✨Stand Bullshit✨

oh boy here we go-

(also just a heads up, these are all based on when I was

1) First one's easy: the Stone Ocean ending. I was bawling my goddamn eyes out and I Was Not Okay for a long time and honestly I still get a little teary watching the finale even now. It's sad, but also hopeful in a way that makes the sadness even more apparent

2) Gyro's death and the aftermath........ god that one hurt a lot

3) Abbacchio's death because not only was there my own grief because he was one of my favorites of Golden Wind, but there was also the character's grief that pushed me over the edge and that fucking bus scene....... that one h u r t e d

4) I kinda have a tie for this one being a) Jonathan's death. I was rewatching Phantom Blood a bit ago and now that I've gotten more attached to Jonathan? His and Erina's goodbye killed me and I started tearing up, and b) Holy's death in Jojolion and Gappy calling her mom....... fuck that hurt

5) Caesar's death, simply because I was not at all prepared for it. It completely blindsided me so those emotions came out of nowhere and I wasn't able to prepare

JSRBDVJSDBVJSBEVS YESSSSSSSSS

oh my god that's absolutely hilarious and I positively adore it

just. For as long as Joseph could remember, he'd always just been good with corvids and whatever other birds would find themselves on his window sil. He's basically got his own communication network in New York and gets all sorts of gossip from all around. And sure he wouldn't say no to helping out injured birds, he also won't say no to Shiny Trinkets being brought as gifts

I like to imagine that Joseph's horde is honestly really big. There's not much in there with monetary value, mostly things like bottle caps, metal bits, shiny rocks and the like, but every once in a while he'll get a gem or jewlery or two, which I'd imagine he usually gifts to Erina

speaking of gifting, I'd imagine that Joseph was SUPER picky on when and what he'd gift. He only ever gave things from his horde to those he really trusted and cared for, and for years that was only Erina and Speedwagon, with the addition of Smokey somewhere down the line.

and I'm gonna be honest, I love the idea of when Joseph arrives in Italy the first thing he does is introduce himself to the local corvid population. It's a little weird having to work from the ground up after having his network for so long, but it's a welcome challenge and fun meeting so many new birds

I also like to think that during their fight Caesar is just. BURIED in corvids, just because I think I'd be funny if there were way more corvids in this AU than there were pidgeons in canon. Just for the shits and giggles

but also ough Joseph's going to be so freaking lonely-

Honestly? it wouldn't surprise me if Joseph got a little claustrophobic on Air Supplena. He wouldn't be able to fly and the only way on and off the island is the occasional boat, leaving him functionally trapped in a way he's never really been before. Sure the island's big but it's not that big, especially for someone as active as Joseph

I'd imagine whenever Joseph gets any visitors he treats them as well as he can. Snacks, preening, maybe even a little hamon boost to chase the fatigue away, anything to make their trip worth it so they'd keep coming back. I'd imagine he asks them all sorts of questions...... but one of the most prevelant one is about the flight over. What did the sea look like, how many clouds were there, were the wind currents rough or smooth, what did the island look like from above, etc etc

(this behavior ofc confuses the HELL out of Caesar and he honestly has no idea what any of it means. He already thought it was strange how much Jojo seems to like corvids, but this....... this was weird in it's own way. And who knows, maybe for a tad of fluff, Joseph ends up teaching Caesar how to care for birds)

but also switching gears to a much more lighthearted topic, the idea of sheep just liking Jonathan's vibes is hysterical to me and I love it so much-

also for Bonding Reasons, what if the reason Jonathan had such a hard time with Danny in the begining is because of his previous difficulties with dogs? He wasn't super stoked about his father giving him one, but eventually he and Danny bonded and grew incredibly close as a result

also, I love the mental image of a Tiny Beast Jonathan following Danny around and that habit sticking with him even when he's substancially bigger than him

Hi :DDD

1) Jotaro, I'm sure to nobody's surprise. What can I say, I love this traumitized ocean man <3

2) Joseph, because he's just...... so fucking chaotic and silly but also cares SO damn much

3) Gappy, this silly little amnesiac is such a funky dude, he's trying his best and also has one of the arguably healthiest romatic relationships in this whole series

4) Jonathan, I've definitely been endeared to this silly gentleman because of all the AUs and fics I've come in contact with-

5) Giorno, because just. He's so traumitized but also gets a crime found family to help him out with it

Yesssssssssssssssss

Jotaro just. Stares at Jonathan for several seconds and for a moment Jonathan's worried he doesn't believe him but then he lets out the longest, most exausted sounding sigh Jonathan's ever heard

