is hard and writing like fifty million WIPs is hard and living is hard but L MAO WE DOIN OUR BEST LOL

Anyways here’s a preview under the cut!

—————————————————

“I can’t believe the paperwork,” Noriaki snarked. He squinted at the computer screen from behind his reading glasses, which only emphasized the harlequin-like effect of the scars over his eyes. Battle scars from being a general field agent for the Foundation. But there has never been a hole through his stomach. “Stand User activity has increased by 10% and it’s such a pain.” He does not have to also mention that people have died, Tsuji Aya and Inspector Hisaoka. He’s postponing those reports for later when he can stop seeing Aya’s body exploding to dust whenever he closes his eyes.

Joseph groans and rubs a hand over his forehead. “Hermit’s not being too helpful, I’m afraid,” He tosses the next set of polaroids on the table. A bunch of them are shots in the sky with a blurry object that is most likely the photo of Kira Yoshihiro flying in the wind. More of them are shots of a man in a suit but not at any identifiable angle. Many of these seem to depict a busy commuter area, which didn’t help matters either.

Hierophant gathers the pictures and puts them in a stack of things that are meant to be scanned later. Kakyoin figures they can get some intern to do it—or maybe ask if Josuke or any of his friends were looking for a summer job and then have them do it. Maybe he could wrangle them into that service if he agreed to help them with some nice, healthy petty crime in a Kame-Yu department store.

“By the way,” Noriaki said, “When we find the arrow you’re going to take care of bringing it back to Liverpool, yes?” He clicks away an email ping—from his cousin Ryoko, he should check in on her since her university is probably on break soon—“You know, since Miss Anna’s absent and you’re the next senior member.”

“Ha,” Mr. Joestar said sardonically, catching the oblique insult about his age. “I’m 81 years young.”

“Mr. Caesar would beg to differ on the “young” based on how much he yells at you to keep up your Hamon better.”

“Anyway,” Mr. Joestar changed the subject, “Yeah, that’s why I’m here. Help find the arrow and then I’ll bring it to the vault with the others. It’s lucky Aunt Anna isn’t here…”

Noriaki actually peeled his eyes away from the computer screen to frown at Mr. Joestar, brow furrowed, “How so?”

“Ah, don’t worry it’s nothing,” Mr. Joestar waved, “Just the fact that this is kinda becoming a SNAFU. She’d probably be like, ‘This is what you get for not being thorough, Joseph!’ Wait, no, that’s what my mom would’ve said. Tough love sort, my mother. May death rest in peace from her.”

“Isn’t it the other way around?”

“I said what I said.”

“…Right, well, I’ll put you down for transport duty,” Noriaki typed away on the keyboard.

(What Joseph had actually been thinking about was the last time he’d taken an arrow to the Liverpool office. The Nijimuras’ arrow. When he’d given her the package she’d shooed a then-10-year-old Giorno off to play with Iggy. And yes, Iggy was deemed a responsible babysitter.

“You know, you seem to be settling down,” Joseph remarks after they’ve asked for an intern to grab some coffee after he delivered Aunt Anna’s lunch. “What with Giorno and all.”

“Oh, this shouldn’t be mistaken as retirement,” Anna corrected, “This is more, perhaps, slowing down for a little while,” she swirls her drink—her lunch—“It’s been a while since I’ve had to slow my pace to match this exactly with humans. Not since…Air Supplena, I believe. Your childhood.”

“You did have to travel a lot to track down Straizo and the Aja stones,” Joseph mused. “But I guess even now, you’re still searching for something. It’s just that with the arrows, there’s no time limit.”

“Oh, we should get them back soon either way,” Anna says, twirling the arrow in her hands distractedly. “And then we shall be once again united.”

“…What does that mean?”

Anna doesn’t seem to have heard, instead muttering under her breath. The arrow in her hand gleams.

“Aunt Anna?” Joseph repeats, more insistent.

Anna turns to him, blinking, “Yes?”

Somehow, Joseph thinks that she sounds more like herself with that response. There was some infinitesimal difference between this question and her last statement that Joseph was only now realizing he’d maybe seen before, but never really noticed it. Hermit Purple fidgets nervously in his soul. There is something about the Arrows and Aunt Anna.

“When you talk about reuniting, what does that mean?”

