Random Gemstone Themed Yandere Prompts with the Jobros.
Warnings: Typical yandere horror stuff, abusive behavior, possible harm towards reader, disturbing situations, good guys gone yandere, anti-comfort, and canon typical violence. Remember that you alone are responsible for what you choose to read. 
---------
Tumblr media
Speedwagon: Prompt 17 -- Unakite- does the yandere have a point of no return or will they eventually realize how dire the consequences of their actions?
As far as yanderes go, Robert is pretty tame. His point of no return would only happen if you were ever harmed in any way. His greatest fear is if you get hurt or worse. Having his greatest fear realized would unlock a side of good ol’ Speedwagon that not even his closest friends have ever seen. Remember, he was a violent thug before he got involved with Jonathan and his quest to put an end to Dio. If anyone was ever dumb enough to put their hands on you he would revert back to his thuggish nature, only worse. It’s not a side of him he ever wanted you to see, but he’ll happily sacrifice his reputation if it means protecting you. 
As far as realizing the consequences of his actions, he’s pretty lucid. He knows that breaking into your home to watch over you as you slept is not only unsettling and inappropriate, but highly illegal. He knows that following you around to keep an eye on you is borderline stalkerish behavior. He doesn’t care though. In his eyes, it's all perfectly justified. He’s extra careful to make sure you never catch him in the act of doing these things, but rest assured that if you ever did he wouldn’t bother lying to you. He’d come right out and tell you exactly why he was doing it. 
“I don’t mean to be overstepping any boundaries, but the world’s gettin’ a lot more dangerous lately. More so than usual. Someone’s gotta look out for you in these dark times and I figure that someone may as well be ol’ Speedwagon.” 
You’ll find it difficult to look into those big, sad, brown eyes and find any fault with him. Speedwagon a stalker? Absurd! Because of this mindset that you have about him, he’ll never really experience any consequences. You’ll just have him walk alongside you instead of trailing behind you in the shadows. 
Tumblr media
Caesar: Prompt 9 -- Diamond- what does the yandere want from their ideal darling?
With Caesar it’s all about romance. He’s no stranger to having ladies swooning over his words and actions, but just once he’d like to have someone make the first move or at least offer him something in the way of a challenge. He occasionally finds himself bored when he’s the one doing all the wooing. He flirts and flirts, but nobody ever seems to flirt back. More than even that, he’d like it if his darling didn’t just turn into a blushing mess the moment he put on the charm. Make him work for it!
If he finds you attractive, he’ll flirt the moment he lays eyes on you (though it’s mostly to annoy Joseph… at first). Maybe he goes for the traditional kiss on the back of the hand and instead of just standing there looking up at him all smitten and red-faced, you grab him by the wrist and yank him close. 
“Nuts to that old fashioned stuff! If you’re gonna kiss me, then just kiss me!” you say. 
And then maybe you pull him in for a kiss right on the lips. If you do something bold like that, you’ll completely throw him for a loop. He’ll stand there, feeling like his face is in flames and his heart is going to beat out of his chest. That brazen action of yours may have been the very thing that caused his yandere side to come bubbling up to the surface. You can’t just… you can’t just do that and walk away from him! You just can’t! You better expect him to pursue you now. As far as Caesar is concerned, you and him are practically engaged, so you may as well get used to him being around. 
Tumblr media
Kakyoin: Prompt 14 -- Moonstone- are there things that the yandere will hide from darling at all costs?
Noriaki definitely has a dark side. We’ve seen just how bad it can get with his first introduction while he was under the influence of one of DIO’s flesh buds. Even when he is his normal self, Noriaki has a vindictive and violent side. It’s this part of him that he doesn’t want you to see. Ever. He wants you to view him as the polite, somewhat shy boy who always manages to make you swoon without even trying. He wants you to love him, not fear him. 
His dark side is reserved for people who deserve it. Like anyone that tries to interfere with his relationship with you. Let’s say some guy tries to sway you away from him while he’s standing right there: 
“Hey there, hot stuff! Why don’t you come hang out with a real man, like me, instead of this skinny dweeb?” he says as he reaches over and flicks Noriyaki on the forehead, laughing boisterously at the redhead’s displeased expression. 
Suddenly, the guy stops laughing. 
“S-sorry… about th-that…” he stammers with a strange look on his face. “I-I was out of l-line…” 
He then staggers away, staring blankly into the horizon. 
“That was weird.” you say, disturbed by the whole interaction. 
“Probably on drugs or something.” Noriaki comments, disinterested. 
Moments later there is the sound of shrieking tires followed by the sound of a car ramming into a human body. 
“That guy just walked into traffic!” someone shouts. 
You turn your head, but Noriaki is quick to shield your view. 
“You don’t want to see that!” he says as he ushers you away. “Let’s just get out of here before the rubberneckers show up.” 
Not wanting to get caught up in a crowd wanting to see blood and guts, you agree and allow Noriaki to lead you away. Nori’s expression is grim and you wonder if he saw the accident as it happened. It worries you. The last thing Nori needed was more trauma to have nightmares about. Egypt certainly took a toll on him. He still refuses to tell you anything about why he ran away or what he was up to during the time he was gone. All that you know is that whatever happened, it nearly killed him. You lean into him and he holds you close, seemingly grateful for you for just being by his side. 
As you leave the scene, Noriaki calls back Hierophant Green. The Stand slithers out of whatever is left of the lowlife’s body and returns to his master. Noriaki wants to smile in satisfaction, but he refrains. He’s very glad that you can’t see Stands, or else you would be horrified by what he’d just done. 
Tumblr media
Okuyasu: Prompt 16 -- Rhodonite- does the yandere want kids and would they force darling into having them?
 (This is assuming that reader can have kids in the first place)
Does Okuyasu want to have kids? OH MY GOD, YES!!! Poor Okuyasu’s family life suffered so badly after his father became one of DIO’s followers. He longs to have a normal family again, or at least as normal as he can have while being a Stand user. Okuyasu sees having kids with you as a means of getting back the family that was taken from him. You can bet that he’ll be a great dad, if not a little over-protective. Okay, maybe more than a little…
As much as he wants a family, he will NEVER force it on you. If you aren’t interested in having kids, he’ll be a little disappointed, but he’ll settle for it just being the two of you alone. 
“I’m… I’m gonna be a dad? Really? Y-you’re not messing with me are you? You really mean it? We’re gonna have a kid?!” he’ll say when you tell him you’re expecting. 
Once you confirm to him that he will indeed be a dad he sinks to his knees and bursts into happy tears. After about ten minutes of that, he’ll dry up and shout, “I gotta go tell Josuke, Koichi, and everybody else in the whole neighborhood!!!” 
Before you can stop him he’s on his way out the door. He returns a moment later, grabs you (gently, of course), plants a long kiss on your lips, then runs out the door again. You stare at the door. He didn’t bother to close it behind him. You shake your head and allow yourself a small smile as you close the door. You love Okuyasu, but now that you were both going to be parents, you were going to have to have a long talk with him about his over-protectiveness. 
Tumblr media
Bucciarati: Prompt 8 -- Chrysoprase- how does the yandere deal with heartbreak?
Honestly? Not very well. He should have expected this to happen and he blames himself. It was only a matter of time before you discovered his career as a Mafioso. It’s only natural that such a thing would scare you away. It was bad enough that you wanted to leave him, but the way you looked at him with fear and suspicion as you broke things off absolutely destroyed him. He tried to explain himself, tried to explain what his true intentions were: to destroy the illegal drug trade from the inside out, but it meant nothing to you. You wanted nothing to do with such a lifestyle. It was too dangerous for you and far too frightening. He understands why you want to leave. He really does.
But he doesn’t care. 
He should never have pursued you in the first place. He should never have let himself get involved with a normal citizen that had no connections to either Italy’s underworld or the equally hidden world of Stands and their users. You were right about it being too dangerous for you but he was far too obsessed to let you go. He should have never let himself fall for you so deeply…
It’s far too late now. Not only is he overwhelmingly in love with you, but even if you leave him, you’ll still be a target for his enemies. You’ve already been seen together far too often, so surely some of his enemies know of your connection to him. They will use you to get to him. Most of them will be Stand users, too. You aren’t a Stand user. You will have no way to defend yourself. If you go now, you’ll be putting yourself in harm’s way. You’ll be alone, without him by your side and his enemies would take advantage of that. So, that’s why he has to spirit you away and hide you somewhere that no one will find you. That’s what he tells himself. He deludes himself into thinking that he’s doing it for your own good, but deep down he knows that he just wants to keep you from leaving. And you really are in danger now, so this is mutually beneficial! Even if you don’t love him anymore, he’ll keep you safe… whether you like it or not. 
“Glare at me if you wish. Call me all manner names and swear at me if it makes you feel better. Scream until your throat bleeds. None of it will make any difference. I won’t allow you to put yourself in danger.” he tells you as he unzips your limbs. 
Tumblr media
Anasui: Prompt 6 -- Carnelian- how does the yandere deal with their darlings strong will?
Ah yes, one of JJBA’s canon yanderes… 
Your strong will may very well have been one of the many things that attracted Anasui to you but, if your strong will leads you to push him away, when you’re so obviously meant for each other, then he’s going to be a lot less happy about it. He feels that he learned his lesson with Jolyne (he hasn’t). If you push him away the first time he puts on the charm, he’ll apologize and dial it back a bit. He doesn’t want to come on too strong, not like he did with Jolyne. So he’ll restrain himself and bide his time. You’ll come around eventually. All he has to do is find a way to endear himself to you while secretly scaring off (or getting rid of) any possible competition. It has to be different this time… he can’t take any more heartache. 
If you still refuse him, though, he might go “full yandere”. Believe me, you don’t want that. He’s only ever done that once before and that’s how he ended up in prison in the first place. Being cheated on and then rejected by Jolyne… he can’t take anymore heartache. So if you keep refusing him, he’ll realize that he’ll never earn your love. So he’ll just have to make you love him! This will lead to a psychotic break in him that will change his way of dealing with you. He’ll grow cold and sadistic. No more simping. His patience has run out. He’ll just have to kidnap you and teach you how to love him. He’ll have to punish you when you get it wrong. He won’t permanently damage you, but if he has to break you for you to learn your lesson then he will without hesitation. 
If you keep resisting even then, well it’s obvious to him that there must be something wrong with you. Maybe if he takes you apart he can find out what it is inside of you that makes you keep refusing him and remove it. He just hopes that he can put you back together again when he’s done…
“I’ve accepted the fact that I’m completely unlovable,” he’ll say in tearful rage, “but I will never accept being unloved!” 
Tumblr media
Gyro: Prompt 12 -- Kunzite- is the yandere’s motivations love, lust or something else?
All three. Love and lust go with the territory in a romantic relationship, but Gyro also wants something constant in his life that is only for him and no one else. Gyro spent much of his life living up to his father’s strict expectations and dealing with responsibilities that were foisted upon him at an early age. He found himself taking on more responsibilities when trying to earn amnesty for young Marco. Then he agreed to help Johnny during the race and teach him the art of Spin. Nearly everything that Gyro did was for someone else’s benefit. He can’t remember a time when he did anything for himself and himself only. 
Gyro reasons that he has every right to be selfish when it involves you. He wants your love, your affection, your heart, your soul, and anything else you have to offer. Plain and simple, he wants you. Sometimes he feels guilty for his selfishness, but the moment you throw your arms around his waist and give him a loving squeeze, all of that guilt goes right out the window. You're his and his alone, and he wants everyone to know it. It's the reason he becomes like a rabid dog when you’re around anyone but him and Johnny. Gyro knows that Johnny won’t interfere, but other people? Not so much. That damned Dio keeps throwing you smug grins like he knows something… what’s that all about? And Mountain Tim had better keep his distance or he’ll end up with more scars than just on his face! 
Expect him to do a lot of hovering whenever you’re out and about. It’s a little weird, but it seems like he’s trying to hide you with his own body sometimes, almost like he doesn’t want anyone to even look at you. For example if you go to a restaurant with booth seats, he’ll always have you slide into the booth first then slide up as close as he can get to you. 
“Gyro!” you grunt uncomfortably. “Will you give me some space? You’re practically sitting on me!” 
Of course he plays it off as a joke. 
“Hmm? Wha? Did you hear that, Johnny? It sounded like the bench was talking to me! I must be losing it…” He’ll say, pretending that you aren’t practically wedged up under his ass. 
“You already lost it.” Johnny quips, ignoring your plight completely. 
He’s not about to get involved with whatever it is that’s going on with you and Gyro. 
You groan and poke him in the ribs, inadvertently starting a tickle fight. It completely takes your mind off of his clinginess. 
If he sees you spending far too much time talking with someone while you’re in town, he’ll grind his grills together so hard they shoot sparks. Once he calms himself down a bit, he’ll saunter over and fling an arm around you. 
