I'm currently reading/watching Oedipus the King in my Theatre Appreciation class and now I'm imagining a scenario where Bruno has a vision so horrible that he rips his eyes out.

Some Giorno ships/dynamics: (not necessary ships I like or dislike)
Giorno x Sheila (GioSheila); she sees Giorno as God, Giorno sees her like a diamond in the mud that he must polish and polish by testing. Bonus if you have Fugo being in love with Sheila, while she has eyes only for Giorno.
Giorno x Diavolo (giodia); AU where Giorno builds his way up to become the right hand of Diavolo, then backstabs him bc Diavolo isn't efficiently running the mafia. Imagine a punishment where Diavolo is used and abused over and over by Giorno, and the process resets thanks to GER.
Giorno x Bruno (brugio): I think there’s enough evidence to see Bruno as Giorno’s first love; possibly the only soft spot left in Giorno after he emerges ruthless as Don Giovanna.
Giorno x Jotaro (giotaro): smooth italian that won’t give up chasing x disillusioned scientist whose life is a mess.
Giorno x Dio (giodio): Oedipus & Orestes complex all in one.
Giorno x Pucci (giopucci): I think it would have been interesting to see how Pucci would react to someone that is a lot like Dio, but not quite Dio.

Hello! Would you mind doing Giorno and Dio for the headcanon thing?
Giorno Giovanna
1. sexuality
Thot. I think he’s a lot like Dio in this respect; possibly pan and would do anything to get what he wants. Araki also emphasized the carnal pleasure aspect of Dio, and we see that in Giorno as well; even though it’s not fully bloomed yet: the way he holds his stand or Mista, the choice of outfit, etc.
2. otp
I see Giorno as a thot, so all Giorno ships have validity to me, but some favorites are:
Giorno x Sheila; she sees Giorno as God, Giorno sees her like a diamond in the mud that he must polish and polish by testing. Bonus if you have Fugo being in love with Sheila, while she has eyes only for Giorno.
Giorno x Diavolo; Imagine an AU where Giorno either starts off or builds his way up to become the right hand of Diavolo, and then backstabs him, because Giorno thinks Diavolo is not efficiently running the mafia. And if you want to take it pretty dark, imagine a punishment where Diavolo is used and abused over and over by Giorno, and the process resets thanks to GER.
Giorno x Bruno: I think there’s enough evidence to see Bruno as Giorno’s first love; possibly the only soft spot left in Giorno after he emerges ruthless as Don Giovanna. Long explanation here.
Giorno x Jotaro: smooth italian that won’t give up chasing x disillusioned scientist whose life is a mess.
Giorno x Dio: Oedipus & Orestes complex all in one.
Giorno x Pucci: I think it would have been interesting to see how Pucci would react to someone that is a lot like Dio, but not quite Dio.
Jolyne x Giorno: the only ship where bottom Giorno is acceptable.
3. brotp
Giorno & Jolyne & Josuke. Stone Ocean would have been interesting with all 3 JoJos fighting together.
4.notp
None
5. First headcanon that pops into my head
When his emotional state becomes overwhelming, Golden Experience probably starts acting subconsciously. Imagine plants growing, insects humming, and animals running around the place, and the environment changes depending if positive or negative emotions. Maybe love or happiness would results in something garden like, while anger in something like a jungle.
6. how do I identify with this character?
Childhood trauma and high IQ, but I’m not as calm as Giorno.
7. thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
In the few interactions he had with Sheila, he was unusually rude. I don’t know if it was because of her being a foreigner to the gang, or he has some prejudices against girls.
8. cinnamon roll or problematic fave
I think a large part of the fandom sees Giorno as a cinnamon roll, but to me he’s problematic fave.
***

Dio Brando
1. sexuality
Original Thot TM. Araki has confirmed Dio is pretty much pansexual. And the fact that he is vampire add to that, because there are interpretations of vampires being about promiscuity.
2. otp
Giorno x Dio (see above)
Dio x Erina: I think Erina and Jonathan were in a way Dio’s first crushes, and he never quite got over Erina rejecting him. He saw some hints of his mother in Erina, in terms of someone that could possibly love him unconditionally and as a woman he could respect. But Erina rejected him, thus refusing to save him, and Dio never quite forgave her.
Dio x Jotaro: Horny interpretation of man killing God. I think there’s some potential in this ship, because Jotaro was the one to end the source of the JoJo curse. At the same time he did kill an ascended human, so there’s some metaphorical about it.
3. brotp
It’s hard for me to think of a brotp with Dio, because I feel he wants to dominate; he’s the King, the rest are pawns.
4. notp
N/A
5. First headcanon that pops into my mind
His illusions of grandeur were caused by his mother’s hysterical fits. She probably experienced mental breakdowns a lot, due to an abusive husband and women being treated like shit overall at the time. She may be pushed weird ideas on Dio during those times.
6. ways I relate to the character
Dio is a transhuman. I would also reject my humanity.
7.  thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
For being vulnerable to the sun, why go to Florida or Egypt, and have battles there?
8. cinnamon roll or problematic fave
cinnamon roll (Dio did nothing wrong, I would also reject my humanity!)