Aunt Anna blinked at him quizzically, “When I talk about what?”

“You—you just said—weird stuff about “reuniting.”

Her brows furrowed from behind her sunglasses, “I think you misheard me talking about putting this in with the rest?” She held up the Stand Arrow. It gleamed.

“…Sure, that’s probably it,” he says, backing down.

A clock rings out the hour, and Aunt Anna makes a noise like she’s remembered something, “Oh, I think the ice cream place I wanted to show you will close soon. Let’s go get Giorno and go there together,” she gives a soft smile as she leaves, humming as she goes. If Joseph didn’t know any better, the little tune had lyrics but he couldn’t really hear anything clearly. If he tried, he could hear something about rhinoceros beetles, maybe.

When she finds Joseph, Giorno, and Iggy, she seems a bit distracted until Giorno runs up excitedly to her asking for ice cream. They walk to the ice cream store and enjoy their treats on that sunny afternoon, and talk of plans for visiting Holly’s for Christmas. Very normal things. Yet that strange moment never quite leaves Joseph’s mind. He thinks that he should convince Aunt Anna to let some other people handle the arrows directly, he’s not sure why he has that thought, but it feels important. Very important.

Unfortunately, she leaves for Italy before he can really bring it up, and then comes the contact embargo to protect her cover, so the idea remains unmentioned.)

Lmao hewwo

Been stuck with a months-long writer’s block for this upcoming chapter and it’s taking longer than I’d really like for this to come together. It’s still trucking along bit by bit and I’m definitely still dedicated to completing it and continuing what I’ve started! It’s just a bit slow going especially at the moment and I’m sorryyyyy >.<

BUT here’s an excerpt from what I’m working on under the cut, and thank you all for being patient!!

— — — — — — — — — —

Hirose Koichi is looking forward to his first day of school, all things considered. There’s a little first day jitters keeping him active, but Morioh has been a nice town so far, and the beauty of the spring morning is calming him down. Morioh isn’t a big town, and so foot traffic isn’t as congested as Koichi’s last city. He probably could’ve even left home later than he had, today. As it is, he’s taking his time a little.

He’s not the only one. There’s two other teens, kneeling by the fountain in the town square. They seem to be whispering intently about a turtle crawling on the fountain’s edge. One of them is balking away from the turtle while his companion gives encouragement to get closer instead. They seem busy. Koichi isn’t going to bother them.

“Oi! Kouhai!”

Koichi freezes. “Uh, m-me?”

“Yeah, you,” another teen, a little older than him, jeers. He and his two pals close in around Koichi and now he’s surrounded. “You lost, little man? That’s not the right uniform, you know.”

“I-I’m new in town, actually—“

“Wow, this middle schooler’s pretty far from home,” one of the other delinquents says.

“A-actually I’m, I’m in high school—“

“Bullshit!” The third shouts. “You’re like, five.”

“I’m—I’m 15, actually—“

“You callin’ me a liar, kid?!” The first one shouted in Koichi’s face, making him stumble back.

“These guys botherin’ ya?”

It’s the two students who were at the fountain. They stand on either side of Koichi and the trio of delinquents back away a little. But they don’t leave, they change targets. “It’s Higashikata Josuke!”

“Ooooh, the hafu’s involving himself again.”

“Ah, no, it’s just,” the tall one helping Koichi, whose name was Higashikata Josuke apparently, adjusted a green-striped kerchief across his forehead that kept his scruffy hair out of his face. “You guys seemed to be bothering this kid, and, well, that ain’t cool, yanno?”

“Fuck off,” the first delinquent said. “Just ‘cause you got a rich daddy doesn’t mean that you get to be buttin’ in everyone’s business! You’re still our subordinate! We’re your senpai.” He grabbed the turtle from the fountain and jabbed it at Josuke. “You still gotta pay us some respect, ya damn hafu.”

The delinquent didn’t actually call Josuke a “hafu” this time, he called him the worse version of that. Koichi backed away as unobtrusively as possible because throwing around racial slurs was probably a step away from throwing fists and he was very not equipped to get caught up in a brawl.

“Oi, don’t call Josuke that!” Josuke’s friend interjected. “An’ stop stuffin’ that turtle in his face, he’s got a phobia, yanno!”