“Hate to break up the party, but we really need to be going.” he’ll say with a good natured smile that doesn’t at all indicate how he really feels. 
That’s odd. You thought you’d have plenty of time before your group would have to get back on the road. Oh well. Guess an early start won’t hurt. 
While he’s leading you away, he takes the time to shoot the person you were talking to a warning glare. The message is clear: Stay away, or I’ll make you pay! They distance themselves from you after that. 
You are the only thing that Gyro has that’s all for him. He’s not sharing you with anyone!

So I was scrolling through some old messages and found an. Honestly really interesting concept for an AU which I totally forgot about
AU where Holly doesn't call Joseph about the whole “Jotaro’s locked himself in jail” situation
Essentially the idea is that Joot is sitting and vibing in the jail cell just like canon, however this time when Holly shows up take him back home, he ends up noticing things because she’s now alone and his sole focus. Be it because if his own observation skills or because if Star’s incredibly precise vision, he ends up noticing some things
He notices his mother is paler than she usually is, that she’s having a bit of difficulty breathing, that over all she looks weaker and more strained than she usually is
Jotaro may be terrified of hurting his mother. But he’s even more terrified of leaving her alone sick with no one to take care of her, so it’s enough to get him out of the cell and go home.
And then the second they get through the door, she collapses.
Only it’s the evil spirit which catches her, far faster than Jotaro could have. And despite Jotaro’s worst fears of it hurting her.... it doesn’t. Instead, it just carefully cradles her fevered form and gently gives her to him. Jotaro then takes her to her room, lies her down, and starts caring for her best he can with the Possibly-Not-That-Evil Spirit’s help.
The next days rolls around, in which Jotaro skips school to care for his mom....... only for Kakyoin to show up.
There’s a fight, the house gets more than a little damage, Jotaro goes absolutely ballistic when he realizes they’re getting closer to the room his mom is in, and ends up knocking Kakyoin the fuck out. He also takes out the flesh bud because What The Fuck Is That Why Is It In Your Head Why Is It Going Up My Arm-
Fast forward a couple more hours. Kakyoin awakens to being tied up and very beat up in a closet. A few minutes of fumbling and trying to figure out what’s going on and eventually Jotaro opens the door with a “are you feeling less crazy and murderous now or do I have to knock you out again?”
They talk, both get answers about What The Fuck Is Going On, and realize their best bet of saving Holly is to find Dio, and maybe beat him up if necessary. Kakyoin remembers him having an enormous library and a bunch of other Stand Users around, so somebody was bound to know something about Holly’s clearly Stand Given Condition.
So they’re off. Jotaro leaves his mother with some neighbors he knew she liked and with the  surprising amount of funds Dio had given Kakyoin, they start their journey.
Fast forward a few more hours..... and Joseph ends up getting a call from the hospital. Those neighbors Jotaro left Holly with? Yeah they were really really concerned about her health so she was brought to a hospital which.... you know what fair. Joseph was one of her emergency contacts, and he puts together the possible Stand Involvement so Avdol comes to.
They go check in with the hospital, Avdol confirms it’s a Stand Thing.... and they also learn that Jotaro had left the jail cell but hasn’t visited his mother since she was admitted. So Joseph and Avdol start head back to the Kujo House, and Joseph is prepared to kick his ass for not visiting his mother, offer a shoulder if the kid’s not visiting because Emotions, or both. Plus he also starts planning on explaining Stands and how killing Dio was the only way to save Holly
What he wasn’t prepared for was to find clear signs of a fight alongside blood, because Jotaro and Kakyoin..... didn’t leave the house in the best shape. Joseph then realizes that Dio got to Jotaro before they did, and now is doubly motivated to go and kick Dio’s ass.
So now we have two groups. Jotaro and Kakyoin(and maybe Polnareff) heading to Egypt at a more leisurely pace while trying to learn as much about Stands as they can along the way, and then Joseph going on an absolute war path with Avdol and Iggy 
Bonus points if Joseph keeps using Hermit Purple at the worst possible times and getting Seemingly Not Great photos of Jotaro’s situation, double bonus points if they keep nearly missing each other along the way

Could I request headcanons of the SDC falling in love with a French reader instead please
Now this is something I'd love to do! I wasn't sure how to work in the Reader being French in these HCs so I hope you don't mind me focusing more on the boys and their feelings towards the reader! So sorry for the wait <3
Btw I hate to tear apart a wonderful couple so just. For Joseph's HCs imagine they broke up on good terms. Or they're open to a poly? Whatever your heart desires
Falling in love, Ft. the Crusaders ♡
Jotaro
•Jotaro is slow to falling in love, but when it happens it happens hard, but it's easy to miss
•Has the tendency to curse you out worse then the rest. Deep down he feels terrible about it but he can't help it
•When you're around he falls silent and can't look you in the eye, once you look away though he can't keep his eye off you
•He shows his love silently, like making an extra drink and passes it off to you as a mistake, if you fall asleep near him he gives you his jacket as a blanket (acting annoyed like you whined for it before you passed out)
•Buys knick knacks that reminds him of you
Kakyoin
•It's much easier to tell when Kakyoin catches feelings. Already Kak is a very caring boy but he has the tendency to dote on you and give you more attention
•If somehow you still haven't caught on to his feelings yet, the rest of the group likes to tease him about his crush, he goes bright red but tries to hide it
•His love language is physical, he'll patch you up if you're hurt, or give you a shoulder to cry on when things get too stressful
•Emotions around you flip flop a little, sometimes he's either too shy to speak or talks your ear off about his favorite things
•At some point his emotions bubble up to the point he can't hide them anymore, he confesses his feelings to you himself, blushing like crazy
Polnareff
•Good luck! With Pol, his romantic hints could be mistaken for his normal flirty self, except he's much more extravagant. He surprises you with gifts and flowers and your favorite snacks
•It becomes noticable that he stops hitting on others and spends most of that time instead hitting on you
•Everything is turned up a couple notches. He offers you his arm whenever you walk together, finds something about you to compliment everyday, and sees you off with a kiss on the hand, or even on the cheek.
•He shows care through gifts of course, ever the romantic, it's always roses or chocolates, perfumes or spa supplies (he offers to be your masseuse. Every time)
Avdol
•Similar to Kakyoin, Avdol is very caring around you, he shows care through his touch, he always makes himself available to you and is willing to drop anything if you need him
•More than willing to offer you his robes or body heat when you're cold, all you need to do is ask!
•He acts like the calmest one of the group, but around you he has trouble controlling Magician's Red. His stand will appear out of the blue to coo and really just act like a big bird at you
•Avdol finds a clear, cold, dark night the perfect time to confess to you. He holds your hand softly in his and tells you of his growing feelings, then pull you close to combat the chilling air, playfully suggesting that sharing a bed could help warm your better
Joseph
•Joseph loves to show off when you're around, he can't help it. You make him feel young again!
•Uses Hermit Purple to tease you, wrapping his bramble around you to pull you right back to him
•Even before your relationship takes off he acts like you're both meant to be, his favorite place to be is right by your side with a hand on your hip/holding yours
•You can think of him as a personal sugar daddy, and I mean that in the best way. He can read you like a book, and can tell when your eye lands on something you'd just love to have, don't be surprised when you find it wrapped with a bow on your hotel bed the next morning
•Loves you the old fashion way, invites you on romantic nights out, to dance classes, and loves to show his affection with a sweet kiss on your hand ♡

cw: afab! reader, reader is a stand user, slight canon divergence, sfw
Word count: 6815
Aboard a boat trip to Singapore after an eventful plane incident involving a Stand attack, you and the crew found a brief moment of peace where you had the chance to interact with old and new friends, before the task resumes at the arrival of a suspicious-looking captain.
Tumblr media
True to your instincts, you’d expected the worst to come your way when you volunteered to set out into this journey to garner some sort of “peace-of-mind”, but as to how they would approach your little group of Stand users were something you didn’t expect.
It started out in a plane flight, its interior dimmed to accommodate the sleeping passengers occupying almost all the seats, yourself included. It didn’t take too long until the whispers of your companions woke you up, followed by the subtle hum buzz of an insect flying about above everyone.
It didn’t take long for Avdol to recognize the identified frothing beetle to be a Stand belonging to an enemy user aboard the plane you were on, specifically the person bearing the Tower card known for bringing misfortune to those who encounter it.
All 5 of you took great caution to not cause havoc or damage the cabin, making it all the more difficult for your team to properly deal with the speedy little pest, considering Star Platinum’s known for its strong punches.
Though you proved yourself to the boys that you were indeed more than just a tag-along buddy.
The second you saw the tiny thing zipped through the air with its sharped tongue in the direction of Jotaro’s mouth, a single strip of fabric manifested out from you, stretching itself out to block the insect from reaching his face.
The same goes when it attempted to fly through the seats’ headrests with the intention of stealing the occupants’ tongues in retaliation. Multiple strips of rose gold cut through the air and intercepted the bug’s path, causing it to flying about in a retreating zigzag instead of the supposed straight-on approach.
With your intervention, Kakyoin took the opportunity to set up a trap for the beetle and eventually managed to take it out with his Stand, Hierophant Green’s ability “Emerald Splash”.
Though you failed to prevent the damn thing from invading the cockpit and murdering the pilots, resulting to the plane having to do an emergency landing, and thus ending up in Hong Kong. With Joseph calling the Foundation for help, the group were left to wait for their next transport.
Coincidentally, by ending up in the country, you met yet another interesting fellow that reminded you of your first encounter with Kakyoin.
One moment all of you were dining in an oriental restaurant with foreign food you were yet to taste, and in the next, a man came up to the table introducing himself as a French tourist who needed help with ordering.
The second the guy started to speak in that familiar ominous tone with a star-shaped carrot slice in hand, you noticed the teacup bubbling and responding accordingly, you swiftly grabbed it and flung it to the far corner of the room as a pointed blade shot up from the liquid.
Avdol was the one who handled the situation, battling the enemy Frenchman Jean Pierre Polnareff and his knightly Stand Silver Chariot in a duel-like setting atop the space of the Tiger Balm Garden. You were nervous for the Egyptian’s sake, fingers twitching from where it was hanging by your side, filled with the need to shield your ally from the enemy’s rapid swordsmanship.
At the end, Avdol stood victorious, managing to outwit the man with the combination of his flames and a cleverly used substitute statue, and a tunnel he discreetly made to ambush him with fire from below.
And as Avdol left Polnareff with a dagger to spare himself the pains of burning, the boys turned their backs away, except for you as you watched the white-haired man stare at gleaming blade, a defeated smile on his face as he bowed his head.
You cocked your head, a fleeting moment of pity coming across you at sight of utter surrender. “Avdol,” you called out, still staring at the burning man on the ground. “You might wanna reconsider-“
The dark-skinned man stopped in his tracks and with a snap of his fingers, the flames immediately went out at his command and in relief, the Frenchman collapsed unconscious. Avdol turned to look at you, a satisfied smile on his face. “No need to tell Y/N-san. Even with my back turned, I can sense that this man is a better and more honorable person that DIO could ever be.”
Just like how Joseph explained the situation of your cherry-haired companion, Polnareff was found to be controlled by the vampire’s flesh bud, hidden away in his standing, white locks.
With the bud taken care off with the help of Jotaro’s Stand, the Frenchman was freed from the immortal’s control, and as a result, he volunteers to join the team in hopes he’d seek revenge for the death of his sister. Similar to your case, the crew accepts him and your team grew to 6.
You’d expected the guy with the rapier-wielding Stand to carry himself the way he did back during his introduction at the restaurant and at the battle- one who was formal, dedicated, and poised.
You were ready to welcome another serious member into the party, already planning a list of possible interaction bubbles at the top of your head like you did with Jotaro. However, a minute later, that wasn’t the case.
Polnareff resembled your energy more than Jotaro’s- Dynamic and expressive when a flavor of his perverted side jumped out when he accepted the request of having 2 women’s pictures taken, only for the Frenchman to zoom in on their legs with a mischievous snicker.
The men were stunned but you found yourself with a wide smile, thrilled at the fact there was another person who could liven the team with you.
One lively introduction and a single lengthy conversation later, you became quick friends with the guy, finding his charming yet goofy personality a delight to be around.
Even as you boarded the boat the Speedwagon Foundation reserved and setting off to sea, a never-ending string of random conversations flew out your mouths trading trivia facts about France and Japan with each other, what each other’s interests were, and the like.
You two stood at the deck’s rails and from the background, Joseph excused himself for a minute as he stepped into the cabin, Avdol having left to his own mindful solitude, while Jotaro and Kakyoin made themselves comfortable on the available sunbeds.
You glanced over to look at the delinquent for a second, smiling as the latter did the same, before after a few seconds, tipped his hat over his eyes to break eye contact.
You huffed the same time Polnareff cleared his throat. “Now mademoiselle, where were we?”
