South Park romance hcs, except I’m Aroace and don’t know the first thing about romance

(this whole thing is a slash jay, also aged up cuz like???? Duh???) edit: bro I started working on this at around 2 am and then I blinked and now it’s 3 am what the scallop

Edit 2: ok cool I just figured out how to put the read more thing that’s pretty nifty

Also sorry if any of these feel ooc it is WAYYY too late for my mind to process anything rn it’s mush these are just the bits and pieces that I’ve picked up from the slop

I only have Kyle, Leslie, Stan, Clyde, Kenny, and Bebe for now but I’ll like.. edit it later I guess, later when I get more brainworms (also totally not self projecting onto them. Yes I know I’m a total loser)

Kyle: ASEXUAL KYLE CANON ASEXUAL KYLE CANON!!! /srs HES LITERALLY ME

-Has realllyyy big problems with expressing emotions aka feelings in general it’s an autism thing (like Craig)

-Which also makes him all weird with like physical contact n stuff?? “Get ur dirty paws offa me” typa shit

-ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO STUFF LIKE POKING/PRODDING!! He will probably sucker punch just about anyone who gets close and honestly, not feel sorry about it (I wouldn’t either)

-love language is…. Nothing. Lmao

-jkjk it’s probably some shit like gift giving??? But like, in a different way than you think. Just think about that one “can I just do your laundry someday” scene, but instead of laundry it’s homework. what is that love language called someone please tell me I actually have no idea what I’m talking about.

-he thinks about stuff logically a lot of the time, which is why he’ll like NEVER pick up on any hints whatsoever.

-the more I write the more I realize I’m making him sound too much like Craig. Uh

-what is love (baby don’t hurt me..)

-if he EVER does confess, (he won’t.) he’ll probably do it in your like, insta/facebook dms, there is NO way this mf is actually gonna ask someone out face to face

-absolutely despises the idea of uhhh. Yknow. Jacking it in San Diego. WHY???? BECAUSE TRANSMASC KYLE!!!!!!! This is actually canon I’m Matt and Trey.

-he will not make exceptions because he’s in love or whatever (he’s not) you still gotta keep up ur side bc he’s not entirely head over heels!!! He’s not!!!(I think he’s learned his lesson from Leslie)

-single kyle: “bro I hate relationships so bad bro couples need to shut up fr”

-double Kyle: “bro I hate relationships so bad bro I need to shut up fr”

-I feel like he’d be the type to not be able to distinguish platonic feelings from romantic feelings. Why? Because me

-you HAVE to be direct with him because he’ll never be able to figure out anything otherwise. Ur sad? Tell him ur sad. Wait actually don’t he has no idea how to comfort ppl

-best he can do is an awkward pat on the back and a mumble “it gets better…?” 💀 or, if he’s pissed, “wtf am I supposed to do abt that”

-if someone confessed to him first, it would probably go something like this

“I love you”

“???? Are you being /srs or /j???”

“I love you”

“Wow haha that’s so silly never say that again”

or maybe even just a straight up “ew” 💀

-Cupid (Twin Ver)

Leslie!!!

-Leslie is actually Lesbian + aroace oriented . I don’t make the rules sorry, tho the aroace part is more dominant, it’s more like aroace + lesbian oriented

-similar thing with Kyle, but instead of being rude/straightforward about it, she’ll either gaslight you or do this:

“oh, you love me? That’s so funny!! I do too :3”

“Really?”

“yeah!!!”

“Does that mean we can date???”

“What? No!!! I meant that I also love me.”

“…”

“stupid bitch”

-I love her

-was torn between making her lesbian and making her aroace so fuck it we both

-I think she hates men (I do too /j)

-typa girl to run around breaking people’s hearts for the pure fun of it (Michael Jackson reference???)

-she thinks love is a joke. Like genuinely.

