✨Stand Bullshit✨

Hey would you be interested in the idea of Pucci and Weather being swapped? As in the mother took Enrico instead of Domenico.

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

that's honestly a really interesting idea because of how much and how little it might change things because like. This does bring into question how their interests and desires would change what they do and want, not to mention how there were some aspects of the situation that were specific to them

For example, would Pucci still want be a priest? And if he did, would he still end up hearing his "mother" confess her sins in the confessional booth? Would he even take interest in Perla???

And Domenico? What about him? Off the top of my head I can't think of any way to learn the truth of Pucci's relationship, so would he even learn at all? Not to mention, Domenico's style is more to confront things outright, so the racist detective agency likely wouldn't even get involved

Honestly, the only thing that stays somewhat intact is Pucci meeting with Dio and obtaining the Arrow, which leads me to how I think the AU will go

simply put, there is no tragedy. Pucci never crosses paths with Perla and Domenico never learns of Pucci's relation to him.......

or at least at first

let's say Pucci ends up accidentally cuts himself on the arrow one day. After all, he did keep it in his pocket unwrapped, it was only a matter of time for him to accidentally cut himself. He falls ill temporaily, but after a few hours ends up bouncing back and now with the addition of a weird spirit buddy who only he can see

however, unbeknownst to him across town Domenico collapsed at the exact same time, burning up from a fever, and was seemingly miraculously healed hours later also with a weird spirit buddy

and well....... Stand Users are attracted to each other after all

it starts as little things. Passing eachother in the street, going to the same diners at the same times, so on so forth, and it was honestly only a matter of time before it was revealed they both had Stands. Their "friendship" was definitly one that sparked out of nessecity rather then actually having anything in common, but with the both of them desperate for anyone who could prove they weren't crazy, they took it

and honestly, I can see their friendship being more "frenemies" in the begining. They don't hate eachother, but they didn't quite get along. Maybe for some fun :) something that really starts to bring them together is meeting another Stand User who has...... less that pure intentions and almost killed them, and they had to work together to fight them off? But yeah after that, their friendship becomes more..... solid, so to speak

the truth of their relationship is going to be a fun reveal, especially since I doubt Pucci's mother would forget the name of the family whom she stole a whole ass child from, so learning Pucci and the family's remaining son had become close friends? That's going to stress her out immensely, and it does raise the question of whether she tells Pucci vs Pucci finding out

I'll admit, I'm not fully sure how Dio falls into things here. Maybe if things go the route of Pucci Finding Out, it could lead to him running away from home and seeking out Dio? But that might be a bit too much of a reaction, so maybe some added layer of tragedy happens ontop of the reveal too

however, the why and how aside, Domenico is 100% chasing after him, he's not going to let his Bestie go off all by himself

Question for the Speedwagon Narrator AU: Does he continue to narrate into part 7 and beyond, does Stephen Steel get that honor, or do they co-narrate parts 8 and 9?

I. Absolutely love the idea of Speeds and Steel co-narrating, that sounds like so much fun

but ALSO....... this opens the possibility of Yasuho and Jodio both getting in on this, being the narrators of parts 8 and 9 respectively

do I know where to go with this idea? No not really, however Speedwagon is too powerful to be felled by a mere universal reset, his ability is beyond our mortal comprehension

The final OP of stone ocean gave me the silliest idea. Essentially I saw how they made callbacks to the Phantom Blood OP, having Pucci and Joylne fight in the crumbling remains of the Joestar mansion, just as Dio and Jonathan once did. Well let's make this literal, shall we? 😉 The end of the old universe goes exactly as canon, Pucci kills all his enemies but Emporio escapes. Except what awaits him after the end... isn't the prison. Instead he finds himself in a home richer than anything he's ever read in his books. And it's on FIRE. Two men he's never seen before are locked in a fight to the death, screaming and lashing, and with everything he's already gone through, now THIS? His heart is about to give out- until the Priest shows up in the door frame. And says they're in the new year of this universe's 1889. As Emporio forgets all about the two strange guys and decides to fucking HOOF it for dear life, he can hear Pucci tailing him ever so steady, despite the horrible heat from all sides, explaining what heaven REALLY was, how he and Dio planned this for so long, how all his enemies were gone except one, and he was gonna finish it in the place where it ALL started. Through ash and embers, the last hope of the joestars will die with their ancestral home. The hallways are a maze, and he can't even breathe. The child pitifully is reduced to a crawl, lungs heaving the smoke, and the priest closes in on his final victim, not noticing how Dio and Jonathan's attention have turned to them the moment their presence became known...