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
“She’s really something else, huh?”
With his eyes remaining closed under the shade of his hat’ visor, Jotaro hummed in question. “Meaning?”
“I mean, look at her- just approaching people knowing what to say and how to act accordingly,” Kakyoin chuckled. He spared a few seconds to look at you chatting away with Polnareff with a smile fixed on your face. “That’s talent, and now just looking at them, it’s scary how those 2 just share so many similarities. They’re both vibrant Stand users who gives off an intimidating first impression.”
Jotaro scoffed, opening one eye to look at his friend. “Her? Intimidating?” He shook his head, considering that adjective is usually associated with himself. “Hardly.”
When asked to describe how his first impression of you, you were all but that word. When he thought of you, he’s reminded of your polite demeanor when you respected his space, one that slowly melded with your snarky comebacks that juxtaposed your sweet, beaming expression.
And if he were to put all those thoughts into one word, that would be his answer- Unusual. Sassy. Unique. Stunning.
A tiny patch of warmth grew on his cheeks. “Tch.” He clicked his tongue, realizing that last word’s implication. Not in that way Kujo…
“To you maybe, but when I first talked to her, she was staring me down and I could tell she was suspicious of me from the get-go.”
“You provoked her?”
Kakyoin shook his head, gaze turned to the sky in recollection. “Quite the contrary actually. It was the day before we fought. I approached her to ask a favor that involved her convincing you to meet with me.”
“For some reason, I thought she’d help out because it was a simple request but-” he tilted his head. “I don’t know if it was because she didn’t want to be involved or she didn’t want to play a part in my plan to kill you.”
“You think I wouldn’t start getting concerned whether or not you were still okay?” He still remembered what you said to him that day. A statement regarding his safety that didn’t come from his mom. Admittedly, he thought you were too trusting with the people you’d met, but with Kakyoin’s words, you knew better; who to trust and who to be wary off.
With that knowledge, you saw something in him that made you trust him from the beginning despite his menacing appearance.
His chest throbbed at the thought. Jotaro didn’t know what to say and so he remained silent, shutting both eyes in hopes napping would spare him and his questionable emotion in him from continuing the conversation… Though it wouldn’t last long when the bane of his current crisis came jogging to him, with an eager “yah” in her voice. He grumbled a classic “what do you want”, refusing to look at you to give his face time to cool down.
“Pol went off to talk to Avdol so I’m left to my own devices,” you said. Through narrowed eyes, you stood by his sunbed with a hand on your hip and a smirk on your face. “And by devices, I mean you.”
He rose a brow. Pol? You giving nicknames now? “Even outside school you continue to annoy me woman,” he said and as usual, you couldn’t care less when you remained at the same spot with a stable smile. Jotaro sighed in defeat. “What is it this time?”
You sat at the foot of his sunbed and began spewing out your stories, one topic transitioning into another seamlessly as if you mentally prepared it beforehand in mere seconds, your hands moving around to help convey your thoughts.
Jotaro wasn’t sure what it was, but there was always something in your voice that drew him to listen to your relentless chatter and it didn’t help him when 90% of the conversation was about France, Polnareff, and his Stand.
Like I care about that. Thinking like that now, he wished you’d just return to pestering him about his life story and his Stand Star Platinum instead of this newcomer’s background, and maybe this time, he’d surely have something to share in return.
Forcing himself to draw away from the topic of how the Frenchman maintained that ridiculous hairstyle, Jotaro filtered out your words and instead watched how you talk- from the way your bright eyes would widen every time you mentioned a surprising moment, to the different motions of your hands, down to the movement of your pink lips.
He paused the second he realized his gaze remained at the same area of your face for a solid minute. Damnit. The fuck’s up with me today?
When you finished one train of thought, Jotaro immediately butted in to stop you from continuing. “You done rambling?”
You hummed, pursing your lips as if you were thinking about it. “I’m nearly there.”
“Fucking hell- how do you never stop talking?
“Talent, I guess?” You shrugged your shoulders with a cheeky smile. “Thought you knew my speaking capabilities since day 1 but yeah. Just a friendly reminder,” you winked. “It comes naturally.”
“You guys indeed have some solid rapport going on.” Both you and Jotaro turned to look at Kakyoin, silently playing observer as he watched you two bicker with interest in his smirk. “So invested with one another that you both most likely forgot I’m on the neighboring sunbed.”  
Jotaro sent him a half-hearted glare for being right about your communication skills, while you blinked in surprise. “Oh my- Kakyoin-san, I’m sorry! It’s become habitual for me to vent my thoughts out to the local bad boy, but if you want to talk to me, then feel free to open up.”
The student stuck out a thumbs-up. “Will do Y/N-san.”
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
“Ugh! Let go of me!”
“Stop squirming little brat and listen.”
All eyes turned to the source of the exchange to see 3 adult sailors circle a child no older than 11 with a newsboy cap. Of course, you wondered how a kid managed to sneak on board a boat reserved for Speedwagon Foundation affiliates, but you saved that thought for next time.
You rounded the boys’ sunbeds and marched your way to the sailors, shoving them back as you stepped in front of the kid. “What’s going on here? What’s with the unnecessary grabbing?”
One of them, the boldest you assumed, arched a brow at your sudden intervention and laughed. “Hey now little miss, I suggest you back off and let us deal with this issue, okay?”
“Well, your way of handling the issue isn’t exactly appropriate,” you said in return, arms crossed. “How about all you big strong men be the one to back off and give us some space for proper communication?”
“Yeah? You’re not exactly Mr. Joestar who could tell us what to do.” He sneered at you and grabbed your forearm. “Let’s escort your pretty ass back to your-“
Irritated, a translucent rose gold fabric shot out from the back of your shoulder and wrapped itself around the wrist, pulling it off you and squeezing it tight enough for the sailor to shriek in pain. Though not tight enough to crush bone, because that would be unnecessary and you’d end up being the hypocrite.
His companions stepped back in shock and you used the given space to walk towards the pained adult now kneeling on the floor with a raised bluish-purple hand devoid of blood.
“Yeah, I’m not Mr. Joestar, but does one really need to be the leader of the group to request some private time? So, we can settle this stowaway problem better?” You smiled with your hands on your knees to look at him head on, your voice tauntingly saccharine.
“N-No,” the man grunted out, spots of tears already beading in his eyes.
“That’s right. Now…” You gave the man one last squeeze before letting him go. “Be respectful little boys and leave the kid to me.” Immediately, the sailor scrambled on his feet, held his bluish wrist as he retreated somewhere else on the boat followed suit by his companions.
You huffed out a sigh, catching sights of Polnareff, a newly emerged Joseph (in a sailor’s outfit? Or simple summer fit?), Kakyoin, and even Jotaro watching you from the distance. You puffed your cheeks and shrugged. “They were being a tad bit rude. Can you blame me?”
Polnareff gave a satisfactory grin and a supporting thumbs-up while Kakyoin leaned over to the delinquent to whisper something to him, to which the latter responded with an audible grumble and a shove. Though, something in the cherry-haired’s smug smirk and knowing eyes pointed at your direction gave the impression that the topic was about you.
“Alright, now where were we-“
You turned on your heels with the intention of meeting the young stowaway, only to see no one standing behind you. You opted to search the cabin or the side deck just in case she hid, but the distant and consistent splashing led you to believe she wasn’t hiding.
She was fleeing.
You snapped your head towards the different onlooking men. “Didn’t any of you saw her jump off?!”
The Frenchman placed his hand on his nape with a guilty smile on his face. “We were mostly watching you standing up against the sailors if I’m gonna be honest. A sight to see if I say so myself.”
“I kinda did on the way up but the damn kid had some bite to him when I tried to stop him from jumping overboard,” Joseph said.
You only had time to scoff before you rushed over to the railings and call out to the swimming child, the rest following suit behind you. “Hey kid! Come back! I talked them down and you can join us until we hit land!”
For a moment, the child stopped in her tracks and turned to you with possible intentions of swimming back, and you wanted to bide a few more seconds for her to fully decide her course of action, however, the protruding dorsal fin approaching her from the distance said otherwise.
“Kid swim back! Hurry! A shark’s coming!” The others caught sight of it and began calling out for her to swim back as well.
Enough of a reason, the child shrieked and began swimming back towards the boat. However, the sea reptile was speeding too fast for comfort. A big splash was heard beneath you.
And just as the shark was about to deliver a single chomp, its body flew to the air by the booming punch of one strong Star Platinum and his loud “ora”. While the poor creature is being beaten senseless in aerial territory, you saw Jotaro grab the child to tug her back to the boat.
You were about to sigh in relief but you noticed another danger from under the water: 2 pairs of glowing eyes belonging to a shadow who cleaved the beaten shark in clean halves, and the 2 humans were its next prey.
“Jotaro behind you!” You called out, pointing at its direction.
The delinquent looked back and identified the threat instantly, putting more effort in swimming to safety with a child in his arm. You could feel the fabrics on the surface of your back, itching to extend themselves to pull them up, but Kakyoin beat you to it with Hierophant Green reaching down to bring the 2 up on deck.
“Are you alright?” You said, squatting down to brush the wet strands off her face. You knew your raven-haired friend was fine (albeit drenched with sea water), so you placed priority on the kid, who without the cap, revealed herself to be a girl. Not like it was a surprise because you could tell she was a female from the beginning based on body structure, voice, and boyish-upfront.
She recognized you with a slight twinkle in her eyes and gave you a nod. You smiled and brushed through her dark locks. “That’s a relief but don’t go jumping into the ocean this far into the path. What’s your name?”
“Anne.”
You introduced yourself and placed a hand out for her to shake. “Mind telling me why you decided to board our private boat?”
“I just wanted to head where you guys were heading, but I didn’t have any money. I overheard you were going there so I snuck in.”
“Ahhh,” you said in understanding. “Now, I’m not gonna tell you how it’s wrong for you trespass stranger’s boats because I trust you’re aware of that, but since you’re here now, there’s nothing much we can do but let you remain onboard for the meantime.”
The girl, Anne, furrowed her brows and nodded. You gave her one last smile and stood, turning to your friends. “See? Just talk it out and-hey!”
Before you could finish your sentence, Jotaro, with a newly lit cig in-between his teeth, walked over to you to grab you by the wrist and pull you away from the girl. “You gotta stop grabbing me by the wrist and dragging me elsewhere without explanation.” You stared at him with a deadpan gaze. “That’s not cool.” The delinquent didn’t reply, offering only one knowing look before turning his head back to watch Anne with caution.
“Y/N, you must be careful.” Avdol, who reappeared from his solitude, said. “What chased Jotaro underwater was no ordinary predator. It’s an aquatic-based Stand, meaning its user has to be someone on this boat for it to be lurking in the waters around us like this.”
“You never know. She might have pretended to flee where in reality, she might have jumped on purpose to lure someone off the boat and kill them,” Joseph added.
An enemy Stand user? On a different situation, you would have refuted and spoke back at them for antagonizing a little child, but given how anyone could possess a Stand and could be anywhere at random, you couldn’t help but become cautious as the rest of the group.
The hold the teenager had on your wrist remained where it was and you assumed he hadn’t noticed it yet. It sent the tiniest flutters in your chest.
“What are you guys talking about?” Anne said, eyeing everyone. “Why is everyone looking at me like that?” She turned to you in hopes you would help her case again, but knowing the context of your trip, you forced yourself to not give in.
She gritted her teeth, noticing the shift in the air. In the next second, she reached into the pockets of her faded overalls and pulled out a pocket knife with a semblance of confidence on her face. “I-I’ll have you know that even if I’m still a kid, I know my ways with this knife and I killed people with it too.”
“Yeah, and we are all clowns on a trip to honksville,” you muttered to no one in particular. Though if your ears weren’t tricking you, you could hear the faintest huff coming from the delinquent beside you.
Realistically speaking, there was no way she can fend us off with a simple display of cockiness. There’s no way she’s the user. She’s too keen in using that tiny blade and in defense of her ego, that Stand should have appeared by now.
“How about we just throw her off again?” Polnareff suggested. “Minus one of us coming after her, of course.”
“That’s just jumping into conclusions Pol, let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” you retorted.
“Y/N’s right,” Kakyoin butted in. “For all we know, she might not be the Stand user at all.”
The old man hummed in thought. “What shall we do about this?”
“You,” Avdol pointed at Anne. “How’s DIO doing? Is he well in his humble abode child?”
“I don’t even know who DIO is! You’re not making any sense!” Anne replied, frustration clear in her voice. “Can’t I just hop onboard in peace?”
“Is this girl our stowaway?”
Two other sailors reached forward to grab Anne, prompting you to instinctively take a step forward. “Thanks for grabbing her for me.” The urge intensified once the newcomer was the one to hold the kid still.