Stan:

-…

-I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to characterize this guy

-he canonically jacks it in San Diego so that’s something I guess

-his dog was gay you guys

-bi

-rly hope ur ok with being vomited on (I am not)

-just think of the PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE thing

-gets rly defensive whenever anyone asks him about Wendy

-responds with 👍 or “k” to confessions

-would probably be a discord kitten for nitro /j

-Cupid (jack stauber)

Clyde:

-This man is ALSO bi

-hey 😏 what’s going on 😏

-love language is giving discord nitro /j

“I love you”

“I’m so sorry bro”

-I saw someone say that being bi and single is like playing on both sides of a sports team and still losing. Yeah that’s him, L rizz 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

-this bitch has both Tinder AND Grinder and still remains lonely

-probably because he starts off EVERY conversation with a terrible ass pick up line

“hey bbg sorry I gave you lice but relationships are all about sharing everything with each other😍😍😍”

-PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE thing, but it’s with EVERYONE

Kenny

-there are two types of people, people who say that Kenny is “the straightest kid in South Park” and people who know the TRUTH

-this man is the biggest slut ever

-wasn’t he a prostitute once

-Relationship red flag: he once ate an entire banana with the peel on during a date. Partner horrified, broke up like a day later

-honestly, there’s not much to say, it’s literally kenny

“what’s your love language”

“money”

“MONEY???? BRO AINT NOBODY SPEAK 💴💴💸💶💶💸💎💎💸💵💷💎💰🪪💰💰💶💳🪪”

(it’s actually physical contact but we don’t talk about that)

Bebe

-I love lesbians!

-omni maybe? (Girl leaning)

-Unfortunately scared of relationship commitment

-I’m pretty sure she’s been hit up on multiple times, every time she ghosts/friend zones them

-Has a long distance relationship with Clyde despite living in the same town??

-would probably leave a guy in a restaurant and make him pay the bill

“damn, look at that ass!! 😍😍”

-I feel like she listens to pinkpantheress and maybe coco and Clair Clair

-love language is shoes

Speedwagon: JJBA’s First ‘Woman’

aka a commentary on the treatment of Speedwagon by the fandom, and how it’s managed to fully feminize him in a unique way.

Speedwagon is a main ally in JJBA Part 1. He’s Jonathan’s best friend and yknow does a bunch of shit for him, including creating the Speedwagon Foundation.

Now, what I really want to talk about is how fans treat Speedwagon. The main ‘joke’ of the fandom—which is for some reason both long running and ongoing—is that Speedwagon is the ‘#1 Waifu’ of both JJBA and anime in general. Now, in case u somehow don’t know, a ‘waifu’ is a female anime character that people simp for/consider ‘wife material’ I guess. It’s a term generally used by greasy guys who live in their moms basement. A good example of a ‘waifu’ would be Hinata from Naruto.

So already, this idea of Speedwagon being a waifu feminizes him an intense amount. I mean, it’s literally grouping him together w a bunch of otherwise female anime girls. However, this ‘joke’ also branches into simply using female terms for Speedwagon. Wife, mommy, best girl, and terms along those lines are commonly used to describe him (who I would like to remind everyone is a MAN…)

“Caitie, it’s just a joke. Why is this a problem?”

Well, first of all, it’s just unfunny. It’s the same level of unfunny as when ppl include tequila Joseph or Bruno in a pic of “hot anime girls.” Secondly, part of why I find this so harmful is another factor. Most people agree that Speedwagon is into Jonathan.

It’s not like it was much of a secret. However, people use Speedwagon as a way to joke about gay men. They call him a woman, wife, and overall feminize him the same way homophobes treat actual gay men.

People also use him as a way to joke about other people being gay. This joke isn’t really harmful but it sure is annoying

But the thing that really takes the feminization of Speedwagon to the next level is the way the fandom boils him down to what he’s done for Jonathan—the main (and male) protagonist. Many fandom spaces do this. They only treat female characters “well” if they think she’s been helpful enough or has done enough for the male mc.

I’ve also seen people compare Erina and Speedwagon in a way that’s very reminiscent of arguments like Sakura vs Hinata.