“Yeah, thanks Okuyasu,” Josuke griped as he continued to cower away from the turtle without completely losing his ground. “Oh my god could you please stop that, it’s so creepy,” he whined at the turtle.

“Stay outta it!” The guy kept on waving the squirming turtle, this time at Okuyasu. “Little shits like you need ta learn some respect!” He threw the turtle at a lamppost and Koichi cried out as the turtle’s shell cracked.

“And what I’m sayin’ is true anyway! He’s a—“ he repeated the racial slur once more, “—mutt ‘cause of his slut of a mother!”

The air changed. Okuyasu backed away with his fists clenched. Koichi clapped a hand over his mouth. Josuke stood up straight. “The fuck did you say about my mother?”

“Yer ma’s a—“ he didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence when he was suddenly flying through the air at his friends as though launched by a ghost. “The fuck!? My nose!”

“You can insult me all you want, but saying shit about my mother, that really fucking grinds my gears,” Josuke went up to the felled delinquent and stomped on his head. “Ya hear me!?”

Then something truly bizarre happened. The delinquent’s broken nose was…fixing itself? His teeth were even returning to their correct positions. Except—

“Aniki, your face! Your nose!”

“It fixed itself?! But wrong?! What the hell!?”

“And now you’ve really done it,” Josuke returned from where he’d apparently picked up the turtle. Koichi noticed with a start that the turtle’s shell was completely intact. “Making me touch this turtle, which was the last thing I wanted to do. Well?! How’re you gonna make it up to me?!”

The delinquents were still freaking out about the inexplicable nose job. They did, however, get the message and scamper off. Not without also shouting about how much of a freak Josuke was for somehow doing whatever that was with the guy’s nose.

“Whoa! Bro! You’re doing it!” Okuyasu pointed. “You’re touching the turtle!”

Like a switch, Josuke went from enraged to fearful, “Oh my god I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this,” he rambled as he stiffly but hastily put the turtle back on the fountain. He turned on a dime. “Anyways, are you alright?”

It took a moment for Koichi to realize that Josuke was talking to him. “Ah—ahh, yeah! I’m fine!” Koichi stammered. “Um, thanks.”

“That’s good,” Josuke rubbed the back of his head. “Uh, anyway, I’m Higashikata Josuke.”

“And I’m Nijimura Okuyasu!” Okuyasu added brightly.

“Hirose Koichi,” he bowed, “yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”

“So, you’re new in town, right? What year are you in?”

“I’m a first year.”

“Really? No way! So are we!” Josuke said excitedly. “Maybe we’ll be in the same class.”

“Yeah, maybe,” Koichi said brightly. “Um…I have to ask, uh, what was with—“ Koichi thinks better about asking Josuke about the mysterious invisible magic punch thing. Mostly because he’s not sure if that actually happened, or if he’d get hit with the same thing if he asks. “—the turtle,” Koichi switches tracks.

“Oh, well, you see, I’ve got a bit of a phobia of reptiles,” Josuke explains. “So I thought I’d get over it by doing this test of bravery, and Okuyasu here was gonna be my witness to make sure that I touched it first by my own hand and didn’t try to cheat with my st—“ he cut himself off as though realizing something. He groaned into his hands, “Oh no, I didn’t technically touch the turtle with my own hand first.”

This loses Koichi. He’s even more lost when Okuyasu bursts out laughing. “Looks like you’re getting a pompadour for the month, dude!”

Josuke groaned again.

“Getting into trouble, Josuke?”

Oh god, what now, is Koichi’s first thought, whirling around. He can’t take any more heart attacks today. Two adults are there, one has striking red hair, the other is as large as Josuke and looks very similar to him.

“J-Jotaro-nii!” Josuke jumped. “And Mr. Kakyoin!”

“Wait, that’s Josuke’s brother?” Koichi blurted in surprise.

“Actually, that’s his nephew,” Okuyasu corrected.

“….What?”

[thepaperclip]

It’s occurred to me that I should probably explain this whole thing a bit more lol so Imma post up some of the rules that I’m operating by as I write this Multiverse:

Each OC is reborn as the twin of a Jojo

Each OC is reborn into a different timeline, and cannot change whatever happened in the past of their timeline (EG: the Part2 OC operates in her timeline only, the Part1 OC never existed in her timeline and therefore the point of divergence in the Part2 OC’s timeline is from her birth forwards only)

There is only one reincarnated OC in each timeline at a time. The only exception is any Eyes of Heaven crazy crossover event.