Everyone’s gaze was cast towards the man walking onto the deck- a muscular blonde adult with a moustache and soul patch sporting a red scarf around his neck. The hat on his head indicated that he was in charge of the boat. “I’m pretty strict when it comes to stowaways on my ship here. You may be girl but if I go easy on you, we'll just get more and more stowaways."
The captain’s hold tightened significantly, causing Anne to shriek and drop the knife onto the floorboards. “Hey!” You gritted your teeth.
"I think we'll lock you up in the brink below deck until we make it into port."
You kept yourself reigned in, but the feeling of doubt simmered in you the moment he entered the scene. You weren’t sure if it was overthinking or relating it to past events, but his aura wasn’t to be trusted. Could he be…?
You didn’t want to jump into conclusions, but it couldn’t be helped. Before you had any other thing to say, Joseph entered the conversation with a question. "Hey captain, I'd like to ask you something. You verified the identities of all 10 men on board, haven't you?"
"Of course, they're all veterans. Each one of them worked on this ship for over 10 years. I vouched for every single man." He transferred the girl into the grasp of his sailors as the blond turned to face the group. "I'm not sure why you're so worried about that since I gave you my word from the very beginning."
“Sir, apologies for butting in, but I’m afraid the situation’s already been handled.” The captain narrowed his eyes at you, not expecting anyone to talk back to him. “I’ve already talked things out with her and because we’re in the middle of the ocean, there’s not much options offered on the table.”
“Plus,” you narrowed your eyes back at him. “It’s a tad bit suspicious you’re bringing a child with you to some secluded section of your ship. After all, more eyes mean less chances for her feisty attitude to shine and commit further petty crimes like theft or damage of property.” Anne looked at you and you winked. She beamed at the implied support.
While your companions liked your open approach, the captain expressed otherwise with a subtle twitch in his eye. He cleared his throat and left Anne’s and the 2 sailors’ side, walking toward you with a menacing gait.
Your face steeled into smug ignorance and you refused to budge an inch, but your unruly friend did. The second he stepped within close proximity, Jotaro stepped forward and used an arm to nudge you back so you stood behind him.
And the captain shifted his attention to the teenager, only for the blonde to snag the cigarette off his mouth.
Both you and the delinquent glared at the captain, who pointed the stolen cig at your direction. "I must request that you not smoke on deck. What were you planning to do with the ash and butt once you were done? Were you just gonna toss them into these pristine waters?"
“You may be a guest on this ship, but you will abide by my rules." He looked at you. “That applies to you too girl.”
Using the cigarette, he pressed the butt against the gold of Jotaro’s hat and everyone who knew the teenager stilled, including yourself. No one dared to mock the delinquent, more so with actions, and observing his stunned and likely insulted expression, he was going to have his way with the captain soon.
“You 2 kids got that?” He had the audacity to flick the remains of the cig at your face before pocketing it in the raven-haired’s pants and walking away with a new air of smugness around him.
You cursed, swiping your face free of ash residue. “That bitch ass-“
“Hold it, pops.” Just as you finished getting rid of the ashes, you and the captain paused at the teenager’s statement. “If you don’t want me to smoke aboard the ship, then just tell me. Don’t be a condescending prick about the whole thing, you jackass.”
The adult gaped at the direct insult. There it is. About time his bluntness came to surface. “Hey Jotaro, don’t be disrespectful to the captain. You’re the one at fault.” Joseph said and directed his next sentence to you. “And Y/N, you just can’t speak to the authority like you know better.”
You and the delinquent scoffed at the same time. “Speaking up is wrong now Mr. Joestar? In defense against buff adult men restraining a young girl with unnecessary force? Besides, I did say ‘sorry’ and continued speaking as respectful as possible to his sketchiness.”
Jotaro continued, adding to your sentiments. “His rules don’t mean shit. we’ll be as rude as we want. And you know why?” You furrowed your brows at him. You had a suspicion and you figured he had the same idea.
“The captain is the Stand user.”
Your companions gasped, excluding yourself. You knew there was something wrong with the blond and the way he carried himself throughout the interactions between him and the Joestar group. It said arrogant and smugness. Like he had ulterior motives in mind.
You glared at the captain as he played dumb and asked, “A Stand user? I’m not sure I follow. What is that?”
“That’s completely impossible Jotaro. We chose Captain Tennille because he came recommended with the verification by the Speedwagon Foundation,” Avdol remarked. “He’s someone we should trust. There’s no chance he’s a Stand user.”
You two were unconvinced. “Hold on. What’s this ‘Stand’ thing? I have no idea what you guys are talking about.”
“Okay, cut it out with the bullshit,” you bit at the captain, catching him off guard with your tone. “One question about Stands is fine, but repeating it for the second time is just a dead giveaway.” You crossed your arms. “I’ve experienced enough to detect a liar when I see one.”
The delinquent peered at you for a second as if there was something noteworthy in your little statement.
“You guys, random guesses will only make things more confusing!” Polnareff exclaimed, prompting Kakyoin to question the raven-haired student for proof.
“I found a way to differentiate Stand users from others,” Jotaro said, raising a finger to his face. “The trick is to watch a possible Stand user around cigarette smoke because a single whiff,” he pointed to the bridge of his nose. “Makes a vein pop-up on their nose.”
All your allies’ hands, including yourself, went flying to their nose, feeling for a blood vessel protruding underneath the skin. You smacked your friend square in the shoulder, not that he felt it considering his size and your smaller hands.
“What the hell Jot- I’ve been hanging around your smoking ass all this time and now you’re just telling me that a vein’s been popping up here?!” You gave another smack for good measure. “If repetitive exposure makes this permanent, I swear you’ll be paying for my dermatologist.”
Jotaro arched a brow at you with what you interpreted as amusement, before sighing it away. “Calm down woman. I’m just telling you that now because I lied.”
You were about to smack him one more time to complete the charm, but the ploy simply made you go “ahh” and your hand fell to your side. “I’ll take those smacks back then.”
“That said,” he turned to the rest of the group, his voice louder for everyone to hear. “It looks like we found the idiot, didn't we?"
With that brought up, you noticed every male within the area had their fingers touching their nose. Anne, on the other hand, stood by with confusion etched on her face.
But Tennille had his finger up just like the others.
And just like that, the imposter discarded his façade and revealed his true nature- A Stand user wielding the Naga-like Dark Blue Moon representing the obvious Moon tarot card.
He was quick to act with the Stand kidnapping a panicked Anne into its arms, Tennille challenging your team to fight him in aquatic territory where he had the advantage, and leaping off the rails to dive into the waves.
However, Jotaro wasn’t the type to delay his actions. Seeing the opportunity, he sent Star Platinum out and delivered a barrage of punches to the enemy Stand with before it could touch the water below without harming the girl in its hold due to its sharp precision. Delivering one strong blow, Star sent Dark Blue Moon (and by extension fake Tennille) into the sea, catching Anne’s wrist at the same time.
In the process, he hunched over the side, grunting as he struggled to pull her up. Wait, he shouldn’t be struggling. You rushed over to his side to hold him back, two fabrics manifesting to wrap themselves around the delinquent as additional help. “Can any of you help here?!” You called out to the bystanders.
Joseph was the first to respond and went to his grandson’s other side to help pull him back. You wanted to know what the problem was and on closer look, you detected the issue from the get-go. On the wrist of Star Platinum were an encrustation of barnacles climbing up its wrist, dragging him down as they bite into the skin and drain its strength.
Blood spurted out Jotaro’s hand as a reflection of Star’s injuries. He clicked his tongue in frustration. “Let go.”
“What?!” You retorted.
“The damn thing’s spreading up my arm. That fucker’s still down there causing this.” He turned to look at you. “I need to teach him a lesson.”
You were wary about his decision but damn it, he made a point. If this was left as is even after saving Anne, who knows what would happen when the barnacles overrun his entire body. Reluctantly, you nodded, loosening your grip on him. The old man followed with the same hesitation.
Slowly, his body turned over the railing and just as he was about to slip past it, Stat Platinum launched Anne up just as Jotaro plunged into the depths below. Fabrics shot out immediately to catch the girl and pull her up to safety.
With her dealt with, you and the others could do nothing at the moment but watch the constantly moving waves surrounding the spot he dove into, hoping he would pop up in a short while mostly unscathed and the enemy defeated.
For the first few seconds, nothing happened on the surface. Minutes later, the water stirred in a slow spiral, gradually increasing speed as more seconds passed until a raging whirlpool was formed.
What’s happening down there? Your hands tightened around the bars of the rail. Come on, be done with him and come up already. “Someone’s got to help him.” Beside you, Kakyoin gritted his teeth and sent out Hierophant, shooting its tentacles into the water.
He cursed out of the blue and withdrew them immediately, both you and the cherry-haired student stunned to see blood seeping out from the cuts on his hand. “It’s no use. The water’s filled with razor-sharp scales flowing along the current.”
“So then, there’s nothing we can do but hope he gets out of this alive,” Avdol said.
You considered. Your Stand has the ability to protect you and others from incoming threats thanks to its extremely durable taut cloth. If it can fend off against the sheer strength of Star’s fist, the sharp appendage of Tower of Gray, and the blades of others from way before without being injured-
“Not if I have a say in it.”
All of Joseph’s crew turned to you as you concentrated all your will into one space until a translucent figure emerged from you in broad daylight. You gaped at the familiar entity- The flowing veil obscuring upper half of her face, the billowing dress with shimmering mist replacing where her legs should be, and the numerous rose gold cloths that wrap around the entirety of her body, its silky surface metallic and glinting.
Silent Sanctuary’s whole form.
“Y/N-san’s Stand! It revealed itself!” Avdol exclaimed, stunned along with the others.
You didn’t have time to entertain their awe and focused on the task at hand. She couldn’t go too far from you but her fabrics could. Letting Sanctuary hover a few distance away from you past the deck, she unraveled parts of her back to pull out wide strips of cloth, stuck together to form 2 batches big enough to serve as a wall.
You took a deep breath and the Stand shot her fabrics straight into the scale-riddled whirlpool, one batch stationed 3 meters away from the other, stopping the flow of scales and providing an opening for a safe exit to the surface. As expected, the razor edge of the debris didn’t deal damage to your Stand.
She unwrapped a segment of her arm to form more strips of cloth, and using them like a fisherman on a normal day, plunged the fabrics into the opening and into the water, hoping someone would grab hold of them.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Jotaro could feel the strength deplete from him the more damned barnacles spread from Star Platinum’s arm up to its shoulder until they encased majority of its body. It didn’t help either when he also lied limp amidst the fucking whirlpool of scales the imposter made to conserve energy.
Beneath him, Tennille grinned as he waited for him to give in, spewing out more words of victory as if he paid attention to what he was saying to begin with.
It was pain he had to deal with this here. He was already at a disadvantage being underwater and now he can’t move because of the barnacles seeping his strength.
He gritted his teeth. Come on think damnit.
Just as an idea came to mind, his thoughts came to a halt as something entered the waters beside him, bypassing the whirlpool of scales. One glance and he recognized what they were- Fabrics. Your Stand’s fabrics.
Another set of them plunged shortly after, these ones hanging beside his head. A rope.
“How the fuck?!” Jotaro heard the fake captain from below, the water shifting slightly to the movement of Blue Moon’s propulsion toward him.
He wasted no time and immediately reached up to grab the rose gold cloths, and in an instant, they wrapped themselves around his wrist and all of a sudden, his body was pulled upwards. However, Tennille was close behind, furious at the unexpected interruption.
He still had enough strength to execute one more move to deal with the impostor for good.
Shooting in-between the provided opening your Stand made, he breached through the surface and turned his attention back to the sea beneath him. At the exact moment Dark Blue Moon jumped out, Star pointed two fingers at his direction and breaking past the crust, its fingers extended at a rapid pace, piercing through one pair of the aquatic Stand’s eyes, and by extension, through Tennille’s head.
And for the first time in a while, hearing the bastard cry out in agony as he sunk back into the depths, accompanied with his Stand’s freedom from the barnacles, sent waves of relief throughout his body.
His body was plopped back on the wet floorboards of the ship and he landed with a grunt. He coughed, clearing his throat free from the remaining seawater that got inside as he got up onto his elbows. However-
“Jotaro-ssi, are you okay?” There it is again. The unusual honorific. He saw you rush over to him, getting down on your knees for you to grab his hand and inspect it, unaware of your tiny slip-up. Luckily for him, the minor cuts on his arm from earlier had closed which prevented further bleeding. “I had a hunch he’d be able to do something like that but the scales? If those weren’t there, things would’ve ended up quicker.”
The delinquent remained silent as you sighed with relief at the lack of major injuries, but just as he was about to adjust his hat, he noticed a single strip of rose gold still remained wrapped around his wrist. His gaze travelled up the cloth until he saw your Stand for the first time.