This is what I think makes Speedwagon’s feminization so different from other characters that are also feminized. For example, Noriaki Kakyoin from JJBA Part 3. (Or Bruno, or Doppio, ect, ect) Kakyoin is feminized in a way that fetishizes gay men, as it’s always in ship art/fan fictions with him and Jotaro. Kakyoin is depicted as weak, small, girly, and just overall the female love interest. However, he is still a man. Why? Because this is fetish art drawn by women who are into gay men that fit heteronormative dynamics.

Meanwhile, Speedwagon isn’t generally depicted as small or feminine. Yet, people genuinly act like he’s a woman. They compare him to Erina, they use feminine terms for him, and use him to be their little gay joke.

Anyways I’m done. This is a silly rant but I’m passionate abt it. Leave Speedwagon (and Erina tbh) ALONE!! He is not ur waifu. He is not ur wife. He is just a guy!!

Dating site/famous!race au pt 1

part 2

Anthony Higgins is a famous dancer/actor

Think like Gene Kelly

Jack convinced him to download Tinder as a joke

So he does

He has actual pictures of himself on there

Some people actually do chat w him

But most just think it’s a fake account

Spot finds him and wants to ignore Anthony but decides to chat w him anyway

They become friends

Spot doesn’t think he is actually the Anthony Higgins but likes the guy regardless

“So what’s ur real name?”

“Oh it’s actually anthony but my friends call me racetrack”

“Nice to meet u race”

They exchange numbers and sometimes call while Spot is walking to the subway or race is working out

Race offers to meet up when he’s in New York for work

Spot agrees to meet at a cafe for lunch

But he asks Darcy to come w him incase Race is a serial killer

(Darcy is obsessed w race. Like knows most of his dances and belts any and all of his songs in the shower)

So it doesn’t take much to convince Darcy to come on the off chance it is race

And surprise surprise

Anthony Higgins walks into the small cafe in a hat and glasses

He knows what spot looks like cause he’s seen a few pics of him on his profile

Slides into the seat across from spot

“Sup, spot.”

“Race?”

“Yup. Sorry ‘bout the glasses. Yknow.”

“Oh dear god” spot knows who race is after living w Darcy for three years “it’s actually you”

“Disappointed?”

“Nah. My roommate is half in love with you tho”

Race is flattered

“Well, maybe you should take me to your apartment to meet him” ;)

“He’s not home”

“Even better” ;)

They don’t actually go to spot’s apartment yet

Race is in town for a week so spot decided to wait it out

Even tho he’s kinda in love w race after talking to him for months

So they meet up a few more times

But the paparazzi find them most times and they’re very obviously on a date

And race’s fans lose their MINDS

Who is this guy

Why is he with race

He obviously wants alone time w race

Oh my god is race gay?????

Nooo I wanted to marry him

Maybe he’s bi

Let’s find that guy and ask

So spot gets hunted down by paparazzi and complains abt it to race

Race freaks cause he didn’t want to make spots life hard

And he didn’t even think abt his fame when he started talking to spot cause like he’s kind of oblivious

So race ghosts him after leaving NY

And spot is PISSED

He calls race and leaves many voicemails that are not child appropriate

Race listens to them all and gets very mopey

He comes to stay at Medda’s house to bother his brother between jobs

Jack hates listening to him complain abt how sad he is all the time. Even tho he has no real clue what’s going on

He assumes spot dumped race for the paparazzi incidents

So he hatches a plan

He calls up his ‘friend’ in NY— Davey

Davey works with Darcy at their friend’s publishing house

Darcy gives Davey spot’s number who gives it to jack after talking to spot abt it (we don’t give random men our friends’ numbers)

“Hey this is jack kelly im race’s brother. please for the love of god text him. he’s insufferable”

“I do text him. He’s the one that don’t answer”

“Then why’d you dump him?”

