Ok people saying that Jotaro doesn’t care for Jolyne did not watch the same series that I did…
Jotaro obviously cares a lot about Jolyne and his (nameless, CMON ARAKI 😭) ex- wife. He just left them because he didn’t know how to communicate to them that there was a powerful superbeing stuck inside him and that no matter where he went trouble was going to follow him.
{edit} Another angle to add to this: Jotaro probably didnt see himself as deserving of a normal life and family- he found happiness in his wife and daughter but knew the looming threat of enemy stand users would eventually bring harm to his precious family.
Just like Holly, who he didn’t know how to protect other than putting himself in a jail cell, he ran away to protect the two women he loved.
And you’re thinking: ok, so why did he go to Japan? Well; he knew Josuke was a stand user. He knew that he was connected to Joseph, and felt more equipped to handle a situation that didn’t involve regular people like his wife and his (then stand-less) daughter.
Jotaro isn’t very good with words. He’s not the best communicator, something he never really grows out of. So the only way he can protect the people he loves is getting the hell away from them and hoping the bad follows him instead.
Which also feeds into my Autistic Jotaro theory but that’s a whole other rant
erina teaches joseph crochet, knitting, and sewing as a kid, which he loves
since it was so important to him, he teaches holy because that's one of the biggest ways he bonded with erina and he wants to share it with his own daughter
holy, loving mother she is, teaches jotaro in order to help him with attention to detail and impulse control, and in an effort to be closer to her son
jotaro picks up on sewing and embroidery more than crochet or knitting which is why he customizes his uniform, why holy doesn't object to it, and why he has consistent outfits with recurring design elements.
it's a grounding thing for him to have control of his clothes and making/altering them himself allows him to accommodate his sensory needs and fix them if they're damaged (he's a rowdy boy who gets in many fights, they're gonna be damaged)
then, because its the only thing that ever worked for holy when trying to bond with him, he teaches jolyne (or tries to) and while she doesn't take to it as much as her predecessors and he only really gets the chance while she's really young, she learns enough to use with her own stand later on, at least as a starting point to learn new skills as she goes
I'm bored and I don't have any jojo art for now so, any of you have jotaro headcanons? More specificallly autistic jotaro headcanons <3 i wanna read through some and maybe even draw them
Jotaro made friends his freshman year of college and stuck with them the rest of his college career. Moved in with them his sophomore year into a cute little house that was worn down but fit all four to five of them and he would literally do more than die for them. Some of his friends are girls because I say so and they all vibe and smoke weed