It was exactly the you described it during the days when Jotaro and you simply hung out at the rooftop- ghost-like and ominous-looking. Just like you, Silent Sanctuary seemed to share your level of concern over his well-being, noted through its attention solely focusing on him.
And for the first time in front of you, he let the tiniest of smiles crack on his face as he huffed out an imitation of a chuckle.
You snapped your head to him as you heard that loud and clear. Who knew seeing your expression beam from such a miniscule effort was this satisfying? “Looks like you finally kept your promise about showing me your Stand.”
“I didn’t show her to you before?” You said with a faint blush on your cheeks, alternating your gaze between the hovering figure and him. “Oh gosh, I swear I could’ve introduced her to you earlier if you weren’t… you know, in jail.”
“It’s fine,” Jotaro returned to his usual deadpan face as he rose his arm bearing Sanctuary’s cloth. “Would you mind?”
You blinked a couple times before you caught the meaning of his request. The cloth loosened around his wrist and withdrew back into the Stand’s arm, followed by it disappearing into you shortly after.
Multiple people called out to him and you took this as a cue for you to leave him be with the rest, but just as you were about to retreat while the others came to him, he called out to you. “Oi.”
You turned your head to him with a responding “hm?”
Jotaro tipped his hat, sighing. “Thanks… for earlier.”
With cheeks blooming a visible pink, you smiled and nodded in return.

Bloody Star AU 🩸⭐️ Stardust Crusades stuff
So the way this part opens up is the Cult of Dio finally finding their founders body in the special coffin as well as a special container with a majority of Jonathan’s body that has been preserved in a special box. (Kinda debating if Jonathan would still be alive and aware of what was happening he probably wouldn’t stay alive for much longer or worse, I’m just gonna say he’s dead for now) the cult basically goes “hey let’s try and revive our founder whose body is in remarkably good condition because of the Hamon coffin using the remains of the original Bloody Star Vampire and the new power we discovered called Stands!” And thus the Cult of Dio enters its mad science era.
Basically the final fight will be against a Frankenstein‘s monster thing made out of Dio’s and Jonathan’s parts. Definitely some metal and other stuff in their to prevent the hamon from effecting the vampire parts. Perhaps they stole the info of the experiments data of Joseph that the SWF did in the part 2 era and that furthers their research even more.
This AU Jotaro isn’t as rude or a punk and is a bit leaner, because he mostly lived a mostly solitary lifestyle with his mom in Japan. But he is still very quiet and doesn’t like to show emotion. Although I think he would be a bit of an explorer, wandering the streets at night. He basically becomes a local myth in the city. When he gets his stand he panics and instead of going into a police holding cell he runs into the woods and stays there stubbornly isolating himself (and adding new rumors to his ever growing cryptid stories). His mom does eventually find him but he refuses to go home, snapping at her and calling her an annoying bich for the first time, Star bringing Everything he needs. It’s hard but she had to go home before the sun came up.
Joseph and Alvdol come to help. With the Fortune teller getting Jotaro out of the forest by having him chase him and some encouraging words from his grandfather (little Jojo, I know that your scared of what’s happening, that you may become some kind of monster, but it’s kinda silly to do so because we come from a family of monsters, but we’re all human on the inside, and this new power of yours doesn’t change that one bit) Jotaro heads home.
Yea Joseph and his friends call jotaro Little jojo.
Joseph stays with Holly and Jotaro for a while with Avdol as his bodyguard, because the cult of Dio was acting more suspicious and moving towards his home. He had been able to lead a somewhat normal life and run his own business for a while besides he’s been getting more irritated lately for some reason. But there is no rest for the wicked for the wicked and the cult is waiting and preparing something something Big! And the Kujo household is ironically the best safe house they have. Not many people even know where the Kujos live and you can’t even find their house without knowing how to look for it. The Kujo family is one of Japan’s most hidden secrets. Sadao doesn’t let anyone know he has a family but he loves them all the same.
Jotaro goes out to get some groceries, (cus he is one of the only people in the house that can go outside during the day). His hight does make him stand out but he just pretends he’s a forager visitor only speaking in English. He buys the ingredients for dinner and begins to head home. But on his way back he falls down some stairs because something injured his leg. On high alert after that he accepts the help of some strangers who were around and decided to take the long twisted way home. Some of the groceries would have spoiled but it would be worth the extra caution.
While he is walking home he finds a slip of paper with a message on it in his pocket.
“Today you will burn in the glorious light of life, with my emeralds I will cut you down using my stand.
-Kakyoin Noraki”
Shortly after he processed the information he is thrown into an alleyway, making him cornered. He sees a red headed Japanese boy, wearing some green robes, a circlet with a silver peace in the center and an iconic sun pendant that was essentially the cross for the cult of Dio. He was followed with two people also wearing similar circlets. Jotaro saw green tendrils spreading all around him even above him forming a inescapable web. So yea they fight and they argue during the fight about morality, during the confrontation Jotaro notices that there is something wrong with the other boys eyes.
Jotaro finally wins but something is wrong with his opponent who was knocked out had his eyes shot open and starts spazing. Blood starts dripping from the circlet, namely the center of his forehead. His two companions(?) start grinning sinisterly their circlets are different (basically hamon powered thought remotes) saying that Kakyoin served the order well, he fell to one of the Bloody Stars, they would have to take him on himself. They both get the stuffing beat out of them because they didn’t have stands. Like come on…. I guess they tried to take him on while he was weakened from the fight but still….
Jotaro takes Kakyoin and the remains of the grocery’s back home. They remove the killer circlet with some trouble (similar to the flesh bud) and hand it to the SWF for study, they give the red head some vamp blood (it is great for healing that’s cannon, I mean Joseph was right as rain after the blood transfusion.)
Kakyoin was smug and righteous before but now he just looks haunted…. He doesn’t run away but he is clearly scared and not talking to anyone. He is constantly gripping his sun pendant. Despite the circlet messing with his head he was apparently an genuine worshipper. After being betrayed by members of his own religion and now basically in the presence of their version of the devil and demons, he is not having a good time. Everyone gives him some space and they have him out of the Kujo house hold and into the company on the SWF, he isn’t being held prisoner at all, he can leave any time he wants.
A week pasts and the Jostar family is currently bunking down with minimal contact. It’s now obvious that the cult is doing something BIG.
Then one day Holly just goes feral for some reason, right in the middle of cooking. Jotaro, Joseph and Avdol all do their best to calm her down and constrain without hurting her,Joseph even awakens his stand in the mess but nothing works. Holly actually almost kills Jotaro, it is then her stand awakens and constricts her, vines grapple with any leverage, pulling the kind mother turned savage farther and farther away from her son, tears now falling from her eyes. Finally the stand locks her in a room and binds her hands and legs.
They get the speed wagon foundation to come over quickly and Kakyoin comes along as well. The researchers and the doctors do some research/ try to helpon both Holly without hurting her as well as looking over Jotaro and Joseph. They learn that something is messing with Hollys instincts, she is basically a prisoner of her own mind, whatever this effect is it’s due to the unique bloodline connection the Joestars have (it wasn’t discovered until Holly’s youth, mainly because most parents don’t see their kids grow up in this family) the whole ‘connection’ thing is still pretty mysterious, after confirming that it wasn’t Jotaro and Joseph fault they learn something even scarier, they being effected too. That’s why Jotaro was being more rude, and Joseph being more irritated than usual.
The scientists estimate that in 30 day’s every member of the Jostars would either be overpowered by their body’s instincts or become addicted to feeding on the innocent.
After seeing how scared Jotaro was Kakyoin finally decided to help, “it’s kinda silly and stupid to think anyone is pure evil, we’re to complicated for that, even the devil is a person after all. Just don’t make me regret this,” He tells them about his past, how he and his family were casual worshippers (just go to church on Sundays nothing special that kinda thing he wasn’t going stop his life or make it his entire existence for it) he wasn’t supper hardcore or serious about it. Then one day he gets approached by someone in the church, saying that they knew about hierophant green, and that he had a special power that they called a Stand. Wanting to learn more Kakyoin talked more, they learned a lot about stands, how they worked and others like him. Then they got him to wear the circlet and that forced him to go from a causal worshipper to a full blown zealot willing to die for the cause, they didn’t even see him as a person. He also revealed that the religion had uncovered the corpses of both Dio and Jonathan, about the whole reviving their founder and ‘Purifying’ the bloody stars by studying the original bloodstained Star. The bond of bloodline has been tapped into by the cult.
So yea after learning all that they all decided to stop them from doing anything worse they have to find the lab where the experiments are taking place. Joseph accidentally learns about spirit photography in a fit of rage. They discovered the location (similar to cannon) and Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, and Kakyoin(he wants to confront the people in his religion) head to Egypt.
But the cult of Dio will not let them taint their holy ground without a fight, they will do what they can to stop the, from reaching their destination.
Thanks for reading ('ω')

Shitty Stand Hcs part 1: Featuring Jotaro and Star Platinum
-Jotaro can use Star to catch himself mid-air repeatedly in order to prevent lethal falls due to its strength. The result works like a charm, but looks like laggy minecraft falling to a non-stand user.
-He’s also used Star to lift himself off the ground more than once, not to reach objects, no, he’s already FREAKISHLY tall, but to convince non stand users he can float at will.
-Back during his delinquent days, he ABSOLUTELY used Star to ding dong ditch people at least a few times, or alternatively, knock hats off heads, shove people, or tug their hair ever so slightly.
-Since Star is so goddamn strong, he can lift friends up to higher places using it. Hc that he just grabbed someone (likely Joseph for being annoying) around the torso and just FLUNG him up onto a roof so he had high ground.
-Speaking of throwing? Jotaro only does the “ora ora” thing because it looks and sounds cooler, as opposed to the instant kill of grabbing someone by the ankle, and just flinging them up into the sky and then waiting for the simple application of Newton’s Law: what goes up must come down and slam into this here pavement. If someone REALLY pisses him off he applies the Yeet™️ but thinks it’s uncool and cowardly to do that. Kakyoin practically foams at the mouth when he learns that he could do that all along and just DIDN’T because he thought it was cringy.
-Diamond is Unbreakable alternate universe where he stops time and instead of just punching Kira, hastily suplexes him and just fucken TOSSES him like a sack of potatoes, breaking every bone in his little incel body

IDK if it's just me, but I hate who survived SDC, DIU, and GW.
For SDC they pick the most underdeveloped characters like Avdol, and Kakyoin (who were even written out half way through the story) to die, and Joseph and Polnareff who hogged the spotlight to survive instead.
For DIU I feel like Rohan and Okuyasu both should have died due to it making Kira look like a big threat by killing 2 of the cast members. And plus they don't get referenced anymore so no reason to kill em off.
And for GW I think Narachia should have survived, and Mista should have died as Narachia was actually going through some character development from Abbachio's death, and he dies before he could get closer. And Mista got no growth from living, so either have Mista be the one crying for Abbachio's death, or let Narachia live instead.
Agree or disagree with me?
I have agreements and disagreements.
Yes sure Polnareff got most of the spotlight. Though If you think about it and replace him with Avdol and Kakyoin in GW, wouldn't you think both wouldn't be able to find the Requiem arrow? Both are smart, Advol is very skilled with his stand and Avdol would help Kakyoin understand his stand better. If these 2 took the place of Polnareff instead, GW wouldn't even exist. (Let's keep in mind that both are willing to die just to get a mission done) And even if it's just Avdol who went, let's remember that his stand's abilities are FIRE, and it's range is quite long too, even if Diavolo made time move Forward, Fire, just- fire, it'll burn him alive, Avdol is quick thinking.
Yes i really hate both Kakyoin and Avdol's death, but had they not died, Polnareff wouldn't get his development, but at the same time Jotaro didn't change much either, that's why most people only think of Kakyoin alive because Polnareff already got his development, whilst Jotaro remains depressed, heck he doesn't even change, he does only around certain people only, that being, His grandpa, Koichi and when Josuke does something utterly stupid.
But let's think about this. If Kakyoin was alive in DIU, and went to Morioh, HIS BIRTH TOWN, both Kakyoin and Jotaro would've identified missing people quickly, some fans mentioned that the reason why Jotaro is not seen much in DIU is possibly because he was visiting Kakyoin's parents, and because Kakyoin is still alive, Kakyoin would visit them once to twice then continue and move on and help Jotaro.
Kakyoin being alive in DIU helps Jotaro a lot, Jotaro gets his Development, (is possibly a better father) Kira is found earlier (Kakyoin's stand is long, the smaller the lines of his tentacles, the longer, we don't know how far it goes) and remember the Hunting rats episode? Jotaro would definitely take Kakyoin instead of his mom's half brother, and Josuke wouldn't have learned to aim properly meaning no development for Josuke. (That or Kakyoin convinces Jotaro to take his uncle instead so that he progress trying to arrows will be faster).
