Ive Started To Re-watch Stardust Crusaders And Everytime I Do I Need A Twenty Minute Break Between Every

I’ve started to re-watch stardust crusaders and everytime I do I need a twenty minute break between every episode to recalculate the fanon Jotaro in my head to the canon one. I feel Kakyoin is pretty justified in my mind (even if I make him just a teensy bit more socially inept for giggles) but Jotaro is always tricky because there’s so much fan-made media that, yeah, I enjoy a lot but also he would not fucking do that— don’t get me wrong, it’s the funniest thing in the world to think he would have a secret stash of sea plushies but it’s even FUNNIER to think he keeps all his beer bottle caps and counts them everyday before he goes to bed because if he doesn’t the world is going to explode or something.

Like, anxiety is a pretty common reaction to trauma, especially with Kakyoin, whose stand literally has the ability to control someone (to an extent). So OCD symptoms such as daily rituals and avoidance to change seems like something both Kakyoin and Jotaro would have.

And while that’s also not canon I like it a lot more because I’m projecting and Jotaro and Kakyoin are my traumatized OCs I’m about to cut the arms and legs off of.

Also, I like the idea that Jotaro and Kakyoin’s bedrooms are either decrepit or spotless. And I don’t mean ‘spotless’ like clean and organized, I mean sterile, nothing on the walls, bed dead centre in the room and a desk, lamp, shelf with two books on it, and maybe a drawer with a keychain in it one of them got from a festival two years ago. Psychiatric ward vibes. But for the LIFE of me I can’t decide which one would be which.

I see a lot of fanart where it’s like, Jotaro has dolphin posters and Kakyoin has a Minecraft bedspread and yeah, I fucking love that, but I love the idea of Jotaro having to sit on a towel on Kakyoin’s floor so his ass doesn’t go numb because Kakyoin won’t let him sit on the perfect, wrinkless bed and his mom won’t let them play Mario in the living room so much better.

I think, truly in my heart and soul, Jotaro’s chronic insomnia does not help with his fucked-up-ness and throughout the week he gets increasingly more unhinged.

Eventually the hours do work against him and he crashes— literally comatose. He goes to sleep on Tuesday and wakes up on Thursday kind of zonked out. But those last couple days before the crash he’s on the verge of insanity, his brain is shrunk forty percent like that of a dementia patient. This man is not doing calculus in math class he is hallucinating.

So yeah, he doesn’t look it but one morning when Kakyoin walked to his house to pick him up for school he sees Jotaro running out of the woods by his house with feathers stuck in his hair.

‘Wanted to see how high I could jump.’ Is his response. He doesn’t explain the feathers. ‘Want to see?’

And Kakyoin’s like ‘Absolutely I do’. And then he watches Jotaro jump super fucking high with star platinum giving him a boost, smack head first into a seagull (which explains the feathers), flail around a bit mid-air, and eat fucking shit face first. He’s fine for the rest of the day and nobody asks him why his nose is bleeding.

After the events of SDC I think Jotaro’s insomnia gives him a lot of time to experiment with star’s range of abilities and develop new ones. He can do a bunch of hyper specific things now and Kakyoin has named all of them after Pokémon characters.

Got that Kakuna harden when star moves so fast he fuses metal to his fists and makes the shadiest brass knuckles in the world.

Also, might I add, Jotaro and Kakyoin both have the ‘underexpressive autism’ so they’re flat faced, dead serious at all times. Jotaro sticks a giant googly eye to Kakyoin’s forehead in art class and he just looks at him like a goat; nothing behind the eyes, the ceiling fans literally reflect in his peepers like a tv screen. That motherfucker to the naked eye looks like he hasn’t had a single thought yet today.

Okay so I’ve been learning Japanese for a while now and I’ve finally got to the ‘I can sort of read’ level of illiterate and so to encourage myself to keep going I’ve been reading jjba comics on pixiv and, yeah, I don’t know what’s happening most of the time or which fated image is going to haunt me for the rest of my life until I see a character suffocate a puppy in a plastic bag and get jump scared by some NSFW that wasn’t tagged in English but I’m CRYING at this

How the fuck did they forcefully feminize him but in the next panel make him have the face of a man who walked to the gates of heaven just to turn around disappointed the moment he saw god??? He looks like he saw someone get shot.

[Distant screaming]

If I ever get a girlfriend she’s gotta look like a Great Egret