“I didn’t? He ghosted me”

“That asshole”

Jack is pissed now because he’s had to listen to race’s Sad Songs playlist for the past two weeks

He knows he’s self destructive but he assumed race would be better at relationships

So he makes up an excuse to get race to New York

Probably like. Oh I’m meeting this guy and I want to see how you like him

Oh and he’s bringing a friend so it’s like a double date to help you get over spot

(Race has told jack many many things he loves abt spot while they were talking. He def seems like the type to gush abt his partners)

So Davey, who has met spot a few times at kath’s work parties and such, brings spot

Jack brings race

Race walks in, sees spot sitting next to Davey, and hides behind jack

“Oh god there he is”

“Who?”

“Yknow. Spot. So let’s pick a table on the other side of the restaurant”

“Oh, well, that’s funny cause that’s Davey right next to him”

“What. The. Fuck”

Que a very awkward dinner

Davey and jack are already friends so they talk, ignoring spot and race

“So” race eventually says

Spot glares at him

“Fuck you”

“Yeah I deserve that”

“You’re a dick”

“Yeah”

“Glad you know that”

And then spot asks him what he’s been doing these past few weeks

Cause he misses talking to race

Jack proudly watches his little brother stop being a dipshit

By the end of dinner, race and spot are back to talking normally

And jack knows what he has to do

“Say, race. Would it be okay if I went home with Davey?”

“Oooh, getting laid tonight?” ;)

Jack blushes—but this is just to help race get his man back, not cause he’s finally seeing Davey in person since the party they hooked up at. They’re just good friends anyway

“No, no. Davey just needs some help with…a table! Fixing a table”

“Sureee. I’ll see ya in the morning then?”

“Yep. Yeah. Bye!”

So race and spot are left alone to walk around the city

They go to the park and race kisses spot in the dark. Finally

“So, is Darcy home?”

“No he’s over at Kath’s for their scrabble night. Why?”

“Just wondering if I could see that apartment of yours” wink wink

So they walk to spot’s building, stealing kisses in the dark cold night

Spot shoots Darcy a text “don’t come home tonite xx”

“Oh god. Don’t fuck on our kitchen counter. Please. I’ll be at bill’s til tomorrow”

“Good luck ;). And no promises”

They’re kissing before spot can even close the door

“I missed you” race whispers

“Who’s fault is that, huh?”

“Shuddup”

Race does spend the night but nothing much happens

Spot is tired after a long day of doing accounting and race is jet lagged from flying in yesterday from New Mexico

So they fall asleep on the couch, wrapped around each other

Race wakes up with spot on his chest and he feels so full of love that he’s going to burst

He wants to hold spot and never let go

“Babe, I gotta get up” race whispers, slowly moving off the couch

Spot grabs his waist

“Don’t go”

“I have to pee”

Spot smiles softly. “Kay. Can you make me a cup of coffee? With cream”

Race hums and kisses spot’s forehead

He pees and tries to figure out the coffee maker before he realizes it’s already full of water and grounds and all he has to do is press start

Ten minutes later, he wakes spot up again with a cup of coffee and a fair amount of creamer after he remembered spot complaining about how Darcy had used the last of the creamer when they first started texting

“Thank you, racer”

“Thanks for givin’ me a second chance”

Spot snorts. “I don’t have enough coffee in my system to deal with a serious talk”

“Fair enough”

But they do eventually talk

Race apologizes and explains he was scared of the press taking spot from him

Spot asks him to just tell him the next time he makes a decision like that and race agrees

They don’t get much further than that talk before race is kissing spot’s neck

“You’re a heathen”

“A pretty sexy one, tho” ;)

Spot is realizing race winks a lot

They do have sex on the couch

(Darcy would have a heart attack but he hasn’t come home yet. Spot hopes he’s sleeping in at Bill’s house)

Race is very gentle, and spot tells him to not be even though he finds the thought very touching

Race curls up in spot’s arms after, tracing shapes on his biceps

“That tickles!”

“Then stop having such beefy arms!”