If we take into fact that Kakyoin still wasn't in DIU, and you say Rohan should die? Yes. I hate him, too much sass, manipulative(to Koichi too when they first met) but he does have some developments, he warms up a little to Josuke, but that's it. Kill him off. There's no need for him to be mentioned in part 5, or 6, just kill him off.
Okuyasu dying? Sure why not. He doesn't get that much development like Rohan but him dying will probably be an effect on Josuke, making Josuke more mature and more like Jotaro(Kakyoin is not here in this explanation hence the different font)
But had Kakyoin lived. Neither of those you have mentioned would've died. Seeing that Kakyoin is probably an early bird. (Proof in death 13, but before death 13 he had a nightmare which caused him to wake up late) and Kakyoin would've been the one to be bombed. Kakyoin, like Avdol, thinks very, VERY, Quickly, had Kakyoin not saved Avdol from Hol Horse that one episode Avdol would've been already dead.
Now in GW, Avdol, Kakyoin, are not here.
Narancia dying? Bs. I didn't like his death at all. Not when he said "after this I'm gonna stop, maybe go to school!" (That's not really what Narancia said but it's somewhere along those lines, I bawled my eyes out when he died) NO HE SHOULD'VE WENT TO SCHOOL. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DIED. and Mista wasn't even that helpful(just saying sorry Mista fans) so kill him off too. Also Polnareff. What's the point of keeping him in a dang turtle's body??? (No he didn't turn into a turtle, he lives inside the room of the turtle,)
Not for SDC, because earlier I was just talking about if Avdol and Kakyoin lived the series would be utterly different. Iggy should've lived. I'm just saying. A dog is actually smarter than the human itself. POLNAREFF HAS TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME. KILL HIM OFF, (I love Polnareff though he's a comfort character) Polnareff after Avdol and Iggy's death just brought The rest of the SDC down, bro like running off to take Dio by yourself? SELFISH, he didn't learn his lesson when Avdol almost died, he learned when Kakyoin died, Iggy living would've actually been more helpful than Polnareff. (That's all.) Avdol dying is just too much for me, he's a good dad figure, he would've helped Kakyoin about the mannish boy, other than that fire to Dio, weakens Dio and helps a lot.
That's all. We have disagreements and agreements, because there will be big changes in the next part if they have lived.
(sorry if this is too long)

JOSEPH AVDOL FRIENDSHIP!!! please talk their friendship it's SO underappreciated and unexplored. possibly the biggest missed opportunity in canon when it comes to p3 relationships (thinking on it most of Joseph's relationships are)
you get me like no one else anon
i agree it's a very underutilized relationship. the only time we get to see them interact for a long period of time is when avdol and joseph were affected by bastet and welllll i think for obvious reasons that i wish that wasn't the only time is all
but i do think about them... i think about how joseph met avdol two years before he even got hermit purple. i imagine how they meet is like, joseph is in egypt for some speedwagon foundation event or another and something happens in the street, probably a robbery or smth. the thing is i think the robber was using a stand (i wouldnt be surprised if it was one of the standusers that later serves dio considering a) how many stand users there seems to be in egypt and b) how avdol knew them beforehand) so avdol, seeing this from his fortune telling booth, goes after the guy...but so does joseph. even though joseph doesn't know what's going on cause he can't see stands yet, he still goes after the robber. i think it kinda struck avdol. i dont think he quite liked it at first tho LOL i think he was like "you need to sit down youre gonna get hurt" and joseph is like "nuh uh" anyway the thief demands their attention and whuh! they actually work quite well together. i think after the fight joseph asks avdol if he wants to get a drink and avdol is like oh i don't drink alcohol so they go to a cafe instead and jsut talk. i think avdol kinda tells joseph's fortune there (less to josephs' face and more ruminates over his cards himself) and what the tarot cards tell him is that joseph is a very interesting guy. so even though joseph isn't a standuser (yet) avdol wanted to remain in touch. so i think that was the beginning of their friendship basically. i know it involves a lot of extrapolation on my side but that's what i think. lol
anyway i think they both liked traveling a lot and so they did during those three years before sdc! i think avdol met suzi during this time and they became friends as well. joseph "big bucks" joestar basically was able to take avdol anywhere he wanted to go and it was nuts. i think when joseph got his stand avdol was abso-fucking-lutely elated despite the circumstances of it manifesting cause i dont think avdol really had standuser friends until then (sure he knew other standusers which is why he doesn't have a kakyoin case but still). i bet you anything he was the one going through all these sorta tests to see what exactly hermit purple can do. god bless him avdol is absolutely the kinda guy to get so excited he's like we need to punch a camera now. i wonder if hermit purple manifests in the first place cause joseph was reaching to help avdol but couldnt quite reach him and then boom...vine time.
anyway i also think about joseph seeing avdol bloody in the street in india and scared he's going to have to bury another dear friend and while avdol was older than caesar he wasn't even fucking 30 yet he was so young and when it turns out avdol is breathing ohh i think joseph collapsed honestly. absolutely got at that bitch with some hamon and then ensured his private healing on that island. wagh.
anyway idk i jsut think theyre very silly together. i think joseph brings out the goofy side of avdol he tries so hard to conceal and i think it's quite relieving for avdol. avdol of course is a kind and reliable guide for joseph and he doesnt mind whenever embarrassing things happen and he still stands by him despite everything, both good and bad, stupidly absurd and morbid and serious. i think that in kind relieves joseph a lot. i dont think they really had a father-son relationship per seeeeee but i think it was a family bond. yeah.
anyway this got long sorry anon just. i have thoughts baout them. they were sooo close wah

JoJo's Bizarre Swapping:Phantom Tendency(Roles)
Jonathan swaps with Joseph
Speedwagon swaps with Caesar
Mary Joestar swap with Lisa Lisa
Kakyoin swaps with Speedwagon
William Zeppeli swaps with Loggins
Bruford swaps with Messina
Aqua swaps with Erina
Erina swaps with Suzi Q
George Joestar swaps with George 2
The pillar man don't swap roles.
Jonathan is still called Jonathan Joestar and not Jonathan Kujo because George didn't wanna have the name of someone he didn't know and Jonathan and Aqua both respect that desition (Despite Aqua slightly disagreeing with it)
We are going the @goatpaste route and now the Nazi's are not involved and the Kakyoin Foundation does everything that they do but in a way better and less disgusting way.
None of the Pillar Man die either, primarily because i think Jonathan would get too along with them to kill any of them, and maybe he can even convince them to not do evil bs maybe.
Erina/Jonathan/Wammu polycule ensues.
Speedwagon is more of a Jobro than Caesar and actually is friends with Jonathan but they clash a bit due to their different views on family with Speedwagon only focusing on the now and Jonathan seeing the past and ahead, while forgeting about the present sometimes.
Eventually Jonathan learns from Speedwagon, he still becomes a fucking pancake though, but it is clear that it is not because Wammu wanted to kill him, instead is because Speedwagon was a little bit reckless and accidentally broke some rocks with his hamon while trying to fight Wammu.
Mary goes by Mary Mary, yes. She also tells Jonathan that she is his mother before they fight Kars and Wammu because i picture her as more nice and wants Jonathan to know before she possibly dies.
Jonathan and Wammu try to convince themselfs that they hate each other and try to fight because that's what they are supposed to do but they cannot bring themselves to do so because they spent time together in this AU and are too much of good pals (or maybe more) to actually try to kill each other.
Meanwhile in the background Kars and Mary fight at the same time and accidentally destroy the Aja stone because their idiots.
Feel free to ask more

This drawing is sort of an excuse to draw poses inspired by Vogue, I mean if Araki can draw his characters doing poses inspired by models and/or fashion magazines, so can I, it's a Jojo staple after all. That being said, there has to be a story to go with this right? The events leading up to the [Yellow Temperance] arc play out the same as canon. Except the Joestar group stopped at Malaysia instead of leaving for India, Jason Lennon was occupying the group as a sailor hired by Joseph during the [Dark Blue Moon] arc and was the only one to have survive Forever's Stand during the [Strength] arc, and Medea goes with Devo and Rubber Soul to Singapore to confront Jason and the Joestars.
Anyways, Medea was relaxing by the sea with her very first lobster roll(they count as sandwiches) when she saw a battered and bruised Rubber crawling to her after having his ass kicked by [Star Platinum], telling her that Jotaro did this to him and warns her to go back to Egypt for her own good. Only for her to spit at him and called him a useless shithead before stating that didn't she came this far for revenge just to run away cowering, proclaiming that she's getting her hands on Jason even if it kills her.
Afterwards, she follows the Joestars and Jason by train to Malaysia after the hotel in Singapore got compromised by the two aforementioned Stand Users. Unfortunately for her she can't attack them on the train immediately due to the risk of getting herself killed if the train crashes from the chaos, so she had no choice but to wait. They arrived to Kuala Lumpur by sundown and booked a room at a hotel, they made sure that everyone is together this time. At the same time, Medea accidentally ran into the group and tried to play it off as an innocent American tourist, Jason is panicking when he ran into her because of their fallout but was relieved to learn that she supposedly "didn't recognize him"(keep in mind that he doesn't know that she's a Stand user either), meanwhile however Kakyoin felt like he had seen her before but couldn't put his finger on it, thereby he keeps a close eye on her. Later that evening, the Joestars started ordering dinner when she overheard Jason's order being Bak kut teh(Translation: "pork rib tea"), she discreetly used her Stand to poison his food with a dose of "Drunken Lullaby"(a corrosive poison) and waited for the time where he starts dying to confront him. Soon he started coughing blood from the poison and ran out in a pained and frenzied panic with Joseph following him behind to see what's wrong. Once alone in the KLCC park, Medea finally reveals herself to Jason, telling him that he now knows the pain she felt when he broke her heart. Joseph asked what is she talking about while Jason tried covering his ass, Medea then demand him to tell Joseph the truth if he wants to live, he refuses and she just let him suffer, Joseph told Medea to let him go but she stood her ground. Jason finally snaps when he felt his left kidney dying, he told Joseph about him cheating on Medea with a classmate before begging for the cure. Medea pushes even further by demanding why he left her, he refuses, but then relents when his chest started to sore, he explains that he left her because he believed that Medea was holding him back on satisfying his envy. When she asked who's he envying, he reveals that he was envious of Joseph's wealth and influence, and joined the Speedwagon foundation as an intern in order to get close to him and usurp him for his money, even going as far as to join him on his journey to find someway to make his death look like an accident. Needless to say Joseph was furious when he heard about this. Satisfied, she called off her Stand's poison and let him go, leaving him alive but badly damaged internally and humiliated with Joseph kicking his rib-cage for the lies and deceit. Afterwards, Joseph thanked Medea for weeding out a rat, only for her to reply: "Oh I wouldn't say that, more like ...saving your blood for a vampire bat", before she summons her Stand to decapitate him behind. Thankfully Joseph was saved by being pulled by [Hierophant Green]'s tentacles, the Joestars had followed him when Kakyoin felt that something was very wrong, he had a feeling that he'd seen Medea before but couldn't figure out why, but now he's sure that he had first met her as one of DIO's closest servants named "Medea King" when he was first brainwashed in Cairo, Egypt, much to Joseph's displeasure as he exclaims: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?". Medea teased Kakyoin that remembering her name is an honor for little ol' her, before Jotaro told her to quit playing around as she summoned her Stand to them for the very first time, posing fabulously, she proudly introduced it to the group, aptly named: [Flogging Molly], telling the heroes to say hello to it. And thus a Stand fight breaks out in Kuala Lumpur. Also Avdol is dumbfounded over her Stand being outside of the Tarot card category, a completely brand new type entirely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This would've been uploaded yesterday but it was a school night so I was too late, as well as getting distracted and falling asleep.
I also had to study on Asia's map and the map from the anime in order to get the location right, forgive me if I get any details on Malaysia's capital wrong, this is my first time researching it. OCs belong to me

Playing Minecraft with the Stardust Crusaders
**Note: Originally I was going to have this be a story with just Kakyoin, but I decided to add the rest of the Stardust Crusaders. Also I decided to just do headcanons instead of writing a full story. I’ve been writing a lot of dark yandere stuff and I just wanted a break. So here’s something wholesome. PS. Polnareff’s part was my favorite to write. XD **
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Joseph
He may be an old man, but he’s not completely out of touch when it comes to the concept of video games. It takes him a little bit to learn how to play, but once he gets the hang of it, there’s no stopping him. Joseph’s building skills are pretty basic. He’s more interested in the survival and exploration elements of Minecraft. Once he gets his house built, he does a little mining to get a full set of iron armor, weapons, and tools and then he’s off to explore. He’s almost never seen around the main base and spends most of his time many, many blocks away, discovering cool things. He will often ask questions about things he’s unfamiliar with and you explain it to him. Sometimes he hardly speaks at all because he’s too enamored with all the stuff he’s discovering. 