Jotaro's So Fucking Exhausted He Didn't Sign Up For Any Of This He Just Wanted His Family To Be Safe God Dammit-

luckily/unluckily he recognizes the fact that there is nowhere near enough time nor it is safe enough to stay here and ask questions, so he decides to go ahead with his plan to get "Jolyne" out and to the Foundation. After all, they deal with all sorts of magical fuckery, they might know what to do here

the escape is definitely Awkward since their of them really know what to say, but you're abslutely right in that Jonathan freaks out a bit when he learns but canon does go the same way with Jotaro getting his brain and Stand yoinked and him going comatose

and just. OUGH I love the idea of Jonathan hesitating to go back. His morals are gonna be clashing so freaking hard because on one hand there is a lot of danger inside those walls and he doesn't want to endager Jolyne, but on the other he doesn't want to abandon Mr.Kujo like this. The man came here to save his daughter, and he's now in a state like death because of how he wasn't the woman he came for (ofc, this is how canon would have gone but Jonathan doesn't know that :3c)

I couldn't have worded it better myself and also I'm losing my mind (/pos) over these beautiful Jonaeriwagon headcanons because Y E S

the way I've always been thinking of George is sort of a "You Tried Your Best But It Was What You Thought Was Best." I don't doubt he loved Jonathan and Dio, but what he saw as helping them ultimately did cause a lot of harm

but also now I'm rotating so many soft things as they raise George II together-

Jonathan indulging George's interests, reading up on them so they have things to talk about, listening to him as much as he can to his son never feels unheard or shoved to the sidelines or like nobody believes him

Speedwagon always making sure George has what he needs but also teaching him how to value and safe guard what he has, giving him tips on the ins and outs of the seedier parts of the world in case he ever gets in a rough spot so he won't be caught off guard

Erina making sure it's absolutely clear that no matter what happens, no matter what embarassing or terrifying thing could be done to him, they will always love and respect him and that he could come to them for help, how he always can say no and fight back if he feels it's approprate

THEY SURE AS HELL DO

Erina and Speedwagon lying ontop of Jonathan and sleeping together, listening to the rhythmic sounds of his breathing as it lulls them to sleep. Years later, the two do the same with Joseph, letting his coils wrap around them and let him use his wings to cover them, letting the bitter sweet memories wash over them as they hold their grandson so gently

Lisa Lisa and George II holding eachother so very gently in the night in their own little world together, love and caring and wishing this could last for an eternity. Just once Joseph was there with them, a tiny ball of scales and still growing wings

the night before they leave, Jotaro sitting by Holly's side, sitting vigil through the night and being just close enough that she can run her hands through his fur and scales. When everything's over he drags as many blankets and pillows as he can and for the first time in years sleeps by her side and Joseph joins them, coiling his enormous body around the pair and using his wings to create an almost protective cover

during Jotaro's visit to Morioh, Josuke gets to spend his full moon with someone like him for the first time. He sets up everything, builds the perfect nest to share out of immediate sight and protected and shows Jotaro his works, hesitant and shy and hoping Jotaro likes it. Jotaro barely thinks twice before corling up around Josuke, grooming his fur and feathers as gently as possible

sometimes on the nights where Jolyne is able to sneak out of the prision and Jotaro is close enough she'll ride on his back, wrapping herself around his body and listen to his breathing, a gentle reminder that he isn't dead or gone forever, just a little lost

HEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEH YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

yesyesyesyesY E S

just. The whole time it happens Jonathan is loosing his fucking mind because neither of them had time to prepare. Things were fine and then they weren't and before they could blink the both of them were covered in a raging inferno that blazed and burned their skin without mercy. Burrowing underground was less of a thought out plan and more terrified desperation to escape from the heat any way they could

this is also going to add even more horror and fear on Joseph's end witnessing this happen, since right now he'd be the only person who knows just how scared Jotaro is of fire. Kakyoin, Polnareff and maybe Anne might've been able to pick up on how he seemed to have some kind of aversion to it, but only Joseph knows what happened in that jail cell. Only Joseph knows how Star Platinum had lashed out, eyes wide and unseeing and terrified, how Jotaro was on the verge of a panic attack, how since then his grandson had always kept a close eye on Avdol and Magician's Red and its flames when it was present

he knows how much fire scares Jotaro and he has to watch him nearly die by one of the things that scares him most

he definitely hovers around Jotaro for the next couple days, which Jotaro hates but is too shaken up (not that he'll admit it) to fully reject it. Jonathan is also on a hair trigger in the following days and will jump out for "protection" if so much as an unlit lighter or candle gets too close

Jonathan also takes REALLY good care of Jotaro's burns. Like, almost religiously. He knows some things that Erina taught him and he uses that knowledge combined with some modern stuff to make sure none of the burns get infected and stuff. This behavior honestly adds more to the "What The Fuck Is Up With My Stand" list in Jotaro's head, but there's no way in HELL he'd let anybody else treat these specific injuries so he lets it go