“You’re a nightmare”

“Just kiss me”

They get up eventually and take a shower and definitely don’t give each other blow jobs

After, spot makes race scrambled eggs with bacon because that’s all he can do without Darcy’s supervision

Race just kisses him and promises they’re the best he’s ever had

“Oh my god! Morning after dance party!”

Spot rolls his eyes “you’re the dancer here, race. Not me”

Race just takes his phone and connects it to Spot’s Bluetooth speaker

Dancing Queen turns on and race spins spot around the counter

Spot admits (only to himself ofc) that this is the best date he’s ever had

After dancing queen, taylor swift’s Holy Ground queues up and Spot almost dies when Race begins moving his hips with the beat

“Where do you even get these songs?” Spot asks to hide his blush

Race winks

“I made a whole playlist”

“Just for this?”

“Nah. When we started talking I made it in case you had me over and let me stay the night”

“Racer, that was months ago”

“Yeah”

He doesn’t even look embarrassed

Holy fuck, spot in so in love with this loser

Race stays the next night too

Spot drives him to the airport where jack is saying goodbye to Davey

Spot watches Davey awkwardly pat jack’s shoulder

“They’re worse than us”

Race rolls his eyes “Jacks been in love with that kid since they met”

“They obviously slept together after dinner that night”

“Obviously. Look at the hickey on Dave’s neck”

“Ooh, he’s got it bad”

“Now I gotta listen to jack mope”

“Karma”

“Shut the fuck up”

“You love me”

Race chokes. “How could you tell?”

Spot just laughs at his boyfriend(?)

“Hon, you made us a Dance Around the Kitchen the Morning After playlist”

“Fuck. My plans of inviting you to my movie premier and telling you I loved you in front of the cameras so I could have that expression saved forever are ruined!”

Spot can’t stop laughing

“You idiot”

Race kisses him and goes to grab jack by the collar

“Bye! I’ll send the details for the premier when I land and check that I can take you!”

“Bye, race. Send me the playlist too and I’ll add a few!”

“Deal!” Race waves as he gets in line for security and Davey sighs as he watches Jack leave

“Oh, Dave” spot says

“Don’t. It’s hopeless. I know”

(Are all baby gays this stupid? Spot wonders)

“No I was gonna say he’s in love with you. Come on, I need an iced coffee”

Davey follows, stuttering questions about jack and Spot just shakes his head

loving you may mean losing you but i dont mind (jotakak playlist)

dont talk to me about the title of this thing im embarrassed enough

anyway but okay so!!!! very excited to share this!!!! this has been in the works since september but my picky ass finally found an adequate amount of songs so here it is!!!!!! my jotakak playlist (:

special thanks to my lovely and wonderful friend jade for helping me finish this this thing <3

track list nd why i picked the songs that i did under the break!

1. the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us! by sufjan stevens i chose this song because it’s all about internalized homophobia and being in love with your best friend as a kid which RLLY resonates w jotakak imo. esp cause in the song, stevens’ friend ends up leaving abruptly, leaving stevens to wonder about what couldve blossomed if they had stuck together and worked through the difficulties together, which JOTARO....THAT IS JOTARO-CORE esp cause kak also “leaves” (dies). so this song was a v obvious choice for me and in fact this song is what inspired me to create this playlist in the first place

2. we are beautiful, we are doomed by los campesinos! this song is abt being in love with someone but you both have ur issues so it’s kind of a mess. considering jotaro and kakyoin’s (to point it quite frankly) trauma and the fact that both of them do jack shit to try and cope with it healthily, this song DEFINITELY fits them. esp cause this song mentions physical fighting and the imagery that goes with it (”he got his teeth fixed/im gonna break them”, “i’ve got a fist on fire”, etc) and the entirety of the bridge/last verse rlly gives me these two’s vibes so! ya (:

3. love love love by of monsters and men this song is the singer feeling like shes completely unworthy of being loved by this important person in her life, particularly because she has NO idea how to show affection and love the (for lack of better word) “acceptable” way, or any way at all really. this REALLY has jotaro vibes cause he is one repressed motherfucker and as we see the entirety of his story, jotaro is full of love he loves so much it’s just he has no idea how to properly express it cause he’s scared essentially. but that didn’t stop people from loving him, in this case, that being kakyoin. hhhhHHh

4. ribs by lorde this song is about being scared of growing up but due to the lyrics being written the way they are, i kinda spin the interpretation of it to be the fear jotaro and kakyoin had on the crusade to egypt, as they were the youngest and didnt know if they’d make it back and everything is just incredibly overwhelming there is so much going on all the time those 50 days. i can do a full analysis on why but that would be kinda long LMAO. for now let’s leave it at they have a very Unique fear of growing up but it still fits with the lyrics. particularly the last bit of the song with the “youre the only friend i need” verses,,,makes me think of these two...

5. can i call you tonight? by dayglow i interpret this song to be about trying to figure out what, exactly, your feelings are for this very specific and important person in your life. since jotaro and kakyoin r both repressed and also suckers of internalized homophobia, i think they fit that theme very well. particularly with the whole “i feel like we’re close, but maybe we’re not actually? what are we?” theme going on in the lyrics, this whole song makes me think of jotaro and kakyoin figuring out their intense and sudden (cause again only 50 days but also, those 50 days had So Much going on) feelings for each other. also the “now i’m no longer alone” line in the chorus HHHHHHH that’s them

6. la la la love song by toshinobu kubota ft naomi campbell SO I KNOW THIS SONG IS KINDA JUST FLUFF but we need some light-hearted moments in this thing hjgg;. ALSO toshinobu kubota is canonically jotaro’s favorite musician so i wanted to reference that and this was my fav love song of his that i’ve found so far so (: also the “you are my shining star” line,,,heh

7. truce by twenty one pilots so this song is very soft. it’s about tending to wounds and taking a moment before continuing to push on. it makes me think abt jotaro and kakyoin taking care of each other on the journey (for example the lovers arc/n’doul fight). also the whole “stay alive, stay alive for me/you will die, but now your life is free/take pride in what is sure to die” makes me go fucking nuts that is. that fits these two to a T fuck

8. this side of paradise by coyote theory this song has big “two lonely people are in love with each other for the first time” vibes and OHHHHHHHHHH THAT’S JOTAKAK.... there are a lot of little lines that make me specifically think abt these two, such as “love so strong it makes me feel weak” (jotaro-core...), “if you’re lonely come be lonely with me”, “i’ll be yours if you’ll be mine” (wanting some security while ur in love for the first time is common but especially for these two i think it works spectacularly) but yea this song as a whole is just...ohhh them. theyre in lvoe HK;FNJFL

9. i saw you in a dream by the japanese house EVERY. SINGLE. LINE. OF THIS SONG IS POST-EGYPT JOTARO. EVERY SINGLE LINE. and the ghost the singer talks about seeing? they hadnt changed at all? they were such a pretty vision, a perfect hallucination? BRUH... just listen i could do a whole analysis on this song it all just fits jotaro mourning kakyoin throughout the years so so so so well it makes me feel nuts holy shit i just. literally every line. every line fits i am not joking. i cried when i first heard this song LMAO

10. video games by the young professionals SO LMAO obviously kakyoin’s epic gamer moves are being referenced but beyond that i interpret this song to just be the fun parts of being in love esp when ur young (backed up with the “kissing in the blue dark” and the “watching all our friends fall” lines). also the chorus just makes me want to cry cause just, happy jotakak moments PLEASE. “the world was built for two only worth living if somebody is loving you, and baby now you do” THEYRE NOT ALONE ANYMORE THEY FOUDN EACH OTHER IM GONAN WAILLLLLLL oh my god. im nuts theynkjNJKNJF also “i heard that you like the bad girls” please. these two shitty teenagers