OOOOOOOOOO YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh my god I ADORE this and I had a fucking THOUGHT

because of course Jonathan is going to be concerned. He's just spotted a child being chased through a burning building, absolutely terrified

but Dio...... with Dio it's going to feel more personal :)

normally Dio wouldn't have cared. By all means, he shouldn't have. He had no idea who this child was and therefor would have no investment in his safety or wellbeing

but then through the smoke and ash, Dio manages to make something out

Blonde hair and gold eyes with a man looming over

"Ironic, is it not. That with her final breath she futilely kept you safe from me." the man speaks, and just over the din of cracking wood and snapping fire Dio can make out the words. "And just like her, there will be no one left to mourn you."

And Dio remembers soft hands keeping him safe and holding him close being brutally ripped away before his eyes, remembers his only protection and happiness being cooling and dying while he did nothing, remembers the sharp scent of alcohol and the ache of bruises, remembers trying to get away but always being pulled back, remembers begging, pleading for it to stop but it always falling on deaf ears, remembers remembers REMEMBERS-

and Dio

sees

red

his battle with Jonathan is all but forgotten as he bolts across the room, the man's neck easily found in his grip and hauled up into the air. He doesn't even attempt to drink the man's blood, doesn't want the filth that reminds him to much of his father staining his stomach, and instead stares into him with every ounce of hatred he has. The carnal part, the predator part of his mind that had been heighten to an incredible degree and lusts for his death

so he does. Barely gives the man a chance to react, to speak, to comprehend what was happening to him. Looking back Dio almost thinks he saw something akin to recognition in the man's eyes, but he just waves it off as something conjured by his clouded mind

and Emporio...... he can only stare. Pucci, Whitesnake, the man who'd been haunting him since he knew how to walk, who'd killed EVERYONE...... was simply dealt with just like that

he should probably be afraid of the man who killed him. After all, obviously the man was a Stand User, there wasn't any other way to explain how fast he moved or how strong he was or the slitted eyes

But Emporio honestly couldn't care less

he'd seen monsters. You didn't grow up in a prison without learning very quickly how to tell the monsters apart from the rest

and right now....... this man wasn't a monster. Monstrous maybe, but not a monster

"What's your name, boy?" he asks, his voice deep but also quiet, as if he can't believe what he's seeing

"My name is Emporio." he says back

(tl:dr, vampires are just murderous cats with opposable thumbs and Emporio has obtained One(1) new father figure and Dio, who doesn't want to be a shitty dad, is Doing His Best To Make Him Genuinely Happy and if that means having to get along with Jojo then so be it)

((doesn't mean he has to like it though))

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

-oc anon

SHVBHVCHVTFDVDVF

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

beastars au brainrot is real. what the hell happens to dio in this au after he steals Jonathan's body

i aM GLAD YOU'VE ASKED >:3333

basically, now Dio has access to Morph Sheepdog Moose Lion. Since he stole Jonathan's whole body instead of getting the genes, he doesn't get his own were-form

now, there are positives and negatives to Dio's obtaining of the body

Positives, Jonathan's were-form was already ridiculously strong and tanky as fuck, so giving it vampire regeneration, super strength and speed puts it in a WHOLE nother ball park. He is horrifyingly powerful and under normal circumstances very few would hope to stand a chance

however, there's also a really big negative, and that's how little control Dio has, for two reasons. 1) Dio has no idea how to control the new beast side of himself because unlike Jonathan, he hasn't had his whole life to grow and learn and figure it out. And 2) Jonathan's body is still rejecting him

As a result, Dio's essentially a mindless beast whenever he transforms, and because of his strength there's nobody who can keep him contained during his forced nights (thankfully even as a beast he has enough sense to stay hidden, but there have been more then a few close calls and he has a VERY big body count from poor unsuspecting victims who were out at night)

and of course, because of how unruly he is one of Dio's main strengths becomes null. Sure he has the physical strength, but any kind of planning or thing which requires setting up becomes impossible for him and it's pretty easy to plan around him

does this make escape or defeat easy? No, not in the slightest. However, leading him into traps is almost child's play

The In Your Blood au! I think in this au Ceaser doesn’t help the Nazi’s and let them study his hamon, because there’s no way British soldier George Joestar 2 would ever allow one of his sons (yes he’s claimed all of Mario’s kids as his) work for the nazis.

