My friend came up with the au that after Speedwagon died he continued as the narrator for the rest of the parts for fun. He survives the reset to just keep narrating

Speedwagon just becomes this omnipotent all powerful being who narrates everything. He knows everything about every person who comes in contact with the Joestar line and his words shape reality itself, even if nobody knows it
can people hear him? who knows, he's just living his best afterlife watching over everyone and seeing their stories unfold
Logical idea: The only ones who can hear him are the Joestars.
Funny idea: the only ones who can hear him are the Jojo allies who Could Not Care Less (Iggy, Rohan, Abbachio, maybe Gwess?).

Oh my god that's absolutely hilarious I love it
god Abbacchio's tho, that one is really vibing in my head for some reason
like, growing up around the times of Stardust and Diamond, he could always hear the very distant voice of Speedwagon way off when he was narrating things. He either thought he was a) hearing things or b) crazy, but given how it didn't affect his life that much he didn't think too much of it
but then Golden Wind starts and suddenly The Voice is a LOT louder and narrating Bucciarati which is enough to get him on edge because on the few times he did pay attention to the voice, it seem liked Shit Wasn't Going Super Great. The voice then only gets louder when Giorno arrives, but the kid doesn't seem to realise he's at the centre of this Voice's narration so Abbacchio doesn't know what to think
also I....... I had another chaotic idea
what if they can also hear the music score too, and as a result end up being able to make decent guestimations about what's going on based on how freaked out the music is sounding
Why do I get the feeling that during Stardust Crusaders, Speedwagon stops being “neutral narrator” and just every other word out of his mouth about Dio is him swearing at Dio.
When it’s revealed Diavolo wants to kill Trish, Abbacchio hears “OH YOU EVIL BASTARD!”

Speedwagon tries to be neutral, but it's rather obvious who he favours ESPECIALLY when certain things end up happening. Sometimes when Abbacchio and Rohan were younger, they'd occasionally find a quiet place to sit and listen to the insanity that was Stardust.
and absolutely, Speedwagon also tries to keep things very "factual" with as little personal commentary as possible, but every once in a while something so Unbelievably Shitty will happen that he can't help it
as such, this means that when Diavolo Does A Little Trolling, not only is Abbacchio aware of it, but he also know Shit's Fucked because the Voice is cursing and insulting up a storm and he only does that when he's really ticked off
.......hey actually, another Thought....... it's entirely possible that with Speedwagon's narration, Rohan might become aware of Bites The Dust before he dies-
Oh no.
I thought of something worse.
What if Bites the Dust is able to temporarily knock Speedwagon out of commission. And Rohan and Abbachio get a moment of complete silence when before the voice was chatting up a storm and they immediately realize that something is very wrong.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO YESSSSSSS
every time everything resets Speedwagon needs a moment to reorient himself because as much as he is now an omnipotent being, he can see ë̷̼́ṽ̶̤e̶̱͌ṟ̴̓y̶̫̾t̶̼̀h̵̘̏ì̵̹n̶͉̈́g̶̦͒ so he needs to narrate how things are repeating and stuff
it puts both men on edge, but for different reasons. Rohan because of the fact that yeah he's currently ready to look into a serial killer things going all Weird really isn't a good sign. He uses everything he can to his advantage including Speedwagon's narration, so things will hopefully go smoother than canon
Abbacchio tho? He's lowkey freaking out a bit because he has no fucking clue what's happening. At this point Abbacchio has been on the fence of whether the voice is real or not, after all it could possibly be a Stand, but whether it's real or not it's enough to get him to start to panic a bit