Then there was the “Creeper Incident”. Joseph made the mistake of doing some exploring at night instead of going to sleep like a good little Minecrafter. 
“Hey, what’s this freaky green thing?” he asked you. 
“Freaky green thing? What kind of freaky green thing?” you said, wanting some specifics. 
“It looks like a depressed cactus,” he explained. 
Uh oh.
“Oh! That’s a cr---!” 
There was a distant explosion followed by Joseph screaming, “Oh my God! Son of a bitch!!!” 
After that, something changed in Joseph’s play style. He went from explorer to monster hunter. Angry at having been blown up and losing all his stuff, he goes on a vendetta to destroy all creepers. And why stop there? Zombies, spiders,skeletons or any other creature of the night that crosses his path were quickly dealt with. He goes deep into learning brewing, armor and weapon enchanting, and anything else he can think of to give him an edge against the hostile mobs. With Avdol’s help he builds a battle tower and protective wall around the base. He has very big dreams about taking out the Ender Dragon. 
Joseph is a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to Minecraft. He may not be the best builder but he has a lot of creative ideas that help all of you with whatever projects you might be working on, especially when it comes to base defense and monster fighting.
Jotaro
He only ever plays when either you or one of the other Crusaders asks him to. When he first spawned in he wasn’t too impressed. He had a hard time figuring out what he wanted to do. At first, he doesn’t bother building a house or anything and just bums around his grandpa’s house. He makes a snide comment about how Joseph’s house is just a big, wooden block with one window and a door. Joseph grumbles something about how his house didn’t need to be pretty, just practical. Joseph ends up being the one to teach Jotaro how to play, while you occasionally interject to mention something Joseph may have forgotten about. Jotaro just responds with non-committal grunts and wanders around the base, checking things out. 
Eventually, he goes off on his own to explore and find somewhere nearby to build a house. He hasn’t collected any resources, has no tools, or crafted a weapon of any kind when he starts exploring. You try to warn him that he should at least get a wooden sword to defend himself with, but he ignores you. It isn’t until night comes and he is nearly killed by zombies that he finally decides to get some wood and stone and make some basic tools. He still hasn’t found a decent place to build yet, though.  
After he’s wandered around for about 4 in-game days, he comes across a village. Jotaro watches the villagers run around, doing their thing, and is bemused at their silly appearance and sounds. But when nighttime comes and zombies start attacking them, Jotaro feels he’s found his purpose in the game. Somebody has to protect these dumb looking guys and it may as well be him. He teams up with Avdol and Joseph (who is a little miffed that someone found a village before he did) to form a “Village Security Team”. While Avdol fixes the village up by patching holes in walkways, correcting poorly spawned buildings, and starting work on building a monster proof wall around the village, Jotaro and Joseph stay up at night to fight off the monsters. 
Eventually, Jotaro builds a massive fortress near the village and Avdol attaches the wall to it. This fortress serves as Jotaro’s home and the village becomes the secondary base for you guys. Joseph jokingly calls him “King JoJo” and “Your Highness” which usually has Jotaro grumbling under his breath. He spends most of his days decorating or improving either the fortress or the village itself. When he’s not doing that, he’s usually tagging along on one of his Grandfather’s adventures. 
Kakyoin
The redstone wizard of the group. Noriaki’s beaten the game a few times already, but only recently started messing around with redstone contraptions. He set up an automated farm that both harvests and replants crops as well as a huge mineshaft with minecarts set up so that they returned to the surface to be unloaded whenever players filled them up with resources.
As innovative as he is, though, he often uses his redstone skills to be an absolute troll. And usually, his victim is you. That’s not to say that he hasn’t pranked any of the others yet, it’s just that you’re his favorite target. It’s kinda your fault though. It started back when you first started playing Minecraft together and you might have, possibly, sorta, kinda, completely un-accidentally pilfered a diamond or two from one of his chests. He knew you were the culprit because there wasn’t anyone else in the game at the time but the two of you. He didn’t call you out on it, though, assuming that you would replace the diamonds as soon as you got a chance. You never did. While you actually did have every intention of returning the diamonds to him, you just forgot about it. It didn’t help that you later developed a habit of helping yourself to whatever you found in his chests instead of going out and getting the resources for yourself. Hey, it was easier and it saved time!
Nori never said a word about it, instead opting to quietly plan his revenge. One day you went down into his storage basement to grab some cobblestone from one of his chests. You were only going to grab a stack or two and make a mental note (for the hundredth time) to replace whatever you took, but knowing that you’d probably forget. When you opened the chest, though, you didn’t find any cobblestone. Instead you found yourself staring into the sullen face of a creeper, its warning hiss in your ears. You let out a shriek of terror and braced yourself for the inevitable explosion, but it never came. You examined the “creeper” again only to see that it was nothing more than an armor stand wearing a creeper head and green dyed leather armor. It was inside of a minecart that was cleverly hidden behind the chest. You just stared at it as your brain slowly came to the conclusion that you’d just been pranked. 
“Ah, I see you found my theft deterrent.” Noriaki said, amusement clear in his voice. “It’s a nifty little project I found online called the ‘creeper in a box’ prank.” 
You can’t even say anything. He got you good and you know it. You made it a point to stay out of his storage basement from then on. 
It doesn’t stop there though. That one little incident unleashed Noriaki’s inner troll and you’re the one who gets to suffer for it. From filling your house with dirt blocks to slowly rearranging your decorations over time to see how long it would take for you to notice, Noriaki just seems to love messing with you. You have to admit that while his pranks are annoying, they are pretty funny and too clever for you to really get mad at. Your “favorite” was when he hid a bunch of note blocks under your house and arranged them to play a certain song when you opened the front door. 
“Nori, why is my house Rick Rolling me?” you demand of him, annoyed but admittedly amused. 
“Why are you asking me?” he says, playing dumb. 
He knows what he did. 
You eventually do give him his diamonds back in hopes that will appease him. It does… for a little while at least. 
Avdol
The master builder. Before being invited to play Minecraft with you guys, he’d never really played a video game before. But there was something about the building mechanics of the game that awakened something within him, possibly nostalgia for those calm times with building blocks when he was a little kid. Whatever the case, Avdol takes to building like a pro and all without any YouTube tutorials, too. You want a medieval style bakery? You got one. Want a modern bungalow? He’ll do it. Giant fire breathing demon chicken to put in the middle of the base? You can envision the weird looks he wants to give you, but he’ll make one of those, no problem. His best projects are the ones he does on his own, though, with no guidance and with minimal suggestions. 
Due to his building skills, he finds himself constantly busy within the game as someone always has some kind of building project they want help with. He even offered to improve Joseph’s plain block house. The old man told him to do whatever he pleased and then went off to go treasure hunting with Jotaro and Kakyoin. When Joseph came back he found his simple home had been converted into a deceptively cute cabin. While Joseph was impressed enough with how cozy it looked, Avdol revealed that the cabin had a secret, a well hidden secret chamber that appealed to Joseph's inner superhero fanboy. He had his very own secret lair now (yeah, it’s not really a secret if everybody on the server knows about it, but let the old man dream)!
Over time, Avdol has added things here and there to the base to keep things from looking so plain. He’s added a decorated pond for fishing and just a place to hang out. There’s also a meeting area for when the whole gang gets together right before going on an adventure (brings back bittersweet memories. At least this time there’s no danger of anyone actually dying.). 
And yes, he even added that giant fire breathing demon chicken statue you wanted so badly. Your odd tastes aside, Avdol managed to make the abomination of a statue look rather cool and stylized. Kakyoin wants it to be the mascot for your group. It ends up being put on any and all banners for the base, much to Avdol’s chagrin. 
Every time he gets online with you guys he is either working on a project or starting another one. He never seems to run out of things to do. Surprisingly, his own home is rather quaint. Just a regular old farm house, but it’s very pretty. And yes, he has a chicken farm. 
Polnareff
Chaos incarnate. This man got into the game and immediately started doing everything WRONG! Digging straight down, forgetting to sleep at least once to ward off phantoms, forgetting to crouch when standing at the edge of great heights, you name it he’s messed it up. So basically just Polnareff being Polnareff. He always manages to find danger or danger finds him. Every monster in the area seems to target him specifically. On one mining trip you actually watched around five zombies shamble right past you and head straight for a very startled Polnareff. They completely ignored you! He’s died so many times that you actually put in the “keep inventory” cheat so that at the very least he stops losing all of his hard earned resources. 
Speaking of resources, when it comes to mining it’s the one thing that Jean Pierre is really, really lucky at. To the point that it makes everyone else jealous. He was the first to find diamonds and emeralds and the first to manage to get full stacks of both. You never even thought it possible to find 64 emeralds naturally, but Polnareff managed to pull it off. Joseph is quick to accuse him of cheating which results in a very childish argument between the two until you step in and explain that you were with Polnareff the whole time and he just finds diamonds and emeralds by chance. Joseph apologizes but grumbles when Polnareff laughs. Ever since then, whenever he comes across diamonds, or anything even remotely interesting, he is very obnoxious about it. 
“HEY GUYS!!! GUESS WHO FOUND EVEN MORE DIAMONDS?!!” he’ll shout in an annoying sing-song voice.
This usually results in annoyed huffs from Avdol and Kakyoin, disgruntled “Good griefs” from Jotaro, not-so-humble requests for him to stop bragging like an asshole from Joseph, and a threat or two from you that if he didn’t stop rubbing your faces in it, you would shove him into the nearest lava pit. This always earns a mischievous giggle or two from him. He’s so full of himself about it. He does make up for it though, when he crafts full sets of diamond armor for you all. For all his arrogant bragging, he’s really rather generous with his finds. If any of you need diamonds or emeralds he’s the first to offer up his stash. After all, he has so many, why shouldn’t he share? ~ ❤
Whenever he goes mining, you usually tag along. You say that it’s so you can help him carry his loot, but actually it’s because you’re his self appointed babysitter. Just like in real life, it just isn’t a good idea for him to run off by himself. You never say that out loud though because you know how sensitive he is about being danger-prone. Besides he likes having you along and the two of you end up as mining buddies almost every time you play. Sometimes Kakyoin joins you as he’s always in need of redstone and other materials for his contraptions (it’s important to note that Polnareff is Kakyoin’s second favorite trolling victim and it always makes you nervous whenever he tags along because you never know if he’s up to something or just genuinely wants to collect resources.). 
Whenever you and Polnareff go off on your own to do anything, the rest of the Crusaders server prepares their poor ears for the inevitable screaming and swearing that will follow. Something happens to you whenever you pair up with Polnareff. Your brain power seems to get cut in half and the two of you end up becoming an unintentional comedy duo that has everyone else either laughing or, in Jotaro’s case, muting you for being “too damn loud”. 
There was one time that Polnereff was digging a strip mine that ended up leading right into the Deep Dark and the Warden’s territory. You can probably guess what happened. Before you could warn him, Polnareff’s antics end up summoning the Warden and the monster kills you both before either of you have a chance to panic. This results in Polnareff seeking revenge (or trying to) and going all the way back to the Deep Dark to fight the Warden again (and dragging you along each time), and (both of you) dying again. This happens about three more times before he actually manages to defeat the Warden only to find out that he doesn’t get any kind of reward for it (other than bragging rights, which believe me, he takes advantage of). 
On a minor note, Polnareff’s inventory is always extremely unorganized. Whether referring to his personal inventory or his storage chests his inventory is in shambles. There’s no rhyme or reason for where he places things in his hotbar and sometimes he’ll end up hitting monsters with a stick or block of glass rather than his sword. He also has a bad habit of using the wrong tool for certain jobs, such as using his pickaxe on dirt instead of his shovel and it drives more organized players like Kakyoin and Avdol insane. 
BONUS:
Iggy
(We’re assuming that the little gremlin lives with you) While he can’t exactly play video games for obvious reasons, he does kinda like watching you play, but that’s only if he’s not trying to take a nap (you’re kinda noisy). Most of the time he just plops down in his comfy spot and watches you struggle to survive in what he mentally calls the “stupid human block game”. He is really amused whenever you and Polnareff team up because watching you two together is comedy gold. Sometimes, when you’re playing alone, he’ll wait for you to be exploring a dark, creepy cave and suddenly bark very loudly for no reason, causing you to very nearly jump out of your skin. 
Iggy: “BARK!”
You scream, swear, and jump back so hard that your headset falls off. Your mouse has been practically thrown across the room. You turn around and glare at the little brat. 
“IGGY!” you shout accusingly. 
The cheeky little doggo runs out of the room making sounds that can be interpreted as the canine equivalent of snickering.

Okay I had a THOUGHT about Early Bird. Or specifically, what happens after it.
Because Diavolo's still out there, still has his stand arrow/s. And Giorno either doesn't exist, or he's much older than in canon. Possibly even in a position where he can be much more effective in either combatting or infiltrating Passione.