So that would mean that in this au, they have to find another way to get into the catacombs since the Germans are guarding it. Of course they probably just plan to knock out the guards… but then they see the horror show awaiting them…

WELL >:3

I'm going to be completely honest, I totally forgot about that part of Part 2 and mentally replaced it with something completely different so I'm just going to use that instead of canon shefbhsbfvs

basically, the Hamon Users had been guarding and watching over the Pillarmen for generations before the Nazis got involved. It's part of the reason why Air Supplena was built where it was, so there could be a Hamon HQ of sorts for the remains of the Clan to gather and that Hamon Users could be nearby at all times to defend and watch over the slumbering Pillarmen

Unfortunately, as the years stretched on and already dwindling numbers of Hamon Users, there were fewer and fewer people to keep watch and the exact specifics of the Pillarmen started to fade. By the time the Joestars and Zeppelis inhabited the island, there was almost no one left. Mario ended up learning about that part of the world and took it upon himself to stand up as a new guard, and while he did learn some Hamon, it wasn't nearly enough to avoid his death

so this time, infiltrating the Colosseum is less going to investigate and more the Hamon Users trying to get these assholes who don't know what they're getting into out before they do something stupid

unfortunately for them, they're not fast enough and the Pillarmen are still awoken

admittedly, this is where my plans for the AU start to..... derail a bit. Joseph has W A Y more training in this AU, and on top of that he's been learning how to fight since he was a baby. He would honestly would stand a way better chance at a fight this time, however he's still outnumbered three to one

so I had a possible idea for how things could go

The Pillarmen's whole goal is finding the Aja, something Joseph would probably be aware of even if he isn't sure why they want it. So what if like canon, Joseph manages to talk his way out of it...... but instead of promising a better fight, he ends up making a bet so to speak. In 33 days, the Pillarmen and three Hamon Users will meet at any location of their choosing to fight, and the winner gets to keep their lives and the Aja. He cites how if they're looking for a fight, he's knows more Users who can give it to them, and if they succeed they'll get the thing they've been looking for for thousands of years

after briefly conferring with Kars........ they agree to the terms of the deal

but, well, how do they know Joseph isn't going to simply run off? That the second they let him go, the Hamon Users won't disappear without a trace taking the Aja with them?

so Joseph still gets the wedding rings placed on him........ but they also take it a step further

Joseph is now their hostage, and if he tries to escape or help is sent before their fight, he can kiss the antidote goodbye :)

childhood friends AU, Shigechi ends up following Keicho around because Fellow Colony-Type Stand User! Hello! Be my friend!

And Keicho's just like who's this strange spiky gremlin child. He's mellowed out enough to tolerate him but mostly just ignores him.

JFGBJDBGVFBF Y E S -

what if Keicho got into the habit of stationing Bad Company all around town when he and the others first began living in Morioh in order to keep watch incase Dio ever sent any Stand Users after them. No matter how many times Hol Horse tells him that Dio is gone and they're safe now, he just can't shake the paranoia

So the others just. Let him, because what he's doing was harmless and made him feel safer and secure, so there was no really reason to stop it.

And then one day a few years later, a soldier of Bad Company ends up meeting a Harvest drone

There's definitely a moment of panic and Oh God Oh Fuck It's Finally Happened Someone's Come To Take Them Away-......and then he finds out the User is a Literal Child who didn't even fully know what a Stand was

Definitely not a threat.

but of course, Shigechi thinks this is the absolute coolest thing ever. There's another person! Like he is!!! And he has siblings with these weird powers!!!!!

Shigechi absolutely uses Harvest to give him weird tiny things Harvest has found around Morioh, and Keicho denies any and all possible attachment but as the years stretch on it becomes clear that while he may not show it Shigechi has grown on him

He has a whole drawer dedicated to the weird stuff Harvest gives him
