✨Stand Bullshit✨

holy fuck wait a minute yeah-

While the nature of the relationship likely wouldn't be the same as it would be in canon (after all, Erina would be like. 12/13 years old and Jolyne is 19), she still would've seen Erina as a very close friend. I don't doubt that Jolyne would still step in when those two other kids were bullying her, albeit unlike Jonathan her reasoning wouldn't be anything chivialry related. Hell, with the help of Stone Free, Jolyne might even be able to win that fight

Erina would still seek her out afterward, and while Jolyne wouldn't reciprocate the romantic feelings the other girl had...... well, Jolyne's pretty lonely. Sure there's Danny, but he is a dog, and Erina's kind and sweet and nice to hang around, and open minded enough that I think she'd be okay with Jolyne asking if they could be just friends

but of course, this is the 1880s in England, and naturally most people assume the pair to be romantically involved, especially given how close they are

Dio being one of them

you're absolutely right in how Jolyne is going to be brutal. Words can not properly express how overwhelmingly pissed she is going to be about all this, and what makes things worse for Dio is how no matter what he does, Jolyne just won't go down. Despite how much he punches and kicks, all his attacks seem either magically miss or just bounce right off (ofc, this is thanks to Stone Free), so Jolyne gets hardly a scratch on her. Hell, she's probably not even going to stop when George arrives, no matter what he says or what punishments he threatens to inflict.

now, do the both of these things make it easier for Dio to spin the story in his favor? Admittedly yes. I'd imagine she tries to tell George about what happened, about what Dio did, only to get brushed off because in his eyes Jolyne was the instigator here who beat poor, poor Dio near to death over some girl

I'd imagine after this incident, the shakey bond Jolyne might've had with George snapped completely

as for Danny........

Dio would probably still kill him. Sort of as a last ditch effort, a final attempt at getting some kind of control over the situation to remind Jojo of his place and what happens if he were to cross Dio

it backfires horribly

because before, Jolyne might've forgiven him. It would have taken YEARS and a lot of growth, but Jolyne is not blind to the environment and time they live in, where women are barely more than pretty objects and Dio has been given almost free reign as a noble's new adopted son. Before, she might've been able to forgive him because Dio was barely 12 and still a child and had likely learned a lot of things that weren't good. It could have been a mistake, one that someday he could look back at and be ashamed of

but then he kills Danny. He kills Danny by locking him in the incinerator and burning him alive

and Jolyne realizes he's doing this on purpose. That this wasn't just plain jealously, this was Dio actively doing everything in his power to make sure Jolyne would hurt

He's still 12. He's still a child.

But Jolyne will not take this lying down and she vows to herself she will never be his friend

(one night when she's alone, Jolyne feels the briefest bit of relief that she's here in this body. Just for a moment, just for a second, if only so the kindhearted 12 year old Jonathan who's messy journals sit on the bookcase didn't have to face Dio by himself)

OH MY GOD I WAS THINKING THAT SPEEDWAGON ONLY VOICED PARTS AFTER HIS DEATH BUT HOLY FUCK THAT'S SO MUCH FUNNIER

oh my g o d I haven't laughed this hard in ages thank you for this I love it

Zeppeli had beef with this voice because he only ever seemed to appear at the worst possible moment. His ship's being attacked by vampires and his father nearly killed him? Finding the Hamon Masters and trying to convince them to take him in? Being told he has a fucking death prophecy??? Now is not the TIME voice so please for the love of all that is holy please s h u t -

this is the real reason the Baron hits Speedwagon so hard when he explains that he wants to learn Hamon

and just. wesfcujaebfuae Suzie sweetie honey-

I LOVE the mental image of Suzie just saying this with a perfectly straight face and Speedwagon's just sitting there like "what :D?" and has honestly no idea where to take this conversation from here

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

oooooooooo this is an interesting one, but I'm definitely gonna have to think on this one (also these definitely isn't in order because I was having a lot of trouble weighing the jojo villains vs disney villains so I just decided "screw it" and put them in the order I made the pairs)

1) Pucci with Scar because I like the idea of him winning for a period of time but failing to satisfy the goals of those working for him since he lacks Dio's charisma and in the end when he throws them away because of his power, when he's weakest those very same minions end up being the ones to tear him apart

2) not technically a death but Diavolo with Jafar, because I like the idea of him gaining ultimate power, ie the Arrow, but having that very same power being his undoing (however if you wanna get technical, he does die as a genie in the sequel to Aladdin so.... it might count?)

3) Kars with Maleficent's defeat, pretty much just for the Cool Factor. Not much reasoning I can give here except for the fact it'd look cool as hell and ngl it sounds fun to draw

4) Kira with Shan Yu because of the fun symbolism to replace the ambulance irony. Him going out with a literal bang thanks to the fireworks and drawing so much attention to himself after he spent so much time and energy to not be noticed

5) this one isn't quite as similar as the previous but it'd be a CRIME to leave Dr.Facillier off a list of my favorite villains, so I'm pairing him with Dio and I do think it'd be interesting to have him be dragged away into the depths by the very dark powers he chose to tamper with

and also as a sort of +1 at the end because I liked the idea but REFUSE to say Valentine is a favorite of mine so

+1) Valentine with Madame Medusa's (she the villain from Rescuers Down Under) because I want this man to be eaten alive by crocodiles <333

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

y e s s s s s s s s s s s s

I don't have much to add but in my head Jotaro and Jonathan are on both the same and opposite ends of the same Vibe simultanously and I love them for that <3