Basically what I'm trying to say is 20-something Giorno Giovanna kinda taking Bucciarati's role as inspirational surrogate parent.
ailing you managed to rummage around my brain and pull out an idea I thought I'd forgotten about
so doing the math, Jotaro would be around 31 in Canon Part 5, and he was 6 in Early Bird Part 3. Giorno was born about 3 years before Canon Part 3, which if we have that be the same here leads to a....... shockingly only 3 year age gap
now, of course there's also room to mess around with when Part 5 happens since if you wanna get really technical, Dio wouldn't have been able to be given the arrows by Enyaba since she wouldn't have been able to buy them off Doppio at this time, but that's a little too gritty for me so let's just shuffle things around instead and just say it all works out by shoving Doppio's trip back a few years
anyways back with Giorno, an old idea I had more or less has Giorno...... with the kiddos as well. I KNOW, THIS IS TECHNICALLY A PRETTY LATE ADDITION TO THE AU BUT HEAR ME OUT:
Dio of course has Jotaro already planned out to be his successor. There's a whole multilayered scheme going on here with loads of irony and revenge and what not, and he doesn't want to give that up. It's just too perfect.
However, Dio has also learned from his mistakes and knows he shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket. After all, given the fact he doesn't have Pucci this time, he is currently without a back up plan
enter: one Haruno Shiobana
this is also where Dio's interactions with the kids get more....... complicated. Because Haruno is the spare so to speak........ but at the same time he's pretty well cared for. Arguably better than the other kids, simply because of the fact he's new. Unlike the other kids, he doesn't need to be convinced of anything. This life and Dio is all he's known, he doesn't need to worry about Haruno trying to escape since....... well, why would he try
not to mention, Haruno's too young to participate in any kind of training, and again he's the spare. He shouldn't have to be trained since if everything goes to plan, he won't be needed as a successor. Maybe he could be a powerful underling one day if his Stand is strong enough, but Jotaro is supposed to be the future leader.
so honestly....... Jotaro's the only one who ever actually interacted with Giorno. He's kept separate from most of the other kids, but of course Dio wanted his heir to meet his possible second. And their interactions were about as interesting as a 3 year old and an ill 6 year old could be.
(who knows, maybe Haruno's mother is here as well? Of course, this does raise the question of whether or not she'd take Haruno with her when she inevitably flees the mansion, but for the sake of the AU let's say she does)
but when they're free.......... this is when things get a bit fun :)
because well....... given their ages, the two honestly don't remember each other super well. Haruno hardly remembers any of his time in the mansion at all, and Jotaro's memories are foggy from time and sickness. Kakyoin might know of Haruno's existence from their talks, but admittedly the toddler's importance wasn't NEARLY as much in his mind as compared to being rescued and getting Jotaro to a hospital
by the time Kakyoin's able to tell Holly and Joseph, Haruno's long gone
Italy I'd imagine isn't too different. Sure there's of course the differing dynamics between Giorno and the team given the fact he's 28 (and now the oldest member of the team by a landslide, Abbacchio being the closest at 21) but plot wise? There's definitely the question of do we play it straight or get creative with it which........ okay let's be real we're most likely gonna go the creative route jrdbvjdrbvs
I'm definitely very interested in how Koichi little quest goes down and how Giorno will deal with his chasing, and ofc how Jotaro will fall into things here
Polnareff definitely will make things interesting, since he's of course very related to Events All Those Years Ago and would likely be aware of the fact that Dio son who went missing that fateful night
there's a lot of room to Get Funky With It :)
also I'm just. Rotating Jotaro and Giorno's childhoods. How the mansion was the best and safest Giorno had ever been, and had he grown up there he honestly probably wouldn't have had that bad of a life, at least in comparison to his mother's neglect and step-father's abuse.
but that being in stark contrast to Jotaro's own experience. How the mansion was literal hell. How he was stolen away from his life and family and very nearly died, scared and alone.
how Dio managed to be Giorno's savior and Jotaro's nightmare
how Holly's rescue was Jotaro's saving grace and the thing that shattered any hope of Giorno's good future
how these two are family, both by blood and by the man who attempted to raise and shape them

Jjba Stardust Crusaders Ep. 45 - FINALE Thoughts
Tumblr media
God. Fuck.
Under the cut.
Ep. 45
This is the least insane episode of the four we have.
Tumblr media
So, the episode starts with Polnareff and Dio. The whole sequence is just Dio toying with him. He could have killed him 100 times over. Dio's ego is actively making things harder for himself.
I love the crew bring absolutely horrified and jumping out of the window. The sun is setting so they don't have much time.
Joseph's plan of hiding till dawn makes sense to me. Polnareff and Kakyoin object though, I get why. They both have been used by Dio, Polnareff saw Advol and Iggy get murdered in front of him.
The group splits in two, though we end up mostly focusing on Kakyoin and Joseph. The chase sequence is nice. All the info they get is about the physical stand, unfortunately.
Tumblr media
Ep. 46
Kakyoin has a plan to find out Dio's ability.
The episode starts with with a childhood flashback and yeah... I pretty much accepted he was gonna die at this point. You know how it is with jjba.
Really interesting flashback. It confirms me saying he was a lonely kid as true. He feels alone because no one can see Hierophant Green. "How can they understand me if they cant even see the real me." He thinks of his stand as a part of him from a young age. A stand is a part of one's soul. In a way, his stand is the reason why he feels so alone but also his companion. I was under the impression having a stand was something that runs in the family. I thought at least his family could understand but we never learn if that was the case (most likely not). Also, how rare is a stand anyway? 2%, 0.01%? Makes you think.
Our crew were people with stands, I imagine this was the first time he could connect with people.
Tumblr media
Kakyoin's plan is to make Hierophant invisible, surround the area with tendrils to hopefully detect Dio's stand. It goes so horribly wrong.
This entire section is me talking about Kakyoin's death and it's so long. just skip it if you don't wanna hear all that. I had fun puking my thoughts straight into paper (keyboard?? Screen?) tho.
Tumblr media
There is heroic and everything and then in a split second Kakyoin crashes to a water dam nearby with half of his stomach gone. Not showing the World at first was a great choice imo. Just shows how horrifying this stand is to our characters.
This scene is fucking heartbreaking. He has pretty much accepted he was gonna die, thinking about his family. He uses his last breath to help the Joestars. Despite being a crybaby, I don't cry watching tv shows all that much. This one got me tho, I'm getting really sad just writing.
When you kill of a character you destroy any potential plots and writing you can have with them in the future for one single gut punch (sorry). When you are writing it's measuring a characters potential vs the impact of their death.
I can't say if he would fit well into later parts because I haven't watched them yet. What I can say is, Kakyoin got what he wanted, friends. He is still not mature yet, he is 17 for fucks sake, but him finding friends for once and not feeling lonely anymore was his main storyline.
Tumblr media
I can understand why he was killed. I do this was a good choice for his character, compared to making him an minor side character for the later parts. His death is done really well. Only thing I would change is the music. It's a bit corny imo.
And you can't deny his death wasn't in vain. There was no way in hell's chance Jotaro would have beaten Dio otherwise. He plays a huge part in Dio's demise. They could have gone for a a vain death, Kakyoin is the closest we have to an heroic archetype. They could have gone for a tragic death instead because of this. I'm glad they didn't. It's not like unfair deaths couldn't be done well (They could be even better than the standard sacrifice when done well), it's just that I'm tired of seeing heroic characters die unfairly all the time nowadays.
I personally am a big fan characters who had their character arc already be a part of later parts as a supporting character. Either having a different storyline or being a source of stability. I was hoping Kak would have that instead but Jotaro fills that quota better than he does. You could have both as a duo if you felt like it though.
Tumblr media
All of this is also why I didn't like Advol's death all that much. At least that's why I think I don't like it. I like Advol almost as much as Kakyoin but his death left me frustrated more than anything. His character was underutilized here, so killing him off seems bizarre to me. He still has a lot of potential.
His death is done so much worse too. No time to grieve, no one outside of Polnareff mentions him. He dies really early into the episode too. We don't even get to hear his thoughts like we do with Kak. He just sacrifices himself for Polnareff, again. That's not a great send off for a character. Polnareff being saved by others was established multiple times. Literary every Crusader has saved him at some point. Iggy sacrifices himself for him later too. So, I have to ask, what's the point of killing Advol then 💀?? I don't understand and I would love to read people's opinions on this when I get the chance.
Okay death talk over.
Oh yeah, there was the rest of the episode.
Tumblr media
Joseph also fucking dies but not really. Before he dies he reminds us hamon exists for a second. Makes sure to tell Jotaro Kakyoin's find.
I would like to point out how Dio kills the cat for shits and giggles. This is such a huge contrast to Kars that it's cracking me up.
Love that Jotaro gets more and more pissed off every time Dio spurts out someone's name.
The episode ends with the meme. I thought the meme would hamper my enjoyment but the Jotaro vs Dio is just kinda silly like that. I found it pretty funny personally. Not sure if that was the intended vibe.
Ep. 47
Tumblr media
Dio opening?? Di o opneing? das so cooll
I've been replaying the za warudo sound effect for an hour now someone help me
Here comes the big plot twist, Dio and Jotaro have the SAME STAND. I love this reveal, I'll be honest. My one complaint would be that it could have been better if it was lightly hinted before. Otherwise though, I love it when characters realize their actual power. I also love characters with time powers and I already like Jotaro a lot, I fully support this.
It was so satisfying seeing Jotaro trick Dio and punch thru his stomach. Get karma'd shithead.
Oh, Polnareff. I forgot he was here.
I love the shot of Dio just zapping to Jotaro when he sees him move. Some looney toon ass bit.
Using Star Platinum to stop his own heartbeat was definitely one of the boldest things he has done.
Tumblr media
Zero context gif
And then. And then just as he was about to die he sucks away Joseph's blood to revive himself. And that gives him a just awful hairdo.
I have no idea what they were going for with this. He is so ugly holy shit. Kill him with fire.
Ep. 48
Tumblr media
It's mostly the same stuff as episode 47. The steamroller was pretty funny.
"You've done one mistake, Dio. You pissed me off." Who thought of this line it's awful.
Joseph gets revived wit Dio's blood. I live how Jotaro was basically saying how painful this journey was and that he could at least get one thing positive.
I'll be honest if my grampa did this to me I would have straight up killed him again.
Holly is fine and well. The Joestars and Polnareff part ways. Poor Polnareff tho, he was the closest to both Advol and Kakyoin.
The part 3 ends.
------------
We still not done!! There is still the OVA. It differs a lot from both the manga and the anime in a lot of ways so I thought it deserved it's own section.
OVA 11
Tumblr media
They merged the coffin scene and Advol's death together. So instead of some goon Dio kills Advol. I like this better compared to the anime/manga but not by much.
Aaaah poor Iggy.
They don't bother with Vanilla Ice being a vampire, which I like.
Instead of having the whole group chat on the roof they get naturally separated instead. Jotaro and Joseph come across Dio. When Joseph tells Jotaro to run away he answers "You want me to run away now?" echoing Polnareff and Kakyoin's statements in the anime.
And then Dio throws Jotaro off the building with The World. As much as I like the sound design of the anime, I actually love how they didn't add any sound to his stand here.
Joseph gets saved from death by Kakyoin. He uses one of the tendrils to save Joseph and then uses emerald splash to make the dome of the building crash on Dio. It's actually a pretty cool sequence just watch it.
So that's how the gang gets separated. I like it more than the anime if I'm being honest.
OVA 12
Tumblr media
This is the episode most faithful to the manga of the three.
The comments tell me Satoshi Kon was one of the directors in this. I am too lazy to confirm but it does have a similar style to his works. I'm really glad for that honestly. I've always loved Satoshi Kon.
I like the detail of Kakyoin saying maybe his power was teleporting, and Joseph telling him not to draw conclusions.
Emerald splash is a lot more intimidating in the OVA. I'm not sure which one I prefer. I do like the sound design of it in the anime.
In the OVA, Dio doesn't attack him right away. Dio says he shouldn't hasten his death, and that he is talented and just join him instead. Anime Dio doesn't bother with all that. He is just like "You wanna see The World do bad?? There you fucking go fool." and then kills him. While I do like what Kak says to Dio, I like the anime version of this wayy more.
OVA 13
Tumblr media
I could go on about all the differences and what I like but just watch it tbh. They throw around cars and towers it's amazing.
I love the art style of the OVA just as much as the manga/anime. It's voice acting and soundtrack are not the best. The animation has some issues but it's fun. Also free to watch on Youtube.
ANNND We are done. This was a wild ride. I'm glad I watched it though. I can't wait to watch part 4.
I probably won't write as much for part 4 because it takes a long time. Maybe go 8 episode per post. I haven't figured it out yet. I might not even journal anything for it depending on how things go.