Any Eyes of Heaven crazy crossover event that happens is non-canon fun.

Each OC is a different character, and not the same soul reincarnating over and over. They all have their own pasts and different levels of knowledge about Jojo canon. I’ve made 6 OCs and that’s because I tend to make things complicated for myself lol.

There are no Self-Inserts that are author avatars because I don’t really feel comfortable with writing that sort of thing. Will there be resemblances to me? Sort of, in the sense that original characters tend to unavoidably have some distorted reflection of some aspect of their creator’s personality. But these OCs all have different lives and different pasts than each other and me.

If canon has a macguffin that’s an alien debatably sentient metal which causes weird things to happen based off of willpower, and grants superpowers after striking people’s souls....then there’s probably consequences to those macguffins interacting with characters who had enough willpower to persist after death and are souls that are from a different universe. This is a unique problem to this multiverse that every single OC will have to deal with to some degree at some point...

Fun design rule I’ve given myself for each reincarnation OC’s Stand: the face of the Stand greatly resembles the face of their previous life, but there will always be some element of the Stand’s face that covers its eyes. Because Death or something.

[thepaperclip]

Some things about Anna & The Anna Timeline that I couldn’t/have yet to include

As mentioned during the early part of the Battle Tendency arc, hide and seek between Anna and Jonathan got old real fast. Dio caught on to their twin sense and once he did, figured out Jonathan’s tell for when Anna was approaching and used it to his advantage. Mostly it was to help figure out how much he wanted to frame Jonathan for trouble for the day.

Anna’s circadian rhythm just goes completely out of wack and combined with a workaholic tendency and vampire stamina, she can stay awake for almost weeks at a time. She did this once and got very scattered and intense, doing things like mixing up social etiquette rules and getting distracted into very strange rabbit holes.

For example, she got a “Hamilton” song stuck in her head, but realized she was imperfectly remembering it, so spent almost 48 hours trying to recreate the entire thing and wrote all over her preexisting research notes. This is how Jonathan found her and was like “Alright you need some sleep” and dragged her to bed.

From then on after some trial and error it becomes a rule that if Anna is awake for longer than 48 hours then she’s required to get some rest ASAP. Jonathan is the first one who has to enforce this and then it’s Straizo, then Caesar, then Polnareff and so on.

Like Jonathan, she has a liking for chocolate. Their Victorian Chefs cooked hot chocolate more like a rich pudding, which wasn’t sweet enough for either twin. Anna manages to reverse-engineer what’s basically American Swiss Miss hot chocolate and that’s the recipe both twins swear by for the rest of their lives.

Anna used to be alright with minty things as Margot but when she tried it as a tea as Anna it tasted wrong and so now she can’t stand it. Certain types of mint also kinda sting her nose a bit, so that means mint is more or less a no with her.

The only person for whom she’ll put up with the stuff for is Straizo since he absolutely loves minty things. In fact, if she makes some hot chocolate for colder nights on Air Suplenna, she’ll reduce the sweetness and toss in a candy cane for his mug.

In this universe Air Suplenna is rumored to be the home of an ancient vampire Noblewoman on account of it being a secluded old castle that keeps ordering a truly ludicrous amount of pig’s blood almost daily from “mainland” Venice, along with that woman in black who sometimes shows up once in a blue moon and only at night. The irony is not lost on anyone at Air Suplenna, training ground for vampire HUNTERS.

When Joseph learns of the rumors he gleefully makes it worse. It’s to the point that Air Suplenna eventually becomes a bit of a tourist attraction in Venice, with several tours driving by and pointing out the island from a distance since it’s technically private property.

The island itself is actually semi-independent from Italy, which means that no one there is forcefully drafted into WWII during Mussolini-era Italy. Joseph, Caesar, and Suzie take part in several escapades as parts of the resistance movement.

Due to Anna’s tip to Speedwagon early on, the Speedwagon Foundation actually end up with a bunch of information about the changing climate, and as a result get into renewable energy a lot sooner. The subtle butterfly effect is that in this universe the green energy movement starts a little more information sooner. Anna doesn’t really notice the difference because she’s too busy with the supernatural bizarreness of her life.