11. ikanaide by sohta ft. yuki kaai this song is abt not wanting someone u love to leave u cause youll miss them obviously but also ur scared of how the time will change you and if it’ll make you unrecognizable eventually. big post-egypt jotaro vibes 😔 especially cause one part of the chorus translates to “i shouldnt cry, i shouldnt cry, but the truth is i want to say dont go” and im jus like OHHHHH NO IT’S JOTARO FINDING OUT KAKYOIN DIED jkfnNKJFNJDhkld

12. therefore you and me by eve ALRIGHT. god this song is one hell of a doozy. i interpret this song to mean being sincerely in love but youre in the wrong place/wrong time. considering the uh Whole Situation in part 3 there were definitely better times to fall in love for these two. jotaro and kakyoin try to be happy w the moments they do have (i think the second verse in particular adds to this sentiment what with the selfish ghosts part) but they want a better environment understandably so theyre also just kinda ignoring things until they can properly care for a relationship. but well...who knows if theyll live to make it to that better environment ):

13. mayonaka no door/stay with me by miki matsubara this song is a v sweet sentiment abt like “it’s not just heat of the moment!! i do care about u a lot!!” and asking the person u have feelings for to stick around. big kakyoin and jotaro vibes as it would be easy to call what they have a fling considering how relatively short of a timeframe they had but i genuinely think their relationship was deeper than just that and this song nicely reflects such. “jotaro and i will share a room cause we’re both students” fuckin head ass

14. a thousand years by sting oh sting.... so since sting is kakyoin’s favorite musician canonically i had to add one of his songs here as well but beyond just that i do think this song fits them!! it kinda gives me big “if not in this life, then the next” vibes which is a big uhhh thing for jotakak. they may be doomed to tragedy but the moments they have together make the tragedy worth enduring ironically i feel like this song is mostly from jotaro’s pov considering i dont think he ever completely got over kakyoin and this song def has that kinda sentiment but hey it fits them...

15. mr loverman by ricky montgomery SO FUNNY STORY i actually REALLY. REALLY didnt wanna add this song at first cause i felt it wouldve been...idk too cliche? i guess? and i was ALL kinds of picky when choosing songs for this playlist HOWEVER. eventually i relistened to it and read the lyrics while thinking specifically abt jotakak and it actually rlly does fit quite well KJDFN; another jotaro mourning song ): it’s not just the chorus tho the whole song fits jotaro immediately post-egypt but also i feel like some time around part 4 this sentiment would come back to him cause Yknow. Gays In Morioh and the mess of his family life back in america. it just aches for him cause while he’s happy josuke is happy he wishes he couldve had that for him and kakyoin too but yea jus ... them

16. you by petit biscuit an instrumental?? in a ship playlist?? yes that’s right much like mr loverman i was hesitant to put this song in cause it’s harder to justify since i dont rlly know much abt music (and not to b controversial but interpreting lyrics and interpreting music r two different things) however i really think the vibes of this song fit jotakak. it’s got a somber melody but the keys of the piano are high which im taking to mean “light in the dark” which. jotaro and kakyoin (along w the rest of the crusaders) were each other’s lights in the dark. also the ending samples a conference/lecture talking about space flight and like. star platinum. space symbolism. jotaro. yeah

17. saturn by sleeping at last MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. this song is all about losing someone very close and important to you, but reflecting on the good they brought into your life rather than the pain of losing them. this song also has HEAVY space imagery which stardust crusaders is absolutely chalk fucking full of so also it’s a very philosophical song and considering that jotaro and kakyoin are both Nerds and both got a nice view of the stars/space in the desert with each other, im sure they had conversations similar to the one highlighted in the song. i think it’s a good note to end the playlist on cause kakyoin is dead and jotaro is the survivor but it’s not a mourning song so much as jotaro taking the love he had for kakyoin and pushing forward with it allll th way into part 6

but yeah that’s the tracklist! i might add or take away a song or two but this is mostly it (: hope yall enjoy!

(dave & lars anon) why must u remind me of the big 4 bts video ... i admittedly think about it A Lot bc lars was like dave wtf there's a camera (uneasy chuckle) and dave was just like whoops! ran my mouth :) and YEAH I've never really thought about the cultural differences before but since u brought it up I'm really fired up(tm) now! head empty only thoughts about babytallica dave and lars 🙈🙉🙊 also could u elaborate on lars and compulsory masculinity?

me (in the most unconvincing tone): wow i can't believe u guys are making me do this

jdjdjdj YEAH honestly that entire DVD is honestly just like ..... a lot all around. anthrax fucking around like idiots, that guy crying into tom araya's shirt, ellefson's triumphant return from his vacation with peavey, lars and dave being awkward & weirdly fucking touchy.... much to consider. many things to think.

the cultural differences thing is also smth i get hung up on all the time bc like... my family is dansk/canadian & i see a lot of the same cultural differences & mannerisms in baby lars & i just ?? i think abt it a lot! i think abt him describing his first few years in america and how different it would have been from copenhagen/københavn.

that part also ties into my speculations about compulsory masculinity bc like.... shit just works differently in danmark. boys are typically taught to pitch in with household chores, to share child rearing duties, and to generally just be mindful of other people. it's really common for a man to wait for a woman to make the first move and to split the bill on dates, etc. like ..... there's typically a lot more direct communication involved (like Very direct lmao) & a lot less importance on machismo/posturing/dominance. which. would definitely pose a very different dynamic when entering into a bunch of new friendships w people who share almost none of those same values.

cuz like...... if u try to imagine that, and then try to imagine moving to the states as a teenager & having to adjust to a whole new set of gender role expectations ...??? Yeah. Hmm. obviously lars was a well-adjusted kid by that point (cuz torben was flying him around the world, he traveled around europe a lot, etc), but it's still no wonder why he and james didn't quite click at first. lars was, by all accounts, more of an openly emotional, touchy-feely guy, & that kind of male/male tenderness would Not have flown the same way it did back home.

no hate on james ofc, but he obviously had many major issues surrounding that kind of stuff (homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, using lars as a punching bag, u name it), as did dave. so. if that's who lars was hanging out with when he was ~20 years old in the 1980s, in california, jumping headfirst into the music industry, that shit probably all played a part in shaping his perceptions of masculinity. it definitely doesn't surprise me that he basically became like.... The Smarmiest Womanizer In Rock or whatever, with all the conflated groupie stories, etc. (....which are all in good fun tbh, i love reading ‘em. hell yeah)

even with all of the "performative gay behaviour" in the press circuit c.AJFA/TBA/Load/Re-Load (yknow.... the endless crotch grabs, touching tongues, remarks about kirk's sexuality, etc.), that’s essentially all it seemed like to me: ~performance~. & even if there was a kernel of truth in there somewhere (i ain’t the sexuality police bro), it's always looked to me as though he was being very careful to stand right on the brink of audacious and annoying.

like.... it all comes back to the "aw yeah, this is fun cuz we're doing it to goof off and dunk on stupid homophobes, look at me touching kirk's dick, look how much of a homo kirk is, let me tell you about how Jason is gay and how i think James secretly likes men" thing. yknow ??? that was a really strange evolution of many conflicting behaviours. TBPC, i'd say lars is for sure an openminded kind of guy who has zero issues with the queer community etc. it’s just vaguely strange to me how he ended up falling into such a bizarre pattern of Earnest Support Mixed With Gross Straight Behaviour Mixed With Gay Jokes Taken A Little Too Far, and i wonder if he ever stopped to think twice about it.

#the music industry in the 1980s and 1990s was a very special kind of microcosm so like #many factors. many factors..........#thank u for indulging my terrible fucking brain. i am So bad at articulating my thoughts.#i have no conclusions here. only purposeless ramblings #like why are these things i think about ??? why am i like this ??? idk !!!!!#lars can we pls skype i have a lot of questions abt your teenage years #asks #anon #rpf -#ask to tag if you're skeeved idk #pegs luvs tallica
